State Department spending would drop by more than $2 billion this year under mandatory, government-wide budget cuts due to take effect in March.
Secretary of State John Kerry detailed the cuts, known formally as sequestration, in a letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, saying they would have far-reaching consequences.
"Our ability to influence and shape world events, protect U.S. interests, increase job-creating opportunities for American businesses, prevent conflict, protect our citizens overseas, and defeat terrorism before it reaches our shores depends on day-to-day diplomatic engagement and increased prosperity worldwide," Kerry said.
He also said the cuts would "severely impair" efforts to "enhance security" of government facilities overseas and "ensure the safety of the thousands of U.S. diplomats serving the American people abroad."
Diplomatic security has been scrutinized since the deadly terror attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September and Kerry has vowed to make it a top priority.
The series of automatic spending cuts, part of a 2011 debt ceiling deal between the White House and Congress, will kick in on March 1, absent a deal to avert or defer them.
The budget cuts overall aim to save nearly $1 trillion over 10 years. Half would come from defense.
Sequestration would cut State Department operations by approximately $850 million this fiscal year, while foreign assistance programs would be cut by approximately $1.7 billion, according to a fact sheet attached to Kerry's letter.
Kerry said about $200 million would be cut from humanitarian assistance accounts at a time when the United States is engaged in major relief efforts around the civil war in Syria and multiple crises in Africa.
Similarly, $500 million would be cut from security assistance accounts that are used for conflict prevention programs around the world.
More than $300 million in cuts to the Foreign Military Financing account would likely affect aid to Israel, Jordan and Egypt, while also cutting contributions to international peacekeeping operations.
In addition, the cuts would "constrain our ability to assist U.S. citizens overseas, often at their darkest of times," Kerry warned of the cuts that would fall to funds that provide overseas emergency assistance.
You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation but I to find this matter to be actually one thing which I think I might by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely large for me. I'm looking ahead for your subsequent put up, I'll try to get the hold of it!

who cares about other countries and helping them when we cant even help ourselves... if we would quit sending millions and billions of dollars to help other countries and use that money to help ourselves.. The govt. also having problems with funding and wanting to cut cut programs and funding stuff that dosent need funding like studying fungus on trees who cares.. lets help each other here in america and the us needs to worry about us and not some other country.. let them defend for there self. We have millions homeless, millions that cant even afford to put food on there table, buy gas, and loosing there homes and jobs everyday. Stop letting these welfare people sit on there butts and make them get a job instead of having more and more children so us working people can raise them. America has there nose in other countries business to much. If they get in a war with each other dose it really effect us.. No.. keep our troops home where they belong instead of sending them to other countries fighting battles that isnt even our business. American needs to take care of there own first and foremost. These politians are the biggest criminals there are making millions of dollars a year and paying less taxes than the average working people who struggle everyday but they want to raise our taxes more and more and make us suffer while they live the good life... Money is the root of all evil and they dont care about the average american. They will tell you everything you want to hear during election then after elected they are like screw the people because im making all the good money great benefits have armed security but lets take away the guns out of americans hands that want to protect there family from the criminals. Gun laws what a joke.. Just look at chicago they have the toughest gun law there is and they have more murders than anyone.. Congress needs to come back down to earth and stop living in there own little world and stop playing with peoples money and there life.. Everyone one of them needs to see what the unemployement line looks like....
Howabout instead of sending foreign aid, we impose a 2% income tax on every individual on earth for maintaining our role as world police and harbinger of freedom.
I am amazed that we want to keep spending. Why cant the Dems STOP? My house hold lost an additional $6000.00 out of my paycheck due to Obama Care and extra taxes.. So what did i do? I readjusted my budget and STOPPED spending, of course it came from providing any donations, time effort or the like to help others in the US apparently the government can do a better job than i can on deciding where i put my money!
So when i hear retards cry about cutting funding to other countries that would rather blow us up than shake our hands i say screw them, pull out of those countries, stop doing business with them, dont let their people come to our country.
When their economies crash because my tax dollars are not feedi. Them. Wont shed a tear.
I hope all you Dems are happy you voted a guy that spends like a teenage school girl with no regaurds to the tax payers!
Yes i am middle class and yes i hate deficit spending
I'm sorry, my friend, but you DID NOT STOP spending. At best, you've REDUCED your spendings and so did the government.
@justannoyed,I don't know where you get your figured smart guy,gal but under Pres.Obama you taxes have been the lowest since before Reagan so quit BSing on here because it ain't working!!I as a retiree haven't seen a tax change and believe me I budget so I know if there's any changes smart guy,gal!!And if you do any research again you'd see Pres.Obama spending at the lowest rate in decades much lower than your heroes Reagan and your Bush clowns who spent like drunks on a Friday night...Here's another fun fact that's its your republicans who are setting records in fillibusters and other obstructionism at record rates so be proud for now nitwit because after midterms most of your sanctumonious moron republicans will be history, gerrymandering ,voter supression or not!!
These cuts should cut out any foreign aid,we don't need to be borrowing money for anybody except our country.
I'm sure that you'll cut in the proper places and amounts when you'll become the President...
America is the root of all terror. America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
In 1953 America overthrow Iran's democratic government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a brutal dictator Shah. America helped Shah of Iran to establish secret police and killed thousands of Iranian people.
During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran's civilian air plane, killing 290 people.
In 2003,America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and 4,000,000+ Iraqi people were displaced.
Now America is a failed state with huge debt. Its debt will be 22 trillion by 2015.
Thanks, Mohammed, but I think you made up some numbers and failed to mention that most civilian deaths were from indiscriminate IEDs set off by Al-Queda and warring reigious factions in Iraq, not those killed accidentally by NATO forces killing terrorists who cowardly chose to hide among them.
stop making stupid posts John
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it were the Iranians who overthrew the previous government of Iran and re-installed the monarchy in 1953. America at most helped the rebels. I do not recall that during Iran-Iran war America supported Iraq but even if it did I do not see any reasons it should have supported the Ayatollas instead. Yes, anmissile launched from USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner. It was a tragic mistake. Americans (just like Israelis) are HUMANS and humans sometimes make mistakes.
@Thinker,it was also Reagans regime that sold weapons like nerve gas to Hussein and other dictators and was caught in that contra affair but played dumb saying his alzheimers was kicking in and he didn't remember!!Remember also the over 300 people in embassies,barracks who died after terrorists attacks and nothing down against George Schultz as secretary of state then was there,more crap that's called double standards ,can't say I'm wrong on that because facts don't lie, just ignorent republicans who don't research that's all!!
What?? The Democrats are interested in security at U.S. missions overseas? When did that happen?
It happened just before the GOP voted to cut funds for that purpose.
"$500 million would be cut from security assistance accounts that are used for conflict prevention programs around the world." what kind of nonsense is "conflict prevention programs"? STOP GIVING MONEY TO MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
Same old song and dance. You can't cut here because ...
Just improve security and improve our embassies. Quit trying to bribe a world that doesn't like us anyway. Take that money for foreign aid and feed some of OUR children, help OUR people. If any money is left return it to the taxpayers.

