What is Eid Al-Adha ?ISLAM
The Festival of Sacrifice, Eid-al-Adha, immediately follows the Day of Arafat. Although only the pilgrims in Mecca can participate in the Hajj fully, all the other Muslims in the world join with them by celebrating Eid Al-Adha, or "Celebration of Sacrifice."
On the 10th day of Zul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the world celebrate this feast of commitment, obedience and self sacrifice to Allah. This festival is celebrated throughout the Muslim world as a commemoration of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice everything for God, including the life of his son Ishmael.
Because God spared Ishmael, substituting a sheep in his stead, Muslims commemorate this occasion by slaughtering an animal and distributing its meat among family, friends and the needy as a special act of charity for the occasion. Because of this, many poor Muslims are able to enjoy the unusual luxury of eating meat during the four days of the festival.
They wear their nicest clothing and attend Salatul-Eid (Eid Prayer) in the morning. This is followed by a short sermon, after which everyone socializes. Next, people visit each other's homes and partake in festive meals with special dishes, beverages, and desserts. Children receive gifts and sweets on this happy occasion. In addition, like the pilgrims in Makkah, the Muslims, who can afford to do so, offer domestic animals, usually sheep, as a symbol of Ibrahim's sacrifice. The meat is distributed for consumption to family, friends, and to the poor and needy.
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up
every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. I
publish below a description of use of water for the readers. For old and
serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had
been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for
the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy,
excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine
diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation,
all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and
throat diseases.
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml
glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink
anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water
at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually
increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and
others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to
cure/control/ reduce main diseases
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Gastric - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days
in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement
of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine
work in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their
meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit
while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold
water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will
slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be
absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the
intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is
best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every
heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
What a sentiment and a belief.......................???????????GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
A Man has married a dog to atone for his 'sin' of killing two dogs 15 years ago.

