List of supported Operating System's and migration scenarios is listed here. In my case I am going to migrating a WSUS deployment from Server 2008 R2 running SQL 2005 to Server 2012 Standard with SQL 2008 R2 SP1.
Review considerations and system requirements can be found here.
First step is to install and configure the OS according to your organization's standards (including updates). Second step is to install SQL 2008 R2 with SP1.
After launching Setup from the .ISO file I got the error below. Select Run the program without getting help.
Of course, then I just got the error below. Back to the drawing board! Open up Server Manager and install the .NET Framework 3.5 Feature Role using your Windows installation media.
Open up Server Manager and install the .NET Framework 3.5 Feature Role using your Windows installation media. You may need to specify an alternate location (which is just really your CD-ROM path). Mine was D:SourcesSxS
After that is done re-launch the setup and install SQL Server. I am not going to go through all the steps here, the only pieces I installed were the Database Engine and the Management Tools. Then apply SP1 to the SQL Installation.
While SP1 is downloading/installing go through the Preparing for Migration documentation here, including filling out the worksheet for the existing WSUS server.
Now, for the actual migration we are just going to be following the steps listed here.
In my situation I am migrating from a WSUS Installation on Windows Server 2003 x86 (Source Server) to Windows Server 2012 x64 (Destination Server). First step is to install the Windows Server Migration Tools on my destination server using the PowerShell command below.
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature Migration
After that you need to create a folder containing those migration tools to use on your source server following the instructions here. Make sure you get the create command to match your Source WSUS Server. In my case the command looked like this:
.SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture x86 /os WS03 /path C:WindowsServerMigration
Next, open the C:WindowsServerMigration folder you just created. You should see a folder named similarly to mine which was SMT_ws03_x86. Copy this folder to your Source Server. Next, open a command prompt or PowerShell and change the directory to where you placed the folder above. In my case it was C:SMT_WS03_x86 and run the following command to register Windows Server Migration Tools:
Next step is to migrate WSUS Update Binaries from the Source Server to the Destination Server, instructions for which can be found here. For some reason the instructions aren't in the original article, I had to click through about 7 different TechNet articles to find these steps.
On your DestinationServer open Windows Server Migration Tools (as administrator) and run the command below:
Make sure to specify a password you can remember!
On your SourceServer open Windows Server Migration Tools (as administrator) and run the command below:
Send-SmigServerData -ComputerName <DestinationServer> -SourcePath <source_path> -DestinationPath <destination_path> -Include All -Force -Recurse
In my case my Source Path was just D:WSUSWsusContent and my Destination Path was the same. You don't need to create the folder structure on the Destination Server, the Migration Tool will complete that for you.
While that runs your Source and Destination Servers will look like this:
You can also check on the progress of the migration by comparing the contents of the WSUSWsusContent folder on the Source and Destination Servers to see how much has copied over. This is a screenshot of my Destination Server after about 15 minutes of migration.

BARLING � A car cruise planned in Barling next month is garnering "fantastic response," according to its promoter.
BARLING � A car cruise planned in Barling next month is garnering �fantastic response,� according to its promoter.
�We�re getting calls from Little Rock, Hot Springs, Mena and Russellville from people who are interested and want to come up for the cruise,� resident David Burns told the Barling Board of Directors last week.
In late June, the board gave its blessing for the Aug. 17 cruise night. The event is scheduled for 6-10 p.m. that Saturday.
�I�m doing everything I possibly can to make you all proud of this,� Burns said. �It�s really got the potential to be something big.�
Burns described the event as �something for families just to come out and have a good time.�
�Just tell them to come out, find a good place to park with their lawn chairs and watch the cars,� he said. �That�s basically what it is, watching cars. It doesn�t cost anything except your gas.�
Although there is no official cruise route, Burns anticipates motorists will make their way along Arkansas 22, called Fort Street through Barling.
�They�re going to come up through Fort Smith on Rogers Avenue and run right through the whole city of Barling,� Burns said.
Burns said he organized successful car cruises on Fort Smith�s Garrison Avenue in 1985 and Towson Avenue in 1989. The upcoming cruise night coincides with a two-day car show at Kay Rodgers Park in Fort Smith.
�The Razorback Corvette Club called, and if it holds, they�ve got 50 Corvettes,� he said. �Everybody is telling me there just hasn�t been anything like this in so long. They�re really looking forward to it.�
Last month, Police Chief Darrel Miner said his department will �be able to keep it under control.�
�It�s set far enough out that I will be able to schedule for it and plan for it,� he said. �I�m not concerned. I�m looking forward to it.�
Burns said that if the event is well received, he�d like to organize two cruises a year in Barling.
�We�ve really just got one shot at this to make sure everyone really enjoys this,� he said. �They�re going to have a smoker and food, and even maybe a band that comes out and plays. We just want people to be able to walk around and enjoy all the different facets of what this can be.�

The 2017 CIPD Learning and Development show (CIPDLDSHOW) at Olympia started much like many others. Only this time there were significant queues waiting to get in at the start time. Everyone was greeted by probably the happiest being in the building:
Yes full blown bag searches and a "meet and greet" by a sniffer dog". Not sure why HR people would be at a risk. No metal detectors – so anyone wanting to …. well lets just leave that there!
Over the years more and more people blog and tweet about the event, just look at the twitter hashtag to see a lot of what was going on: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23cipdldshow&src=typd
In recent times we have partnered up with Martin Couzins of LearnPatch and we meet up after each session and share our 'takeaways' or thoughts. Sometimes this is easier to do than other times! Each year we have a different theme to the way we do them. Last year it was "Green BeanBag thoughts" this year it is "Conference Skinny"
So here is the 2017 cipdLDshow conference in Skinny style:
Up-skilling the learning organisation – cipdLDshow Conference skinny #1
Create effective brain-friendly learning – 2017 cipdLDshow Conference skinny #2 Neuroscience

Cameras are among the most important features of a phone for many buyers. After all, their phone is their camera so their quality can be the deciding factor in opting for one model over another.
And given that most phones – especially flagships - are otherwise very similar in terms of performance and screen quality, photography and video is where manufacturers can differentiate their offering from rivals.
Our aim with this comparison was to discover which phone has the best cameras for taking photos, videos and selfies.
We've tested and compared five phones with the best cameras currently available: iPhone XS Max, Galaxy S10 Plus, Google Pixel 3 XL, Huawei P30 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 9.
As the iPhone XS has identical cameras to the Max, our comments apply to both phones. And the same goes for the Pixel 3, which shares the XL's cameras. Samsung uses the same rear cameras on the S10 as the Plus we used here, but the S10 lacks the depth-sensing secondary camera at the front, so our review applies only partially to the S10.
You won't find every flagship phone here, as we're including only those which have cameras good enough to be called "the best". That isn't determined by specs or features, it's judged by the quality of the photos and videos they produce.
How we test phone cameras
Rather than using controlled conditions and attempting to compare the cameras scientifically, we took photos and videos just as anyone would. That means using the default settings out of the box and taking pictures hand-held, not with a tripod.
The only settings we changed were to turn off any beauty modes on the selfie cameras, and to choose the highest resolution and frame rate for the video samples so you can see the best quality on offer. Most manufacturers make 1080p at 30fps the default setting because it uses so much less storage space, but this is far from the best quality available: all the phones here will record in 4K.
Camera tests
We've kept the comparisons to the core functions: photos with the main camera (including portrait modes with blurred backgrounds), selfies and videos. Extra modes, or the lack of them, have no impact on our verdicts.
Camera apps
The experience of taking photos is almost as important as the results, so the stock camera app is a key factor in our reviews as this can make the difference between a phone that's a joy or a pain to use as a camera.
Our hope is that you end up with a very good idea of how each phone's cameras perform in the real world, but judging image quality is inherently subjective. Some people prefer processed images which are sharpened and have saturated colours, while others prefer a more natural look. Plus, the screen on which you view the photos and videos has an influence too.
That's why we've uploaded the original files from each phone so you can view the full-size photos and videos and decide for yourself – bearing in mind your own priorities – which phone you should buy.
Drawing conclusions
Rather than judge the photos by viewing them on each phone's screen independently, we opened in them in Photoshop on a calibrated Philips Brilliance 272P. This is a 27in 4K display which allowed us to see all the detail in 4K video. Bear in mind that your own display may have a lower resolution, and may not produce accurate colours.
Check out these accessories which can make your photography and videos even better.

