Sperm re-absorption is not something that happens solely to vasectomised men - all men produce millions of sperm that do not make it to ejaculation and are reabsorbed into the body. Sperm within the testicle are immature and cannot fertilise an egg - they mature in the epididymis.
Referring to the diagrams below, basically what happens is the sperm are moved from the seminiferous tubules within the testicular structure to the epididymus for maturing and storing. They stay in the epididymus for about a month, and at the end of this time are either degenerated and absorbed, or are expelled to begin the journey up the vas deferens to the ampulla for storage prior to ejaculation. Animal studies estimate that 40%–50% of sperm produced are reabsorbed before they reach the vas deferens.
When some obstruction to sperm exiting the epididymus occurs, a "Compensatory action" happens to avoid permanent testicular dysfunction. Obstruction does not necessarily mean vasectomy - various medical conditions may cause temporary or permanent obstruction.
In the case of vasectomy, initially, the diameter of the ducts increases 2 to 4 times their original size to counteract the increase in fluid pressure, and fluid absorption is increased, particularly in the efferent ducts, where 90% of excess fluid is reabsorbed. This, and other changes seem to delay significant problems, but due to the ongoing production of sperm, further alterations often take place to avoid permanent testicular dysfunction.
Post-vasectomy, the level of macrophages will increase within the epididymus. Macrophage means "big eater". Macrophages are white blood cells that crawl around in the extracellular fluids of your body and gobble up microbes and other foreign material. They ingest these microbes by phagocytosis ("cell eating"). Parts of the cell surround the particle to be eaten, then the macrophage's membrane flows together and the particle ends up inside.
3 months after vasectomy the number of macrophages laden with phagocytized sperm had drastically increased throughout the epididymis. the task of reabsorbing the sperm over-whelms the epithelial cells (the usual method of re-absorption) and more macrophages are recruited from the circulation to aid in their digestion and clearance.
Testicle and Epididymus |
Cross-section 1 |
Cross-section 2 |
To explain the diagrams
The epididymis is an extensively coiled tubular organ attached to
the posterior surface of the testis. If you uncoiled it, you
would end up with one tube about 5-6 m (about 17 ft) long!
Cross-section 1 and Cross section
2 are of the epididymus. Although
the pictures give the impression you are looking at several
epidydimal ducts, what you see a cross section of one highly
convoluted duct. Cross section
2 is a magnification of
Cross section 1.
The duct is lined with tall columnar epithelium with prominant Stereocilia.
Basically, this is a sheet-like lining
entirely devoid of blood vessels, but rich in nerve endings. In
the epididymus the epithelium is "columnar". This means it's not
a flat surface, but highly textured and looks a little like the
texture or a brush under magnification. This extends dramatically
the surface area available. Cross
section 2 shows the brush like
texture of the inner surface of the duct.
The stereocilia are actually extremely
long microvilli (finger-like extensions) covering the free
surface of the epithelial cells. As in the columnar structure of
the epithelium, this allows a tremendous increase in surface area
of the cell for absorption or secretion. Stereocilia are not able
to move in the powerful manner characteristic of true cilia.
'Stereo-' means firmly attached or in other words non-motile.
They occur only in two places - here in the epididymal duct, and
in the inner ear.

Welcome to Gospel, Idaho where everyone knows that there are two universal truths. First, God did His best work when He created the Sawtooth Wilderness Area. Second, every sin known to heaven and earth -- from the hole in the ozone to alien abductions -- is all California's fault.
This is the story of what happened when a Californian came to visit...
L.A. based tabloid reporter Hope Spencer has come to Gospel hoping for inspiration. Well, she gets inspiration...Hope has never met anyone quite like the resident of Gospel. From the Dean sisters with their color-coordinated hair to the toilet-tossing sportsmen...to the murder victim whose body had been found in her house years before. She discovers that really is stranger than fiction -- even tabloid fiction!
And then there is local sheriff Dylan Taber. He is no made-up character from one of her stories. Dylan is all too real...and soon Hope is forced to face the awful truth -- she's been too long without a man. But once she gets wind of a Hollywood actress somehow mixed up Dylan's life, Hope realizes that if they are to have a furture together, he has some true confessing to do.

