I know...I know....all of my North American readers are scratching their heads wondering "isn't she a little late?" "that was months ago!"

It is actually Father's Day here in Australia today. And, as I dug a little deeper, I found that this occasion is celebrated on over 20 different dates depending upon where in this great big world you live.

Regardless of the date, the sentiment is the same.....to all the fabulous Dad's out there, especially alI those I know, enjoy your special day. If any of you would like to share your favourite Father's Day memory, I'd love to hear them...why not leave a comment?

Happy Father's Day, Chris.....and to the very best Dad on the planet, Happy Father's Day Dad....I love you!

More gay rights in Australia

followthatmouse — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:29:58 +0000

Sydney Star Observer reports on the new equality bill being introduced in the Australian Parliament which will extend rights to gay men and lesbians in the fields of Medicare, veteran’s pensions, workers’ compensation and educational assistance.

“The changes will make a practical difference to the lives of a group of our fellow Australians who have suffered discrimination for far too long. Importantly, the reforms will ensure children are not discriminated against because of the structure of their family,” said Australian Attorney-General Robert McClelland.

'The Senate is currently considering equality bills covering Commonwealth superannuation, spouse immunity from testifying in court, and allowing same-sex and de facto couples to access the Federal Family Court for financial matters during a breakup,' reports the SSO.

Global economy woes shake markets

Global economy woes shake markets

Japanese shares felt the force of the economic uncertainty

Fears about a global economic slowdown, heightened by worsening US job figures, have continued to undermine stock markets around the world.

London's FTSE 100 index lost 2.3% - taking its weekly decline to 7% - its biggest since July 2002.

Markets in Paris and Frankfurt fell by 2.5% as economy concerns spread.

On Wall Street the Dow Jones index clawed back early losses to edge higher despite figures showing the US economy shed 84,000 jobs last month.

But the benchmark US index still had its worst week since May.

Earlier, Japan's main share index fell nearly 3% while markets in Hong Kong, China, Australia and India all slid 2%.

'Ugly' data

The US labor market figures - which showed the unemployment rate rising to 6.1% - were a further jolt to investors who have had to swallow a slew of poor economic data in recent days.

Economists had been expecting 75,000 jobs to be lost while the government also revised upwards.

"This was an ugly number that pretty much confirms that our economy continues to trend downward," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of Harris Private Bank.

"This just knocks the legs out of any hope of seeing much economic improvement right now."

'Uncertainty'

Amid the uncertainty, few investors are willing to buy

Masayuki Otani, Securities Japan

The FTSE 100 closed down 2.3% at 5,240.70 points. The last time it lost so much value in a week was more than six years ago in the wake of financial scandals such as Enron and WorldCom.

Markets in Paris and Frankfurt continued their recent downward trend, both the Cac-40 index and the Dax-30 dropping about 2.5%.

The Dow Jones index, which lost 3% on Thursday, rose 32.73 points, or 0.3% to 11,220.96, but still ended down 2.8% on the week.

"Given the fact we were down so much yesterday we're seeing a bit of a reflex rally with investors wanting to take advantages of some of the bargains," said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at Morgan Asset Management.

The Nasdaq index slipped 3.16 points, or 0.1% to 2,255.88, ending the week 4.7% lower.

Earlier Japan's benchmark Nikkei index fell 361.54 points to 12,196.12 amid a widespread sell-off of shares in Asia.

The Hang Seng index fell more than 3% in Hong Kong while markets also fell sharply in China, Australia and India.

"Amid the uncertainty, few investors are willing to buy," said Masayuki, Otani, chief market analyst at Securities Japan.

"Several bad things happened at once," he added, explaining the fall.

Gloom

Worries about inflation have prevented central banks in Europe from cutting interest rates to help forestall a slowdown.

But analysts believe this could change soon with economic forecasts across Europe looking increasingly gloomy.

The European Central Bank cut its 2009 growth forecast from 1.5% to 1.2% on Thursday while the UK economy stalled in the second quarter.

In a separate development, the Russian rouble fell against the dollar a day after Russia's central bank intervened to support the currency amid concerns about a flight of foreign capital after the conflict with Georgia.

The central bank sold up to $4bn in reserves, the Financial Times reported, after the rouble slipped to its lowest level since February 2007.

Overpopulation: The plan to poison South East Asia

(Sejak saya mempelajari hubungan internasional, saya tidak pernah menaruh harapan baik pada tetangga kita yang satu ini. Pun juga terkait dengan pergantian rezimnya. Coba cek ke situs Partai Buruh. Australia berusaha mendapatkan F-22 dari AS untuk menandingi Sukhoi-Sukhoi Asia Tenggara)

Burnet's solution: The plan to poison South East Asia

By Brendan Nicholson, Poltical Correspondent
The Age, 09/03/02

World-famous microbiologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet, the Nobel prize winner revered as Australia's greatest medical research scientist, secretly urged the government to develop biological weapons for use against Indonesia and other "overpopulated" countries of South-East Asia.

The revelation is contained in top-secret files declassified by the National Archives of Australia, despite resistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Sir Macfarlane recommended in a secret report in 1947 that biological and chemical weapons should be developed to target food crops and spread infectious diseases.

His key advisory role on biological warfare was uncovered by Canberra historian Philip Dorling in the National Archives in 1998.

The department initially blocked release of the material on the basis it would damage Australia's international relations. Dr Dorling sought a review and the material was finally released to him late last year.

The files include a comprehensive memo Sir Macfarlane wrote for the Defence Department in 1947 in which he said Australia should develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres.

"Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions," Sir Macfarlane said.

The Victorian-born immunologist, who headed the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, won the Nobel prize for medicine in 1960. He died in 1985 but his theories on immunity and "clonal selection" provided the basis for modern biotechnology and genetic engineering.

On December 24, 1946, the secretary of the Department of Defence, F.G. Shedden, wrote to Macfarlane Burnet saying Australia could not ignore the fact that many countries were conducting intense research on biological warfare and inviting him to a meeting of top military officers to discuss the question.

The minutes of a meeting in January, 1947, reveal that Sir Macfarlane argued that Australia's temperate climate could give it a significant military advantage.

"The main contribution of local research so far as Australia is concerned might be to study intensively the possibilities of biological warfare in the tropics against troops and civil populations at a relatively low level of hygiene and with correspondingly high resistance to the common infectious diseases," he told the meeting.

