The subject of what makes a great lover was being tossed around at breakfast this morning as carefree as sharing a jelly donut among friends. This question is often presented in and out of the therapy office. Most have an opionion, though this article is written from a consensus of woman’s points of view.So then, ‘What makes your lover great’?
FYI: Safe-sex practices are focused on also in this blog. Persons often take sexual health risks and don’t understand the consequences of unsafe sex. Previous health records and dating experiences should be disclosed to each other before embarking upon a new intimate relationship.
The delicate subject of what a Great Lover is all about is not simply stated. However, often times, whether out to dinner with friends or at a random event, I recieve many opinions on the subject, it seems that people love to talk about love! Especially the intimate details of what we all want in a lover!
I respect one of my friends ideas very much and she is a savvy woman of the world. She seems to believe that all men have the potential of being the ‘Great Lover’, its simply a matter of taking the time to care and not just being in it for your own personal pleasure.
Many women have opinions on what makes a Great Lover a Great Lover! So then, what are these women saying and what is the difference that makes the difference?
Not So Much Guy:
There are multii-dimensional ways to determine if the NSG lover is all about his own performance and pleasure. This is the my way or the highway guy. Don’t be guilted into unsafe-sex practices because this man’s little boy act prays on your mothering instincts. No condom, no nooky, its as simple as that!
The NSG man is all about himself. his own performance and pleasure. When you make a suggestion ,he sticks to his story and pressures you into his way or no way. Good sex between two mature adults is about sharing, communication, negotiation and most of all playfulness.
HEALTHY Sex Practices NOTE:
STDs:
Please beware of the lover that will insist on not utilizing safe-sex practices. If a new lover demands that he not use a condom because he “can’t feel anything”, I’m sorry to say that’s his problem, not yours. Don’t risk contracting STD’s or other sexually contracted diseases with this man’s power play.

Don’t risk contracting STD’s or other sexually contracted diseases with this man’s power play.
THE GL Lover:
The ‘Good Lover’ shows a level of responsibility. He knows enough to provide his own safe-sex protection. This man is “grown up all the way”, no adolescent games here. He knows what he wants and is willing to wait until you’re at that point also. By not being too quick to jump the starting gate on the first date, this guy knows the basic rules of no man-handling in the first 24 hours of relationship! This GL is able to play fair both in and out of the sheets.
The Elusive Great Lover:
Seriously, this man does exist although he is a rare bird indeed. The makings of a Great Lover depends on how healthy he is both mentally and physically himself. This man wants a partner who challenges and supports him towards being a more awake, present and open lover. This man is not into playing games and is ready for the work and play it takes to co-create an extaordinary relationship together. No one night stands for this man.

Lead used to be a primary material for water pipes in major U.S. cities, until the early 1900?s. It was so heavily favored because of its durability and malleability. Galvanized steel and copper eventually replaced lead, and copper pipe became the most popular material used in home water service and distribution in post 1950 construction.
Lead contamination was the top source of lead-related health issues before the hazards of ingesting it were known. The cause was pipe corrosion and erosion, and it raised stillbirth and infant mortality rates. Other plumbing or pipe problems are much easier to spot, but if you?re not testing for lead in your water, you?ll never know it?s there. You can find general information about lead contamination and how to test for it on the EPA?s website.
If you have lead in your water, it?s generally because of one (or more) of these: lead-based solder which used to be the primary way to join copper pipes, a lead service line pipe linking your house to the city or town water main, and brass (or chrome-plated brass) faucets. The U.S. Congress banned the use of lead solder containing greater than 0.2% lead in 1986. It also limited the lead composition of pipes, faucets, and all other plumbing materials to 8.0%.? As a result of this legislation, ?lead-free? brass legally can contain no more than 8% lead and plumbing installed before 1986 possibly contain higher levels of lead.
In older buildings and homes, the service line from the municipal water main to the house may be a lead pipe — something you should definitely confirm. Unless your piping has been upgraded in the past 40 years, it is probably galvanized pipe (iron with a zinc coating) which does not require lead solder to join the pipe. You may already know if your faucets are brass or chrome-plated, but if not, you might want to consult with a licensed plumber or take them with you to a local hardware store. CuraFlo??s website offers a brief history of lead materials in water pipes.
If you have lead contamination from your pipes, epoxy lining can be your solution. Once installed it is a barrier to lead leaching into your drinking water. The epoxy lining prevents the metal of the pipe and the water flowing through from coming into direct contact. This prevents the chemical reaction that causes pipe corrosion. Epoxy pipe lining eliminates and prevents lead and other metals (from your pipes) leaching into the water, as well as a host of other poor water quality issues such as: water that?s red, brown, blue or yellow, zinc or iron leeching in galvanized pipes causing a metallic taste, and bacteria that causes bad tasting water or water that smells.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (www.wbdg.org/ccb/ARMYCOE/PWTB/pwtb_420_49_35.pdf) and the U.S. Navy (stinet.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA327758&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf) have documented their use of epoxy pipe lining to prevent lead and other contaminants from leaching into drinking water.
CuraPoxy, CuraFlo’s epoxy, is certified to meet ANSI/NSF Standard 61 - the U.S. government?s standard for safe drinking water. This means that it?s certified safe for use in potable (drinking) water pipes up to 180 Fahrenheit (82.2 Celsius). CuraFlo?s epoxy pipe lining process prevents pipe corrosion and erosion, protecting you from lead in your pipes leaching into your water.

