Does Sexual Magic Exist?
Of course it does.
If you consider what we go through, all the emotional obstacles, not to mention time constraints, kids and all those other reasonable sounding excuses – like I don't have the right partner – it's remarkable that we ever let ourselves surrender into the deeply nourishing bliss of ecstasy. We all know there's magic here.
Here's what sexual magic is not.
It's not having sex to get something. It's not using sexual energy to magically produce more money, more sex or a big new house. More …
DAY SIXTEEN ORGASM – Discover Your Erotic Nature
DAY SIXTEEN Orgasm
30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
Ten Days of Spice | With Amara Charles and The Shakti Team
The body naturally knows which orgasm to naturally move into as a way of balancing the body, mind, spirit and heart. Knowing the body and having an educated pussy ( tupuli) and cock ( tipilli) is of high importance to bring more pleasure and fun into our sacred spiritual sexual practice. As we listen to our body, we become master conduits for creating more peace on the planet. When we allow the body to move in a way that comes from a deeper knowing of what we actually desire and yearn for it appears as though the body is much wiser then our own 'planning' can ever really be. When we have a orgasm or two or twenty we actually bring balance to different aspects of our being depending on also what kind of orgasm we experience.
There are many different types of orgasm. Check my book on page 183 in The Sexual practices of Quodoushka chapter 10 – The nine types of orgasmic expression.
"When we use orgasm well, our orgasm can sustain our health and well being. Yet, it is also true we can loose energy by having low-level orgasms." page 201
I felt like the bed was rising and falling. We were so connected I could feel him inside as if he were actually touching my heart with his penis. We would stay like this for a while, rest a few minutes and start all over again. I don't know how long we made love, and I lost count on how many orgasms I had. My belly was still shaking hours later. Leela Age Thirty-one.
This orgasm is a west earthquake orgasm, it originates inside as a rolling feeling inside the womb. Like the rumbling of an earthquake starting with milder sensations, it builds gradually in strength until it implodes inside with great force. These deeply satisfying orgasms induce swells of gratitude and profound intimacy. Page 196 in The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka.
To discover more about your erotic nature and learn about all the different male and female orgasm types. You can read more about this in my book The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka and find it in my online shop amaracharles.com
Wishing you all more high level orgasms and natural ways of restoring, relaxing and replenishing the body…

DAY FIFTEEN 30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
Ten Days of Spice | With Amara Charles and The Shakti Team
DAY FIFTEEN The Unknown
Can we find pleasure in the unknown? I wonder…
We schedule life, plan, dream and imagine. And somewhere in the mist of all this we seem to want to hang on for dear life that things need to be a certain way.
When can we approach life in the most delicate discovery?
We have our agreements with ourself first and foremost and then we have agreements with lovers, partners, colleges etc and hopefully by now we all have gotten to a mature place that we can talk about love, sex and intimacy in a way that empowers us. If you are knew to all this check out my book Sexual Agreements.
What happens when we take things for granted, assume and live in fantasy?
What happens when our dear lover decides to change a current agreement?
Life is magical and continuously evolving and changing. One dear friend of mine said:
"When you are on the edge of the unknown, that is a good place to be, cause you are evolving." – John Kent
Do we enable ourself from learning and growing? Can we embrace the wind of change while it is here – with an open heart? Or do we run a certain pattern of holding back, shutting down and do we choose a less serving attitude and approcah? When we can mature as autonomous free human beings and take responsibility for everything we have currently chosen to show up in our life, a deeper relaxation can acure and when change presents itself, we can stay more open minded. I believe that everything that comes our way is in our highest good.
Now…how do we get to that place and how can we navigate life from a state of pleasure within the unknown? Having perspective is a great way to begin. When we can't figure something out and things in life aren't presenting them the way we want them to be, forcing, pushing and rushing is not the way nature naturally encourages anything. When we are in our naturalness, relaxed, connected and loving. Life can then unfold in it's natural way of beauty.

DAY FOURTEEN – 30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
Ten Days of Spice | With Amara Charles and The Shakti Team
DAY FOURTEEN Sex
Feeding our own personal sexual hungers can be a huge gateway to deeper joy, relaxation, and pleasure. – For real.
Not the kind of sexual hunger that is kind of what you desire but the the kind that fully replenishes your soul and meets your deepest longing.
How do we know that we are feeding our own personal sexual hungers? In my personal experience approaching life, love, intimacy, relations comes from a deep self love and fully embracing our life force energy. I would like to inspire each and everyone of you to really be real with your self first and foremost. Connect with what you desire. Explore with yourself. Feeding your life force energy could be having a bath, going for a hike or having a really deep intimate conversation.
LIFE can be a TURN ON several moments throughout our day. Quodoushka is life force energy and is not something that comes and goes. It is here all the time.
Having our desire met can only come from knowing ourself and getting to know ourself. Sometimes we can go years and not know what we what. So how can we begin to move the energy and find out what it is that we really desire? If we are stuck in pattern and nothing is happening and no actions are taken, then slowly we may feel uninspired and sexually unsatisfied. Sometimes moving into an adventure is better then putting the lid on the curious place inside. It is a delicate subject, of this I am aware and there are fine lines to be aware of. What works for you, only you can know.
How about approaching life from an adventurous and explorative place…When we can open our heart with curiosity to find out what we desire we begin to move the energy and the curiosity is now building a relationship with knowledge and experience. Communication could be an excellent is key here. Perhaps you have an intimate partner and would like to try something new and different? Or perhaps you could invite one into your life today? Express your longing and ask them to support you as you embrace your life force energy. Follow the pleasure in your life and your highest excitement. In my book The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka I share about spiritual sexuality and how incredible fulfilling it is when we approach sex from the nagual tradition. This upcoming May we will have a Quodoushka 1 workshop in Phoenix for all of you ready to begin embracing your own life force energy in such a sacred beautiful way. We would so love to have you join us. Read about the Male and Female genital anatomy types in my book and get to know your own… and get to know your lovers anatomy type. Not only does it serve us in becoming even better lovers, it also opens new doors of understanding for our unique differences and the beauty we bring into the world.

