Colombia's capital Bogotá is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city located in central Colombia on a vast plain 2,600m above sea level, cradled by the Andean mountains. The "Old City" of La Candelaria is the historic cultural centre of the city. Its cobbled streets are lined with colonial buildings housing museums, libraries, restaurants, hotels and bars set amongst convents, churches and homes that date back 300 years. Bogotá's most famous museum is the Gold Museum with over 55,000 pieces of gold, bone, ceramic and textiles from the Pre-Hispanic cultures such as the Tayrona, San Agustin, Chocó, Quimbaya, Muisca and Tierradentro.
Today you will visit the historic centre of the city known as La Candelaria with its great architectural and cultural heritage made up of large Spanish colonial buildings. Visit the Plaza de Bolivar, the Cathedral and the Botero and Gold Museum.
In the evening leave in the company of a local chef to the Andrés Carne de Res. This is considered one of the most famous restaurants in all of Latin America and the most original restaurant in Colombia due to its eccentric decoration and great rumba environment.
Depart from your hotel in Bogotá and transfer to the Airport. (English-speaking Guide)

Driving to Salento, the emblematic town of our coffee region and exploring the cloud forests is a must for many visitors. This is a very active little town that has seen history develop from the days of the conquest. On foot or by vehicle you will witness the magnificent wax palms that were described by Humboldt as "the forest inside the forest". Some of the options during your visit include trekking for up to 4 hours into the heart of pristine forests in private and public natural reserves. Return to the hotel for dinner.
The coffee region is proud about its greatest legacy to Colombia. This is what so many have come to see: the red beans that turn their seeds into magical moments to share. As you meet some of the most passionate Colombians sharing their experience and knowledge, you understand so many new things about a drink that has been always with us, but from this day after, it will gain a whole new meaning. You will visit one of the most attractive coffee states to witness the daily life at this traditional hacienda. Coffee cupping with an expert will bring your senses to a higher level. This excursion has been specially designed for those who want to dive deep into the cup, while enjoying one of the best views over the Quindio Valley. Enjoy a gourmet picnic during the excursion. Return to the hotel for dinner.
Departure from your hotel in Pereira and transfer to the Airport (only driver)

Today we invite you to venture through the UNESCO World Heritage listed city. Start with a panoramic view of the city from the Monasterio and Iglesia de La Popa, formerly known as the "Popa del Galeon" and famous for resembling the stern of a galleon. Constructed in 1606 this church and monastery are located at a height of 140m above sea level from where one can enjoy 360º views of the city and the sea as well as the port zone, one of the most important in the Caribbean. Continuing to the San Felipe fortress, erected in honour of the poet from Cartagena, Don Luis Carlos López, made famous for his sonnet "A mi ciudad nativa" It was built on San Lázaro hill to defend the city from pirate attacks. Walk around the fortress and learn how the castle was constructed with its engineering feats, tunnels, underground galleries and passageways. Lastly head to the handicrafts zone of the Bovedas, a collection of archways built into the city wall of Cartagena and that were used until the end of the 1700's to house armaments and then later as a prison in the XIX century. Nowadays it's an artisan centre for local handcrafts. Return to the hotel.
In the evening, take a magical tour by night of the walled city, stepping back in time and enjoying the sights from an open horse drawn carriage. The sound of the horse's hooves on the colonial streets, the refreshing breeze, the night colours of Cartagena, the architecture and the beautiful and atmospheric scenery, make the visitor feel as if he or she is part of a film.
This morning you will be accompanied to the Bazurto Market Place, the local food market of Cartagena. This is the city's largest market and where one can find all the fresh products available in the Caribbean region. Try some of the exotic fruits and follow this expert, known to the vendors, through this area as they welcome him to their barrio. For this reason this visit feels very much like a true local experience. After the market, return to the city centre where the chef of the ''Reducto'' restaurant will prepare some of the most well known and typical Cartagena recipes with you. Some examples are "Limonada de Coco" – Coconut lemonade, and Posta Negra (a coconut sweetened beef). After the cooking lesson you will enjoy your own meal.
Transfer to San Basillio de Palenque. The village was declared Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The local inhabitants retain African influences in their daily routines.

San Francisco in San Francisco City and County, California — The American West (Pacific Coastal)
First Chinese Baptist Church
This church was organized on October 3, 1880. The congregation first met in rented quarters on Washington Street across from Portsmouth Square, and moved to the present location in 1888. The first church building on this site was destroyed in the Earthquake of 1906. The present structure was built in 1908. Through the years, the Church has served the community by providing language classes; conducting various programs for children, youth, and adults; and bringing the good news that Jesus Christ can bring wholeness and healing to human life.
This plaque was installed by the Congregation in 1980, the centennial year, to record our gratitude to God for his many blessings, and to express our confident expectation that He will lead and use us in the "New Century in Christ"

Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause – the cause of liberation. And this commitment, because it is loving, is dialogical. As an act of bravery, love cannot be sentimental; as an act of freedom, it must not serve as a pretext for manipulation. It must generate other acts of freedom; otherwise, it is not love.
-Paulo Freire
In his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, educator and theorist Paolo Freire introduced the concept of critical consciousness. In simple terms, critical consciousness is the ability to be aware of historical context, to perceive oppression, and take action against it.
Andy and I are doing our best to raise a critically conscious child (in a few months, it will be children!). We are still at the beginning of this parenting journey, and we have a lot to learn. But, these are a few ideas that guide the decisions we make for our family:
Never stop learning
Critical consciousness, social awareness, or being woke is not a mental state where one arrives. It is a perpetual journey of deepening knowledge, challenging perspectives and increasing understanding. The work of learning is never finished. To raise critically conscious children, we must constantly challenge our own ways of thinking and perceiving the world. We must continue learning, reading, dialoging, listening, experiencing and examining with critical and open eyes. We must learn alongside our children.
Engage in dialogue
I don't think it is ever too early to build an internal consciousness or a critical lens. Even if our children don't have a complete understanding of specific issues for many years, they can learn to examine the world. We cannot filter out the world, even if we sometimes want to. So, we need to be able to talk about it. We need to spend less time sheltering children from the world and more time confronting it together in a critical and conscious manner. We need to trust, listen to and learn from our children; we can co-create meaning together.
Carter is only two, but hey, let's talk about those Disney princesses, Halloween costumes, and biased media imagery and language. Let's talk about history. Let's talk about why some people are portrayed this way while others are portrayed that way. Let's ask our kids what they think. We must talk about why things are the way they are, and how we can make a change.
Use language intentionally
The language we use matters. This is not some politically correct, liberal made up constraint on how to talk. Words have power. Saying a girl is bossy, or telling her she's a leader makes a world of difference. Calling a boy a sissy or saying he's compassionate leads to different sets of internalized identities. We think of rioters and protesters in very different ways. The term "alt-right" euphemizes the reality of white supremacy. Our language shapes how we see ourselves and understand others. It influences our perception, our emotions, our choices. We must be thoughtful and intentional about what we say and how we talk to our children. And we must teach our children to be intentional too.
Make conscious choices about books and media
Books and media have a powerful influence on the ways in which our children perceive the world and themselves. They can empower us, or perpetuate internalized oppression from a young age. I have written about the power and need for diverse children's books here and here. Selecting resources that are representative of all perspectives and experiences is paramount to our children's developing awareness. Do they see children with all races, backgrounds, religious, handicaps, family structures, socio-economic statuses in their books? What kind of gender expectations or messages do their songs and movies convey? We must be intentional and thoughtful about these influences in our children's lives.
Nurture Empathy
We must help our children be self-aware. The more they are aware of their own emotions, motivations, and impact on others, the more they can engage consciously with the world. They need to know all their emotions are okay – it's as okay to be mad, sad, frustrated, disappointed and scared as it is to be happy and excited. The emotions are okay, the hitting and kicking are not! We can help them to recognize their feelings and express them in constructive ways.
From this foundation, we can nurture empathy. We can talk about how characters feel in stories, how we feel in different situations. We can talk about how their actions affect us and how our actions affect them (post about restorative justice and parenting coming eventually!). We can guide our children to put themselves in others' shoes and experience the world differently. Only then will they understand our common humanity and value.
Break the Bubble:
In our intensely segregated communities, it can be a big challenge to live outside bubbles. But, we must make the extra effort. Our kids need to have friends of all races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. Not superficial, drop-in experiences but genuine, meaningful relationships that challenge our assumptions about the world. It is impossible to be critically conscious without these relationships.
And hint, if we don't have those kinds of relationships, they won't either.
Step outside comfort zones:
We grow when we push ourselves outside our comfort zones. Creating an environment in which discomfort and failure are celebrated as opportunities for learning can empower children to try new things. New experiences and new people expand our perspectives and help us overcome fear. They break the barriers that divide people. As we encourage our children to take risks, we are teaching them to live beyond bubbles as they journey through the world.
Be an example:
We must walk the walk. It's been said a million times before, but our children learn from watching what we do, not just from listening to what we say. We must treat all people with dignity and love. Read and always keep learning. Dialogue with everyone. Go to protests. Donate money. Have difficult conversations. Stand in solidarity. Bring our kids with us. They will walk where we walk.

Episode 9.09
I think this was a lame episode. The handling of the whole Adam/Tani story was embarrassing. Does Steve know? Does he not know? What the heck? If I hadn't already I would have to write something about this stupidity. And am I the only one flinching every time I see Adam wearing a weapon and a badge? This is so ridiculous.
But I love Jerry, always have. He has become a valuable member of 5-0.
And Linty Williams' superpower is indeed dannoying people to death. But he is also The Invisible. Not that I'm complaining. So no, Mini D, your Dad is no superhero at all.
I wish we had the real deal at the chopper at the end and not the comic version of Steve. Because that is exactly something he would have done. Boom! Poof! Bang! Smack!
Let's have a look at Hawaii's human, vulnerable, trained, unselfish, altruistic BatMan.
SEAL sign's up in the sky!
I am so looking forward to next weeks episode! It looks awesome! SEAL Steve before the holidays. BOOYAH!

This past Sunday, it was my privilege to speak at Calvary Chapel Rio Rancho near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since it was Sanctity of Life Sunday, I gave my presentation entitled "Eugenics and Planned Parenthood: Past, Present, and Future" for both morning services. It was exciting to see how involved the church is in the pro-life movement. Sadly, many churches have become passive about this issue.
One lady shared with me her attempt to get another church involved in a pro-life rally and the leader of this church responded that the Lord had not laid the pro-life issue on their heart. She was shocked and appalled, and so was I! There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of thinking. God commands us not to murder (Exodus 20:13), and in Proverbs 31:8–9 we read,
Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.If it's in God's Word then it had better be on our heart!
A gentleman, David Zahn, who heard me speak that morning went home that afternoon and wrote a poem about the atrocities of eugenics and abortion. I thought it was so creative and truthful that I asked if I could share it on my blog. Come back on Thursday and read more about my trip (pictures included!)
EugenicsKeep fighting the good fight of the faith!
A single mother of four Will live in poverty. Let us even the score, Before she has more And help society. The solution, oh, is it simple, As simple as could be. It helps the poor mom, and you and me, If we shuttle off those worthless kids Into Eternity Recidivism is horrible, and it's worse than it was before. Jails and prisons around the world have a revolving door. Father like son, and mother like daughter, Those criminal types are raising each other. Prisons are expensive, it hurts the economy, Tell the truth, It will help our youth, If we let these prisoners be bound Six feet below ground In our new society! The deformed, the fools, and weak Hurt the families, it's a sin. How much kinder it is to speak Of doing such problems in Of course, standards must be met, Let's get everyone set. They must meet the standard or off they go To their eternal home, six feet below. Setting such a standard strains our individuality So, never fear, decisions are done nationally. Everyone that's a problem, every dissident, Will be sent off silently by our government. Then mankind will enjoy the fruits of evolution, To every social problem, murder's the solution We'll run the country, and then the world With our kind democracy Oh, what joy we'll have when man has placed himself Where God was meant to be.

