An airstike by a Syrian regime fighter jet has killed at least eight children in the town of Moadamiyat al-Sham, southwest of Damascus.

The strategic suburb of Moadamiyat al-Sham is six km far from the president’s palace. Besides, there are several offices of sir Intelligence and special forces, north to this town.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, it had the names of eight children killed when a building hit by the strike collapsed.

One of the activists said that, the raid targeted a building, where more than 25 people are living, including women and children. The activist also confirmed that, the building was targeted with several rockets and that more than 20 dead bodies were lifted, and 18 bodies have been identified, including 8 children and 10 men and women.

Syrian activists from Moadamiyat al-Sham, posted video showed images of the limp body of a boy being pulled out from broken concrete, his back covered in dust and his front in blood.

For it's part, Syria's pro-regime Dunya TV claimed that, the building was a weapon store for terrorist groups. Adding, that 20 terrorists have been killed. Another pro-regime media referring to a security source, said that government forces have freed completely Damascus’s suburb Darayya from terrorists. Adding the terrorist gangs are fleeing from Darayya and are being pursued both by land and air forces.

It is worth mentioning here that, Damascus’s suburb Darayya is an important and strategic suburb for the regime for many reasons, as it is very close to Mazzeh area, home to a military air base, and Kfar Sousseh, where the government headquarters, the General Security intelligence agency head office, the Interior Ministry are located. It is also residence to many military, political leadership, ambassadors and businessmen from the Alawite sect.

In another incident, Turkey’s local TV channel reported that, a shell launched from the Syrian territory has detonated in the Turkish province of Kilis. Adding, the blast left a 5meter wide and 1.5-meter deep hole, in the orchard grounds. No casualties were reported. The channel did not mention if the Turkish forces had responded to this assault as they usually do in previous attacks.

Meanwhile, the Russian government reaffirmed, on Sunday, that it opposes any move to force Assad from power as part of any deal to get talks started on a political settlement.

Assad's ouster would be "impossible to implement," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying by Russian media.

“The demand of the Syrian opposition that it would start talks with Bashar Assad only if he agrees to resign, is a precondition that is now envisaged by the Geneva communique,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov stressed that, the Syrian opposition should better suggest more constructive ideas for talks, like President Assad himself does on his last speech .

Lavrov also reiterated his country's support for political transition in Syria saying that, Syrians themselves should decide about the future of their country without outside interference.

Opinion:

There is nothing new, as long as there is no deterrent to the Syrian regime. For this the regime will continue in his massacres, which always have a justification that the regime had targeted weapons stores for terrorists. Thus these attacks by the regime are not expected to stop, in particular that there is a battle taking place today between FSA and regime forces in areas around Damascus, and according to the media and some activists, the regime loses a lot in such battles.

Syrian regime announced for the fourth time, that Damascus's suburb Darayya is freed from the control of the FSA. At the same time, the regime did not prove even through a short video, that there is no trace of FSA therein. According to the latest information, the regime is carrying out heavy airstrikes on that area since the morning and targeting everything, but on the ground, only the FSA is controlling it.

Lavrov again confirms that he is a defender for the Syrian regime more than Bashar himself. Thus Russia's stance, based on Lavrov's attitude, gives the impression that attacking Damascus, is like attacking Moscow. However, other Russian officials attitude tends to moderation and some of them show that Assad is not important for Russia at all.

The situation on the ground, is still the same. The report of the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, stated that the FSA was last night able to seize many weapons that were hidden in secret stores, in Taftanaz air base. It also reported that, fights are going on between the FSA and the regime forces, in more than 30 sites, outside Damascus.

Finally, the situation in Syria is getting worse, almost no corner of the Syrian territory is now immune to the effects of this raging civil war. Hundreds of thousands have fled their homes in search of the relative safety of refugee camps, across the borders in neighboring countries.

