About "Y84 Bandit #2"
A friend called me about this car he had started to restore a few years ago. He told me he was ready to sell it as other priorities had come up. It really wasn't a good time for me to purchace another car, but he was eager to sell it. He wanted me to have it as he knew he would see it restored and not parted out. After seeing how far he had already come and how much he had spent on gathering parts (mostly NOS parts) we settled on a price. He had already removed the frame,media blasted and painted the undercarriage, installed new body bushings and replaced one partial floor pan, replaced all fuel and brake lines and all brake parts with new. The dash is in perfect condition, interior parts have all been cleaned or replaced (not installed yet).The car has no rust and is about ready to paint ,It is PHS documented,Y84 SE, WS6 it has the original build sheet . It is a WS6 four wheel disk brake car. He also replaced shocks and bushings (polyurathane) you name it he got for the car.

Red Ribbon Week at Thomas
This week is Red Ribbon Week, an annual celebration designed to promote drug abuse prevention and education. If you have younger kids, you've probably heard about it. The elementary schools make a big deal of it, as well they should. It's never too young to get kids started on the drug-free path.
I noticed, though, that once my kids hit high school, I didn't hear much about Red Ribbon Week. And I was sorry to see that, because today more than ever before, teenagers need to understand the dangers of drug abuse. Case in point: today's story in the D&C about another high school student who died because his friend was driving drunk.
That's why I've been pleased to see Red Ribbon Week take center stage at Thomas High School this week. Thomas' effort is being spearheaded by school counselor Sue Stacy, with help from more than 75 members of the school's very active Rotary Interact club.
For starters, the kids made dozens of signs showing statistics, truths and myths about drugs and alcohol, and hung them all over the school. Then they cut out 1500 red Ts, and sat at a table outside the cafeterias every day this week, encouraging every student to sign one and take the anti-drug pledge. The resulting display on the wall is remarkable.
But probably the most thought-provoking event will take place on Friday. That's when 35 students have volunteered to come to school as "statistics." They will each wear a negative statistic about drugs or alcohol and will be "dead" during the entire school day, not talking or participating in classes, lunch or study halls. The idea is for their friends and classmates to realize how terrible it would be to be to lose that person forever.
The "statistics" should send a powerful message. We can only hope that our young people are listening.

War Whores like Babsie keeps the wars going. James Cogan of WSWS reports:
The Obama administration, along with dozens of European and Middle Eastern countries, formally recognised the rebel Transitional National Council (TNC) as Libya's "legitimate" government during a summit yesterday in Turkey. The diplomatic move reflects considerable frustration in Washington that NATO's four-month air war and numerous assassination attempts have failed to remove Muammar Gaddafi from power in the oil and gas-rich North African country.
Based in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, the TNC is made up of former Gaddafi ministers, Islamic fundamentalists and others who have conspired against Gaddafi for years on behalf of western intelligence agencies. With the undoubted encouragement of the French, British and American governments, it was formed in March to corral popular unrest against Gaddafi's regime behind an imperialist-backed civil war.
Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, explained the calculations behind recognising the unelected and unrepresentative TNC as Libya's government. "We still have to work through various legal issues," Clinton told journalists, "but we expect this step on recognition will enable the TNC to access additional sources of funding."
An American-Libyan advising the "rebels" told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday that the TNC was currently "broke." It was unable to pay for fuel shipments or its fighters' salaries, let alone purchase new weapons and ammunition.

