Update 26 May 2015 - I'll be rebuilding this hideous thing soon.
I have conceded the fact that Benjamin & Sarah Baldwin Fenn had no son named Edward. If anyone can prove the parentage of Edward Fenn, born about 1644 in CT., please email me!
One who questioned the connection gave me info on the known children of Benjamin & Sarah, and is sending the info. According to her, the children are:
According to the source above and Benjamin's Will, the children of Benjamin Fenn and second wife Susannah Ward were:
Benjamin's Will states his children as being Benjamin, Samuel, James, Sarah, Mary, Martha, and Susannah. There's no mention of Joseph.
My Fenn ancestors are a well-researched line that came to the new world from England in the 1600s. The Fenn name, according to the self-published book "The Descendants of Edward Fenn of Wallingford, Conn.," by The Rev. Father Ara Fenn Walker, S.J., and Elizabeth Fenn Balduc, dated 1971, was of ancient origin and in most cases of common ancestry at a remote period. The authors mention one branch of the Fenn line descending from Hugh Fenne, who lived in Yorkshire, England, at the time of Richard the Second.

Theophilus M. and Mary Dibble Fenn were among the early settlers of Medina, Ohio, in 1832, according to the book by The Reverend Walker and Mrs. Balduc. It notes that the Fenns were among the charter members of the First Baptist Church, organized in a schoolhouse in Fenn's Corners. Theophilus laid the cornerstone of the newly built church in September, 1845. Fenn's Corners and Fenn Road remain.
Oscar and Salina had 1 son, Freddie, who died at the age of 1 year 3 months, and 2 daughters, Nora (Nona) Annise, and Cora. They moved to Stanton, Moncalm County, Mi., in 1866, where Oscar became a business owner and community leader. Salina's death was due to a miscarriage, according to her death certificate. After Salina's death, Oscar married Kate Carswell Wallace on 6 November 1873. Oscar and Kate had 4 children.

Hi everyone,
Today we picked up a new guinea pig from the pet store. We have an 8 sq. foot Midwest guinea cage and a pigloo as well as wooden Kaytee home. The guinea pig we had at home is a male shorthair around 6 months old. The new one is also a male short hair although he is 4 months old. We tried bonding them outside in a large and safe area of the yard. They seemed to get along fine, they sniffed each other for a while, so we moved them to the cage. We had just cleaned the cage and rearranged it the pigs went in and immediately holed up with the new one in the pigloo and old one in the wooden home. We were worried as they kept chattering and thought we might give them more space in the neutral area. We put them back out then they approached each other and started vibrating/chattering and then started fighting tooth and nail. We immediately pulled them apart then made a divider so they can see and smell eath other but do no physical damage. We weren't sure how bad it would get, they are currently teeth grinding, swinging hips, and purring/growling/vibrating through the divider screen. Our old one seems to be the provocative guinea pig in this situation. No blood has been drawn so should I take out the divider and let them work it out, or should I keep it? ANy other tips on bonding them would be great!!!
Thanks in advance!

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The city of Cleveland is about to face a huge fine for violating an agreement with the federal government.
In one week, the city will either reopen Superior through Public Square to bus traffic or face a $12 million fine.
It's been an issue for months.
When the newly-renovated square reopened in June, it remained closed to bus traffic. But the Federal Transit Administration said the city of Cleveland violated a 2004 agreement and RTA must repay $12 million.
The whole goal of rebuilding Public Square was to make it more usable. There are diametrically opposed opinions in the city on whether that has been achieved.
A group gathered before last night's city council meeting hoping to sway Mayor Frank Jackson's decision. He has argued that there is a major issue to consider which wasn't as much of a concern when they made the deal for the federal money back in 2004: potential terrorist attacks.
He previously said leaving the square open was "irresponsible" and would increase the risk of terrorist attacks.
Earlier this month, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority released the findings of traffic studies.
"Opening Superior Avenue to GCRTA usage will reduce the operational risk to GCRTA operations, pedestrians and motor vehicles around the perimeter roadway. The listed pedestrian crossing safety mitigations for the Superior Avenue center block pedestrian crossing should be implemented," a report from K&J Safety and Security Consulting Services said. It also concluded "terrorism vulnerabilities exist whether Superior Avenue is open or closed."
Another study determined that closing the street through Public Square would increase RTA's annual operating cost by more than $805,000.
The advocacy group, Clevelanders for Public Transit, filed a Title 6 complaint Monday, alleging that it unfairly targets African-Americans who rely heavily on public transportation.

I'm planning some revisions to my Blog - and I thought a weekly challenge might be fun. So... I'm hosting a weekly "Garden Party".
At the Garden Party, I'll share something that inspired me. It might be a blog, an ad, a picture, anything that catches my eye. Then I'll share what I ended up making.
I'm hoping some of you might want to play along too. If you do, please link your creations in a comment here - I'd love to see them! (Hmmmm.... maybe some prizes are in order).
My first Garden Party inspiration came from the blog Kris's Color Stripes. I find it absolutely fascinating the way Kris can take a photo of anything and pick out all these amazing colors.
Go check it out - it's really cool.
Its OK....I'll wait, I'll just google the weather or something while you're gone......
Cool huh?? I discovered this blog through a link on Stamping Mathilda's blog. Another blog well worth the time to look through (check out her blog banner - too cute).
So for this Garden Party inspiration, I chose the February Palette set of color stripes - the set at the right in particular. I love blue and brown together - but I don't know if I would have ever used both the darker and lighter brown without the color stripes inspiration.
