Server infrastructure
This test lab includes the below servers:
- Contdc01
- Contdc02
Planned configuration
Here we'll walk through how to configure DHCP failover. Our requirements are below:
- Scope 10.0.1.0/24
- Failover mode: Load balance mode (50:50)
- Automatic failover
PrerequisitesTo create a failover relationship for two standalone DHCP Servers, this requires:
- two DHCP servers
- a unique failover relationship name
- a DHCP scope on only one of the DHCP servers to configure failover for (this is because the scope will be created on the other DHCP server)
How to configure failover using PowerShell
To configure DHCP failover for our scope, 10.0.1.0, we use the Add-DhcpServerv4Failover cmdlet and specify the settings we would like. We are running this command on contdc01 which is where we already have a scope configured.
- Failover Relationship Name: contdc01-contdc02
- Partner server: contdc02
- Scope ID: 10.0.1.0
- State Switchover Interval: 1hr
- Shared Secret: Password1
Add-DhcpServerv4Failover -Name "contdc01-contdc02" -PartnerServer contdc02 -ScopeId 10.0.1.0 -StateSwitchInterval 1:00:00 -SharedSecret Password1 -Force
Once done, we can confirm that DHCP failover was configured correctly by checking that the scope exists on both servers. We use Get-DhcpServerv4Scope to do this and specify each of the server names:
Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName contdc01
Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName contdc02
The output shows a list of scopes on each server:
To confirm the settings, we can use Get-DhcpFailover and specify the servers in turn so we can confirm our settings are correct and that they have replicated to the other server:
Get-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName contdc01
Get-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName contdc02
In this post, we've looked at how to configure DHCP failover using PowerShell which is much quicker and quite easy to script.

"The best parts of my management education, I would have to say, have been the caring and motivating professors and the co-op education component of the program. I was able to use my co-op education class objectives, not only to stretch my goals in my current role, but to also carry those objectives outside of my department and gain experience in other areas of the company.
"Using the knowledge and skills learned from these courses, I've learned how to communicate with others based on their communication skills, and to build good working relationships with other cross-functional groups. That opportunity and exposure have also enlightened me with a better understanding of company structure and strategies.
"The management courses touch on so many different areas of management that it really is a deep dive into the structure of corporations today with real-life current data. The courses focus on and the professors put emphasis on good management, and how managers should respect, develop and recognize their people. This is a critical component to being an excellent manager and leader.
"As an associate program manager, I manage projects and tasks. Though the people I work with do not directly report to me, I've learned specific management skills in motivating people and keeping a group going, making sure there's accountability and ownership of the project, and that everyone is working towards the same goal. It's a valuable skill to know how to get a team to work collaboratively.
"My experience has been excellent; the professors have been encouraging and motivating and will answer any question you have. They really take the time to encourage us in our studies. I actually chose the program because of a good experience I first had with an advisement counselor, John Harwood. I originally came to inquire about the Project Management classes, and he took the time to explain how I could earn my degree in very little time through the Management program. I had always felt that I didn't have time at this point in my life to earn a degree. But after speaking to him, I knew it was a possibility. He directed me to speak with
Dr. Linda Morable (Management program director) about the program. After meeting with Dr. Morable and seeing how structured the program was, I was on my way to being a college student. I've had the pleasure of taking some of her classes, and the whole experience has been very rewarding.
"I'm very much appreciative of the faculty for their encouragement and for truly making a difference in my life."
Angie Williams was formerly a business analyst before moving into her current job as an associate program manager at Fed Ex Office, an entity of Federal Express, in 2007. She is working on an associate degree in Management and is interested in furthering her career in the area of organizational development.

Just to save you trolling through the online newspapers around Australia, I have done it for you already and picked out today's salient stories for your edification.
At the moment, cyclists entering the city from the north have to lug their bikes up 55 steps to the Harbour Bridge cycleway.
Should I take the above SMH story with a grain of salt? Fifty five steps to carry a bicycle!!!
Also from the SMH, this Barangaroo development is outrageous. I signed an online petition but I am not sure if it is the one mentioned below.NSW Premier Fatty O'Barrell will have to debate the controversial Barangaroo development in Parliament now that protesters have amassed more than 10,000 signatures opposing the Sydney project.The concerns include the decision by Labor to effectively excise Barangaroo from its own laws for managing contamination.The concerns include the decision by Labor to effectively excise Barangaroo from its own laws for managing contamination.Groups protesting against the development want the size of it reviewed, as well as the plan to build a hotel in the harbour and the process for decontaminating the site. Mind the gap.

Nota amat penting. Nota nama lain bagi catatan. Nota penting bagi menentukan maklumat yang diterima tidak hilang begitu sahaja.
Peringkat awal maklumat hanya diingat/hafal. Namun isunya ialah bagaimana sekiranya sumber kepada maklumat itu tiada dengan pelbagai sebab misalnya mati, sakit, gila.... benarlah tindakan Saidina Uthman yang berusaha untuk mengumpulan Al-Quraan di dalam bentuk MUSHAF.
Sebagai seorang pelajar bagaimana ? Tanpa nota tentulah apa yang dipelajari tidak kekal lama di dalam ingatan. Calon SPM/STPM yang lalu mengakui bahawa nota amat penting bagi mereka.
Nur Amalina Che Bakri (born December 07, 1987 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan)[1] was the student who held the record of most 1As scored in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia. Upon the announcement of results of SPM 2004 on 26 March 2005, she received 17 1As - a record for number of 1As received by a student in the history of Malaysian education.[2] She was sponsored by Bank Negara Malaysia to study medicine in the United Kingdom, and did her A-levels in Cheltenham Ladies College in the UK.[3]
When her A Levels result was released in 2007, she scored 5As and she received an offer from University of Edinburgh to study medicine. She has just completed her second year and she was offered by the university to pursue an intercalated degree in Pharmacology with Industrial Experience after her second year due to her excellent results, that means she will get a double degree (MBChB and B Med Sc) by the end of her medical course. She will continue with her third year medical course after completing the intercalated degree programme.


