Pesahim 99a-b - Additional seder night obligations
Following several chapters that deal with the Passover sacrifice, the tenth perek (chapter) of Massekhet Pesahim returns to the holiday itself – specifically to the seder that takes place on the eve of the 15th of Nisan. In fact, early manuscripts of the massekhet have this perek appearing immediately after the discussion of hametz and matza that are the concern of the first four chapters, closing what is referred to as Pesah rishon – the first set of rules of the Passover holiday (the second set of rules being those that deal with the sacrifice). Aside from the basic biblical commandments that make up the seder, such as eating the korban Pesah together with matza and marror, discussing the exodus story, etc., the Sages added other commandments, such as drinking four cups of wine and dining in a manner that befits an honorable, free man. Similarly, we are instructed to behave in a manner that will encourage children to ask their parents about the curious behaviors of the meal, in order to allow for discussion of the exodus from Egypt and its miracles.
These issues are the topic of perek Arvei Pesahim, which begins on our daf (page).
The first Mishnah in the perek teaches that every person is obligated to drink four cups of wine, even if he needs to accept charity in order to do so.
The Rashbam points out the source for this Rabbinic enactment. When God first turns to Moshe and promises to takes the Jewish People out of Egypt, He makes use of four different terms that describe the redemption (see Shmot 6:6-7) –
Ve-hotzeti – and I will bring them out
Ve-hitzalti – and I will deliver them
Ve-ga'alti – and I will redeem them
Ve-lakahti – and I will take them to me as a people.
The Me'iri explains the unique significance of each term as follows:
Ve-hotzeti – I will bring them out from the difficult activities that are forced upon them as slaves.
Ve-hitzalti –I will deliver them out of the physical bondage of belonging to a master
Ve-ga'alti – I will redeem them by smiting their enemies and making them free men
Ve-lakahti – I will take them to me as a people by giving them the Torah.
Other reasons for the four cups of wine are mentioned by the Yerushalmi.
Pesahim 100a-b - Stopping a meal to welcome a holiday
One of the first laws taught in this perek (chapter) deals with eating a meal on erev Pesah. The Mishnah rules that a person is not supposed to involve himself in a meal in the afternoon of erev Pesah. The Gemara points out that this rule is true for Shabbat and other holidays, as well. What if a person began the meal when he was permitted to do so, and it extended until it was time for Shabbat or the holiday to begin? Here we find two opinions in a baraita – according to Rabbi Yehuda you must end your meal in order to stop and welcome Shabbat; Rabbi Yosei rules that you can continue your meal.
Rav Yehuda quotes Shmuel as ruling that we follow neither Rabbi Yehuda nor Rabbi Yosei, rather a person in that situation should cover the bread with a cloth, and make Kiddush. The Rashbam is concerned that Shmuel, an amora, cannot disagree with both the tanna'im who have offered halakhic opinions on this matter. He suggests that Shmuel really does accept Rabbi Yosei's position, and is merely recommending a stringency – that one should not ignore the arrival of Shabbat and continue eating, rather he should acknowledge Shabbat by introducing Kiddush into the meal.
Most of the commentaries explain that covering the bread symbolically ends the Friday afternoon meal allowing a "new" meal to begin with the recitation of Kiddush. After Kiddush the meal – which has now become a Shabbat meal – is resumed.
Some of the Ge'onim explain the idea of covering the bread as being connected with the need to make Kiddush over a cup of wine. The Gemara in Berakhot teaches that the blessing over bread always precedes the blessing over wine. Covering the bread allows the blessing over the wine to be made without concern for the rules of precedence, since only the wine is readily available. According to this approach, covering the bread is appropriate not only for our unique case, but for all Shabbat meals. The other reason given for this custom is in commemoration of the Manna, that was covered both above and below by dew (see Shmot 16)
Pesahim 101a-b - Reciting Friday night Kiddush in the synagogue
In the course of the Gemara's discussion of Kiddush, one of the traditions mentioned is that some communities make Kiddush in the synagogue on the eve of Shabbat.
The Gemara asks: ...why do I need to recite kiddush in the synagogue at all, if one does not fulfill his obligation with that kiddush? The Gemara answers: The purpose of kiddush in the synagogue is to fulfill the obligations of the guests who eat and drink and sleep in the synagogue. Since these visitors are staying in the synagogue for Shabbat, they must hear kiddush there.
The rishonim ask how guests could be housed and fed in the synagogue, when the holiness of batei Knesset (synagogues) should forbid such use. Several answers are suggested:
- The Gemara is referring specifically to synagogues in Bavel (or other places outside of Israel) where the batei Knesset do not have a full level of kedushah.
- Perhaps the guests were Torah scholars, who are permitted to make use of a synagogue for purposes other than prayer and study because the bet Knesset is considered to be like their home.
- Some suggest that any poor person or traveler with no place to stay will be granted the status of a Torah scholar with regard to their rules.
- Finally, it is possible that certain synagogues were originally built on the condition that they could be used for such purposes.
In many communities there is still a tradition to make Kiddush on Friday night in the synagogue, even if there are no guests. Whether this is appropriate was a question presented to the Ge'onim. Rav Hai Ga'on ruled that if there are no guests, Kiddush should not be recited. Other Ge'onim argue that Kiddush should be made in the synagogue in any case, either on behalf of those congregants who do not have wine at home, or because there is a spiritual, healing aspect of the synagogue Kiddush beyond the simple obligation to fulfill the mitzvah of welcoming the Shabbat around the meal.
According to the ruling of the Shulhan Arukh (Orah Hayyim 269:1), if Kiddush is made in the synagogue, the cup should be given to one of the children to drink, since it would be inappropriate to drink the Kiddush wine without eating a meal. In Israel the tradition is that Kiddush is not recited in the bet Knesset.
Pesahim 102a-b - Bundling of mitzvot
As we have already learned (see Pesahim 100), Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Yosei differ on how to deal with a situation where a Friday afternoon meal continues into Shabbat. According to Rabbi Yehuda you must end your meal in order to stop and welcome Shabbat; Rabbi Yosei rules that you can continue your meal.
The discussion on our daf (page) relates to the cups of wine that must be drunk to close the meal and to welcome the Shabbat. According to the baraita we will need two separate cups of wine, a ruling explained by Rav Nahman bar Yitzhak as stemming from the principle ein osin mitzvot havilot havilot - that we do not perform mitzvot "in bundles." The idea is that every mitzvah deserves its own focus, and if we try to perform several mitzvot with the same cup of wine it will be impossible to focus on each mitzvah separately. A similar idea is ein me'arvin simha be-simha - that we do not combine two joyous occasions (e.g. to have a wedding during Pesah or Sukkot), because each one deserves its own focus.
The Gemara distinguishes between a case where we want to combine Kiddush together with birkat ha-Mazon (Grace after meals), when this rule would apply, and a case where we need to combine Kiddush and havdalah (the separation service after Shabbat or Yom Tov), like when one of the holidays (Pesah, Shavu'ot or Sukkot) falls out on Saturday night and we need to make havdalah to commemorate the end of Shabbat and Kiddush to usher in the holiday. In such a case, the Gemara rules that it would be appropriate to use one cup for both ceremonies, since Kiddush ve-havdalah hada milta he - the ceremonies of Kiddush and havdalah are one and the same, while Kiddush and birkat ha-Mazon are two different things.
In explanation of this statement, some rishonim argue that Kiddush and havdalah are similar in that they introduce a meal, while birkat ha-Mazon ends the meal. Others point out that havdalah contains an aspect of Kiddush in that it serves to emphasize the uniqueness of Shabbat in distinguishing between Shabbat and the weekday. Another suggestion that is raised is that, in this case, Kiddush and havdalah are actually dependent on one another, since the holiday cannot begin until Shabbat ends. When we announce that Shabbat is over, we effectively welcome the holiday; when we welcome the holiday we are calling for an end to Shabbat. Birkat ha-mazon has no such relationship with Kiddush at all.
Pesahim 103a-b - Combining Kiddush with havdalah
As we learned in the last daf (page), when Yom Tov begins on Saturday night we combine the havdalah that ends Shabbat with the Kiddush that begins Yom Tov over a single cup of wine. The discussion on our daf deals with the order of the various berakhot that will make up this combination of Kiddush and havdalah. When will the blessing be made over the wine? Over the candle? Over the spices?
There are certain basic differences of opinion that form the basis for the variety of opinions that we find regarding this issue. Among the disagreements are the following:
- Which should be recited first - Kiddush or havdalah?
- What is the relationship between the wine and the mitzvah of Kiddush (i.e. does the blessing over the wine come before or after the Kiddush)?
- When should the blessing over the candle be made? Can it only be made after havdalah, or, perhaps, it can be made beforehand?
It is the combination of these positions that give us a wide variety of opinions about appropriate behavior in this situation.
Rabbi Yehuda explains a disagreement between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel on this subject as relating to the order of the blessings made over the candle and the spices during havdalah. According to Beit Shammai we first make the blessing over the candle. According to Beit Hillel we first make the blessing over the spices. One explanation for the different positions is that Beit Shammai believes that one derives benefit from light at the moment that the candle is lit. Furthermore, the sense of sight is more essential and important that the sense of smell. Beit Hillel, on the other hand, perceives the sense of smell to be similar to taste, in that both of them involve a sensation based on a substance entering the body. With this understanding, it makes sense to connect the blessing over the spices (smell) with the blessing over the wine (taste).
Pesahim 104a-b - Distinctions between holy and profane
The standard text of havdalah includes not only a statement formally acknowledging that Shabbat or Yom Tov has ended, but also a series of distinctions - of things that stand in contrast to one another. This tradition stems from the statement of Rabbi Elazar quoting Rabbi Oshaya that at least three such distinctions are to be included in the havdalah blessing, but no more than seven. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi comments that ideally the model of the havdalah blessing should be distinctions made in the Torah itself.
Although the Gemara does include examples of Biblical distinctions (e.g. between holy and profane, between light and darkness, between Shabbat - the day of rest - and the six working days of the week), it is interesting that one of the most basic statements in the Torah is left out. In Shmot 26:33, the Torah teaches that when building the Mishkan, there is a parohet that separates between the Holy and the Holy-of-Holies. Some argue that the parohet is a man-made object that divided the Mishkan. In havdalah we are searching for distinctions that were developed by God himself. Others point out that the separation of the parohet no longer exists, as opposed to the other examples, which are eternal. Perhaps the simplest explanation is the one put forward by the Me'iri, who argues that the statement of distinction made when a Yom Tov falls out immediately after Shabbat - bein kodesh le-kodesh ("between holy and holy") - stems from the separation of the parohet in the Mishkan, which is the source for the concept of distinguishing between two levels of holiness
This discussion notwithstanding, the Gemara quotes Rabbi Yohanan as saying:
The son of sacred ones recites only one distinction, but the people were accustomed to recite three distinctions. The Gemara asks: Who is this person called the son of sacred ones? The Gemara answers: Rabbi Menahem bar Simai. And why did they call him the son of sacred ones? Because he would not look at the forms on coins [zuz].
Many of the coins minted by the Greeks and Romans included images of actual idols, which would, therefore, make them forbidden like any manifestation of avodah zarah. It should be noted, however, that the images of Greek and Roman kings that appeared on the coins also were problematic in that the kings often presented themselves as gods - at least to the provincial folk.
Pesahim 105a-b - Establishing Shabbat
As we have learned before, if someone is eating a meal on Friday and the meal extends into Shabbat, we do not need to end the meal entirely; rather we can cover the bread and make Kiddush. Our Gemara discusses the case of someone who is eating the third Shabbat meal and it extends after Shabbat is over. To clarify these halakhot, the Gemara tells a story about such cases and the behavior of the Sages when faced with these circumstances.
Rav Hananya bar Shelemya and other students of Rav were sitting at a meal on Shabbat eve shortly before nightfall, and Rav Hamnuna the Elder was standing over them to serve them. They said to him: Go and see if the day of Shabbat has become sanctified through nightfall. If so, we will interrupt our meal by removing the tables and establish its continuation as the meal for Shabbat. Rav Hamnuna the Elder said to them: You do not need to do this, as Shabbat establishes itself. Whatever you eat after nightfall is automatically considered a Shabbat meal, even without any specific action that designates it as such.
They all thought that this same rule would apply to the end of Shabbat, as well, but when it came to late afternoon on Shabbat, Rav Amram told them that Shabbat establishes itself with regard to Kiddush, but not with regard to havdalah.
There are several approaches to the rule introduced by Rav Hamnuna the Elder, that "Shabbat establishes itself." The Ba'al ha-Ma'or (Rav Zerahia ha-Levi) explains that they had sent Rav Hamnuna the Elder to check whether sundown had taken place, and he responded that Shabbat would not actually begin until the stars came out. The Rif argues that it was already dark and they asked whether the stars had come out. Rav Hamnuna the Elder told them that they had missed their opportunity to accept Shabbat, since Shabbat already had begun and had imposed itself on everyone, whether they had chosen to acknowledge it in their Kiddush or not.
As far as the halakhah is concerned, the Shulhan Arukh (Orah Hayyim 271:4) rules that a Friday afternoon meal can be turned into a Shabbat meal by covering the bread and making Kiddush. With regard to havdalah, once Shabbat ends nothing can be eaten until after havdalah is made. If, however, someone was already in the middle of a Shabbat meal the common practice is to finish the meal, although there are opinions that, once it is totally dark outside, a person should end his meal (Orah Hayyim 299:1).