Anatasiadate.com Review by Paul
Hello Krystyna,
Please let me introduce myself. My name is Paul and I am from Mexico City.
I have had some scam experiences from Ukraine (Lugansk and Odessa). I would like to ask you if there is a possibility that real Ukrainian girls are really serious to marry a Western man. Where and how we can meet them?
What I can say about Anatasiadate.com services:
- All Ukrainian girls registered on Anatasiadate.com I met were fake, not real.
- All the girls are too young and they are not serious about to get married.
- Girls pretend not to speak English in order to get an interpreter and get money.
- That is the business; they receive the 50% of the fee of what the interpreters receive for their jobs.
- The others business are, high rates of taxi drivers (must of the girls have their own taxi driver), expensive restaurants, and ask for gifts.
- Anastasiadate.com is not a company; it is a group of local agencies that get the girls. The business on line are the letters, chats and video chats. We need to pay for all of that.
- Most of the letters are not written by the girls, there are many girls that work for these agencies as translators. I saw them when I got into one of these agencies in Odessa.
Thanks Krystyna and I really appreciate your help.
Have a great day.
Krystyna comments:
Hello Paul,
Thank you for sharing your Ukrainian dating experience! And I am really sorry about your negative experience.
Unfortunately, I have heard many negative things about the services of Anastasia Date.
You can read the reviews here:
Russian dating expert Elena Petrova writes that
Online Dating Scams Affect 99 Percent Of Male Users Of Internet Personals, Millions Of Dollars Are Lost To Fake 'Russian Women'
According to Elena, men using online dating sites regularly receive emails from 'Russian women' offering friendship, love and marriage. Most users simply disregard such emails but some people are curious and can be sucked in.
Elena warns, "99% of those emails are hoaxes designed by professional Internet criminals. All is fake — letters, photos, and feelings. The texts of the letters are prewritten and often sent and received by a database-driven computer script."
"The only real thing in the whole story is the money that a man sends to someone in Russia. The people receiving the money often don't know they are part of a fraud scheme; they simply get a small fee for each transfer they receive. Once someone reports the fraud and the name is black listed by wire transfer companies, the criminals find someone else to receive the money for them."
Many scams run under dozens of identities and feature different sets of photos, which are often downloaded from the Internet. "Even my own photos were stolen from my site and used in a scam", says Elena. "Most men cannot tell real Russian women from fake Russian brides. The wise thing to do is to never send money to anyone you haven't met in person."
You lost money and time with this scam site. My advice is to be careful in the International online dating industry. The first sign of scam is asking for money. However, in your case scam is the dating agency. That means they make fake profiles on their site and develop a nice, promising communication with a male customer so that he buys more and more credits.
My next advice is be optimistic. I know it is not easy. Optimism is also important for success, isn't it? I have experienced that most Western men are scared about the fact of getting been scammed. This fear does not give them the opportunity to be happy about their communication with the Ukrainian woman who can be their match for life.
Online dating is like offline: sometimes you have luck, sometimes you do not have luck… sometimes you meet a woman for life after just two days, sometimes you have to look for your match a few years. I have heard about negative and positive experiences. And I made bad and good online dating experience, as well.
I would recommend you to use a dating agency that has more positive reviews on the Internet like ElenasModels or A Foreign Affair. If you like more personal approach, try matchmaking agencies like Mordinson.
I am contact with this agency (especially with Michael) and know that they do an interview with each woman who wants to use their services. Therefore, you have really a very little chance to be scammed by fake women with serious intentions.

Breaking of the Dawn (Myrtle Beach, SC.) oil on canvas, 36" x 36." $2,800 (does not include shipping contact me at email@example.com.)
This scene I shot while in Myrtle Beach, SC, had a
Bellows-esque perspective and a Lorraine-esque colored horizon I
couldn't resist. I also, was intrigued
by the dark tones and values that morning, reminiscent of an early
Monet moonlit piece, "The Beach at St. Adreese." I simply wanted to capture the fleeting tranquil early morning moment,
with a sketchy soft brush approach.

