fails The Top 7 People Caught Having Sex in Cemeteries f p @
502k views 7 items Follow Embed
Here's a list of insane people caught having sex in a graveyard. Cemetery sex happens when people are looking for a secluded place to get down or if they have some dark graveyard fetish. Want more sex lists? Here's another list of the best, crazy sex positions. People love living on the edge and having sex in a cemetary would certainly fit the bill for risktaskers. The chance of getting caught probably is worth it to them.
Check out these seven people caught having sex in a graveyard. Are they fools or badasses? Take a look here and see for yourself.

Republican Caught Having Sex w/ Toys, 18-Year Old Stripper
In what is by far the most famous story on this list, Roland Corning, one of the top lieutenants for the Attorney General's office in South Carolina was caught having sex with an 18 year old stripper in a cemetery.
Apparently he had a huge case of "The Mondays", as he committed the act at around 3PM on a Monday afternoon in 2009.
The way he was caught was, get this, by speeding off when officers approached his car (he was eventually pulled over). When he was pulled over he was caught with the extremely young-looking 18-year old stripper in his car along with sex toys (from vibrators to d***os) and some Viagra in his position, just in case...
... Which brings us to the most impressive part of this entire story: Roland was 65-years old at the time. The fact that he has that kind of sex drive at that age is not only commendable, but damn-near impossible and even if he was paying a teenage stripper for sex during his lunchbreak at his age, for that, we all salute him. Just because you're a senior doesn't mean you're dead.
Either way, the man was forced to resign and ended up apologizing, but who wouldn't cave under the pressure to admit to your actions in such a grave circumstance.

Twins Caught Digging Up Grave to Double Team Corpse Seen on News
Do you ever see someone on TV and just wish that you could be with them, talk to them or sometimes even more?
Well, twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke did too at some point, only instead of a cute starlet like Alison Brie , they decided to set their sights on someone a little less well-known: a girl named Laura Tennessen. Laura Tennessen was a 20-year old from Cassville, Wisconsin who was killed Aug. 27 in a motorcycle crash and buried at the St. Charles Catholic Cemetery in Cassville.
So when did the boys fall in love with her? When they stumbled upon her picture in an obituary. After they spent a while digging up her body for the sole purpose of having sex with it, someone reported the suspicious activity and they were caught, when they admitted to exactly what they were doing (proving once and for all that the online dating industry is too expensive for your every day American... and that they're absolutely insane).

Two Men in Dubai Say Hello to Each Other
Have you ever run into an ex of yours where if you guys ever had a Facebook status to explain how your relationship ended, the status would read "It's Complicated"?
In early 2010, two homosexual Pakistani men in Dubai ran into each other near a cemetery and, instead of getting into a car and driving into a nearby residential neighborhood's cul de sac in the middle of the night like civilized folk, they decided to hop the fence to the nearest cemetery to catch up on old times.
Unfortunately for them (and this man's vision), a local graveyard worker who happened to be looking out over the field caught them and told authorities. Both men were then arrested and, as of March 2010, the Dubai Court of First Instance was keeping them for violating the sanctity of the graves.

Naked 64-Year Old Man Caught Masturbating on Graves
In early 2010, in a New York cemetery, Frederick Zornow, a 64-year old man with the sex drive of a 17-year old (and obviously, the intelligence of one), was caught masturbating on top of a hill in broad daylight. After he was spotted, obviously, police were called to take care of the situation.
When police arrived, they found Zornow completely naked, filming himself with a tripod mounted camera while he flogged his Jolly Roger (which 100% counts as a kind of sex, at least for most people who read this).
The naked almost-senior-citizen (who we can all only hope to have the virility of) told the cops that he thought he couldn't be seen by anyone at the remote location where he was standing, which I guess was supposed to make everything okay somehow(?)
He was later charged with public lewdness (misdemeanor) and was released shortly afterwards.
$2 Prostitute Caught with a Few Truckers, Husband
In Romania, prostitutes using graveyards as breeding grounds (no pun intended) for sexual deviance and activity have become so commonplace that police raid cemeteries on a regular basis and often find cases as ridiculous as this one.
It used to be that you could go to a swanky brothel, hotel or other classy place to pay someone you don't know (who has literally 100s of guys under her belt -- pun intended), but in this day and age, dudes looking for some paid love (in this part of Romania) simply pull their truck off the main road, walk through a cemetery and meet prostitutes for quickies along the tombstones.
One Romanian call-girl who was caught "working the graveyard shift" was particularly remarkable because her pimp was, wait for it, her HUSBAND. Apparently her husband was falling so deep into his alcoholism that he needed to sell her body in order to maintain his addiction by selling her for what equates to about $2 a pop.
How were they caught, you ask? Well, more than a few members of the local trucking community were being "entertained" by the lady when police officials arrived. They found Ionel Tutuianu, 32, hiding (drunk, of course) behind a grave stone and completely out of his mind.
When questioned by the press, the only problem the prostitute had with this whole situation was that she wasn't charging enough money.

Prostitute Caught Giving Oral Sex... Is Acquitted
Alright, so this is kind of a hero story for a girl who is really just trying to make a living (doing something terribly illegal and dangerous, but still, hey...)
A young prostitute in Scotland was desperate for a place to make her latest John happy, so they went to the nearest cemetery to "get the job done." After they were caught by local police (as someone saw them going into the grounds and looking somewhat unsavory), the woman and man were arrested for public indecency.
In a stroke of luck, though, the woman (who, once again, was just doing her "job") was acquitted of all charges after appealing to the High Court of Appeal in Edinburgh.
The greatest part about Scotland is that some public officials/judges still have names like Lord Bonomy. The greatest part about this whole thing? That he sided with the prostitute. Why? Because his reasoning basically went "hey, she wasn't TRYING to get caught, they thought they were somewhere secluded." This logic applies to prostitution, apparently, and she got off (the apologies for the puns will start after this one) Scott free.
Here's the quote from the man who relieved her of the charges:
Lord Bonomy: "In the present case we can say that by selecting the locus that they did it is clear that the appellant and her co-accused did not intend that their activity should be observed by members of the public.
"However it does not follow automatically from the fact that they were discovered by two police officers that the appellant was reckless as to whether they might be observed by members of the public.
"We have reached the conclusion that it is not possible to determine from the findings in fact or from the narrative of the evidence…what the likelihood of discovery was and what attitude the appellant herself had taken to any risk of discovery."