A local astrologer had said he can be cured of his physical impairment if he atoned for killing those two dogs by marrying a female dog.So Selvakumar got his relatives to find a stray bitch, which was given a bath and draped in a saree.
Selvakumar and Selvi then marched in a procession to the temple where selvakumar tied the thaali around the dog's neck.While the bride-groom and his relatives had a sumptuous meal the bridal dog was given a bun.
Internally Displaced Persons from Northern Province in PuttlamHELP, INCIDENTS
A Field Visit to Puttlam:
by Dushiyanthini Kanagasabapathipillai
Puttlam district is situated on the coastal belt of North Western Province of Sri Lanka. Its total population is 8,14,000. Sinhala population is 5,85,000, Muslim population is 1,49,000, and Tamil population is 80,000. There are currently 75,000 Internally Displaced Persons from Northern Province in Puttlam. These statistics are from a survey carried out by the District Secretariat of Puttlam.
The Muslims of Jaffna were forced to leave by the LTTE in October 1990. LTTE made announcements over loud speakers that, Muslim should assemble at Jinnah Grounds of Osmania College by twelve noon on October 30th 1990. And the LTTE went from house to house, and made sure they attend the meeting. The message was conveyed to the Muslims of Jaffna by the then LTTE commander of Jaffna Anjaneyar (who was also known as Ilamparithy), all the Muslims in Jaffna peninsula have to leave in two hours. This was an order by the high command, and neither more explanation was given nor questions were answered. Any Muslim who fails to leave Jaffna will be punished, said clearly by the LTTE.
Muslims lived in Pombaiveli, Sonakaththeru, Beach road and Chavakachcheri. The Muslims who were living happily in Jaffna have started to pack and leave. But they were stopped and checked by the male and female cadres of the LTTE during their journey. The Muslims were allowed to carry only Rs. 150/=. Other items were confiscated by the LTTE. Muslims from Jaffna district were given only two hours to leave the peninsula, whereas the Muslims from Mannar, Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi districts were given few days to leave. They left their houses and moved to Puttlam by boats, buses, tractors, and lorries. As a result there were approximately 85,000 Muslims who were expelled by the LTTE from Northern districts.
Most of the Internally Displaced Persons are living in thatched houses, and are frustrated about staying there for more than 17 years. They lack the normal living standard of an average Muslim. They are very frustrated about the ration, which is irregular. The dry ration per person includes 5kilograms of rice, ½ kilogram of dhal, 1 kilogram of flour, 1 kilogram of sugar and a cake of soap. They complain that, these are not given at regular intervals. Sometimes they get the ration in every two months, and some other time in every four months.
The Internally Displaced Persons say that, they cannot depend on the ration. Women go the agriculture fields and earn Rs. 200/= per day. They need Rs. 40/= as up and down bus fare. They have to manage the balance Rs. 160/= for their family. The men go for fishing or day labourer, but they are not paid well either. And they have to compete with the host community.
The older generation of course is dreaming of going back to their home towns. But the younger generation does not want to return, because they have adopted to a new lifestyle, and unable to adjust if they go back.
Many voices were heard during the visit. The largest concentration of Internally Displaced Persons from Jaffna district are living in Thillaiyady. It is a small village occupied by the Muslims from Jaffna district. It's called "Little Jaffna". Everybody in Thillaiyady spoke typical Jaffna Tamil. Nobody wants to say that, they got displaced; instead they want to say that, they were evicted. They continued to languish in abysmal conditions.
Muslims from other three districts are spread out in Nuraichcholai and Katpity. The resettled villages have separate small houses made of hard board or wood or mud. Very dark inside; they pay Rs.20,000/= to get electricity. Cadjan fences give a village touch to the houses.
The Internally Displaced Persons say that, the Politicians make a lot of promises during their election campaigns, but once the election is over, they always become broken promises. And they have no hope; they have learnt to live with what is available.
Youngsters have no nostalgia for Jaffna
Rameez Sajath
"I was two year-old child when I left Jaffna in 1990. I can't recall anything. I went back to Jaffna in 2005 by bus on A9. I was happy to see my parents' birth place. My father is currently in Jaffna, who does business. I got used to a different lifestyle, and very difficult to go back to Jaffna and live there. I have finished my G.C.E. (A/L)- General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level), and awaiting results. I have almost settled down here, will not go back to Jaffna to live" said Rameez Sajath (19), who lives in Thillaiyady- Puttlam.
I met few women who got expelled from Jaffna in October 1990. These women are from Moors Street in Jaffna, now living in Sathamiyapuram in Thillaiyady. There are 365 families-1,825 members are living in these temporary shelters. They find it very difficult to manage, because of language barrier, and cultural change. Some shelters have more than family. Toilets are shared; wells are common.Children complain about discrimination at school among the children from host community and IDP community.
Pushed to poverty
Fareena Fariz
"This is not my land. My land is Jaffna. I like to go back to Jaffna to live, if the situation improves. I have three sons, and two daughters. I went to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi as a house maid to earn a stable income for my family. I worked abroad for eight years. My husband died a year ago, and after his death I could not leave my children and go back to earn. I live in a thatched house, and have no way to settle my daughters, who are 17 and 19 years old. Because the groom side demands a huge amount as dowry. And I do not have any money or belongings to give my daughters in marriage" lamented Fareena Fariz (41)
Neighbours left
Ameera Iyub Khan
"I went back to Jaffna during the peace time. But most of my Tamil neighbours have already left the area because of fierce fighting. My house was in rubble. I gathered nothing, except anger, desperation, frustration and hatredness. If my house was intact and the neighbours were there, I would have thought to stay there" said Ameer Iyub Khan (40)
Education abandoned
Nazreena Fowzy
"My family lost everything due to displacement. We have hidden the jeweleries in a thermos flask, and in the folds of clothes, which we were wearing during the journey. But all were confiscated by the LTTE cadres. I was 17 year old, when displaced. My parents managed to send me to school in Puttlam, and I have finished my education. But most parents found it difficult to let their children to continue their education. Because they were pushed to poverty after displacement; forced to stay in camps; and they were jobless; and could not afford to send their children to school.
The children who were displaced had to face discrimination at schools. I was not allowed to take part in any sports or extra curricular activities. Our talents were wasted" said Nazreena Fowzy (34) who is pre-school supervisor.
Called Refugee
Hasana Farwin
"I was eight year -old, when we had to leave. I was crying throughout the journey from Jaffna to Puttlam. My other family members tease me about it even now. I will not go back to Jaffna, because I am used to this place and people, and it's very hard for me to go back and adjust. The Internally Displaced Persons are still called "Agathi" or refugee by the host community. We did not choose to be Internally Displaced Persons. Even the National Identity card has house number and camp address instead of our home town address" said Hasana Farwin (24).
I met another set of females in a resettlement village known as Karambai A Camp. They got expelled from Mannar in October 1990. There are 450 families-2250 members living in this village. They are faced with similar problems as Sathamiyapuram people.
We have no hatred feelings
Ramzia Muththalif
"I do not hate Tamils. Tamils and Muslims lived in harmony before 1990. Even after we got expelled, we have no hatred feelings towards the Tamils. They were not responsible for the expulsion. We gave refugee to Tamils from Periya Kadai, Sinna Kadai, Ezhuththoor, Thaalappaadu and Pallimunai during the heavy shelling and bombing in 1989 and 1990 in Mannar. They stayed with us. We gave them food and accommodation. Tamils and Muslims have had a very good understanding" said Ramzia Muththalif (38), who got expelled from Thaaraapuram in Mannar.
Frustration grows
Kasina Umma
"I will go back to my home town, if the LTTE gives a guarantee internationally that "Muslims will be safe in North, and we will not hassle them in the future". I used to live in fear, while the fighting was going on between the Sri Lankan security forces and the LTTE. During the war I used to manage with one kerosene lamp to cook, then keep it off, and light the lamp again only while eating. Because kerosene was at scarce. We were caught in the middle. If any incident happened near our house, we would be targeted. I did not allow my children to shout, laugh, play or cry. Whenever I heard the noise of someone walking outside the house, I immediately clung and closed everybody's mouths and asked them to keep quiet. Because if any noise was heard, the warring parties would come to my house to ask questions and search. I have suffered enough during the war†mentioned Kasina Umma (55).Her frustration was visible in her voice. She left Silavaththurai in 1990.
Tamil-Muslim relationship
Juwariya Uvais
"I am very worried about the relationship between the Tamils and Muslims. Before the displacement, Tamils and Muslims shared a lot and had a lot in common. But the displacement made a huge gap, which is growing. I wonder who is going to fill the yawning gap between these two communities. Muslims attended the weddings, funerals, house warming ceremonies, age attaining ceremonies and various other ceremonies of the Tamils before displacement, and Tamils attended similar function of Muslims. Now we hardly attend any ceremonies of this nature. I am very saddened about the current trend, which will lead us nowhere except for more misunderstandings between the communities.
Muslims from the North spoke the same Tamil which is spoken by the Tamil brothers and sisters. I called my father "Appa", like the Tamils call their fathers. I never called my father "Vaappaa" just like Muslims call their fathers. We lived like own brothers and sisters. I am looking forward to a day, when Tamils and Muslims will forgive each other and forget the bitter past, and live as one family. That will be the most happiest day in my life" tearfully said Juwariya Uvais. She got expelled from Erukkalampitty.
Loss of identity
Nusra Shariff
"I was 13 year-old, when I was expelled along with my family from Thaaraapuram in Mannar. I have lost my cultural identity due to displacement. Women were not allowed leave the house and go on their own in Northern areas. Women are allowed to go out on their own here. I think that, it has been the tradition for several decades in the North, and I find it quite difficult to accept it and change myself accordingly" said Nusra Shariff (30).
Future of children
Thaslima Sajun
"I have three children, who were born in Puttlam. They do not know anything about the ancestral house. I wanted to take them to Mannar to show the culture I followed. But the situation does not permit to take them and stay there for a while. These children will grow up without knowing the values of our culture and tradition. And on the other hand I do not want to take any risk, and go and settle in Mannar, because of their education" said Thaslima Sajun (32), who also was expelled from Thaaraapuram in Mannar. She is Montessori school teacher.
I met a woman who was expelled from Mankumbaan Islet in Jaffna. She now resides in Karambai A camp.
Afraid to return
Jemila Sherifdeen
"I was expelled from my house with my husband and two children-1 ½ year old and 3 ½ year old. Someone arranged a vehicle for us to go. We came to Puliyankulam, Vavuniya and Puttlam. It took three days for us to reach Puttlam. Initially I was in a camp along with the others. Food and immediate needs were met by various organizations. I went back to Jaffna in 2005. But my house was in debris; and surrounded by the military. I am too frightened to return and settle down in Jaffna" said Jemila Sherifdeen (43)

