The Senseless Death of Adam Dunn Age 18 - Latrobe PA

Adam Dunn, so young, died tragically on December 23, 2007. The people who did this have still not been brought to justice. Everyday those of us who have been left behind have to live with the sadness that Adam is no longer in our lives and the disbelief that nothing has been done yet to solve this case. We could possibly understand if it made any sense, but the whole incident made no sense whatsoever.

It was a tragedy that never had to happen. The men who ran Adam and George over had plenty of time to see them, had plenty of time to stop, and had a birm where they could have driven onto if they were out of control. Even after the first vehicle hit George, why did the second car come along and hit Adam and then hit George again? Was the person in the second car completely oblivious to what had just happened? Didn't they see that the first truck had already hit someone? If they did see it, what would cause them to not get out of the way? Senseless. No answers. Frustration abounds. Justice has not been served. "Vengence is mine says the Lord". Sometimes, deep in our hearts, that is a very hard verse to swallow. God demands forgiveness and sometimes we just have to pray that God will soften our hearts toward these types of people who seem to have no regard for life. Each of us has to deal with this tragedy in his or her own way. Perhaps this article will serve to help put life in perspective and not take those we love for granted. Hopefully it will bring to light an urgent need for each of us to value each other every moment of the day. In memory of Adam Dunn.

* Traumatic experience such as physical or sexual abuse.

* Stress, especially if the teenager lacks emotional support

* Hormonal changes that occur during puberty which may cause unexpected emotions.

* Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism which may cause hormonal imbalance.

How to Prep Your Teen Room for Painting

Every good paint job requires some prep work. I believe if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

First, talk to your parents about all your required materials e.g. drywall mud (compound), putty knives, scrapers, sandpaper, painter's tape, brushes, rollers - and of course, how much paint you'll need.

Second, call in the troops - gather as many friends together as can reasonably fit in your teen room and be productive; and turn the event into a fun painting party. As an incentive promise your friends you'll order pizza afterwards and return the favor when it comes time to makeover their own bedrooms (which chances are good they'll be doing sooner than later once they see how awesome your teen room turned out).

How do you tell your parents you are gay?

This controversial topic could strike fear in the hearts of many gay teenagers who are faced with the prospect of telling their parents they are gay. No matter what your religious views or your personal opinions about homosexuals, coming out to your parents is still a very hard thing to do. Especially in today's hypersensitive world where everyone needs to be perfect and fit into the mold that society dictates.

Although I have never had to tell my parents I was gay, because I am not gay myself, I have had the discomfort of talking to them about my different views in life. I have felt a lot of resistance from my parents about my choices of diet, of romantic partners and of life ambitions and directions. So I hope to be able to help teens figure out exactly how to tell their parents they are a gay man or a lesbian woman.

Prom Dress Alterations: Dealing with changes in Width

When you shop for the perfect prom dress and you find the gorgeous size 2 gown that would be perfect for you if it wasn't for the fact you wear a size 10, you have a few options. First, you can choose to attempt to make some prom dress alterations in hopes of fitting into the gorgeous gown. Generally, if you are within 1 to 3 sizes, this is possible, although it's not necessarily the best route.

Prom dress alterations can be made using the fabric that is available in the seam allowances to make the dress a larger size. Using those same seams, prom dresses can be made smaller. When making these changes, it is best to start with a gown that is too large. It is much easier to remove fabric than it is to try to let some out.

How to deal with being considered a weird teenager

If you are a teenager and a lot of your peers or people around you seem to think you are really weird, well you are not alone. In fact I believe that anyone who doesn't fit into today's model of the televised average teenager, might be considered a strange weirdo. A lot of the supposedly normal teenagers today tend to be pretty similar because they all follow the examples they see from television and the media. Teenage girls might be really into fashion, reading magazines, becoming overly interested in the lives of movie stars and keeping too close of a tab on their weight. As for what teenage boys tend to focus on, it's more in the realm of the latest games, gadgets, sports.

Prom Dress Alterations: When Length is an Issue

There are several different ways to go about prom dress alterations when length is an issue. Whether your dress is too long or not long enough there are a few options that you have to fix the issue. Some options are obvious, while others may take a bit of thought and ingenuity.

First of all, when you purchase a prom dress, it is very likely that you are going to have to alter the length. Most prom dresses are built to fit girls who are 5' 9", giving enough material for those who are shorter to work with when hemming them up.

Like To Read But Don't Have The Time?

Like To Read But Don't Have The Time?

