Global Warming
The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains—hangs in the balance.

Fabi has everything a girl could possibly want: sweet, beautiful, charming, with a winning smile and a magnetic personality.
WHICH IS odd considering Fabi lacks the confidence all these assets normally inspire. Fabi would like to have larger, more shapely breasts (they are more than adequate as far as we are concerned); she wants to have a more memorable, more interesting face which, again, would merely be gilding the lily. As the Arabs say, only Allah is perfect, and Fabi is as close as it gets.
Fabi is a real Parisian lady, chic, sexy, skyscraper tall with long, shiny dark hair that she flicks casually over shoulders, and a smile that would melt the hardest heart. She works as a hostess at big stores and marketing fairs, handing out flyers and promoting products with the sheer power of her presence.
At 21, she is new to nude modeling and nurtures a secret ambition to be a singer.

Fabi in Bed Reviewing this gallery after watching the new Fabi video, my initial impression that these photographs represent some of Petter's strongest work to date still stands. This series is just superlative in both its pure aesthetic eroticism--some of the images are just striking art-- and Petter's exquisite capture of Fabi's incredibly sensual spirit. They are, quite simply, some of the sexiest photographs I've ever seen, and worthy of a museum show. Bravo Petter, and encore!!!

Fantabulous Fabi Bravo, Petter! The ever sexy breathing poem called Fabi comes through once again to tittilate and delight. The chemistry between you is as alive as ever and your video technique here is great with the mixed-in stills. I give this video a full 9 inches on the chubbometer (and would like to give Fabi the same ).
|Poetry Man United States
Erotic Hypnotic Fabi Oh, how I want to spoon with you Fabi, touch you as delicately as you touch yourself! Thank you for giving yourself to the camera, to Petter, to us...surely you are the sexiest road to heaven this poor boy has ever seen!

Let me be the first to say yummm.... Fabi is one of the hottest Hegre's women, and this film shows her sexxy side. Definately a 5-star film.
|Lawrence United States
Sweet Slinky Fabi Fabi is hands down one of the sexiest creatures on the planet and this video captures her wild, cat-like sensuality beautifully. Well done, Petter: we can never have enough of this breathing poem called Fabi!
|Lawrence United States
Poetry In Motion Very sexy girl that I had someone not yet discovered here as a member. Better than this movie, though, are the exquisite photographs Petter has blessed us with, particularly the collection "Fabi In Bed," which I think is some of his best work to date. Fabi, you are an incredibly sexy model and a gorgeous creature to behold--you literally seem to bloom before the camera, like some rare and beautiful orchid in the woods that glows upon discovery. I don't know where the chemistry comes from, but you have given Petter and us some of the most exquisite images imaginable and some of the best erotic art I've ever seen. Keep up the fabulous work, both of you, and, Fabi, don't you dare let a surgeon near those beautiful breasts of yours or I'll never write you another love letter!
|Tomas Czech Republic
nice movie Fabi is nice, but little more naturalness would be good. She work on me very hard..But the movie is very nice..
|Zilla United States
Siempre Fabi ! Never enough Fabi. Petter, how in the world do take this video without attacking? Does Luba stand nearby in case of, um, erectile emergencies? Fabi, your are my favorite by far ... what an amazingly breathtaking hottie you are! Please continue with Petter, as I will give him money just to see you!
|Bruce Canada
Fabulous Fabi Unfortunately there are only 5 stars. Nice work Petter, as always. I have been in love with you Fabi, ever since I first saw you. Your freckles are a turn-on. Amongst other things. Don't change anything. I want to see more, more, more of you. You should come to Vancouver and grace our city.

It Just Keeps on Getting Better Fabi is one of the best models of a great group! She has a wonderful sensuous nature and a great body. I loved the film. More Please. More.
|RJ United Kingdom
Fabi, aerodynamic eroticism ! Oh to be the fan blown air caressing every centimeter of those sleek, streamlined curves, gliding across her soft golden skin, dancing across the goosebumps on taut, finely muscled buttocks, accelerating across her flat stomach to the inviting, undulating landscape of her firm, pert breasts, pausing to circle her stiffening nipples before dissipating across the graceful line of her shoulder ... desparately attempting to join the draft back to the wind machine for another wonderful journey across the magical form that is Fabi.
|Rob United States
Not just another photo shoot! I love Fabi, of course, she's amazing (what a body!). But what I'd really like to highlight is that she's posing and moving for the *video camera* in this film ... it is *not* just a taped version of a photo shoot like many others. More like this! Very, very sexy.
|Jack Netherlands
A true beauty A really good film, this is how I like them, and Fabi is simply beautifull, she has a great body (love her bottoms). More please?
|Dave United States
Peter, sometimes when you make a movie you make it as a series of shots. You are a superb still photographer. I for one would like to see better continuity in movies.

Consciousness In The Cell
Lysosome Enzymes at the Service of the Body
Many processes we are unaware of take place within our bodies. These processes are carried out by some 100 trillion cells, all performing their duties without fault, and without fail.
The many structures inside these cells know their duties very well. Some of them produce energy, others produce protein, some act as transporters, and others are used as storage depots.
One of the apparently conscious structures found in cells is the lysosome, which may be considered as the cell's digester. Many degradative processes can be carried out as a result of the enzymes these organelles contain. Aside from breaking down and destroying cells that are dead, diseased, or no longer useful, and puncturing and digesting the membrane that surrounds a structure, lysosome enzymes also destroy certain cells that are continuing to grow in the body. These breakdown processes carried out by the lysosome enzymes are of the utmost importance for health and ultimately, for survival.
For example, the womb of a pregnant woman develops at a much greater rate than normal to accommodate the development of her fetus—a necessary step for the birth of a healthy baby. Once the baby is born, however, no longer is there any need for such a spacious womb. Now this organ, which has increased so much, must return to its original size. The lysosome enzymes carry out this process. When labor is over, certain cells send this news to the lysosomes, which already know very well what they have to do and begin secreting the necessary enzymes. In ten days and at a very fast rate, these enzymes decrease the size of the womb by a factor of forty, returning it to its original size, for the health of the body.
Lysosomes are also found in the heads of sperm. A spermatozoal cell uses the lysosomes it carries to break through the membrane surrounding the egg it seeks to penetrate. Thus these enzymes' degradative properties facilitate the fertilization of the egg cell by breaking through its protective layer.
As these examples show, every mechanism in our bodies works in ways that complement every other. Just as one system allows the womb to grow during pregnancy, there is also a system to return it back to normal. In the same way, specially placed in the sperm is an enzyme with the ability to break through the egg's protective layer.
Darwinists have strayed so far from logic and reason as to claim that this perfect integrated system, which continues to proceed in a flawless fashion, is only the result of certain coincidences. The most perfect workings within these mechanisms, and their harmonious and systematic workings with the whole body, display the perfection of God's creation for everyone to see.
1. The sperm enters the egg by breaking through its outer membrane.

