All of my possessions don’t add up to that rock
Police say a man followed a Dallas woman, assaulted her and took her $350,000 ring.
I guess now would be a bad time for the husband to tell his wife that her engagement diamond was cubic zirconium.

Clubs and knives and shouts for execution aren’t quite indicative of a non-violent religion
KHARTOUM, Sudan – Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”
The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation. She avoided the more serious punishment of 40 lashes.
They massed in central Martyrs Square outside the presidential palace, where hundreds of riot police were deployed. They did not try to stop the rally, which lasted about an hour.
“Shame, shame on the U.K.,” protesters chanted.
They called for Gibbons’ execution, saying, “No tolerance: Execution,” and “Kill her, kill her by firing squad.”
A man describes his experience of 50 lashes
Just what is it like to be lashed? In 1993, Gavin Sherrard-Smith, a computer expert from Cheltenham, received 50 lashes with a bamboo cane in a prison in Qatar. He was accused of breaking an alcohol ban while living in Doha, the capital – something that Mr Sherrard-Smith, now 47, has always denied.
This is his astonishing account of how the brutal punishment was carried out, and how he endured it.
