The wildlife of Bangladesh includes Bangladesh's flora and fauna.
Bangladesh is home to roughly 53 species of amphibian, 19 species of marine reptiles, 139 species of reptile, 380 species of birds, 116 species of mammals and 5 species of marine mammals.[1] In addition to the large bird count, a further 310 species of migratory birds swell bird numbers each year. It has the Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, Hoolock gibbon, Asian black bear and other flagship species.[1] The vast majority of these creatures currently dwell in an area of land that is some 150,000 sq kilometers in size. However this does not mean all is well with the country's natural heritage. So far a number of creatures have disappeared completely from the country and a further 201 species are threatened. The dhole, also called the Asiatic wild dog, is now endangered by habitat and prey-species loss and human persecution. Notable animal species that have disappeared from Bangladesh are the one-horned rhinoceros, the two-horned rhinoceros, the gaur, the banteng, swamp deer, nilgai, Indian wolf, wild water buffalo, marsh crocodile and common peafowl.[1] The majority of the human population lives in or around large cities and this has helped to limit deforestation to some extent. However, the growth rate continues to increase and this has placed large demands on the environment and lead to subsequent clearing of numerous natural habitats. Though several areas are protected under law, a large portion of Bangladeshi wildlife is threatened by this growth.

Ukraine police tackle protests over Russian language law
Anger at bill boosting the status of Russian speakers in the former Soviet republic
Thursday 05 July 2012
The Ukrainian parliament backed a controversial law giving higher status to the Russian language – a move that prompted fights inside the chamber and protests on the streets of the former Soviet republic.
One MP suffered a broken rib from the mêlée in which police used tear gas against people demonstrating in the capital, Kiev.
The law proposed by President Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions now just needs his signature to come into force. But the issue has reopened deep wounds in the country, which is split between the Russian-speaking East and the Ukrainian-speaking West.
The measure, allowing Russian to be used as a "regional language" in predominantly Russian-speaking areas, was passed in a surprise move on Tuesday night, just moments after it was proposed by a pro-Yanukovych MP, giving opponents little time to cast their votes and prompting scuffles in parliament and on the streets.
Among those protesting yesterday was Vitaly Klitschko, the world heavyweight boxing champion who now runs his own political party. His arm was cut and he was tear-gassed by police outside a government building where Mr Yanukovych had been due to give a speech summing up a successful hosting of the Euro 2012 football tournament.
Ukraine is divided almost in half when it comes to how many people speak mainly Ukrainian and how many are mostly Russian speakers. Volodymyr Kulyk, of the Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies in Kiev, said that while almost everyone understood Ukrainian, and it was the only official state language, it was almost never heard in eastern cities such as Donetsk, or in the southern region of Crimea.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Boris Kolesnikov, told The Independent last week that the proposal was "in line with all European norms and simply a matter of improving democracy". But opponents said it could be the death knell for the Ukrainian language, because people would take the easier route of speaking Russian.
"State officialdom is currently the only sphere in which many people come into contact with Ukrainian, and if we take that away then the language is in trouble," Mr Kulyk said, adding that the survival of the language – and even the country –could be at stake. "Given the pressures on Ukraine from Moscow to integrate, if we lose our language and identity, after some time it might be impossible to keep the two countries separate." Moscow has long called for Ukraine to recognise Russian as its second language.
Analysts say Mr Yanukovych's party has tabled the bill to shore up support in his voter base in the east ahead of October's elections. The President must now decide whether or not to sign the controversial law into the statute book and risk a further deterioration in Ukraine's fractious political scene.
Yulia Tymoshenko, one of the leaders of the Orange Revolution in 2004, was jailed for seven years last year on charges that many believe were a matter of political revenge by Mr Yanukovych.
He narrowly defeated her in the presidential election two years ago.

