The authorized Dusty Springfield biography portrays Dusty’s life as one long, often sad if occasionally and curiously joyous, car crash of a life, a redemptive turn coming late in the game but almost too late. Well, singing and - as the biography seems to insist - throwing food.Given all of this, her tangled, chaotic life story and her alienation from a public that at different times embraced her and forgot her, one can well imagine that the notion of an elsewhere, a more real other place, a place where something vaguely related to freedom could be experienced would prove a potent concept to Dusty. If children are forever off in some land of their own making, those adults who believe they have left some crucial part of themselves in childhood - and Dusty was unequivocal in thinking this - will often return to those landscapes of childhood for a lost object, will often become involved in transport as a way of life.

Array-ne I love voting. But, the best part is that I have the right to say what I want to fix, and pick the person I want to fix them. As the last two Presidential elections have shown there are serious holes in our voting system, I am not going to argue about that here. And not just in Presidential elections either, our votes in local politics are equally, if not more important.There were so many people who came before me that fought for my right to vote. I love voting.

Dear Sis~ A death warrant has been signed for Rob Lovitt; his execution date is set for November 30th. You may recall that about 4 months ago, a few hours before his execution, Rob received a last minute stay of execution from the US Supreme Court. The Court had just gone into its regular 3-month summer recess and a single Justice granted Rob a temporary stay until the Court reconvened in October. At that time the Court would decide whether to actually hear his case (this is the case where the clerk of the court deliberately destroyed all of the evidence right after Rob’s trial). Well, when the Court reconvened last month they entered an order declining to hear his case and dissolving the stay of execution. So, right now there’s nothing standing between Rob and the executiuoner, other than the exceptionally slim possibility that Governor Warner might grant him clemency. Warner has not granted anyone clemency during his four years in office, and there were several deserving cases during that time, so I have no reason to believe that he’ll do anything different with Rob. Still, there’s a gubernatorial election next Tuesday, and Warner, who by law cannot run again, is on his way out. He’ll still technically be governor on november 30th, when Rob is scheduled to die, but the new governor will already be elected, though not sworn in. So, for Warner, there would be no political downside if he chose to grant clemency on his way out the door. On the other hand, it’s well known that Warner has higher political ambitions, including the White House. So, I can’t see him doing it, not in this day and age when it’s political suicide (or so politicians think) to do anything that will allow a future opponent to label them as soft on crime.You know, the odd thing about clemency is that in the old days, back in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s, governors commonly granted clemency. Democrats and Republicans both, even in the conservative deep south, were not afraid to exercise their executive clemency powers. When you go through the records you’re surprised at how often clemency was granted, and by whom. The governors took their responsibility seriously, recognizing their role as the final check against injustice, and they were not cowed by a perceived public clamor for execution. The general public, in fact, was much less bloodthirsty, and considerably more understanding and compassionate than today’s public. Nowadays everyone howls for blood, drowning out the few voices calling for compassion and mercy (Shakespeare declared that mercy is nobilitys true badge”). This nation was born in, and forged by, violence and blood, so I guess our proclivity for carnage, our yearning for bloodletting, should not surprise me.Well, tonight I enjoyed watching the Miami Hurricanes (ranked #5 in the nation) defeat Virginia Tech (ranked #3) in Blacksburg, Virginia. All of the ESPN commentators had, up until the game, blithely assumed that Virginia Tech would win, and were loudly presuming that Virginia Tech would finish the season undefeated and possibly contend for the national title against USC. Well, the Hurricanes completely dominated Virginia Tech, handing them a first class ass whipping. When the new poll comes out on Monday, Miami will probably be ranked #3 and now they have a shot at the title game, if either USC or Texas loses one of their remaining games. Alright, Sis, its way past midnight and Im gonna hit the hay. Give little Harley a pat on the head and a tummy rub! Hes a great looking little puppy and youre lucky to have him! Love & Peace, Bill*******************************Comment from Bills sister:Tim Kaine, Democrat, was elected Governor of Commonwealth of Virginia yesterday.

But the chance of the President of the Idaho State Society being from Oregon were even slimmer, and he was.At this point we had talked to a few other people that were there and none of them were from Idaho. I learned the home state of all of those people, and only sixteen and half of them were from Idaho. The half being a guy who told me he was from Idaho, but after a little interrogation I learned that he moved to Idaho from Florida.