Beware of evil minded photographersGENERAL KNOWLEDGE
Be alert! You could be the next victim of the latest menace in town! Whether you are travelling on public transport, relaxing in a hotel room or answering a nature's call in office make sure there are no mobile phones around!
You could be starring in an 'x-rated video clip' sold at Rs. 80 on the pavement.
Filming and photographing obscene activities through mobile phones and selling under an 'x-rated label' has become a growing business in the country.
The bitter truth about this terrifying story is that the video clips or photographs are mainly used to black mail the victims by their lovers and colleagues. In many instances the video clips and photographs were transferred to other mobile phones or copied to CDs that are sold for Rs.80-Rs.100 on the pavement.
High-end video clips
Talk to ten guys with mobile phones with blue tooth facilities, they will explain everything about the famous Vihara maha devi park clip, Ruhunu campus one or the tuition class video . Then there are high-end video clips such as HSBC, Sri Lankan Airlines and the latest Dialog photographs that were widely circulated through email. (Although these titles have nothing to do with the companies, these video clips and photographs are known by these names).
According to the Police the first ever complaint of this nature was lodged in February this year. The victim, a married woman, who was trying to end her extra marital relationship, was black mailed by her paramour. The woman was threatened by her lover several times claiming he will send pictures of them making love, to her husband. Despite the threats the woman ended the affair. A few days later, as promised, her husband received a bunch of photographs. The woman has told the police that her paramour took the pictures using his mobile phone while the two were having sex.
lovers take revenge on their ex-sweethearts , colleagues at work use their sophisticated mobile phones to destroy the reputation of their fellow competitors.
Photographs of a young lady making love with her boyfriend, which were on her own mobile phone, were forwarded to her clients by office colleagues. The pictures were widely circulated via email as well.
A young tele-drama actress who appears in several popular music videos was filmed while undressing in a hotel room with a male partner. In the video clip the actress asks 'her friend' whether he is filming but the man smiles and denies but continues to film her undressing using his phone.
If you think it's only the guys who are upto this kind of cheap mischief, well you are wrong. Video clips as well as photographs of contestants in a dressing room, of the recently held
Sirasa Kumariya beauty pageant were passed on from one mobile phone to another with great demand. According to informed sources, the much sought after film was done by a contestant itself, using her mobile phone.
In another instance, a man who was filming his neighbour, a lady bathing by a well was caught and beaten by villagers. The lady considering the social stigma refused to complain to the Police.
Favourite locations
Parks, Tuition classes, Universities and some of the Office environments seem to be favourite locations for these mobile phone adult film makers. Video clips and photographs of lovers and pretty girls in revealing clothes are found aplenty. It is not only the innocent lovers who cannot afford hotel rooms who are victims of such shameful actions.
The high end ladies and gentlemen answering calls of nature in well reputed hotel wash rooms were also filmed using mobile phones and circulated to other phones with much demand. The most awful video clip could be the one taken in a Bus, by a man seated, filming from under the uniform of an innocent school girl standing next to him. The video clip suddenly ends when the girl finally notices what the man had been doing.
As innocent girls become victims of sick perverts, young school boys are gradually becoming die hard fans of these easily available 'local obscene films'. LAKBIMA NEWS learns that
a leading boys' school in Colombo was experiencing long toilet queues during the interval. However, later it was found that the long queues were to enjoy obscene video clips on a mobile phone that would be viewed for a mere Rs.10. Students with mobile phones were earning a good sum of money by selling their 'film clips' to other students.
According to the Bureau for the Prevention of Abuse of Children and Women, the second case against this type of offense was made two weeks ago by an 18-year-old girl in Kurunegala. Just like in previous incidents, her lover had filmed them making love and then black mailed her when she wanted to break up with him. OIC C.I. Balachandran of the Bureau says the police has taken necessary action against the offenders and has filed reports in the High Courts. According to him, if found guilty,
the victims will be sentenced to a minimum of seven years and a maximum of 20 years imprisonment for 'Sexual Abuse of Women' . However, according to him, other than the two complaints, the Bureau has not raided any compact discs containing such obscene activities filmed through mobile phones. "We conducted several raids during the past couple of weeks but have not found anything like that," said the OIC.
Immediate action
Meanwhile, the need to amend the existing anti-pornography law in order to bring filming on mobile phones under control and make it a punishable offense is widely discussed at present.
"The Telecommunications Act 25/96 only deals with frequencies and spectrums," says Kanchana Ratwatte, Director General of the Telecommu-nication Regulatory Commission (TRC). "The TRC does not have authority to take legal measures against such offenses. But under the general penal code this is a punishable offense," notes Ratwatte. "But, if required TRC can amend existing laws and attend to misdeeds of this nature provided that we receive the necessary man power and other resources," he added. Be it amending laws, filing reports or conducting proper raids, some action needs to be taken immediately. If not this thriving business will continue to destroy many more lives of innocent children and women in this country.
Another important thing to say, In present most of the media groups (like Maharaja) organizing their programs to destroy minds of youth generation as well as others. So the people in the society were forced to do these kinds of things. Then we should consider about this reason when we find solution for that.

Instead, "If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads."
Following up from yesterday…
One time, in my last job, I was traveling on business in Las Vegas. We weren't doing any of the gambling or any of that stuff that goes on there, we were working for a client at his trade show (there are loads of trade shows in Vegas. It's apparently the global capital of trade shows), and to cut costs we were staying at a small non-casino hotel way off the beaten path. We needed to get back to our hotel, so we grabbed a cab from the convention center and told the driver where we were going.
He cussed and complained about how cheap people were who stayed at that hotel, and proceeded to berate us all the way to the hotel about how all those folks were so cheap. My associate and I just sat in shock as this guy unloaded on us. Now my boss wasn't with us on this ride, but I thought to myself, since I was traveling on his nickel with his money, what would he do. He was, and is, one of the wisest men I know, and I decided to do something I think he might.
When we stopped at the hotel and got our bags and such and left the cab, I paid him the 10 or 12 dollars that the cab ride cost… and then… I gave him a $20.00 tip. He apologized, he felt horrible, it was his last call of the night, he'd had a rough day, and apologized more. I told him to not sweat it, that not everybody was cheap, and that I hoped his night would improve.
Now, maybe for a moment I heaped burning coals on his head, but the end result was even cooler… I probably took the worst day of his week and redeemed it, for only twenty bucks.
God, help us to always realize that whatever is going on around us with other people is hard, and sometimes sad, and tragic. Especially those who are unkind to us, Lord, would you love them through us, because we can't do it ourselves.

today's to-do list
This just about sums it up.
Today, (Thursday), was a really good day. I got to teach with some of my favorite people today. And I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.
I am very excited because I do not have a teaching job tomorrow (Friday). It will be a perfect start to what I pray will be the perfect weekend. I do not have much planned for the weekend. JP and I are hanging out and having dinner at some friends' house Friday night. Saturday and Sunday are OPEN. I always love that. Of course Saturday we'll watch our Gamecocks play! Other than that, if the weather is nice, I hope to get "out and about" around town.
Now is a good time to send a public SHOUT OUT to all of my amazing friends (you know who you are) who messaged me yesterday afternoon. I took JP to the park after work. My phone was going dead, so I turned it off for a while and left it in my car. I turned it back on when we got back in the car to leave and it blew up with text and Facebook messages from some of the most awesome people in my life. Some shot me scripture. Several just said "hello, I am thinking about you." And others just told me they loved me. And those are the VERY BEST kind of messages. The kind that are unprompted. Unexpected. "Just because" messages.
It made my heart feel really good.
It seems silly that a girl who lives in a house with FIVE other people could be lonely. But, the circumstances I am living in can be VERY lonely at times. I think that's common for anyone who has experienced a trauma or loss in their life. You are left feeling very alone. There are days when you look around and realize that there are very few people who know how you feel and what you have been through. You are alone.
This is why days like today are so special to me. The feelings of loneliness do not last long. God is always faithful to whisper sweet words of encouragement into your ear through the mouths of your friends and family.
Every night I post a quote of some kind on Facebook. Last night's quote said, "I just want to feel pretty." Doesn't every girl want to feel pretty? Well, thanks to my guys and girls this afternoon, I didn't just feel pretty, I felt beautiful. Without any of them saying those words. They didn't have to.
Actions speak MUCH louder than words. Thank you guys.

