Gene Larew Biffle Bug - $4.99
Please Note: Bama Bug & Okeechobee Craw Are Imaged Correctly.
The Gene Larew Biffle Bug incorporates the best features of several top baits into one compact design. The Biffle Bug's body is slim yet wide, and covered with concentric ridges. The first 3/4 inch of the Biffle Bug is solid for hook support, while the rest of its body is hollow like a tube. The cavity is oval, not round, better fitting the shape of the body and also serving to hold a rattle in place simply through natural compression. The Biffle Bug's hyper-active swimming legs feature a special foot-pad to make them come alive with the slightest movement.
Pinch the legs off and the Biffle Bug becomes the perfect glide bait. The cupped tail provides unmatched action to the lure's descent. Although more compact and streamlined with the legs removed, the Biffle Bug retains an enticing profile that screams "easy meal."
Tommy Biffle won the BASS Ft. Gibson Elite Series throwing the "Sooner Run" colored Biffle Bug.
Comments: This has become my go to bait for catching big fish. It is deadly on docks or ledges. I caught a 8.2lb and a 4lb. on docks in a tournament that only 8 anglers caught fish. It is great on ledges also. The 4.25 oz. purple bug has been my best producing bait.
From: Carl: Hunterville, NC 7/17/14
Comments: I have no clue of what in the world this thing resembles or how it got to the drawing board but believe one thing buddy this is a fish catching machine in a Bag. Dark Watermelon Green And Purple Flake with a 3/16 Spot Remover head and send it to the bottom or Carolina Rig it stuffed with a Cotton Ball full of Smelly Jelly.
From: CJ: Gretna, LA 7/9/14
Comments: There is no question about the fish catching ability of this bait! Any conditions this bait can and will catch fish. Countless times I have put my kicker fish in the boat with a biffle bug accompanied with the biffle hard head.
From: Cody: North, TX 5/27/14
Comments: LOVE this bait! Durability 9/10 the durability is great, i caught 4 bass until it actually started ripping, and i could still even use it! Action 10/10 on the fall the 2 little legs flap erratically and the bass just engulf it! Price 7/10 a little on the expensive side but its totally worth it. All in all if you are looking for a great creature bait to use any time of the year, the 4.25 inch biffle bug in green pumpkin is the way to go! Rig it on a VMC rugby jig head (5/16 oz) and go to town! I found my go to creature bait!
From: Colin: MA 4/24/14
Comments: Combined with the hard head, the Biffle Bug is an easy-to-fish hybrid between a texas rig and crank bait. Honestly, with the hard head it is a simple cast-and-reel lure, just keep it on the bottom. Buy any shade of green and you can't go wrong.
From: Richard: TX 4/18/14
Comments: I'm With Jay, fished the whole day with the Biffle Bug and caught 2 alright sized fish. first cast with the D Bomb, got a 4 pounder. Ended up catching 7 fish on the D Bomb. I was using the hard head jig on the Biffle Bug, but just a t-rig on the D-Bomb which may have made the difference.
From: Logan: USA 3/29/14
Comments: Oh boy I'm gonna get bashed (I don't care) but fished side by side with a D Bomb, the D Bomb gets bit more, every time. Now, this is just during a month-long pitching bite (and just casting them around too) but still...
From: Jay6: USA
Comments: Fantastic bait. Hard to fish wrong - I've caught big fish on the hardhead, flipping it, swimming it, T-rigging it, and recently starting rigging it sideways on a swim jig just to see if it would work that way. It did. Will be your next go-to bait.
From: John: Tulsa, OK, USA
Comments: It is my honest opinion that this bait is the best creature bait on the market.Awesome when flipped as a stand alone bait. It's hollow, so you can insert a rattle or use a foam ear plug soaked with your favorite scent or use both in conjunction with each other. As a jig trailer, They dress up a football very very nicely. Okie Dokie color on a Santone football jig in Mexican Heather color is a go to on Rayburn for me. As a swimjig trailer, the legs on this thing pulse through the water very well. No need to shake the rod tip to get the skirt to flare and produce action, it's not needed.I wish Gene Larew sold bulk packs like Gambler does on their website. A+ and 5 stars for these.
From: Tim: TX
Comments: Great bait year around. Absolutely foolproof!
From: Rich: Tulsa, OK
Comments: The BEST creature bait on the market. I've tried lots, and none compare to the biffle bug. I can't count the number of bass I've caught on it, and I just started using it this year. Cons: A bit pricey at $5 per bag, because after about 3-4 fish, you gotta have a new one. Pros: IT CATCHES FISH. So who cares about the cons! 'nuff said! <
From: Eric: Mississippi, USA
