The annual Microsoft Australia Partner Awards is the vendor's way of recognising the most innovative companies in the country in areas such as Cloud technology, entrepreneurial spirit and sales excellence.

Finally, Brennan IT's commitment to customer excellence applies as equally to our people as our understanding of technology, and this was recognised at the annual ARN ICT Awards with our Service Desk Manager, Brett Kelly, awarded with a Highly Commended award for outstanding customer service.

There are different reasons why you should sell your property fast which may be because of relocating to a different place for a job immediately. Selling your property fast provides you an opportunity of getting instant cash so that you will have enough money for relocating to a different location. Selling off your property fast may also be because you might be facing a foreclosure for which you will need to make quick sale. There are different ways of selling your property fast but voluntary repossession is one of the most commonly used methods for selling your property.
Voluntary options
Voluntary repossession is a process of stopping your mortgage payments so that you can move out of your property and then voluntarily handle the keys of your property to your mortgage company. This is the most feasible option for you if you are unable to pay your mortgage and you are unable to sell your sell and hence it is the perfect solution for you. You should resort to this method for your property if you are unable to afford the repayments of your home and it is generally in the negative equity. This means that the amount that you owe on your mortgage is more than the entire value of your home and it also means that you lag behind your payments.
This is the best option for you if you are struggling with the payments of your home and you wish to give up your ownership of your home. You can sell your home and rent it back so that you can get money that you require as you are no longer unable to pay the mortgage amount. But the lender will also need to provide you with reasonable time for selling your home fast with the help of voluntary repossession.

If you our also attending the wedding as a guest, do you cut the cake or have catering staff handle it.
I guess that would depend on who it is for and if they paid you for it or it is a gift? I personally have made a cake for someone, but let them know they needed someone to cut it - though I told them I would show them how to do it first AND I have made one and done the cutting - one was for a friend and one was for family - I guess it depends.
I know a lot of bakers who sell cakes have that as an option, but they are paid for it.
It depends on if i agreed to cut the cake. Some brides will ask that you cut the cake, so that they know that responsibility is taken care of and no one is running around looking for someone to cut the cake. I have not made a cake for a wedding that had catering staff available to cut the cake. I've been the cutter for all events that i attended (if i made the cake). I would be prepared to cut the cake, if you want it done properly and so the bride gets the requested amount of servings.
It depends on the venue. Some dictate that they must cake (and then charge for it). Some brides ask that you cut it. I have cut someone else's cake, at an out of town family wedding. It all just depends.

Back to top Abid HasanNew UserJoined: 25 Mar 2013Posts: 86Location: India Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 10:52 am Post subject: Hello Viswanath, The query raised is a little vague, also we donot know what all you've already tried that 'did not work'. A few quick questions that come to mind on reading the post: a. Are all the 'N' VB datasets having same RECL, or are they different? b. Will the programmer 'be aware' of the input LRECL or they can vary depending upon every run? c. How does the programmer choose the output LRECL for any of the input? Either way, if you choose DFSORT to do this, a quick solution with a bit of coding, can be rigged up as below (this is but one of many ways): 1. Have the list of input VB DS in a PS dataset 2. Use this DS as input and generate a dynamic JCL which uses OUTFIL VTOF function of *SORT; again this can be done by using multiple SORT steps or a single ICETOOL 'COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL)' step wherein, data in 'CTL' will remain constant, 'COPY FROM' statements will depend on how many datasets are to be copied. 3. Route the above output to INTRDR. 4. In case LRECL for the VB DS can vary, save the LISTDS info of all the datasets in a PS dataset; trim this data to group DSN and LRECL. 5. Use the aforementioned DFSORT JCL build to build the requisite COPY JCL using the info obtained in point '4'; and route the output to INTRDR. A similar logic can be used in case of REXX; but there again, YOU will have to devise a solution to handle output LRECL.

Sash, Table and Mirror Screws
Brass sash, table and mirror screws.
The sash screw was conceived as a security device for double hung windows. A hole is drilled through one frame and into the other. The flanged nut is set into the second frame so when the screw is inserted and tightened, the two frames are locked together. These screws can be used in many applications where individual sections need to be assembled securely and dissembled easily.

