single? rich? royalty?




Have you ever wondered what is requiredto be royalty? My advice is you just need to ask Prince William or Prince Harry. First lets talk about Prince William. His parents wanted to give him the most normal life that they could. he was the first British heir to the throne to be born in a hospital, the first to wear disposable diapers, and the first to attend a nursery school. he was a very rambunctious little boy. the security guards had to keep a close eye on him. he was unable to ride in the same plane as his father and he also could not know the name of his school for security reasons. He and his brother Henry(called harry) were very close and got along very well. when he was about eight, his parents seperated so he and his brother had to go back and forth to each parents house. their mother actually broke the law by showing her children affection in public but their father was very cautious about showing the affection in public.


on august 31, 1997, princess diana was killed in a car crash. this incident brought william harry and their father closer together. william also went to visit his grandfather and his grandmother more often. he was said to be a ladies' man but he was very discreet about it. he is 6.3" and left handed. (now let's move on to Prince Harry.)


Britain's Prince Harry turned 25 Tuesday in the knowledge that he is now entitled to part of the multi-million dollar inheritance left to him by his late mother. There had been fears that Harry, who is third in line to the throne, could become a target for Taliban militants. he is called the "the Happy Prince". Ever since Prince Harry was a toddler, there's been an impish side to his character. And as he matured into a young man determined, he declared, to continue his mother's charitable works, the fun-loving, devil-may-care side to his personality has landed him in a few scrapes. Despite his charitable work, however, Harry hasn't always attracted approving headlines. He came in for heavy criticism in early 2005 when he attended a fancy dress party wearing a Nazi uniform a few days before Holocaust memorial day. The 20-year-old's photo was splashed across national newspapers and former royal press secretary Dicky Arbiter declared, "Prince Charles has been let down by his wayward son." Clarence House issued an immediate apology for any offence caused. It wasn't the first time the tabloids had had a field day with Harry's behaviour. The previous year he was involved in a scuffle with a photographer outside a London nightclub. In May 2005 Harry began a new phase in his life, joining the prestigious military academy Sandhurst as an officer cadet. Known as Cadet officer Wales he successfully completed the often gruelling 44-week training course and was commissioned as an Army officer in April 2006 in front of the Queen. Like Wills, Harry encountered love early on - with pretty blonde South African Chelsy Davy. The pair, who seemed to share a fun-loving spirit, began dating in 2004 and enjoyed several happy years together.Early in 2009, though, the couple called time on their relationship, with friends saying Harry had become increasingly focused on his dream of becoming a helicopter pilot.


Not only are these princes royalty, rich, and popular, they are also very handsome. they have everything going for them! They have endured through many hardships throughout their life and after a few mistakes, they have turned out to be good young princes. Take note of this ladies: THEY ARE SINGLE!

The biggest wedding of India got off to a musical start last night as the bride Abhishek and bridegroom Aishwarya Rai arrived at Pratiksha bunglow with Big B and Jaya Bachchan for the sangeet ceremony which saw the likes of Sanjay Dutt who arrived with Sunil Shetty and wife Mana, Ram Gopal Verma, JP Dutta, Preity Zinta, Ajay Devgan and Kajol grace the sangeet to wish Abhi-Ash on their day and jive to music throughout the night. The media was placed away from the bunglow and got their pictures by clicking celebrities arriving in the car.

decleration of independence

1. Take out a copy of the Declaration of Independence and review the document for its main ideas. How are the core values of American democracy incorporated into the Declaration?

-that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

2. Throughout these core values, the relationship between citizen and government is described. What responsibilities does the government have to honoring these core values? What responsibilities do individual citizens have to preserve these core values?

-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

3. How might some or all of these core values be important to the preservation of a free and independent press?

-in order to maintain a free and independent press it is mandatory for American citizens to have many rights. if not then America would be like a monarchy or something else..

4. Identify the core values of American constitutional democracy that allow private citizens to collect, edit and further distribute information to others and how the values help drive these actions.

-justice, equality, patriotism, public good..
citizens have the right to do many things as long as they are not illegal.. nowadays the gov is becoming more and more controlling.

