UPDATE: Footnotes have been added to elaborate on a few of these items, most notably the comparative price of energy between Ivanpah and Crescent Dunes.
It uses mirrors and a giant tower, like the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in California, and molten salt like Solana Generating Station in Arizona. But SolarReserve's Crescent Dunes, now in "full commercial operation" [PDF], is different from any large-scale power plant that came before it in several important ways.
1. Unlike Ivanpah, Crescent Dunes, in Nevada, was built with the ability to store energy and dispatch power when needed.
At Crescent Dunes, giant mirrors focus the sun's energy at the top of a tower, heating a mixture of sodium and potassium nitrate. This molten salt can be used immediately to superheat water and produce electricity in the manner of any other thermal power plant. Or it can be stored in insulated tanks to drive the thermal-power process during periods of cloudy weather or at night.
At Ivanpah, the "heliostats" focus the sun's energy atop towers to heat water, which won't hold the heat for long. That means the vast bulk of Ivanpah's production comes at the same time the California grid is being fed large and rapidly increasing amounts of power from solar PV plants. Ivanpah can provide a smoother flow of electricity than a PV plant, but its value is still limited by immediate reliance on the sun.
2. Solana can store energy, too, but Crescent Dunes claims an advantage over the Arizona plant.
As SolarReserve CEO Kevin Smith told me last year: "We're using molten salt directly," giving Crescent Dunes the ability to drive the temperature of the heat-holding salts 300 degrees higher than at Solana, where long rows of parabolic mirrors are used to first heat a transfer fluid. "They need two or three times the salt we have to get the same amount of heat storage," Smith said. That leads to a bigger, more expensive footprint – "a whole lot more tanks, pumps and salt." In sum, Smith said, the multistep nature of the Solana process results in less efficient operation.
3. Unlike Ivanpah, Crescent Dunes doesn't burn fossil fuels.
In 2014, Ivanpah used 867 million cubic feet (mmcf) of natural gas. It helps jump start the system in the morning, mostly, and to get through some cloudy periods. At a typical gas-fired power plant, that would produce around 85 gigawatt-hours of electricity. Ivanpah produced 420 GWh in 2014 – so you could say natural gas use was equal to about 20 percent of the plant's output. This is way over the 5 percent allowed by California regulations, but a California Energy Commission spokesman said much of the natural gas Ivanpah uses isn't held against it.
"(N)atural gas used between the end of daily generation and the start of generation the next day is not considered as contributing to electricity generation and therefore, not included in calculating the percent of non-renewable fuel used at the facility," the CEC's Michael Ward said in an email earlier this month.
Ivanpah's output jumped up to 652 GWh in 2015, so if natural gas use held steady, the plant's generation-to-gas-use ratio would have improved substantially. But while we won't know exactly how much gas Ivanpah used in 2015 for a few months, some hints are available: Between August and November in 2015, gas consumption at one of its three units was double what it was in 2014.
4. Crescent Dunes should break out of the gate faster than Ivanpah.
Ivanpah went into full commercial operation in February 2014, not even three and a half years after construction began. Despite being one-third the size of Ivanpah, Crescent Dunes took at least four years to achieve that status.NOTE A One reason Crescent Dunes was slower to start up: SolarReserve saw what happened when Ivanpah's early production fell dramatically short of ultimate expectations.
"We certainly recognized that Ivanpah got hammered," Smith told me. "From a management perspective, that led us to want to be more cautious." That was a year ago, when Crescent Dunes seemed on the precipice of startup, but it wasn't until today that SolarReserve heralded the plant's opening.
After the fact, Ivanpah's operators said they expected all along that it would take up to five years to hit long-term performance targets. But they didn't make that clear at the plant's grand opening.NOTE B And, as my reporting has revealed, performance has even fallen short of contractual obligations that anticipated a slow start.
After taking extra time to dial in performance, SolarReserve was confident enough to say today that "Consistent with the rollout plan, the facility will ramp up to its full annual output over the coming year." The target number: 500 GWh/year beginning in Year 2. Yes, we will be watching.
5. Crescent Dunes electricity is less expensive than Ivanpah electricity.
Crescent Dunes is selling its output to NV Energy for 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, rising 1 percent a year during the life of the 25-year power purchase agreement. Ivanpah's contracts with PG&E and Southern California Edison are confidential, but filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission show that during the high-demand July-September period last year, the utilities paid between 20 and 22 cents per kWh for Ivanpah electricity.NOTE C During the same period, Solana sold electricity to Arizona Public Service at 12.8 cents/kWh.

TruEnergy advised me that because the gas account is in my name I have to file a police report of the theft before the builder can start the process of getting a new meter. It's costly to replace one apparently and the police report is the only avenue to avoid having to pay for a new one, and prove I didn't give the meter away (?!). Fortunately it appears there's no risk of being charged for someone else's gas usage - they informed me that usually they never see the meters again - the thieves lock their gates and put their dogs in the yard so the distributor can't get access to read the meter. Also the meter number is tied to the street address in their database so it's easy to catch the thieves if they get access to the meter.
I phoned the local police station and they allowed me to file a report over the phone thankfully, because getting out there was going to be difficult today. I have a sick 21 month old at home and being 38 weeks pregnant I'm avoiding driving where I can.
I also phoned our CSC to advise him of the event and ask about the process to follow, but got his voicemail and left a message.
All in all, an unexpected busy morning of phone calls. Now that one sick toddler is in bed asleep, I think I'll take the opportunity to do the same!
What's the start of a week without a drama, eh? Although I thought giving birth would be the next drama on my list!

Takes hands-free photos and video. Accurate voice recognition. Some cool apps available.
Astronomical price. Extremely conspicuous. Difficult to wear for people with glasses. Limited use right now. Short battery life.
