The Vampire Diaries Review: Killer Consequencesby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Elena kicked off this episode of The Vampire Diaries by stabbing Jeremy in the neck. She ended it by stabbing Stefan in the heart.
In between, there were hallucinations, unexpected returns, heartfelt pleas, professor-based revelations, a hilarious reference to Van Helsing and one seriously bloody step taken by the fresh-faced new hunter in town.
Yes, "We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes," TVDers. Especially when protecting our loved ones...
What a tremendous job this hour did in tying together all characters and storylines.
Caroline, Tyler and Hayley had felt as if they were on the outside looking in on events in Mystic Falls, but here their de-siring plans came into direct (read: deadly) contact with Elena's crazy visions. We learned more about April's father... and his connection to Professor Shane... while Bonnie remains under his dangerous wing... and, of course, Jeremy is tied to both Bonnie (via their feelings) and Elena, Tyler, Damon and company (via his axe).
Everyone has a role to play, everyone is playing it well and nary a second of the hour feels wasted. That's impressive stuff.
However, I should really begin at the end, shouldn't I? The splitting of Stelena is sure to wreak havoc among TVD fans, but let's try to move past the 'shipper wars and give props for how this break-up was handled.
Unlike some issues I took with the love triangle on The Vampire Diaries Season 3, Elena was open and honest in her closing conversation with Stefan. She wasn't oscillating. She wasn't whining. She was direct and logical, based on what we've seen over the past few weeks: this really is a darker Elena and she really does have a lot more in common with Damon.
We've been told for ages that being a vampire "magnifies" one's feelings. And we've watched her bond with Damon grow. I completely bought Elena's reasoning and I appreciate that Julie Plec and company didn't drag this will-she-or-won't-she out any longer. She WILL, Delena lovers. Let the anticipation begin...
As for the hallucinations, these were strange and powerful images. They were also revealing. A bloody Connor? A taunting Katherine? A duplicitous mother? The Vampire Diaries has gone all-in with Elena's transition, taking the time to show it from every angle. She's sorry she killed Connor... but she also admits it felt great to taste his blood.
She doesn't ever want to be Katherine... but she's more like her than ever before. She worries that she's responsible for her parents' death... and now she's also to blame for Jeremy's necessary transformation.
It's safe to say Elena is going through A LOT these days - and Nina Dobrev is positively killing (pun, intended!) each and every scene/emotion.
Oh, right, about that Jeremy fella: what a fascinating storyline! So now he's a Hunter. What does that mean, exactly? Will he develop an urge to kill vampires? Will he be pushed to do so in order to complete his map and lead everyone toward a cure?
And how does Professor Shane enter into all of this? He clearly played some role in the Pastor blowing up the Council. He eerily warned Bonnie that she best turn to him when the map is complete. But does that mean he's truly a bad guy?
He may know something we don't (correction, this is The Vampire Diaries: he definitely knows something we don't...) and his aims may very well be noble. My guess is that he sincerely wants to do right by the residents of Mystic Falls. Unfortunately, he likely believes the supernaturals that inhabit this town do not feel the same way.
My only complaint about the episode? The Caroline/Tyler tension. It just seems silly and contrived. I want to see these two teaming up to help other Hybrids and playing Klaus for their own purposes, not fighting one second, pretending to fight the next, and then fighting for real once again.
But Jeremy awakened and Connor's legacy passed on? AWESOME. Elena and Stefan having an honest conversation about the state of their relationship? PERFECT. Elena next turning to Damon? INTRIGUING. More references to Alaric? TEAR-INDUCING.
Another great episode. What did everyone else think?

YES! Its time for DELENA people!
dont they get tired of always fighting though? my issue with stefan wanting this cure is that hes working with the dude he fought for the past two seasons who terrorized his gf and her friends, killing people along the way, and want to save her from vampirism so she can become a human bloodbag for klaus again???thats so dumb..his love for (or ability to love)elena is more important than the trouble that can come from klaus making more hybrids and terrorizing elena again? very selfish.
im kind of tired of this killing people to save elena crap lets face it how many people have died so she could live??shes week and everybody else has to pay for that its either damon or stefan giving up everything for her,and for what really??it dosent make sense anymore,from season 1 to 4 she keeps saying she would her life to save others but that didnt happen even once its crazy
her love for stefan was magnified but this break up wasnt about her choosing who she loved more. they broke up because she has feelings for someone else period. and insult to injury, his brother of all people. Idc who she ends up with, im just happy that they finally said the truth to each other out loud and that stefan chose himself for once in his life instead of waiting around for elena to choose. and its nice to see elena being honest with herself and stefan
I'm having a problem with getting into the new Elena. It isn't that appealing of a story line. Seems like everyone on the show is a monster. She was the most human, now she isn't.
Yep am right wit ya lynn damon can't do such a selfish thing 2 his brother.especially it comes 2 familly busness,i can' wait 2 see how next will be th elena baby vamp.
Amo esta serie y amo a Ian
and another thing- i loved damons character when hes not around elena hes so much more care free and fun when hes not constantly worrying about what elena thinks and feels and shes hurt him so many times I think he needs to get over her. I would actually be mad at both if they both run into each other's arms for DAMONS self respect and for the love of his brother. He knew Elena meant the world to stefan. Come on, you cant be that heartless. Thatd be like the love of your life getting with your best friend. She ereally needs to earn damon's love if she is going to end up with him,imo.
i want and hope Delena gets a real chance this time !!! not dreams not hallucinations .an actual relationship .although i would have liked then to be a couple when elena was human .this will do !
I would love to see Damon get sick of the games with elena and find a beautiful woman and forget about elena. Stefan and Damon should dump her, the show is getting boring with the love triangle. That was played out last season. Love Klaus, I hope we see alot more of him. He is the only reason I am still watching.

