A new home sperm test is now available that measures your sperm count — the number of sperm in the fluid (semen) ejaculated during an orgasm. The test requires a man to ejaculate into a collection cup. The semen is transferred into a bottle of solution and mixed. Then six drops are placed onto a testing device. Results are read after seven minutes. The test detects a protein found only in sperm. A positive result indicates that your sperm count is above 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen, near the low threshold of "normal."
Fertility experts express caution about using a home sperm test to assess your fertility. A semen analysis is an important tool in assessing male fertility. But it is by no means a direct measure of a man's fertility. The typical semen analysis performed by an infertility specialist assesses the following characteristics:
No one of these characteristics alone can predict the fertility potential of a man. In fact, only half the infertile men have recognizable causes of infertility detectable by semen analysis. Many men with low sperm counts have fathered children, and many men with high sperm counts have been unsuccessful in fathering children. The only true measure of fertility is the ability to cause a pregnancy.
Instructions with the home sperm test say that if your sperm count is below 20 million sperm per milliliter (negative), you should consult a doctor about a complete fertility evaluation. However, a positive result does not mean you don't have fertility issues. Male fertility is complicated, with many contributing factors.
One situation where the test might have some value: If a woman is late in the fertility life span (older than age 38), her partner might do a quick home sperm test at the outset of trying to get pregnant, to see if there's cause for further testing. Better to identify an issue early when the fertility clock is ticking.

Led by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, business groups -- including oncologists, the Minnesota Vikings football team and tobacco companies -- accounted for nearly half of the $56.5 million spent lobbying state legislators last year.
The chamber spent $2 million in 2012, according to a new report from the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. The next largest single spender was Education Minnesota, the state's teachers union, which spent just more than $1 million, including about $700,000 for television ads urging voters to make education issues an election year priority.
The spending by business groups produced some recent triumphs -- the Vikings will soon have a new stadium and lawmakers did not raise taxes -- and some disappointments -- the GOP Legislature did not produce a health insurance marketplace bill and Dayton put a stop to some education overhaul proposals.
"We certainly had our share of frustrations last session but also had some successes," said Laura Bordelon, the chamber's senior vice president of advocacy.
Despite lobbying efforts that appear unabated, business groups may see less satisfaction this year. The governor and DFL legislators have already created a new health marketplace law that big business groups and health insurance companies opposed. Dayton and lawmakers also are eyeing higher income, tobacco and transit taxes.
"Every year is offense and defense. ... This is a year when we are playing more defense. We've had some trouble moving some of our priorities," said Bordelon.
Labor groups, which spent about $3 million on lobbying last year, may see more success. As voters replaced a Republican Legislature with a Democratic one, labor's issues have taken on new prominence.
"The people that got elected, we believe, are pro-education, pro-labor people," said Tom Dooher, Education Minnesota president. "The governor, the House and the Senate all agree that education is a priority."
The lobbying figures also show heavy spending to influence public officials making health care decisions.
According to a Star Tribune analysis of last year's lobbying reports, health care interests -- from dueling oncology groups to the big health insurance companies -- spent almost $5 million to sway official actions.
Just one health care interest, Minneapolis Radiation Oncology Physicians spent more than any other group that has health as its primary focus.
The oncology group, which wants to preserve a ban preventing new Minnesota radiation centers from being built, spent $640,000 last year on lobbying. A rival oncology group, Minnesota Oncology Hematology, spent about $260,000. Last year, the Legislature kept the ban in place.
The 2012 spending by Minneapolis Radiation Oncology Physicians was actually down by almost a third from the year before. In 2011, the group spent $900,000. All told, it has spent $4.6 million since 2006.
The Minnesota Vikings also decreased its lobbying a bit last year, spending $610,000, down from $840,000 in 2011 and $4.3 million in lobbying spending since 2006.
Lawmakers and the governor finally approved a new state-subsidized stadium for the football team last year.
"I certainly expect our lobbying figure to drop dramatically," said Minnesota Vikings spokesman Jeff Anderson.
"Our goal is to not have a presence at the Capitol this year."

