You have to admire Margot Robbie for briefly sticking to her principles. In an interview with Vogue, the 23-year-old Australian says she initially rejected a role in the film The Wolf of Wall Street because the script read as if her part would be little more than a sex object. Her agent pointed out that since she was best known for appearing in Neighbours, and since Martin Scorsese was directing, she couldn't afford to be picky.
Maybe she should have trusted her instincts. The script called for her sex scene with Leonardo DiCaprio

Rumer Willis and her mom Demi Moore hit the beach for the holidays, according to a Jan. 1 Daily Mail report. Joined by Willis' on-again boyfriend Jayson Blair joined the mother and daughter due for a New Year trip to Tulum, Mexico where they spent time on beach enjoying the sunshine in skimpy bikinis near their luxurious resort.
The 25-year-old showed off her good genes in an Aztec print bikini, which she later paired with patterned caftan style dress, and later, a loose grey dress. Moore, for her part gave her daughter some competition in a simple black bikini.
According to the New York Post, the group spent the holidays at a beachfront resort on the Riviera Maya. It appears Willis is working on her relationship with her mother after reportedly cutting her off for too much partying after she split with ex-husband Ashton Kutcher.
Moore children initially supported her after her split because they believed she was "distraught," but they were "mortified" when she started dating one of Rumer's friends, Vito Schnable, the Daily Mail reports. At the time of the family rift, a source told the New York Daily News, "Rumer is really the one making the decision to do this as the oldest. Around the time Bruce's wife Emma Heming had a baby, it was this scary sense of, 'Demi went off her rocker again.'"

When an item of clothing gets called a "boob top", you probably picture something that's low-cut and shows a lot of cleavage, et cetera. However, this Boob Top ($79), hand printed with an all-over pattern painted by Cassie McGettigan, is exactly what it's called: a top covered with boobs of all different shapes and sizes. Hooray!
gross and weird.

– Take a stick, chalk or finger and wave the stick, chalk or finger in front of the chicken to get its attention.
– Draw a line outward from near the end of the chicken's beak. This will make the chicken to focus on it and enter a hypnotic trance this way. Even if you touch it, it will not react.

There are always two sides to every story. Life is not really like a Disney movie where the good guys wear white and are clearly good and the bad guys wear black and are clearly bad. In real life, even the baddest of the bad guys, have complicated back stories and nothing is clear-cut.
In the new movie Maleficent, we take a look at one of Disney's most beloved and iconic villains and try to figure out why she became that way. We also learn that the story that we might have know, may not have been as accurate as we were told.
Angelina Jolie plays the titular role. She has make up on that gives her cheek bones the trademark look from the cartoon character from Sleeping Beauty. Despite the make up and outstanding costume, she manages to shine through and portray Maleficent in a way that makes you care about her, root for her, and understand why she does what she does.
You see, Maleficent is a fairy. She was one of the most powerful fairies in a land of enchanted and magical creatures known as the Moors. So powerful was she that she became the protector of the Moors so that when selfish humans decided that they wanted to conquer the magical lands, it fell to her to defend it. She does so with her powerful wings and extremely powerful magic.
However, Maleficent has befriended, and even fallen in love with, a human. When that human grows up, becomes selfish for power and riches, and not only breaks her heart, but betrays her, well, what else is there to do but put on black and curse a child?
All I have stated so far is pretty much known and shown in the trailers. The rest, you have to see for yourself. However, let me say that if you have seen Sleeping Beauty and think you know the tale, you do not.
For some reason critics have been very, very harsh on this movie. I, for the life of me, cannot understand why. Angelina Jolie is just outstanding in the title role. Honestly, I think this is one of the best performances she has had. She portrays menace, but also the hurt that drives her to be a menace. Only Jolie could be terrifying, but sympathetic at the same time.
The rest of the cast is also good. Elle Fanning plays Aurora, AKA Sleeping Beauty, and she is fine in the role. She really just has to smile and look pretty.
The one performance that helps with the movie, but might get lost, is Sharlto Copley as the king and Aurora's father. He plays a man slowly becoming unhinged as he obsesses over Maleficent and the curse. He does so very well and, in some ways, his descent into madness is one of the more terrifying things in the movie. It's a small role, but he commands the screen whenever he is on it.
The special effects are all great. Some are saying that the movie relies on them too much, but I disagree. I felt that the magical creatures were rendered beautifully. The Moors, being a land full of magic, should be hyper-real and not at all like the world of humanity. I think they achieve that nicely in this film.
The story moves nicely. The action is great. There is humor mixed in with this story, along with some intense scenes that might be a little scary for very young children. I sort of feel that this one should carry a PG-13 rating.
All in all, this is a well written story told well. You will root for the right people at the right time, feel heartbreak when heartbreak should be felt, and feel betrayal when that is warranted. It's an excellent summer movie, worth seeing, and one that is being maligned unfairly.

