You have the power to change these statistics. You have the power to stop child sexual abuse.
I can show you how.
The Statistics:
- 1 in 3 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18. (The Advocacy Center)
- 1 in 5 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18. (The Advocacy Center)
- 1 in 10 students will be a victim of sexual misconduct by school personnel per the US Dept. of Education.
- "More than 90% of individuals with a developmental delay or disability will be sexually assaulted at least once in their lifetime." (Valenti-Heim, D.m Schwartz L.)
- 90% of child sexual abuse victims know the perpetrator in some way. (U.S. Dept. of Justice)
- 30% by family members, 60% by people the family trusts
- 1 in 5 children are solicited sexually while on the Internet before the age of 18. (National Children's Alliance: Nationwide Child Abuse Statistics)
- Kids who have been abused are at greater risk for becoming victims of human trafficking / CSEC – Commercially Sexually Exploited Children.
- A typical pedophile will commit 117 sexual crimes in a lifetime. (National Sex Offenders Registry)
Consequences of Child Sexual Abuse:
When we choose to not train our staff and ourselves, when we don't report suspicious behavior, when we don't speak up when someone is crossing a boundary or when we don't listen to our kids we are killing their future potential. Victims of child sexual abuse suffer these consequences:
- Perform lower on cognitive ability, academic achievement and memory assessment
- 3 to 4 X higher percentage of substance abuse
- Significant increase in truancy and drop-out rates
- 2.2 X higher percentage of teen pregnancy
- 3 to 5 X delinquency and crime
- PTSD including 2 x higher percentage of anxiety, depression, and suicide
- 2 x higher percentage of obesity and eating disorders
- 30% more likely to have diabetes, cancer, heart problems, stroke or hypertension
- Life expectancy is 10 – 20 years less than people who have not been abused
Economic Impact
As a tax-payer you should know the average lifetime cost per victim of child abuse is $210,012* costing the U.S. billions annually. These expenses are largely paid for by the public sector - the taxpayer.
The costs include:
- Healthcare costs
- Criminal justice costs
- Child welfare costs
- Special education costs
- Productivity losses
*Fang, X., Brown, D., Florence, C., Mercy, J. (2012) The economic burden of child maltreatment in the United States and implications for prevent. Child Abuse & Neglect, 36:2,156-165
The Solution:
95% of sexual abuse is preventable through education. (Child Molestation Research and Prevention Institute). It is not cost prohibitive or time consuming so there is no excuse for not training all staff and volunteers of any organization that works with youths.
Mandated Reporter training is not comprehensive. It focuses on reporting and barely mentions prevention. Youth-serving organizations should be trained on prevention annually. Prevention training protects the students, staff, and the organization.
In the book, The Socially Skilled Child Molester, Psychologist Carla van Dam, says that predators deliberately choose places of employment and to volunteer in organizations that do not train their staff. Predators deliberately target people who are too uncomfortable to discuss child sexual abuse prevention, too shy to speak up, too worried about being polite or hurting feelings to speak up when boundaries have been crossed. There are way too many options for predators to choose from, if you are trained they will quickly move onto an easier target.
Prepare Them, Don't Scare Them!
We teach our kids about stranger danger, drug use, earthquake preparedness, stop-drop-roll for fire prevention, and active shooters on campus. Odds are greater by far that they will be sexually abused in their lifetime than any of those occurrences. Child sexual abuse prevention should be treated like all other safety matters.
Safety 1st Program
Safety 1st Program is for schools and youth-serving organizations to show parents and the community they are dedicated to putting Safety 1st.
Events & Conferences
I offer private and customizable trainings for schools and youth-serving organizations. I offer public trainings for parents and individuals. I speak at conferences and community events.
CSA Prevention Training
Child Sexual Abuse is predictable and preventable. Take my training to learn how to predict, prevent, and react to child sexual abuse. This is NOT convered in CA Mandated Reporter Training. That is reactive, my training is preventative!

The images of his watercolor paintings jumped off the page at me when I read the article about Martin Taylor in International Artist Magazine. If you click the link to the magazine, you can page through to get to Taylor's pages and look for yourself!
He broke up his images into interesting shapes of color and then enhanced this design by using white acrylic to create lines around the shapes. I liked it well enough to try my hand at it myself. So far, I've just drawn the image onto my full sheet of watercolor paper, and painted just a few of the pieces. I'll let you know how this turns out. So far, I love the idea, and I'm excited by the start.
I've been thinking about inspiration and things that inspire me. What inspires you?
I wonder if maybe, just maybe, it's possible that the key to inspiration is the openness and willingness to BE INSPIRED. What do you think?

Eden Hazard believes he will be fit to play in Chelsea's Premier League clash against Tottenham this weekend.
Chelsea will move seven points clear at the top of the table if they take the spoils at Stamford Bridge this weekend as they're the only team in the top four to play a league fixture this weekend.
Hazard has been the star of the show for Jose Mourinho's men this season, scoring 12 goals in the league, outscoring all three of Chelsea's struggling strikers. His form could be crucial factor in the title chase.
But the 23-year-old sustained a worrying ankle injury seconds into Belgium's 2-2 draw against the Ivory Coast on Wednesday night.
Belgian boss Marc Wilmots had confirmed that a tackle from Cheick Tiote had damaged Hazard's boot but hadn't twisted his ankle.
He told reporters: "His boot was damaged, but Eden hasn't twisted his ankle."
Hazard himself has reiterated those claims and is confident of recovering in time to take on Spurs.
"It hurt, but I think I can play this weekend," Hazard told Het Laatste Nieuws.
"After 20 seconds I got a kick. A nice welcome, but I'm not worried about the injury."
The Chelsea star went on to admit that he has felt the effects of a tough Premier League season but also claims that he doesn't need that much rest to perform at the highest level.
"I'm not that tired," he claimed. "In the first half against Fulham I felt it a bit, but in the second I found my flow back. I don't need that much rest, I'm at my best when I can play a lot of games. But I've to be careful that I don't burn myself.
"I'm in super form. Something you see in the stats and in my consistency. I see similarities with my last season in Lille."