First nations: enduring decade-old boil water advisories [1/22/2012] [Robinsan Jeyaratnam ]
More than 10 years ago, in the small Northern Ontario First Nations community of North Spirit Lake, a circuit board broke in the water treatment plant, and the population had to start boiling their drinking water. Now, a decade later, the circuit board has been fixed, but continuing issues with low chlorine levels mean that the water is still unsafe to drink. So, all of the approximately 460 residents are still boiling their water, said Chief Rita Thompson. JUMP TO MAP OF WATER ADVISORIES IN FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITIES In 1995, another Northern Ontario community, Neskantaga, had to start boiling its water because of inadequate disinfection in its water distribution lines. Despite government investment, the problem remains. A temporary solution, a reverse osmosis purification unit, was put in place to provide drinking water until the water system is fixed. In Pikangikum, Ontario, almost none of the 2400 residents have tap water in their homes. Most people visit one of a few water distribution points in the community, fill up their jugs, and go home with water that usually, but not always, can be consumed without boiling it first. "Since I remember, I haven't had any water," said Chief Jonah Strang of Pikangikum. He doesn't expect that residences in his community will get piped water until at least 2015, as first, they need to get sufficient electrical power to run a water system, and then they can start working on water and sewer construction. In Kitigan Zibi, Quebec, about two hours' drive north of Ottawa, a few isolated homes are served by wells contaminated with traces of naturally occurring uranium. These communities' problems, while perhaps extreme, are not that unusual. According to Health Canada records, on October 31, 2011, more than one in five First Nations communities were under a drinking water advisory. Through Access to Information legislation, Global News obtained a list of drinking water advisories in First Nations communities. The data provided a snapshot of water issues on reserves, revealing that on October 31, 2011, there were a total of 168 water advisories in 127 First Nations communities across Canada. In some cases, only a few buildings are affected. In others, virtually the entire population of a reserve has been asked to boil their water. Drinking water advisories are issued as a preventative measure to protect public health from contaminants that are known to be, or could be, in the water. They might be trigged when tests reveal things like high disease-causing bacteria levels or cloudiness in the water. A boil water advisory means that drinking water must be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is safe to consume. A boil water order is usually issued when evidence shows that drinking water might be responsible for an outbreak of illness. In the case of a do-not-consume advisory, water should not be drunk, even when boiled. According to Health Canada, the vast majority of advisories in First Nations communities are quickly resolved – at least 90 per cent of them within one year. But in 2011, the average duration of an advisory in a First Nations community was 772.6 days – more than two years. This figure has increased over the past decade, said Health Canada, because unresolved issues drag the average upwards. According to Health Canada's data, 38 per cent of advisories on October 31, 2011, were in place for five years or more. 70 per cent were in place for more than two years. "Drinking Water Advisories issued under provincial legislation are common in small and remote communities across Canada," said a statement from Health Canada. It is difficult to determine whether these advisories are more common on reserves than elsewhere, because each province has its own standards for drinking water quality and when an advisory should be issued. All remote communities face very high costs to import equipment and construction materials. First Nations communities also face difficulties in finding and retaining qualified water system operators, says a Library of Parliament report. "The primary responsibility for drinking water supply and facilities in First Nations communities in Canada falls to the First Nations," said a statement from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.

