Did Bush Watch the Torture Tapes?
By Scott Horton, Harper's
The Times (London) Washington correspondent, Sarah Baxter, reporting with a summary of the developments in the case involving the CIA's destruction of recordings of the treatment of Abu Zabaydah, points to the growing belief in Washington that President Bush viewed the torture tapes. Baxter reports:
It emerged yesterday that the CIA had misled members of the 9-11 Commission by not disclosing the existence of the tapes, in potential violation of the law. President George W Bush said last week he could not recall learning about the tapes before being briefed about them on December 6 by Michael Hayden, the CIA director. "It looks increasingly as though the decision was made by the White House," said Johnson. He believes it is "highly likely" that Bush saw one of the videos, as he was interested in Zubaydah's case and received frequent updates on his interrogation from George Tenet, the CIA director at the time.
It has emerged that the CIA did preserve two videotapes and an audiotape of detainee interrogations conducted by a foreign government, which may have been relevant to the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the Al-Qaeda conspirator. The CIA told a federal judge in 2003 that no such recordings existed but has now retracted that testimony. One of the tapes could show the interrogation of Ramzi Binalshibh, a September 11 conspirator, who was allegedly handed to Jordan for questioning.
In this regards, the sequence of statements out of the White House is extremely revealing. It started with firm denials, then went silent and then pulled back rather sharply to a "President Bush has no present recollection of having seen the tapes." This is a formulation frequently used to avoid perjury charges, a sort of way of saying "no" without really saying "no." In between these statements, two more things unfolded that have a bearing on the question.
The New York Times squarely placed four White House lawyers in the middle of the decision about whether to destroy the tapes—Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, John Bellinger and Harriet Miers. It also reported that at least one of them was strongly advocating destruction. Suspicion immediately fell on the principle mover in support of torture, David Addington.
Second, John Kiriakou clarified his statements about the purpose for which the tapes were made. It was to brief higher ups about the process of the interrogation. Reports persist that one "higher-up" in particular had a special strong interest in knowing the details of the Abu Zubaydah case. His name is George W. Bush.
Are Bush's denials that he has seen the torture tapes really credible? I don't think so. And having seen them, the interest in their destruction would be equally fierce, which helps account for the involvement of the White House's four most senior lawyers in the process. No doubt about it. The White House desperately wants to scapegoat some CIA people over this. (Laura Rozen's article "Operation Stop Talking" is the best treatment so far of this phenomenon, which finds its best current expression in the effort to "get" John Kiriakou). But the trail leads to the White House, and that is clearly where the decision was taken. It will be interesting to see the techniques used by the Justice Department to obscure all of this. At this point, no one who's tracked Justice Department antics over the past six years is anticipating anything but a crude cover-up.

Now let's see. We all see two large buildings explode before our very eyes, and we also see another building implode into its footprint. We are then told that all three buildings collapsed because of fire, and we believe it. How crude do they need to be?
He would not fly on commercial airlines.
Are Americans just getting around to mention this fact. It has been said that a group of Israel citizens were trying to document the event of 911, just how long did they know of this event.
Rice was informed of an event and I believed it mention "airplanes" months before it happen.
Also stated that an intelligent agent keep trying to get an appointment with Bush with information on an attack and when he finally was able to meet, he handed Bush the information at Bush's ranch, Bush then told him, you have now done you job,,, go...
If is also said that Bush and Cheney attacked our intelligent agencies to place the plame on them, for Bush and Cheney lack of concern about what was about to happen.
It looks like most of the elite and government leaders knew in advance of a coming attack and did nothing to stop it.
Bush started his spying program a month after he and his boss Cheney stole office in 2001 and as usual lied about starting he illegal data mining on the citizens of U.S. and if our democrats pass he policies they have also become the keepers of criminal activity.
Republicans have destroyed any attempts to work with democrats in the last 16 years and yet the democrats keep talking about getting together to pass good legistration. They only legistration that the repblicans are for or going to passing is "their truely""''
"President Bush has no present recollection of having seen the tapes." This is a formulation frequently used to avoid perjury charges, a sort of way of saying "no" without really saying "no."
What more is left? We know and GW knows he is a liar! Every Senator knows he is dodging perjury. Every Senator knows we know. What's the point in playing this silly game?
He had no plans to invade Iraq on his desk. They were in his filing cabinet. That's how this game is played.
reynaldo i trevino Yes they all did it and they all must pay for all they done.? I wloud love to see them Deheaded in from of the fucking whitehouse.How about (WE}[an.......no good that what they are.Nothing but fuckin pigs.
you bet he watched the torture tapes. the same sick bastard that tortured animals when he was a kid, and showed sadism signs thru the rest of his fratboy life, and you're asking; "did bush watch the torture tapes?"
give me a break. He and Cheney jerked their puds with that butt boyfriend of theirs, Guckert.
why not ask; "how many times he jerked his pud to those tapes?" and that'd be a much more sickening, much more relevant 'question' about the depths of depravity this murderous son of a bitch can sink to..
Who in the h... cares anymore about what Bush and Cheney say??? Why are these criminals doing still in office,,, stealing our taxes and resources while they totally destroy our country and sell it off to foreign countries.
Americans don't own much of this country anymore, Bush has sold it off to foreign country and private corporations.
What is the congress going to do, even if Bush and Cheney confess to their criminal crimes, and Cheney makes his crude statement telling them to go .... themselves and go to h... , attack Bush and Cheney with a verbal assault, they are afraid to even do that, because Bush's go to person, Pelosi will make them apologize for their statement.
Most of the elected officials must be in agreement with Bush's policies,,, or Bush has data mined some very bad information on them.
Bush is selling our land, resources, government jobs, roads, manufacturing jobs to foreign countries and private corporations and you mean to tell me there is not a d... thing our democrats or Republican can do or say to stop them.
This is illegal and again our congress is trying to make it legal by passing new legistration.
When in the hell are Americans going to rise up and stop this destruction to our country. Our forefathers must have turned over in the grave 10 times a day with this criminal activity going on.
When Bush is thourgh, American will have no land, resources, farms, roads, government and our jobs will be overseas and what is left will be held by cheap illegal immigrant workers.
They will be no social programs, jobs, health system except the elite, and Americans will be at the mercy of global corporations which Bush and Cheney have given all of our wealth and power.
Where would Cheney be now if not for the "free" health program given to him... Digging up dirt......

