Anyway, my car is cheap B&B car with bird sh!t all over, maybe that was why no one want to come near

Very shocking at one fraction of the orthodox Jew did to infant ... . Infants infected with STD .... Of all places, happen in USA, New York City .. Yahoo news: NYC, Orthodox Jews reach deal on circumcision suction ritual NEW YORK (AP) — The city said Tuesday it has reached a tentative agreement with members of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community over a tradition known as oral suction circumcision. Health officials have linked 17 cases of infant herpes since 2000 to the ancient ritual of sucking blood from the wounds on the infants' penises. On Tuesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration said mohels, as the circumcisers are called in Yiddish, should no longer be required to obtain signed consent forms before the rites. Administration officials said they will ask the Board of Health to vote to rescind the requirement while working with a coalition of rabbinical leaders and medical experts to educate members of the ultra-Orthodox community about the possible dangers of the practice, known as metzitzah b'peh in Hebrew. A vote is expected in June. If an infant is found to have herpes after a circumcision, officials will ask a rabbinical coalition to identify the mohel who performed it so his DNA can be tested. If he's found to have infected the infant, he'll be banned from performing the ritual. Oral suction circumcisions first came under scrutiny in 2012 during Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration, which asked parents or guardians to sign consent forms indicating they understood the medical risks. But the city's mohels, believed to perform more than 3,000 rites annually, say they apply strict medical procedures, including testing for herpes, sterilizing their hands and rinsing with mouthwash before the ceremony. Rabbi A. Romi Cohn, who has performed 35,000 circumcisions, said he believes babies could have contracted the herpes virus from sources other than mohels. Officials said Tuesday that DNA testing by health officials likely would prove or disprove whether there's a match between an infected infant and a mohel. If not and a baby still tests positive, health officials will try to seek the source of the herpes, which often results in skin blisters. Of the 17 cases cited since 2000, two were reported in 2013 and four were reported last year. Families refused to name four of the six mohels, and the other two declined to be tested, the city's Department of Health said. link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/nyc-orthodox-jews-reach-deal-circumcision-suction-ritual-233533884.html

Is this the social ills we are facing due to the inflation? http://www.soshiok.com/article/15138 What should have been a double birthday celebration turned into a nightmare when a stranger gatecrashed the party and overturned 11 trays of food. Singapore, April 5, 2011 WHAT should have been a double birthday celebration turned into a nightmare when a stranger gatecrashed the party and overturned 11 trays of food. The caterers had just set up the buffet, and the guests had not even started eating yet. Travel consultant Anna Tan, 42, the mother of the birthday girls, aged 12 and 16, was left speechless. The uninvited guest tried to run away, but Mrs Tan's husband and two workers from the catering company, Stamford Catering, managed to prevent him from escaping. Mrs Tan described the man as medium-built, about 1.7m tall, and in his 40s. Said Mrs Tan: "He did not panic at all, even when the police arrived." She added that when her husband asked why he did it, the man repeatedly asked if he had injured anybody. Her two daughters were close to tears. Their birthdays were 10 days apart and the family decided to celebrate them together last Saturday night. Mrs Tan had ordered a buffet costing $460 and also prepared food for a barbecue. The incident happened at the open area next to Block 546, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 at about 6.30pm. About 70 guests, comprising relatives and friends of the birthday girls, were already present. Mrs Tan recounted: "I was at the barbecue pit, trying to start the fire with my husband when I heard the trays hitting the floor. "At first, I thought that the workers hadn't placed the trays properly, causing them to fall. I got a huge shock when I turned around and saw all the food on the floor." The floor was splattered with fried rice, curry chicken, vegetables, spring rolls, and other food items. The barbecue pit is a few metres away from the buffet line. Mrs Tan said she had never seen the man before, but some of the residents who had gathered after hearing the ruckus said that he lived in a nearby block. They then called the police, who have classified the case as mischief and are investigating. About 10 parents had witnessed the spectacle and left with their children even before the party started. Meanwhile, the catering staff called their operations manager, Mr Francis Tay, 56, to inform him of the incident. Said Mr Tay: "I didn't believe my staff when they described what happened to me over the phone. "When I got there, I was completely surprised." More food Luckily for Mrs Tan and her family, some kitchen staff were still around and were able to prepare another seven trays of food for them. Said Mr Tay: "That was the best that we could do at such short notice." At about 8.30pm, the buffet line was set up again. Mr Tay said it was still uncertain if they would bill Mrs Tan for the extra food. As for the gatecrasher, he told Lianhe Wanbao he had lost control when he saw the trays of food as he had only a bowl of instant noodles for breakfast. The man, who claimed to be unemployed, said: "I don't know why I got angry or why I did that. "I also didn't know how the family will react if I apologised to them personally so I hope to do it through the papers." Mrs Tan said that she accepted his apology. "People might think that he did it because we offended him. So I'm glad he has clarified the matter," she said.

anyone can advice if we need to pay? pls see link http://talkback.stomp.com.sg/forums/showth...682#post2899682

Chery A5 Quote: There you go. Proof that journalists DO criticise cars.

Received this mail and its a very touching story indeed. Take some time off and think hard..... are you guilty for once at times..... It was a long mail but if you read the whole passage then you are a kind angle and someone that we could make a 'GOOD FRIEND' with. Quote: Breakfast at McDonald's This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!): I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutey inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally. Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm). Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope." I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope." We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE. "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart."
