cooking a batch today. Opened my malt extract after steeping my barley and there appears to be mold on top of my malt extract. I stopped here and I am wondering whether to abort batch or skim off the mold and proceed.
Skim it and go. I can't see how the mold would survive deep inside the extract due to the sugar concentration, and any mold you miss should die in boiling.
Mold? Really? Could it possibly have been hops that seperated from the malt? I've seen this before.
Good call. Never use prehopped extract myself, but homebrewer_99 is right -- mold in extract is pretty hard to imagine with the high sugar content. If the extract is prehopped, sniff it and see if it smells like mold or hops.
The boil will kill it.
Hey, thanks for the replies. I skimmed off the mold and proceeded with the batch. Batch is cooling now and I will be pitching the yeast shortly. I am in Louisiana and should have refrigerated.
ummm.... what kind of kit is it? If it is a prehopped kit you may have taken out a great deal of the intended flavor by skimming off the "mold."
I doubt any caned extract could have mold due to the lack of oxygen. It was probably packed by someone after the manufacturer (or not mold but hops?)
Yeah, we're all interested -- canned or bulk extract? Pre-hopped or pure?
Mold is not uncommon in a kit where the malt is filled by the homebrew store particularly if you didn't refrigerate. Skimming the mold off works fine. Next time, make the kit sooner or get it in the fridge. I bet you won't make that mistake again.
Welcome to HBT!
edit: Where in the heck are you guys getting the pre-hopped thing? He said he was steeping grains which usually goes right along with adding hops to the pot.

New Vulnerabilities in Portable OpenSSH 324
from the will-get-it-right-eventually dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
your belt may fail
your suspenders may fail
if you're really serious about keeping your pants up, use both!
this is the theory of theo-n-the-openbsd-cats. you used priv sep plus all the other security goodies.
you don't say that doing nightly backups is a "weak" practice because the backups could fail at the same time as your main drive. do you?
OpenSSH... A Microsoft product, right? Oppss... Forgot, one can not criticize open source on the same standards we hold "M$"
No, the vulnerabilities are due to new code in 3.7; the Red Hat and Debian people who backported only the security fixes to older OpenSSH versions are safe. They are not old vulnerabilities that were discovered by an increase in code vetting.
The RH-supplied latest OpenSSH (3.5p1-11) doesn't seem to accept the "UsePam no" directive that was suggested as a workaround, so if you go ahead and add that line to your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and say "service sshd restart", SSH will complain about an invalid configuration option and refuse to start.
And thus, an effective workaround.
The advisory does appear to mention this default, explicitly anyway...
The advisorydoesn't appear to mention this default, explicitly anyway...
Wait. Shouldn't this be:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# exit
Without the update step, apt wouldn't know about the new packages.
Although, I suppose you could have the apt-get update step in a cron job.
it would seem that in addition to the PAM patch, there are more buffer management-related fixes which didn't find their way into 3.7.1p1 but prompted Debian to make a third update [debian.org] to ssh. One may want to update even on OpenBSD or with PAM disabled.- email@example.com 2003/09/18 08:49:45
[deattack.c misc.c session.c ssh-agent.c]
more buffer allocation fixes; from Solar Designer; CAN-2003-0682;
I've heard statements like these again and again, and every time I thank the decision I made to use OpenBSD on our firewalls. Their focus on security really does pay dividends. Yes, they still get it wrong from time to time. But they're far ahead of the rest of the field.
OpenSSH has grown a little too big to be maintained properly.
Okay, mod me down again...
The meat is rotten, but the booze is holding out. Computer translation of "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Darnell graduated from Dowagiac Sr. High (2000) and went on to pursue a degree in Business Management & Information System (2004) from The University of Notre Dame.

"The greatest satisfaction is not only knowing that you've guided someone down the right path, but knowing that you've also shown them how traveling the 'right path' is possible, every day." – A perspective that continues to drive Darnell.

Happy New Year
wayner2000(5b Ontario)January 1, 2010
Here's wishing everyone a healthy and happy New Year.
wayner2000(5b Ontario)
A very Happy Valentines Day to all and I know it's rather early however I just wanted to see some colour so I have cut some of my forsythia branches and placed them in water and am looking forward to seeing them flower. I have also purchased some daffodils and tulips from the local grocery and it's such a joy to see them bloom. They certainly bring back memories of last spring and they give a boost to the morale, knowing we still have some weeks of winter to get through.