Promoted as the hardest thing since Chuck Norris%26rsquo; forehead, the following collection of grizzled marines, legendary soldiers and black-hearted school children cut imposing figures. Break past the Duke Nukem tough veneer, though, and you%26rsquo;ll actually find most of these hard men are really as daunting as the Wii%26rsquo;s processing power.
If over-pronounced bouts of masculinity are a sign of insecurity, then these boys must all sleep with security blankets constantly clutched betweens their stupidly-sized biceps. Cowardly, comically inept or just addicted to being murdered, they%26rsquo;d be ill prepared for an animated argument, let alone the vicious virtual worlds they live in. So, when danger calls or the faeces hits the fan, and you can afford them%26hellip; call someone else.
Warning - contains spoilers.
Why you%26rsquo;d think he%26rsquo;s a hard man
Above: Seemingly hard on the outside...
On first glance Snake Eater%26rsquo;s malevolent Ruskie solider is Joseph Stalin melded with a feral Pikachu, without the laughs. Throughout the course of Big Boss%26rsquo; Cold War adventure Volgin brutally beats subordinates to death, launches a nuclear missile on his own motherland and dabbles in a little sexy sadism time with the one-eyed operative%26rsquo;s love interest, Eva. All this and he can harness the elements themselves, with lightning constantly coursing through his body
Why he%26rsquo;s not hard at all
Looking back at his evil deeds they%26rsquo;re not really that dastardly or, more importantly, hard. The subordinates he kills are either drunken or weedy weapons scientists, the missile he fires is into a largely unpopulated area and his sadistic sexual behaviour is with a woman so promiscuous, she chooses to brave the cruel Russian cold in nothing but her undercrackers for most of the game.
Above: But all about the man-love on the inside
He%26rsquo;s also a bit of a coward and, when he actually has to fight Big Boss mano-a-mano, he cries for Ocelot%26rsquo;s help, before getting his electrified ass handed back to him. And, the less said about his relationship with the effeminate, thong-wearing Major Raikov, the better.
Not as hard as%26hellip; Sokolov
Sokolov is death-proof. Despite seemingly dieing in MGS 3, he reappears in MGS: Portable Ops. The karate stance he dons when Big Boss first saves him shows he%26rsquo;s well schooled in martial arts too. Granted, he pisses his pants during Ocelot%26rsquo;s Russian roulette interrogation, but we%26rsquo;ll just blame that on a rebellious bladder. Real men relieve themselves wherever they want.
Above: Don't mess with his kung-fu
Why you%26rsquo;d think he%26rsquo;s a hard man
Above: We can tell you're sucking it in Ropeburn
Travis Burfield, known as Ropeburn from his spandex-hugging wrestler days, has all the assets of a vintage hard man. Surly, broad-chested and adopting a %26lsquo;suplex now ask questions later%26rsquo; approach, he%26rsquo;s the head of security in a totalitarian city where the flow of information is suppressed. What%26rsquo;s more, he%26rsquo;s neck-deep in a citywide conspiracy %26ndash; Project Icarus %26ndash; to kill all the beautiful parkour people ferrying info between rooftops.
Why he%26rsquo;s not hard at all
Not as hard as%26hellip; Celeste
She might not look that tough as she guides you through the game%26rsquo;s tutorial, but Celeste soon proves to be a backstabbing, karate-kicking super assassin. The fight against her at the end of the game is much more challenging than the two second scrap against Ropeburn. Score one for girl power and zero for sweaty man-hugging wrestlers.