Philippine Business News / The shame of rape
January 15, 2013, 01:04:00 PM
I have noticed throughout my life that despite religions (not simply Christianity) that give lip service to "loving thy neighbor as thyself," people chomp on the underdog. They do. Why? More delicious? That I do not know. The first and easiest answer is that the underdog is weaker, and when there's a pack mentality, the weak and meek, the young and the old are easier to savage.
And people are in a savage mood these days. Deprived globally by a few plutocrats/corporations who'd rather have all the riches of the world than feed the people of that world, city streets are getting meaner, and crimes against those that usually provoke protective instincts are skyrocketing. Why attack women, the mothers, sisters and lovers of the world? Why the particular interest in oppressing women these days? What's to gain?
You might not think it happens that often, but according to the Justice Dept., a woman is raped every two minutes in America. Other studies say that it occurs more frequently.
It seems as though every species of human is at war with somebody or something, even Earth itself. Within families there can be chronic, neurotic battling as a way to let off violent energy, and domestic abuse runs rampant during times of financial stress.
In the city, I've been forced to move to after I lost my home. The windows are barred and there are triple locks on the door. Though my neighborhood is lovely, a charming place with Victorians and Craftsman style homes, I'm told not to venture out at night because "the streets turn vicious." Bring on the pepper spray.
Why rape any human? Is it because that person is so lovely they cannot be resisted? That bit of fiction was actually believed and repeated by a young friend when I mentioned that I'd been at a train station where a woman had been raped later that week: "If you were younger or more attractive, maybe you'd have gotten raped there."
As I gasped at the very first time in my entire life that someone had mentioned that I was, indeed, "maturing," I schooled the lad on the error of his thought.
Attractiveness has nothing to do with the act of rape. Rape is an age-old way of exerting dominance over something, like bagging a gopher when big game hunting, that cannot say "no" to you. Bully for you, guys. Pick on someone your own size.
In India and places on this earth too numerous to mention -- women and children are victims to the rage of men who are not allowed to be men -- or at least educated, useful and balanced men -- by their government or religion. Wicked cycle, that.
In our country, a lack of creative fulfillment in life, hunger, no way to feed your family feed the impulse to take down the smaller creature. All these things, in this climate of hellish violence we encourage in our “society” through the "instruction" of violent video games, movies and eternal warfare, contribute to the cycle of violence. This is an unfortunate part of human nature, but absolutely undeniable.
The sorts of things we are seeing now are spawned by the worst in us, and it's time for a self-check as a nation. Our women are constant victims, and there are congressmen out there who want to deny them the right to handle this great wrong in any way that we see fit.
That this phenomena is occurring on more of a worldwide stage suggests that either the media is letting us all know how many vicious and "legitimate" (bitter laugh) rapes are happening these days, or that more vicious and "legitimate" rapes are occurring.
That we are surprised by gang rapes in India is odd to me. Rape happens in the good old U.S.A. all the time, and few give a damn.

Dear Dra. Holmes:

Goodâ€,morningâ€,po, doc. May itatanong lang po ako, ano po ba ang muscleâ€,control?â€,Pag may ganyan ka po ba na kakayahan na mag-muscle control, hahanap-ha­napin ka po ba ng lalake doc?

-- Lorena



Dear Lorena:

Maraming salamat sa iyong sulat. Kapag ang pinag-uusapan ay sex at ginagamit ang mga salitang “muscle control”, ang pinag-uusapan nila ay ang pubococcygeus muscle (pc muscle) at anong magagawa nito. Ang pc muscle ay nakikita sa babae at lalake at naka-connect sa ating pubic bone hanggang sa ating coccyx (tail bone -- ‘yung buto sa dulo na nararamdaman natin kapag umuupo tayo). Ang pc muscle ang nagkokontrol ng takbo ng ihi natin. Ito rin ang muscle na nagko-contract (parang kumikirot na masarap) kapag tayo ay nakakarating sa langit.

Kapag ginagamit natin ang mga salitang muscle control, hindi natin ibig sabihin na ang pc muscle ay kinokontrol ang ihi natin. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay na ang pc muscle ay makokontrol ng babae para super lakas ang kapit sa ari ng lalake kapag ito ay nasa loob ng ari ng babae. Dahil masikip ang feeling para sa lalake, siyempre enjoy na enjoy siya.

