President Bush delivered the first in a series of speeches advancing his war policies before an American Legion audience in Salt Lake City earlier today. The transcript is here. The subject of today's speech was, in Bush's words, "a critical aspect of this war: the struggle between freedom and terror in the Middle East, including the battle in Iraq, which is the central front in our fight against terrorism."
The President's themes were ones he has sounded many times before: the failure of our decades-old, pre-September 11 policy of pursuing "stability" in the Middle East; the forward strategy of attacking terrorists where they live; and the long-run importance of bringing freedom to Islamic countries. The President talked about Iran:
This summer's crisis in Lebanon has made it clearer than ever that the world now faces a grave threat from the radical regime in Iran. The Iranian regime arms, funds, and advises Hezbollah, which has killed more Americans than any terrorist network except al Qaeda. The Iranian regime interferes in Iraq by sponsoring terrorists and insurgents, empowering unlawful militias, and supplying components for improvised explosive devices. The Iranian regime denies basic human rights to millions of its people. And the Iranian regime is pursuing nuclear weapons in open defiance of its international obligations.
Bush said, again, that "we must not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon." But the key paragraphs related, I think, to Iraq. He reviewed our reasons for toppling Saddam, and the history of the conflict there. He acknowledged the current "crisis" in Baghdad, and described the current security campaign there. Bush then turned to the home front:
Here at home we have a choice to make about Iraq. Some politicians look at our efforts in Iraq and see a diversion from the war on terror. That would come as news to Osama bin Laden, who proclaimed that the "third world war is raging" in Iraq. It would come as news to the number two man of al Qaeda, Zawahiri, who has called the struggle in Iraq, quote, "the place for the greatest battle." It would come as news to the terrorists from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and other countries, who have to come to Iraq to fight the rise of democracy.
It's hard to believe that these terrorists would make long journeys across dangerous borders, endure heavy fighting, or blow themselves up in the streets of Baghdad, for a so-called "diversion." Some Americans didn't support my decision to remove Saddam Hussein; many are frustrated with the level of violence. But we should all agree that the battle for Iraq is now central to the ideological struggle of the 21st century. We will not allow the terrorists to dictate the future of this century — so we will defeat them in Iraq.
A little later came what seems to me to be the most vital point:
We can decide to stop fighting the terrorists in Iraq and other parts of the world, but they will not decide to stop fighting us. General John Abizaid, our top commander in the Middle East region, recently put it this way: "If we leave, they will follow us." And he is right. The security of the civilized world depends on victory in the war on terror, and that depends on victory in Iraq. So the United States of America will not leave until victory is achieved.
I think a great many Americans mostly wish the war against the terrorists would go away. A childish attitude, shared by many, rests on the idea that the current conflict is of our choosing, and that we can somehow say "never mind," and it will disappear. I am reminded of Trotsky's grim dictum: "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you." The terrorists are interested in us, whether we like it or not. There is nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. We didn't choose this war, but we are in it, and have been since 1979. There are only two choices: win the war or lose it. That is the choice that President Bush will be laying before the American people in the weeks to come.

It's a variation on a road going D Type,with an XK150 grille/bonnet!
My friend in Buenos Aires, Argentina spotted this the other day... Any guesses what it is ?
Rory - Jaguar Forum Administrator - Help Support the Forum
It's a variation on a road going D Type,with an XK150 grille/bonnet!
2000 S Type manual(now sold and replaced with a Transit Connect!) BMW E30 cabbie in the very rare neon green colour and a Nissan Micra for 'er indoors!
In fact, the car is actually an XK120C type ( or C Type for short ) I can't tell if it is a genuine one or a recreation but it is a 1953 model with the bonnet scoop to feed the 3 twin choke Webbers with which that years cars we fitted.
Agree on the c type though real or not, needs some tlc.
2012 XKR Black pack, Speed Pack, Aero pack, Rat pack. Past:-87'XJS 3.6L, 93'XJ40 3.2L gold, 95'XJ6 4.0L sport, 00'XJ8 3.2L sport, 2005 XK8 4.2L coupe, 2009 XK 5.0L Portfolio in that order and enjoyed all of 'em.
I do not offer advice, I only say what I would do with the set of circumstances presented. Your choice always.
Just imagine how much it could be worth if it turned out to be one of the 53 original ones. Old cars do turn up in the "New World" where they have been forgotten. I would give it a home if I had the room.
This is a C type.
I just purchased a C type recreation about one month ago
I live in the USA but born in Buenos Aires, still have friends there.
I have a lot of cars, but I must say I love the C type
It requires some work but I love the sound, the light weight,
the looks, the engine 6 inline with Weber carburators, all is great.
Even my wife loves it, despite the fact she burned its leg on the exhaust
This is a right hand drive car so she climbed in the car on the exhaust side
that's a replica. fibreglass bonnet and its left hand drive (which no real ones were).
'97 and '98 XJR V8s, C-type replica

Fifteen high schoolers from across the state chosen to represent student interests
Springfield, IL – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced the selection of 15 high school students from across the state to serve on the Student Advisory Council (SAC), which brings student concerns to the attention of ISBE.

