Decisions and Choices
Bob looked toward the heavens, and then back to the stark concrete wall. He walked up and down in front of the wall, giving it the odd, frightened glance. This was his big chance to prove himself as a painter. To prove to all those that had doubted him all those years ago. Did he now doubt himself?
Susan and Carla eyed Bob curiously, waiting for him to give them the lead. Carla let out a long audable yawn.
"Come on Bob, I have to be home to cook dinner you know" she said sounding brassed off with events. "Perhaps we should start by giving the wall a base colour of white or something..." she sugested more gently.
"Yes, yes!" Bob interjected "that was just the very thought I was having". "And" he thought to himself "it will give me some time to get my head together and decided how to go about this."
"We should go into town and buy the paint right now - I can't wait to get staarted on my mural."
Bob drove their old beat up Austin back down the winding road toward the town centre, carefully changing gears so as to avoid the graunching that normally accompanied his driving. The dirty green car was now well known in the town and many people waved out as they went past. Bob was thrilled to have so many new friends - who would have thought....
In the paint store the manager hastened to serve them. Bowing slightly as he he smarmingly greeted them. "Bob, Susan, lovely to see you today. Susan, I do believe you look younger every time I see you. How can I assist you this afternoon?"
"I need white paint to cover a concrete wall prior to painting my mural" Bob boasted.
"Ahh I see... any, er, idea what sort of paint you might need?" the manager asked, seeing a chance to make some real money for a change.
"No, no, not too sure any more things have changed over the last 25 years since I painted my last mural" Bob replied unwisely.
"Yes, they certainly have." The manager inocently retorted. "You would want the very best quality to preserve and protect your investment of course?"
"Of course." Bob nodded as he visably puffed himself up importantly.
"Come right this way Sir," the manager said as he walked quickly ahead of them. "Now this paint," he informed them, carefully palming the $9.99 price ticket, "is on special this week only, at only $99.90 - a huge bargin at half the price."
"Indeed, indeed, a real bargin," Bob started, sounding excited at the prospect of buying his paint.
"You will be needing colours as well. How about I get together all the base colours and a selection of brushes. I will send them over to your home with the account? You will of course need to take the white with you today, 6 cans, or 8? " The manager enquired not giving Bob a chance to think or have any input.
"Oh, er, umm," Bob stuttered feeling suddenly out of his depth.
"How about I pop ten in a box to be safe?"

Contemplating Acquiring Dental Insurance Coverage?

The idea for this story came almost seven years ago. I wanted to write a story featuring one of my favorite characters in my favorite background. I wrote for almost a month but then fell of the bandwagon. When I picked it back up again I was surprised at the work but frustrated because I never finished it. I hope someday I will.

When it comes to original wallpapers, this app has pulled something out of the bag. Koi is a free tool that imitates an aquatic environment full of Japanese koi fish. You can interact with them, feed them, or just simply relax and watch them swim back and forth.
The background is very easy to configure. All you pretty much need to do is open the app, or go to the settings menu on your phone. With this app, you'll be able to customize your phone in an original way, as it imitates a Japanese carp pool. If you're one for customizing your mobile, you'll love this; even more so if you're into Japanese culture. If you tap the screen you can feed the fish, too.
If you want the full version you need to pay. Also, installing an animated wallpaper as complex as this requires quite a lot of device memory, so keep that in mind especially if you have a low to mid-range phone.

Item description for Restoring and Rebuilding A House Divided by Vel Hobbs...Overview
Abraham Lincoln once wrote, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Even so, it seems that a prison cell can be built out of rubble, as described by author Vel Hobbs in A House Divided. For years, Ms. Hobbs was imprisoned by memories of childhood abuse, resentment, damaging relationships, and a growing lack of trust in other people. And yet, miraculously, the author was able to escape and to begin "a remarkable lifechanging journey" to true freedom. Traveling from emotional and physical illness to spiritual health on a journey of self-discovery, Ms. Hobbs also embraced the friendship of Jesus Christ and the protecting love of God. This is the true story of a wonderfully spiritual journey, which built and continues to nurture a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. GOD LOVES US, and there is life after abuse.
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 19, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Ive seen the way this guy does business and ive experienced his late night calls and threats. Ive read your reviews on this guy and it seems he is relentless in soaking people. Why do we have to wait for God to intervene. If anybody knows this guy...how about giving us all a real live address. We can all send him poop presents.
When he calls you...save the number and put it on speed dial.
then whenever you are having a bad day...call him and yell the obsenities of a lifetime at him.
The guy is a creep. he talks about all the money and wealth and cars and houses he has but Ill bet he lives in an old house made of truck tires out on the edge of a reservation near a lake that everyone defocates in.
Big Buffalo. big Dung heep Three fingers Three Feathers Mount us a posse and lets go get em!

