Dr. Neil Clark Warren, Founder
Dr. Warren is a clinical psychologist and author of eight books on love, marriage and emotional health. During 35 years of counseling thousands of married couples, Dr. Warren observed a set of characteristics that seemed to be present in all successful relationships. He called them the 29 Dimensions of Compatibility. After extensive research involving thousands of married couples, Dr. Warren confirmed that these dimensions were indeed highly predictive of relationship success and could be used to match singles. Ten years later, eHarmony's compatibility matching is responsible for nearly 4% of U. S. marriages.*

Xian (Taoism)
Xian (Chinese. ?/?/? ; pinyin. xian ; Wade–Giles. hsien ) is a Chinese word for an enlightened person, translatable in English as:
"spiritually immortal; transcendent; super-human; celestial being" (in Daoist/Taoist philosophy and cosmology)
"physically immortal; immortal person; immortalist; saint" (in Daoist religion and pantheon)
"alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life ; one who practices longevity techniques" or by extension "(alchemical, dietary, qigong ) methods for attaining immortality " (in Chinese alchemy )
"wizard; magician; shaman" (in Chinese mythology )
"genie; elf, fairy; nymph" (in popular Chinese literature. ?? xian jing is "fairyland", Faerie )
"sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse" (folk etymology for the character ?)
"immortal (talent); accomplished person; celestial (beauty); marvelous; extraordinary" (metaphorical modifier)
Xian semantically developed from meaning spiritual "immortality; enlightenment", to physical "immortality; longevity" involving methods such as alchemy, breath meditation, and T'ai chi ch'uan. and eventually to legendary and figurative "immortality".
They are immune to heat and cold, untouched by the elements, and can fly, mounting upward with a fluttering motion. They dwell apart from the chaotic world of man, subsist on air and dew, are not anxious like ordinary people, and have the smooth skin and innocent faces of children. The transcendents live an effortless existence that is best described as spontaneous. They recall the ancient Indian ascetics and holy men known as ??i who possessed similar traits.1994:376
According to the Digital Dictionary of Buddhism. Chinese xian (?) can mean Sanskrit ??i ( rishi "inspired sage in the Vedas ").

Darkness to Light Stewards of Children Training
Stewards of Children is a child sexual abuse prevention program based on Darkness to Light’s 7 Steps to Protecting our Children that teaches adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
Darkness to Light is a national nonprofit headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina whose mission is to empower people to prevent child sexual abuse . Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children is the leading adult-based child sexual abuse prevention training program; third-party evaluated and shown to increase awareness and change attitudes and child protective behaviors. In addition, Darkness to Light assists communities with implementing and sustaining grassroots community based child sexual abuse prevention initiatives.
Program Description
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by their 18th birthday! But we can do something to stop it. Stewards of Children is a prevention training program that teaches adults how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program is designed for organizations that serve youth and for parents and other individuals concerned about the safety of children. It is based on “7 Steps to Protecting Our Children.”
Step 1: Learn the facts – Realities, not trust, should influence your decisions regarding children.
Step 2: Minimize Opportunity – If you eliminate or reduce one-adult/one-child situations, you’ll dramatically lower the risk of sexual abuse for children.
Step 3: Talk about it – Children often keep abuse a secret, but talking openly can break down barriers.
Step 4: Stay Alert – Don’t expect obvious signs when a child is being sexually abused.
Step 5: Make a Plan – Learn where to go, who to call and how to react.
Step 6: Act on Suspicion – The future well-being of a child is at stake.
Step 7: Get involved – Volunteer and financially support organizations that fight the tragedy of child sexual abuse.
Program Format & Target Audience
Stewards of Children is a 2.5-3 hour training program led by an Authorized Facilitator who has been trained by Darkness to Light. It is appropriate for groups of 15 – 35 professional and/or nonprofessional adults, but may be offered for larger groups depending on the facility. Participants watch a DVD presentation integrating commentary from sexual abuse survivors, experts in the field and other concerned adults all providing practical guidance for preventing and responding to sexual abuse. The training combines a facilitator led discussion about important issues in child sexual abuse prevention with an interactive workbook designed to facilitate discussion, reinforce key concepts, and serve as a resource guide and personal action plan for resolving child sexual abuse.
Program Research
Stewards of Children is the only nationally distributed, evidence-based program, proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and change child protective behaviors.
Our Mission: To Empower People to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
Our programs raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of child sexual abuse by educating adults about the steps they can take to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse.
Please contact Anny to schedule Children’s of Steward’s training or to arrange a Prevent Now! meeting for your community.
