Top Casinos For Celebrities Around The World
by Cheri on April 10, 2013 | Comments Off
Casinos have become popular venues around the world in which people play their favourite casino games. Many people often frequent those casinos that can provide them with certain features they prefer. This is often true for celebrities who will often be sighted at certain casinos. When in the Land Down Under, many celebrities will visit the Crown Casino in Melbourne. Recently, the members of One Direction spent a night at the Crown Casino. Other notable celebrities that have been visitors here include celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Tiger Woods. Actress Rachel Griffiths provided the casino with an interesting opening day when she ran through the complex topless.
The Crown Casino offers visitors 500 table games and 2500 poker machines. The casino does offer the most popular casino table games of blackjack, Pai Gow, American Roulette, European Roulette, poker, baccarat and craps. The Crown Casino does offer another unique casino game which they were the first to introduce. This is the game of rapid roulette. This particular casino game occurs at an electronic gaming screen rather than around a physical table. The touchscreens are connected to the main roulette wheel. The intent behind this particular game is providing customers with easier access. Many celebrities visit the Crown Casino to enjoy this exciting game. Having a game that is exclusive to land-based casinos is a good move nowadays with the prevalence of online casinos like http://www.iPadcasino.com.au/ possibly posing some competition.
When visiting the Crown Casino, many celebrities will still opt to play the more traditional casino games of American and European Roulette at the table. This preference can often be attributed to the excitement that occurs from the players as well as the spectators who surround the roulette table. While both versions are played, the European Roulette variation is the most favourable for players. With one less slot on the wheel, the house's odds are cut in half in comparison to the American Roulette game.
Sex Toys in Pop Culture
by Sarah on October 27, 2012 | Comments Off
Everything eventually finds a way to sink its teeth into pop culture. Whether it be politics or art, it gets there some how and sex toys have certainly been no exception. Seeping through the cracks of pop culture, you can find sex toys in most forms of media and in an increasingly more positive light with each mention. Check out some of these sex toy pop culture mentions throughout the years.
While the Sex and the City series officially ended in 2004–ten years ago–it still continues to make an impact. It helped create an open and positive view of women's sex lives and is the sole reason why the Rabbit vibrator has been one of the best selling vibrators for the past 14 years. Despite countless sex toy mentions throughout the series, the episode, The Turtle and the Hare, where Charlotte becomes obsessed with her Rabbit Vibrator has given the Rabbit unmatched sales in the sex toy industry.
American Pie was just another movie exploiting the ever horniness of the American teenager, but this one went further than the traditional backseat romp fest and made use of homemade sex toys. Forever remembered for the apple scene, where Jim Levenstein uses a pie to get his jollies. I don't really indulging in this masturbatory pastry delicacy though. You'd be better served, less embarrassed and less messy with a jelly sleeve from Adam and Eve.
If you're into celebrities, like really into them, you can now be inside of them, too. Over the past few years, sex doll creators have jumped on the pop culture train by developing celebrity sex dolls. You can now lay the pipe into Lady Gag Gag (Lady Gaga), She Aint No Beyonce (Beyonce), Sarah Jessica Porkher Love Sex in her Shitty (Sarah Jessica Parker), Lindsay (Lohan) Fully Loaded Love Doll, the Crazy Daisy (Jessica Simpson) Love Doll or a Guido/Guidette (Jersey Shore) Love Doll. Have a new celebrity every night in your bedroom. It's only creepy if you have more than 3.
Music continues to migrate towards sexual themes, but OhMiBod picked up on the pairing by creating a sex toy that syncs with your iPod. You can now buzz your way to orgasm with your music. The toy tracks the bass in your music and buzzes along. Just a simple plug and play, if you will.
Sex toys have even creeped themselves into books. This past summer, 50 Shades of Grey took the sexual world by storm and introduced BDSM to the mainstream market. Ben Wa Balls saw a 400%, hardware stores start selling out of rope and zip ties and more sex retailers saw a 50% toys. We're likely to see a flood of erotic books hitting shelves and the impending 50 Shades movie will easily be a blockbuster hit when it comes out thanks to it's ingrained sexual awakening.