Hi, my Spiceworks was originally scanning 2 remote sites from my central site. Last night I installed a remote collector at each site and configured them to upload to the central server.
Now I have over 130 alerts for all devices at those remote sites. The alert is on each of the hard drives and the timeline is reading [Unknown alert occurred] and when I go to the alert page it shows the device, but no description under Status.
Any suggestions on what I should do to clear these errors?
3 Replies
Jan 12, 2010 at 8:28 UTC
Hmmm... seeing some strange inventory information, some of the alerts (not all) seem to be caused by MULTIPLE C: or D: drives. I'm going to completely delete one site out and rescan and see if that clears the error.
I'll post results!

waiting for your results.. I have no answers, but yours is an interesting problem..
Well, the delete took quite awhile, but once done I reran the scan and now everything is reporting up properly.
So, new best practice:
If you have already scanned a network scope but then want to implement a remote collector, delete the inventory items first!

O'Malley, abuse survivor named members of new Vatican clergy abuse commission
Pope Francis has announced members of a new Vatican commission on sex abuse, naming one cardinal, four laywomen, one Italian professor, and two priests.
Pope Francis has announced members of a new Vatican commission on sex abuse, naming one cardinal, four laywomen, one Italian professor, and two priests.
"Problems arising from severe financial hardship, unemployment and emigration, domestic violence, neglect and other forms of abuse, infidelity" are current issues for Irish families, bishops say.
Acting with uncustomary speed, the Vatican expelled a New Jersey man from the priesthood for repeatedly defying a lifetime ban on ministry to children.
At its highest levels, the church is discussing family issues. But just what a potential revamp will look like depends on with whom you're speaking.
We say: Francis' delight in stirring things up is no more evident than in the preparation for the October's Synod of Bishops.
Former Notre Dame linebacker Prince Shembo said he is innocent in an alleged sexual battery against Elizabeth "Lizzy" Seeberg, who committed suicide in 2010.
Shembo was not charged for the incident or suspended from school, but addressed the allegations for the first time at the National Football League Scouting Combine Feb. 22 in Indianapolis. Shembo is entering May's NFL draft.
Viewpoint: The UN interrogation of the Vatican about priestly child abuse is long overdue, but it remains to be seen how effective Pope Francis' child abuse commission will be.
When the Vatican announced its survey ahead of the Synod of Bishops, the bishops of England and Wales were the first in the world to put it online.
St. Paul-Minneapolis Archbishop John Nienstedt had been accused of touching the buttocks of a boy during a photo session. He will return to ministry immediately.
NCR Today: A U.S.-based group that operates a clergy sex abuse database has accused Pope Francis of remaining silent on clergy sex abuse during his time in Argentina.

As with last month's World Championships, the lack of leadership of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, its National Stadium and logo scandals, its backtracking in decision making, its complete avoidance of responsibility for its own failures, is a discouraging squandering of the potential that is most definitely there. Like the way that going out to watch the Hakone Ekiden Yosenkai qualifier in person salves the pain of witnessing corporate league and JAAF policy, practice and decision making, there's no better way to be reminded of what a great city Tokyo really is, of what it could be, than to see it on foot. Running the 40 km +/- around the Yamanote Line, the green circle train line circling the heart of the city, offers a glimpse of some of Tokyo's many faces. Today's run started and finished at Harajuku Station, heading counterclockwise.

