1. really not that lame to me
2. Kyle made my day, and a nice come back from Jessica
Nair is dangerous stuff. It completely destroyed my legs the one time I tried it. I can't imagine the damage it'd do to more sensitive areas! I would probably get along with Blake's uncle though.
Elli Mac July 12th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
1. Not such much lame…just makes me a little sad.
2. Meh.
3. I accidentally got Nair on a sensitive part once. Jesus laughed at my stupidity…and my tears. -
nomnomnom July 12th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
First one isn't lame at all. The kid could very well be a sibling she took shopping with her.
First one isn't lame… so she has a kid. Obviously she stayed in school if she's going to prom, and she takes her son out shopping instead of dumping him off on someone else. Nice dress, too.
FuckMustard July 12th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Even if the kid is hers, who cares I say good for her for finishing highschool anyways.
whoever submitted the first one is lame.
enjoy your prom nichole!
byce_pryah July 12th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Hey, as long as there's 'lame' in their somewhere, it belongs on the site.
Nichole honey, please dont choose the sparkly coral pink frou frou dress.
Carrie wore a coral pink dress to her prom, and we all know how that turned out….
FHsGirl July 12th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
The only weird things about the first one is the kid is sitting up really straight to where it's like he has no neck and he has one pant leg rolled up….
Douchetastic July 12th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
The kid can be a sibling, someone she's babysitting, a nephew who's with her and her sister shopping, etc. The dress, however, is fugly.
byce_pryah July 12th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
I'm sure that dress would look great crumpled into a ball on my floor with her nekkid on my bed. Just sayin'.
krasivaya_devushka July 12th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
hahaha @ blake!!
glitterandtrauma July 12th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
I have never used nair although I have used veet which is the same sort of thing. It's fine on your legs but leaves a few stray hairs sometimes but really do not use it on more sensitive areas. It hurts like a bitch and can ruin your weekend.
Kyle hahaha
ijkl0marissa July 12th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
OMG There's a teenage girl with a small child in the background while she's taking pictures! How lame! T
here's a couple of these which are funny, lame or sad (such as when the teenager or especially if it's not a teenager is trying to take sexxxxyyy pictures of themselves and their child is in the background) but taking a picture with your child in it isn't lame.
But mainly, it's not lame and is just repetitive and boring.
/end rant -
I think Jessica may have a serious skin problem. Either that or she's Smurfette, but then I don't think she'd have much trouble staying in a relationship given the gender balance of that community.
YAY for Blake.
Now he can sun tan where the sun don't shine
BucketOfScuzz July 12th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Teo I think staying in a relationship has to be the hardest thing to do in that community… 1 smurfette for thousands of smurfs? Talk about competition…
Shipoopi July 12th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Nair is very very dangerous stuff, got a bad chemical burn from it once. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use it, but just be wary, and try a small area first.
Man, these comments pages seem so much cleaner and easier to browse now
That's a good point…one forgotten anniversary and it's on to the next Smurf in line.
shtick July 12th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
If she's going to her senior prom, she's too young to be having kids. So it's lame alright.
NormanEinstein July 12th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
If I were 25 years younger, I'd take the girl in #1 to prom.
krasivaya_devushka July 12th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I tried Nair once, too, and yeah…it was horrible!
iloveyoink July 12th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Obviously all teenagers are whores who make babies in highschool. They totally don't have older siblings with children or much younger siblings. Obviously this picture means that ~MY GENERATION IS GOING TO HELL LOL~.
philTmonx July 12th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
nair=swore my girl had pissed in my shower.. that chit smells disgusting.. amonia death.
headface July 12th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
I wish I had an uncle like Blake's
One of my friends got drunk, waxed her bikini line, and naired the left-overs… haha she couldn't wear underwear for a week…
knobjockey July 12th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Why is Jessica's relationship update from 5 minutes ago, but Jennifer and Kyle made comments more than 5 minutes ago? Photoshopped?
FuckMustard July 12th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
shtick- actually you can be old enough to have a kid and go to prom it happens all the time, there are many possible reasons like maybe she didnt finish highschool on time for some reason. So really the only thing that is lame here is you. Also so what if it is her kid and she is 18, shit happens and you have to make the best of it, good for her and getting her schooling done.
That is my rant sorry everyone.
FuckMustard July 12th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Good point knobjockey, I didn't even notice the times on the post.
MsBuzzkillington July 12th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Yeah, those timestamps are way off. Weird.
I have used nair before. Didn't have a problem on my legs. I was young and dumb so I tried it on my arms, stuff burned me bad. But it was weird because it looked like I had 100 scratches all over my arms.
AestheticWaif July 12th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
@Buzz, babe, where it says 'scrape off gently' it doesn't mean 'with razor blades'…
@msbuzz – thats what it did to my legs. It's like it turned my hair into little acid knives that cut slices ALL OVER my legs. Then all the tiny slices scabbed over – it was somewhat traumatic. Lesson learned: DON'T use Nair if you have sensitive skin!!
Mikefu July 12th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I'd imagine that it would be her child. I mean, the person who submitted it most likely knew her unless her profile wasn't private; so they really should have known if she was a mother or not.
Like most people said though, at least she's still in school and it looks like she's taking care of her baby, whereas some of the mums that get submitted to this site (teenage and otherwise) make me weep for their child's future.
Plus, it's a nice dress.
MasterProp July 12th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Yeah, first one isn't lame. My mom had me in high school – the only thing that means, is that 1. she didn't have an abortion (yay for me), and 2. she got her diploma (yay for her). I respect her more for having a child, staying in school, and not dumping the kid off with her parents and acting like she doesn't have a kid. So, kudos to her, and boo to Lamebook for trying to ostrasize someone whom probably gets enough shit already as it is.
2nd one is OK.
3rd one… who *hasn't* tried Nair where they shouldn't? Either through hope of getting rid of unwanted hair, or as a dare, I think everyone has tried it at least once, yes?
MasterProp July 12th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
PS Nair + taint = agony
W00kie July 12th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
PS Nair + nipnips = fuck Nair.
HeSaidWhat July 12th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
I have a Nair story…But this post isn't labeled NSFW.
Yoinks_Father July 13th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Would everyone please stop kissing worpervert's ass cheeks…
I am sick and tried or reading "thanks word for coming back"… -
I do love the album title in the 1st one. It so perfectly encapsulates the photo.
Using Nair is just like playing the guitar. You have to build up callouses. I used to be like a Wookie doll, but now I'm Ken doll all the way.
dad, mom's locked up again, needs bail.
waiter, there's no hair in my soup
Yoinks_Father July 13th, 2010 at 1:24 am
I told that bitch not to sell drugs close to police line…
Now we don't have a choice but to mortgage our prized dildo collection to make bail… Damn! I had so many plans for the new anal prober this weekend. -
dad! i've been using those instead of legos. buy me some fucking toys!
Yoinks_Father July 13th, 2010 at 2:16 am
Son, if you want toys then I guess you too have to do what I did when I was your age and really wanted that Marlyn Monroe doll. I serviced the old ladies in our block… Couple of times I had to oblige the priest as well but hey, trust me, it hurts way less when you keep picturing the Lincoln on the crispy $5 note…
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 2:29 am
Stop defending teenaged whores who get pregnant in high school. Yes, it's great that she's finishing, but that doesn't excuse her mistake. That's like saying "Oh yeah, he was so drunk that he totaled his car in a crash that killed a small child. But he's in rehab now, so good for him." See, that doesn't undo what he already did.
So it's not okay just because she's finishing high school. For all we know, her grades are shit, and she leave her kid at home with her parents all the time while she goes out and socializes! If I'd had a kid at that age, I would never have seen my friends again. In fact, I'm pretty sure my parents would have made sure I never saw the light of day.
The point is to be responsible BEFORE you make the mistake. THAT is where it counts. Being responsible AFTER you make a mistake is not a magical mistake eraser. You still did something bad! I do not wish you a happy prom! In fact, you should be taking care of your kid, not going to prom and then having more premarital sex afterwards! YOU LOSE!
/end rant
that is an awful analogy
Yoinks_Father July 13th, 2010 at 3:18 am
@muepsilongamma, is that experience speaking?
yeah, just so we're clear, you're equating bringing a child into this world with removing one from it?
i mean, my father's done both. but i don't think they're really the same thing
@muepsilongamma… luckily, most teenaged parents still have a chance to learn and grow, and hopefully make smarter choices as they mature…
you, on the other hand, are destined to be a kunt forever.
@49… luckily, most teenaged parents can go back to school and continue to grow, making smarter choices as they mature and learn from their mistakes…
you, on the other hand, are destined to be an arsehole forever.
BritishHobo July 13th, 2010 at 8:05 am
God damn it, YOINK beat me to making a funny comment. World's gone upside down…
Walter Sobchak July 13th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I find it hard to believe that some people don't think there is anything unusual about a girl bringing her young son with he to try on prom dresses.
djenna8girl, that's the new "choose your own adventure" commenting style, right? those are my favorites! i choose – "arsehole!"
ah, dammit, i'm in locked in the dungeon, again.
i suck at these things.
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
I love how everyone jumps down my throat just because I'm conservative. I have different beliefs than you so all of a sudden I'm a "kunt" and an "arsehole." No I do not speak from experience in this. I never had a child in high school because, well, I was smart. But don't tell me that you think what I said was incorrect. It's true, you can't undo the mistakes you make. Murderers and rapists don't get out of jail time because they say "I'm sorry." And don't use the "you're equating teen pregnancy with murder" argument because it doesn't work. A wrongdoing is a wrongdoing no matter how big it is. Again, no judge will say "oh, but you only killed one person, so I'll let you off with a warning this time."
you are making an obvious mistake. no-one should be jumping down your throat for your views. however – killing someone is objectively wrong, as it goes against any sane kind of morality we have on earth. however, having a child at, say, 17, isn't objectively wrong – it is only subjectively wrong. you think it's wrong, but some others may not. therefore it's wrong for you to say having a child as a teenager is 'a wrongdoing'. you simply can't say that!
killing a small child is wrong in anyone's book. having a small child aged 17 isn't. it may be to you, but not everyone. and there's nothing inherently 'wrong', or 'evil' about it – that's just the sociological spin we tend to append to it nowadays.
i'm sure in biblical times it was reprehensible to NOT have had a child at 17. times change.
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
In biblical times, those who had children out of wedlock were stoned in the streets. Save for Mary, of course. That's the real issue here. This girl probably isn't married, if that is her child in the picture.
but that's then. that was before we had what's known as a 'secular' state. we don't do things like that anymore, because we realised a good couple of centuries ago that morality is relative. you might dislike something that i don't mind, and vice-versa. i don't mind people having different mindsets – 'if everyone liked apples, nobody would buy pears'. but what you're saying isn't right – you can say 'i think it's wrong', but you can't simply say 'it's wrong.'
pragmatism has brought us cures for all types of diseases, the realisation that the world is round, acceptance, reunification, all sorts of things.
dogmatism has brought us stoning, genocide, racial intolerance etc.
don't be dogmatic, and you'll be a better person for it.
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I suppose I should have specified that I was merely stating my opinion, but it doesn't seem like enough given the subject matter. When a teen becomes a mother, she is not the only one affected. Her child is affected, the child's father is affected, her parents are affected, his parents are affected, her friends are affected, his friends are affected, and everyone who pays taxes to support that child is affected. Does all this disruption of other peoples' lives not make it wrong?
my first ever girlfriend (and the only girl i've ever loved) was born when her mother was 20 and unemployed, and not married. her dad left when she was two. her mum is great, and would do anything for her.
she has won awards for acting, got the highest first in her year at university, and is shortlisted for a fullbright scholarship to go and study in the usa.
i'm pretty glad she was born!
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
I don't really know what that has to do with what I said, but I guess I'll tell a story too.
The very first friend I ever had (we met in second grade) was born when her mother was 18 and unmarried. Her parents freaked out and got married (dropping out of school), despite not loving each other, and remained in their unhappy marriage until my best friend turned 18. They told her this story, that they stayed miserable because of her. My dear, innocent friend promptly started finding men on the internet and began sleeping around.
Now, her parents are divorced, she lives with her boyfriend, they both cheat on each other, neither of them has a job or a car or money, neither has gone to college, and they have both shut their friends out of their lives completely.
Did I mention she's pregnant?
Your first girlfriend is a very fortunate exception to the norms. Despite being born out of wedlock, she is very successful and – one can only hope – has no intention of making the same mistake her mother did. But look at what happened to my friend. Teen pregnancy can hurt a lot of people. I wish I knew the story of the girl in the picture, and pray that she is another success story. -
but the fact that there ARE exceptions (even if they're rare), show that you can't just apply a blanket statement to something like that…
your friend sounds like she's in a bit of a mess! :-s her life sounds like a raymond carver story! if you ask me (honestly), it's nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism – it's the 'quick-fix' society – computer games, internet, 24 hour drive-thrus, prescription meds – that's the problem. people have no patience, and use superficial, material things to fill a hole in their lives.
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
The only reason I applied a blanket statement was because I've never met a success story. I guess the town I grew up in most certainly isn't the town to be looking for success stories in, though. But I guess you are right; my friend immediately turned to the internet and a whole bunch of sex because she wanted to replace the love that she thought her parents had taken away. I do miss the innocent, successful, intelligent person she used to be.
thoreau said that instead of 'going about doing good' we should 'set about being good'. that instead of preaching this or that value, just be good, and centred in yourself (whatever your beliefs may be), and your 'goodness' will just rub off on people. you sound like a nice person. perhaps your friend could do with going for a coffee sometime. sounds like she needs someone to talk to, who'll not pass judgment, but just be there and listen.
muepsilongamma July 13th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Sadly, my friend has been avoiding me, along with all of her friends. She claims to never have time for her friends anymore. I try to ask her to do something, but her excuse is always the same. "I'm with my bf now. Maybe another time." But there's never been another time.
But thank you for taking the effort to see the person behind the troll. You seem very nice too, and far more intelligent than I.
krasivaya_devushka July 13th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I'm with muepsilongamma on this whole teen pregnancy issue.
okay, only one person really jumped down muepsilongamma's throat.
and i'm still confused.how exactly are creation of life and termination of life equal? i could maybe see the drunk driver killing a small child argument making sense if the girl in question chose to have an abortion.
if i get knocked up, realize i've made a mistake, and choose (instead of taking the easy way out) to raise my child and work toward giving us both a better life, how does that automatically make me a bad person?
haandvine July 14th, 2010 at 2:22 am
ah crap, didn't mean to log in under that name again.
haandvine July 14th, 2010 at 2:24 am
i'm not trying to be difficult, understand. i am just curious as to how anyone believes those two things equal, morally or otherwise.
krasi, don't worry, i don't have any kids…
muepsilongamma July 14th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
I know nobody will buy this as an argument, but in my religion, all sins are equal. Therefore, I believe that fornication and murder are equally bad and should receive the same punishment. That is what my religion teaches.
haandvine July 14th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
