Undying Love

Wedding Favors date back several centuries. Originally, they were only given by the upper classes. The Europeans, especially the Italians and French used to give out “bonbonnieres” to their guests. These
were fancy small boxes made of crystal, porcelain, or metal and sometimes decorated with precious stones. They
were filled with bonbons or confectionery delicacies which during those times were considered to be a luxury. Since weddings were thought to be a lucky occasion,
the gesture of giving wedding favors represented the bride and groom sharing the magical luck with their guests.

Later, the tradition spread to other social classes. Many couples began giving almonds beautifully
wrapped in fabric. It was believed that 5 almonds represented fertility, health, wealth, happiness, and
longevity. In more modern times, almonds were replaced by “Jordan Almonds” which are candy coated
almonds. They now continue to be a very popular traditional wedding favor.

In modern times, wedding favors have grown to become an important part of the wedding reception.
These may greatly vary according to culture, social stature, and tastes. Wedding favors are as unique as
each married couple. Some couples may continue to prefer the more traditional wedding favors, others
choose theme-related favors, and yet others decide to give practical gifts. Traditional wedding favors
would usually include either Jordan Almonds or other candies placed inside small boxes or containers or
wrapped with fancy fabric and ribbons. Some theme related examples would include a romantic theme,
Cinderella or fairytale theme, spring or garden theme, beach or summer theme, fall theme, winter or
Christmas theme, wine theme, and more. Practical wedding favors include coasters, chrome or silver
bottle stoppers and openers, letter openers, salt and pepper shakers, cookie cutters, candles, soaps, and
much more.

Today, all married couples can afford to express their thanks and give wedding favors to their families and
friends since there is such a wide variety to fit every style and budget.

Sometimes, wedding photography has become too standard - and boring! You can still get that standard wedding photographer, but you can also liven up your wedding album with some alternatives. Here are four tips for a picture perfect wedding.

1. Encourage your wedding photographer to take more candid or action shots than posed photos. At a wedding ceremony and reception where the official photographer took nothing but candid shots, the resulting photos look like they had come out of a dream, or were stills from a movie. If you can, get a photographer who has more experience with moving subjects.

2. Take note of which of your friends brought their own digital cameras and coax them to send you those photos they took of your wedding reception or ceremony by email or in a CD. You can also watch out for when they upload their photos into their personal photo blogs. People usually pose more cheerfully for their friends and family, rather than for strangers, such as official wedding photographers. These photos, while they may be amateurish, will also look more natural.

3. Buy a bunch of disposable or cheap instant cameras and leave them on the wedding reception tables before the ceremony. The idea is to get the members of each table to take pics of each other and of the celebration, adding to a candid documentation of the actual event. These photos are usually quite whimsical because the guests will be clowning around for the camera, adding life to your nuptials. You can also buy a lot of cheap cameras, customized to suit a wedding, and give them away as wedding favors, but with the stipulation that they must, during the wedding, finish off the roll of film inside first. Before going home, they leave the used rolls of film for you to develop later and add to your wedding album.

4. Set up your own photo blog where your guests can view your wedding reception photos online. There are a lot of cases when guests never see photos of weddings they’ve been to, which is a shame really. Encode a message board on your site so that they can comment on the photos and share their experience of your big day.

There are a lot of great techniques and lessons you can take from neuro-linguistic programming. For instance, you can use a wonderful trick called anchoring.

When you use anchoring on a woman, you take an outside object or emotion and use it to trigger a positive emotion related to you. The goal of anchoring is to take this object and find a way to get her to think of you when you’re not around.

Now in order to make her think of you when you′re not around, you have to link a shared memory to a positive experience shared by the two of you. Normally this memory is a fun date or a private moment that you had.

Here’s a great way to implement this technique into your dating life…

The next time you’re with a woman and you hear a popular song on the radio, start singing it…OFF KEY!

Now one of the principles for attraction is to establish yourself as a higher status person. But this is one of those RARE moments when acting like a slightly goofy person can actually help you. By singing a song in a memorable way you’ll be acting a funny manner. Furthermore, if you get her join in you’ll be having fun while singing badly.