Nice, Brett, and well done on the run. For those of you overseas, there are 29 stations on the Yamanote line. Brett included a few extra shots.
Running all the way around is a Namban Rengo club tradition that's been going on for over 10 years.

Our Parish Church in Pueblo Serena won Interior Design magazine's Best of Year (BoY) award in the Projects: Institutional category. Thanks to the Magazine and to all who collaborated, professionals and artists with whom we worked on this project: Artemio Garza, Gabriela Pulido, Irene Alberdi, Harari Landscape Architecture, Valerie Sauthier, Francisco Leiro, Carmen Pinart, Pedro Cuní, Axioma, RGT Ingeniería, Grupo Termo Control, Artemide, Arau Acoustic and the teams at Moneo Brock, Pueblo Serena and Plaza Huajuco.
On December the 3rd we traveled to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to present our project for this emblematic place, developed together with Rafael Moneo and Harari Landscape Architecture. Our principal objectives are to recuperate the space surrounding the Puerta de Don Diego, a worthy historical landmark, to eliminate architectural barriers and to create areas of shade, providing new areas for rest.Read more
Our carpet "Parquet" has been chosen as a finalist in the 5th Iberoamerican Design Bienal (BID16). We invite you to attend to the exhibition organized by Dimad at Matadero Madrid, from November 21st until February 2017.
We are optimistic that our house for the TEC of Monterrey will be certified LEED Gold. Energy efficiency has been a priority in our design from the very beginning. The house is half-buried to benefit from the earth's thermal inertia and a series of shady courtyards generate microclimates that help maintain a comfortable temperature. Besides providing for generous cross ventilation, the house is oriented so that solar incidence is optimized. Canopies and vertical screens protect façade openings from excessive insolation, while on the roof photovoltaic panels capture solar radiation and shade the building mass below.Read more

The exhibition opens on September 29th at 12PM at COAM during the Architecture Week. See you there!
Visit to Mexico
Finally, the West façade and the bell tower of the parish church in Monterrey are finished. In the picture you can see the location of the church surrounded by the landscape designed by our collaborators Harari Landscape, whose outstanding work will be completed in 2017.
Hotel Mercer
Our architecture and interior design project for the Hotel Mercer in Barcelona's Gothic neighborhood has been awarded with the Honorable Mention in the category of "Hospitality".
Dialogue between Spain and Mexico
Jeffrey Brock participated on September 1st in the third edition of Arquideas at Mexico City in a dialogue about public space, architectural heritage and sustainability in cities, where architects from Mexico and Spain shared ideas and perspectives.
House in Mexico
Last July in Monterrey we presented our schematic design for the House 205, designed alongside Daniel Roselló.This house will be raffled by the Technological University of Monterrey (TEC) in order to "sponsor educational growth through the program ´Leaders of Tomorrow`, which gives full scholarchips to students with scarce economic resources and high acdemic performance".
Jeff Brock Lectures
Jeff brock gave a lecture at the Universidad Autónoma de Cuernavaca on working methods and the transformative capacity of architectural projects at MEXTROPOLI, the International Festival on Architecture and the City and the Latin American forum that gathered thousands of people for 4 days. The city of Mexico was, from March 5th – 8th, the most important place for thinking, designing and enjoying critical activities through a series of conferences, talks and workshops. Click here
We would like to emphasize our enthusiasm for the presentations of Josep Bohigas, who put forth myriad ways of resolving various housing problems, and that of Raúl Cardenas from Tijuana, whose projects with Torolab are always inspiring for their extraordinary degree of humanity.
Josep Bohigas Talk
Belén Moneo and Jeff Brock participated in a round-table discussion on prefabricated buildings on April 7 th in Madrid, organized by Sergio Baragaño (barchitects) and moderated by Marisa Santamaría. Architecture is possibly the discipline most committed to industry and technology; searching for efficiency and savings in the constructive process, we support standardized production systems. Taking advantadge of our experience designing a house of minimum dimensions, we sought to break free of the language of the container-box, seeking a versatile solution while still observing the constraints imposed by the need to transport the house from factory to site.
New product design
Our Sofa SONIA D, with neat clear lines and intense color, has been selected for the Exhibition Producto Fresco 2016, opening Wed. June 15th in Madrid.
ICON is the new collection from ECUS Sleep S.L.U of armchairs, sofas and sofa-beds featuring striking fabrics, elegant shapes and fabulous designs.
Refurbishment of a courtyard in the historical City of Santo Domingo
The developer and architecture connaisseur, Claudio Suarez Tarrado, has given us the opportunity to work on his project "Casa Velázquez". Our participation is focused on the refurbishment of pre-existing elements, built in different periods and with different methods, harmonizing the building group by applying a unique architectural language. MONEO BROCK will be responsible for selecting finishes. Refurbishment is a fascinating exercise that, together with urban consolidation, constitutes architecture's principal mode of action within the historical city's fabric.
Nominated with the chimney Articulare
The Articulare chimney designed by Moneo Brock for DAE Chimeneas has been nominated for the Delta Awards 2016. The Delta Prizes celebrate superior quality design, highlighting its importance as a driver of an industrial economy and its fundamental role as an expression of our social and cultural values. Behind every design object is the work of several professionals who have dutifully considered the final user and the manufacturing process.
MONEO BROCK and the architect Daniel Roselló have been selected to design together House 205 for the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, México, which will be raffled to support the scholarships "Lideres del Mañana".These scholarships are specifically directed to promising youths, who are seen as "Tomorrow´s Leaders".

