I've got my prom on Wednesday and i wanted to get my nose and bellybutton pierced tomorrow. I've got my bellybutton pierced before so that's not the problem, but i wondered if it's true they get infected from fake tan? Also, I'm very worried about the fact that some people say nose piercings swell up and go red for the first few days. Is this true and if so, will it go down by my prom on wednesday? please help:( P.S im 16 and my parents have agreed

My 10 year old step daughter has been placed in care with her neighbour due to suffering physical and mental abuse by my ex. Trouble is, she is now sharing a room with an 11 year old boy. also, the 'carer' is a disabled woman who's 15 year old son is HER registered carer as she is incapable of looking after herself.
Now to me, that means that Social Services have basically placed my step daughter in the care of a 15 year old boy.
Am I reading too much into this or am I totally beside myself about this for a reason?
May I add that I refer to her as my step daughter for clarity, but I consider her to be my daughter and always will.
My 4 year old, even though she has also suffered mental and physical abuse, has been left with her mother for further abuse due to the fact she's too young to stand up for herself so isn't considered as much at risk even though there is evidence to prove it is still ongoing.

I have two big planters in front of my home which had plants in it that died. The owner didn't keep the water on while the house was up for sale. The planters already have a watering system in place. I was told that all I would need to do is remove the dirt from the planters, put in soil, and then plant my annuals. Is this correct? Do I have to remove ALL of the dirt or can I do the bottom half dirt, the top half soil? Also, since I live in the desert I think annuals would be easiest and once the annuals die, do I need to remove the soil they were in or just the dead plant and put in a new one?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_war


The Vietnam War claimed more than just victims overseas - at home it claimed reforms aimed at lifting millions of people out of poverty.

Almost 3 million Americans served in Vietnam. Between 1965 and 1973 the United States spent $120 billion on the war. This resulted in a large federal budget deficit. The war demonstrated that no power, not even a superpower, has unlimited strength and resources. But perhaps most significantly, the Vietnam War illustrated that political will, as much as material might, is a decisive factor in the outcome of conflicts.


Aftermath for Vietnam people
More than one million Vietnam people became boat people, about one million was imprisoned in concentration camps, more than
100,000 killed.


Mr. McNamara’s studies in philosophy and especially morals and ethics allowed him to understand the principles of these ideas and rationalize them, perhaps even have regrets in terms of his failure to follow them within the institutional setting he served in. His desperate need to find favor in the eyes of his superiors led him to fulfill wishes and orders he did not agree with, yet he did not follow his conscience and quit. Had he done so, perhaps President Johnson would have quit earlier also. Since President Johnson did not run for re-election once McNamara was gone, perhaps this acted as an indicator that the whole mess could have been wrapped up much earlier without the tragedy of the outcome: 3.27 million Vietnamese dead, the equivalent representation of 27 million Americans in terms of population size comparison ratios at the time.

1. Had a conversation taken place, many lives (58,00 American/ 3.27 million Vietnamese) would have been saved from needlessly being wasted to support the Military Industrial Complex. (“Why We Fight”, 2005)

Awarding a knighthood to SALMAN RUSHDIE has definitly exasperated muslims.

Assassination calls have been made for both of them.

Do you think its right to award such controversial personalities.

I personally think this can spread violence...what do you say?

I have two baseball cards that have no marks on them except for the names of the players and "made in the USA" on the bottom right hand corner.

They are both in black and white. They also have no stats or anything on the back, but are made of cardboard.

One is of Whitey Ford and the other is of Gil Hodges.

I've tried to find the selling price of them, but so far every site wants me to buy a membership to see the different prices on hundreds of cards. I really need help with this, because I'm not going to let them go without finding the real value

I call myself agnostic, but I often wonder if its a mislabel. I'm not an idiot (which is why I don't believe in God anyway) and I do understand the gist between the 2 terms. I won't walk up to someone and tell them there in no God, but at the same time if the argument arises, I will give my best explanation of why I believe there is no God. Is that atheism or agnosticism? I will be happy to give more details if requested. PLEASE no Jesus freak answers, I don't need your scripture, bible, or your propaganda.

I gather this impression from the sheer number of online magazines, websites featuring business and technical content and other news stories emerging from China. Xinhua, Shanghai Daily, China Business Review, People.com.cn all have English subscriptions.

While 4-5 year back there was practically none of this available, it seems no longer the case - a lot of information about China is now available in English making it easier for foreigners.

On a comparative scale, I found the English websites from China to be more in numbers and quality strength compared to many other non-English countries - comparable to Russia, Germany and Scandinavian countries and better than Italy, France or Brazil which tend to have more content in their local languages.

Also it shows in Wikipedia that most youngsters in Shanghai are comfortable in English as it is now compulsarily taught in middle school - does that mean a high level of "street fluency"?

I guess I'm impressed there's way to go !

I know it is a nice school but was wondering what would be a good GPA, SAT scores, and extra curriculars to have to have a good shot.

And what is out of state tuition I know it is where you go to college outside of your state but how long do you have to be there before it is considered your home od you have to be born there?

And how much more is it?

SATAN'S MEETING:

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In
his opening address he said,

"We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."


"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate
relationship with their saviour."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our
power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have
their covered dish dinners BUT steal their time, so
they don't have time to develop a relationship with
Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour
and maintaining that vital connection throughout
their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and
invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,"
he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and
the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours
a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will
offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear
that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they drive."

To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home and see to it that every
store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical
music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with
Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter
and promotional offering free products, services and
false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and
TV so their husbands will believe that outward
beauty is what's important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at
night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they
need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from
teaching their children the real meaning of
Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about
his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect
on God's creation.

Send them to amusement parks, sporting events,
plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip and small talk so that they
leave with troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they
have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their health and family for the good of
the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed,
going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of
Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been
successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!

I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they
love Jesus.

Do You Love Him?

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!
