BORN AT 6AM ON 06/06/06, HIS MUM WAS INDUCED FOR 6 DAYS, HE WEIGHS 6LBS 6OZ AND HE'S CALLED.. DAMIEN

HORROR film fan Suzanne Cooper yesterday named her baby Damien after the devil child in the The Omen, who was also born on June 6.
Suzanne went one better than the movie by hitting the full Number of the Beast with the date - 6/6/06.
Special needs teacher Suzanne, 36, was also induced for six days before Damien arrived at 6.59am, tipping the scales at a spine-chilling 6lb 6oz.
She said: "We are overjoyed about the baby. The Omen is one of our favourite films and that's why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th.
"It does seem a bit weird I suppose, but he's a perfect baby - nothing at all like Damien in The Omen."
Dad Michael rushed Suzanne to hospital in Bristol last Wednesday afternoon after she began suffering back pains.

The baby was due on Saturday and doctors decided to induce her straight away, but little Damien refused to arrive until yesterday.

Suzanne went into labour in the early hours and Damien was born shortly after 6am. Electrical engineer Mike said: "It was a devil of a birth - a bit of a horror show. Once she went into labour it was straightforward, but six days in hospital is a long time to wait.

"Suzanne and I love watching horror films and we were both keeping our fingers crossed that he would be born yesterday.

"It took a fair bit of persuasion for Suzanne to let us call him Damien but it seems fitting considering the date."

The baby also arrived on the day the remake of the 1976 film The Omen was released in the cinemas.

A spokesman at Bristol's Southmead Hospital said: "We would all like to say congratulations on the birth of their new baby.

"We're very pleased that all went smoothly with the birth and we are happy to have been involved."

Kerry Laing, who also gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, told how her gran Helen, 79, phoned family to tell them they had named him Damien.

Kerry, 20, from Cardenden, Fife, had actually called him Rhys.

Man Shoots Little Girls With Squirt Gun Loaded With Semen
Man Shoots Little Girls With Squirt Gun Loaded With Semen
"raw dogma" by Nkrumah Steward, creator of 8BM.com

As an 8-year-old girl looked at toys in an Orlando Kmart, a 5-foot-6, 160 pound man with blondish-brown hair politely approached and asked her to open her mouth. Yes, this story gets really nasty. When she refused, he pointed a fish-shaped squirt gun at her, sprayed her face, snapped her photograph and ran. What he shot on her face was not water but semen from inside a squirt gun. The picture he took was going to be used no doubt to help refill the gun.

Apparently this was at least the ninth time -- possibly the 11th -- that a bizarre child molester has struck in the past year, police said.

Most of the squirting incidents have occurred at Wal-Mart stores in Orange County. The man appears to be targeting children who are alone in the toy section of stores.

Forensic psychologist Jeffrey Danziger said the attacker may be acting out a sexual fetish. He also might suffer from a mental illness and be psychotic and delusional. Once again we can thank a forensic psychologist for his take on the fucking obvious.

"Squirting semen in someone's face would be for the purpose of the humiliation, shock and the anger it causes," Danziger said. "He's going back home to relive it and relish it. An assault like this against a child is more twisted still."

He said it was impossible to predict whether the assaults might turn more violent.

"Some sexual offenders are nonviolent, like exhibitionists," he said. "Others might progress, I've heard of strange sexual fetishes, but I've never heard of this."

Black child burned alive
By FinalCall.com News
Updated Jun 12, 2006, 06:35 pm






Malik ThomasARIZONA CITY, Ariz. (FinalCall.com) - The mother of 9-year-old Malik Thomas is still trying to sort out why her son is dead, after he was allegedly doused with gasoline and set on fire by a group of White youths. Two weeks after the incident, no one has been charged for the brutal death.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Department has released very little information on the heinous crime to the family or media. Phoenix Vice Mayor Mike Johnson and Arizona NAACP Chairman Reverend Oscar Tillman were told that the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department was investigating the death as a homicide.