you believe an unwed teenage mother should be shown to the same cell as a child molester?
fair enough.
muepsilongamma July 15th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
haandvine, I believe that fornicators and child-molestors will go to the same hell. Don't bash my religion.
bluephoenix70 July 17th, 2010 at 8:54 am
I would like to apologize on behalf of all Christians for the way muepsilongamma is speaking. As Christians we are taught to not judge others. We are to love them the way Christ loves us. While I do not agree with sex outside of marriage, I will not condemn a girl who has made some mistakes. She could use prayer and encouragement, not someone looking down on her. She is after all, only human.
bobbit July 17th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
theres another point that nobody's mentioned muepsilongamma – if that IS her child, you dont know it's circumstances at all. you don't know that she's not married, for gods sake, and for all you know she was raped. instead of getting an abortion she chose to have a child and try to carry on with her life, but you would see a picture of her with a child and condemn her to hell. whatever religion you are, youre not making it look too good. hitler gets the same punishment in the afterlife as somebody who swears or drinks alcohol? and you seem to be saying that once you've committed a sin, that's that, there's nothing you can do, and a girl who sleeps with somebody outside of marriage at 17 will pay for it when she dies 50 years later, no matter how much good she's done since?
and by the way this isn't bashing your religion – i dont know what it is and frankly I don't care.
bobbit July 17th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
by the way, you say that fornicators and child molesters will receive the same punishment. just as well i suppose, considering a victim of child molestation is unlikely to be a virgin
Saffer July 18th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Did anybody else witness that momment between Muepsil and Alord? That was beautiful
muepsilongamma July 18th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Look, I'm not asking you people to agree with what my religion teaches, but yes, once you commit a sin, that's it. You're doomed. But I'm not going to go on for hours explaining my religion to you people because I don't have to. I believe what I believe and shame on you people for poking fun and tormenting me.
And bobbit, regarding your second comment… wow. That's about as low as it gets. My religion does NOT say that victims of child molestation are guilty of fornication and you know it. I'm shocked at your rudeness toward me and my beliefs. Despite what you said, you ARE bashing my religion, and you are well aware of it.
You people are doing to me what you did to dan_fargis. Finally, someone comes and talks some sense in this site and you tear him down just because he has different beliefs than you. Now, you're doing the same to me. It's a pity, how hateful liberals can be toward conservatives, how hateful those who don't practice a religion can be toward the religious. -sigh-
Saffer July 18th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
So it's OK for you to bash other people's life choices that you don't agree with ("… In fact, you should be taking care of your kid, not going to prom and then having more premarital sex afterwards! YOU LOSE!") but it's not OK for people to bash your life choices (your religion) that they don't agree with. Who are you, god? damn hypocrite.
I hope somebody sticks up for you one day when you make a mistake and not condemn you for it, maybe then you'll understand what Christianity is really about
muepsilongamma July 19th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Don't assume that I'm "christian."
I was not "bashing," I was right. If you have a child, your job is to take care of it, not go to prom.
So far, everything I've done is according to my religion. I do not live an immoral life. No one can condemn me because I have done nothing wrong. And for those times I have made mistakes, I did what I'm supposed to do in order to ensure that I am still saved. I don't know if the girl in the picture does or not, but judging by that revealing dress, probably not.
You are going about making your statement of belief in a most tragic way. Let me just take a few quotes here to show you the paradoxical or perhaps oxymoronical nature of some of your comments:
"I was not "bashing", I was right. If you have a child, your job is to take care of it, not go to prom."
Or both, of course.
You may believe that. You may be willing to practice that (I am not saying you would end up in that situation, merely that you would follow through on your beliefs to the hilt and letter). But it is not fact. Belief will never, ever be fact. People will take offence when your phrasing causes them to feel put upon. Allow me to explain. I often find it discriminatory in the opposite fashion to the norm: how those with a religion find everyone without religion (or fixed religion which can be named) completely without moral boundaries. If someones morals do not conform with your own, and they act within them, and they, for instance, live in (theoretically) a family unit or with a sweetheart and they choose to have a child together at a young age they do not automatically deserve your condemnation to the depths of hell for all eternity and people are easily offended when they feel someone is calling them a bad person. People with one of the common religions tend to have an aura of condescension, not just because they do not approve of your lifestyle, but because they have a firmly rooted belief that their lifestyle is "better" than others.You also say that once a mistake is made you will be punished for it, no matter how you try to absolve yourself, and then go on to say "…the times I have made mistakes, I did what I'm supposed to do in order to ensure that I am still saved."
This is a hypocritical statement. See above paragraph.Everything anyone does has a shockwave of effect on those surrounding them. I personally do not know this girl or the child (whom everyone is pre-supposing to be hers) and I certainly do not believe in absolving yourself of responsibility. The person you are defines how you live. If you are born to a set of crude, rude, loosely moraled (sp?) people I admit you are hampered but you make your own choices. An extreme example: people who are in the pits of depression and struggle to recover, versus people in the pits of depression who fold and commit suicide.
In personal experience terms; I lived with a man who took a great deal of narcotics and who was a heavy drinker. He was crass, pessimistic, and had a hard life behind him with deeply troubled pockets. I lived with this man for 2 years and I never touched drugs, I drank seldom and little when I did, and though I dipped into negative thought I came out the other end. I also happen to know a friend who became pregnant during college (that would be 18-ish over here in UK) and had a baby, has a full-time job and a partner who works part time, a house, a car (quite a nice car) and a lot of security that even I, a childless, qualified, living-with-partner worker do not have. She is not married. My belief is that WHO you are makes you. And that every choice is your own. This girl has not sinned in my eyes, and this is what scares me: the ease at which you can judge someone without ever having met them. All you need to see is their circumstance and already you have pursed lips and narrowed eyes and views to these people being somehow wrong. I'm afraid that logic dictates you would need to know more about her before you judge. Too quick to condemn.As for buying a dress, going to prom, your statement is harsh. Any parent, young or old, needs time to themselves. Again, I don't know this girl, but I won't automatically assume the worst. And shopping with (possibly) her baby doesn't seem like a terrible thing to me. Prom is an event, staffed and watched over. It is not a new sexy dress for going nightclubbing, it's a girl buying a frankly ugly but quite covering dress and enjoying a very influential night in her life. Parents are still people, with needs just like everyone else. If you are to set an example for your children to live by I would rather they be happy, content, and doing their ""own thing" by parenting, than be at home every night and weekends too looking over a childs shoulder all the time missing social aspects of their life that in the modern age they have no reason to miss out on, so that they looked "right". Balance is key. I intend to have children at a later point in my life (I am sadly unable to birth myself so it will be an adoption) and I fully expect to live a life shared with others because I want to be happy and show my offspring that you can have responsibility and happiness and experience all in one life. I will be going out on the -occasional- weekend and enjoying meals and drinks with long time friends regardless of how many children I have, and this girl presumably won't even be drinking (publicly at any rate).
I am sorry if I generalised you with the relgious points but you did make it very clear that that was what this was about, and I'm not sure what religion you are or what your beliefs specify but organised religion and it's power in this world frankly frightens me. (The real issue here being that she may have had the baby that may be hers out of wedlock. This is a religious issue, correct?).
muepsilongamma July 19th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Since you were so kind to me, I am going to go all out here. Brutal honesty. Hiding nothing.
I do not believe that everyone without a religion has no morals. Simply the ones I knew — they had no morals. It bothered me to see people who had such little respect for themselves. Further, no one in high school (yes, I said "no one") would choose to have a child with their partner. Most teen pregnancies are accidental. They were not planned. They're the kind where the girl cries upon seeing the positive pregnancy test, rather than leaping for joy.
Actually, what I said was, once you commit a sin, that's it. You're doomed. I didn't say "no matter how you try to absolve yourself." Because there is, in fact, a way to absolve yourself. This is all explained in the holy book of my religion, and I said that I wasn't going to explain for hours because, well, it would have taken hours. So there was no hypocrisy, there was simply a lack of a mile-long explanation.
It is very fortunate that you didn't fall into the same pit that your partner fell into. Sadly, I was not so lucky. My mother, like you, was surrounded by people who drank and smoked and used drugs heavily. They got into a lot of fights, several of them have been in jail, didn't go to college, work at walmart, are very poor, and as icing on the cake, they all had children out of wedlock, who then had children out of wedlock. My mother was the only "not messed-up" person to come out of that family. To this day, my mother and father always make a point of telling me, at every given opportunity, that people like that are stupid, uneducated, bad people. They tell me that those people are worthless lowlifes. Sometimes, when I go to the mall or the grocery store or restaurants with my parents, we look around at the other people there. My parents will point out certain people and make judgements, jokes, and other remarks. After a couple of years, I caught on and joined in. It made them very proud to have such a "good girl" for a child. I always loved to make them proud, because it was very, very hard to do.
I am not a mean spirited-person, and neither are my parents. I am simply preaching what I've been taught. Every time I saw someone at my school who looked like someone my parents would have pointed out, especially the teen parents, the first thing I heard was my parents' voices in my head, making their jokes. And I believe every word my parents said.
So yes, religion is a factor in this argument, but so is what I was taught by my parents. But I don't blame them. They are entitled to believe what they want. I was raised as a good girl. It was a struggle, but I rarely disappointed them, and I made sure to never become one of the people my parents would have pointed out.
I do not mean to be condescending. I do not mean to offend people. This is something I have done all my life, but when my family did it, the people never knew what we were doing, so there was no fear of retaliation, or of offending people. I will not apologize for my dear parents' way of life, but I will apologize for not attempting to improve mine. I suppose acting like a compassionate member of today's society is far more important than impressing my parents, and I suppose there is a way to be just that, and still be a "good girl."
I'm a little late, but I'm going to make my point anyway:
The only 100% effective form of contraception is abstinence. I honestly don't blame someone who is seventeen or eighteen for having sex, and so I understand that accidents can happen – not accidents where someone is irresponsible, but accidents where contraception has failed. I think it's pretty immature to jump to conclusions like "teen parent? She must be a whore!" Just sayin'.
Also, what the hell? Since when is a V-neck dress that shows a tiny bit of cleavage revealing? People wear far more revealing clothes on a day-to-day basis.
mad2physicist July 20th, 2010 at 2:41 am
Azarf, sadly, as Mary discovered, abstinence is not quite 100% effective. It does seem to have an almost perfect record though.
muepsilongamma, let me jump on a limb here and assume you're a Christian or a moslem. And based on the way you discuss Mary, I'll assume you're a Christian. So am I. But wow, your parents and you sound like judgmental freaks. Making fun of people for their moral choices? What happened to 'judge not?' Frankly, with people like you arguing for Christianity, the devil doesn't need to bother looking for detractors of it! Has it never occurred to you that when Jesus said that whores and thieving tax collectors go into heaven before the Pharisees that he meant this girl gets into heaven before your judgmental parents?
And are you seriously recommending the stoning of fornicators? Why don't you go and bless baby-killers while you are at it? And yes that is in the Bible. Somewhere in the later psalms: 'Blessed are those who dash your infants' brains out on a stone,' or something along those lines.
And you're right, your religion doesn't teach that victims of rape are guilty of sex. Instead (unless you are Eastern Orthodox and follow the opinions of Fr. Romanides) it teaches that they're guilty of the fact that _someone else ate a piece of fruit_. That doesn't even make any SENSE. Thank God such idiocy only entered the mainstream interpretation of St. Paul with Augustine's lunacy, and then only in the West (I have only seen it referenced in St. Cyprian of Carthage before Augustine's time, and in fact even after Augustine, the view was denounced by St. Cyril of Alexandria, who presided over the 3rd Ecumenical Council, when he pronounced on the question of the Fall of Humankind; the view was never even countenanced in the East, until a few hundred years ago in Russia when it crept in from the Roman Church).
Plus, I don't know why you're so concerned that she pay for her mistakes now, since you believe that all her mistakes deserve an infinite amount of never-ending torture. How about trying to help her to mitigate the suffering she has to undergo for her mistakes? What happened to 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?' If you made a mistake do you really want all of society to give you a giant middle finger and leave you alone? Or would you want them to help you out?
Let this poor girl have at least one night to wear a dress and feel pretty. You think married couples should never have their kids babysat so that they can go out?
Now I agree with you that sexual relations outside marriage are wrong. But not everyone agrees with me on this. And frankly without the metaphysical assumptions I make, I wouldn't draw this conclusion. So I don't argue with people over it. And I'm sure not going to try to make other people obey it. And if they need help dealing with their mistakes I try to forgive them and help them. Not make them the butt of family jokes and leave them to rot as your family seems to do.
Look at your words and ask yourself if you see Christ, or if you see the devils of the Pharisees. -
"Azarf, sadly, as Mary discovered, abstinence is not quite 100% effective. It does seem to have an almost perfect record though."
I'm not meaning to be pedantic, and I agree with almost everything that you said, but I'm not a Christian and I don't believe that Jesus was immaculately conceived by Mary so to me, abstinence is 100% effective. I'm not meaning to disrespect your beliefs – I just thought that should be clarified.
lattice July 20th, 2010 at 11:43 am
why in god's fucking name are you guys arguing about religion on LAMEBOOK.COM
muepsilongamma July 20th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I am catholic. Yeah, you could say that's christian but I think it's very different. We hold on to the very important traditions that other denominations have done away with to make christianity more "hip."
Quite frankly, I don't think it's society's job to help me when I make a mistake. When I mess up, I have to fix it. Nobody else can do that but me. If i'd had a child as a teen, I would have deserved the giant middle finger for all the lives I would have ruined.
"Let this poor girl have one night to wear a dress and feel pretty."
First of all, "poor girl?" So now she's a victim for being irresponsible? I'm sure she'll learn her lesson now. Second of all, I'm sure she gets to feel pretty every time a guy is willing to touch her perfect body. And of course married couples can hire a sitter and go out together, but this girl is NOT married.My parents are not judgemental freaks. Sure, they can be quick to judge, but they are not freaks. They were only trying to teach their children good morals, and it worked. I have an excellent moral standing, and they never doubted me for a second.
iowa girl July 20th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
and being as long winded and bitchy as you are…you never had to worry about getting knocked up young. No one would touch you.
IT'S A COMMENT THREAD….GET OVER YOURSELF for fucks sake
Muepsilongamma, shut up. Please. You've disregarded everything that everyone else has to say and contributed nothing new to this conversation. Frankly, I don't care what you have to say anymore.
Don't make assumptions about someone you don't know. You don't know this girl's circumstances. Don't call her a whore or irresponsible. As far as I know, Catholicism is kind of against judging others.
Please stop talking about your religion like everything it preaches is fact. I don't care if you think that it's so – throughout life, you're going to come across people who don't, and you need to get used to it.
This whole argument is so stupid. If you want to be a bigot, don't do it on lamebook.com.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10"NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR FORNICATION, BUT FOR THE LORD; AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY. FLEE FORNICATION! EVERY SIN THAT A MAN DOETH IS WITHOUT THE BODY; BUT HE THAT COMMITTETH FORNICATION SINNETH AGAINST HIS OWN BODY."

