Commercial surrogacy has once again captured the attention of the world with the story of baby Gammy, a twin conceived as a result of a commercial surrogacy arrangement between a Thai national (whose family was in significant debt) and an Australian commissioning couple who reportedly offered her $11,700.
When it was discovered baby Gammy had Down Syndrome, the surrogate mother was told to abort. She refused on religious grounds, and was allegedly left to care for the child, without financial support, while his healthy twin sister was taken by the commissioning couple to Australia. Details concerning whether the Australian couple knew of baby Gammy, and the role the agency and others may have played in the events are evolving, but public outrage ensued – and donations for Gammy soon came flooding in.
But what now? As the world grapples with the realities of commercial surrogacy, some lawyers and facilitators of surrogacy arrangements have seized the opportunity to once again advocate that Australia should permit commercial surrogacy. This is an agenda we should question, and a direction we should not take.
Commercial surrogacy is a practice prohibited by the majority of nations that regulate surrogacy. The reasons most often are based upon the view that commercial surrogacy exploits and commodifies women and children, and is against human dignity. However, because a minority of nations have allowed commercial surrogacy to occur, brokers, lawyers and clinics have encouraged people wishing to have children to travel to "realise their dreams".
As a result, significant issues concerning legal parentage, as well as the children's citizenship, have surfaced. Other stories have reflected significant human rights issues abuses, fraud and corruption. These cross both the developing and developed world.
Poor and vulnerable women have been trafficked for use as surrogates for the profit of agents or brokers. Tonya A Collins, the owner of SurroGenesis in California, was sentenced to five years in prison for fraud after taking millions of dollars of client money, supposedly placed in escrow for surrogacy costs. Theresa M Erickson, a California surrogacy lawyer and owner of Conceptual Options, was convicted of being part of a baby-selling ring, which solicited women online to bear children for others, and then sent them to Ukraine to have embryos implanted. When the surrogates were more than four months pregnant, Erickson told them the fictitious parents had backed out, and then "on-sold" the babies for more than $100,000 each..
When suggestions are made regarding the introduction of commercial surrogacy in Australia, I think of those cases. I also think of the words of a Rudy Rupak, founder of Planet Hospital, a medical tourism company that claimed responsibility for the spread of the global surrogacy tourism. Under investigation by the FBI, he said:
Here is a little secret for all of you. There is a lot of treachery and deception in IVF/fertility/surrogacy because there is gobs of money to be made.
We should be cautious, even wary, of lawyers and facilitators who express their "concern" that hundreds of would-be-parents may be left unable to satisfy their longing for a family; and then swiftly suggest we should broaden the "market" to Australian shores.
The law in Australia is clear. All states and the Australian Capital Territory prohibit commercial surrogacy arrangements. NSW, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory also prohibit travelling to other countries to engage in such practices. The Australian government lists such prohibitions in its reports to the United Nations as forming part of our laws against the sale and trafficking of children, and meeting our obligations under international law to this effect. While careful regulation of altruistic surrogacy arrangements allows for an alternative avenue to having a family, and is legal in Australia, introducing money in for-profit arrangements will no doubt place women and children at risk.
While our nation therefore rallies to support baby Gammy and his Thai family, we should also rally to ensure that women and children, beyond this family, are protected from practices that may lead to their exploitation and or commodification. This includes not making Australia a destination country to sit alongside nations such as the Ukraine, India, Russia, or some states in Mexico or the US.
People seeking to form families should be supported, regardless of whether they are in a same-sex or heterosexual relationships – but commercial surrogacy is not the way.

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein: 6th June; Romi's Crime Exposed To Raman
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein 6th June written episode: Mr and Mrs Bhalla ask Simmi about the activities of Romi. Simmi protects him as usual. Ishita thinks that she should not mention anything to Raman, as he is already stressed. They spend the night in the hospital corridor, through a friendly chat.
Also Read: Yeh Hai Mohabbatein: 5th June; Ishita And Raman Suspect Romi As Madhavi Utters His Name (Pics)
In the morning Madhavi comes back to senses. When Ishita meets her, she utters the words 'Romi', 'laptop' and 'MMS'. Ishita comes out of the room and quickly opens Romi's laptop to discover Mihika's video.
Raman comes to Ishita and asks whether Amma has given any clue about Romi. Ishita shows him the video clip and claims that Romi is responsible for the accident.
Raman refuses to believe Ishita's words and asks for proof. Ishita repeats her confrontation with Romi—the brand new white car and Romi's guilty expression at her questions.
Raman completely breaks down when he is compelled to believe that his brother has become a criminal, who has bribed his teacher, crafted a dirty video to spread in the internet and has tried to kill a person!
Raman recovers from the shock soon and declares that he will punish the culprit. Ishita tries to prevent him from taking any hasty decision, but he scolds her and leaves the hospital. He comes to the Bhalla house and madly shouts for Romi. Romi does not pick up his call.
When his parents ask, he explains all the misdeeds of Romi. He also stops Simmi from protecting the criminal. Raman is determined to find out and punish his brother!

