God's power over his creatures is represented by the potter. (1-10) The Jews exhorted to repentance, and judgments foretold. (11-17) The prophet appeals to God. (18-23)
Verses 1-10 While Jeremiah looks upon the potter's work, God darts into his mind two great truths. God has authority, and power, to form and fashion kingdoms and nations as he pleases. He may dispose of us as he thinks fit; and it would be as absurd for us to dispute this, as for the clay to quarrel with the potter. But he always goes by fixed rules of justice and goodness. When God is coming against us in judgments, we may be sure it is for our sins; but sincere conversion from the evil of sin will prevent the evil of punishment, as to persons, and to families, and nations.
Verses 11-17 Sinners call it liberty to live at large; whereas for a man to be a slave to his lusts, is the very worst slavery. They forsook God for idols. When men are parched with heat, and meet with cooling, refreshing streams, they use them. In these things men will not leave a certainty for an uncertainty; but Israel left the ancient paths appointed by the Divine law. They walked not in the highway, in which they might travel safely, but in a way in which they must stumble: such was the way of idolatry, and such is the way of iniquity. This made their land desolate, and themselves miserable. Calamities may be borne, if God smile upon us when under them; but if he is displeased, and refuses his help, we are undone. Multitudes forget the Lord and his Christ, and wander from the ancient paths, to walk in ways of their own devising. But what will they do in the day of judgment!
Verses 18-23 When the prophet called to repentance, instead of obeying the call, the people devised devices against him. Thus do sinners deal with the great Intercessor, crucifying him afresh, and speaking against him on earth, while his blood is speaking for them in heaven. But the prophet had done his duty to them; and the same will be our rejoicing in a day of evil.
Jeremiah 18:1-23 . GOD, AS THE SOLE SOVEREIGN, HAS AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DEAL WITH NATIONS ACCORDING TO THEIR CONDUCT TOWARDS HIM; ILLUSTRATED IN A TANGIBLE FORM BY THE POTTER'S MOULDING OF VESSELS FROM CLAY.
2. go down--namely, from the high ground on which the temple stood, near which Jeremiah exercised his prophetic office, to the low ground, where some well-known (this is the force of "the") potter had his workshop.
3. wheels--literally, "on both stones." The potter's horizontal lathe consisted of two round plates, the lower one larger, the upper smaller; of stone originally, but afterwards of wood. On the upper the potter moulded the clay into what shapes he pleased. They are found represented in Egyptian remains. In Exodus 1:16 alone is the Hebrew word found elsewhere, but in a different sense.
4. marred--spoiled. "Of clay" is the true reading, which was corrupted into "as clay" (Margin), through the similarity of the two Hebrew letters, and from Jeremiah 18:6 , "as the clay."
6. Refuting the Jews' reliance on their external privileges as God's elect people, as if God could never cast them off. But if the potter, a mere creature, has power to throw away a marred vessel and raise up other clay from the ground, a fortiori God, the Creator, can east away the people who prove unfaithful to His election and can raise others in their stead (compare Isaiah 45:9 , 64:8 , Romans 9:20 Romans 9:21 ). It is curious that the potter's field should have been the purchase made with the price of Judas' treachery ( Matthew 27:9 Matthew 27:10 : a potter's vessel dashed to pieces, compare Psalms 2:8 Psalms 2:9 , Revelation 2:27 ), because of its failing to answer the maker's design, being the very image to depict God's sovereign power to give reprobates to destruction, not by caprice, but in the exercise of His righteous judgment. Matthew quotes Zechariah's words ( Zechariah 11:12 Zechariah 11:13 ) as Jeremiah's because the latter (Jeremiah 18:1-19:15') was the source from which the former derived his summary in Zechariah 11:12 Zechariah 11:13 [HENGSTENBERG].
7. At what instant--in a moment, when the nation least expects it. Hereby he reminds the Jews how marvellously God had delivered them from their original degradation, that is, In one and the same day ye were the most wretched, and then the most favored of all people [CALVIN].
8. their evil--in antithesis to, "the evil that I thought to do."
repent--God herein adapts Himself to human conceptions. The change is not in God, but in the circumstances which regulate God's dealings: just as we say the land recedes from us when we sail forth, whereas it is we who recede from the land ( Ezekiel 18:21 , 33:11 ). God's unchangeable principle is to do the best that can be done under all circumstances; if then He did not take into account the moral change in His people (their prayers, &c.), He would not be acting according to His own unchanging principle ( Jeremiah 18:9 Jeremiah 18:10 ). This is applied practically to the Jews' case ( Jeremiah 18:11 ; see Jeremiah 26:3 , Jonah 3:10 ).
11. frame evil--alluding to the preceding image of "the potter," that is, I, Jehovah, am now as it were the potter framing evil against you; but in the event of your repenting, it is in My power to frame anew My course of dealing towards you.
return, &c.--( 2 Kings 17:13 ).
12. no hope--Thy threats and exhortations are all thrown away ( Jeremiah 2:25 ). Our case is desperate; we are hopelessly abandoned to our sins and their penalty. In this and the following clauses, "We will walk after our own devices," Jeremiah makes them express the real state of the case, rather than the hypocritical subterfuges which they would have been inclined to put forth. So Isaiah 30:10 Isaiah 30:11 .
13. ( Jeremiah 2:10 Jeremiah 2:11 ). Even among the heathen it was a thing unheard of, that a nation should lay aside its gods for foreign gods, though their gods are false gods. But Israel forsook the true God for foreign false gods.
virgin of Israel--( 2 Kings 19:21 ). It enhances their guilt, that Israel was the virgin whom God had specially betrothed to Him.
horrible thing--( Jeremiah 5:30 ).