And here's what we came up with.
Monday, July 18, 2011. Chaos and violence continue, the US military announces another death, the little noted Stalemate II continues in Iraq, Iran invades Iraq, Sibel Edmonds offers some strong media criticism, and more. On Antiwar Radio, Scott Horton interviewed Jason Ditz about the ongoing wars including the Iraq War. Jason Ditz: Of course people may remember that in the last few months of the Bush administration there was a Status Of Forces Agreement signed with the Iraqi government saying that the US would keep troops there through the end of 2011 and that all the troops would be out by then. And at the time, of course, President Obama and the other candidates on the Democratic side were saying that 'oh this is way too long' and suggesting that they were going to get the troops out sooner. They never actually gave concrete dates, but they certainly hinted that they would have the troops out much sooner than that. And now President Obama is pretty clear on keeping the troops there well beyond this deadline and the talks are already ongoing for exactly how long and in what fashion they're going to do so. [. . .] Scott Horton: I wonder whether he thinks he really needs the Americans. Really the question is does he need us or Moqtada al-Sadr more? Jason Ditz: Well it definitely does seem to be the case. In fact, it seems to be that he can only have one or the other, not both. Scott Horton: Well now Americans have been killed in some violence over there recently. Are the headlines right that these attacks basically are attributable to the Sadrists and then further that must mean the Iranians are behind it? Jason Ditz: Well I think they're going -- they're jumping to a lot of conclusions. Most of these attacks are happening in Shi'ite controlled areas, they're happening probably by militias that are Shi'ite in nature. Whether you can jump from that to concluding that Sadr is directly behind it isn't clear. And the conclusion beyond that -- that this is the Iranian government -- seems completely far fetched because despite Adm [Mike] Mullen's claim that they have proof, the only evidence they've presented is that some of these weapons these militias are using contain some parts that you could buy in Iran. Now that may well be the case but Iran's a big country and those are some pretty big borders between those two countries. I think drawing the conclusion that this is direct Iranian government intervention in this war as opposed to just commerce across borders seems a little bit -- a little bit far fetched. Scott Horton:Right. I mean even if it did have a "MADE IN IRAN" stamp on it, it still means it could have come from the black market in 600 directions. Jason Ditz: Absolutely. Iran is not this big giant monolith that is all one agency operating as a single entity. There are a lot of militant factions in Iran that don't like the Iranian government that might get involved in this as well. Scott Horton: There are plenty of business men too -- in and outside of government and their ties and circles. Jason Ditz: Right. Scott Horton and Jason Ditz were noting the deaths of US soldiers in the Iraq War and the Associated Press reported this morning that the US military announced the death of another US soldier in Iraq. This brings the death toll for this month to 5 and the death toll for June and July combined to 20. ABC News Radio quotes from the statement: "A U.S. service member died Sunday in a non-hostile incident in central Iraq." Two of the five this month were Nathan Beyers and Nicholas Newby. KPVI reports (link is text and features a slide show) the Pocatello, Idaho National Guard Armory last night was the scene of a rememberance for the two fallen as approximately 50 people paid their respects in a candle light ceremony. Lucas Elliott was killed Friday while serving in Iraq. WTVD notes, "On Monday, Lucas Elliott would have celebrated his 22nd birthday." Lucas Elliott's death was known because his family came forward on Saturday. WRAL first reported the fallen was Lucas Elliott. Patti Elliott, his mother, told them, "On 9/11, we were sitting there watching everything unfold and Lucas turned to us and said, 'I'm going to be a soldier'." Ed Elliott, his father, stated, "All I can say is I'm going to miss my hunting and fishing buddy." And Trisha Elliott, his wife, talked about how they met in a college class and said, "I'm not sure how he did it, but he convinced me to marry him and I don't regret it." Today the Defense Dept issued the following: The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation New Dawn. Spc. Daniel L. Elliott, 21, of Youngsville, N.C., died July 15 in Basra, Iraq, when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 290th Military Police Brigade, 200th Military Police Command, Cary, N.C. For more information, the media may contact the 200th Military Police Command public affairs office at 301-677-1079. A few words on Antiwar Radio which airs on KPFK most Fridays. We note Antiwar Radio and we note Antiwar.com. Most of the voices featured are libertarian because that's who runs the sites. But they are not the only voices featured. All the voices featured -- left or right or center or apathetic to election politics -- are serious about ending the wars. That's why we include them (and Antiwar Radio is probably the only radio program that has not forgotten the Iraq War.) However, please, stop wasting your time and mine sending me Lila Garrett garbage. (You know who you are.) Connect The Dots could be an important show; however, Lila choses to trash her own show repeatedly. I have no use for her. If the wars are going to end, it's going to take everyone calling for an end to it and Lila's non-stop hate speech towards Republicans isn't doing anyone any good. She needs to be told to cut it out. It's taken her forever to find the strength to criticize Barack (the threat to her Social Security check appears to have finally pushed her firmly) and any meek criticism has required -- as it did today -- that Lila move into trashing Republicans as racists and more. Lila Garrett hasn't spoken to Republicans in years. She has no idea what most Republicans in this country -- we're talking about voters, not office holders -- believe in. I find her destructive and damaging Her stereotypes are offensive and off-putting and do nothing to allow for a left-right bridge to end the Iraq War or even for the left to understand what the right is after. Stop sending me Lila's garbage, I'm not interested. Again, on most Fridays, KPFK features Antiwar Radio. Last Friday, historian and journalist Gareth Porter was on to discuss his new article "What Is Sadr's Game on Future US Troop Presence" (IPS via Dissident Voice): The big question looming over U.S.-Iraqi negotiations on a U.S. military presence after 2011 is what game Shi'a leader Moqtada al-Sadr is playing on the issue. U.S. officials regard Sadr as still resisting the U.S. military presence illegally and are demanding that Sadr call off his Promised Day Brigades completely. But Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's main point of contact with Sadr says Sadr is playing a double game and does not intend to obstruct the negotiations on a deal for the stationing of 10,000 or more U.S. troops from 2012 onward. Sadr made a crucial move over the weekend toward accepting such an agreement between the Barack Obama administration and the Maliki government, according to a senior Iraqi intelligence official in the International Liaison Office (ILO). The ILO is an arm of Iraqi military intelligence that is run by a former East German intelligence official who was Sadr's political adviser during the height of the U.S. war against the Sadrists in 2007-08. Sadr agreed in an unpublicised direct exchange of views with Maliki that he would not exploit a request by Maliki to President Obama to station U.S. troops in Iraq beyond this year by attacking Maliki politically or threatening his government, the senior Iraqi intelligence official told IPS. Friday, Scott Horton discussed the article with Gareth Porter (click here for KPFK archives, not yet up at Antiwar Radio). Excerpt: Scott Horton: Here's the thing, you sit there for a couple of moments, I'm going to make a couple of assertions and then I'm going to turn it over to you. Gareth Porter: Okay. Scott Horton: So it used to be that the Ba'ath Party ruled Iraq. It was a predominately Sunni party especially at the heighest levels. And the Arabs are the majority in Iraq as opposed to the Kurds but the Sunnis are the minority among the Arabs in Iraq. Gareth Porter: Right. Scott Horton: So then America invaded and overthrew the Ba'athists and fought a giant civil war on behalf of the Badr Brigade of the Supreme Islamic Council and the Mahdi Army of Moqtada al-Sadr and safely completed the ensconcing of them in power in Baghdad in say oh I don't know 2007, '08 they pretty much finished up winning that civil war. And so now the only problem is there's this religious leader on the Shi'ite majority side. that we've fought this war to install in power who wants us to go. Or not. Tell us about Moqtada al-Sadr. Gareth Porter: Well first of all, just one point that I would make which is a bit different from the presentation that you just made which is otherwise perfectly correct and that is that Sadr although he did not resist the initial US invasion of Iraq, it's quite true, within one year -- or year and a half -- he had begun a military resistance to the US and has maintained that degree of resistance to US presence -- in varying degrees, I guess I should say, resistance to US presence ever since. And of course it's important to understand that the real -- within the Shi'ite community or the Shia community, the real big conflict here has been the Badr Brigade people who represent the middle and upper class of the Shia community and Sadr whose constituency clearly is the poor and dispossed of the Shia community. So that's part of the background of this story. So now what is Sadr's game here? He has -- Scott Horton: Wait a minute. Hold on Sadr's game. Because as long as you're going to clarify that, we should also clarify that Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the Badr faction, the Supreme Islamic Council, has died. His son didn't have the wherewithal to hold it together and Moqtada al-Sadr is now the dominant force inside the Iraqi Supreme Islamic Council* as well as the Iraqi National Alliance -- the majority party that rules the Parliament and supports Nouri al-Maliki to be prime minister. So he resisted and our guys fought battles with him from time to time over the years but still the war was to make him the Ayatollah basically -- whether that's what they were trying to do or not. Gareth Porter: Well I think that that is in fact the larger and longer term effect of the US war. But neverthelss in the wake of the Shi'ite -- basically their victory over the Sunnis in the civil war in 2007 -- 2006, 2007 -- the fact is that the United States and Sadr are still very much at odds. And so Sadr is a very complex figure politically at this point and really this is the main point of my article -- is that he wants to play an apparently ambiguous two-sided double-game if you will with regards to the US presence there. Despite the fact that he continues publicly to rail against the US military presence and indeed has continued to carry out attacks on US military targets. Nevertheless, the evidence now is that he's trying to maneuver so that the Nouri al-Maliki government can allow or reach an agreement that he will allow between the government and the United States to station troops. And this is coming from the office of Iraqi military intelligence which is responsible for relations between the al-Maliki government and Sadr. We'll note it when it goes up at Antiwar Radio. "*" On Scott Horton's statement that Moqtada al-Sadr dominates the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, that's his take and we'll offer a counter-one. I don't know what he means by "dominates." If he means "dwarfs," that's true in terms of press attention. He may mean it in another way. If he means in terms of power I don't see it. (Popularly, he's Howard Dean after the "scream" takes Dean out of the running.) Ammar al-Hakim is not in a position of weakness when it comes to Moqtada al-Sadr. In the 2005 elections, ISCI was the leader. Voters grew disenchanted. In 2009, Iraq held provincial elections (we're leaving the KRG out of this because they held provincial elections months after the rest of Iraq), the disappointment could be clearly seen in those elecitons when the previously dominant part accounted for approximately 1/8 of the seats in the 14 provinces. (Again, the KRG held their provincial elections months later and are not included in that count.) At the time of those elections Ammar al-Hakim was not in charge of the party, his father was. His father would die in August of 2009 and the party would vote for Ammar al-Hakim to take over months before the parliamentary elections (March 7, 2010). Ammar al-Hakim would oversee the building of the coalition (National Alliance) which included Moqtada al-Sadr's bloc. That National Alliance came in third. Approximately seven months in power, I don't know that he can be judged to be responsible for the election results; however, predictions for further erosion did not take place. The recent death of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim might have been a rallying point or it might have been hopes for the new leader (his son Ammar). But at this point, I don't see how you say that Ammar al-Hakim is less powerful than Moqtada al-Sadr when al-Hakim is as popular within Iraq and is more popular than al-Sadr with Iraq's neighbors and that includes Iran. If you asked the neighboring countries to pick a prime minister for Iraq, Ammar al-Hakim would be the choice. That may change as he gets more of a record of leadership but that is currently where he stands. Within the Islamic Supreme Council itself, Ammar remains leader and Moqtada al-Sadr could never challenge him in that post. The issue of family is huge in Iraq (as are tribes) and Moqtada really doesn't have that to offer in the way Ammar does. In fact, had Moqtada not called in favors from his late father's friends in Iran and gotten to be recognized (by them) as something of a holy man, he'd