2 men deny shooting charges in Vt.The Associated Press | November 29,2013NEWPORT - A Vermont man has been accused of shooting a gun at a woman and another is accused of driving the getaway car.
Twenty-six-year-old Jeffrey Mitchell pleaded not guilty this week in Orleans Superior Court to aggravated assault with a weapon. Twenty-four-year-old Christopher Degreenia pleaded not guilty to aiding in the commission of aggravated assault. Both are from Sheffield.
The Caledonian-Record reported that a woman called 911 in July to report that a man fired a weapon at her from a car. She was not hit. The woman said she heard from her roommate, who believed the shooter was a former boyfriend who had threatened her. They have a daughter.
Mitchell told police the ex-girlfriend was "crazy" and probably made up the story to keep the child away from him.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Writer Full StoryThe city is mulling a proposal to let dogs off the leash in city parks. Full Story -

Through the years, not much has changed in the iconic McDonald's Happy Meal. Children around the country can expect the same juicy cheeseburger, classic french fries, and of course the toy. (Who can forget Beanie Babies, or Mulan, the first international Happy Meal toy?)
Click here to see the 7 Unique McDonald's Happy Meals From Around the World Slideshow
Around the world, McDonald's menus vary and draw on local flavors to be more appealing to their target audience. While the regular menu options might be dramatically different than what most of us know in the U.S., the Happy Meal generally remains the same across borders. A choice of burger or chicken nuggets, a side (nowadays a fruit option is consistently offered alongside fries), and a drink, please.
But there are also some menus that have items that are unique to their given location, like a mini calzone in Italy, or a chicken burger with a special spicy sauce in Pakistan. Even more, while American McDonald's might not be known for their ham and cheese, 'McDo' (as it's often called in France) serves a version of the classic croque-monsieur on its Happy Meal menu.
Curious to learn more? We studied the Happy Meal menus across the world, and these are seven unique Happy Meal items that can only be found in their outlets around the world. Check out the slideshow to see them all!

Actually a tuber, the sunchoke looks like a small, bumpy potato or ginger root. The knobby, thin-skinned exterior is usually tannish-gold to cream colored but some varieties are reddish or purplish.

Baby Green Oak Leaf lettuce is available year round.
Current Facts
Lettuce is categorized into six different types, also known as subspecies or botanical varieties. The six types of lettuce are Crisphead (Iceberg and Batavian), Romaine, Butter, Latin, Leaf and Stem. All lettuce types except for Iceberg occur in red and green leaf form. Oak Leaf lettuce is a type of Butter lettuce. Butter lettuces are known for their compact heads, their quilted leaf texture and their mellow flavor. They are also great short season varieties as well as more heat-tolerant than Crisphead lettuce.
As its name suggests, Green Oak Leaf lettuce has the appearance of Oak leaves - linear, lobed and loosely serrated. The leaves form a semi-tight rosette at the base, growing upward and outward. Green Oak Leaf lettuce has a buttery texture and an incredibly mellow, nutty and sweet flavor, which rarely becomes bitter, even in hotter climates.
Nutritional Value
Oak Leaf lettuce is good source of vitamin A, vitamin C and folate.
Green Oak Leaf lettuce is an attractive staple green to have on rotation in the crisper. Structurally, it prefers the companionship of other lettuces and greens for their textural and flavor contrasts. This includes Red Butter, Romaine, Radicchio, Arugula and Frisee. The combined greens serve as an edible vessel to ingredients of varied flavors from rich to bright, earthy, savory and sweet. The more important ingredient combinations are those that happen to be selected for the salad. When choosing salad ingredients, choose ingredients that naturally compliment one another. Pair bright fruits with those ingredients rich in fat, such as avocado and citrus or berries and bacon. Another good rule of thumb is earthy and savory are a perfect marriage, ex. wild mushrooms and shallots or root vegetables with herbs and garlic. The final element is composing a salad based on the season and regionally availability.
Oak Leaf lettuces was first cultivated in France from what was originally considered a weed found growing wild. There is the very early reference to Oak Leaf lettuce by Evelyn in Acetaria (1699) that may indicate Oak Leaf lettuces had arrived in England prior to the 18th Century. Oak Leaf lettuce was introduced commercially under the name "feuille de chene" in 1771 by the French seed company Vilmorin.