Working Mom Cleaning & Chore Schedule
It's probably not something I should admit out loud or to everyone that follows or stumbles upon this blog but I'm going to anyway. My house is founkey. Yes, that's my way of saying it's super funky. I'm talking dirty, dusty, sticky, smelly, stinky. I know in my previous post I talk about embracing your dirty floors and dusty shelves for that oh so precious time with your little ones, but I may have taken that a bit far recently. I mean when your husband (who I believe washed his sheets yearly in college = supa founkey), starts to comment on the cleanliness of your abode…. that might be a sign that it's time to scrub this joint down.
Jen over at iheartorganizing also got me jazzed up to do some cleanin' with her May Mini Challenge. I absolutely adore her homemade cleaners and tips for organizing it all – featured below:
As much as I would love the time to make my own cleaners and keep this place spotless – my life reminds me that it just aint gonna happen. In fact, the lack of time from working full-time + the joy I'm having using my spare time to play with my sweet baby boy is what got this place in it's current state of founkeyness (if you haven't already, say it out loud, it's fun!). So I decided to take some of Jen's cleaning tips and apply them where possible, with the hope that it will save me time down the road because let's be honest, there are about a million and two things I'd rather be doing than scrubbing you know what off you know where.
First things first, I had to get my cleaning supplies hoarding under control. With three sinks in this house, it seemed easier to just get three of each cleaner and distribute evenly, however when you run out of one and forget to restock, you're forced to run back and forth, thus adding more time to an already sucky chore. So to nip this in the bud, I began by taking stock of what I had:
And then I pared it down to one of each of everything that I really needed for this traveling caddy. I keep kitchen cleaners and such under the kitchen sink, so this caddy is more for cleaning bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas.
Here's what's in my handy-dandy caddy:
- - Pledge Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner + Microfiber cloth: I mostly just use for dusting furniture
- - Windex + Paper towels: Mirrors and granite countertops for a little sparkle
- - Lysol wipes: Countertops, faucets, toilet seats
- - Lysol Power & Free Bathroom Cleaner: Toilets, tubs and sinks. I LOVE this stuff. Lysol claims it has more cleaning power than bleach without the harshness and I believe it. It smells wonderful too. I debated using it to get this horrible spray tan off me but the warning label made me think twice.
- - Lysol Disinfectant Spray: I hose the house down with this stuff often. From door knobs to sofas, this stuffs kills the germs and freshens the room. In linking to the site, I saw they have a new scent for Baby's Room. Anyone tried this? Does it smell better than the original?
- - Scrubbing Bubbles: Does wonders for my glass shower door.
- - Sponges and scrubbers
So with my caddy all ready to get down and dirty, Jer and I spent Saturday cleaning the snot out of this house and it literally took hours. It really got me thinking – how can I do little bitty chores (I'm talking less than 10-20 minutes) throughout the week so that I don't have to spend my precious weekends cleaning all day? So I created {drum roll please}… a Working Mama Cleaning Schedule:
Download Customizable Cleaning Schedule Here
As much as I'd love to have a spotless house everyday, that's simply not possible with my life, but I think this schedule is totally doable. There are the basics that just have to get done everyday like making beds and cleaning up after dinner but then there are the larger chores like cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming floors that will get done throughout the week. Since everyone's schedules are different I included a link above to download the word doc version of this schedule and make it your own.
Got any working mama tips for keeping a clean house?! Would love to hear em'!
Peace Out Perfection
I had a bit of an epiphany last week, as Jer, Dylan and I were recovering from the bubonic plague (on the forreals, I'm pretty sure we had the norovirus…) and a horrible cold. This 2 week sickness got my "balance" all out of wack. You know what I'm talking about, right? That balance you feel when you're giving work, home, the fam, friends, etc. just the right amount of yourself to keep everything and everyone chugging along and happy. Then when one gets way off it just all comes crashing down, leaving 6 piles of laundry, 100+ unread emails, no food in the house, and you taking your kid to daycare dressed for "wacky day" when it.isn't.dress.wacky.day.yet. True story.
Ok, back to my epiphany. So as I started getting my life and house back in order, I realized that I'm just way too frumpy and unhappy when things aren't "perfect". I seem to not be able to relax at home these days unless everything is clean and in it's place… which yes, means I never really relax, which yes, is extremely exhausting. So I've decided enough with that. I'm done. I'm throwing in the towel on perfection, because it's just not obtainable and is something if I start chasing, I'll always chase.
I absolutely still recommend putting in the hard work of getting yourself, your life and your home organized, because it will instantly make you feel lighter and happier but I guess what I'm saying here is let's let go of pursing "spotless" and make a little room for the dust bunnies, dirty windows, frozen pizzas and blog typos. When we're old women, will we remember our spotless homes or will we remember the times we spent tickling bellies to extract that oh-so-sweet baby giggle or the way their sweet baby breath smelled when they slept on our chests during their naptime, instead of their crib (so that we could get laundry or dusting done).
I still have a lot of work ahead of me to really master this way of thinking but recently came across a new book, "No More Perfect Moms" by Jill Savage, that I'm hoping with help me along this journey. I saw this quote on the review and was instantly hooked: "While we're pursuing perfection, we're missing out on the most precious parts of life: the laughter of silliness, the joy of spontaneity, the lessons found in failure, and the freedom found in grace."