Funny how you conveniently forget about all of this when you're talking about how wonderful and full of morals your religion is.

It is weird, though…in my religion, people with the name muepsilongamma, who go onto public forums and direct their beliefs at others as though they were sent directly from God to do His bidding for that purpose…well, they're the ones that go to hell.
What a world.
xopher July 21st, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Doesn't this site have ANY moderators? Why is this idiot troll being allowed to cut-and-paste long all-caps Bible verses?
Why are you all arguing with the troll? Don't you know that's just what they live for, having no other life?
And here's what I don't get: why is (nearly) everyone assuming that the child is hers? Someone upthread pointed out that the child could be a younger sibling, a cousin, a niece or nephew.
Everyone here, especially μεγ, is assuming the girl in the picture isn't married. You don't know anything about her life. She could have dropped out of high school to care for an ailing parent, met a man, married "lawfully" in the church, had a baby, and gone back to school. Maybe she's taking the baby shopping to save up babysitting money so she can go to prom.
I suspect the troll is rather young, from internal evidence. Let's hope she ('μεγ' spells "meg") outgrows her tendency to judge others based on no evidence at all.
xopher July 21st, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Incidentally, I'm a sorcerer, an idolater, and a fornicator (not lately, alas). That means I'm certainly going to hell in μεγ's religion. Which is fine, because if her God is really, you know, GOD, I wouldn't be in heaven with such an evil deity anyway.