14. Is there any man (living near it) who would leave the snow of Lebanon (that is, the cool melted snow water of Lebanon, as he presently explains), which cometh from the rock of the field (a poetical name for Lebanon, which towers aloft above the surrounding field, or comparatively plain country)? None. Yet Israel forsakes Jehovah, the living fountain close at hand, for foreign broken cisterns. Jeremiah 17:13 , 2:13 , accord with English Version here. MAURER translates, "Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock to water (literally, 'forsake') My fields" (the whole land around being peculiarly Jehovah's)? Lebanon means the "white mountain"; so called from the perpetual snow which covers that part called Hermon, stretching northeast of Palestine.
that come from another place--that come from far, namely, from the distant lofty rocks of Lebanon. HENDERSON translates, "the compressed waters," namely, contracted within a narrow channel while descending through the gorges of the rocks; "flowing" may in this view be rather "flowing down" ( Solomon 4:15 ). But the parallelism in English Version is better, "which cometh from the rock," "that cometh from another place."
be forsaken--answering to the parallel, "Will a man leave," &c. MAURER translates, "dry up," or "fail" ( Isaiah 19:5 ); the sense thus being, Will nature ever turn aside from its fixed course? The "cold waters" (compare Proverbs 25:25 ) refer to the perennial streams, fed from the partial melting of the snow in the hot weather.
15. Because--rather, "And yet"; in defiance of the natural order of things.
forgotten me--( Jeremiah 2:32 ). This implies a previous knowledge of God, whereas He was unknown to the Gentiles; the Jews' forgetting of God, therefore, arose from determined perversity.
they have caused . . . to stumble--namely the false prophets and idolatrous priests have.
ancient paths--( Jeremiah 6:16 ): the paths which their pious ancestors trod. Not antiquity indiscriminately, but the example of the fathers who trod the right way, is here commended.
them--the Jews.
not cast up--not duly prepared: referring to the raised center of the road. CALVIN translates, "not trodden." They had no precedent of former saints to induce them to devise for themselves a new worship.
16. hissing--( 1 Kings 9:8 ). In sign of contempt. That which was to be only the event is ascribed to the purpose of the people, although altogether different from what they would have been likely to hope for. Their purpose is represented as being the destruction of their country, because it was the inevitable result of their course of acting.
wag . . . head--in mockery ( 2 Kings 19:21 , Matthew 27:39 ). As "wag . . . head" answers to "hissing," so "astonished" answers to "desolate," for which, therefore, MUNSTER and others rather translate, "an object of wonder" ( Jeremiah 19:8 ).
17. as with an east wind--literally, "I will scatter them, as an east wind (scatters all before it)": a most violent wind ( Job 27:21 , Psalms 48:7 , Isaiah 27:8 ). Thirty-two manuscripts read (without as), "with an east wind."
I will show them the back . . . not . . . face--just retribution: as "they turned their back unto Me . . . not their face" ( Jeremiah 2:27 ).
18. ( Jeremiah 11:19 ). Let us bring a capital charge against him, as a false prophet; "for (whereas he foretells that this land shall be left without priests to teach the law, Malachi 2:7 ; without scribes to explain its difficulties; and without prophets to reveal God's will), the law shall not perish from the prophet," &c.; since God has made these a lasting institution in His church, and the law declares they shall never perish ( Leviticus 6:18 , 10:11 ; compare Jeremiah 5:12 ) [GROTIUS].
the wise--scribes and elders joined to the priests. Perhaps they mean to say, we must have right on our side, in spite of Jeremiah's words against us and our prophets ( Jeremiah 28:15 Jeremiah 28:16 , Jeremiah 29:25 Jeremiah 29:32 , 5:31 ); "for the law shall not perish," &c. I prefer GROTIUS' explanation.
with . . . tongue--by a false accusation ( Psalms 57:4 , 64:3 , 12:4 , 50:19 ). "For the tongue" (Margin), that is, for his speaking against us. "In the tongue," that is, let us kill him, that he may speak no more against us [CASTALIO].
19. Give heed--contrasted with, "let us not give heed" ( Jeremiah 18:18 ). As they give no heed to me, do Thou, O Lord, give heed to me, and let my words at least have their weight with Thee.
20. In the particulars here specified, Jeremiah was a type of Jesus Christ ( Psalms 109:4 Psalms 109:5 , John 15:25 ).
my soul--my life; me ( Psalms 35:7 ).
I stood before thee . . . to turn away thy wrath--so Moses ( Psalms 106:23 ; compare Ezekiel 22:30 ). So Jesus Christ, the antitype of previous partial intercessors ( Isaiah 59:16 ).
21. pour out their blood by the force of the sword--literally, "by the hands of the sword." So Ezekiel 35:5 . MAURER with JEROME translates, "deliver them over to the power of the sword." But compare Psalms 63:10 , Margin; Isaiah 53:12 . In this prayer he does not indulge in personal revenge, as if it were his own cause that was at stake; but he speaks under the dictation of the Spirit, ceasing to intercede, and speaking prophetically, knowing they were doomed to destruction as reprobates; for those not so, he doubtless ceased not to intercede. We are not to draw an example from this, which is a special case.
put to death--or, as in Jeremiah 15:2 , "perish by the death plague" [MAURER].
men . . . young men--HORSLEY distinguishes the former as married men past middle age; the latter, the flower of unmarried youth.
22. cry--by reason of the enemy bursting in: let their houses be no shelter to them in their calamities [CALVIN].
digged . . . pit--( Jeremiah 18:20 , Psalms 57:6 , 119:85 ).
23. forgive not--( Psalms 109:9 Psalms 109:10 Psalms 109:14 ).
blot out--image from an account-book ( Revelation 20:12 ).
before thee--Hypocrites suppose God is not near, so long as they escape punishment; but when He punishes, they are said to stand before Him, because they can no longer flatter themselves they can escape His eye (compare Psalms 90:8 ).
deal thus--exert Thy power against them [MAURER].
time of thine anger--Though He seems to tarry, His time shall come at last ( Ecclesiastes 8:11 Ecclesiastes 8:12 , 2 Peter 3:9 2 Peter 3:10 ).