In Profile: Wagner, Ratigan, Kohn
- MSNBC's Alex Wagner and her fiancé, White House chef Sam Kass, are profiled in Vogue. "Alex has that one rare quality that is imperative for success in this business," MSNBC president Phil Griffin says. "She is totally authentic on the air. She's smart, genuine, and connects with her audience."
- Men's Journal talks with "one of the great shouters," former MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan. "I was exhibiting more and more aggressive behavior in a more public forum, and that was beneficial in the short term and utterly self-destructive in the long term," Ratigan says of his time as a cable news host.
- Former Fox News contributor Sally Kohn, who recently signed with CNN, tells National Review how her television career began as a panelist on Sean Hannity's show. "About a year later I saw Roger Ailes on the street outside of Fox," she says. "I waved at him, he waved at me, we had a meeting, he offered me a job. It went like that."

I was remembering how difficult it was at times to 'read' my teenage daughters body language when trying to talk to them about issues or poor decisions, and how often I failed at knowing when was or wasn't the right time to 'talk' to them. With this modern age of technology anything you want information on is right at your fingertips...so to save you some time and hopefully some heartache and struggles, here's an article I found on line to help you with The Joys of Raising Teenagers.
How to Read Teen Body Language
By Jennifer Patterson, eHow Contributor
Parents who have teenage children sometimes find it difficult to communicate with them. Learning to read teen body language is one way to get an idea of what they are trying to tell you. Communication skills, just like any other skills, must be learned. Teens are known to use body language more frequently than words. If you study your teens and observe their various body language, you will be able to communicate with them in a more effective way.
o Read teen body language by looking at the arms. When a person crosses their arms, this is usually an indication that he wants to be left alone. Your teenager may not be in the mood to talk at that moment. If his hands are relaxed at his side, he is more open to talk to you.
o Look for nervous gestures when reading teen body language. Fidgeting with hair or scratching the head repeatedly may mean that the teen is nervous about something or trying to hide something from you.
o Notice the eye movements when reading teen body language. You can tell if the teen is interested in what you are saying or if her mind is wandering. If the teen keeps looking away often while you are talking, that normally means that there is no interest in what you are saying.
o Look at the head movements. Sometimes a person may hold his head down. That may mean that the person is ashamed about something. It could also mean that the person is in deep thought.
Tips & Warnings
Some teens may have different body language than others.
And remember, it never hurts to say a quick quiet prayer before you begin your talk or discussion with your teenagers.

Picoides pubescens
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
The active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and nuthatches, barely outsizing them. An often acrobatic forager, this black-and-white woodpecker is at home on tiny branches or balancing on slender plant galls, sycamore seed balls, and suet feeders. Downies and their larger lookalike, the Hairy Woodpecker, are one of the first identification challenges that beginning bird watchers master.

The same technology used to locate lost pets is now being used to track common backyard birds. Scientists and students at the Cornell Lab have collected data on hundreds of thousands of feeder visits so far by Black-capped Chickadees and other birds. Tiny tags weighing less than one-tenth of a gram are attached to the birds' legs and are detected each time the birds visit specially-rigged feeders. Watch this in which David Bonter describes the radio frequency identification (RFID) technique and what we can learn by keeping track of who's coming to dinner.Cornell Lab of Ornithology;
Where they occur, Downy Woodpeckers are the most likely woodpecker species to visit a backyard bird feeder. They prefer suet feeders, but are also fond of black oil sunflower seeds, millet, peanuts, and chunky peanut butter. Occasionally, Downy woodpeckers will drink from oriole and hummingbird feeders as well. Find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the Project FeederWatch Common Feeder Birds bird list.
Look for Downy Woodpeckers in woodlots, residential areas, and city parks. Be sure to listen for the characteristic high-pitched pik note and the descending whinny call. In flight, look for a small black and white bird with an undulating flight path. During winter, check mixed-species flocks and don't overlook Downy Woodpeckers among the nuthatches and chickadees – Downy Woodpeckers aren't much larger than White-breasted Nuthatches.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