Moneo Brock is an international architectural, planning and design firm of versatile professionals committed to the identification and implementation of sustainable solutions, with great faith in the promise of good design. We are an ISO9001:2008 certified business with Lloyds Register.
We begin our work with a rigorous analysis of the functional requirements of the project in question, setting high standards for the optimization of resources. Convinced that a fundamental concept must be elaborated for each project, we design specifically architectural solutions wherein linguistic and spatial structures harmonize in a coherent whole.
When working in cities, we count as the projects' first task the repair or enhancement of the existing urban context and the enlivening of bordering streets. We give great importance to urban design and to the creation of public space as a social good.
When working outside the city, we design our interventions to protect and preserve the natural beauty that we find; the new, constructed landscape is designed to flow from our projects and connect holistically to the surrounding terrain.
Each project's local climate is analyzed in detail so that energy efficiency can be assured, and the social and economic context is thoughtfully reviewed so that all conditions for true sustainability can be met. Finally, the construction details and the selection of materials are always rigorously controlled in order to be in concordance with the project's fundamental concept.
We are sensitive to the synergies that emerge in collaborative processes, viewing teamwork as fundamental to the creation of great work. We have extensive experience collaborating with large teams of engineers, consultants and specialists in the production and coordination of architectural projects, from conceptualization through construction completion. We have completed projects of varying scales, both public and private, and our work has been widely published in international media.
We view each job as an opportunity to create a unique structure that can transform a part of the world, no matter the scale.
Moneo Brock has broad experience working on a variety project types, including:
• Museums
• Educational Buildings and Campuses
• Urban Infrastructure
• Religious Architecture
• Hospitality and Wellness Architecture and Design
• Rehabilitation of Historic Structures
• Interior Design
Belén Moneo is an architect and co-founder of Moneo Brock. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard University in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in Art History and Visual Arts and obtained a Masters in Architecture from Columbia University's GSAPP.
Jeff Brock is an architect and co-founder of Moneo Brock. He graduated from Princeton University in 1985 with a BA in Architecture and obtained his Masters in Architecture in 1991 from Columbia University's GSAPP.
Belén and Jeff formed MONEO BROCK in 1993 in New York, when they first collaborated professionally on a project for a loft in Tribeca. Maintaining connections with New York, the firm founded its Madrid office in 2002. Today project sites are located in the USA, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
Belén Moneo teaches at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura of Madrid and Jeff Brock at the Pratt Institute. They have lectured extensively on their work in Europe, the USA, China, Turkey, Panama, Guatemala and Peru, and their work has been published in several international media.
The Playground at the public Hospital "12 de Octubre" is a project that aims to brighten the conditions of children inpatients suffering from cancer, on which Moneo Brock Studio worked pro bono with the not-for-profit Fundación Juegaterapia. The project transforms a pre-existing 800 m² rooftop into a play space surrounded by ornamental trees and plants for the 7,000 children who are hospitalized every year at the hospital.
The design was inspired by the children's drawings, which illustrated their ideal play space. Following the children's lead, we realized that every element in the garden could become a potential object of play. We felt that the space had to be more than just a playground-it had to feel unique for the children, their own, a secret place, a landscape able to empower their imagination, a place where they could dream and where their senses would delight in contact with nature. Furthermore, it needed to bear no resemblance to the hospital, but instead create a variety of alternative atmospheres through landscape design.
Whilst offering privileged views of Spain's capital, the pre-existing space posed several limitations for the design of this project. Given the rooftop's exposure to Madrid's extreme climate, the design required an element able to provide summertime shade. A 6-metre high dome was designed for this purpose. The height also posed some difficulties in terms of debris removal, transport and assembly during construction. Mechanisms were developed to avoid interrupting the normal use of the hospital elevators and many of the structures were assembled on-site. Rooftops are often home to climate control machinery and air vents, and this was no exception. Since none of these items could be removed, the design had to both disguise and integrate them in the new area.
The project, which was completed and officially inaugurated in May 2015, enables the children inpatients to enjoy not just a physical activity, but entertainment, social interaction, joy and escape, together comprising the therapeutic benefits that the garden offers during the children's treatment and recovery.

