Post subject: Serial Collaboration Project: Post Apocalypse
Morgan took a deep breath of the mountain air, deeply inhaling the salty sea air, smelling a touch of ozone from being so high up; the cold waves lapped slightly at his dark leather boots, sloshing about the surrounding pebbles. He liked to come down here sometimes, just to make sure the water wasn't getting any higher.
Things had been bad since the first reports of the polar ice caps melting. Global warming had snuck up on the world, and nobody was prepared. Flash flood appeared on the coasts, tropical storms spun off of Africa, and hurricanes and tornadoes sprung out of the clashing temperature differences.
Carson City was lucky to be near mountains
, Morgan thought. When the water levels rose so quickly, he had time to get into the mountains. He'd designed a log cabin for one of his architecture classes, and he'd built it with the help of some friends. He had intended to surprise Shelley with it, propose to her on its doorstep. But global warming had struck.
"Hey, tiger," a woman's voice said behind him. Morgan turned around and smiled. Before him stood Shelley, his model girlfriend. Her platinum blond hair had graced several Kohl's ads, and it was currently blowing behind her like a comet's tail. Morgan was convinced that she could be tossed into a hurricane and buried by a mudslide and STILL look perfect.
But I may be biased.
"Hey, hon," he said, pulling her into his embrace. "Did you get the bottles?"
"Yeah. I washed them and dried the insides as best as I could," Shelley said, giving Morgan a quick squeeze, a peck, and shrugging off her backpack. She produced two wine bottles, the dry corks poking out slightly. Morgan wondered if these were the same bottles they had used to clean his cuts from a few days ago. His thigh throbbed at the thought of the cleansing alcohol.
"Great," Morgan said, taking some worn paper out of his back pocket. Paper was a luxury these days, as were most things. Factories were underwater now, so most people had to deal without or figure out how to make them by hand. He unfolded the letter and read it over once more. Shelley took a piece of paper out of her own back pocket and rolled it up into one of the bottles, pushing the cork in until it was guaranteed no water would seep in.
As he finished reading the note, he took his own wine bottle and put his note in, sealing it tight. "Are you sure this is the right side of the island? he asked, the wind tousling his own hair.
"I don't know..." Shelley said softly. "In all likelihood, it'll probably just wash back up on our shores."
"I know," Morgan sighed. "But if it does get there, if it does reach them..." The cool fingers of the breeze began turning into the sharp, cold edge of a gale; Morgan shivered as it pierced his coat. His thigh protested the frosty change in temperature.
"Then they'll know we're safe. But they're a long ways away. They might never find you," Shelley said, her own ice blue orbs trying to look into Morgan's deep brown eyes.
"I know. I know. But I can hope, can't I?" Morgan smiled his crooked little smile. Gripping the bottle by the neck, he flung the bottle as far as he could, far into the gray, ever-present mist that seemed a permanent part of this new world. He heard a little PA-LOONK and knew it didn't break.
Shelley threw her own bottle into the fog; Morgan really admired her. She had adapted so well after the disaster. His little mall-rat girlfriend turned into a girl that did what was necessary to survive. A couple years ago, she couldn't have thrown a tennis ball that far, let alone a glass bottle.
Hand in hand, they waited the damp beginning to settle into Morgan's wool coat. Waited for the bottles to come back. Waited for an answer to their message. Waited for their families to respond. Waited for something to happen.
After what seemed like hours, a drop of water fell onto Morgan's head. The perpetually overcast skies never really gave an indication of when it would rain again; really, this was the first time in weeks that the deluge had abated. His thigh joined with the water to jog his memory of the present.
"Let's go," he said, squeezing Shelley's hand. "We might get caught in the flash." Nodding, Shelley squeezed back. Together, they turned around and hurried back up the rocky mountain slope.

Morgans glass bottle floated away from the mountain peak, caught in a current which took it rapidly South. An insignificant speck on a globe of blue, grey, green and black. The changing heat made the glass expand and cool, straining it to the point that when it did eventually fetch up on a shore it shattered with the impact, shards of green glass glittering on the sand. The waves and tides took their toll until all that was left of the message carrier was a handful of green sand on a beach.
Which crunched under a bare foot.
The foot was attached to a grubby leg belonging to a young girl clothed in an eclectic jumble of hessian sacks and tarpaulin. The whole ensemble was crusted with sand and pieces of seaweed clung in the fibres of the hessian. Her hair was tangled from the sea breeze but clean, showing it to be an appropriately sandy hue. She was currently shambling along, head bowed, apparently searching the tideline for something. She whisked a bunch of seaweed behind her, obscuring her tracks and every now and then she would stoop and pull up a thick wiry plant and tuck it into her clothes. A curlews lonely cry echoed along the beach and the girl jerked upright like a startled deer. It sounded again and she flung herself down on the sand and froze, her hessian covering blending instantly with the sand to give her the appearance of nothing more than a small hummock in the beach. After a wait of half an hour the curlew sounded again and the bump in the sand moved cautiously. After scanning the beach for movement the small figure leapt up and sprinted towards the dunes she had come from, all the while whisking all trace of her flight into oblivion.
When she reached the dunes she made the curlew call herself and disappeared inside the opening which emerged in the side of the largest. The dune was in fact an overturned boat, which the wind had coated in sand, and provided the nearest thing to home that the girl had ever known. As soon as she was inside the safety of the shelter she shed the heavy outer garments to reveal a skinny frame made skinnier by a harsh winter and persistent fear. A taller figure hauled the screen back in front of the opening and turned to survey the girl. As she did so her face was caught in a shaft of light leaking through the sides of the shelter and revealed to be quite unconventionally beautiful. A shock in a place of such rude commodities. Seventeen years of this harsh existence had made her cheeks a little too pinched, and her brow a little too furrowed, but there was a clarity to her eyes and a light in her face that had nothing to do with the feeble sunlight which illuminated chestnut hair and olive skin.
Did you see them? She enquired in a voice hushed with fear.
No, and I never do! I reckon youre just imagining things again Seil. The younger girl threw her outer clothes on the floor and started rummaging around in them for the plants she had gathered.
Samphire again? Complained Seil.
Its all thats out there, you know that.
But Abbi, its icky and salty.
Its food. Eat. Abbi watched her sister eat, years piling on her young shoulders and clouding her face. Her short life had not been easy.
He who does not eat cheese will go mad. ~ French proverb.

