Hello everyone. I had a miscarriage 11/14/11 and we're TTC again.
Anyone else feel extremely cautious TTC after a m/c? I'm a little jealous of the people that get pregnant and don't have any issues, not because they're pregnant, and I definitely would never want anyone else I know to have to go through that, but because they never had to lose that innocence about pregnancy.
I can't help but be scared that it's going to happen again.

Thanks to the great work of Arparso and Jstubbles, this patch will add dynamic lighting casted by weapon fire, impact, explotions and more on ships, asteroids and other game objects. This patch will only work on the compressed game (default) and patched to the 1.01 version (english). It may (I repeat, MAY) work on an unpatched version, but do it at your own risk.
Installation: simply decompress the file on Nexus' main folder, overwritting the nexus_00.dap file (making a backup is highly encouraged). Keep in mind that this will only work if you didn't decompress the game.
If you did decompress it, here's the corresponding patch: Moddb.com

- Improved Grammys could use a few more cuts
- Feb 13:
- Grammys: Lady Antebellum wins record, song of year
- Denver couple's music in the running for two Grammys
- Why we care about the Grammys: It's less about the music than about getting to know the artists
LOS ANGELES — The bleacher fans went gaga over Lady Gaga at Sunday's Grammy Awards, but then how often do you see someone arrive on the red carpet encased in an iridescent egg-shaped container carried by a gaggle of scantily clad men in gold.
"Gaga! Gaga!" the fans shouted as she passed by on her way inside Staples Center, even though it was impossible to tell what she was wearing and her face couldn't be clearly seen.
That wasn't the case with Nicki Minaj. She wore a short leopard print dress by Givenchy with the back of her hair dyed in a matching leopard pattern. The rest of her hair was done up in a towering blond beehive with a dark streak on the front.
"I love when people say, 'What was she wearing?' Wouldn't you rather be exciting than boring?" she said.
Bieber does a media flyby
Justin Bieber cannot be stopped.
The pop singer breezed by scores of reporters hoping to get a few moments with the 16-year-old phenom.
His parents did stop briefly, with his mother, Patricia Lynn Mallette, saying her son's rise to stardom "has been so unexpected and so quick." Bieber shared the stage during a performance Sunday night with his mentor, Usher.
Disney teen star Selena Gomez, who is reportedly dating Bieber (but they won't confirm it), told The Associated Press she was excited for the show.
"I think everybody should be proud of him," she said.
Women on the rise
First, Janelle Monae didn't get a Grammy nomination in the best new artist category. Then, her luggage got lost on the way to Los Angeles for Sunday's show.
The singer wasn't bitter, though.
"I started recording music in my apartment in my basement, and the fact that I've made it this far, I'm just grateful," the Kansas native said. "My friend Esperanza Spalding, who I want people to know about, is nominated in the best new artist category, and that's what it's about.
"It's about a movement of strong, positive, black female artists in today's music industry."
Prince has been one of Monae's biggest supporters, and she shared his advice.
"It's just remaining an artist," she said. "That's your job and your responsibility, to create and write songs that are uplifting, hopefully they inspire, and they bring people together. What he tells me is to just basically create your own box and run around in it."

Publishing | ICv2 notes the near absence of DC Comics and Marvel on the August BookScan chart, which tracks sales in bookstores. There were no Marvel titles in the Top 20, and the four DC titles — Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Batman: The Killing Joke and V for Vendetta — were all evergreens, not new releases. Particularly noticeable by their absence were any volumes of Wolverine or Kick-Ass, properties with movies released in July and August, respectively. What's hot? Attack on Titan, apparently, with two volumes charting and Volume 1, which was released more than a year ago, getting stronger every month — which means new readers are finding the series now. Curiously, the series is not selling well in comics shops, perhaps because retailers simply aren't ordering it. Eight of the top 20 volumes were manga, including the top seller, the 62nd volume of Naruto. Chart mainstay The Walking Dead placed four books, including the nine-year-old first volume. [ICv2]

Show More Kr Khoury was great! i felt immediately at ease and he answered all of my questions. My big concern was a natural finish so I wouldn't end up looking like Kenny Rogers or a cat! He assured me that I would look like myself, just refreshed. We looked over his portfolio of work and I decided to go for it. So glad I did! I was back to work in 5 days (still some bruising and puffiness but no pain), no real complications. The hardest part for me was not being able to exercise for two weeks. The stitches initially felt like a sunburn or a scratch but nothing more than a 4 on a 1-10 scale. I am coming up on 4 months out and couldn't be happier with the results!

