Later, they call the library an accident waiting to happen. The school governors, like circling hyenas, spot the opportunity to propose more renovations, and the bid to knock down the oldest buildings in the school is duly approved.
The charred shell of the old library, circa 1860 stands forlornly to the edge of the property. Students who sneak in revel in the memory of bright flames and coaly smoke, history being taken down brick by brick to be reclaimed by earth; the shattered walls and creaking wooden floors, the smell of ash lingering in the air like an old grudge.
Not much investigation is made into the cause. It was old; it was potentially dangerous, and could have injured one of the fee-paying students. A blessing in disguise, really. The vague claims of a sighting of a figure with a hood drawn up and a can are dismissed without further thought.
Two weeks later, a student named Dean Winchester quietly transfers out of school. He doesn't state a reason. No one asks.
In the upheavals of the physical appearance of the school, the crash of hammer against nail and bricks rising to form walls like a band of children hiding a dead body, the truth hides, waiting, waiting.
He's too pretty to be a boy. Pretty enough to get away with anything, as his mother used to say, as his father now echoes with a twist to his mouth, as if tasting the irony of his words. She called Dean handsome. John is the one who settles for pretty.
The students at his new school spot this immediately, as is to be predicted. Seventeen years old, with a hunter's confidence of himself; he doesn't worry about it. On his first week, he encounters three boys, all older, two bigger, and walks away with a black eye and a smirk. The boys don't come back to school the next day. One's ribs are broken, and the other two refuse to speak. All three flinch visibly and hold still ever afterwards when Dean Winchester passes by.
So it's established; the pretty new boy isn't to be messed around with. He's given a wide berth; when he makes some comment with a cocky tilt of his neck, smartass set of his mouth, people smile strainedly and back off.
His teachers know him to be a smart mouthed, bright boy, too sharp for his own good like a shard of glass catching the light. His Form Master –Mr. Robert Singer- watches him from afar, feigning indifference.
He's sent to the Headmaster's Office for improper conduct in a classroom (his disambiguation of Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard bordering on pornography, sparking violent controversy, though later his English master admits it to be one of the most cleverly-phrased papers he'd seen in his entire career.) on the second month.
And that's where he meets Sam Campbell.
"Hey," and Dean starts.
Across the beige carpet of the main office, just near the ceiling-high window that lets in all the sunlight that floods the room, stands another boy. He's taller than Dean, bonier; his crossed arms look like blades. Despite that, his eyes are a wide, open hazel and his grin is summery and artless.
He doesn't wait for Dean to reply, instead pushing his brown hair from his forehead and saying, excitedly, "you're Dean Winchester."
A black feeling touches Dean's spine with fingertips of ice and he's instantly on guard, but the boy's still smiling like a six-year-old on Christmas. "You want an autograph or something?"
The kid throws his head back and laughs and Dean relaxes fractionally. Taller than Dean; younger than Dean/ not everything that looks dangerous lives up to the promise, he reminds himself. "Nah," the kid says. "You beat up Riddell, though. That does allow you celebrity status. I'm Sam, by the way."
He moves forward, into the frame of the French windows and for a second Dean's blinded. His handshake is warm, big hand enveloping Dean's.
Sam's smile is bright, and white, nothing underneath. He's got hair that's perpetually falling into his eyes, which are the color of Autumn leaves. His tie is unscissored, entirely intact, and though he's not wearing the poncy regulation knee-high grey socks (his are green; Dean's have a pattern of ponies on them, and are bright pink. Socks are the school's most expressive form of rebellion) his shoes are clean.
And Dean's bored.
Naturally, he thinks, for now.
So it's inevitable that they become friends.
Early winter, snow blocking the paths that crisscross the school like scars. Sam Campbell at the corner of his vision as he fights down an old, familiar rage, one that needed no name.
Sam's fingers around Dean's wrist, a patch of unbearable warmth on his chilled skin, Sam dragging him towards one building or the other, saying "c'mon, haven't shown you that one yet, it's so cool." Dean follows, most of the time because he's got nothing better to do.
He teaches Sam, this wide-eyed kid, how to make explosives from heads of matchsticks and cricket balls. His fingers curve around the leather, the harsh seams of the ball and for a second, he can almost hear the glass shattering into a million pieces of light.
Sam watches him all the time. Dean can feel it like a physical touch. Not aggressive, never aggressive. But something else. Something unnamed and not quite clean, not quite Sam. Dean pushes that thought away.
Strange kind of joy, climbing up to the roof of the Church tower where the rafters are loose and treacherous. Sitting on the edge, their words mixed with the cigarette smoke hanging in the air like a coded message from another planet. Sam tells him about his family, his little sister with leukemia and his preoccupied parents. At such an elevated height, Sam's body looks less and less like a deathtrap, his jagged edges mellowed in the sunset, his legs long, endless. He looks at Dean, hungry for approval yet somehow content. Dean thinks, with sudden clarity and unforgivable indifference, he thinks these are the best days of his life.
Dean doesn't bother to correct him. Later, when Sam's fingers touch the back of his hand, careful, light touch, Dean doesn't move. For a second, he stops breathing entirely, holds still, thinking on a loop, this is how you become immortal.
(End part one)

