In 2003, the war in Iraq created profound divsions among the Europeans. There was talk of 'new' and 'old' Europe and jokes circulated about the possibility of the EU ever managing to come up with a common foreign and security policy. Instead, at the end of that year, on the initiative of the High Representative, Javier Solana, the Thessaloniki European Council approved a strategic document of great political impact : "A secure Europe in a better world". That success paved the way for further progress on the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and European security and defence policy (ESDP) and ultimately for the Lisbon Treaty.
The current situation brings to mind 2003. Today, Europe is again uncertain and divided. Even though the United States has not pursued the same divisive policy it did then, in reality its political message to the Arab and Islamic world has only made Europe's delay in working out a position more evident. The ability to leave the divisions behind and approve a new and profound strategic synthesis has been lacking.
The guidelines of the strategy
The problem is to devise a new European policy towards the Middle East and the Mediterranean the can support the process of democratization of the Arab countries. This means forgetting about trying to defend stability for stability sake and opening up more to the culture and politics of the region. Europe needs a new common long-term vision that combines change and security.
Real and full democratization of Middle Eastern and North African countries is still uncertain and a long way off, but it will require a step by step process of modernization of the Arab countries that will involve finding Islamic models that are compatible with it. Modernization is not a guarantee of democracy, but it is an essential prerequisite. Achieving the final objective will call for stages of economic, social and cultural transformations that have only just begun.
Nothing will be possible without an adequate rate of economic development, able to offer the huge numbers of young people credible prospects for growth and the satisfaction of their needs. This will also call for a better income redistribution and greater individual and collective freedom of initiative : these will have to be among the premises for democracy and the aims of the modernization of the state.
It would be futile, however, to think that Europe can assist these transformations and give up defending stability per se if it does not deal with the problem of an adequate overall regional security framework, that is, unless these countries enter into a number of concrete security initiatives with the EU for the defence of reciprocal fundamental interests.
In doing so, the EU will have to accept the presence of other actors, external to the Mediterranean. The extent of globalization makes it imperative that political consultation be open to other powers, above all the United States, but also China and other emerging powers.
Such a dialogue will have to be global and multilateral, but in order to avoid crisscrossed vetoes and to take account of the varying levels of political development of the different countries, it may have to proceed bilaterally, with the countries most interested and reactive. It will in any case have to be backed by closer relations between the European Union and other multilateral entities such as the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the African Union, the Islamic Conference, etc. Important progress could also be achieved by making the 5+5 initiative more comprehensive (that is by enlarging it to Greece, Egypt and Turkey) and through closer partnership with the GCC.
Where to start : shattered illusions
The Europeans were convinced that with the end of the Cold War, the Mediterranean had become a family affair. The shared political framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) is a reflection of this conviction. They thought that the EMP would contribute to resolving regional conflicts, including the Arab-Israeli conflict. But they were wrong : the EMP did not achieve the expected results, while changes took place that put the Barcelona Process itself into question.
The Barcelona Process did not succeed in contributing to the resolution of the Israelo-Palestinian conflict, even if the growing perception in Europe of the threat posed by Islamic extremism brought the security objectives of the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean closer together. The countries of the south made it possible, among other things, to contain immigration towards EU countries. In return, however, the EMP's objectives of democratization were set aside, and the policy of unconditional support for the stability of the Arab regimes, however authoritarian, prevailed.
First the war in Iraq and then Iran's nuclear ambitions, combined with the unresolved situation in Afghanistan and the risk of crisis in Pakistan shifted the attention to the southern shores eastward, to regions in which Europe has much less influence. The massive arrival of China and the United States in Africa opened another door to the sea that is no longer nostrum - all the more so because China, India and Japan are among the biggest buyers of Gulf (including Iran) and African oil and gas. While the piracy linked to the Somali crisis has reduced traffic through the Suez Channel, the traffic from the Atlantic via Morocco and the new port of Tangiers has increased enormously. Finally, French and German opposition, along with divisions over the Cyprus question, have delayed and perhaps blocked Turkey's EU adhesion process for good, increasing the distance between the European Union and the Islamic world and the Middle East.
In the second half of the 2000s, the Europeans let the Barcelona Process wane and become distorted. But the stability in which they thought they could continue to live undisturbed has been overwhelmed by the dramatic and unexpected political awakening of the Arab peoples. Many European governments initially saw it as a threat. When that position became untenable, with a sudden turnaround, they embraced the revolution in Libya to the point of military engagement.
Yet, this choice merely reflects the initial confusion : it was the result of improvisation. It does not herald a new common European strategy (many do not agree with the intervention), but was simply an attempt to make up for previous errors with a beau geste.
Europe's first unitary reaction was to hold an extraordinary EU summit on March 11. It discussed a confused and underfinanced 'Partnership for democracy and shared prosperity', which sealed the death of the old Euro-Mediterranean policy and the Union for the Mediterranean, but did not set out any clear strategic ambition. The idea seems to be to extend the bilateral approach of the Neighbourhood Policy to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, adding a dash of democratic rhetoric. If that is the case, Europe - even though it has the most to lose - is destined to be dragged along by the initiatives of others.
It is sad to think that these quasi-decisions are the outcome of the first major test of Europe's External Action Service, the new decision-making mechanism for foreign, security and defence policy. The crises have been dealt with through unilateral initiatives and special contact groups, shortcircuiting the European multilateral mechanism. Even in the field of security and defence, there has been uncoordinated and polemic management of the refugee and immigrant question, as well as the reemergence of the idea of an even smaller 'directoire' on defence, mitigated (but not eliminated) only by the fact that NATO was entrusted with command of the operations in Libya.
Where are we : new coalitions and new political spaces
The crisis of the Arab regimes opens up new prospects. New governments could enjoy more legitimacy than the old regimes. The popular protests in Tunisia and Egypt have dealt a heavy blow to the idea that all opposition to the old regimes comes necessarily from radical Islamic fundamentalists. On the contrary, these mass mobilizations have been motivated by economic and social factors as well as the search for individual freedoms.
A new class of young, educated people exists, who are integrated into the global reality through information and communication technologies. The aspirations of these young people are of the democratic and 'western' type. Even if they follow Islam, it is a moderate and modern Islam that has nothing to do with the maximalist caricatures of terrorists and taliban (or with the closed traditionalism of the Saudis).
The killing of Osama Bin Laden marks this phase of weakening of the Salafite terrorist movement, which has not been able to become the real engine of change in the Arab and Islamic world. Nevertheless, various authoritarian governments, from Syria to Algeria, are still using this threat to justify the repression of civil liberties and political freedoms, offering the terrorists new material for propaganda.
Yet, these changes have also brought risks with them. Two should be pointed out. The first is the political evolution in Egypt and perhaps even Jordan. It could change the foreign policy of these countries, in particular with regard to Israel and the Palestinians.
The second is that religious and fundamentalist political movements played a more marked role in the protests in the Mashreq. This could negatively affect the overall picture, even if the flexible and empirical approach shown by the majority of the Muslim Brothers has led them to support the democratization process to date.
The conflict in Libya has brought new political prospects to the fore. Among those who presented Resolution 1973 authorizing the intervention in Libya was the Lebanese government. The intervention was supported by both the GCC and the Arab League. The Gulf Cooperation Council voted in favour unanimously ; in the League, only Syria and Algeria abstained. The resolution also received the support of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, thus of the Muslims in general, not only Arabs.
This is not the first time that Arab countries have participated in peace missions led by the west. But the other crises were not in Arab countries : sub-Saharan Africa, the Balkans and elsewhere. Only in the case of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991 did a large multilateral Arab-western coalition led by the United States intervene against an Arab country. But that was in reaction to the invasion of an Arab country by another Arab country, while in Libya the mission is to fight an Arab government suppressing an internal revolt : a much more sensitive political issue.
It is likely that the Arab interventionism against Qadhafi was determined by the apparently uncontrollable dynamic of the regional crises. The Arab regimes are facing crises of legitimacy, often but not always aggravated by serious socio-economic difficulties, which translate into a pressing demand for freedom. It is this crisis of legitimacy that pushes Arab governments to unite with the west, exactly as happened in 1991.
In 1991, the threat of internal legitimacy crises drove the Arab regimes to participate in both the coalition against Iraq and in the Madrid Conference on the Middle East. In other words, they integrated into the western sphere to avoid the domestic repercussions of their international weakening. Today, the regimes have to deal with a much more direct and serious internal legitimacy crisis. The possibility of cooperating with the west offered by the Libya intervention allows them to broaden their room for manoeuvre. In the future it will be more difficult to deny support to the regimes that are now cooperating with the west against Qadhafi. In the same way, it will be easier for these regimes to negotiate reforms with the west. This is the basic logic behind Arab convergence with the west in this crisis.
The Arab-western coalition that has formed against Libya therefore offers a platform for cooperation that could serve to channel the chaotic developments underway towards agreed and sustainable solutions. For the Arab regimes, it is a matter of recovering credibility in the eyes of the west, even at the price of reforms that have been rejected until now. For western countries, on the other hand, it is a matter of coming up with reasonable solutions to the dilemmas that situations like the one in Bahrein pose.
Where to go : democratization in security
European policy has often put the dogma of 'stability' as its center. Faced with new developments, it has become obvious that it is impossible to reconcile stability with change. The modernization of Arab states and societies will inevitably pass through a phase of more or less accentuated instability. Opposing that change would mean opening up to new strategic errors and missing the opportunity to build a new relationship in the long run.
The question is whether it is possible to favour the necessary change while maintaining an acceptable level of security without incrementing the threats that worry Europe.
A global strategy should be directed contemporaneously at all interlocutors, none excluded. Only such a broad political and strategic approach, backed up by the necessary economic resources and a generous trade approach can ensure a primary role for the European Union in this region.
The EU should propose an open dialogue that emphasizes its interest in assisting the modernization and democratization process, to the point of pursuing policies that discriminate positively in favour of those countries that take the most significant steps. At the same time, a security strategy will have to be drawn up that includes items that are very different from one another :
a. the fight against nuclear proliferation and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with the prospect of regional agreements on transparency, confidence building, arms control and disarmament ;
b. the fight against terrorism and the management of complex regional crises like the one in Somalia, Yemen and the terrorist threat in the Sahara ;
c. the fight against organized crime and its transnational networks, including piracy, drug trafficking and money laundering ;
d. the problem of legal and illegal migration, involving control and management above and beyond simply blocking it, both bilaterally and multilaterally ;
e. containment of Iran's regional designs and dissuasion of its nuclear ambitions, while encouraging Iranian civil society ; but also building a regional security system able to deal with problems of common interest (such as the fight against drug trafficking or Afghanistan) ;
f. a return to the Arab-Israeli peace process and the complex Palestinian question ;
g. ensuring energy security, from the point of view of both continuity of oil and natural gas exports and price stability in the face of financial speculation ;
h. the question of water and its availability to satisfy the needs of the population and of economic development.
It is important to present these items together to give the new security strategy a sense of completeness. However, the various items can be developed sectorally afterwards, depending on the willingness of the individual countries and the opportunities that come up.
It is no longer the time for substantially Euro-centric Euro-Mediterranean policies, based on the illusion of being able to build a politically and economically homogeneous multilateral area dominated by the EU. The Mediterranean, like the Middle East and Africa, has been fully drawn into the process of globalization where the interests and presence of many other powers have also come into play. This calls for a high-profile political approach favouring a dialogue that respects regional realities. As much as possible, it would have to acknowledge the role of regional organizations like the Arab League, African Union or Islamic Conference, to the extent that they are willing to take part in a collaborative strategic approach.
Such a dialogue will also have to include external powers that have strategic interests in the area. This means, above all the United States, but also other powers that are once again showing interest in the Mediterranean or are discovering it, such as Russia, China, etc. Most of these security policies have a global dimension that can be dealt with better at the local level if the larger context is not overlooked.
There will have to be a careful balancing of bilateral and multilateral instruments.
The temptation to play a game of crossed vetoes, as has happened in the past, will be high. As with cooperation and economic development policies, the fact that different countries will show different degrees of interest and engagement has to be accepted.
This strategy should accompany and support the initiatives both for economic and trade partnerships, as well as those backing the modernization and democratization processes in Arab states. The Commission already partly sketched this out at the European Council. Nevertheless, one cannot go without the other, the risk would be to lose credibility and diminish the overall impact.
Turkey will play a particularly important role as it will be the privileged interlocutor of the European strategy and must be fully involved in the policies that ensue. Equal attention will have to be given to Israel, so that the strategy does not appear to sacrifice that country's fundamental security needs.
Where to start : 5+5, GCC, Conference for security
If Europe wants to take up the initiative, it will have to move in both the bilateral and multilateral dimensions. While the bilateral dimension has already been set out to some extent by the proposals for reformulating the Neighbourhood Policy for the Middle Eastern and North African countries, the multilateral dimension is lacking and weighed down by the dual failure of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean.
Instead of imagining a new regional multilateral scheme modelled on the Barcelona Process, sub-regional initiatives might be able to provide new energy and greater scope. They have already demonstrated their vitality and usefulness, for example, the 5+5 initiative and the EU-GCC dialogue. In the former there is the prospect of clear EU leadership, while in the latter the EU will have to adapt to the political initiatives and leadership of the United States.
The 5+5 initiative, launched in Rome in 1990 and finalized in Algiers in 1991, brings together five European countries (France, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain) and five North African countries (Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia). It was originally aimed at encouraging the integration of the Maghreb Union. It includes both a political as well as defence and security dialogue (that started up in 2004) and an interparliamentary dialogue. Suspended after 1991 because of UN sanctions against Libya, it returned to full operation in 2001. In 1994, a similar French-Egyptian initiative (the Mediterranean Forum for dialogue and cooperation) was set up. In 2010, a proposal was put forward to extend the 5+5 to Greece and Egypt and absorb the Forum into it, thus transforming it into a 6+6.
One key to the vitality of this initiative is that it has kept participation balanced between EU countries and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. Thus it has avoided what happened in other Euro-Mediterranean forums because of the progressive enlargement of the European Union, that is, a strong imbalance in the number of participants in favour of the European group. Along this line, one could imagine a European reinforced cooperation among the current members of the 5+5 (or rather 6+6), plus European institutions on the one hand and the Arab League on the other.
Other enlargements should also be considered so as to include Germany, Jordan, the United Kingdom and Turkey in order to strengthen the initiative's political and security and defence dimension.
The Gulf Cooperation Council was set up in 1981 by Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. The agreement to cooperate with the European Union dates back to 1990 when negotiations were opened for a free trade agreement that have never been concluded. In the meantime, however, the dialogue has deepened to include also the political, security and stability dimensions.
The time has come to conclude the free trade agreement positively and to launch a real EU-GCC strategic partnership with a much more explicit and strong political, security and defence dimension. In this case, too, it would be useful to include Turkey as the third participant.
Finally, an initiative should be launched that is open to all countries of the region and all interested external powers : a Permanent Conference on Security and Cooperation.
This is where Europe could present its overall Mediterranean and Middle eastern policy" and periodically verify bilateral and sub-regional progress with the objective, if possible, of furthering it multilaterally. This would not block any sectoral progress and would serve as a frame of reference for the overall cooperation and security reached.

