Lyon midfielder Steed Malbranque does not expect to stay on at the club after the summer - but would like to continue to ply his trade in France.
The 34-year-old former Fulham, Spurs and Sunderland ace will be a free agent in June when his deal expires with Lyon, where he began his career.
While he still has contacts within the English game, he would like to stay playing in France.
Malbranque told L'Equipe: "For now, I have had no meeting to talk about a prolongation, so it will be difficult. I don't think there will be any continuation with Lyon.
"My first wish is to go on playing. I still have desire. Going on here, why not, if the club wants me to stay?
"I have some contacts in Premier League, but leaving again is not my priority now. It would rather be staying in Ligue 1."

|July 9, 2012
Dear Mr. Dobbs,
In response to your query in the July 2 edition of The Reminder, "Is health care a right? Or is it for people who can afford it?" That is a false choice that liberals love to offer. If you disagree with their position, you must therefore be a racist, homophobe, misogynist, against the environment, against children, or in this case, against the poor.
The question should be: Do you believe in the principles that this country was founder upon? (eg: the Constitution/Bill of Rights) Or do you believe that neither is relevant today and should change at the whim of whatever group is in power? Just because you believe in the Constitution, does not mean that you are against any of the above. It just means that you do not believe that it is the federal government's role to fill our every need.
It is up to us by using our God given talents and the protection the Constitution and the Bill of Rights provide. We are only guaranteed equal opportunity, not equal outcome. Will there be people who are truly in need? Of course. Help should start with their extended families, then their church, then their community and as a last resort, the state government. As it exists today, we have created a nation of dependents, many not willing to work for a living. The abuse of the various government "help" programs are rampant an well documented.
This begs the question, are we "entitled" to food, shelter, cloths, college, car, t.v., phone, dishwasher, microwave, cable, Internet? Where does it end? And who gets to pay for this largess? The answer is the 50 percent of working people who are not on one government program or another.
This has been tried time and time again in places like Cuba, Russia, and China. Only the bureaucrats at the top received the bulk of the benefits while those who were not jailed or murdered, have the boots of the masters on their necks and are only granted crumbs. In the so-called "compassionate" socialist countries of the world, (like Spain, Greece, etc.), as well as the communist countries, their social system has crashed, or is crashing under it's own weight.
In the false name of liberal compassion, we are destroying our country, one dependent at a time.
P.S. Access to a waiting list is not access to health care.

|Overview - Romans 13
|Subjection, and many other duties, we owe to the magistrates.
|Love is the fulfilling of the law.

Romans 13:7 (King James Version)
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

The Original SoupMan Garners Tremendous Attention At The N.Y. Foods Street Event In Yokahama, Japan
(SOUP: OTCBB) SoupMan, Inc., the nation's long-adored and highly acclaimed soup brand, recently attended the N.Y. Foods Street Event in Yokahama, Japan. Sponsored by Sakai Foods and the upscale Sogo department store chain, The Original SoupMan was invited to participate in the event by international export company, Sakai Foods, a Japanese importer of successful American brands to Japan. Sakai Foods is prepared to do the same for The Original SoupMan and seek to make the brand a fixture in the Japanese food and beverage industry.
The relationship between The Original SoupMan and Sakai Foods is expected to give Japanese consumers direct access to the famous hot soups in 2012 via the opening in Tokyo's Central Train Station terminal of the first Original SoupMan international location.
In a move that allows The Original SoupMan a greater introduction in the global $10+ billion soup category, this first Original SoupMan international location is expected to not only introduce its famous soups to this new market but lead the way for the subsequent introduction of the Original SoupMan new, shelf-stable carton soups for supermarkets throughout Japan in the future.
Sakai Foods has extensive experience in all aspects of promoting and exporting frozen, chilled and shelf-stable products internationally. Now, the export trading company will be responsible for overseeing international logistics, marketing and distribution of The Original SoupMan food products, including both retail and food service goods throughout Japan.Keiji Sakai, President of Sakai Foods, stated, "We are all extremely excited about opening our first SoupMan at such a great location. It will give Tokyoites a true taste of New York in Central Tokyo." "The Original SoupMan's seafood soup products have been especially well received at the N.Y. Foods Street show and we are confident that our new collaboration with Sakai Foods will secure our soups a lasting spot in the hearts, minds and stomachs of consumers living in Japan," said Dan Rubano, SoupMan, Inc., Senior Vice President.

Common Questions and Answers about Pregnancy week by week dogs
Small dogs are more nippy and yappy along with when baby is a toddler, small
are more easily hurt
a well meaning little one. Now if you own a small dog, dont jump all over me, I know there are exceptions. Shelters can "kid test" dogs to make sure they aren't scared of kids and training is a must. I have 2 retired greyhounds and a lab. All 3 are amazing with kids in the neighborhood and with nieces and nephews so I have non doubt they will be great with my baby girl.

In itself it is not exactly an illness, but is a response to shifting hormone levels. There are extremes, of course, and some
can be quite distressed
the condition, which usually lasts a week or two. It usually occurs about 8-9 weeks after the heat cycle is finished, (more or less the time pups woulod be born had the female mated) though this isn't always the case, and can occur earlier or later.

ya, 8DPO is really early to test, lol. my last
was + at 8DPO, but that assumes implantation around 6-7DPO. actually, it can implant around 12DPO...which then you probably wouldn't get that + at 14DPO...if you're lucky. auntDD could still be +...it's not as common but sometimes it takes a while to show on a test. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

About 1600 surveys were deemed usable and 68% described that their dogs ate plants daily or weekly.
that appeared sick prior to eating the grass and how many
vomited after eating grass, they concluded that in most cases, eating grass is a common behavior in normal dogs and has no correlation with illness. Despite what we all seem to see, the study showed that most dogs also don't routinely vomit after eating grass.

but I still don't FEEL pregnant, know what I mean? Well..I'll know

Hi Everyone. This is my first
, and when I found out in December I was pregnant I made an appt with the doctor to see how everything was going with my baby. When I went in I thought that I was 8 weeks, since they went by my last monthly cycle, but when the doctor did the ultra sound I was only 5 weeks. Then I went in the next week because I was sick with the flu, and they did another ultra sound to make sure everything was alright, and I was 6 weeks.

I just got to work after going to my 24
appt. What I found out today has made me very upset and I am not sure how I am going to handle it. First off, I have gained a total of 13 pounds total this pregnancy. Which is good......and she told me to just be careful around the holidays (yea, like thats going to happen!) Anyways, the part I am so unhappy about is the new hospital policy having to do with the whole swine flu pandemic.

The gestation period for all breeds of
is 63 days, or approximately 9 weeks. The number of puppies can vary from one to ten to more, depending upon the individual dog and how many eggs she produced that were fertilized during that breeding. The puppies will start to investigate their mother's food at around three to four weeks of age and should be weaned and on puppy food by the end of their eighth week. At that point they are ready to go to their new homes.

And those two
are the most spoiled, loved