(The first two posts seem to be set in the same setting, but the first post of the planning thread mentioned different stories in the same setting, so I hope this fits.)
Into the night, from the open door of her home Monique LeNoir passed quietly onto a small deck. The sea breeze, so balmy, brushed her hair. She rested her head in her left hand and balanced it on the railing. In her right hand was water chilly from little ice cubes. It clinked as she sipped in slight motions. From her former summer home, now permanete home, she listened to the rhythmic sound of the waves breaking and retreating down by the bay. The moon, partially shrouded in fog, illuminated the small collection of buildings down the path they now called Nouveau Paris.
Monique lowered her head; her hair fell over her face, and she found it comforting to listen to the ocean's breath. Her thoughts swayed in her head like dancers in perfect harmony with the waves. A dancing boat, her boat, came into view, and the little men fell into the sea, but grace made them look more like divers. She opened her starry eyes. A door closed behind her, and the old wood creaked. Monique brushed the stars out of her eyes and flung her hair over her shoulders out of her face.
"It so very late, what are you doing up and out of bed?"
"I was thinking...this place looks different. It's not the same Alps I used to vacation in as a girl." Monique turned to face Paul. "The snow never falls anymore."
"That's all you thought of?" He rested his back against the railing next to her.
She lowered her gaze a little, "Have you seen the moon tonight, it's so lovely when it's full."
"Yes, Paul?"
"You've avoiding the question."
"...I was thinking about my last voyage."
He put his arm around her, "It wasn't your fault."
She sighed, "I know, but I'm just trying to get there."
Paul took her hand. He started to lead her towards to door, but she held her place, "I just need time." He kissed her on the forehead.
"Ok, I'll be waiting inside." He walked back to the door.
He started to open when she blurted, "How I am supposed to tell her I had to kill him?"
The waves crashed in and out while the balmy breeze blew under a bright moon.

Rolling onto his side, Kenta rubbed at his eyes absent-mindedly with the back of his right hand. It was still very early morning but the sun was creeping into the sky, and it had to be at least nearly thirty degrees centigrade in Northern Honshu. It was also late October. Leon had said summer could last until well into November this year, but hed never really understood what it meant before, the implications behind it.
Hed never really understood what it would mean for them.
He glanced at his battery powered travel clock it was 5:34 am. It was time for his morning shift already? Slowly, he crawled out of his futon and set about the business of tidying it away. A few others were still sleeping away in the large tatami room; most of them had kicked off their covers during the night. The heat was getting too much for those who had been used to Tohokus cooler climes.
Glancing over his shoulder though, he noticed that Kazuyas futon was already folded away neatly, piled against the wall by the door. Kazuya was his younger brother, and had been training to be a doctor, a surgeon of some kind, down south in Tokyo before the world faded away. He had only been part of the way through his degree when it all had happened, but Kazu and an old local family doctor whod retired some ten years before where as close as they had to a working medical team. Organisation wasnt so good that they had begun to train others intensively, so their shifts could get hectic, especially back during the August heat waves. Kazu wasnt due on until about 11:00 hours though.
Kenta began to trudge downstairs, still in his vest and shorts that served as pyjamas, heading towards the dining area. He could hear movements and chatter of people who were already awake, and those having a quick repast before they turned in.
Not everyone had been able to follow the retreat and re-settlement plan that the government had scrambled to set up. Those left behind in the north had struggled towards the mountain alps and resorts. Kentas dads family had kept a traditional inn and restaurant on the outskirts of a hot springs area, theyd taken in a few refugees and somehow a base camp had ended up being set there.
madness! Its madness Leon, and you know it! Were not in a position to
That was his younger brother talking the anger and frustration was there.
We aint exactly in a position to be doing much, Hotei. Things are getting too tight here, and they cant go on like this. You know that as much as any of us.
As soon as Kenta put his head around the door, the room fell silent.
Kazuya, his spirited younger brother stood over the large dining table, palms spread. At the table, sat Leon and Mrs Fujiwara Mrs Fujiwara, an old farmer from Akita looked worried, frightened even. She was wearing a sensible workers tough trousers, and a plain white t-shirt, and it was obvious she had laboured her whole life. Leon just looked unruffled, blank. That wasnt his real name, but it was the only name hed ever offered. He was a tall guy, with his hair shaved close, almost in American military style, and a tradition irezumi creeping from his back, and down his arms, the bulk of it hidden beneath a green vest. His build marked him as an ex-biker, a former bozoku, but the way he spoke, you knew he had been in charge of something before.
No one would speak. Kazuya stood back from the table, folding his arms beneath his chest but he kept glaring at Leon.
I guess yall expect me to guess whats going on, or is someone going to paint this one out nice and simple for me? Kenta asked, taking a seat at the table, cutting past Kazuya, letting the full Tohoku burr creep into his voice.
Still no one spoke up. Leon flicked his eyes towards Kazuya and then Kenta, and Mrs Fujiwara simply stared at the table top.
He wants to get us all killed, thats what he wants, Kazu hissed.
Kazu, enough! No histrionics, I want to know what is going on in our familys house! Kenta snapped; he stared at Leon though, not even looking at his brother. Whats happening.
It was Mrs Fujiwara who spoke though.
Kenta-kun you know that what we planted this year We tried a sustainable food plan, vegetable gardens, a proper rice field lower down the mountainside.
Kenta just nodded. It had been discussed and planned at great length by all of the Resort Refugees some time ago. There were not many of them, but they had needed a long term plan, and a couple of suburbans had kept little vegetable patches before. It wasnt much, but it could have been the start of something.
The yield it isnt what we hoped. And we did find those SDF rations, that is true, but, well, it just isnt enough. Not to carry us through this winter, certainly not all of us.
She let that hang there. Kenta felt his heart start to race, his stomach churn.
I thought we had another raid planned, a long one to Hachinohe? We could split the teams, send them to multiple targets We always have options, he said, fear slipping through easily.
Leon shook his head.
Weve probably stripped every conbini, every vending machine, every supermarket in the immediate areas for long-lasting consumables and dried food. Local places, they aint going to have any fresh stuff left, and were lucky to have gotten what we could from farming villages up in the mountains. I think were going to have to go a heck of a lot further than Hachinohe to see us through this winter, the former biker said slowly. We cant survive winter up here on half rations of Cup Noodles.
Kenta dropped back in his chair. He had known that things werent going as well as hoped. Their group numbered less than fifty or so, it wasnt like they had a huge community. It was definitely large enough to be a logistical nightmare when you had no practical experience of running an entire community. Theyd had to go on little raiding trips every so often, trying to find materials that would last. Based in a resort area, there was a good amount of tinned goods, but fresh stuff, greenery, that was much harder to procure. It was one thing for them to say that things couldnt go on like this, but to realise it was so much harder. It was the intellectual fact that they were up a creek without a paddle.
So whats the problem Kazu? Kenta heard himself say, his voice hoarse.
This idiot wants us to roll out, send out a large hunting party to see if we can find any others, and find a larger city to set up base in, one thats maybe got more supplies.
And whys it such a bad idea? Were screwed if we hang around here, that much is obvious, Kenta retorted.
Surely Hotei-sensei, you must see that it is best for everyone if we leave here. We need food, and surely yourself and Terashima-sensei are in need of supplies, Mrs Fujiwara added gently.
Im not going to deny that we need medicine and first aid kits. What we have here is very basic, and weve only been able to get stuff from little local clinics. Ill admit it, I need more sophisticated equipment and drugs, but the people who need those medicines They wouldnt survive the kind of exodus to the south that Leons suggesting, Kazuya said, sighing. I mean, they couldnt deal with the physical duress, and theyre at their limits as it is, and I dont know how much longer theyd last.
More looks skittered across the table.
Well, sure as hell cant stay here. We need the supplies, and they ain't exaclty going to pop into our laps, all magical like. We all need to head south for the winter, simple as, Leon said evenly, leaning back in his seat.
He could see Kazuya getting worked up again, getting his hackles up. His straight-laced little brother, who always was quick to anger and slow to think. But he seemed to be thinking pretty hard about the repercussions right now.
Im not leaving these people Leon, not here, not by the side of the road when they collapse. If were going to head off anywhere, it should be that SDF base in Aomori. If we get there, we can at least try to contact whatever is left of this country, Kazuya hissed.
Please now gentlemen, its not just our decision We must make a choice yes, but we must all decide on this, Mrs Fujiwara cut in she was a sweet old lady. She was obviously from a time when men of Leon and Kazuyas age were still considered the babies of the group, and their open discontent to one another was upsetting her.
They aint the only ones whod be killed! Well all die if we dont do something! And I aint going on a wild goose chase so you can give a handful of people false hope! The government, the military, they abandoned us here, to live like this, like freaking scavengers! Leon growled, standing up slowly. He towered over Kazuya; he was used to his size intimidating others. I aint running back to them. We dont need them.
No, Mrs Fujiwara has a point you two. We need to take this to the others, everyone Its not our decision, not just us. But I want to suggest a third option.
It sounded like Kentas voice. It was very strange, he didnt normally speak up in these situations. Was it his voice? He could feel his brothers stare on him, and cool, calculating look that Leon gave him. Well, he must have spoke then.
Go ahead
Well split into two groups. Me and Kazu well take whoever is sick to this SDF place. You guys head off wherever it is you think will be best. But if Kazu says he cant take care of these people much longer, I believe him. Hes smart, he knows what hes about. If he says this old base is their best chance, and they want to, then Ill take it.

