In this classic guide to touching and intimacy, Adele Kennedy and Dr. Susan Dean PhD show us how to return to the simple pleasures of touch. Adele Kennedy was one of the first sexual surrogates to be trained by the Masters & Johnson Institute. Dr. Susan Dean PhD holds a doctorate in Behavioral Science. The two provide us with powerful instruction for enhancing a loving and sexual relationship through simple touching and erotic massage. This guide offers unique techniques specially created to relax, delight and arouse you and your partner. Learn to transform your instinctive skills into highly effective tools for intimate pleasure.
This book contains everything you need to create a joyous blend of relaxation, intimacy, love and sexual pleasure. A sexual surrogate is a professionally certified member of a sex therapy team, who usually works with a psychiatrist or psychologist, and engages in intimate physical relations with a patient in order to achieve a therapeutic goal. Adele Kennedy uses her unique training to transcend the boundaries of conventional massage, introducing us to the concept of sensate focus on touching as its own reward. Touching for Pleasure presents simple exercises that provide the benefit of traditional massage, but the goal of this book is a deeper understanding of our own bodies and enhanced communication between lovers. There are many people who are uncomfortable with being touched. Many adults never experienced warmth and affection through touching as children or infants. Some people have developed a fear of being touched due to experiencing physical or emotional trauma as an adult or child. Without the connection of touch with others, there can be emotional and physical emptiness. The caress and non-demand pleasuring exercises presented in this guide are basic to developing greater intimacy for lovemaking. There is an emphasis on liking your body, making the most of your good features and trying to see the best possible you. Good self-image is important to achieving sexual satisfaction.
Touching for Pleasure is different from other massage books in its focus on exploring varieties of touch as a source of sensual and sexual excitement. The book begins with instructions for hand, foot and face massage and culminates with a discussion of pleasurable masturbation, oral sex and intercourse techniques. The information is appropriate for people of any sexual persuasion or age group, and for the single as well as the partner
Authors: Adele P. Kennedy and Susan Dean, PhD. Softcover, 119 pages. Published in 1994.

