Qualified operators with experience and know-how staff Milton's six insert-clinch stations. Faster than welding, insert clinching can be a great alternative depending on the nature of the part. Insert clinching is a mechanical-fastening method that joins a nut or fastener to a piece of metal using special tools to form a mechanical interlock between the pieces. The tool consists of a punch, which forces the two layers of sheet metal into a die cavity forming a permanent connection. Request a quote today, or call 313-366-2450 to learn more about how Milton Manufacturing can help you with your insert-clinching project!
- A common brand name of insert clinching is a PEM®; therefore, sometimes this capability is referred to as a PEM® Machine or PEMSERTER®.

Question 1
We strongly agree with all four statements. In doing so we strongly reject the Conservative Administration's likely spin on the "best use of its lands and building". We firmly believe that the best use of Kingswood Civic Centre is to remain the provider of Council jobs and services.
Questions 2 & 3
As councillors we visit Kingswood Civic Centre on a very regular basis indeed.
Question 4
When the cross-Party Council Savings Plan that included accommodation savings was agreed a few years ago, this was based on the future co-location of services in Council buildings. In the case of Kingswood, the clear assumption was for the library (and possibly the public conveniences) to share the Civic Centre with the current users.
We therefore tend to agree with Option D but without the corollary of shipping hundreds of Council jobs out of Kingswood, which was not part of the equation until the Conservatives assumed majority control.
We strongly oppose options A-C for Kingswood which involve the disposal of the Civic Centre.
Questions 5 & 6
Labour Group believes that Kingswood Civic Centre is an important community asset that provides local jobs, training and a sense of civic pride.
Our councillors voted against the decision to consolidate and rationalise office accommodation at Badminton Road, which other members backed despite receiving a 1,600 name petition opposing this move.
None of the five options in the consultation document fully reflects the previous cross-Party assumption about future accommodation in Kingswood. It is therefore unarguable that the Conservative Administration that took office in 2015 has made a unilateral decision to abandon the existing cross-Party way forward.
Labour Group offers seven separate reasons why the Conservative Administration's current plans to move staff and services away from Kingswood Civic Centre should be abandoned.
1. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would make it more difficult for local people to access services such as the One Stop Shop and Register Office
The Council leadership has promised to retain a One Stop Shop in Kingswood. However there are no details for the delivery of this and the options are not great. One is to move over to the library. Another is to find a site nearer the town centre but that could remove parking spaces. The Conservative Administration should not close the building with such important questions unanswered.
2. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would make it more difficult for residents to attend Council and Committee meetings that are taking decisions on their behalf
Kingswood is the only Council building with a Council Chamber and public committee rooms. They are well used, and for contentious issues (such as Cossham Hospital facilities) are filled by members of the public. The venue is easy to access.
The Badminton Road building is a poor alternative for the general public. There is a tiny amount of public parking space and the bus service from most parts of South Gloucestershire is poor or non-existent. The likely outcome is that fewer members of the public will come along and address councillors, to the detriment of participative democracy in our district.
As with the One Stop Shop, there is no clarity as to where public meetings would be held if Kingswood closes. We strongly oppose the ridiculous suggestion that meetings could move around the district like a travelling circus. A Principal Authority with any sense of worth requires its own fixed council chamber.
3. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would remove jobs for local people from the area with the highest level of unemployment in South Gloucestershire
The Conservative Administration seems completely unbothered that it will be shipping hundreds of jobs out of Kingswood and the effect that this will have. Local people want local jobs.
Instead Council Leaders refer to the building as "surplus office space" – a description we reject entirely. It is shocking and shameful that their decision is likely to be founded on this falsehood.
4. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would increase commuting, congestion and traffic pollution
Many staff who work at Kingswood, especially those in the lower-paid jobs, are local people who appreciate having a job that is close to home. They would now be forced to travel to Badminton Road. With the awful bus service, this inevitably means more car journeys, more congestion and more pollution. Staff have told us that they view such a forced move as a pay cut in effect.
5. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would demonstrate a waste of public money as £6 million was recently spent refurbishing the building
The Conservative Administration would open the Council up to ridicule if it moves out of the building so soon after such a major, costly and recent refit. Residents will rightly question the Council's fitness to manage public funds. Admitting to such a lack of foresight should be an embarrassment, but the Conservative Administration seems not to care.
6. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would reduce visits to Kingswood and trade in its town centre
The town centre will inevitably suffer, both from the loss of hundreds of staff who spend their money in local shops, and from fewer members of the public, especially if the Council is also trying to get people to do more and more business online. Kingswood people still like to deal with real people.
7. Withdrawing from Kingswood Civic Centre would further demonstrate that Kingswood is no longer seen as important, following the loss of Soundwell College and the promise of a Minor Injury Unit at Cossham Hospital
Kingswood is getting a raw deal. This decision would signal that the Conservative Administration does not consider Kingswood important enough for the Council to retain a flagship presence there. An office shop somewhere is no alternative for a Civic Centre: Kingswood is being downgraded in status.
The people of Kingswood value their sense of identity separate from their larger neighbour in Bristol. To remove the Civic Centre from Kingswood would erode the unique sense of belonging to South Gloucestershire which we believe would be to the detriment of our current authority. Residents expect the Council to listen to – and represent – the strong views of the local community.
Question 8
We do not support the relocation of civic functions or Council jobs to Yate for the reasons already outlined in previous answers. We restate our view that it would be demeaning for a Principal Authority not to have its own fixed civic suite and chamber.
Question 10
Labour Group believes that Kingswood Civic Centre is an important community asset that should continue to provide local jobs, training and a sense of civic pride long into the future.

Mike Murillo VS Cornbread Big Tire No Prep Gets Wild!
Mike Murillo is a fourteen time world champion across several classes and sanctioning ...
Mike Murillo is a fourteen time world champion across several classes and sanctioning bodies n the drag racing world. To say the man knows how to win would be a gross understatement. However, he may be facing his toughest challenge yet these days in the outlaw world of no prep racing.
Mike and his famed LaFawnduh fox body Mustang have certainly had some successes in the Wild West world of racing on unprepped tracks, but it seems wins are certainly harder to come by for the Texas based racer. If you need help understanding why, just check out the video below, where he's lined up with a no prep car that flies under most everybody's radar, only to often step up and punch the heaviest hitters right in the mouth.
Taking on Murillo is the nitrous-huffing fourth gen Camaro known as Cornbread, a car with a fairly simple combo that just flat out works on the tricky surfaces faced by no prep racers at each event.
It seems the crowd is leaning pretty heavily toward Murillo, and with his resumé, it's understandably hard to bet against the guy. However, if you picked Mike this time, you lost. Both cars looked to make pretty solid passes, though Murillo's car did make a move toward the centerline around 150', which could have certainly been the difference maker with Cornbread in the other lane hooked up and blazing straight down the middle of his lane to take the win.
You can hear the crowd's somewhat stunned reaction, as most of them obviously expected Mike to take the win. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we line up and race head to head instead of comparing things like dyno numbers and trophy cases. In the no prep world, the track is the great equalizer and it certainly leveled the playing field for this pair.

Effects of Ultrasonic Scaling and Hand-Activated Scaling on Tactile Sensitivity in Dental Hygiene Students
Document Type
Publication Date
Winter 2005
Publication Title
Journal of Dental Hygiene
Purpose. This study was conducted to determine if tactile sensitivity varies in dental hygiene students who use the ultrasonic scaler, as compared to those who scale with hand-activated instruments.
Methods. A two-group, randomized subjects, pretest-posttest design was carried out mid-semester for five weeks on 40 first-year dental hygiene students who met the inclusion criteria of this study and who agreed to participate. A convenience sample of 40 consenting, first-year dental hygiene students were randomly assigned to one of two groups (experimental or control). After establishing a baseline tactile sensitivity score with the Vibratory Sensory Analyzer (VSA), experimental group subjects used the ultrasonic scaler to remove 4cc's of artificial calculus from a typodont in a controlled, simulated clinical setting for 45 minutes, while each control subject manually scaled 4cc's of artificial calculus on a typodont in a controlled, simulated situation for 45 minutes. Immediately following exposure to either the ultrasonic scaler or hand-activated scaling instruments, tactile sensitivity scores were obtained using the VSA. Analysis of variance with one repeated measures factor was used to determine between group and within group differences on the pretest and posttest tactile sensitivity scores.
Results. Results revealed that tactile sensitivity increased after a 45-minute scaling session with the ultrasonic scaler. Pretest to posttest changes in tactile sensitivity for the ultrasonic scaling group exhibited a much larger threshold as compared to those in the hand-activated scaling group, supporting a gain in students' level of sensitivity with stimulus (vibration). Tactile sensitivity decreased in those who used hand-activated scaling instruments. The thumb, index, and middle fingers of students in both groups showed similarities in tactile sensitivity, with the index finger being the most sensitive.
Conclusion. Tactile sensitivity decreases with hand-activated scaling and increases with ultrasonic scaling over a 45-minute period. Short-term vibration exposure from the ultrasonic scaler is insufficient to negatively affect tactile sensitivity.