Ari Shine - Cooler Than Me
The drums are an instant Monday wake-up call! As the band join in, the promise of a great week of music is an eartaste pleasure. "We are merely players in your night-time nursery rhyme. You're cooler than me, city girl. Way smarter than me, pretty girl. You're better than everyone you know." I've never written this before, but it really fits here – rollicking fun! Red Buttonish harmonies add the spices to the tasty lead guitar parts. "Dancing like a dream, it's a bohemian extreme. I know what you mean when you say I'm not nearly as old as I seem." Shoutout for (You Can Use Me As A) Flirtation Device. Ari Shine

Genre Lesbian, MILF, Older/Younger, Toys.
Director B. Skow
Cast Anastasia Pierce, Aryana Augustine, Ariella Ferrera, India Summer, Anikka Albrite, Charlotte Stokely, Alice March.
Duration 172 minutes
Date of Production January 2013. Released 19 April 2013.
Condoms None
Extras Glamour and XXX stills, plus trailers to other Girlfriends Films movies, series promos and GF's website info, but not the NetSkirts site. Why not?
A/V Quality Filmed in HD on 3 Sony XDCAMs, presented in 16:9 widescreen. No technical glitches seen or heard. Standard GF music on title screens. Well lit, but some shots were compromised due to physical layout, e.g. in scene 3, a shot was missed because there was no room on that side of the bed.
Preview Any porn series with 10 editions has to have something going for it. All the previous entries were Recommended by XCritic reviewers. I picked this title based on the cast, namely, Ariella Ferrera, India Summer, and Anikka Albrite. It doesn't make much sense to cast a multiple award winner like India, and leave her off the cover. The concept of a social networking site for Thornhill's lesbians is a good one, but seems a little flimsy to base a whole movie on, let alone 10. This is another flick with 4 scenes and 7 performers. Anastasia Pierce, who I've only ever seen in web trailers is the lucky double feature. She's a mature Swiss import known for kink/fetish work. If you're looking for bodies, they're here in all shapes and colors. There are petites, slims, a MILF, and a couple of classic porn-barbies; not to mention two blondes to complement all the brunettes. Breast lovers will be pleased with Ariella and Aryana, while ass afficionados, like myself, have Anikka to ogle.
The View The opening scene introduces Anastasia Pierce, with her friend India, going to visit Aryana Augustine, who Anastasia had connected with through the NetSkirts.com dating website. Anastasia is not is not my cup of tea, although she could pass as a sister for Magdalene St. Michaels or Zoey Holloway, both of whom I like, go figure. As the three are chatting, Aryana's sister Ariella comes home and joins the group. When Anastasia and Aryana retire to the bedroom, the other two tag along, and stay to watch the entire tryst. This was a slowly developing encounter, as Aryana was playing the submissive and Anastasia had quite a few kinks to try out. Cuffs, a vibrator and a strap-on came into play. (There was only about 4 or 5 minutes of strap action.) Anastasia seemed to prefer the purple vibe while Aryana seemed to reach her peak twice thanks to her new friends oral ministrations. I was more pleased with this scene than initially assumed, and the kink meter jumped a few notches when India led Ariella over to the bed and tried to get the sisters to kiss. That got my attention, and surely increased the anticipation for what was to come as Anastasia and Aryana left the room to the other two.
MILF of the year and Unsung Siren of the year from XRCO (2012) are the only credits needed to introduce India Summer. Ariella Ferrera might be the dopest thing out of Medellin since Pablo got killed. This scene was the best I have seen in months. Ariella came through with her patented leg shake, a few times, in fact, and India, as always, came through with her sophisticated milfy wantonness. I don't want to go into too much detail to spoil it, so I'll say that if you don't like this scene, you probably shouldn't be watching girl-girl porn. This is what it should look like when two pros with history together put on a show. Too many orgasms to keep count and glistening from sweat at the end; Holy lesbians, Batman!
This third scene had a blessedly short intro dialogue, which you will understand, only after viewing the next scene.. Big booty, blonde, Anikka Albrite was sad and crying about something irrelavent (explained later) and and Anastasia was there to make her feel better with consoling licks to her sweet spot and some energetic tribbing. Not a fan of Ms. Pierce, I concentrated on Anikka, and that beautiful derriere. The cameraman fumbled when he shot the trib session from the wrong angle, namely, from the front of Anikka, instead of her captivating rear. I got the impression that a fair amount of footage of Anastasia oralizing Anikka was cut, for no reason I can understand. There were basic moves and too few great shots to get me very excited, kind of a let down after the preceding tour de force, but what are you gonna do? In the end this was a scene that ended up as just a single, when more focus on the younger, prettier girl could have squeezed out some extra bases.
The intro to the fourth scene chronologically precedes the intimate moments of the third scene; this bad continuity is an editing problem that hurts the overall product. Another issue was casting; Charlotte Stokely would have been a more visually appealing choice as Anikka's younger sister, due to a greater degree of physical resemblance; although, I'm not sure if Alice March, a more petite brunette, could have carried off the lesbian mentor role as well. I can wholeheartedly commend the acting here; in and out of the bedroom, it played more like reality TV than innuendo filled porn-speak. This scene was a good one; the film's second best, despite any major fireworks. The tender nature of the girlplay matched the exploratory tone of the lesbi-curious intervention scene opening. Charlotte and Alice did the I-go-down-you-go-down dance, after the preliminary necking, and ended with a nice tribbing that looked to have more steam than the movie had time left.
Final Thoughts - Review A good flick that exceeded my expectations and actually has me interested in the development of things to come in Net Skirts 11.0. Anybody voting or nominating Best Girl/Girl scene needs to check out India and Ariella here. Annika's ass saved the third scene and I'll be on the lookout for more from Charlotte Stokley and Aryana Augustine. GF needs to put some more work into the NetSkirts website to develop it as a marketing tool for this series. Another suggestion is to list information about the sensual aids they use. Net Skirts 10 finished one or two meaningful extras and some editing work short of an HR. I can recommend this to couples or singles with no hesitation. A very firm Recommended rating is what this movie deserves, one scene was great, one was o.k. and the other two just didn't do it for me.
It's XCritic, not XShill!!

