Treating Women as Equals – Why is it So Difficult? (plus Tweets)
Once again, I can't remember what I was going to write about for today's tweets post. That's because it all went out the window, or rather out of my mind, when I saw something else.
As is my usual morning habit before I get out of bed, I was reading the Why Evolution is True website. Today's first post (at the link) includes a tweet from the British TV channel BBC Two.
Now I thought the tweet was absolutely fantastic. I note that a lot of (especially men) didn't think it was funny. Whether it tickles your funny bone or not, it does describe exactly what it's like to be a woman these days. Here 't'is:
A simple message to the world from every woman ever… 👊#TheMashReport @EllieJaneTaylor pic.twitter.com/lt2oke7E05

As I said, I thought that was great. Not all women felt that way apparently. It got this response from someone called Sandra Grant:
Too bad she had to use vulgar language to make her point. Still turns a lot of people – both men and women – off.
For goodness sake! This is just the sort of thing the tweet was referring too. Women get judged if they use "vulgar" language! What they say doesn't count if they use "vulgar" language.
Here's the tweet, and a pretty cool response!
Because- as we all know- a woman's worth is tied intrinsically to how many people she can turn on. pic.twitter.com/fVarHhAYCU

When I started using Twitter in 2011, I also started using a lot more "vulgar" language. Before that it was pretty rare that I swore, and I still do not blaspheme. But not long after establishing a presence online I was saying "fuck" a lot. Deliberately. The reason was all the religious extremists who told me women shouldn't say "fuck". Depending on the circumstances of course, telling me not to do something is a pretty good way to make me do it. That goes double if the reason I shouldn't do it is because I'm a woman.
(As an aside, I can't help wondering if that was Joe Biden's tactic in his CNN interview with Chris Cuomo yesterday. Joe Biden says Trump shouldn't speak to Mueller. Trump's reasoning will be that a Democrat thinks he shouldn't, so Trump will do it. And his own statements will convict him of, at least, perjury.)
People in general – not just men – respond to women in a different way than they do to men. I'm not talking about situations where that's appropriate. Men and women are different, despite what some modern intersectionalists will try to tell you. We are a product of evolution.
However, there are cultural things where there is a different response and there shouldn't be. It's often completely unconscious, and even the most equality-minded feminists (men and women) are guilty of it.
When you talk about going to the doctor, most people still assume the doctor is a man. A nurse though, is assumed to be a woman. There are many professions where the assumption is that they're men's jobs, and that stops girls going for them, even if they want to.
There's a thing amongst certain men that women (and people of colour in some countries) are taking control. I've heard that specifically from men's rights activists in the US – a country that's never even had a woman president and is 96th in the world when it comes to political equality in the 2017 Global Gender Gap report.
(The US is 49th overall, New Zealand is 9th. See page 8 of the report for other countries. If you can't access the report, ask me for your country's result in the comments, or email me.)
And we're not helped when Doritos announce they're introducing a corn chip especially for ladies. Not women mind you. Ladies. Now the chips themselves are not a bad idea. It's directing the marketing at "ladies" that's the problem.
Here are some responses:
The greatest injustice that women face is the crunchiness of chips not tailor-made for our feminine mouths. Thank you, Doritos. https://t.co/APfao3HMJ0

Now that Doritos has delivered us from sexism, what are we gonna do instead of a women's march next year, gals, should we just hang out quietly eating chips?

Women are expected to nurture, sometimes at the cost of their health. It serves men well to keep up the "caregiver" trope bec they won't have to make the sacrifices. When corporates plans to other women instead of treating them as human beings in 2018, you know there's a problem
— Rituparna Chatterjee (@MasalaBai) February 4, 2018
So, to all girls growing up into women: to hell with them. Crunch your chips, lick the sauce off your fingers, chomp your food, take delight in what you eat. They made up the rules for you as they went anyway, you can do the same.

We already have Doritos for women — they're called Doritos, and they're loved by millions.

It's quite a long time now since Hillary Clinton said this (almost 23 years), but it's as true as ever:
"Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights."
How about just thinking of women as people and not a separate species?
And how many men could do what House minority leader Nancy Pelosi did today in support of a group that Trump and the GOP has betrayed? This is the first tweet in a thread about her achievement:
(Via Ann German.)
Nancy Pelosi started speaking on the floor of the House at 10:04 am EST, using the "one minute" privilege she has as a House leader.
She has now completed four hours (and counting) of what is clearly a filibuster.
This never happens. Pretty big.#DreamActNow
— Charlotte Clymer🏳🌈 (@cmclymer) February 7, 2018
77 year-old Nancy Pelosi stood in heels and spoke for more than seven hours in support of the Dreamers. No water, no toilet break. (Women are allowed to say toilet in New Zealand – maybe that's why we're 40 places higher than the US in the Global Gender Gap report). The House Historian has apparently confirmed that this is the longest speech on the floor of the House since at least 1909. Go to the full thread if you can and read about her achievement.
(I apologize in advance if you don't find today's tweets very enjoyable. There aren't many animals because I ran out of time and I also went on a bit of an ego trip i.e. there are a lot of my own tweets.)

Another abusive man in the Trump White House "resigns". Why does everyone who abuses women have to resign except Trump? Why is he allowed to ignore allegations that he harasses, abuses, beats, and rapes women? That he has committed adultery dozens of times? He's on video speaking dismissively about women ("grab 'em by the pussy")! It should not be one rule for him and another for everyone else. He is not a king.