Smith wins belt with split decision
Ishe Smith beat Cornelius Bundrage by split decision on Saturday night to claim the IBF 154-pound title.
Smith (25-5) won his first world title at 34, patiently counterpunching the champion through 12 sometimes dull rounds. The veteran managed by Floyd Mayweather Jr. wept with joy after becoming the first Las Vegas-born fighter to win a major belt.
Bundrage (32-5) was more aggressive in the early rounds, but tired. Smith staggered and cut Bundrage in the ninth while largely controlling the final four rounds to earn a comfortable victory.
Two judges favored Smith 116-111, while Bundrage won 114-113 on the third card.
Bundrage congratulated Smith on the victory, saying he had wandered away from his game plan. Bundrage had been the IBF champion since August 2010, defending the belt twice.

Tech Bytes: ARC Advisory Group, GT Nexus and Deutsche Bank, Livingston International
Monday, March 16, 2015
The weakening euro hit the enterprise software market in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to research from ARC Advisory Group . It's the first major decline in revenue for the market since the first quarter of 2013, caused mostly by an 8.2 percent depreciation in the euro against the dollar during the quarter. Many prominent enterprise software providers, notably SAP and IFS , are based in Europe. "Currency translations effect played a major role during the qua...

Tuesday, March 03, 2015
The global trade management solutions provider Amber Road said Monday it has acquired ecVision, a cloud-based provider of global sourcing and collaborative supply chain solutions for brand-focused companies.

The cloud-based connectivity and collaborative planning software provider E2open last week said a number of major international brands, including Fabricators International, Intersil and McCormick & Co., have joined the E2open Business Network. E2open allows companies to connect with suppliers and other supply chain partners. "We consider E2open to be an important partner in taking our supply chain operations to the next level to execute on our vision of implemen...
Tech Bytes: E2open, Insight Venture Partners, CDM Software Solutions, Descartes, Loginno, Hai Hua and SITC
Thursday, February 12, 2015
The supply chain connectivity software provider E2open was acquired last week by the private equity firm Insight Venture Partners for $273 million. The all-cash deal takes E2open and its collaborative cloud-based environment for suppliers off the public market – the company went public in 2012 – where it had largely underperformed despite revenue and earnings holding relatively firm. According to the procurement website Spend Matters, E2open's stock price had droppe...
E-retailers struggling with cost of delivery and logistics investment
Monday, January 26, 2015
The current business models e-retailers and their shipping partners are using to handle e-commerce are becoming financially unsustainable, according to a new benchmark report from the London-based consultancy Transport Intelligence. The Global e-Commerce Logistics Report 2015 found that retailers view e-commerce as a strategic advantage, with many investing in delivery and fulfillment networks. But Ti said the financial impact of these investments is weighing heavil...
ACE/ITDS mirrors global automation efforts
Saturday, January 24, 2015
The countdown to a new, simpler way of doing business with U.S. Customs and other government agencies when it comes to cross-border trade is getting closer. I'm talking about the Automated Commercial Environment and International Trade Data System. Think of them as new computer systems and software programs designed to take the red out of red tape. ACE is the new backbone of Customs and Border Protection's trade processing and risk management activities and the key ...
Hitting the target
Saturday, January 24, 2015
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's transition from its legacy Automated Commercial System to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is entering the stretch run. Nov. 1 is the date by which importers and their agents must electronically transmit to ACE all cargo release filings and associated entry summaries, including documents required by other agencies. Many small and midsized brokers who dragged their feet updating software systems to communicate with ACE now face...
Commentary: IT concepts with staying power
Saturday, January 24, 2015
You might recall American Shipper put out a series of reports five or so years ago with transportation analyst Merge Global on the future of logistics and various transportation markets. As is the case with such consultancies, Merge Global has become Logistics Capital & Strategy, though stalwarts like Brian Clancy (a co-founder of Merge Global who often wrote in American Shipper ) remain, as does industry vet Ted Prince, most recently with Kansas City Southern. ...
Will Amazon's anticipatory shipping concept disrupt logistics management?
Thursday, January 22, 2015
Knowing what a customer wants before the customer even knows he or she wants is every retailer's dream. North America's biggest e-tailer, Amazon, has been taking steps toward that goal in recent years, most notably by acquiring a patent for a technology that underlies what it calls anticipatory shipping. The anticipatory shipping model, according to a white paper released by the transportation management software provider GTG Technology, is essentially an extension ...
GTM's small fraction
Saturday, December 13, 2014
I was pretty caught by surprise when I read that Thomson Reuters and KPMG had inked a partnership in early 2014 to offer global trade management software and services in the South America market. To my mind, the number of providers of such software and services could fit in a pretty tight circle, but clearly, that circle needs to be expanded. That Thomson Reuters—known in the mainstream as much for publishing as for providing trade compliance and free trade agreemen...

