- Every women is not the marrying type. I assume that it is quite a surprise to most men that every women does not want to be married. Men are under the notion that women just need to be married. Because of this notion men fear the emotional attachment to women. Therefore as the relationship progress men tend to lie, cheat, break it off and run! Fear of commitment can sometime overshadow the real meaning of love. Women have come to the point where they have harden their heart towards men, after being hurt time and time again The generation of pain created by men through out their life has enhanced their rational of saying "I don't want a man, nor do I need one"! "I am content to be alone." The independent woman being forced to be both male and female of the family has become an intimidating factor to most men. Unfortunately the truth is what it is, we tend to overlook that men to, have been raised by a women therefore the negative connotation has been passed down from generation to generation. We need to overcome the negativity that we created. When you learn how to love you, then you can learn out how to love some one else With these value tools in your belt it helps you to create a road map for the foundation for a successful relationship. Of course this is not going to make every woman the marrying type, but it is a start to break the cycle.
Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before. But we don't hav

The passion of the going to the super bowl for 44 consecutive years
On October 14, 2010 Visa Inc, a proud sponsor of the NFL since 1995, launched a series of national television commercials and digital media activities as part of its Go Fans integrated marketing campaign. The latest phase of the campaign highlights Visa's Super Bowl Trip for Life Sweepstakes, featuring the Never Miss a Super Bowl Club, a group of four men who have attended every Super Bowl since the 1967 AFL-NFL championship, later renamed Super Bowl I.
The incredible feat to attend 44 Superbowl game is mind blowing! The average person would be lucky to attend one game. The concept alone will make you say wow! The ideal that these men were married to football the game, with their dedication to the sport allowed them to witness 44 consecutive years of attending Super bowls...
I wonder how long will it takes before Guinness makes it a world Record? .I believe that this record will never be broken. These four men all had these things in common:
- Health
- Income
- Dedication
- Perseverance
The ideal that these devote football fans put their life on hold from August until January for The loyalty to the game, allows them to throwing caution to the wind while saying money is not an option. Being a fan is one thing, but being a fan that is willing to go the distance is another..
"The Never Miss a Super Bowl Club represents the fervor that NFL fans have for the Super Bowl. Their unique experiences and stories bring our campaign to life," said Antonio Lucio, Chief Marketing Officer, Visa Inc. "Fans see the Super Bowl as the pinnacle of U.S. sporting events and would go to extraordinary lengths to attend the game. We're excited to offer Visa cardholders with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that truly lasts a lifetime and speaks directly to their passion."

Don't ask, don't tell,
What frustrates me is that in the past five years that congress has made it easier for companies to Discriminate against people who have been convicted of a crime and its legal!
Through my life I have heard that Double Jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same, or similar charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction? Many Companies in Tennessee are supported with state law that says that it is okay to deny a person for a job if they committed a crime.
Okay so let me educate the world on something that is common knowledge:
1) That if a person has negative items on his credit that reported for 7 years; the item has to automatically be removed.
2) That if a person filed Bankruptcy, after the 10 year the bankruptcy automatically falls off the person credit.
Some how the State Law is overlooking The Fourteenth Amendment, The Due Process Clause which prohibits state and local governments from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without certain steps being taken.The Equal Protection Clause requires each state to provide equal protection under the law to all people within its jurisdiction.
Nothing is written in stone that a person would should be hired even if they are qualified for the job! Although if a person has negative credit or a bankruptcy, it automatically drops off, but if a man committed a crime 20 years ago, he is stuck with that crime for a lifetime? Due Process, I don't think so!!!

The CPN help changed my credit score
- Second, pay collection agencies that agree to remove all references of your accounts to credit bureaus.
- Third, although not related to past due balances, pay off your credit cards that are open and revolving. This is third in order of importance because it will help your credit score a lot more than paying or settling unpaid collection or charge-off accounts that the creditor will not agree to delete with payment.
- Fourth, pay or settle the remaining collections or charge-offs that are unpaid but the creditor refuses to delete with payment. It still makes sense to settle or pay these because not doing so can lead to a lawsuit or the debt being sold to a different collection agency, Please take note that as a consumer you have the right to dispute any information on your credit bureaus. This process is called self-credit repair and can be done by anyone who can read and write! To do it you must write a letter that dispute the information you disagree with.
Upon receiving your dispute letter the credit bureaus will contact the lenders who must verify the information, if they cannot, it must be removed from your report and your score will increase.

