Kurt Nimmo
October 4, 2013
Democrats bankrupting the country and continuing Bush's war legacy are the adults while John Boehner and the Republicans are crybaby toddlers – or so a Democrat super PAC insists in a new video.
The 40 second spot was released on Friday and will air in Boehner's Ohio district. It will also air Sunday during an NFL football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots.
It is unlikely the ad will have any effect on Boehner's long-running political career. He is a twelve term Republican who won re-election last year with 99 percent of the vote. His district can be counted to vote consistently for establishment Republicans. During the last election, Mitt Romney pulled in 62 percent of the vote in Boehner's district.
The Dem PAC will clunk down six figures to make hay off the shutdown pinned on House Republicans. Reps. Gary G. Miller of California, Mike Coffman of Colorado, Rodney Davis of Illinois, Michael G. Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Michael G. Grimm of New York and others will be targeted in the propaganda campaign.

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by suspect, Nov 6, 2009.
see what your racism has wrought?
Well, suspect, as I have pointed out elsewhere in response to nonsensical claims like yours above, being muslim is not a racial characteristic, and bigotry against muslims is NOT racist behavior.
So, spread your misrepresentation and lieing innuendo elsewhere. It is in no wise informative or helpful.
Oh, quit picking on the poor Muzzel'ems. Do your know how hard it is to fit in when you speak broken Arabic? Clearly the people teasing this poor Doctor asked for it...
thats what im saying yeh.
simon, your pedantic corrections are a defining characteristic i know you could not do without, semantics dont concern me, but, to avoid derailment, and because you are correct, if obviously short of something better to do, i will edit accordingly, thanx for your concern.
oops cant edit here:
it sounds like there were a lot of warning signs!
This was an act of ISLAMIC TERRORISM, plain and simple, you don't have to be Al-Qaeda to be a terrorist. Remember Timothy McVeigh The enabler was POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, that's why nobody looked into the warning signs.
Anyone wants to call this prejudice can kiss my old wrinkled a$$.
I guess those words he shouted right before he started shooting would make it ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
I get the feeling that like 9-11 we won't get the whole story on this.
My prayers are with the wounded and the families.
he was just playing to your fears, hes was a guy pushed too far who had, im prepared to bet, no connection to 'islamic terrorists' but had come to realise he was on the wrong side.
i still find it hard to understand how the average american is so oblivious to how they are perceived by the world, its the same sort of denial found in the german public in the late 30's
I would think he thought the words he said were his last words.
I would also think he said those words so it would be clear what he was doing and why he was doing it.
Hopefully a few more years may help your understanding of how the world really works. Getting rid of that "progressive" chip on your shoulder couldn't hurt either. In the mean time there's always hope and change, just sit and stare at "his" poster.
lol, you wrote, but you didnt say anything
I feel bad for the poor towel head... Instead of 72 Virgins he found a Chick w/ a .45, HAHAHAHA! Poor Mohammed! HAHAHAHA! Hope she didn't kill him on purpose and may my Christian God bless her!
What's alarming here is that the Media is sheltering this terrorist puke. It was pre-meditated. I hope when they stick the needle in him, the Doctor doing it coats it in Bacon fat and publicizes the fact upon his lethal injection!
The notion of pre-post-traumatic stress is b u l l s h i t! He was opposed to getting deployed, more b u l l s h i t. Instead of killing he could have easily left and worked off the books the rest of his life in a Convenience store where he'd fit right in!
This was a case of terrorism. Now our Liberal Media (whether he was connected to a bigger group or not), don't flippin matter. He was connected to a bigger group. We call them Muzzle'ems, they hate America and our way of life! Wake up America!
Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian. http://www.crimemagazine.com/05/sirhansirhan,0906-5.htm
Because of his support of Israel ?
Did you know that ?
i havnt read any further reports, but theres no substantiation of him shouting 'allahu akbar' at the stage of the article i posted.
See, that's the chip I was talking about. Curl up in a fetal position in the corner and chant "MMM, MMM, MMM". It will help.
ok bro, youre making yourself clear.
The young lady that was shot in the head said he shouted out right before he started shooting. I heard her say it on the news.
Dam, you are prejudice, I would never talk about one of our rag head brothers like that. I'm gonna sit in a dark room and worry about what the rest of the world thinks about me. Then again, maybe not.
I don't think our view is prejudice one bit Kerf... I think we are doing what our State run Media is failing to do... CALLING IT WHAT IT IS!

