It's the significance of this Great Escape, through the opinion with the Italian media, and also relating to the end belonging to the championship, while Borriello's goal may very well be on the valuation on the daughter.Initially, the game Conti, rotation, and The Matri several rounds failed to begin anew have the opportunity to experience, Borriello was firmly pressed within the bench.

By 50 percent days ago, Borriello had received "You Wenguan net" interview, inside an interview, Borriello said: I must stay in Juventus which, of course, had been on the lookout for my first goal in Victor Cruz Women Jersey Juventus, I think This wasn't do accurate. "In fact, Borriello really achieved it.It has to be said Borriello a great deal of trouble encountered in past times years, which, first could be the addition of the season, after Louis - Enrique White Roma, Borriello not reuse with the coach, he was at Rome team had even been playing on the ball, not to mention the injuries he intermittently, making him in your difficult situation of this Roma, in your time of a bitter winter break, Juventus 1 million rental fee on loan from Roma Bole Luo, and like the priority of € 8 million buyout Borriello.

Can someone recommend a dining experience not to be missed? I am trying to choose one place for lunch and one for dinner. We are staying at the Inn Above the Tides both Friday and Saturday evening. I usually play it safe and choose either Italian or Steaks/seafood; however, I do truly enjoy Japanese and Thai.
For lunch I'm thinking maybe chowder, oysters, clams....? always love a good seafood sourdough s/w too.
If there are no "must eat" restaurants in Sausalito we will be back and forth from SF Friday and Saturday.

I've noticed, over the past year or so, that there seems to be an obsession with the term "naut" in indie gaming titles these days. Zombie Nauts, Xenonauts, Rigonauts, and even Paranautical Activity are all either currently available or in development, and the rumor mill has spit up other names of upcoming ____nauts games soon to come. I must admit I find this rather curious. Psychonauts (not an indie game) came out in 2005, and was the first use of "naut" in a game title outside of the standard astronaut/cosmonaut terminology of which I'm personally aware. Nothing similarly titled followed on its heels, though, and the game itself, while well-reviewed, did not succeed financially until later re-releases helped it to establish a solid cult following.
Instead, the trend can probably be traced back to the 2009 release of Scribblenauts (also not an indie game) on the Nintendo DS. Since that time, it's come into regular use, and for some reason it's been exclusively applied to indie releases over the past couple of years. Maybe that's because Scribblenauts and Psychonauts both operated in kind of a quirky, cartoonish fashions that had more in common (each in their in their own ways) with the creative gameplay espoused by many indie titles than with the high-end graphics and flashy combat of typical AAA releases. Whatever the reason, developers soon jumped on the back of this particular naming convention and have begun happily applying it to whatever suits them.
The best and most popular of the indie "nauts" titles is 2012's 2-dimensional MOBA Awesomenauts. It intrigues me that there are now, in addition to the slew of lesser games trying to ape a more successful title (which can be found at the feet of every successful franchise, from The Legend of Zelda to Angry Birds ) actually three reasonably successful and totally independent titles that have used this type of name. Not only are these games separated by several years in terms of initial release times, they all came from different developers, display different styles, and fit into different genres. They really have nothing in common other than their similar names, which is somehow all the more maddeningly strange to me. So just for fun here's a quick look at each those big three titles, because, well, [obvious pun redacted]

