After 11 years, Dundalk mother,Brenda Wahaidy, is reunited with Kidnapped son, Adam Wahaidy. WBALTV is reporting.

"After 11 Years, Mother Reunites With Kidnapped Son

BALTIMORE -- A decade-long nightmare has finally come to an end for a Dundalk mother and her family.

Eleven years ago, Brenda Wahaidy's then-5-year-old son, Adam, was kidnapped by his father and taken to Egypt.

On Wednesday, Adam, who is now 16, returned to the United States and reunited with his family. WBAL TV 11 News reporter Lowell Melzer was at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., for the reunion.


Melzer said Adam doesn't have any memory of his mother and speaks very little English.

Brenda Wahaidy said she has been waiting to reunite with her son for more than a decade.

"Everything has been very hard for me, and I'm sure for him, as well," she said.

Melzer said she could hardly contain herself at the airport as she waited for Adam.

"I'm hoping I'm still standing......"



Just an Amazing Story!!!

Ratatouille - Remy the Paris Rat stars in this Great Movie by PIXAR!

Ratatouille:
"Remy (Patton Oswalt), a resident of Paris, appreciates good food and has quite a sophisticated palate.

When he winds up in the sewer beneath one of Paris' finest restaurants, the rodent gourmet finds himself ideally placed to realize his dream."



If there is one movie coming out that you need to see, it is this one! You can not miss this movie! It is for all ages and is going to be a blockbuster! I can't wait to drag my husband to it:)

This movie got GREAT reviews on every movie site and PIXAR did another GREAT job with this one!

Suicide Bombers / Terrorists Bomb Defused / Deactivated by Police in London!

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Police in London say they have deactivated a bomb packed with nails and capable of creating huge casualties, raising renewed fears of a terrorist strike almost two years after the city was hit by deadly suicide bombers."





Wow, just 2 years after their city was devistated by a a suicide bomber! I am so glad they caught this before it went off!

Apple iPhone release! www.apple.com has all the answers!

Have you seen this phone? It is down right amazing! I want to get one so bad, but can't afford it of course..haha.. Apple says the following about their new phone:

"iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply tapping a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want — just like email."

I was watching MSNBC last night and saw one of the guys they interviewed had an iPhone and was sharing some of the features with the host. I couldn't believe all that it does, but I heard they are possibly coming out with a new version around Christmas, that would be just like Apple to do that.. They come out with new models ALL the time!

But hey... I'm not complaining.. their products are great!!!!

My Review of "the thinking blog!" Great site!

First of all, I don't even feel worthy of reviewing the graphic design of this blog, considering I am still using a sorry blogger template, but here are my 2 cents anyways. When I first visited "the thinking blog" I didn't feel like I was at some boring blog, which is a very GOOD thing! There are so many blogs out there that feel like they are just thrown together, and "the thinking blog" definitely doesn't feel that way at all! The layout, break down of post categories, ads, content, etc. all make this blog feel like you are really engaging yourself in something more than just a typical blog! I know that as soon as I figure out more about blogging, and how to change my design, I will try to learn from a lot of things I see on "the thinking blog."

I mentioned briefly that I liked the layout. Let me explain a little more as to why I said that. The main reason I say that the layout really adds to the overall appeal of "the thinking blog" is because it is so user friendly. Yes, blogger templates are very user friendly as well, but "the thinking blog's" layout is user friendly while also feeling more professional and not as cheap as some free templates.

Along with being user friendly, there are also great options along the top of the screen that help break down the different categories of posts. While most new bloggers will not have enough posts to probably need all of these options, it really helps an advanced bloggers site like "the thinking blog." It also helps their readers, who are looking to read posts on certain issues instead of having to search through hundreds of posts that aren't filed in any order.

The third thing that might seem small to some, but really stands out to me, is the ads and sponsors. When you go to any popular website or blog, you typically see some sort of advertisements and sponsors. When I was first browsing through "the thinking blog" one thing that really helped make it feel very credible was the sponsors and ads. I am not saying that all sites with ads and sponsors are credible, but "the thinking blog" uses them and places them in a tasteful way, where it doesnt get in the way of your overall blog reading experience.