What pop culture phenomena will sex toys grab onto next? Moustaches? Gangnam Style? Obama? Oh wait, it already did.
The Bachelorette TV Recap: Emily Maynard's Week 9
by Cheri on July 09, 2012 | 1 Comment
Emily Maynard has whittled down her prospective fiances to three and will thus eliminate another on tonight's episode of "The Bachelorette". Still left in the running are Arie, Sean and Jef, but which is the man who's holding the key to her heart? Is it sexy Arie? How about sweet Jef? Or it could even be funny hottie Sean. We'll keep you posted as we learn the news. For now, we'll be recapping the show live tonight!
Tonight in Curacao, Emily will be able to offer up the Fantasy Suite date cards (from Chris, weirdly enough). It's not an open invitation for a hookup, despite all of the show's attempts to make it appear as such.
Emily doesn't give a Suite card to Arie because she doesn't trust herself with him. Can you blame her? Dude is hot and passionate. She might have to choose him in the end if she goes through with an overnight visit with him. We've all heard the rumors that she chooses Jef Holm as her main man. We've even heard reports that Emily has already moved out of her home in Charlotte and it's up for sale.
Stay tuned for the live recap of the show at 8PM EST!

Dancing With The Stars Semi-Finals Elimination Recap 11/15/11
by Cheri on November 15, 2011 | 1 Comment
The Final Four danced their hearts out to three separate dances last night on Dancing With The Stars. So it's really anyone's guess as to who's going to the Finals!
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough rose to the top of the leaderboard last night, leaving Rob Kardashian in second place, J.R. Martinez in third and soccer player Hope Solo in fourth place.
Here are the scores:
Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Paso Doble / Argentine Tango – Points: 49
J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff – Paso Doble / Argentine Tango – Points: 56
Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke – Samba / Argentine Tango – Points: 65
Ricki Lake & Derek Hough – Samba / Argentine Tango – Points: 67
Our bets are on Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy getting the axe tonight, but it could be up in the air. Perhaps J.R. might want to rest that ankle? He seemed really hurt last night when he danced.
My guess is that J.R. and Ricki are surely going to go all the way! The bottom two is likely going to consist of Rob and Hope…but we're guessing that Rob is going to be safe.
Stay tuned, our flagship website Earsucker will be covering tonight's elimination!
Bruce Willis Made Ashton Kutcher Cry
by Sarah on November 06, 2011 | 1 Comment
Demi Moore's ex-husband, Bruce Willis, has given her current hubby, Ashton Kutcher, a good talking to! So much, in fact, that he started crying! Can you just picture that? Ashton whining like a little girl?
A source said, "Ashton kept avoiding Bruce's calls and texts, but finally agreed to meet his wife's ex-husband at a private location. Bruce was livid! He reamed Ashton for his cheating – and humiliating not just ex-wife Demi, but his three daughters as well."
The snitch went on to say, "He went at Ashton full force, giving him no time to make excuses for his embarrassing behavior, demanding that he get his act together fast! Ashton finally broke down in tears, weeping uncontrollably as he begged forgiveness, He is devastated because Demi's consulted a divorce attorney and begged Bruce to step in and stop her from committing to a separation."
The source continued, "He reportedly vowed to Bruce, 'I will NEVER, EVER cheat again!' Bruce isn't ready to shake hands with Ashton just yet, but he did speak with Demi and advised her that if she decides to try keeping her marriage intact, she should seek traditional marriage counseling – not just the Kabbalah counseling they've been doing."
We're laughing still picturing Ashton weeping like a little girl. Man up douchebucket and stop cheating on your wife.

Christina Hendricks Is Too Busy For Kids
by Cheri on September 13, 2011 | 1 Comment
Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks has revealed that she and husband Geoffrey Arend are too busy to have children.
The happy couple have been married for two years, but she believes that she can't extend her family at the moment because of all of her commitments to work.
When asked if she is ready for children, she said, "Not any time soon. I feel busy enough right now."
