A "U.N." for Religions
I'm thinking of a way to bring the religious leaders of every religions, cults, sects or any other religious beliefs representatives together.
The goal behind this is to make them all agree on a term of mutual respect and to make them sign a contract saying that they agree to consider others beliefs in an equal way and not superior nor inferior to their own beliefs, to try and reach a true global religious brotherhood in order to bring a peaceful era, to end the religious wars and religious hatred and to end the possibility for political leaders to use religions as a tool to bring wars more acceptable.
Some of them might not agree to sign an agreement such as this, for fanatical reasons or any other reasons, but some would and that would make all the difference.
I wonder how many followers would still perceived themselves as being "higher" or "superior" from others by knowing that their own spiritual leader didn't agree to sign a "philosophical agreement" such as this, knowing that this agreement is meant to show the true Love and Compassion these spiritual leaders are teachings in their own way.
With such a philosophical agreement of fraternity, we could let go the differences, the first step toward a true global peace would be accomplished.
Religions are not suppose to be part in politics and many beliefs despite politics, but this "agreement" could signify the end of the fetal state of humanity.
An U.N. like Organization for Religions could mean a lot for our future. I consider this to be an essential asset in order to build a peaceful world.
Are you in favor of this ?
I would like to know.
Thank you.

Feb 23 2012: there are religions or rather paths wherein on one side the Buddha says... "dont follow this just because i say so, find the truth of ur own life...witness your own life..." n then there are those who have even mandated how n what animal to eat what not,how to beat wife who doesnt agree with you etc.In such diverse band of so called religions there r these clear observations that i see across the world...1)the spread of the religions has been more or less inversely proportional to element of spirituality actually put to practice(i may quote a master"religions are: spirituality gone wrong" 2)ideally all religions should have been "spirituality adapted to the geography",so they would have been absolutely harmonious despite behavioural differences...had this urge to outnumber, outgrow, not been there 3)when that animalistic urge became dominant in religious systems,religions started to go beyond the adapted geography, n hence behavioural conflicts started...so today religions i feel have lost their truth even in behavioural aspect n its core that is universal brotherhood,spirituality,etc had turned virtual way back
so challenges ahead of such UN of religions 1)Even if we discard "mine is superior" attitude,show mutual respect (that has been theoretically always there so whats new actually?)we will not progress truely untill certain absolute behavioural rubbish r trashed for once n all from all religions 3)atleast for the sake of idealistic guideline the united nation of religions may declare any act of violence or killing for religious propagatory purpose as punishable in its court.4)concrete steps to protect "the minorities" we need to understand,certain paths that remained nearer to the word 'religion'-"reconnect to GOD" never felt the need to propagate, as they practised all inclusiveness 100%, they are on the verge of extinction.we ought to protect them. High time that religions start to reconnect to being human at the least if not reconnect to GOD
Feb 23 2012: The idea i promote does not include a court for religion neither imposing rules over them.
It is meant to be a gathering for all the religions representatives to agree on a mutual respect and work together fraternally. The goal of this is to succeed to reduce the amount of fear and hatred that one religion might get from another.
I feel like imposing rules over is not the right way, even though parts of texts should be remove, it's not by forcing their ways that we will reach a state of world peace, if one religion feel that a passage of their texts is to be removed, it is their own choice, if this event can help bring to this reasoning, good. But i'm not sure that imposing rules will be met with better openness on their part.
First let's build a Peace treaty, then we'll see what are the outcomes.

A mixed bag, this one. I Love Charts combines the just plain hilarious with the simply fascinating. Taking entries from all over the internet and beyond, an ILC post can be anything from a 19th century pie chart to a hand-drawn Venn diagram, and will almost always raise either a laugh or an eyebrow. For people who see the funny in a bar chart titled "Frequency of Lying" that spikes at "I have read and agreed to the Terms of Service," or a colour-coded map of the states titled "Classification of young American females according to Brian Wilson."