Is this a Speckled Wood?
Observed: 1st April 2012 By: ChrisB001
Added: 3rd April 2012
I've checked various websites to confirm identification and they seem to agree that this is a Speckled Wood. However, my Collins Butterfly Guide shows this butterfly to be a much redder colour rather than brown. Is the book wrong?

In southern europe Speckled Wood can be very orange where this one is yellow.
There seems to be some variation (regard by some as separate subspeices) in the UK with species from the south being more orange.
It is not clear to me (mainly because I've not looked into it) whether these are real subspecies or just temperature based variation (those the develop in warmer climes being more orange). No doubt someone will have looked into this.

I know things can turn up anywhere, especially if they can fly, but this may be slightly unusual. The picture was taken by a main road, the other side of which is saltmarsh and on this side is marsh with open water - very few trees of any size about and certainly no woodland. Do these butterflies migrate? I don't think it could have been blown to the site as the weather has be pretty calm lately.
These are predominately Butterflies of shade and are notorious for patrolling woodland paths
They are a good Photographers Butterfly as they will patrol up and down frequently returning to a single staging point , just pop your stool down and wait . Like all Butterflies too they will come down from tree level during the course of the day , afternoons are good to observe when they have fed and make the best of the cooling sun at lower levels
Winds and breezes can bring them some disance or perhaps it as emerged from this site as a recent batch nature is always close to fereshwater

New York Times's Top Comment Ever Is About Canada
The most popular comment of all time in The New York Times has nothing to do with the Big Apple, or even the United States — it's an ode to Canada's greatness.
Comment moderators at the renowned newspaper spend hours poring over nearly 10,000 reader-submitted comments each day.
This year, they decided to round up the site's most popular comments of all time, which happened to be penned by a Calgarian named "Bob," bragging about how awesome Canada is.
The comment was written in response to a 2010 op-ed by columnist Paul Krugman, titled "The Angry Rich." Krugman wrote about anger sweeping through the U.S. over the idea of paying higher taxes.
Bob argued he's delighted to pay higher taxes in Canada, because by paying for two per cent more he enjoys perks such as universal health care, modern infrastructure and public universities.
"To me, its a bargain!" wrote Bob.
To date, the comment has over 7,000 recommendations on the New York Times's website. You can read it in its entirety here.
Go Bob, and Canada!
UPDATE — Jan. 2, 2016: Turns out, "Bob from Calgary" is actually "Bob from Edmonton." Robert Summers, a professor at the University of Alberta, posted the comment on The New York Times' website while visiting Calgary a few years ago. In The Globe And Mail, Summers wrote he was "surprised" by the amount of attention his comment received.

In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the "cat's table" - as far from the Captain's Table as can be - with a ragtag group of "insignificant" adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: one man talks with them about jazz and women, another opens the door to the world of literature. The narrator's elusive, beautiful cousin Emily becomes his confidante, allowing him to see himself "with a distant eye" for the first time, and to feel the first stirring of desire. Another Cat's Table denizen, the shadowy Miss Lasqueti, is perhaps more than what she seems. And very late every night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and his fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever.
As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy's adult years, it tells a spellbinding story - by turns poignant and electrifying - about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.
From the Hardcover edition.

"loved it!"
The characters in this story drew me in and kept me enthralled. What a wild ride!
"Cat's Table"
There is a good reason why this book has won accolades. Listen to it and find out for yourself. Listening to Michael Ondaatje reading this wonderful book is mesmerizing, and as deep as the ocean.
I never wanted it to end. Romantic, captivating, lyrical, haunting. One of the best books I've ever read or heard.
It is hard to know whether it's the author reading his own work, his language or the wonder of the story that makes this book so captivating. On every level it is a wonderful tale of adventure and growth.
I was totally immersed in the story which is a tale of a boy traveling to England on his own. He befriends two other boys on the ship and proceed to have adventures that are both exciting and believable. The adults who influence them on this journey are colorful and beautiful described.
"I couldn't get into this Book - The Cat's Table"
I am really writing this review to myself, so that later, at a differnt time in my life, I may decide to try to listen again.

