Recently i have been seeing a lot of new guild lines for women on how often they should get pap smears and mammograms. The new guild lines are telling women to get check up every other year instead of once a year.
I personally think that getting checked up once a year is more effective and safe. Yes they hurt and are not fun but there is a comfort behind it. Plus every other year is along time...

Peta has this campaign where they will have famous women pose nude and stating that they would rather be nude then wear fur. I think this is ok but i find it funny that they have Karina Smirnoff an actress from the Twilight Saga posing nude. And the reason i think this is funny is because that her background is Twilight looking and the movie is geared towards girls under the age of 13-18.

Before reading this article i had already known about how women can sniff out a good gene match, so when the couple has a child that kid will have a better immune system. But a virus that helps a womens immune system and the only way to get it is by kissing? That is news to me.

when i first saw this anti-rape female condom with sharp teeth i thought it was a good idea for a second. But then i realized that it was a bit barbaric only in the sense that they can only be put in place/taken out by a doctor so they act like a modern day chastity belt. Plus the rapist might get angry and kill the women in the end.
Hell houses →
I was doing some research on haunted houses for halloween and i came across this link. At first i found it really disturbing and tacky that some people are making haunted houses that take sin and using this holiday to scare people into religion or to repent.

"More Jail Time"
http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/GJNEWS_01/710149911/-1/FOSNEWS
This is an article that i found very interesting. It is about how the inmates of Rockingham County jail are asking for more time to stay in jail. Because being behind bars with food and a place to stay is a lot better then being on the streets. When i read this i thought it made sense but at the same time...

This footage is owned by MSNBC
This is footage of policemen doing a drug bust and instead of working a security camera caught them playing WII bowling.
I thought this was a pretty funny find. Because the situation is pretty serious and the fact that they were caught on...

So the whole class visited the homeless house and we got to talk to the people that lived there.
I was in a small group that had two subjects: danny and marci.
Marci was a school teacher that loved her students she was always taking them somewhere special like when she took them to the Henrico theater to see The Dead Poets Society which was she favorite movie. She also loves photography and just...

this week in Media i enjoyed having the ladies from the Daily Planet. I learn quite a bit from them about homeless people and who they really are.
Like how they are not drunks or panhandlers and how they live their life they way they live it because they chose to or life set backs.
After the women told us about how they read and saw the movie “the soloist” i went and rented it. I...

Week 1:
In my first week of media i have had the chance to listen and talk about current problems in our society. Such as how computers and a hand held smart computer is starting to control our lives to the point where we no longer have a life outside of it. That all we need to do is click a button and we have access to the world. We also talked about 911 and where we all were that day. Many kids...
