Hi Shabana, Fashion jewellery is of two types. One is the "Costume Jewellery" which is made by non precious material for fashion use or to match clothes; and the second is "Imitation Jewellery", which is called "fashion jewellery" in regular parlance, but it is usually an imitation of real jewellery designs. Which category are you interested in?

Twice as much is almost always better ! :4ngie:
I've found in cases like this, the SEARCH button is always your best friend.

Welcome to E46Fanatics,
Good luck.
Lol yeah, the shark injector is advertising a 7 hp gain and AA is advertising 15.. And im readin! Thanks!!
Would help to have a bit more information, like mods and your end goal.
So far all I have is a catback exhaust and dinan cai, I plan on doing headers and cams before a tune and right before bimmerfest I want it s/c. But as for now I just dont want the headers and such throwing codes because of my cats
I honestly cant make up my mind on that lol, which would u do for an m56??

Forex: EUR/CHF broke below the 14-month triangle - ACM
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Euro decline from 1.5140 high on Monday has extended during Asian session with a sharp drop through 1.5000 long-term resistance, breaking below the 14-month triangle formation, as Peter Rosenstreich, technical analyst at ACM - Advanced Currency Markets, observes.
Daily closing below the mentioned figure could trigger downtrend to 1.3550, according to Rosenstreich: EURCHF has been forming an enormous symmetrical triangle formation for the past 14 months, and chart-followers will be rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect that this move has provided the daily closing break lower that signals an even more significant move lower down towards 1.3550 levels.
Nevertheless, regarding the Swiss Franc, Rosesnstreich advices caution as the SNB could intervene the pair and bring the CHF higher: Policy-makers have always been careful to avoid setting a target exchange rate for EURCHF, and we could very easily envision a scenario where the SNB steps in at slightly lower levels, but intervenes with the same characteristic aggression as before.

For people who are really starting to feel the effect of aging on their bodies, it can be difficult to sustain the same type of lifestyle as you have become accustomed to. Memory loss, decreased sex drive, and menopause symptoms can really affect your overall quality of life. Luckily there are options available to help combat these issues and one of the most popular is a treatment known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Hormone Replacement Therapy involves taking small doses of hormones in order to increase the quality of life for aging adults. The main hormones involved include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (for men). As you get older, your hormones no longer circulate at the same rate causing discomfort and a wide array of possible negative effects such as dementia.
Hormone replacement therapy is most commonly used by women going through menopause. During the earlier stages in life, estrogen and progesterone are produced naturally by women by the ovaries. Once you start going through menopause however, that production eventually stops. Menopause can cause drastic changes in the life of women such as hot flashes, osteoporosis as a result of bone loss, and vaginal dryness to name a few.
In order to minimize these effects, many doctors in the U.S. recommend Hormone replacement therapy in order to make up for the estrogen and progesterone that women lose through the aging process and menopause. It's important to note that hormone replacement therapy does not completely stop all effects of menopause as it is a natural process that all women experience. However, HRT has been proven to decrease the health risks involved with menopause such as heart disease, strokes, and bone loss.
Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Right for You?
While HRT is a great option for many women (millions of patients use HRT), it is not necessarily the best option or necessary for everyone. The symptoms of menopause can be discomforting for some people, not all women experience bothersome issues. For these women, HRT probably would not be necessary as they could continue going on living a normal life with minimal changes. If you're experiencing minimal symptoms or discomfort as a result of menopause, there are other less affective alternatives to hormone replacement therapy that might better suit your needs. Some non-hormonal options available include bellergal which helps aid against hot flashes, raloxifene to fight osteoporosis, and over the counter pain relievers to lessen any pain or discomfort. It is best to consult your doctor to see what the best option is for you.
Another option that you may have heard of to help fight the symptoms of menopause is soy. Some people believe a diet rich in soy can help to lower cholesterol, decrease hot flashes, and help fight osteoporosis. However, there hasn't been any definitive evidence to back these claims and in fact some studies have shown that women who intake higher amounts of soy are more susceptible to certain cancers.
Usually, women experiencing more severe symptoms such as hot flashes and have heart issues can benefit greatly from HRT. HRT is also a viable option for women who experience menopause earlier on in life. By beginning your hormone replacement therapy, you will decrease the chance of experiencing onset osteoporosis and reduce the chances of developing certain cancers and heart issues later on in life. Also, for younger women who never fully developed through puberty, HRT can help them to develop more.
How HRT is taken
Human replacement therapy is available in several forms. This gives you the option to choose a method that you feel most comfortable with. Below are choices you have for receiving your hormone replacement therapy.
Orally with tablets: For oral tablets, patients typically consume the estrogen in cycles of 28 days. Some of these tablets have progesterone included in the formula as well or it must be taken separately. During these cycles, it's typical for women to experience vaginal bleeding much like a monthly period. The bleeding typically takes placed towards the end of the cycle. If you experience heavy bleeding consult your doctor.
Patches: Your HRT may also come in the form of little adhesive patches that are typically worn on the thigh. They contain either just estrogen or a combination of estrogen and progestin that periodically release safe levels of the hormones into the skin similar to how nicotine patches work. You just must remember to change these patches according to the directions to ensure a steady flow of hormones.
Implants: Hormonal implants are small pellets that are implanted under the skin usually in the buttocks or abdominal area. The upside to implants is that they can last from 4-8 months so you don't have to constantly remember to take pills or apply gels. However, women typically do have to take estrogen tablets for the first couple of weeks of receiving the implant.
Creams and Gels: There are many estrogen creams and gels available today. Estrogen gel is applied directly to the skin and is usually one of the easiest methods to perform your HRT. The creams are applied vaginally and help reduce vaginal dryness and travels throughout the blood stream. The downside of gels and creams is that they do not fight against osteoporosis.

