Hellesdeon Part 2
by dantewilde
Night had fallen on Harry's mansion and Christopher and his host sat up drinking whisky from the glass. The fire opposite them was dying and the embers crackled habitually. Christopher's breaths were deep and slow as he replayed the conversation with Leonardo over in his head, then thought of the other things he should of said. Harry was being absent minded as he sipped the brown liquid. He thought but of nothing in particular and as habitually as the embers crackled, he sipped from his glass. Leonardo, such a wonderful boy, and a boy with intelligence and patience you don't normally seen in a child his age. Can you not see that Harry? Christopher had watched while Leonardo had helped in perfecting his sisters handwriting. The adults had then gathered near the window as the children played outside and Leonardo, with effortless patience had taught her a game he'd just invented. Her name, what is the little girl's name? Christopher looked toward Harry with the intention of asking, but stopped. His demeanour had transformed since Maria and the children had left for bed, he now looked utterly alone amidst a internal tempest that had no reprieve.
"More whisky?" he looked toward Christopher, the rings beneath his eyes had deepened as the night had turned into the early hours of the morning.
"No, thank you." Christopher held aloft his half full glass and his mind drifted back to the boy. It is to be expected that such a brilliant young mind should come of Harry and Maria. But to live in the shadow of such a great man, is truly unfortunate. "Potential, potential!" he said aloud without realizing he verbalised his thoughts.
"Christopher?" The old man became temporarily bashful, then stroked his beard in thought.
"Leonardo, Harry, has much potential. He is very intelligent. He could be a scientist, an architect! What does he wish to do?"
"Yes, Christopher, he does. Leonardo wishes to take after his father."
"To be rich and supply revolutionaries?"
"To be entrepreneurial, to use his mind to make money."
"He does not want to be like Da Vinci?"
The comment caught Harry off guard;
"I have discussed that with him and although he holds Da Vinci in high regard, he has told me that he does not wish to emulate him." The formality of Harry's response surprised Christopher. Both men sipped their whiskys. Does he know his son? Christopher squashed the thought but it tried to rear its head again.
"Harry" he started "I must sleep, goodnight" he emptied his glass and stood up.
"Christopher, old friend, it is great to see that you are better. Rest well." Harry rose and the two men embraced before Christopher placed his glass on the table and made his way upstairs. Harry sat again and poured himself another whisky, if only Christopher, if only.
Christopher pulled the heavy bed spread back from the mattress. Then undressed himself. His beard brushed against his chest as he looked down towards his pale body. His muscles had begun to deteriorate and his taught skin began to sag and crease. The large scar that ran up his right side and was pink and fleshy. He climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to his chin. The weight of the blankets pressed down on his naked chest. It's heaviness and warmth was foreign. He breathed deeply and slowly. His shoulders shifted on the mattress and he sank he a little. It was a large departure from the wooden shelf he was used to. His body felt warm, yet instinctively he pulled himself into the fetal position and tucked his hands into his chest in an attempt produce as much heat as possible. The nights in Hellesdeon were bitter cold and the slats of the bench had worn away at the skin on his back as a result of his turning. He ran his fingers down his spine feeling the rough skin. The comfort of his bed and the children's toys in the room were far from his mind. He could feel the coolness of the Hellesdeon nights in his blood and their savagery on his spine. He closed his eyes in submission to the emotional pain and after a long while he drifted into into a restless sleep.
The night was cold as was the one before it and as would be the ones after it. Christopher turned on the wooden slats and felt the wood bite at his skin. He bled and felt it grow cold as it pooled beneath him. His body shook violently and his short hair was still wet, it felt as though ice crystals had formed on the strands. He closed is eyes and willed the pain to the stop. With his fork he'd scratched faint lines, counting the days, into the wooden slats. The number of strokes was six. It was after the sixth day, the treatments had begun and he'd lost count. Taken from his room he was shifted through the dark corridors by candle light and kept in a smaller room. Then removed for treatment and returned and then eventually returned his original room. The amount of treatments varied at any given time. The process had become routine and in between the periodic beatings by the orderlies, he had given in to confusion and had become disillusioned with the concept of time. He knew one thing, when he wasn't in treatment or being beaten and when he was. The orderly had pounded relentlessly on his door before it was opened and he was dragged from the bench by two sets of firm hands.
"The doctor has another round of treatment in mind." He was told as he was dragged through the dimly lit hallway and into one of the treatment rooms. Christopher closed his eyes; the journey to the room had felt longer than usual. Usual? He did not even the meaning of the word. His only constancy was pain…and the voices. The orderlies dropped his limp body onto the floor and he rolled his head to the side. There was a voice behind him, commanding and familiar with a disarming warmth.
"Christopher, I have spoken to the other doctors and we have all agreed that trepanation is the next best move in curing you." Christopher vaguely understood the term, he knew, it involved the brain and a type of surgery. Think, think, where have you heard it before? He urged himself. Then it flashed and his entrails froze. He pissed himself.
"However," the doctor began again reveling in his dramatic pause "we have elected to try you on another round of treatment. This round will employ different methods to what we have used on you before." Christopher felt numb.
"On the bed" the doctor commanded the Orderlies.
"Now Christopher" he began as the old man lay face up staring fearfully at the ceiling. "There is hope for you, hope in the Lord and prayer to the Lord. The other doctors and I have decided on a plan for your treatment, with the trepanation as a last resort. We have sent for a priest and he is to preform an exorcism. It is here in Hellesdeon that we are attempting to unite the divine with the scientific, under strict guidance from the church, of course." The doctor spat the last words as if repulsed by the vote to acknowledge the presence of the church within the walls of medicine.
"Doctor, he's here." An orderly gingerly opened the door and the priest walked in brandishing his crucifix. "Doctor, are you, or are you not a man of God?"
"I am a man of medicine."
"Please leave, may God save your soul with his good graces."
The doctor left the room and slammed the door behind him. The priest stood over Christopher;
"Good Morning my son. Today is a day of God, together, with his grace, we will exorcise the demons that have come inside you. First, I will baptise you." The priest took a small bottle of holy water from the inside of his robe and baptised Christopher. "The father, the son and the holy ghost" he crossed himself and looked into Christopher's eyes "you need not fear, the spirit of God is strong within me." He stood back and placed his palms face down over Christopher.
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the eyes of God, I command you exit the body this man and leave him to peace." The priest heard the demons laugh deep within his skull, Christopher clenched his eyes shut. The priest began again "Jesus, I ask that you create passage for the demons dwelling inside Christopher Woods to leave on their own accord and be accepted into your arms." Nothing. The priest pressed one hand down on Christopher's chest and another on his abdomen, then began to loudly pray to God and worship his Holiness as he aimed his head to the sky.
Christopher woke in Leonardo's bed with a start. Sitting bolt up right his chest burned and he was out of breath. Sweat dripped down his face and he shifted himself around to lean against the wall. The cool was welcoming. As he regulated his breathing, his ears strained to hear footsteps outside his bedroom.
"Hello?" His voice was gruff and weak "who's there?" the footsteps stopped and were followed by a timid knock.
"Good evening sir, it's Leonardo, can I come in?"
"One minute." Christopher responded as he climbed from the bed and hurried to dress himself.
Leonardo stood at the door holding a low burning candle as Christopher opened it and welcomed him in.
"I thought you'd be asleep at this time" he said, not knowing what time it was.
"It's hard to sleep in my sisters room. And… I've been thinking about the conversation we had earlier."
"And what is that you've been thinking about?"
"When you spoke to father about me, that is how he always reacts. Unless I am to be like mister Da Vinci, he has no interest in me. I do not want to take after him, I want to be a poet. Like the great Lord Tennyson" the boy beamed as he finished the sentence.
"And you can be a great poet" Christopher answered him hesitantly. "If you work hard and persist, you can be a great poet. Would you like me to talk to Harry?" Leonardo climbed onto the bed.
"What do you do?"
"Sorry?" Christopher's attention had lapsed as he fought off the torrent in his mind.
"What do you do? Are you an artist? A poet? A writer? An actor? Are you like father?" Christopher considered his answer for a long time. He was an artist. He used to be an artist. Now he did not remember. His works had not been seen by any save himself and the boy's father.
"I am a -" he stopped and cut himself short a patient at Hellesdeon? What are you thinking? "I am a" he began again "I am a puppet maker." Leonard's jaw dropped open and then slithered into a smile that creased his eyes. The gaps in his teeth made those remaining look like fangs.
"A Puppet Maker!" he exclaimed.
"Quietly, quietly" Christopher urged him.
"Are you able to show me? Can you? Can you? Please?"
"I am sorry. I can't. I do not have any puppets." The boy's face sank into the shadows. He pulled himself further onto the bed and look disillusioned. Christopher remembered his socks Of course! He lifted his right foot and lay his leg across his knee then removed the sock.
A puppet, a puppet! Why did I choose puppet maker? What was wrong with Blacksmith? Think Christopher. He looked up at Leonardo and the candle flickered put your hand in the sock and move your thumb towards your fore finger, then away from it. Up and down. Speak. Move it, and speak. There was another voice in his head and for the first time in five years he did not question its wisdom and did as he was told.
"Hello there!" the sock puppet burst into life and Leonardo crawled forward on the bed, toward the last of the light. He was smiling again.
"I am Da Vinci, not the artist, or the genius, but the sock puppet. Da Vinci Sock, is my name. I am here to tell you, that although the man I am named after, is greater than I could ever be. It does not stop me from being the best sock puppet I can be! In fact, I draw inspiration from his greatness in order to make myself better and stronger!" Christopher moved the sock puppet around the candle he now held in his right hand. The shadows tango'd on the walls and Da Vinci the sock puppet danced with them.