So here is my Garden Party contribution. What do you think?
I think I like it. I used a really neat clear HOTP stamp set called Botanicals. It has a bunch of different florals - some solid and some open. And there are separate flowers and stems - so you can arrange the images and stamp in different colors however you like. The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado clear set.
Stay tuned tomorrow for my big announcement and some great blog candy.....(there is a big hint in today's post).

Have you considered getting a Mont Blanc roof box for your car? If so, you've probably faced a quandary.
What are the differences between the Mont Blanc Altitude vs. Mont Blanc Cargo? On the surface, they are subtle. But if you're a real outdoors enthusiast who cares for your gear, you need to know which is right for you.
For the sake of comparison, I'm going to look at the 450 version of each. Therefore, volume is going to be similar (although bizarrely, the Cargo only has 420 liters to the Altitude's 450, despite the name.)
All you need to concern yourself with is which car roof box is right for you. Here's the breakdown of the Altitude vs Cargo:
Quick Look: Comparison Table
|Altitude 450
|Cargo 450
|Best For
|Specialized gear, like skis
|Miscelaneous cargo
|See on Amazon
|See on Ebay
|450 litres
|420 litres
|Load Capacity
|Top Speed
|130 km/h
|120 km/h
Weight, Shape and Storage Capacity
One of the primary concerns many have when installing a roof box is the weight and shape of it. How well will it work on their vehicle?
While only subtly different in the aesthetics department, the Mont Blanc Altitude and Mont Blanc Cargo 450 roof boxes do diverge significantly in weight.
Being 20 liters less in storage volume, you might expect the Cargo 450 to be a bit lighter than the Altitude. However, the difference is actually quite profound. The Altitude tips the scales at 21.5 kg, compared to the Cargo's 15 kg.
Naturally, the weight of your roof box will affect vehicle performance and difficulty of installation. So that is an important consideration.
The difference in shape between the Altitude and Cargo is less pronounced, but still worth mentioning. The Cargo 450 appears to have a boxier shape than the longer and seemingly leaner Altitude, despite actually being shorter in overall height at 35 cm to the Altitude's 43 cm.
The more obvious length discrepancy creates this optical illusion. The Altitude stretches to 215 cm compared to the Cargo's 182 cm.
Overall, the aesthetic impression the Altitude 450 leaves is one of better aerodynamics than to the more functional look of the Cargo 450. Additionally, the Cargo appears to be more a general storage option. On the other hand, the Altitude accommodates specific kinds of gear like skis.
The storage capacity in terms of space isn't radically different between the two roof boxes. However, there is a significant discrepancy in terms of how much weight they can carry safely.
The Cargo 450 has a max capacity of 50 kg. The Altitude can handle an impressive 75 kg of gear. That is enough to satisfy even the biggest outdoors enthusiast.
Material and Durability
If you're torn between the Mont Blanc Cargo 450 and the Mont Blanc Altitude 450, it's unlikely the material they're made of will make much of a difference, because here they are exactly the same.
Both the Cargo and the Altitude are composed of impact-resistant ABS, to withstand the wear and tear of regular use while minimizing weight.
Both are also UV-light-resistant, which can cause fading and look unattractive over time. The Cargo and Altitude 450 roof boxes both have an attractive glossy, almost metallic, finish that would look great on most vehicles.
In terms of durability, both are likely close given the shared materials and similar build. However, make sure to note that, according to Mont Blanc's website, they have marked only the Altitude 450 as "City Crash Tested." That means the box has been subject to a rigorous independent test to ensure it would remain secure and intact in the event of a car accident in city-driving conditions.
The Cargo 450 and the Altitude 450 roof boxes both require some hands-on installation. Luckily, each includes a set of visual instructions to guide the user through the process, which are available to view and download on the Mont Blanc website, as well.
Both are purported to be roof rack agnostic, and should easily install on the vast majority of conventional racks. That said, on Mont Blanc's site, they only specifically label the Altitude to work with steel and aluminum racks. The Cargo lacks this distinction.
Neither roof rack requires specialized tools to install. However, the Altitude seems to have streamlined the installation process. It has four simple anchors connecting it to the roof rack.
The Cargo requires a little more fuss, with several screws, brackets and straps necessary to fasten it to your vehicle's roof.
The installation manual also includes a top speed they recommend for safe travel with the roof boxes. Interestingly, in spite of its larger size and simpler installation the Altitude is assured up to 130 km/h while the Cargo is recommended to go no faster than 120 km/h.
Other Considerations
Still torn? There are a few other things to consider for each of these roof boxes. If you're the type of person who's always wondering if they locked the door when they leave the house, the Cargo 450 offers a solution.
If your key hasn't successfully turned to lock the box shut, you can't remove it. That ensures security both while traveling and when parked.
The Altitude 450 has some bells and whistles of its own. You can purchase a variety of sticker sets to customize the look of your roof box, and give the aesthetic some personal flair.
But as nice as stickers are, they are probably not your primary concern when looking for a roof box. Fortunately, Swedish magazine Teknikens Värld recognized the Altitude 450 as best in class winner for 2018 against steep competition from other brands.
They cited its simplicity, design and stability. If you're looking for external validation, the Altitude has certainly received it.
The Verdict
So which is better, the Altitude 450 or the Cargo 450 roof box? In every measurable way, it's clear the Mont Blanc Altitude 450 surpasses the Cargo. It's larger (though, that might be a drawback when it comes to garage storage for your cargo box), has more internal volume, has a larger max weight capacity, and it can even withstand higher top speeds when installed.