Infant and Toddler Reflective Curriculum Planning, Part I
01:11:21809 Plays / 1 Likes / 0 Comments
Infant and Toddler Reflective Curriculum Planning Series, Webinar 1. March 5, 2013. Presenters: Dr. Ron Lally and Dr. Peter Mangione, Co-Directors of The Center for Child and Family Studies at WestEd. Event-related resources (PDF of presentation, etc.): https://wested.box.com/s/2n85y7g28kyrvc9y6zta In this archived webinar, the presenters give an overview of how to translate research into teacher practice to improve program quality for infants and toddlers. Focusing on current research on how infants and toddlers learn and develop, they discuss a reflective planning process and strategies to assist teachers in their efforts to plan appropriate curriculum for children from birth to three years of age. The reflective process that is described is grounded in observation and documentation of infants and toddlers pursuing their natural learning agenda. Dr. Lally and Dr. Mangione also reference resources for participants to use and present examples to illuminate the principles of Reflective Curriculum Planning. This information lays the necessary groundwork for understanding of Part II in the series. Background to the Series: The California Department of Education, Child Development Division, in partnership with WestEd's Center for Child & Family Studies, conducted the webinar series—Infant and Toddler Reflective Curriculum Planning. Its purpose is to promote early childhood educators' implementation of high-quality curriculum practices that support the development of the knowledge and skills of infants and toddlers as described in the California Infant/Toddler Learning and Development Foundations. The goal of this two-part webinar series is to provide participating early childhood professionals with a structure they can use to make informed decisions about curriculum practices for Infants and toddlers, and to highlight the newest component of the California Infant-Toddler Learning and Development System: California Infant/Toddler Curriculum Framework. It presents principles, a planning process, and strategies to assist teachers in their efforts to support children's learning from birth to three years of age. The framework is based on current research on how to facilitate infant and toddler learning in four domains as described in the Infant/Toddler Learning and Development Foundations—social-emotional, language, intellectual, and perceptual and motor development.

The email system that serves Minnesota state senators and their employees has been out of service since Friday.
A spokesman for the Senate Democratic majority says Tuesday that technicians think they know what caused the outage and hope to have it fixed soon.
It left 67 state senators and the people who work for them without access to email through the weekend. Some senators took to social media to announce that Senate phone lines are still working.

Is there any management or followup on such things?
I was happy to see people, volunteers, busy this summer pulling out non-native plants and planting, fertilizing and watering new native species, but as I walk out there lately many of those plants seem to be dead or dying from no watering.
There was a time in the early 90's where wildflowers and all kinds of things grew out on the Baylands trails. Walking, hiking or running out there in the late spring and early summer was almost magical - like being in a colorful floral corridor much of the way from Palo Alto to Mtn. View. Intead of just the white and yellow mustard, there used to be plants of red and blue as well ... I was really something to experience.
Now it's like a dead zone, and anything that does grow will eventually get chopped down by whoever and whatever it is that is out there doing maintenance.
Bottom line, if you can't do it right and maintain it, don't bother doing it at all.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

More changes for Puerto Rican Day Parade on the way
- Staff New York Business Journal
In February, the organizers of New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade reached a settlement with the state and said it would make sweeping changes to its management.
Now, according to a report by the New York Times, further changes are on the way. In addition to bringing new people in to the organization, the parade will give $30,000 in scholarship money to at least 15 students, tripling the previous amount handed out, the Times said. Moreover, in a nod to complaints that the parade had moved away from its original purpose of fostering cultural pride, the Times said each float going down Fifth Avenue will have to display a cultural theme.
New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and United States Representative Nydia Velazquez are slated to be grand marshals at the June 8 celebration, both reports said.

UFC president Dana White has big plans for undefeated lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov, who increased his winning streak with an unanimous decision victory over Pat Healy at UFC 165 on Saturday night in Toronto.
"This kid comes out and goes for it," White said. "He went in there with a bigger, stronger dude, and he was getting hit with some big shots tonight. He can wrestle, he can punch, he's got good punching power as well."
Nurmagomedov's trademark move is his slam when he picks up his opponent, carries him across the Octagon, and then slams them into the mat, which reminded White of an old Matt Hughes.
"That slam, when he just scoops him up and slams him, Matt Hughes style. That reminded me of the old Matt Hughes where he would run a guy across the Octagon and slam him," he continued. "The kid is exciting, he's talented, and tonight he showed everyone what he's got.
"We're probably going to do big things with this kid. I love this kid; I love the way he fights."
White isn't such a big fan of Khabib's decorative headgear, but the Russian has no plans of ditching it.
Khabib sported a white afro wig at the weigh-ins and before the fight, saying that it's his ethnic headgear from his hometown in Russia.
"You better get used to it," Nurmagomedov said. "It's not a wig, it's my ethnic headgear. We usually wear it when we go to war, so we mean business when we put it on."