Satanist Uses MySpace to Lure Teen Girls into Graveyard Sex
Giving a bad name to Satanists everywhere, Daniel William Peckham, 24, lured at least three girls, aged from 13 to 17 (aka most likely illegal), into the Sydney Rockwood Cemetery for sex on his MySpace blog, "Rookwood Gothic Society". This comes as no surprise because anyone who reads a stranger's Gothic sex blog on MySpace, of all places, obviously has no concept of "common sense.
How did he do this? Oh, well, by writing extremely charming sentences on his blog like:
- "If you have hang-ups about getting naked ... you are not welcome."
- "I like schoolgirls, they excite me,"
- "I'm going to turn Sydney into a big underage gang bang."
Even after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault on a minor, he continued to write letters to the girls from prison, which makes him the creepiest person on this entire list (for the most part, at least...)

TetraGene Tries to Resuscitate Cylene's Anticancer Quadruplex Technologies
Cylene Pharmaceuticals is handing off its Phase II compound Quarfloxin and associated anticancer quadruplex-targeting technologies to oncology drug discovery and development company TetraGene. As part of the deal, Cylene will receive an up-front fee as well as potential milestone payments and royalties on product sales for the exclusive license.
Quarfloxin, a small molecule that, according to Cylene, can disrupt a protein:rDNA complex that forms in the abnormal nucleoli of cancer cells to induce apoptotic cell death, has reportedly been demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated in Phase I clinical trials.
"Cylene will receive standard industry payments as the quadruplex program progresses and we will continue to focus our in-house development efforts on CX-5461, Cylene's clinical stage Pol I inhibitor that activates the p53 tumor suppressor selectively in cancer cells and not normal cells," stated William G. Rice, Ph.D., president and CEO of Cylene Pharmaceuticals.
"The agreement between TetraGene and Cylene immediately provides us with access to a clinical stage drug," commented Laurence H. Hurley, Ph.D., CSO of TetraGene. "The validity of drug-targeting G-quadruplex DNA and modulating expression of cancer genes has dramatically increased in the last few years, and our team is uniquely positioned to take advantage of these new insights."
Does TetraGene have a chance of breathing new life into Quarfloxin? It would appear to: the company's founders previously launched Montigen Pharmaceuticals, which was subsequently sold to SuperGen for $40 million in 2005.

New Delhi: Following in the footsteps of his legendary grandfather Lala Amarnath, Digvijay has made his foray into cricket with a first-class debut in Sri Lanka.
Lala, who scored India's first ever Test Century and later on went on to lead India, was a father figure in Indian cricket.
Then came his eldest son Surinder, who captained the Indian Schoolboys Test Team and later went on to score a century on Test debut like his father. The duo gave India the unique record of the only father and son to score a century on debut in Test Cricket.
They were followed by Mohinder, who played a leading role in India's first ever World Cup win in 1983. Now with the debut of Digvijay ' the 22-year-old son of Surinder ' the third generation of the Amarnath family has stepped on to the cricket field.
Before that, left-handed batsman Digvijay was selected to train at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai last year.
Digvijay was called for the Ranji Trophy trials by Goa Cricket Association after which he was inducted in the probables camp.
Post this stint, Digvijay went back to MRF and started his training, when a coach from Sri Lanka spotted him batting at the nets and was quick to invite Digvijay to play first-class cricket. (PTI)

Re: st: mi in Stata 11
firstname.lastname@example.com (Yulia Marchenko, StataCorp LP)
Re: st: mi in Stata 11
Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:17:48 -0500
JIBONAYAN RAYCHAUDHURI <email@example.com> had a follow-up question to my
earlier response at
> Just to be clear, before typing :
> . mi register imputed y1 y2 y3
> We would have to use :
>. mi reshape y, i(id) j(time)
> to get the data to wide form? Also, the simple reshape command has a long
> and wide option, but mi reshape does not require this declaration?
If your -mi- data are originally in long form, you should use -mi reshape
wide- to reshape it to wide form before imputation:
. mi reshape wide y, i(id) j(time)
The above will create variables y1, y2, and y3, provided that 'time' has three
Then use -mi reshape long- to convert the -mi- data back to long form after
. mi register imputed y1 y2 y3
. mi impute mvn y1 y2 y3, add(5)
. mi reshape long y, i(id) j(time)
Note that -mi reshape- does require specification of -long- or -wide- in the
same way as -reshape-. I accidentally omitted this in my earlier response.
> Finally, before any of this on the original data should we declare :
> . iis id
> . tis time
> or is there some other command for declaring a panel if we want to impute?
Because -mi impute- does not provide direct methods to impute panel data, you
do not need to declare your panel data before imputation. After imputation
and once -mi- data are converted back to long form, you can use -mi xtset- to
declare your panel data. (-iis- and -tis- were superseded by -xtset- as
of Stata 10.)
. mi xtset time
Notice that variable 'time' here records panel identifiers; it is not a time
identifier. As I mentioned in my previous post,
-mi impute- does not provide a way to impute time-series data which is what
Jibonayan has.
If Jibonayan had panel data rather than panel time-series data, the following
would be a way to proceed.
Suppose that you have longitudinal data saved in long form (mydata.dta):
variable 'y' records measurements, variable 'time' records times at which the
measurements were taken (panels), and variable 'id' records observation
identifiers within panels. Suppose that variable 'y' contains missing data.
Here are the steps for imputing missing values in 'y'.
First, declare your data to be -mi- data. I chose the marginal long style,
. use mydata
. mi set mlong (1)
Reshape long -mi- data to wide form:
. mi reshape wide y, i(id) j(time) (2)
Say 'time' has three categories so the above step creates three variables
'y1', 'y2', and 'y3'.
To impute them, we must first register them as imputed:
. mi register imputed y1 y2 y3
and then use, for example, -mi impute mvn- to fill in missing values:
. mi impute mvn y1 y2 y3, add(5)
If you wish to convert back to long form you can use -mi reshape- again:
. mi reshape long y, i(id) j(time)
If you now want to declare your imputed panel data, you should use -mi xtset-:
. mi xtset time
In the above, one can replace steps (1) and (2) with the following:
. use mydata
. reshape wide y, i(id) j(group) (1)
. mi set mlong (2)

