A/N: My first story in general, and my first one for Chuck. Updates hopefully will be weekly, but that is going to depend on how much paramedic school owns my life that particular week.
I do not own Chuck, much to my dismay, but if someone could make that happen please let me know.
Chuck vs. the Job
Chapter 1
Chuck Bartowski solemnly hung the last ornament on the Christmas tree as he listened to the soft ministrations of Christmas Carols by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This is the first Christmas in several years that he has had to decorate the tree alone and certainly the first where his mind was in so many different places at once. On the one hand he was missing his beloved sister Ellie as she was working a late shift at Westside Medical Center. Normally this type of activity was something the two siblings would do together, but unfortunately the hectic nature of an accomplished Neurologist and the insanity of Chuck's newfound life as a pseudo-secret agent have prevented any such chance. Chuck even spared a moment of longing for his (probably) soon-to-be brother-in-law Devon Woodcomb. This man who charmed his sister and in turn worked his way into Chuck's heart was missed just as much as his sister. After seeing how much Devon made his sister happy, Chuck happily welcomed this 'awesome' specimen to his family, and couldn't ask for a better partner for his sister.
Chuck's mind was going several different directions as he considered the events of the past few days. First and foremost, the kiss! That passionate, breath taking kiss that he had shared with his angelic CIA handler, Sarah Walker has not left his mind since the instant she began the kiss. That moment, so terrifying as he thought his life was ending, was also the best moment of his life as he finally shared a kiss – a real kiss – with the woman who was quickly beginning to mean so much to him. And mere hours after this moment of heaven-on-earth, his world took a nasty summersault as his former enemy Bryce Larkin returned from the dead.
Chuck mulled over the whirlwind of events that occurred since that particular revelation – being used as a human shield, finding Bryce kissing Sarah, seeing Bryce shot again by his other CIA handler John Casey (and yet still not dying), the shootout in the Buymore, being used as a human shield yet again in 24 hours, and finally the unimaginable pain of being shot in the Kevlar vest by Bryce himself. Well, Chuck mused, I was already stabbed in the back by the son-of-a-bitch; I guess being shot was only logical.
But then again, was Bryce a 'son-of-a-bitch?' After all, the recent recording he and Sarah viewed of Bryce's conversation with Professor Fleming back at Stanford showed that Bryce had been looking out for Chuck all along. No, Bryce was still his friend and always had been. Now that Chuck had that particular knowledge he would never wish his friend ill-will again. Despite that unfortunate debacle he now found himself in with Sarah, when you became friends with Chuck Bartowski, you gained a fiercely loyal friend for life.
With that satisfying revelation of his continued friendship, Chuck's thoughts moved to the subject of his current case of the winter blues – Sarah Walker, the goddess Aphrodite herself. From the moment Chuck's chocolate brown eyes locked with her sparkling baby blue's he knew he was done for. Growing up, Chuck had always been enamored with the idea of love at first sight, but was never sure that he actually believed in it. The idea certainly held a high amount of appeal to him, but the highly logical side of his brain scoffed at such a silly notion. And yet, the day that Sarah Walker fake-broke her cell phone, he knew that it wasn't such a silly idea after all.
But despite that undeniable fact that Charles Irving Bartowski – brilliant, expelled Stanford student and Intersect Extraordinaire – was in love with his CIA handler Sarah, he had never been treated as coldly as he had been by the very love of his life. Ever since he flashed on a counterfeit bill on Lon Kirk's private yacht (after the terrifying few hours where he wasn't sure if she was even still in his life or not), Sarah had not only been distant, she had been downright cold. I guess living in California, it is nice to feel a Christmas-appropriate chill for once, Chuck mused with a bitter smile.
Suddenly, Chuck's musings were interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. He put the box of ornaments down on the table and opened the door. His breath caught as he caught sight of the golden-haired angel that he simultaneously wanted to be with all night and yet not see at all.
"Ellie or awesome home?" Sarah asked without as much as a hello before she began entering the apartment.
"No," Chuck answered, closing the door. "They're at work, and hello to you too." Jerk. Chuck added in his head, immediately regretting even the silent insult.
"What the hell happened today?"
"I-I don't know, I don't get it. I had a flash."
Chuck could see the look of disbelief flash across Sarah's dark sapphire eyes before she answered as he once again marveled at how her gorgeous eyes changed with her mood.
"Right when I went below deck with Kirk. It's pretty convenient timing I would say."
Chuck furrowed his brow. "What are you talking about?"
Sarah's irritation began to bubble to the surface.
"Just when you thought that I was getting intimate with Kirk you decided to have a flash."
Chuck instantly felt his blood began to boil. How dare she! He didn't ask for this damn thing in his head but he'd like to think he was serving his country honorably. Other than not wanting to be thrown in a bunker (because that is such an overreaction to the situation?) he had gone along with every whim of the government and gone quite a bit out of his comfort zone as Nerd Herd supervisor. He was struggling to make the best of an impossible situation and she had the gull to insinuate that he was lying about a national security concern out of jealousy?
"What exactly are you in implying? That I faked a flash? That I'm a flash faker?"
"You know…I think we need to discuss the fact that you let your emotions get in the way today,"
"My emotions?" Chuck asked, shocked.
"Things have been a little off since the incident, Chuck."
Chuck began to see red. The Incident?
"Really? And what incident are you referring to, Agent walker, huh? Could it be the incident where you planted a kiss on me right before a bomb was supposed to go off, ending our lives? That same kiss right before your boyfriend Bryce came back from the dead, that kiss?"
As Chuck was saying this he watched the emotions in Sarah's eyes as she formulated her response. Anger – definitely anger – and another emotion, as yet unseen by Chuck. Was that fear? Chuck wondered.
"Stop saying kiss, it happened! Ok? What's done is done; can we just not talk about it, please?"
"Ok, fine, absolutely, of course! Just answer me one little thing." Chuck said, holding his forefinger and thumb an inch apart for emphasis.
"Chuck -" Sarah began before he raised his voice, cutting her off.
"Did you kiss me that night because you thought we were gonna die and mine were the most convenient lips around, or was it actually about me?"
Sarah paused with that same mixture of emotions in her eyes.
She took a breath and then proceeded to punch him in the gut – figuratively anyway.
"What happened was a mistake…"
Chuck felt the breath go out of him as Sarah turned and stormed past him.
"One I will not make again."
Chuck closed his eyes and waited, it was several moments before he remembered he needed to breathe. He realized he was in way over his head as the pain began to sear through his heart. If not for the emotional scene that just played out in front of him, he may have seriously begun to worry that he was having a heart attack at 25-years-old. Chuck looked sadly at the forgotten box of ornaments, and then walked to his room. On his dresser he held his mother's charm bracelet that he had hoped to give to Sarah in a few weeks for Christmas.
Chuck walked into the kitchen and grabbed his bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label – he had once been told by Casey that Black Label is the best remedy for a regrets, and of regrets he had plenty. He was sick of being shut down by Sarah, only to be given hope a few days later before having his heart brutally ripped out again. If she would have just stopped sending him mixed signals, he could deal with it.
No more, he thought. It was time to put up or shut up. The last few weeks, he'd been starting to consider the direction his life was taking. After learning that he was already being monitored for CIA recruitment, the idea had already been brewing in his head. He had always known that he was meant for more than just the Buymore, and now he had the means to change his destiny. It was time to become a spy, and give in to what he should have been doing with his life all along.
Chuck smiled as the surreal thought that had just crossed his mind. Now to convince the brass.
Chuck peeked out his blinds at John Casey's apartment across the courtyard – all dark. Better be sure, Chuck thought.
"Ronald Reagan was the absolute worst President that has ever lived, and he was a closet-communist." Chuck swallowed hard as he looked out at the courtyard, ready for the onslaught of bullets that would surely riddle his body if John Casey was home listening to surveillance feeds. All appeared safe, and furthermore he noticed Casey's beloved new Crown Victoria was nowhere to be seen.
"Just kidding, Casey, please no firearms in the courtyard." Chuck stated to the bugs.
Chuck opened his door and walked across the courtyard, remembering the many conversations he had had with Sarah near that fountain. He reached the door to Casey's apartment and took out the key he had given him for emergencies. Chuck opened the door and entered, feeling the immediate and irrational fear that the Ghost of Ronald Reagan was going to chase him from the home of his handler and friend. Chuck walked over to the complex set-up of computers that the NSA had provided the team, pressing the power button on the wall-mounted flat screen.
