The debt crisis in Greece has prompted lawmakers to cut spending again.
The 153-128 austerity vote came Wednesday after rioters demonstrated outside parliament against those cuts.
Protestors clashed with police, who responded with tear gas, stun grenades, and water cannons.
The bill in question cuts €13.5 billion in spending on pensions and salaries and raises taxes over two years.
The measure was passed so Greece could secure more loans and avoid going bankrupt.

Former professional wrestler S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones passed away Sunday on his native island of Antigua, West Indies, from complications related to a stroke he suffered two days earlier. He was 64.
Jones, whose real name was Conrad Efraim, retired several years ago and moved from the Bronx to Antigua with his wife.
Jones was a top "jobber," or preliminary wrestler, during the early days of the WWE's (then known as WWF) national expansion. He also was a mainstay in the old WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation).
Billed as "Philadelphia's favorite son," Jones held several titles early in his career, including the Los Angeles-based Americas tag-team belts with Porkchop Cash and Tom Jones.
Jones worked at a telephone company before turning pro in 1971. He wrestled under the name Roosevelt Jones before settling on "Special Delivery" Jones as his moniker.
Melvin Nelson, who wrestled as Burrhead Jones and is sometimes confused with S.D. Jones, says S.D. appeared as another cousin of Mid-Atlantic star Rufus R. Jones after Nelson left the territory for Kansas City. Rufus R. Jones, whose real name was Buster Lloyd, had left the Carolinas with cousin Nelson to work part-time for the Kansas City promotion, but would occasionally make it back to the Charlotte-based territory to tag with S.D. for special matches against teams such as Gene and Ole Anderson.
S.D. Jones was trained by veteran performer Johnny Rodz and entered WWE in late 1976.
"Through that time, Jones was a competitor who always gave optimum effort in all of his matches. Many of his opponents knew that if they wanted to gain a victory over Jones, they absolutely had to dig deep to earn it," the WWE Web site posted Monday.
Jones was often featured in tag-team matches with "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas, and the two challenged Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito for the WWF tag-team belts on a number of occasions during the early '80s. Jones also teamed with the likes of Andre The Giant and Rocky Johnson.
Jones' last WWE appearance was in 2006 when he inducted longtime friend Atlas into the company's Hall of Fame.
Jones also had the dubious distinction of suffering the quickest loss at Wrestlemania when he lost to King Kong Bundy at the inaugural event in 1985 in an announced nine seconds. That mark was broken last year when Kane pinned Chavo Guerrero in eight seconds at Wrestlemania 25.
Jones retired after 22 years in the ring and took a job as a newspaper driver for the New York Daily News. He retired again in late 2007 and moved back to his native Antigua.
While Jones will be known primarily for putting opponents over and making them look good in the process, he was a solid performer and well-liked inside and outside the ring.
"Finally, S.D. will be looking down at the lights," one longtime follower commented.

'Scotsman' takes cycling to an extreme
"The Flying Scotsman" gets something right few true-life sports movies even notice: Professional athletes can have all the charisma of wet laundry.
When they're not doing what they're put on this earth to do, that is. Tearing around a velodrome on a bicycle, the Scottish racer Graeme Obree was magical. As Jonny Lee Miller ("Trainspotting" ) plays him in Douglas Mackinnon's new film, though, Obree is a bit of a blank page. Lanky and pleasant-looking, yet cursed with wellsprings of sorrow that bedevil his career, he has zero interest in fame. He's a trained greyhound who only sees the track ahead, and when the edges of the frame blur in the film's point-of-view racing shots, it's because for Graeme there isn't anything beyond.
That obsessive self-absorption both shackles "The Flying Scotsman" and serves as its main point of interest. Obree's story isn't well-known outside cycling circles but it's a good one: a "man from nowhere" who rode his home-built bike -- it used ball bearings borrowed from a washing machine -- to the World Hour Record in 1993 and again in 1995 .
Fighting hidebound racing officials who ban his unorthodox bicycles and riding positions (the "egg, " the "superman "), battling depression throughout his career, Obree is one of those curiously fraught figures who regularly pop up in cycling, less colorful for his personality than for the stuff that just keeps happening to him. He's a character in spite of himself.
The movie tells the tale in dutiful fashion, right down to the spinning headlines, but it never solves the mystery of its central figure. We meet Obree as his early road-racing days are in the past, when he's working as a bike messenger; a fellow rider, Malky McGovern (a composite character played by "Lord of the Rings " hobbit Billy Boyd ) becomes a friend and manager as they decide to tackle Francesco Moser's record in the World Hour, a benchmark that had stood for nine years.
The World Hour Record is a straightforward affair: You dress up in a ridiculous streamlined outfit, get on your bicycle, and ride around a wooden indoor track like a maniac. The person who covers the most ground in an hour holds the record. Eddy Merckx , by most accounts the greatest cyclist of all time, said his 1972 record ride was the hardest thing he ever did. "The Flying Scotsman" makes it look like a grueling hell.
Adapted from Obree's 2003 memoir of the same name, the film stops and genuflects at all the critical junctures, and it drops hints that the hero's childhood experiences with bullies both equipped him with a need to outrace the world and crippled him with doubts. Because the three screenwriters never settle on a through-line, though, subsidiary characters like Laura Fraser as Obree's loving wife and Brian Cox as a supportive priest don't come into focus. Steven Berkoff , respected stage actor/director and former "Beverly Hills Cop " villain, sneers through his one-note role as Ernst Hagemann , the official who does his best to quash the upstart.
Miller gives the right performance, though, and his Graeme is always intently listening to something the rest of us never quite hear. It's not the actor's job to make this focused crackpot genius meet us halfway; it's the film's job, and Mackinnon and company don't manage it. Still, if you ride for pleasure or for sport -- or just to get from one place to another -- "Scotsman" is worth seeing.
Anyway, how many bicycling movies are there, let alone ones that know from frame geometry ? "Breaking Away " is probably the champ, followed by "American Flyers, " the hilariously awful Kevin Bacon bike-messenger movie "Quicksilver ," and then we're already into "The Bicycle Thief " and "Pee-wee's Big Adventure ." It's a small pack, and "The Flying Scotsman" rides close to the front by default.