At around £1,010, the 16:9, 27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2711 monitor will be prohibitively expensive for most people. But the U2711 justifies its high price with incredible performance, a plethora of connection options, and an impressive 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution. Dell has also fixed the static dithering issue that plagued the 24-inch UltraSharp U2410.
Rectangles aplenty
The U2711 looks like a larger version of the U2410. Like the U2410, the U2711 has a matte black chassis with a grey highlight running through the middle of the panel. The panel is 44mm deep, but the back of the display, which houses the backlight, connection options and ventilation system, extends another 38mm, bringing the full depth to about 82mm. The panel is 645mm wide and the surface of the matte screen is slightly frosted. The bezel measures 20mm wide on all sides.
The rectangular foot stand measures about 318mm wide by 198mm deep. When knocked from the sides, the U2711 wobbled more than the U2410. In the case of the U2410, wobble was nearly non-existent. With the U2711's screen height at its lowest setting, the distance from the bottom of the bezel to the desktop is 43mm, and, at its highest, it's 130mm. The panel swivels about 70 degrees left and right, and tilts back about 25 degrees. The panel can be unscrewed from the stand and mounted (VESA-style) on the wall. Unfortunately, there's no portrait mode, unlike with the U2410.
Use your connections
Dell includes a plethora of video-connection options with the U2711, all located on its back. The connections include VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, component, composite and two DVI ports. S-Video is the only missing connection. Also included are two downstream USB ports, one upstream port, an audio-out port, and a speaker port. Accessing these connections is fairly easy -- we were only hampered by the lack of a pivot feature. On the left side of the panel are two additional USB downstream ports and one card-reader port that's compatible with xD-Picture Cards, MultiMediaCards, SD cards, and Sony Memory Sticks.
The on-screen display has the label-free design seen on many recent Dell monitors. Five buttons line the lower right-hand corner of the bezel. Pressing any of the buttons brings up the OSD, which pops up parallel to the button array, and each option corresponds to one of the four buttons. Once a new menu comes up, the function of the buttons changes dynamically, as the top two buttons become the up and down arrow buttons used to navigate through the new menu. Since any button labels for the OSD are actually on the screen instead of on the bezel, calibrating the display in a dark room is easy.
The U2410's OSD buttons have a low sensitivity, making it sometimes necessary to push them harder than we'd consider normal. The U2711 doesn't suffer from this problem, and the buttons are appropriately responsive.
The OSD menu options include the standard brightness, contrast and various colour options. The presets are separated into two categories: 'graphics' and 'video'. There are numerous graphics presets to choose from: 'standard', 'multimedia', 'game', 'warm', 'cool', 'Adobe RGB', 'sRGB' and 'custom'. The video presets are: 'movie', 'game' and 'nature'. The presets don't change anything other than the red, green and blue colour balance. Therefore, how well each setting works is subjective. There are options for adjusting the hue, sharpness and colour saturation, as well as additional options for setting the OSD to stay on-screen for up to a minute, which is useful for anyone who will spend a good amount of time calibrating.
Cracking performance
We tested the U2711 with its DVI connection under the default standard preset. The display posted a composite score of 98 in our DisplayMate-based performance tests -- one of the highest scores we've seen yet. The U2711 scored well in all of our colour and uniformity tests, and avoided the colour-compressing issue that we saw with the U2410, as well as the slightly pink screen tint.