Rainbow Valley HTML version
XXXII. Two Stubborn People
Rosemary West, on her way home from a music lesson at Ingleside, turned aside
to the hidden spring in Rainbow Valley. She had not been there all summer; the
beautiful little spot had no longer any allurement for her. The spirit of her young
lover never came to the tryst now; and the memories connected with John
Meredith were too painful and poignant. But she had happened to glance
backward up the valley and had seen Norman Douglas vaulting as airily as a
stripling over the old stone dyke of the Bailey garden and thought he was on his
way up the hill. If he overtook her she would have to walk home with him and she
was not going to do that. So she slipped at once behind the maples of the spring,
hoping he had not seen her and would pass on.
But Norman had seen her and, what was more, was in pursuit of her. He had
been wanting for some time to have talk with Rosemary, but she had always, so
it seemed, avoided him. Rosemary had never, at any time, liked Norman Douglas
very well. His bluster, his temper, his noisy hilarity, had always antagonized her.
Long ago she had often wondered how Ellen could possibly be attracted to him.
Norman Douglas was perfectly aware of her dislike and he chuckled over it. It
never worried Norman if people did not like him. It did not even make him dislike
them in return, for he took it as a kind of extorted compliment. He thought
Rosemary a fine girl, and he meant to be an excellent, generous brother-in-law to
her. But before he could be her brother-in-law he had to have a talk with her, so,
having seen her leaving Ingleside as he stood in the doorway of a Glen store, he
had straightway plunged into the valley to overtake her.
Rosemary was sitting pensively on the maple seat where John Meredith had
been sitting on that evening nearly a year ago. The tiny spring shimmered and
dimpled under its fringe of ferns. Ruby-red gleams of sunset fell through the
arching boughs. A tall clump of perfect asters grew at her side. The little spot was
as dreamy and witching and evasive as any retreat of fairies and dryads in
ancient forests. Into it Norman Douglas bounced, scattering and annihilating its
charm in a moment. His personality seemed to swallow the place up. There was
simply nothing there but Norman Douglas, big, red-bearded, complacent.
"Good evening," said Rosemary coldly, standing up.
"'Evening, girl. Sit down again--sit down again. I want to have a talk with you.
Bless the girl, what's she looking at me like that for? I don't want to eat you--I've
had my supper. Sit down and be civil."
"I can hear what you have to say quite as well here," said Rosemary.
"So you can, girl, if you use your ears. I only wanted you to be comfortable. You
look so durned uncomfortable, standing there. Well, I'LL sit anyway."
Norman accordingly sat down in the very place John Meredith had once sat. The
contrast was so ludicrous that Rosemary was afraid she would go off into a peal
of hysterical laughter over it. Norman cast his hat aside, placed his huge, red
hands on his knees, and looked up at her with his eyes a-twinkle.

The Story Girl HTML version
Magic Seed
When the time came to hand in our collections for the library fund Peter had the largest--
three dollars. Felicity was a good second with two and a half. This was simply because
the hens had laid so well.
"If you'd had to pay father for all the extra handfuls of wheat you've fed to those hens,
Miss Felicity, you wouldn't have so much," said Dan spitefully.
"I didn't," said Felicity indignantly. "Look how Aunt Olivia's hens laid, too, and she fed
them herself just the same as usual."
"Never mind," said Cecily, "we have all got something to give. If you were like poor Sara
Ray, and hadn't been able to collect anything, you might feel bad."
But Sara Ray HAD something to give. She came up the hill after tea, all radiant. When
Sara Ray smiled--and she did not waste her smiles--she was rather pretty in a plaintive,
apologetic way. A dimple or two came into sight, and she had very nice teeth--small and
white, like the traditional row of pearls.
"Oh, just look," she said. "Here are three dollars--and I'm going to give it all to the library
fund. I had a letter to-day from Uncle Arthur in Winnipeg, and he sent me three dollars.
He said I was to use it ANY way I liked, so ma couldn't refuse to let me give it to the
fund. She thinks it's an awful waste, but she always goes by what Uncle Arthur says. Oh,
I've prayed so hard that some money might come some way, and now it has. See what
praying does!"
I was very much afraid that we did not rejoice quite as unselfishly in Sara's good fortune
as we should have done. WE had earned our contributions by the sweat of our brow, or
by the scarcely less disagreeable method of "begging." And Sara's had as good as
descended upon her out of the skies, as much like a miracle as anything you could
"She prayed for it, you know," said Felix, after Sara had gone home.
"That's too easy a way of earning money," grumbled Peter resentfully. "If the rest of us
had just set down and done nothing, only prayed, how much do you s'pose we'd have? It
don't seem fair to me."
"Oh, well, it's different with Sara," said Dan. "We COULD earn money and she
COULDN'T. You see? But come on down to the orchard. The Story Girl had a letter
from her father to-day and she's going to read it to us."
We went promptly. A letter from the Story Girl's father was always an event; and to hear
her read it was almost as good as hearing her tell a story.

