You may try to save a few bucks by buying a designer handbag
replica, but there are several reasons why it makes sense to buy
the real thing:
1. Although replicas may look like the real thing, the
workmanship and quality can't be compared to the original.
2. Counterfeiters avoid paying taxes since their businesses are
generally operated on a cash basis. Citizens like you and I
still have to pay.
3. The sale of counterfeit designer goods has been linked to
terrorist and gang activity as well as ...Read more...

Fall and winter may have brought out long peacoats and trenches
before, but not this year. One of the most sought-after pieces
for the upcoming season will be the shrunken jacket, in a
variety of styles. The difference between these new, tinier
versions of your traditional autumn and winter favorites is
their length; cuts are the same as traditional coats, but they
hit slightly above the waist and often tie or button under the
chest. The beauty of these new pieces is that they provide
coverage ...Read more...

others what was meant for her. The partner is her/his own

Infidelity by her man is attack on her marital status and is
suicidal for her: 'She looses the trust and dependability; who

"Cats are possessed of a shy, retiring nature, cajoling,
haughty, and capricious, difficult to fathom. They reveal
themselves only to certain favored individuals, and are repelled
by the faintest suggestion of insult or even by the most
trifling deception." - Pierre Loti
Ah, where to start? Cats are among the most celebrated creatures
of literature. They're domesticated and at the same time wild,
loved and at the same time hated. They stand for stealth and
mystery, the power of silence and ...Read more...

The rose is perhaps one of the most powerful symbols in the
metaphysical world. It is also one of the most accessible tools
that can be used for everyday magic. The gift of a rose is also

B>One Woman's Story That Changed My Life (part 1)
I, like most men, had grown up in an era, much like those of the
decades before, that collectively believed that women who

boyfriend or "some-guy" for whatever reason and were using this
as a weapon to "get him in trouble." Or, worse yet,
2) "Asking for it," because of they way they dressed, talked, or
presented themselves.
As for the first belief, I believe that ...Read more...

has been tattooed as a gender-specific crime, committed by men.

Stalking, for the most part, is about relationships'prior,
desired, or imagined. Sixty-percent of stalkers have a personal
relationship with their victims before the stalking ...Read more...

to one another and not in competition? By joining the forces of
logic and intuition, one can even enhance their safety from one
of the most damaging criminal acts-sexual assault. ...Read more...
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power
of contemplation rather than upon mere survival- Aristotle

the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Statistics reported
that roughly 18% or 17.7 million women had experienced rape or
attempted rape at some point in their lifetime. While there ...Read more...