The Changing Outlook for Worldwide HIV Treatment
The fight for affordable AIDS medications for the millions of poor people living with HIV/AIDS across the globe is far from over, yet one year ago, few would have predicted how far the struggle has come since the International AIDS Conference in Durban last summer.
A revolution is happening in Africa. Largely due to the efforts of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), a group of South African people affected by HIV/AIDS, chances are improving that some of the poorest people in the world may one day obtain the expensive anti-AIDS medicines that have saved so many lives in the U.S. and Europe. Founded in December of 1998, South Africa's TAC is arguing for access to drugs that directly attack the virus that causes AIDS, that treat the deadly opportunistic infections that kill people with HIV/AIDS, and that block mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Before the issue garnered headlines around the world, TAC was laying the foundation for a radical revision of how the rich, industrialized countries of North America and Europe should think about public health in the developing nations of Africa, Asia and South America.
For most of the two decades of the AIDS epidemic, even after therapies became available that clearly extended the health and lives of those who took them, not many people gave serious thought to treating the millions of people infected with HIV in developing countries. Most of these millions are too poor and the drugs too expensive. Instead, the world health community rallied around the hope for an AIDS vaccine to prevent new infections, essentially writing off the deaths of millions as a sad reality. But as the HIV-positive South African High Court Judge Edwin Cameron has said:
"We don't accept 'sad realities' in South Africa. If we accepted what others told us were sad realities, we would still have had a racist oligarchy oppressing our people. We would have had indescribable chaos and bloodshed. We have shown through our history that we will confront those 'sad realities,' and we will change them."
And change them, they have. Led by TAC (and a few other organizations, including the Nobel Prize-winning Doctors without Borders), there is now a global call to drastically reduce the prices of these expensive drugs and to allow the manufacture and importation of cheaper generic copies of patented medications. Many argue that the violation of pharmaceutical patent protections by poorer nations is permitted by international trade agreements allowing compulsory licensing and parallel importing in cases of national emergency, such as the AIDS epidemic.
The pharmaceutical companies have fought back. The South African Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association and forty multinational drug companies (including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Boehringer-Ingelheim and Roche) are challenging that country's Medicines and Related Substances Control Amendment Act. The Medicines Act, passed by the South African Parliament and signed into law by Nelson Mandela in 1997, contains several provisions intended to make essential medicines more accessible and affordable to its citizens. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has also warned generic manufacturers against supplying Ghana and Uganda with cheaper versions of its drugs lamivudine (3TC) and zidovudine (AZT). In a November, 2000, letter to Cipla Limited, the Indian generic drug maker, GSK barked:
"Importation, sale or offering for sale of products containing lamivudine and zidovudine in Uganda by Cipla or any of its affiliates represents an infringement of our Company's exclusive patent rights. I look forward to your assurance that you will cease all infringing activity in Uganda and respect the above mentioned patent rights."
Activists here in the U.S., led by the HealthGAP Coalition, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power/Philadelphia and the Consumer Project on Technology, have been successful in getting the federal government to moderate its unqualified support for industry on this issue. In December, 1999, President Clinton issued an Executive Order that allows countries in sub-Saharan Africa to pursue the manufacture, importation, and use of generic anti-AIDS drugs without the threat of U.S. government intervention to block their actions. To the surprise of many, the new Bush administration has announced that it will maintain the Clinton order.
However, the U.S. has asked the World Trade Organization to initiate a dispute resolution procedure against Brazil over one of its patent law provisions that allows compulsory licensing for products that are not produced locally. While the U.S. Trade Representative's office has assured activists that there are other provisions in Brazilian law that allow compulsory licensing of pharmaceuticals -- specifically in the case of national emergency -- many are worried that the U.S. actions will have a chilling effect on Brazil's successful AIDS program. The Brazilian approach has used locally produced generic versions of antiretroviral medications to treat approximately 100,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, sparing them from unnecessary suffering and death. In addition, the U.S. government is now pushing for stringent intellectual property provisions in the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, which are more restrictive to compulsory licensing than current international agreements. These provisions, if enacted, could hinder the implementation of effective AIDS treatment programs like Brazil's in over thirty nations in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
Lately, the pharmaceutical industry has been feeling the heat. In February 2001, Cipla offered to supply HIV triple-combination therapy (i.e., stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine) for $350 per patient per year to Doctors without Borders, and to sell the therapy for $600 per patient per year to poor governments. After the Cipla offer, and amid growing concern in the industry over a tarnished public image, several big AIDS drug makers have significantly dropped the prices of their patented antiretroviral medications in the developing world. While these price cuts are welcome (and belie the notion that industry cannot afford to sell these drugs in the developing world at reduced prices), many of the offers come with restrictions in the fine print that limit the reductions to only certain countries or regions. This patchwork-pricing plan leaves the drugs still out of reach for many nations and still more expensive than generic versions offered by Cipla and others. For instance, Merck said they would not offer Brazil the yearly per person price of $600 for Crixivan and $500 for Stocrin (efavirenz) that South Africa had been offered. Merck claimed that Brazil is not as needy as other countries, yet some activists wonder if Brazil has been targeted for its willingness to make its own generic antiretroviral drugs. Indeed, Brazil has threatened to start producing a generic version of Stocrin this summer if prices don't come down. In retaliation, Merck threatened to take legal action against a Brazilian laboratory when they imported a generic form of Stocrin from India as the first step towards copying the drug. As we went to press, Merck had struck a deal with the Brazilian government to lower the prices of its two antiviral drugs, proving once again that generic competition (or the prospect thereof) can drive prices down. Whether the deal holds needs to be watched carefully.
Last summer, many of us who went to the International AIDS Conference in Durban listened glumly as South African President Thabo Mbeki questioned whether HIV was the cause of AIDS. In a protest march to the conference center through the streets of Durban, the women and men of TAC were asking a different, altogether more important question: Why should some people have the privilege of purchasing their life and health when 34 million people in the resource-poor world are falling ill, feeling sick to death, and are dying? Justice Cameron posed this very question in a speech that same week. For Justice Cameron this "seems a moral inequity of such fundamental proportions that no one can look at it and fail to be spurred to thought and action about it." The world is beginning to rise to his challenge.
While prices from industry are not yet at the level that make them affordable to many countries, many people are now pondering how to deploy antiretroviral therapy in these regions. How do you procure these drugs in bulk? How do you distribute them? How do you build up the health care infrastructure in those places that need additional resources in order to deliver these drugs to patients? How do you train doctors and other healthcare providers in the painstaking details of treating HIV/AIDS? How do you medically manage antiretroviral therapy in resource-poor settings? Few dared to move beyond a theoretical consideration of these questions a year ago.
The pharmaceutical industry has made some public concessions but as yet they've shipped no drugs. Lately, they've been flexing their formidable public relations muscle to try to lower expectations -- recently a flurry of articles and op-ed pieces have appeared questioning the feasibility of ever solving the infrastructure problems of Africa. We've made considerable progress during the past year but the challenges posed by Justice Cameron will not be met until the tide of suffering and death is stemmed.

