With the recent revelation that Anthony Weiner (D-NY) did, in fact, Tweet a lewd photo of his, um, weiner, to a woman who was not his wife, all of us ladies in the office have just about had it! It seems like for the last few months there has been a never-ending string of men in the public eye who are intent on reinforcing the age old stereotype that men are total dogs and treat women like crap, so we decided to call them out.

I know it's an article of faith in the school-reform community that we should "differentiate" among teachers and pay them "differentially" too. Highly effective teachers should get paid more than mediocre ones; individuals willing to work in poor schools should get bigger paychecks than those serving the well-to-do; those in high-demand fields (like math and science) should get more than their peers. I get all of that, and generally agree.
I also understand that the "single-salary schedule" is seen as the nemesis to smart teacher policy. And that's also true. But what makes the single schedule so pernicious isn't just its uniformity; it's its growth curve. Twenty-five years veterans are paid a lot more than five-year veterans even though, on average, they are equally effective. Changing that curve is at least as important as introducing more differentiation in pay.
This isn't my idea, or a new idea. Two years ago, Duke economist Jacob Vigdor published an excellent article in Education Next, "Scrap the Sacrosanct Salary Schedule." His analysis can be summed up in the graphic below.
In all professions, new hires get paid significantly less at the start. But in fields like medicine and law, pay rises rapidly--as soon as employees boost their effectiveness and productivity from on-the-job experience. In education, on the other hand, pay rises slowly, even though teachers' effectiveness plateaus after as little as two (and no more than five) years...
Take a look at this graph from Robert Costrell and Mike Podgursky's new report on pensions for the TIAA-CREF Institute:
The blue line is pension wealth accumulated by a teacher under Missouri's teacher pension plan who begins work at age 25. Note that the teacher earns essentially nothing until their 12th year of service and only five figures past their 20th year of service. Over the five years after that, the teacher's retirement wealth increases five-fold.
Lest you think this insanity is particular to Missouri, take a look at neighboring Illinois, where a new law revamping teacher pensions was just passed:
New teachers in Illinois can only hope to get their money back (at best) until they've been teaching for 26 years.
As I've mentioned before, this system can't help but attract highly risk-averse workers to the detriment of others. It creates a situation where the handful of teachers who never leave the profession or work outside the area covered by a given retirement system take money out of the pockets of everyone else. Unless you're one of those teachers, you'd be far better off with a higher base salary and a defined-contribution plan where your retirement wealth increases steadily as a function of your salary.

Reading yesterday's New York Times editorial about the Empire State's fiscal crisis, I couldn't ?help but think of the last days of the USSR. I'm sure there were many Soviets scrambling to move the deck chairs around while that?ship was sinking.
The Times does not paint a very pretty picture of New York:
At a time when public school students are being forced into ever more crowded classrooms, and poor families will lose state medical benefits, New York State is paying 10 times more for state employees' pensions than it did just a decade ago. ?.
In all, the salaries and benefits of state employees add up to $18.5 billion, or a fifth of New York's operating budget. Unless those costs are reined in, New York will find itself unable to provide even essential services?.
And the Governor's?mandate relief commission, a politically astute way for Mr. Cuomo to deliver bad news, just reported that:

This important survey of Ohio school leaders shows a growing disconnect of opinion between the people who teach in our public schools and those who lead them. While many teachers and other school employees resist changes to collective bargaining laws and education reform measures, superintendents recognize the need for such changes and in fact are hungry for them.
Yearning to Break Free: Ohio Superintendents Speak Out is the result of a statewide survey of Ohio district superintendents and other education leaders on the most critical issues facing K-12 education in the Buckeye State in 2011, including budgets, school effectiveness, and laws that make schools harder to manage. The survey was conducted by the respected, nonpartisan public opinion research firm, FDR Group, and commissioned and underwritten by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. The findings come as policy makers struggle to solve the state's massive budget deficit while ramping up pupil achievement.
Education Sector's Chad Aldeman has posted the results of a thought experiment he ran trying to prove that states' assumptions about 8 percent returns on their pension portfolios are not overly optimistic. He seems convinced that states are being conservative in assuming 8 percent returns; I'm not so sure. I don't think it's wise to brush aside the results of academics in finance and accounting in favor of a simplistic analysis that misses some key factors.
First, the mantra of investment professionals is: past performance is no guarantee of future returns. In order to determine whether pensions are adequately funded, we need to understand how markets will perform going forward. This is tough to do reliably ? if Chad or I knew the answer, we wouldn't be working at think-tanks. Many academics are fretting about whether American capital markets will continue to outperform other countries going forward, however.* Second, the 1926-present time period used in Ed Sector's analysis? includes the post-WW2 boom years, which are unlikely ever to be repeated. Third, pension funds look nothing like the balanced portfolio Chad uses in his analysis. In particular, they are heavily weighted in the direction of private capital investments that behave very differently from public markets.
The most important question is whether defined-benefit pensions are good for teachers at all, though. We know that politicians are prone to skip pension contributions to fill other holes in state and local budgets. Illinois has provided us a perfect example of...
The Elusive Search for Stability and Objectivity
My friend E.J. McMahan at the Empire Center in Albany has a great headline for his blog post this morning: ?Volatility, thy name is `income tax.'? ??Though no one in government these days should need reminding of the problem in predicting public revenues, McMahon cites a new study from the Pew Center on the States and the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute in Albany which calls incomes taxes ?the biggest culprit? in thwarting government's prognostic powers.?
Quoting from the report:
Traditionally, personal income taxes are a more volatile income stream than the sales tax. That is in large part because many states rely heavily on non-wage income such as dividends from investments, which can rise and fall with the performance of the stock market.
McMahon then notes:
As if on cue, on the same day that the Pew-Rockefeller report was released, [New York State] Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said his 99-member Democratic majority will push for a budget bill that makes New York more dependent on the income tax?.
Also, as if on cue, Silver scuttled a bill -- passed by the Republican-controlled Senate by a vote of 33 to 27 ? that would have allowed districts to lay off teachers based on factors like performance and disciplinary records, rather than seniority. ?Silver, according to the New York Times, said that he wanted to wait until the Education Department, in collaboration with the teachers union, ?creat[ed] an objective...
I nearly choked on my morning coffee when I read this quote from Mayor Michael Bloomberg's New York Times op-ed on public sector unions:
But unions also play a vital role in protecting against abuses in the workplace, and in my experience they are integral to training, deploying and managing a professional work force.
Bloomberg made his billions with Bloomberg LP, his financial data and analysis firm. Are the programmers and financial analysts there unionized? I bet not. Historically, unions protected minimally skilled workers; outside of the public sector, they've had little to do with protecting and developing professional workers. Now that public-sector unions have enormous leverage over state and local governments, however, they're not going to roll over and take a back seat because Democratic politicians ask nicely.
The rhetoric from some progressive politicians and policy wonks on public-sector unions is verging on the absurd. The message seems to be "we need strong unions, but let's get rid of all the costly practices they fight for." Good luck with that, Mayor Mike.
—Chris Tessone
Say you're a top-performing senior majoring in chemistry at Lawrence or Ripon. You're thinking about becoming a high school science teacher. Would you prefer a $35,000 salary with two pensions and health care benefits in retirement, or would you rather have a 25% higher salary and benefits similar to those your friends going into the private sector receive? Odds are you'd prefer the latter ? especially if, like most young grads, you realize the vast majority of people do not have a 30 year career in one profession these days. You'd rather have more cash to pay down students loans and make your own decisions about how to plan for retirement.
Yet most teacher compensation systems look like the first option. According to an oped in today's Wall Street Journal by the University of Arkansas' Bob Costrell, for every dollar Milwaukee teachers receive in salary, the public is spending another 74 cents on gold-plated benefits ? almost three times the cost of benefits in the private sector. The cost of those benefits, which are skewed dramatically in the direction of older teachers close to retirement, lowers starting salaries and takes choices away from workers.
This tradeoff between benefits and salary doesn't come up much in our discussions of teacher quality, but it should. Most young workers are not attracted by low starting salaries and the faint promise of retirement benefits long into the future. The growing mobility of workers argues for more flexible compensation systems.
As union protests in Madison, Columbus, and elsewhere loop continuously on cable TV, it cannot be easy to be an education-reform-minded Democrat. They're honorable folks; their commitment to bold education reform seems genuine; and they've generally been willing to push for a host of promising changes in policy and practice that rub teacher unions the wrong way. (Well, not vouchers!) They've been reasonably candid in fingering those same unions as obstacles to programs and initiatives that put kids' interests first.
At the same time, most of them have labored?especially the elected officials and wannabes?not to burn all their union bridges. Some of the most prominent of them (starting with Messrs. Obama and Duncan) have even created opportunities to ?reach out? to union leaders with encouraging words if not actual hugs. And the many billions shoveled from Washington into public-education coffers these last two years?billions devoted almost entirely to preserving teacher jobs?have gone a long way to salve whatever wounds were caused by support for charter schools, achievement-linked teacher evaluations, etc. The basic stance of reform-minded Democrats vis-?-vis the unions seems to be ?tough love??and it's no stretch to observe that the signs of love have exceeded (certainly in cash value) the tough bits.
Now it's getting harder for them. The 2010 elections combined with staggering federal and state deficits to spell a ?new normal? for reform-minded Democrats. The ?tough love? strategy is vastly harder to pull off?especially the love part?and they've now got to choose...

I would also need additional AC to compensate for the heat. I stepped up to 3 tons to add more air to the rec room, but it's still not enough. When my friends are invited over, they have to wonder, is it going to be warm while watching the show. Thanks for the reminder of piping the air outside as causing the AC to accommodate the difference.
Nice room! :) 'These guys are good!'

About the Lexus GS 400
The Lexus GS 400 was a short-lived, upper-end offering for the GS lineup that was produced for only three years. The car was launched in 1998 and was replaced by the GS 430 in the 2001 model year.
The GS 400 had a 4.0-liter V8 engine that produced 300 horsepower. It was offered in a single trim, a four-door sedan. Drivers had few complaints about the GS 400, or at least fewer complaints than they would have about the first few versions of the GS 430. Some would have liked more luxury offerings, but performance was consistently rated highly during the GS 400's short run.