This museum rehabilitation project for Fundación Telefónica, the cultural institution of Spain's largest telephone company, occupies four floors in the historic Telefónica Building at the top of Madrid's most central street, the Gran Via. Due to the historical character of this building and the difficult relationships between the reclaimed spaces of the old building, we designed a central, cohesive circulation path that connects all galleries and cultural spaces on the upper floors to one another and to the street.
In order to renovate this historic building within Spanish urban planning and architecture, parts of four of the existing floor plates were demolished and a spiral staircase inserted in the void, weaving through an organic, sculptural form. This structure, already considered as an emblem of the new building, serves simultaneously as a lateral brace for the building's façade and structural support for the stair.
The galleries take their form from the shape of the building. Here, the floors were stripped of everything non-essential to the structure. Columns were left exposed and the ceilings covered with a suspended metal mesh. The spaces, left bare and lofty, reveal the beauty of the existing structure and allow for the maximum freedom for exhibit-specific installations.

Columbia University, one of the world most prestigious institutions for arts and sciences, greatly expands its capabilities with this building for interdisciplinary scientific research. The building is located on the Northwest corner of the University's historic Morningside Heights Campus designed by McKim, Mead and White in 1897. In addition to the design of urban infrastructure and planning, the project adds approximately 4.500 m2 of laboratory space and 2.000 m2 of classroom, office and study space. It also includes a 1.300 m2 research library, a 170-seat auditorium, a public café and a new entrance to the Campus and the University's Basketball and Volleyball Gymnasium. All the interior design of these new educational spaces was done by Moneo Brock.
Constructed above the existing Francis S. Levien Gymnasium, the site conditions posed a significant structural challenge requiring that the new building span over the 125 foot wide facility, while maintaining large open floors for laboratories, whose structural slabs needed to be stiff enough for the use of microscopes and other vibration-sensitive equipment.
This structural feat became the defining gesture of this architectural project. By representing the structural frame on the building façade through the application of aluminum fins oriented in parallel to the frame elements, the design reveals the varied geometry of bracing elements in the resultant patchwork of light and shadow. Even as it appears to incorporate a free arrangement of diagonal truss elements, the structural frame is in fact precisely responsive to a series of eccentric loading factors integral to the design of the building volume and to the internal distribution of programmatic elements within it. The building's campus facade is almost entirely glass, revealing the interior workings of the building and emphasizing openness and a connection to the campus community.
Besides providing critical program spaces for the University, the building also forms a new gateway to the Morningside Campus, incorporating in its northern end a fluid sequence of brightly and naturally-lit spaces along a path between the street corner and the Campus level some 10 meters higher. All this is fit alongside elevator cores and service shafts within a constrained footprint in the building area not already occupied by the gymnasium.

