We recently went on an awesome extended vacation to Florida. You can read all about our three weeks of fun in the sun here! We spent every nice day at the beach, and as you know, no day at the beach is complete without a nice, cold beverage! For our first "official" beach day, we made my husband's favorite cocktail – Moscow Mules! They are soooo good, and they are soooo easy to make with just a few ingredients!
Let's get started with a little grocery shopping. You will need the following ingredients:
- Vodka
- Ginger beer
- Lime juice
- Limes
That's it!
This recipe makes 1/2 gallon of Moscow Mules.
- 24 ounces vodka
- 36 ounces ginger beer
- 4 ounces lime juice
- Fresh lime wedges
Mix the vodka, ginger beer* and lime juice. Pour over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Easy peasy, ginger squeezy!
*About the ginger beer… MOST ginger beer is non-alcoholic (so look in the soda aisle if you can't find it by the alcohol) and therefore, it doesn't add to the alcohol content. The ginger beer we purchased WAS alcoholic (surprise!!! I thought all ginger beer was non-alcoholic…) so check the ingredients if you care about your liver.
A half gallon is enough for eight 8 ounce cocktails. (Or four beach sized cocktails…. 😉
- I love this Moscow mule mug set. I got really lucky and found a set of vintage mugs when I was cleaning out my grandmother's apartment!
- This gold bar set is bea.u.ti.ful and it has everything you need for all cocktail recipes.
- It's time to ditch disposable straws, and with straws as pretty as these there will be no looking back.
- I really
wantneed to replace the gold bar cart I gave my daughter. I have the perfect place for it in our apartment, and since we entertain a lot it will definitely get put to use! There are so many to choose from- now to decide which one!
I'm a little partial to the three-tiered cart because it offers more storage space, but I love how modern the top two carts are!

Bicknell Appliance & Home Interiors in Potsdam, NY is an authorized dealer of Amana Products. The Amana Corporation is an American brand of household appliances. It was founded in 1934 by George Foerstner as The Electrical Equipment Co. in Middle Amana, Iowa, to manufacture commercial walk-in coolers. The business was later owned by the Amana Society and became known as Amana Refrigeration, Inc. It is now owned by Whirlpool Corporation.
In 1947, Amana manufactured the first upright freezer for the home, and in 1949 it added a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. In 1950 the company was sold to a group of investors, including its founder, and became Amana Refrigeration, Inc. In 1954 it began making air conditioners. Amana was acquired in 1965 by Raytheon, which had invented the microwave oven in 1947, and introduced the commercial Radarange Model 1611 in 1954. In 1967 Amana introduced a consumer model of the Radarange, the first popular microwave designed for home use. Amana has since expanded into manufacturing a variety of other appliances, including furnaces, ovens, countertop ranges, dishwashers, and clothes washers and dryers. In 1997 the company was purchased by Goodman Global, a heating-and-cooling manufacturer who sold it to Maytag (now part of Whirlpool) in 2002. Goodman still owns Amana's air conditioners and heater division, and Amana home appliances are now owned and manufactured by Whirlpool Corporation. Amana Under Counter Wine was spun off and is now marketed under the Aficionado marquee. Amana continues to be innovative, having introduced curved fronts to its refrigerators in 2000, and in 2009 collaborating with Thom Filicia on a series of colorful designs which debuted at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas.

Zeman is firm's third new LA partner in past month; has handled more than 200 appellate matters, often in cases involving product liability, insurance, and business transactions
McKenna Long & Aldridge has made a noteworthy addition to its national appellate and product liability practices with the arrival of prominent California-based trial lawyer Jules Zeman. He is the third new partner to join McKenna's LA office in the past month.
Mr. Zeman was previously head of the Appellate Practice Group in the Los Angeles office of a California-based firm, and was also a member of the firm's product liability, business litigation, and employment and government liability practices.
Mr. Zeman, who brings a strong national appellate trial practice, has appeared before state and federal courts around the country. He's managed more than 200 appellate matters in a broad range of civil litigation, often in cases involving product liability, as well as disputed business transactions. His cases have resulted in more than 20 published decisions. Previously, he worked for the predecessor of Big Four accounting firm KPMG.
McKenna's Appellate Group encompasses a wide variety of substantive practice areas, including constitutional, administrative, and regulatory law; government contracts; product liability and toxic torts; real and intellectual property; and commercial litigation. In addition to representing clients on direct appellate matters, the group devises strategies for clients impacted by higher court rulings and regularly authors amicus briefs for trade associations and other business organizations on important legal and public policy issues.
Mr. Zeman's addition also enhances McKenna's highly-regarded Product Liability and Mass Tort Defense practice, which has won a half dozen defense verdicts in living mesothelioma cases in the last two years. Among those successes is the favorable verdict in Petitpas v. Ford Motor, which the Daily Journal cited as one of the Top Defense Verdicts of 2012.
"The addition of Jules to our accomplished team of appellate lawyers further strengthens our West Coast capabilities and supplements the work our appellate group is doing in state and federal courts around the country," said Tami Lyn Azorsky, chair of McKenna's Litigation practice. "Jules' arrival also furthers McKenna's full service product liability and mass tort defense practice by adding to our ability to handle cases in this arena from the initial filing through the appeals process."
Mr. Zeman is the fourth new attorney to join McKenna's Los Angeles office since Labor Day. In September, the firm announced three new California additions to its nationally recognized Government Contracts practice: Gary Chadick and Ariana Sarabia, both of whom previously held general counsel positions as leading defense contractors, joined as partners; McKenna counsel Todd Canni relocated from the firm's Washington office.
"By adding Gary, Ariana, Todd and now Jules, we have expanded the capabilities we offer our clients in LA and nationally," said Kathy Jorrie, LA office managing partner. "We are pleased to welcome these talented attorneys to our growing LA office."
Mr. Zeman holds three degrees from Temple University in Philadelphia: an MA (1977), JD (1980), and a Master's in Taxation (1982).

