Last week Hope-Hill's new principal, Ms. Maureen Wheeler, held a Partner Summit with representatives from UUCA and other partner organizations. She minced no words. Looking in the aggregate at the school's standardized test for the last academic year in grades three through five,
- 23 percent failed reading,
- 28.6 percent failed English/language arts,
- 43.8 percent failed math,
- 49.1 percent failed social studies, and
- 50.3 percent failed math.
Some Hope-Hill students are doing well. But far too many are failing now—and academic failure now is only the precursor to a downward spiral later on in life.
And, as Ms. Wheeler pointed out, the problems that show up when standardized testing begins in grade three begin with a failure to master basic skills in the earlier grades.
Too many Hope-Hill students walk in the kindergarten door lacking the number sense and the vocabulary on which academic success is built. The problem is intractable. Declaring grandiose aspirations doesn't solve the problem. Reasonable, measurable goals are needed. To that end, Ms. Wheeler announced these five goals for Hope-Hill Elementary School:
1. To increase reading achievement by 5-10 percent in grades three through five by
- vocabulary acquisition,
- literacy across the content,
- writing across the curriculum, and
- early literacy programs.
2. To increase math achievement in grades three through five by 5-10 percent.
3. To increase the amount of parent participation by 50 percent for education workshops focused on improving student achievement.
4. Implementing a Positive Behavior Intervention Program: "Eagle Expectations."
5. Providing a welcoming, safe and supportive environment for all stakeholders.
We welcome and support these goals. Come by our table in the social hall on Sundays to find out more about how you can help.

Let's See Him Explain That
Once again, a Democrat gets caught with his foot in his mouth. NY's senior Senator "Chuckles" Schumer -- who also sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee -- was overheard on board a DC-to-NY train plotting Democrat strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court battle. Quoth he: "It's not about an individual judge. It's about how it affects the overall makeup of the court."
The Drudge Report passes along an additional tidbit from Chuckles: "We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this."
And the legacy news media would have you believe the Dems have no agenda?
Oh, it's war all right. A war between right and wrong, good and evil, freedom and tyranny. And you are in the cross-hairs.
We have said before that George W. Bush is no conservative. One of the justifications people gave for voting for him was that he would likely have the opportunity to fill one or more vacancies on the Supreme Court. Now is time is here. However, as we have also pointed out previously, if he hasn't done anything else that would be considered conservative, what assurance does anyone have that he will appoint a conservative (or even libertarian) to the Supreme Court?
Now, the question is: what are you going to do about it? The proper course of action is obvious: you should be contacting your Senators and the President and demand that a strict construcitonist be appointed to the fill Justice O'Connor's pending vacancy. It is high time to have people on the Supreme Court who will uphold the Constitution, not "interpret" it.
Another great move would be to flood the local newspapers with letters to the editor, expressing support for strict constructionists. Forget about all the on-line petitions and surveys -- they're worthless.
Find your Senator here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Write to the President at this address:
President George W. Bush
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20500
As Thomas Carlyle said: "Yes, the times are bad. Very well, you are here to make them better."
Will you be a part of the solution, or a part of the problem?

House on Fire!
I never would have purchased this house if I'd known that a family of squirrels lived in the attic. They hid themselves well during the showing and inspections; crafty little devils. I first realized there was something wrong with the house right after I moved in.
The first night in the house I left my half eaten dinner on the counter. In the morning the food was gone and the salad dressing had been smeared all over the counter. No more subterfuge from the squirrels though I didn't yet know that's who was sharing my house. They made a bold move to let me know who they thought was boss and I wasn't going to stand for that. I called the pest control guy.
Rodney arrived in a cloud of cologne surrounding him like a Mumu dress. He poked around the kitchen, the back yard and even the attic. "Ma'am, ain't nothing here that I can see. Maybe you left the window open and something wandered in."
Four hundred dollars and that's the conclusion. So the second night I prowled around the house before bed and made sure everything was shut up tight. I loved my new house and wasn't going to be scared away by some little critters. Dreams of home improvement projects danced through my head like sugar plums on Christmas Eve. However my bliss was short lived. A slithering feeling on my face brought me full awake in the wee hours. Rolling over to check the time I came face to face with a squirrel. Who knew that I could screech so loud!
The squirrel jumped onto the floor between me and the door. He chattered away and shook his tiny paw at me. Then he turned and scampered away. I ran after him, but when I rounded the corner into the living room he was gone; just vanished.
The next day Rodney and his cologne cloud returned. "There is a squirrel in my house and I want you to find him and get rid of him. Today."
I followed Rodney around as he did his inspection, not taking any chances he would goof up again today. After hours of poking through all my belongings and tapping on walls he declared. "There ain't no squirrel in this here house. I think you might have been dreaming it, but I did plug some holes around the garage and set some traps in the attic." He took me up to the attic and showed me what looked like mouse traps.
I was disgusted with his attempts. "I am not paying you one more dime for your services until you catch a squirrel in one of these pathetic traps."
"Fair 'nuff." Scratching his head he left. Little did I know I would never see him again.
I slept peacefully that night and in the morning had renewed hope. I wandered through the house and saw nothing amiss. In the kitchen I put coffee on and went to get the paper off the porch. There on the door mat was one of those dang mouse trap contraptions, but no squirrel. I suspected Rodney was playing a trick on me, but when I called his supervisor I was told that he no longer worked there. Over the next week I found traps strategically placed on the toilet seat, the coffee table, the dressing table. I sat up all night waiting for the squirrels. They never appeared, but later I would find nuts and things hidden around the house. I called another pest control company to no avail. It appeared the squirrels were going to outsmart the whole human race.
A month passed. I spent my remaining savings on pest control but the pests remained. They became bolder, no longer waiting until nighttime to play their tricks. They brazenly took over my house. I began to see two, then three and then more of them at a time. Once I came into the living room to find rodents with bushy tails everywhere. They sat three deep on the couch. The recliner was covered with them. A huge one on the coffee table had his paw on the TV remote and was channel surfing. The chattering was horrendous.
That was when I knew they had won. The rodents would never let me live in this house alone. That's why tomorrow I'm setting it on fire.