Bill Murray may have said it best: "It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's going to last you for the rest of your life." You could be at the point where you are feeling the winter blues, popularly known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. So, why not pack yourself in to a bar and listen to some music that knows just how you feel? The Twilight Sad may not make it all go away, but they at least ensure a good time is had.
Boot and Saddle may not have been a prime venue for them. Don't get me wrong, I love that place, but the Scottish band has just too much energy, despite bright titles such asNobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave. Think folk music that drank a bunch of Red Bull and had an affair with reverb. It makes for a good time, and one that made for a helluva Wednesday night.
Opening act Port St. Willow may have sounded like they were trying to do a Radiohead impression, but the sound was deeper and more hypnotic than that. Surprisingly, the crowd remained entranced as well, keeping silent for most of the set, something the band thanked us for, and keeping the mood they were trying to build intact. A soft warm up to the noise Twilight Sad would bring.

"We are always happy to answer any of your question, feel free to contact the office at any stage"
Annies Nannies
Frequently Asked Questions
Nanny Questions
How will Annies Nannies support me in my childcare role?
Through our Educational Programme we are able to offer our nannies access to the knowledge and expertise of qualified Early Childhood Teachers/ kaiako, resources specific to the children/ tamariki in your care and the educational experience you are supporting the child/ tamaiti to develop, and opportunites to socialise with other nannies and educators. We support your professional and personal development with workshops, extra assistance while studying, recognition for meeting milestones, and informal discussion groups. We are flexible enough that when a need is idenfitied by our staff/kaimahi or our nannies and educators, we are able to source relevant material or outsource a workshop to meet the need. Where ever possible we try to ensure a variety of times and dates are available to attend professional development to ensure it is accessible to as many nannies and educators as possible. Annies Nannies is also active on facebook, and has a monthly newsletter with upcoming community events, reminders of playgroups, workshops, outings etc, and fun activities. The support and guidance Annies Nannies offers is not limited to the fun stuff - we also ensure we are available to you should there be a workplace or employment issue.
What is expected of me if I am a part of your Educational Programme?
If you are in an Educational Programme role then the expectation is you will ensure the excellent care and education of the children/ tamariki and the supporting documentation to ensure a safe environment and a record of the child's learning. Full training is provided from our teaching staff on what is expected to ensure regulatory requirements are met and maintained. There is also the expectation that where ever possible you will be actively involved in professional development, be this offered by Annies Nannies or by an outside provider.
Do I need a current first aid certificate?
Regulations in the ECE sector dictate all nannies and educators have a current First Aid Certificate. If you are a part of our Educational Programme then Annies Nannies will pay for the renewal of your First Aid Certificate.
If I don't have a full driver licence can I still apply to register?
Yes. You do however need to be aware the positions that will be available to you will be limited as most families/ whÄnau require their children/ tamariki to be transported which can only be done on a full licence.
What wage can I expect to earn and who deals with the tax?
If you are an in-home educator you set your own hourly rate which will depend on your qualifications and experience. The average is $6-$8 per hour. Our Programme Coordinators can help you determine your hourly rate. If you are a nanny with us, you negotiate your hourly rate directly with the family/ whÄnau. The average is $17-$19 per hour. (We offer wage negotiation workshops as part of our professional development. This workshop is generally free to attend if you are registered with us).
Who pays the tax on your wage will depend on the type of position you have. It is best to speak directly with our adminsitration staff/ kaimahi to have your questions answered.
Can I apply for more than one position at a time?
Due to the nature of childcare work and continuity of care, we discourage applying for every job that comes up, but we certainly support and suggest you apply for those positions that suit you. This may mean you are applying for more than one at any given time.
Can I be employed by more than one family at a time?
While one full-time position is often what nannies are looking for, this isn't always a reality. Often nannies will need to have two part-time positions to make it up to full time hours. Annies Nannies can provide guidance on PAYE questions should you have any.
Can I be registered with more than one agency at a time?
When looking at registering with any agency we recommend you are aware of how that agency will support you in your childcare career. That being said, Annies Nannies has great faith in the excellent service we extend to our nannies and educators, therefore have no hesitation in you registering with other agencies while also registered wth us.

Some of the best games available are the kind that keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense and the thrill of the "Jump Scare". The unfortunate thing about games now-a-days is that most of the survival horror games available focus more on the action of fighting hordes of zombies, monsters or villans. Though this is still entertaining, it leave much room for imagination.
Outlast has by far served its purpose as a great first person horror survival game! It has truly reinvented the wheel, so to speak. There are many great features of this game that were developed precisley for a game just like this. So lets get into it!
The story of this game is not without its flaws, but all together it does paint a decent picture of what the makers were trying to convay. You play as the character "Miles Upshur", a freelance journalist, known only as "The Whistleblower". Upon the intro to the game, you learn that the character had received an anonymous tip about the goings on inside Mount Massive Asylum owned and operated by the Murkoff corporation. Something strange has been reported happening in the area and as a top-notch journalist, its your job to uncover the truth.
One of the best features in this game, in my opinion, is the fact that since you are playing the roll of the journalist, you have NO weapons! Just your trusty 1990's seeming camcorder and a notebook. This helps increase the scare factor because you have no way of fighting anything in the game! You must rely only on your ability to not get killed by anything chasing you down!
The other frightening aspect of this game is that for your main viewpoint will be through the lense of your camera. While it is fine when you are traversing through well lit areas, when it comes to dark places, you have to use your nightvision mode. When in nightvision mode, though it does seem almost like a bad Blaire Witch Project, your view is VERY limited and very grainy. Not only that, but using the camera and nightvision consume your battery! Luckily you will find batteries all over this asylum. I will not question what kind of batteries, but if they are available, you better stock up on them! If I were to make a guess as to how much of this game is played in the dark, I would give it a good 70%.
There are also a good amount of puzzels to be had in the dark. Looking around to find clues about how this place came to be, trying to turn back on generators, or finding your way out of a horrible situation! This leads to the next great feature of this game, hiding! There are many points in the game that cause you to have to hide. Most of the time to avoid being killed by a giant "Mr. X" type of monster, or if something is following you! Many of the hiding places can be air vents, under medical beds, in storage lockers. All good choices, but the heat gets turned way up when you realize that the monsters chasing you will actually stop to check these hiding places. Believe me when I say, you CAN GET CAUGHT and it is not a fun experience!
There are also the amount of scares in this game that I have not seen since the glory days of the original Silent Hill. I can't tell you the amount of times a grown man can scream like a little girl and begin wimpering! The environment itself, as an asylum should be, is just plain creepy. Everything seems dilapidated and dirty, everything is just a complete mess and unkept. Im sure a maid hasn't touched those bathrooms in forever! Then the jump scares kick in. The developers made sure not to overstep bounds by making every single room into some jump scare, but there are plenty in this game to really make you worry about what is around the next corner. When you turn a corner and there is nothing there, you can feel yourself give a sigh of relief, but that feeling only lasts a few seconds. Then there is the thrill of hiding! Turning a corner and seeing something evil begin to move towards you is the best kind of fright, because you know you need to get away, but options in this game are limited. Always remember to keep looking for good places to hide when moving around just in case you need a quick getaway.
The characters in this game seem to be very well developed graphically as well! Some of the "patients" in this asylum do look similar to each other, but for the most part you can play most of the game and not really notice too many similarities. You can also find notes and patient charts laying around that describe some of these characters and when you come across them, you will see the end result of what the notes described. Not all characters in this game will attack, and some of them just want to be left alone. Some are hostile towards you if you do not listen to their requests, so do not push your luck with any of these people! Then there are the actual enemies, who's appearance is just downright awful! Some of these characters look reminiscent of the old Hell Raiser movies. They seem to have a habit of talking to themselves and when they have spotted you, their dialogue changes to trying to find you. I half expect a "Come out come out where ever you are".
Overall, this is a very entertaining game in the world of first person survival horror and I am sure there is going to be a sequel/prequel to this game. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves the horror genre.