I also love that this book is faith based, since in "my book" (pun intended!) there is only one form of true perfection and it's through Him that I have this amazing life.
As I always do, I've been collecting some inspiration on Pinterest to help me with this new state of mind. I'm thinking one of these might need some prime wall real estate to keep me honest:
The Morning Marathon
I've been trying to think of a good excuse to give you guys for why I haven't blogged and responded to comments in over 4 months, but then I realized that you probably already know why: I'm a new mama with absolutely no clue what I'm doing who also happens to work full time and then some. My "me-time" has consisted of scrubbing poop off baby clothes, cleaning bottles and pump parts and picking up toys from every square inch of my house. On the forreals though, you should've seen how grown out my highlights were… I literally had a thought the other day about many more months it would take for them to be considered "ombre"…. so sad. To my credit, I am learning to get out more and really dedicate some time to myself, but with working full time, I feel guilty when I don't spend my time off with/around Dylan. I think every working mama can relate to this, so would love to hear how you guys have dealt with this.
OK, OK…enough sap story for one post. Although I've clearly still got some baby-mama-drama to work out, I have made great progress over the past few months in organizing all this craziness. I get a laugh at reading through my old posts as I was nesting and I'm guessing you experienced mama's did too – I clearly had no clue what I was about to get into. Organizing everything pre-baby definitely, absolutely, totally helped me but instead of cleaning every closet in this joint, I should've spent more time doing nothing… because gone are those days, friends.
And although I tried to plan ahead and organize for the future, I soooo wasn't prepared for the "morning marathon". Hell, I've been back at work for over 4 months now and I'm still getting use to it. Getting me ready, getting D ready, feeding D, getting D ready again after he poops/pukes on himself, getting me ready again after D pukes on my outfit, making bottles, loading 6 bags in the car and then heading off to daycare and work… all before a cup of coffee is mother.truckin'.work.
So a couple Sundays ago, I declared that I'd spend 30 minutes "prepping" for the week. I thought about everything that slows me down in the morning and realized that it really revolved around outfits and getting both D and I ready. So while putting away laundry like I typically do on Sunday, I spent a few minutes picking out 5 outfits for both Dylan and I. Since Dylan doesn't really wear shoes yet, I thought his hanging shoe organizer would be the perfect way to organize his outfits for the week as there is a cubby for each day of the work week, plus one for weekend outfits. Since I store his tops and bottoms in separate drawers of his dresser, this has been such a time saver. It has also really helped ensure Jer doesn't dress Dylan like a freak. It happens…
So I applied the same system in my closet, but there was absolutely no way I could give up one inch of my shoe storage… gotta little problem in that department. Instead, I simply picked out 5 outfits and slipped a little cord tag that I labeled with the day of the week around the hangers. I LOVE these cord tags from Martha Stewart…that lady knows a thing or two.
Since I've started doing this, weekday mornings have been soooo much easier and it's also been super helpful in ensuring that the outfits below never happen again… #dorks
PS: please excuse typos and sentences that don't make any sense. Still working through post-baby-fuzziness.
Hidden Baby Storage
It's fall around here y'all and as soon as the pumpkin spice lattes and Yankee candles hit the shelves, I go goo goo about decorating with leaves, sticks, pumpkins and pretty much anything with an orangish, brownish, yellowish hue. However, we've had a lot of super colorful baby stuff laying around and I've recently learned that the only thing "baby" that goes with my beloved fall color scheme, is well… quite stinky. And yes… I totally understand that scattered colorful toys comes with all that sweet baby goodness but until our playroom is complete I've desperately needed a way to tame my inner OCD clean freak and somehow conceal the chaos unraveling in our living room.
So by looking at the picture below, would you guess I also have all of Dylan's supplies and toys we keep downstairs somewhere?
Yep, it's all neatly tucked away in that pie safe cabinet! I absolutely love this solution because it allows me to seasonally decorate the top of the cabinet, while using the drawers and shelves for oodles of storage. And you're probably asking yourself "why is this crazy chick storing baby stuff in her dining room? but it actually makes perfect sense with our downstairs floor plan, which is almost completely open. The pack-in-play changing table separates the living room (where we play) from the kitchen/breakfast nook.
So in the left drawer I decided to make a home for all the small baby stuff – pacifiers, bibs (which Jer calls capes?!), extra mini bottles of hand sanitizers for his diaper bag, and misc. carseat/highchair parts.
In the right drawer, I have a few burp clothes, receiving blankets and a few outfits in case when we have a poopisodes downstairs.
I know the stuff in the top shelf bins will change as Dylan gets older but right now I'm storing his bath supplies, diapers and wipes in them. Again, since this cabinet is so close to the kitchen (where we bathe him) it's perfect for storing his towels, soaps, etc. and since it's also so close to where we change him while downstairs, it makes the perfect spot for extra diapers & wipes.
On the bottom shelf, I just have a few toys. Dylan is only 12 weeks, so I totally know this will overflow with toys in no time… but until he needs more than his hands for entertainment, it works!
So how are you guys storing/hiding all those toys and baby butt stuff?
And I just have to leave you with this. Happy Fall y'all from my punkin to yours!

