Definitions Edit
A business continuity plan (BCP)
|[is] [t]he documentation of a predetermined set of instructions or procedures that describe how an organization's business functions will be sustained during and after a significant disruption.[1]
|[is] [a] comprehensive written plan to maintain or resume business in the event of a disruption. BCP includes both the technology recovery capability (often referred to as disaster recovery) and the business unit(s) recovery capability.[2]
|describes what actions and decisions are needed to ensure critical business operations will continue in the event of a disaster or facility problem. The plan should discuss who has the authority to initiate the activities described in the plan, which operations should be continued, and how to re-establish the operations.[3]
Overview Edit
Business continuity planning addresses the overall issue of maintaining or reestablishing production in the case of an interruption. These interruptions may take the form of a natural disaster (e.g., hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood), an unintentional man-made event (e.g., accidental equipment damage, fire or explosion, operator error), an intentional man-made event (e.g., attack by bomb, firearm or vandalism, attacker or virus), or an equipment failure. From a potential outage perspective, this may involve typical time spans of days, weeks, or months to recover from a natural disaster, or minutes or hours to recover from a malware infection or a mechanical/electrical failure.
Because there is often a separate discipline that deals with reliability and electrical/mechanical maintenance, some organizations choose to define business continuity in a way that excludes these sources of failure. Because business continuity also deals primarily with the long-term implications of production outages, some organizations also choose to place a minimum interruption limit on the risks to be considered.
Before creating a business continuity plan to deal with potential outages, it is important to specify the recovery objectives for the various systems and subsystems involved based on typical business needs. There are two distinct types of objectives:
Once the recovery objectives are defined, a list of potential interruptions should be created and the recovery procedure developed and described. For most of the smaller scale interruptions, repair and replace activities based on a critical spares inventory will prove adequate to meet the recovery objectives. When this is not true, contingency plans need to be developed. Due to the potential cost and importance of these contingency plans, they should be reviewed with the managers responsible for business continuity planning to verify that they are justified. Once the recovery procedures are documented, a schedule should be developed to test part or all of the recovery procedures. Particular attention must be paid to the verification of backups of system configuration data and product or production data. Not only should these be tested when they are produced, but the procedures followed for their storage should also be reviewed periodically to verify that the backups are kept in environmental conditions that will not render them unusable and that they are kept in a secure location, so they can be quickly obtained by authorized individuals when needed.

Canada Stocks to Watch: RIM, Manulife, BCE, Air Canada and more
By Judy McKinnon
Here are some of the stocks we're watching today:
Research In Motion Ltd. said it has bolstered its board with two industry executives, bringing its board size to 12 directors.
Manulife Financial Corp. said it had a fourth-quarter profit of C$1.06 billion, or 56 Canadian cents a share. Core earnings, which exclude items, were 28 Canadian cents a share, shy of the Thomson Reuters mean estimate of 32 Canadian cents.
BCE Inc. said earnings rose almost 46% in the fourth quarter, while revenue remained flat. Overall, results were in line with expectations. It also announced a dividend hike.
Air Canada swung to a fourth-quarter profit on stronger revenue and said its adjusted loss came in at 2 Canadian cents a share, much better than both the year-earlier adjusted loss of 60 Canadian cents and the Thomson Reuters mean estimate for a loss of 19 Canadian cents.

