The international community is discontent about the $28 million dollars invested in the November 28,2010 Haitian election. An election that was supposed to run smoothly, but instead is said to be corrupted and filled with confusion.Two candidates are currently left to battle head to head for the final goal of being Haiti's new President. The cries of the people are over looked and the anger quickly turns into violence when Michel"Sweet Mickey" Martelly was nominated out of the final round of the election.The end result being first lady Mirlande Manigat and prefered candidate of previous president Renee Preval, Jude Celestin reaching for success.<br />
Haiti is constantly being struck by devastations. The most destructive was the January 12, 2010 earthquake that left an estimated 230,000 dead and over one million people homeless. The 2010 election brought a certain hope to the people that change was under way. A change that was supposed to be a positive one for the Haitian people. As lines formed in the early a.m. of Novemeber 28,2010, anxious Haitian citizens waited as voting polls opened.Voters approached the voting table only to be turned away for not being registered at the right polls. Tension throughout the country began to rise as voting polls began to report the same confusing scenario.Thousands of people were rejected at the voting polls,including well known artist Wyclef Jean. As the day went on a solution was never found and the voice of thousands were neglected. For the people of Haiti a slap in the face by Mother Nature is road block to overcome, but a slap in the face by mankind was inexcusable. This action was the cause of the protest in the street and chaos that continue to hit the capital of Haiti.<br />
U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton stated on Monday that patience is running out on this election deadlock. The current President, Rene Preval once again asked for the help of the international community with a vote recount. Michel Martelly who still has not given up on his hope of becoming the new Haitian president oppose the recount calling it a "trap" and he is supported by current presidential running Mirlande Manigat. Both of them worried that a recount will put Rene Preval favorite, Jude Celestin in the presidential seat. A choice that is rejected by many in the Haitian community.<br />

Change is inevitable, but will it be the change that the people of Haiti is hoping for.A change that will make or break the country of Haiti</div>Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16164069032098220705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246399900058390428.post-61989160858325137002010-11-17T15:00:00.000-08:002010-11-17T15:00:32.262-08:00TV Review: Dancing with the Stars - Talent or Politics? - Video - Blogcritics<a href="http://blogcritics.org/video/article/tv-review-dancing-with-the-stars22/">TV Review: Dancing with the Stars - Talent or Politics? - Video - Blogcritics</a>Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16164069032098220705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246399900058390428.post-15702601580161789642010-11-17T05:51:00.000-08:002010-11-17T05:51:03.091-08:00Music Review: Rihanna - Loud - Music - Blogcritics<a href="http://blogcritics.org/music/article/music-review-rihanna-loud/">Music Review: Rihanna - Loud - Music - Blogcritics</a>Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16164069032098220705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246399900058390428.post-91449829671576206442010-11-12T11:02:00.000-08:002010-11-12T11:02:27.301-08:00Lynn: The Makeup beyond Makeups<a href="http://marilyn954.blogspot.com/2010/11/makeup-beyond-makeups.html?spref=bl">Lynn: The Makeup beyond Makeups</a>: "I have always been a fan of Mac Cosmetics.

Her persona was great and her energy was positive,not to mention the fact her makeup looked AWESOME!!! I explained to her that I needed to replace my studio stick foundation. "Unfortunately that foundation is discontinued" she answered. That statement turned a smile to a frown,instantly. "But sit here and let me test the new line on you" she replied.

She began by moisturizing my skin with the moisturizer. I loved it, My skin felt soft and silky, not heavy at all. Following the moisturizer she applied the the Pro Long wear Concealer and mixed together with the Pro Long wear SPF Foundation. Mixing the two she told me , was the key to getting a natural finished looked. The transformation of one side of my face with just the basics impressed me. Scharon continued to the other side of my face with just the basics and her doing that was reminder to me why Mac Cosmetics is most popular cosmetic throughout the nation. Schraon finalized the basics with Prep+Prime finished powder once again mixed with the loosed powder in my skin tone. I was happy with the final look. The look was a natural day look and she added a touch of color with the Raizin, Mac blush ; the Mahogany ,Mac lip liner and the Viva Glam lipstick. This natural look was great for a day at the office or even perfect in front of the camera for a news broadcaster. </div><br /><div>I will always be impressed with Mac Cosmetics.