You're embarking on building a wine cellar and purchasing wine for the space. It can be daunting, but not as difficult as you might think. First, you need a designated space to store your collection as it grows. "Building a wine cellar is critical to maintaining correct temperature/humidity and ensure proper storage of your investment," explains Tom Flickinger of Flickinger Fine Wines, an online wine merchant based in Wilmette. "Storing wine in a basement closet just doesn't cut it long term; it accelerates the aging of your wine. A cellar can also add to the value of your resale."
One professional source to build a wine cellar is NEFF of Chicago, a world-renowned supplier of luxury cabinetry located in the Chicago Merchandise Mart. With the growing demand for wine cellars, these designs have become one of NEFF's specialties. Owner Pat Borg says, "NEFF's Wine Room system provides the ultimate presentation vehicle for wine, especially vintages. It's available in finishes ranging from old world traditional to bold contemporary."
To begin procuring your collection as you design a custom wine cellar, you need a roadmap with directions on which wines to buy and how to track the wines you lay down for aging.
"First you need to find a wine merchant," says Mr. Flickinger. The 52-year-old veteran marketing professional is a long-time wine collector who launched his online shop seven years ago when he began buying and consigning wine collections. Depending where you are on what Mr. Flickinger calls the 'wine curve' (wine knowledge/buying sophistication level), a trusted advisor is crucial to help get you started and also advise you as your collection evolves. "I recommend starting with 5-10 cases from different regions – Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Loire, Champagne, Italy Port, Germany, Alsace, South Africa, South America, U.S., et cetera," says Mr. Flickinger. Taste wines spanning the globe, take notes and discover the regions/grape varieties you prefer.
It's also important to keep track of what you buy as you build your collection. With multiple options available for tracking wine online (like www.RobertParker.com or www.CellarTracker.com) or by making a spreadsheet filled with details, there's certainly a system to suit everyone. But ultimately Mr. Flickinger says, "The best software program is the one you keep up and use consistently." If you keep your collection simple, you're more likely to maintain it. So be honest with yourself about your time commitment to cellar maintenance.
The best practice for organizing your wine cellar is to have a separate section for everyday wines, as opposed to the gems you acquire for aging. It's wise to keep this everyday section well stocked to avoid having family and friends inadvertently open your collectible wines. This can avert the dreadful day when that 1961 Chateau Latour goes missing.
Finding vintage wines when building your cellar collection can be tricky. This is where Mr. Flickinger's collection comes into play. His inventory is close to 80 percent older vintages and 20 percent new release, the opposite of most wine retailers. As many collectors will tell you, buying vintage wine can be like rolling dice; you can't always pick a winner and often, they haven't been stored properly over the years of aging.
"Proper storage of your collection is essential not only for esthetics, but also for the protection of your wine investment," says Mr. Borg. "All NEFF [building] materials are ideal for humidity levels associated with wine storage. Urea-formaldehyde-free finishes and California Air Resources Board-rated low emission materials minimize the generation of noxious fumes that can destroy a vintage, while LED lighting eliminates harmful UV rays and temperature fluctuations that may harm fine wines."
While proper storage is high on Mr. Flickinger's priority list, he also prides himself on having "every bottle thoroughly checked for its history and current condition before selling it," offering good value, which can easily be verified though a quick comparison on www.wine-searcher.com.
Worth reiterating: It's important to start thoughtfully and somewhat slowly, so set aside a budget for wine and stick to it. Don't think quantity, but focus on the quality to value ratio. Mr. Flickinger suggests finding "wines that are wonderful examples of their region and appellation but also keep their value. Then, you can't go wrong."
If all of this still seems like an effort, keep in mind Mr. Flickinger's top five points to know when stocking a wine cellar:
1. Don't buy anything less than three bottles.
2. Be sure to maintain a tracking system.
3. Buy what you like and will drink.
4. Don't be afraid to invest in the wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy.
5. Drink the wine!
So shop, save, sip and don't forget — wine is for enjoying, not simply stocking away.

Volkswagen Beetle Brake Problems
Posts: 1
in Volkswagen
Can someone give me an approximate cost to buy and replace front and rear pads and rotors on a 1999 beetle? I think the dealer is overcharging (as they always do) but I was hoping to get some other opinions on cost. Please include labor ($ or # of hours) since I'm not able to do it myself. My zip code is 02893 if that helps.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help!
scaramouche Posts: 3I recently purchased rotors and ceramic pads for the front of my 99 beetle. The pads were a step up from the cheapest; the ceramics are less likely to cause rotor overheating and warping. The total cost for parts was (+/-) $80. A friend who has a lift in his garage did the work for $80, but this is very low... the trick is buying the parts yourself, and finding someone to do the not-so-difficult job of changing them out. It shouldn't cost you more than $200 total - parts and labor, providing you can get someone to do the work at a fair price. You won't find that low a labor rate at any dealership or full-fledged repair shop due to overhead, payroll expenses, insurances and all of the other costs a business must roll into their labor rates. I hope this helps.
scaramouche Posts: 3My 99 beetle, to date an unending provider of electronics oddities and surprises, has started showing the amber "ABS" light in the dash. I know this is from a dirty sensor at the brake rotor, so I am not too concerned...I recently had the front brakes replaced, and found this out. The brakes continue to work great, but now I am getting three loud beeps and a flashing "brake" light in the dashboard warning lights area. I have checked the brake fluid, and it is full. I am reluctant to take the vehicle to me local VW dealer, as I am unable to take out another mortgage on my home at this time. Any thoughts on the flashing light?
sc_john Posts: 1I just picked up our 99 beetle from the dealership. I submitted it for repair due to the ABS light. They said it could be the ABS system and it would cost over $1200, or it could be that it isn't getting enough power from the batttery and we may need to replace the battery. I told them we haven't had any battery problems and we would keep an eye on it. I decided not to have the ABS system worked on. So, on the way home the ABS light was on, as expected, but now the brake light is flashing. Did you every resolve your issue?