I wouldn't think mom and son would be OK either. And it's completely different than a hot tub as you wear a swimsuit in there.
I also don't think it is prudish. I think at that age children need their privacy just as much as adults do. I think that four is a good cut off age for taking baths/showers with children of the opposite sex. |
i think people are to quick to supect nastiness for a loving family. that is sad. if the dad is no longer comfy showerinfg with his dd then he needs to nicely tell her so.
how messed up have we become that families seeing each other naked has become this sex crazed act? |
i am glad there is a specific cut off age of bathing with your kids. : i will be sure to let my boys know this. sheesh. everything becomes nasty at 4? how about if you nurse at 4 or co-sleep at 4? does that all stop too and become perverted? i have a wee-one turning 4 in july... he still seems like a baby. i can't even wrap my mind around this... seriously.
h |
see it isn't a PROBLEM to ask questions. to educate your kids. my children have had no privacy issues.. the boys are all comfy being naked, maybe it is because I haven't made it out to be nasty. maybe we could end up raising children who aren't so freaked out about nakedness together.
h |
Well the vast majority of perps of sexual abuse are men who are heterosexual in their adult orientation. Sooo... i tend to trust mamas a heck of a lot more than I do fathers. There's sexist and then there's reality, yk?
Not that I'd be too cool about a mother/son combo of this age showering together either. But I always see the 'omgz reverse sexism' card pulled in these discussions and I think the logic is seriously flawed. |
i think people are to quick to supect nastiness for a loving family. that is sad. if the dad is no longer comfy showerinfg with his dd then he needs to nicely tell her so.
i think it is a shame that a dad would feel uncomfortable horsing around with his dds. just because they are girls they no longer get physical attention? how messed up have we become that families seeing each other naked has become this sex crazed act? h |
Thank you all for sharing your opinions. Sometimes you just have to bounce things off of people and make sure you're not overreacting, especially in a step-parent situation. If it doesn't happen again, then I guess it won't be an issue. If, like on other occassions, it does happen again, I may be back for a little more feedback!
I also don't think it is prudish. I think at that age children need their privacy just as much as adults do. I know a woman who used to force her way into the bathroom to wash her son's hair until he was 14. He was completely uncomfortable with that but mom didn't care.
Children only need privacy when they want it- and usually that starts a little before puberty (or a couple yrs before- depending on the kid) when the hormones start making them and a fig leaf isn't enough anymore.
im not up on the whole perps of sexual abuse thing, but i dont have any in my family and im certainly not one (i have 3 sons, no daughters). i do think its sexist to assume a father is a perp. I dont think its reality. i would love to know how my logic that a father would love his dd just as much as a mother would love her son is flawed. *shrug* |
Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not saying this father is a perp, and I'm not saying he doesn't love his child as much as the mother does. I'm saying that it's not appropriate IMO for either parent to shower with an opposite gender child of this age. Period.
I am also saying it is NOT sexist to acknowledge that the vast majority of perps of child sexual abuse are (het) men, and to take extra precautions based on that. Sexual abuse of children is rampant, most of it is committed by men who they know and who everyone thinks is a normal, great guy... fathers, step fathers, brothers, neighbours, teachers. Regular dudes, and a LOT of them (or a few who get around a lot but don't get caught, but my money is on the theory that it is a LOT of men, or the few who have many many many victims would eventually get caught, no?) It is NOT only or mainly convicted, obvious paedophiles who we need to watch out for. THAT is reality. Sad reality, but reality, and there is nothing offensive about acknowledging it as such and taking steps to protect our children. What is offensive is allowing the epidemic of child sexual abuse to continue unchallenged coz we don't want to step on toes or gawd forbid be accused of 'reverse sexism.' |
Sometimes, sometimes not. My 7 3/4 y/o is pretty fine with running around nude around me and her dad still. Her older sister (9 3/4) started getting very upset if her little sister, cousin, or anybody came in the bathroom when she was going potty by the time she was 4 or 5, I'd say. She has been wanting privacy for changing for a few years now and she is not anywhere near puberty that I can tell.
From what the OP posted, it sounds like her dsd is not uncomfortable with the situation. I don't know that it is prudish to suggest to an older child that there comes a time where people may want privacy for bathing, though. |
Little hairs on the back of my neck are standing up, I'm a little confused.
I wonder why a grown man would shower with his step daughter if he wasn't comfortable....why is he doing it?! Why would a grown man shower with his 10 year old step daughter rainstorm or not? And why would you come here and say "well if it happens again...." Seems really strange. Why would it happen again if your husband doesn't like it? It just doesn't make any sense at all. |

Rockets owner jokes with McHale, wishes Popovich was head coach
During the press conference announcing Kevin McHale as the new head coach of the Houston Rockets, McHale joked with those in attendance and with Rockets owner Les Alexander about how coaching spots for 55 to 60-win teams were not available. If they were available, he would taken the job in a heartbeat and pass on the Rockets.
Of course he was referring to the Rockets' record this past season where they won 43 games.
Well, Alexander fired back at McHale and said he wishes he could have San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich patrolling the sidelines for the Rockets:
"He said if he could get a 60-win team he wouldn't have taken this job, right? And if I could get (San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg) Popovich right now, (McHale) wouldn't have gotten the job," Alexander said.
"It's the truth," Alexander said. "Not that he can't be as good as Popovich, but (Popovich) is a sure thing."
Got to love this Spurs fans. Just goes to show you how much Popovich is revered and considered one of the best coaches in the NBA.
Still, could you imagine Popovich coaching another team other than the Spurs? Just doesn't seem right.