Comments: What a great bait!! I have the 4.25" in Black Neon & Silver and Black & Yellow underside. The flapping legs are what set this bait apart and draw bass attention. Tip is solid, but body hollow to hold a rattle. Surprisingly durable. Caught a 20" 4.67# bass and one 18" 3.5# plus several smaller and the baits look like new. Great color selection. I throw mine on 4/0 Trokar swimbait hook with 1/8oz tungston bullet. Can also use as jig trailer. May 2013.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: I fished with the 3.5" version of this bait in the holston river in tennessee for some big smallmouth. I rigged it on a 1/16 oz shakeyhead on 6 pound test line and couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I swam it through pools and caught fish after fish. I got back from TN and tried it in a warm, grassy pond by my house and using the same method, I caught a solid 7 pound pre-spawn female. GREAT BAIT!
From: Baxter: Acworth, GA
Comments: These baits are SWEET. Just started using them this year rigged with the Biffle Hardheads and have caught a bunch of big bass, both largemouth and smallmouth on these, and have won 2 of 3 tournaments with a good amount of fish coming on these. I've caught them on deep rock piles, flipping docks, fish on beds and just swimming them like a swim jig, it all works with this bait
From: Jake: Boston, MA
Comments: Great for prespawn smallmouth. Fish it like a spinnerbait. Out performed spinnerbait 3:1.
From: Mike: Chicago, IL
Comments: The best their is. First cast with the jalapeno pepper, in about 3 seconds i get a hit from a 12# largemouth. So i got about 5 more colors and found that the Jalapeno and the blackberry work the best. But no matter what color you get you will catch the bass. GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: David
Comments: This bait is awesome!!! and I will continue to use it they work just perfect I practically use the bait very much with out changing the bait I have other good lures but like this bait I catch Bass after Bass I bag about 5 Bass in less than 1 hour 1/2 over the 4lbs. weight I use the Biffle Bug DRK WTRMLN / Neon/ Wtrmln Neon and won't give up the use of it I recommend this bait to those anglers that really love the action.
From: Johnny: Orlando, FL
Comments: Picked these up for my Kentucky Lake trip. Caught several, and my best bass of the trip on these. Brought them back to the cold smallmouth waters of northen Michigan and have been consistent on them. I've only used the Biffle Hardhead so far and love how it tumbles over gravel and rock with minimal snags.
From: Arin: MI
Comments: I bought a pack to just try and see what the hype was about. They are good baits. They are very durable and they will catch fish. I bought red bug and have caught some good fish on it. I will buy more colors and try them out. Still waiting to see how good it works when money is on the line.
From: Jake: Montgomery, AL
Comments: Swimed this bait in my pond and the 2nd cast , caught a 4.25 lbs largie! Thanks Gene Larew
From: Lucas: Glasgow, KY
Comments: This bait is "fool proof" to say the least. Not many baits out there with the versatility this bait presents. Whether flippin and pitchin or bottom buggin it's incredible! I couldn't guess the number of fish I have caught on this bait and the funny thing is it doesn't matter which natural color you throw... They bite'em all! Cast, let it fall, reel it with constant contact with the bottom, then HANG ON because you will catch fish! It's the closest bait in my arsenal that is good enough to guarantee! Enjoy!!
From: Jason: Wagoner, OK
Comments: This is an awesome fliping and pitching bait. they are a little pricey at 5.00 bucks a bag but well worth it when you flip into a bush and hook into a big fish
From: Alec: Highland, IL
Comments: Very productive right now! Our water temps are hovering around 60¡. Put this on a River2Sea Touch Down Jig head and flip around cover and structure. Very durable bait and lots of action.
From: Daniel: Spokane, WA
Comments: Clearly I must be doing something wrong because I've not gotten so much as a nibble with this bait whether I texas rig it, use a Biffle Hardhead or anything else. Weird.
From: Mike: Jackson, MO
Comments: This bait is completely amazing. Have been catching very nice largemouth on this bait. When the jig bite quits throw one of these. Nice job Gene Larew!!!
From: Clint: Pleasant Plains, AR
Comments: Great lure. Caught 12 lg. mouth bass in one area in 4 hours.11 bass over 2 1/2 lbs. and 1 pushing 4 lbs.
From: Kyle: Akron, OH
Comments: This is a dandy smallmouth lure.
From: V: Jamestown, TN
Comments: Great lure first three bass were all over 4 pounds.
From: Ben: St. Peters, MO
Comments: There is a reason these things are selling out fast, that's because they catch fish. Throw them Texas rigged and hold on.
From: Jason: North Charleston, SC
Comments: AMAZING! Threw this bait texas rigged and it was dynamite! First bass weighed 5 lbs. Went through the only bag I had in 10 minutes.