Hi, just wondering what it's like to wear a skirt. I've been tempted to try but realise this probably sounds strange. I know they look good on girls, but on a guy, well not so sure. I've window shopped and seen some really nice looking skirts and think what a great change to wear a skirt instead of trousers all the time. What do you think? Should I try one? If so, what type of skirt? I've looked at plain colored bodycon style and think these look really cool and smart. Have also looked at pencil style, but just not sure if I should actually try them. Thanks for any tips etc.
#michelle3685: The kilt is a good idea but they are very expensive. Also, had not considered a pleated skirt. Were you thinking of a long or short one?
#Complicated-soul: Don't think I fancy lungi's but this was a good suggestion, thanks.
So far I now have pleated, pencil and bodycon skirts on my list.
Thanks again for all the help.
Most Helpful Girl
Love them, dresses too. Try a kilt to see what you think and to gauge others reactions, if in public. If it goes ok, then move on to a nice pleated skirt.10|10|0
Go with something just above the knee.
- Show AllShow Less
As long as it covers the goodies, with a few inches to spare, you should be good.
OK, that is what I have been thinking. The skirts I have been looking at should be OK in terms of length. I might treat myself to one soon. Thanks for your help!

Just after 3:30 this afternoon, Rescue 21 was dual dispatched with the Vista Fire Department for a reported rollover with possible extrication on Rt. 123 in the area of Mill River Road. Car 2451 was the first unit on scene and confirmed a single vehicle rollover, into a pole, with one trapped.

South Salem firefighters were once again out on Route 35 for a rolled over vehicle. Just after 9:30pm, on Tuesday, May 30th, firefighters were dispatched to a reported rolled over vehicle that was smoking, in the area of the firehouse. Car 2451 arrived on scene and advised that a single vehicle was on its side, smoking, with the lone occupant out and being evaluated by the Westchester EMS Medic. All Rescue 21 and Engine 166 had to do was to pull out of the firehouse and they were on scene. Rescue 21 crew secured the vehicle and stemmed the flow of fluids, while the crew from Engine 166 stood ... (Full Story & Photos)
Just after 3pm on Sunday, May 29th, South Salem firefighters were dispatched to a reported rollover with extrication on Route 35 near the Shell station.

Car 2451 was the first arriving fire unit and updated the location as west of the Shell station, on the hill adjacent to the Meadows and that a single vehicle had rolled over the guardrail.
While Route 35 was shut down and traffic diverted through Mark Mead Rd., ... (Full Story & Photos)
This past month was the annual period of members rolling up their sleeves, taking everything out of the trucks, cleaning every square inch, putting everything back in the trucks and getting ready for the white glove inspection. The last four Monday night drills, and many other hours in between, were devoted to making all the apparatus and firehouse look the best it can be. This wasn't just a time for cleaning, but a time to carefully go over all elements of the trucks in order to ensure everything is in top working order. And this is all to get ready for the Annual Inspection Dinner.

It is with deep regret that the South Salem Fire Department has learned of the passing of Life Member Martin "Marty" Donohue on February 23, 2017, at his residence in Rhode Island. Marty was the quintessential American volunteer fireman. Never one to engage in disagreements or Department politics, Marty was content just to be a part of the organization and was always happy to help out with his smoking pipe in hand. Marty was a dedicated member responding to emergencies, participating in work details, serving as Captain of Engine Company 2 & 3, and serving many, many years as the Department's Vice ...