Cool but hard - I skipped a ton of levels but some are easy. Start with the easy ones and then the harder ones won't be so bad cause you've practiced. I like the "SKIP" button. >:)
Turn the Noise OFF! - There is no option for turning the noise off. This may be a great game, but without some means of turning the noise off—without having to turn the volume off for the entire computer—I give it one star. In my opinion, this is a major design flaw. Fix this, and I'll change my rating.
More Reviews for Current Version
A Game for Everyone - Seems to follow "laws" of physics pretty well. If you have a good head for physics it is really easy. With that said, it only took me 30 minutes to beat all 27 levels. But it could be a game for everyone one, because If you dont know how the ball will respond you can just shoot it again and again until you find out. It would be nice if you can turn off the sound effects, and if you beat a level without hitting the button that you have an option to repeat the level. I'm sure that if you want harder levels you can go buy the full version.
Holes and Balls is an innovative game, and it would be perfect if not for a few bugs and glitches. - Pros Holes and Balls Free is an original game that offers many twists to everyday gaming using a marble, matchboxes and more. Each level provides a new surprise that may inspire someone to portray this game in real life (that was a suggestion). Cons Players are forced to play some levels twice to beat them. Some matchboxes do not make their popping sound when the marble hit them. If the ball becomes stuck between two surfaces, it rides over one of them. A few levels can be cheated (with a little effort). Once players beat the last level, the game has them play it over and over again unless they click on the menu button. Some levels are so insanely hard that beating them does not provide much satisfaction; instead, frustration. Bottom Line Holes and Balls is an innovative game, and it would be perfect if not for a few bugs and glitches.
Fun….But - Fun, but it would be nice to receive hints if we would like to see some. Speed is a factor on some, but when you pull back, the farther you go, the line of travel vanishes. Fun to figure out, but it could be 1000 times better if it were more player friendly!!!!! Will keep it for a little while and then delete it because of that reason.
GREAT - Addicting and fun!
It's worth trying! - This Lite app is okay. I do not feel as if it is worth paying for the full version, however, if you just want to kill time, it's worth messing aorund with. In under an hour I completed all of the holes, but I don't feel as if it has enough of a replay factor to keep installed. It has the basic putt-putt style of gameplay, similar to pool games on a computer. If it was more of a replay factor, and if there was some kind of ghost feature of your last shot, it may have gotten more stars but it was a little frustrating.

<mike_t> after upgrade libc on raspbian I get problem with ld.so.cache. the same problem has already been solved in glibc. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-02/msg00120.html I hope it will be solved in eglibc too <plugwash> mike_t can you please be specific about exactly what version you updated from and to? <twolife> plugwash: i had an issue yesterday when upgrading libc6 from 2.13-37+rpi to 2.13-38+rpi1 <plugwash> mike_t, you say "the same problem has been solved in glibc" but when I look at your link I just see mails disussing a patch, do you know if the patch has actually been committed? <mike_t> plugwash, see also the bug http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15006#c26 <plugwash> also have you rerun ldconfig since updating eglibc and if so did that make any difference? <mike_t> http://www.sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=b39949d21179bd0b08a083e4f7e35d0c98e11294

What I can't figure out is why.
My understanding was that if the easy way to identify a library failed debian fell back on using the more painful to read elf tags. I grabbed a copy of the library from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/hardfp/opt/vc/lib/libvcos.so and according to readelf it does appear to have "Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP"
Anyone have any thoughts on this.

We have a video conference system setup in each office around our business in Europe and Asia. We have chosen to use Polycom. In our office in Bandung Indonesia using Polycom Group 500 while in our office in Jakarta using Polycom Group 300. Our head office in London, UK using HDX 8000 from Polycom.
We have done a lot of video conference system. In a week at least 3-4 times video conference session happened. This can be between our office in Asia, with other offices in Asia and UK, or video conference with our buyer and supplier.
One day our boss was complaint about echo/feedback coming from our office in Jakarta. We did not realize this problem although we did a test dial before actual VC session start. One day after the VC meeting finish I test with my colleague to re-create the problem and try to fix.
To Eliminate Echo by Using TV's Speaker Only
This time I heard echo when my colleague in Jakarta talking. We then tried to re-locate the speaker to eliminate the echo but the result still poor. The camera and microphone in Jakarta office are in on one piece, so we cannot move the microphone away from speakers, that's why we choose to relocate the speaker. We finally sort the issue by unplug external speaker and only using internal speaker from TV.
To Eliminate Echo by Muting Microphone When not Talking
Several weeks later our office held another meeting among offices in Asia and UK, I did a dial VC test to my colleague in Jakarta and everything was perfect at that time. After the video conference finished, we received feedback from VC participants that they still received echo during video conference session and to overcome echo they muted the microphone each time they're not talking. This is effective but not practical.
Eliminate Echo by changing VC unit settings
We decided to do some tests again, now involving more people from Durham, UK; London, UK; Jakarta, Indonesia; Bandung, Indonesia. My colleague in London confirmed that he heard echo from Bandung and Jakarta. He also said that voice from Durham is breaking up so we couldn't understand what people saying from Durham.
David Clark, from London asking Dan from Durham do disconnect and re-join to VC while he made some changes. After login now we can understand what's Dan saying, means the voice now has become normal.
During this test all video are good no problem at all, only problem with voice.
David also ask me to logoff and re-join video conference while he made some changes to our VC unit.
After I re-joined VC he said that now no echo heard coming from our end anymore.
This is what David's did to the setting of each Polycom unit in our offices:
Login as admin to each video conference system change noise reduction setting.
HDX series (HDX 8000)
I hope our experience to eliminate echo from Polycom video conference system is useful for you. I am sure other video conference system also has feature to enable noise and echo reduction.
Thanks to David Clark who always take care of our system across business in Asia and UK.

