What happened next was familiar. Dokic's new fans learned her father, Damir, was ejected from a pre-Wimbledon tournament and later arrested for public intoxication. CBS News Sunday Morning Anchor Charles Osgood reports on the relationship between parents and rising tennis stars.
Besides the newcomers, there are top players at this year's U.S. Open with notorious parents. The father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, Richard, is known for grandstanding. Fifth-seeded Mary Pierce's father, Jim, who has berated fans and his daughter, was banned from attending her matches.
"There's so much money, so much fame and so much glory that it's very, very seductive," says sports psychologist Jim Loehr.
"And the other thing about parenting is there's no owner's manual. You know, you really don't have much to go by, and you fly by the seat of your pants," he says.
Loehr has discovered that when athletes come to him with performance problems, more than 40 percent of the time there's a parent involved. He's on a crusade, begging parents and players to put the game into perspective.
"OK, let me ask the parents this one: How many of you are really in the back of your minds going, Â'This could be pretty cool if we could get a college scholarship?Â'" he asks as he addresses some of the best young players in Denver's InterMountain League.
They've just finished a junior season, which with lessons, equipment, tournaments and travel, costs the family a minimum of a thousand dollars.
"It's not unusual to be spending anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000 a year on tennis at the highest level, to, say, in the competitive ranks," says Loehr.
"As parents and players, what you're doing in tennis is investing time and energy, precious time and energy in a life experience that you believe will help them develop into a more fully functioning person and bring them greater strength and resiliency and the ability to handle life forces," he observes.
"As soon as you see it is taking you in a direction that is compromising the very thing you got into tennis for, then a massive red light has to go on," Loehr says. "When the fun stops, trouble is not far behind."
Loehr himself was the child of a well-meaning parent. "My father wanted me to be a baseball playerÂ…and from the age of 3, I was out throwing balls," Loehr remembers.
"There was so much pressure. He didn't realize it at the time, but he wanted a baseball player in the family," he says.
"The pressure was too much, and one dayÂ…I was a pitcher, and I threw my arm out. And it was really for me a big relief. It got me out of the pressure," Loehr recalls.
Loehr says that parents simply don't realize thtremendous impact they can have on their childrenÂ's ability to control their response to stress.
There was no doubt Samantha Stevenson wanted her 5-year-old daughter Alexandra to grow up to play professional tennis.
"I was programming her to be a professional athlete from the time she was in my womb," says Samantha Stevenson.
"You know what's difficult though? The better they get, the more you have to back off," she says.
Now 18, Alexandra is fulfilling her mother's dream. She wasn't invited to Wimbledon, but earned a spot by winning qualifying matches. She was the first female qualifier to power her way to the semifinals.
Despite publicity about her famous father Julius Erving and her single mother, she plays with extraordinary talent, almost as if her life depends on it.
Loehr says parents should teach children to separate winning from self-esteem.
Pressure can start at a very young age.
"So that what you're fighting for is your psychological survival," Loehr says. "Winning means I'm a good person, that I am worthy of all this attention that I'm getting. Losing means exactly the opposite."
The Williams say they learned from others' mistakes, but Richard Williams has been very hands-on with both his daughters.
Explains Loehr: "The coach should be the one who can really push and put the pressure on, really work the intensity." He adds, "And as soon as you start tampering with that, you create an imbalance in this triad."
The Williams have been very visible when their daughters play, and their daughters have a reputation for showing their feelings.
This could be seen in Venus Williams' professional debut in 1994 against Shawn Stafford and in the semifinals of the 1997 Open when she had a run-in with Irena Spirlea. And when sisters Venus and Serena faced each other in this year's Lipton finals, Serena acted out.
Tennis star Martina Hingis' mother Melanie is the only coach she's ever had. Hingis was reevaluating their relationship when she lost to Steffi Graf at this year's French Open and threw a temper tantrum. She asked her mother not to come to Wimbledon, and later admitted that was a mistake. Her mother has been courtside at the Open.
"Parents can help them so much, establish balance, have a life and an identity so much bigger than tennisÂ….It's a great opportunity to teach ethics and character," Loehr continues.
About 10,000 players compete for the top 150 spots in tennis, and when Loehr's son Jeff took up the game, Loehr hd to sit back and practice what he preached.
"It was a real challenge to do the right thing and not to put so much pressure on him," says Loehr. "He's literally the son of this guy who teaches mental toughness and parenting."
"Tennis taught him discipline, taught him how to be successful in school," he observes.
The University of South Florida gave Jeff Loehr a scholarship and he became one of the best collegiate players. After graduating, he turned pro. Although it involved $40,000 a year of his dad's money, this father and son made the decision together.
"We sat down and talked about traveling by myself, managing all my own affairs, you know, from getting cabs in foreign places, goofy things," says Jeff Loehr. "I was actually out in the real world."
Jeff Loehr played his way up from the bottom to No. 450 in the world computer rankings, quite an accomplishment. But a few weeks ago, he knew it was time for another heart-to-heart talk with his father.
Recalls his father Jim Loehr: "The most exciting thing for me is when Jeff Loehr said, Â'You know, I think I'm finished with tennis. I think I need to move on because I really can't make it....I've gained so much from tennis. I need to move on to the next phase of my life.' And I just went whew, that's pretty cool."
While Jim Loehr has his favorites at this year's Open, he'd rather brag about parents. He applauds Sam and Georgia Sampras, who weren't coming to see their Number 1-seeded son play.
"They've decided to stay in the shadows," Jim Loehr explains. "They will not step out for any reason."
He says their consistent approach will help their son deal with his disappointment about withdrawing due to injury. He knows what they'll tell Pete: "You're still the same person, you're just as loveable as you've always been. And so, come home. It's always here for you."
Karolji Seles, Monica's father, was another good example, and the exception to Loehr's theory that parents shouldn't coach.
"He would do anything he could to raise her spirits," says Jim Loehr. "He would create a cartoon on the ball and make her smile. The job was always to pull her off the court and to convince her to take some time off."
"Her mother is probably the greatest example of someone who is there for Monica no matter what, and has no intentions to be known," he continues.
"I think it kept her solid and strong because she knew she was so much more than a tennis player. She was truly loved," he says.