"Identity Confirmed – Charles Bartowski, Codenamed Charles Carmichael, A.K.A. 'Moron.'" A cool, electronic female voice stated.
"Really Casey?" Chuck fumed. The moron jokes were really starting to get old; he had a flipping 4.0 GPA at Stanford for crying out loud – prior to being expelled of course.
"Agent John Casey not recognized in the vicinity, activating emergency distress protocol."
Oh crap.
"No, no, no! No emergency here! Deactivate distress protocol! Everything's under control, situation normal. Everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine, we're all fine here, now, thank you…how are you?"
"Distress protocol deactivated, contacting Brigadier General Diane Beckman."
"Bartowski! What in the world is going on?" The general was lying in bed, her hair disheveled and a sleep mask on top of her head.
"Uhhhh good evening General…I was just wanting to talk about a few things but this may have been a bad time, I guess this could have waited till a more decent time. Not that you don't look decent right now, you look dapper as always but you clearly were asleep and everyone knows how important sleep is to prevent wrinkles. Not that you have –"
"Bartowski, shut up!" Beckman interrupted his babbling.
"Yes ma'am."
The screen split and Graham's face entered the left side of the screen, wearing some silk pajamas with a tumbler of amber liquid in his left hand.
"Any reason our homes are being bombarded with emergency sirens and 'distress signals?' What is it Bartowski, and where are Agent's Walker and Casey?" Graham asked, clearly annoyed but more amused by the General's disheveled appearance.
"Sorry Sir and Ma'am, I needed to speak with the both of you and Casey has a fail-safe on his computer for me being alone. I apologize." Chuck began in a respectful tone.
"Get on with it Bartowski." The General growled, but with a curious undertone now.
"Sir, Ma'am, I think it is time that I take a more professional approach to the intersect project. I feel I can be a benefit to this team if I take a more active role, and frankly I think the best way to do this is if I become a spy."
Chuck paused, looking at the two intimidating intelligence officers. He prepared to be yelled at, hung up on and reprimanded, but what he was not prepared for was laughter. General Beckman suddenly burst out into loud, raucous laughter and it was the most unsettling thing Chuck had ever heard.
"Mr. Bartowski, do you mean to tell me that you brutally woke me from my sleep to tell me a joke? Well I appreciate jokes as much as the next General, and that, I must say, takes the cake. Well done, Bartowski, I really needed that."
Chuck seethed. "General, I'm not joking, I'm serious! Director Graham?"
The Deputy Director of Operations of the CIA was the stark opposite of his NSA counterpart. He was stoic and thoughtful, and regarded Chuck with penetrating eyes as he took a long sip from his tumbler.
"Actually Diane, I was thinking much the same thing. But before I entertain this notion, I would be interested in hearing your reasoning, Chuck."
Chuck sat, stunned. First, he was stunned because the director had never, ever used his first name before. Second, he expected to have to argue for several minutes before any attempt at support was witnessed from either party. He decided if he was going to go behind Sarah's back, he may as well fully go behind her back.
"Well Director, it was several things. First, as the missions progress and I find myself in the field more, I feel it would be safer for myself, the team, and the country if I could hold my own instead of tying up my handlers to protect me. Furthermore, I…I've kept something from you. The Intel that Codename: Glass Castle had downloaded was indeed destroyed, but not before I was able to view some of the files." Chuck began. Going behind Sarah's back is not the same as betraying her and throwing her under the bus for hiding the Intel, he couldn't reveal that she was the one who destroyed the evidence. Especially since she did it to protect me.
Chuck took a breath before continuing. "The only file I was able to view before the disc was destroyed was a single entry under the name 'Chuck Bartowski.' The file was supposed to be an interview of myself with Professor Fleming as he attempted to recruit me; however Bryce prevented me from receiving his messages. The data showed that Bryce was planning on planting the stolen tests in my room, framing me to get me kicked out of Stanford so I wouldn't be recruited into the CIA. On the disk, Professor Fleming stated that I demonstrated 98% retention of the subliminal images in the exam and should be considered for Operation: Omaha. General, Director, what does that mean?"
The General was sitting up now with a serious and impressed look on her face as Graham let out a low whistle.
"It means, Bartowski, that you were intended to be the first human intersect all along. Operation: Omaha is the codename for the intersect project. After learning that the only individual to score high enough on the exam was caught cheating, it was determined that the intersect could only ever be a computer. Clearly, we were wrong," Beckman paused, looking at Chuck with a much softer scowl than she usually wore. "Graham, could we talk on a private line? Chuck, wait here."
The screen went blank as Chuck looked around; wondering what was going to happen. Suddenly the door slammed open.
"Moron! What in the hell are you doing here?" Casey was home.
"Heyyy Casey…I bet this looks kind of odd, huh?" Chuck laughed nervously as Casey looked at him with pure death in his eyes.
"Looks odd? Well it sounds a hell of a lot worse. You think I don't monitor surveillance when I'm not home? What exactly is that you had to say about our phenomenal 40th president?"
Casey emphasized his point by shoving the muzzle of his Sig P229 under Chuck's chin.
Chuck swallowed before answering, "He was one of the best and most progressive president's we have ever had?"
Casey grunted as he reengaged the safety on his sidearm.
"So…you think you want to be a man? You think you have what it takes to become a real spy, cover my back?" Casey regarded him thoughtfully, with a new grunt that Chuck classified as #22…grudgingly impressed?
"How did you know? Casey…do you bug your own home?" Chuck asked in astonishment. Casey just smiled a closed-mouth smile and shrugged. "Casey, one day we need to have a serious talk about your trust issues…and you definition of the word privacy."
Casey grunted again – #2, moron – and sat down at his table.
"You never answered my question. You think you can be a spy?"
Chuck paused as he considered his answer. "Casey, I need to do something with my life. I assume you already heard my reasoning to the General and the Director?" Casey Nodded.
"Then you know why I need to do this. This has always been my destiny, Bryce just delayed it. I'm tired of being left in the car while you and Sarah put your lives on the line for me. I'm sure you heard my conversation with Sarah in the living room, we can talk about that later as well, but she's not the only one I've come to care about, big guy. You may laugh, but I've come to consider you my friend, and my partner, and I…I need to do my part in this partnership."
Casey just looked at him after his speech before standing and walking to his kitchen. He came back with two tumblers of Johnnie Walker.
"I thought the Black Label was for regrets?" Chuck asked with a frown.
"This is Red Label, this is for celebrating. While I wouldn't say I am jumping for joy exactly, I'm proud of you kid. This is a huge decision…one you may not live through telling Walker about." Casey said.
"Why do you say that? She doesn't care about anything more than the intersect…and Bryce"
Casey grunted, #2 again. "If you believe that then you're a bigger idiot than even I thought."
Chuck just frowned some more as he took a swig of his drink.
The monitor beeped as the General and Graham came back online.
"Ah, Major Casey, I'm glad you're here," The General Began.
"Ma'am, Sir." Casey nodded to each in turn, as Graham raised his glass to the Major.
"Bartowski, after much consideration, we commend you on a tough choice. Be warned, this decision is not to be taken lightly. Major Casey will be able to discuss the decision at length with you, but if you decide to undertake the task, your training will begin immediately. Due to your highly classified situation, you will need to be extracted from Burbank and flown here, to D.C. for your training. Major, you may call in whatever resources you need to make this happen. Good luck to you both and goodnight."
With that, the screen went black once more and Chuck turned to Casey.
"Chuck, you need to really understand what you're getting yourself into. If you do this, you're going to have to do it all the way. That means no more screaming when you see blood, and you're going to be the one who draws some of that blood eventually. Walker and I can only carry you so far – "
"No, Casey. If I do this, I don't want Sarah to know. Things have been confusing enough between us lately, and I don't want her trying to talk me out of this. She would just freak out, and then make things more confusing for me. If I have any hope for surviving this, I need to become an agent and learn how to deal with this whole cover-relationship thing properly, cause right now it's killing me, man."
Chuck took another drink from his tumbler as he looked into Casey's thoughtful eyes.
"You know kid, I give you a lot of crap, but part of that is because you have taken one of the hardest agents I have ever heard of and flipped her on her head. I still think you should tell her, but that's your choice. For what it's worth, I think you're making the right choice in becoming an agent, I think this will help the both of you start acting like adults and maybe put an end to amateur-hour around here."
"Thanks Casey, you sure know how to give a pep-talk." Chuck smiled as Casey gave another grunt - #6, you're stating the obvious.