In September, 1947, Sir Macfarlane was invited to join a chemical and biological warfare subcommittee of the New Weapons and Equipment Development Committee.

He prepared a secret report titled Note on War from a Biological Angle suggesting that biological warfare could be a powerful weapon to help defend a thinly populated Australia.

Sir Macfarlane also urged the government to encourage universities to research those branches of biological science that had a special bearing on biological warfare.

A clinically scientific approach is evident in a note he wrote in June, 1948.

He said a successful attack with a microbiological agent on a large population would have such a devastating impact that its use was extremely unlikely while both sides were capable of retaliation.

"The main strategic use of biological warfare may well be to administer the coup de grace to a virtually defeated enemy and compel surrender in the same way that the atomic bomb served in 1945.

"Its use has the tremendous advantage of not destroying the enemy's industrial potential which can then be taken over intact.

"Overt biological warfare might be used to enforce surrender by psychological rather than direct destructive measures."

The minutes of a meeting at Melbourne's Victoria Barracks in 1948 noted that Sir Macfarlane "was of the opinion that if Australia undertakes work in this field it should be on the tropical offensive side rather than the defensive. There was very little known about biological attack on tropical crops."

After visiting the UK in 1950 and examining the British chemical and biological warfare research effort, Sir Macfarlane told the committee that the initiation of epidemics among enemy populations had usually been discarded as a means of waging war because it was likely to rebound on the user.

"In a country of low sanitation the introduction of an exotic intestinal pathogen, e.g. by water contamination, might initiate widespread dissemination," he said.

"Introduction of yellow fever into a country with appropriate mosquito vectors might build up into a disabling epidemic before control measures were established."

The subcommittee recommended that "the possibilities of an attack on the food supplies of S-E Asia and Indonesia using B.W. agents should be considered by a small study group".

It 1951 it recommended that "a panel reporting to the chemical and biological warfare subcommittee should be authorised to report on the offensive potentiality of biological agents likely to be effective against the local food supplies of South-East Asia and Indonesia".

Dr Dorling said that while Sir Macfarlane was a great Australian he was also a product of times when many Australians held deep fears about more populous Asian countries.

He said the Menzies government was more interested in trying to acquire nuclear weapons. "Fortunately this also proved impracticable and Australia never acquired a weapon of mass destruction."

The secretary of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies, Peter French, said he had not yet seen the files but the whole notion of biological warfare was something that Australian scientists would not be comfortable with today. "Viewed through today's eyes it is clearly an abhorrent suggestion," Dr French said.

Nazy on Arena II

10.12.1997 new capital Astana appeared in Kazakhstan. What is Astana?

A three-day forum on religious freedom and tolerance bfrom rings together more than 40 national delegations and as many international spiritual leaders in the capital of Kazakhstan… ….. 05.07.2005. Nazarbayev proposed to names 2006 y. as Puszkins year in Kazakhstan and Abaj year in Russia..04.04.2006. in Moskow was open Abajs bust. It means that Russia has a lie from Kazakhstan. Proposition was official - from Nazarbayev for Putin. In Russia such proposition m eans to present lie each other. I was surprised very much when see the information that Abajs bust 15.10.2007 was open in Iran’s capital, near National Library.Interesting moment - do Iranians know that they have the lie from Kazakhstan? Or may be nobody translated what does it mean?

Where is my own father? Father in Rome? Where is his money? Where is his business? Who answer for that?

My own father had own brother Stanislaw. Where is my own father? Picture of my own father in Rome was Jan Paul II (Giovanni Paolo II). Name of my own father is Jan, Joann, Ivan, Giovanni. But who was Paul( Pavel)? And who was the double of my own father? Jan Paul II died 2.04.2005. My own mother Dora was born 2.04.1925. Jan Paul II died in my own mother’s birthday! If she would be a life she would have 80 years. Who knows what does it mean?

I am the daughter of the man, whose face is identical to Joann Paul II. In Italy he is known as Tata Giovanni (Father Giovanni). He lived in Rome and worked in the USA. My name is Anna Kristina Aleksandra. I was born in Italy. And had a catholic cross in Snt. Anna Church in Vatican. My own grandfathers name is Naum. He lived in Italy. But worked in USA.His daughter Dora was my own mother. She died when I was a little - 3 y.o.

My own grandfather Naum lived in Italy. But has oil and gas business in Russia. Well known Italian-Russian project 50:50.

Jan Paul II became Pope (Father ) in Rome 16.10.78.

Queen Elizabeth and her husband visited to Lithuania (16.10.2006-18.10.2006)

Why guests from UK decided to visit Lithuania such day?

Nazarbayev visited United Kingdom 20.11.2006. And 23.11.2006 in London died Aleksandr Litvinenko (Litva-Lithuania). His face was look like the face of russian moscow journalist living in Lithuania Vladimir Vladimirovich Killer. Not far from death Litvinenko look like Bondarenko’s son.His wife Marina Litvinenko have a face of my friend from the clinics when I have unical operations Irina Raisova. Irina Raisa’s daughter. Gorbacheva? Many years ago Irina Raisova look like Marina Berlusconi. Aleksandr Litvinenko was a friend of Berezovskiy. Berezovskiy is not only surname of Boris Abramovich but is the name of gold place near Ekaterinburg. So, who need my grandfather’s Naum gold so much that want to lie,to kill and to have agression against Muslims countries? Andrey Lugovoi have a surname as Lugovaia village when many years ago Sergey Lopatinskiy’s own mother was born. What does it means?

As I told in Vilnius I had black dog Big Royal Poodle - From Charly Gert. Who know what does it mean? And what Elizabeth and her husband needed from me? After theirs’ visit 21.10.2006 Hubertas Grusnys was killed, he was owner of radio stations and Lithuanian millionaire, whose radio Lietus a week before that told about poisoning with toxicoids me and my son in our flat.

Everybody knows that some months ago 12.02. 2008 Mr. Patarkachishvili was killed in London.
If you want to inform world that at the gold deposit place you put stalemate what you do? If you want to tell that there is no stalemate and kill somebody at the place of gold deposit, what you do then? One told that near gold deposit there is put stalemate, other answered that there is no stalemate. Mr. Berezovskij, since which time you have got such surname, since which time you have a friend near you with the surname Stalemate (Patarkachishvili?) Everybody knows that Mr. Patarkachishvili controlled Moscow TV ORT. Now Dariga Nazarbajeva controlls Moscow TV ORT .

