A Personal Note from Sherri "20 Year Milestone"
This past week marked a big milestone in Sherris Great Island Adventure so I feel its worth mentioning to you. It was 20 years ago this past week that I decided to make the journey from Dallas to Cozumel in a cute little beach buggy of a car: my 1992 GEO Tracker ~ Canary Yellow with Pink stripes and a soft top for taking off later to catch rays at the beach.
Having driven a 7 Series BMW for years in Dallas, I still fell in love with the GEO the minute I drove it off the lot back in 1994. Sitting way up high and bouncing down the highway care free was somehow more appealing to me at the moment than high performance. Being single it was difficult for me to justify owning 2 cars but I remember telling my parents that this GEO was the ultimate diver beach buggy that suited my new island life in Cozumel. I also recall them practically fainting as I told them I was going to DRIVE the GEO through Mexico and over to the island. I blamed it all on a guy named Mike Thompson who back then, was also from Dallas and living on the island. There were nothing but crappy rust buckets available for purchase in Cozumel back then along with stories of how it just couldnt be done ~ driving a car all the way from Texas to Cozumel. That alone was motivation for a Texas guy like Mike to make the trip. Mike bought an olive green jeep, loaded it up with beer (I would imagine from what I recall of the fine partying Mike!) and struck out on the journey from Dallas to Cozumel. He made it safely with beer to spare in about 5 days.
My parents were not impressed nor convinced by Mikes Mexico travel adventure. But in their always loving way, they found it in their hearts to be as supportive as possible of my life adventures. I had walked a pretty safe path in my life up to that point and now it was as if I was making a road where there was none. My dad asked one of his friends, David Chavez to make the trip with me and keep his baby safe through the interior of Mexico where roads were sparse, signs non-existent and very few Mexicans who had ventured beyond the outskirts of their own pueblo to know which way to go to get to the Caribbean. You can read the rest of the story in my book of adventures some day but essentially David did all of the drinking and driving and I did all of the worrying and navigating via an ancient map that we ended up using as emergency toilet paper along the way.
So this is a big SALUTE AND HUG not only to Mike who blazed the trail from Dallas for the rest of us but also to David and my sweet yellow GEO that I still drive today here on the island! It had 17,500 miles on it as we arrived here to the island June 16, 1994 and right now it has 97,500 miles on it. So I guess you could say Ive been driving in circles for 80,000 miles now! Its really a good thing that GEO cant speak ~ my oh my what stories it could tell. LOL!!
And what an amazing GIRL car the GEO has been! I change the oil regularly, fill it up with gas and keep air in the tires and it simply never fails me! We can only wish for all other things in our lives to be so hassle free! Here are the THEN and NOW pics of my aging GEO with its original paint job and a few extra stickers on it! I'm a bit sentimental about it...?can you tell?!! Thats David there too who helped ensure a most excellent beginning to Sherris Great Island Adventure!

Sherri, I did receive both email confirmations. Thank you again for your great customer support and service in getting these activities scheduled for me. I will recommend your site to all of my friends who visit the island. Thanks again!!

We cannot begin to express our thanks to Sherri and the staff at IslaMar Villas for our wonderful 11-night stay. This was our third time staying at IslaMar Villas and for us it's the only place to stay in Cozumel. It has truly become our home away from home. We love the apartments, the courtyard and pool, and the warm and friendly neighborhood.
We also used "COZUMELINSIDER" to book our car rental with Avis. It went very smoothly and you guys also helped us trade in our little Chevy Pop for something a little bigger.
A big THANK YOU to Sherri for introducing us to a wonderful private driver on the mainland and for arranging our excursion to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Akumal. We were so happy that we decided to finally venture off the island and go to the mainland to see the ruins. The driver Sherri arranged for us was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we saw things we wouldn't have even known about had we taken the car ferry and driven on our own. To anyone looking for a private tour of places on the mainland, we highly recommend asking Sherri to arrange it for you. It was well worth it!
Thank you again, Sherri! Your kindness and warm hospitality makes us choose IslaMar Villas and your services over and over again.
R & M Browning ~ Superior, CO
Thank you so much for all your help! We took you tour to Chitchen-Itza in june. We were the couple that missed the tour because we did not get the wake up call. Because you went the extra mile with us (by finding us a tour operator that would honor our voucher the next day) I am extremely greatful. it certainly made our vacation. I will DEFINITELY recommend your website COZUMELINSIDER to anybody who will listen. thanks again!