still be the petty thug he was seen as in Iraq for most of 2003. My call on al-Hakim's position in the Iraq hiearchy is based on the usual sources and I could be wrong. (They were correct about Moqtada.) Scott Horton may very well be right. But we rarely cover al-Hakim and with all that's been said, I'll offer the counter-opinion. (Scott Horton may very well be right. I could be wrong and often am.) He appears to argue al-Sadr's power because al-Sadr "represents the poor." Traditionally, in any society, the poor are the disenfranchised. That's true in the US, that's true in most countries. The idea that there was a scramble on in Iraq where anyone could achieve power existed in the early days of the US-invasion (and was false even then). Again, we'll note it when the Gareth Porter interview goes up at Antiwar Radio. Let's stay with the 'withdrawal' issue. Al Mada reported Saturday that MP Sabah al-Saadi called on Nouri al-Maliki to reveal his on stance regarding US military troops staying beyond 2011 and he called for Nouri to release an evaluation of Iraq's security system currently. Noting the "lack of readiness on the part of the security forces to maintain the country," al-Saadi wonders "what did the government do for the last three years?" It is implied that any faliures would fall at Nouri's footsteps because he was prime minister when the SOFA was signed and it would appear -- either through "negligence" or a desire to keep US forces -- Nouri has not been up for the job. Today Suadad al-Salhy (Reuters) embarrasses himself and the outlet (do I detect Serena's hand?) with a bunch of garbage about how "trainers" not "troops" will stay. That's a false term. al-Salhy's in Iraq and unaware of what the US Congress has heard in repeated hearings this year. I've been at everyone of those public hearings and we've covered them in the snapshots here. Whether it was military brass or the US Ambassador to Iraq or US State Dept employees, over and over Congress has been told that the US military will be acting as "trainers." And, in fact, that's the claim currently about the US military on the ground in Iraq right now. So why Suadad al-Salhy thinks his nonsense today was needed, I have no idea. He writes, "The difference between troops and trainers, usually former soldiers and police contracted to the U.S. government, may be critical for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki [. . .]" Grow the hell up. I'm not interested in your pathetic, juvenile delusions (or have you gone to work for the CIA? In which case you're serving up propaganda). Here's reality on the 'untrained' forces still needing training. They were getting training. They were getting police training and plenty more. Remember? 2006? And what happened? The US military made the decision to stop those programs in Jordan and elsewhere. Had those programs continued, don't you think the Iraqi forces would be up to speed by now? Or do we need to see the 'training' video on YouTube again? Where the US military comes in, screams at the Iraqi police trainees, using derogatory, sexist, homophobic and other 'good' language and has a hissy fit while playing "Dumb Idiot Iraqis!" You really think a 'teacher' like that was ever going to impart a damn thing? Really? The report that Reuters missed -- through cowardice or ignorance -- is that Nouri's trying to sell the extension of the US military presence by claiming that they aren't "troops," they are "trainers." Over the weekend, Al Mada also reported that KRG President Massoud Barzani is attempting to return everyone to the Erbil Agreement (which ended the nine month plus political stalemate) and, most importantly, introduce a proposal calling for the security ministries being pulled from Nouri. On the topic of the Erbil Agreement, Aswat al-Iraq reported, "President Jalal Talabani and the head of al-Iraqiya Bloc Iyad Allawi have discussed the implementation of the Arbil agreement, a presidential statement noted." Alsumaria TV added, "In a statement to Alsumarianews, Al Iraqiya spokeswoman Maysoun Al Damlouji accused Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki of aiming to take over the defense, interior and national security ministries and of refusing to engage Al Iraqiya in the ministries. Maliki's statements over the strategic policy council are a proof of his denial to national partnership and his aim to establish a dictatorship, Al Damlouji argued." But for all the talk, nothing happens. It's Stalemate II, if anyone wants to notice. November 11th, hopes were high. After nine months and counting, the political stalemate was finally going to end, Parliament would meet, they would name a prime minister, a president, vice presidents would be declared, the prime minister would nominate a cabinet -- and do so within 30 days of being made prime minister-designate -- because the political blocs had met in Erbil and all signed off on the Erbil Agreement. By the end of December, it was obvious that wasn't happening and that Iraq was again in a political stalemate. Just as he did during Stalemate I, Nouri continues to hold everyone hostage. In order to remain prime minister, he made many promises and over-promised on positions which is how the Cabinet was left with way too many ministers and deputy ministers. Having gotten what he wanted -- continuing as prime minister -- Nouri's now ready to break promises and has announced that he will cut the number of ministries from 43 to 29. Aswat al-Iraq reports that the Parliament is expected to go along with his plan. Al Mada reports on a poll of Iraqi conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research in partnership (supervision?) of the National Democratic Institute. 42% of Iraqis said the country was headed in the wrong direction which is down 3% from July 2010. Southern Iraq appears to be more likely to see the country on the wrong track. The younger you were and the harder your economic condition, the more likely that you were to rank the country as headed in the wrong direction. The elderly had the most positive view of Iraq. Asked what situation was improving, top choices were education and security and power (electricity) and corruption were seen as the least improved. (The figures Al Mada gives add up to double 100% so we're not including the actual numbers on this item). The most important task the respondents felt the government needed to address? Jobs. Iraqis registered a positive attitude towards democracy in the abstract. Asked about their own government and whether or not it was democratic, 39% responded "no" and 42% responded "yes." Adam Youssef and Suha Sheikhly (Al Mada) report that Iraq is said to need 4 million tons of wheat and barley to feed Iraq's population and 2 million tons is what's estimated Iraq will produce this year. Among the problems farmers cite in the article is the heavy price of commercial fertilizer and what they are calling seeds from "testing laboratories" which sounds like genetically modified seeds. It would be very interesting to see if genetically modified crops are being forced off on Iraq. The other big problem farmers list is the rising saline factor in the water. This has previously been blamed on Iran which has admitted to being responsible. On the topic of conflicts between Iraq and Iran, Eli Lake (Washington Times) reports, "Fighting erupted Sunday between Iranian Kurdish insurgents and the Islamic republic's military forces near Iran's border with Kurdish Iraq. At least two Iranian Kurdish rebels and one member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed during clashes along the border with Iraq, according to reports from Iraqi Kurdistan, citing officials on both sides." Kurdish rebels targeting Turkey are the PKK. Those involved in conflict with Iran are the PJAK. Kurds are said to be one of the largest ethnic groups in the world without an official and autonomous homeland. The KRG -- Kurdistan Regional Government -- in Iraq is the closest to such a land. CNN notes, "The Kurdish region is a contiguous area that spreads across Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey and the Kurdish rebels in those regions are fighting for an independent Kurdish state." Turkey fears that should the KRG become anymore independent, it will fuel the desires of the PKK for their own homeland within Turkey. On the clash this weekend, Al Jazeera reports: Jabbar Yawar, the highest official in the Iraqi Kurdish ministry responsible for the region's security forces, earlier confirmed Iranian shelling of PJAK bases, but said he received no reports of clashes and had no death toll. The shelling came despite a warning on July 3 by the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, Massoud Barzani, over the cross-border operations. Earlier this month, a senior Iranian military official accused Barzani of "giving 300,000 hectares of land to the PJAK terrorist group without the knowledge of the central government in Baghdad", Iran's semi-official Fars news agency said. AGI quotes Iranian Col Delavar Ranjbarzadeh stating, "All 3 camps on Iraqi land that supported the terrorist organization are now under our control." Today's Zaman reports, "PJAK says Iranian forces entered Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region to fight them. They claim that PJAK has killed 53 Iranian soldiers and wounded 43 while only two PJAK members were killed and seven wounded in the fighting." Yes, it was just last month that Jalal Talabani, Kurd and president of Iraq, showed up in Tehran for a safety meeting and gave a speech decrying the residents of Camp Ashraf as terrorists and promising Iraq was addressing the issue. In his speech, he never said one word about the PKK which occupies northern Iraq and launches attacks on Turkey or the PJAK which are Kurds who launch attacks on Iran. Reza (Kurdish Aspect) weighs in: Despite repetitive cautions by both Kurdish Regional Government and Baghdad, Iran has not only not dissuaded from resuming its illegitimate aerial strikes, but also dispatched ten thousands members of its Armed Revolutionary Guards deep into Kurdish territory in North of Iraq, according to a report aired by the Iraqi al-Rafedain Television. Iranian terrorist regime recently hurled baseless allegations against Kurdish Government President Massood Barzani, stating that his administration has granted 300,000 hectares of land to the members of PJAK (Party of Free Life of Kurdistan), a Kurdish political party struggling for Kurdish Human Rights, Freedom and Democracy in Iran, without the knowledge of the central government in Baghdad. Having been authorized to operate in Kurdistan for years, by now Iranian consulate agents must have collected sufficient intelligence realizing that for any purchase, sale or resale of real state, proper verified Iraqi documentations must be presented to the court to register such properties. Therefore, such groundless accusations are mere pretexts to distort the facts. The fact is Iranian military is conducting recon and maneuvering operations in Iraqi Kurdistan, something that can destabilize Iraq and imperil the lives of US troops. In other news, Al Rafidayn notes that a doctor was released Saturday after three weeks of being held hostage and after a half a million dollars was paid as ransom. Turning to some of today's reported violence, Reuters notes a Kirkuk roadside bombing which claimed the life of 1 Sahwa, a Mosul armed clash in which 3 people were killed and two police officers injured, an attack on a Mosul checkpoint in which 1 person was killed and two suspects were arrested by police, a Sulaimaniya shelling (from Iran) which injured one Iraqi woman, a Mahaweel roadside bombing which injured three police officers and, dropping back to last night, a woman was stabbed to death in Jurf al-Sakhar. Turning to the US, on Boiling Frogs whistle blower Sibel Edmonds and Peter B. Collins spoke with journalist James Bamford about the administration's war on whistle blowers and more. Excerpt: Sibel Edmonds: We have all these secret wars, all these covert wars and all these overt wars, and all these attacks on transparency and whistle blowers, Jim, and yet we have even less media coverage of these important issues today, now, than we had during the Bush administration. And this also applies to the so-called alternative media . You either have Obama apologists who are actually defending this president's actions on all these different issues we just discussed or they simply don't write about it or analyze. I mean, for example, The New Yorker. I remember New Yorker's Seymour Hersh during the first three years of the Bush administration had fourteen, fifteen articles -- investigative pieces on these covert operations, whether the assassinations or the covert wars. And he's been absent. The New Yorker has been absent. As far as the other alternative media channels have been silent. The fundings for anti-war movement has dried up. We had all these foundations and think tanks that supplied these organizations and coalitions -- anti-war coalitions with money -- you know, get out there and raise objections and raise your voice, and now they don't have the money because they are not opposing these wars because they have this Democratic president and they're still backing him despite all of this record. So, I mean, what is happening with both mainstream media and the alternative when it comes to these issues that we just discussed, Jim? James Bamford: Well I would have loved to have had just half the amount of coverage that [former US House] Representative [Anthony] Weiner had on the issue of his uh his Twitter pictures. Just half that amount of press focused on Anwar al-Awlaki and the fact that we're targeting American citizens for murder without any judicial allowance just killing them. To me, it's absurd that we haven't had enough, nearly enough, coverage of issues like that. And it's sort of a minor issue that attracts [press] attention and you just sort of wonder: Why, if they're going to pay that much attention to an issue like that, why can't they pay an equal amount or at least half as much to something as important as the US military and the CIA going after American citizens not convicted of any crime and not under any judicial kind of sentence or anything. gareth porter al mada suha sheikhly adam youssef al rafidayn the washington times eli lake al jazeera agi aswat al-iraq |