Orange Buttered Rum Cake
Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 350ºF. Grease and flour a wreath cake pan.
To make the cake, over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the milk, rum and orange oil and stir to mix; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat each addition until just incorporated, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula, spread the batter so the sides are slightly higher than the center. Bake until the center of the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool upright in the pan for about 15 minutes.
Tap the pan gently on a work surface to loosen the cake. Set the rack over a sheet of waxed paper, invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Serves 16.

Vint Cerf Stories July 16, 2014
Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf discusses the fate of the Internet w/ Stephen Colbert (Video)
Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist and general co-father of the Internet, stopped by The Colbert Report on Comedy Central to discuss the origins of the Web as well as where Cerf sees the Internet going forward.
During the conversation, Cerf noted that "about 3 billion people are online right now," a number which is unimaginably larger than what the Internet was intended for when it was being developed for the military and academia, and Cerf says we have another 4 billion people to go with expanding online access.
While Colbert comically recommended dropping free AOL CD's to developing countries to promote the Internet around the world, Cerf pointed seriously to the role of the smartphone in spreading Internet access to third world countries. expand full story

Vint Cerf Stories March 5, 2013
Vint Cerf, "father of the internet" and Google's chief internet evangelist, is speaking out about Google's decision to push users toward using their real names across services. In a recent interview with Reuters, the Google executive said the initiative to get users using their real names across profiles on various services such as Google+ and YouTube has "sparked intense debate" at the company:
Over the past year, the company has strongly encouraged users to merge their accounts on YouTube, Gmail and other Google properties into a single Google+ identity, the company's social network offering that asks users to use the "common name" they are known by in the real world.
"Using real names is useful," Cerf said. "But I don't think it should be forced on people, and I don't think we do."
Vint said not using real names is "perfectly reasonable" in certain situations, especially in countries with governments seeking to ban anonymity: expand full story
Vint Cerf Stories December 3, 2012
Father of the Internet and Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf took to the company's Public Policy Blog today to urge people to join the freeandopenweb.com petition hours before a closed-door meeting with governments and the International Telecommunication Union in Dubai. Google launched the Free and Open Web campaign in response to what it called the ITU and governments attempts to "further regulate the internet." As noted by Cerf in the post, the ITU is holding a conference in Dubai from Dec. 3 to Dec. 14 that would "revise a decades-old treaty, in which only governments have a vote." Late last week, Cerf outlined some of the topics rumored to be discussed at the meetings:
Some of these governments are trying to use a closed-door meeting of The International Telecommunication Union that opens on December 3 in Dubai to further their repressive agendas. Accustomed to media control, these governments fear losing it to the open internet. They worry about the spread of unwanted ideas. They are angry that people might use the internet to criticize their governments. expand full story