Lebron has help, so why isn't the Heat on Top?
Do you remember when the Lakers signed Paul Gasol, they went to the final but did not win... Although a year later after the players learn their roles and developed chemistry, they won 2 championship and planning to to win a third!
When you load up a team with superstars they each have to learn their roles! When they do, you will have a dynasty of a team. With these mega players on a team now you need to assemble the supporting cast... You see when the superstars come out of the game for a break, the support team job will be to not loose the lead or keep the game close until the big three can get back in!.
Now the heat still needs to make a couple of power moves and get a center and a hustle forward and a strong guard who can shoot the 3! Now when you have a complete team where you know all the players, then you have a team!
The stronger the supporting cash the greater the opportunity to win multiple championships! The best example of that would be the San Antonio Spurs. They won 4 championships 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007). They have superstars, but its the supporting cast that makes them so dangerous. Which means they could still slip in and win one more!
These superstars on will get them to the finals, but the supporting cast will help them win! Miami now you need to get 2 or 3 free agents and the sky is the limit!

KEITH OLBERMANN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT PAY FOR DONATING TO CANDIDATES?
KEITH OLBERMANN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT PAY FOR DONATING?
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely without pay after POLITICO reported that he made three campaign contributions to Democratic candidates.
VIDEO: Olbermann echoes Dean
VIDEO: Olbermann on Brown
Olbermann made campaign contributions to two Arizona members of Congress and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of Tuesday’s election.
NBC has a rule against employees contributing to political campaigns, and a wide range of news organizations prohibit political contributions — considering it a breach of journalistic independence to contribute to the candidates they cover.
Maybe their is no gray area of reporting and giving your money? Although his job is to be fair and impartial... Yet when I listen to Fox, Hannity and Glen Beck to me is bias in my opinion...

Burnt Biscuits
When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Baby, I love burned biscuits.” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired.. And besides – a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!” ————————– —————————- —————————— You know, life is full of imperfect things…… and imperfect people I’m not the best housekeeper or cook. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults – and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. And that’s my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn’t a deal-breaker! To see more of Whats on your mind click here |

It touched my heart
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.'
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny,
are you sure I don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
'It's the doll that my sister loved most an d wanted so much for Christmas.
She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''
My heart nearly stopped..
The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.'
'I love my mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave m e, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.'
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money..
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''
'My mommy loves white roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young
woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical
state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the
life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
Now you have 2 choices:
1) Send this message to others, or
2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart.
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno: 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of H1N1 flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of our plans and activities?'
For those who prefer to think that God is not watching over us.... go ahead and delete this. For the rest of us... pass this on.
The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what we are capable of receiving
Love is a funny thing!
It sometimes grow and somtimes dies.
Sometimes, it even comes back to life,
long after everyone thought it was long dead!
Do not be afraid to admit when you're wrong,
Its not a sign of weakness,
but shows character and responsibility;
Others will respect you for that!!!

Bishop Eddie Long say you are not on the down low...
.
Long at one point in time frequently denounced homosexual behavior. A 2007 article in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s magazine called him “one of the most virulently homophobic black leaders in the religiously based anti-gay movement.”
One of the nation’s top black preachers.who has more 25,000 members are shocked! Many of his church members are giving Long their support. While a select few are saying that they could see the writing on the wall, with those tight suits on and riding around with those young men in the car, knew that it would be just a matter of time.
Unfortunately I am sadden by this act that 4 young men and their is a rumor of more to come forth to say that they were also dealing with this down low brother!.
Maybe Long used his money, power, and prestige to allegedly seduce them boys to give up that booty! I think that only time will tell, but
There is a man that we all know, who uses his money to get young women, he gives them gift, money, takes them on trips and exposes these young women to the world where they gain much notoriety, and nothing is said.
Now Bishop Long if you didn't do it great, but you currently have 4 young men saying that you seduced them with money, trips and gift.
You see Bishop Long the I think that the only difference in you and Hugh Hefner is that he likes young girls and you like young boys!

