vVsiting"The Old Town Square, Wencesles Square at Christmas time is on the bucket list of my niece.Shes recovering from non Hogdkins Lymphoma with a very good prognosis.so I am accompanying her this Christmas.to Prague.
Ive been think about this for a while. Is China able to these refugees on the condition they get repatriated when stability returns to Syria.?
Here, refugees are housed in a center for however long it takes to familiarise them on living and working ini NZ.
China is supposed to have these unoccupied cities, one could put the refugees in and in return they can act as caretakers of the city.

Best wishes to your niece and our prayers for her from here in Idaho.
One of my brothers died from Lymphoma about 12 years ago. He was diagnosed at stage four with only six months to live...but he fought for three years. Not a day passes that I do not miss him...along with my Mom and dad, and my oldest brother who died three years ago from ALS>
Again, our sincere best wishes to your niece and prayers up for all of you.
Thankyou.Its been a year since she finished her first chemo and radio therapy. She was diagnosed with stage one I .So now she is going to experience her first White Xmas with a real Christmas atmosphere.
Christmas does not feel the same in Summer and all the cities in nz are too miserly with money to spend on decent decorations.

We had a real tragedy near my home town last weekend. Near Council, Idaho, a rancher, Jack Yantis, was called to come and take care of one of his bulls that had been hit on US Highway 95, which passes by his property,
Jack raises bulls. The area there is "Open Range," meaning that the vehicle drivers are responsible to avoid live stock on or near the road.
Anyhow, a prize bull had been hit and had its leg shattered. Read what happened at the following site I set up for Jack and what happened to him late last night:
A terrible tragedy and senseless loss of a good man. Jack was 62 years old, a life-long rancher who was raised in Council.
I am sure these deputies did not start the day, or go to that accident scene with the idea that they were going to kill a rancher. I know many Sheriff's deputies around here and most all of them are good people, trying to do a hard job as best they can.
In this case, when the Rancher went to put the bull down...and the deputies had asked him through their dispatch to come down and take care of it...apparently one of the officers reacted badly to the site of the rifle, and when it discharged, immediately shot Jack...and his partner, seeing this, joined in.
I certainly think that negligence or over reaction cost this man his life.
I believe that one or both of these officers are going to lose their jobs and probably be convicted over this. There will definitely be a large wrongful death suite as well.
Sad to see this happen.
A lot more details at the site above from eyewitnesses who saw it all happen. The wife (who suffered a heart attack when this happened), a nephew, a friend of the family, and another bystander all tell pretty much the same story.
To his credit, the local Sheriff, Ryan Zollman, immediately turned this over to the Idaho State Troopers and the Idaho State Attorney General's office for investigation.

So sad.Police officers these days must be working under high stress levels for that to happen.
I remember a old timer sole policeman of a small country town had to confront a man hold up in his home with a semi automatic and all he had was a antiquated revolver. The man was on the porch with the rifle pointed in his general direction.He called out to the man to throw down the rifle.after what seemed like a long time and eyeballing the man complied.
The policeman told me he had the shakes himself and I think he said the trigger on his revolver had a ten pound pull weight?and he reckons he must have 9 on it.

Just horrible, lots of LEOs are under the gun, and feel extremely paranoid and rightfully so after many incidents such as Ferguson, MO. where a young man attempted to kill an LEO, in turn the LEO shot him, as he was leaving he became enraged and returned to finish the LEO who was forced to put him down!
In the aftermath Obama and his proxy Eric Holder AG made trips to MO. further inciting riots and nightly burning of the town of Ferguson.The Police Chief was forced to resign, and AG Holder punished and sanctioned to local PD for supposedly racist behavior? Just giving further aid and comfort to the killers family and like minded sociopaths.
This type of tragedy is a natural outgrowth of the hatred that Obama and Holder have ginned up against local LEOs, and this poor rancher paid with his life for this racial incitement. This has spread to the campus on many levels, and Mo State University is the latest racial attack on white people, by the whiney football players and liberals??
This disgusts me on so many levels, I lived through the 60s, where both blacks and whites suffered through the govts many "solutions" during "integration", and yes I was attacked, and my ball glove and bat taken by a group of fellow students, as well as countless intimidating incidents, the High School across town had beatings and robberies in the hallways as administrators and teachers lost control of their school.
Well, we are getting our first measurable snow this morning.
We had 31 degrees and snow, and it has covered the ground wih an inch or two.
Slush on the roads.
It will all melt by noon...but it is a start and we can use the moisture that will stay in the mountains.