Bottom Line
Version 2.0 of the Google Glass Explorer Edition has limitless potential, although there still isn't much you can do with it just yet.
Setup and Performance
Setting up Glass is relatively simple. You need to do it via Google's Setup Wizard in your Web browser, or by downloading and running the MyGlass app on an Android device running 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher, or an Apple device running iOS 7 or later. No matter which method you choose, Google provides you with detailed instructions and videos that walk you through the setup process. Basically, you'll need to link your Google account, establish a Bluetooth connection, and link the glasses to Wi-Fi before you're ready to go.
I tested Glass using the MyGlass app on an HTC One (M8) and an Apple iPhone 5s. I had no trouble pairing Glass with either device, though in both instances I noticed that it would occasionally lose connection with the app, even though Bluetooth and Wi-Fi were both properly configured. This was frustrating, since you need to use the app to control a number of features on Glass (more on those features in a bit).
From a hardware perspective, Google Glass comes with 16GB of internal storage, of which you get about 12.5GB available out of the box. Google doesn't provide specs for the processor and memory, but a teardown has shown that the unit is powered by a TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1GB of RAM. That's pretty dated hardware, at least from a mobile device perspective, but so far Glass doesn't require the same kind of power that most new smartphones and tablets do. I encountered a bit of slowdown when cycling through screens, but not enough to adversely impact my experience. As more developers write apps for Glass, though, I can see this becoming a problem, depending on how advanced they become.
Glass currently runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, but Google just announced that an update to KitKat will be rolling out shortly. This update will actually remove the ability to make video calls, but will bring some new features like the ability to organize photos in bundles and send photo replies in Google Hangouts. It's also supposed to bring improved battery life, which is a weak point right now; I was only about to get about five hours of power on a full battery charge, which isn't enough to make it through a day of heavy use.
Once Glass is fully set up, you can activate the display by simply tapping on the front of the chunky right arm. Google says the display is equivalent to viewing a 25-inch, high-definition screen from eight feet away. In reality, the prism projector has a resolution of 640 by 360 and occupies as much of your vision as a quarter held six inches from your eye. It's a translucent image that requires a fair amount of concentration in order to view properly. In other words, you probably won't to be able to walk down the street and read email at the same time, at least not without paying more attention to one of those tasks than the other.
And for everyone afraid that Glass users are secretly recording everything they see all the time: It's pretty clear when someone wearing Glass is looking at the screen, so you'll know if they're recording. Not only will it look like their eyes are focused a foot or so above you, but you can see a faint light reflected from the prism.
Using Glass
Controlling Glass is easy, once you get used to it. Tap on the right arm to turn it on, then swipe your finger forward or backward on the arm to cycle between screens. Tap again to open something, or swipe down to go back. Aside from a Camera button on the upper right edge, and a Power button on the inside, those are pretty much all of the controls you'll use.
So what can you do with Glass? Not much right now. From the main screen you get a view of the time, along with the words "OK Glass." Saying that phrase will let you access a number of voice controls, all of which worked extremely well in my tests. Without needing to use your hands, you can search for things on Google, take a picture, record video, get directions, send a message, and make a phone call. As you load more apps (Glassware), your options will expand, but those are the choices you get out of the box.
Although voice control works well, not all of the actions associated with it do. For instance, I tried sending both text and picture messages to myself, and while Glass said they were sent, I didn't always get them.
Phone calls worked well, and sound is decent on the built-in bone-conduction speaker—just keep in mind it's loud enough that anyone sitting close by will be able to listen in. Google also includes a mono earbud, which connects to Glass via micro USB and improves sound quality for calls and music. You can buy an additional stereo pair for $85, but for the price, I really feel like they should already be included.
Probably the coolest built-in feature is the ability to get directions. In order to do this, Glass requires some form of data connection and must be paired to your GPS-enabled phone running the MyGlass app. From there, you can simply ask for directions to a particular address or somewhere general, like the nearest café, and you'll be taken to a map view. Glass can deliver directions for Transit, Drive, Walk, or Bike, just like Google Maps, and will alert you to upcoming directions whether you have the display on or off. You can also choose to view the route, which includes traffic information.
But again, it's hard to concentrate on the display and anything else at the same time, so I would strongly discourage anyone from using Google Glass heavily while driving or biking, or even crossing the street on foot. Most states have passed laws limiting the use of mobile devices while driving a motor vehicle (which you can usually find on your state's DMV site), so it might actually be against the law to use Glass while driving, depending where you live. It's still probably safer than looking down at a map, but just make sure to exercise the same amount of precaution.
You can also use Glass to capture images of what you see. You can press the manual Camera button on top of Glass, tell it to take a photo, or program it so that you snap a photo whenever you wink. The camera captures perfectly decent 5-megapixel photos in good lighting, though it struggles indoors, with washed out colors and smudgy details. The camera can also record 720p video, which again looks pretty good under ideal conditions, though frame rates slow down a bit inside. I also noticed the back of the right arm often became warm after use, particularly after recording video.

Apply First Aid with a Yachting Focus - Melbourne 25th September
by Sail-World Cruising on 10 Sep 2011
First Aid with a Yachting Focus Classroom instruction SW
For a leisure sailor, a normal First Aid course is better than nothing, but it usually focuses on the first short period of time until the paramedics arrive. Plainly this is not appropriate on a yacht. In addition there are certain types of injuries more common for the sailor. So here is a First Aid Course with a Yachting Focus to be held on 25th September in Melbourne (with a flexible day prior). Any cruising sailor planning a longer cruise would be well advised to participate.
