Italian Pair Jailed After Claiming Credit for Doors, Paul McCartney and Queen Songs
There'll be jail time for a pair of Italian crooks who tried to swipe royalties for famous songs written by Paul McCartney, Queen and the Doors.
There'll be jail time for a pair of Italian crooks who tried to swipe royalties for famous songs written by Paul McCartney, Queen and the Doors.
The Doors' self-titled debut album was released on Jan. 4, 1967.
Doors frontman Jim Morrison was arrested and maced at a concert on Dec. 9, 1967
A delayed flight leads to big trouble for the Doors frontman.
It was a Sunday night on September 17, 1967, and I remember tuning into to watch The Ed Sullivan Show and see The Doors performing Light My Fire and People Are Strange. This would be the last time they would be on the show.
It was a year ago today (5/20/13) when we heard the sad news that Ray Manzarek, keyboard player and founding member of the The Doors died at the age of 74.
Skrillex will collaborate with classic-rock superstars Robby Krieger and Mickey Hart.
For years now, the easiest way to do a Matthew McConaughey impression has been to imitate his 'Dazed and Confused' character, David Wooderson, by saying "Alright, alright, alright" in a goofy Southern drawl -- something McConaughey himself acknowledged when he uttered those magic words while picking up his Oscar and Golden Globe awards for 'Dallas Buyers Club.' And as it turns out, we have Doors frontman Jim Morrison to thank for all of it.
Did he or didn't he? The late Doors frontman Jim Morrison was charged with exposing himself before a stunned audience in Florida on March 1, 1969, though he vehemently denied the allegation. Bandmate Robby Krieger still says that no photographic evidences exists to prove it.
Today, February 12, 1939, one of the greatest keyboard players in rock and roll was born in Chicago. Raymond Daniel Manzarek Jr. is the name on the birth certificate. Member of The Doors, Ray Manzarek to my mind one of the coolest musicians /people around. It'
Well, here's something interesting for Doors fans: According to a recent Craiglist posting, the owner of the Los Angeles building that's said to be Jim Morrison's last known U.S. residence is selling furnishings from his apartment.
Jim Morrison would have turned 70 on Dec. 8, and while it's impossible to imagine what he might have done over the past few decades if he hadn't passed away in 1971, he'd probably have Internet access if he were still alive -- which he could use to stream a trio of free Doors films from Qello.

Thank you all for the lovely comments
I am surprised the flowers look so real in the thumb nail
Maggie they can be fiddly to make . but I tried to keep as simple as possible .I taught my Niece's , their younger sisters and friends how to make these as well. sadly they are older end of teenage years now and no longer in to craft making. At one point I had about 6 children in my tiny flats front room making these bouquets for mothers day gifts. some of the friends where boys.
They made mothers day cards to go with them. They used to make every year when younger. the mum's and grandmothers loved them as they where made from the heart by their children.
My grandmother taught me. she loved teaching us children to make things. she also loved the made gifts more as she always said they came from the heart rather than a shop brought gift.

No Ava I do not teach. I used to be a activities co ordinator in a elderly residential home. I made activities up to keep the elderly occupied, tried to help them over come boredom, I used to have quite a few enjoy what we showed them. I was taught a lot of these things from my grandmothers. When I was growing up we never heard of a computer they where not about till the last year of my schooling .
my grandmothers used to like us children to keep out of trouble so taught us how to make various things and be creative. Which I believe is missing these days. So If I can help inspire others to use the creative skills they have I am happy.

Every once in a while a vehicle is much worse than expected

The Bottom Line:
The Armada has a powerful engine and versatile interior, but these cannot compensate for an unrefined suspension and low-quality interior.
For the past few years the Detroit vehicle manufacturers have been sustained by healthy sales of large pickups and SUVs. Demand matched supply in these segments, and margins were substantial, both due in large part to the lack of serious foreign competition.
Toyotas large pickup even in its second generation proved a minor threat. The Tundra, despite class-leading refinement, remains a half-size too small (at least until the new-for-2004 crew cab), and, with its largest engine a 245-horsepower 4.7-liter V8, has often been perceived as underpowered. A few years back Toyota introduced the Sequoia, a full-size SUV based on this pickup, but it has been held back by a premium price and an underperforming (if smooth) powertrain. Some have suggested that Toyota intentionally held back on these products to give Detroit some breathing room and so avoid a political backlash.