Really Sparkly! -
Jul, Racine, WI
I ordered 12 of these and really didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. They are exactly like in the picture...nice and full, not hard to "pose" or fluff them out. They were packaged very nice. The one thing I think could use some improvement would be the weighted base. It could stand to be a little bit heavier...I may have to duck tape some of them to the table because they seem to be top-heavy. Other than that, they are going to be perfect for the tables. I also ordered the blue sparkly graduation cap centerpieces so that I can vary the color scheme.

I am helping a family friend work on his pole building. He decided to turn 1/3rd of it into his little mancave/party room. We are at the point of starting to put up wood panels on the inside and he has decided that he want's to prewire it for some speakers to use now or in the future. The building is decently sized (36' x 36' x 14' high ceilings). I attached a quick sketch of what he is planning. Mancave.pdf He was thinking placing 6 speakers at the locations marked with an "S". They will be around 8' off the floor.
What would be a good speaker to utilize for this setup? It will be used for general music (he want to be able to hear people talk when they are playing (he's 60), and volume for the tv during football games, etc. He does like listening to mostly rock (will most likely play his Sirius XM source through the).
I don't have much experience with this, so all recommendations would be helpful. The first idea he has was to use Bose 301's, only because that is what I use in the little sports bar I help run. They work good for low level music and for later in the night when people want it louder.
After that, what would be the best way to power them? He is looking to have the same source through all speakers. This is the part that I need the most help with. Would just a receiver work or should we look into getting something a little more robust?

This is one of those scenes that have everything in it, foot fetish, fingering, sex toys, cock sucking and many more. This lucky guy won the lotteri with Anri Suzuki. She´s a hot milf from Japan and as most Asians she looks stunning in sexy lingerie and white stockings. She´s a foot fetish maniac too, so she loves to grab that big boner with her feet, and give to this guy a nice foot masturbation. Last but not least she gets the cock right in her shaved cunt.

It will never cease to amaze me the things you can find in a big city. Being a reviewer I look at all kinds of things from dining to movies and this time it was a new adult club. The club had just opened and the owners wanted an opinion on it, so, I went that night to check it out. Their headliner was a gal called Kaomi Amamiya a pretty gal with big tits and a hairy pussy that she enjoyed showing off. She also enjoyed picking customers out and getting them onstage for blow jobs! You should check out her threesomes!
A friend of mine ran into Kaomi Amamiya in the city one evening when he was taking in a few adult shows. She was guesting in one of the theatres he was in. They were screening her latest film and she was there for publicity and she came out totally naked on stage and selected a couple guys from the audience and re enacted a scene from her movie. She had them drop their pants and she took both cocks in her mouth for a blow job to show off her talents live! He said it was definitely a different way to advertise a movie, but also one that you wouldn??t forget easily!
Kaomi Amamiya has a candle shop on the boardwalk where she sells adult shaped candles to the customers. She says it is quite profitable but her side business is much better for money and she doesn??t have to pay taxes on it either. I asked what it was and she told me to come back after closing and I would find out. So, I was back after the shops in her area had all closed and there were several guys hanging around outside her door. I asked them what she had going in there and I was told she is a masseuse who specializes in the happy ending rubs!

TRAINING: It depends on the day, but on a typical day I will have my boxing training in the morning, where we go over technique, pads, etc. I will then go straight into my strength and conditioning workout, which entails footwork and mobility, weights, conditioning and the like. I will get a break to rest and fuel up for our next practice, which is sparring. We will spar hard, with new guys coming in each round.

Comments about Diamondback Sortie 29Er 1 MTB Bike '12:
This bike makes trail riding effortless. The knockle box suspension philosophy makes a lot of sense, and was probably the reason why I ultimately chose to get this bike. Lowering the center of gravity of the bike translates to better handling and pedal efficiency. What it all translates to is a rig that climbs like a xc bike, descents like a proper trail bike with sturdy construction worthy of an AM bike. The bike is on the heavier side of things 31+ lbs, but the pedaling efficiency and the big wheels do compensate for this to a good extent. If you really want to shed pounds off this rig, just upgrade it base on the specs of the higher models of this bike (the "Sortie Black 29er" is able to achieve 27lb with the same frame).