Er, this is Jordan. I had a dream last night...
Now im sure we've all had our fair share of Slender man nightmares but this was...I can barely even think about it without losing my nerve. The detail, the purpose, the singularity of it. Do you understand what I mean?
A dream is illogical, Most things within a dream cannot exist within reality. Strange things happen and so forth, events go on, the plot changes rapidly, even the person you are in the dream changes over and over.
This is not how it went.
My dream began inside of a house. It was a simple, colonial style building. There was no color in my dream whatsoever, like a black and white film. The house was very old, and oddly distinct. The furniture was not familier to me at all, it had a distict texture, a distict feeling. There were pictures, broken and otherwise, with faces i'd never seen, and Dial-Tone was there. I wasnt surprised, oddly enough, it was like when you watch yourself in a dream. He just looked like me (Of course) except his hair was a bit longer, maybe a bit darker, and he was dressed differently then I usually do. He wore a light colored sports coat with a T-shirt, a pair of skinny jeans, and a pair of loafers, and of course the mask. We both walked outside, neither of us saying anything.
Their was a lake outside, cool and dark, with tall grasses growing all around and a forest in the horizon. It was at this point I took notice to an odd music i'd been hearing the entire time. I listened to it...I cant describe the sound. It was beautiful in each note, but the tone was...terrible. Slow...frightening, i'd never heard anything like it. We ran down the steps towards the lake, where the sound was coming from, and I saw him, Slender Man. He was facing the opposite direction, standing twelve feet tall, with no tentacles. His oddly long arms were positioned to hold what appeared to be a violin. He was actually playing it...and then I heard something Dial-Tone had whispered to me months ago. I heard it over and over again, with each movement of the bow across the strings. Hearhismusic. I felt a terrible fear coarsing through my body, I tried to move but could not. I tried to scream but nothing escaped my throat, I finally forced myself to look towards Dial-Tone but he wasnt there. I was wearing the mask and the sports coat. I screamed and fell to my knees, trying to pull the mask off with all my dwindling strength to no avail. Slender Man took notcie to me, and appeared hovering above me, looked down upon me, the music stopped and only a high pitched string filled the air. I screamed again and again as my vision went blurry and I lost control of my limbs, and I succumbed to what I believed was my fate as the black tendrils grew from his sides and began to coil around my body...and I finally...finally woke up.
I think i'm going to die...I think i'm going to die at the lake beside that house wherever it is...Yours,

Killeen Daily Herald
GATESVILLE – Following a full day of jury selection, opening arguments were set to begin at 9 a.m. today in the trial of 23-year-old former Fort Hood soldier Michael Andrea Larkin Jr., who is accused of sexually assaulting and attempting to kidnap a 7-year-old Copperas Cove girl in March 2005.
Jury selection began at 9 a.m. Monday when 300 summoned potential jurors went through the selection process at the Coryell County Courthouse.
"I would anticipate that this trial will be completed this week," 52nd District Judge Phillip Zeigler told the potential jurors Monday. "Jury duty is a duty that we have as citizens. It is also a right we have as citizens of this country."
Shortly before 5 p.m., the 12-person jury selections were complete.
District Clerk Janice Gray reported a seven-man, five-woman jury was selected by District Attorney David Castillo, Assistant District Attorney Catherine Ferguson-Gilbert and Larkin's defense attorney, Monty Montgomery.
Larkin, who is being held in the Coryell County Jail on a $2 million bond, is accused of entering Hettie Halstead Elementary School in Copperas Cove on March 7, 2005, and molesting the girl in the girls' bathroom.
He is charged with two counts of attempted aggravated kidnapping and one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Larkin also faces charges in Bell County for July 2005 offenses of aggravated sexual assault of a child and kidnapping in an incident involving two 7-year-old Killeen girls. He will stand trial in 264th District Court on Aug. 7 before Judge Martha Trudo.
While out on a $40,000 bond for the Copperas Cove offense and wearing an electronic ankle bracelet, Larkin allegedly kidnapped the two Killeen girls, sexually assaulting one of them. The ankle bracelet was a condition of his bond after Army officials and Judge of the 52nd District Court deemed Larkin a flight risk after he bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles.
Montgomery has previously stated that his client suffers from post traumatic stress disorder from serving in Iraq. He also has said he believes his client suffers from disassociative identity disorder.
Larkin was a specialist with Company A, 15th Main Support Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division. The military was investigating allegations that he molested two women while stationed in Iraq.
Shortly after Larkin's arrest in July 2005, a 1st Cavalry spokesman confirmed that Larkin was discharged from the military on June 16 for commission of a serious crime.