However, Pinal County Sheriff Spokesman Mike Minter told the Associated Press that no homicide investigation was being conducted.
“At this time, it is a death investigation. We have not labeled it a homicide or an accident,” he was reported as saying May 27. “But if it is a homicide we will definitely press for charges.”
Malik died May 22 after being treated for severe burns to the upper body at the Maricopa County Burn Unit in Phoenix. “We want justice for Malik,” declared his grieving mother, Pamela Bishop. “They can’t give me back my baby, but I want justice.”
Malik’s grandfather, Robert Banks, was the first family member to reach the child at the scene. He described the terror of seeing Malik, sitting on the curb as paramedics and police officers waited for the Air EVAC Helicopter. A motorist and other bystanders had smothered the flames before fire officials arrived to administer first aid. An unidentified Mexican child claimed that he was also targeted for attack, but was able to run before gasoline could be thrown on him.
However, sheriff spokesman Mr. Minter said Malik and two White boys his age, including one of his closest friends, were at a construction site playing when they found a milk jug filled with liquid. The surviving boys told investigators they all began kicking the jug around a room, then tossed matches at it.
“The fumes had built up in the room and an explosion occurred,” Mr. Minter maintains. “The Black boy was standing in front of the other boys and the explosion engulfed him.”
The sheriff’s office told the family that the clothing Malik was wearing had been lost. Later, Rev. Tillman was told that the clothing was found in a locker at the Fire Department. Mr. Minter stated that doctors at the hospital said there is no sign that the clothing was saturated with a flammable liquid, but the sheriff’s office will conduct further testing.
Vice Mayor Johnson has requested the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms assist in the investigation and the NAACP wants the FBI to become involved as well.

New shark discovered in US waters

The shark prefers to breed in South Carolina waters

A new type of hammerhead shark has been discovered in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, marine scientists say.
The shark resembles a common species called the scalloped hammerhead but has not yet been classified or named.
US researchers say the animal appears to be rare, breeding only in waters off the South Carolina coast.
They believe the shark is at risk of extinction and conservation efforts are needed to protect females when they are raising their pups.
The shark was discovered by a biology professor at the University of South Carolina.
Dr Joe Quattro became curious about a common coastal shark called the scalloped hammerhead shark while studying coastal fish.
Genetic studies revealed that there was a second "cryptic" species - that is, "genetically distinct" from the scalloped hammerhead.
Nursery grounds
The shark appears to breed only in waters off South Carolina, although adults swim into waters off Florida and North Carolina.
Small areas of coastline are significant to certain species and it is so important to consider shark conservation on an area by area basis


Ali Hood, Shark Trust


"If South Carolina's waters are the primary nursery grounds for the cryptic species and females gather here to reproduce, these areas should be conservation priorities," said Dr Quattro.
"Management plans are needed to ensure that these sharks are not adversely impacted so that we can learn more."
Scientists plan to tag the shark so they can understand more about its range.
Ali Hood, director of conservation at the Shark Trust in the UK, said with only 454 recorded species of shark in the wild, it was exciting to discover another one. "It shows how small areas of coastline are significant to certain species and it is so important to consider shark conservation on an area by area basis," she said.

Remember the MUSHROOM CLOUD in NK on 9/9/04?

http://www.calendarhome.com/cgi-bin/date2.pl?month1=9&date1=9&year1=2004&month2=6&date 2=20&year2=2006
9 months 11 days 1 year between 9/9/04 MUSHROOM CLOUD IN NORTH KOREA and 6/20/2006 (this week)



http://www.calendarhome.com/cgi-bin/date2.pl?month1=9&date1=11&year1=2001&month2=6&dat e2=20&year2=2006
9 months 9 days 4 years between 9/11/01 and 6/20/2006


On 9/9/04 there was an event suspected to be a large explosion in North Korea's second northernmost province of Ryanggang. The nature and cause of the suspected explosion is the subject of speculation. There are many political implications surrounding potential causes and the secrecy of the North Korean government about it


The suspected explosion was located near the town of Yongjo-ri in the county of Kimhyŏngjik in Ryanggang. This is in a mountainous region, about 1.5 km above sea level. The explosion was about 30 km from the border with China. The area contains several military installations, including munitions factories and a secret underground military base suspected to contain a uranium enrichment plant. The Yongjori Missile Base was 10 km northeast of the explosion.

Early reports said that seismic activity had been detected early on September 9, 2004, and this was correlated with a "strangely shaped cloud", suspected to be a mushroom cloud. Together these would indicate a large explosion. The date, September 9, 2004, the 56th anniversary of the formation of North Korea, was taken as significant; North Korea has a habit of making grand military gestures on significant dates. However, the original reports have been contradicted by later reports denying that there was any explosion.

The cloud, 3.5 km to 4 km (2 miles to 2.5 miles) in diameter, was observed by a reconnaissance satellite at 11:00 on September 9, 2004. Something that was interpreted as a subsidence crater resulting from the explosion was also imaged by satellite.


edit!!! somthin will happen either today or this week.. in nk or usa

anyone remember the shootings in the capitol building 3 weeks back?

