Hi all. How would you feel if the truth comes out that you belong to a royal family? :P
In this world, everything is changing.
American girl shocked to discover that she's an african princess
Sarah Culberson, a 30-year-old American girl who is of mixed African-Caucasian parentage, was adopted just two days after her first birthday by a Caucasian family, and growing up in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Read Story.....
She’s often wondered what her birth parents looked like. Her journey of discovery began after she turned 22, when she decided to find out about her birth parents. She finally got her answer after she tracked her biological father down to Sierra Leone, Africa. And with that discovery came another surprise - she found out that she was a princess.
When she learned in 1999 that her Caucasian biological mum, who worked in administration at West Virginia University, had died of cancer about 12 years earlier, she was crushed. It wasn’t until after she moved to Los Angeles in 2001 to pursue an acting career that she resumed the search for her birth father, hiring a private investigator to help her. She got a hit barely three hours after she hired him - an address in Maryland. Sarah Culberson sent a handwritten letter to the address, which turned out to be the home of her father’s brother. He, in turn, forwarded the letter to her birth father, Mr Joseph Konia Kposowa, who lives in the village of Bumpe in Sierra Leone.
Then came the phone call she was waiting for all her life. “I was a bit overwhelmed because I was still in the shock that I was actually speaking to my biological family for the first time,” she explained. Mr Kposowa explained that he met her birth mother in West Virginia, where he was a visiting college student. He apologised for not finding her first, and went on to tell her why he gave her up for adoption. After she was born, the couple agreed that they were too young and poor to care for her, so they gave her up.
Then came the bombshell. He revealed that he was a ruling member of the 36,000-member Mende Tribe in Bumpe, which made her a princess. “I had no idea what to do with that information, and I wondered, ‘What does that mean?” she said. She jumped at the opportunity, when her father invited her to visit him in Africa and meet the people of Bumpe. She took along her mentor and former acting coach, Mr John Woehrle, who offered to film her journey.
In December, 2004, Sarah Culberson landed in Lungi, Sierra Leone, where for the first time, she met her birth father in person at the airport.
She said, “At first, there was silence, he looked so vulnerable, and I realised that he was more afraid than I was.” “He was worried that I wouldn’t accept him in that moment. There were no words, just the look in his eye. I went up and gave him the biggest hug to let him know that everything is okay, and that I love him.”
Her father explained that the villagers dress the same when an honoured guest arrives, a gesture that shows the guest that she is not a visitor, but a new member of their community. Another emotional moment greeted her when she arrived in Bumpe the next day. As she pulled up in her father’s battered Land Rover, she saw hundreds of women coming over a hill, dressed in the same emerald African dress her father had given to her the day before. The women greeted her clapping and singing a song in Mende, the native language, they wrote to welcome their new princess home.
At the dinner to celebrate her homecoming, she was christened Bumpenya, Mende for ‘Lady of Bumpe’. “It was unbelievable. Amazing! An extraordinary gift and an honour, it was also terrifying because I had never had so much attention in my life from so many people,” she said.
And for the next few weeks, she learnt about the tragic history of her people. Bumpe had been ravaged by the bloody 11-year civil war that was raging in Sierra Leone, with rebel troops killing its villagers and destroying buildings.
But Sarah Culberson was particularly drawn to the rundown state of Bumpe High School, which was founded by her grandfather in 1963 and hosted about 500 students in its heyday. When the rebels left, its students were left without desks, books, supplies or even a roof over their heads. But despite their hardships, Miss Culberson said what touched her most was that the Bumpe people could still smile and laugh through it all.
She said: “I would think that people would need to go through therapy for years to deal with having their arms chopped off, or having their homes set on fire, or seeing a family member mutilated. But, these people have learned to keep going.”
Touched by her experiences in Bumpe, Sarah Culberson set up a non-profit organisation called the Kposowa Foundation when she returned to Los Angeles. With Mr Woehrle, she set up a website, www.bumpefund.org, as a channel to raise the US$200,000 ($320,000) needed for the rebuilding of the Bumpe High School. A documentary of her trip is also being made to help raise awareness for her cause.
Sarah Culberson said: “They’ve been enjoying it with me. My mum is on the board of the Kposowa Foundation and is heading a fundraiser in West Virginia this November. My dad is going with me to Africa this December to meet my biological father for the first time.”
She said: “Certain things that used to be important aren’t important anymore. My overall objective is to get the school rebuilt, start helping with the village, and to eventually have a medical care facility in Bumpe.” Sarah Culberson said that her adoptive parents, university lecturer Jim Culberson and special-education instructor Judy, have been extremely supportive of her new passion.
She added that her trip to Bumpe has also given her a new outlook in life.