The Valentine's Ninja
I have a conflicted relationship with Valentine's Day. Growing up, I always associated valentines and chocolate hearts with my birthday, which is two days after Valentine's Day. (I suppose it was harder to get excited about President's Day.) On the other hand, I have an allergy to overpriced flowers and dinners and a day that makes a lot of people feel excluded or downright miserable. And since having kids in daycare/preschool, I've felt a little put upon with having been "assigned" to procure and sign a bunch of valentines on behalf of my kids. (Yes, I have a grinchy streak I'm not particularly proud of.)
But this year, I vowed, I was going to take Valentine's Day back and make it something meaningful for myself.
I found inspiration in my son's kindergarten Valentine's Day school assignment. Instead of mass producing a batch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles valentines, my son was charged with creating "valengrams" for his class. On individual scraps of paper, he had to write why each class member was special. It was a great (albeit time consuming) exercise in penmanship and time management, but more important, he had to think about something he valued in each of his classmates (i.e. you let people join your games, you help clean up messes that aren't yours, you are kind and friendly, etc.) What an amazing skill to be developing as a kid. And the joy and pride my son felt through reading the valengrams he received was the cherry on top.
For my Valentine's Day project, I scavenged some leftover, paper hearts tucked away in a drawer. I wrote messages on each one, like the ones below, and folded them up with "open me" written on the outside.
Then, the real fun began. Over the past week, I left about two dozen valentines wherever I went. In lunchroom and cafe tables at the university where I work a few days a week. Wedged inbetween apples at the produce section of the grocery store. At the library. The drug store. My dentist's office. The hearts became a trail of where I had been. And it became a game to find places to leave them where they would be discovered, but where I wouldn't be caught leaving them. It brought a sense of sneaky levity to my day. I even got my son in on the fun. Running or errands or going to get lunch became a chance to leave a heart somewhere. I felt like some sort of Valentine's Day ninja, secretly spreading love far and wide.
I have no idea whether the hearts will be discovered. My hope is the right people will find their messages. But the act of planting anonymous valentines gave me something. And in the process of becoming the Valentine's Ninja, I think I reclaimed Valentine's Day for myself.

We're only a few weeks into the school year, but I already realize we won the lottery with our son's teacher this year. There are so many lovely anecdotes my son has brought home that illustrate what a gem she is. But there's one in particular that I noticed from the first day I dropped him off at school that speak to the heart of her brilliance.
Every morning, all the kids from my son's class wait in line to enter the classroom, and there is his teacher, perched on a kid-sized chair or crouching at their levels. She greets each of her students, and connects with them and really listens to each of them. She sees them.
One evening, prompted by one of the "bedtime banter" questions she emails parents to encourage conversation, I asked my son, "Show me how you listen?" He demonstrated, sitting cross-legged on the floor, hands folded, eyes wide, looking attentive. He explained to me that that's how you listen. You listen with your ears, your brain, your body, your eyes, and your heart.
Yep, he said heart.
I know, it sounds like something from the All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten poem, except that I think most of us didn't really learn this in kindergarten (myself included) or ever, to be honest.
We're constantly instructed to "listen" as kids, but we're not necessarily told how to listen. And often, we're not really even listened to, as kids. We may not know what it feels like to be listened to. Conversely, my son's teacher is teaching her class how to listen and role modeling it for them.
If I had to condense the learning from all the parenting books I've read, that's one of the key learnings: we all want to be seen and heard. In fact, that could be extended to much of what I know of humanity.
We all hopefully know the feeling and the power of being completely and thoroughly listened to, but how often do we really listen? Not just listen to what someone is saying, but connect with the person who's talking, without an agenda, without judging or thinking about how we're going to respond, or how it relates to our own lives. Just pure and complete, open-hearted listening.
I've been thinking a lot about listening as I'm going through a training to become a leadership coach. Deep listening can be hard. It requires focus and energy, and forces us to quiet the chatter in our own heads. It's forcing me to ask if/how I'm listening in my life: to my kids, family and friends, and to myself.
Can you imagine what the world would look like if we all listened with our bodies, minds and our hearts? In every classroom and boardroom and waiting room and kitchen, we all really listened to each other? What would the world look like if everyone felt seen and heard?
Tomorrow morning, when I drop my son off at school, I'll marvel at how his lovely teacher checks-in with each student as she or he enters the classroom to start the day. And I'll imagine that classroom multiplied. And I'll imagine all those kindergarteners going out into the world and sharing their listening skills. An army of kindergarteners, changing the world through listening with their minds, bodies and hearts.