M-25 is always busy Crisis Exercise On M-25

Updated: 23:50, Saturday June 10, 2006
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...527905,00.html


A section of Britain's busiest motorway will be closed overnight while the
emergency services carry out a live major incident response exercise.

The northbound tunnels at the Dartford-Thurrock Crossing on the M25 will be
closed between 1am and 6am on Sunday morning, with diversions in place for
motorists travelling north.

Operation Orpheus will involve police, fire and ambulance services from Kent and
Essex.

A Highways Agency spokesman said: "The purpose of this is to test the
relationship between all the services in the event of the tunnel having to be
closed or if there is an incident in the tunnel.

"It's to test the capabilities of all the services. It is about working in a
co-ordinated manner."

John Aspinall, Highways Agency Divisional Director South East, said: "It is
vital to ensure that in the case of a real emergency all the parties involved
operate in an efficient manner to safeguard the public, as well as guaranteeing
the minimum disruption to traffic flow."

The Highways Agency is holding the exercise at this time to cause minimum
disruption.

It said that in previous years between 1am and 6am on this date less than 2,500
vehicles used the Dartford Tunnels travelling northbound.

The M-25 is known by motorists as the 'road from hell' because of the constant
delays suffered by users.

On 6/14/06 during my lunch hour, I had let my cat outside while I went and fixed my lunch. When I went back outside, I saw my cat "Annie" playing with a rare albino squirrel that visits us on rare occasion. Right now, the cherries are almost ripe and I caught this playing with Annie before going up to eat some cherries. It spent the afternoon eating and sleeping up in the tree!

US rejected Iranian overtures in 2003

'Officials in US President George W. Bush's administration turned down a 2003 Iranian offer to begin talks with the US, recognize Israel, and end support of Palestinian terror organizations, The Washington Post reported on Sunday.

The proposal, which arrived via fax along with a letter of authentication by a Swiss ambassador, was ignored. Reports have circulated in the past that Iran had extended its hand to the US, but the document itself was only recently obtained by the Post - reportedly from Iranian sources - and confirmed as genuine by both American and Iranian officials.'

Exploit Zambezi’s potential to reduce poverty — ex

From Tsitsi Matope in WINDHOEK, Namibia

WATER resource management experts who attended the second annual Zambezi River Stakeholders’ Meeting here last week said the region should strengthen efforts to tap from the river’s immense potential to help alleviate poverty and enhance development.

About 50 water experts from Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe, whose countries rely heavily on the Zambezi River for the development of various sectors, focused on how best they could increase and maximise the benefits from the robust water-course without over-exploiting the resource.

The experts indicated that there was a lot the region could benefit from the river if its management and coherence in the development of projects that included hydropower generation were properly co-ordinated.

Although power experts had done all the necessary groundwork and ascertained how much energy the region would benefit from, lack of commitment on the part of some Governments and inadequate resources to further tap the aspect of energy could see numerous projects collapsing.

Zambezi Action Plan Project information officer Ms Leonissa Munjoma said eight countries that rely heavily on the river had realised the importance of acting on the challenges facing the sustainability of the river with a view of maximising the benefits accruing to communities.

"It is true that agricultural sectors of the eight countries are heavily supported by the existence of the Zambezi. It feeds into many dams that include Kariba, amongst many others.

"The experts are very sensitive about issues pertaining to land usage around and along the Zambezi River course. This is why they will continue meeting to discuss past agreements to see whether they are being implemented at various levels," Ms Munjoma said.

The experts said the sustainability of the "River of Life", therefore, was under threat and it was up to all the stakeholders, ranging from the Governments, civic organisations to the local communities, to be more serious and organise themselves to see how best to protect the river.

"At least 42 million people live on the Zambezi basin and managing their activities that affect the flow of the river is a major challenge. We need to set up effective systems to be able to reach all stakeholders and influence them to play their part," World Conservation water engineer Mr Lenka Thamae said.

He added that any more delays to the ratification of the Zambezi Water Course Commission by some countries would further hinder efforts being made to protect the river.

"The ratification of this important commission will go a long way in making countries more responsible and help them to prioritise issues to do with the protection of the river," he added.

The Zambezi River sustains agriculture, the fishing industry, tourism and communication, energy, and industry, and sustains the health sector, mining and infrastructure development, among many other essential socio-economic facets.

