9/11 MOVIE GIVEAWAY


Based on true events, 9/11 tells the story of 5 people trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center. As the sun rises in NYC on the morning of September 11, 2001, the day seems no different. 

Visit the official 911 movie website for more information.

9/11 opens in theaters on September 8 and has an all star cast including Luis Guzman(The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3), Gina Gershon (Showgirls), Wood Harris (Justified), Jacqueline Bisset (Dancing on the Edge (BBC), Welcome to New York), Olga Fonda (The Vampire Diaries) and Bruce Davison (X-Men).


In the WTC, a billionaire sits in his attorney’s office awaiting a divorce hearing against his wife. In a west side apartment, a bike messenger kisses his 5-year old daughter and sings her “Happy Birthday” before leaving for work. A maintenance man gets dispatched to help a WTC tenant with his lock. In an upper east side apartment, a young model musters the courage to break up with her sugar daddy. As random as random can be, these individuals step into a crowded WTC elevator. 

Wrapped up in their own world, they all ride silently hearing only the sound of the elevator giving notice of each floor. When the elevator stops on the 34th floor, it empties leaving only these five behind. Moments later ... their world changes as the collision of a jet into the North Tower incapacitates the elevator. 

With no understanding of what has happened and is happening around them, these fives are forced to band together and fight against all odds to escape from the impending horrific collapse. During these critical minutes, a story of courage, faith and the will to live unfolds.

My 9/11 Story

I was doing dishes. It was my first day off in 8 days. At the time I worked for a local ambulance company and we were short staffed so I had been working alot. My husband, at the time, yelled to me that I needed to come see the television. A plane had hit a tower in New York. As I held my then 6 month old son, I watched in horror as the day unfolded. Another tower hit, a plane in a field and the Pentagon. As I watched the towers fall, my heart fell and broke into a million pieces.
I lost 2 people close to me that day. Both worked for the City of New York for the Fire Department.
I desperately wanted to donate my time to search and recovery but my company wouldn't let me and neither would my body being so close post partum. The only thing I could do was donate blood.
 A few months later I was in Boston and I overheard someone say that America deserved it. The dead people deserved it. And I lost it. I vented to that insensitive human and almost got arrested. I was so teary and angry something that I usually am not.
It took me a long time to find peace. But I have found it.
Now, I make sure my children know about that horrid time in American history. I went over it with my 12 yo daughter a few months ago. They do not teach this in school. That is a total shame, That time frame is an important part of American history that we can not forget.

Things about Australia I Never Knew


I have always been fascinated by Australia. When I was 12 my neighbors grandchildren from Australia visited her for the summer. Not only was he adorable but his accent had me falling in love! 

I have wanted to travel there since but I became a US Homebody and never got the opportunity to go. Recently I have done some research and investigating on the vacation of my dreams and that makes me want to visit Australia even more now than I wanted when I was a kid. 

Here are some of the things I have discovered:

 If you visited one new beach in Australia every day, it could take you up to 27 years to see and visit them all. I could think of worse ways to spend 27 years!
There are 60 designated wine regions in Australia. Your bound to find a wine you love with those type odds!





Australia has 3.3x more sheep, baaa, than people. WOW! All I'm going to say!







There have been no deaths in Australia from an icky spider bite since 1979. Which is good since I hate spiders! Australia does however have sharks, snakes and massive salt water crocodiles. And those have been known to have an impact on life expectancy in some instances. 
The world's largest sand island can be found in Australia - Fraser Island!

Australia has the world’s longest golf course measuring more than 850 miles long. I'm not a golf fan but if you want a vacation with your man and he loves golf, he can golf while you hit up one of those many gorgeous beaches!

The Great Barrier Reef is the planet’s largest living structure

Australia is the 6th largest country by size, a massive 2.9 million square miles. And even though its size is massive the population is only 22.6 million.

The Australian coat of arms features 2 endemic animals; an emu and a kangaroo. Both of which can only move forward, which is widely considered a symbol of progress and represents the notion that the country is never going backwards.

Australia has 516 national parks.

Most people are Protestant or Roman Catholic.

Kargoorlie, a remote town in the state of Western Australia is currently the worlds largest producer of gold.

Now you know more about the beautiful island! 

Here is an interview with someone from Australia! He has served as Australia’s senior government official to the G20 economic summits and has represented the prime minister at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. His name is Andrew Charlton. Read the interview HERE.

You can read another wonderful article on Andrew Charlton HERE. This article was posted on Quarterly Essay, Australia's leading journal on politics, culture and debate.

Free Sample of SASMAR Personal Lubricant

Free Sample of SASMAR Personal Lubricant 
 
Chicago, 2 August 2017: Personal lubricant brand SASMAR, announced today that it has launched a global lube sample campaign allowing consumers to try one of their long lasting formulations that will be mailed to them free of charge and no purchase is required.

SASMAR aims to enhance the quality of consumers lives with its personal lubricants that are designed to replenish moisture, feel silky and soft on the skin and actually help to increase the pleasure of lovemaking for both partners. The free sample campaign is designed to encourage consumers to experience the high quality of SASMAR personal lubricant formulations and also for consumers who have never used a lube to try personal lubricant for the first time.

The stigma associated with personal lubricant being only for those that experience vaginal dryness or couples “not doing it right” is a myth and our goal with this free sample offering is to communicate the message that SASMAR lube adds fun and excitement for all couples says Laurent Joly, Assistant Brand Manager. “The number of requests received in the past days is incredible and we are looking forward to getting the samples out for people to try!”he further added.

SASMAR was founded in 2005 due to increasing demand from consumers wanting to buy high quality intimate lubricant that did not give them thrush, dry out quickly or get sticky from a supermarket or pharmacy without needing to order it online and wait days for delivery. True to its promise the company now has its range of water-based, silicone based, warming and flavored lubes in more than 60 countries globally, is a major supplier of lubricant to the United Nations and other non-profit governmental organizations working on the prevention of HIV/Aids and reduction of unwanted pregnancies around the world. SASMAR lubricants are FDA cleared and tested compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms providing assurance to consumers of quality that can be trusted to enhance their love life instead of complicating it.
This isn’t the first time SASMAR has run a free lube sample offer, in 2006 the company launched its silicone lubricant with a huge sample giveaway within Australia that lasted many months and resulted in more than 200,000 samples being distributed across the country from their then headquarters in Sydney.
The SASMAR free lube sample offer is available to consumers in United States (USA), United Kingdom (UK), Australia and most of Europe and being over the age of eighteen is a requirement.