text: Loosely translated as "Hedgehogs in a Hurry," this game gives players several wooden disks (the hedgehogs) to place in one of six rows. During a turn, you roll a die, optionally move any of your hedgehogs one row left or right, then move any hedgehog (not necessarily yours!) in the row your rolled forward one space. But watch out for black spaces; hedgehogs caught there can't continue moving until they're in last place. The first player to get three of their four hedgehogs to the end of the board wins. Some later versions of this game come with dozens of different variants to keep the game interesting.Tante Tarantel (Aunt Tarantula) scoots round her web, gobbling up your insects as they try to escape. The web is a spiral, you roll the die and move Auntie, then take turns to move one of your bugs towards the exit space. Initially, Auntie is in a good mood, if she runs into a bug or bugs, they go back to her larder. But as soon as someone escapes, she loses her temper and kills anything she catches! The game has a scoring track, and each time a bug is caught or escapes, a marker moves up, also adding a number to the die roll. So Auntie runs around the web faster and faster. Players can share some spaces, but most of the time, bump each other back and forth. Naturally, nasty bugs push others into Aunty's path to certain death!

DJ Deep Fried Fridays returns this summer, bringing with it a different palatable pairing of beats and bites that represent the past, present and future of Torontos taste-makers.
In recent times, there have been two rising superstars in our city's cultural landscape: the DJ and the chef. More than ever we turn to these two quick-wristed trendsetters to set the tone and the table for our evenings. As dance floors are filled with the sound of emerging genres and vintage grooves selected by the DJ, the chef is cutting and mixing his or her own creations that are meant to both inspire and delight.
Through The Big IDEA: Legacy we explore the new cultural tradition being forged by these two champions of the city and how their parallel existence helps create our most memorable nights out on the town.

Selective hearing is a human trait – we hear what we want to hear. So when it comes to getting feedback on your dissertation, it can feel like a personal attack. Feedback is a double-edge sword of the good and bad. But when we hear the negatives, that's all we hear. And we tend to block out the positives.

|Edgerton Local School District
|Bylaws & Policies
The Board of Education recognizes that the personal, social, physical, and educational growth of children will vary and that they should be placed in the educational setting most appropriate to their needs at the various stages of their growth.
It isthe Board's intent that each student be moved forward in a continuous pattern of achievement and growth that is in harmony with his/her own development.
Such pattern should coincide with the system of grade levels established by this Board and the instructional objectives established for each.
The promotion and retention provisions of this policy shall be in compliance with the terms of Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee (Policy 2623.02).
A student will be promoted to the succeeding grade level when s/he has:
|completed the course and State-mandated requirements at the presently assigned grade;
|achieved the instructional objectives set for the present grade;
|demonstrated sufficient proficiency to permit him/her to move ahead in the educational program of the next grade;
|demonstrated the degree of social, emotional, and physical maturation necessary for a successful learning experience in the next grade.
Academic Acceleration:
Academic acceleration may involve whole-grade acceleration or individual subject acceleration. Academic acceleration occurs when a student is not only doing the caliber of work necessary to be promoted to the next grade or enrolled in the next course in the academic sequence, but also demonstrates the ability to do the caliber of work required of students in that next grade level/subject/course. An acceleration evaluation committee will determine whether the student will be permitted to skip a grade level (i.e., whole-grade acceleration), or take a subject at a higher grade level or skip a course in the usual and customary academic sequence (i.e., individual subject acceleration).
Any student residing in the District may be referred by a staff member or a parent/guardian to the principal of his/her school for evaluation for possible accelerated placement. Students may refer themselves or a peer through a staff member who has knowledge of the referred child's abilities. Copies of referral forms for evaluation for whole-grade or individual subject acceleration will be available at each school building.
Students referred for accelerated placement will be evaluated in a prompt manner. The building principal will schedule the evaluations. Normally, changes in a student's schedule will occur only at the start of a semester.
Before a student is evaluated for accelerated placement, the principal (or his/her designee) shall obtain written permission from the student's parent/guardian.
Evaluations related to referrals that occur during the school year will ordinarily be completed and a written report issued within forty-five (45) calendar days. Evaluations related to referrals that occur at the end of a school year or during the summer will be completed and a written report issued either before the end of the school year, if possible, or within forty-five (45) calendar days of the start of the next school year.
Upon referral, the student's principal (or his/her designee) shall convene an acceleration evaluation committee to determine the appropriate learning environment for the referred student. This committee shall include the following:
|a parent/guardian, or a representative designated by that parent/guardian
|a gifted education coordinator or gifted intervention specialist, or if neither is available, a school psychologist or guidance counselor with expertise in the appropriate use of academic acceleration may be substituted
|a principal or assistant principal from the child's current school
|a current teacher of the referred student
|a teacher at the grade level or course to which the referred student may be accelerated
The acceleration evaluation committee shall be responsible for conducting a fair and thorough evaluation of the student. The acceleration evaluation committee will consider the student's own thoughts on possible accelerated placement in its deliberations. In the event that career-technical programs are considered for acceleration, a career-technical educator shall be consulted as a part of the evaluation.
Students considered for whole-grade acceleration will be evaluated using an acceleration assessment process approved by the Ohio Department of Education.
Students considered for individual subject acceleration will be evaluated using a variety of data sources, including measures of achievement based on State academic content standards (in subjects for which the State Board of Education has approved content standards) and consideration of the student's maturity and desire for accelerated placement.
The acceleration evaluation committee shall issue a written decision on the outcome of the evaluation process to the principal and the student's parent/guardian. This notification shall include instructions for appealing the decision.
Appeals must be made in writing to the Superintendent within thirty (30) calendar days of the parent/guardian receiving the committee's decision. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall review the appeal and notify the parent/guardian of his/her decision within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the appeal. The Superintendent or his/her designee's decision shall be final.
If the student is recommended for whole-grade or individual subject acceleration, the acceleration evaluation committee will develop a written acceleration plan. The parent/guardian shall be provided with a copy of the plan. The plan shall specify:
|placement of the student in an accelerated setting;
|strategies to support a successful transition to the accelerated setting;
|requirements and procedures for earning high school credit prior to entering high school (if applicable); and,
|an appropriate transition period for accelerated students.
A school staff member will be assigned to oversee implementation of the acceleration plan and to monitor the adjustment of the student to the accelerated setting.
At any time during the transition period, a parent/guardian of the student may request in writing that the student be withdrawn from accelerated placement. In such cases the principal shall remove the student from the accelerated placement without repercussions.
At any time during the transition period, a parent/guardian may request in writing an alternative accelerated placement. In such cases, the principal shall direct the evaluation committee to consider other accelerative options and to issue a decision within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the request. If the student will be placed in a different accelerated setting from that initially recommended, the student's acceleration plan shall be revised accordingly, and a new transition period shall be specified.
At the end of the transition period, the accelerated placement shall become permanent. The student's record shall be modified accordingly, and the acceleration implementation plan shall become part of the student's permanent record to facilitate continuous progress through the curriculum.
A student may be retained at his/her current grade level when s/he has in the opinion of the professional staff, failed to achieve the instructional objectives set forth at the current grade level that are requisite for success at the succeeding grade level.
A student may be placed at the next grade level when retention would no longer benefit the student.
The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines for promotion, placement, and retention of students that:
|require the recommendation of the relevant staff members for promotion, placement, or retention;
|require that parents are informed in advance of the possibility of retention of a student at a grade level;
|assure that efforts will be made to remediate the student's difficulties before s/he is retained;
|assign to the principal the responsibility for determining the promotion, placement, or retention of each student;