Comments about Diamondback Sortie 29Er 1 MTB Bike '12:
I use this bike as a cross country bike. I love it because when you lock out the forks and the rear shock, the bike is a stiffy. Don't get me wrong it ain't no hard tail.... I swapped out a few parts like the pedals,handle bars, and stem. I was looking for a short cockpit and to sit up a little bit more. But I have weak stems on my body that are short. Other than that it is a great buy and you better get it quick because the 2013 are ugly

Comments about Diamondback Sortie 29Er 1 MTB Bike '12:
I spent alot of time reading and comparing several bikes form Spec, to GT, Rocky MT, and Giant. This bike is simply a great choice and I'm very happy with this purchase.
It rides like a dream. Its very comfortable on just about any trail. The Fox shocks are great on this bike.
The only complaint I could come up with is the shifters. They can be loud and harsh at times. I'll have to spend some time adjusting them after I quit spending every minute riding this awesome 29'er...
I bought this bike along with a 2011 DiamondBack Mission 1 for my son. He's more of the Downhill/Freeride kind of kid...
Both are awesome bikes!!!

I quite enjoyed 666 Park Avenue, will definitely continue to watch that one.
I quite enjoyed 666 Park Avenue, will definitely continue to watch that one.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Of all the new shows I have seen so far only Guys with Kids, Copper and Vegas are keepers.
"NBC has announced full season pickups of three of its new shows.
Sci-fi drama "Revolution," Matthew Perry's comedy "Go On" and the Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler produced sitcom, "The New Normal," were given full-season commitments for the 2012-2013 television season, Jennfier Salke, President of NBC Entertainment announced on Tuesday."
Happy for The New Normal. It's my favorite new show this year.
I'm happy that Revolution and Go On got full season pick ups. I've enjoyed both of them so far but Go On may be a goner once Happy Endings comes back on in a few weeks.
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
"I guess I'm just...I'm not used to someone putting me first." -Emma, Once Upon a Time, episode 2x3, Lady of the Lake
watching 666 Park Avenue for the first time. Am reeeeeeally distracted by the lead actress' hair. It looks like an ill-fitting wig than no one wants to style.
It's kind of a PG version of American Horror Story, innit? I love me some Terry O'Quinn and Vanessa Williams, so I may keep watching it, but there isn't anything about the young couple who just became managers that make me care about them.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
PML Walton Goggins on SOA as a transvestite hooker Venus Love. In butt chapps. That was the funniest thing I've seen on this show.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
After watching Revolution so far, it's becoming apparent that, while the show works, the kid playing Charlie has a lot to learn about acting. The other actors in the show are pretty good, but that young girl is painfully inexperienced and it shows.
BTW, I'm ecstatic that "Go On" has already been renewed. In so many ways this show could go off the rails, yet it doesn't. Compare this show to Charlie Sheen's new show "Anger Management". Charlie's show also features group therapy, but there's a mean-ness to that show is off putting. Matthew's show has a gentleness that is very appealing.
I already hate Charlie. I want her gone !
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
About Go On, does Kit Kat Lasagna exist? Sounded and looked delicious.
I love Go On! It's my favorite new comedy (and the only show I watch on NBC now). Matthew Perry is doing a great job of straddling the line between silly and serious. And the rest of the group is starting to find their footing which is great, although Mr. K still creeps me out.
Arrow is tonight I believe it is on at 9 and I am panning on watching.
Three comedies that get better with each episode, for me, are Go On, The Mindy Project, and Ben and Kate. Even though Matthew Perry is the star, I prefer watching the other characters. I love all the group members and the only scenes I don't like are the ones with Ryan and Lauren, the group leader, together. I know it's inevitable they'll end up together but I didn't expect the show to start forcing it already.
The first episode of The Mindy Project didn't really sell me, but I gave it another shot and it really does get better with the second and third episode. Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina have good chemistry together.
Ben and Kate is a nice surprise for me since I didn't recognize a single cast member. I didn't expect much, but it's actually a pretty funny show.
Looking forward to Nashville tonight.

I represent a company, called Teacher's Discovery, that sells teaching supplies nationwide. As director of the Elementary Spanish department, I ordered these duckies for consideration as a new reward for young students, and as a set for creation of duck related fiesta games. I got my samples and they are cute little ducks! They are basically just as advertised, except that they don't squirt as well as I hoped, unless you hold them upside down or widen the whole in its beak. But, like I said, they are adorable. If you're looking for a cute party favor, these are a great buy.