Hello, My name is Scooter and this is my little sister, Kira. We used to live with our mommy in her condo and then she had to go to an assisted living facility. Luckily, we were able to stay with her until now. Our mommy had to go into a skilled nursing facility and we could not go with her. We miss her terribly and are confused. We are still at our apartment but must vacate by 10/31/15. We are both healthy, neutered/spayed indoor cats. We have no medical conditions & take no medications. The problem is that I turn 12 on 10/31 and Kira, who was adopted at approx. age 1 or 2 is now 8 or 9 years old. I try to be brave for Kira because I don't want her to worry but, between you and me, I'm really scared. I know what happens to cats like us if we don't find homes. My human sister, Kelly, can't take us. She has contacted dozens of shelters and rescues. No one will take us either because they are "at capacity" or because of our ages. We are both good kitties. We don't do any of the behaviors that some bad kitties do, like scratching, spraying or biting. I am very outgoing and friendly. Kira is a bit shy but is very loving once she warms up. I am asking you to please consider fostering me and/or Kira in order to give Kelly more time to find us forever homes. She will supply our food and litter as well as pay for any veterinary expenses that may arise. We understand we may have to say good-bye to one another but we are not ready to say good-bye to our lives. We have a lot of life left in us. We promise to be good companions as we have been to our mommy. PLEASE FOSTER US. We want to live. (10/17/15)
The organization took its first steps in 1973 with a few animal lovers who wanted to reunite pet owners with lost pets. Today there is a no-kill shelter located in Midway City, with a population of approximately 110 cats and dogs. There is a telephone/email helpline that assists pet owners with a variety of issues, including spay/neuter, pet aid for low-income pet owners, animal abuse and any number of other issues related to cats and dogs.
AALOC is managed almost entirely by volunteers. The reason we do what we do is that we care deeply about animal welfare and hope to make a difference - at least in our part of the world.

