Lia paused a few moments, pondering Sebastian's suggestions, and her own feet. "Hey, Zack, maybe we should get Josh back into bed and then go find Shawn?" she suggested. "We might need some supplies, after all, and Sebastian's right," she said, glancing at the door. "SOmeone'll have to look around."
She paused a few moments more, thinking again. "Or maybe you should stay here and I'll just go with Shawn? Leave someone here with the two gimps?" She smiled wryly at Josh then, teasing. "Josh and Marta, I mean. As capable as Seabay is, it might be hard for him to handle the two alone, given the unfamiliar environment."

Josh nodded to Seabay, but shook his head to Lia and Zack, waving them off as he rose slowly from the floor to seat himself in the chair. Zack eyed him critically. "Are you sure?"
Josh nodded. "Go," he said at last, leaning upon one arm on the table and reaching gingerly, mindful of his shoulder, for his sketchbook with the other hand.
Reluctantly, Zack relented. "Okay... guess I'm with you, Gumby."
Josh could see that both Zack and Lia wanted to stretch their legs and look around and, honestly, Lia had a good point. Josh blinked, determined to seem 'okay', at least until they left, then he could get himself to bed or put his head down on the table, as soon as they were gone.

Shawn double checked everything before he got ready to leave: his guns, ammo, blades, and a medical kit should he need it. He paced, thinking about his next move after staying here a bit. He knew it would not be easy, but he wanted to start his own colony, pass on on his training, his tactics, fighting abilities, and such. He paced a bit more and decided he would wait a few extra minutes to see if anyone would be coming along.

Lia glanced once more at Josh, doubting her earlier proclamation that they should go look around. "Maybe... We should stay," she hesitated, noting Zack's own unwillingness to leave, though Josh suddenly insisted they should go.
"Alright, fine, we'll go," she said, "but Seabay, remember the phone is on that table between our beds, if you need to call for help." Her voice sounded perhaps a bit motherly, but at that particular moment, she didn't care much.
She sighed, then nodded at Zack, confident he would follow before she headed out the door.
"Which one was his?" she asked, glancing down the hallway in both directions, unsure of which direction to take. Unless Shawn had left already, which would make the point moot.

"This way." Zack gestured toward the astronauts room, still not sure how far to trust the man but figuring this was as good a way as any to find out. Knocking on the door, he called out, "Honey, I hoooome."
Josh waited until they'd left the room, then put his head down on top of his sketchbook, groaning softly.

Shawn opened the door and let the younger ones in. He had both a long sharp combat knife and a pistol for each of them and for each of them a vest with four clips attached to them. "Please put these on, and do you know how to work a firearm?" he asked the both of them.

"Duh," Zack replied, rolling his eyes as he drew his jacket back to reveal the Sig Saur P226 tactical operations pistol in his waistband, as well as the hunting knife on his belt. "We're still alive, aren't we?" He shook his head at the vest. "No thanks. I mean, I appreciate it, but I like my gun, thanks. My brother taught me to shoot with it and I'm used to it. I've got spare mags in my jacket pockets."

Lia eyed Shawn's arsenal and offered protection dubiously, but couldn't help but roll her eyes as Zack offered up his own contribution. "What is it with men and their /guns/?" she sighed. "I have a gun too, but I've only had to use it a couple of times, and it's certainly not my go-to defense." Admittedly, that was because she didn't actually /know/ how to use it effectively. "What's to know, other than point and shoot? It's kind of like a camera, right?"
She grinned at them both a moment, before another thought struck her. "Hey, you're all decked out like we're headed to some war zone. I didn't realize we were headed /out/ out there... From what Miss Kait was saying, this wasn't such a dangerous place to wander. Are you sure we need all of that?"
She wasn't so sure they should be going out if things were as dangerous as Shawn seemed to think they were.