Getting bait shad in winter is not as hard some think. So you can get bait easily for those big Blue Cats that are coming shallow to feed during the winter. Why are the catfish so shallow in the winter you ask? When a cold front comes through, the shad that are caught in the shallow water die and the catfish are there as the clean up crew. Find windblown banks in the winter and you will find some huge cats lurking around.
Just look to the creeks to fill a cooler of fresh bait. Shad have a death sentence on their heads in the winter. Around 41-42 degrees, their bodies start shutting down and they start to die off if they are are caught shallow. Most of the shad this time of year go deep, or, they swim up creeks. Creeks are shallow, full of people, dark clay mud, rocks and concrete. Therefore retaining heat better than deeper water. The creek can be up to 10-15 degrees warmer than the main lake. The shad feel and sense the warmth and swim up the creeks by the millions. With such big schools moving up the mouths of the creeks and swimming very far upstream, the game fish will follow.
Shad dont do well as frozen bait and turn mushy. So go to the creek and harvest what you need for the next 2 days. The shad will be in the same spots all winter. No need to freeze anything! You have free bait shops all over the place!
Here's a short video of shad balled up in a creek. Look close ( Sorry about the surface glare. My camera guy was not with me and my camera does not have a polarized filter on it).
Here is another video of cast-netting for the shad. I looks easy because it is.
Behind me in the video, is a deeper pool. Below is what Tiffany caught out of that pool. We are at White Rock Lake Creek in the heart of Downtown Dallas. You can hear the cars above me on Mockingbird Lane.