Great and fun read!!! The "woman thing" is a direct result of the US being invaded by those Puritanical prudes . . . and other assorted religious nuts. Religious zealots thrive on women's oppression.
Although religious nuts certainly play a vile role here, I'm not so sure it is only that.
The thing that one would automatically assume 'the doctor' is male is a good example. Well, not so good anymore, since I think there are nearly as much female as male doctors now, but you get the point.
A fun presentation though, greatly enjoyed it. Of course, in order to keep it 'civil', 'copulation', instead of 'fuck', could be used. "Copulate you!", and "Copulate it!", maybe less concise, but it has kind of a ring to it. 🙂
Small detail though, do not think that males are not told where, when or what they are allowed to do with their penises, vaginas are not really unique there (I admit there is not a real equivalence, penis-bearers are rarely 'slut-shamed', but still)
The key to gender, I think, is that all people have the right to do as they please. They have the right to pursue whatever career or activity they want. They should have equal access to all that society has to offer. Women, minorities, young and old, should be treated equally. Why not?
However, men and women, on average, are, in many ways different. So, you should not expect outcomes to be the same. There are many feminine traits that make most women good at some jobs and not so great as men at others, and vice versa. This is not a problem as far as I can see, as long as all women are given a fair opportunity. An example I heard recently was that in Norway, which probably has the strongest gender equality culture of any country, women represent the overwhelming majority of nurses and a scant minority of firefighters. This is not a problem, as long as they allow everyone to chose freely.
However, some seem to perceive any difference in outcomes as a condemnation of a culture which is male dominated and totally unfair. So, there should be just as many female firefighters as male, and there should be as many male elementary school teachers as female. Some of the diffidence could be cultural bias, but some of it is inherent in our genetic proclivities.
The latest bombshell (the President's accurate description) is the interim report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee showing (at least according to the Trump-deranged FBI lovebirds Strzok and Page) that Obama had demanded to "know everything" about the Clinton investigation. (So what did Obama know, and when did he know it?) The report also reveals that the FBI found out about Weiner's laptop a full month before Comey informed Congress.
"What Republicans are condemning is the FBI leadership's conduct in the Trump campaign and Clinton email probes. For example, in the case of the much-discussed House Intelligence Committee memo released last week, Republicans accurately portrayed an FBI leadership that made common cause with an opposition research project paid for by the Clinton campaign right in the middle of a 2016 presidential election — and then ferociously resisted congressional oversight." — Byron York
As I say, I'm old enough to remember when the lamestream media actually claimed to be against domestic surveillance, secret proceedings, and abusive, politically-influenced law enforcement. Those were the days!
Even the Trump-crazed lamestream media has to admit: That big beautiful parade is going to be one epic troll!
I do remember the cat that ate the city (until the city was saved by a giant disembodied hand, albeit with tragic consequences). When I was in fourth grade my "show and tell" was always what happened on Monty Python the night before. All I remember is the faces of small children either laughing themselves silly or looking baffled.
"When I started using Twitter in 2011, I also started using a lot more "vulgar" language. Before that it was pretty rare that I swore, and I still do not blaspheme"
How does an atheist blaspheme?
Atheism IS blasphemy.
And you're a petulant, intolerant troll; so what? Neither matters in the grand scheme of things, least of all you.
Can your God kiss my ass? If so, I invite him to do so. Maybe then I'll believe.
I daresay he could, seeing as he created it. (And he's not "my" God; he's yours too.)
Of course everyone has complete freedom to avoid God. Whether or not one chooses to acknowledge him, however, he is not "a god", much less "my" God. You must be thinking of something else.
It's a mystery why anyone would believe it's better to avoid God, but no question, it's your prerogative.
The reason humans don't believe in god is Reason. You say "acknowledge", I don't. There is no acknowledgment in the nebulous. Why so wishy-washy? You are wrong and forever have been. Tough corner to be in. Evolve!
Heather, why do you let this fool denigrate your site with this horror. Please make him stop. You're the only one who has the power…over god…god can't stop you from allowing j.a.m. to exist. Perhaps prove god wrong. The guy does nothing for you or your site…makes it shitty and I'm getting bored of his crap. I'm sure others are too. Time to trim the verge. j.a.m. and his idiocy has no place here. I don't follow sites with trolls…I'm not far from leaving yours. Just sayin'.
That woebegone cat must have been 'enhanced'. Can't be real.
That 1941 (!) Dr Seuss cartoon is brilliant. 'C'est la même chose' in many ways indeed.
The 'Dow Joans' fell by 1500 points on Monday. Mr Trump knows what to do, get himself shot into the sun, but of corse he won't do that , never was a realistic proposition, of course. I hope somebody will ask him. Wonder what he'll come up with.
And it dropped another 1,000+ today. How many of the dick-head's tweets have come back to bite him in the ass…such a dope.
You mention that tweet was fake. Mr Trump's tweets are so inane as to make it difficult to distinguish fake from true.
I must admit I fell hook, line and sinker,!
So the language went south when you took off on twitter. Not surprised. Mine went that way many years ago when I spent some time in the military and it took a long time after to get over it. Actually, probably never did get completely over it. It is like smoking, a bad habit and hard to break.
I thought you would have to get to the resignation in the white house yesterday and the story behind it. This could be an even bigger story than we think as I listen to the people on MSNBC cover this. This clown never had the secret clearances required to continue in the job but there he was. How could this be? Can't remember who dug it up but apparently the president is the only person who can wave the requirement and allow him to continue in the job without this clearance. Yet, we had the president saying yesterday how shocked he was to hear some of the things on this guy. Now, either Trump the lying creep, is just continuing as usual or maybe he didn't know?? If he did not, that means John Kelly was allowing this and keeping the details from Trump. This is what the journalist are digging into now. If Kelly is complicit in this, he will soon be gone. And a good goodbye it will be.
Only four possibilities:
1 – Mr Kelly knew and told Mr Trump, who didn't listen (after all, Mr Kelly is not Fox & Friends), it didn't register.
2 – Mr Kelly knew and told Mr Trump, who heard, but couldn't care less.
3 – Mr Kelly knew, but didn't tell Mr Trump.
4 – Mr Kelly didn't know.
Somehow I find scenarios 1 and 2 the more believable ones. What he told in public, vouching for Mr Porter's good character* etc. is probably not really that important, Mr Hatch is in that boat too. I may not have a high opinion of Mr Kelly, but an idiot he ain't (well, I guess).
* [A 'good character' is a 'strech-able' thing, a security clearance much less so]
From what I understand of the methods on this by the FBI there is no way that Kelly did not know. But we believe it is true that Trump is the only person who can wave the lack of security clearance. Kelly does not have this authority, only the pres. This Porter has been on the job for 13 months without clearance. It is also likely that many knew of his wife beating past — the FBI has known for many months, so when who was told as the white house comes out, we will know who is toast on this. Even today Trump says – It is a sad thing and too bad for him. He denies it still. Right, and you believe him and to hell with the two women who told their stories to the FBI months ago. People do not lie to the FBI, unless they work for Trump.
There is also Mr Sorensen now who had to resign after accusations of wife battering. Apparently he did not need a security clearance for his Job though.
Note, he contends that he was the battered one. That is moot question. From what I've seen (in my job involving repair of physical damage), it is indeed often -well, regularly, I would not say a majority of cases- the woman initiating the violence, at least here in SA. However, until she attacks her man while he's asleep, she generally comes second best, because of obvious reasons.
I don't know what you think of Germaine Greer, but when I think of feminists and salty language, they coalesce in her, and frankly, I like her language because she's able to mix high and low language in a way that the one accentuates the other. I just heard her rip into M-F transsexuals demands to be defined as female, and her language, high and low, was just great. I'm of the opinion that people should be able to ring the changes on language from one end of the spectrum to the other, as long as they use it well. I'm reading a book called "What the F: What Swearing Reveals About Our Language, Our Brains, and Ourselves" by Benjamin Bergen, a neuroscientist. If one finds it on Amazon, one will find several other books in the same vein. Swearing is healthy for us! Of course, that doesn't give license for one to go around spewing obscenities willy nilly; but there are neurobiological benefits.
I generally have no problem with some salty language, I would be a hypocrite if I says I did. However, I think it is over-done at times and sometimes shows my own lack of language skills. Having recently seen a few movies I have to say I was a bit put off by one for that very reason. Three Bill Boards Outside Ebbing, Mo. The first half hour or so was so full of F*** this and F*** that it just kind of hung over the rest of the movie. I could not understand why they did that?
Germaine Greer, that sheer endless source of quotes? I can't find the quote right now, but it was she who contended that those being so indignated and horrified about sex with adolescents, this obsession with youth, had some cravings about it themselves. (Echoed by the Hitch, who contended that the fiercest anti-homosexual crusaders have some gay leanings themselves).
[Some brilliant Greer quotes, just to justify she is an endless mine:
– "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever"
– "I find that those men who are personally most polite to women, who call them angels and all that, cherish in secret the greatest contempt for them."
– "Those miserable women who blame the men who let them down for their misery and isolation enact every day the initial mistake of sacrificing their personal responsibility for themselves."
– "If a person loves only one other person, and is indifferent to his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism."
– "Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution."
– "Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well."
– "Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out; it's one of the most charming things about them."
– "Sexual religion is the opiate of the supermenial."]
And poor Nigel is dead.