McQueen flip-flops on court's decision: Anglin
EDMONTON, AB (November 13, 2013): After first claiming her ministry has done nothing wrong, Environment Minister Diana McQueen flip-flopped and announced that this PC government will not appeal Justice Richard Marceau's ruling, Wildrose Environment Critic Joe Anglin said today.
In October, Justice Richard Marceau ruled that top Alberta Environment officials violated the fundamental principles of natural justice and displayed bias when they ordered certain environmental groups be blocked from participating in Alberta's regulatory processes. At the time, Anglin called for changes to the government's regulatory system to allow for open, transparent and fair regulatory hearings. Anglin said Minister McQueen's decision to not appeal Justice Marceau's ruling is in effect an admission of guilt and called for concrete measures to be put in place to ensure Alberta's regulatory processes remain free of political interference. "By not appealing the decision, this PC government is admitting guilt, but is also failing to convince Albertans and our international partners that lessons have been learned. This is the second time in five years the government has tainted a regulatory process with the apprehension of bias," Anglin said. "In 2009 the former Energy Utilities Board (EUB) was found guilty of the apprehension of bias when they got caught listening in on telephone conversation between lawyers and their clients. This government needs to show it's committed to not making the same mistakes again." Anglin said that it is essential to have an efficient regulatory system that Albertans can have confidence in. "The Minister's performance ever since this ruling has been handed down has been inconsistent and disappointing," Anglin said. "We need a regulatory system that can attract investment, but this government's indecision has left a black mark on our record. There's simply too much at stake when it comes to extracting our resources and protecting the environment."

I started a Marauder in the forest city (can't remember the name at the moment) and I planned on becoming a Blacksmith as well. From what I understood I could do this on the same character but I can't find a mining or blacksmiths guild anywhere. I haven't spent much time in game so it's very possible that I just haven't found it yet, but I've covered the whole city and didn't see it.
Do I even need to find a specific crafters guild or do I just equip a pick and go at it? If I just need a pick or similar tool, any ideas on where to get one?
Any advice would be appreciated.