Michael J. Sorrell is the 34th President of Paul Quinn College. Under his leadership, the school is experiencing one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of higher education. Michael's vision is to permanently transform PQC into a nationally elite small college by focusing on entrepreneurship, innovation, academic rigor, and servant leadership.
Among the school's numerous accomplishments during President Sorrell's almost seven year tenure have been: winning the 2011 HBCU of the Year, the 2012 HBCU Student Government Association of the Year, and the 2013 HBCU Business Program of the Year awards; being recognized as a member of the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll; demolishing 15 abandoned campus buildings; partnering with PepsiCo to transform the unused football field into the two acre "WE over Me Farm"; achieving full-accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS); earning six consecutive unqualified audits; enrolling the top academic class in school history; establishing the Presidential Scholars Program; adopting a school-wide business casual dress code; securing the largest single donor gifts in the history of the institution; regularly achieving six-figure year-end budget surpluses; and restructuring the curriculum.
Michael received his J.D. and M.A. in Public Policy from Duke University and is currently a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania. While in law school, he was one of the founding members of the Journal of Gender Law & Policy and served as the Vice President of the Duke Bar Association. Michael was a recipient of the Sloan Foundation Graduate Fellowship, which funded his studies at both Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government (as a graduate fellow) and Duke University. He graduated from Oberlin College with a B.A. in Government, served as Secretary-Treasurer of his senior class, was a two-time captain of the men's varsity basketball team, and graduated as the school's fifth all-time leading scorer.
Among the entities that President Sorrell serves as a trustee or director are Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy, the College Board, the Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania, Amegy Bank, Teach for America, the Perot Museum, and the Department of Education Policy and Leadership for the Simmons School of Education at SMU. Michael was named the 2012 HBCU Male President of the Year by HBCU Digest and tabbed as a member of the "Root 100" (a list of the top 100 emerging leaders in America) by the Root On-line Magazine. He received the Excellence in Education Distinguished Alumni Award from his high school, St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, Illinois; the A. Kenneth Pye Award for Excellence in Education from the Alumni Association of Duke University's School of Law; and the TRACS Leadership Award. The Dallas Historical Society has also honored Michael for Excellence in Educational Administration and the NAACP, Heart House, the Dallas Furniture Bank, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dallas for his civic leadership. He is a past recipient of the Dallas Urban League's Torch for Community Leadership and both the President's and C.B. Bunkley Awards from J.L. Turner for his outstanding contributions to the Dallas legal community. Additionally, in 2002 the Dallas Business Journal named him one of Dallas' Forty Under 40 and in 2011, the same periodical awarded him a Minority Business Leaders Award. The President is also a life member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
President Sorrell is married to the former Natalie Jenkins. Natalie is an alumna of Spelman College and received her MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. They have one son, Michael Augustus.

Cox, 49, is vice president/general manager of Radio Cleveland, Inc., the largest locally owned broadcast group in the Mississippi Delta.
"After over 20 years of economic and community development experience, I believe I have the skills and vision necessary to be an effective alderman for the residents of Ward 3," Cox said.
Cox has served as president of the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce and the pastoral council at Our Lady of Victories Catholic Church, as well as chairperson of Team Cleveland.
He also served a two-year term as chairperson of the Industrial Development Foundation. During his tenure with the chamber and IDF, Faurecia, an automotive parts manufacturer, opened a plant in Bolivar County.
He currently serves as the fund distribution chairman of the United Way of Cleveland-Bolivar County and the finance chair for Mississippi Swimming, the governing body of USA Swimming in the state.

