Just when you thought wardrobe malfunctions were a thing of the past, along
came Usher. The R&B superstar performed a trio of tracks at the William J. Clinton
Decade of Difference Concert.

While on stage, the dancing machine accidentally split his pants down the left leg.
Not one to miss a beat, the singer had a smooth recovery, even making light of the
unplanned split.

He donned his shades, pointed to the growing hole, and said with a smile, "I work hard."

Indeed he does.

CelebritiesRihanna Named Sexiest Woman Alive by baslone(op): 3:03pm On Oct 11, 2011
Rihanna is hot -- and not just when it comes to her career. In addition to Billboard's recent
announcement that she just bested Madonna to become the fastest solo artist to chart 20
songs in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, the 23-year-old pop star has been named Esquire's
Sexiest Woman Alive.

Joining the ranks of such Hollywood hotties as Minka Kelly, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, and Scarlett
Johansson, Rihanna reveals in the magazine that she doesn't think of herself as sexy -- even
after she struts her stuff at one of her racy shows.

"At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing," Rihanna admits. "Really, I
don't even think about it."


25 Sexy Dating Rules

RiRi swears that most of the time, she's not trying to be provocative , even during those, uh,
provocative dances onstage. "Unless it's a song that really calls for it, like 'Skin' or 'S&M,' or when
I cover [Prince's] 'Darling Nikki.' There's a section that's called 'Sex' in the show, which is the obvious
section for sexuality."

Hmmm , I can think of at least one person who would disagree: The farmer in Northern Ireland
who insisted Rihanna stop filming a music video in his field last month after he felt she was showing
too much skin!


Why Men Loved Women More Than Ever in 2011!

The "Rude Boy" songstress even opens up to the magazine about her feelings toward Chris Brown,
the ex-boyfriend who physically abused her. "It's incredible to see how he pulled out of it the way he
did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?" Rihanna tells the mag. "I really
like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff. I've always been a fan. Obviously, I had some
resentment toward him for a while, for obvious reasons. But I've put that behind me. It was taking up
too much of my time. It was too much anger. I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his
career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have."

Rihanna, in case you haven't noticed, has got plenty of other things to do.

Several wounded in bomb attack in northeast Nigeria
Sun Oct 9, 2011 6:48pm GMT  Print | Single Page[-] Text [+] MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Oct 9 (Reuters) -[b] A bomb exploded outside a church in Maiduguri in northeast Nigeria on Sunday, [/b]reviving concerns about a radical Islamist sect in the remote region of Africa's most populous nation.

[b]No one was confirmed dead but hospital staff said they had treated some wounded, including one soldier.

"The bomb was planted near a church where our boys were on guard but fortunately no casualties were recorded," the operations officer for a joint military task force said.

He did not confirm whether the blast was carried out by Boko Haram, [/b]a sect whose name means "Western education is forbidden" and which has been behind almost daily shootings or attacks with homemade explosives in recent months.

Christianity EtcRe: Indecent Dressing In Churches Worries Nigerian Pastor by baslone: 1:24pm On Oct 08, 2011
Standards of modesty vary by culture, or generation and vary depending on who is
exposed, which parts of the body are exposed, the duration of the exposure, the context.

The context would include matters such as whether it is in one's own home, at another
family member's home, at a friend's home, at a semi-public place, at a beach, swimming
pool (including whether such venues are considered clothes-optional), changing rooms or
other public places.

For instance, wearing a bathing suit at the beach would not be considered immodest, while
it likely would be in a street or an office.


What is considered "modest" in this context will[b] depend on the context when the clothes
will be worn and can vary between religions, cultures, generations, occasions, and the persons
who are present.[/b]

Displaying cleavage is considered permissible in many settings, and is even a sign of elegance
and sophistication on many formal social occasions, but it may be considered inappropriate in
settings such as workplaces, churches and schools.


Modesty has been and continues to be considered important in Islamic society, but the interpretation
of what dress constitutes modesty varies. One traditional opinion is that Muslim women are required
to observe the hijab, covering everything but the hands and face, as a sign of modesty.


Some Muslims are of the opinion that modesty is not restricted to dress but also depends on the
intentions of the individual and that the Quran does not command the hijab or the like.

Modesty in Judaism, called Tzniut, is important beyond aspects of clothing. It extends to behaviour
in public and in private, and depends on the context. In Judaism, women wear skirts to their knees and
to cover their elbows, with blouses covering the collarbone and sleeves coming to or covering elbows.


See-through materials may not be used and clothes are expected not to be tight-fitting, provocative,
loud in color, or display texts. It is the custom for an observant married Jewish woman to cover her hair
in public, and sometimes at home. [/b]The hair covering may be a scarf, hat, snood called a Tichel , or a wig
called a Sheitel

[b]Catholics are expected to dress modestly. The wearing of a headcovering was for the first time mandated
as a universal rule for the Latin Rite by the Code of Canon Law of 1917. which code was abrogated by the
advent of the present (1983) Code of Canon Law,.


Apart from that, there have never been any "official" guidelines issued by the Catholic Church. But, from time
to time the Church hierarchy, and even some popes, have given opinions on various matters; although these
"guidelines" are not binding on Catholics, many tradition-minded Catholics find them persuasive.

Pope Pius XII stated that women should cover their upper arms and shoulders, that their skirts should cover
at least as far as the knee, and the neckline should not reveal anything.Another example is Giuseppe Cardinal
Siri of Genoa, who stated that trousers were unacceptable dress for women.
Many tradition-minded Catholics
have attempted to further expand on this latter standard.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued official statements on modest dress for its members.
Clothing which can stimulate sexual desires, such as "short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, and shirts that do
not cover the stomach are discouraged, this is part of the Law of Chastity
. Men and women are also encouraged
to avoid extremes in clothing or hairstyles.

Rules on modesty also include[b] women being asked to wear no more than one pair of earrings.[/b]

Many other[b] Trinitarian Christians also consider modesty extremely important[/b], though considerable differences
of opinion exist about its requirements and purposes.

Amish groups and some Mennonite groups are known for their adherence to modest fashion styles.
Evangelical Christians and Holiness Christians also have strict guidelines on modesty.

@coogar,

I may be wrong but I still stand by my point. What is wrong is wrong. No two ways about it.

This same African mentality you are referring too.

We don't leave our homes heading to the beach to catch fun in blazers.

We don't go to our white collar jobs in bumper shorts.

We don't visit your in laws in bikinis. Every clothing has its time, place and effects.



Why make it different with your maker.

They are all the same abeg. They preach from the same source and bend the books to fit their individual styles.

The hypocrisy is same everywhere, we get to read these stories on the internet on regular basis.

between an indecent dressing and a decent one.

moremi2008:
Please, only send your child to a private boarding schools. The horror stories from the state-run or military-run schools are horrendous. These schools have terrible healthcare facilities, poor sanitation, poor food and absolutely little no protection from bullying. I remember the day my cousin was rushed home from an FGC because a senior beat him so badly, he had cracked ribs! Many kids also go to those schools, mix with the wrong crowd and return home little criminals. Just remember that when you send your child to a boarding school you don't see him for weeks at a time and have no idea what kind of friends he keeps.
That's your cousin's destiny. Back in the days, getting into unity schools was strictly on merit.

Myself, Elder brother and younger sister all went to different FGCs.

The last of our family went to an over-rated private boarding school which eventually turned out to be waste of funds.

Too many spoilt brats and it wasn't competitive enough for him. He had to keep changing schools till he

finally passed out!