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. --An apparent disagreement between a father and son in the Stone Mountain area has ended with the father's death, police said early Thursday.
Officers arriving at the scene in the 700 block of Wetherborn Place found 53-year-old Heran Parkin dead of a gunshot wound at what police believe was some sort of family gathering.
"It appears there was some type of domestic incident between a father and son," Lt. Rod Bryant with the DeKalb County Police Department said. "Weapons were drawn and that individual was shot."

Welcome to the April Stamp of the Month Blog hop! This month we are showcasing the stamp set "Balloon Talk" a great set that has SOOOOOOOOO many options! If you have come from Maureen's blog then you are on the correct path in our circular hop.
I used the stamp of the month to create my 'you and me' card below. I used re-inker in one of our spray pens to add some texture to my white cardstock- I kept all my colours in the teal and orange family (I love the look this gave the card). For my pennants I used a mix of patterned papers from Skylark, cardstock and some of our current background and texture stamps to stamp a pattern. I finished it off with some bakers twine and a sparkle- LOVE it!
Now hop on over to Joy's blog but before you do please share some love and SUBSCRIBE to my blog

I've had this product for about a month now and heard about it through other people. It is so amazing! I have oily skin and experience dry spots and it always looks amazing on my skin! It's so light and surprisingly gives light-medium coverage for me. It's build able and just a light coat gives the skin an over all great look! I usually put some on my hands and rub them together and spread it all over my face and i know your like what!?! Your probably like use a brush! You don't even need one for this product and it looks so much better in my option using my hands to apply it! And after I finish it with powder and then setting spray and its so crazy because it stays on me for almost 10 hours!!!! And you can't go wrong with choosing a color that doesn't match because it is a white liquid that changes to match your skin tone, it's insane!! One of my summer essentials!
This was just an okay foundation for me. As an oily-skinned lady, the feel of the foundation on my face is wonderful. It's not sticky, not shiny, and doesn't budge. HOWEVER, if you have ANY flaws on your face, this foundation will do an absolute crap job of covering it. If you are just looking to even out your skintone a tiny bit, this foundation will be great. But if you have redness, acne, hyperpigmentation, freckles, etc, this foundation by itself will make you wonder if it dissolved into thin air. Yes, you can layer on some concealer and powder, but this foundation didn't layer well for me at all and loses it's super-matte quality. The foundation feels like nothing- like skin- but it's too bad that it doesn't make me feel more beautiful.
You cannot expect this to be a full coverage foundation, or even a foundation in the traditional sense. For me, at least, it is more of a skin smoothing cream that evens out the skin tones. I will say, every time I use this I always think about getting rid of it, but then I set it with a powder and I like it a lot better then. Also, because it is shade adjusting and the skin my face is darker than my neck, I am not able to match my foundation with my neck. I also feel like I end up using a lot of the foundation. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars because that's really where I am at with it. I will probably keep it, but probably won't repurchase it when I run out.
I haven't been wanting to use a full coverage foundation so I bought this on a recommendation from Tati. I enjoy it because it's easy to put on my face when I don't want anything heavy. It's a little too red for my skin tone but when I blend a powder in my shade over it, I look fine. I do like the light coverage and how it is buildable over my problem areas. I wish they had a larger variety of shades and were more of a yellow undertone. When it gets too hot, it does get a bit patchy, especially when I don't use a primer. Putting a primer underneath this is important for it to last and not separate. I do like this product though, it's good for on the go.
I was really excited to try this after reading good reviews online and seeing it on YouTube, where it was mentioned that this is good for oily skin. I was not disappointed with the staying power-- I have oily skin and it stays put with no shine the whole day. That being said, this is a very light coverage product, more of a tinted moisturizer/BB cream type product. For me, I enjoy the naturalness of it for everyday use, and I love that it has SPF in it too. It truly feels moisturizing going on, which usually doesn't work for me because of my skin type. However, it soaks into your skin beautifully and just enhances your skin.
THIS PRODUCT IS SUCH A TRIP! I apply with my hands, then go in with a damp beauty sponge to smooth out the edges around my hairline and chin/neck. the cover is medium. More than I expected for what I thought was a tinted moisturizer. It does have a weird chemical scent that dissapates in a few moments time. I'm Light/Medium and could probably do a combo of Light and Light/Medium. Easy to lightly powder over, throw on some blush and get out the door. ALSO - It doesn't make me greasy oily by end of day (but I'm using a matte primer.) For the cost and especially if you have drugstore discounts, its worth the purchase!
I started using this during the summer. Liked that it was so light weight and breathable. But the more I wore it the more I wanted to keep wearing it. I was very skeptical if the skin matching claims. Having tried other brands making the same claim I thought it would be a fail. I was so wrong
Best stuff ever. I purchase the light and if gives me the most perfect match. It's fairly light coverage but putting on a bit thicker layer when needed helps most stops.
At this point, having spend years trying to find the perfect match I think this will be my ride or die foundation from now on.