Monday, December 08, 2014
The logistics and global trade management software provider Descartes Systems Group said Monday it has acquired two U.K.-based businesses to bolster its GTM data and software. The bigger of the two acquisitions is e-customs, Inc., a provider of electronic security and fiscal customs filing solutions in the UK. The company's cloud-based solution Webdecs provides shippers and logistics services providers with solutions to comply with U.K. fiscal filing and security filing requirem...
My own private cloud
Saturday, November 01, 2014
"Hey you, get off of my cloud," Mick Jagger admonishes in the Rolling Stones' 1967 hit song. The tone of the song was clear: Mick and the boys were tired of people's expectations of them. How apropos that most supply chain managers these days are sick of hearing about the cloud itself. But the lyrics are also poignant in terms of worries about cloud-based solutions that still persist. An American Shipper study from September, produced with Oracle, found data securit...

Supply chain by design
Saturday, October 04, 2014
When Toby Brzoznowski thinks of a casino, he thinks of only one thing: failure. "You walk up to a table in a casino, and the system is designed for you to fail," said Brzoznowski, executive vice president of the supply chain design software provider LLamasoft. "The only way to win is to design a new game that has the odds in your favor. You can choose to play roulette or blackjack, but that's just playing a game you're likely to lose. To win, you need a new structure, a new way ...
From stickiness to gravity
Saturday, October 04, 2014
In the expanding age of software-as-a-service solutions, there's a parallel, growing concern with which software providers must contend: the extent to which their products are fungible. The increased use of SaaS solutions—and American Shipper research indicates that growth is more measured than the buzz around SaaS may suggest—has led to the perception that one system is easily replaced by another. The theoretical thinking goes something like this: browser-based, Sa...
What does 3D printing mean to logistics?
Sunday, August 17, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram I saw my first "3D Printer" in action nearly 12 years ago. The basics of the technology (called additive manufacturing) have been around since the 1980s. I watched with fascination as a printer-like device, (albeit a very large printer), attached to a computer, slowly used a plastic raw material to construct a small model of a famous building. The degree of detail in the finished object, complete with all the architectural aspects of the o...
The cloud simplified
Sunday, July 13, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram You can't avoid factoring in the "cloud" in any current discussion about software or system acquisition. Cloud-based capability now appears on most lists of selection criteria and technology requests for quotations for software. But what is the "cloud" and what does it mean to logistics companies making systems investment decisions? The key thing to note is the cloud is ultimately about infrastructure and the underlying technology on which...
JDA targets 3PL market
Sunday, June 08, 2014
The supply chain software company JDA has become such a fixture in the world of major retailers and manufacturers that it's easy to forget the company also has a major presence in the third-party logistics provider market. But there's room for growth, the company said, evidenced by its decision earlier this year to create a dedicated 3PL business unit aimed at expanding its revenue from the sector. The move is one of several JDA has undertaken in 2014 after spending...
Order of the day
Sunday, June 08, 2014
UPS's use GT Nexus order management system emblematic of way forwarders seek best-of-breed solutions. For a company that proudly points to the fact that it has invested $1 billion in technology for 15 years in a row, use of an outside software vendor might seem anathema. But it's also a sign of the changing times. Freight forwarders large and small are increasingly turning to software vendors to provide critical functionality their customers demand in areas where existing syste...
Simply Elementum
Sunday, May 11, 2014
Investors help risk management visibility software startup, incubated out of Flextronics, make splash. There aren't a whole lot of supply chain software providers that fly out the gate with celebrity investors attached and that's what made the startup Elementum's public unveiling in early April so noteworthy. The company didn't just enter the marketplace. It came armed with the news that five big-name investors plugged $60 million into the company's fledgling coffers. Among the...
BIG DATA — Big Deal
Sunday, May 11, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram For the last four or five years, the term "big data," (closely related to "data analytics") has become a key trend in using systems to gain competitive advantage. At its core, this subject revolves around the use of massive databases to derive patterns that can add commercial value. The concept itself is not new. Big data has its roots in database technology that has been around for a long time. However, a number of trends have come togeth...
IT: Build or buy it?
Sunday, April 06, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram I've heard this dilemma expressed in many ways over the last 25 years: "Should we buy off-the-shelf software or should we build our own?" Typically, this question is asked of software and systems that are core operational for logistics. Further, this question is almost always one of degrees, because every company today has some system that is developed externally. For example, it is unlikely that a logistics company will develop an in-hous...
The network effect
Sunday, April 06, 2014
Research finds companies lack confidence in ERPs to deliver supply chain visibility. The concept of an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) is so ensconced in the business world, it seems hard to believe that it was less than 25 years ago that the term was actually coined. Today, most organizations rely on ERPs to some extent to "automate and support a range of administrative and operational business processes across multiple industries," as the analysts at Gartner put it....
Amber Road CEO eyes growth after successful IPO
Monday, March 24, 2014