Lastly, I really enjoyed the overall content of "the thinking blog." The information and posts come from a variety of angles and are on many different issues, which makes it more interesting than a lot of blogs. Also, for the most part, the posts are written in a very engaging and even witty manor, which draws the reader in. A good example of one of the posts that I felt was very engaging was "Being a Good Parent." Maybe this post caught my attention because my husband and I are expecting our first child in October, but I felt like it was very well written and had many great points!

When it comes to finding areas of possible improvement, it is very difficult considering I am so new to the blogging world. However, I did agree with another reviewer that there could be more "how too" posts. But, my suggestion would be to not only have more "how too" posts, but also to possibly make it a category at the top of the page, where bloggers could easily find the "how too" posts.

Overall, I think having the opportunity to review "the thinking blog" really helped me more than I thought. It got me to really think critically about what I want in my own blog and where I want direction I want to go with it.

Please take the time to help a fellow blogger and review "the thinking blog!" Not only will you be helping out a fellow blogger, but you will also be helping yourself... I know you are asking yourself, "how am I helping myself?"... Well, there is a great offer that "the thinking blog" is having right now! By reviewing "the thinking blog," you will have the opportunity to win a FREE re-design of your blog! I know I am personally hoping that I might get the re-design, as I don't know much about how to do it, and my blog can clearly use some design help:) Don't miss out on this opportunity, check out "the thinking blog" today, review it, and make your self eligilbe for the FREE re-design of your blog!

Great blog!!

If you want to read a great blog, you have to check out Helen Chatter!!! I was recently surfing blogs and ran across this one. I would highly suggest heading over to her blog and checking it out!! The layout and content is very well done and professional! Check it out today!

Import blog into Facebook!

I found this information at Ask Owen, a very informational blog!

"Importing your blog posts into FaceBook is really easy .. once you know how. Here’s how to do it:

First of all you’ll need to log into FaceBook. Do this in the normal way, then have a look at the screen youare presented with. If you look on the left hand side of your screen you’ll see a menu list of different Applications you have associated with your account. This starts off as a simple list, but as you add more Applications the list will grow longer. Your application list can be quite long, but one of the options in the menu is called Notes and this is the one you’re after. Click on this to proceed to the next step.

Your Notes page will show you a number of different notes that your contacts might have added to their profile (or nothing if you don’t have many friends). This will include both Notes typed on FaceBook and also posts from their blogs if they are using this technique. Don’t worry about what’s on this page for now, just look on the right hand side of the page and you’ll see a section called Notes Settings. Look for a link that says Import a blog and click this to proceed to the next step. You will then be presented with the following form:



Enter the URL to your blog in the text box. It doesn’t need to be your RSS feed, as FaceBook will figure this out on it’s own. You’ll have to tick the disclaimer underneath the URL and then just click Start Importing.

You’re done! I told you it wasn’t hard!"

President Bush's Immigration Bill Killed / Defeated By Congress

"Senate immigration bill suffers crushing defeat," is what CNN.com's headline reads.

"The tally was 46 to 53, 14 votes shy of the 60 needed to end debate.

The president, who visited the Capitol this month to push hard for overhauling the nation's immigration laws, delivered a brief statement shortly after the vote saying he was "sorry" Congress could not reach agreement, calling its "failure to act" a "disappointment."

"Congress really needs to prove to the American people that it can come together on hard issues," Bush said.

The bill aimed to create a path to citizenship for some of the 12 million illegal immigrants and to toughen border security.

Garnett and Stoudemire involved in HUGE trade between Suns, Timberwolves, and Hawks!

The Hawks would get the #3 and #11 picks in the draft.

The Suns would get Kevin Garnett.

The Timberwolves would get Amare Stoudemire.


This is what Sports Center just reported... HOWEVER, Just wait 1 minute! On ESPN.com they are saying this isnt a done deal!

Here is what is now being said on ESPN.com

"The Minnesota Timberwolves' attempts to get a great deal for Kevin Garnett hit a major roadblock on Wednesday afternoon, sources told ESPN.com.

According to multiple sources, the Timberwolves have been talking to multiple teams about finding a third team to help facilitate a Garnett trade.