Projecting the Twins: Early 2013 ZIPS
by, 11-11-2012 at 10:33 AM (2554 Views)
The early ZIPS projections were reported midweek and the AL Central has sobering information for the Twins.
Note: Unfortunately, you will need an insider account to access the link above.
The Twins in their construction are projected for 66 wins and 5th place in the AL Central. Entering the 2012 season they had a projected 70 win team from ZIPS so in the ZIPS lens the Twins have dropped back some.
Clearly, the poor starting rotation has a significant impact on the performance. Scott Diamond and his poor k/9 ratio is the number 1 starter projected for a 4.85 ERA.
Gleeman and the Geek had an interesting debate last week about indicators and performance. Runs given up is what matters. However runs given up in 2012 is not the best indicator of runs given up in 2013. Strikeout, walk, ground ball and home run rates are better indicators for 2013.
Diamond's indicators and his three year past shows that ZIPS expects a significant regression.
The projections have a hard time even finding a 5th starter listing Duensing but giving him an innings number and projection of a reliever/spot starter. The Twins can gain some ground by replacing Blackburn's and DeVries' projection. Replacing Blackburn and DeVries with league average performance will help significantly. Maybe even 6-8 wins. That only gets them to 74.
The real concern has to be projections for the Twins offense.
Willingham, Doumit, Mauer, Morneau and Span are all projected to regress. Why? All five had a relatively healthy season compared to previous and that can not be expected again. Four of the five are in their 30s. In the steroid era, some players kept their peak performance well into their 30s. That is not likely the case.
ZIPS OPS projections for these 5
Willingham .890 to .819
Mauer .861 to .812
Morneau .773 to .767
Doumit .781 to .722
Span .738 to .700
Morneau's is not a mathematically significant drop, but it also isn't a return to his previous level and mediocre play for a 1B.
ZIPS projections are based on 3-4 years of previous data based on the player's age. The Twins can choose to ignore them. Somehow they need to convince the faithful that they can add three pitchers and all will be OK. It is necessary for ticket sales.
I would suggest that the Twins can not be fixed for 2013. The only long term fix is to repair the minor league system.
How do they turn it around?
1) Sign no one to a multiyear contract that will commit the Twins beyond their age 32 season.
2) Trade off declining assets and build the system. Trading Willingham is a must. He is owed 14 million (2 years). He can not be put in LF any longer. He is unlikely to be more valuable than he is this off season. Someone will take on all 14 million and give the Twins prospects
3) Similarly Morneau has 14 million left over 1 year. The Twins should trade him and "buy" prospects in the form of picking up a significant portion of his contract.
4) Do not offer extensions that commits the Twins to anyone beyond their age 32 season. That means pay Burton his due this year and do not extend him beyond 2013. Hopefully he is a tradeable asset midseason.
5) Does Doumit have any value in a trade? Is it reasonable to think his 2014 season will be anything like his 2012 season?
6) Wait out the free agent season. Although Ryan would disagree, there are plenty of starting pitchers on the market. Some will be left with few suitors The Twins should be able to sign some of them to a 1 year deal. If the deal is one year, age should not be a factor.
It is critical that they no longer sign decline phase players to multiyear contracts. They did it in the 90s with no success. The 1997-1998 teams were among the oldest Twin rosters.
The 2012 roster is comparable to those of 98-99. Doing so will only continue the cycle of mediocrity.
How do they turn it around?
Go young. Build the system.
They did it in 1982. The average batter and pitcher age were both lowest in organization history.
It paid off.
They did it again in 1999. Average batter age dropped 3 years and average pitcher age dropped 2.4 from 1998.
Paid off again.
Can you wait for the pay off? Would you rather be mediocre?
I fear the Twins management doesn't trust the ticket buying public to accept the growing pains of building the system. They will sign decline phase players to multiyear contracts to satisfy the fans and drive ticket sales.
This article will be written again next year as it was last year.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts and opinions on my situation. So one morning I wake up and my right ear is extremly painful. 6 hours later my ear ruptures and fluid begins to leak out. The fluid is a clear color. The next morning my left ear is extremly painful and it too ruptures however the left ear does not drain as much fluid plus the fluid is mostly blood. Now my right ear is beginning to drain very yellow pus like fluid. While my left ear is mainly bloody. I go and see 2 different urgent care doctors that prescribe antibiotics, ear drops, nasal steroid spary as well as oral steroids. The problem is each day when I wake up my hearing is less and less. Its been thr 4th day since the rupture as well as my 4th day of all the medicine and its not gettinv better. If it continues by tomorroe I will not be able to hear anything. Shouldnt my hearing get better each day and not worse? Has anyone had this same experience? Is this typical?
Right ear drains all day long first it was clear now its straight yellow
Left ear drains very little and is bright red blood or pus with blood mixture.
Everyday I wake I lose more of my hearing.
For thr doctors on this board what is your take. What would be the worse case senario?
For the members on this board with similar experience did you regain hearing if so how long did it take. Did you guys also experience more hearing loss each day after the rupture?
Because of the christmas holidays I can not schedule appointment with ent until the 26th. Any help and advicd is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Fluctuating hearing good also be due to several things. The ear canal may be clogged with blood, pus, ear wax, or retained (thick) middle ear fluid. Don't try to clean it out...this should only be done by the ENT, so make that appointment tomorrow.
There is nothing typical when it comes to ears....every person is different, so another person's experience is not likely to be applicable to you.
I think what bothers me the most is not being able to hear and the constant ringing and the sound of my heart/blood pulsating in my head. I will never take my hearing for granted agian.
My urgentcare doctor said in 20 years of practice he has never seen someone my age(29) have such a sudden double eardrum rupture
I have a concern about a ruptured ear drum with an ear infection about 1 1/2 week ago, I am a 40 y.o. male..I drove myself to the ER after clear bloody liquid coming from my left ear during the night. The attending doctor in the ER gave me 875mg of Amox-Clav twice a day for 10 days for mastoiditis..after taking the medication for two days I have tinnitus (very loud ringing).I researched on the internet on one of the sites it said the drug the doctor prescribed (Amox-Clav) can cause tinnitus.I went to the ENT last thursday for follow-up and he gave me Ciprodex ear drops..when i put the drops in my ear,I press down on the soft cartilage part of the ear so it can travel down the ear canal..I can "taste" the medicine going down my throat. Does that mean my ear drum is not healed yet and the medication in entering the inner ear and into my throat? which, I also researched the Ciprodex is another drug that can induce tinnitus? I am worried sick about the tinnitus will never go away...If in fact,my tinnitus is drug induced, will it be less likely that it will go away? i have the link for the website below. I can say that you are heaven sent Dr. Moser...taking the time to hear all the peoples problems when they are so confused during this period of their lives! God bless you!
http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium/tinnitus
Basically my left ear was clogged with pus in front and behind the eardrum, so the ciprodex was not reaching the eardrum or middle ear. So the ENT used some vacuum device to suck out wax and any kind of build up in the ear. He told me that it was just bad luck on my part that my allergies caused bacteria to get up the Eustachian tube and cause a middle ear infection. He told me the my eardrums have very small tears and it should not be anything to worry about. The problem was the blockage in the canal was not letting the medicine get to where it needed to be. Tomorrow morning he will be vacuuming out my ears again and checking to see progress. I will ask him about the tinnitus, because i have the something very loud ringing/frequency that will not stop.
We use Ciprodex almost exclusively when there is an eardrum rupture.I would have to see a lot more definitive studies to believe there is a tinnitus link. The fact that you taste the Ciprodex does indicate that your eardrum rupture is still open.
Of course, I have had tinnitus for 15 years and will most likely have it the rest of my life. I believe mine was a result of damage from an inner ear infection. If there was a cure or a known effective treatment, I would try it, but never be convinced that a cure was even possible. I just live with it. Annoying? Yes, but many things annoy me, so I just add to the list along with rude drivers, noisy gum chewers, and movie talkers.
Don't start thinking you will have tinnitus forever. There is a VERY good chance that yours will resolve in a few more week to a month...as soon as that eardrum heals and the inflammation has resolved.
isn't mastoiditis an inner ear infection?
I too did hours of research on Mastoiditis, its basically an infection of the bone/skull behind the ear. That bone is like a honey comb type texture bone that can get infected and from what i read is hard to treat because the antibiotics have trouble getting deep inside of the bone. Honestly from what you are describing it sounds like a middle ear infection not mastoiditis.
In the past, this was a deal-breaker when it comes to ear infections, often requiring surgery and a lengthy hospital stay. Now, it is typically just hammered with some potent antibiotics, and only rarely, surgery.
And, thank you sincerely for those very kind comments.