This Apply First Aid with a Yachting Focus course was developed in collaboration between the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV) and The Benchmarque Group and combines Nationally Recognised Training that has been customised with expert marine input from the ORCV into the course delivery and structure. It focuses on First Aid scenarios that may confront offshore yachties. The course is highly interactive, practical and not classroom focussed. It provides plenty of opportunity to ask question of the facilitators and practice relevant marine first aid skills as well as interact with other sailors.
Apply First Aid is based around the competencies of performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), poisoning, musculoskeletal injuries, managing shock, hemorrhage and envenomation. It includes emergency Basic Life Support and CPR. Knowledge is applied to yachting specific first aid scenarios and the unique challenges sailors may be presented with when applying first aid while onboard a yacht at sea.
The qualification must be held by at least two crew members undertaking a Category 1 ocean race and by one crew member undertaking a Category 2 event. All ocean or longer offshore races are at least Cat 2 and a good many cruising sailors also undertake this course for the overall benefit and safety it provides.
The course is generally conducted over two days and the second day takes place at the South Yarra Sports Centre (Melbourne High School)
Day 1 - Flexible Learning. Read Pre-Course Workbook and answer the Written Assessment questions therein, prior to attending the designated 8 hour classroom day.
Day 2 - Classroom. Level 3, South Yarra Sports Centre (Melbourne High School), Sunday 25th September, 2011, from 0830 to 1730hrs.
The cost is $190 for financial ORCV members and $220.00 for non-members and non-financial members.
The course is conducted by The Benchmarque Group, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO No. 21824) specialising in the delivery of a range of accredited courses. All trainers are specialist qualified Emergency Nurses or Advanced Life Support Ambulance Officers currently working in their field.
For full information about all aspects of the course http://orcv.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=717&Itemid=449!click_here first, and then for any queries, please contact ORCV Office on (03) 9689 1622 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Mayor's Chief of Staff: Yes, Rawlings and Blackburn Met Friday, But Not About Charters
The man with the mustache probably doesn't miss this.
Oh, and there's one more thing to ask Edwin Flores about tonight: his $10,000 check from the Dallas Regional Chamber-connected EducateDallas political action committee. At least, Carla Ranger, Flores's fellow Dallas ISD trustee, has some issues with it; she says so this morning on her blog, beneath the headline "Dallas ISD Trustees for sale - starting price $10,000.00."
I also see that Ranger posted to her blog yesterday, wondering if perhaps her colleagues' vote on Thursday to shutter 11 campuses didn't have something to do with converting one or more into charters, speaking of. Specifically, she wonders if DISD board president Lew Blackburn and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings met Friday to discuss "Dallas ISD school business" and just maybe turning over D.A. Hulcy Middle School to Deion Sanders, who wants to get into the charter-school business himself.
I asked DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander and the mayor's chief of staff, Paula Blackmon, if they could answer Ranger's questions. Dahlander doesn't have access to Blackburn's schedule, so he wasn't sure. I'm trying to reach Blackburn now. (Update: He's out of town, at a conference, and unavailable.) But Blackmon confirms: Rawlings and Blackburn did meet Friday, but not to discus Hulcy, she says. "They did not meet about specific schools," Blackmon tells Unfair Park. Rather, she says, Friday's sit-down was about "real broad stuff" and one in a series of periodic conversations between the mayor and the school board president concerning "overarching city and district issues."
Blackmon says Rawlings also wants to talk with Blackburn about the mayor's trip to Seattle planned for Thursday. Rawlings, she says, is going to meet with representatives from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I asked: About what? "I don't know specifically what the agenda is." Ah, now I have something to do this week.

A/N: Welcome to the final chapter. I would do my thank-you's here, but I'm sure you're all anxious to read the ending (more of an epilogue feel, if you ask me), so all my notes as well as the announcement of an upcoming project is at the end of the chapter. Enjoy the finale!

Daring To Bleed
By Nessie
Chapter Ten: Elaborate Lives
The volunteers working in the Land of Wind had been separated within Suna according to their place of origin. Since Tenten was the only one from Konoha, she had acquired a place more spacious than, say, those from the Grass, who had come in a group of eight and all lived together in one building.
And because Kiwamura Sanosuke was the only citizen hailing from the Waterfull, he too had a residence all to himself, and he used it to complete his work. The lower story was used as his home, holding a bedroom, bathroom, and small cooking area, and gave no sign that he was anything more than a normal, if superbly talented, shinobi. Upstairs…
Gaara's keen eyes took in every nook and cranny; small lanterns burning gold-red oil flickered over the "workshop" on the second floor of the housing he had provided for Kiwamura. Blueprints leaned in the corners and dangled off the edges of a multiplicity of tables set up all over the large room. Weapons – some he recognized to be Tenten's work – sat in cases against each wall. Maps of the Land of Wind and its surrounding nations littered the floor. Cracked pens, ink stains, dirty rags, tools, and scrolls all haunted the vicinity like bloodthirsty phantoms threatening an unsuspecting life. Kiwamura himself was out.
"He's been busy." Kankurou spoke from Gaara's side as the brothers inspected the place. "But he's so unobtrusive…we never had any reason to suspect—'
"No, he's useful," corrected Gaara. "So we would not want to suspect him. An electric wirer from the Waterfall, a village that powers itself with hydroelectricity." The Kazekage's eyes narrowed. "What were we thinking when we hired him?"
"We thought," Kankurou said, "that he was our only option three years ago. There was no other country allied with us that could boast to have an electrician within their borders. Of course," he added, bringing up a thick file clutched in his hand, "the Land of Waterfall did no boasting at all, considering these credentials are forged. I wouldn't be surprised if 'Kiwamura' isn't even his real name."
Gaara didn't so much as glance at the documents, choosing to take Kankurou at his word. "A costly mistake on our part. It leaves the question that if he works for the Mist rather than the Waterfall, why has he waited so long to act?"