Dear Sherri,
Our family met you just a week ago when we arrived in Cozumel, a little overwhelmed and in need of a hotel. You gave us great suggestions and we had a lovely week at Hotel Cozumel. I wanted to write and thank you for all your time and consideration. We also followed your beach suggestions and had wonderful snorkeling. Thank you, Sherri, for taking the time with us. And thank you for your wonderful website. We wish you the very best in the New Year and always.
Foley Family ~ Minnesota
Sherri ~ WOW!!! We just returned from our cruise! What a wonderful time we had!! Your COZUMELINSIDER.com bookings for our Dolphin snorkel adventure and Sea Trek were the highlight of the cruise. They were easy and saved us about half the cost of booking through the cruise line. We simply hopped into a cab and spent the day at the Park (we could have spent a week there.) They were even able to work us into the Sea Trek early. All the people were friendly, helpful and overall just treated us great. While we were standing around waiting a short little man came up and ask if we wanted a snorkel tour. I instantly remembered what you had said and looked at his name tag. It was Mario! His tour was fantastic! If you see him ask him if he remembers Señor Ed and his family (he never caught that my name was Ted, but thats okay!) I had a waterproof digital camera and he snapped lots of pictures of us. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to you, your website and staff!
I know you probably get lots of pictures but I had to send you three. Look at the smiles on my boys faces. That says it all! Thank you so much for all your help and advice. We cant wait to return. Your website is the first place we will stop! I wish we could have met in person. We will next time!

Halloween Silhouette Wedding Cake Toppers
These Halloween inspired silhouette cake toppers from Etsy shop Plasticsmith are the perfect mix of horror and modern design for a ghoulish wedding.
These Halloween inspired silhouette cake toppers from Etsy shop Plasticsmith are the perfect mix of horror and modern design for a ghoulish wedding.
Imgur user felosoraptor shared her gorgeous DIY Comic Book wedding bouquet made from pages of Deadpool and Army of Darkness comics. The couple's wedding photographer Gage Blake Photography took a beautiful shot of the final product which included a 35mm film roll to represent the bride who also happens to be a photographer.
Get entangled in this Poison Ivy inspired wedding.
This Wonder Woman/comic book themed boudoir photo shoot captured by Sherry Sutton Photography features the perfect mix of geekiness and sensuality lassoed together in one hot wedding gift for her Husband. "Amanda wanted to give her fiance Stefano something special for their wedding, says photographer Sherry. "He LOVES comic books, and he loves her, so she decided to combine the two into a comic book themed boudoir session. It's everything from classically sexy to downright campy."
Planes, comic books and a mix of vintage details highlight today's eclectic wedding from photographer Kelly Redinger. "We really wanted the day to not only be about our marriage, but be about us," says bride Bethany. "We tried to incorporate a lot of the things we love and a lot of the things we initially connected over, and that led to a rather interesting mix of vintage details and geekery!"
I'm always blown away by photographer Jervy Santiago's cinematic engagement shoots and this two part comic book inspired production, yes production, is no exception.
I'm a sucker for button and brooch bouquets they make a great after wedding keepsake and have a Steampunk feel to them, and Etsy shop Beaubuttons takes my favorite style to the next nerdy level by adding a comic book twist.
Vintage bombers and a heavy dose of red, white and blue highlight today's patriotic engagement shoot from Lisa Marie Figueroa Photography. "Andrea and Davis wanted a very comfortable but colorful engagement session that emphasized Davis' military background," says Lisa. Shot at Lyon's Air Museum in Santa Ana, CA which houses authentic aircraft, rare vehicles and related memorabilia from World War II.
A mix of Asian street fashion and American Comics designer Song Ja Park, owner of Cake Shop Couture, teases cake but offers up cute, geeky dresses instead.
Everyone needs a player two and for Patrick the search for his was over when he met Katie in high school. "We've built our relationship on Game Boys, chess boards, and boxes of comics," says Patrick, "because these are all things to be shared and experienced together, and with Katie as my Player 2, every adventure is more exciting, every challenge is more rewarding, and every moment is a lifetime of happiness."

The fact is most creative endeavors involving paste, paint, and paper with my children make part of me cringe, not because I don't enjoy activities with my kids, but because I have two left thumbs when it comes to crafting, two left feet when it comes to movement of most kinds, and find I tend to operate from the left side of my brain when required to use my right.
But if there is one thing that we all have to do, it is eat. And I am the kind of mom who feeds my children, nourishing, wholesome, from-the-earth kinds of food, if I might add. Usually. Not all the time-one hundred percent, but darn it if I don't try. And since I am the kind of mom who doesn't do all those other amazing mom kinds of things, usually. But am the kind of mom who feeds her children, I've decided to have fun with it, roll up our sleeves, get our hands involved, get messy and most of all have fun. I like to play with my children and it follows that I encourage us to play with our food.
Perhaps another reason I emphasize food is because I've been blessed with children who eat their veggies, although kale did take some convincing. Sleep on the other hand is another story or more exactly waking at the first hint of dawn. It makes for a long day of whether we're in the kitchen or reluctantly making tissue paper flowers on Popsicle sticks.
I've created some recipes that serve well as special occasion dishes or something to break the monotony of mac-n-cheese, grilled cheese, repeat. Although those are delicious and have their place, I get burned out and all that cheese, well, you know.
Others are just for, well, fun---See my Graham Cracker Cookie Biscuits AKA Scooby Snacks/Dog bones here . And...
Please stay tuned for more recipes in this series while we have fun with our food.