Re: Jewish Dominance Of America - Facts Are Facts
"The Gulag Archipelago, 'he informed an incredulous world that the blood-maddened Jewish terrorists had murdered sixty-six million victims in Russia from 1918 to 1957! Solzhenitsyn cited Cheka Order No. 10, issued on January 8, 1921: 'To intensify the repression of the bourgeoisie.'"(Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago)
There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the Revolution one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission in Defender Magazine, October 1933
Also published here apparently: (Rohrberg, Commission of Enquiry, August 1919; S.P. Melgounov, La terreur rouge en Russie. Payot, 1927, p. 161; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, pp. 149150)
"The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable pain. Others were placed in boxes with only their heads, hands and legs sticking out. Then hungry rats were placed in the boxes to gnaw upon their bodies. Some were nailed to the ceiling by their fingers or by their feet, and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and hot lead poured into their mouths. Many were tied to horses and dragged through the streets of the city, while Jewish mobs attacked them with rocks and kicked them to death. Christian mothers were taken to the public square and their babies snatched from their arms. A red Jewish terrorist would take the baby, hold it by the feet, head downward and demand that the Christian mother deny Christ. If she would not, he would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet.
Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: 'The whole cement floor of the execution hall of the Jewish Cheka of Kiev was flooded with blood; it formed a level of several inches. It was a horrible mixture of blood, brains and pieces of skull. All the walls were bespattered with blood. Pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them. A gutter of 25 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters deep and about 10 meters long was along its length full to the top with blood. Some bodies were disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out, the head, face and neck and trunk were covered with deep wounds. Further on, we found a corpse with a wedge driven into its chest. Some had no tongues. In a corner we discovered a quantity of dismembered arms and legs belonging to no bodies that we could locate.'"

We already know of the glee with which Jacob Schiff and other Jewish bankers greeted the news that their co-religionaires in Russia were now engaged in the favorite Jewish practice of mass murder, but what of American government officials, who were well-informed by a number of intelligence sources about these atrocities?
The satanic Communist Chekists took pleasure in brutally torturing their victims-many of who were Roman Catholics: The priests in Kherson were crucified. Archbishop Andronnikov of Perm had his eyes poked out and his ears and nose cut off. There were Chekists who cut open their victim's stomach, pulled out a length of small intestine, nailed it to a telegraph pole, and with a whip forced the victim to run circles around the pole until the whole intestine became unraveled. Eyes of Church dignitaries were poked out, their tongues cut off, and they were buried alive. The Bishop of Voronezh was boiled alive in a big pot, after which monks, revolvers at their heads, were ordered to drink. In Kharkov people were scalped. In Tsaritsyn and Kamyshin people's hands were amputated with a saw. In Poltava and Kremchug the victims were impaled. In Odessa they were roasted alive in ovens or ripped to pieces. In Kiev, victims were placed in coffins with decomposing bodies and buried alive.

This is a myTake for three inspirational YouTubers:
Christopher Chann, Chelsea Charles, and Juan Topete.
Christopher, a skateboarder.
Chelsea, a singer.
Juan, an Independent Filmmaker.
All very different, yet all very alike. These young adults are so inspirational in my opinion because they are following their dreams. Despite all the odds against them they just keep doing what they do and try to get what they want. Which in my opinion, most people don't even bother trying for their dreams. I wish everybody were like these three and just went for what they wanted. You don't need to sit at a desk your whole life, sometimes all it takes is a little effort to be doing what you love.

St Kitts and Nevis (WINN): The federation is observing World Glaucoma Week during March 12-18 this year, under the theme, "B.I.G – Beat Invisible Glaucoma."
Glaucoma is a significant health issue in St. Kitts and Nevis, with 1,334 registered cases of glaucoma present in our medical institutions.
Minister of Health, Wendy Phipps, gave an official address to launch World Glaucoma Week, discussing the impact the disease has on a global scale.
"Glaucoma is also ranked as the 2nd most common cause of blindness globally, with cataracts being deemed the leading cause. Some 6 million persons in the world are blind as a result of glaucoma. This translates in the statistic that just over 12% of all blindness in the world is as a result of glaucoma. By the year 2020, it is expected that some 11.2 million persons would have been diagnosed with glaucoma."
She also revealed the activities planned to commemorate World Glaucoma Week in St. Kitts and Nevis.
"Quite a number of activities have been planned to mark the observance of World Glaucoma Week in St. Kitts and Nevis. These include the following: Tuesday, March 14th – Glaucoma Video and Lecture Presentation at the Eye Clinic at JNF General Hospital Wednesday, March 15th – (a) Lecture discussion at 9:00 a.m. by Ms Juletta Fyfield on "Living with Glaucoma"; and (b) Visit to the Cardin Home 5 | P a g e Thursday, March 16th – Glaucoma Awareness Walk from Best Buy Supermarket, through the Roundabout at Camps, and east along the FT Williams Highway towards the RL Bradshaw International Airport, starting at 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 17th – Glaucoma Awareness T-shirt Day with Clinic as per Established Schedule at the JNF General Hospital"
According to Phipps, it is important that the federation celebrate World Glaucoma Week, and be mindful of the disease.
"We must all be reminded of the need to preserve our vision, to police our health, and not take our eyesight for granted. In this way, we would be a healthier Nation with our people living more industrious, productive and independent lives for longer periods of time. The Ministries also urge everyone to get regular vision checks in order to increase our chances of preserving our vision for as long as possible."
Glaucoma is defined by the World Health Organization as a group of diseases that impact eyesight by damaging the optic nerve through the disruption of the eye's natural drainage system. If left untreated, glaucoma can impair vision and eventually cause blindness.