THE paper company set up by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 1999, Ample Rich Investments Ltd, has not only been involved in questionable stock transactions, its address in Singapore is also a source of mystery..
Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and fellow MP Sirichoke Sopha flew to Singapore over the weekend to visit the address of Ample Rich. They suspected that there could be two firms named Ample Rich, one incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven, and another described in Thai documents as having an "English" identity.
However, the opposition MPs could find no sign of either Ample Rich at their declared Singapore addresses.
At a news conference yesterday, Sirichoke displayed pictures of the building supposed to house Ample Rich at 185A Goldhill Centre at 51 Thomson Road in Singapore.
The address is occupied by a firm called Kimberly Global and its staff knew nothing about Ample Rich, he said.
"The Commerce Ministry must investigate why Ample Rich has failed to use a real address," the Democrat executive committee member said.
"Now it is clear that 185A Goldhill Centre is not the address of Ample Rich. Let me ask the prime minister: What have you been doing? Does this company really exist? Or it is just an address submitted to the Commerce Ministry?
"This is something the Commerce Ministry must investigate because Ample Rich might not exist in Singapore. Is this another attempt to conceal the stocks [of Shin Corp]?"
On January 23, Karnjanapha Honghern, a secretary of the premier's wife Khunying Pojaman Shinawatra, submitted a 246-2 form to the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of Ample Rich informing the watchdog of the company's intention to sell 329.2 million shares (about 10 per cent) of Shin Corp.
She gave Ample Rich's address as 185A Goldhill Centre, 51 Thomson Road, Singapore 307629. (The Nation's correspondent in Singapore also failed to find any sign of Ample Rich at this address.)
At the same time Karnjanapha was acting on behalf of Ample Rich she notified authorities that two of the premier's children would acquire 329.2 million shares of Shin Corp at Bt1 apiece. On that same day, Thaksin's son Panthongtae and daughter Pinthongta sold the Shin shares for Bt49.25 apiece to Temasek Holdings as part of the Singaporean firm's Bt73-billion takeover of the conglomerate.
The transactions shocked Thailand and sparked an investigation of Ample Rich by the opposition Democrats.
Ample Rich, owned by Panthongtae and Pinthongta, held 10 per cent of the shares of Shin Corp on the foreign board of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The Shinawatra and Damapong families held a combined 39 per cent of Shin's shares on the main board. Together, they held about 1.4 billion shares, or almost 50 per cent of Shin Corp before the sell-off.
Korbsak Sabhavasu, a former Democrat MP, has found evidence that suggests there were two firms named Ample Rich, one incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and another described as having an "English" identity in Thai documents.
He displays a document on his website, www.korbsak.com, showing that as of April 30, 2001, the Ample Rich incorporated in the British Virgin Islands held 22.92 million shares of Shin Corp (before a share split). Its address is listed as 57 Ubi Avenue 1 #07-03, Singapore 408936.
The Ample Rich referred to as "English" in a Thai document held 10 million Shin shares (before the share split) and was located at 185A Goldhill Centre, 51 Thomson Road, Singapore 307629.
The firm incorporated in the British Virgin Islands reduced its stake by 10 million shares, or 100 million after the share split. Ample Rich ("English") traded the Shin stock for a profit then disappeared without a trace.
On April 23 last year, the firm incorporated in the British Virgin Islands reported that it held 229.2 million Shin shares, Korbsak said.
But as of August 26, 2005, UBS AG, Singapore Branch held 329.2 million Shin shares in an account for Ample Rich.
The amount is equal to what Thaksin moved from the main board to the foreign board in 1999.
Korbsak asked whether Ample Rich had been involved in insider trading because it bought 100 million Shin shares to rebuild its portfolio to the original 329.2 million shares about five months before the Temasek deal.
However, Suvarn Valaisathien, the lawyer representing the Shinawatra family, had insisted there was only one Ample Rich, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and that this company never traded its Shin stocks.
Thaksin, in his weekly radio address on Saturday, also denied he had set up twin Ample Riches. There is only one and it was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, he insisted.
He transferred ownership of Ample Rich to Panthongtae in 2000 and his son has relied on professional fund managers to look after the company since them, Thaksin said.
Sirichoke said he also visited the second address given for Ample Rich. But no one in the neighbourhood of 57 Ubi Avenue 1 had heard of the firm, but because it was a holiday he could not verify whether or not an Ample Rich was located there.
"If I have time I'll go to Singapore again to conduct another investigation," he said.
Abhisit had been invited to Singapore to speak to the media there about the city-state's image in Thailand following Temasek's takeover of Shin Corp.
He also met Lee Hsien Yang, CEO of Singapore Telecommunications, which holds a 20-per-cent stake in Shin subsidiary Advanced Info Service

If there's anything Justin Bieber likes as much as older R&B starlets, it's colorful sneakers in every color of the rainbow! The pint-sized crooner has been spotted sporting sneaks in bright shades like purple, red, blue, and even yellow!