Star Pest Control offers wasp nest removal services to customers throughout Surrey and the Lower Mainland. All of our Surrey pest control services for residential and commercial properties are performed by our team of highly trained and experienced pest control professionals, providing you with the comfort of knowing the job will be done correctly the first time around.
How to Get Rid of a Wasp's Nest?
It is important to be cautious when dealing with wasps, as they have a potent sting and are known to attack in large numbers if disturbed. Wasp nests that are located in areas that put people at risk should be destroyed as soon as possible, preferably earlier in the year before the wasps become aggressive. Some of the common sites for wasps' nests include under the roof eaves, in attics, or in sheds and out-buildings. While homeowners try to remove wasp nests on their own, wasps are incredibly aggressive when it comes to protecting their nest and should only be handled by a Surrey pest control professional.
Wasp Nest Removal
While physical wasp nest removal is not always a viable option, a Surrey pest control professional will know exactly how to treat and exterminate wasp nests in any type of situation. Once the extermination process is complete, our team will remove and destroy the remaining wasp nest.
Wasp Nest Prevention in Surrey
Making a few simple changes to your behaviour and how you handle food and drinks outdoors can go a long way in preventing wasps from nesting in your yard. Ensuring outside bins, such as garbage cans, have tightly fitting lids can also help keep wasps away from your Surrey home by eliminating an easy food source.
Wasp Nest Removal from Star Pest Control
If you are living in the Surrey area and have a wasp nest in your home or yard, get in touch with the Surrey pest control professionals from Star Pest Control today. No matter how large the wasp nest has become, there is no job too big or too small for our team.

Things continue to be one sided when it comes to intercourse here.
Last night we had an incredible session of stroking and cuddling. And it didn't lead to anything. I could tell it was better not to "go" anywhere from there.
When we woke up, she was not in a good mood. But I really wanted sex. So we cuddled for a few minutes and I asked if I could come in and she said yes. The sensations were amazing but it was pretty one sided. I guess the price I pay for this when she's really not in the mood. But I think it's very helpful and important even when she's not. Still, I wonder.
Maybe it's just me. I feel so much more centered and floaty and better when we have intercourse. She doesn't feel this way I guess.
I'm going to continue on this path. But sometimes it is so frustrating. I realize I'm at it again, whining and I am so much happier this way than before. But it is a very slow process. She is still breast defensive and not really aroused when we have intercourse and sometimes it really bothers me, especially afterwards.
I don't say she's having a bad time. No, not at all. But it's something that sometimes I sense she would rather not do but does to please me. She doesn't mind it but it isn't really what she wants.
That isn't a good feeling for me. But I think gradually things will rewire and rebalance. Her sexuality will wake up. It is waking up. Slowly. I suppose.

Often these
lulls lead to breakthroughs.
I hope so
It doesn't really matter, I suppose, how long it takes, or whether it happens, or whatever "it" is. I am deeply in love and would never want things to be like they were before.
If she's happy with things as they are for her, that's enough for me. I think I will be better off forgetting about some imaginary future and just being present here and now with what is. It's pretty sweet. But that's difficult for me sometimes. I suppose it is my life's work right now.
I wonder if clitoral stimulation wouldn't be helpful
When I see Sparkles I see someone without a lot of dopamine stuff. She doesn't have addictions. She doesn't lean towards overdoing things. She doesn't have wild enthusiasms for things. She is a steady-as-you-go person. Which is probably why we love each other so much -- she and I are opposite that way.
I wonder if waking her up sexually is a matter of clitoral stimulation? Maybe to kind of jumpstart her arousal and get the dopamine flowing so to speak.
That goes against what I've read in Richardson's books, but hey, this is our journey and we have to take it our way. In a way, she's perfect as a receptive woman, and doesn't let desire and arousal get in her way.
But just for kicks, isn't there a position that provides more clitoral stimulation? Maybe this is a good way to get her more excited. It kind of goes against what we've been doing, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Can't hurt to try it.
Or we just continue as is.
It would be so good if the two of you could just relax, have fun, enjoy each other, and be comfortable. Be in the moment. Do what feels good right then. Don't do anything with intent or purpose or ulterior motive. Just play. Smile and be happy! It's all good. All bliss! Give her love without expecting anything in return. Just give because you love to give. What else can you do?
it would be cool
if that happens. I hope it does. But sometimes a search for a solution or for something else leads to breakthroughs. I found this whole way of life through such a search.
Why isn't it possible to improve things through continually searching and finding?
I feel there is a disconnect here between us in the pleasure we are each receiving. I want her to begin experiencing the pleasure that I get. If that is possible.
You are trying too hard
Read, learn, listen, enjoy, and stop trying to force something upon your wife. Enjoy your body and how it feels when you are with her. She will open up when she's ready. But I think you need to get out of your head. Stop trying to think of ways to increase her "pleasure"~~if you give her some space, maybe she'll tell you what she likes.