Could it be, that the reason we are not seeing the glory of God manifested powerfully in our meetings today is, because we are offering profane or strange fire up to Him?
"Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. And Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke, saying:
'By those who come near Me
I must be regarded as holy;
And before all the people
I must be glorified.' "Lev. 10:1-3
We read again in Leviticus,"So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you." And Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar, offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded."Leviticus 9:5-7.
"And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people, and fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces."Leviticus 9:23-24
Now I am not suggesting that we go back to the sacrificial system. Jesus is our atonement once and for all. But the Bible says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines."Hebrews 13:8-9. We know that God has laid things out for us in His word, which is the perfect director to His heart and His ways. We are not going to be effective if we do what we want and then ask God to bless our ways. We are to find out what God requires and how He requires it, in His word.
My pastor said to me recently, concerning this subject, "I strongly agree that we are a powerless church today because we worship and church man's way without consideration to what God wants. I believe that part of it is that we no longer "wait on the Lord". We don't have time for that. Services are timed, canned and packaged to adapt to man's needs not God's sovereignty." And he further added, "…even subtle departure from God's design weakens the power by grieving the Holy Spirit."
Jody and I were with some friends in Nanaimo B.C. on Vancouver Island, last week, worshiping the Lord and these things came out prophetically during worship. God started to passionately reveal these situations in His word when people did things their own way and then were indignant when God did not respond as they expected. Another incident we can look at, is when Saul was ordered to destroy everything as he went to battle against the Amalekites."'Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'Sam. 15:3
Now it is clear from this passage that Saul was to spare nothing and no one."And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt. He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.1 Sam. 15:7-9
Now what is interesting about this passage is that Saul did most of what he was commanded to do. He destroyed all of the despised and worthless things but spared all of the good things along with Agag the king. When he was confronted by Samuel about the situation, Samuel said to him, "Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the LORD?" 1 Sam. 15:19-20. When we see Saul's response, I think that we can relate to it."But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. "But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."1 Sam. 15:20-21
I think that there are very interesting things in Saul's response that we can gain a great deal of insight from. Saul told Samuel that he did obey. In his mind, for whatever reason, he was justified in his actions. He had obeyed to a point, and maybe that was a good thing for Saul. He even justified the keeping of the best of the sheep and the plunder to sacrifice to the Lord. In his own distorted way, maybe he felt that if he sacrificed to the Lord this stuff, that God would be appeased and forgive him for not obeying the whole commandment. I wonder if we are guilty in our modern Christianity of similar things.
Now we all know that Saul was quite a disappointment as a man and as a king. Well…..What about David? We know that David was a man after God's own heart, right? Yet, David's ignorance of God's ways got Uzzah killed! David assembled all of the people and had a meeting about bringing the ark back from Kiriath-jearim. Everyone agreed that this was right to do. So we see that the intention of their hearts was right. They were going after the ark, which symbolized the glory of the Lord, to bring it home to Jerusalem, where it belonged. This should have been good enough for God to bless, right? So as we follow the trail here, we see that there were so many things done so wrong that God's wrath was poured out upon Uzzah and he died, right there in front of everyone. They did not do it God's way! God gave specific commands as to how the ark was to be moved and who was to move it. There was no deviating on this matter. But….this was the beloved son, David, a man after God's own heart that we are talking about. Surely God could have turned a blind eye on this situation because of the passionate hearts that only wanted to see the ark return to where it belonged. Surely God could contradict his own commands and let this go, just this once. David did not do this to upset God or en-anger Him. He did it out of ignorance! What about the priests? They should have stood up and said, "David, there are specific instructions about how to move the ark and we must adhere to them." Why were they silent? Where they just negligent or complacent? They should have known the Law in these matters! Their disregard caused death! We frequently talk about Ananias and Sapphira's deaths, before the apostles in Acts, what about the significance of the death of Uzzah?
We read in Numbers 4, "When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Testimony with it." Num. 4:5. So we see our first problem. They did not cover the ark as commanded. The ark represents the glory of the Lord. Let's read on."Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue; and they shall insert its poles."Num. 4:6. Problem #2, They were to cover it with more layers and insert poles into the rings on the sides."You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. "The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it." Exodus 25:14. David put the ark on a new cart that seemed to be a good idea. Instead of putting it on some old cart that would have been seen as an insult to God, they did what was right in their own eyes just like they did in Judges. But……this was not the way God had commanded it to be so. The priests should have known God's commands! The ark was to be carried only by the Levites (Kohathites) and only on their shoulders with the poles. What presumption to carry the glory of God in a way that God did not command or desire. Problem #3 was that they did not carry it the way they should. So we have the ark traveling throughout the land uncovered on wagon pulled by horses, and open to everyone's gaze."…..but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die." Num. 4:15. Problem #4, no one was to touch the ark. We have all probably been taught that Uzzah became too familiar with the ark, and took it for granted, and there is a lot of truth in this, but I believe what is more important is that there was an utter disregard for God's clear commands, stipulated by Moses. What else would we expect God to do?
God has a blueprint, which is His Word, that is sanctified and will always please Him. A builder would be a fool to ignore the blueprint and just do it his own way! The house would fall down! The pipes would leak! It would fail! So it is with our lives!
Now let's bring this situation up to our day and age. Since God is the same today as He was then, do we think that he has gotten loose with His ways? We are not going to get all legalistic here and say that we are going to have to follow every ordinance in Leviticus and start the sacrificial system again and wear Jewish attire. But…..God has His ways which Isaiah tells us,"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9.
So….Our purpose is to find out His ways and then follow them! We have operated presumptuously! In our church services, we speak when we want, how we want, and conduct our meetings the way that seems right to us. The timing of our services is predictable, and consistent. How else could we have 2 or more services on Sunday morning scheduled exactly 2 hours apart, and use the same message and the same songs for each. What about the spontaneous moving of the Holy Spirit constantly monitoring the moment, and ministering accordingly? Is God so predicable? Repetition is not part of His character! He created each of us uniquely, in DNA, with individual eye retina patterns, fingertips, voice characteristics, and many other attributes that we are yet to discover. Is this the kind of God who is boring and predicable? I think not! He is passionate, holy, sharp as a two-edged sword, a Warrior, ready for to come to the rescue of one of His little ones who is crying out. Yet, we have turned Him into a presence that we think that we can control. Just as the Holy Spirit is ministering to Uncle Mike or my brother John, the next segment of the service stops the worship at the designated time and we move on to the announcements and the ministry is aborted just as they were about to have a breakthrough. We need to be sensitive to how God is moving in our midst from moment to moment. No schooling will prepare us for this. Time spent in the secret place as we get to know His voice is the only preparation that equips us for this. When we ignore the Holy Spirit and continue with our pre-planned services regardless of the moving of His Spirit, we grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
I believe that we often prophesy presumptuously! I believe in prophecy! Sometimes these timely words have confirmed things that God has already been speaking to us about. No word of prophesy takes precedent over God's Word. These words of prophetic utterance must never contradict God's holy word. We have received instruction from leaders that we can prophesy whenever we want. What about the unction of the Holy Spirit? Or…How about this phrase? "Put a demand on the anointing!" Demand from God? We are not going to control God folks! God is not a genie in the sky for our pleasures! We have become presumptuous with His power, His anointing, and His giftings! And after all of this…..we expect God to bless it all!
The priests were commanded to teach the difference between the holy and profane."And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24"In controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments."Ezekiel 44:23-24
It is a great responsibility to teach the difference between the holy and the profane. We are talking about holy fire and profane fire! We are God's priests and we need to teach it to all those who will listen! For the sake of size and space, I believe that there is enough information in this article for one reading. Let God show you what has been holy and what has been unholy in your life, your church services and other Christian events that you have been part of. Send us your feedback. We are not experts in these areas, but we are just a voice in the wilderness along with many others. We are crying out because God has been crying out, and He needs others to catch this fire of justice, and spread the light on deception. God told Ezekiel,"Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul."Ezekiel 3:19.