2010-11 RTC Class Schedule: North Carolina Tar HeelsPosted by zhayes9 on September 26th, 2010
Zach Hayes is a editor, contributor and bracketologist at Rush the Court. To see the entire group of 2010-11 Class Schedules, click here.
Following a blissful 2009 that culminated in Roy Williams' second national championship since taking over at his alma mater, life as a North Carolina basketball fan hasn't exactly been business as usual. The development of the John Henson-led recruiting class didn't advance as quickly as hoped, guard play and defense continued to be lingering issues, injuries curtailed the seasons of some key players and a staggering five ACC losses at the Dean Dome followed. This all resulted in a spot in the NIT while their bitter rivals from down Tobacco Road emerged as the final team standing. Don't feel so sorry for Tar Heel fans, though. With a Hall of Famer at the helm, continued success on the recruiting trail and the history and lore of UNC basketball remaining strong, there won't be too many more NIT berths on the horizon. With a questionable ACC and arguably the best freshman in the nation wearing the powder blue, a jump from tenth to second in the conference isn't out of the question (schedule here).
Team Outlook: One thing that Roy Williams should stress during October practice and even into non-conference play is that every single spot in the starting five is an open competition. There's talent and potential stardom flooding this roster, but the roles and minutes have yet to be determined. Larry Drew improved his court vision and shooting touch from his freshman to sophomore seasons, but he could be challenged by incoming freshman Kendall Marshall. Williams also has sophomores Dexter Strickland, Leslie McDonald and rookie Reggie Bullock, known for his athleticism and outside shooting, to compete for time in the backcourt. Harrison Barnes will in all likelihood instantly be their most dynamic player. Barnes is a one-and-done who can create his own shot and has such a mature and refined game for an 18-year old. The question mark could be in the frontcourt where it's yet to be determined if Tyler Zeller can remain healthy and John Henson can contribute more offensively as a sophomore. Both possess the skill level for breakout campaigns, giving Williams plenty of weapons.
Non-Conference Schedule Rank (ranked 1 thru 10, 10 being the most difficult): 7. After a warm-up against Lipscomb, the Tar Heels embark for Puerto Rico where they'll be the prohibitive favorites to take the tournament crown. The most threatening obstacles will be Minnesota in the semifinals and a potential championship game against Kevin Jones and West Virginia. After downing Michigan State the last two seasons in the Challenge, Carolina receives another tough test in lllinois on the road. The Illini should be greatly improved in 2010-11 with Demetri McCamey opting to return for a senior season and the skilled frontcourt duo of Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale. The series with Kentucky continues with the Wildcats visiting the Dean Dome, a young, inexperienced group still likely trying to mesh at that early stage in the season. The final challenge is a semi-home game in Greensboro against Texas after the two teams battled it out in Dallas last December, a hyped battle that turned out to be quite pedestrian when both schools grossly underachieved by seasons end. Carolina also faces rebuilding Rutgers in NYC and travels to Evansville for a game against the Missouri Valley bottom feeder.
Cupcake City: I'd give Williams credit for striking an appropriate balance on the number of challenging games a program with the stature of North Carolina should take on while also sprinkling in a handful of cupcakes that will help this curious team mesh and develop chemistry. The opener against Lipscomb is a glorified exhibition and the Puerto Rico opener against Hofstra shouldn't be an upset threat unless Williams' rotation is in flux and CAA POY candidate Charles Jenkins has a career performance. The Heels also draw UNC-Asheville and will be looking for some revenge when College of Charleston comes to town (unbelievably, Carolina was ranked ninth during that upset). Two teams that may challenge the Heels are Long Beach State and William & Mary. The 49ers return their top three scorers under former Minnesota headman Dan Monson. The Tribe, one of the feel-good stories of last season that saw their season end in the NIT against Carolina, brings back Quinn McDowell to a team that attempted the third most three-pointers in the nation last season, a dangerous proposition should they catch fire.
Toughest Early Season Test: Due to Kentucky's inexperience, the question marks surrounding Texas and the lack of another preseason top-25 caliber school in Puerto Rico, look for the Tar Heels toughest early season test to take place when they travel to Champaign to visit the Orange Krush. The return of McCamey changed the prospects of this entire team. The 6'3 senior led the nation in assist rate last season and will have an instant matchup advantage against any one of Drew, Marshall or Strickland. Look for sophomores Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson to greatly improve during their sophomore seasons, the twin towers of Davis and Tisdale are back to man the paint and stretch defenses, and head coach Bruce Weber was able to lure McDonalds All-American Jereme Richmond to Illinois. If the leadership and toughness improve this winter, the Illini could very well challenge Michigan State, Purdue and Ohio State atop the Big Ten. Harrison Barnes will have to be the best player on the floor for UNC to leave such a rabid atmosphere with a confidence-building victory.

After the coffee. Before asking for Fridays off in the summer.
The Skinny: Wouldn't it be great if we got Fridays off in July and August? Let's get a bill passed! In the meantime, Friday's headlines include the weekend box-office preview and reviews of "Pacific Rim" and "Grown Ups 2." Also, 20th Century Fox has Broadway dreams.
Daily Dose: Last night, Twitter turned into one long promotional platform for Syfy's "Sharknado, a spoof on disaster movies. But once again, it seems that a ton of tweets does not necessarily translate into huge ratings. "Sharknado" had an audience of just over 1 million people and only a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic in early Nielsen numbers. Bottom line: It doesn't take a lot of people to make a lot of noise on Twitter.
Will "Pacific Rim" drown? This weekend's box-office battle is between a big-budget monster flick ("Pacific Rim") and an Adam Sandler sequel ("Grown Ups 2"). The predictors, who are not always right, expect "Grown Ups 2" to take in $45 million while "Pacific Rim" will struggle to get to $35 million. Given how much "Pacific Rim" cost (almost $200 million), that would be a big disappointment. Both "Grown Ups 2" and "Pacific Rim" may finish behind "Despicable Me 2," which finished first last weekend. Weekend box-office previews from the Los Angeles Times and the Hollywood Reporter.
Bigger is better? Charter Communications Chief Executive Tom Rutledge and cable mogul John Malone (whose Liberty Media owns a stake in a Charter) are trying to make the case for greater consolidation in the cable industry. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Rutledge said that cable will eventually come down to "two major players." One of the benefits, people pushing consolidation say, is that it will lower programming costs. It may lower the costs for the distributors but that doesn't mean they'll suddenly slash cable bills for subscribers. It just means more profits.
They say the neon lights are bright. 20th Century Fox and Broadway producer Kevin McCollum are partnering on a new venture to turn the studio's movies into musicals. While other major studios already have a presence on Broadway, this is Fox's first real effort. Yes, this means there could be a Broadway version of "Mrs. Doubtfire." More from the New York Times.
From the ground up. For the first time in almost 20 years, a new cable news network is preparing to launch. Al Jazeera America, which will debut next month, has a deep-pocketed country behind it and is spending heavily. But the network may have to overcome skeptics who see its parent channel, Al Jazeera, as having an anti-U.S. and anti-Israel bias. New York magazine takes a look inside the start-up.
What to watch when you're watching more than one. Because it is summer and things are a little slow, we will veer off the hard news for a second and provide you with a USA Today article on what TV shows make for the best binge viewing.
Inside the Los Angeles Times: Kenneth Turan on "Pacific Rim." Mark Olsen on "Grown Ups 2."
Follow me on Twitter. I'll do all the heavy lifting. @JBFlint.