5. What responsibilities do producers of information have to these core values and their fellow citizens when distributing information?


-they are allowed to present them to the public by news, newspapers, broadcasting, etc but they are also able to change the stories up a little bc the society never finds out or never makes a big deal of it. they are allowed to cut some parts of stories to keep from letting information slip out




When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offencesFor abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

barnes and noble project

Barnes and Noble ( College Road)

If ever you need a place to read or study, Barnes and Noble is the place for you. Barnes and Noble is divided up into sections. They have the magazine section, the children section, the adult section, the music and DVD section, the game section, and then my favorite, the coffee shop. You can do all kinds of things at Barnes and Noble. Some of which are read, find books, study, listen to music, or even get coffee. This place has a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It is a great place to just sit back, relax, and read a book or study.

You can buy any kind of board game, such as scrabble, pictionary, monopoly, puzzles, etc. In the children’s area you can find all genres of books and even a few toys. These books range anywhere from mystery, fiction, nonfiction, coloring books, picture books, etc. Sometimes they even have a person read to the children or even Santa Clause. There are little tables and chairs set up for the little children to sit and read or color. Even I still love to find a good book and go sit in the children’s section.

Next they have the music and DVD section, which is upstairs. They have tons of cds to choose from. They have these scanners that you scan the cd under and you can put the headphones on and get a sample of the songs on the cd. They also have many DVDs in this section. They are on the opposite side of the cds.

The magazine section is downstairs and to the side, right behind the coffee shop. They have art magazines, fashion magazines, history magazines, science magazines, and some magazines that are better off to not be mentioned. There are so many magazines to choose from there. Some have amazing pictures that would be beautiful to paint. The coffee shop is where I like to go first. They have coffee, desserts, and even light meals; such as sandwiches and soup. This is my favorite part of the whole store.

Normally you see college students on their laptops, students looking for books, moms looking at the newest cooking magazines, dads looking at the books or history magazines, and children reading the children’s books. They have a large variety of people in Barnes and Noble. I love Barnes and Noble. I would like to go more often but I live so far away from both of them. I love going to Barnes and Noble but usually the only time I go is when I go to see a movie and we are a little early or when mom and dad want to go for no reason at all and I go with them. Barnes and Noble is a great place for our society to get schoolwork done and have all of the resources right in front of you.

SNUGGIE
The Blanket with sleeves!

Have you ever been lying on the couch tucked inside a blanket but needing to reach out and grab the TV remote, but too afraid of the cold air that will consume you? Well have no fear, the snuggie is here! (and it comes in fashionable colors) A snuggie is a blanket with sleeves. They even have snugglets, which are snuggies for kids. Snugglets also come with a free pair of socks! What a deal!
I must warn you though. Coming from the girl that wears her leopard snuggie in school, at home, at church, and even at work, I can tell you from experience that people will look at you quite weird. I always get the same reaction though. The person's eyes squint, they walk a little closer and as his mouth starts to open i can predict what comes next, "Is that a snuggie?!" Without fail i hear this at least once a day when i see someone new examining my amazingly warm blanket with arms. Sometimes you might even get picked on or laughed at, but you will be surprised when you see those same people that pick on you wrapped up in their very own FASHIONABLE SNUGGIE! That's not all though, some go to the extreme of wrapping you up in your snuggie and spinning you as fast as they can, making you run into poles, objects, adn even people! (and yes i know this from experience) It is quite alright though. The reason they are doing this to you is because they are jealous because they do not have the courage to wear a snuggie out in public.
Not only do they have the plain blue, tan, pink, red, green, purple, and other solid colors; they also have the new and improved fashionable snuggies! These fashionable snuggies come in LSU, leopard (like my very own), zebra, camo, etc. you would be surprised to know that they even have snuggies for dogs! nowadays, you can find snuggies everywhere! if you are interested in these amazing, convenient blankets with arms, then check the nearest Walgreens, Target, or im sure even department stores and pick up the snuggie with your name on it! :)