She also revealed that her husband helps out around the house. She said, "My husband does so much to help me and I do as much to help him as possible. If one day he's off from work, he'll help me do something – and vice versa. He's an amazing cook."
They'll have children when they get around to it…It's not like they're on anyone's schedule but their own, right?
David Arquette Didn't Want To Live After Courteney Cox Marriage Breakup
by Cheri on September 13, 2011 | 1 Comment
Newly minted Dancing With The Stars competitor David Arquette talked to Ellen DeGeneres about his sobriety and the dissolution of his marriage to estranged wife, Courteney Cox.
The former couple decided to go their separate ways in October 2010, and he said that the heartbreak made him drink more and think about committing suicide.
He said, "We had grown apart for quite a while and I was just really heartbroken over it. I used it as an excuse to accelerate my drinking. You know, to be honest, I didn't want to live anymore."
He went on to reveal, "I didn't know how to deal with these feelings. And part of getting sober, it's really difficult at the beginning. You are confronted with all of these new emotions. You know, you're not good enough."
Thankfully, David was able to move on and is doing much better. He's been keeping himself occupied with his new role on DWTS. He said, "I'm exhausted. I've been dancing for like five hours a day. It's amazing. Every bone aches. I'm started to get a little situation. I did it because I love dancing. A lot of the themes that are involved with dancing are involved with sort of my way of life now. Balance, staying connected to your core, being in touch with everything around you, the flow of life."
He revealed, "And that's what it's sort of about for me. It also gave me an opportunity for people to get to know me. Because they may have preconceived notions of who I am. Just to be out there and have fun and entertain people because I'm an entertainer."
Carson Kressley Thinks Elisabetta Canalis Will Win 'DWTS'
by on September 13, 2011 | 1 Comment
Dancing With The Stars competitor Carson Kressley has revealed who he thinks is going to walk away with the Mirror Ball trophy on the upcoming season of the show. Here's a hint: It's not himself!
According to In Touch Weekly, Carson believes that George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, has a good chance of taking the coveted trophy. He said, "She probably could win. She has long legs, and she's gorgeous – of course she's going to be able to move!"
He also revealed that he's got his eye on another competitor, Ricki Lake. He said, "I think people are discounting Ricki because she is older, but I believe she's going to be great. She has a musical theater background, so I think she is going to be a hidden threat!"
Carson added that he's not threatened by David Arquette's talent, but by his good looks. He said, "I have a little 'man crush' on him. He's like the male version of Demi Moore to me!"
Who do you think has a good shot of winning the Mirror Ball trophy on Dancing With The Stars? Sound off in the comments!
George Clooney & Stacy Keibler Go Public (PHOTO)
by Cheri on September 12, 2011 | 1 Comment
After only dating for a couple of months, George Clooney has decided to go public with his new relationship with former wrestler, Stacy Keibler!
George didn't invite Stacy to the premiere party for his new movie The Ides Of March, but made up for it by walking the red carpet with her for the other movie he's promoting, The Descendants.
RELATED: Stacy Keibler Likes Everything About George Clooney
Don't you just wish that George would settle on a woman who doesn't think she can change him? His last girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, had thoughts of marriage after being with him for two years and even gave an interview about how the tabloids were wrong in that her "boyfriend doesn't want to marry" her. It was shortly afterward that we heard he dumped her.
Do you think his relationship with Stacy is going to last? Or will she start talking about tying the knot within a couple of years, causing him to bolt? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Justin Bieber Wants To Be A Young Father
by Cheri on September 12, 2011 | 1 Comment
Justin Bieber is only seventeen-years-old and has no plans to get married anytime soon, but he did reveal when he wants to start thinking about little Biebers.
The teen singer is currently dating Disney starlet Selena Gomez, but has revealed that he wants to be a young father. He talked to Woman's Wear Daily about fashion, his style icons, his career and among other things, where he thinks he'll be in five years.
On His Future In Fashion: Definitely, I want to eventually start a clothing line or a shoe line, something like that. But nothing is in the works right now. I'm just focusing on my music now.