The best part is this technique has helped you create…

A MEMORY!

When you share a currently popular song, you’ll increase your chances of having her think of you when you’re not around. Since music is an important part of everyone’s life, she’ll probably hear this song multiple times. And when she does, she’ll THINK OF YOU!

By sharing a popular song together, you can have her thinking of you in a positive way. This will then flood her mind with the memory of the fun times you have with her.

Any of the Wedding Speeches can bring about a strong inhalation of fear mixed with dread. The ones that often has the most stigma are the best man speeches. Possibly because we all have a story of where it all went horribly wrong.

I have one of those stories myself - at my own wedding with our best man and his speech. He completely and utterly choked, big time. And then as he tried to dig himself out of it, it got worse and worse until a well meaning guest asked him to STOP!

Fortunately though in recent years - it’s gotten easier because of the Internet and info sharing. You can now access excellent quality (as they are written by professional speakers/writers - who have also given more than one best man speech - so very qualified!) pre-written speeches.

And the beauty is that they do work across the board. That was my first reservation when my husband went on this journey when he had to give a best man speech - was what if they sound tacky?

Short answer - they don′t.

The jokes were unexpectedly great too - genuinely funny.

Fortunately you also get tips on delivery. But what I’ve seen is that because all the work’s essentially done for you - it becomes easier for the best man to get into the head-space of delivering it well.

Here are some important delivery tips - these are relevant for any speech you give (my qualifications for sharing this myself? I am also a professional speaker/writer).

Key Tips To Delivering Great Best Man Speeches

1. Be yourself - audiences are like children, they are excited and want you to do well. And if are not being real with them they rapidly go off you and will begin to show it with their body language and interest (and at worse some will display bad behaviors)

So an audience prefers someone who does stutter or makes mistakes than someone who gets up there and puts on airs and graces that are not them.

2. This is not about you! Often we get so caught up in our own fear and drama about delivering ‘the big speech′ that we take our focus off why we are really there - to do a job for other people. When we remember why we are there - and recommit to that, it seem to relax - as it’s not about us, it’s about them (the bride and groom)

3. Know your content. Do have something written down. Do have practiced. Don′t try to rote learn it if that is not your preferred learning style. Instead make some notes and have some highlighted bullet points (conversely don′t try to wing it - it doesn′t work for this kind of occasion)

4. Have fun and remember to smile! An audience responds to your mood and demeanor. Smiles are infectious - on men as much as women.

Those tips put to use will work for you, I assure you. And again remember - you do not need to put yourself through the stress of writing your own speech these days. And it will still seem authentic and as if it was written especially for your bride and groom.

The condition of the Pedophile today is the same as the condition of the blasphemer 200, 300, 400, or 500 years ago. He is outcast from society, branded with the marks of infamy, detested from every social class and every nobility. To the children, they say he is heartless. To the adults, they say he is merciless. And to the old, they say that he is brutal. In every crevice of the world, there is no sympathy for lovers of our youth. It is widely broadcasted throughout every television and radio program that Pedophilia is equatable with rape — that if one below the magical age of 18 were to have sex with some at or over the age of 18, it must be a forced act, that it is the deplorable thing we call rape. It is impossible for them to believe that someone under 18 — even though with the very tools for sex readily available — could possibly consent to sex. To those who are not bondaged to this uncivilized belief that youth lovers are rapists, it is quite easy to understand that court cases prosecuting for Pedophilia are simply prosecuting an individual for sharing affection physically.