This video on the clitoris is awesome. I reccomend focusing more on the internal clitoris, not the tip, through lovemaking.
Grinding the corn
Here's one possibility:
I hasten to add, although the technique is about increasing the likelihood of female orgasm during intercourse through increased clitoral stimulation, there's no need to take it that far. 'Grinding the corn' is a slow process, we find; so neither of you is likely to 'flip' over the edge, unless you want to.
You shouldn't need the video. It's a pretty simple procedure.
I wasn't sure what you meant.
I wasn't sure what you meant. Here are two links.
thanks Sood
this is very helpful. We'll try it.
Darryl had posted on a thread elsewhere here and it got me to thinking. Maybe this type of sex isn't stimulating enough for my partner. Maybe she needs clitoral stimulation. It's worth trying if she wants to and I think she will. Why not?
You are trying too hard, Emerson. If she "needs" clitorial stimulation, she'll tell you. (the best thing that ever happened to me sexually, however, was abandoning the clitoris!)
Have you asked her if she likes karezza? Or if she wants to go back to conventional sex? (the grinding thing is just conventional sex with the intent to produce an orgasm in the woman~~which takes one completely out of the present moment and into a moment in the future)
Rachel I agree with you, all
Rachel I agree with you, all the focus on the external clitoris is unneeded. But I don't think any of us women really can abandon the clitoris, given how big it really is and how it embraces the vagina structurally. I think that much pleasure from penetration is in fact stimulating the inner branches of the clitoris, tho there are a lot of other sensitive spots too, as you well know! But the FOCUS on the clitoris, its such a relief when this is gone, I agree.
amazing video
thank you Hotspring!
It seems a bit odd that some
It seems a bit odd that some (/most?) women don't about their inner hardware given that most tissue structures exist in some form in men and women. If more knew, perhaps there would be less penis envy. Or maybe women know and are in some form of denial.
Yes, Hotspring
I guess I should have said, "abandoning trying to make a woman have an orgasm through oral/manual stimulation"~~I'm so relieved my lover and I no longer focus on that anymore. For one thing, it can cause the vagina to restrict, rather than relax. Also, a man is so far away when he is down there, lol. I like that when my lover is loving my breasts, I can still kiss his head and have my arms wrapped around him. I love that feeling of closeness.
As far as interior pleasures, for me, now that I have learned to relax and open up and welcome my lover's penis completely, the area near the cervix ("garden of love") is the place that sends me into complete and utter ecstasy. It seems to have the same effect on my beloved, as well. It's something a woman can only do with someone she trusts completely, which is why it is so special, I think. Most men in conventional intercourse are blocked from that area (too much risk of hurting with all the pounding that goes on during regular sex). Makes me sad for all the women (and men) who have never experienced a deep, still, throbbing penis!
May I make a suggestion? Consider taking one whole month and let her be the one to initiate intercourse. If she doesnt go there, you dont go there. This means no hinting, no body language, no indication of any kind, leave it totally in her hands. Think you can do this? Cuddling..yes, bonding behaviors..yes, requesting/suggesting intercourse..no. Clitoral stimulation..bad idea, this isnt going to jump start anything you want.
this is quite upsetting to me
and therefore there is something to it :)
What upsets me is, to have sex with Sparkles when she doesn't really want to. And to be inflicting and pushing myself in other ways on her.
@Darryl, A break in my initiating intercourse seems to be a really good idea. Yeah I can do that. Why not? No hinting, no pressure, no looks...just totally cool with cuddling and whatnot but not initiating at all in any way, shape or form. Sure.
What concerns me is what if she doesn't initiate? I guess that's something I can find out. There will be a lot I'll learn in that time.
@Rachel, sigh, yes, I know you are right. It is that mind of mine going off in these directions. She does like Karezza but she'll say "I don't always want to have sex, I really like to cuddle but sometimes I'm not in the mood". She does like this much better. I have asked her and she said she does and I really believe she does.
Thanks for your comments, they are super helpful. Thank you also, Sood and Freedom and Marnia. All very helpful, you have no idea!
I figured you'd be concerned
I figured you'd be concerned if she would intiate if you didnt. I think its well worth taking a month to find out what she does. Keep us informed, I want to hear how it goes.
Slow process
You mentioned it being "a very slow process" but is that really the case? It seems to me your progress has been warp speed. Three months ago, if I remember rightly, you were masturbating to erotica pretty much daily. You quit orgasm in the blink of an eye and haven't stumbled once. Maybe your wife is used to you changing overnight but still, it must have been a shock.
It's taken me more than four years of off and on Karezza to finally get to the point where I nowadays prefer non orgasmic to orgasmic sex; but my wife still thinks I've got a screw loose and so do I, sometimes.
I've come to realise we're all on different journeys, going at different speeds. Your speed seems amazingly fast, to me; and as you've often said your wife is very different to you, maybe her speed is, too. Perhaps she just needs some time to catch up.
that is perspective I never thought about
I do take to things quickly when I take to them.
It's true that I decided to stop masturbation and porn and did completely and without a single slipup of any kind. And I haven't had an orgasm since even though we've had wonderful intercourse many many times since then.
And it's true that I'm sure my brain is still re-wiring.
I'm also sure my wife's brain is re-wiring. Has to be.
My wife was in shock. Even a week or so ago she asked again, "are you really not going to come?"
I quit drinking this way too, maybe ten years ago. Just decided not to drink and that was that. And years before that I quit marijuana. That's my personality, quite intent on something when I get my mind to it.
I can totally relate to your
I can totally relate to your energy Emerson. I'm similar when I get my mind set on something, but it sure get's people's back up when I'm expecting them to keep up with my speed or join me in what I think is the way to go. I often go back to this insight I read somewhere: "If we are invested in the outcome, the other person will always sense this and usually will respond defensively and with resistance."
But then I've also managed to achieve a lot of things that required both high expectations and persistence in countering resistance with new solutions. But it seems when it comes to relationships (as you've advised me in different words), that it's better to move ourselves forward and then step back and see if the other person wants to come with us. That reminds me of my daughter. When she's on the playground, I'll tell her it's time to go and inevitably, she refuses and fights me on it. The harder I push her, the more she resists. So then I just start to walk away, slowly and casually, trying not to peak back, and inevitably, she runs and catches up willingly, often joyfully, without a power struggle.
From reading your posts though, I always feel so envious of your position. You're with someone who seems committed to you no matter what. You have so much power. You can relax (as hard as that is) and do nothing, and she'll still love you. She'll probably even do what you want. If I were in her position, having intercourse everyday (?) and suddenly my partner stopped asking for that, I'd start taking action. That commitment you've got so beats the anxiety of single life in a porned-up world, where people move from one relationship to the next so quickly that when I meet someone, I feel compelled to hook them quick, let them experience great sex, show them I can be a really good lover, before they get bored or scared and move on...[I say that in full recognition of what's wrong with that thinking and am not acting in that way anymore, but the angst is still there]. I guess what I'm saying, is just step back and appreciate, as fully and deeply as you can, the commitment to loving you that she gives you.
I love your response here Zia
I learn so much from you. Thank you. I am very lucky indeed. We do have a wonderful commitment and she doesn't expect too much or too little.
Time to give her a bit of her space and stop focusing on my needs for awhile.
Just some thoughts
A few things that popped in my head when reading this thread and a few others of yours.
Stopping booze and dope is something you did on your own admirably, but sex is a dance with two people. You can fast forward your own changes, but you can't drag someone with you who has different needs and wants. If you were to train for a marathon with your mrs, you wouldn't expect her to go at your pace at least initially.
I'm learning that I need all the cuddling bonding stuff to take the pressure off etc, but that's me discovering my needs. My wife has different needs and 'conditions' for great sex. For her its being relaxed, had a good night sleep, having less stress at work etc and fundamentally feeling no pressure to have sex.
I know my wife's biggest turn off is when something is expected, in some ways you could be putting similar pressure on her to the pressure you put on yourself.
Have you asked her what her needs are? Not from a "how can I get more sex out of you" perspective (A mistake I made in the past), but to ask her what she really wants/ needs.
The majority of women won't orgasms without clitoral stimulation. There are plenty of positions that allow you to do this with your hands while you have sex. It works for me and allows you to control when you both orgasm if you wish.
great point
Thanks Mountaincap. Everyone's progress is at different speeds. I have to be better about realizing that.
I'm not alone
I have similar issues with my GF of 5 years. Sex has never been high on her list of priorities, she'll do it but it's more out of obligation vs. actual strong sexual desire. I'm noticing some improvements since my practice, hopefully this will only continue.
are you non-orgasmic? How long have you been at it? What is your practice like?
:) Because I believe men can have orgasms without releasing.
Well my Practice is VERY one sided. I have realized a few things about myself and her during this process. About me is I didn't ask her enough questions about her sexuality, I allowed certain things to take place or become acceptable in our sexual relations, I have been selfish and harsh. About her I'm realizing because I'm her 1st long term relationship (we're both in 30's) I need to take the lead in sexual areas due to her lack of passion due to multiple reasons (emotionally jacked up).
So even though we have been a couple for almost 5 years I feel like we are starting from scratch sexually. And I am leading this rediscovery.
I started to create bonding events about a month or two ago. We hug and kiss morning & evening, she has been surprisingly receptive to this. As for intercourse, it's all me. I see this as a long journey and I'm unsure if I will be successful.