On His Style Icons: Kanye West. Usher's real cool. He knows way more about fashion than I do. I'm learning from him. He helps me put stuff together and find different designers who I've never heard of. I just got a pair of Fendi sunglasses. I'd never heard of them before. I like Louis [as in Vuitton]. I started wearing their belts and stuff, which I really like [lifting his jacket to reveal an "LV" belt buckle].
On His Style: I try not to do too much. I try to keep it, I'm not sure what the word is – I don't get too dressy. I don't like to dress up. I really like to keep it casual.
On His Career: I never really thought I was going to be like this. I did it for fun at first. Now that it's gotten so crazy, sometimes I look back and think, "Wow! This is crazy." I performed for the President of the United States. That was a wild moment. Winning a VMA, that was a big moment.
On Charitable Causes: I love what I do but I think it's important to give back, especially for me. I was less fortunate. I didn't have a lot. I grew up in geared-to-income housing. It was always rough for me. We went to the food drive all the time. I always thought, "If I ever get rich or famous, I will help people who are less fortunate than me." This year I'm helping with the food drive in my hometown. I'm just trying to do as much as I can with everything I do. With Pencil of Power, we gave $1 for every ticket sold on my tour, which was amazing.
On Where He'll Be In Five Years: [Visibly counting] Well, by 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do — to be successful, to do a movie or whatever. But if the time is right, I definitely want to be married by 25. One thing — I'm not looking to get married now.
Do you think Justin Bieber will be a good dad? Should he marry Selena Gomez? Sound off in the comments! Let us know what you think!

Gender Boy Girl Origin or Ethnicity First Letter A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Meaning: Its source is Yehudith, a Hebrew name meaning "Jewish woman."
This name is sometimes written JudyAnn or Judy Ann.
Origin: "Yehudith."
Alternative Spellings: Judiann, Judianne and Judyanne
Narrative: Another possible meaning is ''He (God) will be praised.''
In the Book of Judith, an apocryphal (or unofficial) scriptural writing, the title character is a Jewish woman who risks her life to save her people.
Judith's village is on the road to Jerusalem. A gigantic Assyrian army under general Holofernes has beseiged it, and things are going poorly for the vilagers. Judith approaches the enemy camp and uses her beauty and charm to ingratiate herself with Holofernes. He invites her to a banquet, where he over-imbibes. She creeps up on the sleeping soldier, draws his sword, and cuts off his head.
Returning to her people, Judith encourages the garrison to make a sortie. The leaderless Assyrians flee before the attacking Jews, never to return in Judith's lifetime.

But this rag-tag bunch has made its way from abandonment to stardom.
Teresa Leslie, the president of the Carroll County Humane Society, said the members of her "Homeless Herd" have now become media hounds. The puppies have been featured on two local radio stations, and this week appeared on Fox 5 for the "Good Day Atlanta" program. Leslie said that the video is now available on the program's website.
Two of the pups are on hold for adoption.
The puppies have come a long way since their discovery last week by a homeless man, who happened upon the abandoned group on Interstate 20 near the Temple exit. They appeared to be between 4 and 8 weeks old, and came from four different litters: seven from a bulldog/boxer mix; two from a Chihuahua litter; six from a Labrador mix, and two from a hound/spaniel litter.
After they were rescued and brought to the Carroll County Animal Hospital, it was discovered that the puppies had several health issues, ranging from worms to a small hernia. David Padgett, the foster care chairman for the Carroll County Humane Society, took it upon himself to foster all 17 puppies and nurse them back to health.
"It's been a handful," Padgett said. "But it's also been kind of fun. Right now, they're all together in one area, so you get bombarded with them. We've never had this many pups at one time."
In addition to their past media adventures, the pups are in for more publicity. On Tuesday, they will again be featured on Fox 5. They will be live in the studio for the "Pet of the Day" feature.
For those who want to get a little more hands-on experience with the puppies, they will make an appearance today on Adamson Square in Carrollton. Leslie said they will be stationed just outside of Horton's Books and Gifts for an adoption event that will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m.