So beware.... don't let it get too very low on gas... as your car might just quit and not know why cuz your dash might show plenty of gas. Always have the tow truck add a bit of gas first if the gauge is below 1/5 of a tank as it may get you out of having to pay for a rental and the agrivation of a "fluke" bad part ... cheers Kevin.
Wondering if I have the same problem. I have horrible mileage, at least thats what I think. However when my car shows 15 km to empty I can only squeeze 39 litres into it. I think my guage may be off. Its at the dealer now

Oh look another non story. Where can I find a story on the awesome soup kitchen they have to feed the homeless? Where can I read about the huge foodbank to help feed the hungry or needy? Where can I read about the fabulous hospital they just built with all of the state of the art technology and and research for bloodless surgery? Why is it we only hear about a JW going to jail for a crime or the next convention or new kingdom hall? What's next the obituaries? Oh they already do that!

The only people who clean the building before their Bible Assemblies or Conventions are Jehovah's witnesses.
It is a fact they leave it cleaner than when they first entered the building. That shouldn't be a newsworthy article, it's just that some people find it hard to believe.

Let me see if I can find a story where someone was killed across the street from a Kingdom hall.
Or that a guy acused of murder once had a chat with a Witness several years ago.
Is that more to your liking?

Or, could it be that the JWs make sure that they notify the local media so that they will be assured of coverage?

Or it could be that, in todays bleak economy, having a convention center rented out for two "three day weekends" is a pretty substantial income for someone.
Many of those will be staying in hotels which further dump some much needed funds into the local economy and the newpaper possibly found that to be news worthy...
Nevermind... Just continue to think the worst.
#6 Jun 11, 2010
Why doesn't the society have a much needed fund for the the friends who go through much financial hardship to attend those conventions?.....Accomadations , travel, and food expenses. A kind of general fund for the neediest of families?.
I have known some of the friends who found it to be quite difficult to attend those faraway conventions. Although in all fairness, i will say that the society is trying to rectify the longstanding problem by building additional assembely halls. However, the problem still exists in a number of places. Faraway conventions are still a reality for a number of the publishers.
The society surely has the financial means to set up some sort of limited special fund.
#7 Jun 11, 2010
And how many times do Jehovah's Witnesses on this site, sit here and lie through their teeth, that the reason nobody knows about the charity that Jehovah's Witness do, is because they do not go to the media about it.
You are correct, this is a non story.
Lets see them building a home like Habitat for Humanity, or raising funds for starving children.
But every time they build a cult hall (never a home for the needy) and save a wealthy corporation (the wBTS) millions, or have a convention and try to sucker in some more schmucks and their accompanying cash and assets, yup straight to the press they go!
The only time Jehovah's Witnesses actually make the news with a legitimate news story is when they are committing heinous crimes, like eating their babies' brains, or kidnapping a young innocent girl and keeping her a sexual prisoner for 18 years, or an elder that kills his wife in cold blood in front of their infant son, and the JW congregation support the murdering elder NOT their supposed "sister" who was an innocent victim.
#8 Jun 11, 2010
My brainwashed parents put our home up for the "needy".
My father had been recently been duped by an elder into leaving his job and working for the elder. SHOCK, it was a scam, my father for the first time in his life did not have a job, the economy was in the toilet (kind of like now), and we who had never taken aid, had to go on food stamps.
Guess who we put up in our home? A family that flew in on their private plane!
Yup, and they sucked us dry.
Ate our food and actually teased my father about being out of work.
You know, pressure to be good to your fellow brothers (them), but never once did they do something nice for us.
I was expected to babysit their young children, so they could have "christian association".
My parents never put up our home again, and why they stayed in the cult just shows how broken they were, and how genuinely evil most men of this cult are.