Photographers Uta Barth and An-My Le Receive $500,000 MacArthur Genius GrantsHave you ever been recognized out of nowhere for working your tail off on something? You didn't think people were paying attention and then bam - you get a bonus, or a hug, or just a pat on the back. Photographers Uta Barth and An-My Le know the feeling, except their 'attaboys come in the form of a $500,000 no-strings-attached grant. It's not a grant they applied for, it's not a grant they knew they were nominated for and it's not a grant that's given out to many. It's given by an anonymous group and you'll find out through a phone call. Only 25 people received the grant this year.
Uta Barth is a conceptual photographer that aims to explore not only the nature of vision, but the difference between the reality we perceive and the reality that's recorded on film. Barth's latest photographic series focused on light and how it affects our perception of time.
An-My Le focuses on war and the effect it has on people and the environment that surrounds them. Le's current project is photography of U.S. military presence around the world.
Only 11 other photographers have won MacArthur grants - Richard Benson (1986), Lee Friedlander (1990), Susan Meiselas (1992), Wendy Ewald (1992), Robert Adams (1994), Cindy Sherman (1995), Alfredo Jaar (2000), Deborah Willis (2000), Camilo José Vergara (2002), Fazal Sheikh (2005), and Lynsey Addario (2009).

These past few weeks, I've been prepping myself to say adios to summer. While fall is by far my favorite season, it's still a bittersweet farewell. Each morning I pass buses full of loud children on their way to school, my tan is starting to fade, and I've had to pull out a sweater for a breezy day on multiple occasions this week. In central VA, it seems like fall never comes slowly. It will give us a tease here and there, offering a reprieve from 90 degree days. And then, what seems like all at once, the leaves change, scarves are a must, and pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere (I'm more of a caramel apple spice girl myself).
Lynchburg in the summer is lively and carefree. Though the herds of university students are usually gone, there are plenty of locals enjoying the summer staples, like Hillcats games or the Lynchburg Community Market. Our Community Market is open year-round, but there's something special about the Market in the summer. All the beautiful flowers, the array of colors, the smell of crepes being made inside. It's a dream. Since we're nearing the end of this sweet season, here's an ode to the Lynchburg Farmer's Market (and easy one-pot recipes!)
We got some beautiful tomatoes, summer squashes, and fresh basil at our local Farmer's Market, and added a few extra things to the mix. I'll list the specific veggies I used in my rendition of this Farmer's Market one-pot pasta, but you can really use any combination of veggies that go well together! This is another one of those easy-to-experiment-with recipes (can you tell they're my favorite?)! Let me know what combinations you try and love!
Serves 4-8
You'll need:
- 12 oz. (one box) of your favorite spaghetti
- 1 red onion
- minced garlic to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 2 chopped summer squashes
- 1 cup broccoli
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes/tomatoes of your choice
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 cup mozzarella
- Add everything except the cheese into a large pot. Use your discretion with how much water you add depending on how many extra veggies you're adding in – remember you won't drain the water! Bring the water to a boil and then uncover and boil for 7-10 minutes. Don't overcook the pasta!
- Toss the pasta with the cheese, and use some fresh basil and cherry tomatoes to garnish. This is a large dish – perfect for potlucks or dinner parties!

The Silent Center points to the core of our Being – our own consciousness. The field of awareness is the home of clarity, insight, inspiration, peace and freedom.
In truth, we are never separate from this center of silence. We can be conscious of this by noticing the silence that is deeper and closer than any thought. When we bring ourselves fully present with what is present here in this moment, thinking stops and what remains is the field of awareness. Check it out; are you the stream of thinking or consciousness that is aware of the thinking?
Recognition of the truth of one's self is somewhat like waking from a dream or coming out of a hypnotic trance. Making this distinction between consciousness and the stream of thinking has many benefits; lowering stress, increasing respons-ibility, and realization of an expansiveness that is impossible to describe, some call it love.

