Preparation H suppositories supply soothing relief from the internal swelling, burning, itching, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids. While most people likely don’t want to discuss hemorrhoids, it’s estimated that 75% of Americans will experience hemorrhoid symptoms at some point in their lives. Preparation H suppositories soothe these painful and frustrating symptoms by temporarily relieving burning while shrinking hemorrhoidal tissue, temporarily providing a coating of relief for anorectal discomforts, and protecting the inflamed, irritated anorectal surface to help make bowel movements less painful. Preparation H even offers a nighttime reprieve from suffering, allowing users to sleep better. Fortunately, hemorrhoids are rarely a serious health condition, but they are uncomfortable and bothersome, which is why Preparation H strives to give people the relief they need to enjoy everyday activities.

Buying Good Books
I am currently ludicrously behind on my reading list. I’m in the middle of six different tomes and there are another ten or twelve waiting next to the bed. The LA Times Festival of Books was probably not the best way to make any progress. I bought:
- Red Lobster, White Trash, and the Blue Lagoon: Joe Queenan’s America, by Joe Queenan
- Outtakes, by Dan Patrick
- The Kennedy Men: 1901-1963, by Laurence Leamer
- The Lighthouse Stevensons : The Extraordinary Story of the Building of the Scottish Lighthouses by the Ancestors of Robert Louis Stevenson, by Bella Bathurst
- A Civil War: Army Vs. Navy a Year Inside College Football’s Purest Rivalry, by John Feinstein
- Five Against One: The Pearl Jam Story, by Kim Neely
- The Best American Sports Writing 1997 and The Best American Sports Writing 1998

Nutshell
If you haven’t installed the Nutshell Toolbar yet, do it today. This is one of the most useful things on my computer and I use it probably fifty times each day.
(I linked to it many, many months ago. I just gave it to a friend today and thought I should hand out some extra props.)

UGA Drug Bust
ATHENS, Ga. — Five University of Georgia football players were suspended for two games Tuesday after they and a basketball player were charged with misdemeanor drug possession.
Football players Tim Jennings, Bryan McClendon, DeMario Minter, Mario Raley and Randall Swoopes, and basketball player Wayne Arnold — all freshmen — were booked and later released from the Clarke County jail.
Football coach Mark Richt suspended the five players for the first two games of next season. He also ordered them to perform 30 hours of community service and participate in additional physical activity.

Your homework project:
Compare and contrast the information contained in the article quoted below with Keats’ assertion (poetic, true, but an assertion nonetheless) that “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.”
NBC is planning to make a movie about Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the rescued American POW, even if it doesn’t get her permission. Can the network do that? Doesn’t NBC need to buy the movie rights to her life?
Yes, it can, and, no, it doesn’t - so long as NBC sticks to the facts.

Banana Care
File this under “Things I Can’t Remember How I Learned but Have Often Been Handy to Know”:
Bananas like the weather
At the tropical equator
So never ever put one
In the refrigerator.

The Middle East
All that time spent in Model United Nations in high school did not go completely to waste. It only took me about two minutes to complete this map of the Middle East game. Bahrain and Armenia threw me for a while there, but I got them eventually. This is really a great teaching tool. I’d be interested in learning how long it would take the average 20-something in the U.S. to complete a game like this of the 50 states.

Mad Cow Disease
So these two cows are out in a field, chewing the cud.
One of them looks over and says, “So … what do you make of all this ‘mad cow disease’ nonsense?”