Repainting the old
Then, we have exhibit B: the Victoria Picture Palace Theatre in Devonport.

Yes, I totally agree with your sentiments; the post office looks much smarter and more 'complete' in its new set of clothes, while the solid white is unimaginative, cheap and nasty.
Used to shudder when a particular gold rush-era pub in Bendigo changed hands (it had new owners approx. every 2 years) the paint brush would come out and the results were getting worse and worse each time.
It's pretty average at the moment, too.My partner used to own an historic building which he turned in to a restaurant in Onehunga...you wouldn't believe the hassles he had trying to get the Council to allow him to paint the outside of it ... he is sympathetic to historic causes and has a great love of things historical as i do. We are both members of the Historic Places Trust.
Sometimes Councils do buildings a disservice, especially when people have gone to major lengths to keep things as original as possible!
Interestingly i remember the outcry when the Peacock fountain was renovated and reinstalled in the Christchurch Botanic gardens a few years back...original colours and people hated it..i LOVE it ..it has such character.
I'm off to London for 3 weeks [a bit of work thrown in]! Catch you soon if not during! Keep up the great work!
Sandy xI agree with you totally about the bland white paint job that has been done on the theatre. A building full of interesting facade detail has been denied expression.
We have a building here in Palmerston North -Square Edge- where a repainting job has maybe gone too far to the opposite extreme: it is very bright- all the facade details stand out- but there is no sense of context with surrounding buildings.