xopher July 21st, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Ah. Revising opinion: μεγ is just a garden-variety shithead troll. Probably not even a Christian, much less a Catholic. I suspected she was fake from the fact that she implied that Catholics aren't "really" Christians, something no Catholic would say; to them, the Roman Catholic Church is Jesus' own Church, which makes them the ONLY "real" Christians.
lazybeans July 22nd, 2010 at 1:15 am
I was surprised at how this comment thread got on this wild tangent. So a teenaged girl has a kid, big deal. It may not even be hers!
AS A CATHOLIC (we believe in Christ = Christian), I know not to be judgemental. Sure, premarital sex is bad, but it does happen. We're only human, and the good thing is that she at least took responsibility for him/her and didn't get an abortion. IF that's what happened, anyway – we don't know that!
Also, this is Lamebook – not exactly a place for ideological discussion.
So we learned 2 things today: 1. Some, but not all, Catholics are crazy, and 2. Don't use Nair!
thequeen July 22nd, 2010 at 2:52 am
Oh you dear people… I know muepsilongamma. She's… she's nuts. That's really the only way I can describe her. And yes, everything she said was true. She believes every word she preaches. Oh man… I apologize on her behalf. She really is a good person… she's just crazy.
muepsilongamma July 22nd, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Pay no attention to thequeen everybody, she's just another heathen living in sin. May God have mercy on your soul, you traitor!
xopher July 23rd, 2010 at 10:50 am
Sorry, thequeen. I take the phenomenological view here: if you behave exactly like a psycho troll, you ARE a psycho troll.
Psycho trolls are not nice people. Therefore this crazy lady is NOT a nice person, no matter how nice she is (or was, before your "treachery") to you in person.