"I am Da Vinci, the great sock puppet" he sang. Leonardo beamed. He lay on his back and held his stomach which ached with laughter. "I am Da Vinci the great sock puppet!" he sang alongside Christopher who guided the puppet in an awkward dance around the flame.
"Do you know?" Da Vinci said, "what the greatest sock puppet needs?"
"What's that?" Leonardo asked.
"He needs lots of sleep if he is going to be great. Da Vinci the genius slept a lot."
"Da Vinci is always asleep!" the boy caught the joke and his wit surprised Christopher.
"Who wants to be great?" Da Vinci the sock puppet asked.
"I do! I do!" the boy cried.
"And what do you need?"
"Lot's of sleep!" he almost bellowed, then remembering the time of night, cut his words off. Leonardo pulled himself onto his knees and wrapped his arms around Christopher "thank you for letting me meet Da Vinci, the great sock puppet! Can he play tomorrow?"
"We'll see, we'll see. Now, off to bed!" Christopher gave the boy the candle and he listened as he walked down the hallway. Then, removed Da Vinci the sock puppet from his hand and replaced him on his foot. Harry peered out of his bedroom door and down the hall. The sound of the two laughing had woken him and he waited until Leonardo returned to his sister's room before he retired back to his own bed.
Christopher passed the night immersed in nightmares and curled into the fetal position. When woke he was still in is clothes and Da Vinci the great sock puppet lay half off his foot. Harry had lain awake for an hour after he'd watched Leonardo leave Christopher's room. Leonardo, spent the night sitting on the edge of his bed. The sleeves of his bed clothes rolled up to the elbow and burning a trial up his forearms with the candle. The physical pain no longer made the twelve year old boy cry and by dawn he had completed his ritual enough times to start the day. Christopher, Harry, Maria and Leonardo's sister, Constance, breakfasted at the large table on the second floor of the house. Their feast was exquisite. Leonardo, in long sleeves, Harry skeptical of Christopher and Christopher tormented by his thoughts and bothered by his concerns for the boy, did not speak. Each of them feigned interest while Constance told the table of her dreams and her plans for the day. The monotony of chewing had begun to dawn on Christopher when Maria spoke.
A welcome reprieve from the silence and the little girl's tales she placed her tea on the table;
"Christopher, Harry and I have a lunch with Oliver Swanbourne, he sent a message this morning to inform us of a great break through he and Alfred have made-"
"Uncle Oliver!" Leonardo and Constance chimed into the conversation.
"Yes Uncle Oliver, now, quiet you two." Maria's tone was disturbingly different to the night before. She was a strong woman and Christopher sensed a hint of shame in her asking for help. From an ex-patient at Hellesdeon, nonetheless.
"You would like me to mind the children?" His voice was warm and sailed across the table. In that moment, Maria's unconventional beauty had struck him and he was prepared to assist with anything.
"Yes, I would appreciate that immensely" she became relaxed and her eyes smiled.
"I would love to mind them for you, it is the very least I could do." You aren't capable, you can't watch over them without getting it wrong! Christopher pushed his fingers to his temples and shut his eyes.
"Are you alright, old friend?" Harry's voice took them all by surprised. It was the first time he'd spoken since he had sat down to breakfast.
"Yes, I'm fine. I have head pains. They are a side effect of the whisky on a non drinker!" He laughed then scanned their faces they have bought the lie, perfect. I will help Maria.
"Very well, have some more toast." Harry passed the plate of toast to Christopher and then fell back into silence. They ate their beans, potato cakes, toast, sausages and bacon and drank their coffee without a word. Constance left her meat and he mother looked toward her with understanding and wishful eyes. She too had pushed her's aside and hoped Harry would not notice.
"Mummy?" Constance broke the silence. Their was a collective sigh of relief.
"Yes darling?"
"How long will you and daddy be gone?"
"Only a short while, just for lunch."
"Can Leonardo and I come with you? Please?"
"I'm sorry darling, you need to stay here with uncle Christopher. Uncle Swanbourne wants to tell us about his work."
"At the hospital?"
"Yes at the hospital."
"Oh-" Christopher stood as the word hit his ear drums and raced through his mind. He pushed his dinning chair away from the table.
"Thank you." The knives and forks of each of the plates had been laid side by side and Christopher began to stack them on top of his own.
"Christopher, please, don't. We will have the servant tend to the table." Maria motioned for him to place them back down. They never refer to him by name, why is that? He is treated like a patient.
"Come" Harry stood "let us have a post breakfast cigar, then Maria and I shall be on our way, it is a long drive." Christopher followed Harry out onto the balcony and Maria took Constance into to the bathroom, where she bathed while the men smoked. Leonardo was distant while he walked, unnoticed, to his room.
Do, I tell him about last night? Does he realise, just how much Leonardo needs his father's affection? Christopher's mind raced as he took the cigar from in between the fingers of his friend.
"Christopher, Maria and I greatly appreciate you minding the children. The servant will be here at all times should you need his assistance. Also. I am sorry for the mention of the hospital, I imagine it stirs many emotions, it was an honest slip of the tongue and were Maria here, she too would apologise."
"It is forgiven Harry, I too am sorry. I should not have responded the way I did."
"Never mind that. Oliver, is a friend of mine. We met while you were in the hospital. He does not work with the insane, but with the physically ill. He has recently made a break through with a new medicine, one that numbs a patients pain. Unfortunately, he would not say any more than that in his message. I have funded a large portion of his research. It is difficult to open people up to new ideas and dangerous to introduce them to ideas in progress. Because of this, he informs me of his latest discoveries and we discuss how to proceed. It has been many months since we've last heard from him and I began to fear he'd not been making any progress, or worse, had given up. He-"
"Harry?" Maria stepped onto the balcony. Harry's cigar had burned away and he flicked the butt of it into the garden below him. Exasperated Maria sighed. Harry ignored it.
"Constance has been bathed and Leonardo is certain that he does not need one. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to tell him other wise. It is time we left." Maria turned to Christopher but he spoke first;
"I will talk to him" he said and smiled.
"Thank you Christopher. We will be home before this evening, I'm sure Harry has told you all you need to know." She took her husband's hand in hers and led him back inside. Christopher followed. Maria gathered her two Children on the front steps of the house and Christopher stood behind them as their parents climbed into the waiting hansom and they waved them off.
Christopher sat on the balcony with a tea in his hand and a book on his lap. Constance sat opposite him, leaning forward and listening attentively.
"Thank Heaven! The crisis
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last
And the fever called "Living"
Is conquered at last."
Christopher read Poe's poem "For Annie" stopping momentarily to sip his tea.
"Sadly, I know
I am shorn of my strength,
And no muscle I move
As I lie at full length
But no matter! — I feel
I am better at length."
Constance sat enthralled by the sounds of the words as they rolled effortlessly from Christopher's tongue, the rhythm hypnotised her. He stopped for a moment.
"Please Christopher, please continue!" He smiled at the little girl and began again;
"And I rest so composedly,
Now, in my bed,
That any beholder
Might fancy me dead–
Might start at beholding me,
Thinking me dead."
He opened his mouth for the first letter of the next stanza and a gunshot rang out across the garden. Constance stood with a start, but Christopher's soft eyes calmed her. Where did that come from? The horse's stable? That bloody servant. I bet he's killing birds again.
"It's okay my dear, it was just the servant, he must be shooting birds in the garden."
Another gun shot rang out.
"You see?"
"BBBut… the servant isn't allowed near daddy's gun." Christopher froze. He could hear a set of footsteps descending the internal stairs on their way to the lower balcony where he sat with Constance. The servant burst through the door, his eyes wide and his face sheet white.
"Leonard…Leonardo! I… I can't find him sir!" Christopher's blood was now running cold through his veins and his heart beat like a block of ice. He started from his chair and dashed through the door. Constance and the servant were in tow.
"Leonardo! Leonardo! Leonardo!" he called as he ran through the house. He stopped at his bedroom door and breathed for a second. He imagined the boy on the bed laughing at Da Vinci the sock puppet and then imagined the boy that stood in the shadows of his father's eyes. He opened the door. The room was empty. He flew down the hall to Constance's bedroom and opened the door. Empty. The servant placed his hand on Christopher's shoulder as he stood in the door way.
"He is not inside sir, I have checked." This was the second time the servant had spoken since Christopher had arrived and his accent was thick, though he could not place it.
"This way." The Servant led them down the stairs and out the front door. They staggered onto the gravel; each of them gasped for breath. Christopher spun round. Constance! She was behind him, curled over gasping, her cheeks hot with tears.
"Take her inside."
The servant hesitated;
"Now!" He cut him off. The servant took Constance by the hand led her back up the steps. She was sobbing too hard and was too out of breath to protest. Inside the servant telegrammed Harry and Maria.
Christopher scanned the front gardens stable, stable, stable, it must be here! His search turned up nothing. He turned and made for the back of the house. Once the stable was insight, he froze. His heart stopped. The door was open. The horses were in the garden. "Leonardo!" he made for the stable. It was larger than he'd anticipated. The front door gave way to an open area. On the left side, were three small bays, on the right side were three more. The expansive room was dark and the hay on his feet was disconcerting. He scanned the walls Lantern, lantern, lantern… There! He rushed into the first bay on the left and took the lantern from the wall. He fumbled in his pocket for matches. None. He looked at the switch on the lantern Gas? Yes, how? He turned it and gas began to leak from the chamber in to the air. Matches! Where? Christopher searched frantically, his eye caught a work bench in the center of the stable. He dropped the lantern. He squinted to the dark contents, searching, searching, searching. Nothing. Wait. Yes, matches! Matches in hand he came back to the lantern on the floor of the first bay, lit the match and brought it to the lantern. The gas exploded in a ball of fire. Christopher fell onto his back and lay in the hay with the image of the fire ball scorched on to his eyes. His singed fingers burned and his heart raced. He closed his eyes and clenched a fist. His palms were burnt and he whimpered in pain. The wooden floorboards on his back, beneath the thinly layered hay, were comforting. His mind took him back to the wooden bench in Hellesdeon. His back ached and it distracted him from his burns. The cold outside and the dampness of the ground restored his sense of normality. He breathed deeply and slowly.