When you own a luxury car and it needs repairs, you have two options. You could either go to your regular mechanic, or you could go to a specialist. It's obvious that in any situation, going to a specialist almost always mean having to spend extra money, and this is why many people still entrust their regular mechanics to repair their luxury vehicles.
However, going to a specialist, like a Jaguar or BMW auto repair expert, has many key advantages that any prudent car owner will need to take under advisement.
A luxury car has many features that are absent in regular cars. These features were probably one of the main reasons why you bought the car in the first place. However, your standard mechanic may not know how to handle these parts or that they even exist.
If it's one of these special parts that need to be repaired, or you're repairing a part that has these unique features, a specialist will know what needs to be done.
Quality Spares
One of the main issues in the car repair industry is the presence of low-quality spares in the marketplace. When it comes to standard cars, a slight dip in quality may not be significant in the long run. However, the quality of the parts matters when it comes to luxury cars.
A specialist will be able to source the right brand of spares since they already know where to look or who to contact. This will ensure your expensive car isn't running on cheap parts.
Less Chance of an Expensive Mistake
There are many factors that can lead to an expensive mistake when a luxury car is being repaired:
- Using the wrong spare part
- Handling the parts in the wrong manner or using the wrong tools
- Improperly positioning the car during repairs
A luxury car repair specialist is less likely to make these mistakes because they already have a good idea of what they're working with.
Low Costs
It may seem strange, but it's quite possible to find specialists who will charge you less than your standard mechanic to repair a luxury car. The specialist might be able to procure parts at a lower cost since they're already known by the sellers, and they're also familiar with the supply chain.
Therefore, it may cost them less to get certain parts compared to your regular mechanic. The fact that they're less likely to make a mistake or use the wrong spares also means fewer visits to the mechanic.
For more information, contact a service such as Jim Stephen's Foreign Car Repair.