DAY TWELVE – 30 Day Inspiration – Discover Your Erotic Nature
30 Day Inspiration ~ Discover Your Erotic Nature
Ten Days of Spice | With Amara Charles and The Shakti Team
DAY TWELVE Touch
A warm, soft body waits for you. You notice a smile and a shiver when you enter the room. It's closeness that melts through anything, dissolves distractions and grabs you near. Sex is an invitation to experience beauty. Intimacy is the knock on the door and the lounging around after. Conversation, listening, loving whatever makes your lover happy- these are the things I love about intimacy. But intimacy is also rugged: it makes you ignore distance, oceans and time. It pulls you close even when you want to pull back. Intimacy is so sexy because it makes you want to touch those special places.
Keep in mind these three things when touching especially erotic places.
1. Delicacy.
2. Tease.
3. Deep Satisfaction.
Our most erotic places on the body yearn to be wanted. Yet they only open for touch when we tap gently on the door first. With permission, these places love to be surprised and have been known to moan for more. This is when touch goes straight to the soul, for there is nothing better in life than to be touched by someone we love.

What's the Purpose? ~ Angela Yan
Dharma Healing Retreat with Master Angela Yan
Our new year was blessed with Master Angela Yan's ten day visit to our home. The profound Dharma stories that come rolling through her day and night slip in and out of my mind like heat from the fire and the taste of good things. Days begin with bowing and chanting followed by eggs, porridge, toast, jam, butter, coffee, and lots of unknown fermented veggies. Along with non-stop conversations like this:
If you do not have time to do nothing, you are not wealthy at all. Take the time to enjoy your life. That is wealth' she'd say.
One day Angela decides she would like to get a massage, another day go to the spa, and then she mentions she'd like to do a workshop.
So a few days later she did. As people enter our house, Angela sits by the fire, makes tea and begins: There are thousands of techniques. But this is not what matters. Everybody can do this technique, that technique. What is the purpose? What's the real purpose of what you're doing?
One couple comes over for a Qigong healing session and they're anxious to go into the healing room to get started. But Angela has tea first, and seems to talk about many unrelated things for over an hour. What they don't realize is that there's nothing to start, it's all part of the healing. How you relax, how you talk, how you move, what you say and what you don't, it's all part of the healing. I watch her opening people, finding her way in. Some people get this and others do not. Neither concerns Angela, both are the same.
A good teacher, she says takes out darkness. A good teacher can see you. Finds your darkest parts and maybe stirs them up. It's not somebody who says how wonderful you are, how good you are, how great you are. No. A good teacher leads you only in the right direction.
Everyone wants to make you into a doctor, a wife, a lawyer or something you are not. they want you to become something. But who are you without these things? A good teacher is not someone who wants you to memorize and remember and repeat back what you hear them say. A good teacher removes what is not needed to point you in the right direction. What's the right direction? You. Your wisdom. Your natural self. she says.
But people are deluded. They do not know what they do not know. A good teacher shows you how to live.
So many people want to be healers, she says, but if you do not know how to swim, how do you teach people to do that? Stand outside the water and tell them? First you better learn how to swim. Cook up your wisdom.
How do you do that? Chant. Chanting is not a human language. It cannot be explained in human language. You better just do it. Find out out what it can do. Then maybe you will gain some wisdom. Be more humble. Respect. The more of this you have, the more you will get. ok? A good teacher does nothing for himself, it's for you. All of it, everything is for you. A real teacher always has people behind. She has a lineage. This is very important, who stands behind you. You must pay attention to.
Be more humble, she says to me many times over the days of our retreat. 'pay attention. don't talk too much. '
Ok. I better just do it.

Announcing a New Workshop with Amara Charles and Steven Barnes
The IDEA of increasing your prowess (sexiness in motion) is a matter of learning to become an instinctively healthy, sexy human animal. When your body, mind and heart are all singing the same song, intuitive action becomes the rule of your life.

Cost: $99
NEW DATE: MARCH 8. NE Phoenix (Address Provided upon Registration)
Steven Barnes:
the "Secret Formula"
is a luck magnet. I'm telling you,
when you have clear goals, believe
you can and should do it, are taking
constant action (and of course
noticing your results and making
micro-adjustments, while committing
to constant improvement) and
living every day with an "attitude
of gratitude" you attract allies like
crazy. And most strangely, "luck"
multiplies. Opportunities come to
you with the predictability of American
Express and Visa offers arriving in
the mail if you raise your credit score.
When you don't need money, people
offer you credit. When you don't
have a job, you can't get a job, but
as soon as you have one other
people offer employment. When
you don't have a relationship you
can't get one, but as soon as you
have one people mysteriously start
showing interest.
1 Day Workshop with Amara Charles & Steven Barnes
But really, this will not be a mere discussion of concepts to stir your passion… each IDEA is a body experience designed to help you experience the instinctive design of your erotic intelligence.The idea of course is to increase your body intelligence so you can draw on your intuition any time you need it.

