Love rock too, Dont like most of the Hard Metal Bands though I love some Hard Metal tracks. I prefer the punk rock and alternative rock. My collection is too long to start mentioning here and I listen to whichever artist based on my mood. |

obinna5000: @Shaunscot "The Ugly Truth" was somehow manageable. "The Bounty Hunter" was thrash. Your Opinion. I laughed from beginning to end for Ugly Truth.So to me,it was awesome. And I didnt say The Bounty Hunter was all that.I said I liked it. My opinion still stays |

[size=3pt]Except for How to Train Your Dragon & Law Abiding Citizen[/size] Blasphemy. Ugly truth was awesome and I loved The Bounty Hunter too. Not to mention Law Abiding Citizen(Good Story - abit flawed though) |

Thanks guys. The issue is we dont even know when this would clear up so to reschedule will still be tentative. I was on hold for 8 minutes and 10 minutes when I called Arik's line When I finally got through,I ran out of airtime-pretty sad init?
Anyway,Im just hoping.Considering my luggage is accumulating bills at the airport everyday.
Spoke to my bosses, I was just told to keep them posted. |

osaass: People forget Barcelona is not really about Messi. but about a number of unsong heroes.
Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Puyol, Alves and Pique. Without these players, there would not be the Messi that we know today.
Why do you think Messi struggles to perform so far for Argentinas senior national team? Very True. Both goals were provided by Xavi. Eto is currently having difficultis scoring in Inter. the strength of Barca is in their team play |