Tighter than, for example, a Creative Aurvana Live, but looser than my FA-011s. Fairly light weight. -..." --kidcharlemagne

"I got these for $60 at amazon. What I expect from the headset was: good mic, good comfort, good sound quality for gaming and OK for music, good build quality. So far most of these expectations are met. Sound/Audio Quality: These can be really hard to hear at first, with just good enough bass, recessed mids, and the high frequencies of this headset hurts my ears. But after using them..." --spiwar

" I originally bought these as a cheap headset for mainly gaming use. Bought online for $21 shipped. Marketing might say "military spec" construction, but it's not even close. The entire headset is constructed of plastic. I could easily wobble the cups and headband. I'm pretty sure excessively doing that could I could quickly break and detach the cup shells, cable,..." --Acreo Aeneas

Walt Weiss interviewed for the Rockies job. He's now the head baseball coach at a Denver-area high school. This seems like the kind of thing the Rockies would do.

I think Mike Redmond is more likely than Bowa. Bowa will probably want to be paid.
5. boteman
Posted: October 27, 2012 at 11:54 PM (#4285691)Weiss managed his son last year, so that falls under the general rubric of "spending more time with family." Which doesn't necessarily make him qualified to manage an MLB team. He worked in the FO before this year, so maybe O'Dowd already decided he liked him.
Will Loria have to overpay a la Jayson Werth just to get somebody to come manage in Miami???

COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
3.98 / 5.00 5,883 ViewsThis game was orginally made for the site Stickclub.com. What happens when you mix Fight Club, Pac man, and stickmen? This game.
Try the Acid mode....for something very fucked up.
This is bad.
IT KEEPS GOING UP TO HIGHER FREAKING LEVELS!!! IM ON LIKE 220 LEVELS NOW!! i dont like it. it sucks. i kept getting stuck and it was slow!!!
it wos crap.
i kept on getting stuck because of little gaps so i wos a load of shit at it. It wos boring to pac man games r old and i am fed up of seeing them. So to every1 who is thinking they shold do a pac man game DON'T BECAUSE THEY R CRAP!!!!!!!!!
I am Jack's unimpressed sense of amusement.
I don't know if i'd have done like the last guy.. But i'd rather slam my testicles in a car door than play this again.
I'd have rather lit my penis on fire!
Broken Game
I don't understand what the poems everytime you died meant at all. Also, once I beat the first level, I went into some sort of loop, and I kept beating every level after, and it wouldn't let me play again. Oh also, the controls sucked, and my guy kept getting sucked, bottom line, if you werked maybe 30 more minutes on the game, it would be more fun, and not very screwed up.

