Ten Reasons Why Consensual Incest Is Wrong
2) Many people are disgusted by the idea. If something disgusts many people, it must be wrong for everybody! People are so disgusted by the possibility of having sex with a close relative that they always get DNA tests before having sex with anyone, to just be sure they aren't having sex with a relative.
3) It increases the risks of birth defects, and anything that does that is wrong and shouldn't be allowed, just like we don't allow pre-menopausal women over the age of 35 to have sex, and we don't let anybody with obvious, serious inheritable diseases have sex. Yup, this is why it is wrong for two half-brothers to fall in love, or why stepsiblings who didn't even meet until they were teenagers shouldn't be together. They might make a mutant baby!
4) It's illegal in some places, and something being illegal always makes it wrong. You know, like harboring runaway slaves? That's why having sex with your first cousin is wrong in Texas but just fine in almost every other US state, half of which legally marry first cousins, and why consensual incest between closer family members isn't wrong in Rhode Island, which has no laws against consensual adult incest.
5) It's not natural, and people should only be allowed natural things, like bicycles, smart phones, and iPads. OK, maybe it is natural in some species. But we shouldn't lower ourselves to the behavior of other animals, who make wars and pollute the planet.
6) Someone's religion is against it. And if someone's religion is against it, nobody else should be able to do it. You'll never find examples of acceptable consensual incest in the Bible.
7) There are so many people you're not closely related to. That makes consensual incest (consanguinamory) wrong, just like there being plenty of people in your own race makes interracial relationships wrong.
8) Only rural poor people would ever do such a thing, not royals or educated people. And anything done by rural poor people is wrong.
9)There is often a power differential in consensual incestuous relationships, and relationships with power differentials are just wrong. That's why no President of the United States, Senator, Governor, judge, district attorney, or police chief has ever been married, and we bar wealthy or intelligent people from marrying someone who isn't as wealthy or intelligent as them. Yes, power differentials are exactly why half siblings close in age, even if they didn't meet until they were adults, shouldn't be allowed to be together.
10) It messes up family structures and dynamics. That's why every family's dynamics are always required to be evaluated and corrected by outsiders, and people are never allowed to break up if a breakup will mess up the dynamics of the family. And people are never allowed to work with family members, as that could cause conflicts or too much reliance on family. Yes, messing up a family dynamic is why genetic relatives who were raised by different families should never be allowed to be together.
Yup, we need to let all of those people who've found that a close relative makes the best life partner for them, or perhaps just a trustworthy sexual partner, know what they are doing is wrong and they should stop, and go settle for someone else, who I'm sure will be just fine being the B-list choice for someone who'd rather be with the person they see when the family gets together. People need to make sure they aren't doing anything that makes anyone who's not involved uncomfortable. That needs to come before their happiness.
This bit of sarcasm is brought to you by someone who supports the rights of ALL consenting adults to their relationships with any and all consenting adults.

Yes, the arguments against consensual incest fall apart when analyzed closely. Then again, the same thing could be said for the arguments keeping any adult apart from another adult who want to be in a relationship together. We must stick together and do what we can to help more people realize that the government and society should not be able to tell adults that they cannot be together.ReplyDelete

I like this page, sometimes sarcasm will get the point across. It highlights how illogical some people are when it comes to anything that they personally find disgusting. They'll use any argument, no matter how weak, to try to get their point across.ReplyDelete

I hope you don't delete this comment but I completely disagree. The reason incest is wrong is because romantic relationships are basically interpersonal relationships. The problem isn't that you're limiting genetic diversity, but that you're limiting the diversity of your social circle. Say a brother and a sister were to marry, there would be no in-laws, no new people to meet through each other. Rejecting somebody else for your own kin is isolating yourself from others. The stereotype of people in rural areas committing incest is because of geographic isolation. The only way people know each other is through family in such isolated areas. The reason for nobility to intermarry and breed is similar, class isolation. They would rather marry a cousin for the good of the nobility than let a commoner or a political enemy into the royal lineage. Lastly, incest is wrong because there are different types of love: eros, phileo, storge, and agape. To confuse phileo or storge for eros is a part of the hyper sexualization and the over romantism of romance in our society. Incestuous people don't JUST content themselves with friendship, they MUST have sex and romance, which is a wrong way to look at all of your social relationships, as if they were a shortcut to sexual pleasure. In short, the act itself isn't morally wrong, but the causes and consequences are morally dubious at best. This is not hate, so please don't delete.ReplyDeleteReplies

You're basically saying that they should be forced to go out and find someone else. Not all incestuous people are in their respective relationships just for the sex. They don't just have a sexual attraction. They also have emotional connections with their partners. Just go through the "Case Studies" section of this blog and you'll find many incestuous couples that are akin to normal couples, with the only exception being the fact that they are related. Your argument is an example of the majority dictating what consenting adults can and can't do in the bedroom behind closed doors. This is an example of the tyranny of the majority. It is something Alexander Hamilton cited when he was working on the Constitution. It was meant to protect an ignorant majority from trumping upon the rights of marginalized communities and groups.Delete
Honestly, what is wrong with not going out and finding someone else? It is a mere social construct. If incestuous couples are not hurting anyone, then why should the state interfere with their lives? We might as well ban dating sims or any other form of entertainment that may prevent people from going on and finding real people.
If you look at the Case Studies, there are many cases of incestuous people having started out dating people outside of their families but finding all of their relationships dull and unsatisfying. They actually took the effort to go out and find real people. These people then began dating their brother or sister and found their new relationship so much more fulfilling and satisfying than their previous "normie" relationships.
The people I described above fell into one of two categories:
a.) They were in love with their brother or sister since childhood. However, out of concern for the demands of society, they decided to go out and try to find other people to fall in love with. They succeeded, but those relationships didn't last very long and very unsatisfying for them. They then went back to their brother or sister, reunited, confessed, and began their incestuous relationships.
b.) They were separated from their sibling early in their childhood. They dated various people during their adulthood and time apart. They reunited later on during their adulthood, fell in love, and began a relationship. They reliazed that this newfound relationship turned out to be far more fulfilling than their previous "normie" relationships.
I sympathize with the people in the above two categories. They followed society's pressure to go out and find someone else to love...but in the end, it just didn't work out. They reunited with their siblings and developed something truly special. Something that none of their "normie" relationships couldn't even compare to.
I advise that you check out the "Case Studies" section of this blog. Hopefully, it will make you think twice about your current viewpoint.