right on, like billy graham, the pope & all the others do to get coverage they need. ride on
United States
#10 Jun 14, 2010
So I guess reporter (who is an obviousJW) is admitting the Jehovah's Witnesses blatantly lie about not going to the media to brag.
There is never a single news story about the good charitable works that JWs or the WBTS do, because they don't do any, not because they do not go to the media.
Gee, Billy Graham and the Pope are parts of religious organizations that do many, many charitable works.
I can see the obvious difference "reporter"!
#11 Jun 14, 2010
spoken like a charitable (person). where would the world be without you?
#12 Jun 14, 2010
how did these people get hungry, lose jobs, become homeless? ask a veteran or a victim of the system that makes life for many that way. how did many of the "third world" countries get that way? ask a haitian or nigerian; there are things such as oil that greedy people want, so they are exploited & lied to. look where they are now .

Awww....come on now folks.....isn't the real reason that the JWs ENJOY the press and boast about how they "clean up" the arenas THEY are going to meet in....
goes to offset all the negative publicity and feelings of pure annoyance towards them when they are knocking on doors and pestering people?

I agree so why don't you vote? Instead you do NOTHING! Your cult does nothing!
#16 Jun 15, 2010
i NEVER voted. why is it when they are voted into office, the people start complaining about how they dont keep their promises, even the ones who voted for the one in office? do you actually think voting will make the world a better place, since when? where are all these improvements that i dont see? prov 29:2, king james: "when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn". also 1 john 5:19. hey, if you want to vote in whatever cult you are in, be my guest, but be sure you cross your fingers when you are in the voting booth! ps: if you agree with my post, why havent all the other others changed things for the better? which party do you recommend, or should i vote with my conscience & not?
#17 Jun 15, 2010
so, when they come to your door, do you commend them for keeping the places they rent clean?

#18 Jun 15, 2010
Again all talk and a big do nothing you're a joke!

No, I tell them that I don't read apostate literature and send them on their way.
#20 Jun 15, 2010
boo ho. go play in your soup kitchen before you vote. you STILL didnt explain why i should vote, or cant you?