This instructable is based on my knowledge of water rockets, that I have learn in the past few years.
I am not responsible for any damage you infict on your self or others from launching or building water rockets
Have fun building and flying!
Step 1: Lets get Started
If you took a standard two litre fizzy soft drink bottle and pressurised it to120 psi the rocket would reach about 100 or so feet.
But then if you took 2, two litres bottles and pressurised it to 120 psi again the rocket would go about 150 feet or so because the rocket has more air in it therefore creating more thrust. The rocket will only go 50 feet more because of the added mass. You can stop this by making a two stage rocket. A two stage rocket will work better because it would not have to carry the full payload on all of its flight.
Step 2: How to build a fins and nose cones
This step is to get to grips on what a rocket needs.
Step 1: nose cone
cut the top and bottom off a 1.25 litre bottle. Then cut the neck off the top.
Step 3: Step 2: Nose cone
Cut a ping pong ball in half with a craft knife,
Then glue half of the ping pong ball into the top of the 1.25 litre bottle 'top'.
Use a Plastic adhesive glue, Or if apperance doesn't matter you could just tape it on!
Step 4: Step 3: Nosecone
Adding wieght to the nose cone may help, It will move the centre of gravity higher, thus being more stable.
1-40 of 90 | Next » |
i used the 2 bottle design and i used gorilla glue (which is stronger than hot glue). the thing reached 15 to 20 feet in the air and the reason for this failure was my choice of glue. the glue expanded like it is designed to BUT this glue is not a good adhesive for the plastic in the bottles.
i can see the potential if i just follow instructions (this was a problem for me growing up). i always think i can improve the process, but once again i am wrong. but my daughter had an awesome time, i had a great time, and we got the whole family together for the launch so the project was still an overall success. i will be building bigger and better in the near future.
thanks for the great instructable oscarthompson!
How can i do for fill the boosters?
do i have to put their a valvle each?
and are the boosters gonig to fall down?
if yeah how will i do it ?
thanks for the ideas.
The boosters will fall down when the thrust of the booster can no longer beat the air resistance thus gravity pulling the booster down.
This can be achieved by making three of the launch mechanism's just on one Pad ( two for boosters one for main)
we need to know the materials list for everything SO WE CAN DO THE PROJECT...
For the launcher you will need;
qty part
1 1/2 inch wood (any type)
2 10mm bolts
1 10mm metal drillbit
1 10mm wood drillbit
6 10mm nuts and washers
1 presta bike valve (you can get this from an old inner tube)
1 rubber bung
1 bike pump
2 tent pegs
4 L brackets
1 mending plate
2 nails
For rockets you will need;
corex (corregated plastic)
pl premuim or another pressure rated strong adhesive
ping pong balls
1.25 l bottles
For parachute mechanism;
You can use my nose cone drop of deployment or a tomy timer release mechansim avible with the link.
For the tomy timer release mec you will need;
Tomy timer (wind up toy)
plastic or synthetic fabric
rubber band(s)
For the staging (which would be advised to be not for biggerners)
22mm pipe
basla or ply wood
m4 bolts
tomy timer or servo
Thats about it, But how long do you have to do this?
And if your just biggening water rockets I would advise you to not do multi stage or drop away booster rockets.

Bacterial Vaginosis--or--embarrassing bad smell |

Good afternoon everyone,
I found a doctor's list of herbal treatments for BV. I haven't heard of half of that crap, nor do I know how much or how often to use. It wasn't listed, so I know they aren't trying to sell it. lol. Geranium, althea, echinacea, hydrastis, usnea. I will look later tonight (elsewhere) and see if I can find the dosing and amounts that should be tried. It might help, might not. If anyone wants to read the article it was by Dr. David K. Shefrin. It had some suggestions for hormonal vaginosis too. |

As a side note, I came to this board to share my own experiences with BV and was looking for a safe, supportive environment. I'm not interested in being exposed to the "mud-slinging" that emerged in the last few posts. Lori, I think it would serve you well to explore how you are engaging with other members on this forum. Your last few posts have an aggressive tone and in certain cases, "minimize" other member's experiences with BV, such as mine. Thanks for answering my question about the Bio-K, SFgirl. I hope you don't think that I was belittling anything you said. You have to admit that BV triggering IBS sounds pretty uncommon - so my comment was one of pure surprise, but not skepticism. And I appreciate that you shared it, because it may help others who might deal with the same symptoms. I think this is one of those times I failed to accurately communicate my tone on the net. As for me. I know I'm a bitch, I'll admit it. And there's days that I just don't feel like answering the same questions over and over and over again, so I will say READ THE FRICKEN BOARD. If you're tired of answering questions, it would probably better if you just ignored them. Right? Sassy, I have read most of the thread, so I know there are spammers and hucksters to deal with. But I don't think we should abuse newbies without knowing who they are first. A lot of newbies are not spammers, but bona fide BV sufferers. Anyway, I'm not looking to start a fight with anyone. I just thought there was bit of unwarranted rudeness towards newbies going on. But it won't happen anymore, so I'm done. -------------------- |

Hi Lori,
I'm not able to find the information you requested on the Bio-K web site. If you explore the site further, look into the Clinical Studies section. The link titled "Other Therapeutic Applications of Probiotics" addresses other uses. If you're interested in clinical studies on the effects of probiotics on vaginosis, Google "probiotics vaginosis." As a side note, I came to this board to share my own experiences with BV and was looking for a safe, supportive environment.