What is the best camera phone?
Best overall camera phone of 2019: Huawei P30 Pro
The P30 Pro has the best cameras of any phone right now. The main rear camera is simply amazing, able to take fantastic photos even in very low light. The other cameras can't match it for quality, but add huge versatility. The ultra-wide camera is great when you're shooting indoors or for landscapes, but it's the 5x optical zoom that impresses most.
Like every phone here, the P30 Pro isn't perfect: the screen has a lower resolution than we'd like for the price and the mono speaker feels like a step backwards. Video quality is improved, but still lags behind the best (iPhone XS and Xiaomi Mi 9). But if you can live with those things and you take more photos than videos, the P30 Pro will not disappoint.
As you'll see from the reviews below, there are other excellent choices besides the P30 Pro. Although we didn't include it in this roundup, Huawei's Mate 20 Pro is almost as good, and if you're not bothered about a zoom or a wide-angle camera, Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL delivers sharp and detailed pictures.
Xiaomi's Mi 9 easily deserves to be in this comparison, and is capable of fantastic photos and stunning video.
And it's no surprise to see the Galaxy S10 Plus as our new favourite from Samsung: it's the first to sport a triple rear camera, so bests the S9 if you're keen to have a wide-angle as well as telephoto lens.
The iPhone XS and XS Max can no longer claim to have the best cameras around, but they are still mighty impressive all-rounders when there's lots of light. Compared to the P30 Pro they lack the zoom and wide-angle capabilities and with a lower-resolution main sensor can't resolve the same amount of detail.
Also consider
The models mentioned above are the best, but if you can't justify buying a flagship phone, here are some cheaper alternatives that we've tested and been impressed by:
Best Camera Phone Reviews
1. Huawei P30 Pro
Huawei is now in a leading position for smartphone photography, having changed opinions with the impressive P20 Pro and then the building on that success with the Mate 20 Pro.
The P30 Pro steps it up another notch with a 5x optical zoom using a periscope arrangement. It then adds a fourth camera that's dedicated to detecting the depth of objects in the scene. One of the advantages of the system is that the P30 Pro is able to use its main camera for portrait photos and therefore offers the same field of view. Most of its rivals zoom in which, while not a damning problem, can be a bit irritating.
However, it's the zoom capabilities that really set the P30 Pro apart. If you think a 2x telephoto lens is adequate, you'll quickly change that opinion once you've use the P30 Pro's 5x lens.
As before, there's a hybrid mode that uses the extra detail available from the main 40Mp sensor along with the 8Mp sensor behind the periscope lens to offer what Huawei terms 'lossless 10x zoom'. It's a different way of doing things than Google's Super Res Zoom. We think it's more effective, but it's obvious just from looking at the photos at 1:1 in Photoshop that it is not lossless.
Close scrutiny aside, it's impossible not to be impressed by the detail the P30 Pro can capture. In our sample shots, we use St. Pancras hotel and there's a surprising amount of detail and clarity in the 10x photo. Even at 5x, the P30 Pro blows everything else here out of the water: there's simply no contest from the 2x zooms.
What's even more impressive is when you consider the range on offer, from the 16mm equivalent ultra-wide-angle lens to the 125mm equivalent 5x telephoto: no other phone is that versatile.
By default, Master AI – the 'artificial intelligence' image processing – is switched off, and for the most part you'll probably leave it that way. There's still a tendency to over-saturate everything when it's on, but not to the extent that it did on the P20 Pro.
What we haven't even talked about yet is the upgraded 40Mp 'Super Sensing' camera. Huawei ditched the traditional RGB sensor for one with two yellow sub-pixels instead of green. That's because yellow is more sensitive to light and it makes the sensor able to capture 40 percent more light.
So in addition to taking sharp, detailed images during the day, it's possible to shoot astounding photos in the dark, even if you have shaky hands. The Night mode works in a similar way to the P20 Pro's, combining a selection of photos taken over a period of 8 seconds. So, yes, we've seen it before (and the Pixel 3 brought us Night Sight). However, the super-high sensitivity means you can get colourful images even when it's almost pitch black. Frankly, it's magic.
The main camera is the one to use for the majority of the time as it delivers the best photos. On the sample phone Huawei provided for this test, photos from the ultra-wide camera had noticeably different colours to those from the main and telephoto cameras, being darker and more saturated.
That's most annoying when you're shooting video and you switch from the main camera to ultra-wide, as the colours visibly shift.
The Apple-like camera app is fairly easy to use, but is packed with a few too many settings and features. One feature we wish it had was auto HDR. But no. Even though Huawei has improved the HDR mode on the P30 Pro, it remains a separate mode of its own which you have to switch to manually. And so, for the vast majority of the time, you won't use it – a shame as it's very good.
The P30 Pro is Huawei's first phone to offer stabilisation in 4K, but there's still no option to record it at 60fps. Video quality is very good, with lots of detail and good stereo sound. Stabilisation isn't great in 4K, sadly, so you may want to stick to 1080p or invest in a phone gimbal.
As if 24Mp weren't enough for the front camera, Huawei has upgraded it to 32Mp on the P30 Pro. And it does take a good selfie, but we couldn't see a whole lot more detail than the P20 Pro's 24Mp camera. Look up close and details are smeary, as you tend to see when there's heavy noise reduction going on, but it's possible there's some "beauty" processing even when the slider is set to zero as it was for the selfies we took here.
So, the P30 Pro isn't perfect: the ultra-wide and zoom cameras each have their flaws. But overall the versatility and fact that you can zoom in and get detail where other phones can't, as well as shoot in impossibly low light makes the P30 Pro our pick of the bunch.
2. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
The S10 Plus's cameras are quite different from the S9 Plus's. Instead of minor tweaks, Samsung has added a third camera to go with the 12Mp main and 12Mp telephoto ones. It's an ultra-wide one with a 16Mp sensor, meaning the S10 Plus, and regular S10 which shares the same rear camera setup, now have a bigger range than ever before.
The main camera is basically the same as you'll find in the Galaxy S9. Its iris can switch between two apertures: f/1.5 (bigger) and f/2.4 (smaller). That's useful as it can open up to let in more light at night, and close up in bright light to offer sharper photos.
The telephoto camera is also the same, with a 2x zoom and optical stabilisation. The newcomer gets a 16Mp sensor and a wide-angle lens which is the 35mm equivalent of 13mm with an f/2.4 aperture.
Given how good the S9's cameras were, it's no surprise to see similarly good quality from the S10 Plus's photos. They have great dynamic range, so there's lots of detail in both shadows and highlights. Auto HDR means you don't have to think about whether you need to enable this setting or not.
White balance is generally reliable so colours are very good in just about all lighting except when it's really dark. Zoom in on a big screen and there's a lack of sharp, fine detail, but this is a minor complaint. You won't notice the effect of the variable aperture, as it'll mainly stick to f/2.4 in daylight.
The 2x zoom works well enough but obviously can't compete with the P30 Pro's 5x lens. As with the main camera, exposure, white balance and colours are very good.
Images shot with the ultra-wide camera obviously lack detail when you zoom in, but there's no obvious drop-off in sharpness as you often find at the edges of the lens.
In portrait mode, the S10 Plus uses the same field of view as the main camera, and does a good job of depth detection. There's a more realistic gradient to the blurring from foreground to background that makes the S10's portrait photos more convincing than from other phones. But it still can't adequately isolate wisps of hair, as any close examination will reveal.
For video, the S10 Plus offers great stabilisation in 4K, but not if you choose to record at 60fps. However, you're no longer limited to five minutes per clip as with the S9. Another upgrade from the S9 is a beta option to record video at up to 4K30 in HDR10+, which is great if you have a TV that supports this standard. Just viewing HDR video on the S10 Plus's screen, the difference was obvious to see with better contrast and colours.
The camera app uses the same format as most others, so you swipe between the various modes. Usefully the settings allow you to customise which modes are shown, so you can remove 'Food' and others that you don't use.
Where the S10 Plus struggles is in low light. There's no night mode and no hand-held long exposure mode. This means you'll end up with blurry photos if you select a long shutter speed in the Pro mode, although if you're determined you could use a tripod.
The dual front cameras could easily be mistaken for a standard and wide setup as on the Pixel 3, but the right-hand lens is purely for depth detection. There's an option for a wide selfie, but it's nothing like the difference you get with Google's phone.
Selfies are pretty good, though, and the depth camera certainly seems to improve subject isolation. There are various modes available in the 'Live Focus' mode including Zoom, which we used for the portrait selfie in the gallery here.
Overall, the S10 Plus has excellent cameras. It takes wonderful photos in good light which are on a par with the best here. Its strengths include great portrait modes for both front and rear cameras, and great video stabilisation (plus the capability to record in HDR10+).
The zoom is much more limited than the P30 Pro's, as are the S10 Plus' low light capabilities. But if you prefer to buy Samsung rather than Huawei, the S10 and S10 Plus are fine choices.