Post subject: Haven't played in eons.
Federation Commander is a grand game and over time I've accumulated quite a collection. And while it's been fun firing photons and phasers, I have to admit it's been a very very long time since I played. On the one hand this is partly due to my circumstances, having limited time available; on the other hand my gaming groups tend to prefer simpler stuff or dice-free eurogames with a lot of square wooden cubes to move around. So while I think Fed Com is a fantastic game, it is one that deserves to be played, and not collecting dust in my closet.
So, I'm considering letting it all go. (I assure you it took a while to come to this conclusion.) Which leaves me in a bit of a quandary. What is the best way to do it? I thought I'd post here first and see if any diehard fans would want first chance at it, but I don't know how to go about selling what I have exactly.
Everything is in mint shape, and I kept all the product covers and sleeves. But I also organized everything in baggies an plastic organizers. I think at this point it would be impossible for me to separate all the counters apart, so I'd have to let the whole thing go as a set. Which is a bunch.
Here is a list and the current retail prices. Notice the heafty total at the bottom:
KLINGON Border #4001, Retail $59.95
ROMULAN Border #4002, Retail $59.95
REFERENCE Rulebook #4020, Retail $14.95
BRIEFING #1 #4021, Retail $12.95
KLINGON Attack #4101, Retail $29.95
ROMULAN Attack #4102, Retail $29.95
BATTLESHIPS Attack #4104, Retail $29.95
DISTANT Kingdoms #4105, Retail $34.95
HYDRAN Attack #4107, Retail $29.95
WAR And Peace #4108, Retail $29.95
Booster Pack #0 #4200 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #1 #4201 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack# 2 #4202 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #9 #4209 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #16 #4216 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #17 #4217 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #18 #4218 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #19 #4219 Retail $9.95
Booster Pack #20 #4220 Retail $9.95
Squadron Box #0 #4300 Retail $34.95
Squadron Box #1 #4301 Retail $34.95
Squadron Box #2 #4302 Retail $34.95
Squadron Box #9 #4309 Retail $34.95
Sooo... What on earth should I charge for this? Is $200.00 too much? (About 2/3rds off?) Shipping is going to be pricey too, probably $20+. I also painted or partialy painted alot of the miniatures, along with decals. (One of the heavy Kligons broke off the plastic post).
Anyone interested? Is this the right place, or would an online auction be better? Any other suggestions on the best way to handle it?

A couple years ago, I picked up a similar set from another BBS Member who had stopped playing, for $200.
It didn't include Distant Kingdoms, Hydran Attack, War & Peace or the Sqd Boxes.
With that experience behind me, personally would ask at least $300, whether you add the postage or include it up to you, really up to how much someone may want it.
Always the option of piecemilling or the whole set on E-bay or similar sight, you just have to hope someone willing to pay what you want is looking when you put it up.

So maybe I'm pricing this too low? Well, I can always place it up for auction and see what happens. I think at this point its way too tough to try and break it up. I think my paint jobs were pretty good, maybe that will be worth it to someone. Thanks!

I strongly suggest splitting up the miniatures from the rest of the game items. They can easily be handled separately, and should get you more money that way.

That's a good suggestion to spilt out the minis.
Kind of a sad thread I know, but hopefuly they'll all end up in a good home and see lots of play!

Barclays refunds grandmother's £68k following vishing scam
A grandmother who was tricked out of £68,000 by conmen has spoken of her "delight" at getting her money back.
Jenny Parkinson, 65, from Christchurch, Dorset, was duped into calling what she thought was her bank's fraud unit and moving funds to two "secure" Barclays accounts, which were then emptied.
After she appealed to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), Barclays agreed to a "goodwill" refund.
Police are investigating the "vishing" - voice phishing - scam.
Mrs Parkinson said she had received a phone call in June from a man claiming to be from Tesco Bank, who said her card could have been fraudulently used.
She said she had told the caller she also banked with Santander and he advised her to check her accounts by calling her bank.
FSO investigators said that while Mrs Parkinson had put the phone down but the caller did not hang up, so the line had remained open
As a result, when she dialled the number for Santander, a different man was already on the other end of the line and claimed to be from the bank's fraud department.
He gave her two account numbers and sort codes
and she transferred her savings online while he remained on the phone
Checks with Santander later revealed the money had been paid into Barclays accounts and withdrawn.
A Santander spokesman said the bank would never ask a customer to transfer funds.
Mrs Parkinson appealed to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) for help in September and Barclays agreed to refund her as a "gesture of goodwill".
The 65-year-old said she thought she would "have to learn to live without my life's savings".
"I now feel so much for people who are victims of crime - I am so fortunate.
"There have been very dark moments but it's absolutely incredible.
"I've got my retirement back on track."
FSO spokesman Martyn James said he could not comment on Mrs Parkinson's case but added that any complaint was dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
He said the scam had been "convincing" and called for action by both telecoms companies to remedy the flaw in hanging up phone lines and banks to enforce more checks on large money transfers

