After breakfast it became apparent that the parents were taking up more space than anticipated and they also needed to use the children's tables. This meant the kids had to find an alternative place to go for the morning. The alternative place ended up being our living room! Naively we thought they would see it as a novelty and as the meeting would probably only last an hour, that would be a short time to fill
So in the house we had 30 under 5's plus Banuka on a bad day - this all spells absolute chaos!! We did all the favorites (hokey pokey, birdie song, row row row your boat) through an interactive DVD and thought we had passed a chunk of the morning-only to realize the clock had just struck 10am! We put on a "Bob the Builder" DVD and there was silence for 10minutes and then that was the end of their attention span. With no sign of the meeting finishing, we resorted to bringing in their toys to play with.
Chandima was the only teacher with Mark and I as the others were involved with the meeting. She went outside to get something for 5minutes and her last words were "you watch Banuka". He was having one of his funny days but I'd been able to keep him quite contained and so far he hadn't managed to make his way into any of the bedrooms or lock himself in a toilet! As soon as she left, Banuka darted for the back door and away he went into the middle of the meeting! Now he's not a little boy by any means, so having to carry him back inside has definitely increased my triceps! That was really the start of him trying to escape and everytime I let go off him he ran for a door! He was distracted when he got his picture taken (when he decided to look all sweet and innocent)-it's a pity taking a photo only last a split second
The sense of relief at 1145 when the meeting was over was felt throughout! After moving all the furniture back, putting the tables into the classroom and the 3 of us taking 2 paracetemols, it was time for lunch! Lunchtime is usually a quiet occasion but in the true spirit of today, of course it wasn't! Let's just say one of the boys was too busy eating to realize he really should have been at the toilet! He only said he needed to go when it was too late!
There was only one afterschool class today lasting an hour, instead of the usual 2 as a staff meeting was happening for the permanent staff, so we were teachers down. Compared to this morning it was a picnic, although there was slight chaos when the meeting went on later than expected meaning there was no one to accompany the children on the bus. Thankfully the faithful Ananas (sort of caretaker) came to the rescue and shipped them all off on the bus!
I have to say we were laughing the whole way through, even when we were pondering when the next available flight back to Belfast would be! Now that a few hours have passed, I'm thinking "was it really that bad"?! It's all good craic and a day to remember!

In a systematic review of antiepileptic drugs, Philippe Ryvlin (of the Hospices Civils de Lyon, France) and colleagues show that children with drug-resistant partial epilepsy enrolled in trials seem to have a greater response to placebo than adults enrolled in such trials.
This finding is an important factor to consider when designing drug trials to be carried out in children with epilepsy.
These findings are discussed by Terry Klassen, from the University of Alberta, and his colleagues – who were not involved in the research. Klassen and colleagues comment on the "relatively weak evidence base informing medical care in children compared with adults".
They argue that there is a pressing need for more clinical trials research in children, but caution that such studies must be carefully designed and reported in order to provide valid results.

A new study of one of the fastest growing winery regions of the U.S. reveals the top three reasons people visit this area: wildflowers, wine and war. Any guesses where this might be? It happens to be the region around the small city of Fredericksburg, one point of a triangle: a convenient hour's drive from either Austin or San Antonio. Yes, it's in Texas.
Campania is a thrilling place. The hectic metropolis of Naples, the mysteries of Pompeii, the bucolic surroundings and gutsy wines of Taurasi and, of course, magnificent foodstuffs as exemplified by Mozzarella di Bufala (the best in the world and a D.O.P. product), help create a destination that is unique in the world of wine, food and travel.
I recently spent the afternoon of Saturday, March 9, 2013, engrossed in a vertical tasting of Taurasi at Mastroberardino that spanned more than six decades. I have long considered Mastroberardino, the first winery in the region to export outside of the province, to be the best such operation in Campania. I had also previously met Piero Mastroberardino in Denver in 2012 and had instantly bonded with this humble, artistic, articulate, tenth-generation winery owner.
"Oktober" and its many fests may arrive sooner than you think, but any month of year is a great time to explore Germany's beer cultures beyond Bavaria when contemplating your beer menu.
In major cities throughout the U.S., the proliferation of gastropubs and microbreweries has influenced everything from fast casual restaurants to fine dining. Some industry insiders point to London as the birthplace of the modern gastropub movement (coined in 1991 when restaurateurs David Eyre and Mike Belben took over The Eagle Pub, merging seemingly dissimilar concepts of informal neighborhood pub and high-end gastronomy destination).
Others, however, can argue that trends rooted in Germany beer and food culture have also made an impact. Walk through any neighborhood in Los Angeles or Chicago, and you will be as likely to stumble on "currywurst" restaurants spots and brauhaus-style pubs. U.S. entrepreneurs intent on taking Germany's historic beer legacy beyond Oktoberfest fairs should ideally show their guests that there are many ways to explore Germany's brewing traditions beyond Southern Germany, the region that most has shaped America's definition of German beer culture.