I have now officially graduated from "crazy" food requirements to "mind boggling." A recent blood test revealed I am allergic to a vegan's worst nightmare: the potato.
Coping When You're Allergic to Everything
I am also allergic to carrots, tomatoes, peanuts, and whey. Combine this with "vegan – except sometimes honey" and "gluten free" … what you get is a travel/eating out disaster.
Carrots and tomatoes are the most severe allergy.
I'm not too upset about the carrot allergy. Unfortunately, carrots happen to be in most vegetable stocks, stews, and (of course) the lovely carrot cake.
Tomatoes and peanuts are annoying. No pasta sauce? No Italian recipes? No classic pizza? No peanut butter?
Whey is irrelevant, considering I eat no dairy products anyways.
But then there's the potato. Oh potato, how I have loved thee.
My favorite food is french fries. Mashed potatoes no more. Potato chips. Gluten free flour mixes. Many gluten free, vegan desserts. Even a bag of dried mango I got at a grocery store in Austria snuck in some potato starch to prevent caking.
It's omnipotent. Omnipresent.
I've had to start reading labels even more carefully now. Couple this with other shocking food-related discoveries (sugar isn't vegan, most wine isn't vegan) and you've got a very confused human indeed.
What I've gleaned from this situation is how important food is to quality of life. I've eaten all of these allergens for years. I was even in the process of baking some home-cooked french fries when I got the call from a nurse that I had 5 food allergies. Yet I never knew they could be causing me so much physical and mental discomfort.
Luckily, there are places in Phoenix like Gluten Free Creations Bakery that explicitly list their ingredients and cater to the same types of weirdos as me.

Fostering Barnet
We are currently recruiting foster carers in Barnet
We are trying to find new carers in Barnet as Barnet and some other Local Authorities nearby are looking to place more children with foster carers in Barnet. The main things you need to have are at least one spare room and some common sense and a desire to work with children!
About us
Capstone Foster Care is a well established fostering agency operating across most parts of England. We have approximately 100 staff and 500 carers. We have offices across England and each office still maintains the family friendly feel. We can offer carers the best of both worlds – the resources and expertise of a large agency but the personal feel and local support which most carers really value and appreciate.
What our foster carers say
My wonderful social worker is always just phone call away and I am always made to feel as if my words matter. It is this support that Capstone gives that allows me to focus on the most important thing, which is caring for the two most beautiful girls I am fostering. If you want an agency that supports, encourages and helps you to be what you signed up to be, a foster parent, then I would whole-heartedly recommend Capstone Foster Care.
Katie Bateman, South East
Why choose Capstone Foster Care?
We have been working in the Barnet area for many years so we have plenty of other foster carers in that part of London who can help you in your fostering career.
Barnet is one of the many London Local Authorities that has recently put its fostering services out to tender and we were successful in that tender. In fact we were placed on tier 1 on that tender and this means that you would be among the first carers to get to hear about possible fostering placements. And that is really important when it comes to choosing which fostering agency to work with.
Want to know more about fostering?
Then please just ring our main fostering adviser Fiona on the following number: 01322 629 260 or make an enquiry.