The iPhone 7 has only recently been launched, but all we seem to be hearing are the rumors about the 2017 iPhone.
Now technically speaking, the next iPhone should be called as the "iPhone 7S" but this doesn't seem to be the case this time. Instead the next iPhone is expected to be called as "the iPhone 8" or simply the "iPhone".
This is because 2017 will mark the 10th anniversary of Apple and the next iPhone is expected to have the biggest update till date. Now moving on, Apple will most likely launch 2 models of iPhone one with 4.7-inch screen and other one with 5.5-inch screen.
There are also rumors that Apple may launch the 3rd model as well with the 5-inch screen but this seems unlikely to happen. Now display-wise, rumors suggest that next iPhone could sport and edge to edge OLED display with no bezels and no home button.
It is also said the touch id sensor and front facing camera would be embedded into the display' and will not be visible to the naked eye. Now coming to its design, the next iPhone is expected to have the glass body instead of aluminum body. I personally think that with such display & design the phone will look absolutely stunning. Now inside the next iPhone we will most likely see Apple A11 chipset running on iOS 11.
According to some more rumors, Apple is likely to include the support of wireless charging in the next iPhone. Now coming to its release date, we can expect Apple to follow the tradition and release it in 2017.

We want our kids to get out of the house and jump into life.
Joining the economy is a great way to do it.
These kids made about $56 on that day and sold lots of refreshments to two young neighbours who were moving in down the road. Perfect.
Of course – the street is activated, neighbours get to know each other and the children learn new skills.
They learn about visual merchandising, dealing with strangers, mathematics, the thrill of the chase, dealing with disappointment, observing people's behaviour and working in a team.
And this all happened on their street, so no more long car journeys for the parents to a 'recreation area'.
No ones time is wasted and the city becomes a little bit better.

15 Dec What is the Retention Game Changer?
Is technology the Retention Game Changer?
There has been a lot of talk about how technology can assist a fitness club in retaining its customers. The question I ask you here is do you think technology is the retention game changer? I have asked this to a number of club owners and the responses have been mixed. There is no doubt that technology is aiding the retention war but can we say we are there yet? I am not sure that we can safely say yet that technology is the game changer that we want. There is hope though with new developments in the next few years we could see a very different picture. I also believe that many people will still need some level of human intervention to create the lasting healthy behavior of regular exercise. This is a problem for the industry because as technology increases you find that communication skills are decreasing and therefore levels of customer interactions are at a low.
Many fitness experts are saying that technology is the Retention 'Game Changer' – But is it? Technology certainly can play a big part in retaining customers but with so many types of new technology available it is difficult to analyse any data that supports this opinion. Most agree that it has the potential to be the 'Retention Game Changer' but in may not be quite there yet. One fact that may always be against it is that human interaction is a key ingredient to improve retention. Can technology replace this human interaction element in the future? Probably yes is the answer but not at this present time. At present the best ways of improving retention is through good technology that provides suitable and usable data and key interactions with customers.
What do you think about technology being the 'Retention Game Changer"? What technology is best for fitness club retention?

Trent Wade Lunsford passed away December 15, 2016. He was born September 16, 1976 in Mena, Arkansas to Terry and Sandy Lunsford.
Trent had a such a vivacious and charismatic personality, a contagious hunger for life and a gigantic, compassionate heart for others. He was skilled in construction, butchering, and craftsmanship. But it was through Trent's struggles, he gained his greatest calling. The call of ministry on his life was heavy and when fully surrendered to that call, he was operating in exactly who God created him to be. He was a student of, completed, and went on to work with, multiple ministries including Teen Challenge, an addiction and recovery ministry. The marks he left here with the many men he ministered to through his own testimony of trials and victories was one that extends way beyond this life and into the eternal and heavenly realms. He was cherished and loved by all that truly knew him.
He is survived parents, Terry & Sandy Lunsford; grandmother, Madine Lunsford; son, Ethan Winkley; brother, Troy Lunsford & wife, Ginger; sister, Trina Mitchell & husband Jon Mitchell; nephews, Trey Lunsford, Grant Mitchell and Callan Mitchell; nieces, Kaylee Lunsford and Wynn Mitchell.

How do I migrate my existing BPMN workflows after upgrading to IDM 5.5 or applying Security Advisory #201705?
The purpose of this article is to provide guidance on migrating existing Business Process Model And Notation™ (BPMN™) workflows in IDM/OpenIDM after upgrading to IDM 5.5 or applying Security Advisory #201705.
Migrating a BPMN Workflow
After upgrading to IDM 5.5 or applying Security Advisory #201705, existing BPMN workflows must be modified in order to to attach a scriptTaskListener to each userTask within the workflow. The scriptTaskListener must inject any required user input within the process context, making it available to other workflow stages.
The attached workflowScriptTaskHelper.xsl file can be used to assist with migration and will automatically transform basic BPMN workflows. Complex workflows or those which do not already include a userTask may require additional manual intervention:
- On Mac® OS X® or Linux®, you must execute the following XSLT script to migrate your BPMN files:
xsltproc workflowScriptTaskHelper.xsl path/to/your/project.bpmn20.xml | xmllint -format -
- On Microsoft® Windows®, the Microsoft Command Line Transformation Utility (msxsl.exe) can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft Core XML Services to migrate your BPMN files:
msxsl.exe path/to/your/project.bpmn20.xml workflowScriptTaskHelper.xsl -o path/to/your/updated.bpmn20.xml

AntiUniversity Jam Walk 13th June 2018
Tuesday's walk was one predominantly of flowers as the late cold snap this year has meant that fruit is late in ripening. It seems like it will be a bad year for plums too – either they lost their fruit to the late frost, or last year's bumper crop means that this year will be a fallow one. Either way there is little to no fruit on the trees that last year were yellow red and orange with little mirabelles at this time.
We gathered Elderflower in London Fields and Haggerston Park, Cherries in London Fields, Mahonia off Broadway Market, and Rose petals in Haggerston Park too.
It was perfect timing for the Rose petals as they were just starting to fall from the bushes – as these were public flowers we decided only to gather wind falls – but we still managed to collect around 500g of petals. I had also collected some apple windfalls from local trees to use for pectin as all our fruit/flower pickings at this time of year are low in the vital setting agent.
Returning to London Fields we set up the pop-up jam kitchen in the BBQ area. This was the second time I've made jam outside (see the Folkestone experiment) but the first time I've used a wood fired stove, as gas cooking stoves are not allowed on the fields.
Our first step was to prep the fruit, and boil up the little apples to release pectin.This was pretty efficient, but the preparation of the rose petals was very laborious (lots of bugs to remove). We were joined after school by some of the participant's kids who helped measure the quantities, stir the jam, check the temperatures and look after the baby!
Here's the recipe for Rose Petal Jam:
500g rose petals (carefully washed/debugged)
500g sugar
1 litre apple water (collect windfalls/apple cores/peels or chopped apple, cover with water, boil until soft, mash, then strain off liquid)
Sprinkle around half of the sugar over the washed petals and squish about to soften them. Leave to rest for 30 minutes or so to start to draw the liquid out. Add the remaining sugar and the apple water. Heat and stir, dissolving the sugar.
After around 5 minutes of cooking we removed some of the petals as the mix seemed very dense. Bring to a rolling boil, checking the temperature after around 5 minutes for a set. When a set is achieved pour into sterilised jars and fasten lids.
Ours was a beautiful pink colour, but this will vary depending on the colour of your roses!

Effective ways to Market Your Drug Rehabilitation Center Online
With the United States enduring a growing drug and substance abuse problem, one of the top ways to combat this is the rise of quality drug rehabilitation centers. If you are running a center and want to attract more clients and help more people, having a strong digital marketing strategy is critical. Here are several proven ways to run your treatment center marketing.
How to Market Your Drug Rehabilitation Center Online:
Create Targeted Website Content
Make sure the website for your rehab center is filled with content targeted to your audience. This includes static pages such as your Home page (or landing page), About page, Services pages and other important areas people will want information about. The content should be specific to the people you want to attract. Make sure you make it clear on how people can contact your treatment center.
Be Consistent on Social Media
Hundreds of millions of people use social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and many more. Be consistent across all platforms. Use the same brand and message for your rehab center, but always keep in mind the people you are trying to attract and serve. Don't just promote your center. A major part of treatment center marketing on social media is to provide valuable tips and advice. A great way to create a trusted following is to be the answer to people's questions.
Create a Search Engine Optimization Strategy
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a term that describes improving your website's ranking in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. You want links to your website pulling up as high as possible to maximize visibility so that your site brings in more visitors. If you want to improve your overall treatment center marketing, SEO is a must. It can generate free, on-going, leads 24/7. SEO strategies often change, but something that always works is creating targeted content that serves and brings value to the specific people you are trying to attract to your website. Professional SEO services can help you do this with a specific plan.
Write Regular Blog Posts that Bring Value
Blogging can be one of the most effective treatment center marketing strategies because it creates fresh content that people are searching for every day. You can write helpful, educational blog posts around specific topics and keywords your potential clients are online searching for. It's a great way to attract people to your website and your rehab center. Just like with social media, blogs should focus on bringing value to the people you want to attract.
Post Client Testimonials
Client testimonials are a terrific way to show expertise and success rates for your treatment center. When people are searching for information or considering a drug treatment center, client reviews and testimonials are a major determining factor because they provide a third-party perspective. There should be plenty of past clients who would be more than happy to provide a written or even short video testimonial. Try to get testimonials that showcase several services your centre provides.

The Australian: Architect Manuelle Gautrand adds soul to Parramatta's plans
Globally renowned architect Manuelle Gautrand is bringing lessons learned from Paris's famous La Defense business district to ensure Sydney's Parramatta is never slapped with the same ghost town moniker.
The French architect has been named alongside Australian firms DesignInc and Lacoste + Stevenson as the designer of the landmark $50 million cultural space at the heart the $2bn Parramatta Square urban renewal plan that will transform the outlying hub into Sydney's second CBD.
Yet in approaching the development, Gautrand will be borrowing from experiences learned at the world's best known and most controversial satellite CBD on the fringes of Paris. "La Defense has very beautiful architecture and towers that are very interesting, but the problem is that its monoprogramatic, it's only a CBD and there isn't enough housing and if you don't have enough housing there won't be any life," Gautrand told The Australian.
"Business has to be absolutely integrated with housing and other [amenities] … you cannot have places that you go to work and with nowhere there for you to live."
Built more than 50 years ago, La Defense on Paris's outskirts attracts more than 180,000 workers a day and is headquarters to 15 of the world's top 50 companies, but limited plans for housing from the outset means it has faced persistent problems with its streetscape and retaining a population beyond business hours.
Parramatta is likely to be more successful in its evolution into Sydney's second CBD, Gautrand said, as it has a growing residential population and multiple commitments from developers and the council for many cultural spaces, open spaces and sports facilities.
"You need to add a lot of other functions; there needs to be housing, there needs to be sports and cultural [facilities]. To be a liveable city, you need to have a mix of programs, and an integration of different [buildings]," Gautrand said.
Gautrand, who is best known for projects including Barclays Bank: "Origami" headquarters in Paris and Citroen's sculptural head office and showroom on the Champs Elysees, will add to the precinct with Five Parramatta Square, a new cultural centre anchoring the 3ha Parramatta Square civic plaza, business and retail zone that will become the centrepoint of the suburb.
The transparent glass building fronted by a sprawling LED screen for public art projections and cantilevered over the existing town hall will become the new home for Parramatta's library.
Other new age features will include a rooftop garden and external surfaces throughout designed for public art projects.
Parramatta Council alongside Walker Corporation, Charter Hall and other developers are each responsible for parcels at Parramatta Square, while the state government will connect the suburb located more than 23km from the centre of Sydney with a $1bn light rail network.

Q. What Hazard Communication Standard provisions are unchanged in the revised HCS?A. The revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a modification to the existing standard. The parts of the standard that did not relate to the GHS (such as the basic framework, scope, and exemptions) remained largely unchanged. There have been some modifications to terminology in order to align the revised HCS with language used in the GHS. For example, the term "hazard determination" has been changed to "hazard classification" and "material safety data sheet" was changed to "safety data sheet." OSHA stakeholders commented on this approach and found it to be appropriate.
Q. How will chemical hazard evaluation change under the revised Hazard Communication Standard?A. Under both the current Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) and the revised HCS, an evaluation of chemical hazards must be performed considering the available scientific evidence concerning such hazards. Under the current HCS, the hazard determination provisions have definitions of hazard and the evaluator determines whether or not the data on a chemical meet those definitions. It is a performance-oriented approach that provides parameters for the evaluation, but not specific, detailed criteria. The hazard classification approach in the revised HCS is quite different. The revised HCS has specific criteria for each health and physical hazard, along with detailed instructions for hazard evaluation and determinations as to whether mixtures or substances are covered. It also establishes both hazard classes and hazard categories—for most of the effects; the classes are divided into categories that reflect the relative severity of the effect. The current HCS does not include categories for most of the health hazards covered, so this new approach provides additional information that can be related to the appropriate response to address the hazard. OSHA has included the general provisions for hazard classification in paragraph (d) of the revised rule, and added extensive appendixes (Appendixes A and B) that address the criteria for each health or physical effect.
Q. How will labels change under the revised Hazard Communication Standard?A. Under the current Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), the label preparer must provide the identity of the chemical, and the appropriate hazard warnings. This may be done in a variety of ways, and the method to convey the information is left to the preparer. Under the revised HCS, once the hazard classification is completed, the standard specifies what information is to be provided for each hazard class and category. Labels will require the following elements:
- Pictogram: a symbol plus other graphic elements, such as a border, background pattern, or color that is intended to convey specific information about the hazards of a chemical. Each pictogram consists of a different symbol on a white background within a red square frame set on a point (i.e. a red diamond). There are nine pictograms under the GHS. However, only eight pictograms are required under the HCS.
- Signal words: a single word used to indicate the relative level of severity of hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard on the label. The signal words used are "danger" and "warning." "Danger" is used for the more severe hazards, while "warning" is used for less severe hazards.
- Hazard Statement: a statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard.
- Precautionary Statement: a phrase that describes recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical.

Are you interested in studying Japanese and ask yourself if it is easy or difficult? Its grammar is simple, if compared with our language and its pronunciation is not difficult, although the alphabet it is very different to ours.
But learning a language, especially the Japanese, hand in hand understanding of their culture and mentality, so different in some aspects of our both at the same time exciting.
The course combines Japanese Ilerllengües learning the Japanese language as a vehicle of expression and a different culture.

Twins 12 White Sox 6
What a perfect way to end a stormy day: watching the Twins soundly beat the Sox in Chicago to retake first place for the first time since July 3.
With the heat, humidity and eventual downpours, it really wasn't a day fit to do anything outside. So, the Twins game was welcome.
Baseball is all about reversion to the mean: Joe Mauer was hitting .285 a while ago, well beneath his lifetime batting average of .326. Suddenly he went on one of his tears to raise his average exactly forty points in a couple of weeks. He is now batting .325, about what one would expect.
Delmon Young, meanwhile, had a hot July in which he was the Player of the Month. Now he has cooled off and is looking more human.
Jason Kubel has struggled to hit for average this season, but he has been a great clutch hitter, something he has done for much of his career. He is deadly with the bases loaded.
Jim Thome is hitting home runs at a Ruthian rate. Too bad that nagging injuries, as well as the Twins' depth, limit his at bats. I can't imagine that DHing is that big a strain, but it must be, for Gardenhire babies Thome as much as he babies everybody else.
Like all teams, this one has changed throughout the season as people come and go. Valencia has filled the hole at third base. Morneau is out indefinitely with his concussion, but Cuddyer has filled in ably.
This is a fun team to watch.
I do keep track of Johan Santana and the Mets. Santana's doing okay, but the Mets are disappointing. Ha ha ha.
I pull for Tampa Bay when they aren't playing the Twins. Anybody but the Yankees. I am also pulling for the Texas Rangers to win the Western Division. Their manager Ron Washington was a long-time Twin and a good guy.

The Theory and Practice of Virtue
The Theory and Practice of Virtue
The psalmist says that only those whose hands are clean and whose hearts are pure will ascend the hill of the Lord. A modern philosopher writes that the primary task of morality should be exploration of the means by which we discipline the "fat relentless ego" that is each of us. Simply put, the moral life aims at virtue. An ethic of virtue has characteristic emphases and, at least within the context of Christian theology, characteristic difficulties. In the chapters of this book, in essays that differ greatly and draw from quite different sources, I explore both the emphases and the difficulties involved in the struggle to clean our hands and purify our hearts.
An ethic which focuses on virtue rather than duty will tend to make vision central in the moral life. Indeed, this may be one of the great attractions of such an ethic for religious thinkers. It provides a way to break through -- or bypass -- debates about the relation of religion and morality. If the way we describe our dilemmas and define our obligations depends on how we see the world, if action flows from vision and vision depends upon character, then religious beliefs will inevitably be of great importance in the shaping of an ethic. Religious disciplines -- like confession or prayer -- may affect what we see and do by shaping the persons we are. Perhaps some truths can be seen only by the disciplined ego. These themes are relatively recent in academic religious ethics, but, of course, they have a long history. To explore that received tradition and some of the theological . . .

Becoming a doctor takes considerable training, and because physicians go through so much schooling before assuming their roles, patients often believe the word of these professionals is 100-percent reliable. However, despite the length and intensity of their schooling doctors are not immune to error. And when physicians make mistakes, the repercussions can be very serious.
So, just how often are doctors making errors that compromise patient safety, and what can you do to help protect yourself?
Medical mistakes a pervasive problem
According to CNBC, doctor errors are so commonplace currently that they are the third-most common cause of death among Americans. Though cancer and heart disease are the two most common causes of death among Americans, medical errors remain a highly pervasive problem, with somewhere between about 250,000 and 440,000 American patients dying due to medical errors each year.
Common types of medical errors
These days, medical errors run the gamut, and they can include everything from a doctor's misdiagnosis to a surgical complication that should have been avoidable. While misdiagnosing a patient's condition is a common type of medical error, delayed diagnoses happen frequently. Both types of errors can have a substantial impact on a patient's overall prognosis.
Medication-related medical errors are also far too common. These include dosing errors, which can occur when a doctor prescribes too much or not enough medication, and medication mix-ups, which occur when medical professionals give one patient a medication intended for someone else. Other medical errors are often administrative in nature, meaning they can result from computer errors, system defects and related circumstances.
If you question the words, advice or recommended treatments your doctor gives you, do not think twice about getting a second opinion. Also, do not hold back if you are unclear on a particular diagnosis, medication or procedure, because the more information you acquire, the more you can feel comfortable with your recommended course of treatment.
People who have suffered harm as the result of medical malpractice may be eligible for compensation. They should speak with an attorney to learn about their legal options.

Airlines at Long Beach Airport will soon have to increase their utilization of slots. According to the local Press-Telegram, the Long Beach city council voted last night to increase the required utilization rate of slots for airlines operating into the airport. Previously, airlines were required to have a 57 percent utilization rate over any 180 day period. The new rules require airlines to have an 85 percent utilization rate over the year, with new quarterly and monthly utilization requirements.
The airline that will be affected most by this rule will be JetBlue. The New York-based carrier currently has a focus city at the airport but currently only maintains a 66 percent utilization rate of their slots. This will mean that the airline will either have to increase the amount of flights it has to the airport, or give up slots that are underutilized to other carriers. The change also affects the two cargo carriers to the airport: FedEx and UPS, which currently have a 71 percent utilization rate.
Jetblue and the City of Long Beach have been feuding over the past year over various issues. This includes fees that the airline has been charged for violating the airport's curfew. In addition, the city council voted to not proceed with adding a customs facility to the airport, curtailing JetBlue's plans for international expansion. As a result, the airline has reduced flying to the airport, ending service to Ft. Lauderdale next month.
The city council has called the move fairer for all airlines serving Long Beach, however, Jetblue appears to be the most affected. Almost all other airlines at Long Beach maintain a 100 percent utilization rate of their slots. Currently, JetBlue operates the most flights into the airport but recently Southwest Airlines has been expanding and seeking new slots for additional flights. This latest move may be a sign that the tides are changing in JetBlue's favor and helping the other airlines at Long Beach.

The foes of the California Environmental Quality Act includes developers, municipalities, land owners, the governor and assorted lawmakers in both parties. Their common refrain? That CEQA needs to be "modernized."
From the LAT's George Skelton: "Hill wants to return CEQA to what it originally was: a check on environmental degradation. It gradually veered out of control as various interests learned to use the landmark law for their own non-environmental agendas."
"It became, too often, a tool of business rivals trying to block competition, NIMBYs ("not in my back yard") attempting to thwart local projects and unions strong-arming developers for labor concessions."
"Meanwhile, project delays dragged on for years, money was wasted on consultants and lawyers, and California burnished its reputation as a lousy place to do business."
The governor's plan for putting more money into public education leaves one group out in the cold -- foster children.
From EdSource's Maya Cooper: "Governor Jerry Brown's new funding formula for education threatens to leave more than 40,000 school-age foster children in California without the essential support they need to succeed in school."
"The governor's proposed budget eliminates 47 of 62 "categorical" education programs, including California's Foster Youth Services program. Local Foster Youth Services programs operate primarily through county offices of education to better coordinate with the other county agencies serving foster children. These programs work with current and former foster youth as well as school, juvenile detention, child welfare, probation department and community services agency staff to help foster youth succeed in school. Services include tutoring and mentoring, educational advocacy, data sharing, coordination, transition planning and much more."
"Under the governor's current budget proposal, school districts and county offices of education will be funded through a "Local Control Funding Formula" that will provide a base amount per pupil and a supplemental amount for students who are English learners, low-income or in foster care. The proposal is intended to give local education agencies increased control over how to spend their funds while holding them accountable, in theory, for the academic progress of these educationally underserved groups."
Speaking of being left out in the cold, that may be what happens to Sacramento with the Kings, an NBA team that appears to be getting ready to head north from Sacramento, where it's been for nearly three decades.
From the AP's Antonio Gonazlez: "NBA commissioner David Stern said Friday night the counteroffer to keep the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle needs to be increased financially before the league's owners would even consider the bid."
"Speaking to reporters before the Golden State Warriors hosted the Houston Rockets, Stern said the Sacramento group's offer has some "very strong financial people behind it but it is not quite there in terms of a comparison to the Seattle bid." He added that "unless it increases, it doesn't get to the state of consideration."
"The league has scheduled a meeting April 3 in New York to avoid rushing debate on the issue. Representatives from Sacramento and Seattle will have a chance to present their case at that meeting, Stern said."
With all the talk about public-pension reform, the question arises: Will the changes that have been made eventually result in sustainable pensions over time?
From Calpensions' Ed Mendel: "A nationwide study, including CalPERS and CalSTRS, projects that huge pension fund losses during the financial crisis will be offset over three decades by a wave of recently enacted cost-cutting reforms — but only if several things happen."
"Pension fund earnings forecasts must hit their target. Critics say the forecasts, 7.5 percent a year for the two California funds, are overly optimistic and conceal massive debt."
"Government employers must make their actuarially required contribution to the pension fund each year. CalPERS has the power to demand full payment. CalSTRS contributions, frozen by legislation, are $4.5 billion a year short of the required amount."
The latest version of "House of Cards," a Netflix proferring, may be a pale version of the original BBC production with Ian Richardson, but that doesn't stop politicos from getting obsessed with the series.
From the Chronicle's Carla Marinucci and Wyatt Buchanan: "There are the old standbys of sex, money and power in politics. But lately there's a new addiction in the halls of power: a video series - fictional, of course - that stars power-hungry politicians, unethical journalists and a wily political insider who always seems to get what he wants."
"Netflix's "House of Cards," which stars Kevin Spacey as fictional Democratic House Majority Whip Francis "Frank" Underwood and Robin Wright as his wife, Claire, has managed to get Democrats and Republicans in Sacramento and Washington to sequester themselves - just to watch the series."
"Spacey's Machiavellian character "has his hands on every secret in politics - and is willing to betray them all to become president," according to the series' creators."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Ford Eldredge, Dominick Kirk, Chase Zamborelli and Nicholas Fontes will join the Santa Clara water polo program next fall.
"We're very excited about the four recruits who signed early and how the class is shaping up for next year," said head coach Keith Wilbur.
All four signees have ties to Santa Clara University.
Eldredge, whose sister Annie is a senior on the women's water polo team, is a driver from the Bishop's School in La Jolla. He was recently named first team All-California Interscholastic Federation in the San Diego section.
Kirk is the younger brother of Patrick who is a junior on the men's water polo team. Dominick Kirk is a utility player from Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose, and he was recently named first team All-CIF in the Central Coast Section.
Fontes is a left-handed driver, also from Bellarmine College Prep, and he was recently named second team All-CIF in the Central Coast Section. His mother, Pandora del Carmen, works at the university.
Zamborelli is a goalkeeper from Valley Christian High School in San Jose, and he was also recently named second team All-CIF in the Central Coast Section. He has an older brother who is enrolled in Santa Clara's Leavey School of Business.
"It speaks to a lot to Santa Clara to see the family connections and that so many siblings want to come to Santa Clara after seeing the great experiences that their older siblings are having," said Wilbur. "All of these guys are excellent players in their own right, but they also play different positions and complement each other's skill sets very well."

UGI Announces Vice President Appointments
26 Aug 2010
Reading, PA (August 27, 2010) – Peter G. Terranova and Robert F. Beard have been promoted to vice president positions within two subsidiaries of UGI Corporation.
Terranova, 57, of Reamstown, Lancaster County, has assumed the post of Vice President – Midstream Assets and Services – UGI Energy Services, Inc., the Corporation's energy-marketing subsidiary. He will be responsible for the further development of UGI's midstream business.
Beard, 44, of Quarryville, Lancaster County, has been promoted to Vice President – Marketing, Rates and Gas Supply – UGI Utilities Inc., the Corporation's natural gas and electric utility operation. Beard replaces Terranova in that position and will oversee the company's activities in the areas of sales, marketing, gas supply and rates.
John Walsh, Utilities' President and CEO, said: "Peter has played a critical role in the development of our Utilities business over the past 24 years and will be taking on a major new role in Energy Services.''
Brad Hall, President of UGI Energy Services, added: "Midstream assets will play a significant role in our growth strategy at Energy Services. Midstream assets currently include natural gas storage fields, our peaking assets – including our expanded Liquefied Natural Gas plant and our recently announced partnership with NiSource to build a 120-mile pipeline – primarily in Pennsylvania and a small segment of New York State – that will enable Marcellus Shale producers to access local and interstate customers. Bringing on a talented and experienced executive like Peter to our senior management team demonstrates how seriously we view this new role at Energy Services.''
Since joining UGI in 1986, Terranova has led various departments including Operations, Energy Supply, Marketing and Rates. He is a member of the Leadership Committee of the American Gas Association, and has a law degree from the State University of New York and a Certificate of Business Excellence from the Columbia University Management School of Business.
In announcing Beard's promotion, Walsh said: "Bob has made a significant contribution to our success since joining us as part of the PPL Gas acquisition in late 2008. I look forward to working
closely with Bob as he takes on this critical new range of responsibilities.''
Beard has more than 20 years of experience in the natural gas industry. Prior to the acquisition by UGI, he served as Vice President – Engineering and Operations of PPL Gas Utilities Corporation. His most recent assignment was Vice President of UGI Utilities' Southern Region, which encompasses Harrisburg, Lancaster, Allentown, Reading, Pottsville, Stroudsburg and surrounding areas.
Beard holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, as well as a Masters degree of Management, both from Penn State University. He is also a registered professional engineer.
UGI Utilities, Inc., has headquarters in Reading, and serves more than 625,000 customers in 45 Pennsylvania counties and one county in Maryland.
UGI Energy Services markets natural gas, electricity and fuel oil to more than 8,000 commercial and industrial customers at more than 25,000 locations throughout the mid-Atlantic region, owns and operates natural gas storage in the Marcellus Shale region and peaking plants for utility clients, and owns electric generation capacity.
UGI Corporation is a holding company with propane marketing, utility and energy marketing subsidiaries. Through subsidiaries, UGI owns 44% of AmeriGas Partners, L.P., the nation's largest retail propane marketer, and owns Antargaz, one of the largest LPG distributors in France.

PPT On Windows Server
Windows Server Presentation Transcript:1. Overview
Windows Server 2008 enables you to increase the reliability and flexibility of your server infrastructure. New virtualization tools, web resources, and security enhancements help you save time, reduce costs, and provide a platform for a dynamic and optimized datacenter. Windows Server 2008 can help you in many scenarios Some of these scenarios are available today, with your existing windows 2003 infrastructure.
2. Session Objectives and Agenda
Gain the required knowledge to integrate Windows Server 2008 into your existing IT infrastructure: Active Directory Group Policy Terminal Services Tons of demos
3. Active Directory
Windows Server 2008 Benefits for Active Directory Domain Considerations Schema Updates Get your RODC today DCs on Server Core Backing up and recovery
4. Windows Server 2008 Benefits for Active Directory What you get TODAY: Read Only Domain Controllers Restartable Directory Services Group Policy Enhancements Active Directory Snapshots Improved Install From Media (IFM) Directory Services Auditing
5. Domain Considerations
Domain Function Level must be Native or Windows Server 2003 mode. BDCs running Windows NT 4.0 are not supported with Windows Server 2008. No Mixed Mode No Interim Mode The first Windows Server 2008 DC in a forest must be a Global Catalog server and it cannot be an RODC. After you insert your first Windows Server 2008 DC, you can install your first RODC.
6. Prepare for the first RODC
RODCs are fantastic because they: Increase end user productivity Mitigate poor physical server security Lower impact of compromise, theft , or error Meet requirements of specific LOB applications
7. Prepare for the first RODC
Before you can install an RODC in a Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 forest, you must prepare the forest by running Adprep/rodcprep on any domain member, but it's best to run it on the domain naming operation master. In a new Windows Server 2008 forest you do not need to run anything. You must already have at least one Writable DC running Windows Server 2008 before you install your first RODC.
8. DCs on Server
Core Installing Active Directory on Server Core is performed by using an unattended file for DCPROMO. After the reboot, the Server Core acts just like any DC on the network, and you can manage it by using RSAT.
9. Group Policy
Windows Server 2008 Benefits for Group Policy Using ADMX/ADML files Creating the Central ADMX repository Interoperability