Shanna Moakler
"I really was the biggest dork in high school. I know everyone says that, but I was 4'11" and 75 pounds when I was 17. I didn't hit puberty until I was 17, so no one hit on me." - Shanna Moakler
A former Miss USA, Moakler gained notoriety as another "Miss," that of Miss December 2001 in Play..boy magazine. Her acting career has been fruitful as well, with roles on the TV series Pacific Blue, and in the films Poison Ivy: The New Seduction and Love Stinks, among others. In all her various ventures, she has proved to be one straight up, sexy lady.
She quickly garnered the attention of the press, when she started dating Oscar De La Hoya, boxing's Golden Boy. Their long-term relationship produced a daughter, named Atiana. Unfortunately, after Moakler saw her boxer beau (and fiancé) with another woman at the Latin Grammy Awards, she knew the rocky love affair was over. She filed a $62.5 million US palimony lawsuit against him, and the results are still pending.
Positive news came in 1998, when she obtained a role as a crime-fighting beach babe on the USA Network's Pacific Blue. The stint lasted two years, during which she also appeared in the films The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler, and Love Stinks with Tyra Banks, as well as on E! Television's Search Party.
In the winter of 2001, she proudly posed for Play..boy. The magazine spread helped boost her popularity and she followed it up with a guest appearance on the game show Weakest Link, as well as several Play..boy spin-off appearances. Another movie, Seeing Other People, starring Jay Mohr, is in the works for her, while her modeling success is sure to continue... with our blessing, of course.
Shanna Moakler BiographyA Providence, Rhode Island native, Shanna Elisabeth Moakler was born on March 28th, 1975. She led an everyday girl's existence in high school until, as a late "bloomer," guys started to notice something special about her. She blossomed into a full-bodied, 5'8" beauty and started to model.
moakler wants world peace
She began modeling in Miami after graduation, and, at 18, set her sights on the Miss USA Pageant. In 1995, she competed in the popular event and came in second to Chelsi Smith. A few months later, Smith won the Miss Universe crown and thus turned over her USA title to Moakler.
During her reign as Miss USA, she got a taste of the spotlight, but did not enjoy the constant chaperoning that went hand in hand with the tiara. Moakler was too much of a free spirit to be harnessed like that and was glad when her one-year reign was over.
Moakler proceeded to get involved in television, landing her first role in Friends 'Til the End with Shannon Doherty, and film, doing the raunchy Poison Ivy: The New Seduction, both in 1997.
Golden Boy wasn't her golden man
The publicity continued when she started dating famous boxer Oscar De La Hoya. For the first years of the relationship, life was good for the poster-worthy duo and they had a daughter together; Atiana, born March 29th, 1999. During that time, Moakler was busy acting: you can catch her as a flight attendant in The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler and in a more significant role as a beach-patrol cop, from 1998 to 2000, on the series Pacific Blue.
Although they were engaged, the bond between De La Hoya and Moakler soon broke. Moakler accused the boxer of alcoholism and, after seeing him with another woman at the Latin Grammy Awards, recognized the relationship was over. She filed a $62.5 million US palimony suit in December of 2000, on the grounds that he was abusive and used Moakler and their daughter as show to promote his image.
small parts before centerfold feature
As dark as some of those days must have been, Moakler persevered. She had a small role in the film Love Stinks with Tyra Banks and was also on E! Television's Search Party, a popular game show. The forgettable B-movie Critical Mass served as a prelude to her biggest success yet: Miss December 2001 in Play..boy magazine.
From there, she fully recovered from a stormy past after becoming involved with actor Dennis Quaid. Other Play..boy responsibilities served as a boost to her career, as did an appearance on the game show Weakest Link. There is certainly nothing "weak" about Moakler, and she caps off a busy schedule of late with the film Seeing Other People, starring Jay Mohr, due out in 2004.

Now could you really imagine a Republican First Lady doing something as silly as this? No. I could not either and I happen to believe that it is a crying shame that the Office of the First Lady is being brought down to such a cheap level as this right here.
Whatever happened to class, whatever happened to the First Lady's respectability? Whatever happened to our elected leaders and their wives being a cut above the rest of the Country and actually acting like it?
It is no damned wonder the rest of the World looks at America and think we are nothing more than a ill-timed joke anymore. Also too, this is not about race at all; this is about what our Country looks like to the rest of the World.
I might not have agreed with President George W. Bush's foreign policy, but at least I did not have to worry about the First Lady being reduced to the level of a night club dancer.