"He needed someone to trust him," came a smooth voice from the door. The sand master and the puppet user turned to see a figure in the doorway with a hand resting on a cocked hip, and a smirk forming beneath gleaming teal eyes. "And I can see I'm the only one here witty enough to realize that," continued Temari with a grin at her brothers.
"Temari," greeted Kankurou. "When did you get he—"
"About ten minutes ago," she cut him off. "I got filled in on things from those guards Gaara's supposed to keep with him, and I found out about the attack of the office building three days ago right before I left to come back."
"What about the Chuunin Exam you're supposed to be running?" inquired Gaara, his tone as uninflected as ever.
"Shikamaru's got a handle on things, and I'll be going back when this is cleared." Temari rolled her eyes when both of them simultaneously remembered her engagement to the Nara heir, and she fielded any impending questions. "We'll talk later. As I was saying, Kiwamaru needed someone to trust him while he planned the sabotage on the construction project."
"But he doesn't mingle with anybody," stated Kankurou, folding his arms. "He has no real friends here."
"Sure he does," countered Temari, approaching them. "Someone in the same boat as him, without any fellow ninja from home to spot any possible inconsistencies in his acting. Tenten." She aimed a serious look at Gaara, though worry tinged the shine in her gaze now that she'd mentioned the person Gaara had been having feelings for. "Not a bad choice, considering how close you two were getting. Kiwamura used to speak with Tenten in her shop, however briefly. And they even worked together on a wiring project once. He probably counted on Tenten lobbying for him if you and Kankurou started to give him any flak."
"Except that there's a hole in your theory," Gaara replied evenly. "It was Tenten who had us inspect Kiwamura."
"Then it seems," Temari relayed without missing a beat, "that he talked just a little too much."
She had no sooner arrived at this conclusion when the man in question appeared at the top of the stairs, his arms full of various equipment. His green eyes widened slightly, apparently not having heard their conversation, and some of the paraphernalia clattered loudly to the floor. "Gaara-sama," he murmured, already backing down a couple of steps.
"Come on." Before he could move anymore, Kankurou released a string of chakra that encircled his waist, and he hauled the potential traitor up toward them. "Stay a minute." Kiwamura's knees landed on the hard floor, and he grimaced.
"Please," he implored, "what's going here? I just came to—"
"Devise further your plan," finished Gaara. True fear entered the usually-emotionless man's face, and one could only imagine how the three siblings appeared, cast in the demonic red glow of the lit lanterns. "I tried an unsavory number of times to negotiate with the Land of Water. My efforts were, quite plainly, in vain."
At that, the fear suddenly drained from Kiwamura's expression to be replaced by extreme dislike. "Of course, Kazekage Gaara." His voice had changed now from unknowing to cruelly accepting. "You take our business and our money, first with your shinobi, now with your land. What can a nation do but retaliate as they must?"
"Your daimyo should learn to investigate the feelings of his competition," noted Temari, one eyebrow lifted in lack of impression. "We of the Sand are not without thought to those in the Mist."
"Your pity is unneeded!"
"That's not what it looks like to me," said Kankurou. "Right now, though, we really don't have any pity to give. The Kazekage's office destroyed, innocent people attacked, a good kunoichi taken advantage of—"
"What, that whore?" Kiwamura let out a short peal of mirthless laughter. "That Tenten who dropped you the second she laid eyes on an old teammate? She served her purpose, a suitable distraction to practically everyone here while I infiltrated your obviously weak system and prepared to destroy it all. Why, I wouldn't be surprised if she's with that Hyuuga right now, laughing behind your back while they—"
But he was silenced quite instantaneously by a sand-created hand squeezing around his neck.
"I do not believe," Gaara said quietly, his anger making it difficult to keep his tone and face impassive, "that you want to complete that sentence." Kiwamura gagged, his eyes bulging, and he clawed furiously at the hand that held him but met only tightly-grouped grains of sediment. Gaara released him after several moments, and he fell on his side, wheezing, and was unconscious within seconds.
"What shall we do with him?" Kankurou asked at last.
"Interrogate him," Gaara ordered, remnants of emotion thickening his voice as he headed for the door. "Get the details of his plan and the names of those working with him. Then get in touch with the Mist. He'll make a good example if they try anything again, and…" He paused unexpectedly.
"And what?" His siblings blinked at his back.
"And tell that worthless daimyo of theirs that I am still opening myself to negotiation, whether or not he decides to take advantage of the opportunity."
As Gaara whisked out, Temari turned to look at Kankurou, a sheen of wonder coating her eyes. "That's…"
"Not what I thought he would say," nodded Kankurou. He smiled, then shook his head with a soft chuckle. "Maybe the last three years haven't been a waste like I thought."
"How is Gaara doing?" questioned Temari, watching her brother haul Kiwamura up and over his shoulders.
"Not as bad as you'd think," he replied honestly. "But Tenten…and that Hyuuga Neji…you knew, didn't you? That if he came here, she would—"
"Yeah," she said quickly. "But I was pretty sure, too, that Gaara would…that he'd be fine. Eventually." They stood in silence for a moment, then Temari sighed. "If nothing else, there's been a change in him."
Kankurou nodded his agreement. "And despite the circumstances, I wouldn't say it's a bad one."
Lee was dragging his pack on the ground, leaving a wide trail in the sand at his feet as he neared the village gates. "I don't think I got enough," he informed the pair at his side. "We're going to need enough to last us three days."
"Idiot," muttered Neji, though his voice held no true admonishment. "We need more food than dumplings. We've got enough to get home."
"But the dumplings are—!"
