QUOTING the forwarded e-mail

Subject: Amina Lawal -- Please support this woman

Look in any search engine for reaction around the world, such as a boycott of the Miss World Contest by women and nations that disapprove of this Nigerian sentence.

You have probably heard about Amina Lawal, the Nigerian woman convicted of adultery and having a child outside marriage, and who has been sentenced to death by stoning. The appeals court has approved this sentence. The judge has decided that she should be stoned to death as soon as her 8 month old baby daughter is weaned. Amnesty International has organised a petition which you can sign on line and which will be forwarded to the President of Nigeria. You can Sign it by clicking here:

Go to the right hand side of the page and click the please sign our

letter. Please sign and pass on to other people - it seems the least we

can do for her.

UNQUOTE - I updated some of the text to help make the post a bit more readable.

Subject: SUNRISE OVER LOWER MANHATTAN

No one will see this again.

This picture was taken by a lady returning on a cruise this past summer (July 28, 2001). It is a sunrise over lower Manhattan.

SHE Writes: As I watched the beautiful skyline of New York City float past me I noticed the sun was about to line up just behind the twin towers. I was lucky enough to snap the picture at exactly the right moment. If you look at the sun rays it is almost prophetic. a little spooky.

When I show this picture to anyone they almost always asks for a copy. I just want to share it with all who want it. Please take this picture and share it with anyone and everyone who likes it. I've been printing them like crazy on my home computer to give to those that want a copy.

Al is having trouble getting this picture so that other people can see it on Al Weblog. Someone tell me if the second url above shows you the image (apparently the first points to Al's hard drive) ... I got to this by looking in Radio Folder / Images / locate which image I had called it when I dropped it into my PC path corresponding to the MY PICTURES in Prefs as suggested by Alison Fish, and I see she has enhanced her how-to since the last time I looked at it.

Here is a copy of it supplied by Paula Allen. Thanks Paula.
