"Why Women Should Rule the World"

I can give you several reasons why. I am not saying I am pro-women and anti-men, but women still manage to get the shaft in several areas including equal pay, respect, recognition, etc. I am not one to hide the facts of all sides of a situation so I will be honest that sometimes women are their own worst enemy. Regardless, women should have much more impact on the state of affairs on a national and global level. Besides the occasional catty and trashy chick fights, you don't see women fighting and being uncommunicative. Emotions aside, women communicate and men follow, break, and change rules. There is simply too much testosterone running the world and the only way to change that is with women.

Here is a real world example from my interesting and colorful life. Most folks know I am a live music addict. I love going to shows and festivals and rocking out with my like-minded friends. After over a decade of roaming around the hippie/jam band circuit I have learned LOTS of things. Much of it I apply in various direct and indirect ways to running Rachel Carter PR. And a huge social norm of the scene applies directly to national and world politics...the groups that hang together at festivals.

Group 1: All young chicks, no dudes. This is just not safe and stupid. The girls get too messed up, aren't prepared, have no experience, etc.

Group 2: All older chicks, no dudes. These mamas are about female empowerment and unless the gathering has a specific purpose for this, these ladies are probably pains in the butt to deal with.

Group 3: All dudes, no chicks. This is the worst group to encounter. They are foul, rude, cause trouble, are looked at as shady (and many are), and for the most part they are poster children for the concept that every good man needs a good woman. The worst thing about this group is most of the dudes are probably good guys, but in the mix of a testosterone only group, they go beyond the limits of what they should as good people.

Group 4: Mostly dudes, one or two chicks. The gals here are either girlfriends who are more meek than muscle or the one power chick who gets off on being amongst only dudes (because the power chick types thinks she's way too much of a pain in the butt). These one or two ladies will not have much effect on keeping the fellows in check.

Group 5: The mixed group of guys and gals, friends and relationships, siblings and co-workers, various ages. Any healthy group of individuals in the live music circuit consists of this form of arrangement. Checks and balances. The guys can be guys, the chicks can be chicks, the leaders can lead, the followers can chill, the group is prepared, the group is safe, the group is cohesive, the group is a positive attribute to the entire scene. And the nature of the group keeps individual demons in check.

Do you see where I am going? Everyone knows in politics the chicks without guys are just femi-nazis or whatever other names politicians and media want to call them. How come no one ever talks about guys without chicks? They are testosterone filled douchbags! And all the guys with one power chick? No better!!!


I am certainly not the one to talk abut this on a national level, so I am putting my faith in former White House press secretary, Dee Dee Myers. For those who don't know, the job of press secretary is the most esteemed public relations job in this country. So whether you are interested in the concept of "women ruling the world" or want to learn more in the scope of publicity from the creme de la creme in the field, you should join myself and a bunch of others at the 7th Annual Key4Women Forum.


The Key4Women Forum is being held this fall in several Northeast locations including the Hilton in Burlington on Wednesday, October 8, 2008 from 8:30 - 10:00 am. The $25 registration fee benefits The Vermont Women's Fund. Registration is available online at www.key.com/womensforum. I went to the forum last year and was blown away. Both the speaker and the networking is second to none in regards to events I have attended in this state. And my continuing kudos to Key Bank and the Key4Women program - their commitment to women business owners is unparalleled in Vermont and their business banking services have really allowed me to learn and grow in running my own Vermont public relations agency.

Hope to see you there!

And powering its various affairs will be the dual core Nvidia Tegra 2.
Additionally, the wireless connectivity has good speed.
It's just a minor annoyance, because the tablet can fit in one hand, and therefore always stay directed to the user.

The only clicks that count toward the monthly totals come from web searches like Google or from visitors who have clicked
on a laptop after visiting our "Notebook Database" or inside our forums.
Samsung, the New York Times, is reporting, is set to offer
for sale the Samsung Galaxy S IV which will offer automatic
scrolling by monitoring eye movements. Here's why:Insulting advertising - I don't just
mean the old ads that slam Apple fans (everyone
bashes on Apple fans these days).

Samsung has unveiled its new handset, the Galaxy S3
in Europe ahead of other markets. Its screen is also a little
bit larger than the HTC One's (they're about equally sharp),
it has a micro - SD slot for expandable memory, and it'll be available on Verizon -- the HTC One will not. i - Phone application developers and Apple app store still holds unmatchable number of apps in terms of quality.

There is always a case to be made for a larger monitor to better enjoy the web, and the Ben - Q EW2420HD is certainly on my list for combining two HDMI ports,
full HD (I have no time for HD-ready devices), an attractive bezel, and a price on the right side of $300.

6 ounces, is a light at all so easily held with one hand and easy to carry in
your bag. ' Many websites and commentators took this to mean that Amazon would establish the connection to your bank and send the results to you.

Many homes have fireplaces for both warmth and decor. Fadell has
worked with Steve Jobs for several years and architected Apple's i - Pod and the first few versions of the i - Phone, some of the most successful consumer electronics products in our time. This keeps your unit from having to work so hard to heat the water.

Yes, that is less than my i - Pad weighed in its Otter - Box Case.

As expected, the models of consoles offered include
the Xbox 360, the Sony Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii.
Compared to the Mac - Book Professional especially, it has
the slow processor.

Decide what you want in terms of features, processing power, memory and hard drive
capacity, never forgetting graphics cards, size and quality of display and the weight
and battery life. The specifications are sure
to attract every gadget geek, but anyone who has the opportunity to get their hands on the Play - Book will never want to part ways
with it. You can output the display to a bigger monitor with the help of a mini- HDMI slot.

In other words, it enables you to carry on working when not connected to the
internet, a feature being introduced in the next few
weeks. What you need and prefer in a computer
will determine if you will be satisfied with Chromebook or
another computer. Many years in the past the user had to write their programming code manually, using some cryptic
codes.

They (Sony) purchased Crackle for a reputed $65 million in 2006, just prior to Google's $1. This article lists the most promising and thought provoking tech gadgets available for under $100. We've already delivered our
verdict as to what can be expected from the i - TV (or whatever it is called) and the Cupertino-based company will also need
to navigate carefully because studios already have Hulu.