You rehearse the words you want to say over and over, in the shower, in the car, across the table from them at coffee, but you can't quite work up the courage to lay your heart bare, and then the moment is gone. Maybe forever... Well that isn't going to happen to me, not today.
Kiss_My_Glass, you are my best friend, you are more then that; I love you.
I met Kiss in the fall of '97, we were both in University, and she was working full time hours on top of that. We were great friends, but not best friends for a year. And then, we sort of drifted away. In 99, at almost eight months pregnant, Jitteryjoe and I were married. My clearest memory of my wedding day is walking down the isle of the church, trying so hard not to cry - my make up had taken HOURS - I was looking for anything to distract me, and I found it in a smear of make-up on Jit's suit jacket. I busied myself trying to figure out who was here that was short enough to leave the mark. But came up with no names.
Imagine my surprise when Kiss came up to us afterwards. Jit knew she was there the whole time, he had seen her, and hugged her before the wedding (hence the make up on the tux). She had heard from a friend that we were getting married and decided to crash the wedding.
This was the best idea she has EVER had.
Kiss is the one I talk to when I am sad or angry. She is the first person I think of when I have happy news to tell. I have been known to tell her about a positive pregnancy test before my own husband. Kiss and I joke that we are sisters, but we are much more then just sisters. She is a part of me.
We have never successfully fought with each other, though we have tried. She has saved me from myself more times then I can count. Above all, she is always, Always there for me. No matter what the situation, I can count on her. I hold her in my heart in the same way I hold on to my boys. I love her.
If I was into carpet cleaning, Kiss would be my soulmate.
Kiss : I don't have the words to properly explain to you, exactly how much you mean to me. Hallmark has never made a card that covered this emotion, this deeply.