New Funds Offer Investors More Choice For Income In Today's Low Interest Rate Environment
TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Sun Life Global Investments launched four new income funds today geared toward providing investors a source of income as well as one new equity value fund. With interest rates near all-time lows and market uncertainty, investors are facing challenges generating higher income while managing risk - a growing concern for Canadians entering retirement as well as those already in retirement.According to Statistics Canada, approximately 42.4 per cent of the working population is between the ages of 45 and 64. 1 As Canada's aging population continues to grow, investors are looking for alternative sources of income as they move from asset accumulation to asset decumulation. "The current environment we are in is quite difficult for investors to navigate through. They are looking to generate income, while trying to protect what they have accumulated through their working years," says Sadiq S. Adatia, Chief Investment Officer, Sun Life Global Investments. "As Canadians enter the retirement stage, these new funds aim to provide income and generate long-term capital growth. With interest rates remaining persistently low and our aging population on the rise - income funds are growing in popularity." Sun Life Global Investments' new fund line-up includes: Sun Life Granite Managed Portfolios: Sun Life Managed Income Portfolio Sun Life Managed Enhanced Income Portfolio Sub-advised funds: Sun Life Dynamic* Strategic Yield Fund Sun Life Dynamic* Equity Income Fund Sun Life Sentry Value Fund The Sun Life Granite Managed Income Portfolios are two asset allocation portfolios with a diversified mix of income-generating fixed income and equity investments. These portfolios will be managed by Sun Life Global Investments' in-house Portfolio Management team, led by Sadiq S. Adatia and will include funds managed by some of the best income managers for each asset class. These income managers include: BlackRock, GCIC Ltd. (manager of the Dynamic Funds®*), Guardian Capital, MFS McLean Budden, RBC Asset Management and Sentry Investments. The team monitors and adjusts the portfolios based on market conditions. The two additional income funds in the line-up are sub-advised by industry-leading investment manager GCIC Ltd., which brings a wealth of income-oriented investment expertise. The new value-oriented fund will be sub-advised by Sentry Investments, a firm with a consistent investment philosophy aimed at delivering superior risk-adjusted returns and preserving invested capital. The funds will be available through Sun Life advisors, MFDA and IIROC advisors.

A new project launched in the
Many jail staff members contributed to the Christmas toy-making operation, which was headed up by Corrections Sgt. Rebecca Lyke and C.O. Felix Sanchez. Two inmates, Bari Johnson and Scott Flores, were picked by Sanchez to create the 300-plus patrol cars, ducks and boats, because they're serving long-term sentences due to AB 109, and because of their skills: Johnson is a talented woodworker and Flores wanted to help because he has kids at home and it made him feel good to help other children. Female inmates also contributed to the project by helping with painting and quality control.
Materials for the toys were either donated, were surplus, or were purchased by jail staff with their own money. They will be distributed to local children through Toys for Tots, CPS, the Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center, the Children's Receiving Home and to patrol deputies.
"This was a success and hopefully it's the first of many projects," Sanchez said. Sgt. Lyke agreed. "We're hoping to expand our vocational programs and this was a great start."

Planet Asia has undoubtedly made an impact on Hip-Hop consumers these last few years. Running with the ethic of dropping joints one after another has proven a successful pay-off, scoring the vainglorious Fresno-bred emcee a major deal with Interscope Records. As a precursor to the album and to keep his momentum up, Asia delivers the slim-yet-thick 7 track.
Manager/producer 427 lends a rich sound that carries much of this release, opening with the infectious noggin nodder "Holdin' The Crown". Asia boasts, "all I need is my health, a little weed and some wealth" and sticks with it from start to finish. Conceptually he remains in a realm of braggadocio, yet primes his stylings most professionally on this endeavor, making for his most fine tuned effort yet. While Punchline (sans MTV star-partner Wordsworth ) makes an appearance on "Head Honchos" and Shake from Fresno's Skhool Yard joins up on "Stupid" it's when Asia proves he can hold a track alone that the listener gets what they paid for. "Weight" is a good piece of Asia's not-so brag-happy side. Amidst a freaked piano by 427, Asia flexes a the old introspective topic without sounding contrived or boring, proving he can rap about serious subject matter that doesn't include making serious money.
While as an emcee Planet Asia might not be the second coming of Rakim (perhaps a more rambunctious Rasco) he's finally fitting into his style and warranting the respect as a truly hungry emcee. With the Pete Rock to his CL Smooth in Eclipse 427 at the helm providing beautiful beats to back, Asia is well on to being a success in the rap world.