An invitation to attend an "Experience Argentina" press trip, focused on the foods of that country and the wines of Escorihuela Gascón, Alamos Winery and Catena Zapata, became a unique opportunity for me to delve into two very distinct expressions of the country's culture: food and wine. It was a tremendous week of viticultural and gastronomic excess, and I learned a ton about Mendoza wine and Buenos Aires city culture.
Mendoza nestles against the eastern flanks of the rugged Andes Mountains. Breathtaking and sparsely settled, it is a broad, flat, high-elevation plain at the edge of an inland desert, not unlike eastern Washington or even the wine country of my home state of Colorado. But the feel is actually quite Mediterranean, probably due to the large expat Italian community that has now spread to every corner of the country.
Buenos Aires is not only much more cosmopolitan than Mendoza but also very southern European in flavor and flair. There are great restaurants in all 48 neighborhoods of this metropolis, and if you have happy feet you're never too far from a tango.
The last time I spoke with them, Dave and Will Willis were excited about getting the first few orders for their tiny, artisanal distillery in Boston. One year later their spirits in three states (CT, MA, RI) thanks to a new craft beverage division of their distributor, the Origin division of
Horizon Beverage Company. One of the Horizon owners started this division a couple years ago to focus on artisanal beverages, and they are now up to 50 products, with more than 350 skus in their portfolio-but that's a whole 'nother story . . . .
THE TASTING PANEL's visit to Arizona Cocktail Week was featured in our April issue. Here's an on-location video to whet your palates!
Burger-flipping season is right around the corner, and in the heart of California's Napa Valley, one iconic winery is already firing up the grill. Finalists from the 2012 Sutter Home's Build a Better Burger recipe contest were announced in late January, and preparations are being made for the final cook-off on May 18, where they will prepare their burgers for the palates of a panel of judges at the historic Sutter Home Winery in St. Helena.
Sutter Home created its signature Build a Better Burger recipe contest in 1990 as a way to demystify the wine experience by pairing one of America's favorite everyday meals-the burger-with one of the country's favorite wine brands, Sutter Home. The stakes are high. The contest is currently the second largest cash-prize recipe contest in the nation, with a beefy $100,000 grand prize for the winning all-beef burger and an additional $15,000 prize for the winning alternative burger. Only non-professional "home cooks" are allowed to enter.

On February 25th, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) finally "legalized cachaça," as they published a final rule that recognizes Brazil's national spirit as an official spirit and a distinctive product of Brazil. Prior to this ruling, cachaça was required to be labeled as "Brazilian rum" in the United States.
Leading brand Leblon Cachaça led the legalization efforts through social media and nightlife events, collecting over 300,000 signatures, to bring the petition to Congress. They also held frequent rallies and directly lobbied the TTB to pass the new legislation.
"Now that the U.S. government has recognized cachaça, it's time for the world to discover what it means to be Brazilian without leaving the States," explains Steve Luttmann, founder of Leblon.

It has to start somehow. And for Eric Arsenault, Wine & Spirits Director for the Michigan-based restaurant group Mainstreet Ventures, it started about three years ago.
"I was doing some work for one of our restaurant's websites and starting playing around with the idea of building a sub-website for the wine list, just to make it more interactive," Arsenault says. Then, when he saw someone sitting in a dining room holding an iPad, he thought to himself that the thin, lightweight device was certainly going to replace paper menus some day. That's how it started.
For Arsenault, who has an engineering degree from the University of Michigan, that "Aha!" moment led to researching various iPad-based wine apps. "But I didn't think that just sticking a wine list on a tablet was the real answer," he says. "There's so much technology sitting right in their hands. I knew we could take this concept a lot further."

For 2013, ProWein, the International Trade Fair for Wine and Spirits, held annually in Düsseldorf, Germany, has a series of exhibits, seminars and other special events planned that are designed to deliver value specifically to American attendees.
ProWein structures events in two formats, small, intimate "pop up" seminars on the trade floor itself, as well as events in areas specially set up to focus on subjects that are high-interest hot buttons.
"The Central Tasting Zone" is a case in point of the latter. According to Michael Degen, Director of ProWein, International Trade Fair Wines and Spirits, "About 1,000 wines will be available to taste in an efficient, self guided process customized to the individual's interest." Whether it's Georgia, Turkey or Tasmania, thousands of wines from countries around the world are on exhibit. Whether they are new wines from old countries or familiar varieties from new countries, the range of what's on exhibit is extraordinary.

Downtown Las Vegas is proving to be the hip place for those who want to get away from the well-worn hotel circuit on The Strip. One new place is putting a whole different spin on Sin City, trading uptown glitz for pre-Prohibition posh and polish.
Recently named one of the "7 New Reasons to Hit Las Vegas," by the New York Post,
Commonwealth brings a stylish new social scene to the burgeoning Downtown Vegas. The swanky 6,000-square-foot cocktail bar is a collision of art and architectural influences inspired by pre-Prohibition era design and libations—complete with its very own backroom speakeasy,

Speed Rack is a competition, and a tough one at that. Pitting the best female bartenders in each city against one another, the competition travels around to major cocktail markets before The Finals to determine Miss Speed Rack in May. Created by female bartenders for female bartenders, the best part has to even be mentioned: all proceeds from each event go to supporting breast cancer education, prevention and research. Follow along to find out who will win the coveted title of Miss Speed Rack. Tucson winner Shel Bourdon considered herself an unlikely speed test winner: "I am not known for being the fastest at mixing drinks. I have learned, developed and still work in more craft-focused environments." Bad news for a contestant of a timed competition, right?

Here's a gardening tip for mixed drinks mavens. Carter Reum, co-founder (with his brother Courtney) of VeeV Açai Spirit, grows herbs specifically for cocktails at the duo's shared home on a winding canyon road in upper Beverly Hills.
Having thought I'd heard everything about French wines, I was surprised to learn of a whole new area of IGP wines [Indication Géographique Protégée].
Want to guess? Here's a little more info: this is a huge region, the largest exporter of wines from France.
This region grows native and international varietals, and many of the producers have been getting more and more modern, creative and natural over the last decade or so.
Give up? It's the ancient kingdom of the Pays d'Oc (pronounced PAY-ee dock).