Karen Castor-Dentel Backs Bill Allowing Some School Employees to Arm
March 28, 2013 | WMFE- A Florida House bill that would allow some school employees to be armed received a surprise 'yes' vote from Democratic Representative Karen Castor Dentel, as it was approved by a House Education subcommittee. Castor Dentel, a Maitland teacher, says she walked into Wednesday's K-through-12 subcommittee meeting ready to oppose the measure but the details of the bill changed her mind.
[Image: Karen Castor-Dentel]
Castor Dentel says she won't go along with any school safety legislation that makes a classroom sound like the Wild West. Republican Representative Greg Steube's measure is different.
"This isn't the 'let's just arm all the teachers' bill. He had a much more nuanced bill," Castor-Dentel says.
She says Steube's bill would give a school's principal the option to designate a staff member or members to get a concealed permit and go through lengthy training and background checks. The weapon would be carried hidden at all times.
"They likened it to kind of like an air marshal on a plane," she says.
"And I can see that in an instance where they don't have a security officer on a campus. There is that level of protection."
Ideally, Castor Dentel would like every school to have a resource officer and other reliable security measures in place. But she says Steube's bill is a responsible option to try to keep kids safe – especially at rural Florida schools where the nearest police station may be 10 or 15 minutes away.
The bill still has 3 more legislative panels to pass.