Nature is a unique space where we can come and renew ourselves. It returns us to the beauty of our surroundings and to appreciate the creatures that live with us on this beautiful planet. We must protect and preserve our natural ecosystem for the generations that will come after us. What excellent way to do this than creating an animal-friendly zoo in the community?
Here are some of the reasons that make us benefit in a community nature zoo:
The zoo can be a great way to introduce animals to children who are next in line to be stewards of the world around them. Through zoos, the children can have a direct experience seeing the wonder and importance of the animals.
Ideally, wild creatures should be out in the wild. Unfortunately, some factors make living in their natural habitat dangerous for these animals. The zoo can serve as a temporary home for the animals where they will be loved and nourished. Still, the aim is to release these beautiful creatures to their natural home when it is safe for them.
Supporting a Nature Zoo in your community is a worthy cause to take. Kindly check our website for more information on how you can help.

I know, I know… things have been pretty quiet here, this week. But that's only because I've been writing elsewhere!
First, I started two new freelance articles for LearnVest (the first of which should be up in early March). Then my good friend Carrie asked me to rewrite the post about how I started budgeting for her to share on the Debt Movement blog. Finally, I started brainstorming post ideas for the next two months for my own blog. With less than six weeks left in Toronto, I want to spend less time writing and more time seeing my friends here. If that means mapping out post ideas and making Sunday the only day I write, so be it.
Aside from all the writing, a couple of other cool things happened this week. On Tuesday, the first interview I did for the Toronto Star was finally posted online (only 5 months later, haha). And on Thursday I was lucky enough to get a couple hours off work so I could attend a luncheon keynote addressed by Peter Aceto, CEO of ING DIRECT Canada. You can expect a recap post next week but for now I will say that Peter should be an inspiration to anyone in a leadership role. It was also great to see the ING team again, as well as chat with both Adam Mayers (Toronto Star) and Ashleigh Patterson (Yahoo! Finance Canada).
Finally, I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but I did get to witness a couple of things yesterday that made even my little heart melt. From an old man giving his wife chocolates on the subway, before sneaking in a quick kiss, to a friend receiving a picture of someone holding a cut-out heart with "Be My Valentine?" written on it, to reading this tear-jerker, it was hard to hold back a smile all day. It also gave me flashbacks of some of my favourite Valentine's Day dates, including one where one of my exes and I just laid on a dock, gazed at the stars and talked for hours. I miss being able to see the stars… (39 sleeps until I'm home!)
It's a three-day weekend here in Ontario and I don't have many plans, other than to finish up some freelance work, write a couple posts for the blog, and go for a hike with Jaime Stein. Once I get my writing all done, I'm going to crack open the Nikon D3100 I bought with the Best Buy gift card I won before Christmas. Oh, and I can't forget about my Skype date with the fam on Sunday, to celebrate Baby Sis' 19th birthday! (Crazy!)
How was your week? Any big plans for this weekend?

Hump Day Report: Depends On What Your Definition Of "Fairness" Is
Are you ready to hear about fairness until you want to puke? I hope so, because make no mistake – Barry will make this election about class warfare and "paying your fair share." It's typical Alinsky….ignoring the true causes of our problems while ginning up a fake narrative. Of course, it helps if the narrative is emotive and strikes at the core of people's decency. After all, who doesn't want to be fair?? But the liberals/"progressives" define "fairness" quite differently than conservatives do. I heard Greg Gutfeld say the other day that the difference between conservatives and liberals is really quite simple: conservatives want the poor to be rich and liberals want the rich to be poor. (Lib leaders are OK with that as long as they personally as Nomenklatura can keep as much wealth as they want.) So in preparation for the onslaught of fairness speeches to come, check out this editorial from the Wall Street Journal. It uncovers the hypocrisy of 0bama's "fairness." (Shaka to Susie for the link.) Stephen Moore: A Fairness Quiz for the President – WSJ.com
The rules don't apply – how is this "fair?" For Dems, No One 'Plays By the Same Rules' | FrontPage Magazine " From game-rigging health-care waivers and crony-capitalist "green energy" boondoggles, to class-warfare tax policies and different sets of standards based on one's race and/or gender, America has at least one political party dedicated to the idea that a meritocratic society can only be achieved, ironically as it sounds, by lots of Americans playing by different sets of rules."
The "fairness" in 0bama's budget. The strange budget priorities of Obama: Subsidizing car purchases for the 1% over poor children and airline safety « Hot Air "If we are going to spend money, why are we spending it to subsidize the purchases of vehicles by people averaging $170,000 a year in salary rather than on commercial flight security, which is an actual federal responsibility?"
It's Aloha Friday – time for NewsBusted!
It's NOT the economy, stupid? Medved to GOP: Make Campaign About Big Government, Not the Economy | CNSNews.com "Instead of asking, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" they should ask, "Is government bigger now than it was four years ago? Is government spending more? Is the debt worse?" Medved told the audience."
Looks like law school grads aren't better off. A Bunch of Young Lawyers are Suing Their Law Schools Because They Don't Have Jobs – Yahoo! Finance "A total of 75 alumni have filed at least 15 class-action lawsuits across the country, accusing their law schools of inflating employment and salary data to attract prospective students." Ha Ha Ha – the irony of this one really made me laugh!! (Shaka to Lee for the link.)
Like father like son. JFK's teen mistress in explosive new tell-all – NYPOST.com "In her explosive new tell-all, "Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath," Alford, now a 69-year-old grandmother and retired New York City church administrator, sets the record straight in searingly candid detail."
Final Thought: "Fairness through leveling is the essence of Obamaism." Charles Krauthammer
(NOTE: Lots of traveling in the next couple of weeks so I won't be blogging as regularly. Gotta work so I can pay my "fair share.")