Works on induction but has 7.5in iron internals
Very hard to find a ceramic coated frypan that works on induction. This one works well but the internal iron disc is only 7.5in would be much better if a couple inches larger. Cook surface is bumpy but works great for us no discoloration yet. If they would make the iron disc larger and change the color it would be perfect. Liked it enough to order 2 more, but poor packing damaged both pans.Read More
Very slick pan!!! :)
This pan is awesome!!! It's big, cooks everything evenly. NOTHING sticks at all so no need for any grease or anything fattening. I sprayed a little olive oil and whoosh!! I love this thing. Best fry pan I've ever owned.Read More
It works
I need a "safe" nonstick pan for my portable induction cooktop and this one fits the bill. I've used it for a few weeks now and the pan still look brand new. I do take good care of it by cooking at med. temp using a silicone spatula. It cleans up easily. The only minor issue I have is that the center of the pan is slightly raised so if you cook a small egg on this large pan the yolk tends to run to the side. Also, the nonstick surface has a honeycomb texture that some viewers do not like. Overall, the pan is decently priced and the issues are minor.Read More
Very happy
The pan truly is non- stick. I was worried when I first got it because it does not have a smooth bottom but the food doesn't stick and it's very easy to clean. I am very happy with this pan.Read More
Ceramic Frypan
We wanted to find a nonstick pan without teflon. This is excellent. Light weight and easy to use, foods don't stick. Also easy to clean.Read More
Don't buy it
This pan has a convex bottom. The center of the pan is the highest point so if liquids are put in it they all fall into the outside ring of the pan. This makes cooking eggs, bacon and many other things very challenging. If you crack an egg in it, it will drip into a 12" circle! Lastly, it has a textured/dimpled bottom that is odd to cook on. Things like pancakes come out dimpled. The pictures really don't show this feature well. I really don't care for this pan at all. What a waste.Read More
ceramic pan
I've had much better results with other ceramic pans. It cooks fine but has to be scrubbed clean. I've used other brands that just wipe off with a sponge and that's what I was expecting for this one.Read More
excellent purchase
I am so glad I ordered this ceramic frypan. It is easy to clean and maintain. Everybody should have ceramic cookware. The price was excellent for the size of the frypan, too. I threw my old non-stick pans out in the trash. The future is now, so go ceramic!Read More
Good pan
I've had other cookware that didn't hold up. This is a new piece, however, I can see the difference already. Food slides in the pan when cooking and slides right out onto the plate. Other non-stick cookware required the pan to be seasoned - this pan does not. Excellent pan, however, the handle doesn't feel solid (it's plastic). If the handle were stronger I'd give this 5 stars.Read More