To outlaw sexual activity between adults and children is perhaps one of the most irrational actions of any legislative branch. In this writ, it believes it is both capable and needed in governing the personal relationships of the people. It finds itself to be intervening a sort of injustice. But what sort of injustice has there been? When two individuals consent to do something together, when they harm no others, how can this be called an act of injustice? There will be pleas made by iniquity to justify their Xenophobia, their absolute fear of breaking custom’s laws. They will say that children are incapable of making a choice for sexual activity — that, by some writ of human DNA, until their 18th birthday, every question concerning sexuality is blurred into some unrecognizable form. However, this supposed fact is highly emphasized on smaller child who may be 12 or younger. They will claim that such children are incapable of consenting to sexual activities at all. However, such naive thinking is rather typical of those who adhere to the dogmas of their time. Anyone who has any sort of familiarity with children understands that children are fully capable of consenting to certain activities. They may choose to act they wish, selectively playing with certain toys, or choosing one food over the other. Once sex has been explained to them, there can be no doubt that they would be able to consent to it with knowledge in mind. However, it has even been the work of the Conservatives to disallow knowledge of sex, to claim that sex questions themselves are inherently sinful! These advocates of making information illegal are only oppressing freedom of thought, and thus curtailing every freedom that we have!

The authorities will make every possible public mark about his actions, save for the Scarlett Letter, and when the sex criminal has been harassed, beaten, and abused by the so-called good-hearted community, once this is done, the authorities will look the Pedophile and say, “That man is cruel and heartless, deserving of no affection, deprived of all beauty.” Think of that! They will throw on to him the burden of guilt while they themselves endeavor only to cause suffering. Megan’s Law, for example, requires a Pedophile convict to give notice of his name, address, and crime to all people who live within a three block radius, using the methods deemed appropriate by probation officer, including, “signs, handbills, bumper stickers, clothing labels, and door-to-door oral communication.” This is no longer a case of sexual exploitation. It’s a case of incredible masses of uneducated, unintelligent people making oppressive laws. When things have come this far, it is no longer a battle between the youth lovers and the Authoritarians, but a battle between the Humanitarians and the tyrants, a battle between compassion and depravity. These laws are not only opposed by the lovers of youth, but the lovers of affection. To what sentiment of humaneness can one appeal to when proposing such a law? There can be none. And so this law, Megan’s Law, is just a barbaric sentiment that arose from the ancient scaffolds, the dismembering of hands of thieves, the imprisonment of those in debt — it is simply barbaric and cruel. Opposed not only by our brotherly Pedophiles, but also by anyone who has any sort of emotion of kinship with their fellow human beings.

Like the blasphemer, though, the Pedophile is civilized and produces good things for our world. The infidels and heretics questioned what was popularly believed, relieving from the minds of men that they need to fear an afterlife. And so today, youth lovers work to give the minds of men and children the peace of knowledge that pleasure is not to be abhorred, that happiness and joy are intrinsically valuable and good things. Those who oppose Pedophilia are only attempting to relinquish one taboo from the minds of our society. Instead, they work to cause suffering and to degrade those who hold that adults and children may have sexual relations between each other. Yet those who defend Pedophilia will continue to assert that forced sexual acts are an abomination, a cruelty which cannot be replaced. Pedophilia is not at all about forced or coerced sexual activity. Pedophilia is about freedom and the liberty to govern one’s own body without harming others.

Still, though, the assertion will ring throughout the halls of injustice that Pedophilia is rape under any condition. They will claim that, judging by the years a person has existed on this planet, that this scale is perfect for determining exactly when they are ready to use their own bodies for their own will. I can say this of rape — forced sexual acts are horrible, whether between two individuals of the same age or of a different age. I could never excuse such a brutality on the grounds of any philosophical assertion. Some may say that Pedophilia should be outlawed entirely because of the few incidents of rape, but then it should follow that all sex should be outlawed because of those few incidents. And the legislators fail to understand that rape occurs, regardless of what the laws say. Outlawing Pedophilia only deprives human beings of the right to govern their own bodies without harming anyone around them. I must oppose age-consent laws as I oppose any form of tyranny which works on the assumption that liberty is unnecessary.