1x01- Emperor's New Clothes: "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 1"
Fic opens after BTVS "Chosen" and ATS "Home". Sunnydale rose up from the ground with Spike. He has stayed in Sunnydale along with Faith to guard the closed Hellmouth. Buffy has jumped this dimension in order to keep the First from being able to rise. We find Spike showing up at to see the Angel gang at Wolfram & Hart. Tensions immediately rise between not only Angel and Spike over Buffy. They also rise when Spike realizes that Wesley was Faith's old Watcher and the two question each other's intentions of working with Faith.
It is revealed that Connor's "sister" in the new family Angel had him placed in is realizing her memories with Connor are not real. It is feared that Connor, as well as his "family," will start realizing that his life with them was never real. Fred has created a drug that will solve this problem and Angel decided to hire Spike to ensure that Connor and his family take this drug. Angel claims he chose Spike to do this work as a way to keep an eye on Spike.
1x02 Who Made Who? "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 2"
Spike stays the night at the Hyperion to get ready for his job of "dosing Angel junior and his unknowingly duped family with magical memory pills." An attempt at a one night stand with a Wolfram and Hart employee leads Spike to memories of Buffy right before her dimension jump. You know what happens when Spike is unsupervised and he is missing Buffy. He gets drunk. The Hyperion's new owner—Gwen Raiden (electro-girl) does not like this. She's already in a bad mood because the L.I.S.A. adapter she stole to fix her freak electric touch is no longer working. Gwen learns that Spike is also a vampire and cannot be killed by her touch and that they both are pining for lost loves, she decides he has enough good qualities to do the nasty with. Angel and Gunn show up to "rescue" Gwen as they assume Spike is wreaking drunken havoc and more Angel and Spike fighting ensues. He calls Faith to check on The Hellmouth, as that's his duty, and ends up sharing with her how he misses Buffy and has slept with Gwen. Faith is thrilled Spike has gotten laid, but then tells him "I had another serge" and talks about the "demon coming out again." When Spike acts concerned about this news Faith seems insulted. She changes the subject to ask about what his top secret mission for Angel is and it's clear he will tell her all about Connor.
1x03: Who the Hell Are You? "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 3"
Spike goes on his mercenary mission to Sacramento with the "memory correcting" pills that Fred designed to ensure that Connor and the family Angel placed him will not begin to forget the memories that Wolfram and Hart created for them. It's horrible. He has to dress-up as a "TGI Fridays" waiter. Also, Connor has actually already remembered his real identity and tries to kill Spike. Spike is able to save himself by being a more experienced fighter but also by letting Connor know he is not at all Angel's ally and he tells Connor exactly what is going on and what Angel has paid him to do.
They bond of Angel bashing and issues of lost loves. When Connor claims his life is a lie Spike tells him about Dawn and how real of fake memories and family make you who you are. Connor is intrigued by Dawn and happy to hear about Faith. However, when he finds out Spike gave the pills to the rest of the family ensuring that his family will continue to remember the "reality" that Connor is their son and brother. Connor then wants to kill him again, but Spike shows him how much happier his little sister is now that she does not suspect the memories are fake. Connor asks Spike to dose him with the drug already. Instead Spike gives Connor the pills and tells him it is his choice and leaves him to decide.
Angel (who has been spying on this encounter the entire time) attacks Spike and they fight about who is more of an a-hole with snarky talk and violence. Spike then sees Connor in the mall with his family acting like an over-educated, politically conscious college brat and assumes he chose to take the forgetting pill.
1x04: Ballroom Blitz "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 4"
Life is not so bad for Faith Lehane. Sure, everyone is bummed B had to jump dimensions to get rid of The First. But it's not so bad on the resurrected Sunnydale thanks to Spike rising up with it. Faith is cool with Spike, Willow, Dawn, and Xander now. Even more amazingly, they are cool with her. She just doesn't get why Robin Wood, her first good guy decision, has such a beef with Spike. Still she gets to do what was too hard for her before—Slay with friends and not go psycho. She has Kennedy and Amanda helping her out. They aren't even pissed Willow had to retract the Slayer-Sharing Spell because it was too dangerous. Maybe things are looking up. Until she has to struggle with a demon inside of her past apocalypse-- literally. Faith reveals to her boyfriend she took in the power from the Shadowmen that Buffy refused during the apocalypse with The First when she believed Spike and Buffy were not going to help. Magic is so damned unpredictable. Who knew it would lay dormant in her when it was suppose to work and now, over a year later, literally come out of her as an angry demon mass leaving her feeling weak
And it's getting worse…The demon rose out of her and killed a guy, a human guy, but it was cool since he was a piece of shit that was going to kill everyone. What wasn't going to kill them was that the demon rising inside Faith. It/Faith had protected them, but her demon was going to kill her, until Spike brought her back. It was crazy. He touched her and a white light came out of him. Robin wasn't too happy about this. It was just too weird for Faith to feel about it one way or another.
What pissed her off was some really powerful, usually neutral, Demon Clan, The Rhoshobis, has Faith and Spike mixed up with Buffy and Angel from B's High School days. So of course, The Demons send assassins to kill them to save the world. Just what she needs, to get her ass kicked for something she actually didn't do while she was trying to live the straight life. Still everyone won't drop the demon thing. Robin wants it out of her now. Spike pointed out how the demon wasn't so bad since it saved their lives. Everyone else said Faith should she Angel because he may be able to take care of the Faith's demon with all the Wolfram and Hart power he has behind him. Angel helped Faith with demons before so why not? Road trip to L.A.!
1x05: Childhood Tragedy- "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 5"
Faith, Spike and the gang go to LA to visit Angel to see if he has any information on how to get The Shadow Demon out of Faith. Spike still doesn't like Wes and likes him less when he learns more about Wes's Watcher history with Faith. Still, it's all fun and games. Willow thinks her girlfriend is cute despite/because of her devotion to Faith. Then there are some surprise visitors—toruk han trying to kill them. Faith's demon saves everyone's ass, too bad it kicks hers. Spike has to help out again, and the healing gets more intense. Then, they have a second surprise visitors show up-- Connor and Dawn is impressed. Faith doesn't remember him, but keeps him in line when he tries to team-up with Spike to fight with Angel, or was it the other way around.
Wes fears the worst with Faith's demon. He tells her of a Slayer who chose to take in the same demon and she was dead with in a week…and she took her Watcher and some innocent people out with her. Spike really starts to tests Faith's last nerve. He argues with Wes when he doesn't know anything saying that the demon isn't a problem for Faith since Spike can heal her. Wes said he feared that Spike was healing Faith with his soul, and that his soul was impure due to the fact that he is a vampire. Wes believes that the joining of Spike's demon soul and Faith's Shadow Demon will cause nothing but bad news. He also believes that this is why The Rhoshobis a normally peaceful demon clan now want to kill Faith and Spike. When the two sing for Lorne he says that people will die if Faith cannot trust Spike. Faced with all this news about her choices causing chaos and darkness Faith wants this demon out of her! Too bad no one can think of a way to do that without killing her.
1x06: No Myth "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 6"
What's Faith, Spike, and Connor fighting the good fight look like? Spike training Faith to control The Shadow Demon by using her anger, and it hitting a little snag. Faith and Connor having a hard time with their interpersonal skills leaving Dawn and Robin upset. But, mostly it looks like fighting, drinking, and having a good time. It's almost fun those Rhoshobi demons still have a price on Faith and Spike's head. Spike convinces Faith that they can handle her Shadow Demon together despite Wes and Robin's concern. Robin and Angel do a little bonding.
1x07: What I Really Am "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 7"
Spike gets philosophical about how Faith can control her demon. Suddenly, it's not so much fun when some human soldier boys get a hold of Faith. When they are as ugly as demons Faith's the demon comes out leaving one of them dead. Spike comes just in time to save her only this time she rejects his healing. It has started to feel wrong. Convinced Spike is actually harming Faith with his mystical reaction to The Shadow Demon, Wes and Robin get in intervention mode and some truths come out about Robin and Spike's history. When Faith learns that Spike killed Robin's mother she reacts by throwing them both out of her place. Kennedy goes to Willow for comfort after a rough night. Connor knows no comfort and wants to end his life when he feels responsible for the attack on Faith as he discovers the soldiers had been looking for him. Faith saves him by suicide by demon by releasing her own Shadow demon, and a panicked guilty Connor brings an unconscious Faith to Spike to mystically heal her. Faith and Spike give Connor some tough-love while Xander worries about his carpets. Faith tells Spike that she wants nothing to do with him and his ability to heal her. Faith and Robin grow closer than ever.
1x08: Work-in-Week "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 8"
Faith has decided Spike's mystical reaction to her Shadow Demon is bad news. She's decided to go with Robin and Wes's plan to remove The Shadow Demon. Of course, it will have some side-affects like she will lose all her Slayer power. But, what else can she do? She can't become some evil disgusting monster that keeps sucking the life out of people and that is what will happen if she keeps letting Spike heal her. Spike disagrees a lot. He would do anything to get Faith to abandon the plan of removing the shadow demon with dangerous magic. Too bad he has to do it from Xander's apartment since Faith won't see him since she was told the truth about Spike and Robin's mother. Faith continues to work on her relationship with Robin. She isn't worried about the danger of the spell because Robin has called in family to do it. It turn out that Robin's adoptive grandfather, Alistair Crowley, is a super-powerful warlock and Wes approves too. Meanwhile, Connor tells Spike about how Wes has put Faith in danger with magic before. He reveals the story of how Wes had Faith inject herself with Orpheus and feed herself to Angelus in order to save Angel. This makes Spike really really mad, but then he gets an idea.
1x09: Harder to Breathe "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 9"
Wes has plans to reorganize The Watcher's Council together. Not that he isn't busy enough with Wolfram & Hart. But, things are falling into place. He even stopped another prophecy of doom by saving Faith from Spike's impure soul. That vampire was nothing if not obsessive. So, he's quite sure who the surprise visitor is in his office. Just you're not so average misguided vampire that thinks he's the only thing to save Faith rather than kill her. How far will he go to try to convince Wes of his delusion? Furthermore, he brought a friend—Angel's son. They begin to torture Wesley. They think this will make him tell Faith to rethink the spell. Of course, the tenacious vampire found out and brought up the Orpheus incident with Faith. Spike vowed that he would never let Wesley hurt Faith again for "his greater good." Wesley stands firm tells them if they have to kill him so be it. He knows that Faith doing the spell will be the only thing to bring her the peace and happiness she deserves. Just when the vampire seemed to get it, Angel's son starts in on Wes again. Wesley figured he wasn't done being nearly beaten to death in his life, but this sucks.
1x10: Hunter "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 10"
Connor would do anything to save Faith and he knows Spike would do anything too. He'll stop Angel's golden boy from using more black magic on Faith. He'll do whatever it takes, and that proves he isn't like his father, even if it means killing Wes. To his surprise Spike stops him and tells him that Wes really believes he's helping Faith. Connor can remember just how dangerous Wes's help can be as he was taken to a Hell dimension as a baby with his "help." Before he can say this Angel and Gunn come in with some Wolfram and Hart security guard. Connor is furious when Angel thinks he's just being manipulated by Spike. Connor decides to prove just how much he's acting on his own volition to protect Faith, and goes to threaten the unconscious body of Wes. He then realizes one of the security people attempted to kill him, but Spike jumped in front of the bullet. Spike was shot out the window but Angel pulled him to the ledge to safety. Wesley comes to and tells Spike that in order to save Faith his way he would have to violate her wishes and physically force himself on her. Spike then decided to let Wesley do the spell as Faith wants, but says if anything goes wrong he'll be there. Angel wants to hold Spike prisoner, but Wes actually tells Angel to release Spike since he is no longer a threat to saving Faith. Angel dramatically throws money at Spike paying him to "stay away from my son and Faith." Spike refuses but says he will take the money anyway. Angel tries to stop Connor from leaving but he jumps out of the window and into the light to get away.
1x11: Liar "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 11"
Spike continues to have Connor on his side. Spike confronts Faith about her decision to listen to Robin and Wes and give up her Slayer strength in order to get The Shadow Demon removed. Or does Faith really confront Spike? Either way Kennedy is her staunch supporter except when it comes to Faith trusting men to remover her Slayer power. But the question remains: Who's the liar? Spike realizes that Faith knows something that he believed she didn't know.
1x12: Your Eyes "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 12"
Faith wants to have the Shadow Demon removed from her so she will no longer have to rely on Spike's mystical healing. Wood's "Grandfather," Alistair Crowley, a jolly warlock with an interesting past comes to town magically to remove Faith's demon. He wants to do the spell in the basement of the high-school on the closed Hellmouth. Hey, whatever works. Faith knew this spell would remove her Slayer strength, but things seem to get a little out of control, even with Robin and Wes there. All magic has a price. Despite the warlocks best efforts Faith begins to die. He claims it's because Faith is fighting the spell. Wesley (who's really beat up from his encounter with Spike and Connor) believes Faith's only chance to survive is to find Spike. Even though he firmly believes Spike's healing will cause Faith harm he knows it will keep her alive until they can think of another alternative. Before Robin can object Spike is there. He revives Faith, but she was able to break away from him before the healing is complete. Spike tells her she knows this is right and tries to grab her to complete the healing. She argues and even begs him to leave, saying she doesn't want to become a disgusting evil thing. Wesley manages to stun him with a tazer and Robin impales his hand to the floor, but he gets free and argues with them with some interruption from some rumbling in the deeper part of the basement. Just when he is about to grab Faith he is thrust back by a magical force. Alistair Crowley has pinned Spike to the wall mystically. It's clear that Spike and Alistair have a past. It's also discovered that the spell accidentally reopened the Hellmouth.
1x13: The power We Got "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 13"
The spell removed Faith's Slayer Power, but failed to stop Spike from be able to burn vampire-soul fire into her. Faith knows that the prophecy of the demon clan is true, and that letting Spike burn his fire into her will now only bring about doom. Spike, still the romantic, seems to think otherwise -- that it is destiny. A powerless Faith decides prepares to retreat with the only one she feels is strong enough to guard her until Spike's obsession ends -- Angel. Robin and Kennedy question her decision and Robin shares some new ideas on how to handle Spike. He wants to put a chip back in Spike's head. When Robin lashes out at Faith for not agreeing with him he is surprised by his own temper. He realized that Faith will never stop fighting and would continue to put herself in dangerous situations. He thinks it's best to break-up with her.
1x14: Hide-n-Seek "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 14"
With the protection spell from Alistair Crowley that forces Spike to stay a few feet away from Faith he has a hard time saving her from a demon. It great she's still able to save herself. Or is she? Spike is convinced that Faith must let Spike heal her. Faith knows that letting Spike touch her will put her through hell, like the prophecy says. With the literal space between them Faith shares more about her past with him than she has ever shared with anyone. Spike's desire to touch her with his mystical soul fire still burned strong, and he knows it's the right thing to do. Meanwhile, Faith knows that all Spike has to do is touch her and she will become something evil. Without letting Spike get near with the help of magic her she tells him about Robin leaving her and how she destroys people she cares about. Angel then comes to Faith's "rescue" and he tells Spike he's crazy and Angel will never let Spike touch her. Spike knows he's right and vows to find Faith wherever Angel hides her.