The Establishment of Memorial Park by the Town of Pelham During the 1920s
In 1920, Pelham's memories of World War I were still raw. A "Roll of Honor" listing those who served and who died stood at the Pelham train station. Plans for the construction of Pelham Memorial High School to honor those who served were well underway. Additionally, Pelham servicemen who had returned from the war were clamoring for the construction of a memorial building that could serve as a social center for veterans.
At about this time, multiple properties on the southern side of Town Hall (the side on which the Richard J. Daronco Townhouse stands), came onto the market. Officials of the Church of the Redeemer in North Pelham moved first and bought the tract at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Harmon Avenue to build a new church building to serve as a more central location for North Pelham and Pelham Heights and to draw worshipers from the fast-growing neighborhood known as Pelhamwood. (The church building built on the site now serves as the Richard J. Daronco Town House, a community center administered by the Town of Pelham.) The Church of the Redeemer reportedly took title to the tract on July 1, 1920.
The Lot to the South of Town Hall
There was a small tract of land between that purchased by The Church of the Redeemer and Town Hall (located at 34 Fifth Avenue) that was not part of the land purchased by the church. The tract was immediately adjacent to Town Hall to its south. Though this tract is on the opposite side of Town Hall from today's Memorial Park, the story of today's Memorial Park cannot be understood without understanding how the Town of Pelham acquired this lot on the opposite side of Town Hall. Today this southern lot accommodates parking for the Village of Pelham police and for Town Hall.
In 1920, the Town Board appointed a committee to arrange for purchase of the lot next to Town Hall, immediately adjoining it to the south. Judge Crawford served on the Committee. The Committee approached the Hewitt Estate, reportedly the landowner. The owner offered the land at the price of $5,000 (about $63,500 in today's dollars).
Pelham's former servicemen were thrilled. They hoped the town would purchase the land, designate it as "Victory Park" in honor of the American victory in World War I, and build a "Victory Memorial Building" on the site to serve as a social center for Pelham veterans.
The proposal to buy the land and designate it as Victory Park was the preferred proposal. The proposal to construct a "Victory Memorial Building" on the land was far more controversial. Some believed that the construction of any such building immediately adjacent to the lovely new Town Hall, of which Pelhamites were justifiably proud, would detract from the lovely building and its setting.
Judge Crawford shocked everyone, however, when he announced that the price of $5,000 for the land was "excessive" and, thus, the town would not purchase the plot. Henry L. Rupert, one of the vestry of the Church of the Redeemer, immediately announced that if the Town of Pelham did not buy the land, the church would "make an effort to get it." It looked like there would be no Victory Park adjacent to Town Hall.
Judge Crawford, it seems, was the main obstacle. He reportedly was adamantly opposed to the construction of any building of any sort next door to Town Hall. Indeed, he told a reporter at the time that "if a memorial building for the ex-service men is to be erected on the site, he [would] not recommend its purchase." Clearly the Judge had no problem with a memorial park on the site. He told the same reporter that if the land were purchased, a cenotaph or "shaft" would be erected -- i.e., a memorial tablet or a memorial monument would be erected.
The threat that the Church of the Redeemer might buy the lot seems to have spurred the Town into action -- that or everything was merely a negotiating ploy. By early January, 1921, a tentative deal for the town to purchase the lot for $4,000 rather than the asking price of $5,000 had been reached. On January 12, a local newspaper reported that the "town board has passed a resolution empowering the supervisor to enter into a contract with the Hewitt estate for the purchase of the lot, approximately one hundred feet square, immediately adjoining the town hall on the south, for the purpose of establishing a memorial park. The price was fixed at $4,000." According to one newspaper account, the Town took title to the lot on February 4, 1921.
Almost immediately, all in Pelham began referring to the newly-acquired south lot as "Memorial Park" rather than "Victory Park." Indeed, pressure mounted for the Town to open the property as a memorial park as promised. For example, at about this time various groups within Pelham were arranging for the Federal government to provide them with captured enemy field pieces from World War I for memorial displays. Indeed, the year before, the War Department had awarded Pelham a German cannon captured at Soissons on July 19, 1918. See Mon., May 30, 2016: The Cannon That Roared: Pelham Sacrifices a Memorial for the Nation's Sake. The cannon was placed next to a flagpole overlooking Roosevelt Field at Pelham Memorial High School when that field was dedicated in 1920. Soon afterward the high school moved the cannon to a less conspicuous location, angering veterans who wanted the cannon moved to a place of prominence in a new Memorial Park. Moreover, in November, 1921, the Pelham Comfort Society announced that "by a special act of congress, a captured German cannon has been awarded to their custody." They further announced that "in all probability" the cannon would be mounted in a new memorial park next to Town Hall or, perhaps, in front of Town Hall.
Grading to level the property began in the early spring of 1922. The local newspaper reported as follows:
"Will Grade Memorial Park.
George T. Cottrell of Third avenue, will begin the grading of the new Memorial Park which adjoins the town hall on the south. This plot was purchased from the Hewitt estate last year by the town and will be put in attractive shape. There were three bidders for the contract; Cottrell, $238; John Roggaveen, $335, and Antony Smith, $398."
This lot was relatively level compared to other nearby properties. Thus, grading did not take long. As one local newspaper reported, by May 26, 1922, "The work of grading the new memorial park adjoining the town hall on the south is almost finished and will be completed by Tuesday [May 30, 1922] provided the weather is favorable."
The Lot to the North of Town Hall, Today's "Memorial Park"
According to news reports, in 1923 the empty lot to the north of and adjacent to Town Hall was owned by Mrs. May Gage of Sixth Avenue in the Village of North Pelham. Town officials began negotiating with Mrs. Gage to purchase that lot as well, thinking that park properties on both sides of Town Hall would offer a beautiful setting for the architectural gem. News reports of the time indicate that the Town envisioned that the lot to the north would simply be a part of (an "extension of") "Memorial Park" -- in effect, merely a continuation of the lot intended as a memorial park on the south side of Town Hall.
The Roaring Twenties were well underway and, by 1923, the real estate market in Pelham already had heated up. Though the property on the north side of Town Hall was the same size as the lot on the south side that had cost the town $4,000 two years before (100 x 100 feet), it took the Town quite some time successfully to negotiate the purchase of the lot to the north for $12,000. In June, 1923, Town Supervisor David Lyon announced publicly that arrangements for purchase of the lot to the north had been completed.
The Town of Pelham was prescient in purchasing the property. Immediately after the arrangements for acquisition had been made public, private developers approached the town and offered $14,000 for the property so they could construct a "high-class" apartment building on the lot. The town refused.
Almost immediately all the Town's focus on the creation of a memorial park shifted from the lot on the south side of Town Hall to the newly-purchased lot of the same size on the north side of Town Hall. At the regular monthly meeting of the Town Board held on Wednesday, July 11, 1923, the Board announced that the lot to the north "will be known as Memorial Park." They further announced that a "tentative scheme . . . calls for a rock garden which will be developed on the sloping bank and the installation of a memorial to the soldiers of the great war bids fair to improve the property in a manner which will be a decided acquisition to the beauty spots of the town." At the same meeting, the board appointed Judge I. Balch Louis as "a committee of one to carry out the work of beautifying the plot."
All talk of of a memorial park on the property south of Town Hall ended precipitously. The extant record does not establish the reason. It may be inferred, however, that the property to the north of Town Hall needed more beautification efforts than the comparatively flat and park-like setting to the south. A large portion of the rear of the property on the north side sloped upward with a major outcropping of uplifted bedrock formed of gneiss and schist that would be extremely difficult to remove. In contrast, the property to the south was relatively flat and park-like and would lend itself to larger gatherings and more flexible uses. Thus, focus seems to have shifted to beautifying the property to the north and converting it into the long-sought "Memorial Park" while developing the property to the south as a lovely lawn adjacent to Town Hall.
Judge Louis promptly announced he would consult a landscape architect and begin work to plant shrubbery and laying sod in the new park. Moreover, on July 27, 1923, the local newspaper announced that Judge Louis was soliciting suggestions for the landscape design of the property. Once again, the paper reported the tentative plan was to develop a rock garden on the sloping portion of the property -- no surprise with the giant bedrock outcropping on the site.
Two weeks later, during the regular monthly meeting of the Town Board held on Wednesday, September 5, 1923, Judge Louis presented a report on beautification of the new Memorial Park together with a landscape plan prepared by "Architect Kirman." For reasons not yet known, the "matter was laid on the table for future consideration." There the matter languished for many, many months.
Indeed, the matter lay dormant for nearly five months. It was resurrected, however, by chance during a Town Board meeting held on Friday, February 1, 1924. That evening the board was scheduled to hold a special meeting on a budget issue that required the presence of the local fire commissioners. Because the fire commissioners were late, the Supervisor asked if anyone had any old business to raise. Judge Louis raised the need to get the Memorial Park project restarted.
Judge Louis told the board that he had approached three "landscape gardeners" for bids to perform the landscape work on the property north of Town Hall. He further noted that he had received only one acceptable response with three blueprints for the landscaping and a bid of $1,200 to do the work. He urged the board to authorize the expenditure and get the project started.
The Supervisor, however, reminded the Board that a property tax levy increase would be necessary to deal with sewer taxes and suggested that it might not be time to tack on an additional expenditure of $1,200. Other members of the Board noted that spread across all taxpayers, the tax levy increase necessary to raise the $1,200 would be minimal. At that moment, the fire commissioners arrived and the Board tabled the matter yet again.
At about this time, it seems, Pelham residents began to complain that the creation of Memorial Park was taking too long. The Board relented and work finally began in earnest. Indeed, in early January, 1924, a local newspaper announced that it was hoped that the work to create the new Memorial Park would be complete in time for a Memorial Day dedication. The story further stated, rather sardonically "This is welcome news as there has been much criticism of the delay in completing or even starting these improvements which were authorized by the town board a year ago."
As one might expect, most of the work on the new park seems to have been done shortly before Memorial Day in May, 1924. On May 15, a local newspaper reported that the previous day workers "were busy all day yesterday grading and clearing off the plot of ground north of the village hall preparatory to the dedicatory services on Memorial Day." Among the work to be performed were plantings of nine maple trees in honor of those who died. Long-time Pelham resident and Chief of the Pelham Manor police, Philip Gargan, donated maple trees growing on a local property he owned. The trees were removed from his property and replanted in the new Memorial Park by Pelham Post No. 50, American Legion, of which Chief Gargan was a member.
Dedication of "Pelham Memorial Park" on Monday, May 26, 1924
Although The Daily Argus of Mount Vernon published a story indicating that "Pelham Memorial Park" was dedicated on Friday, May 30, 1924, the ceremony actually was held, as planned, on Memorial Day (Monday, May 26, 1924). About one thousand people attended the dedication ceremony.
Any Pelhamite who has attended any Memorial Day commemoration in Pelham at any time during the last several generations would recognize the ceremonies that were held the day Pelham Memorial Park was dedicated. Many lined the principal streets of the town as a parade of veterans, officials, organizations, and bands made its way to a grandstand constructed across from the new park. Trolley cars and other traffic were stopped during the course of the parade and ceremony.
A monument with a bronze plaque dedicated to the nine Pelham men who lost their lives during World War I was dedicated. Civil War veteran Major Charles A. Walker removed an American flag draped over the monument to unveil it.
Local groups sang "The Star Spangled Banner," "America," and "Columbia." There were an invocation and a benediction. Lieut. Col. David L'Esperance delivered the main address. His remarks are quoted in full below and, as one would expect, reflect a stirring, passionate, patriotic, and beautiful view of America, its citizens, and their duties. It is well worth reading.
Once the ceremony was over that day, the Town of Pelham had a new park: Pelham Memorial Park.