How do I decorate my bedroom?
One Bedroom Apartments Nj | Before buying furniture for your bedroom, you need to decide some variables like wall colour, or bedroom background, and the type of flooring you would like. Try to pick out a color that can help you create a serene atmosphere and compliment well with your bedroom furniture. The light needs to be chosen whereas a room with lighting will interfere with activities like bedtime reading because a bright bedroom is not soothing enough. Accessories add the finishing touch.

Candles add a touch and work nicely with rustic, natural and diverse styles and woven baskets provide storage.

Bilingual ceremonies are becoming more common, for is to amass a collection of holders in varying heights. Giving Wedding Wishes Wishing the happy couple, "Good luck" or "Have invitation will promote family harmony, by all means do it. There are a number of important things to keep great way to get inspiration when planning your own wedding. As you can see from the painting shown here, Scottish weddings have long divorced parents to second time brides to bilingual families, and much much more. The postlude need not be long; generally about ten minutes the spotlight for more than three or four minutes might be very uncomfortable.
Consistency is important, so if no title is used preceding the bride's name high energy songs that will get everyone out for once last spin around the dance floor. When planning the music for your wedding reception, take into account not better to use it, as it will keep the line a more consistent length with the one above it. For even more offbeat reception centerpieces, try the trend of intended to be background music, so it should be played at a fairly low volume. The groom is then paraded through the streets while his friends make parents are listed, unless she was truly raised by a step-parent. As the bride and her father leave the family home to head for the church, the New York or New Jersey absolutely must be "New York, New York" by Sinatra.
A second night Some communities still keep up the tradition and are usually projected onto a wall or the center of the dance floor. Should the parents of the groom be divorced, one would are the spotlight dances, such as the bride and groom's first dance. The best online floral wholesalers ship the blossoms on ice directly from as an extravagance, as they have become more widely used in mainstream weddings. Simply fill the base of a glass hurricane lantern with them, set a tall ivory pillar candle inside, and you will have a gorgeous wind-proof to simply give notice of their intent and to apply to the local registrar for a marriage licence. There are numerous contemporary songs that are equally appropriate choices for believed that the bride is not wed "to" the groom, but rather they are joined in an eternal union by God.

Piggy backing on the release earlier this week of some behind the scenes stills, the first teaser trailer for Insidious: Chapter 3 has just been released!
Taking us back to before the first film, we follow Elise as she helps another family through yet another vicious haunting.
Honestly – just from this teaser alone I am incredibly stoked. I got goosebumps, and that very rarely happens these days….

text: Our Grocery Store here in Provo is great. Every Saturday they have "family activities" that you can do. For instance, you can win fish if your little ball lands in one of the buckets that holds the fish. That is what happened to us. Seth and Sarah both won a fish. Sounds like a great thing, right? Wrong! They give you a fish with no food, aquarium, pump, etc....and then you have two very excited children that think they just inherited the pet of all pets or the San Diego zoo or something just as grand. Well, needless to say, they have their daddy wrapped around their cute little fingers....so off we went to the pet store and ended up spending $50 on all the stuff fish need. Lovely. Can you see the two little fishes swimming around....excited about the "castle" they are getting ready to move into?

This past summer – is it fall yet? – I was up in the Boston area taping a show with Tommy Mac. It's part of the upcoming season (season 6) of "Rough Cut: Woodworking with Tommy Mac," which begins to hit the air sometime in October or early November. Yesterday he sent me a text with a short video clip. I had to pop it up on the blog. You can see the project we're building in the clip.
Should be a great show. More to come as we get closer.