And so, to oppose Pedophilia is to oppose justice and liberty. To say that a child or an adult has no right to govern their own body, even if they cause no suffering in their actions, to say this is the worst form of brutality. It makes it illegal to show affection physically, it makes it a crime to express compassion, it villifies those who desire to give the kiss of warmth to the youth of our world. To the man who has offered his body and his affections to children, the authorities will call him a rapist, they will throw him in jail, and upon release, they will force him to inform those around him of his activities, relegating him to abuse and harassment. This can be defined aptly as the rogue state — a government which holds that sex and love are illegal. Just as it was illegal for the races to engage in sex with each other, today it is illegal for the ages to engage in sex with each other. This is but the worst of crimes — to call sex and love a crime. It may be true that the love between a man and a child will forever remain a mystery in the hearts of people. It may be true that physical affection and warmth will forever be lost in the abyss of ignorance. It may be true that justice will fall victim to merciless brutality, that affection and kindness have no place in society, that considering everything of value, liberty cannot be found — but it is the heart of the Humanitarians and the lovers of youth and compassion to oppose these possibilities with every ounce of strength that can be mustered.

For Life,

Punkerslut (or Andy Carloff) has been writing essays and poetry on social issues which have caught his attention for several years. His website punkerslut.com punkerslut.com provides a complete list of all of these writings. His life experience includes homelessness, squating in New Orleans and LA, dropping out of high school, getting expelled from college for “subversive activities,” and a myriad of other revolutionary actions.

I think that the ‘Bedroom’ has mostly relegated itself to Sleeping and/or TV and then sleep. It’s time to wake up the libido and those forgotten embers of sexual desire.

Leave your job at work and when you get home give your spouse an ‘honest’ heart felt kiss & hug. These are things a lot if us have managed to forget to do.

Sexual desire & stimulation are (or should be) a part of our daily routine. Sex is healthy. Sex is a way of expressing our love, relieving those pent up tensions and re-connect with your mate.

Viagra stayed in the headlines for years as help for ED. Drug companies are just now realizing women want to enjoy sex too! However it is this writers belief that it does not always have to be drug induced or invasive in any way. Viagra has the potential to make men go blind and/or have a heart attack. Not good.

In my research, Oxytocin (aka the ‘Love Hormone’) is the drug of choice especially when it comes to Sexual Arousal.

Both medical journals and history suggest women actually have an Oxytocin ‘button’ if you will, better known as ‘Nipple Stimulation’. Both Medical Journal’s & history, state it is the first line of defense in bringing on child labor, lactation, and sexual arousal primarily as well as other states of well being such as stress relief. In all of these ‘states of being’, nipple stimulation is recommended in order to start the body’s natural production of Oxytocin, which in turn starts contractions, the production of milk and sexual arousal.

The general populous tends to think of nipple stimulation as a direct correlation to sexual arousal *only*. To suggest to a woman she stimulate her nipples is rather hard in most cases, simply because her mind is on the primary task at hand (child labor, lactation & sexual arousal - the later, especially in long-term relationships).

While drug companies have created a synthetic oxytocin primarily used to induce labor via IV, it should be noted that it has to be a constant feed. Once disconnected, the synthetic oxytocin fades away fairly quickly.

In pursuit of a woman’s version of Viagra, one pharmaceutical company is trying to create an inhaled version of synthetic oxytocin. Here again they are finding that while it does create a sense of trust, bonding and sexual arousal, testing on both men and women indicates it is still short lived - because it is synthetic and not constant.

Researching this phenomenal peptide hormone (Oxytocin) shows women can produce higher amounts of Oxytocin and reap longer lasting benefits from this natural production. While men tend to get an Oxytocin spike during intercourse, it is believed that the testosterone release alone makes them more content, and the Oxytocin spike maybe diluted by the male hormones.

God’s gift to (most) women, our nipples. An Oxytocin ‘button’ if you will. The key is the stimulation of these ‘buttons’. Of course there are several ways this can be accomplished using fingers, licking, sucking, etc.

Since the beginning of time, women have worn jewelry (for one thing) both to feel sexy and to attract the opposite sex. The FDA has recently approved a pliable decorative breast acupressure device (no needles) for sexual arousal. The wearer has 100% control of the size and the tension, leaving the hands free and the mind to blissfully wander.

Rekindling sexual desire does not have to be drug related.

One non invasive, non prescription, non drug, non vibrating toy that has recently hit the market in another arena found it had a “wanted” side effect. A patented sexually stimulating system.

The patent reads in part “….This is as close to any aphrodisiac presently known to man.” Quite a statement for non piercing nipple jewelry.