On Thursday night's Tavis Smiley, UC Irvine professor and author Michael Tesler made the claim that "content analysis" showed that President Obama has brought up race less than any other president since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Smiley brought on Tesler to discuss his new book that asks if the election of President Obama made America a "post racial" or "more racial" society. Tesler brought up that when Obama got elected and particularly when he introduced Obamacare, negative racial attitudes or "racialization" as he called it, rose among Republicans.
If you ever want to know what liberal Hollywood really thinks, just watch a Shonda Rhimes show. In about every other episode she has characters going off on thinly veiled self-righteous liberal monologues. Tonight, ABC's Scandal had two separate characters rant about "white men" and "country people."
On Thursday's Closing Bell on CNBC, Rob Reiner repeated his charge that Donald Trump's supporters are "not all racists, but there is a strain there." Host Bill Griffeth wondered, "Don't you think just people are angry — they're angry at Washington; they're angry at their boss?" Instead of immediately pointing to "racism," Reiner admitted that "there is a big chunk of Trump supporters who are very upset at the income inequality." However, he added that "there is a strain of racism that's there — because when you go to the Sanders rallies, there are no racists at those rallies!"
On Wednesday's Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield on CNN, after host Banfield suggested that it might be a disadvantage for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to choose Newt Gingrich as his running mate because "He's not a woman, and he's not black or a minority," far-left CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill jumped in to crack that "He's perfect! He's perfect for Republicans," inspiring laughter from a nearly all-liberal panel.
Left-leaning CNN host Banfield was joined by a conservative-free panel consisting of one liberal, one far-left liberal and one socially liberal moderate Republican for a discussion of the aftermath of Tuesday's Indiana primaries.
Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield, far-left CNN political commentator Sally Kohn oddly brought up the Indiana Ku Klux Klan from the 1920s as evidence of the state being "socially conservative" and "racially divisive," and therefore a place where GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is likely to win by a landslide.
Her analysis was so bizarre that even the left-leaning Ashleigh Banfield stepped in to "stick up for" Indiana residents who "would absolutely disavow that."
Appearing as a guest on Saturday's Smerconish show, CNN political commentator Errol Louis -- political anchor for Time Warner Cable News -- began the segment by blaming Donald Trump for violence by left-wing protesters near his appearances, and concluded the segment with an admittedly "snarky" comment as he sarcastically praised Trump because "he hasn't been endorsed by any Ku Klux Klan leaders lately, so that's one nice thing."
CNN's Brian Lowry reported Comedy Central "fake news" anchor Larry Wilmore drew "groans and grimaces" on Saturday night with a typical White House Correspondents Dinner routine that leaned heavily to the left. He suggested Fox News was racist: "Welcome to Negro Night here in Washington. Or as Fox News will report, 'Two thugs disrupt elegant dinner in DC.'" Wilmore ended his set by thanking Obama for having been the country's first black President: "I'm going to keep it 100: Yo, Barry. You did it, my n*gga!"
A few months back, some maintained that Ted Cruz was ineligible for the presidency because, in their view, he wasn't a natural-born citizen of the United States. In a Thursday article, Jeb Lund made an even more extreme argument about Cruz, suggesting that he isn't even a full-fledged person. Specifically, Lund opined that both Cruz and his would-be running mate, Carly Fiorina, are "spectacular failed approximations of human beings," and huge liars to boot.
Lund also contended that it'd be futile for Cruz to use Fiorina as attacker-in-chief against Hillary Clinton: "Leave aside institutional opposition to equal pay for equal work, forget opposing the re-signing of the Violence Against Women Act…skip over attacks on reproductive rights and ask who came up with the 25 years of ridicule of Clinton…If a quarter century of that bothered Republican voters, then Carly Fiorina is not the solution, especially when her idea of acknowledging a war on women is claiming that Hillary Clinton invented it…And if a quarter century of sexism and legislative scorn didn't bother Republican voters, then what single thing does she change in the slightest?"
The Black Lives Matters folks and their enablers in the press won't like this one bit.
On Wednesday, Washington Post writer Tom Jackman, at the paper's True Crime blog, reported on a rigorous study of police behavior which found that, in his words, "even with white officers who do have racial biases, officers are three times less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white suspects." Talk about busting a meme.
On CNN Thursday night, Sally Kohn sparred with Tea Party News Network's Scottie Nell Hughes over Donald Trump calling out Hillary Clinton for using "the woman card." Hughes defended Trump's statement while Kohn claimed that it was worse on Trump's side because "most of his supporters are only voting for him because he's a white guy."
Last week, a long Vox essay by Emmett Rensin asserted that "contempt" for supposedly "stupid" blue-collar whites -- in response to the exodus of those voters from the Democratic party -- has become pervasive among liberals. The piece has gotten some pushback from lefty writers, including Slate's Jamelle Bouie, who thinks that Rensin greatly overestimates the spread and influence of what Rensin called the "smug style in American liberalism."
"The driving reason working-class whites abandoned the Democratic Party is race," commented Bouie in a Friday piece. "The New Deal coalition Rensin describes was devoured by its own contradictions, chiefly, the racism needed to secure white allegiance even as the party tried to appeal to blacks…Pressed by those blacks, Democrats tried to make good on their commitments, and when they did, whites bolted."
Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's New Day on CNN to plug her book, The Sleep Revolution, Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post defended the Post's over-the-top coverage hitting GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Huffington recalled the editor's note that accompanies every article about Trump -- which calls him a "rampant xenophobe" and "racist" who "incites political violence" -- and also defended the publication's recent caricature of what a Trump "war room" might look like if he were elected President. She concluded that "What we are doing is responsible journalism, pointing out the dangers of a Trump presidency while there is still time to avert it," as she accused much of the media of "dereliction of duty."