Tenten smiled as she listened to them argue, thinking it was much like their Genin days. She still wore a set of plain robes to cope with the heat and would not be changing until tomorrow when they were out of the Land of Wind. Slipping her pack around her shoulders, she turned away from the Konoha shinobi to face the two people seeing them off. "I can't thank you enough for your hospitality."
"Three years is a long time to do the work you've done for us," replied Temari, spreading her hands to take Tenten's. "It's this country that should be thanking you."
"I've already signed the check," Kankurou chortled. "You should be set for quite awhile."
"That doesn't matter," Tenten assured him, but Temari smiled.
"I'll be bringing the rest of your things along when I return to Konoha myself. You're sure you don't mind us taking the apartment here?"
"Consider it my early wedding gift to you and Shikamaru." Tenten had learned that once they married, Shikamaru and Temari planned on spending half the year in either Konoha or Suna, and she highly doubted that they would want to share a residence with Kankurou and Gaara. "Nothing seems like a loss now that the Mist have been stopped."
Neji approached them, touching a hand almost casually to the small of Tenten's back, but the affection was there. Lee bounded over with a wide smile. "Do you think that the Mist's daimyo will want to talk to Gaara-san?" he queried.
"We're not sure," Temari confided. "They're a stubborn group."
Tenten nodded, casting a glance around. "Speaking of Gaara…I guess he decided not to show up."
"He's busy," Kankurou told her apologetically. "What with Kiwamura's followers being apprehended, and the meetings with the contractors, he hasn't had time to—"
Tenten cut him off with a kind word. "I understand. But I…" She looked up at Neji. "It would've been nice to say goodbye."
The silence was awkward for a moment, but then Kankurou held out his hand. "You'll visit?"
"Of course," Tenten smiled, shaking. "I may need a brush-up lesson on chakra strings." She turned her pleased expression to Temari. "Or on how to use tessen."
And there, in the aridity of the day, friendships forged and strengthened, alliances were renewed. It was, the five of them realized, everything the Lands of Fire and Wind had ever hoped for. Neji and Lee shook hands with Kankurou, Tenten embraced Temari. They weren't warriors, in this moment of goodbye, but people. Human.
Something each of them, from time to time, forgot they were.
Neji turned to Tenten, allowing his fingers to slide from her back into her hand. "Are you ready?"
Tenten closed her eyes, imagining cool streams and shadowy forests and dappled sunlight. She was, it was understood, picturing home. "Yes," she murmured, opening her eyes again and turning them to her other teammate. "Lee?"
He shot her a grin that sparkled. Tenten experienced something new, with Neji holding her hand, and a fully grown Lee staring down at her. She felt…wiser, somehow. Despite the fact that as ninja they could never truly be considered normal people, it was becoming apparent that their lives were not so elaborate that they could not feel what normal people felt. Camaraderie, concern, happiness, belonging…
The three of them – the reformed, rejuvenated Team Gai – crossed the threshold of the Sand village together, leaving the city boundaries and meeting open desert that would become dirt road and brilliant grass before too long. Warmth beat down upon them from above, and suddenly Tenten felt another kind of heat. Halting, she turned her head to the left and then lifted a hand to block the sun's glare as she look upwards.
There, standing on one of the towering cliffs and nearly silhouetted by the sun, was Gaara. His robes flapped as they wished in the high-altitude breeze, and his crossed arms were not forbidding but familiar. The sheen of red hair and the flash of aquamarine eyes made Tenten comprehend that there were things to this place, things to Gaara himself, that she would never forget…nor did she want to.
His life, too, was elaborate. Yet he had seen fit to care for her. She still felt something, but it was platonic now, more sincere and more honest. It was, she suspected, exactly what he had been waiting for.
From up on his cliff with his breeze and his sky, Gaara raised a hand in farewell. And perhaps it was a trick of her mind, a play of the sun, but Tenten truly thought that she could see a smile on his face; one of understanding, of forgiveness, of daring. For he was Gaara, and he would dare again to care for someone else one day.
Her reverie broken, she brought her attention back to the man at her side. Meeting cool eyes of pale silver, she stepped toward him, and Neji held her in the way she had dreamed of in the years before the Sand.
"I love you," she murmured. And Neji, when he spoke, asked the question that she had expected, had been waiting for.
Looking up, she grinned. There was light in both her eyes and her voice. "Because you dared to love me."
"You guys!" called Lee from ahead. "Let's show Gai-sensei that we are still youthful and hurry home faster than we ever have before!"
Home, Tenten thought. Neji's hand tightened on hers.
It was just one more thing for which they dared to bleed.
The End
Notes: Ohhhh, it's over! I've had so much fun writing this fic. It became difficult to write here and that, but I think I pulled through, and I'm still so astounded at how many of you liked this fic. I know there were some people that were hoping for things to turn out differently in regards to Tenten "choice" but truly, I planned for her to be with Neji from the beginning – this fic was, after all, a sequel to a smaller fic that was NejiTen from the start. And I tried to be as nice to Gaara as I could, hinting that he'll also find love someday.
Upcoming Projects: Well, I do have another big one planned, but I'm going to take a break for awhile and work on smaller one-shots. Multi-chapter stories are taxing, especially with my job and all of that. But I will tell you that I will be spending time outlining a NejiTen and SasuSaku Chinese Historical AU epic (as challenged by the Neji x Tenten FC) and the fic itself will be debuting sometime next year.
Lastly, thank you to all that read this fic and kept so wonderfully in touch. I'm glad you weren't afraid to let me know what you thought and that, for the most part, the response was positive. I hope to keep hearing from you in the future. Again, thank you and do take care.

sorry... not the reply you are looking for..... but since I did not realize the usefulness of monitoring VoIP phones... can you maybe give me a small idea of what information is provided from the phone you are able to successfully monitor?