In what was one of their first shows together in four years The Libertines made a triumphant live return at London's Hyde Park last night for British Summer Time 2014. Despite crowd surges and general safety issues disrupting the pace of the set, all four of the band seemed to enjoy the size and scale of the occasion.
Here's our ten top highlights from their comeback show.
Intro For Heroes
The Libertines might have enjoyed their 'salad days' less than ten years ago but those nostalgic for the band of old were treated to 20 minutes of montage footage and scenes from the their past before they started their set. Soundtrack provided by Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again.
The Announcement
The band exclusively revealed news of two more live shows, both at London's Alexandra Palace, which will go on general sale on Monday at 9am, although the pre-sale of tickets has already begun.
Red Sky At Night
The weather came good for the boys in the band as 65,000 punters gathered in Hyde Park under a rich, red sunset with none of the weather that was originally forecast to rain on their comeback parade.
Pete Doherty
Enemy No.1 for Park Lane residents, 35-year-old Doherty was notable in his presence – given the odds previously given for him not making this show. Thank god he did as the greying frontman gave Kanye West a run for his money with rants about Queens Park Rangers, Johnny Marr, his caravan and xenophobic security.
Ode to Siegfield Sasson
Brotherly love shone through as Carl and Pete went nose-to-nose and delivered a poem from English poet and soldier Siegfield Sasson to close the show.
It's all so Rudimentary
Despite the delays for crowd safety reasons, it was an early-in-the-set performance of Boys In The Band that really ignited the headline set. A fan favourite from their 2002 debut Up The Bracket, it sounded better than ever in front of 65,000 expectant fans.
Don't Look Back Into The Sun
Arguably the definitive Libertines anthem, Don't Look Back Into The Sun managed to lift the atmosphere in and around Hyde Park to 11.
The Whisky Bar
When, quite unbelievably, beer sold out on site by mid-afternoon, the whisky bar became the drinking hole of choice. Reports that Shane MacGowan was seen propping up the bar are, as yet, unconfirmed.
Hokey Cokey
Saying farewell to Hyde Park by starting a sing-along to school playground classic Hokey Cokey was a classic Libertines move. We've missed this, you guys.
The Rarities
Among the extensive, hit-laden setlist were a few rarities from the vault, like Love On The Dole, which kept everyone on their toes.
British Summer Time 2014 continues today (Sunday, July 6) with scheduled performances from The Vamps, Wheatus, Diversity, Backstreet Boys and headliners McBusted. For more information visit the official website.

