My goal is to start beauty school in the next month. I just do not have money to pay for the application fees and neither does mom due to the fact that all her money is going towards taxes and my medical bills. I have found the school I plan on attending and have already applied for financial aid. The problem is nothing can happen until I can pay the application fee. The program lasts nine months and at the end I will know how to do hair, nails, and facials and be able to get my cosmetology license. I am excited and ready to start. I just need help getting there. Thank you
here is a link to the school i plan on attending just so you can check it out : www.regencybeauty.com
I know everyone is tight on money but any donation will help. Thanks again.

If you are an animal lover, please read below and sign this petition.
Pennsylvania has the lightest Dog laws out of alot of states. It basicly
allows animal hoarders and abusers to get away with neglect and horrific cases of animal abuse. Governor Rendell is the only one who can enforce
this to be revised. The PA Dog Laws need to be changed for the welfare and wellbeing of our furry friends. After all, they can not speak for them selves.
They rely on people to help and take care of them. The Laws need to be more strict on animal cruelty cases and animal hoarders. They need to have heavier restrictions on the way they handle there shelters, rescue's and overall pets. We need as many signatures as possible to forward this on to Governor Rendell. Please forward to everyone who agree's that the animal abuse and neglect laws need revised and the offender pays a heavy penalty. This can't be done with out the help of everyone. The Governor needs to know that when he needs our vote he gets it, now we need his vote. A vote to change the PA Dog laws and make the conditions and regulations more strict for the ones who want to run shelters and rescue's. Help stop the animal neglect and abuse that these so called rescue's and shelters get away with. Read more »

Lit Drift (www.litdrift.com) is a shiny new blog dedicated to highlighting innovations in storytelling, with the ultimate goal to celebrate the art and craft of storytelling (in all its forms) by serving as a storyteller’s resource and community. While it's pretty no-frills right now, there is a lot I would like to do with it; specifically, more interactive and community-building elements (think "Creative Prompt of the Day," free downloads, collaborative projects, etc). I have a multi-phase plan to expand the blog from an online resource into, in the distant future, an offline headquarters and creative space.
I'm looking for a marketer or two to help out for a few hours a week from the comfort of their own homes. This being a blog, there will understandably be a great deal of online/social/new media marketing involved, with a lesser focus on traditional marketing. As the blog grows and we begin to organize our own events, the emphasis on traditional marketing will too grow. I'm also looking for bloggers, event coordinators, and tech people. If you can do more than one of these things, points for you.
Please keep in mind that this is a start up, and while it will be ad-supported, no one (including myself) will be getting paid for this until the blog starts generating serious revenue and traffic. All I am looking for is a few passionate, creative people to pitch in for a few hours a week, and maybe get together every once in a while to discuss how the site is doing, where it's going, and schmooze over a beer or two (or ten).
If this interests you, please get in touch with me at julia@litdrift.com and tell me about yourself! I'm not looking for any resumes, but I'd appreciate a short paragraph that describes your background, your interests and passions, and why this idea appeals to you. I'd like a sample blog post from people looking to write as well. And in return, I can send you a one sheet containing more detailed information about the blog. Thanks! Read more »

Stephenie Meyer, the incredible author of Twilight wants to end the series, but shouldn't we as the readers get a say? The Twilight series are such an inspiration to read for both young and old, please don`t end the series!
we, the fans, are the ones that read them and buy her books, shouldn't we be able to read without being afraid if it's going to be the last of it's kind.
Please Stephenie Meyer, I'm not saying that you doesn't have a right to want a break, but this is unfair to us, your readers! To end the Twilight permantly is unfair to the reader. If not the old cast, a new one staring Edward's and Bella's daughter.
PLEASE Help me to SAVE THE TWILIGHT!!! Read more »