Tests and Reviews
The 2006 Dodge Hornet concept car was a front-wheel-drive subcompact with a turbocharged 1.6 liter engine, functional hood scoop, and manual transmission; company officials said it was to be a Japanese-made Nissan Cube variant "based on a unique Chrysler concept and design."
The concept had frameless windows; seats were thinner to provide more interior space and make folding easier. The goal was to give the Nissan an American appearance for sale mainly in Europe and Asia. Mark Moushegian strove for "a rallye-inspired look-robust, capable, and most definitely not 'cutesy.' We wanted a distinct 'edge' to the design. We especially wanted to push the envelope of interior volume."
The exposed intercooler was flanked by brake air ducts and fog lamps, while the hood's raised plateau on was there to feed a recessed scoop connected to the engine air box. 19-inch aluminum wheels showed off gold-colored brake calipers. Framed doors opened to reveal the absence of a B-pillar. Inspired by sunglasses, the glass, including the sunroof, was rendered in a deep blue tint; in production, the car would be sold in a small number of colors, with contrasting glass colors.
Exterior lamps and the exhaust shared circular elements, with "triple orange slice" turn signals. John Sodano, principal interior designer, said, "I studied images of space capsule interiors, since they are designed for high efficiency in a limited space."
Space-saving foam seats were quite slim, with exposed aluminum framing. Seat bolsters were covered in a smooth, black urethane-coated fabric; inserts had a fine-woven textured cloth. The rear seats flipped forward for a flat load floor, or rearward to stow in back, flush with the liftgate sill, for the highest possible vertical storage. Grab bars on each rear quarter also served as clothes hangar racks.
The driver's door trim panel contained a first aid kit, open storage bin, and a case with carrying handle. The passenger door had both open and closed bins and a longer open bin with bungee cords to retain stowed items. All bins were removable. The driver's side door had a beverage cooler; the passenger side, a fold-out table.
Designed to accommodate both left- and right-hand drive, the modular instrument panel had twin cloth wrapover pads divided by a center stack and navigation screen. The hooded instrument binnacle moved with the steering column.
The Dodge Hornet was powered by a Chrysler-engineered 1.6 liter supercharged engine with 170 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque (both at 4,000 rpm) driving the wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The "Tritec" engine, also used in the Mini, was jointly developed by Chrysler and Rover. The Hornet was heavy, at 3,100 pounds, but the company claimed it was a full second faster, 0-60, than the Neon had been.
Following the original Nissan Cube-based concept, rumors started floating that the real Hornet would share the basic chassis of the new Mercedes A-Class. Automotive News then claimed that the Hornet would be engineered in China by Chery, an assertion bolstered by independent sources. When Fiat joined with Chrysler, connections with Chery and Nissan were dropped; and the Hornet gave way to the Dart..

Concept cars are often made so a car's feel can be evaluated, problems can be foreseen, and reactions of the public can be judged. Some concepts test specific ideas, colors, controls, or materials — either subtle or out of proportion, to hide what's being tested. Some are created to help designers think "out of the box." The Challenger, Prowler, PT Cruiser, and Viper were all tested as production-based concepts dressed up to hide the production intent.

Yesterday I had the wonderful honor of joining a select group of ambassadors and corporate executives to get a sneak preview of the EPA's National Sustainability Design Expo and P3 Competition. The event is designed as an annual event for (directly from the brochure) "teams of graduate and undergraduate students to design solutions for environmental and sustainability challenges worldwide. P3 stands for People, Prosperity, and the Planet, fyi. 55 of the best and brightest teams of students are all there showcasing their work to create a greener future.
There is some pretty amazing stuff to be seen there, and if you are in the DC area this weekend I encourage you to attend (yes, it's rainy, but it's in a tent!) You might take a look at the Rowan University team's steel-based model of a machine that turns peanut shells into briquettes for burning— an idea that might be especially helpful for a country like Gambia that is lacking in natural forestry but can claim 8.9% of its GDP from its peanut production. Reusing waste to solve heating problems, save individuals time searching for scarce firewood, and improving quality of life? Yes sir.
After taking a look at peanuts, swing over to Clemson's table. They've got work going on a machine that utilizes the natural organic reactions of a swamp and converts it into electricity. They've been focusing on cypress and tupelo based matter (which comprises 80% of the ecosystems across the country,) with the intention of eventually creating a conduit by which field monitoring equipment in these ecosystems can be powered by the bayou itself. Yes, that is also awesome.
And those are just two of the stories. There's also Michigan State's team, taking the traditional "green roof" concept that has been thus far limited to flat surfaces and creating innovative design to allow plant growth on sloped roofs, taking into account soil media depth, irrigation systems, and the strength of these roofs. The University of Georgia showcases a milk cooling system to prevent the spoilage of dairy overnight for Ugandan farmers— a system that utilizes Zeolite-H20 absorption and if successful, could significantly increase the life cycle of a given unit of agricultural good. The University of Kansas has a hybrid energy collection system that can collect energy from wind, solar, or the grid depending on user preference. Imagine something like that that was also connected to software that could predict how windy or sunny the day would be as well as market fluctuations in energy costs?
I can't do justice to all of the projects there, but it is truly a sight to behold. As a business-minded observer, I look at all of these young inventors and the amazing things they are doing to change this planet and my first thought is, "what are the obstacles to taking something like this to market? Money? Marketing? Pitch? Scale? Any and all of the above?"
I sincerely hope that regardless of who wins the competition this weekend (the grand prize is $75,000 of grant money to continue developing the project) that every single team, regardless of the outcome, recognizes their own innovative brilliance and continues developing these amazing solutions to our world's toughest challenges.
The Expo is Saturday, April 16th and Sunday, April 17th from 10-3 AM on the mall.
Guillermo Olivos is the Assistant Director of the Center for Social Value Creation at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

There Are None So Blind
This is a repost of one of my favorite columns. I recorded it for Spokane Public Radio several years ago and it is available on Public Radio Exchange. This year, the audio essay was broadcast by Delta College Public Radio in Michigan.
November 22, 2004
Giving her thanks for a gift of insight
Cheryl–Anne Millsap
When I was a girl, an old blind woman lived in the faded white house with peeling clapboards and a shaded, vine–covered porch, next door to me. Mrs. Miller was small and wiry, and very old. Her thin white hair was always pulled into a tight bun at the nape of her neck.
She lived with a little Chihuahua named Rocky – a strange and exotic pet at the time. The dog was ancient, barely able to walk on his thin matchstick legs and he, too, was almost blind.
Sometimes, Mrs. Miller's son, John, lived with them. John was a loud and angry man who worked nights – when he worked – and either slept or watched game shows on the television all day. John drank. And when he was drunk, he wasn't very nice to his mother.
I was afraid of that house and everyone in it. To me, the old woman was a person of shadows, living a dark and shuttered life. John, whose angry voice I could hear through the closed windows, frightened me and I was wary of the odd little dog.
Occasionally, when John wasn't home, my grandmother would send me over with a baked sweet potato, a couple of ripe tomatoes or a slice of homemade pie. I would knock on the back door and listen to her shuffling through rooms, calling out to me in a thin, rough, voice. Rocky would totter across the linoleum floor, coughing out a dry, raspy, bark.
As quickly as I could, I would leave the food on the kitchen table – the sticky oilcloth–covered surface crowded with salt and peppershakers, paper napkins and bottles of hot sauce and pickled peppers – and run back out into the sunlight.
One Thanksgiving Day, my grandmother asked me to take a meal next door. I drooped, but I knew better than to argue.
I carried the plate, piled with turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and ruby–red spiced apple rings across my back yard. I walked up the bank and past the little grove of plum trees to her back door, and knocked.
"Mrs. Miller," I called. "I brought you some Thanksgiving dinner."
I listened to her slow, painful, progress through the cluttered rooms. I imagined her reaching out for familiar doorways, feeling the edges of the furniture with bent and arthritic fingers. When she finally opened the back door, I thrust the plate at her, anxious to deliver it and leave.
But she didn't take it. Instead, she put her face down to the steaming plate of food and inhaled deeply, breathing in the warm fragrance.
"Oh, Lord," the old woman said. "That's good."
And she didn't move. She just stood there, lost in thought. Finally, as soon as she stepped aside, I set the plate down on the table and ran home.
Just today, when I thought about what we will have for our Thanksgiving dinner, and my mind remembered, and replayed for me the taste of roast turkey and cornbread dressing, I recalled that day so long ago.
Thinking about it now, I understand that at that moment the old woman and I traded places.
I was blind to everything but my desire to run away, but for an instant Mrs. Miller could see. Through clouded eyes, she looked back at other Thanksgivings, long gone. Happy days before she was old and blind, and trapped in a dark house with an angry son.
In the years since that November day, when the trace of a scent or the sound of a voice leaves me gazing at ghosts, I've learned that time gives back as much as it takes away.
And for that, like the old woman, I'm grateful.