ptee is a Unix shell tool similar to tee, but it allows you to invoke multiple sub-shells in parallel. Standard input to ptee is copied to both normal standard output and to each sub-shell running under ptee. Each sub-command is run concurrently and fed the same input. The output of each sub-command is thrown away, but any shell expression can be used, such as redirecting to a file. Note that there are some limits on ptee. The shell pipeline will only execute at the pace of the slowest sub-command; otherwise large amounts of data would have to be buffered. Also, the shell that ptee invokes requires 'sh'-like semantics, such as supporting the -c option.
Google Calendar Chrome Extension adds a button to your browser toolbar that displays a preview of your calendar while you're navigating. (works on any page). If you're on certain sites where it detects the presence of events, the icon changes to a green "+". Clicking that icon lets you add the event to your Google Calendar, and shows you a Map (if there's a location it could detect.) Supported sites include Facebook, Evite, and any site that uses the hCalendar microformat or derivative microformats such as hResume.
AssignmentTracker X is a student-oriented assignment and grade tracking application for students using Mac OS X. It allows students to track their assignments and sort them, as well as give instant access to the students' grades and print detailed reports on the students' current assignments and grades.
Dwarf HTTP Server is a full-featured Web server with a Java Servlet API 2.2 implementation and JSP support. Since it is based on the Dwarf framework, it shares its common design principles: powerful security architecture, modularity and extensibility, XML-based configuration, uniform logging, and remote management.
JFileUpload is a Java applet that allows uploading of files and folders to any Web or FTP server. This component can be integrated into any application, whether the server-side technology is JSP/Servlet, PHP, Coldfusion, CGI, or Microsoft ASP. The front-end provides an upload progress bar, a cancel button, and drag-and-drop support. JFileUpload supports very large uploads over 2GB and can resume broken uploads. Its colors, size, and language can be customized.

Written in Babylon around 600 BC, this extraordinary text foreshadows the coming of Jesus and first gives Jesus the title, "the Son of Man". Understanding the historical context of this text can be quite complex, but Dr. Creasy makes it both simple and interesting. While an occasional ringing cell phone disrupts the lecture, the live aspect of the recording brings listeners right into the heart of the engaging story. Dr. Creasy's analysis of Daniel's words, including the choice of quotations and contextual details, appeals to both new and expert biblical scholars. Meanwhile, his clear enthusiasm makes learning about ancient Babylon lots of fun.
In Jewish Bibles, Daniel is classified among the "Writings", not among the "Prophets"; in Christian Bibles, Daniel is classified among the major prophets. Written sometime in the second century B.C., the story of Daniel is set in Babylon, 605-539 B.C. Read through a Christian interpretative lens, Daniel foreshadows the coming of the Messiah as well as the "end time" events in the book of Revelation. Daniel is a very important book for Jesus, who draws his self-referential title "Son of Man" from Daniel 7:13-14; who quotes directly from Daniel 12 in the Olivet Discourse; and who seals his "guilty" verdict before Jerusalem's religious leaders by reference to the book of Daniel. Join Logos Bible Study's Dr. Bill Creasy as he explores this extraordinary work.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Great bible Study!"
This is a great bible study that gives background, historical context, and great biblical cross reference details that is almost impossible to find anywhere else. Have your bibles read and dive-in!
"Critical prophesy book for Christians"
Dr Creasy does an excellent job at explaining the numerous prophesies in the book of Daniel. The one that lines up with Jesus riding into Jerusalem is just amazing. I also liked how he explained how the Jews consider the book of Daniel one of the "writings" and not a prophetic book in their scriptures. This study is highly recommended.

If your database is read-only, I guess you could put your database in a jar (your application jar file) and the wrap the jar in an exe file. You can read about putting the DB in a jar in the Derby Developer's Guide, within the section "Creating Derby databases for read-only use". There may also be some "java-to-exe" tools that can do that sort of thing for you, I don't know.

This coin's 80 mm surface allows the real amber inserts to show the rather long ancient route that was travelled from the Baltic Sea southward. The coin is nicely antiqued with decent engraved map details. The reverse side's engraved design is not over done in relief, but is rather a simple map of a section of Europe that encompasses the historical Amber Road. The amber pieces inserted into the road itself is a nice touch and compliments the overall eye appeal of this issue. I love the historical element that it represents and that was enough for me to make the purchase. I'm very pleased with the coin and especially the nicely done packaging that comes with it. Some other nice features include the low "serialized" mintage, and the large capsule is of a "screw" type, which I like....!