Mixes well review by asianwuwe on 10/19/2014
Casein Fusion is a very good protein. It mixes very well with no clumps. The only downside is it gets kinda foamy after shaking it. The taste is very good. It kinda taste like a chocolate cake flavour. There is no gritty texture or anything when eating this product. Def recommend.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

New lamps being tested at West Side Park
CHAMPAIGN — Park officials have installed new lamps at West Side Park in hopes that new energy-efficient lights will provide better coverage and cost less at the same time.
Of the 53 poles in the park, officials are testing two right now. The poles themselves are in good condition, park district director Bobbie Herakovich said, but the fixtures are more than 20 years old.
They don't even make the old mercury-vapor bulbs anymore, she said.
The goal of the test is to figure out "which fixture is more conducive to providing a safe evening walk for our residents without being obtrusive to the neighborhood," Herakovich said.
One of the fixtures being tested emits a slightly bluish light, she said, and "we don't like it," but there are other colors that can be tested.
The full replacement will cost about $1,000, Herakovich estimates. The bulbs run at 80 percent efficiency, which means smaller light bulbs will get better coverage and cost less to turn on.
The new bulbs are expected to last twice as long, too, she said.
Right now, the West Side Park electric bill costs the park district about $8,000 annually. Herakovich said she hopes new fixtures will cut that at least in half.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- It took just two plays Sunday for the Arizona Cardinals to find themselves facing a third down.
They lined up five wide at their own 27, hoping their first opportunity against the 49ers would jump-start their 30-percent third-down completion rate. Running back Andre Ellington was jammed for a second at the snap, then he broke into the left flat where quarterback Carson Palmer hit the rookie but Niners safety Donte Whitner wrapped up Ellington a yard short of the first down.
Arizona's troubles on third down continued in San Francisco, where the Cardinals were 5-for-13. Their overall percentage barely improved from 30 to 31.5 but the Cards are still ranked 30th in third-down percentage. Part of the problem lies in the yard just in front of the first-down marker.
When Cardinals coach Bruce Arians dials up a third-down play for a rookie, that's where they usually end up.
"When you're the underneath guy running a flat route and it's third-and-5, you expect to get five yards," Arians said. "It's not route depth. It's not going out there and breaking out, then you would be concerned.
"When you're the flare control to a deeper route, and you're the option, we still anticipate you getting the first down."
Ellington missed on the first down twice Sunday, the second time coming when, at first glance, he apparently go the first down. The play was challenged by San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh and was overturned.
Ellington was credited for a 3-yard catch, one short of the first down. The Cardinals had to punt, down 15-14 and on the next drive the Niners extended their lead to eight. Ellington has nine receptions in 12 targets this season on third down, but he's only converted three of them.
"It's a little tough because in college you don't practice that situation unless you're the quarterback, really," Ellington said. "Just being in the NFL, everything is so detailed and structured, you got to be on top of your game."
And if they're not, the rookies will hear it from Arians. Coming up just short on third down has been an issue for the Cardinals all season and making sure the receivers get past the sticks has become a point of emphasis in practice, veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said.
He was saddled with a third-down situation in the third quarter. Fitzgerald ran his route a yard past the marker and came back to make the catch right at the 10-yard-line.
"Obviously, you got to get past the sticks," Fitzgerald said. "You got to account for catching the ball and the defender tackling you. It's something that we've definitely talked about. It's been addressed in the meetings countless times so hopefully it doesn't show up anymore."
Arians turned to rookie receiver Jaron Brown late in the second quarter on third down. He ran his route from the outside slot two yards short of the first-down line. When he went to dive for the marker, he was already out-of-bounds.
Looking back on it, Brown said it was simply a lack of awareness for him.
"That's a play that shouldn't happen and one that we got to know where the sticks is," Brown said.
The routes will remain the same for the rookies. Arians won't adjust their depth or their timing. It's up to the players -- rookies or not -- to make sure they get the first down any which way they can.
"We know we got to get to the sticks," said rookie running back Stepfan Taylor, who converted an important third down late in the third quarter. "On third down you got to get the first down. Coach has the play designed perfect for us to execute, we just have to go out and make the play."

Super Furry Animals6/7
Dark Days/Light Years
Saint Patrick was a Welshman, kidnapped by Irish slavers as a teenager. In 1301, King Edward I of England named his own baby 'the Prince of Wales' because he thought the boy's goo-goo-ga-ga gibberish sounded like Welsh. In short, Wales gets no love.
The injustice carries on today. Despite consistently churning out playful, brilliant pop albums since 1996, the land's greatest band, Super Furry Animals, remain a bit of an unknown quantity abroad. But we'll go ahead and say it: the Furries' ninth, Dark Days/Light Years, goes toe-to-toe with any Radiohead album you can name. Imagine if Thom Yorke had a sense of humour, a more enjoyable record collection, a sweeter voice and collectable Japanese toys. Any band that can sing a touching antiwar poem called 'The Very Best Of Neil Diamond' over a sinister, sticky-icky Persian sax riff is tapping into some deep wells of imagination.
The opening salvo sets the tone with molten, ridiculous wah-wah guitar gobs, while boinging bass and the Berlin wail of Bowie's 'Heroes' propel 'Inaugural Trams', a love song to both a girl and the future, based on German public transportation. 'White Socks/Flip Flops' makes a Steely Dan-style boogie sound sexy and heavy, while 'Cardiff In The Sun' slowly blooms into an orange, humming, numbing solar trance.