Goodness me! When I heard that I was given the chance to sample some of Bart's cookies I was thrilled. I mean who doesn't go coo-coo for cookies! My family surely does! Nothing beats a cold glass of milk and cookies.
"I've been makin' the world's best chocolate chip cookies for more than 20 years! It all started in 1988 when I went away to college. I was living far from home and mom's cooking. One night, I was giving some serious thought to what to have for dinner when I realized I could have anything I wanted, and I was in the mood for some warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven.
Now, Mom taught me a few things before I left for college, such as how to operate a washer and dryer, some basic cooking skills that did not include baking, and how to keep my apartment clean. Determined to have home-baked cookies, I picked up the ingredients I needed at a local grocer, and baked my first batch of cookies. To my surprise, they were a hit from the first batch!"
Currently, Bart's Cookies offers many varieties of cookies. He even has gluten free for those who desire. I have to admit, chocolate chip cookies are my down fall and once I seen that Bart makes the World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies I just knew they were a must to try.
His chocolate chip cookies are available in milk, dark, milk & dark combo, peanut butter and white chocolate chips with or without macadamia nuts.
I got to sample two different flavors of his delicious cookies. The Milk Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip Cookies and boy they were outstanding!
Both cookies are available in two sizes which are B-Bites and B-Mo's. B-Bites are small and are great for 2 bites. These are definitely the ones you need if you have a small craving or a quick snack. The B-Mo's are a quarter pound in size and weight. The B-Bites are available in a dozen and B-Mo's come in a set of 4. Each cookie was wrapped with the ingredients that he uses. So you know right away how each cookie is made.
These cookies were scrumptious! They didn't last in my household. I really liked the B-Bites specially the Milk Chocolate Chip ones. I took a bite right into a piece of milk chocolate it was heavenly. I could really see myself buying tons of these and giving them away as gifts during the holiday season. These would be perfect for teachers, co-workers and even family. Place them in a basket and you got a great and thoughtful gift.
For the texture and taste they certainly are worth it. Great Job Bart! We are fans for life!

There are two approaches that can be employed to end the exploitation of animals: Dissuading people from doing so and impeding their ability to do so.
The animal movement, by and large, has been woefully unsuccessful employing either approach.
Neither can be entirely successful, as there will always be people who will engage in cruelty, but dissuasion is by far the less helpful course of action.
We can dissuade by persuasion or by coercion. There is a point at which persuasion is no longer effective as we reach the limit of people who actually care about animals. And that limit is very low in the general population. Witness how few animal activists are vegan and extrapolate that reality to the public at large.
Coercion would be substantially more effective than persuasion for the great majority of humanity, who value their own lives more than they care about animals.
The approach pursued by most in the animal movement is dissuasion.
We try to dissuade people from hurting animals, from consuming them, from supporting companies and policies which exploit animals.
Most attempts to dissuade fall upon deaf ears. Vegans are a tiny percentage of the population, despite years of proselytizing and recruiting. Spreading empathy has not been very successful as a strategy.
Simple math demonstrates our failures. More animals are enslaved and murdered than ever before. While we have made advances in rescuing companion animals, over the past 50 years the number of dogs and cats we have saved is fewer than the number of animals who will have their throats cut in the next 8 hours.
For most of the animals abused, enslaved, tortured, and murdered, it is as though the animal movement does not exist.
Aside from failing miserably at dissuasion, our efforts to impede animal exploitation have been equally ineffective.
Impediments to animal exploitation can be public or private. Public impediments are legislation and enforcement, areas in which there has been little real progress in a century. Private impediments are direct action.
Most of the direct action engaged in has been not only ineffective, but financially crippling to the movement in supporting imprisoned activists.
ALF raids, burning slaughterhouses, freeing mink, etc, are tactics that impede animal cruelty, but only in the short term. Insurance covering losses of facilities, animals, and profits ensures the resurrection of the cruelty.
If we are to engage in direct action, it should be direct action that will dissuade. Direct action that impedes is covered by insurance.
Aggressive direct action against animal exploiters should be aimed at convincing animal abusers that their personal safety is at risk if they continue with their conduct. Action aimed at people who exploit (rather than the faciliities they work in) would likely cause many to re-evaluate their dedication to animal exploitation.
Coercion could save many more millions of lives than we are saving now, but even that would hardly make a dent in the billions of animals murdered every year.
The pathway to impeding animal cruelty is through changing the very systems that permit, protect, and encourage it.
Most animal cruelty is the product of businesses in pursuit of profits.
Our legal systems permit the enslavement and murder, and our governments protect the abusers.
We need a paradigm shift in our understanding of the struggle in which we are engaged, and paradigm shifts in both our objectives and our strategies.
The first step is to recognize that the animal movement is a leftist movement. That we are the successors to the struggles against human slavery, oppression, and fascism. That our allies are liberals, progressives, and socialists.
The second step is to recognize we cannot win unless we join in solidarity to bring down the capitalist state.

Hope everyone had a merry X-mas, or at least got to watch the kaiju marathon on El Rey Network:
Anyway, let's watch some trailers!
- The trailer is out for the second half of Takashi Yamazaki's live-action Parasyte duology, and it looks fairly action-packed:
- Promos have started for Shuriken Sentai Ninninjer, which starts February 15th:
- And with a new Super Sentai comes a new Pretty Cure. The first promo is out for Go Princess PreCure, as well as an ad for next year's PreCure All Stars crossover movie, Spring Carnival. The show starts February 1, so a lot of character models and publicity art is beginning to show up.
Those "Mode Elegant" skirts look hard to fight in. [via ANN]
- An ad for Yoru no Yatterman, featuring descendants of the Doronbo gang taking up the monikers of their famous predecessor. Let's face it, considering the previous Yatterman incarnations, just making a series starring the franchise's villains is hardly a stretch.
- The 15-second ad for the Nyarlko-san OVA Haiyore Nyaruko-san F contains both a henshin pose and a rider kick.
Distributor news:
- In all honesty, about 90% of the reason why I follow news about Funimation's release of Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo is Shinji Higuchi's amazing Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo short that's supposed to be included in the special features. However, the movie does appear to be actively laying groundwork for the final installment (allegedly out next fall), and considering how dialogue-heavy it was, it would behoove us to get the best translation possible. Apparently Funimation and Khara think so too, as the companies are working together on the release, which is the cause for delays. There are two common speculations about why Khara is so particular this time around, and neither makes them look great. The first is that they slipped something so cryptically nuanced into the work that Funimation wouldn't be able to come up with a satisfactory translation on their own, and Khara's afraid to just explain it because of the dreaded spoiler. The other fan theory is that Khara reps saw English-speaking fans reacting poorly to the US theatrical run of the movie, and assumed that Funimation must've screwed up and that it couldn't possibly be a problem with the film itself. Either way, here's hoping that they get this resolved quickly, for the God Warrior short if nothing else.
- Discotek announced another batch of licenses, including the cycling anime Yowamushi Pedal, and Lupin the 3rd: Jigen's Gravestone, which are likely the objective biggest gets, but their other three title acquisitions are more interesting to scifi/fantasy fans. These are Toei's 1975 Little Mermaid anime movie (which is already available on US DVD, albeit dub-only and censored), the 1994 Zeiram prequel OVA Iria: Zeiram the Animation (which has gotten numerous US releases because it is awesome; though this news sort of dashes the chances of Media Blasters ever releasing a box set of both Zeiram movies and Iria together), and Go Nagai World (the SD comedy with Mazinger, Devilman, and Violence Jack characters that's never been officially released in the US before). Personally: I'm keen to pick up Go Nagai World, but as much as I love Iria, it's going to take some special features to quadruple-dip on it (anyone who hasn't seen it ought to pick it up, though). The other stuff would most likely be rental-first.
NSFW warning because Go Nagai:
- Isao Takahata's The Tale of Princess Kaguya is due out on North American BD/DVD on February 17. It's a little surprising that this is a Universal release (the theatrical run was through G-Kids, I know), since Disney's been pretty ardent about snapping up Studio Ghibli films; hopefully it gets as wide a distribution as it deserves.
Other news:
- The live-action Ao Oni movie's getting a sequel. Still haven't seen the first one yet, but it looked cool. [via ANN]
That about wraps things up for this week, and most likely until the new year. Looking forward to posting more news, reviews, podcasts, and articles in 2015!