Summer begins this month, and with the new season comes another change to AiG's prayer site. We have realized that a monthly article isn't the most effective method to keep you updated on current prayer needs. So, this will be the last of our monthly prayer updates published on the website homepage.
Of course, we hope you will continue to pray often for Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and Ark Encounter. We will continue to update the prayer site occasionally, but you certainly don't have to be in the dark about AiG's latest outreaches.
To stay up-to-date with current prayer requests, we encourage you to sign up for our Answers Weekly email newsletter—and be sure to check the prayer section each Saturday. (And while you're signing up for the email newsletter, consider requesting our free monthly print newsletter, Answers Update, which is written to help keep our supporters updated.) Also, Ken Ham's blog is a great way to keep up with latest happenings in the ministry. And if you don't already follow us on Facebook or Twitter, these are excellent resources for staying close to the heartbeat of Answers in Genesis.
To all our faithful prayer partners, thank you for supporting AiG in your prayers!
Praises and Requests
Creation Museum
Over the past couple months, teams of artists, designers, builders, technicians, and many others have been hard at work around the Creation Museum. We thank God for allowing us to open not just one new museum feature but several this year—including the diverse insect collection in Dr. Crawley's Insectorium, a spectacular dragon exhibit filling our main portico, and the most extensive zip line course in the region (due to open on June 20). Please pray that these additions will bring many more visitors to hear the truth of God's Word and the good news of Jesus Christ.
Planned Giving
Please pray for continued and effective growth of our planned giving outreach to supporters of the AiG ministry, including increased use of our planned giving website at www.genesisgift.org. Also, please ask the Lord to bring more signups for our free and informative email newsletter about planned giving (with all the latest tax, economic, and charitable giving updates). Finally, pray for the Lord to bless our continuing outreach in providing will preparation kits and other information regarding planned giving to our supporters.
Research and Projects
We praise the Lord for the good supply of quality technical papers for our online Answers Research Journal.
Please pray for the continuing work on bringing book projects to publication with Master Books, as Dr. Georgia Purdom works on the Galápagos Islands book, and Dr. Andrew Snelling and Lee Anderson with Dr. Steven Boyd work on their Grappling with the Chronology of the Genesis Flood book. Also, pray for the continuing research in astronomy (Dr. Danny Faulkner) and the radioactive dating of meteorites (Dr. Andrew Snelling), and we also ask prayer for the writing of technical papers presenting the results of this research.
Outreach and AiG–UK
Dr. Terry Mortensen traveled to northern England and Scotland for ten days earlier this month. We praise God for the opportunity and ask the Lord for a lasting legacy from this trip—that unbelievers will be challenged by what they heard and also that Christians will be strengthened and built up in their faith. Please continue to pray for traveling mercies for our various speakers with their busy schedules, traveling to multiple venues.
Staff Needed
Please pray that staff needs in the Administration Division will be filled with good, qualified applicants.

I have limited time to visit producers and importers, but it's possible to submit wines for review.
For producers/importers interested in submitting their red and/or white Burgundy (including Chablis) samples for review, the following will provide the necessary information.
How to submit a sample for review
If you want to submit a wine for review please e-mail me to get detailed information about the delivery of the wines to my office – contact me on email@example.com.
For reviewing your wines, please submit one or two bottles (two because if there is a problem with the first bottle, there is a back-up bottle). Please note two bottles is not a requirement.
It is very helpful for me to have any information you may have on vintage characteristics and the specific technical details of each wine. Data like grape source(s), alcohol levels, production numbers and whether some percentage of whole clusters. Also details about the use of SO2, time of bottling and fining or filtering is important.
Please include contact information (phone number, email and website), importer information (if applicable) and suggested retail prices

Topic Page: D-Day
(June 6, 1944) Codename for the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War 2. Commanded by General Eisenhower, Allied forces landed on the French coast between Cherbourg and Le Havre. It was the largest amphibious operation in history, involving c.5,000 ships. Despite fierce resistance, bridgeheads were established by June 9. It was the first step in the liberation of Europe.
6 June 1944, the day of the Allied invasion of Normandy under the command of General Eisenhower to commence Operation Overlord, the liberation of Western Europe from German occupation. The Anglo-US invasion fleet landed on the Normandy beaches on the stretch of coast between the Orne River and St Marcouf. Artificial harbours known as 'Mulberries' were constructed and towed across the Channel so that equipment and armaments could be unloaded on to the beaches. After overcoming fierce resistance the allies broke through the German defences; Paris was liberated on 25 August, and Brussels on 3 September. D-day is also military jargon for any day on which a crucial operation is planned. D+1 indicates the day after the start of the operation.
Five beaches – Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword – were selected as the landing points for the Allied forces. The operation was preceded by airborne landings to secure the flanks and destroy vital bridges and gun positions. The landings commenced at 0630 hrs, and by midnight 73,000 US and 83,000 British and Canadian troops and their equipment were ashore and the beachheads were being linked into a continuous front. The German response to the landings was hampered by the damage done to their communications, by a rigid command structure which required a personal directive from Hitler before any of the reserve elements could move, and by the belief that the landing was a feint and that the major Allied attack would come in the Pas de Calais region, a belief fostered by Allied deception operations.
Although the operation was a success, casualties were heavy: Allied losses during the day amounted to 2,500 killed and about 8,500 wounded. Allied air forces flew 14,000 sorties in support of the operation and lost 127 aircraft.