Love Your Daddy (part one)
I just finished a four-day, second-level, sacred
sexuality workshop called Quodoushka. While the first one
focuses on the self, this one focuses on relationship.
There are a lot of teachings
and exercises, some are talk-oriented, most are hands-on.
Agreements and boundaries are an important part of the
experience. I had a truly amazing time: the people in this
group were bright souls, with really good energy; I had
really good energetic exchanges and connections.
I got a lot of really
positive feedback about my presence, that I had a strong
impact on the group, that I "healed hearts, even
without directly interacting," and that I helped some
folks work through some tough things. I in turn experienced
healing and a lot of clearing of old energy that no longer
served me. I felt much cleaner and brighter
Returning home, I noticed I
was very tender upon seeing Susan and Rumi. I felt bursting
with feeling, without ever being able to name any particular
emotion. I just felt feelings, and it left me weepy at
And then I felt the old
patterns creeping in. It didn't take long—only a few
hours—before I was shutting down in the same ways as
before. Now, I had been thinking it was because Susan has a
strong masculine side that puts her in competition with me,
and that causes friction. And I had been thinking I was
going to need to be more masculine, to provide the safety of
a "masculine container," so that she could
"let go" into her femininity. While that may be
true, I think the there's more to it.
Later that night we were
feeling a little shut down. Lying in bed it was the same old
energy: flat. I was thinking "we should have sex,"
but her energy did not tell me she was open. Then, she said
"I think we should have sex." Ha! Well….
The interaction was slow and
deliberate. I was really open, energetically, and could
sense a lot more than I ever could before. I noticed that
her heart chakra felt exquisite, just sweet and wonderful.
That surprised me, based on how I had been feeling with her.
Then I got to her third eye.
I was immediately and
strongly repulsed. It was shocking how More …

There is nothing pornographic about this video. It is dedicated intended to educate and empower women. Yes, it astonishes me that showing a man being shoved in front of a train is okay to view, but a beautiful portrayal of women's breasts on video is fine. (sculptures are okay).

Reviews for 'The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka' are Coming In
Thank You Richard!
"Amara Charles is the perfect writer to put on paper, in clearly written and illustrated form, the beautiful body of information found in the practices of what is called "Quodoushka". Having been an active participant in the ceremonies and teachings of these workshops for the past 30 years, I can speak with some authority.
Amara's book has achieved what we have been waiting for — a concise statement in prose that captures the poetic magick of what is learned and experienced with master teachers during the layered series of Quodoushka sessions . Human sexuality is both very simple and most complex.
In the book, Amara's skillful use of language clarifies the sexual/spiritual circuity of women and men with deep insight and, thankfully, much delight." Richard Beck Peacock More …

I agree Sam is a great manager. He did wonders at Bolton and maybe he can turn an underachieving club like Newcastle around. Lets face it teams go to St James' and expect 3 points nowadays. The Geordies could do a lot worse than hire Big Sam.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Lypazyme was developed by Dr. Devin Houston, PhD enzyme biochemist.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This can be great for people who aren't making enough enzymes to digest fats. Especially for those who are new to a low-carb, high fat eating regime. My daughter used it briefly when fats were giving her a problem - she is a very sensitive child and the pure formulation went down well with her - no reactions. Recommended.
Great product. First time in years I am actually digesting my food properly.

Colorado Town Proposes Drone-Hunting License
Deer Trail, home to about 500 residents, has proposed an ordinance to shoot down drones—even offering a bounty. Who cares if no one in town has spotted a drone yet?
Suspicious about drones? One small town in Colorado is so wary that it is considering allowing—encouraging, even—residents to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles.
Disregarding that this would lead to the destruction of federal property, Philip Steel, a member of Deer Trail's town board, has proposed an ordinance to create drone-hunting licenses and offer bounties to citizens.
The FBI has admitted to employing aerial surveillance drones in the U.S., using them in hostage and barricade situations because they're less visible and quieter than aircraft such as helicopters. Deer Trail residents aren't the only ones concerned; Texas, for example, recently passed a bill that banned the private use of surveillance drones, making the offense a misdemeanor punishable with a $500 fine.
For Deer Trail, the local ordinance, up for a vote Aug. 6, serves more as a symbolic gesture. Steel admits he's never seen a drone flying over the town, which has a population of about 500. Local reaction to the proposal seems favorable, according to local television station KMGH-TV—largely because residents are hoping the novelty of drone-hunting could bring the town a new source of revenue.
As for that bounty, the town doesn't expect it'll ever have to pony up.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
The U. S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Agway, Inc.'s feed mill, located at Northeastern Industrial Park, Guilderland Center, New York, and proposed penalties of $39,250 against the corporation, for two alleged repeat, two alleged serious, and five alleged other-than-serious violations of OSHA standards. The company has until May 11 to contest the citations.
According to John Tomich, OSHA area director, the action results from an investigation of the mill conducted from February 19 through April 13, following an accident. On February 19, an employee's glove got caught in an unguarded rotating auger and took the employee's arm off above the elbow.
The employer was cited or not properly guarding machinery to protect employees from the hazards associated with rotating machinery parts and nip joints, and not removing accumulations of grain dust on machinery, two alleged repeat violations carrying a total proposed penalty of $35,000. The company had previously been cited on April 2, 1997, at the same location for the same alleged serious violations.
OSHA also cited the firm for not developing and implementing all required lockout/tagout procedures for machinery, and for not using locks when lockout/tagout is required, two alleged serious violations carrying a total proposed penalty of $4,250.
In addition, the company was cited for the following alleged other-than-serious violations:
not having stair railings.
not providing emergency lighting.
not providing required safety glasses for employees.
not giving fire extinguisher training to employees.
not scheduling preventive maintenance for machinery.
A repeat violation is one for which an employer has previously been cited for the same or for a substantially similar violation, and which has become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. A serious violation is defined as a condition which exists where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result. An other-than-serious violation is a hazardous condition that would probably not cause death or serious physical harm, but would have a direct and immediate relationship to the safety and heath of employees.
The investigation was conducted by OSHA's Albany area office, located at 401 New Karner Road, Suite 300, Albany, N. Y. Telephone: (518) 464-6742.