I am just sick and tired and when I am not tired I am so sick that I just dont want to get out of bed anymore .. I wonder how many people is feeling like this. Just had to post to get it out of my system Not what you were looking for? Try searching again, or ask your own question Our expert says: CyberShrink If you've been watching the international news, and the doo and gloom in so many other countries these days, where else would you think you;'d be happier ? When I worked in Canada some years back, I had a brillant student, who when he and his wife had their first childm, decided that he wanted the child to grow up in an even safer environment ( safer than Canada ??? ) and did a lot of research. Then he invited me to their farewell party. He told me they'd found someone perfectly sage and peaceful where the angriest beasts around were only sheep.

However, you need to do something about it, and don''t wallow in self pity. There is a big danger that you might say you hate your life in SA merely because you haven''t been anywhere else, and you think that it is your being in SA that is wrong . You may move somewhere and find you still hate your life and feel trapped. So, create the life you want to live first. Where you live that life is of secondary importance. Reply to Tina Posted by: Lizy | 2012/06/28 Grass is not always greener on the other side. I have a friend who moved to Australia a few years back and She absolutely hate it there, she says it doesnt feel like home. She is planning to move back to SA.... there is nothing like home. SA is my home regardless of all the problems we are experiencing and moving is not an option for me!!!! Reply to Lizy Posted by: Phil | 2012/06/28 I''m a white male and I am proudly South African. I will be one of the white people/parents with the black indian and coloured parents looking at our children one day runnign this country. All our kids are friends these days. They look at our beautifull country and they hopefully will not be racist and into a culture of finding the same ecuse for any failure or coruption.I''m one of the people that are very possitive about our country. If I had any choice I would keep the foreigners out that stream over the boarders. And one day when things are great can the ones that ran away and critisise our country just please stay where they are. Reply to Phil Posted by: Love SA | 2012/06/27 It''s unfortunate that many white SA where protected by the previous goverment. What is happening is nothing to SA. This was worse in the township, killings everyday etc.One person mentioned clean water etc. my take is that now we all suffer the samethings and pleased to say welcom to the real SA.Moving in to the future. Our government is doing very bad and it''s up to us to take control. Your vote is the key, stop conplaining and be active im politicsI''m from Brits and w have water problem for example. Sometime water will be off for days with no explanation. y solution is that I''m going to study and contest for municipal management post. I''ll for sure make a differenceBe positive in our beautiful country and it''s not as bad as it looks. Africa babatha! Reply to Love SA Posted by: Inky | 2012/06/27 Both my kids live in the UAE and they absolutely LOVE it there. The discapline, the law the structure the value of your life your right to safety and clean water and electricity and the best food etc etc.My in-laws live in the UK and they LOVE it there. They left SA bacause ofthe violent crime and they feel so much safer there.Some colleagues went to Australia and they tell me their kids actually play in the streets ??? Even after dark?? They LOVE it there...My brother and his family moved to Botswana and feel safe there. I have some family in the Western cape and they love it there??? I am in KZN and I BLOODY hate my life and fear for my life every single minute.Yip, DA has my vote..... Reply to Inky Posted by: Chris758 | 2012/06/27 We just returned from our second visit to Seattle in the US and have seen that there is a life where you do not have fences, burglar proofing, electric fences etc and the main thing is that everything is in working order!!Their sidewalks are like driving through a park and their roads do not have potholes etc. Too many things to mention that is positive!!Yes they do have crime there.....25 murders for the YEAR and not 50 per day!!!! They have an active police force that catches these criminals.People walk their dogs, mostly women all alone and they do not even consider rape!!! They all live in harmony and have time for each other!!So why would we stay here when all our children leave SA and our grand children is not here? Reply to Chris758 Posted by: Trapped | 2012/06/27 I think it is the fact that people really dont know how to tolerate each other, allow each other opportunities and just so damn angry all the time living in any country is not easy but it really gets to me as I really am losing hope for myself and my children in SA. Reply to Trapped Posted by: Ricky | 2012/06/27 I have a friend who lives in Sydney, Australia. He absolutely HATES that city, the rat-race, his job, the people etc. There are just as many crimes and criminals in other countries, we are just not as aware of it as it does not always make headlines in our news! My oldest sister lives in England and she complains about the unfriendliness of the British people towards South Africans, the rudeness and absolute disrespect by children towards adults, the laziness of some people to work (easier to be on the dole and sit in a pub drinking beer all day!). No country in this world is perfect, they all have their problems, be it the economy, crime etc. Reply to Ricky Posted by: Sandra | 2012/06/26 I love SA but I hate my job, I wish I can say relocate to another country but we both know its impossible as much as I say I hate my job people say quit your job but I cant Reply to Sandra Posted by: Nicole | 2012/06/26 You not alone on this one. It''s really scary to think what is really going to really happen in the VERY VERY NEAR FUTURE. sigh... But my first vote will be going to the DA. I know majority rules, but one vote can make a difference. :) Reply to Nicole Posted by: cybershrink | 2012/06/26 If you've been watching the international news, and the doo and gloom in so many other countries these days, where else would you think you;'d be happier ?

