Best to get out the lavender Ruth!!

</topic I also found another use for it, if you wear lavender lotion or body spray (which I just got) men stop you in the stores and ask what you're wearing. (none were terrorists either)

It's supposed to be "old GIRL".

The more the birthdays passed, the younger inside. That's my understanding! I'm officially in my second childhood, and it's a lot happier than the first!

(Remember the saying, "It's never too late to have a happy childhood"?)

It's just the vehicle that ages, the soul is eternally young.

The following is info. on the connection between Philadelphia's, Mayor Street and a Muslim cleric.....fraud and connections to city contracts including the airport.

Wife of Muslim Cleric Indicted in Federal Fraud Probe

Posted on Wed, Jun. 02, 2004 By George Anastasia, Maria Panaritis and Nancy Phillips INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS

Federal prosecutors today announced the first indictments linked to the sprawling probe of political corruption in Philadelphia City Hall.

Faridah Ali, 54, the wife of Imam Shamsud-din Ali, was named in a 28-count indictment charging her and others with fraud in connection with state-funded adult education programs at Sister Clara Muhammad School in West Philadelphia from 1999 to 2001.

The alleged scam surfaced several years ago as the FBI monitored wiretaps of the imam's home and cellular telephones - the same wiretaps that unexpectedly prompted them to launch the federal corruption probe.

Today's indictment, while unrelated to corruption, nonetheless strikes very close to home. Targeting Ali's wife and two step-children among others, it signals that federal authorities are beginning to move forward with prosecuting their far-flung investigation, which began about three years ago.

Shamsud-din Ali, the leader of the mosque that houses the Sister Clara school, was not named in the indictment but remains a focus of investigators. It was while monitoring the imam's telephone conversations with suspected drug dealers in 2001 that the FBI also heard talk of potentially rigged city contracts, prompting them to launch the broad corruption probe that has come to envelope city officials. Those same wiretaps also revealed the alleged scam outlined in yesterday's indictment.

In a news conference today, U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan did not discuss the case's links to the corruption probe, focusing instead on the alleged misuse of nearly $250,000 in Pennsylvania Department of Education funds for no-show classes and ghost teachers........

.....Although the corruption probe was launched three years ago, it did not become public until October 7, when an FBI listening device was found inside the office of Mayor Street. The next day, the FBI raided Ali's Melrose Park home and the Mount Airy office where he and his wife run several businesses, including a handful with city contracts.

Feds Accidentally Reveal Details of Phone Taps in Philadelphia Probe

Copyright © 2004 AP Online This story was published Tuesday, May 4th, 2004 By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Federal authorities inadvertently disclosed secret details of an investigation into alleged corruption in Philadelphia when they posted information about wiretapping in the case on a court Web site.

For several hours Friday, the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts included what was supposed to have been sealed information about the probe in an annual public report on government surveillance. A revised report, without the confidential information, was released Tuesday.

The original report gave the names of the federal judges who authorized the wiretaps, and the dates they were placed. It indicated that some of the taps had been placed as part of a racketeering investigation, and noted that more than 5,000 "incriminating intercepts" were made during the period when law enforcement agents were listening in.

The document did not contain the names of the people whose phones were tapped, but the information could be ascertained by matching dates on tapes listed in the document with dates on letters sent by prosecutors to people whose conversations were recorded. The two-year investigation came to light Oct. 7, when police discovered an FBI bug that had been placed in the City Hall office of Mayor John F. Street.

Legal documents subsequently confirmed that federal agents had also tapped the phones of the city's treasurer, an administrator at Philadelphia International Airport, an attorney who raised money for Street's campaign, and a Muslim leader who owns a company that held city contracts.

Street and the others involved have denied any wrongdoing.... Link to Article

Yes, I know about the lost bombs.

But also feel that it may have a more simple meaning.

A broken arrow, I would think might mean something along the
lines of the Nam meaning.

To a Native American, it might have meant the same, "Need help", follow the arrow.

My thought is that the simpler message may be closer to what was intended.......But I am also aware of the bombs as a possible threat.

There are a lot of Indians in Georgia, so it fits in my mind.

And I may be completely wrong, won't be the first time.

Thus, I see it also as a calling of the terrorists, that now is the time to help and complete the war/plan.

Sending someone an arrow was (as I recall) a call to war, or as they are doing now a threat of war.

I am sorry that I didn't pay more attention to my Indian Heritage in the past years.

Jersey:

Reference sheltering in place for a radiation emergency here are a few pointers ( this is my specialty area)

1) Shelter room should be centrally located in the house and have the fewest windows.

2) Store emergency supplies in your designated room. Stock everything in advance, because emergencies happen quickly/

3) Check supplies, batteries, etc every six months and replace consumables as needed. Keep a battery powered radio-television in your shelter to hear public health announcements as they happen.

4) Drill the kids on how to shelter. Do not use items from your emergency stores in your shelter room.

5) Food, water, clothing, and shoes for a minumum of three days.



Leave clothing and shoes outside. Take a shower immediately upon entering the home to reduce skin contamination.

Shower and wash your body with soap and water. Use a stiff brush or lava soap if you need to to remove particle contamination.

Removing clothing will eliminate 90% of radioactive contamination. If you keep your clothing on, you will eventually develop severe skin burns if you are contaminated.

Turn off fans, air conditioners, and anything that brings air in from the outside. Close and lock all windows and doors, and close fireplace dampers.

When you move to your shelter, use duct tape and plastic sheeting to seal any doors, windows, or vents for a short period of time.

Listen to your radio for instructions

Within a few hours, you should remove the plastic and duct tape and ventilate the room. Suffocation could occur if you keep the shelter tightly sealed for more than a few hours.

Keep your radio tuned to an emergency response network at all times for updates on the situation.

The announcers will provide information about when you may leave your shelter and whether you need to take other emergency measures.


If you need to evacuate, you will be given directions to the nearest evacuation center, where you will undergo decontamination and given shelter. Police, fire, National Guard will likely evacuate you. If its bad enough to evacuate people, go without delay.

Remember a simple formula: time x distance x shielding.

The amount of time you spend in a contaminated area, the distance from the source, and the shielding between you and the source determines your exposure. Always try to place something between you and the source.