Companies on the ropes have no such qualms, and a few years back Nissan was on the ropes. In need of big profits to keep the company afloat, Nissan decided to go all-out after the most profitable segment in the American market, large trucks. For the 2004 model year it is introducing first a large SUV and then a large pickup. Both are truly large, larger even than their competitors from Detroit. The SUV, for instance, is an inch longer than the Ford Expedition and rides on a wheelbase that is four inches longer. (Toyotas Sequoia is three inches shorter than the Nissan.) The only engine in Nissans big trucks is a 305-horsepower, 5.6-liter DOHC V8. Among directly competing vehicles only the 5.7-liter Hemi in the Dodge Ram and Durango is more powerful, with 335 horsepower in the latter. Even more notable, the Nissan engine kicks out 385 foot-pounds of torque, the most available in a volume production light-duty truck. A few years back I reviewed the Toyota Sequoia. Impressed by its refinement, I concluded that Detroit had reason to be worried. Well, it seems that Detroit didnt have to be so worried about that one. But what about this one? I test drove Nissans large SUV, the awkwardly- and confusingly-named Pathfinder Armada, to find out.
Lets do what Nissan is bound to in a few years and simply call it the Armada, okay?
Update: Make that a few months. Nissan announced on January 31st that they're dropping the Pathfinder part of the name.
Nissan Armada Reliability
Want better reliability information? Want to really know what difference it will make if you buy a Nissan Armada rather than something else? It's coming in the form of "times in the shop" and "days in the shop" stats. From these you might learn that your first choice, compared to your second choice, is likely to make 2.7 extra trips to the shop in its first five years. You might decide its advantages compensate for this, or you might not.
Either way, you'll be able to make a much better informed decision.

Not only is the Armada large, but it is styled to look even larger. Much of the massive front end is swathed in chrome. The fenders bulge upward and outward. The roofline arcs up over the first two rows before flattening out over the rear of the vehicle. The overall effect, intended and achieved, is that the Armada comes across as a brute of a vehicle. Like the Hummer H2, just dialed back a touch, its not meant to be pretty. Its meant to be scary.
Inside the theme is much the same. The instrument panel is massive both vertically and horizontally, and its styling if anything increases the appearance of bulk. All of the controls are large, no doubt so they can be operated with gloves on (a standard pickup requirement) but also to reinforce the impression that this is one serious machine. Some of the interior styling, like that in the Hummer H2, borders on quirky and cartoonish. The way the temperature gauge is inset within the other secondary gauges is a bit much, for example.
One design choice Im especially not sure about: the window switches rest on a horizontal surface at the base of the windows. Are they vulnerable to water here? Time will tell. They are easy to reach and operate.
More questionable are the choices of materials. The various knobs on the instrument panel look nice enough, but feel extremely cheap. More even than in past Nissans materials quality sets a new low for the segment. The cloth interior of the Armada in the showroom looked awful. The leather within the SUV I drove looked and felt better. An unusual woven leather is used on the center panels of the seats. It fits the intended image of the truck.
Beyond the look and feel of the Armadas materials, one trim piece, the seat release surround atop the left second-row seat, actually came loose in my hand, and I could not securely snap it back into place. Fresh-off-the-truck $40,000 vehicles should not fall apart in the showroom. Buyer beware.
This is an extremely roomy vehicle. At least when upholstered in leather, the front seats are plush yet appropriately supportive and quite comfortable. As in all large trucks, you sit way up above the hood and even further above the road, providing a commanding view out. (Though the Armadas huge dash and extra-thick A-pillars restrict the sense of visibility somewhat. Both might set new records for size.) Standard running boards aid getting in and out.
The second row, which is split 40/20/40 in three pieces, is also roomy and comfortable. (A pair of captains chairs are standard; this split bench is a no-cost option.) This is a very wide vehicle, and three adults should fit easily. This seat tumbles forward to provide a wide access path to the third row.
The third row is not quite so pleasant. Despite the Expedition-like independent rear suspension the floor is high back there, so unlike in the Expedition but much like in the other, live-axle large SUVS the seat is mounted not far off it. Adults get no thigh support. Compared to the competition, this seat is much better than the Tahoes abysmal third row, likely a bit better than that in the Sequoia, perhaps equal to that in the new-for-2004 Dodge Durango, but decidedly inferior to that in the Ford Expedition. For the Expedition Ford adopted an independent rear suspension. This allowed the floor to be lowered about half-a-foot. If you want a third row that is comfortable for adults, the Ford is the only SUV that will do.