'Japanese Beethoven' admits he is a fraud
Mamoru Samuragochi
Mamoru Samuragochi, now 50, completely lost his hearing aged 35
A deaf composer who has been dubbed "Japan's Beethoven" has admitted hiring someone else to write his music for nearly two decades.
Mamoru Samuragochi shot to fame in the mid-1990s and is most famous for his Hiroshima Symphony No 1, dedicated to those killed in the 1945 atomic blast.
The 50-year-old has now confessed he has not composed his own music since 1996.
The real composer of the musician's "hits" has not been formally named.
According to his now defunct website, Samuragochi was taught how to play the piano by his mother when he was four and began playing Beethoven and Bach when he was 10.
He made his first breakthrough creating music for video games including Resident Evil and Onimusha.
He completely lost his hearing when he was 35 but continued to compose music, apparently relying on his "absolute pitch".
His Hiroshima Symphony No 1, completed in 2003, became a major classical music hit, selling more than 100,000 copies in Japan.
It went on to become an anthemic tribute known informally as the "Symphony of Hope", after Samuragochi was filmed meeting survivors in the tsunami-battered Tohoku region in 2011.
'Mentally distressed'
Apologising on his behalf, Samuragochi's solicitor said the musician was "deeply sorry as he has betrayed fans and disappointed others".
"He knows he could not possibly make any excuse for what he has done. He is mentally distressed and not in a condition to properly express his own thoughts".
Japanese broadcaster NHK quoted Samuragochi saying: "I started hiring the person to compose music for me around 1996, when I was asked to make movie music for the first time.
Daisuke Takahashi
Daisuke Takahashi is due to compete for Japan at the Sochi Games
"I had to ask the person to help me for more than half the work because the ear condition got worse."
It is believed Samuragochi paid for the commissions while giving the ideas for his work to the other composer.
"I've been told that there are certain circumstances that make it hard for the person [who composed the works] to come out in public," his lawyer said.
"Samuragochi has therefore come to describe himself as the sole composer."
Although the identity of the "ghost". composer has not been formally identified, Japanese media has named him as music teacher Aragaki Takashi.
Japanese Winter Olympics hopeful, figure skater Daisuke Takahashi, has also been caught up in the scandal as his programme includes a dance to Samuragochi's Sonatina for Violin - also not penned by the musician.
Nippon Columbia, Samuragochi's record company, said it was "flabbergasted and deeply infuriated" by his revelation.
"We had been assured by him that he himself composed the works," it said.

A woman pretended she was a senior Chinese Communist with magical powers to dupe victims out of thousands of pounds
Ms Yang adopted a 'superhuman' alter-ego to trick her lovers out of money
KASHMIRA GANDER Author Biography Wednesday 19 February 2014
A woman in China is on trial after she conned victims out of thousands of pounds by adopting the "superhuman" alter-ego of a made-up senior Communist Party member and police officer who could turn invisible.
The 54-year-old, known only as Ms Yang, persuaded her two female lovers and a pensioner that she was a "superhuman" police officer who worked for Interpol, and the Chinese Ministry of Finance, according to Beijing News.
She was found out in August last year when one of the lovers uncovered that 'Mr Li' was in fact a woman.
The scam began when Ms Yang was in need of money and allegedly faked documents to gain access to an internet forum for middle-aged singletons where she pretended to be 'Mr Li'.
Her first victim, 48-year-old Ms Zhang who was described by the newspaper as 'superstitious', believed 'Mr Li' when he said he was able to turn invisible and worked as a high-flying police officer and civil servant.
To cement her story, Ms Yang cut off her hair and adopted a deep voice. The pair soon moved in together and Ms Yang fooled Ms Zhang into believing 'Mr Li' used his magic powers to help Interpol.
Having gained Ms Zhang's trust, Ms Yang persuaded her to send her alter-ego 120,000 yuan (£11,840) to "receive international friends" after 'Mr Li' lost his wallet.
Ms Yang then fled their home and actually vanished out of Ms Zhang's life.
When Ms Zhang contacted the Ministry of Finance to track down 'Mr Li' she was told that they had never heard of him.
Meanwhile, Ms Yang had moved on to a 52-year-old named Ms Song whose laptop she stole. She also targeted a pensioner who lost £400.
The story fell apart when Ms Zhang approached the police looking for 'Mr Li' only to be told that he was, in fact, a 54-year-old woman who had previously spent 11 years in jail for fraud.
Ms Yang will now go on trial for the second time, according to prosecutors from Shijingshan in western Beijing.

Fraudster Lisa Marie Burch jailed for three-and-a-half years over $65,000 con
A fraudster who conned people out of more than $65,000 by claiming to be a lawyer for a justice organisation and a family court lawyer has been jailed for three-and-a-half years. Picture: File image Source: News Limited
Lisa Marie Burch — dubbed 'Lisa the Liar' by local media — was sentenced in the Perth District Court today for 29 dishonesty charges including fraud causing a detriment, fraudulent falsification of records and fabricating evidence with intent to mislead.
In one case from December 2012, she pretended to be involved with John Button's Innocence Project WA, convincing people to deposit money into her bank account under the guise that it was covering legal fees in a bid to prove the innocence of family or friends.
Burch created fraudulent documents in the name of the project and falsely signed legal documents, receiving almost $29,000 from the scheme.
In another case from November 2012, Burch purported to be a lawyer acting for people in family court matters using a falsified law firm document and pocketed more than $34,000.
In a third case from last June, Burch pretended to be a family court lawyer for a victim who had moved from Sydney to Perth and received $2700 from the woman.
Burch has a long history of fraud, which includes faking vaginal cancer, even going to the extent of shaving her head and telling her own children she was dying.
Under the name Lisa Marie Mackay, she forged hospital reports to raise funds for special cancer treatment and received donations after publicising her fake plight in the media.
She was sentenced to 28 months in prison, which was when she met Mr Button, who was wrongfully convicted of the manslaughter of his girlfriend, Rosemary Anderson, in 1963.
Mr Button founded the Innocence Project WA after his 40-year fight for justice resulted in his conviction being overturned in 2002.

A particularly nasty one:
'You have cancer' cruel hoax emails sent to people in Cornwall
7:00am Tuesday 18th March 2014 in News .
Cornish people are among thousands sent hoax emails suggesting they have cancer.
The messages that look like they are from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is suspected to be a scam.
It says the contents are likely to be distressing and has reported the hoax to the police.
Sir Andrew Dillon, the chief executive of NICE, said: "A spam email purporting to come from NICE is being sent to members of the public regarding cancer test results.
"This email is likely to cause distress to recipients since it advises that 'test results' indicate they may have cancer.
"This malicious email is not from NICE and we are currently investigating its origin. We take this matter very seriously and have reported it to the police."
NICE adds: "