Honolulu's Sheetmetal & Plastics Program got a surprise call a few weeks ago from a local ukulele band, Motley Uke, who learned about the program through a fan who happens to be a sheetmetal alum. On January 19, 2016 members of the band visited the campus to deliver a $500 donation. The band members also presented Aiu with a band t-shirt! In return Aiu gifted them with a few coveted copper and sheetmetal roses.
"We really like metal. We love metal. We're metalheads! Depending on sources, techniques and talent, metal can be strong, heavy, resilient, durable, either blunt or sharp, and awesome in every way. But that's just a metaphor for our musical genre — the students in HonCC's Sheetmetal Program work with real metal, metal that can be all of those things and more. (Of course, they also acquire readily marketable skills.) So we're proud to provide our support. Clang!" shares Jeff Clark of Motley Uke.
Mahalo Motley Uke for your support! The funds donated will allow the program to purchase supplies and equipment to benefit students. Check them out at motleyuke.com

It's been such a long time since I did a skin care item review, but here it goes... About 1 month ago I received the Made from Earth Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatment to review. At the beginning I was wondering why in the world they would send something to heal the skin from sun expose when , oh well, in Finland it was the beginning of winter. I e-mail the company and asked about it and they replied quickly telling me that this product is also an excellent moisturizing. Hearing this I decided to give it a try, considering that I start to have a lot of dry patches when it's cold outside.
I was curious to try products from Made from Earth as I try to go as natural as I can with my skin care.
Here it is the official description of the Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatment from Made from Earh website:
"100% pure and organic aloe vera for cooling and deep moisturizing.
This Aloe Vera Skin Treatment should be used for healing the skin from the effects of daily sun exposure. It is the most potent and natural form of aloe vera you can buy in a jar. Deeply moisturizes skin, while the aloe releases enzymes and natural vitamins into your skin. Treatment is recommended for use two to three times per week.
Made from Earth recommends keeping both aloe products in the refrigerator for a 'cooling' effect on the skin, as well as increasing the shelf life of the product.
Apply small amount to treatment area. Massage into skin. For the best results, add a second application once the aloe treatment is fully absorbed by the skin. This treatment is also pH balanced for face & body applications.
About our Ingredients:
The Aloe Vera plant has been used worldwide for more than 4,000 years. Aloe vera is a type of aloe plant and is most effective species. The aloe plant has long and spiked leaves which contain a clear liquid-like substance. Today it is used in cosmetics, skin creams and face treatments. The juice is taken from the aloe leaves which is bitter and contains many vitamins, minerals, and healthy enzymes with amino acids. Aloe face treatments have been proven to reduce wrinkles, and create a younger looking appearance to your face. Since the product is organic and chemical free, it gives oxygen to your skin cells which increases the strength of skin tissue, removing dead skin cells and increasing longevity of sun tans. Aloe provides nutrients so that your skin better holds up to sunlight.
Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Organic Rooibos Tea Extract, Emulsifying Wax NF, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Olive Oil, Palm Stearic Acid, Organic Jojoba Oil, Avocado, Witch Hazel, Vitamin E, Black Willowbark Extract, Rosemary Oleoresin, Neem Oil."
Now, here it comes my review...
Packaging, price, quantity: 2 oz. of product (I think that is 60 grams) come in a plastic jar for almost 15$ (now it is discounted at 10$). I personally don't like jar as I don't think they are hygienic, but oh well...
Texture: it is not like a gel or cream but it is also not liquid, it is something in between. Personally I like the texture and a little bit of this goes long way.
What it did for me: as I already said, at the beginning I had my doubts, but now those went away. I've been using this for the last month approximately 2-3 times per week and I really like it. I use it at night because it need some time to get absorbed into the skin, so I wouldn't recommend wearing this under makeup. Though my skin is quite oily, my favorite face mask at the moment (Queen Helen Mint Julep Mask) can dry my skin in some days so I just apply the Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatment after and problem solved! Also because it got colder, I started to have dry patches around my month and on my cheeks, but this gets rid of them almost over night! This treatment it's not just moisturizing, but it helps calming down redness on my face,it is not clogging my pores and I have a suspicion that it helps healing my spots faster.
Overall: I love this product for colder season. I can't tell to much about skin healing after sun exposure because it is winter here. I would buy this product just because is moisturizing my skin nicely and it is not clogging my pores (this is a big plus for me as I am prone to clogged pores). I would rate this product 9/10 just because of the jar packaging.
You can purchase the Made from Earth Pure Aloe Vera skin Treatment here .
I also have a discount code for you: use the code aloe54288 to get 1 free Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatment. Just add 2 Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatments to your shopping cart and then use the code at checkout .
This was all for today :) I hope you enjoyed the review. It is written in my "old style" just because I would like to ask you again, how do you prefer : long text reviews or just briefly pluses and minuses?

While new Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg sat stoically, quietly content to take the beatdown being administered to his team and get the heck out of town, Nuggets coach Michael Malone was pacing the sideline with first quarter energy in the fourth quarter.
Pointing. Yelling. Clapping. Cajoling.
And then, with under two minutes to go in the Nuggets game against Chicago on Thursday night, calling a timeout. He steamed at the effort on the court and wasn't going to let the moment pass to make that point. Because among the many habit-changing things he is trying to impress on his team, keeping a steely resolve no matter the situation is one of them.

Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission v. Whatcott
Factum of the intervener Ontario Human Rights Commission.
Under the Ontario Human Rights Code, discrimination because of creed is against the law. Everyone should have access to the same opportunities and benefits, and be treated with equal dignity and respect, regardless of their creed.
The Code does not define creed, but the courts and tribunals have often referred to religious beliefs and practices. Creed may also include non-religious belief systems that, like religion, substantially influence a person's identity, worldview and way of life. People who follow a creed, and people who do not, have the right to live in a society that respects pluralism and human rights and the right to follow different creeds.
Relevant policies:
Factum of the intervener Ontario Human Rights Commission.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Ontario Ministry of Education have finalized a settlement of a human rights complaint initiated by the Commission against the Ministry and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) in July 2005. A settlement was reached separately with the TDSB in November 2005.
The central issue in this appeal is the apparent conflict between the intersecting religious and equality rights of a witness and the fair trial rights of the accused in the context of a criminal proceeding. The OHRC's submissions set out a process, based in existing case law, to analyze and reconcile potentially competing rights. The proposed process can apply, with appropriate modifications, to any competing rights claims whether they arise under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter), human rights legislation, the common law or otherwise.

