Any neuro-surgeons in the house? Just want to know how much will it cost for a surgery for resectioning of cavernous angioma of the brainstem. Even just a ballpark figure will be a big help. TIA!

My wife & I are both 39 y/o, married for 16 years with 3 kids. 10 years ago after the birth of our youngest child my wife underwent tubal ligation. Since then she was complaining that she cannot "finished" everytime we make love. At first i thought there must be something wrong with me. Maybe bcoz of work & family stress our sex life became routinary & infrequent. This went on for quite sometime and also led mo to some extra-marital affairs. Lately we had a serious talk about whats happening to our sex life. And lately also we came accross the topic of female orgasm and ejaculation. My wife tells me that she can achieve both before her ligation. She feels that she squirts inside. But now although she gets to have an orgasm, she cannot ejaculate. She feels there's something blocking the way. This made her lose interest to sex. We did try many things- from oral to fingers to both. Position is limited to missionary though bcoz she had a slipped disc 3 years ago. The past few weeks we have an unsually active sex life. But its all orgasm and no ejaculation for her. I really want her to enjoy sex.

My questions are: - is failure to ejaculate a result of the tubal ligation?

- is the problem psychological?

- do we need to seek medical help? (i go for this)

- what doctor can help us with this?

Thanks!

I agree with one poster here that its no big deal. Important thing is the girl must be honest. If she wants full acceptance, she has to lay down all her cards.

You have to live life with passion. Then everything else falls into place. You get motivated, you work hard, you improve your self-esteem and successful relationships. Doing all these stress-free because you are passionate in eveything you do. You give it all!

pee then check fone and make coffee

play with the kids, watch TV

No matter what they say, I still like the Philippines. US or other countries are good only for employment because they have the earning capacity. For a while i stayed stateside thinking that the quality of life is better. Soon i found out that i cannot really trade off RP kaya balik pinas. I have a good business, comfortable life with my family. US pang bakasyon na lng!

SE Walkman & Motorola V3xx. I was never a Nokia lover.

Been an HP & Compaq user ever since. Very satisfied user.

yup, i'm no. 1 in the list

If going to the office I have to use the bag since it looks more professional than a backpack. But when travelling on vacation, i put it in a sleeve and inside the backpack. In that way your hands are free.

Tom Brady will be playing with a foot injury...? Patriots all the way!

We're in the same bldg sa Makati but different offices. It was only sex that i was after but then i realized its more than sex pala. Now we're married for 14 yrs. and have 3 kids...and i have a 22 y/o GF on the side...

Its really easy to fall in love with an MPA. Pero bago love, i agree with one poster here na libog lang talaga yan. Imagine fulfilling your fantasies and hidden desires which can be considered taboo by your ordinary girl. Before you know it, youre just like any ordinary couple forgetting the fact that away from you, your girl is being porked by somebody else...

Apple unveils long-awaited iPhone

By Hiawatha Bray

The Boston Globe

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO -- Steve Jobs made it official yesterday: His company is no longer Apple Computer Inc. but simply Apple Inc.

 

Jobs made the pronouncement at the annual Macworld trade show, where the company already better known for iPod portable music players than its Macintosh computers unveiled two devices -- a digital entertainment server for the TV and a radical music player and telephone -- that could complete Apple's transition from computer company to America's leading consumer electronics manufacturer.

 

"You're looking at the birth of the next Sony," said James L. McQuivey, professor at Boston University's College of Communication. "That's what their ambition is."

 

In perhaps the clearest evidence of Apple's growing clout, the company said its new products are backed by alliances with some of the world's biggest communications and entertainment companies. When Apple began selling movies online last year, only the Walt Disney Co., where Jobs sits on the board, was willing to play along. Yesterday, Jobs said Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures would make over 100 of its titles available for iPod, iTunes, and Apple TV, and McQuivey predicted other studios would soon hop onto the bandwagon.

But the Apple TV was overshadowed by the Apple iPhone, a single-button touch-screen device which Jobs declared would "reinvent the phone."

 

"Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything," the company's chief executive said during his keynote address at the annual Macworld Conference and Expo. "It's very fortunate if you can work on just one of these in your career. . . . Apple's been very fortunate in that it's introduced a few of these."

 

The iPhone will be sold exclusively by AT&T Inc.'s wireless provider Cingular, which worked with Apple to design features such as a displays of voice mail messages that lets the user listen to them in any order.

 

The chief executive of Cingular, Stan Sigman, was on hand to gush over the new phone. "Every time I see this, it's just wow," Sigman said. "It's really, really cool."

 

Just as effusive were the chieftains of the most powerful companies on the Internet -- Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., both of which collaborated with Apple to provide services through the iPhone. Google chief executive and Apple board member Eric Schmidt appeared with Jobs to showcase a service that puts Google's popular online mapping service onto the Apple phone, allowing users to see satellite images of any spot on earth.

 

And Yahoo cofounder Jerry Yang joined Jobs to showcase a feature that delivers Yahoo Mail messages to users of the Apple iPhone free of charge.

 

The new products came as no surprise to Apple-watchers. Indeed, Jobs previewed the entertainment server last year under the name iTV. And rumors that Apple was working on a combination iPod player and cellphone have been circulating for a couple of years. Nevertheless, the official launch of the products boosted the company's stock price 8 percent yesterday, to $92.57.

The iPhone bears little resemblance to any other phone -- or to Apple's trademark iPod music players. It has just one pushbutton. Nearly everything else is controlled by touching icons that appear on the phone's large video screen. But there's no need for a plastic stylus used in many other portable touch-screen devices. Apple invented a new technology that accurately recognizes touches from human fingers. "It's far more accurate than any touch display that's ever been shipped," said Jobs. "And, boy, have we patented it." Jobs said Apple has filed 200 patents on technologies it invented for use in the iPhone, which will sell for $499 for a version with four gigabytes of memory, or $599 for eight gigabytes . Jobs said the iPhone will go on sale in June, pending testing and approval by the Federal Communications Commission. He said that Apple has set a goal of selling 10 million by 2008.

 

"All of the technical pieces add up to a device that works really well, that's a pleasure to use," said Charles Golvin, principal analyst for Forrester Research in Cambridge, who had a chance to try out the iPhone.

BEAUTIFUL! COOL!

Better to have each one from different networks to avail of the network promos. Sun is limited to major cities only (and Boracay!) but definitely you get your money's worth.

Motorola is really dependable while SE rocks as mp3 player. SE Sound quality is even better than iPods.

don't be too eager to acquire a credit card, i'm now paying almost 2,000.00 per month just on interest alone.

 

The average interest rate is 3.5 % each month on unpaid balances.

Now is the best time to get a credit cards. Aside from fierce competition among card issuers, interest rates will be going down.