Ayon sa ibang mga na-interview ko, kaya nilang ipa-ejaculate ang lalake sa pamamagitan lang ng muscle control. Pero kahit hindi ito magawa ng babae, mabuti pa rin kung siya ay may muscle control. Dalawa sa pinakamahalagang dahilan ay ang mga sumusunod:



1. Para hindi siya ma­ging sobrang luwag, lalo naâ€,pagkataposâ€,niyang makapanganak ng marami-rami (2, 3, 4 na anak). Ang pc muscle kasi ang nagbibigay-lakas sa pelvic floor natin. Ang pelvic floor ay ang nagdadala (?) /nagsasalo(?) ng pelvic cavity natin. Ang pelvic cavity ay ang “bahay” na nagbabahay ng ating mga organs para manganak: ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus, atbp. So, unang-una, ang (pc) muscle control ay mahalaga para sa kalusugan ng tao;



2. Pero ang (pc) muscle control ay mahalaga rin para sa kasarapan ng sex.

With the same levels of protein as a boiled egg white, along with vitamin C, calcium and 30 other constituents, semen might appear to be a multi-vitamin supplement. More research is required, though, before it can be packaged and sold as pills. Regardless, semen is already available as a face pack, touting its anti-aging benefits.

Tira-Pasagad | Saksak-Sinagol / Boring ang sex life...
January 14, 2013, 09:11:30 AM
Dear Dra. Holmes,


Hello! Gud am. Really need your help. Am married for one and a half years na. My husband and I been together for 2 years.

No baby yet. Doc, my problem is sobrang dalang namin mag-make love. As in siguro thrice a month lang.

Mag-make love lang for the sake na fertile lang ako madalas. I had boyfriends before pero siya lang talaga ‘yung ganto ka-boring. Naiiyak na nga po ‘ko madalas.

Kasi sobrang boring po ng sex life ko since nag-asawa ‘ko. First time to experience ‘yung ganto po when it comes to sex... Thank you in advance. Hope you could help me. More power to you. God bless you.

-- Melanie

Dear Melanie,


Maraming salamat sa sulat mo. Kahit na ang unang “problemang” minention mo sa akin ay wala ka pang anak, feeling ko sa iyo ay ‘di ito talaga ang problema mo.

In fact, kung ang problema mo ay mas malaki pa sa iyong binanggit, marahil mabuti nga na wala kayong anak, para mas madali para sa inyo na maghiwalay, kung sakaling ito ang magiging desisyon ninyo.


Ang problemang sinabi mo (na kutob ko ay mas malaki pa at hindi lang sex) ay na napaka-boring ng sex life ninyo. Nasabi ko na kutob kong mas malaki ito kaysa sa sex lang dahil para sa karamihan ng babae, kapag ang sex life nila ay boring, ibig sabihin na ang asawa niya ay boring.


Mas madali para sa karamihan ng mga lalaki na paghiwalayin ang sex at ang ibang damdamin kagaya ng pagmamahal at paggugusto.

‘Yan ang dahilan kaya mas madali para sa kanila na hindi madismaya kung ang asawa nila ay hindi exciting, hindi magaling sa kama, pero sa ibang bagay â€" sa pananalita, sa pagkukuwento â€" exciting pa rin sila. Para sa karamihan ng mga babae, kapag hindi ka exciting sa kama, ibig sabihin ay hindi ka exciting sa kanila bilang tao.


Hindi ko sinasabi na lahat ng babae ay ganito. Pero bago kita talagang matulungan, sana sulatan mo ulit ako, para malaman ko kung ok na ok kayo ng asawa mo at ang pinakamalaking problema mo ay na boring ang sex life ninyo O hindi lang ang sex life, kundi pati ang buhay ninyong mag-asawa ay boring.