Shopping Guides
How to Break in a Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Unlike cast-iron fry pans, stainless steel fry pans do not need to be seasoned before use; and unlike nonstick fry pans, you will need to use oil to avoid food sticking to the surface of your stainless steel fry pan and even then, some food will still stick. While these facts might seem like disadvantages, they're actually the reasons why many cooks prefer to use stainless steel fry pans. High-quality stainless steel cookware may not be the best for cooking things like eggs, but for the most flavorful searing of fish, meat, and vegetables, stainless steel fry pans are unrivaled. The following steps will teach you how break in your stainless steel fry pan before each use.
How to Use a Roasting Pan
A roasting pan is a large pan, often with a lid, that is used to roast meats in the oven. The pan can be made of stainless steel, aluminum, or other metals and have enamel or nonstick coatings. Roasting pans are available in a variety of sizes to suit different types of roasting. The key to properly using a roasting pan is to leave at least 2 inches of air space around the meat that you are roasting.
Best Pots and Pans
Choosing cookware for your kitchen comes down to what you like to eat. Think about the recipes that you and your family enjoy, and make sure you have the right pot or pan to prepare them. You can cover most needs with a cookware set, but if you won't use all the pieces in the set, that might not be the right choice for you. If you're buying each piece separately, then use this guide as your shopping list.
How to Care for Nonstick Cookware
If you're looking for a way to make your food healthier, then nonstick cookware might be for you. It has a special coating that can make your cooking healthier by reducing the amount of fat and oil you need to use in your cooking. A nonstick coating also makes it easier to clean your pots and pans, and it's the best way to cook delicate food, like eggs. However, improper care can ruin the nonstick coating, which causes foods to stick, makes cleaning more difficult, and reduces the life span of your cookware.
How to Buy a Skillet
Whether you're frying eggs or making a gourmet meal, you need a quality skillet to cook with. Some of the most frequently used cookware items, skillets are made of various metals, with or without nonstick coatings. You can also buy an electric skillet to cook breakfast or dinner foods quickly. With the many skillet options available, you may be unsure of the right pans to buy. This guide will provide you with tips on buying the best skillet for your kitchen.
How to Season Stainless Steel Pans
Seasoning is a process in which you prepare a pan or other cookware before you use it for the first time. When you season stainless steel pots and pans, you are filling the pores of the pan's surface with carbonized oil, which blocks the oxidation process and therefore keeps the cookware from rusting or pitting. In addition, seasoning helps to prevent food from sticking to the pan. The following steps will teach you how to season and protect your stainless steel pots and pans, so they will last longer and work better.
Cookware Buying Guide
When you're shopping for the right cookware it's all about the metal, because that is the vehicle that delivers heat to food. Before you shop for any pots and pans, consider the different types of metals and their benefits.
Types of Skillets
One of the most versatile pieces of cookware for any kitchen is the skillet, also known as a fry pan. The types vary in cost, materials, and ease of cleanup. While plenty of skillet choices exist, selecting the one that best suits your needs will help make every dish a success.
How to Buy Cookware
The key to buying the best cookware is first considering your needs. In order to get the most from your pots and pans, think about everything from your preferred methods of cooking to your desire to spend time keeping it clean. Keep these tips in mind as you shop for cookware.
How to Buy a Wok
Are you looking for a better way to make stir-fry dishes? Your cookware set probably didn't come with a wok, but if you want the pan that will make it simple to quickly cook vegetables and meats into delicious meals, then you'll need to add one to your kitchen. Here's what to look for when you're shopping to the best woks.
How to Cook With a Griddle
Cooking breakfast or even dinner on a griddle doesn't have to be reserved for camping anymore; in fact, you can simplify your cooking by using electric grills instead of a bunch of pots and pans. With the right electric griddle and a bit of cooking oil, you can feed a crowd in minutes. Read on for tips on cooking with a griddle indoors and out.
Best Reasons to Buy Cookware Sets
If you're shopping for pots and pans, you'll need to decide if you want to buy a set or buy them individually. While many chefs prefer to shop for individual pieces, there are several reasons why you would choose to buy a cookware set for your kitchen. If any of these situations sound like yours, then buying a set is for you.
Stainless Steel Cookware Care
For chefs with strong opinions and a no-nonsense approach to cooking, stainless steel cookware is a popular choice. Prized for its resistance to staining, odors, and the transference of flavors, stainless steel cookware is a sound choice for any kitchen. It does require some special care, however, if you want to make the most of your pots and pans.
Electric Grill Buying Guide
For a healthy alternative to pan frying that will save you time, turn to electric grills and griddles. Electric grills, like the George Foreman grill, help you cook with less fat, and these indoor grills heat up fast, unlike an outdoor charcoal or gas grill. These appliances are a great addition to any kitchen because they are easy to use and to clean. Indoor grills come in a few different models based on how and what you prefer to cook, and there are many features to choose from. Read on to understand the different models and features so you can find the perfect electric grill.
Green Kitchen Buying Guide
They say the kitchen is the heart of a home, but in many homes, it's also the biggest source of energy waste. Kitchen lighting, refrigeration and cooking consume about 41.5 percent of the total home energy use; add space heating, cooling, and water heating to that total, and you'll see your kitchen is quite the energy hog. Creating an eco-friendly kitchen includes your choice of appliances, but it also goes beyond that; the floors, paint, pots and pans, and other kitchen items you use can make your kitchen eco-friendly as well.
Kitchen Island Buying Guide
When you imagine your dream kitchen, it probably has the perfect kitchen island and other kitchen furniture available to store your pots and pans, knives, dishes and appliances easily. Even without your dream kitchen, a kitchen island or smaller kitchen carts can offer some additional counter and storage space and give your kitchen a fresh new look. This buying guide will help you figure out how to buy a kitchen island table for your home and provide you with kitchen island ideas when you're planning your dream kitchen.
Best Cookware for Electric Stoves
To get the best results from your cookware, it's important to know which material will work best with your type of electric cooktop. While all pots and pans can be used inside an electric oven, different materials work better with different cooktop surfaces. Electric cooktops range from the conventional metal-coil burner to smooth-top units, electric coil burners, and induction stove tops that use electromagnetic energy to heat food. To learn which type of cookware will work best with your electric range, keep reading.
How to Install Under-cabinet TVs
Having a little entertainment in the kitchen can be enjoyable, especially when you have a large meal to prepare or a mountain of pots and pans in the sink. An under-cabinet TV may be just the thing to let you enjoy your favorite TV shows or watch a DVD while you work around the kitchen. Installing these compact televisions only takes a few minutes. Follow the steps below to install your under-cabinet TV and bring convenient video entertainment to your kitchen.
Best Kitchen Island for Your Home
Add extra storage and counter space without remodeling when you buy a kitchen island for your home. Whether you need a drop-leaf kitchen island so you have plenty of room for chopping vegetables or a sleek stainless steel kitchen island that provides storage for your pots and pans, the following suggestions will help you buy kitchen islands and carts that work for your space. Read on for tips on finding the best kitchen island for your home.
How to Care for Wooden Spoons
Wood has long been used for eating utensils, serving utensils and preparation tools. Wooden spoons are a cooking essential and also a beautiful addition to your kitchen and dining experience. On the practical side, these lightweight yet strong utensils are great for tossing salads and serving everything from mashed potatoes to green beans. Wooden spoons are also the perfect preparation tools for use with nonstick pans. Cleaning and general care of wooden spoons differs, however, from the cleaning and care of metal utensils. Wood expands in water, so soaking the spoons in dishwater is generally not advised. Aside from a few basic rules of care, however, it is not difficult to keep wooden spoons looking like new.

UW-Stevens Point leads WIAC by a game with two left
Three teams are still within striking distance of the WIAC men's basketball title with two regular season games left.
UW-Stevens Point is still the leader at 12-2. UW-Whitewater is a game back at 11-3, and UW-Stout is two back at 10-4.
The Pointers can clinch the season championship with a victory at Stout Wednesday night and a Whitewater loss at Oshkosh.
If both those things don't happen, the race will come down to the final regular season contests on Saturday.

How much sun for "Krauter's Vesuvius" plum?
We're at 4500 ft elev. and have a lot of native pinon pine and juniper in the 20-30 ft range. I'd like to plant a few Krauter's Vesuvius flowering plums for color and spring bloom, but I don't have any places with more than 4 hours of full sun because of the larger conifers. Is this enough sunlight? Does elevation affect sunlight requirements?
The garden books say KV grows to 18-20 ft. Some websites say 10 ft. I'd like to know if keeping the KV to about 12 ft would be practical.