The CBI today conducted searches in the premises of three associates of jailed mining baron G Janardhana Reddy at Hospet in the district as part of its probe into illegal export of iron ore.
A 10-member CBI team searched the houses of Karapudi Mahesh, Swastik Nagaraj and Somasekhar, who runs a transport firm, all aides of Reddy, CBI sources said.
Raids are being conducted in Sandur Taluk of mine-rich Bellary district also, they said.
CBI had yesterday filed an FIR on the illegal export of iron ore from Belikeri port in Uttara Kannada district in Karnataka, the investigation of which has been entrusted to it by the Supreme Court.
The CBI had earlier filed a criminal case on the directions of the Supreme Court in October last year against Reddy and others under various IPC sections, Prevention of Corruption Act, Indian Forest Act and Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) Act 1957.

Friday night I got on an overnight, 8 hour train to Yongding, to see the tulous in the southwestern Fujian countryside - tulous are big buildings, normally circular or square, with several floors, that whole clans of people in this area used to live in to protect themselves from bandits and wild animals.

However, we have never made it right around. The lanes twist and turn every few meters, and I'm always wondering what is around that corner, and so we go off the main path.

Modelling and Forecasting the Volatility of the Daily Returns of Nigerian Insurance Stocks
This paper examines the volatility of the daily returns of Nigerian insurance stocks. Using empirical analysis, the study shows that the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (EGARCH) model is more suitable in modelling stock price returns as it outperforms the other models in model-estimation evaluation and out-of-sample volatility forecasting. Given the cardinal role of insurance in Nigeria's risk management system the present findings can be useful in understanding insurance industry's stock risk. The policy implications are also considered.

Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strenghtener Reviews
Worth your $$$
This $8 base coat is definitely worth your money. It dries fast and protects your nails from the harsh nail polish chemicals. I did get a little discoloring on one or two nails, but I paint my nails once--sometimes twice-- a week, so it's understandable. I've gone through a number of base coats and so far this one is the best. Even my boyfriend noticed how healthy my naked nails looked (go figure...read more). My nails are very hard and brittle so I always need something to moisturize them. I picked this one off the shelf at CVS because it was on sale for around $6. That was definitely one of the best $6 I've ever spent. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