This product has the ability to make you forget the world outside and spice up the bedroom blues. No kidding!

Creating a personal ad for online dating services is not difficult, but how well you write your personal ads will often be the difference between success and failure in online dating. All the rules that apply to advertising in business still apply, and those who define and attract their target audience will be the successful ones. There are many critical items that will draw interest to your ad such as the headline, and how the ad appeals to the interest of the target audience. There are also factors that will determine how well your ad matches with potential mates; including how well you describe your values and how honestly you portray yourself. Writing a personal ad should involve some serious thought and soul searching, as well as some in your face marketing tactics.

Generally speaking, the most important part of any ad is the headline, and this can also be true for online personals. If your headline fails to sell your target audience, they will not read further. The first step in creating your online personal is to imagine your ideal mate. Now consider what your ideal mate is looking for – not what you are looking for. Headlines need to grab attention, but they also need to isolate the target audience, and get them to read further. The best way to do this is to present a catchy title that shows your potential partner why they should be interested in you.

References to sex and cute entendres are best avoided in online personals. While headlines do need to be eye-grabbing, they also need to isolate the type of partner you are looking for. Using sex or overselling personal looks can attract far too many random people that don’t represent good mate candidates. Research other headlines, and copy those that demonstrate the benefits you offer to your ideal mate.

Describing yourself is a critical piece of developing your personal ad. Many people have very naïve impressions of how others see them. Rather than relying on what you think of yourself, it is recommended that you ask others to describe you. Ask friends, relatives, or even exes how they would describe you. Don’t disregard their opinions just because they don’t match with your own. If you discover that others describe you far differently than you see yourself, be prepared to accept that they are probably right. Correctly describing yourself requires soul searching – not just to formulate who you think you are – but rather to understand how others perceive you, and how this is consistent with whom you think you are. Perhaps the greatest mistake people make when describing themselves in online personals is failing to create a description that is consistent with the way they are perceived by others.

Describing what you’re looking for in a mate is another central point of creating a solid personal. While you should rely on others’ advice to describe yourself, you have a lot more insight into what specifically you are looking for. Try to paint a portrait so that somebody reading the ad will think, “Hey, that’s me”. Most importantly, be sure to include information on the values and beliefs you are looking for in a mate.

The use of pictures can be very important in online personals. Research by AOL suggests that online personals are 8 times more likely to be considered when a picture is present. Using a picture is definitely advised, and ideally a recent, accurate picture should be used. Many people are touchy about their looks, and the natural instinct is to put forward the most attractive picture. It is best to reserve this urge. Having a picture is very important, but an overtly flattering picture is likely to get things started off on the wrong foot as people will constantly be upset that you didn’t fulfill their expectations from the picture. There is no way to hide physical appearance once you meet face to face. It is far better for daters to be presently surprised by appearances than displeased.

Writing an online personal ad can be a rewarding experience of personal discovery and creative energy. But accuracy, honesty and a sense of values are essential ingredients of successful ads.

Is “real” love possible to attain via computer? There are many factors that come into play when two people fall in love. Some cannot be described in a definitive way such as chemical attraction. Other factors are qualities that we find in another person that compliment our desires of a “perfect” mate. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, caring, a fun loving personality and good morals are just a few of these qualities. Many woman and men alike, have “fallen in love” over the internet. They have done so, without the possibility of truly seeing any of these qualities in the other person. So before we put our hearts on the line, we must ask ourselves is it truly possible to love someone via computer?

The majority of people who believe they have discovered true love without actually meeting the other person, have done so by implementing a type of instant messenger or video conferencing. We will focus on this element, as the element of a webcam can be misleading. When two people find each other and begin to chat online, one of two things happens. Either they do not feel a connection or they do. If a connection is felt, this can quickly escalate into chatting every day. They believe they have discovered the excitement that one feels when meeting someone new. However, they have not really met, have they?

It is a fact that many people are lonely. This is not new to us, many single people are busy with work, single moms are busy with their children and it can be very daunting and difficult to find a meaningful relationship in the “real” world. With personal computers in the majority of every household, many people turn to this internet environment when they are lonely and wish for someone to talk to.

