"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." -from THE BIBLE: I John 4:7-11

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep safe both of your sons, Alouette.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
Thank you Elf, what a beautiful story.

Thanks, lauren, for the pictures of our military men and women at work. I like the landing Sea Knight.

Ok...smartypants Wolfie! Impersonating Santa is a Big Offense - unless you dispense toys and candy to all the children.
Obviously, that is not your plan.... So, I have just activated the E.I.B.
You are history!!
The Mission of the EIB
The Elves in Black were commissioned at the beginning of Christmas to protect the Spirit of Christmas, Santa and all the Elves. Armed with our elfen intellect, tools, charm, and good looks we defend the Spirit of Christmas, Santa and all the Elves against naysayers, Grinches, Heat Mizers, Scrooges, Wolfies and here lately, pure commercialism. We are sworn to secrecy and must abide by the EIB code to be unseen and not abuse our elven gifts.
E.I.B Elves are stealthy and quick! You may not even have time to read this...{heh} {heh}.
Yes, Santa. The Big Bad won't be bothering us no more. Once they use that flasher deal...he probably will be one of our newest Elves! Tee hee...one with a tail!!

New Zealand Troops Help Clean Up Diesel Spill
This spill from the crashed tanker truck in the Bamian River had the potential to be disastrous because the river is the main source of water for the entire valley.
By Staff Sergeant Tim Rowe New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team
BAMIAN, Afghanistan, Dec. 8, 2005 The New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team recently helped to contain an environmental disaster that occurred when a fully loaded diesel tanker truck crashed into the main river of Bamian Province.
The civilian tanker went off the road about 16 kilometers east of Bamian city and slowly began discharging an estimated 15,000 liters of diesel directly into the river.
No one was hurt in the accident, but an environmental disaster threatened as the main diesel tank was ruptured. The provincial reconstruction team quickly dispatched its quick reaction force to the scene of the accident, but they were unable to right the tanker or significantly reduce the flow of diesel escaping into the river.
By chance, there was a group of U.S. Defense Department employees in the area with some expertise in managing environmental disaster. They were able to advise on how to minimize the damage. Heidi Crowe, Laurie Wright, Adam Fitzhugh and Jerry Booker were conducting a veterinary study in the region and came to the aid of the provincial reconstruction team.
A second team of New Zealand soldiers was dispatched to the site, and together with the Americans, they were able to reduce the potential damage by applying detergent to a large pool of diesel that had still not found its way into the river.
Thanks ma!
BTW my visitor is back.
LOL! He's no dummy. Have you been able to medicate his leg? How's feeding going? AFN News says it is COLD where you are. Still thinking? Out working?
Nah he ran back out again after he ate a little. I got a look at it though and it's got a pretty good scab on it.
Very cold here. 21 outside.
Actually I'm beginning to toss stuff out and prepping to pack!
Aren't you proud?