Stu is quoted in the follow-up article as saying he plans to figure out another way to accomplish the same goal and the fight's not over. Complacency is a mistake. The left never sleeps.
Fairfax School Board Chairman Stuart C. Gibson said it was unlikely the board would follow the other localities' lead, but said discussion on the issue would continue.
"I think there are ways that the School Board can provide for the general safety [the safety argument is the new refuge of scoundrels and cowards for all sorts of policy decisions nowadays] of its employees and students without changing state law," Gibson said. "We're not done with this."
Stuart Gibson is my school board member. I sure hope someone conservative and electable steps forward to run against him.
Now I'm assuming that when you said you'd just returned stateside that you were over in the Fields of Athenry. So you're quota of rowdiness must surely now be all used up for 2002. ;^)
Besides, you'll like hearing about my idea to spread the good word of Conservatism and expand the G.O.P. membership.
Send School Board a message
What is going on with our Fairfax County School Board? Ever since Stuart Gibson became chairman, the board has become more partisan, more willing to censor its critics, conducts important business in secret, and strays ever farther from its primary responsibility of teaching our children.
Mr. Gibson, a Justice Department employee, is currently under investigation for improperly releasing citizen tax returns to the media. The alleged release violated IRS guidelines, and seems to have been politically motivated. Excerpt from the Fairfax Journal

This is my last sunflower. It opened yesterday and isn't just leaning toward the sun. It flattens itself at noon to be a plate, just in case the sun should decide to fall. This sweetie says,"I'll
catch you!"
Have been watching bees all afternoon. They're taking turns with this sunflower. One after another. And they each rotate around once counter-clock wise, as if to say -- you humans tell time backwards. It's really only a matter of how much pollen you can carry away from each blossom. I agree.
I love how much this bee looks like its flower no matter which flower it's on!