The owner has placed the price at $5,000. The town had sought to secure it as a memorial park to be known as Victory Park. Realty appraisers regard the price as a fair one and think Mr. Crawford is wrong in calling the price excessive. The property lies next to the lots being purchased by the Church of the Redeemer and Henry L. Rupert, one of the vestry of that church, who is engineering the church deal is authority for the statement that if the town does not purchase it, the church will make an effort to get it.

Get Captured Cannon
The Comfort society has been notified that by a special act of congress, a captured German cannon has been awarded to their custody. The gun will, in all probability, be mounted in the new memorial park next to the town hall or possibly in front of the building, on a concrete base. The committee from the society yesterday decorated the honor roll with evergreen boughs and planted two evergreen trees, one in memory of George Walsh and the other in honor of the memory of Philip Marvel, the two boys for whom the new post of veterans of foreign wars is named. The ladies expect to plant a tree in the memorial park for each of Pelham's gold star veterans.
Tells of Captured Gun
At a weekly meeting of the veterans of the foreign wars, held in the courtroom of the town hall last night, William P. Marvel, of North Pelham, and Corporal George Portland, of 25 Cortlandt street, Mount Vernon, put in their application for membership. The awarding of another captured field piece to Pelham was brought up and this raised the question of the whereabouts of the German cannon which was presented by the war department last year at the dedication of Roosevelt Field at the new high school. One of the members replied, 'I wish to say something about that field piece. The war department stamped it 'captured July 19, 1918 at Soissons.' Now I participated in that battle and I want to tell you that men died defending that gun and men died taking it, so I have a great interest in it, so I have a great interest in it. Had you seen it on the morning of the capture, you would have seen a pile of German and American dead about it. For the past several months it has been hidden, neglected in the rear of the high school building behind a big pile of stones. I do not know in whose custody it is but something ought to be done to insure better treatment of it.' The post will have a regular monthly meeting at the town hall next Monday night. . . ."

"Town Purchases Addition To Memorial Park
Lot 100 ft. By 100 Ft. Adjoining Town Hall On North Purchased At $12,000.00
Offers Of $14,000 Received Since Deal Was Consummated -- To Improve Property
The east side of Fifth Avenue will be enhanced by the addition of another 100 feet devoted to park purposes in the immediate neighborhood of Town Hall. Following an executive session of the Town Board on Tuesday evening, Supervisor David Lyon announced that arrangements had been completed for the purchase of the 100x100-foot plot to the immediate north of the Town Hall on the east side of the avenue. The price is $12,000.
The Town Board for some time has been negotiating with the owner of the property, Mrs. May Gage, of Sixth Avenue, with the intention of purchasing the property and extending Memorial Park. It was only this week that a figure could be agreed upon. It is the plan of the Town Board to have the property graded and improved, to beautify it as was done with the park on the south of the Town Hall.
The town cannot purchase any land excepting for the purpose of a memorial park. The Pelham Comfort Society will entertain a number of disabled war veterans in Memorial Park, late in July. It was expressed at the last regular meeting of the Town Board that a fitting use for Memorial Park should be for functions such as the Comfort Society plans.
Private individuals who wished to acquire the property for the erection of a high-class apartment house have offered a sum considerably higher than that at which the town has acquired it."