Working very hard but not very productive at your work, did you introspect why? You are always very busy at work but you always have things left to do at end of the day. Is staying very busy means very productive? Do you waste your time at work? A very old and common saying to above problems is WORK SMART NOT HARD. But what if we do both & say WORK SMART WHILE WORKING HARD. Below are the 5 practices which can help you work SMART while working HARD.
1. Set goals
It is very important to set your goals first for whatever you do, but I will say first set smaller goals. It is always good to set big goals for whatever you do, but it is very important to divide it into small ones to meet the big ones effectively. Set goals for everyday, every week and every month and at the end check whether you have reached your goals or not or how far are you away from meeting them? Meeting your smaller goals on time helps you to meet your big goals on or before time. So setting smaller goals is the first step to get your things done.
2. Use tools
Do you use tools for your day to day work? If not start using them from now. Tools help you to organize your works, set priorities and get your things done on time. It helps you keep track on progress of small things and visible progress motivates you to pick the next task. It also helps you in reminding the pending things to do and keep the progress going. There are many tools available like One Note, Evernote where you can manage your TODOs for day to day work. I personally prefer to use Google Keep as it perfectly fits into my need. You can choose other various tools available as per your preference. Either it is office or home, make a habit of using tools.
3. Stay focused
You must devote your entire focus to the task in your hand. Keep your cellphone away (out of sight and silent), try to close unnecessary open browser windows and most importantly stay away from social networking sites. Use headphone and listen to music if you like it (I prefer to use headphone with no music which helps me in concentrating). You must concentrate on the current task and forget about any other important task until you are done with the current one. Try to get all the required things (water, coffee etc) near you before starting your work to avoid any distraction while doing it. And most importantly, try to avoid any unplanned meetings during your work if it is not very important.
4. Learn to say no
Remember, you are a human being and you cannot do all things at a time. Decide priority of works coming to you and learn to say NO to other work which has less priority and not relevant to getting your thing done. If you make a lot of commitments for the same time then you will end up juggling between them instead of actually doing them. Make sure you say NO very politely and make your reasons clear. This is good if you accept more works but then try to set the right priority for them and you should avoid doing multiple things at one time.
5. Learn to delegate
Some people think that only they can do things in a right way but It sounds very arrogant. One should learn to delegate the work to the team members. Again remember, you are a human being and you cannot do all the things at one time. You should keep your ego aside and take time to train someone, who knows if he/she does work correctly and even can do it in a better and a faster way than you. You should accept it and learn to trust others. You should not feel incompetent or ashamed because you need help for something.

AthleteWord: "But we do not belong to those who SHRINK BACK and are destroyed, but to those who have FAITH and are saved." – Hebrews 10:39 NIV
Hebrews 11:17-19
Competitors move! They fight through workouts for one more rep. They strive to improve technique, strength, and efficiency so they can achieve one more rep. They know one more rep could be the difference between winning and losing. As they run, competitors realize one more step could make the difference. Great attention to detail is vital to competitors.
Competitors for Christ also realize this same truth. The Scriptures call the competitor's attitude moving "by faith." What does this mean? Moving by faith is not "shrinking back." It is a refusal to quit or retreat. Through faith in Jesus Christ competitors strive to move forward. They may not improve large distances, move large loads, or sprint fast, but their faith keeps them moving one step forward.
When have you been in a workout and felt like you cannot manage one more rep?
Describe your experience and how you responded.
Abraham was a competitor. It was Abraham's faith that kept him moving forward. God challenged his faith by giving him the ultimate test. He was instructed to offer his own son as a sacrifice. As Abraham walked up the mountain with the supplies for his sacrifice, every step must have been a huge challenge. Thoughts of quitting surely moved through his mind. But he did not "shrink back." He kept moving forward because he knew God always keeps His promises. Even if it took a resurrection, Abraham believed God would be faithful.
God still allows His competitors to be tested today. The way we keep moving forward is the same way Abraham walked up that mountain. We trust the promises of God. We believe in God's power to produce eternal life. Will you fight for one more step as you believe in God's promises to you through Jesus Christ?
"One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 3:13-14 NIV
AthleteWord: "But we do not belong to those who SHRINK BACK and are destroyed, but to those who have FAITH and are saved." – Hebrews 10:39 NIV

Souvenirs from our youth we just can't seem to part with include Hanson CDs and acne scars. While we haven't yet been able to discard the former, we're thankfully able to bid farewell to the latter with Yes To™'s Grapefruit Dark Spot Correcting Serum. Due in large part to power ingredient grapefruit, the serum's lightweight formula minimizes the appearances of blemishes, revitalizes damaged skin, evens out skin tone, and brightens and firms… meaning that we'll be hoarding it about as intensely as we did those CDs.
I was excited to try this on an area where I had an acne scar. After I applied, the smell was very strong but the texture wasn't horrible. I felt like it was very drying not long after. The next morning my face was itchy and the place where I applied it was glowing red! My skin did not agree with this product.1
The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell...starts out grapefruit-y but quickly turns into a chemical sour smell. It also didn't absorb into my skin as well as I hoped it would and left a sticky residue on my face. When it dried, it turned into a dry film (sort of like when I do an egg white facial). I only had a sample so I have no idea if it works at all in terms of correcting dark spots. Meh.1
Received a tiny sample in my box -- most of it squirted onto the floor, at first making me disappointed that I wouldn't get to see if it really corrected spots. But when I put it on my face, it felt as though I was applying a soap. I waited about ten minutes before scrubbing my face again to get the residue off.1
I got this in my box with the matching scrub. I applied it after using the scrub and found it to be horribly sticky. It left a thick mask on my face that I could feel if I smiled or anything. I left it on for awhile I see if it absorbed, but it didn't. I had to wash it off and apply my regular moisturizer. Maybe I could use it on little spots, but def not my entire face.1
I want to like this brand and I want something to work on my dark spots but this product doesn't stay on.
You pump out what looks like green slime and when you apply it you have to be carful that as its drying you don't peel it right off again.
I don't feel like anything is soaking in. It's more like a mask than anything else and my skin doesn't feel like it's moisturized so I want to put lotion over the top.
All and all just not really great.

I've had an okay month. Not exactly a spectacular month because of the many things I couldn't accomplish, but above all else, I'm grateful for life. It's easy to go everyday complaining about things that are not working well instead of just being grateful for the things that are on course. I try to imagine myself being the one that provides air, food, water, shelter, and abundance of rain, fair weather, good jobs, and all the other good things of life to humans and with the abundance of all these things I provide, someone still complains about how he or she doesn't have enough money to add to what they already have. The thought that people don't care much about what I do or complain that I'm not doing enough is sufficient to start another episode of Noah and the Ark.
I have two stories to share.
Two weeks ago, I had this massive eye issue. It was so bad that I couldn't do anything at work because looking at my screen alone was a huge problem; my eyes were watery, they hurt so bad and were itchy. Thankfully, it got better after about a week and I was okay. I've started taking precautionary measures to stay off eye makeup and bright screens.
Few days ago, I met this man, a senior executive in a multinational company who was sharing an experience. He mentioned that for a couple of years now, he's had to deal with eye issues and hasn't been able to find a medical cure for it. He said his eyes will hurt so badly sometimes that he'd be useless for hours; or sometimes, he'd just sit and for no reason, water will start coming out of his eyes like when someone is crying; this actually happened while we were talking, tears just started flowing out of his eyes. When I asked if he had been to the hospital, he smiled and said "you have no idea how much I've spent" and he stopped at that.
While I was complaining about how I couldn't use eye makeup for a week because the water will smear my mascara, someone else is constantly battling with worse situations. You stay complaining about why your eyes are too big or too small; not bright enough or not having the right color; someone else is just praying for eyes that can work well. That man has more than enough money to take care of himself, but his eyes still give him so much trouble.
Second story.
I have a colleague at work who is a cancer survivor. He had cancer in his college days in Germany many years back and he was telling his experience about chemotherapy, alopecia, losing years of school and so on. He went to talk to a woman who presently has cancer in an attempt to encourage her that whether or not she survives it, she is safe in the hands of God. The passion with which this woman spoke about how grateful she is for the number of years she lived in sound health made me feel guilty about myself.
I am very familiar with cancer. I know it so well and I know it's a hard place to be especially for the family of the patient; both financially and emotionally. But with this woman's family, you can see gratitude to God despite the challenges they are facing. She has two grown daughters that have this aura of joy around them and it amazes me how they manage to stay joyful through the illness.
**End of Stories**
At the risk of writing an epistle, this is a word of encouragement that no matter how crooked or hopeless a situation might be, there are still reasons to be thankful. It might not be health challenges; it might be failure to accomplish some set goals of 2012 as we enter into the so-called "ber" months; it might even be dealing with loss in any form. What I know is this: God always leaves at least a tiny little reason to be thankful whether or not He does something.
Whatever it is that you are facing; realize that the end hasn't come and as long as you are alive, you can still get through it. There's always time to make something better as long as you're still breathing.
This is the reason I'm grateful for life.
Have an awesome September!