In September, six top Dry Creek producers — Paul Draper (Ridge), Erik Miller (Kokomo), Clay Mauritson (Mauritson), Doug Nalle (Nalle), Hugh Chappelle (Quivira) and Julie Pedroncelli (Pedoncelli) — participated in a panel discussion at Ridge Winery, "Debunking Zinfandel Myths," led by journalist Patrick Comiskey.
With vines dating to pre-Prohibition, Zinfandel is the grape most uniquely associated with California viticulture and was the first variety to create a wine craze in California; it is still known as "as the wine of the people." Today there is a renewed interest in this varietal as Zinfandel is being rediscovered and re-appreciated.

Bradley Smoker
Bradley Smokers has laid a path-breaking way of expertise and also to create a gourmet quality of smoked food. This provides a perfect output of smoked food which ought to provide the delicious taste. These Bradley Smokers are truly an innovation allowing to achieve professional quality product, thus creating a greater demand for smoke food.
As we can see that Bradley 6-rack digital electric smoker consists of special features which evolve around the concept of user-friendly environment for maintaining super good quality all over, in addition, these features allow it to stand out of the other products. Most striking feature is that it provides a great diversification of various Flavour briquettes.
With the above-mentioned statements, the key features include Convenience: this digital smoker gives the complete control of time, temperature, and degree of smoke at your fingertips. The second feature includes Quality: it is built from high-quality material and also built tough for long service life. The third features come up with the point of Value for Money where it serves the best superior quality compared to other digital smokers. Lastly, it's highly Adaptable and Upgradable. All these above features gave a heck for customers to satisfy their taste buds.
This is how Bradley Smokers work and function. So, coming to the main concept of this "Smokers Stuff", it's all about to bring the perfect ribs using Bradley Smokers to the table for serving.
Now let's see how this is done. The first step to getting ahead is to set the smoker to 275F using Flavour bisquettes of your choice ( like hickory, pecan and whiskey oak in which all these work great for ribs). Next step is to peel off the membrane from the each rack of ribs for smooth appearance (suggestion is to put up rubber gloves or paper towel to hold grip). Next, cut and mix together the brown sugar along with all the spices ( paprika, add 1 tbsp salt along with 2 tsp garlic powder and refine it with 1 tsp onion powder and,1 tsp ground black pepper. Also, append 1 tsp dry mustard with 1 tsp cayenne pepper an addition with 1 tsp thyme and finely 1 tsp dry oregano for perfect taste). Following, rub the racks of ribs in these spice mixture for an even taste of the flavor. Next, place the ribs in the smoker and smoke it for three to four hours. Subsequently, take the bbq sauce and now generously coat the ribs evenly with these sauce and let them dry for ten minutes to absorb the sauce into it. Finally, it's cut and serve into the plate for going crazy with smoky food. And also wrap them in the foil to stay combined with the smoke flavor and heat.
This Bradley Smoker helps out to burn and steam the rack of ribs to provide a complete essence for smoke food cravings. It would definitely satisfy the taste buds. Besides, it provides a great way to select amazing flavors which add taste to the smoky meat for a better crunch and liking.

First of all, the federal government doesn't create money; that's one of the jobs of the Federal Reserve, the nation's central bank.
The Fed tries to influence the supply of money in the economy to promote noninflationary growth. Unless there is an increase in economic activity commensurate with the amount of money that is created, printing money to pay off the debt would make inflation worse. This would be, as the saying goes, "too much money chasing too few goods."

Every five years over the past 15 years, the Commonwealth, States and Territories have negotiated healthcare agreements, and new agreements are about to be signed for the next five-year period (2003–2008). The Australian Health Care Agreements (AHCAs), which are negotiated bilaterally with each State, provide Commonwealth monies to the States in exchange for ensuring the States continue to provide free hospital care.

But there might have been more than just the pressure of success that was eating at Nguyen. According to a report published on Monday, the developer had received a letter from Nintendo. The Japanese game developer wrote Nguyen to warn him that the pipes used in Flappy Bird, along with some other background art, appeared to be taken directly from Nintendo's Super Mario games. The Flappy Bird developer had previously denied copying others in the creation of his game.
While Nintendo won't confirm or deny that it had sent a letter, Nguyen apparently avoided legal problems with Nintendo by taking the game down. But that might not save him from another problem. Another report out of Vietnam reveals that the country's Ministry of Finance is looking into Nguyen's earnings to see if he owes Vietnam some income tax.

Yes, that's faulty logic. It has already been pointed out how it would go down if someone who is not the angel claimed to be.

text: I own a two story colonial in New Hampshire. I have started to removed the plaster and lathe from the interior to retrofit insulation. The exterior of the house is clapboards with aluminum clapboards over it. The exterior has no house wrap or tyvek type material. The interior walls or 2x4 rough cut. My question is about poly vapor barriers and sealing. Since the house has no house wrap it is drafty. I would like to stop this draft but not sure of the proper way to do it. I figured a polyvapor barrier attached to the studs as the last item before drywall would stop air infiltration. I have heard conflicting information though about the vapor and the way the building breathes. Should I or should I not use the poly vapor barrier? My other question is about how to insulate. Again with wanting to get a tight wall I had though about putting 1/2 polyboard in the stud bays against the exterior sheathing and sealing the edges with expanding foam. After that I would put a unfaced fiberglass batt of 3 1/2 inches over and finish with the poly vapor barrier. But again the whole building breathing is what has me wondering. Also someone before me has put poly sheathing d****d over the ceiling studs from the top in the attic and then placed fiberglass batts over that. Is this correct? Should I actually tear down the ceiling, attach a vapor barrier and then sheetrock it? I know this was long winded but I appreciate any help! Thanks.