Look Lori, I've been on the board for going on two years now. WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE of people coming on, spamming, and starting shit for all that time.
Like I said, I wasn't trying to start anything by asking you that question. I was just wondering? You are extremely knowlegable in the things you say, WHICH WAS A COMPLIMENT, but, you didn't take it that way. Either way I could care less. As for me. I know I'm a bitch, I'll admit it. And there's days that I just don't feel like answering the same questions over and over and over again, so I will say READ THE FRICKEN BOARD. Unlike you, I don't have time to respond to EVERY message that is put on here, nor do I want to have time to answer every question. B.V. is a pain in my life. Not something that gives me joy. I'm on this board to find answers. Just like we all are. And for a place to vent, just like we all are. IF I'VE EVER COME OFF CONDESENDING, THEN I APOLOGIZE to those who feel that way. BVGIRL - I insert this at night, right before I go to bed. When I get up in the morning, it does not come running out, if that's what you are asking. NOTHING LIKE THE BORIC ACID. But eventually sometime throughout the day, you might get a little discharge, but nothing major. Not even enough to wear a pantyliner. THANKS SASSY! Good luck everyone... |

Lori--I just want to say a little something to defend jewels. While I haven't posted lately, jewels and I have been on here since this thread was only about 2 pages. I think we, and some others, have both developed a fair amount of skepticism to anyone on here that is new. Since we've been here there has been at least one or two run-ins with people promoting products and not really suffering from BV, and there was one case where a holistic doctor type person posted CONSTANTLY on here and didn't even have BV or really know how to treat it. There are other girls who post clearly incorrect information and then people who refuse to somewhat read the thread before posting and therefore repeat a lot of information over and over again. I also think she jokes around a lot, which is hard to interpret on a message board, and you took her jokes out of context in one of your recent posts. Ultimately, we are on the right track with the BV blog so hopefully we can eliminate a lot of these problems. We are all trying to find an answer and SHOULD be on eachother's side.

Oh by the way, when you insert the flagyl pill does it dissolve quickly inside or does it take time?

Here is what I did the first time. Inserted 1 500mg at night. Inserted a second one the next night, had sex the third night, inserted another one the following night, AND MY VAGINA ALMOST STARTED ON FIRE!!!!!! So, here is what I suggest you do, because it's what I did. I inserted 1 500 mg first night, then another one the second night. Then left it alone. About 2 days later, I do the whiff test...and it was gone. After that, I could have sex. So, I would actually wait at least 2 days after the last dose, just to be on the safe side. Another conclusion, I don't have sex very often any more, because boyfriend and I are on again off again, so when I do have sex, I use a flagyl the following evening. If you are having sex more often, you might want to becarefull with that, only because too much use of it, will cause a yeast infection. Nothing that an over the counter Monistat won't help with, but, still, you know yeast infections, they are not fun!! I can't remember where I bought it, because it's been so long, but here's a website I have in my favorites. http://www.horizondrugs.com/flagyl.html If this doesn't work, just type in Buy Flagyl Online. And you should find it!! Please let me know how it works for you!!! I BUY IT ONLINE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE. SO I DON'T WANT TO PAY AT THE DOCTOR AND AT THE PHARMACY. AND NO, IT'S NOT $100, I THINK IT COST ME $35?? CAN'T REMEMBER Thank you for responding so quickly.. I will bookmark the website. Thanks -------------------- BVGIRL

LORI - ARE YOU A DOCTOR?? Because I have to agree a bit with Morpia. You do come across a bit condensending. That is hilarious coming from you Jewels! Let's see, you recently told someone "I don't want to hear about your drug problems!" And then you told off another newbie, "Read the whole thread before you ask questions!" And then you told another user, "Your suggestion is bad!" And you accuse me of being condescending? Like, you know more then we do?? PLEASE DON'T START ANY SHIT WITH THIS, I was just making an observation. I was shocked when I came on tonight and how many posts we had today. DOESN'T ANYBODY FRICKEN WORK??? hahahahah. We got a bunch of newbies today, and at least one had an awesome suggestion that really might help someone out there.(Thanks SFgirl!) I happen to think that is great. Why do you have a problem with that? It would be nice if YOU would NOT try to start shit, while you are asking people to not start shit ... Before you know it, you'll be right up with us, bitching at the new comers!!! I just don't understand why anyone wants to bitch at newcomers. -------------------- |

MORPHIA...So glad to see you back!! I wanted to apologize for coming on so strong...however, we all are pretty stressed out with this shit. For most of us, we've been on this board, dealing with it for years, and when someone new comes in, it's like "Well, welcome to our fricken world"!
Don't stress girl. That's all I can tell you. I know you have a hard time with it, but it really isn't helping your situation. There is HOPE at the end of the fish heads!! Just be patient.

Especially since its next to impossible to recolonize ANYTHING with the good, friendly bacteria. I don't think that's necessarily true. Bacteria is a living organism and it reproduces. Doesn't happen fast enough, unfortunately, but it's not impossible. Once again, I think probiotics is the best solution we've got to help it along. While you SEEM harsh, what you've said is actually more comforting than anything. Thank you. You're welcome. Consider it a slap across your face, because GIRL. YOU. WERE. FREAKING. OUT. But seriously, aren't you going to your doctor this week? I'm sorry you're feeling pain, but I already gave you a suggestion for that, and you won't do it. So ... here's what I think you should do. STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR VAGINA. I know it's hard because it's burning and everything, but just don't think about it before the appointment. The more you think about it, the more you obsess, and the more you go on crazy freak-outs. It's totally useless, because there's nothing you can do until you see your doctor. Think about shopping. Or watch a good movie. Give yourself a makeover. I don't know what relaxes you, but you know what I mean. If you absolutely can't stop thinking about it, as bvgirl suggested, type out all your concerns and questions so you can bring it with you when you go to your dr's appointment. -------------------- |

Clindesse is a vaginal cream. And if you were in the same kind of pain that I'm in most of the time you'd be afraid too. That Clindesse probably wiped out what little lactobacilli I had left in my vagina after all that Augmentin and Amoxicillin I took. So, yes. I do think this is something to be freaked out about. Especially since its next to impossible to recolonize ANYTHING with the good, friendly bacteria. I'm sure you don't mean to be harsh, but I feel like you're belittling my fear. This is why I hate forums. Its impossible to tell real emotion. Just know that I'm not jumping on you. While you SEEM harsh, what you've said is actually more comforting than anything. Thank you. And I know I'm probably going over board. But if I didn't come here and go over the top and let it all out, I'd empty my bank account on online purchases. lol. I've already scarfed down an ass load of sugar (which only made me feel like shit.) I have no coping skills.