Judge I. B. Louis, who has been appointed a committee of one to supervise the beautifying of the four lots, says that he will appreciate suggestions. Next week he will consult a landscape architect and will begin work in planting shrubbery and laying sod. The tentative plan calls for a rock garden which will be developed on the sloping property. A monument will be erected as a memorial to the Pelham men who lost their lives in the World War.
The Town Board bought the property from Mrs. May Gage of Sixth Avenue in June at a price of $12,000 to establish a Memorial Park. As a result of this purchase the town now owns one hundred feet on each side of the town hall."

"Pelham Town Board Has Busy Session
North Pelham, Feb. 4. -- The town board met Friday night for the specific purpose of receiving and approving the budget for the first fire district, but after all the members had arrived and were in session, the fire commissioners had not yet put in an appearance, so Supervisor Lyon suggested that if there was any other business it might be disposed of. . . .
Judge Louis then requested the board to take up a matter that had been dormant for several months and that was his report as a committee on the laying out of the proposed memorial park on the property of the town immediately north of and adjoining the town hall. This was taken up and the supervisor read the report that was presented at the September meeting. In it Judge Louis stated that he had requested three landscape gardeners to submit plans and estimates for laying out the plot 100x100 and had received but one satisfactory answer and suggested that it be accepted. This was shown by blue prints and the cost was $1,200. Judge Louis added that he would include a bronze tablet to be placed in the center suitably inscribed. Supervisor Lyon reminded the board that this year they might do the same with the exception of the sewer taxes, but found that town taxes must be levied and this $1,200 will increase the budget. Judge Menkel stated that it was a small amount to be spread over the entire town and Judge L'Esperance agreed with him. At this juncture the board of fire commissioners entered and the chair suggested that the matter be laid over to the next meeting of the board which takes place Wednesday evening next. This was so ordered. . . ."

Military Parade and Dedication of Bronze Tablet
Large Crowd Witnesses Impressive Ceremony -- Judge L'Esperance Speaks.
Pelham, May 31. -- Pelham paid a glowing tribute to her soldier dead with impressive ceremonies and the unveiling of a monument dedicated to their memory at the Town Park yesterday morning. Major Charles A. Walker, a veteran of the Civil War, pulled aside the American flag which was draped over the monument which had been erected to the memory of nine boys from Pelham who made the supreme sacrifice.
The formal affair was the dedication of the Pelham Memorial Park, which is a plot of ground reserved and dedicated to the soldiers of Pelham who never returned. The monument is a stone one, with a bronze plate, on which is inscribed: 'Hallowed is the Place Where Memories Live -- Dedicated
(Continued On Page Six)
(Continued from Page One.)
by the Town of Pelham in Proud Recognition of Those Who Served.'
There is a gravel walk leading to the monument and around it, planted in a semi-circle are nine trees each with a stone and bronze marker, dedicated to Charles Amato, James S. Brown, Franklin C. Fairchild, Frederick C. Gerloff, Philip F. Hassinger, Ilmani Heine, Robert W. McClain, George Walsh and John . Young. These are the nine boys whose memories Pelham commemorated yesterday.
The ceremonies started with a parade in the morning of the members of the American Legion, the fire and police departments, the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts, the Pelham Manor club, members of the Red Cross, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the school children. Two bands supplied the music for the parade, which passed through the main streets of the town and then stopped at the Town hall, on Fifth avenue, where a grand stand had been erected, across from the Memorial park.
Here the formal dedication of the park and the unveiling of the monument took place. The invocation was by Rev. J. McVickar Haight. Next came the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. Judge I. Balch Louis, master of ceremonies, then made a short introductory address. 'America the Beautiful' was then rendered by the pupils of the Pelham schools and the Scouts. Lieut. Col. David L'Esperance delivered his address. The dedication and unveiling of the monument by Major Walker then took place. Following this 'Columbia' was sung by the school children and benediction was pronounced by Monsignor Francis J. McNichol.
Fifth avenue in Pelham was decorated with American flags and bunting and with the appearance of the sun after many days of rainy weather, the observance of Memorial Day in Pelham was a great success. About 1000 persons watched the dedication of the monument and many others observed the parade along its line of march. Street cars in Pelham were discontinued during the time of the parade and everything was at a standstill while honor was being done to the dead soldiers of the town.
The parade had its line of march through the principal streets of the Pelhams and ended at the reviewing stand on Fifth avenue. In it were veterans of the world war, but Samuel E. Lyon, the only Civil War veteran still residing in North Pelham, was unable to be present. He paid his annual visit to the St. Paul's church, Eastchester, where the Mount Vernon Memorial Day exercises took place.
The majority of marchers in the parade were veterans of recent wars and the old vets with their blue coats and service medals were conspicuously absent. Those in the line of march were I. Balch Louis, Rev. J. McV. Haight, Lieut Col. David L'Esperance, members of the town board, members of the board of trustees, J. Gardiner Minard, commander of the Pelham Post 50, American Legion; Stacy Wood, Boy Scouts of America; Mrs. James MacGregor, Girls Scouts; Mrs. Geofrey Oden, who had four sons in the service during the war led the women of the Pelham Comfort Society, their head was Mrs. E. K. K. Adair; Mrs. J. C. Wilberding, Red Cross contingent; Byron McCloskey, school children; Domenick, of the Italian Society; and members of the fire and police departments, Manor club, Men's club, Pelhamwood association; unattached citizens and organizations of the three villages.
L'Esperance's eloquent address was as follows:
'It is fitting that one day in the year should be set aside for the people of this great country to pause in thoughtful commemoration of the supreme sacrifice paid by its citizens in the maintenance of the republic. A wise and provident legislature has made it possible for the people of the town of Pelham to appropriate from its resources the funds to purchase and dedicate this spot as a soldier's memorial, upon which has been placed a monument whereon appear the names of those men who in the service of their country have given up their lives. I conceive no duty more urgent, no task more grateful, than to be here today and aid in this commemoration.
'For almost one hundred and fifty years the government which the Colonial statesmen founded and for which their soldiers fought has stood the wear and strain. It has repelled foreign foes, it has proved sufficiently compact and elastic to resist the shock of and successfully subdue the mightiest civil convulsion of modern times. It has eliminated slavery and assimilated the freedmen by its laws. It has extended its boundaries far and wide. It has received with open arms the emigrant from every land and conferred upon him the equal rights of citizenship. Its people have enjoyed unparalleled prosperity and grown rich, and it has withstood the corruption which follows in the train of great riches. It has twice in my lifetime sent its soldiers and lent its credit and given of all its moral influence to set free for the conservation of democracy the peoples of other countries.
'This republic has lived and will continue to live because it is built upon a substantial foundation, a constitution and law which guarantee a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, protected by a police arm, its soldiers selected as in this last war by conscription from every village and hamlet in this broad land, whose duty it has always been to protect it against destruction and enforce the mandates of the people; and may I say that because its men are clothed with authority to enforce the laws, and protect their country's integrity and honor, they are not preferred in the performance of this duty. Nor are they entitled to any reward or special merit. This duty is demanded in return for the guarantee of liberty which is extended to them by this constitution.
'I do not agree with those who have said we voted to send the boys to war, and therefore we must vote to prefer them to those who stayed at home, by some special form of emolument for this service. For it was my knowledge that nearly every man, woman and child in this great country made some sacrifice of some kind in the service of the country. In fact, there sits on the platform with me many men and women who either under the banner of the Red Cross, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A., or Comfort societies, gave freely of their time, money and health to add to the comfort or alleviate the sufferings of those who were more fortunate and were able to get into the uniform of either the army, navy or marine corps, and do the actual fighting, and many of them today are suffering from the sacrifices they made, and will continue to suffer under the burden of the oppressive taxation which all must bear, that was occasioned by this frightful conflict.
'It is the knowledge of this duty, my friends, which has made for the continued life of this republic of ours, whose enemies have predicted would not last, and whose friends have sometimes doubted.
'Throughout this great land of ours today, in places like Pelham and in the larger cities and communities, the people are either gathered together as we are or pause individually to commemorate the deeds of their citizens who have paid the supreme sacrifice, and it is well they should, for the examples of fortitude, courage and patriotism that are remembered of them, particularly this day, is what makes for sober thought and reflection upon what the future will provide for the world.
'The Town of Pelham has contributed its share most generously to the history and upbuilding of this republic; its fields were traversed and fought over by the Colonial soldiers during the Revolution. It gave of the lives of its men and women in that conflict and every other war that this country had been involved in. And it is indeed proper today that we should gather together to commemorate the deeds of its citizenry by the dedication on this spot where we and our descendants can forever see and know that its men and women were not ungrateful or unmindful of the great privilege of being citizens of this great republic, and the duty each one owes to conserve it.
'Men and women may differ in their political beliefs and each of the great parties may feel that the affairs of this country would be better administered by their representatives, but no one nor any party would prefer to change its flag upon whose field of blue there rests a star representing each of the great sovereign states of our great republic, not one star of which has been lost or dimmed, emblematic more than ever before, and as we are here gathered under its protecting folds, shoulder to shoulder, and see before us our duties and responsibilities, and as we unveil this tablet upon which appear the names of those brave men whose lives and deeds are among the choicest gifts of God to this great republic, let us take them as a precious legacy for the example and inspiration of coming generations."