Does your black diamond have that needle like pieces?
I got some black 20/40 diamond blasting abrasive and it looks good except it has quite a few pieces that look like a thin piece of wire/needle.
Is it normal for black diamond?
mine also has them. doesn't seem to be a problem, though.
I have them as well. If they bother you, just pick them out. Otherwise, they aren't really a problem.
Picking them out of 4 bags would be a problem :-)
If you say they are fine then I'm ok with it. Thanks!
Could be different depending on what you have stocked in your tank. I have shrimp and corydoras hastatus. Doesn't seem to affect the shrimp or the corys but these corys aren't the most aggressive substrate diggers. I can see where something that really liked to dig in could potentially injure itself.
hmmm...wire/needle like pieces you say? I'd be a little concerned with cories and loaches with that.
I picked out whatever I could find but eventually I was like, "to hell with it!" and just left them mixed in the sand.
Hmmm, yours must be 30/60 grit. Mine is 20/40 and has much more of those "needles" and they are thin... Still feels OK in my palm but I did poke my finger once when I squeezed hard.
Ah, yeah I picked out the medium grade bag since it was said to be easier to work with than the finer grained stuff.
I wanted to have dwarf loaches but probably will stay with smaller corydoras only for now.
The last bag of 20/40 I picked up also looked similiar. Don't remember this issue with the first bag I used. I wonder if it varies by batch.
I really like the grain size, weight and color on this stuff, but I am not sure I would use it with any vigourous substrate diggers, which is too bad.
Anyone have suggestions for alternative capping materials that are about the same in grain-size and color range?
All I know is my assassin snails love the stuff. I have about 20 and it's kinda rare to see them because they're buried deep in it. Also recently spotted a couple of babies so that's awesome!
I also have 3 oto cats that don't mind it, though I do see them resting on my plants quite a bit.
I've always heard about people being really carefull with substrate choices and loaches/corys. I think it has been pretty well decided that lost barbs is a result of poor water quality.
Barbs are extremely sensitive and should be able to determine what is safe and what isn't before they cut them selves.
I have never actually heard of corys being harmed by any substrate.
I would love to hear at least one story!
My Blasting grit has them (thin strands of glass). Smaller diameter than what is seen in that picture. Be aware of them while you rinse it so as to not stick yourself too much. I have only had a few penetrate my skin and I rinsed mine really well for quite a while before placing it in my tanks.
That being said, my Oto cats rest on the blasting grit often and my cories (pygmaeus, paleatus) have no issues rooting aound in it all day long along with Malaysian Trumpet snails.:proud:
"I'm Wilfred Brimley, check your nitrates, check them often." (Disclaimer: I am not in actuality Wilfred Brimley.)
Sorry for the mini-rant, back to the OP.

The immediate impact of this development on the "Big Four" negotiations over Germany still re- mained unclear, since the foreign ministers were edging into the German problems slowly, with much wrangling over familiar and well-worn issues.

There was no indication just how ar the American delegation to the Jnlted Nations has gone toward drawing up a plan for a permanent U. N. boundary commission. But authoritative sources said it was under consideration. An American delegation spokes- man said the President's proposals' to aid Greece would not conflict in any way with the efforts of the U.

The Stoeger Cougar is a great gun for the money.
So the search for an affordable .45 begins and wanted to see other people thoughts on the ones I chose? I am looking at the Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact Pro, Taurus Millennium Pro, or the Stoeger Cougar. Looking to stay around $600 or less. I haven't shot any of these or even held them but I chose these from reviews. Thanks for the help.
The Stoeger Cougar is a great gun for the money.
I absolutely love my XD-45 Tactical. It shoots accurately and has barely any recoil. It feeds everything I give it without a hiccup. I have mine fitted with a 200 lumen Surefire LED, as it is my bedside gun. You should be able to get it for less than $600.
Stoeger Cougar and Beretta PX4 Storm are great guns.
Another you might want to look into is the EAA Witness.
Here's my Witness in 9mm, but the .45 looks the same.
Buds Gun Shop has them on sale in .45 acp and includes a .22 LR Conversion kit for $509
Mine has been a great gun.
I encountered a lightly used 9mm and a 40 S&W Beretta Cougar for $430 each last weekend at my local gun store. I think I might of made a big mistake by fondling but not buying them. Looked like they had never been fired. Mint condition blueing, nice walnut grips, slide to rail fit smooth as greased glass. Ya I think I just bummed myself out. Crap. Get the Cougar Tomex.
Very nice Witness dondavis. If I ever find one with the safety on the RH side I am in trouble. Rumor has it they exist but I have yet to find one.
+1 Tuefelhunden
thank you - it is a good shooter.
By the way I'm a lefty too.
I just ordered a ambi safety from them and it was easy to install.
Slide right in.
With $600 to spend, I'd go with an XD45 Compact, or a Glock 30. Either will most likely be completely reliable, straight out of the box, and will shoot accurately.
Of the three you mentioned, I know nothing, but I would immediately eliminate the Taurus, because I don't personally trust them for self defense. The Bersa and Stoeger Cougar seem to be fairly well thought of, with the Cougar maybe having the edge in .45.
The current Bersa UC45 Pro is a compact, all metal .45 with dovetail Sig Sights and a polygonal barrel. Very good shooting pistols, and available for less than $400. Also, excellent customer service is available. So, you could spend that extra $200 on ammo, gear, training ...
There are also a number of decent 1911's in your price range. Enjoy the search!
Glock makes 3 or 4 versions in .45, including a single stack model for carry concealed. Reliablity is good; the pricing is very good.
From the choices that you listed, I would ONLY be interested in the cougar. As someone mentioned before, The PX4 would also be a solid choice for you, fits the price range and is very similar to the cougar. Of course, there are plenty of good .45's to choose from and there are many available new/used for less than $600.