After all, up until as late as the early 1900s, Mormon settlement dominated the state population and practically controlled what went on within its borders. After its induction into the official U.S. "Union" in 1896, a greater non-Mormon population started to grow within Utah. Today, the state has a lot to offer both residents and visitors. Utah has its own professional sports team, the Utah Jazz of the NBA, who play their home games in the EnergySolutions arena in Salt Lake City. It also has a wide variety of parks and ski resorts that beckon to the outdoor minded, making tourism an important part of the Utah state economy. While Mormon practice continues to influence the state culture, Utah has become very much a part of America's landscape, a popular destination for many who are exploring the American West. Anyone looking to spend significant time in Utah will be looking for transportation to get around this somewhat remote state. If you're looking for a used car or truck in the state of Utah, consider taking a look at the tools available to you on CarsDirect. This online pricing and auto guide site will help locate the best deals around Salt Lake City, Provo and other Utah mega-cities, as well as more rural parts of the state, for exploring its unique natural beauty.

A graduation ceremony was held for the second group of students in Bahrain who received certificates in professional qualifications through Tamkeen's Accountancy, Finance and Islamic Finance programmes, including ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Former ACCA president Dean Westcott and Tamkeen Chief Executive Mahmood Hashem Al-Kooheji attended the ceremony, held at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel.
The Ernst & Young Training Centre, which offers Tamkeen's programmes, has enrolled more than 700 Bahraini applicants to the programme to date, with 135 having completed their course to date, including 80 graduates of the Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) suite of ACCA awards, and 32 in the ACCA qualification.
Commenting on the occasion, Tamkeen's Chief Executive Mr. Mahmood Hashem Al Kooheji said,: 'Bahrain's highly skilled human capital is a key competitive advantage that has long underpinned the kingdom's position as an attractive investment destination. Our leadership is committed to continue investing in our human capital through such initiatives to maintain this leading position and fuel future economic growth.'
Launched in October 2007 as part of Tamkeen's objective of up-skilling Bahrainis and enhancing their employability, the programme seeks to enable around 800 Bahrainis to pursue accredited professional qualifications to pursue or accelerate their career in the field of accountancy and finance.
Dean Westcott said: 'It is great to see our second round of students graduate from this programme. These graduates will be a vital asset to the country's financial development and to its surrounding neighbours.'
'Bahrain is transforming itself into a place for foreign investment, and with programmes such as Tamkeen's, as well as the government and private sector involvement, finance professionals all over the region will be beneficial to the global economy,' Westcott added.
New ACCA graduate, Mazen Al-Kooheji, said: 'The ACCA qualification helped sharpen my skills in many areas that are applicable to my current job role, like cashflow management, project management and finance decision-making. The difference it can make towards adding value in my job role has got me good feedback from my line manager. I feel I am adding value to my employer with my new skills. This will vertically help my career within the company and have a positive impact on future prospects.'
To date, more than 77,000 Bahraini individuals and enterprises in Bahrain have benefited from Tamkeen programmes to date, and the total number is expected to rise to more than 150,000.