In the poster for ''The Swimming Pool,'' a new film by the French director François Ozon, Ludivine Sagnier lies soporifically on a granite patio in a chevron-patterned bikini whose construction clearly did not tax the world's fabric supply. To an American eye, the image seems almost anachronistic for the very reason that Ms. Sagnier isn't spear-fishing in her bare bikini, wrestling felons or competing in an Australian surfing competition.
Elsewhere in popular culture -- or the American sector of it at least -- the bikini has undergone a transition from a symbol of languorous sexuality, as embodied by Ms. Sagnier, to a symbol of tough, bloodletting, physical showmanship.
In movies like ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle,'' and television series like ''Boarding House: North Shore'' on WB and ''Surf Girls'' on MTV, the tiny, triangle-topped bikini is the millennial equivalent of the power suit -- the costume for women who ride 20-foot waves or smash the foreheads of evildoers, thus proving they are just as combative as men.
The shifting cultural meaning of the two-piece bathing suit has not escaped manufacturers. At a trade show in Miami this week, Speedo will introduce a string bikini for the first time in its 75 years. Speedo, which has primarily been known for austere-looking tank suits for women who spend hours perfecting their butterfly stroke, has typically aimed its suits at adults. But its string bikini will be pitched mainly at teenagers.
''People are wanting skimpier cuts than they ever have before,'' said Craig Brommers, Speedo's vice president for marketing. ''At the same time, more girls are active in sports than they ever have been before, and for them wearing a bikini is an issue of empowerment in the sense of 'here is my body -- it is strong and fit.' There is so much more at issue here than merely 'sexiness.' ''Continue reading the main story
Grown-ups who might balk at the thought of teenage girls disporting themselves like so many Heidi Klums will not be pleased to learn that girls are now subjected to a narrower range of choice in swimwear. ''Overall, the bikini has absolutely shrunk in size: it's lower on the back, lower in the front and skimpier on the sides,'' said Maria Barnes, the national sales manager for Roxy, the surf-inspired swimwear company, whose average buyer is 14. This year Roxy featured an unprecedentedly bare, Brazilian-cut bikini, in some part because the company noticed that teenage girls were buying that style from manufacturers who make them for adult women.
The new bare suits arrive when bikini-wearing can still be a fractious issue between adults and the teenagers in their charge. Two months ago, in advance of a class trip to Florida by the seniors of Greenport High School in Greenport, N.Y., three teacher chaperones checked the luggage of all 35 students scheduled to go to make sure none had packed alcohol.
In the search, the chaperones discovered 25 bikinis belonging to nine girls that, the chaperones decided, were too scanty to wear on the trip. The girls objected, and the offending suits were taken to the office of Charles Kozora, the school district superintendent, for a final decision.
''I had to determine how small was too small and how inappropriate was too inappropriate,'' Mr. Kozora said. He banned 12 of the 25 suits, all string bikinis, because, he said, ''the ties allow you to shrink them to any size.''
One student, Catherine Pearce, was prompted to write a passionate condemnation of the decision in the local newspaper, The Suffolk Times. ''I'm not such a naïve little girl that I'm unaware of my own body, my own sexuality, and can't make decisions about what is and is not appropriate for me to wear,'' Ms. Pearce, 18, wrote. ''What exactly was it that they were protecting me from?''
Ms. Pearce's article generated a series of letters to the paper, pro and con. ''A number of girls cried over this,'' Mr. Kozora acknowledged. ''Not all the parents agreed with me, and I realize I made a completely subjective call.''
Catherine's father said, ''My feelings were different from hers.''
(At a senior breakfast a few weeks after what the community began to refer to as Bikinigate, a social studies teacher presented Ms. Pearce with a man's thong bathing suit, which he jokingly said had been confiscated from Mr. Kozora the evening before.)
As it happens, Mr. Kozora's view that string bikinis fall below the line of propriety is hardly unusual. Many summer camps forbid them.
''We require a one-piece or a tankini,'' said Shelley Tager, director of Indian Head, a 63-year-old camp in Honesdale, Pa. ''What kids wear in other environments is their business. The point is, I want camp to feel like camp. It's the one place left in the world where kids still get to be kids.''
At Y.M.C.A. camps in and around New York, no written rules exist regarding swimwear, but campers are taken aside, in a sense for quick therapy, if they are wearing anything judged too revealing.
''We use it as an opportunity to talk to kids about self-esteem,'' explained Maria del Toro, vice president for communications of the Y.M.C.A. of Greater New York. ''If a teenage girl were wearing a string bikini, we'd take her aside and say, 'Why do you feel the need to wear that?' ''
In some cases teenagers say they wear skimpy bikinis because that is what popular culture dictates. Young people often do not distinguish between adults who want to preserve their innocence and adults trying to woo them as viewers of ''Blind Date.'' Rather, all adults exist as a single citizenry of hypocrites.
''Look around you,'' said Julia Romano, a 15-year-old from Park Slope, Brooklyn. ''Look at billboards and television and fashion advertising -- what are we supposed to look like?''
Cynthia Radoczy, the owner of Space Kiddets, a clothing store for children and teenagers in Chelsea, said that most bikinis marketed to teenagers today are string bikinis. ''Parents have concerns,'' Ms. Radoczy said, ''but they'll come in with their kids, and the kids will be persistent, and the parents will get exhausted and cave in.''Continue reading the main story