Everything That Women Should Know About Colon Cancer
With early detection, colon cancer can be reduced by up to 90%. That's why it is absolutely necessary that you recognize possible symptoms to get an early diagnosis.
According to information from the World Health Organization (WHO), colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, affects between 10 and 15% of the world's population, placing it just below lung cancer in terms of common incidence.
One important fact to keep in mind is that lung cancer and colon cancer rates are higher in women. Certain types of diseases, however, do not respond solely to one gender.
Today, we'd like to explain some of this information, which you will no doubt find to be useful.
Colon cancer in women
Colon cancer affects a large portion of people over the age of 50. 10% of these cases, however, can appear in people much younger.
In fact, there are cases in which people as young as 20 have been affected by colon cancer.
Until just recently, this cancer was more common in men, but a few years ago doctors began to warn of an increase in number of women affected by colon cancer.
Even though we don't know exactly what causes it, some factors like smoking, or certain lifestyles can lead to a greater incidence of this disease.
We need to point out, however, that we currently do not know what exactly causes this disease. Dozens of very young people with healthy lifestyles have also been affected.
Below, we are going to present a series of facts that are helpful to know and to keep in mind.
What is colon cancer?
Colon cancer originates in the colon or rectum. It almost always starts the same way: an abnormal growth in the lining of the colon that is shaped like a small polyps.
Patients could live with these small polyps for several years without experiencing too many symptoms, but after some time one runs the risk of this mutating into cancer cells. The primary symptom for this is blood in the feces.
There are two types of polyps that most commonly appear:
- Adenomatous polyps (end up mutating into cancer)
- Inflammatory and hyperplastic polyps: these are the most common, and they generally do not mutate into cancer cells.
Symptoms of colon cancer if you are a woman
Men and women experience the same symptoms of colon cancer. The only difference is that women might not pay attention to these symptoms, perhaps confusing them with other things caused by these situations:
- Periods of constipation and diarrhea: keep in mind that this type of condition is more common in women, and women therefore take longer to see the doctor about it.
- Fatigue, low energy: also a very characteristic symptom in women.
- Abdominal swelling, feeling of heaviness, slow digestion…
- Colon cancer is generally recognized with the sudden appearance of blood in the feces. If you also notice that your feces is very thin, this is also a characteristic that should convince your doctor.
- Keep in mind that blood in the feces isn't always noticeable with the naked eye. You could also be suffering from anemia. What you first may associate with other causes, could actually be a more severe, disguised disease.
We should also point out that a lot of these symptoms could also be related to other causes, like colitis, dietary allergies, ulcers, gallbladder problems… Just go to the doctor to rule out any doubts.
The key is in early detection
Colon cancer affects men and women in the same way. That's why medical institutions have had to establish protocols for early detection.
So, just like getting your gynecological check-up, it's also a good idea to request a simple colorectal test in the following situations:
- If you are over the age of 50.
- As soon as you notice blood in your feces and persistent abdominal pain.
- If you have a family history of colon cancer.
The tests will be a simple exploration to detect blood in the feces, along with a colonoscopy. This last one is slightly "uncomfortable," but it is absolutely vital.
According to doctor Antonio Linares, a Digestion Specialist at the Covodonga Healing Institute (Spain), with early detection, 90% of patients can be cured.
And that's for a very simple reason:
Before becoming a malignant tumor, first the polyp develops. In its first stages, this lesion is always benign. If not eliminated, it will end up becoming malign.
So with enough preventive exams, we can drastically reduce colon cancer levels with techniques and follow-ups.

If you had plans to embark on some major housing or building project this week, well we suggest that you may have to think again. This is because the price of cement yesterday Tuesday, rose by
N1,300 in Lagos and other parts of the country. Before the hike, a bag of
cement costs about N1, 600 marking over 35 per cent rise in the cost of the raw
material used in the building and construction industry.
Reacting to the development, 2nd Vice President Vice President, Nigeria Institute of Building (NIOB), Mr. Kunle Awobodu said the increase may have been as a result of cost of production and the devaluation of the naira. He lamented that with the hike, the cost of construction will increase while the need for cost variation in all ongoing contracts and abandonment of projects may become inevitable, adding that it may also discourage people from embarking on new projects.
He said: "Clients, contractors and quantity surveyors may have disagreements due to price variations. New price on old contracts in a competitive bidding may eventually lead to sub-standardisation in construction."

