So... Monday was a 2 cups of coffee type of day. I normally only drink one because more than that has me doing a Michael Flatley Lord of the Dance routine under my desk.It was also the day I realized that nothing surprises me anymore.Not even seeing Milton walk into the office bathroom, see a new roll of TP, then dig thru the garbage can and get the discarded cardboard TP roll.While I’m not surp

The second of the energy drinks in the Rage Energy Drink line that I am going to review is Rage Asylum. So far I think Rage is doing a nice job with the edgy packaging and the names of their products. Rage Asylum promises Insane Energy like the kind you would have if you were a lunatic, locked away in the asylum of the product’s name. The imagery fits the name and has a hard core look. The 16

Asylum Release Date: July 15, 2008 A group of beautiful coeds discover that their dorm was once a mental hospital where unspeakable experiments were performed by a deranged physician trying to “cure” troubled teens. But now the mad doctor’s ghost is back to continue his torturous work…and he’s running out of patients!

I met my husband at a mental hospital. A branch of the VA that is a large teaching hospital affiliated with a University. We both worked in the psychiatry department which was a great job, once you got past the fact that some of the psychiatrists seemed a lot nuttier than the patients. I was working as a psych tech, coordinating research protocols for an Alzheimer's Research Center. It was fa

Comment piece for PinkNewsIt's very hard for most British gay men and lesbians to imagine what it's like to grow up in a country like Iran.

A Russian reporter who wrote a book critical of the Kremlin and later escaped injury in a bomb explosion said today that Britain has given her political asylum. Thirty-four-year-old Yelena Tregubova said her life was in grave danger in Russia. Tregubova's 2003 book "Tales of a Kremlin Digger," accused President Vladimir Putin of stifling freedom of speech and turning Russian media into a propaganda machine for the Kremlin. Tregubova, who wrote for the influential Russian daily Kommersant, also suggested that Putin tried to seduce her when he headed the country's top security agency. ~ full article ~

Peter Tatchell wrote the following in 1996 in CIF about the UK's attitude to gay asylum seekers.He has long experience of personally helping many, so he knows of what he speaks:The failure to give refuge to the victims of genuine homophobic persecution is the single greatest blot on the gay rights record of Tony Blair's administration.Too right. Jacqui Smith is complicit, as were her predecessors and let's not forget the gay and lesbian people in power who've stood by.From my day-to-day work with asylum seekers, I hear first hand shocking stories about homophobic abuse and inhumane conditions inside the UK's asylum detention centres, including allegations of homophobic insults, beatings and sexual assaults.

‘The Book’ Loved of The LORD, There does not seem to be any Chronological Order to this ‘The Book’ so far. Writing as given Direction for now, then some order when it is put together to be published. We continue, this week, with our ‘Mission Adventure’ and one of our trips to a ‘Mental Hospital’! I have to tell you that when Pat told the Ministry Group he had made arrangements to visit the ‘Clients’ in the local asylum, it was hard to hold a straight face. At first it was ‘Mission Impossible’ to me. The young folks in our crew seem to be happy about the opportunity. The paid interpreter was always happy no matter where we went to minister. Keeping my mouth closed and again trusting God to receive The Glory was by this time a disciplined routine. At least

The B.B.C.’s politically correct Biblically incorrect Nativity… The Nativity as an asylum seekers’ tale The contemporary nativity play will feature Mary and Joseph as asylum seekers in Liverpool The BBC stoked controversy yesterday by announcing plans for a “contemporary” nativity play featuring Mary and Joseph as asylum seekers instructed to report to the nearest passport office. In a move that has dismayed traditionalists, who think the story is dramatic enough without having to embellish it with politically correct themes, the action will take place in the centre of Liverpool. The story will be told against a backdrop of pop music and will star Cathy Tyson, who appeared as a call girl in the film Mona Lisa, as a female Herod and Jennifer Ellison, the former Brookside star and glamour model, as an angel. During the retelling, actors in contemporary dress will walk through parts of the city singing hits from The Beatles’ “Let it Be” and &l