In this chapter, the author recounts the journey of Israel from Egypt to their camp on the east bank of the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
This chapter is basically the end of the Numbers story. There are three chapters that follow, but they are more of an appendix than anything else, covering a few miscellaneous topics related to the division of the land.
The structure of this chapter also shows that it is a conclusion of sorts, as we metaphorically walk through the journey from its beginning in Egypt to its end (so far) on the borders of the promised land, east of the Jordan. We really have gone quite a ways, both the Israelites in the story and you, the readers of this commentary. We began this journey two books ago when the Israelites were suddenly and precipitously dropped into freedom, sent wandering through the Middle Eastern desert in search of a home. Back then Moses was incredibly insecure and reluctant to lead the Israelites. We have seen him grow tremendously as he is now a very authoritative figure. Back then the Israelites were rebellious, worshiped other gods and sought to return to slavery in Egypt. I guess not everything has changed.
The Israelites started their journey with the first Passover, which we read about in Ex 12. Many of the names in the journey should be familiar to us: they started out in Rameses (Ex 12:37), journeyed through Succoth (Ex 12:37) and turned back to Pi-hahiroth (Ex 14:2). Then they passed through the sea (Ex 14:22), camped at Marah (Ex 15:23) and Elim (Ex 15:27). They journeyed to Rephidim (Ex 17:1) where they fought the Amalekites. From there they travel to Kibroth-hattaavah, the "graves of longing" where the people died from their lust (Num 11:34), and went on to Hazeroth (Num 11:35).
Then there's a long series of names we have never seen before, before the people reach Kadesh (Num 20:1). Aaron dies and the people march on through a few more obscure campsites before reaching Moab and the Jordan.
Overall, I think this chapter is kinda like a genealogy. It contains a list of dozens of obscure names (like Rissah or Kehelathah) that never appear before or after in the bible, or even non-biblical sources. Generally, the majority of these sites have not, and cannot, be positively identified because there is simply no other material that cross-references their locations. The reason why I think this is like a genealogy is that it is a long list of obscure names that is usually of profound interest to scholars and linguists, while of little interest or significance to people like us who are reading the bible for personal study.
As a result, I don't think there's much in this chapter worth discussing. Some of the names can be cross-referenced to various stories (like what I did above), but rather than teach us anything new, this chapter is really just a reminder of the past and should be a time of reflection.
Verse 50 breaks off from the "journeys of the sons of Israel" and gives us the command that all the inhabitants of Canaan must be killed, their idolatrous religions destroyed, and the land distributed by lot.
I will start with a minor point and then move on to the more interesting subject. The discussion of inheriting the land by lot is similar to Num 26:52-56, which similarly divided the land by lot, according to the "number of names". We can imagine the land will be divided both into tribes by size, but within each tribe individual clans would receive land by the number of names, and within each clan individual families would receive land by the number of names. So it is a hierarchical breakdown that is scaled by the number of people in each unit, but then randomized (drawn by lot) to ensure that everyone is treated equally.
Moving on to the more significant point, I think this is the first time the Israelites have been commanded to destroy the Canaanites, but for various reasons we could have seen it coming. For one, God said that the descendants of Abraham would not return to Canaan until the fourth generation because the "sin of the Amorite is not yet complete" (Gen 15:16). This means that the return of the Israelites is a means of punishment for the sins of the "Amorite", i.e. the inhabitants of Canaan.
For another, we have seen numerous battles as the Israelites head towards Canaan, starting with the Amalekites in Ex 17 and continuing with the two Amorite kings in Num 21 and the Midianites more recently in Num 31. Also, the LORD deliberately took the Israelites through the desert, rather than the more populous coastal road, because "the people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt" (Ex 13:17). I discussed on several occasions the militaristic language of Numbers itself, such as the military census of Num 1 and the trumpets of Num 10. All of these things show a heightened expectation of warfare.
So while this is the first time we are told the Canaanites must be exterminated completely, it shouldn't entirely surprise us. After all, the Midianites were effectively exterminated when the Israelites slew all their males. The risk of leaving any Canaanites alive is presented here as well: "they will trouble you in the land in which you live" (v. 55), because of the exact same reason as the Midianites: the idolatry of the natives would guide the Israelites into a syncretic idolatry of their own. This should also not surprise us, because the Israelites have struggled with syncretic idolatry for nearly their whole history, starting definitively with the golden calf of Ex 32, but probably while in Egypt too (it is very likely the Israelites worshiped Egyptian gods while in slavery).
Killing all the natives is a matter of survival for the Israelites. If they do not, and get ensnared in the "sin of the Amorite", then the Israelites must be punished in the exact same way that "the Amorite" would be punished. "As I plan to do to them, so I will do to you" (v. 56). This risk is emphasized in verses 52-53, which discuss the inhabitants' many "figured stones", "molten images" and "high places", the many centers of idolatrous worship. The LORD used similar terms in Lev 26 when he threatened the Israelites will grim destruction if they "do not obey me and do not carry out all these commandments". In that chapter he spoke of destroying the Israelites' "high places", "incense altars", and "idols", which are symbols of their adoption of Canaanite worship. That chapter is a very detailed description of what the Israelites will suffer if they do not destroy the Canaanites.
This leads us to roughly two conclusions. First, the native inhabitants will definitely fight back against the Israelites, as the limited resources of the land force an inevitable conflict between the invading Israelites and the local Canaanites. This isn't so much a battle for land to live in as it's a battle over the scarce resources, soil, grass and water, of this semi-arid region. The Israelites have prepared for this conflict and at this point it seems unavoidable.
However, just because a conflict is inevitable, and presuming an Israelite victory, doesn't mean that the Canaanites will be wiped out completely. It is possible that only some of the Canaanites will be killed, with the rest either maintaining their territory or integrating into Israelite society (whether through marriage or slavery). This is what the LORD is warning against.
Second, any surviving Canaanites will "infect" the Israelites with idolatry and turn people away from the LORD. We know the Canaanites worship idols and we know that the Israelites have a strong tendency to also worship idols, even without other people to encourage them. We also know that the Moabites led the Israelites into idolatry earlier in Num 25, which is exactly the risk as they move into Canaan. If the Israelites allow this to happen then they will lose their sovereign protection through the covenant and furthermore, incur the wrath of the LORD, as they were warned in Lev 26.