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS discovered America in 1492. At least that is what all elementary school children were always taught: "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Of course, Columbus never did "discover" North America, and the places he did explore already had people living there. He only discovered them from the viewpoint of the Europeans. Yet his first voyage did prove one thing for sure, that the earth was not only round, but that it was bigger than he had thought.
The Holiday
One of the first known celebrations marking the discovery of the "New World" by Christopher Columbus was in 1792, when a ceremony was held in New York City honoring Christopher Columbus and the 300th anniversary of his landing in the Bahamas. Then, on October 12, 1866, the Italian population of New York organized the first celebration of the discovery of America. Three years later, in 1869, Italians in San Francisco celebrated October 12 calling it C-Day.
To mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyage, in 1892, President Benjamin Harrison made a commemorative proclamation. But it was Colorado, in 1905, that became the first state to observe a Columbus Day. Since 1920 the day has been celebrated annually, and in 1937 President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed every October 12 as Columbus Day. That's where it remained until 1971 when Congress declared it a federal public holiday on the second Monday in October.
Christopher Columbus (1451 - 1505)
Columbus, the son of a wool merchant and weaver, was born in Genoa, Italy, and went to sea as a boy at the age of 14. Following a shipwreck off the coast of Portugal in 1470, he swam ashore and settled in that country.
Between 1477 and 1482 Columbus made merchant voyages as far away as Iceland and Guinea. In 1484, he presented his idea to King John of Portugal. He said he would sail to the East Indies by sailing west instead of east. Like other rulers of that time, King John didn't believe it was possible and didn't want to waste his money. Shortly thereafter, Columbus moved to Spain, where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella became more interested in his adventuresome ideas.
To the New World
On August 2, 1492, Columbus set sail in search of the East Indies. The voyage was financed by Ferdinand and Isabella. Columbus and 90 crewmen boarded the three ships that were to make the first voyage to the New World, the Niña, Pinta, and the flagship, Santa Maria. On October 12, 1492, Columbus first saw the islands of the new world, landing in the Bahamas. Later in the month, he would sail to Cuba, and to Hispaniola (now Haiti). He thought he had reached the East Indies, the islands off Southeast Asia.
Contrary to popular belief, most educated individuals in the 15th century, and especially sailors, already knew that the earth was round. What was not realized by Columbus, however, was just how big a globe it was. Columbus also didn't realize that there were two continents in the way: North and South America.
What did the Sailors Eat?
The menu for Spanish seamen consisted of water, vinegar, wine, olive oil, molasses, cheese, honey, raisins, rice, garlic, almonds, sea biscuits, dry legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, beans, salted and barreled sardines, anchovies, dry salt cod and pickled or salted meats (beef and pork), salted flour.
Food, mostly boiled, was served in a large wooden bowl. It consisted of poorly cooked meat with bones in it, the sailors picked it with their fingers as they had no forks or spoons. The larger pieces of meat were cut with the knife each sailor carried. Fish was eaten most often. On calm days, the crew would fish and then cook their catch.
Return to Spain and Additional Voyages
On Christmas Day, 1492, the Santa Maria sank off Hispaniola. Columbus departed for Spain on January 16, 1493 on the Niña, arriving there on March 4.
The second voyage set sail in September, 1493, with 17 ships. During his expeditions, he helped to colonize Hispaniola, and discovered the South American mainland. Columbus made a total of four trips to the new world. He did not, however, see mainland North America or the undiscovered United States during any of his voyages.
He returned to Spain for the last time on November 7, 1504. He died at Valladolid, Spain on May 20, 1506, at the age of 55.
Much controversy exists over Columbus' expeditions and whether or not one can "discover" an already-inhabited land. The natives of the Bahamas and other islands had been there before any Europeans. Also, it is known that the Vikings explored the North American coast 500 years before Columbus. Nevertheless, Columbus' expedition resulted in the first permanent European colonies in the New World. In other words, because of Columbus's discovery, people from Europe traveled to the New World and made North and South America their new home.
MYTH: Columbus set out to prove the earth was round.
FACT: At the end of the 15th Century, most everyone knew the earth was round. What was in question, however, was the size of the earth--its circumference. Columbus underestimated the size of the earth by one-fourth.
MYTH: Queen Isabella sold the crown jewels to pay for Columbus' voyage.
FACT: The queen may have suggested this at some point, but her financial advisers assured her that there were other ways to finance the enterprise. One way was to make the city of Palos pay back a debt to the crown by providing two of the ships. Another way was to get Italian financial backing for part of the expenses. The crown had to put up very little money from the treasury.
MYTH: The crew of the three ships on the voyage of discovery was made up mainly of criminals and no-goods.
FACT: The crew was primarily comprised of seasoned sailors from the towns of Palos and Moguer, Spain, thanks to the efforts of the Pinzon brothers. Just in case Columbus might have had trouble attracting a crew, the crown did offer amnesty to criminals. However, only four criminals were on board: one a convicted murderer (he killed a man in a quarrel); the other three, accused of freeing him from prison.
MYTH: Several hundred sailors were aboard the three ships on the initial voyage in 1492. The ships were relatively large for the anticipated long journey on an unpredictable sea.
FACT: Only 90 men made the first voyage of discovery. The ships were quite tiny by modern standards - no longer than a tennis court, and less than 30 feet wide. The Santa Maria had 40 men aboard, the Pinta, 26, and the Nina, 24. Only the Nina and the Pinta returned to Spain, as the Santa Maria was shipwrecked on Christmas Day, 1492. 39 men volunteered to stay behind at the fortress called "La Navidad" on the northern coast of present-day Haiti (they all perished at the hands of the Indians prior to the return of Columbus the following year).
MYTH: Columbus died a pauper, in chains, in a Spanish prison.
FACT: Despite the fact that the Spanish crown retracted some of the privileges promised to Columbus, he was a relatively rich man at the time of his death. Although he returned to Spain in chains in 1500 after his third voyage, the King and Queen apologized for the misunderstanding and had them removed. Columbus died quietly at the age of 55 in Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1506, in his own apartment attended by family and friends.
MYTH: Columbus is buried in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.
FACT: There is much controversy surrounding the whereabouts of the remains of Columbus. There are records of the transferal of his remains on different occasions, so that it is possible that parts of his remains are in several locations. The prevailing belief, however, is that his primary burial place is in the Cathedral of Seville, Spain, with some of his bones or ashes in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and some in Genoa, Italy. At one time they were in Cuba.
MYTH: Columbus set foot on North American soil at some point now a part of mainland United States.
FACT: Columbus never saw North America. He first set foot in the Bahamas, probably the current San Salvador (Watlings Island), although even this is disputed (Samana Cay, an island 65 miles south of San Salvador is a strong contender). There are other possible island landing sites. The only current U.S. territories either sighted or visited by Columbus are the U.S. Virgin Islands, which Columbus named on his second voyage, and Puerto Rico. While in anchor at St. Croix on November 14, 1493, some of Columbus' crew experienced the first hostile encounter with the Indians. Five days later he landed at San Juan Bautista, now Puerto Rico. Later he would visit the northeastern tip of South America and the eastern coast of Central America, but never mainland U.S.A. The fact is that Columbus never admitted that he had discovered a new continent.