She has been mysteriously sent back to this dimension and once again feels traumatized by being thrust back into this world. The last thing she wants to do is to be depressed around her friends and Dawn again. She confides in Spike and there are some kissing decisions between them. Spike suggests that Buffy goes to stay with Giles in England until she is ready to return as he confides in her that he has screwed everything up and now has to run to save Faith. Buffy realizes Spike has feelings for Faith, which he doesn't deny.

Spike, Connor, and Lorne go to Angel and Faith to set the record straight. The truth comes out: Faith is dying due to the Shadow Demon in her, and she needs Spike's mystical healing in order to live. However, Spike needs to fully burn his soul into her to save her and that will kill him. Faith has known this all along. When Spike accuses her of lying to everyone Faith when she claimed Spike's healing was evil she tells him she was never lying. Faith knew if she allowed Spike to die for her that would make her an evil murderer again. Well, it's not like Faith could get suicidal again or that Spike will ever go all Romeo & Juliet over a Slayer and die again. Wrong!

2x 01 Same as it Ever Was "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 18"
Buffy is in England with Giles wondering why she's always coming back to this world, and ambivalent about returning to The Mission and not wanting to disappoint the people she loves when this whole-coming-back-to-the-world thing happened before. When Giles begins to update her vaguely on what happened to Spike and Faith and the Hellmouth, Buffy thinks Giles is telling her that Faith has turned evil again and tried to take Spike's soul. When Giles clarifies that Faith sacrificed her Slayer power to save Spike's life, Buffy is immediately concerned for Faith and tells Giles that she should go back and help the other, now powerless, Slayer. Giles assures Buffy everything is fine, and that they even have a "new fighter" on Sunnydale (Connor.) Giles brushes off Buffy's questions about the new fighter and welcomes her to stay in England longer. Buffy decided to take Giles up on his offer. She still can't imagine Faith without power and assumes the other girl must be so depressed.
Meanwhile, Faith is with Spike at Angel's Santa Monica vacation house. Trashing bathrooms, getting out of handcuffs, and discussing power dynamics between sex games with a punk vampire named Spike who is still claiming he loves her even though the drama is over. Faith walks in on a conversation Spike is having with a mysterious friend—a girl. Faith's jealousy is quickly squashed when he shows his unwavering interest and appetite for her and The Mission.
Even meanwhile(er), Wood has a meeting with Alistair Crowley where the warlock shows him all the things Faith and Spike are up to. Wood sees Faith role playing with Spike pretending to be Lilah Morgan, and needless to say both Spike and Wood react to this differently. Wood doesn't take the Spike/Faith union well and he worries for Faith's safety in it. Crowley talks Wood into creating a more just world with him.
2x02 I'll See You in My Dreams. "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 19"
Dawn and Kennedy react to their dreams of Buffy dying in their own ways. Dawn feels powerless to help her sister who she thinks is in another dimension. Kennedy wants more time with Willow, and doesn't know why she is taking mysterious phone calls in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, Faith's dreams interrupt her time with Spike, but Spike is determined to continue their honeymoon-like bliss even if he has to kill the man in Faith's past that still gives her nightmares to do it. Faith uses her mad skillz to show him that isn't necessary.
Crowley and Wood try to get Wesley in on their plan to put a chip back into Spike's head. Wes realizes Crowley wants him in on the plan because that would ensure that it would be hidden from Angel, who might not like it. Crowley mentions he is getting the surviving Counsel back together. Wesley decides he is no longer interested in being apart of that as he just killed what he thought was his father (the cyborg) to protect Fred. It's clear Fred is showing more of an interest in Wes.
2x03 Glass House Part One "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 20"
Buffy is enjoying her time with Giles and his girlfriend Olivia (from "Hush) despite the fact that Spike just had a very rude phone conversation with her where Faith managed to somehow rub her new relationship with Spike in Buffy's face even though Faith didn't know it was Buffy on the phone. Buffy feels guilty for being a hypocrite for being mad that Faith is clearly using Spike for sex. Olivia helps Buffy realize she has a right to her own feelings. Buffy realizes one of those feelings is that she wants to stay in England longer. Giles seems distracted about something and suddenly announces he is leaving for a few days, but assures Buffy and Olivia he will be right back. Meanwhile back at the summer house Spike is upset when he learns a little more about Faith's abusive past. He has a flash of wanting to go back and kill these men that hurt her. Again, Faith quickly distracts him from this desire with down-playing jokes and sex, until his only desire is to give her affection. This seems to be what Faith wants too until Angel and Connor show up and she is ready to prove herself to Angel as someone who is still going to fight The Mission hard. Angel isn't really happy about the state of his vacation house. Spike isn't too happy that Connor accidentally seeing Faith's breasts but he quickly gets over it as it's clear Faith belongs to him. Spike then reminds Angel that nothing belongs to him and that the house belongs to Wolfram and Hart.
2x04 Glass House Part Two "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 22"
Connor and Spike start talking about how they beat-up Wes to try to stop him from doing the spell with Crowley that removed her Shadow Demon and Slayer Power. Faith then realizes that Spike and Connor were the ones that beat-up Wes so badly. She believes that Spike convinced Connor this was a good idea and she is livid. Connor tries to tell Faith that Spike did not use him and that Spike and Faith are the only people that never used him. This leads to Connor and Angel to have a simultaneous argument about the state of their relationship. Spike points out that though he now realizes that Wes was doing what he thought was right the spell would have killed Faith if Spike hadn't shown up to save her. Faith points out that if Faith hadn't done the spell with Crowley and Wes that she would have killed Spike as he burned his soul into her. Spike tells her that he is not like Angel, that he wanted to die for her, and that he wasn't going to let Wes do magic on Faith in order to "save his own ass" like when Wes convinced Faith to use Orpheus to basically die for Angel. Faith becomes even more livid and tells Spike that everything she did was her own idea. She believes that Spike beating on Wes and influencing Connor "erased all the good she ever did as a Slayer." Faith tells Spike they can no longer be together due to this. Spike scoffs at this and says she is only making up excuses to not be loved due to all the abuse and manipulation she has had from men in the past. Faith tells Connor she wants him to come back to Sunnydale with her, and it's best her and Spike are apart for awhile. Connor and Angel stop short at their argument realizing it eerily as similar themes, or maybe they stop because Spike goes nuts and tried to follow Faith out into the sun. Angel stops him physically and dryly as he is not impressed with Spike's dramatics. Connor tried to apologize to Spike who gone from raging to weeping to drinking in the 30 seconds of Faith's exit. Spike tells Connor he's wasting time and he should get back to where Faith wants him. Connor asks Angel to watch over Spike in his emotionally volatile state.
2x05 All for Her "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 23"
Spike is in Boston, Mass, following a girl that looks like a younger version of Faith from far away, or is he really following her retired 'Nam soldier and pillar to the community father? Who is John Devero? He was in the Wolfram and Hart records Spike stole. John was a trained torturer and killer, but now that all behind him and he lives in Back Bay adopting troubled young girls with his wife. Once, John adopted a little girl named Faith. Spike has a score to settle. He knows John is the root reason why Faith rejects his real love and lets Watcher's use her as vampire bait. He'll kill the no good bastard, and then he'll go to the next bastard that hurt her and the next…It will be good for his soul, but it really is all for her. Spike hadn't lost his touch when it comes to torturing and killing, John Devero goes down easy. Spike is sure his latest "daughter," Reese Devero, will be happy to be rid of him.
When he moves on to the next loser, her old boyfriend Ron Schilling that hurt Faith it gets a little harder. Ron is nothing more that a young git that thinks he's turned his life around with AA. Just as Spike was really getting to strangle the bloke, he starts in on how Spike isn't out to get any of these wankers for Faith; he's really doing it for himself.
Before Spike could get in a word edgewise Wood and Wes show up. They say they've come to stop Spike because he is killing again. Spike explains to him that the guy Spike is roughing up is someone in her past that wronged to her. Wood immediately tazers Ron and Spike curses tazers and says someone should get Ron to a hospital.