This discussion has been closed.

Hello, strangers! I am back in the Bay Area – fog e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e – and still in jetlag elation mode. Eating a lot of chocolate and renting The Fellowship of the Ring because why the heck not? I'll probably crash sooner rather than later, but let's not consider that for the moment. So! What better way to buoy my already-fabulous mood than an, oh yes, walk-off win by the Giants?
Thanks, Angel Pagan, you're the best. (Confession: I typed Andres Torres before I typed Angel Pagan. May or may not have slept over the past week.)
The Undisclosed New England city was all kinds of fun, but I missed KNBR broadcasts and orange and black fans everywhere. Sorry, Boston'ers, you're fantastic but not nearly as loveable as Giants fans are. Also, I missed AT&T Park. My proximity of about 15 miles to it is terribly comforting. I had brief stretches of anxiety at being across the country. Sadly, not making this up.
Anyway, onwards to happier things! While I was away, the Giants went on that incredible streak of 36) without allowing an opponent to score a run. 36 innings. That is a lot of innings. Imagine 36 cupcakes. Then 36 innings. Then you will understand the magnitude. Try it. Understand now? Good. In the process, San Francisco captured first place for the first time since last August – picture all the cupcakes you've eaten since then and you'll understand that magnitude – and got a somewhat mindboggling number of players named to the All Star Team.
Whew. They've been busy, hm? It would appear that they did not miss me nearly as much as I missed them. Alternately, maybe they did all this to lure me back because they knew that New England summer landscape is kind of enchanting.
I think I like that explanation better.
Diamond Girl
p.s. In an embarrassing turn of events, I never got up the motivation to vote for the All Star Game. In the way of penance, I have made it my personal mission in life to now get Yu Darvish in, in the Final Vote. I would very much appreciate it if you could help me on that mission. Vote right here and then comment and lemme know you did and I will deliver virtual homemade brownies to you across the cyberspace.

About Cox High Speed Internet Speed Check
Last Updated: Mon, 05 May 2014 > Related Articles
The Cox High Speed Internet Speed Check is a tool that you can run to determine your Internet connection speed.
The Cox High Speed Internet Speed Check tool provides customers' access to a speed test that measures downloads, uploads, and the time it takes a home network to contact the Cox network. The tool is designed to test speeds when connected to the Cox network. Although the Speed Check tool will work off the Cox network, the results will not be indicative of Cox network speeds and thus these kinds of speed tests should be avoided.
Internet Speed Check is accessible through Internet Tools and is available to all Account Holders and Authorized Users. Refer to Accessing the Internet Speed Check Tool for more details.
Understanding Results
Users of the Internet Speed Check tool will obtain different results based on their tier of Cox High Speed Internet service, the type of Internet device or computer running the test, the network equipment such as a cable modem, router, or switch, and the type of connection, wired or wireless, that is used.
Because the Internet Speed Check tool can also be used outside the Cox network, using a 3G or HotSpot connection, the location of the test can also impact the results.
You can also view the Speeds and Data Plans Information to see your limits and allowances for your particular package.

I doubt this dude has any idea how dirty the butthole is that he's about to lick:
I doubt this dude has any idea how dirty the butthole is that he's about to lick:
Some of the above pics are a bit over the top for my personal tastes. But Pocketadonis pics are awesome! That's just how I love it! Just slightly dirty, that yummy sticky manly butt hole musk!
As a nasty sub pig, I have never met a dirty butthole I didn't like.....
I'm not in to hardcore scat, but I do like it when I finger a boi and feel that his ass is a little (or a lot) full. I've done guys in the butt dirty and it feels great. I also love seeing guys go #2. I'd love to see the guy Oliver92 who posted in here about doing pics do some like the ones of that Russian boi!
Years ago in the dark orgy room at the baths I fucked one asshole who turned out to have not wiped after shitting. I asked him to come to the showers with me which he did.
I was a bit pissed and told him to "Blow me." after seeing some of his shit on my dick. He must have been high because he sucked my dick for a while. I was shocked to see a scuzzy looking character felch my load out of the asshole while he was sucking me clean.
A year later I met my ex who turned out to be a shitty asshole. He wouldnt suck my dick after I pulled out so I had to wash his damn shit off my dick in the shower every time I fucked him. At least his refusal to suck a man's dick clean was an indication he was relatively safe to kiss.
My favourite tread from now on
I'd like to see the skids he gets in his underwear (hopefully briefs).
This is my favorite thread.....Does anyone have any more dirty buttholes pics to share?
My thoughts exactly Pocket
I like somewhat dirty holes as long as I can't actually see anything. I find the slight smell intoxicating. It's as close to Rush as I can get without actually doing Rush.
Considering that the title of this thread is "dirty buttholes" it's weird to me that people would post pics and stories about scat. To me, they are completely different things. Anyone share the same interest in somewhat dirty holes but not into scat?
Here are some photos I 'found'.
I kinda think they're a bit much tbh, but this is definitely the right crowd.
here are some real dirty holes
Hooked up with my HUNG DOM COCKMASTER last night....took a beat down, and skullfuckin throat breedin and then had to lay under his rim chair and deep clean two days worth of raunchy, sweaty, filthy shithole, doin a liplock on it and goin way deep with my tongue.....french kissin his airy manasshole til it was squeaky clean...inside and out...woof!
Need more pictures in here! If that's you Oliver92, you've made me cum a couple of times now. Very fucking hot.
like these or...