Leslie said she hopes the event and the publicity will help the group "get homes quickly, because they are swamping our foster program."
Luckily for Leslie and Padgett, it seems that will not be a problem. Adoption offers have been pouring in. Two of the puppies, one of the bulldog/boxer mixes and one of the Labrador mixes, are on hold for adoption, and Padgett said his phone has been "blowing up" ever since the media features. Each puppy has its own unique personality — now they just need homes.
It will cost $100 to adopt a member of the "Homeless Herd." This fee covers the pet's general health care. All of the puppies have received up to their second set of shots, have been de-wormed, and will be spayed and neutered.
"Animals don't go out the door without it," Leslie said.
They are scheduled to go to the vet for the procedure next week.
For information regarding the puppies, contact Padgett at 678-378-7040.
Information, including pictures, will also be posted on the Carroll County Humane Society's website, carrollcountyhumane.org, and on Facebook under Carroll County Humane Society.

- Remove SITE_PERL from *_DEPENDS
At the moment 1385 ports use BUILD_DEPENDS= ${RUN_DEPENDS} and 450 ports use BUILD_DEPENDS:= ${RUN_DEPENDS}. This patch fixes ports that are currently broken. This is a temporary measure until we organically stop using := or someone(s) spend a lot of time changing all the ports over. Explicit duplication > := > = and this just moves ports one step to the left Approved by: portmgr
End WWW CPAN URL with a "/"
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they had both lines: Author: ... WWW: .... So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.

Gladstone Ski Hill
Gladstone Sports ParkA few years ago, the City of Gladstone made renovations to the Ski Park adding more than just skiing. The ski hill is a beginner to intermediate with 130' vertical drop, 3 rope tows, 1 wire, and 1 t-bar. A snowboard run with regulation half-pipe, 3 tube runs and lifts were added. This enhanced the activity, now giving more people a chance to use the hill. Also available is the indoor chalet for food and warmth. They have rerouted the Snowmobile Trail that follows the skiing area. The trail has been moved to stay away from activity, greatly minimizing the danger of accidents. The Sports Park is a 40 acre complex which includes 2 ball fields, 5K cross-country trail and ski area which offers skiing, snow board, half pipe and terrain garden, tubing hill, lodge and concessions. The lodge is available for private ski and tube parties in the winter and receptions in the summer. The park is located on North Bluff Drive. Whether it is night or day, spring, summer, or winter or fall, for kids, Delta County has it all. Take a good look at all the fun to be had, when you take a Michigan day trip to Delta County with your Mom and Dad. Delta County - A year round playground for the child in all of us.

Former US Rep. Charlie Wilson of Ohio dies at 70
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson, a Democrat who represented eastern Ohio in Washington for two terms after winning a write-in campaign, died Sunday in a Florida hospital, the Ohio Democratic Party announced. He was 70.
Wilson had suffered a stroke in February while vacationing with his family and was recovering at a rehabilitation center, Democratic Party officials said. He fell ill Saturday night and was admitted to a hospital in Boynton Beach, where he died at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday with his family by his side, the officials said.
Wilson spent 14 years in Columbus and Washington championing for the people of eastern and southeastern Ohio. He secured federal funding for police departments, airport improvements and small business incubators, among other project.
Before being elected to Congress, Wilson served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1997 to 2005. He then served two years in the Ohio Senate.
"I served with Charlie in the State Legislature for six years and he was a loyal friend in good times and bad," Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement. "An outspoken advocate for working people, Charlie never wavered in his service to his constituents or his lifelong pursuit to help improve the lives of others."
Wilson won his first congressional campaign in 2006 as a write-in candidate, filling the seat vacated by Gov. Ted Strickland. He had failed to gather enough petition signatures to qualify for the state's primary, requiring him to run as a write-in for the 6th Congressional District stretching from Youngstown's southern suburbs to the tip of the Ohio River near Portsmouth.
Wilson, who represented a coal-heavy district, served on the House Committee on Science and Technology.