Dr. Laura "N-Word" Rant
What about when Duane "Dog" Chapman's when a tape was released with him using the N-word in a racist rant. Now because he was behind closed doors, know one knew that he thought of blacks as niggars, although when he was found out and his reality show was cancelled the world got to see how sorry he really was.
Now comes Dr. Laura Schlessinger and she has apologized after a shocking rant on her radio show this week during which she said the n-word 11 times over the course of five minutes.
In conversation Tuesday with a black female caller who was complaining about her white husband's racist friends and their use of the word, Schlessinger said:
Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n****, n*****, n*****. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing.After a break, the caller said she was appalled by Schlessinger's use of the word.
"Oh, then I guess you don't watch HBO or listen to any black comedians," she said. "My dear, the point I am trying to make...we've got a black man as president and we've got more complaining about racism than ever. I think that's hilarious."
Schlessinger and the caller then got into an exchange about the use of the word:
CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?
DR. LAURA: It depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's ok.
CALLER: But you're not black, they're not black, my husband is white.
DR. LAURA: Oh, I see, so a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.
CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the n***** word, and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: I didn't spew out the n***** word!
CALLER: You said "n*****, n*****, n*****" and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: Yes they did, and I'll say it again: n*****, n*****, n***** is what you hear on HBO.
[Crosstalk]
DR. LAURA: Why don't you let me finish a sentence? Don't take things out of context. Don't NAACP me, leave them in context."If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry outside of your race," Schlessinger said after hanging up with the caller.
Now they all realized what they did was wrong and apologized! Will someone tell me why after they violate our trust, that we have to accept their apology?

The Winner is Revealed ~ America's Got Talent 2010
Then at one point I thought that Fighting Gravity had a definite chance for winning the million dollar prize, but when they made that big mistake they lost their chance. Now I was awed at Prince Poppycock, he can sing but his elaborate costume design coupled with his brilliant stage presentation showed me why he was in the finals... Now after I heard Jackie Evanch I could not see her winning AMGT!.
Let me be the first to say that Michael Grimm was the dark horse for me. Sharon Osbourne husband Ozzie had picked him to win... Did I miss something??? Maybe it was the right thing to do, but from my stand point I had a hard time understanding why she did not win.
Lets just say this AMGT league of talent this year will be the most successfull

Now I am almost 50, but I can say safely say that people will still be watching these movies 50 years later and expressing the same sentiments....
The intensity of the trumpet playing and the excellent choreography of the sceens surrounding charactors continues to keep it a on going hit that will never die with time!

9 Stereotypes Of Black Women That Aren’t Always True.
The 9 stereotypes of black men, are true, but it depends on which black men you are talking too...
1. All Black Men Are Well-Endowed
This one is bound to start some discussion. Upon googling ‘Black men big penis true?’, you’ll find a range of references to an unemployed white man from Brooklyn named John Falcon, who’s apparently the owner of the world’s largest.
Research however will tell you that there is in fact no truth to the debate about differences in size across the races. It is certainly not a guarantee that the next black man you meet will outdo John Falcon in the size department but in terms of a continued discussion about this myth, we’ll leave it with you.
2. They Don’t Like To Work
While Black men suffer from some of the highest rates of unemployment in America, psychologists will confirm that this is in no way related to choice. Men in general are hardwired to want to provide for their families and so will pursue any means possible to achieve that goal. ‘Not wanting to work’ is a negative stereotype of black men that is certainly not true in the grand majority of cases of unemployment.
3. Black Men Are Extremely Sexually Virile
Can we keep this one as it is? What do you think?
4. Black Men Are Great Athletes
Any major sporting event features an array of muscular, testosterone-filled black men. But, ‘Look at them! Now look at your man! And back to them! Now look at your man!’
5. Players
Popular urban culture and Hollywood have perpetuated the myth of the black man as a player. This is in fact not true of black men in particular. All human beings must actively resist polygamy in their lives because of the pressures of evolution, which tell us to procreate with as many people as possible, and society, which dictates that we remain faithful to our chosen partner.
6. Black Men Like White Women
Now this one depends largely on who you ask. Interracial marriage is on the rise in America and the perception that black men like white women may stem from the fact that it is becoming more socially acceptable and therefore more common. In the end, a man and a woman will be together for reasons of personal compatibility, not race.
7. Black Men Don’t Take Care Of Their Children
A good black man will be a wonderful father to his children no matter what the circumstances. The trick is to avoid those who might take the easy way out of hard circumstances – of these there are plenty and they’re all shapes, sizes and colors.
8. He’s Been In Jail
This stereotype is like a bad joke gone worse. Urban and pop cultures have played on this perception to the point that those who unfamiliar with black people maintain some crazy ideas about our world.
9. Good At Dancing
The only reason people become known for dancing well is that one good mover can overshadow the 5 others who just escaped through the fire exit to avoid being pulled onto the dance floor.