Every once in a while I learn something good about good people. While listening to a talk radio show yesterday, I heard a black woman talk to the host about the ugly thing Don Imus said about most likely fine, achieving young women Imus did not even know. It was demeaning both to the women and their race. Imus was no doubt quoting rappers he had heard many times, but there is no useful purpose in repeating such talk, no matter who says it.
The mother who called, said that Imus' remarks did not affect her one way or the other, except to show that Imus may be an idiot. In other words, Imus' words reflected on him, not anyone else.
When asked how the woman's daughter might feel, she said something the wisdom of which struck me like a hammer. She said, and I wrote it down, "Imus does not carry her joy in his mouth." She said more in a few words than all the "tut-tutters" put together in the days following.
I am sorry that in 2007 people are still saying the things that Imus repeated. But I am glad that it brings out the innate wisdom of people and that they can share it with a large audience.
Don Imus can be fired, but he will only go to another network and re-establish himself. He is that popular. But maybe some people will wake up and decide that derogatory talk diminishes those who say it.

Written on his T-shirt:
" The art of Kama Salsa"
" Kama n. a sensual pleasure of desire"
"Salsa n. a social dance that results in Kama"
With respective images:
" Dancers in the dark
Awaken the salsera
Man of discipline
A rush of blood
The joy of salsa
'S' hits the spot
The recliner
Temptation with a twist
The big dipper"
He taught various ways of leading the lady, how to go about single spin or double spin, how to guide her in a social dance where you don't have enough space etc etc. most important, he told to have eye contact with the partner which most people don't. I am sharamless so I always catch the eyes of my partner even if he tries to avoid :-)
Hope the pushing and pulling by some of the galloping guys reduce.
Many complimented 'J' and me. They said we are the most pleasant among girls and we do not frown when they miss steps or do not lead us properly. I am glad I didn't give my blog address to them.
There was audition for female dancers. Many came with their parents. Appreciate the parents. I wouldn't have gone if we had to give auditions. Surprised how I was asked in the first place.
They have to strain every sinew of mine to eke out a performance from me. I am downright lazy and keep forgeting steps.
We were in the class from 11 am. to 6.00 pm. Lunch was a fruit juice and kulfi. If I go at this rate, people will need a microscope to see me.
R and N came out in their Scorpio and asked if we would care to join them for a coffee. Pat came the reply,"No thanks, some other time" in a chorus. After they left, we stood staring at each other wondering why we turned down. Both of us were tired and damn hungry and had to wait for long to get an auto

complete with artificial limbs and a beating HEART
*It (or he) also features a functioning circulatory system fitted with a beating heart
*The bionic body is made up of 28 artificial parts from around the world
*Six-foot tall Frank can walk and talk with the help of a remote control
In a scene that wouldn't look out of place in a science fiction blockbuster, researchers have unveiled the world's first walking, talking bionic man complete with circulatory system and a beating heart.
Called Frank, short for Frankenstein, the six-foot robot is made up of artificial body parts donated by various research centres from around the world, has 200 processors and is covered in over a million sensors.
It was designed by Dr Bertolt Meyer from the University of Zurich, built by a team of engineers in London and is currently on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington as part of The Incredible Bionic Man exhibition. Dr Meyer is a social psychologist and has a bionic hand.
Frank, short for Frankenstein (a name which is taken from a Mary Shelley novel in which the main character Victor Frankenstein creates a living 'monster' from human parts), is fitted with 200 processors.
It (or he, if you would) has 70 circuit boards and 26 individual motors. The 'skin' of the robot features more than one million sensors while a functional circulatory system, including a heart, powers it from the inside. Frank's face is made of silicone and is a replica of Dr Meyer's. "The goal is not to replace the human being," Dr. Meyer told a press conference on Thursday.
"The ultimate goal is to provide technology to fix a broken person." Dr. Meyer quipped that "A female bionic companion would be great for Frank. Unfortunately, I'm missing a few other important parts." Meyer is a social psychologist and was the model for Frank because he has a bionic hand himself. A total of 200 processors fitted to Frank are powered through 70 circuit boards and 26 individual motors.
The skin of the robot features over one million sensors that can detect touch and changes in temperature. The London engineers built Frank using 28 of 'the most advanced artificial body parts available today from laboratories and research centres around the world' as well as implantable synthetic organs.
Frank's face was then made of silicone and is a replica of Dr Meyer's. Engineers designed the Bionic Man to enable several of its 'human' parts to operate without a body. For example, although the robot is fitted with limbs, it doesn't have a brain to make them work. Instead it is controlled remotely through a computer connected by Bluetooth.
Frank is capable of walking and can talk and answer questions with the help of this human controller, via a laptop. Frank's heart and other organs in the circulatory system were built by Alex Seifalian, a professor of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine at University College London, using a specially-designed polymer that builds implantable organs of any shape.
Other artificial body parts featured in the Bionic Man include a heart from SynCardia Systems in Tucson, Arizona, ankles and feet from BiOM in Bedford, Massachusetts; a lung from Haemair Ltd. in England; ears from Cochlear in Australia; a pancreas from De Montfort University in the UK; and a prototype kidney from the University of California, San Francisco