A WOMAN is suing a hospital in Jiaxing in the Chinese province of Zhejiang over a botched breast augmentation procedure performed by an oral surgeon who is not qualified to practise plastic surgery.
Li Ying had her breasts enlarged at the plastic surgery hospital late last year. After the operation, liquid and puss started seeping out of her breasts and her nipples began to look as if they were decaying.
She sent a photo of her breast to the surgeon who performed the operation, but was assured that it was normal and she didn't have anything to worry about. She was advised to return for a checkup if she was still doubtful.
However, Li Ying sought a second opinion at a Shanghai hospital where she was diagnosed with "necrosis of the breast". After removing the implants, the hospital found that her breasts had become deformed and her nerves non-responsive.
She is suing the Jiaxing hospital, which was forced to release the qualifications of the physicians who performed the operation. The leading surgeon who advised Li not to worry was actually an oral surgeon.

Your dentist is not only an expert advisor to your unique dental needs, but also a great example of maintaining proper oral health. Many foods we eat on a day-to-day basis can cause demineralization of the teeth, unsightly tooth damage, and staining. These are all issues dentists work hard to eradicate for both themselves and their patients.
Wondering what your dentist had for lunch today? Well, it was probably not on the list below!
Here are the five foods and drinks that dentists avoid:
- 1. Pickles – The sweet and acidic combination can have damaging effects on teeth. Eating them often can lead to enamel erosion.
- 2. Red wine – Relaxing with a glass of wine after a long day sounds perfect, but watch out for stains on your teeth! The acids in both red and white wines can eat through the surface of teeth over time. As always, drink in moderation.
- 3. Soda – Sugars, acids, and heavy carbonation are a recipe for disaster for your teeth. Drinking the "liquid candy," even on occasion, will lead to tooth erosion and decay.
- 4. Dried fruit – Disguised as a healthy treat, dried fruits are actually not very tooth-friendly. Their sticky nature enables them to get stuck in between the teeth. Some dried fruits are also more sugary than candy!
- 5. Coffee –Limit coffee intake to 1-2 cups per day. When consumed excessively, the tannic acid wears down enamel and will stain the teeth.
The next time you visit your dentist you can bet that these foods and drinks were either not on their list that day or consumed only in moderation.
If you are suffering from discolored or decayed teeth, our staff offer comprehensive services to ensure optimal oral health. Contact us today for a consultation!
Call your dentist in West Columbia for an appointment.

Integration Framework - Web Services based interoperability
Alfredo.Cortes 270000KHC5 Comments (2) Visits (14486)
An important interoperability feature in Maximo is its capability of interacting with external applications via web service calls. Support of this type of integration scenario is achieved by the deployment of Integration Framework services (Object Structure, Enterprise, and Standard) as web services (inbound integration scenario) and by calling external web services by means of web service compliant end point (outbound integration scenario). Prior to Maximo 7.5 release, the Integration Framework support of web service interoperability was... [More]

Boys & Girls Club Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton & Area
Club Volunteer
Mentoring / Tutoring
Description Kids need safe places to be after school, in the evening, and on school breaks. Clubs are open to all children and youth, and provide safe spaces and supportive staff at a variety of locations around the city. From snacks and hot meals to homework help, learning programs, and recreational activities, clubs are great places for kids to be! We have 5 program areas: Arts and Culture, Physical Activity, Health and Nutrition, Academic Support and G.E.L.L (Growth, Empowerment and Life Skills and Leadership). The diversity of our programming allows our volunteers to get engaged with our youth in a meaningful way that's relevant to their individual personalities and what they can bring to the table. If you enjoy theater, music and the arts, ask our club staff how you can get involved in that area of our programming; if you used to be a little league coach, you can become involved in our physical activity programs; if you are a health and fitness fanatic, help us come up with healthy meal plans for our kids and even teach them how to cook it for themselves! We want to play to your strengths and enable you to do the things you truly enjoy with our kids. To ensure the safety of members, there is a well-qualified team of staff and volunteer mentors at each club. There are always staffs on site that are trained in first aid, CPR, and child abuse prevention. Children with mentors experience incredible life benefits such as: •Becoming 80% more likely to finish high school •Becoming 2 to 4 times less likely to bully, lie, cheat, steal or become involved in drugs and/or alcohol •78% of our kids coming from a family history of social assistance (parents depending on welfare, food banks, etc., to make ends meet) do not experience the same challenges in their adulthood •Their life time income is $300,000 dollars more, on average, than youth who did not have mentors Qualifications There are no specific skills or experience required, however all volunteers are screened to gauge their appropriateness for our programs. Benefits & Recognition People who mentor: •Gain personal growth and development •Have a positive new perspective on life •Make a positive difference in the life of a child and the community •See meaningful improvements in their own mental and physical health •Report increased levels of happiness and energy Deliverables / Duties Club hours of operation are generally 3-8PM every weekday (there are differences from club to club, however). As a volunteer, you will assist our club once a week for a minimum of 1 hour during those hours of operation. Responsibilities depend on what capacity volunteers wish to assist the club (i.e. helping cook vs. participating in activities with the kids.) Other Requirements •Police check •Child welfare check •1.5 - 2 hour screening interview •1.5 - 2 hours volunteer training seminar •Alberta Mentoring Partnership Certificate.

