There aren't many things we need in life to survive food, water, a warm place to rest, that's about it. My good friend, David Jacobs , 47, is different. He needs a new kidney to survive. He’s suffered for a decade with a degenerative condition called polycystic kidney disease or PKD and has been on the kidney transplant waiting list for two years. The past two months have been full of problems and complications and a couple of days ago, Dave he told me he was going to take his appeal for a kidney donor public. Until now he’s been extremely private about his condition, but he is hoping to not only find a potential donor for himself, but to raise awareness for organ donation in general. When he asked if I would help, of course I said yes. Dave and I have been friends for almost twenty years. I could write about all the things we've been through together, it's a lot, but now we're working on the biggest project we've ever worked on, surviving. Dave’s a hi-tech guy and has worked in sales, marketing and business development for several software companies including Microsoft, Macromedia and Marimba. For the past two years he’s been unable to hold full time work due to his condition. About ten years ago David told me that he has what he called Die Young Disease.

Newcastle have struggled away from home this season as they head to the south of France with a goalless draw from the first leg. Their defeat at struggling Manchester City also left them off the pace in the race for the last Champions League qualifying spot. We still have enough quality in the squad to end the season on a high Newcastle chairman Freddie Shepherd But Shepherd insisted: "We still have everything to play for this season.

I think you will appreciate it. The 2nd anniversary of September 11th Tragedy and the Iranian Nation SMCCDI (Public Statement) September 11, 2003 Two years have passed since the "Tragedy of September 11th". A tragedy resulting from an unprecedented terror attack on the US soil and which took thousands of innocent lives and left many grieving families behind. Without the shadow of any doubt, this infamous attack was the true manifestation that fanatical Islamic Terrorism has no boundaries and is hell bent in uprooting all the advances achieved by the civilized World, replacing it with archaic beliefs along with an intolerant value system inherent in all overzealous religious sects.

184. General Patton's Famous "Blood And Guts" Speech To His Troops General Patton s Famous Blood and Guts Speech to His Troops. Anyone who has ever viewed the motion picture PATTON will never forget the opening. http://www.geoffmetcalf.com/patton_20010914.html

General Patton's Famous "Blood and Guts" Speech to His Troops Anyone who has ever viewed the motion picture PATTON will never forget the opening. George C. Scott, portraying Patton, standing in front of an immensely huge American flag, delivers his version of Patton's "Speech to the Third Army" on June 5th, 1944, the eve of the Allied invasion of France, code named "Overlord." Scott's rendition of the speech was highly sanitized so as not to offend too many fainthearted Americans. Luckily, the soldiers of the American Army who fought World War II were not so fainthearted! The movie was a very good portrayal of Patton in that it was the way he wanted his men and the public to see him, as a rugged, colorful commander. In reality, Patton was a much more profane speaker than the movie dared to exhibit. Patton had a unique ability regarding profanity. During a normal conversation, he could liberally sprinkle four letter words into what he was saying and the listeners would hardly take notice of it. He spoke so easily and used those words in such a way that it just seemed natural for him to talk that way. He could, when necessary, open up with both barrels and let forth such blue flamed phrases that they seemed almost eloquent in their delivery. When asked by his nephew about his profanity, Patton remarked, "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight it's way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