As ESPN.com reported on Tuesday evening, Minnesota was looking to acquire Atlanta's No. 3 and No. 11 picks in the draft along with several cap-friendly contracts from the Hawks and Phoenix Suns. To participate, Atlanta wanted Amare Stoudemire from Phoenix.

On Wednesday, sources say one of the Hawks owners vetoed a hypothetical deal for Stoudemire.

The Suns claim to have never had any direct contact with the Hawks about a deal. While they have shown strong interest in acquiring Garnett, the deal never reached a stage where they were asked by either team to give up Stoudemire and never offered him in a trade.

While teams like the Lakers and Suns will continue to pursue Garnett, and the Wolves seem intent on trading him, sources say that it's unlikely a deal goes down by the time of the draft.

The latest drama in the KG saga shows some of the perils of dealing with the Hawks -- arguably the most dysfunctional franchise in the league.

The Hawks ownership group, Atlanta Spirit LLC, is embroiled in a nasty lawsuit with former partner Steve Belkin. Belkin won a lawsuit against Atlanta Spirit LLC last summer and a judge ruled that he could buy out the owners of Atlanta Spirit and gain full ownership of the team. Atlanta Spirit is currently appealing the ruling.

In the meantime, Belkin holds some authority over the team. He can veto any trade or free agent signing that takes the team above the NBA salary cap. Several sources suggested that it was Belkin who vetoed the trade.

This fiasco isn't the only situation the Hawks are dealing with. Sources said that Hawks general manager Billy Knight is in a dispute with some of the Hawks owners over who to take at No. 3. Knight prefers Florida's Al Horford. Some in the Hawks ownership, including influential owner Michael Gearon Jr., want to draft Yi Jianlian out of China."

Greg Oden Drafted #1! Portland Blazers confirm!

So, I was just watching ESPN and they confirmed that the Blazers have contacted Greg Oden's camp and told him they are taking him #1 in tomorrows draft! It is not very common that 2 guys, Durrant and Oden, set themselves SO far apart from the rest of the draft field! It is even less common for a team to promise you the #1 draft spot before the draft rolls around. I know this happens in some sports, but not basketball, usually. If you want to hear more on this subject, turn to ESPN, they are running it all night!

'Roid rage' questions surround Benoit murder-suicide

CNN's full story!

FAYETTEVILLE, Georgia (CNN) -- The discovery of anabolic steroids in pro-wrestler Chris Benoit's home has raised speculation that the performance-enhancing drugs may be linked to his death and the killings of his wife and young son.

The 40-year-old champion strangled his wife, Nancy Benoit, and suffocated his 7-year-old son Daniel, authorities said, before he hanged himself on a portable weight machine inside his lavish home outside Atlanta. Police have said no motive has been determined.

"A lot of prescription medication" was found in the home, including anabolic steroids, said Fayette County Sheriff Lt. Tommy Pope. (Watch the house where Chris Benoit, police say, killed his wife and son )

But authorities were still waiting on toxicology reports, which could take several weeks, to determine what, if any, medication was found in the bodies.

Chris Benoit was a pro-wrestler for 22 years and star of World Wrestling Entertainment, which strongly denounced any suggestion that steroid use could be connected to the tragedy.

The WWE said Benoit tested negative for drugs during an independently administered evaluation on April 10.

CNN Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said Wednesday that it may never be known whether the deaths were linked to steroids or so-called "roid-rage."

"The drugs said to be found in the home are a synthetic form of testosterone," Gupta said. "A lot of people use it to build muscle mass, but there are longstanding known relationships between the steroids and roid rage. It could lead to psychosis and anti-social behavior and depression."

But the WWE said evidence gathered in the investigation indicates "deliberation, not rage."

"The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death," said a statement posted on the company's Web site. "By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage."

Investigators found the bodies of Nancy and Daniel Benoit with Bibles placed next to them, authorities have said. "The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage," said the WWE.

Former professional wrestler Del Wilkes said athletes use steroids to gain strength and size, which are key to success in the wrestling world. But he warned that the drugs sometimes come with "moments of uncontrollable rage."

"You can feel it coming on but there's nothing you can do about it," Wilkes said. "The next thing you know, a minor argument has gone into a full-fledged rage, when you've got your hands around somebody's neck. You're in a fight and doing things you wouldn't normally do."