Mark Hamill Was Never Asked To Voice A Star Wars Video Game
You'd think it'd be natural for LucasArts to ask Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, to be part of one of the many Star Wars video games that have been produced over the years. PC Zone recently spoke with the former member of the Force, however, and said it's never happened. Post-Star Wars, Hamill has made a name for himself as a prominent voice...

Awaiting her first public appearance Sunday as Miss Philadelphia 2014 - in the St. Patrick's Day Parade - Diamond Edmonds was still aglow with post-pageant euphoria.
"It's just a feeling of accomplishment," said the 24-year-old teacher and North Philadelphia native who was first runner-up in last year's contest. "I worked hard and then I finally got it."
She won Saturday's competition at the University of the Arts with a crowd-pleasing tap routine to Michael Jackson music.
"She brought the house down," said Mary Kaye Jacono Anthony, co-executive director of the Miss Philadelphia Scholarship Committee and a former Miss Philadelphia.
Edmonds, an alumna of the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, will represent the city in June at the Miss Pennsylvania pageant in Pittsburgh.

After partner opens one or two no-trump, a jump to four diamonds shows at least six hearts and the values for either game or slam. A jump to four hearts promises six or more spades and game-going or slam-going cards. With game-only values, the responder passes when the opener completes the transfer. With a hand worth a slam, the responder bids again, often using Blackwood.

Officials on Monday celebrated the opening of a sophisticated recycling plant in Northeast Philadelphia that will employ over 70 people once fully staffed and process more than 20,000 tons of discarded materials each month.
Houston, Texas-based Waste Management Inc., spent more than $20 million on the, 60,000-square-foot center on the 5200 block of Bleigh Avenue, which serves the City of Philadelphia and other communities, the company said.
The plant has been ramping up its operations since December and is nearly fully staffed, said company spokesman George McGrath. They waited for a day warm enough to mark completion of the facility and got one on Monday, when officials held an outdoor news conference with Mayor Nutter.

Brand Identity
"East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet," quoth an intertitle in Cecil B. DeMille's The Cheat (1915), before the trial for the shooting of a Burmese aristocrat ensconced in Gatsby-land. The 25th Asian American International Film Festival, to its credit, couldn't care less about such distinctions. The fest kicks off with the obliquely topical Bagong Buwan (New Moon), in which beleaguered Muslims in the Philippines, under attack by bandits and the military, vow to preserve their faith by any means necessary. The film shows their peripatetic grief without adequately illustrating the roots of the conflict; it's less a drama than a stultifying cycle of speeches and firefights, with a young Catholic interloper on hand to hammer home the people-are-people message. Screening on closing night is the disquieting Indian feature Maya, a tale of childhood's end so drowsy one is doubly shocked by the harrowing puberty ritual, in which priests rape a girl after first menses.
The Korean entries are Chinese-obsessed this year: Musa the Warrior's 14th-century love triangle finds a general and a slave in a doomed Korean envoy exchanging grimaces over a Ming princess (Crouching Tiger's Zhang Ziyi) they are escorting across the eastern wastes. Crammed with incident and oaths, it nevertheless falls short of epic grandeur. Failan's titular Chinese laundress (Cecilia Cheung) is stranded in modern Korea, submitting to a paper marriage to a veteran gangster (Shiri's Choi Min-Shik). The first half is a grim troll through the Inchon gutterworld; the last, a protracted howl, finally relieved in an amazing conjunction of resurrection and violence.
Failan's achievement makes Fulltime Killer's violence without tears look terminally irrelevant. An actioner of the standard HK male-bonding-enemies variety, its energetic shtick wears thin once the dopey backstory surfacessomething about epileptic attacks at a marksmanship tournament. Speaking of which: Sports fans should skip Japan's Waterboys (SNL's male synchronized swimming skit drained of laughs) and catch Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer, a kicky bit of truth in advertising that might be the perfect cure for lingering World Cup hangovers.
The AAIFF's stateside offerings are more miss than hit: Blue Fire is a hair-raising mix of incredible line readings ("You feel the heat all over your body, don't you?") and the unmotivated lust between lovesick Chinatown dogsbody and thong-wearing tart. The slightly less surly protagonist of Not a Day Goes By (directed by Joe G.M. Chan, the pyrotechnic houseboy in Boogie Nights) gets chased at the start by a well-meaning shopkeeper who wants to give him a free chicken in honor of his late mother; the film's deadpan dialogue is often equally hilarious. Unfortunately, Chan dwells on the sort of identity soul-searching that sounds better on paper.
The ethnocentric festival's best film isn't even by a member of any of the tribes in question. DeMille's The Cheat stars Sessue Hayakawa as Arakau Haka, a wealthy ivory merchant who throws parties for the smart set at his Long Island estate. When Edith (Fannie Ward), wife of a struggling stockbroker, loses her ladies' group charity funds in speculation, she secretly accepts Arakau's financial aidand his one delicate condition. When she tries to stop the liaison, he savagely brands her with his signet. Though the premise of a flesh-marking foreigner is textbook xenophobic, Hayakawa (a University of Chicago graduate) brings a refreshing elegance to the roletails and pocket watch instead of demonic facial hairwhile conveying repressed desire in a style subtle for the silent era. The film is a marvel of narrative economy and indelible scenes: the brutal branding, a silhouetted Arakau slumping down a rice-paper screen, the courtroom surging in outrage after Edith's hysterical revelation. "That means it belongs to me," Arakau explains to Edith, upon first showing her his mark. That the AAIFF can embrace a charged masterpiece like The Cheat is no cheat at all.