My name is Quasimoto. I have a bad hunch back and my daughter while pretty has the same condition. My wife jumped off the cathedral and is long dead and buried so it is just me and my daughter left in here. No one else in the village will give either of us a second look. We are lucky if the priest give us a loaf of bread a day and I can catch a rat or tui.I am not sure what phileo sorge agape or eros are, but my daughter loves me and I love her and I am not sure why you have a problem with that, unless you are in love with my daughter yourself and want to take her away from me, or in love with me and want to take me away from her. I think you are just jealous of our happiness and so want to split us up. If God hadn't wanted people to have incest, why does he make up the story of Abraham and Sarah in the Bible? Surely that totally made up myth in the Bible proves beyond question, that God believes in the appropriateness of adult consensual incest for certain people at certain times, and the right of two people to decide when it is appropriate for them. Just as with anti-insemination laws that were scrapped on 12th June 1967.ReplyDelete
So many people were unfairly jailed because some whitey 'know-it-all' decided that inter-racial sex was abnormal and disgusting and a threat to white rule, so made it illegal.
but how can my hunchback daughter and me be a threat to this society that threatens itself with extinction anyway, with all its mad pollution and wars? We are not the threat. Society is the threat! Social relationships on one loaf of bread a day? Why not make the the causes and consequences that are morally dubious illegal and arrest them! No offense intended, but I think you may be out of touch with the wide variety of different situations that exist in the world.

I enjoyed the article very much. The humour made me LOL. It may be well to remember that those on the opposed side of the argument are also victims of brainwashing systems that have been around a long while and were not constructed by those individuals themselves. How they must suffer with their false consciousness, Judeo-Christian guilt complexes, repression of their natural instincts, and neurotic obcessive-compulsive 'holier-than-thou' sanctimony. To be so flint-hearted and intolerant to others simply minding their own business and spending time together in love, and wishing them to be jailed and have their lives ruined for being ACI, obviously means that they have big chips (internal pain and anger) on their shoulders about something and simply have an urge to be cruel and sadistic to someone or anyone who they can find the opportunity to treat badly with impunity.ReplyDelete
As for one commentator who argued that all people should wish to extend their circle of acquaintances, though I appreciate his concern for the welfare of society and the individuals in it, I don't think (English people at least) fall in love with the ulterior motive of extending family connections. When author of 'The Four Loves' ( C.S. Lewis married Joy Davidman, apparently "the marriage was a pure matter of friendship and expediency." "She was my daughter and my mother, my pupil and my teacher, my subject and my sovereign; and always, holding all these in solution, my trusty comrade, friend, shipmate, fellow-soldier. My mistress; but at the same time all that any man friend (and I have good ones) has ever been to me. Perhaps more." This is all very telling. Of the four loves in his rather mechanical system, it seems when it came to marriage it was Charity (agápē) which was his main motivation, not the desire to create more friends and acquaintances.

Leigh's game against Keighley on Sunday will kick off at 2pm rather than 3pm as originally planned.
This change has been brought about as the RFL requested the presence of several first-team players from the Centurions as part of the Rugby League Rocks event being held that evening in Manchester, starting at 6pm.
Leigh Centurions head of rugby Derek Beaumont said: "I'd like to thank Cougars chairman Gary Fawcett and the Keighley board for agreeing this switch.
"As a club it is always our intention to support the RFL in marketing our great game and the Rugby League Rocks event should be a great occasion.
"Hopefully as many our own supporters as possible will be able to attend the event after the game at LSV.
"Head coach Paul Rowley intends fielding his strongest available 17 for the game and after two tremendous warm-up games so far against Wigan and North Wales Crusaders we are all looking forward to the game."
Ticket prices are as follows: Adults £10, Concessions £8, Under-16s £5, Under-12s free (when accompanied by an adult).
Centurions' final warm-up game will be against Oldham at LSV on Sunday, February 8 (3pm) before the Kingstone Press Championship opener against Bradford Bulls at LSV on Sunday February 15 (3pm).

In January 1997 the school became a dual mode setting enrolling students with mild through to severe intellectual disabilities. The school's name was then changed to Echuca Specialist School.
Since that time our student numbers have progressively grown, with indications that this trend will continue into the future.
The school is housed in some rented accommodation with DEECD portable buildings on site. The grounds have been extensively landscaped providing a safe and pleasant learning environment. The students have participated in creating
mosaic murals and paintings which are displayed in the outdoor settings. Each class group has a vegetable garden and classes take turns to care for the chickens. The

Prince Charles makes a personal donation for upkeep of colonial British cemetery in Sri Lanka
Wed, Feb 19, 2014, 12:09 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 19, Colombo: Britain's Prince Charles has made a personal donation towards the upkeep of the British Garrison Cemetery in Kandy.
The Prince's donation will go towards the continuing upkeep of the colonial cemetery, which is visited by many tourists to Kandy each year, the British High Commission in Colombo said.
The Prince of Wales has visited the cemetery when he was in Sri Lanka to open the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in November last year, after paying his respects at the Temple of the Tooth.
The cemetery contains the graves of many British nationals who played a role in the development of Sri Lanka in the 19th Century, including Lady Elizabeth Gregory and Sir John D'Oyly.
According to Sri Lanka's Cultural Affairs Minister T.B. Ekanayake, the cemetery is located within the Dalada Maligawa land and while the Diyawadana Nilame and the Chief Prelates maintained the Maligawa land, the cemetery is being maintained by the British.
The garden cemetery was founded in 1817 for the internment of British-era colonists and is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission it is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Honorary Supervisor of the Commonwealth War Graves Chris Worthington has said that the cemetery is of both historic importance and a tranquil resting place for British nationals who contributed much to Sri Lanka.
He has thanked the Sri Lanka's Departments of Archaeology and Cultural Affairs for their continuing support for the cemetery's upkeep.