The Italian Prime Minister insisted that Europe belonged to "citizens, not bankers" and said the only way for the EU to restore the flagging confidence of voters was to move away from the punishing austerity measures of the past and focus on economic growth.
Italy took over the rotating presidency of the European Union this week, and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has vowed to use the six-month term to push for greater flexibility in the EU's fiscal rules to ensure nations can focus on creating jobs as well as slashing budgets.
While the German Chancellor Angela Merkel – a fierce proponent of austerity – has indicated support for a more flexible approach, the Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann provoked Mr Renzi's ire with his comments earlier this week that Italy must first complete reform of its own economy.
"The Bundesbank's task is the fulfilment of its statutory goals – it does not have among its tasks to take part in the Italian political debate," Mr Renzi said. "I respect the Bundesbank and if they want to talk to us they are welcome, but we should all bear in mind that Europe belongs to European citizens, not bankers."
EU leaders are still smarting after European Parliament elections at the end of May brought a surge in support for anti-establishment parties. Voters in many nations punished governments for the austerity policies designed to haul the eurozone out of crisis, but which have sent unemployment soaring and decimated social spending, while returning only sluggish economic growth.
Mr Renzi, who took office in February, was one of the few incumbents not to be humiliated at the polls by eurosceptics. He has seized the opportunity to push for a shift in the EU's policy to focus on more spending to stimulate growth and create jobs, and introduce more time for nations like Italy to meet their budget targets. He has also promised to launch a reform programme for Italy, which is struggling to overhaul its labour market and reduce public debt, which is currently more than 130 per cent of GDP.
"We need a fresh start that should not only be based on economic values," Mr Renzi said. "There is no growth without stability, but there is no stability without growth."
Mr Renzi managed to secure backing for his vision at an EU heads of state summit at the end of June, which focused on nominating the next President of the European Commission. David Cameron had hoped Mr Renzi might prove an ally in his bid to block the nomination of Jean-Claude Juncker, but the Italian premier instead made his support of Mr Juncker conditional on some relaxation of existing budget rules.Reuse content

In my last column, I offered a little cautious praise of France's "inefficient" farming methods, but Prince Charles has taken up the theme with much greater vigour. "Why do so many people nowadays want to go and live and have their holidays in France?" he asked in a speech last week. "They want to make the most of all the inefficiencies of so-called peasant farming life - the wine, the food, the ambience."
It was bold of him to stand up for French farmers just at the moment when the British government is campaigning to cut the European subsidies that make their way of life possible. "Sometimes, nowadays, you get this awful feeling that everything has to be so efficient and relevant that there's no room in life for the things that make it all worthwhile," he said sorrowfully.
This will doubtless be designated in due course as another royal "gaffe", but it is a view that many thousands of British people will share as they spend the summer wandering around French food markets and gazing in wonder at the fresh produce on display. In Britain we have practically forgotten what a greengrocer looks like.
However, before you all decide to move to France, I should point out that, as a foreigner, you do not always get the warmest of welcomes. In my experience, the French tend to have good manners, but these may conceal some quite strong anti-British feelings.
At the end of my recent stay near Condom, in Armagnac country, I was on my way to Toulouse to catch an aeroplane back to England when I had a most vexing encounter with the gendarmerie. Fearful of missing my plane, I was driving too fast and got flagged down by two speed cops, who signalled to me to follow them into the nearest service station.
There, after confiscating my papers, they announced that I could have them back only after paying them €90 in cash. I had plenty of credit cards and English banknotes, but very few euros, having spent most of them in one of those seductive French markets.
But the gendarmes wouldn't take anything but euros in payment of my fine. Was there a cash machine in the service station, I asked one of them. "Non," he replied. Would I be able to get some euros from the garage shop? "I doubt it very much," he said.
So what did he suggest I did in my ghastly predicament? He said he had no idea, but that he would not let me go until I had handed over the €90 in cash. It was up to me how I did it. Then he just folded his arms and stood there to await developments.
I went to the shop and pleaded for help, which they were most reluctant to give. They flatly refused to change my sterling banknotes and declined at first even to give me "cashback" if I were to make a purchase.
But eventually, when it was clear that I might soon become hysterical, the shop manager relented and agreed to debit my credit card and give me the €90 cash. Triumphant, I rushed back to the gendarmes, then sitting complacently in their car, and presented them with the money.
They looked most disappointed, but still hadn't given up hope of making me miss the plane that they knew I was desperate to catch. I could not go without a receipt, they said, and one of them then started filling one in; never have I seen anyone fill in a form so slowly.
The whole process took at least 15 minutes. He examined one side of my driving licence and then the other; took it over to his colleague to let him peruse it, too; and then did the same with the car's log book and any other document he could find. Every now and then he would write a couple of words on the form with excruciating slowness, before proceeding to the next stage of this bizarre ritual.
Occasionally, I would ask timidly if he could please make haste, but he never replied. There is, however, a limit to how long it can take even the most bloody-minded policeman to make out a receipt, and eventually it was done, and I had my papers grudgingly restored to me.
I think I left the gendarmes happy in the conviction that I would now certainly miss my plane, but as it turned out, I didn't. I had to dump my hired car in front of the airport terminal, rather than return it to its car park, but I somehow just made it to the plane on time. I wish I could find a way of letting the brutes know that.

