Re: [Assam] CM speaks on his alleged property in the US, rubbishes owning 5 houses in US
Tarun Gogoi's claims are believable in this context, except that he is wrong about the assertion that foreigners cannot own houses in the USA. See: http://legaladvices.info/how-to-buy-a-house-in-the-us-if-you-are-not-a-legal-resident/ That does not necessarily mean that Gogoi or his wife own houses in the USA. But they can if they wish to. The only way a suspicion could be raised about the house ownership of the daughter and son-in-law's house is IF it was purchased with CASH, as opposed to a bank loan, which they are obviously eminently capable of getting on their own right. cm On Jan 10, 2011, at 10:01 PM, Babul Gogoi wrote: > CM speaks on his alleged property in the US, rubbishes owning 5 houses in US > > Taking strong exception to RTI activist and KMSS leader Akhil Gogoi’s claim > that Tarun Gogoi's wife, daughter and son-in-law owned five houses in the > US, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi Monday, while addressing the press, said he > will file defamation and criminal cases against Akhil Gogoi.

[Assam] A kiss could be carcinogenic
Lipstick Information from Mt. Sinai Hospital: LIPSTICK INFORMATION: Something to consider next time you go shopping for Lipstick.. This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital, in Toronto. From: Dr. Nahid Neman If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I am also sharing this with the males on my list, because they need to tell the females THEY care about as well. Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer. The lipstick brands that contain lead are: CHRISTIAN DIOR LANCÔME CLINIQUE Y.S.L ESTEE LAUDER SHISEIDO RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK. The higher the amount of lead, the greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay on longer. If your lipstick stays on longer, it is because of the higher the content of lead in it. Here is the test you can do yourself: 1. Put some lipstick on your hand. 2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead. Please send this information to all your female and male family members & friends. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre. Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer. -- Sent from my mobile device C 166 LGF Sarvodaya Enclave New Delhi 110017 09910972654 ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