Implications of "The Flower Faerie"
The Emperor's son walks in the darkest part of the woods and sees this flower that looked like it was glowing.
I think that it looked like it was glowing because the flower was this bright bright yellow color and he was in the middle of the darkest part of the woods.
He saw a magical being made of rainbow colored lights.
I think that it look like it had rainbow colored lights on it because he was in the dark forest and her clothes probably were sparkly because she is a fairy . Also it is probably multicolored.
The emperor saw the fairy and was also taken by its beauty just like the emperors son.
I think that it means that he was so mesmerized by the faeries beauty. like he could not look away and it was just glowing.
What a Gem
I think that they thought that the faerie was so precious and a gem is precious so they compared the faerie and a gem.
I don't think the fairy cares much for treasure... she likes flowers, says the Emperors son.
I think you can make an inference that the fairy likes flowers.
As the flowers died the fairy started to lose her color and she started to die.
i think you can make an inference that the flower faerie cannot live without the flowers.
One day the soldiers came back with empty hands.
i think it means that that their were no more flowers in the kingdom
The Emperors son set the faerie free but she could not fly so he drew a picture of a flower in hope that it might help then she could fly then she flew over the kingdom and the flowers grew back.
i think that the faerie is magical so she just need to see a picture of a flower and then she has her magical "powers" back then she can make the flowers grow back/

My Nan was a knitter and crochet queen and my granny embroidered, upholstered and made models of swiss villages (dont ask!) So somewhere along the line I think I was bound to pick up the Craftivist bug. I learnt the basics at their knees but put away my needles for a long time until I was pregnant with my daughter and I started to feel the pull of the wool!
My grandladies are sadly no longer with us so I've had to rely on books and blogs for advice, but bit by bit its coming back to me...and I'm learning new stuff all the time.
My mission this year is to complete some, make that all of the projects ive started which are languishing in baskets around the house, my UFOs (unfinished objects). I dont get much time for these in between working full time, parenting and gardening but I try to make sure I do a little and often as I know now that Nan and Gran were onto something - the zen of stitchery.
On this page I hope to record my projects as I go. Hopefully I'll progress as I progress and my skills might go up as the unused yarn and fabric stash goes down. Hopefully somewhere two old Yorkshire Craftivists will be proud and hopefully if i complete my UFOs BH wont notice if i bring more fabric into the house!!!
This is my first completed project...
I bought the Kaffe Fasset squares on ebay and the binding from our local fabric shop. I had to sew it with one hand on the machine and one had on 'quilting for dummies' and at one point I was laid on the living room floor pinning it, hand sewing it and trying to stop the dog from plonking himself down on it! I've done bits of patchwork before but this is the first Ive finished - hurrah!
This Yorkshire Craftiness...

KRISTEN Stewart's Snow White and The Huntsman co-star Charlize Theron is reportedly furious over the actress' affair with director Rupert Sanders.
RadarOnline reports Theron became "tight" with Sanders' wife Liberty Ross during filming and feels Stewart has betrayed her.
"Charlize is absolutely fuming with Kristen for having an affair with Rupert," an told the gossip site.
"She is very tight with Liberty, has often socialized with the family over dinner, and cannot believe Kristen has done this.
"When they were filming Snow White and the Huntsman, Charlize felt like an older sister to Kristen, and they were always sharing advice ... She even asked Kristen if she wanted to be her baby Jackson's godmother."
Charlize has reportedly been left in a "rock and a hard place" as she feels great sympathy for Liberty, but has a "sisterly love" for Kristen.