Diamond ventures fuel rights risks, NGO says
A British non-governmental organisation has voiced concerns about ventures between Zimbabwean state diamond firms with a Chinese state-owned enterprise and a Hong Kong company. Global Witness says the ventures fuel risks of corruption and violence in the troubled African state.
The joint ventures, Anjin Investments and Mbada Diamonds, own concessions in Zimbabwe's Marange diamond field, the subject of widespread claims of human rights violations under military control. Since it was discovered in 2006, the 60,000 hectare site is regarded as the biggest diamond find in history, sparking a rush of diamond miners, according to media reports.
Hugo Williamson, the managing director of Risk Resolution Group, a British risk consultancy, said: 'Diamonds are a major source of revenue for the [government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe], and given his repression of his country, this must pose major issues. Mugabe has some of his closest allies in Asia, especially China.'
The Zimbabwean military secured the field 'through violent means' in 2008, and small-scale miners were killed and wounded, Global Witness said in a report.
In December, the campaign group pulled out of the international Kimberley Process, a scheme designed to prevent 'blood diamonds' from entering the mainstream market, calling the scheme outdated and a failure, almost nine years after its launch.
'We care about the possibility of corruption and human rights abuses enabled by Zimbabwean diamond sales,' said Nick Donovan, a campaigner for Global Witness.
Anjin is a venture between a Zimbabwean firm called Matt Bronze and China's Anhui Foreign Economic Construction (AFEC), according to a Zimbabwean government document contained in the Global Witness report. Mat Bronze is linked to state-owned Zimbabwe Minerals Development (ZMD). AFEC is a state construction firm.
The venture is equally owned by the Chinese and Zimbabwean parties, Donovan said.
Mbada is 75 per cent owned by ZMD and 25 per cent by a Hong Kong firm called Transfrontier Mining, according to the report. Transfrontier gained the 25 per cent stake in Mbada over the past year, Donovan said, citing corporate documents.
Several senior Zimbabwean military and police officials sit on Anjin's board, including permanent secretary of defence Martin Rushwaya and police commissioner Oliver Chibage, according to Global Witness.
The 2008 Zimbabwean elections saw large-scale violence in which 200 people were killed and 36,000 people displaced from their homes, largely instigated by the military, police and forces linked to Mugabe, said Donovan. 'The main concern is that the diamond trade may fuel violence in Zimbabwe in future. There are worries there will be violence in the next election, probably next year.'
The Global Witness report expresses concerns that Anjin's diamond revenues are non-transparent and raises questions on who the beneficiaries of the diamond sales are.
An employee of AFEC, who refused to be identified, dismissed Global Witness' allegations as 'false foreign reports'.

Whilst Michael Schumacher's comeback has been average at best, his preceding legacy meant that the German champion firmly instated himself as a multiple record breaker.
In the history of Formula 1, never has a competitor demolished the competition on such a frequent and consistent basis, leaving the current crop of leading talent with a mountain to climb if they want to outshine his legendary status.
But are Schumacher's feats completely impossible to overcome? Or have the various rule changes and additions to the calendar made the thought of his impeccable statistics being beaten more achievable?
Here are a few of the 7-time champion's accolades with the drivers that could alternatively claim them.

After living in beautiful Cape Town, our South Africa specialist Annie was looking for a new experience, and where better to head than KwaZulu Natal. Filled with breath-taking scenery, Zulu culture, history and wildlife – KwaZulu Natal is off-the-beaten-track in South African terms and well worth a visit, particularly for return visitors.
Fugitives' Drift is an Imagine favourite for those visiting the historic Anglo-Zulu battlefields of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana. Expert guides recount enthralling tales of overcoming adversity, with charming accommodation and incredible scenery to boot.
Call us on 020 3141 2810 or Enquire now
Encompassing the scenic Drakensberg, historic battlefields, cultural melting pot of Durban, sub-tropical beaches of the Elephant Coast, and a range of big five game reserves, KwaZulu Natal truly has something for everyone. Families can enjoy a safari and beach holiday without travelling vast distances, whilst honeymooners can enjoy activity-filled adventures exploring the Drakensberg.
As with much of South Africa, KwaZulu Natal is often best explored on a self-drive holiday, giving you the freedom to stop off and explore as much as you wish. Distances between points of interest are manageable meaning that it is possible to pack lots in whilst still feeling like you've had a rest.
Driving through the Midlands is reminiscent to us of driving through the rolling hills at home – it is perhaps unsurprising that so many Brits choose to settle here. This is the perfect spot for a night or two after an overnight flight for those wanting to avoid Durban, or a few days following the Midlands Meander route. Near to the town of Howick is the spot where Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, after which followed his 27 year imprisonment.
The Drakensberg Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are one of the biggest attractions of KwaZulu Natal. Bordering the tiny state of Lesotho (a day trip up Sani Pass is possible), this spectacular landscape is best explored on foot, bike or horseback, with the Amphitheatre being one of the most picturesque spots in the region. For those with a keen interest in the arts, this is one of the best spots in the world for rock art; whilst the Drakensberg Boys' Choir's weekly concerts are the hottest ticket in town.
South Africa has such a rich history and the focus in KwaZulu Natal is on the Anglo-Boer and Anglo-Zulu wars of the late 19th and early 20th Century. The Anglo-Boer battlefield at Spioenkop saw both the future president Paul Kruger and future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in action, whilst Ghandi was a non-combatant stretcher-bearer. The Anglo-Zulu battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift (notable for having more Victoria Crosses awarded in one go than there has ever been before or since), as depicted in the epic film Zulu, never fail to move as part of a battlefield tour. Despite what you may think, you don't need to be a history expert to enjoy the battlefields; the tours are conducted by the most engaging of guides, and the scenery is as breath-taking as the rest of the country.
Safari options in KwaZulu Natal range from self-drive options in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, which is one of the most successful sites in South Africa for rhino conservation, to luxury private reserves including Phinda. Whilst not offering the same scale as the Kruger, the convenience of a safari in KwaZulu Natal when combining it with the coast, Drakensberg and Battlefields make it a popular destination.
The warmest waters in South Africa are to be found in KwaZulu Natal. Durban is perfect for those wanting a beach experience but with plenty going on, but for those looking to get off-the-beaten-track and experience high-quality diving, we recommend heading north to the Elephant Coast. Dolphins, turtles and whales abound and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The beaches here are unspoilt and are matched by barefoot luxury properties away from the crowds.

Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Caused By Spinal Meningitis
Q: I suffer a Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss in my left ear. When I was just a baby I got Spinal Meningitis, which nearly killed me and was assumed for the worst. Years later doctors found out I lost part of my hearing, and the illness I suffered burned the cochlear sense hairs. I am now 21 and been wanting a surgery and be able to hear normally for the first time. Is there a surgery that can repair or replace it? I know a Cochlear Implant won't work and I wouldn't want that anyway.
Hearing loss iw a well recognized complication of meningitis. When it occurs. can be quite devastating. There is a surgical procedure which has show potential promise in the treatment of this condition. It is called a Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI). The procedure was originally developed for the treatment of hearing loss associated with a disease called Neurofibromatosis type II (NFII) but has shown to be of benefit in other types of hearing loss including post meningitis hearing loss.
The procedure is not readily available everywhere. In fact, the US Food and Drug Administration has only approved the use of ABI for treatment of NFII hearing loss. However, there are other countries. mainly in Europe, which have approved the ABI for use in other situations, including post meningitis.
The highly technical nature of the procedure requires surgeon with specific expertise in performing such surgery. And of course, is not without risks. Complications may be due anesthesia or directly realtedd to surgery. these include infection, unintentional injury to nearby tissue/organs, excessive bleeding. the procedure should be discussed at length with an experience surgeon to fully understand all that is involved and likely outcome.
Best of luck!

birth plans?
I actually wrote one up the last two times, and then didn't refer to it at all. I didn't really need to because I wasn't asking for anything really outside the "norm" with DS, and YDD was stillborn so that whole thing went right out the window.
I don't think I'm writing one this time. I had planned NCB last time, and now that I'll have to have a medical induction I know that I will want an epidural, so there's really no point to a birth plan.
Have some fucking compassion for the fact that I am facing my biggest fear.
Please help me raise money for my surgery-
So like I say know what you want but be sure to plan for the unexpected. Good Luck!
Fyi my birth plan this time is to just have a c-section.

Yes and i'll be using the tool on here to write it. http://www.babycenter.com/calculators-birthplan
Of course I will go in with an open mind and know that things change and interventions are sometimes necessary.

I think it is good to have one if you have specific goals. I think it is good to talk to your ob about what kind of birth you want so you are both on the same page. The importance of being on the same page can mean a big deal, Because some hospitals or even drs wont honor your wishes or can't.

Not me! My MIL is a nurse on the Ob/Gyn floor and she begged me not to write one last time. Honestly, I was glad I didn't. My water broke at 2 am and we went in, had to be bed ridden because of my water breaking, had to have an iv, my contractions weren't kicking in after a couple hours so I had to have pitocin (HAD to... they weren't just forcing it on me, when time came to actually deliver, meaning doctor was there and everything, my contractions spaced out to probably 8 minutes apart even WITH pitocin), had to have an internal monitor placed, waited to see if I could take the pain and then got an epidural, pushed for 2 hours and finally gave birth. The only part I didn't like was after I gave birth and my baby had to go to the NICU and I couldn't go see him because of the epidural for a couple hours.
Honestly, I think too many people put too much emphasis on their own desires and don't pay attention to the fact that these people are medical professionals who do this every day, multiple times a day. They know what they're doing! It helps that I had a fantastic medical team. My doctor is amazing, my nurses were awesome (of course they all knew my MIL very well and had worked with her lots of times), the NICU people were overall awful but our pediatrician was amazing. Love those people.
I'm not going to write one out. I didn't with my others either.
All I know is that I want to do it as "naturally" as possible, hopefully vaginal. And I don't want to be induced "just because".
Probably going to labor as long as possible at home, if I go into labor naturally (which I'm hoping). I don't want the epidural because they don't work for me, and I don't feel like paying for it if its a peice of crap like the last 2 times.
Pretty simple. Pretty straightforward.
I'm not going to judge others if they do want a written out birthplan. If it's something you want to do, then go for it. Its just not really for me.
You can have as many plans and goals as you want, but things happen that are out of your control, err things MAY happen that are out of your control, so don't get to wrapped up into your birthplan and be super let down if things don't go as planned. This isn't a trip you're planning (like those always go as planned lol). I am not trying to rain on your parade if you do have a birth plan, I am just saying realize that it might not go as planned so you're not crushed later.

Ouch…a tattoo on the inside of your bottom lip sounds painful as all hell. I could never do that.
Kesha got this dollar sign tattoo early in her career. The dollar sign in her name actually came from her tattoo which symbolizes her lack of money at the time.
"The dollar sign in my name is a tattoo–a bad tattoo. And, uh, it just came about because I was broke, and I was just making a joke out of it. Instead of being, like, mad like, 'I'm so broke,' I was just like, 'WHATEVER! Out of money…Whatever. I don't need money.' So, out of money, put it on my hand, put it in my name, and it was just kind of a joke, and it stuck."
She stylized her name as Ke$ha for many years. After she left rehab in March 2014 she turned over a new leaf and dropped the dollar sign from her name because she felt that it represented her old self.
Kesha has an eye tattoo on the palm of her right hand which features prominently in her "Crazy Kids" music video. Its placement is inspired by Middle Eastern hamsa amulets, which are shaped like a hand with an eye in the center. The hamsa is thought to provide protection from the "evil eye" and other evil spirits.
Kesha has a little black dot on her left middle finger that seems to be a tattoo.
Kesha's anchor tattoo on her wrist was her first. "The first tattoo is an anchor I got when I snuck into Cuba when I was 18. I got that because we were hanging out with this guy, and he was like, 'If you give me five dollars, I'll give you a tattoo.' So I'm like, 'All right, fine.' He gave me an anchor tattoo because I'm a diver."
Above the anchor are three dots in a triangular pattern. This is a traditional sailor tattoo which sailors would get on their first voyage.
Kesha got this homemade cross tattoo on her wrist in celebration of completing her first album in 2009. A friend did the tattoo using a safety pin and pen ink.
She told Details "I had just finished my record, so that night we got a little crazy, and we thought it was a really good idea to give each other tattoos to symbolize such a special event in my life. So he gave me a cross. Or one could call it a t. Or an x."
Kesha has a skull and crossbones tattoo on her right forearm.
Kesha has the word "YEAH!" tattooed on the inside of her right foot. A friend gave her this tattoo in 2009 on the night that she finished her debut album.
Kesha has an outline of a heart on the top of her right foot, near her toes.
Kesha got this heart tattoo on the back of her foot in September 2011.
Kesha tattooed the word "FUN" in red ink on her left foot in March 2012. "Woke up this morning feeling fun. New tat!" she tweeted.
Kesha celebrated New Years Day by getting a stick-and-poke smiley face tattoo on January 1st 2014 for a "happy" new year.
Kesha tattooed the word "ANIMAL" on the top of her left foot in July 2013. It is in honor of her fans, whom she calls animals. Animal was the title of her 2010 debut album.
She shared a picture of the tattoo on instagram with the caption "I love my animals. I couldn't sleep because I was so overwhelmed by how amazing you all are to me."
Kesha got a cat face on her left big toe in July 2013 at the same time as her "Animal" tattoo. She is a huge cat lover and has three pet cats — Mr. Peep$, Mr. Fluffy Pant$, and Charlie.
She has also jokingly formed a Cat Cult. "So I've always wanted to have a cult, I think I could be a pretty good cult leader," she told E!. "So I'm going to start a cult and people can be in it if they like to be cats or play with cats or play with cat toys."
Kesha got this letter "C" tattoo on her foot for an appearance on Conan O'Brien's show in August 2014. She wore a dress with his face printed on it for her previous visit, but this time she took it a step further.
"It's for you," she told Conan. "I was so excited to see you last night, I was in a frenzy. I was running around with my cats and I didn't know what to do, and so I tattooed a C on my foot."
She convinced her assistant to get the C tattoo as well. "My assistant, who has no tattoos, she's like the sweetest little angel — I was like 'come here' and I chased her down and gave her one too."
Kesha tattooed "SUCK IT!" on the inside of her lip in June 2012. The inner lip is often used for silly tattoos such as these because it's almost always hidden, but Kesha showed hers off in a photo posted to her twitter.
She got the tattoo as a way of telling off her haters. She revealed to Conan "I was kind of fed up with all the nasty little bloggers and I was like 'you know what, suck it.'"

