Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy involved in car accident near U.S. Capitol

Friday, May 5, 2006

U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy (DRI), son of Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, was involved in a traffic accident near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Capitol Hill Police reported that Kennedy was alone his 1997 Ford Mustang when the accident occurred Thursday at about 2:45 a.m. EDT (0645 UTC) near the 100 block of C Street SE. Police say his eyes were red and watery, and he was unbalanced and had slurred speech. Police also say that Kennedy had received three “notices of infractions” that are connected with the crash.

According to the police report, Kennedy drove his car into a security barrier near the Capitol building. When questioned by the police, he told them that he was “headed to the Capitol to make a vote,” when no votes were scheduled for that time of the morning.

Kennedy said in a written statement that he had returned home around midnight and had taken the sleep aid Ambien and the anti-nausea drug Phenergan, both of which are known to cause drowsiness and sedation. He awakened a couple hours later and was “disoriented” when the incident occurred. He also said that “at no time before the accident” did he take alcohol, and pledged to cooperate in any investigation.

Today, Kennedy said, “Apparently, I was disoriented from the medication” and that he “never asked for any preferential treatment.” He also announced that he is checking himself into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

“I know I need help. As in every recovery, each day has its ups and downs.,” added Kennedy. This is not the first time Kennedy has been to the Mayo Clinic. Last Christmas, Kennedy spent time at the clinic and went back to work after he was “feeling focused and in good shape.”

However; Robin Costello, spokeswoman for Kennedy said, “we have no knowledge of any citations,” but she did admit that a report was filed.

Capitol Police have not commented on the report or allegations, but Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, Capitol Police spokeswoman did say, “The United States Capitol Police are continuing to investigate.”

It is not known whether any sobriety test or arrest was made. Kennedy was not injured.

Odorizante naturale pentru automobil

by

AlenBlacks

Vrem ca aerul din main’ s’ fie proasp’t i pl’cut mirositor, dar soluia nu st’ neap’rat n odorizantele clasice pentru maini, cum ar fi br’dui parfumai din carton, care au un miros greu, artificial i mai sunt i foarte toxici. Ei conin compui chimici care provoac’ dureri de cap, alergii sau chiar afeciuni pulmonare, mai ales pentru copii.

Din fericire, se pot obine efectele dorite folosind plante sau alte amestecuri naturale care nu sunt toxice. Iat’ cteva variante de odorizante naturale simplu de confecionat:

Odorizant sub form’ de spray

Pentru acest lucru avei nevoie de un pulverizator, cteva pic’turi din uleiul esenial preferat, ap’ i un pic de alcool. Amestecai trei p’ri de ap’ cu o parte de alcool, peste care ad’ugai 10-20 de pic’turi de ulei esenial sau o combinaie de uleiuri eseniale, dup’ plac. Amestecai bine i mbuteliai n pulverizator. Apoi pulverizai ori de cte ori este necesar.

S’culei cu lavand’ sau alte plante aromatice

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0R8DrXjybc[/youtube]

Lev’nica degaj’ un miros pl’cut i foarte discret. Avei nevoie de cteva leg’turi de lev’nic’ uscat’ i m’runit’ i un s’cule din pnz’ sau orice alt material care las’ aerul s’ circule. Punei planta uscat’ n s’cule, l legai, apoi l putei atrna de oglinda retrovizoare.

Putei amesteca lev’nica i cu alte plante, cum ar fi salvie, melis’, sulfin’, p’ducel, busuioc, ment’. n general amestecul de astfel de plante medicinale, nu numai c’ miros pl’cut, dar i acioneaz’ benefic asupra sistemului nervos. n plus este un bun repelent pentru insecte i acarieni.

Plantele se usuc’ ntr-un loc lipsit de umezeal’ i umbros, pe coli de hrtie alb’, curat’. Plantele sunt uscate cnd devin casante, adic’ cnd se sparg ntre degete cu un mic zgomot.

Petale de trandafiri

Trandafirii nflorii i parfumai pot, de asemenea, servi la mprosp’tarea i nmiresmarea aerului. Culegei sau cump’rai diverse variet’i de trandafiri, rupei-le petalele i punei-le la uscat. Introdui n s’culei, i putei atrna oriunde dorii n main’.

Cojile de la citrice

Nu aruncai cojile de l’mi sau portocale atunci cnd le cur’ai. Uscai-le, punei-le n s’culei i v’ vor delecta cu parfumul lor n main’.