Karen, how do you get Maddie to keep her hair tie in?!?! Grace rips them out!
^^^^^^^ If the late O didn't actually have anything to do with the mc, then I would go for it this cycle and just push back everything else a couple of weeks.
I'll be testing Feb. 7th. How awesome of a birthday present for Grace would that be? :P
My cycles have been so out of whack since the last miscarriage. I've had 2 cyles. The first I surged on day 14, the second on day 18! When ttc DD, I surged consistently on day 10. This last...
Good luck!
Good luck! And have you tried Preseed? It's a fertility friendly lubricant.
I don't chart, so I can't help you, but good luck!
Good luck!
With my last pg, my implantation bleeding lasted 3 days. I also thought I was off on my timing and was mad that my body was being weird!
Implantation bleeding? I know you said the timing was off, but implantation bleeding generally occurs 6-12 dpo. Good luck!
I tested this morning and got a :bfn:
:hugs: Hang in there. It's a tough journey to be sure.
I stop testing once I get a positive. If you have enough tests, it wouldn't hurt to test again now and then do it again tomorrow.
Mine will generally build up a bit.
Not doing any medicated cycles - just trying on our own for now since that's how we got pregnant in September. I tested this morning because I wasn't sure if I surged on CD 14 or CD 18 and got a...
With my first pregnancy, my due-date was perfect timing! Right at the end of the school year so I would have the whole summer. Miscarriage. My next pregnancy had a due date in November - I'd have...
I see something faint on the bottom one as well. Good luck!!!!
I'm only 6 dpo. I'm testing this Friday just in case I got my ovulation wrong, but the "real" test will be on Tuesday!
When we first started TTC, I would POAS at least 4 times! :laugh: I would even do it one more time after starting AF since I had heard you could still bleed some but be pregnant. :eyeroll: Now...
:hugs: You found a good place to come. The girls in APA are very supportive. Sometimes you just need someone to understand.
Thanks. I just got home and did another OPK since I restarted my progesterone this morning. It was negative. So hopefully that means I surged on CD 18 instead. I don't know what the minimal...
Does anyone know if progesterone supplements can trigger a positive OPK? I've had one cycle since the last miscarriage and I O'd on CD 14. Usually I'm very consistent on the day I O. When trying...
Could you try next month, and then if not pg, do the testing after the new year?

Top Tips for Protecting Children's Hearing
When most people think of hearing problems, elderly people come to mind. But unfortunately, hearing damage can happen at any age, and it's important to protect the ears to avoid unnecessary hearing loss. This is especially important in children, who have very sensitive ears that can be permanently damaged with prolonged exposure to noise. Follow these tips to protect your children's hearing in loud situations.

If you're doing an LFR specific slime kill priority, I would disagree with throwing green in there. I'd choose black as the last one for that, since the damage from green oozes doesn't splash in LFR and therefore doesn't require the more complex spreading out required in normal mode. The adds from the black, however, consistently seem to stay up too long in LFR due to tunnel-visioned DPS.
But honestly, it doesn't matter too much.
I actually usually just stick with Purple>Green>Yellow when I lead it just for the sake of giving newer raiders some practice/knowledge for when/if they decide to get into normal modes.
Also, on Hagara, one tip with the ice phase I have is this:
I've seen a lot of folks die because their first ice crystal dies TOO quickly, and in the moment, they start running to the next one and totally get hit by the wall as it's spawning. If your first crystal dies quickly...just have patience and wait for the wall, even if you think you can beat it. :P
Yeah- green is pretty weak on RF. As both the OP stated and your post indicates, though- the actual order is less important than getting some sort of agreement on an order. The fight isn't all that much more difficult if you go Green>Blue or Blue>Green, but you will wipe if half the group thinks it's Blue and the other half thinks it's Green.
Yes green is nerfed to the ground in LFR, so it can be ignored with no real risk, but if whoever is calling a color or setting the priority says green, then green it is. Just make sure something dies. I've seen raids in LFR with half the group on green and half on something else just because people on both sides were too stubborn, and that's never a good thing.
And totally right on Hagara's ice phase: if you kill your ice dealie too quick just wait for the ice wall and follow it. Trying to get in front of it will just get you killed. And if it somehow doesn't get you killed, you'll only get about one second on the next crystal because that wall you just skipped is right behind you and coming right for you.

