FAQs about California King Mattresses
When you are shopping for a mattress, you have a lot of choices to make, and the size is one of the most important. Since the 1960s, you've had one more choice: the California king.

Before you pick which king mattress is right for you, here are a few of the best reasons to choose a California king bed.
How to Secure King-size Duvet Covers

Leather handbags are always in fashion. Whether you carry a large tote or a smaller hobo-style leather purse, your handbag is sure to be a durable, timeless addition to your outfit. Go casual or dressy, and there will be a leather bag that coordinates. Available in smooth dyed cowhide or a variety of animal prints and textures, the top leather handbag styles include the hobo, satchel, tote, shoulder bag and clutch. Hobo. One of the most common bags, the hobo handbag is a great day-to-day option. The top layer of many leather hobo handbags> is made from top-grain leather, since it can be dyed in any color imaginable. The hobo handbag comes in many different sizes, but it is never considered bulky or oversized. A leather hobo handbag can easily accommodate a wallet, cell phone and other personal items with room to spare. Satchel. Top-grain and full-grain leather are commonly used to make satchel handbags. Made for women on the go, the durable leather satchel handbag offers a chest-crossing strap. Satchel handbags leave your hands free to open doors, maneuver strollers or carry shopping bags. Look for a leather satchel handbag with compartments and pockets for convenience. Tote. This oversized handbag option is popular with women who need to carry heavier loads to work or around town. The leather tote has a large capacity that allows you to carry paperwork, a laptop or lunch. Also used by modern mothers, a large leather tote can easily double as a purse-diaper bag combo. A tote's long straps make it easy to throw the bag over your shoulder and go. Shoulder bag. The most versatile handbag is the leather shoulder bag. This handbag commonly has two straps for carrying ease. A short option allows the bag to rest on the shoulder and fit snugly under the armpit. The longer strap allows the bag to rest against the hip when you drape it over your shoulder. Leather shoulder bags can be found in soft suede or top-grain leather. Clutch. The small, hand-held leather clutch may also be referred to as a coin purse. Just large enough to hold your daily essentials -- a little cash, identification, a credit card or two, cell phone and a tube of lipstick -- the clutch is perfect for short trips to the store or a special evening out.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD was released on the 27th December on PlayStation Network and it seems the Xbox classic may be headed to Xbox Live Arcade, if Microsoft will bend the rules on size limitations on XBLA titles.
According to developer Just Add Water, the game's 2.1GB size is a mere .1 GB over the file size limit, and the developer has been negotiating with Microsoft on allowing it to have an exception.
"We've basically run everything dry in terms of going some kind of first-party route with Microsoft, be it them publishing it or be it us publishing it ourselves. So we're now having to go down the third-party route," stated CEO Stewart Gilray in an interview with VG247.
The developer is also negotiating with "two or three" publishers, with the idea of having an announcement by Easter.
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD earned a 9.0/10 score for the PlayStation Network version by Strategy Informer. Check out the review here.

Thompson said Tunica had come a long way since it was brought to the national spotlight by impoverished conditions along Sugar Ditch.