The Zambezi River is, however, viewed as the river of life, which miraculously starts from a wonder tree in Zambia before it bulges into a very powerful water source that passes through some of the eight countries.

What came out strongly during a session that looked at the water challenges the eight countries were faced with, was the need to properly manage the usage of water for consumption, industry and agriculture.

An example of how arid countries like Namibia properly use and manage water was cited.

The country receives very little rain and this has compelled local authorities to take drastic measures that include putting stickers at all strategic places reminding people of the need to conserve water.

Experts from Zimbabwe said there was need to solve water problems in the country that were largely a result of the Zimbabwe National Water Authority’s poor distribution.

‘Some infrastructural developments at Victoria Fal

Bulawayo Bureau

THE United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation and the World Conservation Union have asked the World Heritage Committee to investigate whether Victoria Falls should remain on the World Heritage Site following revelations that Zambia has approved the construction of 500 chalets in the rainforest.

According to Unesco regulations, the construction of the chalets would negatively impact on the natural state of the rainforest.

In an interview after a three-day consultative meeting with the Zambian and Zimbabwean officials, the deputy director of the World Heritage Centre in Paris, Mr Kishore Rao, said the joint consultative meetings were meant to improve conservation programmes on both sides of the rainforest.

He said his delegation was looking at various aspects that included tourism regulations and infrastructural development within the rainforest.

He said some of the infrastructural developments were a threat to the site.

"We are here to assess the state of the site in terms of the rules and regulations governing the world heritage sites. The regulations are meant to improve the state of conservation and there are specific regulations that we want to see being implemented.

"Some infrastructural developments are a threat to the site and we are making assessments on the both sides of the site," he said.

Mr Rao said the results on whether or not to de-list the site as a World Heritage Site would only be known after a WHC meeting in June next year.

Mr Rao was, however reluctant to comment on the variance between Livingstone and Victoria Falls in terms of meeting the requirements of WHC.

"We came to Zimbabwe, met Government officials in Harare and we arrived here (Victoria Falls) and we visited the sites and then we went to Livingstone where we also visited some sites.

"We are now leaving for Lusaka where we intend to meet government officials there as some of the decisions might be political. So it will be premature if I am to say anything concerning the delisting of the site," he said.

On Wednesday, the commission visited a refuse dumpsite, the Helipad and on the Zambian side they visited the proposed site of the 500 chalets.

By Patricia Hoskins
Hundreds of people braved really wet and cold weather and slept rough for one night in a carpark, to raise the awareness of youth homelessness in the city. See highlights from the event.

Jennifer really enjoyed the experienceOn Friday 24th November over 400 people of all ages and backgrounds, wrapped themselves up in warm clothing, sleeping bags and plastic sheets and bedded down in cardboard boxes for the night in a Digbeth carpark, to help raise funds for Birmingham based homeless charity St Basils.
"Our biggest Sleep Out yet..."

Communications Officer Catherine Clarke was really pleased with the turn out and said it was their biggest ever Sleep Out event:
“This years Sleep Out has been our best attended yet! As the weather forecast predicted we had winds and heavy rain, but that didn't turn people away, they've still turned up in their droves.
Taking part"Last year we raised £ 30,000 and this year we are set to raise £40,000 to help us continue to do our fantastic work. The atmosphere has been great.
"Next year we’re hoping the event will be even bigger.”
A homeless life

The fundraising event highlighted the issues of youth homelessnes across the city and raised money for young people trying to set up new homes for themselves and to prevent more young people from becoming homeless in the future.
Sutton Coldfield MP Andrew Mitchell attended the fundraising event to show his support:
Nathan from Millennium Volunteers“I think it’s a really important cause. It’s poured down with rain and everyone is getting terribly wet, but what I’ve noticed the most is the enthusiasm of everyone involved.
“St Basils work very hard to keep young people from sleeping rough on the streets of Birmingham, the charity also gives them hope for the future, their self respect and the opportunity to help themselves.”
A real eye opener

At he end of the night a free breakfast of toast and a hot drink was supplied by St Basils and the temporary cardboard homes were thrown away.
Home for the night But while the hundreds of people who took part went home to a hot bath and a warm bed hundreds of young people across the city still don’t have a roof over their head they can call home.
Claire Lewis from Harborne spent the night sleeping outside in a cardboard box to help raise funds for St Basils:
“It’s been good fun but very wet and very cold. The experience has been a real eye opener for me to think that some people have to sleep like this every night and not being able to go home to a bed and a hot shower.”