A+ Review Greatly Benefits the SDSU Community.
We Benefit Society by Increasing Graduation Rates and We Save SDSU and the State of California Money.
1. With nearly 50% of SDSU Freshman not staying on to graduate SDSU even after 5-years, A+ Review fights to help keep more of these students in school and graduating on time. That saves the State a ton of money. We get these students out of their dormrooms and apartments and into our 6-hour super review where we get them ready for their exams.
We are clearly helping to improve graduation rates among freshman.
2. Some transfer students have historically struggled with the jump from their local community college to the big university. A+ Review is there as an option for these students to help with poor or forgetten math skills and to help prep for exams. Many students have full or part time jobs. A+ Review helps save these students time and helps them learn the material quickly. Together, we typically work through as many as 100 problems and we review many important concepts. Our students LEARN the exam material very well.
We increase the graduation rate of transfer students, greatly benefiting SDSU and the State of California.
We cost the SDSU University and the taxpayers nothing
. We are entirely self-funded.
4. Our tutoring rates are
low when compared to local tutors who charge $25 an hour, $40 an hour, sometimes $50 an hour, and we have seen $100 an hour. Our prorated hourly fee is around $12 an hour and includes materials, food, drinks, etc.
We offer a great value to the SDSU student community
Please support our efforts to help students score high and excel at SDSU. Thank you!

First pictures of Naomi Watts as the late Princess Diana from Caught in Flight leaked.
There was always going to be a cinematic depiction of the People's Princess. And now that moment is here, with the first set shots of the late Diana's biopic revealed.
With the autobiographical film of the late Princess Diana well and truly in motion, the paparazzi have been snooping around the set spying out the first pictures of actress Naomi Watts in her Diana get-up. And with an obviously remarkable make-up team at the helm of the transformation, the 43-year-old Watts looks like she's fully embracing her make-over.
Complete with the dusty blonde coiffured hair and Diana's signature eyeliner Watts would cause more than a double glance if walking down the street. Pictures of Watts also seem to capture the late Diana's slightly awkward body language and famous, yet awkward, sideways glances.
Admitting she was 'absolutely terrified' of taking on the role, Naomi Watts stepped up to the challenge when The Help star Jessica Chastain pulled out of the starring role last year. The British-born, Australian actress also shared worries about not looking enough like the late Royal.
'Look, I'm a great admirer of Princess Diana but I look in the mirror and can't see I have any resemblance,' Watts revealed earlier this year. 'It worries me, but the film makers seem to see something. I never met Princess Diana though I would have liked to.'
Caught in Flight, meanwhile, will chart Princess Diana's life in her final years as a Royal, including her secret romance with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. The film will, of course, end with her shocking, fatal car crash in Paris, 1997, with Dodi Al Fayed also in the vehicle.
With the film's director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, affirming Watts as 'a truly exceptional actress', he goes on to tell us to expect a performance that embodies 'the warmth, humanity and empathy of such a global icon as Princess Diana.'
With Watts additionally noted the People's Princess as 'a part of our history, an incredible woman and fascinating, but with a tragic ending,' we can but expect one emotional rollercoaster of a film.

Court battle over Pitchfork Media video showing rapper Chief Keef with a rifle
BY FRANK MAIN Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 20, 2012 6:40PM
Chicago rapper Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart.
Related Stories
Updated: December 22, 2012 6:26AM
Chief Keef's legal troubles have sparked a First Amendment fight between Cook County prosecutors and a Chicago-based Internet music publication.
Keef, a popular rapper whose real name is Keith Cozart, is facing a possible return to juvenile jail for violating the terms of his probation on a gun conviction.
On Tuesday, Judge Carl Anthony Walker heard lawyers' First Amendment arguments over a video that Pitchfork Media posted online showing Keef holding a rifle.
Keef, 17, is serving 18 months of probation for pointing a gun at a Chicago cop. He was barred from handling firearms as a condition of his probation.
Keef was in the video — made at a New York gun range in June — just three days after the judge warned him not to handle guns, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors, who intend to use the video to show the judge that Keef violated his probation, aren't satisfied with the online version.
They're seeking the original copy, but Pitchfork Media, which produced the video, says the Illinois Reporter's Privilege Act allows the company to withhold it.
"This pushes the envelope to the edge of harassment," said Pitchfork attorney Travis Life, saying prosecutors can establish Keef was holding a gun through other means such as putting witnesses on the stand.
The judge said he needs to consider the lawyers' First Amendment arguments and scheduled another hearing on Dec. 5.

Have children cut out pictures from the free winter worksheet and then classify. Clothing goes on one page, winter food on another. Make sure you have taught this winter theme activity using real objects as suggested in the math activities section on the previous page.
Put 4 or 5 white pages together, staple at the top, then cut through all the pages at once to make a snowman shaped booklet.
Glue each category of winter words on individual pages, one for winter foods, one for winter clothes, another for winter weather.
Reading winter theme activities
Act out "The Mitten" story
- Read and compare two versions of "The Mitten 20th Anniversary Edition" (See books below)
- Pretend a table is the big white mitten and the children take turns being the various characters and crawling inside.
- Another winter theme activity is to make a snowy white mitten to practice sequencing the story. Use this large mitten tracer to make your own lightweight card mitten or purchase a big white mitten from the store.
- I always had the children make their own mitten, but relied on a parent helper to cut the mittens out, punch the holes, and help the kids sew them together with yarn.
- The children can then draw pictures of the animals, cut them out and retell the story. Have a chart posted with pictures of all the animals and the animal words on it.
Teacher Tip!
Some children spend way too long trying to cut out around each leg of the animals with the above and similar activities. The jagged cuts get caught on the sides of the mitten and tear. Teach them to draw a circle around each one of their animals and then cut out around the circle.