Still Searching For Airport Security
It was created to shield the nation's airports and transportation systems from attack after Sept. 11, 2001. But lately, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) itself has come under more scrutiny than a cigarette lighter at a passenger screening station.
The three-year-old agency has been ridiculed for everything from pat-downs of women and U.S. senators, to a "no-fly" passenger list that has produced story after story of mistaken identity, to a recent $16 million purchase of new uniforms with sturdier epaulets. More importantly, it still fails too often at detecting guns, knives and improvised explosive devices, and it's years behind in developing "smart" technologies that could help screeners do their work.
The problems haven't gone unnoticed in the White House, which recently asked the current TSA administrator to step down in June. With the agency slated for deep budget cuts this year, President Bush is said to be looking for someone who either can rebuild the agency or dismantle it.
Either way, the story of TSA can serve as a classic Washington morality tale. The agency is one of the federal government's greatest bureaucratic achievements of the past 50 years. But it's also an embodiment of the torpor that can overcome bureaucracies, public or private. As memories of 9/11 have faded, TSA has begun to look like any other federal agency. It has lived an entire bureaucratic life in quick time, moving from urgency toward complacency in just three short years. The question now is whether it can wake up in time to prevent its own demise.
Given an urgent mission and almost no time to achieve it, TSA grew from just 13 federal employees in January 2002 to nearly 65,000 by the following November. That's not only remarkable, it's unprecedented. It met every deadline in a deadline-heavy statute, built screening stations on every concourse at every commercial airport and fired the private screeners who had been on duty the day terrorists turned four airplanes into massive bombs. Just 18 months after its launch, TSA moved into the new Department of Homeland Security as one of its anchor agencies.
But TSA's extraordinary achievements didn't insulate it from anti-big-government attacks from House Republicans who opposed the agency from the start. Nor did they prevent standard bureaucratic blunders, such as lavish spending on executive office furniture.
It's easy to blame those House Republicans -- who never met a TSA budget they couldn't cut and eventually capped the number of screeners at 45,000 in 2003 -- for the tailspin. The cuts and caps not only distracted the agency from more important problems, such as port security, but they also delayed the development of new technologies that might have helped employees wade through X-rays of cluttered carry-on baggage and eliminate the much-reviled pat-downs. TSA also had little choice but to fill the gaps with temporary employees, summer replacements and part-timers, and to carve into its research and development budget to meet the inevitable payroll shortfalls. It also put those less-than-smiley private contractors at the front of the waiting lines to check tickets and IDs, and even imposed a temporary hiring freeze during the heavy 2003 summer season.
But not all of the turbulence came from outside the agency. Driven by the demand for consistency where none had existed before, as well as by his own history in federal law enforcement, TSA's first administrator, John Magaw, issued one irritating rule after another, prohibiting passengers from carrying nail clippers through checkpoints one day, and cups of coffee the next.
With just 1,200 screeners in place by June 1, 2002, and TSA's airport directors in near revolt against his one-size-fits-all-airports approach, Magaw was replaced late that summer by former Coast Guard commandant James Loy, a no-nonsense administrator who had once admonished Bill Clinton that the logical extension of doing more with less was doing everything with nothing. Within three months of Loy's arrival, the coffee rule was gone, airline employees stopped asking that ridiculous question about never leaving your suitcase alone, and the agency was hiring 8,000 to 10,000 screeners a month.
Yet Loy's honeymoon was not to last. Already operating under the employment cap, and facing a second year of budget cuts from the White House, TSA saw employee turnover and worker injuries begin to rise. Performance stagnated -- and rumors of dismantling began flying.
Loy also made the unenviable decision to prohibit labor organizing. Although Congress would have made the decision for him if he hadn't, the move created endless complaints on the frontlines, especially in a workplace where pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and baggage handlers are all unionized. Having interviewed more than my share of passenger screeners over the years, I know firsthand about the anger. Every time I ask a screener about the labor issue on my travels, I get pulled aside for an extra-thorough pat-down. I don't know whether they think I'm pro-management or just asking too many questions, but the result is almost always 10 more minutes with the security screener.
TSA faces several possible futures. If House GOP members get their way, for example, the agency will become what they always wanted -- a small regulatory agency with limited oversight responsibility over private contractors. So far, there's no sign of a mad rush toward privatizing the airport security job again. Although Congress allowed airports to opt out of the federal system in favor of private contractors beginning last November, only the airport in tiny Elko, Nev., has asked TSA to approve the changeover.

Definition of cyanobacterium
: any of a major group (Cyanobacteria) of photosynthetic bacteria that are single-celled but often form colonies in the form of filaments, sheets, or spheres and are found in diverse environments (such as salt and fresh water, soils, and on rocks) ◆Like other bacteria, cyanobacteria lack a nuclear membrane and membrane-bound organelles and have cell walls containing peptidoglycan . However, cyanobacteria were more commonly grouped with algae in the past because they possess a type of chlorophyll (chlorophyll a) not found in other bacteria and because they produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. —called also blue-green alga