SFgirl -
Those symptoms (IBS and BV) were comorbid. My doctor felt the overgrowth of bacteria triggered IBS. Well, that's definitely a new one. In any case, I too believe probiotics are probably the best solution - both for the intestine troubles and the recurrent BV. Where do you buy your Bio-K? Also, can you point me to the Bio-K site where it says that the live bacteria (68%?) ends up in the vaginal tract? I've been reading it, but just can't find it. (All they talk about are the intestines.) -------------------- |

Ok, I know I said I wasn't coming back but I can't leave. I'm terrified right now. Welcome back, Morphia. You need to calm down! The vaginosis.com dude (I've read that site before) is just ONE source. And he sells shit on his site, so he comes off to me like a huckster, and I find some of his claims dubious. And besides, all he's saying is that one-dose treatments like Clindesse is not as effective. As far as the resistant bacteria - it just means you may be resistant to future clindamycin treatment. Clindamycin is basically a stronger, broad spectrum antibiotic which sort of kills everything in sight, which is why flagyl is the first line of defense for BV. So there are more antibiotic-associated side effects with clindamycin, such as the C. difficile infection (which I talked about already on this page). A bad C. difficile infection makes you poop blood and even kill you, but it is treatable, too. So if you don't have it, you will be fine. How many times have you used Clindesse? Unless you used it twice in 90 days (according to this guy), you probably have nothing to worry about. Your body isn't screwed up forever, so you need to calm down. So next time, read the whole site (vaginosis.com) before freaking out. Yes, he said Clindesse shouldn't be prescribed, and he even bolded it. But if you read through the specific reasons, you'll see that it's NO BIG DEAL: - may not be as effective (yes, this sucks, but it's not the worst thing in the world) - may cause more side effects (again, if you're not pooping blood, you're probably going to live) - may cause resistance (yes, this isn't good, but you've only used it once, in one-dosage form, it probably cleared your system long ago; not the end of the world) Is this anything to hyperventilate about? A reason to be "terrified?" No, it's really not. -------------------- |

Ok, I know I said I wasn't coming back but I can't leave. I'm terrified right now. I found this at the vaginosis site: "Clindesse should not be prescibed for this condition". I also read somewhere else on the site that it shouldn't be prescribed for a first time diagnosis. Well my doctor prescribed it to me for my first time diagnosis! I'm just scared and trying to hold back tears as I think about the fact that I could have had this beat with Flagyl the first time around and I'm so angry with my doctor. He's supposed to be one of the best where I live. I may not be here right now if it weren't for that God forsaken Clindesse! I just want to go cry myself to to sleep and not wake up until my doctors appointment Friday. I know that some of you here are already sick of me but I can't leave yet. I need you all. Especially now. I'm just too damn scared that I'm going to burn in the bv fires of hell (literally) forever because of that shit. And I wouldn't be so damn scared if this infection didn't cause me pain. I can always feel it. Sometimes I wish I just had the smell and no pain. But instead I have pain and no smell. And I do tell myself its better that I don't have both. But I still don't want this burning. I just need to shut the fuck up and cry it out. I'm hysterical right now and need to go before I stop making sense.

Hi Lori,
Thanks for the info! The IBS symptoms didn't occur after taking the antibiotics. Thus, the stomach symptoms weren't caused by the antibiotics. Those symptoms (IBS and BV) were comorbid. My doctor felt the overgrowth of bacteria triggered IBS. The antibiotics relieved both the BV symptoms and IBS. When both flared up again after finishing a course of antibiotics, I began taking Bio-K which cleared both. Sfgirl |

The live bacteria in Bio-K, when taken orally, makes its way down to the vaginal area. As I recall (you may want to double check this on Bio-K's web site), 68 percent of the live bacteria makes it way down to the vaginal area. Hey SFgirl. I've been reading the bio-K site, and I don't see anything there about this. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks. http://www.biokplus.com/Contenu.aspx?nav_i...9&lang_id=A Arj75, is this the Ultimate Flora that you're taking? http://www.renewlife.com/flowmeter.cfm?meter=438 -------------------- |

Lori, If you have time..(List the product that I found recently too...Ultimate Flora (Probiotic). $35.99.. What is the cost of that fem stuff? I also am going to start eating Dannon Activia Yogurt twice a day. Before this BV, I have only had a few yeast infections in my life, and had cured them by eating yogurt and just using creams to relieve the burning and itching caused from the yeast.... Hey arj75! Thanks, I will add it! (Fem-dophilus costs $24 at Whole Foods [fridge] and about $15 online [vitacost.com, etc, not in fridge] - for 30 caps) The BV triggered Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symtoms. After a trip to the doctor, and several tests to rule out other disorders, the doctor concluded the same -- that BV had triggered IBS-like symtoms. I was given Flagyl which helped to relieve symptoms, including the stomach pain and constipation, and recovered two weeks later. Hello SFgirl, welcome to the board! I don't think the BV triggered your IBS-like symptoms, it was probably the antibiotics. The same thing happened to me after taking clindamycin (oral) - it kills the "good" bacteria in your gut, and disturbs the balance. The concept is similar to how BV occurs, but it is probably not directly caused by BV. It sounds like you may have had a Clostridium difficile infection - an overgrowth of this bacteria is a known side effect of clindamycin. It makes sense because taking metronidazole relieved your symptoms - metronidazole kills the C. difficile bacteria. (Confusing, huh?) Just another way BV can screw up your life. *sigh* But I'm glad you discovered that probiotics helped you! I used Culturelle, and that really helped with my symptoms. I've also heard good things about Activia yogurt. But maybe I'll try Bio-K next time. I like that it's in liquid form. It's very pricey, but most good probiotics seem to be. Thanks for telling us that inserting Bio-K vaginally is helping you. Anyway, I highly recommend that if you ever take antibiotics again for any reason, make sure you let your doctor know you've had intestinal troubles. And while taking the antibiotics, make sure you're also taking Bio-K and keep an eye on your symptoms. I am never sure what probiotic to use, because I have taken them before, and they state they are for digestive health. I am not sure if they work on vaginal flora. They dont seem to ever help when I take them orally. But thanks, and I will try it. I am willing to try ANYTHING. Hello babs, welcome to the board! Fem-dophilus is a product specifically designed for vaginal health. You take it orally. I've been taking it for over 2 months now, and so far so good. (Another product is Gy-Natren. This stuff is horrible and caused irritation and a lot of problems. Not recommended.) Hi everyone, I just found out I have that same problem BV. Im scared cause as soon as I found out I went online and research as it was my thesis in college. I found interesting facts, hiwever i also found out of the negative consequences. I heard that BV can lead to pelvic inflamatory disease which causes a woman to be sterile. Hello kittypassion, welcome to the board! I have the same fear. I had undiagnosed BV for at least 3 years - went to the gyno a bunch of times, but all they did was test for STD's and didn't treat my BV. I had a bunch of pap tests, too, and the report always read - "inflammation" and "acute cervicitis." (Cervicitis = inflammation of cervix) Not to mention I was in pain! But they did NOTHING! I have the very same fear - that during that time of retarded doctors, my BV may have advanced into my upper genital tract and fucked with my reproductive organs. I have anxiety attacks and nightmares about it. *deep breath* Anyway, I've read up a lot about this online. BV does increase your chance of getting PID in conjunction with other factors - gonorrhea, chlamydia, abortion or other surgery/procedure, etc. Since I haven't dealt with any of these, I've been trying to figure out if BV alone can cause PID - and different sources will tell you different things. Some sources say it is possible (because a small percentage women who have had PID had BV, but did not also have gonorrhea/chlamydia/procedures, etc). In any case, it is relatively rare. The bad news for me is that I have had cervicitis which went away after my BV was treated. Cervicitis is one of the main symptoms of PID. And this is what makes me wake up in the middle of the night crying. The good news for me is that it is kind of rare. I have had a trans-vaginal ultrasound, which showed that they didn't see anything really messed up - but that's just a preliminary diagnosis for PID, so they can't be sure. But at least my ultrasound went well, so I'm just going to think positive and hope for the best. So don't worry, kittypassion. You probably didn't have BV as long as I have without treatment, so it's very unlikely that you got PID also. But here's what you need to do. You need to make sure you're under the care of a doctor. (Hopefully none of them are as retarded as mine were.) Take ORAL antibiotics (rather than the vaginal gel/cream, which target the lower genital tract), and talk to him/her about your upper genital tract concerns. Also make sure that you are having safe sex and protecting yourself from STD's - because those WILL fuck with your reproductive organs for sure! *Just want to remind everyone that I'm working on a blog on this site - just a compendium of suggestions from this thread. I thought it would be a good reference: http://www.bust.com/lounge/index.php?autom...;blogid=11& Please help me think of a name for the blog! -------------------- |

Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins - Sandra Ingerman
From cross-cultural legends recounting shamanic cures to the biblical accounts of the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, many spiritual traditions are rich in stories about seemingly inexplicable transformations of the natural world. The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into "safe" substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism. And while many have tapped this body of work to heal the self, it has yet to be used to heal our environment.
For twenty years, Sandra Ingerman has studied alternative ways to reverse environmental pollution. In this book, Ingerman takes us on a remarkable journey through the history of transmutation, teaching us how we can use this forgotten technique to change ourselves and our environment. She provides us with creative visualizations, ceremonies, rituals, and chants derived from ancient healing practices that produce miraculous, scientifically proven results. In one dramatic illustration of what can be accomplished when consciousness and awareness fuel our actions, Ingerman describes her own success in transforming the nature of chemically polluted water.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | | Print | |
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27, 1756 – December 5, 1791) Mozart was admitted as an apprentice to the Viennese Masonic lodge called "Zur Wohltätigkeit" ("Beneficence") on December 14, 1784. He was promoted to journeyman Mason on January 7, 1785, and became a master Mason "shortly thereafter." Mozart also attended the meetings of another lodge, called "Zur wahren Eintracht" ("True Concord"). According to Otto Erich Deutsch, this lodge was "the largest and most aristocratic in Vienna. ... Mozart, as the best of the musical 'Brothers,' was welcome in all the lodges." It was headed by the naturalist Ignaz von Born. Mozart's own lodge "Zur Wohltätigkeit" was consolidated with two others in December of 1785, under the Imperial reform of Masonry (the Freimaurerpatent, "Masonic Decree") of December 11, 1785, and thus Mozart came to belong to the lodge called "Zur Neugekrönten Hoffnung" (New Crowned Hope). At least as far as surviving Masonic documents can tell us, Mozart was well regarded by his fellow Masons. Many of his friends were Masons. During his visit to Vienna in 1785, Mozart's father Leopold also became a Mason. Masonic ideology and Masonic musicMozart's position within the Masonic movement, according to Maynard Solomon, lay with the rationalist, Enlightenment-inspired membership, as opposed to those members oriented toward mysticism and the occult. This rationalist faction is identified by Katherine Thomson as the Illuminati, a masonically inspired group which was founded by Bavarian professor of canon law Adam Weishaupt, who was also a friend of Mozart. The Illuminati espoused the Enlightenment-inspired, humanist views proposed by the French philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot. For example, the Illuminati contended that social rank was not coincident with nobility of the spirit, but that people of lowly class could be noble in spirit just as nobly born could be mean-spirited. This view appears in Mozart's operas; for example, in The Marriage of Figaro, an opera based on a play by Pierre Beaumarchais (another Freemason), the lowly-born Figaro is the hero and the Count Almaviva is the boor. The Freemasons used music in their ceremonies, and adopted Rousseau's humanist views on the meaning of music. "The purpose of music in the {Masonic} ceremonies is to spread good thoughts and unity among the members" so that they may be "united in the idea of innocence and joy," wrote L.F. Lenz in a contemporary edition of Masonic songs. Music should "inculcate feelings of humanity, wisdom and patience, virtue and honesty, loyalty to friends, and finally an understanding of freedom." These views suggest a musical style quite unlike the style of the Galant, which was dominant at the time. Galant style music was typically melodic with harmonic accompaniment, rather than polyphonic; and the melodic line was often richly ornamented with trills, runs and other virtuosic effects. The style promoted by the Masonic view was much less virtuosic and unornamented. Mozart's style of composition is often referred to as "humanist" and is in accord with this Masonic view of music. The music of the Freemasons contained musical phrases and forms that held specific semiotic meanings. For example, the Masonic initiation ceremony began with the candidate knocking three times at the door to ask admittance. This is expressed musically as a dotted figure: This figure appears in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute in the overture, suggesting the opening of the Masonic initiation. According to Katherine Thomson, there are many other examples of specific musical symbols taken from the Masonic rites that appear throughout Mozart's compositions. These include the use of suspensions to indicate friendship and brotherhood; the use of three-part harmony to emphasize the special significance of the number three in Freemasonry; and special rhythms and harmonies to signify fortitude and other attributes. Much of Mozart's Masonic music is written in the key of Eb. This key, with 3 flats is indicative of Masonic symbolism. There are other examples of the number three in the opera as well. The opening chords of the introduction sound three times, which also happens during the Temple scenes. Also represented in threes are the three temples of Wisdom, Reason and Nature. Tamino tries to open the three doors of the temple. There are three ladies, the attendants to the Queen of the Night, and three boys who serve as guides to Tamino and Papageno. List of Mozart's Masonic compositions The following is a list of surviving works that Mozart composed for performance at gatherings of Masons.
The story and music of his opera The Magic Flute is also considered to have strong Masonic influences. Courtesy of Wikipedia and the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon |

The driver was injured when he was thrown from his seat, but was still able to stop the bus and save the passengers on board. CCTV footage appears to show Mao Zhihao chatting to someone before spotting the danger ahead, but he has little time to react before the giant blue pole pierces the glass. Lucky, lucky escape.

Cheers to the new beer law
TRAVERSE CITY -- Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation to help local breweries expand.
The old state law put a cap on beer production.
Last week lawmakers removed the limit to give those types of businesses the opportunity to grow and increase sales.
Russell Springsteen, the owner of Right Brain Brewery says, "You're seeing these companies growing very quickly, but if you cap them then what good does that do to Michigan."
Springsteen says it will impact large breweries like Bell's who is preparing for a multi-million dollar expansion this year.
As for Right Brain, the amendment gives the business the freedom to expand. Springsteen says he plans to move Right Brain into a larger building over the next few months and hire an additional ten to twelve employees.
According to the Brewers Association, Michigan ranks 14th in the nation when it comes to breweries per capita.
There are 85 breweries in the state.

