Life Lessons from Anne Shirley –

It is no secret that I feel like the literary character Anne Shirley and I are essentially the same person. Growing up, playing with & talking to Anne was like interacting with my twin flame. And what ardent flames we are indeed!

It’s astonishing when your own beliefs & general disposition toward life are mirrored in someone else’s writing, and it’s liberating when you realise that you’re neither insane nor alone 😉 That’s the power of fiction, baby!

The Spokesman-Review: Wandering wolf, OR-7, and new mate have pups

The speculation is over on whether Oregon’s famous radio-collared wandering wolf has a mate.

OR-7 and its mate have produced pups, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has confirmed.

OR-7, the name given to the male wolf when it was first captured, radio-collared and released in northeast Oregon, found a mate in the Rogue River area of southwest Oregon’s Cascade Mountains after capturing worldwide attention as its movements were followed on the web through Oregon and California.

Massive Investigation Uncovers White Supremacist Criminal Network in Oregon | Hatewatch

A massive investigation in Oregon shows evidence of a criminal web – involving guns, drugs, stolen property, identity theft and violence – linking white supremacists and outlaw motorcycle gangs.

“Operation White Christmas,” as the year-old investigation is code-named, so far has resulted in the arrests of 54 individuals, mostly in the Portland area, leading to 11 criminal cases in state court and another 43 in federal court.

As for its scope, the investigation based in Portland and Multnomah County rivals the prosecutions of members of another violent gang, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.

The Oregon suspects variously are affiliated with at least five known street and prison white supremacist gangs – European Kindred (EK); Rude Crude Brood; All Ona Bitch (AOB); Fat Bitch Killers (FBK) and Insane Peckerwood Syndicate (IPS), authorities say.

Others arrested, investigators say, are associates of the Gypsy Jokers outlaw motorcycle gang whose members were believed to be involved in firearms and drug trafficking with the white supremacist gangs.

No respect, no shame, “we can do whatever we want!” Israeli Occupation Forces raid al-Aqsa mosque compound

Settlers accompanied the Israeli Occupation Police are raiding the al Aqsa mosque compound. The Israeli Occupation Forces laid siege to the Palestinians at al-Aqsa Mosque compound gates.

Palestinian sources informed PNN that around 60 Israeli Settlers raided the compound this morning with the purpose of performing Talmudic prayers. Following the raid, Israeli Police Forces prevented Palestinians from praying, in order to protect the settlers who were still in the compound.

The sources added that the department of Awqaf in Jerusalem is attempting to open the compound gates and evacuate the settlers.

The Palestinian Organizations in Jerusalem are afraid that these raids may activate the Israelis’ plan to divide the compound.
