8/5/2008 FROM ITALY TO ABERDEEN!Rippled by a string of high-profile polive busts, including the capture of the "Boss Of Bosses", Bernardo Provenzano, the once all powerful Italian-Sicilian Mafia is a dying criminal superpower. In it's place, a rival mob called "The Camorra", which translates as 'The System', is now flexing it's underworld muscles. In Naples, masked troops were called in to clear up a city in the grip of corruption and knee-deep in the waste of a Camorra-Enforced rubbish collection strick. And Italy is just the Camorrista's first stop. More business savvy & better organised than their Sicilian counterparts, they are hell-bent on global domination. "They're a huge, powerful & determined organisation" says author Roberto Saviano, who infiltrated the gang. "The system have an international reach in many legitimate industries such as construction and high fashion, backed with booming business in drug trafficking & extortion." In fact, the Camorra's business mix is estimated by the Italian Goverment to have secured them the lion's share of the jaw-dropping €150 Billion (£113 Billion), earned by organised crime every year. Based in the southren Italian city of Naples, the Camorra have been quietly exerting their influence locally for decades. During the 1980's, the group were preoccupied with a bitter turf war that claimed the lives of 700 & threated to rip the city apart. Eventually they found an unstable peace. The System went about their crooked practises, extorting millions from local businesses and goverment agencies (And, if reports are to be believed, corrupting Diego Maradona, who was allegedly linkedto the crime syndicates duri his time playing for Napoli). The change came in 2004, as the Cosa Nostra began losing its grip on the country. Sensing their chance, it was then that the Camorra began their rise to prominence. A bloody gang vendetta broke out & there were 140 shootings that year, forcing the Italian Goverment to send extra police to Naples.But the war raged on. At one stage in 2005, there was at least one killing every 48 hours. "These are not the Mafia stereotypes from films", says Amato Lamberti, a Camorra expert from Naples University. "The Camorra is like a state within the state. They have their own set of rules, code of conduct, intelligence & security forces, making it very hard for the police to intervene in this." So it was no thanks to the police the spate of killings ended in 2005. It was because a new Camorra order had emerged from the fiery power struggle, who were committed to an aggressive plan of global expansion. In late 2005, Pietro Nocera, one of the group's chief financiers, was picked up in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, where - Spanish police claimed - he was "Finding financial support". Also, in 2005, Raffaele Amato, the suspected head of one of the gangs, was arrested in Barcelona. However, the arrest of an alleged hitman in Preston, England, is most worrying. It seems to comfirm a Saviano allegation - that "The UK is now a major powr base for the Comorra". "Aberdeen is the door to Great Britain," he explains. "Many young Italian men from Mondragone [A region of Italy with a strong Camorra connections] have made the journey and have built many reputable businesses. But the strength of Italian commerce lies in it never dismissing its criminal origins." In Aberdeen, this system is called "Scratch". When the Italians moderate the intensity of their crooked pursuits according to how well legitimate ventures are going. If a resaurant business is quite & a tax bill needs to be paid, they'll ramp up their narcotics business. The Sicilian Mafia refuse to let non-Italians rise to positions of power, but it seems a Brit is now in charge of a UK-Based Camorra clan. "British participation in various levels of clan activity is indispensable & some Brits have become affiliates", Saviano reveals. "I had heard talk of this manfor years & when I went to Aberdeen, I had to ask about him. I didn't get hostile stares or vague answers. It seemed as if they'd know about him forever. The English boss was the man who had made it...Become part of The System. Without ever seeing Italy, he had become a man of real power. A Camorrista..." 3/8/2008 ABERDEEN'S CITY STATUS UNDER THREAT!Aberdeen's status as Scotland's third city will be under threat unless there is a major increase in the number of homes built each year, a senior Aberdeen City Councillor Said. Liberal Democrat deputy leader Neil Fletcher said about 300 affordable houses needed to be built each year untill 2030 or the city would be overtaken in population size by Dundee. The comments came after city council leaders indicated that the first programme of family-sized council-home building in Aberdeen for more than 20 years could be announced on budget day next month. The local authority's draft structure plan identifies the need for 35,000 new houses in the city by 2030. My Fletcher told councillors at the policy and strategy committee meeting that between 200 and 300 affordable homes would have to be built each year untill then if the target was to be met. "It would be terrible for Aberdeen to become Scotland fourth city! We need to do something serious about the level of housing in Aberdeen. Basically, this is the way we stop the decline in population, by building new homes." Population estimates from 2006 show the Aberdeen City Council area was home to 206,880 people and 142,170 people lived in Dundee. Falling population levels in Aberdeen are predicted to continue in coming years, and Mr Fletcher said 'IT WAS DOWN TO PEOPLE MOVING TO '''''ABERDEENSHIRE''''',' because of the city's accommodation shortage. "Their's lots of factors but, 'THE MAIN FACTOR IS THE TRANSFER OF POPULATION FROM THE CITY TO ABERDEENSHIRE! It's not because of unemployment - It's a lack of affordable housing. People aren't leaving the North-East." A total of 878 homes were built in the city in 2006, 809 of them privately, 62 by houseing associations and seven, that > '7' < by the council. House prices in Aberdeen rose faster than any other city in Britain last year, according to one building society report. The council wants to place a 25% affordable-homes quota on new housing developments but may br forced to accept a 10% quota temporarily on the recommendation of Scottish Goverment reporters. The council's proposed family-home building programme depends on the goverments Firm Foundations consultation recommending an end to tenants right to buy new local authority homes. Councillors agreed a response to the consultation at the meeting. "We all want something to address the social housing needs that are obvious to us all.", Said SNP group deputy leader Jim Kiddie. "It is not going to be solved overnight We've got to be vigilant." THE AULD ENEMY!For years, tourist chiefs have tried to show the world their is more to Scotland than tartan and shortbread.