Automatic climate control was notably absent from the truck I drove despite its $41,000 price. This seemed an odd omission given the standard 265-watt, ten-speaker Bose stereo and rear A/C.
Ample storage compartments are located throughout the interior, most notably in the center console. Without the optional sunroof and DVD entertainment system there are half a dozen storage compartments in the roof console. Most are sized for sunglasses. Does anyone have this many?
Nissan recognized that people simply do not want to remove seats from their trucks to maximize cargo room. In the Armada every seat but the drivers (including the front row passengers) can be folded to create a flat load floor. No headrests need be removed. To eliminate the gaps between the folded seats, flaps are attached to the second-row seatbacks. (An increasingly common tactic in this sort of vehicle.)
With all seats up there is enough room behind the third row for a large grocery run (20 cubic feet, about the same as the competition). With only the third row folded there appears enough space back there to haul, well, just about anything that might need hauling. The width of the cargo area is especially impressive. Fold the second row as well and theres likely more space than in the living rooms of some of the Japanese engineers who worked on the vehicle. (What must they have thought?) Campers can probably set up their tent inside the truck. On paper maximum cargo volume is lowest in the class at 97 cubic feet (the Expedition offers 111, the Sequoia 128 if its second row is unbolted and removed), but this number does not accurately represent the capacity of the Armada.
Car & Driver
provides a number of real-world stats, the most helpful of which is likely the largest sheet of plywood that will fit. The Armada can hold an 84-by-49-inch sheet, just a bit under the Expeditions 86 by 49.5 and well over the Sequoias 74 by 48. Ultimately they all hold a great deal, but only the Armada, Expedition, and new Durango do not require that seats be removed, and only the Nissan adds a fold-flat front passenger seat (though I would not be surprised if this feature is available on most cars and trucks within a few years). One weakness: The load floor is high, as it must be given the off-road-worthy ground clearance and folding seats.
On the Road
Large trucks have surged in popularity in large part because the latest versions feel smaller than they are from behind the wheel. GMs large SUVs are especially accomplished in this regard, with a light, even nimble feel. The Armada, in contrast, feels every bit as large as it is. This was evident within ten yards, and the impression only intensified throughout my test drive. Over uneven surfaces the Armada lunges and bounds, in marked contrast to its competition. Body control is poor. If I did not know better I would have thought the rear wheels were suspended by a live axle. The steering likely matches the class average in terms of weighting and feel (both are short of the car norm), but it cannot make up for the crude moves of the chassis. One positive aspect of the chassis: lean in turns is minimal for such a tall, heavy vehicle. Grip is at least average, enabled by huge 265/70R18 tires.
GMs SUVs have a far more compliant ride. The Ford Expedition rides more firmly than the GM trucks, and can feel a bit busy at low speeds over uneven pavement, but its all-independent suspension provides excellent body control and overall composure. The Toyota Sequoia and new Dodge Durango fall somewhere between the GM and Ford products in character. This leaves the Armada a late-arriving relic of a bygone age when trucks handled and rode like trucks. The chassis of the large Nissan is at least a generation behind Detroit, an odd place for a Japanese manufacturer to be.
Let me make this clear: anyone uncomfortable with driving a bulky vehicle could easily be terrified behind the wheel of the Armada.
Aside from the chassis issues, noise levels in the Armada are higher than in most competitors. Worse, with all windows up a boomy resonance pervaded the interior of the truck at roughly 40 miles-per-hour. The salesperson claimed this was because of the newness of the door seals, and cracked a window to eliminate it. This of course made the interior even noisier, and should not be necessary. Ive driven many vehicles with new door seals, but the only one Ive noted similar boominess in is Pontiacs Aztek. I find it hard to believe that these two vehicles lead in the industry in the performance of their door seals. At any rate, how long will it take them to be not so tight?