News Release: Associated Press News
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Floridians may get as many as four sales tax holidays this year.
The House panel in charge of taxes on Thursday rolled out a package that calls for tax holidays for school supplies, gym memberships, energy efficient appliances and hurricane preparation supplies.
The tax package would also permanently exempt sales taxes charged on car seats and booster seats.
The state's sales tax rate is 6 percent.
Gov. Rick Scott wanted a 10-day back to school sales tax holiday, but the House would limit it to just one weekend in August.
The House package also calls for a three-day holiday on energy efficient appliances and a week-long holiday on gym memberships.
The tax holiday for hurricane-related supplies including generators would run during the first two weeks of June.

Gov. Christine Gregoire five days back declared this "Bob McCausland Week" and almost everyone, including the P-I where McCausland worked for 33 years, missed it.
Gov. Christine Gregoire five days back declared this "Bob McCausland Week" and almost everyone, including the P-I where McCausland worked for 33 years, missed it. A story finally ran today, noting the late newspaper cartoonist was being honored by the governor for, among other things, his memorable "Hairbreadth Husky" sports cartoons - a tradition renewed in a different form for the Seahawks by P-I Pulitzer winning cartoonist David Horsey. McCausland, who died this summer at age 90, will be remembered, the P-I said, for his drawing-board versatility, "from illustrating food stories to sketching defendants in courtrooms." To others, he'll be remembered as the guy who painted the balls off German Shepherds.
I was a P-I copy boy in those days when the art department airbrushed such unsightly appendages - including, no kidding, cow udders - from photos before they were shown to readers of the "family newspaper." The half-dozen artists brushed the fat off society matron's ankles, too, and touched up the awkward smiles of beauty queens. In their free time, they signed footballs for then-UW coach Jim Owens (a newspaper promo contest promised readers autographed footballs but Owens got tired of inking them). Most memorable was a gag photo - a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new highway, as I recall, with one of Gregoire's predecessors, Big Al Rosellini, doing the honors with an oversized pair of scissors. For a joke, one of the artists redrew Rosellini's tie and threaded it through the scissors, making it look like Big Al was absently snipping off his own cravat. Somehow, the gag photo got in the paper. It ran one edition. I don't know if McCausland was the culprit. And I don't know if he wasn't. But here's to him.