If you have any Prunus diseases there the shading might make one of these worse. 12' tall is too short for a purple-leaved cherry plum cultivar such as this, on suitable sites these grow much taller.
Unless you want to manage yours as pollards or shear them into formal shapes.
Possibly your climate is too cold for this, it was selected in California and during the 1990 winter here various purple-leaved cherry plums developed large areas of dead branches that still show to this day (damage to these and other trees was seen that year it got to below 10F in much of the metropolitan area; outlying sites would have been colder).
'Newport' is more spreading and picturesque, was selected in Minnesota, Nevertheless, a 12' cutoff is a bit low for this also. One common here that also has a nice habit, would tend to be more in keeping with the 12' objective is 'Spencer Hollywood'. Nurseries pretty much always call this 'Hollywood', even though that was a different, taller introduction.
Don't know how 'Spencer' would grow there, it was selected in western Oregon but I've seen it listed elsewhere. It does fruit in the manner of an orchard cultivar, breakage is possible without thinning and if you have bears there perhaps those would take an interest and climb into the trees - I don't know how these react to plums.
If you have deer there new tree plantings may have to be protected.
Another, shorter one you might want to check out is Prunus x cistena 'Big Cis'.
The nursery says KV is OK for this climate; its one of their staples. We rarely get colder than the low 20's. We have limited choices here; not many nurseries. Mostly fruiting trees. Deer aren't a problem; there are plenty around but they stay away from the populated areas. Lots of javelinas but they don't seem to bother trees. My big concern is adequacy of direct sunlight.
If you rarely get below the 20's then you probably are not in USDA 7, which AVERAGES 0-10F. At any rate, when planting trees and other specimens you want to last you have to plan for your lowest temperatures, otherwise you may lose them at some point. The 1990 winter here was the coldest one in 30 years. In 7 years it will have been 30 years since it happened, yet affected trees still show obvious damage.
If you can't find anything interesting at local outlets then you will have to buy in from outside the area. This has been the case for a long time, especially for people living in rural areas. Perhaps the biggest selection of outdoor plants in the country is offered by forestfarm, Williams, OR. A helpful thing about their web site is that it often shows photos of the actual stock at the nursery.

Me and my girlfriend had sex for the first time. I used protection and she has been on birth control to regulate her periods out. She has missed her period by a week now. She has had brown spotting but no period. Is it normal for your period to be a little varied after the first time having sex?
I am 17 and all my friends have had sex already. I don't have a boyfriend but I really want to have sex. They all talk about it and I am the only one who cant talk about it coz - I have no clue! I want my first time to be really special, and I don't want to have the pain which all my friends have said comes with sex. I will wait for the right guy but I don't want my first time to be painful I want to enjoy it. Sooo could I buy a dildo and get the pain out of the way without the guy so when I come to have sex I wont be in pain? Does that work, or even if I have a dildo, will my first time having sex be painful? Is there any gel or stimulant to make me lubricated, I have mastapated before and no fluid has come so I am really worried that I don't produce that much! Also I can only fit one/ sometimes two fingers up there!
Please reply, I really need advice!
I'm totally confused about my relationship, where it's going, I mean. I'm 14 years old and I have a 16 year old boyfriend, he's turning 17 in a few months. Since he's older, I know he has more sexual feelings and things like that, but I don't think I understand completely. We always fool around...kind of sexually...but not completely. We haven't had sex yet, and I think he might want to. I really don't know if I'm ready, mentally. I think it might ruin the relationship, I don't know what to tell him, or what to do when we start fooling around again. I mean, I enjoy it, but don't know how far to go with it, or where to stop. I feel like I need to talk to him, but no words come out. Whenever we "fool around" he asks like, "Is this okay?" or "Do you want me to stop?" I always let him do whatever, I don't mind at the time. But later on I really regret it, and wish I would have said something. What should I do?
During my teens while cleaning my private parts I indulged in shaking and by doing that I got the sensation and slowly and steadily white fluid used to come out. Due to that I used to stammer a lot while speaking and my hair had become half. But I had stopped and started to recover but but still I used to do it once or twice a year. For last one year I had not done it and saw personality improvements in me. Now I am about to get married, will it have any effect in my conceiving. Please, it is very urgent.
I lost my right ovary in March from an having an ovarian tumor, I am currently on the pill and my boyfriend uses condoms. However sometimes we fool around a little before he puts a condom on. My question is...what are the odds that I could still get pregnant considering my situation? What if he pre-ejaculates beforehand and doesn't tell me? I don't always take my pill the same time every night. Is it still effective? Plus my period is a day late, so I'm a little paranoid.
It seems like lately I am just becoming overwhelmed in worry about my self-image directly related to my penis size and performance. It seems like sometimes my penis varies in size and performance while I am masturbating. I am just wondering what are some tips or advice you can give me on how to get full performance and size out of my penis whether its technique or certain muscles to use.
I had my first real sexual experience a few months ago, but I don't really like to talk about it. The problem was that I guess I was a little too anxious and I didn't go about it quite the right way and as a result, I never reached orgasm. I am also not too sure if she did either, I can't even remember. I believe I am too young to be considered impotent, I have no problem "finishing" if it is by myself. At any rate, does this still make me a virgin?

A beautiful delicacy.Posted on 02 / 01 / 2015
I have never known as much excitement for a bakery as what I felt when I walked into Simply Raw. The elegant, sweet, and chic interior was like something from Marie Antoinette's decadent lifestyle; very beautiful and very lovely. There was a lunch menu, however I had nothing but sweets on my mind upon walking into the heaven. My partner and I elected to share a blueberry cheesecake and a chocolate almond cupcake. Served in cute china teacups and plates, these treats were so sweet and so precious it was nearly a shame to have eaten them. All options are also gluten-free (among a range of other clearly labelled restrictions such as sugar-free, lactose-free, etc). Coffee and juices were also on offer. The staff were lovely and hospitable, providing such a friendly atmosphere it felt like being at a friends home for afternoon tea. Despite being slightly more expensive than your average slice of cake, the cost is definitely worth it's weight as we have never had such a sweet delight (and we all know that vegan sweets are always going to be more expensive anyway).