Canadian Military Officer Sentenced To Life For Murders And Rape
A Canadian judge has sentenced Col. Russell Williams to life in prison for two murders and a host of other charges, from breaking and entering to sexual assault.
Williams, a decorated pilot, pleaded guilty Monday to murdering Jessica Lloyd, 27, and Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 38. Evidence in the case included extensive video footage Williams had recorded when he held the women against their will and forced them into sexual acts.
Police had compiled a wealth of forensic evidence against Williams, who commanded Canada's largest air force base. But as an article in the Globe and Mail recounts, investigators collected a DNA sample from the officer before listing the other evidence against him.
Addressing the court Thursday, Williams, 47, wept before his sentence was announced, saying, "I deeply regret what I have done and the harm I know I have caused. I've committed despicable crimes."
The grisly details of the crimes were even more shocking when added to the fact that the man who committed them was once entrusted with flying planes for VIP visitors to Canada — including Queen Elizabeth II.
The CBC has extensive coverage of the trial, including a video interview with Williams, and a biography of the Canadian Air Force officer.
In hearings this week, families of the victims were brought to tears by video recordings of Williams' victims in their final hours. In one recording heard in court Tuesday, Jessica Lloyd asks Williams, "If I die, will you make sure my mom knows that I love her?"
In all, Williams plead guilty to two counts of first-degree murder, two sexual assaults and more than 80 counts of breaking-and-entering the homes of women and young girls. In those crimes, he took hundreds of undergarments — some of which he then wore at home, as photographic evidence in the case showed.
As part of his sentence, Williams would not be eligible for parole for at least 25 years. The Canadian military says he will also be stripped of his medals and pay.

New Braunfels' representative to a regional water resource committee, is fighting San Antonio to keep the Comal Springs flow mg a few more years Hollmig said this week the spring flow probably will drop drastically in the next few years Following a Thursday meeting to discuss a regional water plan. Hollmig said an increasing draw on the Edwards Aquifer w ill mean the end of the springs "The deal I've got right now is (the springs) will be dry in five years if there's no change.'' he said "And if they go dry, they're going to stay dry (or a longtime " Hollmig is fighting to keep the amount of water withdrawn from the aquifer to a minimum. As one of Comal County's representatives to a joint committee of the Edwards Underground Water District and the San Antonio City Council, he is trying to protect the future water supply for the area surrounding San Antonio San Antonio relies on the aquifer as a water supply both for human cun-sumption and to keep the San Antonio River up for tourist business enhancement. The city of some one million people sucks water from under an area between Uvalde and Hays counties. Hollmig said the committee has reached a consensus thai withdrawals from the aquifer should be set at 450,000 acre-feet per year — the amount currently pumped from the aquifer. "That way, the spring (flow) will stay at 75,000 acre feet per •year. They've (spring flow) been about 200,000 acre-feet per year for the past few years," he said. "The question now becomes is the sponsored by the water district and San Antonio, examining regional w ater resources See HOLLMIG, Page JA CRAIG HOLLMIG 75,000 acre feet per year enough to sustain water quality in the river and maintain recreational uses in New Braunfels,'" he said. "I really don't know if it is or not " The New Braunfels businessman said he talked to San Antonio council members and San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros to persuade them to reduce the city's water usage "They say, 'We can't go backwards,' " Hollmig said. "U they were to reduce their withdrawals, that would mean they're going to have to go out and look for water right now. That would mean the people of San Antonio would have to get up in the morning and go out looking for water.'' The committee is charged with developing recommendations for legislation regulating water use in Central Texas.

Russell said The biggest problem we have right now in handling protection in that area is due lo the fact that we don't have enough paid men on the force to offer the needed protection there " said a spokesman with the Cibolo police department who asked not to be identified. Another resident in the subdivision Robert Drake recently moved here from New y ork said Cibolo jjolice often are called in reference to sucpicious characters in the area and that many times a unit never responds And if a unit did it was from Seguin and. you guessed it. it was too late Drake said Mrs Bill Jackson said many residents in th** subdivision feel the neighborhood lias become beseiged by criminals "If you can t even go outside your residence after dark and you know there is no police protection out there, then I believe it's time to move.'' she said The woman s husband followed her statement saying "You invest thousands of dollars on window and door liars and when you leave your See SHOCKED Page JA Soccer dollars Arthur Darling of First Federal Savings & Loan Association in New Braunfels, right, presents a $500 check to Mike Downing, coach of the New Braunfels Blue Thunder select soccer club.

First impressions: It's not like a hotel at all, more a private house belonging to an eccentric old friend. No reception desk; the rooms have no keys, minibars or TVs. Built this year, Moongate is certainly a heady cocktail of architectural styles. The vast wooden sculpture came from a convent in the Philippines, the chairs from the Scala cinema in Kings Cross, a door from Kabul, a window from the Blind Beggar in Whitechapel, a light from the Titanic (or so they say).
What are the rooms like? All seven are individually themed: Swiss, Indian, Moroccan etc. The Empire bedroom and the Venetian master bedroom are the best.
The bathrooms: Take your pick between a Napoleonic bath for two or a modern power shower for six. Most are not en suite.