3. Xiaomi Mi 9
Xiaomi has been playing catch-up to Huawei for a while, but in the Mi 9 it has produced something special. This is a phone that can compete with Huawei's best, as well as Samsung and Apple. The same is true for the Mi 9's cameras.
The triple rear setup is a first for Xiaomi. It's very similar to the Galaxy's S10's with an ultra-wide camera and 2x telephoto, but the 48Mp main sensor steals the show. This works in the same way as Huawei's 40Mp sensor: it uses a pixel-binning technique where a group of four pixels are treated as one, with colours averaged across them (and other information) to produce a top-quality 12Mp photo.
And you need only look briefly at those photos to see that the Mi 9 is capable of duking it out with the big boys. Exposure is spot on, colours are natural (white balance is generally reliable) and detail is very sharp. It's only when you really zoom in examine photos in Photoshop that it becomes evident that fine details are slightly soft compared to the P30 Pro, but this is a very minor complaint.
What's arguably more impressive is that the Mi 9's photos are better than the iPhone XS's. Thanks to that high-res sensor there's more detail and noise is kept under better control, especially in low light.
The Mi 9's telephoto lens is also better, resolving more detail than Apple's. We're particularly impressed by the Mi 9's portrait mode which does a brilliant job of isolating the subject from the background for convincing bokeh. Plus, you can adjust the effect when editing a photo in the camera roll, just as you can on the iPhone XS.
Another of the Mi 9's strengths is video. It defaults to the usual 1080p30, but you can change this to 4K30 or even 4K60. You won't see any messages about features that are disabled when you do this: the stabilisation option remains active even at 4K60.
However, we found that it was pretty ineffective in that mode, but at 4K30 you can expect excellent results: smooth, detailed footage with very little noise. Autofocus performance is exemplary and changes in exposure aren't jarring. Stereo audio is pretty good as well and the only area the iPhone XS bests the Mi 9 for video is dynamic range. That isn't to say the Mi 9's footage has limited shadow and highlight detail: just that the iPhone XS captures more of it.
Xiaomi's camera app mimics the iPhone's, but it means it's intuitive. There are a couple of extra modes, but the Night mode isn't up to much when it's really dark. In very low light it will take a long exposure, but the results are unimpressive: it can't compete with the P30 Pro or Pixel 3. However, in moderately low light, there's a noticeable improvement as you can see in the shot of our scene-in-a-cupboard where there's a lot more detail in Batman's costume and a lot more shadow detail.
Round the front is a 20Mp selfie camera. It captures plenty of detail and even does a good job of portrait photos, again with very good isolation of subject and background.
Overall, the Mi 9's cameras are highly impressive. The zoom isn't as capable as the P30 Pro's and it isn't as good in very low light but if the Mi 9 takes your fancy (especially its low price), then you won't be disappointed with its photos or video.

4. Google Pixel 3
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have the same cameras. Although the hardware isn't that fancy, with just one rear camera, don't make the mistake of thinking it's no good. Far from it. With Google's 'Computational Photography' and the Visual Core chip there's a lot of clever processing which makes for some great-looking photos and videos.
Starting with the hardware, the main camera still has as 12.2Mp sensor, a Sony IMX363. There's no laser focus (as the Pixel 2 had) but phase detection is used to good effect: auto focus is still very fast even in dim light.
Software features are the highlights here: Super Res Zoom, Night Sight and Top Shot. Super Res Zoom takes several photos and uses the slight differences along with Google's computing power to intelligently create pixels for a better-quality photo than mere interpolation would create.
Night Sight works in a similar way to create a correctly exposed image rather than one which is too dark. The exact technique hasn't been revealed but the results speak for themselves. It's possible to get some fantastic results in dark conditions so long as there's no movement in the scene beyond your shaky hands.
Top Shot shoots a series of photos and automatically selects the best one and eliminates any where a person's eyes were shut or not smiling. And it works really well. It doesn't always trigger, though, even if you think it should have.
In good light, the Pixel 3's photos are just as amazing as you'd expect. Detail is crisp, white balance excellent and – thanks to HDR+ - dynamic range is impressive. Despite the single camera, portrait shots are very good and the blurry backgrounds look authentic, with subject isolation generally accurate. It is easy to spot errors, though, and a trained eye will immediately know it's "faked".
For all the software smarts, the Pixel 3 now lags behind its rivals which are sprouting more lenses than ever before. Super Res Zoom works as advertised, but only to a point. It isn't quite up to the standard of phones with a 2x optical zoom and certainly can't compete with 5x periscope lens on the P30 Pro (nor, indeed, the 3x telephoto on Huawei's P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro).
And, of course, it lacks a wide-angle lens for landscape shots, so you'll have to use the panorama mode.
The camera app is a pleasure to use. But the slider doesn't tell you the zoom factor, so we've approximated a 2x zoom, as well as 5x and 10x to match the P30 Pro. In these shots, the deficit becomes obvious where the brickwork of St. Pancras Hotel becomes a blur.
Since the Pixel 3 isn't noticeably cheaper than its rivals, we can't help but wish Google had spent the money invested in Super Res Zoom on a second sensor and lens.
In fact, Google did spend go for an extra sensor and lens, but it's on the front. This is no doubt because plenty of people now take more selfies than anything else. So in addition to the standard selfie camera there's also a wide-angle one. Both have 8Mp sensors, but with the great image processing that's enough detail for good-looking photos.
You don't choose which camera to use: there's a zoom slider that goes from wide-angle to zoomed-in and portrait mode works at any point in the range. The wide angle setting is great for group photos, but it does make the Pixel 3 better suited to people who prefer to take selfies rather than pictures of others.
Video capture is exactly the same as the Pixel 2, shooting 4K at up to 30fps. Stabilisation is a combination of electronic and optical and works at all resolutions. It's a shame that 60fps isn't available at 4K and that Google still hasn't improved the slo-mo options: you're still limited to 120fps at 1080p and can only shoot 240fps at 720p. However, the Pixel 3 does gain a flicker sensor which eliminates the shimmering effect you get from indoor videos shot under artificial light.
There are benefits of buying the Pixel 3 including the fact that you get free, unlimited storage on Google Photos for photos and videos at full, original resolution. This lasts until 31 January 2022, and could save you a fair amount on cloud storage.
Although you can criticise Google for certain decisions about the Pixel 3's cameras and capabilities, the main camera takes outstanding photos. If you don't want or need the extra cameras and features available on other phones, the Pixel 3 is still a great choice for photography.