(We are in the process of deploying all IP phones)... I hadn't really considered monitoring them.... but maybe it's useful? Is it just for inventory?
Jan 18, 2012 at 3:58 UTC
well the usual things apply - can the SPW server ping and connect to the phones that are missing from the inventory? Anything like specific models that arent being scanned and so on.
Jan 18, 2012 at 4:59 UTC
Syntax for scan range is 10.xx.10-11.1-254 or even better, create 2 scan ranges:
- 10.xx.10.0 /24 (or 10.xx.10.1-254)
- 10.xx.11.0 /24 (or 10.xx.11.1-254)
Additionally, I suggest to follow at least #1 - #3 of this how-to: Troubleshooting Spiceworks Inventory Inconsistencies - Spiceworks Community and restart your SW.
Further be sure you have no "Scan Exclusions" defined (names or IPs for that devices) in Settings/Network Scan.
Jan 18, 2012 at 9:14 UTC
Kelly - I'm configured using POE from a Cisco 4510 Switch and almost all of my PC are connected thru the Gig phone port - so (once I've labeled the phones with phone # and such) I'll have one more tool to watch my voice vlan (Too many phone down = Blade problem) PC down but phone up possible PICNIC. Plus I want to see everything in one place...

Chinese Labour Camp Survivor Exposes Chinese Justice System in "The Black Wall"Banned in Mainland China, Qi Jiazehn Emerges With a Chilling Account About China's System of Mass Incarceration (October 21, 2011)
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/21/11 -- Author Qi Jiazhen today announced the highly anticipated "The Black Wall" (ISBN # 9781742840178), her personal account of 13 years in a Chinese labour-camp.
At the age of 20, Qi Jiazhen wakes up with a rifle pointed at her chest. Her and her father were arrested and sentenced to 13 and 15 years respectively for counter-revolutionary activities in China. Interred in the "Number Two Prison of the Sichuan Province," they were separated by only walls but could not be further apart -- a reality shared with millions of other victims of the Chinese justice system.
"These tragedies continue to this day in China. Many will recall how 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to 11 years in prison for 'inciting submission of State power' and not allowed to attend the award ceremony in Oslo. It is my hope, that 'The Black Wall' will educate the world about these injustices," says Qi Jiazhen.
While Qi's father refused to admit guilt, Jiazhen caved in to physical and psychological torment. She accepted reform and went on to become the poster girl for successful rehabilitation.
"Ultimately, the book is a testament to those who did not survive. The infuriating Wang Daqin who goes slowly mad; Mu Guangzhen who waits nearly 20 years to reunite with a forgotten husband in Taiwan and the kindly Xiong Xingzhen who is murdered while refusing to bow before the portrait of Mao Zedong," says Qi Zunzhou.
Qi Jiazhen was released from Lao Gai camp at the age of 30. She later arrived in Australia, admitted on humanitarian grounds. Today an Australian citizen, Qi Jiazhen is now retired and concentrates on writing. She is also acting vice president of the Independent Chinese Pen Centre (ICPC).
Her first book, "Tears of Freedom: A True story: Father and Daughter two generations prisoner" (2010) and "The Red Dog: A woman's abnormal life after released from Lao Gai camp" (2010) both received global media attention, and like her other fiction stories, articles and commentary, are banned in Mainland China.

Rice and Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 45mins
Recipe by majakete
This is an easier and healthier way to eat eggplant then the more traditional breaded. Sometimes I will cook the rice in chicken or beef broth for a little different flavour. This recipe originally comes from the cookbook--So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat by Betty Rohde.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds, peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (to taste)
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 cups fat-free cottage cheese or 2 cups low fat cottage cheese
- 1⁄4 cup skim milk
- 1 cup shredded fat free mozzarella cheese or 1 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
- Place the eggplant with 1/2 cup of salted water in a saucepan, cover and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and cook just until tender, with the lid on, watching closely as the water might cook away and burn the eggplant.
- Saute the onion, garlic and mushrooms until they start to brown, stirring frequently.
- Add the tomato sauce, oregano and basil.
- In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese and skim milk.
- To assemble the casserole: Make a layer on the bottom with half the cooked rice, top with half the eggplant, half the cottage cheese and milk mixture, half the mushroom tomato sauce then half the mozzarella, repeating until the mozzarella is on the top.
- Bake covered for 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and heated through.
- Remove cover then return to oven for approximately 5 minutes or until cheese has turned golden in colour.
- Enjoy!

Remember the scene where Jack and Charlie are caved-in... Jack asks Charlie how he's doing, and Charlie says something like "peachy, apart from the conversation I had with you in the jungle an hour ago." We were all led to believe it was just a heroin withdrawal-induced hallucination.
Now I for one don't believe that's all it was. And I can't seem to find any references to that scene on the main episode page. I know it happened, so don't be tellin' me it was *my* HWIH!
In the trivia section for this epp it says "For the first time, most of the survivors of flight 815 get a wardrobe change"
time travelling theories on this anyone??

I feel so young and naive:(
I dated the same guy all through high school and then some... and now we both decided we are growing apart and should date other people... I don't know anything about men and flirting and guy "codes" and rules and wingmen and appartenley wing women (I had a girl who was my "friend" but she was really just doing a favor for her male friend and trying to set me up with him..) there's so much I don't know and I don't want to get used and I don't want to be lied to and I don't want to look dumb or be too trusting, but I don't want to end up too hard and bitter like that old lady I work with "Don't trust men!" "Use em for all he's got and then leave him out on the curb!" Is there some kind of rule book (I'm serious).?. I need to get an education in men and so I can weed out the scum bags, because I've been meeting a lot of them lately and surprisingly they seem like great guys at first..