In Lithuania for my financing and living my own father gave 10% shares of AO LUKOIL company to the oil company AB MAZEIKU NAFTA. For my financing in Lithuania were responsible A.Brazauskas, B.Lubys (as everybody know Mr. Lubys is a friend of Mr. Nazarbajev), G.Chapanidze, V.Shkil.

Mr. G.Chapanidze is in jail since 1996-1997. I was not financed at all. And didn’t ask nobody to sale or to present my finances or shares to anybody.

In 19.8.1995 in Omsk died someone Ivan (Jan,Giovanni, Ioann) Lickevich. Do you know what does Lickevich means in polish? This is translated as calculate. What and whom calculated Lickevich? Ivan Lickevich was the director of the Omsk oil refinery. In 3.7.2000 Gediminas Kesus died with his son. They were killed both. Gediminas Kesus was the director of the Mazeiku oil refinery. When he was killed in Lithuanian newspapers published information – some documents Gediminas Kesus put into some England bank.

What the documents it were? Who started to kill the directors of oil refineries and started putting the money into his own pockets? My money. In such way Lukoil, Mazeiku Nafta (Lithuania), Plock refinery (Poland) go for another hands. Rats hands.

In ex Soviet Union was well known international journalist Cyprus Mazeika. Did director of Mazeiku Nafta Gediminas Kesus transfer my money to Cyprus? 20.2.2003 Cyprus Mazeika told that he is director of Mr. Lubys’ media holding ACHEMA. Friend of Nazarbaev Bronislovas Lubys know where is my money?

So, who was hunting my money and who killed Gediminas Kesus? Where is that money now? Why nobody from Cyprus did not inform me about that finance?

Petras Liubertas and K’ from agency of ex-police workers with real documents of real policeman went to England with looking for Gediminas Kesus documents. What they afraid? They killed Kesus?

And what contacts those peoples had with Mazeiku Nafta and my own shares of Lukoil? What that interesants do in oil and gas business of my own father? Liubertas’ wife Tatiana through third person organized me very interesting credit- they gave me my own money which they robbed, with 24% and with Lombard of my own flat. When I maked from my own simple flat small beautefull palace they started again savaging attacks against me, blocked selling of the reconstructed flat, arrested my son and do some other very interesting things.

Mr. Liubertas, what happened with my own flat now? Address of my own flat was Ukmerges 299 -60 in Vilnius. They decided to change address! When I have in Poland fascists attacks against me in that days in Vilnius 25.04.2007 Ukmerges change its name and my house changed its number !

Now it is S.Neries str. 13. What is it? Where is my own flat now? Where is my own money? Who must pay for all that savages and fascists things? And where is my own father’s money? And where is his oil business that he left in Lithuania? Where is my Cyprus money?

When life became extremely hard, I decided to publish my ads in the internet - I decided to get married. I took myself name Dalia, communicated with person named Bill. Then countries and continents happily looked film “Kill Bill” and “Kill Bill 2″. All the hell was taken as if from my life. Except, I wasn’t any agent but stupid short-leg fem reading books. And I came out from death not only but with my younger son. It was in Moletai region in October 2002.

Deputy here in Moletai region in that time - was Prunskiene.

Savage attack was not so far from well known basketball man Sharunas Marciulionis village.

11.03.2008 Poland visited Hosni Said Mubarak. 14.03.2008 we were proposed to leave Poland. Interesting, the same day, year ago 11.03.2007 Nazarbaev met with Hosney Mubarak in Egypt.
02.06.2008 Hosney Mubarak met with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Berlusconi and others in Rome. I was in Italy in Rome in that days.

02.06.2008 in air-crash incident appeared where younger brother of president Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed. Who knows what is it?02.06.1953. someone LiLibet became Queen of UK.But really is that Queen in the UK throne now? It is another face. May be Lily do some plastics operations? Or since 1985 on UK throne seats down another women? In 1998 that queen once more changed her face. From that time in UK throne everybody can see not only very old women , but women which have another mouse and teeth. As monkey.The own daughter of the last Knight has not monkeys fase. Who seat down in the UK throne now? Look at her foto with Nazarbaev. Is it the QUEEN? Or may be it is the communist party great leader? Why were killed Dodi Al Fayed and Diana Spenser ?They died 31.08.1997. They crushed in tonnele Alma (allhave ).What is it?And who seat down on the throne after that killing?

02.11.2004 President of Arab Emirates Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan died.

Why father and son both died at “2nd” date?

10.06.2000 His excellency Hafez Assad President of Syria died. Some months later his son get married to woman who had close contacts with the United Kingdom.

14.11.1937 was born King of Jordan Hussein. 7.02.1999 King of Jordan Hussein was died. Who found that information about Hussein family and theirs daughter Aleksandra? Who killed King of Jordan?

In February and March 2003, Primakov visited Iraq and talked with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, as a special representative of President Vladimir Putin. He brought to Baghdad a message from Putin to call for Saddam to resign voluntarily.

Yevgenij Primakov

May be Primakov asking about my own grandfather’s Naum gold? As everybody know Primakov in 90-th took a credit in Kuwait. There were no money after 1991 in ex Soviet Union. Is it the only one reason why Kuwait desided to take oil from some Iraq’s place and had a war conflict with Iraq? May be Kuwait believe that Hussein dont return for Primakov Primakov’s gold? But is it Primakov’s gold?

May be it is my own grandfather’s Naum gold? How do you think, Mr.Primakov?

15.01.2006. in Saudi Arabia Sheik Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah, the soft-spoken emir of Kuwait who ruled the oil-rich country for 28 years through the tumult of the Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein’s armies in 1990, died early Sunday morning, the Kuwaiti Royal Court announced.

Sheik Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah.

The emir, 79, had been ailing from a serious brain hemorrhage in 2001, had fallen out of public sight and was a virtual invalid in his final days.

So, whom Mr.Primakov cheated in Kuwait? What he said about where the financial receiver gone?

And how really died my own grandfather Naum?

Mr. Berlusconi, answer me, please!

Who should liked my money so much that I wasn’t even shown graves of my own grandfather Naum and own mother Dora in Italy. Nobody told me where is my own house which I knew as “Swallow’s nest” in Rome.

Mr. Napolitano ignored my ask.