Young drivers car insurance is one of the many different car insurance products that are readily available out there today. It has opened the doors for younger people to get cheaper car insurance because they used to pay high premiums when on regular insurance policies. However, some young drivers just are not taking advantage of the wealth of products out there and are settling for car insurance quotes that could indeed be much cheaper than their current level. They can certainly be cheaper if the young driver in questions takes the initiative.
For example, young drivers can look around for cover as older drivers do. Comparing the various quotes that are available can save you a lot of money when insuring your car. In fact, it can save you hundreds over the years. The first golden rule is that you should never settle for the first quote. Although inexperience may be a good reason why some people do, actually doing that will rarely save an individual money.
Your choice of car will also affect the car insurance quotes that you get. The image of the car, acceleration and the top speed all have the ability to put your premiums up or lower them. As such, your initial choice should be a wise one.
There are other elements to young drivers car insurance that you can control though. These elements will lower your premiums no matter who you get quotes from. For example, every policy has an excess so voluntarily increasing that excess will label you as less of a risk. It is as if you are offering a bond to cover your own good behaviour.
A second factor is whether the car is in its original factory condition. Young people are extremely tempted to get modified cars instead of regular ones and this can also increase your premium. If you make sure that there are no modifications on it at all then you will keep your premium as low as possible.
Where you live also plays a part in reducing the level of your quotes. Although your postcode is a big part of it and cannot be helped, you can ensure that the security is as high as possible. You may have an alarm fitted and should always keep it in a locked garage overnight if possible.
One factor that many people do not think of when considering how they can lower their car insurance is how often the car is used and how many miles it is likely to do. Make an informed estimate of how many miles you will do and the lower the figure you declare, the lower your premiums will be.
The last factor is common sense and is also applicable to all drivers. If you do not have a full, clean driving license then your car insurance premiums will be higher than they would be if your had a clean sheet. Avoiding speeding and other infringements of the law will definitely make car insurance more affordable.