Depeche Mode3/7
Sounds Of The Universe
Fringes sculpted into stiff breaking waves that are big enough for a Smurf to surf; studded leather gear; a name that translates from the French into 'fashion dispatch' – all the signs suggested Depeche Mode wouldn't clear three years, let alone three decades. But the remarkable legs of '80s synth-pop shouldn't be so surprising. This is a sound born of, and bettered by, digital technology. As phones shrink and dishwashers outsmart us, so too should the keyboard-and-computer compositions of this UK trio grow more ornate, dazzling, crisp and futuristic, no?
First, the good news: Album 12 is the group's most texturally thrilling and entrancing. The bad news: That's all that it is. Technically, Depeche Mode's music has never sounded better. Sounds Of The Universe mesmerises, as if producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Elbow) shoved a multimillion-dollar NASA microphone right inside supernovas, nebulas, suns and alien atmospheres.
Synthesisers gurgle like gas, hiss like spewing steam, hum like swishing lightsabers, chitter like insectoid droids and ping like lost satellites. There's playful electronic sci-fi noodling on display that traces well beyond the band's playful roots, back to Louis and Bebe Barron's eerie Forbidden Planet score from 1956.
The problem lies in the human spirit inhabiting these interstellar tracks. Dave Gahan's gothic baritone saps any whimsy. 'Peace', with two Depeche Mode rarities – optimism and falsetto – and 'Perfect' match melodic hooks to video-arcade noises. Gahan's junkie-gospel agony casts ugly shadows over everything else. This means that the cheeky instrumental is a highlight: in 'Spacewalker', no one can hear him scream.

Last April, Swedish house DJ Avicii, aka Tim Bergling, let a somewhat obvious cat out of an already transparent bag when he admitted that most major DJ's sets are pre-programmed. The dance community, like a laptop Magic Circle, denied this vehemently and Avicii retracted his comments, but the world's third biggest DJ and EDM frontrunner left us with the image of an artist who merely twiddles the volume knob and plays air synth for $250,000 a night.
He could be streaming his two hours of Ibizan whoomps, thumping oontz-oontzes and sampled soul platitudes straight off Kiss FM for all the 30,000 arm-flailers of Earls Court care, but he nonetheless atones for his gaffe with a night of sheer spectacle. Bergling's Vegas residencies have rubbed off: eight layers of lasers form dense neon mesh-works and tower blocks of sizzle, his drops are heralded with more fire and steam than Backdraft and his podium is a gigantic diamond-shaped screen pumping out lavish visuals of swilling champagne and melting fractals. It's a stadium-worthy display for tracks that are ultimately destined to soundtrack a tragic blackout case slithering from the Love Lift.
To prove he's no mindless play-presser, Bergling peppers his own hits – a cut-glass Diamonds, the disco gospel Addicted to You and Smokey Robinson's Tracks of My Tears reworked as a melodic rave Kraken – with snippets of local colour from Disclosure, Primal Scream, Underworld and Florence and the Machine. There's even a slab of Arctic Monkeys' Do I Wanna Know?, which baffles the crowd motionless. There's exploratory crossover intent here: Avicii worked with metal and bluegrass musicians, plus Antony Hegarty and Nile Rodgers, on his debut album True and tonight's encore Wake Me Up caused uproar when premiered with a live band at Miami's Ultra dance festival last March, as it so shamelessly bounces on the hay bales of Mumford. But besides Wake Me Up, and for all his experimental bent, melodic focus and relentless intensity, Avicii is short on iconic hooks and fresh house formulas: there's little sign of an EDM reboot tonight. Production-wise, though, this is rave's next level.

My father, George Robinson, who has died aged 79, made no room for half-measures, dishonesty or poor taste. His exacting intellect was offset by charm, a lovely smile and a devilish sense of humour. He made friends, or at least an impression, wherever he went.
The elder of two sons born to Anna Vachova and George Robinson, he was raised in New Jersey and New York, but left for Europe as a young man. He had a love of music and sweets (his Czech blood, he always said), and so London suited him perfectly. He proudly attended the entire Ring Cycle, and while living in Knightsbridge made a weekly ritual of teatime at Harrods.
From 1959, he worked as an editor at the publishers William Heinemann and the Bodley Head, and during these years, he married Anna Paskevska. In 1966, they returned to the US, where he took up a position as editor at McGraw-Hill, Holt, Rinehart and Winston and at Princeton University Press. He returned to London in 1973 to work at Thames & Hudson. His friendships there had remained a vital link to a country he had always missed.
Divorce, in 1973, and the subsequent separation from my brother Theo and I, led him into analysis with Lola Paulsen, a founding member of the Society of Analytical Psychology, where he himself later undertook training, leaving publishing to devote the rest of his life to working with patients. He also occasionally broadcast on the BBC. In recent years, he worked as an analyst in New York, Princeton and Trenton, New Jersey. His patients, supervisees, colleagues and friends well remember his breathtaking intuition, compassion and judgment.
His intellect and imagination were well satisfied by the Russian Orthodox Church, of which he was a member until his death. He is survived by my brother and myself.

A family home: convenient, comfy, and designed for the whole family
Very good location near the main square Marquês Pombal which means close to downtown, museums and night clubs. Our neighbourhood is full of restaurants, cafes, cinema, shops and little parks and playgrounds. Our favourite thing about living here is the tranquility of our area and the proximity to public transport (underground, bus) everything Lisbon has to offer.

