  1. they can forgive her, so long as they don't forget to squish her or did u say squash or was it squelch? Ho-hum, whichever.
  2. Hair. There is no escaping it even when it's escaping you. How do you: wash yours and with what products? condition them? manage frizz, fuzz, mania? When you go to bed do you look like: Does anybody bother with these anymore?: Does henna do anything other than rust your scalp? And last but not least, what do you do about these?
  3. Congratulations. U will always be shackled by something, just make sure it's something u want to be shackled by.
  4. Maybe we should stop speculating out of respect for her, her family and friends. A small dua will do.

  6. Hundreds of children 'vanishing' Hundreds of African boys have disappeared from London schools, police investigating the murder of a boy whose torso was left in the Thames have said. Scotland Yard asked London education authorities how many black boys aged four to seven had vanished from school. Between July and September 2001, 300 had disappeared, and police fear thousands may go missing annually. Child welfare experts say the figures hint at the scale of child trafficking, sometimes for labour or benefit fraud. A previous BBC investigation found some African children were being held by their parents' creditors, so they could claim extra benefits. 'Lost in the system' The boy found in the River Thames in September 2001 - called Adam by police - is thought to have been the victim of a ritual killing after being brought to London from Nigeria. Detective Chief Inspector Will O'Reilly said inquiries revealed 300 black boys of a similar age to Adam had not reported back to school in the three months before his death and were "lost into the system". They are being trafficked, they are being emotionally abused, there are incidences of domestic slavery, there is physical abuse, sexual abuse Yinka Sunmonu Author and journalist "It is a large figure - far more than we anticipated when we started this line of inquiry," Mr O'Reilly said. Of the missing boys, 299 came from Africa and one from the Caribbean. Despite an international search, police were able to find only two of them, Mr O'Reilly said. Most of those questioned said the children had returned to Africa. While there is nothing to suggest these children have been murdered, a lack of immigration records makes them almost impossible to trace, police say. 'Underground' problem Chris Atkinson, policy adviser on child protection for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children said children needed to be tracked upon arrival in the UK and called for a register of approved private foster carers. We have quite a large number of parents or families who apparently go missing but actually just move on Tim Benson Head teacher The BBC's Angus Stickler says part of the problem lies with the custom in many African communities of placing children with distant relatives. The government does not currently force adults who take children in these circumstances, known as private fostering, to register. It fears doing so could drive the problem underground. Felicity Collier, of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering, said the problem was already underground and she called for tighter controls. But Tim Benson, head teacher at Nelson Primary School in East Ham, London, and a National Association of Head Teachers representative, said most children were probably happily ensconced in another school. "We have quite a large number of parents or families who apparently go missing but actually just move on and don't know that they have to inform anyone," he said. Children's register A spokeswoman for the Department for Education and Skills said she could not comment on details of the investigation but the government was "deeply concerned" about any child missing from education. Under the 2004 Children's Act - being implemented this year - local authorities are meant to advise people to tell social services if they are caring for a child. Police and welfare groups hope this will make it easier to track vulnerable children. Shadow secretary of state for children Theresa May said the Children's Act needed to go further, with a system allowing for prosecution of those who failed to register as carers. source
  7. Horror of India's child sacrifice By Navdip Dhariwal BBC correspondent, northern India In India's remote northern villages it feels as if little has changed. The communities remain forgotten and woefully undeveloped, with low literacy and abject poverty. They are conditions that for decades have bred superstition and a deep-rooted belief in the occult. The village of Barha in the state of Uttar Pradesh is only a three-hour car drive from the capital Delhi. Yet here evil medieval practices have made their ugly presence known. Lured with sweets I was led by locals to a house that is kept under lock and key. They refuse to enter it. "They [the tantrics] play on people's fears and superstitions - it is crazy" S Raju Campaigning journalist Peering through the window bars you can see the eerie dark room inside, with peeling posters of Hindu gods adorning the walls and bundles of discarded bed clothes. In one corner is the evidence we had come to find: blood-splattered walls and stained bricks. It is the place where a little boy's life was ritually sacrificed. Those who tortured and killed Akash Singh did so in a depraved belief - that the boy's death would offer them a better life. "The woman who did this was crazed," the villagers say. "Akash was friends with all our children... We still cannot believe what happened here." Akash's distraught mother discovered her son's mutilated body. The family was told he was lured away with sweets and begged his captors to set him free. "First they cut out his tongue," his grandmother Harpyari told me. "Then they cut off his nose, then his ears. They chopped off his fingers. They killed him slowly." 'Profiting from fear' The woman who abducted Akash lived just a few doors away. She claimed to be suffering from terrible nightmares and visions. It was then she turned for guidance to a tantric, or holy man. It was under his instruction that she brutally sacrificed the boy - offering his blood and remains to the Hindu goddess of destruction. There are temples across India that are devoted to the goddess. Childless couples, the impoverished and sick visit to pray that she can cure them. Animal sacrifice is central to worship - but humans have not been temple victims since ancient times. We were met with a hostile reception at the temple in Meerut. The high priest did not want us to see the ritual slaughter. Tantrics like him clearly have an overwhelming grip on their followers. Often they are profiting from people's fears. In extreme cases others have instructed their followers to kill. Crackdown campaign S Raju is a journalist for the Hindustan Times and has been reporting on child sacrifice cases since 1997 in western Uttar Pradesh. He has reported on 38 similar cases. In one incident he says a tantric told a young man that if he hanged and killed a small boy and lit a fire at his feet the smoke from the ritual could be used to lure the pretty village girl he had his eye on. He has been campaigning for a crackdown on the practice of tantrics, alarmed at what he has seen. "The masses need to be educated and dissuaded from following these men," he said. "They play on people's fears and superstitions - it is crazy." Unreported We visited the jail where those accused of murdering Akash were being held. The prison warden told us of over 200 cases of child sacrifice in these parts over the last seven years. He admitted many of the cases go unreported because the police are reluctant to tarnish the image of their state. He told us incidents of child sacrifice are often covered up. Many of those killers are behind bars - but, chillingly, others poisoned by the same sinister beliefs remain at large. source
  8. ^cause it isn't up to us ultimately. I feel ill. God help her.
  9. Lol why the indho-roll? U think if I have a decent idea AND want to put in the hard work I'd shout it from the roof-tops before I'm ready? All in the spirit of SOL-nimo? Nope. After maybe. :cool:
  10. ^u'd be a fool not to and I'd be a bigger fool for revealing it. If u don't have the hunger, forget about it. If u do, research, learn, start small and one day preparation and opportunity will unite.