This has been my go to foundation for some time now. It only comes in 3 shades and oddly enough I have to purchase this in light to get a better match for my skin tone vs. my normal medium shades with other brands. I like it because it can get it and not go through a million shades trying to match my tone but the down side is it still isn't a perfect match, it is still a little off. The formula is a little runny but it isn't terrible when I put it on. I use it because it is an easy choice, I have thought about and may still look into switching to a diff. brand
I like this foundation. You get a good product for a good price. It's definitely weird the first time when it comes out white and then turns your skin color! I've used this on myself and my mom in the same day. She loves how easy it is to apply and she doesn't have to worry about getting a little tan in the summer and having to get a different shade of foundation. It always matches perfectly. She raves about it to all of her friends! I love to wear this on days where I want a natural look (aka I'm being lazy)
I really really like this product. I got the shade medium which is a little too dark for me right now but it should match when I get a bit tanner. As for the actual formula, I think it is awesome. Although it doesn't provide full coverage it really evens out my skin tone without looking like I am wearing makeup at all. I just pop some concealer on my problem areas and I am good to go. I also have super oily skin and this product doesn't make it any worse, I just set with a powder and use a good primer.
Does this actually work? like does the color match to your skin?
Whats your shade?
Is this any good? I am pale.
Do they have darker colors?
Does this really work good? Or does it end up making your forehead all shiny by the end of the day?

Ian McKellen thought Margaret Thatcher's knighthood gift was a joke
Sir Ian Mckellen was convinced he was the victim of a practical joke when he found out former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had organised his knighthood just days before she left office. The X-Men star received the title from Queen Elizabeth II in 1991 and he has now revealed Thatcher, who died last week (08Apr13), put him forward for the accolade shortly before she resigned as Britain's leader in 1990.
McKellen admits he was never a supporter of Thatcher or her policies, and was shocked to find out she had been instrumental in landing him an honour from the Queen. McKellen was told about the knighthood on the day Thatcher left office, and he was convinced the phone call from officials at Downing Street was a practical joke.
In a post on his blog, he writes, "I was having breakfast alone in bed, watching the television relay from London, where the cameras were fixed on the front door of Number 10 (Downing Street), waiting for Mrs Thatcher's final exit as Prime Minister…
"Now the phone rang: 'This is 10 Downing Street'. I thought it was a colleague having a joke but no: 'The Prime Minister has been trying to reach you. She has it in mind… to recommend that the Queen give you a knighthood.'
"Flummoxed, I asked for time to think it over. Then, just as I put down the phone, the big black shiny door opened and the Thatchers emerged, she crying a little. It was as if she had kept the world waiting until she knew for sure that I'd been contacted. Of course not. But nevertheless, I suppose the very last thing Thatcher did as prime minster was to organise my knighthood."
McKellen concludes by adding a reference to Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead, the Wizard of Oz song which has been adopted by anti-Thatcher campaigners since her death, but ends with a note of thanks.
He adds, "Ding dong, maybe, but thanks all the same."
Thatcher, who died at the age of 87 following a stroke, will be remembered in a ceremonial funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday (17Apr13). The service, which will be preceded by a procession through the streets, is expected to be attended by royalty and politicians from around the world.

UMD students to pay more in tuition
With a $2 billion surplus, we in the Minnesota Legislature had a great opportunity this year to make college more affordable for Minnesota students, and for good reason. Many families and students struggle with the cost of quality higher education and Minnesota ranks fourth in the nation in student debt.
Unfortunately, students at the University of Minnesota Duluth recently learned that they will receive a tuition hike next year. Raising tuition is essentially a tax increase because you're taking money out of the pockets of students, many who simply can't afford it. Now, thanks to these misplaced priorities, the cost of tuition and room and board in Duluth will be more than $20,000.
Why, with a $2 billion surplus, is tuition going up? The answer is simple: House Republicans would rather put those dollars toward corporate and business tax breaks. In fact, they insisted on keeping nearly $1 billion of our surplus on our state's bottom-line for a potential "tax giveaway" in 2016, when an extra $85 million would have frozen tuition for every Minnesota student for the next two years.
Making college affordable should be a higher priority for our Legislature, as it was over the past two years. In 2013, Governor Dayton and our DFL-led Legislature froze tuition for all Minnesota students for two years, despite a $627 million deficit. With a $2 billion surplus, it's simply unacceptable that Republicans chose to raise tuition on students.
Minnesotans shouldn't have to take on decades of debt to get a college degree that will help them succeed. It's the wrong way to grow a stronger economic future in Minnesota and we can do much better. We believe those are higher priorities than corporate tax breaks that will largely benefit the metro-area businesses.
Paul Thissen represents south Minneapolis in the Minnesota House of Representatives and is the current DFL minority speaker.