"Dear Suzanne,
Thank you for being my coach, you've completely changed my love life!
After years of failed relationships in my 30's and 40's, I was truly beginning to think that I was just destined to spend the rest of my life alone. A couple of years ago I turned 50 and my mother passed away.
That was a reality check for me, because I realized that I didn't want to die alone (I know that sounds so morbid, but it's the truth!).
I felt like there was no hope for me to get into a loving relationship with the right man. Almost every man dated, either wasn't serious about having a long term relationship, or worse they all just wanted to date younger women.
I tried all the dating advice from countless experts and read dating self-help books, but nothing was working and I didn't know why.
And then that's when I met you. You truly listened to me and you cared. You showed me that there is hope and that it wasn't too late for me to meet the right man and get into long term relationship, but that I just needed the personal guidance to help me through the process.
Now, I realize why all the advice from all the other experts didn't work for me. You helped me uncover my past relationship patterns which were actually preventing me from getting into a relationship, even though I kept saying that I wanted one!
I can't thank you enough. You completely changed my life and how I dated in a positive way. I'm so happy to share with you that I am now in the most amazing long term relationship with Devin.
He treats me like no other man has. He's my best friend and I can talk to him for hours. When we're with each other, I don't even notice the time pass or other people around. He supports me through everything and is always there for me, even when bad things happen. He tells me all the time how much he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
I honestly feel like the luckiest woman in the world because I never thought I would find love like this in my 50's!
And the best part of our relationship is, Devin talks about growing old together and being there for each other until the end…and so now, I truly know I won't be alone the rest of my life!
Thank you Suzanne, I now know I would have never met Devin, if it wasn't for working with you."

"I came to Suzanne at a time in my life when I didn't know where I was going. I felt lost, frustrated and so sad that I couldn't figure out what was going on inside me. I knew I needed some sort of help but never knew exactly what kind.
When I say help – I mean help in the matters of "Love". Here I was thinking "Love" would be so easy to have, find and keep in life. But I struggled and came to a point in my life where I needed to do something about it. I had to change the way I was in love to have love in my life. I was in a 4 year relationship with no future ahead of us and I didn't know how to get out of it. I was so scared. I was miserable for years and still stayed.
The first and best thing I did was reach out to Suzanne. I wasn't sure how or what she would do to help me after all I saw two therapists before her; each for a year and neither one of them came to helping me one bit. Suzanne opened my eyes and realized what I was doing to attract all the wrong men in my life.
She realized exactly what was blocking me and why. She came to the root cause of the problem. She identified why I was doing certain things, she recognized what in my past made me create certain beliefs and she knew exactly what to do to help me in unblocking my limiting beliefs.
But most importantly she made me believe in myself again and realize that I do deserve unconditional love.
The next few months of working with Suzanne were a breakthrough for me.
The assignments she provided made me think and go deep down into my soul and search for answers. You think you know how to answer them but it's different when you actually work on them. Makes you realize how many inner blocks you have and the best part about it is, working thru those blocks with Suzanne who knows exactly the right questions to ask and interpret them.
Suzanne has a talent for knowing how to take your inner blocks, break them and instill confidence and belief inside you so you become empowered and confident about finding your true love.
If you are reading this and have doubts whether you should work with Suzanne or not I strongly encourage you to do so. It will benefit you in ways you can't even imagine now. But for that you will become stronger, more confident and know exactly what it is you are looking for and want in your life. And that is a beautiful gift you can give yourself.
Suzanne – Thank you so much for making me feel alive again!"

"I would go out on dates and have had several long term relationships, but none have resulted in marriage. My friends & family couldn't figure out why, as I they would always tell me, 'but you're such a catch, any man would be lucky to have you'. Of course, that really didn't make me feel better.
I really started to feel like in my 40's that I really was going to be alone for the rest of my life. And while I wasn't devastated by any means (because I have a great job, am financially secure and am generally happy)…I still felt like there was something missing in my life. I knew I would be "OK" without a man, but I knew deep down, that I didn't want to grow old alone!
I decided to join Suzanne's coaching program and to my surprise, it completely transformed my dating life and my relationships with men. I learned so much about men and why I couldn't keep a man.
I followed all of her advice, and I am so happy to say, that I am no longer single and I just turned 50 this year! I have finally found a man that treats me the way I knew I deserved to be treated. He is always there for me, and he talks about our future together and us getting married. Who knew I would find true love at 50??"

"Best of greetings from far and abroad Suzanne, My name is Alexander from Norway but living in Denmark.
I just want to let you know it was so liberating to see and hear your interaction with Arica in one of your YouTube videos.
Liberating because you both pinpointed many issues where women need to take more responsibility in the interaction with men – instead of complaining as well as most of the time demand what they want from a man – instead of start giving. Isn't the simplest definition of love "to give", so if you want love take some initiative to give some love 😉
All of your mentioned issues go on over here in the Scandinavian countries as well. And having traveled around the world, including the US, here in Denmark, your mentioned issues are even worse – yes worse. You should come here some day – you will be able to see for yourself, as well as create some wealth on the matter.
You are making a wake-up call to all of your fellow sisters and I believe we men also have a lot to learn from you and your findings.
Again, nice to experience you understand the dilemma's flourishing around and you not only think that it is the guys cockhead doing all the screw-ups in regards to dating.
Please, keep up the great work.
kind regards
~ Alexander, 49
"Thank you Suzanne for the insights into how men think and how they act when they are genuinely interested in a woman – and how we can expect to be treated in a relationship with a man who genuinely has our best interests at heart.
Through our work together you helped me to see the patterns that have played out in my relationships with males since early childhood and helped me to move into my wonderful new relationship with a different mindset.
The Secrets About Men video series gave me a new insight into the male psyche, which is of course considerably different to that of women. I just had never realised quite how different. Hearing about this firsthand from the male presenters on the series was a real eye-opener.
Once this knowledge was understood and assimilate, it was so much easier for me to move quickly into a wonderful new loving and respectful relationship of equals in a life partnership. Each of us is able to "hold our own" and love unconditionally."