NBA AM: Who Is Available In Trade – Part 2
Around The League In 30 Trades – Pt. 2: On Tuesday we took a look at the first ten teams in the NBA and who might be available in trade.
As promised, here is the second ten teams as we mark towards the 2012 NBA Trade Deadline on March 15th
Indiana Pacers:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Dahntay Jones, Lance Stephenson, Danny Granger
Before we get too far on the Indiana Pacers, the word is Indiana is not looking to trade anyone. The Pacers are sitting on roughly $14 million in usable cap space and are willing to absorb a contract for a draft pick, but they are not overly engaged in anything on the trade front.
That said there is a belief that after two years of denying interest in trading Danny Granger, if the right upgrade-type offer were made the Pacers might actually listen.
The odds the Pacers do the dance with anyone on Danny Granger is slim, but as this young Pacers roster comes into its own, do not be surprised of the Pacers use Granger to land the missing piece-type player.
Pacers fans covet Boston's Rajon Rondo and that may be a reach, but that's the kind of upgrade it would take to get Indiana to get serious in Granger talks.
The Pacers would love to add a two-guard to the roster, and have been linked for two years to Memphis' OJ Mayo. New Orleans' Eric Gordon openly commented about how much he'd love to play in Indiana again, so watch that situation, too.
The Pacers have a mountain of future flexibility, so do not be shocked if they opt to sit out the trade deadline and see how far this team can go as constructed while looking at adding a couple of more pieces in the offseason.
Los Angeles Clippers:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Mo Williams, Randy Foye, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan
The LA Clippers are not likely going to make a trade in the next two weeks, however there are players on the Clippers' roster other teams covet, so you never know what will get offered to the Clips that get them off the dime.
Mo Williams' name gets mentioned a lot, however he has been extremely clear that he wants to stay with this team. Williams would love to get a contract extension from the Clippers but that does not seem to be a priority and that's been a source of public frustration – don't read that as Mo wanting out because that's the furthest from the truth.
Eric Bledsoe and Randy Foye are easy trade chips; Bledsoe, because of his age and relatively cheap contract. Randy Foye because he can help a team right away and is an inexpensive ending contract.
The Clippers are not aggressively pursuing anything but have been linked to Orlando's Dwight Howard. They are very much a dark horse in that race and almost a long-shot.
If the Clippers could flip any of the names listed above and get at Dwight Howard they would do it in a heartbeat. The Problem is that's not the direction Orlando seems to be looking and unless it's something that really upgrades the Clips; they look like they will stay where they are unless someone blows their skirts up with an offer that upgrades the team.
Los Angeles Lakers:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Metta World Peace, Steve Blake, Luke Walton, Josh McRoberts, Devin Ebanks, Darius Morris, Pau Gasol
Lets be real for a minute… the deal the Lakers do is likely done with their $8.9 million Traded Player Exception.
They may pack in a young guy like Devin Ebanks or Darius Morris instead of giving up a draft pick, but that is likely the boldest the moves get.
If the Lakers could find a deal that sheds Metta World, Steve Blake or Luke Walton they would do those deals in a second… but those deals do not exist.
The long running Pau Gasol rumors come down to two things:
#1 – The Lakers would flip Pau Gasol to upgrade their situation. That either means uber elite point guard (see Rondo, Rajon or Williams, Deron) or a two-for-one deal where Gasol heads out and an on-the-rise point guard and a proven small forward come back.
#2 – Moving off the contract is real. The Lakers are not nearly the free spenders they are made out to be. They are always looking for ways to cut costs, so off-loading the problem years of Gasol's deal is part of the motivation, but they are not dumping Pau Gasol.
Laker sources have been adamant in their assessment of Pau Gasol… The team still views him as an All-Star level player and the only way they would move him is if they got another All-Star in return. The Lakers understand Pau's price tag is scary to a number of teams, but they say they have gotten enough offers on Pau to know they could move him if they needed to, but they are not ready to move him unless it return a real proven point guard.
The Lakers are not in the hunt for Orlando's Dwight Howard according to sources on both sides, do don't get your hopes up of Howard being a Laker in the next two weeks.
If the Lakers are making a change, it's likely coming with the TPE not Gasol, and the player being brought in is likely a Ramon Session, Will Bynum, Luke Ridnour-type of player.
Memphis Grizzlies:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: OJ Mayo
The Grizzlies have had a ton of injuries this year but are still winning games. The Grizz have won 8 of their last ten and are sitting in seventh place in the West.
Outside of OJ Mayo, who the Grizz know they cannot pay this summer. The team is not very active on the trade front.
There was some talk a few weeks ago that Rudy Gay was unhappy in Memphis, but sources close to Rudy say he has cooled off and is having fun winning after sitting out last season.
It's highly unlikely the Grizz are involved in anything outside of an OJ Mayo deal.
OJ is scheduled to earn $5.6 million this year and will be eligible for restricted free agency next year with a qualifying offer of $7.3 million.
The team that trades for him needs to either covet him long term or be willing to risk losing him to a hefty free agent offer.
OJ has would-be suitors, hence why Memphis may have to deal him in two weeks.
The Grizz have a $70.6 million payroll this season, so dumping OJ for little in return might make the most financial sense. However with the groove the Grizz are in they may opt to hang on to OJ and try their luck with him in free agency.
Miami Heat:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: James Jones, Dexter Pittman, Mike Miller
The HEAT are not likely going to mess with the groove they have going, but sources close to the process say they are watching the Chris Kaman situation and if he gets bought out at some point they would pounce quickly. The problem with trading for Kaman is he is owed $14 million and the HEAT can't get anywhere close to that in a reasonable way.
The HEAT would love to get some help in the middle and point guard is always an area of concern, but given how the HEAT keep rolling, its doubtful they get involved in anything serious. They just do not have the trade assets to get involved in the name game.
Milwaukee Bucks:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih, Carlos Delfino
There is no doubt the Bucks want to dump Stephen Jackson, the problem is he is owed $9.25 million this year and $10.05 million next year.
That's going to be hard to move.
Beno Udrih is another name league source mention when talking about the Bucks, mainly because he is a very serviceable point guard that is owed $6.9 million this year and holds a team option worth $7.3 million next year. He is not as sexy a name as Ramon Session or Luke Ridnour, but for teams looking for guard help Beno might be the next best name on the list.
Carlos Delfino is likely not going to be moved, but league sources peg his game and ending contract as attractive to several teams especially teams looking for one more piece to the playoff puzzle.
The Bucks are four game back of New York for the 8th seed in the East and have eight games before the trade deadline. If the floor falls out from under the Bucks expect them to explore cashing in.
If the Bucks can string together some wins they may not be nearly as aggressive in cashing out the ending contracts of guys who may walk away in July.
Minnesota Timberwolves:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Martell Webster, Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Wesley Johnson, Luke Ridnour
The Timberwolves have a number of very tradable guys, however what they are looking for in return might be hard to extract – a starting two guard that can move the Wolves firmly into the playoff picture.
The Wolves historically flood the market with offers and ideas, so finding which ones are real and probable is not easy.
There is no doubt the team wants to trade Michael Beasley. He has some upside and he is actually maturing as a person and a player, but that's not saying much considering where his maturity level started.
Wolves' sources say they are not giving away their assets, joking that they lost too many games to get the guys they have to just flip them for little value.