Four people were injured Sunday when their car collided with a semi-trailer at U.S. Highway 40 and Routt County Road 27, a Colorado State Patrol trooper said.
Trooper Melissa Remner said the trouble began at about 11:15 a.m. when a semi slid off C.R. 27 while its driver was attempting to turn right onto that road from U.S. 40. The semi blocked the county road and the driver, Robert Parr of Craig, 49, received a citation for improper mountain driving.
The driver of a second semi-trailer, Anthony Peroulis of Craig, 47, pulled over onto U.S. 40, turned on the vehicle's hazards and attempted to check on Parr, Remner said.
While Peroulis was out of his semi, a blue Volkswagen Passat traveling on U.S. 40 hit his semi from behind. All four passengers in the Passat were taken to Yampa Valley Medical Center for treatment of their injuries, Remner said.
The Passat's driver, 26-year-old Heather Van Houten of Boulder, and a female passenger were released Sunday evening with minor injuries. Two other passengers were being held for further treatment of injuries including broken bones, Remner said.
Roads were icy and packed with snow at the time of the crash, Remner said, and lane lines were not visible. At least one passenger in the Passat was not wearing a seat belt.
The investigation is ongoing.

I've written this article with the primary goal of reminding myself of the importance of monitoring my own computer usage and thereby incorporating appropriate methods and techniques to reduce the damage of such a prolonged state of sitting and staring at the monitor/screen! Phew, that was a long sentence, don't want to get arrested by my English teacher. Okay, I know…that was a bad joke!
Anyway, back to the topic.
Sometimes, or maybe always, whenever I sit in front of my computer with the intention of doing one thing, I end doing maybe twenty other things too. Even whilst writing this article I have several pages open, trying to read them all at once. My point is most people always nearly end up spending more time in front of their screen than initially intended. This leads to the purpose of this article. Whilst I was in Dubai (UAE), I was watching a good friend of mine working on his website. I noticed the bad position he was sitting in, I didn't say anything as I expected it to be temporary. However, I later observed that he always sat like that and as a result he has developed a kyphotic and lordotic curve in his spine, tight hip flexors and also his belly is somewhat more prominent.
He's still very young and it is a lot easier for him to reverse these problems now! I hope he's reading this!
The aforementioned problems are very common amongst deskbound and computer users, unfortunately the situation is not quickly discovered, though the problem is cumulative and hence there is a gradual deterioration which can be quickly rectified at any stage (not always, but in most cases this holds true).
Another common problem many computer users experience, especially bloggers and webmasters, is Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), the name itself describes the problem, however for those who don't know what it is: it is loosely described and related to the overuse of a tool or movement, e.g. pressing the same key on your keyboard for an hour!
RSI is also known as cumulative trauma disorder, occupational overuse syndrome, or work related upper limb disorder (WRULD).
Many people also complain of eye related problems such as irritation and straining.
So what can you do to prevent the above? I'll tell you soon in Part 2, stay tuned!

We got to bed at around 11, which felt like 8 to us, and slept until around 7, which felt like 4, so we were both pretty tired. We went down to the Lord Nelson's Brasserie for their continental breakfast of yogurt, muesli, toast and coffee, and headed out into what was supposed to be a cold rainy day but was instead very warm and sunshiny. We walked through the Rocks past Circular Quay to the Customs House, where we convened with a German couple, a Malaysian couple, and a young guy from Hong Kong to go on our 3-hour PeekTour walking excursion through the Rocks and the Central Business District with our guide Greg, a congenial Australian with a good line of patter about local history and culture. It's a free tour and you tip him at the end--probably a good business model. The first two hours of the tour until we broke for a quick lunch were great, and then the clouds rolled in and we could hear thunder in the distance, so we quickly walked through Hyde Park and the Botanical Gardens back to Circular Quay. We got under a covered walkway just a little after it started to pour, making our decision not to bring an umbrella look not so good. We went into a Guylan Belgian Chocolate Cafe, got something to help us get through the storm, and when the rain had mostly subsided we walked back to the hotel, napped, did some writing, and walked over to the "Fish on the Rocks" restaurant a block from the hotel and had a very fine meal, walked back, tried for most of the evening to get an Internet connection, and finally gave up.

NOTE: When MPR News launched Ground Level a year ago to develop new ways to cover community issues in Minnesota, one of the key reporters getting it off the ground was long-time Twin Cities writer and editor Jennifer Vogel. I'm happy to say she's back on the ground for us, and first on her agenda is to add to our Cities in Crisis coverage, delving deeper into how cities are dealing with new financial realities.
It's a timely and urgent matter, and she'll be posting material here regularly. Here's her first:
With yet another round of cuts to Local Government Aid on the legislative agenda, some cities and counties are looking beyond mere trims in services and reconsidering the very notion of how government works.
As Lena Gould, a policy analyst with the League of Minnesota Cities puts it, "You can only cut so many people before you don't have enough to provide the services we're all used to. We need to think differently."
By the League's estimate, if cities continue to operate as they do today, given current revenue and spending projections, many cities will be flat broke by 2015. The situation is urgent.
Jay Kiedrowski, a senior fellow with the U of M's Humphrey School, has just released a report laying out a rough blueprint for the way forward. Called, "Navigating the New Normal," the report cites some interesting real-life examples of cooperation, volunteerism, and plain old creative thinking in Minnesota.
–Mahnomen County, in partnership with a local car dealership, purchased cars for some recipients of public assistance, thus providing reliable transportation to work. Most of those residents who participated wound up leaving the public welfare rolls.
–Annandale, Maple Lake and Howard Lake built a joint wastewater treatment facility, saving operating costs and allowing for a more sophisticated treatment process.
–North Mankato has a new soccer field, but it wasn't built by the city. It was built by the local soccer association.
–In Redwood Falls, a private organization has stepped in to maintain Alexander Ramsey Park, the state's largest municipal park, through private donations, grants, and fundraising.
"Now is the time to innovate," Kiedrowski writes, noting that a time of crisis can be an opportunity for change.
Certainly there are even more good ideas out there. This spring and summer the League of Minnesota Cities wants to host a series of discussions to spur "broader thinking, better solutions." Cities can apply to host a forum here. The deadline for applications is February 11.