Prehistoric Man Had Much Healthier Teeth and Gums than Modern Humans
Submitted by Bob-45 on Fri, 03/01/2013 - 18:59Posted on February 28, 2013 by WashingtonsBlog
The REAL Source of Cavities and Gum Disease
Our modern stereotype is that – until recently – people were plagued with rotting teeth, cavities and gum disease.
But the truth is that prehistoric people had much better oral health than we do today.
As NPR reports:
Prehistoric humans didn't have toothbrushes. They didn't have floss or toothpaste, and they certainly didn't have Listerine. Yet somehow, their mouths were a lot healthier than ours are today.

For more info on the subject of intestinal flora, read Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. It is an amazing book. It appears to be catching on because she is the first one I know of who has put all the pieces of the puzzle together(the pieces we know of anyway) and this article repeats verbatim much of her book. She cured her son of autism.
In short, humans are not meant to eat refined sugars or grains. They feed pathogens in the gut (and mouth apparently) which affect every vital system of our bodies. A proper (paleo-type) diet and cultured fermented foods will cure the body of auto-immune disorder.
Thank you for posting this article. It is extremely important.

Damn black clouds this evening. Damn! Have been running but very sore Achilles and rather upset tummy not helping. Nice afternoon with the kids too. Guess you can't predict it's arrival. I think I preferred the night sweats and hot flushes phase
boo to black clouds - hateful things!
yippee to mad Russions, swimming lessons, orienteering (with being zipped) and super speedy RB
oops forgot to say thanks for tips about wetties, not looked at clip yet JT. Will defo try and get some swim coachingand give you a shout if I can't get something locally.
Did 17 miles on new bike yesterday and took10% off previous time followed by a 8 'mile hilly run in the evening. That counts as a double day doesn't it??!
ha ha, well remember the jelly legs thing from the one and only duathlon I did, kept chanting to myself 'just keep moving' in the hope that they would!!
Fab training that sounds to me Camlo
Boo to the black clouds - beastly things that they are, and dodgy Achilles too MM, but loved the comment on FB about your hubby cleaning toilets!!
Lazier day for us today - the excitement of a trip to Tesco this morning ... wow, an informal tennis lesson for S at lunchtime, and I have a friend sitting for me tonight so I can do a nice 'race' up to our local viewpoint. 5km road uphill all the way, certainly won't be racing it for sure!!! Treating it as an opportunity for some hill training.
3weeks?? That sounds a tad excessive.........
Perhaps not move your car JT, they should shift theirs if they are already inconveniencing everyone! I'd be pretty cross about the dust too, why is it taking so long?
We seem to have summer colds all of a sudden. I thought Benedict was just teething but Aidan and I seem to have it too and I'm pretty sure I have all my teeth, as does Aidan. We are meant to be going to Hereford tomorrow for the weekend and they will be really chuffed if we bring lurgy with us!!
So annoying JT! Hope it's not aggravating your asthma.
Well done RB, 3 seconds!
Just enjoying a boozy anniversary night in with hubby (I'm on the tea now!) - Tesco curry takeaway and fizzy rosé . Italian meal out tomorrow night - still debating whether to get a taxi or one of us drive!
Had a particularly annoying day with family trying to organise a holiday that my mum wants to pay for for all of us. I have suggested a Christmas get-together as we are all spread around the country, and was on the verge of booking it when my brother and now one of my sisters has come in with a totally negative view of the whole thing. Not a good time of the month to be winding me up either
On a positive note, a friend shared a link for 5 riding lessons for £25 the other day so I decided to buy one for Sophie, she had her first lesson today and loved it! I love riding too so I am very pleased to see my little girl taking it up too . They went on a little half hour hack (on leading rein) so me and Nicky followed and we had a nice little walk together too - a whole half hour with no whingeing!
York 10k on Sunday - really want to crack an hour again. 1hr 55 on my last race so not far off. I managed to get a pb at the parkrun on Sat despite only turning up about 3 mins before the start - oops! 31:48 so still pretty slow really but I'm slowly improving.
Sorry to anyone I've missed, have been reading but head to foggy with rosé right now
*too foggy (not that foggy!)
Boo to black clouds, dust, etc. but lots of good stuff too for a change - great running, swimming (go M!), new wetsuits, PBs, anniversaries and riding lessons.
All ok here. I'm so glad I stopped work earlier this pregnancy (& resigned!) as I've felt heaps better physically even with the heat. But things are a bit hectic/stressful as wan accepted an offer on our London house so if it all works out we will be leaving Londonat the end of September - 9 days before my c section! We haven't got anywhere to move to yet so it looks like we will have to put our stuff in storage and live with my parents for a bit. That might be ok as I've heard you can't do much for a few wks after Caesarian. But not indefinitely! And golly, moving/selling houses is stressful! I've never sold a house before and I'm paranoid they will change their minds!
Missing exercise badly at the mo for stress relief. Doing loads of walking and cleaning and stuff so I'm active but it's not the same as a run!
I'm off...... I may be some time....
going to Yorkshire to climb the 3 peaks tomorrow.
But hopefully you'll be back Camlo!
Enjoy yorkshire
We're off to France Sun evening. Still have sooooo much packing and organising to do.
Ohh good luck Camlo. I did that once many moons ago!
The surgery went well and I am recovering pretty well. It's less painful and I'm more mobile than I thought I would be. Still pretty sore though and have to be very strict about not bending or lifting for ages. Luckily hubby is being great at the moment
Wishing you a speedy recovery Hoggle
So I'm very impressed with Happy Little Soles who Vixo told us about - I was looking on there for school shoes for M, but procrastinating and never got round to buying them while they were on sale. Plus I only had her feet measured this wk, and I didn't trust myself to do it properly so wanted a professional to do it as well before spending £40 on shoes! So once I'd finally confirmed what size I wanted I then googled them and found them a bit cheaper on another website, so I e mailed Happy Little Soles, and told them I'd found them cheaper so would they sell them to me at the sale price - and they said yes! And then I cheekily asked if they would mind not posting them for 10 days as we're going on holiday, so they're hanging onto them for a couple of wks for me. That's what I call good customer service.
wow Hoggle, fingers crossed, hope you heal speedily and well!!
JT - I would be absolutely FUMING with all of that, what a nightmare
Hope you are having fun Camlo, and it's a bit less breezy there than it is here at the moment!
Au revoir all - see you in 2 wks!
Bonnes vacances Caro!
59:47 for me at York 10k - yippee! First time under an hour since before Sophie was born, very pleased! Nice flat route, loads of people (it's a Jane Tomlinson race) but enough room and I felt good most of the way round really. Had to keep pushing in the last couple of km (did 5k in 29omething so wasn't going to lose out on a sub-hour 10k!), then didn't see the 9k marker so didn't speed up till I saw the finish. Feeling very virtuous .
Camlo - enjoy the Peaks! Give me a wave if you pass Sheffield .
Hoggle - great that the op wasn't as bad as you thought. Fingers crossed you'll be back to normal in no time.
yippppeeeee I have peaked, not once, not twice but a whopping 3 times!!!
Left the house at 4:45 to drive to the start and signed out at 7:15. Walking in group of 4 but actually felt like I was walking in a group of about 100 as there were so many forming a stream up the 1st hill to penygent. Had to scramble a bit to reach the peak by 8:15 (good start). Few bits of rain but not enough to worry us as we picked our way down and then marched the 8 or so miles to the butty van for a bacon roll. Seemed to take an age and i was concerned that we were falling behind schedule. Long, long climb onto the top of wernside which was blowing a gale and then very steep descent into the valley and another tea. Thankfully eldest had taken the rucksack off me at the top of wernside as it had been digging into my back so I felt a bit lighter to climb the final peak ingle borough. Mad scramble with scary bits but the view from the top was amazing and we could see the sea at Blackpool! I knew it was a good way back to the car but I hadn't figured on the difficult terrain lasting nearly all the way! Ankles and hips were sore especially as I had the rucksack back..... eldest jogged the last few miles so he could have a fag and time for a call to mates. We finished in 10hr 45 and could have paid £6 for a certificate and badge but couldn't be arsed......feet were dry and not a blister in sight! ok today, bit stiff but nowt much. 4 hour drive home today but then had 10mins on my new vibration/ power plate - not sure if it is garbage but think it helped ease the tightness?
Hoggle - so glad the op went well. take it easy.
Boo to courier JT but yippee to PB for Joggergirl!
Enjoy all the holidays folks!
Well done Camlo! Was it a specific 3 peaks event somewhere? I did the traditional 3 Peaks many years ago (not the race but later in the year) with some work colleagues. It was definitely an 'experience' as it turned out I was the only one who could read a compass (necessary several times in complete whiteouts!). Most of my colleagues were proper London-ites who had no experience in the outdoors (one brought a plastic rain poncho out of a packet which was interesting when it snowed at the top of Ben Nevis. I enjoyed it but we were woefully under-prepared and had such huge ability differences in the group. As I was the only one who had a clue what I was doing which was amusing when trying to convince my boss that what he thought was completely wrong and I knew better!! We spent one night in a backpackers during it as well so didn't do it in the 24 hours.
Recovery is going well. I can pretty much do everything except lift and bend excessively. So I can get down on the floor with Matilda etc. Mum has been staying which has been wonderful. I think she will go tomorrow and then next week I will go own to the farm with Matilda for 5 days to make sure I continue taking things easy.
Well done on race RF!!
Hmmm who else - did I spot on FB that it was MM's birthday? If so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
JT your neighbours sound seriously annoying!!!
no Hoggle it was the 3 peaks in Yorkshire and we just did it for ourselves. Saw lots of organised groups though (last week they had 2000 walkers in the area). back to work this morning....... already threatening the kids that I WILL get rid of the TV if they can't get dressed and breakfasted without taking their eyes off it.....