please delete duplicate
Not on your list,but a great gun-Smith & Wesson M&P 45-also has 3 sizes to choose from.
The Stoeger Cougar 8045 is the best value on the market today. For $419 NIB (which is what they sell for at my local shop) you are getting a Beretta proven designed , made on Beretta machinery, under Beretta supervision handgun. When it was made in Italy (in the 1990's) they sold for close to $700. To buy that same exact handgun in today's market for a little over $400 NIB is an incredible steal.
They are dead nuts reliable, very very accurate, have an excellent "out of the box" trigger & very soft recoil.
I have never had any malfunction of any kind on either my Stoeger 8000 or 8045. I have fired close to 5000 rds of varying ammo without so much as a hiccup between the two.
I own other "Big brand name handguns" , the Stoegers are every bit as well made for a LOT less.
Thanks for all the input, I was kinda leaning towards the stoeger. I've read many reviews saying its a great gun. Think I'll get this one with my tax return and maybe buy the XD later.
A CZ97 in black can be had for under $600 with a bit of looking. I'm seriously thinking of getting a blue one myself. If it's anywhere near as good as the 75, it's a great gun.
Have you ruled out a 1911? There are a few available in your price range as well. Springfiel GI or Milspec will make the cut. Rock Island Armory 1911s get good reviews, they are definitely worth a look.