California Golden Bear Football News: Contra Costa Times: Tedford: Lynch progressing fine

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Array And, as if there’s already not enough pressure on Ayoob, Cal’s pass defense last night was horrendous. After Ayoob completed only 13-of-39 passes and had two passes intercepted the fourth quarter in an upset loss to Oregon State at Memorial Stadium last Saturday, Ayoob became the easy target of Cal critics and we’re not just talking about the well-chronicled man and woman in their "40s and 50s" Then somebody with a computer and no life launched a campaign on the Internet to get Cal coach Jeff Tedford to bench Ayoob. The Bears coach handed his junior quarterback dozens of e-mails from Cal fans that offered support for Ayoob. Tedford also designated Ayoob as one of Cal’s four game-day captains last night. Ayoob is quarterbacking a Cal offense that usually runs out of the I-formation and lately has been running on spare tires. So Tedford tried playing conservatively on offense, calling short, quick, high-percentage, confidence-building pass plays for Ayoob, waiting for the right moment to take a chance with him. Ayoob unleashed a perfectly thrown pass to tight end David Gray in the left corner of the south endzone as Cal took the lead for the first time in the game.
link

 Had Cal not scored twice in the last five minutes Saturday night to defeat Washington State 42-38 and end a two-game losing streak, this bye week would have left a noticeable strain on Tedford and Cal’s season.  Another reason for optimism: Tedford expects to have four starters back at full health for Oregon: wide receivers Robert Jordan (collarbone) and DeSean Jackson (shoulder separation), offensive tackle Ryan O’Callaghan (concussion), and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (sprained ankle).  The Cal coach covered a variety of subjects Tuesday, beginning with his defense of cornerbacks Daymeion Hughes and Tim Mixon, the prime targets of the Cougars’ Alex Brink, who passed for 423 yards Saturday. Tedford said the biggest play that went unnoticed Saturday was Hughes missing a diving tackle on Hill on an 80-yard pass play, then getting up and chasing down Hill at the 6.  But Tedford then added that safety Harrison Smith will rotate in at corner, his previous position at Cal, from now on.  The coached praised defensive ends Nu’u Tafisi and Phillip Mbakogu for the late-game pressure they put on Brink as Cal rallied.

-ne With Injuries Galore, Bears Attempt to Use Week Off to Recuperate By BARRY KELLY Daily Cal Staff Writer Currently enjoying a bye in its schedule after eight straight weeks of football games, Cal seems to be welcoming the week off with open arms-that is, arms as open as the team’s plague of injuries will allow.  Longshore, who broke his left fibula in the first half of the Bears’ first game of the year against Sacramento State, is expected to miss the rest of his redshirt freshman campaign, although Tedford said he has started to throw the ball at practice. The game against the Wildcats was Cameron’s first back after missing two in a row while recovering from a concussion he suffered against Washington in the second game of the season.  At tailback, sophomore Marshawn Lynch, the Bears’ offensive centerpiece, broke the little finger of his left hand against Washington and missed two and a half games. With other key players missing games on defense-most notably tackle Brandon Mebane and end Tosh Lupoi-Tedford said the number of injuries his players have suffered this season has been unusual.
link

-ne CAL NOTEBOOK Bruce Adams, Chronicle Staff Writer Coach Jeff Tedford says Marshawn Lynch is still learning how to handle the burden of being an every-down running back.  At the beginning of the season, coaches said Lynch’s biggest challenge would be making the transition to starting tailback after an excellent freshman year backing up J.J. Tedford said. Tedford said.  Then, in the loss to Oregon State, Tedford sat Lynch on the bench in the second half after he fumbled twice in the first half. Tedford said. Tedford said, acknowledging that in addition to the broken finger Lynch had "a couple other things earlier in the season that were hindering him a little bit." Tedford said, referring to his latest missing regulars. Tedford said. Tedford said he was "not sure" Tepper has said he’s likely to return this season, but Tedford said, "I don’t think that’s possible." Tedford said.  Ayoob keeps learning: Tedford repeatedly has said that quarterback Joe Ayoob needed to throw the ball with "more authority." Tedford said.