I am 51 and I just had a breast reduction surgery (14 Oct). I'm planning to get a Tummy Tuck w/ Muscle repair. My doc says I can do the TT/MR as soon as the breasts are all healed, approx 3 months after. My breasts are doing great, only have two very small openings at the t-sections. All the rest of the incisions are closed and nice and flat. My question: Is 3 months enough time between surgeries?
How long should I wait after my breast reduction to do my Tummy Tuck w/ Muscle Repair?
Doctor Answers 8
Tummy Tuck likely okay 3 months after well healed breast reduction
Thank you for your question. As long as your breasts have healed well and you feel totally recovered from your surgery 3 months is likely an acceptable time to have a Tummy Tuck.
Web reference: http://drseckel.com/boston-tummy-tuck/boston-tummy-tuck-how-to-decide-if-you-need-an-abdominoplasty/
Ready for TT
Hi HappySuzy. 3 months is plenty of time, especially since you seem to be doing so well at this time.
Time Between Surgeries #plasticsurgeryscottsdale
This is a personal issue for the surgeon. I would say you could have it done a few weeks after the breast surgery if things are healing well. You did elude to some wound problems and maybe that is why your surgeon wants to wait.
You might also like...
Timing Between Surgeries?
Most plastic surgeons would feel that 3 months is an adequate conservative time to wait before undergoing the tummy tuck. Some would feel comfortable waiting a shorter period of time beteen the surgical procedures. Safety should always be the main concern.
Robert Singer, MD FACS
La Jolla, California
Yes 3 months
3 months is a nice conservative time to wait. Your doctor wants the best for you and this should decrease your complication rate. Good Luck!
How long should I wait after my breast reduction to do my Tummy Tuck w/ Muscle Repair?
Thank you for your question. In most cases we have carried out the two operations in one sitting. Some researchers feels there is increased risk of complications, but fortunately this has not been our experience. However, if you already have had your breast reduction, the 3 months that they have told you is really arbitrary. You should have your TT when your breasts are completely healed, especially the open T-junctions which will close quite rapidly with proper care. Best of luck.
Second operation
At this point I would wait for three months to elapse but this opinion could differ by surgeon and upon your medical conditions.
Web reference: http://www.christopherdavidsonmd.com/boston-tummy-tuck.html
Timing of tummy tuck
Yes your PS is correct. In general approx 3 month is usually adequate, though the breast reduction wounds will need to be well healed and closed.
good luck

The function of proteins – the workhorses of our bodies – depends on how those proteins are physically folded. Researchers around the world are examining the countless complex structures of proteins to learn more about therapies for the human body. Protein folding has been compared in complexity to the folding of delicate origami.
This folding process is more complicated than previously realized, according to University of Washington researchers. Imagine trying to fold a delicate origami crane from silk paper — while you're in a wind tunnel. In fact, imagine trying to fold the origami in a wind tunnel while countless other hands are also pulling at the paper. And yet, that's comparable in complexity to what the hundreds of thousands of cells and proteins are doing in your body right now.
That's because proteins and cells are locked together at numerous contact points. The movement of a cell stretches the proteins around it, and vice versa. A new UW study says scientists are going to have to study how protein structures change when stretched before they understand how the body functions.
"The function of a protein is tightly controlled by its structure, yet there is very little information about how mechanical forces may change the structure of proteins," says Dr. Viola Vogel, director of the University of Washington's Center for Nanotechnology in the Department of Bioengineering. "Right now, it feels like we are only looking at part of the equation of how proteins work since we just know their equilibrium structures. If you do not know how mechanical forces change the function of cells and proteins, you will not understand different diseases that involve mechanical forces, such as hypertension."
Vogel is one of the authors of the first paper to show, at atomic resolution, how mechanical forces change the structure of a family of protein modules that fold into the same structures -- yet have less than 20 percent of their amino acids in common. "Comparison of the early stages of forced unfolding for fibronectin type III modules" appears in the May 1 Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, a journal of the National Academy of Sciences.
Fibronectin is a useful protein for studying the effects of mechanical force. Fibronectin is found in connective tissue, such as the skin. In the skin, cells are suspended in the extracellular matrix — consisting of thousands of protein fibers that attach to cells at numerous points. These proteins connect with other proteins and hold the mass together – a sort of super glue for cells. It is the movement of these fibers and the resulting pull and push on the cells attached to them, that transmits force to the cells.
Vogel and colleagues ask these questions: What does force do to the fiber? How is force transmitted from the fiber to the cell? And how is force used to determine how the cell regulates the expression of certain proteins? "We are very excited about this because we believe a new field is being born: non-equilibrium protein structure-function analysis. It's very exciting to think about how nature regulates and controls function. We went from viewing the cell as a bag full of proteins a decade ago to a view of the cell as a dynamic place where proteins assemble and change under mechanical forces," Vogel says.
This new field became possible only in 1997, with the technology that allowed researchers to see what happens when you grab either end of a protein and stretch, using tools such as atomic-force microscopy. They found that proteins rupture as stretching forces overcome energy barriers that stabilize the protein structure.
"Computer simulations allow us to see what happens to the structure if the protein ruptures," Vogel says. The computer simulations were done in collaboration with Dr. Klaus Schulten at the Beckman Institute in Illinois and former UW graduate student Andre Krammer. "People tend to think of protein function as biochemical – chemicals binding to the protein, for example. Only recently have people realized that mechanical tension – cells pulling on the matrix – is important," says David Craig, a graduate bioengineering student and another of the paper's authors.
Vogel's lab is examining how mechanical force must be considered in the field of proteomics. "In proteomics, you go from the genome, then to the protein structure, and from that, make a prediction about the protein's function. But is that enough? Is it sufficient to only know the function in the equilibrium state?," Vogel says. "We think there are a series of proteins that may have different structures, depending on how much force is applied and how it is applied. If that is so, then it adds additional dimension to the field of proteomics."