way way way off topic ....
Hey ladies :)
How do you tell a co-worker (part-time supervisor)... that she has extremely bad breath??
I almost think its medical or diet something ... needs attention I have offered breath mints gum ... it can be smelled almost 4 to 5 feet away thats why I am thinking its a medical issue ...the mints do not help neither does the gum.
How can she not know or smell it ... top it all off she is a gossiper so she likes to get real close to tell you the story ... I move to her side so its not directly in my face ... all of my other co-workers talk about it ...so its not just me ...
I am not friendly enough with her to say "hey do you have something going on that would cause your breath to stink that badly on a daily consistent basis!!"
She lost over 150lbs in the last few years no clue if she did it with diet or surgery met her after she lost the weight but I have seen pictures of when she was a big girl.
So I wonder if she had gastric bypass if that is a side effect of the surgery??? there is no distinct smell to it like garlic or onion or any other odor ... it just lingers..
I think of a "green cloud" lingering over her head when she is talking ...kind of distracting :)
So how can I tactfully ask is it medical?? diet ?? without insulting her ...sadly I think anyway I ask/say something it will offend her.
That's the worst pseudo. You can say something, but be prepared for her to hate you. It's a greater service to say it but oh-so-difficult.
I'd make sure it's really private, pull her aside where she won't have to walk past anyone else who she might think would be in on what you're saying (less embarrassing). And then just tell her that you want her to know that her breath sometimes stinks and you know that it's hard to tell if your own breath stinks...
I wouldn't ask if it's medical... Maybe you could have a "friend" who had really bad breath and your "friend" went to the doctor because sometimes it's medical. I'd express concern for her health, but not ask that directly.
Does your company have a Human Resources department or liason? If so, I would report it to them. They can treat it objectively as a management issue, getting you and other members of the department off the hook. It's also somewhat less humiliating for the person.
Even her supervisors comment on it :) no one will say anything to her directly ... I think its the one topic that is so off-limits anywhere ... I mean if it were a one-shot deal you know or a once in a while event I could overlook it but its a consistent problem. KWIM if your pal has bad breath you could say something because its not an everyday occurance.
The general manager is sort of a bully so coming from him it would be taken as offensive ... others make fun of her ... I try to defend her saying it must be diet or medical but she is rather abrasive herself ...
I have to work with her tonight so thats why I was looking for some advice ..
I'd suggest HR as well. I know somewhere I've seen a "sample business letter" which addresses this; it was very tactful and made references to the recipient's good qualities. I know where I worked we had a fair number of "guest engineers" and HR had to sometimes discuss personal hygiene issues with them.
I have no suggestions. I am the one with the headphones on avoiding all the bodily function noises and humming and chomping that goes on in my dept. Never the one that speaks up.
BUT something came to mind. You say she lost a lot of weight? My sister takes phentermine (a prescription diet drug) and it gives her extreme dry mouth. To the point of when she talks her lips sometimes get 'stuck' on her teeth because her mouth is SO dry and she often has bad breath. 1. From smoking and 2. The dry mouth.
If she is on medication that cause dry mouth, that might be your answer to 'why'? Also if she drinks coffee with cream, smokes .. That adds to it. Do you think she is actually brushing her teeth in the mornings? I used to be in the dental field lol you guys don't laugh ... Dental to accountant .. Lol ok anyway - if she has severe sinus issues, she will have bad breath.. Notice any sneezing, coughing or complaints about sinus issues? She may not even realize it's effecting her.
My ex often did not brush his teeth at bedtime. He would fall asleep in the recliner and then shuffle half asleep to the bedroom, strip and fall in the bed... I had to start saying, 'let's get ready for bed before we turn the tv on' and then I would brush my teeth and he would follow my example. Not the same situation but wondering of she brushed during the day if that would help.
I brush at work because I try to keep myself from drinking too much coffee or snacking... So I brush and gargle twice sometimes three times a day. A few ladies liked the 'smell' of my fresh clean mouth just walking in to the room so they asked, 'do you brush at work?'. Why yes. Yes I do. And so now several of us are 'work' brushers...
I second the go to the HR dept if that doesn't work, maybe just take her away quietly or step outside.
I did have to confront someone about something embarrassing once and she was actually quite grateful. Granted it wasn't her breath but it was her perfume. I was sneezing all day and because I was miserable I finally just said 'hey can I talk to you for a minute? I love your perfume but I think I'm allergic to it' and she was like omg! Everyone has been sneezing and I thought you guys just had colds... Thank you sooo much for telling me how embarrassing. She just switched and didn't wear as much.
Good luck and Hey be sure to let us know what you do and how it turns out
I brushed my teeth at work once and a colleague saw it and asked "what is it a camp now?" LOL
I would not say anything but talk to HR, let them handle it.
I think bad breath is such sensitive issue that i would not want to be the one addressing it
My DH has an issue with bad breath, and it has nothing to do with his brushing habits. It's caused by a build up of plaque on his tongue -- which is the source of the foul odor. He uses mouth wash and a tongue scraper to deal with it and that takes care of it temporarily until the next flare up. His dentist says it's not uncommon and it's something he may have to deal with for the rest of his life.
He is mostly unaware that his breath is bad until I tell him...and he is always so embarrassed. But, I know he appreciates me telling him and saving him from further embarrassment at work or in social situations.
I'm not sure how you should handle this with your co-worker, but maybe you could print off some info on plaque, or get it from a dentist's office, and pass it along to her in a kind, non-judgemental manner.