He has served on the Delta State University Foundation Board and as past chair of Octoberfest, is a member of the Knights of Columbus and currently serves on Cleveland School District's Superintendent's Advisory Council and Cleveland's Mayor's Advisory Council.
"Over the last 20 years, I've had the opportunity to both work with, and most importantly learn from, community leaders whose vision and work have shaped our city. I believe this knowledge and experience has prepared me to meet the challenges Cleveland faces as we transition from a payroll driven economy to a broader creative economy where the focus is on retail, service, and tourism and its impact on sales tax revenues. It's important to Cleveland's future that we make the right decisions during this transition and my background prepares me to do so."
Cox is a graduate of Bayou Academy and Delta State with a BBA in management.
He is married to the former Anita Harkins of Jackson and has two daughters, MaryBeth, 20, who attends Mississippi State University, and Shelby, 15, who attends Cleveland High.

A team of 10 experienced yogis leads students through asanas and breathing techniques in a variety of Hatha- and Vinyasa-style yoga classes good for all experience levels. Instructors modify tricky poses during the slow-paced Beginner class, where they explain that flaming arrows aren't required for the warrior stance. Yoga Core and Yogalates classes combine Pilates techniques with standard salutations to tone muscles, and prenatal classes teach mothers-to-be breathing techniques useful during delivery. Infinite Yoga's daily stretchfests begin as early as 7:30 a.m., and up to 30 weekly offerings grant ample opportunities to locate one's center or nap on one's mat.
The certified trainers at CrossFit Fairbanks shun traditional gym workouts in favor of an intensive training program that emphasizes strength and conditioning and is tailored to all levels. Fit seekers can first schedule a free introduction to CrossFit, during which coaches acquaint novices with the basic movements of the regimen and discuss individual workout goals and the economic principles of Bhutan. Participants can then take advantage of the weekly one-hour classes. Because CrossFit Fairbanks believes that strength training is integral to every workout, the facility opens its doors 45 minutes before each class so health-hunters can complete an optional strength workout such as bench-pressing fellow pupils. Students then take part in Workout of the Day sessions, which rotate through different muscle-molding exercises, focusing first on the mechanics, then the consistency, and finally, the intensity of each move.
Ever since The Alaska Club opened its first location in 1986, they've been striving to serve their members by adding amenities, classes, and opening new locations. Though each location?s offerings vary, they supplement their well-stocked fleets of cardio machines and strength equipment with cycling studios, climbing walls, basketball courts, swimming pools, and play centers for the kids. The club also offers spa services including hydromassage beds, tanning, and saunas.
Group fitness classes include yoga, step aerobics, and Pilates, and personal trainers stand at the ready to help clients focus on fitness goals. The clubs also offer swim lessons and summer camps for kids, setting in stone their commitment to making The Alaska Club a place for the whole family, not the half-formed family, which needs at least seven more years to gestate in the laboratory incubator.
Fit Body Boot Camp instructors guide clients toward their fitness and weight-loss goals at locations throughout the world. They lead group workouts that integrate cardio exercise with resistance training and weight training, keeping sessions varied in order to avoid disheartening plateaus. Nutritional guidance supplements tailored fitness programs to ensure that clients are properly fueled to lose, gain, or maintain their weight.
At Play It Again Sports, athletes equip themselves with high-end and lightly used gear, apparel, and accessories including such brands as Nike, Wilson, Ping, and Mizuno. An especially exhaustive roster of hockey gear rounds out Play It Again Sports' collection, which also includes goods and apparel for dozens of other sports, including football, basketball, soccer, tennis, disk golf, swimming, racquetball, and grizzly-tickling. Adidas soccer shins guard appendages ($19.99), and the Go Fit 65 cm stability ball tones users' abs ($24.99). Customers can also feel free to rent a pair of cross-country skis to glide onto snowy terrain ($20) or to thrash a thicket overgrown with weeds.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Syrian army defectors to resume operations against regime's forces
Text of report by Saudi-owned leading pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat
website on 5 November
[Report by Caroline Akum in Beirut: "Colonel Al-As'ad to 'Al-Sharq
al-Awsat': We Will Resume Our Operations Against Regime's Forces After
its Intentions Were Exposed. Split Among National Council's Members Over
Coorperation with Free Syrian Army"]
Defecting Colonel Riyad al-As'ad, commander of the "Free Syrian Army",
has declared to Al-Sharq al-Awsat that his army will resume the
"qualitative" military operations against [Syrian President Bashar]
Al-Asad's forces after the "regime's intentions" were exposed during
"the God is Great Friday."
The Free Syrian Army suspended its operations on Wednesday night to give
the Arab [League] initiative the chance to succeed. Al-As'ad said in a
telephone contact "we gave the Syrian regime a chance of two days after
it announced its acceptance of the Arab initiative so as to expose its
lies and manoeuvres. From today and following the exposure of its
intentions on (God is Great Friday), we will resume carrying out
qualitative military operations and our movements are going to be bigger
and wider."
Al-As'ad denied the report by the Daily Telegraph about his plan for the
Free Syrian Army to be the military wing of the Syrian opposition to
President Bashar al-Asad's regime and said "we refuse to be followers of
any party. I will form a military council as soon as possible."
Asked if there was any coordination about these operations with the
Syrian National Council whose members refuse to militarize the
revolution, he pointed out that there were no contacts at the leadership
level but at the level of specific persons. He added: "We have defected
from the Syrian army and have the right to defend ourselves and our
people militarily. Anyone who thinks that this Syrian regime will
collapse peacefully is deluded. This is why we refuse to keep the
revolution peaceful. I will establish a military national council at the
earliest possible time and we will have our own programme which we will
announce at the time." He stressed that "the defections are increasing
daily and I can confirm that we have passed the 15,000 number."
Asked if there was military coordination with the Turkish authorities,
he said "there is no security coordination with Turkey and the support
the authorities is giving us is limited to humanitarian aid in addition
of course to protecting our security and the Syrian people's security."
The British Daily Telegraph had reported [LINK HERE; NOV. 3 ARTICLE]
that Al-As'ad was living under permanent protection from the security
officials in Ankara and noted that the high level of human losses in the
Syrian security forces' ranks as a result of internal attacks confirms
the presence of armed forces operating with the secret approval of the
authorities. The paper cited Al-As'ad as saying that the Free Syrian
Army's members are armed with weapons and ammunition stolen from the
regime, are protecting the boundaries of the opposition towns and
villages, and are attacking the soldiers firing on peaceful
demonstrators. The paper added, also quoting Al-As'ad, "we are waiting
for the Syrian National Council to appoint a high-level delegation and
send a representative to talk to us about supporting their objectives
On the other hand, National Council member Umar al-Idlibi has told
Al-Sharq al-Awsat that the question of the council's relationship with
the Free Syrian Army is widely discussed by the members and the results
would be announced within few days, particularly as some of them refuse
to deal with it on the basis of "maintaining the purity of the
revolution", which he considered "an ideal but inapplicable viewpoint."
But Council member Jabr al-Shufi denied the existence of any
coordination between it and the Free Syrian Army's command and told
Al-Sharq al-Awsat: "There is no coordination between the Free Syrian
Army and us and we do not have any connections with any operations it is
carrying out on the ground because we reject the militarization of the
revolution though we support these defections on condition that they are
made on the basis of the peaceful revolution." Regarding the Daily
Telegraph's report that Al-As'ad was planning to make his army the
military wing of the Syrian opposition, Al-Shufi asserted that "the
Council has not adopted this army or a ny wing in it." As to the
possibility of coordination with Al-As'ad in the next stage, he said:
"Channels of communications could be opened with him if he agrees and
complies with our basic conditions, namely, the non-militarization of
the revolution and keeping it as peaceful as it started because we are
fully convi! nced that turning the revolution into a military one will
make it lose its broad base and provide the regime with an additional
pretext to use us against us and the demonstrators." He added: "We
support their use of arms if they are defending themselves, houses, and
citizens but we reject categorically any military attack or operation
because this is inconsistent with our objectives and approaches on which
the peaceful revolution is based."