While Wood gets Ron medical help Spike actually starts talking Wes about his relationship problems with Faith. This surprises Wes and what surprises Wes even more in that he starts talking to Spike about his relationship problems with Fred. It turns out, Dawn Summers was interning at Wolfram and Hart she found evidence that Fred's lab assistant, Knox was going to turn her body over to be sacrificed to a god-king. No, naturally Wes killed Knox and Fred is livid about. For a moment the boys both commiserate being in the same situation with women. When Spike brings up he heard Wes called his cyborg "dad," Wes tells Spike he is nothing like him—out on a random kill spree just because Faith broke up with him. He tells Spike he is out of control. Spike becomes furious that Wes doesn't realize that Spike had just killed the most abusive man from Faith's past. All of his rage about Wes not caring enough about Faith resurfaces and he begins to choke him. Wood saves the day with more tazering of Spike. Wes thinks about this plan to chip Spike. Wes now has to be more vigilant in everything because he realizes danger can go everywhere—like to Fred.
2x06 Time is Running Out (or Sahjhan's Return) "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 24"
Faith is back in Sunnydale training Connor and getting stoned and talking about Greek gods with him. She is NOT going to talk about Spike, that bastard who said he believed in her and then turned out the think Wes made all her decisions. Connor points out that Spike does respect her, but had a right to fight her decision to die for him, just as Faith fought the decision to die for Spike. Faith doesn't want to hear it. Instead she falls asleep and has symbolic dreams of Greek gods and kissing a dying Buffy and/or getting grindage with a cryptic Spike. Buffy and Spike both tell Faith they never really left her and they need help. Then Kennedy wakes her up and tells her some vampires have taken Connor. He listens closely and it turns out he has been taken hostage by vampires working for the Rhoshobi demons, and one of them is there at first terrifying and then complaining that The Slayer has been allowed to "join" with the "un-cleansed one." The Rhoshobi argues with her demon boyfriend about what to do with the prophecy and it is clean the make demon has an agenda of his own.
Connor soon realizes he has been captured by Sahjahn, the demon that he is destined to kill. He feels like an idiot. He's supposed to be the one protecting Faith now. He feels even worse than an idiot when Sahjahn gives him something that makes him feel powerful, and then tells Connor it is the Slayer's blood. Sahjahn tells Connor he is truly a vampire and implies that giving him the Slayer's blood awakened it. Connor refuses to believe this is true.
Faith then rescues Connor with her "left-over" Slayer skill of sharp shooting with the wooden tip bullets Connor made. It becomes clear the demon couple (Sahjahn and Mina) have plans, albeit different plans for both of them. Sahjahn wants to end his doom prophecy with Connor and Mina fears what havoc Faith will cause for her demon race. However, both feel that they cannot directly Faith and Connor as they believe they will then cause their prophecies to be true. Faith learns from Mina that Spike has been kidnapped by the government (or some organization) and is being held underground near Sunnydale U.
2x07 The Exstinct Agenda- To Read go to "More or Less 7"
(this chapter is missing on the forget-me-not page)
Wesley is working with the reunited Watchers and being really patient with his nagging father (who is one of them.) The first item on the agenda: Re-chip Spike. Wes's father hates that Wes has teamed up with this faction of the American government who seems to want to make one of the most dangerous vampires in history a semi-cognizant killing cyborg that is under their control. He reminds Wesley that in the good old days they would have just staked Spike. Wesley is curious about the young scientist, Shelley Walsh's true agenda himself. The girl is brilliant but not as brilliant as Fred (who knows nothing about the chipping Spike plan or Wesley's current dealings with the government.) Wesley knows he has to keep secrets and keep one step ahead if he is going to keep Fred (and everyone) safe since they all made this deal with Wolfram and Hart. Shelley Walsh is overly fearful when Spike comes to and has a verbal showdown with everyone in the room including Walsh, Wood and Wes's father. None of Spike's tirades are as scathing as the one he makes to Wes while Wes's father simultaneously nags him. Spike and Wes's father both come to the point that Wes did not kill Faith. Spike accuses Wesley of secretly wanting to kill her after she was redeemed for humiliating him. Wesley's father believes Wes should have killed Faith when she went rogue and when he didn't he humiliated himself. Both berate Wes for not being a better man. Wesley says that he is working towards something larger and patients is needed (though we don't know to who.) Shelley Walsh them loses her professional demeanor and knocks Spike out while spouting obscenities about Spike and The Slayer. She tells her team of scientists to do a code blue and that "wipe out everything" in Spike.
Later, Wesley meets with Spike, who doesn't seem to make that much sense after his torture. However, Wes explains that he had to allow the government and Watchers to capture Spike to learn of their true agenda in order to protect everyone. Wes says that Faith is in danger with The Watchers and this government group teaming up. He tells Spike to leave and to protect Faith at all costs, which Wes knows he will do.
Then Wes runs into Giles who is also "undercover" with The Watchers. Giles is impressed when Wes getting this far. However, this is short lived when Wes tells Giles he let Spike go. Giles demands to know why Wes hadn't read the full report Giles gave him as it explains Spike is now a dangerous barely aware killing machine whose first agenda is to kill Faith.
2x08 Get Him Back "Forget Me Not Series- Chapter 26"
After finding out from Sahjahn that The Rhoshobi demons made a deal with the government to capture Spike, Faith decides to storm into The Sunnydale University compound to rescue him. Willow, Xander, Connor and Kennedy accompanied Faith on to the Sunnydale campus. Willow and Xander are worried as Faith seems to have no plan other than storming into the compound with guns. Even though most of the guns are loaded with tranquilizers some are loaded with wooden-tipped bullets (designed by Connor) that will kill vampires and people. Things become tense between Willow and Faith when Faith doesn't seem to care if people get in her way in rescuing Spike. Willow becomes increasingly angry about Faith's flippant attitude and calls her "twisted" and "selfish." Kennedy and Connor stick up for Faith. Faith does not seem to be hurt by this in the least. She actually congratulates Willow for speaking her mind. She does become upset, however, when Willow reveals that Buffy often chose to plan and wait whenever Spike was kidnapped.
Tired of the arguing, Xander goes off and immediately comes back saying he found Spike sitting in the dark under a tree watching them. Xander also says that he thinks something is really wrong with Spike and that he thinks someone tried to make him into "a new Adam." Not knowing who Adam was Faith doesn't listen. Instead, she is livid and thinks Spike is just having fun watching them fight. She runs over and begins to yell at him. When Spike starts talking incoherently and tells her to go away she thinks he is drunk. Ignoring Xander's warnings she goes to drag Spike off the ground and he smacks her and continues to make no sense.
Faith starts to realize something is really wrong with Spike. He demands that she runs while he grabs her arm so hard he begins to crush it. As he comes into the light she can see his head has been shaved and it has a large micro-chip embedded into it. He then takes her sword and chops his own hand off that is crushing her arm. Faith is able to grab Spike's hand He talks about being triggered and Xander recognizes the word and drags Faith away. Connor then is able to shoot Spike with a tranquilizer gun.
Things then continue to be tense with Faith and Willow in the car as Faith demands Willow use magic to fix what is wrong with Spike. When they get Spike back to Kennedy and Faith's house he raises again only this time he seems to completely be acting as a machine as visible liquid metal courses through his veins. Connor jumps into subdue him and when it is clear Connor is losing the fight Faith shoots Spike right through the heart with one of the wooden tipped bullets. Faith seems numb, but she assures Connor that she would never want to sacrifice him for a chance to save Spike. Before anyone can grieve too much they realize Spike's body is still there. He becomes conscious again and tries to talk to Faith. He is able to talk to Faith a little more clearly about how much he's suffering for being forced to hurt her. He shows her he cannot die as he tries to stake himself. He then takes the tranquilizer gun and shoots himself in the head several times until he is no longer conscious. While Faith is shaky around Spike's severed hand Willow is perfectly calm and able to sew it back on and tells her she can repair it with a spell. As the two women talk it becomes clear to Willow just how close Faith truly is to Spike. Willow then begins to compliment Faith on her willingness to protect Connor. Faith shrugs off her compliments saying she knows she is selfish because the only thing she cares about is getting Spike back. Willow insists that Faith is not selfish and attempts to tell Faith she is indeed a good person when she hears helicopters. Faith knows it's "the government guys that did this to Spike" and she grabs a gun and tells Willow that she is going to kill "everyone of these mother fuckers before they get Spike again." Willow gets concerned.