While we understand that the idea of getting something surgically implanted into the jaw sounds intimidating, as your dentist in Brea, CA, Dr. Grant Burdick at Designed Smiles wants you to learn the many misconceptions about dental implants in order to discover just how amazing and beneficial they can be for your oral health.
We so often hear patients express fear about dental implants, and we understand why they might have such feelings. After all, we are well aware of the many misconceptions about dental implants. While their earliest days (roughly 30 years ago) saw implants as a challenging procedure, the technologies have advanced to such a degree that implant dentistry is seen as one of the most success forms of restorative dentistry. Not only successful, but incredibly beneficial because it preserves gum and bone tissue while maintaining your healthy bite!
Let's take a few moments to debunk those different misconceptions about dental implants and help you make the best choices:
We just touched on this, but it is important to be clear about it. They have a 95% and higher rate of success, making them a very wise choice when replacing a missing tooth or seeking restorative dentistry.
While most major dental treatments involve a bit of swelling and discomfort, implant dentistry is no more painful than any other type. Anesthetics are used to numb the area, and those who want sedation dentistry can request it. However, there is no tremendous pain involved during the procedure, and only a bit of swelling and tenderness in the days immediately afterward.
Another of the great misconceptions about dental implants is that they take enormous amounts of time to implant and to heal. However, patients who come to our dental implants specialist leave with a temporary crown and will generally be able to have permanent crown within a few weeks.
As one form of restorative dentistry that preserves bone and soft tissue as well as the bite, they are effective and available to almost anyone. Even patients with inadequate bone can have treatments to make implants successful.
If you still have some worries or think you are suffering misconceptions about dental implants, feel free to give us a call at our Brea, CA office at 714-529-0100. You can also use our online contact form and one of our staff will get back to you promptly.

Reflections On My First Year Of Blogging
I published my first post here one year ago December 1st.
So today I thought I'd reflect on this year by asking a couple questions —
What's happened on the blog this year?
When I began, I had no idea what God would do.
I have been stunned at His mercy —
- 249 articles have been written
- 1303 comments have been posted
- over 49,000 people have visited
- over 149,000 pages have been viewed
- people have visited from the US, Canada, the UK, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, Germany, India, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Switzerland, Nigeria, Kenya, New Zealand, the UAE, Japan, Indonesia, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Hong Kong, Trinidad, the Netherlands, South Korea, Brazil, France, Pakistan, Taiwan, Mexico, Jamaica, Thailand, Romania, Zimbabwe, Greece, Norway, Uganda, Kuwait, Italy, Namibia, Portugal — and many more.
I am thankful the Father is using this blog to help so many.
What has surprised me the most?
Answer: how much I have learned.
I started this blog because I had seen what a difference it made when I stopped living by will-power, and intentionally focused on living by faith in all that God promises to be to me in Christ Jesus.
I thought I knew enough about that to start writing some posts.
But writing these posts, observing my heart, fighting the fight of faith, and reading your comments has taught me so much more —
- the subtlety of my unbelief
- the necessity of trusting God's promises
- how weak faith is — if it's not focused on promises
- that God has not just given us commands to will ourselves to obey, but He's also given us promises by which the Holy Spirit will motivate us to obey.
- that whatever I trust to satisfy me, I will desire the most — and whatever I desire the most, I will obey. Always.
- the priority of seeking our heart satisfaction in Christ Himself
- that heart-satisfaction is the crux of conquering unbelief
- how easy it is to fall into living by will-power
- how easily we neglect biblical motivations for obedience
Even if no one ever read this blog, I'd do it all over again because of how much I'm learning.
Which post impacted me the most?
I'd go with — What Does It Mean To Pray With Faith?
I have some requests I've prayed about for years. And when I prayed them I had little sense that the Father was glad I was praying them — because He had not answered them.
But I now see that every time I bring a request to Him in Jesus' name, praying according to His revealed will, and trusting that He will give me either what I'm asking for or something even better — He is smiling. He is pleased. He is glad I'm asking.
This has helped me persevere in praying for requests I have not yet seen answered.
What do I especially remember?
- Being stunned that over 4,000 people read "God's Promises For Those Struggling With Unemployment" — and seeing so many comment about how it helped them.
- Being deeply impacted by seeing that every promise points to Christ as our Treasure.
- Having Justin Taylor graciously promote my post on "How Can We Obey The Golden Rule."
- Reading comments showing how God has used this blog to free people from self-pity, discouragement, temptation, and unbelief.
- Being encouraged at how many posts are emailed to friends and shared on Facebook and Google+.
- Seeing God faithfully show me what to write.
- Seeing God break through time after time when I did not know how to explain something, did not think I was being clear, or was not sure how to say something.
Thanks to my wife
My wife is a Christ-satisfied and loving servant — and I've seen this even more through starting this blog.
A few years ago I started going over every sermon with her, because she has such wisdom. Her counsel has been invaluable.
So it made sense to have her read every blog post before publication.
So Jan has read 249 posts — some of them involving numerous revisions — without one "I'm sort of busy now," or "could I do it later?"
She's improved every post — and has protected you from a few that were, well, pretty bad.
So — thanks, Hon.
And thanks to you
Many of you pray for me, my writing, and the readers of this blog.
Many of you have taken the time to write comments.
Many of you have subscribed to the Saturday email.
Many of you have told friends about this blog.
Many of you have emailed helpful articles to friends, or posted them on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+.
So — thank you.
Comments? Feedback?
I'd love to hear — leave a reply below. Thanks.

As Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) search for a magical means of defeating Darhk (Neal McDonough), Diggle (David Ramsey) hunts Andy (Eugene Byrd) in order to avenge Laurel's (Katie Cassidy) death. Meanwhile, Thea's (Willa Holland) vacation with Alex (Parker Young) may not be as benign as it appears.
After taking a moment last week to mourn Laurel's death, Arrow wasted no time this week in getting back to saving the world (or at least Star City) and setting up the plot lines that will take it through the end of the season.
Ever since Thea lost her post-Lazarus bloodlust, Team Arrow has needed a way to defeat Darhk and we finally got the answer: magic. While Oliver originally thought he'd have to learn dark magic, it was a pleasant surprise when the sassy, totally fun immortal shaman told him that he would have to channel the light inside himself instead. Oliver's biggest flaw has always been his tendency toward darkness. He's repeatedly confronted that fact in the last few episodes and while tying his character development to defeating Darhk is a little inelegant, it's also a smart way to force him to evolve. Not to mention a rather clever way of tying his triumph as a superhero to winning Felicity back.
Oliver said himself that thinking of Felicity's words helped him fight off Darhk and it's easy to understand why after this episode. The couple hasn't spent much time together since their break-up, but seeing them interact again here–especially in their heart-to-hearts–was a reminder of how well they work together. Without Felicity, Arrow is just a touch too humorless and Oliver is just a mopey, unemployed pretty boy with a twisted hobby.
That's actually sort of true of Diggle and Lyla's dynamic too. And like Felicity with Oliver, Lyla (Audrey Marie Anderson) spent the episode reminding John he's a good man—even after killing his brother to protect his family. One of the bigger flaws of the superhero genre is the refusal to just kill a villain every once in a while. How many times does the Joker have to destroy Gotham before Batman realizes everyone would be better off if he were dead? Morals are one thing, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Andy had his chance to reform and he made it clear he would never change. He had to die. Still, John will likely never forgive himself for killing his little brother and hopefully the fallout lasts longer than the finale.
Speaking of the finale, we finally learned Darhk's endgame—and through Thea and Alex of all people. There was a strange dream-like quality to all their interactions and the reveal that they were in some sort of underground
Noah's Darhk's Ark was one of the show's best moments ever. Admittedly, it strains credibility that they'd reached the out of town vacation stage of their relationship considering they've barely shared any screentime or chemistry.
Regardless, this whole nuclear fallout dome situation is larger and more ridiculous than Arrow usually goes and there's something fun about how comic book-y it is. The threats Star City has survived in the past have just been variations on the theme of mass violent deaths. This time, there's an element of strangeness, of diabolical Bond villain extravagance. Like its hero, Arrow is finally embracing its lighter side. Well, as light as you can be when nuclear missiles are involved.
Arrow Death Watch Redux
Much like the characters themselves, this section couldn't stay dead. We may have found out who was in the grave, but the end of the season always means death on this show. So….
Thea: 20%
Wouldn't that just beat all? It won't happen, but it would give Malcolm (John Barrowman) yet another reason to be the Big Bad next year.
Damien Darhk: 98%
Given what happened to Andy tonight and what Felicity said to Oliver post-Laurel's funeral, the show looks like it's getting ready to justify killing him. Still, Arrow is notoriously bad at letting villains go *cough* Malcolm Merlyn *cough* and Darhk is such an enjoyable snark monster that they just might keep him around.
Island Girl: 100%
Listen, there's a reason she showed up in Oliver's montage of bad memories. Also, again, she's the worst.
Alex: 50%
There's wheat and then there's chaff and he's the latter.

IT Disaster Recovery Planning
IT Disaster Recovery (DR), also known as ICT Service Continuity, involves the development, implementation and testing of resilience measures and recovery strategies to ensure that the minimum IT, data and communications requirements of business users will always be satisfied.
Teed consultants are typically asked to get involved in client DR projects for one or more of the following reasons:
- The IT manager will have a pretty good idea of what his/her department needs to do, but needs independent assurance to prove to the management team that the resource investment is fully justified
- The IT manager is unsure whether full resilience of services/data or a gradual recovery is appropriate and requires help facilitating the analysis and planning process to ensure relevant solutions are identified and lessons are learned from organisations that have undertaken similar projects
- The business has provided little or no direction in respect of their resource recovery priorities or requirements and assistance is required to obtain their "shopping list of requirements", so that the IT department can make progress with designing appropriate recovery strategies to satisfy these
- There is only a limited budget available to implement DR and independent input is required on how this can be achieved in a cost effective manner
- There is no internal resource available with sufficient experience to manage the DR project within the timescales available
Depending upon requirements, Teed consultants can be involved in scoping the project as well as specific elements of project, for example:
We can also provide guidance on appropriate solution implementation, awareness and maintenance processes as well as provide project support/management throughout the project and on an ongoing basis.

Canned foods offer several health advantages over kibble products.
How should you choose a canned food for your dog? To start, by looking past its advertising in dog magazines or its front label. We suggest you focus on its ingredient panel, its guaranteed analysis (GA), and finally, on its performance in feeding trials with your dog.