a multimedia installation
by William Noland
Inspired by Don DeLillos Mao II
in George Mason Universitys Johnson Center Gallery
October 20 through November 12
Reception and artists talk, Monday, October 27
Fairfax, Virginia, September 19, 2003American Landscape grew out of the multimedia components of a stage production of Don DeLillo's 1991 novel Mao II, which was adapted and directed by Jody McAuliffe and staged in April 2002 at Duke University. The video, made in collaboration with composer Scott Lindroth, began in earnest in February of 2002, just prior to the staging of the play, and was completed in October of that year. "I became deeply immersed in shooting and editing video while creating the elaborate three-screen video projections that were an integral part of the staging of Don DeLillo's prescient 1991 novel Mao II. The task was to project and visually integrate a steady stream of images that would represent the consciousness of Bill Gray, the novelist within the novel," explains William Noland. The installation opens on October 20th in George Mason Universitys Johnson Center Gallery and runs through November 12. On Monday, October 27, in Masons Harris Theater at 4:30PM, the artist speaks, followed by a reception in the gallery from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m
In American Landscape, there is no overt narrative. Noland describes it as a video "painting" that examines the individual as seen in the passing urban landscape. "The video was all shot in and around New York City, both before and after 9/11," Noland continues. "Lindroth and I wanted to create a meditation on contemporary life, with post-September 11th America as its subtext." The installation will also feature large-scale video stills created by Noland.
Lindroths densely layered sound design for American Landscape utilizes filtered samples of crowds, malls, speaking voices, highway traffic, and other ambient sound sources along with his original compositions. "The works four segments suggest a musical continuity, each segment characterized by particular images, colors, rhythms, and soundscape. A brief spoken text, an excerpt from Mao II, appears at the end of the third segment, but as a part of the soundtrack, not an actor's monologue", says Lindroth.
William Noland is an Associate Professor of Art at Duke University who works in sculpture, photography and digital video. His work in photography for a number of years has focused on the individual and the crowd, while his work in sculpture defines space and location as it evokes place.
Scott Lindroth is an Associate Professor of Music at Duke University. In recent yearhe has incorporated digital audio and synthesized sound in his work.
Camera and Video Editing: William Noland
Sound and Music: Scott Lindroth
Completion date: October, 2002

Text excerpted from Don DeLillos Mao II, published originally in 1991 performed by Frederick Neumann of New Yorks Mabou Mines theater company.

Core Facts
GREENWICH, CT (August 4, 2016) The Pet Leadership Council (PLC), an organization comprised of pet industry leaders, animal welfare advocates, veterinarians, and academia, is announcing its support for Canine Care Certified, a new national, voluntary program that sets rigorous, science-based standards for professional breeders. The Canine Care Certified program was developed after three years of research at Purdue University's Center for Animal Welfare Science and was peer-reviewed by animal scientists and canine welfare experts from major academic institutions.
"We must be committed to offering consumers puppies that are bred and raised in a responsible and humane environment that is focused on the welfare of the animals," said Bob Vetere, PLC Chairman. "Dog breeding operations have to be accountable for the physical and mental needs of the dogs and ensure that they receive appropriate housing, shelter, staffing, nutrition, socialization, sanitation, exercise, and veterinary care. The Canine Care Certified program will now provide clear standards and assurance for professional breeders and consumers that a dog or puppy is raised in a healthy environment that positions the animal for success in transitioning to home life."
The PLC applauds the efforts of the Center for Canine Welfare and the unprecedented Canine Care Certified program to establish animal welfare standards that go above and beyond existing programs. The program is built on five pillars of care for dogs and puppies in a professional breeding environment, including physical health, environment, behavioral health, breeding life and retirement and caretaker expectations. Of equal importance is the program's independent, third-party auditing, which assures participating breeders are in compliance with program standards.
Steve King, President of the Pet Industry Distributors Association said, "Without a trusted, responsible and transparent source to acquire a pet, prospective pet owners can sometimes unknowingly turn to substandard, irresponsible breeders. The pet industry does not support sources of pets that do not meet quality standards and is thrilled to now have a national certification program that establishes stringent standards for professional breeders."
"Scientific research on the human health benefits of pets is clear – pets are good for people, families and communities," said Steven Feldman, Executive Director of the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative (HABRI). "Working together, we can educate people and help them choose the right pet, one that has been raised with a focus on physical and behavioral health and well-being, to bring the benefits of the human-animal bond into their lives."
"The PLC is encouraged by and strongly supports the work conducted by Dr. Candace Croney and the Purdue Center for Animal Welfare Science to establish science-based standards for breeders that will raise the care and welfare of their animals," said Doug Poindexter, President of the World Pet Association.
The PLC encourages the entire pet industry to support and promote the high standards of animal care and welfare developed at Purdue University and incorporated into the standards of Canine Care Certified program because they promote transparent and responsible breeding practices.