Opposition to the Syrian Opposition: Against the Syrian National Council
First, let us be clear. The Syrian people have every right to protest, peacefully and violently, against the brutal regime. But let us be clear; the Syrian regime has no right to stay in power, and this was true even before it began using violence to quell the uprising. And let us be clear; the Syrian regime is incapable of reforming itself.
It is rather foolish to wait for a group to ascend to power before criticizing it. There was no mystery as to the intentions and agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood or the Salafis or even the Khomeini movement, before their taking the reigns of power. Similarly, the adversaries of the Ba'ath Party began opposing it long before the former began conspiring to seize power by force. Today, it is imperative that an opposition to the Syrian National Council (SNC) begins (and to the power behind it and underneath it) before they get a chance to rule Syria. This North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-supported movement does not really differ from the NATO-supported movement that served as a tool of NATO in Libya. The writing was on the wall before the Qaddafi regime fell, and those who supported NATO intervention in Libya are now trying—á la Thomas Friedman after he supported the Iraq war in 2003—to rewrite their own political history and to deny that they really had supported the NATO military intervention.
The opposition to the SNC can be predicated on several factors, primarily relating to matters of credibility, consistency, and honesty. The SNC has already lied to the Syrian people repeatedly. There are many examples that can be summarized below.
- The SNC started as a movement that strictly adhered to nonviolent struggle and now it has a military council to coordinate the violent overthrow of the regime by force (and this without in any way detracting from the right of the Syrian people—and all other Arab people—to overthrow it by any means necessary the regime under which they live and suffer). Worse, the SNC now wants violence to be done by Syrians and by whoever else (Israelis too?) interested in overthrowing the regime.
- The SNC first categorically rejected any political preferences in the Lebanese political conflict. Burhan Ghalyun famously said: keep us out of your conflicts in Lebanon. Now, the SNC is a close ally of the March 14 Movement, and it has issued political statements in support of this Hariri movement.
- The SNC said it strictly opposed foreign intervention while it now begs for foreign intervention from any side—preferably allies of the United States and Israel.
- The SNC leadership said on a few occasions that the percentage of the Ikhwan in the SNC is no more than twenty percent. Yet, Ghalyun in several private meetings (including an off-the-record session with an Arab journalist) complained about Ikhwan domination of the SNC and said that he would not agree to serve as another Mahmud Jibril.
- The SNC rightly criticized the regime's stance on the Arab-Israeli conflict and on the Golan Heights while they have basically maintained the very stance of the regime, which is to wait for the Golan to return, all by itself, to Syria's lap, and to call for negotiations as the way to liberate the Golan. The SNC adopted the Ba'athist government's position before it even had a chance to establish its government. Moreover, the SNC went further and began an unprecedented (for Syrians that is) path of flirtation with Israel. Even after the revelation of Basma Qudmani's humiliating performance on French television (and after she lied and claimed that it was fabricated—this was after the entire session was found and made available on the internet), the SNC stayed silent.
- The SNC claimed that it would not serve as a tool for outsiders and said that it will only answer to the Syrian people but it has now become a tool of Saudi and Qatari ruling dynasties, among others.
- The SNC rightly criticized the corruption of the Syrian regime but it has failed to share with the Syrian public information about its funding and how it keeps its books. Ghalyun and others timidly talk about funding from "wealthy Syrians," while other SNC members conceded that some funding from Gulf countries arrived (but they complained about the small amounts).
- The SNC claims to work for a democratic Syria; yet its sponsors in Doha and Riyadh can hardly serve as democratic mentors.
- The SNC claims to offer the Syrian people a vision of a "civil state" (an empty term that is intended to appease both the secularists and the Islamists while it carries no concrete political meaning). Yet SNC Ikhwan and Saudi allies can hardly inspire confidence in that promise. The SNC wants to have it both ways. It very much reminds one of the empty promises of Khomeini before he established his clerical government. Yet this civic-minded council does not speak against its ally, the Free Syrian Army, and against its tendency to endow its battalions with religious and sectarian names.
- The SNC rightly condemns the war crimes by the Syrian regime but it has been silent about war crimes by the Free Syrian Army (as enumerated in the recent UN report on violations of human rights in Syria).
- The SNC first urged for the dispatch of the Arab League's monitors and then it went against it when the report did not serve its interests and the interests of its sponsors.
- The SNC promises democracy and political transition of power and yet failed to establish such a mechanism for its own leadership. There are various (funny) accounts of the leadership meeting that allowed Burhan Ghalyun (under threats of resignation) to serve for another term.
- The SNC has been ineffective at best and an accomplice at worst in the sectarian killings in areas under the rule of its allies.
- The SNC speaks of democracy. Yet it has already engaged in practices that are rather anti-democratic and bode ill for the future of Syria if the SNC is allowed to take over the government in Damascus. It is not forgotten that SNC goons (and the SNC has goons just like the regime) attacked Syrian opposition figures who live and suffer in Syria when they visited Cairo to meet with the secretary general of the Arab League. The SNC also engages in Ba'thist style takhwin (declaring all opponents as traitors). The SNC could not even reach an agreement with the Coordinating Committees who represent the internal opposition in Syria. In fact, Ghalyun signed an agreement with Haytham Al-Manna of the coordinating committees, only to rescind his signature a few days later when the Ikhwan protested.
But the SNC is not the entire Syrian opposition. Though it is asking for the right to become officially and internationally the "sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people" and some protesters in Syria agree. The Assad regime seems to be adept at ruthlessly rooting out the leftist opposition inside Syria (like the Communist Action Party), killing their leaders and arresting or killing their members. The assassination by a regime goon of Husayn 'Uwaydat is only one example. Many leftist cadres sit in Syrian jails and they could have been effective in organizing the Syrian people along lines different from the agenda of the SNC. The cause of the Syrian people and their legitimate movement against the Asad dynasty is too important to be hijacked by any movement (domestic or foreign, although the SNC leadership is comprised mostly of people in exile).
For some reason (or for several reasons, and one of them is Zionist), people in the West—including in the progressive academic community—are very reluctant to criticize the SNC or even the Ikhwan. Worse, there are some in that community who want to convince us that Syrian opposition is entirely run by "progressives." People's choices (though whether the SNC is actually the product of such choices has yet to be proven) are not always progressive or desirable. Khomeini had mass support and the left was and is obliged to go after the Khomeini movement. There are Khomeini wanna-bes in the Syrian uprising, and they should be opposed before they do more harm to the cause of the Syrian people. Moreover, there is an attempt by liberal Zionists to promote the SNC and its cause (just as they promoted the Iraqi National Congress and its cause) as a manifestation of a leftist-liberal movement (of course, Ahmad Chalabi is now reduced to ride on the coattails of Muqtada al-Sadr, of all people). It is no coincidence that the Likudnik Senator John McCain—who was the Godfather of the Iraqi National Congress—is now serving as the Godfather of the SNC.
There is war in Syria. And the Syrian people are now left to be victims, but also bystanders. The SNC and its allies have allowed the Syrian cause to become an agenda in the foreign policies of such reactionary regimes as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. The United States and Israel are now engaged in a war that has nothing to do with the aspirations and desires of the Syrian people. The SNC is now on the side of the United States and Israel in their plots against Syria (Syria the country and not the regime) and they have in the past had no problem in doing business with that regime during and after the Hamah massacre of 1982. In this conflict, progressives can't sit on the sidelines, and they certainly cannot join the joint US-Israeli project. They have to stand opposed to the regime and to the Israeli/US/Saudi plot—that is the obligation for the sake of the Syrian people and not for the sake of those who speak on their behalf, for purposes that are related neither to democracy nor to freedom.