Hi all! Check on thoes new discovered orchids. They are amazing in the pictures.
Scientists from the conservation nonprofit WWF discovered the flower, along with at least seven other new speicies of orchid, in the tropical rain forests of Papua New Guinea.
More...
The researchers made the discoveries while surveying previously unexplored forests in the Kikori region on the southern coast of New Guinea's principal island.
Over the course of three expeditions, the scientists collected some 300 orchid species, 8 of which have been confirmed as new to science, with 20 more still awaiting verification as new varieties.
Even before the find, Papua New Guinea claimed more known orchid species than any other country in the world.
"The island of New Guinea is an incredible gold mine of orchids," said Wayne Harris, a WWF researcher and botanist with Australia's Queensland Herbarium, in a statement on October 16.
"There are over 3,000 known species found here with countless varieties undoubtedly yet to be discovered."
WWF announced the find a week before the official launch of new wildlife management areas in Kikori, which will aim to protect the rain forests where the flowers were found.
Whether well-known or yet to be discovered, the plants and animals of New Guinea's rain forests face mounting threats as oil and gas operations continue to expand in the region, according to the WWF scientists who discovered the flowers.
"The sad reality is that many of these plants … may become extinct before they have even been discovered," WWF forest ecologist Olo Gebia said in a statement on October 16.
"This gives even greater urgency to ensuring the long-term conservation of this remarkable region."

Gay Animals will be on exhibits
Norway is funding the world's first museum exhibit on gay animals. Examples: beetles, parrots, penguins, and swans. "One photograph shows two giant erect penises flailing above the water as two male right whales rub together.
Bees sucking pollen from a wild flower in the morning in a deserted area in Amman, Jordan, May 31, 2005. The birds and the bees may be gay, according to the world's first museum exhibition about homosexuality among animals.

Another shows a male giraffe mounting another for sex." Previously, a zoo in Holland featured gay animal couples. Exhibit organizers' view: "Homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom, it is not against nature." Right-wing Christian view: The organizers should "burn in hell." Cynical view: Maybe homophobia is natural, too.

Using a Rollover IRA for Your Retirement Plan Assets
When you retire or change jobs, one of the biggest decisions you will make is what to do with your retirement plan assets. One of your options is to roll the money over into a retirement account called a Rollover IRA.
What is a Rollover IRA?
More...
It's a special kind of individual retirement account (IRA) specifically for transfers of money from employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401(k). Rollover IRAs sometimes are referred to as conduit IRAs.
Direct and Indirect Rollovers
If you transfer money directly from a previous employer's retirement plan to a Rollover IRA, you won't have to pay taxes on the money until you withdraw it later (ideally after you retire). You can choose from a broad range of investments suited to your investing style and retirement goal, and you usually can transfer the money into a new employer's plan later if the new plan allows it. You also may be able to convert a Rollover IRA to a Roth IRA if you meet the requirements. If you convert to a Roth IRA, you will owe taxes on any contributions and earnings not previously taxed.
If the money is sent to you rather than to a Rollover IRA, your former employer must withhold 20% of the distribution as a prepayment of federal taxes. You still can roll the money over to a Rollover IRA, if you do it within 60 days. This is called an indirect rollover. You will either have to make up the 20% that was withheld or pay taxes on that amount, and you may owe additional tax penalties.

Payday Loans or Cash Advance
A payday loan is short-term loan for a small amount of money (usually up to $500) often perceiedas a new method of acquiring consumer debt. Payday loan providers are sometimes compared unfavourably to loansharks, but in most states the former are legal. The loan is given in cash and paid back via electronic withdrawl from the debtor's checking account.
Usually, a borrower writes a personal check payable to the lender for the amount he or she wishes to borrow plus a fee. The company gives the borrower the amount of the check minus the fee. Fees charged for payday loans are usually a percentage of the face value of the check or a fee charged per amount borrowed - say, for every $50 or $100 loaned. And, if you extend or "roll-over" the loan - say for another two weeks - you will pay the fees for each extension.
Under the Truth in Lending Act, the cost of payday loans - like other types of credit must be disclosed. Among other information, you must receive, in writing, the finance charge (a dollar amount) and the annual percentage rate or APR (the cost of credit on a yearly basis).
A cash advance loan secured by a personal check - such as a payday loan - is very expensive credit. Let's say you write a personal check for $115 to borrow $100 for up to 14 days. The check casher or payday lender agrees to hold the check until your next payday. At that time, depending on the particular plan, the lender deposits the check, you redeem the check by paying the $115 in cash, or you roll-over the check by paying a fee to extend the loan for another two weeks. In this example, the cost of the initial loan is a $15 finance charge and 391 percent APR. If you roll-over the loan three times, the finance charge would climb to $60 to borrow $100.

More....
The Southern hip-hop duo called Rehab were literally a product of their namesake. Original members Danny Boone and Brooks Buford, both recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, met at a local rehab facility and connected over their love of music.
Mashing rap with rock, the duo released their debut album, Southern Discomfort, in 2000 on the Sony label. Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, and Cody ChesnuTT were some of the guests on the album, which would spawn the Top 15 modern rock hit "It Don't Matter." Two years were spent on the road supporting the album, including a stint on the Vans Warped Tour, and then the duo splintered.
Boone retained the name and recruited four veteran musicians for a new Rehab. Now a quintet with Boone as the lone singer/rapper -- and also using his birthname, Danny Alexander -- Rehab signed with Arshid Entertainment and released the ambitious Graffiti the World in 2005.

A few years ago I worked at a computer shop. One time a woman overheard me answer the phone and came storming over to me.
Her: "So you're the one who won't let me email my son!"
Me: "Excuse me?"
Her: "Well, I bought my computer here and you guys set up my Internet."
Me: "Yes...?"
Her: "Every time I try to email my son, YOU email me back saying you won't deliver my message."
Me: "Ma'am, I don't have anything to do with delivering email to anyone, and I'm sure I haven't sent you any messages."
Her: "I just heard you tell the person on the phone that YOU were Damon."