Dorcy flashlight brightness
LED flashlights are known for their brightness, and because LEDs efficiently convert 90 percent of energy into light, even small flashlights provide enough illumination to find your way in the dark. The brightness of a Dorcy flashlight is measured in lumens, and the greater the figure, the brighter the light. Some Dorcy LED flashlights have adjustable lenses that change the focus and spread of illumination from wide angles to tightly focused spot beams. Always store flashlights with your other safety supplies in case there's a power outage; keeping all this important equipment in a single area.
Choosing a Dorcy flashlight for outdoor use
Every Dorcy flashlight is suitable for outdoor use. Small ones are ideal for around campsites, in tents, and for domestic use. If users intend to hike through the woods during inclement weather, they need durable LED flashlights. When deciding on products, users should look for these features in flashlights for the outdoors:
- Fully waterproof flashlights that float in water and withstand any weather
- Bright-colored devices for camping and hiking, muted hues for hunting
- Tough exteriors that resist damage if dropped
- Adjustable focus choices for providing the ability to vary the beams as needed
Opting for Dorcy rechargeable flashlights or replaceable batteries
It's a tough choice between a Dorcy LED rechargeable flashlight and a Dorcy standard LED option, because both work well and provide good battery life. If people use the lights frequently around the home where there's always power, rechargeable ones save the inconvenience of changing batteries and always keeping an inventory of bulk C batteries. Wall-mounted rechargeable flashlights are convenient choices for emergency use in safety storage areas. If you keep the device in your car or truck for emergencies, or where there's no power, a flashlight using replaceable batteries is optimal.