Prochlorperazine is used to treat severe nausea and vomiting. It is also used to treat symptoms of psychosis, such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and speech, and bizarre behavior. Prochlorperazine is in a class of drugs known as phenothiazines.
An animal study found that the effects of chlorpromazine, a drug similar to (perphenazine, prochlorperazine, thioridazine), were enhanced when a bacopa extract was given along with it.1 Until more is known, people taking medications from this family of drugs (called phenothiazines) should not take bacopa.

I guess happiness is what you make of it. That is what I take from it.
As David Firth himself said: "This cartoon has no meaning". & I believe in doing so; anyone of any age can derive an entirely different meaning from an entirely different perspective, regardless of the actual storyline behind it. But as for the music in the background, I'd strongly have to agree with Prov. Because I've downloaded EVERY single song off of all seven Locust Toybox albums... & I still haven't found this song! =(

Possible metaphor
I think it's a metaphor for sex there's some clues but i aint conected them all yet.
Luxembourg- The smallest country in Europe is the most popular guy - Size doesn't matter
What the pulch looks like - obvious.
The trick is in the timing - Ejaculation.
Maybe it's also about how in a relationship it's good up untill after the sex, in which intrest is lost.....i don't know.

Specsavers runs tongue-in-cheek ad on Hazard ballboy incident
Specsavers has run press and digital ads poking fun at the row over Chelsea footballer Eden Hazard kicking a ball out from under a Swansea ballboy during the Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday 23 January.
Specsavers: ad spoofs incident that occurred during Capital One Cup semi-final
The ad shows an image of a boy in a vest saying "ball boy" next to a cross, and then below it, the image of a football with a tick and then the optician's tagline, "Should've gone to Specsavers".
It was designed by Specsavers' in-house team and the campaign was planned and bought by Manning Gottlieb OMD, and is running in national newspapers and online, including through a promoted Tweet.
The print ad is running in The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, i, the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, The Sun, the Mirror and the Daily Star.The promoted Tweet is embedded with the press ad and says: "Should've gone to Specsavers #ballboy #hazard". This morning the Tweet had been retweeted more than 2,500 times and favourited more than 450 times.
The ad apes much of Specsavers' marketing which shows people making a mistake because they did not see a situation properly and then ends with the tagline: "Should've gone to Specsavers."
Specsavers has a long-standing strategy of responding to events in the news, and last year it ran an ad in Ukrainian after a referee disallowed a goal during the Euro 2012 championships in a game between England and co-hosts Ukraine.
That game also involved a Chelsea player, John Terry, who appeared to kick the ball out of goal after it had crossed the line.
During the 2012 Olympic Games, Specsavers took out a press ad based on the mix-up when the South Korean flag was mistakenly flown before a game involving their neighbours and long-standing rivals, North Korea.