WND reports on SWAT raids on the innocent
Violence reflects growing militarization of local police
WND has been reporting on the trend to militarize local police departments for more than a decade. Here is a list of reports on the trend, which recently has begun to garner significant additional attention:
WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah wrote in a 1998 column titled "The cops are out of control" that while in years past seeing a police officer gave him a sense of security, it was no longer the case because of recent actions at the time by SWAT teams.
"The recent incidents in Oklahoma, where police shot an unarmed mother holding her child in her home, in Virginia, where a SWAT team killed a watchman guarding a dice game at an after-hours club and in California, where a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raid on a gun shop resulted in the death of the shopkeeper, provide some hard evidence that police in America may be getting out of control," Farah said.
He went on to note the danger of police agencies acquiring military gear even back then.
"The biggest danger we face is the federalization and militarization of all law enforcement. Inter-agency task forces, bringing together local and state police with federal agents are now the rule of the day," Farah noted. "Federal agencies bribe local cops with funding, equipment and training programs."
In 1999, there was a report about law enforcement officers in El Monte, Calif., executing a no-knock warrant when they raided the home of a retired grandfather while looking for drugs. The elderly gentleman was shot twice in the back by the city's SWAT team who then hauled his widow out of the house in nothing but panties, a towel and plastic handcuffs. The supposed drugs were nowhere to be found.
During the raid, the officers shot the locks off the doors, fired a "diversionary device" into a back bedroom and a flash grenade on the ground behind the house. The incident is even more shocking when one considers it occurred in Los Angeles County, well outside the officers' jurisdiction.
20 armed agents
In 1998, there was WND's report that 20 heavily armed federal agents and local sheriff's deputies descended from a military helicopter onto rocky Santa Cruz Island off the California coast. As snipers moved into position along the ridge tops to secure the perimeter of the attack area, other agents staged dynamic entries into the buildings – rousting 15-year-old Crystal Graybeel, who was sleeping late in her cabin.
Read the full report on "How America is Becoming a Police State," in Whistleblower.
"They started screaming, 'Put your hands where we can see them.' They unzipped my sleeping bag. I had to get face down on the floor and they handcuffed me," the teenager said.
She recalled the intruders wore ski masks and carried machine guns. They kept her handcuffed for two hours.
The target of the raid? A 6,500-acre bow-and-arrow hunting ranch, the last bastion of private property on the island. The raid resulted in three arrests – volunteer Rick Berg, 35, and caretakers Dave Mills, 34, and Brian Krantz, 33 – on suspicion of robbing Chumash Indian graves and taking human remains and artifacts, charges they denied.
WND report in 1999 a proposed change in a federal regulation that would allow federal agencies to donate "surplus" firearms to state and local law enforcement entities.
The previous regulation permitted federal agencies to donate or sell trucks, boats, aircraft and even space vehicles to state and local agencies and to individuals, but the federal property management regulations drew a line in the sand when it came to agencies like the Forest Service or FBI transferring actual weapons either by gift or sale.
Under the new regulations, used handguns, rifles, shotguns, individual light automatic weapons up to 50 caliber, and rifle and shoulder-fired grenade launchers up to 75 mm could be transferred to state agencies for donation to state and local public agencies.
A 1999 article reported George and Katrina Stokes were watching TV in their southeastern Washington, D.C., home when the local SWAT team crashed through the front door armed like something out of a Arnold Schwarzenegger film.
George was forced to the ground at gunpoint, cutting his head in the process while his wife fell down the basement stairs in an attempt to evade the intruders. A local television crew happened to be along on the raid with cameras running. When the SWAT team realized they had raided the wrong house, they simply ran back to their cars and drove off in search of the right address.
Might be a gun?
Just this year, WND reported police in Texas executed a no-knock warrant solely on the basis they believed the occupant of the house may have had a gun.
Police believed there was an AK-47 rifle inside the home after receiving a tip that the homeowner's son had drugs in the home. Police found less than a gram of cocaine.
A 2000 WND story told how police officers in Lebanon, Tenn., raided the home of 64-year-old John Adams as he was watching television.
After hearing knocking at the door, John's wife, Loriane, went to answer. There was no reply when she asked for identification. As she stood there, the door was kicked in and five officers stormed the house, immediately cuffing Loriane.
John was killed after officers said he came at them with a shotgun and they were forced to fire back. Neighbors said John probably believed the attack was a home invasion. It was later revealed the officers had the wrong house and shot the wrong man.
While Adams' name was on the warrant, the description of Adams' home and the warranted house did not match. The house the officers intended to raid was actually next door.
In 2004, landscape contractor Blair Davis was stunned when he answered the door of his Houston home and he found himself looking down the barrel of a pistol.
The barrel and nearly a dozen others like it – drawn and ready for action – belonged to the more than 10 members of the Harris County Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force. Once inside, the team shouted Davis down to the floor. The reason for the raid was officers thought several ornamental Texas hibiscus plants were marijuana.
Targeting smoke shop
Police raids have even been conducted on Indian reservations. In 2003, a Rhode Island State Police raid on the Narragansett Indian tribe's newly opened tax-free smoke shop turned into a violent melee that sent eight tribal members to the hospital and another seven – including the chief – to jail.
The tobacco shop was opened on tribal land over the objections of the state's governor, Don Carcieri, who deemed the shop illegal.
Footage by a local TV station showed a line of troopers entering the parking lot of the shop pushing their way past resistant tribal members. Fists flew and troopers wrestled tribal leaders to the ground and handcuffed them. At one point, a trooper grabbed a tribal member standing guard outside of the smoke shop by the throat, while Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas grabbed the trooper from behind in a bear hug.
Christian non-profits have not been immune to the military-style tactics by officers. WND noted in 2010 that the Federal Drug Administration spearheaded a raid against Daniel Chapter One, a ministry that supports itself in part by providing health counseling and nutritional supplements.
Jim Feijo, founder of the organization told WND he had no idea why the government raided his offices, but he noted that the raid came Sept. 22, a week after a federal judge refused to allow the FTC to levy a massive fine against Daniel Chapter One for refusing to send a letter to customers saying in effect that their products were worthless.
"They patted Jim down and removed him from the office. They didn't show me a warrant. They came in very aggressively, that was needless," said Tricia Feijo, Jim's wife and partner and a trained homeopath.
"They locked us out of the building and for the next four hours they went through everything. They took personal correspondence, they took phone records. It's so over the top that they're going through personal e-mail to see if I told a friend how to use a certain product, or told somebody what they could do for an illness."
Come to your doctor
In 2008, WND reported an incident involving SWAT members of a Colorado sheriff's department who stormed a family's house and held them at gunpoint to take custody of an 11-year-old for a medical exam sought by social services.
The 11-year-old, Jonathan Shiflett, had suffered bruises while horsing around in a mobile home park near New Castle where the family lives. But his father, Tom Shiflett, refused to allow paramedics who arrived after a neighbor apparently called 911 to treat his son. The father refused to allow the ambulance crew to take Jonathan to a hospital.
Multiple visits by police officers and sheriff's deputies brought the same response, as did a visit from Social Services employees, who reported to court authorities:
"Thomas Shiflett shouted at this worker and advised this worker that if he obtained a court order, he better 'bring an army,'" according to an affidavit filed by Matthew McGaugh, a caseworker for the Garfield County Department of Social Services.
The statement to "bring an army" was the basis for the sheriff's executing a SWAT raid despite a court order simply directing him to search the home and remove the child.
Also in 2008, John and Jackie Stowers, along with their children, were held at gunpoint by a SWAT team while their food supplies were confiscated.
"The Stowerses and their 10 children and grandchildren were detained in one room of their home for six hours while sheriff's officers confiscated 60 boxes of fresh farm food, computers, phones and records, including USDA-certified meat from the children's mini-farm," according to lawyers for the family.
The couple was providing a private food cooperative for their friends and neighbors. However, an undercover agent persuaded the couple to sell him a dozen eggs. After they did so, authorities used the sale as the basis for their raid, claiming they were operating a food store.
I told you this was wrong address
Last year, agents from the BATF conducted a raid on the home of Linda Greigo and threatened her son after entering her home without a warrant while looking for the previous tenant of the home, who had lived there over a year before.
Greigo told WND that after officers broke in they pointed multiple machine pistols with laser sights on her 8-year-old son, Colby.
Officers had previously visited the house in an attempt to locate Angela Hernandez, and each time Greigo informed them that the woman did not live there anymore. She even went so far as to tell them how to locate Hernandez.
"I tell them to contact social services because she is getting government benefits. She is on Section 8 housing, if the state is paying her rent, they should be able to find her," Griego said. "I have even seen her at Wal-Mart all the time. How hard can it be for authorities to track this woman down?"
Despite the helpful tip, officers eventually came to her house and broke in without knocking. On the day of the incident, around 6:30 a.m., Griego was in the shower getting ready for work when she heard a knock on the door.
Dressed only in a towel she answered the door and was violently grabbed and yanked outside where she was pushed up against the house and handcuffed by authorities.
It was only after emptying her purse and seeing her ID they realized she was not the person they were after.