|Gordon Benton Foss
|Written by TRF Times
Roseau - Gordon Benton Foss passed away on Monday, Nov. 12, 2012 at the LifeCare Roseau Manor at the age of 88.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Nov. 17 at Helgeson Funeral Home in Roseau. Interment was held at the Northwood Cemetery in Moose River area of Grygla. Military Honors were provided by the Grygla American Legion.
Gordon was born on April 2, 1924 in Grygla, to Selma (Anderson) and Alfred M. Foss. After his schooling, he entered the U.S. Navy in April of 1942 and served during World War II until his honorable discharge in December of 1943. He served on the aircraft carrier, Cape Esperance. He and Thelma Ostlund were married on Dec. 22, 1945. They lived on a dairy farm in Northwood Township in the Moose River area except one year in the mid-50s, when he worked as a logger in Wilsall, Mont.
A man of faith, from the 1950s until 2011, he was an active member and trustee of Liberty Chapel in Grygla. He also served on the board of Sand Hill Bible Camp. In the early-60s, he designed and built one of Minnesota's most advanced, free stall dairy barns. He served on the Grygla Farmers Union board and the Soil Conservation board for many years. He became well-known in Minnesota in the mid-70s when he asked the DNR to deal with the elk herd that was eating and ruining his oats field. When they failed to act on his repeated requests, he shot five of the elk and called the DNR to report his action. After his arrest, he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers who decided he had the right to defend his property.
In his late-70s, he discovered diamond willows growing on and near his farm. He began creating beautiful furniture using diamond willows which he sold through a website www.diamondwillows.com and at craft shows, a hobby that he very much enjoyed.
Gordon is survived by his children, Ronald (Joyce) of Baudette, Marvin (Helen) of Grygla, Richard (Sarah) of Princeton, Ill., David (Yadira) of Germany, Debra Dahl of Duluth, Mark (Elena) of Denver, Colo., Timothy (Jean) of Grygla, Steven (Alanna) of Grygla, Gary (Melanie) of Perham; and Kathryn Foss of Hibbing; 30 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Bad things can happen in a dark alley.
In low-crime Durango, the danger might not be so much muggers lurking in the dark of night, but the black ice that threatens in the light of day.
Midday on Jan. 9, Durango police officer Greg Dodd found a 37-year-old male tourist who had slipped and fallen in the alley by the Abbey Theatre.
"You know how ice builds up and gets old? It's literally dark black. That's what he slipped on. His feet just went straight out from under him. It turned his ankle over," Dodd said.
"He was complaining of ankle pain. The (emergency medical technicians) cut his shoelaces to get his boot off. It didn't look pretty, I can tell you that," Dodd said.
Some complain the city has fallen into the dangerous rut of not maintaining alleys in the winter, but officials respond that they have tried everything and are open to suggestions. There is just no obvious solution to getting at ice and snow in the narrow and congested alleys.
Taylor Folmar, a server at Randy's Prime Rib, Seafood and Steak, said he frequently sees people take a "quick slip" in the Abbey Theatre alley near College Drive and Main Avenue.
"It's been an issue for years. I would say it gets ignored," Folmar said. "It's tough for all these businesses taking out recycling and trash. Delivery drivers, I see, have problems (getting around) with the dollies."
Doug Boykin, owner of Incognito hair salon, located in the alley between Main and Second avenues, contends the city has not plowed his alley in four years. Officials, however, respond that alleys do get plowed but are not a priority on a heavy snow day.
Boykin thinks the city has only "sanded it once when the ice ruts were 10 inches deep from (semitrailers). If it wasn't for one of the neighbors plowing the alley, there would be nothing but ice out there."
One of his clients, Daren Caldwell, owner of Access Wireless, 822 Main Ave., slipped and broke his ankle outside Incognito two years ago.
Caldwell said he was "walking down the alley, hands in pockets, (when) I essentially slipped in a rut. I spun around, but my foot did not. I tore every ligament and tendon in my ankle and broke my ankle in two places."
"It was bad," he said. "I never felt anything like it. I was going into shock, too. I was pale white and nauseous. It was not pretty. I laid there for 10 minutes, I was in excruciating pain. I could not get up. It was that bad."
Caldwell, however, is not unsympathetic toward the city. He wonders where the city could plow an alley's snow without blocking business entrances in the process.
When a foot of snow falls into an alley that is 20 feet wide and 300 feet long, that's a "lot of snow" to remove, City Manager Ron LeBlanc said.
"You almost have to put a loader in there and haul it out, which is almost impossible because you have gas meters, electric meters. You have parking, Dumpsters, recycling bins. It's narrow."
"There's no good option," he said.
Low-hanging utility lines make it impractical to drive a loading truck into the alley because it would not be able to scoop up snow without hitting the wires, LeBlanc said.
So the city typically plows the snow to one side of the alley, alternating the sides after every snowfall, LeBlanc said.
"We get complaints from both sides," he said.
Because delivery trucks will make runs as early as 3 a.m., the snow will get packed down, and "we're just scraping off the top," he said.
LeBlanc said the city wants to work with people. It will haul away people's snow, for example, if they coordinate ahead of time.
The city "might be bringing the loader through at 3 a.m.," LeBlanc said. "If you can get (the snow) to (an accessible space), we'll take it away for you."
Otherwise, alleys are fourth on the city's priority list for plowing on a regular snow day, said Levi Lloyd, the city's director of streets.
"We do try to get to alleys on storm days. It's just that accumulation is the determining factor," Lloyd said.
"If there is snowfall for two or three days, sometimes the alleys and residential streets get dropped so we can concentrate on the collectors and arterials – the streets that service the most people and are the designated routes for getting around town. (But) it's pretty rare we drop residential streets."
Because the city's solid waste and recycling department must make pickups from alleys, it has its own plow, but its goal is just to make the alleys passable, LeBlanc said.
"Even though pedestrians use the alleys, we think pedestrians have an alternative, which is the sidewalk," LeBlanc said.
"There's no other choice for the deliveries," he said. "Many of the alleys are substandard or unpaved, so plowing is problematic."
Boykin said the city needs to find a solution.
"We live in a mountain town," Boykin said. "You need to move the snow."