I get the impression that a lot of Guardian readers troll the Mail fora (and vice versa).
Blimey. Maybe there's some hope for this sad island after all.
They've invented the priest's sock?
South African dam, African elephants.
If Indian dams ever break the 600 (African) elephant per second barrier, then we can start to argue.
Especially as this would rate the dam at a magnificent 3654 PPM.
That has just shot to the top of my list of favourite measurements, wiping the floor with the Wales and even beating the Bulgarian Airbag.
Fuck em. We can't put the rights of the general public above those of company executives to line their pockets with people's tax pounds. We'll support this scam and concoct some wacky terrrorism bullshit to cover our backs. Oppose the perv scanners? You must support the terrorists! You must be a terrorist!
True, but that's a risk fixing all bugs. Disclosure doesn't make my bug fixes better or worse and I can't see why that's any different for MS.
Not often I agree with Redmond, but for bugs that have been found internally, just fix them!
I'd rate not being a dick as far more important than the grade(?), subject or even having a degree.
I was speaking purely for myself, though admittedly I should have added pointing and laughing for completeness.
...that earns you Desmond*.
* I don't have a degree at all yet feel educated enough to sneer at Mr Wogu.
Maybe you're used to a Pavlovian dash for your debit card as soon as Apple releases new shiny but you don't have to. The old iPhone is a perfectly capable device (once you slap an oversized rubber band over it).
That's a shame as Graeme Swann is quite entertaining. Anyone know of a spoof Swanny a la TheBig_Sam?
Personally I've no use for this but I can see parents getting their (lucky) kids one to stop them nicking their phones to play Angry Birds.
Now where do I opt out?
Hopefully they've scaled up the battery otherwise it'll flop like nobody's business!
That was my first thought, too. And that's one bit of information I'll happily share with Google!
How wonderfully, if depressingly, succint.
I wonder if they got the idea by reading Omon Ra by Vicotr Pelevin.
Now that is impressive!
In the sense that they're "not racist, but..."
I didn't know that fraud trials without jury were in the sights as well. I've always viewed jury trials as an easy target for the Tories as they can argue it's red tape in the way of getting jsutice done.
So it's a welcome from me, suspended until the fine print has been examined (by someone more clued up than I).
...the head trauma monitor does sound extremely useful (potentially a life-saving app, rather than killer app) but would, as, Dale 3 says, require a decent connection.
When the driver's late for his cuppa more like!
Reading, writing and spelling
Post a proper URL
...ss long as you're careful not to buy Starbucks' vile cups of over-roasted pish.
Only in America would they have a gun sale to raise money for crime victims. I love you all, you crazy bastards!
That is all
Annoying the hell out of your userbase not a good business model? Well I never.
I'm not even that sorry for the poor basts losing their jobs.
There'll be falling over/into things/onto things aplenty going on in and around city centre boozers the length and breadth of the UK. I'm not sure which you'd pick as the 3rd.
For once I don't blame the parents.
Deny everything!
Having just chowed down on a big plate of veg samosas I'm grateful to live in a country with freedom of, er, gas.
First they came for the flatulent...
And there's the real reason he was sacked, for not claiming he was searching for architectural ironmongery.
Via airmail, of course
They all put their fncking phones down and take court cases seriously?
So... when I was down the pub on Saturday I was being a Beer Scientist? Actually with over 20 years research I'd be overqualified in the Essential Oils sector.
While the material and distribution costs are negligible, the authors still have to be paid. Your typical eBook price complaint completely devalues the months of work represented by a good book (or the days of work represented by a Dan Brown novel).
With all that code kncoking around inviting people to "Like" pages on 3rd party sites. Personally I'd rather they allowed me to switch that shite off because I'm never going to use it.
Most of us remember Slammer
That ticks quite a lot of my boxes (can take a knock, small-for-a-smartphone size, call quality, battery life), enough to forgive the less than bleeding edge OS. Certainly more boxes than my Desire.
Hopefully an updated Defy 2 will be available at upgrade time.
It is possible to escape the whole shitepile of celebutard gossip. Honestly.
You don't have to read the red tops. You can watch Channel Four news instead of Channel Five. Then maybe you won't find the need to anonymously post angry messages to the Internet.
I'm still not ready to part with my hard-earned on a tablet but this is the most tempting fondle-slab I've seen so far. And unlike almost every other vendor, Archos have been making this sort of thing for years.
I'm tempted...
Whereas complaining on the Internet is a good use of anyone's time.
Your review focusses more on aesthetics and noise than how they feel when typing. Personally I'm not arsed what the thing looks like, nor whether my colleagues can make phonecalls when I'm typing (frankly if they can't, so much the better). What I am concerned with is can I still use my hands after a marathon of bodging code.

A band aid ? needed for "Mysore"
We rose to having another very casual breakfast in the hotel. Again a very wide choice. Breakfast was somewhat sombre as Australia were trounced by India in the T20 World Cup last night. Being ever respectful, our Indian hosts only spoke about this when we raised the issue.

Overall we had a fantastic trip despite being sick for a bit of it and needing to see a doctor (who was great) and some hiccups at the resort highlighted within the report. But the sun was shining, the attractions were in great shape (including the Labrynth), there was some wonderful streetmousphere. The cast were 1st rate and the crowds were low.
I thought Playhouse Disney Live was excellent (as did the kids) and Stars and Cars was a fantastic addition. MMP was not great (but the dancers were, and it was better than I feared) and the Stitch Show - well as soon as this leaves, I will be very happy.
Cast members were great, but the staggered opening and closing hours of attractions were not. I will be writing a letter about that.
Rock N Rollercoaster, Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom Manor etc. were almost like new! food was good (but the Euro exchange rate is killing us here in the UK)

Zillow has good benefits, inexpensive to include each member of the family. Snacks and drinks provided for you, as well.Cons
The company and culture was presented as a great place to work , with the opportunity to make good money. The truth is it's a glorified call center/telemarketing job. Days are always 10-12 hours, just to hit your minimum requirements. 150 phone calls; encoragement to come in early, stay late and eat lunch at your desk to continue working. The pay will never equal the amount of work you put in. 170% of quota will have you under 100k.
It's very stressful and extremely unprofessional. Very noisy while on the phone. I have been told by customers that it sounds like a circus. And the turnover is outrageous!! Every other week, more empty seats for those who have been fired or simply quit.
I would NOT recommend this position to anyone!!Advice to ManagementAdvice

Management is narcissism on steroids - they made up the kool aid and drank it and shove it down everyone elses throat.