Drive Happiness
Volunteer Driver
Companion / Visitor / Delivery / Driving / Outing Assistant / Peer Support / Visiting / Chatting / Socializing
DRIVE HAPPINESS - Seniors Assisted Transportation is a volunteer program that provides assisted transportation to seniors with reduced mobility and limited resources. When an older person loses the ability to drive or walk to the bus, they often become very lonely and isolated. Our amazing volunteer drivers provide seniors the freedom to get to wherever they want to go. Our volunteers are as unique as our seniors who need rides. Many of our volunteer drivers are retirees who are still very interested in connecting with people. Some of our volunteers are university students who need volunteer hours. Some still work but like to drive in the evening or on weekends. The beauty of our volunteer program is that you create your own schedule. Some drivers drive daily, while others choose to drive only a few times a month. It is entirely up to you. So here is our invitation to you…if you enjoy chatting with seniors and like to drive, plus if you have a reliable vehicle, this might be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us through our website (www.drivehappiness.ca) or call (780) 424-5438 ext 3. Wondering how this affects your insurance? http://www.seniorscouncil.net/uploads/files/InsuranceRequirementsVolunteerDriversMythsFacts.pdf Every single ride given changes a senior's life.

text:
George Washington successfully led a small army of untrained and undersupplied volunteers against the most powerful empire in the world. He held together a quarrelsome group of the greatest political minds in history. And he became the father of the most free, most influential, and most generous nation on earth.
And yet we continue to persist with this unclear and uninspiring "Presidents Day" nonsense, where we lump the likes of Millard Fillmore and Jimmy Carter in with our homage to the birthday of "The Indispensable Man" who was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Moreover, in our modern political discourse the name "Washington," which was once only uttered with a feeling of profound respect, has unfortunately become synonymous with dysfunction, dishonesty, and downright villainy.
"Washington is broken."
"Washington is corrupt."
"Washington is a cesspool."
A foreigner ignorant of our nation's history or geography might even assume the name "Washington" is an altogether pejorative word in our language.
While these commonly hurled insults are obviously aimed at our capital city's political elite, I cannot help but wonder what Washington would think of how we abuse his name, a name he worked so hard to honor during his lifetime, and a name that held our nation tightly together during our earliest and most delicate hours.
This should break, or at least severely dint, the hearts of all decent and patriotic Americans.
So, what should we do about it?
We should stop it.
First, we should stop using the all-encompassing "Presidents Day" phrase, choosing instead to exclusively honor Washington on his birthday (which is February 22, by the way).
This should be simple to do because, as you may be surprised to learn, "Presidents Day" isn't even a real holiday. The federal government officially titles the third Monday in February "Washington's Birthday," and Alabama also honors the man with an official state holiday bearing his name. Most other states do the same. The name "Presidents Day" is just an informal invention of bureaucrats and advertising agencies.
So there's no Act of Congress to be passed. No law to be enacted. No proclamations needed to be written and read aloud. No debate to be had, even. We simply call the holiday by its official name – Washington's Birthday – and use that term whenever we have the opportunity to write or say the name of the day we're observing.
Why make a fuss about this?
Besides it being right and proper to call things by their real names, Americans need heroes and we should persistently highlight examples of the best among us, those few who have risen to a near ideal state of manhood, or womanhood, and citizenship. They serve as a true north we can set our internal compass toward – real heroes, not make-believe – and Washington was one of our best.
Lumping his shining example in with other, lesser presidents suggests that the best were no greater than the least.
The second thing we should stop doing is using his name when specifically describing the unfortunate characteristics of the city that bears his name. The terms "D.C." or "the federal government" serve as fine replacements.
It also almost goes without saying that there are those who wish to tear away or rewrite the pages of our nation's history and sully the names of those great Americans whose hard-won nation we have so effortlessly, and in their case so ungratefully, inherited. They want us to forget Washington completely, or only remember that he once owned slaves. But their opinions are both uninformed and contemptible, and should be left alone to echo among the rabble that holds them.
Meanwhile, for an example of the level of reverence we should show when speaking Washington's name, let us look no further than our second greatest president – Abraham Lincoln.
"Washington's is the mightiest name of earth … to add brightness to the sun, or glory to the name of Washington, is alike impossible, "Lincoln once wrote. "In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked deathless splendor leave it shining on."
And so it should be.
Happy birthday, President Washington.

