weather finally improves for american fire fighters

Cooler weather finally helped firefighters make strong gains on many of the wildfires burning across Southern California on Saturday after a long hard struggle to bring wild fires under control. i was really pleased when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had said that if people had started the fire were going to be caught and those who had thought about putting in fake insurance claims, those who thought about looting through what was left in the disaster aeras not to bother as they will be found out and delt with.
Survivors of firestorms that destroyed more than 2,000 homes in Southern California found reasons Sunday to be thankful even as the damage toll mounted and firefighters worked to contain blazes. Fire officials kept an eye on warm, dry weather that moved in behind a moist, tropical system that allowed fire crews to make gains Saturday. Winds up to 15 mph were expected but weren't considered a problem. This is not bad conditions for the many fire fightesrs to tackle blazes unlike the The Santa Ana winds which can not be tackled and can also be very dangerous which was one of the main causes of the fires by knocking down power lines.

a bad week

First day back at college today and to be very honest it feels like there was no holiday as it was one of the worst weeks i've had for a while. Very busy with work and family things to do but got through it all.

The Hangover from hell

class task on being a journalist

After looking at the website that we were given it showed that the Russian Billionaire
Nisher Usmanov who was trying to buy ARSENAL FC.Then there was letters from lawyers, This then led to a conflict of comments which led to Tim Ireland closing down Bloggrerhead site. but there was other sites that had now vanished becaues of tim pulling the plug like labours Bob Piper and the Conservitive MP Boris Johnson even though they had not even offended the Russian billionaire. in my opinion Tim Irland had offended the billionair anf took it out on people who had the right to comment on what tim had put in his blog and when he was caught out he basically closed down all the sites that he had. SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH ? ?

The right was taken away when tin irland decided to insult the Russian Billionare and the following peiece on script taken from another web page which i feel that could not be put any better so this is the script as follows :- Newspapers are not shut down if they face libel allegations, (not in the UK anyway) there is a legal process that is followed. Surely that process applies to bloggers too. If the offending comments were not libellous - and only a court can decide this - then Mr Usmanov’s actions could be deemed illegal. He would have to pay damages. There are all sorts of legal ramifications involved with this story.

as for the other site we had to look at i could not find it on the