Audio Books can be the solution!

We have a lot to be grateful for when talking about technology.

Who would have ever believed that not only would we cut down on the way we use up our vegetation for making hardcover and paperback books, we would also be able to "listen" to our books instead of "reading" them.

Ironic? Not with the introduction of audio books.

With audio books, we now have the unique advantage of doing other things that take up our hands, but not our minds. We can now do other things like household chores, exercising, driving or riding in a vehicle, etc while still having the book read to us.

There are several ways you can listen to an audio book: on your PC, iPod, MP3, download to a cd and play in your car or other types of sound systems that support the playing devices.

More people are embracing the wonders of audio books and are buying their favorite books in audio book version.

If you are considering buying an audio book, below are a few of many favorite places you can enjoy your new found treasure.

1--In bed - There are certain days when we just don't want to do anything but lie down in bed thinking of certain issues. Or we could just want to lie down in the dark until we fall asleep.

This is a great time to listen to an audio book. You wouldn't have to bother with turning on the lights, holding the book, flipping through the pages or the stress of reading the book itself.

With an audio book, the entire book will be read to you while you stay comfortable in bed - without flipping any pages, holding the book or turning on the lights.

2--In the kitchen while doing household chores such as washing the dishes or cooking. For some people it can be very boring and tasking being in the kitchen, especially washing the dishes.

This is a great time to enjoy an audio book because your hands are busy but your mind is free.

Instead of feeding your mind with negative thoughts, an audio book would be a wonderful alternative.

3--In the garden while gardening - You can also listen to audio books while gardening. The audio book can make the gardening fun because you would be concentrating on the enjoyment of the audio book and not on the difficulty of gardening.

4--While exercising such as walking, jogging or even running - Exercising such as walking leaves your mind open but your hands, legs and even your entire body busy. This is a great time to enjoy an audio book.

Most people perform exercises for many minutes or even hours while their minds do nothing. But listening to an audio book during this time ensures you don't waste those times when you exercise.

Talk about killing 2 birds with one stone - exercising your body and mind at the same time!

5--On the road commuting - This could either be in your personal car or a commercial bus or train ride to work. You see, many people lose a great deal of time doing nothing while commuting to and from their jobs.

Why not use that time to listen to an audio book, especially one that develops your mind and/or improves your professional and business skills?

For example, listening to an audio book that improves your skills daily can do a lot of good to your career, instead of listening to a musical song which wouldn't help you much in the area of skill acquisition.

6--In the air while traveling - You wouldn't believe it, but there are many people who spend more time in the air than on road. There are professional assignments that involve traveling from one state to the other, or even from one country to the other.

If you are in such a situation, consider the enormous benefits you would get listening to audio books, especially those that can improve your professional or personal skills.

Yes, there are many audio book courses made specifically for professional and personal improvements,
and thousands upon thousands for your own personal enjoyment.

Have fun listening.

Zyprexa soon to be marketed to teens?

Did you know the drug Zyprexa, already known to cause weight gain and other metabolic complications that can be accentuated among adolescents, may soon be marketed to teens if Eli Lilly has its way?

In October the manufacturer of Zyprexa agreed with a recommendation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to strengthen the label warnings on its product to include a reference to side effects including weight gain and high cholesterol, among other issues.

For the first time, Lilly is required to admit on its product labelling that Zyprexa carries a greater risk for increased levels of blood sugar than some other competing atypical antipsychotics. This can lead to the onset of diabetes, and there have been 23 deaths amongst users of Zyprexa - known generically as olanzapine - arising from complications from diabetes.

Family Activities - Some Commonly Asked Questions About Magic

There is something about magic that fascinates us. Long bearded wizards waving a staff as beams of light shoot forth. A fantastic floor show in which white tigers appear and disappear captures our attention as surely as the magician locked within a straight jacket that somehow escapes at the last moment. The mystery of the magician has surrounded us since the beginning of time from the midwives who cured a festering wound to the gypsies reading Tarot cards to divine our fortunes. Does magic truly exist or is it all in the mind of the beholder?

Magic has been around for a long time but for how long?

Magic has been around, in some form, from the moment humans first came into existence. Early man associated magic with religious beliefs. Some felt that magical occurrences were the work of the devil while others believed it came from the Gods. There have been many times when the use of magic was punished severely as evident by the Salem Witch Trials held in Salem, Massachusetts. There is no concrete evidence to support whether or not magic truly does exist so it is a topic that solely depends on the beliefs of the individual.