A disagreement between two sisters over a minor relative's care ended with a gunshot and the shooter in jail, while the other was treated and released from the hospital, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
Dorlinda Melissa Gilham, 47, of Bronson, was arrested for aggravated domestic battery on Sept. 1 after deputies went to an East Thrasher Avenue home on a domestic argument call.
Gilham got into an argument with her sister over health care issues for Gilam's grandson, according to the release. Gilam became extremely angered, grabbed a small caliber pistol and shot it hitting her sister in the foot.
Gilam told deputies she had been arguing with her sister for the past two days and aimed in front of her sister, but the bullet ricocheted and struck her sister's foot. The bullet was recovered in the victim's shoe.

Vitamin D(2) from light-exposed edible mushrooms is safe, bioavailable and effectively supports bone growth in rats.
ABSTRACT Widespread poor vitamin D status, a health risk for bone disease, increases the need for new food sources of vitamin D. Light-exposed edible mushrooms synthesize vitamin D(2). Bioavailability, safety, and efficacy of high levels of vitamin D(2) from mushrooms to support bone health was established in chronically fed growing rats. INTRODUCTION: Poor vitamin D status from reduced sun exposure is made worse by limited access to vitamin D-containing foods. Exposing white button mushrooms to ultraviolet B (UVB) light markedly increases their vitamin D(2) content, creating a new food source of vitamin D. We used a growing rat model to determine safety, bioavailability, and efficacy in support of bone growth by vitamin D(2) from UVB-exposed mushrooms. METHODS: We fed 150 weanling female rats one of five diets for 10 weeks, all formulated on AIN-93 G. Control diets contained no mushrooms either with or without vitamin D(3). Other diets contained 2.5% and 5.0% of UVB-exposed or -unexposed mushrooms. Safety of the high levels of vitamin D(2) from mushrooms was assessed by animal growth and by Von Kossa staining for soft tissue calcification. Bioavailability was determined from changes in circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Efficacy in support of bone growth was determined from measures of femur bending properties, size, mineralization, and microarchitecture. RESULTS: Diets containing 2.5% and 5.0% light-exposed mushrooms significantly raised 25(OH)D and suppressed PTH levels compared to control-fed rats or rats fed 5.0% mushroom unexposed to light. Microarchitecture and trabecular mineralization were only modestly higher in the light-treated mushroom-fed rats compared to the controls. Von Kossa staining revealed no soft tissue calcification despite very high plasma 25(OH)D. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D(2) from UVB-exposed mushrooms is bioavailable, safe, and functional in supporting bone growth and mineralization in a growing rat model without evidence of toxicity.