This is well OTT:
Tracy Johnson given cold weather payments while globetrotting, court told
A benefits cheat living a life "hard-working taxpayers could only dream of" received cold weather payments on her travels overseas, a court has heard.
Tracy Johnson, 52, said she suffered from agoraphobia, was "afraid of other people" and had not left the UK.
But Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard her travel diary described Buenos Aires as "so magical - like a new lover".
She is accused of changing her address to her mother's home in Powys to claim benefits. She denies fraud.
The court heard Ms Johnson, of Frome, Somerset, had claimed that she had not left the UK for years and that her fears and illnesses left her a "prisoner at home".
But the prosecution claims she travelled the world writing travel guides, cookbooks and steamy novels while falsely claiming benefits of almost £50,000
The defendant travelled to India, Spain and New York and in Argentina she set up her own tour company, Northwest Nomads.
The jury was told when in Goa, one of her postings on Facebook read: "I am one spoilt girl. Early lunch in the Himalaya Spa. Lunch here would be two weeks' wages in India."
Another diary entry reads: "1st thought. So relaxing, palm trees swaying. 2nd thought. People who come here and think it's India have made a big mistake - it's not like India it's like Miami with Saris."
Joanna James, prosecuting, read the defendant's profile from the LinkedIn business networking site to the jury in which she claimed to be an "author, photographer and tour director of Northwest Nomads from 2002 to the present time".
Another Facebook posting said: "If you are in Argentina get your hands on my favourite champagne bar none - it's pink and brut."
Ms James said: "Tracy Johnson was living the life that honest, decent, hard-working taxpayers could only dream of.
"It was absolute, blatant dishonesty,"
The court heard that Ms Johnson had claimed she needed physical and emotional support for agoraphobia, depression, hallucinations, anxiety, blackouts and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She wrote on a form: "I have severe agoraphobia and am entirely housebound. I am too afraid to go out, I can't go into a shop or office, I am afraid of other people.
"I have panic attacks, can't breath, I hallucinate, my legs give way in panic.
The trial continues.

Man jailed after lying on 1,000 NHS job applications
A man who made 1,000 applications using false details to get a job as a doctor has been jailed for 15 months.
Bai Bai Ahmed Kabia, 46, of Hathersage Gardens, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, was found guilty of 12 counts of fraud.
An investigation was launched when it was found a sample of applications contained misrepresentations over qualifications and employment history.
The judge at Newcastle Crown Court said his behaviour showed "breathtaking arrogance".
Kabia claimed to be registered as a doctor with the General Medical Council, to have been awarded an MSc from University College London and to be a member of the Royal College of Physicians - all of which was untrue.
'Powerful deterrent'
Kabia, who is stateless, had studied as a doctor in Russia and moved to the UK in 1994.
The court was told he trained as a podiatrist and worked for some time on a self-employed basis.
Last year, Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust contacted NHS Protect after interviewing him for a role.
NHS Protect then issued an alert to trusts across England and Wales, requesting any information on job applications he submitted.
Dave Horsley, anti-fraud specialist with NHS Protect, said: "Dr Kabia submitted job applications that he knew to be false, trying to deceive his potential employers.
"Had he been successful, Dr Kabia's appointment would have given him direct access to treat patients.
"The custodial sentence reflects the seriousness of these offences and will serve as a powerful deterrent to others."

Charity Johnson 'posed as Texas teenage student'
A woman in her early thirties posed as a teenager and attended a high school before the ruse was discovered, police in Texas have said.
Charity Johnson enrolled at New Life Christian School in Longview in October, claiming she was 15.
Ms Johnson was arrested on Tuesday when police were called to an apartment at which she was staying and she gave them a false name and birth date.
It is as yet unclear why the woman posed as a youth for several months.
'An attentive student'
Authorities were called to the home of a person who said she no longer wanted Ms Johnson living with her.
Ms Johnson was issued a trespass warning, and told officers her name was Charite Stevens and she was born in November 1997.
During their investigation, officers determined that identify to be false.
Jail records indicate Ms Johnson is 31, but police later told US media the woman is instead 34.
The principal at New Life Christian School told the Associated Press news agency Ms Johnson filled out her enrolment paperwork with a guardian in October.
"She acted like a 15, 16-year-old. She was an attentive student, respectful, did her homework," Stuart Newlin said.
"The why? Nobody seems to know why."

You may remember a man in his thirties who was a pupil at Scottish school back in the 1990s. Danny Baker tells of a fearsome bully at his school in the 1960s who was expelled when the authorities found out he was in his twenties. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Maybe it does?

Cambodian anti-trafficking campaigner Somaly Mam exposed as fraud
A Cambodian woman who for many years was the face of the country's campaign against sex trafficking has resigned from the foundation that carries her name after allegations were made that parts of her often-told story were untrue.
Somaly Mam, whose foundation's work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's television shows and who shared platforms with the likes of Angelina Jolie, resigned from the Somaly Mam Foundation after the latest in a series of articles accusing her of inconsistencies appeared.
Among the claims she had made that were alleged to be untrue was that she was an orphan and had been abducted as a child. Doubts were also cast on an account about women being killed in a 2004 attack on her organisation's offices in Phnom Penh. Questions have also been raised about claims that her teenage daughter was kidnapped and gang-raped in "revenge" for her anti-trafficking work.
Ms Mam is known around the world and her story was cited as a inspirational tale by everyone from New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof to Hillary Clinton. Her 2005 autobiography, The Road of Lost Innocence, became an international hit.
Ms Mam's resignation came after her NGO, which has raised millions of pounds to fight sex-trafficking in South East Asia, hired lawyers to investigate her story following questions being raised by the media. The lawyers, Goodwin Procter LLP spent two months going through the NGO's records and files. ...

'Witch doctor' faces jail for £1m con tricks
A "witch doctor" who conned vulnerable people into giving her £1m to pay for spiritual cures for their serious health problems is facing a substantial jail term, a judge said on Thursday.
Juliette D'Souza, 59, claimed the money would be hung from a magic tree in the Amazon rainforest, but actually spent it on antiques, jewellery, Louis Vuitton handbags, holidays, flights and renting flats in Hampstead, London.
She was found guilty yesterday of 23 counts of obtaining property by deception and fraud and is due to be sentenced today.
Judge Ian Karsten told her lawyer: "I am concerned with your client's record of dishonesty, with the fact that she faces a substantial prison sentence.
"With this history of confidence trickery I really can't rely on your client turning up tomorrow. She will have to be remanded in custody straight away."
D'Souza claimed she had known Princess Diana and that she had cured John Cleese's daughter of cancer. She also said she could introduce a young singer to Simon Cowell. However, in reality she was a convicted fraudster who had served time in prison.
In one case, a 41-year-old woman paid D'Souza £176,000 to help her conceive. When the woman did become pregnant, D'Souza told her to abort the baby, saying it was deformed.
In another, Sunday Times photographer Jocelyn Bain Hogg paid her £43,000 to help his mother, who was undergoing heart surgery. She told him that "his mother would die if he didn't pay".
A retired solicitor, Richard Collier-Wright, paid D'Souza £7,000 to try to cure him of leukaemia, while the mother of a 10-year-old boy with Down's syndrome handed over £42,000 to deal with his behavioural problems.
The jury at Blackfriars Crown Court took just an hour on Thursday to find D'Souza guilty.
She showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out.