White House bizarrely teams up with NASCAR to promote efficient motoring
- Noah Joseph
- Dec 11, 2014
"Tires is what wins a race." That was the lesson Harry tried to teach Cole in the stock-car classic Days of Thunder. "If we can't figure a way to run so you don't melt the damn tires, we can't finish a race."

Architect of GM's bankruptcy plan reveals how company was saved
- Brandon Turkus
- Nov 2, 2013
Some things are never as they seem. That's especially true when talking about the bankruptcy of General Motors. From afar, it's easy to look at GM's issue being one of decades of mismanagement, poorly built cars, and a certain, too-big-to-fail mindset. But closer to the situation, as the Detroit-based company was well and truly spiraling out of control in 2009, there was much more that the public wasn't able to notice.
Autoweek divulges details on Presidential limo
- Jeffrey N. Ross
- Oct 22, 2013
Ever since the latest presidential limousine, also known as The Beast, debuted in 2009, we've wondered what's underneath that black Cadillac body. We already know a few details, like the fact it isn't a Cadillac at all, but a very heavy duty truck chassis from General Motors with a body that resembles a super-sized Caddy. Autoweek, however, has managed to extract new details from veteran Secret Service agents about the closely guarded presidential limo. Their methods, of course, are classified.

- Jeremy Korzeniewski
- Jul 3, 2013
President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.

President Obama's limo breaks down in Israel
- John Neff
- Mar 20, 2013
Reports are coming in from Israel that President Obama's limousine, often called "The Beast," has broken down. You might be wondering how the most protected vehicle in the world could break down on an overseas visit, and the answer would surprise you. There's a bit of discrepancy over what exactly happened (and the Secret Service is living up to its name with the details, but apparently somebody filled The Beast with diesel fuel instead of gasoline gasoline instead of diesel, according to The Ti
Obama calls for spending $2 billion in oil lease revenues on clean vehicles
- Sebastian Blanco
- Mar 15, 2013
President Obama wants to know how many clean cars $2 billion can buy. In an announcement expected later today, the President is expected to ask Congress to use $2 billion that the government has raised from allowing oil and gas exploration in the Outer Continental Shelf to fund clean energy transportation.

New Delhi: India's engineering exports registered the highest ever growth of about 85% to $60.1 billion in 2010-11, on account of a robust demand for the goods not only from major markets like the US, but also from Latin America.
During 2009-10, the exports were $32.5 billion, according to Engineering Export Promotion Council (EPCH) data.
"An impressive growth in the engineering exports has come about on the back of a strong demand from the US and the developing markets of Latin America and Middle East," EPCH executive director R. Maitra said.
These exports would have been still higher, if there were no financial problems in Europe.
"The European market is still sluggish," Maitra added.
In March 2011, the exports grew by over 115% to $7.4 billion year-on-year.
The US accounts for 30% of the country's total engineering exports. In the government's strategy to double India's exports to $450 billion by 2013-2014, the engineering exports are set to play a major role.
Engineering export include exports of goods, transport equipment, capital goods, other machinery/equipment and light engineering products like castings, forgings and fasteners.
India's exports in 2010-11 stood at $245.9 billion, the highest ever since Independence.

