All We Need Is A Cucumber




Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
-Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
-Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
-Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish many essential nutrients, reducing the intensity of both hangover and headache.
-Out of  WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge?
Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
-Stressed out and don’t have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
-Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints?
Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

What Men Really Want


Ladies, I have come to this conclusion .. according to the analysis of my previous relationships and my readings .. let me give you some advice … We can throw all our stupid self-help, why- doesn't - he - love - me books out, because this is all we need to know: Men will treat us the way we let them ..


what-men-want
There is no such thing as “deserving” respect; you get what you demand from people .. if you demand respect, he will either respect you or he won’t associate with you … It really is that simple …
Honest communication is top priority for men .. They want a woman who answers questions honestly, and perhaps even volunteers information .. They want a woman who confidently asks for her wants and needs to be met .. They want a woman who can see the truth and tell it like it is while communicating with kindness .. Men want a woman who can communicate without being too critical, who cares about preserving his and her dignity ..
Men want a woman to choose them out of want rather than out of desperation — either materially or emotionally .. Men need to be wanted and needed by their partners, but they want their partners to have a separate identity .. Ladies, please note that they don’t want someone clingy .. If you are one person who has her own set of friends and can hang out by yourself, you are closer to hitting the jackpot ..
Men want no manipulation of any kind .. They do not want to read their partner’s mind or try to interpret signals .. They do not want to be forced to move faster in a relationship than they are ready .. They do not want to be manipulated into taking all the blame for things gone wrong .. They do not want to be on the receiving end of game playing ..
Men want a partner who can laugh at herself and who has courage and strength .. They want a woman who can see her part in relationship dynamics and own it .. She has to be emotionally stable .. Men want a woman who is developing herself personally, and who takes responsibility for her emotional experience ..
Fidelity is an absolute must .. In fact, men want a woman who does not have a “roaming eye” and who can wholeheartedly commit to the relationship .. Many may define commitment as fidelity plus the willingness to work on the relationship — even when the going gets tough ..

what men wantMost men want acknowledgment and appreciation from women .. The most powerfully romantic card a woman could give a man on Valentine’s Day would not be one that tells him how much she loves him and adores him .. No, the kind of card that he would keep and show his buddies (who would react with stunned awe and envy) would be a card in which she tells him how deeply she respects and admires him, how much she appreciates all he does for her and their family ..


So ladies, how about you write a card to your man, telling him genuinely how much you respect him, and see how he reacts? Let me know in the comments below! And Guys, let me know if I’m right .. :)

Persist Until You Win Online

Now is a good time to start and operate your own business from the comfort of your own home, surely, you've seen the ads and heard the talk on television .. Well, unlike in the past, now, it's not just hype .. The Internet has indeed made it possible for people to earn good money right from home .. 
 This article attempts to give some of the reasons why this is possible and why you might want to consider taking on such a venture ..
Making money from home using the Internet is now one of the hottest activities going today .. By combining the Internet and business thousands of people are now legitimately operating businesses while still in their pajamas and three minutes from their bedroom ..
The Internet Has Opened The Door For Everyone .. 
It used to be that a home business meant that you would have to stockpile a bunch of stuff in a closet or spare bedroom ..
Not anymore, with the emergence of the Internet, there is no real reason why you should not be happily operating your own Internet business ..
The Internet and emerging technology has made it possible to be in business without having to actually have physical space for that business ..
Affiliate Programs Promising All Kinds Of Money Abound On The Internet ..
Again, with the growth of the Internet, affiliate programs are found all over the Internet .. Affiliate programs are the easiest way to start earning money using the Internet ..The programs are generally easy to earn and are pretty simple to understand when it comes to what is required to earn money .. A good affiliate program could result in you earning meaningful extra dollars per month ..
Building a successful business will require persistence and determination .. Though many would like you to believe otherwise, there's simply no such thing as "get rich quick." And, I'm sorry, but almost all "overnight success" stories you hear about were actually YEARS in the making ..
 Don't Quit
Success comes before work ONLY in the dictionary, but stick with it and you can experience the massive success that those with unrealistic, "I-want-it-now" expectations never hang around long enough to receive ..
 "Failure is the path of least PERSISTENCE." -Unknown 
 "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-John Calvin Coolidge