Yo all u haters need to back off. Its her body let her be her nobody gives a pooabout what u all think. Ke$ha is freaking amazing and of u dont like her why r u all looking her up. Shes my idol and i dont care what any of u peope have to say about that u should all back of cuz its not ur body shes not related to u so back off! Would u like it if somebody told u what to do but if none of u have nothing good to say then dont say anything at all! Because if all you guys have nothing better to do than insult her thats sad and shows everyone that u guys have no life! Shes a legend… So what if she has tattoos they all have aeaning to her they might not to u but its her shes origonal in a awesome way! So stop judging her if u dont like her cuz u only live once and shes having the time of her life! Its her life so stop judgeing her just cuz u dont like it! So yea! Ke$ha u rock! ROCK ON!!
Ke$ha is exactly who she wants to be. She says to always be yourself, unapologetically & to give the finger to the haters.
Her tattoos are on her body. NOT YOURS! Yes tattoos last forever and so will her memories that are attached to them.
It's 2013.. Sorry to tell you but the bible is out of date. People can believe whatever they choose. You cannot tell her (or anyone else on this earth) what to believe in. You can think her tats are a sign of the devil if you wish but I don't think she gives a fuck. She's not telling you how to live your life so don't tell her how to live hers.
Love into the Light. Animals unite <3
Not good pictures of Ke$ha's tats. And too many of the wrist ones.
I think it a stupit tattos nd all dat tattos are belong to a devil.. all i want to say god is a king of Kings,satan has no power he tels lie's nd he have a empty promices
oh, shut the fuck up, you ignorant bible-thumper.
yeah you go!
Your comment is a little confusing because of the grammar and spelling errors but how I interpreted what you are say is that all of HER tattoos are in regards to the devil, and not just tattoos in general? If that is what you're saying then I agree with you. She is like a drone of the illuminati, or as I like to say, killuminati. I also really think she is a reptilian. She's evil.
So true
I think kesha is so cool and her tattoos are amazing I have met her at her concert in la
Ke$ha's freaking awesome and I love her random tattoos!
She got more tattoos recently just look on her twitpics
do you write back too yes or no
I like your tattoo so much . and i like your songes too . your also a number 1 star too.
At least she didn't catch anything from those random homemade tattoos. Especially the one from a guy she just met for $5.00. She's so crazy though, just like her songs. <3 I love them!
lol, they all look like freebies you get at any tattoo shop just for picking a random graphic out of a hat… nothing to see here…
Weak ass tatoes boo y don't u kill ur slvs u dumb dumbs
i think tattoos are so stupid. makes you look like your permanently covered in dirt…
I think you should only get tattoos for memories and stuff like that.
Ummm.. There all in the same place. And there kinda dumb tattoos too. And she got a tattoo from some random guy (if she didn't know him..) for five BUCKS?!? Man i wish REAL tattoos were that cheap. Sucks for me tho..
Kesha is the most random person I have ever seen. Her tattoos are pretty pointless , I mean a tatoo will last on your skin practically forever. Tattos getting with a meaning is something else , thats great if you decide to get a tatoo but atleast it has a bit of a story to it. @Kaysee , I respct that decision about getting your tattoo because of your husband. Her's are just stupid items that might not even have a meaning to them. I dont really like them may I say. But my oppinion is only one right ? (:
Your right. Her tatt on her inner lip is dangerous my aunt did that and got poisoned and died.
If she wants random tattoos, let her. It's not your body, why care so much?
Lol Her tattoos definitely aren't pointless and have a lot more meaning than she is leading on. They are all so obviously connected to the illuminati. If she's trying to hide that she's in it then she isn't doing a very good job.
Wow. Kesha's kind of dumb. Well, i knew that already, but seriously?
i hav a doller sing too
I like the dollar signs. The others are a bit random, but hey, she is random! I respect that she is her own person!
It's okay, but I don't like tattoos.
My tattoos are homemade too. Big whoop. I have an anchor tatted on me too in the same spot as her. But i honestley think mines more, you know, noticable. I got it cuz my husband's in the Navy though. And i got a smiley face tatted on me when i was 14. It's close to where her dollar sign is.
KE$HA is fuckin awesome
I honestly think her tatoos are random, but stupid
I have a homemade tatt. its Kesha's money sign but its fading now I'm gettin it professionally done soon.
I love how random she is, himemade tatooos? She is fucking great, legendary to me.