About a week back I got an email at work from a conference centre that we deal with in Newcastle warning us that they have not changed their bank details and that we should ignore any letter or emails claiming they had as it was part of a scam.
Yesterday I got a snail mail letter from a business in Middlesbrough saying more or less the same thing.
It must be the current 'in' scam.

Surrogate mother who claimed she miscarried Osama bin Laden's grandchild has been jailed
Woman jailed after faking pregnancies to rake in almost €19,000 from desperate couples
A surrogate mother from Bristol who claimed she miscarried the grandchild of Osama bin Laden has been jailed for three years and four months after faking pregnancies to rake in £15,000 from desperate couples.
Louise Pollard, 28, agreed to carry babies for two couples and pretended to inseminate herself before sharing the joyful news that she was expecting on three occasions.
Pollard then began "milking" the couples for thousands of pounds, claiming she required money after suffering a car crash, was behind on her rent and had been forced to move house.
Within days of the couples demanding proof that Pollard was pregnant, the mother-of-two pretended she had suffered a miscarriage - leaving them "heartbroken".
Bristol Crown Court heard Pollard's deception was uncovered when a pregnancy confirmation letter she sent one of her victims was found to be a forgery.
Blonde Pollard later admitted three charges of fraud by false representation relating to the faked pregnancies in March 2012, May 2012 and November 2012.
Judge Graham Cottle jailed Pollard, who sobbed in the dock, for three years and four months for her "brutal and heartless" actions.
"In about 2010, you achieved notoriety when agreeing to act as a surrogate mother for the son of Osama bin Laden," the judge said.
"Be those facts as they may, what this case is about is how you agreed firstly to be a surrogate mother for Mr and Mrs Barnett, a childless couple who had been trying unsuccessfully for many years to have a child."
Judge Cottle said Pollard's actions were "deliberate, sustained, callous acts" that had left both families devastated.
In 2010, Pollard appeared in national newspapers following her arrangement to carry a child for Omar bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, and his wife.
She had already completed two successful surrogacies but miscarried the Bin Laden pregnancy, the court heard.
In late 2011, Josephine and Keith Barnett contacted Pollard, who was registered as a potential surrogate mother, online, prosecutor Rosaleen Collins said.
On January 26 2012, Mr and Mrs Barnett met Pollard and agreed to pay her £20,000 to carry their child.
Pollard insisted she would carry out the artificial insemination herself as she did not want to undergo the procedure at a clinic.
"She did say that it was her ambition to be the most prolific surrogate mother in the country," Ms Collins added.
On February 22, the Barnetts travelled to Pollard's home in Bristol and she disappeared into a bedroom to carry out the artificial insemination before being paid £1,000.
She announced she was pregnant on March 10 and the Barnetts paid a further £2,600. But weeks later, on March 31, Pollard claimed she had suffered a miscarriage. ..

Berlin airport hired fake engineer to design fire system
The man who designed a malfunctioning smoke extraction system at Berlin Brandenburg Airport – one of the reasons for the delayed airport opening – was not a trained engineer, German journalists revealed.
It's still unclear how a person without engineering qualifications could hold a key position at Berlin's new airport for around eight years, being entrusted with the designing of the fire safety system there.
Alfredo di Mauro, 52, was in the job from 2006 up to May 2014, when he was fired. The airport's leadership explained his dismissal by "serious deficiencies" in the project di Mauro was engaged in, saying trust in him was "now finally broken."
In 2012, the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) was canceled because of malfunctioning of the fire safety and smoke exhaust systems. The failures have still not been rectified.
Stern magazine said in its Tuesday's exclusive report that di Mauro was not a qualified engineer, but only an engineering draftsman. Di Mauro said allegations of fraud on his part were "completely absurd" and explained the whole situation as a misunderstanding.
"I had business cards, where it stood," di Mauro said in a statement. "That was a mistake. They have all taken me for an engineer. Because I have not contradicted that."
In an interview to Spreeradio, cited by the Local, Di Mauro said an engineering qualification "wasn't necessary for the work we carried out." ...

Quite a few (still-standing, still in use) structures dating from Roman times were also designed by people with no engineering qualifications. Perhaps we should stop using them because of this?