What is the reason? My own grandfather’s Naum Gold ?

Fascists attacks against me started 3 weeks after twin-towers in the USA were ruined.

They were ruined in 11.09.2001. I was born in 11.06 - month of twins-Gemini. More, the only citizen of Lithuania died in that crush, who was constantly living and working in the USA in twin-towers Jelena-Helen Gavriushina-Melnichenko - her mother was director of the school where my children got education. Director of the school Gavriushina was born 6th of June.

I had a friend in my childhood. Vladimir Vladimirovich Gaper. I don’t know what he gapped but know that he was born 6th of June. I know as all people of all countries some - one Vladimir Vladimirovich. Putin. But who is that my friend born 6th of June? I found that one. In the USA in Las Vegas. Kerkor Kerkorian.
What does it mean? Putin - is Kerkorian’s friend ?

Interesting, that Putin had a meeting with Jan Paul II 06.06.2000.
In Kerkorian’s birthday. What does it mean?

By the way Kerkor Kerkorian was born 6.06.1917, Ludmila Putina was born 6.01.1958, Nursultan Nazarbaev was born 6.07.1940, Paolo Berlusconi was born 6.12.1949.

Some years ago Kerkor Kerkorian was a hero of big scandal -he run over of courts proving that he is sterilized and can not have a daughter and child at all. Still, he was forced to pay and financed left daughter.

Interesting that Bill Clinton had a nickname fly. After exact translating to Russian this mean to fly - as a pilot, a flyer. Manager was a pilot, a flyer. Why Bill Clinton, you ask? If bill - is billion, who cleaned billions then? Do you remember what is Bill Clinton wife’s name? Hillary Clinton. What is hillary clinton? Hi-Larry-Cleaner. Hello, Larisa who got in fly and cleaned… understand, yes?

As everybody knows Monica samille lewinski goes for Bill Clinton 28.2.1997. In adopting family son Sergey Lopatinskiy who with his wife Natalia Lopatinskaya robbed me, was born 28.2.1962.

Now the most important question, why for using his fly manager payed with my money to monica lewinski or Hi-Larry-Cleaner? If you want to pay for services you should pay with your money not with my own parent’s. Or he mixed up his fly with the same my own father’s thing ?

Mr. Kerkorian, where is my money?

Such picture about where my money gone and who helped to go into such hands, paid Democratic Party of USA.

In July 1997 Democratic Party of USA helped Fridman to win tender and get over TNK. Now in company THK became to rule Mr. Friedman. And what we can see now? His war with Robert Dudley. With British Petroleum. For controlling the Tumen oil and gas deposits place of birth and business of my own father.

Who did not pay me my money all those years, then?

What Friedman and British Petroleum do in my own farther’s business? They robbed me?

After reading Kerkor Kerkorian’s biography I saw that Kerkorian owned MGM hotel, casino blown 21.11.1980. Interesting, that all those digits are digits of mine and my children’s dates of birth. More, even ID’s are the same. That friend was my own father’s and own grandfather’s manager? Why then the property wasn’t returned to me?

Linda Kerkorian Kimper now is a “heiress” of MGM complex. Is she really owner? How she became heiress? Her “father” was manager of that complex but not the owner. He adopted her. Who know how translate her very interesting surname? Linda Kerkorian after marriage has interesting surname- Forthemrobbed ( Kimper). From what time she has that surname?

Interesting , that Kerkor by himself has interesting surname too-KerkreproveAn’n ( kerkorian). Mr. Kerkorian, from what time you has such beautiful surname?

My own grandfather and own father organized my life in such way for me to know who and what.

There was Marina HoDOROf in my class at school. Since last time I started to pay attention for any words, which contains my own mother’s name. Marina’s parents – Paull HoDOROf and mother Regina from Jiosif. Regina worked at radio in Yekaterinburg. Paull at some plant. Some man named Paul killed my own mother? Marina not only was with me at school, but finished university for journalism with me also. After graduation she was diverted to Alma-ata, Kazahstan. Then she married kazahian, bore him two daughters. Who knows what does it mean? Nazarbaev? Mr. Nazarbaev, where is my own grandfather’s and father’s business? Oil and gas.

Where is my money, Mr. Nazarbaev?

All attacks against me started 2.10.2001. -3 weeks after twin-towers in the USA were ruined .

They were ruined in 11.09.2001.

It is birthday of some Larisa Lobova (Oleg Lobov - ex-secretary of russian Defence special committee).

By the way Oleg Lobov was born 7.09.37, Vladimir Putin -7.10.52. What does it mean?

Lobov helps Putin to be a manager?

I was born in 11.06 - month of twins-Gemini.

More, the only citizen of Lithuania died in that crush, who was constantly living and working in the USA in twin-towers Jelena-Helen Gavriushina-Melnichenko - her mother was director of the school where my children got education. Jelena Gavriushina mother was born 6 June as Mr. Kerkorian. What does it mean? Kerkorian controlled me and my children and for that controlling used director of the school and her daughter?

When I lived in Freesk ( Wolsk ) I have a friend - my friend Arkadij Chainy from Wolsk had curious second name - Aaron’s son. The name of father of pilot-manager was Aaron. And who knows what all does it mean? Why they forgot to return me property, but do not forget to organize me attacks?

7.09.2006 I loudly got idea why russian oligarh Arkadij Wolskij had such recognizable for me name, he disappeared after two days. 9.09.2006 he died. Did he became ashamed, that he didn’t complete my own father’s ask, Ivan’s (John’s, Joann’s), who’s second name after father he had got, or someone didn’t want very much, that Arkadij Wolskij would became informed, that he was frauded, and instead of Father’s daughter shew him other woman, making swapping? When I desided that Mr.Primakov as a friend of Arkadij Wolskij and soviet spy could know more than Wolskij he dont want to die. Mr. Primakov robbed me too?

In chain with Wolskij was Ariel Sharon. In the Knesset, he was member of the Foreign Affairs and Defence committee from (1990-1992) and Chairman of the committee overseeing Jewish immigration from the USSR. What desinformation soviet immigrants present to him? Israeli soldiers formally left Gaza on 11.09.2005 (four years later when twin - towers in USA where ruined) when Sharon was Prime Minister of Israel. Sharon was hospitalized on 18.12. 2005 after suffering a minor ischemic stroke.
Sharon has undergone a series of subsequent surgeries leading to his comatose state.