I haven't been posting lately b/c I have been scrambling to get a kitchen reno done in our summer house before my husband loses all faith! I am down to my last decisions - kitchen pendants and sconces. This is a large room, about 20'x22', the kitchen area is not in this photo but the the dining table will be in front of this wall of windows that has a water view. (Older photo from this winter - we are almost done, actually!) Kitchen is white/beachy/rustic in style. The dining table will look like this, more or less: I am wallpapering that niche in the photo with this paper and putting a low chest in front of it (chest TBD): I am likely using these pendants over the kitchen island which is about 12 feet from the window: Now, if you are still reading and I haven't bored you (!), I need to select 2 pendants that hang over the dining table. They will be hung in on the ceiling from the sides of the fixed window in the middle of the 2 sliders. I want them to direct downward light for the most part b/c I don't want a lot of reflection in the glass when they are lit at night. There are also 2 sconces, not yet selected, on the side walls. Here are the options I am considering (first from Serena and Lily, and next two from Simon Pearce). Do these make sense with the beehive pendants for the island? I can't decide whether I like the white of the Serena & Lily buoy pendants (and maybe the buoys are too literal/nautical?) or the alabaster of the Simon Pearce pendants. Maybe I should keep looking?? TIA for your input! |
Follow-Up Postings:
A vote for the bottom choice #3 -- to echo the shape and feel of the kitchen pendants ..... Gorgeous place!!! Hope you will come back and post a few pics! :) |
I like the third one, as well. The bouy is too white and artificial looking with the warm and organic beehive. |
Same here, number 3 |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Thu, Jun 26, 14 at 17:51
Agree, no. 3. Like both the shape and the color. |
Excellent - thanks for the feedback. That was my first choice, but then I overthink, overthink, etc. I am at the stage where I feel like I can't make another decision.... Will post photos when it's all done - very soon!! Appliances in tomorrow, floors and cabinets done next week sometime. |
I like #2, because I love the shape and also because I don't think all the lamps have to have the same shape. Also, I LOVE that wallpaper! Who makes that, may I ask? |
kswl - thanks for weighing in! I love your taste (your new basement is simply gorgeous). I like the shape of #2 the best but worried that it would be hard to coordinate with my yet-to-be-selected sconces. But I haven't ordered anything yet..... I also worry that the alabaster color of both the Simon Pearce pendants might be wrong with my other finishes.. hmmm... We are heading down to see the house this weekend so I can evaluate. Isn't the wallpaper great? I found it on Pinterest - it's called Whitby Wallpaper, and it's made in the UK by Mini-Moderns. I couldn't find a US distributor but I found a UK distributor who helped get it to me - I only needed one roll so it wasn't a big deal. I'll post a photo when it's up! |
- Posted by grandmaof3 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 27, 14 at 13:59
Could you use the same type/style over the dining room table that you are using over the kitchen island? How far apart is the dining table and the island? |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Jun 27, 14 at 14:11
I vote Serena and Lily, I like the way the echo the others. Such cool wallpaper, btw. Feels a bit Asian |
Thanks for the wallpaper info, marinagal, and I DEF want to see that when it is up! |
Update: Our kitchen is almost done and I will post photos when it is, but..... I decided no pendants over the island and went with the Serena & Lily buoy pendants over the dining table. I love them during the day, but they illuminate differently at night b/c the ceramic material isn't consistent - am in touch with S&L to work through this. We put up the wallpaper today - I almost chickened out, not sure why - but I love it! I am looking for an antique or reclaimed pine dresser to put in the niche to hold table linens, so the piece there now is temporary. I may put up some art or a mirror in the niche as well. TBD. Funny thing - right after the paper was up I noticed that thankfully the boats are sailing toward out backyard/water view and not toward the kitchen, which would have been strange. I completely overlooked that nuance of the orientation when I ordered the paper! |
- Posted by forboystoo (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 12:58
"...thankfully the boats are sailing toward out backyard/water view and not toward the kitchen... " So funny !! I never would have thought to check the orientation. But you are so right about the direction ...... |
I love the way the wallpaper looks. As for the orientation, sometimes you make a choice for certain reasons and it turns out to be the right choice for reasons not even considered when you made the choice. |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 22:19
I love it. Looks vaguely Japanese, yet jaunty. What is the history of the niche? Did you build it? Is i just for visual interest? Oh and more pictures please! |
The pendants are perfect. Combined with the wallpapered niche, the dining room has a totally different appearance. Love it! |
LOVE that wallpaper, it somehow manages to be fun and chic at the same time! Please, more photos! |
Mtn and kswl have already said what I was going to say: love, and want to see more pics of the house! |
Beautiful. I might even look for a tall "mans" dresser to fit in the niche. There is never enough storage!! |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sat, Jul 26, 14 at 7:54
Looking good! |
Love love! That wallpaper is gorgeous and fun. I love your style Marinagal! Can't wait to see more pics! I hope S&L are able to figure something out for you. |
That looks great! The pendants are a perfect choice. |
Thanks, everyone! I found this wallpaper for my husband, who loves boating and fishing. I am trying to show him that you can have some cool coastal stuff in a house without ending up looking like the nautical aisle in Marshall's! The pendants are wonderful, I don't think they are ever going to look perfect illuminated at night but we are experimenting with different wattages and types of bulb to even out the glow. arcy - yes, I have looked at taller dressers also. I want to keep low enough that we can also use the top as a cell phone charging area. I need to hit the antique shops around here! Mtn - the niche used to be the entry to our old dining room, but we moved the entry during our reno and I decided to have a niche rather than a closet to use the space. Background on this reno: Our house here is best described as a rambling eclectic Cape house. The old dining room was a tiny converted 1940s carport that was several steps down from the large 1960s living room. From the dining room, you would step back up to the completely charming but useless kitchen which dated back to 1910 with many subsequent iterations. During our renovation we tore out the middle of the house (old kitchen and dining room) and rebuilt a large kitchen/dining room. Here is a teaser photo - literally the only angle I could shoot just now without cleaning up a lot of mess. We are still finishing aspects of the kitchen and I promise to share more photos when we are done. I am really happy with the results - we started planning in 2010.... |
Absolutely gorgeous! |

WCSI Local News | |
Seymour Police take part in 'Operation Pullover'The Seymour Police Department will participate in Operation Pullover Operating while Intoxicated (OWI) blitz starting on Friday and running through Labor Day weekend. Operation Pullover is a federally funded traffic safety initiative coordinated by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). This overtime traffic safety detail pays off duty officers with federal grant money to patrol and attempt to locate impaired drivers traveling on roads in a particular community. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the funds for the overtime enforcement. Seymour Police Captain Carl Lamb says that officers will have a zero tolerance policy for anyone driving impaired. Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be immediately be arrested and taken to jail. Law enforcement says that in 2013, there were 114 fatal crashes in Indiana that included alcohol as a component, accounting for 16-percent of all fatal crashes in the state. Capt. Lamb says that those most likely to be involved in an alcohol-related crash are between the ages of 21 and 44. While there was a 24-percent decrease in fatal collisions between 2012 and 2013, police want the number to be reduced to zero. "One life lost is too many, so we'll be out in force to locate and arrest those who make the unacceptable decision to drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs," said Captain Lamb. "If you see someone driving in a manner you suspect of being impaired, there is a very good chance, you are right," noted Captain Lamb. He continued, "Call 911 immediately and report the location, direction of travel, and description of the vehicle, as this will help officers observe the activity of the suspect and take necessary actions to prevent a possible tragedy."

I'm trying to understand the CW complex structure of the projective space $\mathbb{RP}^n$, but some things are unclear. I understand we start by identifying $\mathbb{RP}^n$ with $S^n/R$ where $R$ is the equivalence relation identifying antipodal points on the sphere. This is fine. But then $S^n/R$ is identified to $D^n/R$ with R this time restricted to the border $S^{n-1}$ of $D^n$. Here is my problem: can anybody provide an explicit map of this identification? And secondly, how can we identify this last space to the adjoint space of $\mathbb{RP}^{n-1}$ and $D^n$, in other words, how does $\mathbb{RP}^{n-1}$ becomes a (n-1) skeleton of the CW-complex from here?