From Egyptians To The People Of The World




We, the Egyptian people, who have decided to take to the streets on the 30th of June 2013, would like to make our voices heard .. Following the success of the People’s Revolution, and the ousting of the Fascist regime of the Muslim Brotherhood, we have witnessed Western media reports call our revolt – a military coup – well, it certainly is NOT .. More than 20 million of us took to the streets to say (GO) to a president who was not only incompetent in governing the country, but who also, with his group of fascists, threatened the very existence of Egypt .. We said NO to a regime that wanted to eradicate a 7000 thousand year old civilization; a regime that called opposition traitors and heretics, and a fascist group that incited Egyptians against each other and called for violence and bloodshed ...
Can people in the West condone such a regime? Would you have liked to live under a regime that ostracized women and minorities? Would you have liked to be ruled by a man who worked for the best interest of his own faction, ignoring the rest of the population, and encouraging exclusion? How many of you would have accepted the appointment of incompetent people in high office just because they are members of the ruling faction? Would you have liked to live under the rule of a government that encouraged nepotism? How would you have felt when you heard, on a daily basis, these horrible TV channels, encouraged by the Muslim Brotherhood, threatening all those opposed to the regime with violence and murder? Could you have appreciated a government that did nothing to stop, or end, the siege of the Supreme Constitutional Court and the Media City? Will you accept a regime that did nothing to stop the attack on the major Cathedral in your country, or punish those who have burned down churches and forcibly displaced hundreds of Christian families? Will you condone the thousands of lawsuits brought against journalists and artists? How would you have reacted when you had to go for days – in 2013 – without water, electricity or gas, just because those in office are totally incompetent? Tell us, will you have tolerated living surrounded by garbage because your government could not find a solution for garbage collection in this day and age? And finally, who in the West would have accepted a president who issued a constitutional declaration that gave him unlimited powers?
Nobody would have tolerated such excesses – SO WHY SHOULD WE? 
Dear world, To be informed by MB representatives and sympathizers in Egypt, and elsewhere, is certainly a biased act that only goes to prove that the media industry is directed by official government attitudes and is far from being honest in transferring the truth to the people. When in January 2011 Egyptians ousted Mubarak, all Western media hailed this as a revolution, despite the fact that he (unconstitutionally) delegated the power to the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, which ruled for 18 months! Why was it not called a military coup then? Strange! Well, it was encouraged because it was in the best interest of some governments to have this state of affairs. And today, when double the number of people in 2011 took to the streets against Morsi, and the head of the Constitutional Court is sworn in as interim president - it is labeled a “military coup”- double standards – to say the least!We fail to understand the rationale behind marring the image of an exceptional, truly magnificent great mass revolt against tyranny, fascism and terrorism .. Unless, indeed, it is in the best interest of governments who have invested in supporting religious fascism in Egypt
People of the world, please see the truth as it really is: we rejected a regime that was destroying our very identity and our homeland, we revolted and the army responded to our demands .. It is that simple .. Egyptians are inventing their own history, and that is how we want it, and the governments that are going against this had better understand that they are really going against the people of Egypt ..
Long live Egypt .. Egyptians & Proud.

From an Egyptian in Alexandria


"In a Nutshell...

A lot of my dear American friends sill ask me what on earth really happened in egypt, for their benefit, and anyone else on earth genuinely trying to make heads or tails of us "crazy Egyptians" ; here's exactly what happened in Egypt over the past 12 months, but expressed in 'American" terms...

There are no exaggerations or lies, these events all took place:

On June 30th 2012, democratically elected Barack Obama wins the election with 51.7%, takes the oath, and is sworn in as president of the United States.

First five months of his term go relatively smoothly, where he makes almost no decisions (except for some dubious presidential pardons to a dozen convicted terrorists, including some convicted for their part in the assassination of a former US President).

Suddenly, on November 21st 2012, president Obama issues a presidential decree giving himself sweeping powers, to the extent that his future decrees become un-contestable in any court, in effect his decisions henceforth are akin to the word of God.

His laws a new Bible...

Nationwide protests erupt as a result of this decree and 1.5 million people organize a sit-in at the White House to peacefully request he rescind it.

Some of Obama's election party supporters attack the peaceful sit-in outside the White House with guns & shoot 5 peaceful protesters dead

A few weeks later president Obama dissolves the US Supreme Court and labels them all "traitors to America"

One short week later, he fires the United States District Attorney and personally appoints a Democrat to replace him.

A month later he annuls the US Constitution and forms a 'constitutional committee' to draft a new constitution (committee includes no Republicans or Independents, no Moslems or Jews, and only a handful of women.. And is composed primarily of Democrats & religious preachers)

In a referendum not supervised by any judicial branch, this constitution narrowly wins, and President Obama ratifies it the very next morning (despite it having only gotten the approval of 18% of all Americans).