The Bride of Lammermoor HTML version
Chapter 33
This by his tongue should be a Montague!
Fetch me my rapier, boy;
Now, by the faith and honour of my kin,
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.
Romeo and Juliet.
HARDLY had Miss Ashton dropped the pen, when the door of the apartment flew
open, and the Master of Ravenswood entered the apartment.
Lockhard and another domestic, who had in vain attempted to oppose his
passage through the gallery or antechamber, were seen standing on the
threshold transfixed with surprise, which was instantly communicated to the
whole party in the staterroom. That of Colonel Douglas Ashton was mingled with
resentment; that of Bucklaw with haughty and affected indifference; the rest,
even Lady Ashton herself, showed signs of fear; and Lucy seemed stiffened to
stone by this unexpected apparition. Apparition it might well be termed, for
Ravenswood had more the appearance of one returned from the dead than of a
living visitor.
He planted himself full in the middle of the apartment, opposite to the table at
which Lucy was seated, on whom, as if she had been alone in the chamber, he
bent his eyes with a mingled expression of deep grief and deliberate indignation.
His dark- coloured riding cloak, displaced from one shoulder, hung around one
side of his person in the ample folds of the Spanish mantle. The rest of his rich
dress was travel-soiled, and deranged by hard riding. He had a sword by his
side, and pistols in his belt. His slouched hat, which he had not removed at
entrance, gave an additional gloom to his dark features, which, wasted by sorrow
and marked by the ghastly look communicated by long illness, added to a
countenance naturally somewhat stern and wild a fierce and even savage
expression. The matted and dishevelled locks of hair which escaped from under
his hat, together with his fixed and unmoved posture, made his head more
resemble that of a marble bust than that of a living man. He said not a single
word, and there was a deep silence in the company for more than two minutes.
It was broken by Lady Ashton, who in that space partly recovered her natural
audacity. She demanded to know the cause of this unauthorised intrusion.
"That is a question, madam," said her son, "which I have the best right to ask;
and I must request of the Master of Ravenswood to follow me where he can
answer it at leisure."
Bucklaw interposed, saying, "No man on earth should usurp his previous right in
demanding an explanation from the Master. Craigengelt," he added, in an
undertone, "d--n ye, why do you stand staring as if you saw a ghost? fetch me
my sword from the gallery."
"I will relinquish to none," said Colonel Ashton, "my right of calling to account the
man who has offered this unparalleled affront to my family." "Be patient,
gentlemen," said Ravenswood, turning sternly towards them, and waving his
hand as if to impose silence on their altercation. "If you are as weary of your lives

First off, the packaging is nice. The lipstick itself has a nice shade, almost bright coral pink. It is not matte, just so you know. But it's gonna last you long enough without getting too dry. You might have to retouch it like you would do anyway, with any other lipstick. Also quite a wearable colour.

Thank you for your question.
These shades are basically pink dominated. The type of shade that you want, might be POW 4, which is a coral pink having light hints of peach. However, it has a bit of neon tones to it, so you swatch it on before applying, so that you know whether the shade suits you perfectly or not.
Hope that helps.Answer by: Team Nykaa on Aug 11, 2015 6:38:07 PMQ.Which shade of Maybelline Color Sensational Pink Alert will suit best on wheatish skin?Question by: manju on Aug 9, 2015 10:50:00 AM