My two cents, if I may:
This has been going on since the 13th, and I mean, really? Obviously everyone has trapped you in a corner so that you result to screaming out lines from your bible in an attempt to use a "magic erase marker" for being naive.
I think grouping all teenage mothers together is not only cruel but shallow. I've known of someone who was a rape victim and became impregnated, but she decided to raise the baby since it was, indeed, her flesh and blood. Opinions will always be butchered, since we are not in a world of everyone being the same, I honor you for arguing your point intellectually in the beginning, but now I think you're just ignorant and fool-hardy.
People said they understand your views but are just disagreeing with it and stating their opinions, which is acceptable. Retorting back and forth though, is idiotic. Unfortunately I don't know much about you and I will not judge you. People like azarf and mad2physicist are stating their observations on your opinion, and explaining why the think this way and that, some even put down facts. I do not know much about religion, I wasn't born in a family of much faith, I have my own views on which religion I believe in rather than others, but your judgmental ways does not rise up to give Catholics a "good stamp", so to say. People these days are judgmental, much like you (yes, you are being judgmental, saying that if you sin you're done, etcetc), and will brand all Catholics as people much like you if they only are exposed to people who preach their faith aimlessly just to make others try and see the "good" they see in their religion.
Here's the thing, not everyone will approve of your faith, not everyone approves of my faith but I don't go trying to change their views as you seem to be doing (others have too, unconsciously, it's just how humans are these days). Treat others how you want to be treated, and if you want me to speak to you as you speak to others in a condescending, "my faith is always better and my views are superior to yours", arguable tone, then I will if it actually sticks in your brain and doesn't go in ear and out the other like all the other's long paragraphs have.It seems to you your parents are God, have you noticed? It's how THEY feel about YOU, and how THEIR morals are fantabulous and above all others and how they go about being judgmental freaks (yes, in today's society, they will be labeled as such, no one likes to be laughed at for mistakes. After all, people LEARN from their mistakes and fix it so they never do it again.) Of course, not all people learn and some people do the same things over and over again, as you indeed have not learned that you are pushing your morals onto everyone thinking they are, again, superior, just because your parents taught you as such. If you are Catholic, that's great, but what you're doing is definitely not catholic.
I suspect you will disregard all of this because you think we're pieces of shit who you trample on while you reach out for something unknown to us all.
Stop trolling, get a life, go get some friends, because obviously you have none with the way you act.
If I may, I will now discontinue my rant and say one leaving thing that sums up my paragraphs in even a language you may understand:
You need to be slapped in the face, you judgmental and insane witch, have a nice taste of reality while you eat everyone's dust while they ignore your obvious young naive ways and focus their attention and something whose worth doesn't line up to a heap of wet cat dung. -
trollbasher July 27th, 2010 at 1:45 am
Yeah, I got judgmental at the end. Sorry.
affiniti June 2nd, 2011 at 12:46 am
Nair isn't something to fuck with. I've had a harsh experience with it before.