Hot Picks
An Interview with Rue Morgue's Editor-in-Chief Dave Alexander
by Dale Pierce
June 2016
Quick Links
You are the current editor of Rue Morgue magazine.
How long have you held this position?
I am the editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue. I've been the EiC
since 2009.
Before that I was the managing editor (from 2005 to 2009),
and before
that I was a freelancer writing for the mag when I lived in
For those unfamiliar with the magazine, tell readers
about what it covers and consists of.
Rue Morgue is the world biggest horror-themed magazine, our
focus is on
"horror in culture and entertainment", which means we cover
any- and
everything in the horror genre and on its fringes -- movies,
books, art,
comics, video games, etc. That coverage encompasses
categories such as
classic, cult, foreign, monsters, gore, indie, mainstream,
new classic
and under-the-radar stuff.
Do you find it difficult to operate as
traditional magazine when so much emphasis is being placed
online instead?
We have seen a shrink in our print advertising, which has
affected the
magazine, however, we have made up for it through
advertising on our
website, at our events, sponsorship and via our social
Research shows that the deepest level of engagement is still
print ads; for example, one study showed that the average
time spent on
a click-ad is 2-3 seconds, whereas the average time spend
with a print
ad is about ten times that much. A mix of print and digital
is currently
the best way to reach the horror audience.
There is, however, a webpage for the magazine,
Yes, we run plenty of original content on it - http://www.rue-morgue.com
Are you mainly staff-written or do you also use some
guest writers and freelancers?
The majority of the magazine is written by freelancers.
What interested you in such a magazine? Have you,
for example, ever worked in film yourself?
I was obsessed by dinosaurs and monsters as a kid, read
monster comics,
then discovered the Universal Frankenstein and
which really
helped set me on the path to being a monster kid. I really
interested investigating the genre when I was in university
discovered that not a lot of people were studying it, so
there was
plenty to unearth and discuss. I have degree in Film and
Media Studies
and dedicated a large portion of degree to focusing on
horror cinema.
While in university, a friend turned me onto Rue Morgue,
which further
stoked my interest, and when I was working as a full time
journalist, I approached them to get involved. Eventually I
did. At the
same time I was making short films, some of which were shown
festivals and won awards. I'm currently developing a
documentary TV show.
As an editor, what do you think "makes" a "good
editor?" What are qualities you think an editor should have?
That's a broad question but a few examples: you need to be
good with
people and be able to work with them to lead them as a team;
you need to
understand who your readers are and how to connect with them,
and often you
have to be creative to come up with compelling story ideas
and then
being able to execute them within your resource, time and
On the other hand, what about flaws? What might make
a "bad" or "poor editor" for lack of a better term?
People with egos who aren't team players, anyone who's lazy,
and those
who refuse to adapt to change, especially in the internet age.
What do you look for in a good article?
Is it clear, concise, within the needed word count? Does is
have a
strong voice, a compelling angle and did the writer take the
time to get
the facts right?
Do you have any "norms" for deciding what gets run
and what does not?
We're pretty open, but we know our viewpoint and style, so
we stick to
it. For example, we don't publish works of fiction.
What have been some of your most popular features?
Some of the most popular ones are in-depth retrospectives,
such as
Halloween cover stories about Cronenberg's The
Fly, the
anniversary of Universal
Studios, or the work of Clive
Barker; fun round
up articles, such as ones about the Top Alternative Horror Films, Horror
Comics, Classic Horror Video Games, etc.; and culture
features that take
a look at something obscure you may not know existed, such
as our recent
piece on vintage anatomical models.
You also tend to like tribute features, no? For
example you did one big feature recently on the actor who
played The Tall Man in Phantasm, who passed recently.
Yes, we did a feature on the new Phantasm movie, which also
contained a
look at the restored original film, and features cast
members paying
tribute to Angus Scrimm, who played the series' iconic
villain, The Tall Man.
What do you see down the road or have for future
plans concerning the magazine?
There's always a lot on the go, which we love. In terms of
the world of
Rue Morgue, there's our new convention coming up in July,
The Dark
Carnival (darkcarnivalexpo.com), which has been a lot of
work but it's
gonna be a blast. We've got more of the themed supplements
coming out in
our Rue Morgue library series, our monthly CineMacabre movie
nights here
in Toronto, new merch items and events we'll be sponsoring.
For the mag
itself, we've started working on the big Halloween issue,
and we'll be
bringing on some great new writers.
Do you have any unusual or funny stories to tell,
as an editor, concerning behind the scenes tales or
incidents while working in this position?
Hmmm... most of 'em would get myself or others in trouble.
Let's see...
one of the coolest days I had while working at the magazine
was visiting
the site of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas with Tom
Savini. He's
obsessed by it and gave a few of us his personal, very
detailed tour of
the locations, discussing various theories, demonstrating
what he thinks
occurred and then taking us for lunch after. That was a
pretty unusual
afternoon, and total blast.
If there are any major changes you would like to
make in the magazine, what would these be?