The Government's deficit shrank to $4.4 billion in the year to June, the smallest it has been for four years and $1.9 billion better than forecast in the May Budget.
Finance Minister Bill English said the results validated the Government's fiscal approach of get the public sector to do more for less, while protecting the most vulnerable.
Tax took a bigger bite, measured against the size of the economy. At 26.7 per cent of gross domestic product it was up from 26.4 per cent the year before and the highest it has been for four years, while core Crown expenses at 33.1 per cent of GDP were flat on the previous year and the lowest they have been, relative to GDP, since 2008.
The $4.4 billion Obegal deficit - down from $9.2 billion in 2011-12 and $18.4 billion in the quake-hit year before - does not include $11.3 billion in valuation gains, which lifted the operating balance to a surplus of $6.9 billion, $5 billion above Budget forecasts.
Those gains include a $6.2 billion increase in the assets of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund and ACC, reflecting a good year in equity markets, and the impact of higher interest rates on the actuarial valuation of the liabilities of ACC and the Government Superannuation Fund which pays public servants' pensions.
Net debt continued to grow but more slowly.
The cash deficit was $5.7 billion, $4.9 billion less than the previous year. The $1.7 billion proceeds from the sell-down of Mighty River Power helped.
But it was still enough to push net debt to $55.8 billion or 26.3 per cent of GDP.
The Government expects to be running a cash surplus again by 2017-18 but then to give priority to paying down debt to 20 per cent of GDP rather than resume contributions to the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, which is not scheduled to happen until 2020-21.
New Zealand Government debt is not high by developed country standards and demographic pressure on the cost of super - up 6.8 per cent to $10.2 billion in the latest year - is one of the largest challenges to the long-term fiscal position.
But English yesterday justified putting a higher priority on debt repayment than building up the NZ Super Fund on the grounds that it would give future governments more flexibility to respond to another economic shock.
"Debt has run up rapidly and we need to get New Zealand back into a position where we can run up debt again if we need to," he said.
"The consequences of too much government debt are all too clear in Europe and the United States, where we have seen cuts to public services and pensions, and higher taxes."
In 2008 we had the combination of a rapidly rising housing market, fast-rising household debt and international financial markets which were disrupted, he said.
With factors such as a rising housing market it was important to mitigate that kind of risk as much as possible.