He lost bids for Congress in 2010 and 2012.
U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, who defeated Wilson in 2012, said he was saddened to hear of his death and expressed condolences to his family.
"Although Charlie and I were political opponents, we were never enemies. He served with honor in the Ohio state legislature and in Congress," Johnson said in a statement.
Before entering public service, Wilson was owner of several small businesses throughout the Ohio Valley. He attended Ohio University in Athens and while still in college, worked as a UAW member on the assembly line at the Ford Automotive auto plant in Lorain.
Wilson is survived by four sons, one of whom served as his campaign manager in the 2006 race and went on to succeed him in the Ohio Senate.
"Throughout his extraordinary life, Congressman Wilson was motivated by a desire to serve his country and a passion for the causes most important to the constituents of Southeast and East Ohio," his family said in a statement. "Congressman Wilson served with honor, dignity and an unwavering sense of civic responsibility to the families of our region. Charlie will be remembered for his boundless energy, his honest approach, and his dedication to improving the lives of our future generations."
Funeral arrangements were incomplete.

"WASHEMPLAE" is a bastardization of the phrase "Watch him/them play." I consider a poor argument because it's unfair to ask one person to watch every single team play in order to have an opinion. It's also a subjective way of judging talent. Guy 1: Who is the best QB in the NFL?

I have looked for these pajamas in the stores for years and it dawned on me to look online. I found them and so glad I did.I like this style because the fabric is slick and makes turning over in bed easier. They are feminine with good coverage to wear in front of the children or company. I just bought one pair for the first time since I had never bought online before. Ordering was easy, they were shipped quickly and I was so happy, I have ordered a total of 5 pairs, trying to collect all the colors. I'm still waiting on my 5th pair as they are on backorder. This whole shopping online experience has been awesome. Thank you Rendy Rendy from Minot ND USA

By Greg Campbell
TPNN Contributor
Americans have been hearing the back-and-forth between gun rights activists and anti-gun rights activists for months now. President Obama and Vice President Biden have campaigned in several parts of the country to drum up support for stricter gun control measures that could come in the form of legislative actions or executive orders made unilaterally by the president.
Throughout it all, however, gun rights activists have been vocal in their opposition to both outright bans and calls to strengthen record-keeping on firearm purchases.
Bans on firearms will likely be an uphill battle, but anti-gun rights advocates have attempted to be reassuring in their assertions that bans and universal registry of firearms will not affect ŌĆ£grandfathered-inŌĆØ firearms that are already owned.
However, a recent memo by the Obama Justice Department claims otherwise.
According to a January 4th, 2013, memo from the Obama Justice Department entitled, ŌĆ£Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention,ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Fatalities from mass shootings (those with 4 or more victims in a particular place and time) account on average for 35 fatalities per year. Policies that address the larger firearm homicide issue will have a far greater impact even if they do not address the particular issues of mass shootings.ŌĆØ
After stipulating that gun buybacks are largely ineffective, the memo reports,
ŌĆ£In order to have an impact, large capacity magazine regulation needs to sharply curtail their availability to include restrictions on importation, manufacture, sale, and possession. An exemption for previously owned magazines would nearly eliminate any impact. The program would need to be coupled with an extensive buyback of existing large capacity magazines. With an exemption the impact of the restrictions would only be felt when the magazines degrade or when they no longer are compatible with guns in circulation. This would take decades to realize.ŌĆØ
With regards to an assault weapons ban, the memo concluded,
ŌĆ£Since assault weapons are not a major contributor to U.S. gun homicides and the existing stock of guns is large, an assault weapon ban is unlikely to have an impact on gun violence.ŌĆØ
The memo ultimately flies in the face of the rhetoric put forth by the anti-gun rights advocates as it notes that so-called ŌĆ£assault weaponsŌĆØ are not a major factor in gun violence. Further, the memo, in several instances, stresses that the proposed legislation would be, ultimately, ineffective unless coupled with mandatory ŌĆ£gun buybacksŌĆØ that allow for ŌĆ£no exemptionsŌĆØ and the requiring of gun registry.