US ineptitude leaves chemical weapon option for ISIS in Iraq
US ineptitude leaves chemical weapons option for ISIS in Iraq
by Bob Rigg
June 26, 2014
After the 1990-1991 Gulf War inspectors with a UN mandate located and destroyed large quantities of chemical weapons on Iraqi territory. But the US and the UK kept on insisting that Iraq was still concealing nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs, and finally attacked in 2003, in violation of the UN Charter. After the US attack increasingly desperate US attempts to prove the existence of Iraqi WMD came up empty-handed. George Bush Junior later said that his biggest regret was "the intelligence failure" in Iraq.
Iraqi chemical
weapons located at huge Al Muthanna chemical weapons
Relatively small caches of chemical weapons were eventually uncovered, all of which had been inadequately disposed of by the Iraqis. They were brought together at the Al Muthanna chemical weapons complex, previously the nerve centre of Saddam's chemical weapons production.
"The agent remaining in the weapons
would be very valuable to terrorists and
In June 2006 Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, then Director of the US Intelligence Agency, testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee that the munitions in question had been produced in the 1980s. "Badly corroded, they could not currently be used as originally intended …"
Maples specifically noted that "the agent remaining in the weapons would be very valuable to terrorists and insurgents". A colleague commented that this was true even considering any degradation of the chemical agents that may have occurred.
seizes Al Muthanna chemical weapons complex
Just days ago, in mid-June 2014, it was unexpectedly reported that, in the course of its Blitzkrieg in northern Iraq, ISIS had captured the Al Muthanna complex, which still contains remnants of chemical weapons, apparently buried in underground concrete bunkers. US sources confirmed that these chemical weapons included sarin, mustard gas, and the nerve agent VX.
White House damage
The Obama administration immediately leaped into damage control mode, insisting that these deadly chemical weapons do not pose a threat because they are "old, contaminated and hard to move". The White House did not claim that these chemical weapons are impossible to move. This transparent attempt to sanitise ISIS control of these Iraqi chemical weapons contrasts unfavourably with what the head of US intelligence had said eight years previously.
Chemical weapons – a strategic asset
for ISIS
ISIS is now widely recognised as a very well-organised extremist organisation that even publishes annual reports detailing each year's achievements in terms of bombings, assassinations, etc. It is also rather well-endowed, and has many Middle Eastern donors with deep pockets. Its bank balance is currently estimated at about US$2 billion.
Iraq, Syria and Eastern Europe contain a number of chemical weapons experts, at least some of whom may be open to offers of lucrative employment in the field of applied chemical weapons research.
It is a real possibility that ISIS is at this moment actively aspiring to add chemical weapons to its repertoire of terror. From its point of view, chemical weapons would be just what the doctor ordered. Perhaps more than any other weapon of mass destruction, chemical weapons can terrorise entire populations.
Why has the US not destroyed all
Iraqi chemical weapons?
The US has known for many years of the existence of these Iraqi chemical weapons. Given that the US was willing to violate the UN Charter to eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, why did it not act immediately to destroy them after its conquest of Iraq?
The US and the UK have known of the chemical weapons stored at the Al Muthanna complex since the UN inspections in the early 1990s. Why did they not act swiftly to ensure their complete and irreversible destruction?
has the OPCW not overseen the destruction of Iraq's
declared chemical weapons?
The Chemical Weapons Convention finally entered into force for Iraq on 12 February 2009. We know that the Al Muthanna complex was reported to the OPCW in Iraq's initial declaration. Why has the OPCW, which is dominated by the US, not lifted a finger since then to irreversibly destroy Iraq's last remnants of chemical weapons? This act of omission is certainly a major violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Or, if it was not an act of omission, what was the political rationale for not destroying these chemical weapons?
Why has the OPCW apparently ignored
chemical weapons produced by rebels?
In the meantime the West and the OPCW need to revisit the arrest by the Iraqi military, in June 2013, of five men, members of al Qaeda, who were producing mustard gas and sarin at two sites in Baghdad.
The OPCW also neglected to investigate the arrest in Turkey, in May 2013, of five men, members of the al Qaeda-aligned al Nusra Front and Ahrar ash-Sham. Turkish police made a very detailed allegation charging them with the possession of 2.2 kg of sarin. When Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov asked why the Turks were being backward in coming forward about this matter, Turkey's foreign minister eventually responded, claiming that it was anti-freeze. But Turkey is in bed with Syria's rebels, and has every reason to avoid discrediting them.
It is important to recall that, early in 2013, when rebel forces appeared to be gaining the upper hand, the West and its Middle Eastern allies for some time supported rebel coalitions including the al Nusra Front and other extremist groups.
Although both Turkey and Iraq were then members of the OPCW, these incidents of the alleged use of chemical weapons by rebel groups were apparently neither reported to the OPCW nor independently investigated by it.
The West and the Saudis consistently behaved as though their Syrian rebel allies of the time, who included extremist groupings, could not possibly have stooped so low as to produce chemical weapons. This also applied to the first major alleged use of a chemical weapon in Khan al-Assal, Syria. The government of Syria reported this to the UN Secretary-General, alleging that al Nusra rebels were responsible. The West immediately drowned out the government of Syria with counter-allegations that its armed forces, rather than Western-friendly rebels, were undoubtedly behind this incident.
Why did the US and the West systematically disregard clear evidence of chemical weapons production by rebel groups based outside Syria, with clear organisational links to Syrian rebel groups?
The West must face
facts: extremist groups can produce and use chemical
Until now the West has maintained, in the face of convincing evidence to the contrary, that extremist groups in the Middle East (its former allies in Syria) are unable to produce chemical weapons. Al Qaeda in Iraq was shown to be producing chemical weapons very efficiently, while al Nusra in Turkey was in possession of a significant quantity of sarin. And now ISIS …
If the testimony of the head of US intelligence to the Senate is to be believed, ISIS now has access to significant quantities of mixed and unmixed chemical agents. Given its formidable resources, ISIS clearly has the capacity to convert these into chemical weapons. ISIS will certainly need some time to harness the full potential of these chemical weapons for use in its military campaigns.
The chemical weapons cat is well and truly out of the bag. Just as more and more states are signing up to the Chemical Weapons Convention, non state entities are showing that chemical weapons will continue to be a threat to international peace and security. The architects of the Chemical Weapons Convention were unable to anticipate that non state actors could produce chemical weapons in sufficient quantities to be a destabilising international force. Radical changes in chemistry are bringing the production of chemical weapons within the reach of backyard enthusiasts.
Extremist Muslim groups with a clear political agenda, backed up by considerable financial and organisational resources, are tearing a gaping hole in the fabric of a key multilateral disarmament treaty. If the West continues to bury its head in the sand in the face of what its former close rebel allies are doing, it will share responsibility when the chickens come home to roost.

It comes to something when fellow authors beg a fellow writer not to kill off a character but Stephen King and John Irving apparently did just that (see today's Independent pg 23) to try and convince J.K Rowling not to kill off Harry Potter at the end of the seven book series.
It reminds you of the pressure put on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when he tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes. In that instance it staved off the end for a while longer, so based on that precedent it might just work again.
The real tragedy is that the grim reaper can't be convinced to let a few great authors live on to produce another couple of masterpieces.

I haven't been to Chaya in quite a while, but was pleasantly surprised to find that their amazing "industry happy hour" had been replaced by an upgraded menu, and still wallet friendly drinks. (Like the Cha, with a ya at the end.) Looking over their martini menu, I was debating between the pomegranate & the french inspired cocktail when I overheard the waitress dish out the "specials" to the guy behind me.
Tangerine Margarita, On Fire?
Excuse me? I quickly called over the bartender & asked him if the drink was really on fire? No, he replied, this isn't a college bar shot. It was a spicy sweet cocktail that made my mouth tingly & happy all at the same time. I have no idea what was in it, but I do know, I'll certainly be going back for seconds... and thirds.
Plus their bacon wrapped dates & mini sliders were really yummy & I want to try the French Goat Cheese & Honey Lavender Gelee next time.