Hi Mekeel,ReplyDelete
I think I took a picture of the very same bee on a Manitoba sunflower just yesterday. He must be a very busy bee! A good flyer, too! How long do you think the world can keep keep blooming? Can't be long enough for me. How are you? I miss you and think about you SO often.

Anton Howes over at the Adam Smith Institute has kindly supplied a reply to my previous post on the economics of The Hobbit. I hope that we will have many exchanges on the economics of Middle Earth and, hopefully, supply answers to the mysteries of Middle Earth life (please suggest topics which you would like debated below).
In Anton's post he equates my arguments to that of the broken window fallacy, of which he raises a valid point. Destruction does not always create a boom, but when a people have to rebuild their lives from scratch there does tend to be a post-destruction period of economic growth – a recent real-life example is Japan post earthquake/tsunami. I suspect that the destruction of Erebor and Dale by the dragon Smaug would be on a greater scale than Japan, producing a period of growth. By the time that the events with Bilbo occur, enough time has passed for the detrimental effects of such destruction to be negligible.
The most important piece of Anton's post is, in my opinion this:
what actually matters in economics: economic growth and production are only important because they satisfy peoples' demands and values.
Whilst that is theoretically admirable, in any economy there has to be winners and losers. It would, of course, be nice if everyone could win. But if everyone won and got satisfaction then automatically everyone would be a loser and unsatisfied. This is because everyone's goals and values are different from each other and that breeds competition and competition fosters loss and disappointment, but it also means victory and great joy.
Like dragons, it is wise never to laugh at living people as you never know when they're going to have the upper hand.

Nah, I cant concur with that assertion. I'm fairly guaranteed UoM is not that fantastic. I have managed to get a excellent work which you concentrate on to become 'scarce' for non G08 college students. Time for you to return to truth and odor the roses.
Which suggests you can expect to by no means find a way to really do anything at all yourself, since you have outsourced every thing. That will make it not easy to achieve a work wherever you'll have the ability to delegate get the job done to Some others.
four. Be steadfast— Beneath the strain of defiance, mothers and dads often shed their will to enforce superior homework procedures. There exists a temptation for being worn down. Bear in mind In the event the youngster wins and just isn't going to do the homework, it is a long-term decline. Will the fact that a single assignment does not get completed on 1 night time have an impact on a youngster's education and learning?
by far the most profitable people today I'm sure (which rings real everywhere on the planet, in almost any area) are the ones who actually understand how to use the power of leverage. It's nearly impossible to be an extremely superior achiever and very rich if you rely upon the outcomes of your individual attempts.
Look for a metropolis, state, or zip code to find out solar prospective and effect across entire geographic regions. We at present have solar information for portions of 50 states and Washington DC. Find out if we've got you protected.
Consequently is differs who's the person implementing the homework. Also when there is this type of drive for perfection around the assignments which the youngster feels he or she can't be best, it can cause defiance. It is acceptable with the youngster to get a problem Incorrect the moment in awhile. Do not press for perfection.
Which was two decades ago. He performs on what could visit this page be homework throughout course if he has time. Hiss grades haven't dropped due to the fact we stopped the homework. The IEP is your Good friend so utilize it to your Kid's edge.

Diesel exhaust fumes effect people with asthma: StudyDecember 6th, 2007 - 1:15 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 06 (ANI): A new study has found that diesel exhaust fumes have a considerable effect on people suffering from asthma.
The study looked at the effects that diesel exhaust fumes had on 60 people with mild and moderate asthma, who walked along the western end of busy Oxford Street in London, where only diesel- powered taxis and buses are permitted.
The researchers, from Imperial College London, the New Jersey School of Public Health, and other international institutions, found that both during and after a two hour walk along Oxford Street, the test volunteers experienced increased asthmatic symptoms, reduced lung capacity, and inflammation in the lungs.
It took a few hours for these to return to their normal levels.
The same volunteers were then made to walk for two-hour in the traffic-free, western part of London's Hyde Park. The researchers confirmed their results when they found that the volunteers experienced some of the same problems but to a far lesser degree.
This is the first time that an investigation in a real-life setting, has been set up outside of a laboratory, to study whether traffic fumes increases the symptoms of asthma.
Two thirds of people with asthma believe this to be the case, according to Asthma UK.
The researchers believe that diesel exhausts cause problems for people with asthma because of the particulates - minute particles of dust, dirt, soot and smoke - which they release into the air.
Particulates come in different sizes but those of less than 2.5 microns, and the tiniest "ultra fine" ones, can interfere with the respiratory system, because they are so tiny that they can be inhaled deeply into the lungs. Ultra fine particles can also be absorbed in the blood, which may have damaging effects.
The researchers found a correlation between the level of diesel exhaust particulates at street level during the two walks and reductions in lung capacity and increases in lung inflammation in the volunteers.
Diesel engines emit lower concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide than petrol engines, but they can generate over 100 times more particles per distance travelled than similar sized petrol engines, and are major contributors to particulate pollution in the atmosphere. Previous studies have shown that in urban environments, almost 90 per cent of traffic-generated particulate matter is from diesel exhausts.
"Our study illustrates the need to reduce pollution in order to protect people's health, said professor Fan Chung, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London and one of the authors of the study.
For the first time we are able to measure exactly what's happening inside the lungs of people with asthma when they spend only a couple of hours strolling in a real-life polluted area. By observing the effect of pollutant diesel particles on the lung surfaces, we can confirm that such an exposure causes inflammation in the lungs of asthmatic people, he said.
The researchers measured lung function; symptoms; exhaled nitric oxide and condensate from the breath; bronchial reactivity; sputum and blood. They took measurements before, during and after the volunteers' walks.
The study has been published on 6 December in the New England Journal of Medicine. (ANI)