Breeding Bin Ladens
America, Islam, and the Future of Europe by Zachary Shore
$25.00 hardcover
978-0-8018-8505-1 (30 ctn qty)
2006 240 pp.
While American leaders wage war on extremists in the Middle East, they are dangerously detached from a potentially greater threat closer to home. In Breeding Bin Ladens, Zachary Shore asserts that the growing ambivalence of Europe's Muslims poses risks to national identities, international security, and the transatlantic alliance. Europe's failure to integrate its Muslim millions, combined with America's battered image in the Muslim world, have left too many Western Muslims easy prey for violent dogmas. Until America and Europe adopt new strategies, Shore argues, Europe will increasingly become the incubation ground for breeding new Bin Ladens.

Getting your child to sit still for a photo can be a challenging task and this is especially the case when they are walking and talking. If you are sick and tired of just never being able to get that perfect photo because your child is too fidgety or because they just can't stay in one place for too long then you can find some helpful hints and tips below.
Give Them Something to Hold
This is great if you have younger children. You may be able to get your child to sit on a stool, but that doesn't mean that they will be happy about it. They'll probably cry, pout or scowl their way through the shoot and this can lead to some very interesting family photos. If you have a small toy or anything else that may draw their attention then this is a great way to get a little smile out of them. When they look up at you with the toy, make sure that you are ready there with the camera so that you can snap that perfect moment.
Play Copycat
Another thing that you can do is ask them to play copycat. They have to repeat everything that you do. Try a few funny poses and ask them to freeze when you say so. This is a great way for you to get them involved in a game or two and you may even be able to get some great family photos by doing this with the kids as well. When you are having a Multi generation family photo shoot you can even get the family involved so that they can encourage the child to go along with it. This way you can really have a fun and exciting experience.
Always Have Something to Look At
When you have the camera aiming at them, it can be hard to get them to look at you. Toddlers have the remarkable way of knowing when you want them to do something, but somehow they always end up doing the complete opposite. They really are smart, and in some instances you may have to take extra measures to make sure that they take note of the camera. If you want to do this, try and put a toy or even a picture on top of the camera so that it attracts their attention. You can even have a sweet or a piece of candy on top of the camera, and when they sit still for the photos, you can give it to them as a reward.
You can even wear a funny hat, or something equally as daft so that you get a laugh out of them while they are looking right at you. If you want to get photographs from different angles, move around. You can move to the left, to the right, up and down etc. Your toddler will probably follow you with their head and this can help you to get a variety of headshots from different angles.

A puff in the early mornings of winter is surely a great retreat and one would never miss to get the best cigars for this reason. The market today is loaded with number of varieties and brands of cigars and each of them has its own uniqueness and experience. To know better or even more about their flavors and types, you can always seek the help of internet that is sure to help you at large and find the right one that you are looking for. When you have an idea about each brand's flavor and price, you are probably the ideal person in the world to know the best choice for your needs. This is because only you can find your desires to smoke the quality brands and your kind of taste to get the most excellent variety of cigar from the market. You have the option of online stores in the present world where you can order any type of cigar that you want. It's a huge place for huge choices and you will never be disappointed because you get everything that you desire to get. So, the online cigar sites provide you with everything that you need right from the brand that you are looking for, its size, color, older or newly packed cigars and so on. If you wonder why there are two choices of old and new packed cigars, then you are lacking much detailed information about the different experience when you smoke these two different types of low cost cigars. The truth is that both these varieties have a mild difference that can enhance your entire smoking feel and you are sure to fall in love with either one or sometimes both depending upon your tastes. Including all these features, you will come across hundreds of brands in the online market that will be the most ideal one that you have been waiting for. But you should have a question about it is price and quality and definitely about how it is going to taste. Why do you have to worry when the online stores offer you some sample pieces for free of cost? Isn't that great! Yes, you will simply have to order the samples of the brand that you like and they will deliver it to. If you are satisfied with its size, quality and taste then you may proceed with the purchase of buying a whole new pack of the cigars.
Keep The Cost In Mind
Anything that you buy should deserve the money that you pay. Ensure that you are not paying more and for this, cigar reviews can be very much useful as they give you cigar costs and best brands in the market. It is a myth that cigars that are very expensive have the best flavors. You will also find the same or probably better flavor and enjoyable smoking experience when you purchase the low cost cigars from a leading brand. It is the brand of cigar that matters and not its price. So, when you have decided to buy cigars from online store, make sure that it is reasonably priced and you pay only the right cost and nothing more. Certain tips on buying these cigars can help you pick the high quality ones from the market and your money is going to be saved to some extent. You may either order the required amount of cigars in numbers or as an entire pack. Whatever that you order will be delivered to you at the right time. There are special discounts given on certain occasions and you can make use of them to save some bucks. Freebies and cigar accessories are also given to you during festive sales and yearend sales. If you find your smoking experience with the new brand much pleasurable, then leave reviews or feedbacks on the online sites so that people may have a clear idea about what needs to be considered before buying a cigar. Just have a look at the wide range of cigars and you will be pleased to try all of them at least once to know which is your favorite and write about them on review sites and rate them with your pleasurable smoking experience.

Philadelphia-native and NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain will be featured on new, limited edition Forever stamps -- just in time to spice up your holiday cards.
The Wilton Chamberlain Postal Stamp Committee worked for six years to achieve their dream of flooding post offices with Chamberlain stamps. After 55,000 signatures, the committee can now celebrate the success of making Chamberlain the first NBA player forever commemorated by stamp.
The stamp committee is hosting a ceremony in December featuring former and current NBA players to glorify the hard-earned stamp.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Chamberlain has been called an "unstoppable force" in the game and is best known for scoring 100 points in a single game.
The celebratory luncheon will take place Dec. 5 at 11:30 a.m. at 3801 Market St. Former NBA players Mike Bantom, Ollie Johnson, Tom Hoover and Wali Jones are scheduled to speak.
The stamp will be officially unveiled later that day during halftime of the Sixers-Oklahoma City Thunder game at the Wells Fargo Center.

Governor Robert Bentley lent his support to raising awareness of rare diseases on Tuesday by welcoming a group of cyclists riding in support of the creation of a Rare Disease Advisory Council to the Alabama State Capitol.
"It is an honor to help raise awareness to diseases that affect nearly 30 million Americans," Governor Bentley said. "There are almost 7,000 rare diseases which have serious and debilitating conditions and a significant impact on the lives of those affected. I hope that our efforts will help increase the research into these diseases and will one day lead to cures."
State Representative April Weaver, chair of the House Health Committee, also joined Bentley. In February, Weaver introduced a resolution to create the Rare Disease Advisory Council in hopes that Alabama will be one of a handful of states with a group dedicated to helping state lawmakers better understand and address the needs of rare disease communities.
"It is estimated that 10% of Alabama citizens are directly impacted by rare disease," Weaver said. "The goal of the Rare Disease Advisory Council is to bring everyone together to complement efforts already underway and spur new collaborations that will lead to more cures in the future."
To bring attention to the newly formed council, the Birmingham-based Hope for Gabe Foundation, founded by Scott Griffin whose son was diagnosed with a rare and devastating form of Muscular Dystrophy called Duchenne, organized the ride in the same style as their annual Ride4Gabe.
The cyclists began their journey at Cahaba Cycles in Pelham at 3 a.m. Tuesday and wrapped up their ride at the State Capitol in Montgomery. There, they met with rare disease advocates to discuss how the newly proposed Rare Disease Advisory Council can aid economic development efforts in addition to the benefits of greater collaboration among those affected by rare diseases.