I strongly feel that Palin will be entering the race sooner than later.
If, however, she chooses not to run, I join William Jacobson's call for a Plan B: Anybody But Bachmann.
My strong opposition of Bachmann is not because of her lack of executive experience nor because of her inability to respond to simple questions from reporters. In short, it's her lack of class.
Bachmann owes Palin a tremendous debt of gratitude for helping her get reelected. Yes, Bachmann expressed her thanks immediately after the elections in 2010, but what is that worth in face of her current actions? How can one attempt to explain the hiring of a campaign manager who slammed Palin publicly and continues to lead your team in an underhanded campaign against her as a response to her support, endorsement, campaigning, and fundraisers for you?
Opposing a fellow candidate's policies is one thing. Attacking the person who enabled your reelection and is not even in the race yet is unacceptable and inexcusable. It shows classlessness, a lack of basic manners, and is totally un-presidential.
Here's an excerpt of William Jacobson's great piece on his blog, Legal Insurrection, that got overlooked a bit on Sunday amid the Perry hype. You can read the whole thing here.
There is only one candidate in the Republican field whose campaign staff has used trash talking Sarah Palin as a campaign strategy.
Michelle Bachmann and/or her senior staff have decided that the path to short-term success is to insult Palin and to present Bachmann as the only viable alternative to establishment Republicans.
First it was Ed Rollins publicly insulting Palin almost at the very moment Bachmann announced her run; at the time I left open the possibility that Rollins had gone rogue, but Bachmann herself never made it right and Rollins still is the brains behind her campaign.
Next was this report of what is going on in the run up to the Iowa straw poll:
"I like Sarah Palin a lot," Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said at Thursday night's Republican presidential debate. "We are very good friends." …
But a personal relationship between the conservative female leaders has, in fact, been nonexistent for the past 16 months, as aides from Bachmann's camps have privately — and sometimes publicly — disparaged Palin to an extent that has caused growing exasperation in Palin world. That behind-the-scenes rancor is now boiling over as the former Alaska governor inches closer to a presidential run.
Some of the volunteers who have been organizing here in the nation's first voting state for a potential Palin campaign have been particularly miffed by what they describe as a concerted effort from the Bachmann camp to spread rumors that Palin has already decided not to run and will eventually endorse the Minnesotan.
"It is so pervasive and so continuous that it can't be rogue people doing it without the understanding and encouragement from the candidate herself," a Palin supporter in Iowa told RCP. "The entire Bachmann team has gone around the state saying Palin is a lightweight and a quitter and saying that Sarah's about to endorse Michele. Bachmann's campaign is radioactively dirty. They are shameless."
In the whispering campaign against Palin, Bachmann likely picked up some supporters who were hoping for better but figuring Bachmann was the best they could get.
Michele Bachmann is entitled to run her campaign any way she wants, and using typical Ed Rollins tactics is her prerogative.
But millions of Palin supporters — some of whom support her for President, others of whom merely support her because of what she stands for and has gone through — are entitled to take Bachmann's campaign tactics into account when choosing a "Plan B" should Palin decide not to run. Michelle Bachmann has spit on those supporters at her political peril.
For me, Plan B means anyone but Bachmann. And it is enough to finally get me motivated for the primaries.
In all probability, Plan B will never see the day of light. However, I consider Bachmann's lack of basic human gratitude as a blemish never to be erased or forgotten even several elections down the line.

Objectives: Falls occur frequently among older adults and can lead to a range of adverse and debilitating outcomes. Although symptoms of clinical anxiety have been implicated as risk factors for falls, there is no current consensus on the empirical association between anxiety and falls. The current study aimed to address this gap in the literature by conducting a quantitative, meta-analytic review of findings from previous studies. Method: A systematic literature search of bibliographic databases was conducted, yielding 18 studies that fit the criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Results: A random-effects model of all 18 studies showed a significant overall odds ratio of 1.53 ( 95% CI 1.28–1.83, p < .001 ), indicating that elevated levels of anxiety were associated with a 53% increased likelihood of falls. A high amount of variance among effect sizes was observed. Only age was identified as a moderator of this relationship in a subgroup of the samples. Conclusions: Clinical anxiety is associated with falls, however, further research is required to elucidate the factors that might moderate or mediate this relationship, the casual pathways through which they are related, and the associations between different types of anxiety and falls.

Final Sale. No refunds or exchange
Does your baby really object to wet against her skin as well as need a bit more absorbency?
Here is your solution! This booster combines the benefits of the stay-dry fleece layer with the added absorbency of two layers of super thirsty rayon from bamboo/organic cotton.
The fleece between her skin and the insert allows moisture to pass through but not come back up, while the bamboo fibres drink up the wetness.
This booster is great in combination with the 2-layer Bamboo Insert or 3-layer Bamboo Insert for extra absorbency and stay-dry protection!

Next weekend, that is. Naughty Dog, the game's makers, will roll out a playlist called "The Lab" featuring some tinkered and tweaked gameplay variations but, more importantly, you earn double cash during the first run.
The studio wants your feedback on the playlists and the settings, setting aside new threads on the community forum to gather input. Next weekend, May 28 to June 1, begins with a 2-on-2 team deathmatch, a first-to-25 contest (or 15 minutes, whichever comes first) "to prove your small-team superiority."
"The Lab" on June 11 - 14 will be a shotguns-only configuration, no grenades either. The June 25-28 event gives teams Dragon Sniper rifles, one life per round. "Best of 5 rounds takes the match win. Absolutely tense, totally tactical."
Those are the planned scenarios. Future versions of "The Lab" will run every other week for the foreseeable future. The weekends run from 10 a.m. Pacific time on Friday to 10 a.m. Pacific the following Tuesday. The Double Cash weekend also raises the per-match cash limit to $150,000, as has been the practice.

Creative Nugget: The morning glories were colored with copic markers and cut with a Labels Six Die. While still in the die, a little Broken China Distress Ink was added around the outside edge. This was all layered on some of my favorite Bo Bunny DP and a fence die cut. The Fanciful Flourish die cut was woven through the fence posts. Several of the flowers were stamped and colored a second time so they could be popped up for depth. A sentiment, pearls, and a rhinestone were added to finish the card.
My second sample features everyone's favorite mouse, Cocoa. Korin has done it again...another adorable Cocoa clear stamp set that has Cocoa peeking out of an Easter egg! The "Egg-cited Cocoa" clear stamp set also includes five sentiments perfect for Easter and throughout the year.

