DRESS TO IMPRESS AT AN INTERVIEW
Posted by admin
Dressing for job interviews can be tricky. Even if the job entails wearing jeans and t-shirts, experts recommend that you should wear something dressier than those items to a job interview. Of course, it may not be in your best interests to dress in a three piece suit to interview for a blue-collar position because the interviewer might be left with the impression that you are above getting your hands dirty. In general, you should dress one step above the position that you are applying for. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by admin
Times have changed drastically. Not only do women have to worry about their man sleeping with another woman, but they also have to worry about him sleeping with another man. Many women have contracted HIV because they were involved with a man who was on the down low. Fortunately, recognizing the signs will prevent a woman from getting involved with a down low brother.

American Gabby Douglas Becomes First African American to Win Gymnastics All-Around Gold
Posted by admin
The other day, I was finalizing an order for Internet service through www.ClearWireInternet.com/ while also half-mindedly watching the Olympics on TV. Gymnastics was on, which happens to be the sport that I find most entertaining. The things that those young men and women are able to do with their bodies are nothing short of spectacular. Nonetheless, I finished my order just in time to pay my full attention to American gymnast Gabby Douglas receiving the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around competition. I applauded loudly for two reasons:
1) I’m always happy when my country succeeds in the Olympics.
2) Gabby Douglas became the first African-American to win an all-around individual gold title in gymnastics.
This is an incredible accomplishment for Douglas, who is just 16 years old, and the entire African American community. Douglas’ story is one of incredible will, hard work and perseverance. After watching Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin win gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 12-year-old decided that she was going to make her own Olympic dream come true.
In order to do this, though, Douglas had to leave her family behind in Virginia and travel 1,200 miles to train with gymnastics coach Liang Chow in Iowa. It was very difficult for Gabby and her family to be so far apart from each other.
However, nothing great comes without sacrifice – and Gabby’s sacrifice paid off with a gold medal and a permanent place in Olympic history.
Congratulations Gabby, you’re an inspiration to us all.