While the Altitude is quite a bit heavier than the Cargo, it is nonetheless more suited to almost any kind of gear transport. If you're looking for the better Mont Blanc, look no further than the Altitude 450.

Portals are Websites or services that offer a broad array of resources and services, such as e-mail, forums, search engines, content and on-line shopping malls. The first Web portals were online services, such as America Online (AOL), Yahoo! that provided access to the Web, but by now most of the traditional search engines have transformed themselves into Web portals becoming an online interaction point for virtual communities.
It has now become imperative for portals to be able to scale & meet these high traffic volumes and to competitively offer additional services. The success of a portal also lies in aggregating and deploying fresh content and offer personalization options to its users.
Building a portal involves integrating diverse technology applications & content aggregation and delivery to be delivered via a uniform easy to use browser based user interface to the user. These services are in turn delivered by multiple applications which are not usually available from the same stable. Issues like user management, single sign-on and user synchronization, as well as maintenance of user and application states across these applications become vital.

Well, it's definitely been an action packed year so far! its been a busy few weeks and it was nice to relax with some tea and biscuits at our rehearsal last night in Hampstead Norreys. Our group performances have taken us to some of our favourite venues in Berkshire including Norden Farm in Maidenhead, Cliveden House in Taplow, Ufton Court in Reading, Danesfield House in Marlowe and a string duo performance at Highclere Castle near Newbury. Upcoming appearances include performances in London as well as work closer to home.
As individuals we have been leading orchestral concerts, undertaking session recordings and performing in numerous chamber music recitals in and around the South East as well as exciting moving our base to Newbury on the Berkshire Hampshire border where the majority of our musicians live and work. This means we shall now be able to extend our area of work to cover more of Hampshire in addition to our current 'patch of Berkshire which we are very excited about!

Fishing Tour in Nepal
If you have enough time and patient then Angling or Fishing in Nepal could be a very interesting sport for you. Fishing is an Eco-friendly sport which requires great patient and lots of time. This sport would not suite for those who are out of patience when they loose a fish or get tired while waiting for their catch. Sport of fishing like hunting, is not well-advertised in Nepal, but is possible and rewarding.
There are approximately 118 varieties of fresh- water fish in these Himalayan waters, ranging from the much sought after Mahseer to the mountain stream trout-like varieties . Anglers can try their luck in Pokhara's crystal clear lakes, or in west Nepal's Bardia Wildlife reserves where we can organizes guided fishing trips. While trekking or rafting, bring along your pole, or give the locals' method a try vita bamboo pole or crude fish trap. There are some specific ethnic group in the hills and Terai region of Nepal whose lifestyle has been based on Fishing. Bote, Majhi, Tharu and Machhuwar are some of them.The best season to go fishing on the white waters is before and after the monsoon from February till April and October and November. During these times, the fish go upstream to spawn and consume less food. This sport would not suite for those who are out of patience when they loose a fish or get tired while waiting for their catch.
Where to Fish
Some of the popular fishing trips are done in Karnali, Babai Valley in the Bardiya National Park. Chitwan also hosts a number of angling spots like the confluence of Seti and Trisuli, as well as Kaligandaki and Trisuli. Fishing can be organized enjoying camping and Rafting in wilderness or spending in Lodge with additional Jungle activities in Chitwan National park. There are several Jungle Lodges in Chitwan National Park. We can organize Fishing Trips as per the clients' requirement and interest. We also organize fishing trips in streams close to Kathmandu.
Fishing is more fun in the mountain streams. Here there are varieties of trout- rainbow trout and common ones. The Himalayan rivers and lakes camps offer good grounds for fishing for the fishing adventure lovers. It is an exciting and wonderful spot to hook out the colorful fish in the clear Himalayan Rivers.
Dolalghat, eats of the valley on the Kodari Highway, is another 'catchy place'. You can encounter Nepali holidaymakers and the locals on the look out for local variety of Asla and Katla, the former a kind of trout and the latter a carp. You could bring some flies along and try your luck. Some of the Dams across Nepal's many rivers too have a good stock of fish.
The rivers in the Terai are an angler's dream. Large catfish, murrel and carp are found in abundance here. While trekking along Karnali, Sun Kosi, Bheri and Arun rivers, or rafting, bring along a rod or give the local methods a go- using a bamboo pole or a crude fish trap. The mahseer is a large and much- prized sport fish found in the Geruwa River that skirts the park. However, its numbers are dwindling rapidly, and it is best to let go of it once you land one.

A Finnish Midsummer Celebration
On June 23rd, Midsummer was celebrated in Finland. For Finns, this holiday, which is connected to summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is just as important as Christmas. This isn't so surprising when you know how short days are here in winter. In the south of Finland, days get as short as 5 hours. In the north, the sun doesn't even rise for almost 2 months. Salla Paajanen, head of Metrohm Nordic in Finland, invited me to spend Midsummer with her and her family in their lakeside cottage in the countryside.
Midsummer in Finland is all about making the most of the long summer days, knowing that the dark, sunless days of winter will surely come. The Midsummer celebration typically lasts not just one day, but an entire weekend, during which families gather in the countryside to spend this special time of the year together. Salla and some of her siblings and cousins with their partners and offspring came together in southeastern Finland at their family's lakeside cottage in the forest.
