Henderson Land May Post Lower Profit on Failed Sales
Henderson Land Development Co., controlled by billionaire Lee Shau-kee, will probably report lower first-half profit tomorrow after a HK$734 million ($94 million) charge from 20 failed luxury apartment sales.
Profit, excluding revaluation gains, may decline to HK$1.71 billion in the six months to June 30 from HK$2.11 billion a year earlier, Credit Suisse Group AG Hong Kong-based analyst Cusson Leung said in an interview. Leung derived both figures from Henderson's earnings last year as the company changed its financial year to December from June in 2009.
The developer, Hong Kong's fifth biggest by value, in June said HK$2.67 billion worth of sales at its 39 Conduit Road project had fallen through, sparking a probe by authorities and prompting the government to order developers to improve sales tactics and better disclose transactions. The company has denied any wrongdoing and Lee, 82, hasn't spoken publicly since.
"First-half earnings will mainly be about profits from the sale of inventories at various projects," said Leung, who has a "neutral" rating on the stock and forecasts it will rise to HK$52.60 over 12 months. "We'll look out for their expectation of second-half sales."
Henderson's shares have fallen 19 percent this year, the worst performer in the seven-member Hang Seng Property Index, which declined 4.3 percent during the period. Henderson fell 0.4 percent to HK$47.25 at the 4 p.m. close in Hong Kong today.
Headland Road
Henderson said this month it sold two houses at a Headland Road luxury project in Hong Kong's Island South district for a total of more than HK$1 billion. It also restarted sales at 39 Conduit Road, with one apartment being offered for HK$186 million. The units are not part of the collapsed sales.
"The prices achieved at Headland Road are somewhat out of our expectation" given current market conditions, said Credit Suisse's Leung. "Investors will also pay attention to sales at 39 Conduit Road as these will be the main contributors for second-half profit."
The city's government this month raised down-payment ratios and said it will increase land supply to curb a 45 percent jump in housing prices since the start of 2009. Four days after the announcement, Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd., controlled by Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, paid more than estimated for two buildings sites in a government auction.
39 Conduit
Henderson will book profits in the first half from projects including 39 Conduit Road, Green Lodge and 8 Royal Green, Raymond Ngai, a Hong Kong-based analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co., wrote in a Aug. 23 report. The company may book three units sold at 39 Conduit Road during the period to bring in HK$349 million in revenue.
The developer will report underlying profit of HK$1.3 billion, down 39 percent from a year earlier, according to Ngai. Excluding charges from the failed sales, profit may rise 4 percent from 2009 to HK$2 billion, Ngai said.
One of the sales that fell through was an apartment Henderson said it was selling for a world-record HK$88,000 a square foot.
Hong Kong developers sell apartments as they're being built and book profits upon completion.
Police seized documents from Henderson last month as part of its investigation into the failed sales. The developer has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in the way it handled the transactions as the government has sought details on the sale agreements at the project in the Mid-Levels district on Hong Kong Island.
The company declined to attend a July 12 special session in parliament, called by lawmakers to discuss the transactions.
Units Planned
Founded by Lee in 1973, Henderson has been buying land outside of government auctions, the main source of development plots in Hong Kong, to build a 40 million-square-foot (3.7 million-square-meter) landbank in the rural New Territories, the most among local developers.
Henderson plans to build 45,000 units across the city, most of them small to medium size, Lee said June 1 without giving a timeframe.
"The main thing to watch for is an update on its purchase of old buildings for redevelopments and farmland conversion," wrote JPMorgan's Ngai.
Lee, with a fortune Forbes magazine estimated at $18.5 billion in March, is Hong Kong's second-richest man.
The developer's landmark properties include the International Financial Center, co-developed with Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., and luxury residential projects such as the Grand Promenade in the Eastern district of Hong Kong Island and the Grand Waterfront in East Kowloon.
Among major developers, Cheung Kong and Hang Lung Properties Ltd. have reported earnings. Sun Hung Kai, the world's biggest builder by market value, will post full-year earnings on Sept. 20.