About her son, from a loving Mother
Shortly before we were leaving to Memmingen, the town where I can see my son every three weeks for two hours, Hadashah Hennigfeld gave me a little gift for Noach. It touched me to see this little piece of wood and I knew that it would have a great purpose and effect.
Our children have vacations right now and Rea and Noach had participated in a soccer camp for five days. The day we visited Noach had been the last day of the camp where they had formed different teams that competed with each other.
Rea's team had won a bronze and a silver medallion, while Noach's team hadn't been so victorious. At the end of our time together, I put the wooden medallion, that his friend Shama had made for him around his neck. "This is your gold medallion from your friend Shama, he made it just for you!" (Shama's picture is below.)
Noach's face was beaming with a big smile from one ear to the other. He was so happy about his very special medallion. Our friendships with one another are like the red blood cells in our bone marrow. Without these friendships our body would die. The relationships are what give life to the structure.
Even though our children are far away from us, our life, and their true friends, they are strengthening each other. The stronger ones encourage the weaker ones. I am thankful for the support of the Body and for the goodness and faithfulness of our Abba. He is doing something very big!
…and their mouths were filled with laughter and their hearts with singing praise, for Yahweh has done great things for us, whereof we are glad… (Psalm )
We don't know how many people our Abba wants to reach through this great suffering right now. One thing is clear though. The people that take care of our children right now, have the ark of the covenant in their homes, and it can be a blessing to them or a curse. It's up to them, whether they want to have eyes to see and a heart to respond or whether they harden their hearts and ignore their screaming consciences. I am praying with all my heart that our Father would enable those foster parents and educators to SEE and to have the courage to speak up.
Therefore we have to press on. We cannot stop speaking about what we've heard and seen. Our Father continuously reminds us about that. It is our responsibility – we can't grow weary in speaking the truth over and over again.
I am thankful for the training we are in right now, thankful for so many true friends, for
their spiritual support and thankful for all your prayers!
I love you,
Miriam Martha — Noach's imma (mother)

Ah, SMASH! - one of my favourite comics. I'm lucky enough to have the ODHAMS bound file copies of the first year or two of this great comic. It was through SMASH! that I first discovered THE FANTASTIC FOUR, as it printed the origin of the FF simultaneously with WHAM!

From time to time I love to participate in cover reveals. I felt that Cover Craze would allow me the opportunity to reveal a never before seen cover for an upcoming book while also rave about how awesome it might be and yada, yada. Today's cover reveal is brought to you by YaReads Blog Tours and YA Interrobang. Let's get to it!!
LOST GIRLS by Merrie Destefano
Yesterday, Rachel went to sleep listening to Taylor Swift, curled up in her grammy's quilt, worrying about geometry. Today, she woke up in a ditch, bloodied, bruised, and missing a year of her life.
She doesn't recognize the person she's become: she's popular. She wears nothing but black.
Black to cover the blood.
And she can fight.
Tell no one.
She's not the only girl to go missing within the last year…but she's the only girl to come back. She desperately wants to unravel what happened to her, to try and recover the rest of the Lost Girls.
But the more she discovers, the more her memories return. And as much as her new life scares her, it calls to her. Seductively. The good girl gone bad, sex, drugs, and raves, and something darker…something she still craves—the rush of the fight, the thrill of the win—something she can't resist, that might still get her killed…
The only rule is: There are no rules.
This psychological thriller, from Entangled Teen, releases January 3, 2017!
I am definitely excited about this upcoming read! This is the right kind of cover to represent a psychological thriller. It's all dark and mysterious and I can't definitively speculate about what the story will actually bring. It could be a straightforward read or one big web of twists and turns. I feel like Lost Girls is going to be weird, exciting, and full of tension. What do you think? Does this awesome cover have you eagerly waiting for the Lost Girls release?

SA-Encrypt Password NOT sending email
Security Assist with the newPW.php file! I have ran through the tutorials for security assist and user level authentication (4 times now) and I have read through forums, posts & threads for the past 4 hours trying to figure out the following:
1) If I go to login page and login with correct username and password stored in my visitors table then everything works great.
2) If I go to login page and enter my username and randomly type a password I am taken to the visitors_emailPW.php. I enter the email address associated with the account. Click send and I am returned to the login page.
No email arrives, but the password value in the database is a long ass string of numbers (meaning it has been encrypted).
3) If I take and copy that long number and paste it into the login page password field and using my username, then I am redirected to the profile page where I can reset my password. Nothing happens and the database is not updated.
I have tried everything.... I even had my old PHP e-commerce teacher try to help me with this and no luck!!!! I have attached the login page, emailPW page, update page and new password page. Please help me if you can!!!