Iba kasi ang “solusyon,” depende sa problema. Ingat and I hope to hear from you again, dearest Melanie

-- MG Holmes

Inspiration & Hope / It Might Be Too Late
January 14, 2013, 08:35:46 AM
It might be too late...
The hospital was unusually quiet that bleak January evening, quiet and still like the air before a storm. I stood in the nurses' station on the seventh floor and glanced at the clock.
It was 9 P.M. I threw a stethoscope around my neck and headed for room 712, last room on the hall. Room 712 had a new patient. Mr. Williams. A man all alone. A man strangely silent about his family.
As I entered the room, Mr. Williams looked up eagerly, but drooped his eyes when he saw it was only me, his nurse. I pressed the stethoscope over his chest and listened. Strong, slow, even beating. Just what I wanted to hear. There seemed little indication he had suffered a slight heart attack a few hours earlier.
He looked up from his starched white bed. "Nurse, would you - "He hesitated, tears filling his eyes. Once before he had started to ask me a question, but changed his mind. I touched his hand, waiting. He brushed away a tear. "Would you call my daughter? Tell her I've had a heart attack. A slight one. You see, I live alone and she is the only family I have."
His respiration suddenly speeded up. I turned his nasal oxygen up to eight liters a minute. "Of course I'll call her," I said, studying his face. He gripped the sheets and pulled himself forward, his face tense with urgency. "Will you call her right away - as soon as you can?"
He was breathing fast - too fast. "I'll call her the very first thing," I said, patting his shoulder. I flipped off the light. He closed his eyes, such young blue eyes in his 50 - year - old face. Room 712 was dark except for a faint night light under the sink. Oxygen gurgled in the green tubes above his bed. Reluctant to leave, I moved through the shadowy silence to the window. The panes were cold. Below a foggy mist curled through the hospital parking lot.
"Nurse," he called, "could you get me a pencil and paper?" I dug a scrap of yellow paper and a pen from my pocket and set it on the bedside table. I walked back to the nurses' station and sat in a squeaky swivel chair by the phone. Mr. Williams's daughter was listed on his chart as the next of kin. I got her number from information and dialed.
Her soft voice answered. "Janie, this is Sue Kidd, a registered nurse at the hospital. I'm calling about your father. He was admitted tonight with a slight heart attack and " "No!" she screamed into the phone, startling me. "He's not dying is he ?"
"His condition is stable at the moment," I said, trying hard to sound convincing. Silence. I bit my lip. "You must not let him die!" she said. Her voice was so utterly compelling that my hand trembled on the phone. "He is getting the very best care."
"But you don't understand," she pleaded. "My daddy and I haven't spoken. On my 21st birthday, we had a fight over my boyfriend. I ran out of the house. I-I haven't been back. All these months I've wanted to go to him for forgiveness. The last thing I said to him was, 'I hate you."
Her voice cracked and I heard her heave great agonizing sobs. I sat, listening, tears burning my eyes. A father and a daughter, so lost to each other. Then I was thinking of my own father, many miles away. It has been so long since I had said, "I love you."
As Janie struggled to control her tears, I breathed a prayer. "Please God, let this daughter find forgiveness." "I'm coming. Now! I'll be there in 30 minutes," she said.
Click. She had hung up. I tried to busy myself with a stack of charts on the desk. I couldn't concentrate. Room 712; I knew I had to get back to 712.
I hurried down the hall nearly in a run. I opened the door. Mr. Williams lay unmoving. I reached for his pulse. There was none. "Code 99, Room 712. Code 99. Stat." The alert was shooting through the hospital within seconds after I called the switchboard through the intercom by the bed. Mr. Williams had a cardiac arrest. With lightning speed I leveled the bed and bent over his mouth, breathing air into his lungs (twice). I positioned my hands over his chest and compressed. One, two, three. I tried to count.
At fifteen I moved back to his mouth and breathed as deeply as I could. Where was help? Again I compressed and breathed, Compressed and . He could not die! "O God," I prayed. "His daughter is coming! Don't let it end this way."
The door burst open. Doctors and nurses poured into the room pushing emergency equipment. A doctor took over the manual compression of the heart. A tube was inserted through his mouth as an airway. Nurses plunged syringes of medicine into the intravenous tubing. I connected the heart monitor. Nothing. Not a beat.
My own heart pounded. "God, don't let it end like this. Not in bitterness and hatred. His daughter is coming. Let her find peace."
"Stand back," cried a doctor. I handed him the paddles for the electrical shock to the heart. He placed them on Mr. Williams's chest. Over and over we tried. But nothing. No response. Mr. Williams was dead. A nurse unplugged the oxygen. The gurgling stopped. One by one they left, grim and silent.
How could this happen? How? I stood by his bed, stunned. A cold wind rattled the window, pelting the panes with snow. Outside -everywhere - seemed a bed of blackness, cold and dark. How could I face his daughter?
When I left the room, I saw her against a wall by a water fountain. A doctor who had been inside 712 only moments before stood at her side, talking to her, gripping her elbow. Then he moved on, leaving her slumped against the wall. Such pathetic hurt reflected from her face. Such wounded eyes. She knew.
The doctor had told her that her father was gone. I took her hand and led her into the nurses' lounge. We sat on little green stools, neither saying a word. She stared straight ahead at a pharmaceutical calendar, glass-faced, almost breakable-looking.
"Janie, I'm so, so sorry," I said. It was pitifully inadequate. "I never hated him, you know. I loved him," she said. God, please help her, I thought. Suddenly she whirled toward me. "I want to see him."
My first thought was, Why put yourself through more pain? Seeing him will only make it worse. But I got up and wrapped my arm around her. We walked slowly down the corridor to 712. Outside the door I squeezed her hand, wishing she would change her mind about going inside. She pushed open the door.
We moved to the bed, huddled together, taking small steps in unison. Janie leaned over the bed and buried her face in the sheets. I tried not to look at her at this sad, sad good-bye. I backed against the bedside table. My hand fell upon a scrap of yellow paper. I picked it up. It read:
My dearest Janie,