Just a note to total newbies, it's not obvious how to remove the default widgets in the sidebars. On a fresh Wordpress site, when you go to widgets and look in the sidebars, there aren't any, even though several, including BlogRoll show up!
Well, all you have to do is add a new widget, any widget - can be a blank text widget - to each sidebar. Why this happens: WordPress defaults to these widgets.
I felt dumb, but it wasn't intuitively obvious that I needed to add a widget to remove widgets!
Second note on sidebar widgets. I have two sidebars set up at 200px width on each. When you paste 200 px ads (or whatever) in a widget text box, they kind of hang over the right side.
This is because Atahualpa adds "padding" inside the widget container.
It's easy to fix when you know how: Go to Appearance ->Themes-> Atahualpa Theme Options -> sidebars & widgets -> style widgets -> now look at the code for the "widget container" (in my version its the top box). You will see a line that says "padding: 10px;" I changed the "10" to "3" and got my Amazon search box to center.
You also can change the "10px" to "0px" but I read on this forum that you can't insert negative padding.
You can see how it looks at my site Bongotronics Sincerely hope this helps a frustrated newbie. Atahualpa rules!

Despite some unfavorable tax legislation recently, property owners still have some ability to manage federal income taxes. Last month we discussed depreciation expense strategies to maximize savings. This month we will continue down the depreciation path by addressing cost segregation studies and the tax code for Energy Efficient Buildings (EPAct Section 179D). In addition, we'll touch on the Energy Efficient Home Tax Credit (IRC Section 45L). Cost segregation studies examine a building's components to validate a shorter useful life for depreciation, thereby taking larger tax deductions immediately. Items may include floor covering, plumbing, HVAC systems, fixtures and doors. Cost segregation studies examine a building's components to validate a shorter useful life for depreciation, thereby taking larger tax deductions immediately. Although used since the 1960's, it wasn't until commercial building depreciable lives jumped from 19 years (and less in some cases) to 31.5 years and to 39 years that engineering shorter-lived assets out of a building's cost had a real impact to tax-reduction methods. For buildings that have been in service, a cumulative catch-up depreciation deduction can be taken in the year the study is performed. Hence, a building placed in service, or purchased, five years ago can take five years of accelerated depreciation, all in 2013. The study is applicable to all types of business property, and should be coordinated by a tax professional and an engineer. EPAct Section 179D allows for an immediate depreciation tax deduction for the installation of energy efficient retrofits. The actual energy savings requirements depend on the type of retrograde retrofit. If the improvement qualifies, the building owner can claim up to 60 cents per square foot for interior lighting upgrades; 60 cents per square foot for HVAC upgrades; and 60 cents per square foot for building envelope upgrades. These can be combined so it is possible to gain a tax deduction of as much as $1.80 per square foot.