Seabay heard Josh groan, and the thud of his head hitting his book, and smiled wryly, wiping his hands on a dishtowel. "That sounds like a 'Yeah, going to bed sounds like a great idea, Seb,' to me. Think you can stand, Josh?" he asked from by the small kitchen's sink.
Josh held up one finger without raising his head, not thinking for the moment about the fact that Seabay couldn't see the gesture. Remembering then, he said softly, "I'm fine here."
"I know they say it's good to 'curl up with a good book', but I don't think they meant it so literally," Seabay mused, frowning slightly. "How's that comfortable?"
Josh sighed, then slowly raised his head, pushing himself into a more upright position with his good arm. Blinking against the stars that danced at the edge of his vision. "It's fine," he answered weakly. He closed his eyes, then asked, "I thought you were going to bed."
Seabay snorted, and walked over to reach out a hand, seeking to check Josh's forehead for a temperature. "Did you take Miss Kait's meds? You sound anything but, so don't give me this 'I'm fine' crap. We're buddies through this, us four--I'm not leaving a man down." Then he added, "I am... once I'm done making sure you don't keel over and break something here, or get sicker. Zack and Lia'll kill me if I let you do that."
Josh nodded. He'd been caught up in the rest of what he was doing and missed both the antibiotics and the pain meds. Oh boy, was he feeling it now.
"You took them? You better have--I can still write well enough to leave Zack a note to check." Seb smirked.
"No... was busy," Josh answered very nearly inaudibly, his eyes still closed. He wanted to protest that he wasn't getting sicker, but the truth was he knew better. "How's Marta?"
Seb sighed. "Well, let me get them, then. You feel warm. Where are they?" he asked, looking around (out of old habit, as it does him no good). "Marta's alright. She got kind of agitated with Shawn around, though. But she's quiet now. I'll check on her water before I go back to bed with her. Maybe I can wash her up a bit tomorrow in the tub, if things are closed enough." Meaning her wounds.
"Nightstand," Josh answered in response to where they were. He nodded. Maybe he could help him clean her up.
Seabay pushed heavily off the counter, taking up the rod to feel his way along. He bumped his feet into a chair once and a lamp twice before finding the nightstand. "Here?" he asked, opening the drawer. "These two?" He held up a couple pill-containers.
Josh reached up to touch his shoulder gingerly, frowning at the heat he felt there. Great, he thought. Way to blow it, Josh. "Yeah," Josh answered in response to Seb's question. He reached out and took the pill containers, trying to open them one handed.
Seb shook his head, smiling, and set his rod aside to open the other. "Here. Let's trade."
Reluctantly, Josh handed one back. He'd never been good at asking for help, and tended to be worse at accepting them.
The blind teen swiftly opened the other. "Got some water or anything to wash it down?" he asked.
Josh glanced longingly at the coffee pot, wondering if he could get there and get a cup without falling over. "No," he replied quietly. He didn't already have one.
Seb smiled wryly, and without a word, picked up his rod and worked his way back toward the sink to get a glass for Josh. Seemed he was already memorizing the place, as he at least had the right general direction to start with.
Josh made to push himself up out of the chair, thinking to try it, when the world tilted. He dropped back to the chair quickly, hissing at his shoulder's protest, then put his head back down. So much for moving.
Plopping the glass of water in front of Josh, Seabay eyed him worriedly. "That didn't sound good," he observed. "I think I'd better help you to bed once you're done with these."
"Changed my mind..." Josh offered, not wanting to risk taking both himself and Seb down if he toppled over. He rose back up slowly, took the pills and downed them with the water, then put his head back down. Here was fine.
"About what? What we're going to have for dinner?" Seabay asked, laughing. "I think it's whatever tins we have for you, me, and Marta tonight. Random selection, unless /you/ pick it."
Just the thought of food made Josh's stomach lurch. Swallowing hard, he drew a slow breath. Finally, he answered, "Water's fine." Then, "Tinned beef... for Marta... pack by the door," he added reluctantly, taking an MRE from his pocket and pushing it toward Seabay.
Seb took the MRE and tucked it into his own pocket, then shook his head and smiled, guessing Josh wasn't up to much more. He reached down for Josh's good arm. "C'mon. Let's get you to bed. I may be not much more than a stick, but I can still be something to lean on if you guide us both. Easier now than when you fall out of the chair onto the floor."
"Won't fall," Josh mumbled, drawing his arm back from Seabay's grasp.