Life has this funny way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it. These last few months for me have been challenging, to say the least. I started a new job, moved into a new apartment, learned the art of confrontation, and spent way too much time baking holiday sweets that aren't suitable for posting on this website. For these reasons (and many others) I haven't been updating this blog as much as I would have liked to. But a new year brings new beginnings and I am once again vowing to devote more time toward pursuing personal projects. One of the most important things we can do to stay emotionally healthy is to reserve enough time for ourselves and focus on activities that make us happy. Easier said than done, of course.
In an attempt to regain some balance and detox all the sugar I consumed over the month of December, I embarked on a 3-day juice cleanse. I followed the advice given by Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss in their book "The 3-Day Cleanse." I wrote down some recipes, went to Whole Foods the night before, bought a grocery cart full of fruits and vegetables, and set up my juicer for the next morning. I chose to complete the "foundation" cleanse: A medium-leveled plan for those who eat fairly healthy but who are new to the multiple-day juice cleanse routine. Now, I'm no novice to the juicing world entirely; I'm only new to the world of multi-day-juice plans. I typically drink a couple of juices per week and have survived a few one-day juice cleanses, mostly when I've felt under the weather and wanted to kick the virus out of me as fast as possible. And let's be honest, I snuck a few almonds and cashews in between beverages.
This time however, was different. It was time to stop thinking about doing a juice cleanse and just do it. The testimonials I read were inspiring: People were losing weight, feeling ecstatic and full of energy, gaining confidence, overcoming health issues, and seeing allergies and skin issues disappear! My expectations were high and I was going into this thing full force.
The foundation cleanse called for a daily serving of 2 fruit juices, 3 green juices, and 1 nut milk – with recipes provided in the last pages of the book. It required preparation by eating all raw foods for a couple of days before the cleanse, cutting out caffeine, meat, alcohol, and cigarettes. In the days following the cleanse, solid foods are to be reintroduced slowly, warning that digestive systems may enter into a type of "shock" if solids and cooked foods were consumed too quickly. I reread a few vital sections of the book and felt confident enough to dive in to my weekend a la juice.
The days of juicing went by and I waited for the change. My testimonial. My enlightening experience from consuming nothing but raw fruits and vegetables in liquid form for 3 days. I waited for it to be difficult, to feel those intense cravings, to feel a sense of accomplishment when I resisted – but I felt nothing. Nothing besides a 2-day-long headache that was probably just my body going through a sugar withdrawal (I had managed to develop a sugar addiction by incorporating dark chocolate into my diet almost every day since Christmas).
Honestly, the most difficult part was not the hunger, it was the desire to sit down for a meal, cut a piece of food, and be able to chew it in my mouth. It was even a struggle to drink the last of the juices that I needed to consume because I wasn't hungry enough to drink it! I didn't really crack until about 8:00pm on the last day, Sunday. I only had 3 of the required 6 juices per day, I was tired, and in no condition to chop a cutting board full of produce and run it through the juicer even one more time. I sat and debated with myself for a while, trying to decide whether it was worth it to finish the weekend off strong. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that maybe juicing wasn't for me. Maybe my diet was adequate enough that I didn't really need a juice cleanse. Yes, there were some pro's that resulted from my weekend a la juice, but overall it wasn't the revelation I was expecting. This whole experience just turned out to be another lesson in the philosophy of "what works for one person doesn't work for everyone." After that, I picked up some spring rolls and veggie pho, ate it happily (and slowly), and went to bed. And you know what? I felt fine. No digestive shock. No crazy nausea. Just the warm feeling of contentment that comes after eating a big bowl of soup on a cold night.
So the question now is – do I still believe in drinking juices? Yes. Do I think that some people benefit greatly from juice cleanses? Sure. Do I think that drinking juice is a great way to obtain a ton of nutrients and a great way to live healthier? Definitely. Do I think that everyone will benefit from dedicating days of their lives to drinking nothing but liquified produce? Not entirely. But this is how we learn, and at least now I can say I tried it. Who knows, maybe next time I'll try a new kind of cleanse and feel something totally different. The point of this story? Do what's right for you. No one knows your body better than yourself, so listen to what it's saying and follow it's direction!
PS- One "pro's" of this cleanse was discovering how to make cashew milk, a drink I am now obsessed with. A recipe for this as well as other recipes used during the juice cleanse are soon to follow!

Hey Jed, Did your buddy laugh before or after he asked if you were ok, (or both)? In my surfcasting learning years, I turned away from a group discussion on the beach in the pitch dark and swung a 3oz bank sinker around 'bolo-style'until it was stopped by my best friends thick skull. It sounded like a broken bat pitch at Fenway Park. I hadn't realized the rig came loose from my outfit until my buddy started cursing me like the truck driver he was. I felt awful, but still almost peed myself laughing. In fact I felt as bad about not keeping a straight face as I did about the lump on his noggin...
P.S. I made my son watch the link too...a picture is worth a thousand words. Hope the subject recovered. I didn't go too far on that link- too disturbing.

By: Katie McAllister, Mother of Two
I often jot down "things to remember" on anything I can find in the midst of our hectic days. I know I will forget the details.
How Ana (20 months) drops everything in her hands and runs to us to dance when we turn on music. How Amadeo (7 months) holds my hair, my scarves, my skin while he nurses. How they love to play together. How she tries to feed him and dress him and carry him although they are practically the same size.
I try to focus on the small joys, but too many of these paragraphs are followed by words of dark sadness and overwhelm, the desire to escape this thing called motherhood which is supposed to be so ultimately fulfilling.
This Mother's Day I celebrate myself, a woman sculpting her life. I celebrate my slow climb out of a long descent into postpartum depression, anxiety and OCD, which went untreated after my first baby, got a little better with time, and then dug its heels in hard a few months after my second child was born. I celebrate the act of asking for help.
Advocating for myself has been the hardest part of getting the help I need. I've had to utter words I never wanted to say, answer "yes" to questions to which I wished I could have said say "no." The beautiful piece is that as I reached out I was received with care, viewed as resourceful, undoubted as a good mother, seen as a whole person, unquestioned in my love for my children.
I spent 10 days at the Women & Infants Day Hospital, and in that time I went from not wanting to be there to not wanting to leave. The experience lives in me as something I draw strength from daily. The support lifted me up like a life raft, the change in rhythm to my days gave me confidence in my ability to handle my children alone, but also the wisdom to ask for help, and to keep asking. I filled my toolkit with tools of self-care, planning, goal-setting, and above all, remembering to breathe. It was like hitting the reset button with a whole team to aide me.
I found solace and validation in the other mothers I met there. We struggle with so many of the same things and are tied together by the knowledge of the depths we have gone to in becoming something other than what we were before we had our children. We bring back gold from the dregs. We face the mess, shush the voice that says "I can't," and proclaim over and over, "I've got this."

Further Details
The young Vermentino vines for this wine are grown on granite-clay soils that retain a little moisture even at the height of summer. The north-south aspect of the vineyard protects the grapes from the fiercest hours of sunshine, and continuous working of the soil encourages the vines to go deep in search of water and bear witness to the character of the land in the aromas of the finished wine.
The family-owned artisan winery Pusole in eastern Sardinia is situated in the Ogliastra region whose varied terrain stretches from beautiful seaside to mountains over 1,100 metres high.
Here, for four generations, the Pusole family has cultivated its land, producing wine, corn and olive oil, in addition to breeding razza sarda, a local species of semi-wild pigs. Today the family business is run by siblings Loredana, Lorenzo and Roberto. In their vineyards they cultivate only Cannonau and Vermentino, traditional varieties from the region, using traditional and natural farming methods, with no use of herbicides and pesticides, no irrigation and no use of chemical products. The soils are worked often and weeds controlled by inviting herds of sheep into the vineyards. Respect for nature is a key idea at Pusole.
As Cannonau is a rather vigorous grape variety in terms of fruit production, the grapes are thinned in pre-summer to leave approximately 1-1½ kilos of grapes per plant. In the cellars the aim is to preserve the true character of the wines as shaped by the soil and the vintage. Only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation, and temperatures are controlled exclusively by airing the must. The ultimate aim at Pusole is to develop single vineyard expressions of Cannonau, reflecting the diversity of each different parcel of vines, including one tiny parcel of vines more than eighty years old.