Puritans and Quakers Too bad we didn't get the Italian party boats!! Puritan Beliefs Predestination-fate was decided by god (idea from John Calvin) The Elect. "City on Hill…the eyes of the people are upon us"- Winthrop on Mass. Bay Colony…the beginning of "American Exceptionalism" Education for all Hard Work Material Success a "sign" from god that you were among "the elect" Hard work+Education+Virtuous living = Success and heavenly reward Problems with the Puritans Self-Righteousness led to double standard of "sins" for non-believers Hypocricy- Uneven application of laws Intolerance Narrow-Mindedness Scapegoating…led to Trials Self-hatred "could never fully believe they were free from sin". No Fun-Dancing/music/sexuality/ Lasting Puritan Contributions Public Schools Puritan Conscience Witch trials lead to reforms in church and a more rational sense of god and the devil Trials Pointed to need for church/state separation Trials lead to protections of the accused in modern court system American Exceptionalism- Winthrop's City on the Hill. The idea that Americans are better than others. What caused Witchcraft Hysteria in 1691-6? Revocation of Colonial Charter Belief in witches and warlocks Famine/Crop failures before trials Smallpox epidemic-why us? Shifting economic power leading to class conflict between rich and poor in village and town Scapegoating Conversion Hysteria Magic Mushroom/Poison/Drugs Acting Out"/Peer pressures Sexual repression of teenage desires Some Salem Images Effects of Witch Trials Questioning of authority of Church Great Awakening Increased reliance on reason and rationality Puritans are called Congregationalists today STAR TEST ALERT! For some reason the STAR test loves …. The Great Awakening- A religious revival/resurgence in the colonies in the 1730-50's. It represented a separation of church and state and a less-rigid more rational approach than, say, Salem and it's witches. People began to question the traditional church authority. The Second Great Awakening- 1790s-1830 Another revival around the time of slavery and pre- civil war. First appearance of "revival meetings" This time religious leaders morally opposed slavery. Many, less popular but significant sects formed: LDS (Mormons), Jehova's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists. The Quakers: A different approach …Now Even OATIER! Quaker Beliefs Purity through intuition…not church dogma Practical education Pacifism Avoidance of Oaths Martyrdom Generally poorer than Puritans Quaker Faults No Political Viability or power Pacifism led to indian raids and exclusion from colonial acceptance No institutions = No political power Contributions of Quakers Belief in absolute equality Opposition to slavery Tradition of open-mindedness and tolerance for different beliefs and races. Quakers never really flourished, but remained a benign force for Peace and non-violence

Go Green With Gift-Wrap
This year, discover pretty packaging that celebrates the holidays, au naturel.
By: Holly Christian and Deb Mortoglou
Forget the gold and the glitz. It really is the thought that counts when your holiday gifts are wrapped in clever packaging that doesn't cost an arm and a leg — or a tree. Recycled boxes or tubes, scraps of corrugated cardboard, bits of fabric or art paper, buttons, beads, raffia and a sprig or two of something green are all it takes to create unique gift cards and wrapping. The environment will thank you and so will the lucky recipients.
What could be cozier than corduroy on a cold winter night? Recycled boxes get a makeover thanks to glue and old fabric scraps. Buttons add the final festive touch. You can also make your own boxes by disassembling one and turning it into a template, or by buying templates available at craft stores.
Make cards using fabric scraps, torn paper, beads, wire, corrugated cardboard, raffia, glue and a visit to the button box. They'll be as original as they come.
Cheery holiday fabrics can be stitched or fused into a simple sac for everything from a soccer ball to a bottle of wine. Tie shut with raffia, decorate with a sprig of holly or mistletoe and you've got it wrapped up.
The texture of corrugated cardboard provides a great foil for raffia bows and feathery evergreens. Look for corrugated cardboard in lightbulb packages and candy boxes. The "ribbon" on the art-paper boxes is really beads strung on a wire topped off with a seed pod.