Very nice pics.. When I was younger i used to have some extreme skidmarks on my underwear. I'd hide them under the bed to save myself the embarrassment if mum saw them while doing the washing
I'm with you Cavedweller. I could never get into scat but love the idea of an unclean butthole. It's very personal and very hot to enjoy another man's buttsmell! = )
But even in 2011 the internet has not given us much in the area between cleean and scat. Although here is a start.
Best foreplay is to sniff on a slightly funky butthole before fucking it and then kissing the bottom so that he can smell is own ripe butt smell on my face.
Third this. A little sweat is fine but anything seen with the eye is too much for my tastes.
I licked and finger fucked this "straight" guy's asshole this week. It was nice, tight, completely hairless and pink. I could tell there was no poo there when I started exploring there and I knew he didn't have time to clean since we fucked soon after we met.
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
love shoving my cock into a hot ass then seeing some extra come out
Man...eating a dirty ass is fucking HOT....nothing better than tasting shit when I'm eating a HOT guy's hairy hole....gets my 8.5"c cock hard as fuck!!!!!
God damn, I'd probably want to sniff and eat most of them asses. I don't like it nasty dirty, but just dirty enough to taste that tangy/bitter taste and smell that man musk!
Love to rim a nice ripe ass, also dont mind if there is a little extra when I pull out after a deep fuck
When it comes to butts, I'm definitely kinky. I love it when I'm rimming a guy and he farts in my face. I also think it's hot if a guy has a dirty hole, but I don't like too much. I'm perfectly okay rimming a slightly dirty hole and I'm totally fine with fucking one. I could really care less if after I pull out there is some poop on my cock.
I kinda expected to see Thomas Clark pop up here. Is he sick?
Well, I mean "Is he ill?" because I KNOW that he is sick.
I'd gladly lick that clean!
Just a picture still of the (ab)use of this slavedog by Owner
would you like to smell my asshole and lick me clean ?
smell and lick my asshole again !
HTML Code:http://www.keepstill.com/fetishes/latest-2/269239Someone tell me I'm seeing things and that hole isn't dirty.HTML Code:http://www.keepstill.com/fetishes/latest-2/269237
He's cute, too... I wouldn't personally volunteer to smell his butthole, but it'd be fucking hot to watch someone else do it, that's for fucking sure.
^ haha that first one you posted the links to does look a little dirty. Like he may have wiped, but not showered before the photo shoot.
hot. i like my men to smell like men.

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI) typically result from normal skin and GI tract flora ascending the urinary tract and overcoming the normal urinary tract defenses that prevent colonization. Bacterial UTI is the most common infectious disease of dogs, affecting 14% of all dogs during their lifetime. It is less common in cats, and occurs only infrequently in large animals. Young cats with feline lower urinary tract disease usually have bacteriologically sterile urine. However, >50% of geriatric cats with urinary tract disease have a bacterial UTI. Approximately two-thirds of those cats also have renal failure. Bacterial UTI in ruminants are associated with catheterization or parturition in females and as both a cause and consequence of urolithiasis in males. In horses, UTI are uncommon and typically associated with bladder paralysis, urolithiasis, or urethral damage.
Unlike humans, veterinary patients are often asymptomatic, and the UTI may be an incidental finding. The consequences of untreated UTI include lower urinary tract dysfunction, urolithiasis, prostatitis, infertility, septicemia, and pyelonephritis with scarring and eventual kidney failure. Coagulase-positive staphylococci are involved in the formation of struvite (MgNH4PO4) calculi in dogs. In intact male dogs, UTI frequently extends to the prostate gland. Due to the blood-prostate barrier, it is difficult to eradicate bacteria from the prostate, and the urinary tract may be reinfected following appropriate treatment, causing a systemic bacteremia, infecting the rest of the reproductive tract, or causing an abscess within the prostate.
Large retrospective studies have documented the most common species of uropathogens in dogs and cats, with Escherichia coli being the single most common pathogen in both acute and recurrent UTI. In equine UTI, E coli, Streptococcus spp and Enterococcus spp predominate, while Corynebacterium renale and E coli are the most common pathogens in ruminant infections. In dogs and cats, UTI are caused by more than one pathogen ∼30% of the time. In immunocompromised patients, funguria from Candida spp may be seen.
Antimicrobials are the cornerstone of UTI therapy, and many animals with recurring UTI are managed empirically with repeated courses (see Drugs Commonly Used to Treat Urinary Tract Infections in Small Animals). This approach fails if the underlying pathophysiology predisposing the animal to the UTI is not addressed; as well, it encourages the development of resistant bacteria. With chronic UTI from highly resistant bacteria, therapeutic options are extremely limited.

Upon presentation for a UTI, many veterinary patients are started on empirical antimicrobial therapy without urine culture results. This practice is not recommended because it is impossible to predict the causative pathogen or the antimicrobial that will be most effective.
High urine concentrations of antimicrobials are correlated with efficacy in the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis. But in complicated cases and in pyelonephritis, tissue concentrations may be equally important. Most antimicrobials undergo renal elimination to a great extent, so urine concentrations may be up to 100x peak plasma concentrations. Drug excretion through the kidney involves various processes such as secretion and/or reabsorption in different parts of the nephron depending on the molecular structure of the drug, its pKa, the pH in the tubular fluid, and degree of protein binding. The flow of urine through the urinary tract is part of the defense against invading pathogens, because the flow of fluid rinses the epithelial linings. High urine antimicrobial concentrations are important for eradication of bacteria in the urine, but for infection of the bladder wall or renal tissue it is necessary to use antimicrobials that have active concentrations in the tissues. Serum or plasma concentrations are useful surrogate markers for antimicrobial concentrations in the renal or bladder tissues.
In addition to having the appropriate antimicrobial activity and achieving effective concentrations in urine, the selected anti-microbial should be easy for clients to administer, have few adverse effects, and be relatively inexpensive. Once urine culture and sensitivity results are known, the bacterial MIC can be compared to the mean urinary concentration of the drug and an appropriate antimicrobial chosen.