Piers Morgan gets schooled, alright!!
Video: Alex Jones Gives Piers Morgan History Lesson On Dictators And Gun Confiscation
This guy Piers Morgan is beyond learning anything,only his opinion counts same as the rest of the COMMIE libs
Someone should tell Morgan he's wrong in his "facts". First, since firearms are BANNED in England, should the murder by firearm be ZERO (0)?? Just ignore the FACT that England has the HIGHEST VIOLENT CRIME rate of ALL civilized countries. But they can't be right? They banned firearms…
Now to correct Morgan's "facts". In the Colorado theater shooting, the rifle was NOT the predominate weapon. 5 shots were fired before the rifle JAMMED. Therefore the "firearm of choice" was the Glock. Also, a rifle was NOT used in the murder of 20 children in CT. There was one "found" in the trunk of a car, but NOT used. Even the ambush of firemen was a staged attack. Wasn't a rifle used in the mall shooting either. Morgan failed to mention an ARMED INDIVIDUAL was what stopped that attack. The rifle that was found with the framed man was unfired.
It also was NOT the biggest single shooting in American history. Even the murders at Waco by our own government was bigger.
I understand why Alex Jones is so mad. How DARE a redcoat come and try to trample on OUR Constitution. The document MANY Americans bled and died kicking his blimey ass out of our country for!
Just TRY to pry my gun from my cold dead hands Pelosi! Even THEN I'll get you!
That is the trouble these so called liberal gun people don't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to the truth about weapons.Does Piers(his mother must have been a wino to name him after a place where ships dock) and his liberal friends know the difference concerning guns.Seeks email the idiot and tell him how dumb he really is.How in hell did this scumbag get into this country anyway..
I have, many times. Tweeted him too. Told him LEARN the FACTS. Can't seem to get an answer from him. The same for O'Reilly.
To people like this, facts are what you make them.
Then again, these brain dead liberals believe there are only 4 – 4.5 million firearm owners in America. Won't THEY be surprised!
And who are you for him to Tweet you? Twit
Nice you signed your comment.
So Twit,
And who are YOU to demand an answer from ME. You're nothing but a twat.
This country gave this dickhead protection from prodsecution in england lte us ban togethrer and demand he be sent to Russia,China VenezuelaCuba or any raghead country.I'm proud of the way Alex handled this limey prick.If it was me they'd have to be pulling me off him while I kicked his limey ass the way washington did at Yorktown.
Don't forget there is precedence to kick his smeg, todger lovin, arse all the way back to that pop off they call home!
As Taranto told Morgan: "Your opinion is protected, your presence in the U.S. is not. See Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972),"
Was the theater shooting the largest mass shooting in our history? Hmm…nope. Need we go back to the Revolutionary war again to be reminded? You want mass shootings, let's take the British soldiers lining up hundreds of Americans and shooting them; men, women, children alike. As tragic as those recent shootings were, they're nothing compared to what was lost during the Revolution. Oh, but that was a time of war you say? Hey, he asked for mass shootings, I don't see any rules posted somewhere that define the boundaries. I'm free to include what ever example I choose. But, I'll cut to the chase of the over all debate: criminalize gun ownership and only criminals will have guns. They'll have the better ones too. While the common citizen has to have a basic firearm, has to register it, has to buy basic munitions for it, and has to get a lock on it that takes time to unlock before use, the criminal bypasses all of that via-black market. No background checks, no registration, no locks, and no limitations. If the bad guys want a full automatic with explosive tipped rounds, they're going to get 'em. The citizen with the piddly pea-shooter is easy prey to a man with full body armor and a long gun with a scope. Diane Beerstien figures she's putting in place more protective barriers with her law, when in fact it lowers other barriers that had existed before. If she's gunned down by a criminal, guess what, he didn't care about her law. That's why he's a criminal. He went out of his way to break the law. Oh! But, it isn't about protection, is it? Oh no. It never is about protecting the citizens. It's about power. Diane Fineyourstien and her friends just want power. Unlimited power.

Lost is back and apparently they're tying up all the loose ends mystical plotlines and the meaning of those damn polar bears or the black smoke! Thank god because I really didn't have a clue what was going on. If you missed season three or you saw it and you're still confused then srsly you guys you could do with a recap. More importantly though, to get into the spirit of things you'll need to dress like your favourite Lost character. They're all there, Ben, Sayid, Locke, Jake, Hurley, and Charlie (hasn't he come a long way since Hetty Wainthropp?!). My favourite Lost character is Locke so I guess I'll be shaving my head, grabbing a weapon and donning some wilderness gear!