Free Syrian Army to fight government apparatus "without exception"
Doha Al-Jazeera Satellite Channel Television in Arabic - Independent
Television station financed by the Qatari Government - at 1905 GMT on 14
November carries a new episode of its weekly "In-Depth" talk show
programme. Anchorman Ali al-Zufayri interviews Dr Wa'il Mirza, general
coordinator for the Syrian National Council Secretariat, in the studio;
and Michel Kilo, Syrian writer and opposition figure, via satellite from
Al-Zufayri begins by saying "we will be discussing the upcoming
scenarios in light of the unprecedented Arab League decision to suspend
Syria." He says "ahead of this discussion, we posed some questions to
Turkish-based Col Riyad al-As'ad, commander of the Free Syrian Army
[FSA], on the Arab League initiative and the expected scenarios."
[NOTE: If you read the italicized intro about who the anchor will be
interviewing on the show, you'll see that Col. al-Assad is not part of
it. I'm 99 percent sure the questions posed to al-Assad were
pre-recorded. It sounds like these questions were asked after the AL
decision to suspend Syria, which occurred Nov. 12. Please someone
correct me if I'm wrong.]
Speaking from Turkey via satellite, Al-Asa'd said: "Out of respect for
the Arab League, we have decided to suspend all our military operations
for 48 hours. If the Arab initiative fails, then we will be taking
strategic decisions on which we have been working seriously over the
past week. We have established a military council as part of that
strategy, and we will step up our military operations in Syria at the
coming stage under the supervision of the military council. We will be
more effective on the ground and forcefully confront regime's
apparatuses without exception. Those, who fail to desert the regime
despite eight months of killing and injustice, will be considered part
of the regime. We hope that all of the Syrian army officers,
non-commissioned officers, and other personnel will resort to their
consciences, have a look at the ongoing killing and destruction in the
Syrian street, make the appropriate decision, and stand by the Syrian
Al-Zufayri says when asked who arms and finances the FSA and how he
views the relationship between the FSA and the Turkish Government,
Al-As'ad said: "We have only light and medium arms, which have been
brought by some dissident soldiers. We seized some light and medium arms
from the regime's apparatuses during our operations and we also buy some
light and medium weapons from the regime's men. We are incapable of
possessing heavy weapons for security reasons, not because we are
incapable from the technical point of view. For security reasons, we are
incapable of possessing tanks and artillery, simply because the regime
still has the upper hand and has an air force and a huge missile arsenal
with which it threatens neighbouring countries willing to stand by the
Syrian people. In fact, the regime has become weak. Some reports say
that Turkey extends support to us and that we are concocting
conspiracies with Turkey. Turkey has not offered us anything so far, but
! we thank it - government and people - for extending humanitarian aid
and hosting the Syrian people. Turkey has not offered us anything except
humanitarian aid for the Syrians, who have fled the tyrannical regime
and its policy of crime and destruction, to seek refuge in Turkey."
Al-Zufayri says Al-As'ad also responded to a question on the
relationship between the FSA and the Syrian National Council as follows:
"We hope that the National Council will reflect the pulse of the Syrian
street. The National Council has been very slow in taking many strategic
decisions, which it should have taken since the declaration of its
establishment. The Syrian people were expecting a lot from the National
Council. We support the National Council and hope it will rise to the
level of the Syria people's ambitions, explore what the Syrian people
want, and take strategic decisions based on the Syrian people's will and
not on the regime's ambitions. In fact, the Syrians reject any dialogue
with the regime and seek international protection for the people, who
have been wronged and killed. Many homes and mosques have been destroyed
in many Syrian cities, the latest being in the city of Hims that has
been suffering under occupation over the past 10 days."
Al-Zufayri says Al-As'ad responded to a question about the relationship
between the FSA and the dissident armed brigades operating in Syria,
such as the Abu-Ubaydah Bin-al-Jarrah, Umar, and Khalid Bin-al-Walid
brigades, as follows: "We have declared the said brigades as part of the
formations of the FSA. They work under the umbrella of the FSA and
receive orders from its command. The officers, non-commissioned
officers, and individuals of the said brigades fully coordinate with the
Staring the interview with his two guests in the studio, Al-Zufayri asks
Mirza if the National Council reached any agreement during its talks
with the Turkish Government last night.
Mirza says "yesterday's meeting was a lengthy one, with the council's
delegation making a host of demands." He says "we would like to clarify
some issues to the Syrian, Arab, and international public opinions,
simply because cards are being reshuffled." To begin with, he says, "the
National Council has drawn up a strategic plan starting at the Arab
gate, which is our strategic depth."
Al-Zufayri notes that at the beginning, the National Council cast doubt
on the Arab League initiative.
Mirza says "from the very beginning, we insisted on that strategy."
Asked if the National Council reached any agreement with Turkey
yesterday, Mirza says "we said that we are trying to reflect the pulse
of the Syrian street," adding that "we are trying to form a political
leadership without excluding other parties."
Asked once again if the council has reached any agreement with the
Turks, Mirza says "we demanded that Turkey contribute to international
efforts to isolate the Syrian regime in cooperation with the Arab
League," adding that "we also asked Turkey to impose economic sanctions
on Syria and recognize the Syrian National Council."
Asked if the Turks agreed, Mirza says "they agreed that the council
represents a basic front of the Syrian revolution," quoting Turkish
Foreign Minister Davutoglu as saying "if the National Council reflects
the structure of the Syrian society, then it will win legitimacy."
Asked whether Turkey is expected to sever its ties with the Syrian
regime and recognize the National Council, Mirza says "we do not seek
that," adding that "we have also demanded that Turkey withdraw its
ambassador in Damascus and keep the embassy there to monitor the
Asked how he views the Arab League decision to suspend Syria, Kilo says
"we do not want a Libya-style solution," adding that "the internal
mobility is the main vehicle of the political project." Therefore, he
says, "we should not do anything harming it at the international and
non-international levels." He calls for every effort "to keep the
mobility going on in the street, which expresses national unity and
yearning for freedom." He warns that "these issues have experienced a
setback over the past two or three months, with the battle moving to the
ranks of the opposition."
Asked if the National Council is seeking a regional or international
intervention, Kilo says "we should avoid the Libyan-style solution."
Al-Zufayri says the Syrian regime has been using heavy weapons to kill
people over the past eight months.
Kilo says "if people had not been in the street, the opposition's
activities would not have had any value."
Asked if he is ready to join the National Council, Kilo says "I am not a
member of the council or any opposition group, simply because I want to
be an independent opposition figure."
Asked if the National Council is seeking a Libyan-style solution, Mirza
says "the National Council does not seek any Libyan-style scenario,"
adding that "although it includes forces from inside and outside Syria,
we have never said it represents all the currents of the opposition."
Asked if the Local Coordinating Committees is seeking dialogue with the
regime, Mirza says "the national opposition is seeking to topple the
regime and establish a new Syria." He says "there have recently been
many splits in the ranks of the Local Coordinating Committees," adding
that "Burhan Ghalyun has held a dialogue with Kilo in Paris." The
revolution's goal "is to topple the regime and establish democracy in
Syria," he says, adding that "the symbols of the Syrian society should
define their position."
Asked if he has reservations on the National Council, Kilo says "there
are missions and programmes that should be achieved," adding that "in
2005, we agreed that the opposition should be based in Syria." He warns
that "the council is willing to exclude the Syrian-based opposition,"
and says "last Friday's protests praised the National Council and
denounced other opposition groups and figures, including Michel Kilo and
others, as traitors." He says "I do not say the council is behind that,"
recalling that "a council member threatened us in Cairo."
Asked how the National Council views the armed clashes between the
Syrian army and the FSA, Mirza hails "the heroes" of the FSA for
defending civilians. He says "a National Council delegation has met with
Al-As'ad and some other commanders of the SFA to discuss coordination
with the National Council." He says "we have asked for international
protection," adding that "if this scenario fails, then we will be
compelled to go to the United Nations."
Speaking in Turkish to the TV via satellite, with a voiceover Arabic
translation, Khaluq Ozdalga, Turkish deputy for the Turkish ruling
party, says "if the Arab initiative fails to resolve the Syrian crisis,
Turkey will not change its policy towards incidents in Syria." He says
"any such failure will be blamed on the Bashar al-Asad regime's
behaviour," adding that "Turkey expected Al-Asad regime not to keep its
promises." Al-Asad, he says, "is viewed by Turkey and most of the world
countries as a leader who cannot be trusted." Turkey, he says, "does not
back any military intervention in Syria and is ready to receive Syrian
refugees fleeing the regime's crackdown." He also says "Turkey will take
anti-Syrian measures only in coordination with the world community,"
adding that "Iran has lost much of its weight in the Arab countries."
In a statement to a TV correspondent via satellite, Iranian Deputy
Mahmud Ahmadi, speaking in Persian with a voiceover Arabic translation,
urges the Turks "not to interfere in Syria's affairs or establish a
buffer zone in Syrian territory." He says "Turkey should first resolve
its problems, especially with the Kurdistan Workers' Party." Urging
Turkey "to help the Syrian Government and people to resolve the crisis
through dialogue," he says "the Iranian people will not tolerate any
encroachment on Syria's sovereignty."
Asked about the dangers of Turkey seeking to establish a buffer zone and
arm the FSA, Killo says "as a result of the Syrian regime's security
solution, Syria has become open to all kinds of intervention." Warning
that "in such a case, nobody will be able to control the situation in
Syria," he urges "national unity in Syria and continued pressure on the
regime to determine Syria's future."
Asked if he expects Turkey's intervention under an Arab and
international umbrella to protect civilians, Mirza says "the Turks have
offered many chances to the Syrian regime to make reform," adding that
"during our talks with him, Davutoglu warned of the dangers of civil war
in Syria."
Asked if he sees any difference between foreign intervention and
international protection of civilians, Kilo quotes Turkey's Erdogan as
saying "the situation in Syria is part of Turkey's domestic affairs."
The Turks, he says, "want a swift end to the crisis in Syria out of fear
that it may move to their country."
Asked about the consequences of any future Turkish intervention, Kilo
says "this depends on the form of intervention," warning that "if the
Turks establish a buffer zone, then this will prompt the regime to
launch a fierce war in all directions."
Al-Zufayri says the Syrian regime has abused the Arab League and
attacked embassies, asking if he sees any way out of the crisis.
Kilo calls for "the unity of the oppositi on based on a clear programme
to throw the regime into the dustbin."
Mirza says "a National Council delegation today met with Arab League
Chief Nabil al-Arabi to draw up a roadmap and form a preparatory
committee to open a dialogue inside the opposition based on Arab League
decision and the sought transition of authority." He says "the Arab and
international arenas believe that the Syrian regime has aborted the Arab
Kilo says "the regime will press ahead with its security solution,"
adding that "the society has rebelled against the regime and will turn
its rebellion into a revolution once a democratic state is established."
Mirza says "we are working with the opposition groups and the Arab
League and are trying to represent a new, democratic Syria."