5. iPhone XS / XS Max
Like Google, Apple improved its phone cameras for the XS and XS Max primarily by using clever software tricks rather than any major hardware updates.
So the arrangement remains the same as on the iPhone X (whose cameras were already very similar to the 7 Plus's) with a standard and telephoto camera on the rear and a single selfie camera which uses the 3D scanning Face ID system for depth detection for portrait selfies.
One feature not previously available is the upgraded Smart HDR mode which takes many more photos and combines them instantly into an image with excellent dynamic range: you can even take photos with the sun shining behind a subject and still get decent results.
Video doesn't quite get HDR, but the 'extended dynamic range' still makes a noticeable difference and – as ever for an iPhone – the iPhone XS produces fantastic, stable footage and can shoot at 60fps in 4K, though not with stabilisation at that setting.
Another first for the XS and XS Max was the ability to change the depth of field – the amount of background blur – in portrait photos after you take them. It works well and is certainly nice to have, but as with Smart HDR, isn't a killer feature. Indeed, if you already have an X or even an 8 Plus, it isn't worth upgrading just for the XS's cameras.
There's no real change in slo-mo capabilities: you get a choice of 240fps or 120fps at 1080p. The difference is that there's no longer the option of 240fps at 720p.
What you get with the iPhone XS is consistently good photos. Focus, white balance and exposure are dependable, and images have great dynamic range. HDR is used automatically when needed: nine frames are blended near instantaneously. If you head to the Settings app you'll find an option in the Camera section to disable auto HDR and opt to keep the 'normal' photo as well as the HDR version.
It's still a frustration that you can't change video resolution or frame rate in the camera app, but at least the app itself is exceptionally easy to use.
Where rivals forge ahead of Apple is in low light performance. The XS simply cannot keep pace when it gets dark. There's no "night" mode and no tricksy software that others use to stabilise long-exposure handheld shots. Maybe we'll see this in the 2019 iPhone…
So long as you take you photos before it gets really dark, you should be happy enough though. And you might be made happier by using the iPhone XS's Portrait Lighting effects which work well.
The iPhone XS takes a good portrait photo too. And in general the depth sensing does a great job, but as with every other system out there, it can look fake if wisps of hair are errantly blurred.
When it comes to selfies, Apple improved the portrait mode on the XS and the results are great. It also proves you don't always need more than a 7Mp sensor for great looking photos.
The iPhone XS and XS Max have great cameras and take excellent photos in just about all conditions. It's true that they're not the best cameras out there, and they struggle in low light, but if you must have iOS rather than Android on your phone, they're the best you'll find currently.

"I am a kind, sympathetic and cheerful person. I like to find a pleasant reason to smile every day. I am loyal and open to communication and acquaintances. I was always drawn to the knowledge of something new. I like to go in for sports, walk around the city, and spend time on nature in a circle of people close to me. Every day brings us so many wonderful emotions and I enjoy sharing joyful moments with my closer people. Depending on the season, weather and opportunity, I prefer outdoor rest: in the mountains, forest, on the river or near the sea. I like reading books of different genres. I have been fond of drawing for a long time, about 10 years. I also have a very interesting hobby - I collect porcelain elephants. And with what little things are you decorating your life? Sincerity, understanding, openness in communication and actions, ability to show attention to a woman, not only in words but also in actions. That is what I expect from my future partner. Naturally, a sense of humor is valuable to me, but, as they say, every person has a sense of humor, but it is not given to all people to understand jokes. It is important for me that my man has an inner core, next to him I want to feel like a weak woman, and he should be my strong and courageous man. Naturally all this comes in the process of communication. I am open to communication."

Handbook on Country Options for REDD+ Benefit-Sharing
This handbook, Country Options for REDD+ Benefit Sharing, acts as a focused summary of the TFD review of the same name. It offers unique insights linking international aspirations to mitigate climate change with practical options on the ground that can reduce deforestation and degradation.
There is considerable confusion when different stakeholders discuss REDD+ benefit sharing. The handbook recommends utilizing local and regional multi-stakeholder platforms to better understand divergent perceptions and to facilitate consensus amongst other solutions.
In partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The Forests Dialogue (TFD) organized a series of international dialogues under its initiative on REDD+ Benefit Sharing. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the TFD review is the result of dialogues in four different countries: Peru, Ghana, Mexico and Viet Nam which 250 key forest stakeholders from 25 different countries attended.

Visit of His Grace Bishop Irinej to St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church in Steelton
On Tuesday, November 25, 2008, Fr. Srboljub Jockovich and the stewards of the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church of Steelton/Oberlin, Pennsylvania, with the blessings of His Grace Bishop Mitrophan of Eastern America, were pleased and blessed to welcome His Grace Irinej, Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Australia and New Zealand, to evening vespers. Nearly 75 people were present to greet His Grace on his first visit to St. Nicholas Church since his elevation to bishop.
Bishop Irinej has been visiting Orthodox Christian churches in major cities across the United States at the invitation of the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) to raise money for humanitarian projects in Kosovo. The much smaller St. Nicholas community felt especially blessed to be included on His Grace's busy itinerary.
As His Grace entered the Church, Fr. Srboljub stood in front of the altar to greet him while the SSS Marinkovich Choir sang Dostojno jest (It is truly meet). Many parishioners were moved to tears as Bishop Irinej made his way up the center aisle to the altar. We have warm memories of prior visits, beginning when His Grace was a seminarian at St. Vladimir's Seminary and later, when he was a hieromonk and the keynote speaker at our 95th Anniversary Slava (Patronal Feast). We followed his career when he was on the IOCC staff and as he directed the Office of External Affairs for the Serbian Orthodox Church in Washington, DC. We were pleased to know he was elevated to archimandrite during his tenure as consultant on international and interchurch affairs to the Serbian Orthodox Church's Holy Synod of Bishops in Belgrade. His consecration as Bishop in July 2006 and subsequent enthronment as Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Australia and New Zealand was met with great joy in our parish. This was Bishop Irinej's first visit to our community since he became bishop and we welcomed this opportunity to express our deep respect for him, our pride in his fulfilling career and humble love for him and his mission.
Fr. Srboljub led us in the vesper service with the Choir Marinkovich singing responses. Even this had special meaning since our choir director, Nadine Klipa, was a fellow student with Bishop Irinej at St. Vladimir's Seminary. Frs. Daniel Ressetar, Timothy Hojnicki and Stephen Vernak were also in attendance in the altar. Milan Radanovic served as the reader and His Grace was attended by altar boys, Nathan and Marek Mierski. IOCC Director Dean Triantafilou and Chief Financial Officer Tammy Segal joined the parishioners and friends for the beautiful and uplifting Vespers.
As the service concluded, Fr. Srboljub wished His Grace "many years" and recalled warm memories of our long friendship with him. Bishop Irinej responded with a meaningful message based on the writings of St. John Chrysostom, as the Vespers were sung in honor of his feast, who said, "Feeding the hungry is a greater miracle than raising the dead." He went on to remind us that we show our faith through loving hospitality to our brothers and sisters whether they are family, friends or strangers. It is a straight forward lesson - the more we practice spiritual hospitality, the more closely we follow Christ's Living Words and Shining Light. With Christ in our hearts, minds and souls, we are more tolerant and more hopeful and we can feel and express greater love for all people. Practicing this hospitality every day means we express Christ's love to people around the world. More immediately we can reach out to our vulnerable brothers and sisters in Kosovo through the humanitarian work of IOCC. Bishop Irinej's message touched us deeply. In humble thanksgiving, we each filed to the front of the Church to receive his blessing and then adjourned to the Church Social Hall for a light buffet and fellowship.
Our Church community designated November's Charity Sunday for IOCC projects in Kosovo and our stewards have faithfully made donations for this purpose. Bishop Irinej's timely visit and important message touched our hearts and lifted our spirits. We continue to pray for his health and well-being and feel a closer tie to our dear Serbian Orthodox brothers and sisters in Australia and New Zealand because of our connection to him. We wish them all "many years!"