Never make Blue a priority in LFR.
There's only 6 combinations in LFR, and only one of those combinations DOESN'T have Purple or Yellow. It's Black, Green, Red. If you make Blue a priority, you will never kill it.
Since everybody but Hunters should be stacking on the boss anyways, Red shouldn't be an issue. Definitely make Black the third priority.

Let Me Try That Again
Great performers relive their terrible performances to benefit The Performing Arts Project.
On Sunday, November 3rd at Joe's Pub, Steve Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County, "Do No Harm", "Rescue Me") hosts an evening of fabulous performers sharing video of their most embarrassing moments onstage and then redeeming themselves by recreating that moment live on stage. Broadway musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell (Big Fish, The Addams Family) will serve as the music director for the evening, which includes participation by Pasquale, Hunter Bell ([title of show], Grinch), Susan Blackwell ([title of show], "Side By Side"), Richard Kind (The Big Knife, "Mad About You", "Spin City"), Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, "Do No Harm"), Krysta Rodriguez (First Date, "Smash"), Jeremy Shamos (The Assembled Parties, Clybourne Park), and David Yazbek (The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) At the end of the evening, the audience will vote on the star performer who most redeemed themselves through their efforts that night. Tickets are available here: joespub.com.
"This benefit is to remind us all that we all have failed. And failed miserably; in my case in particular," says Pasquale. "But it's also to remind us about persistence, and focus, and moving forward. And about recognizing how important it is to not take ourselves too seriously. It should be a crazy fun night."
Let Me Try That Again is the inaugural benefit for The Performing Arts Project: a not-for-profit organization formed by a group of respected educators and entertainment industry professionals to help prepare the next generation of performers. The Performing Arts Project offers dynamic and constantly evolving annual programming, the cornerstone of which is a three-week summer intensive during the month of July. Funds raised during this benefit will go directly towards scholarships and student programming costs.

"We Are The Crystal Gems" is a song first sung by Steven in the Pilot. He describes it as the song he will sing every time they go into battle.
| If you're evil and you're on the rise
You can count on the four of us taking you down
Cause we're good and evil never beats us
We'll win the fight and then go out for pizzas
| We are the Crystal Gems
We'll always save the day
And if you think we can't
We'll always find a way
| That's why the people of this world believe in
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and Steven!
- At the start of the song, in the Main Series, you can see the Crystal Gems glow.
- It was revealed at the Gallery Nucleus Steven Universe/Adventure Time art show that an extended version of the theme song containing spoilers exsists.

If you like purple and have a smaller bust then buy this shirt. If you are a true size medium (size 10 dress) and have a larger bust find something else Or you can try the large. Other than color (the mocha means purple) and size this shirt was awesome. I am just disappointed it didnt work for me as it was exactly what I was looking for in a button up shirt.
My wife wears a (M) or a (L) depending on the shirt material. The material & size of this shirt is NOT what it should be. Either these shirts are factory errors/ mis-cut's or they were really made for children. A so-called Adult Large might actually be a Small - it's at least 2 sizes off scale.