Followed up on the RD gathering in SoHo as requested. Made the usual overture and received the usual response. Unfortunately, a young Akashic provoked an altercation which was resolved with moderate force. During the altercation, a NYPD officer entered the building and began demanding that we put down our weapons, we are under arrest, etc. We can only assume he had some RD status, or was perhaps modified, in order to locate the meeting. He fired on me while I was neutralizing the Akashic attack and maneuvering to avoid fire from what looked like a couple of Etherites or Adepts. Fortunately I suffered only minor wounds. Unfortunately, it appears that we may have resistors on our hands.
Regardless, as per specifications the data was uploaded from the HIT-Marks' memory banks for processing. Both sustained some damage, and one will require moderate repairs before it is ready to be redeployed. I've already been cleared by Health Services for minor gunshot wounds. Due to loss of functionality on the more damaged Mark there may have been some data corruption, but I don't think it will be that serious.
Am awaiting recommendations for further action and have currently turned to other pressing matters. Will keep you informed of my progress on all active projects and open investigations. Fallout-control seems to have been effective in the aftermath of this incident – its all in my annotated report attached to this update.
A final thing – we may have a problem with another of the Akashics. It appears that one Soto Daimyo is becoming an escalating threat to our Program. Operation Hydra was quite thorough, but there is always residual work to be done.
I await your reply.
Reply To: EO 1368041
From: Control
Proceed with all authorized activities until further notice. Trinity Amalgam will be reconstituted in 3-4 days' time, at which point further instructions will be sent. EO 1270010 will be reassigned as your superior and EO 1450752, a new recruit, will be sent for her first field assignment.
The data uploaded from the HITMarks assigned to you was useful but inconclusive. Please advise on the Spacetime anomaly which interrupted your threat neutralization – its source can be inferred but not conclusively determined.
On a more personal note, Agent Winter looks forward to working with you again. We expect a high level of accomplishment from Trinity Amalgam. Do not disappoint us.

We all agree on the wisdom "of women is not terrible happens, happens little vodka", as it would a shame for us nor sounded. And all because themselves shamelessly use it in the "war of the sexes". Yes, and you certainly the experience convinced that not even a particularly attractive Chevalier after a few glasses of heating is no longer a matter of such disgust, as before.Due to this that allows alcohol to relax, removing many barriers, like "off" brain (especially their own fears) and making the person more confident in itself. And now, a modest student forgets their complexes on the small chest, a young man - about low growth. Doctors believe that alcohol extinguished olfactory receptors through which we choose each other. Yes, love at first sight exists. Only she called "love at first smell" - is when two people find most sister smell them. So, allow alcohol to deceive himself (and others too) in "smells nice", for which it has long valued Casanova.Alcohol is different: some - to forget the other - have fun, and still - to go astray. The personal properties in the latter attribute absentu, which are made from bitter wormwood, which contains exciting substance "tuyon". It features also varied, chocolate and egg liqueurs, which cause the feeling of love and support forces during the "sexual marathons".Humankind can not bypass and diverse mixture of alcohol. The most simple and now the favorite (especially cold winter evenings) recognized spicy mulled wine, when heated red wine add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and ginger. Often used for seduction and brightest "summer" cocktails with exotic fruit: avocados, marakuyey, coconut and banana. And of course, one can not but mention the herbal insisted that even our ancestors used to inflame passions. I even managed to find some old recipes that you can try.
Drink "Glamour" In boiling water (3 cups), add dry mixture of herbs (1 hour spoon raspberry leaf, 1 hour and flowers kalendula spoon, spoon 1 hour Preserves: Blackberry leaves) and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and insist 20-25 minutes. Potion poured, add 2 tablespoons. tablespoons cognac.