"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" - God is Great, God is Great. I wake up to the sound of the call to prayer on my second day in Mecca.
It is five in the morning when I leave my hotel to go to pray at the Grand Mosque, but you would never know it was so early.
The streets are overflowing. People walk briskly as they compete to secure their place as close as possible to the Kaaba, the building inside the Grand Mosque towards which all Muslims around the world pray.
Suddenly, amidst all the hustle and bustle, the voice of the imam - the prayer leader - echoes throughout. The prayer has started.
As if choreographed, the millions of pilgrims form almost perfect rows, all facing in the same direction.
And then: silence.
All that can be heard is the voice of the imam. No one talks, no sound of traffic, not another noise.
The order and discipline in which the pilgrims lined up to perform the prayer is astounding.
High alert
Over breakfast we decide that we will go to film the Saudi security forces as they demonstrate the preparations and precautions taken in advance of the largest gathering on earth.
Map - Tracking Hajj
From special services to ensuring no breach of security takes place, to mobile hospitals and thousands of fire fighters, it's apparent that the Saudis are determined not to allow disasters of past Hajj be repeated.
And while it is inevitable that three million people gathered anywhere makes it almost impossible to prevent any casualties or fatal incidents, one must admire the effort made by the authorities in Mecca this year.
Having said that, the real test is still to come, when the pilgrims follow Abraham's footsteps, and throw seven pebbles in Mina, where it is believed the Devil tried to dissuade Abraham from obeying God.
A stampede a few years ago resulted in hundreds of pilgrims dying during this ritual.
Affinity and familiarity
The sun had set by the time we returned from our shoot.
The lighting of the Grand Mosque cast a glow across its dark surroundings.
The affinity and familiarity I feel towards it still surprises me.
I take a walk around. Everywhere I look what I see makes me gasp.
Thousands of pilgrims lie asleep on the grounds of the mosque.
Muslims believe that if one performs Hajj, he or she returns sinless, like a baby.
But the rituals are also meant to remind the believer that all humanity is equal and that while we may be divided through race, class or circumstance in this world, we will all face our Creator in the hereafter.
It is only day two but these ideals and manifestations have become overwhelmingly apparent here in Mecca.

"Christian bloggers have been given a new set of 'Ten Commandments' aimed at delivering them from the temptations of online arguments," the Daily Telegraph of London reported September 27, 2008, in an article headlined "Bloggers given new Ten Commandments by church leaders."
According to reporter Alastair Jamieson:
The guidelines have been drawn up at a conference in London by the Evangelical Alliance in response to concern at how religious blogs can quickly descend into vitriol.
The commandments, based on those delivered to Moses by God at the top of Mount Sinai, order bloggers not to "make an idol" of their web space, not to misuse their screen name by using anonymity to sin and to remember the Sabbath by taking one day off a week from blogging. They also order: "You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind."
Jamieson said, "The Evangelical Alliance is an umbrella group founded in 1846 that represents thousands of churches of most denominations nationwide."

Marking Fields For Functionality
Raise your hand if your fields have an identity crisis.
Oh, come on. You know what I mean. With all the games that take place on an athletic field–soccer, football, lacrosse, field hockey, softball, kickball–fields have many roles to fill, and depending on where you are geographically, they may be in use year-round.
It's no surprise that there is an increased demand for sports facilities–economic setbacks have led many people to drop gym memberships and take advantage of local programs, and more parents have explored sports opportunities provided by parks and rec departments as an economical alternative to high-priced sports camps. In addition, more students than ever are participating in school athletic programs (many of which hold games on local municipal fields), and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Athletics Participation Survey, during the 2009-2010 school year, there were 4,455,740 boys and 3,172,637 girls involved in high-school athletics, for a total of 7,628,377. And that doesn't take into consideration the countless sports and social programs for adults and youth, the Little League, the travel and club teams, the home-school groups and others, in which players lace up their shoes and head out onto the field on a regular basis.
Having fields that serve multiple uses means that, with efficient scheduling, one set of fields can see action for an array of sports. Unfortunately, it also means that those fields have to be marked for varying uses. Soccer, football, field hockey and lacrosse (to name only a few) require different field sizes and different markings. Having lines for all those sports means a field becomes not only an aesthetic problem (being visually cluttered and crisscrossed with markings) but a confusion to athletes and officials (a potential for more than a few challenges and arguments).
So there you have it–a field with an identity crisis. Now, how do you get it off the therapist's couch and back in action? Easy–just listen to the advice of those who design, build, and mark fields for a living.
"With respect to field markings, it will be dictated largely if the fields are natural or synthetic turf," says Devin Conway of Verde Design in Santa Clara, Calif.
Natural Or Not?
The choice of whether a multiuse field should be made of natural grass or synthetic turf is best left to the municipality. While there is no official recommendation (and each side certainly has its fans and foes), it is essential to remember that this is a field that will get a great deal of use by a large number of athletes, all of whom have different needs and styles of play. Another important thing to consider is the geographic location and weather conditions.
Unlike its synthetic counterpart, a natural-grass field needs to rest between heavy uses (to avoid looking skinned and bare), and may not be able to be used in muddy or wet conditions, whereas synthetic fields have a drainage system that allows for less downtime after a rain. On the other hand, a natural field is less expensive to build, remains cooler during play, and is less expensive to repair. Ultimately, there is no "right" facility–but there is a facility that is right for a given situation.