Cracking the Nightly Showdown
May 20, 2010
Because I know you all are just dying for an update: Jack still doesn't eat. I know! Phillip and I are still not sure how this happened. To produce a child so wholly uninterested in delicious food must have required every recessive gene in our bodies.
You may be pleased to note that I have chosen to deal with this obnoxiousness by Not Caring. Possibly not the best parenting choice, but definitely the best for my mental health. When your every effort to convince your son that French toast is one life's pure pleasures fails and fails miserably, you need to acquire a whole new perspective. One in which there are people in the world who do not instantly devour fried bread. I KNOW.
My husband, on the other hand, considers manipulating Jack's appetite a part of his daily routine. If Jack doesn't eat or doesn't want his lunch, I just throw it out or put it back in the fridge and we go on with our lives. When Jack doesn't eat dinner, Phillip is home and we are treated to a nightly Show Of Force, one in which both parties are so stubborn and so annoying in their overtures that dinner is effectively ruined.
The Parental Differences Showdowns in our house occur nightly as well.
A few nights ago we went out to dinner with Phillip's parents and his uncle, who had never met the kids. It was kind of a big deal and we were going to a nice restaurant and I wanted the kids to be cute and sweet and perfect. Of course Jack didn't nap until he fell asleep in the car, making for an extra super cranky boy at the restaurant. His behavior was already atrocious without the added benefit of coaxing him to eat, but Phillip did so anyway. And Internet, it was mortifying. I mean, Jack was being awful, and then here's Phillip insisting he have a bite of fried rice before he can have a shrimp chip. And then it was a bite of white rice. Like there is a nutritional difference between white rice and a shrimp chip! GAH!
Food is SUCH a big deal in most of the Asian-American families I know. Food is love. Food is joy. And when your grandson won't eat a single thing on the table, perhaps you get sort of desperate and distraught. How can this be? How can his parents let this happen? It wasn't until this last family dinner that I realized maybe Phillip's personal mission to force the boy to eat, especially in front of his parents, has something to do with wanting to prove he's a good dad. Showing his own parents that he can handle this stuff. Take care of his kid. I mean, God knows the daughter-in-law isn't concerned!
In Phillip's family, an evening's success is so often centered around whether or not Jack eats. This hardly happens in my family. Not that we don't want him to eat, but no one thinks making a huge deal out of it will help. We're not nice about it -- he doesn't get dessert, he gets it again for his next meal, all that good stuff -- but no one likes enduring another episode of Talk Jack Into Trying The Spaghetti.
This is hard for me to figure out since I (OBVIOUSLY) have an opinion about how this not-wanting-to-eat thing should be handled. But now I'm feeling like it's not just a not-my-family thing, but a CULTURAL thing and that makes it more sensitive and harder to crack.
Is there anything you feel like you have to just Let Go when dealing with different families?

Will on the Hill
Tuesday June 17, 2014
Will on the Hill, now in its twelfth year, is a bipartisan favorite for fans of theatre and politics! Proceeds from this event support STC's many education, artistic and community engagement programs including in-school workshops and online learning resources that inspire new and diverse audiences and deepen the connection to classical theatre in learners of all ages.
Purchase Will on the Hill performance-only tickets here
To purchase VIP Tickets, call 202.547.3230 ext 2331 or contact email@example.com.
The Shakespeare Theatre Company's annual Will on the Hill benefit each spring welcomes Members of Congress, Senators, and distinguished Washington insiders onto the Company's stage to perform scenes from Shakespeare—infused with comedic references to contemporary politics.
Will on the Hill pays tribute to the unique dynamic of our city and provides a wonderful way to engage new audiences and support the Shakespeare Theatre Company's artistic, education and community outreach programs.
"Each spring, members of Congress and the media are invited to show off their acting skills (or lack thereof). To play or not to play, that is the question." – NBC Washington
"I would suggest putting "Will on The Hill" on your calendar for next May if you want to enjoy a fun night in the theater, see members of Congress act silly intentionally, and help bring Shakespeare to the young people of greater Washington." – Washington Blade

Unique no-cost app ZoomIt! from Jurgens IT in partnership with Appromoters.com lets users take a photo of any object, zoom in on a specific point, and send this much smaller - and rather mysterious - picture to their ZoomIt! competitor to see if they can guess what it is. The app offers an array of special features, including multiple game modes, interactive chat, push notifications, the option to challenge friends on social media, and more.
Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2014
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in search of a simple, fun and incredibly entertaining game that blends photos, social and sharing, can now download the unique no-cost app ZoomIt! from Jurgens IT in partnership with Appromoters.com and prepare for hours and hours of addictive enjoyment and thrilling competition.
In ZoomIt!, users take a photo of any object such as a favorite place, a friend, an everyday object that would be easily recognizable at full zoom or anything else they wish. Next, they choose to zoom in on a specific point, and send this much smaller and rather mysterious - picture to their ZoomIt! competitor, who tries to guess what it is.If they fail to do so, the picture automatically zooms out step-by-step to make the task progressively easier.
Those who take and send photos are rewarded when competitors have trouble guessing their object, while those who guess are rewarded by correctly guessing an object that has a high zoomfactor (i.e. has not been enlarged).
Other key ZoomIt! special features include:
We have extensively tested and compared the ZoomIt! concept with current and past market trends, and believe that this is truly going to be one of those must-have games that appeal to a huge cross-section of people around the world, commented Raoul Milhado of Appromoters.com. Essentially, ZoomIt! allows people to create their very own, customized photo guessing game. Its brilliantly simple, yet delightfully challenging way for people to discover if their friends have what it takes to guess the images that they send and if they have what it takes to send them challenging photos!
ZoomIt!, the unique new no-cost app that blends photos, social and sharing in a simple, fun and incredible entertaining game, is available now from the App Store at: https://itunes.apple.com/app/zoomit!/id612470010.