One does not have to look very far in the business world to come across the phrase "Know Your Customer." A company certainly needs to know if an entity that it may sell products or provide services to will pay for those items. Running a Dun & Bradstreet credit check is routinely performed to ascertain if a counter-party is a good credit risk. But how much more should a company do in regards to its customers? Clearly banks, other financial institutions and even casinos need to assess a customer from the perspective of anti-money laundering (AML). Is there a reason grounded in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or UK Bribery Act that would suggest that customers should go through background scrutiny from the anti-bribery/anti-corruption compliance perspective?
I thought about internal controls regarding due diligence requirements on customers, effective compliance programs and third party validation of credentials when reading an article in June issue of Wired Magazine, entitled "Drugstore Cowboy", by Jake Pearson. I found this article to be a very cautionary tale for those companies which need to consider just whom they are doing business with or for. The story involved an undercover sting operation by the US government against Google. The operation involved a convicted felon, one David Whitaker, who convinced law enforcement authorities that Google had assisted him, in violation of its own internal protocols and US laws, to sell illegal "black market steroids and human growth hormones" online. Whitaker told federal officials that "Google employees had actively helped him advertise his business, even though he made no attempt to hide its illegal nature." Based upon his experience, Whitaker believed that Google must be "helping other rogue Internet pharmacies too."
On paper, it appeared from the article that Google has a systems designed to ferret out sites which used words or had other indicia that they were selling illegal drugs. There was an initial screening by a Google sales representative. There was an automated program which searched for key words that might indicate illegal drugs were being sold. There was a review of the website itself to see of other factors were present which might show that illegal products were being sold. Finally, Google used a third party verification service, to attest that any site selling pharmaceutical products was properly licensed.
Based upon his experiences, the government set Whitaker up with an alias, fake company, bank account and phone lines and then monitored and watched him to see if his claims were true. He was told to see if Google would actively assist him to sell advertising for a non-existent company called "SportsDrugs.net, a website that sold HGH and steroids from Mexico, with no doctor's prescription." The plan that Whitaker used was straightforward.
The chilling thing I found in this article was it reported that in each one of the false scenarios, Whitaker was reported to have explained to the Google representative the true nature and purpose of the site. All of the information that Whitaker conveyed made clear that these sites were designed to sell drugs which are illegal in the US, without a doctor's prescription. In just over the span of three months, the undercover operation spent over $200,000 with Google.
Google ended up settling with the US government for a fine of $500 million. Although Pearson did not quote the US Assistant District Attorney, who headed the investigation and enforcement action, Peter Neronha, was quoted as telling the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) the "culpability went far higher than the sales reps that Whitaker worked with. Indeed, he said, some of the company's most powerful executives were aware that illegal pharmacies were advertising on the site." Google itself would not comment for the Pearson article.
From the account in the Pearson piece it would appear that Google had a system in place to check and make sure that it was not advertising sites which sold illegal drugs but that system, both human and automated, was worked around. For the anti-corruption compliance practitioner, I think that there are several key lessons which can be learned from this tale.
Train, Train, Train. If you sell services, which can be used to facilitate illegal conduct, you need to train your sales force to watch out for signs of that illegal activity. The initial Google sales representative who was contacted by Whitaker should have been the first line of prevention to stop the issue before it came up for the company.
Monitor, Monitor, Monitor. There should be several types of monitoring. If a business name comes through your system and it is rejected, there should be a monitoring mechanism in place to note if it reappears later or is approved through some other means, as was done in this situation. Similarly, if the name of a business owner comes up in connection with another company, there needs to a mechanism in place to perform a cross check. The sales representatives should also be monitored to determine if they are manipulating the system.
Incentives, Incentives, Incentives. While not discussed in the Pearson article, what do you want to bet that the Google sales representatives were compensated, at least in part, with a commission based upon the number of GoogleAds that they sold? If your compensation structure or other incentive structure rewards people who use shortcuts, then there will always be employees who take them.
Audit, Audit, Audit. Remember the part of the story about how the Google sales representative would advise Whitaker how to scrub his website of key words, search terms and other information which would indicate that it was selling illegal pharmaceuticals only to reinsert those on the site after the scrubbed site had been approved? You need to audit to determine if any illegal conduct has begun after the contract is signed. And if you do not have audit rights, you have a very slim chance of actually performing an audit.

Analysis of small deflection touch mode behavior in capacitive pressure sensors
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
Due to an increasing need for devices with low power consumption, capacitive pressure sensors have become good substitutes for the well known piezoresistive pressure sensors. Mathematical models are necessary to design and characterize the device, preferably the model is analytical such that geometrical scalings are revealed. We show that, in the case of linear elastic behavior, a simple analytical model can be found for a touch mode capacitive pressure sensor (TMCPS). With this model it is possible to readily evaluate the main features of a TMCPS such as: sensitivity (both in normal and touch mode), touch point pressure and parasitic capacitance. Therefore, the desired device can be designed without using finite element modeling (FEM). This reduces the effort needed to design a micromachined TMCPS. Finally, the model has been compared with a micromachined TMCPS showing an excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Flakie Crackle Heart Nails
I added some simple hearts in my favorite crackle polish La Rosa Maroon Red to my Zoya Chloe nails. I meant to post this before Valentine's Day but it got lost in the bustle of moving. Super easy & effective. I love the color combination.
Thanks for reading!

Zoya Faye & La Rosa Maroon Red Crackle
I prefer using crackles over shimmery polishes for some reason and I decided to try a crackle over my new love, Zoya Faye. I used La Rosa Maroon Red Crackle which is a really nice crackle polish with blue microshimmer. You can see the shimmer best in the last picture. Overall, I'd say I prefer the gorgeous Faye on her own, but this was fun to try and I still think crackles are a lifesaver when your old polish is starting to chip but you just can't find the time to start from scratch.
Thanks for reading!

La Rosa Crackle Maroon Red
This is one coat of La Rosa Crackle Maroon Red over Finger Paints Yellow Bikini. The formula is nice and I like that it separates a lot, allowing the base color to show through.
I went looking specifically for a burgundy crackle so I could match my nails to these roses that Will brought home recently. The La Rosa is much more purple than my roses, but you get the idea. I love these pictures! It was a pretty crazy combination for every day wear though.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to shop the clothing at my store. A few of you have gotten some super good deals! I also have $4 Essie polishes in the old bottles, discontinued Elizabeth Arden polishes and more.

I didn't have finger problems like this. I did, however, have a problem with either not getting my fingers to actually touch my forehead (near miss, fly-by) or with banging myself in the head (hard landing). It was rather embarrassing.
I also had some question as to where exactly (how low or high) the bottom point of the cross should go - and the same 'control' issue regarding the top point was also a factor. Given that I was in my 20s when I was inquiring and converting, lower seemed appropriate as to need but inappropriate as to public use. I've generally settled at belt height or just above over the years. - 7:24 AM
Which reminds me of the first time I went forward to venerate the cross at the end of a service (after weeks, or was it months? of attending church). My priest still likes to tell veneration-phobic inquirers about it. "You should have seen ____'s face. It was white as a sheet."

Who here remembers this commercial:
"Six finger, six finger, man alive! How'd I ever get along with five?" And what was the popular TV show that spawned the product at the time? - 3:22 PM

Storehouse virtually pulled of Russia in August after its franchise partner over-extended itself and required re-financing. The combination of the devaluation of the rouble and plunging levels of disposable income had savaged sales making trading almost impossible.
"We are one of the first retailers to really go back," Storehouse said. "We have always thought the area had a lot of potential." Other UK companies have been badly affected by the Russian crisis. They include Unilever and Cadbury Schweppes, which has a chocolate factory in Russia. Storehouse claims the financial impact of the Russian meltdown was minimal, as it was structured through a franchise partner and was insured.
Storehouse's expansion abroad comes at a time when Storehouse is also re-grouping at home. Last week it cut 90 jobs at BhS as it tries to streamline buying and merchandising functions while making the structure "more customer- led rather than product-led". Forty of the jobs were compulsory redundancies, with the rest achieved through natural wastage. The company said the cuts were not a reflection of group trading.
Separately, BhS plans to test new products and ranges in its stores over the next few months. Following the success of its Christmas gift shop concept it plans to introduce gift sections all year round. It also plans to move into new areas, such as mobile phones. The stores have already been selling large volumes of mobile phone accessories, the group says.
Other seasonal sections are being launched. New "Holiday Shops" are being opened in BhS branches to capitalise on summer spending. "School Shops" will open in time for the back to school period at the end of the summer.

CNCC News
Students are encouraged to register for spring classes now. If there's not enough interest is shown in a class early enough, often it will be cancelled. Call (970) 824-1101 for more information
The Colorado Northwestern Community College first free movie nights received a mixed turnout, with no one coming for the Tuesday showings while seeing a sizable crowd Wednesday.
A festive movie, Jim Carey as "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas," played at 5 and 7:30 p.m. for students and community members to enjoy.
"Wednesday night's first showing was a big success," said Jennifer Holloway, who runs the Merc Bookstore on the CNCC campus. "We had 15 – 20 people, and were really busy with people just hanging out at the school."
The event was meant to be a fun and relaxing event for students as they wind down from a stressful week of finals.
"It's a fun end of finals kind of party," Holloway said.
One-dollar popcorn was available for movie watchers to purchase.
Student Government president Zoey Sowers said the event was a nice way for students to let go of all their stress.
"We always do something fun during finals week," Sowers said. "This time we wanted to do something different."
Sowers said she saw a good mix of students and community members at the event.
Hoping to do it next semester during finals, Sowers said the event was a success.
"It was very fun," Sowers said. "I hope we get more people next semester."