Demetrius Johnson's dual skill set showed last week when he caught a 35-yard touchdown pass and also returned an interception 78 yards for a touchdown in Annapolis Area Christian's 42-8 win over Friends. The senior is rated a 4-star wide receiver by Rivals.com, which also ranks him the No. 3 overall senior recruit in Maryland and the No. 24 senior recruit in the nation at wide receiver.
But Johnson, at 6 feet 2 and 210 pounds, is projected by most to play safety in college and is fielding offers from Maryland, Syracuse, Hawaii, North Carolina State, Marshall and Old Dominion. Only Marshall is recruiting him as a wide receiver.
He is the only Baltimore-area player selected for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 4 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. He will also play in the Maryland Crab Bowl.
Johnson followed his brothers Marlon, 21, and Michael, 19, into football and if the Eagles can beat St. Vincent Pallotti Friday to earn a berth in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association C Conference championship, he will close out his high school career in the title game on Nov. 9.
Did you play football in the backyard with your brothers?
It was scary actually, because they're bigger than me. It was fun and I could learn from them since they were older, but they ganged up on me all the time. They'd just come and tackle me, but that made me tougher, way tougher.
What position did you play first?
My first position was tackle and defensive tackle. I didn't know anything about football, so they just put me there. My brother Michael, I had to play football with him, because I didn't know how to do anything (laughs). He was pretty helpful.
When did you start playing offense?
I became a wide receiver in seventh or eighth grade when I played little league football for the Chargers. They had me at running back and they had me play receiver, too, and that's when I fell in love with receiver.
What do you like about it?
Just play making. The one second left, you catch the ball in the end zone, everybody's looking at you.
Which do you like better, offense or defense?
It's kind of even now. I used to like offense the most, then everybody started telling me that I'm most likely to play defensive back in college because I have a nose for the ball, so then it just became equal.
What's been the biggest challenge in adapting to defensive back?
Playing defensive back, I think, is being able to back-pedal and keep everything in front of you. It was sort of hard to learn, getting the footwork and everything down. It's basically the same thing as receiver, just backward.
Where are you in the recruiting process?
I'm just still trying to figure it out. It's kind of hard now, because it's during football season and trying to play football and do school, it's hard.
Playing at a small school like Annapolis Area Christian, how do you get on a college coach's radar?
Camps and 7-on-7s and how you perform on the field, basically. Last summer, I did a Rivals camp and I did 7-on-7s with the school team.

The Sun reviews 9m ad business
The Sun, the News International-owned newspaper, has called a review of its £9m advertising business, currently handled by Euro RSCG. It is holding credentials meetings over the next week.
The review, which is being handled by the AAR, does not include the advertising for The Sun's sister paper, the News of the World, which is also handled by Euro RSCG. The agency has held both accounts for three years.
Euro RSCG won the business following a three-way pitch against Publicis and Saatchi & Saatchi. It was previously handled by TBWA\London, which had worked on the account for ten years.
The Sun was the only tabloid to grow its readership according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations figures. It grew by 0.55% month on month, with a year on year rise to 3.1 million readers.
Euro RSCG launched a new TV work for the paper to support its fantasy football competition, Dream Team.

Mama Africa is a consistently interesting and well-made African episode film, only slightly marred by occasional lapses into a rather simplistic moralism. Of the three shorts, Hang Time, directed by Ngozi Onwurah (the most experienced director of the three), is the slickest, most well written, and most interesting thematically. Kwame (Brian Biragi) is a talented and driven teen who feels he can't rely on his father, who spends long periods away from home working on an oil rig. Onwurah does a good job of setting up Kwame's decision to turn to criminality in order to buy the sneakers he needs to impress an American basketball scout. Biragi is appealing in the lead. While the tragedy that befalls Kwame will seem contrived to some, his younger sister's (Hilja Lindsay-Parkinson) pragmatic response to that tragedy hits home with its blunt honesty. In Uno's World, director Bridget Pickering does a good job in frankly portraying how a rebellious teenage girl gets into more trouble than she is emotionally prepared to handle. This character study has a true-to-life feel in its depiction of the resourceful but irresponsible Uno (Sophie David) and her social milieu. Raya is the most problematic of the three films, despite an engaging and charismatic performance by Rehane Abrahams in the title role. While director Zulfah Otto-Sallies seems to sympathize with Raya's rejection of her mother's religious beliefs, which Raya understandably finds oppressive, the film falls into the trap of depicting Raya's later problems as a direct result of her choosing an independent life. Similarly to the main characters in the other two films, Raya is between a rock and a hard place, but the difficult decisions she makes are more understandable. Taken as a whole, Mama Africa entertainingly and movingly shows a world Western audiences have rarely seen.

I feel so victorious! I found a new range of matte lipsticks from Wet n Wild at the drugstore recently and the display had all but one color. Too bad, so sad.
I've been on the hunt for Mega Last Lipstick #970 and today, I finally found it! For under $20, I have all 13 shades. I haven't worn any of them yet, but I have high hopes and low expectations.