Skip to comments.Voting for Romney? Where is your line in the sand? (Vanity)
Posted on 04/26/2012 9:18:03 AM PDT by Student0165
I want to ask those who consider themselves conservatives, and are going to vote for Romney because he happens to have an (R) instead of a (D) behind his name on the ballot sheet, where do you draw your personal line in the sand and say "No more"? For stupid people reading this (liberals and DHS type workers), I don't mean violence - I mean not voting for "the lesser of two evils".
Politics is all about power. You will *always* have very powerful opposition that requires skill and unity to defeat.
As you imply, the problem this time was the field of nonRomneys and/or the failure to unite behind one of them. Romney, and whatever elites support him, could have been beat had this not been the case.
>Perhaps, one day, we will learn the true reasons she didnt run...so far.
Not a chance of winning. I had hopes for her. Just like I later had hopes for Perry, Cain, Gingrich...none of them worth a damn. We'd have been better off to settle on less than perfect but still electable and now we're left with "I hope I'm wrong about him".
Well stated... from another "Hound".
I meant that one day she may tell us the true reasons so that we don't have to settle for "to be with my family." Lots of suppositions floating around out there.
No, by whomever you are postulating for the same position in your third party. If you don't have such a person, or the person is not a good one, or you cannot organize for, nominate and elect such a person...
Then you just can't do politics on that scale. You can't do it on a large scale in your third party either. IF you can, you can do it in the GOP, easier.
I agree it would be much easier to have a house party and all agree on each other for the key positions. But then what?
I have to confess, I used to be vehemently opposed to third partyism and advocated for "reforming" the GOP from within. I used to make all the same stupid little unthinking arguments for "choosing the lesser of two evils" that we see people on this thread making. I woke up - they haven't.
My advice would be to just dismiss the "lesser of two evils" people and forge ahead without them. Likely, they'd just be dead weight in any serious movement to advance conservatism anywise. Keep building from the ground up, seeking to replace the GOP and it's establishment. When that happens, people like these on here will rally around once the GOP is visibly sliding, because following, rather than leading, is what these people do.
If you say so. Still, for next time, that's not a straw man argument.
"A: So that we don't have two identically Socialist Parties in the U.S., the Red Socialists and the Blue Socialists, with no essential distinction. "
So, Americans are as you imagine them, not as the votes reveal them to be? That is, Romney won the nomination because the votes were falsified? Or that Republican voters didn't understand that voting for Romney gave them Romney?
And more Obama will be better? A real proven Marxist is better than whatever Romney seems to be today?
There's some real confusing here.
There is a chance --and I have no idea what percent chance-- that a Republican controlled House and Senate would generate less liberal bilge from Milt 'I wanna be admired' Rominy. We know damned certain no such thing will come from Barry the bastard commie as a lame duck tyrant.
You need to do something that you are apparently unwilling to do, you need to realize that voting against allowing the little bastard commie to remain in power with his criminal enterprise is not an endorsement of Milt Rominy or his past record.
Keep building from the ground up
That's what has to be done in either case. After all, that's how the GOP began.
"And I bet you donated a kidney to a homeless vet. What a load."
PS - Jealous much?
But hey, if you really need the exercise, have at it.
Sorry, Bubba! :-)
And it can be done again. That's the whole point.
Shoot, I'm not even asking for some sort of ultra-hard right Constitution Party type to vote for (though that looks like all I've got at present). I'd settle for somebody who's simply a reasonable movement conservative. People talk about not voting for the guy who agrees with you 80% - I WOULD. But that's not an option. I agree with Romney probably on about 10% of what I've seen him do and say over the years. That is NOT good enough.
"Theres some real confusing here."
Correct. It is very confusion these days.