The Graston Technique is a specific soft-tissue mobilization technique in which the Doctor uses a stainless steel instrument to detect and treat scar tissue and soft tissue fascia tissue restrictions. This gold standard technique uses six stainless steel instruments of different shapes and sizes to fit the body as needed.
Treatment goals and the process of the Graston Technique are to first "break up" these adhesions by breaking down the collagen cross-links that have been formed and then to realign them with proper stretching and strengthening.
The Graston Technique can be used through muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and on a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. The Graston instruments enhance our doctors ability to detect fascial adhesions and restrictions, and have been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treatment.

Some friends of ours hosted a fourth of July soiree over the weekend and we were so glad to be there. Lots of delicious food and drink and great conversation, and then there were fireworks. Woot!
I realized when we were out there that my camera has a setting for fireworks, so I switched that on and hoped for the best.
It works pretty well, actually.
The hardest thing was getting the camera centered properly to get the entire blast in one shot.
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with how well it captured these! Because of the fireworks setting process, it takes a longer moment before you can take a second shot, and by then that firework has usually faded, so I got better with timing the further on it got.
Many big thanks to our hosts George and Jenny for such a terrific evening!

this complicated beauty ring is a hard one for me, its tough because i know others will want it, but i am totally smitten and really don't want to part with it.
completely unique and substantial this ring is all things – unisex, alternate wedding band, statement ring and everyday badass. it speaks to the journey you are one, the fire you forged through, the goals you are setting and the accomplishments you are celebrating – seriously this ring does all the heavy aesthetic lifting you can imagine.
and it is 100% handmade from recycled silver {5 separate gauges} by me in my somerville studio.
she's a complicated beauty that {dk} girl…. and i wouldn't have her any other way!


text: I just got an email about this. YAY! Holt's is very hit or miss and their sale prices are usually much higher than other places, but I have definitely found good sales during the Now or Never. If you REALLY like something, I suggest getting it now. By the time 20% additional rolls around in about 3 weeks or so, it'll most likely be gone. Some things I've previously found are Loubies for $200-300, Tod's for $150-200, designer denim for $80-120, and even a Fendi B bag that was about $1300 for $500!!! Not as good as some US prices but definitely still worth a look.

The people of God in some regions of the world, Brazil included, are locked in a necessary battle for their identity. Within their midst false teachings have arisen. Such teachings may emanate from newcomers. Often, however, trusted brethren change their message. Where they once proclaimed the truth, now they preach a modified gospel, which is no gospel at all, but a distorted version of it. Continue reading

Sharing what hasn't been read, approving what lacks basis in Scripture
A Forbes article stated that "upwards of 60% of links shared on social media were posted without the sharer reading the article first." Facebook is now tracking how long users look at posts as they look to control what they term fake news. https://seenthis.net/messages/561034
I've seen people make comments on social media links that had nothing to do with the content, just a knee-jerk reaction. The 60% figure is not surprising, therefore.
One wonders if people do similar things in God's kingdom.
Do some saints recommend people and works that aren't true to Scripture? Do they approve of things that have no basis in the Bible? Do congregations support efforts they really don't know much about?
Are we ourselves guilty of giving a stamp of approval to false doctrine and teachers? 2 Jn 1.
"But examine all things; hold fast to what is good. Stay away from every form of evil" 1 Thes 5.21-22.
Hugh's News & Views (Shooting First . . .)
The story is told of a stranger driving through a small southern town and observing that many of the large trees along the streets, as well as the sides of old abandoned buildings, had a "bull's-eye" on them with a shooter's mark in the dead center of every one of them. Thinking there must be a "dead eye" shooter in the town the stranger stopped and asked a local citizen about the matter. The local explained that what the stranger was seeing were the exploits of the village idiot who shot first, then drew the "bull's-eye" around his mark!
The story reminds me of how some folks approach the study of the Bible: they decide first what they want to believe about a matter; then they find the text that "supports" what they have already made up their mind to believe about that matter. My "News & Views" of last week ("We Have Re-studied The Issue") is a classic example of what I am talking about. A few churches of Christ have decided to begin using instrumental music in some or all of their services. Under the guise of a "re-study," they adopt a course of action they had already decided on: "We intend to have instrumental music in our services"! Continue reading

Grace removes the practice of sin, or it is not grace
God's grace not only saves, but teaches. It will not save unless we are teachable. We cannot welcome saving grace without accepting teaching grace. Grace is not a blanket to cover sin that is present, but removes both its guilt and its practice.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
This Paul says in Titus 2:11-15 (WEB). Grace comes with conditions. It is spiritual and moral. Holiness belongs to grace. If godliness is not present, neither is grace. Continue reading
Has Jesus Left Our Temple?
C.E.W. Dorris wrote these provocative words concerning Jesus' departure from the temple in Mark 13:
"Sad the day for us when Jesus leaves our temple, and his voice is no longer heard pleading in our souls."
His words evoke memory of Jesus standing at the door of the hearts of Laodicean Christians in Revelation 3. Do we sometimes ignore Jesus as we would an unwelcome guest? Do we mentally and spiritually pretend that we're not home when our conscience senses his knocking?
Jesus calls us to follow him. That call requires attention in all areas of life, in making decisions and in forgiving as he forgives as well as in preaching sound doctrine.
Have we surrendered all? Is the voice of Jesus still pleading in our souls?
Book, chapter, and verse
by Hugh Fulford
There was a time when all preachers in the church of Christ were known as "book, chapter and verse" preachers. By this it was meant that they endeavored to "speak as the oracles of God" (I Peter 4:11), and to prove every point they made by the Scriptures.They shunned the religious doctrines and commandments of men, they refused to preach their own opinions, and endeavored instead to set forth the will of God about any and every matter of which they spoke. I am thankful that we still have many such preachers, men who wish to be known simply as gospel preachers, men who can back up what they proclaim by a "thus saith the Lord."
Unfortunately, "book, chapter and verse" preaching has sometimes been wrongly characterized as "proof texting."Proof texting is an abuse and misuse of scripture.It ignores the larger context of a verse and uses the verse to "prove" a preconceived notion or point of doctrine. As someone has observed, a text taken out of context is a pretext. Every passage of scripture must be understood in the light of its larger context, including the total teaching of the Scriptures on a particular subject. For example, all the verses ascribing salvation to faith in Christ must be understood in the light of all that the New Testament teaches with respect to what one does in response to the saving grace of God.