How can they speak for a black man?
Unfortunately their are some whites in the world that feel that they can stand up and tell the world that they are tire of black feeling like they got the short end of the stick. At times if you listen to them, you would think they were black for just a split second when they are telling blacks to stop using the race card...
To intentionally provoke a individual with the intent to get a adverse reaction is not cool at all. I seldom see white's that are pushed and prod ed to get a reaction and then justify their actions.
Blacks need to understand that some whites do things all for the good of what ever point that they are trying to make. Gary come back, why, so that we can finish grilling you and get our point across. So since he did not come back now Mr White man can give you the evolution of blacks and how they really act! What was really sad is that they had a black female on the show that looked like she had already been bought and sold!
So you know who she was not defending

Famous Women that were men
Then came Dustin Hoffman has "Tootsie" He had a bright ideal that if he could not get a job as a man he would do it as a woman... Is it me or did he make a cute woman? As a matter of fact he even won a Oscar for his performance!
Robin Williams made "Mrs Doubt Fire" believable, so much, to the fact that you wondered, how did he do that?
In Living Color was funny but when Jamie Fox came up with Wanda and her class statement "I'll rock your world" Wanda put the show on the map. Plus it was the start to Jaime Fox taking the world by storm.
Then came Martin Lawrence and his character "Sha Nay Nay", her straight out of the Ghetto made attitude me "MARTIN" an instant hit!
Martin Lawrence as "Big Mama" was so big, that they had to make a sequel... Most men love to take women's dresses off, but Lawrence has made his millions by putting them on!
Then came the genius of Tyler Perry, the day that he came up with "Madea" was the day that he became a billionaire. His ability to bring the wisdom of the old and inject it into your soul of the youth today has pushed him to a level high in the stratosphere of respect among his peers.
Now I love Ving Rhames performance as "Holiday" but no matter how I tried to see him as gay, I just could not grasp the ideal! Because of his previous roles as a mans man, but if you must see a movie check "Holidays Heart", there will not be a dry eye in the house.

Did someone move that body?
"The hotel staff actually made the discovery and called us," says Joseph Scott with the Memphis Police Department.
On January 27, 2010 Sony Millbrook was reported missing to the Memphis Police Department after she failed to pick-up her children from school. Officers were notified after family members received a call from the school that Sony had not picked up the children from school.
Family members advised officers that they checked the hotel where Sony Millbrook has been residing and she was not there. The family indicated no one was in the room. Sony had been staying at the Budget Lodge room 222 at 1533 East Brooks and was last seen there at 7:00 am by a staff member who advised officers the room had been locked out today for lack of payment but all of personal belongings were still inside the apartment. Officers contacted the Budget Lodge to verify this information via telephone.
The case was assigned to the Missing Persons Bureau for follow-up investigation, however due to the nature of the incident the case was reassigned to Homicide in February. A Homicide Investigator conducting a follow-up went to the Budget Lodge, and spoke to two clerks and a security guard. The investigator learned that Ms Millbrook did not make a payment after January 26th and her belongs were boxed up and the room released for rental. The family had been there on the 27th and 28th and removed items from the room. The room had been rented three times since January 29th till February 4th.
Homicide Investigators located Millbrook's boyfriend, LaKeith Moody, and interrogated him during the course of the investigation and later charged him with a gun violation. He is currently in Mason, TN being held on a federal gun charge. Moody remains a person of interest in this case.
On March 15, 2010 Homicide Investigators were called to the Budget Inn room 222 where the body of a female had been located under the bed, after a report of bad odor was reported in the room. The body was identified as Sony Millbrook and it is apparent that she was the victim of a homicide.As I have listen to this story I keep thinking, how come no one smelled the decomposing body? After a few days a unbearable stench will surround the area. To make matters worse that room was rented out 5 times and no one even noticed that smell... Now as I look at it from this point of view if for over a month no one even noticed the smell then in the last week it becomes unbearable to the point that they call the police, isn't that strange? Maybe, just maybe it was placed in that area within the last week or so...