10 comments for "Opposition to the Syrian Opposition: Against the Syrian National Council"
Well, as an Israeli citizen, I sincerely want to ask you, the "talkback"ers, 2 questions: 1) I really do not see any israeli plot against Syria, and rather the opposite: too many Israelis are afraid of the next syrian regime, as they do not realy care about the slaughtered. 2) Why are negotiations about the Golan are bad in their view? isn't it a peacefull way?
I hope you can help me understand those view, or oppose it. Thank you
My critical comments have been banned here, but still I would like to say that I agree with the article on 90%, and the 10% of disagreement is NOT about the role of the SNC and its whitewashers and supporters from the "left".
If the usual authors of the Jadaliyya are unable to say it by themselve, it is good that they at least gave a turn to speak to some else, who, like As'ad could call spade a spade and SNC - a tool of NATO/GCC/Zionists.
If the Syrian people have "every right to protest, peacefully and violently" then what are they supposed to do when they and their families are murdered in their beds? Are they supposed to miraculously constitute an ideologically pure popular force which, unlike all other popular movements, including the Palestinian movement, requires no international support? Let them evolve their own opposition and stop stamping on their right to overthrow, not just protest, an unfair, diabolical government.
From its tenor, it seems this article has been written in haste. I am sympathetic to As'ad Abukhalil's criticisms and think they are legitimate. What I take issue with is criticism that is unmoored from suggestions of alternatives. The SNC has engaged in a number of problematic practices and has formed alliances that need to be critiqued. But it has also done so in (again hasty) reaction to an evolving, extremely difficult situation. Without going into tremendous detail, as an example, the FSA is not the Libyan army, in that they are actually trained soldiers who know how to fire weapons. They lack the kind of heavy artillery the Syrian army has. The Russians keep providing arms the Syrian army. The FSA is being pushed back continually. Meanwhile, people are being slaughtered by the Syrian army. Enter Saudi Arabia with its promise of arms. How do you think the SNC will react to such an offer? I am sorry but it is a little easy for us to be sitting here being sanctimonious in this situation. Second, there is no such thing as a "Saudi/US/Israeli" plot. Each party has its own interests and motivations. There are people on all sides who are trying to get different actors' strategic interests to align, and they are communicating accordingly. The latest example (in the United States) being how toppling Assad will be a strategic setback for Iran from the pro-intervention camp. Leaving all this aside, my main point to As'ad and our friends here is when we critique these things, for the sake of our own legitimacy, we need to provide credible, alternative strategies that take into account the interests and motivations of different actors, instead of sitting here and fuming, which is exasperating to watch and read.
Let's be clear that none of the SNC can bring 10 protesters, the movement in Syria started from the very poor part of each city and I am sure NSC group never been there or has the courage to go there.(Bourjwazia does not eat from dirty dish). We can not forget that many of SNC member call on the division between Sunny and Alawi's, meaning let us destroy the country no matter what. Not only the Asad regime rooting the leftist, SNC does the same by calling on the Communist Action Party as a goon of the regime.
Excellent read!! I agree with most of what you said.. But I strongly disagree with this statement;
"First, let us be clear: the Syrian people have every right to protest, peacefully and violently, against the brutal regime. And let us be clear: the Syrian regime has no right to stay in power, and this was true even before it began using violence to quell the uprising. And let us be clear: the Syrian regime is incapable of reforming itself."
**The Syrian people have no right to protest violently. This would against the law and against the interest of the Syrian people themselves- as violence leads to more violence!! **The Syrian regime has a wide base of support, being against the regime should not discount this fact!! It is true the constitution had to be changed for Bashar al Assad to become the President (in the US the Bush Family did the same, only through wealth and influence)! However, Syria has been currently, under attack and foreign intervention!! In a war, the last thing a country needs is for its President to step down!!
I believe the opposition is not organized and all opposition groups are not together with common agenda. This is perhaps the largest challenge the opposition is facing. Deflecting from what they said before is common to all political groups. Thats what politics is all about to face the current scenario on its merits. What Syria lacks is unity among the opposiiton groups whose leaders are working their own agendas as they are living is relative safety away from the real action. While the poor sympathisers are being massacred inside Syria in their drones each day. Syrian opposition groups should come forward formally and make a Common Minimum Programme (CMP) that all groups agree on. Once this is achieved there will be credible institution that will spear head the opposition movement and there will also emerge a leader or leadership council. Till this is achieved no body can effectively help Syrian aspirations. Please correct me if I am wrong.
1) FSA and SNC are TOOLS of NATO/GCC/Zionist plots, not just "engaged in a number of problematic practices and has formed alliances that need to be critiqued". They are sectarian murderers. 2) Yes, NATO, GCC and Zionists have different reasons to ruin Syria, but it does not meant they could not plot it together. Usually plots are formed by different parites with one common goal, even though with different reasons. 3) the majority of Zionists usually have NO word in what big wig Zionist doing. Their role is serve as a cannon fodder for Zionist crimes and support them. So, Itmar has NO idea of what the big wig Zionists like Liberman and others are doing, not that Itmar could and would made any difference 4) "Talks" with Zionists about Julan mean or nothing or worser - like talks with Palestinians.Settler colonialist Zionists are NOT going to return the land they had robbed from the natives. Even with Egypt their "concessions" mean but semi-colonial status. No wonder that Egyptians want to end this colonial "treaty" with Zionists. Only the end of Zionist colonial project will bring peace and justice to the ME.
Then, what is all this about? These Saud's and Gatar's money, these secret agents, these gangs who are attacking Syrian army? I don't see but the Ikhwan's gangs, AlQaida's CIA, and many wolves from many directions who bite here or there the Syria, our homeland.
Who rules Syria and who takes over is not relevant when wholesale massacres, rapes of women and children, are taking place. This is a government with a long history of tyranny and bloodshed. It is illegitimate by all standards of justice. The masses have been oppressed (loss of lives, homes), and they have a right to defend themselves (confirmed in the Quran--Al Mumtahinah, Al Tawbah, Fussilat, and Al Shura). This government has transgressed all bounds (Al Shura), and it is therefore imperative that fellow Muslim nations intervene to stop the bloodshed (Al Hujurat). The outsider (NATO) should not be party to this. It is not their affair. They have done enough harm to the region with their interventions. Whether the Muslim governments that intervene are flawed is not the issue. The issue is saving lives. The choice of government can come later by mutual consultation (Al Shura). When the victim is bleeding, you stop the bleeding before you decide on a course of action like surgery or the long-term treatment and prognosis. Remove the tyrants and the Alawite dominated military, who are clearly not God-fearing people. If they were God-fearing, they would not be murdering their people in such a brutal manner. Once the situation is under control, then the Syrian people can decide on a government. At this point, stopping the bloodshed and injustices should be the focus. All that money spent on weapons purchases and military training by the governments of the Islamic World, and they can't figure out how to use them except on murdering and oppressing their own people? Shame on all of them! "The Believers are but a single Brotherhood, so make peace and reconciliation between your two brothers" (Al Hujurat 49:9).

