Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

@cane-28152: I think Keo has claimed his website back from HSM, and is now operating solo, without the HSM journos….
I did hear from someone that HSM (with all the journos and Nikita etc) will be launching their own site….can’t remember the web addie though.

@shooter-28159: Nothing wrong with your Bulls team mate. (Bar Britney at 8) Arno Botha is NOT a player who should be sitting on the bench….Britney is.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-28161: what I like more is that the focus is on the new hate-hate relationship and forerunner status of the sharks and the stormers.
Bulls coming in with no expectations and less to prove to the supporters. And with a team that’s got most guys that look to last a whole season.
I won’t worry about Spies. You may want to expect more from him because he looks like a mens’ health cover… but, in the meantime, believe it, he keeps a few guys busy.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.”

The Draize Test is an acute toxicity test devised in 1944 by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) toxicologists John H. Draize and Jacob M. Spines. Initially used for testing cosmetics, the procedure involves applying 0.5mL or 0.5g of a test substance to the eye or skin of a restrained, conscious animal, and then leaving it for set amount of time before rinsing it out and recording its effects. The animals are observed for up to 14 days for signs of erythema and edema in the skin test, and redness, swelling, discharge, ulceration, hemorrhaging, cloudiness, or blindness in the tested eye.
The test subject is commonly an albino rabbit, though other species are used too, including dogs. The animals are euthanized after testing if the test renders irreversible damage to the eye or skin. Animals may be re-used for testing purposes if the product tested causes no permanent damage. Animals are typically reused after a “wash out” period during which all traces of the tested product are allowed to disperse from the test site.
The tests are controversial. They are viewed as cruel by critics, as well as unscientific because of the differences between rabbit and human eyes, and the subjective nature of the visual evaluations. The FDA supports the test, stating that “to date, no single test, or battery of tests, has been accepted by the scientific community as a replacement [for] … the Draize test” Because of its controversial nature, the use of the Draize test in the U.S. and Europe has declined in recent years and is sometimes modified so that anaesthetics are administered and lower doses of the test substances used. Chemicals already shown to have adverse effects in vitro are not currently used in a Draize test, thereby reducing the number and severity of tests carried out.
This test was invented in 1944, and continues to be used, unaltered. It is one of the many demonstrations of how these practices are used purely due to inertia, because there is no real desire to evolve and use more moral and scientific methods.

After both suffering from depression for a while, me and the wife were going to commit suicide yesterday. But strangely enough, once she killed herself, I started to feel a lot better. So I thought, “Fcck it, soldier on!”

woke up this morning at 8, and could smell something was wrong. I got downstairs and found the wife face down on the kitchen floor, not breathing!
I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. Then I remembered McDonald’s serves breakfast until 11:30.

Affection has many angles Niki.
And since when has “Fighting Pollution” been an insult?
I agree, after ” the hounding” of Puma, Sharkes Girl and Sharkes Lover by Yourself and the Brokeback community, I did get a little testy.
I Still am.