Since then, I've had four occasions to call them for replacement parts/hardware (small parts that are not listed on the website). All four times they have sent me the parts for free with free shipping. I'm not saying they'll do that for every customer but that's been my experience four times now and i love companies that do that and stand by their products!

Do You Required Aid Dressing? Try These TipsDo you consider yourself to be a fashionable person? If not, block print long dress are not alone. There are millions of people out there who aren't exactly gifted when it comes to fashion. Not everyone knows fashion knowledge, but that can be easily remedied when you use the following fashion tips from the article below.
Add a belt to your outfit if you want to add a little color or an accent piece. Belts are available in an endless array of colors and designs, so the possibilities are literally endless. If you wear skinny jeans, choose a bright belt to look elegant and fashionable.
When choosing clothes, think about what season you are. If you look good in reds and oranges, you are a "summer" and probably will look good in any warm color (like yellow). If you look good in blues, you are likely a "winter" and look good in whites and greys as well.
Lip gloss is a girl's best friend! There is nothing worse than dry, chapped, uncomfortable-feeling lips. That's where a pretty gloss comes in! Whether you like the super-glossy look or something a little more subdued, lip gloss is a great way to keep your lips looking and feeling their best throughout the day.
You can easily dress up your jeans with a fancy top and a nice pair of heels. Colored jeans don't work for a more formal look, however.
Skinny jeans are what is in style now. These kinds of jeans are snug around all areas of your body, from you waist and rear end, all the way down to your ankles. The best part of these jeans is that they look good with pretty much any pair of shoes!
One piece of clothing that never goes out of style is the simple black dress. A black dress looks good on anyone because it produces a slimming effect, which is something all women want. You can find this dress in any discount store, but if you want one that will last, you need to search elsewhere and be willing to spend more money.
Be cautious when it comes to sizing. Don't purchase something that you haven't tried on. Sizes aren't just based on set measurements anymore. They are different depending on the brand. If you buy clothes online, use their size chart. Find out their return policy as well.
You can't go wrong with a pair of shades. If you have had a rough, sleepless night, or you just don't feel like putting on makeup, shades can be your best friend. By wearing them, you can hide your puffy eyes, and they always add some style for any event.
Use your accessories to add color to your outfit. This is a great tip if you happen to have a large stock of earth tones or blacks and whites. Get a bright-colored tie, purse, or shoes depending on who you are and what fits you. It is a great way to stand out without having to be very brave.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Instead of going with the norm, play with your wardrobe. Try pairing a stiff skirt with a soft and flowing top. Combine dress shoes with your favorite casual pair of jeans. Often the most unusual pairings can turn out to be the most stylish choice.
If you are in your 40's or older, know that you can still fashionable for your age. This does not mean that you should dress the way you did when you are 20, but you can make wise fashion choices. For middle-aged women, V-neck tops with cardigans or blazers with a pair of dress pants is a nice look.
When it comes to shopping, be sure that you compose a list before leaving to help you make the most of your time. This is important so that you can focus on what you need to purchase and help you stay away from items that may be a waste of money and closet space.
Spend money on your shoes. You may be tempted to buy shoes as cheaply as you can, especially if they look good. However, buying a quality pair of shoes means that they will last a long time and won't fall apart after just a few wearings. They are also made of better materials and are more comfortable on your feet.
When you make an effort to look and dress great, people notice. They know you care about yourself, and they appreciate that you do not hurt their eyes. Now that you have read this article, you should have a mind full of easy ideas on how to look absolutely awesome!

Isaiah 43:1 But now, this says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you,
O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have Called you by name; you are Mine..."
Names are important. One of the most important things a new parent does is name their child. Your name identifies who you are, and who you belong to.
And then a legal certificate is prepared, notarized, and put on file for all to know what family you are kindred. Parent and child are legally bound.
Adoptive parents understand the process of adoption paperwork and the steps to make it all legal: Notarization, Authentication, etc. and it's all delivered and filed with the proper seals and signatures.
When God redeemed us, His children, and named us, not only did he give
(Isaiah 43:7),
He wrote it down, notarized and authenticated it by sealing it in blood...
it wasn't our blood, it was HIS blood, to make us His own.
We are His Children, those who call Jesus Christ Lord! We have been redeemed! And what did it cost to redeem us from our orphan status? It cost Him EVERYTHING.
So just as you, a good parent, would give everything for your children, God has given everything to bring you in as His own. He will take care of you.
My prayer today:
You are my Father, my Daddy. You love me. Today, as I spend more time with you and less time gleaning useless information from the internet, I pray to know you more deeply and praise you for redeeming me!
You have named me with Your Name... I am Yours!