As architects and designers, geometry has always fascinated us. When the main body of the chimney and an inclined plane intersect, a second volume is created that opens, folding down to create the horizontal surface of the grill. The chimney's oval mouth is exposed so that the fire is visible from every angle. The shape of the chimney is compact; it can be closed when the winter season is over, on the one hand staying out of the way while on the other presenting an enigmatic form bereft of signs as to its true function.

What Lays Ahead
Bridges, Ratchet noted with a touch of amusement, were among the few human structures that could accommodate full-sized Cybertronians. Warehouses and overpasses were about the only other ones. None of them offered all that much cover, however. He made due with what he had, though, scooting up along the cement incline at the very end of the bridge's underside until he could rest his arms amidst the metal supports.
Trying to avoid detection now felt like a moot point after the destruction caused in Mission City, but blending in was also a habit of nature. Sometimes, however, a moment called for being oneself, and this was one of those moments. Ratchet prodded at the supports nearest him, soldering a few weak spots here and there as he waited.
He had begun to measure for replacement beams when at last a black pickup truck came trundling along the overgrown dirt service road. Once behind the large support column Ironhide transformed and climbed up toward Ratchet's perch. "Are you comfortable?"
"Mostly," the medic replied. He shifted over a bit, offering Ironhide a seat, but the warrior preferred to stand where it was less cluttered. He braced his hands on an overhead beam and just leaned on it for a long moment before uttering a sigh.
"My thoughts exactly," Ratchet said, feeling along a beam directly over his head. He soldered the middle of it.
"I feel like I can't relax," Ironhide spoke without any other preamble. "As if I should still be ready to launch on the defense at a second's notice."
"I think we all feel that way." Ratchet shut off his tool array and withdrew it back into his forearm, replacing it with his hand. "I mean, look at me. I don't know how to sit still right now."
"You are sitting."
Ratchet shook his head. "Very humorous." He leaned on the beams in front of him. "This will have a psychological impact on all of us for quite some time. We are familiar with the deaths of comrades, but the extent of the loss of the Allspark may be something entirely different."
"Hn..." Ironhide agreed, scowling. "So, what now?"
"For Cybertron?" Ratchet sighed and sat back, lifting his head as if to look through the bottom of the bridge to the sky beyond. "Perhaps there is another way, another source of power that can be used without the risk of anyone claiming it for ill gains. One of our other teams could be finding it right now."
"That is almost too optimistic. How many worlds did we come across that were barely developed into functional civilization?"
"Yet we cannot ignore the possibility that the Allspark could have created other worlds before it became a part of Cybertron." Ratchet glanced at Ironhide with an entreating look, as if hoping someone else had come to the same conclusion. "There is a chance we are not alone."
Ironhide regarded him solemnly. "You had more hope riding on finding the Allspark first than the rest of us."
Ratchet nodded, then lowered his head. "Some of us could feel our planet's pain more acutely than others. Speaking for myself, its death cries will never be erased from my memory banks."
"A thousand sparks extinguished." Ironhide glanced to the side, fingers tightening on the beam enough to make it creak.
Ratchet's optics dimmed as he mumbled, "No need to mention it."
"Apologies." Ironhide released the beam and stepped back, giving the medic some space.
"It is...to be expected," Ratchet conceeded with a nod. "It should not be forgotten, either...lest it be repeated if a similar artifact comes to exist."
"We don't know where the Allspark came from to begin with. What would be the chances of another like it existing?"
"At this time I would like to say 'one never knows'. After all, did any of us expect the humans would be so intrinsic to defeating the Decepticons?"
"I admit the surprise was pleasant." Ironhide looked around the bridge as if impressed that the humans could have built such a structure. After a few moments of silence he absently rubbed at the scarred portion of the right side of his face.
"Is it bothering you again?"