I am developing an application in C# VS 2010 past 4 months. I used MS Access 2007 to store my nearly 20 tables successfully.
Today I realized that my data base cannot be handled consistently by MS Access 2007. Hence I decided to go for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Upsizing wizard and it worked really great!
However, when I tried to run various options of my already well developed application, It kept throwing error each time when a query is fired to SQL Server.
I understood that Many of the stuffs of SQL supported by MS Access are not supported by MS SQL Server
For example: query with date, for representing date format when we use '#', SQL Server 2008 won' t recognize it.
Also, for Bool value, MS Access stores it as True and False where as SQL Server uses 0.
These all queries worked perfect with Access 07
I am sure that there must be some method so that SQL Server can understand MS access queries.
Or will I have to edit my whole application?? It will be as good as digging a mine for earning gold..
I have changed all data access objects such as reader, adapter, command, connection to SQL data objects using
So, It is not the problem.
Please help me asap.
Thank you.

i have been taking serrapeptase for 6 months. i have only had to take pain killers twice in the past 6 months. i have arthritus, a hip replacement and both shoulders have been operated for rotator cuff injuries. i take two in the morning and two at night. i started out taking 8 a day for two months. the most amazing discovery was the fact i had little or no dental plaque. i hadnt had my teeth cleaned in 13 months and i dread that procedure because i have so much plaque. the only plaque i had was alittle bit on my bottom teeth. tnis is one of the most amazing herbs. i am 78 years old and feel wonderful.

I am an acupuncturist & I am always seeking products that really work and make a difference. This product seems to be one of those products. Actually, silkworm droppings (can sha) have been used in chinese medicine for phlegm and other accumulations obstructing the channels and other conditions linked to pain. With this in mind, serrapeptase (made from silkworm digestive enzymes) is a very valuable medicinal substance to dissolve accumulations and resolving the root of many pain/dysfunction syndromes. I haven't tried other brands, so I can't compare, but I personally felt results with this product as did the few patients that I tried it with.

This is a supplement which does similar work to aspirins and NSAIDs with fewer side effects. I have been using this particular brand for about 1 1/2 years and I would recommend it as quite good within the variety of brands and strengths available. I don't want to go too deeply and be misconstrued as belonging to the company's advertising section, so I'll stop with that. Its good. Give it a try. Don't expect overnight actions; give it a couple weeks.

Within two weeks of using Serrapeptase I noticed the solar keratosis ( sun damaged skin ) on my scalp improving. Now after six weeks it is still improving and I believe it is slowly dissolving scar tissue on my nose from a previous skin cancer site. To say the least I am delighted and I have now put my 17 year old son on Serrapeptase to see if we can improve his acne and some scarring from the same.

Great product for taking care of pain and scar tissue. Works better if you take bromelain, magnesium, carnitine and selenium with it.

Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo said he wants to see how the team's new linebacker scheme works before he commits to it beyond this week.
Jamar Chaney has moved to the middle, with Casey Matthews on the weakside and Moise Fokou on the strong side.
Chaney had one of his best games last season in the middle against the Giants and it sounds like Castillo wants Chaney at the MIKE because of the Giants' run game.
He said the linebackers are interchangeable and he wants to hit different gaps with the current alignment. This is a "gameplan type deal," he said.

Best Traditional Brunch (2009)
Ellyngton's at the Brown Palace
You don't get more traditional than the Brown Palace, and the Sunday brunch at Ellyngton's is a completely over-the-top version of the classic, high-society Sunday brunch. Here you'll find everything from egg and waffle stations to carving stations with white-toqued chefs slaving over hot steamship rounds, to salad, sushi, and pastry boards from the in-house bakery. If you want to up the ante, you can go for the Dom Perignon version, which is definitely a nice way to start the day but will set you back nearly two hundred bucks. If you've got that kind of green to blow, though, what better way to do it than by pulling up a chair in front of mountains of jumbo shrimp, wrapping those suckers in rare slabs of prime rib, and then washing it all down with Dom drunk straight from the bottle? Top hat and monocle optional...

