Jenelle Evans and Kieffer Delp: Hitting it Again!


Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans just can’t seem to stay out of trouble ... or the arms of Kieffer Delp. As her mom Babwha would say ... Dammit Kieffah!!!!!!

Ever since Jenelle broke up with Gary Head, it's been a non-stop bone-a-thon for the train wreck and her former boyfriend, according to Radar sources.

“She has spent the past few days with Kieffer shut up in her apartment having sex,” a source dished, noting that it could mean trouble for the hot mess.

“She’s only got days left of her probation and now she’s could end up back in jail because she’s not meant to be with him as he has a criminal record.”

Delp got out of prison last month, and he's already causing more headaches for Jenelle Evans, as their recent dalliance resulted in a visit from the police.

"The cops chased Kieffer away from Jenelle's home," a source said, with no word on whether he was wearing his trademark ratty green hoodie at the time.

It's unclear what brought police to her house this time around, though epic fights between the on-off couple have become par for the course on Teen Mom 2.

"Nothing happened to Jenelle in terms of criminal charges, at this time, but to say the police are sick of her and her drama would be an understatement."

Evans, 20, hasn’t let probation and court orders stop her hard partying. Since she can’t smoke pot because of random drug tests, she’s been dropping acid.

“She does it a lot ... she fell in love with it,” Tori Rhyne, a close pal of the Oak Island, N.C. native (or at least she used to be), told Star earlier this month.

Between that and Kieffer's reemergence in her life, her alleged quest to regain custody of son Jace - or a stable existence overall - may be short-lived.

Last week's Switched On discussed the Slacker Portable, Sony eMarker and TrafficGauge, three dedicated devices that didn't make it but saw their functionality ultimately realized via smartphones.

Obama enjoys 10-1 financial edge over Romney

(AP) ? President Barack Obama's re-election effort enjoyed a 10-to-1 financial edge over Republican rival Mitt Romney last month, out-raising the former Massachusetts governor by millions as Obama stuffed more than $104 million into his campaign war chest.

A nasty primary battle between Romney and his GOP rivals took a financial toll on his presidential campaign, which raised $12.6 million in March and left Romney with about $10 million in the bank by month's end. All told, Obama and the Democratic Party raised a combined $53 million in donations during that period, while Romney with his party pulled in about half of that.

Still, an anticipated fire hose of cash from major Republican "super" political committees and the Republican Party is likely to bring some financial parity to the general election, for which Romney only recently started collecting donations. Super PACs like American Crossroads and its nonprofit arm, Crossroads GPS, raised $100 million this election cycle, and the groups plan to flood the airwaves in coming months with ads critical of Obama.

Also helping Romney is the Restore Our Future super PAC, which reported an $8.6 million last month, largely from a handful of wealthy donors and some continued supporters. The group, for its part, spent more than $11 million on TV spots during the month, coming off a successful track record of battering Romney's GOP primary opponents with attack ads.

For the first time since Super Tuesday, voters got a look at just how much money presidential candidates and their supporters have been raking in. Friday marks nearly three months since Obama's campaign changed course and asked supporters to pony up cash to a favorable super PAC, although its fundraising figures weren't yet available late Friday.

Financial reports due Friday to the Federal Election Commission were expected to show much red ink struggling campaigns are bleeding ? or how much money some groups have been stuffing into their war chests. The Republican National Committee reported a March fundraising haul of $13.7 million, which will boost the eventual GOP nominee during the general election.

Obama's fundraising advantage puts him at a less-than-solid position when compared with the tens of millions of dollars the sister Crossroads groups have amassed so far. During the last six months of 2011 alone, GPS brought in $28 million from only a few dozen major donors, recent tax filings show. Crossroads has said it plans to raise more than $300 million to beat Obama.

Countering Crossroads' millions in ad spending is Priorities USA Action, a super PAC founded by former Obama advisers. From early 2011 through the end of February, however, the group and its nonprofit arm raised about $10 million. Priorities USA Action, like other super PACs supporting GOP candidates, has counted on major financial support from a handful of wealthy donors.

But Obama, for his part, is facing the prospect of being swamped by outside Republican groups in fundraising. That's why he decided to reverse course and give his blessing to super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations from corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals.

On the Republican side, those outsized donations come from generous donors like Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife, who have given more than $10 million combined to a super PAC supporting Gingrich. It's unclear, however, if the Winning Our Future PAC will still receive big contributions from Adelson now that Romney is the presumptive nominee.

The largest March contribution to Restore Our Future was $1 million from Huron Carbon LLC, a firm based in West Palm Beach, Fla. The company's owner is not revealed in the super PAC files, but it shares a street and suite address with Oxbow Carbon LLC, a fossil-fuel processor and mining firm headed by energy magnate William Koch. Regulatory filings also show a similarly named Canadian firm, Huron Carbon, with ties to Great Lakes Carbon, a company bought by Oxbow in 2007.