Seb frowned. "I'd rather not take a chance on that. Keep in mind, you're also telling me you're fine. Let's get you to bed, and you can be 'fine' there, where I can worry less about you."
"I'm fine here," Josh protested lamely. Seabay really was worrying too much. He could go to bed. Josh'd be fine where he was. Mostly. Besides, Marta was probably in need of some of this attention Seb was wasting on him.
"I refuse to have to come back and drag your sorry butt along the floor to the bed later," Seabay stated firmly, poking Josh's good arm with a thin finger. "Don't make me poke you..."
Josh flinched. He didn't like to be touched. He REALLY didn't like to be poked.
The blind teen smirked at the reaction he felt under his finger. "Hey, I can be a pain in the butt if I want to, too. You. Bed. Then we're done. Easy, huh?"
"Soon," Josh sighed. "You go ahead." In truth, he was a little put off by Seb's insistence. Nobody did this. Most people just accepted it and walked away when he said he was fine. Why didn't he?
"'Soon' is three to four days," Seabay grumbled, poking again. "Besides, if I go ahead and have to come /back/ to help you, trust me, I'll be in a mood fit to kick you towards the bed rather than support you. Let's get it over with."
Josh made a soft sound something akin to a growl in protest. He really REALLY didn't like being poked. Realizing, though, that Seb was serious, he admitted. "Can't... not yet..."
The blind teen merely folded his arms across his chest and waggled his finger in threat of more poking. "And why not?" he asked.
"Room..." Josh began, not sure how to explain. Nobody usually expected him to. "Moves..." he finally settled on at last.
Seabay looked thoughtful a moment, then nodded. "Yeah... so? That's where the whole 'you can lean on me' part comes in, and why I'm involved in this. Marta can't do it, after all, and Zack and Lia are gone. So, it's up to me to help you get there in one piece."
Josh shook his head. "Too heavy," he sighed. "You'll get hurt." Realizing, though, that Seb wasn't about to give up, Josh considered whether or not he could make it there on his own. Raising his head again, he blinked heavily against the blackness and made to stand, weaving dangerously on his feet.
"I'll manage. And if I'm hurt, it won't be new--I've managed with pain for most of the time since I was..." The blind teen trailed off, making a face. "Anyway, then you can help me out tomorrow, if that happens. So even trade." Hearing Josh trying to stand, he moved to catch his good arm and support it, tucking his guide-rod under his other elbow for later. "You're up--let's try it."
Josh's eyes tried rolling back, his body nearly going limp. He stepped back, leaning against the wall, trying hard to hold onto some part of consciousness, at least until he reached the bed. No way was Seabay picking him up off of this floor. "Wait..." he whispered after a moment, blinking heavily but refusing to sink to the floor.
Seabay staggered, bracing his feet to help keep them both up. "C'mon--let's be quick about it...! This way, if you're going to fall, okay?" Good thing he recalled where the nearest bed was... for the most part.
Josh took three stumbling steps in the direction Seabay led before going completely limp.
Seabay dropped his guide-rod, but managed to make sure Josh landed on the bed for the most part, though his legs were still hanging off it. With a groan the blind teen crouched to scoop them onto the bed as well. Then he pushed and pulled Josh to get him in a more-or-less straight supine position, and squeeze a pillow under his head, another under his bad arm. Sitting on the side of the bed, Seabay wriggled Josh's shoes off, then loosened the other teen's pants and shirt, before poking around for a blanket to toss over him. Finally, the blind teen straightened with a groan. "Ugh... Maybe I /will/ feel this tomorrow."
Josh groaned and shifted slightly, but found himself unable to open his eyes again. Whispering a nearly inaudible, "Thanks..." he finally stopped fighting and let the darkness win this round.
Done getting his "brother" settled, Seb took a deep breath, gathered what energy remained him, and heavily went to his knees... to hunt his guide-rod on the floor. He needed the damn thing. A bit of crawling about and his hand finally closed on it. Using the bed to help he levered back to his feet, wincing. His slashed leg was burning hotly, and both his legs were protesting every bit of this fiercely. "No problem," he murmured through gritted teeth. Then he set out for his own bed...
...with a short detour for the tinned meat for Marta. They needed it. He was sure he'd be stuck in bed a bit, too.
A short bit later, having taken Kait's meds, Seabay was pouring the contents of a tin down his own throat, barely tasting it, before rolling up in a blanket and huddling against Marta's side, waiting for the pain to fade enough to sleep.

"I would rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Plus too many times during military excursions, things went bad and I didn't have the resources I needed. Another thing is, I don't know the area and therefore I don't trust it. I've seen the mutant things lurking around the lands..." He trailed off for a moment and got lost in thought.
A few moments later he snapped back to reality. "Sorry about that. Anyways, I have some backpacks--should we find anything useful out there, we can bring it back with us. Let's head out," Shawn said, locking his door after they all exited.

Lia glanced at Zack, uneasiness rising. Really, if Shawn planned on going that far from what was considered safe, the two of them shouldn't be following. They were /teens/, and not outfitted or trained for war. If it came to a fight, Shawn would probably have his hands full trying to save them.
She was about to verbalize that she wasn't going, that she was just going back to the room and wait with Sebastian and Josh, but Shawn had already taken off ahead of them, obviously chomping at the bit to get out there.

Valuable Plumbing Information For Any Home Owner
If your plumbing is giving you issues and problems, then it is advisable to be certain you are approaching the situation in the most optimum way. The information provided in this article will give you the ability to arrive at the proper solution for your plumbing situation.
If you have noisy pipes that sound like hammering or squeaking, this is something that is easy to fix. Anchoring exposed pipes will decrease the amount of noise your plumbing system makes. You may need the assistance of a professional in the case that the pipes are contained within a floor or ceiling.
Do not give a plumber the entire payment for a job until the whole job is completed. Sometimes it is required to put a little money down before the job starts, but don't ever pay the whole amount before you know the task is done correctly. If you pay everything up front, you have no recourse if the plumber doesn't finish the job or doesn't do it correctly.
If your toilet happens to be clogged, and the plunger is not working, you can pour a bucket of hot water down the toilet, but be sure to pour it from a height that is waist level or above so you do not flood the bathroom. This procedure can be repeated if the water level again returns to a level that is too low.
Check your floors for softness around toilets, so that you can ascertain if there is any floor damage. Straddle your toilet and gently rock foot to foot to see if your floor feels a little weak or soft. This will save you a lot of trouble and money if you find the issue before something horrible happens.
Do not pour grease or other oils in your sink or down your drain. These substances will clog the drain as they cool and harden. Grease is of particular concern when there is a disposal unit installed in your drain. It can cause the unit to lose efficiency. Pour the grease and oil into a can to cool, put it in the trash.
Iron will cause orange or pink stains in and on your fixtures if you have a well. A water softener can cure this problem and can be installed by you, or you may opt to have a professional to come and install it for you.
Garbage Disposal
Keep the garbage disposal clean to make sure it will last as many years as your house does. Using lemon rinds and cherry pits mixed with dish soap will help keep your garbage disposal operating efficiently and smelling fresh.
Save money by getting better shower heads. Most of our hot water is used in the shower. You can save up to a few hundred dollars a year by simply installing shower heads that are energy efficient.
If you are set to handle your plumbing problems, be sure to use the tips in this article to guide you. You must make sure you get the right information so you can find the best people for the job, or if you prefer to handle it on your own so you can save a lot of money. Treat this advice seriously.
The more you know about home improvement, the better the expert you will become. The information that you've found out will make things easier. Just take your time and keep learning.