About a year ago, on Vero Beach in Florida shortly after sunrise, a group of elderly people practised chi gong, an ancient Chinese exercise related to tai chi, scarcely aware that they were being closely watched by a huge man out for an early-morning run. Had they seen him and known something of his distant past, which included jail sentences in England for robbery and assault, they might have needed to take deeper, more meditative breaths than normal. The man drifted away, but the next morning he was back, this time asking if he could join in.
He was cheerfully admitted to the group, and in due course began meeting some of them in the evenings for dinner - an even more incongruous spectacle than the beach exercises, for he was yards taller, years younger, and a different colour. They told him their life stories. The man learnt that one of his new friends had recently lost his wife to cancer, that another's husband had drowned, and that the chi gong sessions, led by a likeable Jamaican called John, gave them spiritual nourishment as well as physical satisfaction.
By now they knew that the man's name was Audley Harrison, that he was a British boxer, and that a devastating blow had been administered to his professional reputation following a humiliating defeat in December 2005 at the hands of his compatriot Danny Williams.
Whatever promise Harrison had shown by winning Commonwealth and Olympic gold medals as as an amateur in 1998 and 2000 had wilted in the years since. The lucrative contract he signed with the BBC after turning pro was widely considered to be one of the biggest blemishes on the otherwise impressive CV of Greg Dyke, then the BBC's director-general. Harrison's company, A-Force, was ridiculed, as was his determination to make his own fights. The most powerful man in British boxing, the promoter Frank Warren, habitually called him "Fraudley".
What a difference a year makes. With his former nemesis Warren now in his corner, Harrison goes into the ring against his old sparring partner Michael Sprott tomorrow with more credibility than he has had in years. He cites the chi gong sessions, the inspiration he got from the way his Floridian friends had handled their various tragedies, marriage to a Las Vegas hairdresser called Raychel, the birth last year of their daughter, Ariella, and indeed reconciliation with his own mother after decades of estrangement ("we're not lovey-dovey but we've made a connection, and she's met the baby"), as factors in his comprehensive defeat of Williams two months ago, when he did what many pundits thought beyond him, fighting with skill and purpose to achieve a third-round knockout.
As a result, the prospect of Audley Harrison, heavyweight champion of the world, is no longer a laughing matter. Matt Skelton awaits him if he beats Sprott, with the winner of that fight likely to get a crack at the WBO title held by the American Shannon Briggs.
And so to a room in the Wembley Plaza Hotel, overlooking the badlands of north-west London where Harrison grew up brawling and stealing. I have interviewed him once before, and was seduced then by his extraordinary charisma and eloquence. This time I am warier, because his deeds since we last met haven't remotely lived up to the beguiling chat he gave me, and yet I leave an hour later captivated once more. If he could box like he can talk he would already have emulated his heroes Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali and Jack Johnson.
"Jack Johnson's biography is the quickest book I've ever read," he tells me. "He was a maverick, so ahead of his time, a great technical boxer, but what he did out of the ring, taking on the system... a lot of my own nonconformist attitude came from people like him and Muhammad Ali. I'm controversial too, but I need to match my feats out of the ring with my feats in the ring. Hence the alliance with Warren. He will help me to win the world title, and defend it three or four times."
To reach those rarefied heights he must first meet the relatively prosaic challenge of taking Sprott's European Union crown around the corner at Wembley Arena. I ask him what he expects of his opponent? "He's cagey, with good defence and good hand speed. He's not a massive puncher, he has average power, but he believes he can win. But where I'm going, he's in my way, basically. He can't win. Any time I lose from here on in is because the guy outclasses me. That's not going to happen on Saturday."
Most boxing experts agree. So after all the sneering - much of it, in truth, justified - he must enjoy being talked and written about as a genuine contender, I venture. He smiles. "It's the paradox of sport. You see it with the England cricket team. A terrible Ashes, totally ridiculed, then they come back and win a one-day tournament, now everyone's saying they have a chance to win the World Cup.
"People judged me on the first Williams fight, but now I've given them something else to to gauge me by. If you see what [Vitali] Klitschko did to Williams, it took him eight rounds. I destroyed him. But it's true that before the first fight I said, 'Right, this is it, the L-plates are off, the learning curve is over.' And I wasn't able to take advantage. Then I lost [equally humiliatingly] to [Dominick] Guin.
"My manhood was challenged. Spiritually and emotionally I was pretty low. I went to Vero Beach on my own to train. I knew I wanted to carry on boxing. I didn't want to be a 50-year-old man, bitter, hating the system. The only way was to let go of the anger, to realign my faith in God, and to change my motivation."
His motivation? "Yeah. As an amateur I had an Olympic dream, and when I turned professional it was with the same ideals. I was still doing it for the glory, and because of the deal with the Beeb I didn't have to worry financially. But the reality is that this is my profession, this is how I get paid, and if I lose my next fight, where's the next pay cheque coming from?
"I'd never thought like that before. Before it was the anger driving me, getting back at the system, childhood things. Now I don't need that. It's strictly business now. I have a family to provide for, and I've been smart with certain investments, but I'm not yet in a position where I can retire and live on the beach."
If anyone can guide him to contented retirement, maybe even running a chi gong class, it is Warren, whose endorsement of the man he once called "Fraudley" is a volte-face comparable with Sam Allardyce and Arsène Wenger going on holiday together. Harrison, an Arsenal fan, acknowledges the analogy.
"I don't think it was ever personal on Frank's side, although a lot of slanderous things were said about me and not just by him. There were plenty of others who got on the bandwagon. I admit it got personal on my side, but eventually I realised that a lot of people in the public eye get crucified in the same way. Beckham, reality stars, royalty, I'm no more special than them. I also realised that the person who was the root of most of my problems was Frank, and that I might as well go to the root of the problem.
"My business manager Hazel was in my ear all the time, saying that I should go back and fight in the UK. She had a meeting with Frank, and now we have a relationship which makes sense on both sides. It makes sense to bring a big hitter to our team and now I'm two fights away from a world title. I'm like the horse coming through at the back. I'll win a world title, and walk away from boxing on my own terms."
He concedes, however, that this is not exactly a golden era for heavyweight boxing. "Having four different champions is not ideal, but actually it's ideal for the fighters, because having one champion in this day and age, with so many fighters, means you could be waiting half your career to get a shot. But next year I believe the heavyweight division will be unified, and everyone will say boxing is great again, because when heavyweight boxing is in good shape, boxing is in good shape.
"I think 2008 will be rosy for boxing and rosy for me. Boxing needs someone with charisma, and I have that on both sides of the Atlantic. The Americans are prepared to adopt me just to take a belt off one of the Russians." With that irresistible thought Harrison's eyes wander to the window, and I invite him to focus on the urban sprawl beyond, and to consider where he has got to, compared with where he might have been.
"Yeah, there are some sad stories out there. Sad stories. I'm still in contact with most of my old friends, and a lot of them are still in the same tough neighbourhoods we grew up in, trying to be law-abiding. But it's tough. Life's tough."
It was half a lifetime ago that he was sent to Feltham Young Offenders' Institution. He is 35 now; he was 17 then. "I got 32 months, which was a harsh sentence. There was a gang of us, up to a lot of mainly petty stuff. I'd been to three different schools, I was like a dog with no home, running wild. I sat in prison until I was 19, thinking, 'I've got no qualifications. It's strategy time now. I have to go to college.'
"Then I came out and turned into Mr Righteous. There was this guy smoking on the bus behind me, and everyone was complaining. I said, 'Can you put out the smoke?' but he didn't, so I pulled the cigarette out of his mouth. He stood up, and I gave him, you know, a little tap. He claimed I stabbed him, which was total baloney, but I admitted assault and I went back for two or three weeks. That wasn't fun. I said, 'Right, that's it. This bad boy phase is over.'
"I went to college, and about the same time I started boxing. I'd had a fight with a guy in the street, a friend of mine actually, but something happened and I had to kind of defend the family honour. You ask about my old friends. Well, the guy I had the fight with is gone now. Murdered. But afterwards someone asked if I was a boxer. I said I'd never boxed in my life. They said, 'You were throwing proper boxing punches.' That made me go to the gym and give it a try.
"I used to smoke weed. I gave that up. I got fit. I went to [Brunel] university. I was determined to succeed but in England that attitude isn't always celebrated. In England they dent your aspirations, stunt your positivity. That's why I like being in America. In America I can be myself."
He, Raychel and Ariella live in Vegas, the capital of brash artifice, but also the home of hitting the jackpot. Either way, it is plainly the right place for him.