The NRA released a video explaining the memo. Chris Cox, the Executive Director of the NRAŌĆÖs Institute for Legislative Action noted that though the Obama Administration has claimed that their proposals are ŌĆ£reasonable,ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£The Obama Administration believes that a gun ban will not work without a mandatory gun confiscation and universal background checks will not work without requiring national gun registration. Still think President ObamaŌĆÖs proposals sound reasonable?ŌĆØ
At a time when the Obama Administration is working to assuage fears amongst Americans that gun confiscation is a possibility, the Justice Department seems to reveal that such action would be the only possible means of seeing results for policies that will likely cost politicians considerable political capital to enact.

Usually the only pants I make or wear are made out of spandex, so I challenged myself by sewing the High Waist Trousers from burda style magazine's February issue. I loved the silhouette, and the high waistline. The single welt pockets also intrigued me, so I cut them in black leather so they would stand out…and added studs!
The main fabric is a lovely printed cotton from Spoonflower. I actually found it in the BurdaStyle fabric closet, and I knew I had to make something awesome from it!

What has this world come to? When/Where did it become okay to divorce our children? Who in their right mind would even consider such a disgusting thing! The day you decided to concieve that child you also chose to commit you entire self to that child for the rest of your life. You can't choose to only be a parent when things are going well, infact it is when things are not going well that your child needs you to be the parent most. I find it very disburbing that our world has become so cold and so weak! It is in weakness that such a stupid conclusion was made. It is throwing in the towel and saying "I don't know how and I am too lazy to put the effort into learning how!" Unfortunately this is what our world has come to. Accepting failure and walking away from it instead of refusing failure and learning how to beat it. You never fail if you are moving forward.
What I find even more sad is that you as a mother can just dis-regard the fact that your son ever existed. Do you not remember carrying him in your belly for 9 months. Do you remember how amazing it was to feel him growing inside of you. Every time he moved and kicked. Do you remember what you fealt the very first time you met him and held him in your arms? The overwhelming feeling of so much love and joy. Do you remember wondering how you can be filled with so much love and not explode? What about the first time he smiled at you or reached out and grabbed your hand, his first steps, his first day at school, his first girlfriend or broken heart. Do you really think that you can walk away from all of this? You see I don't think that you really can. The fact is, this decision will haunt you and your family forever. It will tear you up inside like you can' t even imagine. And you don't even want to know what it will do to your son!! It's okay to not know how to fix this right now. There is plenty of help for you out there, and you are you about to meet one of the best. It is not okay, however, to throw away so much over such little. Don't you think you are your family is worth the struggle? Love is much bigger than hatred and hurt, you just have to be willing to do whatever it takes to fight for it. Parenting is suppose to be unconditional Love for the rest of your lives. Lead by example and your son will eventually follow your lead. Love breaks down the strongest of barriers, but hatred and anger builds them. You have not failed untill you have given up! You have it in you to turn this into something so beautiful, you just to find it. I pray that God will give you and your family the way to a happy life together forever. I pray that he will give you the strength and courage you will need to succeed and I pray that he show you the same kind of unconditional love that you shall share with your son.
Even if you choose to walk away, you will be the mother of this child until the day you die and a mother never forgets her son!!!
praying for you!

Recognizing the significant contributions New Jersey's downtown districts provide by generating economic activity and instilling community pride, Acting Governor Kim Guadagno today visited Rutherford Borough, stopping at shops and businesses on Park Avenue and also conducting a roundtable discussion with the town's small business leaders.
Rutherford's government leaders and business owners have given the downtown a Victorian touch with period-style lampposts and brick paved sidewalks. Flowers planted along the downtown's streets contribute to a bright and pleasing atmosphere for shoppers and residents. Cigarette disposal urns keep cigarette butts off the street and hired workers sweep sidewalks each weekend to keep the downtown clean.