The natural inclusion of the hemisphere $D^n \to S^n$ respects the relation $R$ as described. So, it induces a map $D^n/R \to S^n/R$, which is a homeomorphism. Now, consider the inclusion of the boundary $S^{n-1} \to D^n$, and see that this too respects the relation $R$, thus inducing an inclusion map $S^{n-1}/R = \mathbb R P^{n-1} \to D^n/R \cong \mathbb RP^n$. It should now be easy to see that we obtain $D^n/R \cong \mathbb RP^n$ from $\mathbb R P^{n-1}$ by attaching $D^n$ along the quotient map $S^{n-1} \to S^{n-1}/R = \mathbb RP^{n-1}$. |

Slain Ind. deputy called "figure of humanity"
1,200 attend Deputy Frank Denzinger's funeral Saturday.
The Associated Press
FLOYDS KNOBS, Ind. – A long procession of police officers, firefighters and other emergency personnel from Kentucky and Indiana filed into Floyd Central High School on Saturday morning to pay respects to fallen Floyd County Sheriff's Deputy Frank Denzinger.
Officers lined the hallway leading to the school's gymnasium and then slowly saluted as Denzinger's casket was wheeled in for the service.
Denzinger, a 1993 Floyd Central graduate, died hours after he and his partner, Deputy Joel White, were shot Monday night when a teenager fired a rife from his family's house as the officers spoke in the driveway with his mother.
Tyler Dumstorf fired a World War II sniper rifle from an upstairs window as the officers talked to his mother about an argument she had with him. Each deputy was struck once in the back. White, 27, returned fire but missed. He was hospitalized in serious condition after the shooting.
Dumstorf, 15, died afterward from a self-inflicted gunshot.
During Saturday's service, Floyd County Sheriff Darrell Mills talked about working an "Operation Seatbelt" with Denzinger and setting a goal of stopping four cars an hour.
"Frank would average four cars in two minutes," Mills said.
Michael Rowe, a brother-in-law of Denzinger, said he met the deputy 16 years ago, and they became "relatives by chance, but friends by choice.
"He loved to laugh. He loved to make people laugh," Rowe said. "He was the king of one-liners."
Rowe described Denzinger as a perfect uncle, who loved to play with his six nephews.
"He was a big guy, but he was a teddy bear when he got around his nephews," Rowe said. "He was a big kid. Frankie was, to me, a figure of authority and humanity."
Denzinger's wife, Tara, said before Saturday's service that she felt her husband's presence last night.
"He knows I am a strong, stubborn woman, and I will get through this," she said. "At some point, this day will fade away, and we will become more and more normal."

The Forgiveness of Sins
Question and answer 56 of the Heidelberg Catechism continue the catechism's exposition of the Apostles' Creed by focusing on the creedal statement that Christians believe in "the forgiveness of sins." Interestingly, belief in divine forgiveness is confessed in the section of the creed that deals with the Holy Spirit. The writers of the Apostles' Creed could have placed it under the creed's section on the Father or the Son. After all, though we may petition any of the persons of the Trinity for forgiveness, Scripture directs us to make our requests for pardon primarily to the Father (Matt. 6:9–13). Moreover, we are forgiven based on the work of the Son (Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:13–14). Still, the Holy Spirit must regenerate us before we will acknowledge our need of forgiveness and seek God's pardon in Christ (John 3:5). So, in our subjective experience, the Spirit makes the first move necessary for us to receive divine forgiveness. Thus, it is good and proper for the Apostles' Creed to discuss forgiveness when setting forth the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
To help us understand divine forgiveness, the Heidelberg Catechism turns to today's passage, wherein the prophet Micah marvels at the greatness of God's pardon. Micah 7:18 emphasizes the uniqueness of the Lord's forgiveness, revealing that no other deity can offer the same kind of pardon that the one true God — the covenant Lord of Israel — offers to His people. In light of the entire Bible, God's forgiveness is incomparable because He forgives us in Christ Jesus without compromising His holy justice (Rom. 3:21–26). Only the God of Scripture is both just and Justifier. The other gods of this world, who are no gods at all but demons masquerading as gods (Deut. 32:17; 1 Cor. 8:4–6; 10:20), compromise their self-proclaimed righteousness when they "forgive" because they do not demand true atonement for sin.
Micah 7:19 shows us that God casts our sins into the depths of the sea when He forgives us. He puts them so far out of His sight that He never sees them again. Of course, the Lord does not actually forget our sins. If we remember the sins committed against us, how can the omniscient Lord not recall our transgressions of His law? Micah only means that God no longer holds our sins against us when He forgives us. He never again counts them against our standing before Him.

How to Make Ribbon Spool Flowers
By: Heidi Borchers
Don't throw away that empty ribbon bolt! Instead, create handmade flowers from Heidi Borchers that will surely evoke spring. Learn how to make ribbon spool flowers that can be mounted onto a colorful canvas and displayed as art.
Start with two different-sized ribbon spools. Carefully seperate the two circles on the sides of the spools so you have three different pieces. The circles from the larger spool will serve as the petals and the circles from the smaller spool will become the leaves and stems. Acrylic paint adds color and vibrancy to your flowers. Have fun when choosing your hues and makes your flowers stand out!
For a step-by-step photo tutorial of this project, check out Cardboard Ribbon Spool Flowers.

It was recommended starting my own thread instead of polluting another.
I was here a few years ago looking into fixing our hard water problem and ran across this thread.
I never purchased one, but we did do a complete remodeling of our home. During the past two years with virtually all new appliances, sinks, faucets, tub, toilet....basically everything that uses water (including geothermal which is integrated with the electric water heater), they've gradually come under attack to the point of requiring the kitchen faucet be overhauled and everything else losing performance. Cleaning the iron stains was long past a royal pain. So, first we installed an iron filter and a chemical feeder (chlorine) for the bacteria. I don't have the test results handy, but rest assured the scale buildup, iron staining, smell etc. was bad. The water didn't taste very good either. The link to the place that set me up with the filter system available upon request. I installed myself. Now with the water nice and clean, we still had 15 gpg CaCO3. Not having enough room for a traditional water softener (or the willingness to maintain one) I opted to give Scalewatcher a try. I took several pictures of the water heater element, dishwasher, faucets (kitchen and bath) etc. This is an experiment, so please no "experts" guaranteeing me it is a scam. I'll try to remember to check back if/when there are positive results or not. Otherwise send me an email as a reminder in a few months. Question: how does a company stay in business for 24 years selling a product that doesn't work? I'm just sayin' |