There are certain situations where an expert mentor can be an invaluable asset to your internet marketing business. While there is a monetary investment required, a properly chosen expert mentor can literally pay you back many times over. Remember however that the ultimate results are dependent on the amount of time and your willingness to work directly with your expert mentor. Working with a coach is very different from sitting in a classroom. You are putting your business and your reputation on the line. Achieving the best ultimate outcome requires that you work hand in hand with your coach.
It is critical that you have complete confidence in the ability of your expert mentor. Complete thorough reference checks and investigation before ever coming to an agreement. It is reasonable to expect that your expert mentor is concerned about achieving the best possible outcome for you; so take the time to discuss their plans and strategy for coaching you prior to initiating a mentoring arrangement. Once the actual expert mentor program begins you must graciously accept all feedback and direction that is given. You are responsible for doing exactly what is asked without question.
Once you find that accepting feedback and direction and moving forward to take action as directed doesn’t cause a terrible outcome, everything else will be much easier. Make a commitment to go along with each bit of direction exactly as requested. If there are ever questions about what an instruction means, stop and gain clarity before taking action. Establish clear plan that includes deadlines for completing all tasks that are assigned by your expert mentor. Then complete each and every task exactly as assigned by the deadline. Success or failure using an expert mentor ultimately falls on your shoulders. A focused effort by both you and your coach is critical to achieving the desired results.
Keep in mind, too, what kind of expert mentoring you need for your internet marketing business at this phase in your development. There are three basic points at which you may need an expert mentor: the startup phase, the insurmountable problem, and the moving to the next level phase.
Expert mentors can greatly impact the performance of your business at each phase of development. However there are very different problems and issues being faced, so make sure your expert mentor is well-equipped to handle your special circumstances.
A business that’s just starting out needs all kinds of guidance, particularly if you, the entrepreneur, are not experienced in running businesses. You need advice on taxes, employees, technological problems, content and product management, and of course marketing techniques, among other things. Your start-up process, without the advice and guidance of an experienced professional, may be anything but smooth. An expert mentor can help you guide your internet marketing business to a smoothly-accelerating start.
Then there’s hitting the wall - the insurmountable problem that you just can’t quite work through. It might be a saturation of your market, or it could be dealing with international law, figuring out how to migrate from a legacy to a new database system, or ramping up your understanding of using video and podcasting as part of your marketing program. An expert mentor can help you get through the hard spot, saving you time and ulcers by taking you by the hand and walking you through the steps you need to take until your problem has been solved.
Finally, that critical point when you need to move your business to the Next Level. That could be franchising, or going beyond electronic media, or serving a rapidly-growing customer base. The expert mentor for this level will be more expensive - and worth every penny, as your rapidly accelerating business threatens to escape your control. A year in, you’ll look back at that critical point and wonder how you could have done it without your expert mentor.
There is not an internet marketing business out there that doesn’t need help at some point. Utilizing the right professional expert mentor when your business needs help could be the best thing you ever did for your business.
To your internet marketing success!

It is inevitable that you will undergo intense cravings when trying to quit smoking. Because everyone’s body responds differently to nicotine withdrawal, there is not one solution that works for everybody. Everyone has there own method; however, a few particular techniques have been proven to be effective for a large group.
Smoking cigarettes is a habit. Even when you quit you still desire the habit. During the first two weeks, the chemical products of smoking are flushed out of your body as it reacts by attempting to revert to the status quo. This is the result of a biological mechanism at work in a number of circumstances.
Homeostasis is the technical term. Your body is attempting to sustain equilibrium. When it experiences a drastic change, it tries to revert to normal. If you can acknowledge that this is a built in mechanism, you can use it to your advantage.
The anxiety and guilt that accompanies giving up cigarettes make the effort of quitting all the more difficult. People ask themselves if they can manage not smoking and keep their resolve. When you are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, the normal reaction is to revert back to smoking, since that is what has worked in the past. It’s a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.
The first couple of weeks, as these physical changes begin to take place, are the most difficult. Realizing that these things are out of our control, though we are still responsible for the commitment, can help get you through that trying time.
Avoid, if possible, any stress-inducing factors during that time period. If you are just beginning a new job, don’t try to embark on a quit-smoking program. If a child that is close to you is preparing for a serious medical procedure, don’t try to start this long-term commitment.
Give yourself plenty of healthy distractions.
Have little bits of delicious fruit ready. If you feel like smoking, just eat one instead of lighting up. Choose a fruit that is not just sweet or bland, but also tangy. Pick the ones that you enjoy the most, but orange and pineapple seem to work well.
When you start to crave a cigarette, listen to one of your best-liked songs. Then, sing along with that tune, feel happy, feel the beat, and keep your hands and mind occupied, forgetting about that desire for a smoke while doing whatever it was you were doing. Allow your favorite songs to help you during that time. Choose something that will make you feel better. Don’t listen to downgrading music when you are trying to be upbeat.
Small exercises can keep your hands busy. This could be as easy as using a stress-relieving hand spring or squeezing a tennis ball. Eventually, you should aim for exercises involving the entire arm, shoulder and back. This has two benefits, as it both eliminates the harm caused by cigarettes as well as helps restore your circulatory system.
Engage in an activity which requires intense concentration and suits your personality and circumstances; such as trimming a beard, fixing your hair to perfection, drawing a sketch or solving a math problem. The activity should be short, but be sure to leave little room for stray thought - including thoughts about that cigarette that you so desperately want to smoke.
Soon, the cravings will be less and less. Over the next couple of months, they will randomly occur. Remember the things you learned the first few weeks, repeating the rituals, if necessary. Consider how good you’ll feel in the long run. Soon it will outweigh a smoke’s short-term advantages.