Recommendations for medium/light-toned, engineered, $5 sq/ft?
I'm looking for a medium-to-light-tone engineered floor, preferably 5" or wider.
Definitely not blonde, but definitely not dark, hoping to avoid heavy red, golden, orange hues. Basically a neutral, medium-to-light toned wood.
I like the look of a lot of visible graining, and don't mind knots, etc.
My budget is $5 p/sq ft. I can go a little over, but not much.
The pic below is a lot like what I have in mind. This one is too distressed, but I'm okay with a little distressing. Love the French bleed, but not a requirement.
Thanks for any input!

Thanks so much, Floortech. Your suggestion led me to a local store with a great selection, and brought home a beautiful LR flooring sample board.
I also took home 2 sample boards of Columbia (Pagosa in Campfire Hickory and Gunnison in Brown Sugar Walnut.)
Would love to hear your 2 cents on quality of Columbia.

Was Santa good to you?
I was thrilled to get some new gardening tools, the sharpener for my Felco pruners, a new heater for my birdbath and a gift card to a nursery for a new rose this spring!
Did Santa bring you anything for your garden?
I got some really froufrou feminine gifts such as Deer Off, for lovely scent; knee pads which are better than a day at the spa; and a huge bag of bird seed, which makes a delicious, low calorie snack. What more could a girl want? Diane
I hope everyone got some great gardening gifts, too!
We've long ago given up the idea of gifting for adults, but it's my special pleasure to give extra donations to favorite causes such as Sea Shepherd, the ASPCA, The Ocean Conservatory, help for wolves, seals, turtles, snow leopards, domestic animals.....and on and on. Would love to have millions of dollars to be able to bring about some significant change. I didn't forget myself, ordered three roses lately, and artisan-created earrings and a vintage necklace from e-bay.
Nothing garden-related. My older son and his girlfriend got me a set of two big wooden trunk-like boxes with roosters on them (I'm a chicken/rooster collector). Also got a pair of scissors that are paper shredders. Interesting. My younger son and his girlfriend gave me a new beater for my Kitchenaid mixer that has a rubber flap on the edge to make scraping the bowl easier. Oh and a big fancy metal spatula for getting up cookies or whatever. Nothing from my husband, altho he did stop by HD to see if they got their bareroots in yet. They didn't. Last yr on Xmas Eve they had a bunch and he picked a few of them up for me. Unfortunately they all died. Maybe it's better that he didn't find any this yr. LOL
I got an old stained glass window (of roses) for my horsebox ....and because I had been remiss in leaving book lists around, I bought a stash for myself. Also, a great cabinet for my seeds, a winter cherry (subhirtella autumnalis).....but mostly, a peaceable day (a massive blessing in our argumentative household).....although now we have arrived at Boxing Day, it is no holds barred and shoutiness as usual. No fisticuffs yet though (so far),
I just love you`all!!! I find myself reading these posts and believing I know each of you!!! After years of reading this forum I think of you`all as dear friends that live far away! Looks like great gifts were received by all! My husband made me a beautiful book filled with pictures of my garden of 2013. He has made them before, so I can see the beauty and differences each year brings. He does this on the computer and it means the world to me. Sometimes I forget the beauty and focus on the troubles ( Voles, blackspot, beetles!) All the joy gardening can bring to each of you in 2014! Cheers...Lesley
Sounds like we all had a wonderful Holiday!
Kim, I so envy you that 76 degrees and 12% humidity!!! Wishing you good rains in 2014!
Steve, maybe you can get some of Santa's elves to help you plant!
Lol, Nana, I love your"froufrou" gifts!
Ingrid, that is so kind and thoughtful of you!
My best friend (since kindergarten no less) is a chicken collector, Beth!
Maybe it is a trend, Carol!
Oh, Camp, your window sounds lovely! Post a picture when it goes in. We managed to not have too many "fireworks" here too. It was tough with 3 of us in the kitchen tripping over each other most of the day!
Lesley, so true! Sometimes I'm closer to everyone here than I am to the people around me. You guys just understand me so much!
Sounds like everyone is having a happy holiday. Wishing you all the best this coming new year!
There were great successes and sad losses for us this year, but thankful for all our blessings.
Christmas gifts for me included new gardening books, rose gloves and just the pleasure of some down time with family. Below is technically my sonâÂÂs gift, but a pleasure for the whole family. I guess she could be considered a gardening gift, as IâÂÂm sure she will be trying to help me out around the yard.
I got some men's rose gauntlets (my hands are too big for women's gloves), new chipper/shredder, and a plants v. zombies risk board game. :)
Rose gauntlets, a whole box of gardening tools, a self-propelled mower for my small patch of grass, jewels, new lifetime guarantee leather handbag, and best of all -- a huge trailer load of horse manure/wood shavings -- manure makes my heart go pitty-pat.
And like Ingrid we do our part to try to save the world and it's animals from humans, which is a daunting task it seems. Gardeners as a whole seem to be more sensitive to what we're doing to our environment. If Wall Street and the banks were run by gardeners, the world would be a better place.
Aaaw what a cute puppy!!
The chicken thing, for me, started way back before my husband and I got married. I was collecting kitchen things ahead of time for when we did get married, and just happened to like the chickens and roosters theme. It started with a beautiful ceramic chicken that I put in a basket with excelsior. It just kinda grew from there. Then about ten yrs ago (maybe more) I discovered why I had this passion for them. I was born in the yr of the rooster! That explained it! I'd love to have chickens in my back yard, and I'd love the eggs, but I'm afraid the chickens would eat the roses. I think the dog would eat the chickens. Acck! Nevermind...
Oh, Pat, your puppy is adorable!!! What her name?
Doc, my hands won't fit in the ladies gloves either but I find the fingers are too long on the men's gloves. Sigh...I guess I'm doomed to be gloveless.
Oooo, florida, I like the sound of those jewels, lol!
Beth, I don't think chickens eat roses. Never heard of that before. My friend Mary's obsession started with a painting she fell in love with of a a rooster and hens in a barn yard. She bought it but couldn't get it home as it was quite large. So it got passed around from friend to friend until some one could get it up North to her house. She's been getting and collecting chicken thing ever since.
I never had chickens eat my roses, but they did almost uproot several in their hunt for bugs. My girls were finally banished from the garden because of all the scratching and because they wouldn't quit laying eggs in my potted plants. The coyotes finally picked off the last hens, and I really miss them.
Hey Seil,
Her name is Bella, and she is a sweetheart! Our other dogs, cats and even horses are all rescues, but Bella was born to a friendâÂÂs dog the day my sonâÂÂs lab passed away. They insisted she be a Christmas gift for my son. He's always wanted a Golden Retriever, and well, who could resist this face:
BellaâÂÂs first selfie
knocking on wood
So far the biggest issue with have with the chickens and the roses is the digging and hunting for worms since the roses get some water.
They have sampled a leaf or two, but they must not taste good to chickens, or to our chickens. They do love apricot leaves.
My neighborâÂÂs chickens frequently get out of their pen and come over in our yard. They root around the base of the roses and generally make a mess, but I havenâÂÂt noticed them actually eating the roses. It is possible they are, and I just havenâÂÂt noticed. They are cute, but IâÂÂm really not a big fan of themâ¦brings back memories of constantly getting flogged by a neighborâÂÂs chickens growing upâ¦much prefer the decorative fake chickens sitting around my kitchen.
Sounds like a nice Christmas was had by all! And Bella is gorgeous, by the way!
Santa was good to me too - two new gardening books, a new pair of pruners, "Rose Cottage" Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle, new rock climbing shoes (VERY exciting!), and best of all, after 70+ hours of disrupted electrical service - during which the house reached a frosty 1 degree C - Santa arranged for the power to be restored late on Christmas Eve.
Oh, and I don't know Santa arranged this or not, but when the neighbour's tree dropped a 12-foot, ice-laden limb into our yard, not only did it not hurt anyone or destroy anything irreplaceable, but its absence renders my centre flower bed full sun!
Yes, I'm also glad your power is up and running, but my, was your house cold! How did the pipes survive it? I wish one of our trees would have an "accident" so some of my roses in too much shade would have more sun. Looks like you might have some firewood, too. Diane
Diane, once it hit 4C (39F) indoors we drained the pipes and shut the water off and ran to my husbands' folks' place, cat and all. The worst that happened was that the pilot light on the hot water tank went out, which isn't a big deal at all. When the tree broke it tore down our phone/internet/cable wire, but my hubby is very handy and he was able to MacGyver it back together until the servicemen can get here (which hasn't happened yet). And yes, we now have bountiful firewood!
BTW, my hubby thought I was nuts when "Hey, I can plant more roses now!" was the first thing out of my mouth after that branch came down! lol
About chickens - who woulda thunk they'd munch roses! I've been a city slicker my whole life and so never had any of my own, but I've been privileged to work in the company of many different types of animals, and I find it special no matter how 'mundane' the critters. Although now that I think of it, I could probably live without so many urban squirrels... talk about garden-destroying thugs!