Equally the Wolves are trying to move guys to move up in the West, meaning they want real players in return.
Minnesota is current one and half games out of the eight seed, so anything they do in the next two weeks will be about improving their odds of a playoff berth this year not dumping guys for future considerations.
New Jersey Nets:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro, Mehmet Okur
The focus of the trade deadline seems to be on Orlando's Dwight Howard, however the real focus should be on Deron Williams.
If the Nets blink and trade Deron Williams before the trade deadline Dwight Howard likely stays in Orlando for another year.
The word around All-Star is that Deron refused to commit to Brooklyn long term when asked by other players. He apparently wants to keep his options open because of the uncertainty surrounding who the Nets can get to surround him.
If the Nets cannot get Dwight Howard they may lose Deron Williams to Dallas which begs the question does New Jersey blink?
More than a few NBA insiders said Williams to Dallas in July was all but done, which makes you wonder does New Jersey know that too?
The Nets have several tradable players, but the lynch pin to what New Jersey does is Deron Williams.
If Deron is staying and the Nets feel strongly about that, then moving Jordan Farmar or even Mehmet Okur's ending contract for future assets becomes more likely.
It's hard to believe that Deron Williams could be the center piece of the trade deadline, but it's looking more and more likely that he is.
New Orleans Hornets:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Chris Kaman, Trevor Ariza, Eric Gordon, Emeka Okafor
The Hornets are going to trade Chris Kaman, the question is what do they get back for him? The Indiana Pacers have been linked to him because they can absorb the bulk of his deal outright.
There was talk of a three way-deal through Indiana involving Utah as well.
So there are options out there for the Hornets they just need to find the team offering the best future draft pick.
Orange County, Calif., businessman Raj Bhathal, Larry J. Benson and former Clipper executive and Coach Mike Dunleavy seems to be closing in on buying the Hornets from the NBA. Sources close to the process say that key trade deadline decisions could be made or at least approved by the new owners in the coming weeks.
There has been talk that Eric Gordon does not want be in New Orleans and that the team might be forced to trade him, however with Mike Dunleavy in the fold as a possible owner can Gordon be talked into the vision they have for the future of the team?
Trevor Ariza could be had, as could Jarrett Jack according to sources, but the price tag on almost everything in a Hornets jersey is an unprotected first round pick in the top 20 and no long term money coming back in a deal.
A team willing to take on salary could get Emeka Okafor for a song, but even the Hornets knows that is unlikely with the two years and $27.9 million remaining on his deal.
New York Knicks:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Toney Douglas, Bill Walker
The Knicks do not have much by way of trade assets. Toney Douglas and Bill Walker are the two names that get kicked around but neither will return anything of real value.
League sources say the Knicks might flip Toney for a first round draft pick simply to open up a roster spot for anyone who gets waived after the trade deadline.
Outside of a small cosmetic move, Knicks sources say the talk of a Carmelo Anthony or Amar'e Stoudemire mega deal is unfounded and that if the Knicks were to do something with those guys it would be after the season as there is a genuine desire from ownership and management to see how good this Knicks teams can be without major roster change.
If the Knicks fall flat on their face in the post season moving one of those guys might make sense around the draft, but Knicks sources say they are not in the Dwight Howard hunt and are not moving one of their core guys this year.
So we have 20 NBA teams out of the way with 10 more to go for Monday… so stay tuned as we round out who is likely available for every team.
Stan The Philosopher: During last night's pre-game in Orlando, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy made an interesting comment about his players and dealing with the constant trade speculation that will surround them over the next two weeks.
"I can't imagine being in a job that any time from the beginning of the season to the next two weeks that you can be traded anywhere," said Van Gundy.
He went on to joke that even if he were fired from the Magic, the team would still have to pay him and he'd still live in his house. He wouldn't have to move if he didn't want to.
His players won't have that luxury and he knows that no matter how much you try. The thoughts of being traded seep in from every direction and that even the best of players get rattled by it.
One Magic player joked pre-game that he had a couple of days' worth of clothes already packed because he knows it's more likely than not he'll be traded in the coming days.
That's the world a lot of guys will be living in over the next two weeks.
So when you are kicking around trade rumors for fun over the next 14 days, realize that there are people that have to physically move their families, up root their kids from school or live out of a hotel for the balance of the season to make that deal happen.
Sure that's part of the reason these guys earn so much money, but there is still a human side to trades that gets lost in the shuffle and sometimes that gets lost in the hype of the trade deadline.
Rivers Blast Rondo Rumors : Celtics coach Doc Rivers went on the offensive last night in defense of his embattle point guard Rajon Rondo who has been the subject of trade rumors for most of the season.
"There was not one single thing about Rajon Rondo that crossed my desk," Rivers said to Jackie MacMullan of ESPNBoston.com
"My relationship with Rajon is as strong as it has ever been," Rivers said. "Our communication has never been better. I want him here. I can say with almost 100 percent certainty he will be here with us when the season ends. I'm tired of this stuff. It's not fair."
Celtics president Danny Ainge took to the air on WEEI saying he and Rondo have talked about the rumors.
"Rondo is our best player. He's our most important piece of our future," Ainge said. "There's no way that we are actively trying to trade Rondo. That makes no sense. There's a difference between some great stuff that we can't refuse because somebody's desperately trying to acquire Rondo. That somebody calls me and says, 'Hey we want Rondo and we're going give you X.' But that's not happening. We're not looking to trade him. I've made zero calls to try to trade him and I won't."
"The stuff about Rajon and Doc, that's old news to everybody in Boston," Ainge said. "We all know that they've had bumps in the road, but Rondo is getting better at that stuff. He's had his best year on the court and off the court and so it makes no sense at this stage for that stuff to even be discussed."
The Celtics have been exploring their options on a number of fronts, but as we covered in this space on Tuesday. Rondo does not seem to be the player other teams covet, that distinction may belong to Paul Pierce.
The Celtics have eight games remaining before the trade deadline and currently sit at 17-17 on the season which is good enough for 7th place in the East.
How the next eight games go likely determines how the Celtics proceed at the trade deadline.

Cells: A123 M1A, 72 cells ($432 for cells alone from where I bought them) - Edit! Selling separately as well, for now I am selling just cells I have not put into packs.
Various wires, connectors, parts, etc I did not use.
Charger: Hyperion 1420i
Charger Power Supply: Modified Mean Well 600W 24V 25A Power Supply ($130) http://epbuddy.com/index.php?main_page= ... cts_id=232
What needs to be done to the bike: It needs a battery box mounting system, emergency cutoff switches, and the controller to be mounted. In addition, the front granny gear needs to be slightly larger to work, but I have been fine without it. (It is just useless due to interference, one size up would fix this problem and it would be fully functional again) - Also, the front fender is damaged, and the rear wheel has one trouble spot in the rim. (Not a big deal, but not perfect)
Location: Chicago area
Price: $2650 for everything, trades+cash considered! I am looking for a normal sized bike, electric or not. Feel free to ask me, the worst I can say is no. Payment: Cash. (I can put some of it on a credit or debit card or cash gift card as well if it helps, and I could meet you at your bank so you dont have to carry cash.)
PM me or email me at email@example.com (It is a public email already)
More photos to come. If you want a photo of anything specifically, please just ask!