Soy beans
Hello all,
Please tell me about growing soy beans. I'm in zone 6. Curious as to when to plant & when they would be finished.
The big reason for the question is the spot I have in mind for them is where I put cole crops at the end of summer. Thing is that spot is wasted space all spring & most of the summer, Gotta grow something there.
Ed, I'm not sure soybeans would be the best choice for that application. The soil needs to be completely warm before soybeans can be planted (around June 1st here) and even the early edamame varieties (like "Envy" or "Agate") wouldn't be ready until at least August... and longer than that if you intend to save dry seed. It depends, I suppose, on when you plant cole crops in your area... and whether you direct seed early, or use transplants late. Peas would probably be a better choice for succession planting, since they would be out by July or so.
Thanks zeedman,
Our peas die off as soon as it gets hot, end of June at the latest. All the cole crops are raised from seed in the basement, can't begin to put them outside until the very end of Aug. or first of Sept, otherwise they bolt. I guess part of me is thinking tons of soybeans growing even If I don't get a huge harvest is good for the soil. Had to ask the question to begin with because my wife just saw how great soybeans are on Dr.Oz. Your thoughts-advice?
Hello, we grew Hokkaido black soy this summer here in zone 7a at SLC didn't plant until late June it was a beautiful trouble free crop. This cultivar is reputed to be superior as an edamame. I can't say for sure that they are as we harvested all as dry beans. We harvested the first weekend in October They cook up nicely but threshing them is an awful lot like work. I would think if you harvested early as edamame you'd have plenty of time to plant cabbages. We didn't inoculate and I wish we had they seemed to thrive but the roots didn't have many visible nitro nodes. So I'd say inoculate ,harvest green and enjoy.
Ed, it sounds like you warm up a bit earlier than I do; and since you won't put in your transplants until September, you should be able to harvest edamame soybeans by then. If you can plant the soybeans before June, any variety would work... but I would still recommend that you use an early or mid-season variety.
Regardless of which variety you choose, cut the stems off at the ground during harvest, leaving the roots. The nitrogen they release as the roots break down will feed the transplants.
Many seed companies carry edamame soybeans, but most have only one or two. These carry two or more:
Seed Savers Exchange
Peace Seeds
For early varieties, I recommend "Agate" (SSE), "Cha Kura Kake" (Peace) and "Midori Giant" (Territorial). The later main-season varieties tend to have larger seeds & heavier yields; I would recommend "Sayamusume" (Territorial), "Shirofumi" (SSE), "Oosodefuri" (Peace) or "Butterbean" (sold by Johnny's).