There's few things in the world that piss me off. No, actually there are a lot of things that piss me off. One of them is tagging me in horrible pictures on Facebook, especially in events that, literally, happened several years ago. If that doesn't make you feel bad then there's a good chance that MemoShake will by showing you all the Facebook memories you tried to forget.
So MemoShake has only one function: to show you random crap from Facebook. MemoShake is simliar, conceptually, to Reddit Stream, as it displays random photos and captions from your Facebook account. MemoShake lets you share any of your photos and shake your phone to randomly switch to a new one.
Now I'm still hopelessly hooked into Facebook and, basically, bring joy to the masses on the official Android Static Facebook Page each and every day. But apps like MemoShake are fun because they allow you remember, well, what you've forgot. Like that time you ate some strange fruit in Nicaragua or visited Washington, D.C. on a last minute road trip.
MemoShake does of course require that you have a Facebook account (sort of the whole point). Additionally, MemoShake will let you add your other social media accounts like Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, Instagram, Google Plus and Foursquare.
MemoShake certainly isn't the app for everyone, but it's great for folks with a lot of Facebook photo and that want to relive their glory days. The app is completely free and doesn't even have ads.
Free: MemoShake
Hi Matthew,
Great article about MemoShake! I loved your enthusiasm for being able to relive your glory days. Thanks for pointing out that you can add other services to the app other than just Facebook. We hope to keep creating fun products to help users rediscover their greatest memories!

Locals were told last year not to feed the swans. In fact, last January the state put out a plan to kill or capture all mute swans by 2025 — a plan it later backtracked on.
Locals were told last year not to feed the swans. In fact, last January the state put out a plan to kill or capture all mute swans by 2025 — a plan it later backtracked on.
An unconscious man was pulled from Flanders Bay Monday afternoon after a boat sailing from the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center spotted the swimmer in the water, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
A second man, who was from the same boat, was located still conscious about 20 minutes later in Flanders Bay and was pulled to safety by Southampton Bay constables.
The Coast Guard's Shinnecock Station got the first report of a swimmer who was unconscious in the water about 2:30 p.m., when a Long Island Aquarium vessel found the man in Flanders Bay, said U.S. Guard Petty Officer Michael Fusco.
The Long Island Aquarium boat was unable to pull the man aboard, he said. A U.S. Coast Guard boat arrived on scene 11 minutes later and pulled the man from the water.
The man was unconscious when he was recovered from the bay, and remained unconscious as he was brought back to shore, Mr. Fusco said.
The Flanders-Northampton Volunteer Ambulance Corps took the man to a local hospital, Mr. Fusco said, though he did not specify which.
Less than 10 minutes after the first man was pulled from the water, a second man was spotted in Flanders Bay near a boat that had drifted away, Mr. Fusco said. That man, who was conscious but had become stranded in the water, was pulled aboard a Southampton Bay Constables vessel, Mr. Fusco said.
Authorities later learned the two men were from the same boat, though Mr. Fusco did not say how they ended up in the water.
Updates on the two men's conditions were not immediately available.

Summer is my favourite time of year. I could be outside all day everyday. Last week was so nice and relaxing. I was cat sitting and spending every morning with a coffee in the backyard basking in the sun with the kitty.
My white sun hat got crushed in my luggage on the way back from Mexico back in February, and I've been looking for a new one to replace it ever since. I finally found this one and love it!

Ninety-Five Theses
The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power of Indulgences, commonly known as The Ninety-Five Theses, was written by Martin Luther.[1]
Luther argued that the Church should not sell indulgences. Because many people agreed, Luther became very popular, paving the way for the Protestant Reformation.
On October 31, 1517, Luther approached the church authorities with his pressing call for reform. On this day he presented them with his theses. When the bishops did not respond, Luther circulated his theses privately. The theses spread quickly and were printed in Nuremberg, Leipzig, and Basel.[2]
Most recently, in February 2007, the media reported that a handwritten note by Luther's secretary Georg Rörer, found in the university library at Jena, appeared to confirm the traditional account of Luther's nailing the theses to the door. As of February 2007, this new find has yet to be assessed by scholars.[3]

China's Chery motors last week uncovered the car many say will be its first US-bound export — the V525 crossover. It's the latest incarnation of an MPV-style car entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin has said his Visionary Vehicles company will import to the US beginning in 2007. The V525 was reportedly developed with a dream team that included Lotus and Italy's Bertone design house, and sports a 127 hp, 2.3-liter engine sourced from Mitsubishi. Bricklin has always said his imports will offer the features of a $30,000 car for under $20,000, and the V525 is reported to be loaded with ABS with electronic brake distribution (EBD), traction control, nav system and digital entertainment. Chery says the crossover, which will go on sale there this month, will be offered in North America, but provided no further details — and hasn't confirmed Bricklin's participation in its US business.

MA Beauty Insider: Three Simple Steps for a Celestial Complexion
Saturday, February 22, 2014
A smooth light-reflective surface is necessary for carefree makeup application but dry winds and frigid temperatures may have left you with a dull ashy surface. Remake it with gentle exfoliation.

MAC Strobe Cream is fully loaded with starry iridescent particles to bring back the light. Click here for more information or to buy.
Now that you've got great skin again, don't go full throttle on cover-up. Let a neutral airy foundation give you a light-gathering natural look. Nobody does illumination better than Laura Mercier. Its tinted moisturizer is a cult classic with a colossal following. It creates an unbiased canvas that simply put, looks as renewed as the longed-for spring landscape. Add a creamy blush in a twinkling color to extend the light-giving glow.
Winter may have more dark nights in store for us and spring may still be a dream away, but creating a heavenly complexion knows no season. Bring on the light.