One extreme approach to college applications is to procrastinate until the impending deadlines leave you no choice but to get things done. But that's stressful, risky, and almost never leads to applications and essays that are as good as they would have been had you started earlier and spent more time getting them right.
The other extreme is the student (or parent) who meticulously plans an application schedule. Every application, every essay prompt, every necessary to-do is itemized and scheduled on a calendar, spreadsheet, or other organizational tool of choice. It's better than the wait-until-the-last-minute approach, but these schedules tend to fall apart quickly. Seniors are busy, and many of their schedules are in a constant state of flux. You just never know when you'll end up rehearsing late, completing an AP government assignment, or getting stuck on one of those application essays that takes more than the allotted time to complete.
Patrick O'Connor has a reasonable approach that seems just right to me. As shared in his post for counselors, What to Say When Your Students are Freaked About College Apps:
"Carve a two-hour block out of Saturday or Sunday (or both), work on your applications then — and only then — and forget about them during the week. That way, you get to study and learn, work on the homecoming float, have a great senior year, and write great college essays to boot. Plus, your applications will be done by Thanksgiving, so you can spend Christmas break with your family, not with your computer."
I've helped a lot of students apply to college. My counselors have helped even more. And I can tell you that depending on where you're applying and how many applications you're submitting, if you follow this schedule–two hours, Saturday and Sunday—for even just 2-3 weekends in a row, you will either be finished with applications, or you will have made such significant progress that your stress levels will lower considerably (and you'll have momentum on your side).
Here's the key, though. You've got to make those two-hour blocks count. Turn off all your notifications. Avoid all interruptions. Go to a library or someplace else quiet with nothing to distract you. And then focus like your college applications depend on it.

University of Buckingham Decorative Arts
University of Buckingham Decorative Arts
MA in Decorative Arts and Historic Interiors
Full or Part-time: Full-time, Part-time
Course outline
This unique MA in French and British Decorative Arts and Interiors focuses on the development of interiors and decorative arts in England and France in the "long" eighteenth century (c.1660-c.1830) and their subsequent rediscovery and reinterpretation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
A key element of the course is the emphasis on the first-hand study of furniture, silver and ceramics, where possible in the context of historic interiors. Based in central London, it draws upon the outstanding collections of the nearby Wallace Collection and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The MA is designed to appeal to those wishing to pursue careers in heritage organisations, antique-dealing and auctioneering, museums, conservation, interior design or university teaching and research. However, those with a strong personal interest in studying the subject for its own sake are also very welcome.
With its focus on first-hand study of decorative arts within historic interiors, the programme provides a vocational and academic training which has enabled students to pursue careers in museums, interior design, antique dealing, and auctioneering. Some of our past students now work at the Royal Collection, the National Trust and English Heritage (see What our students and alumni say).
The MA also provides an excellent spring-board for students wanting to do a PhD in art history or related disciplines.
The Buckingham MA was featured in an article in The Guardian on 4 March 2014: "Finding a graduate job in fine art can be tough, but a master's could help"
UK Study Trips
There are frequent trips to collections in and around London, and a study week at Buckingham exploring local country houses such as Woburn Abbey, Waddesdon Manor, Boughton and Blenheim Palace, with their important decorative arts collections.
Paris Study Week
In the second term there is a study week in Paris, where students are granted privileged access to some of the private apartments at Versailles not normally accessible to the public, as well as a number of very important eighteenth-century private houses in Paris, open by special permission.
Professional Practice Projects and Placements in Museums and Galleries
Students also have the opportunity, through the Professional Practice Project to plan an exhibition in a museum, research a project to restore an historic interior, or undertake a part-time museum placement, thereby acquiring useful vocational skills and experience. Some of our students are currently doing placements at English Heritage and Strawberry Hill.
Course Structure
The course starts each September and finishes the following September. During the first term students study the development of the decorative arts and the interior in France and England between c.1660 and the end of the eighteenth century. In the second term students examine revivalism and the practical and historical problems of reinterpreting eighteenth-century interiors and objects. This is combined with a professional practice project designed to equip students with skills and experience applicable to careers in museums and built heritage.
Teaching takes place two days a week (excluding class trips) over two terms, or one day a week for part-time students. During the third term, students research a dissertation under supervision, which is written up over the summer for submission at the end of September. Assessment is by means of coursework and the dissertation.
Subject to the agreement of the Programme Director, there are some options for part-time study, one day a week over two years, or by deferral of the dissertation.
Modules available on this course
- British Decorative Arts & Historic Interiors 1660-c.1790
- British Decorative Arts & Historic Interiors from c.1790
- French Decorative Arts & Historic Interiors 1660-c.1790

Charity Auction
Hal-Con's main fundraising event is our annual Charity Auction, held during the sci-fi and gaming convention weekend. This year we will have two separate auction events — a silent auction with bidding open Friday and Saturday, and a live auction that takes place on Saturday night.
Hal-Con is excited to support the IWK Health Center Foundation and Kids Help Phone— two great organizations that we're excited to support! Our fundraising efforts will be divided in half for these two charities. We send our donation to Kids Help Phone in the spring and present our cheque to the IWK Foundation at their annual telethon.
The IWK provides critical and specialized care to women, children, youth and families throughout the Maritimes. Our donation will be provided to the Foundation at their annual IWK Telethon, and will help purchase priority medical equipment, fund ground-breaking research and support special programs for patients and families. For more information about the IWK Foundation, take a look at their website at www.iwkfoundation.org.
Since 1989, Kids Help Phone has been Canada's only 24-hour, national phone and online counselling service for young people. With just a click or a call, young people from urban, rural and remote communities in Canada reach out to Kids Help Phone more than 5,000 times a week. Kids Help Phone's professional counsellors support the mental health and well-being of young people by providing one-on-one counselling, information and resources, online and by phone. Want to know more? Check out their website at www.kidshelpphone.ca.
Wondering what kinds of things can you expect to see in the auction? As members of the Halifax sci-fi scene, we're always on the lookout for cool and exciting items. We scour the internet and politely harass local artists and vendors throughout the year to request donations, and we'll have a few special items for signature by our guests too! Can't wait until convention weekend? Join our Facebook group page to see photos of auction donations as they are received throughout the year.
Do you wish to donate an item to the charity auction? Do you have a suggestion for potential auction items that we can request? Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'd love to hear from you.
Special Thanks – 2016
Special thanks to everyone who donated to our Charity Auction. We raised over $7500 for the IWK and Kids Help Phone! Please give these awesome folks a "like" if you can. 🙂
And thanks to everyone for coming out and bidding! Every bid helps!