Sleep release even more new music: 17-minute song "Leagues Beneath"
If their first album in 15+ years isn't enough new Sleep for you, you're in luck. The stoner metal legends have now unleashed nearly 17 more minutes of sludge in the form of the new song "Leagues Beneath." It's for the Adult Swim singles series, and it's actually the second time they contributed to this series; the first was 2014's "The Clarity," which was their first piece of new music since their then-final album Jerusalem/Dopesmoker. Listen to "Leagues Beneath" below.
As mentioned, Sleep are touring, including two Brooklyn Steel shows with Earth's Dylan Carlson in July (7/26 & 7/27). Night one is on sale, night two is sold out.

At some point, Artist J. Dubose got his heart broken. Then, a year ago today, on Valentine's Day, Dubose—stage name A Boogie wit da Hoodie—shared that sadness with the world on his debut mixtape, Artist. "Imma just send you this letter whenever I'm done with it / I know you gon' read it / I called you a bitch at the end, I don't know if I mean it," raps A Boogie on "Still Think About You." Addressed to a past lover who cheated on him, the young rapper is unsure about what do with his wounded emotions. So he commits it to the page. "Even if you feel like you love her / Don't tell that bitch that you really love her," he warns. And yet, he can't help but show his vulnerability, again and again, on the song's hook: "I still think about you / Girl, I still think about you."
A Boogie's debut mixtape slowly gathered buzz last year, especially in New York, where his songs eventually landed on the city's premier radio station, Hot 97. By the end of the summer, A Boogie signed with Atlantic Records. Still finding his voice, the Bronx native pulled heavily from the So Far Gone-era Drake; Artist is full of dour production, half-sung hooks, and intense reflection of his own grief. But Drake, even in his earliest days, kept his emotions in check—whereas A Boogie, who was still a teenager when he recorded Artist, isn't always so careful, or simply doesn't care to be. Drake has been become the butt of endless jokes for his supposed softness, and the range of emotion he displays in his music has calcified over the years because of it. Meanwhile, on Artist, A Boogie wonderfully lets himself get caught in his feelings.
Raised in the south Bronx neighborhood Highbridge, A Boogie's subject matter isn't limited to matters of his heart—he also shows the same emotional vulnerability when it comes to matters of the streets. "I was walking in the rain with my Timbs on / Stepping over puddles full of pain / All my friends gone / Some in jail, others changed" he raps on "Jungle," as he pieces together a world that can violently spin out of his control. His focus on these details is what quickly separates A Boogie from his fellow tri-state area crooners: PnB Rock and Fetty Wap. All three hold great ears for melodies, but A Boogie's knack for storytelling is a trait rightfully respected by New York's old guard, as he never allows an adlib or vocal effect to usurp the voice of his pen.
The only time Artist strays from that lyricism is unironically, on A Boogie's breakthrough single, "My Shit." The buoyantly braggadocious song may sound like Atlanta, but the swagger is all king of New York 50 Cent. That tough, but warm approach has been the under-acknowledged calling card of New York rap for the last few decades. It's there when P. Diddy brazenly samples "Every Step You Take" in memory of Biggie, on Ja Rule's tender R&B collabs, and when 50 Cent, after mocking Ja Rule's supposed softness, achieved his own pop success with saccharin love songs "21 Questions" and "Candy Shop."
"I used to grow up listening to Cassidy and Beanie Sigel," raps A Boogie on "Always On Time," which only appeared on the original mixtape version of Artist. His first turn to pop isn't as bold-faced as the original, but on his cover of the Ja Rule and Ashanti song, A Boogie skillfully balances street toughness and pure romantic openness. It's a skill lost on many New York rappers in the last decade, who become obsessed with maintaining a narrow vision of the city. A Boogie's music always inwardly reflects the troubles in his head, but he doesn't turn his concerns into larger-than-life narratives or motifs. He's just trying to make sense of his own emotions.

How To Finger A Girl Right (Because You're Doing It Wrong)

How to finger a girl 101: Our clitoris is not like the rapid fire button on your PS4 controller.
Its technology has been touted as so revolutionary, it puts the Fleshlight and Pocket Pussy to shame.
Man, I feel like a woman.
A great kiss should be experienced from the top of your head and work its way all the way down to the tips of your toes. That is the ultimate kiss. If you're not aiming for that every time you kiss, you're seriously missing out!
There really is an art to performing an incredible kiss. A bad kiss is a real let down, particularly if it's a first kiss. If the first kiss with someone lacks that spark, which everyone is searching for, it may be a deal breaker. They figure if that spark isn't there in that moment, it certainly isn't going to get any better.
So how do you know if you are doing it right? No one automatically knows how to get it right and it takes a while to perfect. Remember back to your very first kiss? OMG, how bad was it? All mouth, tongue, hot breath and not exactly memorable for anything more than being your first kiss.
Now, no one can tell you how much tongue to use, how much saliva needs to be flowing, blah, blah, blah. That's all personal preference. One thing you need to remember is that a great kiss starts slow. Just touching someone else's tongue with yours is really sensual. So start there. Don't go in like you are eating a giant-sized hamburger!
Starting soft, slow and sensual is what you're after. Moisten your lips and let them gently come together with the other person's. Let your lips touch well before you thrust in that tongue. You aren't a lizard! Enjoy the sensation of your lips touching and then gently look for their lips with your tongue. Not like you are trying to lick something off them but like you are searching for a light connection.
If they do likewise, you will gently feel the connection between your tongues. Be careful not to overdo the tongue at this point. It's likely you'll begin to get that stirring feeling in the pit of your stomach. That's the sweet spot, so savour it. Do whatever feels good and move in closer so your bodies are touching.
Your hands should be either to the back of their head with your fingers softly ruffling through their hair or cradle their face. Be conscious of where your kissing partner has their hands. If they don't know where to put their hands, or have them somewhere else, direct them to a likewise position. Kissing is all about the face and head, not your butt, breasts or somewhere else. Well, not at this stage anyway!
You don't have to stay glued to someone elses mouth, either. In fact, it's better if you find their tongue and lips for a bit, come apart, take a breath and find them again, just as you did at the beginning. Take your time to build it up to being more passionate.
As that feeling in the pit of your stomach grows, the kiss will get more intense. Go with it. That's often when hands wander. If it's just a kiss, it might be time to pull away and come up for air. You can come back to it. Kissing not only makes us feel good, releasing all those positive endorphines, but many women find it an essential part of foreplay. That's the beauty of kissing.
A great kiss doesn't only get the saliva flowing but will also get the rest of the body ready for sex. Men generally don't need as much foreplay and might neglect the effect a long, lingering kiss can have on a woman. Don't let him rush it. That's a sure-fire way to end up completely frustrated when he's done and your not even halfway there. Remind him about your needs and let him know if the kiss lasts longer, you probably won't!