It's Good To Be Tackky!
How a little known Startup that you should know about made my day with a delightfully handwritten hallmark card and some "Tackky" swag to go with it.
It All Started With Being Rejected... Well, Sort Of.
So about three weeks back while working on a web project and testing out the tools inherent here on Tackk (more on that in a bit) , I decided to go through some of the previous posts and listing, in hopes of finding work that may be fitting of what I am looking for here. After all, one of the most fun and responsive CVs I have was created and hosted through Tackk.
Anyhoo, I came across this application form the San Francisco (CA)/Cleveland (OH) based company had put out looking for [[[POWER TACKKERS]]] , a sort of energetic mystical persona [aka a Brand Ambassador] that can embody the type of media savvy and reach Tackk really needs to breakthrough the endless.ly expanding ranks of Social Media/ Micro Blog/ Web Page hybrids that have Tumblrd Yahoos and Storified Pinterests, Tweetfaced our GoogleBooks, Top 10'd our News Feeds and on and on and on and on... The Web and Social market is both an over-saturated and substantially anemic rainbow that can feel over crowded one minute and a place with billions of people still missing with room to grow, but I digress...
As I clicked through the [[POWER TACKKER]] application form, one thing became glaringly obvious at the first tab: I am not in the age bracket for their Ambassadorship Program.
The other questions in the form made it even more obvious that the folks at Tackk were looking for a type of someone I very obviously did not fit as, and I started to feel kind of awkward halfway through the first couple of questions, but I figured, what the heck, I will be myself anyway, press send and never hear back from them, or simply receive you standard boilerplate "DEAR APPLICANT , THANK YOU BUT -" rejection letter when I did. So I hit send, expecting this moment to slip into the millions of other hours slipped in the back of my mind when-
Lo And BEHOLD! A Direct Message From Tackk's Community Manager!
Now I am the type of person that the web algorithm and social metric gods have deemed as "Worthy" for companies to send samples to and eagerly wait while I write a few blurbs about them. It's not something I have ever been able to really turn into a full blown career like some other folks on the web, and I kind of stopped doing a while back while needing to dodge a lot of life rockets fired my way.
With that said, I do consider myself the type of guy who is always peeking into the "New Economy" type of web companies and businesses and have had my share of things to praise, express disappointment or experience direct heartbreak from- but I've never had a moment where I was gently let down while also feeling both awesome about it... AAAND have it come off where I end up doing a free full fledged write up of the whole experience to express my gratitude of how Tackk's Community Management Lead, Jane, handled the response to my letter.
She And Her Team Did It By Being Genuine... Genuinely Tackky*.
Now I may not be a fully accredited expert on this subject, but it feels like in this day and age where most web based companies and Startups are competing to own a large market share of user's time and money, doing something that can come off as "tacky" is akin to a Kiss of Death in the Silicon Valleys of the internet world- where you open yourself up to all sorts of derision and ridicule from Valley Wag and Tech Crunch.
The need to maintain appearances and in how companies interact with the world at large is so fraught with pressure of being "Cool" or on the *gag* "Bleeding Edge" of web interactions that it feels the more a Tech Startup is on the "cusp" of breaking big, the more it is expected of them to retain an icy veneer of impartiality.
I for one miss the old school charm of being responded to in fruit baskets and cheap glittery ribbons, and though I may be reading too much into this, there is something to be said about having the following happen after you check the mail:
It really may be silly the more I think about it, but in all the years of me being marketed to by countless web banners, screaming tv ads, neon banners and direct marketers, I've never had any of it come with a evidence of an actual human being putting ink on paper by hand accompanying it, esp from a stationary that is not advertising their "brand". I don't know why, but of all the "One Weird Tricks" I've been exposed to while peering through the monitor screen, that little note went straight to my heart and made me feel special.
Which is why I am bothering to write about Tackk at length here, and do think they deserve your attention along with all venture capitalists and journalists of the world to make sure they succeed as a business.
Now I hope by now you should be asking
Ok, That's Great Sia, But-
What The Hell Is Tackk, What Makes Them Different and Why Should I Care About Them In The First Place?
Well, the "About" section of the site has a pretty great intro about how these guys came to be, but the answers are pretty simple:
While their mission statement has grown and become more focused, Tackk wants to be the internet equivalent of the "Flyer" notice people "tack" on boards in real space. It is a platform where you can whip up an impressive collection of media content from third party sources and bring attention to whatever your heart desires in a fashionably finish and immediacy only possible in the 21st century.
What makes it different than say Tumblr or Storify (both of which are solid platforms in their own right) is that it's FAST, and even lets you get to work without being logged in or signed up with an account (with some limits, of course) - AAAND not to mention that the buttons and tools to create a post are quite easy on the eyes and surprisingly varied in terms of how you want to present your post.
Now, what should make you care about them in the first place? Well, you mean other than them sending me a handwritten note with some swag?
Well, this is a bit of a tricky answer, but still a very important one. Tackk is, from my experience by far the first and only Social Media company actively putting kids, teens, young adults, teachers and "Education" as their top priority and core user base. They even went as far updating their T.O.S last week to include stronger and more re-enforced language dissuading the use of explicitly violent or pornographic material on their platform.
Now as a visual artist who has had a very unusual collection of content, friends, and digital footprint over the years, it could be strange that I'm drumming support for Tackk due to the traditionally conservative "It's For The Kids!" values they have sutured on their sleeves.
For the most part my work has leaned on the side of encouraging Free Speech featuring content that could raise more than just a couple of eyebrows at a PTA meeting, not to mention the whole PTA business is something I consider "Tacky" but think about this: First, they are not stopping anyone from making Tackks that are not related to children and education, BUT have recognized that a large part of their user base for one reason or another are people who deal with children and education, and Second, it's a not only a niche, but also a tool-set that the Social Media has yet to successfully help serve much needed demand for.
Normally a company or platform is out for the "Youths" or the "Grown Ups" responsible for them, but rarely have they made something where they can walk up to both and say "Here, try this." and take a step back while both age sets start sorting through and make their own. That is a very fine and blurry line with hard generational gaps in between for a tech company to walk, and the fact that the founders of Tackk have become aware of this in the short years since Launch is both admirable and quite a bold undertaking. And while I may not be the right "Ambassador" with a "Pep Rally Pizaz" I do recognize there is something to be said about this "Tackky" approach these folks have got going in their two inter-state offices.
With all that said, I am proud to be wearing this shirt and have my likeness representing these guys with a thumbs up looping to infinity.
Thanks for the Swag, guys! Keep on rocking!
Note to the Tackk Marketing folk, I really hope someone has coined the term "It's good to be Tackky" already, if not, I say go for it! Promise I won't say anything if that ends up as a trade-marked by-line in the future ;)

I stole this theory from two of my friends. But it is great. Jacob's cabin was never Jacob's cabin. The Otherman was imprisoned in the cabin by Jacob. Christian Shepard was the otherman talking to Lock, playing him for the sucker he is, was, and always will be.
That is why Ilana freaked out when they saw the Ash line was broken, and the Cabin empty. They were going there to show Otherman/Locke 2.0 that they had Locke 1.0's body and the game was up.
All these manifestation, Yemi, Ben's mom, Claire, Christian Shepard, they are all done by the the other guy, trying to break from his prison and ultimately knock off Jacob. That is the significance of properly burying someone on the island. If they are not buried, Otherman can take their spirit, and use it to trick or lure someone.

Have Volkswagen Questions? Ask an Expert Now.
Hi, EPC stands for Electronic Power Control. this means that your vehicle has a fly-bywire system, whish means that there's No accelerator cable and the throtle body is controled by the ECM (Engine Control Module). The Accelerator pedal (or gas pedal) it's just a sensor, so no mater what your input is on the pedal the ECM actuates the throtle how ever it wants. scary hu!!!, but have no fear, the Accelerator Pedal Module hoses two TPS sensors(Throttle Position Sensors), G79 & G185, this two produce an increasing voltage as you press on the gas pedal, but at diferrent rates for safety, the Throttle Body Control Module J338 (throttle body) also has two sensor G-187 and G-188, aswell as Throttle Drive Motor G186, G-187 and G-188 the output voltages mirror each other for safety reasons. back to your epc light, when you say reset it, do you actually clear the fault codes with a scanner, or you just cycle the ignition switch? either way if a fault for the brake light switch is present, this means most likely your problem is the brake light switch, some cases that brake light switch does not trigger a fault for still malfunctions and triggers an epc related code, i would replace the brake light switch, clear faults and test drive the car. so if you have anymore questions or if you can provide me with more info on the fault code numbers and descriptions, and if your vehicle is manual or automatic, please do, thanks...
i would replace tha brake light switch first, it's the easiest and reletively inexpensive, if you could come up with fault codes it would be much help full, i don't understand why the repair shop say there were no faults, usually when an epc light trigers it stores a fault in the ECM, since it's part of the ECM, they aded another light ( the EPC light) because the Check Engine Light is more emmision related isues only, so in order to alert you of an Electrinic Power Control fault they aded a light, by the way, thanks for accepting.

The Grapes of Wrath
The Grapes of Wrath Biography
In the summer of 2010, after 18 years, the original founding members (Chris and Tom Hooper and Kevin Kane) joined together to play the Surrey B.C. Fusion Festival. Due to the show's success, the band once again began touring Canada and subsequently signed with Aporia Records to put together a new album. High Road, recorded in the spring of 2012 with co-producer Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, Blue Rodeo), was scheduled for release the following March. In the meantime, EMI-Canada released the album Singles in October 2012, featuring each of the 15 radio singles from GOW's catalog, as well as two new songs. The first new single, "Good to See You," reached the Top 40 on Canada's Active Rock and Alternative Rock charts.