McDonald Manager snapped and beat-up employee
"He had grabbed me from behind and started punching me in the face," says Jarelle Gray. "He had me in a headlock. I tried to grab his legs when he was kneeing me."
Gray, a Bolton High School Senior, has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. He has a broken nose and his right eye is swollen shut. He also has cuts on his lip, face and forehead.
Gray says a supervisor called him Sunday night to work the overnight shift from 10:00 p.m. Sunday until 5:00 a.m. Monday.
Gray says the supervisor promised him a free meal and an extra $30 to cover the shift. Gray says the morning manager arrived 30 minutes after five, a half hour after his shift was supposed to end. He says the manager asked him to stay longer. Gray says he was tired, and decided to clock out and go home.
When he grabbed the free meal he says he was promised, Gray says the manager lost it, and went on the attack.
Gray says there were three officers eating at the McDonald's at the time of the attack. He says the officers told him they didn't see him getting beaten. An ambulance was called, and Gray was taken to St. Francis Hospital.
We went to the manager's home to ask him questions about the incident, but he told us he had no comment, and then shut the door.
Gray's father, Jerome Gray, says his son is a good kid who was holding down a job, saving money and preparing to go to college. "To see him get victimized by trying to do the right thing, is heartbreaking," says Jerome.
Memphis Police say the incident is listed as a simple assault case. It's unclear whether the manger has been charged at this point. More information should become available once the police report is released Tuesday.
The McDonald's Franchisee Released the following statement to WREG:
"Providing our employees with a safe, positive work environment is a top priority for our organization. We are disturbed by this situation, as anyone would be in similar circumstances. We wish the employee a quick and speedy recovery.
We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior in our restaurants. Upon learning about these allegations, we took immediate action to gather the facts. The alleged behavior of the individual in question is not reflective of our employees or organization, and we have taken action consistent our employment policies. The individual in question has been suspended pending further investigation.
We require all employees to abide by the law, as well as by our stringent employment policies."
I wish that this case was as easy as it looks, considering that this young man has a fat lip, broken nose and closed eye. Although as you look at it why would an adult just thrash a juvenile with so much intensity? So many unanswered questions as to what really happen but for the most part whatever happened it does not matter because the manager violated company protocol... The manager will be fired and McDonald's will be sued. McDonald's will settle out of court for an undisclosed amount and this case will eventually go away... But they will pay!!!

fourth grade teacher fired for having sex with her husband
When Jarretta Hamilton, a fourth grade teacher at a Florida Christian school, told administrators she was pregnant, she expected them to ask when she was due.
She did not, however, think her answer would get her fired.
In April 2009, Hamilton told her boss at Southland Christian School in St. Cloud, Fla., that she was pregnant and planned to take a six-week leave in October. When asked when she conceived, Hamilton answered honestly: She became pregnant just three weeks prior to her Feb. 20 wedding.
That was enough to get her fired under the school's strict morality rules, which prohibit teachers from "fornication," engaging in sex before marriage.
"Jaretta was asked not to return because of a moral issue that was disregarded, namely fornication, sex outside marriage," administrator Julie Ennis wrote in a letter to Hamilton's lawyer.
"She was incredibly upset about being fired," Hamilton's lawyer Edward Gay told ABCNews.com. "She was upset that she wasn't able to complete the term with less than two months left in the school year and upset that her fourth graders were told about this."
According to Gay, Hamilton filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but opted out of mediation and chose instead to file suit because of the commission's lengthy backlog.
According to the complaint, Hamilton is suing under federal gender discrimination laws, a state marriage discrimination law and for violations of her privacy.
"The school told the students and their parents why Hamilton had been fired. Disclosing that kind of personal information was a violation of her privacy," Gay said.
"There were never any complaints about her teaching. The school said she was an outstanding teacher," he added.
The school does not dispute the reasons for firing Hamilton, calling sex outside of marriage "an immoral action," but argues that her termination does not rise to discrimination because it employs other pregnant women.

Lebron still needs help!
Just to give you an ideal what I am talking about Magic had Worthy, Jordan had Pippen, and Bird had McHale. I am not saying run out an get a super star that's going to compete with James, but someone to compliment his style. When you have Hall of Fame rs, they also create them as well!
James needs either a forward who has got game or a decent point guard.Then build your team around your pieces and then you can watch the champions roll in...
Some people could not understand the firing of the coach (Mike Brown) and GM Danny Ferry because they had winning seasons. Think about it this way, when the Bulls fired Doug Collins the team had a winning season as well, but they were not wining championships so they had to lets him go. Although after they hired Phil Jackson the rest was history! It was win win for everyone.
You see finding a player is not enough, finding a player to help you win is not only what you want but what you need as well. Then Super Human play of James is why record books have his names listed in so many areas james just keep breaking records. Although many question why has he not won a championship? Lets look at it from this view point... For a team to have championship win, they need champions! It is still a question is the King as good as Jordan. The only way that you can answer that question is yes and no.
The reason that I can say yes is that the King has managed to pick his team up and carry them on his shoulder do what Jordan did in many a instance quicker than Kobe and Jordan. How can I make such a statement well lets look at it this way it took Michael Jordan until (1996, 1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995-96 NBA season. Jordan
Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness". He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball
Kobe Bean Bryant
He was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002.
At just 18, he was selected with the number one pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers and signed a US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his professional debut. Listed as a small forward, James has set numerous youngest player records since joining the league
The focal point of the Cleveland offense, James has led the team to consecutive playoff appearances from 2006 through 2010. In 2007, the Cavaliers advanced to the Conference Finals
So now the point is not to make a move that says all they got him, but a power move that makes people say how did they do that. Then things wete