On Tuesday 25th April, we were invited to attend our town's Annual Parish Meeting. We applied for the local community fund, to enable Little Daffodils through Towards Tomorrow Together to provide a service locally for people who have experienced the loss of a baby during and after pregnancy.
We were very thrilled with the offer of this fund and the amount in which we have received. It will go towards much needed awareness raising for the charity, the group and of course to break the taboo barrier that is baby loss.
There were other community groups there too to receive funds, for their groups, it was nice to hear of other organisations which may not always get the awareness.
After the Mayor handed out outstanding awards, it as the turn of the community fund awards, I was first up. I am an incredibly nervous public speaker, and in all honesty was hoping I wouldn't have had to speak…but I wasn't that lucky. Mayor Dave Bulmer asked if I could do a short talk about what we do. This time, for the first time in all the times I have recently publicly spoken, I had no piece of paper to read instead I had to stumble my way through making a good impression. I think I may have pulled it off. I love talking about the charity and of course Little Daffodils and how it was born, I am incredibly passionate about trying to make a change in this community. People even came up to us and said what a wonderful thing to have put together; I was able to give our details to Chard First Responders too.
I thanked the Mayor and the people in the room for the opportunity for Little Daffodils to shine, told all those who listened that we support families who have lost their beloved baby through pregnancy and in infancy.
I must add that all through the existence of Little Daffodils (which began life as Melody's Voices), the Mayor has been incredibly supportive when he can, attending our launch of our first group, donating the use of the guildhall for an event; Thank you.
I really hope the next Mayor whoever that may be will give us the same support, it has been slow, maybe even hard at times to get the backing needed for this local group, but it has been incredibly worthwhile. Even if we only help 1-2 people a year, it is 1-2 people who will feel less alone.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in letting us have the community fund, because without these funds the community would end up lacking far more resources than they already do.
If you're not already aware Little Daffodils meet on the first Tuesday of the month, from 730pm, upstairs of Eleos Café in the centre of Chard. Our Facebook Group is here.
Thank you for reading; I will keep you updated with our up and coming projects.
Now, to learn Public Speaking Confidence…

As we all know Smartphones are out there in different sizes, different specs and different prices as well so Meizu MX5 is apparently designed to be rival to other smartphones in Market. The 5.5 inch Dual nano sim and 4G LTE device runs on latest Android 5.1 Lollipop along with 64bit octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM for fast and smooth operation.
Design, Display & Dimension
Meizu MX5 features a stunning metal design with large full 5.5 inch, (401ppi, 1080p) HD AMOLED display which has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and covered with Gorilla Glass 3 and an oversized home button below it. This contains Meizu's mTouch 2.0 fingerprint sensor produced by Swedish firm FPC for unlocking the device and for use with payment systems such as China's Alipay. The device features a dimension of 149.9 x 74.7 x 7.6 mm which reveals it's just 7.6 mm slimmer and 149 grams in weight, which boost of a very easy to handle and navigate through feature.
Meizu has chosen the MediaTek Helio X10 octa-core processor to power the MX5. The 64-bit chip, also known as the MT6795T, runs at 2.2GHz and is accompanied by 3GB of RAM. The dual-SIM phone has 4G LTE support for China, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi, and a variety of sensors including a gyroscope, and a digital compass. Although, Meizu MX5 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop but it has Meizu's latest 64-bit Flyme 4.5 user interface over the top, which it claims is 20-percent faster than previous versions. The hardware information of this device proofs there would be a fast, durable, efficient and impressive performance for Meizu MX5 users.

Meizu MX5 will be produced in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities, and in four different color combinations but unforunately there would be no external SDcard slot for more storage space. The six-lens Sony Rear Camera has 20.7 MP and an f/2.2 aperture, and a laser autofocus sensor is hiding just below the color flash unit. The selfie camera i.e. front facing camera can be use to captures 5MP photos with an f/2.0 aperture, and the usual beautification toys.

SUSTAINABILITY means many things to many people. Thus, the challenge is to find a set of guidelines aimed at achieving sustainability that will be relevant to everyone. One set of six guidelines for the integrated management for agricultural production and nature conservation in Australia was developed from the expert knowledge and opinions of farmers and scientists. In effect, the guidelines are practical suggestions which can be translated easily into what farmers and land managers actually do:

Is your pet spayed or neutered? They should be! It's one of the best things you'll ever do for your animal companion's health and wellness. Learn why here from a Marietta, GA vet:
Medical Benefits
Pets who have been spayed or neutered run virtually no risk of developing genital cancers. The chance of prostate, breast, or other cancer types developing is also drastically reduced. Even UTIs and other common ailments aren't as likely to occur. What's not to love?
Behavioral Benefits
Pets behave far, far better when they've been spayed or neutered. You'll save yourself the hassles of house soiling, urine spraying, escape attempts, digging, chewing, scratching, loud vocalizations, aggression toward owners or other pets, and much more. At the very least, these problems won't be as severe.
The Greater Good
Of course, spaying and neutering has a broader benefit: it reduces the population of homeless pets, which is already staggering. Don't contribute to the millions of pets who go homeless or must be euthanized every year—have your pet spayed or neutered early on in their life.
Does your pet need spayed or neutered? Have questions about the surgery itself? Call your vet clinic Marietta, GA today for help.

Almost exactly three years ago, we moved into our new home. The day before the move, our house was clean, empty and ... white. A perfect setting for a nice Christmas shoot. Time to do a productions together with Patricia Hessing, an architect and a designer at Soap Ateliers. To give an answer to the question: how to celebrate the perfect christmas production even though you're surrounded by boxes, paint and other moving stuff. The beautiful images were taken by James Stokes. We called it Take Away Christmas, but now it's shown in VT Wonen, called Out of The Box. And now, because we're moving to Argentina in two weeks, we're surrounded by boxes again! How convenient. (I hope I have time to show some more of this production, I still really love it).

christmas mini-market in my street next Saturday
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift or a last-minute Sinterklaas-gift?
Coming Saturday, december 4th, I'm organising a Christmas mini-market with and at Mondo Mediterraneo, next to my house. Mondo will be selling their lovely food and culinairy gifts, I will be selling some of my beautiful styling accessories, fabrics and materials, but also some baby clothes (girls, size 50 - 80). As we speak (or rather: read) I'm working on some home made Christmas decorations with Maaike Koorman, who is also a designer. I'm also selling some beautiful hand made stuff made by my sister Pauline Rammeloo. And probably some other friends will join in as well, amongst whom Jeske Weel. So, if you happen to be in Amsterdam (or if you live here) next Saturday, drop by! The address is: Czaar Peterstraat 174, we'll start at 11:00 and it will (probably) end at 18:00.