In a widely anticipated national address, President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he will not pull out U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying he's committed to a new strategy aimed at winning the nation's longest war, now in its 17th year. Admitting that his "original instinct was to pull out" of Afghanistan – Trump's core campaign pledge was to reduce US intervention in offshore conflicts – Trump effectively admitted he had been wrong, and said he's arrived at three "fundamental conclusions" about America's core interests in Afghanistan:
- U.S. "must seek an honorable and enduring outcome" in which American troops "deserve a plan for victory"
- The consequences of a rapid exit would be "predictable and unacceptable" adding that "a hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists, including ISIS and al Qaeda, would instantly fill, just as happened before September 11"
- The security threats U.S. faces "are immense"; and "we cannot repeat the mistake in Afghanistan our leaders made in Iraq."
Trump also promised to the soldiers gathered for the speech that "One way or another, these problems will be solved. I am a problem solver. And in the end, we will win."
In other words, Trump is unveiling a dramatic, new offensive in Afghanistan, only instead of giving details on troop deployments, specific dates, or what the definition of victory would be, Trump will keep the details of the new involvement secret, and that "conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables, will guide our strategy from now on."
We will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities. Conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables, will guide our strategy from now on. America's enemies must never know our plans or believe they can wait us out. I will not say when we are going to attack, but attack we will. Another fundamental pillar of our new strategy is the integration of all instruments of American power, diplomatic, economic, and military, toward a successful outcome. Someday, after an effective military effort, perhaps it will be possible to have a political settlement that includes elements of the Taliban and Afghanistan, but nobody knows if or when that will ever happen. America will continue its support for the Afghan government and the Afghan military as they confront the Taliban in the field.
Trump also defined what a victory in Afghanistan would mean:
Our troops will fight to win. We will fight to win. From now on, victory will have a clear definition — attacking our enemies, obliterating ISIS, crushing al Qaeda, preventing the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan, and stopping mass terror attacks against America before they emerge. We will ask our NATO allies and global partners to support our new strategy, with additional troop and funding increases in line with our own. We are confident they will.
President Trump: "From now on, victory will have a clear definition" https://t.co/WWDLK93V4z
— NBC News (@NBCNews) August 22, 2017
Taking a quick detour into domestic politics, Trump said that "the young men and women we sent to fight our wars abroad deserve to return to a country that is not at war with itself at home. We cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at peace with each other."
However it was all about Afghanistan:
Ultimately, it is up to the people of Afghanistan to take ownership of their future, to govern their society, and to achieve an everlasting peace. We are a partner and a friend, but we will not dictate to the Afghan people how to live or how to govern their own complex society. We are not nation building again. We are killing terrorists.
Well, that and Pakistan, which has now been thrown into the terrorist "melting pot" fray:
The next pillar of our new strategy is to change the approach in how to deal with Pakistan. We can no longer be silent about Pakistan's safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond.
Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists. In the past, Pakistan has been a valued partner. Our militaries have worked together against common enemies. The Pakistani people have suffered greatly from terrorism and extremism. We recognize those contributions and those sacrifices, but Pakistan has also sheltered the same organizations that try every single day to kill our people. We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars, at the same time they are housing the same terrorists that we are fighting. But that will have to change. And that will change immediately.
And, in a surprising twist, Trump also brought in India to the mix:
Another critical part of the South Asia strategy or America is to further develop its strategic partnership with India, the world's largest democracy and a key security and economic harbor of the United States. We appreciate India's important contributions to stability in Afghanistan, but India makes billions of dollars in trade with the United States, and we want them to help us more with Afghanistan, especially in the area of economic assistance and development. We are committed to pursuing our shared objectives for peace and security in South Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
Oddly enough, zero mentions of China, almost as if Trump is telegraphing the new US "axis" in South Asia.
Finally, speaking like a polished cog of a well-greased neo-con/military-industrial wheel – note that Lindsay Graham loved every word of tonight's speech – Trump warned "Terrorists, take heed. America will never let up until you are dealt a lasting defeat. Under my administration, many billions of dollars more is being spent on our military. And this includes vast amounts being spent on our nuclear arsenal and missile defense. In every generation we have faced down evil, and we have always prevailed."
In conclusion, Trump may not be able to get approval from Congress to pass his domestic spending agenda, but at least he is about to spend "billions" to continue a war that started 16 years ago and will surely never end, and make shareholders of defense stocks even richer.

|Unlock Forum posting with Annual Membership.
I noticed a few of mine that I know were approved earlier are now missing?
mine disappeared also, and i cant seem to get them back on.
I've been trying to post an image (compressed and resized so it ill meet PBS approval), but I can't get it to come through. Glad it's not just me!!
I'm a noob here and I'm just learning the basics but I KNOW that a couple of my posts have disappeared and I have no idea why. :( There was nothing untoward or controversial about either of the posts but **POOF**, they're gone! Weird.
LeeAnn - when I search the forums using your nickname I find 18 out of 18 post. You might try that to find a post you made and think is lost. That might help.
Jennifer, there is no reason to compress and reduce images for PBS, we can now upload images up to 5MB that's huge for a cover image, even scanned at 300 dpi :) Just reduce your image to 500px tall, and it will be fine, don't worry about the filesize, it will be within the limit.
LeeAnn, if you have a an old post (like over two months) it may disappear as topics drop off and are no longer carried after a certain amount of time. It used to be 45 days, but I think it's been lengthened, but that would be the only reason for a POST to disappear.
Anne & Helen, can you send me the ISBNs of the books that have lost their images for you? I haven't seen any of this, but I may just have not been paying attention lately. It has been questioned of the others on the image team to see if they are noticing any problems with this. If we can get some ISBNs we can send in a feedback to see if the techs can find a problem for it, but I know they will want specific ISBNs that this has happened to.