I stuck my hands in my pockets walking down the long road. I didn't have a clue where I was going but this place seemed nice. No Job. No home. No family not anymore anyway not after what just happened. Passing a cafe I glanced slightly to the right noticing a few of my old high-school friends. "Hey Wayne right?" One of them called out. I recognized him immediately. Jacob Gonzalez. All through out high-school I had a crush on this guy and there he was again. To be honest it was like getting shot through the heart.
"Yea.. i'm Wayne I can't believe you remember me.." my hands were shaking it was like seeing him in the hallways all over again. His shirt was so tight and his shorts we're practically see through. His hair had grown a little longer but I loved it. Looks like he had a new ear piercing too but that just seems so sexy to me. He smiled and walked up to shake hands with me but all I could do was stand there like an idiot. He reached his hand out and as much as I tried my hands wouldn't move. He looked at me awkwardly and then invited me over to sit down with them. They we're all talking about what ever football game was on TV. I wasn't really paying attention to anything just hoping maybe I could find the courage to even talk to one of them. But soon enough slowly and surely they started to leave for home soon it was just me and Jacob. "So you've grown a little bit bigger" he said looking directly at me. I felt my heart pound out of my chest. "Yea.. after I guess my growth spurt came a little late.. haha" He smiled at me. "So where are you living now?" I didn't know how to respond. I was homeless.. I lived in my mothers house until I was 23 she just kicked me out after I told her I was gay. I looked at him "Well.. nowhere really I don't have a place to stay just yet.." He looked at me wide eyed. "Really?" he sounded shocked. "Well, you can stay at my place if you want.. the guest bedroom is a little crowded i'll have to clean it out but yea it shouldn't be much of a task." I was so happy and scared at the same time.
Did he really mean that.. am I actually going to get the chance to stay at my dream man's house? "Well.. what do ya' say Wayne wanna stay at my place for a while?" I sat there for a moment before I could finally udder out a "Yea that would be great". As I didn't have a car he drove me back to his place. The whole time I was staring out the window thinking about the possibilities of what could happen. Since high-school I had known I was gay.. and almost the whole school knew too. The way I stared at the guys on the football field and occasionally hit on them too. I saw Jacob take a few passes at the baseball team and even once at me but I was way too shy to even speak of that.
After about 15 minuets of driving we arrived at a little house. It was really nice. A pool out front with a fence surrounding the whole place. Once we got inside he showed me around. The first room you walk into is a nice little living room. Cozy a pretty big couch and a nice little love seat in front of a fire place. On the mantle I saw picture of him in high-school he seemed so much smaller then. His hair barely running past his ears. He was really skinny in high-school but adorable. I glanced over at him. He had worked out a lot since then. Not to built but some nice muscle. I shut my jaw practically drooling over him. "Well let me show you the bedroom then." At first I assumed he meant the guest bedroom but we went straight to his room. The bed was pretty big. Big enough for two people. There was a side table on either side and a dresser placed under a flat-screen TV on the wall opposite of the bed. "You wouldn't mind sleeping here tonight right? The couch is way to small for you and the guest bedroom is way to messy right now." My eyes widened at the thought of sleeping next to him. "Yea.. I don't mind at all." He smiled at me "well the bathroom is right down that hall if you want to shower if you don't that's fine with me. You saw the kitchen what's mine is yours the living room isn't much if you want you can watch TV in there or in here. I'll most likely be outside in the pool that's where I spend most of my time anyway" I smiled back at him and simply replied with "Alright cool let me grab my bags out of the back of your car I think I have a suite if you'd allow me to get in with you.." "Yea of course meet you out back!"
I changed into my swim trunks in the bathroom and walked outside to the pool. Jacob was laying in a poolside chair with his eyes closed smiling. He had already changed into his trunks too. His body was amazing. His long black hair was almost down to his shoulders. His abs we're amazing too. Like I said not to muscly but that's the way I like my guys. He opened his eyes to see me there. I had an obvious boner but there wasn't much I could do to hide it. He looked down at my trunks and smiled at me. "That monster for me?" He grinned. I started to blush as he walked to me. "Look Wayne.. since high-school I had a little crush on you. I dreamed of your body on mine. Oh wow I guess i'm being a little to forward here huh.. oh god i'm so sorry" "No.. don't be" I felt my voice shake and start to crack. He slid his hand down my chest slowly making his way down to my trunks. He looked up into my eyes and smiled back at me. "Are you sure you want to do this.." My heart was pounding but god did I want him. "Of course" I whispered to him. "Good.. because I have wanted you since I was 15 and I can't wait to have your ass"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/1/2012 (2044 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THEY come from a war-torn nation looking for a fresh start in Friendly Manitoba.
Yet, some African immigrants have learned the kindness only extends so far, and a failure to comply with the law can mean a ticket back home.
Justice officials have expressed concern for years about the recruitment into gangs of new arrivals to Winnipeg. They say impressionable youths are often lured into the lifestyle with promises of social status and money.
"They know when these kids are arriving at the airport. They are there right at the airport to welcome them," said Andrew Bawa, community case manager for Project Oasis, established in 2008 to help young people who have fled war-torn countries, mostly in Africa.
For some vulnerable youth, the gangs offer hope. Some youth have watched their parents -- many with a high level of education -- struggle to find work.
"They ask the question: 'What's the need? Why do I need to go to school anyway?' " said Bawa, who moved to Canada from Nigeria in 2005.
The consequences of not keeping youth out of gangs is tragic.
As a boy in Somalia, Yassim Ibrahim saw his father murdered. He immigrated to Winnipeg in 1999 with his mother and four siblings, and in less than 10 years, at age 23, he was the godfather of the Mad Cowz street gang. His criminal record included the attempted murder of a rival gang member. Ibrahim was deported back to Somalia.