July garden photos
Well the rain has stopped and the heat wave is in full effect. We have only dropped out of the 90's a time or two. The garden is not where I want it but it's coming along.
My windmills.
Sabal minor bloom.
My bismarkia fronds with cannas in the background.
My new crape myrtle
Silver euro palm
Some agaves that just don't stop growing.
This hibicus has two different color blooms
Naners and EE's
Thanks for looking,
As I view your pics, I reflexively divide them all into ones that I can include in the garden and those that are a real challenge.
Problem Plants: Hydrangeas, Hibiscus, Euonymous, and Hosta.
Safe plants: Crape Myrtles, palms, Yucca, Opuntia, Elephant ears, bananas, and Agave.
I would have includes Canna as safe--until the deer ate them--leaves and flowers.
P.S. What is the shrub between the Trachys in the first picture>
Those are azaleas, some are newer than others. I didn't like the location of the shrubs when I move here. The leaves vary slightly but when the plant fills in more it shouldn't be noticable, I hope!
I have seen deer eating the apples right off of my apple tree, but they have never bothered any plants. My biggest problem would be the insects leaving pinholes in all the leaves.
Thanks Hunter, that is actually the front of my house. The bed is a giant U shape where you can walk into the center.
This is the side of my house. I removed a maple tree last year so now this area gets afternoon sun. But the azaleas are still having a hard time. The nandina firepower is right at home. I have the windmill on a severe lean, I hope that it gives the plant an interesting shape as it grows.
Alex- I was wondering how your angle trumpets are doing? Mine are about 3' high and I am not seeing any signs of blooming this year. Everyone else's around here is about twice that in size. I'm thinking I may need to leave them in the ground this year and protect them if I don't get any blooms.
Looking good there Chad buddy.
Your Rose mallow is way ahead of mine.
If it's that warm there you can water those Trachys practically
everyday,they don't seem to mind the heat as much this way...
In their "native" habitat monsoon rains blitz them quite
often during the warm season....winter being the dry time.
That's why we see so many probs with overwintering them in(most of) the U.S.
Looking good!
I like the Siam ruby,one of the prettiest bananas IMO!
Hunter, I have 4 needles planted throughout my yard. The largest one is in full sun and the others are in my shade garden infront of the house.
Here are a few pics.
another windmill with 3 sabal minors planted around it. the minor in front is a sabal Louisiana seedling.
Trachycarpus Princeps not sure if you can see the white on the fronds due to the rain we have had today.
These make for really good potted palms also if you don't know for sure when or if you will be moving back to zone 7.
Not sure about that, as slow as a needle grows it will grow even slower in a pot. It's a very nice looking palm, just keep it happy and in time it will reward you. I have an trachy waggie thats about the same size as yours an the fronds have not split yet. And one with a 2" trunk that has the fronds split. But every palm is different.
HardyPalmFreak- I have never protected the large needle palm or any of the minors. the large minors with the costapalmate fronds are new this year and will get protected along with the trachys and small needles.
I also protect my seedlings- sabal birmingham, brazoia, savannah ga. and louisiana. If these were of a 3 gallon size they would not get any protection either.
Thanks Protempsfish!
Jacklord, nobody else grows any tropicals around here. All you ever see are yuccas and opuntias. You will come across afew windmills in downtown Winston Salem. But no tropical gardens. I tend to make everyone jealous.
Andy and Alex I hope yall got some rain cause it ain't stopping down here.
Looks like the heavy rain axis has shifted away from us....
hardly a drop here after almost 18" in 6(or so) weeks.
Princeps look great!
Glad to see you scored some rain-time to pull the hose
out here..... for only the second time this year.
They are saying maybe temps around 100 here,end of next week.
Jim, that might be a good thing, the heat is whats causing all of our storms. With the right front you could get some afternoon rain as well. Just hope you don't get the lightin storms we have been having. I have seen large oaks and maples brought down this week!

Climbing Pinky w/working photo!
The link on my last post did not work. Sorry all. Here is a link that should work: Climbing Pinky, at three years old.
Here is a link that might be useful: Climbing Pinky
Thanks for the working photo :-) I was curious to see it since I have one planted next to my garden shed and just installed a trellis for it. I look forward to the next 2 years (it's a little over 1 now). Mine has room to roam over the top and side of said shed.
I was going to plant Peggy Martin on the other side but now I think Cl. Pinky may need both sides.
Your specimen is incredibly beautiful, and I want to cry because mine is barely blooming even though it's fairly large and I've had it for a few years. I don't think it has enough sun and I have nowhere else to put it. I may just need to grit my teeth, take it out and put in a rose that can tolerate the shade more. Does yours get sun all day long?
Thanks, everyone. Since it is only three years old, I haven't pruned it yet other than to cut back the canes that spiral out of control onto my porch. Its bushy appearance is a bit deceptive; it has long canes that I tie to the porch rails and then let fall forward. So it is more of a cascade than a bush. It does get sun almost all day long, although the afternoon sun is indirect. I give it alfalfa when I think of it, but it is almost embarrassing how little care it gets.

@eefiSabHKS: 32 years being Hungarian might be not enough for me to learn the "Hungarian mind" perhaps. I would be glad if we were outwit, outsmart, and outperform for example those who will take away the private pension funds, and who take away my chance to select the Hungarian media what I like.
I hope we will be able to outperform the regulation that I have to register my own private blog to the Media Authority according the new regulation. I hope I will be able to learn to read in the lines of the news, as they did my parents and teachers in the Communism as in the seek of balanced media we will be end up in the same restriction we had that time.
There were a political joke from that time: "What is the difference between US and Hungary? In Hungary you have the freedom to express your own opinion. In US you have the freedom after you expressed your opinion."

work-life balance was not near ideal. In my particular office the culture was your work is your life, no exceptions. This is not the case in all departments and I would still recommend this employer.
In my particular department work-life balance should have been considered and respected more as having balance would not affect an employees performance or productivity.