Associated Press
LONDON (AP) -- Margaret Thatcher was not just a political titan, she was a cultural icon -- skewered by comedians, transformed into a puppet and played to Oscar-winning perfection by Meryl Streep.
With her uncompromising politics, ironclad certainty, bouffant hairstyle and ever-present handbag, the late British leader was grist for comedians, playwrights, novelists and songwriters whether they loved her or -- as was more often the case -- hated her.
Thatcher's free-market policies transformed and divided Britain, unleashing an outpouring of creative anger from her opponents. A generation of British comedians, from Ben Elton to Alexei Sayle, honed their talents lampooning Thatcher.
To the satirical puppeteers of popular 1980s TV series "Spitting Image," Thatcher was a cigar-smoking bully, a butcher with a bloody cleaver, a domineering leader ruling over her docile Cabinet. One famous sketch showed Thatcher and her ministers gathered for dinner. Thatcher ordered steak. "And what about the vegetables?" the waitress asked. "They'll have the same as me," Thatcher replied.
In the U.S., "Saturday Night Live" got in on the act -- albeit more gently -- making the Iron Lady the subject of several skits. In one of them, Monty Python member Michael Palin played the prime minister shortly after her election in 1979, poking fun at her helmet of hair.
Pop was political in Thatcher's day, as the bitter social divisions of the 1980s sparked an angry musical outpouring.
"Whenever I'm asked to name my greatest inspiration, I always answer 'Margaret Thatcher,'" musician Billy Bragg, one of her most vocal opponents, said in 2009. "Truth is, before she came into my life, I was just your run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter."
Bragg was a member of the 1980s Red Wedge movement that campaigned against Thatcher and the Conservatives and for the Labour Party.
"I see no joy, I see only sorrow, I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow," sang The Beat, urging Thatcher to resign in "Stand Down Margaret."
In "Tramp the Dirt Down," Elvis Costello imagined the day of Thatcher's death: "When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down."
Former Smiths frontman Morrissey went even further, lyrically fantasizing about "Margaret on the Guillotine."
But for some later musicians, Thatcher was a positive figure.
Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell -- who sported a Union Jack mini-dress as part of the 1990s girl group -- tweeted Monday: "Thinking of our 1st Lady of girl power, Margaret Thatcher, a green grocer's daughter who taught me anything is possible."
Thatcher has made appearances in several novels written or set in the 1980s.
In Salman Rushdie's 1988 book, "The Satanic Verses," she was "Mrs. Torture." Despite his political opposition to Thatcher, Rushdie remembered her on Monday as a "considerate" woman who had offered him police protection after the novel brought a death sentence from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.
She was a major, though mostly unseen, presence in Alan Hollinghurst's Booker Prize-winning 2004 novel "The Line of Beauty," set during the height of Thatcher's rule. The prime minister's appearance at a Conservative lawmaker's party -- where she sends the crowd into a tizzy and dances to the Rolling Stones with the novel's young protagonist -- forms the dizzying pivot of Hollinghurst's tale of 80s power and excess.
Thatcher's transformation into a stage and screen character started not long after she took office. Thatcher's personal papers include an account of an excruciating 1981 evening that she and her husband, Denis, spent at a West End farce titled "Anyone for Denis?"
On stage, Thatcher remains a potent figure, a shorthand for the 1980s. In the Olivier- and Tony Award-winning musical "Billy Elliot," coal miners sing "Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher," a song with music by Elton John and lyrics that say: "We all celebrate today 'cause it's one day closer to your death."
The London production of "Billy Elliot" kept the song in on Monday, after polling the opinion of the audience.
West End theatergoers are currently flocking to see "The Audience," a play about meetings between Queen Elizabeth II and the 12 prime ministers of her long reign. The play is a gentle liberal drama, and Haydn Gwynne's strident Thatcher is gently rebuked by the monarch over her opposition to sanctions against apartheid South Africa.
On-screen, the character of Thatcher had a jokey cameo at the end of the 1981 James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only," but for left-wing directors, she was no laughing matter. Stephen Frears' "My Beautiful Laundrette" was one of several 1980s films that depicted Thatcher's Britain as a land of poverty and racism as well as economic enterprise.

Book Description One of the greatest chess legends of all time, Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935), is best known for founding the Hypermodernism school of chess, which emerged after World War I to challenge the chess ideologies of traditional central European masters. This first full-scale biography of Nimzowitsch chronicles his early life in Denmark, his family and education, and his fascination with the game that would become the focus of his life. Also included are explorations of his tournament games and records, his dispute with influential chess teacher Siegbert Tarrasch, and his role in the development of Hypermodern Chess. With detailed accounts of nearly 450 games and the only narrative of Nimzowitsch from 1914 to 1924, a period formerly cloaked in mystery, this volume offers the most thorough profile available of one of chess's greatest innovators.