Officials in Escambia County, Florida, are having trouble deciding if trap-neuter-return (TNR) is better for handling their feral cat population than flat-out extermination. According to an article on WEAR Channel 3, the county's animal shelter put down more than 4,300 cats last year. Strays made up more than half of that number.
They would like to start taking care of their feral cat problem with TNR programs. However, some national officials, along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, disagree. Some say there's no data supporting the effectiveness of TNR programs. They also believe that ferals are a public health problem, and therefore, getting rid of them as quickly as possible is the best.
Southern Methodist University has a webpage answering major questions about TNR, and they also explain why extermination doesn't work. First of all, with extermination, there is a "vacuum effect." When a colony is eradicated quickly, a new colony will move in. Feral cats live in areas where there's food and shelter. Eradicating the colony without also getting rid of the food supply and the shelter just encourages a new colony to move in and grow.
Feral cat colonies also control rodent populations. Places that have managed to eradicate entire colonies often suddenly find themselves with a nasty rodent problem. Rodents are also vectors for disease, sometimes more so than cats.
The Feral Cat Awareness Project says that two unaltered cats can become more than 42,000 cats in about two years. This is because cats can produce three to four litters per year, and the average litter size is four kittens. Furthermore, females don't have to be adults to get pregnant. Kittens as young as four or five months can go into heat and get pregnant.
According to the Feral Cat Awareness Project, if just 67 feral cats are sterilized, that will prevent over one million cats from being born over a six-year period.
There are extensive arguments about whether TNR is effective. One vet argues that one of the reasons TNR is not effective is because nobody can capture all of the cats. So how does extermination work, then? Does that not also require capturing all of the cats before they're able to reproduce, and before new cats move in? He does make some arguments that sound convincing, however, in accusing TNR proponents of ignoring facts, he, too, ignores facts.
Alley Cat Allies' longest running project, the Atlantic City Boardwalk Project, is quite successful, bringing the size of those colonies down to under 200 cats. Almost every cat living there is sterile, now, and the colonies shrink due to natural attrition. Another project at Stanford University has reduced the number of feral cats on campus from an astounding 1,500 to 200. However, like many strong solutions to complex problems, this takes time and effort that some are not willing to give.
Alley Cat Allies, Fat Cat Rescue of Illinois, the city of Albuquerque, and others, also have these cats vaccinated and treated for parasites and other treatable diseases. That helps to reduce the disease vector, and improve the lives of the cats under care. Furthermore, in Albuquerque, the effort has helped them improve their adoption and foster programs.
Those that favor extermination want a quick and supposedly easy solution, which ultimately proves to be temporary. They also don't seem to understand the full scope of caregivers' efforts to not only reduce populations, but reduce diseases. And a slow stabilization, and then reduction, of populations everywhere at once, will ultimately be more effective at stopping predation of birds, also. Escambia County would do well to go forward with their TNR efforts.

Primero Mining is dusting itself off after its bid for Northgate Minerals was scuttled when the latter agreed to be taken over by AuRico Gold.
CEO Joe Conway tells BNN there have been a number other companies asking the miner to look at what they have. "We do trade at a lower multiple than many, and there are opportunities to look for companies that trade at a lower multiple than we are."
He says the Northgate merger would have put it two years ahead of where it wanted to be in its growth plans. Primero had the right to match AuRico's offer, but chose not to.

Alecia Hardy, DDS
Dr. Alecia Hardy has literally been around dentistry her entire life. She was born the same year her father began practicing as a general dentist in her rural hometown of Louisburg, North Carolina. Upon completing her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (with honors) in 2007 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she joined her father's long-standing practice.
Patients who leave Dr. Alecia's chair are literally amazed by her ability to perform pain-free procedures and often compliment her chair-side manner. Patients who once feared the dentist, leave admiring Dr. Alecia!
Each week, her schedule is filled with patients of all ages and backgrounds who need everything from a filling, to a set of dentures, to a surgical extraction, to a smile makeover. True to her nature, Dr. Alecia makes sure every procedure is precise and every patient is pleased.
Originally, Dr. Alecia, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Wake Forest University, had intentions of becoming a heart surgeon. Following high school, she enrolled at Wake Forest University where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Biology in preparation for medical school. She set her sights on dentistry after taking part in an intensive Medical Education Development Program and earned numerous merit scholarships.
Her training included rotations at public health departments and hospitals alike. Her intense study of the Spanish language also offered Dr. Alecia an opportunity to participate in a dental school outreach program at an orphanage in Mexico during 2004. Today, her fluency in Spanish is advantageous for serving the local Hispanic community.
Above all, Dr. Alecia strives to engage each patient one-on-one and reassure them that good oral health habits can make a difference in their overall well-being.
James G. Hardy, DDS
Dr. James G. Hardy, a member of Old North State Dental Society, established his Louisburg, North Carolina practice in 1981, intent on offering access to affordable dental care. His dentistry, which embodies a genuine will to help others, has flourished over the years by adding patients across Franklin, Eastern Wake, Nash, Vance, and Warren counties.
A native of rural North Carolina himself, Dr. Hardy easily identified the tremendous need to improve oral health through education, prevention, and effective treatment in small communities. He grew up the son of a sharecropper in North Hampton County. Today, he is a well-known local dentist committed to helping patients transform not only their smile, but their overall health.
In 1981, he completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill where he was recognized for outstanding clinical work in Endodontics by the American College of Dentistry. That same year, he hung his sign as a solo practitioner: James G. Hardy, D.D.S. in the heart of Louisburg with one dental assistant and three operatory rooms in 1981. He simultaneously treated patients at a public health clinic in Soul City, North Carolina as a 2-year service commitment to National Health Service Corps.
Today, the practice boasts 10 operatories and a staff of 12, including his first-ever employee and his first-born child, Dr. Alecia Hardy. Together, as a father/daughter dental team they also operate a dental clinic at the Wake County Detention Center each Friday to provide necessary dental care to inmates.
Dr. Hardy attributes his success to being a naturally compassionate and patient person who makes time to deliver "old-fashioned" patient care. He is most proud of the impact he has made improving the dental IQ and oral health conditions throughout an entire area where access to care was once limited.
When not busy fixing teeth or spending time with his wife, three daughters, and extended family, he is active on the golf course and within his congregation at Davie Street Presbyterian in Raleigh. James and his daughter Alecia also enjoy long distance running.
Meet Our Team
At Hardy Family Dentistry, our dental team works hard to provide you the best dental care. All of our team members are highly trained, knowledgeable, and very friendly, and we strive to provide excellent customer service.

PLA D'ADET, France (AP) — Poland's Rafal Majka has won the 17th stage of the Tour de France in a late breakaway on the last of four tough climbs in the Pyrenees. Wednesday's 124.5-kilometer (77-mile) trek was the shortest stage in this year's Tour, and the second of three days in the mountains straddling the French and Spanish borders. It covered three hard Category 1 ascents from Saint-Gaudens and a final push up to Pla d'Adet ski station above the town of Saint-Lary-Soulan.

Welcome Back
You have unread private messages in the forum. Please go to the forum and read your messages.
Welcome Back
We have implemented our rating reminder for your downloaded releases and the server has detected you have 0 unrated releases please click on the link below to rate your releases now. Once you have given your Audio, Video score and Thumb Up/Down OR reported a problem with a release, that release will disappear from your list. You can also add a comment on the release from this page without having to locate the release again. Help OZnzb build a stronger community by rating now !!
If you don't want to rate a particular release you can also click on the ignore button next to that release. Please look in our forums if you would like more information on the ratings feature.
Welcome to the OZnzb user moderation feature!
To be able to use this feature you must read and agree to these rules and abide and adhere to them at all times.
There have been quite a lot if releases that have been reported as passworded or spam when they are in fact not. Whether this has been intentional misuse by some or just users clicking the report button by accident; either way, we need your help as the community to help with the upkeep of the reported releases.
We are actively removing all confirmed password and spam releases from the index so that we are not wasting yours and other users bandwidth and time on crap releases. Our aim is to have the cleanest and most accurate index and the most active community. Unfortunately these crap releases make their way into our index as we automatically index over 300+ usenet groups. Whilst we have filters in place to weed out the junk these filters constantly need tweaking as the posters change the way they code and upload the releases to usenet.
All users (including freeloaders) can now change a passworded or spam reported release made by them if it has been marked in error.
This new "Moderation" feature is only open to VIP, VIP+, and Legend Status users. It allows you to view all reported spam and passworded releases to either 'agree'' or 'disagree' with the reporting. All releases that have been agreed as passworded or spam will be removed from our index. If you disagree with a report the report will be removed straight away and no further reports will be accepted for that release. To agree or disagree with a reported release you are required to "test" the report. This means that you need to download the NZB and confirm if the report is correct or not. You are not allowed to simply look at the release and assume it or is not as reported, for clarification WE REQUIRE YOU TO ACTUALLY CONFIRM IF IT IS OR ISN'T. If any user is found to be abusing this system, the resulting action will/could include; loss of VIP status or cancelation of your account all together! You must confirm that you have read and agree to these rules to be able to use this feature, to do this please type "I Agree" (this is case sensitive without the quotes) in the box below and this will enable the feature for your account.
If you test a release and get an out of servers retention error this does not mean that you can agree as you have not successfully tested the release. If you are testing a passworded release and SAB pauses the release because "archive requires a password" you need to tell sab to continue to download the release and confirm if this is the actual case as SAB still has some issues with false positive password detection.
You have a new menu option in the blue bar called "Mods" under this menu there are 2 pages "Release Report Password List" and "Release Report Spam List" both of these pages will show all releases that have been reported and not actioned. You can sort these results based on all of the fields shown at the top in bold and you can also filter the results based on "Poster", "Release Name". This page allows you to send a reported "release to SAB" (provided you have SAB configured in your profile).
You can also remove a reported spam or password report from inside an individual release by simply clicking the disagree link inside the report bubble. Also removing a spam report will also remove the passworded report if a release had been reported as both and vice versa.
OZnzb would like to thank you, our community for helping to make this site so great!! Without all of you this site wouldn't be as awesome as it is today and for the future.

