Other interesting woods used in the French colonial armoires are thibet (Alfizzia lebbeck), a dark brown with blondish striped wood, West Indian rosewood (Dalbergia fructescens), and Sabica (Lysiloma latisiligua) commonly known as âhorse-fleshâ in the islands and is often mistaken for mahogany.
(Published Friday, June 19, 2015) The city of Oakland opened its arms to an estimated million revelers on Friday, showering the beloved Golden State Warriors with love and adoration after the basketball team won the NBA championship. (Published Friday, June 19, 2015) About 1 million people attended the parade and rally, police said. The event went relatively smoothly, although three people were shot a few blocks from the site of the rally. Police could not confirm whether the shooting had anything to do with the Warriors rally.
One of the parade's biggest groups will be missing this year. The South Shore Drill Team pulled out of the parade this weekend because of a new rule. Each group is now limited to 100 people, but the drill team had more than 240 members in the parade last year.