At 86 years old, ghost-like, hard of hearing and dependent on eye drops to blink, Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi is an unlikely revolutionary. But his physical frailty belies his astonishing influence. As Islamist parties vie for political power in the wake of the Arab Spring, the elderly sheik plays a pivotal role as their unofficial spiritual guide.
In the twilight of his life, the fundamentalist movement Sheik Qaradawi nurtured in the shadows is at its zenith. Many of the secular Arab leaders he denounced are exiled, jailed or dead. Meanwhile, his old comrades in the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots are poised to seize political power and turn to him for advice, which he also doles out for the masses from a televised pulpit – a weekly show broadcast on Al Jazeera where he promotes his vision of how Islam can co-exist with democracy.
As people in many Arab countries grapple with how to govern themselves in the wake of revolution, Sheik Qaradawi's opinions are suddenly sharply relevant. As the world's most powerful and instantly recognizable Sunni Muslim cleric, what he says has mattered for years. His twice-weekly show, Shariah and Life, draws a staggering audience of 60 million worldwide. That's slightly more than the number of people who tuned in to watched the final episode of Friends.
The uprisings that have swept the Middle East are the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. "All my life I have been struggling, fighting for this kind of revolution," he says with a smile that is framed by a carefully trimmed white beard.
He is hardly a model democrat in the eyes of Israel and its Western allies, which despise him for his support of Palestinian suicide bombers. During the 2009 war in Gaza, Sheik Qaradawi beseeched Allah to exterminate Jews: "Oh Allah, count their numbers and kill them, down to the very last one," he said in a particularly odious broadcast. He has been banned from entering an impressive list of countries including the United States, Britain, France and the United Arab Emirates. Some critics have described him as a modern-day Ayatollah Khomaini, saying he is nothing more than a charlatan who uses his vast network and television stardom to help elevate radical Islamists to power.
Sitting in a plush chair behind an engraved desk, where books on Islamic thought jostle for space with half-drained bottles of designer cologne that range from Chanel to YSL, the Egyptian-born cleric lives a life of privilege in Qatar, the world's wealthiest country, where he was exiled 50 years ago. His office walls are adorned with luxurious gifts that attest to his connections to the ruling al-Thani family, including a painting, labelled as "99 per cent gold," from the Qatar Foundation.
A lifelong member of the Brotherhood, his ties to the movement landed him in jail time four times in Cairo before Qatar offered him refuge.
Here he exemplified the phenomenon of a "global mufti," says Salah Eddin Elzein, director of the Aljazeera Centre for Studies. "Qaradawi living here gave him that exposure," says Dr. Elzein, who grew up in tiny Darfur and vividly recalled magazines featuring the sheik's teachings reaching his remote village, as if by some kind of miracle.
Sheik Qaradawi uses his platform to issue a dizzying number edicts to his Sunni Muslim followers on everything from breast-milk banks in the Muslim world (he supports them) to religious behaviour.
But it is his role as the voice of Islamist political thought that has become especially critical now.
His return to Egypt in the wake of Hosni Mubarak's ouster last year marked a personal victory. Fifty years after he was exiled for his association with the Brotherhood, he led a prayer in Tahrir Square, addressing more than a million spellbound Egyptians who clambered to catch a glimpse. "Don't fight history," he told them, adding, "You can't delay the day when it starts. The Arab world has changed."
To his admirers, he is a moderate force whose teachings on democracy have served as a blueprint for the Arab Spring. His support for a NATO-led military intervention in Libya lent credibility to a mission that could have just as easily been condemned as another Western invasion of an Arab country. His early calls for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down were vital in persuading key Arab states to ultimately denounce Damascus.
He says he has never rejected political pluralism and is comfortable with the prospect of Islamist parties competing for power, not monopolizing it. But Islamic law must reign supreme, in his view. Certain rules, like a ban on alcohol, can never be compromised. Even if a majority rejected such a ban, he says, it is the obligation of an Islamic state to uphold it. The alternative, he adds, would be chaos. In the past year, his musings have crossed the border from theory to real time, reflecting crucial debates taking place in countries like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya where the Muslim Brotherhood is ascendant.
As he has for years, Sheik Qaradawi argues that a marriage of Islam and democracy is preferable to the "fake democracy" that thrived for decades in the region.
"When a secular president announces 99.9 per cent of people have voted for him, this is not democracy," he says, an ironic reference to the kinds of sham elections that locked leaders in power for decades in some Arab countries. "Islam stands for real democracy."
The octogenarian's views resonate strongly with many of the young Muslims who spearheaded the pro-democracy uprisings of the Arab Spring. Ironically, it is the older Brotherhood establishment, which came late to the revolution, that has benefited from the power vacuum they left behind. Part of Sheik Qaradawi's power is that he holds sway with both demographics. Young people listen to him because of his savvy use of television and social media. Older Islamists, associated with the Brotherhood movement, view him as a sort of father figure, who advises them on everything from writing constitutions to the role of sharia law.
Sheik Qaradawi worries more about the older, ossified generation than the young, leaderless one. He warns that as the Brotherhood ascends to political office, it must change to reflect modern times or risk becoming irrelevant: "It is imperative for the Brotherhood to open up to all kinds of concepts, ideas and to try to get along with different currents of thought. I convey this idea, whenever I can to many people," he says.
Are Islamists ready to listen to him when his advice interferes with their quest for political power?
"I am trying to make them understand. I am dealing with them in a soft and amicable way, trying to make them understand and hope they will change their views," Sheik Qaradawi answers.
But it's unclear whether the Islamist movements, whose causes Sheik Qaradawi championed for so long, will need him in the same way, with political power finally within their grasp.
Two weeks after the sheik expressly instructed the Brotherhood not to run for Egypt's highest office, because it would lead to "tension" by alienating non-Muslims, the movement ignored him and named a presidential candidate.
"Qaradawi is part of the oldest generation, who perhaps fit in better than the ones who are in power now," says Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center. "They don't have the concerns about power and leadership and so they are instinctively drawn to the modernizing tendencies of the younger leadership that will emerge. I bet you he was more at home in Tahrir because of that, than anywhere else."
However, Sheik Qaradawi's guidance on the application of Islamic law continues to confound outside observers. He condones Palestinian suicide attacks on Israeli civilians, because he considers them soldiers. After the Sept. 11 terror attacks, he urged Muslims to donate blood for its victims. He has said that wife-beating is sometimes permissible. He also vociferously advocates education and employment for women, and one of his daughters is an internationally renowned nuclear scientist.
Age has not mellowed his tendency to court controversy. Dubai's police chief threatened on Twitter to arrest him for what he deemed were seditious remarks by the sheik criticizing the United Arab Emirates for revoking the visas of Syrians protesting against President al-Assad. French President Nicolas Sarkozy barred him from France last month where he'd been invited to an Islamic conference. In the wake of last month's killing spree in Toulouse, the sheik, it seemed, was no longer welcome.
The sheik maintains he is simply misunderstood. Asked for his opinion of Mohammed Merah, the Toulouse gunman who claimed to have killed seven people in the name of "Allah," he slams his fist on his desk.
"I totally reject this fellow's stand. He has nothing to do with Islam. It's an inhuman act," he says. Then he paraphrases a quote from the Koran: "He who kills a soul without any cause, it is like killing a whole nation. He who helps them survive, it is like he has created a whole nation."
Offering Turkish delight and freshly squeezed orange juice to visitors, he offers a conciliatory message to his critics. "My message to the West is they should accept me, and evolve a way of getting along."Report Typo/Error

So, you are already decided to jazz up your wedding reception or corporate party with a photo booth and want to make sure that your guests take the fullest advantage of it? Here are some insight tips on how to make your photo booth experience a complete hit.
1. Placement. The placement of your photobooth is extremely important. Try to set it up in a highly visible area near the action. The prefect spot is next to the bar and/or dance floor. Also, make sure that the location of your photobooth is somehow lit, so it's not placed in the dark corner of the room. People exiting the photobooth should enjoy their prints and being able to see and sign your guest book/scrapbook. Being in the business of photo booth rentals for years we got to see the raw emotions of happiness people laughing out loud, waiting anxiously by the print/scrapbook station, gathering in groups to judge their latest adventure in the photobooth and then having fun decorating a scrapbook.