Apple Considering Making a 'Cheaper iPhone'
Apple may release a cheaper iPhone later this year. The company is considering making the product with a polycarbonate plastic case, which would be cheaper to create than the glass 4 and 4S models, or the aluminum 5 version. It would also feature a similar handset, but with a less expensive body. Though they may opt out of the release altogether, it is still believed a cheaper iPhone (or an "iPhone mini") is needed to compete with the more budget-friendly smartphones currently running on Google's Android operating system, and particularly Samsung devices. "Samsung plays in more segments and this should enable it to capture more volume than Apple (assuming Apple does not launch an 'iPhone Mini' this year)," Neil Mawston, executive director of Strategy Analytics, said. (Wall Street Journal)

I had a good week with my outdoor activities. Rode my bike a lot and got to walk the dog some. It sounds like that will be coming to an end with all cold weather that's coming. I'm glad I got the bulk of my weight loss in already because it's harder for me to exercise inside. I'd rather be outside.
I've been on a pretty strict diet and exercise schedule, and I plan on sticking with it. Even though I've been pushed back two weeks on my weigh-in schedule, I still plan on weighing in Nov. 1, and to be at my goal weight of 230 pounds. Once I hit my goal, I may try to lose another 5 or 10 pounds.
This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I'm glad I'm doing it. I have been very irritable and short with people. My patience is not very good.
My wife says I'm getting senile and I've been forgetting things a lot lately. I don't think my weight loss has anything to do with it; it's just part of getting old.
I feel like I've aged 10 years with all the wrinkles that are showing up. The other day when I was at work in the wash room, I turned and looked in the mirror and thought I was looking at my Dad. That's not a bad thing, since my dad was a handsome man.

Vestalife's Headphones Are Music to Women's Ears
Getting a product out of development and to market is one thing. Getting it into a top-tier store is like that times 100. Thousands of companies are vying for the same limited shelf-space. "If the designs make the first cut, there's a lot of back-and-forth with clients, manufacturers and retailers as we ensure the designs hit on every cylinder," says RKS [2]'s Ravi Sawhney. "Distribution, margins, packaging, channels...everything has to be just right." The marketplace attention garnered by RKS's new headphone line for Vestalife [3]is a testament to its intelligent strategy--laser-focused on a particular audience and manufactured with drop-dead gorgeous looks as a high priority.
A key to Vestalife's success may have also been due to Sawhney's unique development strategy. He tapped four female designers from his team--Soyun Kim, Leah Thomas, Young Bang, and Hojin Choi--and let them explore whatever headphone concepts tickled their fancies.
Their backgrounds each brought something a little different to the project: There was a microbiologist, an accountant with business acumen, a child prodigy and skilled artist, and a competitive snowboarder turned Ford Motor Company designer. Diverse backgrounds (and eight college degrees between them) allowed the women to survey the market using a blend of psychoactive and aesthetic-based standards. They quickly realized the cold hard truth about music and women: No headphone manufacturer was designing specifically for them.
The bigger problem for women actually lies in a larger issue around electronics: No matter how sexy those iPod ads look, headphones and fashion don't go together. If they could just bring the basic hardware a little closer to something you'd actually use to adorn your body, they reasoned, they might be able to reach a whole new audience of trend-conscious music lovers. "With more traditional earbuds, the design stops at the body," explains Thomas. "We chose to bring attention to the cord, treating it, too, like jewelry that was meant to be displayed, not hidden." Soft-touch earbuds with flexible fixtures, and colored, fabric-covered wires makes the headphones look more like necklaces, earrings, and headbands than electronics.
Tapping this new audience of fashion-forward women was key for the products getting fast-tracked to market, as was the choice to pursue a design based on an aesthetic-focused competitive analysis. Vestalife's launch now beautifully fills a gap left somewhere between utilitarian geek and let's-coat-every-product-in-pink. The line will see a debut at CES this week and then, before long, you can see them soon in a store near you.
Pi, the first concept by the team, uses wide fabric-covered "headbands" which can be swapped out to match with outfits.
Bumblebee is the earbud version of the Pi, echoing the headphone design for those who want to match their on-the-go look.
Scarab's sculpted pinch-grip encourages removal by the earbud, not the cord, and the folded leather-look insert forms a natural cord-relief.
Boa uses an elegant, understated design and the natural fabric look of the cord for a more casual feel.