Hi *,
I built a installcd which will be more or less what you can expect for

plus an additional squashfs patch which will also be moved to stable if
we don't encounter bugs we're currently unaware off.
Please give this installcd a try and report all problems to bugs.g.o!

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
Similar in size and shape to the chaffinch, the male has a black head in summer, and an orange breast with white belly. In flight it shows a long white rump. Gregarious in winter, it may form flocks of many thousands and often joins with chaffinches. Numbers can vary between winters depending on food supplies.
Fringilla montifringilla
Finches (Fringillidae)
In winter likes beech woodland, farmland fields near woods. Look in flocks of chaffinches and other finches. In autumn look along east coast woodlands and fields. Will visit gardens in winter.
Watch out for them from mid-September until March and April. Occasional birds stay into May or even later.
Seeds in winter; insects in summer.

Go around listen to how many times a day you say, "I love" instead of, "I hate." Isn't it interesting that children, as they learn the process of language, always learn the word "no" years before they learn the word "yes"? Ask linguists where they hear it. Maybe if they heard more of "I love, I love, I love" they'd hear it sooner and more often.Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
Knowing English is important, but for us Venezuelans I think it would also be important to know Portuguese. For that reason, we should evaluate the possibility of it being taught in our schools.Hugo Rafael Chvez Fras

To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language.William Cullen Bryant
Language is a gift that puts lyrics to the music of our lives. Without spoken language we wouldnt be able to say, I love you. Wed have to say uuurrrgghh or hold up a sign.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs fall one spot in ESPN Power Rankings
Things are going pretty well for the Arizona Diamondbacks these days.
Kirk Gibson's team is 32-24 and leading the National League West by 2.5 games entering a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals Monday.
They just finished up a 4-2 week that included a double header sweep of the AL West-leading Texas Rangers and back-to-back wins at Wrigley Field that saw them pound out 30 hits and score 20 runs.
So, how did they fall one spot in ESPN's latest MLB Power Rankings?
The Diamondbacks took a step back from 10th to 11th in this week's ranking, one spot behind the New York Yankees, who fell five spots after a disastrous 1-6 week.
David Schoenfeld of ESPN's SweetSpot blog wrote the following about the D-backs:
Patrick Corbin is now 9-0 with a 2.06 ERA, although he's given up four runs in each of his past two starts. Meanwhile, Wade Miley has lost four starts in a row, allowing 23 runs in 21 2/3 innings with six home runs allowed. Tyler Skaggs, after pitching six scoreless innings in his 2013 debut, starts again on Tuesday in a big series in St. Louis.