What would it be exactly.
Well, as most of you know I'm in a traffic jam with. life. Like my crappy computer. As apparently by my, lack of "contenthood" . so I've just been thinking about random things like the categorization of this whole THING we got going on here.
NOTE: This isn't real-talk I'm just spouting my thoughts.
So obviously I am okay with a little of what I consider " navel torture " which, to me is, generally making someone uncomfortable by playing, licking, poking, etc. with someone else's bellybutton. Yet, on the terms of throwing the word "Torture" in there it can also be associated with someone of the things I don't like: Real world penetration: Meaning the breaking of skin or muscles with sharp objects, or object inserted with blunt causing long lasting damage to the body and in some extreme cases, blood, gore and violence. Google definition: "the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain." I mostly, like to take advantage of the fact that people's bellybuttons are usually sensitive since people don't usually have their navel's touched often so any kind of blunt contact, like poking, will evoke a reaction like, for example, a strange face, scared face, a little shriek or heavier breathing from the shear discomfort. Basically enduring something you've never done before in your life.
So I'm kinda wondering. what would fit the way I describe navel torture compared to how the rest of the community describes navel torture? Mostly, because if I were to say "I like a little navel torture" it would immediately be associated with the things I mentioned earlier.
To Sum Up my first question is:
1. What would you name this view or navel torture? a . Same Way (Just different). b. Different Way (Something else entirely). Or c. What ever you think (Your opinion).
Also, under my description of navel torture I have as a sub-category, the navel bugging thing. or some small-ish creature enter's someone else's bellybutton.
I've been thinking about it and what do I truly categorize that as? As I describe before I dislike the action and/or depiction of someone or something (depending) being brutalized in that fashion (even if they do it to themselves; selfinflicted). YET, the whole Bugging thing (the way I do it anyways) is depicted as penetration yet without any blood, gore or. ya know, stuff like that.
So I thought: " What do you call something going inside of something else without natural laws of nature or physics applying?
Wait. It's VORE!"
I thought for a moment that it's kinda a type of vore. Though, vore is generally depicted as Micro/Macro I EAT YOU, Micro/Macro I STEP ON YOU AND MAKE BLOODY MESS, Equal Scale I EAT YOU, etc. etc. Even in the navel department Vore is more like someone being shoved into someone else's bellybutton, cuz it's just unrealistically big (which I'm fine with depending on the pic), their extremely big and the little person is in their bellybutton for some reason (which is okay too depending on the pic) or to digest them (which is a detail that kinda has me on edge).
Bugging is usually when a Too-Scale human, humanoid, or creature with a navel, has their bellybutton penetrated but with no sign of bleeding, broken skin, or gore. Like in the Matrix, where the navel is depicted as a completely unrealistic orifice like the mouth, ear or nose. A place for something to slip inside without causing damage, albeit causing a little physiological damage in the real world or the strange feeling of having untouched nerves being met for the first time, no real damage like in the real world were something would have to break the skin to do something like that.
Put simply, like a secret door, for a bug or tentacle, inside the body.
THOUGH, a story or pic where the character is being depicted as having a really deep navel, large enough for a small or large bug to fit inside. even though it's considered Bugging. but NOT VORE .
Personally, I'm not a big fan of mainstream vore unless it's decent art and " Soft core ", as they say, but it's just not my thing.
So to sum up my Second question to you:
2. What would you categorize the Bugging (just Bug to Bellybutton, not any other kind of vore)? a. It's Vore (It's all Vore). b. Some is some isn't (can be half and half) c. It isn't Vore (It's something different entirely). d. Whatever you think (Your opinion).
Of course, according to the community there is a wide array of fetishes I have that I've centered focus around the bellybutton but these were just some I was thinking about.
On a Completely Separate Note:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 78,000 Pageviews.
I would of never thought that my page would get that many views. ever. I seriously don't even know how though, but it's awesome!
Thanks so much for the FAVES, COMMENTS and WATCHES. they mean a lot to me and I luv your for it!
So the fact that I can't post anything for you saddens me. but I can't do anything about it until circumstances clear up.
Until then I'll be a like a DA tourist just going around on the side lines just looking at stuff.
I don't know, maybe I'll have to resort to stories. but I'm a terrible writer. xD
You'll see me post art when it does clear up!
Just to fill you in the computer I'm using right now can't hold much data.
If I try to draw, sketch. or even hook up my pad, it's going to crash more than a paper airplane made by a 2 year old.
Thanks for reading and giving your opinions too!