Odorizant sub form’ de lichid

Pentru acest odorizant avei nevoie de bicarbonat de sodiu i uleiuri eseniale.

Turnai bicarbonat de sodiu ntr-un borc’nel cu o form’ interesant’, n care punei apoi cteva pic’turi de ulei esenial (ntre 8 i 10 pic’turi), n funcie de ct de puternic vrei s’ miroas’. Aroma va persista cteva luni, bicarbonatul de sodiu atr’gnd mirosurile nepl’cute, iar uleiul esenial r’spndind un miros pl’cut n main’. Dezavantajul este c’ trebuie avut grij’ unde i cum punei recipientul n main’ s’ nu se verse.

Vechii daci, care aveau cunotine avansate de astronomie, cunoteau cu precizie data solstiiului de iarn’, o dat’ foarte important’ n religia lor. Pentru ei, aceast’ zi reprezenta lupta dintre lumin’ i ntuneric, ziua n care divinitatea ntunericului era cel mai aproape s’ pun’ st’pnire asupra luminii. Aa c’ dacii contribuiau i ei la aceast’ lupt’, de partea luminii.

Dacii sacrificau porcul n ziua solstiiului de iarn’ pentru a veni n ajutorul soarelui i l hr’neau cu carne spre nt’rire. Ziua ncepea dup’ aceea s’ creasc’ i Cr’ciunul devenea o s’rb’toare a vieii i a luminii. Conform tradiiei, pentru ca porcul s’ fie mncat cu pl’cere, toat’ lumea trebuie s’ se veseleasc’ i s’ cinsteasc’ cu vin n jurul acestuia.

Potrivit altor surse, mult’ vreme, naterea lui Iisus era celebrat’ pe 6 ianuarie. Pentru a mai mpuina num’rul de s’rb’tori p’gne dedicate Soarelui, Biserica a mutat aniversarea pe 25 decembrie. De asemenea, zeul invocat de daci, care nvia odat’ cu venirea prim’verii, s-a ntlnit cu cretinismul, cu Iisus, care nvie i El din mori, tot prim’vara. Astfel, cele dou’ mari evenimente astronomice, solstiiul de iarn’ i echinociul de prim’var’, au r’mas cele mai importante s’rb’tori ale anului, prin suprapunere cu cele dou’ mari s’rb’tori cretine, Cr’ciunul i Patele. Acestea aveau de-acum aceleai semnificaii: solstiiul de iarn’ lumina triumf’ i ziua nvinge noaptea; echinociul de prim’var’ viaa nvinge moartea i natura renvie.

Woman arrested after caught living in man’s closet

Saturday, May 31, 2008

In the town of Kasuya, Fukuoka, Japan, a 58-year-old woman was arrested after surveillance tape from inside an unnamed man’s home showed her living in his closet.

According to police, Tatsuko Horikawa had been living in his closet for over one year. One day when the man left, she walked through his front door which had been left unlocked. From then on, she would take small amounts of food from the kitchen and even take showers. When the man noticed food missing, he set up cameras to catch what he thought was someone robbing him.

The woman had placed a small bed mattress into a enclosed shelf area inside the closet to sleep on and when police searched the apartment, they found her curled up in the closet.

“We searched the house … checking everywhere someone could possibly hide. When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side,” said Hiroki Itakura, a police spokesman.

The woman, who was described by police as “neat and clean”, will be charged with trespassing.

Canadian province declares April 13 “Corner Gas Day” to honour retiring TV sitcom

Friday, April 10, 2009

On Monday, April 6 Saskatchewan Premier, Brad Wall, signed the proclamation that April 13 shall be declared “Corner Gas Day” to honour six seasons of the award winning sitcom, Corner Gas the hit television comedy which will air its last episode “Good Night, You’ve Been Great” April 13, 2009. Lead comedian, producer and writer, Brent Butt was recognised at the signing ceremonies for developing what is called the most successful Canadian show made.

“For six great seasons, Corner Gas has welcomed people from across Canada and around the world to our province, and made short work of the misconception that there’s ‘not a lot going on’ in Saskatchewan. We want to thank Saskatchewan’s own Brent Butt, the Corner Gas producers, cast and crew for many hours of laughter.” said Wall, “Their stories have really captured the spirit of this great province, and shown off Saskatchewan to the world.”

Corner Gas has an audience of 1.4 million in Canada since first airing in January 2004. The show has been honoured with over 80 nominations, and diverse accolades and awards such as six Gemini awards, one of which was Best Comedy Series.