Wilkes also said the drugs can also cause "tremendous" depression "when guys are coming off steroids after they've been on it for a long period of time."

An official who is part of the investigation told CNN that Benoit's name was on receipts that indicated he had purchased shipments of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones from Signature Pharmacy, an Orlando, Florida, facility that is at the center of a nationwide investigation into the sale of illegal steroids.

As the investigation unfolded Wednesday, details about events inside the home began to emerge.

Needle marks were found in Daniel's arm, said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said authorities suspect "that the boy had been taking growth hormones for quite some time," and are hoping to prove that with toxicology. The boy, Ballard said, was diagnosed with a form of dwarfism.

Daniel was found face down on his bed, but authorities said they do not know whether he was sleeping when he was killed. Ballard said authorities believe the child was asphyxiated using a choke hold. Benoit hung himself using the cord on a portable weight machine, Ballard said.

Ballard said Nancy Benoit's body was found face down on the floor in an upstairs family room, wrapped in a blanket with her feet and wrists bound and blood under her head.

Two days before Benoit and his family were found dead, the wrestler told co-workers by phone his wife and son were sick with food poisoning and he had been having a stressful day, according to the WWE.

Chris Benoit left no suicide note, Pope said, but had sent text messages to a co-worker early Sunday, which was received several hours later. He refused to divulge the contents of the messages.

The WWE, however, said the five text messages were sent to co-workers between 3:51 a.m. and 3:58 a.m. using both Chris Benoit's and Nancy Benoit's cell phones. Four of them were the Benoits' address; the fifth said that the family's dogs were in the enclosed pool area and noted a garage side door was open.

The WWE said it made numerous attempts to contact Chris Benoit at his home and at Atlanta-area hospitals. At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, it learned of the text messages and contacted police, the statement said.

"In a community like this, it's just bizarre to have a murder-suicide, certainly involving the death of a 7-year-old child," Ballard told reporters. "I think that's what I'm struck by most ... there's a 7-year-old boy who is dead."

Chris Benoit once had been arrested on a charge of driving under the influence in another Fayette County jurisdiction, authorities said, but had no other criminal record.

CNN learned that divorce papers for the couple were filed in Fayette County in 2003, but the divorce never took place. Ballard said it was his understanding that a protection order was sought in 2003, but later dismissed. He had he had not seen the filings.

CNN's Rusty Dornin and Adam Reiss contributed to this report.

Girl Loses Feet as they are cut off / Severed on Six Flags ride!

OUCH!!! My husband and I both have season passes to Six Flags over Texas and we ride on the Tower of Power ALL the time!!! Well, before I got pregnant:) This story just makes me shiver to think that someone got hurt this bad, on a ride I have been on a million times!!!!

According to CNN.com, "the Injured girl is in stable condition in Nashville, Tennessee, after the girl had both of her feet severed / cut off on a ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kindom in Louisville"



Authorities are not releasing whether or not the girl had her feet reattached, and family members are saying that no one from the park has contacted them. Six Flags obviously denies this, saying they have had staff at the girls bed side for quite a bit of time.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, my feet hurt just thinking about this story!!!!!

WWE Wrestler, Chris Benoit, wife, and son, dead! Murder suicide! Steroids

WOW! Famous WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit and his family were found dead!



"WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide."

Is this another case of steroids messing with people's minds and making them go mad? I am clearly not a huge wrestling fan, but this story is crazy! This type of story really reminds me that having all the money in the world can't buy happiness! I don't have much but I do have a loving husband, family, a steady job, and the Lord!.. and I am as happy as I could ever be! I don't need all the money and fame... I mean, look at how it ended up here.. someone who looks like they have everything anyone could want, and bang.. it's over just like that... and for what? Very sad!

Check out Darin.CC! Great all around site!

While I am not a huge internet guru, I can tell a good site when I see one. I was recently surfing the web when I ran across a blog that caught my attention. There are not many blogs that catch my attention, but this one definitely did!

Not only is it a very well layed out blog, but Darin.CC has very interesting topics to read about. It is a blog about Search Engine Marketing. Darin.CC is running a special offer, right now, where you can review his blog and you could win a Free Nintendo Wii in the process!