A customer was buying <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marijuana</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">paying</span> for it at the register. I looked around to make sure that a camera crew wasn't going to pop out with a group of people laughing, but this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">wasn't</span> a joke. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Marijuana</span> being sold out of a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">convenience</span> store?? When did this happen. I thought California was the only state that legalized marijuana and they are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> not being sold out of stores. The package being brought said "Mr Nice Guy" When the customer opened his package at the register I couldn't believe my eyes. This couldn't be marijuana? So I decided to be nosey and investigate.<br /><br />Mr. Nice Guy is an synthetic <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marijuana</span> that is being sold as herbal incense. The product claims that it is a blend of different herbal smoke blends and is 100% drug test safe. It was being sold on the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">herbalcity</span>.com website and is now being sold at our local <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">convenience</span> store and gas stations for $20.00-$30.00 per package, which weighs about one gram.<br /><br />So what are the side effects and what makes this blend so different from marijuana that it is okay to be sold out of stores? Doctors are indicating that the product is a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">stronger</span> version of the drug minus the THC. It is a variety of the herbals plants sprayed with chemicals <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">mimicking</span> THC. Mr. Nice Guys label states that it should not be used for humans consumption. This synthetic <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marijuana</span> has been banned in 8 states and is leaving trails of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">emergency</span>room visits and linked to some deaths. The symptoms include dizziness, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nausea</span>, abnormal heart beat, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hallucinations</span>.<br /><br />So I guess Mr Nice guys isn't so nice after all? and to my parents out there, here is another one to put on your list of things to educate our kids about.<br /><br /><strong>POLL: Do you think that parents should educate their kids about Mr. Nice Guy or should parents keep it quiet until it's an issue at home or school.

I have not worked as a preschool teacher for over 7 years so I forgot how smart these one year and two years old children could be. They watch the information around them and absorbs it like a sponge. A toddlers mind should not be underestimated. There are many ways to use this exciting revelation to a parents advantage. Stimulating your toddlers mind is the best way to avoid negative behaviors. These simple 5 techniques can also help prepare these little people for preschool.<br /><br />1-Have an actual conversation with your toddler, no baby talk. Use actual words. If they point or wine for an object that they want, associate that object with the proper word. If you give the object to them after they point to it without the association you can be holding them back from talking.<br />2-Reading is fundamental. Reading for a toddler is the best way to stimulate their mind. Let them interact with you to keep the story interesting. Keep in mind the little ones attention span is short. So keep the book simple.<br />3- Let's Bake- Let your toddler help you add the ingredients to the batter or even pour the batter in the pan.<br />4- Music-did you know that playing smooth or classical music while you child is sleeping stimulates healthy brain development. Have no shame in popping in the Mozart or Kenny G , both you and your toddler can enjoy and nap in peace.<br />5- Library Time-Your toddler is not to young to go to the library. Most local libraries have programs for ages 1yr-3yrs. They encourage parent participation, so go to the library and have fun with your little one.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16164069032098220705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246399900058390428.post-78204437204348264502010-10-20T12:05:00.000-07:002010-10-22T15:27:38.259-07:002010 Election-The IssuesWith Florida elections right around the corner it is surprising to me how people are still undecided on who would be the best fit behind the Florida <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Senator</span></span> and Governor's desk. It is like the voters are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">blinded</span> and can not see the issues that affect <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Florida</span></span> daily. The issues such as the elderly residents waiting in line for days in hopes of getting affordable housing on Wednesday morning. Only to be told that only a handful of them will e able to call one of these places home. Florida is the leader in the nation for high-school drop outs. This issue seem to slip the minds of many. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Unemployement</span></span> is at all all time high and has spiked up to 11.4% .<br /><br />Florida <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">candidates</span></span> are slandering each other daily by either commercials or debates. We the voters need to avoid these political tactics and vote for the better fit that will resolve our state's problems.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16164069032098220705noreply@blogger.com0