Richard Sherman and a Llama Star in Bizarre Commercial. Like, Really Bizarre.
Richard Sherman is a huge NFL star who's deflecting endorsement deals with the same ferocity he deflects passes.
Here's one opportunity that maybe he should've rejected.
The Seattle Seahawks star appears in this ad for Neff headwear, in which he hosts a cooking show with a llama (yeah, we don't know why a llama's involved, either).
The ad seems to want to be kitschy, but comes off odd more than anything else. Perhaps Sherman should read scripts with the same ferocity he reads opposing quarterbacks' eyes.

Broder Karstens recently said one of the best things about being in the United States is being able to buy a 3-pound bag of M&Ms and eating at all the fast food restaurants that this wonderful place has to offer. Yes, definitely a typical response from a 16-year-old exchange student who has been in America for fewer than two weeks.
But the native of Germany who is attending Berthoud High School this year is not here just to take. He's already given the Spartans a boost in the prep soccer program, one that coach John Barron hopes the team can rally around in 2011.
Karstens has already shown the coach and his teammates that he's got plenty to offer on the soccer pitch as an experienced defenseman, an area on the field where the Spartans were running thin heading into the season.
"One of the things that we were asking at the beginning of the summer was who are we going to play at defense. We have guys who can play defense, but we didn't have someone who can lead the defense," said Barron, whose team finished 8-6-1 overall and 5-2-1 in league play in 2010. "He is by trade a defender, and he's a leader, too. The perfect fit for what our team needed."
As much experience as he has, Karstens said there are a few things he's still getting used to — not the least of which is the difference in altitude between here and his native land. Also, the fact that prep teams practice every day of the week is something unusual.
But, he's acclimating himself well. Familiar with playing goalkeeper as well, Karstens has challenged himself to playing the field, and that's where he feels most comfortable.
"It's been fun, and it's different than Germany. Here we practice every day, and in Germany we practice two or three times a week. It's cool, it's another feeling," Karstens said. "I was long time a goalie, but I like to (run). Here, I feel like I am able to do some of my own stuff. It's a little more loose."
The Spartans have gained a certain amount of comfort in knowing that they'll have a sizable guy on the back end. Karstens seems to fit the mold of an ideal soccer player, tall and just thick enough to be able to overmatch most forwards he'll be defending.
"He's getting the feel for our team, and as long as he does that he's going to be good, a lot of talent," said teammate Axel Ayala, who comes in as one of the Spartans' top scoring threats. "We need some size, and the bigger we get the more intimidating we can be."
"I think one-on-one is maybe one of my strengths. Also I like to be in the middle and give advice, to be like a captain of the defense," said Kartsens.
Karstens is one of many foreign students who have come through Berthoud, and not all of them have become instantaneous stars. Last year, Martinius Karlsen was — the native of Norway scored 12 goals and totaled 25 points for the squad.
But the school is still looking to get past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a while. Each of the last three years, the Spartans have come up short in that first postseason game, and Barron is hoping this year is the year they overcome that obstacle.
Leading the way is the junior Ayala, and his sophomore cousins Tavo and Jano Beltran. Senior Daniel Bosnich is also well versed as the center midfielder, and a steady Luke Bender has secured his spot in the goal.
"We haven't had that much depth at the varsity level for a few years, and we just tried to fill in the squad. This year, we've got a full squad plus players who can fill in when needed," Barron said. "I'm excited that we have the opportunity to get by that first round. Our goal is to get a high enough seed to host a game, and make it deeper into the playoffs."

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Sacred Heart University men's basketball senior captain Sean Hoehn was featured in the New Haven Register, in the build up to tonight's home NEC Quarterfinal game with sixth-seeded LIU Brooklyn at 6 p.m.
Hoehn was featured in Wednesday's edition of the New Haven Register by reporter Jim Fuller. The feature focused on Hoehn's season as a whole and how he is in a position as the lone senior on the roster to lead a young, inexperienced SHU men's basketball team to its first even NCAA Tournament appearance.
Hoehn became the eighth player in program-history to earn All-NEC First Team honors after finishing third in the NEC in scoring with 17.9 points per game. Hoehn shot 47.2% from the field and 41.4% from three this season, which ranked 12th and fourth in the NEC respectively. Hoehn has scored in double-figures in 27 of the Pioneers' 31 games, leading the team in scoring in 14 games and dropping at least 20 points in 11 of the 27 contests. Hoehn has scored 1,349 career points, which is 23rd on the program's all-time scoring list.

GAMEDAY CENTRAL | Pink and White Game
Friday, April 28th | 7:00 PM | Br. Thomas More Stadium | Louisville, KY
Assumption Rockets vs. Sacred Heart Valkyries
Friday, April 28th
Pink and White Game – 7:00 PM
Saint Xavier High School
Louisville, KY
Assumption defeated Sacred Heart last year by a score of 14-7 in the ninth annual Pink and White Game. The game was a strong showing of the deep rivalry these two schools have, and tonight will prove the same.
Yes, Louisville is known for their football rivalries, the St.X and Trinity game drawing near 30,000 year to year, but another 6,000+ will squeeze into the stands tonight for a powder-puff football game. That's more than most schools around the country for their rivalry football games for the guys.
A side from the actual game, the halftime show is something you will not want to miss. I guarantee it will rival with Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl this year, as the St.X and Trinity Dancers will put on a one-in-a-lifetime performance. The Tigers have been at work for the past couple of months under the watchful eye of some champion Assumption dancers and former football coach turned dancing protegé Mike Glaser. There's sure to be some booty poppin' and hip shakin' taking place.
Most importantly though, make sure to make it out to the opening ceremonies that begin at 7:00 PM on the field. All four schools have been invited to bring family members, friends, and loved ones that have beaten cancer and escort them on the field for special recognition of their battle. Not only is it a beautiful ceremony, but it embodies what this game is truly played for.

QATAR Classic has a new champion and he answers to the name of Karim Abdel Gawad.
In an all-Egyptian final lasting 67 minutes at the Khalifa International Complex last week, Gawad dethroned two-time defending champion and world No.1 Mohamed El Shorbagy 12-10, 15-13, 11-7.
It was Gawad's second successive win over El Shorbagy following the recent World Championship semifinal in Cairo.
It was also his third title of the season, after the Al Ahram Open and World Championship, both of which came at home.
"Being the world champion and Qatar champion sounds good, really good. I'm living a dream. I need to thank my coaches Omar Abdel Aziz and Mohamed Abbas as well as fitness trainer Ali Ismail. And of course, my parents, sister and fiancee who are always there to support me," said Gawad, as he collected the trophy from Qatar Squash Federation President Nabeel Ali bin Ali.
The Giza-born player has been in impressive form since his runner-up finish to compatriot Ramy Ashour at the Hong Kong Open in August.
A month later, he won the Al Ahram Open in Cairo, beating compatriot Ali Farag.
Then, in October, he stunned world No.2 Gregory Gaultier in the US Open quarterfinal though Nick Matthew ended his campaign in the semifinal.
But his big moment came in the first week of November when he won his maiden World Championship, where he beat compatriot and three-time champion Ramy Ashour in the title clash at home.
Gawad also became just the third Egyptian after three-time champion Ashour and Amr Shabana to win a world title.
The Qatar Classic was Gawad's first tournament since the Worlds and he made sure that he started from where he left off in Cairo.
"When you're a world champion, people expect you to win. That's a new element I had to get used to during my preparations. I'll have to make sure I'm very consistent if I want to stay in competition with the top boys," added Gawad.
The 25-year-old knows El Shorbagy for many years, hopes their rivalry will continue for the good of the game.
"I knew that I could never relax against somebody like Mohamed (El Shorbagy). And I'm very happy to win in three straight games against him, because he's known for his fightbacks. I've been competing with him since the age of eight! I know there're many more battles to come. This is only the beginning," he concluded.