The layout of Darin.CC blog is great! I know my blog is not as eye catching and professional, but I hope to have one that is some day! Also, while some people seem to be annoyed by ads, I think they catch your attention and do a great job of getting you to click on them to read more! I know it is something very simple, but I really like how he has tabs at the top for "home," "about me," etc. I think this adds to the professionalism of his site a lot!

Increase Your Page Rank! Google

I have read Ilker Yoldas ideas from The Thinking Blog. "He uses the ALT tags inside image links to increase page relevance. These keywords placed inside image links in ALT tags increase the value of the link due to the weightage given to these tags by search engine spiders."

Ilker Yoldas says "Moreover, when optimizing a site/web page for Google, remember that this attribute is taken into great consideration by Googlebot when spidering and indexing your pages. Thus, the ALT tag of an hyperlinked image tag has the same importance of a text link."


———Copy and paste the VIRAL-ICONS and instructions below this line———

Instructions:

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “Viral Icons” below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from The Thinking Blog. TIP : Easy way to do this : When viewing this page in browser go to View----->Page Source (CTRL+U) in Firefox and View------>Source in Internet Explorer. This page source will open in a Notepad file. Just copy all between the lines "———Copy and paste the VIRAL-ICONS and instructions below/above this line———".
Then paste it in Edit Html tab of post editor when creating your post.


2) Make a favicon for your blog.

3.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16x16 pixels) to any free hosting service to any free hosting service, Googlepages Googlepages or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one. Then copy down it's link : LINK OF YOUR FAVICON.

4.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the “Viral Icons” in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.

5.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their “Viral Icons”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon’s code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.

6.) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

President Bush Predicts victory in key immigration bill!

www.CNN.com is just reporting "Senators urging the passage of a bill that would legalize millions of illegal immigrants hope to revive bipartisan support for the embattled measure and push it to passage by week's end.
President Bush's team is predicting victory Tuesday on the effort to allow the bill -- among the president's top domestic priorities -- to go forward."

I think this is a huge step forward, as far as immigration goes! If you have not kept up on the immigration issues we are facing, you need to start to read up on this issue!

Why is Paris Hilton Crying? She is out of Jail! Larry King gets 1st interview!

CNN.com's TOP story is Paris Hilton getting out of jail! If you see this article, you will puke! It has this sappy picture of her and her mom hugging... NOT only hugging, but CRYING! It is like she was locked up in prison for years after being wrongfully convicted for murder.. But NOOO, it was just after serving 23 days for something she actually DID do wrong!

"Hotel heiress Paris Hilton walked out of a Los Angeles-area jail early Tuesday with a big smile on her face after serving 23 days for violating her probation on a reckless driving conviction.... She has fulfilled her debt to society and it's now concluded." said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Hilton is scheduled to give her first post-jail television interview on Wednesday on CNN's "Larry King Live" show, after ABC and NBC last week dropped rival offers."

Give me a break! It was great to see our justice system hold a celebrity accountable for once! Hopefully this starts a trend of our courts making sure that stars get punished for their wrong doings, just like the rest of us!

AND, now that she is out, she is getting PAID a TON of money to sit down and give us her post-jail interview! She has NOT paid her debt, she owes me the last 2 months of my life back, after I have had to see her face on my TV screen EVERY time it turns on!!haha...

Kevin Garnett, KG, Traded to Lakers for Kobe!?!

Well, it isn't a done deal, but it does seem to be in the works.... I personally would hate to see a class act guy, like KG, go to the whining Lakers and would even hate it more to see a Whiner like Kobe Bryant head to a classy organization like the Timberwolves! ESPN.com is reporting that this deal is in discussion, as can be read below:

"The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday that the Lakers were in discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves about a trade that would send Garnett to the Lakers. The trade would also involve the Indiana Pacers and possibly a fourth team.
After speaking with a league source, I think the deal has some legs, though it doesn't appear imminent.
According to the source, the key to completing the deal is finding a fourth team that would (a) take Jermaine O'Neal and (b) send the Timberwolves enough pieces to complete the deal."