The Armadas dynamic strength is clearly its powertrain. The big DOHC V8, abetted by five ratios in the slushbox (one more than those in GMs and Fords large SUVs), moves the Nissans 5400-pound mass with ease at all speeds I cared to go. Floor the accelerator and the Armada accelerates more quickly than any vehicle this size has a right to. Both the engine and transmission respond readily to throttle inputs. The only downside here, and it will not be a downside at all for many, is that the engine despite its leading-edge DOHC configuration sounds very much like a classic OHV Detroit truck V8, which is to say like one of GMs truck V8s. Here as well it seems Nissan wanted the Armada to seem every bit a genuine full-size truck.
I did not have the opportunity to measure fuel economy, but do not feel Im going out on a limb by predicting that 15 seems a stretch. Exercise the engine much and fuel economy in the single digits should be within reach.
I also did not test the Armada off-road. The four-wheel-drive system, like most competitors, notably includes an auto mode where the front wheels are engaged as necessary. I tested this by flooring the throttle as I exited turns. The stability control system kicked in a few times (and I lacked the guts to disable it), but even so the powertrain smoothly transferred the engines massive torque to the pavement and I rocketed out of turns. As this would not have been possible driving the rear wheels only, I must assume that the four-wheel-drive system expeditiously transferred a good portion of the engines torque to the front. Stability powering out of turns was one of the trucks dynamic strong points.
The Armada comes standard with a raft of safety features, including stability control and curtain airbags for all three rows. The LE includes rear obstacle detection, a good thing to have with such a large vehicle.
For quick, up-to-date pricing, and especially user-specified price comparisons, check out the website I created:
. Why yet another vehicle pricing website? Well, I personally lacked the patience to keep using the others. They were too slow and required too much effort, especially when trying to compare prices. So I taught myself some programming and created a site where there is no need to dig through option packages, prerequisites, and the like one by one -- the
algorithm figures these out for you in
one swift pass
Last Words
The Armadas strong points are a powerful V8, flat cornering, and a spacious, versatile interior. Because of these strengths I would not be surprised if it wins a comparison test or two within the enthusiast magazines. (
Car and Driver's
recent review seemed especially inclined in this direction.) Unfortunately the Armada also has some major weaknesses in materials quality, third row comfort, and chassis composure. In my view the latter more than outweigh the former in a large SUV, so I cannot recommend this vehicle. On paper the big Nissan seemed capable of destroying Detroit, but on the road it seems much less of a threat. Id look primarily at the Ford and the Dodge, and maybe the Toyota as well for those who will only buy a Japanese vehicle or who highly prioritize refinement.
As much as I have issues with Ford lately (the engine in my Contour required replacement at 66,000 miles), the Expedition seems the best of the bunch to me, with an almost equally versatile interior, much more comfortable third row, higher quality interior materials, and far superior chassis. Nissan also incurred the extra expense of an independent rear suspension, but somehow failed to realize nearly the same level of benefits from it.
The new Dodge Durango is nearly three inches narrower than the others, and nearly half a foot narrower inside (its fender flares are not good for packaging efficiency), and thus it feels significantly more manageable. It matches the Nissan in engine performance, blows past it in chassis composure, and nearly matches it in interior room and versatility. The Dodges main weaknesses are cheap-looking interior trim and a narrower interior, and the latter is in some ways a benefit. By early next year I expect very good pricing on this new vehicle. For now it's too close to the Ford in price, and thus attractive mostly to those who crave fast acceleration in their big truck.

School which cancelled prom suspended trans student

What is up with this school? Kids are meant to go to school to get an education and opportunities in life. Not to be victimised and judged by those running it.
My best wishes to Baize and Constance.
Florida?! Holy ****, is there some sort of donation drive going to help get this kid out of that hellhole? Geez, talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I hope they manage to catch a break. It's tough enough being a kid these days without society's hang-ups weighing you down.
Sickening. Akin to kicking out a student due to skin colour.
Ha, Mississippi ! Why am I not surprised ?
Yet more proof that school seem less for learning and more to just press-mould people into ONE SINGLE set shape (at least in the US, up here in Canada we had openly gay student with no problems except the pseudo-macho prick students who insulted him and crap)
Its very sad that his family was forced to move away, I may just be a "stupid Canadian" here, but what, does the US still witch and "fag" burning or something? Or is this just another pathetic land-lord throwing someone out because they don't fit the one-true-cultural-norm and his mom wasn't being a good parent cause she wasn't beating her kid and verbally abusing him for being transgendered?