No, this is, definitely, not what I expected.
It isn't like you got up this morning, or any other morning, with the alarm clock buzzing inside your head. Knocking it off your nightstand, you stagger to your feet. Forcing your eyelids open, you look into the mirror. Looking back at you stands a vacant post-a-note begging you to fill it in with your daily goals and intentions list. The very ones which didn't include being robbed, shot at or nearly being run over by a car careening through your workplace window. It probably didn't include anything like what you experienced. Yet it happened. You were there. You didn't choose it but now you must deal with it; even if dealing with it means ignoring it. Then to choose how you might possibly get through this.
Now what? First; acknowledge what happened. Even that it did happen. Next; give yourself a chance to grieve and to get the support you need; a trip to the gym; a new pair of shoes; a case of tissue paper; an incredible friend; your dog . . . Give yourself permission to be who you are in this moment.
Finally; look at what happened . . . How did you handle it? What did you do to help the situation? How did your choices impact you? What was happening around you? Through answering these questions, you may discover how you might have significantly impacted your own or someone's life for the better. If the memories feel a bit insurmountable, ask yourself; Is this happening now? Am I safe now?
You already have what you need. You faced the impossible. Now too, you have what you need to move forward. No one knew at the time of the incident how they were going to make it through, but they did. No one knows how they will make it through now, but for most, they will. Take some time to identify and acknowledge the gifts, skills and strengths you already have. By doing so, it expands the path ahead of you and acknowledges the change which has already happened.