Last week Libby and Sarah S., lead Developers on our planned China exhibition, posted a photo of this object and asked what you'd like to know about it.
Jane H., graciously linked this blog to The Field Museum's Facebook, and many people responded. Among their questions...
Terri would like to know: "Where was it found and how old is it?"
Dana says: "I love to learn about animal and plant imagery found in art and what meaning it had in that culture."
Daryl asks: "Can you give us insight to the artisans who created these vases?"
Caitlin requests: " I'm sure you'll cover this... but can you talk about the glaze and the painting, et cetera?"
Mara inquires: "What are all the decorative elements and do they have special significance? Where would this vase have been used, and for what and by whom? What is it made of/how was it made?"
David wants to hear about: other Chinese art in the Ming.
Mary Jane muses: "Why was it made? Functional? Nice to look at? To show off?"
And Melissa wonders: "How heavy is the vase? The handles look very small in proportion to the body--are they meant to be functional or purely decorative?"
By my calculations that's 13.72 questions. And that's just the first batch that Jane has forwarded to me. Right now Libby and Sarah S. are in Beijing, doing background research for the show. But I've passed these on to Sarah C. (also one of the Developers on the China project) and she'll be discussing them with our curators, Gary and Deborah, and posting answers here, soon. We'll also be posting questions and answers up in the Developers Conference Room on the fourth floor of the Museum on Members' Nights, this Thursday and Friday.
Members Night used to be the one night of the year that you could get into The Field Museum at night and go behind the scenes. Eventually, it grew to be so popular that we were starting to break fire code regulations on how many people you can pack into one museum. So we expanded it to two nights, back-to-back. It's for Members only, and by reservation, and FRIDAY IS ALREADY SOLD OUT. But if you want to get in and you're not currently a member, don't fret. I have handily inserted this link to our Membership site so that you can join The Field Museum and sign up immediately for your free Members Night tickets for Thursday night. Act now. Binary operators on our website are standing by.
Sarah C., will also be guest-blogging on this site, since I'm headed out of the Museum on Wednesday night, for a trip to Shanghai and Suzhou.
If possible, I'll try to post some pictures of what we're seeing and doing in China.

Hi-Fi products, made in China
That brand used to be manufactured in America, now it's Chi-Fi.
by Bill February 08, 2005
A tiny area of San Francisco which straddles Chinatown and the Financial District. It lies within the thin shadow of the Transamerica Pyramid. The boundaries are generally Pacific Street, Montgomery Street, Sacramento Street and Kearny Street, dissected by Columbus Avenue. Virtually no one resides there officially, and yet it is one of the busiest parts of the city by day. The portmanteau format draws upon the 'SoMa' usage for South of Market Street and latterly 'NoPa' for North of the Panhandle. Inspired by 'DiFi' for Senator Dianne Feinstein, a San Francisco icon.

I would love to have a machine like that!!! Really pretty design.
I don't know anything about the machine but, I do know that design is beautiful.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Yes, it is in the dreamweaver built in designs.
It sure looks beautiful!! I love doing machine embroidery.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Wow, that would open up a whole new world and new hobby for me! Better not tempt myself with that yet as I've got way too many quilting ideas buzzing in my brain yet! Enjoy your new toy!
I use the water soluble most of the time. I love the embroidery machines, I have a viking designer SE. I really enjoy it!
It might be possible to use a wash out stabilizer. I think that you might try sewing it on a fine netting with a wash out stabilizer. The netting would hold the thread designs together. Just a suggestion, never tried it but have thought about it. Georgette
go to dkembroidery.com and check out projects, check out all of it actually, its a great site for embroidery and quilt designs
always learning
I have read somewhere that you can use tuille with dissolving stabilizer for stand alone lace designs.

Venue Takes a Closer Look at Polarizing 'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark' Musical
Erich Jungwirth, the recently installed General Manager of the Foxwoods Theater, has reached out to several major Broadway producers with projects nearing completion according to The New York Time's Arts Beat blog.
Although Jungwirth, and the theater's owner Live Nation, suggest a new general manager reaching out to potential partners is standard protocol, the timing is suspect. In order for Turn Off the Dark to turn a profit and pay off its $65 million dollar (and rising) debt, the musical will need to be positioned at Foxwoods Theater for at least five years, not one. And that's assuming in those five years that most shows are sellouts at the maximum price point for tickets.
After an initial delay, comment from Jungwirth was e-mailed from Live Nation to the Arts Blog to explain his activities and reaffirm the theater's support of the potentially doomed musical:
I can confirm that I have met with people in the industry to introduce myself as the new G.M. of the Foxwoods Theater. It is the custom in our industry for a new GM to both introduce themselves in the community and to see if there are any shows coming up that may be able to play in our venue; this is what keeps the lines of communication open and allows both operators and producers to know what inventory and product are available. As for 'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark,' we are incredibly positive about the prospects and are optimistic that the show is going to have a fantastic run at the Foxwoods Theater for many years to come," he said. "We are thrilled about the opening of this historical show in our theater and are very proud of our staff in their tireless efforts to assist making this extraordinary event happen.
The debate will rage on until the musical opens to general audiences in January, but Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark continues to seem rife with the ol' Parker luck.

Outlook Here was Bob Diamond doing his humble act. For a global swinging dick, a £100m, breakfast-in-London, lunch-in-Zurich, dinner-in-New York man, this was always going to be a big ask. Mr Diamond reckons the measure of a company culture is how it behaves when no one is looking. Perhaps the measure of humbleness is not how politely you take questions from the Treasury Select Committee but whether you actually answer them.
Respect isn't the same as courtesy; good manners aren't better than a straight reply. Measured and cool, seemingly concerned to be helpful and always seeking out context when "yes" or "no" was required, this was supposed to be the modest, contrite modern banker.
Mr Diamond would have to be a brilliant actor to carry this off. He may be many things, but not that.
According to his testimony, his career involves other people making moves of which he becomes only fleetingly aware. The bold-as-brass takeover of the remains of Lehman Brothers – a ballsy, tough call that subsequently looks like a master stroke – is described as "a decision the board made".
He is in rooms where things happen, but he can't remember exactly what. Behaviour is "reprehensible", but only with hindsight. At the time it is occurring, well, he just never saw it.
The temptation for MPs to grandstand on such occasions is plainly irresistible, but they seemed to miss the bigger picture.
The committee imagined itself to be forensic lawyers with an understanding of the international bond industry. Some of them probably are lawyers who get money markets, but the effect of the approach was sometimes to leave them lost in detail.
That's playing on Mr Diamond's home turf. No one says he doesn't have a brilliant grasp of technicalities, that he isn't extremely good at his job. The question is whether that job serves to act against the interests of most people.
Questions not asked: shouldn't the bank you built be broken up in the public interest? Do you expect to get another multi-million-pound job shortly? How much of your £100m fortune is due to your lucky position as a financial landlord who gets to collect rent the rest of us have no choice but to pay? Without such a direct attack, Mr Diamond was able to prevaricate as desired.
Get to the point, said the MPs. If it suits me, he pretty much replied. Mr Diamond thinks he is much smarter than the politicians. He is right, it is sad to report. They barely laid a full glove on him.