A shroud of mystery surrounds the brothels housing legal prostitutes in Nevada, the only state where clients can legally trade money for sexual favors. The laws concerning prostitution in Nevada are very specific and only legalize the practice in rural counties with fewer than 400,000 people.
In July 2013, 18 brothels existed in eight counties, ranging from upscale establishments to more modest offerings. Prostitutes who work in the licensed brothels are not long-term employees. They travel from all across the United States to spend two or three weeks building up a little cash and often return home. Experienced prostitutes, porn stars, escorts and novice hopefuls apply for available positions at the brothels, hoping for a chance to make some quick earnings.
If you are anticipating a stint providing your escort services at a brothel, you should plan ahead and familiarize yourself with realistic expectations. Here are some tips for preparation to work at a Nevada brothel:
- Apply ahead of time. Even though the thought of showing up on a brothel's doorstep and being met with open arms is a pleasant one, it's unrealistic. Brothels take hundreds (perhaps, thousands) of applications per year from hopeful women who want their shot at making it big. Of those many applications, a few are selected for brothel openings. Seek out the brothels you are considering online and submit your application electronically, along with pictures. Consider applying to more than one brothel, in case your favorite one turns you down or has no openings available when your schedule allows you to travel. Also, check out any feedback you can find online about the brothels when you are selecting the ones to apply to. If the reviews or comments are consistently bad, you might be better off avoiding it.
- Plan how long you will stay. Once you've been invited to come work at a brothel, you need to determine the length of your work period. Some brothels maintain minimum requirements. For instance, Sheri's Ranch requires its escorts to stay at least one week. They also mandate that a three-week stay is the maximum for any prostitute. (They want to make sure you take a break to avoid burning out.) Most brothels maintain similar standards. Some have a two-week minimum, while others have a four-week maximum. Regardless, it's best to determine ahead of time how long you think you want to stay, abiding by the brothel's guidelines. You might get helpful information by asking what most of the experienced prostitutes do.
- Expect that you will be working long shifts. Some brothels are open 24 hours per day and require their house prostitutes to be available for customers at any time of the day or night. Being on call non-stop can make you tired quickly, but it also means you won't miss out on any good clients. Other brothels maintain 12- to 14-hour shifts for their prostitutes. While either of those shifts seem terribly lengthy, it's important to know that you won't be busy the entire time. You may have two or three clients each shift, but you won't be with clients during your entire working period.
- Consent to mandatory STD testing prior to going to work. The laws in Nevada require that all prostitutes working in brothels must have a clear bill of health from an approved physician. You will be tested for Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV. You are required to pay for the test, as a part of your licensing fees. Do not take the testing personally; it's mandated by the law.
- Resign to yourself that your work as a prostitute goes on public record. To work in a brothel, you must obtain a license or permit (depending on what the county calls it). You are required to pay for the permit, ranging from a few dollars to several hundred. The sheriff's department will photograph and fingerprint you, double-checking your background for any outstanding warrants or charges. Your file will be marked as a prostitute during your stay in Nevada. While these records are usually considered difficult to retrieve in the future, there is always an opportunity that your time at a brothel will come back up if your records are searched.
- Know that you will remain on the property for the majority of your stay. Brothels prohibit their prostitutes from leaving the grounds while they are working for them. Owners worry that prostitutes might obtain side business while they are there or engage in risky behaviors that pose threats for STDs. If you leave the property during your stay, you will be required to take another STD test before you're cleared to work, again. Some brothels arrange for prostitutes to go into town, with the company of a chaperone, to get their hair or nails done. STD testing is not required upon return to work, as long as you were accompanied by a brothel employee the entire time. But, this is typically the exception to the rule. If you work for a brothel that requires you to stay, don't worry about missing out on the local scenery. Brothels are usually located several miles away from any major destinations or towns.
- Expect modest surroundings. A few brothels in Nevada are quite luxurious and boast about their accommodations. Sheri's Ranch is the only brothel labeling itself as a resort complete with spa. Others, such as the Bunny Ranch, have beautiful grounds and an upscale (although a bit garish) interior. Velvet couches and loud prints are common finds in brothels. (And, many of them have lots of wood paneling.) All brothels are required, by law, to have a fence around them. Although millions of dollars pass through the brothels each year, don't expect them to resemble the Ritz or the Waldorf. In fact, some look like rundown trailers with hand-lettered signs identifying them as business establishments.
- Rent is charged for your stay. You will have your own room, where you will sleep and conduct business with clients. Rooms are usually small, with only space enough for a bed, dresser and a desk. A daily fee of $50 (more or less depending on the brothel) will be charged to you for your room. Most brothels provide meals (cooked to order) with your room rent. And housekeeping is part of the deal, which is a nice perk. You don't have to personally change the sheets after encounters with clients.
- High commissions are part of life at brothels. If you have hopes of keeping the majority of the money you make as a brothel prostitute, you are mistaken. Most brothels take 50 percent of all transactions that occur in their properties. If you charge a client $300 for time with you, the brothel gets $150 of it. Additionally, taxi or hired limo drivers who transport clients to your brothel for an appointment with you get a cut of your fees, too. Sometimes, their cut is as much as 30%, leaving you with only 20% of the rate you charged. The commissions can seriously cut into your earnings quickly.
- Setting your own prices is a benefit of working at a brothel. Unlike working at an escort agency that determines how much you should charge, you get to set your own rates, as long as they are above the house minimum. However, even though you have the option to charge any rate you please, your fees must be competitive with the other prostitutes you are working with on your shift. If you charge $300 for 15 minutes with a customer, a prostitute who only charges $200 might attract more business than you do. Make your prices marketable, ensuring you are still being paid what you are worth.
- Expect short encounters with clients. Unlike working in the escort industry where you may have a two-hour minimum booking requirement for clients, "parties" with customers may only last 15 minutes. Many men who come to the brothels opt for short parties. Men come to the brothels for one thing, mainly. They want sex, and they are not interested in all of the intimacies associated with your usual escort encounters. They meet you quickly, get what they want and leave, all within the span of less than an hour, from the time they come through the doorway. The 15- and 30-minute bookings are by far the most popular in the brothels, although longer sessions are sometimes scheduled.
- Pay attention to the rules to avoid fines. Brothels have many rules and guidelines that prostitutes must adhere to. For instance, in one brothel, prostitutes are prohibited from answering the door. If they do, it's a $100 fine. Additional fines may be assessed for being late, falling asleep during a shift, refusing an approved customer, not arriving to a meet-and-greet appropriately dressed or speaking to a customer during a line-up. Many prostitutes say that fines can eat up your earnings very quickly unless you take extreme efforts to follow the rules to a "T."
- Loneliness is common at a brothel. Even though many people assume living at a brothel would be much like staying at a sexually-charged sorority house, the atmosphere is not like that at all. The other prostitutes are not there to make friends. They don't want to hear your troubles or listen to stories about your children, sick mother or cheating boyfriend. They are there to make money and are generally not interested in winning a popularity contest with the other girls. Additionally, you are direct competition for them, and many women won't like you simply because you might take away a customer. If you start doing well and get lots of parties, the other women may give you the cold shoulder out of jealousy. Don't take their indifference or hostility personally. Arrive not expecting anything from the other prostitutes, and you won't be disappointed. Prostitutes come and go regularly at the brothels; friendships have no place there.
- Bring only necessities. Because space is limited in your room, leave bulky items at home. The madam at your brothel should provide you with a general list of things that prostitutes like to have with them to help make their stays seem more like home and to help pass the time. Books, laptop computers and cell phones may help prostitutes avoid boredom. Generally, brothels provide your bedding, but if you want a special throw or comforter, you should bring it. Sexy clothing is required, but you won't need an abundance of street clothes for your trip. When not working, most girls lounge in comfortable attire. Most rooms feature a television for your entertainment, too.
- Supplies for customers are your responsibility. As an independent contractor, you are obligated to provide condoms, lotion, lube and any other items (such as tissues or wet wipes) for your encounters. You should bring them with you, because purchasing them at or near the ranch can be quite expensive, as prices are significantly higher onsite.

