Hemorrhoids
Because you are physically unable to due to access or some other limitation, or because you don't want to? I think your doctor could probably offer the best advice, unless that is truly not an option- In which case I would use ice, avoid lifting heavy objects, try to manage your stools (avoid constipation) and use an OTC cream. Disclaimer: Keep in mind I am not a health provider and this advice should not be taken as the advice of a professional, these are simply some things I read and have seen work for others. If at all possible, you really should consult your doctor for the best advice. no wayyyyyyyyyyyyy! i put all my trust in online communities of bass fishermen

who's still flying?
OK, so let's figure it out then. We'll take the number of times that a plane has actually blown up due to someone detonating a bomb on it, and since we're talking about US travel, we need to limit it to instances that it has occurred in the US. Then we'll divide that by the number of commerical passenger flights over a given timeframe. I stated decades but I'll even give you a smaller timeframe if you'd like. 0/whatever number you want = 0. To add a bit more detail, per the NATCA, there are roughly 29,000 commercial flights per day. This gives us 10.5 MILLION flights per year. Let's say we go back to the Lockerbie bombing (US destination, originated in London) in 1988. I'll guess a lower number of total flights due to there being less in prior years. That gives us 1/150,000,000 = 0.000000667% of flights that have been brought down by a bomb. Is that not basically zero? The risk of anyone even attempting to bomb the plane you are on is ridiculously small. So small that it shouldn't even be considered by the person taking the flight. Emotionally we all fear these high profile events (shark attacks, plane crashes, etc) when looked at rationally the risk is neglible to miniscule. i actually just read about this in my psych. textbook. here is an excerpt from the text: "Our judgments about risks are also influenced by the availability heuristic, the tendency to judge the probability of an event by how easy it is to think of examples or instances of it (Tversky & Kahneman, 1973). The availability heuristic often works hand in hand with the affect heuristic. For example, catastrophes and shocking accidents evoke a strong emotional reaction in us, and thus stand out in our minds. They are more available mentally than other kinds of negative events . . . This is why people overestimate the frequency of deaths from tornadoes [or in this case, plane bombings] and underestimate the frequency of deaths from asthma, which occur dozens of times more often but do not make headlines." just thought that was a nice little relevant piece of information for those of you involved in the debate to ponder

Best MultiTool/ Pliers
Gerber Resolve for me: http://www.gerber-tools.com/Gerber-resolve-22-09462.htm the outside edges of the actual pliers started to rust a little after a long night of yankin' hooks out of skates faces. guess they didn't like the salt water. none of the tools are rusted and the the pivots/hinges haven't rusted so it is still 100% functional.

Sexy Bluetreuse and Some Others
i love that bluetreuse one with the blue around the eyes. and those bluegills! those are some of the best i've seen. on your next batch you should shoot the stripes through some fine scale mesh (like aquarium netting) and see how that turns out, i think it would improve them.

Can anyone recommend a set of 2.1 speakers?
as the title suggests, i'm looking to get a set of nice 2.1 speakers for my laptop. they'll be used mostly for music. i was looking at getting the Logitech z-2300. really seems like the best option in my price range (<$150) but i figured i'd see if any of you have any recommendations.