Bill Clinton Driving
One day Bill Clinton is riding in his Limousine and he said to the driver, "You know, I used to love driving very much when I was young, and I haven't done it for a long time.
Why don't you let me drive for once." The driver thinks to him self, "Well I can't say no to this guy, he's the president." So the driver pulls over and they change places. Bill was having fun, zooming down the freeway, dodging and overtaking cars. After a while the driver taps on the window and tells Bill, "Mr President, slow down a bit. You're doing over a hundred and fifty miles an hour."
Bill says, "ahhh, don't worry about it, I'm the President." So he rolls up the window and continues to drive very fast. After a few moments he gets pulled over. The cop walks to the car and Bill rolls down the tinted window and says: "Do you know who I am?"
The cop sees the President and says, "oh, I, ehhh, sorry, can you hold on a minute?" Bill says, "sure" The cop walks back to his car and radios back to the station. He says, "guys I just pulled over some one very important, and I need advice on how to handle this."
They ask who, "The mayor?"
"No, much more important."
"The governor?" "more important."
"The President?" "No, even more important."
"Well, who can be more important than the President?"
"I don't know, but Bill Clinton is his chauffeur."
More Political Jokes
During a recent publicity outing, Hillary sneaked off to visit a fortune teller of some local reputation:
In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. As the mystic took her reading, she had a struck look on her face, looked up and said, "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."
Visibly shaken, Hillary stared at the woman's wrinkled face, then at the single flickering candle on the table. Looking aside for a moment, Hillary then looked back down to her wringing hands in her lap. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself and consider her question; she just had to know.
Hillary met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question: "Will I be acquitted?"
Once Bill Clinton decides to teach english to Laloo Yaadav.
For that purpose he comes to India and takes the former into a room. All the staff of clinton waits there for 3 months.
Atlast the door of the room opens and staff asks Clinton whether he succeeded or not. To this Clinton replies, "BABUA KUCH SAMAJTA HI NAHIN"
It was the first day of school and a new student, the son of a Japanese businessman, entered the fourth grade.
The teacher greeted the class and said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said "Give me liberty, or give me death?" She saw only a sea of blank faces, except for that of Toshiba, who had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775," said the boy.
"Now," said the teacher, "Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth?"
Again, no response except from Toshiba, "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
The teacher snapped at the class, "You should be ashamed. Toshiba, who is new to our country, knows more about it than you do." As she turned to write something on the blackboard, she heard a loud whisper, "Damned Japanese."
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Toshiba put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982," he said.
At that point, feeling completely disgusted by Toshiba's classroom superiority, a student in the back sighed, "I'm gonna throw up".
Teacher says, "Who said that?".
Again, Toshiba raises his hand and says, "George Bush to Japanese Prime Minister, 1991".
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Well suck my ...."
Once again, it's Toshiba with the answer, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997".

Border Waters & More
Border Waters Opener
As we swing into the opening of the South Dakota/Minnesota border waters, the anticipation of the first walleye opener of the season is intense but don't let your enthusiasm get the best of you....wait if you can. Most of the border openers are tough. Think about this past April. We had the worst April weather in decades as far as inconsistant temperatures. We had plenty of l8 degree nights with some days barely getting into the 20's. My advice: If at all possible, give Big Stone and Traverse about two weeks to warm up and the fishing will start to take off. Keep in mind the clear water phenomenon that has been happening on these waters as well. The water has turned so gin clear that the days of the decent daytime "bites" are few and far between. The action the past few years has been very predictable.....the first hour of evening darkness and the first hour at sunrise...that's about it.
Missouri River
My last run to the Missouri River recently was a tough one. My party actually hit the post-spawn walleye phase instead of the spawn phase meaning the walleyes had finished their spawn and dispersed into their early summer haunts. My trip previously was excellent as the walleyes were congregated along their spawning shorelines and easy to catch. We managed a walleye here and there and basically packed up and left for home early. This early Spring fishing is always a "timing" thing. Believe it or not, the water temperature was 42 degrees this last trip as compared to 47 a couple of weeks ago. The water actually has cooled off instead of warmed up. Lake Sharpe which is the next body of water just north of Lake Francis Case is really the place to be in late April and early May. This section of the Missouri River gets very little pressure in the south regions as compared to the northern regions near Pierre. For those looking to catch a ton of unpressured walleyes this Spring, head to Lake Sharpe. Many Minnesota anglers wishing to escape the crowds of the Minnesota Opener sneak over to Sharpe and have very few people to deal with and lots of hungry, roaming walleyes...think about it as an alternative this Opener.
Swing Tongue
This is the first boat trailer I have ever owned with a swing tongue. This little device actually tucks the tongue portion of your trailer to the inside of the frame to allow extra clearance in your garage. Better yet, I don't slam my shins into the receiver any more now that it is tucked away. I bet I smack my shins a dozen times every season trying to step over the tongue. Many dealers can add swing tongues as an aftermarket feature on most trailers.....just another thing I just got to have !
Minnesota Opener
I still am holding off on any decisions on where to open the 2007 season. My clients are getting impatient with me because I just don't feel comfortable making a decision until the last possible days. This April weather has me concerned because it has affected the South Dakota fishing and what happens there usually follows here in Minnesota. In a nutshell, you can bet my lake choice will be very shallow, windswept and dark water versus the large, clear lakes. I don't see the water temperatures anywhere near the acceptable range when May 12 arrives.