text: The Top 25 Brows in Hollywood\\nIt used to be that actresses plucked their brows to pencil-thin perfection, but you'd never know it if you look at celebs today—they're all about working what they've naturally got, whether thick and prominent or long and lean. Check out the most glorious arches in the biz.\\nThe model's brows are so lush and perfect that when she hit big in 2013, [Google searches](http://www.allure.com/story/cara-delevingne-and-her-bold-brows-are-trending) for \\"fuller brows\\" went up, and searches for \\"tweezers\\" and \\"eyebrow plucking\\" went down.\\nAlba blames the '90s for her excessive plucking, and she's worked hard ever since to thicken her arches. Now she has the Goldilocks of brows: not too full and not too thin.\\nCollins may frequently transform her hair style and color, but her always-thick brows have become her signature feature.\\nThe actress's dark, full brows are seriously groomed—there's nary a stray hair in sight. They taper off right above the outer corners of her eyes, making them look even thicker in the center (in a good way).\\nZendaya's brow game isn't amateur level: She uses both [pencil and powder](http://www.allure.com/gallery/best-brow-kits-and-fillers) to fill in sparse spots, and finishes with brow wax to keep everything in place.\\nThe model's brows may be thin, but the sharp arches give them significant presence—as does the raised-eyebrow look that Kloss has mastered.\\nFor a dense style, the actress fills in her already-thick brows with products like the [DiorShow Brow Styler](http://www.allure.com/review/dior-diorshow-brow-pencil). Whoever said that the eyes are the windows to the soul? Because in our opinion, it's definitely the *eyebrows*.\\nLike everything else about Beyoncé, her full, feathered brows are groomed to perfection.\\nWho said messy is bad? The starlet is known for having beautifully unkempt brows. Makeup artist Stephen Sollitto fills in any gaps with pencil and then reigns them in [with a bit of brow gel](http://www.allure.com/story/hailee-steinfeld-makeup-vmas).\\nBrushed up and filled in, these brows mean business. To get the look, draw small lines with a [brow pencil](http://www.allure.com/story/three-brow-pencils-worth-trying) in the same direction of your hair growth.\\nStone's not one to rest on her beauty laurels: Both her hair color and eyebrows are ever-changing. We're loving this feathery brow look that fans out at the inner corners.\\nCruz doesn't mess around when it comes to her famously expressive pair. She gets them shaped by brow goddess Anastasia Soare, founder and CEO of [Anastasia Beverly Hills](http://www.allure.com/story/brow-product-hacks).\\nRita Ora's shapely arches bring to mind another blonde bombshell—Marilyn Monroe.\\nKing's slender brows have a modest arch that are ideal for her bone structure; you don't want intense inverted V's when you've got super-angled cheekbones like these.\\nNot every brow is arched equal. In fact, some of us out there barely have an arch at all. Case in point: Miley Cyrus, who's dark, straight brows create the perfect frame for her clearwater blue eyes.\\nAnother example of beautiful straight brows: Portman's eyebrows have often been compared to Audrey Hepburn's legendary ones.\\nThe model keeps her brows on point with [four steps](http://www.allure.com/story/how-to-recreate-jourdan-dunn-perfectly-arched-eyebrows), which include brushing up and plucking stray hairs to create a shape that beautifully frames her face.\\nWe've been oogling Connelly's amazing blunt brows since the '80s, and they're *still* as covetable as ever.\\nHale's pristinely-arched brows are her own handiwork. [As she told *Allure*](http://www.allure.com/story/lucy-hale-pretty-little-liars-beauty-routine), \\"People are always surprised when I say I do my eyebrows myself.\\"\\nThe secret to Hill's bushy brows: She leaves them alone. \\"When you're younger, everyone always got waxes and the hair would stop growing there,\\" she's [said](http://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Taylor-Hill-Beauty-Interview-41007120#photo-41007171). \\"My mom refused to let me do that, and they just grew out like crazy. Now they're really thick.\\"\\nKnightley's brows are thin but plentiful, which gives them a bold yet nonbushy look.\\nBrow pencil isn't a must for good brows if you're Watson—*eyeliner* is. That's what she uses to fill hers in. For grooming, she relies on threading.\\nBetween those feathery straight hairs and that minimalist arch, Moretz's brows are soft but statement-making.\\nWhen you've got striking eyes and arches like Megan's, you put them to work. See: Fox playing the supersexy Mikaela Banes in *Transformers* and the possessed high-school cheerleader in *Jennifer's Body*.\\nThe key to Kruger's natural-looking brows: an ash-colored [pencil](http://www.allure.com/gallery/best-eyebrow-products) for a little oomph, no plucking required.