Best Practices in Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity Planning
It's every IT manager's worst nightmare: the call from the CEO to evacuate the data center because of a hurricane or other emergency. That's what happened to John Chaffe, IT director of New Orleans-based Tidewater Marine, the morning before Hurricane Katrina hit, and he ended up driving critical servers to shared office space in Houston.
Chaffe and other IT executives learned some important lessons about how to plan for business continuity with appropriate storage and backup strategies. And disaster recovery (DR) should be looked at not just in terms of business continuity and applications availability, but also for compliance reasons.
"Three years ago, Hurricanes Francis and Wilma destroyed three of our 11 campuses," says Dan Weiss, IT director at MedVance Institute of West Palm Beach, Fla., a chain of health professional training schools. "The IT director [at the time] had to operate our data center out of his house for about a week." Since then, Weiss has put together a solid disaster recovery plan that includes a collocated data center in Atlanta that is out of the path of most hurricanes.
Of course, IT operations can be interrupted for reasons other than natural disasters. So it's important to be prepared for any type of disruption.
"Our offices are in Manhattan, and one of our building's other tenants is Microsoft," says Mark Tirschwell, CTO of Wall Street Systems, a provider of financial services hosted systems. "They can shut down the building for an entire day when they need more power for their servers."
Tirschwell suggests conducting an extensive risk analysis and getting input from key stakeholders, such as operations people, department managers and application development managers. "Understand the key systems that will keep your business running and what will make a huge difference in your business operations," he advises.
It's also important to have a thorough understanding of the systems' interdependencies and which systems need to be brought up first.
"Systems need to be restored in a specific order and with specific Internet and LAN connections," says Mike Croy, director of business continuity solutions at Forsythe Solutions Group, a consulting firm in Skokie, Ill. "You need to know the business impact of losing connectivity and the compliance implications of losing critical customer records."
Once you have this information, make a detailed catalog of all your servers and services and understand the recovery-time objectives for each. Some of these systems need to be up and running within minutes, while others can wait hours or even days.
"We don't restore all our servers," says Lee Abner, technology director for CIB Marine Information Services, a Bloomington, Ill.-based subsidiary of CIB Marine Bancshares, a bank holding company. "Within the first 48 hours, we need roughly 30 of our servers that are mission-critical, such as e-mail, document management and check-imaging systems, along with backups of our Active Directory environment and anti-virus protection." The rest of the company's systems can wait, he says.
Munder Capital's disaster recovery priorities depend on the nature of the system. "We take snapshots ranging from every hour to every 15 minutes, depending on our systems," says Wolfgang Goerlich, network operations and security manager for the Birmingham, Mich.-based investment banking firm. "Our top-tier systems, such as trading, can have an issue if we lose even 15 minutes. Lower-tier systems, such as research, just generate reports once a day, so if they lose data for [a few] hours, it isn't as big of an issue. With our lowest-tier systems, our DR plan is to go out and buy boxes and bring them up in a couple of weeks."
Disaster Recovery: Moving Data to Safety
If you have a single data center, consider how and where you want to move your data out of harm's way. Solutions could range from purchasing a high-quality fire safe and putting backup tapes inside it each night, to paying for a remote hot backup site where the servers are constantly running and the data is being replicated in near real-time.
The migration process could involve a combination of steps, such as making backup tapes and moving them to a remote location on a set tape-rotation schedule, and then replicating data to another storage repository across the Internet.
"We looked into building our own backup site in-house, but the cost was about the same as paying for a provider, plus we would have had to pay for the entire costs up front," says Abner, who added that CIB Information Services ended up going with SunGard. "While I think SunGard is our best option, I caution anyone to make sure their initial contract will handle all sorts of situations."
For Miles and Stockbridge, a Baltimore law firm, multiple data centers or off-site storage would have been too costly, so the company has been "moving toward as many hosted solutions as possible," says CIO Ken Adams. The firm, which previously used Postini for its e-mail spam and anti-virus protection, switched to the hosted service from Mimecast. "All my e-mail goes through their service," he says. "They do the journaling and archiving, and I don't have to worry about backups."
The company also converted from PCDocs to NetDocuments' hosted document management service. "Law firms live and die by their documents, but I don't have to index them or worry about backups with NetDocuments, since they are off-site," Adams says.
Disaster Recovery: Virtualization Advantages
Virtualization offers benefits for both virtualized storage arrays and virtualized servers, both of which are helpful for restarting critical services and replicating servers across different data centers and offices. Products such as Microsoft's Hyper-V and VMware can be a less expensive substitute for close to near-time high availability. (See "Virtualization Is the New Clustering" in the August issue of Baseline.)
"The key thing for us was a very short recovery-time objective," says Munder Capital's Goerlich. The firm uses Compellent's virtual storage arrays, with the DR baked in. He says it takes just one click to activate DR and boot up the systems on a new box.
Eighty percent of the systems at CIB Marine are virtualized. As a result, the company was able to cut its hosting bill in half and save recovery time by consolidating servers at its backup site. "Before virtualization, it took us 48 hours and
12 staff people to recover our systems," Abner says. "Now, four of us can do it in 24 hours, and, for most of that time, we are just watching to make sure the systems are running properly."
Virtualization has also been a boon for Wall Street Systems. "All our mission-critical servers leverage it, so we can be up and running in short order," Tirschwell says. "We can use virtualization to make copies of a physical machine to help out with balancing our server loads. It saves us so much time with our operations."
The company uses eGenera's virtual rack-mounted highly available servers so it can quickly swap out blades or failing components without taking down applications. "Ten years ago, we would have needed a staff of 50 and pay a small fortune to do what we do now," Tirschwell says. "Plus, we can grow our virtual infrastructure and manage it with the same number of staff."
No matter what solution a company chooses, it should consider how it will staff the DR site, and whether the staff can actually get to the site—or be able to use the Internet to administer the machines remotely—in case of disaster.
"One thing we learned from Hurricane Francis is that the loss of centralized communications impacts your ability to work," says MedVance's Weiss. "Having a virtualized workspace means my staff can still get their jobs done as long as they have Internet connectivity and can log in to our Citrix portal."
MedVance has taken other steps, such as hiring CDW to help set up a LeftHand Networks storage-area network. The institute has also found that cell phone service is restored faster than other communications links, so it's supplying employees with cell phones for redundancy.
Finally, realize that no solution is universally applicable. "I can usually see the storms coming and have time to prepare for them," Tidewater Marine's Chaffe says. "So asynchronous replication works fine for me, but it may not work for others."
Croy of Forsythe Solutions agrees: "Everybody has built their infrastructure differently, and organizations have to realize that they are unique, so they have to build something that will protect their particular business."