I am searching for additional information on Anna Wicks. Based on family history, she is reported to have come from Savannah, Wayne Co., NY and had many cousins there. All I know is that she was born about 1859 and died at age 38 (7 June 1897) in Ilion, Herkimer Co., NY. She married William Henry Footherape. They had one daughter, Ellen Wicks Footherape, born 9 Apr 1894 in Ilion.
I would love to find out more information about her family. I have much about her descendants, but nothing about her ancestors. It is possible that her family was recorded in the censuses as Weeks or Weaks??
TIA for any additional information!

2010 Ford Escape Tail Light Assembly
Excellent fit! Went right in with no problems - perfect in every way! Good job by the staff at Parts Geek - I would highly recommend using Parts Geek
Looked on line for a new tail light that was smashed. Parts geek was the least expensive, it came in 3 days. Perfect fit.
The tail light was delivered in a timely fashion. The product arrived well packaged and undamaged. It fits and works well. And the price was outstanding!
Product arrived in 4 days and that is great response. Light fit perfectly and took all of 15 minutes to change.
this tail light was 79% cheaper than anyone else itwas at my door fast and was an exact fit I am very satisfied with parts geek and the quality of their product I will shop here again in the future.
2 days after buying our Escape I backed up and broke out the rear tailight. After pricing them you were by far the best deal. It fit and looks like new.

Dennis wrote in in 1993 to tell of a vacation he took with his parents when he was a mere 5 years old.
"We were in a little fishing village in Puerto Rico when I got the mumps. There was no doctor in the village, but there was a doctor that had a weekend beach house down the road from our hotel. He took care of me.
"During my recovery, my parents became friendly with him and his wife and their little girl, Jackie. But the only contact the families had over the next 15 years was exchanging Christmas cards. Then one day, my dad had business in the city where the doctor and his family had their main home. He got in touch with him, and they decided that we would all return to the fishing village for the holidays.
"By this time, I was a senior in college and Jackie had changed quite a bit since we had last met. The attraction was there, but we were both involved with other people and nothing happened.
"My mother asked Jackie to visit us at our summer home. The summer was almost over when she called one day and asked if the invitation was still on. My mother said sure, and she arrived the next day.
"Instead of staying the two weeks she had planned, she stayed four and a half months. She returned the following summer, and we were married in November. Eighteen years and two kids later, I can only say: Beware of Puerto Rican mumps. The complications can last a lifetime."
Dennis is back to say, "Well, I'm still recovering from the Puerto Rican mumps. Next November will be our 39th anniversary. And aside from acquiring a bride as a result of that trip, I acquired an entire culture and a second language, as well.
"We moved down to Miami in 1996 as my island girl just couldn't take another Chicago winter. Although I'd been working in advertising until then (22 years at Leo Burnett, three of them in Venezuela and Puerto Rico due to further complications from those damn mumps), I was hired by the Spanish-language TV network Univision as a creative director for the company and am still with them today.
"Our kids are both married with the oldest expecting our first grandchild in April. We have a vacation condo down in Puerto Rico and living in Miami is only moderately less Latin. All in all, we've had a most interesting life so far living in both cultures."
There's a postscript to this tale. When Dennis sent me the story, back in 1993, he didn't tell his wife. He wanted to surprise her. When it ran, he showed it to her. The names had been changed, as they always are.
"She read the story, then she said, 'Wow, this couple met just like we did. Amazing! I wonder if there's any way to contact them so we can compare stories?' When I informed her that was our story, she was somewhat embarrassed, but nonetheless pleased."