Article: A Nutritionally Meaningful Increase in Vitamin D in Retail Mushrooms is Attainable by Exposure to Sunlight Prior to Consumption[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The vitamin D2 content of white button mushrooms is relatively low. UV exposure produces vitamin D2 by rapid conversion of ergosterol to ergocalciferol. Commercial-scale UV treatment has been used to produce vitamin D-enhanced mushrooms. The reliability of a consumer-friendly protocol to increase vitamin D2 in mushrooms by a nutritionally meaningful amount using exposure to sunlight was evaluated. Sliced white button mushrooms were exposed to sunlight for 15, 30, or 60 minutes in 16 experiments at different times of day, seasons, and cloud cover. Vitamin D2 was measured by HPLC with 3H-vitamin D3 internal standard. Change in vitamin D2 per 70 g serving relative to untreated mushrooms was evaluated. Vitamin D2 in all unexposed mushrooms was <30 IU/70 g (<5%DRI) (median, <7 IU/70 g). Regardless of season, treatment for 15 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. under partly cloudy to clear conditions increased vitamin D2 by157-754 IU/70 g (26-126%DRI), and up to 1142 IU/70 g total increase was observed after 30 min. On overcast and mostly cloudy days the gain was 76-178 IU/70 g (13-30%DRI) after 15 minutes, but after one hour the level was comparable to 15 minutes of treatment in clear conditions. Trials by consumers at four different geographic locations resulted in increases of 367-905 IU/70 g. A preliminary trial showed dramatically elevated vitamin D2 contents in other mushroom types exposed 15 minutes under clear conditions. These results demonstrate that vitamin D2 in mushrooms can be reliably enhanced by at least 25% of the DRI (150 IU; 3.75 μg)/70 g serving by exposure to sunlight for as little as 15 minutes on a clear or partly cloudy day between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and >100% (>600 IU) in many cases. Even under conditions of lower UV intensity similar increases can be achieved after 30-60 minutes.
Article: Bioavailability of vitamin D2 from enriched mushrooms in prediabetic adults: a randomized controlled trial.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives:Based on the growing evidence of risk reduction from fresh fruit and vegetable consumption and an inverse relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), we determined the benefits of regularly consuming vitamin D-enriched mushrooms in a prediabetic cohort. Exposing edible mushrooms to ultraviolet B (UVB) light increases vitamin D2 (D2) and raises serum 25OHD2 in healthy young adults; however, their benefit to deficient prediabetics and glucose metabolism remains untested.Subjects/methods:Forty-three prediabetic, D-deficient adults (25OHD≤20 ng/ml), BMI>25 were randomized to four groups consuming daily entrées containing 100 g fresh sliced cooked mushrooms prepared by a chef for 16 weeks. Two groups were fed UVB-treated mushrooms initially containing: 600 IU D2 or 4000 IU D2; each one also received one capsule of placebo daily. Two control groups were fed untreated mushrooms and D3 dietary supplements at two label doses: 600 IU D3 and 4000 IU D3. D2 and D3 content were analyzed in mushrooms, before and after cooking and in over-the-counter supplements.Results:After 16 weeks, both D2-UVB-mushroom entrée doses, which were significantly lower after cooking, produced modest or no increases in 25OHD2 or total 25OHD relative to the positive control subjects who actually consumed about 1242 and 7320 IU per day of D3 (higher than stated on the label).Conclusions:Unanticipated D2 cooking loss from fresh UVB mushrooms and probable low absorption and/or hydroxylation may explain the smaller increase in 25OHD2 in our prediabetic overweight/obese cohort compared with past findings in younger, healthy subjects. Moreover, no dose or vitamin D source was associated with modifying T2D risk factors.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition advance online publication, 13 August 2014; doi:10.1038/ejcn.2014.157.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition 08/2014; DOI:10.1038/ejcn.2014.157 · 2.95 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The Mushroom Council convened the Mushrooms and Health Summit in Washington, DC, on 9-10 September 2013. The proceedings are synthesized in this article. Although mushrooms have long been regarded as health-promoting foods, research specific to their role in a healthful diet and in health promotion has advanced in the past decade. The earliest mushroom cultivation was documented in China, which remains among the top global mushroom producers, along with the United States, Italy, The Netherlands, and Poland. Although considered a vegetable in dietary advice, mushrooms are fungi, set apart by vitamin B-12 in very low quantity but in the same form found in meat, ergosterol converted with UV light to vitamin D2, and conjugated linoleic acid. Mushrooms are a rare source of ergothioneine as well as selenium, fiber, and several other vitamins and minerals. Some preclinical and clinical studies suggest impacts of mushrooms on cognition, weight management, oral health, and cancer risk. Preliminary evidence suggests that mushrooms may support healthy immune and inflammatory responses through interaction with the gut microbiota, enhancing development of adaptive immunity, and improved immune cell functionality. In addition to imparting direct nutritional and health benefits, analysis of U.S. food intake survey data reveals that mushrooms are associated with higher dietary quality. Also, early sensory research suggests that mushrooms blended with meats and lower sodium dishes are well liked and may help to reduce intakes of red meat and salt without compromising taste. As research progresses on the specific health effects of mushrooms, there is a need for effective communication efforts to leverage mushrooms to improve overall dietary quality.Journal of Nutrition 05/2014; 144(7).

I would do a suburban meetup, too. I have a group on Facebook called "Illinois Corgis".
I would love to do a suburban meet up! I am in Carol Stream. I went to the meet up 2 years ago in Freeport. It was a drive but alot of fun! The one downtown would be nice but its a little far to travel with my 7 month old son. We should make a Chicagoland Suburban Corgi group on facebook! Has anyone done this yet? If not I can make it.
Yes! I would love to attend a suburban corgi picnic :-)!
Hello, I would be interested in a SUBURBAN corgi picnic.
Hi was wondering if anyone from Naperville area was going on Sat. and if possible would like to car pool if someone was driving I'd consider going ..I don't drive into chicago much (chicken) let me know 630-301=8112 thanks Jeanne & Baylee May

