  1. So you want your coffee faster , do you..... Police tell the MetroWest Daily News that the customer — whom they did not identify — left the coffee shop because it was taking to long to make his coffee. Zazulak allegedly followed him outside, pulled a folding knife, and slashed the tires. Yikes that is certainly one way to keep your customers from going anywhere else.....
  2. oh sure, but just wait until Schopp and The Bull Dog , get their teeth into this story..... then we will all hear something....
  3. Young Lady sleeping with at least eight boys at the time The 13-year-old Alfie, who scarcely looks 10 was reported on Friday to be Maisie’s a father. AP reports that Alfie was just 12 when he allegedly impregnated Chantelle now 15. Asked what he would do to support the child financially, Alfie asks in a small, high-pitched voice, “What’s financially?” The girl was taking birth control pills but missed one, the newspaper reported.
  4. No I have not betrayed anything. That a person knows or does not know about security, in my opinion is by choice. If a professional leaves the connection again is by choice or incompetence. Its my opinion those who leave their connection usecure are comparable to those who have unprotected sex and then claim they did not know it could be dangerous. On the ethics issue , its my opinion it is unethical of a person to leave his or her connection open for all, the time will soon come and in some places it does exist where if you leave your connection open, and it causes difficulty for network you will be liable and the very least your connection suspended , frequently doing so will result in loss of service. Informing a person that their connection is unsecure is the polite thing to do be both provider and a neighbor or person using it. The account holder of that connection has then the option of securing it or living with ramifications. Ignorance does not cut it.
  5. As of Friday am back to using my own connection. It has been interesting to read all the differing views on using a unsecure connection. Given that there is a option of either securing or leaving a connection unsecure, that i was using a connection that was connected on my own property, I think it totally the choice of connection owner to secure it or leave it open. I don't buy the argument of ignorance, either one read all the documentation on installing a item and knowing the usage of item or they have a professional install item for them. I did not know which neighbors connection I was using , or most certainly I would have thanked him or her for allowing me to use it and if they had been unaware that others could use their connection would have shown them how to secure it , if that be their choice.
  6. Is it legal to use a neighbors unsecured wireless connection.....?
  7. Bol visited his native country regularly — nearly every summer during his NBA career. On one of his early trips, he met and married his first wife, Atong, then 18, a southern Sudanese refugee. Starting in 1991, Bol began making visits to southern Sudanese refugee camps. Many of Bol's relatives were leaders in the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the rebel movement. He became an important backer of the rebels, contributing an estimated $3.5 million. Bol and his cousin Ed Bona, a former college basketball player at Fordham, met with dozens of members of Congress, warning of Muslim extremists and begging for U.S. intervention. They picketed the Sudanese embassy. President Clinton had ordered the cruise-missile strike on a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant suspected of aiding the manufacture of chemical weapons. It was retaliation for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, linked by U.S. officials to Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network. The attack was a turning point for Bol. The government accused him of being a spy, he says. He tried to leave in 1999, but the government stopped him. His money dwindled as he supported himself and 20 relatives. On his second attempt in 2001, Bol marched to the immigration office and demanded an exit visa. An officer told him to come back with a bribe - there is more. Bol is very much committed to his country, Last setence of article: Although relieved to be out of Sudan, he dreams of returning home. His ideal retirement would be split between the countries he's called home. "I want my country to be like this some day," he says. "This is my dream." -He did the handing out, he is not looking for one.
  8. The Story of Manute Bol Manute Bol lopes across the lawn toward his house, covering the distance in a few, giant strides. At 42, Bol's joints ache from rheumatism, but he still carries his 7-foot-7-inch frame erect and proud. His face is a little fuller than it was during his years in the National Basketball Association, when his celebrity and singular ability to block shots earned him millions. The money is gone now. His house is sparsely furnished; the furniture, slightly ragged. The rent is paid by Catholic Charities, a group that helps political refugees. That's what Bol is now. He moved to West Hartford with his wife, son and half-sister a few months ago, having finally made the painful decision to leave behind the Sudanese homeland that he loved but could not find a place in anymore. He made a daring escape, complicated by the Sept. 11 attacks. Bol never forgot Sudan during the years of wealth and fame. He couldn't, he says. That cost him nearly everything. 'God gave this to me' Southern Sudan is the home of the Dinkas, the tallest people in the world and Bol's tribe. With a flat-footed reach of 10 feet, 6 inches, Bol is so tall that the average man comes up to his rib cage. His inseam measures nearly 5 feet, and he wears size-16-1/2 sneakers. He can drive a car only if its front seat is removed. The first time he tried to dunk a basketball, he smashed his face on the rim and lost two teeth. Bol was the tallest man to ever play in the NBA, until Gheorghe Muresan, a Romanian with a pituitary gland condition, beat him out by a few millimeters. "God gave this to me," Bol says. His grandfather, Bol Chol, reputed to be 7 feet, 10 inches, was a powerful chieftain and had 40 wives. Bol's father, Madut Bol, was only 6-foot-8, but had seven wives and a large cattle herd — a sign of great wealth. His second wife, Okwok, was 6-foot-10. After having stillborn twins twice, she gave birth to Manute, whose name means "blessing from God." Unlike his city-dwelling cousins, Bol never went to school; instead, he herded goats and cattle. When he came of age, he went through the manhood rituals: his front bottom-row teeth were pried out, and deep incisions were made around his head with a knife. When he was 15, at the suggestion of relatives, he gave basketball a try. Bol walked three days from his village to join his first team.
  9. The $40 Million Elbow You might have seen “Le Rêve,” Picasso’s 1932 portrait of his mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, in your college art-history textbook. The painting is owned by Steve Wynn, the casino magnate and collector of masterpieces. He acquired it in a private sale in 2001 from an anonymous collector, who had bought it at auction in 1997 for $48.4 million. Recently, Wynn decided that he’d like to sell it, along with several other museum-quality paintings he owns. A friend of his, the hedge-fund mogul and avid collector Steven Cohen, had coveted “Le Rêve” for years, so he and Wynn and their intermediaries worked out a deal. Cohen agreed to pay a hundred and thirty-nine million dollars for it, the highest known price ever paid for a work of art. - read the article to find out what happens
  10. Oh here this will help, just hmmm this for awhile, Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by, Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the building scrape the sky, Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn And the morning paper flies, Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Find someone who's turning And you will come around. Blind man running through the light of the night With an answer in his hand, Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand, Red lights flashing through the window in the rain, Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, If you're walking home alone. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around.
  11. WFAN, reports that Lidle and three persons inside the building are known to have died at this time...