What's wrong and what's right with 'Nine'
Here's the lowdown on the highly anticipated movie musical "Nine": Rob Marshall's latest 'should' still get nominated for Best Picture, but that's only because there are ten nominations and the competition is weak. A blunt assessment to be sure, but the truth hurts. Starpower will also help get it in and if The Weinstein Company and Relativity Media are lucky, the once-in-a-lifetime appeal of Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench, Fergie, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson and Daniel Day-Lewis in a movie together should lead to pleasant financial returns, but this doesn't rank among the highly respected musicals of the decade alongside "Chicago," "Moulin Rouge" and "Dreamgirls."
Adapting a musical based on a Fellini movie would be a difficult task for anyone, but Rob Marshall and screenwriters Michael Tolkin and the recently departed Anthony Minghella may have taken on too much here. Or, perhaps they have changed so much the core of the musical that won the top Tony Award isn't really there anymore. Awards Campaign will let the Broadway experts argue that, but in a movie context here is a clear breakdown of what works and what doesn't in "Nine."
Marion Cotillard
In only her second English-language role [Correction: her second major English speaking role since winning an Oscar for "Ma Vie En Rose"], Cotillard absolutely steals the movie as Guido's long suffering wife Luisa. Cotillard provides the most emotionally honest performance in the film and her two numbers including "My Husband Makes Movies/Long Ago" and the new song "Take it All" are heartbreaking. The biggest positive from "Nine" is the realization that Cotillard is on her way to joining Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett as one of the top actresses of her generation. You just can't wait to see what she'll do next. There is some debate about whether Academy members will consider her lead or supporting, but it would be a crime if she didn't land a nomination before her co-stars.
Penelope Cruz
The Spanish bombshell is having quite a year. She won her first Oscar for "Vicky Christina Barcelona," is the best thing in buddy Pedro Almodovar's "Broken Embraces" and has the most well-rounded part as Guido's mistress Carla in "Nine." The actress will have many mens tongue's wagging after her sexually over-the-top number "A Call From the Vatican" (those publicity stills don't do it justice). In "Nine" Cruz gets to be sultry, funny and dramatic with a supporting character that actually has somewhat of an arc (a rarity in the flick). And it could just lead to another Oscar nod.
Kate Hudson
First off, it's great to see Hudson in a movie that's at least attempting to be something more than commercial dreck. It's been quite awhile since Hudson has made anything that lives up to her title as a former Oscar nominee for "Almost Famous." Moreover, Hudson's new number, "Cinema Italiano," is easily the most memorable and entertaining part of the film (pretty much why a new trailer was devoted entirely to it). Yep, Hudson shows she can sing and boy can she dance. Unfortunately, her role as an American fashion journalist and "Italiano" means almost nothing in the context of the movie.
Nicole Kidman
She's barely in the movie and, yes, some will criticize that she hardly resembles the Italian cinema icon she's supposed to play, but Kidman brings an energy and wit to her role as Guido's muse Claudia the film sorely lacks most of the time. And her one number, "Unusual Way," is the most moving part of the film next to Cotillard's fine moments.
The Production Design, Costumes and Cinematography
"Nine" looks beautiful. From Colleen Atwoods spot on costumes to John Myhre's period production design to cinematographer Dion Beebe's evocative lighting (which covers up a lot of the directorial flaws), you can't criticize the film's overall look. It's one of those pictures you just want to jump into and explore (assuming you look good in slim-fitting Italian suits).