"Hmm?" Ratchet motioned toward where the warrior's hand was. Ironhide peered at his hand even as lowered it. "Only when I think too much."
"We all have thinking to do," Ratchet said with a dry chuckle. "We did not plan for this eventuality, did we? All focus was on getting to the Allspark first. I know I did not consider the possibility of it being destroyed. We counted on going home...not remaining here. Now we need to make plans to sneak parts of the Ark planetside so we can set up a permanent base. Home." He looked toward the horizon. "This is a nice place to call home."
"We could crash it into a volcano to cover the arrival and impact."
"What?" Ratchet snapped his attention back to the warrior.
"The Ark. Make it seem like a big meteor crash."
Ratchet laughed. "I am not very certain of that idea."
Ironhide shrugged. "It would be quickest."
"I will make sure to run that idea by Optimus later." Ratchet chuckled again. He let his attention wander back to the beams. Spying another potential crack, he extended his tool array and soldered at it.
Ironhide snorted. "Are you going to single-handedly repair every structure in the vicinity?"
"Why not? If we show the humans how useful we can be, perhaps we could be better accepted into their society. We can perform the functions of their vehicles and machines, and still have our own ways be preserved."
Ironhide cast a humoring glance at him, noting the medic's hopeful tone. "And where would someone like me find a place?"
"Demolitions." Ratchet smiled. "I imagine someone our size could help guarantee safety, and even persevere on a job that would be quite dangerous to a human."
"Hn. ...Maybe. I do not want to be a soldier forever."
Ratchet nodded. "I am relieved to hear that. It is--"
Ironhide cut him off. "I have sometimes wondered what warriors do when there are no battles left to fight." He raised his left arm; his cannon mechanisms began to unfold by reflex. "However, my core programming does not allow me to entertain the alternatives."
Ratchet blinked, refocusing his optics on his old friend. "You may have been built hard-wired for battle, but you i can /i input changes."
The warrior shook his head sadly. "We have been at this for a while, my friend. It could take twice that amount of time."
"With Megatron gone, what else do we have except time?" Ratchet replied, trying to sound encouraging.
But Ironhide lowered his head with a heavy sigh, muttering, "What do we have, indeed?"
Ratchet looked at him askance. "Ironhide..?"
"We have...no base, almost no supplies, no one ...except the four of us. Only us, on a world that is too small."
Ratchet searched his processor for a response. He and Ironhide had spent many a mission discussing life and its fateful twists, but this was bordering on despair. His earlier comment about psychological impacts returned to him. He didn't say anything for a minute, then asked hesitantly, "Do you...propose that we should leave Earth and return to one of the worlds that contained mechanical life similar to ourselves?"
"It would be Optimus' decision," Ironhide said with finality. Ratchet took that as a confirmation, and also that the warrior was not going to purposely bring it up to their leader. He filed it away, intending to honor his role as his friend's confidant. It was not the first time Ironhide had confessed something he preferred to not admit to Prime.
"There is one thing to consider, however," Ratchet offered. "The Cube landed here and was buried for thousands of years. We are connected to this planet by it, regardless of the organic majority."
Ironhide leaned on the support beam again as he processed the medic's words. He nodded. "An adequate assessment."
"Besides," Ratchet added, hoping to lighten the mood, "I think our vehicle forms here have been the most suitable we have yet taken."
"You just like the flashing lights and siren."
The tone was serious, but after looking at each other for half a second, they both laughed. With the tense situation diffused, Ratchet felt it was safe to share another thought he'd had. "It is even possible that a new energy source could be here on Earth. Humans may be still developing, but this planet is rich with resources that they have yet to properly utilize."
"Should we teach them that, as well as the lessons on proper maintenance?" Ironhide gestured to the beams.
Ratchet nodded. "Again, the Allspark was here, perhaps we were meant to come here. We destroyed our own world...but we have the knowledge to improve this one and prevent them from destroying theirs."
"Will they listen?"
Ratchet gave a tight smile. "We shall have to hope so."

