The New York Daily News crossed the privacy line when it published a picture of an ambushed Cynthia Rodriquez exiting the hospital upon her release after giving birth to a baby girl.This is absolutely disrespectful to the Rodriguez family and violates their right to privacy.The picture (which I will not post) shows Cynthia in a wheel chair using her body to cover up her newborn, shielding her from a scum photographer. Also in the picture is a woman trying to get between the scum and Cynthia, a hospital employee and another woman along side Cynthia.This is the caption:Alex Rodriguez's wife Cynthia, trying to shield the baby girl she gave birth to on Monday night, leaves the hospital Wednesday in South Miami.SHIELD!Where is hospital security?Not only does this show what scum the photographe
Here's what to do if a bill collector uses abusive tactics.It's stressful to be unable to pay your bills on time. It's even more stressful to hear from a bill collector about those overdue debts.

CHICAGO – Stephen Chow, who directed “Shaolin Soccer” and “Kung Fu Hustle,” brings us his latest eccentricity in the form of the kid-oriented film “CJ7”. Slapstick antics, sarcastic humor and excessively absurd characters are simply a few of Chow’s cinematic trademarks and “CJ7” is no exception to his design.
This sci-fi tale of whimsy takes place in Hong Kong with Ti (played by Stephen Chow) as the single father trying to properly raise his son, Dicky (played by Jiao Xu), on the wages of a construction worker.
The film begins by exploiting the poverty Dicky and Ti live in by showing Dicky’s worn-out shoes and dirty clothing. Dicky’s desire to assimilate to school fashions and to possess toys like his schoolmates is overwhelming and his father struggles throughout t

According to The Christian Post (yes, I do get all my news from this source), police chaplains in Spokane, WA, are going to have to remove the crosses from their badges to settle a lawsuit filed by Ray Ideus, a Christian pastor for 30 years who is now an atheist. Lest the right-wing lunatic fringe do more sniveling about "whiny atheists," I think it is important to be clear about why it is necessary to remove the crosses.It should be noted at the outset that no court is ordering the removal. The city is agreeing to do so as part of an out-of-court settlement. Thus, ranting about "activist judges" would be misplaced here.So why would an atheist file suit over the crosses?Ray Ideus, a former Lutheran pastor of 30 years, claimed in his suit that the Christian-Latin cross included on the badges worn by chaplains in the Spokane Police Department is an "impermissible incorporation of a particular religious symbol in a government insignia."By including crosses on the badges of police chaplain

Olive Wood Crosses of Jerusalem The olive tree is traditionally a symbol of health and peace. The Olive Wood of Jerusalem is the symbol of Eternal Life and it is well known since ancient time. According to religion believe Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, near Jerusalem near an olive tree, some says that this tree still exists today. The Olive Tree grows in the Holy Land and can survive for up to 2000 years.In the Bible, Noah sent out a dove from the ark to find dry land and the dove returned with an Olive branch. It is said that the Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Olive tree has been highly admired since old times and it is considered as a blessed tree. The people planted olive trees in various parts of the Holy Land to spread its cultivation. The oil from the olives was used to anoint priests, prophets and kings to empower them as well as to pray for their healing. While known for its sturdiness, it is a beautiful wood with grai
I do not agree with the action taken against students for under-age drinking. The incident did not occur on school grounds or at a school function. The parents are responsible for disciplining their children, in a manner they see fit. Schools are not parents and should have no say about what happens outside of the classroom or school property.
(Grand Island, NY, October 5, 2007) - - A number of Grand Island students face athletic suspensions because of a weekend party involving under-age drinking. News 4’s Melissa Holmes reports in our newsroom with more on the story.
Grand Island School officials say a student’s birthday party over the weekend turned into an underage drinking event with as many as 150 students from six school districts. School officials say the parents were present as students arrived with alcohol.
Superintendent Robert Christmann says Erie County Sheriff’s Deputies broke up the party but did not make

Real estate bourses rallied on Wednesday even as the market value of DLF Ltd, India’s the most known real estate firm crossed Rs 1 trillion mark. The company has kept its fingers crossed regarding the Central Bank not to increase interest rates at a credit review.
DLF listed itself on the bourses on July 5. Since the date, the company has risen to 3.27 per cent on Rs 18.70 on the Bombay Stock Exchange at Rs 590.45.
The market cap has reached to Rs 1, 00, 053 crore just before Wednesday’s closing and settled at Rs 99,773 crore in comparison to Rs 96,575 crore on Tuesday.
Like DLF, many other real estate companies are also hoping that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may not raise interest rates at its quarterly credit policy reviews this month.
Newly launched real estate index has settled 3.38 per cent or 249 points up at 7,626.53 points as against 7,377.53 on Thursday.
A number of realty companies have seen increase in their shares. Unitech, the second biggest realty company rose 3.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.Matthew 16:24The hope of my life you are. The love of my life you are. Oh, the wonderful cross. Would I embrace my cross or run away? I stared at the cross in the reflection in the dresser mirror. The depth of the cross seemed to sink into the mirror infinitely. This was brought to my attention by a sweet,little innocent child. You can find crosses everywhere if you just look. God's constant reminder of His presence."Daddy, do you see the cross in the mirror?" she inquired. The deep blue eyes staring up at me waiting on a response. Shaking my head I looked back at my daughter. I didn't see anything. "Look one more time," she begged with a look of belief. "Alright, but this is the last time," was my reply. As I stared into the mirror I thought of this week and the events preceding it. The Vacation Bible School that week and how excited she was about Jesus. Her