Ejaculation problems, such as premature ejaculation, are common sexual problems in men.
The three main problems are:
These are described in more detail below.
Premature ejaculation is the most common ejaculation problem. It is where the male ejaculates too quickly during sexual intercourse.
Many men are unsure about how long 'normal' sex should last before ejaculation. A study looking at 500 couples from five different countries found the average time between a man putting his penis into his partner's vagina and ejaculation was around five-and-a-half minutes.
However, it's up to the individual and his partner to decide whether or not they're happy with the time it takes for him to ejaculate. There is no definition of how long intercourse should last.
Occasional episodes of premature ejaculation are common and not a cause for concern. However, if you're finding that around half of your attempts to have intercourse result in premature ejaculation, it might help to get treatment.
Most men with this problem won't have always had it – they'll have previously ejaculated normally. This may be referred to as 'secondary' premature ejaculation.
It's less common for the man to have always experienced premature ejaculation (since becoming sexually active) – this is known as 'primary' or lifelong premature ejaculation. It affects around one in 50 men in England. In most cases of lifelong premature ejaculation:
Delayed ejaculation (male orgasmic disorder) is classed as either:
There is no set definition to describe 'how long is too long', but a persistent (and unwanted) delay of ejaculation that lasts for 30 to 60 minutes may suggest delayed ejaculation.
Alternatively, if you are unable to achieve ejaculation at least half the times you have sex, you may have delayed ejaculation.
As with premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation can be either acquired or lifelong. Lifelong delayed ejaculation is less common and affects an estimated one in 1,000 men.
Delayed ejaculation can occur in all sexual situations, or just in certain situations – for example, you may be able to ejaculate normally when masturbating, but not during sex. When delayed ejaculation only happens in certain situations, there's usually a psychological cause.
Retrograde ejaculation is a rarer type of ejaculation problem. It happens when sperm travels backwards and enters the bladder instead of coming out of the end of the urethra (the tube through which urine passes).
The main symptoms of retrograde ejaculation include:
Men with retrograde ejaculation still experience the feeling of an orgasm and the condition does not pose a danger to health. However, it can affect the ability to father a child (read about infertility).
Premature ejaculation can be treated with medication, such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) type of antidepressant, which can help delay ejaculating.
Couples therapy, a form of counselling, can be useful in coming up with techniques for partners to practice to help delay ejaculation.
Recommended treatments for delayed ejaculation depend on the underlying cause. If it is thought to be a side effect of medication, switching to an alternative medication will help. However, if the cause is thought to be psychological, counselling may be recommended.
Most men do not require treatment for retrograde ejaculation because they are still able to enjoy a healthy sex life and the condition does not affect their health. In some cases, medication may be used to help restore normal ejaculation.
However, if you want to have children, you may need fertility treatment to extract a sample of sperm.

Ejaculation problems are complex and can be caused by a number of things, including:
Some researchers think certain men are more prone to premature ejaculation because of their biological make-up, such as having an unusually sensitive penis.
Retrograde ejaculation is caused by damage to nerves or muscles that surround the neck of the bladder (the point where the urethra connects to the bladder). This damage can often occur as a complication of prostate or bladder surgery.
Read more about the causes of ejaculation problems.
Premature ejaculation is the most common type of ejaculation problem.
A number of surveys have found around one in three men reported being affected by premature ejaculation. The true figure is probably much higher as many men are reluctant to admit they have this problem.
While less common, delayed ejaculation is probably more of a problem then most people realise. One study found around one in 20 people had problems achieving an orgasm over the course of a month during the past year.
Although retrograde ejaculation is rare, it can be a common complication of some types of surgery, such as prostate surgery, or in men with certain health conditions that can damage the nerves, such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis.
If you are having problems with your sex life and are seeking treatment, it is usually recommended you involve your partner as much as possible.
Communicating your concerns can often go a long way to helping to resolve them. And in some cases your partner may also have their own problems that are contributing towards problems with your sex life.
For example some women are unable to reach climax during 'normal' intercourse and require manual or oral stimulation.
Read more about why talking about sex is important.
Finding blood in your semen (haematospermia) can be alarming. However, in most cases it's not serious and will pass within a few days.
The most likely cause is infection of your urethra (urethritis) and prostate (prostatitis).
See your GP if the symptoms persist, or visit your local genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic because the causes may be more serious.