What should be tricked out with Israel and for him to jump up to his good neighboor to war? What are the role of ex soviet agents living now in Israel in all that story?

Primakov was born 29.10.1929. Berlusconi was born 29. 09.1936. Who know what does it mean? John Kennedy was born 29. 05.1917. John Kennedy was my own grandfather Naum political project. So, who killed Kennedy? Who killed my own grandfather Naum? Who robbed him and robbed me? Who are those freaks?

I demand to change my managers and carers! I want to change place of living and I look for a country which could accept me and defend me.

Since 2001-2007 In Lithuania I have real fascism against me and my son.Since October of 2001 till 2007 all the force of repressing machine was put on us. I have savage fascism in
Lithuania in my own flat and in my own life and my son’s life. We came out of there on our four. We have total control. Causes - multi billion assets in-heritage from my own relatives.

Since 1993 year I was pressed financially at first, I lived with my son and we have 60-100$ for month. And even it is well known that a person is dead without money, my attackers didn’t stop - since 2001 year I had seven savage attacks on me on a territory of Lithuania - was poisoned with HCl, toxicoids, I was systematically trivially beaten, I had a traffic accident - was hit by a car on the pedestrians on green light for me, poisoned with hallucinogens and with my son pushed out to bogs in winter, where we have spent 3 nights.It was such a savage and horror, which has no words to describe. I was under personal real genocide there.

In 2004 y. the David wrote me that document about me was stolen he found and returned it to it’s place. Who could steal that document and who ignores it’s acting during 4 years?

I know that everything my relatives had they left as inheritage to me. I need to find, who has management of it in his hands, and which is the state of property and assets. I don,t know how my identity could be hidden, because I have unique right leg, which was disfigured from birth. This is my unique sign, nobody could be mistaken normally in my identification.

Business of my own grandfather was oil and gas, casino and hotels of Las-Vegas. Business of my own grandfather Naum was transport. Own father’s too. Who know what does it mean? Where is that transport now in whose hands?

During 10 years I was under strong financial pressing. And lived with my younger son for 60 dollars per month. Who became a manager and did that?

I lived with adopting family in Yekaterinburg - the place of killing Royal Romanov family. Address was Moskowskaya street 9-31. In Moskovskaya street 9-20 lives Hussein family with daughter Aleksandra. My real name is Anna-Kristina-Aleksandra. What does it means? Who found that information? Who really has aggression against Muslims countries and against Iraq and Hussein? I know that my own grandfather Naum was all Muslims’ friend. And when he invested his money in Russia he took gold as financial guarantee. May be in Iraq and near Hussein my enemies searching that gold?

So, who need my grandfather’s Naum gold so much that want to lie, to kill and to have aggression against Muslims countries?
What should be tricked out with Israel and for him to jump up to his good neighbor to war? What are the role of ex soviet agents living now in Israel in all that story?

So, whom Mr.Primakov cheated in Kuwait? What he said about where the financial receiver gone?

And how really died my own grandfather Naum?

Mr. Berlusconi, answer me, please!

What is the reason? My own grandfather’s Naum Gold ?

I know that part of finances former soviet agents transferred to someone in England. It is very interesting question why Berezovskij and Abramovich are grazing in England?
In Vilnius I had black dog - Big Royal Poodle - S Charly Gert. Who know what does it mean? Who is that my Big black Royal Poodle?

How it is connected with Friedman and his business with British Petroleum? Friedman in 2003 sold half of his Alfa group’s oil subsidiary Tumen Oil to BP for $6.15 billion, so far the biggest foreign investment ever in a Russian company. They have 50:50. As my own grandfather Naum had in oil and gas Italian -Russian project. Why they wanted to double his project?

British Petroleum - is the biggest oil supplier in the USA and third part of it owes Americans. My be USA need my own grandfather’s Naum money, gold and business too?

How it is connected with information that I have black dog Big Royal Poodle with name - From Charly Gert. Who is that my Big black Royal Poodle Charley? What I must get from him?

I have personal individual characteristic by which I can be easily identified - my right leg was disfigured while my mother was pregnant, and I was born with unique diagnosis. After many specific medical operations, my leg became a passport which couldn,t be forged.I am the only child of my own father and the only inheritor. Of my own grandfather Naum. Own mother Dora.I did not present nor business nor money for nobody, I did not asking that peoples to be the managers. Who answer for all of that?

I need all my money. Please, help them to return all my money. Who help to return - 50% of returning sum. IBAN: PL69 1440 1228 0000 0000 0403 0672, SWIFT BIC NDEAPLP2. This is for those who robbed me and helped to robb me.

Ancient Free Gardeners are blooming!

melbournezene — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:32:04 +0000

Ancient Free Gardeners has been green-thumbing around the traps of Melbourne's live scene for a little while now. Put it simply, Ancient Free Gardeners is a Melbourne Indie Quartet but prefer to let its music speak for itself. The band's songs like to "waltz along happily" yet the band admits that some anger and sadness may trapeze through its tunes every once in a while. It is art that is honest.

Ancient Free Gardeners has taken various forms since 2006 around a blooming collection of artistic, folkish indie-rock tunes orchestrated by James Milsom. Callum Barter emerged initially as a producer/engineer but took up his drumsticks when the need for a drummer arose. When Melbourne rockers The Scapes became extinct, bassist Gautam Raju and keys-smith Steve Morfesse entered the line-up.

[caption id="attachment_174" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="source: myspace.com/ancientfreegardeners"][/caption]

The name Ancient Free Gardeners also sparks some intrigue. Apparently, there's an old building on the outskirts of Melbourne's central business district that advertised its tenants as the Ancient Free Gardeners. According to James, the building housed a secret society. Within weeks of the band spotting the building, local newspapers ran a story about it, citing a 'friendly society' that had shut up shop and quietly slipped out of town. Not exactly the moves of a friendly bunch of individuals...

The band debuted on disc in 2007 with a self-titled independent EP and has since released two singles. Triple J has since endorsed the quartet via airplay, alongside generous national and international community radio support. Fans can expect a full length album sometime in 2008. Those who dig Augie March, The Frames and Art of Fighting may find a safe and happy haven in Ancient Free Gardeners.

For a taste of Ancient Free Gardeners' new single Innards Out hit the Sound Wave!

Here's a curious question....Do you sleep with a stuffed toy?