Going to the cottage means living the simple life for a few days: Finland is generally sparsely populated, and the isolated cottages are generally not connected to the public water system. Salla's cottage has dry toilets in sheds a few meters from the cottage and a gas-heated outside shower that takes water from the lake. The cottage is crowded with the extended family, so there's not a lot of room to retreat for a quiet moment alone. But no one's here to be alone: everybody looks forward to these few days a year when the time seems to stand still all over Finland and the extended family can come together.
The Midsummer weekend is a very relaxed time, which is spent talking, playing board games, and eating together. When the weather allows it, people spend some time on the lake in small boats and go to swim. Salla and her family love the outdoors, and there's no better place than the summer cottage as a starting point for a hike.
The sauna is an essential part of Finnish life, and this doesn't stop on Midsummer: cottages are equipped with a sauna, where you relax at 70 to 100 °C for a few minutes before taking an outside shower with a view of the lake, or taking a swim in the lake if you're not afraid of cold water.
On the eve of Midsummer, most families light bonfires at their summer cottages. Because there was such strong wind, unfortunately, we couldn't do it this year. The strong winds caused power cuts throughout large parts of the country, including our cottage. But with days that seem to last forever, the absence of electrical light is just a minor concern. And as long as the wood-fired sauna still works, everyone is happy.

To see the prices of the toys, click the links after their description. They are not included in the articles since they are subject to change.
Ladies that can't get enough of ladies know that finding the perfect couples toys is like trying to tap dance through a minefield.
This is why we put together this handy little guide to help you find the best lesbian toys the world has to offer.
Now keep in mind that a majority of the entries in this article assume that at least one of you two enjoys penetration.
We understand that it isn't always the case but we've already covered external toys plenty in the past.
So if that's your shtick, you should take a look at our clit toys as well as our wand guide!
We'll also talk a lot about strap-ons in this article but not so much about strap-on compatible dildos.
So make sure to read our best unrealistic dildos list to better equip yourself for action.
And for the interested, we also have pretty extensive realistic and large dildo lists as well.
Also, make sure to see our guide on what lubes to use as well as how to clean your toys to avoid any complications.
That being said, here's our top 10 list of best lesbian toys and harnesses for couples, not necessarily from worst to best, because everyone's needs and budgets are different.
- 1 Cheap Lesbian Toys
- 2 Mid-Range Lesbian Toys
- 3 High-End Lesbian Toys
Cheap Lesbian Toys
Sili Saddle
The Sili Saddle may look like nothing, but it's a super versatile little lump of squishy silicone.
It was invented by a woman suffering from genital distress to help her achieve discomfort–free masturbation.
The resulting toy is a super soft and squishy silicone pad shaped to work harmoniously with the female anatomy.
So if direct pressure is too much for one of you during masturbation, this is a great non-penetrative toy to have.
And turns out, it can do much more than help women with sensitive bits get off.
You see, a big issue with using strap-ons is that vigorous play almost always ends with a beat-up mons for the wearer. And this is where the Sili Saddle can help.
The Sili Saddle will stick to almost any dildo with a flat base providing some well deserved cushioning for your abused pubic mounds.
And If the dildo situation is a bit more complex ( like having a suction cup ), you can always secure the Sili Saddle in a pair of panties and put the strap on over the whole getup.
Of course, if you're using a G-String or a brief style strap-on, you could just secure the Sili Saddle in there without needing to use any underwear to keep it in place.
A lot of people also use the Sili Saddle for making bike riding more comfortable for the riders.
So if you're a bike riding, strap-on wielding lesbian, you really need this in your life.
But if there's one of you that is very sensitive to touch or suffering from vaginal irritations, it's a great aid for making masturbation more comfortable and pleasurable as well.
Budget Harness
For lesbians who fancy Strap-On play, it's no mystery that finding a comfortable, stable and cheap harness can be a full-time job.
So for this entry, we will cover the cheapest but still valuable harnesses you can buy today.
And as always be sure to check out our dildo lists ( Non-Realistic / Realistic / Large ) to find out about the best body-safe and harness compatible dildos the world has to offer.
Vac-U-Lock Supreme Harness
While most Vac-U-Lock compatible harnesses will only work with Vac-U-Lock toys, this one gives you the option of using the Universal O-Ring System as well.
So it gives you a ton of compatibility whether you want to use the very stable but limited Vac-U-Lock System or any other dildo with a base with the included O-Rings.
The kit comes with a Vac-U-Lock Adapter, Differently Sized O-Rings and plenty of strap-length so it can fit on bigger girls as well.
Of course, you should cut the straps to your desired length if you don't want them dangling about.
The Supreme Harness is unisex and is the most comfortable harnesses in the Vac-U-Lock collection in part due to the back support that won't dig in your skin as you thrust.
If you do decide to use Vac-U-Lock toys with the Supreme Harness, know that the beat up mons situation discussed in the Sili Saddle entry is even worse than with standard dildos. So if you go that route, the Sili Saddle is almost mandatory.
Rodeoh Harnesses
Rodeoh makes brief-style strap-ons that are essentially a cheap alternative to the great Spareparts Tomboi Harness.
Each model comes outfitted with a stretchy adjustable O-ring, so you won't have to carry multiple rings to accommodate all your dildos.
They are also compatible with "Strapless" dildos thanks to an opening aligned with the O-Ring.
Rodeoh offers a model called the duo that is specifically made for this as well.
Just know that the Stretchy O-Rings aren't the most durable, and you might have to completely replace your harness after some time. But at such a low price, this isn't dramatic.
They also aren't as stable as the panty and brief-style harnesses from SpareParts and definitely not as stable as most traditional jockstrap or G-string style harnesses.
They are essentially just underwear with O-Rings.