Latin America and the Caribbean constitute the starting ground for Canada's connections to the world beyond the United States, with much of our diplomacy, trade, investments and a significant part of our migratory flows linked to that region. This proposed workshop will provide a platform for discussion of our recent and current relations in the Americas, to inform academic and policy communities about the most pressing issues and to propose ways in which Canada can further contribute to democracy, human rights, and sustainable growth in the region. The event will link recent and current policy questions with wider debates of common interest for Canada and Latin America, such as innovation and education, trade and regional value chains, migration, human security, green growth and climate change, and democratic governance and human rights in the Western Hemisphere.
The conference will assemble a distinguished list of experts from universities across Canada, United States and Latin America with support from Carleton University and a series of institutional funders and private supporters. The proposed topics are: historical determinants of Canada's role in the Americas, bilateral and multilateral foreign policy relations, trade and investment relations, security issues, extractive industries, migration, human rights and democracy. Our panelists will come from or bring specific knowledge on aspects relevant to Canada from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, and the United States.
The structure of the workshop, planned to be held over two days at Carleton University, will be around the seven topics listed above, bringing in different national views and experiences. Invited participants will include representatives from Canada's private sector and NGOs with experience in the region. The full agenda can be found here.
The conference is co-sponsored with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Latin America and Caribbean Study Group, Canadian International Council (CIC)'s National Capital Branch.

text: From NSWC Dahlgren Division Public Affairs Shaping the Navy for the future was the theme of a recent all hands call at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in which the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) praised the accomplishments of the division's workforce supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War on Terrorism. "I am keenly aware of your contributions," said Vice Adm. Phillip Balisle to more than 1,000 Dahlgren Division employees. "I have seen them as your systems command commander. But, much more importantly, I have been your customer for 33 years. I've sailed the ships that you have built, developed and maintained, and I have benefited from the Sailors you've influenced." Much of his focus was on the recent success of Operation Iraqi Freedom. "On many days more than 70 percent of our naval forces were deployed," he said. "They were mobilized on the shortest of notices and it left the world in total amazement about America's resolve. A lot of the people who made that kind of resolve possible are sitting right before me." In plain-spoken language, Balisle said the nation's current Global War on Terrorism is forcing specific and fundamental change of Navy infrastructure, much of which will affect the workers of Dahlgren. "Fundamental change is change that truly alters how you do business in a major way that will be irrevocable," he said. He explained that the change is promulgated by current events. In the past, especially during the Cold War, the Navy knew just about everything it had to know about a battle group, what it needed and when and where it would be at all times. In addition, the Navy also knew a lot about the enemy and what threats our nation faced from it. "But look at today," he said. "We're in another war, with a very different enemy. We don't know when we will meet him or the terms under which we will meet him. Our job is to reshape the naval infrastructure to meet him." Balisle also pointed to Operation Iraqi Freedom to illustrate his point about the changing face of warfare. He said that we saw for the first time the shape that war will take in the 21st Century. "I believe a Russian general said it best (about Operation Iraqi Freedom): 'The Americans have rewritten the textbook on war and it has changed forever.'" Balisle said in World War II America built 15 ships a week and 300 planes a day at its peak, and that the war was won by coupling America's industrial output to the men and women who go in harm's way to fight. The United States won the Cold War the same way, he said, by out-producing what our adversary could bring to the table. "But look at this current enemy," Balisle continued. "He doesn't build anything. He buys his weapons from the commercial marketplace and his test and evaluation of them is when he uses them on us." The key to shaping the future Navy, Balisle said, is Sea Power 21. An important component of that strategy in which NAVSEA will play a major role is Sea Enterprise, streamlining processes and finding efficiencies to shape a more effective naval force. Part of Sea Enterprise is the realignment of NAVSEA, the naval shipyards and warfare centers. Balisle also fielded questions from his audience. The questions ranged from more frequent use of contractors to get jobs done at Dahlgren to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) issues now facing Congress. "In all BRAC issues, there can be only one winner and that is the United States of America," Balisle said. "We need to make our facilities as good as they can be through realignments and subsequently eliminate our redundancies so that when the BRAC people come they see our best." Source: NAVSEA