"I've just started my date coaching sessions with Suzanne and I don't think there are words enough to describe how impressed I am with her services. She's one of the kindest and most understanding people I've ever met. I feel not only that her advice is so on the mark, but she really cares about her clients. I'm looking forward to continue working with her and would absolutely recommend her agency to anyone who really wants someone they can count on."

"It's been an amazing experience! I have spent years navigating the online dating community and came up empty. Working with Suzanne was so easy and effortless, she knew exactly what I was looking for and matched me perfectly the first time! I've been dating Roger for 8 months and I am going this holiday season to meet his brother and his family in Oregon…thank you!"
~ Melissa, 37

"I was so tired of doing online dating. The only men that I was meeting were men that I wouldn't even consider being in a relationship with. And when I would meet a man that I would hit it off with, he would disappear into thin air after a few weeks.
I was just about to give up on dating all together, because I figured I was fine on my own. And that's when I came across Suzanne's site.
I decided to give it one last shot and signed up for her one-on-one coaching program. And I'm sooooooo glad I did!
After working with Suzanne, I discovered exactly why I wasn't meeting the right men, not to mention why men were disappearing on me. I was doing EVERYTHING wrong. I did everything Suzanne told me to, and I am proud to FINALLY say, I am in long term relationship with an amazing man! James is everything I've always wanted in a man and a relationship."

"l found the Secret Tips quite illuminating and very useful. Thank you very much for your help. I am very grateful. I believe all are very logical and true. It is "On Point", as we say in this part of the world.
Kudos to you. God will surely bless you as you are enlightening single ladies and helping them to have successful relationships."

"I did try one of your tips today on my way to work. Well, actually three, and I was amazed at the difference. I live in a small town in Kansas, and for exercise, I sometimes walk 3.5 miles to work…I usually put my work cloths in my backpack and wear comfy clothes to walk to work in. I also put my make-up bag in my backpack so that I can put it on at work and look "fresh".
Well, after watching the video of your dating tips with Abiola, I decided to wear a white t-shirt that fits me very well and is not over sized (bright colored clothing makes you stand out more). I also put on some make up before I left my apt…"you never know who you're going to meet, and you will never get that first impression back."
Then finally, I decided to try to practice being more approachable while on my walk to work.
Well, I'm sure I don't have to tell you that it worked. I met men (and they were actually all men I ran into, which was convenient while walking and met them with eye contact and a smile.
To my surprise, they said "good morning" and one even commented on the warm weather. I also looked at the drivers of on coming traffic and smiled. I had men waving at me.
I could not believe it, it made me laugh out loud. Not overly friendly waves, but acknowledged me.
These are all first. So I am really looking forward to listening to more of your podcasts and learning more."
~ Single Gal, Kansas
"Hi Suzanne,
I really enjoyed your e-book. I do wear lots of color and I do know for a fact that men do love the color red.
As for being more approachable, that is where I get scared. I will be trying it out more and more though and I will keep you posted.
I just went through the breakup of an agonizing/thrilling relationship. I rushed into it and boy was that a mistake. I'm learning much from Joe and you.
I really love your kind demeanor. I have heard quite a few dating "experts" but I surely don't connect with all of them. I learned about you because of Joe Amoia, who I absolutely love. I can see why you work together. You each have such kind and sincere ways about you.
I like your style. And, it's so nice to know that you answer your own e-mails.
Thank you for the work you are doing."
~ Ruth, 46
"I have to be honest, if I could hug you and all the extraordinary speakers right now, I would!
Thank you for organizing such an informative and fun event; totally walked out of there a different person with a different and positive outlook on life. I got some really great dating tips.
If in the future you plan any similar events, I would love to come, perhaps even bring a friend. Once again, thank you! I'm forever grateful : )"

"SINGLE IN STILETTOS – It Changed My Life!
I love Single in Stilettos!
I have felt shy, quiet & awkward with men most of my life. Meeting men has not been easy for me – especially since I cannot tell whether or not someone is interested in me.
From Single in Stilettos, I came away with some great dating tips for women. I learned how to be more open & playful with men. From Marni Kinrys, I learned how to convey to men what I want & desire and then delight in letting them surprise me…..
From Tracey Steinberg, I learned how to be lighter & more relaxed being myself with men.
From Yolanda Shoshana, I learned that it is possible to move beyond the bedroom to bring passion & seduction into every dimension of our life. And, that it is possible to be sensuous & sexy at any age.
From Thomas Edwards, I learned how to read the body language of a wonderful man I've known 5 years (who is 22 years younger than me) who has asked me out on a date for this evening.
My Thanks to ALL of YOU for opening me up to the possibilities of being fully loving."
~ Devorah, 58
"It was amazing to hear from all of the best dating experts in one day! We enjoyed being able to chat with them one on one and learn dating tips on how to be successful while dating in the city! And we made so many great new friends! Can't wait for the next event."
~ Stephanie, 25
"Great team of knowledgeable experts who gave great dating tips for women!
I learned so much from the speakers in terms of branding my own self on the dating world and about having fun on dates.
The Man Panel allowed me to notice mistakes I've done in the past and about moving forward with a new outlook on meeting men. It was so much fun.
Every single girl needs in on this! You are truly missing out if you are single and not getting this advice.
Thank you Suzanne Oshima, Single In Stilettos you rock!!"
~ Teresa, 30
"I really enjoyed Single in Stilettos. You had wonderful speakers that were "in the know" because they were knowledgeable and entertaining.
I recognized quite a few things that I have done/said on dates that were definitely not alluring.
After all of the great dating advice for women, hopefully I won't need to come to the next conference. (-; Thank you."
~ Laurie, 49
"Hi Suzanne,
Remember I emailed you about trying out some of your tips while walking to work. Well, I still make all your dating tips that I have learned, a part of my daily routine. Things are becoming more natural….like trying to be more approachable.
Anyway, I was really wanting to share with you, another success story. I went out to have a drink with one of my girlfriends last night. Sadly to say it was the first time I had been out to have a drink in quite some time. However, that being said, I had the absolute best time. I wore a nice yellow top with kind of a peacock feather design on the top, and some cute shorts, my hair was straightened and down, and I had my make up on, of course. Not real dressy, but nice and casual.
Well, as soon as I got there I noticed a HUGE difference in how my evenings usually go. First off I got in to the bar with out being ID'd, AND I got a free wrist band. I NEVER get in free anywhere.
Then we went to the bar to get a drink, and while we were waiting my friend saw some people she knew and started visiting. The man next to me at the bar started talking to me, said something witty and introduced himself to me. Then another man on the other side of me started to talk to me. One of them bought my drink. THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!! I had my drinks bought for me ALL night. It was great.
I got tons of compliments on my hair, and one man even touch it, I couldn't believe it. I even ended up with a phone number. So needless to say it was a good night.
Thank you so much for your tips. I am not really looking for a relationship right now, but just kind of getting comfortable in my own skin, sort to speak. But this great experience will really help boost my confidence, and "practicing" your tips will help make everything more natural. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, and did I mention, that I am 34 and this is a college town, and all this happened with me being the oldest gal at the bar last night. LOL! I loved it!!!"