But if you're looking for a cheap brief-style harness, it doesn't get any better than this.
Tantus Harness Kits
The harnesses included in these kits are some of the most basic harnesses on this list.
But the fact that they're bundled with beautiful non-phallic silicone toys from Tantus make these kits extremely valuable for people who are just starting out.
Tantus offers kits with straight smooth dildos as well as models with intense g-spot curves.
Just don't be fooled by the harnesses that come with a bullet vibe.
The bullet vibes themselves are rather cheap, but what's even worst is the placement of the bullet pockets.
You see, the people who made these harnesses seem to have no knowledge of the female anatomy and unless your clitoris is near your belly button, you won't get much out of these.
The harnesses are still fine by themselves once you've discarded the bullet vibes, so don't let that deter you, especially if you're looking for a great deal.
These are all great options if money isn't easy to come by or if you're just trying to figure out if harnesses are for you.
If these options are still too rich for your blood, you should also check out this DIY Scarf harness, which is a great option to use on the go.
Otherwise, we're big fans of the beautiful rope Harness by the great Artemisa FemmeCock ( And bookmark her blog while you're at it! ).
Mid-Range Lesbian Toys
Fuze & Wet for Her Dildos
If the strap-on wearer isn't too keen on penetration or just prefers clitoral stimulation in general, "strapless" dildos are probably the last thing they want to strap onto.
Well if you felt left out in this land of abundant strapless dils, you can put those emotions aside since, as always, we've got your back.
The Fuze and Wet For Her Fusion dildos are meant to rub against the wearers' clitoris as they play.
They are compatible with "strapless" / double dildo ready strap-ons like the Rodeoh, Aslan & Spareparts harnesses.
Both companies offer plenty of different sizes and colors but there are some key differences.
The Fuze Dildos have non-realistic as well as realistic options and they come with a socket for a bullet vibe ( perfect for the great Tango ) that aligns perfectly with the wearers' clitoris.
The Wet for her Fusion dildos are a more minimalistic option to the Fuze Dildos. They offer a bit fewer choices in terms of sizes and colors and they don't come with a bullet hole either.
But you will find their shape to be even less phallic than the non-realistic options from Fuze.
If you don't mind Realistic dildos, the Mustang Royale by Vixen Creations is probably the most comfortable one of the bunch. It comes in 3 realistic colors and you'll also benefit from their amazing dual-density silicone.
Just keep in mind that if direct and/or vigorous pressure is uncomfortable for your clitoris, you're probably better off using the Sili Saddle instead.
Lush by Lovense
If you're looking for an app-controlled, powerful, and versatile vaginal toy to use in public, in the bedroom or while wearing a strap-on, you will love the Lovense Lush.
The tail end of the toy is the antenna.
So keep in mind that if the antenna is between your legs, or in your butt crack, it will be difficult for the signal to reach its target.
This great little toy can be used solo by controlling it with your own cellphone or it can be controlled from long distances when connected to the internet.
You can also grant access to a partner to control the toy over Bluetooth.
And while this is fine to use in the bedroom, in public this might become a bit problematic.
You see, Bluetooth is a bit tricky since it can't go through flesh. So if your significant other is at a weird angle or someone is in the way, you will lose contact with the toy.
A good fix to remedy this issue is to simply use the toy over 3G/4G or Wi-Fi when in public.
It's also good to allow your phones to stay connected to the Internet and Bluetooth when the screen is off. This can easily be tweaked in your phone's settings.
Otherwise, the app is pretty versatile. You can customize your vibrations and patterns, you can sync the toy to music, video chat with your partner while letting them control your toy and so on.
Another option that most won't benefit from is that this toy is compatible with most sex cam sites. This means you can trigger the Lush to vibrate to the sound of the viewer's tips. Which is a great incentive for them to finance your operation.
The big caveat to almost any wireless couples sex toys like the Lush is that and they're known to straight up not work for bigger women.So if it's the case, you're better off skipping the Lush and the next two entries altogether.
Of course, there might be some connectivity issues when used in public or for larger women, but this is mainly an issue with Bluetooth in general.
We-Vibe's Ditto & Lovense's Hush
Last but not least with wireless toys are these two excellent little plugs that are bound to be a hit with Couples who enjoy a bit of anal play.
And if you're wondering why there are two different toys in the same entry, it's because these two great wireless couples toys complement each other instead of competing for the same spot.
You see, We-Vibes Ditto is the smallest one of the bunch, so the most accessible.
And the Hush come in two sizes acting perfectly as a medium and large cousin to the Ditto.
To give you an idea, here's a picture from LSOP's blog of the Ditto compared to the smallest version of the Hush.
We-Vibe's Ditto is 3 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. It can be controlled with either a wireless controller or with an app on your smartphone. On the app, you can customize your vibrations and let a partner control your toy from any distance.
The vibrations are strong and rumbly and carry through the perineum thanks to its smart shape.
We-Vibes effort also comes in Purple and Navy.
Lovense's Hush comes in two sizes, one is 1.5 inches wide and the other is 1.75. Both are just short of 4 inches of insertable length.
This time there's no wireless controller included but the app works very well by itself. It can also be controlled by a second party from anywhere in the world.
Just like the Ditto, the vibrations go from smooth rumbles to intense vibrations.
Just keep in mind that both of these wireless couples toys aren't perfect. Sometimes, the wireless signals have a hard time to get through people or limbs and they're known to straight up not work for bigger men and women.
But sadly, this is an issue with most wireless couples toys so we can't really blame it on Lovense or We-Vibe.