Whitechapel Gallery
The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of east London. Internationally acclaimed for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and its pioneering education and public events programmes, the Gallery has premiered international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Nan Goldin, and provided a showcase for Britain's most significant artists from Gilbert & George to Lucian Freud, Peter Doig to Mark Wallinger.
The Gallery plays a unique role in the capital's cultural landscape and is pivotal to the continued growth of East London as the world's most vibrant contemporary art quarter.
The Grade II* Whitechapel Gallery was designed by architect Charles Harrison Townsend. This purpose built gallery is an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts movement and its aspirations of being accessible, spiritually uplifting and transformative. This development also builds on the 1980s expansion by Colquhoun and Miller under the directorship of Sir Nicolas Serota and inaugurated by the Queen Mother.

Looking at the graphic narrative in its widest sense, the exhibition showcases treasures from The Hunterian and beyond, from the ancient Greeks to Hogarth and contemporary items.
Comic Invention also highlights a very important but little known work called The Glasgow Looking Glass of 1825 (pictured). Arguably the world's oldest comic, it predates titles like Punch by sixteen years.

A Gannet newspaper asked readers on Maryland's Eastern Shore an interesting question Aug. 9: Would you take in an undocumented child? Resident's in this depressed area of the country have answered overwhelmingly 'No.' Similarly, 10 answers to a similar poll on Yahoo last week found no claimers.
Some site health, culture and language as reasons for their resistance to the idea. Most of the naysayers cited the fact that the individuals broke U.S. law to enter. Breaking the law was the deal breaker.
"I am all for legal immigration — on a scale which the country can absorb. The annual amount of immigration is a policy decision which the Congress should resolve based on the capacity of public and private institutions to absorb legal immigrants, and based on the ability of the economy to provide lawful employment for legal immigrants," wrote Ernest Cornbrooks III of Salisbury, MD. "U.S. policy should be to give children who have entered the country illegally temporary shelter, sustenance, a medical checkup and then send them back from whence they came as soon as possible."
Even those opposed to amnesty programs suggested by many from both parties in Washington say they favor limited immigration and immigration reform that favors U.S. citizens. For instance, "People who want to be productive Americans should not have to experience such a prolonged and often expensive process, but all the same, they should be citizens to permanently remain in our country" Gianni DeVincenti Hayes, also of Salisbury, wrote.
"Nations sending children here in hopes of finding illegal or legal relatives — or open-hearted Americans to take them — should be told they are violating our policies. Our laws in this nation must mean something and be fully enforced. Children should not be made an object of politics."
The lone voice promoting the refugees on the Eastern Shore belonged to Dick Taeuber, of Salisbury. Salisbury is the largest city on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The original debate was published in the Salisbury Times. It grew after appearing on the paper's website Delmarvanow.com.
"Our nation is immigrant-based," Taeuber wrote. " Other than the few remaining Native Americans [from whom our ancestors took this nation], we all are descendants of immigrants, most of whom came in without documentation, which was not part of the process at their entry times.
"Most were merely welcomed with open arms, and that reputation of the United States of America largely continues throughout the world. As much as many residents want to keep the 'pot of gold' to themselves, we need to resolve how the nation will handle this multitude of rainbow seekers."
Gannet also owns USA Today. It would be interesting for that newspaper to ask the same question nationwide to see how John/Jane Q. Public answers. As for you, would you take in an undocumented child? Feel free to post your answer in the comments section below.