The Music
Like a good musical should, "Nine" sound great. The orchestrations and arrangements are all very, very nice. Moreover, unlike some recent movie musicals like "Mamma Mia" and "Sweeney Todd" which featured questionable vocals by Pierce Brosnan and Johnny Depp respectively, no one is going to be knocking the talents of this large and diverse cast.
Daniel Day-Lewis
He may be one of the world's greatest actors, but Day-Lewis was completely miscast in the leading role of stressed-out filmmaker Guido Contini. It's not that he can't sing, in fact the two-time Oscar winner's vocal talents are fine. The issue is that he brings absolutely no charm to a part and therefore provides the audience with no excuse to have any sympathy for Guido. Why are all these women throwing themselves at this moody jerk? Where is the irresistible charisma behind this man? Even in his desperation over getting his new movie made there is no joy, not even an occasional smile in his Guido. Worse, you detest him by the end of the film. That's a big problem.
The Screenplay
All kudos to the fantastic Minghella (who I had the great pleasure of working with on the marketing campaign for "Talented Mr. Ripley"), but this screenplay is a mess. As David Poland so accurately points out in his criticism of the film, almost none of these songs move the story along. Uh guys, that's the whole point of having the songs in the movie. And when the catchiest new song appears in the film -- "Cinema Italiano," sung by Hudson -- it does absolutely nothing for the storyline. It's so out of place you could cut it out and you'd never miss it. Most disconcerting is Guido's 180 degree turnaround which takes place over only two scenes at the end of the movie. One "enlightening" conversation with Judi Dench's Lilli character and Guido is a changed man. So, the audience has put up with Guido's hour and 40 minutes of self-destruction to watch him solve it all in less than 5 minutes? Egad.
The Direction
Director Rob Marshall captures a breezy Italian feel of the 1960s, but unlike the seamless integration in "Chicago," having the musical numbers appear as imaginary performances on a sound stage severely halts the dramatic flow of the movie. This is the sort of film you want to hear the actors break into song during a dramatic moment. Yet, Marshall keeps it almost all on the stage. Worse. besides Guido's first number there is pretty much no three-dimensionality to any of the numbers. They are all shot facing front as though they were on a theatrical stage, not a movie stage mind you. And after awhile, well, it gets visually boring. And lastly, what happened with Fergie? Stacy Ferguson belts "Be Italian" out better than even her biggest fans would expect, but her musical number has almost no close ups and is a monotonous string of long shots with numerous dancers crowding the Black Eyed Peas member. Not only is it bizarre in context, but if she was so bad as the whore Saraghina why not reshoot some of the number? it's just hard to fathom Fergie couldn't pull off whatever Marshall was looking for.
Positive and negative's aside, "Nine" isn't going anywhere in the Oscar race. As previously stated, it's still a strong contender to make the final ten, but it's nowhere near the pool of possible consensus winners which include "Up in the Air," "Precious," "Invictus" and "The Hurt Locker." The Weinsteins may even be able to steal a Best Picture Musical or Comedy statue from the Globes, but that won't mean much besides a nice celebration that night and maybe some extra box office the following weekend.
As for Marshall, he's shown he can hire talented people to work a production, but after this and the misfire "Memoirs of A Geisha" is he really the man Disney wants taking over the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise? Jerry Bruckheimer, Bob Iger and new Disney studio head Rich Ross may be contemplating that possibility as you're reading this.
"Nine" opens in limited release on Dec. 18 and nationwide on Christmas Day.