Alex Towler — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:48:46 +0000

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="193" caption="A picture of one of my candles of tonight"][/caption]

I'm 19, it's 1am in the morning - now a Sunday and I have just been asked a weird question. OK so I know your probably wondering why I'm in at one am on what was a Saturday morning. I was sleeping that's what, all day long I couldn't rouse myself so I just lied on the sofa comatosed and slept like a bear hibernating for all it's worth. I kind-of lied. The answer is no, I don't sleep with a stuffed toy, though there is one or two hidden under my bed. Now you know another secret, even though I have moved out of my mums, decorated my flat, working in central London, saving to travel. Look after fish and plants. Make sure the bills are paid and scheming to take over the world I have a stuffed toy and I wouldn't get rid of it for the simple fact of it being a gift.
The problem I have is that for some reason I thought it a good idea to light up the candles, finish the wine, put on Jack Johnson and relax because for some reason I'm feeling so detached. What do you do in those situations? personally I just pretend it's not happening and keep on rolling. You can only do so much really, and lets face it - home is home. I'm happy I have a base and the world is calling, so while everyone else my age is out getting plastered and STI's, I'm steadily filling my ISA account and planning to escape to the other side of the world and see where life takes me. Lets face it, everything I do is just passing the time till I can raise my family and teach them to be good people and to enjoy life to its fullest, don't worry about anything because this time next week, next month, next year. It won't make a blind bit of difference. Here's the full message log for anyone who's interested in the lie that I am so ashamed of I felt the need to blog it:

Street performers and Street art

lemonicedtea — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:42:46 +0000

I have been a semi-frustrated performer almost all my life. Sure, I have had my fair share of ballet and piano recitals, school plays, speeches and other things which escape my mind at the moment. But what I really haven't tried is to perform in the streets. In a lot of western cities, begging comes in a lot of forms. Whether they are art camouflaged or magic tricks to entertain. I have seen in the streets: a contortionist, man eating fire, man on a bike on a tight rope, magician playing tricks, a mime dressed in silver paint, chalk artist on the pavement, musicians wearing their didgiredoos and a bit of cloth, singing acrobats, young violinist, ball juggler, man making music with glass beer bottles, etc etc etc.

I am sure each of us have seen them at least once. I say they are all on a league of their own with their performances. Whether it is a silent act, or a scene stealer. I have a sense of respect for them who have guts, courage and (sometimes) unique talent.

These travellers, backpackers, locals, or whoever they are and wherever they come from, they form part of the street scene which makes walking down the street a bit more interesting. They can be a nuisance to some, but really it is your choice whether you want to stop and see them do their thing. Whatever their reason is for doing this, does not really matter (much).

Aussie stocks shed $37b in hours

travellerev — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:26:23 +0000

Australian shares shed A$30 billion (NZ$37 billion) within minutes of the market opening today as investors reeled following a dive on Wall Street overnight.

The Australian dollar also plunged, hitting a two-year low against the yen and sinking against the greenback.

The benchmark S&P/ASX-200 index fell as much as 2.85 per cent, or 141.9 points, to 4837.6 soon after opening.

The market was pulled down by the big miners and the banks.

"It's going to be a blood bath," said Peter Strachan of StockAnalysis before the market opened. "People are just having to liquidate assets."

Great Ocean Road, Victoria - Twelve Apostles Image

[caption id="attachment_175" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Great Ocean Road, Victoria"][/caption]

This is one of the best known scened in Australia. It's on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. They used to call it the Twelve Apostles (even though there were only pillars, don't ask me why) but a few years ago the pillar in the front of this photo collapsed, leaving behind a big pile of rubble.

Now people think it's funny to call it the Eleven Apostles (even though there are only eight, so the joke is on them). It is still a spectacular place to visit and take photos. There are also lots of other areas of great ocean scenery along the coast road, so it is well worth a visit.

I've Sugared My Strawberries

eccedentesiast — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:43:49 +0000

sucrer les fraises - to be senile, crazy (lit: to sugar the strawberries)

Another shopping day. Another day of running around shop to shop then running back to collect the handbag you left in the changing room (thankyou to the lovelies at Pop for saving it). Pretty much set for Australia now - who's getting bored of me going on about it? *raises hand*.

Another slightly bizarre mood. You can always tell how I am by my voice. Slow and slurred points to depression, racing and trippy will be a high. I've been slurring at speed all day.

This can only be short, because I have things to do. Lists to write and rewrite. And I have a busy day ahead tomorrow. S for coffee in the morning then the girls and my old english teacher for lunch. I should probably go lie in bed soon. Blah de blah. I'm not tired. Not at all but the thoughts come so quick and my fingers are too slow so this is invariably frustrating.

Australia earn clean sweep over Bangladesh

sandeshkumar — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:29:07 +0000

Australia v Bangladesh, 3rd ODI, Darwin

Australia 5 for 198 (M Hussey 57*) beat Bangladesh 125 (Tamim 63, Hopes 3-30) by 73 runs

Scorecard

Michael Hussey, the Player of the Series, registered an important half-century that kept Australia ahead of the committed tourists

Tamim Iqbal's one-man entertainment show was not enough to turn Darwin into Cardiff as Australia wrapped up a 3-0 cleansweep with a 73-run victory over Bangladesh. Tamim mastered the slow surface better than anyone had all week. He showed more flair than Australia's key man Michael Hussey but only two of Tamim's colleagues reached double figures and three wickets to James Hopes led to a familiar result.

Bangladesh were chasing 199, which despite their batting woes on this tour looked like a vaguely feasible target. When Tamim lashed the likes of Hopes and Mitchell Johnson there were some nervous flutters from Michael Clarke, who was part of the team when Bangladesh upset Australia in Cardiff in 2005.

Several facets of Bangladesh's game came together on this occasion: Tamim was on fire, their spinners bowled terrifically tightly and their fielding was sharp. Again, the disappointment was the rest of their batting as several men threw their wickets away unnecessarily. It was all the more frustrating for Bangladesh this time because, the way Tamim was playing, they had a genuine chance.

He made their first half-century of the series and finished with 63, skying a catch off Shane Watson as he ran out of colleagues. He ended up with more than half of his team's 125 and the Man-of-the-Match award. Tamim was so enthusiastic that one attempted pull off Hopes finished with the bat flying halfway to the square-leg umpire after he failed to connect with the ball.