(fourth part)Mature
But I wanted to cry, too. I wanted to sob and tear pages out of sacred texts and have the pleasure of rejecting someone's touch when they attempted to comfort me. I wanted to have my tears without feeling as though I was letting someone down by being anything less than strong, resolute.
Ava brushed the last of her tears from her puffy face and let out a long, unsteady breath. "We're gonna be fine, Elena."
A lonely stream of blue light wrapped around my wrist. I watched its dark hue dart between my skin and the blue sky of the stained glass. I wanted to leave, to remove myself from the efforts the stained glass was making to involve itself in my anguish, but I found I did not want to move. Something about comforting Ava had drained me of the comfort I would have wished to leave for myself.
This was Peyton's favorite pew, too. When he had still clung to withering wisps of faith, he had sat in this very pew, staring at Jesus' ribs and simultaneously digging his fingernails into his wrists, almost sacrilegious in the placement of his wounds. He, too, had offered up his blood as a sacrifice of atonement, trying to pay for his pain with the crimson trickle of blood down his forearm. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
It was eerie, mourning Peyton in the very place in which he had once sought redemption. Some small portion of my soul feared that this association would damn my heart, too, starving me entirely of whatever hopes I still claimed. I broke these disturbing thoughts by standing and nodding to Ava. "We should leave before anyone finds us."
Ava's emotions had, apparently, shifted from hysterical to nonexistent. She stood, her face devoid of feeling, and followed me wordlessly down the aisle and to the heavy front doors. I leaned my whole body against the door, and it creaked open as I lay my weight on it. "I'll follow you to the car," I told Ava. "Give me a moment."
Ava did not say anything. She merely walked through the door as I held it open for her.

"Out of my way Chloe or I'll hurt you too," Declan warned. I growled at the Brit as Chloe stepped from my grasp.
"I'll like to see you try," she interjected, placing both of her hands on her hips. Declan looked from Chloe to Nikolaus and back, I could tell that he didn't want to hurt her.
"Please Chloe, this Kraut needs to pay for the insult!" That was enough. I stepped in front of Chloe, Nikolaus joined my side.
"Say that again ya' boot licking Tommie! Nikolaus may have insulted your pride but you stooped low by attacking him. Now you insult not only his fatherland but mine! If you want a fight join someone else! Our countries are dead! They along with everything we knew...DEAD!" Declan's eyes widened at me as he spotted the eagle on my arm. He scowled at me and crossed his arms.
"Nazi Dog!" He spat, turning and walking back into the building. Some of the other cyborgs watched, their feelings from the past brought painfully to the surface by Declan's outburst. I sighed and looked to Nikolaus, he nodded. No one was going to insult our homeland, ever!
"Jon?" Chloe said, reminding me to her sudden presence. I spun around to see her eyes upon. "Thank you, but I don't think that was the best way to have handled Delcan. He's bitter about his past, I'm not blaming you but he holds you and Nikolaus responsible for Britain's bombing. I winced, knowing she was not too far from the truth about me.
I said, "Nikolaus, go check on James and Dr. Greenwood." I looked to Chloe, "I have to have a few words with Chloe...alone." He nodded walking through the hole in the wall and disappeared into another room. Softly taking Chloe's hand, I led her into an empty room, devoid of any furniture, and shut the door. We both sat opposite of each other on the soft carpeting.
"Jon...What is it?" I could hear the worry in her voice, after loosing me once I doubted she wanted to lose me again. I gave her a weak, yet false smile.
"You know how bitter Declan is...about his country?" she nodded. "Well I guess I am truly to blame for that. I know that you know hardly anything of my past, except that I was a German soldier." My gaze turned from her, my voice began failing me. "I was actually a Spy for the German army, sent to Britain to relay intell back to the Fatherland. I spent three months in country until that day, the bombing." Chloe's placid face soon became horror struck, but I continued.
"I was supposed to be brought back to Germany before our planes arrived but something must have happened and in the end I was trapped like the rest of the British civilians. I ended up pinned beneath a building due to a bombs explosion. I figured you had the right to know my past, considering it was perpetrated on your country." I shut my eyes and waited for the waves of rage to crash upon me.
Declan pressed his ear against the door listening to every word that Jon said. When the German finished, Declan was beside himself. How could he! Dirty Kraut! I'll kill him, I don't care what the others say! I. WILL. KILL. HIM! The young British marine stood and walked out of the building. He didn't know where he was going or who he was looking for. All he knew was that he was going to find a side that wouldn't question his intentions or insult his homeland. A side that would help him kill Jon and Nikolaus without hesitation.
Declan didn't realize he was in the Aracadia National Park until he looked up. Ever since he could remember the park was always an escape. In summertime the place was lit by old light bulbs that cast a golden glow around the foliage and made the fireflies sparkle and dance. Declan ran his hands through his hair as he collapsed onto a bark bench.
"Chloe...He's one of them! Why can't you see that? Jon is a German for God's sake! He massacred our people after living among us!"
"He's a traitor," a synthesized voice hummed. Declan jumped up and spun around to see a curvy figure step from the tree line. He growled drawing his pistol from it's holster.
"Android!" Declan's muscles tensed as his finger curled around the trigger. The female android held up her hands. One looked like it had been recently replace since there was no synthetic skin covering it's metallic surface.
"Calm yourself Cyborg, I too have been betrayed by Jon." Declan raised an eyebrow. Jon was once with the androids?! Reading his mind the android spoke. "Yes, he was once on our side, fighting against Arweth and his tyrannical rule. Now after leaving out rank, traitorously, he is still hurting others. What did he do to you young Cyborg. Did he insult your intellegance?" She probed, watching Declan's expression. "Your abilities? No, what about your country?" Declan flinched, his face contorting in a momentary expression of pain.
"Ahh, your homeland. Come, sit next to me. I have an offer that might please you." Warily, Declan holstered his pistol and sat next to the android.
"I'm Lilly." She said, her disarming smile luring him in.
"Declan," the brit said.
"So you want Jon dead?" An evil grin grew across both of their faces. Declan sharply nodded.
"Good, I know a few others that feel the same way you do." The young cyborg was amazed as out of thin air, hundreds of androids appeared. All of them had their eyes fixated on the new cyborg. All of them had a inhuman hunger within their gazes. Declan looked to Lilly.
"What do you need from me?" Lilly stood, smiling sweetly at the brit.
"I need an insider who can direct one of my teams to the power plant so we can restore power and then one of my teams needs to infiltrate the base. Arweth needs a taste of the treatment he gave us. Lastly you, me, and a few of my best men are going to pin down the other cyborgs, where you can kill Jon and anyone else you please." Declan nodded resolutely, this was his chance to kill Jon, Nikolaus, and end the war his own way.
No more pacing around and waiting, no more civility or peaceful talking. In one swift move it would be all over. Chloe would be so proud of him, ending the war single handedly with the help of the androids. Plus he would have his revenge on Jon for the atrocities perpetrated upon his country. It would all be over soon.