Only our Lord Jesus Christ can save us from the carnage of these wars! Much prayer is needed. Many believe that the End Times are upon us, and that our Savior Jesus Christ is manifesting Himself in more and more profound, meaningful, and even miraculous ways.
The first picture shows the entire leaf plaque. The second picture is composed of two photos. The left photo is the close-up of this truly stunning Jesus Christ image itself as it actually appears on the leaf. The right photo is this same close-up but specially rendered by computer to visually emphasize the image of Christ itself for a clearer view of the Christ image with minimal leaf background showing ( similar to a photographic negative and to the photographic research techniques done on the Shroud of Turin to emphasize the Body of Christ image in the burial cloth ). Please note that while the right photo of the image of Jesus on the leaf was processed using a computer, the image itself is NOT a computer image, and it is NOT, produced by using a computer in any way.
This Item is truly unique. This is not a mass-produced Item. The leaf is a real plant leaf that came from a living plant. T will never be another Item exactly like this one ever again.
Again, this is a unique and truly beautiful item. It is symbolic of Jesus's love of the beautiful, pure and bountiful living world He so generously provided us in the beginning, and to warn us to stop destroying His Creation.
To be sure you buy or win this truly beautiful and precious image of Jesus Christ on a leaf, then please be sure that you buy it right away (from my eBay Store), or you are its highest bidder (if on auction). It is perfect for your church, altar, shrine, chapel, religious retreat, nook, reliquary, sacrarium or chancel, hung on your wall (has metal wall hanger hardware in back), or fondly held in your hands during prayers, meditations, and the loving exercise of your religious faith. Or lovingly given as a gift to someone especially precious to you, suffering from injury or illness, or not long for this world. Please also inform those close to you about this very special and unique offer.
NOTE: This is a real plant foliage - not artificial - and not exposed to any kind of chemical treatment or chemical process. The image is not made by any ink, dye, paint or pigment stamped, painted, drawn, engraved, stenciled, stippled or tatooed onto the leaf. Nor is the image etched or burned on using heat or any kind of chemical or radioactivity. Nor is the image pasted, cemented or glued onto the leaf, or "straw art" or any other form of composite art. Nor is the image made by a computer, printer, plotter or photo printer. Nor is the image a reflection, optical illusion, double exposure, magic trick, or the result of any other optical or photographic trick or process. And I have never exposed the plant or its leaves to fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, or to any other chemical except rain water and tap water. After the blessed image of Jesus Christ appeared, I non-chemically and non-thermally preserved the leaf to be sure that the leaf, and thus its precious image of Jesus Christ, would be protected and preserved for a very long time. I also flattened the leaf using a standard flower press so that its Jesus image would have maximum clarity.
Please purchase today! If you yourself is not interested in this Item, perhaps others you know would be. Whether you bid on my item or not and you have an opinion or question about it, please email me. Thank you. - John J. Williams 100+ more items - many similar => my Ebay Store!

You guys know me. I'm not good at standing up for myself. And I don't know how to speak my mind. I'm really just a very shy person most of the time. How do I cope with living with these people? How can I make the room under the stairs comfortable?

-Mr_Fess-, on 31 December 2012 - 03:25 PM, said:
You know, you're right. I was thinking here is a hitchhiker who goes to the cops and says the guy who gave her a lift was being creepy. Suddenly there's news story, a public alert about this guy and resourcees are dedicated to it? All because he made her uncomfortable? I hate when stories are this vague. He refused to pull over, gasp, alert the public.
Actually, when a passenger asks to "pull over and let me out" and the driver does not, that's illegal confinement.
And, to make matters potentially worse, if the two did not previously know each other, and the driver refuses to let the passenger out at any time, that could be legally construed as kidnapping.
Of course, in this case we're talking about only one person's word against another without witnesses to anything truly wrong. For all anyone knows, she could have been messed-up on drugs, paranoid, etc.
If the police ever do find the driver, they have a right and obligation to question him, but certainly not to arrest him unless he say's something incriminating.
I'm no lawyer(yuck if I ever was!) but just stating my gut-feelings on this case.

Oh, here it comes again that old ennui
I hope it won't stay long, well it's every man to his own thing
And every singer to his song, if you're feeling low
And all upset nothings going right
You just make a wish like in a fairy tale
And I'll bewitch you if it takes all night
There are many things that I could say
To try and comfort you, but I know the words you'd like to hear
Are simply I love you sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down a topsy turvy life
But only searching for the truth
And I'll find it If it takes all night long, well I myself
May main concern is what I can afford
So if music be my mistress, then at least she's madame Claude D'accord
Ah, more champagne to lose this pain
Would be very nice, so I'll help myself to one more drink
And I'll find myself, if it takes all night long

The hand drum is one of the world's most ancient and sacred instruments. Far from just another percussive, it has evolved over the years to play a vital role in aspects of innumerable human endeavors. Percussion is a crucial component to cultures around the world. From the Africa djembe, to the congas of Latin Americas, drums and drumming are simply integral to many ways of life. Beyond just entertainment, drumming is truly a means of communication. For many they are also an important piece of ceremonies and rituals, including rites of passage, birth, death, marriage, worship and healing. They have also been featured on flags and coats of arms, while their techniques have been passed down through families for generations. What makes the hand drum unique is simple. While most percussive instruments are played with sticks, mallets and other objects, hand drums are struck by the hands of the drummer to produce their captivating sounds. By modifying the intensity of the drumming, or by drumming different areas of the surface, the drummer can change the sound, bringing vibrant life to such a simple yet versatile instrument. Originally hand drums were constructed out of wood or other materials that were common to the local environment, while the drum skin, or head, came from animals that were in the local's diet. This method has yielded a variety of drums with sounds distinctive to cultures from which they arose. Over the years hand drum construction has evolved to use more modern materials that allows for easier access, but their origins remain a wonderful piece of our shared history. Whether playing the hand drum as part of a collective or just around a campfire, keeping time as others sing along, you'll be adding your own personal stamp to a tradition that is as rich and storied as any we have seen.