Middle name May. Is month an issue?
We would like to use the middle name May for our second daughter. It would be an honour name after my husbands grandmother. We honoured my grandmother with our first daughters middle name. The only issue is that this baby is due in May! Is that awkward or cheesy? Also, we are considering the spelling Mae instead of May. My husbands grandmother spelled it May. Is that inappropriate when it is an honour name? Thanks for any advice.

I have a friend with the middle name May and she was born in May as well, I don't think it's cheesy at all. I think in her case it's possibly a family name too as she has a niece with the same middle name, and who wasn't born in May. It's such a popular name it's acceptable regardless of when the baby was born.
Also, I prefer May to Mae, I find Mae just looks trendy, but if you want to avoid the month assoication it might be your better option.

Yes, it's cheesy, but does that make it a bad thing? I don't think so, but it's your opinion that matters.
May is perfectly fine as a middle name. I'm sure people will assume she was born in May and that's why she has that as her name, but is that a bad thing? My cousin, Summer, is often assumed to be born in summer, when she was actually born in the fall. To me it's more accurate when you name a kid a season for it to be in the season, same with months, otherwise they get tons of jokes like "you should have been named Autumn"Our Cats:

The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native spent two years in the Western Canadian Junior Hockey League with stops in Victoria, Flin Flon and Saskatoon earning WCJHL First Team All-Star honours in 1973.
Prior to the 1973-74 season, the World Hockey Association's Cleveland Crusaders selected Pesut in the 1973 WHA Amateur Draft. Even though the Crusaders selected him, Pesut split his 1973-74 season with the Western Hockey League's Denver Spurs and the American Hockey League's Richmond Robins.
Midway through the 1973-74 season, the St. Louis Blues traded Pesut to the Philadelphia Flyers with whom he was a member for no more than a month before being dealt to the California Golden Seals. Pesut spent two seasons in California before joining the WHA's Calgary Cowboys after having his WHA rights traded by Cleveland in June of 1976.
Pesut's 1976-77 season was spent in the WHA with the Cowboys, in Southern Hockey League with the Tidewater Sharks and in the North American Hockey League with the Erie Blades before heading to Europe in 1977-78.
For 16 of the next 17 years, George Pesut played for numerous teams in Europe with stops in Switzerland, Germany and France, returning to North America for one season in 1980-81 as a member of the Central Hockey League's Wichita Thunder.
Throughout his NHL career, George Pesut played in 92 games scoring three goals while adding 22 assists for 25 points.

December 20, 2014
ANADARKO, Okla. (AP) - The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the capture of two men who escaped from the Caddo County Jail in Anadarko.
Four inmates broke out on Oct. 27 and two were arrested in Chickasha a day after the escape. Two other inmates - Thomas Wesley Johnson Jr. and Tristan Cheadle - remain at large.
The Marshals Service says Johnson and Cheadle have ties to Anadarko, Chickasha and the Oklahoma City metro area. The agency says a woman is with the men and she has a tattoo of the name "Tristan" above her right eye.
Johnson was serving an eight-year burglary sentence and Cheadle was serving 10 years on a federal firearms charge while awaiting trial for state drug and gun charges.