Who of us would not be glad to lift the veil behind which the future lies hidden; to cast a glance at the next advances of our science and at the secrets of its development during future centuries? What particular goals will there be towards which the leading mathematical spirits of coming generations will strive? What new methods and new facts in the wide and rich field of mathematical thought will the new centuries disclose?He ended his talk with these words (translated into English):-
The problems mentioned are merely samples of problems; yet they are sufficient to show how rich, how manifold and how extensive mathematical science is today, and the question is urged upon us whether mathematics is doomed to the fate of those other sciences that have split up into separate branches. ... I do not believe this nor wish it. Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole. ... with the extension of mathematical knowledge will it not finally become impossible for the single investigator to embrace all departments of this knowledge? In answer let me point out how thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which at the same time assist in understanding earlier theories and cast aside older more complicated developments. It is therefore possible for the individual investigator, when he makes these sharper tools and simpler methods his own, to find his way more easily in the various branches of mathematics than is possible in any other science. The organic unity of mathematics is inherent in the nature of this science, for mathematics is the foundation of all exact knowledge of natural phenomena. That it may completely fulfil this high mission, may the new century bring it gifted prophets and many zealous and enthusiastic disciples.A fuller extract from his speech is at THIS LINK
We have entitled this page "Hilbert's 24 Problems" but have only said that his paper contains 23 problems. The 24th Problem appears in a draft of Hilbert's paper, but he then decided to cancel it.
We do not state these problems in full, merely give the reader the context of each problem:
2. The consistency of the axioms of arithmetic.
3. The equality of the volumes of two tetrahedra of equal bases and equal altitudes.
4. The straight line as shortest connection between two points.
5. Lie's concept of a continuous group of transformations without the assumption of the differentiability of the functions defining a group.
6. The axioms of physics.
7. Irrationality and transcendence of certain numbers.
8. Prime number theorems (including the Riemann hypothesis).
9. The proof of the most general reciprocity law in arbitrary number fields.
10. Decision on the solvability of a Diophantine equation.
11. Quadratic forms with any algebraic coefficients.
12. The extension of Kronecker's theorem on Abelian fields to arbitrary algebraic fields.
13. Impossibility of solving the general seventh degree equation by means of functions of only two variables.
14. Finiteness of systems of relative integral functions.
15. A rigorous foundation of Schubert's enumerative calculus.
16. Topology of real algebraic curves and surfaces.
17. Representation of definite forms by squares.
18. The building up of space from congruent polyhedra.
19. The analytic character of solutions of variation problems.
20. General boundary value problems.
21. Linear differential equations with a given monodromy group.
22. Uniformization of analytic relations by means of automorphic functions.
23. The further development of the methods of the calculus of variations.
[24.] The simplicity of proofs (omitted).

Remember those days when we told you about the table full of X10 elements that had arrived.
Well, today we took a jump in the deep and started to look at a Swedish Alternative, called Nexa.
The main driver for this was that Nexa is readily available here in Sweden in any main street DIY Shop like K-Rauta or Bauhaus and it caught my eye as it has the typical X10 wheel, but would it work with our already installed suite of X10 and Homeseer ?
So what is Nexa ?
Nexa is a rebrand of the Home Easy Product range using its own proprietary format and targetted to the Swedish Market.
I dare to say it follows closely the original X10 design concepts, and has then changed it so that every single unit is a receiver.
It doesn't follow the mesh network approach of Z-Wave, so it has direct range limitations, but it is not as sensitive as X10 to garbage on the electricity grid ... and farmost it is readily available in your local DIY store.
Will we continue to use it ?
Well, we wouldn't want to make the jump to a new protocol if it would not be possible to integrate with HS, and the good news is that it does integrate using the RFXCOM add-on.
So for the more advanced(*) home geekz like myself this is pretty good news.
And for our starter friends who want to implement the walking closet project, you can now also do it with nexa as a starter kit :-)
Annelee, no need to run to Belgium and order the X10.
A simple Nexa PIR and Plugin Module should get you started, I will make the shopping list for you in a next little project, together with some more detailed pros and cons (**).
But now I have to run to get our Sneak Preview organized.
(*) Advanced means having more as three automated lightbulbs in your home.
(**) The dimmer functionality does look weird on the tested equipment.

Oil & Gas Financial Journal Article: As Time Goes By: The Long Gestation for Pipeline Projects
The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) is a trade organization that advocates regulatory and legislative positions of importance to the natural gas pipeline industry in North America. INGAA says it is committed to leading an industry that builds and maintains strong positive relationships with landowners, and has endorsed "America's Natural Gas Transporters' Commitment to Landowners." In doing so, each INGAA member company (including Dominion) embraced the core principles such as "Respect and Trust," "Accurate and Timely Information" and "Outreach: We will engage with and promote awareness on the part of affected stakeholders early in the planning process." A sample of the wide variety of information on the INGAA site:
- Siting and Right of Way for Interstate Pipelines. "INGAA is committed to leading an industry that builds and maintains strong positive relationships with landowners…A landowner is normally compensated a fair market value for the permanent easement…" (Friends of Nelson suggests that the use of eminent domain completely distorts the process of negotiation – there can be no fair market value when landowners perceive they have no choice.)
- How are pipelines built? (The photos in the Clearing, Grading and Trenching section don't come anywhere near showing the swath of destruction.)

You have no items in your shopping cart.
*Pictured above is the right handed model.
This is an excellent, very fast holster for concealed, plain clothes wear in cases where a thumb break or other retention device is not desired. The price is a bargain and I've carried my police issue off-duty Glock 27 in the JIT SLIDE for two years, without it ever coming loose. It also rides very high on the belt, so the weapon cannot be seen sticking out under a short jacket or light wind breaker. Excellent holster for a small auto, perfect custom fit.
I currently use a J.I.T. with my Colt New Agent. No matter where the belt loops are on a particular pair of pants, the J.I.T. always rides the right way. The fit around my Colt is excellent, and offers a very comfortable and natural draw.
I purchased this holster for use with the new Ruger LCP. It keeps it high and tight and hardly noticable. I would highly recommend it.