As tax policy tightens, energy strategies reap added tax benefits
IRC Section 45L offers a tax credit of $2,000 per residential unit when constructing or substantially renovating an apartment complex or other dwelling unit, as defined. As with the Section 179D deduction, certain energy savings requirements must be met, documented, and maintained. Furthermore a tax professional should be consulted to ensure compliance with the tax credit requirements. These are just three opportunities for building owners to reduce current federal income tax burdens. All three strategies have been available to the taxpayer for several years. However, with a substantial increase in tax rates, now is the time to reevaluate the impact these IRS opportunities can have on your bottom line.

Design Decisions When Hydrogen Embrittlement Strikes Typically, failure occurs without warning, under stresses well below the yield strength of the material, and within a relatively short time. To avoid hydrogen embrittlement you can use a material that is not susceptible or avoid exposure to hydrogen. By Dave Palmer, Failure aNalysis exPert on an assembly line, high-strength screws are precisely tightened using DC drivers. Once installed, each screw holds more than 6,000 lb of pre-load. After coming off the assembly line, the assembled products are placed in boxes for shipping. Suddenly, inside the shipping boxes, the heads of the screws begin to pop off, one by one. When the boxes are opened, about 10 percent of the screws are found to have failed in this way. The rest of the fasteners are intact. What happened? The scenario described is most likely an example of hydrogen embrittlement. This failure mode can affect fasteners, as well as other metal components. Usually, but not always, the components involved are plated.While most often associated with high-strength carbon and alloy steels, it can also affect other materials, including stainless steels, aluminum, titanium, and copper alloys. Typically, failure occurs without warning, under stresses well below the yield strength of the material, and within a relatively short period (anywhere from a few hours to a week or more).The risk of hydrogen embrittlement can be mitigated by switching to a lower-hardness material, minimizing exposure to hydrogen, or by heating to a temperature that allows the hydrogen to diffuse out. Hydrogen embrittlement can occur when a metal absorbs atomic hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms are small enough to squeeze in between the atoms of the metal. The presence of hydrogen reduces the cohesive force between the metal atoms. This allows the metal to fracture under stresses it would normally be able to withstand. (Exactly what happens at an atomic level continues to be a topic of research and a source of debate among metallurgists, but the decohesion theory I have just explained is one of the most widely held views, as well as being the easiest to explain.) The most common source of hydrogen in metals is electroplating. Acid cleaning processes performed prior to plating, as well as the electroplating process itself, can cause metals to absorb hydrogen. Hydrogen can also be produced during the arc welding process. Galvanic corrosion is another possible source of hydrogen; hydrogen is produced at the cathode (i.e. the more noble of the two metals). Service exposure to strong acids or to hydrogen gas can also introduce hydrogen into the metal. The materials most commonly affected by hydrogen embrittlement are carbon and alloy steels, with hardness above around 35 Rockwell C. Steels with hardness below this value are rarely affected. One widely repeated myth about hydrogen embrittlement is that stainless steels are immune. Actually, precipitation-hardenable and 400-series stainless steels are very susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. It's rare, but not impossible, for hydrogen embrittlement to occur in 300-series stainless steels. The fact that hydrogen embrittlement is not often seen in 300-series stainless steels is partly due to the fact that these steels are seldom plated, and seldom have a hardness above 35 Rockwell C. However, severe cold work (such as cold heading) can produce a hardness this high, which will make the steel subject to embrittlement if exposed to hydrogen. Aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and copper alloys can also be affected by hydrogen embrittlement. Again, the higheststrength alloys are the most susceptible. The best way to avoid hydrogen embrittlement is to use a material that is not susceptible. However, this usually means a lower-strength Dave Palmer is an expert in failure analysis and materials selection. He lives in Waukegan, Illinois, where he works as a metallurgist for a recreational products manufacturer. He holds a BS in Materials Science and Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and is completing his MS thesis at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Just as with Egypt, Syria's "Arab Spring" revolution is looking as though it will end with the creation of a new Islamic state.
On Monday, the more radical of the Islamist factions taking part in Syria's civil war posted a video online in which they declared the northern city of Aleppo to be independent from the regime in Damascus.
"We are the representatives of the fighting formations in Aleppo and we declare our rejection of the conspiratorial project, the so-called national alliance," said the rebels, referring to the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition.
"We have unanimously agreed to urgently establish an Islamic state," the video concluded.
The rebels fear that just as in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere, Western powers are trying to use the Arab Spring to turn Syria into a Western-style democracy that is in line with American and European interests.
But, just as in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere, the West initially underestimated the influence of Islamist groups in Syria and the major role they are playing in the battle against the current dictator.
Across the border in Israel, the concern is that, again like Egypt, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad will simply be replaced by a more radical Islamist ruler.

text: I'm new to this board. I have an almost two year boy that licks and bites his paws. Three of his paws are saliva stained. He's only been with us for about 8 weeks ... rehomed from a breeder. The breeder said he had seasonal allergies. I posted a question on another board about this and Karlin suggested I read up on SM. I don't see any "air scratching" or pain around the neck area. Sometimes he seems to be trying to reach his back paw, his head between his front legs and his body looks curved under, shaking with some yelping. The first time I saw it I thought he was having a seizure. After this happens, his mouth seems to chatter and he licks his mouth. Could this be SM symptoms?