Padash: why yes!
I dont write, I talk...sometimes...I just talk on paper!
Monday, October 8, 2012
An amazing review of my book! =)
Review by Sohail Malik I sit My scarf fallen from my head I don't care if a stranger sees my hair My senses embrace me, Let nothing disturb This domain of pleasure (Waves of Pleasure by Miraji) Translated by Mahmood Jamal
Decades ago, Mohammad Sanaullah (Miraji) penned some provocative poems exploring sexuality and erotic themes. He was ridiculed by his contemporaries and never achieved the acclaim he deserved. Nevertheless, his books adorned shelves of thousands who admired his work but lacked the courage to publicly give him his due respect. I like to believe that Miraji coveted the admiration of his readers more than the accolades from his contemporaries. Padash is the bolder version of Miraji. Being a woman from a culture where the honor of the country remains tied to women's chastity, Padash has taken the same leap Miraji took years ago. Her first book "Talking on Paper, Confessions of a Girl with a Loose Churucter" will ruffle some feathers and may even invite the wrath from the guardians of honor. A few will pass contemptuous judgments but there will be plenty like me who would keep the book in their collection. I have a feeling that she like Miraji, would be least concerned with the labels the moral judges will assign her but would relish the thought that some admire her for having the courage to live life on her own terms. Talking on paper is a journey of a young child growing up in a culture where being cool is akin to being westernized. Padash shares how incompatible influences shape the thought process of child in her quest to find her identity. It starts from the elite schools of Islamabad, through the secret world of private parties where drugs and alcohol flow free and eventually into the web of forbidden liaisons. Underlying in each of her short stories is the inexplicable battle for identity, reconstruction of destroyed self esteem and innate desire for self fulfillment. Padash hits the nerves in her comparison of true friendships with those that are forged for convenience. She brilliantly expands upon the profound effect of loyalty and betrayal upon the young impressionable minds. Her book is far more than the salacious escapades of a rebellious girl. It is the first hand account of how important it is to nurture the self esteem of our youth and the need to communicate and reach out to the children. Furthermore, Padash's stories are protest against the dogmas that require sacrifice of dreams and aspirations of girls in favor of marital security. In the process she also disrobes the men who hide under the shroud of nobility and no doubt will be the first to cast judgment on her yet are guilty of the same indiscretions. Why Yes! Or should it be Gee Haan? Talking on Paper is a guaranteed page turner provided you can put away your moral compass. You may not agree with Padash's lifestyle or the choices she has made in her life. Nevertheless, it is her choices, her life and her decisions. If you can respect her right to live life on her terms then take a chance. Get the book. Read it with the open mind. It is engrossing and Padash is truly gifted with the art of expression. Additionally, the sexcapades of a Pakistani female will be used not to exploit but to benefit the exploited since all proceeds go towards a worthy cause. Geen Haan (since it would be blasphemous to use Why Yes) she is a looker, a great writer and is compassionate. Should anything else really matter? I have never met the author or know if these stories are real or imagined. She has however become a virtual friend and I cherish the brief exchanges we have on the digital world. Padash breathes on the pages of "Talking on Paper" and is best encapsulated by Kishwar Nazli in her poem "I am not that Woman". A couplet from that poem in her honor for having the courage to write her first book. I am the one you crushed with the weight of custom and tradition not knowing that light cannot be hidden in darkness. Remember me, I am the one in whose lap you picked flowers and planted thorns and embers not knowing that chains cannot smother my fragrance. (Translated by Mahmood Jamal)

Yo dawg, we heard you like e-ink.
Remember the YotaPhone and the YotaPhone 2? They were those crazy phones from Russian manufacturer Yota that had a regular screen on one side and an e-ink display on the other. The first one pretty much sucked but the second version was not completely terrible, though it never made it to the U.S. as promised. Well, there's going to be a third model.

Merry Christmas?!?!?
I managed to take some lovely photos of the girls on Christmas day this year, probably due to my fantastic new camera so I just had to try and scrap them. The photo of the page hasn't come out very well but hopefully you can get the idea.
I was totally spoilt by my two lovely daughters yesterday, they both gave me gorgeous cards and Emily bought me a yummy thorntons chocolate heart and Rebecca bought me a gorgeous new turquoise troll bead!

It's either love or hate with this one. I heard soooo many people talking about this perfume and its lasting power that I wanted to give it a try. Not for me. It's giving me a headache and I can't get it off my clothes. Way too sweet and girly for me. Smells like expired sugary stuff to me.

This perfume reminds me of pink fluffy unicorns dancing on a cloud of cotton candy Marshmallows liquorice and vanilla cupcakes with pink frosted icing and hundreds and thousands it is sweet but not at all cloying or head ache inducing It is by far the best gourmand I have ever smelt it is so pretty I'm in love:)

I had this when it originally came out back in 2004 and I loved it but I'm a perfume chameleon and don't find myself repurchasing too many perfumes. This one was on my mind so I bought it and it was just as amazing as it was then. It has vanilla, a hint of licorice and a sweetness that isn't cloying. Honestly it just makes me happy when I wear it.

Very vanilla-y! Smells exactly like Lavanilla - vanilla perfume. Identical...Dry down anyway. Cotton candy disappears sort of fast. Anyway, I probably like this one a hint more than Lavanilla bc of the yummy cotton candy.
Edit - 3/3 the dry down....on me anyway is Thierry Muglers Angel perfume. I'm talking hours later....it's super lasting power is also reminiscent of Angel. Crazy for and eau de toilette. Not Angel is the beginning or middle ...but the end end...waaaaay dry down. I know Angel also has cotton candy. I probably like this better now than Angel.