Dendreon Corp., the Seattle-based maker of a prostate cancer drug, will undertake a $150 million restructuring over the next year, but the company's Seal Beach facility will remain open, the company said Monday.
The company's plant in Morris Plains, N.J., however, will close. Although most of the 600 workers and contractors that will be will be laid off will be in New Jersey, Dendreon spokeswoman April Falcone said some administrative staff could be cut at the company's other facilities including Seal Beach. She did not know how many.
"This restructuring sets a new course forward for Dendreon, accelerating our path to profitability and future growth," said John H. Johnson, Dendreon chief executive officer.
Dendreon's goal is to lower the cost of goods sold to less than 50% of net product revenue once the New Jersey plant is closed. Production will continue at the two remaining plants in Seal Beach and Union City, Ga. The company expects to be cash flow positive when net product revenue reaches $100 million a quarter.
It has been a difficult couple of years for Dendreon. The company's drug Provenge, which treats advanced prostate cancer was widely anticipated when the Food and Drug Administration approved it in 2010. The new treatment uses a person's immune system to attack the cancer cells.
But the company sales proved slower than projected, in part because of the high cost of the treatment and doctors' concerns about reimbursement. Three infusions of Provenge over four to six weeks cost $93,000.
After planning in 2010 to hire "several hundred" workers at its new Seal Beach facility, Dendreon announced a restructuring instead that included the elimination of 70 jobs in Orange County last September.
Monday's restructuring announcement came as the company released earnings showing a net loss of $96.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, compared to a loss of $117 million in the same period last year. This year's loss included $5.2 million in cash and non-cash severance expenses.
Net product revenue was $80 million for the quarter compared to $48.1 million a year ago.
Dendreon's stock price has been on a roller coaster ride. After the FDA approved Provenge April 29, 2010, shares soared as high as $55.43. The stock began to pull back afterwards, but plunged $24.15 a share to $11.69 on Aug. 4 last year after the company announced that sales fell short of projections.
The restructuring announcement was made after the market closed Monday, however, investors punished the stock Tuesday. Shares closed down $1.42 to $4.76.
*Updated July 31 to include comments from Dendreon spokeswoman April Falcone and Tuesday's closing stock price.

Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
In 2004, a call for help went out from an animal shelter in Cleveland, Ohio.
One person who answered the call is now the founder and Executive Director of Purrfect Companions Sanctuary. The owner of the previous shelter had taken in a very large number of cats from 2 separate hoarder homes in another county.
The cats had come from deplorable conditions and needed to be vaccinated, spayed or neutered. Some had been put in windowless rooms with only artificial light by day or in cages in a warehouse, sometimes two to a cage. They remained this way for well over a year.
When in 2006 the owner of that original shelter announced that her shelter would be closing and the city would take the cats, most likely to euthanize them, our founder and director rolled up her sleeves and went to work. A facility to comfortably house the cats was purchased which accommodated the needs of all the animals. In 2007 the cats moved into their new quarters at Purr-fect Companions Sanctuary.
Today a few of these same cats live with their many new friends who are also in need of their own "forever homes". Either they live at the 'home' shelter which was designed for their comfort or they are fostered by very generous families who open their doors for these cats.
They are friendly, litter box trained, socialized and ready to move into your lap! They are ready to live the life they were always meant to live.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Area 51. The Warren Commission. Watergate. Bush v. Gore. Ben Affleck's Academy Award. All lead to only one conclusion: The lawsuits against S&P are a vast government conspiracy designed to take down the occasionally inaccurate—but not in a legally-actionable way, it assures—ratings agency by covering up something that does not need to be covered up.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said the Justice Department failed to tell a federal judge the "true" reason the U.S. government is supporting 17 state attorneys general in their lawsuits against the rating firm.
In an eight-page filing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, the McGraw-Hill Cos. unit complained that Justice Department officials failed to tell the same judge in a filing last week that they have "actively collaborated with" the 17 states and are doing so "to this day…."
"The Department of Justice, as it should have advised this court, is no stranger to these proceedings, weighing in on some abstract issue of law," S&P said in the filing. "It is a publicly declared ally of and collaborator with the State of Connecticut in every respect with regard to this case and it owed it to the court to say so."

