Photo of the Week
March 22 - Equal Rights amendment sent to
state for ratification (1972). The Senate passed the 27th
Amendment, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex,
sending it to the states for ratification. Hawaii led the
way as the first state to ratify and by the end of the year
22 of the required states had ratified it. On Oct 6, 1982
the deadline for ratification was extended to June 30, 1982.
The amendment still lacked three of the required 38 states
for ratification. The amendment failed to achieve
ratification as the deadline came and passed and no
additional states ratified the measure. * This is the

India after independence from Great Britain. The Saka

International Day of the Seal to draw attention to the
cruelty of seal hunters and the virtual inevitability of
these creatures' extinction. (1982) Zoos and aquariums
around the world observe this day with special programs and
activities. * Laser Patented (1960) Laser (light

Salyut 7 space station in 1984, a Soviet cosmonaut who spent
326 days aboard Mir in 1987 and two Soviets who spent 366
days aboard Mir in 1988. The longest stay in space by any
US astronaut was Shannon Lucid's 188-day stay on Mir in
1996. This also set a record for women in space. *

The assessment of another's needs is an act of responsibility which is so complex that it can only be executed wisely when one operates with genuine love for the other. The Road Less Traveled The soul always reaches deeper than we expect, especially in marriage, touching areas of absolute importance to a meaningful and soulful life. We approach its soul when we understand that marriage is a mystery. Soul Mates I've noticed that women who use dildos a lot are always rougher with my penis than women who don't. - Richard, 26 Best of 1001 Sex Secrets Every Man & Woman Should Know Skin-to-Skin Contact. Some skin-to-skin snuggling has surprising benefits for a premature baby. According to researchers, babies who had skin-to-skin contact with their mother (for example, a baby dressed in only a diaper and a cap lying upright between the mother's bare breasts, with a blanket draped around him) appeared calmer than babies who did not, and took in more oxygen with each breath. Parents Tips & Tricks The key to happiness is having dreams; the key to success is making them come true. - James Allen Achieve Your Dreams Things to Be Happy About: Golden silence, a heartfelt thank-you note. A non disparaging joke. 14,000 Things to Be Happy About Where you're going is more important than where you stand. Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me The secret to learning to open your heart is the willingness to connect to your essence and the essence of the person you are judging. From there, the magic of compassion opens limitless doors to human connection. If Life is a Game, These are the Rules Each of us has roots and the ability to trace those roots, to identify our ancestors. The highest and most powerful motivation in doing that is not for ourselves only, but for our posterity, for the posterity of all mankind. As someone once observed, "There are only two lasting bequests we can give you children - one is roots, the other wings." Seven Habits of Highly Effective People When you order a catalog or subscribe to a magazine, ask that your name not be sold. This will reduce the junk mail that clutters up your life. Simplify Your Life Be aware of unhealthy ways of thinking that can cause and increase stress. Ask yourself: (1) Am I thinking in ways that tend to be overly negative? (2) Are my expectations realistic? (3) Would an objective observer view or interpret this situation differently? (4) Will this make any difference to me in a week, a year, or ten years? Stress Busters Teach your kids how to make a rubber band all. Roll a rubber band into a ball. Then, every time you find a rubber band, wrap it around the ball. It's great for storing rubber bands, too! One day, they'll have their own homemade rubber ball. To Do Today You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration. - James Allen. Win the Day! Entregarse (ehntrehGAHRseh) To surrender. Entregate! Surrender! Living Language *SPECIAL BIRTHDAY:
One's life has value so long as one attributers value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion. - Simone de Beauvior "Women are too emotional." "Women are the intuitive ones." "Women are gossips." "Women are the only nurturers." These are some of the myths we've been taught about women. When we view women through false notions of how they should be," we limit our ability to experience their uniqueness, to appreciate their talents. When we embrace stereotypes rather than individuals, we lock real women out of our hearts, depriving ourselves of the experience of true relationships. Each one of us is unique. Like men, women are individuals who are sometimes creative, sometimes aggressive. Sometimes women are warriors, sometimes peacemakers. They have the same amazing range of potential that men have. When we let go of our habitual concepts about how women are, or should be, we open ourselves to the wonderful experience of truly meeting another human being, a unique and complex individual full of surprises, bearing many gifts. Today I will consciously let go of my mental stereotypes about women. I will treat each woman I meet as a unique human being.

Strike IX: The story of a big East college forced
to eliminate its baseball program and the team that refused
to lose, Paul Lonardo.. In October, 1998, as fall
practice was getting underway for the Providence College
baseball team, the players and coaches learned that their
sport was going to be eliminated after the 1999 season.
Knowing that this was going to be the last year that
baseball would be played at PC, the team decided to put
their emotions and anger aside and make it a season to
remember by becoming champions. This is the story of this
historic year and the players who decided to make their
statement on the field and show the school administration
that they made a mistake. Infinity Publishing, infinitypublishing.com,