"Time's a goon, right?" Right. Though it may seem like a collection of short stories at first, Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squadis actually an intricate web of lives thrust together. You could say the main characters are two people. A boss, Bennie Salazar, and his secretary, Sasha. Though the novel is filled with many other vibrant characters, it is these two that stand out the most. And it is these two that have a connection, however indistinct, to every other character in the novel.
The novel itself becomes like a puzzle. Each chapter, each individual story is an interlocking piece of a larger picture. Much like one of those digital art pieces you can buy at a poster store, made up of thousands of still images, each chapter in this novel can stand on its own, but when combined together the stories are a beautiful portrait.
And you don't have to be a pure good person to make it okay in life. Even those who make mistakes end up well, because they've tried to make up for all the hurt they've caused, by doing good. It isn't a matter of black and white, but different shades of gray, and sometimes color.
The way Egan meshes these character's lives, is an obvious allegory to life itself. As you don't see some people every day of your life, you only know what happens through snapshots. And so we are this additional character in the novel. Unspoken of, and not made reference to. And we just meet up with our friends through the years, and recall some of our favorite, and some of our worst memories. And we see their lives change as time goes by. A Visit from the Goon Squad tells us, throughout the course of the book, is that time can be a goon, but sometimes you can stop it from pushing you around. And the other times, you can always stop and listen to the pauses.

Agents Of Socialization
La Famila
My family has socialized me the most. One thing they socialized me into is my religion. They taught me all the ten commandments from the bible. It taught me that i should never lie and always be truthful. They also taught me to never take something that isn't yours.
The Ten Commandments
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- You shall not make idols.
- You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- Honor your father and your mother.
- You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet.
Another thing My family socialized me into is my self image. My parents believe that you should never care what others think of you but only what God thinks of you. My mom taught me that you cant change who you are and I should embrace who i am and love myself. My parents helped me early on to embrace who I really am.
School has helped my socialization by rewards and punishments. If I do something good and outstanding it felt good to get honor roll and prizes. If I did bad in test and failed, then my punishment was getting a lower grade and trying even harder to get a higher grade. School taught me that rewards and punishments were based by performance.
School also taught me real world experiences. Some examples are time/bells and appropriate dress. In the real world I have to be at places and at a certain time. The bells at school teach me that if I don't get there in time I will have consequences. School has taught me to speak professionally. No matter where you are you need to watch what you say even in school not just the outside world.
Peer Group
My friends are a big factor in my life. They socialized me to push myself including my singing. My friend Meleena pushed me to continue on with choir and sing. Singing is what i always loved to do but i was very timid to do it at first. She later then helped to get over that fear and do what i love.
My friends also socialized me by learning how to deal with conflict. Every relationship has its bumps and roads but we learned how to get over it and deal with it with maturity. My friend Mya and I used to argue a lot because we were so different, but as we got older we learned how to push our differences aside.
Mass Media
Mass Media socialized me by following role models. One example is Carrie Underwood. I love Carrie Underwood because of how open she is to her religion. No matter how many people put her down she continues to sing about God. She is a good role model because she teaches Christians that you should be proud of what you believe in.
Mass media also socialized me by my desire for missionary work. The first time I ever heard about Sex Trafficking was the first time i watched Law and Oder about 2 children in Chicago kidnapped into slavery. After that I researched sex trafficking and had a desire to help. When i'm in college i'm planning to go with my brother to Thailand to the red light district. I plan to speak to those woman in need. In my community i'm also in S club which is an all girls club dedicated to help women in domestic violence and Sex slavery. Mass media has really impacted my life.

Marica Hase, Samantha Bentley & Latex Lucy - Naked and Invaded
Released: November 19, 2013
Latex Lucy (in the red mask) and Samantha Bentley (the black mask) decide to have fun with their mostly naked slave Marica Hase. Marica wears a mask, too. The latex-sheathed ladies lead their subbie outdoors by her leash, then get her kneeling so she can lick Mistress Bentley's snatch through a slit in her gold bodysuit. Then Lucy smacks Marica with a riding crop on her fetching fanny, warming it up for the real exploration to come: the fingering and then the fisting of Miss Hase's taut asshole. Then the two dominatrixes lean over their slave and kiss each other as Marica stands in the middle, her ass still tingling from the completed invasion of h...

Low temperature (sub 1000°C) thermal hypersensitisation is reported in germanosilicate optical waveguides. Gratings are written using a CW 266nm laser source. In contrast to laser hypersensitisation, thermal excitation is generally dispersive involving a range of specific glass sites. More complex grating profiles presenting evidence of solid-state autocatalysis and bistability at increasingly high sensitisation temperatures are observed. More specifically, at 500°C, a behaviour resembling type IIA grating response is observed.

I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