I forgive you. I pray you will also forgive me. I know that you love me.

I love you too,
Daddy

The note was shaking in my hands as I thrust it toward Janie. She read it once. Then twice. Her tormented face grew radiant. Peace began to glisten in her eyes. She hugged the scrap of paper to her breast.
"Thank You, God," I whispered, looking up at the window. A few crystal stars blinked through the blackness. A snowflake hit the window and melted away, gone forever. Life seemed as fragile as a snowflake on the window. But thank You, God, that relationships, sometimes fragile as snowflakes, can be mended together again - but there is not a moment to spare.
I crept from the room and hurried to the phone. I would call my father. I would say, "I love you."
P.S. I think it would be a wonderful idea for each of us to take a minute of our busy day and tell people that are special to us that we love them....before it's too late! Don't you?

We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...

The best kind of friends,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like
it was the best conversation you've ever had..

It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

Philippine Daily News / Misis niluray sa tabi ni mister
January 11, 2013, 08:49:23 AM
Nagsumbong sa himpilan ng pulisya ang isang ginang kasama ang kanyang biyenan nang gahasain umano siya ng kanyang dalawang kapitbahay at katabi pa umano ang kanyang lasing na mister sa Caloocan City kamakalawa.


Nakilala ang mga suspek na sina Nolito Quitalig, 37, at Jovani Polloso, 35, kapwa ng PNR compound ng nasabing lungsod.


Sa pahayag ng biktimang edad 26, alas-tres ng umaga nang magising siya katabi ang mga suspek habang natutulog ang asawa sa tabi.


Nagawa umanong makapagparaos ng dalawang suspek nang pagbantaan siyang papatayin ang kanyang mister kapag pumalag sa gusto ng dalawang suspek at nang makaraos ay tumakas.

Nakadetine ngayon sa Manila Police District-Police Station 4 ang isang empleyado ng Manila City Hall matapos ireklamo ng kanyang ex-girlfriend na isang casino dealer dahil sa pag-upload sa Facebook ng kanilang mga ‘sex photos’ sa Maynila.


Ayon kay SPO1 Jacob Cebreros, ng MPD-PS 4, alas-2:50 ng madaling-araw nang arestuhin ang suspek na si Fritz Floreindo, 27, 1326 Vicente Cruz St. Sampaloc, Maynila sa loob ng Kubo sa Biak na Bato Bar and Restaurant sa Retiro St. Sampaloc, Maynila.