I really like this! I've been seeing alot of reviews for this lately, so decided to "sniff" it out the last time I was at Kohl's... It went home with me😃. I'm 48 yo, and I definitely don't mind smelling like cotton candy and vanilla.. I used to love the body spray "Vanilla Cupcake" by Bodycology, but have been unable to find it since my last bottle over 4 years ago.. Sure, there's a lot of candy type scents at Bath and Body Works, but sprays aren't long lasting. After reading a lot of reviews here that say "Candy" by Prada is the high end version of a sweet scent, I will be treating myself to that too! My scent taste runs from Black Opium, to LVBelle by Lancome, and this Pink Sugar will definitely have its place among those.

I love pink sugar. Keep in mind I am 25 and have absolutely loved sugary, obnoxious sweet scents since I was a child. I don't care how old I get, I will always want to smell edible. When I was in high school I wore Calgon Mmm Marshmallow and Body Fantasies Cotton Candy as daily body sprays - I carried them around in my purse and basically drowned myself in them. This sounds annoying or cloying but I never received a complaint. People have always told me that I smell good. Fast forward 10 years and I still love those body sprays, but they don't last long enough on me. So my favorite "adult" perfumes are Prada Candy and Pink Sugar. Pink Sugar is definitely not boring or "just" sweet, though. There is a complexity here. It's not exactly a mature or mysterious complexity, but it's absolutely NOT just a glorified Claire's body spray, and I'm very sad to see some people think of it that way. The fact that this is an eau de toilette is insane. This thing is *intense.* Like, I was just chopping onions and garlic for dinner and still all I smelled was the single spritz of PS that I had put on my wrist. The sillage and lasting power on this is well worth the money. Pink Sugar is a scent powerhouse, and underrated in that regard.
When i first spray this I get an almost fruity scent, but also a slight plastic scent. After about a minute I heavily smell cotton candy and vanilla. and once it's fully dried down, it smells like a rich sugary dream... Like a burnt marshmallow with vanilla icing. There's something about this dried down that can't be described just through a text review. It's scrumptious and almost fantasy-like. I'm in love with it, always have been and always will be.
The bottle is glass, very cute, and feels luxurious for the price. I buy my bottles at Burlington Coat Factory for $15.

Words cannot describe how much I love this perfume, It makes me feel girly and like a real life Barbie. I can pretty much say it's my signature. What's not to love, it smells amazing, it's crazy long lasting and intense, gets compliments all the time and it's incredibly affordable. I have 2 unopened 100ml bottles of this, the body lotion and the roll on shimmery perfume, that's how much I love it.

Well well well... if it isnt my adolescence in a bottle haha.
I wore this religiously for a few years when i was about 20ish and always received compliments, especially from men, while wearing this. It smells heavily of vanilla, like you bathed in cupcakes.
Its cheap enough and is in a very cute bottle. Although i loved it a long time ago, unfortunately i find the smell far too sweet for my liking now.

Yeah, this fragrance was everywhere for quite a long time, and it is still probably pretty popular with certain segments of the population, but it smells nice. Ubiquity doesn't always equal bad products IMHO. I have only ever owned samples of this, and I don't think I'd ever buy a full bottle just because I don't wear it often. Plus, I am 33, and I find it to feel just a little young for me. (Not that young is bad, I just like fragrances that are a little more complex or more floral for a day-to-day scent.)

I originally saw the idea here and just changed it up a little bit. I printed tags off the computer and had the boys sign their names. We filled the bags with berry treats - tea, candy, and fruit snacks. You could also use candles or lotions - anything with a berry theme. The boys were very excited to deliver to their teachers!
Quick, easy, inexpensive and thoughtful - a recipe for a great gift!

"First United Methodist Church"
In 1833, the Methodist Foreign Missionary Society sent several
missionaries to the Salem area to preach the gospel to the native Indian
people. A year later Jason Lee arrived and set up a site ten miles
north of Salem. In 1841, the missionaries moved to Salem and
David Leslie became their pastor. They served 12 different places in
Oregon until 1844. In 1852, the First Methodist
Episcopal church built a small building on the corner of church and state
streets. This was the first First Methodist church east of the
Rockies. They quickly grew out of this church and in 1870 they began
building the present structure. Due to financial difficulties, the
church wasn't finished until 1878. The building cost 45,000dollars
to make. Since then, several additions and repairs have been
made to the church. In 1983, the church was declared a
historic building.

During a mini riot in Brixton last night, some "enterprising" individual, managed to change the display on the "Ritzy".
Spontaneous parties erupted across the country as news of the death of, "Pariah", Thatcher spread. Some photographs show images of Thatcher being burned, Middle Eastern style.
Meanwhile, there were calls for her statue to be erected in Trafalgar Square alongside the other great British Heroes.
I cannot remember seeing so much joy being poured out due to the death of an English person.
This means that she was hated more than we ever realised, or society has declined to the point where respect for the dead is no longer considered appropriate by many.
The first is evident. I fear the second maybe applicable too.
If this is the reaction following news of Margaret Thatchers death, what on earth is going to happen if they decide to hold a "Diana" style funeral service?
Should the government take note here? Yes, undoubtedly. There is a powder keg of dissatisfaction waiting to be ignited and the smallest spark, such as the perception of undue honour being bestowed upon "The Pariah" Thatcher, could blow the whole gaff up, seriously.
These are strange and dangerous times.

Love him or hate him, but you cannot ignore Chetan Bhagat.Now that is as cliched a way of introducing an author as possible. But isn't that just the way an author who thrives on cliches and stereotypes should be introduced….through a cliche
I tried to ignore him for a long time, but ultimately failed. So I might as well warn you against this.
Somehow or the other, the novel "2 states-The story of my marriage" failed to ignite my interest.
Even as the blurb describes in a cute summary:
'Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy.
Girl's family has to love boy. Boy's family has to love girl.
Girl's Family has to love Boy's Family. Boy's family has to love girl's family.
Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.'
Love story….parents opposition…so what else is new??!! Curiosity level was absolutely non-existant. I would never have gone out and bought this book for sure. I chose to ignore it.
Then I found my sister reading this!! She said she liked it and even though she virtually THURST this book on me, I chose to ignore this. And then finally after letting it sit by my bed side for the past 7-8 months, I picked up the novel to read over the weekend when I really did not have anything better to do. Little did I know that there was a surprise in store just for me. I did not expect the book to be a literary master piece and it wasn't. But I wasn't expecting it to be as entertaining as it turned out to be.
As we accompany the protagonists on their almost Herculean task of converting their love story into a love marriage we encounter close to the bone description of how people's expectations for their children's marriages are often not in keeping with the real needs of their children. The description of disparities between the two cultures is accurate and amusing and the exasperation of Krish at evident in his light hearted digs ridiculing the nature and idiosyncracies of the people around him be it his Punjabi relatives, his Tam Brahm in-laws or the corporate collegues.
There are wisecracks that are totally hilarious and the book is Laugh-out-loud funny. There were instances where I actually doubled up laughing!!! And guys, we DO need writers with a sense of humour. They really really are in a short supply. Deep literary rumination is not everyone's cup of tea. And even if it were, we do need a few lighthearted moments everyonce in a while. Not all books are meant to be literary works with complicated plots. As a writer, Chetan Bhagat's writing may lag well behind many others. His may not bethe most elegant style of writing, but he is one Indian author writing in English who gets across to everyone with a huge impact. I feel his style of writing, which is a combination of light humor and incidents which a normal youngster in India can relate to, is what has attracted the masses. People wanted to hear their own stories in the idiom that they are comfortable with. Bhagat gives them that and he does that well.
Don't expect a literary masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. This book is written for entertainment and this is what it does with élan. So enjoy!!