More than 2,200 Auburn University students took part in this year's BIG Event, a day of service that has become an Auburn tradition as students give back to the surrounding community.
Teams of students visited 168 job sites including Opelika Municipal Park, Loachapoka High School, Magnolia Place Assisted Living facility and other homes, businesses, churches and schools to perform a variety of tasks like landscaping, painting and pressure-washing.
"This year's BIG Event, with the slogan of 'One BIG family, One BIG difference, One BIG Event,' is all about connecting the Auburn community," said James Prewitt, assistant executive director of the BIG Event. "The BIG Event is an amazing opportunity to show the people of the community how Auburn students appreciate them for allowing us to call Auburn home."
Event organizers said the work students complete in a few hours on a Saturday morning leads to lasting relationships between students and their surrounding community.
Auburn SGA's BIG Event is a student-run volunteer day which encourages college students and faculty to thank the community for providing a thriving environment in which to live and learn. The BIG Event originally began at Texas A&M in 1982 and has since expanded to 75 other schools, including Auburn.

More Taxi Cabs for SF
More taxicabs are on the way to San Francisco after a recent study found a shortage of cabbies in the city. In a plan approved yesterday, the SFMTA will put 120 taxis into service this year and 200 next year. More cabs will be added annually to raise the current fleet of 1600 to 2300. Some taxi drivers are concerned the influx and competition from ride-sharing groups could result in a smaller take-home pay.

Driver response time of queuing vehicles at urban signalized intersections
Yang, Shuai & Chung, Edward (2013) Driver response time of queuing vehicles at urban signalized intersections. In Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, Elsevier, Changsha, China., pp. 169-177.
Accepted Version
(PDF 692kB)
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Driver response (reaction) time (tr) of the second queuing vehicle is generally longer than other vehicles at signalized intersections. Though this phenomenon was revealed in 1972, the above factor is still ignored in conventional departure models. This paper highlights the need for quantitative measurements and analysis of queuing vehicle performance in spontaneous discharge pattern because it can improve microsimulation. Video recording from major cities in Australia plus twenty two sets of vehicle trajectories extracted from the Next Generation Simulation (NGSIM) Peachtree Street Dataset have been analyzed to better understand queuing vehicle performance in the discharge process. Findings from this research will alleviate driver response time and also can be used for the calibration of the microscopic traffic simulation model.

Cruise control on 2012 S 5 speed
Is it even possible to add cruise control to @012 Focus S 5 speed manual?
I have mind from the factory for my 2013 5MT so I don't see why not
Here's a previous thread with some info
and here's another
TL;DR it looks like you can get a new OEM steering wheel (might not work with the S) or go with one of a few aftermarket companies. Expect to pay ~$3-400. Had an aftermarket kit put on my jeep in 2005 and it was around $400 installed and doesn't work anymore.
I researched this too because I initially bought a SE w/o cruise and didn't realize it 'till I drove off the lot. Good thing they have a 7 day return policy!
Get the original equipment cruise or none at all. Cruise is to important/dangerous to buy some aftermarket thing.

Discovery Science Examines The Road To The Future With Designing Nature
Designing Nature Starting 6th January 2013, Every Sunday at 9:00 P.M
New Delhi, 27 December 2012: Discovery Science, the 24-hour channel available in Hindi and English, presents an insightful anthology, DESIGNING NATURE, comprising of two groundbreaking series – ECOPOLIS and ECO-TECH. The series offer revolutionary concepts and cutting edge technologies that might hold the key to reversing environmental destruction.
DESIGNING NATURE will air every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. starting January 6 only on Discovery Science.
ECOPOLIS is not a real city but is a realistic vision of what our cities might look like by the year 2050. The series provides an in-depth analysis of the possible problems in the future megacities which might be dirty, polluted, running out of food, water and fuel, and prone to blackouts. ECOPOLIS is hosted by Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Daniel Kammen who investigates the threats and evaluates merits of the model to the future city and shares his views on how to reduce the carbon footprint.
ECO-TECH presents the research undertaken by scientists, chemists, biologists, geologists, engineers, and other visionaries that will transform all of our lives – how we power our vehicles, build our homes and offices, generate energy, manage our waste, and cope with increasingly extreme weather. For decades, scientists have been steadily gathering evidence that mankind's current way of life cannot be sustained much longer. ECO-TECH showcases amazing solutions that some of the best minds have come up with and also "how and why" these technologies work.
Rahul Johri, Senior Vice President and General Manager – South Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, "Discovery Science offers thought-provoking insights into the impact of science and technology on our daily lives. Designing Nature will give viewers an interesting look at many breakthrough technologies that could transform our cities."
Find out about the revolutionary technologies – from atomizing garbage at extreme temperatures and utilizing the resulting gases as fuel, to harnessing photovoltaic solar energy, to green fuel revolution in DESIGNING NATURE on Discovery Science.
Discovery Science is available on both analogue and DTH platforms including Tata Sky, Dish TV, Videocon D2H and Airtel Digital TV.