Introduction:Bonesteele upland prairie is a Heritage Park located amongst the gently rounded Waldo Hills of Marion County. As recently as the early 1800's, Bonesteele supported grasslands and open oak savannah. Since then, Bonesteele has been planted with cultivated grasses and used as a pasture. Currently, Bonesteele is in the process of re-creation. The Park supports a cultivated commercial crop, a late-seral deciduous forest and a newly planted upland prairie. On September 27 2000, approximately one acre of Bonesteele Park was planted with seed from one of the few, remaining upland prairies in the Willamette Valley, Shoulder to Shoulder Farms in Wren. The weather was warm and sunny with very little wind.
The goals of Bonesteele Prairie are 1) to establish a native grassland community and 2) to promote the long-term success of Willamette Valley restoration. The near-term objectives are 1) to establish reproductively viable populations of genetically local native plants 2) to provide a relocation site for locally-salvaged plants, and 3) to exclude aggressive exotic plants.
Planting in Fall 2000This is the first year of intensive seeding at Bonesteele. After collecting seed during the summer of 2000, we acquired enough material to plant approximately 1 acre at a seeding rate of 10 pounds per acre. We selected Sections A and B to plant in the fall of 2000. Sections C, D and E, which remain unplanted, have received treatments for control and suppression of weeds. These areas will be planted to native prairie as seeds become available. Our planting is designed as a Demonstration Project without full replication and statistical testing. This approach will allow us to determine the relative success of our planting methods and serve to guide future restoration efforts at Bonesteele Prairie, given a limited amount of available seed.
Test Sections (see attached map)Section A: 0.2 acres located south of the parking strip Section B: 0.6 acres of planting area located north of the parking lot, east and west of mature oak Section C: 0.3 acres located between the parking lot and west property lineSection D: 0.8 acres located north of C, and south of commercial crop along the western borderSection E: 1.1 acres immediately adjacent to Section B, which contains oak seedlings
Section A: Roadside Hydro-seeding Section A is geographically isolated from the Experimental Area, resulting in micro-site conditions that are hotter and drier. This section is surrounded by a gravel parking lot on 3 sides and an asphalt road on the 4th side, surfaces which absorb and re-radiate heat. To account for these differences in site conditions, Section A has been treated independently from Section B.
The proximity of Section A to the road provides us with an excellent opportunity test hydro-seeding techniques for applying native plants to roadside areas, an important issue facing Roadside Vegetation Management in Marion County. The planting design has been developed to concur with new roadside re-vegetation protocols for Marion County. Results from planting tests in Section A will be compiled with county-wide data to test the efficacy of hydro-seeding along roadsides.
Section A PretreatmentThe pre-sowing treatment of Section A differs from the other areas because it 1) has never been burned and 2) has received solarization.
Section A Planting Design:On October 12, 2000, the Open Mix seed from Shoulder to Shoulder Farms was applied to Section A using a hydro-seeder. Section A was divided into 3 equal areas measuring 68' X 32'. Each area received 14.5 oz of seed. Three seeding trials were applied in a random design: 1) seed was hand broadcast into Plot 4 then covered with hydro-mulch, 2) seed was mixed into the hydro-seed mulch and applied to Plot 5, and 3) seed was mixed with 16-16-16 fertilizer and applied to Plot 3 with the hydro-seed mulch.
Section A Monitoring planWe will monitor Section A for density and occurrence of both native plants and exotic plants using cover estimates. The number, size and permanence of monitoring plots will be determined by on-the-ground variability. Section B: Experimental SowingThe size and shape of Section B was determined by the amount of seed available to plant. We used a seeding rate of 10 pounds of seed per acre. We had 2 seed types available, pre-mixed and individually mixed, to test drilling verses broadcast seeding. The individually mixed seed was composed of single-taxon seed that was collected and cleaned separately before being mixed. Because these seeds had been thoroughly cleaned, they were suitable for use in a seed drill.
The pre-mixed seed contained seeds of many taxa growing together at Shoulder to Shoulder Farms, which were collected into the same bag. The pre-mixed seed was collected either 1) from open areas in the prairie as "Open Mix" or 2) from the shaded edges of the prairie as an "Edge Mix". We chose to broadcast the Mixes because they were unsuitable for use in the drill. These results of these trials will determine which planting method we will use on the remaining 25 acres of Bonesteele Prairie.
Section B Pretreatment
Section B Sowing DesignWithin Section B there are two experimental areas, Plot 1 and Plot 2. Plot 1 is located west of Plot 2. Plot 2 includes the mature white oak. Seed was sown into Plot 1 using OSU Hysslop Farm's experimental seed drill courtesy of Daryl Ehernsing. For Plot 1, seed from each species was collected separately, from 2 different locations, cleaned and then mixed together. For Plot 2, the seed was collected as a mix from one source and sown by hand broadcasting.
Plot 1 Sowing DesignPlot 1 occurs in section B, and measures 118 feet on the east-west axis and 85 feet on the north-south axis. The seed sown in Plot 1 either received a smoking treatment or received no treatment. The Untreated Seed was drilled first, in the southern half of the plot. The 8' wide seed drill made six passes, covering a total of 44 feet. The Smoke-Treated Seed was applied to the northern part of the Plot 1, drilled in 5 passes for a total of 41 feet. Any seed that remained in the hopper after drilling was hand broadcast by someone holding the seed in front of a leaf blower and walking up and down the east-west axis of the experimental plot. After all the seed was drilled, a thin layer of bark dust was placed over the eastern ½ of each treatment area.
Plot 1 Smoking seed to induce germination: We used a bee-keep's smoker, filled with detritus from the upland prairie at Shoulder to Shoulder Farms (leaves of grass, oak, and perennials). The seed was placed in the bottom of a plastic storage container. After the smoker was lit and smoking, it was placed inside the storage container with the seeds and allowed to smoke for 3 minutes. Then the smoker was removed and the lid was placed on the container of seed and closed for 5 minutes. The seed was shaken in the container about 2 times per minute to mix with the smoke. Frank Morton of Shoulder to Shoulder Farms recommended pretreating the seeds with smoke because he had used this method to improve germination rates. The following citations discuss using smoke to induce germination.

Plot 1 Seed Drill:The Untreated native seed mix was drilled first, using the settings: F1, D2, C2, A8. The seed clogged at these settings, due to the large seed size of Danthonia californica. The drill settings were changed for the Smoke-treated seed from F1 to F2. Total seed in each drill bin was 1588 grams or 3.5 pounds. After the drill delivered all the seed that it could, some seed remained in the hopper. This seed was broadcast by hand by someone holding it in front of a leaf blower and walking up and down the east-west axis of the experimental plot.
Seed used in Section B, Plot 1:
Plot 2Plot 2 occurs east of Plot 1 and includes the mature white oak. We did not seed under the drip line of the oak. Beginning on the south side and moving clockwise, Plot 2 is a polygon that measures: 88 x 88 x 100 x 66 x 15 x 45. All of Plot 2 was sown with seed mix from Shoulder to Shoulder Farms in Wren, Oregon. Two mixes were used, "Open Mix" and "Edge Mix". Each mix contained the same taxa, but in different proportions. Only the total weight for each mix is available, the relative proportions of each taxon are unknown. Seed for Plot 2 was broadcast by hand. Seeds were strewn in several directions while wandering across the Plot.
Seeds in "Open Site Mix", listed by proportion, from most to least:
The southern half of Plot 2 was planted with 2.53 pounds of "Open Mix". This plot is a rectangle measuring 88 x 45, except under the drip line of the mature white oak. The northern half of Plot 2 was planted with 3.47 pounds of "Edge Mix", except under the drip-line of the mature white oak. This plot is a polygon measuring 107 X 43 X 100 X 66.
Seeds in "Edge Mix", listed by proportion from most to least.
Section CSection C was treated for control and suppression of weeds, and will be planted as seeds become available. Section C was burned on 1 September 2000, roto-tilled and covered in clear plastic. Photos are available at /parks/bonesteele/images/burn Section C Pretreatment
Section D Section D was treated for control and suppression of weeds and will be planted as seeds become available.Section D Pretreatment
Section D Sowing for weed reductionSection D covers 9000 ft2. During 1998-2000, Section D was treated to eliminate weeds. Since native seed material was not available to restore this Section in 2000, a cover crop was planted to continue the regime of weed suppression. The cover crops selected were crimson clover and winter wheat. Winter wheat cereal grain (without biocide) was drilled first, drilled perpendicular to the slope in an approximate east-to-west direction at a rate of 105 lbs/acre and settings of F2 B6 C2 D1. Crimson clover was drilled second, parallel to the slope at a rate of 13.5 lbs/acre. Drill settings used were: F1, D1, C1, A8.
Section E Section E received treatment for control and suppression of weeds and will be planted as seeds become available. Pretreatment Section E
Section E contains several white oak seedlings, which sprouted following the 1998 burn of Bonesteele. In Fall 2000, this area was covered with 3 tons of native straw of meadow barley (Hordeum brachyantherum) and blue wildrye (Elymus glaucus).