Even when lavonte David, a lb that was every bit 1st round talent comes within a few picks of our 2nder, why not get Agressive & make a trade? I don't like trading up but when you have a chance at grabbing a guy that'd solve a major problem,you do it.....
Everyone's got their own opinion on our LBs, but no matter what position, you don't adress a area of need on your defense with late round picks,projects,guys that cant stay healthy & their original teams didn't even want them back......eventually you've got to wonder what the hell is going on....Williams is our most talented Lb & he was a total project and still doesn't have a full grasp of the game yet....that says alot about the talen we have back there
The only thing i could see if picking bobby wagner with last pick of rd 1 last yr, but as SLIP said, its hard to say yet on that, becaseu David Wilson will most likely pile up yardage as our starter going forward, but if he ends up injury prone or dosen't do as well as expected, that could be a blunder..
I find it interesting that we've picked as many QB's as we have DE's under Reese. And only ONE guard drafted under Reese. . .do we put away any hopes of picking one of the highly rated ones in the first round or two?
That list is a little disengenuous since it doesn't list picks by order.
It makes sense that the Giants (or any team) drafts more LBers than any other position ... there are more starting LBer positions then any other position on an NFL team (spread offenses aside for a moment).
What that doesn't tell you, is that Reese has only ever drafted one LBer in the first three rounds (his prize rounds) and that guy was a total bust (Sintim).
The point is they try hard to draft well at all positons, but ones that they have no success,they obviously have to keep trying, hence u will see the number of players drafted from that positon add up to more then others..
This list is meaningless with out the average round by position as well. Earlier picks tend to pan out more than late round picks obviously. So if we take 5 LBs from round 4 on and 1 DE in round 1 it doesn't mean we value LBs higher just that the first round pick panned out so we don't need another while those late picks did not pan out so we have to keep searching.