Paul Merson
Football Expert & Columnist @PaulMerse
Merson's predictions: Manchester United to lose again, Arsenal to keep pressure on Leicester
Last Updated: 26/12/15 3:14pm
Paul Merson is tipping Stoke to pile the pressure on Manchester United and for Arsenal to underline their title credentials with a win over Southampton.
In his weekly predictions column, Merse also predicts Chelsea's turnaround will continue against an in-form Watford, and believes table-topping Leicester will be held to a draw at Liverpool.
The Magic Man sees goals galore at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth welcome Crystal Palace, but thinks Norwich will come back down to earth with a bump at White Hart Lane following their big win over Man United last weekend.
Stoke City v Manchester United (Boxing Day, 12.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 HD)
It's a must-win game for Louis van Gaal, but I don't see them doing it. Stoke are a decent team, and they don't let in a lot of goals at the Britannia Stadium.
I can't remember a United run of form this bad in recent memory and it's not just that, it's who they're losing to. You can understand if you're losing against Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City. But, and no disrespect to either team, they are losing to Bournemouth and Norwich now.
The best United can hope for is 1-1, and that could be a struggle. I don't like going against Stoke at home, they tend to keep a lot of clean sheets, and I'm going with a win for the Potters again.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (10/1 with Sky Bet)
Manchester City v Sunderland (Boxing Day, 3pm)
City aren't convincing at the moment but they need to keep going. I thought they played well in patches against Arsenal, but they didn't really hurt the Gunners. You can't say Petr Cech was making saves left, right and centre, and I think City have to win this one after that result.
Sunderland just keep on having hard game after hard game. I can't remember the last time they had an easy one! It's just the way it has worked out, and they are going to come around eventually.
I know Sunderland need a win as well, but City just have to get the three points here.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Aston Villa v West Ham (Boxing Day, 3pm)
Remi Garde says they need 10 wins from 21 games? I reckon Man United would do well to do that! I don't mean that in a horrible way, but I just don't see Villa doing it. That's a lot of wins, they've only won once all season, and at the moment I can't see Villa winning a football match.
West Ham have had some real injury problems, I know they haven't won for a while either, but they've got a bit of an excuse there.
Even with players out, though, I'm still struggling to see a Villa victory so I'm going for the draw.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (9/2 with Sky Bet)
Bournemouth v Crystal Palace (Boxing Day, 3pm)
Bournemouth are doing great. They might feel like they had to win those games over Chelsea and United with the matches they've got coming up. Anything over Christmas for them will be an absolute bonus now.
Palace are good, and there will be bundles of goals in this one. Both teams can score, Bournemouth love to attack at home, and Palace have been great on their travels.
It should be end-to-end stuff, but the away side have just that little bit more in the final third, so I'm going with a Palace win in a five-goal thriller.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-3 (33/1 with Sky Bet)
Chelsea v Watford (Boxing Day, 3pm)
Watford absolutely took Liverpool apart last week, and they are going along brilliantly. Chelsea played quite well against Sunderland, but it was a couple of days too late for Jose Mourinho.
I've been so impressed with the Hornets. Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney have been great, but I think this might be a game too far for them. John Terry and Kurt Zouma or Terry and Gary Cahill, whatever the combination, it is a lot different to anything Liverpool could put out at the back.
I expect Chelsea to win at home, and I'd be shocked if they didn't despite Watford's good form.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Liverpool v Leicester (Boxing Day, 3pm)
This is a perfect game for Leicester. Liverpool are struggling like mad at home and I think the Foxes will get a result at Anfield.
Their style won't help Liverpool at all because Leicester will sit back, soak it up and they'll catch them on the counter attack. Liverpool are so vulnerable to that at the moment, and they seem to be missing that guile to break teams down too.
I just can't see Leicester losing this game, I've watched them a lot this season and I think this is another match that they'll catch their opponents on the break.
If this game was at the King Power Stadium, I'd definitely be going with Leicester, but as it's at Anfield, I'm going with a score draw.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
Swansea v West Brom (Boxing Day, 3pm)
It was a stupid tackle by James McClean and it sold his West Brom team-mates down the river against Bournemouth, but Saido Berahino could get his chance now. Bournemouth were still the better team that day, and it was a thoroughly deserved win.
Swansea played well against West Ham last week without winning the game, and it was a similar story against City the week before. It's going to be a hard game at the Liberty Stadium, and West Brom usually don't lose these types of matches.
Tony Pulis sets his team up well, and he nicks points here and there. Still, I'm going with a home win, which is unusual because Tony is very good at not getting beat, but I think Swansea's luck might change.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (7/1 with Sky Bet)
Tottenham v Norwich (Boxing Day, 3pm)
That win over Southampton after losing to Newcastle was Tottenham all over. They get to a certain point and then drop off, but fair play to them, they bounced back really quickly against the Saints. That was a big result.
Now they need to consolidate their position in the top four by winning against Norwich. If they do that, then I think they will really go on from there.
Norwich had a massive result at Old Trafford, and they may feel like they've got the game-plan for results away from home now, but I don't think Tottenham will play as badly as United did.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (5/1 with Sky Bet)
Newcastle v Everton (Boxing Day, 5.30pm)
Everton let in goals, and they throw points away left, right and centre so this should be an exciting game.
Newcastle couldn't afford to lose to Villa, and that draw keeps Villa out of the way. It wasn't the worst result considering the wins they got over Tottenham and Liverpool. If you looked at it as a package, seven points out of nine, Steve McClaren would have taken that.
It's hard to back Everton at the moment because even when they play well, like against Norwich, they end up drawing. I expect Romelu Lukaku to score again on Boxing Day, but he's got a couple of hard games coming up. Everton make plenty of chances each game, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he got very close to Jamie Vardy's record.
I'm going with a draw, but if I had to pick a winner, I'd go Everton because if they play to their ability they'll win this game.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Southampton v Arsenal (Boxing Day, 7.45pm)
I don't see Southampton getting worse, Ronald Koeman will go to work on the training ground and they will get better. This will be like a cup final for the Saints, they will be desperate to beat Arsenal, and you can bet your bottom dollar they won't play like they have over the last few weeks.
But for Arsenal, these are the games that win you the league titles and without a doubt Mesut Ozil is in the form of his Arsenal career right now. He's always been top drawer, but now the others are starting to get on his wavelength and I'm backing them to win again here.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 (16/1 with Sky Bet)
There's another £250,000 up for grabs in Soccer Saturday Super 6. All you have to do is predict the scores of six selected matches. It's free to play so get your entry in before 3pm on Saturday for the chance to win.