The site Buddy TV talked to the writers Sera Gamble and Ben Edlund as well with Executive Producer Robert Singer at the Supernatural 100th Episode Party.
This part of the article is about their plans on Season 6, which was confirmed today.
Read the article:
Today, the CW officially renewed Supernatural for season 6, which has fans excited and asking one huge question: What happens after the Apocalypse?
Season 5 of Supernatural has seen the rise of Lucifer, the arrival of the Four Horsemen and an eventual conclusion to creator Eric Kripke's fabled five-year plan for the series. Now that there's a sixth year, what's the new plan?
I spoke to some of the creative forces behind the show during the 100th episode party a little over two weeks ago. We chatted about the possibility of a sixth season and what might follow the Apocalypse.
In a nutshell, producer and director Robert Singer summed it up best: "Year six won't have the scope that this season has had. It's tough to top the Apocalypse."
Writer Sera Gamble agreed, saying "Why would you ever try to go bigger than Lucifer?" Instead, her idea for the future of Supernatural is "You just turn left and go a whole other direction. The show has never really been about God and the angels and demons, it's a show about Sam and Dean."
Gamble added, "There has always been a deep well to jump into in the boys' relationship, We have the opportunity to go back from the epic to a more intimate story."
Another Supernatural writer, Ben Edlund, also believes that getting back to basics is the way to go for season 6. "We can reset in a lot of ways and go back to stand-alones." But after writing dark and disturbing episodes like "On the Head of a Pin" and "Abandon All Hope," the best part about season 6 for Edlund could be that "I can be funny again."
Clearly season 6 is something the Supernatural team has put a lot of thought into. While the heightened mythology of the angels and the Apocalypse may be thrilling, fans longing for the simpler times of scary monsters of the week and heartfelt brotherly love can look forward to a sixth season focusing on the key elements that made Supernatural a success in the first place. It can go both ways if u ask me.Seeing more of the brothers might be a good thing but if the stories are wacked then they can me sure to lose my viewership |
Christianity Etc › Re: What's Your Take On Divorce? by Shaunscot(m): 12:11pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
victorazy: My dear, maybe your not a christian. No pastor will encourage divorce cuz is not biblical, God does not permit it and thats why u should pray before involving urself to someone for marriage. If u marry and later foundout that u both are not compatible, u can still solve the problem cuz is all about "FOR BETTER & FOR WORSE" Wrong. A man can leave his wife (or vice versa) on the grounds of infidelity. I see nothing wrong with divorce.If for some reason they find out they are not compactible and they cant work it out,are they supposed to continue the union as enemies? |
Crime › Re: Banker In Efcc Custody Over N45 Million Scam by Shaunscot(m): 11:21am On Apr 06, 2010 |
Aloy+Emeka: Banker in EFCC custody over N45 million scam Home | News | Crime/Legal | Banker in EFCC custody over N45 million scam Font size: Published 05/04/2010 00:11:00 Edwin Olofu
The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has arrested a 40-year-old Afribank Plc official, Asmau A. Gaanda, who allegedly defrauded her bank to the tune of N44.5 million. The media head of the EFCC in Kano, Aroyehun Gbenga, who announced the arrest over the weekend, said the woman will soon be arraigned before a competent court of law in Kano. Mr. Aroyehun said Mrs. Gaanda’s confessional statement included how, in one instance, she claimed to have handed out N13.4million to an unknown person as loan. “She said she could not recognise the man, as he did not present any identification card at the point of payment. People may wonder what has happened to the customer procedure, the Regis Cope, and other measures that are required before customers make such large withdrawals.” The EFCC official said the branch’s internal control mechanism completely broke down and staff routinely violated procedures. The accused, he said, did whatever she liked with customers accounts, including crediting one with the fund of another in order to perpetuate fraud. She also allegedly credited customers accounts without physical cash backing. This is known in the industry as ‘dry posting’. “This is just the tip of iceberg of fraud perpetrated by Mrs. Gaanda and her co-conspirators in three branches of Afribank,” Mr. Aroyehun further said. “Investigation revealed that the fraud was committed over a long time without detection by the management of the bank and total amount involved is a whopping forty-four million, five-hundred and thirty-seven thousand, ninety-seven naira (N44,537,337,97k).
[img]http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/thumbnail.php?file=News-images/banker_854378615.jpg&size=article_small[/img]
“The thirteen million she allegedly gave to the unknown person came through seven accounts from which she made equally fraudulent withdrawals. The accounts were 058080483414 - N3,310,000.00; 0580805371419 - N1.5m; 0580806436417 -N1.7m; 0580807482412 - N3.6m; 058082602417 - N3m; 0580804703418 -N702, 000.00; Alarams - N1, 290.000.00. All these accounts were opened at the Kanti Kwari Market in Kano and the suspect was the Head of Traffic, a position that gave her the opportunity to open those accounts and withdrew money from them at will.”
Living above means She was also accused of making withdrawals from several customers deposits; either alone or in collusion with other suspects such as Umar Garki, Maigeri Barde Adamu, and Maikudi Abba. Nine customers were involved in this scheming. “Moreover, the suspects also practised fraudulent under-packaging of bundles of naira. For instance, they embedded N200 notes in N1000.00 and mixed N50 notes with packets of N100 bills,” the EFCC official said. “She stole customer’s chequebooks, forged their signatures, and withdrew money from their accounts without their knowledge. A case is the fraudulent withdrawal of N13. 912.000 from one account. In another case, she forged withdrawal slip of another customer and took N3.5m. “The bank vault did not escape the itchy hands of this woman: she took money from it without authorisation, and whenever she needed it. Sometimes, she graciously put IOU notes there and even encouraged her co- conspirators to do it. The IOU notes depleted the vault to the tune of N6m.” Mr. Aroyehun of the EFCC said he will soon charge Mrs. Gaanda to court for conspiracy, theft, forgery, and obtaining money by false pretence. “This 40-year-old woman depicts the level of rot in the banking system, especially the non-observance of internal control mechanism and lack of thorough supervision,” he said. “A more fundamental issue is the infiltration of the banking system by rogues and fraudsters and the need for the subsector to do background checks on would-be employees. It also needs to quickly respond to early warning symptoms like employees living above their means.”
http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/crime/5230-Banker-EFCC-custody-over-N45-million-scam.html Whatever happened to control and audit. Are these not the checks and balances put in place for scenerios like this? Some people need to lose their jobs over this and deservedly so. |

Season 1 and 2 werent boring.
The truth is - The series had a slow start.
Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 1 were kinda slow.
I started supernatural from Season 2 but I had to go buy the DVD for seasons 1 and 2 after a couple of episodes. |

@pipz Maybe the love-vendor named slickbag, though Huey is just too smart for his age. @Darthmaul Well, he was quite prominent midway-He had to protect the other from the JupponGatana (Shishio's croonies). So I'd still state that he was the strongest in that anime series. Not to forget Shuogo (The other Hiten Mitsurugi guy that blinded Kenshin with the 'sword of light'). Now that Im talking about it, I think I'd watch it again.Luckily,I still have all 95 episodes  |
Jokes Etc › Re: Weird Facts 1 by Shaunscot(m): 2:07pm On Apr 04, 2010 |
The actual facts, Here we go. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home, maybe at work.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates intimacy by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the, ?!"  The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes, lucky pig, can you imagine??) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life, quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm, ) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing, ) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have intimacy for pleasure. (What about that pig??) |