Oxbow had previously given $750,000 to the pro-Romney committee and Koch made an earlier personal contribution of $250,000. Koch is a brother of wealthy GOP donors Charles and David Koch, and while William Koch also supports many GOP causes, he has also at times supported Democrats. Oxbow is a fossil fuels processor and mining operation that has pressed for changes to laws and regulations on mining, safety issues and climate change.

Richard and J.W. "Bill" Marriott, hotel industry magnates whose family is close to the Romneys, also contributed $250,000 apiece to the pro-Romney group. For both men, the donations raised their total gifts to the super PAC to $1 million each. Kenneth C. Griffin, 43, a Chicago hedge fund director, also gave $750,000 to Restore Our Future, following up on $200,000 in earlier donations to the PAC.

The financial reports reflected how much has changed since the March 6 Super Tuesday contests, when Republican voters in six out of 10 states chose Romney as their preferred nominee to compete against Obama. Rick Santorum has since folded his campaign, and Gingrich has been working with a shoestring budget. Their financial reports were not immediately available Friday.

Expenses in Friday's filings also showed some disparity between the two frontrunners' staff sizes, with Obama paying more than 600 and Romney fewer than 100. But that number is expected to grow sizably as Republican donors contribute more to Romney's effort.

Practical Self Improvement Suggestions | Official Health Article

Competition for jobs has risen because of the increasing unemployment throughout the world. Moreover, as chances decline, monetary success is also becoming harder to achieve. This condition of the world explains why numerous people are looking to better themselves.

If you are also a person who thinks that he needs to improve himself in order to be happy in life then you should know that it is not too hard to achieve your aims. The following are some ideas that could help you.

The reason why being responsible is imperative

The media and some Hollywood celebrities would have you believe that being responsible is not cool. Still, if you want to succeed, you need to be responsible in life. Being responsible just implies caring about your aims a lot.

For instance, if you are responsible about your family then you will do everything in your power to take care of them. Financial and emotional support are both included in this. On the other hand, if you were a generally irresponsible individual then you would never consider the consequences of you leaving a job or taking off with your friends in the middle of the day for a drink.

Question your motives often.

Most individuals go through their life not even knowing why they do certain things. For instance, an individual driving fast when questioned would almost always say he drives fast because he can. This is being unaware. It is just an ambiguous response that shows that the man is drifting through life. As stated before, most individuals have this mindset in life.

A proper answer would make the person either become a professional racer or give up his rash driving ways. You would find out what is significant just by questioning your own motives.

Figuring out your purpose of existence is crucial

As soon as questioning your own motives becomes easy for you, you would question where you are heading in life. As a result, you would think about your own purpose of existence. Different people have different purposes of existence. Some want money while others want company.

You should understand your own purpose of existence. Do you want companionship or solitude? The answer will decide your next step in life. Additionally, knowing your purpose of existence would help you attain your objectives easily.

Realizing your own limitations will spur you on further

Successful people would tell you that they know their limits and try to overcome them every day. Knowing your own limits would allow you to predict where you may falter in the future. Therefore, you would make sure of your own success.

As a matter of fact, by knowing your own limits, you can work towards countering them from now on. For example, you may be quick to anger. Anger has the possibility to ruin both your personal and professional lives. Just being conscious of your issue or meditation can help you stay calm. Waking up late can be seen as another limitation. You can counter this by using many alarm clocks for the next few days. Soon, this problem would get resolved fast.

See the new life coaching phenomena from a very known motivational speaker, David Cameron Gikandi. Known as ?The Merlin School of Mind Power?, it contains great materials on goal setting, inspirational wallpapers, real life legends interviews, articles, motivational videos and motivational quotes analyzed. Truly change your life to a much better experience.

Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE listed as 'coming soon' on Bell Canada's site

Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE listed as 'coming soon' on Bell Canada's site

Just a couple of days ago, Canadian carrier WIND quietly outed its soon-to-be Nokia Lumia 710, and now it's Bell's turn to follow suit by teasing an upcoming device of its own. Unlike WIND, however, Bell isn't flaunting a Mango-flavored handset, but instead a Gingerbread-loaded Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. As you may have guessed by the "LTE" stuffed in its relatively long dub, this Sammy slab will be able to surf through the Mobility network's Long Term Evolution waves. Sadly, the product page isn't showing us just how much cash you'll have to unleash, or how "soon" we can expect it to hit shelves around the True North. No worries, though, since Bell does have a signup page waiting for you to kindly place your name on it.

HTC One X case: As slim and sleek as the phone itself

HTC One X case

We're in meetings this week with HTC in Seattle. And along with some great candid conversation with the smartphone manufacturer, we've gotten a look at an extra slim case that's in the works for the HTC One X. It's a plastic deal that adds just a tiny bit of thickness to the phone, wrapping around the side of the device. We've seen the orange case on one of the white One X's, and it's a pretty stark contrast. The white phone becomes an orange phone with hints of its former self poking through. Note the cutout for the camera, of course.

No word on when and where these will be available, so stay tuned.