Today, I posted a study conducted under the auspices of the International Assessment and Strategy Center, focusing on the history of Muslim asylum claims in the United States. The study shows that Muslim asylum claims are on the increase, though not in proportion to all asylum claims, which are proliferating in our federal courts of appeal at an exponential rate. Still, these cases reflect a growing component of American court opinions mentioning Islam. The fact that we see so many Muslim refugees...(read more)

Asylum Not Granted by Sylvia Bond Supernatural Episode Review – Season 1, Episode 10 The current episode, though standard spooky fare in a lot of ways, reveals one of the veins of gold spidering through the rich, iron ore that is Supernatural. And that has to do with the relationship between the brothers and how they see their worlds in different ways. Overall, I wouldn’t say that this episode is particularly funny, or erotic, with near naked nudity abounding. Instead, it uses the standard plot of a haunted madhouse to show us key issues between Sam and Dean that they perhaps did not know about themselves. But let’s start at the beginning.

Sweden leads the world in opening its doors to those seeking asylum from oppression and war. The nation of nine million received 14,700 applications — half from people in Iraq- compared to the 24,000 received by the United States which has 300,000,000 people. It is believed Iraqis have been seeking refuge in Sweden due to knowing others who found refuge in the country. They also seek a nation which has an established and generous system of social welfare benefits being offered immigrants. Historically, America was the nation to whom oppressed people of the world sought to enter. It increasingly appears that many people in the Middle East have lost confidence in America’s willingness to welcome them with open arms. There is something sad about this turn of events.

From this story via Prager: A surge in the number of Venezuelans seeking asylum in the United States has some drawing parallels with Communist Cuba in the early 1960s. As populist President Hugo Chavez tightens his grip on the world's fifth largest oil producer, wealthy and middle class citizens are fleeing, just as their counterparts did soon after Fidel Castro seized power in Havana more than 40 years ago. In 1998, the year Chavez was first elected, just 14 Venezuelans were granted US asylum. That number jumped to 1,086 in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, according to the latest figures from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Think about it, gentlemen. Instead of having to look through catalogs, you can seek "beautiful Latinas who want to meet you" right here in the United States. Think of the savings! Seriously, when will people give up on this idea? How many countries have to be ruined before the left admits its ideas lead to decline (how much it declines depends on

Asylum 7 in the Metro Times: Primordial ooze: Asylum 7 got his start making music on the infamous Runyon Avenue on Detroit’s east side. His blue-collar style of hip-hop is rooted in fact, not fiction, and this dude is one of the most socially aware MC’s in the area right now. Why you should really care: “Because the music is honest, yo! It’s not your typical radio and club shit. My music isn’t vain, and it’s not fabricated either. It’s the epitome of honest music created from the soul. Good lyricism without the profanity and misogynistic nonsense.” The single: His recently released EP, Brown Study, doesn’t have a lead single, and that’s exactly the way he wants it. According to A7, he wants the whole product to stand out as one musical offering to the world.

My aunt is actually really actually mental. She’s rich but refuses to spend money, she’s contemptuous but has an ASBO and she’s racist but is now in love with an Iraqi asylum seeker, 30 years her junior. She is mental. There are probably a lot better and more appropriate words to describe her but I think calling her mental is the most clear and certainly the easiest way to communicate her

How they and Eric Three Thousand manage to do it, I haven't a clue. Thanks, Guys. Once upon a time in the Happy Kingdom of Parson's in the era of Project Runway Season One, all was right with the world. Birds sang, bees buzzed, and all the designers got along, sometimes even frolicking with each other. But then in Episode Four, bad witch Sarah Hudson, singer of Girl on the Verge, chose only three designers to create her new rock concert gown, causing strife in the Kingdom.The first chosen designer was Jay, who tra-la-lahed with glee and boasted that the bad witch had the hots for him 'cause "She picked his ass!"The second chosen designer was Austin, who, overcome by the opportunity to provide a little "frou-frou Bo-pee pee edge" to the witch's outfit, squeezed his pecs with delight.The third chosen designer was Ke