Client Letters
Recent feedback letters from Loco Mountain clients
Look at some of those fantastic trophies they've gone home with!
|"Being led around by one of Jim's guides, Dave Bunker, I found myself in elk herds every day of the hunt with more than half a dozen opportunities to drop a bull. But I told Dave I'm holding out for a big 6x6. Instead, on the morning of the fifth day and by God's good grace, I dropped this big toad. So hands down, this was the most exciting and exhausting hunt I've ever been on ... Thanks guys!" ... Tom White, Sculptor ... www.tomwhitestudio.com
October 1, 2006
Well, ANOTHER!! hunt with Loco and I brought something home AGAIN!!!! I'm trying to sum up my experience this year so here goes......... 70 degree weather one day, then 3 days later I'm in 10 inches of snow...Crazy? I thought I had hit and lost a big mule deer. Crazy? With the help of prayer and one of your guides,Doug, I found my trophy. Crazy? No. With the help of guide Dave, I had a trophy elk called up to within 22 yards. Crazy? No. I got to experience God's country and feel His presence? Crazy? No.
You have a bunch of guides who are very skilled and also Crazy. No they are Loco. My trip can only be summed up with one word. Crazy. No, Loco. Loco Mountain Outfitters. Once again I have been able to enjoy a Co. hunting trip, do the things I wanted to do, have great food and a place to stay, and be with and meet people who love the outdoors. I'm fixing to go show off my horns from Loco Mountain to my buddies. See ya!!!!!!!!!
Here are some pictures of the lion I killed last January. The pictures were taken in my trophy room. I built that ledge several years ago specifically for this lion whenever I got it. Thanks to Loco Mountain outfitters I now have the lion I have hoped for since I was a boy.
Now I need a nice elk. I hope to realize that dream next October when I once again will be hunting with Loco Mountain outfitters in Colorado.
Hey Jim...
almost got a shot at his buddy, so we both had plenty
of exciting
times. Add in our nice Mulies, and it doesn't
get any better than that!!
Add it all up. It equals one tasty 6 x 6 Bull Elk.
I wanted to let you now how much that we enjoyed our trip with all of you. I am just a regular working guy so when I go on a hunting trip I need to know that my money is well spent. My trip with you was just that.
I was very happy with your accommodations. We were fed well, we had warm comfortable beds and good people to have conversations with. We were treated as we had known everyone for a long time.
The guides that we dealt with Dave, Doug and Mark were great. They made sure they knew what each person was wanting out of their trip and planned every night just what was going to happen for each of us the next day. They never hesitated to get any of us where we needed to have the chance at the game we wanted.
The old saying with any big game hunting (Go where no one else wants to and you will find the animals) they took us there. On top of mountains that most people only dream about or see pictures of.
- Ted C.
Hello Jim
Just wanted to say hello and thank you for a GREAT TRIP. We had a blast.
The hunting was fantastic, the scenery was spectacular and the company was excellent. The folks from JERSEY were a lot of fun and your crew of guides were OUTSTANDING. I am very impressed at how hard your guides work for the hunters, they really do make things happen. A special thank you to MIKE and DOUG for tracking my buck as far as they did. My first elk was really fun, just before dark as the snow was starting to fall at 9000 ft. What a memory. Thank you to Mike and Doug and Terry and Pete, who were fellow hunters who helped recover my elk. It was tough going to get him back to the truck.
My buck was a real team effort, with You, Doug, Jeremy, Pete and Terry all pitching in right at sun down on the LAST DAY of the hunt!!! That was really exciting. Hello and THANK YOU to GEORGE, what a character. Supper time and Story time at the lodge was priceless, absolutely worth every penny. The hunting and scenery were just a bonus. DAVE, JOEL and BLUE were a riot. Ya'll give a whole new meaning to "HUNT LIKE YOU MEAN IT."
KAREN had a lot of fun helping around the lodge and hauling hunters and guides. Thanks for letting her tag along. She is ready to go back.
Hello to all the guys in JERSEY, Hope every body is doing good. It sure was fun.
JIM, I will recommend you to anybody. Thanks again for a great trip. Hope to see you next year. Happy Holidays.