If you apply for asylum the first thing that will be checked is whether you have been to any other country of the European Union before. If this is the case – either because you have left your fingerprints somewhere or they find evidence by what you say or carry with you (coins, train tickets, etc.) your application or asylum will not be treated in Austria but they will try to deport you back to this country.
If you have given your fingerprints to authorities in Bulgaria and you don't stay there but continue your journey, you might get threatened to be deported back to Bulgaria. This is based on the so-called Dublin-regulation. The good news is: in many cases the people, who had to give their fingerprints in Bulgaria will not be deported back in the end. Here you will find some useful information, which way a deportation to Bulgaria can be avoided.
The Danish Immigration Service is responsible for handling your Dublin case. You can appeal Dublin decisions before you are transferred. You have 7 days to appeal the decision after it has been made. For your appeal you have access to free legal aid by 'Dansk Flygtningehjælp' (Danish Refugee Council). The appeal will be handled by The Refugee Appeals Board (Flygtningenævnet).
The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) examines whether the applicant: has submitted an application in another country following the Dublin II regulation (EU-countries, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland); has a family member with refugee status in said countries; has a visa or a residency permit granted by one of said countries; or has entered Finland illegally via one of the said countries. In case one of these conditions of Dublin regulation is fulfilled, another state is responsible for examining the application and Migri can return the applicant to the state responsible. At this moment Finland doesn't return people to Greece.
The Dublin III procedure (passage through another Member State of the European Union) - A guide by Gisti (Groupe d'information et de soutien des immigré·e·s), an organisation specialised in immigration law in France, in seven languages.
If you have given your fingerprints to authorities in other European countries, for example in Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary or Greece on your way or even in other countries where you have applied for asylum before and you don't stay there but continue your journey, you might get threatened to be deported back. This is based on the so-called Dublin-regulation.
When you are threatened with "Dublin"-deportations this does not mean that finally you will be really deported. There are many people who have overcome the deportation threat and their asylum case has to be handled finally in Germany. Less then 10% are deported right now. The first step is to get organised for your right to stay.
On the 8th of December 2016, the European Union Commission suggested the resumption of Dublin Returns to Greece, beginning in March 2017. Germany suggested already that it agreed that Greece had sufficiently improved the conditions for refugees, so that Germany would plan to re-start the returns from the 15th of March. With this announcement, the European governments show that they close their eyes to the fact that the living and detention conditions in the Greek camps continue to be deplorable and inhuman, that access to the asylum procedure is still not guaranteed, that procedures remain dysfunctional in general and that many of refugees continue to suffer from inhuman and degrading treatment while being stuck in Greece. The European Commission's recommendation included a gradual resumption of returns, with a first focus to return the ones who arrived in Europe after this date (15th of March) and not including unaccompanied minors or other vulnerable persons at that point.
Macedonia is not part of the Dublin III Convention (follow-up of Dublin II, since January 15th 2014) agreement. This means that you can ask for asylum or have your fingerprints taken in Macedonia without having problems while asking for asylum in another Dublin country afterwards. But we have signed a readmission agreement with Serbia – which means that Serbia can return the asylum seekers to Macedonia.
As Romania has not been a major transit country in the past, there have been very few Dublin returns to Romania until now.
Serbia is not part of the Dublin III (follow-up of Dublin II, since January 15th 2014) agreement. This means that you can ask for asylum or have your fingerprints taken in Serbia without problems to ask asylum in another European country after.
A ruling by the Migration Court of Appeal (MCA) stopped all forced returns of asylum-seekers from Sweden to Greece under the Dublin regulations. All the cases concerning Dublin to Greece get their asylum process in Sweden. All the cases are not yet in process but on the way to be processed.
Even if not member of the European Union, Switzerland is part of the Schengen and Dublin agreements. You will find detailed statistics on Dublin-deportations at the end of the documents listed here. You can find further informations here. Should you or someone you know be affected by a 'Dublin Decision' ("Nichteintretensentscheid gemäss Art. 31a Abs. 1 Bst. b AsylG"), you have only five working days to appeal. It is advisable, to consult one of the free legal advisory centres for asylum seekers – follow this link – as soon as possible. We also advice you to read the German Dublin-section of our Webguide.
The UK Border Agency suspended returns of asylum seekers to Greece
under the Dublin II Regulation in the end of September 2010. With
immediate effect the backlog of approximately 1300 cases and all new
cases will have their applications heard in the UK, and not be deported
to Greece. This is a great relief to all those facing return to the
"broken asylum system" of Greece.

Pun Shortage Causes Protests
A lack of fresh and diverse Fairview puns has caused school-wide protests, as well as calls for new leadership among those responsible for the pun shortage.
Recently, students and staff have been bravely speaking out, acknowledging the lack of simple and stupid humor.
"There are only, like, three puns," said junior Annie Wallis. "There are a couple ones like 'take back the knight', but not much else."
Indeed, the homonymous relationship between the words 'knight' and 'night' has been the focus of most Fairview puns. Such puns simply take a sentence, such as 'it's night time', and use the word 'knight' instead.
"We just thought it was funny that 'night' and 'knight' sound the same, so we try to use that in a lot of our puns," said Harry Knu, president of the Fairview Pun Club.
Another common pun plays on the school's name and its proximity to the Flatirons.
In the wake of several similar prom themes over the past few years, senior have been hoping for a more original theme.
"All of the themes have been the same," said senior Jessica Kale. "We've had a Knight at the Museum, a Knight on the Titanic, a Knight in Hollywood, and it's just not fun anymore."
This thirst for newer and different puns has caused protests against the pun club and calls for new leadership in the wake of Knu's failure.
"Knu is no longer fit to provide our community with humorous phrases," said Young. "There is currently a movement to get him impeached or something. We'll see how that goes."
Peaceful protests have been led by unhappy members of the club, such as sophomores Niel Kneel and Fiona Heckman. These include a boycott of the current unpopular puns and rally in the student center for the first female Pun Club presidential candidate, Keller Wert.
"The Pun Club's duty is to make Fairview laugh, and occasionally groan, but right now we are failing," said Heckman.
Kneel said that so far the protests have been peaceful, and he hopes to keep it that way.
"We don't want trouble," said Kneel. "We just want change."
Heckman feels more strongly about the issue, and has considered more radical solutions, such as anarchy.
"It's time for Knu to go beddy-bye," she said. "It's knight time for him."

Tracking Debris from US Spy Satellite USA 193; Delays to Rocket Launch
The shoot down of US spy satellite USA 193 was condemned by some quarters of the international community. However, the fact remains, this was a resounding success for the US military. Observers of the operation to destroy the potentially dangerous satellite likened it to "trying to fire a missile through the eye of a needle". After all, the dead satellite was orbiting at a height of about 250 km, and the satellite-killing missile was fired from a boat; assuring impact with an object the size of a small bus was never going to be easy. But the mission was a success and the satellite disintegrated into bits (no bigger than a football). Now the task of tracking the debris is under way, and the fallout from last months fireworks are impacting the scheduled launch of other space missions…
According to CelesTrak, there are 52 catalogued bits of USA 193 orbiting the Earth. The pieces range in altitude from 167 km (at the closest approach) to over 2,600 km (at apogee – the highest point of orbit) and they are being tracked with great accuracy (pictured above).
The 5,000 pound (2,300 kg) satellite apparently disintegrated into many small pieces of debris, each no bigger than the volume of a football (equivalent to a circle with a diameter of 20 cm). Anything smaller than 10 cm cannot be tracked with any degree of accuracy, so an analysis by CelesTrak (pictured left) shows the upper and lower bounds of debris that can be tracked and how long they are likely to stay in orbit.
As a rule, larger pieces of debris will remain in orbit for longer, whilst the smaller objects will have less momentum to stay above the Earths atmosphere. As can be seen, most of the debris can be expected to burn up through atmospheric re-entry within 30 days, but there is a massive difference in the lifetime of the remaining 10 cm debris when compared with the 20 cm debris. The remaining 5% of large chunks of satellite are projected to stay in orbit for 50 days longer than their smaller cousins.
Tracking these bits of debris is an arduous task, but the monitoring continues. The destruction of USA 193 has influenced the scheduled launch of rockets since February 20th, and disruption is likely to continue should these larger pieces of debris pass through spacecraft launch windows. The launch of a US National Reconnaissance Office NROL-28 reconnaissance satellite last Friday from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, has been postponed for two weeks until the USA 193 debris poses no threat of collision.

When will we learn you can't clear the garbage using handgrenades…. you need to use a "dustpan and broom", else we are going to see ourselves locked in here with no satalites (read no modern culture), till mother (nature) cleans up for us in a few decades. Are we realy that badly spolt brats
-> Graham: The problem of long-lived debris is true for the Chinese downing of a bird in January 2007, not for this one. Read the article again!
Doesn't the perfection of this ability mean that we can count on the destruction of every sattelite up there in the event of a war or the threat of one making somebody a little nervous? We supplied Saddam-Hussein sattelite information on Iranian troop deployments during their war. What would keep a country so threatened by third nation interference (like us) from eliminating that threat? And who could blame them?
Sorry folks, ain't nothing new about this. I worked on classified ASAT [anti-satellite] programs back in the early 80s and we developed this "flying brick" capability back then. We just never used it on a live target thanks to the cowardice of the US Congress. Our tests were to theoretical "points in space."
Many satellites continue to be endangered. See the list. .98KM is MUCH too close.
This event endangered ALL of the satellites in LEO.
The risk to satellites from the Chinese debris is MUCH WORSE.
Our satelites are vulnerable to our own star's whims. A massive ejection directed at Earth will probably disable most communication satellites.
How will we cleanup the mess then?
We need to have a system of garbage collection & disposal.
Maybe the Mafia will be interested?
There will certainly be a lot of money to be made.
Any Ideas on how this could be done?
There are still 16 trackable (bigger than 10 cm) pieces up.