My mom had just turned 17 when I was born, and there are a lot of girls younger than you having babies. No one has the right to judge you, or give you advice... because they do not have to live with the result of their "advice." From my perspective, yes having a young mom was difficult, but she did her best and now we are closer than ever. It was a struggle for her, being a single mom, but if you ask her she would not have changed that for the world (the mom part anyway). Now that I too am a mom, I whole heartedly respect and appreciate her decisions. After all, when I look at my own daughter it is like she has been with me and a part of me all along. We are a natural fit. One thing I would advise though is that if you decide that you want to be a mom, make sure that is your highest priority, and know going into any relationship that you are a package deal.posted 08/06/2008 by Auntie_Miss
You've received a lot of advice and support here - some of it may feel helpful and some of it not. Take out of these postings what feels good and supportive and use that; discard the rest. Trust your instincts and your judgement. I wish for you to feel peace someday about the past and to be able to forgive yourself and not feel shame. Remember, you did what you thought was best for yourself at the time, and that's okay. As for resources - local community counseling centers can help with this and keep asking and looking for help: it's out there! Best of luck to you!posted 08/08/2008 by counselor12mommy
First of all, I hope you will be using birth control after the delivery! I am 23 and have 2 children. I was only 16 when I was pregnant with my first, she is now 6 years old. Personally the best information I can give you is to move out of your mother's house. Work every hour that you can and get your self a place of your own! From there things will work themselves out and fall right into place. The only way you can start living for yourself is to make your own decisions. Don't get me wrong, it will be hard, but it can be done. I own my own home, two newer vehicles, just got my diploma a few months ago, work a full-time job at which I've been promoted, and have a wonderful fiance who also works a full-time job. Make a list of all the goals you would like to meet in your lifetime and cross them off as you accomplish them. That will help you to feel that you are getting somewhere and you won't abandon them! Please email me @ missmaggie_85@yahoo w/ any Q's.posted 08/06/2008 by missmaggie_85
I am 20 years old and i have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. She is the most wonderful thing in my life, it wasnt easy, i finished school with honors. Me and My boyfriend worked very hard and long hours to provide for our child. IT CAN BE DONE! the love of your child drives you to succeed and do what needs to be done. You sound like your pushing to keep this baby, so do whats best for you and your fiance and your child. Trust me, i was in the same situation..Your mom will come around. My mom now says theres nothing like being a grandma and she wouldnt trade her for anything in the world. I just found out im 3 months pregnant. Im scared, excited, but most of all confident i can make things work..EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON DEAR..if god handed you this miracle..dont take it for granted..cherish it!! god bless. hope all is well to you and your growing family!posted 07/02/2008 by mommy2heaven04
I had my daughter at 19. I married her father bacause I thought that is was the right thing to do. It turned out that my daughter was the best thing to ever happen to me and my husband was the worst. I was deployed overseas 7 months after my daughter was born and when I came home on leave 8 months later I found out that I had lost all custody and visitation of my child because my husband went to the court and said that I had abandoned them. It took me alwost 4 years to get her back. Fight tooth and nail to make sure that your baby gets 100% of YOU even if it seems like the rest of the world is out to make it hard on you. Have faith in yourself and when it feels like you just don't have the strength to go on anymore, tell yourself "One more day" And if you have to you keep telling yourself that every day you have to. Before you know it you will sitting with your beautiful baby on their day of HS graduation and asking yourself for "One more day" with your baby! Good luck and be strong!posted 05/29/2008 by Still Looking Good
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BLESSING THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN ONLY DREAM FOR!!!! of course its going to be hard but you are now an adult-you were when you did the deed now stand up to it and face it. the best thing you can do for your child is NOT to be a statistic and go on with your life. Your question is how do you follow your heart?? Do what your heart tells you-but remember one thing you have been blessed.......when you see the beautiful little angel looking up at you, you know have made the right choice.....good luck!!!!!posted 05/24/2008 by nypdmom
I'm 21 and i have 3 children. My daughter is almost 5 i was 16 when i had her. My parents weren't that supportive in the beginning. but once they realized i wasn't goin to give her up, they realized that i was going to need their help to do everything i could to be the best mother i could be to my daughter. they weren't always there for me when i was growin up, but they were my rock after i had her, even now i wouldn't be able to do it without them even with my fiance. But if you feel that you can't live without this child, then i feel you should have every right to raise him or her and give her a loving home,but if your just doing it to assert your control i'd rethink it and maybe find another couple to give him or her a loving home. But personally i see nothing wrong withbeing a young mom, and if your parents won't support you i suggest trying to find a mothers clubaround the town you live in. because it is alot of work. whatever u dececide i wish your the best of luckposted 04/15/2008 by thewildasinclan
Well, I'm 25 and just now getting on my own... If you want to move out of your mother's which sounds best, check out apts that go based on your income, and don't be ashamed to go to your local housing authority and signing up... everybody has to start from somewhere... Get with local churches and sese what help they can give and just stay prayed up and go to the churches that end up helping you. You'd be surprised at what a spiritual can seem to help your to and through. I'll pray for you and your family and just keep your head up, you'll be just fine... Being a mother w/o the stress from others is the best feeling. Don't let your mom get to you b/c while you are pregnant, it's too easy to become depressed and the meds they give you suck. So try to stay stress free and very loving while you are pregnant. The baby can detect a lot of what's going on out here so be very careful at what gets to you and how you handle it... trust me, I wish I was warned... tay blessed and welcome mommy!posted 04/13/2008 by lyricallysweet007
I was 19 and a freshman in college when I was pregnant with my son. There are so many things out there for low-income mothers. There is Medicaid. I'm not sure how states vary on their medicaid program, but ours (Louisiana) is very good. It paid 100% of my doctors visits and hospital stay. I was able to deliver at the best hospital in the state. I received the same care as any other mother. I also qualified for the WIC program. This program is a nutrition program. It pays for things like milk, eggs, cheese and the most expensive thing, formula. There is also a food stamp program too. Don't feel discouraged because of your income limitations, there are so many programs out there. Just make sure you take care of yourself and your baby. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. I am now 21, married, fulltime worker, full-time student through online courses, and pregnant with my 2nd child. I couldn't be happier with how my life turned out.posted 04/13/2008 by annabelle7412
You know what, if you want to keep the baby and think that you can do it with all your heart. then you can make it. I went to school where 12 year olds were getting pregnant. and that makes me sick. you are an adult and you can make the decision on your own if you want to keep it. I honestly am proud of you for wanting to stick it out. I am 23 and i am on my second. My son is 19 months old and we werent planning this babe but we are hoping for a girl. You are going to be a mom and you need to step it up and make your voice heard. otherwise people are going to be running you the way they think the baby should be raised. that is your baby and you need to do what is best for your baby. And as soon as the babys heart starts beating i would never have it terminated. But you are still young, but old enough to know what you have to do. i dont mean to sound preachy but its just opinion. I wish you the best of luck. and when you have your baby and hold him/her in your arms,its totally worth it.posted 04/15/2008 by angeleyedmom