Hello, I'm cto10121! Please, people, hold your applause (ah, sarcasm...what would we do without it?). How different I am in writing than in real life! Which confirms that writing is my calling!
I was born on January 21, 1994, my life is basically normal (except for the fact that my big brother makes life almost unbearable for me), I make good grade, and I am proud to say that I am a nerd *bows*. Yes, I am a nerd who loves to read and write and listen to old music which no one born in this generation would ever listen to. I am thirteen years old, going on fourteen, and very mature for my age, if I do say so myself.
Now, fanfics. I absolutely love writing and Harry Potter. So I thought, why not combine the two and write a fanfiction story? I registered and here I am!
My favorite fics are romance and humor fics. For romance, I love James/Lily fics and I support Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. As for Draco/Hermione, I've read a fic of that category that I really liked. It is called "Delightful Pain" by Queen of Serpents. So, I don't know what to make of Draco/Hermione.
YES!!! My fic got validated...I'm so happy *sobs in an overly dramatic way*. For the two who reviewed my story-hugs and kisses! Anyone who has read my story and has not reviewed, I strongly encourage you to do so!!
Also, I am writing two one-shots. They are done on paper, but only one is on the computer, so I pretty much got my hands full at the moment. But don't worry, I'm working on the next chapter of "Reminiscence"! My story is also on www.fanfiction.net if anyone wants to see!
As of 6/2/07: YES!!!! I've completed the next chapter of "Reminiscence!" Now all I need to do is type it on the computer (sorry, I'm old-fashioned; I actually write the story on paper first then type it). This chapter shouldbe more interesting and exciting than the first (or at least interesting) and reviews are, as always, strongly encouraged! I will type it up in two, maybe three or four days. It's not that I'm a slow typer, it's just that I have my hands full on my songfic (I'm in the process of typing it up, you see).
As of 6/9/07: I've submitted my second chapter to "Reminiscence"! Now, all I have to do is wait for it to get validated *drums fingers on table impatiently*.
As of 7/5/07: Hi everyone. You may wonder what has happened to my story "Reminiscence". Well, it was DELETED *gaps dramatically*. Yes, it got deleted for some formatting error, I think...I don't remember much. I was too clouded by my tears of sadness (okay, I'm milking it in a bit, but still!). I've tried, my dad knows I've tried, but they didn't validate it! Not to worry though, for I have acquired a beta reader to revise my story and I myself have made a few changes (hopefully not noticeable). Right now, I've decided to take small steps. That dosen't mean that I'm giving up on "Reminiscence", however. I'll try my best to get it validated, make no mistake.

Confessions Of Lumpy Poo by Soupdragon
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 41]
Lily's thoughts are a sacred place. People think that head of hers stores valuable information for he next Potions assignment but those people are so wrong. In fact her head is filled with rather rude and amusing thoughts but she's strong as steel and keeps that in her instead of out.
But the arrival of a Veela causes her blood to boil and her thoughts to rapidly twist and churn in anger and all. Not only is ths Veela pretty, and french, she's also flirtacious. A dangerous mix. So what's this got to do with anything? Well, for one she's been messing around with a ton of boys making many girls so annoyed including our Lily here. Her thoughts start to leak which equals an hour of witty comments and laughing fits. This causes many heads to turn. Including one of those with messy hair.

after 3 canon's point an shoot cameras I didn't like that thing at all, couldn't wait to sell on ebay. After that I would go only with canon
Very, very difficult to find what you need in the menu for custom setting, I mean you will find it but the whole setup is very unintuitive and the next time you need to do it you will find yourself "reinventing the wheel" again.. Another thing quality of the image – it sucks big time compare with Canon, I always have smeared, 20-40% out of focus images,
Want a good point and shoot? any canon is the one you need - don't repeat my mistake!

Is the bond rout over? Depends upon where you're standing. After last week's whiplash selloff in German bunds, the market has reached a temporary equilibrium. For the German 10-year, a 1% yield seemed to be that point. For the U.S., something just south of 2.5% appears to be the key psychological bond. For the moment. Read More »

PhD Candidate, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management

Research Interests: pelagic ecology, endangered species management, stable isotope ecology, applied conservation biology
My dissertation work focuses the pelagic ecology of olive ridley sea turtles in the eastern Pacific Ocean, including foraging behavior, trophic roles, population genetics, predictable habitat use, at-sea mating, and movement patterns. I use multiple non-invasive approaches including stable isotope analysis, genetics, animal tracking, habitat modeling, and geospatial analysis to answer ecological questions and inform management (e.g., fisheries bycatch reduction).
More generally, I study the ecology of large marine vertebrates (mammals, turtles, birds) and work to apply that knowledge to find a balance between human resource use and species conservation.
When I'm not working I like to hike, standup paddleboard, play basketball, paddle outrigger canoe, run, cook, take photos, and explore new places.

Destiny's Road (edition 1998)
by Larry Niven
Work details
Destiny's Road by Larry Niven
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I haven't really read Larry Niven much, not even Ringworld, and I wanted to give him a try. Destiny's Road is a story of a colony from Earth to a planet called Destiny, over 200 years after its establishment. The story is a mystery really, as we follow Jemmy Bloocher as he travels from Spiral Town, a hick city that is the original landing spot of the colony but that is totally dependent on the Caravans that come twice a year from a mysterious other place, about which the merchants will not speak. The key element the Caravans carry are Speckles, the only source of potassium on the planet, without which everyone's mind will turn to mush.
Jemmy is forced to leave Spiral Town after killing one of the merchants, and has to change his identity. We follow his travels as he strives to learn the parts of the planet's history that is kept secret from Spiral Town and the other villages on "The Crab", the strip of land they farm and cannot leave.
I wanted to try Niven alone after reading 2 books he wrote with Gregory Benford, which frustrated me because, while the story was cool, the writing was difficult to follow. I hoped that I could get the cool story with better writing.
But alas, not this time. I like that Niven creates a world with what I presume is plausible science (also true of the Benford books), but he just isn't good at explaining this stuff to the lay person. By the end of the book, some things became clearer, but I guess I don't want to work that hard to understand what's going on. And while the mystery is great, and unfolds nicely, Jemmy's travels are odd, disjointed, and random with too many characters who aren't adequately fleshed out.
I need to try Ringworld.
Oh, one more thing: would it really have killed him to put a map of Destiny somewhere in the book? I guess he didn't want to include it at the front, since details of the colony were part of the mystery. But I would have liked to see a map somewhere in the second half of the book, so I could visualize the layout better.
Boring book. Listened to this as long as I could stand. The sci-fi happened long ago before the book began and the book was just one, long, soap opera. I got bogged down in the main character's life events and couldn't extricate myself from the minutiae, so I quit reading. Maybe it has a good conclusion, but I'll never know!
I liked this book and how I was able to follow this one person's whole life. It just didn't go anywhere, well, it did, but I got boggled down in the world. I just couldn't visualize it and that made it hard to read.