The temperomandibular joint (TMJ) is the jaw joint where the mandible connects to the head on the temporal bone. All movements for talking, swallowing, and chewing go through this joint. This is not a place where you want to have problems because it is central to a healthy mouth. Here are a list of some of the signs of TMJ dysfunction.
All of these symptoms are important because they are telling us something.
There are six ligaments on each side that hold the jaw in position. It is not a ball and socket joint. If something is causing one or more of the ligaments to tighten or spasm there are symptoms you can see or feel.
Sometimes the teeth can cause a shift in the ligaments because of the bite being off. The loss of a tooth can cause this. A recently placed filling or crown that is not in proper alignment can cause it. A wisdom tooth out of alignment can be the reason. A bit of detective work may be needed but the cause is usually right there.
Trauma can cause TMJ such as a blow to the jaw or side of the face. Car accidents, bumping into a door, or even sleeping on an uneven surface for a long time can cause it.
Grinding our teeth or clenching our teeth can cause a problem. If you're sleeping, it's impossible to tell if you are grinding but a dental exam can show signs of it very easily.
Treatment for acute pain or problems is quite simple. A person has to stop using the joint until it heals. But this is impossible. A person talks, chews, swallows , clenches and grinds all day and all night long. How can the jaw not be used.
When someone stays off their foot they use crutches. When an arm isn't used they wear a sling. When the jaw isn't to be used we need to be creative. We use a mouthpiece that fits over the teeth and keeps them from smashing together. There are many designs for mouth guards depending on the diagnosis. They keep the teeth from coming together and allow the ligaments to slowly heal.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) can also be used to relax the muscles and ligaments of the face and speed the healing process. This unit that stimulates healing is the size of a small iPod and has pads that attach to the muscles on the side of the face and work for about twenty minutes per side. It can be used at home or in our office.
These are very specific problems that need personalized diagnosis and attention. If you think you are suffering from this condition, a special examination will be done to evaluate the extent of the problem present. Dr Shannon has been working with TMJ conditions for over twenty years. He has the right solution for your condition.

Hello. Could someone suggest (or even describe) a qigong practice for my scoliosis? My condition is like this: I have had scoliosis since about thirteen, when I was taken to a chiropractor when I did not need to go. I am getting over it now. There is a large, very tight know running between the base of the right hand to the inside of the right leg. People comment on my lack of social skills and absent-mindedness. Also I cannot make eye contact--it feels like the problem is pain behind the eyes.
Also, I understand about visualization, but what is the feeling one gets from successfully channeling chi when breathing? Does it feel like menthol rub applied on the inside, to the same nerves that one feels during acupuncture? I am always interested in new ways to think about qi/ch'i. I think of it as sort of the tendency of life to defy entropy, the fact that the chemical reactions leading to life tend to happen.