"I was a beautiful kid who had a dream at one time to be a doctor. But I became a street hustler, selling crack," Ibrahim told the Free Press at the time.
A 2010 police report on the African Mafia street gang determined it's a splinter off the Mad Cowz, which first caught police attention in 2005. Officials estimate the African Mafia had 40 to 50 members and associates, but membership varied due to who was in prison, killed or deported.
Members hailed from Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia and lived mainly in Winnipeg's West End.
Const. Ryan Howanyk, who authored the report, said police are "keeping tabs on" the movement of gang members between Winnipeg and other parts of the country such as Toronto and several areas in Alberta. The African Mafia has grown to 40 to 50 members and associates in Winnipeg and grown more sophisticated, he said.
"Toronto is having the same problems Winnipeg has... Toronto is a large city with dozens and dozens of violent streets gangs," he said.
"And we're finding that African Mafia members here in Winnipeg are associating closely with different street gangs that are operating in Toronto."
Canada Border Services has increased its efforts to deport immigrants who turn to crime. Several members of the Mad Cowz and the African Mafia have been given the boot. Many have tried to fight the move, claiming they face certain death in their home country.
Some gang members facing deportation have pointed to the story of Hussein Jilaow, who as a high-ranking member of the Mad Cowz racked up a massive criminal record in Winnipeg and was returned to Somali, where he was quickly killed.
More recently, officials have said the Mad Cowz are locked in a gang war with the Manitoba Warriors, a mostly aboriginal street gang. Justice sources say the gangs were involved in at least five shootings and fire bombings in the West End in the first two weeks of 2012.
It's hard to hold on to hope with so much violence surrounding youths. But Bawa doesn't give up.
"These are people that just found themselves in a different part of the world as a result of war," said Bawa.
"It's like leaving one war zone, escaping one war zone, and coming to another war zone."

Old Fashion Chocolate Pie
Recipe by Debaylady
Oh, my goodness! Rich, creamy...what more do you need? I believe this is like my Mom's recipe. I found it on a blog, Mommy's Kitchen. After searching here and not finding any recipe like it, I am posting it for everybody. You may make your own crust or use a frozen one. Baking the crust is not included in the prep or cooking time. If you like a darker chocolate, add more cocoa.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
Followed your recipe right on down, using my own pie crust & almost doubling the amount of cocoa in the filling! However, when it came to the meringue, I left it off! Interestingly enough, although I'm not a big fan of that kind of topping, I will eat it when it's there! Anyway, the finished pie was an absolutely wonderful chocolate fix for us two chocoholics, & for that we thank you! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]

Can't Get Enough of FridgeX Silicone Storage Containers?
Tupperware, Rubbermaid, takeout bowls — call them what you will — but everyone loves a fridge filled with those plastic food storage containers! It obviously means there's leftovers — and lots of them. When there's extra meatloaf from Mom, Grandma's famous scalloped potatoes or a serving of last night's lasagna in the fridge, there's no bologna sandwiches for lunch.
But as wonderful as it is to heat up leftovers at work instead of digging into a smashed PB&J, most plastic storage containers have a limited shelf life. It's only a matter of time before a lid is lost, pasta sauce stains the container red, someone melts it in the microwave or a mystery stench refuses to wash out.
That is, unless, you're using FridgeX Silicone Storage Containers.
Why Buy FridgeX Storage Containers?
If you're concerned about where your food comes from, you should be worried about where it's stored and what it's reheated in. Cheap takeout containers are not meant to be washed and reused. Pop those in your microwave, and you risk plastic leaching into your food.
FridgeX Silicone Storage Containers are 100% green and made of natural, non-toxic, non–reactive materials. But the inorganic material that makes up our FridgeX Storage Containers can stand up to wear and tear from your family without chipping or breaking.
Take FridgeX Silicone Storage Containers to the Extreme
FridgeX Storage Containers are able to withstand extreme temperatures. You can use the containers in the oven (up to 430 degrees F), microwave, freezer or fridge. The FridgeX Storage Containers can go immediately from cold to hot temperatures without risk of cracking.
So you can take the same FridgeX Storage Container of frozen baked ziti out of the freezer, put it in the oven, place it on the table and put the lid back on it to store leftovers in the fridge. Talk about easy clean-up!
No Lost Lids With FridgeX Storage Containers
Our silicone covers make for a secure fit on our FridgeX Storage Containers. Unlike traditional plastic storage containers, you don't have to worry about them going missing anytime soon. All of our FridgeX Storage Containers collapse and nest for easy storage. When everything is neat and organized in your cupboard, it makes it a breeze to find the right FridgeX Storage Container!
Smell and Stain-Resistant FridgeX Silicone Storage Containers
No matter how many times you put pasta in your FridgeX Storage Containers, you won't find any sauce stains afterward. Another thing you won't find lingering in your FridgeX Storage Containers? Odors. Put FridgeX Storage Containers to the test with tuna sandwiches, leftover fish or sauerkraut. We promise our storage containers won't absorb the smell of your leftovers, no matter how stinky they make the work microwave.
Make the Switch to FridgeX Storage Containers
If you're ready to rid your kitchen cabinets of cheap, stained, lidless plastic storage containers and make the switch to FridgeX Storage Containers, take advantage of our 16-piece set, available for less than $110.

This means, where a foreign donor funded project is registered as a Vat vendor, the funding it receives from an international donor is zero-rated.
The distinction with the zero-rating here is important.
Although the foreign donor funded project accounts for Vat at the zero-rate on its international funding received, it can claim the relevant input tax relating to the project.
Well there you have it. If your project is funded by a foreign donor, the funding won't be subject to tax.