HMRC's criminal investigation powers and safeguards
Updated 4 September 2018

The majority of people in the United Kingdom pay tax due and claim only the credits they're entitled to. But there is a small minority who are determined not to pay tax or who set out to defraud the tax and credit system. At the extreme end, organised criminal gangs make sophisticated attacks on the system itself by making false claims to repayments or tax credits on a massive scale. It's essential this criminal element is effectively investigated and prosecuted. Criminal investigation is an important part of HMRC's overall enforcement strategy.
HMRC's criminal investigation policy.
1. How criminal investigation work is organised
HMRC is responsible for investigating crime involving all of the taxes and other regimes it deals with.
Three directorates in HMRC have staff authorised to use criminal investigation powers:
- Criminal Investigation including Internal Governance
- Specialist Investigations (Road Fuel Testing Unit)
- Risk and Intelligence Service, Intelligence Development & Integration
HMRC is not responsible for criminal prosecutions. The decision whether to bring a criminal prosecution is made by an independent prosecuting authority. In England and Wales this is the Crown Prosecution Service. In Northern Ireland it is the Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland. In Scotland it is the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
Criminal Investigation is responsible for all criminal investigations undertaken by HMRC, where criminal investigation has been determined to be the appropriate response to tax or duty fraud. This section deals mainly with their work. Internal Governance is responsible for undertaking investigations into potentially serious disciplinary and criminal allegations involving HMRC staff.
Specialist Investigations (Road Fuel Testing Unit) is responsible for the detection and disruption of the illicit supply, distribution, sale, storage and misuse of fuel for road vehicles.
Risk and Intelligence Service is responsible for profiling and intelligence work. Risk and Intelligence Service, Intelligence Development and Integration requires the use of criminal investigative powers as part of its criminal intelligence development role.
These are the only areas in HMRC who are authorised to use HMRC's criminal investigation powers. There is a complete separation of civil and criminal investigations. No one in HMRC dealing with civil enquiries such as tax returns, and claims for tax credits can use criminal powers to further these enquiries.
Within HMRC, Criminal and Enforcement Policy (CEP) has oversight of the criminal legislation and powers that are at HMRC's disposal. The application of these powers is subject to review and assurance by an Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Team (ECAT). Each of the directorates using criminal powers also maintains professional standards functions that oversee management assurance of these powers. Together CEP and ECAT and directorate standard functions, work to make sure compliance with the many safeguards that are built into the legislation and associated Codes of Practice.
2. HMRC's criminal investigation powers
Criminals, including organised criminals, seek to attack the UK's tax and duty systems to steal taxpayer's money. To counter this HMRC needs similar criminal investigation powers to those that are available to other law enforcement agencies. In particular it needs powers to:
- apply for orders requiring information to be produced - production orders
- apply for search warrants
- make arrests
- search suspects and premises following arrest
3. Police and Criminal Evidence (PACE)
In England and Wales criminal investigation powers are made available through the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. In Northern Ireland they are made available through the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989.
The Finance Act 2007 amended PACE and the PACE (NI) Order for all HMRC criminal investigations. There are a small number of former Inland Revenue functions for which PACE powers are not available.
The advantage of using PACE is that it provides a set of powers that are designed for use by law enforcement agencies. It means that tax crime is tackled in the same way as other crime.
Not all the powers in PACE are made available to HMRC. For example, HMRC does not take fingerprints, charge or bail suspects. This has to be done by the police.
Some of the powers in PACE are modified for HMRC. For example, a search warrant may allow HMRC to search persons found on the premises without the need for arrest. This allows HMRC to search a bookkeeper who may have evidence in a briefcase or laptop when a company's premises are searched but who is not considered a suspect.
4. Scotland
PACE does not apply in Scotland. The Finance Act 2007 introduced a special set of powers that apply in Scotland within the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Criminal Procedure Scotland Act 1995. These powers address the same areas in PACE.
Following the Cadder Review to assess the rights and safeguards available to persons arrested by the police, the Criminal Procedure (Legal Assistance, Detention and Appeals) (Scotland) Act 2010 was introduced. This act is only applicable to the police.
HMRC has introduced The Criminal Procedure (Legal Assistance, Detention and Appeals) (Scotland) Act 2010 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2011 to extend those rights and safeguards to suspects arrested for HMRC offences.
5. Authorisation to use powers
The criminal investigation powers can be used only by officers who are authorised to use them. An authorised officer is an officer of HMRC appropriately trained and engaged on operational duties in Criminal Investigation including Internal Governance, Specialist Investigations (Road Fuel Testing Unit), Risk and Intelligence Service, Intelligence Development and Integration Directorates.
PACE provides that some powers can be exercised only by police constables of a particular rank. When those powers are applied to HMRC the police ranks are converted to HMRC grades of an equivalent authority:
- Sergeant = Officer
- Inspector = Higher Officer
- Chief Inspector = Higher Officer
- Superintendent = Senior Officer
6. Authority levels
HMRC has set internal authorisation levels requiring an authorised officer to get the approval of a higher graded officer before using certain powers. The authority levels for HMRC are set no lower than the authority levels in the police, the primary user of PACE powers. However in most cases HMRC has set the main authority level required at a minimum of Senior Officer grade, for example, applications to a magistrate or court for a production order or search warrant. The majority of authorities in the police service are held at Inspector level, equivalent to HMRC's Higher Officer grade.
7. Arrest
The approximate numbers of officers in HMRC who have powers of arrest are:
- 1570 in Criminal Investigation including Internal Governance
- 118 in Specialist Investigations (Road Fuel Testing Unit)
These powers can be used only for HMRC offences. They are not general powers of arrest. As with all of HMRC's criminal investigation powers arrests are made only by trained, authorised officers.
These powers can be used only for HMRC offences. They are not general powers of arrest.
8. Cross-border investigations
It's usually evident early on in a criminal investigation that the investigation may need evidence to be gathered in different parts of the UK. This means it's necessary to take account of the differences between the legal systems in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In particular there are significant differences between the legal system in Scotland and those in other parts of the UK.
HMRC's criminal investigation powers can be exercised in all parts of the UK. For example, a search warrant issued by a court in Scotland can be exercised in England if it is endorsed by an English court and vice versa.
Cross border powers contained in the Finance Act 2007 only apply to UK borders and not EU or international borders.
Internationally the UK has made a number of mutual legal assistance agreements with other countries. These allow HMRC to ask for evidence to be gathered in another country. Other countries may make similar requests of HMRC.
It may be possible to prosecute an offence in more than one part of the UK. The prosecuting authorities have a system in place to determine in which UK country the offence is prosecuted. This is available through the CPS website.
9. Intrusive surveillance
For cases of serious crime, HMRC can apply to use the intrusive surveillance powers in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) and the Police Act 1997. The most significant powers are:
- the interception of post and telecommunications
- intrusive surveillance
- property interference
These powers are very effective in the fight against serious and organised crime. But because they are so intrusive their use is subject to strict safeguards.
They can be used only when investigating serious crime. The interception of communications has to be approved personally by the Home Secretary. The use of this power is overseen by the independent Interception of Communications Commissioner.
The most intrusive surveillance requires prior approval of a surveillance commissioner. The role of the surveillance commissioner includes reviewing and overseeing all other cases of intrusive surveillance. The surveillance commissioner may also revoke any authorisation.
The use of these powers has to be approved at the highest levels in Criminal Investigation. Only certain members of the senior management team can approve applications for the use of any of these powers.
10. Training and support given to HMRC officers
An officer must be properly trained before they can be authorised to use any of the criminal investigation powers and that training must be kept up to date.
The training covers the PACE Codes of Practice and the Scottish Powers, changes to the relevant legislation and HMRC policy and procedures. The broad range of subjects covered include:
- entry, search and seizure powers
- powers of arrest
- cautioning and interviews
- the law of evidence
- personal safety and the use of handcuffs
- responsibilities for disclosure under the Criminal Procedures and Investigation Act 1996
Comprehensive operating procedures are provided in internal guidance. Investigators can also ask for the advice of HMRC criminal lawyers. A HMRC lawyer will be assigned to work on the larger investigations. Investigators and HMRC lawyers will also consult with the prosecuting authorities at an early stage on major prosecutions.
11. Safeguards on the use of HMRC's criminal investigation powers
There are numerous statutory and non-statutory safeguards on HMRC's use of its criminal investigation powers.
HMRC's criminal investigation powers are used only in its criminal work and are not used in civil investigations or other HMRC activities.
HMRC is not responsible for prosecuting the crimes it investigates. The decision whether or not to prosecute is taken by the relevant independent prosecuting authority.
Like all other aspects of HMRC's work criminal investigation is subject to review by HMRC's Internal Audit directorate.
External oversight is provided by the HM Inspectors of Constabulary, the Scottish and Northern Ireland inspectors and the National Audit Office. Complaints can be made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, the Ombudsman and the Adjudicator.
Many of the powers require external independent approval before they can be used. The person granting approval has to be satisfied that the relevant conditions are met. Production orders and search warrants have to be issued by a magistrate or a judge. The use of intrusive surveillance powers is subject to external approval at the highest level as described in the section on intrusive surveillance.
12. Personal information charter
HMRC knows how important it is to protect customers' privacy and to comply with the Data Protection Act 2018. As such, we will not give your information to anyone, including government departments and their agencies, local authorities, the police or any other public or private sector bodies, unless we have lawful authority to do so.

- news reports
- internet sites
- Companies House and land registry records
- blogs and social networking sites where no privacy settings have been applied