So if you're looking for strong vibrations in a wireless anal plug, both are great options.
The lack of a controller for the hush makes it a bit awkward to use while having sex though, having to bring your smartphone along.
High-End Lesbian Toys
Spareparts Hardwear Strap-ons
Spareparts harnesses are the evolution of the traditional harness.
These futuristic harnesses for futuristic people are also the most comfortable and durable strap-ons you can buy today.
All models are outfitted with durable Elastic O-rings that will accommodate a large variety of dildos and they will all work with double or "strapless" dildos as well.
The material you will find on the SpareParts harnesses is extremely comfortable, breathable and the material dries almost as fast as you wet it.
And one of our favorite features is that you will find pockets on top and under the O-Ring to stash away some bullet vibes.
They are easy to trigger through the material, this way you don't have to dig in there every time you want to change speed.
So if you fancy a bit of vibration during play, you will love those handy little pockets.
There's also a fabric separating the dildos and bullets from your skin that can be opened to accommodate any "Strapless"/ Double dildos you might want to use.
The Joque is their most stable and popular model. It's a jockstrap style harness that is very stable, so perfect for vigorous play.
The brief-style Tomboi and the femme-friendly Lingerie and Theo harnesses are a bit less stable but often considered more convenient since you can simply slip them on like normal underwear without having to deal with straps or anything like that.
It's also pretty easy to just hit the town wearing them like regular underwear, always ready for action.
The Tomboi also comes with an extra 3rd pocket on the side for condoms, extra bullet batteries or the phone numbers you might gather during your nights out.
The Lingerie Harness can be converted from a booty panty to a more traditional underwear and comes with optional garter belts.
Let's just give the femmes out there a moment to compose themselves.
So whether you go with the very stable Joque or their convenient underwear style harnesses, you'll be sure to go home with one of the best strap-on you can get today.
Aslan Harnesses
If you're more into old-school leather strap-ons, the only ones you will ever need are the Aslan Harnesses.
They're simply some of the most comfortable and durable leather options you will ever come by.
We also love that Almost all their models can be converted from Jockstrap style to G-String style harnesses without much effort.
Want to give easy access to the good stuff? Switch to Jockstrap.
Want a nice base to hold your "Strapless" dildos? Switch to G-String.
One harness, all sorts of possibilities.
These leather harnesses also come in all sorts of colors and we're big fans of their Prince themed purple harness.
So strap on the Purple Rain Avant dildo, put on your Raspberry beret and Get off! ( If you can't tell, Jim the Dildo Dealer is a huge Prince fan ).
On the other hand, if you're quite the minimalist, they also offer a few cheaper options like the leather Commando and the simple harness which is made Nylon straps.
They're stable but not the most comfortable harnesses you will find in their collection, so wearing some underwear under them can help.
And If you like the Idea of "Strapless" dildos but never could find the perfect fit for you, you'll love their Double Up Dildo Cuffs.
It's essentially a dildo holder for the wearer that you can attach at the bottom of your strap-on.
You can attach any dildo or buttplug with a base and enjoy some penetration of your own.
Another Attachment that is worth a whole lot of praise is their Driver Pad, which acts like a Sili Saddle that can be secured onto your harness to protect your poor mons from abuse.
And if you go with Aslan, you'll be sure to get the best leather strap-ons money can buy.
We-Vibe Sync
We've seen every iteration of We-Vibe's flagship couples toy, the device that started it all.
The Sync is the 6th installment and we're glad to say they finally perfected the formula.
The Sync is made to clamp onto a woman's pubic bone.
It provides vibrations both to the clitoris and the G-Spot simultaneously.
This handy shape is great for hands-free play but it is also made to be used during penetration.
So if you like throwing strap-ons into the mix, the wearer and/or the receiver can both benefit from this toy if worn.
It's especially useful for the gal who isn't too keen on penetration since most of the focus is on the clitoris and the G-pot without taking much vaginal real-estate.
On the other hand, if you're all about that penetration, using dildos while wearing the Sync will make the experience even more intense.
We-Vibe 1, 2, 3, 4 and 4 plus were all pretty underwhelming in terms of vibration. Very strange since we-vibe makes the amazing rumbly tango. The sync sure went along and fixed that.
This little couples toy rumbles like it's at least twice its size.
The vibrations on the clitoris are more powerful than the ones found on the G-spot. That's a small price to pay to keep the insertable part small enough to accommodate penetration as well.
Another Issue that was common with all the previous iterations was the fit of the toy. But again, the sync aims to fix that thanks to its now fully adjustable body.
The Sync can either be controlled with buttons directly on the device or with its handy remote.
If you wanna push its reach even further, it is also App enabled.
This means it can be controlled from any distance through the internet or over Bluetooth.
And while the sync has plenty of functions by itself, you can get even more through the app.
You can even make your own patterns quite easily as well as "syncing the Sync" to the sound of music as well.
Like other Bluetooth couples toys, if you wish to control them in public, you're better off doing it over 3G/4G or wi-fi as opposed to Bluetooth.
Also, closing your legs while sitting or being extra curvy might get in the way of the signal, so keep that in mind.
And this little king amongst lesbian toys is so versatile it's not even funny.
Wear it inside, outside, under your strap-on or while using toys, the choice is yours!
"Strapless"/ Double Dildos
As you may have noticed, up to this point, every time we've written "Strapless" it was never without quotation marks.
That's because we can't stress enough that these are NOT made to be used without a strap-on.