Regulars here would know that our old boat is steel, that we have just moved up in size and this time we've gone glass.
The first thing that strikes me about your proposed purchase is the age. I frankly do not think I would ever consider a 30 year old steeler. Seems to me you are asking for a world of pain. I admit she looks like she has been well looked after, at least from the pics.
Ultimately it does come down to an issue of maintenance. Steel is, without doubt labour intensive. No getting around it.
From a performance perspective at around 42' the weight disadvantage is going to dissipate but even so you will lose a knot or so compared to a similar boat in GRP and while yes Osmosis can be a problem in glass boats it is not an ongoing maintenance issue, as such.
We bought our old girl despite the fact she was steel and we loved her dearly. A desire for a bit more space down below was about the only reason we moved on. The VDS34 happened to be a design I have always admired so I was happy to go metal but I seriously doubt I would ever go steel again.
Final point, steel can often be a very economical alternative to glass providing you are in for the long term as you will of course get less when you eventually do sell.

Knesset building with State symbol 390.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
In every newly elected Knesset there are 30- 40 totally new MKs. This time the
number is close to 50 – in other words around 40 percent of the Knesset. This is
a very high figure, though nowhere near what happened in the 1992 elections in
Italy, when due to serious political scandals, the disbandment of the Communist
Party and a change in the electoral system the whole Italian party make-up
changed, and following the elections a large majority of the members in both
Houses (if I remember correctly the figure was around 90%) were totally
new.Though some might say that the 19th Knesset is the outcome of a
scandalous situation that developed during the course of the 18th, in which both
the political and economic Right went a little too far in the eyes of close to
half the Israeli voters, there has been no change in the electoral system, there
were no earthshaking political scandals, and though at least one political party
turned from the largest parliamentary group in the 18th Knesset to the smallest
in the 19th (Kadima), this was due to political factors, not legal
ones.The vast number of new MKs is certainly going to pose a serious
challenge for the Knesset administration, which customarily offers new MKs a
brief crash course on how the Knesset works, MKs' rights and duties, and the
services made available to them by the Knesset. Since the usual situation is
that new MKs join more experienced ones in their respective parliamentary
groups, the new MKs can also count on the assistance of their more experienced
colleagues, and the staff of their respective parliamentary groups.But
what happens when all the members of a parliamentary group are new, as is the
parliamentary group itself? In the past there were in the Knesset cases of new
parliamentary groups, all of whose members were new, but it was always small
groups with a number of MKs that at most could be counted on the fingers of a
single hand.THE SITUATION with regard to Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid is
different. Yesh Atid, which with its 19 seats will be the second largest
parliamentary group in the 19th Knesset, and apparently the second most
important component of the new coalition, is in a unique situation.Due
to its size the Yesh Atid parliamentary group will be called upon to bring forth
candidates to chair several important statutory committees in the Knesset (that
is, if Lapid finally joins the coalition, as he is expected to do), and one
deputy speaker, and we are talking about a group of people most of whom are
totally new to politics, and many of whom have never set foot in either the
Knesset plenum or any Knesset committee.Hopefully the new parliamentary
group will not only make full use of all the assistance and services that the
Knesset itself has to offer, including those of the Knesset Secretariat, the
Knesset Legal Department and the Knesset Research and Information Center, but
will also mobilize some former MKs from the defunct Shinui Party, which in its
last incarnation was headed by Yair Lapid's father Tommy Lapid, to see them
through the initial phase.Two of the figures they could approach are
Professor Amnon Rubinstein, a former minister and MK who is also the author of a
book on Israeli constitutional law, and Attorney Avraham Poraz, who is also a
former minister and MK, and intimately familiar with the causes that can bring
about the fall of a promising party (Shinui had six MKs in the 15th Knesset, 15
in the 16th and none in the 17th).It is impossible to say in advance
whether the Yesh Atid MKs will shine and thrive, or wither and wilt in the next
four years. Will we have a repeat performance of Raful and his seven dwarfs
(that is how they were referred to in the media at the time) in the case of
Tsomet in the 13th Knesset (1992-96), where eventually the seven new faces
brought to the Knesset by Rafael Eitan disappeared without leaving much of a
mark (except for the scandal of Dr.Gonen Segev and Alex Goldfarb – the
first ended up in prison on drug smuggling charges, the name of the second is
remembered in connection with the Mitsubishi he received upon joining Rabin's
government)? Or will Lapid's 18 recruits prove that novices can do better? IN AN
article in The Economist's December 1, 2012, issue, entitled "Outsiders can make
the best leaders – and also the worst," the British weekly reviewed what several
authors, including Professor Gautam Mukunda (author of Indispensable), and
William Thorndike (author of The Outsiders), had to say on the subject of
totally new and totally inexperienced leaders in politics and industry
respectively. The Economist' s conclusion was that "it is best to avoid
outsiders if things are humming along fine... [but] if things have
stopped humming... then you should look for an outsider."Assuming that
the situation in Israel is at least approaching the latter case, it will be
interesting to see how Yesh Atid in general and Yair Lapid in particular fare
over the next four years.Certainly there is reason for hope. But let us
also hope that it will not all end in another colossal disappointment for the
sane political center.The writer is a former Knesset employee.