Amoxicillin and ampicillin are bactericidal and relatively nontoxic, with a spectrum of antibacterial activity greater than that of penicillin G. They have excellent activity against staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, and Proteus, and may achieve urinary concentrations high enough to be effective against E coli and Klebsiella. Pseudomonas and Enterobacter are resistant. Amoxicillin is more bioavailable in dogs and cats (better absorbed from the GI tract) than ampicillin, hence the lower dosage. Absorption of ampicillin is also affected by feeding, so therapeutic success may be easier to achieve with amoxicillin. As penicillins, they are weak acids with a low volume of distribution, so they do not achieve therapeutic concentrations in prostatic fluid of dogs or accessory sex glands of large animals.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid has an increased spectrum of activity against gram-negative bacteria due to the presence of clavulanic acid. Clavulanic acid irreversibly binds to β-lactamases, allowing the amoxicillin fraction to interact with the bacterial pathogen. This combination usually has excellent bactericidal activity against β-lactamase producing staphylococci, E coli, and Klebsiella. Pseudomonas and Enterobacter remain resistant. However, clavulanic acid undergoes some hepatic metabolism and excretion, so much of the antimicrobial activity in the bladder may be due to the high concentrations of amoxicillin achieved in urine. Thus, despite an unfavorable susceptibility report for amoxicillin, clinically it may be as effective as amoxicillin/clavulanic acid in treating UTI.
Cefadroxil and cephalexin are first-generation cephalosporins. Cefadroxil is the veterinary-labeled suspension product, while cephalexin is a human formulation available as tablets or as a suspension. Like the penicillins, they are bactericidal, acidic drugs with a low volume of distribution and are relatively nontoxic. Vomiting and other GI signs may occur in dogs and cats treated with cephalosporins. Cephalosporins have greater stability to β-lactamases than penicillins, so they have greater activity against staphylococci and gram-negative bacteria. They have excellent activity against Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp, E coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella. Pseudomonas, enterococci, and Enterobacter are resistant.
Cefovecin is an injectable third-generation cephalosporin approved for the treatment of UTI due to E coli and Proteus. With SC dosing, therapeutic concentrations are achieved for 14 days, making this an attractive treatment choice for fractious animals.
Cefpodoxime is an oral third-generation cephalosporin approved for use in dogs in the USA for skin infections (wounds and abscesses), but it is used extra-label for the treatment of canine UTI. Cefpodoxime has a relatively long half-life in dogs, so it is dosed once daily.
Ceftiofur is an injectable cephalosporin approved for respiratory disease in horses and cattle and for treatment of canine UTI caused by E coli and Proteus. Ceftiofur has pharmacokinetic properties that are very different from other cephalosporins. After injection, ceftiofur is immediately metabolized to desfuroylceftiofur, which has different antimicrobial activity than the parent compound. Desfuroylceftiofur has equivalent activity to ceftiofur against E coli (MIC 4 μg/mL), but is much less active against Staphylococcus spp and has variable activity against Proteus (MIC 0.5–16 μg/mL). Due to instability of desfuroylceftiofur, microbiology services use a ceftiofur disk when performing susceptibility testing, so a false expectation of therapeutic efficacy may result for some pathogens. Pseudomonas, enterococci, and Enterobacter spp are resistant to ceftiofur and desfuroylceftiofur. Ceftiofur is associated with a duration- and dose-related thrombocytopenia and anemia in dogs, which would not be expected with the recommended dosage regimen.
Enrofloxacin, orbifloxacin, difloxacin, and marbofloxacin are all fluoroquinolones approved to treat UTI in dogs; although all are used in cats, only some are approved for this use. The fluoroquinolones are bactericidal, amphoteric drugs. They possess acidic and basic properties but are very lipid soluble at physiologic pH (pH 6.0–8.0) and thus have a high volume of distribution. All fluoroquinolone drugs usually have excellent activity against staphylococci and gram-negative bacteria, but they may have variable activity against streptococci and enterococci. The therapeutic advantages of these drugs are their gram-negative antimicrobial activity and high degree of lipid solubility. They are the only orally administered antimicrobials effective against Pseudomonas. Therefore, fluoroquinolones should be reserved for UTI that involve gram-negative bacteria, especially Pseudomonas, and for UTI in intact male dogs because of their excellent penetration into the prostate gland and activity in abscesses. They are concentration-dependent killers with a long post-antibiotic effect, so once daily, high-dose therapy for a relatively short duration of treatment is effective.
Fluoroquinolones should be avoided for chronic, low-dose therapy, as this encourages the emergence of resistant bacteria that are cross-resistant to other antimicrobial drugs as well. Cases that involve Pseudomonas should be carefully investigated for underlying pathology, which must corrected if at all possible. Once Pseudomonas spp become resistant to the fluoroquinolones, there are no other therapeutic options that are convenient for the animal and client.
Gentamicin and the other aminoglycosides are very large polar (water soluble) molecules, so they have a low volume of distribution and do not penetrate the blood-prostate barrier. They are not absorbed orally and must be given by SC, IM, or IV injection. The aminoglycosides have a similar spectrum of activity to that of the fluoroquinolones, but their use for UTI is limited because of the necessity of parenteral injections and the risk of toxicity with anything but short-term use. Like the fluoroquino-lones, the aminoglycosides are concentration-dependent, bactericidal killers with a long post-antibiotic effect, so once-daily therapy of short duration is effective and minimizes the risk of nephrotoxicity. They can be considered for in-hospital or outpatient treatment of UTI due to fluoroquinolone-resistant pathogens; however, the importance of identifying and correcting underlying pathology must be emphasized.