More often he did make powerful contact. A cracking drive for four over mid-on from Hopes was followed next ball by a cleanly-struck six to the same spot. But Hopes easily got through the defences of Mahmudullah and trapped Dhiman Ghosh lbw, having already removed Tamim's most important partner, Shakib Al Hasan.

Shakib had batted well for 27, although he was dropped at third man on 14. His luck ran out when he tried to pull Hopes but failed to connect properly and lobbed a catch to Michael Hussey at midwicket. It was the end of Bangladesh's best stand of the series and, as it turned out, the end of their chances. The pair had led a good recovery after the top order stumbled to 3 for 22.

Mohammad Ashraful fell to an awful piece of batting for the third time in the series. As the captain and arguably best batsman in a young side, his approach in the middle must be a major concern for the coaching staff. They had 50 overs to score 199. What they needed from this innings, as they have through the whole series, was patience and concentration. Instead Ashraful showed no application. He had 3 on the board when he drove Stuart Clark in the air with no real control and was taken by Michael Clarke at point.

Before wandering off the Marrara Cricket Ground, Ashraful stood for a moment and looked down the pitch, seemingly wondering what had gone wrong. He had not learned from his mistake from Clark's previous ball, when he drove in the air straight to cover, where Hopes spilled what he should have taken.

Just as bad was Alok Kapali's brain explosion as he tried to pull a Johnson ball that was nowhere near short enough and lost his off stump as a result. Clark had already accounted for Junaid Siddique with a nasty bouncer that was fended to first slip. Bangladesh really needed to take note of the way Hussey, the Player of the Series, had batted to nudge Australia to 5 for 198.

His painstaking unbeaten 57 ensured a competitive total despite the strong efforts of Bangladesh in the field. He struck a couple of boundaries towards the end but for most of the innings concentrated solely on batting out the overs, something Bangladesh failed to do in any of the three ODIs.

Scoring was tough for Australia. Eye of the Tiger blared over the PA system and it was a prescient choice as a sharp Bangladesh threw down the stumps several times. Such was Australia's trouble finding gaps, particularly against the spin of Shakib and Abdur Razzak, that they started taking suicidal singles.

Shane Watson (27) did not trust Clarke's call and his hesitation cost him when Mashrafe Mortaza and Ghosh combined to find him short. Clarke himself was stranded out of his ground when he bunted to the off side, hared for a run and watched as Kapali's throw shattered the stumps.

David Hussey fell in similar fashion when Ashraful at mid-off was accurate, although the one they needed to get was the one they missed. When Michael Hussey had 6 he scampered through for a run and was well short when the throw narrowly passed by. Bangladesh can only dream of what might have happened had the shy hit.

As it was they tied Australia up impressively. No boundaries came off the bat between the 14th and 42nd overs. By the close of Australia's innings, Bangladesh's confidence had lifted appreciably. If only their batsman had done the same.

One Heck of a Domestic Season but Abysmal Coverage

vmminerva — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:13:41 +0000

A once-in-a-lifetime domestic season is upon us. Tendulkar has announced his availability for the Irani Trophy vs. Ranji champions Delhi; Ganguly, Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble and Dhoni are also expected to play. Can it get any better? Meanwhile, Dravid is already playing for Karnataka in the Buchi Babu tournament in Chennai. India-A, the future of the Indian Test team, is playing the next generation Aussies in Bangalore. All this is happening and the coverage is almost non existent.

Not even a scorecard of the Buchi Babu tournament. How I wish I was in Chennai, would have rushed to the stadium, weather permitting. Unfortunately, a very busy work week meant I couldn’t make to the India-A vs. Australia-A match right here in Bangalore. On that, all we get is a scorecard. Meanwhile, I join fellow blogger Scopy in my cable-TV rues. No, not Tata Sky, but my local cable operator in Bangalore is a madman. He decides what I should watch. At any point in time, we get only three sport channels: a toss up between ESPN, Ten Sports, Star Sports, NEO Sports and Star Cricket. If there’s a live billiards tournament on Star Sports and other such live matches on other channels, means I can’t watch “India glorious” on Star Cricket or “Dravid Deewar” on NEO Sports.

I say this is a great opportunity to rope in some sponsors and cash in. Where are the BCCI? Are they not hearing the jingling of coins? The sad state of some of the domestic tournaments as described by Pradeep Magazine in his book <i>Not Quite Cricket </i> comes to mind. This is the time to cash in, folks. Lalit Modi! Where are you when you matter the most? There are at least three other very excited bloggers who are wanting to see these matches: unabashed senior supporter Buzz and avid cricket follows Scorpicity and Soulberry, who has a dedicated blog for domestic cricket. Hope I haven’t missed anyone else. But I’m pretty sure there are enough of us crazy folk to at least partially fill a stadium or count toward the TRP ratings. Surely Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid will pull crowds. Having said all that, looks like we crazy folk can only rant this season.

Pedofilia e chiesa: ancora orribili abusi sessuali su minori in Australia

mammadolce — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 15:22:39 +0000

Il Giustiziere degli Angeli

Ancora una volta dalla terra dei canguri si deve riportare notizia di abusi sessuali ai danni di minori in una scuola cattolica. Il tutto sul caso lo riprendo dal sito http://laici.forumcommunity.net

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="292" caption="Canguro"][/caption]

Australia, altri due arresti nella scuola Cattolica di Bathurst

BATHURST: Secondo quanto reso noto dalla polizia, un confratello Cattolico di 66 anni e un ex insegnante di 63, sarebbero stati arrestati questa mattina a seguito di un'indagine su un presunto circolo di pedofili scoperto nella scuola Cattolica maschile di Bathurst.

Entrambi sarebbe stati arrestati per i reati che la polizia sospetta siano stati compiuti nel College St Stanislaus tra la fine degli anni ‘70 e l'inizio del 1980. Nessuna accusa è stata formulata. La polizia sospetta che dozzine di ragazzi possano essere stati abusati durante le presunte sessioni ipnotiche di "preghiera" avvenute nel collegio.

I nomi di almento tre ex impiegati del collegio erano elencati in un mandato di perquisizione della polizia quando gli investigatori iniziarono le perquisizioni negli archivi della scuola nel mese di Luglio. L'ex sacerdote Brian Spillane, 65 anni, di Narwee, è stato accusato di 33 reati e la scorsa notte altre 60 capi d'accusa sono stati formulati contro di lui dopo che altre 8 presunte vittime si sono fatte avanti.

