Guest guest Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Hi Jonnie > OK fraggle, you know I have to ask, who's queen boudica? Boudica (or Boadacea as she was known until the mid 1920s) was the Queen of the Iceni tribe in Britain. In about 60 CE the king of the tribe (her husband) Prastagarus (I think) was killed by the Romans. She took over leadership of the tribe and led one of the most fierce rebellions against Roman rule in Britain. As such she's become an English symbol of "freedom".

Guest guest Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Hi Jonnie > Which leads to the next question... 60 CE? What does CE stand for? CE is Common Era - exactly the same as AD in terms of the numbering, but without the religious connotations. It depends largely on what you are looking at in history as to which is the "correct" one to use - the guiding principle is that if you are discussing religious history (as opposed to specifically Christian history) then CE is the more appropriate, since other religions don't recognise the religious connotations of AD. In practice, once you get used to using one, it becomes a habit! BB Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to get my car out of the shop and when I tried to get out of the truck, the wind whipped the door out of my hands and flung it open. I quickly got out to make sure the door was still attached! I'm not sure if my hubby would understand that his door flew down the street! The wind is always blowing over the portapotties in our complex that is still under construction.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2005 Hi Fraggle > you know i had to.. and wot you got against celts inhabiting regions > near londinium? the regni...... There's no evidence of anything " Celtic " in England... and London is pretty much in England. About the only evidence of anything remotely " Celtic " is some pottery found in Yorkshire which seems to be of the same kind as the Celtic parts of Gaul, but there's so little that would seem to be imported goods rather than a Celtic settlement.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Three posts on pets and Katrina below. Even the liberal media has had nothing on the other family members (pets) or wildlife. Although did include links to animal charities. So please suggest this coverage to the media and note JJSwans suggestion below that Red Cross, etc. coordinates with animal groups so if you are donating please add that suggestion. thanks, - Katrina By JJswans - JJswans Before Hurricane Katrina hit land, a televised news report said that officials were warning that anyone who abandoned their animals would be charged with animal cruelty. Since animals are usually the last thing that government officials, and the news media, concern themselves with, it was encouraging to see a preemptive attempt to protect potential animal victims. An unknown number of people risked their own lives by staying with their animals, and that too was encouraging to see, though it brought to mind the importance of increasing the numbers of shelters that would allow animals, and increasing attempts to get such information out to animal guardians that there are shelters that will help. What was discouraging is how many stories are now emerging about people that were forced to make a choice between abandoning their animals in order to be allowed to enter a shelter set up for humans, or risking their own lives by remaining outside of the shelter with their animals. How can officials tell someone they must abandon their animals after stating that such abandonment would mean charges of animal cruelty? It is estimated that 60 percent of the U.S. population has a companion animal. Eighty percent of that 60 percent have two or more companion animals. And yet shelters for humans don't take that into account - there are no contingencies for the furred, feathered, or scaled members of people's families which have proven to be medically and psychologically beneficial for their people. And if there was ever a time when people need the soothing and stabilizing effect that an animal can give, it's when they have lost everything they own, and their lives are in upheaval, such as the victims of Katrina. How difficult would it be for the Red Cross and the Salvation Army to join hands with the HSUS, the ASPCA, and other animal aid organizations who could supply crates/cages to be available at every Red Cross/Salvation Army shelter, along with food for the animals. If there were people that didn't want to be around the crated animals, they could even have non-animal sections of the shelters. Nothing made the need for disaster shelter reform more evident than the story seen on CNN of a small white poodle-type dog, standing on his hind legs, with front paws on the outside of an evacuation bus' closed door, begging to be allowed aboard. One can only guess if this was Snowball who had been taken away from a small boy as he got on an evacuation bus, as the child reportedly screamed for his dog. That dog didn't have a Snowball's chance in Hell. Please, send your donations to your favorite group, whether that be the HSUS or the Red Cross, or whoever - but include a request that those groups helping people, and those groups helping animals, ban together and help the entire family, which include both people and their companion animals.

She pleaded. " I offered him my wedding ring and my mom's wedding ring, " the 34-year-old nurse recalled Saturday. They wouldn't budge. She and her husband could bring only one item, and they already had a plastic tub containing the medicines her husband, a liver transplant recipient, needed to survive. Such emotional scenes were repeated perhaps thousands of times along the Gulf Coast last week as pet owners were forced to abandon their animals in the midst of evacuation. In one example reported last week by The Associated Press, a police officer took a dog from one little boy waiting to get on a bus in New Orleans. " Snowball! Snowball! " the boy cried until he vomited. The policeman told a reporter he didn't know what would happen to the dog. The fate of pets is a huge but underappreciated cause of anguish for storm survivors, said Richard Garfield, professor of international clinical nursing at New York's Columbia University. " People in shelters are worried about 'Did Fluffy get out?' " he said. " It's very distressing for people, wondering if their pets are isolated or starving. " Valerie Bennett left her dogs with an anesthesiologist who was taking care of about 30 staff members' pets on the roof of the hospital, Lindy Boggs Medical Center. The doctor euthanized some animals at the request of their owners, who feared they would be abandoned and starve to death. He set up a small gas chamber out of a plastic-wrapped dog kennel. " The bigger dogs were fighting it. Fighting the gas. It took them longer. When I saw that, I said 'I can't do it,' " said Bennett's husband, Lorne. But the anesthesiologist, a cat owner, promised to care for the other pets. " He said he'd stay there as long as he possibly could, " Valerie Bennett recalled, speaking from her husband's bedside at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. The Bennetts had four animals, including their two beloved dogs — Lorne's English springer spaniel, Oreo, and Valerie's miniature dachshund, Lady. They moved to Slidell, La., in July when Valerie took a job at an organ transplant institute connected to Lindy Boggs. Lorne, a former paramedic, is disabled since undergoing a liver transplant in 2001. On Saturday, as Hurricane Katrina approached, both went to the hospital to help and took all four animals with them. Patients were evacuated starting Monday by rescue workers using small boats to traverse the floodwaters surrounding the hospital. On Wednesday night, the Bennetts were told they had to go, too. They fed their guinea pig and left it in its cage in a patient room. They couldn't refill its empty water bottle because the hospital's plumbing failed Sunday, they said. They poured food on the floor for the cat, but again no water. " I just hope that they forgive me, " Valerie Bennett cried. They handed the dogs to the anesthesiologist. Valerie got his last name but no cell phone number. " I wasn't thinking, " she said. But on Saturday afternoon, Valerie Bennett said she saw a posting on a Web site called petfinder.com that said the anesthesiologist was still at Lindy Boggs caring for the animals.

Hmmm - that could be a problem. We are talking about the police here, so they might assume your accent was Iraqi... they did shoot a Scot a few years back believing that he was Irish (because of his accent), and thereby obviously a member of the IRA.