“I’m honestly humbled by this. It’s a wonderful and much appreciated gesture by my home province to honour us in this way. It’s the type of honour you don’t even think about happening, so when it does, it makes you stand up and think: ‘Wow, maybe we really did something here’,” said Butt.

Joking with Wall, Butt suggested that “Corner Gas Day” should be a statutory holiday, if not for everybody then at least for service station attendants. The proclamation signing was aired on CTV the same Monday that Wall was featured in a cameo appearance on the Corner Gas series episode, “Get the F Off my Lawn”. Wall was filmed in a scene in which he was getting his gas tank filled up at the Corner Gas service station.

Susanne Boyce, President, Creative, Content and Channels, CTV Inc said “It’s farewell, not goodbye. While April 13 marks the series’ finale, the memories and the legacy it leaves behind will live on forever. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who have made this history-making series a juggernaut success, and to the millions of fans who visited Dog River weekly.”

The Canadian comedy series is aired by CTV Television Network in Canada and is distributed to 26 countries worldwide.

The popular sitcom, Corner Gas is filmed about 40 kilometers (25 mi) south of Regina in the tiny farming community of Rouleau. CTV will air tributes on April 13 in honour of Corner Gas and Dog River which feature the cast and behind the scenes footage.

Northern lights may appear across Canada and northern U.S. late Tuesday night

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Forecasters predict that northern lights could be visible to the naked eye late tonight and early tomorrow morning across Canada, northern parts of the U.S., and possibly the United Kingdom.

Solar storms caused a large ejection of plasma from the Sun’s surface on Sunday, and the plasma is heading directly towards Earth. The plasma, a cloud of rapidly moving hydrogen gas atoms and subatomic particles, is expected to reach us late Tuesday. The plasma will interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, which will cause northern lights, or aurora borealis, to be visible much further south than is usual. Northern lights usually appear as green or red rivers of lights across the sky.

“It’s the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time” said astronomer Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The eruption was detected by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which was launched in February 2010, and is currently orbiting the Earth.

The Sun goes through approximately eleven-year long activity cycles, with the last maximum occurring in 2001. Sunday’s eruption is a sign that the many years of inactivity is over, and the Sun is heading towards another maximum.

BDSM as business: Interviews with Dominatrixes

Sunday, October 28, 2007

Whether the Civil War, World War II or the Iraq War, it can be challenging to face how conflict penetrates the psyche of a nation and surfaces in the nuances of life. There are thousands—if not millions—of individuals who indulge in fantasies others would deem perverse that have their nascence in some of the darkest moments of human history. It is possible someone you know pays a person to dress like a German Nazi to treat them like a “dirty Jew”, or to force them to pick cotton off the floor like a slave.

An S&M dungeon is a place where these individuals act out such taboos. Businesses that operate to meet their needs are often hidden, but they do exist and are typically legal. The clients want to remain confidential for fear of ostracism in their respective communities. As Sigmund Freud wrote, “Anyone who has violated a taboo becomes taboo himself because he possesses the dangerous quality of tempting others to follow his example.”

Last week Wikinews published the first in a two part series on the BDSM business: an interview with Bill & Rebecca, the owners of Rebecca’s Hidden Chamber. This week we publish the second part: an interview with three dungeon employees, Mistress Alex, Mistress Jada and Mistress Veronica. In their world, BDSM is a game, a harmless pursuit of roleplaying exercises that satiate the desires of the tabooed. These Dominatrixes are the kind of women men fantasize about, but they all look like they could be babysitting your children this Saturday night. Most likely, they will not be.

Mistress Alex has a distinctive sheen when David Shankbone walks into the room. Her moist skin cools quickly from the blow of the air conditioner she stands in front of. Just having finished an hour and a half session, she is dressed in a latex one-piece skirt and matching boots. Mistress Jada, a shapely Latina dressed in red, joins the conversation and remains throughout. When Alex needs to tend to a client, Mistress Veronica, who looks like she would be as comfortable teaching kindergarten as she would “tanning a man’s hide”, takes over for her.

The interview was neither sensational nor typical, but what you read may surprise, repulse, or even awaken feelings you never knew you had. Below is David Shankbone’s interview with three Dominatrixes.