The narrow streets and tall cement buildings of the world-renowned IDF Urban Warfare Training Center echoed with shouts in flawless English as US Marines delve into another close-quarters-battle drill.
As part of the ongoing cooperation between the Israeli Defense Forces and the US Armed Forces stationed in Europe, a company of US Marines came to Israel for a month of intensive training at IDF facilities and alongside IDF soldiers. Dividing their time between the Adam Base in central Israel and the Tze'elim Base in the south, the soldiers trained in urban and cautious warfare, reconnaissance, and at various shooting ranges.
As they embark on a training exercise at the UWTC, Platoon Sgt. Robert Hattenbach explains, "We've never been to a mock town like that of the IDF." He mentions the facility's size and unique structure and continues "it's important for our soldiers to train in different sites, preparing them for anything."The soldiers were thrilled to train at the city as well, raving about its realistic feel.
A smoke grenade hits the floor, rapidly secreting thick smoke of a vibrant color used for camouflage against the lurking enemy. Yelling out commands, M4s ready, they sneak from building to building, clearing out every room and securing their objective.
The success of the operation is determined by the Captain, and the "enemy" is a squad of the Marines platoon, hiding inside each multiple story building waiting for the other squads to find them.
"By training here," Hospital Corpsman HM1 Raymond Price elaborates, "we can better combat terrorism at any area and field." He continues, "coming to Israel has been an inspirational trip, it's beautiful to see how Israel has managed to preserve so many years of history, culture and tradition."
"This trip was a serious wake up call," says Sgt. Hattenbach. "The instructors at the Adam Base took the time to explain to us what's been going on in Israel and we realized that Israeli people are just like us. We now better understand what Israel really is and when we go back to the US we can tell people that."
During earlier exercises that involved IDF forces, the US Marines were impressed by their work "the tactics used by the snipers and Special Forces are much more efficient," explains Cpl. Lombard, "they also focus more on the safety of each individual soldier rather than the mission."
The company is one of the only young Marines units; all at around 19 years old, they are close in age to the Israeli soldiers and were able to from close bonds. However unlike IDF soldiers, the Marines volunteer to draft. "We have a responsibility for our country," they agree, "you can't just sit at home hearing of everything going on in the world and remain idle."
This particular company, the Marine Corps Fast Team Security Forces, enlisted for five years, three of which they spend deployed to Europe or Africa and after further infantry training are sent to the battle fronts at either Iraq or Afghanistan.
Concluding their training in Israel, the company went for a well-deserved rest at the Dead Sea.

Birrwil is a municipality in the district of Kulm in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
Isolated finds of artifacts indicate settlement during the Neolithic, Roman and Alamanni eras. The beginnings of the modern town go back to an Alamanni named Bero (meaning Bear), who founded the village Beriwilare (meaning Bero's village) in the area.[3] Birrwil is first mentioned in 1185 as Beriuuillare.[4]
The village was part of the dominion of Lenzburg, Kyburg and the finally the Habsburgs. Between 1185-1331 there was a noble local family, though they and their castle have disappeared. The power of Zwing und Bann (Manor rights as well as low justice) over the village, was held by the Lords of Hohenklingen, then from 1326-1798 by the citizens of Liebegg. The Counts of Hallwyl owned a small piece of the shore (Dingstätte), starting in 1419. For over three centuries (1415-1798) Birrwil was under the control of Bern. Since the 1803 Act of Mediation created the Canton of Aargau, the village has been part of the new Canton. The former manor houses were only fully incorporated in the 19th and 20th century into Birrwil (Schwaderhof 1822, Wilhof 1905).
The village church was first mentioned in 1275. In 1528, during the Protestant Reformation, the church converted to the new religion. In 1689 the old church was replaced by a new building.
Economically, both in the 18th and 19th century the cotton industry was a major source of income. In 1857 the tobacco industry also entered the village. Both of these formerly major industries have vanished from the municipality. As of 1990, 17% of the population was employed in the primary economic sector, 31% in the secondary sector and 52% in the tertiary sector. 72% of the economically active population of Birrwil work outside the community.[4]
Birrwil is located in the Seetal valley, on the western shore of Lake Hallwil. It is situated on four thin terraces on the steep east slopes of Mounts Eichhalde and Güggeliberg, between 70 and 150 meters (230 and 490 ft) above the lake surface. The shore of the lake is unusually undeveloped. Elevations in the municipality range between 449 and 771 meters (1,473 and 2,530 ft).
Neighboring municipalities are Leutwil in the north-west, Boniswil in the north, Meisterschwanden in the east, Beinwil am See in the south, Reinach in the south-west, and Zetzwil in the west.
The municipality has an area, as of 2009[update], of 3.42 square kilometers (1.32 sq mi). Of this area, 2.01 square kilometers (0.78 sq mi) or 58.8% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.98 square kilometers (0.38 sq mi) or 28.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.45 square kilometers (0.17 sq mi) or 13.2% is settled (buildings or roads).[5]
The built up area can be sub-divided into housing and buildings that made up 8.8% and transportation infrastructure that made up 3.5%. 25.4% of the total land area is heavily forested and 3.2% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 19.0% is used for growing crops and 34.5% is pastures, while 5.3% is used for orchards or vine crops.[5]
Coat of arms[edit]
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure a Pear Branch leaved Vert and fructed Argent and coupeaux of the second. The pear in the coat of arms makes it an example of canting (German: Birne).[6]
Birrwil has a population (as of December 2015[update]) of 1,132[7] As of June 2009[update], 10.7% of the population are foreign nationals.[8] Over the last 10 years (1997–2007) the population has changed at a rate of -4.5%. Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (93.6%), with Albanian being second most common ( 1.1%) and French being third ( 0.8%).[9]
The age distribution, as of 2008[update], in Birrwil is; 61 children or 6.5% of the population are between 0 and 9 years old and 88 teenagers or 9.4% are between 10 and 19. Of the adult population, 86 people or 9.2% of the population are between 20 and 29 years old. 106 people or 11.3% are between 30 and 39, 166 people or 17.8% are between 40 and 49, and 164 people or 17.5% are between 50 and 59. The senior population distribution is 144 people or 15.4% of the population are between 60 and 69 years old, 79 people or 8.4% are between 70 and 79, there are 33 people or 3.5% who are between 80 and 89,and there are 8 people or 0.9% who are 90 and older.[10]
As of 2000[update] the average number of residents per living room was 0.49 which is fewer people per room than the cantonal average of 0.57 per room. In this case, a room is defined as space of a housing unit of at least 4 m2 (43 sq ft) as normal bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, kitchens and habitable cellars and attics.[11] About 61.3% of the total households were owner occupied, or in other words did not pay rent (though they may have a mortgage or a rent-to-own agreement).[12] As of 2000[update], there were 33 homes with 1 or 2 persons in the household, 184 homes with 3 or 4 persons in the household, and 186 homes with 5 or more persons in the household. The average number of people per household was 2.25 individuals.[13] As of 2000[update], there were 416 private households (homes and apartments) in the municipality, and an average of 2.3 persons per household.[9] In 2008[update] there were 184 single family homes (or 39.2% of the total) out of a total of 469 homes and apartments.[14] There were a total of 7 empty apartments for a 1.5% vacancy rate.[14] As of 2007[update], the construction rate of new housing units was 3.2 new units per 1000 residents.[9]
In the 2007 federal election the most popular party was the SVP which received 34.4% of the vote. The next three most popular parties were the SP (17.4%), the FDP (17.2%) and the Green Party (8.2%).[9]
The entire Swiss population is generally well educated. In Birrwil about 77.8% of the population (between age 25-64) have completed either non-mandatory upper secondary education or additional higher education (either university or a Fachhochschule).[9] Of the school age population (in the 2008/2009 school year[update]), there are 44 students attending primary school in the municipality.[13]
The historical population is given in the following table:[4][10]