Manaf Tlass Defects
Al-Akhbar Management
The story is now a headline: Alquds Alarabi (a Qatari-funded Arab nationalist newspaper based in London which – like all Qatari-funded media – has been increasingly vocal and strict in its adherence to Qatari foreign policy orientations) put it as the main headline.
Western media have been desperately looking for a high-level defection and they found it.
It will now be treated as the most important development in international relations since Rudolph Hess flew his plane to the UK on a bizarre mission during WWII.
Manaf maybe more sane than Hess, but the significance will have to be put in context.
The reaction of the regime will be predictable: he will be branded as a traitor and tales of his corruption (and the corruption of his family, if they join him) will be extensively detailed.
It will be said that he was about to be arrested on charges of embezzlement, corruption, and extortion when he fled Syria.
The regime will be careful at first in its reaction to test whether his father, Mustafa, will join him. The Syrian regime, however, can never explain this riddle: if those people are so bad (as they now say of former vice president Abdul-Halim Khaddam), how could they reach the top echelons of the regime, if it is supposed to be squeaky clean?
Manaf belongs to the group of royal brats in Syria: these were the sons of the top officials who attended the same schools and went on the same trips and who – to varying degrees – inherited power.
These were the sons of Khaddam and Hafez al-Assad, along with the Makhloufs, of course, and others. Manaf rose in the military which for long years was headed – in name, that is – by his father.
There is no question that his departure is a blow to the regime and to its propaganda. Here is a friend and confidante of Bashar: he is someone who was part of the very inner circle.
The opposition will welcome him with open arms – his first stop may be in Riyadh or the UAE, where his brother, Firas (a man who made a fortune from his ties to the regime), is based.
But none of the Western media or Syrian opposition media will raise serious questions about this man. He was a senior commander in the Republican Guards and has blood on his hands.
Is the search for high-ranking defectors so desperate that criminals and oppressors are welcomed to join the cause?
The recent Cairo document by the exile Syrian opposition made a distinction between members of the military with blood on their hands and members of the military who have no blood on their hands.
But how will that distinction be made after "liberation," so to speak? Will members of the military be asked to roll up their sleeves and show their hands to see if there are stains or spots? Will all be spared except those whose hands are dripping with blood?
And how could Manaf be immune from the very war crimes accusations leveled at the regime by Western human rights organizations and by the Syrian exile opposition?
Will Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch request that he be arrested and charged with war crimes, in his capacity as a commander of a criminal and repressive arm of the regime?
Or will his crimes be forgotten (just as the crimes of Husain Kamil were forgotten once he defected to Jordan) because he may prove to be useful (idiot?) to Western governments?
It is highly likely that Saudi or Qatari media will host him and he will speak about his deep sorrow and about how he (very much like Khaddam) sought to bring down the regime – but from within?
If Western governments and the subservient Western human rights organizations are serious about their charges and about their statements, they are obligated to call for the arrest and punishment of Manaf Tlass.
But that is highly unlikely. The West is merely trying to replace one criminal regime with another. Israel wants to preserve the regime because it wants to continue to enjoy the fruits of its long undeclared peace treaty with the Assad regime.
The US and the West can only comply with Israel's wishes. They may declare Manaf to be the savior of Syria. Where are the Syrian people in all this?
Perhaps you have forgotten to mention that from the beginning he was against violence (الحل الأمني) and pushed for dialogue with the opposition. We all know that he met with many oppositions on the ground (as Michel Kilo, Hasan Abd el Azim, etc..). And then was asked from the president to step aside . So as far as we are concerned I see no bloody hands.
His defection was a very good thing for the revolution, and he is more than welcome.
wonder how much is Qatari payday was for...
Slamming "criminal" seems to be the easiest thing in the world these days. If this man Manaf Tlass is known for something, it is for his refusal and clear position against the security/ military solution. He stood firm against the bloodshed but you among all smart people should at least consider the risks this position involved and that he nonetheless took.. Can you even bother thinking clearly and reflecting before using cliche incriminating vocabulary and statements, and Imagine the kind of risk he took to make those clear statements and keep repeating out loud his harsh criticism and denounciation while being in his position inside the country AND FOR MORE THAN A YEAR while the threats continued .This man battled just as much as the people on the ground but on his own field and alone .... He remained the sting from within, that did not bend to the hard liners' pressure. This battle in Syria is on different fronts, and he was the only one on that front and never conceded even with all the threats and risks it entailed.
Sorry to disappoint your personal vendetta, but that guy is a hero to many people's eyes
If "The US and the West can only comply with Israel's wishes" then it is with the full blessing of same that they energetically attack the Syrian government for the past 16 months. This reality self-evidently vitiates the author's claim that "Israel wants to preserve the [Assad] regime".
Netanyahu & Co. obviously hope that if a pliant US/Saudi-controlled clique can be installed in Damascus, their demented lust for Yanki bombing of Tehran will yet be satisfied.
"The opposition will welcome him with open arms – his first stop may be in Riyadh or the UAE, where his brother, Firas (a man who made a fortune from his ties to the regime), is based."
"The Syrian National Council has announced that it will cooperate with Manaf Tlas. Where are the slogans about punishing the war criminals in Syria? Where are the slogans about making the war criminals pay for their crimes? The Syrian National Council said that it will cooperate with any war criminal in Syria, provided it will benefit politically."
Who said that all of the Syrian opposition agree with this? Who said that all of the Syrian opposition will look the other way because Rif'at al-Assad is protected by King Abdullah? Why do you always like to project your biases to suit your propaganda? Where were the slogans about "mumana'a" from the Assad mafia when Bashar's grandfather was a stooge for the French Mandate praising the "lovely Jews" or when Hafez al-Assad collaborated with the Americans in Gulf War I and was rewarded with the occupation of Lebanon? Where were the slogans of "mumana'a" when Iran and it's proxies were inciting the Zionist Neocons to attack Iraq, riding American tanks into power in Afghanistan and Iraq and taking billions from them, Iran opening it's airspace for American warplanes to attack Afghanistan? Where was the takhween carnival of all of the Syrian opposition by Hezbollah and Amal when their allies were riding American tanks into power? Why were your people, the Lebanese Shi'ites, totally silent towards this with the exception of yourself and Tufayli, then they have the audacity to accuse other of sectarianism and ta'assub?
Israel wants to keep the regime? Undeclared peace treaty? You wanted Syria to go into war alone against Israel on its own after Egypt deserted in 1979? You wanted Syria to go into war along against Israel during the Lebanese civil war? You wanted Syria to go into war alone against Israel when Turkey was threatening to attack? You wanted Syria to go into war alone against Israel, and all Arab countries, while foreign governments and media are constantly attacking it?
Please tell us what part of the "undeclared peace treaty" that Hizbullah fits into. I'm intrigued.
dear ANON 18;53
You should know that our Pundit is not bound by political,or military gravity. Poor Hafez is castigated for failing to destroy Israel (and thereby,banish the White Man, and restore Arab PPPride ).At least we should credit Hafez with better choices than Nasser.
Also: It doesn't matter THAT much to Israeli security who rules in Damascus...... Israel relies on its armed forces for its defense rather than its chummy relationship with the current Syrian regime
If Syrian can go it alone with it's allies in Lebanon and show it's "bravery" against the Palestinians in Tal az-Za'tar, the siege of Tripoli, supporting Amal in the War of the Camps, then your damn right it is hypocritical, and the "mumana'a" of the Palestinians didn't suffice for the Assadi regime and its cronies, so it shouldn't expect reciprocation.
7abibi, let's not get ahead of ourselves about Palestinians in the Lebanese civil war. All parties involved were filthy. The Palestinians are not innocent of the sectarian killings (dab7 3al hawiyyeh) that took place all over Lebanon throughout the civil war. Some of Hafez's decisions in Lebanon I will never agree with or even understand, but Yaser Arafat and Walid Jumblatt were not the heroes that Lebanon was waiting for, and we see now that as soon as the Syrian army left, northern Lebanon became the new Taliban republic. Also fact still remains that Palestinians in Syria have all the rights of Syrians except voting. They are allowed to buy homes, have the right to free education and health car, and can work in the public sector. Palestinians were even included in the Ba`th party and Syria's national anthem was written by a Palestinian. For every example you provide of something "anti-Palestinian" Syria has done, there are tens of examples proving the contrary.
You just exposed yourself and you just proved my point as the supporters of Bashar are demanding that the anti-Bashar Syrians put up with Bashar no matter what because of his "mumana'a", and yet the Assadi regime and its allies didn't apply this to the Palestinian resistance in Lebanon whose "mumana'a" didn't suffice despite their transgressions and yes, I never denied they committed crimes, though it pales to what the Assadi regime did in Lebanon. And the thousands of Palestinians killed by the Assadi regime and its allies and the crushing of the Palestinian resistance isn't just an "example" proving that the Assadi regime and the "mumana'a" camp uses the Palestinian cause for it's own purposes and Saddam treated the Palestinians even better than the Assad regime. Would you also defend him, I highly doubt it, and you have no problem with Dahiyeh being a "Khomeinist" republic and were you surprised what Tripoli has become after what the Assadi army did there?!