South Africa are pinning their faith in the lower-order batting that has sustained them throughout the summer to complete their first Test series win in England in the post-apartheid era. Either that or a deluge which turns the ground into a quagmire; a 60% chance of showers is forecast for London today.
"We don't think that the series is over," said South Africa's coach Eric Simons after his team finished the fourth day with a paltry lead of 65 and only four wickets remaining. "We have had our backs to the wall before and we have showed up successfully. Hopefully we can do it again."
England received some harsh criticism from The Oval crowd last Thursday as Herschelle Gibbs thrashed them to a first-day close of 362 for four. Over the past three days England have moved within sight of a series-levelling win that had seemed out of the question.
Simons gave them credit. "England handled the pressure really well," he said. "There were two special knocks on Saturday from Marcus Trescothick and Graham Thorpe, and another one from Andrew Flintoff today. We spoke about the dangers of complacency but I really think we dealt with that."
England might be on the verge of a thrilling recovery, and the benefits of that would be certain to spill over into the winter tours to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but the debate over the future of the county game is not about to be stilled.
England's captain, Michael Vaughan, was accused of excuse-mongering after the defeat in the fourth Test at Headingley. Today he has new allies, in the shape of the Cricket Reform Group, which is fronted by two former England captains, Michael Atherton and Bob Willis, and also involves the owner of Saracens rugby club, Nigel Wray, a tax exile in Belgium.
The aims of the Reform Group are hardly new: a transfer of power from the counties to a management board; a reduction in the 18 first-class counties, with the "de-professionalising of a significant part of the county game"; and the introduction of a proper pyramid system of club cricket intended to foster talented amateur players.
What does differ is the possibility that this group, which has called for like-minded people to join forces, will become a coherent opposition voice. It is a long way from that at the moment. The initial release, hastily prepared yesterday on a single sheet of A4, lacking headed notepaper and a specialised email address, smacked of a chat over dinner that had run out of control. But it does possess, in Atherton and Willis, two men who have been among the most persistent critics of England's professional structure.
Mike Soper, chairman of the First Class Forum, took its initial foray seriously. "I have already called for a root-and-branch investigation into the constitution and how the England and Wales Cricket Board is run," he said. "A full investigation is overdue.
"I respect the individual members of the Reform Group but I don't agree with half of what the group has said. I don't agree that there should be a reduction in the number of professional counties but I do think Second XIs should be scrapped. And you could reduce costs by getting rid of half a dozen players from each the 18 counties."
The natural bankruptcy of two of the 18 counties might also produce dividends, allowing two divisions of eight (with promotion reduced to one up, one down) and reducing an arduous county schedule by about 10 playing days a year. But the counties, forever rubbished in high places, remain remarkably resilient. As, yesterday at least, did England.

Williams hopeful Massa can beat the Red Bulls
By Alan Baldwin
MONTREAL (Reuters) - Williams have set Felipe Massa a target of beating at least one of the Red Bulls after an engine problem in qualifying left the Brazilian facing a battle from 15th on the Canadian Grand Prix starting grid.
Massa qualified 17th at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Saturday, while Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas was a strong fourth, but penalties to Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel lifted him up the order.
"It was a fixing within the wastegate mechanism of the turbocharger that failed (for Massa)," said head of performance engineering Rob Smedley. "It will be changed for tomorrow.
"It meant in simple terms that he just didn't have any power. It was very difficult to charge the battery as well with the hybrid system."
Smedley said the part was being replaced for reliability reasons and would not incur any penalty.
Mercedes-powered Williams are third in the constructors' championship but failed to score in the previous round in Monaco and are now only 29 points ahead of fourth-placed Red Bull.
"The hope is that he can get his car in front of the two Red Bull cars," Smedley said. "The number one priority with him tomorrow is to make sure he outscores at least one of their cars to help us increase that gap."
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, last year's winner in Canada, starts ninth with Russian team mate Daniil Kvyat lining up in eighth place. Continued...

Riley- My MotherMature
Jackson remained me of my Mother. The way he was built, athletic. Mommy was built like. That brown hair, Mom had it. She had lots of it. Long locks. The way he talked, diffent every second, she was like that.
My Mother died when I was eleven, on my birthday. I always felt blamed for it. She was in a car wreck on her way to pick up the dress I just had to have… I think if I didn't have to have that dress Julian had told me he loved, I wouldn't have feeling in love with the dress, Mommy would never had gone all the way to town to get it. And my Mother would still be here.
"But MOM! I just have to have it!" I yelled at the top of the stairs, on my eleventh birthday, deeding I have that pink and black dress I had loved.
"RI, just be happy you have a dress." Mommy mumbled, looking in her purse for the keys. "There are some kids who have nothing to where. Now do some pull ups or something, while I go pick up your cake." I rolled my eyes and went into my family home gym. Doing pull ups in a dress was not a new thing for me.
By the time I had done fifth teen, Julian was watching and second counting. His long black hair, straight for occasion of my birthday, coved his befutul green eyes. He was in love with me then, I was sure I was going to marry him. I was even going by his last name. Mrs. Riley Marie Austins. How lovely.
"Hey," He said, walking over to my pull up bar.
"Hi," I managed after twenty. I dropped to the ground, landing like a cat.
He hugged me tightly. He was taller then me. Of course, even at that age I was tiny. I hugged him back.
"Happy Birthday." He said smiling.
"Thanks." I walked out of the gym, down the hallway and into my bed room. I walked over to the mirror and fixed my curls.
We talked for a while, and random crap. Till we herded shouting, and crying.
I was running down the hall to my Fathers study. My Father stood here, hands on the table, bawling. My Grandma stood there, crying. My Aunt crying. Juliennes mom, crying. She grabbed her son, and led him into the hall.
"Riley, go to your room, sweetheart." She said to me. "The party is canceled." She said in between tears. I nodded, and returned to my room. I hared Julian's Mother whispered something to her son.
I sat on the floor of my room confused for hours. Julian never returned. Not till his Mother came to talk to me.
"Riley, threes have been an accident." She said taking her pale hands into mine.
"What?" I asked, my voice shakily.
"Your Mother.." she begin to cry. "Is dead." I gasp and tears filled my eyes.
"This is a sick joke, Marie!" I said crying.
"It's not." She told me how my Mother had gone to get the dress I wanted, and had gotten hit by a truck. She was dead.
And I cried.
At the funnel I though myself on the castake. Juliennes brothers, who where sixteen at the time, had to pick me off and cry me, kicking and screaming for my Mommy. They kept me in the church's children's room for the whole service, think toys would make me happy. Those bastards.
Thinking about my Mother made me think of Julian. And where he lived. And where I could go..
"I'm going to Julian. I'm going to call Julian." I said. And run up the stairs.