Coach praises tailback, who has put up solid numbers despite injuries Cal football notebook BERKELEY — Although Cal sophomore tailback Marshawn Lynch didn’t develop into a Heisman Trophy candidate as some expected, coach Jeff Tedford said he has made some very positive strides. "He only played a quarter against Washington before getting hurt (breaking a bone in his left hand) and he missed two games after that. Tedford said that Lynch went outside the blocking scheme on his first return, which he brought back to the 35-yard line. Way to go, Joe Tedford said quarterback Joe Ayoob might be making mistakes on the field, but that the junior has earned his respect. Tedford said Jordan went through pregame drills against Washington State even though he was in extreme pain. Although Cal junior offensive tackle Andrew Cameron, who is out with a torn ACL in his knee, has said that he might not play his senior season due to recurring injuries, Tedford said he probably needs some time to figure out his future. Passing the test Tedford said he was so emotional after the victory over Washington State because of everything that the Bears faced. End run Tedford noticed that some of Cal’s fans were leaving early in the fourth quarter before the Bears rallied for two touchdowns to beat Washington State.

Array There is even a channel that shows the 80’s TV show “Small Wonder”, dubbed in Tamil (about Vicki, the precocious little girl who is actually a robot, built by her dad – There is however a channel based in Australia called Pogo that frequently shows English language programming. They also show this weird silent-movie style hidden camera show called “Just for Laughs Gags” then they show a computer generated beetle trying to lift a barbell, etc. UPDATE: So far I’ve only had time to tune into one episode of each show, but those times can only be described as near-religious experiences. In the episode of ALF I saw, ALF was feeling guilty because the Tanner family takes care of him all the time and in return all he does is cause trouble, corrupt their children and try to eat their cat. Naturally power goes to Gilligan’s head until a dream sequence shows him the error of his ways. I found it to be a surprisingly intelligent, socially conscious episode (not that I don’t expect that from Gilligan’s Island every week). I couldn’t help but think that if I were a High School teacher, I would probably show that episode during my unit on Latin America. Then I would probably show that episode of ALF right after that.

Journal 31: Defiance!Completed: 3.26.7………………………………………………………………………….………….………..3.21.7Bush: Rove, Miers Should Testify Privately Over Attorney FiringsSetting up a possible legal showdown, a testy Bush vowed he would go to court to rebuff congressional orders dragging White House members up there to score political points.Tuesday, March 20, 2007Experience more news:By Thomas Ferraro and Tabassum ZakariaWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House and Congress clashed on Tuesday over President George W. Bush’s power to keep close advisers like Karl Rove from testifying under oath about the firing of U.S. prosecutors.Setting up a possible legal showdown, a testy Bush vowed he would go to court to rebuff congressional orders dragging White House members up there to score political points during what he described as show trials.Absolutely, I hope the Democrats choose not to do that. … We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition, Bush said at the White House. He also offered fresh confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose resignation has been demanded by Democrats and some Republicans.Recent disclosures about the firings of eight U.S. attorneys has ignited a firestorm over whether the prosecutors were pushed out for political reasons and prompted calls for Gonzales to resign.The White House earlier on Tuesday offered to make Rove available to congressional investigators probing the firings but rejected Democratic demands he testify under oath.Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, rejected the offer after discussing it with White House counsel Fred Fielding.I don’t accept his offer. It is not constructive and it is not helpful to be telling the Senate how to do our investigation, or to prejudge its outcome, he said.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, denounced it as well, charging the administration has offered a bunch of different stories about why the prosecutors were fired last year.Congress and the American people deserve a straight answer, Reid said. If Karl Rove plans to tell the truth, he has nothing to fear from being under oath like any other witness.SUBPOENAS CONSIDEREDDemocrats described Fieldings offer as unsatisfactory, saying they want the witnesses under oath. But they also said they would consider it before formally responding.”It is sort of giving us the opportunity to talk to them, but not giving us the opportunity to get to the bottom of what really happened here,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat. “In that way, it is a pretty clever proposal.”"We are considering that option, but not for closing any other option, including compelling testimony via subpoena,” Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez of California said.Sanchezs Judiciary subcommittee plans to vote on Wednesday on whether to authorize subpoenas of Rove and four other past and present administration members, including former White House counsel Harriet Miers. Miers initially was blamed for coming up with the idea of firing all 93 U.S. attorneys after Bushs re-election in 2004.The Senate Judiciary Committee is to vote to authorize subpoenas on Thursday. It is particularly interested in Rove because his former aide was named to replace one of the prosecutors fired last year.Fielding also offered Miers, deputy White House counsel William Kelley and political adviser Scott Jennings.Critics charge the administration dismissed the prosecutors to make room for its allies or because it felt some were too tough on Republicans and not tough enough on Democrats.Recently released documents showed the prosecutors were judged on such factors as their effectiveness as well as their loyalty to the administration and support of its initiatives.(Additional reporting by Caren Bohan and Steve Holland)…………………………………………………………………………………………….In the News:Panda droppings are being turned into paper, now!http://www.heptune.com/geosong.htmlHeptuneSongs Of Geology, And Other Science-Related Jokes, & HumorSince there are coupons on milk cartons, there will now, be pictures of DEADBEAT PARENTS on pizza boxes!