I like simple ideas. Especially ones that unlock feelings of joy. Or thoughts that energize you.
Like this thought from Ashley Smith, for example:
"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."
This quote is about looking for what's good. When you look for beauty, you find beauty.
The problem is that it is more common for the human mind to dwell on problems.
Your mind is an excellent problem solver. Your mind tends to obsess about any problem that gets in the way. This can be quite useful unless there is no easy solution, in which case we experience a building feeling of stress as one unsolved problem builds on another.
The solution for boosting energy and happiness is simple.
Our minds can only focus on a very small number of things at once. The more often you purposefully focus your mind on the good things in life, the less mental space is left for your mind to dwell on problems.
The result? You feel happier and your energy level rises.
Happy and energetic women are attractive to men. But even if every man on earth disappeared tomorrow, you would benefit tremendously from the happiness and the higher energy regardless of how it may benefit your dating life.
Let me recap. Living life full of passion is fun. Guys dig it too. You get there by changing the focus of your thoughts. Which brings us to my final, and most important point…

The same old things sound pretty great. I hope things stay busy and fun for you guys.
Well my week has been pretty good but really a terrible ending to the weekend!
We had a great week preaching and everything seemed to be going to plan to be honest. Teaching and finding and really working hard to open this area well. We have been finding people it seems in like every corner and the members seem really, really excited to help us work and to get going. My comp is making me a little trunky with all the talk of home but other than that I am doing great jaja
Then we got to Sunday...we had stake conference and they were going to transmit it to where I am because we are kind of far away. The transmission never ever got here. We literally sat waiting at a dark computer screen for like 40 min until they just said that there is no signal and those that wanted to travel to the city could but if not well to bad jaja. So that was terrible to be honest.
Other than that things seem to be progressing normal, time is flying by faster and faster every change. We are in the 3rd week of this change and I am not even sure what happened. This change is 7 weeks though so March is going to pass by like nothing at all.
I have been meaning to send something, but to be honest with everything it has been super crazy. I never have time to rest. I think now that I am in Pápantla, I will be able to find a good way to send something. But I cannot really send anything cool because it does get stolen. Make sure when you send packages that you plaster the Virgin and the logo of the church on it hahaha. They think its like Book of Mormon's or something and don't open it and with the virgin they won't mess with it usually.
Love you so much!