Let's hope it doesn't happen!!! As I could not stand to watch KG in a Yellow and Purple uniform.. Although, the Lakers did used to play in Minneapolis, so who knows, maybe I don't know anything and this would be a great move for both teams and the NBA....

Go Away Paris Hilton! Super Funny!

If you haven't seen this video, you need too!!!! It is a music video that some guy made about Paris Hilton! The song is actually catchy too! I could watch it over and over! You have got to see it!!! Pure Comedy!! I think this is the way a lot of people feel about Paris Hilton these days!!!

Paris Hilton to give post jail interview to Larry King!

Paris Hilton will give her first post-jail TV interview to "Larry King Live," Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.

Can you believe this non-sense? Paris Hilton is making a million dollars by giving an interview! She has never done anything in her life to deserve a million dollars...haha.. she is given whatever she wants by her parents, goes out and causes trouble, gets jailed, and then makes a million dollars from it.... wow, i need to get arrested so i can make a million dollars..haha..

I am sure others have to be outraged by this, as she is a little brat! I found a really funny song on youtube about her though.. just search "paris go away" ... you will fall over laughing! haha

Abducted BBC man says "Don't rescue me"

I stumbled across this on CNN.com today...

http://beta.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/06/25/captured.journalist/index.html
"Clad in what appeared to be an explosive vest, kidnapped BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston warned in a new video that his captors would turn their hideout into a "death zone" if any rescue attempt is made."

Is this world going down the tubes? We seem to have some of these extremists threatening us like this every day. I say we ignore their threats and go ahead with our plans. We know from past situations, like this, that we can't just "not attempt" to save this guy. Go in there and save him!

Rod Beck found dead in Arizona home :(

I don't know as much about baseball as my husband, but Rod Beck was one of the players i definitely knew. I had the opportunity to meet him in person a few years back and was delighted by his personality.. this is a very tragic story:(

"Beck was discovered by police officers responding to a call to his home in suburban Phoenix, police department spokesman Andy Hill said Sunday. Foul play is not suspected, though the cause of death might not be known for several days."

When we met him, he had us hold his beer and signed our baseball on his leg.. he slipped with the pen and wrote on his jeans... he laughed and said, well, these were new.. now I have to go buy some new ones...

He seemed very light hearted and it sounds like he will be just as missed by his former teamates who loved him..

remember the story of how he lived in his Winnebago while he played for the Iowa Cubs a couple years back? haha.. he will be sorely missed :(

Griffey seeking Seattle return?

I heard this today when reading online... How cool would that be? Griffey Jr. is my all time favorite player and to see him in a Seattle uniform again, would rock! I would love to see him end his carreer there! I dont know how much of this is true, but I would hope there are other Griffey fans that agree with me...

I mean, come on, he was never injured before he left the club.. then he leaves and has been riddled by injuries since... We need to get him back in a Seattle Uniform NOW!!!

"Bong Hits for Jesus" limits Students rights.. NO IT DOESN'T!

"Bong Hits for Jesus" limits Students rights.. NO IT DOESN'T!

Did anyone else see this article?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/06/25/free.speech/index.html

"The Supreme Court ruled against a former high school student Monday in the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner case -- a split decision that limits students' free speech rights.
Joseph Frederick was 18 when he unveiled the 14-foot paper sign on a public sidewalk outside his Juneau, Alaska, high school in 2002.
Principal Deborah Morse confiscated it and suspended Frederick. He sued, taking his case all the way to the nation's highest court.
The justices ruled 6-3 that Frederick's free speech rights were not violated by his suspension over what the majority's written opinion called a "sophomoric" banner....."

I am all for free speech, but come on!!!! Why do people actually think this is limiting their freedom of speech. As American's we can say almost anything we want, but when it is at school? People that think they should be able to do and say WHATEVER they want, WHENEVER they want are taking advantage of freedom of speech. In my opinion, it is still very reasonable to ask someone not to say certain things in certain places.. You wouldn't walk into a church and start cussing, so why is this ok? Get over it people! This decision does not mean we are all going to start losing our freedom.