Man, lighten up, you're taking things way too seriously. You have to accept that not everyone on this beautiful planet uses the same terminology, has the same knowledge, the same motivation, and whatsoever. You don't want to understand my questions, and I'm OK with that. Christian did understand it right away, so it can't really be me. Anyway, as far as I know you're not in the position of telling anyone what to do or what not to do, so please, let it be. I'm not your enemy, I'm a very friendly guy, and I can be friends with even the most repellent kind, but I'm having a hard time with someone who's patronizing me as you do.
I'm more educated than you would believe, but I don't mind asking questions that may seem silly to someone else. I never did, I hopefully never will, and I will teach my son to do the same. Cause there are no silly questions, there are just silly answers, as you have displayed impressively.

As the majority of the NFL games started today, let's looks at the strong power house's and the teams that lacked in many ways. We'll start with the Cowboys and Giants. Cowboys won a great game, and maybe bought themselves some respect, although there were just to many penalties; that will hurt them in close games. As for the Giants, they have to get to together, that's no Super Bowl team right there. The Cowboys won 24-17.
Now, let's do a quick overview to are beloved rookies: Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck. Griffin looked fabulous, better than Peyton Manning and Cam Newton did in their first game. He beat the Saints a complete powerhouse, well maybe not this year. Outstanding stats 320 yards and two touchdowns. As for Luck, he wasn't so lucky the Colts got completely blown away by the Bears. His stats were okay 300 yards, 1 TD and 3 interceptions, but he's rookie give him a break. Without a doubt Griffin will win Rookie of the year, but Luck will be better in the long run.
Now, let's do a quick overview of some of the games this afternoon. The Atlanta Falcons looked great, Ryan had unbelievable stats, 4 TD's and the Falcons blew away the Cheifs, a good day for Charles though 89 yards rushing. Then Mark Sanchez, who is now pressured by Tebow to play well did exactly that. 200 yards and 3 TD's, they crushed the Bills, but their D allowed 24 points to a weak offense, but C.J Spiller put on a show. The Eagles won, but no offense, the Browns ain't that good. The Lions had a close one, but against the Rams not a good sign. Texans and the Pats both looked strong, definite playoff teams, Brady used his tight ends as usual and the Texans D showed of as well as Foster. Peterson had a great day, coming of a big injury, he really proved himself as for Jones Drew eh not so much. Personally, I don't know what to say about the Saints, Brees played well but they just couldn't do it. Right now, the Bucs are looking much better than last year's 10 game losing streak, and Cam is of to a decent start.
Right now, two of the NFC's best are going head to head: the Packers and the 49ers. Currently the 49ers are in the lead, and Alex Smith is out shining Aaron Rodgers. Packers are of the a slow start, and if they lose guess what? Their at the bottom of the division, at least for a couple of days. There's still the 4th quarter, Rodgers can easily make a comeback. And let's give it up to David Akers for a 63 yard field goal, to tie the NFL record. Moss had a nice touchhdown and Finely has played well. I got 49ers picked in this game, they look stronger and have a nice lead.
Tonight, will be exciting, and it's Sunday so that's always a good thing. Peyton Manning will start a game it's been almost 2 years since he last did with the Colts. How he performs will be interesting, don't expect the old Manning, that will take some time or may not be possible. Should be a good game, both aren't particularly strong but they have their strengths. Steelers have a good D, and WR's, Broncos have a good D, strong RB and a smart QB. Overall, I think the Broncos will win 30 to 24. Overall, a great start for the NFL. Bengals and Ravens, and Chargers and Raiders will battle it out tomorrow.