Torture Roulette
The Obama administration has picked the worst possible case for its first torture trial.
Just last week, Sean Hannity asked Cheney whether the goal of the KSM trial was, in part "to put our CIA on trial? To put you on trial? To put President Bush on trial?" Cheney responded, "It could be. It could be that Holder expects to be able to use this to go back and sort of review in depth the Bush-Cheney administration policies in terms of what we did to prevent attacks against the United States."
Then again this morning, Hannity reprised that line of questioning in an interview with Giuliani: "Do you think as I do, and we brought this up earlier in the week with former Vice President Cheney, do you think this is about putting George Bush on trial? Putting Guantanamo Bay on trial? Putting the vice president on trial? Putting the United States on trial—enhanced interrogations?" Giuliani replied that "[t]he defense will be putting the government on trial for their unfair methods, for alleged torture. I mean, I don't think a lot of it is torture, but they will allege that it is torture. Of course, a lot of it will be exaggerated. A lot of it will be lies. A lot of it will be fictitious. And it will focus attention on what allegedly America did wrong as opposed to the horrible acts of terrorism that were perpetrated on innocent New Yorkers."
Hannity, Cheney, and Giuliani are probably right about this. The Obama administration continues to sit on the report out of the Office of Professional Responsibility on whether Bush DoJ lawyers violated their professional ethics by approving torture. It continues to block every torture suit even before it starts and to limit torture investigations and hamper the release of torture information. In doing all that it almost ensures that America will have its first opportunity to debate the legality of torture in the least attractive forum imaginable: the criminal trial of a man most of us would kind of like to torture ourselves.
The Obama administration wants to turn the page on torture. Move on. Forgive and forget. Got it. I saw Invictus too. But the torture and even murder of U.S. prisoners on our watch has already bled through onto the next page. And the page after that one. If it's true that prisoner torture claims just aren't going away, the administration should think very hard about where they ought to be litigated.
The Obama administration says it deplores the use of torture, that torture is illegal. Period. But even as it refuses to let the courts address the torture perpetrated by the Bush administration in every other context, it's about to launch a major criminal trial for the man who is a walking commercial for the proposition that the benefits of torture may sometimes outweigh the costs. The administration has now made it impossible to test the legality of torture in the case of Maher Arar—a man who was plainly innocent—or in the case of the four British Guantanamo detainees. We can't look at torture as framed by John Yoo's legal advice. So instead, as Hannity explained this morning, the headlines in the KSM case will be, "Khalid Sheikh Mohammed accuses the U.S. of waterboarding me 180 times." And, as Cheney pointed out last week, many if not most Americans will respond by saying "Hey! Why not 181?" There won't be any other headlines to compete.
KSM is a monster. Nobody disputes that he was central to the planning and execution of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. If the trial of a man who was instrumental in killing thousands of innocent Americans becomes the sole forum in which the legality of prisoner abuse is to be litigated, public sentiment in favor of torture will only grow stronger. As David Feige argued recently in Slate, the KSM trial is poised to make a lot of bad new law as a result of the pressure to convict. But the most appalling result might well be a judicial determination followed by widespread public acceptance that torturing KSM wasn't that bad. The Obama administration will have been instrumental in selling the public on future torture in a way that is even more distressing than its recent efforts to immunize the torturers themselves.
Had Holder allowed the various other torture trials to go forward, some of the litigants would prevail and others would lose. We would end up with a fuller picture of the rendition program, CIA abuses, and the legal advice that allowed for water-boarding. We would have a set of courts piecing together a consensus on what the anti-torture statutes require and whether anyone has violated them. Instead, the KSM trial is about to become the only torture game in town. And it's a game the Obama administration cannot win.