USB 2.0 Stack w/ U98SESP3 Problems
StrikerMan780 posted a topic in Windows 9x Member ProjectsThis problem has been making me rip my hair out in large clumps... and I've reformatted this ****ing thing about 17 times in one night solid. Whenever I install Windows 98SE, install DirectX 9.0c, and then the Unofficial Service Pack 3 and reboot, things seem to be fine, however some USB Devices won't work until I install the USB 2.0 stack (from USBStack.exe that U98SESP3 puts into /windows/system/). But now, the problem is, once I install that, and reboot, my Windows 98 hangs on boot if there are any USB Devices plugged in. If I leave them unplugged, it boots fine. Once I plug everything back in, I get an NTKERN.VXD error, and the devices still do not work. I fixed the NTKERN.VXD error by copying NTKERN.VXD from /VMM32 into /System, however, the hang on boot is still there. I have no way of uninstalling the USB2.0 Stack from Add/Remove Programs, and I have no clue how to solve my current problems. I think I might have f***ed up too by not deleting the right files/infs before installing USBStack.exe. I want to get rid of the thing entirely and fix this problem, and perhaps install NUSB instead, but I don't know where I should begin. *sigh* I'm really getting p***ed off and stressed with this thing. I've already spent an entire week trying to figure this out... time wasted when I could be actually using a functional system and doing something productive. Is there anyone out there who can help me sort this problem out?

I recently received this interesting advice from a just for fun tarot card q&a.
Embrace change because it is the only game in town. Without the letting go, as the Death card represents, you would never get a chance to start over in life. This is a card of transition, not end, and its telling you to get past the fear of the end of the old so you can meet the new beginning with a clear mind. Change is the very thing that will keep you alive.
It really started me thinking about some of the characters in my Lost & Found Series. Specifically Hope and Alex whom you will meet in different books of the series, and both are pretty good and the "moving on" part of life. The letting go if you will from this reading. Very many of the other characters and most people find endings hard to deal with. "It's the having of a thing and then the loss of it." to crudely quote Charles Frazier's blind man in Cold Mountain.
Another scene relevant to loss from that book which sticks with most readers is the conversation between Inman and Ada upon his return from war:
"She fit her head under his chin, and he could feel her weight settle into him. He held her tight and words spilled out of him without prior composition. And this time he made no effort to clamp them off. He told her about the first time he had looked on the back of her neck as she sat in the church pew. Of the feeling that had never let go of him since. He talked to her of the great waste of years between then and now. A long time gone. And it was pointless, he said, to think how those years could have been put to better use, for he could hardly have put them to worse. There was no recovering them now. You could grieve endlessly for the loss of time and the damage done therein. For the dead, and for your own lost self. But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell, Inman said, for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you are. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're left with only your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if you go on, it's knowing you carry your scars with you. Nevertheless, over all those wasted years, he had held in his mind the wish to kiss her on the back of her neck, and now he had done it. There was a redemption of some kind, he believed, in such complete fulfillment of a desire so long deferred."
― Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain
These two quotes are of particular importance in thinking about my own characters and my own life and sense of loss over people places, and times. It also makes me think of how to frame these two characters differently so that the reader can also easily see that Hope and Alex are wired much differently than most of us in how they process loss. Even if we later learn the sense of loss was still with them, even perhaps felt quite deeply, it was only their approach, their attitude that was different.
"You could grieve endlessly for the loss of time and the damage done therein." – True and then what you have lost is the time that exists in the now of your life. It is loss for the sake of loss, a doubling and magnifying of it that creeps in until one day you look back on how much time you gave over to your feelings of loss.
"…for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you are. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're left with only your scars to mark the void. – True again, but the scars of grief will help mold you into the new person who values and cherishes things, time spent, and people much more deeply than they did before.
Here is a little sneak peek into how Hope deals with the loss of her father and the loss of her promised promotion.
"You mean you are still going to North Carolina? Hope are you crazy. Thomas promised you that promotion for two years and you broke your back, too many dates, and risked your health to do everything he asked to land this merger. Now that it's just about here, he drops the bomb that the promotion is going to Jake!" Sera shook her head and I just kept packing up files from my office. "I wouldn't do it. Of all the rotten things to do and bad times to do it. For goodness sake you just got back to work from burying your dad!"
That last comment Sera didn't need to utter and remind me of. I knew how much I'd given up to get Southern Foods to even talk with us about the merger. My sense of loss was more selfish than I wanted to admit but giving in and quitting now would give in to mountains of regret my heart couldn't bear. The loss of my dad was hard, nearly impossible to move on from but I knew I had to. He was the only family I had left. If I let him down one more time I couldn't live with myself.
"Sera, If I don't continue this to the end, I have lost everything I missed time with my Dad for. Don't you see that in the end, that's far worse than just accepting that Jake got the promotion and that I have to go do the fieldwork. Besides, Jake's deal is much sweeter than mine. I guess Thomas made his mind up based on that, not what he thought I'd given up to get this tiny little company to turn over their pickles to us."
I wanted to say more but doing so would let me fall into Sera's thinking. I had been promised the promotion but I had also made promises that I hadn't kept. The promises to my father that went long overdue, and some ultimately not kept. Letting this get the best of me would not be added to my list of regrets.
"Are you going to help me, or stand there feeling sorry for me Sera? I need you to get a grip. You will still be my assistant, and in the long run, you may even be promoted because of your work on this Southern Foods deal. So shape up sister cause the work is just about to go full throttle. Now take that box out to my car with a smile."
So Hope's attitude is much that of the elders Inman referred to in his talk with Ada.
"But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell…"
"All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if you go on, it's knowing you carry your scars with you."
Hope made a decision not to add wasted time of worry and loss to impede her from taking the next step as upset as she was and will later be revealed in a much more intimate scene. For her this was the only path she saw to walk on in her healing.