We initially regretted Vista, too
Windows ME and Windows Vista are arguably the two most forgettable versions of Windows ever to be released. That's not just public opinion, at least as it pertains to the latter, which happens to be Steve Ballmer's biggest regret during his time served as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Microsoft. Now that he's announced his impending retirement, he can talk a bit more candidly about his track record.
Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet got the rare opportunity to interview Ballmer after announcing his retirement, noting that it's been 20 years since she's been allowed by Microsoft to talk to him. She doesn't know why that is, but if there's an upside, it's that two decades gives you plenty of time to think up questions you'd like to ask. Among them was inquiring about Ballmer's biggest regret.
"I would say probably the thing I regret most is the, what shall I call it, the loopedy-lo that we did that was sort of Longhorn to Vista," Ballmer said . "I would say that's probably the thing I regret the most. And, you know, there are side effects of that when you tie up a big team to do something that doesn't prove out to be as valuable."
Vista was a mess from the beginning , both in terms of compatibility with certain products, and also performance issues that reared their ugly heads. Things improved substantially following Vista's first Service Pack, but by then, the OS's reputation was pretty badly tarnished.
Ballmer touched on a number of other topics as well. He revealed that Bill Gates didn't ask him to stay or go, calling it a personal decision and one that Gates respected,

One by one, her classmates entered their pews. A baby cried. The eighth grade girls rustled their music, ready to start their song to Mary, and Clare shivered inside herself. She was not pure, not fit. And, too, she lacked faith. In her pride, she had seen Father Etienne as a man instead of a priest.
Did she know this yet? Not when she genuflected in front of the altar railing and thought of herself inside the confessional kneeling on her dress so it tugged, and Father sliding the screen, his face silhouetted as she hurried into her confession: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I was disrepectful to my parents, I fought with my brother four times, I pulled a cat's tail . . . and then the long moment while she thought darkly and Father asked not once, but twice, if there was anything more. Clare took a breath and squeezed her eyes shut tight and then opened them. I told a lie, she said, and then they were both waiting as though Father knew there was something else she should say. Clare listened to the blackness and their breathing between them and wondered if she could add it was a lie to a boy. She hesitated, hoping Father would ask again if there was something more, but he didn't. Instead, he asked if she had any questions. Clare could see the outline of his hand as it moved. She heard the back of his fingers rolling lightly against the wood with a sound like a short glissando, and she thought of his cigarettes and the smoke that had risen above his hand on the shovel on her very first day at St. Francis. She pictured his face, so close through the screen, and the morning when he'd laughed because she'd run home in the early dark.
No, she hadn't known then when she answered No, Father, and she didn't know now as she rose from her genuflection and the girls broke into their song, and Father Etienne and Jeff Grauer and the other acolyte turned to face Mary's altar. Clare's shoe caught on her hem as she started up the ladder. She tipped a little, then righted herself, still clutching the wreath. Mary was porcelain-still. There were no glycerine tears. No streaks of blood. Clare balanced her leg against the ladder side and went farther up to the last step. She reached for the statue. She crowned Mary and, as she backed down the steps, the wreath slipped cock-eyed across Mary's brow.
And even then she still didn't know, for she was only a child. She was Clare McHenry—Clare McHenry who'd made a bad confession, Clare McHenry who believed she'd not prayed enough for her mother's soul and who'd crowned Mary so the wreath sat at a rakish tilt like the hat of a sailor on Wharf Street in Hanbury. In the long unfolding of the Mass, Clare stared at that crooked wreath.
Outside afterwards, people gathered as though there'd been a wedding. The first grade had made May baskets and they scattered flowers. Boys ran on the grass, and the nuns were smiling, holding their veils in the wind. Clare tried pushing the heels of her shoes off her new blisters. She spotted her mother. She saw her at the edge of the crowd, the woman in the movies waiting at the station while the train pulls out and the face she loves begins to disappear. Years later, Clare identified that expression and knew how premature and forced their early distancing had been. But in the breezy day, with her heart so desperate, Clare looked for Sister Immaculata who had all the answers. In the sea of nodding veils, she wanted a nun like the nuns on the roof of St. Peter's.
Someone not yet heaven sent, but not really earthbound.
Somebody selling for God.

This past weekend marked the last race I had officially scheduled in 2011 as of right now. Since I don't have anything else planned (yet), I've decided to take a break from running for the next few weeks to try to let my left hamstring heal a little better. It's still bothersome from time to time and since I had two races in September I never really gave it a full rest. My plan is to do a mix of alternative cardio like the elliptical trainer and arc ramp, some yoga, a lot of stretching and foam rolling, and some strength training to improve my hams and glutes. I'm really quad-heavy when it comes to leg strength and this just gives me an even bigger reason to balance out.
With that plan in mind, I forced myself to the gym today after work. I really was going to miss it, but I didn't make it Monday, and yesterday I made plans to do happy hour with the lovely and charming Hope. We went to one of my favorite spots that I hadn't been to in a while and chatted for a couple hours over beer. She is just as sweet as she seems on her blog! I was relieved to find out we have a lot in common and she was so easy to talk (too much) to. I can't wait til the next time we hang out!
Back to the gym. I made it there and zoned out for most of the cardio. I broke from my zoning slightly when some dude decided to take the elliptical right next to me even though there were 10 open all down the row. Luckily, he didn't go into creeper mode and I resumed my zoning. I tracked my workout on Sparkpeople and took a screen cap to save on typing.
I could've gone a little harder, but I don't want to be an idiot and do too much right off the bat. I'll be heading back again tomorrow mostly likely to do more cardio and some upper body work.
That's really all I have to post about today. Everything else was sort of boring and I'm kind of funking right now so I will spare you all the mope fest. ;) Feel free to leave links to cute cats or something to perk me up. Good night!
Update: Almost forgot to mention this! Since Heather from Then Heather Said has a new kitty, I did a guest post on her blog about "adjustments" we had to make in our apartment to keep the shitheads kitters out of too much trouble. Check it out here!