Nalaman na nagreklamo si Eva, 20, sa pulisya matapos madiskubreng ini-upload ni Floreindo ang larawan ng kanilang pagtatalik.


Bago i-upload ang kanilang sex photos, nabatid na nakaaway umano ni Eva ang kaibigang babae ni Floreindo at doon na umano nagsimula ang pananakot ng suspek hanggang totohanin nito ang pag-upload ng kanilang sex photos.


Kaugnay nito, itinanggi ng suspek na siya ang nag-upload ng sex photos nila ni Eva at sinabi nito na may access ang biktima sa kanyang FB account.


Narekober naman ng pulisya ang cellphone ng suspek na naglalaman ng malalaswang larawan pero wala rito ang pinabubura ni ‘Eva’ na sex video nila ng dating karelasyon.


Nahaharap ngayon sa kasong paglabag sa RA 9262, kilala bilang Protection law para sa kababaihan at ang posibleng paglabag sa cyber crime.

Value your health. Take good care of yourself because many people pray just to be healthy like you. Health is wealth.

Value your life, don't lose it. Don't even think of suicide because many people wished they had enough time to accomplish their dreams. You still have a chance to do that so why give up?

Value your freedom because so many people are willing to spend all they have to buy their freedom. If you doubt this, go to the prisons.

Value your parents irrespective of their status, whether rich or poor. If you think I'm wrong then go to orphanages and see how the kids wish they had someone they could call mother or father, no matter how bad they are.

Value your friends because they are not easy to come by. Be a good friend too. Be left alone on an island for a year and see if you will not contemplate suicide.

Value the food you eat, no matter how cheap because so many people have enough money to buy it but can't eat it because of their health.

Value your job because so many jobless people out there envy your job and wish to have it.

Value what you have because you might not have a chance to get it again. They say a bird in hand is worth 10,000 in the bush.

Value the little things you are given because they have the tendency to attract bigger ones.

Value yourself, value people and value the things around you, no matter how little. That's the best way to live and enjoy life.

Tribute To My Loving Wife

This morning I wrote something about my wife I like to share with you. I hope it can bless others as it has blessed me.

My wife just came downstairs. And you know, for those of you are blessed with a wonderful spouse, it is nothing like a blessing of a smiling woman (or for the ladies, a smiling man) first thing in the morning. Oh it could be so different. I remember there was a time where I was the nag until the Holy Spirit started to nag me!

The pleasant aroma of a warm spirit in the form of my wife is unequaled. There hasn't been bread baking, bread pudding cooking, sweet potato pie baking, cinnamon rolls baking, or the aroma of any favorite thing, that equals the fragrance of my spouse when she has joy. When she is sad or angry, the fragrance is a little harder to pick up, but it's still there. The Lord has definitely blessed me with a wonderful wife.

Pormal na hiniling kahapon ni Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago sa Commission on Audit (COA) na imbestigahan ang diumano’y “Christmas gift” na ibinigay sa mga senador noong Disyembre.


Sa kanyang liham kay COA chairman Ma. Gracia Pulido-Tan, hiniling ni Santiago na imbestigahan ang aniya’y pag-abuso sa ‘savings’ ng Senado na ibinahagi ni Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile sa mga senador mula P250,000 hanggang P1.6 milyon.


Kaugnay nito, sinabi ni Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office Secretary Ricky Carandang na walang pakialam ang palasyo ng Malacañang sa ginawang pamamahagi ng cash gift ni Enrile sa mga senador nitong Disyembre.


Aniya, bagama’t public fund ito, hindi maaaring manghimasok ang eheku­tibo sa ginawa ng Senado sa kanilang pondo dahil na rin sa separation of power.


Itinanggi naman ni Enrile na binulsa nila ang savings ng Senado.


Aniya, hindi maaaring maibulsa ang savings ng Senado dahil anumang pondo ng kanilang tanggapan ay dumadaan sa ‘audit’ ng COA.