Public compliance
Sunday, March 02, 2014
Trade compliance software is inherently an unsexy space – except for those compliance practitioners that live and die by their global trade management system. The question is whether the merits of such a system are recognizable to a public that has little time or inclination for customs rules, much less the tools developed to help companies comply with them. We may soon get a test from Amber Road, one of the leaders in the development of browser-based compliance t...
Mexico's single-window experience
Sunday, March 02, 2014
Mexico is the first country in North America to achieve a single window. The system has processed nearly 40 million transactions covering 215 procedures for nine different agencies since commencing in October 2011, Alejandro Chacón, the administrator general of Mexican Customs, said March 7 at the U.S. Customs Trade Symposium in Washington. There was some initial reluctance on the part of other agencies to share a common IT pipe, but they eventually became partners through a com...
Countdown to the single window
Sunday, March 02, 2014
Obama puts agencies on notice to be team players, join unified trade data system. In less than three years, many bureaucratic headaches associated with importing and exporting cargo could be minimized if the U.S. government follows through on its goal of implementing new information technology for modernizing how trade is processed to ensure it meets trade, safety, security and environmental standards. At its heart, the changeover is much more than a technological upgrade; it's...
Internet's deep trade connection
Monday, February 17, 2014
Failure to embrace technology is often borne out of an inability to see past the immediate impacts and toward an ultimately more efficient future. Breaking news: the Internet is important to international trade. That statement comes as a result of attending a panel at a think tank in Washington, D.C. in early February where a cast of economic and technology experts examined the role of the Internet as a platform for expanding cross-border commerce, especially for and into devel...

Relic of social media?
Friday, January 17, 2014
Transportation companies, 3PLs still see value in maintaining, growing their blogs. Before Twitter, and even Facebook and LinkedIn, there was a revolutionary new way that people and companies communicated using the Internet as a connective thread: blogs. Often obscured by society's headlong leap into newer, more immediate social media platforms, blogs have persisted, and in some cases thrived, as a tool for longer format online dialogue. But in a world where people...
Top issues for retailers – a technology vendor's view
Friday, January 17, 2014
When it comes to transportation and compliance concerns, retailers have enough on their plates to make even the healthiest eater blush. But it's often difficult to determine just what the highest priority issues are at any given moment. And often, those best placed to assess the market's pain points are technology vendors, since they see the range of problems their portfolio of customers face versus the individual problem of any one shipper. According to Derek Gitto...
Bricks-and-clicks convergence
Friday, January 17, 2014
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies A number of trends in the retail sector presage dramatic changes in the import distribution channels. The latest trend is for e-commerce retailers, like Amazon, to offer same-day delivery for Internet sales. This strategy is being tested in some urban markets and will likely spread across the country. More traditional retailers, often referred to as "bricks and mortar," are responding. Given that consumers are getting used to shopping online---a trend tha...