The air round him was thick, as was the air in his room in Hellesdeon. He lay in blissful silence and considered the time. It must be midnight the lamp above his door lit only the immediate area, and although he could not leave, it acted as a night light. He closed his eyes and for a moment he slept. His dreams were peaceful and he rested easily. He dreamed of his mother and his childhood, a normal childhood. He dreamed of the family holidays and of growing up with Harry, before the screams cut in. He tossed and turned and squeezed his eyes tighter, but still they came. Louder, louder. He turned his face into the wooden bench below him and still they came. Louder, louder. He opened his eyes and pressed his hands to his ears and gritted his teeth. Now he was awake, they grew louder. Louder, louder. Like tormented souls in the grasp of satan the screams would not relent.
"Leonardo!" he screamed and sat bolt up right. His hands burned and his vision was blurry. Christopher steadied himself against the side of the bay and staggered into the center of the stable. Where are you? "Leonardo!" he called again. Still he could not see the back of the stable. He rested for a moment and gained his bearings. "Leonardo?" His panic had reached a climax and hot tears welled in his eyes. He walked with his arms out stretched and found the end wall in the darkness. Then stepped on something. It was small, cylindrical and fleshy. He felt the length of it with his foot, slowly and gently. At the end was a shoe. Christopher moved his hands down the wall and came into a head of hair. Then further. He could feel the boy's eyes, his nose, his mouth.
"Christopher!" Harry's voice called from the front of the stable. Christopher stepped back and Harry and Maria hurried forward. The light from the lantern cast its self on Leonardo. The boy sat with his head against the wall and his legs outstretched. Propping his head up, was the barrel of his father's rifle, the butt of which rested in the hay in front of his lap. His hands had fallen to his sides and there was a bullet lodged in the wall three quarters of an inch away from his right ear.
"Leonardo! My son!" Maria fell to her knees in front of him and pulled him to her breast. Before Christopher could speak Harry had turned the rays of the lantern onto him and plunged his grieving wife into darkness. His eyes were no longer hazel, but burned a deep red. His jaw was clenched and his knuckles were white around the handle of the lantern, extended at arms length.
"You!" Harry screamed at Christopher.
"No. Harry help Leonardo, please, Harry!" Maria wailed and ripped Harry back into the present. His anger evaporated.
"Help me with him" he leaned down to his mourning wife and she lay her son on his back on the hay "we need to carry him." Leonardo's parents stood over him. Then Christopher stepped forward and placed his hands beneath Leonardo's back.
"I will carry him." There was no protest from the other two and Christopher picked Leonardo up and held him close to his chest as Harry led the way with lantern.
The hansom carrying Leonardo's body pulled through the gates of Harry's mansion. A door slammed shut inside the house and an empty whisky glass sailed through the air, narrowly missing Christopher's head.
Harry seethed, he was yet to cry. Christopher stood with tears burning his cheeks. The shattered glass had hit the wall only inches from the top of his head. Harry was drunk. He drank long from the bottle in his hand then picked one of his hunting knives from the table in his study.
"You killed my only son!" He cried launching himself toward Christopher. He side stepped and Harry drove the knife handle deep into the wall. He pulled out and turned again toward Christopher.
"You only had to look after him!"
"You only had to love him!" Christopher retorted, the words hung in the air. Harry fell to his knees. The bottle landed beside him and drained onto the rug.
"I did love him! I adored him! He was to be great, he was my favourite and yet. Why Christopher? Why?" Harry's moment of clarity was short lived.
"I saw him! I saw you! It was you! You killed him!"
You did it, it was your fault the voices tormented him.
Harry continued;
"I saw him leaving your room, you must have hurt him! Why was he there? You were the only person to be alone with him and now he is dead! Satan is within you! They have not cured you, the demons control your every action. It was you, it was!" Harry was now on his feet.
"But Christopher, why? Why would you kill my beloved son? Was it? That you do not have one of your own?"
"I didn't!"
"Spare me, your words are poison and they will not be spoken within this house!" Harry lunged again at his adversary. Christopher fell off balance and the knife cut through his clothes.
"You must believe me!"
"I believe no demon! You are possessed! You are a murderer! You are possessed! You are not cured! Back! Back! Back!" Harry had become maniacal.
"Back you will go! Yes, Yes, Back! Or into the pits of hell! You are a child murder! A rapist! A demon! God shalt not have mercy on your black soul!"
"Harry no, listen I can explain!" Christopher was on his knees and Harry paced him like a lion.
"Explain how you killed my son! Then, yes, do! Explain!"
"I didn't!" Harry lunged forward and placed the blade of the knife to Christopher's throat.
"They are coming for you, the doctors, to take you away until Satan himself comes for your life!" In a moment Harry had exploited Christopher's greatest fear, more than death. Hellesdeon.
"Tell me Christopher! And I'll let you go, give you a head start before I come after you with the dogs. If I find you, I will kill you, If the doctors find you, back! Back! Back! To Hellesdeon!" The madness had consumed him but Christopher could not see through his own fear.
"I..I!" he stopped, unsure of what to say. He hadn't killed Leonardo, had he? If Harry said it, it must be true. The un-bandaged burns on his hands were raw and the skin had peeled away. Had he hurt himself trying to kill Leonardo? They had found burns on the boy's arms.
"Killed him." The two words fell like stones into a calm pool.
"How!?" Harry screamed only an inch away from his face. Christopher broke down. Almost inaudible between the sobs.
"I…tttook the ggun…and placed it between his legs…Thennn..I..bur..burr..burnt his arms to make it look like he did it himself. I…I.. Mmmade hhim ppull the tritrigger."
"In his room what did you say!?" Harry's hands were now shaking and he pressed the blade against Christopher's throat. It bit the skin.
"That you hated him and it would be better if he died!" he forced the last sentence out of his throat in a scream. The back of the knife's handle connected with his temple and all went black.
Christopher Woods woke on the side of the street. His right pocket had coins in that were wrapped in a piece of paper. His clothes were dirty, his head throbbed and blood had crusted on the side of his face. There was pain in his chest that grew in intensity with each deep breath. He opened the paper and read it aloud: "You have twenty minutes. I'll be watching. Don't let them find you! Three o'clock." Christopher read the note again. Then scanned the horizon for big ben. He was in a city, but which city? Where? His scanned turned up nothing. He stood and stumbled, then placed his hands on the building in front of him and breathed deeply. What had he said? Run? Don't let them find you? I'll be watching? "Leonardo! No!" He screamed into the street around him and the cat stalking the pigeons was frightened off. He stumbled down the street with one hand clutching his chest as his breathing grew more laboured. The other held the gash on his head. A clock chimed mockingly in the distance. Was that ten or twenty? He thought to himself as he staggered on. The palms of his hands were still raw and more skin had peeled away. He rubbed his eyes. Breathed deeply. And continued staggering through the streets. As each footstep passed he became further and further and panicked. His head snapped and he turned at the smallest sound. Pigeons flew from roof tops and Christopher pushed himself against the walls, slipped down alley ways and hid behind crates. All the while, he stared, captivated by the sky that spanned endlessly above him.
The woman laid out her hands and the man filled her palms with coins.
"If you get this wrong. I will kill you." The woman laughed and bared her naked gums and rotting teeth. She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again.
"You know exactly what you are to do?" She grinned.
"Repeat it back to me."
"Do you want me to do this job or not?"
"Then out, get out! Go!" she shooed him away with her hands. Exited the room and climbed the stairs. Upstairs she placed the coins in three neat stacks on top of a bedside cabinet. She undressed, then strode to the wardrobe on the other side of the room and took out another outfit.
"Henry?" she screeched.
"Yes ma'am?" a voice came from downstairs.
"Up here, pen, paper, hurry!" Within moments the boy was upstairs with a fountain pen and a sheet of paper. The woman took it from him, then wrote a note on it and passed him a stack of coins. "These are for you, deliver this note to Hellesdeon Mental Hospital."
"Thank you ma'am." He turned to leave.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry ma'am." He returned to the old woman and took her mouth in his.
"That's my boy. Now, go!" he turned and left the room.
The old woman pulled the door shut behind her and placed her hands beneath her robe. Then she turned to onto the street and into the crowd, with a song on her lips, she sang his name "Christopher, Christopher, Christopher."
She did not walk for long amongst the alley ways, the mud, the excrement and the lepers and homeless before she came across a man that fit her description.
"Hello son!" Christopher's head turned a near 180 degrees as the woman approached him from behind. "My! You're hurt!" her eyes were disarming and her demeanour was maternal. When she extended her hand, Christopher took it and her palm was warm in his. With a long finger she stroked the crusted blood and looked deeply concerned. This will be easy she thought to herself.
"Come with me dear, I will clean your cut." She dragged her palm from Christopher's and he winced in pain. She looked down at the burnt hands exactly as he'd described. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" her facade cracked for a second "come with me, I can bandage your hands as well.And help with the pain in your chest."
How could she know that? His head spun.
"Are you a doctor?" Christopher asked.
She thought back to the conversation she'd had with the man.
"No, I am a mother. A mother of five in fact. They have all moved away now." She looked sad and Christopher, distressed and tormented by the voices said "thank you, I would very much appreciate that." The woman smiled and took him by the hand, then led him down through the streets she had come from.

River Run Recap
I was on an all day high. It was just a great day to be out running 13 miles. I ran my goal time of 1:55. Best was last few miles much faster pace than first 10 miles. Nothing wrong with that.
Park was beautiful, weather was fine for runners, people very nice. Now if we could do something about that bus ride at the end. Next year I may ride my bike back to the start. Mark - are you up for that?

I'm a child of the '80s. I was 6 when ARAH showed up on store shelves in 1982. By 1990, when the original Bullhorn figure was released, I was in my early teens and not thinking of Joes anymore. The original figure was pretty solid. Nice muted military colors, an interesting backstory, a new specialty (Intervention Specialist) and a great compliment of accessories made Bullhorn a great addition to any collection.
Unfortunately, Hasbro hasn't revisited this character since 1990. The only other version of the character was released by the Gi Joe Collector's Club in 2008 for a Convention exclusive. This is when I took notice of the character and rediscovered the original.
He has been on my to-do list of customs for a year or two now. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the proper combination of parts to make him cool enough to get beyond the assembly stage. A couple of weeks ago, I finally slapped together the right recipe. Add a litle paint (quite a bit actually) and here is my ''30th Anniversary'' version of Bullhorn.

Instrument Collection Checklist
Harpsichords and pianos that were in the Carolinas from the 18th to mid-19th centuries tell the stories of the people who sold, bought, repaired, played, taught on, and listened to these instruments, interweaving information gleaned from newspaper advertisements, personal accounts, and material artifacts. In doing so, our inaugural exhibit demonstrates how the various historical factors shaped the development and cultivation of music in the Carolinas.

Frozen puff pastry is one amazing invention, if you ask me! Very few of us have the time to make puff pastry dough and being able to grab a box at the supermarket and make delicious tarts and desserts in a cinch is truly a blessing!! SWEETTABLESCAPES is forever grateful!!
Here is another great recipe calling for just such a frozen puff pastry: Chocolate Caramel Pecan Tart (straight from Martha Stewart!!)
You'll need:
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from one 14-ounce package), preferably all-butter, thawed
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Coarse sanding sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
- Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
- Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unfold dough on lightly floured parchment. Roll out into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle, about 10 by 15 inches. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Fold edges in to form a 1-inch border. Pierce bottom of shell with a fork. Brush border with egg wash; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
Bake shell until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Press down on bottom with an offset spatula to flatten (leave border puffy). Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, occasionally washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, swirling pan occasionally, until caramel is dark amber, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Gradually add cream (caramel will steam and spatter). Add butter and chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. Pour filling into tart shell and spread to cover bottom. Sprinkle with pecans and salt. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes; serve with whipped cream. Tart can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.

93.3 The Peak FM kicks off our pre game show at 7:15pm, 15 minutes before every scheduled puck drop.
Our pre game show consists of interviews with coaches from both teams, line up changes,starting line ups (when available) and any other pertinent information.
We will almost always catch up with a Bulldog player for an interview during our first intermission show, and our second intermission interview ranges anywhere from another coach or play by play throughout the league and the ever popular "alumni interviews" from former Bulldog players who have moved on.
Of course we'll have scoring summaries and stats from the game and scores and stories from around the league too.
We always welcome your emails to the broadcast booth to let us know you are listening or to provide feedback, information, concerns, questions, compliments, etc etc.
To drop me a line, EMAIL ME HERE
To listen to the broadcasts in the Alberni Valley, tune your radio to 93.3 FM.
To listen to the broadcasts anywhere else in the world visit our website at www.933thepeak.com and click the LISTEN LIVE link to get our internet stream. OR go to the league website at www.bchl.ca and follow the links there.
The league offers a pay-per-view video broadcast which is great for fans to watch the games they can't make.
The only drawback of the videocasts is that you can only get the HOME BROADCASTER, not the away broadcaster, due to technical limitations.
Trust me if you do elect to listen to me when the Dogs are on the road, I will paint the picture for you like you were watching it anyway.
I take great pride in making the listener "see the game" I realize that I am your eyes and I try to make your ears see through mine at the rink.
My play by play is very directionally descriptive. Its my goal to make you know not only who has the puck, but WHERE they have it.
I will mention at the start of each period which way each team is travelling. I have had people - even very smart hockey people - ask me WHY I do this.
The answer - how do you know which is the LEFT and which is the RIGHT for each team if you don't know which way they travel up the ice?
Hopefully this provides some insight into why I call the game how I call it, and how serious I take my job of bringing the game to you!
Can't wait for tonight.
Kevin Ross is my first intermission guest.
Victoria Grizzlies play-by-play man Scott Didmon is my second intermission guest.
I'm hoping to have Nolan Graham on the pre game show, along with Kings Coach Kent Lewis. I'm also hoping to get some post game comments from New Assistant Coach Paul Esdale too.

A study of cloud classification with neural networks using spectral and textural features
MetadataShow full item record
The problem of cloud data classification from satellite imagery using neural networks is considered in this paper. Several image transformations such as singular value decomposition(SVD) and wavelet packet (WP) were used to extract the salient spectral and textural features attributed to satellite cloud data in both visible and infrared (IR) channels. In addition, the well-known gray-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) method and spectral features were examined for the sake of comparison. Two different neural-network paradigms namely probability neural network (PNN) and unsupervised Kohonen ...

One of Pope Francis' main cardinals – who oversees Vatican offices addressing issues such as environmental pollution, climate change, health care, charity, immigrants and refugees on behalf of the Catholic Church worldwide – spoke in Fresno on Monday night about the importance of caring for the environment, "our common home," as a way to help humanity and better understand God.
Cardinal Peter Turkson said "care for creation" means that "we respect how we use our resources of creation but also how we pay attention to the needy, the fragile, the poor ones, in our midst" during an invitation-only presentation at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in northeast Fresno.
The cry of the poor and the cry of the environment are not inseparable.
Cardinal Turkson
Turkson was invited to speak in Fresno by Bishop Armando Ochoa following the four-day Vatican-sponsored U.S. Regional World Meeting of Popular Movements in Modesto.
Turkson outlined key points in the pope's "Laudato Si: On Care of Our Common Home" encyclical, of which Turkson helped write the first draft. It got a lot of attention after its publication in summer 2015 for its mention of climate change as a threat, but Turkson sees it mostly as a social document.
"The cry of the poor and the cry of the environment are not inseparable," he said.
Turkson said Francis, in his first mass as pope, asked people to assume a role similar to Joseph in the Bible "of being a guardian and custodian – this time not of Jesus and Mary – but by being custodians of the Earth, of the environment." He said the pope considers the poor and the Earth to be the two most abused and neglected aspects of life in need of help.
Turkson spent his hour-long talk summarizing the encyclical, including:
▪ Pope Francis continued the teachings of other popes and consulted numerous bishops in his writing.
▪ Working together and dialogue – including between science and faith – can help create a better world, as does sympathy and a "sense of tenderness for creation."
▪ Changing attitudes requires motivation, which can come in the form of education and learning the importance of "ecological citizenship." Answering a question following his talk, Turkson encouraged people to do what they can to reduce carbon emission in the atmosphere.
Development also needs to be inclusive.
Cardinal Turkson
Turkson, originally from Ghana, became a cardinal in 2003. He currently heads the Vatican's new Department for the Promotion of Integral Human Development, which recently combined the efforts of four pontifical councils, including the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Turkson previously headed the council.
In an evening news conference preceding his talk, Turkson answered a range of questions, including about immigration. Turkson said Pope Francis has been personally involved in following and addressing the plight of immigrants and refugees around the world.
"Now with the present situation, with wars in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria, it's drawn a lot of people out. … So there is a lot of movement around the world, people looking for security, for safety, for better forms of living."
Turkson said the pope and Catholic Church urge people to help migrants and refugees by supporting them on their journeys, and by helping them upon their arrival to new lands. The cardinal said the Vatican has had an office that addresses migration since the 1960s but the church's work in this area has garnered more attention in recent years as people become increasingly displaced around the world.
"For the Christian Church and people of Biblical faiths, migration movement of people is very much associated also with the message of the Bible, from the time of the Exodus, from the flight of Mary and Joseph into Egypt, the displacement and the movement of people is very much part of the expression and formulation of the message of salvation," Turkson said. "So for us, it is not something that we throw away or condemn – it's something that always invited us to look for a deeper meaning and reason."
At the U.S. Regional World Meeting of Popular Movements in Modesto, Turkson read a letter from the pope during a keynote speech on Thursday to around 700 faith and community leaders from 12 countries.
"The grave danger is to disown our neighbors," Pope Francis wrote in his letter. "When we do so, we deny their humanity and our own humanity without realizing it – we deny ourselves, and we deny the most important commandments of Jesus."
Like Saint Francis of Assisi, let us give everything of ourselves: Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, let us sow pardon; where there is discord, let us sow unity; where there is error, let us sow truth.
A letter from Pope Francis, read at the U.S. Regional World Meeting of Popular Movements in Modesto
In his own remarks at the conference, Turkson reminded people that "Together we can face the challenges we've identified as exclusion."
"Solidarity means confronting the destructive effects of the empire of money … Let us seek for others the same opportunities we seek for ourselves," the cardinal said. "If we want security, if we want life, then let us give security to others, if we want opportunities, then let us give opportunities to others."
Turkson was to leave Fresno on Tuesday. His next stop is a seminary in San Francisco before returning to the Vatican.

From a post by Hans Noeldner on his blog Entropic Journal:
Having recently traveled from my home near Madison, Wisconsin to Pontiac, Michigan using rail as much as possible (Metra commuter rail from Harvard, Illinois to Chicago and thence Amtrak to Pontiac) it is clear to me that investments in rail-based transportation could yield substantial environmental and social benefits in this region of the United States – primary among them a massive reduction in automobile-centric sprawl. The synergy between rail transit and dense, pedestrian-oriented urban habitat is especially clear in the Chicago heartland. Her leaders – God bless them! – never allowed their transit system to collapse, much less be systematically dismantled by transit-averse business interests.
However, I am troubled by the various claims I've seen over the years regarding energy consumption and CO2 emissions per passenger-mile for trains/streetcars versus automobiles versus airplanes. Environmental organizations and sustainability advocates routinely assert that energy consumption for passenger rail is much "greener" than driving or flying. But Tables 2.13 and 2.14 in the Department of Energy's Transportation Energy Data Book #27 indicate that existing Amtrak intercity passenger rail is only 25% more efficient than the fleet average for cars; furthermore, Amtrak is only 18% more efficient than air travel!
Given the greater-than 80% reductions in GHG emissions we need to achieve in the coming decades, and given the fact that new CAFÉ standards mandate a 40% improvement in the mileage of cars and SUVs by 2020, efficiency gains from passenger rail of 18% to 25% seem paltry. Moreover, due to basic laws of aerodynamics, the efficiency of high speed rail (i.e. trains moving at 150-300 mph) will inevitably be less than trains moving at 50-100 mph. While I cannot recall the source at present, I am quite sure I have seen credible data within the last five years which indicated that Bullet Trains in Japan were no more energy-efficient on a passenger-mile basis than airplanes.
Of course the real issue vis a vis energy and CO2 is the practical potential for these transportation modes in the future, not the existing efficiencies of each as currently deployed. During the past half-century, aerospace companies (with lavish financial support from the Department of Defense) have pursued the most ambitious research and development programs by far of any "transportation" industry in the United States. Along the way, improvements in engines, aerospace materials, and aircraft designs have yielded astonishing increases in the efficiency of air transport (almost ten-fold). And even though they vigorously marketed absurdly inefficient cars in the '60's and then gas-guzzling SUVs and pickup trucks more recently, automobile companies also made notable investments in R&D during the same time period; consequently the energy efficiency of engines and transmissions were substantially improved (it is the sheer size and weight of SUVs and pickup trucks which make them gas hogs, not their drive-trains).
Meanwhile, passenger rail locomotives and rolling stock in our nation changed very little even as ridership plummeted (until recently) and domestic engineering activity all but ground to a halt. Thus we must ask how efficient our passenger trains could be if they were constructed with aerospace materials, up-to-date engineering, etc. What if hybrid drives and regenerative braking were widely deployed? What if more trains were electrified? What if the expansion of electrified rail were coordinated with upgrading the national electrical grid? Having languished for so long, surely our passenger railroads are ripe for major improvements!

It might seem ironic to talk about a skills shortage when the economy is flat-lining and there are 2.5 million unemployed people. But my experience at Turbine says different.
I think there is a real skills shortage for the kind of technical skills required to build cutting edge applications like Turbine.
This may be apocryphal, but I heard that each year UK universities graduate more people from acting, film making, creative writing and other practical arts courses than are actually employed, in total, in the whole sector.
At the same time, we seem to produce far too few people with the kind of scientific, technical or programming skills needed in a modern economy. For example, in an 18-month study the Royal Society found that computing was taught badly in UK schools.
There are problems in higher education too with universities failing to teach in-demand skills. The UK produces 46,000 engineering graduates a year but needs 87,000. By some accounts, we produce 30,500 science graduates a year, including computer scientists, as against 100,000 unfilled IT jobs.
Technical skills and human skills
I think the problem is more than a numbers game. When I ran a software company in the nineties, with dozens of programmers on staff, the biggest challenge was not so much finding candidates – even in the boom there were lots of them – but finding people with the technology know-how and the personal skills to operate in a real business.
This year's hot programming language is next year's old news so we looked for people who had the initiative to learn new things on their own. Software development is not a job for solitary geniuses – it's a collaborative activity. So we looked for people who had some experience working on group activities or contributing to open source projects. Universities can do more to develop these essential business and life skills
Build vs. buy?
How do I solve these problems today with Turbine? Instead of hiring people to work in a London office as I did at Intelligent Games, I outsource the development to a fantastic team in Ukraine. They're highly-motivated, very talented and they have invested in the skills I need to build my application. For example, they are specialists in Ruby on Rails, an in-demand programming language and application framework and they use a technique called extreme programming which involves intensive group collaboration.
While Turbine does web development, design, marketing and support in the UK, we do no programming here at all. There are good development companies in the UK that can do this, but the scarcity of good local talent makes them very expensive.
Can the UK create world-class companies like Google, LinkedIn or Microsoft without also training enough people to work in them? Are we destined to outsource all the hard stuff like building things or writing code to other countries? If I'm exaggerating to make a point, these are important questions and we need better answers.

There are so many doctors from Europe working in UK and now they are considering to leave UK because of Brexit. According to a survey, thousands could leave in the next two years, plunging the NHS into a fresh staffing crisis.
There are almost 2,115 doctors from the European Economic Area (EEA), comprising the EU nations plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and found that 1,171 – 55 per cent – were thinking of leaving the UK, with the Brexit vote "a factor in their considerations".
It could have a huge impact on a health service which is already suffering staff shortages in some areas as there are for about 10,200 – or roughly nine per cent – of NHS doctors, according to NHS Digital statistics, if over half of them did leave the UK.
Almost 1000 doctors of the EU and EEA doctors added comments telling the GMC how they felt about Brexit and the impact on their practice.
"EEA doctors make a huge and vital contribution to health services across the UK. It's deeply worrying that some are considering leaving the UK in the next few years. If they leave this would have a serious impact on patient care and would place the rest of the UK medical profession under even greater pressure," said Charlie Massey, Chief Executive and Registrar of the General Medical Council.
Staff shortages appear to be most severe in areas that voted heavily for Brexit.
A Spanish consultant anaesthetist who had been resident in the UK for 27 years said this sense of uncertainty was heightened when he recently returned from a conference in France and was – for the first time in his life – stopped and questioned by border control about whether he lived in Britain.
He said "For myself and many colleagues this situation is unnerving, and although it's not something I want to do, I have to consider whether it's time to move to another country."

OAKWOOD — West Hall entered Friday's game knowing full well it could depend on its defense and special teams. What the Spartans wanted was an offensive spark.
Step forward Michael Thompson.
The West Hall quarterback had some help -- including an impressive touchdown catch from Jeremiah Prather -- but Thompson rushed for 133 yards and connected on two scoring passes to help lead the Spartans past Chestatee 28-14 in the two teams' region opener in Oakwood.
Thompson's 133 were part of a big rushing night for the Spartans, who rolled up 317 yards on the ground -- including 174 in the first half, as the Spartans (5-2, 1-0 Region 7-AAAA) pushed in front 21-0.
Cooper Adams hauled in a 12-yard scoring pass and Austin Sinclair ripped off a 29-yard touchdown run to help West Hall to a 14-0 first quarter advantage.
Thanks to a determined West Hall defense, the War Eagles (4-3, 0-1) could not get back into the game until late, as Chestatee rushed for just 65 yards in the first half. The War Eagles ended with 189 yards on the ground, including 72 yards on three carries for Christian Charles. But Charles' 60-yard scoring jaunt made it 28-7 with only 8:35 remaining. Nick Lyles added a 97-yard touchdown pass to pull within 28-14 with 3:13 remaining. But the Spartans were not about let their lead slip.
Chestatee will look to bounce back next week against Blessed Trinity in Gainesville.
West Hall travels to face Marist next week.

Earlier this year, our Stage 2 Outdoor Education class commenced a three-day bushwalking camp in the Gawler Ranges. All six students demonstrated their ability to plan and undertake the camp, during which we walked an enormous (but achievable) fifty kilometres.
The route plan took us through assorted terrain, including rocky surfaces, 4WD tracks, thick vegetation and varying gradients. Luckily, the weather consisted of clear blue skies and temperatures reaching 26 degrees. Although the camp was physically demanding for some, the whole class finished together with minimal injuries.
Our navigational skills were developed with compasses and maps needed to find locations and traverse the route without tracks or paths. We used different techniques to pinpoint our position and took bearings to figure out where we needed to go. Landforms were found on the maps and then orientated by examining the surroundings.
The camp featured many highlights, including conquering Mount Farview on the morning of the second day. The whole class did this together and took some stunning photos from the top of the mountain. One of more humorous moments involved our teacher Mrs Sherie Watson showing off her amazing selfie skills, bringing the class to tears in the process. Camp fun and games were needed to take our minds off the pain of various blisters, bruises and pulled muscles.
Overall, this camp was very successful; it provided valuable time for our small group to bond and form stronger friendships, and to improve our navigational skills.
~ Carly Gray (Year 12 Outdoor Ed student)

Are you familiar with TED talks? These are relatively brief presentations by thought leaders that stimulate, inspire, and encourage. At the Annual Fall Gathering of the AlabamaCooperative Baptist Fellowship yesterday, one of the breakout sessions was titled "CBF Meet TED: Inspiring Stories from and for Our Movement." Hosted by Chris Aho, the session featured three short presentations to stimulate, inspire, and encourage participants.
All of the presentations were helpful, but the presentation by Jamie Mackey, minister to students at First Baptist Church, Huntsville,Alabama, particularly caught my attention. Jamie identified the four ingredients of a healthy student ministry—relationships, Bible study, ministry, and fun—and explained their importance. He made some application to other types of ministry as well—senior adults, campus ministry, etc.
As I listened to Jamie's presentation, I realized that these are the ingredients for any effective Christian ministry. They apply in the local church, in community work, and in judicatories.
First, relationships are essential to healthy, growing ministries. The time invested in getting to know one another, telling stories, praying together, and sharing experiences provides a strong foundation for everything else that takes place.
Second, Bible study gives us not only a theological rationale for our work, but it also provides the images, language, and inspiration that sustain us when the going gets rough. There is nothing new under the sun, but the Bible shines its light on all of our experiences.
Third, I would define ministry here as the way we practice or live out our faith, especially in the world around us. Community and Bible study are not ends in themselves but result in changed lives that impact the place where God has put us. As God's people, what we do is not ultimately to benefit ourselves but others.
Fourth," fun" means different things to different people, but I think we can all agree that fun facilitates creativity, relief of tension, and a bit of mischievousness! What does this have to do with the work of ministry? No one is going to stay with anything very long if there is not a little fun involved. If we are too rigid, we stifle the work of the Spirit. Real innovation comes out of spontaneous, free-flowing experiences. All of us dread committee or team work where there is not a good balance of task and relationship. A little fun gets the creative juices flowing.
How does your ministry stack up to these criteria? Thanks, Jamie, for giving us something to consider.

1. TOC updates lost, and SSL lost, tooAmebr-ke0mH4 May 28, 2008 8:41 PM (in response to IncuityPAL)Is this the same issue as you posted in OK to use RH with Subversion ? You might want to add a comment to divert people to this post instead, so people can find the discussion.
I don't have Subversion myself, but I suspect the process would be similar. Hopefully someone with Subversion will correct anything that isn't.
First, I have had a couple of projects which haven't upgraded all files correctly when moving from X5 to RH6. It seemed to help when I checked out the project manually before opening it in the newer version of Robohelp.
As you say you are restoring an earlier version, possibly my original though about your issue wasn't correct. In this case, the following comments are our solutions to patching older versions of our help.
I've found that if you need to go to an old version of RH, or someone else has worked on the project since you last did, it's best to delete the CPD file, as it seems to store information about files, so if any have been added or removed, the changes may not show up due to this "cache".
Additionally, when you start to edit a topic robohelp will get the last version checked in. So if you want to work on an old version, it will automatically "get" the newer version when it checks out the file.
The process we use is:
1. Manually check out the entire project using SourceSafe. (this ensures RH won't try to checkout and get the latest file.)
2. Show History and Get the specific version we want to work on. (In VSS, we use the Label function for each version, as it seems to do a better job of getting all the correct files than working on dates.)
3. Delete the CPD file.
4. Open the project in RH.
If you then need to go back to the "newer" version, you have to do the same again, just getting the applicable version in step 2.
Possibly there is an easier or more efficient method, but this works for us.
Hope this helps,
2. Re: TOC updates lost, and SSL lost, tooBen Minson May 29, 2008 7:15 AM (in response to IncuityPAL)Hi,
You talk about rolling back to a previous revision and then losing some changes. Isn't that what happens if you go back to an earlier version? Or did you make the TOC and variable changes before you checked the project in on the 27th, and so those changes are what you're expecting to see in the revision you rolled back to?
Amber's suggestion to delete the CPD and then open the project in RH may be what's needed. There's info about doing that on Peter Grainge's site, grainge.org.

I admit I have been dragging my feet on this because it's a very ambitious DIY project.
Fingers crossed, let the waiting begin!

keeping cool under the air con, the garden will now have to fend for itself until autumn as i'll be awayDelete
Your plants look lovely! It's awesome that you're able to grow so many things where you are!ReplyDeleteReplies
it really has surprised me at how much one can grow in the sandDelete
Wow, well done for growing such plants in such a hot place. It looks lovely. xReplyDeleteReplies
thank you, it is hard work and a lot of trial and error and waterDelete
Great job on your plants. Our vegetable patch has been dug up by local cats and we are a bit gutted :( #triumphanttalesReplyDeleteReplies
oh dear that is such a shameDelete
Hats off to you. I can't keep anything alive in this country, let alone in the heat you have over there! Well done, it looks lovely. Thanks for joining #TriumphantTales, hope to see you back next week! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
sadly the garden is being left to go to seed now, just too hot to go outsideDelete
Like some other garden apparatus or gadget needs the garden hose must be put away appropriately for re-utilize. It ought to be twisted appropriately on a hose reel or station.

Local Roofer for Bear, Newark and Middletown DE
Call 302-273-1016
Roofing, Roof Repair & Siding
Our Service Area
Types of Roofs We Specialize in:
- Shingle
- Flat (Rubber)
- Cedar
- Tile
- Standing Seam Metal
Any new roof will require construction with a variety of roofing systems. They may include materials such as metal roofing; build up of a roofing membrane or single ply roofing such as asphalt. Tiger Roofing only works with proven products represented by quality manufacturers.
Services Include:
Roof Auditing
Our roof audits provide a baseline examination of your existing roof condition. Cost and durability will be provided, however aesthetics and architectural design are also important.
Asphalt Shingles
This type of shingle is the most commonly used for a steep sloped or pitched roofs because they offer the most economical and low maintenance alternative to products such as slate, wood shingle and tile roofing products. Tiger roofing offers a wide variety of colors, designs and several different manufacturers to choose from based on your needs. The nice thing about asphalt shingles is they can be organic, fiberglass or even mimic architectural slate or cedar shakes. Shingle roofs generally last for 20-50 years, however that all depends on the quality of the installation and the materials being installed. Asphalt shingles are also flexible enough to last in most weather conditions.
Asphalt Membrane
Asphalt membrane (aka roll roofing) is an inexpensive roofing material commonly used on buildings that have a sloped roof pitch. This material is basically the same material used in asphalt shingles. It is typically an organic felt or fiberglass mat that is saturated with asphalt and then faced with granular stone aggregate. It is much lighter than asphalt shingles because it must be rolled for shipment. Its uses are restricted to certain applications because of its design. It's an inexpensive, but temporary alternative to shingle roofing material. The wide width of this roofing material makes it vulnerable to temperature induced tearing as it expands and contracts.
Re-Roofing / Tear-Offs
When your roofing systems fail, it may be necessary to install a new roof. Your roof may fail because of a number of factors, including age, severe weather conditions, poor workmanship or installation of repairs, defective materials or improper specifications. A re-roof is done only if you have a solid roof structure and materials that are reaching the end of their life expectancy but not badly deteriorated. Most building codes will allow you to install a new layer of shingles over your existing roof. This is done primarily as a cost cutting measure and may not be right for every application. If you're looking for a better roofing system with a better warranty, a tear-off is almost always worth the added cost.
A tear-off is for a customer that has roof structure damage that is under the main roofing system. This could mean underlay decking, beams, rafters or roof insulation that has weakened or collapsed. A roof that already has 2 or more layers of shingles and cannot handle the weight of an additional roofing system is definitely a candidate for a tear-off. Be extremely careful and weigh your options for safety and structural reasons. If we deem it necessary for the above reasons, we will tear off your entire roof, replace the decking, beams, or whatever has deteriorated and install an entirely new roofing system.
Flat Roofs
A flat roof is a type of covering for a horizontal or nearly horizontal sloped or pitched roof.
Membrane Roofing for Flat Roofs
A flat roof or membrane roof is installed on low pitch or horizontal roofs. Membranes and synthetic rubber roofing compounds outperform tar and gravel roofing materials and make leak detection much easier. Membrane roofing materials are basically seamless and fight UV damage. Flat roof membranes are most commonly used in commercial applications, however have many residential uses as well. Materials that cover flat roofs, allow water to run off from a slight inclination or camber, basically into a gutter system. The water from flat roofs like on a shed sometimes just flows freely off the edge of the roof. Using a gutter type system has its advantages in keeping both walls and foundations dry.
Synthetic Membranes
Using synthetic membranes has pretty much eliminated the need for gravel on roofs. Most of the top performing materials are made from synthetic rubber roofing compounds. These are commonly referred to as EPDM or CSPE materials. These types of membranes work best where old rolled asphalt materials, hot mopped asphalt or even shingles were used before. One other advantage to this membrane is that many of the new products are actually glued down to the roof sheathing. They also come in widths of up to 50 feet and have materials built in that resist UV degradation. This membrane may be able to virtually cover your house with one piece of roofing material. No seams, no leaks.
