I did some spring cleaning and I am giving away a FREE PROM DRESS! If you know of someone who might need one but can’t really afford one this is perfect! I don’t have a size since I had it made for me but I would say it fits someone small-medium, I’m about a size 4-6. Plus it can be altered. You would also need to get it dry cleaned since I didn’t and it is still dirty from the bottom since it reached the floor. The dress is about 4 years old but still in great condition. Please only serious inquiries...I’m giving it away at no cost so I don’t want to waste time either. I want it gone ASAP! :)
The Ugly American essay of the millenium
In five years, we built the Hoover Dam. From 1931 to 1936, the Colorado River was diverted with tunnels blasted into the Black Canyon walls, a town was built to house a small army of workers laboring in the desert, and 3 1/4 million cubic yards of concrete were poured into a dam reaching 726 1/2 feet high - two years ahead of schedule.
It’s hard to look back at this monumental effort without a feeling of envy. The dam was completed on the backs of desperate men during the Great Depression, but from this remove, it looks like an apotheosis of the can-do spirit. Who believes we could do something similar today, that political bickering, governmental bungling, Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, lawsuits and environmental objections wouldn’t make such a project all but impossible?
In the 1930s, the Empire State Building was built in 410 days; more than five years after 9/11, the World Trade Center site still features a gaping hole. It might be the fate of President Bush to be remembered as the emblem of an Age of Cynicism, when - despite many encouraging economic and social indicators - we experienced a deep public funk, driven by the feeling that government couldn’t be trusted to do anything, at least not well.................
People in general can no longer be trusted to do anything, at least not well.
And why is it that everyone’s listening to a bunch of people in this country ILLEGALLY, marching around with Mexican flags DEMANDING things of OUR government but OUR elected officials are just blowing US off????????????????????
SondraK, Lympian Slayer The stench of dung stopped anti-Kremlin protestors rallying in the Russian city of Murmansk on Tuesday, an opposition activist said.
Opponents of President Vladimir Putin had hoped to rally on the porch of the Culture Palace but city authorities closed the building, took away the porch’s steps and spread dung around it, said Yelena Vasilyeva, local leader of the United Civil Front opposition movement.
“The stench was so strong you couldn’t breathe, so only the most tenacious stayed,” she said.
Dung was spread around a landmark building to fertilise the land, said a police spokesman in Murmansk, a city not far from Russia’s borders with Norway and Finland.Around 150 people braved the smell and carried on with the protest shouting.........

Norman Bates: [speaking as his mother] It is sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. I can’t allow them to think I would commit murder. Put him away now as I should have years ago. He was always bad and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man, as if I could do anything but just sit and stare like one of his stuffed birds. They know I can’t move a finger and I want to just sit here and be quiet just in case they suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching....they’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know, and they’ll say, “Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly.”
According to Linda Capper, representative for the British Antarctic Survey, the Antarctic leg of the Live Earth Show will not be a “Major Concert” as Al Gore once promised. In fact according to Linda: “We have a house band--five of our science team. They are very good indie rock-folk fusion.”
The Rothera Research Station is under British jurisdiction, and home to only 22 winter residents. July 7th is mid winter down there and it is completely inaccessible by plane or boat. But that didn’t deter the Oscar winning star of An Inconvenient Truth. Back in February, Gore’s office contacted the BAS requesting a flight into Rothera. The questioned Linda “about the possibility to fly an artiste [no-one specific] into to the research station in July.” When Al Gore was informed that July is winter in Antarctica, and completely inaccessible, Linda Capper suggested letting the scientists play. She actually sent a cameraman down to Rothera in March on one of the last flights of the season, to film a video of the band.
The band is called Nunatak, which is a Greenlandic word for an exposed summit of a ridge mountain or peak not covered with snow. As for audience, according to Linda: The remaining 17 [residents] will be the audience on location.

A judge had to leave the courtroom with tears running down his face Tuesday after recalling the lost pair of trousers that led to his $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaner.
U.S. and Iraqi forces on Tuesday raided a lollipop factory being used to make bombs, finding boxes of explosives and two tons of fertilizer in the basement of the facility in northern
Iraq, an Iraqi officer said.The entry room to the al-Arij factory was booby-trapped and the building was empty because the workers fled after apparently being tipped off to the raid, according to the officer, army commander Brig. Gen. Nour al-Din Hussein. He said an anti-aircraft gun was hidden on the roof.
Hussein, commander of Iraq’s 4th Brigade, said the Christian owner of the lollipop factory was killed three years ago. He said the facility was currently rented to people whom police refused to identify for security reasons.
The troops, who found candy boxes filled with explosives, oxygen cylinders and two tons of fertilizer in the basement, spent three hours destroying the payload in controlled blasts in an industrial area of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Bodies are often found in the area, located in the city’s eastern section. The U.S. military said it was looking into the report.

A G-string or a G-Thong or thong, a narrow piece of cloth or leather that covers the genitals and passes between the buttocks and which stays in place by a band around the hips, remains one of the most popular form of underwear/lingerie worn by women. So when I heard about the C-String, a much sexier version of G-String where according to the promotional blurb, it is “sexy, elegant and completely unique” by ears perked up and I definitely wanted to test drive the C-String.
So, I go ahead and order the C-string for myself, one in pink and one in black. So, let me describe the C-String for you. When I first see it, I think its some uneven shaped wired headband … well, I guess thats where it gets its name - C shape.
It is a further evolution of the G-string. It is as narrow as a traditional G-string but without the band around the waist. It is just a “c shaped” piece between the legs and is firmly held in place by a flexible internal frame both securely and comfortably. Your modesty remains safely covered at all times. . Since there is no material around the waist, the c-string lingerie completely eliminates panty lines which underwear and even G-string thongs create.
Still thinking by seeing the pictures as to how the C-string holds up? Think of the front part as a thong style pair of knickers and again held up by a little bit of wire at the back. A headband which you wear on the bottom!