Within a month he invites top global terrorists, known jihadists and Al Qaeda members from all over the world, to a rally in Yankee stadium, where he cuts ties with and declares war on, Canada.

Throughout this whole time, the US economy is sinking, the stock market collapsing, foreign investment has all but stopped, tourism has died, and electricity, fuel, and water shortages are a daily occurrence.

Unemployment has almost doubled, and the US$ dollar has lost 20% of its value globally.

Oh, and president Obama also outlines his new plans to lease the entire Silicon Valley area to China for 50 years (with full administrative control)...

Democratically elected president Barack Obama has done all the above in his FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE!!!

Ultimately, on June 30th, 2013...

110 million Americans take to the streets in 50 States peacefully and politely demanding -for 4 straight days- that democratically elected Obama leave immediately, and not continue his remaining 3 years....

That's it in a nutshell

Who would you say had "legitimacy" in this case if it had been America?

"Democratically elected Barrack Obama", or the 110 million Americans who fired him ... ?"

Dear Mr. Obama - Regards From Egypt





We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.US Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776





watch the video & do your math .. 





Dear Mr. Obama,
For the past 15 years your CIA brains have been planning to change Egypt into another Iraq. Well, NICE TRY. You have FAILED. You don't understand a lot about Egypt, sir. Maybe you should ask your Kenyan Muslim relatives about the status of our country in the Holy Qur'an, or how Prophet Mohamed, peace be upon him, described our army. Egypt has been mentioned in our Holy Book five times, and is described as a secure country where people live in peace and harmony. Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) has described our soldiers as the best on the planet, stating clearly that our army and the Egyptian people remain united till the end of time .. In the Bible, the Egyptian people are described as the blessed nation of Jesus Christ .. So Mr. Obama, you can kindly oblige us by calling in your lady of doom Mrs. Anne Patterson back home to the USA, as she is no longer welcome in Egypt .. We hope you have learnt that not all countries yield to manipulation and that you should not attempt to spend the money of American tax payers creating dictatorships in countries of independence and sovereignty .. We call upon all Americans whom we know as a peace loving people to seriously investigate their government's sincere endeavors to aid terrorists imposing a fascist regime, is this what they pay taxes to achieve? Are these the human values upon which you have been elected??

Respectfully,
The Egyptian People

There were many open minds and a golden chance for the MB to prove that they were not the dictatorial theocratically twisted power grabbing inhuman creatures they proved to be after one year of a chance ..They have not kept their word one time, lied constantly, stole Egypt's resources & so many other treacherous acts ... never mind the fascist agenda which made heretics of Moslems all over Egypt and athiests of Christians ... they've had one year and done incredible damage ... even tourism which has flourished for at least 10 years has come to a total standstill .... most of those outside their ranks who voted for them to give them this chance are now kicking themselves for having done so ... everyone wanted to get rid of them before we drown totally and are no longer the Egypt we know .... this is the will of the people, this is ground level democracy in action .. In Italy they changed presidents maybe 7 times in the space of 4 years, in Greece 3 in 2 years ... it's not a phenomena .. what is a phenomena is to have between 33 to 50,000,000 people in the streets all over Egypt for nearly a week demanding the removal of this destructive government NOW and this after 2 months during which more than 22 million ballots were filled demanding their immediate step down ... Egypt was not being run by Mursi or the (hahahaha) "Freedom & Justice Party" but by the illegitimate Muslem Brotherhood, whose own founder, Hassan el Bana, regretted forming after the assasination of Nokrashy Pasha ...... this is the will of the Egyptian people and it is correct, accordingly, that the army and the police of the people, should act on behalf of the people who tried to remove this cult from power peacefully by demanding early elections after withdrawing confidence from them ...
Thanks to google satellite imagery - BBC World News reported a record-braking 33,000,00 Egyptians took to the streets – That's a LOT of people who had reached their absolute limit and demanded their country back from yet another authoritarian system - ousting a president and rejecting his political party and it's Islamist ideology – The Muslim Brotherhood had coveted the seat of power for over 80 years but it took them only 1 year to lose it! Just saying!

Never before did so many people in human history be so unified against a failed government .. As time will tell and its my deepest of hopes that Egypt can finally break the cycle of authoritarian rule!

Imagine what a nation can do if it channels all its energy from June 30th into building a representative government that’s by and for the people with a universal sense of justice and equality .. Like the pyramids – we're really good at doing the big stuff, it's the details that we need to get better at. But now we're back on track and showing the world - Egypt is not a religious state, we never have been and hopefully never will be again ..

Here are some amazing pictures to check out:
