As-Built BIM as a Tool for Urban Renewal
This issue and this month's webinar focus on the use of as-built BIMs in complex urban renewal projects where existing conditions must be accurately documented for design and construction management. First is an interesting parking garage project in San Juan, PR that required more than 350 scans. Next you'll read about a complex multi-use redevelopment project at a former Coca-Cola bottling plant in Los Angeles. You can learn more about both these projects on our webinar this week, Wednesday 7/22 at 1pm EDT titled: As-Built BIM and Urban Renewal--Case Studies in Mixed-Use Redevelopment.

|Sustech Saves 66% Using EdgeWise to Extract Walls, Beams and Pipes in San Juan As-Built BIM of a Redeveloped Parking Garage
|Written by Kevin Corbley

Sustech LLC reduced its overall modeling time two thirds on a large parking garage development project by using the EdgeWise 5.0 to automatically extract the architectural, structural and MEP features. The company delivered a single BIM containing all of the features needed by the architecture firm to design multiple new construction projects around the existing garage.
Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Sustech specializes in 3D scanning and BIM for the construction industry. Its client base spans the Caribbean as well as Panama and the United States. Sustech delivers BIM and other 3D products for every phase of construction.
BIM Used for Entire Design/Construction Coordination
"For the parking garage project in San Juan, we were hired by the owner – the largest bank in Puerto Rico – to serve as the construction project management consulting firm," said Sustech President Angel Vazquez. "BIM
would be used to coordinate the entire design and construction." Adjacent to a towering bank building, the garage includes four levels – basement, ground floor, mezzanine, and plaza.
Plans were in the works to make major changes to the upper plaza where the bank wanted a green space, complete with water ponds, outdoor recreation space and eating areas, created for its employees and patrons of nearby restaurants. A new restaurant was planned for the ground floor area next to the garage. "Design plans called for installing water cisterns in the basement with pipes run up to the plaza level to feed the ponds," said Vazquez. "The BIM would be used, among other things, to detect clashes when the piping system was designed."
EdgeWise Interoperability with Revit Delivers Major Time Savings
The Sustech team captured a total of 350 scans inside and on top of the garage as well as in two streets on either side of the structure. They used FARO Focus 3D X-330 and X-130 laser scanners. Sustech began using the EdgeWise software about six months prior to this project. The software, which contains architectural, structural and MEP modeling tools, was fully integrated into the firm's extraction and modeling workflow. Previously, manual extraction had been performed in Revit. "A major benefit of [EdgeWise] is its interoperability with other software," said Vazquez. "It easily integrated with Revit and Recap in our workflow."
Two Sustech technicians spent about a week processing and modeling each floor of the garage. They used each EdgeWise module individually to extract architectural, structural and MEP features. The architectural features included the concrete floors, walls and ceilings. Exposed steel beams composed most of the structure. And a few pipes and electrical conduits ran through and between the floors in the garage. "The automated extraction cut modeling time by 60 to 70 percent," said Vazquez, adding that the accuracy of the feature identification was excellent.
Walls, Non-Standard Pipes Shown in As-Built Position
The technicians were impressed with how accurately walls were captured and modeled by the EdgeWise software even when they weren't at perfect right angles. Non-standard pipes and concrete features were presented in their actual as-built positions. Sustech integrated all of the models into a single BIM for delivery to the design team. However, the firm also used Revit to generate a series of 2D as-built drawings of MEP, structure and architecture as official records of the garage's design before the new construction begins. Angel Vazquez will be presenting more details of this case study on a webinar this Wednesday, 7/22 at 1pm EDT. Click here to register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/9063821172860523265

The Graphs and Charts division of the Allied Hatters and Milliners Association of Corporate America is reinforcing today the findings from a number of scientific studies showing that the heads of the so-called swells in society are literally swelling.
Said James Cavanagh from Graphs and Charts, "In some industries, for instance in banking, we're seeing heads puff up as much as two full hat sizes and more."
Explained Dr. Natalie Mitchell, professor of Epidemiological Studies at Princeton University, "When the Centers for Disease Control started connecting the dots on all the bigwigs if you will complaining to their private doctors that their top hats were cutting off the blood flow to their brains and their comb-overs were no longer reaching the other side, we knew we had an outbreak of spontaneous macrocephaly on our hands.
"We of course at first assumed we were dealing with a bad reaction to some new fad that had swept exclusively through elite circles. Perhaps some impossibly rare and pricey black market male enhancement potion or miracle hair growth ointment.
"We even worried that the nob class if you will had gone back to thinking drinkable gold is the mythical Elixir of Life.
"These early conjectures, however, did not end up panning out if you will. Certainly we found plenty of trendy, unbelievably expensive sovereign remedy abuse. Addiction to the powdered organs of endangered species, for example, was rampant. But none of these costly nostrums could be tied to water on the brain or cranial hyperostosis or any sort of systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
"So we handed this head scratcher if you will over to our colleague Dr. Trina Martinez in the Department of Epidemiological Psychology."
Said Dr. Martinez, "Our first working hypothesis was that these people were collectively suffering from a hysterical swelling of the brain as a consequence of mentally beating themselves up for the unprecedented harm all their greed and their runaway sense of self-importance have caused societies and individuals across the globe.
"But we couldn't find one single shred of evidence that these people were feeling the least bit of shame or guilt whatsoever.
"So we reasoned that the swelling must be a consequence of cudgeling their brains, as they say, to reconcile all the overwhelming evidence that they are the banes of the species with their certainty that they are its stars.
"But our fMRI studies have shown that when the ultra-rich are forced to entertain the obvious truth that the world would be a better place without them, they exhibit no more brain activity than it takes them to dismiss a butler, say, or liquidate a company."
Said Dr. Mitchell, "The breakthrough came when we teamed up with our colleagues over in Evolutionary Social Biology. It seems that what we're seeing is a re-awakening of a long dormant social evolutionary survival mechanism from our more communal hunter and gatherer days.
"In a collective dynamic not yet fully understood, those among our prehistoric ancestors who grew overly proud of themselves, and thus threatened to unravel the tight-knit social fabric, experienced a swelling of the head that made them quite unattractive to the females of the species, who of course didn't exactly relish the idea of passing the huge-headed gene-delivery boys of these stone-age megalomaniacs through their birth canal and into the next generation.
"As for how much more head swelling we can expect to see in the modern-day versions of these threats to the social fabric, archeological evidence suggests that the heads of their ancestral counterparts kept growing till they exploded.
"So there's hope."

Invasion of the Giant Squids
Giant squids! Sorry to startle you, but we're just so excited. You see, they're giant squids! And they're invading California beaches by the hundreds!
An article from the AP explains that the squids weigh up to 60 pounds each, but most tip the scales somewhere between 20 and 40 pounds. And, yes, they squirt ink when irritated.
Web searches on the giant squids (GIANT SQUIDS!) are already off the charts. One-day spikes on both "giant squids" and "giant squids in California" surged from near-zip into the thousands. Folks clearly want to see these gargantuan creatures for themselves.
Despite their intimidating heft and tendency to spew ink, the squids aren't scaring off local fishermen. As of today, around 400 of the giant squids have been nabbed by anglers. That number is likely to rise. An article from San Diego 6 explains that locals "started booking twilight fishing trips over the weekend to catch them."
The last time the giant (aka "jumbo" aka "Humboldt") squid made waves in Search came last September, when a record-breaking 19 ½-foot-long, 103-lb beast was pulled from the Gulf of Mexico.
MyFoxLA hosts a collection of photos of nabbed squids.

Amazing Meteor Shower Tuesday
One of the best annual meteor showers will peak in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday, and for some skywatchers the show could be quite impressive.
The best seats are in Asia, but North American observers should be treated to an above average performance of the Leonid meteor shower, weather permitting. The trick for all observers is to head outside in the wee hours of the morning – between 1 a.m. and dawn – regardless where you live.
The Leonids put on a solid show every year, if skies are clear and moonlight does not interfere. This year the moon is near its new phase, and not a factor. For anyone in the Northern Hemisphere with dark skies, away from urban and suburban lighting, the show should be worth getting up early to see.

Veterans Day
Today is November 11th and people in the United States, are celebrating Veterans Day, which is also known as Armistice Day. Veterans Day is a day to honor and celebrate the veterans, who have defended their country.
But it is also a day of sadness, because there are so many that have lost their lives trying to defend their country. Veterans Day is a legal holiday in USA, both state and federal and was declared a National holiday back in 1938.
According to dailyamerican.com, there are still 25 million living veterans, so today is not only a time to be proud of the soldiers who have died fighting for their country, but to also be grateful to those who have served and are still living.

Background: Papillary meningioma (PM) is an uncommon meningioma subtype and the clinical characteristics remain unclear.
Objective: To determine the clinical characteristics and prognosis of PM.
Methods: The clinical data of thirty PM patients were collected, the samples were re-examined, and their prognoses were based on clinical observations and were calculated according to the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: The 30 patients included 16 males and 14 females (median: 34.0 years upon initial diagnosis). Of the 48 intracranial operations in the 30 patients, total removal (TR) was attained in 34 surgeries, and subtotal removal (STR) in 14 surgeries. Radiotherapy was provided in 20 patients. In 40 specimens with follow-up, 29 attained the positive aggressive factors. Six tumours showed positive PR combined with negative Bcl-2. The median follow-up period was 39.0 months. Tumour recurrence occurred in 18 patients (median: 17.0 months); the recurrence rates following TR and STR were 57.1% and 100%, respectively. Fourteen patients died from the recurrence. In the univariate analyses, positive aggressive factors (p=0.021), positive PR combined with negative Bcl-2 immunoreactivity (p=0.011), the extent of resection (p=0.001), and radiotherapy (p=0.002) were significantly related to progress-free survival (PFS). The MIB-1 LI was not significantly related to PFS (p=0.88).
Conclusion: PM is a rare subtype of meningioma with a tendency of recurrence. The extent of resection is an important prognosis factor. The presence of positive histopathological index increases the recurrence risk. Positive PR combined with negative Bcl-2 immunoreaction might predict a good prognosis. Postoperative radiotherapy may play a vital role in prolonging time to tumour recurrence.

I'm the leader of our Wellness Team at work, a group of people called "Vitality Champs" because we develop programs and encourage people to become involved with Vitality, a website oriented wellness program where you do a variety of things to gain points, qualifying for a lower health premium and hopefully improving your health in the process. At least that's the goal. One of the things emphasized in Vitality is eating good balanced meals and paying attention to your nutrition. No matter how much you exercise, if you don't eat nutritional things, you will not be in good health.
In the Old Testament book of Ezekiel we find an interesting account of God telling Ezekiel to eat a scroll. Here's what is recorded: "And he said to me, 'Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go speak to the house of Israel.' So, I opened my mouth and he gave me this scroll to eat. And he said to me, 'Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.' Then I ate it and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey." (Ezekiel 3:1-3) do
There is an old Jewish tradition that says when the rabbis teach their students, before the lesson begins they will put a drop of honey on the student's tongues, to remind them of the sweetness of studying God's Word and what it provides for them. Not a bad idea (dad and mom, with your kids). Ezekiel's account is not the only place we see God's Word compared to honey. Psalm 19:9, 10 says, "The rules of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb." But, if we neglect them, if we claim to follow the Lord but disregard his teaching, we see something else. "And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter." (Rev. 10:10) Here John has a revelation that is similar to what Ezekiel experienced, but for those who hear God's Word and don't do anything with it, God's Word turns from life to death, from sweetness to bitterness.
Do we truly "hear" God's Word? It's more than just allowing words to go in our ears. In fact, the Hebrew word "Shema" is what precedes what Jesus called the greatest commandment. "Shema (hear), O Israel, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your might." For the Israelite, "to hear" meant more than words going in your ear, it meant truly hearing, resulting in heeding the words and obeying the Lord, truly loving him. Are we exposing ourselves to the preaching and teaching of God's Word, and are we meditating on what we learn and acting in response? Only when we do so have we truly heard. Only then are we spiritually nourished. And such defines real faith.
The writer of the book of Hebrews continues the metaphor by saying that we need the meat of God's Word, not just the milk of a new Christian, as we mature in faith (Heb. 5:12). Yes, we need the spiritual nutrition that only comes from study and application of the Bible. Don't neglect to eat this book!
"Your words were found and I ate them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by your name, O Lord God of hosts." (Jeremiah 15:16)

MAC Dazzleglasses (Above)
Euristocrat II Dazzleglasses (Above)
Some people love 'em. Some people hate 'em. Either way, Dazzleglasses get a lot of hype.
Consistency: Sticky sticky!!
Application: My favorite part about it is the brush rather than the doe foot applicator. It makes the gloss go on smoothly.
Appearance: Most are sparkly and highly pigmented.
Quality: They last a long time and, although sticky, they are nice quality.
Packaging: The brush (mentioned above) is fantastic. The tube is taller and slimmer than a lipglass tube, but there is MUCH less product in the tube. You make quite a dent after very few uses.
Price: It's 18 bucks a tube. You got to really love this product to get a tube of barely any product. The price, to me, is atrocious.
My Favorite Colors and Why: Baby Sparks is perfect for everyday. It's a cute girlish pink color with multicolored sparkles. I wear it the most!! Love Alert is really pretty for at night. It's a fairly opaque cherry color that is flirtatious and lasts long. Funtabulous is absolutely gorgeous! It's a purple fuchsia with light purple flecks in it. it really looks good on everyone.
Review: In my opinion, they ARE sticky but I do love them. I have many of the colors besides Goldyrocks which I REALLY want. They last a long time and I barely have to reapply. Most of them are pretty opaque and shimmery. My only complaint is the price.
Upcoming Dazzleglasses: Here is the list of upcoming dazzleglasses from the Euristocrat II collection:
Date Night Soft blue purple with pearl
Euro Beat Peach coral with gold pearl
Internationalist Yellow pink with blue pearl
Local Colour Neutral yellow pink with gold pearl
Roman Holiday Medium brown coral with pink pearl
Rue d'Rouge Light red with pink pearl
Via Veneto Light violet with blue pearl

1 Barack Obama
2 Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama previously served as the junior United States Senator from Illinois, from January 2005 until he resigned after his election to the presidency in November 2008.
3 A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to Reflecting later on his formative years in Honolulu, Obama wrote: "The opportunity that Hawaii offeredto experience a variety of cultures in a climate of mutual respect became an integral part of my world view, and a basis for the values that I hold most dear. Obama has also written and talked about using alcohol, marijuana and cocaine during his teenage years to "push questions of who I was out of my mind. At the 2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency, Obama identified his high-school drug use as his "greatest moral failure."
4 Obama resigned from the Illinois Senate in November 2004 following his election to the U.S. Senate Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, succeeding State Senator Alice Palmer as Senator from Illinois's 13th District. Once elected, Obama gained bipartisan support for legislation reforming ethics and health care laws. He sponsored a law increasing tax credits for low-income workers, negotiated welfare reform, and promoted increased subsidies for childcare. In January 2003, Obama became chairman of the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee when Democrats, after a decade in the minority, regained a majority. He sponsored and led unanimous, bipartisan passage of legislation to monitor racial profiling by requiring police to record the race of drivers they detained, and legislation making Illinois the first state to mandate videotaping of homicide interrogations.
5 U.S. Senator: 2005–2008 Obama was sworn in as a senator on January 4, Obama cosponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act. He introduced two initiatives bearing his name: Lugar–Obama, which expanded the Nunn–Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, and the Coburn–Obama Transparency Act, which authorized the establishment of USAspending.gov, a web search engine on federal spending. Later in 2007, Obama sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges. Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program providing one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat- related injuries.
6 On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for president of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of the announcement site was viewed as symbolic because it was also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic "House Divided" speech in Throughout the campaign, Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence and providing universal health care. On November 4, Obama won the presidency by winning 365 electoral votes to 173 that McCain received, in the process capturing 52.9% of the popular vote to McCain's 45.7%, to become the first African American to be elected president. Obama delivered his victory speech before hundreds of thousands of supporters in Chicago's Grant Park.
7 Political Positions In April 2005, Obama defended the New Deal social welfare policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and opposed Republican proposals to establish private accounts for Social Security. Obama has supported eliminating taxes for senior citizens with incomes of under $50,000, and raising taxes on income over $250,000, on capital gains, and on dividends. As an environmental initiative, Obama proposed a cap and trade auction system with no grandfathering to restrict carbon emissions and a ten year program of investments in new energy sources to reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil. Obama addressed the first high-profile Chicago anti-Iraq War rally (митинг),and spoke out against the war. He addressed another anti-war rally in March 2003 and told the crowd that "it's not too late" to stop the war. Obama stated in 2007 that he would enact budget cuts in the range of tens of billions of dollars, stop investing in "unproven" missile (ракетные) defense systems, not weaponize space, "slow development of Future Combat Systems", and work towards eliminating all nuclear weapons.

text:
game: An application that uses a DirectPlay protocol to communicate between computers.
garbage collection: The process of identifying logically deleted objects (also known as tombstones) and link values that have passed their tombstone lifetime, and then permanently removing these objects from a naming context (NC) replica. Garbage collection does not generate replication traffic.
GC: See global catalog (GC).
GC server: See global catalog server.
Generic Security Services (GSS): An Internet standard (as specified in [RFC2743]) for providing security services to applications. It consists of an application programming interface (GSS-API) set, as well as standards that describe the structure of the security data.
ghosting: Custom client behavior in which file contents are downloaded lazily in response to applications accessing files.
global catalog (GC): A unified partial view of multiple naming contexts (NCs) in a distributed partitioned directory. The Active Directory directory service GC is implemented by GC servers. The definition of global catalog is specified in [MS-ADTS] section 220.127.116.11.8.
global catalog server (GC server): A domain controller (DC) that contains a naming context (NC) replica (one full, the rest partial) for each domain naming context in the forest.
global group: Also called domain global group. An Active Directory group that can appear in access control lists (ACLs) anywhere in the forest, and can contain other global groups and users from its own domain. Universal groups can contain domain global groups.
global version sequence number (GVSN): A pair of numbers that includes the machine identifier and the version sequence number (VSN). While two machines might assign the same VSN, because they have different machine identifiers, the associated GVSNs differ. A GVSN is used to identify a unique version of a unique resource. In other words, no two different resources are ever assigned the same GVSN, and no two different updates to the same resource are ever assigned the same GVSN.
globally unique identifier (GUID): A term used interchangeably with universally unique identifier (UUID) in Microsoft protocol technical documents (TDs). Interchanging the usage of these terms does not imply or require a specific algorithm or mechanism to generate the value. Specifically, the use of this term does not imply or require that the algorithms specified in [RFC4122] or [C706] must be used for generating the GUID. See also universally unique identifier (UUID).
Graphics Device Interface (GDI): A Windows API, supported on 16-bit and 32-bit versions of the operating system, that supports graphics operations and image manipulation on logical graphics objects.
Graphics Device Interface, Extended (GDI+): A Windows API, supported on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the operating system, that extends GDI to include support for Bezier curves, gradient brushes, image effects, and EMF+ metafiles.
group: A collection of objects that can be treated as a whole.
group object: (1) A database object that represents a collection of user and group objects and has a security identifier (SID) value.
(2) In Active Directory, a group object has an object class group. A group has a forward link attribute member; the values of this attribute either represent elements of the group (for example, objects of class user or computer) or subsets of the group (objects of class group). The back link attributememberOf enables navigation from group members to the groups containing them. Some groups represent groups of security principals and some do not and are, for instance, used to represent email distribution lists.
Group Policy: A mechanism that allows the implementer to specify managed configurations for users and computers in an Active Directory service environment.
Group Policy client: A client computer that receives and applies settings of a GPO. The Group Policy client can use client-side extensions to extend the functionality of the Group Policy protocols.
Group Policy data store: A data store that consists of two types of stores. One is a physical (file system) data store on the Group Policy file share that contains policy settings (extension and administrative template data), which can be locally or remotely accessed depending on location. The other is a logical data store that is part of Active Directory and serves as a repository for GPOs that are accessible via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Group Policy extension: A protocol that extends the functionality of Group Policy. Group Policy extensions consist of client-side extensions and Administrative tool extensions. They provide settings and other Group Policy information that can be read from and written to Group Policy data store components. Group Policy Extensions depend on the Group Policy: Core Protocol, via the core Group Policy engine, to identify GPOs containing a list of extensions that apply to a particular Group Policy client.
Group Policy file share: A file system storage location that contains policy settings that include extension settings and Group Policy template settings for GPOs. The latter settings consist of security and registry settings, script files, and application installation information.
Group Policy Object (GPO): A collection of administrator-defined specifications of the policy settings that can be applied to groups of computers in a domain. Each GPO includes two elements: an object that resides in the Active Directory for the domain, and a corresponding file system subdirectory that resides on the sysvolDFS share of the Group Policy server for the domain.
Group Policy Object (GPO) container version: A GPO version stored in the Active Directory portion of the GPO.
Group Policy Object (GPO) distinguished name (DN): An LDAPdistinguished name (DN) for an Active Directoryobject of object classgroupPolicyContainer. All such object paths will be paths of the form "LDAP://<gpo guid>,CN=policies,CN=system,<rootdse>", where <rootdse> is the root DN path of the Active Directorydomain and <gpo guid> is a GPOGUID.
Group Policy Object (GPO) file system version: A Group Policy Object (GPO) version stored in the file system portion of the GPO.
Group Policy Object (GPO) GUID: A curly braced GUID string that uniquely identifies a Group Policy Object (GPO).
Group Policy Object (GPO) path: A domain-based Distributed File System (DFS) path for a directory on the server that is accessible through the DFS/SMB protocols. This path will always be a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the form: "\\<dns domain name>\sysvol\<dns domain name>\policies\<gpo guid>", where <dns domain name> is the DNSdomain name of the domain and <gpo guid> is a Group Policy Object (GPO) GUID.
Group Policy Object (GPO) version: A version number that combines the user and machine Group Policy Object (GPO) versions as one 32-bit quantity. The upper 16 bits of the integer are the user GPO version and the bottom 16 bits of the integer are the machine GPO version.
Group Policy server: A server holding a database of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that can be retrieved by other machines. The Group Policy server must be a domain controller (DC).
guest account: A security account available to users who do not have an account on the computer.
GUID: See globally unique identifier (GUID).
GUID partitioning table (GPT): A disk-partitioning scheme that is used by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). GPT offers more advantages than master boot record (MBR) partitioning because it allows up to 128 partitions per disk, provides support for volumes up to 18 exabytes in size, allows primary and backup partition tables for redundancy, and supports unique disk and partition IDs through the use of globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). Disks with GPT schemes are referred to as GPT disks.
GUID partitioning table (GPT) disk: A disk with GUID partitioning table (GPT) schemes.
GUID-based DNS name: The domain naming service name of a domain controller (DC), constructed by concatenating the dashed string representation of the objectGuid of the DC's nTDSDSA object, the string "._msdcs.", and the syntactic transformation of the root domain'sdistinguished name (DN) to a domain naming service name.
GUIDString: A globally unique identifier (GUID) in the form of an ASCII or Unicode string, consisting of one group of eight hexadecimal digits, followed by three groups of four hexadecimal digits each, followed by one group of 12 hexadecimal digits. It is the standard representation of a GUID as defined in [RFC4122] section 3. For example, "6B29FC40-CA47-1067-B31D-00DD010662DA". Unlike a curly braced GUID string, a GUIDString is not enclosed in braces.

"I wish you couldn't figure me out, but you'd always wanna know what I was about. I wish you had a favorite beauty spot that you loved secretly cause it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see."
Even when I'm not sad this song breaks my heart. It's like every girl's thoughts ever compiled into one song. It's wanting love, straight up and down, so badly it hurts. The simplicity of her lyrics along with the stripped down accompaniment adds to the combination of equal openness and vulnerability. She is saying so much in such a small way, with such a timid manner. It's like a restrained flood. I can relate.

The Stretch Run for S&D
We are targeting Wednesday, December 9th, as the release date for Search & Destroy in PDF. The book is currently in layout and my layout man, B. A. Umberger, just started a new job. So his time is much more limited, as you can imagine. Nonetheless, the layout is looking better with every hour he can spare.
The esteemed Mr. Gibbons is putting the finishing touches on the last piece of art, and its place is set in the layout. So no problem there.
I opened a publisher account with One Book Shelf (Drive-Thru and RPGNow), where the PDF will first be made available.
The print-on-demand version should follow in a couple of weeks. I will be looking at feedback on the PDF before we go to print. If there are some things to clean-up, I'd like to take care of it in that window. PDF-only customers will be setup to refresh their copy as desired.
POD will also be available via One Book Shelf, and I am also looking at Amazon and Lulu as options. A separate digital copy is needed for the print version, but, fortunately, Mr. Umberger accounted for the necessary conversion.
This project has been a great experience. Everybody involved has been supportive and professional. I hope S&D marks the beginning of many more fun things down the road.

We're excited to announce that Lena has just recently been promoted to Human Resources Manager at Suttle and King! Lena joined us in January of 2017 and has quickly become a crucial member of our team. We want to tell you a little bit about her!
Lena was born and raised in Old Tappan, New Jersey, where she attended Montclair State University nearby. She describes her younger self as a tomboy, who loved skate parks and discovering new, unknown places to escape to. She still enjoys sports, and is an avid Jets fan! Some of her guilty pleasures include cereal, medium rare steak, and of course, a good cup of coffee!
One of Lena's favorite books is, "The One Thing", by Gary Keller. She likes the book's message that no matter what you are trying to achieve in life, it can be accomplished by taking things one step at a time. You can always apply the lessons from books to everyday life. Whether it be as simple as cooking dinner, or as complex as becoming an organizational administrator, the best way to achieve your goals is by focusing on one thing at a time.
When it comes to becoming a success, Lena is most inspired by her older sister, Reem. "She is 16 years older than I am, so growing up, she had always been a second mother to me. She's beautiful, smart, passionate, motivated, hard-working, and successful. People always negatively labeled her a workaholic but she never let that come between her and her goals. Now, while all those people are living paycheck to paycheck, she is living her fabulous life in New York city. She taught me to see positivity in the most negative of situations and for this reason I feel as though nothing could ever prevent me from reaching my goals." -Lena
Before joining our team at Suttle and King, Lena worked at Chili's. She was initially attracted to our company by the potential for growth available at our firm. She is attracted to this industry because she has a "work hard, play hard" mindset and she feels as though this business shares her values.
While working here, Lena has enhanced her recruiting skills and learned how to read people and assess character through tone of voice. Her favorite thing about being an employee is the fact that everyone genuinely wants to see their coworkers grow and succeed.
We asked Lena what she thinks most attributed to her success and this is what she had to say, "My attitude. I have gone through a lot of difficult times growing up and one thing has always been the same with each of these times; I got through. I remind myself every single day that "Tomorrow, I will be just a little bit stronger and better than I am today." In the work place, I tell myself the same thing. If I make a mistake today, it's ok. Instead of getting upset, I'll learn how to do it so that tomorrow, I'll be more knowledgeable and better."
She offers the same advice to others looking to start a career in this industry, "It's a lot of work, but it's worth it! You have to simply take it one day at a time."
Lena's goals for the future include traveling more, publishing a book and becoming an organizational recruiter, (helping other locations around the US with on-boarding, recruiting efforts, advertising, and office management)! She's got some big goals, but we know that with her talents and ambition, she will accomplish all of them and more!
We hope you have enjoyed getting to know Lena as much as we have!

GENERIC NAME: temazepam
BRAND NAME: Restoril
Temazepam is a drug that is used for treating anxiety. It is in the benzodiazepine class of drugs, the same family that includes diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), flurazepam (Dalmane), lorazepam (Ativan), and others. Temazepam and other benzodiazepines act by enhancing the effects of gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger that nerve cells use to communicate with each other) that inhibits many of the activities of the brain. It is believed that excessive activity in the brain may lead to anxiety or other psychiatric disorders and that temazepam reduces the activity. Temazepam increases total sleep time.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Capsules: 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30 mg
STORAGE: Capsules should be kept at room temperature, 20??? to 25???C (68??? to 77???F).
Temazepam is used for the short-term (7-10 days) management of insomnia. Insomnia is defined as difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakening during the night after falling asleep, and/or early morning awakening.
The recommended dose of temazepam is 15-30 mg taken about 30 minutes prior to bedtime. For some patients, 7.5 mg may be sufficient.
Itraconazole (Sporanox) may reduce the rate of elimination of temazepam, increasing levels of temazepam in the blood. This can result in excessive sleepiness. Oral contraceptives have been reported to increase the elimination of temazepam, an effect that may result in reduced effectiveness of temazepam. Alcohol or drugs that cause sleepiness increase the effects of temazepam.
Temazepam and other benzodiazepines have been associated with fetal damage, including congenital malformations, when taken by pregnant women in their first trimester. Temazepam should be avoided during pregnancy.
Use by nursing mothers has not been adequately studied.
The most commonly noted side effects associated with temazepam are excessive sleepiness, dizziness, weakness, and unsteadiness. Other side effects include a feeling of depression, loss of orientation, headache, and sleep disturbances. Like all benzodiazepines, temazepam can cause physical dependence. Suddenly stopping temazepam after a few months of daily use may be associated with a feeling of loss of self-worth, agitation, and insomnia. If temazepam is taken continuously for longer than a few months, stopping treatment suddenly may produce seizures, tremors, muscle cramping, vomiting, and/or sweating. Therefore, discontinuation usually is accomplished by slowly reducing the daily dose.

The Nines (2007)
Chosen by Victoria Charvill who had this to say: 'I've given Dave this one because Koala's control the weather. That and I love the concept of this film, as well as Reynolds and McCarthy. A witty script and good direction. It should appeal to the geek in you.'
A funny, mostly interesting but ultimately frustrating film.
It's hard to resolve a mystery like this satisfactorily and The Nines attempts at, well, I'm not entirely sure what it's trying to say in the end but it veers close to the recent Adjustment Bureau in dealing with a higher power.
That aside, there's some terrific stuff here. Hope Davis is as great as ever and Melissa McCarthy is wonderful, a sexy confidant performance that smooths over the cracks in the ending.

March 7, 2015 I was in Montgomery, Alabama, which is about 48 miles from Selma for the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday – The walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Unfortunately, I never made it to Selma because is it seemed about a hundred thousand other people had the same idea. Watching the event back at the trailer park where I was staying, it occurred to me that people today are in need of a connection. We need to feel connected to something, even if that something that happened fifty years ago.
Most of us are not rich. We are not famous. You will never see our faces on your TV screen or read about us in the Newspaper.
Too many of us feel like Carol on The Walking Dead, invisible. We are born, grow up, and walked through our entire lives feeling as if no one saw us or heard us.
By walking across that bridge most people validated their existence and took for themselves just a small piece of the victory that happened there.
By walking across that bridge most people felt as though they participated in the making of this world. In short, they felt as though their lives mattered.
One last note. I've often heard people say that God has a sense of humor. On Sunday, March 7, 2015 that was clearly evident as a Black President and over a hundred thousand of his Black constituents walked over a bridge named for a Grand Dragon of the Klu Klux Klan. Now that's funny!

Story Sprouts 2014 Authors
Sharon Bailey
Sharon Bailey is an active member of CBW–LA and SCBWI. She currently lives in West Hollywood, CA with her partner and their one-year-old baby.
Tiffani Barth
Tiffani Barth was born and raised in upstate New York. The second of seven children (five boys, two girls), she had a built-in audience for endless bedtime stories, and probably the most motivating family fan base one could ask for. Now, six manuscripts later, she is ready to share her stories with the world.
The abundance of younger siblings fostered a love of writing Young Adult and Middle Grade fantasy, which she is actively working on. She is consistently surprised by the hidden truths and realities provided by imaginary worlds and situations, and loves how these stories allow her to see her own world with a new—and hopefully better—perspective.
She has a BA in Film, and has spent a number of years in L.A. working in television. Recently she moved to Salt Lake City, to pursue other career options. She loves to travel and draw on the beauty of nature and the mountains for her inspiration.
Tiffani is the Treasurer for CBW–LA, and is also a member of SCBWI. Outside of writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, playing music, going to movies, and exploring off the grid nooks within her own city. She can usually be found in a hole in the wall café, sipping tea and plugging away at her latest novel.
This is Tiffani's second appearance in Story Sprouts.
Bryan Caldwell
Bryan C. Caldwell is the Executive Director of CRE Outreach, an L.A. based non-profit that specializes in creating original theatrical pieces with underserved populations which include: at-risk youth, the visually-impaired community and military veterans. CRE Outreach is also home to Theatre by the Blind, the country's only entirely blind theatre troupe. Bryan has written over fifty plays which have been produced and performed by these communities. Currently he oversees a team of actors and educators which provide theatre programs during school hours and as a part of the visual and performing arts standards for California. The curriculum is based on original play creation from the adaptations of popular children's stories. These programs are taught at schools across Los Angeles, and CRE Outreach is an arts provider for both the Los Angeles County Arts Commission and the Department of Cultural Affairs.
Bryan's stories in the Story Sprouts Anthology represent his first literary publication. He is a member of the CBW–LA, SCBWI, the Wimpole Street Writers, and the Santa Monica Fantasy Writers Collective.

Cacy Duncan
A resident of Inglewood, CA, Cacy Duncan likes writing about aliens, monsters and superpowers. She likes reading and watching "junk" about them too. She hopes to one day own a t-shirt with an alpaca wearing an afro on it. If she ever got a puppy, she would name him Kiba. Thanks to her four-year-old nephew, she's pretty good at pronouncing dinosaur names. Her favorite to say is pachycephalosaurus.
But she totally had to look up how to spell it.
If Cacy is sitting in front of a blank computer screen playing Papa Pear Saga on her phone, it's not because she isn't writing. She totally is. In her brain. Her current manuscript is about superheroes. She can occasionally be found on Twitter @WineAri.
This is Cacy's second appearance in Story Sprouts.
Angie Flores
Angie Flores was born and raised in Hollywood. A firm believer in fairy tales, Angie met her Prince Charming after college, and he became her happily ever after. Now she calls the South Bay home, along with her husband and three boys.

Angie has also written two television pilots, scripts for on-air radio announcements, and a movie script. Currently a part-time human resources manager, she writes handbooks, policies and procedures, and marketing materials.
Angie loves to travel, make jewelry, and roller skate on the beach. Insomnia usually brings her the time to write her stories. Angie has spoken to middle school writing classes on topics such as finding motivation and The Journey of a Story.
Angie serves on the CBW–LA Board of Directors as Marketing and Fundraising Manager.
This is Angie's second appearance in Story Sprouts.

I have stories I want to tell and I want the world to hear and hopefully enjoy what I have to say. I also love to expand my creative writing knowledge and learn new things about myself and my stories as well as absorb what others have written and learn from their stories as well."

9.5 x 15
ink, gouache, watercolor, charcoal, sanguine on cellucllay
For Mixed Media. Experiment with additional techniques. This was done on Celluclay, mixed with green tea, and dried in the oven at 200* for 2 hours. The green tea gave the paper a nice tint and I like the way the tea leaves are embedded in the "paper".
It is super fragile. As I was peeling off the aluminum foil, the edges cracked off, then as I was painting on the "paper" more of the edges cracked off. If I was to do this again I would make sure to make the "paper" thicker as it seems to be a bit more sturdy. My husband thinks it looks like a giant potato chip :)
The one on the left is thicker. I painted on the thinner one as the thick one wasn't dry.
Half Clam Tray
3.5 x 2.75 x 2
davy board, decorative paper, glue, book cloth
For Book Making. The case wrapper and liner are done with a decorative marble paper, and the tray is done with a black velvety book cloth. This was surprisingly fun to do. I really love the way it turned out. I may make more of these in the future.
I created it to house my "Me Book"
L<3ve WIP
8.5 x 11
For Book Arts. Mock up #2 for my final project. Here is my first attempt at this project. This one is much more successful then my previous try. I plan on using the pop up shapes as "bases" and then attaching black paper to add contrast. The pages will have white card stock behind them.

Can someone help me with LOBSystemInsance for Oracle ODBC connection with SSO?
View Complete Post
We are trying to connect the simple way from Sharepoint Designer 2010 to an external Pervasive SQL version 10 database.
Normally this is a trivial excercise in any other development tool, you supply an ODBC connection and away you go.
Using Sharepoint Designer 2010 (or the previous version) it is not possible to get a working connection that will get you past the "Configure Database Connection" dialog. We have to use the "Use custom connection string option" as that is the only place
there appears to be a Provider for ODBC or OleDB.
No connection string works, I have tried connection strings that work fine in Visual Studio, no joy.
I need a 'Wrapper.cs' file which takes care of the Database connection ( Oracle 10g) where
i can just call the method with my SQL Query
Gridview1.DataSource = SampleWrapper.ExecuteDatatable("THE SQL QUERY");
Plz Post the link if there is any open source !
I have visual studio 2008 professional with the inbuilt crystal reports version 10 I think. I create everything from my laptop and IIS runs from my laptop as well.
I have created the most basic report to try and figure out a problem I have, anyways the report contains one database field that is it .... which I connect to by ODBC. I then create a web form add the crystal report viewer to the report and the crystal report source run the web page and it loads the data from the field as I would expect to the crystal report viewer !!
I have several ODBC connections setup on my machine one using integrated security the other using SQL authentication both are system DSNs. Now when I publish my application and access it from IIS and not the localhost I can access everything from my application ok except when I go to form that has the crystal reports I get this error (ODBC used here is the 'sa' account)
Logon failed. Details: IM002:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Error in File
If I use the other ODBC that uses Windows authentication I get this error message
Logon failed. Details: 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database requested by the login. T
I am modifying a SharePoint site and so far so good. Some of the objects were created using Visual Studio 2008 (C#). I was able to modify these objects and implement them on the targete machine without issue. The final step is to implement
the ASPX pages that were modified using SharePoint Designer 2007. These are aspx pages that are used to modify items in lists. All the pages involved in this upgrade are customized. I need to upgrade the target site with the modified version
of these pages. My intent is to copy the code from the page in the source site and past it into the same page on the target site. I tried using the Remote Web Site connection tool in SharePoint Designer 2007 but received the following error message:
"Unable to open 'https://(site address)'. Server Error: Could not find a Web server at 'website'. Please check to make sure that the Web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure that everything
is correct, the Web server may be temporarily out of service."
I am not sure how to first check to see if the Web Server is temporarily out of service. I would appreciate your input on how to verify this.
Background information of target machine: WinServer 2008, IIS 7, Sharepoint (MOSS2007), site on port 80
Can anyone have information to share on,
As to how SharePoint 2010 sync with Oracle OID?
Is it supported from Microsoft? and
What are the ramifications?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Tom Rogic said Celtic will be looking to make amends for their defeat at Molde two weeks ago when the Norwegians head to Celtic Park for Thursday's Europa League fixture.
Celtic were beaten 3-1 by Molde in Group A last time out, a result that left the Scottish champions with two points from three matches.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Molde sit atop of the table, five points clear of Celtic.
Australia international midfielder Rogic insisted the team does not need further incentive to improve their European performances and are aiming to take maximum points at home.
"We know the importance of the match and the performance certainly wasn't good enough over there," he said.
"Hopefully we've learned from our mistakes and we'll be looking to put that right on Thursday.
"It's a massive occasion and a big game for us. We know how important it is and we'll be looking to win the match, so it's exciting.
"We've shown a positive reaction to bounce back in the last few games, in terms of performances and results in the league and the League Cup, so we'll be looking to carry that into tomorrow's match and get the result we need."

Customers & Communities
Calibrating multiple priorities can be a challenge.
Transitioning to cleaner energy, while preserving reliability 24/7.
Making a responsible transition, while keeping energy reasonably priced.
Shareholder investment enables service upgrades that benefit customers.
Empowering our co-workers to work safely, effectively and efficiently.
What are your priorities?
We pride ourselves on providing reliable, reasonably priced energy in an environmentally responsible manner for customers and the communities we serve; operating safely; nurturing a talented workforce; and maintaining financial strength.
Ameren is transitioning to cleaner energy, but this must be done in a way that does not compromise energy reliability. Renewables such as wind and solar are intermittent. That means the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. So it takes a diverse generation fleet with dependable "baseload" capacity to meet our customers' needs, year round.
Adding renewable generation also can put pressure on rates. There are costs associated with planning, permitting and building new energy centers, along with the transmission infrastructure required to carry that power to cities and towns. Ameren is already investing significant capital to meet or exceed increasingly stringent environmental regulations. (This, too, impacts rates.)
Did you know Ameren's ability to earn a fair profit enables us to make service enhancements for customers, pay a dividend and support our communities? That's why we are committed to environmental and financial stewardship, including controlling costs. Shareholders make our business model work, to the benefit of customers. Shareholders provide much-needed capital so we can upgrade infrastructure across a 64,000-square-mile area.
Customers count on us, 24/7. Therefore, we strive to attract the best-qualified candidates, remain a preferred employer and keep up with workforce development training to keep our core business strong. We're preparing for a digital transformation; this will require strategic investments to ensure co-workers are taking full advantage of technology for the benefit of customers and shareholders.
Now that you've learned a few of the ways in which Ameren works to achieve balance, we'd like to know what's important to you. Click the button above to provide feedback. Your response will help us continue to create a more meaningful social responsibility experience for all stakeholders.

For decades Southern Nevada was the fastest-growing area in our nation. "Build it, and they will come" seemed to be the guiding principle for local elected officials, business leaders, developers, contractors, labor-union officials and many of our local residents, who enjoyed unprecedented prosperity during the boom years.
For those of us who lived here during the '50s through the '70s, when there were several local recessions, it came as no real surprise when the real estate bubble finally burst. We must never forget that the laws of gravity apply to economics, and Las Vegas is not exempt.
Surely we know by now that the value of growth and development in our community should be measured by quality and compatibility, not just by quantity. We must plan for steady, moderate growth that is tied to solid economic-development efforts, smart land-use plans and creative infrastructure improvement programs. We must say no to development proposals that do not conform to the land-use master plan and are protested by concerned neighbors. We must insist on proper planning, neighborhood preservation and architectural standards.
We have made great strides in our public infrastructure development. When I proposed the creation of the Regional Flood Control District in the mid-'80s, we had no coordinated action and no dedicated funding to protect us from destructive floods. When I proposed our Master Transportation Plan in 1989, we had a grossly inadequate transportation system and no real funding or plan to improve it.
Since then, we have spent billions in local revenue and additional billions in federal funding to build and improve freeways, a beltway, super arterials, mass-transit systems, pedestrian bridges, detention basins and hundreds of miles of major street lanes and flood channels. There are few communities in the U.S. that can match our aggressive local effort to implement necessary public works projects. For many of our future transportation-improvement projects, we will have to explore public-private partnerships that have toll-road options and integrate the private monorail system with our public mass-transit systems.
To achieve any of this, there must be creative planning and a vision for our future. In the Book of Proverbs of the Old Testament we are warned, "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

In Reply to: Re: It's not worth it when you add CDN taxes posted by Jonathan Forbes on December 27, 1998 at 12:26:52:
I just went to bmw.ca and calculated the price of my car in Cananda. With the equivalent package my 323i would cost CDN $39,820 (they didn't have in-dash CD listed so I just added $200). Dividing by the exchange rate of 1.55 that would be $25,690 and adding the provincial tax (8% since my aunt lives in Toronto and assuming I'll get the Canadian federal tax refunded back) that comes out to be US$27,745. I paid US$27,695 in the States including everything for the same car. I get the US warranty guaranteed (Sorry, but I'm still doubtful all US dealers will honor the Canadian warranty). The only difference between the two cars I've selected are that the Canadian car has heated locks and headlight washers, but the US model has 10 speakers instead of 6. This is not a simple arb, though I wish it was.
I need the savings to be at least $2,000-$3,000 to be worth it and to trouble my aunt. Plus in certain states, like California, you will be penalized by a $400 tax if the car is not built to EPA and CA emissions standards (It has to say it in the engine compartment). Yes, my analysis is flawed because I assumed there are discounts in the US and paid MSRP in Canada, but can the Canadian dealers discount the US$2,000 - US$3,000 to make it worth it for me? Also I didn't add Canadian Transportation charges, do you know what they are? I also didn't add the cost for the minor conversions needed for the US. Basically it's not worth it, you save $1,000 at most which you lose in resale. The average used-car buyer in the US would be suspicious of a car made to Canadian specifications and the same is true if you ever trade it in.

Y/K Delta Lifesavers Mission Statement
To raise funds for the operation & maintenance costs of a community multipurpose gym and swimming pool facility, to seek funds for the construction of such a facility, to sponsor healthy activities for families with a strong emphasis on youth, to create awareness for positive parenting & the need for positive mentors/role models for area youth, to establish a volunteer force to enhance and assist youth and family programs already in place.
Y/K Delta Lifesavers History
In 1991 a group of primarily Bethel mothers started fundraising efforts to help support the operation and maintenance costs of a swimming pool in Bethel. Before we could approach funding sources for a facility, we felt the community needed to show support of the operation and maintenance of it. Thus, that was the beginning of the Y/K Delta Lifesavers fund which now totals over $200,000. The fund is managed locally at Bethel Community Services Foundation as an endowed fund since 2008.
How The Fund Was Created
Proceeds from the annual Lifesavers Xmas Cookie Sale (known as the Xmas Cookie Extravaganza), earnings from Bev's Open Gym and proceeds from other fundraisers have been deposited into the Lifesavers fund. Over 19,000 pounds of cookies have been made and sold during the Xmas Cookie Extravaganza. Additionally, families, individuals, organizations and businesses have made contributions to the fund. Bethel Community Services Foundation can receive funds specifically for the Y/K Delta Lifesavers and those contributions will be added to the Lifesavers dedicated fund. Currently, grants made from this fund support swimming education programs for youth and others throughout the Y-K region.