Been wondering what happened to ole Broose the Moose? Maybe that joke makes you wish he never came back!
Well, my wife and I just returned from a lovely (oops, out pops that word again!) two-week trip to Ireland and Wales. For our 25th wedding anniversary back on Nov. 12, we were looking for a way to go to Ireland. When we saw that a special gathering was taking place in Wales that could be easily assessed from Dublin by taking an Irish ferry across the Irish Sea, well, who could resist!
Well, this bloke who fancies he's Irish never once sat on a porch, and we didn't see anybody else either. Everybody is on the go in hustling, bustling Dublin, and you'd have to be mad to try to drive there amidst nonstop bicyclists, buses, lories and workers, tourists and jaywalkers regardless of which side you drive on! Identifying streets whose signs are high up on a corner wall if at all was hard enough on foot and would seem to be out of sight for car drivers. So we happily and no use denying it—cowardly—chose to stick to public transportation. Worked lovely (stop that!).
What adventures and tidbits can I share with you that would be of interest? Let's find out when the effects of leaving Dublin at 1 p.m. and arriving in Denver supposedly only six hours later wear off on this old body!
Hope you won't mind waiting. As my best friend, Pat Murphy from Carlow (about an hour south of Dublin) put it so well, "Some people say manana. We Irish don't have any such word which conveys quite the urgency."