But despite the country's stunning scenery, rich history and buzzing cities, a new survey reveals our English neighbours still associate life north of the border with whisky, haggis and tossing the caber. Research shows social stereotypes are thriving in today's culture, with one in three people in England refusing to head north because they belive the Scots to be prejudiced towards them, while half regard Scotland as a cold and miserable place. The data also shows 81% of Scots harbour prejudiced views of their southerly neighbours, with half regarding English people as arrogant and snobbish and a third believing them to be unfriendly. only 7% of Scots though a leading quality of the English was intelligence. And when English people were asked what came to their mind first when they though of Scotland, 37% said whiskey, 26% said haggis and 24% said ginger men in kilts. The other most common associations were tossing the caber and Mel Gibbson's Braveheart. The survey was commissioned by the Travlelodge. The extensive study of 2,000 UK adults found that 75% of Scots believe there is a "SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL DIVIDE" between Scotland and England. One in five Glaswegians has never been to England while 50% of Aberdonians have never been more than three times. THE G-SPOT!The good news is that it actually exists. The bad news is that not every woman has one.
But, after nearly 60 years of searching, scientists said yesterday that they have definitively located the G-spot.
The fabled erogenous zone, which is thought to heighten pleasure during lovemaking, has been a source of heated debate ever since it was "identified" in 1950.
Despite plenty of anecdotal evidence in its favour from women, many doctors and scientists have insisted that it is a myth.
Italian researchers say, however, that ultrasound scans reveal anatomical differences between those who claim to have a G-spot and those who don't. The team, led by Emmanuele Jannini at the University of L'Aquila, found that tissue between the urethra and vagina was thickest in women who reported they had the erogenous zone.
The researchers also found tell-tale chemical markers in the area, New Scientist reports today. These markers include chemicals that process the nitric oxide responsible for male arousal.
Dr Jannini said this had allowed his team to develop a medical test to identify whether a woman has a G-spot.
"For the first time it is possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has a G-spot or not," said Dr Jannini.
Because the study was so small, he said his suspicion that a large proportion of women had no G-spot was only a guess.
An expert whose research team coined the term G-spot in 1981 disputed this estimate.
Beverley Whipple, of Rutger's University School of Nursing in New Jersey, said: "It's an intriguing study but it doesn't necessarily mean that women who don't experience orgasm don't have any tissue there." Her studies have shown that all women describe some sensitivity in the area of the G-spot. It is also possible that women who experience more intense sexual pleasure have learned through practice, thereby altering their anatomy.
Studies of twins back the idea that women who say they have a G-spot are physiologically different.
In 2005, Dr Tim Spector, of St Thomas' Hospital in London, found that female arousal depended partly on genetic inheritance. "This [the Italian] study raises the possibility that local genital differences rather than purely genetic differences in brain responses or personality may be important," he said. Dr Elisabeth Lloyd, from Indiana University and author of The Case of the Female Orgasm, said: "If Jannini's correlation does hold true, it would help explain the fact that most women do not reliably have orgasm with intercourse."