10 hours 40 minutes unabridged
Genres: young adult
Filed in: Audiobook Reviews

PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY: When Emma Sasha Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmare accident, she must relearn everything from walking across the street to recognizing her own sisters to imagining colors. One of seven children, Emma used to be the invisible kid, but now it seems everyone is watching her. And just as she's about to start high school and try to recover her friendships and former life, one of her classmates is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fifteen and blind, Emma has to untangle what happened and why - in order to see for herself what makes life worth living.
Unflinching in its portrayal of Emma's darkest days, yet full of hope and humor, Rachel DeWoskin's brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the listener into the life and experience of another.
©2014 Rachel DeWoskin (P)2014 Listening Library
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: So you may not be aware of this if you haven't done much exploring around Audiobook-Heaven, but I used to be blind. Long story, but I was blind for almost three years before recovering my eyesight. It was an interesting time in my life to say the least: learning to walk and use the computer and lots of other things all over again. In fact that was when I was introduced to audiobooks, which I still love even now that I have my sight back and it was because of my own experience as a blind person that initially drew me to Rachel DeWoskin's Blind.
Main character Emma was a pretty ordinary teenager before her accident. She was at an age where she was starting to notice boys even if they weren't noticing her. Like most teenagers she was still a bit self-centered. Then in the blink of an eye, so to speak, her whole life changed. Everything she took for granted had to be relearned. Emma, already an introvert, drew even further into herself and often lashed out at those closest to her. Leaving her old friends and going to a special school for the blind was tortuous. But as she gradually learns to navigate a world designed for the sighted, her true healing begins. This is Emma's coming-of-age story. Helped along by her accident, the death of a classmate, and the betrayal of a best friend, Emma matures into a strong and courageous young woman, even someone that others look to for leadership. It's the story of the difficult journey that we all must make at some point in our lives.
Listening to the story of how Emma lost her sight in a tragic Fourth-of-July accident and had to learn new ways of doing all the things she used to take for granted struck a deeply resonant chord in me. I was vividly transported back to my own blind days as Emma walked with her cane, learned how to pour a drink without spilling, and struggled to find a balance between independence and the need for help. I totally related to her initial feelings of wanting to be left alone, to become invisible, but as Emma herself says, "…being blind is the exact opposite of being invisible." I thought for sure that Rachel DeWoskin must be blind to have captured the experience so deftly but I read her bio on Wikipedia and it doesn't mention anything about it. I'm guessing she has probably spent a good deal of time with a blind person because she shows an amazingly in-depth knowledge of what it's like.
Blind is a great book for anyone who has experienced being blind, but I think it has a much more general appeal than that. We all, mostly when we're young but not always, suffer from blindness, some of us literally and others figuratively. Growing up and learning how to navigate in the world is a process we must all go through. Rachel DeWoskin's description of Emma's journey would be a good read for anyone.
Annalie Gernert's narration was entirely appropriate for this book. Her voice was an excellent match for main character Emma, not only the physical sound of her voice but her intonation and inflection. Gernert captured Emma's wit and sarcasm perfectly. Her voice actually reminded me a lot of Emma Galvin, which is high praise indeed (see the 2012 Halo Awards). Annalie is relatively new to the audiobook industry and has only a handful of books to her credit but I predict she will have a long and successful career in the field if she chooses to stick with it.

- It Has PotentialsorpresivoDined on 8/28/2014This review is for the full-service, seated dinner on the top floor. The menu features a variety of affordable appetizers / small plates and entrees. The various ceviches stood out as being particularly flavorful and tasty. Entree-wise, the halibut looks good on the menu -- but in a city where upscale halibut dishes are creatively presented and more importantly spot-on flavor-wise, this one just didn't match up. The wine list offers some nice varietals that aren't easily found elsewhere. The service was pleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best hidden secretcircuitdDined on 8/25/2014Brunch is amazing, until you try their dinners. I love this place. Food is perfect every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Servicemtf419VIPDined on 8/10/2014I have never had bad service at LaTaza. The food is much better than the building and menu would suggest, with fresh ingredients prepared expertly and generous portions at a reasonable price. It's easy to locate the cafe downstairs/dining upstairs on a bustling stretch of 18th Street just past Castro Street.Special Features:
- The following 1 reviews are from the La Taza Latin Bistro reviews archive.
- Very GoodAndrewVIPDined on 7/11/2014There are several places in SF that serve Peruvian cuisine and La Taza holds its own against any of them. The preparations are more rustic and probably closer to the original than what you will find elsewhere. Full service only happens on the top floor of three. It's attentive and perhaps a bit more than you would like. Even then, the whole experience is just fine. On sunny days choose the balcony. For those that eschew mini-chains, La Taza is actually not one of them; though their website implies otherwise. It's the only restaurant of their three "cafe" locations. Good food in somewhat spartan atmosphere makes you feel like you are are getting the real thing. It all works and it tastes great.Special Features:


text: Yes, it's not the Ritz but all we needed was a place to sleep while visiting Bedford. I'm not a hotel snob but do enjoy a nice place to stay. However, you don't have a whole lot of choice when you are in Bedford. I read the reviews of this motel plus the Days Inn and Super 8 and after speaking with manager, decided that we were not above staying in this motel. The room was just fine for what we needed. Beds were adequate. Bathroom was clean and plenty of hot water. We did kill one little bug but that can happen anywhere. All in all, don't be afraid to stay at The Bedford Motel.

Ms. Iveta Radicova PRIME MINISTER OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC IN THE GENERAL DEBATE OF THE 66 th SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY NEW YORK 24 SEPTEMBER 2011 Permanent Mission of the Slovak Repnblic to the United Nations 801 Second Avenue, 12th, Floor, New York, N.Y 10017 Phone: (212) 286-8880, Fax: (212) 286-8419 Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Distinguished Heads of States and Governments, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a distinct honour and pleasure for me to address this Assembly at the outset of its 66 th session. This forum provides us with unparalleled opportunity to strengthen, through dialogue, our concerted efforts in the quest for solutions to the mounting challenges the international community faces today. We, the leaders in the United Nations, are expected to offer guidance and find solutions. Mr. President, I am convinced that under your able leadership and profound diplomatic experience, we will be able to make this session a successful one. I wish you every success in your demanding duties and assure you of my delegation's full support and assistance. I also wish to express my delegation's appreciation and gratitude for the exquisite work of your predecessor, His Excellency Mr. Joseph Deiss who so skillfully guided our proceedings during the 65th session. Let me also join others in paying tribute to the remarkable work of the newly re-elected Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon. We deeply value his eminent personal and diplomatic qualities and look forward to working with him during his next tenure. Slovakia warmly welcomes the Republic of South Sudan as a new member of the United Nations family. We wish South Sudan every success and above all peace, security and prosperity to its people. 1 Mr. President, Her Excellency Dilma Rousseff, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil, opened her speech with these words: "For the first time in the history of the United Nations, a female voice opens the General Debate. It is the voice of democracy and equality." And the main challenge for ongoing years Madam President expressed in two words - courage and sincerity. This challenge is accurate in the moment of an economic and debt crisis. We have to say openly that we still do not have adequate solutions. We are facing common risks in economy, in government and politics. Citizens all over the world expect leadership and a mutual synergy of economy and politics. The majority of the world population expect economic growth, prosperity and better quality of life. Those living in poverty, millions of people without jobs, without water, without food expect real answers, quick action and results from political leaders. What can such a small country as Slovakia do to address these challenges? First, it has to do its own homework in stabilizing the economy. That means pension system sustainability through deep reforms. Fiscal responsibility act which will ensure that fiscal policy is responsible towards future generations and counter-cyclical. That means labour market reforms which support the creation of new jobs the country badly needs, especially for some of its vulnerable groups. That means lowering the administrative burden and decreasing barriers in entrepreneurship, improving predictability of the legal environment, and a wider use of e-Government services. And of course, that means measures to tackle corruption and to increase transparency, for example by legal act ensuring that any contract concerning the use of public funds is valid only if published on the internet. 2 Mr. President, The Slovak Republic is a small country, but it is a part of the Eurozone, which is in deep economic troubles. The courage and the sincerity are mostly needed these days in Europe. The financial crisis and its negative influence upon the entire European banking sector have clearly shown that the Eurozone was not prepared for a crisis. The chaos when addressing these issues only deepened the general distrust and worsened the subsequent economic recession. The majority of European Union countries did not use the good economic times to consolidate their budgets. Therefore, in many cases, the consequences of the recession shifted public debt into dangerous territory. We need courage in the Eurozone to return back to the old principles which are necessary for successful international cooperation and integration. We need stricter European and national fiscal rules. We need institute of controlled default. And we need new