PERSPECTIVE-A recent article in the Toluca Lake-North Hollywood Patch brought back fond memories of a local neighborhood shopping center that once attracted the middle class of the San Fernando Valley.
I am not an old-timer as far as direct experience with Los Angeles history is concerned, but I do remember Valley Plaza and adjacent Laurel Plaza as at least moderately thriving centers. Sears, Robinsons-May, the United Artist movie theaters, along with assorted small retail outlets, were convenient alternatives to schlepping to the mega malls cropping up across the region.
There is little evidence of the district's golden years today. Macy's is the only business worth mentioning in what has become the armpit of Council District 2.
It is ironic that it took an outsider to shine the light on blight that has overtaken the former mall and its surroundings. Mitt Romney used it as a backdrop to criticize President Obama's economic policies.
Romney was off base on the target of his criticism - the White House played no role in the demise of the shopping center, or any other - but at least he reminded us that there has been no progress on addressing what has to be the most notorious example of failed local government in CD2.
It is noteworthy that Council Member Paul Krekorian was upset by Romney's visit, but it took the Republican candidate's visit to get CD 2′s representative to publicly comment on the embarrassment that is right outside his office near Victory and Laurel Canyon.
Krekorian was upset by Romney's upstaging him on this most local of local issues; so upset that he retreated to the inner sanctum of his office afterwards and has since been silent on the matter. It is ironic that he accused Chris Essel of being an outsider in their bitter contest for the council seat (by the way, so did I and I am glad she lost), because it took an outsider to get Krekorian to even talk about what might be happening with Laurel Plaza.
Will it take a visit by Newt Gingrich to make Krekorian come out again and update us?
Heaven help us if it gets to that.
Krekorian talks of a developer turning the shopping area around. Talk – we've heard that before.
We don't really know what deal is in the works because he is not involving the neighborhood councils who would have a vested interest in the plans – Valley Glen, Valley Village and, especially, all of the North Hollywood councils. The residents of CD2′s southern portion do not want to be left in the dark on such an important land use decision as it appears Sunland-Tujunga was on an SB1818 project [link] in the north.
Mayoral candidate Austin Beutner had an interesting suggestion, not specifically about Valley Plaza, but about rebuilding in general. He favors dumping the bullet train and instead plowing funds into the crumbling infrastructure and blight spreading throughout the city and state. $100 billion of investment in local business, roads and regional transportation over thirty years just might make a difference, more so than on a rail system whose finances definitely do not pan out.
There is no discussion of alternative uses for the property other than mixed use retail/residential, [link] a tired, quick fix formula that depends on consumerism and housing, two segments of the economy that helped drag the nation into recession and are making it difficult for it to recover.
We have enough malls in the region offering jobs that pay retail wages. If you want mixed use development, the nearby NoHo Arts community already offers it.
We need to take a different path, even if it takes a long time, or we will simply produce another failure that can only survive by cannibalizing business from other areas. That's a no-win strategy for the region.
There is no quick fix to this mess, but that's what career politicians always chase because it helps them in their next campaigns.
Let's agree to attract manufacturing and even transportation to the solution. Imagine a short extension of the Red and Orange Lines to Victory and Laurel Canyon offering more than ample parking for commuters currently limited by the inadequate lot at Lankershim and Chandler.
Centers for education could play a role in a comeback - for example, extensions for UCLA, USC and Cal State Northridge could attract desirable businesses.
How about local sports and recreation? Not just outdoor playing fields, but indoor facilities, too. That thought brings back memories.
I recall one evening when my daughter was at the Ice Capades Chalet practicing for a figure skating competition . It was a private session for coaches and their skaters scheduled right before the public entry time. I watched as Jeni took the ice and was relieved there was only one other skater present.
She could then practice her moves without dodging others doing the same.
It was then I recognized the coach of the other skater. She was none other than Tai Babilonia, a former Olympic pairs competitor whose dream of an Olympic medal was dashed when her partner, Randy Gardner, injured himself in practice.
I then noticed a man standing at the edge of the rink videotaping the practice session. He was obviously focusing on Tai's very young student. Perhaps it was the little girl's first lesson and he was a proud dad who wanted to capture the milestone for posterity.
He lowered the recorder and stared out at the girl. He displayed a wide grin and offered a few words of encouragement to the tot. It was Jack Nicholson.
We exchanged greetings and both of us went back to the business of watching our young daughters practice.
It is reasonable to assume that my daughter is included in one of Mr. Nicholson's home videos.
Ice Capades Chalet was a treasure and provided an accessible and affordable form of recreation for the community. It was torn down to make way for a proposed retail center, the first of a few failed plans for the property. Another strike against quality of life.
It is time we learn from our mistakes and demand that our elected representatives involve their constituents in the redevelopment process. They are doomed to repeat past mistakes without our input.
We are the people who will have to live with the land use decisions of our officials long after they start drawing their public pensions.
We deserve a say.

PRADO, Wagner Luiz do et al. Anthropometric profile and macronutrient intake in professional Brazilian soccer players according to their field positioning. Rev Bras Med Esporte [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.2, pp.61-65. ISSN 1517-8692. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-86922006000200001.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric profile, total energy value of the diet and macronutrient intake of professional soccer players, as well as verifying the differences among tactical positions: goalkeepers (n = 12), center backs (n = 20), median fields (n = 41), running backs (n = 21) and strikers (n = 24) in the studied variables. The sample was composed by 118 professional players (23 years ± 5 years) of the elite of the São Paulo state. All the evaluations were accomplished during the competitive period. Body composition was determined through skin folds measurement and the dietary data obtained through usual food intake. The goalkeepers and center backs were shown taller, heavier and with larger amount of lean mass than the other athletes, even so without significant differences among body fat percentage. The dietary habits of these athletes indicate a lower carbohydrate ingestion, hyperprotein and tendency to hyperlipidic diet. Thus, we can conclude that there are nutritional inadequacies and anthropometric differences among the players and their tactical positions. The results of the present study suggest that nutritional interventions are accomplished in the soccer elite, seeking to maximize the athletic performance.
Keywords : Nutrition; Body composition; Skin folds.

Indy Ranks No.1 for Industrial Spec Development1 Comment
Speculative industrial development is taking off in a big way — no place more so than Indianapolis.
According to a recent Jones Lang LaSalle study that was published in the Indianapolis Business Journal, Indy is No. 1 in the Midwest in terms of square feet of total warehouse/distribution space under development.
More than 2.5 million square feet of spec industrial space is being built here, compared with 1.73 million SF in Chicago, 900,000 SF in Cincinnati and 350,000 SF in Minneapolis. No development is currently under way in St. Louis, Columbus or Louisville.

3 Cat Conservation Projects That Help Humans Too
Conservation programs that take into consideration the well-being and interests of the people that live with the big cats have the most chance of succeeding. In the past, there has been a conservation versus them approach and people were even removed from their homes as protected areas were off limits to local people. Projects that work with local people and give them an incentive to save the big cats have a much better chance of success. Here are three big cat conservation projects that help humans too.

Cat Corridors are Important for Big and Small Cats
Now that we are a multi-cat household, it is important to make sure each cat has their own space and pathways around the house. Annie, Eddie and Mercy all get along but they still need alone time. The creation of routes or corridors for your cats will help them feel more at ease in the home. If your cats are spatting you might check to see if you can create a more cat-friendly home to ease the tension.
Can You Spot These 3 Cats?
I was recently having a chat with some friends about how we sometimes see big cats in the movies, or a magazine and at times they get the cats all wrong. For example, a person might say they love their cheetah print sweater but it is really a leopard print. I know this might not seem like a big deal but for big cat advocates, it makes us wince when we see or hear the cats thought of as interchangeable.
Cat Art Exhibit. Welcome to The Tiniest Tiger's Gallery
Welcome Friends to my first art exhibit.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
After I displayed my first painting, A Cat Artist's Interpretation of an Amur Tiger, that I created using my iPad and the Paint for Cats app by Hiccup, I could not believe the outpouring of support for my art.
I truly appreciate your kind words so I thought I would try to paint some more of the things that inspire me. This required a lot of thinking time and play time with my TipsyNip Tickle Pickle.
It took me quite some time to find the right color combinations to convey my interpretation of what inspired me and to then get the paint on the canvas. I sure hope you like my paintings too.

Tiger Teeth
Happy Tiger Imitation Tuesday. This imitation of mine proved quite difficult for most of you. I am taking the opportunity to show you my Tiger Teeth Imitation so you can try again. I know, I wish I could help you out a little more because our teeth look exactly the same, don't they? And our chins, and whiskers, and even our stained pink noses, same, same, same. ~sigh~ Do your best and take your time. I have placed a subtle hint to help those of you that are feeling hopeless.
Many Friends have asked me about their own Cat's teeth. I want to refer you to our good Friends at Paws and Effect. There you will find an interesting article "Why does my cat's breath smell like fish? Great information for your parents to know about keeping our teeth in working order. As you know chomping chow is one of my favorite things to do, so keeping my teeth healthy is important.
My breath doesn't smell like fish because I don't get to eat fish ever because of my allergies.
Alright, now try and decide which is me, Gracey, The Tiniest Tiger.
Am I on the left or the right?
And if you smell something fishy, check out Paws and Effect's post for some fresh breath tips. If you smell something fishy because you have found a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper in your bed, well I don't know if I can help you. You might need to ask for assistance from one of our big cat cousins, I am thinking Jaguar.
Thank you everyone. Meow for Now!

