As you may or may not know, I’m getting married late-ish next year. In order to help Deidre and I reach the amount of money we need to pay for this special occasion, we’re doing a lot of saving, and working out how to improve our financial situation, and creating opportunities for extra money to come into our lives. This post is such an opportunity.
If you would like to help us by generously donating to our wedding fund, we would have some awesome appreciation towards your kind hearted nature. Please click on the button below and filll out the appropriate details. Even if you can only afford $1, every little bit helps us.

I get breaking intelligence reports relating to conflict around the world, via stratfor.com, most of which is very interesting. Not all of it is new though, or interesting enough for me to write about. The other times I did was when I was talking about the bird flu hoax and the Muslim crisis planned by the US. The latest report I got, just in the past hour or so, talks about the Middle East, but is the most recent of many.
The ground war has begun. Several Israeli brigades now appear to be operating between the Lebanese border and the Litani River. According to reports, Hezbollah forces are dispersed in multiple bunker complexes and are launching rockets from these and other locations.

Imagine a group of civilians calling themselves the Canadian Liberation Front. Imagine that they resented the actions of the US so much that they would kidnap two US soldiers. Would it then be reasonable for the US to engage in a full-scale invasion of Canada? Would it be reasonable for the US to bomb Canada’s civilian infrastructure of commercial and industrial facilities? Would it be reasonable for the US to engage in bombing campaigns against Canadian bridges, and strafing runs by jet fighters against Canadian civilians?
No, of course not.
So why is it reasonable for Israel to do exactly the same thing against Lebanon and Gaza?

One of the trends in IT these days is something called ITIL, which stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library. It’s basically a new way of standardising Service Desk processes and the language around it.
I finished Day One today of a course called ITIL Service Management Essentials. I need to do this one before I do the next one, which is ITIL Service Management Practitioner (or something like that). The course I’m on right now is only two days long, followed by an exam at the end of it. Pass mark is 65%. Based on a sample exam I did at the end of today’s course I got 78% on today’s content. I’m quite excited about that! My rate of comprehension isn’t usually very good, and today was just casual reading and listening to the lecturers (there were two of them). I guess I was surprised about how much I retained.

At work I’ve been made responsible for preparing the service desk’s Bird Flu pandemic plan. This is quite amusing to me because I consider the whole Bird Flu to be a hoax, but it’s also quite interesting to me because if the Bird Flu does happen, I’m the one responsible for the plan that my work will be using to continue providing service to customers, as well as ensuring the safety of the employees.

Are you sure there are any captured Israeli soldiers, captured by Palestinians or Hezbollah guerillas? Are you really sure? You’ve only got the Israelis telling you this. Any news of Hizbollah or Palestinian negotiations comes only from Israel, who provide all the news about what’s going on with Israeli interests. Israel is now telling everyone that the Hizbollah plan on moving their captured Israelis to Iran.
Why would the Hizbollah do that? They’ve never done that before, why now? Why would Iran take them, considering that Israel and the US are just looking for excuses to attack?

If you think you could do with some confidence boosting, you might want to print this list out a few times and put them at various locations around the house, work, and in the car. When you think you can do with a bit of a boost, have a read of the list and use it to put yourself back into a more confident mode. Just before job interviews is a good time.