rules for careful management of the financial sector. We need sincerity, we have to be honest to our citizens, because we have to be very careful that the answer for forcing technical solutions of the debt crisis would not be the escalation of nationalism and populism. There is a chance that we will save the Eurozone economically, but at the same time, we must minimise the risk of loosing the project of European integration politically and devalue it in the eyes of our voters. Mr. President, it is not just Europe, every region of the world struggles today with serious economic difficulties. We live in global interdependent reality in which we can not afford to ignore anybody's problems. In this regard we believe, as a member of the Economic and Social Council that this body has the capacity to contribute more significantly to our joint efforts. To be able to do that we feel the urgency to adjust its mandate and enhance its ability to react more swiftly to economic and social needs of the world. 3 In times of dire financial restriction of our own national budgets, we, as the United Nations, also need to learn to do more with lesser resources. We welcome every effort the Secretary-General makes at utilizing the provided resources with maximum effectiveness and efficiency. Mr. President, Peace. and security is ever harder to keep in these harsh crisis times. One of Slovakia's priorities in the fight against international terrorism remains the endeavour to move forward the negotiations on the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. With regard to the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, Slovakia will continue in its implementation through concrete projects as it did by co-organizing special event on "Implementing the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in Central Asia" in Bratislava in December 2010. The respect for international law, human rights and the rule of law should be an integral part of the fight against international terrorism. Peacekeeping missions are one of the most visible and successful activities of the United Nations and the true expression of the commitment to maintain peace and security around the globe. The Slovak Republic is active member in United Nations Forces in Cyprus since 2001 and it is involved in the Middle East. In recent decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of the United Nations peacekeeping missions in unprecedent manner. They become increasingly high on-demand, their mandates are widening and the management more complex. Thus, Slovakia supports every measure aimed to increase their effectiveness and efficiency, especially in the era of constrained budgets. Peace is not merely an absence of war. Peace means safety in all areas of people's lives: economic prosperity, social stability, respect for human rights and fundamental 4 freedoms, access to health care and education, protection of environment, but also access to water and food. There is no chance for lasting peace without sustainable development. And this is an area we still have to work a lot and make concerned effort. Slovak aid is aimed at most troubled regions around the world since 2003. Recently, Slovakia is providing development and humanitarian aid in 41 projects to help starving children in Kenya, to deliver food and water in Ethiopia, humanitarian help in South Sudan, Pakistan, to help refugees from Libya to Tunisia, and also to provide technical assistance for countries in the Western Balkans and in the Middle East. Slovakia helps to secure democratization process in Afghanistan through 13 new projects. Mr. President, Slovakia is convinced, that mediation and peaceful settlement of disputes is the right path to follow, especially in times when cost of peacekeeping is skyrocketing. Mediation of disputes is the savviest of investments and the most efficient way to prevent conflicts before they escalate. In this connection, we welcome the adoption of the first General Assembly resolution, which Slovakia co-sponsored, dedicated specifically to supporting mediation as essential tool for maintaining peace and security. We need to focus on eliminating the primary causes of conflicts, not just deal hastily with their grave consequences which so sadly often happen only after too many lives have been destroyed. No effort should be spared in exploring all political and diplomatic options to stop conflicts at their roots. Mediation has proved to yield tangible results. I want to stress the important role of women in these processes as it is often under-estimated. Slovakia is a firm supporter of effective multilateralism with the central role of the United Nations. Concentrated efforts help create just and lasting solutions. 5 Mr. President, Yet again, this is going to be a challenging session for all of us. It calls for renewed shared commitment to the fundamental principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter. We cannot afford to lose ability to understand each other's needs because of our own domestic problems. In these hard times, I wish to all of us enough strength to find necessary and mutual solutions. Thank you, Mr. President. 6