|We had the old tile knocked out and new plumbing done.
Normal non waterproof (im assuming) fiberglass insulation was put back and then durock (also seemingly non waterproof) dry wall was out up.
Shouldnt thry hsve used waterproof drywall? Is the old insulation ok?
What are all these ither materials I here about for shower walls? Kerdi etc.?
Jve seen talk sbout Vapor barriers and waterproofing and Im afraid mine wasnt done right and need to fimd out now before tile goes on.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Unless you are going to cover the walls with a membrane like Kerdi there should be NO drywall of any kind in your shower.
Are you saying that they put drywall up over the Durock? That really makes no sense.
It's also acceptable to put a vapor barrier behind the Durock.
Is this a tub/shower or just a shower? If a shower only, what kind of pan are your using?
| giuseppe_paolo I'm astonished that your internet searching skills are not as good as your internet posting skills.
at this point, tell the installers to put a liquid paint-on or trowel-on membrane onto the Durock, and on the floor. Before posting again, search and read about Hydroban, and Redgard. There are many more like those two. Go to the corporate web sites and also to tile-setter forums. And forget the helpful advice about the "barrier" behind the Durock. Also forget about Kerdi since your installers don't know what it is, and to do Kerdi is a whole system including the special drain.
The drain is another big subject. terriks asked you about the pan, which includes the drain.
|And forget the helpful advice about the "barrier" behind the Durock.
Are you saying that putting a vapor barrier behind Durock is not longer an acceptable way to build a shower? I would agree that waterproofing over the backerboard is a better method, but I believe that it is acceptable to put the vapor barrier behind.
|I mentioned the vapor barrier behind the Durock because others who might read this thread might freak out if they don't have waterproofing over their backerboard, when in fact they have a vapor barrier behind. And you definitely don't want a waterproofing behind and on top of the backerboard, leading to a potential for a "moisture sandwich". More isn't always better!
|ok, ok, ok, got it. i think it's best to focus on the one question, or need, of the current thread, and not to explain for the general reader or the general case.
- Posted by giuseppe_paolo (My Page) on Thu, Apr 7, 11 at 3:03
|thanks guys and yes I did research about it but was unclear. yes it is just Durock up which is supposedly fine. Met with tile installer today and he said it doesnt' even really need it but, he will use Hyrdroban.
shower floor is concrete and already pitched but they will be putting the waterproof membrane down and 6-8 inches up the shower walls.
You mention to research butt hat was actuqally the problem, all my reading about the different options and bad jobs had me worrying a bit but seems that we have done so far is good and that it will be getting the Hyrdroban over top so should be all set.
thanks for the input though and maybe this can help others, not only DIY, but sometimes ppl get sidejobbers doing the work and want to make sure its done right. Heck even some so called pros might take shortcuts whether they know better or not so always good to educate yourself as much as possible so you know what to look for, ask for, or confirm was use to make sure things are done right.
|There are many construction guys who put the membrane on the sloped floor and then only 6-8 inches up the shower walls.
Ask for more. Order more.
What in the world makes him want to stop at 8 inches above the floor? Once you've gone to the store and bought the stuff, opened the can and started the job, why not go up the wall to cover the wall too? Why stop at ankle height? What kind of minimal good-enough attitude is this? Tell him not to argue back and not to lie about this. Tell him you need to see photos if he tiles before showing you he covered the wall. I've seen lots of guys resist when told to cover more wall than they think is going to be enough. I don't get it. What do they gain by insisting that they know how much is good enough? One installer I know told me he would paint the corners (wall junctions) up to the ceiling, but not the flat wall. I don't get it. I was the order-giver and he contradicted me. We broke up later.
| Met with tile installer today and he said it doesnt' even really need it but, he will use Hyrdroban.
Did he tell you why your shower doesn't need any waterproofing? Many think that the tile and grout provide the waterproofing, but they don't. Water can and does get behind the tile, AND can pass right through the Durock. Water won't damage the tile, grout or Durock, but it can cause damage to the structure behind the Ducrock, and that's what you need to protect against.

|I believe the "membrane" the OP is talking about going 6 - 8" up the wall is probably the shower pan liner. As long as there is a vapor barrier behind the durock, this may still be a perfectly acceptable shower install. If this is the case, telling the OP that a topical membrane on top of the durock is necessary is just plane bad advice.
It might be good to ask more questions and make sure we actually understand the install before telling the OP the shower install is not acceptable. It is possible we are dealing with nothing more than a case of ignorance on the part of the OP and incorrect terminology causing confusion.
1. Was a layer of plastic(vapor barrier) installed behind the durock? Don't guess - ASK.
|this is a good point. You have a long uphill struggle ahead of you when your guy says "it doesn't need it". Fire this guy. He won't improve.
- Posted by aliceinwonderland_id (My Page) on Thu, Apr 7, 11 at 12:34
|davidro1 - He may be saying it doesn't need it because there is already a vapor barrier in place behind the durock. How about making certain before making rash judgments based on incomplete information? I understand how it appears to us, but we are operating from a distance, our only eyes being those of the OP who may or may not know what s/he is seeing. You may be correct - I don't think we know enough yet.
Pictures might help.
|Exactly Alice. That's why I mentioned it being acceptable to have a vapor barrier behind the Durock in my first post. But if there is no barrier behind the OP does need some sort of waterproofing on top of the Durock. The installer should be telling the OP why he doesn't think that Hydroban is necessary. It might be helpful to the OP to check out the John Bridge Tile Forum, especially the thread on shower construction.
|giuseppe_paolo - the two main ways to do a shower wall are:
1) A vapor barrier tacked to the studs with cement board over that. Water and vapor can go through the grout and cement board, but should be stopped by the vapor barrier. It is probably the fastest,cheapest, and most common way to go.
2) Cement board screwed to the studs and then covered with a membrane. These can either be a sheet type membrane like Kerdi or a painted on membrane. Either way, water and vapor that go through the grout are stopped by the membrane. The process is more expensive, but the membrane is more substantial. It also allows a continuous membrane from the pan all the way up the wall.
Either way is acceptable, but #2 seems to be considered "top of the line" .
The thing you don't want to do is to do a membrane, then cement board, then another membrane. If anything fails, that creates a moisture sandwich between 2 membranes.

|yes its going to be #2 with durock and then hydroban on top of that. what i was talking about previously was hte shower pan membrane liner going 6-8 inches up the sides.
|can anyone help me. ripped out the shower due to bad water damaged. reframed and perma cement board over 4mil poly. then did redgard. now reading that this is bad. what should i do