Bobby Lee Cutts Jr. killed Jessie Marie Davis

"CANTON, Ohio (CNN) -- Investigators believe policeman Bobby Lee Cutts Jr. killed his pregnant ex-girlfriend Jessie Marie Davis at her home about eleven days ago, according to court documents released Monday."

You have got to visit CNN.com to read this full story, it is so sad! I have been following this case for the past couple weeks and it breaks my heart! I know, I know.. he hasnt been proven guilty yet.. but from what they are saying, it seems like the evidence is pretty overwhelming right now... I am currently pregnant, so this story makes me even more sad! I am so happy that I have a loving husband! It is sad to think that there are some men who would resort to killing their pregnant wife just to get out of having a baby!!

Get the unrated Reno 911 DVD!!!

If you didn't get the chance to see it in the movie theater, you need to go out and buy the unrated Reno 911! Miami The Movie, today! It is SUPER funny, and will be a movie you can watch over and over!

I dont want to give much away about the movie, as I want you to watch it for yourselves, but the basic plot is about "the officers of the Reno police department visiting a national police convention in Miami Beach. When the convention center is bio-attacked, it's up to Reno's "finest" to save the day." If you enjoy the tv show, this movie is a MUST have for your dvd collection!

If you visit the Reno 911! Miami The Movie web site, they have all kinds of information, as well as really cool games that you can play. While there are many games to play, I am going to just touch on one that I decided to try out. I played "Calling All Units" which was a riot! Literally! I cost the city a LOT of money, $169,000.00 to be exact! You get to ride around in your cop car and "solve" crime, while collecting Dohnuts for money bonus' and crashing into anything and everything! My salary read $0.00 when all was said and done, and my "Bustin Bonus" was $2000.00 (for collecting Dohnuts of course).

The reason I chose this game was easy, I heard it was a lot of fun and that I could drive around causing trouble!!! I suggest you do the same, and while you are at the Reno 911! Miami The Movie site, try out the other games too!

This movie is a can't miss for any DVD collection!!!

Leg Magic.. Just might be the solution!

Solution to what?... is that what you are wondering? Well, I am talking about those hard to target areas, that we all have, when trying to lose a few pounds, or inches! Leg Magic might be just what you have been looking for!

I ran across this product on TV one night, and again online, where I got to read about it a little more. While I have not gotten to use this product, it does seem to be a good product. The thing I like most about Leg Magic is that it isn't so bulky, like many of the products out there, today. It is much more compact and gets even better results.

As Americans, we are always on the go and looking for a product that can fit into our schedule. Leg Magic is great for this since it doesn't take much of your time at all. You can get a good workout, in a very little amount of time! I would say that the concept of Leg Magic fits into what most of us are looking for in workout equipment!

If I had to say one downside to the Leg Magic, it would be the price. For the size of the machine, 3 payments of $49.95 is a pretty steep price to pay. I would say most machines this size would run closer to 1 payment of $49.95, rather than 3 payments. I think that if the company could look at lowering the price and making it more affordable, it would be even more popular than it already is.

Overall, I think the Leg Magic is a great idea and very practical. If they look at lowering the price, I think it would help them even more, but the idea and product are a very good idea and I would not be surprised if it was one of the top selling machines, soon!

Still waiting.....

still waiting for the email. i know he is probably at work, but what can i say.... i am anxious:) I have been looking up information on the VUE all day and can only find good things about the 2004 modle. it appears that the 2002 and 2003 modles had some complaints, but they totally upgraded and redid the 2004 modle to be more practical and fixed a lot of the problems that persisted in the old modles.

I can't wait to see it.. i am trying not to get too excited because i dont want us to rush anything.. but part of me is excited to be driving a new car :)

Sleep.....

I didnt get much sleep last night! All I can think about is our baby and the possibility of a new car! I found myself waking up at 3am to look at our finances:)haha.. I am really getting excited! Josh is at work and I am just sitting here waiting for an email from the guy that we are looking to buy the car from:) Hopefully he writes back soon so we can set up a time to go see the car!!!

Well, I better make some food, the baby is getting hungry!:)

I want to be a spy like Michael Weston!!!

Ok, so I know I am a girl, but does it really matter? How cool would it be to work for the CIA as an Operative? It would be sweet to get to spy on people and live on the edge like that!