There are a few noticeable similarities in most of our modular cabins…log siding is an obvious one, and tongue and groove (T&G) walls (and ceilings) is another. But, why do we do it that way? Is it because of the way it looks? Is it because of cost? Can we do drywall in our cabins? I sat down with Brian, one of our Cabin Advisors, to discuss why we use T&G so often, and whether or not Riverwood can (or does) use drywall in our modular structures. We came up with the 4 Factors to consider when you're debating Tongue & Groove over Drywall.
Factor #1: Gravity (It Happens)
Structures made of wood are not immune to gravity, and gravity poses a couple challenges for modular cabin construction. Installation and settling are major concerns with in modular homes finished with drywall. We build your cabin in sections (modules). On delivery day, we move each module onto a trailer, and a truck hauls each module to your property. Once there, a crane lifts each module up into the air, and our team places each module perfectly on your foundation.
This is a process that drywall has not been proven to withstand without cracking or breakage. Any broken or cracked drywall will then have to be repaired or patched. Another challenge with any type of construction, including modular, is that structures tend to settle. This happens after the structure is placed on your permanent foundation. Some settling my be slight enough to go unnoticed, while other times, it's very noticeable. Settling can cause drywall to crack, pull away from the studs, or separate at the seams. The interior finish of your cabin is one of most expensive projects of the home. You put the time in to dream and plan; your home builder puts the labor in (plus materials) to complete your plan. It is no surprise that you would be concerned if you started to see visible cracks in your walls and ceilings as settling occurs. Right? The design team at Riverwood Cabins has designed our modular cabins to be finished with White Pine T&G throughout to avoid cracking and separating over time.
Wood has many virtues, one of them being strength. The nature of tongue and groove is that it actually adds strength to the entire structure. Delivery, craning, and installation have virtually no effect on the stability of the walls and ceilings.
Factor #2: Tongue & Groove is Completed in the Shop (There's a System For That).
One of most frequently asked questions is:
Isn't tongue and groove more costly than drywall?
Generally, yes–the retail cost of T&G will cost you more than drywall. But the labor is where the cost comes down considerably, with regard to modular cabins.
We go to great lengths to develop and maintain systems in our building process. The nature of modular construction is that we can look at each project like a manufacturer would. Anything we can do to increase efficiency will keep costs down (that's good for both of us, don't you think?). The fact is, the more our production team gets done in the shop (versus on the site), the better for everyone. Finishing the interior with Tongue & Groove in our shop allows each module to be… well… finished. The gap between installation day and your move-in day is much, much less with a T&G interior, than if drywall installation is involved. For example: to avoid problems relating to settling (see Factor #1, above), it is recommended that drywall installation is delayed one to two weeks after a cabin is installed. Once installation begins, drywall must be mudded, sanded, mudded, sanded, mudded, sanded… you get the idea. There is a definite time factor when considering the cost of T&G vs. drywall in a modular structure.
Factor #3: Real Wood (Without Real Logs).
If you're attracted to the rustic nature of log cabins or log homes, then T&G will likely be your choice for interior walls and ceilings. Generally, our customers want the natural, unstained look. We put a coat of clear varnish (or white varnish, for a white-wash look) on the boards, which allows them to age naturally over time.
Factor #4: Plank Walls are "In".
If you're on Pinterest or use Houzz, or follow interior design blogs, you might notice a "plank wall" trend popping up. We see blog posts on how to style and decorate plank walls as well as detailed instructions for DIY'ing your own. Whether or not you aim to be trendy, the fact remains… plank walls are "in"! Just look at some of the beautiful Tongue & Groove design ideas featured on Houzz!

There are two more changes I'm thinking of submitting patches for. 1. A NAT button in the routing dialogue. e.g. A simple checkbox you can click next to a routing rule that adds the respective firewall rules to make it a NAT. It seems this makes VPN much more usable, as there is then no need to drop to the command line to do vpn routing rules. The second idea, is a dialog for PPTP VPN. I've tried the script in a separate thread and it works reasonably well. So it might be a good idea just to build this into the UI.
Any feedback? Good ideas, bad idea? Don't care? Already work in progress?
I see liyifan posted a screen shot for PPTP VPN at the beginning of the year, but I don't see a patch for it… One thing I don't really understand at all is the use of dnsmasq with the VPN. How would one specify they wanted their host to connect to the WAN vs the VPN and visa versa? It seems to me all using dnsmasq with VPN is useful only if you want the VPN to act as an alternate WAN. Otherwise, you really need firewall rules to say what should go across the vpn connection and what shouldn't.