Dr. Joseph Merlino on sexuality, insanity, Freud, fetishes and apathy

Friday, October 5, 2007

You may not know Joseph Merlino, but he knows about you and what makes you function. He knows what turns you on and he knows whether it is a problem for you. Merlino, who is the psychiatry adviser to the New York Daily News, is one of the more accomplished psychiatrists in his field and he is the Senior Editor of the forthcoming book, Freud at 150: 21st Century Essays on a Man of Genius. The battle over interpreting Freud’s legacy still rages, a testament to the father of psychoanalysis and his continuing impact today.

On the eve of the book’s publication, Wikinews reporter David Shankbone went to the Upper East Side of Manhattan to discuss the past and future of Freud and psychoanalysis with Dr. Merlino, one of the preeminent modern psychoanalysts. Shankbone took the opportunity to ask about what insanity is, discuss aberrant urges, reflect upon sadomasochism (“I’m not considered an expert in that field,” laughed Dr. Merlino), and the hegemony of heterosexuality.

Dr. Merlino posits that absent structural, biochemical or physiological defects, insanity and pathology are relative and in flux with the changing culture of which you are a part. So it is possible to be sane and insane all in one day if, for instance, you are gay and fly from the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia.

Many people got success with the 500 calories. Reducing 500 calories a day can make you lose 1 pound in a week (1 pound equal to 3,500 calories).

No one can live on cabbage soup though it is good but having cabbage soup daily is not a good option. But it is good to avoid foods which are categorized as being unhealthy, fried foods and high fat meats. As soon as you resume eating these unhealthy, fried and high fat foods your weight will come to right place.

Retired U.S. vets sue Donald Rumsfeld for excessive service cutbacks

Tuesday, May 31, 2005

One thousand residents of the Defense Department-managed Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, D.C. filed a class-action lawsuit on May 24, asserting that the cut-backs in medical and dental services imposed by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are illegal. The operating budget for the home was reduced from $63 million in 2004 to $58 million for 2005. The residents cite cuts in on-site X-ray, electrocardiogram, physical and dental services, and the closing of the home’s main clinic and an on-site pharmacy.

Chief Financial Officer Steve McManus responded that the changes not only save money but also achieved improved efficiencies. “We’re really trying to improve the benefits to our residents,” he said.

Most of the home’s costs are paid for by a trust fund and monthly fees paid by residents. By law, the Armed Forces Retirement Homes are required to fund, “on-site primary care, medical care and a continuum of long-term care services.”

Israeli ex-minister Yaakov Neeman dies aged 77

Tuesday, January 3, 2017

Yaakov Neeman, an Israeli politician who served as justice minister and finance minister under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, died in his Jerusalem home on Sunday. He was 77.

Born in 1939 in Tel Aviv, Neeman, alongside future President Chaim Herzog, founded law firm Herzog, Fox and Neeman in 1972. He was appointed finance minister in 1979, a position he held until 1981. He was later appointed justice minister by Netanyahu, based on his legal training and loyalty.

Unusually for a senior minister, he had never served in the Knesset. He held the job for two months before resigning; he was being investigated for perjury. Michael Ben-Yair, Attorney General of the day, launched the probe after Neeman testified at a bribery trial. Neeman was cleared.

Neeman regained the Justice Ministry post in 1997, resigning again the next year. He blamed insufficient support from Netanyahu and resumed law. In 2009 Netanyahu was reelected, again appointing Neeman minister of justice. In 2013 this role passed to the Hatnua party’s Tzipi Livni.

Neeman’s last resignation, in 2013, came as he was under investigation by the Israel Tax Authority for evading tax via his law company. The Tel Aviv Magistrates Court ultimately acquitted him.

Outside law and politics Neeman was also an industrialist. He worked with Israel Aircraft Industries, airline El Al, and the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. In 1986 he was credited as key to convincing business partner Herzog, who was then president, with pardoning members of the Israel Security Agency; after a bus was hijacked, security forces shot dead two Palestinians once the hijack had concluded.

Neeman specialised in tax law. A fluent English speaker, he had degrees from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and New York University. His wife and six children survive him.

Current President Reuven Rivlin spoke of a good lawyer and advisor whose wisdom he had sought as recently as last week. “The entire Justice Department bows his head”, said current Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked. Herzog’s son Isaac Herzog, leader of the opposition Zionist Union, spoke of “a tender-hearted, broad-minded and generous man” who “was a mentor and close friend for tens of years.”

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein said Neeman was “a unique figure in our public life, blessed with talent and pleasantness, who believed in his heritage and his people with his entire body.” Netanyahu called Neeman “one of the senior jurists in the country, of a sharp mind and a warm Jewish heart.”