Tender shrimp is accompanied by tropical fruit and bathed in a sweet, limey vinaigrette. The shrimp can be poached 1 day ahead, and the fruit and vinaigrette may be prepared hours ahead and refrigerated, then assembled when ready to serve. You may have vinaigrette left over from this very generous recipe.
Servings: 4
- 3 cups dry white wine or water (or a combination)
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp (16 to 20), peeled and deveined
- 2/3 cup peanut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 limes (grated zest and juice)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño chili pepper, or more to taste
- Salt
- 6 cups mesclun greens
- 6 tablespoons torn mint leaves
- 6 tablespoons torn basil leaves
- 2 papayas or mangoes (may substitute 1 cantaloupe), flesh diced or sliced
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the wine or water or a combination. When bubbles just begin to break the surface, add the shrimp and poach until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, discarding the poaching liquid. Cover and refrigerate the shrimp for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
In a medium bowl, combine the oil, lime zest and juice, brown sugar and crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeno chili pepper and whisk to blend. Season with additional red pepper flakes, if desired, and salt to taste. Set the vinaigrette aside.
When ready to serve, combine the greens, mint and basil in a large bowl. Toss the shrimp with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette and marinate for 5 minutes. Add half of the remaining vinaigrette to the bowl with the greens and herbs. Toss to coat and divide among individual plates. Top with the shrimp and fruit. Drizzle some of the remaining vinaigrette on top and serve.

Cruising India's Mighty BrahmaputraAuthor: John M. (More Trip Reviews by John M.)
Date of Trip: April 2007
Cruising the mighty Brahmaputra River in the north eastern Indian state of Assam is like taking a step back in time.
Sitting on your cruise vessel's panoramic sundeck at dawn, as the sun shows as an almost scarlet orb and the mist lifts to expose the remote landscape, one could be forgiven for imagining one's travelling companions are Mahatma Gandhi or Rudyard Kipling.
The voyages, operated by the Assam Bengal Navigation Company (http://www.assambengalnavigation.com) are not for the faint-hearted. But have strong appeal to serious travellers as opposed to tourists wanting to buy trinkets or to shop 'til they drop. Rarely will passengers see another European face apart from those of their fellow travellers.
The ABN operates two vessels – the "Charaidew" and the "Sukapha" – which both accommodate up to 20 passengers in 12 well-equipped and self-contained cabins. Voyages extend from four to 10 nights, and also can include the Hugli River. Prices range from $185US to $275US per night plus taxes, and include all meals and on-shore excursions.
The Brahmaputra cruises operate along various sections of the majestic river which, in the monsoon, can become like a vast inland sea with some sections expanding in width to more than 25 kilometres. The River Hugli cruises are between Kolkata and the Ganges, a more intimate waterway with an emphasis on monuments and culture, whether Hindu, Muslim or Colonial.
My own cruise was seven nights aboard the "Sukapha" from Silghat to Sibsagar, and included Majuli Island, regarded as the world's largest river island. It is a remote stretch of river with views varying from lush jungle through to barren stretches of sand and rice paddies. Because of annual river flooding, few villages at built on the banks, and those that we visited were often about a 30 minute walk inland – easy treks with the reward being opportunities to mingle with tribes whose lifestyle has changed little over the past 50 years.
When not on-shore, the vessel's splendid sun deck also affords superb river views. We often saw wild elephants, fresh water dolphins, water buffalo and prolific birdlife, with the latter becoming most absorbing because of the knowledgeable bird-watcher who travels on all cruises. On some cruises, passengers have seen tigers roaming the riverbanks, although these eluded our voyage.
The deck also provides a marvellous photographic platform, especially for the sunrises and sunsets.
Over our 8 days aboard the "Sukapha", we wandered through Mishing villages where Europeans are still a novelty, visited ancient temples and monasteries, saw monks dancing like dervishes as they played ancient musical instruments, and drove through Kaziringa National Park and saw one horned rhinos, elephants, water buffalo, hog deer, langur monkeys, bison and huge storks. These excursions were made even better because of the guide who travels aboard the vessel and who speaks excellent English and is highly knowledgeable.
The well-equipped vessel has all modern facilities – 12 air conditioned self contained cabins, a comfortable saloon at the bow which became an informal club for the passengers, a dining room with panoramic views, and a massage centre.
While the "Sukapha" serves excellent Indian cuisine in the dining room, we also enjoyed a memorable on-shore tandoori barbecue one night, and were entertained by villagers performing spectacular traditional dances.
All on-board meals take the form of a hot and cold buffet. Breakfasts are filling and are an excellent way to start each day. Lunch and dinner always have a strong Indian flavour, with local dishes being the highlight.
The "Sukapha" also has its own tender – a beautifully and brightly decorated launch that took us ashore for our excursions.
ABN also operates a basic but very comfortable jungle lodge – Bansbari Lodge - at the entrance to Assam's Manas National Parks, one of India's tiger breeding parks. We loved it, although once again, it is for serious travellers wanting an exhilarating experience rather than pampered luxury.
Rooms are spartan, and have twin beds, en-suite bathroom and toilet, and outdoor area. Electricity tends to be tricky, although when the main supply cuts out, the Lodge's generator cuts in. But this is yet another sign that you are in a remote area where luxuries are far outweighed by the experience.
The Lodge overlooks magnificent and expansive tea gardens, and provides some of the best guided walks I have ever undertaken. We stayed there four nights, and each day walked for several hours through local villages where we saw tea being picked or were made to feel welcome by the friendly and generous locals as they went about their daily routine.
We also undertook two half-day safaris through Manas National Park.
Travelling in an open 4-wheel drive vehicle, the safari terminated at the border of India and Bhutan – 20 kilometres from the Lodge but about a 90-minute journey due to the torrid road conditions.