Syncrude Canada confirmed it was responding to a fire at its Mildred Lake Upgrader north of Fort McMurray Tuesday afternoon.
"A section of the plant ignited," a Syncrude worker, who did not want to be identified, told Global News. "A line ignited and somehow exploded and shot flames maybe 100 feet in the air, maybe more. It fully engulfed one of the units and is probably melting it right now."
A photo supplied to Global News shows thick, dark smoke billowing up into the sky. In a video posted by MyMcMurray, flames are seen coming from the same site.
EMS transported one person from Syncrude plant to Northern Lights Regional Health Centre in #ymm, in serious but stable condition.
— AHS North Zone (@AHS_NorthZone) March 14, 2017
Late Tuesday afternoon, Syncrude confirmed via Twitter that one employee was injured and taken to hospital and that their family had been notified. Alberta Health Services said emergency medical staff transported one person in serious but stable condition from the Syncrude plant to hospital. Global News learned the worker suffered burns and has been flown to Edmonton.
We can now confirm one injury as result of this incident. The employee was transported to the hospital and family has been notified. (1/2)

The safety of our people is top priority. Our focus is on incident response. Access to site & the area affected has been restricted. (2/2)
— Syncrude Canada Ltd. (@SyncrudeCanada) March 14, 2017
"I heard a pretty good thud and it was just unusual," an oilfield worker, who asked only to be identified as Randy, said. "I looked up and saw this fireball – and black – just engulfed in smoke coming up. You're kind of stunned… It just escalated from there.
"The people up here, they've been through enough already," Randy said. "To see that, it was really devastating."
A contractor, who didn't want to be identified, said his group noticed a strong smell of gas sometime around 1:30 p.m.
"We were in one of the units and there was just a heavy smell of gas that started all of a sudden. One of our guys went to get a gas detector and within seconds, the alarms were going off in the plant site and we were moving to our muster points and passed by a pipe that was spewing a gas of some sort out.
"It smelled a lot like gasoline. It was pretty evident right away that something was going to happen. We started moving and got out of there as fast as we could… We all made it to our muster points and the ground shook."
He said it was only about two or three minutes from when they smelled gas to when the blast occurred.
"We quickly realized that we could feel the wind shift a little bit. I turned around and looked up behind me and there was a fairly large fireball in the air."
Syncrude said the fire started started shortly before 2 p.m.
"The safety of the people at our site is Syncrude's top priority," spokesperson Will Gibson said. "Our focus is on responding to this incident and ensuring people on our site are safe."
Gibson added Syncrude would be conducting its own investigation into what happened, in addition to other independent investigations.
A witness told Global News that, as of 5 p.m., the fire appeared to be out.
"Syncrude Emergency Services and Operations personnel have isolated and controlled a fire that occurred in the Mildred Lake Upgrader this afternoon," the company said in a news release at 6 p.m.
The fire has been isolated/controlled. All Syncrude personnel & contractors are to report for their night shift as per usual. #ymm
— Syncrude Canada Ltd. (@SyncrudeCanada) March 15, 2017
One person who was working on site 15-2 said there are about 1,000 staff on site. He said pumper trucks were putting water on the flames and the smoke had turned from black to white. Busses came in to take workers away.
"Fire trucks from town had come in," Randy said. "It was still a large, active fire and it looked like they were doing well. Everybody was at their emergency assembly areas and it looked like, for the most part, everyone was pretty calm."
"Wood Buffalo RCMP, along with other emergency services, are on scene at an explosion that took place at the Syncrude oil site," Wood Buffalo RCMP said.
"OHS is certainly aware of the fire but our officers aren't on site because, from what I understand, it's still an active fire," said Trent Bancarz, public affairs officer with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety.
RCMP and Alberta Energy Regulator investigators have been dispatched to the site. Highway 63 – the main road to the site – was reduced to one lane at about 2 p.m. RCMP said police were helping evacuate non-essential staff from the site. Shortly before 5:30 p.m., the RCMP said all lanes of Highway 63 had been reopened.
The contractor praised Syncrude's quick response.
"They're number one in the game. They were right on top of it."
He said the work projects were shut down until Monday.
"It's starting to sink in," he said from camp. "I'm a little shaken. Reality is kicking in a bit. It was an ordeal, but we're pretty strong up here. We'll move on."
The Syncrude facility is located roughly 40 kilometres north of Fort McMurray.
The mayor of Wood Buffalo sent a message on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at, or near Syncrude today. Stay forever #YMMStrong. Again, stay Safe. Resilient. Together.