Samoa name strong XV for Scotland
ESPN Staff
June 21, 2012

Samoa have named a strong side for the Test against Scotland in Apia on Saturday.
There are plenty of familiar names with Worcester Warriors' David Lemi captaining the side at inside centre. Elsewhere, the Ospreys' Kahn Fotuali'i gets the nod at scrum-half with Harlequins' Maurie Fa'asavalu in the back-row. The Hurricanes Tusi Pisi is also added to the bulk of the players who helped Samoa tie up the Pacific Nations Cup last week.
Scotland captain Ross Ford is fully aware of the threats Samoa pose. "It is going to be a tough game, Samoa have got a lot of strengths, a lot of the European players are back now," said Ford. "It is a strong team that they are putting out. They are a lot more structured than Fiji, but still have the ability to break defences with their big men and good steppers.
"They will be very physical, so it will be a tough challenge, but it is one that the boys are looking forward to. A win would round the tour off well."
Samoa team to face Scotland: F Autagavaia: P Perez, F Otto, P Williams, D Lemi (c); T Pisi, K Fotualii; S Taulafo, T Paulo, C Johnston, F Lemalu, D Crichton, B Masoe, M Faasavalu, K Thompson
Replacements: W Avei, L Mulipola, I Tekori, A Aiono, J Sua , K Anufe, L Lui

The Republican Party is out of touch not because it has taken unpopular positions. That is a normal part of politics. Rather, Republicans are uniquely out of touch because they continue to discuss things and promote ideas to which most of the country no longer even pays any attention.
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham says Republicans won't support any immigration reform that allows same-sex couples to keep their families intact. "Why don't we just put legalized abortion in there and round it all out," he joked.
We cannot change the past. We cannot bring back to life a single murdered child. But all of us, regardless of party affiliation or political orientation, can and must do everything in our collective power to stop the carnage of our children in the future.
I am weary of hearing every news commentator and pundit preface his or her criticism of John McCain with praise for him as a hero. By my measure, McCain is no longer a hero, he's a coward.
I have personally known Susan for over 25 years and I can say, without hesitation, she is an individual of the highest integrity.
During a week in which those icons of feminism -- senators McCain and Graham -- viciously attacked Susan Rice, Dowd somehow decided it was perspicacious to go after her, too. Dowd has always been a cheap-shot artist, but her initial attack on Rice last week was even below the bargain-bin variety.
Susan Rice -- whom Senators McCain and Graham have vowed to block if she is nominated to be Secretary of State and whom McCain condemned as "unqualified" for the position -- did her job and presented the intelligence community's assessment of what happened in Benghazi. What else should she have done?
Easily the most dramatic sequence in a rather strong press conference performance today by President Barack Obama was his vehement defense of UN Ambassador Susan Rice against attacks by Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
We are hearing a wave of chatter from conservative GOP figureheads calling out their party on the subject of Latinos and immigration. Time to change their hardline approach to America's immigrants and push for immigration reform, they say. Perhaps sanity is breaking out.
These three calls should be made to conservative Republican senators who I know, from personal experience, care more about the best interests of the nation and who care more about solving problems than about winning ideological wars or passing someone else's litmus tests for purity.
In case after case, Obama's foreign policy is working, with Republicans begrudgingly agreeing with it. Both Romney and Ryan are talking about the unravelling of that policy and yet offer nothing at all in its place.
Resolving this issue diplomatically however represents the best possible outcome for the United States. So why are some Members of Congress doing their utmost to make this outcome less likely?
Just as Romney's 47% number is not evidence of a massive breakdown of society, the 12% average decline in household incomes in the wake of the 2008 collapse may not actually be evidence of a widespread collapse in family incomes.
If Pentagon contractors were actually feeling economic pressure, they could certainly trim excesses at the top before letting go thousands of rank-and-file employees. Pentagon contractors' top executives enjoy compensation packages on par with Wall Street CEOs.

California Public Employee Relations
Just published:
New edition of Pocket Guide to Public Sector Mediation in California. Mediation continues to be a successful method for resolving labor disputes for public sector employees in California. The guide discusses the various aspects of the mediation process as it applies to public agencies and employees throughout the state. Because the process differs among public employees depending on the governing statute, this guide outlines those differences and explains how the process typically works.
Useful for both the beginning practitioner and the seasoned professional, the guide covers the types of mediation, levels of involvement, and the importance of confidentiality. Included are the relevant statutory language of each act, important cases, selected references, and a glossary of terms.
In April, CPER will publish the fourth edition of Pocket Guide to Public Sector Arbitration: California, a thorough and convenient guide for anyone involved in arbitration or factfinding. The guide provides practical information on the process and highlights significant legal issues.
CPER sends an announcement when each new title or edition is published. To be put on the list, please send your email address to email@example.com.