My dad’s birthday was coming up and we weren’t sure what to get him. He’s not very good at telling us what he wants. My brother, sister and I looked around and couldn’t decide what to do for him. We ended up finding out about a golf outing, that had old pros that he could play with.
As soon as we found out details, we knew it was the perfect gift. My father loves golf; he plays every day! If he’s not playing, he’s watching it on television. He says he’s “breaking in” his driver, but we know better. I think he’s addicted! So we signed him up for the tournament, and he was completely surprised. He had no idea, and was thrilled!
The golf tournament rolls around and he and his friends are playing together in it. The tournament is an all day event followed by a dinner and a silent auction. The dinner was excellent; he loved the food and was thanking us. He then proceeded to the silent auction to bid on whatever he set his heart on.
My mother ate her $25 worth of desserts throughout the evening. She said the food wasn’t as tempting as everything on the dessert table. She went along over to the auction table carrying what looked like three slices of cake, maybe even one slice of cheesecake.
Dad placed a few silent auction bids. He was hoping to win an autographed picture of one of his favorite sports figures, some shirts and a few other items. He also found a string trimmer that he thought would come in handy for an additional property he owns. He was so excited after bidding; it was as if he’d already won the items!
My mom does the same thing as my dad only she does it with gift baskets. I remember her stating that this place had so many different types of gift baskets to choose from. She seemed to look at wine gift baskets the most. My dad loves wine and food, therefore she wanted to get him something he truly loved for his birthday. She bid on several gift baskets full of assorted wines and meats. She wanted to buy a gift basket for my father, as well as for my relatives, during the upcoming holiday season. In my opinion, it’s a very good idea for the money.
When the silent auction ended, my mother had won her gift baskets. She was very excited. Then it was time for the live auction. The first item up for bid? The string trimmer my dad wanted! Unfortunately, he didn’t win, but his disappointment didn’t last long. He had been having such a great time. Something like a simple auction item wasn’t going to bring him down! It was a great day, and I know it’s a birthday gift he’ll always appreciate.

Surprise your dad with a lovely custom gift basket! Send him a sincere thank you, with baskets of food, expressing your sincere gratitude. It is sure to make a lasting impression.

You might not have even thought about it; however, wine auctions and online wine sales are now big business. Offline wine sales is something you are probably already aware of, but there are online wine sales which are becoming much more popular as time passes. If it’s for private companies getting rid of end of ranges, overstocks and the like or charities doing fundraising efforts through auctioning off bottles of wine, there are bargains to be had by average consumers with a bit of an adventurous soul.
Auctioneers have already forecasted that over the coming year, there will be a quiet, but steadily expanding market for wine auctions. Wine auctions and online wine sales have become the perfect method for people to purchase otherwise hard-to-find or impossible wine gems at a fraction of the cost they would normally pay.
The publicity that the oldest and most expensive wines sold at auction garner, might give many consumers the idea that wine auctions are for connoisseurs and the very rich. In most cases, this is a mistaken assumption. In some of the better-publicized wine auctions for charity, you can make a charitable donation and in return receive a delectable bottle of wine.
Wine auctions are usually live events like those you have seen in the movies, but in reality, they are also a great deal of fun. With the exception of high-profile sales like the spectacular events with notables like Andrew Lloyd Webber, most auctions are actually quaint and lovely little gatherings that have a cozy, friendly quality surrounding them. After the trade bids which account for about 70% of the auction, the remaining 30% is made available at bargain prices for anyone who is interested.
Well-heeled benefactors are willing to bid in the thousands for a single, prized bottle of wine, but wine auctions are also an excellent source of local donations for various charities. When it comes to online wine auctions; there is the ability to “hammer” prices after the conclusion of auctions and anyone is allowed to browse the databases looking for selling prices of the wines sold. This gives you great background information for when you attend a live wine auction whether it is online or offline.
Wine auctions are not only fun, but also they are exciting as well. At times, this can lead to impulse buying with a punter paying a higher price than they normally would. Research is the key to staying in the bargain range and out of the fleeced range. Avoid getting carried away. Auctions bring fine, old wines to market that ordinarily stay in wine cellars until they go bad.
Wine auctions have become the preferred place to sell these wines, when you can often get a bargain. Auctions are typically set up around lunches for obvious reasons and most of the heavy bidding occurs during the middle of the day. What a way to enjoy your purchase!