Change and Continuity among Women State Legislators: Evidence from Three Decades
Dolan, Kathleen, Ford, Lynne E, Political Research Quarterly
Previous literature documents the steady increase in the number of women serving in state legislatures as well as the lingering differences in demographic characteristics and policy priorities between male and female officeholders. Yet, this research does not address the question of evolutionary change among women state legislators themselves. Are women serving in contemporary state legislatures different from their female colleagues of previous decades in the personal and political characteristics and legislative agendas they bring to office?
To answer this question, we use data collected on all women state legislators serving in 15 states in 1972, 1982, and 1992 and a stratified random sample of male legislators serving in the same chambers during the same time periods. This two-stage analysis allows us first to focus on the changing profile of women state legislators; and secondly, to consider whether these changes are unique to women or common to all state legislators. The analyses confirm the hypothesis that the profile of the "typical woman state legislator" has changed significantly in the last three decades.
Women's progress in gaining elected office at all levels of government has been rather slow over the last three decades. Women currently hold 22 percent of statewide elective executive offices, 19 percent of all local offices, and just under 11 percent of congressional seats. Yet nowhere have the gains made by women been more dramatic, or better documented, than in state legislatures. In 1970, women held just 4 percent of all state legislative seats, while today women hold 20.7 percent of those seats nationwide (Center for the American Woman and Politics 1995). The 1992 election ushered in the largest single group of newly elected women of any election in United States history. Many of these women won their seats having never before held public office, signaling a challenge to the conventional wisdom that there are historically prescribed characteristics for successful women officeholders. Our purpose in this research is to examine the typical profile of women state legislators over the three decades in which women made the greatest electoral gains and to examine whether an increase in the number of women elected to legislative posts has been accompanied by a change in the type of women serving. Are women serving in contemporary state legislatures significantly different from their female colleagues of previous eras?
Since Emmy Werner (1968) first considered the characteristics of women legislators, theoretical and practical explanations for women's underrepresentation in legislative bodies have centered around family obligations and gender role conflict (Kirkpatrick 1974; Stoper 1977; Sapiro 1982), electoral structures that favor males (Carroll 1985; Darcy, Welch, and Clark 1994), background characteristics of male and female candidates (Diamond 1977; Thomas and Welch 1991; Thomas 1991), political culture variables in the states (Hill 1981; Pierce 1989), and party recruitment biases (Fowlkes, Perkins, and Rinehart 1979; Mandel 1981; Nechemias 1985, 1987). The profile of the female legislator emerging from this important body of work is that she was apt to be less educated and older than her male colleagues and more likely to be motivated to seek public office by civic concerns and the desire to make life better for others. She was unlikely to have been tapped for the seat by her local party elites (even though she may have worked for years within the party ranks), and have little expressed desire to pursue higher office or a full-time career in politics.