I love books
I received a beautifully wrapped parcel in the mail. I saved it for a while, because I loved the wrapping so much that I wanted to have a picture of that as well. Today I had time to do some picture taking and unwrapping, assisted by my two lovely ladies. I loved the parcel, but I love what's in it even more! Three beautiful, leather covered diaries, in soft pastels. They are hand made by Marjolein Delhaas. The leather covered diaries are a limited edition, a perfect Christmas gift (I hope that the two persons I'm giving it to are not reading this) (I'm keeping one for myself). You can find more beautiful books, dairies and journals on Marjolein's webshop I love Book. Me too! Jeske Weel gave this tip to me through Facebook, thanks Jeske!
I'm still so very happy with my camera, the Olympus Pen E-P2, because it allows me to capture magical moments like these, first snow, in such a beautiful way.

redecoration of a showroom, part four
To give the sunglasses a better display and give the stylist an opportunity to try them on, I designed these mirrored shelves, and Douglas van Vugt made them. They sort of wrap themselves around the pillars in the showroom. Normally those pillars just take up a lot of room, not anymore! One of the shelved walls I covered with sackcloth and painted white, like the front desk in the entrance. In the area where all the clothes are processed, curtains were made of raw linen. They give a calm, pure look in an area that is normally quite cluttered. And they match the white, beige and black palette perfectly.
redecoration of a showroom, part three
..so the wall can function as a clean and neutral background for brochures, booklets and small items. The walls in the entrance were painted white. The front desk was also painted white, and I stapled sackcloth over the light boxes and painted that white as well. Now the entrance is clean and welcoming and it gives a preview of what you will find when you turn the corner.
redecoration of a showroom, part two
With Richard from Tools, I made this wall, using only old timber (except from frame).
And then the painters painted everything white...
redecoration of a showroom, part one
A few years ago I worked on an intensive redecoration of the showroom of the PR-company Unlimited PR in Amsterdam. Because it celebrated it's 10th anniversary this year, I did some finishing touches to enhance the festive feeling. The showroom is huge, on the ground floor of a big loft style building. I'm really happy with the result, the owner made the wise decision to have all the floors repainted by DRT vloeren. The big building jobs were done by the men of my favourite contractor Tools and carpenter Douglas van der Vugt built the beautiful mirrored shelves. I'll lead you through the story in a few posts.
the images above show the showroom before the latest renovation and the design that I made for the wall in the entrance.
food for joy
My friend Maaike Koorman told me about this (fairly) new lovely place in the centre of Amsterdam, Two for Joy. They roast their coffee beans themselves, so you'll find the best coffee in town. But their sandwich with chicken and tarragon, on real, crunchy French bread is to die for. I want it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

some inspiration for the house
While I'm at it, here's some of the images that I'm using as inspiration, which I found on Danielle de Lange's blog Style Files. The combination of dark wood, cement, concrete and natural colours was exactly what I had in mind for the house. The look boards that I put together a few months ago show the same athmosphere.
quick update
What with all the preparations and the finishing touches of some interiors, and the start up of a big renovation of a house, I hardly have time to post new things. And there's so much to tell! I will try to snap some images of the PR office I redecorated recently. But I have to show you this fantastic stove that I saw on Designboom, a very inspiring website about architecture, design and art. The stove is designed by Wuehl Yanes and was first shown during the interior biennale in Kortrijk. The stove would fit perfectly in the house that will be renovated the few coming months.

off to Buenos Aires (in a few months)
Normally I'm not a big fan of the days after New Years' day, but now I can't wait. Last week we booked our tickets, it's definite: we're going to live in Buenos Aires for a few months. I'll be posting blogs from there, I look forward to the inspiration I'll be getting there! That means our beautiful loft will be for rent. Anybody interested? Send me an e-mail or check Amsterdam Beautiful for more information.

to satisfy your eyes
there are always plenty of nice things to look at if the men from Weltevree set up their shop somewhere. Weltevree is a Dutch designcompany, well known from their Dutchtub and their beautiful, sturdy iron heater. It is designed for use outside, but could also work inside if you make sure the surface of your floor is fireproof.
and some more
One room was decorated with all sorts of eco-friendly products and designs, also known as sustainable luxury, brought together by blogger Annouk Post, creator of the blog Hiphonest.
some (late) news from Lloyd Hotel
Because I'm a bit late with my news from the InsideDesign fair, I'll make it short. The rooms of Lloyd Hotel (my favourite office away from my house), were decorated by different brands, designers and artists. In these images you can see the many possibilities of the cabinet units of Montana . Like a bench with space for books and magazines under the seat, and a slim lined kitchen work counter.

more at Ijm
Ijm is created by Frank Visser, but he always shares is work, ideas and his studio with a lot of other creative people. During InsideDesign you could also have a look at the drawings of Charlotte Koopman and Veronik Willems (below) and visit Mieke Willems a shop that is set up by Mieke Verbijlen and Veronik Willems. Lovely work that puts a smile on your face.
Marlein at Ijm
People that visit or work with Frank Visser's studio Ijm, are always spoiled with Marlein Overakker's food. This weekend, during InsideDesign, she cooked in the evenings, that was served inside Frank's studio. So you could feast your eyes as well as your stomach. I still dream about the dessert: whipped cream with crushed raspberries, dark dark chocolate and cookies. Served from a big jar...
If you ever visit Ijm, don't forget to sneek a peek at Marlein's kitchen, a dream for every food and style lover.

They are always striving to be better.