former soldiers to run away with their weapons.a** The Syrian
National Council (SNC) is stating that the attack on the Harasta
base had been carried out by the FSA.
The following is a Statement from the FSA on their official
website that Omar translated and was posted 12 hours ago (5AM
Syrian local time):
-The FSA conducted operations in most areas of Damascus in order
to spoil a plan of the Regime against the Syrian people, as well
as to demonstrate to the Regime that the FSA is able to conduct
operations in all places and in any time. Details of operation
1- FSA has hit the special air force intelligence base for the
southern region in which the FSA infiltrated the base and placed
powerful explosives throughout the base
2- Firefights between FSA and and Syrian armed gangs in Kabon
3- Firefight in Douma between FSA and regime forces resulted in
heavy losses for regime forces
4- FSA clashes with Republican Guard in which Assad was taught
a lesson he won't forget in the arbein (sp?) houmria (sp?) and
sakaba (sp?) area
5- FSA clashes with regime forces near oosh almoror (sp?) and
the road to almashfi (sp?)
(The Free Syrian Army did not offer details of casualties)
2. Details on the Military Council: (From Bayless)
--Also, it should be noted that nothing is posted about the
formation of a military council on the Free Syrian Armya**s
facebook page, but Bayless just found a transcript from an AJ talk
show where Riyad Al Assad was interviewed and it was pre-recorded
from Turkey. In the transcript he specifically says the FSA has
formed a military councila*|more details to come on what was
exactly in the script. Below is what Bayless has compiled so far:
Nov. 15 (1556 GMT) - Turkish state-owned Anatolia News Agency
publishes an interview conducted Nov. 15 with FSA leader Col.
Riyadh al-Assad in which al-Assad asserts that he is still in
Turkey. In the report, al-Assad puts the number of Syrian army
defections at over 15,000, adding that on Nov. 14 alone, almost
400 soldiers defected. The previous week, al-Assad claimed, 15
officers joined the FSA. Al-Assad emphasized that there are
colonels among these defections, but notably omitted any reference
to higher-ranking officers such as generals. (source: BBC
Monitoring, no link)
Nov. 15/16? - The FSA announced the creation of a temporary
military council. There are conflicting claims as to when the
announcement was made, but the earliest possibility is "late Nov.
15." VOA News cites Hozan Ibrahim, a Germany-based spokesman for
the LCC, as claiming that the FSA statement was released late Nov.
15. All other media reports claim the statement was released Nov.
16. Regardless, it appears that the announcement of the council's
creation came after the attacks on the intelligence compound in
Who is leading it?
Col. Riyadh al-Assad is tabbed to chair the council.
Who are the other leading members?
No names have been released, but AFP claims that the leadership
includes four colonels and three majors. AFP also states that this
is the first time the FSA has ever announced a central command.
Jordanian media outlet al-Bawaba, however, reports that there are
nine total officers in the council, including four colonels and
three lieutenant-colonels (source: here, here, here,)
What is its purpose?
To "establish a military tribunal of the revolution which will
held regime officials accountable for those individuals found
guilty of murder and acts of aggression against the Syrian
citizens or destruction of public or private properties."
To "bring down the current regime, protect Syrian civilians from
its oppression, protect private and public property, and prevent
chaos and acts of revenge when it falls." (source)
How long will it stick around?
The powers of the council will expire upon the election of a
democratic government (sounds like the NTC to me).
3. Video Showing Old Footage:
The video aired was not important and was the media analysts
actually did not claim for it to be actual footage of the Harasta
What we Think We Know:
Protests in Harasta occur usually every other day
which is nowhere near the daily protests we see in cities like
Homs, Hama, cities in the Idlib province, and Deraa a** where the
protests in those hotspots are not only daily but occur multiple
times each day in multiple neighborhoods. Additionally the size
of the protests that occur in Harasta are on a much smaller scale
than other hotspot cities. In Harasta a typical protest contains
roughly 50-80 protesters. In terms of security presence in
Harasta, it is not like Homs or Deraa where Syrian security forces
are stationed in the city and where tanks and APCs are on major
streets. However, protests in Harasta are still shut down fairly
quickly as there are many reports of security forces and shabiya
firing on the protesters to break up the demos.
Below are the latest reports by the LCC in regards to the
demonstrations and security force activity in Harasta from Nov. 7
a** Nov. 16.

