Credit score scam

About four years ago my baby brother was laid off from his job and had trouble finding another one in his field, so he took the first job he could get and went from 70k a year down to about $11.00 an hour. It took him about a year to find a job in his career field and get back up to his previous salary. In that year though he lost his house and got behind on all of his credit card bills to the point that he was forced to go to one of those consumer credit places in order to work out a payment plan. He did keep up on his two car payments though. To make a long story short, he completely paid off all of the bills he was behind on about 18 months ago. In the meantime his wife finished up her ...

A couple in the southern town of Cannes have been able to escape a string of parking fines by registering a car in the name of their four-year-old son. Local newspaper Nice Matin reported that a quirk in French law allows a minor to be named as the legal owner of a car. The law, dating back to 1984, was designed to allow 16 and 17 year old learner drivers to be able to have a car. Instead, the canny couple took advantage of the rules to put their car in the name of their son. All that's needed to do so is proof of address and an identity card. No driving licence is required. Since registering the car in his name a total of 70 different driving offences have been notched up. ...
19 Things That All High School Students Should Be Told Before They Go To College

Don't you wish that someone had told you the truth before you went to college? Don't you wish that someone had told you that college has become a giant money making scam that is designed to drain as much money out of students and parents as possible? Yes, college can be a profitable endeavor if you pick your field of study wisely, if you can get someone else to pay for at least some of it and if you can actually get a good job in that field when you graduate. But most high school students are never told to weigh the pros and the cons before they run off to college. The typical high school student is simply told to get into the "best school" that he or she can and to take ...

Russian “Journalist- a US State Dept. agent?

As chaos consumes Libya, with death squads roaming the fractured nation committing atrocities, torture, racist genocide, and mired in infighting, and with the violence in Syria now fully exposed as foreign terrorists organized, armed, directed, and staged since 2007 by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, one might think journalists today would be careful about invoking these “successes” while trying to sow destabilization elsewhere. But for Russian “journalist” Yulia Latynina, repeating US State Department talking points, no matter how hypocritical, no matter how oafishly in contradiction to reality, is just another day on the job.

Swedish women more prone to lose libido over flatulence fears

One in three Swedish women say no to sex due to the fear of farting during the act, according to a new report, while men are only half as likely to forgo sex over concerns about breaking wind. The study, which was commissioned by pharmacy chain Kronan and Swedish research company Novus, found that some 30 percent of women surveyed had said “thanks, but no thanks” to sex due to their gassy stomach, wrote daily Aftonbladet. Only 15 percent of men made the same claim, however. Bert Karlsson, a celebrated Swedish 66-year-old record company manager and former politician, was quizzed by the paper on the statistics, and claims to have never used the excuse of a gassy stomach. ...

A prototype Leica camera has sold for 2.16m euros (£1.74m), setting a new world record for a camera. It was one of just 25 models created in 1923 as a prototype for the groundbreaking Leica A, which was the first commercially successful compact camera to use 35mm film. Branded the "null-serie", or 0-Series, only 12 are known to have survived. The camera was bought by an anonymous bidder at the Galerie Westlicht in Vienna, Austria. Saturday's bidding started at 300,000 euros, with an estimate of 600,000 euros. But by the time the hammer fell, the bids had escalated to 1.8m euros. The remainder of the sale price included taxes and fees. The prices such cameras ...
Send In The Clowns

Did you know that if a woman is having trouble getting pregnant, it might be wise to send in the clowns? Sounds hard to conceive but according to a hospital in Montreal, this might just do the trick. Researchers at McGill University Health’s reproductive centre have announced a link between fertility rates and exposure to a professionally trained, university accredited medical clown (as opposed to an amateur like your husband). In this study, the scientists hired clown specialists from Israel where they are commonly found skipping down the hospital hallways with their oversized shoes because of the evidence that laughter can help heal and alleviate stress. After a group of women who ...

