Can a man and woman who are friends agree to an intimate relationship but remain emotionally detached succeed without having ulterior motives? I don’t think this agreement will succeed. Someone will begin to form expectations, how things will be or turn out. Being a man, emotional detachment should come easy, but I don’t understand with most things there’s a thin line. And it varies from person to person.
Women, on the other hand, are emotional beings by nature. I don’t think they can remain emotionally detached. In my limited experience with women,they go in to things with a frame of mind and end up playing things out with their hearts, which is an admirable trait, but it leads back to the question if this is possible.
I don’t know if at the beginning the two people are lying to themselves about what they really want or what the person is going through, whether it’s being on the rebound or just looking for something to make them happy for the moment pushes them to make this agreement. In the end will they be able to remain friends regardless of the outcome?

I Have Seen
I saw the writing on the wall, cause I put it there.
I saw a child abandoned at birth, cause his mother didn’t care.
I saw the evil that exists in man, and saw it displayed.
I saw fear in eyes of weakness, in a crucial way.
I saw hope lost in the hearts, of a defeated tribe.
I saw reasons old love songs, lose their vibe.
I saw the feelings of love, sincerely conveyed.
I saw the path of a woman who had lost her way.
I saw the death of a man, at an early age.
I saw the book of life, had torn a page.
I saw the light that illuminated, a world of total darkness.
I saw the vision of apeople , in search of far less.
I saw the works of envy, displayed in hate.
I saw the destruction of trust,that relied on faith.
I saw the beauty of a rainbow, in the light of a morning sunrise.
I saw the ugly in a friend, that told me a lie
I saw the value of life that was taken for granted.
And I saw the reason to write this before I planned it.
I have seen.

Technology is ever evolving and of all of the generations that seems to be gadget geeks and in tune with everything social is the teeny boppers of the now generation. Facebook, Twitter, Friendster and Myspace, entertains traffic from teens from all over the world. Smart phones, laptops and netbooks have become a parents’ worst nightmare.
Prisonworld LIVE, a motivational speaking tour that speaks to middle and high schools, DRUG COURTS, juvenile facilities, group homes, families in crisis, and non-profit organizations alike about the teen experience and the importance of making better decisions. Parents are invited to these presentations as tips are given on how to have less confusion in the home and get through the teen aged years without murdering their children.
Parenting will not be the same in a single parent household versus a two-parent household. Proper monitoring can be done in any household if the rules are set and monitored. Parents should never have any excuses as to ensuring the well-being of their children. These three basic how to’s could save a family from unnecessary headaches and heartaches:
- Parents should monitor computer access. Computers should be in a central location in the home where the screen can be visible at all times. Privacy is a privilege and not a right.
- Parents should have all passwords to social and email accounts. There should never be a time when a parent does not know that their child is sexting, being cyberbullied, doing drugs or being sexually active. Sporadic checks of accounts are warranted.
- Parents should monitor relationships with family members, friends, and casual contacts (i.e. coaches, teachers, tutors, babysitters, etc.) Most often times inappropriate relationship comes from trusted individuals.
Child molesters, prostitution rings, and sugar daddies are around every corner. A less than aggressive style of parenting allows these predators to gather their victims easily. Parents are for guidance and protection. The best way to accomplish either is communication. Establishing rules are not always an easy task, but if the rules come with understanding, the lessons might not be learned the hard way.

Toxic Chemicals Contribute to Weight Gain
(NaturalNews.com)
During the past 20 years there has been a significant increase in weight gain and obesity in the United States. In most developed countries, current estimates suggest that women, in particular, are gaining weight on an average of 450g per year despite the plethora of low fat, no fat products and multitude diets and weight loss gadgets. Could it be that our modern day, chemical-laden lives are making us fat?Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton suggests the root cause of all weight gain is directly related to our own natural weight control system being overloaded and poisoned with toxic chemicals that we encounter through our skin care, food, cleaning products and general environment. In her book, The Detox Diet –Eliminate Chemical Calories and Enhance Your Natural Slimming System, Dr Baillie-Hamilton explores the link between the current fat epidemic and toxic synthetic chemicals.Toxic synthetic chemicals are highly fat soluble therefore when the body is exposed to these substances it then gets busy creating fat tissue as a storehouse for those toxins that cannot be processed and eliminated from the body.