Chapter Seven: Accepting
After the sleepover, Sora became a near-permanent presence at the apartment, which delighted Gabrielle, who couldn't have been happier that Sora and Leon had begun dating. Sora stayed over almost every night, and for a while, it was as if they had become a real family.
But the upcoming custody hearing always loomed over them, a topic that both Leon and Sora took care to avoid discussing. Neither wanted to risk ruining their newfound happiness, yet as the court date rapidly approached, the inevitable discussion about what would become of Gabrielle became harder and harder to put off.
"We need to talk," Sora announced one evening about a week before the court date.
Leon, knowing exactly what she wanted to talk about and not wanting to hear it, came up behind Sora and began nuzzling her neck, one of his hands roaming downward. "Less talk, more kissing," he whispered into her ear, hoping to distract her.
"Stop it, Leon. I'm being serious." Sora swatted his hand away and turned around to face him. "We can't keep ignoring the elephant in the room like this. It's time for you to make a decision."
Leon ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "Sora…"
"Do you still intend to sign away your parental rights?" she asked. "The court date is just days away, yet you still haven't told Gabi about the hearing."
"I will."
"I don't know," he admitted, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.
Sora sat down beside him, reaching for one of his hands and resting her head against his shoulder. "I know it'll be hard, but if you really intend to give Gabi up, she needs to be told."
"I know."
"Of course, if you want to let her stay…"
"Sora, it's -"
She shushed him, bringing a finger to his lips. "No, you can't say this isn't any of my business anymore," she said. "I'm your girlfriend, Leon. I love that little girl as if she was my very own, and I don't want her to leave."
Leon abruptly stood back up. "I never asked you to become her surrogate mother," he said in a sharp tone, rounding on her.
"You're right." Sora glanced down and began playing with a loose thread on the comforter. "I knew I shouldn't have let myself get so attached to her," she continued in a soft voice, "but she reminded me so much of myself at that age, when my parents died. I just wanted to help her…and you."
His eyes widened. "Me?"
Sora stood and moved behind him, wrapping her arms around his torso. "You've always been so guarded, for as long as I've known you," she said, placing a hand over his heart. "You don't let people into your heart easily, so I thought I would try to help you bond with Gabrielle. Maybe it really was none of my business, but she's your daughter, Leon. You've become a family." She shook her head, correcting herself. "No, we've become a family. Haven't we?"
Leon broke free of her hold. "Don't make this decision even more difficult than it already is."
"But that's the thing. It shouldn't be that difficult. Gabi loves you, and you love her - don't even try to deny it. You have the financial means and the physical ability to take care of her, so what's the problem?"
"You just don't understand."
"You're right. I don't understand, so explain it to me. Please."
Leon's hands clenched into fists at his side. Why did Sora have to keep pushing him about this? If she knew what he had done to Emilie, had almost done to Gabrielle… She would hate him, just as much as he already hated himself for what had happened that night.
"Please," Sora softly begged again. "I want - No, I need to know the truth. Make me understand why you're acting like this."
He inhaled a deep breath, realizing that she wasn't about to let the subject drop unless he finally told her the truth.
"Gabrielle… I almost killed her."
"W-What? Leon, what are you talking about? You've never hurt Gabri-"
"Her mother was the first victim of the so-called 'God of Death'," Leon said, beginning the story before he lost his nerve. "It happened a few months after Sophie's death at the Festival. I joined the Noir Circus where Emilie worked, and we were paired together. It wasn't long before we were sleeping together as well, although my heart wasn't really into the relationship. I liked her well enough, I suppose, but I was mostly just using her to forget my grief. I wasn't a very good boyfriend."
Sora reached out to him, but Leon took a step back, moving away from her grasp. "My main reason for joining that circus was to find someone who would be able to perform the Angel's Maneuver. Emilie had an incredible talent and charisma, so I thought maybe she could be the one," he explained. "Then one night, she wasn't feeling well. We had a show, but she wanted to cancel until she felt better. We fought. I thought she was being weak and told her she wasn't worthy of being my partner if she let a silly thing like an illness get in the way of her performing. She begged me for the chance to prove otherwise, so I told her that during that night's performance, I would give her the opportunity to show off."
Sora brought a hand to her mouth, her eyes going wide at the implication.
"I did to her what I did to May and all the others. I dropped Emilie without warning, expecting she would be able to handle the ab-lib. She couldn't. I tried to catch her, but I was a second too late. She was badly injured." Leon paused for a moment, expecting Sora to say something. When she didn't, he continued, hoping she wouldn't despise him after she learned the worst part. "The last time I saw Emilie was later that night at the hospital. I wanted to apologize for what I had done, but all she did was scream at me all these things that didn't make sense to me at the time. Something about how I didn't know what I had almost done. When I found out about Gabrielle, I finally understood the meaning behind those words. The illness she was complaining about that night was morning sickness. Emilie had found out she was pregnant, and I almost caused her to miscarry the baby."
Sora sat back down in visible shock, not saying anything in response to what he had just told her. Leon, unsure of how to take her silence, thought he might have preferred it if she had yelled and screamed at him instead.
"Do you understand now?" he asked. "I don't deserve to be Gabrielle's father."
After a long moment, Sora's eyes looked back up, finally coming out of her stupor. "But you had no way of knowing," she said. "Emilie didn't even know she was pregnant until after it happened. If you had known, you never would have done something like that! I know you wouldn't."
"It doesn't matter. I shouldn't have done it to her, pregnancy or not."
"That's true, but -"
Leon turned away. "There is no excuse, Sora."
"Maybe not," she admitted. "But even if you did a horrible thing to Gabrielle's mother, that doesn't mean you can't be a good father to her. You're not the person you were back then. You've changed, and I'm sure Emilie saw it too when she came to watch you perform in Swan Lake." Sora came up to him, lightly caressing his cheek. "Emilie obviously forgave you for what happened; if she hadn't, she never would have left Gabi in your care in the event of her death. If she can do it, can't you forgive yourself?"
"Gabrielle is leaving; end of discussion. I'll tell her tomorrow morning."
He shrugged her hand away. "I'm going to get a drink."
Leon exited the bedroom, needing a moment to himself. As he walked down the hall to the kitchen, however, he glanced over at Gabrielle's bedroom door and noticed it was ajar, light poring out into the hallway. He frowned. He had tucked her in over an hour ago; what was she still doing up? Concerned, Leon walked over and poked his head inside.
"Gabrielle, it's past your bed- Gabrielle?"
The room was empty, her bed unmade. Noticeably missing was Emilie's doll, which Gabrielle had slept with every night since they returned from Paris.
Leon checked the bathroom across the hall from her room. It was empty as well.
"This isn't funny, Gabrielle," he called out, beginning a search of all the other rooms in the apartment. "I'm not in the mood to play hide-and-seek. Come out right now."
"Leon, what's wrong?" Sora asked, sticking her head out of the master bedroom.