In the next 5 minutes. I'm gonna reveal the 3 Secrets to Killer Guitar Control.
First let me ask you…
- Have you hit a plateau? Are you playing the same stuff over and over and not even sure what you should be practicing next?
- Are you ever bored or just not enjoying the guitar like you used to or you're struggling to find time to play?
- Would you love to improvise exactly what you hear in your head and finally get those sounds you've been looking for?
- Do you want to play smokin solos up and down the neck instead of being stuck in the same old boxes and patterns?
- Wanna know exactly how and where to use scales so it sounds like real music how to create solos for any song, and what riffs go with what chords?
- Does it feel like you've been stuck forever at a certain speed? Want to master picking and smash all your speed limitations?
- Do you want to play smooth tasteful licks with expressive phrasing, great vibrato, and finally put it all together on the guitar?
Well, if you said yes to ANY of these questions then you're in for a real treat because I'm about to show you how you can achieve all of your guitar goals and more.
Hi, my name is Claude Johnson. I've been playing and teaching guitar for over 25 years and I've helped over 4.3 million guitarists with my Guitar Control Newsletter and I've sold over half a million instructional DVDs in over dozen countries.
If you wanna improve your playing quickly, without years of practice or you want to play smokin solos with intense passion and total control then this is EXACTLY what you've been looking for.
If you're like I was when I first started working on my guitar playing, you're probably not as great as you'd like to be, yet. But don't worry…
In The Beginning, I Sucked Too. But Then…
I tried all kinds of things like: I took lessons, bought guitar magazines, I hung out with other guitarists, I jammed with the radio, but it just seemed like the improvements were slower than a drunk turtle.
Deep inside, I was searching for the mystery answer that explained why legends like Santana and Clapton could make 2 or 3 notes sound more amazing than 100 mindless notes put together.
But, no one had the answer…
Then, One Day I Had Big "Ah-Ha" And It All Changed.
I realized that if you play from the heart, the technique is secondary. I'm not saying technique is not important, however I realized that legends like Clapton and Santana were using this concept.
The second part of the realization was: you don't need to play fast solos all the time. It's all about playing THE RIGHT NOTES. And that started me on the path to discovering what I call: Guitar Control Secrets.
After I tapped into this new guitar knowledge, I started rocking the house. I was one of the most intense guitar players in Philly – I was improvising all of my solos LIVE in the hottest bars and clubs like the Hard Rock Café.
And people were loving it…
I was so inspired by my new skills that I become obsessed with developing even more Guitar Control. I kept adding new elements to the system and kept tweaking it and refining it.
Then, in 2005 I released "Guitar Control Secrets" and it has changed the lives of over 20,000 guitar players. I get emails every single day from guys that thank me for showing them "the missing link".
Here's an example…
I love your guitar control program!
"Your playing is very good, and very natural. It is inspirational watching you play and then break down what you are thinking and how you're approaching it. As I said I have been playing for 16 years but have been stuck in a rut… playing the same scales, the same licks… it all just sounds the same . I have needed to get to the next level and get off this plateau and I think your program gives me an opportunity to do just that. Thanks very much Claude!"
~ Scott Seward, Ann Harbor Vermont
Here Are The 3 Critical Components Of
Killer Guitar Control Secrets.
There are 3 critical components, that when you put together, will awaken the killer lead guitar player that's already within you.
These three components are:
- Essential Technique,
- Fretboard Knowledge, and the
- "Brain-to-Hand" Connection.
First, you need at least a basic level of technique. This is the most fundamental level of guitar training. And I will show you how you can boost your technique quickly
The second component is fretboard knowledge. I'll show you how the entire neck connects together. After watching this DVD, you'll know how all the notes tie together into melodic and harmonic arrangements and patterns, and how to command the fretboard for song writing or improvising.
There is a wealth of fretboard knowledge lying underneath every simple scale. The deeper your knowledge is, the greater your ability will be to create interesting melodies and solos. Wait until you learn some of my simple shortcuts to mastering the fretboard. They'll take years of your learning curve.
But then I dropped an atomic bomb when I reveal the third component…
Is This The Greatest Guitar Secret Ever?
Yes, I am talking about the invisible X-factor that every guitar hero possesses.
The brain-to-hand connection.
This factor lets you totally maximize your expressive capability and control using the chops you already have.
Some pros call it playing from the heart. As far as I know, no one has ever decoded this before.
"dude you rock. great instruction… i have been playing 30 yrs and you showed me some stuff i never figured out… i got so much out of the first DVD i'm saving the second one for later… understand i am a working musician… but your simplistic method has opened gigantic doors for me…"
~ Ken Hill, Moorpark, California
Don't worry if you're playing as great as you'd like it to be yet. Listen…
Virtually every guitar teacher out there teaches you techniques and that's cool. However, NO ONE is teaching you the guitar mindset, approach and paradigm of the legends and that's the missing link that you need.
And as soon as you learn it…
Your Guitar Playing Is Going To Change… Fast.
I know that's a big claim, but I get emails everyday from guitar players telling me that my video made a huge difference with their guitar playing.
Here's another example:
It's opening up a new world I never knew
"Claude, Got the DVDs already! Very fast service! Have watched them through twice already. I think they're great. I like the way you are showing things just lke you are in the room w/ me. Some things are clear already that I never knew before. I think I can begin to play from the heart maybe someday soon. You seem like a very likeable real person, and I like you're "style" of playing and you seem to naturally play from the heart. I'm inspired to be much better than I am already from your dvds. Thanks so mucho. By the way, I just turned 60 and it is opening up a new world I never knew. Thanks again."
~ Michael Carman, McLouth, Kansas
Learning This Secret Sent Shockwaves Through My Body.
It Was Like A Stairway From Heaven Fell From The Sky.
I break down exactly how you can master the critical guitar ability. If you are serious about becoming a guitar legend, you HAVE TO KNOW THIS. The funny thing is, almost every guitar player overlooks this critical concept.
I'm super excited to share my most precious Guitar Control Secrets with you. I know it' what you've been secretly looking for and it's gonna completely change your guitar playing almost overnight.
This 3 DVD set called "Killer Guitar Control Secrets" reveals the fastest shortcuts possible to becoming a Guitar Legend.
Is Guitar Playing Your Passion?
I've played tons of live gigs in my day, and let me tell you…
I'm in heaven when I'm on stage. Lost in the music. Especially when I'm improvising a wicked solo. To be honest, that's my heroin. Nothing jacks me up more than being able to play just what I feel in the moment.
Whether you're a raw beginner or a seasoned player, "Killer Guitar Control Secrets" will completely wrap how you approach playing. And I promise, it will open wild doorways on the fretboard you never knew existed.
Get ready for a fun and exciting experience.