Re retarded ejaculation: I have been taking Cialis for some four years which most of the time gives me a decent erection. However in the last year or two my ejaculations have been few and far between, sometimes not producing much semen. The doctor says there is no magic he can offer to restore my ejaculations. I believe my medications could be the cause: atorvastatin 20, and for BP amlodipine 10. The problems commenced before I was recently put on clonazapam by the neurologist.

Delayed ejaculation, I didn't even know it was a thing until recently, I worry although it's only happened once but I was able to go all night and I climaxed almost but pull a stitch during intercourse and this has played on my mind; now with regards to what causes ejaculation problems, none of those above causes have related as of yet, touch wood but my sex drive I can admit is not where it was say 6 months ago. Before I go to my GP or clinic, could I help the situation by some how trying something to stimulate me by increasing sensitivity of my penis? I really don't want to be in the situation where my partner feels she can't satisfy me when she can.

You've got to be careful using antidepressant medication to treat premature ejaculation - or you end up with an erectile dysfunction (weak erection) problem as well.

I need some advice. I am in a relationship and we have had intercourse several times over our 2 and half years together. I suffer from premature ejaculation and it has now got to a stage where my girlfriend would rather avoid physical contact with me, rather then trying to help me overcome this issue. I have previously been married and we had a very active sex life, but it all ended pretty badly. I have become overweight and suffer clinical depression and anxiety. I also suffer from Sleep apnoea which unfortuneatly creates a barrier in itself as its tough to get physical and even just cuddle when I have to wear the mask. I am on alot of medication for severe Knee pain due to an accident I had at work prior to my previous marriage collapsing. I know I am under alot of pressure and stress and I know that these are contributing factors. I just need to know if there is anything that can be done to help as at the moment I feel my girlfriend is going to look elsewhere as I can't give her the satisfaction she desires through penetrative sex. Please Help!!!

One of the more effective processes to delay ejaculation is always to actually process ejaculating all by your self. You actually have to practice starting after which stopping, and, by the time you're on a sexual act together with your partner, likely to surely notice a noticable difference.There are many methods that men can try to be able to stop premature ejaculation naturally. Remember too that there is actually absolutely no magic pill or cream that may instantly stop pre adult ejaculation.

My problems started about 18 months ago, starting with erectile dysfunction, went to the doctor and explained to him and ended up taking viagra which really did not work, then I was given Cialis, works sometimes, however the other problem in the inability to ejaculate, i had a vasectomy many years ago, so there is nothing arriving from my testicals, but again nothing from the prostate, I have had prods and probes up and down everwhere, next is a scan of my prostate and kidneys, I forgot about 6-8 weeks ago I did ejaculate but most of it was blood, any ideas people.I ave bought and used with my wife many implements designed to help get erections and ejaculate, while this has been fun for both of us it was of limited success :-(My age a young 60

Getting rid of Tiger Lilies
We moved into our new house that has basically no landscaping except this huge patch of Tiger Lilies that takes up about a 5'X10' section of our back yard. It looks terrible! There has to be about 150 to 200 bulbs in that section. Is there any way to kill them without having to dig them all up? Thanks for your help!!
Yes - I would either dig them up and offer them to other gardeners who would love to have them, or put an ad at a local garden center, grocery store, newspaper, a place where gardening clubs meet - often there is a lily or daylily club, that would come and dig them up in return for keeping the bulbs themselves.
If these are what you want to remove, I would love to have them - in fact a lot of people would love to have them. It took me years to grow them from tiny bulbils and build up a collection. They are gorgeous in summer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tiger Lilies
I would love to have some too. Even if you tried to kill them all you would succeed in is killing the fans the roots would keep growing so you would still have to dig them up in the end. Soak the area and use a pitch fork style garden tool to lift out all the root system. Then Trade away.
Ask for postage or for plants you want instead....
Can you keep us all in mind please?
Are you talking about bulb lilies or the orange wild daylilies? A huge stand of the bulb lilies (such as shown in Pitimpanai's link) would be fabulous.
If it was the orange daylily that would be less fabulous...as Mysticmoon says, you have to keep digging them. I have an area I cleared earlier this year (the daylilies). Baby fans keep popping up. I was expecting this, though. Periodically I soak the ground and go in with a skinny tool and uproot them. Eventually I will locate and remove all the tiny tubers.
I wouldn't do a major overplanting in this area for a year if it IS a stand of daylilies you are removing. If it is bulb lilies I think a stray one or two would not be that hard to get out later.
I also have a TON of these in my back yard and it's so overgrown that it just looks ugly now. I am also trying to figure out how far down I have to dig in order to get them out. I will definitely give them away to people that want them because I know they can be very pretty. I am in no way experienced with gardening (I think the last time I planted something it was in 5th grade for Mother's Day), but I fully intend to at least learn how to make that area look better.
you can put outdoor carpet over them with a loads of dirt on top then take dirt and carpet off later hopefully their gone