"I can't find Gabrielle. She's not in her room."
"She has to be around here somewhere." Sora came out and joined him in the search. "Gabi?"
Though they checked everywhere they could think of, Gabrielle was nowhere to be found in the apartment. Leon leaned back against a wall, struggling to remain upright as the realization hit him.
"She's gone," he said, running a hand through his hair. "She must have overheard us talking and ran away. Oh, God!"
"Don't panic," Sora said, taking charge. "She can't have gotten very far on foot. Let's get dressed and look for her."
A few minutes later, they were in Leon's car, driving around the neighborhood. "I don't even know what direction to go in," he muttered when they came to the first intersection. Gabrielle could be anywhere.
"Is there any place in particular she likes to go?"
"I don't know."
"Turn left," Sora said, making the decision for him. "I'm calling Jerry." She pulled out her cell phone and called her long-time friend, the policeman. "Jerry, it's Sora. Leon Oswald's daughter has gone missing. We think she's run away from home. … Her name is Gabrielle Paradis. She's five years old, a little under four feet tall, with green eyes and long white-blonde hair. The last time we saw her, she was wearing a pair of pink 'Hello Kitty' pajamas. … I don't know how long she's been gone. Leon put her to bed around seven-thirty, maybe eight? But we didn't notice her missing until about ten minutes ago. Leon and I are looking for her now. … No, we're already going that way. Check in the other direction. … Yeah, that sounds good. Thanks, Jerry. Let us know if you find her." She hung up. "He's joining the search as well. He's going to check around Kaleido Stage. We'll take the area around her school."
Leon nodded his understanding.
"Maybe she went to one of her friends' houses…" Sora mused aloud.
Without taking his eyes off the road, he reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out his own cell, which he tossed over to Sora. "Their parents' phone numbers are saved in the phone book. Start with the Fiorellos. Melissa is her best friend, and their place is closest to the apartment."
"On it."
While Sora was on the phone, calling the parents of Gabrielle's schoolmates, Leon kept focus on the search, straining to find any sign of Gabrielle in the darkness. A barrage of thoughts attacked his mind, but the most prominent among them was the fear that she might get hit by a car, just as Sophie had. If anything happened to Gabrielle… He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, willing himself to concentrate on the task at hand.
"Nobody's seen her, but they said they would call if they did," Sora said after finishing the last call. "A few even offered to look for her, too."
"We have to find her, Sora. We have to."
She reached over and placed a comforting hand on his knee. "We will."
A short time later, a streak of lightning flashed through the cloudy night sky, accompanied by a loud crash of thunder. A storm was brewing.
"Damn it!" Leon swore, remembering the night Gabrielle first came to live with him. "She's afraid of thunder."
Sora stifled a cry. As calm as she had been up until then, he could tell that the longer they went without finding Gabrielle, the more upset she was becoming. Leon avoided looking over at her, not wanting to add to his own rising panic. It began to downpour, making it that much more difficult to see in the dark. He was so intent on the search that he nearly jumped out of his skin when one of their cell phones rang. Sora, who was still in possession of both of them, checked the name on the display.
"Leon, it's Officer Jerry!" She quickly wiped away her tears and answered her phone. "Jerry, did you find her? Is she okay?" Sora asked, breathing a sigh of relief when she heard the answer. "She is? Oh, thank you!" She reached for Leon's arm. "He found her. She's scared and a little shaken by the storm, but she wasn't hurt."
"Where are they?"
Sora turned her attention back to the phone. "Where are you?… Okay, we'll be there as soon as we can. Thank you again, Jerry." She hung up. "He found her at the bus stop in front of Kaleido Stage. He's taking her there. They'll be waiting for us in the boss's office."
Leon performed an abrupt U-turn, turning the car back around and breaking all the speed limits on his way to Kaleido Stage. Once there, he jumped out of the car and dashed to Kalos's office, Sora right on his heels. Leon didn't even bother knocking, barging right into the office. Relief washed over him the moment he saw Gabrielle sitting on the couch with Sarah, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders as she sipped from a mug of hot chocolate. She was wet, but otherwise appeared unharmed. Kalos and the police officer were also present.
Gabrielle looked up at the sound of his voice. "Papa?" After handing her cup to Sarah, she stood up. She took a few hesitant steps forward, then ran over to Leon, tears in her eyes. "Papa!"
Leon dropped to his knees, embracing his daughter. A sob shook through his body.
"Papa, don't cry," Gabrielle said. "I'm okay."
He hugged her even tighter and kissed the top of her head. "Don't you ever scare me like that again," he told her.
"I won't. I'm sorry I was a bad girl."
"That's not true." He pulled back and shook his head. "You are a wonderful, amazing little girl, and I love you so much," he said, wiping the tears away from her cheeks with his thumbs. "I was a bad father, Gabrielle, and I'm so, so sorry."
"But I heard you and Sora talking. You're going to send me away."
"No, I'm never letting you go." Leon hugged her again. First thing tomorrow morning, he was going to put in a call to Henri Joubert to cancel the hearing. "Not ever."
Over by Kalos' desk, the hulking policeman started bawling as well. "It's so beautiful! I love a happy ending," Jerry said as Kalos wordlessly handed him a tissue from the box on his desk. "Thanks, man."
"Sorry for the imposition, Boss," Sora said.
Kalos gave a off-hand wave. "It's fine. I'm about to be a father myself in a few months, so I understand a little what Leon must have felt. We're just glad everything turned out alright."
"Oh!" Over on the couch, Sarah gasped and placed a hand against her stomach. "The baby just kicked. I think she's saying she's glad, too."
"She? It's a girl?" Sora asked.
The expectant mother grinned. "We just found earlier today. Isn't it marvelous?"
"Yes, congratulations! That's amazing!"
Leon, though tempted to keep to his word literally, finally did release Gabrielle, allowing her to run over to an overjoyed Sora. He stood back up and looked over at Kalos.
"Yes, it is," he agreed. "I'm sure that little girl is going to steal your heart."
"I'll be looking forward to it."
After thanking Jerry for locating Gabrielle, Leon walked over to Sora and his daughter and took Gabrielle by the hand. "Come on, you two," he said. "I think it's time we head home. It's been a long night."
Sora, who had grabbed Emmy from the couch, reached for Gabrielle's other hand. "Home," she repeated, smiling as they left Kalos' office and headed back to the car. "Yes, I like the sound of that."
So did Leon.
For so long, he had been on his own. Sora was right. After Sophie died, he had closed off his heart to others, afraid to get too close to anybody and risk experiencing such pain again. Now that Gabrielle and Sora were in his life, however, he couldn't imagine his life without them. Somewhere along the way, they truly had become a family.
"Look at her, Leon," Sora whispered when they had returned back to his apartment and put an exhausted Gabrielle back to bed. "Doesn't she look like a little angel when she's asleep?"
Leon came up behind Sora and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Yes, she does."
"I'm so glad you changed your mind about sending her away."
"So am I," he said. "You were right. I was being a coward. I was ashamed of what I had done to Emilie and scared to admit my true feelings. All I was doing was running away again, just like I did after Sophie died."
"But you've stopped running now, right?"
Leon smiled and kissed the back of Sora's head. "Right."
He was no longer alone, and he couldn't have been happier.