I know what you are thinking... "in the title of this post, it says Michael Weston, who is he?".. Starting June 28th Michael Weston will be invading your home every week on USA Network's Burn Notice! I will discuss him more in a little bit, but back to me and my dreams of being a spy (big dreams!..haha)

I was kidding with my husband, this morning, that I was a spy and he laughed. He asked, "what kind of cool spy tools and techniques do you use, to get through all your secret missions?" As I thought about that question, all of the movies and video games I have seen, start to go through my mind. I would have to say the #1 item I would need is some sort of awesome, secret, watch that does cool things like shoot a laser, radio for help, and turn into a car (you know, like all the famous spy operatives have).

I know I am getting very creative here, but a tool that could change my appearance would come in very handy, when trying to keep my true identity hidden! I could just take the tool, hold it under my chin, and BOOM.. It would change my facial appearance to that of someone else. How handy would that come in, when trying to escape from danger?

There are all kinds of other tools that I could use, but that would take all day with the way my mind works..haha.. The second part of my husbands question crossed my mind too, when he asked what kind of techniques would I use? I wouldn't need anything too fancy, since I would have so many cool tools that could change my appearance, shoot lasers, and a have a car available at all times (that could fly, of course). I think my techniques, as far as fighting would have to be to change my appearance, to keep mine hidden, and use martial arts.. since I would be a black belt and all :)

Now that I am done dreaming..... who is this Michael Weston guy?!? As I mentioned earlier, he will be a CIA Operative on USA Network's Burn Notice, starting June 28th. Michael Weston served his country for 10 years in Eastern Europe, before getting burned (getting burned is a horrible way to say "fired")... The country froze his bank account, all his assets, and dropped him in Miami. Let's just say, they make his life very hard on him! "Now Michael has a much different mission: he must find out who issued his burn notice and why he was blacklisted so that he can put his life back together." To find out more about Michael, and this exciting new series, head over to http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/ and read up on all the actors, characters, and plot to see what you will be experiencing, starting June 28th on USA!

Camps!

AHHHHH, they are sooo loud! I know it is a nice change from the school year, but wow are these campers loud! haha.. I dont know how we will manage once we have the baby. I dont think he will get any sleep during the summer. Josh loves working with the camps, but I get no peace and quiet when they are here, and neither does he..lol.. The current camp stays up till we-hours in the morning playing their instruments....ARRRRRRRRR :)

Do you have pet insurance?... Maybe you should!

I know, I know... like me, you probably haven't even thought about getting pet insurance... I know I hadn't, until I ran across this pet health insurance site. I had never thought about it, but with some of the recent events in the Pet Food Industry have raised many questions about our pets health, and have shown why pet insurance is important.

I don't know if you have noticed, but every time I bring my pet into the Veterinary Clinic, it seems that the cost keeps rising! While animal medicine has gotten a lot better, it has also come with many cost increases, which make it hard for pet owners to pay for. "It is estimated that North America pet owners now spend over $10 billion each year on healthcare for their pets." This number blows me away, and definitely got me thinking about the importance of pet insurance!

Because my pets have been so healthy, I am always the first one to say, "well it won't happen to my pets," but the fact is that 1 in every 3 pets will need emergency treatment every year, and I just can't afford for that to be my pets. I, like most of you, am strapped for cash, and having a sudden bill would make it very hard on me. I saw that 1 in 3 fact and thought, I wonder how many people take advantage of pet health insurance. I found that in "2006 alone, PetCare Pet Insurance paid out over $16,800,000 in North America for covered accidents and illnesses to pet owners." Seeing some of these facts, helped me better understand the need for pet insurance.

Just remember that "Pet insurance allows you to proceed with the best course of action recommended by your veterinarian, not what you can afford." This is a great stress reliever, to know that you can always get the best treatment for your pet, which if you are like me, is a very important part of your life and family!

We are in the process of looking for a car, so we will have air conditioning by the time the baby arrives in October... we can find cars in our price range, but the payments are crazy high! we are going to go talk to our bank in the next couple days, so we just need to keep praying we get a good deal on a loan, as we are going to be very strapped for cash. We know everything will work out though, it always does if you trust God :)