Today was one of those days I would NOT have gone to church if I didn't have a calling. I was in charge of sharing time so I couldn't skip but can I just tell you I really wanted to. I know it was Satan's influence on me today because I have just been in a huge FUNK! Anyway, this morning the girls were fighting and horrible listeners. I got them ready and then tried to get myself ready. As I'm drying my hair Felicity informs me that Alexia wrote on her head with marker...I go to check it out and she not only wrote on her head but also on her dress. Luckily it was a yellow marker that was easy to wash out (mostly)... and off we go to church. Did I mention Trevor had to go to a morning meeting so no help from him. Then at church the girls were out of control. Felicity was loud and Alexia was EVERYWHERE! I felt like I got a workout just trying to keep them contained during sacrament. Then off to Primary where I was in charge of sharing time...it went good but I really stuggled with the senior primary today. They just were so irreverent....I am sure it was partly my fault...I think I chased the spirit away with the day I was having. Super grouchy mom is back full force today.
Did I mention I ate HORRIBLE today. That didn't help the mood much either. Here is to hoping tomorrow will be better!!!!

Felicity's writing
Felicity has really been trying to spell lately. The other day she brought me this page of writing with gratitude right on the top. I was so proud of her! We learned about gratitude a few weeks ago in our family home evening and she sounded it out and tried to spell it. Some of her words are pretty hard to read but I love trying to figure out what she is writing. I am putting these papers in her memory box. I'm sure when she gets older she will love looking through them.

I am so thankful Fernley got a Lowes and a Walmart the last few years. Today I took the girls to Lowes to build a lobot (a robot and car) Felicity had such a blast working on it and Alexia just ran all over harassing the other kids. They even gave the kids their own goggles and aprons. I think Felicity was as excited about the goggles as she was about the car. I did the assembly but she hammered all the nails in. Felicity loves these type of projects. Lowes does these workshops every other week, I need to be better about getting going on Saturday morning so we can do this more often. Alexia wasn't really into it but that is ok...Felicity had a blast. When the lobot was finished Alexia thought it was a phone...She kept saying "Hi" into it.

Got the computer fixed today!
I called Dell the other day for our laptop and they said I needed to get the motherboard replaced, a new battery, and a new cord. Luckily we purchased the computer with a three year warranty so the only thing I have to buy is the battery...still pretty expensive though. Anyway he came over and Felicity was all over him trying to see him taking the computer apart. I was worried he was going to get annoyed but he was super nice to her. When he was putting the computer back together she even got to hand him the parts. I think he may have been one of the nicest computer guys I've ever met.
OH Yeah, who else LOVED the weather today. 60 degrees out and loving it. We got outside to swing and soak up some sunshine. Just what the doctor ordered after such a long snow. I'm sure winter is not over yet but I am going to enjoy this weather while we have it!

Happy Valentines Day
What a fun busy Valentines day we had today. We got up early (because of Alexia of course) Trevor made breakfast eggs with heart shaped toast for the girls and then we got to work making some sugar cookies. We had grand plans to work on them today but the dough is still chilling in my fridge. Maybe tomorrow night for FHE. Anyway, Treena, Tyler and Keyan (Trevor's sister and family) stopped by about 10 on their way home to Utah. The girls loved seeing little Keyan, especially Alexia. She is pretty over the top when it comes to babies. She LOVES babies...she screams when anyone takes the baby away from her. After Treena and fam left we got ready for church and off we went. The nice thing is this week we were supposed to speak and there was a change of plans and we got out of speaking YEAH, neither of us were in charge of teaching primary or Young Mens. It felt a little bit like a vacation not having tons to do for church. Then we came home ate left over fajitas and got ready for our friends to come over. We invited the Chapman's and the Bostwick's over for pie and had a great time visiting. Once everyone left I told Trevor we will have to make this a regular thing once a month. It was so nice to sit down with friends and just chat about life while the kids played. What a fun Valentines day I had!

Found this video and had to share!
This was Felicity when she was about 4 months older than Alexia. Her answers to the questions are Astronaut and encyclopedia. You have to listen close but it is soooo cute. Don't mind the HUGE mess of a house in the background. I can't believe I taped this without cleaning up! I am much more clean house conscious now...

Got this off my sister's blog and LOVED it!
How Taxes Work
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten
comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something
like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with
the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since
you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the
cost of your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so
the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But
what about the other six men – the paying customers? How could they
divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted
that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man
would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each
man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work
out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued
to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to
compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed
to the tenth man," but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too.
It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!"
"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back
when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat
down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they
discovered something important. They didn't have enough money
between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how
our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the
most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them
for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact,
they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat

A Busy Saturday!
Today was one of those days....Erica and I made rice crispy treats for the primary kids, made pies, made dinner, cleaned up after the kids, laundry, etc... All the while Trevor was working in his office doing drafting for a guy in Fernley. Finally it is 9:30 at night and the kiddies are in bed and I am sitting here resting my feet. Days like this I feel like I did when I was a server at my Mom's restaurant. My feet hurt from being on them so long.
Tonight as I was cleaning the kitchen up I told Felicity to go in my room and pick out her three books (ALWAYS two pooh bear books and one disney book) to read. I finished the kitchen and came in and she was folding the pile of clothes that I was planning on folding last night but ended up at the end of my bed not folded. I couldn't believe it she folded about 6 towels and a bunch of her and Alexia's clothes.
The other day I was being grouchy tired mom and she went in the living room and cleaned the entire thing and there were toys EVERYWHERE!!!! I am just amazed at how much help a little four year old can be.