Man, this is just about the best book that ever was. It's a kiddie book full of Op Art wonder. It's black and white but its magic makes your eyes feel funny. Wizard of Op, see? Shame there isn't a cover image so you can appreciate its glory.

Tarte • Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Exposed • Blush

I him-hawed around in getting this, seemingly forever. Always would google around for dupes. Finally swatched it on my cheeks one day at Ulta. I finally saw what the buzz was about. It is like a healthy, natural blush that comes from within. I agree it is pretty versatile and would work with many other makeup shades. I have found the Tarte Amazonian clay blushes to last forever. I have one of the 'sample' sizes of Dollface Pink that is getting pretty old and I've used time and again and looks like hardly a dent was made. Exposed wears beautifully and does not turn weird colors. Would re-purchase again, but as I said, these tend to last frever, so it will probably be a while. ;)

I really did like the shade but I was not a fan of the consistency. It was too hard, not soft and pigmented like I prefer. As a result, I had to swirl my brush around a lot to get some color, and I had already hit pan after only a month or so. There are better blushes, most for cheaper, too.

HG blush right here. I use it as a blush/bronzer hybrid by sweeping it under the apples of my cheeks. It looks natural, lasts all day, and blends beautifully with your skin/foundation. Will buy this forever.

I love Tarte blushes. A few years ago when my skin had a cesspool of oil on it, these were the things that lasted all day on my cheeks. Now that my skin is normal I can end my day with these still on my cheeks when I go to remove makeup. Exposed was a color that I saw a blogger/youtuber recommend. Being mindless back that I immediately ran and bought it... because I am clearly a follower. I wore it.. I liked it..it lasted forever. I didn't know I loved it until it finally ran out. I started using MAC blushes in my arsenal and noticed that they wore off my skin after a few hours. I also noticed how much I missed the color Exposed. It is just so flattering on my Light/Medium skin.

Great blush for every day wear! Its a pinky-nude that I think would look great on anyone and stays all day. Tartes blushes are so great for wear time.
The only complaint I have with this one is you have to swirl your brush way more on this than anything else from their blush line. The pigment isn't the same. The color however is amazing and it stays put.
This is one blush that you wont pick up too much with. Its a fairly safe blush that will build in color as you apply.

I used this blush a few times and just thought it was ok. Left in my drawer for months until I wanted to wear my red lipsticks and was looking for a blush to match. This is the perfect blush for that. It is beautiful without being too much for a bright lip. This stays all day. It's one of my favorites now!
I use the real techniques multi task brush and it works great.

For $26, I expect a better product. Way too hard to work with, pickup is terrible. Color is good, even pretty-when you can get it on the brush! Color doesn't wear well. Even lightly dusted with translucent powder, maybe made it 4-5 hours in Southern humidity.

I kinda feel like smacking my own face, but only kinda.
It's pretty. Ya, pretty. For some odd reason I was expecting rainbows, unicorns, and every man to dramatically fall to my feet when worn.
Ya, you can rock this with any look, minimal , dramatic, fierce lips , no lips whatev. It's JUST pretty.
If this were 5.99 , then and ONLY then would I be on cloud 9 staring at that unicorn.
I get a weird upset feeling handing over 1.10$ to the dude behind the window at Mickey D's for a 4 piece chicken McNugget, so imaging the feeling handing 30 sum bucks to the lady behind the counter (that doesn't even want to be there) for a pretty blush.
I couldn't care less about packaging ,smell all that Shizuoka. If it performs great and the cost is even better, I wouldn't care if it was gold you had , I don't need it.
But... If the makeup addict In me needs to drop a bit more money for something it better we'll be worth it.
The blush itself Is hard , but workable, didn't blend flawlessly, but somewhat ,nice pink/ mauve brown, I'm sure there's more.

Suited to all skin types, the classic European facial exfoliates the skin and harvests a fresh complexion with enzymes and plant extracts, clearing clogged pores and filling them in with new maple seedlings. As clients wait for the facial to set in, therapists' fingers and thumbs rejuvenate the body's muscles during a 30-minute massage that employs acupressure and shiatsu techniques.

"It would be better if the massage therapist asked what level of pressure the client prefers. Asking for feedback at the beginning of the massage is always a good idea."

for many years I was plagued by a constant misery of acid indigestion and bloating. After eating I could barely move. I traveled with antacids everywhere I went. I noticed an aquaintance of mine using enzymes and, after inquiring about them, decided to try them myself. That was over two decades ago, and I haven't had a single episode of acid reflux since. The difference this had made in my life has been miraculous. Now Foods Super Enzymes is a safe, economical and effective formula. Simply take one before each meal. Hopefully it will do for you what it did for me. Click my user name, alloriginal, to read reviews on all my favorite products! Click YES if my revew helped.
Works wonders for me.

Digestion issues seemed to hit as I got older, lucklily these enzymes are available. I have been using these for a long time now. Completely prevents gas and other digestive upets when 1 tablet is taken at the beginning of a meal. esp. effective when milk, ice cream and other fatty foods could give me a problem, and if I don't take it, I certainly can tell the difference.
Great enzymes!

Have ordered these enzymes for the second time now - and my experience with these are great. They seem to optimize everything in an okay manner - and the synergistic effect of ox bile, pancreatin and betaine/pepsin really helps out. This product is really good for people who struggle with low stomach acid and protein indigestion, multiple food allergies, acid reflux and so forth. I normally do have a strict regimen where I have to be totally off milk and gluten products - this product dont seem to help out too much with milk and gluten. For dairy & gluten issues, I would highly recommend looking into plant derived enzyme formulas with specific DPP IV - enzymes and broad spectrum lactase/ hemicellulase / phytase, maltase and so forth. Anyways, a great product - and very affordable. According to NOW's homepage, this product is free from dairy proteins - so the worst thing that can happen here is a little lactose ( however, I consider this amount to be very small - since I normally struggle with it and haven't noticed ).