There is history in this town... and it's not just restaurants and cocktails.
That's what you learn by reading the recently released "New Orleans Beer - A Hoppy History of Big Easy Brewing" by Jeremy Labadie and Argyle Wolf-Knapp. The authors - Jeremy, a celebrated local beer blogger known as "The Beer Buddha" and Argyle, an astute historian and tour guide - have distinctively different styles, but blend well to present the full (and often quickly changing) landscape of the brewing history of this city, once the beer capital of the South.
The timeline, much like the character of this city, is laid out by neighborhood, following each slice of town as major events such as the Civil War, Prohibition, and Katrina (as well as simple economics) reshape the brewing scene on a regular basis. There are many strands to follow, as brewers move and rebuild and rename throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, but the culmination of this continuous expansion and retraction has led us through the dark ages to the current period of amazing growth. This is all covered inside the 100 pages or so of the book... and it is this part that is most exciting to me:
The history of New Orleans brewing is far from over.
So pick up a copy, perhaps down at the Garden District Book Shop at Prytania and Washington, and celebrate the past, present, and (most importantly) future of this incredible beverage in the Crescent City. If you think all beer in New Orleans started with Abita (or even Dixie), you may learn a thing or two.
Drink (and read) well, my friends!

As Obama gains support to rape the Ukraine again, this time with sanctions, a many as 42 people died Friday in a fire lit by Ukraine's Right Sector and Self-defence radicals at trade union council building in the Black Sea city of Odessa, a spokesman for the Ukrainian interior ministry said.
According to the ministry, 30 people died of carbon oxide intoxication, eight died having jumped out of windows Friday. As many as 50 people sought medical assistance, including ten policemen.
The incident is among a list of violent acts led by covert US-led forces in its drive toward Full Spectrum Dominance, the aim of the Pentagon, in direct opposition to human rights.
Most of those found dead in the trade union building wore insignia attesting to their support for Russia. The US corporate government reports this, however, in a different way:
"The report by the Kremlin-controlled state television channel also said that video from the scene showed most of those subsequently found dead in the trade union building wore insignia attesting to their support for Russia." (LA Times)
Perhaps no interview on the historical situation of the Ukraine, the coup d´etat, snipers and lies in the US corporate government mass media has captured these elements as well as geopolitical analyst William Engdahl did when Cara St. Louis hosted him to speak on these matters.
Engdahl is an award-winning geopolitical analyst and strategic risk consultant whose internationally best-selling books have been translated into thirteen foreign languages. He has lectured as Visiting Professor at Beijing University of Chemical Technology and delivers talks and private seminars around the world on subjects of current importance from economics to oil geopolitics to agribusiness.
A widely discussed analyst of current political and economic developments, his provocative articles and analyses have appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines and well-known international websites. He is a Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization in Montreal and member of the editorial board of Eurasia magazine. Based in Frankfurt, Germany he may be reached via his website www.williamengdahl.com
The real agenda regarding the Ukraine is to force an end to the elected Yanukovich government in Kiev and lock Ukraine into the EU and ultimately, NATO.
Washington's agenda has little to do with 'democracy and freedom.,' It has everything to do with destabilizing Putin's Russia. How Washington is doing this, however, is not being aired on the 6:00 news.
A legitimately-elected Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovich, has been driven from office, forced to flee as a war criminal after months of violent protest and terrorist killings by so-called opposition, according to Engdahl.
His "crime," according to protest leaders, was rejecting EU's offer of a vaguely-defined associate EU membership that offered little to Ukraine in favor of a concrete deal with Russia that gave immediate €15 billion debt relief and a huge reduction in Russian gas import prices.
"Washington at that point went into high gear and the result today is catastrophe," says Engdahl.
Enter the neo-nazis.
"A secretive neo-nazi military organization reported linked to NATO played a decisive role in targeted sniper attacks and violence that led to the collapse of the elected government." Engdahl says.
"Whatever the final truth, clear is that Washington has prepared a new economic rape of Ukraine using its control over the International Monetary Fund (IMF)."
Obama's next move? Sanctions.
Above is the video of Sr. Louis interviewing Engdahl on the background and current events regarding Ukraine, the US and Russia.