You've probably noticed that I haven't been blogging with the same zeal (comical rage-aliciousness? passionate flabbergasttedy?) as I have in the past. This blogging lull is for a variety of reasons, ranging from ordinary blog fatigue to dude-the-Sabres-blow-itus, but I am hoping it's just a lull, not a permanent situation. In the last month I've given some real thought to closing up shop on the blog, but I'm not there yet. I don't want to quit, and I especially don't want to quit while the Sabres are being so…meh.
If I quit now, then Tim Connolly wins. He will have beaten me. That's not going to happen. Not on my watch.
So, we slog forward. (See, right here is a perfectly decent excuse to keep blogging. If I didn't have a blog about the Buffalo Sabres, I would have considerably fewer excuses to use the word "slog" in public. Not using the word "slog" is no way to live.)
I'm curious to find out how I'll remember a season like this after a lifetime of fandom. (And please, if you happen to be there at my deathbed in 70 years [I plan on living until I'm 105], please do NOT ask me to spend any of my last moments on earth attempting to recall the 2010/11 Sabres. That's no way to die.) I suspect I'll forget all about this season. To be honest, I'm barely keeping track of them from one game to the next right now. I had to think reeeeally hard this morning trying to remember the Sabres opponent at the game I attended with Heather three weeks ago (Ducks). It's not that I haven't been paying attention (I still watch whenever I can, and I still want them to win), but that funny thrilling desperation for wins is very muted this year. That tired expression, "Don't get too high, and don't get too low," is….laughable this season. The rally cry of the Sabres fan is more like, "Try not to fall asleep during the 2nd period. Maybe lay off the boxed wine, you filthy lush."
And that's really all I have to say about the current state of the Sabres. Well, that and, "Ryan Miller, I want to be happy for you and your starlet fiance, but seriously, your lack of crankiness is worrisome. I realize it's difficult to stay cranky when you're sleeping with a super-mega hottie, but Crunchy, you must try. Without your crankiness, I'm afraid you're considerably less charming. Your super powers in net seem to depend on you being an unhappy person. That sucks for you, but you'll have plenty of time to be happy after you retire. I'm pretty sure I speak for all Sabres fans when I say- it's time to ditch the woman you love. Sorry!"
But this Pegula thing is genuinely interesting.
I have high hopes for Pegasaurus if only because he might fire some people, and then, at the very least we'll have a new set of problems to complain about.
Here's a story to illustrate my point: Last year on trade deadline day, I ran into Kevin [of Bfloblog fame] at the arena. He was making fun of me for being all gung-ho about our new Sabre, Raffi Torres. It wasn't that Kevin was anti-Torres, it was more that he had learned over time not to get too worked up over Darcy's deadline acquisitions. He found my enthusiasm amusing. Now, Kevin was ultimately proved 100% right. The correct response to acquiring Torres is NOT, "yay." Sweet baby Jebus, no. The correct response is, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! WHY GOD, WHY?!" with lots of fist shaking towards the sky. But still. I want to live in a world where giddy enthusiasm over a trade deadline acquisition is expected, not weird and misplaced. Even if we wind up loathing the next GM with the passion of a trillion white-hot suns, we're still going to enjoy a brief period of not knowing what to expect. We'll have tons to talk about, and tons to analyze, for better or for worse, and hopefully we'll get at least one really interesting trade deadline day out of the deal. (Sell, New Guy! SELL!)
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, just like everyone else in town, I'm pro-Funky-Cold-Pegula. Very.
Hey! I just had a really good idea! Maybe we can cheer Darcy Reiger up [presuming he gets fired] by giving him Ryan Miller's fiance. We can send Darcy off with a smile on his face, and we can piss Ryan Miller off, something fierce. Two birds, one stone, you know?

"I have not done anything wrong, I have not broken any laws, I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee," Lerner told House Oversight and Government Reform Committee members. "While I would very much like to answer the committee's questions today, I have been advised by my counsel to assert my constitutional right not to testify or answer questions related to the subject manner of this hearing."She lied and her e-mails prove it (WSJ).
Congress's investigation into the IRS targeting of conservatives has been continuing out of the Syria headlines, and it's turning up news. Emails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee between former Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner and her staff raise doubts about IRS claims that the targeting wasn't politically motivated and that low-level employees in Cincinnati masterminded the operation.
In a February 2011 email, Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a Tea Party matter is "very dangerous," and is something "Counsel and [Lerner adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on." Ms. Lerner adds, "Cincy should probably NOT have these cases."
...The emails also put the targeting in the context of the media and Congressional drumbeat over the impact of conservative campaign spending on the 2012 elections. On July 10, 2012 then Lerner-adviser Sharon Light emailed Ms. Lerner a National Public Radio story on how outside money was making it hard for Democrats to hold their Senate majority.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had complained to the Federal Election Commission that conservative groups like Crossroads GPS and Americans for Prosperity should be treated as political committees, rather than 501(c)(4)s, which are tax-exempt social welfare groups that do not have to disclose their donors.
"Perhaps the FEC will save the day," Ms. Lerner wrote back later that morning.
That response suggests Ms. Lerner's political leanings, and it also raises questions about Ms. Lerner's intentions in a separate email exchange she had when an FEC investigator inquired about the status of the conservative group the American Future Fund. The FEC and IRS don't have the authority to share that information under section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code. But the bigger question is why did they want to? After the FEC inquiry, the American Future Fund also got a questionnaire from the IRS.
So, Darrell Issa, when will Ms. Lerner be recalled to appear in front of your committee?