Respond to Review of Restaurant La Lluna
by BlokefromBristol
Review: Turned up on a Saturday night without a booking, but they found us a table. I would suggest booking if you really want to come here, as most resturants in Valencia seem to be very busy from 9pm. This is not a large resturant, but it has a cosy laid back feel to it. Both here and Ana Eva seem to be popular with locals, which did surprise me a bit, as the spainish like there meat. Although we did not book, we were not told that we had to be finished by a set time which was good. The service was very quick and the waiter did speak some english. The menu was in english and clearly described what was in each dish. Also it had alot of vegan dishes, which were clearly marked as such. The food itself looked nice and I prefered it to Ana Eva, although my partner had the vegetable tortilla, which very bland so avoid that. I had the greek salad to start, which was a good size and a baked camenbet for my main. It does seem to that most people get a salad to go with their main, as you don't get veg with a main, as you would in the UK. We both enjoyed this meal, except the tortilla of course and would recommened you give it a try if you are in Valencia. The total cost was 43 euro for three courses and a couple of drinks each.

text: Hari Parbat Fort dates back to 1590, when the Mughal emperor Akbar had the intention to create a new capital, Nager Nagor. But the project was left unfinished until 1808, when the present fort was completed under the reign of Shuja Shan Durrani. Most recently, it has been confined to military use, but now tourists visiting this Indian government-controlled region of Jammu and Kashmir can enter through the fort's outer wall, with views of Dal Lake, Nigeen Lake, and Mughal Gardens to one side, and Srinigar city to the other. Visitors can still expect some military presence. Tour operators who will be offering visits to the fort include Wild Frontiers (020 7736 3968; wildfrontierstravel.com) and Greaves India (020 7487 9111; greavesindia.co.uk).Picture: Wild Frontiers

"Is our children learning?" as George W. Bush so famously asked.
Well, no, they is not learning, especially the history of their country, the school subject at which America's young perform at their worst.
On history tests given to 31,000 pupils by the National Assessment of Education Progress, the "Nation's Report Card," most fourth-graders could not identify a picture of Abraham Lincoln or a reason why he was important.
Most eighth-graders could not identify an advantage American forces had in the Revolutionary War. Twelfth-graders did not know why America entered World War II or that China was North Korea's ally in the Korean War.
Only 20 percent of fourth-graders attained even a "proficient" score in the test. By eighth grade, only 17 percent were judged proficient. By 12th grade, 12 percent. Only a tiny fraction was graded "advanced," indicating a superior knowledge of American history.
Given an excerpt from the Supreme Court's 1954 decision Brown v. Board of Education -- "We conclude that in the field of pubic education, separate but equal has no place, separate education facilities are inherently unequal" -- and asked what social problem the court was seeking to correct, 2 percent of high school seniors answered "segregation."
As these were multiple-choice questions, notes Diane Ravitch, the education historian, the answer "was right in front of them."
A poster put out by the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, circa 1940, was shown and the question asked, "The poster above seeks to protect America and aid Britain in the struggle against ..." Four countries were listed as possible answers.
A majority did not identify Germany, though the poster contained a clue. The boot about to trample the Statue of Liberty had a huge swastika on the sole.
"We're raising young people who are, by and large, historically illiterate," historian David McCullough told The Wall Street Journal.
"History textbooks," added McCullough, "are "badly written." Many texts have been made "so politically correct as to be comic. Very minor characters that are currently fashionable are given considerable space, whereas people of major consequence" -- such as inventor Thomas Edison -- "are given very little space or none at all."
Trendies and minorities have their sensibilities massaged in the new history, which is, says McCullough, "often taught in categories -- women's history, African American history, environmental history -- so that many students have no sense of chronology ... no idea of what followed what."

Looking for a winter cover for my Porsche with a fixed wing. Material seems to be very strong, but as others have noted it is a very tight fit, particularly between the mirrors and both ends. The coverage on the sides and front is excellent, 1" from ground on sides. Back coverage doesn't cover exhaust tips, which is unfortunate. The advantage to the mirror pockets is rain water drains off much better. Disadvantage is it takes three times longer to put on and take off due to tight fit.