Illegal Immigration - Violation of Americans Constitutional Right
- Questions: Is illegal Immigration a problem?
- Answer: Yes.
- Question: What underling conflict is the result of illegal immigration?
- Answer: It is a threat to American life, security, and equality guaranteed in Preamble of The Constitution.
- Logic: Life: Immigrants can be directly related to auto accidents, drug trafficking, and violent crimes.
Security: The existence of borders and an environment that can be easily penetrated might allow terrorist to enter country.
Equality: Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes. They are not subjected to laws governing legal citizens.
- Question: Are there other economic concerns?
- Answer: yes. 12 million Mexican immigrants sent away an average of $1650 each or about 20 billion dollars. That money in no longer circulating in the US economy.
- Sum: Every opportunity taken by an illegal citizen is one not available to legal citizen. Every life lost to a foreign member is one that was supposed to be protected by the US government.
Immigration is hot in the news right now with both sides lining up to support this catastrophe of a bill. You have to watch out for that. Sometimes everybody in Washington DC have issues in common not because they are accurately representing their constituents. Sometimes the reason people in Washington feel the way they do about an issue is because they are in Washington. Immigration is an issue that could really do damage to this country and many different facets. The complexity lies in the fact that many of the perpetrators are just trying to make a better life for themselves and the lost the lottery of birth by a few hundred miles.
I am generally a compassionate person. Ask friends and family and they will tell you that sometimes I am too compassionate. But I prescribe to the fact that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I also believe that getting ahead should never be attained at the expense of others livelihood.
As always you must approach any issue logically. There are so many holes in the logic of giving amnesty to Illegal immigrants that is hard to pick where to start. First, consider the statistics that are effected by the issue. Low estimates of amount of illegal immigrants in this country are about 12 million. There are roughly just shy of 300 million legal people in the United States. Let's say very conservatively that one quarters of them are not employable categories of children, elderly, and severely disabled. That would mean that there are 225 million employable people. According to the Bureau of labor statistics we are sitting finally back at 4.5% unemployment. Now as a matter of simple math we just multiply. 225 million people X .045 percentage of those people are unemployed. That means 10,125,000 unemployed people have to compete with at least 12 million illegal immigrants for work.
Breaking this down to the basics. Human labor is a resource. It has value. The first basic law of economics dictates its value. That is the law of supply and demand. If a resource is plentiful and completion is fierce then the price you can demand for your resource is dropped. Lets pretend it is a hot day along a parade route and you're a kid who puts up a lemonade stand. You are the only one at first. At 2 bucks a glass you are selling them like they are going out of style. Now your neighbor sees your fortune and wants to "share" in it. Your neighbor is willing to sell his for a buck a glass. All the sudden you must either drop the value of your resource or fold up shop. It doesn't help that your neighbor's brother works for a grocery store and doesn't have to pay for his lemonade mix. The same deal exist when an illegal immigrant works for an employer that doesn't have to pay payroll taxes, insurance, or overtime on him. If you are a legal American who picks fruit for a living, you can't afford to compete with him. In most cases the law won't let you.
It is my biggest soapbox issue about the disparity between the top and bottom in American wages. It is a big issue that will have to wait for another post. Due to shear economics Illegal immigrants are a threat to the ability to pursue life liberty and happiness.
Even more economically related rifts are caused by the presence of Illegal immigrants. For example, most of the people that fit in this category send money back home. That is money that leaves our economy. Yet another issue is that the they cost money to exist. A city must allot so much money per citizen to educate, protect, and care for them. Many drive and get into accidents that maim or kill legal citizens. They don't have money or insurance. Many of them are involved in criminal activity and require law enforcement to address them. That cost city money. Not to mention as we see a spike in energy costs they use energy. Could you imagine if 12 to 20 million people were not demanding gasoline, heat, air-conditioning, and cooking. this hearkens back to the old supply and demand again. Only this time the legal American citizen is on the demand side demanding, in competition, goods that are sought by the illegal consumer. If you were the only one on the sidewalk looking for a glass of lemonade, you would have some bargaining room.
Putting economics aside, a shift to security is another issue. (The 9/11 attacks and the US reaction is another issue too big and deserves it's own post.) However, I would like to point out that 3 of the 19 hijackers were in this country illegally on expired visas. Two of them madu up half of the pilots. If we had taken Illegal immigration more seriously 9/11 would never have happened. I would like to restate that because it is an important concept. If the U.S. policy was to obtain a 0% illegal existence in this country the atrocity of September 11th 2001 would not have been possible the way it was conducted. So why have we spent hundreds of billions getting revenge but not a single extra cent insuring that it never happens again? Sure we set up the TSA, but that was like putting a condom on after you have already impregnated your one night stand. Why are people able to walk across our borders with the same ease of getting a 7-layer burrito? Be honest if it were Muslims that were hitching across the southern border would the American people be so unconcerned with the influx of illegals? If it had been say Venezuela who attacked us on 9/11 would we be so lenient on South Americans crossing the borders. No way!! However those countries have very similar community structures. They have organized militias that make their living selling drugs. In 2003 (which is the latest data readily available http://www.drugwarfacts.org/causes.htm ) nearly 30,000 people died due to illicit drugs. I am sure the statistics haven't improved much. South America via Mexican border is the largest source of cocaine. Way more then the 2,973 people that died in the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Any politician that tells you that they are willing to do whatever they can to secure the nation but then says they are for allowing the current state of illegal immigration doesn't pass the logic of the truth tables.
So what can be done about it you ask? Here is where I may seem a little cold and callused. First we line the border with massive patrol units. Since it seems the southern border is the biggest threat we should start there. Anybody caught stepping across the border is fired upon. Not detained and sent back to try again. They are to be considered "the enemy" and treated as threats to the security of the American people. This is why I explained the perspectives above. If there were a group of gunmen that broke into a school and held 1000 students at gunpoint everybody would wonder why couldn't we stop this from happening in the first place. If you saw a man carrying a gun entering a school you would be hailed a hero if you shot and stopped him before he had a chance to enter. The facts stated previously are directly similar to these same situations. Illegal immigrants come to this country and take resources that could be used on our children and ourselves. Weather they shoot you with a gun, run you over with their car, peddle their deadly substances to our children, or taking resources that are required for the well being of Americans, foreign citizens are killing American citizens here on our soil.
Either their presence in the workforce is going to be in direct competition with you or they are going to lower the standard on what is required of an employer. "all things are relative. " A common mentality is, "My job is worth more then a kid at McDonald's makes." If the McDonald's employee makes less, then the meaning of your statement would require a lower wage to fulfill. If forcing the employers to pay a minimum wage wasn't important then why have the laws. Every man woman and child that crosses illegally into the United States poses a threat to the America. They do not live by our laws, constraints, or moral code. The people who claim that "illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes then other Americans" confuse me. Their crime rate is 100%. They have all crossed "illegally"!! Most produce false documents to work. None pay taxes.
Making the border crossing a more hazardous experience is only one part of solving the problem.
I do realize that the American government has spent the last 10 years of making crossing the border less appealing by making it easier for jobs to move to Mexico. (See link for a little satire break http://www.theonion.com/content/node/47978 ) However, this is an insane answer as suggested. Any employer must be held accountable for hiring Illegal immigrants. I would like to say shoot them too, but they are loosely American citizens and deserving of due process. I guess. However they should also be held accountable for any negative footprint left by their employees. They are liable for unpaid taxes, unemployment compensation for the amount of people who were put out by their practices, and any criminal acts that were perpetrated by their employees. Only when you dry up the supply of jobs for these people will the demand of US residency go away.
Lastly, I have no problems with rounding these people up, no matter how long they have been here and sending them back. I have heard the argument "But you can't just send 12 million people out of the country". Yes you can. Have kids here? Should have thought about that before you broke the law. If a guy said he should be allowed to continue molesting a child because he had been doing it for 10 years we would think it ludicrous. A murder can go to jail even 30 years after the fact. Why should time be the reason illegal immigrants stay. Yes it sucks, but it is not this country's problem. Go back, get in line, and hope for the best.
In conclusion, I am truly sorry that the people of central and South America are in such dire straits that they feel the need to seek sanctuary in our borders. However, we can not help you by letting you sink our ship. The best hope for you is that our government gets its head out of its rectum and we can supply help to develop and secure your own country. Lets face it South America has large quantities of resources including oil and lush coasts. It is their infighting that is causing their own discourse. I am sorry that you lost the birth lottery. Go back and fight for your own country. I would be willing to let you petition to join our country. You would have to throw away your flag, your identity, and your governing structure, but the rewards would be pristine. I would love to go to Cancun without a passport.
