Over-the-limit pilot avoids jail-Story concluded

An American pilot who turned up at Heathrow Airport to fly a transatlantic jet while over the alcohol limit has avoided a jail sentence. Captain Erwin Vermont Washington, 51, was given a ten-month suspended sentence at London's Isleworth Crown Court. Washington was charged after a concerned colleague who smelled alcohol on his breath reported him to police. There were 124 passengers and 11 crew members on board flight UA949 to Chicago and the departure of the United Airlines Boeing 767 was "imminent" when officers arrived at Terminal One.

Sentencing him Judge Sam Katkhuda said his behaviour was "simply not acceptable".

Washington of Lakewood, Colorado, was found to have more than double the amount of alcohol in his blood for flying when he was tested on November 9 last year. The court was told the highly experienced pilot, a married father of three, was over the legal alcohol limit as a result of a "miscalculation". But Judge Katkhuda told him: "This is simply not acceptable, it was entirely voluntary on your part that you consumed alcoholic drink." He added: "As pilot, you know well that travelling on air craft not only places special duty on passengers to behave in a reasonable manner, but also places special responsibility on pilots to comply with their duty. "When you arrived to take control of this flight for Atlantic Airlines to Chicago the air crew noticed alcohol on your breath and were disturbed enough to report the matter to airport authorities."(my view)-See.....there is NO justice!

Jesus was gay, claims Sir Elton

Sir Elton John is facing a backlash from conservative Christian groups after stating in an interview that Jesus was a gay man. The 62-year-old musician also opened up to US magazine Parade about the "life-threatening downside" of fame and his relationship with partner David Furnish. But it's the Rocket Man's views on Jesus's sexuality which have sparked headlines across the world. In the interview, to be published in America on Saturday, Sir Elton said: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. "On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead." Stephen Green, director of Christian Voice, described the gay claim as "rubbish". He said: "The Bible says Jesus was without sin and that rules out homosexuality. This is a desperate cry for attention." Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute, dismissed the star's views, saying: "Had a senior political figure made these comments, I would have had an opinion. But this is Elton John and I don't think anybody takes him seriously." Gay Christian groups acknowledged Sir Elton, who is often pictured wearing a crucifix, had reopened debate on homosexuality and the church. Jeremy Marks, founder and director of Courage, a Christian organisation for Gays and Lesbians, said: "None of us know and will never know what Jesus's sexuality was. Certainly people's perceptions of relationships between men, and men and women, were different then and would be unrecognisable today. I think he is explaining how he sees Jesus in his life and wants to encourage other people to see that too."(my view)-Of course the queen of the fags would say that.....its this sausage lover that is seeking attention......take an overdose will yea!

Stop sexualising children, says David Cameron

Conservative leader David Cameron has called for an end to the "inappropriate sexualisation" of children. Parents should be able to complain via a specially set-up website about offensive marketing tactics used by companies, he said. Mr Cameron also told the BBC that firms which flout the rules should not be allowed to bid for government contracts for three years. Such moves were needed to stop children being "bombarded", he added. In 2008, Woolworths withdrew a girls' bedroom furniture range called Lolita - the same name as the 1955 Vladimir Nabokov novel about a man's sexual obsession with his 12-year-old stepdaughter.

Magazines

Supermarkets have been criticised for selling padded bras and pole-dancing kits aimed at children. And some teachers have called for girls' magazines to be given age ratings, arguing they "glamorise" sexual promiscuity. Mr Cameron said: "It's time for action. As parents we all worry about our children growing up too fast and missing out on their childhood." He added: "We cannot shield kids from the modern world and no-one would try, but we can try to stop them having inappropriate things put in front of them from an early age." Mr Cameron told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour: "A lot of parents feel they are engaged in a kind of struggle to try to bring up our kids. "We want to let them see the world as it is but not be bombarded by the wrong sort of images from an early age. "We've all read stories about padded bras and Lolita beds. There are some worries."

'Tough new rules'

He said the Advertising Standards Agency should get greater powers to deal with inappropriate marketing aimed at children - something the government says it is also working towards. Children's Secretary Ed Balls said he had raised the issue in the Children's Plan two years ago, adding it was "good to have David Cameron's support because this is something which concerns all parents and is not an issue for party politics".(my view)-I totally agree with David here-in the many years past i have see young girls wearing these words and their clothing...in including boys to:"Cum Princess,Pussy Lover,King Of The Whores,Sex Kitten.Sex Kitty,The Camel Toe Licker,Player,I Love Rape,Daddy's Little Whore,Hoes Before Bro's,My 3 Holes For Sale For Money...ect..the rest are sickening....this must stop!Protecting our kids from these vile companies IS A MUCH.......did you know that little boys and girls sexually touch each other because of what is written on their clothes!

Dog tongue swells to 'monster' size

A pet dog nearly died after suffering a freak accident that caused her tongue to swell to four times its normal size,Penny before surgery to remove a pig's aorta that had wrapped itself around her tongue Penny almost suffocated when her tongue ballooned as she tucked into her favourite treat of pig's heart. Membrane from the pig's aorta wound itself around the base of her tongue, cutting off the blood supply which caused it to swell to "monster" proportions. The lack of blood also meant that parts of the tongue died off and could have led to a fatal infection. Her situation worsened when she desperately tried to paw her tongue free, causing blood to gush from her mouth. Her horrified owner, Linda Donnelly, from Paisley, said her pet's tongue was left looking like an enormous piece of steak hanging from her mouth. She rushed her to the PDSA's PedAid Hospital in Glasgow for life-saving treatment. Initially vets thought she was suffering from a tumour which had suddenly increased in size and warned Ms Donnelly that her pet was unlikely to pull through. Vet Dermot Mullen said the shock of the ordeal alone could have killed the 18-year-old pet. But while Penny was under anaesthetic, Mr Mullen spotted the aorta and managed to cut it free. "I am just pleased I was able to save her. The prognosis was not at all good. "It was very hard to see down her throat because of the size of her inflated tongue but once I saw the fibrous ligature, the cause of Penny's problem was clear. Ms Donnelly said she was "absolutely devastated" when her dog started to choke. "It all happened so quickly," she said. "One minute Penny was okay, the next she was stood in front of me with what can only be described as a monster-sized tongue hanging from her mouth with blood pouring out everywhere. "I hadn't a clue what had caused the swelling at that point as she had eaten the pig's heart hours before. She has eaten these many times in the past without any problem. "When Dermot told us what had happened I felt awful. She has them as a treat now and again but I never for one moment thought anything like this could have happened. Pigs' hearts are now completely off the menu."