Harasta is 12 minutes driving distance to the
northeast of Damascus, roughly 8.5Km away. To the northeast of
Harasta is Douma and is roughly 9 minutes away driving time and
roughly 4.8KM. Douma has seen much more frequent protests and
therefor more heavy security response. Douma sees protests
multiple times/day and the security forces seem to react quicker
with gunfire on the demonstrators. Below is a list of activity in
Douma including protests and security forces in the from Nov. 7

presence and military presence all along Jalaa Street and many
mosques being surrounded
What We Dona**t Know:
We still have no clues to whether this attack really
took place or not. So far we have not seen any response or
statements whatsoever from the Syrian government. Every single
report we have gotten has been from a**activists inside Syriaa**
the various opposition groups, the SNC, and the Free Syrian Army
itself. It is highly unlikely that video footage will emerge from
this attack, but what would be likely is footage to emerge showing
the damage to the complex. This sort of video images would be
much easier to access and if we can get footage or pictures of
damage then we can have a better clue of 1. Whether the attack
occurred and 2. What kind of weapons were used.
What we can watch for are a drawdown of troops in
hotspot areas where troops are dedicated, which we would be able
to know from reports of how large the protests are (because less
security forces would allow for longer and larger protests). Also
we need to watch for an increase in military forces within
Damascus and the suburbs of Damascus including Harasta and Douma.
In terms of Riyad Al Assad, we now know that he is
still in Turkey.
In terms of the weapons used during the attack and the
origin of the weapons it is very likely that the weapons used were
taken with the soldiers when they defected (I have seen video
footage of the FSA with their RPGs and machine guns).
We dona**t know what route and by what means the FSA
was able to travel to Harasta. It is possible some were already
stationed in the suburbs of Damascus or that they had to travel
there from Homs or another big city.