I always begin a painting with the intention of giving life to a particular idea and approaching a blank canvas, means to exhibit my life experience and imagination. I have tried diverse medium approaches in art making, and eventually drew up conception of my art-works. It is basic essential to represent my point of view through fantasies and images, confluence of paints and rage of emotions.
Biography: I grew up in urban area in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. My father was of noble birth and had an excellent education in arts. He was an amazing man, very intelligent, forward thinking, a psychologist and an academic, who nursed what he felt was my major talent. So he had a great influence on my upbringing. By his efforts I became aware of the world of art. Pencils and crayons became a fixture in my life before my professional training. I attended the Academy of Arts in Tbilisi, Georgia, which successfully completed and received my BFA in painting. I continued studying at the university to receive an MS in Art Education in 1985. Since then I have participated in the national and international exhibitions. I am one, who works solely in oil on diverse measures. My works are kept in The State University of Education in Tbilisi, Georgia. I became a member of the Georgian Union of Painters in 2000. My constant desire to research problems of Art had put me on the way of development, and I continued my education as a post graduate student of the Art-Philosophy faculty. Later, I prepared dissertation topic "Development of the Teaching Methodology in Fine Arts" for the scholastic masters' degree. Also, I have worked as a professor of painting and drawing in the Pedagogical University, in the State Academy of Fine Arts and, as a chief of Fine Arts Department in Tbilisi Institute of Arts. These were the years of my most wonderful lifetime. I regret to say that during the civil war in Georgia, 1991/92, my house in Tbilisi, with all my art works, dissertation topic and all my certificates were burnt. Life dictates its own scheme, which sometime scatters any hopes and plans. Circumstances and ignorance produced a plethora of diverse art works, which overflowed the walls of my current residence. My Life have undergone radical changes professionally and personally. To earn money for living I had to learn office equipment operations and attend Business English Language Cambridge University course. I have also visited U.S.A, where successfully completed course of banking, finance and credits in Ames University, Iowa. Later, I was trained at Chicago Preserve Bank. That was an excellent opportunity to meet foreign people with diverse background and gain experience in making appropriate contacts for further businesses. Recently, I have participated in establishment of the new International NGO and became one of the founders of the "Georgian Art & Book Foundation", that is aimed at supplying materials for working artists and recognition of Georgian arts overseas. Even though, my professional experience thus far has been in administrative work, I never stopped painting.

Explain how Ponyboy's experiences and lessons learned reveal the harmful effects of stereotyping.
- print Print
- list Cite
Ponyboy really experiences a coming-of-age withinThe Outsiders, and part of his growing up experience is his realization of the dangers of stereotyping. In chapter seven, when Ponyboy and Two-Bit stop at the Tasty Freeze, Ponyboy runs into Randy Anderson, "the tall guy who almost drowned [him]" (114). His first gut reaction is "I hated them," pinning the blame and guilt for the terrible chain of events on the Socs.
When Randy calls Ponyboy over to talk, he does not know what to expect, until Randy confesses that he will not be attending the rumble. Randy lets Ponyboy know that seeing the newspaper article about the fire rescue changed his opinion about the Greasers. Randy is "sick of all this. Sick and tired" (116). Their conversation convinces Ponyboy to stop seeing Randy as just a Soc, but instead to see him as an individual.
Later, when Ponyboy rejoins Two-Bit, his fellow greaser asks, "What'd Mr. Super Soc have to say?" and Ponyboy, now with new insight gained, responds "He ain't a Soc...he's just a guy. He just wanted to talk" (118).
Ponyboy's conversation with Randy reinforces the dangers of stereotyping, that "people get hurt in rumbles, maybe killed" and "it doesn't do any good" (117). Randy helps Ponyboy to look beyond the veneer of a Soc to realize that the opposing gang are boys, perhaps in different social circumstances, but just like him.