Sukhwinder Singh refuses to sing song due to objectionable lyrics
Sukhwinder Singh apparently refused to sing a song because he didn't like the lyrics. Zeishan Quadri who was the writer of 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and 'Quadri' also acted in 'Gangs of Wasseypur-2' is now directing a film.
The film is based on a real-life incident. It is about six friends who are young and who turn gangsters for money. The film is based in Meerut. Apparently the director Zeishan wanted Sukhwinder Singh to sing a song.
Sukhwinder Singh. Pic/Rane Ashish
The song had a line which says, 'babaji ka ghanta' to which Sukhwinder had objections. When the singer heard the song he told the director that he will sing the song if he changes the lyrics of the song.
When we spoke to the director Zeishan Quadri he said, "Yes we had approached Sukhwinder Singh to sing the song babaji ka ghanta. He wanted us to change the lyrics of the song. I am actually very busy with my film so I have asked my BGM guy to take care of things. Now we have singed Divya Kumar for the song. Divya just sang Jee Karda recently in Badlapur."
Sukhwinder remained unavailable for the comment.


text: The story begins with and old women, Rukmani, looking back on her life. She was a young, and educated young girl who became a wife at the age of twelve to a landless tenant farmer named Nathan. Nathan loved and cared for Rukmani deeply, and he always treated her with respect and care. Before she was married Rukmani did not have to preform any sort of chores. But after she was married she had to learn many chores of not only a wife but a farmer as well. For the first year of their marriage Nathan and Rukmani produce a beautiful baby girl, her name is Ira. Also during that year the had great rice crops. Rukmani wants to conceive a baby boy for Nathan. But for six years she cant conceive. Rukmani goes to the village to visit her mother where she meets Kenny, a white doctor from the west. He helps Rukmani with her infertility difficulties, she does not tell Nathan. After Rukmani returns, she then has five sons. With each child born Nathan and Rukmani's family has less and less to eat and each person becomes more and more hungry. After a few years, the village they lived in was changed drastically, because a tannery was built near by. The two oldest sons of Nathan and Rukmani go to work at the tannery, and give all of their profits to their parents to help feed their family and help with the poverty that was overcoming them. But the two boys are then forbidden from working at the tannery anymore because the led a strike. Later, Rukmani and her family all start to endure troubled times. Their crops are all destroyed by a monsoon and Rukmani is forced to give up her savings to feed her beloved family. Nathan and Rukmani arrange a marraige for Ira, but he then leaves her because she was not providing him a son. Rukmani tries to have Kenny help Ira but by the time they Kenny began trying to help Ira. Ira's old husband had already found another women. Ira went into depression and soon after, Rukmani becomes pregnant and has her sixth and last son. This son, Kuti, lifts Ira out of her depression. Rukmani fourth son is killed by tannery guards for stealing a calfskin. Kuti begins suffering from hunger and Ira prostitutes herself to provide food for him. Ira then conceives a baby from her resulting to prostitution. The baby is an albino baby boy, who is loved deeply by his mother. Even after all this tragedy has taken place, even more events took place that tested Rukmani's patience. Nathan and Rukmani were forced to sell their land to the tannery, which they now hated. Then Nathan and Rukmani are forced to leave town to go to the city to see their son Murugan. But when they reach the city they come to find that Murugan has left the city and deserted his wife and child. Not to long after, they begin to miss home, but are too tired and have no will to travel back to their village. After selling some goods Rukmani finds Nathan at the temple violently ill. He later died in her arms. Rukmani endures many hardships in her life but she always stood her ground and was spiritually strong

text: I was reading through my latest issue of First Voice the other day, a magazine focused on Small to Medium Enterprises (SME's) in the UK. It has a lot of information on new laws that are being passed, issues that are being faced by local businesses and how to deal with them, amongst a great many other things. There was one noteworthy story that related to a post we have up currently which talks about about a web development company defacing one of their clients websites, so I thought I'd explore the topic a little bit more on DF. The story in question is titled "Late Payment: A culture of Contempt" and it relates to a plastering company that collapsed in 2012. They basically got screwed out of £450k by a company that refused to pay them for their services. It also mentions a glazing company that sacrificed 40% of its turnover by refusing to supply the construction giant Balfour Beatty, due to the constant struggle of trying to wrestle their deserved payments from the company. The most astonishing piece of the article, however, is the fact (Source: Bacs - Payment Providers) that there is an estimated £36 billion worth of collective debt for SME's in the UK, a result of late payments. That is a lot of fucking money. I myself have had only brief issues of clients not paying, and I managed to wrestle the funds out of them after no more than a month or so and it was not for anywhere near the amounts mentioned above. I can only imagine the stress this put onto someone's shoulders - especially if they have other staff to pay, so that they can provide for their families. Has anyone here, or their company, suffered from late payments? How do you deal with those matters and what preventative measures do you put in place to avoid these situations?