While some really powerful kegel kung fu masters might be able to hold these only with the strength of their own vaginal walls, most of us puny humans won't be able to achieve such feats. Especially when things get wet and slippery!
This doesn't mean these toys aren't great, quite the opposite. It only means that they're victims of consistent false advertising.
The real thrill of these toys is that they provide vaginal stimulation to both the wearer and the receiver. So if you both enjoy penetration, these are well worth considering.
It's also the only type of strap-on dildos that gives such instant feedback during play.
Of course, if you don't enjoy a ton of pressure on your G-Spot, these probably won't do it for you.
Also, most of the models offered come with lackluster Bullet Vibes.
So we highly suggest investing in something like the powerful Tango by We-Vibe so the vibrations actually do something instead of being dampened by all that silicone.
Now that the disclaimers are out of the way, here are some of the most popular models:
Feeldoe/Realdoe by Tantus
If you've heard about "Strapless" dildos, chances are you know about the Feeldoes & Realdoes.
All models are rather rigid, so if hard toys aren't your thing, you might have to consider the other toys below.
The Feeldoes are non-realistic and have a shiny finish that offers almost no friction during play.
On the other hand, the Realdoes are a realistic looking alternative that has a matte finish that feels soft to the touch. The matte texture will also cause more drag, so be sure to use extra lube.
Both models come in 4 sizes (being the Classic, the Slim, the Stout, & the More that is extra long) and they offer models with bullet vibes for extra stimulation.
Just ditch the vibes and get something stronger if you want to feel anything!
Fun Factory Share & Sharevibe
These Fun Factory toys are some of the most refined looking strapless dildos we've ever seen.
They all come with a silky smooth matte finish, so keep some extra lube close if you want to avoid drag.
Fun Factory's options are less rigid than the Feeldoes & Realdoes so it's easier to hit all sorts of different angles while going down to plow town.
This is a bit of a problem with the original Share since it has a tendency of dangling down when not supported. But it shouldn't be that much of a problem when worn with a harness.
It's also an issue that was fixed with Sharevibe's new improved shape.
One thing worth considering is that the G-Spot end for the wearer is much larger than most other "Strapless" bulbs.
So if girth is a problem for the wearer, this might not be the best option.
Otherwise, if intense G-Spot stimulation is her thing, she will feel right at home.
On the other hand, the ShareVibe is even less phallic than the Original, and has a pretty decent Vibe included that is rechargeable and submersible under water.
But most importantly is the placement of the bullet vibe hole which aligns very well with the wearers' clitoris.
The big caveat is that the bullet vibe is much larger than standard bullet toys.
So you won't be able to fit the great rumbly Tango inside of your toy if you need an upgrade.
Tango by Fuze
The Tango has a lot in common with the Sharevibe, It has a similar shape and Bullet placement ( no bullet included this time ) but this time the G-Spot Bulb is much smaller, so it is perfect for a wearer who isn't all about that girth.
But most importantly, as opposed to the Sharevibe, it is compatible with regular bullets as well as the amazing Tango Vibe… which probably explains the name of this great double dildo, now that we think about it.
It's also not too rigid and not too soft, so if one of you prefers hard and the other soft, this is the perfect compromise.
And compromise is at the center of every healthy relationship!
Vixen Creations' Nexus
Regular readers know we're suckers for Vixen Creations' toys and these are no exception.
They are the squishiest double dildos on this list.
This means you can hit all sorts of crazy positions without straining your bits too much and the middle of the toy acts a bit like a Sili Saddle, preventing mons and tailbones to collide in a catastrophic fashion.
The insertable end meant for the wearer is also slimmer than any other G-Spot Bulbs on this entry.
They come in 3 different sizes the first two being the Unrealistic Junior and Senior.
The last size is the Peacemaker which sports a realistic and large 2-inch dildo on the receiving end. This large realistic option also comes in Caramel, Vanilla, and Chocolate.
So if you guys dig big toys, well, you're welcome.
If you were looking for more traditional double-ended dildos, the Dorcel ( 16 inches ) and the Ruse by Blush ( 18 inches ) are some of the only body-safe options we're aware of.
Otherwise, the double dildo connector for Vac-U-Lock toys is another great option if you want to customize each other's ends to your liking.
These ones aren't technically toys for couples, but it is the type of thing that once you get one, you wonder where it's been all your life.
Basically, these are pillows, throws and furniture built for sexual intercourse.
All models are very easily washed. Their covers are removable and machine washable, so no need to change the entire set of sheets every time things get a bit intense.
Another great advantage is that is that they also make a lot of other positions easier and less strenuous. So now you can simply enjoy the ride and stop building pillow forts between positions.
They make ramps and wedges made to align any strap-on wielding gal's appendage directly onto her significant other's G-Spot.
And the angle provided will work whether you're on your back or on your belly.
If you want to keep things simple, their super soft, absorbent and waterproof throws are a lifesaver. They'll also work against whatever fluids you throw at them, may it be lube or your own. You'll also love that they come in multiple colors and sizes.
Want to include dildos, g-spot toys, and rabbit vibes during play?
If they don't have suction cups, the Bonbon & the Wing are perfect for that. Whether you just want to watch the action or live up some threesome fantasies without including other people in the mix, these pillows will hold your toys in place without a hitch.
Otherwise, if you're a fan of the unbelievable strength of the Magic Wand,
you will know that it's difficult to handle it during intercourse.
Liberator's Axis and Wanda aim to fix that, giving you a hands-free and comfortable experience during sex or solo play.
Sadly for Europeans, there's much more choice over at She-Vibe, but expect extra import and shipping fees if you go that route.