Nights with Felicity
Felicity has been coming into our bed almost every night over the last month. She will come in say Alexia woke her up and hop into our bed snuggle up to Trevor's back and fall asleep. It is usually early in the morning but she is a mover and hard to sleep in the same bed with. Some nights I bring her back to her room other nights I just let her stay. In her defense Alexia can be loud yelling Mommy over and over again. The other night we were sleeping and Felicity woke me up..she was talking in her sleep. "Animals have flubber that keep them warm in the artic." Then she rolled over and was back asleep. She learned this little fact from a book at preschool. I just giggled and rolled over and fell back asleep. I have loved preschool this year for Felicity and myself. I really enjoy watching the girls interact with each other and see them work out their problems. I am so thankful we are in Fernley at this time so Felicity can have such wonderful friends to play and learn with!

Felicity Hibernating
Felicity learned about hibernating the other day at Preschool so when I moved the chairs out of the kitchen to mop she asked me if we could make a den for her to hibernate. I did and she filled the den up with all of her animals. She has been doing this alot. The other day my entire bed was full of stuffed animals. I HATE stuffed animals because they take up so much space but I can't get rid of them because she does actually play with them, as you can see in the pictures. She had a blast hibernating with her animals while I got to mop the floor and little Alexia was hibernating in her crib (taking a nap).

Reading Books.
The other day I was cleaning the girls room when I realized Felicity and Alexia were being really good in my room while I was trying to get things done. I went to check on them and look what Alexia was doing. The ENTIRE bookshelf was empty, every book on the floor. It took me and Felicity a LONG time to pick all the books up and there is a new rule in the Card house. You are only allowed to take out a couple books at a time and I no longer leave Alexia in my room without me. I have to be honest...she sure had a good time clearing the shelf!!!

Voice of the islands heard as Committee gathers evidence in Orkney
The Leader of Orkney Islands Council has welcomed the opportunity to put the case to MSPs for measures that will make a difference to the lives of people in island communities.
Councillor James Stockan was one of a number of representatives of the Council to take part in an evidence gathering session of the Scottish Parliament's Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee.
The Committee met in public at the Orkney Theatre on Monday evening (2 October) to gather views from local people and organisations as it considers the potential impact of the Scottish Government's Islands (Scotland) Bill.
The Bill has comes about as a direct result of the Our Islands Our Future campaign, which was initiated by the councils in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles.
Representatives of Shetland Islands Council joined their Orkney counterparts in giving evidence on ways to support, develop and protect island communities.
"This was an important stage in the development of the Islands Bill," said Councillor Stockan.
"It meant we could share our knowledge and experience of living and working in the Northern Isles, ensuring that the MSPs on the Committee have a clear understanding of our islands' perspective as they scrutinise the measures contained in the Bill.
"The Bill covers important matters such as a requirement to make sure new policies and legislation do not disadvantage island communities, marine licensing for coastal waters, and the development of a national islands plan.
"Our aim is to make sure that this new legislation has a lasting and positive impact on the lives of people in communities like ours. We welcomed the opportunity to put forward an 'island voice' – and the Committee members' interest in what we had to say."
Evidence was also given by former Convener Councillor Steven Heddle and Council solicitor Paul Maxton.
Councillor Heddle said: "While welcoming the Bill, we feel it could go further to empower the islands by recognising the uniqueness of the Islands Councils, and putting in place enabling powers to allow us to respond innovatively to issues arising from island proofing.
"Those measures combined with a means to enable community benefit from major development in our areas, alongside the Crown Estate revenues from our waters, would ensure the Bill would improve outcomes for our islanders as intended. We were pleased that our arguments were received positively by the committee."
The Shetland representatives at the session were SIC Convener Councillor Malcolm Bell and Chief Executive Mark Boden.
The Committee also undertook a range of fact-finding visits, including meetings at the European Marine Energy Centre and the Birsay Development Trust.
The Council's written submission to the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee is available from the 'Related Downloads' section of this page.
A recording of the Committee's evidence gathering session in Orkney can be found here.

Octagon Shape: Patented, FEA and practical use proven durability, 25 lbs., fits close to buildings, manageable, shippable size 29"wx29"lx18"h, 54 gallon capacity. The vertical lines of this rain barrel enhance both structure and appearance.
Child and Pet Safe:These rain barrels are Child Safe, not just resistant. All outlets are garden hose fittings for ease of use and too small for animals to enter.
3 Color Choices for Rain Barrels: New Mexico Sandstone II, Santa Fe Adobe II, both have stone like specks, and Evergreen. No extra charge for our private blended colors.
Textured Surface: Our custom rain barrel mold was casted to include this feature. This is a more expensive method but it makes the tanks blend in better with stucco & brick. Basically, makes them less noticeable. They are UV stable of course and washable with any mild cleaner.
Stackable: This is a unique rain barrel design feature. You can stack and couple the Doubler Tank with the Standard Tank. This allows you to "double" your capacity with the same "footprint" Standard Tank = 54 gallons + Doubler 54 gallons = 108 gallons and only 36" high, the tanks are 29" wide. This allows you to customize your water collection. Perhaps under one downspout you want two tanks, at another you only need one. Put them where you want a supply of water.
Two Overflow Outlets: Having two overflow outlets allows you to connect to as many tanks as you want. No limits on water collection and is adaptable to your needs. Two overflows can handle most any downpour Mother Nature gives you. No special connecting kit required. The overflow outlets have garden hose threaded fittings and we include 2 hose ends. You supply a piece of garden hose.
Hardware Included: We have figured it out for you. With the Standand Rain Barrel you recieve a brass spigot with teflon tape wrapping the threads (good for watering cans), a Y shut off (great for soaker hoses, regular hoses and gravity drip systems), a plastic screen, two female hose ends, and a cap to seal the second outlet if desired. You use your own pieces of garden hose for the two overflows and to connect barrels at the bottom. Customize your rain barrel set up and overflows so they work for you.
Above Photo: Santa Fe Adobe tanks stacked and placed attractively with a handmade New Mexico rain chain. This lovely home is in Corrales New Mexico and these are only two of the eight rain barrels the owners have arranged around their home. Please Note- though not visible, the center bottom of the tanks are fully supported. Also, the tank featured in this photo is an older model with one outlet (brass spigot); our current models have a second outlet built in which can be connected to overflow tanks or capped depending on your needs.
Factory Installed Spin Welded Fittings: This is the key to leak proof performance. These rain barrels come with a 3 year guarantee against leaks. All fittings have garden hose thread for ease of use.
Large Indented Top: The top of the barrels are designed so that exact downspout connection is not needed. This also allows one to place them under canales (a very SW design). The water can spill most anywhere on top and make it into the tank.
Attractive Enough to Have Indoors: These tanks can be placed next to your washing machine to capture the rinse water. You will get gallons and gallons of water to use again. See page " How to Save Rinse Water".
Rebates: Albuquerque's rebate varies by capacity, and Santa Fe, New Mexico offers a $30 Rain Barrel. Many other cities across the country offer rebates. Ask what your city or water department is doing about rebates for rain barrels. Have them list Arid Solutionsinc.com as a rain barrel source.