Get all the open-minded students to boycott the school. They can't suspend everybody. Not everybody in Mississipi is a redneck – it's just that they rule the roost. Up till now.
Pathetic. What the hell does it matter what clothes students wear as long as it's decent?
You're right, Dan – they're trying to enforce their narrow view of 'normal' on everyone else. The impetus for this is, I'm guessing, some false religious belief. Also, it's a sign of personal insecurity and a lack of self-confidence to pick on other people for being 'different'.
At roughly the same time pinknews.co.uk reports that an LGBT conference in Indonesia was terminated by the police. It certainly makes one wonder. LGBT people must have INCREDIBLE POWERS, capable of overturning the established order in Mississippi, Indonesia, and the rest of the world, with amazing ease. If not, then what's the fuss about?
I am in a dilemma here: I feel is that repressive solutions are morally repugnant. On the other hand, these people, Christian or Muslim, can't be argued with, because they simply know better. This is the inherent problem of the Abrahamic religions: a religion based on the omnipotence of a single deity inevitably corrupts susceptible people into believing they are omnipotent themselves, and that right is on their side. When the chips are down, it isn't.
It's bad enough that kids get bullied by other students. But to be bullied by the authorities must be dreadful. Is it that some Americans never travel out of state and therefore take their ignorance into the workplace? and/or is this the outcome of allowing religion to dominate politics?
I'm starting to believe religious institutions now do more harm than good.
At least this story is giving some coverage to transgenders and transphobia.
But Juin's problems are just beginning….the mother is courageous, though, so there is hope.
Well I would not recommend this school for its forward thinking and up to date approach to these important issues . Booting kids out of school is not an option unless they are VIOLENT and disruptive .
Surely the school should be seting an example to the other students on the correct way to behave.

Churachandpur (Pron:/ˌtʃʊɹətʃændɹəˈpʊə/) is a district or zilā located in the south-western corner of the Indian state of Manipur. The largest district in Manipur, it is the site of the eponymous district headquarters and covers an area of 4,750 kilometres (2,950 mi).
History and background[edit]
The district's terrain is mainly hilly, with narrow valleys that support cultivation of paddy rice. It is an important commercial and cultural center for highlanders living in the region. Originally, it was called Lamka by its inhabitants but was renamed Churachandpur by the Meiteis after World War II era in honor of their king Raja Churachand Singh.
The population is made up of a number of communities including the Paites, Simte, Zous, Vaipheis, Lushais, Thadous and Hmars who are all descended from the Tibeto-Burman Zo ancestral group family. A significant number of Meiteis and other plains communities also live here. Because of their common ancestry, each and every tribe can understand the different dialects in the district. However, Paite is the lingua-franca of the district.
Marshland reclamation[edit]
Before World War II, the Churachandpur Valley was a tiny, mosquito-infested area on the west bank of the Tuitha or Khuga river. Indigenous tribes traditionally survived through jhum or slash-and-burn agriculture on the hills surrounding the valley and avoided the malaria-prone lowland until the introduction of wet-rice cultivation sometime during the inter-war period.
The shift from jhum to paddy cultivation in the 1930s was a local agricultural revolution. For the first time, surplus food led to the birth of specialised services to sustain the local tribal township. As a result, a new tribal middle class emerged consisting of merchants, shop-keepers, pharmacists, clerks, contractors, clergy, teachers, bankers and civil servants. The settlement subsequently expanded towards the west bank of the river. Malaria, dreaded as a "malignant spirit" in the past, was eliminated. In recent years, urban sprawl has put pressure on land, resulting in a rise in prices and the loss of agriculture land to housing to accommodate new urban settlers. This process has increased the area's dependence on outside supplies of food grains .
Expansion of Lamka[edit]
The post-war period saw the rapid growth of villages in Churachandpur, until it engulfed the entirety of Lamka. Lamka was originally a separate village located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Songpi. The western frontier of Lamka (Old Churachand) and the northern frontier of Lamka had different origins until they recently merged.[clarification needed Meaning unclear] For a long time, Lamka was regarded as more important than other villages in the area.(See Chinkhopau 1995; Neihsial 1996).