  12. Some of you lack a sense of humour and some of have no idea what the intent of the post is. Somebody's making money off people like you. Originally posted by WaTerLily: I cannot believe such a topic has 36, no 37 responses now. She you should be a brand name and start charging. I have attended more business seminars and presentations in the last 5 days than I have in my entire life put together. I have met millionaires, movers, shakers and ordinary people who are extraordinary in that they appreciate their worth and market themselves and their products. We buy useless products everyday primarily for the branding and the image and lifestyle that we imagine goes with it. I am a walking talking brand and nobody can sell me like I can sell me. And I am going to use it to my financial benefit. Do the same. Nobody will work for you like u can work for you. Although I have been attending these events solely to learn about business and look for business opportunities, I have had people latch on to me because they think the skills that I have will help them in their endeavours. So I now have two avenues to pursue: my own business goals and providing a service to others' businesses. This topic can have 36 more responses if I see to it- I started it, I can see to it that it runs and runs if I so please. Already it has changed direction(fixation on the fart) and I don't mind, it's generating interest even from the disinterested and that was the intention- to get people to participate, entertain and dare I say it even inform. Life is what u make it not what it makes you. That was another intention of this post, wake up and smell the fart. Are you living your life or is your life living you and wearing you out? Are you working hard or working smart? Tuujiye, man, u made me laugh. Choke on a fart, will ya?

  19. Originally posted by tHe oNe aNd OnLy: they new about the religion islam much, much better than we will...eh.. How do you work that out? Thought we lived in the Information Age. Knowledge does not equal practise anyway. Waffle on. Or surprise me. Either or really. I have time to kill.

  23. Ah, food, hate it when stressed. I have given away more lunches in the last few weeks than I care to remember. The guy next to me at work is getting fat off my food. Anywho, had a scrumptuous donught today(is that how u spell it? how can I not spell do..er, whatever), caramel layer on top. Some guy sends an email out- it's my bday, there are donughts in the kitchen. I wait for a stampede. None, it was lunchtime. Hey(to the guy who gets my lunches), there are donughts in the kitchen. He jumps out of his chair. Lets go. He picks a custard-filled one. This is bad he keeps saying though he looks like he's enjoying himself. I drool walla, and reply to the guy: Happy B day(ku ma aqaaniye), thanks for the treat. The men I work with refuse my treats- I try and share my bad habits teehee. Oh, no I couldn't I'm full, they say. U're not supposed to eat stuff like this to alleviate hunger, u just eat them! Hooga, no spirit. Another bloke has been on a diet. Sacre bleu. Even the boys are getting in on the act. I have to hide some treats or I get a sucking in of breath from one guy, 'Got a cake did u?' Yeah, and a sandwich. What did u get? A sandwich, a pastie, an apple danish, crisps and a drink. Oouucc. Where does it all go? Nicole(Lionel Richie's) daughter has become so skinny I call her, Nicole-hello-is-it-me-u're-looking-for-Richie? Her sunglasses and handbags are bigger than her. nicole I just had breakfast at midnight. Shouldn't go to bed on a partially-filled calool, should I? The caano would gush back up, Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes floating a-top. A diet tip- imagine it coming back up or going on out. Wouldn't wanna eat that would ya? Go. To. Bed. Sheh. Come with? No. Is it because I'm fat? Yes. Ka la dhimanay.