hi can anyone tell me, will I be able to connect to other peoples wireless networks, and use the browser on the N80 to view html pages VIA their internet connection?
manuj touchscreens r crap dey r for PDAs not fones. loads of ppl break dere touchscreens nd then they cost loads to replace. They're stupid nd dnt even lk good on fones. and with all the features the n80 has no one cares about some HSCDC or woteva
This phone with windows mobile i will be the first one to buy it as i am nt anti nokia but i really feel symbian series 60 sucks it hangs like hell
nice call...if you'd like to speak on a sony phone, go to the sony posts. This phone, although I wish Nokia would merge and use Windows Mobile 5 OS, is still going to make people drool!
this fone is perfect with every thing
but i dont think the edge facility is fast as i think
hey zesty it dose not hace HSCSD and touch screen is a real cool feature and if u break ur cell then it dose not mean that everyone have a habbit of breaking touchscreen phones
ppl plz go away wit ur sony ericsson, especially those who always compare n80 wit p910 n p990, nobody cares bout the crappy sonyericsson
Can anyone think of a feature this fone hasn't got and other fones hav? except touch screen bt dat ain't very gd coz my last fone da touch screen kept brakin and cost loads to repair
not every phone get that slow in my p910 i have put loads of software, Games, Wallpapers and i have upgraded it with 1 gb memory stick still it works very fast
yep, that and 35 themes + alot of software its way to much, every pc/smartphone/pda have the same problem and its not fixing soon
the more u stuff in2 d memory, d longer it takes to operate, jus like pc ,etc .
zesty buddy i have used 6600 , 6630 and as soon as i add additonal memory or installed few softwares in the phone it started taking ages in operations . I gave u an example in my 6630 i add 35 themes and afer that when i try to open my themes folder in gallery it started taking ages in that. and i just want to tell u that this phone is using the very same processor which 6600 and 6630are using
@den how can you say this phone is hugh its a little bit bigger than a credit card and its a fantastic handset what planet r u from
Hey Mr.USA how do you know it comes out on January 27th? Will that be in the UK? I can't find any other sites which say the N80 is coming out then.. :
omg.. this phone design so ugly... cant believe it's rated 8.7.. thats stupid... too ugly for that... Samsung handphones designs are still the best.. especially D600... this hp too squarish... and its huge...well the functions are quite good... but design is more matter to me..i will never buy and recomend this phone...
Jan Jan 27th its coming out and i think i m getting it on monday to test it. can u belive i m getting it for Free.
The real question anybody that is looking into this phone should consider is, what features are you actually going to use? If you don't have the equipment, are you going to go out and buy the tv, stereo, etc. to go with the UPNP? Given the "average" battery life, are you going to be using the camera alot, same with the WLAN? I'm not saying don't buy the phone (I know, after looking into the features and design of the phone I am interested in buying it), but make sure you buy it for the right reason; otherwise you are going to end up with a really expensive phone, that you only end up using for phone calls (and trust me, you will end up kicking yourself for that).
def. not p990, its way too huge n heavy compare 2 n80, n touchscreen mightnt b a gd thing as it can mess thgs up easily, + the fact dat n80 has a way better cam, c'mon 3mpx, n also i used sonyericsson be4, n they jus cant competit wit nokia. go 4 n80
I still dont know if i should get n80 or p990. my first love is n80 is i think im leaning towards it. but p990 has alot of really good features that n80 doesnt have and vice versa. the only thing that i like about n80 more is its looks,upnp,& 3mp cam.
i just need some advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noah is seven! It's been a fairly anticipated birthday, so we were ready for it (mentally). We got him a new 18" bike. He thinks it's pretty cool. I like how it still has pedal brakes on the back and a hand brake for front brakes. A nice way to introduce hand braking.
What I really wanted to get him was a haircut. I almost hate that his seven year picture will be with this hair, but it will also be fun to laugh at as the years go by, and his kids will LOVE it! So I guess there is a silver lining!
He was thinking a "cowboy" birthday so we were were going to make a star cake and decorate it like a sheriff's badge. But we couldn't find my star cake pan. We looked high and low-literally. Tim looked, I looked, Noah looked, I called both Matt and Mom to see if they had seen it anywhere. No luck. It should have been with the guitar cake pan, but it wasn't. We did have to move my formed cake pans since we are remodeling the pantry where they were stored. Everything went to the basement, or so we thought. Couldn't find it anywhere. I was mad, Noah on the other hand, was very understanding and said that he's rather have the sheriff star cake, but that he really did like guitars and a guitar cake would be great. So guitar cake it was.
I put some effort into decorating it so at least it was a good guitar cake, since it wasn't his first choice and he was being so understanding to my prediciment. (Just watch I'll find the pan this week, sitting out on the counter or something.)
Noah is so compassionate, understanding, and kind. He has such a loving spirit. I so love that kid!
Our challenge for this year of seven is going to be to bring those traits out more often than when he swings the other way. It's a parenting challenge that I don't yet have a solution to, but between Noah and me, working together, I'm sure we'll figure it out-he is amazing!