Learn the three cornerstones of improvisation.
Yes, Learning These 3 Secrets Can Transform You
Into A Guitar Legend.
Nothing is more impressive than a guitar player who can tap into his feel deep in the moment.
Perhaps for the first time ever, the mystery of improvisation has been solved. I've decoded it for everyone to learn. Many guitarists tell me that this video has given them a unique perspective that they've never seen before. You'll be blown away at how easy you can become an "Improv God".
Here's more juicy gems you'll discover.
- Learn step-by-step how to build killer technical skills with picking strategies that let you build up to warp speed with minimal practice time.
- Which skills you must focus on and which ones you should ignore. This can save you years of frustration.
- I'll cut through the confusion about the tons of choices we have on the fretboard. Learn exactly when and how to use both horizontal and vertical patterns. Don't be surprised when you're flying from one end of the neck to the other without breaking a sweat.
Increase Your Shredding Speed.
- Easily master both alternate picking and economy picking. It might sound complicated but it's not with my clear and easy instructions.
- How to easily build up your shredding speed. The exact process to go from slow to blistering speed in record time is revealed.
- Learn to create monster leads and climactic solos using the power of scale sequences. You'll love this powerful but simple trick.
It's How The Pros Make Their Leads Orgasmic…
There's lots more cool tricks you'll discover, like:
- Learn a clever string-skipping secret that gives your playing dynamic energy and movement (Watch it at 33:44).
- How to create new sound with the tapping technique, and I'm not talking about cheesy-sounding patterns. Let me show you how to add tapping to your licks and still sound natural, soulful, and in total control. (Pay attention at 34:28).
- Do you wanna know what made Jimi Hendrix one of the best guitarist of all time? It's phrasing. Possibly for the first time ever, the magic of phrasing is decoded. This is how Eric Clapton and B.B King take a handful of notes and make it sound out of this world. Witness exactly how to make this happen (at 37:29).
"Your phrasing is quite good and that is often an elusive skill to develop. Even the real virtuosos often have difficulty with this subtly. It was refreshing to hear most of your leads being bite sized, digestible music ideas for the ear, as opposed to the mindless flurries of notes you so often hear. Interesting as to the playing from the ear and not the fingers. You come off as a likeable man and that might be the most important thing of all. Very often one will watch a video – and I have them all from Russ Cooley to Brian May, and it will be very difficult to relate to the player. Your tone is good and unique, and your playing seems very competent. I think the material that you've provided is excellent stuff!"
~ Michael Melman, Guitar Teacher
Manalapan, New Jersey

Children With Emotional And Behavioural Difficulties
Strategies For Assessment And Intervention
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
Blending academic theory with policy guidelines and practical suggestions, this book provides a review of current approaches to assessment and Intervention For Children With Emotional And Behavioural Difficulties. It incorporates a discussion of government guidelines on policy and provision with schools and LEAs and reviews a range of successful innovations in intervention. Specific areas are covered, including Exclusion, Integration And Emotional Abuse.; Five Recurring Themes permeate the whole book, these being: the effects of government legislation on all aspects of EBD assessment and provision; the recognition that children with EBD come from economically and socially disadvantaged families and the implication that this has for assessment and provision; the problems of agreeing on an acceptable definition of EBD; the fact that children labelled as EBD do not have an equal opportunity to assessment and provision; and the belief that schools can make a substantial contribution to the prevention of EBD.

Who doesn't love the fresh just-left-the-hairdresser feeling? Everyone who colours or highlights their hair knows and loves the radiant, shiny, healthy feeling that your hair only has once you've been in the hairdressers' chair. But why shouldn't we be able to have this feeling at home, DIY? My fellow blondes out there, what if there was a way you could extend your fresh, creamy colour and even colour correct it and remove yellow tones yourself?
Introducing the latest range from Kérastase Paris, Chromatique, 'The era of personalisation'. The new revolutionary range let's us take colour retouching home, inspired by the universe of makeup where highly pigmented shades correct and balance uneven skin tones, as well as illuminate the features we love. If we can correct and enhance the skin tone at home, why not the colour of our hair? Kérastase asked this question, answered and delivered.
Using the colour wheel that you learnt at school, red is opposite to green, yellow is opposite to violet. In the same as colour correcting with makeup, Kérastase has now created the incredible addition of direct dyes to the Reflection collection.
As a blonde, battling yellow and brassy tones that appear a few weeks after a visit to the hairdresser has been a 10 year long battle for me. The new Cool Blond Colour Correcting ink-in-care, when added to the colour protective conditioning Masque now allows me to correct and enhance my colour, at home, between salon visits! With the addition of a Masque for fine hair and a Bain Chromatique Riche for highlighted and sensitised hair, my life has immediately been relieved of the panic of getting back to the hairdresser.
Several weeks on from my last visit, the results I have been trialing are undeniable. The softness is still there, the shine and radiance and to my absolute delight, no brassy tones. For brunettes combatting redness, there is a cool brown ink, as well as a beautiful copper to brighten up the red-head's out there.
As a lot of you already know, I am getting married in Bali in six weeks time. This means my last salon visit will be a few weeks before the wedding – so I am 100% taking this range with me!

#There is a sort of "statistical" distribution, I believe, about the principles people hold dear. The peak of that distribution and width of its shoulders are hard to pin down, which makes it difficult to obtain a "majority" on anything.
The Republican's actions reflect that uncertainty, in my opinion. The Democrats are so ideologically driven that they "behave" as if their "principles" are easy to act on during political decision times.
I know there was a "strategy" meeting (just days after Trump's win) among the people who really drive the Democrats, during which the strategy that we see them deploying today was set up. My take on the strategy was: Oppose Trump relentlessly, on every issue, at every level.
The Republicans seem incapable of achieving similar clarity, but they do seem to have a short-term goal: Unseat Trump in 2020 and work to undo whatever he had done in his first term. Hopefully, wind up with majorities in both houses and retain power themselves. That explains for me why with majorities in each chamber, Republicans behave as JERKS. The future of the country is at stake, literally, and we may not see another opportunity like this in many years. They seem to live in la-la-land...!!!
That sums things up for me. Quite depressing, based on my sense of the kind of future that the Democrats are aiming for. It would resemble the situation described in "1984"… including global government and the dismemberment of America as we know her. - SAFE member (DE)
#I'm anxious to hear Trump's speech tomorrow night . . . hope he sticks to his monitor. - Family connection