The Northern and the Southern Frontiers[edit]
By the 1970s, the commercial frontier of Lamka in the east and the missionary frontier of Songpi in the west had practically merged. Churachandpur became the administrative centre that houses the district's administrative headquarters, and served as India's administrative frontier. Meanwhile, New Lamka became the southern frontier of new urban settlers. In fact, New Lamka is the most densely populated area of the town and combines different historic personalities associated with the district. In recent years, Churachandpur loses much of its skilled population to other big cities. Even so, the town population keeps growing due to a continuous stream of rural migrants from interior villages. Like most Indian towns, the urban infrastructure of Churachandpur suffers from lack of investment, lack of urban planning, and poor management. As the town expands without upgrading its infrastructure, the ugly side of urban growth like solid waste, traffic congestion and air pollution are now at the doorstep of Churachandpur town.
Khuga Dam[edit]
This section is outdated. (July 2014) |
The resumption of the Khuga Dam project kick-started a new economic process fuelled by construction and related activities. This project may also be partly responsible for Lamka's recent increase in demand for and consumption of cement and steel for private housing construction. The dam has already created an artificial lake at the southern tip of Lamka town near Mata village. This multi-purpose project irrigates 150 square kilometres (58 sq mi) of land within 20 kilometres (12 mi) of the dam site and will also supply five million imperial gallons (23,000 m³)[clarification needed Over what period: per second, per year?] of drinking water and 1.75 MW of electricity for the town. The dam project began in 1983 at an estimated cost of Rs. 150 million. It was due to be completed within four years but came to a standstill due to alleged financial irregularities. The ethnic conflict of 1997–98 also hampered further progress. When the project was resumed in 2002, the estimated cost had risen to over Rs. 2.80 billion. To date, the project remains the biggest investment made by the government of India in the Churachandpur district. The structure of the earthen dam has been completed, but some components remain unfinished. June 2007 is the revised dateline for the completion of the project. The project received negative media attention and a lot of resentment due to inefficient handling of land acquisition and compensatory payments to the displaced people around the dam site. The project's undue delay also complicates the problem of compensation.
Urban status[edit]
Although Churachandpur is the second biggest town in Manipur, it has no urban status according to the latest official records. On 11 July 2006, A.K. Sinha, Deputy Commissioner-cum-Chairman of Autonomous District Council, CC Pur, declared some parts of the town as a "census town". The list of localities included in the town census are Tuibuang, Bijang, Sielmat, Zenhang Lamka, Rengkai, Luooa Veng, Nehru Marg, New Lamka, Salem Veng, Hill town, Hiangtam Lamka, Chapel Lane (a locality within Upper, or Hiangtam, Lamka), Headquarter Veng, Chiengkonpang, D Phailien, Bungmual, Pearsonmun, Thingkangphai, Nghathal, Kawnpui, Mualkot, Gangpimual, Mission Veng, Lhangnem, Gangte Veng, Zellang Veng, Pangzawl,Molnom,S.Haijang, M. Songgel and Lanva . In the absence of any clear criteria for inclusion or exclusion, the whole exercise was arbitrary. There are certain localities at the very heart of the town which are excluded form the census town – such as Zomi Colony, Hmar Veng, Simveng, Hiangzou, and Zoveng.
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Churachandpur one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640).[2] It is one of the three districts in Manipur currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).[2]
Churachandpur town is well-serviced by telephone companies including BSNL Airtel and Aircel in addition to BSNL, which formerly monopolised the telecom service. Services from other private companies such as TATA Indicom, Vodafone, and Idea Peitecell are also available.
Churachandpur town is connected to the state capital, Imphal city, by the Tedim Road to Burma, which was constructed by the British during World War II as a military supply route. The town is just over a one hour drive from Imphal airport ~(65 kilometres (40 mi)). National Highway No. 150, also known as Tipaimukh Road, passes through the heart of the town on its way to Mizoram. Guite Road also connects the town with the neighboring state of Mizoram across the Tuivai River.
As of the 2011 census[update], Churachandpur district had a population of 271,274,[3] roughly equal to that of Barbados.[4] This gives it a ranking of 575th in India (out of a total of 640 districts).[3] The district has a population density of 59 inhabitants per square kilometre (150/sq mi).[3] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001–2011 was 19.03%.[3] Churachandpur has a sex ratio of 969 females for every 1000 males,[3] and a literacy rate of 84.29%.[3]
The district is inhabited by several tribes, including the Paite, Vaiphei, Zou and Thadou. In addition to these, there are also the Gangte, Simte and with a small number of Tedim, Milhiem/Miria, Hmar, and Mizo . There are also other ethnic groups like Nepalese, Biharis, Marwaris, and Punjabis. While the Nepalese excel in the milk industry, the Marwaris are well known for their business acumen. Despite the commercial origins of Churachandpur town, the indigenous people have produced few entrepreneurs and people traditionally worked in the government sector. The town is over-represented in civil services at the national level.[citation needed]

Men's and women's ice hockey host NESCAC playoffs
For the first time ever, both the Connecticut College women's and men's ice hockey teams will host the NESCAC Quarterfinal games on their home ice, Dayton Arena.