The single best way to build business quickly is to ask questions of those who have gone before you. The term used for these folks is "mentor". A mentor comes in all forms and it is up to you to recognize and seize each opportunity as it arises.
Most likely, your parents were your first mentors. Did they teach you the importance of "please" and "thank you"? Did you know if you write a thank you note to each of your clients you will be ahead of 95% of your competition? Were you also taught "If you do not have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" and "Do not discuss politics or religion"?
Build Business Quickly!
I have witnessed salespeople disregard these golden rules only to be tossed out of the intended accounts. In fact, I took a public relations class and the instructor, of all people, spoke badly of his competition. I have heard salespeople argue with their clients on a myriad of subjects including politics. If only these businesspeople had listened to their original mentors' advice.
Are you part of a sales team? Seek out the top producer and ask what he or she did differently to get to the top. Do you have friends in your industry or complementary industries? Ask what has worked best for them. You, too, will become a top producer.
For many years, athletes have used private coaches to improve their game, and now the concept has come into the mainstream business environment. Very common today is the use of business coaches. A good coach will guide you from where you are today to the heights you wish to achieve by adding clarity and vision and offering ideas of which you had never considered.
Why does mentoring work so well? You are able to take advantage of the knowledge others have accumulated over the years. It greatly diminishes the time factor in learning and perfecting new skills.
For example, I attended the Women's Small Business Expo where I met a woman who was a professional Coach. She took me under her wing for 5 minutes. This coach gave me excellent advice for expanding my business and enough ideas for what I thought would last a year. The Power of Suggestion led me on the right track and I accomplished the tasks in a mere 6 weeks. Sometimes having someone on your side championing you is all you need for greater success than you ever imagined.
Equally important to using mentors is to be open to new ideas. Use each meeting as a brainstorming session. Discard the ideas with which you are not comfortable and act immediately on the ones that appeal to you. Don't pass opportunities up or tell yourself, "I'll get to it later. " Later generally doesn't come and the offers are withdrawn.
Let me illustrate this point. I attended another convention where an amazing opportunity to be interviewed on television was offered to all participants. Furthermore, each person interviewed would receive a professionally edited version in the form of a link with streaming video for their website. This service was donated with absolutely no cost to those being interviewed. Thousands of people were in attendance but sadly, only four of us grabbed the opportunity.
One other behavior that will catapult your business success is to use mentors from afar by observing others in business. Carefully look and listen to their actions and words. Consider what you like most and what you do not like at all. Adapt to your style the course of actions you like and make them your own.
And when you do act, be passionate about your work. Your excitement and energy will come through the phone wires and across to prospects. The old adage is "People buy from people they like. " Smiling and being enthusiastic will attract prospects and clients to you. They will want to give you their business.
Even your prospects and clients will become your mentors. By asking prospects questions such as, "What are your criteria for making decisions?", "Is there a special structure you prefer for proposal writing?" or "What information do you need to consider a new vendor?"
As you allow prospects and clients to become your mentors a strange thing will happen. They will regard you as the one vendor who takes an active interest in their business and in themselves. They will come to rely on you and begin giving you repeat business, referrals and testimonials. By asking questions of everyone and allowing them to mentor you, your success rate will zoom skyward.

Staying in the Vinh Hung 1 Hotel was a unique experience. There are just six rooms in what was originally a Chinese trader's home and the atmosphere remains authentic and utterly beautiful. The furnishings are lavish, the rooms comfortable and large and the caring staff round out what for me was unlike any stay I've had except 1, also in a Chinese house, in Penang.
I must point out that it may not be for everyone. If you require quiet and absolute privacy the traditional single wall partitions of the rooms do not provide it. And the marble bathrooms have bathtubs but only an inadequate hand held shower so if your morning requirements include a good shower it won't be here.
But these small sacrifices are well worth a stay in such a unique place. It was, for me, the absolute best part of my 5 days in Hoi An.

Would impose a fee of $75 to be paid at the time of recording of every real estate document, including association governing documents, and collection documents. Would increase the cost to a delinquent homeowner attempting to resolve the debt to the association.
Current Status: Chaptered
FindHOALaw Quick Summary:
Under existing law, there are programs providing assistance for emergency housing, multifamily housing, home ownership for very low and low-income households, and down payment assistance for first-time buyers. SB 2 (Atkins) would add Government Code § 27388.1 enacting the "Building Homes and Jobs Act." The bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to the need for establishing permanent, ongoing sources of funding dedicated to affordable housing development.
The bill would impose a fee of $75 to be paid at the time of the recording of every real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded. This would include, but is not limited to, the following: deed, grant deed, trustee's deed, request for notice of default, abstract of judgment, notice of default, assessment lien, release of lien, easement, notice of trustee sale, notice of completion, mechanic's lien, maps, and CC&Rs. The fee shall be reduced, so that the fee, together with any charges or recording fees, shall not exceed a per parcel maximum charge of $225. Increasing the fees on recording documents that are generated in connection with an assessment delinquency (i.e., an assessment lien) will result in increased costs for the delinquent homeowner, as those fees would be incorporated into the delinquent homeowner's debt pursuant to Civil Code Section 5650. (See "Collection Fees & Costs.")
The bill would require that revenues from this fee, after deduction of any actual and necessary administrative costs incurred by the county recorder, be sent quarterly to the Controller for deposit in the Building Homes and Jobs Fund. The bill would provide that moneys in the fund may be expended for supporting affordable housing, home ownership opportunities, and other housing-related programs, as specified. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
**UPDATE: SB 2 was signed by the Governor on September 29, 2017. Its changes to the law become operative immediately.