Looking for ways to drive your man wild and ignite the fire in his, er – belly? Well there's nothing like a little naughtiness to keep it fresh and make him sizzle in anticipation.
Luckily, there's a host of ways to keep that intimacy alive and well, especially while you're doing everyday mundane things. From driving, eating, washing the dishes and everything in between, it's just a matter of using your imagination. Here are 15 simple ways to drive him wild to start you off.
RELATED: Where To Have Sex In Public, Without Getting Caught!
Driving: While driving in the car together, let him take the wheel and start with a firm leg rub. Then, work your way up to a sensational crutch massage. This one's best done alone, for obvious reasons.
Breakfast in bed: Sunday breaky in bed is awesome, but this idea is even better. Get together some strawberries, cream and maybe a jar of Nutella. Anything that you don't mind licking off his body. You've got extra time on a Sunday, so make it a long lasting meal instead of a quick snack.
Dirty dish washing: There's nothing sexy about doing the dishes right? Well, what if he discovered you in the kitchen wearing nothing but an apron? To get him in the kitchen, just ask him to grab you something because your hands are wet. I bet they won't be the only thing wet for very long.
Handwritten notes: Put sexy notes in places where he'll find them. In with his lunch, under the sun visor in his car or strategically placed under the soap in the bathroom. It will definitely bring a smile to his dial!
Hide things: Speaking of hiding things, if he takes a brief case, tool box or something similar to work each day, hide a silk scarf, handcuffs, or a small sex toy in there. Don't forget to write a note saying: "Please bring this home because we'll be needing this later tonight."
Erotic eating: When you're alone together eating an ice-cream, a banana, sausage, or something which resembles a penis, try to do it as erotically as possible but without being too obvious about it. Pretend to be oblivious at first, but when you catch him watching you, make eye contact and give him a smile. Not only is it a bit of fun, but it's guaranteed to drive him wild!
Foot massage: Give him a foot massage but concentrate on the area under the ankle bone on both sides of his feet. Give the region a strong rub moving in a circular motion. Apparently this is a hot spot and specifically using this motion will ignite a spark in his pelvic region.
Pelvic thrusts: When you are having sex, stop thrusting for a few moments and try doing some pelvic floor or Kegal exercises. It will feel like you're giving his penis a mini-massage.
Housework: If you're doing housework, why not do it in a naughty maid's outfit? Wait until he's sitting down in the lounge, grab a feather duster and pretend to clean up around him. He won't be able to resist watching you work your magic.
Let your hair down: Speaking of watching, these next two are all about putting on a show for him – men just love watching women let down their hair. So if you have some long locks, let it down with a sweep of your hand, then shake it out so it falls gently around your face. The thing to remember is that if it feels sexy, it'll look sexy.
Less is more: Continuing on the watching theme; on a hot day when it's just the two of you, give him something to look at by wearing short skirts, sarongs, or low cut tops. Do plenty of bending down in front of him so he can get a good glimspe of your butt and breasts. He'll probably try not to look for too long, but when you catch him, let him know it's been your intention.
Footsies: If you go out to dinner or are at a dinner party, try and sit opposite or next to him at the table. Remove your shoes and slide your toes up his leg. He'll go from being interested in the conversation to being more interested in his lady.
Play music: Pick a well played but sexy song on the radio. Tell your man that it makes you think of him and something he does that excites you. Each time he hears that particular song, the only thing he'll be able to think about is the scenario that you've told him about.
Get wet: Surprise him by joining him in the shower. Pick you're timing, though, because it will backfire if he's in a hurry!
Hopefully these simple ideas to drive him wild have provided you with some inspiration to be a bit naughty for your man. If you have any more simple ideas, we'd love to hear them in the comments below!

If you're old enough to remember a topless Fergie's 1992 toe-sucking Texan scandal in St-Tropez – while the Duchess of York was still married to Prince Andrew – you'll recall the somewhat cringe-worthy tabloid photos of said hot foot lovin'.
RELATED: High Heel Abuse: How To Have Happy Feet
The photos, which showed American financial manager John Bryan with a mouth full of one of Fergster's feet while they holidays and canoodled by the pool in full view of the world (and Fergie and Andrew's toddler daughters) in southern France, were first splashed across British tabloids.
And the Queen was not amused – the Duchess is said to have been at Balmoral with the rest of the royal family when the story broke, with Her Majesty effectively banishing Fergie from the royal household henceforth.
Whether this was due to the Duchess' refusal to toe the line (pardon the pun) or the royals' horror at the said foot fetishism, I guess we'll never know, but public toe-sucking has arguably suffered a tarnished public image ever since.

However, fast forward some 20 plus years and foot fetishism (er, arguably best celebrated in the privacy of your own home) is seemingly now so popular, it's virtually cool. However, it does seem to be more popular among men.
Famous foot fetishists who've gone on the record of late include perennial-cool singer/songwriter Pharrell Williams, actor Jack Black, singer Ricky Martin and director Quentin Tarantino.
What's more, Elvis himself is arguably one of the best known foot fetishists, with a well-documented obsession, allegedly as a result of having to massage his mother's feet as a child – shudder. There's some serious Oedipus complex going on there! And The King's handlers are even said to have screened the rock'n'roll icon's female love interests on the basis of their feet attractiveness, er as you do.
While foot fetishism is nothing new – indeed, it's the most common form of sexual fetish related to the body – it's certainly not something I'd personally encountered prior to the advent of social media. You see, I recently joined Instagram and wow, what an eye-opener it was for me when I recently innocently posted several random pictures of my feet post-pedicure, one of my favourite beauty indulgences.
A recent such pic I posted got a lot of attention from said foot fetishists in Insta-land: countless pervy comments and requests this time to both share and repost said pic to others in the foot-worshipping community. In addition, it gained me no less than nine new foot fetishist followers?! What rock had I been living under? Was foot fetishism really that much of a thing? Apparently so!
Foot worship, or podophilia, is a pronounced sexual interest in feet. For a foot fetishist, attractive traits include the shape and size of the foot and toes; foot jewellery, such as toe rings and ankle bracelets; treatments, such as pedicures or massaging; state of dress, such as barefoot and/or thongs; odour, and/or sensory interaction such as smelling, licking, kissing, tickling and biting the foot.
As we all know, it takes a lot of different types to make the world go 'round and if feet (mine included) blow your hair back, I say go for it, as long as it doesn't harm anyone.
The hilarious part for me though, and I mean no disrespect to said foot fetishists, is that my feet are my least favourite body part; indeed my right foot has been damaged beyond repair by years of high-heel abuse. I've even got a small bunion, for God's sake! Are bunions hot?!
Sydney sexologist, Dr Michelle Mars (pictured), who specialises in the sociology of sex gender and sexual well-being, says foot fetishism is so popular, in part, because feet are fairly non-offensive.
"One reason we hear about foot fetishes so much is that as far as fetishes go they are quite vanilla; it's okay to admit you have a foot fetish in comparison to BDSM [bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism] or being into golden showers, for example," Dr Mars says.
"It can be a submissive act for men and they can enact that without going too far down the submissive path and compromising their masculinity.
"Feet are accessible. There are lots of options, toes, shoes, stockings… And the options are often elegant.
"In addition, feet are an area of the body with lots of nerve endings!"
And while feet aren't my thing, shoes are another story altogether…
What do you think? Have you ever encountered foot fetishism in a partner?