Monlau are considered one of the leading European race teams.
Remy will also compete in the Motorcycle Road Racing Development Association (MRRDA) Championship, as well as continuing local, state and national dirt track and longtrack racing this season.

South African Red Square Kawasaki ZX10 Masters Cup
All riders ride basically bog standard superbikes, using the same Bridgestone tyres, and engines are sealed. The exhaust system is original, although it may be gutted, aftermarket fibreglass fairings may be used to keep costs down if the riders crash, brake hoses may be replaced with braided items, and standard suspension may be revalved, but no further performance enhancing modifications are allowed.
Two classes compete in the Red Square Kawasaki ZX10R Masters. Class A caters for the riders between thirty-five and forty-five years old while B gives the forty-five and older pilots a chance at championship glory.
South African Motocross
Team: Pelotrain / Race Nation Honda
Anthony Reynard
After a very successful 2010 National Series Pelotrain/Race Nation MX Team finished with 1 National Championships and 1 podium position while achieving many race wins and podium throughout the year in the respective classes.
2011 once again sees Pelotrain back with a competitive line up for the National Championship while taking on some new upcoming athletes who have been showing great potential.
The team will consist of these riders in the following categories::
Pro Mini:
Having won the National Championship in this class for the last 2 years, it is important to the team to make a hat-trick of it in 2011. For this to happen Pelotrain has signed up hard worker and talented rider Zane Farqusahn. Zane spent alot of Janaury in Cape Town with the team as he is from JHB and has shown great speed and work ethic early on.
Maria Pulinckx will also be riding the Pro Mini class for 2011, this young lady keeps on impressing everyone every year and this year we doubt it will be any different!
Anthony Reynard returns to the team for the 4th consecutive year. Anthony is a machine and a professional. After finishing 3rd in MX1 and 4th in MX2 in 2010, Anthony will be focusing 2011 in the MX1 class while using the MX2 class as a warm up for the MX1.
Matthew Beers is the new MX2 rider on the team, racing only a short time Matthew finished 5ht overall in the Highschool class for 2010 in his 1st year of Nationals and has now moved up to the MX2 class.
MX1 & S1 Motard:
Coming off a huge injury in 2010 Michael Kok will compete in MX1 and S1 Motard Nationals for the team. Michael is a truly gifted athlete and a rider but bad luck and situatiuations have led to the #1 plate being just out of reach. For 2011 Mike has taken things seriously training wise and I am keeping him close under my wing. To date we are looking like Mike has got his game back. A focused and fit Mike is deadly combination.
MASTERS & Motard:
Multiple South African National Champion Wayne Smith has joined the team for 2011. Wayne has more South African Championships than the country has had presidents and the knowledge he brings to the team will be very helpfull to the young riders on the team.

The third season of audacious festival Spring for Music, housed by Carnegie Hall but independently produced, comes with a bittersweet footnote: Next year's edition of Spring for Music will be the last, since funding could not be secured to perpetuate the series. Still, there's plenty to celebrate in the here and now, as five major orchestras come to town with their most adventurous programs in hand: the Baltimore Symphony (May 6), Albany Symphony (May 7), Buffalo Philharmonic (May 8), Detroit Symphony (May 9, 10) and National Symphony (May 11).

Five days you work / Two whole days to play / Come on, everybody / Wear your roller skates today. If it's Saturday (or Sunday), you'll find the Central Park Dance Skaters Association's skate circle in the heart of the park by a grove of blossoming cherry trees. Bring your own quads—or rent a pair from the Skate Truck (skatetrucknyc.com; two hours $15, four hours $20, all day $25; includes safety equipment), which is usually parked nearby—and bust a move with people of all ages to disco hits, soul and funk classics, modern R&B, jazzy grooves, and house and dance music spun by a rotating roster of local DJs. If you're not a skater, there's space to dance without colliding with those on wheels, or just watch the old-timers get groovy. Beginning in early April, weather permitting.