New Braunfels City Council voted unanimously Monday to eliminate a total of 28 city staff positions — including 15 slots that are currently vacant. Twelve of the positions are full-time jobs. Though the staff cuts are strategic, they only solve part of city's budget woes. City Manager Chuck Pinto assured council more tough decisions lay ahead. Before voting, council members asked for points of clarification on the matter and were relatively quiet except for a few almost somber words. District 6 Councilman Ken Valentine urged council members and staff to continue to explore ways to increase revenue, such as fees. The city needs to maintain the "core" of services, he said.See CITY COUNCIL/3A PINTO Burned by bad luck Early voting ends today Early voting in the New Braunfels municipal election and the Comal Independent School District election ends tori ay.

Elliott Franklin, Cindy Cross and Sarah Stevick By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer New Braunfels Independent School District trustees began prioritizing expenditures Monday night as they reviewed ways to overcome an expected $1.5 million budget shortfall. Schrxri district spokesperson Stephanie Ferguson said the district expects to lose almost $1.5 million in state funding for next school year. Although increased property valuations would cover part. of those lost funds, the district is still facing a deficit. "We were trying to show the Ik mi d we were starting off in nearly a half-a-million dollar deficit — at $445,839," Superintendent Ron Reaves said. That deficit is mainly caused by reduced interest income, the inception and creation of the New Braunfels High School's Ninth Grade Academy program, plus a fuel storage leak detection system thats a mandated requirement, Ferguson said. To cover the deficit, staff members searched through the budget to find possible cuts. Suggestions were made to cut $425,(XKJ from supplies, travel costs and salaries by realigning a few positions and taking advantage of some staff attrition — not replacing some retirees or employees who resign.