The year is 1782; the place, London: the center of science and commerce, home to the newly rich and magnet to the desperately poor. Among the latter is the Giant, O'Brien, a freak of nature, a man of song and story who trusts in the old myths, in Irish kings and fairies. He has come to exhibit his size for money. He has, he soon finds, come to die. His opposite is a man of science, a society surgeon, the famed anatomist John Hunter, employer to a legion of grave robbers. He lusts after the Giant's corpse. Coin is offered. The Giant refuses. He will be buried, he will assume his throne in heaven. But money changes hands as friends are bribed. The Giant sickens, dies. Today, his bones may be seen by any curious stranger who visits the Huntarian Museum in London, part of the Royal College of Surgeons. Hailed as "an acute observer, fearless in exploring difficult subjects" (The Wall Street Journal), Mantel here tells of the fated convergence of two worldsIreland and England, poetry and scienceon the cusp of a new century. As belief wrestles knowledge, so The Giant, O'Brien calls to us from a fork in the road. It is a tale of its time, a timeless tale.
Mantel is one of the great twentieth-century storytellers...a novelist without peer in her generation." (Carey Harrison, San Francisco Chronicle) "She works with the sure skill of a novelist who cannot be unaware that this is her best book. - Peter Theroux

Gudda took refuge at Arrah, in Bihar. The city police took two months to arrest him. Mitra said Rao had pushed Guddas sister while she was skating along C.R. Avenue. Gudda threatened Rao. Raos parents sent him to a relatives house. He was back after three weeks, only to be murdered.

Horse breaks free from carriage on Hennepin Avenue bridge
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Minneapolis police shut down the Hennepin Avenue bridge Friday night after a horse broke free from its carriage and ran loose on the bridge. Police said the horse was spooked, but the "fearless mounted patrol unit took control of the equine and brought it back to their stable."
The driver of the carriage may have been injured. Southbound traffic on the Hennepin Avenue bridge was diverted during the response.
@MPD_PIO Our fearless mounted patrol unit took control of the equine and brought back to their stable. Safe and sound. OC— Minneapolis Police (@MPD_PIO) August 29, 2015

When it comes to the world of online casinos, the choices are endless and may be a bit confusing if you're new to the online gaming world. We here at Wonder Punter will do all the legwork for you in explaining all you need to know when it comes to choosing the best online slots available and more importantly… HOW TO WIN!
First thing to understand is online slots in nothing like the slot machines, slots or "one-armed bandits" that we call them that you will find in a local pub or bar floor. Those slot machines that we have grown accustomed to is 'you vs. machine' and those slot machines are programmed or set to payout at a level of around 82%; meaning the machine will pay out a winner of $82.00 for every $100.00 put into it.
We may of all seen it when a customer drops a boatload of money into slot machine then walks away a loser only to have the next person drop in a few bucks and collect? That's because the machine is full and needs to payout… and you just so happen to be the "lucky"one on the end of that windfall.