David Beckham Out in London | Pictures
David Beckham Plans to Decide on His Next Move Within the Month
David Beckham doubled up on layers to keep warm in London today. Since he left the LA Galaxy, David's been settling back into life in the UK. Although he's no longer with American MLS, he's not avoiding the sport altogether. Yesterday, David returned to the soccer field to train with London's Arsenal.
Though David's undecided about where he'll play in the future — he intends to decide within the next month — he's keeping his skills sharp. David asked to train with Arsenal, and the team's manager, Arsène Wenger, says there's slim chance of their signing him, but he's great to have around nonetheless. Arsène said of David, "He always has a good word for everyone. The young English players especially look at him and take his advice on board. He has done the maximum in his career that you can do. Why? Because he loves football. He arrives before training and, after training, he stays and plays."
Aside from getting back to soccer, David's focused on other work duties. Earlier this week, David made a trip to Spain to film a commercial for Adidas in Marbella. His busy week comes after a weekend of family fun — he and his wife, Victoria Beckham, took their three boys to a Cirque du Soleil performance at Royal Albert Hall.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Turkey underdone with none of the trimmings
FREE Birds is more proof, as if 2013 needed it, that Hollywood has almost killed the animated goose that laid the golden egg.
No matter that in this case, the goose is a turkey. You didn't need to be told that. But a year that has produced the clever and heartfelt The Croods and the passably amusing Despicable Me 2 has also had a healthy dose of sausage factory about it. Epic, Monsters University, Planes, Escape from Planet Earth, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 and Turbo -- all major pictures that hint at a talent pool spread absurdly thin and an industry with sneering contempt for its audience -- animate it, charge 3D prices and their parents will grit their teeth and bear it.
Movie review
Free Birds
Starring the voices of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne.
91 minutes
2 stars
Other voices:
Often, you can point to a middling animated film's visuals as its saving grace. But this colonial world, which should feel like an expansive autumnal panorama, feels oddly inert and two-dimensional.
-- Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly
This seemingly innocuous toon fantasy becomes another noxious-but-sanitized exercise in family-friendly cultural insensitivity.
-- Justin Chang, Variety
Like so many modern animated features, Free Birds packs too much in; the picture feels cramped and cluttered, and, despite its occasionally manic action, it moves as slowly as a fattened bird waddling toward its doom.
-- Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice
Warning: Contains tryptophan.
-- Matt Pais, RedEye
A start-up division called Reflex Animation did Free Birds. Relativity is releasing it. They make the same mistakes generations of animators made before them, having a cute idea and a feeble script to go with it, lining up a "name" voice cast to over-compensate.
That cast includes Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler and George Takei -- funny folks, one and all -- yet there's barely a laugh in it. The strain shows, right at the opening credits, when a title tells us this "is loosely based" on a true story, "unless, of course" you take into account the talking turkeys who talk turkey.
Wilson voices Reggie, a scrawny Jeremiah at his turkey farm, the one guy to figure out why he and his flock are being fattened up. "Turkeys are dumb," he narrates while his peers clap as friends and family are dragged off to "turkey paradise."
But Reggie is that lucky bird who wins a presidential pardon. The gag writers thought it would be cute to make this a Southern president with the bratty daughter Clintonian. Hellooo, 1996.
Reggie has barely settled into a pampered life of pizzas and TV watching at Camp David when the demented Jake (Harrelson) shows up to birdnap him and enlist Reggie in his mission to steal the secret Camp David time machine, travel back to early America and change Thanksgiving history, "to get turkey off the menu."
In 1621 Plymouth, the Pilgrims are starving -- save for the portly Gov. Bradford (Dan Fogler). Myles Standish (Colm Meaney) is a trigger-happy menace who figures he can turkey-hunt the colony to safety.
And the Massachusetts turkeys themselves? They're natives -- as in painted up, like Washington Redskins mascots. Jake and Reggie must win over the native flock (Poehler and Keith David among them) to save them and the turkeys of the future.
The few gags there are seem borrowed from better, earlier films -- short attention span turkeys inspired by Dory of Finding Nemo, Braveheart battle scenes and mismatched "buddies" from a hundred better buddy comedies.
The odd throw-away line works. The president's daughter is a 6-year-old blabbermouth who blurts out to Reggie a general "has issues" and that overweight maid "eats her feelings." And Gov. Bradford is forever minimizing his responsibility for the dying colonists.
But the sight gags fall flat and much of the screenplay seems like a rough draft the filmmakers -- Jimmy Hayward directed the superior Horton Hears a Who -- expected the actors to fix. And they didn't.
Frozen, undercooked and sorely lacking much in the way of "all the trimmings," this turkey isn't ready to serve.

Sad that its come to this, yet again.
Third lockout in as many tries for Bettman. 3/3 on league time lost due to labor disputes. Anyone still think this buffoon still needs to keep his job? Apparently a majority of the BoG does, which is sad...

As the highest pick the Wings have had in years, I was hoping for even more than that from Kindl. But last season he couldn't even outplay Commie for a spot in the lineup.For some reason I can't kick this feeling that kindl could be a 4/5 dman if we gave him the chance. he has the size and skill. I watched almost every game last season and every game he played in and I think there is something there...