Each year, unplanned teen pregnancies in Lubbock County cost taxpayers millions of dollars. In addition, experts say, the number of teen moms on the South Plains is on the rise. Lubbock County is above the state and national average for teen births and in some zip codes, the rate is nearly ten times higher.
Over the past two years, the number of teens who have given birth in the City of Lubbock has increased more than 30%. These girls are 17-years-old and younger. In 2005, 189 teens gave birth. Last year, that number jumped to 250. While many believe these statistics do not affect them personally experts say think again.
"I made a mistake," Samantha Servin said. She is just 16-years-old and just weeks away from giving birth. Samantha says she found out she was pregnant when she was 15.
Samantha was a sophomore at Estacado High School when she says she made an adult choice to have sex with her boyfriend of about a month. "We thought we were using protection but I guess we weren't," Servin said.
Manager of the Matador football team and involved in Youth Corps, Samantha says she finished out the school year. But it wasn't easy. "You're walking around there's girls just constantly teasing you, talking about you knowing that they've preformed more actions and they just haven't made the mistake of getting pregnant," Servin said.
From January through June of this year, 115 teenage girls under the age of 17 have given birth in Lubbock. In addition, that number will increase, as 15-year-old Amber Johnson is also just weeks away from a delivery room. "It's my own fault for going out and doing it," Amber said.
Amber was just 14-years-old and a freshman at Monterey High School when she and her boyfriend got pregnant. NewsChannel 11 asked, "Were you guys using protection?" "Yea actually" Johnson said. "What kind of protection?" NewsChannel 11 asked. "A condom," Johnson added. Apparently it did not work and Amber is now nearly 9 months pregnant.
As more teens give birth you pay the price. In 2004, teen pregnancy cost Lubbock County taxpayers nearly $4.5 million. "That includes health, loss of wages because mom dropped out of school. That includes the fact that 22% of pregnant moms who have a son, their son will end up in prison or juvenile," Linda Brice said.
Brice teaches at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Nursing. She's researched the problem for the past five years, and says when it comes to teen pregnancy Texans pay more than any other state. "People say it doesn't concern me, I don't have somebody who's pregnant. Anybody who owns property, who buys things in the store, it affects you because your taxes have to pay for part of that," Brice said.
Brice says teen pregnancy is not an individual issue but a community problem. "A teen that drops out of school because of pregnancy has a one percent chance of ever getting out of poverty. A teen that ends up with two babies her chances are about zero of ever getting out of poverty," Brice explained.
Brice adds the problem is not just on one side of town. "It's pervasive throughout. You have pregnancy in all the high schools and in the middle schools," Brice said.
It is a reality both Samantha and Amber see every day. NewsChannel 11 asked Samantha, "Is it common to see pregnant girls at school?" "Yeah it is," Samantha replied.
NewsChannel 11 also asked Amber, "Is getting pregnant becoming a cool thing?" She answered, "I don't think it's a cool thing. But I think that's how kids are starting to look at it, cause like everybody is doing it and I guess everybody thinks they have to go and do it."
Both Samantha and Amber tell NewsChannel 11, despite the challenge of being a teenage mother they plan to finish their education.

DENVER (AP) — Republican strength in this year's House and Senate races could, strangely enough, hurt the party's presidential chances by stalling the changes in style and policy advocated after Mitt Romney's defeat in the 2012 presidential campaign.
WASHINGTON - Several big corporations have reaped millions of dollars from "Obamacare" even as they support GOP candidates who vow to repeal the law.
WASHINGTON - The sniping between establishment Republicans and tea partyers resumed Thursday as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz refused to endorse his state's senior senator in next week's Republican primary.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate sniping between establishment Republicans and tea partyers resumed Thursday as Sen. Ted Cruz refused to endorse his fellow GOP Texan in next week's primary. Sen.
WASHINGTON - Partisan politics are coloring governors' decisions about whether to expand Medicaid in their states, affecting billions of dollars and thousands of low-income people.
WASHINGTON - A rare flash of bipartisanship Saturday served as a cruel tease to those hoping Congress is moving toward reopening the government and averting an unprecedented default on the federal debt in less than two weeks.
WASHINGTON - The government shutdown could last for many days or even weeks because politically safe lawmakers in both parties feel little pressure to compromise.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Ted Cruz, seemingly eyeing a presidential run in 2016, calls his renunciation of Canadian citizenship no big deal, even though questions about candidates' birthplaces have flared in recent elections.
WASHINGTON - Republicans' knack for congressional redistricting helps them control the U.S. House, but it may be working against them on immigration changes that national GOP leaders see as critical to the next presidential election.
WASHINGTON — The Republican Party, having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, confronts a dilemma that's easier to describe than to solve: How can it broaden its appeal to up-for-grabs voters without alienating its conservative base?
There's no consensus yet on how to do it. With the next election three years away, Republicans are tiptoeing around policy changes even as they size up potential candidates who range from tea party heroes to pragmatic governors in Republican- and Democratic-leaning states.

On Saturday, Mexico and Canada faced off in the World Baseball Classic, and it included a fairly large brawl.
At the time, Luis Cruz was not ejected from the game, although seven other players were. However, after looking at the replay, it's pretty clear that Cruz did throw a punch.
So, while Cruz will be returning to the Dodgers sooner rather than later, it might not be that soon after all.
Eric Stephen of True Blue LA has pointed out that MLB could punish him for his involvement.
Hopefully MLB will look the other way since it was something that wasn't related to MLB, but it's fairly common for major sports leagues to fine or suspend players for things that happened off the field or court.
They should also take into account that Cruz wasn't issued a foul at the time.