Happy Mother's Day! Nobody loves you like mom...... If your mom has crossed over, take time today to remember her today. If you are blessed to have your mom in your life, let her know how much she means to you. Remember her comforting words through the years that soothed life's pains. Recall those special momisms, her wisdom in her own way that shaped the you that you are today. Close your eyes and remember her soft touch, her hugs and her kisses too. Sometimes these say more than words and go straight to the core. Remember mom's favorite dish, how it smelled and tasted and all the love that went into the making of it. Remember her ways of discipline and honor the roots ...
An Interesting Thing Happened While sitting at the Car Dealership

I was sitting in the waiting room at the car dealership today because I was getting some scheduled maintenance done on one of my vehicles and they had Fox News on the TV. The asshole they had on was some Israeli blood dancer named Dan Gillerman. After Googling his name it appears he is the Israel ambassador to the UN. The bullshit this guy was spewing was disgusting. According to him, it is a fact that Iran will have nuclear weapons in a matter of months. The guy was going on and on. Ok, he's a member of Net-and-yahoo's government so you can expect those type of hyperbolic lies. What disgusted me was the fact that the bubble-headed bleach blonde doing the interview didn't ...
Home gardening, the easy way

The price of food being what it is, I decided to put in a home garden. But, digging up sod just plain sucks. I did some, and I am putting that to use in a compost pile for next year. But I knew there had to be an easier way. So, here is what I did. I had some contractor-grade trashbags and split them on the sides so they open up into one sheet. These I placed on the sod and put weight on the edges and corners to hold them in place, in order to kill the grass and leave bare soil. Obviously, a tarp or other plastic sheeting would work too, but I didn't have a tarp. I guess I only had to wait 2-3 weeks for that to take effect. Probably closer to 3 weeks. In the meantime, I had already ...

Power of Crystals:

Biophysicist with an interest in the ancient worlds, Dr. John DeSalvo, discussed his research into the power of crystals as well as their mystical counterpart, crystal skulls, and talked about the unusual properties associated with them. He theorized that crystal skulls evoke fascination because they are a combination of the beauty of crystal and the symbolism of death. "You put them together and they're hard to resist," he mused. Beyond that, he said that skulls have been carved using quartz crystal since antiquity and surmised that "whoever carved these structures realized there was something special about quartz." DeSalvo detailed how his study of crystal skulls ...

Recently, the MSM were shocked by the news that a girlfriend in Obama's Dreams book was a composite. For many, such news comes as no surprise. The concept of a composite presidency certainly comes as no shock as someone who participated as a contributor and authored evidence presented at Sheriff Joe Arpaio's press conference on Obama's long-form birth certificate report. On the heels of these events -- and taking advantage of an anniversary of the bin Laden raid -- are recent campaign tactics to politicize the killing of Osama bin Laden. With the re-emergence of another round of gutsy call faux heroism regarding Obama's decision, it may also be a good time to revisit the ...

Berlin is opposed to plans to use the controversial fracking process to extract natural gas in Germany, SPIEGEL has learned. Government ministers are "very skeptical" about the technology, which environmentalists claim can pollute groundwater. Germany has put the brakes on plans to use hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, to extract natural gas in places where it is difficult to access, such as shale or coal beds. Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen and Economy Minister Philipp Rösler have agreed to oppose the controversial process for the time being, SPIEGEL has learned. Sources in the German government said that the ministers were "very ...

Introduction Sexsomnia, also known as sleep sex or somnambulistic sexual behavior, refers to unintentional sexual behaviors or activities during sleep. Sexsomnia is a relatively new diagnosis. The term was coined by Shapiro and colleagues in 2003,[1] but cases of this condition have been reported in the literature for the past 3 decades.[2,3] Sexual behavior during sleep automatism can range from explicit vocalizations to touching or sexual intercourse, and in some cases even sexual assault or rape. It is non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnia characterized by abnormal transitions between sleep and wake states. The second edition of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders ...