"Question: how does a company stay in business for 24 years selling a product that doesn't work?"... ask P.T. Barnum Descaling technology does work. It works in specific circumstances in different degrees when correctly applied. If your circumstances are in that range and the descaling hardware you chose achieves what you're looking for then you get what you want. Since you decided to give the Scalewatcher a try let us know how it goes. |

On Friday, August 1, 2014, the Class of 2014 Enshrinees -- Derrick Brooks, Ray Guy, Claude Humphrey, Walter Jones, Andre Reed, Michael Strahan, and Aeneas Williams -- were presented their gold jackets. And for the first time ever, the prestigious event was broadcast live by the NFL Network!
The jacket is one of three symbols of induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and it certainly was an emotional ceremony center stage before a capacity crowd.
The evening started with a cocktail party and dinner prior to the crowd offering warm congratulations to the Class of 2014, along with many returning Hall of Famers here to celebrate and to welcome the newest members. The evening's festivities were emceed by Rich Eisen.
Nearly 25,000 men have played in at least one National Football League game, but since the Pro Football Hall of Fame was established in 1963, only 287 football players, coaches and/or contributors have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Test results
Let's get started with a staple of storage benchmarking, HD Tach. We tested with that application's full variable zone size setting.
At least in this synthetic test, the Flash Padlock 2 delivers strictly middle-of-the-pack performance. OCZ's Rally2 leads by a comfortable and consistent margin, but OCZ specifically advertises that product as "one of the fastest flash drives available," so we're not particularly surprised. The Flash Padlock 2 fares well compared to the 2GB drives, though.
To add to our synthetic testing, we busted out our stopwatch and timed the transfer of a 656MB directory containing 83 files, most of them MP3 songs, from our test system to the Flash Padlock 2.
Satisfyingly, this test echoes HD Tach's average write speed benchmark. The Rally2 comes out on top, the Flash Padlock 2 ends up not too far behind, and the 2GB OCZ and Kingston offerings take third and fourth places, respectively. (We tried timing file copies from those drives toward our test system, too, but the results weren't all that enlightening. All four drives took about four to five seconds, and manual stopwatch testing made it difficult to detect minute differences.)
If we can draw one conclusion from these tests, it's that the Flash Padlock 2's encryption hijinks don't translate into unusually slow file transfers. However, folks chiefly concerned with performance will find there are quicker USB thumb drives on the market.
We weren't finished with the Flash Padlock 2. Is that chubby rubber enclosure actually good for something, or does it just block off other USB ports for no reason? To find out, I threw the Flash Padlock 2 into the front pocket of my jeans. I then placed the jeans and some other laundry in the washing machine on a 90-minute cycle, at a temperature of 40°C (104°F).
The drive came out of the wash safe and soundand it remains fully functional over a month later. This Flash Padlock 2 has also gotten sat on, tossed around at the bottom of a loaded backpack during a transatlantic flight, and thrown multiple times onto a hard tile floor, all without suffering a scratch. Speaking of scratches, Corsair has neatly embossed the labels on the six surface buttons (as well as its logo, of course), so even if the white paint does get scratched off, the symbols will live on.
As far as we've seen, the Flash Padlock 2 delivers on its promises: the PIN locking and unlocking system works, the drive doesn't even register on a host system when locked, performance seems very acceptable, and the enclosure can take plenty of punishment. Sure, the button interface on the front could be a little more intuitive, and the rubber enclosure could probably do its job without blocking off adjacent USB ports. But those are fairly minor complaints. Corsair definitely looks to have a very solid product here.
This solidity comes at a price. Right now, the 8GB Flash Padlock 2 sells for $54.99 shipped at Newegg. That's quite a leap over even the company's own 8GB Flash Voyager drive, which the same e-tailer offers for just $24.99 with free shipping. With USB 3.0 thumb drives drawing close on the horizon, charging that much extra for a USB 2.0 product seems bold. (Reports say 16GB thumb drives with much quicker USB 3.0 connectivity should soon retail for less than $70 a piece.) Then again, none of the drives we tested came close to pushing the limits of a USB 2.0 interface, even in our burst read tests.
Regardless of the interface type, we'd ideally like to see higher transfer rates from the Padlock 2. A little more speed would mix well with the drive's other virtuesthe 10-year warranty, elaborate security features, and tough outer enclosureand make the price easier to swallow. Still, folks who regularly carry sensitive data, or who just don't want anyone else getting access to their personal files, may well find spending an extra $20 or so on the Flash Padlock 2 a no-brainer.

Follow-Up Postings:
Mokey, I find it easier than most vines to keep under control. I've grown it in the past on an arbor and while I had to tuck in the new growth, it really makes a nice climber. I've used it as a groundcover and it stays about 8-inches tall. In my current garden I have 3 large pots of it (one variegated and one a more slender smaller leaf)and that's the best control of all...as long as you don't let it reach ground it just coils around top of pot mostly. I find it's easy to pull up if it does outreach its assigned spot. Mine rarely blooms...and they're so tiny the only way I noticed was the sweet scent. Have never seen it elsewhere in garden in 30 years so invasiveness probably refers to runners escaping into wild area (rather than from seed). No problem if you keep an eye on it, at least in my experience. I really like this plant...it gets reddish/wine tones in winter and just looks good yearround. Never had disease or pest problems. Easy to propagate and great in arrangements. josh |

It is a groundcover so it will spread but only by runners. We have tons of it where I work and have never had any problems with it. If you want to see what it can do take a look around the Alabama Activity Center downtown (across Monroe St. from the RSA Tower). Just keep in mind that these were planted two feet on center many years ago...although they covered the beds in one growing season. |