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the Gods will drive our ships to new land,
to fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
In my house, this tune is known as the "Viking Song" - although I kind of chuckle at the more overt xenophobia (or perhaps its just tongue-in-cheek) of Led Zeppelin's original title: "The Immigrant Song." Anyway, it's a big favorite of my two oldest, who are known to wail along with Plant as he garbles the chorus:
On we sweep with threshing oar,
our only goal will be the western shore.
Usually, hearing the song prompts my oldest guy to want to talk about Vikings, and in particular about Berserkers. History tells us that Berserkers were fairly terrifying - clad in the skin of wolves or bears and fighting with a ferocity that was seemingly unmatched in the ancient world. It has been suggested that the word "berserker" itself comes from a perversion of the ancient Norse words meaning "bear shirt." To me, that seems like it is a bit too convenient. What is clear, however, is that one of the lasting legacies of the berserkers' trancelike fury is our modern word "berserk."
Every May, our neighboring town of Poulsbo hosts Viking Fest. Billed as a celebration of the town's Norwegian heritage, it is actually little more than a street carnival and an excuse to eat funnel cakes and ride spinning rides (with occasionally disastrous results if you do both in rapid succession). Also, there's the swag. By far the most popular item seems to be the plastic viking helmet, complete with horns. They must sell thousands of these things, and I confess that my two oldest boys each have one.
Honestly, I've never understood the horned helmet. If you were going into battle, it seems to me that having horns affixed to either side of your head would just give your enemy something extra to grab onto. Anyway, who am I to argue with the historical accuracy of hundreds of years of Viking stereotypes?
The one problem with the Viking hat, at least as far as I can tell, is that it doesn't come in a small enough size. Also, metal and horn (or extruded plastic if you get your hat at Viking Fest) is kind of scratchy on delicate skin. What a guy really needs is a kindler, gentler Viking hat. One that pays homage to the fiercesome legacy of Viking warriors, while still being snuggly. One that works even if your idea of pillaging is rooting at your mother's breast.
Problem solved. Here is my youngest, in Viking hat made from Berroco Comfort. Snuggly and - since its a nylon/acrylic blend - washable. That last bit is really important - pillaging can get messy.

RENTAL HOMES IN ST CLOUD FLORIDA– While news reports of a down housing market may have discouraged many would be homeowners from taking the plunge back into buying Real Estate; investors flocked at the opportunity to scoop up distressed property at a huge discount.
Contrary to popular belief, Investors are not necessarily guys in business suits but rather average people with a basic understanding that timing is everything when it comes to buying and selling real estate. Buy low, sell high. Declining value means opportunity.
Investors watched the market here closely. As the glut of foreclosed homes hit the market, they had an ample supply of inventory to choose from. Most were looking for 3 bedroom 2 bath homes in St Cloud Florida.
Why developments don't work as good investments.
While planned developments appeal to the average consumer, novice investors lost their shirts when the housing market peaked back in 2007. Why? Savvy investors look at the bottom line. Novice investors don't.
Novice investors, did not factor in the carrying costs and additional fees as part of their investment properties in St. Cloud Florida. For that reason sub divisions while appealing to consumers as primary residences are attractive, are losing propositions for seasoned investors who know the burden of additional taxation such as CCD fees and Home Owners Association fees chipped away at their profit margins.
CDD fees (community District Development) are bonds the builders put in place to pay for amenities like sidewalks, street lighting, club houses, community pools and common areas. These bonds are rolled into the property tax paid by Kissimmee and St Cloud Florida home owners.
Comparing apples to apples, a 3 bedroom 2 bath home within the city limits of St Cloud Florida (outside of development) may have property taxes within a range of $2000-3000. A similar home inside a development with CDD fees would have a tax base of $3000-4000. Not including the additional cost of the home owners association fees. It is not hard to figure out why they went belly up when the market went flat. They got caught short as value began to decline and the carrying costs were prohibitive from profitable renting.
Rental demand is on the rise. The hundreds of thousands of people that got caught up in frenzy of the heated real estate market between 2005-2007 have lost their homes. As a result, they are now converted renters. Rents are predicted to rise annually as the demand for housing increases. A 3 bedroom home in St. Cloud Florida will fetch $900-$950 a month. A four (4) bedroom home can expect to yield $1200-1500 a month in the St Cloud Florida Area
While it is true that prices have slowly inched up over a year ago, at about a 6% gain, the selection of quality homes has decreased proportionately. What is coming to market now, are homes which have been in the foreclosure process for years in some cases. As a result they need a great deal of work to bring them back to rent-able status.
Early on, banks were reluctant to sell to investors, in fact, many would not. They were holding out for the new wave of first time home owners who would finance the purchase through them giving them one more opportunity to try and recapture their bad debt. That wave never materialized. What did materialize were buyers offering cash for investment properties.
In a time where we are seeing values finally starting to rise, sompared to other parts of the country, Osceola County, specifically St. Cloud Homes have seen a median sales price rise on resale properties, which is currently at $185,200.

El Patron
By Stephen Herrero
Bison were the lords of the prairie. These imposing animals are the largest terrestrial animals in North America. Hunted almost to extinction, they have since rebounded and can be seen on public and private land across the U.S. While they appear peaceful and laid back, they are very temperamental and will attack without warning and for no apparent reason, particularly during rutting season when they become belligerent, unpredictable and pose the most threat.
Appearing to stand on a precipice, Stephen Herrero's depiction of a bull bison is cold cast in polystone and hand painted in fine detail. Signed by the artist. Measures 10-3/4" tall x 9-1/8" x 4-1/4".

Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement, which invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. What started out as an invitation from the Archbishop's of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
The hope is that:
- people will commit to pray with God's world-wide family – as a church, individually or as a family;
- churches will hold prayer events, such as 24-7 prayer, prayer stations and prayer walks, across the UK and in other parts of the world;
- people will be empowered through prayer by the Holy Spirit, finding new confidence to be witnesses for Jesus Christ.
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth. When he said this…he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight…Then they returned to Jerusalem…and were constantly devoting themselves to pray…
When the day of Pentecost had come they were all together in one place…All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit…and that day about three thousand persons were added." Acts 1,2
"In praying 'Thy Kingdom Come' we will all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities." Archbishop Justin Welby
So what about within the District
Within the District we are encouraging churches and circuits to get involved in Thy Kingdom Come, to set up events during the period of time, and where possible to work with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
To take part, you can find more information on Thy Kingdom Come website and sign up to 'pledge to pray.'
For more information and encouragement watch the video produced by The Revd Rachel Parkinson which can be found here.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has also produced a video on the particular aims of Thy Kingdom Come which can be found here.