With online slots, that method of payouts simply doesn't work and neither do the slots you will find in Las Vegas for example as they work the same with online slot machines. But rather than bore you with the specifics of how online and Vegas slots work, to keep it simple they work on a Random Number Generator that picks a various combination of numbers that corresponds to reel numbers; of course there are lot of low paying symbols to pick from but just one for the jackpot or wildcard symbols. So, in short… are online slots really random?
As we continue to grow our online casino presence here at Wonder Punter, we invite you to review our online guides and strategies when it comes to giving you that extra advantage to being a consistent WINNER versus the online slots. One important discovery we have come to know about online slots is that they are not totally random; and this is due to the many patterns we have witnessed and recorded in our experiences with online slots.
Ask yourself this question: How is it possible for an online casino to state that their slots payout between 96%-99% for example? It's because actual authority companies test these machines then record their findings in official audited statements. With that said, the best way to actually win playing online slots is knowing exactly which machines are HIGH, MID or LOW variance… something the most casinos don't advertise.
A high variance machine for example will pay out less often than you want but will hit very big in runs.
Important! Keep in mind these 5 steps we are about to explain will not get you rich overnight but please understand these 5 steps so that you can increase your chances of being a daily winner when it comes to online slots.
- Choose the right online casino for you (this is important as we will explain below)
- For USA players you will need a Debit or Credit Card (Prepaid cards will also work but check beforehand with the Casino)
- Choose high variance machines and play at high stakes (don't be afraid)
- Many and all casinos will give you a BONUS (choose your favorite)
- Don't treat your online slot playing experience as hobby… you're playing to win! (treat it as such)
Choosing the right online casino: We all want our winnings as soon as possible so play online casinos that pay out your winnings in less than 24 hours to your ewallets and make sure these casinos don't use the reverse withdrawal options; this is vital as you will want to be able to move between different casinos and along with it your money so you can build on it. The following slot software providers are what we recommend– Realtime Gaming, Betsoft, Playtech and Net Entertainment. We recommend ignoring all others
Here is the BEST list of online casinos and their software providers that pay out fast winnings and don't have annoying reverse withdrawal periods and the best part– most don't require any identification documents to cashout!
- Raging Bull– RTG (Instant)
- Grand Fortune– RTG (Instant)
- Slots L.V– RTG, Betsoft, Propriety (payout time 12 hours)
- AC Casino– BetSoft (payout time 12 hours)
- ClubWorld Casino– RTG (payout time 12 hours)
Payouts: Want your money quick and pain free as possible? In the USA the options are limited, But most Online Casinos will happily pay winnings instantly back to your Card,by Wire or Fast Couriered Check "Best for those that win large amounts", For players from Canada, UK, Europe, Australia etc payments can be deposited and withdrawn immediately using an Ewallet like Neteller or Skrill. By far the best and fastest method "Especially for High Rollers" Is BitCoin.
Play High Variance Slots at High Stakes– Keep in mind you need to play at stakes of at least 0.90 per spin, 2.00 for Net Entertainment slots. EX: If you deposit $100 then look for slots that play at no lower than $1.80 per spin. Remember, You want to hit these slots hard as you will be playing high variance and high stakes wanting big wins, cashing out and then moving on.
Select the best Casino BONUS: Taking advantage of welcome casino bonuses are an excellent way to boost your bankroll/balance, which will allow you to hit the slots hard BUT they do come with playthrough requirements. Hitting these playthrough requirements are not difficult to achieve if playing on high stakes on slots.
Play to win: If you are in it to win it… you cannot treat this as a hobby and expect to live the life of riley. A reasonable expectation is to cash out $1000 for every $100 deposited. Hit your target, cash out but leave a bit of money in to hit the slots hard one last time.
Make a living playing slots and earn a real INCOME;
Build yourself to around 10 online casinos that you can play regularly that pay out fast, while always checking for reload bonuses on ongoing casino promotions. A good goal to shoot for is to win from playing online slots every 3 sessions. EX: If your target is $1000 winnings from $100 deposit and you play 9 casinos a day then your payday will be $3000 WON from $900 deposited…. that's over a $2000 payday! I can live with that…

The only place still fly heraldic imperial eagles, abounds mythical legendary wolf and lynx hunting. However, this paradise is threatened. Oaks are dying victims of a process called "dry". Scientists estimate that on current trends the forest could disappear. The problem is aggravated due to the overpopulation of herbivores that impede natural forest regeneration.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for California Baptist University filmmaking, you may think about Emporia State University academic calendar 2017 for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

1995 Chevrolet Tahoe - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
A very decent used 4x4
By eric james on
Vehicle1995 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4dr SUV
ReviewI've only owned my 95 tahoe a few months. I wanted to upgrade from my old rusty 91 GMC Jimmy with 240,000 miles. I got it way less than what the dealer wanted. $2,800. I had cash and he was ready to take it. Only 138,000 miles and it runs perfect. I did have to replace all 4 tires and the front shocks but I expected that from test driving it. Never drove it in snow yet but in mud from hard rain it went right through it, plenty of interior room and comfortable. I did replace the original 245/75-16 tires with 265/75-16 tires. A little wider and about 1 1/4 inch taller. I gained a mile a gallon from that. It's really a great vehicle for its age. Plenty of room inside and to work under the hood if repairs were needed. I love the standard 350 engine. Plenty of power and it's the most common engine ever to replace or buy parts for.
Best FeaturesLots of interior room. Attractive looking for a 13 year old vehicle. Very comfortable ride. Decent mileage for an older large vehicle, I'm getting 14 mpg. Using premium gas, and I don't hammer the gas a lot. But I live in the Ozarks so it's a lot of hills and twisty roads.
Worst Features