CORNWALL — Santa Claus will have a busy agenda on Dec. 24, but he may not be able to resist spending a little extra time at the Tillmans' home in Cornwall this Christmas Eve.
There, he will find a veritable Santa "shrine" — a collection of hundreds of Santa dolls, figurines and other Saint Nick likenesses that Carol Tillman has avidly collected during the past three decades.
At last count, Tillman had assembled a cheerful legion of more than 500 Santas that she dutifully takes out of warm-weather hibernation each Thanksgiving for display around her home when the window panes start getting frosty.
She tenderly places as many of them as she can on the limited perches she has in her home, including on shelves in her small Moonlit Alpacas retail store off Route 125. It's impossible not to feel the holiday spirit while under the gaze of the many rosy-cheeked, cherubic St. Nicks, each one a little different than the other.
Tillman confesses to being a little incredulous every time she pulls her collection out of mothballs. Even she has a tough time keeping track of where all the jolly men came from.
"It's a question, when you have to move them, you really ask yourself," she said with a chuckle.
But she vividly remembers her first Santa, which she received as a gift when she was 18. It's a German "smoker" — a pipe toting Santa in which one can burn incense.
"That kind of started it, and it went from there," said Tillman.
Each ensuing year, there was no mystery about what was prominently featured on Tillman's Christmas list. She wanted Santas, Santas and more Santas — and her friends and family have dutifully obliged.
Tillman has also picked out her own share of Santas, paying from a few bucks to several hundred dollars for creations that meet her fancy.
ADDISON COUNTY — A group of Addison County clergy and nonprofits are teaming up to offer emergency shelter and food for a growing number of people expected to be homeless and hungry this winter.
Leaders of the Congregational Church of Middlebury confirmed on Monday a portion of the church's historic Charter House on North Pleasant Street will be used to temporarily house as many as three homeless families this winter.
Meanwhile, John W. Graham Emergency Shelter Executive Director Elizabeth Ready announced two new plans to beef up its services to the homeless.
First, the John Graham Shelter will soon reconfigure one of its "family rooms" as an eight-person bunkroom to accommodate single people who would otherwise find themselves out in the cold during the upcoming winter months.
Second, according to Ready, the shelter has received permission to use an Addison County Community Trust home on Washington Street Extension in Middlebury as temporary lodging for one, perhaps two, area families who find themselves without shelter this winter.
"The idea is to have a place for families, as well as individuals," Ready said.
She stressed the ultimate goal will be to make the Washington Street Extension housing transitional in nature. The ultimate goal, Ready said, will be to get homeless individuals the counseling, health services and employment information they need to quickly get them into jobs and permanent housing.
"You can't just put people in a bed and expect things to improve," Ready said.
The Washington Street Extension home has five bedrooms and should be ready for occupants soon, according to Ready. She would not disclose the exact location of the home in order to preserve the anonymity of the people who will reside there.

ADDISON COUNTY — As deadlines for creating budgets for the next school year draw near, the county's public school boards are juggling a slew of challenges as they stitch together barebones spending plans — not least of which are a slumping economy and as yet unknown state tax education rates and per pupil spending allotments.
Add to that list of challenges Act 82, an education funding law, also known as the "two-vote mandate," passed in 2007 and that kicks into effect for the first time this year. Act 82 will force some Vermont school districts to obtain additional voter support for spending increases that exceed the rate of inflation — and that's a hurdle that has some administrators worried.
"There's a difference between an unpopular law and a poorly written one," said Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union Superintendent Bill Mathis in Brandon. "As a piece of law, it's just a clumsy and silly and ineffective mechanism."
Act 82 — which was concocted last year as a compromise between Gov. Jim Douglas, who wanted to cap school spending, and the Democratic leadership in the state Legislature — is expected to come into play directly in about half of the school districts in the state. Budget writers in the other half undoubtedly are keeping the new law in mind as they go about their business, too.
School budgets will be subject to Act 82 if they meet two criteria. First, district spending per student in the previous year must have exceeded the statewide average. Then, if a school board also proposes a spending increase higher than the rate of inflation, that proposed spending plan will appear on ballots as two separate items.
The first item will ask voters to approve what will be referred to on the ballot as the school's "total" budget — that is, last year's spending plan plus inflation.

There are some exceptions. In 1984, for example, the Cubs drew more than 2 million for the first time because of day-of-game sales while the White Sox sold a few more tickets due to advance sales. The 1977 Sox team that White Sox attendance record followed a dreadful season, and the 1978 season drew less than 1977 because it too was a dreadful season, but because of advance sales, it drew almost as much as the 1959 Sox. Bill Veeck insisted at the time that no Chicago baseball team would ever draw 2 million fans because o the weather, but Milwaukee drew 2 million fans in four seasons in the 1950s.
One of the things that held Chicago attendance down for years was a tradition. Before the Reinsdorf group and the Tribune company came into baseball in the 1980s. Both the Cubs and White Sox put 20,000 tickets for sale on game day. At the same time for many of those years, home games and only home games were on Chicago television.
That was both the Wrigley and Comiskey philosophy, and the ownership between Comiskey and Reinsdorf didn't change it. You didn't even get tickets for the bleachers in Old Comiskey in the early 1970s. You paid your dollar and got a slip of paper that you could show the usher if he thought you sneaked in. Chicago fans could no longer depend on getting seats the day of the game (which for the 1984 Cubs involved getting to the park early and waiting in line as they were selling out games with about half of the tickets being sold within a few hours of the game inspiring national news stories with the weekday long lines and sort of triggering the national cult of Wrigley). On one hand it contributed to higher attendance and more no-shows. It is part of the reason that attendnace under the Reinsdorf regime has been consistently higher than it was under the previous regimes. It also changed the culture of watching baseball in Chicago.

I have already babbled on and on about the vibrantly colourful and innovative RGB Wallpaper by Milan studio Carnovsky. Overlapping primary coloured illustrations create a beautiful multicoloured print in everyday light but when a red, green or blue light (RGB colour) is shone upon the room's paper, only one of the three overlapping patterns is visible and the other two are hidden. When I spotted their new installation 'La Selva', I fell in love all over again. Adorning the walls of Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, a café and exhibition space in East London's Shoreditch, the wallpaper takes on a whole new chic look as part of an interior design. Doesn't it look great next to a chalkboard menu? The theme of 'jungle' works brilliantly as its textured vegetation, daunting beasts and exotic creatures create three mesmerizing layers for each colour of light. If you happen to be London, La Selva is on view until September 21st, 2011. It looks like Carnovsky has created limited edition prints as well. Pick me up one please?!