Dirty Tailgaters- Savage Race PA 2013 by Dave Martinez - 12 months ago
"Picture shows 5 of the 25 "Dirty Tailgaters" team members as they trained for Savage Race PA on Sept. 14, 2013 in Albightsville, PA. What better place to train than the Art Museum of Philadelphia steps (same steps in the "Rocky" movie.) We were announced at as the largest team in the Savage Race PA. The race just happened to be the COLDEST race in Savage Race history at 45ºF. CustomInk was great to us. Designs were great, and delivery was prompt. Looking forward to doing business with them again. Savage Race 2014 in MD. coming in May. "

LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt are the schools being considered from the SEC.
Leeman Bennett, chairman of the Chick-fil-A Bowl Selection Committee, wrote some good things about Vanderbilt.
"The Commodores finished the year as one of the hottest teams in the SEC winning six straight and 7 of their last 8 games," wrote Bennett. "That streak and their decisive win against Wake Forest on the road will earn them a spot on our short list this week and will put them on our final board on Selection Sunday. Coach Franklin has made his mark on the Vandy program with an 8-4 mark this year and there are certainly good days ahead for this team – including a chance the Vandy Nation may Anchor Down in Atlanta."
The Chick-fil-A Bowl has an SEC team payout of $2,932,500. The game will kickoff at 6:30 CT on New Year's Eve and will be shown on ESPN.
The ACC has three finalists to play in the Atlanta bowl including Clemson, Florida State and N.C. State.
The Music City and Gator Bowls are also believed to be seriously considering the Commodores.
The SEC should add Army and Navy
Chaos in conference realignment provides the SEC with a great opportunity. Now is the time for the…

I mean, we're happy that many use our cross bikes for free-road or whatever, and we know they make great rain and winter road bikes. But just so you know, they're built for racing. In fact the Vanilla Cross Team has podium'ed up and down the west coast, seen some action at the Cross Worlds, and taken a win at the nationals in Providence.
Our cross bikes are light, nasty and fun. Designed for speed in a race or on snowy gravel road, they're capable thoroughbreds.

The paper quality is superior, the printing is perfect, the colors are even better than than they appear and the graphic is so sweet. Best of all the price was amazing. I got so much for so little."

if that was your first thought, then go with it.
Keep in touch with the model and wait the few months.
Translation = listen to me and not those "others." Great advice though.
I have a feeling it's the girl herself wanting to do a SG style shoot. I can't imagine any parent making such an ignorant suggestion...on so many levels.
Hey - stop translating - it's making me look arrogant.
(translation - keep on going - it makes people read the crap I post and think I know what I'm talking about.)
like.... it takes a whole community for him to figure that out?
I just don't understand this mesmerizing allure young women have over men...
It seems obvious that what the "model" has suggested is too riske, so his conscience kicks in and he goes "no! I can't do that legally!"
so THEN he turns to the MM community as though to ask "what should I do?"... (and I'm like WTF?)
I am inclined to believe that the OP was looking for someone to give him the "loop hole" answer that would make it all OK...
-- >HEY OP!! Why are you asking us this question, and WHY do you want to shoot a sexually charged ("SG style") set with a girl who's so dam young? What is in it for you?
17 year olds are just as hot as 18 year olds. Anyone who says otherwise is full of crap. The only difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old is a couple to a couple hundred days. If it weren't socially unacceptable, I'm sure I could find plenty of 17 year olds I'd want to see naked.
But at SOME point that "eww" effect kicks in...
AND - shouldn't what is legal help serve as some kind of moral compass check?
Like I said, I'm no virtuous virgin... but.. c'mon..
The only difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old is the amount of time you could spend in jail... if it goes wrong... and someone complains...
I will tell her no for now until she reach the legal age.
What is the rush?
If that's how you want to set your moral compass. Personally...I got awfully hot and bothered when Harry Potter had his shirtless little 16/17 year old body in that tub. I could care less whether the law says I can't do him...doesn't mean I'm going to stop fantasizing about it.
To me, the "eww" effect kicks in not when some stupid laws say someone's allowed to be sexually attractive, but when they're obviously not physically adult.
I wouldn't do a 17 year old because I don't want to get arrested. If it weren't illegal, I'd certainly bone a hot 17 year old. I'm only 19 after all.
If you'd actually read everything I said, you would've seen that I suggested he not shoot her nude, or in a sexually charged manner.
I'm talking about from a physical attraction standpoint. Not a legality standpoint. As Martha Stewart would say "Context...it's a good thing."
OMG...when did SG become porn??????
I'll comment on that. For ANY work where one must keep 2257 records [and SG itself requires them as would most likely SG "style" work even if not produced for SG] THE MODEL MUST BE 18 AT THE TIME THE WORK IS MADE.
If one is caught e.g. post dating the records that could easily cost them 5 years in the Federal lock-up and a hell of a fine on the recordkeeping issue alone. That may ALSO, depending on the nature of the actual images, be in violation of 2256. which will add charges on top of charges... and in fact constitutes production of child porn, with all that entails. State law can add even more charges on a state level.
So the answer to the OP's question is an unqualified NO! strictly based on the nature of the work proposed.
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, OH!. . . . OK.. now this is making sense to me..
I forgot you are 19.
Without the LEAST shred of condescension Kaitlin, that does matter.
At least the attraction bit gets explained.
And, yes, you've been clear all along that it the OP NOT shoot the model in question...
I'm just trying to dig up WTF is the deal when a grown man is (apparently) considering (or looking for a way to) shoot someone who is clearly a child within a sexualized context?
WHY? Why even have a moment's questioning of the situation - if the "ew" factor does not kick in and nip the deal in the bud then the fact that is is blatantly illegal should quash any further speculation. Period. The fact that it (apparently) did not really just boggles me.
Sure, there are uber hot, VERY young people out there.. lots of them. And while your eyes and libido might be lulled by someone's looks, the moment you hear their voice, or see them move, or notice their physical development, or listen to the conversation - every fiber of your body (mine does) should begin to say [i]"!CHILD!" .
And no, children are not sexy. Anyone who is turned ON by the presence of a child should take a cold look at themselves.
So am I not hot because I'm 19? Because I can find you a shitpile of men way older than me who find me attractive. In fact...just go to my page and you'll see in my credits a list of 20-some men who found me attractive enough to shoot me. There's a reason Playboy and Maxim shoots young women. Because they're attractive.
What makes you assume that the girl in question is "clearly a child"? I looked exactly the same at 17 as I do now. In fact, people have seen photos of me at 15, and thought they were more recent than some of my recent photos. Women develop WAY before age 18. I had these hips, this ass, these legs, these abs...all my sexually appealing qualities were there by the time I was 15. I moved and talked like a woman by 16 or 17. People develop at different times. A 17 year old may not be legally an adult, but they are by no means necessarily a child.
There is absolutely nothing unnatural or immoral about seeing the beauty in a WOMAN...18 or not. In fact, I could argue that it is unnatural NOT to be attracted to a fully physically developed, good looking 17 year old.
I'm not saying people should have sex with 17 year olds, or shoot them nude. I don't want anyone thinking I'm advocating doing ANYTHING illegal. I'm not.