Grand Opening of STLCC's Center for Workforce Innovation Set for Aug. 29
The grand opening of St. Louis Community College's new Center for Workforce Innovation will be 2:30-5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29, at 3344 Pershall Road.
Located adjacent to the college's Florissant Valley campus, the 32,000-square-foot CWI will serve more than 500 students annually and houses some of the college's newest and most cutting-edge workforce training programs, including several that were targeted in the Training for Tomorrow Initiative, as well as other innovative instructional spaces and a public access computing center.
One of the CWI's centerpiece programs is the St. Louis Aerospace Institute. It began as a pre-employment program for Boeing, delivering technical instruction in aerospace structures and mechanical/electrical systems. A grant from the U.S. Department of Labor laid the groundwork to expand this program to the general aerospace industry cluster as well as establish composites material training capability. It also will include new composites fabrication and assembly labs.
As part of the Training for Tomorrow Initiative, the college has established an energy technician program that now will be located at the CWI. This program is part of STLCC's "green" jobs strategy that includes renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable design and construction. The energy technician curriculum includes residential and commercial energy auditing, advanced building control systems with remote monitoring, aspects of commercial energy retrofits, and facilities management with a focus on energy efficiency. It also will integrate BPI and LEED certification standards.
Coursework in sustainable construction also will be offered at the CWI, also part of the Training for Tomorrow Initiative. Sustainable construction has been based upon the college's construction management and construction technology programs, and will incorporate training related to the LEED standards.
STLCC received funding through the Missouri Department of Higher Education's Broadband Technology Opportunities program to develop the CWI's public access computing area. This center will have 25 stations that will be open to the public on a walk-in basis, and offer computer training classes to help unemployed and underemployed workers develop skills needed for the 21st century work force.
The CWI also will offer industrial maintenance technology and programmable logic control programs to serve business and industry through customized curriculum.

The Minnesota Twins have hit a high of 24,000 season tickets sold, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
So far, they have sold 2.6 million tickets and will more than likely break the team record for attendance, which is 3,030,672, set in 1988.
The Twins are enjoying the new stadium honeymoon. Target Field, the open-air baseball stadium, opens this year. Couple that with the signing of hometown hero Joe Mauer, and the Twins are cashing in.
The Milwaukee Brewers had the same success when they opened Miller Park in March 2001. The Brewers do not disclose season-ticket numbers, but a Major League Baseball source says the team last season had more than 15,000 full- season equivalent season-ticket packages.

- Former BJP MLA calls for FIR against MP in assault case
MORADABAD: Former four-term BJP MLA Inderdev Singh from Badhapur-Afzalgarh constituency in Bijnor has demanded that an FIR be filed against Moradabad MP Sarvesh Singh for allegedly assaulting a general manager of Artifical Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO). "I have appealed to PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath to take action against Sarvesh Singh. Otherwise, the image of the BJP will be tarnished in the eyes of the public because of the actions of people like the MP," said Inderdev, talking to TOI on Monday. "If the FIR does not get registered, the morale of bureaucrats in Uttar Pradesh will fall. They will face embarrassment in their daily lives and work at the hands of people like Sarvesh," the former MLA added. Calling the alleged assault a "blot" on the face of the party, Inderdev said he believed both the PM and CM would take swift and strong action against the MP. "The top leadership of the BJP should prove that nobody is above the law, irrespective of the party or organization," Inderdev added. The ex-MLA and the Moradabad MP are arch-rivals. Inderdev claimed that because of Sarvesh's "interference", the party did not give him a ticket for this assembly election. Other rivals of Sarvesh have also called for action against him. Two-time Samajwadi Party MLA from Thakurdwara constituency, Jan khan, said, "The BJP achieved power after making allegations of poor law and order during the SP tenure. But this assault incident proves how an MP and BJP workers behave. We will raise the issue at the assembly and demand an FIR." MP Sarvesh Singh, talking to TOI, dismissed the allegations of assault. "Some political leaders are unnecessarily trying to make it sound like a big issue. No assault happened. Just before the chief minister's event, there was an argument between the general manager and BJP workers, that is all," he said. Sarvesh has been involved in criminal cases in the past. On April 14 this year, a Moradabad sessions court granted him bail in the murder of a Dalit man in 2010 in Thakurdwara tehsil. Sarvesh had surrendered in court and applied for bail.