There are people out there who believe Obama has to be stopped, no matter what, and your Kardashian-like thinking is beyond ignorant.
I prefer to think you're a leftist troll. That would be better than if you were someone who actually thinks she's a conservative and that threads like this are helping.
Shove your heart blessing.
Firmly ABO here.
I will gag and vote for Mitt in order to oust the marxist, moslem, America hating islamist and his race-baiting minions from their thrones.
Be gone,Barry, Moochelle, Holder, Axelrod et al, we will vote you out.
I'm with you 100%. I keep in mind that Romney will more than likely look at replacing possibly two Supreme's with Conservative leaning judges during the first 4 years.
But you are on record as advancing the idea of giving obama another four years.
A few freepers have noticed that some of those of you who are pushing for this are pretty new here --- we can only guess at your true agenda.
Rough thread, isn't it? I got some nasty nips on my ankles too.
There are a lot of reasons Romney got where he did and very little of it is to blame on the conservatives who didn't want him. There was only one other credible candidate who didn't look like a newbie up there or look unpresidential, and that was Newt. Everyone else could easily raise doubts in the voters' minds as to whether they would be electable against Obama.
Since there was absolutely nothing intrinsic to Newt that made him seem unelectable, the only way that could be done was by Romney destroying his reputation in a shameless, unforgiving, dishonest and brutal manner. Since Romney had far more money than any other candidate, he was able to spew his lies and very little could be done to counter them by his opposition.
Lastly, the party-run media FOX News, Drudge Report, National Review, Washington Times and many RINO radio shows all received their talking points from the RNC and followed orders. Since conservatives heavily get their news from those outlets, nominating anyone other than Romney was about as hard as electing a non-Communist in China. The betrayal by the conservative media of their core audience is the biggest untold story of this election cycle.
I hope that was a cut-and-paste. Life is finite. Gotta use it wisely.
Sorry, facts are facts...
A conservative Congress will block far more from Obama than they will for Romney. Romney can easily get the "team-playing" Republicans to vote with the Democrats to pass left-leaning legislation, just as Bush Sr. did with his tax hikes, in an effort led by lead Romney surrogate John Sununu.
I'm ABO, there is just far too much at stake this election cycle.
I'm ABO, there is just far too much at stake this election cycle.
The easy way out. I saw Newt as not electable, not really worthy of the office, probably not enough gravitas even for a cabinet position. He's a fine professor I imagine, and a good congressman.
My line in the sand is against another win for
The-Most-High-and-Holy-Emperor-Princess Barry.
I'm no Mitt fan, but if that's what we've got,
he's got my vote.
Never mind the lesser of two evils,
how about offering a starving man a rotten
sandwich or a cyanide pill??
With Mittens we have another chance to make
good to our Founding Fathers and our grandchildren.
You sit this one out, let Barry win, and we're
done. That's the choice we're looking at.
I'll take the rotten sandwich and see you another
four years.
"But you are on record as advancing the idea of giving obama another four years."
RTZ: Now just a minute. That is a blatant false characterization of what she has been advocating. You SOUND Romneybot-like, whether you intend to or not.
"A few freepers have noticed that some of those of you who are pushing for this..."
RTZ: Pushing for what exactly?
" If I was a pure idealist, I may not even have voted for Reagan. He did run deficits, keep social security in its present form, compromise with Tip O'Neil and pass amnesty. But, he was the best to deal with the Soviet Union and the Carter malaise. My ideal candidate now doesn't exist. I didn't hear any candidate supporting the repeal of the 16th and 17th amendments and privatization of social security. But, I am honest enough to acknowledge my ideal candidate would not have won. "
Armando, you sound like 90% of us.
God bless you, brother!!
The line in the sand is sitting in the White House.
That's good to hear because I've remembered how decisions in Reagan's second term eventually cost me my job and career. But I still loved him.
I supported Santorum, but I have no problems voting for Romney in November. I only want one thing—that he'll FIRE every last one of those GD envirowacko zealot b*st*rds at the EPA. Fire them ALL, sanitize the computers, sell them, sell the furniture, sell the building, everything. And if no one wants to buy the building, RAZE it and sell the bare land.
That's all I want, Mitt. Destroy them utterly.
Newt did repeatedly advocate for the privatization of the employee contribution to Social Security in accordance with the Chilean and Galveston models. You must have missed most of the speeches and debates.
Nobody was expecting the "perfect" conservative candidate. That's a complete straw man argument. We were just looking for someone better than Hillary Clinton in a tie, a.k.a. Romney.
Yes. But has he given any indication he intends to do something like that? Newt sorta did. Ron Paul wanted to cut Foreign Aid to zilch; don't know about the EPA. Santorum didn't say anything I can remember about it. You still have hopes that Romney will gut the EPA? Sure hope he does, if he can get elected.
FOFL! And just who is going to prosecute him......Eric Holder? LOL
Nobody, but nobody, would have the guts to prosecute him. And the reason is: fear of all out race riots.
I'd vote for Satan before I voted for Obama, so voting for Romney won't be that much more difficult.
Well said.
Its hilarious to me that the same people who used to scream "RINO!" at me for defending Newt, are now lamenting the demise of his campaign. Conservative insanity never ends. That's why we're screwed.
Please tell me that you do NOT intend to vote for the GREATER of two evils.
Stay classy. I am so grateful I am not as angry as you are, and I am able to grip the concept of critical thinking. Bless your heart.
Please tell me that you do NOT intend to vote for the GREATER of two evils.
You and I share a similar recollection of events.
And I'm sorry you don't care enough about your country to get "angry". I do. Political stupidity angers me. Someone who plays to the audience to get cheap "Atta girls" from the hacks and loons ANGERS me. Someone with the brainpower of lettuce who thinks its fine to sabotage the country and our future because she didn't get their nominee ANGERS me!
PS: the "Bless your heart" thing is really pathetic. Even in Texas they don't do it more than once.
My theory is that many Republicans didn't want to run because as ugly as the races can get they like even less the thought of being a POTUS with :
1) a 6+ Trillion dollar debt, 1.5T$ deficit,
2) Democrats who have a sole mission to destroy them,
3) a base (us) that wants/needs them to get things done that a PoTUS cant do WITHOUT A FILIBUSTER PROOF Senate.
4) Independents that are so clueless they dont even know which party controls the congress half the time.
When asked if he would run by Cavuto, Jim DeMint replied :"Why the hell would I want THAT job?"
People are free to vote Libertarian if that is their flavor of the year or they can vote for Virgil Goode on the Constitution Party or, like me, they can vote for fellow FReeper Tom Hoefling (Eternal Vigilance) particularly after checking his homepage and websites. At least, any of those choices represents a vote for principle and a vote for Romney by any actual conservative is an utterly wasted vote and an encouragement to our enemies in both parties.
After 44 years of voting for each and every GOP POTUS candidate including such utter RINOs as Ford, Bush the Elder, Dole and McCain, I have had it now and forever. If the GOP wants my vote, it can darn well EARN it by nominating conservatives. Otherwise, to hell with them and their lavishly funded serial liars and spineless cretins like Romney.

Comments about Nitro Zero Snowboard Bindings 2016:
purchased these during christmas in july, so i have yet to try them out. they are going on a rome board. the paint could be better but for the price they are not too bad.
Best Uses
Comments about Nitro Zero Snowboard Bindings 2016:
Great all around binding. Not too soft, not too stiff, just right. The Stealth Air base plate has tons of cushioning under your heel, and has just enough "natural roll" side-to-side so it doesn't feel like a 2x4 under your feet like so many other binding do. The straps are super comfortable. And, the toe strap has a cable running through it, so if you accidentally step on it during those crazy cold days, it wont break... and ruin your run, or even worse, your day.

Romantic, sensual, beautiful. How sex is meant to be. Lovemaking. The connection is so intense, even I felt it. Didn't get the regular porn vibe which is a good thing, something different. Absolutely loved it. I definitely want a Caucasian man to do this to me(black female).
So sensual. Love it!!!
The way the camera was positioned at about the 3:10 mark, it looked like she was wearing a sombrero
This is one of the "better" porn video's I've seen!..she actually looks like she's having an "orgasm!"...keep up the great work!...

This reminds me of how my late wife and I used to make love, slow and sensuous. This gal is one of the most beautiful women I have seen on a porn site and the way this guy treated her was perfect, the way a lady wants to be treated, none of that hitting that you see guys like "George" like to do. Would like to see more of this type.
The videos are good.

Good sex is loooong foreplay which only intensifies the moment of penetration. Take notes......take notes. Come and see me baby....let me show you how your pussy works bet you didn't know that it could squirt.
She looked so damn fine. Did she cum?
I know that having sex with your beautiful and desirable body would be great. I wish I knew you in person so I could have that great sex with you.. If you are as great as I think you are, I would like to fill your pussy with pleasure more than once.