Why The Break
Another long break in posting I'm afraid. The only thing I've been writing lately is an obituary.
My wonderful Father passed away the morning after Thanksgiving. He will be greatly missed by so many.

'American Idol' Live Recap: 13 Become 12
Thursday, March 10, 2011
Carla Patton
Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
With these results,
American Idol
will give us our true Top 12, as the voters have done what Jennifer Lopez couldn't. We'll also get a group number (such trepidation!) and performances from Adam Lambert and Diddy-plus-whoever-and-whatever he's tacked onto his name now (Diddy-Dirty Money with Skylar Grey).
This week,
the Top 13 performed
for the first time as finalists, choosing songs by their "personal idols." It was kind of a sleepy show, with lots of ballads, a little over-singing, and
a few underwhelming performances
. I predict that we'll see
Ashthon Jones go home
, even though I thought she might be
Peaches' Pet
(the contestant Ryan Seacrest will inexplicably touch more than the rest). But at least I
what each contestant is all about now. Well, maybe not, but I really wanted to use "overstand."
This week's theme is "Idols" (how inventive!), and if it's not already obvious by now, my personal idol is Ryan Seacrest. You know he goes home after taping an episode of
American Idol
to swim in his giant pool full of gold coins Scrooge McDuck style!
Tonight in judge fashion, Steven Tyler is wearing a black lace duster, and one of Jennifer Lopez's sleeves is making up for the loss of its mate by being extra puffy. Randy put his outfit on the night before and slept in it because "it saves time in the morning." (He didn't say that. I love Randy.)
Thirty million votes came in this week, but it was still not enough to save one person. Speaking of saving, the Judges' Save is back in play this season. Oh, cool. Ryan tells us that Casey Abrams is missing because he's sick in the hospital (again)! At least he's a better performer than Christina Christian, who was sick and missed the results show in which she was eliminated. I think they wheeled her out in a wheelchair at some point, too, or am I making that up?
The finalists got a
video montage
of them enjoying their swanky Season 10 Idol Mansion, and I could watch Jacob Lusk react to things all night long. Well, I'd prefer it to the group lip-sync that followed. At least, I think it was lip-synced, especially because of how some voices sounded and the way Haley forgot not to mouth the words she wasn't singing. But some of the singers (Lauren Alaina, in particular) did not sound like they had the advantage of studio magic.
Michael Jackson medley group performance
was SO delightfully awkward. I wanted it to go on forever. James Durbin didn't even sound like himself, and forgot to hold the fake microphone up to his mouth. Ashthon was giving the camera her sexiest faces, and Scotty was relying on his old country charm. It was a HOT MESS.
As if that wasn't enough, we were then subjected to
the Ford music video
. They were ripping parts of the city down and turned it into a stage, upon which they sang to an audience full of Ford Focuses.
Hey, Amanda Seyfried, didja like that movie you were in? Spoiler alert: She did! It was "the best experience of her life." But it's not about you, Amanda;
Red Riding Hood
was all about the
contestants. The finalists were excited about
stars and Lance Bass. Seeing the movie was the best experience of their lives, except I think Scotty and Lauren fell asleep. It may have been past their bedtime (I had to say it).
Hey, Ryan, how about some real content? DIM THE LIGHTS, KAREN! Kieron? Not like people behind the scenes matter as much as Ryan Seacrest. Jacob, Stefano and Karen are the first three called to the center of the stage. Ryan asks Jacob, "Can you fly?" because he asks the questions that MATTER. Then he asked Stefano how good it felt to be shunned by America.
Jacob and Stefano are safe, and Karen Rodriguez is in the bottom three.
The way Ryan told her was pretty messed up: "You're all safe ... except ... except for Karen Rodriguez." Ryan should really be better at this by now.
Adam Lambert performed
and the show got 25 times classier. He's singing a remix of "Aftermath" or is it "Aftermath Remix"? Anyway, if you download this song, the proceeds will go to help the Trevor Project, so if you like it you should actually pay for a copy instead of pirating it. Adam Lambert, I love you and your shiny hair. The long moment of Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest discussing "the Dougie" was gratuitous.
Guess we're not worried about time! DIM THE LIGHTS, KAREN! Not you, Karen Rodriguez! You're already in the bottom, try to relax. Lauren Alaina, Ashthon Jones and Haley Reinhart are called to center stage next. Some of you have been complaining about Lauren Alaina in the comments, and I'm starting to understand why. She is a little too cutesy. Ryan made her cry (or she made herself cry), and so he tells her that she is safe. They love the fake-out on
, don't they?
Ashthon is next, she regrets picking another more obscure song. Randy tells Haley that he loves her "husky" tone, and he loved her in that group number. I don't think that was even Haley's voice she was lip-syncing to, Randy. Jennifer Lopez recommends that Haley sing some Stevie Nicks.
In another weird move, Ryan tells Ashthon that she is in the bottom three ... ALONG WITH HALEY. So ... everyone else on the couch is safe! So weird.
Karen Rodriguez, Ashthon Jones and Haley Reinhart are in the bottom three
, and this leaves plenty of time for BANTER!
And now a performance from
Diddy-Dirty Money with Skylar Grey
. If you have not been eagerly anticipating this performance, you could get up and get a snack or something. Or maybe you're like me and you're not sure exactly what Diddy-Dirty Money is (it's P. Diddy and some members of Danity Kane of
Making the Band
fame?). I just found out about "overstand" and had to look up how to spell "the dougie," so don't rely on me for up-to-date pop culture information.
Then Ryan Seacrest moved them over to the contestant couch so that Diddy could tell the contestants never to give up on their dreams. Maybe he should have said something to the bottom three, unless bottom-dwellers are dead to the likes of Diddy-Dirty Money. I don't know his/their/its personal philosophy.
DIM THE LIGHTS, KAREN! And as for you,
Karen Rodriguez, you are safe
. Don't sing a Selena song again.
Haley is safe, and Ashthon is singing for the save
, which she will almost certainly not get. But who knows, this is her second week singing under pressure and it worked last time! I like her hair, because it is both hip and somewhat mystical.
The judges, naturally, are
using the save, and Ashthon will not get to live in the
American Idol
Mansion anymore. That may be the biggest bummer of all.
So, Ashthon Jones is going home. Did you see it coming?
Oh, and I would like nothing more than to forget that David Cook covered "Don't You (Forget About Me)," so let's accept what is and move forward.

GOSHEN -- Kwamane DeGraffenreid, 24, of Newburgh was arraigned Thursday in Orange County Court on charges including attempted murder.
DeGraffenreid's lawyer, Natasha Turner, entered a "not guilty" plea on his behalf in the Jan. 1 City of Newburgh shooting.
Assistant District Attorney Julie Mohl told Judge Nicholas De Rosa she had just handed Turner five DVDs containing security video from the bar where the shooting happened and video of statements DeGraffenreid made to police.
The charges in the case also include first-degree criminal use of a firearm, which carries a minimum 10-year prison sentence.
De Rosa set bail at $250,000 cash or $500,000 bond. DeGraffenreid returns to court on Feb. 4.