Myrtle Beach Downtown redevelopment group searching for ways to increase revenue
If something doesn't change within the next year, Myrtle Beach's Downtown Redevelopment Corp. will be broke, the group's executive director said.
"We're going to be broke next year," DRC Executive Director David Sebok said Wednesday during a meeting with members of the Oceanfront Merchants Association. "We go $210,000 in the hole next year if something doesn't happen. ... What you and the DRC board has been told for the last three years is all we have is parking meter revenues. And it's not growing."
The DRC approved a budget June 11 where it is expected to spend $2.4 million next fiscal year, which begins July 1, and has estimated its revenue at almost $1.5 million. Almost $1.2 million of that revenue is expected to come from parking meters and pay stations.
There are 1,861 parking meters and 18 pay stations in commercial areas on and near Ocean Boulevard from 29th Avenue South to 75th Avenue North.
In the 2013-2014 fiscal year, nearly $1.2 million is expected to be collected from parking. The DRC expected to collect $1.1 million from parking revenues in fiscal year 2011-2012. Nearly $974,000 had been collected by May 31, 2012, according to budget documents provided to The Sun News.
DRC Chairman Chuck Martino said he's warned board members the past few years that they can't keep spending money the way they have been.
"If we don't bring in more revenue or reduce expenses, [it will cause problems]," he told DRC board members during their June 11 meeting. "For revenues, you have meters that have a flat rate that's available to them. The only way to increase revenue [at meters] would be if City Council decides to raise meter rates."
Parking rates increased 25 cents to $1.50 per hour at short-term meters with the 2012 season when meters went in service that March. Long-term parking rates also increased 25 cents to $1 per hour. The DRC collected about $896,000 in parking revenue in fiscal year 2010-2011, the last full fiscal year at the lower rate.
"Now essentially with flat revenues and because of increased private sector competition, we're expecting a pretty flat revenue stream for the years coming ahead," Sebok said.
Sebok said the DRC also used to have profitable partnerships with private parking lots that allowed the group to bring in additional revenues between 2007 and 2012. That additional revenue could be set aside in a fund balance, of which some has been used to pay for things the DRC needs or wants.
"We've been funding all of these things through the profit that we have built up years ago," Sebok said.
Increasing revenue
The DRC has been trying to generate enough support to encourage City Council members to create a municipal improvement district in the downtown area.
Sebok said he understands, however, that council may be reluctant to impose an additional tax increase on those in the downtown area after increasing property taxes for all city residents by 3 mills to 69.1. The tax increase, which would raise about $900,000, will pay for the salaries, benefits, equipment and training of 10 new police officers that would patrol the waterfront area and the south end of the city.
If a MID were created, owners of land and commercial businesses, including rented residential properties, would pay more in taxes for a number of years. That money would, in turn, be earmarked for use only on an approved list of projects that benefit the DRC.
DRC members have suggested projects ranging from building new parking garages to reconfiguring roads at Five Points – where U.S. 501 becomes Main Street and converges with Kings Highway – to purchasing blighted or vacant property.
Sebok said money collected through the MID would free up money in the group's budget and enable them to do more capital improvements and enhance services.
But some council members have expressed concerns with increasing taxes any more.
"If I was a DRC member, I would want a MID," Councilman Philip Render said. "As a City Council member I'm not interested in levying more taxes on property owners in that district."
Councilman Michael Chestnut also said several property owners have called him and other council members expressing their disapproval over raising property taxes downtown through a MID.
DRC members formed a committee to solicit feedback from property owners in the downtown area and have said they hope to present a proposal to City Council by the end of the summer.
Street improvements
When the DRC learned that a planned project improving the streetscape and burying utilities along Ocean Boulevard from Second Avenue North to Ninth Avenue North would be pushed back at least two years due to city budget constraints, board members voted to increase the group's financial support.
Sebok said the group already planned to contribute a total of $291,000 toward the city's nearly $10 million project. The board voted to increase that support to about $800,000 over the next three years to keep the project on schedule.
"The people in the south area were expecting these improvements," Sebok said, adding that Ocean Boulevard improvements have been completed in all other areas of the DRC. The DRC area includes the area from Sixth Avenue South to 16th Avenue North, from the Atlantic Ocean to Oak Street and Broadway Street.
The two-year project will include refurbishing water and sewer lines and installing new sidewalks, curbs and gutters, assistant city manager Ron Andrews said, as well as putting overhead utilities underground.
City staff is putting the documents in order with plans to put it out for a bid in time for a contractor begin work in September, Andrews said. Work would be done between Labor Day and Easter, he said.
That was an additional expense DRC members hadn't expected.
"That section of the boulevard is where there's some interest in redevelopment occurring and we don't want to do anything to hinder that," Andrews said. "If the private property folks are wanting to redevelop in that area the public infrastructure around it should be ready for them."
The DRC appropriated $315,000 in fiscal year 2014-2015 toward the project, with another $315,000 the following year and $170,000 the year after.
Making cuts
But spending that additional money was one of the factors that led the DRC to make some cuts, including decreasing it's financial support of the Oceanfront Merchants Association by $90,000.
OMA, which was created by a number of Ocean Boulevard area businesses shortly after the closing of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion in 2006, hosts a number of events and festivals throughout the year.
Next fiscal year OMA will receive about $173,000 from the DRC toward its nearly $780,000 in expenses during the calendar year. DRC funded OMA at $280,000 in the 2013-2014 fiscal year. DRC gave OMA $296,000 in fiscal year 2012-2013 and $330,000 in fiscal 2011-2012 according to budget documents.
When considering its budget, Sebok recommended and board members agreed that the DRC contribute up to 25 percent of the costs to organizations seeking funds to hold special events in the downtown area.
DRC points to OMA as an example of businesses owners coming together to improve the experiences of those visiting the downtown area, and Sebok said DRC hopes to also improve things in blighted parts of town, such as the south mixed-used area from Second Avenue North to Seventh Avenue North between Kings Highway and the Atlantic Ocean.
"We could always say that taking care of the south end and revitalizing down there is no longer a priority and we are just going to worry about special events," Martino said during the June 11 meeting.
The DRC also pulled money from its business interruption fund, which would be used to cover necessary costs in case of a hurricane or other "devastating event" that damaged the area.
"In order to balance the budget we decreased the amount of money in the fund from $330,000 to $125,000 to maintain the level of enchanced services and meet our [financial] obligations with the city for major capital improvements," Sebok said.
Annual expenses
While parking is the DRC's largest revenue generator, managing it also is the group's largest annual expense.
In the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the DRC expects to spend about $371,000 on the day-to-day costs of operating the meters, including the labor, materials and equipment.
They expect to spend nearly $350,000 on meter management when this fiscal year ends in June, and spent $354,000 in the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
In addition to the funds projected for Ocean Boulevard streetscape improvements at $315,000, they will spend $247,000 in salary and personnel costs for its two full-time employees – Sebok and an executive assistant.
The budget plans for about $137,000 to be spent on restrooms – both to maintain a new permanent facility set to open this summer and renovate a restroom trailer – and $100,000 on boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard services.
Sebok said that money is spent to maintain the level of cleanliness and safety that visitors expect.
"Visitors to any place want and expect and notice a sense of cleanliness, safety and enjoyable activities," he said. "These public amenities need maintenance and they're not your typical sidewalk or boardwalk or streetscape. ... The intensity of use combined with the harsh physical – salt, sun and wind – mandates that we provide these enhanced services."