In her book, The Detox Diet –Eliminate Chemical Calories and Enhance Your Natural Slimming System, Dr Baillie-Hamilton explores the link between the current fat epidemic and toxic synthetic chemicals.Toxic synthetic chemicals are highly fat soluble therefore when the body is exposed to these substances it then gets busy creating fat tissue as a storehouse for those toxins that cannot be processed and eliminated from the body.
A group of insecticides and herbicides used in the growing of food, cosmetic, and medicinal ingredients, known as Carbamates, are also used as growth promoters in battery-farm situations because they slow down the metabolic rate. So, the same synthetic chemicals used on our fruit and vegetables are used to fatten livestock! Carbamates are also used in medicine to promote weight gain in humans.
As the population gets fatter and fatter, not through their own lack of effort, they exercise and diet in vain so long as they continue to consume chemical calories. Toxic chemicals, even in small amounts, have the ability to directly disrupt hormones. Catecholamines, the body’s slimming hormones, also come under chemical attack by way of toxic chemicals interfering with the metabolic process which then inhibits the
body’s own natural slimming systems. Dr Baillie-Hamilton, in summary, suggests that all products that contain toxic chemicals; food, skin care, cosmetics and household, be replaced with organic products. Be certain to look for the Certified log logo. Just because a label claims to be organic doesn’t necessarily mean it is organic. In chemistry, the term ‘organic’ simply means it contains a carbon atom! Plastics, petrol, fizzy drinks… they all have carbon atoms! Seek out and support certified organ ic products that hold ‘organic integrity’ look for the logo, these are the companies that are seriously passionate and dedicated to better health for you and the planet. Check your bathroom cupboards now. Replace your toxic products with the world’s first range of skin care, body care, cosmetics, oral and nutritional products.
I’ll let you guys decide on this one. All comments welcome.

Dawah International, LLC, a multimedia company is expanding its reach into television and has inked a development deal for a docu-style series to help fight recidivism by helping newly released inmates find resolve with their families. The addition of the new project adds another branch of the company and forgers it towards its goal of being established in all forms of media. There is no other form of media that reaches the masses like television. There are no other experts better for this particular platform than owners, Rufus and Jenny Triplett.
“We are very excited about this opportunity. This comes at a very good time and place in our lives. Sometimes you put your heart and soul into everything and wonder if it’s worth it. Over the past five years we have motivated, educated and inspired thousands of inmates in order to help them better their lives. We have been contacted out of the blue by some very influential people. No, Oprah did not call…but Hollywood did. This can be a great platform and provide lots of healing,” says Jenny.
Currently under the multimedia umbrella and sporting the Prisonworld brand is Prisonworld Magazine, an international magazine for inmates, their families, lawyers, activists and organizations alike, Prisonworld Records, a record label that prides itself on collaboration projects that devotes funds to those who have not only been falsely accused but also wrongfully convicted, Prisonworld Radio Hour, a weekly radio show formerly LIVE but now heard in Podcast format in several forums, Prisonworld Blogtalk, an interactive blog that invites you to “free your mind” with varying topics and inmate opinions and Future Entrepreneur Network, a forum that helps educate and empower inmates to start their own businesses.
“I am such a behind the scenes kind of guy but I give great advice. Although I have never been to prison, I have several family members who have and know what it takes to heal wounds. The saying is that time heals all wounds but it takes more than time. Communication is hard. Forgiveness is hard. Understanding is hard. All of these things are required for resolve and it can happen,” says Rufus.
Recidivism is on the rise and the current state of the economy does not help. The cold hard statistic states that every 2 out of 3 inmates who are released return to prison within three years. The CASTING CALL for Prisonworld is looking for inmates who are about to be released but CANNOT go home – for reasons of family conflict with parents, children, spouses, etc. The inmate can be male or female. The story must be true and serious. Inmates can write us his/her story to: Prisonworld, PO Box 380, Powder Springs, GA, 30127. Friends and family can send us an email with their story.