To all our ministry friends,Ben is headed to Africa on May 31 and return on July 3.While there, Ben will meet up with Rich Richardson from Columbia and Otto Helweg to gather information as to the feasibility of the World Water Alliance Life Center. Each Life Center will consist of a water purification plant to manufacture and sell water at a vastly reduced price from norm. In addition, each Life Center will set up a bakery to manufacture products for sale using the ovens developed at the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology. And finally, the life center can be expanded to include other types of training, teaching, and loving opportunities, all with the total goal of sharing Jesus and His incredible love in as many ways as possible.

This morning we were joking around at Jakob’s Brit Milah (Bris/Circumcision) and I was mimicking Sean, who was trying to suck on his thumb. I have Sean (5 months old on Monday). Sean fit into it, though a little small for it (it’s meant for 9-24 months, but really, this was the ONLY thing I could find). Because Sean loves the snuggli, but hates that he HAS to face me, (He’s sooo curious of the world around him), I got one that I can wear him facing outwards. Sean sees his doctor again at 6 and a half months old, so I’ll ask her again next appointment, to double check 6 months is the correct answer.And we were in the pool for over an hour today, and wrinkly everything is what was the results! I just loved Sean’s feet all wrinkly, double-y cute!No fun mail to speak of today, and still no IK magazine. (Ok, maybe a little house work and chores and a little photo editing work (paid work!) Sunday we have Jamie’s baseball game in the middle of the afternoon, and since I know people going, I’m going to go check out the game with Sean. I gotta remember to put my camping chair in my trunk.I did knit a few rows in Sean’s blankie today, but no finished square.

Flatbush Gardener: Update: BBG’s Titan Arum peak bloom is imminent, or “Happy Corpse Flower Day!”

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Array The problem has been analysed frequently since then, for example by Pat Niner eight years ago (The provision and condition of local authority Gypsy/Traveller sites in England, ODPM, October 2002), but a comprehensive solution must await the completion by local housing authorities of the Gypsy and Traveller accommodation needs assessments required by S 225 of the Housing Act 2004, and the subsequent formulation of local development documents under the Planning Act 2004 specifying the areas which are to be used for the purpose of providing that accommodation. In the case of BATH & NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL, Claimant, and EILEEN CONNORS & Ors, Defendant, ([2006] EWHC 1595 (QB), Case No: TLQ/06/0321), decided in the High Court on July 5, 2006, the order for removal from the land in question of all caravans, sheds and portable toilets stationed thereon within three months, sought by the claimant was granted, but suspended for four months, and Mr Justice Tugendhat said that interference with the Article 8 rights of the Defendants and their families which would be involved in their being required to leave the site would not be proportionate unless and until this court were able to conclude that specific alternative provision had been made for their needs which the court considered to be sufficient to satisfy that condition, and that if this had not happened, the defendants could make a further application for the suspension of the order.In this judgement, Mr Justice Tugendhat made detailed reference to Circular 1/06, which provides that where there is clear and immediate need, for instance evidenced through the presence of significant numbers of unauthorised encampments or developments, local planning authorities should bring forward DPDs containing site allocations in advance of regional consideration of pitch numbers, and completion of the new GTAAs.

-ne From today’s Augusta Chronicle:If U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has his way, construction of a mixed-oxide, or MOX, plant at Savannah River Site will begin before the end of the year.”History will judge us poorly if we let this moment pass,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told the attendees at the luncheon.The need for MOX is greater today than the day we awarded the project, said the South Carolina Republican, who spoke Wednesday at the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce meeting.The MOX project would convert at least 34 metric tons of plutonium into reactor fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.Congress is divided over funding for the project.