Picture this: It's holiday season, you've been happily single for a year now (by choice, obvs) as you're far too busy being fabulous, successful and carefree to want a serious relationship just now, but you've developed an urgent need for some hot lovin'.

Do you:
a) Invest in yet another vibrator (yawn)
b) Eat more chocolate cake (like, a lot more)
c) Take up kickboxing to vent your sexual frustration and/or
d) Contemplate a holiday romance, fling or casual sex encounter, whatever term your fancy.
If you answered d), take a deep breath and let's talk about the "rules", girlfriend.
Sexologists and relationship experts alike say you'll want to strongly consider the following hot topics below and/or include them for possible discussion with Mr-Perfect-For-Now if and when you decide to take up a short-term "fuck buddy" over the summer break. Of course, if it's a one-night night you'd prefer, there probably won't be a lot of deep and meaningful dialogue.
What do you think? What are your casual sex rules?

The key to great sex is great foreplay. Plain and simple. When you first hook up with a partner the foreplay can last for hours. The two of you are up all night talking, kissing and canoodling your way to passionate love-making. Neither of you care that you've had no sleep and need to get up for work in the morning. You're both running on adrenaline. Awesome, isn't it?!
After you guys have been together for a while, you can begin to lose that passionate honeymoon spark. No one intentionally sets out to lose it, but the lust you once had for each other develops into a deeper love. Hey, there's nothing wrong with love but it can replace lust. Somewhere along the way lovemaking turns into a quickie whenever you can find the time.
Quite often, women are left feeling unsatisfied and the foreplay, which initiates sex can get monotonous and boring. It all becomes like a routine. Let me tell you, it doesn't have to. It's after deep love develops that you should actually be having better sex than when you first hooked up. If you're not, you're probably skimping on the foreplay and heading straight to the happy ending. So what's a girl to do?
This is where fun enters the equation. "Fun" can look like a lot of different things to different people. I've got a few suggestions to get you started:
Role play
Now role play can be whatever you like. It might involve costumes like a scantily clad maid or nurse. Play the part and lose yourself in the fantasy. Lots of ladies like a man in uniform so get him to dress up like a fireman, cop, doctor or whatever your fantasy is. The key is to have fun while you're doing it.
Role play can be played outside the home as well. You might want your partner to pick you up from a bar or nightclub, and pretend to be strangers, meet up in a dark picture theatre, whatever floats ya boat. Remember though, if you get caught having sex in public you can get charged with a criminal offense, so just a word of warning; be discrete!
Fun might consist of a bit of bondage. You don't need to go the whole way, like dressing in rubber suits or buying sex related furniture and props. Unless you want to, of course. Tie each other up with scarf's or belts and maybe grab a pair of handcuffs. Once again, play the part and lose yourself in the fantasy.
Add sex toys
Add some toys to your sex life. There are thousands of different items on the market. Why not jump online together, have a laugh and talk about what you'd like to try and purchase a few. That in itself can be great foreplay if you discuss what you'd like to do to each other.
Purchase sex games
You can buy sex related board and card games which give you both the opportunity to take turns giving and receiving. If you find talking about sex difficult, these sorts of games can get you to open up and be able to communicate your needs and wants to your partner. They are also a great way to introduce new activities to try out together.
Home-made sex games
A great game to play together is the scavenger hunt. Go around the house individually and meet back in the bedroom with what you've found to use as sex toys. You might want to try naked blind man's bluff. One of you has on a blindfold and tries to reach out and find the other. What about strip poker? Turning everyday kids and adult games into sex games can be a lot of fun. Dig deep into your imagination and discover what you can both come up with.
These activities I've listed are just the tip of the foreplay iceberg. Have fun together, laugh, get creative and be daring. If you have any other fun foreplay ideas, please feel free to share them. We'd all love to hear about how you and your partner are getting creative and putting the fun back into foreplay!

Love a good foot rub? Hell yeah! When it's done right, even the most ticklish person can enjoy it. Sure, there are people out there that look at feet and think, 'Yuk, no way' but there are also plenty of people who find the humble foot irre-bloody-sistible. You know the foot fetish types?
Anyway, when it comes to foreplay and sex, the impact foot-play can have our our entire bodies often gets forgotten while we head straight for more tempting body parts. I wanted to focus on feet for a minute or two and hopefully tempt you into getting into some foot-play action of your own.
So what does foot-play involve? Absolutely anything and everything you can think of to relax your partner, enjoy the experience of sensual touch and literally make their toes curl. Sound good? It includes pampering, massaging, kissing, licking, sucking and even that other word that I'm sure your imaginations can fill in the blanks. Hey, whatever floats ya boat. If you can't stand the thought of feet in your mouth, use your other body parts instead. There's no right or wrong way and everyone has different preferences. That's the beauty of sexploration!
Now, if you are going to get into some foot-play most people would recommend clean feet. Some people don't care, but if you are going to get your mouth involved, clean feet are a much tastier option, yeah? You can make this the starting point of the play process. If you have a spa or bath to jump into together that would be ideal, but if not grab a tub large enough to comfortably fit warm water, feet and hands.
You'll also need a towel and some edible massage oil of your choice. Use a scented one like Vanilla because it's calming and relaxing. Different scents do make a difference, so check out our article "Unlocking The Secret Of Sexual Scents" and use it as a guide. Set the scene with some candles or dull light, soft music and get naked! Make sure the temperature is pleasant so you don't get cold and feel forced to get to that happy ending before you've both had time to relax, feel pampered and thoroughly enjoy the experience. You can do it with your clothes on but seriously, why stop using those oils at your feet? It is foreplay we're talking about so slash that oil around a bit after and get creative.
Ok, I got a bit sidetracked there, so let me get back to foot-play. When you have everything ready I'm pretty sure you can manage to clean feet without graphic explanation. As you are doing it though, turn it into a massage. If you are using the tub it might get a bit awkward, so give them a clean and ditch the bucket and pop their feet on your lap. Add the massage oil and please make sure it is edible because other oils taste revolting.
Even you don't know much about feet, don't despair. Reflexology has been around for centuries and the following diagram will show you which part of the foot is linked to which part of the body. It's basic but explanatory for our purpose. Don't just head straight to the area marked sexual organs either. Sex is way more than genitals so pay close attention to the toes as well as the remainer of the foot. Remember this is a slow, sensual, full body experience for you to enjoy together. The key to great sex is mind blowing, toe curling, touch hungry foreplay!
So, this is where you turn the humble foot-rub into something so much more plus it's sexy as hell. Start by kissing the feet and ankles and then move toward a bit of toe sucking and tongue action. How you do it doesn't matter as long as you're into it. Remember I talked about attitude in the "Ultimate Oral Sex Guide", well, that's exactly what you need to aim for here. Plus, you need to talk to your partner and ask them what they like. It's not a mind reading exercise. When it's their turn to reciprocate let them know what feels good.
While you're using your mouth and tongue don't forget to use your hands, breasts and the rest of your body to massage his feet as well. Foot-play is an experience in sensation, touching, connection and pleasure. You can do it one at a time or take turns giving each-other pleasure. Just remember that men are visual and love seeing what you are doing. Bring on the sexy smile and lots of eye contact. They like to know that you are enjoying giving as well as receiving, so make it a well worth experience for both of you.
Enjoy everyone!