Forget the words behind the mission statement of the police in California. Vehicle checkpoints to catch DUI offenders has turned into a mass of impounds for unlicensed drivers. Who profits? You guessed it.
"In the course of its examination, the Investigative Reporting Program reviewed hundreds of pages of city financial records and police reports, and analyzed data documenting the results from every checkpoint that received state funding during the past two years. Among the findings: Sobriety checkpoints frequently screen traffic within, or near, Hispanic neighborhoods. Cities where Hispanics represent a majority of the population are seizing cars at three times the rate of cities with small minority populations. In South Gate, a Los Angeles County city where Hispanics make up 92 percent of the population, police confiscated an average of 86 vehicles per operation last fiscal year. The seizures appear to defy a 2005 federal appellate court ruling that determined police cannot impound cars solely because the driver is unlicensed. In fact, police across the state have ratcheted up vehicle seizures. Last year, officers impounded more than 24,000 cars and trucks at checkpoints. That total is roughly seven times higher than the 3,200 drunken driving arrests at roadway operations. The percentage of vehicle seizures has increased 53 percent statewide compared to 2007."
Yes, those unlicensed drivers, many of them immigrants (remember that in many states, including California, immigrants cannot obtain a driver's license), are far more dangerous to other drivers than those pesky drunk drivers. Let's arrest the drunks (who are often repeat offenders) but let them retain their cars while we impound the vehicles of those who are unlicensed yet otherwise sober.

Another piece of poetry written by Gordon Grilz. He carefully plies his words and speaks the truth of private prisons. The almighty for profit beasts that warehouse human souls with no concern for positive programming to help eliminate the horrific recidivism rates, at least those in my state of Arizona.
If a private prison has 1500 beds and the state fills 750 beds, the state still pays for all 1500 beds. Isn't that a fine example of fiduciary responsibility with tax payers funds?
I recently learned that one of our oldest Senator's in this illustrious state has taken funds from a private prison to the tune of over $30,000.00. I trust the information as it came from a religious website that is adamant about social justice.
Gordon Grilz
The prisoners on the
make-work crew
are creating crop circle designs
in the dirt with their rakes
at ten cents an hour.
Modem hieroglyphics
record their histories
on the institutional landscape.
From the other side
of the canal bank
we hear the report
of gunfire as the guards
sharpen their skills
at the shooting range
pop pop pop
pop pop pop pop pop
It's a parallel nightmare
in an overcrowded prison,
battleship gray building
full of double bunks
and no hope,
a human warehouse
where failures are stored
out of sight
out of mind.
When there is no more room
Arizona leases storage facilities
in other states
exporting its
throwaway population.
At night the desert reverts
under the shadow of the saguaro
as coyotes reclaim
their territory
from men with their
chain link obsession.

A collection of pretty, shiny things! From left to right, a beautiful hair dangle by Elise Matthesen, my finally-completed faerie button pendant, and the two pairs of titanium/niobium earrings that I bought at the Street Fair.
So, this afternoon I put the bail on my faerie button necklace and slid her onto my standard black Ndebele cord. I'll eventually make a nice green necklace for her, but I do like how the black cord picks up the black accents on the button. I'll also eventually take a nicer picture of her, but it's cold tonight (by my standards), so I wasn't about to go out to the game room to take photos.
After Chris got off of a very frustrating day at work, we decided to go out for food instead of eating in, and while we were out, I had to stop in at the PO Box, because someone reminded me that I haven't been checking it ;) Inside, I found two surprise packages! One held the lovely hair dangle, similar to ones I've admired in the past, and the other held the silver ring from Creative Mode that I included in my T13 jewelry post (I was going to include it in the picture, but I don't have a ring display).
So, a big "thank you thank you thank you" to my anonymous reader(s) who sent me these wonderful gifts! The turquoise in the dangle is the perfect color to go with my faerie costume, not to mention a lot of my day-to-day clothing. And the ring is so wonderfully elegant, just right to go with my Goth and Steampunk clothes. You're too kind and really brightened my day! Also, I promise I'll check my PO Box more often.
I included the earrings because people asked for pictures back when I bought them. Aren't they cool? The blue ones remind me of lightning, and the purple ones are the same style as the aqua-green ones that I bought last year, and match the purple top I was wearing at the fair.

These words leapt out from the page and seized my heart:
"Across the threshold I had been afraid to cross, things suddenly seemed so very simple. There was but a single vision, God, who was all in all. There was but one will that directed all things, God's will. I had only to see it, to discern it in every circumstance in which I found myself, and let myself be ruled by it. God is in all things, maintains all things, directs all things. To discern this in every situation and circumstance, to see his will in all things was to accept each circumstance and situation and let oneself be borne along in perfect confidence and trust. Nothing could separate me from him, because he was in all things. No danger could threaten me, no fear could shake me, except the fear of losing sight of him. The future, hidden as it was, was hidden in his will and therefore acceptable to me no matter what it might bring."
Fr. Walter J. Ciszek, SJ in "He Leadeth Me," p. 81
Fr. Ciszek in Norilsk, USSR - 1955
I went to sleep with Father Ciszek's words ringing in my ears, my heart held by the truth I heard—and my head spinning with thoughts of how far, how remote I am from truly walking in this surrender, this complete and genuine trust in God's providence.
I want Jesus to come to me, grab my hand, and help me up. I want to know the perfect confidence that Father Ciszek experienced—or at the very least, to desire to know that confidence! Tonight that is my prayer, to desire it—and if I cannot honestly desire it with my whole heart, then I pray that I may desire to desire it!

Video of the "Hodges" wedding ceremony entrance just went viral.
The couple entered their wedding in a manner unseen before, which lead many to say the wedding was a hot mess and break down in laughing tears.
The groom looked like he just retired from pimping.At least they got married…
The video was posted to Vimeo three years ago; however, it's suddenly making the rounds on Facebook right now. The entrance isn't bad, just different. But, needless to say, I wouldn't hire this wedding coordinator.
Ya'll ordering the playlist or nah?