HQ4 - The Search for the Valley Traitors
Heroquest 4
The search for the Valley traitors
It has been many years since this took place but given recent events and the apparent destruction of the cult of Ravannon I felt it was time I sat and recounted what I could of those times past.
Those who took part were as follows:
At this time the Time of Reckoning was just at hand and the group holding the Status for the White Retreat had been abducted by parties unknown. We were following their path and encountered a very strong band of Kalid that we fought and killed; they had information that lead us to the Ikarthian triangle and a base of operations for a group linked to the Ravannon cult.
We journeyed there - once we were inside the Triangle we were assailed by some creatures that were Hordling-like but were not Hordlings as we understand them. The fight we had with them was intense and was very hard because the leader had the ability to drain power from you irrelevant of any power protections you may have had including permanent effects.
We traveled further into the Triangle towards our goal; we knew that some guild leaders had come to this area also to look at what was going on. We came upon a figure dressed in red with a group of undead; he called himself Cardinal Lungash and proceeded to attack us so we fought back and drove him off - unfortunately he eluded us.
We continued on and were met by another figure in red who turned out to be Kleinwort Ironfist the Assistant Guild Leader of the Gauntlet sect - he was seeking information as to why we were in the area so we explained what had occurred and what we were trying to achieve. He then lead us to his camp where we met and shared council with Avalon. He let us know that Taraman was in the area we were heading to and may well contact us.
We pushed on to a deserted section of the compound and proceeded to set up camp. We saw lights approaching and took precautions and were surprised to see ghosts approaching us; we were told we needed to pay to stay here. They were Ikarthian's and guests meant nothing to them; they wanted items to trade at the fair that was happening in the next few days. A fight ensued as Crumble (a Humacti) wouldn't trade with these creatures and we would not let him fight alone. We were victorious and set watches as it was late at night.
Ruff I believe was on guard when he saw some movement of the natural animals in the area and he went to investigate. Moving towards us in the early predawn light was a large band of armored warriors. The alarm was called as they got to us and the knight announced himself as Horst von Krieg, a Knight of our Dark Lady and told his retinue to kill us. A long fight ensued and the sun was well up in the sky before we had driven him off. He retreated to a building that we were unable to gain access to. We then went to explore our surroundings.
We came across a trader that was here for the market - while there a Kalid approached us and told us that Serbitar was coming here now. As we had had dealings with him before we moved away to try and give ourselves time to prepare. Unfortunately we didn't have time and they fell upon us with great fury. We didn't see the Serbitar we expected to see but there was a barbarian like being covered with furs and very powerful - this we later discovered was another Serbitar. The fight was intense and long they seemed to be using a large amount of poison and during this fight unfortunately Crumble met his ultimate demise.
We gathered our fallen and started back to our base - we had not moved far when we saw another group moving towards us. There was another Knight amongst them. He announced himself as Sir Guys de Valour and in our weakened state were hard pressed and as some more of our number fell we scattered to attempt to regroup later. Eventually we regrouped and ress'ed the fallen.
During this time we were approached by Taraman who told us that there would be a group moving into the area later in the evening carrying some information that we would benefit from. We decided that as it was early evening we would send a small group to report to Avalon on our endeavors since we had last met. They left and returned with a grave sight of Avalon chasing them. It wasn't until they got closer that it was apparent that he wasn't himself - he had in fact been raised as an undead. We dispatched him and took precautions to ensure that it wouldn't happen again.
By this time it was getting late - as it was getting full dark the Ghosts returned asking for payment and we dealt with them. We then set about preparing ourselves to ambush the group that were coming to this area. We laid our ambush and saw the lights approaching; we then fell upon them and a heated battle ensued. There were Drow from House Drannath amongst them along with snake beings. We eventually tracked down the ones carrying the information and dealt with them.
We returned to our base and had a look at the information. There was much translation to be done. Upon our return we discovered that someone had come to our camp and raised Crumble as a ghast which we slew and made a decision that we would all go once we were able to the Plane of the Sleepless Dead to retrieve his spirit so it could rest in peace.
We were very tired and we decided to take a brief rest and then do the translations. As we retired it was shortly after that Taraman came to us with great urgency saying that he felt we had little time to decipher the information. We had a book called the Book of Shadows and several scrolls that from the little we gleaned was about a ritual that was being prepared to help Ravannon ascend to become an aspect of the evil sphere. As we were translating the books and scrolls disappeared from our grasp.
We retired for a short while longer - when we awoke we were aware that Spark was missing; we searched the area for any sign of him or what may have occurred to no avail. There was little we could do so we went to investigate the market that was happening. We were moving along and we saw figures moving towards us - as they approached they turned out to be Minotaur's with golden heads. They approached us and started trying to remove ensorcelled or empowered items from us and they eventually got one and destroyed it so a fight ensued and we destroyed them.
We moved down to some buildings where we encountered some Gypsies trading with a Kalid - while we were there the Kalid grew ill and died; he appeared to have been poisoned. After they tried to encourage us to join with their games we chose to leave to investigate some figures we had seen in purple. As we approached they appeared to be Concillium members. We chatted to them (our relations with them at the time were quite tense because we were trying to obtain the Green teaching scrolls from the Taranor and they didn't want us to have them). We then saw some Shadowsfall in the area also and the usual level of distrust between us was present. They then left their building and moved off.
We then saw some figures in what appeared to be Taranor colours and the Shadowsfall were moving to attack them so we chose to help the Taranor. We then killed the Shadowsfall and we found out that the Wizards Concillium were basically trying to force them to hand over the scrolls and we promised our aid in trying to help them out.
On our way back we saw some ghosts in a building and investigated and saw them re-enacting a scene from their past - they were questioning the actions of Ravannon. We then moved back to our base to consider what to do next.
While we were discussing, a group of Gauntlets accompanied by Galadrin and Sardonyx approached - they told us that there was a possible site for the ritual close by and we may want to go and look at it. Night was falling and we decided to investigate.
As we approached a group of Drow from House Tumdurgal approached and said that the Wolfhold members were to follow them. They did this and we were left with Drow guards. Time passed and we grew concerned for our fellow group mates and we chose to move past the Drow whose response was to attack us. A long fight ensued which involved the group of Drow and Cardinal Lungash (also known as Kariel Lungash).
We took a prisoner as dawn was breaking called Ghiovani, a necromancer who we tried to interrogate but the Wolfhold members took it upon themselves to do this and he was left tied up, and sadly he escaped during the night, although he was chased for some distance.
Shortly after this some of our number awoke saying that we were about to be attacked. We readied ourselves and very shortly after Guys de Valour and his retinue that were also enhanced with Ravannon priests arrived. We fought him well into the morning and I believe we killed him at least once although he had the ability to function beyond death that I understand some knights can do. Eventually he fled and we pursued him and he sought refuge in one of the buildings we couldn't get into due to the wards.
We needed to recuperate and carry on with investigating the buildings. We started to move about the area trying to pass the wards to various buildings because we had surmised that there were focuses being placed at certain points to enhance the ritual.
As we were working out our next direction to explore we saw a group of figures moving in the distance; we then resolved to move to them and investigate. As we traveled over to the area we saw that this was a different group of Knights. This was led by a knight called Jasper de Verve. We relatively easily dispatched his retinue and he issued a challenge to Ruff who accepted it and an honorable combat ensued.
We divided ourselves - some of us moved up to investigate what they had left as the focus. Ruff defeated the knight and under the terms he was allowed to leave the field of battle. We joined the rest of the group who were being chased about by a mummy with a Michaliner tabard on. We spent much time trying to lay the mummy low while not destroying it as we believed it was one of our missing White Retreat members. During the course of the battle it caused many fatal diseases on people. We eventually laid it low and proceeded to attempt to remove the spirit from the body because it appeared that a major spirit of disease had been bound to it. It was not a true mummy - once we had removed the spirit we were left with a much weakened Duke Hanrow who we escorted back to our camp.
We spent time recuperating and night fell - we then moved to another focus point. When we arrived there we were confronted by Spark or more correctly the more conscious side of Spark the elemental but he still recognized us and had no desire to fight with us, but he was prepared to defend this focus point to the end if needed. We tried various non-lethal methods of removing him from the area.
We approached the amphitheater that was the site of the ritual whereupon we were assailed by Ravannon cultists, Horst von Krieg, and 4 or 5 serbitar's. We got to look in the area while fighting - there we saw the aspect of Ravannon that was the focus of the ritual. In the area were also some valley members - those that I can remember were Venga Ward who was Assistant Guildleader of the Warden sect, Vulminor the Assistant Guildleader of the Hospitalers sect.
When we got there we became aware of an effect that caused good power to be slightly less effective in its protection, and it seemed that evil power was much more easily accessed. The fight became very intense and we were being pushed back down a narrow valley. Ravannon stepped forward and cast a mass harm upon our first 2 ranks which included all our warriors - needless to say we were hard pressed to keep our front line alive but somehow we managed it. We slowly whittled down the numbers until only Ravannon was left - the sun was high in the sky when we finally slew him. We slowly recovered our dead and moved back to our camp to rest.
Some time later we awoke and considered what to do next - we knew other members of the towers were converging on this area so we chose to wait for a short while and see what occurred. A little while later a group of Gauntlets, led by Kleinwort Ironfist, Apshal Farlight (who was Assistant Guildleader of the White Path) and Sardonyx. They asked us what we had been doing, and as the conversation went on it became clear they were not working for our towers. It culminated in them asking us to join them in the cult of Ravannon because they believed it was the best way for things to go. We (surprisingly enough) told them to stick it and a fight ensued. We dispatched all bar Sardonyx who we were surrounding and raining blows upon him but he had the ability to transport him onto the plane of fire even while being attacked so he eluded us this time.
During the course of this fight some of our number noticed another fight occurring on a hill between Zanak Scorpion (who was leading the drow we had been attacked by earlier) and Sir Faldor Steel. They implored him to come to our aid which grudgingly he did. We explained to him what had gone on and what we had found out about the traitors within our towers. We were given leave to return to the towers after briefing him.
I hope that this is a fairly accurate recounting of events that took place far to long ago - I believe they are accurate but they may not be totally so if you would like any more information look up those who are still about that took part in this very important section of our history.

Good job Trojan doesn't want to be on the radiator. LOvely contented animals.ReplyDelete
If that was the case I don't think we'd have a radiator left on the wall any more..lolDelete
I wouldn't mind following their example right now. (Our pet cat, Gino, is another - snoozing away the day in the warmest spot he can find whether on a lap, his blanket-filled bed or under a radiator, when it's on )! Great shots, Tanya!ReplyDelete
The animals certainly have the right idea.Delete
I envy them. I wish I could be doing that right now instead of heading off to workReplyDelete
I think we all do Ann...I'm a firm believer in hibernation coming back!!Delete
They have got the right idea, I'm sat close to my radiator too.ReplyDelete
I know...one of the good things about being a pampered pet!!!Delete
Can I join them? Snow here last night but it's raining again now.ReplyDelete
I think we all should join them Jo!Delete
What a life!ReplyDelete
Pure contentment!!Delete
Dear Tanya, They certainly do have the right idea. It is very cold here.
The weather is predicting another snow storm this evening into tomorrow.
Perhaps another 10 - 12 inches. Oh well, this is winter!! at her best!!
Stay safe, cozy and warm dearest. Blessings, Catherine xo
Here's hoping this is your last lot of snow and that spring is just around the corner!!Delete
Awww...there's Trojan! :)ReplyDelete
I think you'll find he sneaks in quite a lot Tanya!! lolDelete