A seguito delle ulteriori rivelazioni, gli inquirenti hanno esteso l'indagine ad altre due scuole secondarie di Bathurst.

Attualmente il St Stanislaus è frequentato da 615 ragazzi, di cui 188 sono stranieri.

Il preside John Edwards ha dichiarato la scorsa settimana di aver saputo delle accuse "parecchi anni fa" e le avrebbe riferite alla polizia.

Tra le accuse, anche quella di preghiere a tarda notte e sessioni di canto in cui i ragazzi veniva abusati sessualmente.

Australia, quattro persone dovranno rispondere di 128 abusi sessuali su minori

BATHURST: Un confratello Cattolico, un sacerdote, un ex sacerdote e un insegnante laico dovranno affrontare l'accusa di aver abusato sessualmente di almeno 128 bambini negli anni ‘70 in due scuole.

Il confratello, il sacerdote e l'insegnante sono stati arrestati e accusati oggi, ma la polizia avverte che potrebbero seguire altri arresti.

Gli ex studenti del college St Stanislaus hanno dichiarato di essere stati abusati da bambini durante preghiere e sessioni di canto ipnotici a tarda notte.

Brian Spillane, 65 anni, del Narwee era già stato accusato a Maggio di 33 reati a cui ne sono stati aggiunti 60 ieri, dopo che altre 8 presunte vittime si sono fatte avanti. Oggi, un confratello Cattolico di 66 anni, arrestato questa mattina a Marsfield, è stato accusato di 28 abusi sessuali compiuti, a suo tempo, nella stessa scuola.

Entrambi dovranno apparire dinanzi la corte di Barthurst il 15 Settembre, insieme al 65enne sacerdote di Armidale che è stato accusato oggi pomeriggio di quattro reati relativi al presunto circolo di pedofili.

Un uomo di 63 anni, ex insegnante nel college Anglicano All Saints di Bathurst, è stato arrestato e accusato quest'oggi per tre reati di molestie sessuali relativi al presunto abuso di un bambino avvenuto in quella scuola nel 1973.

Dovrà presentarsi davanti alla corte di Barthurst il 17 Settembre.

La polizia informa che l'unico legame tra gli eventi occorsi nelle due scuole è il periodo temporale in cui sono accaduti, ma entrambi verranno convogliati in un'unica indagine.

Il Sovraintendente Michael Goodwin ha riferito che le accuse sono state mosse da 13 ex studenti del St Stanislaus e uno dell'All Saints.

"Non posso negare che ci saranno ulteriori indagini. Potrebbero esserci nuovi arresti", ha detto Goodwin.

"Non dimentichiamo che l'intera indagine è iniziata perché una persona ha avuto il coraggio di farsi avanti e ha spinto altre persone a seguire il suo esempio. Invito chiunque possa considerarsi vittima di abusi sessuali di qualsiasi scuola di Bathurst a contattare la polizia"

Il preside del St Stanislaus, John Edwards, ha riferito che alla scuola è stato presentato un mandato di perquisizione lo scorso 3 Luglio, il quale conteneva i nomi di tre ex impiegati.

Oggi il Sovraintendente Goodwin ha reso noto che Spillane e il confratello 66enne arrestato questa mattina erano in quella lista. Non è ancora chiaro se la terza persona sia il sacerdote arrestato nel pomeriggio.

Edwars ha ammesso che era a conoscenza delle nuove accuse contro Spillane.

"Vogliamo sottolineare il fatto che stiamo incoraggiando la polizia ad essere molto scrupolosa nelle indagini in modo che... i bisogni della comunità siano serviti al meglio," ha affermato.

"Esigiamo che ogni accusa sia investigata, individuata e risolta."

Photo of the day - View from Summit restaurant

Powerhouse Museum - Sydney

This image was taken at the Summit Restaurant which is located on the 47th floor of the Harry Seidler designed Australia Square building in Sydney. The Summit restaurant kindly allowed us to spend some time up there to document how it looks today. It underwent refurbishment in 1999 and the modernist history was considered highly amongst the brief, including the inclusion of these white Eero Saarinen tulip chairs.

The Museum photographers revisited city sites that were influential in the modernist period and documented them on how they look and how they are being used in a contemporary way. This was taken to coincide with the new exhibition on modernism in Australia.

The Great White Fleet 1908-2008

Julie — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 13:52:58 +0000

In the twilight of Roosevelt's administration, the president dispatched sixteen U.S. Navy battleships of the Atlantic Fleet and their escorts, on a world-wide voyage of circumnavigation from December 16, 1907, to February 22, 1909. With their hulls painted white except for the gilded scrollwork with a red, white, and blue banner on their bows, these ships would later come to be known as the Great White Fleet.

Albany was the only stop in Western Australia, to take on coal and Saturday September 13th, the Albany Port is celebrating this historic visit. Click Here

The fourteen-month long voyage was a grand pageant of American seapower. The squadrons were manned by 14,000 sailors. They covered some 43,000 miles and made twenty port calls on six continents. With the USS Connecticut as flagship under the command of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, the fleet sailed from Hampton Roads on December 16 190 for Trinidad, British West Indies, thence to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Punta Arenas, Chile,Callao, Peru, Magdalena Bay, Mexico, and up the West Coast, arriving at San Francisco, May 6, 1908

At San Francisco, Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry assumed command of the Fleet, owing to the poor health of Admiral Evans. Also at San Francisco, the squadrons were slightly rearranged, bringing the newest and best ships in the fleet up to the First Squadron. Leaving that port on July 7, 1908, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet visited Honolulu, Auckland, New Zealand, Sydney,Melbourne, and Albany Australia, Manila Philippines, Yokohama, Japan, Colombo, Ceylon, arriving at Suez, Egypt, on January 3 1909.

in Egypt, word was received of an earthquake in Sicily, thus affording an opportunity for the United States to show its friendship to Italy by offering aid to the sufferers. Connecticut, Illinois, Culgoa, and Yankton were dispatched to Messina, Italy at once. Leaving Messina on January 9, 1909 the Fleet stopped at Naples, Italy, thence to Gibraltar, arriving at Hampton Roads on February 22, 1909. There President Roosevelt reviewed the Fleet as it passed into the roadstead.