I like the new style way better, much easier for me and it looks so cool to see all my album covers as if they are on a wall, its like I walked into a record store and see a bunch of albums on the wall, so cool.
It DOES look cool, but so far, for me, functionally, I find it a little difficult to pick out the album I want. The matrix album covers are 1/4 the area of the cover flow covers. Maybe I'll get used to it, though. We'll see.
Just a quick tip, you can use multi touch to zoom in and out when in the grid area.
Excellent! It's much better at 2 x 3.5 covers per screen! Thanks for the tip!
No Problem! At first I didnt like the default layout either but zooming out makes me much better.
OK. So my listening fatigue with the 5S was definitely due to my alergies / inner ear fluid issues. The symptoms distinctly manifested and I took allergy medicine and the issue is waning, and so last night I was able to spend some quality time with the 5S without fatigue or discomfort (although I'm still not 100 percent, so I'm classing my findings here as preliminary).
And, I am impressed. As others have said, the 5S seems to be more "detailed" with better definition, especially in the bass, and more aggressive--i.e. more "dynamic". It's subtle, and like others have said, there aren't big difference between various generations of iphones and ipods, but they still exist and they still matter to many people, myself included.
What is a lot more objectively ascertainable, however, is that the 5S can definitely handle harder to drive (and/or go louder with them) headphones. From A/B testing, I found that my 4 was noticeably less able to drive my Grado SR-225's and my Sony MDR-7506's than my Apogee Duet. And I should note that neither of these phones is "hard" to drive! Meanwhile, I found with the 5S that it really did a very good job at driving both the 225 and 7506. The sound was better with the Duet, but not a lot better. Only just noticeably better, no more. And I have my volume limit set lower than on my 4 for the same loudness. So, in my personal, not-very-strict testing, I have found that the 5S can go loud and drive harder to drive headphones than my 4. On the flip side, I'm not that thrilled with the sound of the PX-100's out of the 5S. I think it was also flawed out of my 4, but the flaws out of the 4 didn't bother me much--bass was a bit soft and undefined, loss of details in the treble, not as good with dynamics.
Meanwhile, I'm thrilled with the sound of the 7506's straight out of the 5S. Really dynamic stuff like well mic'd and recorded drums, acoustic guitars, fast synth, etc., is wonderful to listen to straight out of the 5S.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing what the ER-4S sound like out of the 5S, and I think the higher impedance (100 ohms) will only help matters given that the 5S can and will drive the ER-4S's loud enough.
^ Thanks for the impressions man, I should get mine tomorrow.
Thanks for your feed back, and the comparison with the Duet. It would be interesting to have more details about your feelings comparing these two sources.
I did the same between an Edirol FA-66 and iphone 3GS, using DT-770 pro 250 headphones.
Files are apple Lossles, 48/24, 44.1/24 or 44.1/16.
Concerning the iphone, I use "Audiophile"+"MaxVolume" app, with the Mac+FA-66, "Fidelia" player.
No EQ.
It's funny to notice that both sound great, but different.
A more "solid stage" with the Edirol, good bodied bass, but shy highs sometimes so you can miss some details, feeling it's lacking resolution.
By the way it's a good card for the price but you can find better (A Prismsound Lyra for exemple? ahah, definitly not the same league).
On the other hand, the iphone 3GS is a bit less bassy (very subtle), but gives a very smoth and wide presentation. A very pleasant listening with every kind of music.
It's a good "on the go" player thanks to Audiophile app (flater with IOS 6 player).
My only (big) issue with it are the 16Go. It's definitly not enough for a lossless storage.
So I'm wondering if the 5S offers the same audio quality... Or should I look to a dedicated player like Fiio X3 or Hifiman HM-901?
Your comments are welcome...
It's a shame Apple didn't take the opportunity this year to up the storage sizes. 16GB is really nonsense in this day and age. More so with 64 bit. And charging $100 extra for an $8 chip, $200 extra for a $15 chip.... Then again, stores are discounting them already in the US -- so we will see how it goes.

Racism on College Campuses: A More Subtle Look?
by Yasmine Alwan on April 8, 2014 in Must Reads with No Comments »This NYT article, "Students See Many Slights as Racial 'Microagressions'," explores a trend in discussions at US colleges about racism. Social workers have been talking about microagressions for years and anyone who has experienced racism already knows exactly what a microagression is: a communication that occurs on the subtle level of gesture, tone, or implication. Students have begun pointing to this micro-level of action rather than overt and direct demeaning statements, opening up conversations about what constitutes racism. Of course, this has stoked some controversy, as this article seems eager to note. Strikes me that the author has some doubt and to be fair, determining someone else's "true intention" can be a tricky affair. But to deny the existence of this form of aggression strikes this reader as possibly more dangerous.

Freespace picked back up by Interplay ... almost good news
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2013 - 02:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: freespace, gaming, interplay
Interplay were the original owners of the Freespace IP and sold it off to THQ, who did absolutely nothing with it and apparently did not see any value in it as THQ just sold it back to Interplay for a mere $7500. This is not necessarily good news as Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN points out Interplay is not necessarily the healthiest company right now. So far there is no news about future releases nor really anything apart from the transfer of ownership, but at least we know Freespace is still somewhat alive.
"Yes, Interplay, the company who's only slightly more existent than THQ at this point. The publisher sealed the deal with a cool-as-an-airless-vacuum sum of $7500, which is a disturbingly small amount of my total yearly rent. If I moved someplace else, I could own Freespace. Right now. I will carry this regret to my deathbed."