It's funny that the owners voted to lock the players out for "cost certainty" while at the very same time you know a handful of them were throwing piles of money at him in the Doan sweepstakes.
Posted by haroldsnepsts on 14 September 2012 - 12:46 AM
That first one I think is a great way to make things more equitable between the big and smaller franchises besides reducing player salary (which doesn't actually achieve that). Right now the rich franchises can extend massive contracts that nearly cripple the small ones (a la Shea Weber) and essentially circumvent the cap with long term.Here are couple other things players can offer to the league.
- Make the cap number to equal actual salary (kill the front-loaded contracts)
- Remove players option for the 5% cap inflator
Posted by haroldsnepsts on 14 September 2012 - 12:09 AM
Has anyone in this thread put together a reasonable argument for the owner's side without resorting to a straw man or some other fallacy?I finally get it. frankgrimes is Jim Balsille. One of the 3 people left on earth who use a blackberry, and has a total hate hard on for Bettman and the owners to the exclusion of everything else. Still mad they wouldn't let you buy the Pens or Predators, or circumvent everything for the Coyotes?
Seriously, we get it. The owners should be forced to give 99% of the revenue to the players, pay for all other costs out of their own pockets, and let the players pick what nights they play and who their teammates are. Hell, lets dismantle the front offices, and let the players have a multibillion dollar beer league. Screw the owners who pay for the buildings, staff, insurance costs, medical, etc.

In 2004 he was saying comparison to other leagues wasn't really relevant because the sports are so different.What's with Uncle Gary's infatuation with trying to be on the same level as the NFL and the NBA?
It was funny when he called out the media for twisting his words about the "final offer".
Posted by haroldsnepsts on 12 September 2012 - 05:29 PM
I pretty clearly spelled out why extra time doesn't matter. But I'll try and put it more simply. We're three days away and both sides are deadlocked. Yet you're saying starting 6 months earlier would've somehow helped? As if back then with little real threat of losing a season, they somehow would've started making concessions?No offense, but only a fool would say that more time is bad when it comes to a negotiation. You are right, no one knows what would have happened, but when the league was ready to negotiate and the NHLPA didn't step up to the table, that went largely unnoticed. To not at least say that it was a bad move by the NHLPA to not start negotiating early and wait until June is telling.

No they don't. The current CBA of course officially expires, but there is nothing that says any proposal being made by either side also goes out the window.Link? Source?
I am trying to find a legit source that says it was an "ultimatum". So far, all I can find are unreliable twitter feeds from people who weren't there.
EDIT: This is the closest I have found. http://nbcsports.msn.../ns/sports-nhl/
Not really an ultimatum. Hell, at the end of every CBA, all deals go out the window anyway.
Again, that is false. The CBA expires, but that has no effect on proposals unless Bettman and the owners link the two, which they've done.After any CBA expiration, all deals are typically off the table. I thought that Bettman said "Sign this, or else we will ask for a 60-40 split in revenues" or something along those lines.
It's beyond me that someone could watch Bettman's press conference and think this is equally both sides fault.It certainly would be nice to hear about the details of these proposals.
From the way it sounds.....both sides are proposing "my way or the highway" with no concessions. Not really a way to bargain.

Relative to what the owners first proposal was, the union's first proposal should have been the elimination of a salary cap. Their first offer already was a large concession.Concessions go far beyond money. The percentage the players are getting is just one portion.
Why not offer the NHLPA expanded revenue sharing along with the final $5 million dollars in the cap system a luxury tax?
Why not offer the NHLPA arbitration, signing bonuses, and no cap on salaries?
Those are just a couple examples, but so far, they haven't offered any concessions.
Just as the NHLPA hasn't offered any real concessions either.
Why not offer the NHL a 52-48 hard linkage in favor of the players?
Why not offer the NHL a entry level contract cap to 3-4 years?
Why not offer the NHL a cap on over contract length to 7 or 8 years?
From the way it looks, both sides are demanding. The owners are demanding that the players take the salary cuts, the contract limits, no arbitration, and so on. That is wrong. The players are demanding that things stay the same or the hard linkage goes down to 53% for year one and moves back up to 57% in year 3 with a 4th year player option at the same level. How does a temporary change fix this problem? It doesn't. While the player offer was less draconian, its still not the solution.
Whats worse is that both sides are posturing and being inflexible.
As a fan, I find it disgusting. Just get in the room and work on the deal.
I will be doing this when the lockout is announced on Saturday.

Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant has for the first time revealed on Rajat Sharmas Aap Ki Adalat why she broke off her engagement with Elesh Parujanwala whom she had selected in Rakhi Ka Swayamvar serial. Kareena may have a zero figure, I do not have, but I challenge Kareena, Deepika and Priyanka Chopra to a dance contest. Aisa naach ke dikhaoongi ki yeh gir jayenge ( I will dance so well that they will drop)
