The headline:

The snip:
RIYADH - A leading authority of Saudi Arabia's hardline school of Islam has condemned camel beauty contests as evil, saying those involved should seek repentance in God.

Camel pageants have become major events in the desert kingdom in recent years as tribes hold ever larger competitions, with bigger prizes and wider publicity.

...

"Everyone must repent of these acts from which no good can come because of its evils, and they should beg forgiveness from God," said a fatwa, or religious ruling, issued this week by Sheikh Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak and a lesser-known sheikh.

FBI says possible al-Qaeda threat against L.A. malls not credible

"LOS ANGELES – The FBI said Thursday it received a tip that al-Qaeda was planning to attack shopping malls in Los Angeles and Chicago this holiday season, but downplayed the purported threat.

The warning, contained in an FBI memo to local law enforcement agencies that was declassified Thursday, said the terror network “hoped to disrupt the U.S. economy and had been planning the attack for the past two years.”

The church has been split into 2 groups- the old and new members. The old members finds the new senior pastor to be deceitful, and a two-faced liar (which is very true). Now the pastor has recruited the new members of the church to be on "his side" and try to kick out the old members. (These members have been attending the church for 10+ years and the new members have only been for 2- years). There is also a person who has attended the church for less than 2 years who "helps" the pastor get away with things like taking out money from the bank to raise the pastor's income. There is a "meeting" within the pastor and "his side" of the people in which they discuss aka gossip about the old members and how to kick them out.
The old members have already tried to discuss with the director and the bishop of the main United Methodist Church but every time there is a meeting between the pastor and bishop, the bishop falls for the pastor's cover up lies. A church should not be this way

More than enough cats. I'm talking about 8 or more cats that drive you crazy since they'reall over your yard & using it as a litter box. Has anybody dealt with this? We tried calling the humane society but we think they're hidding their 12+ cats. What do you think, how would you handle it?

Firstly, my intention for this question is not to whine and complain, it's merely to garner some opinions and see if others are experiencing what I'm going through. My father creates a very horrible home environment. While he's not violent by any means, he curses, despite my asking him not to, he's not receptive to any advice I could offer him on being a better parent, and he doesn't make me feel special at all. He's been this way my whole life. The past few years I've had extreme bouts of insecurity, and I'm wondering if he could be partially to blame. At this point, I can't wait till I'm on my own, not communicating with him; I don't really care if he likes me or not, because frankly, he doesn't deserve to have a son as wonderful as I am. Could I be subconsciously over-analyzing myself and picking myself apart because of his callousness? Any thoughts would be very helpful.

Our religions have the same heredity. The same people that wrote the bible and koran (sorry for inaccurate spellings) are the same people that waged war on others in the name of religion. WHY? WHY? WHY? The point I'm getting at is why is so much faith being put in literal traslations of texts and not in simple concepts like STOP KILLING PEOPLE and BEING JERKS!!!!!

as a personal preferance i like it smoth down there, as smooth as i can get it. shaving just dosn't do it for me. it might be nice and smooth for a day but after that it get all funky again. the upkeep is also a bit tedious. i'd like to be able to clean it up nicely once and not have to worry for atleast a week or two.

so my question really is about waxing. is there any "do it your self" waxing kits out there that are safe to use down there? what about salons? if so will they except buisness from men?(if so any one know of one in the central mass area [i know it's a long shot to ask]?) any thing else about waxing down there would be great.

thanks in advance!

Giuliani's has strong ties to two foreign investment consortia working to own or lease U.S. toll roads, including the Trans-Texas Corridor 35, which is identified as part of the I-35 "NAFTA Superhighway."

Bracewell & Giuliani is identified by the Texas Department of Transportation as the sole law firm representing Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte as it plans to work on the 4 football field wide highway connecting Canada, USA, and Mexico.

Why do you support Giulianis work toward a government system which supercedes the US Constitution?
