Lovin those pics are beeeutiful - absolutely beautiful.  Do you live in Wisconsin?

I live in NE Ohio and that's where those were taken. I've been to Milwaukee area many times and the areas are very similar.  Sorry for the confusion.  NRCG grew up in WI and she misses the fall.  I thought it might touch her heart.

She is going to really enjoy the pictures Lovin - she misses the fall weather.  I was born and raised in Western Wisconsin and it is as pretty there as your pictures - just like them. 

Are you still in the area?  I absolutely love that state. 

I am in Northern Minnesota now - moved here when I met my husband although we go to Wisconsin frequently because my Dad and family still live there.  I miss living there.

I know what you mean - you dont want them to grow and as they do you still want to keep them close.  It is nice you are surrounded by the 3 of them - empty nest is terrible. When my daughter left to go to school I was depressed for a month - she was only 30 minutes away for goodness sake but our house was not the same without her.  Now she lives 8 miles away and I see her more than when she lived at home.

Arizona Sheriff Launches Controversial Immigration Sweep

Friday, October 16, 2009
PHOENIX —  An Arizona sheriff known for cracking down on people who are in the country illegally launched a crime and immigration sweep in northwestern metro Phoenix on Friday, a half day after officials in Washington limited his powers to make federal immigration arrests.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose sweeps have led to allegations of racial profiling, said the rebuff from Washington won't stop him. He said he can still arrest immigrants under a state smuggling law and a federal law that gives all local police agencies more limited power to detain suspected illegal immigrants.

"It doesn't bother me, because we are going to do the same thing," said Arpaio, whose deputies had arrested 16 people by Friday evening on unspecified charges. "I am the elected sheriff. I don't take orders from the federal government."

The officers were participating in a federal program that grants a limited number of local police departments special powers to make immigration arrests and speed up deportation. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stripped Arpaio of his power to let 100 deputies make federal immigration arrests, but renewed another agreement that allows 60 jails officers to determine the immigration status of people in jail.

The sheriff's sweeps in some heavily Latino areas of metro Phoenix have drawn criticism that Arpaio's deputies racially profile people. Arpaio said people pulled over in the sweeps were approached because deputies had probable cause to believe they had committed crimes and that it was only afterward that deputies found many of them were illegal immigrants.

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Arpaio's office over allegations of discrimination and unconstitutional searches and seizures.

"He is doing this to thumb his nose at the Obama administration," said Lydia Guzman, president of the Hispanic civil rights group Somos America.

The sweeps have discouraged some Hispanics who have witnessed or been victims of crime to refuse to call Arpaio's deputies, for fear of mistreatment, Guzman said.

Observers who are part of Guzman's group fanned out across the area of the sweeps with video cameras to record exchanges between deputies and motorists.
Arpaio said volunteers will use cameras owned by his agency to video-record deputies so viewers can see for themselves that they weren't doing anything wrong. Arpaio responded angrily to a question during a news conference about the costs of the cameras, saying they were paid through seizures in drug cases. "Dope peddlers bought the cameras," Arpaio said.

A dozen anti-Arpaio protesters yelled throughout the news conference. At one point, they chanted: "Order equals K-K-K — here's what Arpaio has to say."

Kris Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and an advocate of expanding local immigration efforts, said Arpaio's office — like every other local police agency — can detain people suspected of immigration violations for a day or two until federal authorities come to pick them up.

In the past, Arpaio could have held such immigrants for longer than two days and conducted investigations of smuggling rings, Kobach said.

"It's really a slight narrowing, but it's not much," said Kobach, who worked as an immigration law adviser to then-U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft from 2001-2003.

Dan Pochoda, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing people who filed a lawsuit over the sweeps, said Arpaio still can't pull over motorists solely because they are suspected of being illegal immigrants.

"He can't do it under the terms he is claiming. He has indicated that he can stop people without the suspicion, based on what they look like, what they sound like," Pochoda said.

Arpaio said the Bush administration had no complaints about his use of the special federal powers, but all that has changed with the Obama administration.

"What's changed?" Arpaio asked. "Politics has changed, because they don't like us going on the streets to catch illegals."

This round of sweep, Arpaio's 12th, is set to end late Saturday.

Alright monkeys, gotta go eat my dinner, maybe watch some baseball or EastEnders and go to bed.  Thank goodness we aren't doing that stupid Christmas progam this year. I would have to go to bed at 7 pm in order to get up at 4 am to go skate. That just isn't right. 

Sleep well monkeys, I will see you in the morning.

  

Wait! Did I miss something? I thought you and a friend were gonna skate for a Christmas programme? Something about skating to The Dogs singing "Jingle Bells"?