I once met a beauty therapist who told me her main male client assessed a woman's dating potential, and indeed whether he'd consider "going down there" on her, purely based on the state of her feet. Yep, that's right – this guy had a serious foot fetish and in his mind, if a woman didn't keep hers in tip-top shape, then by his logic, the rest of her would be a hazardous no-go zone too.
I guffawed loudly in shock upon hearing this – talk about shallow and judgemental – wasn't he interested in the state of a woman's brain, too?
Dating can be a minefield, in which you must carefully navigate partners' sexual quirks. So, what do you do when you encounter a sexual turnoff?
Communication is key, and definitely don't do anything you're uncomfortable with, says leading Australian sexologist Dr Nikki Goldstein.
"Partners have to tell each other what they like," she says, "but it always needs to be requested, never forced. And if it feels like the request is overstepping a boundary, it's time to call it quits."
1. How does your lady garden grow: Bush is back in a big way, according to women's tabloids, largely because a certain Gwyneth Paltrow recently admitted she "rocks a 70s vibe down there". So, can we women banish our brazilian waxers for good? Easy tiger – chances are, you may meet a man who prefers your bod to be hairless in the manner of a mannequin. Is it a deal breaker? Should you have to wax if you don't want to? Dr Goldstein says if you find the idea of a brazilian abhorrent, and he's always at you to wax, get a new partner who likes you au naturel.
2. If it's not on, it really ain't on: Does your new man whinge every time he wears a condom? If your partner won't take responsibility for your respective sexual health and birth control, it's high time you booted him out of your bed, says Dr Goldstein. "If a man is going to refuse to wear a condom then he has to accept you'll both be getting an STI test and entering into a monogamous, exclusive relationship," she says. "It's one of those important conversations that don't have to be awkward: 'Let's discuss this, so next time we both know what to do and don't have to stop mid-sex'."
3. Keep it fresh, keep it clean: Sex can be hottest at its most primal, but personal hygiene is paramount when dating, methinks – no one wants to get busy with a partner with a bad case of BO. So, how do you tell the man you're knocking socks with, to fix himself up, without offending? If he comes at you – post rugby match – do you spray him with Old Spice? Dr Goldstein agrees "grubby sex can be hot", but says be careful you don't damage a man's ego with this one. "Suggest a shower together, be calculating and clever to make this situation work for you."
4. Ladies need a warm-up: Is your lover always in a rush to get to Orgasm Town? Or is his idea of foreplay buying you a drink? "A lot of guys find foreplay boring because the focus isn't on them – it's selfish and lazy," Dr Goldstein says. "The rule of thumb is give her an orgasm before you enter her. If a woman is already aroused, she also has more chance to orgasm through penetration and come quickly. A lot of men don't understand women need a slow warm-up – and getting a woman off is a turn-on for both of you. If you put in the work, guys, you'll benefit too!"
5. Does he do a Harry Holt?: Does your new lover bolt from the bed after sex? The cool-down, or basking, is just as important as the warm-up – if you're in a committed relationship that is, says Dr Goldstein. "If you're having casual sex, you can't expect the snuggling afterwards," she says, "it's the one negative to the casual hook-up. But if you're dating someone, that behaviour's a little indication they are scared of commitment – people who don't want to stick around and snuggle and jump out of bed after sex, I would put money on them not wanting a relationship."

People around the world are enjoying a busy love life, having sex an average of 139 times a year. And some countries are racing way ahead ? the French are the most amorous having sex 167 times a year followed by the Dutch (158) and the Danes (152). Australians fared well having sex on average 144 times per year. Lovers in Singapore (110) and Thailand (112) have sex the least.
Almost a quarter of people globally (24%) declared they would have sex within a month, and 17% said on the first night. Half the people said they had a one-night stand and men are more likely than women to have a fling, but only just (54% compared to 42% of women).
Australian women revealed they wanted more foreplay (42%) and wanted their lovers to be creative, gentle and slow down when making love. Boys think women lack creativeness and also wanted more foreplay. 13% of men also revealed they wanted their partner to talk less in bed.
The car is still the most popular place to have public sex for Australians (68%) followed by the beach (44%), in the park (39%) and in the bush (36%). 10% said they had sex in a telephone booth.
Norwegians are more likely to have sex on the first night (32%) but it doesn?t always last with 72% admitting to a one-night stand.
The Durex Global Sex Survey revealed that more than two thirds (68%) would reveal their sexual fantasies to their partner but are less likely to own up to an affair (47%).
More than 40% of Australian men fantasised about having sex with a best mate?s partner while half the Australian women surveyed admitted to fantasising about sex with another woman. Globally, the most popular fantasy is sex with a celebrity with 65% of people admitting they?ve thought about it.
Okay, does he do the fast-forward through the stuff that turns you on? Well, he probably needs to learn to relax. The best thing to do is get him to lie still while you stroke, kiss and caress him for about 30 minutes. He mustn't move or even try to reciprocate. (Could be hard but he has to lie still). A sex therapist says that men who fail this usually rush foreplay. Well, don't panic cause this test is actually a form of therapy so make him keep doing it until he passes.
What Type of Couple Are You?
When do you have sex? If you have it first thing in the morning you are a couple that are comfortable with each other. If you have it at night you're practical and traditional. Having sex before you go to sleep means you are committed to this relationship. It actually means you prefer a more structured way of life. If you enjoy sex in the middle of the day you're definitely adventurous, free spirited and you are both rule breakers.