This was an interesting story, but exceedingly slow. I understand Niven's narrative had the uphill battle of creating an entirely new civilization on an alien world and I think he did a great job pulling it all together in the end. Much of the last couple chapters was an infodump where Jemmy finally learns the secrets of the caravans and uses it to free his people from ancient tyranny.
I think this would've worked better for me if the book was 20-25% shorter.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0812511069, Mass Market Paperback)Humanity tried to conquer the stars and failed. Then it was time to try again, on Destiny. But even as the new colony was taking hold, the settlers were in revolt against one another. While some stayed on the new planet with what equipment they could keep, others fled back to the stars. Now the settlements are falling into decay, and the old technology is breaking down. Spiraltown is better off than most, and Jeremy Bloocher is lucky that he will someday head the family farm there. But there is trouble, Jeremy must flee, and neither he nor Destiny will ever be the same.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:31 -0400)
Like Earth, the space colony of Destiny has its trading caravans, except on Destiny they don't deal in spices but speckles, an ingredient necessary for mental health. The hero is a member of a caravan and as the novel follows his adventures it describes the colony's unusual culture.… (more)

Victory for Mike Skinner
Mike Skinner has been involved in the world of racing since his first racing event in 1987. NASCAR is in Skinners' blood, and over the weekend he proved that he still has the winning magic that he has become known for. And his victory in the O'Reilly Parts 250, which was held at the Kansas Speedway, was a moment of elation for both Mike Skinner and Randy Moss Motorsport. Randy Moss Motorsport was known as Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, but with the withdrawal of Rob Morgan, Randy Moss stepped in to team up with David Dollar.

These races were usually held […]


text: Might be an easy question (or not). What determines the band gap of an element? As far as I know, silicon is the most efficient single-element semiconductor because of it's small (but nonzero) bandgap. Next (as far as I know) is Selenium. I'm aware there are more efficient compounds, but that's outside the scope of the question anyway. So what about the element is responsible for band gap size? What could you change (theoretically) if creating a new element (I said theoretically!) that would reduce band gap size? More electrons per first valence band? Or per conduction band? Is this restricted by other forces?

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
"This document was published prior to the publication of OSHA's final rule on Ergonomics Program (29 CFR 1910.900, November 14, 2000), and therefore does not necessarily address or reflect the provisions set forth in the final standard."
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will conduct a town hall meeting in the evening after its Sept. 17 regional conference on ergonomics in Lockport, N.Y., to give the public an opportunity to provide input on what should be included in an ergonomics program management standard.
The day session in the conference on "Effective Practices in Ergonomics" will run from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the OSHA Training Institute Education Center at Niagara County Community College in Lockport.
The town hall meeting designed to gather public input on a standard will begin at 6 p.m. and run for about two hours. The meeting is for workers, health care providers/the medical community, industry, small business and any others interested in the standard.
"Developing an ergonomics standard is one aspect of OSHA's four-pronged approach to reducing repetitive stress injuries, one of the fastest-growing, most costly threats to American workers' health," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Gregory R. Watchman. "We want the widest possible input from those interested in such a standard."
The other parts of the OSHA approach to reducing repetitive stress injuries are education, research and enforcement.
OSHA plans to hold town hall meetings to provide public input for an ergonomics standard in conjunction with each of 10 regional conferences on ergonomics. Those conferences enable workers, unions, employers, trade and professional associations, academics and government to share information about effective solutions to reduce exposures to ergonomic hazards in the workplace.
The Lockport conference, co-sponsored with Niagara County Community College, is the first. The second will be Oct. 30 in Chicago.
For more information or to register for the Lockport conference, contact Sharon Zimmerman, Assistant to the Coordinator, at the Niagara County Community College, at (716) 433-1856. No registration is required for the town hall meeting.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Here is question in objective form. I have tried answering it but am confused with the answer I got. Instruction: shade A if only IV is correct. Shade B if only I and III are correct. Shade C if only III and IV are correct. Shade D if I, II, III are correct. Shade E if only I, II, III and IV are correct. The question: pitch and asphalt are residual products from the fractional distilation of petroleum. These substances are used as I. protective coatings for road surfaces. II. binding agents for roofing materials. III. organic solvent. IV. catalyst cracking. If this problem is set before you, which of the options lettered A-E will you shade and why? Please explain in detail. 2. Relevant equations No equation is involved. 3. The attempt at a solution I know that pitch and asphalt are residual products from the fractional distilation of coal which can be used for the following: I. protective coating for road surfaces. II. binding agents for roofing materials. III. organic solvents. Because I read that from my chemistry text book. Since I have been reading my chemistry texts book, I have never came across any part where pitch or asphalt is used as a catalyst, talkless of catalyst for cracking or is there any? Judging from my statements above, I choose option I, II and III as correct for the uses of pitch and asphalt and IV not correct for the uses of pitch and asphalt, therefore wrong. The above is my own opinion, anyperson who has a contrary view to my opinion is free to come in let's discuss with the hope of arriving at the correct answer. Thank you as you forward in your replies.