Faced with a strike that has idled two of the country's largest cities, the government on Tuesday canceled a contract with a French-run water company. President Carlos Mesa has warned he will resign if the spreading cost-of-living protests turn violent.
Protests launched Tuesday in Santa Cruz, a city of over one million people, drew hundreds of thousands of people outraged by a government-ordered hike in the price of gasoline. The strike in Santa Cruz, Bolivia's largest city, which is about 570km southeast of the capital, La Paz, is an expansion of demonstrations launched Monday in the neighboring city of El Alto.
Strike organizers in El Alto, led by neighborhood organizer Abel Mamani, have demanded the government drop a 10 to 23 percent increase in the price of gasoline, and have vowed to continue the protests until the government agrees to their demands, among which was canceling the contract with the water utility controlled by Lyonnaise des Eaux of France.
Protesters claim the utility charges residents excessive rates and has failed to extend service to poor neighborhoods since it began operating in Bolivia in 1997.
On Tuesday, the government agreed to that demand.
In a letter to the leaders of the strike made public by the government, Public Works Minister Jorge Urquidi said the decision to rescind the contract "through the legal available means" was made after the company refused to review it.
Protest leaders said a decision will be made in the next few hours on whether to end the strike.
But the government remained adamant on maintaining the price hike, arguing that inexpensive gasoline in Bolivia is encouraging smuggling to neighboring countries and threatens to produce a supply crunch at home. In Chile, for example, a liter of gasoline is about double the US$0.42 per liter charged in Bolivia before the increase.
In Santa Cruz, shops and offices were closed and the main access routes to the city were blocked by protesters. The strike in El Alto halted traffic between the city and La Paz, the capital.
Sporadic street protests have been reported in other Bolivian cities, including La Paz, but so far strikes have only taken place in Santa Cruz and El Alto, a city of 750,000.
So far, the protests have been peaceful.
But Mesa threatened to resign should the protests turn into a repeat of the violent, October 2003 demonstration that left dozens dead and prompted then President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada to resign.
Protest leader Mamani said the movement is not seeking to oust Mesa.

Seniors Can Cover Funeral Expenses by Purchasing Life Insurance!
Death is the end of all living beings and the bringer of eternal rest. But while you will be resting in peace, others will suffer because of your loss. Besides emotional sufferance, death of a dear person can cause financial hardship for the relatives of that deceased.
This does not have to be a burden if you plan your burial. We all know that death is inevitable and prearranging a funeral will help you get an honorable funeral ceremony. Now, seniors can cover funeral expenses by purchasing life insurance. We recommend them to search first for senior life insurance quotes.
The cost of a funeral is constantly increasing with each year and you can alleviate the costs if you carefully purchase life insurance. Visit first a local funeral home and ask about the priced services and how much they cost. Next, visit the pastor or bishop (depending on your religion) and ask about the prices for clerical services.
To sum it up, your family will have to pay for: digging fee, clerical services, body embalming, body transport, floral decoration, transport vehicle, cemetery plot and the list seems without end.
The total cost is usually more than $10.000 and this is now. In the future year the costs are expected to increase. So, make sure to purchase a policy that covers the minimum costs.
If you get that policy early, you may pay cheaper premiums. But price of premiums is the last thing you should worry. Final expense insurance is a cheap policy, with premiums locked at the same value and with tax-free death benefit.
You can easily qualify for final expense insurance, even if you do not have any traditional life insurance. Furthermore, you can qualify for it without having to take any medical exam. However, you are not eligible for it if you have a terminal condition or you live in a nursing home.

If you do not like running or roller-skating then probably you will like cycling the best. But before you start to cycle, make sure that the bike is suited for your body. Learn how to break and change gears. Also there is an important role of your buttocks in order there would not be any blood circulation problems you should buy a seat with a larger seating area (closed seat with upholstery in the middle).
A woman should find a seat with a narrow front area and a wider part in the back of the seat. Men seats are longer and wider. While cycling you should sit vertically in order not to overload you spinal musculature.
When cycling with a bike the biggest load is for your heart, circulation of blood and lungs and also thigh musculature is strengthened. Knee- joints and back instead are loaded less because they do not have to take such impact loads as in running. Cycling is a good alternative if you for example have injured leg and you have to put off your running or jogging exercise.
Cycling is divided in: Mountain, BMX and freeway cycling.

You think, maybe, you want to visit The Magic Kingdom around Christmas time? I say DO IT. It is magical and beautiful and charming. But if you haven't begun planning, you'd better get on that. As in today.
We are already at the point where most resort and park restaurants are sold out of dining reservations at any normal meal times.
Are you thinking of visiting The Magic Kingdom on a day where they are having the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party? If so, you may be interested in these tips I wrote last year after an amazing 6 hours engulfed in the joy and magic of the season (despite that it was not even Thanksgiving yet).
- The Christmas party requires a special ticket, about $65-$70 per adult. It is less expensive than a full-day park pass but you cannot enter the park until afternoon.
- The Christmas party begins at 7:00 p.m., but ticket holders are allowed through the Magic Kingdom gates at 4:00 p.m. - people will begin lining up at least 20 minutes early.
- Only Christmas party ticket holders can enjoy the special holiday parade, shows, castle projection show, and fireworks on party nights. Disney Cast members line the pathways at various points throughout the park, checking for the party wristbands, so get the ticket if you want to attend.
- Select food service locations throughout the park offer FREE tasty treats like snickerdoodle cookies and hot chocolate.
Choose a less popular day. In the past, the December weekend party nights have been sold out and jam-packed. We intentionally chose the Friday before Thanksgiving week, and it was a very good choice. Florida schools were still in session until the following Wednesday.

Our heritage runs deep in the Morgan Park neighborhood of Duluth, a historic community whose families we have served for generations. Our proud heritage stems from serving the financial needs of the steel workers in the Morgan Park community. In 1997, we built an office in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, where we found an active community of entrepreneurial businesses who find our level of service meets their needs and exceeds their expectations. Our Lincoln Park Office is growing rapidly, now our busiest facility and is slated for our next expansion project.
Focusing on the independent entrepreneur, we expanded again in 2004 to Minneapolis. The staff in our Nicollet Mall office are providing the community members with quality one-on-one contact and state-of-the-art technology.