Oooooooooooooooooo </hands waving in macabre fashion>
Well, I have never even seen any vulnerable Cobol web applications, have you? There are probably millions of vulnerable PHP applications.
And I'll have none of your crypto-fascist "percentage" nonsense. We only deal in hard FACTS. The kind that use only capital letters. Although, it is true that PHP is more secure than Java by deisgn. Since PHP has 3 capital letters and is symmetrical, although they should probably change it's name to BHB for true symmetrical redundancy.
People also mock Fortran, yet it still rocks and has been updated to include many 'modern' features
Fortran doesn't get updated. Every decade or so a new and totally incompatible language is released and called Fortran.
No everyone thinks it's a good thing to write a entire program in one huge line:
import sys,os,re,fileinput;a=[i[2] for i in os.walk('.') if i[2]] [0];[sys.stdout.write(re.sub('at','op',j)) for j in fileinput.input(a,inplace=1)]
Now, that's what I call maintainable!...cough.
Java has to many funny characters...
One of your o's fell off, which proves your point.
Yes, its difficult to keep up with the suicide rate.
This is pretty obvious as to "why".
Java: mostly written by inexperienced undergraduates and Indians with only a couple months of experience.
Cobol: mostly written by the (relatively speaking) Gods of Computing, in a better age.
So say we all.
Felson's Law: To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

Bangladesh cricket has benefitted a lot through him and no need to talk against him, just because he is there for a long time. More over, his acceptance to all governments makes him more suitable for a higher position in BCB, because, it doesn't help to change all organizers with the change of government.
Off course, if you have any valid concern due to his presence, you might say. But not a sweeping remark, that why he is there during every government. What's your problem man, why should people be changed in BCB, because the government has changed? what's the relation? It still happens, I even oppose that much of linkage with government. There should be no effect on BCB for change of government..
Bangladesh Surely will be in QF of the WC15

Freedom Is Not Yet Freedom
Freedom is not yet freedom,
But a slavery where men are Slaves to civilization.
What good has it brought?
We have freedom that men call, Mortal Rights.
Yet we are slaves to Unions of the World.
I yearn for the days when man Was but a barbarian,
Then there was no falsehood,
Only the drive to survive.
Then man was not clothed with The cloak of global unity
That has hidden holes of mistrust.
Then man could live happy with The breaking of each new dawn,
With his spear in one hand and Meat in another.
Then he respected Nature,
And the world was not foul.
When man didn't desire Freedom,
For he was free.
Free from engines that smoked,
Free from nuclear insects that Swim around earth.
He needed no fellowship with Other mortals,
He needs not spy on their barns Of ammo,
There was no cry of 'Dictator',
Only the sound of a man who Has learnt to exist in peace
With Nature's children.
But the birth of civilization That gave steps to man's Association,
Has made mortals, slaves.
Slaves to them that sit on five Seats,
One that can never be empty in The Union of Nations.
They who veto men's life and Action,
Whose words or decision
Can bless or mar a nation.
Tell me then ye men of lesser States,
Are men not slaves?
For you depend on them for Help,
A Fallout with them is like,
Walking on destruction's Path.
For their freedom is a slavery Of class,
One accepted by all men.
But if freedom be freedom,
Then let us put away Garments of falsehood,
That seeks to control others And enrich self,
Under disguise of unity.
But let us with hands Together,
In a bond of trust,
Work to rid the world of evil,
Work to restore peace to the World,
As it once was.
If freedom preached by the House of nations be true,
Then let them show the World by vivid actions.
Till then I'll say'
Freedom is not freedom.

EDL headquarters in Beirut, Monday, July 29, 2013. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: Electricite du Liban Friday called on security forces to deploy at the state-run firm's headquarters for the safety of its staff after contract workers closed all entrances leading to the building in yet another protest against their employment status.
"[EDL] calls on security forces to take over the central building to preserve the safety of employees and citizens and to ensure the proper functioning of this public sector particularly in terms of stable power rationing for all Lebanese areas," a statement by the electricity company said.
The company said contract workers closed down entrances to the building earlier in the day in a bid to pressure authorities to employ them full-time.
EDL also noted that Parliament had agreed to pay the contract workers some of the due payments until the Finance Ministry drafted a solution that would resolve their case.
"The [EDL] administration will continue working on resolving the case and is still carrying out its duty in this regard within regulations," it said. "Such uncivilized and unacceptable behavior will prevent the institution from carrying out its administrative duties, disrupts people's interests and threatens investments in the institution."
Contract workers have in the past gone on strikes and protested at the EDL headquarters by closing off the entrances and forcing employees to evacuate the building.