Texas unemployment fell to 4.3 percent during February for the sixth straight month of declines, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Friday.
IberiaBank Corp., a Louisiana holding company of the 126-year-old IberiaBank, and First Private Holdings Inc., holding company of Dallas-based First Private Bank of Texas, announced Feb. 11 the signing of a definitive agreement for IBKC to acquire First Private via merger for $64 million.
The proposed merger has been approved by the boards of each company and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals and the approval of First Private's shareholders.
"We are delighted to partner with a team that can help us expand in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, as we did over the last three years in Houston," said Daryl G. Byrd, president and CEO of IberiaBank Corp.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of First Private will receive 0.27 shares of IBKC common stock for each share of First Private common stock outstanding. If the transaction closes at June 30, 2014, First Private would have an aggregate of approximately 3,747,000 shares. Any First Private stock options and warrants that remain outstanding immediately prior to closing, whether or not vested, will be cashed out at consummation of the merger.
First Private Bank has two commercial bank branch offices in Dallas and Plano and had 34 employees at the ned of 2013. At Dec. 31, 2013, the company had total assets of $357 million, total cash and investment securities of $98 million, total gross loans of $257 million (4.05 percent yield), and total deposits of $318 million.
For the year of 2013, the bank reported net income of $1.4 million. For the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013, First Private reported net income of $446,000 million, a 2.57 percent net interest margin, 0.69 percent cost of interest bearing deposits, and 0.73 percent cost of interest bearing liabilities.
IberiaBank Corp. has 267 combined offices, including 172 bank branch offices and four loan production offices in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas and Florida; 21 title insurance offices in Arkansas and Louisiana; and mortgage representatives in 61 locations in 12 states.
First Private received financial advice from Macquarie Capital and was advised by the law firm of Haynie Rake Repass & Lowry PC. IBKC was advised by the law firm of Jones Walker LLP.

Need help with crossover and doing this stitch
15 years ago my Mother taught me to knit. I asked her to maked me a sample piece with her favorite stitches. So she made it and dictated the instructions to me. The years passed and now that I finally find the time to concentrate on my knitting I'm trying to make her a sweater using one of her stitches which she called the bubble stitch (NOT to be confused with the BOBBLE stitch) The BUBBLE stitches are all done at the same time one is knitting not one at a time. They look like fancy ribbing. There are columns of bubble stitches on one the right side of the ribbing and on the wrong side of the ribbing is plain ribbing. I wish I could post a picture of it so you could see but I don't know how to do that here. So If anyone thinks that they can help would you please email me?? My email addy is email@example.com
Also, if anyone can help me understand how to do a crossover I'd be very grateful thank-you. I can no longer ask my Mom since she now suffers from Alzheimers and doesn't remember that she used to knit. Thank-you for any help that you may provide.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Always a friend,
Nancy aka sunshine98
I found the instructions and a small pic to go with them, at this site...says the bubble stitch is also called the popcorn st....
Crossover isn't a knitting term I'm familiar with, so what do you mean by 'crossover'? Have you done a google search, to see if you can find it?
I wonder if a cross over is this stitch I have done recently.
Knit into the 2nd stitch from the end of your knitting needle but do not pull it off the needle. Now knit into the 1st stich on your left hand needle and pull both stitches off the left hand needle. It makes a tiny cable.
It looks like a tiny cable stitch to me. Nancy, do you still have her sample and the instructions she dictated to you? Probably not since you are asking for help, but I was hoping!
Try Sheilajoyce's in a test swatch. Cast on about 30 sts and see if it looks right.
Check this link with a close up and see if it's what you are looking for.
