Grandfather Writes Letter To His Daughter After She Kicks Out His Gay Grandson This man may deserve to win "Grandfather Of The Year." In this incredible letter, a grandfather passionately addresses his daughter's decision to kick her gay son out of the house after he decided to come out of the closet. Though we don't have the full details surrounding the incident, the grandfather tells his daughter that "kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is the real 'abomination' here. A parent disowning her child is what goes 'against nature.'" As more young people feel comfortable enough to identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), an increasing amount of extraordinary letters such as these from supportive family members have been appearing on social media. In wake of his daughter's apparent disavowal of her gay son, this grandfather seems to be stepping up to the plate when it comes to his care and well-being: "He was born this way and didn't choose it more than he being left-handed.

32 Creative Tattoo Designs The art of tattooing has been around for many centuries and is the most popular form of body modification. The tattoo is created by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment colour. The actual word tattoo was first brought to Europe by the British explorer James Cook when he returned from his voyage to New Zealand and Tahiti and referred to a practice of “tattaw” and what he described as painting, staining or scarring. I love tattoos and I have one myself but nothing compared to these amazing designs below. Paralyzed US Swimmer Banned From Paralympics Victoria Arlen slipped into a three-year coma after experiencing flu-like symptoms at age 11. When she awoke, she was paralyzed from the waist down because of an autoimmune disorder that attacks the nerves in the spine. The wheelchair-bound 18-year-old from Exeter, N.H., went on to find strength in the swimming pool, where she won four medals, including gold and broke her own record in one event at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. But her family, coaches and even her governor and two senators were outraged this week by a decision by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to disqualify the teen from the Paralympic Swimming World Championships in Montreal after ruling that her condition is not permanent. "I am keeping my head held high and I am not bitter, discouraged or angry against them," said Arlen, who's in California clearing her head while visiting with her mother and boyfriend after the colossal disappointment. "It is what it is," she told ABCNews.com. "Our [U.S.
25 Documentaries Everybody Should Watch Sans Soleil This is not your average documentary. It is a fleeting memory, a sudden remembrance of times long past, a meditation on time and culture, a touch of an emotional diary. We follow the eyes of a world traveller who makes sharp observations and tries to convey them to his friend. We never learn who they are and where they came from, and this is perhaps a subtle point the documentary wants to make.

kerbyrosanes2 Cops dealing Doritos at post-legalization Hempfest SEATTLE (AP) — A few things will be different at this year's Hempfest, the 22-year-old summer "protestival" on Seattle's waterfront where tens of thousands of revelers gather to use dope openly, listen to music and gaze at the Olympic Mountains in the distance. The haze of pot smoke might smell a little more like victory, after Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize marijuana use by adults over 21. Having won at the state level, speakers will concentrate on the reform of federal marijuana laws. Oh, and the Seattle police — who have long turned a lenient eye on Hempfest tokers — don't plan to be writing tickets or making arrests. They'll be busy handing out Doritos. "I think it's going to be a lot of fun," said Sgt. The idea isn't just to satisfy some munchies. Organizers are expecting as many as 85,000 people each day of the three-day event, which begins Friday and is the first Hempfest since voters passed Initiative 502 last fall. View gallery Online:
Online Finance Courses Despite the bad rap the financial industry has received in recent years, planning for a career in finance still remains a smart proposition. In fact, issues plaguing the industry today only emphasize the current need for highly educated financial professionals to keep things on track. As a result, choosing to earn a degree in finance could lead to a rather lucrative career upon graduation. Like marketing, finance is typically considered to be a specialized area of business administration. It is also a field that can be specialized in or studied independently via online finance courses. An academic career in finance will provide you with skills and knowledge to effectively manage money. Finance specialists are tasked with understanding and forecasting the value of money at a given moment in time. Sample Courses In addition to a student’s core curriculum in finance, there are several general subject areas that could benefit budding financial specialists, like psychology and communication.
the-creative-process Russian Man Who Got Bank to Sign Homemade Credit Card Contract Now Suing Them for Not Following Terms Tinkoff Credit Systems In 2008, Dmitry Agarkov received an unsolicited letter from Tinkoff Credit Systems (TCS) offering the 42-year-old Russian man a credit card with what he found to be unattractive rates. While most people would have just thrown away the letter, Agarkov decided to do something different. He scanned the contract in the letter into his computer and altered it in his favor, including, for example, a 0% interest rate, no fees, and no credit limit. Agarkov's altered contract was, surprisingly, accepted and he received a credit card. Two years later TCS sought to close the account due to overdue payments, and at this point, things began to get difficult. Russia Today reports that in 2012 TCS decided to sue Agarkov for 45,000 rubles ($1,363), an amount that featured fees and charges not included in the altered contract. TCS isn't out of trouble yet either. In a counter move, RAPSI news agency reports that TCS is attempting to start a criminal case for fraud against Agarkov.