The borders of the lot of Judah. (1-12) Caleb's portion, His daughter's blessing. (13-19) The cities of Judah. (20-63)
Verses 1-12 Joshua allotted to Judah, Ephraim, and the half of Manasseh, their inheritances before they left Gilgal. Afterwards removing to Shiloh, another survey was made, and the other tribes had their portion assigned. In due time all God's people are settled.
Verses 13-19 Achsah obtained some land by Caleb's free grant. He gave her a south land. Land indeed, but a south land, dry and apt to be parched. She obtained more, on her request, and he gave the upper and the nether springs. Those who understand it but of one field, watered both with the rain of heaven, and the springs that issued out of the earth, countenance the allusion commonly made to this, when we pray for spiritual and heavenly blessings which relate to our souls, as blessings of the upper springs, and those which relate to the body and the life that now is, as blessings of the nether springs. All the blessings, both of the upper and the nether springs, belong to the children of God. As related to Christ, they have them freely given of the Father, for the lot of their inheritance.
Verses 20-63 Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here find Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but little among the thousands of Judah, ( Micah 5:2 ) , except that it was thus honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities.
Joshua 15:1-12 . BORDERS OF THE LOT OF JUDAH.
1. This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah--In what manner the lot was drawn on this occasion the sacred historian does not say; but it is probable that the method adopted was similar to that described in Joshua 18:10 . Though the general survey of the country had not been completed, some rough draft or delineation of the first conquered part must have been made, and satisfactory evidence obtained that it was large enough to furnish three cantons, before all the tribes cast lots for them; and they fell to Judah, Ephraim, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The lot of Judah came first, in token of the pre-eminence of that tribe over all the others; and its destined superiority thus received the visible sanction of God. The territory, assigned to it as a possession, was large and extensive, being bounded on the south by the wilderness of Zin, and the southern extremity of the Salt Sea ( Numbers 34:3-5 ); on the east, by that sea, extending to the point where it receives the waters of the Jordan; on the north, by a line drawn nearly parallel to Jerusalem, across the country, from the northern extremity of the Salt Sea to the southern limits of the Philistine territory, and to the Mediterranean; and on the west this sea was its boundary, as far as Sihor (Wady El-Arish).
2. the bay--Hebrew, "tongue." It pushes its waters out in this form to a great distance [ROBINSON].
3. Maaleh-akrabbim--Hebrew, "the ascent of scorpions"; a pass in the "bald mountain" by these venomous reptiles.
5. the end--that is, the mouth of the Jordan.
6. Beth-hogla--now Ain Hadjla, a fine spring of clear and sweet water, at the northern extremity of the Dead Sea, about two miles from the Jordan [ROBINSON].
Beth-arabah--"the house," or "place of solitude," in the desert of Judah ( Joshua 15:61 ).
stone of Bohan the son of Reuben--the sepulchral monument of a Reubenite leader, who had been distinguished for his bravery, and had fallen in the Canaanite war.
Joshua 15:13-15 . CALEB'S PORTION AND CONQUEST.
13. unto Caleb he gave a part among the children of
14. drove thence the three sons of Anak--rather three chiefs of the Anakim race. This exploit is recorded to the honor of Caleb, as the success of it was the reward of his trust in God.
15. Debir--"oracle." Its former name, Kirjath-sepher, signifies "city of the book," being probably a place where public registers were kept.
Joshua 15:16-20 . OTHNIEL, FOR HIS VALOR, HAS ACHSAH TO WIFE.
16-20. He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher--This offer was made as an incentive to youthful bravery prize was won by Othniel, Caleb's younger brother ( Judges 1:13 , 3:9 ). This was the occasion of drawing out the latent energies of him who was destined to be the first judge in Israel.
18, 19. as she came unto him--that is, when about to remove from her father's to her husband's house. She suddenly alighted from her travelling equipage--a mark of respect to her father, and a sign of making some request. She had urged Othniel to broach the matter, but he not wishing to do what appeared like evincing a grasping disposition, she resolved herself to speak out. Taking advantage of the parting scene when a parent's heart was likely to be tender, she begged (as her marriage portion consisted of a field which, having a southern exposure, was comparatively an arid and barren waste) he would add the adjoining one, which abounded in excellent springs. The request being reasonable, it was granted; and the story conveys this important lesson in religion, that if earthly parents are ready to bestow on their children that which is good, much more will our heavenly Father give every necessary blessing to them who ask Him.
Joshua 15:21-63 . CITIES OF JUDAH.
21-63. the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah--There is given a list of cities within the tribal territory of Judah, arranged in four divisions, corresponding to the districts of which it consisted--the cities in the southern part ( Joshua 15:21-32 ), those in the lowlands ( Joshua 15:33-47 ), those in the highlands ( Joshua 15:48-60 ), and those in the desert ( Joshua 15:61 Joshua 15:62 ). One gets the best idea of the relative situation of these cities by looking at the map.

The spirited and scholarly #1 New York Times bestseller combines boisterous history with grammar how-to's to show how important punctuation is in our world—period.
In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, former editor Lynne Truss, gravely concerned about our current grammatical state, boldly defends proper punctuation. She proclaims, in her delightfully urbane, witty, and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. Using examples from literature, history, neighborhood signage, and her own imagination, Truss shows how meaning is shaped by commas and apostrophes, and the hilarious consequences of punctuation gone awry.
Featuring a foreword by Frank McCourt, and interspersed with a lively history of punctuation from the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, Eats, Shoots & Leaves makes a powerful case for the preservation of proper punctuation.
British Book Award – Winner
Eats, Shoots & Leaves "makes correct usage so cool that you have to admire Ms. Truss."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Witty, smart, passionate."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books Of 2004: Nonfiction "This book changed my life in small, perfect ways like learning how to make better coffee or fold an omelet. It's the perfect gift for anyone who cares about grammar and a gentle introduction for those who don't care enough."—The Boston Sunday Globe

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches is part of their "Lighter Options" line of products. These are "made with creamy strawberry low fat frozen yogurt with thick swirls of strawberry fruit filling sandwiched between two chewy honey oat granola wafers."
I saw it next to all of the other tempting frozen treats on WalMart's shelves, and at $3.50 for a pack of 6, I couldn't pass them up. When I unwrapped one, I was pleasantly surprised that these sandwiches are quite thick and large enough to satisfy any sweet craving you may have. The light pink frozen yogurt is sandwiched between two soft, thin oatmeal cookies. The perfectly sweet strawberry yogurt has swirls of vibrant strawberry fruit filling throughout that add a burst of flavor. Once the creamy, smooth yogurt melds together and slides down your throat, the soft oatmeal cookies steal the show. The only drawback to the delicious soft cookie base is that you may find it somewhat messy to eat one of these frozen treats by hand (which kind of defeats the supposedly portable nature of your typical sandwich). However, this will encourage you to plate up your dessert and enjoy every bite to the fullest. These were so good that I had to force myself from returning to the freezer to get another .
Each 68 gram Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches provides 180 calories, 4 grams of total fat, of which 2 grams is saturated fat (6% & 10% of the daily value), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the DV), 16 grams of sugars and 3 grams of protein. The ingredient list is certainly not short and high fructose corn syrup makes quite a few appearnaces (for those concerned about that).
I would rather have this satisfying treat than some stingy 100 calorie pack of nothing - I'm looking at you, Entenmann's Little Bites 100 Calorie Packs of Blueberry Muffins.

Marsh starts to get helped off then decides he's ok to continue, puts his pad back on and walks carefully to the non-striker's end. Very bizarre
Over 40.5: Coles to Marsh, one run, short, pulls to fine leg, is pushing hard thinking of coming back for a second when he collapses in agony holding his right leg, ends up writhing in agony on the ground. Physio comes out, Marsh in lots of pain
Was on 99 after taking that single.
EDIT: Just wanted his century it seems.
Over 42.1: Coles to Marsh, one run, short, pulls through mid wicket, hobbles through for a single to bring up his century then limps off the ground to generous applause