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Spring practice for the Yale football team culminates this Saturday with the annual Spring Game, which is slated for 2:00 p.m. at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field and is open to the public.
The spring game features the Yale roster divided into two teams and a modified scoring system. Touchdowns, field goals and extra points will still be six points, three points and one point respectively. But the offense can also get a point for getting a first down, while the defense gets three points for an interception, two points for a fumble recovery and one point for a stop on downs. There will be four 10-minute quarters.
The Bulldog offense returns junior All-America tailback Mike McLeod (New Britain, Conn.), but there will be a new leader under center with the graduation of quarterback Matt Polhemus (N. Chatham, Mass.). Junior Ryan Fodor (Madison, Conn.) and sophomore Rich Scudellari (Saratoga, Calif.) are scheduled to be the starters Saturday.
"Our goals for the spring game on offense are to give as many players as possible an opportunity to have the ball in their hand and make plays," said Jack Siedlecki, Yale's Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Football. "We have really emphasized the pass game in spring practice and that will continue in the spring game. We will throw the ball more than we run it early on."
The Yale defense is led by junior linebacker Bobby Abare (Acton, Mass.), who was elected captain for next season.
"It has been a great spring," Abare said. "I expect big things from everyone, and I am hoping that the game will be even more intense than it has been in the past."
The Spring Game also brings many alumni back to the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field. The Bulldogs have recently begun naming honorary coaches for the event, and this year Cory Carruthers '99 and Jake Fuller '00 will serve in those roles. Carruthers, a defensive lineman, captained the 1998 team that bounced back from a 1-9 showing the year before to go 6-4, ending with a 9-7 win at Harvard. Fuller, a wide receiver, captained Yale in its 1999 Ivy League championship season that included a 24-21 win over the Crimson.
Also returning to New Haven is Eric Johnson '01, who caught the game-winning touchdown against Harvard in 1999. Johnson has been playing tight end in the NFL since graduating, totaling 48 catches in 14 games with the New Orleans Saints last season. He will help coach Yale's tight ends at the Spring Game.
With the NFL draft taking place Saturday and Sunday, this weekend may also help determine if any Bulldogs join Johnson, head coach Dick Jauron '73 (Buffalo Bills) and tight end Nate Lawrie '04 (Cincinnati Bengals) in the NFL ranks next year. In the past seven years Yale has had four players play in the NFL, including three that were drafted. Four graduating seniors -- defensive lineman Brandt Hollander (Indianapolis, Ind.), tight end Langston Johnson (Los Altos, Calif.), offensive lineman Jeff Monaco (McDonald, Pa.) and defensive back Nick Solakian (Santa Barbara, Calif.) -- recently participated in a pro day at Yale.
The Spring Game is just one part of a busy Saturday at the Yale Bowl complex as well. The Yale men's lacrosse team hosts archrival Harvard at 1:00 p.m. in Reese Stadium and it is also Youth Day, with hundreds of local children out at the Yale facilities to learn from Bulldog student-athletes. The football team is also hosting a junior day for prospective student-athletes.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 9-1 season in which they finished one win short of the Ivy League title. After a pre-season scrimmage at Princeton Aug. 31, Yale opens the 2008 season against Georgetown at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field on Sept. 20.

Mandip Gill talks about the loss of her much-loved cousin
Mandip Gill (Phoebe McQueen)
I'm not usually one to start on a negative note, but this month my family and I lost Alicia, our extremely brave and selfless cousin, to cancer. After an 18-month battle, our very own angel of the north was taken from us.
In the run-up to our loss, my family and I climbed Snowdon, in Wales, in a bid to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust; a trust that provided Alicia and her family with much needed equipment during her hospital stay. The climb was both physically and emotionally hard as none of us took to exercise beforehand. However, we eventually managed it and I would like to thank all those that helped us raise five thousand pounds.
Later this month, along with some of my fellow Hollyoaks castmates, my family and I will be taking part in the Color Run; a five kilometre run where coloured powder covers the participants. It's so exciting that the American running phenomenon is coming to the UK for the very first time. To help publicise this event, the Hollyoaks cast took part in the coolest photo shoot. We all wore white, and I posed for pictures while having coloured powder thrown at me and pretending like it didn't blur my vision one bit.
This year, Color Run has teamed up with Stand Up To Cancer and will see thousands including myself, partake in a 5km run, or… uhem… walk in my case. Similarly to the photo shoot (practise test for my lack of vision) we will start the race in white clothes only to be splashed with coloured powder at every kilometre. Sounds like fun right? The Color Run celebrates happiness, healthiness and individuality which will happen on 21 July in Manchester. Teaming up with Stand Up To Cancer means my family and I can all enjoy the day, celebrate our cousins life (as she would want) and help raise money for charities that are close to our hearts. If you would like to donate money to help other young suffers in times of need, please take a look at Alicia's Memorial Fund at www.aliciaboparai.co.uk
Moving on to something a little lighter… the sticky love triangle in Hollyoaks between Phoebe, George and Vincent. What is going on? Not long after making a celibacy pact, Phoebe and George have betrayed one another by falling for the same guy. Umm… Hello but there are enough hunky men in Hollyoaks to have your own! Unbeknown to Phoebe, Vincent is actually gay and left Nigeria for a life where his sexuality is not frowned upon. In recent months, Nigeria's House of Representatives passed a bill to criminalise same sex marriages. If the bill is to be passed, it carries penalties of up to 14 years in prison. I'm extremely grateful for this current storyline; not only is it tackling issues surrounding relationships and friendships, but it is an issue that's so relevant to today's society. This week we have filmed scenes with tears, laughter and the odd bit of bitching. I hope the audience enjoy watching the storyline pan out just as much as we enjoyed exploring this topic ourselves. I am also excited to hear what the audience thought of Vincent's sexuality revelation.
Talking about sticky, it looks like summer is finally here but 'for how long?' I hear you say. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the sun; I get hot and bothered, it makes me eat heaps of ice-cream and not to mention those terribly unflattering tan lines. I'm more of a factor-50-and-full-sleeves kind of girl. That said, I have enjoyed a spot of shade in a beer garden with my work pals this week and that's where I am about to go now. Factor 50, full sleeves and shades at the ready. Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the rest of the sun. Love from me to you.
In loving memory of Alicia Boparai. As the saying goes, "If love alone could save you, you never would have died."