Nitrofurantoin is a human product available as tablets, capsules, and a pediatric suspension. It is not commonly used in veterinary medicine. It is typically only used for treatment of UTI in people, as it has a very low volume of distribution and therapeutic concentrations are attained only in urine. It is used for infections caused by E coli, enterococci, staphylococci, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter. Resistance to nitrofurantoin does not confer resistance to other antimicrobials. However, the need for multiple daily dosing makes it inconvenient for clients to use.
Tetracyclines are bacteriostatic, amphoteric drugs with a high volume of distribution. Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antimicrobials, but because of plasmid-mediated resistance, susceptibility is variable in staphylococci, enterococci, Enterobacter, E coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus. In most tissues, Pseudomonas spp are resistant. However, the tetracyclines are excreted unchanged in urine, so high urinary concentrations may result in therapeutic efficacy. Doxycycline is a very lipid-soluble tetracycline that is better tolerated in cats and reaches therapeutic concentrations in the prostate, so it may be useful for some UTI. If capsules are administered, it is critical to have the animal drink afterwards to ensure passage into the stomach. If capsules remain in the esophagus, severe local necrosis with subsequent esophageal stricture can occur.
Trimethoprim/sulfonamides (TMP/sulfas) are combinations of 2 very different drugs that act synergistically on different steps in the bacterial folic acid pathway. Trimethoprim is a bacteriostatic, basic drug that has a high volume of distribution and a short elimination half-life, while the sulfonamides are bacteriostatic, acidic drugs with a medium volume of distribution and long half-lives (ranging from 6 to >24 hr). These drugs are formulated in a 1:5 ratio of TMP to sulfa, although the optimal bactericidal concentration is a ratio of 1:20 TMP:sulfa. Microbiology services use the 1:20 ratio in susceptibility testing, however the widely varying pharmacokinetic properties of this drug combination make it difficult to determine a therapeutic regimen that achieves the 1:20 ratio at the infection site. Although the combination does penetrate the blood-prostate barrier, sulfa drugs are ineffective in purulent material because of freely available para-aminobenzoic acid from dead neutrophils. The combination of TMP/sulfa is synergistic and bactericidal against staphylococci, streptococci, E coli, and Proteus. Activity against enterococci and Klebsiella is variable, and Pseudomonas is resistant. TMP/sulfas are associated with a number of adverse effects, and chronic low-dose therapy may result in bone marrow suppression and keratoconjunctivitis sicca in dogs.
Therapy for a UTI is usually recommended for 7–21 days, depending on the animal (eg, intact vs neutered male dog), activity of the antimicrobial and concentration attained in the urine, and the relationship of patient pathology and pathogen virulence. The fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides are generally effective with a short course of therapy, while the antimicrobials with time-dependent killing activity usually require a more prolonged course. Dogs with prostatitis or animals with complicating pathology (eg, pyelonephritis, cystic calculi) require 4–6 wk of treatment for microbiologic cure. For dogs, antimicrobials should be administered just before bedtime or confinement, in order to maintain high urine concentrations for the longest possible time.
A followup urine culture should be performed after 4–7 days, while the animal is still on therapy, to determine antimicrobial efficacy. If the same or a different pathogen is observed, then an alternative therapy should be chosen and the culture repeated again after 4–7 days. Urine should also be cultured 7–10 days after completing antimicrobial therapy to determine if the UTI is cured or has recurred.
If episodes occur only once or twice yearly, each may be treated as an acute, uncomplicated UTI. If they occur more often, and predisposing causes of UTI cannot be identified or corrected, chronic low-dose therapy may be necessary to manage the patient. Low antimicrobial concentrations in the urine may interfere with fimbriae production by some pathogens and prevent their adhesion to the uroepithelium.
Recurrent UTI are due to a different strain or species of bacteria ~80% of the time; therefore, antimicrobial culture and susceptibility testing is still indicated. Initiate therapy as before; then, when urine culture is negative, continue antimicrobial therapy sid at ⅓ of the total daily dose. The antimicrobial should be administered at night to maximize antimicrobial concentration in the bladder. Appropriate antimicrobials for chronic, low-dose therapy include amoxicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, doxycycline, cephalexin, cefadroxil, cefpodoxime, and cefovecin. A trimethoprim/sulfa can be used in dogs, but folate supplementation should be provided (15 mg/kg, bid) to prevent bone marrow suppression, and there is a risk of keratoconjunctivitis sicca developing with chronic use. During chronic therapy, urine culture should be repeated every 4–6 wk. As long as the culture is negative, therapy is continued for 6 mo. If bacteriuria occurs, the infection is treated as an acute episode with an appropriate antimicrobial. After 6 mo of bacteria-free urine, the chronic low-dose antimicrobial therapy may be discontinued, and many animals will not have additional recurrences. In some cases, chronic therapy may be continued for years in patients with recurrent UTI.
Although most UTI respond readily to initial antimicrobial therapy, some animals do not respond or suffer recurrent episodes. A therapeutic failure may be due to a relapse or a reinfection. Relapses are recurrences of the UTI due to the same species of bacteria shortly after discontinuing antimicrobial therapy. Reasons for relapses include inappropriate antimicrobial choice, development of bacterial resistance, a mixed UTI in which all organisms were not eliminated, an inadequate dosage regimen (dose, duration, or frequency), or poor client adherence to the treatment regimen. In cases with sequestered infections, such as prostatitis or pyelonephritis, an appropriate antimicrobial may fail to reach adequate tissue concentrations.
Reinfections are recurrent infections caused by different species of bacteria than previously involved in the UTI. Reasons for reinfection include impaired bacteriostatic nature of urine (eg, glucosuria), disruption of the uroepithelial barrier, reduced immunocompetence, altered urethral function or structure, and urinary retention. If these problems cannot be corrected, chronic antimicrobial therapy is required to prevent further episodes of UTI. Following cessation of antimicrobial therapy, reinfections usually occur at a longer interval than relapses.