In the slaying of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, Mayor Nutter saw a familiar theme that hit home.
"Eighty-five percent of homicide victims in Philadelphia are black," he said Thursday night at a rally in LOVE Park.
"How is it possible that thousands of black people are killed every year and no one says a word?" he asked. "If it's just black people, it doesn't register on the radar screen. Trayvon was assassinated."
Nutter headlined the antiviolence vigil, the third such local event in less than a week since the Feb. 26 slaying. Martin was shot and killed in Sanford, Fla., by a member of a Neighborhood Watch.

Funding Suspended
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on July 10, 2013.
Antivirus, Firewall and other Mobile Security are Not Enough. Take control of your device - Reclaim Your Privacy. Anti-eavesdropping.
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on July 10, 2013.
SnoopWall is an easy-to-use program for your smartphone or tablet that will block cyber intrusion. Alerting users in real-time of dangerous applications and programs, SnoopWall secures high-risk data ports and gives you exclusive control of your device.
For you visual folks, here's the cyber security problem in a nutshell:
But not to worry! This is why we invented SnoopWall.
SnoopWall is perfect for you if any of the following situations apply:
SnoopWall comes with these amazing perks:
But wait...while many of us have smartphones and tablets, not all of us know about bad apps, malware, and cybercrime....
HURRY! These tshirts are limited in quantity and available only on Kickstarter. Upgrade now, or make pledge for the $55 reward and receive everything in the ultimate online privacy pack PLUS the "Don't Spy on Me" tshirt in your choice of black or white, in sizes XS-XXL.
Cybercriminals have figured out clever ways to hack into their victims' devices. They gain access to personal information by hacking into these devices and data ports:
You mean, I can be spied on through my webcam, and wouldn't even know it?
Cybercriminals can also listen in to your phone calls and take screenshots of your browser, capturing all kinds of valuable personal information.
But that's why I have antivirus software to protect me..right?
Well, not exactly. Even the best antivirus software only catches 80% of malware. On top of that, it can only detect known threats─ meaning that you and your personal information are vulnerable to every unknown threat.
Antivirus software can't block remote access to your device either, putting you at risk for privacy invasion, identity theft, and financial loss.
I see...and what about my firewall?
Firewalls also have limited protection capabilities. Once you click that you trust an infected program or application, it's too late.
SnoopWall will protect your high-risk data ports so that cybercriminals can't spy, snoop, or steal.
As a start-up, our small team has limited resources and funds to propel SnoopWall into the cyber security spotlight. Your support kick starts our project in a few ways:
Product Development: We're working hard to get SnoopWall on every platform─but to prevent any delays and get to the finish line quicker, we need your help.
User Feedback: Your feedback means a lot to us and will be used to make tweaks to the program.
Education and Spreading the Word: We've been so focused on developing the product, that we don't have much of an advertising budget. We need you to educate your friends and family on the limitations of antivirus software, and share your new-found love for SnoopWall!
Antivirus solutions focus on files, payload, and signatures of malware. Firewalls focus on traffic patterns, network ports, looking at packets and payload.
We chose a completely unique and patent-pending approach to helping augment these older technologies and solve the new problem of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day (0day) malware.
SnoopWall can keep up with today and next-generation malware because we don't focus on the files, the file signatures, the packets or the payload. We focus on all the data-leakage hardware device ports that are being 'tapped' into by malware.
Technically speaking, SnoopWall takes control of all of the following hardware device ports and related storage areas:
Keyboard, USB, Infrared, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), Wireless, LAN, Microphone, Webcam, Flash/Storage, Phone, SMS and Contacts
By controlling all of these data-leakage areas, SnoopWall helps end-users manage their devices and safeguard their data.
Example: Let's say there's an app called "CameraFun" that allows you to take cool pictures and make photo collages. Intrigued by the positive ratings, you purchase the app on the Play store.
If "CameraFun" is just meant for taking pictures, should it have internet access over Wireless or LAN? Should it have access to your microphone? Should it be allowed to read your contact lists? Of course not! It should only have access to your webcam.
With SnoopWall, if you were to download "CameraFun," you would get a warning that the app wanted to access more than just your camera.
You'd then have the option to either: A) Stop the app from accessing any of your data-ports or, B) Allow "CameraFun" to access just your webcam
Giving "CameraFun" access to only your webcam would still allow you to take fun photos--the app just wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on your communications through your microphone or share your contacts list with a third party.
SnoopWall's key focus is to manage these high risk device-ports and related storage areas while also informing you of which applications are trying to gain access to them. In addition, it will block them from running completely or only block them from gaining access to those device ports and storage areas you don't want them to have access to.
Again, for you visual folks, here's another way to explain the details:
I'm Gary Miliefsky and I've worked in the information security field for years. You can find me on LinkedIn here, or look through my full biography under the contact me information at the top of the page.
Meet the Developers...
Brian Smith: Check out Brian's background here.
Bruce Cichowlas: Find Bruce on LinkedIn here.
The good news is that there's never been a product like SnoopWall. The bad news is that...well, there's never been a product like SnoopWall.
SnoopWall is a new concept in cyber security, so the biggest challenge we're faced with is explaining to folks why their antivirus software and firewalls aren't enough. With your feedback and encouragement, we'll be better equipped to tone down the "geek speak" and explain the concept to everyone.
We don't anticipate any bumps in the road for our Android and Windows version (especially with your help!), but we have a plan in place in case we do. Our primary goal is to deliver the best product for our early Kickstarter supporters, and with success, continue to develop SnoopWall on other platforms.

Dragon Quest VIII
You can now actually see your characters in battles.
U.S. roleplayers weaned on angsty fare like Final Fantasy VII might be a tad surprised, though: Beneath the modern trappings of 3D visuals and professional voice work, DQ8 still exudes a specific brand of innocence and purity that's not accidental. "If you play a really dark RPG with moody visuals, then the player himself will have a dark heart," explains Horii. "To have a bright and lighthearted world and still be able to tell a satisfying story is really much easier on the user."
Nearest known relative: If you can stomach the chunky graphics and endure the challenging 100-hour-plus adventure, Dragon Warrior VII (PS1) will show you just how phenomenally deep role-playing games can get.
Chances of survival: Excellent. With no new Final Fantasy until next year, RPG-starved PS2 owners should take a chance on this epic.