"Rutherford puts a great deal of effort into making its downtown beautiful and clean. This investment not only attracts shoppers and increases revenue for business owners, it also leads to overall community pride," said Acting Governor Guadagno. "Rutherford's commitment to the success and beautification of its downtown contributes to a cooperative spirit among residents and business owners. This spirit helps promote success, improve the town's economy and create jobs."
"I am pleased to welcome Acting Governor Guadagno to Rutherford," said Rutherford Mayor Joseph DeSalvo. "We are proud of our community and especially proud of our downtown. Our downtown is far more than a place for merchants to do business. Sure we have retailers, but we also have professionals, restaurants, music studios and even a three-screen movie theater that was at one time a vaudeville theater. Rutherford's downtown, like most other New Jersey downtowns, automatically becomes the face of the community. We look forward to Acting Governor Guadagno's visit being a catalyst to identify areas where state and local governments can work together even more closely, coordinating resources, to enhance the value that our downtowns bring to our communities."
Rutherford holds many events and promotions to attract visitors and shoppers downtown. Its Labor Day Street Fair has drawn as many as 40,000 people. Business owners hold late night shopping events and free gift wrapping during the holidays.
"In today's economic climate, downtowns are not automatically prosperous and successful," said Richard J. Allen, Jr., president of the Rutherford Chamber of Commerce. "They need to be nurtured and supported. That's why the Rutherford Chamber was one of the first backers of the Business Improvement District. The District provided ways to allow the various downtown stakeholders to work together. As we said when we created the District, it's like the old saying 'a rising tide raises all boats'. The District might not directly benefit any one business, but working together through the mechanisms created by our Business Improvement District we can make the downtown as a whole lot better. That means more people in the Downtown. The translates to more customers for our businesses, more demand for space that helps increase rental and property values for our property owners and an attractive sense of place that enhances the quality of life of our residents."
The Acting Governor stopped in on Lanni Appliances at 116 Park Avenue, Goffin's Hallmark at 64 Park Avenue, and Park Avenue Pet Center at 33 Park Avenue.
"Not only is Rutherford a wonderful town for a small business, it's a great place to live, too," said Carol Tantullo, who owns Park Avenue Pet Center with her husband. "There is a real sense of community here in Rutherford. We couldn't imagine having our business anywhere else."
To help small businesses in New Jersey grow, create jobs and increase investment and expansion, Governor Christie enacted small business tax cuts saving New Jersey small businesses $2.3 billion over five years. The tax reforms included an option for taxpayers to carry forward losses from certain business-related categories of gross incomes and a 25% reduction in the minimum tax for S-Corporations. The Governor has also continued to advance policies to further improve New Jersey's business climate by changing the corporate business tax formula from a three-factor formula to a single sales factor formula that incentivizes businesses located in New Jersey; sunsetting the corporate business tax surcharge; signing business attraction legislation; and protecting businesses from an average $400 per employee, or 52% increase in the unemployment insurance payroll tax.
Acting Governor Guadagno hosts a series of events that highlight state resources for business growth available to business owners. These events give business owners the opportunity to interact with representatives from a dozen or more agencies. Along with the U.S. Small Business Administration, the New Jersey Business Action Center funds the Small Business Development Center Network to provide counseling at no or minimal charge for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. The Red Tape Review Commission, chaired by the Acting Governor, has dedicated public meetings to the needs of small business and non-profits organizations. One of the signature accomplishments of the Commission was passage of the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Act, which updates and simplifies the framework under which LLCs – the most popular business formation in NJ – are established and operate.
The New Jersey Partnership for Action (PFA) supports the vital role business plays in advancing the state's economy and creating jobs. Led by Acting Governor Guadagno, the PFA is a three-pronged public-private approach to economic development and the starting point for all initiatives, policies, and efforts to grow New Jersey's economy and create quality, sustainable jobs in our communities. The three elements of the PFA include the Business Action Center, reporting directly to the Acting Governor and providing the business community with a single point of contact, applying a proactive, customer-service approach to businesses' interactions with State government; the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, serving as the state's "bank for business"; and Choose New Jersey, an independently funded and operated 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation created to encourage and nurture economic growth throughout New Jersey.