Deep Purple Tulip Capri - BEBE SPORT
Thin material
I tried on these capris and matching tank in the store because I loved the style and beautiful orchid color. However, the capris fit tight around my calves and the material is sooo so thin! Not warm for jogging outside. The old material was so much better. I hope bebe sport brings it back before I have to stop buying which would be unfortunate because bbsp has the best styles!!
February 22, 2013
Fabric so cheap
Purchased this Capri set with matching jacket and was very excited for the new color. Sadly when I received them, the material is so thin and cheap! Was very happy with the old sport material!
February 20, 2013
Beautiful color
The color is nice but the material is way too thin. Sadly i cannot return this item since i had it ship to South America, and what's heartbreaking is that i bought five other pieces of bebe sportswear made of the same material.

About TheBlueSuede88's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've had a strong passion for 50s cars and the traditional style. I'm into how things really were rather than someone else's modern rendition of the late '50s/early '60s. It wasn't cry baby dolls against fenders or fake plastic food on trays. I'm into the kustom scene, and the East Coast scene: spiral wrap, angel hair displays, etc. I don't identify with the street scene much, the GTOs or the Beatles. But. I have respect! It doesn't matter what ride you have or how you fix it up, it's just what you get out of it that matters most.
My first car
1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham 4 door sedan v8 307 200r4 transmission 4 speed automatic overdrive
Car clubs I'm in
Silhouettes CC: Kustoms And Hot Rods
- Type of racing: I don't identify with racing
- Driver: Leland Kangus
- Driving song: Walk Don't Run, and Bad To The Bone, as well as various songs by A Shoreline Dream

I'm not sure how to link from a post to a layout in the gallery. It's years since I did it and have forgotten. I'll have a go here and see if it works. I've found a fab LO for scraplifting, it's called 7th Birthday by webdesignmom: http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com...birthday71.jpg
I did it - after several attempts!
I opened another browser window for the gallery and found a suitable LO.
I right clicked on it and then clicked on 'copy image location'
I clicked on the link icon (the one with a globe and piece of chain) above my message box; pressed CTRL V to insert the image's location.
I posted my reply and the link came up in red, as shown above.
I typed these instructions for myself - and to save you having to respond to my problem, and of course it can by others needing the same info.
I was quite surprised that this topic wasn't covered in the GDS FAQs - unless I missed it!
Bye, happy scrapping. Luv, Monica

Beethoven, 13 - 08021 Barcelona (España)
Tel.: 34 93 201 87 33 - Fax.: 34 93 202 33 06
SOLER y LLACH Subastas Internacionales, S.A. was founded in October 1989 by two families closely linked to the world of collecting: Filatelia Llach and Filatelia Soler.
Filatelia Llach was created by Eugeni Llach in Havana at the end of 1915. Today's third generation is the guarantee of its unarguable professionalism.
It publishes its traditional catalogues of offers at a set price, catalogues of auctions by correspondence and presence on the Internet through its website.
Filatelia Soler was founded in 1975. The great ability and enthusiasm of the Soler brothers, Josep y Ramón, placed the company at the head of the philatelic sector. In 1989, Mauricio Sisó and the Soler brothers created Áureo, a numismatic auction house which, in a short period of time, took over the leadership of the market in coin collecting.
SOLER y LLACH initially specialised in stamp auctions with an international projection.
In 1995, it opened the Department of old books, manuscripts, engravings and maps. In February 2001, it carried out the first exclusive auction of posters in Spain; in June 2003 the first exclusive of "film programmes" and in March 2006, the first exclusive of photographs.
At present, the company, which can be found at C/ Beethoven 13 in Barcelona, is fortunate enough to have far-reaching knowledge and experience in the commercialisation of the collecting of:
Stamps, Postal History, Numismatics, Old books, Manuscripts, Maps, Engravings, Posters, Film programmes, Postcards and Photographs.
Since 2001, SOLER y LLACH has been a point of reference in collecting on the Internet. Right from the beginning, we have made an effort so that all our articles are offered withQUALITY, SERIOUSNESS AND SERVICE.
All the descriptions on this website have been made by professionals in the sector.
By request

Stadler Form "Anton" Ultrasonic Humidifier - White Model:A-001A
Stadler Form "Anton" Ultrasonic Humidifier - White
Add moisture and a modern touch to any room with the help of Stadler Form's Anton Humidifier (A-001A). Standing on metal plated feet, Anton appears to hover above the ground as he silently releases tiny droplets of water into the dry indoor air. Despite a relatively small stature, Anton is capable of hydrating rooms up to 250 sq ft with no problem, and can also spread your favorite scented oil fragrances throughout the air.
Unlike humidifiers that boil water or require distilled water to operate, ultrasonic humidifiers vibrate water at an extremely high frequency, releasing tiny droplets that form an ultra fine fog in the air. To prevent minerals and bacteria in the reservoir from contaminating the droplets, Anton is equipped with an anti-calcium cartridge and Ionic Silver Cube™. The Ionic Silver Cube™ maintains water purity in the reservoir while the anti-calcium cartridge removes minerals and calcification from the newly emitted moisture.
Easy Operation:
The user friendly control buttons are hidden on the underside of the cube however, the water level is always indicated by the stylishly designed LED lights which switch from blue to red when the tank is emptyAroma Diffusion:
Fill the room with your favorite fragrance using Anton's scented oil container. Spreading the aroma with a humidifier results in even scent distribution, unlike plug-ins or candles which often create thick, concentrated scents near the originAnti-Calcium Cartridge:
The ion exchanger in the cartridge removes minerals in the water and effectively prevents the white dust often created by ultrasonic systems and collected on nearby objects

Saturday Science Links: January 24, 2015
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Part 3 of the series "Evolution and Original Sin, by Robin Collins"
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