That's because they are the same pressures county fire departments have faced for years. Zipp also said his department would do what it could to help the NBFD — just as the city has done for years for the BVFD. "We've never had a problem with New Braunfels," Zipp said Monday. On Friday, Herber announced that his department would be reducing its initial fire response outside New Braunfels to six men on one engine and one tanker. Thats a reduction from the 14 men, thnx* trucks, an ambulance and command vehicle now sent to county fires. The move could delay "interior attack" — sending firefighters into a burning building — because federal safety standards require that a crew of 14 he on hand to support sending firefighters inside a burning structure. The standard is one that volunteer firefighters in unincorporated areas of Comal and Guadalupe counties often turn their backs on. ■ Manpower issues have long forctxl volunteer departments follow a "two plus two" scenario where two firefighters go inside to do a sweep for victims while two support them from outside ready to try to rescue them if something goes wrong. Herber said the city would look to the county and to volunteer fire departments for mutual aid help in outlying areas and where jurisdictions overlap. "I think this response is more typical of the fire response in unincorporated areas," Herber said. "I'd like to do more. I just don't have the luxury any more" Bracken, which depends on volunteers, revenues from Rural Fin* Prelection District 3's three cents per $ IOO prep-erty tax rate and its annual spring and fall fund-raisers, sold its substation in 2<X)1. "He hasn't contacted me yet, hut I was fixing to talk to him and get the whole scoop," Zipp said of Herber. "Basically, they're cutting their response. It's definitely going to hinder firefighting — it's going to hurt, manpower-wise," Zipp said. The coverage areas of the NBFD and BVFD overlap in parts of Solms and up on FM 1863 west of New Braunfels — a long haul for Bracken from its station on FM 3(X)9 just up the road from the Garden Ridge Municipal Complex. "For us, I guess, especially in the past, the response we've got when we called for help was an engine or a tanker," Zipp said. He said he hoped, like in the past and like in his current relationship with Schertz, where former New Braunfels Fire Marshal Elroy Friesen-hahn is now fire chief, the two departments would he able to get the firefighting job done by working together. "We don't know how it will come until it all gets here," Zipp saki. "We've always known we would have to call for more help when we knew we had a big fire. We're willing to do whatever we need to — wiiatiMTwe can supply — to help them out."

The house was destroyed in the blaze. Separate fires leave 2 families homeless By Ron Maloney Staff Writer A pair of apparently accidental fires left New Braunfels and Canyon I^ake residents homeless Sunday. Canyon I^ake and Spring Branch firefighters fought a fire that heavily damaged a Hillcrest Forest home at about IO a.m. Sunday.

New Braunfels Fire Marshal Darren Brinkkoeter assisted in the firefighting effort. "The fire had traveled up through the walls into an upstairs bath and the attic area," Brinkkoeter said. "Canyon Lake firefighters attacked aggressively," he said. In spite of heavy smoke and flames, firemen went into the home. "High winds pushed the fire from one end to the other," Brinkkoeter said. "The firemen were hampered by the building's features." Comal County Assistant Fire Marshal Bill Anz said decks and construction additions hampered firefighting.

They don't taste French! And by that I mean they don't have that je ne sais quoi flavor that is in the blend of the oils in the Tuna and the Salmon ones. These lack flavor, I tried adding a little salt and that wasn't it. I added some kelp flakes and it was a bit better. I love the tuna one the best but I'm tired of fishing out endless kernels of GMO corn from that one. I don't really miss the fish, it's definitely the blend that's too bland. And I never ever use their packets of seasoning as their contents are either toxic or unappetizing and would ruin the flavor & healthiness of it all. Not sure that I will purchase this one again, for the same price I prefer to have the protein and of course the taste is so dreadfully bland!

I bought these thinking they would be great to rotate into our family earthquake supplies, or to take camping. I found out they are good for even more. I just tried my first can. Its really good! Low fat too! According to my calculations one can is 4 weight watchers points. (pretty sure I did it corectly) I found a can makes a nice light meal. The condiment sauce was very sweet and I didnt use it. The fork worked, but was too small and I was really hungry so I used a regular one :-)
Delicious & Easy!

May the Lord give you peace and blessing through the music that He has brought forth through this ministry. The music is a "crossover" style that combines the rich roots of Middle Eastern music with contemporary, rock, folk, jazz, and blues to create a unique sound for praise and worship. The music on these CDs focuses on praise and worship to the Holy One of Israel.
"Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the Lord of hosts." (Malachi 3:1)
Several of these songs are taken from the psalms which God gave to King David and others by which they praised and honored Him. The psalms were also used by Israel to sing praises to the Holy One as the musicians ministered in the Temple. They became, literally, their songbook.
In addition, the Lord, by His Holy Spirit, gave us several other songs. While the words are original, they are solidly based upon Scripture. Their only intent is to bring glory and honor to the Holy One of Israel, blessed is He!
"'For behold, days are coming,' declares the Lord, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The Lord says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'" Jeremiah 30:3