Dr. Attar pointed out that the performance of the Saudi economy has improved remarkably to a rate of 8.6 percent in 1996, with the growth rate of the oil sector increasing from 6 percent in 1995 to 17 percent in 1996, and that of the private sector rising from 2.5 percent in 1995 to 3.5 percent in 1996. The balance of payments attained a growth rate of 18.5 percent in 1996, due to the growth of exported oil by 7.2 percent, and of non-oil exports by 2.7 percent.
Dr. Attar concluded by remarking that in addition to the development accomplished within the country, the Kingdom has steadfastly continued to shoulder its Islamic and humanitarian responsibilities.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Steven Cox interviews painter Jeffrey Kessel, whose work is on view at Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York, through December 23, 2012.
Kessel comments: "Despite the unrestrained spontaneity of my studio practice, the paintings can often be fairly tight and structured. It's true; I work intuitively and never plan paintings out in advance. I also work fast, its very physical. I'll wipe out or cover up a painting on a whim. I don't like to tinker. They stay fresh this way, it keeps them from closing in and they have energy because of it. But I wouldn't describe it as expression. Somehow they're more pointed than that, representative of labor and physical materiality... I'm not sure a broad painterly vocabulary is necessarily important in itself. Within a body of work or a single painting the language need not be varied or complex, as long as it's explicit."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.

An Oracle Deck for beginners as well as experienced readers.
The most impressive aspects of this 40-card deck are the images, both front and back, and the messages. I performed more than one quick reading using this oracle and the results were truly amazing.
Dora Caplan suggests using this deck in either a tarot-like spread, or as a one card pull.
The images are vibrant, surrounded by solid borders. The cards are a little on the dark side, but not to the point of being too dark, but a subtle blending of image and background. The cards are made of good card stock, perfect handling size, and shuffle easily.
The guidebook offers a black and white image, a message, and alternate meanings for each card. Listed in alphabetical order, the cards are easy to look up. The messages are as meaningful as the images themselves.
Both artist and author, Dara created a wonderful deck and a connection with Spirit.
This deck presents an easy connection for the newbie, and a new tool for the experienced reader. I highly recommend this deck for use.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans isn't really talking to her estranged husband these days, as she is planning a life with her new boyfriend, Nathan Griffith, and she is expecting her second child. And it sounds like he isn't exactly going on the right path. He was recently released from jail, but it sounds like he is already back to stealing. According to a new Radar Online report published on Feb. 25, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans' estranged husband is now in trouble once again as he stole jewelry and pawned them under his own ID.
He had been staying at a friend's house and he stole from her. Katie McMillan filed a police report with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department in North Carolina and after some investigation, her rings were found at the pawn shop.
"I was trying to help him get into a treatment program and had even talked with a doctor. He was telling me he wanted to get sober and get away from drugs. I figured out he didn't want any help after a few days. In the last text he sent me, he said he was going to pick up his money. That's when he left my house and never came back. I now know he meant going to pawn my stuff," McMillan has revealed, after adding that there is indeed a warrant for his arrest.
Courtland has issued a statement about the arrest. One can imagine that he denies stealing and won't be turning himself in. What do you think about the theft? Do you think Courtland will ever change?

The Marine Conservation Society is leading a campaign to ensure wet wipes go in the bin, not down the loo.
Toilets are designed for the three Ps only: poo, pee and (toilet) paper.
The water industry is continuing to play its part in the delivery of new homes in the UK by maintaining its high standards of services to developers.
Customers who need extra help will, from April, get a more streamlined service from water and energy companies making it easier to get help and stay safe at home.
The Local Government Association has reported today that the cost of removing decayed teeth in children has jumped 61% in the last five years – rising to more than £35 million a year.
One solution to this problem is to encourage tap water as the default choice of hydration for the younger generations, moving them away from unhealthy sugary alternatives.
The average household water and sewerage bill in England and Wales for 2016-17 will be £389 – an increase of £2 (less than 1%) compared with the previous year. The increase is in line with the 5-year plans developed by every water and sewerage company after extensive consultation with customers and confirmed by the industry regulator, Ofwat, in 2014.
The following links change the content below
- Wet wipes turn nasty if you flush them
- Developer Services maintain high standards

- Water: the healthy choice
- Household water and sewerage bills for 2016-17
Water companies are contributing expertise, perspectives and industry research to inform the debate on the future of water, building on developments in the industry so far...
What goes down the sink and the wastepipes matters. Flush and pour the wrong things and we bring sewer flooding and river pollution which costs millions of pounds each year...
Water companies are playing their part in the development of performance standards to help speed up the building of new homes in the UK.
Water is essential to human health but we often take it for granted. Water helps to maintain hydration and allows the body to function effectively.