I got into a car accident. My first one ever in fact. I wasn't really sure where to turn or what to do, but I knew my back and neck were pretty messed up and I needed some help.

Im very satisfied and I would come back again. - Zebulon Clark

"Life changing experience"
"I was in a car accident. I felt fine right after the accident, did not think I was injured badly as I was. That following day, I began to shows sign of inflammation in my left knee. I went to the ER they prescribed me Tramadol and Flexeril to ease the pain and to relax the muscles. The medication did nothing but made me sleepy,so I decided to visit this chiropractic clinic upon a referral. Dr. Rumley advised that I come for treatment and repair for a course of approximately 2 months.
Before going to Dr.Rumley I was unable to walk up and down the stairs,stand for a long period of time,sleep comfortably,and I also had trouble with sitting and standing frequently without my knee and back irritating me/feeling uncomfortable. Over the next 2 months of going to regular treatment I am able to run up and down the stairs,I can sleep with comfort,and be sociable like I use to with no pain and no discomfort. With this clinic I know that I made a right decision in making a life changing experience with being a patient at an excellent chiropractic clinic." -Jessica Priest

Great experience! I would recommend them to anyone.-Josh Tillotson
"Very pleased"
We had a car accident a few months ago and I felt like I couldn't move...my neck was stiff and I could barely walk my back hurt so bad. So I went to see Dr Matt and I felt much better after the first visit and we had more energy with every visit. Dr Matt and his staff are awesome...they helped us get back to work and enjoying life with much less pain. I couldn't believe how much better we felt without even taking my meds. His office taught us that we shouldn't be scared of pain but instead focus on what is causing the pain. My wife and I were very pleased and we recommend this office to any one that's gone through what we did. Thanks guys!! -Andy Racz
"Dedicated to getting you well"
I was referred to Dr. Rumley's office by a co-worker about 2 and a half months ago after a pretty intense car crash. I have never met anyone person, let alone an entire staff as dedicated to getting you well and keeping you that way as I have found with Dr. Rumley and his staff. Everyone has an absolute passion for keeping their patients happy and healthy.If you are reading this because you are in pain and in need of a true professional in the field of chiropractic care, I can't recommend strongly enough to go see Dr. Rumley and his staff, you'll be glad you did. -Monica Bricka
"Really high quality of care"
I usually don't do reviews, but my family had a car accident and after the whole nightmare that took the process. We choose a chiropractor. Dr's Rumley office "Rumley Family Chiropractic P.A.". It was very easy to see how he care his patients. Really high quality care and don't make you wait. I definitely recommend this office.- Georgina Rodriguez

"Dr.Matt is the best"
Personally, I am a young successful business owner, happy but stressed. In 2012, I began certain neck stretches before getting out of bed based on Dr. Matt's suggestion. After my sessions has made my neck pain disappear, the stretches caused me to be symptom free for years! He has helped me with back injuries, bone shifts, a skiing accident... its nice to have found a Doctor that is so widely knowledgeable and able to educate his patients rather than just fixing them.Dr. Matt Rumley interned/assisted, and eventually ended up taking over an established wellness/pain center in a nice part of town. With the Rumley Family in charge, there seems to be a constant stream of repeat-visitors. There is a very simple reason for this....Dr. Matt is the best! -Michael Schauben
"We will miss the people here"
Going to the doctor is never a fun experience. However, after my friend had a car accident we were referred to his office. It is very family friendly and welcoming. When his appointments end, even though it's a good sign to recovery, we will miss the people here. Everyone is professional and there are no surprises as to what the treatment will be. A wonderful experience all the way around! - Danielle Kerr
"I feel as if I am at home"
As an educator with a a busy schedule, I hated that I had to find time to go to the doctor! Yet, I needed to because I am constant pain daily. I was driving by and saw Dr. Rumley's office and they fit me in right away. I feel as if I am at home when I visit this office and their main concern is making sure I get back to my once physicality. I am so happy to be a patient in this office and would encourage any and everyone to visit. Amanda Jenkins
"I can say I'm 100% better"
I do a lot of Obstacle Course Racing and played soccer my whole life. I guess all of these activities took a toll on my back because I ended up with two herniated disks and a bulge. Went and saw Dr. Rumley and after my 12th session completed today of decompression therapy, I can say I'm 100% better. I am running again with no pain and it's like the injury never happened. This is saying a lot because back in June I spent 5 days where I could not even walk due to the pain. Dr. Rumley and his staff are great, they really make you feel welcomed and listen to what you have to say. Overall, great experience with my first chiropractor and I will continue to go see him monthly just to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be. Alexander Soutos
Tuve un accidente de carro hace un par de meses y mi abogado
me refirió con el Dr. MatthewRumley. Desde el primer dia senti el cambio en mi vida. El doctor y la gente que trabaja con él, me trataron como ser humano y familia, me atendieron sin restricciones y se enfocaron en todas las partes que me dolían sin preguntar si fue antes o despues del accidente. Mi terapia ha teminado pero me siento como con 20 años menos! Eh mejorado un 70% en general! Les recomiendo a todos que se traten con este Doctor porque veran la gran diferencia entre una oficina de quiropracticos donde ponen a todos los pacientes a hacer los mismos ejercicios sin importar que los dolores de los pacientes sean diferentes, aquí con el Dr.Matthew el tratamiento es personalizado.-Luz Romero
I was in a car accident and this guys did a great job, Highly recommend them. -

"They go above & beyond"
A few months ago I was involved in a car accident, not knowing that for months to come it would result in me having to undergo therapy. As I searched the web I came across Rumley Family Chiropractic & because of the convenient location I figured why not give them a try. When I first walked in the office I instaneously picked up a great vibe from their beautiful daughter Katherine smile, to the humble & beautiful spirit of the wife & secretary/assistant. They go above & beyond working as a team, striving for excellence in anyway possible - Aunese Crayton