The G-spot was named after Ernst Grafenberg, a German gynaecologist who proposed its existence in 1950. The landmark Hite Report on Female Sexuality in 1976 suggested that the clitoris is largely responsible for orgasms in most women. 2/15/2008 I'VE FOUND THE GATEWAY TO MY LIFE!I am just keeping this short and sweet! I just want to tell the world that I love a very sexy and cute girl called 'Hannah Louise Gibson'. I love her with all my heart and we started going out on the 11/10/2007! I love you Baby-Girl! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 3/8/2007 WWW.LUGBOOKS.CO.UKWWW.LUGBOOKS.CO.UK Whats on this site you ask, well, click & you'll find out! It's run by my dad so what else can I say......! Payed me £425 for this so what can you do! LOL 11/22/2006 S.Y.C....IN THE MIX, HERE TWA THOOSAND AN SIX, GLASGOW STYLE!Let me explain. In England {mainly}, their is a type of person called 'Chav'. Their are many other names & different types of people living in England but am here to talk about this 'Chav'. I want to get this stright...Well, the music part anyway. The music that these chav's listen to {mostly} is a type of dance music. This type of dance music is called 'Happy Hardcore' and everyone is England call it chav music. Even people in Wales & Northren Ireland call it chav music but Northren Ireland do & don't call it that because......(I'll explain later....) My point is that 40-50% of the Happy Hardcore they listen to is made by youths at the other end of a p.c or D.J kit & around 70-80% of the 'home-made' music is made in 'SCOTLAND'. And as we should all know, chav's don't exist in Scotland. You get 'Bams, Casuals & Neds'. These are the main three. Their's more like goths but fuck them. Bams, Casuals & Neds is a Scottish thing. Un-like goths & that shite. Anyway....back to the point. Listen to these tunes. Pretty much most of them have people speaking/singing in them & pretty much everyone is Scottish singing about their youth gang or slaging off other youth gangs or about someone or even girlfriends & Scotland! So, if it's Scottish, started in Scotland & song by Scottish.....why is it called 'Chav music'? I've heard 'English youth' styles of homemade happy hardcore & even in their versions their trying to make it sound like a Scottish youth made it. Apart from you can tell as they sometimes just make up words & have 'INIT' in the song to & the word 'init' is an English slang word which is not spoken in Scotland. The English youth propley does'nt even know what 'Whit', 'Canna' or even 'Polis' means. Another thing is that they even sometimes say their from Scotland (Seems like the have'nt seen the film 'Braveheart' LOL), mosty Glasgow but when you ask them where in Glasgow their from, it's either......No responce......They've suddenly go off-line or they might have the balls to replie & they'll say the 'Thurso' area of Glasgow! Oh yeah, am sure Glasgow is 300miles long. Thurso is right at the top of the Scottish mainland as Glasgow is in central-west Scotland. Or they might know someone in Aberdeen & think that the Scottish cities share the same district names as each other so don't let it be a shock if some chav says they live in the 'Tillydrone' area of Glasgow. To end this point, all am saying is....Why do you call it 'chav music'!!!!!!? It's Scottish so it's 'NED MUSIC'. The Scottish ned has been around for years & years as the English chav is fairly new. To my fellow Scots.....Drop the chav word......& use 'NED'. S.Y.C = SCOTTISH YOUTH CULTURE 9/28/2006 HATE OR LOVE THEM, GATSO 911Did you know that Gatso speed cameras, well most of them are placed at a location were their has been a crash in-which three people have died in the last three years? No, either did I till I heard it on T.V. 9/27/2006 EK WAVEFRONT IN ALBA!Alright folks! 6/14/2006 TRUE OIL WEALTH HIDDEN TO STOP INDEPENDENCEA secret Whitehall dossier 30 years ago warned of the powerful case for Independence with booming oil revenues, but the information was kept confidential to keep nationalism at bay. The 1974 Scottish Office report written by Professor Gavin McCrone was classified as secret but was obtained by the SNP under Freedom of Information. It shows the British Government was aware of the huge wealth of North Sea Oil; of the political implications; and that Scottish independence was not only theoretically possible but economically desirable: "Thus for the first time since the Act Of union was passed, it can now be credibly argued that Scotland's economic advantage lies in its repeal" SNP Shadow Justice Minister, Mr Kenny MacAskill MSP said: "We have been lied to for a generation. 30 years of lies, both Labour and Tory governments have conspired to deny Scotland our rightful wealth. They knew how wealthy Scotland is and how wealthy our people could be, but they lied to us. "Rather than expanding our economy, investing in our industry and creating a better society for our people, our wealth bankrolled Thatcher's invidious ideology, and propped up New Labour's Cool Britannia and illegal wars. "Some countries discovered oil and made the desert bloom. We discovered oil and created, in too many places, an industrial desert. "Thirty wasted years, there can be no more delay. It was Scotland's oil then, and it's Scotland's oil now. A generation has been failed, now it is up to this generation to use the oil wealth as it should have been a generation before." Shadow Enterprise Minister, Mr Jim Mather MSP said: "The Scottish Office not only looked a gift horse in the mouth but tried to prove that a godsend was a curse. Since oil was discovered they have talked it down, telling us it would soon run out. "Now it's time for us to talk about what we will do with our assets. "With oil at only $45 a barrel there is still at least a trillion pounds worth of oil left in the North Sea, at $62 a barrel there's 1.5 trillion pounds worth of oil. That's Scotland's oil. "It's time we took control of our own assets and turned the corner for Scotland, changing us from a branch economy into a fully functioning, fully integrated global player. It's time for an independent Scotland. " 5/8/2006 THE PULSEINATORBloody hell......I love Scotland.