Predicting the evolution of web design is like trying to milk a male goat. Despite ever-changing design trends and techniques, purists and idealists maintain that the principles of great design are timeless. This is true to an extent, but the recent rapid and consistent development of the Internet across many dimensions and in diverse ways has to be taken into account.
The Internet has provided us with such a huge platform to innovate and break design barriers; it allows the designer to apply variations and to slightly modify existing trends in order to make their mark. Global access to every kind of tool and technique is at the heart of this creative revolution, allowing designers from all over the world to explore new possibilities.
Once Again, we've got something special for our community. InstantShift again came up with cool freebies giveaway as promised. This is our way of saying thanks to our readers for being part of the iShift community and helping us make it to where we are right now.
This time we're pleased to announce our latest giveaway where you all have a chance to win five cool flash components from FlashTuning.

Being one's own boss is a lucrative profession for budding freelancers, but it has its own set of challenges. Being the boss implies that you take all the responsibility for your business. One lapse and you could ruin your reputation, without any guarantee that you'd have an opportunity for redemption.
One of the major challenges for the client of a freelancer is getting them to meet deadlines. Both parties have undoubtedly been witness to the deadline demon. I have had firsthand experience with this, having been the culprit on more than one occasion. Lucky for me, I was dealing with clients who were patient enough to cooperate and didn't let me go. I learned my lesson and offer the following list so that you do not have to experience the lesson the same way I did.
John Warnock and Charles Geschke founded Adobe Systems Inc. in December of 1982. John was working at Evans & Sutherland, where he began developing a concept that would allow printers to print text and images from a computer. Warnock and Geschke formulated this concept in 1982, and Adobe was born with their first product, Postscript.
The company continued to focus on improving their font printing technologies until 1986, when Adobe Illustrator was born for the Macintosh. "Illustrator 88″ was the first program to employ Bezier curves which allowed the most accurate vector drawings. In 1990, Adobe Photoshop was released to the public, bringing Adobe to the main stage.
Apps can save lives. Some make our lives easier, while others offer a cheap laugh. They help us get through boring meetings, providing us with more entertaining and stimulating tasks like slicing fruit, knocking over bird houses and transforming photos into artsy masterpieces. Without apps, how else could you see how you'd look 50 pounds heavier? Or in 30 years? Or as a zombie?
Yet the real life-changing stories involving apps come from the developers who birth them. The most popular apps go viral, selling like hotcakes and bringing in the bacon with no additional effort by their creators.
Whether you're an app consumer or producer, here are some interesting stats about these hot little digital commodities.