It is important to realize that the world inside a computer is not, and never can be, the real world. When craving acceptance, love, caring, attention and a relationship, one can easily be led astray into the art of misperception. Often, this misperception is not done on purpose. Both people involved in the online relationship do not even realize this is happening.

The truth of the matter is this: the key elements of a true and loving relationship cannot materialize through a computer. You may wish for them, daydream of them and tell yourself they exist, but they do not. Starting with physical and chemical attraction: a person may feel they are attracted to the image on a webcam but this in no way is the actual person that exists. Anyone who owns a webcam surely understands that it is very easy to show yourself in a good light via cam. If you feel that you are completely attracted to the other person, ask yourself this: Do you entirely show your true self on your cam? Webcams are an image of you, a moving image and very far from what you are perceived as in person. If you are attracted to someone via cam, ask yourself, have you stood close to him or her and taken in the presence of his or her body? Do you love the fragrance of their cologne/ perfume? Do you love the feel of their kisses? When they hug you, is it done strongly or softy? Do you love those hugs? When you touch their hair, do you admire the feel of it? The smell of it? The answer, of course is no. You have no idea what this person is like in person nor how you feel physically and emotionally when touching them.

Qualities such as honesty, loyalty, integrity, caring and general overall mood are extremely important to a strong and loving relationship. If a person possesses these qualities, it can then free you to respect the person and set a ground for trust and a feeling of safety. Someone who is in love online, may debate that they have seen these qualities already. To this, I ask; Are you there in the house when they get home from work and see what they do with all of their spare time? Are you witness to their work ethics? Do you sit around a table with their family and see the loving interaction? Have you gotten in an argument and have seen if the other person stays to talk or walks out the door in anger? Have you stood by them when they hear some unpleasant news and are witness to how they react? Have you greeted them at the end of a long day, a day that tested their nerves, and then received a hug? Did you cook and then burn dinner and they told you it does not matter, they love you for trying? Did you forget to run an important errand that you promised you would, and they told you not to worry? The list is endless. The conclusion is that there is no possible way to know of how this person will interact in a relationship without physically being with them.

Love can be confusing. Craving a relationship or marriage can send people in a blindness that prevents them from understanding the misperception that occurs online. Again, this misperception does not need be by intention. The mere fact that there is no actual “in person” interface is what causes this misperception to arise in the first place. A person can be intrigued, in lust, in “like”, or in a false reality of love when online with another. Only in spending quality time face-to-face, will the true colors of the other surface. It is at that time, that one should decide if they are in love.

Christian lovemaking can be practiced as a celebration of God, life, and the incredible relationship you have with your Christian partner. Very few labeled forms of lovemaking can actually accomplish so much. It’s no wonder many Christian couples don′t brag or make a big affair out of their sex life. When something in life becomes so strong and special, and meets so many needs in the spiritual, physical and mental realms, then there simply is no reason nor desire to brag or boast about it. One misconception of couples engaged in Christian lovemaking is sometimes the notion that because of there seeming quiet disclosures that their relationship with lovemaking must be coated with an air of failure, problems, insecurities, jealousies, and embarrassments. Of course nothing could be further from the truth, and it can even be argued that Christians can be seen as one of the strongest practitioners of lovemaking due to the following factors:

1. Closeness to God/Closeness to one another. The common bond of God creates an umbrella which the Christian couple can merrily reside under, knowing they are safe and shielded from the many elements society has lurking out there. From temptations to corruptions, residing under the umbrella of God enables a Christian couple to live a strong, healthy, and sexually satisfying life, all in celebration of the closeness to God and one another.

2. Commitment to God/Commitment to one another. Commitment is an enormous factor which makes the dividing line even clearer. With so many individuals in society lax on conviction and commitment, the Christian couple have the advantage of practicing commitment day in and day out. It’s not some 8 week plan to stick with, it’s a lifelong commitment to God, to one another. These commitments expand further than God and one another; they are also committed to living a life of celebration, and part of that celebration, is indeed Christian lovemaking.