Ice Gopher. Anthony Powell. Sink holes in the ice shelf re-freeze over winter, and when the ice expands as it freezes it causes these mini-volcano shapes to appear. Ice expands at roughly a 9:1 ratio when it freezes, so there was roughly 9 times the volume of this wee eruption in liquid water hidden just below the surface of the ice a few weeks before.

Seventeen species of breeding seabirds can be found nesting in huge colonies on many of the islands in the Chagos archipelago, and 10 of the islands have received formal designation as Important Bird Areas by Birdlife International. This means that Chagos has the most diverse breeding seabird community within this tropical region.
Of particular interest are the large colonies of sooty terns (Sterna fuscata), brown and lesser noddy's (Anous stolidus and A. tenuirostris), wedge-tailed shearwaters (Puffinus pacificus) and red-footed boobies (Sula sula). Rat colonies on several of the islands cause problems with ground-nesting species, and habitat restoration (including removal of the rats) will be an important part of the management of the Chagos Marine Reserve.
The red-footed is the smallest of the booby family, with a fully developed wing span of around 4 ½ ft. However, this doesn't stop this fish-eating bird from flying long distances before dive bombing into the sea with its streamlined body to swallow its prey whole. Although they spend their winters at sea, red-footed boobies can be found nesting on the Chagos atolls during the summer months, as well as other locations in their subtropical Atlantic and Pacific ranges. These birds take on a variety of colour morphs, both between their life stages and individuals, but all can be characterised by bright red feet. They make up for a low reproductive rate (laying just one egg) by living for more than 20 years, provided they can avoid their main threats of habitat loss and depleted prey stocks due to overfishing.

Justification: Although this species is newly described and only known from the central Philippines, its depth range probably provides it protection and there are no known major threats. It is listed as Least Concern. |
Range Description: | The WoRMS database describes this recently described species as occurring in the West Pacific (Appeltans et al. 2011). Records from shell collectors show this species has been found throughout the central Philippines, from Cebu City south to Aliguay Islands (Poppe and Poppe 2011). The EOO, AOO and number of locations exceed the thresholds for criteria B1 and B2. | ||||

Population: | This species is locally abundant in the central Philippines (G. Poppe pers. comm. 2011). | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | This newly described species occurs at depths of between 180-300 m on mud and gravel (G. Poppe pers. comm. 2011). |
Systems: | Marine |
Use and Trade: | In common with all Conus spp, shells of this species are traded for the collector market. There are no quantitative data available on the number of shells removed, however, this species is traded for prices typically in the low mid range with plentiful availability (Poppe and Poppe 2011). |
Major Threat(s): | There are no known major threats to this species, as it has a deeper distribution, there is no pollution in the area, and it is too small to be fished for food (G. Poppe pers. comm. 2011). |
Conservation Actions: | As a recently described species there are insufficient data to carry out a detailed assessment. Research into the range and habitat of this species would be appropriate. |

Most people can only dream of owning a car like a Porsche. For artist Chad Shore, the dream is a bit different.
Shore dreams of taking the elegant sports car and turning it into a work of art, literally. Chad Shore has been producing art professionally for about 12 years, and he has decided to take his work in a new direction. Earlier this year, Shore started working on what he calls "Car Part Art." The name says it all. Essentially, Shore uses pieces of car bodies like fenders and hoods as a canvas to host new paintings. Shore said he wanted to start off with something that would get the attention of the car enthusiasts in the area. "The colors I chose are from a paint scheme from the older 70's and 80's Porsches called Martini," Shore said. Martini is basically a paint scheme used in those eras, consisting of white, blue and red, according to Shore. "This is something that's already apparent to the Porsche enthusiasts," Shore said, speaking of his chosen theme. "It's easy to recognize, and the car people will know it right off." Not only has Shore been hard at work producing his pieces, he has also worked tirelessly to get this weekend's show organized. Shore pointed out it is more of a motorsports event that features some creative art work, rather than just an art exhibit. The event is gaining the attention of the high-end sports car community. There are links for "Car Part Art" on the websites of both Porsche and Audi, according to Shore. "Anybody and anything that has to do with motorsports will be there. You're talking representatives from some major race teams, including drivers and crews. You name it and they'll be there," Shore said. Shore said that participants are encouraged to park their cars in designated areas for crowd display. Also, Kinetic Motorsports will open up the doors for tours of the mechanic shop and inside looks at some of the cars. "If you like high-end cars, you can definitely get into it. Enthusiasts will love it," Shore said. There's no way you can come to the show and stay less that two hours with everything that's going on." "Car Part Art" will be on display from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday at Kinetic Motorsports in Buford. Kinetic Motorsports is located at 6000 Holiday Road. The free event is open to the public. For more information, visit www.chadshore.com.

Summer is here and that means it's ice cream time. And while we really like the store-bought kind, there's nothing that compares with making your own. Because when you make your own, the flavor possibilities are endless. We really like to do bourbon or buttermilk ice creams, but maybe you prefer Swedish fish or grape jelly and peanut butter. Whatever your taste is, you can have it when you make your own. Overwhelmed by the possibilities? Here are 12 flavors to start with.
Don't have an ice cream maker? Any of these can also be made in your food processor.

I'm trying to re-install full text on my cluster as per this knowledge base article:
<br /http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=812666

Because I currently can't use any of my full text indexes.

I've deleted the resources and registry key and am now running the .cmd file as requested. This is the output I get:

C:>"C:x86FullTextMSSearchSearchSearchStp.exe" /s /aQLServer

C:>"C:x86FullTextftsetup.exe" SQLServer MYDOMAINMyUser 1 0 1 0
FulltextSetup returned error code: 0x80040D02

I cannot work out why I am getting this error, or any reference to what it may mean. Because I deleted the resource, I had no full text service at all - I have tried to add back the resource (including setting the registry keys as per the kb article) but now my full text service fails to start at all. In the event log I get a message invalid file name.

Any ideas?
May search this KBAhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;827449 to resolve the issue. I'd recommend that you install the Full-text Search components via your SQL Server 2000 Setup CD and select "custom installation" and under "server components" you will see "Full-text Search" and you should checkmark this and then the SQL Server 2000 Setup process will install these components for you.

That article is for non clustered servers - for clusters it links back to teh article I was using. Any other ideas?
Confirm: Identify the required resources To recover the full-text search service on the clustered instance of SQL Server, you must identify the following resources: • Identify the method that you used to install SQL Server. You must have access to the SQL Server setup files to install the full-text search service. Therefore, if you installed SQL Server on your computer by using the CD-ROM, make sure that the CD-ROM is available. .. and also confirm whether you followed all the steps defined in your KBA. Also review and post anyother error messages from SQL server and Cluster services.

The orgianl install was done from a network share. I have followed KB 812666 step by step using the network share and copying the files to the local server. I have also tried it with the orginal sql files and the SP3a files. Everytime I run the install I get the error in my first post. To which I can't find any reference to anywhere.
Remove the registry key: HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftSearch1.0LanguageNeutral Restart Microsoft Search, and then restart any populations that failed. This might include catalog populations for other instances of SQL Server, and any other products that use Microsoft Search.

It's called the Superbug (not really, we just thought it sounded good) and, thanks to a race-tuned turbocharged TSI engine, it churns out more than 420kW. It also sports four-wheel drive, racing tyres, twin exhaust and a massive twin rear wing.
It's the monstrous brainchild of VW America and top racing team Andretti Autosport, which plans to enter it in this year's Global Rallycross Championship.
That means it'll be rocketing over 70-foot jumps and racing similarly powerful rivals across dirt and tarmac.
Former F1 and NASCAR ace Scott Speed and US racer Tanner Foust are the guns hired to tame it.