new dell km973 battery differences in price/quality
Likes # 0
Posted December 4, 2012 at 3:16PM
hi all, after some probs with charging my dell km973 battery is finally showing 5 lights on battery test so should probably be replaced. There seems to be a vast difference in prices from around £15 to £75. Can anyone recommend a seller or type. The current battery has lasted 3 years which is pretty good. Please let me know as Id better order soon!! Cheers

More cells = longer life = more cost so if you want longer battery hours you will need the 12 cell rather than the 9 cell.
Don't pay for brand name eg Dell Toshiba etc. as batteries are often just re-branded and price increased.
I bought a cheap £16 for my Toshiba last year and its just as good as the original.
Make sure you go through the correct charge re-charge cycles to get the best from your battery if you do not do the first cycle correctly then then battery will not last long at all.

cool, so an unbranded from a certain action site would be the deal then?

Even branded ones only last a few (3-4?) yrs, so you have nothing to lose. just make sure the 'well known auction site' seller has a good reputation!

"Laura's grandpa started Gifford's Flower Shop in 1938 in downtown Portland, just a few blocks from my studio! Her dad put up their gorgeous hop altar arrangement that was full of beautiful local blooms. They also used plenty of moss and ferns for that authentic NW feel."

LED Cans in bathroom
I am looking for advice on lighting on a bathroom remodel. Space is 8ftx8ft plus there is a 3ftx3ft space where the door swings in. I have already installed two LED sconces next to the mirror and a Broan Humidity Sensing Fan/Light in the middle of the room. As there are no ceiling lights, other than the night light on the Fan, we were planning on installing canned light fixtures. Without that much planning, I picked up three 6 inch cans (rated for contact with insulation at HD), and one Halo LED light housing intending to put it over the tub (yes, it is rated for showers). The other cans would go over the sink/vanity, and one near the 3ftx3ft entry way. I figured we could take our time and find appropriate units later.
In settling on the can locations, I have come to realize how limiting (and difficult) it is to place 6 inch cans when you only have 14.5 inches between the ceiling joists. Yes, 5 inch units would work better, and 4 inch would be even easier to center, but in general they would not be able to house lighting fixtures producing as much light. I am tempted to do down to 5" units, which per my understanding can also handle the 6 inch LED fixtures. Does anyone have any experience with a similar decision?
Most of all, I fear of making the ceiling look like Swiss Cheese � lots of big holes�
Also, might anyone have thoughts and experience with making LED lights dimmable? Our LED sconces are supposedly dimmable, and even with an LED specific dimmer - they yet to dim.
Thank you,
I have 6 of the 4 inch LEDs in my roughly 14x14 kitchen with a 10 foot ceiling. We do have an island fixture, but those LEDs provide a lot of light. They were originally halogen, but we replaced the bulbs with the HD EcoSmart/Cree retrofit kit (includes the trim and rim). I haven't tried other LEDs but I understand these have a nice bright white light and are well though of compared to others. I'd make a trip to Home Depot and try one. Screw it into a bare lamp and try it in the room to see what you think 3 or 4 would do for you.

More gardening dates.....
I met the young fellow who runs/owns this family business last summer- He was offering my old neighbors Hosta!!- who went out of business much to my dismay. I know these hosta- and they are grand- I can only bet the rest of what they have to offer is grand as well!
This is an abbreviated version of their seminars and events-
Mar 4- Spring ahead with your garden plans- @ Winsome Orchids 1pm
Apr 1- Orchids for the home & Rescued MN native Orchids for the garden- @ Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, Mound, 9am-2pm
May 20&21- Open House- 235 varieties of hosta plus rescued MN Native orchids- Winsome Orchids, Maple Plain MN
I will check out their website and try to get to an event or two- and thought some of you may be interested too!
If you are out to Mound, that's only 4-5 miles from me. I'm not sure I'll go to the seminar, but you're all welcome to come over for a peak. My hellebore might be blooming, and of course, the pussywillows(4 species), but that would be about it.
Julie, just how do you figure Mound is "just down the road" from you? Have you been sniffing Labrador tea steam again?
I was confused and thought it was the church off of no name lake on my way to Medina down Cty Rd 9......
Thankfully, I had Googled it already and realized my mistake- But thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I also saw how close we were to you.... So, what's for lunch?
Okay, Confusijulie, how's pumpkin soup grab you all? Quick, simple and easy. Now that it's on my mind, I'm going to make it tomorrow anyway, whether anyone comes or not. And there is always the peanut butter sandwhich for the unadventurous.
MMMmm Yummers!
I will bring something to go along with it- and chocolate of course! I wouldn't forget chocolate for the tall fellow of St Boni!
Our day and numbers are still up in the air ( we may be bringing a suprise guest)- I will call you with the details if/when they become clear...