The train, top, rattles, and the nested toys..
I used to love my childhood toys, the lakka pidatalu I used to call them, the cooking set, the touch of color. Those were the toys from Etikoppaka. A wonderful place. I once heard about an organization which collects unused or used and stored-away toys for children in orphanages, slums, etc. and felt okay, why do we need to do that.. why dont we gather books, clothes, or money and get them educated. How wrong was I ? When I see the glow in my daughter's eyes when she sees or plays with a toy, when I see the school kids come play with my daughter wholeheartedly with her toys and feel really really grateful for that, I realize why. That is CHILDHOOD, the joy, the unadulterated happiness that comes with small pleasures, toys, that is... I have decided that I would go ahead and give away all the kid's toys once she grows up keeping just a couple of them for keepsake.
Toy selection is a huge task, but the traditional wooden toys made out of non-toxic tree dyes, and vegetable dyes are the ones that I prefer for the kiddo apart from the whole range of educational toys from Fisher-Price or Funskool.
On one hand, it would be like encouraging the handicrafts of India and on the other, it is good for her to chew on or play with which she does most of the times and yeah they are washable too..
I got her first rattle from Kalanjali, a bit too expensive is what I felt later on when I got the same from the local exhibition the other day for another kid... the rattle that cost me 150 at Kalanjali, cost me just 25 in the exhibition. Was there any difference, minimal if any. So, I would say, do visit those handicraft exhibitions and help the craftsman rather than feed the already rich mall owners.
Also, I personally prefer wooden/cloth toys rather than the plastic ones.. green parenting :).. but you can ask me what is green about cutting down the trees and making them into toys... point!! BUT I would rather have my kid lick/suck/bite on non-toxic dye toys than the plastic ones, which can cause lead poisoning or something like that.
The nested Indian dolls... the set of 6 nested in each other, love this one..
I remember playing with mud, sand, pebbles when I was a kid storing them in each doll :). However, for the LO I take out the last 3 and give the remaining set, 'cos I am a little scared she might choke on them. It is very much affordable too 150/- I would say is a steal for the amount of work put in for this one... and yes, the train cost me 180/-, the long rattle 25/-, and the round rattle was from Kalaanjali that cost me 150/-... and guess what the tiny toy in the first pic is, it is a top :) at 10/-. How lucky LO is, I remember the days when I used to make a top or get one made by my granny used black clay and a broom stick stem (cheepuru pulla).. but yeah, the joy of a hand-made top is altogether different :).
PS: Originally posted in my personal blog, I paste it here 'cos it might be a reference material :).