Spartan Soldiers see 'Visible Progress' along Afghan highway
February 16, 2012
By 710th Brigade Support Battalion
Related Links
ZHARAY DISTRICT, KANDAHAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- Spartan Soldiers from 710th Brigade Support Battalion have significantly improved the lives of Afghan citizens living across Zharay and Maiwand districts through an initiative called "Operation Visible Progress," which is part of Spartan Brigade's nonlethal counterinsurgency campaign. It includes several aspects of improvement along Highway 1, the main road running through southern Afghanistan.
Decades of war and civil strife have damaged Highway 1 and the businesses along it. Most of the buildings have not been painted in years and many had bullet holes and showed other signs of fighting and neglect. Destroyed vehicles and other debris littered the sides of the road.
The 710th BSB received the "Operation Visible Progress" improvement mission along Highway 1 in August. Since then, Spartan Support Soldiers and their Afghan partners from the 5th Kandak of the 3rd Brigade, 205th Afghan Army Corps, have been improving the highway every week.
These improvements include painting signs and road markers, flying giant Afghan flags on poles welded by the battalion's welders, hanging Afghan government and security force banners, removing war debris, repairing mile markers, assisting small business owners in the bazaars along the road and numerous other small projects. The common theme is that all of them make Highway 1 safer and more attractive for the thousands of motorists who use it every day.
"This mission is important for several reasons," said Maj. David Normand, a member of the brigade's Stability Transition Team. "First, it improves the safety for coalition and local vehicles moving along the road. Second, it supports the brigade's counterinsurgency effort by transforming a main road that was littered with the scars of years, into something that the Afghans can be proud of. Third, it is a great opportunity for the 710th BSB to work with the Afghan 5th Kandak.
"It demonstrates to the people that coalition and Afghan forces care about this area and that we are working to improve it," he added.
Assisting small business owners with micro-grants is one of the key initiatives of the mission.
"Micro-grants are an important part of the project because they enable the Afghans to improve their own businesses," said 1st Lt. David Park, executive officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 710th BSB. "The grants are typically for gas station and other small business owners in amounts of ($5,000 to $10,000). The improvements include painting, installation of new pumps, and assisting with generators and wells."
All of the improvements are done by local Afghans, which serves to improve the local economy as well. Shop owners are all grateful for the assistance.
"My business has improved by almost 100 percent since the Soldiers came to help me," said Sarwar, a local business owner. "By providing me the money to paint my station and fix the gas pumps, my business looks professional and people want to stop here."
The mission's other aspects include removing destroyed vehicles from alongside the road. Some of these vehicles had been there for 10 years or more. In addition to being an eyesore to the community, they provided places for insurgents to hide explosives that could be used to attack Afghan and coalition security forces.
One of the most "visible" parts of the "Operation Visible Progress" mission is the Afghan flags and banners that are now seen along Highway 1. There are 10 cellular phone towers in the area that are all located on hills. The Visible Progress team hired local Afghans to paint huge flags on the walls surrounding these towers, which are visible for miles around. Most Afghans are proud of their country's flag, and painting and placing flags across the area sends a clear message to enemy insurgents: that this area is part of Afghanistan and the government is in control.
"Operation Visible Progress" is an opportunity for soldiers of the 5th Kandak to interact with the local population. Afghan Lt. Zaki led many of the missions.
"It is important for the people of Zharay and Maiwand districts to see that the Afghan army is here to help -- we are not the enemy," Zaki said. "For them to interact with us and see that we are the same as they are, is good. The Taliban never did anything to help these people. We are helping them, and they are grateful."
Second Lt. Vincent Fye, a platoon leader with A Company, 710th BSB, agreed that the mission is a great way to help the Afghan people.
"Some of the people are distrustful at first, but after you show them that we are here to improve their country, their attitude changes significantly," he said.
Since August, the improvements along Highway 1 have been significant. More than a dozen micro-grants were written and processed by the BSB. Seventeen destroyed vehicles were removed. More than 200 hazard markers were repaired and repainted. Tens of thousands of Afghans drive past more than 100 flags in the area on their way through Zharay and Maiwand. "Operation Visible Progress" is visible proof the Brigade and their Afghan partners are winning in Zharay and Maiwand districts.

They'll even give you a bag of ice to keep things fresh before they send you on your merry way to do a little seafood show of your own.
