From The Oregonian, today:
Question: What does the world's largest living organism do all day? Answer: Pretty much whatever it wants. But very slowly.
The U.S. Forest Service has adopted an informal live-and-let-live policy for the enormous tree killer it calls the "humongous fungus."
The huge root-rot infestation underlies 2,200 acres east of Prairie City in a remote corner of eastern Oregon's Blue Mountains at an elevation of about 6,500 feet near the Strawberry Mountain and Monument Rock wilderness areas.

Its sheer mass -- it's roughly the size of 1,600 football fields -- makes Herman Melville's fictional white whale Moby Dick seem like a tadpole. And it could get bigger.
In terms of age, Armillaria is a fungiform Methuselah. Researchers say it may have been 100 years old when Alexander the Great conquered the known world in 330 B.C. And some estimates suggest it could be 8,000 years old, said Forest Service researcher Catherine Parks, who has spent 10 years studying it.
Holy Moley, Batman!
I wouldn’t exactly call myself a software engineer although I’m being forced down that line into Oracle development at the moment. For various reasons, I’m not entirely happy about that and have been looking for a move so I do know a little about the job market here.

Make sure you have good vaginal hyinege wash daily with water alone, don't use tampons, avoid commercial sanitary pads and pantiliners, avoid tight fitting or synthetic clothing, avoid wearing g-strings or thongs, if sitting all day walk about from time to time, sleep without any bottoms on, use condoms and dental dams, watch for sensitivity to specific condoms or lubes, get regular check-ups, limit the amount of sugars and yeast you consume, etc. etc. Are you using condoms or not? If not it may be his semen as it is a different pH to your vagina and your vagina may not be able to adjust fast enough to compensate so triggering infection, some women also find they're worse with some partners than others. Infections can be passed between partners, also consider if you've not been confirmed as having yeast infections then STD's may be a possibility. If using protection then consider trying different brands and types of condoms and lubes, specifically you may want to avoid nonoxynol-9, flavoured and sensation lubes.Eating plain pro-biotic yoghurt and drinking unsweetened cranberry juice can help, the best idea is to get yourself some acidophilus pills from your local supermarket or health food store to help.

Nail fungi infection can cause permanent damage to your nails.

Aside from a toe nail fungus cure , practice good hand and feet hygiene all throughout your daily activities. Avoid constant moisture and keep your feet dry by wearing absorbent socks. And most importantly nourish your body with healthy food and boost your...