Sailing coach Jeff Bresnahan, far right, with members of the sailing team.
Under the direction of head coach Jeff Bresnahan, the Connecticut College sailing program consistently produces all-Americans and Olympians. Over two decades, his women's and coed teams have ranked regularly in the top 20 in the nation. Last year, the program posted its best-ever finish, with both teams qualifying for nationals, and Bresnahan was honored as the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association coach of the year.
How does Bresnahan do it? Recruiting and developing new talent, a boathouse on campus and a sensitive balance of academics and athletics are all part of the formula, according to an article in the Spring 2012 issue of the College's alumni magazine.
Read all about his year's top contenders and their prospects as they sail into the spring season here.

Recent news makes for another frustrating offseason for Dolphins fans
I certainly hate that the Dolphins had to receive yet another set of bad news in the suspension of Dion Jordan, but I can't say that it's of huge concern other than just the lack of a big-bodied backup. In the 2013 season, Jordan recorded only 19 total tackles in 16 games. He did record 2 sacks, but he certainly wasn't the leading contributor for the Miami defensive effort...

The Closest Thing to Free Money
By Joseph Hogue
NEW YORK ( StreetAuthority) -- I have a deal for you. I am willing to lend you funds at around a quarter of a percent for a short term, say a month. I will not raise the rate each time you come back to take out a new loan and I will not interfere with how you use the funds.
The only thing I ask in return... well, I won't ask anything in return. It's pretty close to free money. Deal?
The Federal Reserve extended this offer to a select group of investment companies and has guaranteed its continuance with its most recent policy meeting. The central bank lowered its growth and inflation estimates for the U.S. economy, meaning that rock-bottom rates are here to stay until well into 2014.
Also important, the Fed will continue to reinvest its incoming funds into mortgage-backed securities, or MBS, which will help support the housing market. It's a great deal if you can get it -- and you can! Not directly of course, unless you have an inside track to Bernanke & friends at the Federal Reserve, but you can participate through shares of mortgage real estate investment trusts, or mREITs.mREITs: Making Money the Easy Way
These companies borrow money backed by their assets at a one-month rate of around 0.29%, and then invest the loan in higher-yielding mortgage securities, usually paying around 2.6%. Now this spread of 2.3% is not so enticing until you understand that mREITs use leverage to borrow between seven and 10 times the amount of assets they possess. This can allow a $10 billion company to collect $2.3 billion in interest income, a 23% return. In addition to the great rate on funding, these companies are exempt from federal taxes as long as they pay out at least 90% of income to stockholders. With a stabilizing housing market and little growth elsewhere in the economy, mortgage-backed securities are receiving a lot of attention. Especially from some of the smartest investors in the world. Pimco's bond guru, Bill Gross, borrowed a record $88 billion in January to bet on MBS, which is now 54% of his flagship Total Return Fund. Warren Buffett and Fortress Investment Group are at odds over who will buy Residential Capital's mortgage portfolio when it goes to auction.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

About me hmmmm.... well lets see I have lost half my body weight
and have become very healthy. I work out but only three days a week
and usually run 2 miles a day. My true passion is cars and
different mods I can do to them. Cars are like art they give me an
outlet to show who I really am and the things I can do. Now the bad
stuff... I've been married and divorced but not by my choice....
that's a story in its self wich I would be willing to tell but not
on here. After that my life took a huge change and I'm happy where
I'm at.... its been 4 yrs since the divorce just so you know... I
don't have kids but would eventually like some. One other little
thing about me I am an ASSHOLE and openly admit it just because I'm
sick and tired of drama and other peoples bullshit. I'm also a huge
smart ass and try to find humor in everything.... when
appropriate... I'm really a nice Guy once you get to know me and I
can actually trust you.