Stretching has become a hotly contested topic in the athletic world. Who would have known something so simple could lead to so much debate? For those of you who have seen articles about how the benefits of stretching haven't been proven, don't give up that daily stretching routine you currently follow (and its probably a good idea to start one if you don't already…).
We'll cut straight to the point. What hasn't been proven is the benefit of stretching right before working out. Truthfully, there is a good chance stretching right …
For those who like to do it standing up. Sweat daily that is… Grab your shoes or go barefoot, let's run!
A healthy "you" takes more than exercise. Jump start your journey with these tips and delicious eats.
Of all the investments you can make for getting back in shape or pushing your performance to the next level, a heart rate monitor is one of the best. This monitor allows you to track how fast your heart is beating during your workout, allowing you to know exactly how hard your body is working. This is important for a number of reasons. Let's start out first with how your body works at different heart rates.

- Internships and Summer Research Fellowships. Endowed internships enable students to work in demanding real-world situations and expand upon the knowledge they've gained in the classroom. Summer research fellowships enable students to work in close collaboration with faculty working at the highest level.

This comprehensive plan can evolve over time, allowing you to create win-win solutions for you, your family, and Wesleyan.

Nike's swoosh logo turns 40
The young woman who designed the iconic image received a $35 check for her work. Nike made up for that later.
"I don't love it," chairman Phil Knight said at the time, according to The Oregonian, "but maybe it will grow on me."
And it did. The curvy, uplifting swoosh logo became Nike's signature mark. The image is now so powerful that it's instantly recognized around the world as the symbol of the athletic gear company.
That graphic designer, Carolyn Davidson, received just $35 for her work. Nike made up for it a decade or so later, however, giving her a diamond Swoosh ring and 500 shares of stock. She held on to those shares, and now they're worth a cool $650,000.
Davidson met Knight at Portland State University in the late 1960s, the Oregonian reported. He was an accounting professor and overheard her saying she couldn't afford to take an oil painting class. So he hired her to make charts and graphs for him to use in his side job running a company called Blue Ribbon Sports.
She continued to freelance for Knight's company, creating various graphics and other designs, until Knight asked for a logo for his new line of cleated shoes. It took her a few weeks to develop some finalists for Knight's team. They picked the logo and renamed the company Nike a few weeks later.
And a legend was born. Last year, Nike notched $19 billion in sales. Check out the following video, which shows how Nike is expanding in Brazil and other countries:
Why is it that everytime Nike gets mentioned we have the child labor freaks hitting the comment boards? If companies like Nike can get their products produced at a decent wage in another country, it makes sense to me to produce them abroad. If countries are allowing companies to use forced child labor then take it up with them, or don't buy the product. Fact is...if these products were produced in a US "union" shop, no one except the athletes would be able to afford them, and Nike would have disappeared decades ago!
Not so my friend. The company is New Balance where you can find made in the USA at a decent price. 70% or more of domestic materials and labor are classified "Made in USA". Less than 70% is classified as "Assembled in USA". Don't complain. switch.