If you still can't find the colors & choices you're looking for, the rest can easily be found on their official site.

Hey friends!
I'm so thrilled I've been given this opportunity to partner with Soul Food Sessions to help promote an exciting event that's coming to Charleston soon: The Table is Set – A Four City Tour Served with a Coke!
For those who are unfamiliar, Soul Food Sessions is an non-profit organization committed to increasing opportunities for minority chefs throughout the food industry, and I truly feel honored to be able to participate in promoting such a meaningful organization and worthy mission. Now Soul Food Sessions (SFS) is taking their mission to increase diversity in the culinary industry on the road, thanks to a partnership with Coca-Cola Consolidated. Luckily for us, the last stop of their pop up restaurant tour is here in beautiful Charleston and there's a seat waiting for you.:)
To learn more about SFS and their extraordinarily talented featured chefs, check out their website here!
Before I get sidetracked (as usual;)), here are the Charleston event deets!
What: The Table is Set – A Four City Tour Served with a Coke!
When: Tuesday, October 16th
Where: The Dewberry Charleston Hotel at 334 Meeting Street Downtown
Tickets: Purchase Tix Here
A major perk of this partnership was getting a sneak peak of the dish that will be presented during the last stop of the tour in Charleston, and let me just tell yall….it did not disappoint! If you're unable to attend the event and enjoy the Charlotte based featured Chef, Greg Collier's expertly prepared creation, don't fret because here's the recipe for his New Orleans Grillades with Green Strawberry Relish to make at home;)
Chef Collier's dish isn't complete without a Classic Coca-Cola, which, in his words, cools down the spice and enhances the earthiness of braised beef, while the acidity from strawberries paired with the refreshing pop from a Coke cleanses the palate after every bite. So don't forget to grab some Classic Coke when you're at your local Harris Teeter shopping for the rest of your ingredients;)
My hubby and I made this dish on a lazy Sunday last weekend, and while the final result looked divine, it smelled and tasted even better. If they could talk, the only complaints in the house would've come from these poor hungry pups who intently supervised our kitchen skills, and didn't even get so much as a measly crumb in return;)
Chef Collier's dish was actually quite easy to prepare. Especially if you have a partner in the kitchen to help out a bit. Michael is actually the one who does most of the 'good' cooking in our house (when I cook it's more like basic survival), so he took the lead on this, while I pretended to be his sous chef. I'm not sure who was least helpful, me or Gracie (the dog).
Prepping the meat. Check out that look of concentration!;)
I wish smell-o-vision was a real thing. The spices in this dish create the most amazing earthy aroma, which was perfect to get in the fall mood.
Making the cornbread waffles, which complemented and balanced the savory aspect of the grillades incredibly well.
My mouth is literally watering right now reminiscing about eating this dish. If you can't make the October 16th event, you should definitely try out Chef Collier's delectable New Orleans Grillades dish at home. It's the perfect meal to warm you up on a crisp fall day;)
A huge thanks to Coca-Cola Consolidated and Sole Food Sessions for sponsoring this post. For those who plan to attend the event, please let me know in the comments!
Bon appetit yall!

May 2017 Commerce Club
By Judith Schultz, GHPB
Anthony C. Chovanec, Senior Vice President-Fundamentals, Enterprise Products Partners L.P., was the featured speaker at the Port Bureau's Commerce Club luncheon at Brady's Landing on May 11, 2017. Chovanec included a slide presentation with his remarks entitled, "Preparing To Export Virtually Everything We Touch".
Chovanec started his presentation with a brief overview of market fundamentals for liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas. Emerging markets, particularly in Asia, are projected to dominate liquid hydrocarbon demand growth through 2040, with demand growth in those markets exceeding the decline in demand from developed nations. At the same time, U.S. gas to crude ratios from unconventional production, namely shale, are globally competitive and enable petrochemical manufacturing.
Using these points as a springboard, Chovanec shared Enterprise activities in the Houston area with attendees, stating, "We are heavily invested in the Houston Ship Channel…It's very strategic, very important to us." He emphasized operations at the "best in class" Houston Ship Channel Terminal, the world's largest ethane export terminal at Morgan's Point, and their Mont Belvieu plant complex. Enterprise purchased 1,729 acres in 2011 in Mont Belvieu for expansion of process plants and brine capacity. "Mont Belvieu is connected to markets by a spaghetti bowl of pipelines," said Chovanec, adding later in his talk that Enterprise is connected to every ethane terminal in the U.S.
Enterprise's natural gas flow patterns historically flowed from south to north. "Now, with so much production," said Chovanec showing a map of their natural gas forecasted flow patterns through 2022, "we had to take the grid and turn it on its head!" It is projected that new capacity will be needed to satisfy future natural gas demand in South Texas.
Concluding his presentation, Chovanec stressed the importance of their terminal facilities at the Houston Ship Channel, Beaumont, Seaway Freeport, and Seaway Texas City. Enterprises' integrated network of midstream energy assets is well positioned to benefit from the expected growth in both the production and demand for crude oil.
The Q&A session focused primarily on LNG production, competition, and market opportunities. Chovanec particularly noted that while shale reserves are available around the world, other nations lack the ready infrastructure of U.S. "No other countries have what we have," he concluded.
Editor's Note: David Grzebinski, President & CEO of Kirby Corporation, will be the guest speaker for the Commerce Club on July 13, 2017. Individual seats and table sponsorships are available. Reserve your seat at www.txgulf.org/commerce-club or by calling (713) 678-4300.