Ennhada changes tack on Salafists
The largest party in Tunisia's ruling coalition, Ennhada, has long been criticised for its tolerance of the country's Salafists, a conservative branch of Islam. Salafist extremists have been blamed for the attack which killed the US ambassador to Libya in September and since then, Ennhada appears to be changing strategy. Under pressure from the US, more than 100 Salafists have been arrested in Tunisia, adding to the dozens already being held for violent protests in the past.

The Shoebill Balaeniceps rex
- Details
- Last Updated on Thursday, 21 February 2013 08:27
The Shoebill Balaeniceps rex. An African endemic family, with one species of rather limited distribution., considered as globally vulnerable (IUCN, 2010)
It is very uncommon resident. It occurs in the Middle Akagera Basin and it were occasionally observed along the Nyabarongo River, in Bugesera region. It inhabits most typically extensive areas of floating meadows and edges of tall reed beds or papyrus, where it hunts solitarily along channels or small patches of open water. It is a quiet bird, moving very slowly and able to stand motionless for long periods. In the Akagera swamps its main food item seems to be a small catfish Clarias liocephalus, in the flooded plains the larger catfish Clarias gariepinnus. It never penetrates inside tall vegetation. It lives solitarily or in pairs, sometimes in loose groups of five or six birds, and concentrations of up to 10 birds have been watched along a single channel. The species can be seen throughout the year, but its numbers seem to vary seasonally

Rafael misses United's trip to Swansea on Sunday, while Jonny Evans is available again and Nemanja Vidic is set to be named on the bench after his comeback from a knee injury.
Brazilian right-back Rafael missed the 3-1 win over Sunderland last weekend with a hamstring strain and he will not be risked for the trip to Wales. Vidic was a second-half substitute against the Black Cats in his first outing since September, but he is unlikely to play from the start.
Evans, who has just signed a new contract, suffered a groin injury at Manchester City but is available for selection. Elsewhere, Nani is still suffering from a hamstring injury and will not travel, while Shinji Kagawa is due to start training next week.
"Jonny has had one or two injuries but hopefully they're behind him now," the boss said at his pre-match press conference. "He's fit for Sunday, while Kagawa takes training with the first team on Monday.
"Vida is doing great in training, it's just a matter of picking the time to bring him back. It gives me options with Smalling, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans. It's very good, and better for us. Rafa won't make Sunday's game as he's still out with a hamstring. Nani is still injured. Apart from those players, we're all right."
Sir Alex isn't expecting an easy game against Swansea. "You've seen the results they have had and the progress they have made as a football club over the last years," he said. "The important thing for me is that they try to play and have the courage to play their football. At this time of year, all the games are challenges and they come thick and fast now. Utilising the squad is important, as is picking the right team, but hopefully we can get through it and be in the same position as we are now."

When we first saw the new Pringle campaign for S/S '09 we were blown away. By the world's premier star-making photographer Steven Meisel the campaign features Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof and Lydia Hearst as we have never seen them before. That is with their teenage punky style glossed away to make them ultra glamorous young women of the world. What we loved as much as the clothes was the fresh, fashion-forward make-up. The girls all look utterly beautiful - and we had to find out why! So we caught up with by Pat McGrath the most powerful beauty trend-setter in the world who created the stunning looks. And heads up for a beauty trend alert - it started with Diana X Factor who is a fan of concealer as lipstick, and now Pat McGrath confirmed it's a trend. McGrath used concealer on Daisy's lips for these shots. So next time you get foundation on your lips leave it there. If that's not for you, Pat McGrath has another amazing and affordable fashion fix that all of us can enjoy: Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara in Black. 'Both girls became huge fans of the Max Factor Full Lash Mascara during the shoot because it made their lashes look so incredibly full and extended.' It's sold out at Amazon beauty already but Boots sell the Mascara for £10.76! We'll be having some of that for the Xmas party then please... To find out more about Pringle's S/S '09 collection and find out what Pringle lust-haves are available right now see this weeks Grazia.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Britain Against Cancer, hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer (APPGC), is one of the largest conferences of its kind in the UK and is an annual fixture in the Westminster calendar.
|The APPGC will be hosting this year's Britain Against Cancer, which will look at the vital progress made towards the recommendations in Cancer across the Domains as well as the upcoming General Election, on Tuesday 9 December 2014 at Central Hall, Westminster.
This year's conference will be one of the last opportunities to bring the whole cancer community together to discuss, debate and have your say on what the cancer priorities for the next Government should be.
The Britain Against Cancer conference provides an exciting opportunity for:
To discuss the most pressing issues in cancer policy. Delegates have the chance to hear from, and question, the key decision makers in healthcare.
The All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer would like to thank the supporters of the Britain Against Cancer Conference 2013, which include pharmaceutical companies. All supporters have a medical expertise and commercial interest in cancer, but have had no involvement in the programme of the conference.
A big thank you to all delegates, sponsors, speakers and exhibitors who helped make Britain Against Cancer such a successful event.
It was the largest conference to date, providing an important platform for people with an interest in cancer to discuss the new NHS and what it should do to prioritise cancer services and outcomes. If you couldn't make it to the conference, you can find out what was said in our summaries of all sessions|.
At Britain Against Cancer 2013, the APPGC launched its latest report, Cancer across the Domains. The report, as the result of a year-long programme of research and consultation, maps out the priorities for NHS England across the entire cancer journey. Click here to read the Cancer Across the Domains report [PDF]. |

[QUOTE=2009fatman;2934828]Another George Bush Failure..He talked peace and wanting a Palestinian state from the time he took office...He's been our worst president when it comes to making any effort to finally bringing peace to that area.[/QUOTE]
There will never be peace over there because the Arab countries do not want it. If there was peace in that region, the people would start to focus on their own corrupt governments and attack them instead of Israel. Those countries use violence against Israel as a way of controlling their people so they can hold on to the countries' wealth and let the people suffer without the people realizing it's their own countries that have left them to suffer.
How do you think Arafat managed to steal all of their money without them knowing it? How do you think the Saudi royal family stays in power? How do you think the Ayotollah in Iran stays in power?

Or "facesitting". When the person (usually a female on a male, or female on a female), sits on her sex partners face. The person being sat on will either have their nose in their partner's pussy or their nose in their asshole, or their mouth in their partner's pussy or asshole.
She performed a facesit on him because he requested to smell her asshole.