I had one of the strangest dreams I've had in awhile last night, waking up this morning in the midst of it and taking a few moments to realize it had been a dream. The part I remember was that my entire neighborhood, including my own front yard, had been filled with hundreds of small white crosses and small American flags. They were everywhere, filling every yard up and down my street. Nobody else was around, and I was standing on my driveway, surveying this act of vandalism which I assumed had been the organized effort of a fundamentalist church. I felt both anxious and angry - mostly angry.Dreams are an odd beast, and I'm not particularly keen on dream interpretation. Insisting that dreams have some kind of prophetic meaning or that they reveal one's unconscious desires (Freud) holds little appeal for me. Scientific research has shown that dreams often incorporate stimuli present during sleep (e.g., external sounds, etc.) or material experienced by the dreamer during that day. In
Yesterday the KSE-100 index broke through 13,000 points making an intra-day all time high of 13,041. With almost daily record high closes at the moment , its not realy worth creaming about. Maybe at 13,500 !The market could not hold this levels and with profit taking came off closing down at 12,933. The flavour of the day was DGKC which traded 56,7 million shares out of a total volume of 315 million traded on Friday. MCB closed at 357.5 in Spot at its highest price ever, as did Adamjee Insurance with a record high close at Rs.325.20. There was a flutter of activity in Bank Alfalah based on some unfounded rumour that Singtel had done the deal re: Warid. It was short lived. BAFL has dropped in price and volume since the fucking stupid report by J.P. Morgan a few days ago, claiming its fair value to be Rs.35 (actually Rs.15 as Rs.20 has been inputed for the Warid sale ) !!

On Thursday, market averages continued to trend up, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending at 13,105.50, or up $15.61. While the move to 13,100 has been quick and painless, most stocks on the NYSE ended in negative territory. Investors should begin to see a bearish, overvalued sentiment to the market, and a possible minor correction/sell off to transpire.
Despite gains out of about the last 16 of 17 trading days on the Dow Jones, a number of stocks haven’t followed the record rally. Only 13 of 30 of the Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks finished in positive territory. Markets were buoyed by shares in 3M Co. (MMM), 4.52 percent, and General Motors (GM), up 4.44 percent. Otherwise, the continued rally wasn’t shared with the rest of the exchanges.

When you start to explore the area around Cesky Krumlov, one of the things that strikes you as a protestant Brit is the number of wayside shrines and crosses. Although you will find them in the centre of villages, these crosses are not just in the places you would expect but also in the middle of fields and on footpaths through forests. They mark old trails and processional routes. They are a sign of the country's devout Catholic past, but in some places, as in England , these crosses are sited on older pre-Christian religious sites. If you are interested in identifying the sites of such shrines, you can find them on the large-scale maps.But there are not as many shrines and crosses as there once were. Under the Communists many crosses were desecrated and destroyed. Some Czechs sought to save the crosses from destruction, removing the metal Christ figures and putting them into storage. Some friends invited us to a mill they have near Cesky Krumlov - there in the yard was a pile of Chr
North Scott High School Rejects Iowa LawDenies Rights Of Parents And Students The State Board of Education is today expected to rule on whether a student should be sidelined the remainder of the year. The appeal, filed by Travis Childs and his mother, points out that Iowa law allows what happened in October.An Eldridge mother maintains she did the right thing last fall when she allowed her teenage son to drink beer at home with his stepfather. She said the family's openness about alcohol is the reason he doesn't sneak around to drink."It was in our home. He was not caught doing anything that he shouldn't have been doing," Tisha Bousselot said. "That's not to say we accept it, but I'd rather have my son alive and watch him wrestle for a wonderful university next year than to put him in the ground."But North Scott school officials benched Travis Childs, 18, for the "three or four beers" he drank with his stepfather on Oct. 25. It was the three-sport athlete's third good-conduct vi

Please note that The English Courtesan is away on assignment this weekend but will post again on Monday and answer your comments next week!The English Courtesan notes that it has been a peculiar week for religious symbols in England. British Airways stepped down over suspending a worker for wearing a cross and a Yorkshire teaching assistant who wears the niqab has been sacked.For those of you who missed the debate, Nadia Eweida had refused to return to work at the check-in desk at Heathrow airport since British Airways bosses told her last month she could not wear a necklace bearing a small cross over her uniform. She was asked to conceal the cross underneath the uniform cravat but refused on the grounds that she did not see why she should hide her faith. She was offered a choice between suspension on paid leave, which she feared would be an admission that she had done something wrong, or unpaid leave pending disciplinary action, and she chose the latter.British Airways denied it had b

Now it’s time to get into really local politics. I have gotten a few e-mails and comments on this blog asking my take on the Upland Crossing plans in Upland, California. The Lewis Group of Companies and the City of Upland, California have decided to approve a plan that would put about 355 homes, or 365 and a recreation center if you ask The Lewis Group, near the Cable Airport. To be exact, almost right next to the Cable Airport.Image Source:ci.upland.ca.us The map above shows the 30 acres where the homes would go. So far the estimates for the homes have been “from the low $400,000s to the mid-$500,000s,” Lewis said. Source: dailybulletin.com