IRLE Library Moves Its Internet Guides to the LibGuides Web Platform
The Library's popular series of guides to electronic resources have long been maintained by personal attention to the content by library staff, on a quarterly on semi-annual basis. Effective February 25, we have moved our Web Guides to LibGuides, a low-cost content management system for such guides. Most major research libraries (including UC Berkeley, Harvard and similar institutions) are now using this system, which automates much of the work involved in maintaining such guides. The IRLE Library manages its own roster of guides on an account that is distinct from the University Library of the campus, primarily to have more effective control of the overall design of the guides.

How to make a guy come when i give him a blow job or hand job
Practically every animal species utilizes the rear-entry "doggy-style" position, so it is a natural one for humans to enjoy, as well. While you won't have face-to-face contact, there are many benefits. It's great for guys because it gives them full control. This is one of the best positions for hitting her G-spot and allows him to fondle your breasts, stomach, clitoris, back, neck and other sensual spots. The main benefit for your man is that he'll be able to get incredibly deep penetration (above-average guys need to be careful as deep thrusts might hit her cervix, which can be quite painful).
2. Find your man's hidden zones
Yes, men love to be touched sensually too. I call these "hidden" zones because many people don't realize, or forget, that these areas of the body LOVE attention. While many of these zones are obvious, like the lips, groin, and inner thighs, there are also areas that, when stroked, caressed and kissed, can drive your partner wild and even intensify their orgasm. Believe it or not, the ears, neck, arms, chest and scalp are all really sensitive areas that love to be stimulated. Spend some time during foreplay caressing and touching these areas, and watch how it pleases your partner.
3. Set a romantic mood
Think men aren't romantic or wouldn't appreciate it? Think again! Everyone loves a thoughtful and kind gesture. Of course you might think that using candles, music, incense and even rose petals to set the mood of your lovemaking is a little too "cliché." But he'll think differently! Your partner will LOVE YOU for this. Just imagine how happy you would feel if someone went to all the trouble to create a special lovemaking occasion that you can cherish for years to come. Could this be so "cliché" because people enjoy it so much? Point made.
4. Hand job
When beginning a genital massage, start with lighter, irregular strokes – like teasing. As you get further and further into it, stick with two or three main strokes that your partner really enjoys. Developing a good rhythm that your partner can get into is the key to bringing your partner to orgasm with a genital massage.
5. Pleasure your man with more oral sex
If I had to give you one piece of advice to make your lovemaking perfect, it would be: learn the art of fellatio. It's true, all men love it. It feels great and actually takes a lot of trust and comfort to let somebody have their mouth down there. In short, it's an important part of lovemaking and is often the main event. Problem is, women often start fellatio by sucking on the penis straightaway when, actually, they should start with some playful teasing and soft touches. This will lead to a much more powerful orgasm as it heightens his anticipation. Make sure you use different techniques and your tongue, as well.
So there you have it. Five great ways to make your man more satisfied in the bedroom. While they're all great, I would recommend putting most of your energy and time into learning fellatio, simply because men crave it so much and the loving smile and kisses you'll probably get in return are definitely worth it.

Hopefully by the end of this article you will know how to make your husband happy in bed. There is no secret to pleasing a guy in bed because they all want one thing and it's not sex. To make your husband happy in bed there are two things that do the trick one sexual one not.
This article will tell you a great way of getting a tight vagina naturally and explain how this will increase your female libido and drive any man crazy. After the age of 30 or after having children your vagina can start to feel loose, this can lead to problems holding your urine and pads may be needed in your underwear. This feeling that your vagina is saggy can also put you off having sex because you are afraid that you won't please your lover.
Childbirth is a wonderful thing but it has one unpleasant side effect as does ageing and that is that the vagina can start to feel very loose. There are ways to counter this and get a tighter vagina such as expensive vagina tightening surgery or simple vagina tightening exercises. Vaginal surgery is not cheap and it doesn't really do a very good job, let me explain.
Vagina tightening surgery has been looked into by thousends of women who have either just given birth or are over 40 years old. They feel that they are getting a little loose and don't have the same control over urine leaks. This vaginal surgery does not come cheap and is not really that effective.
As you see vaginal exercises are the wsy to go, even if you can afford vagina tightening surgery.
So the logical alternative is natural gender selection techniques that show you how to conceive a baby boy or how to conceive a baby girl. One such natural guide is....
Vagina surgery is a highly effective way to get a tighter vagina but boy it costs a hell of a lot of money. But there is an alternative that is even more effective than going under the knife and is free to do.
All in all vagina surgery is a very expensive quick fix but The Vagina Bible offers a very cheap very effective natural way to get a tighter vagina.