Defining the New State of Recovery
Posted in
(Don Foster is a Senior Director, Product Management for Commvault)
I'm going to say something out loud that will most likely make most shudder: No one cares about backup. What we all really care about is being able to recover our data in the event that we have to. And with the increasing amount of data, as well as tighter deadlines and more accountability, the recovery side of the equation is more complex than ever. Speed and availability are crucial in this 'always on' world.
Taking too long to recover data can negatively affect your business in a number of ways, from productivity to legal risk, both of which are very costly. Even if your organization diligently performs its backups every day that could still leave almost a day's worth of data to recover should there be a problem. And what happens with a massive data loss that can total terabytes of data? That could take days to recover from.
Instead, consider using block-level methods with orchestrated recovery across backup data with Incremental Change Capture that dramatically reduces workload impact during data protection operations. Incremental Change Capture also provides downstream efficiencies in network and storage utilization by reading and moving only the delta blocks, and storing only the unique changed blocks.
The benefits of Incremental Change Capture are:
- Not having to perform full backups results in lower impact on the business – as much as 90 percent less impact, compared with streaming backup.
- The workload computing capacity typically required for backup is instead available to the needs of the business.
- An hourly recovery point minimizes risk by reducing RPO should a failure actually occur.
- A single copy of the data can be used for multiple purposes greatly reducing the amount of space required to store data.
- Most important, recovery can be almost instantaneous because it doesn't need to be restored first. In fact, because data is stored in an open format rather than in a proprietary format, data recovery can be as much as three to 10 times faster.
In an ideal world, we'd never have to worry about recovery but with natural disasters, outages, malicious attacks and legal matter, to just name a few, your success depends on being able to recover your company's data when the occasion presents itself. Will you be able to?

Builders Bait Apartment Buyers With Bocce Ball
A number of upscale apartment and condo developments are luring renters and buyers with bocce courts.
When Italian immigrants brought bocce ball to the U.S., the sport was so ingrained into their community that New York's first Italian-American mayor, Fiorello La Guardia, ordered public bocce courts to be created in his East Harlem neighborhood, according to New York City's tourism website. But these days, bocce crosses ethnic, gender and age lines.
A number of upscale apartment and condo developments are luring renters and buyers with bocce courts—an amenity promoted along with fire pits, swimming pools and fitness centers. A proper bocce court needs to be flat and level, with dimensions from 8- to 14-feet wide and 60- to 91-feet long. To add excitement to the game, bocce-set designers are creating balls made from recycled wood, balls coated in lacquer and even LED-lighted balls.
Here is a sampling of developments that sport bocce courts.
All Access Bocce
Atmark Apartments in Cambridge, Mass., have poolside cabanas, a glass-enclosed 'sky lounge' and a regulation-size bocce court, with the proper graded stone, curbing and drainage that the United States Bocce Federation requires. The court is also fully handicapped accessible. The developers, O'Connor Capital Partners, decided to include it in homage to the nearby Bertucci's restaurant, a Boston institution that originally included a bocce court. Other amenities include electric car-charging stations and bike storage.
Cost: $2,052 to $3,536 monthly rent
Game On
50 North 5th sits in Brooklyn's uber-hip Williamsburg neighborhood and offers 15,000 square feet of amenities. Its courtyard, where the bocce court is located, is a multilevel landscaped space with lounge seats and a waterfall. The building also includes a landscaped roof deck, with a sun deck barbecues and dining areas. When games get heated, residents can use the building's outdoor rooftop showers.
Cost: Starting at $3,295 a month for one-bedroom units and $4,535 for two bedrooms
Plenty of Amenities
In San Francisco, the apartment complex Avalon at Mission Bay North includes a bocce court, as well as loaner bikes (and bicycle storage), a climbing wall, barbecue areas, and, in the penthouse, a private courtyard with outdoor fireplaces and an outdoor movie theater. A spa and fitness center are on site.
Cost: Studios start at $2,730 a month
Courtyard Sport
345 Carroll Street, a full-service doorman building under construction in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens neighborhood, will include a 6,000-square-foot courtyard. The bocce court is one of several outdoor lures that also include a resident vegetable garden and dog-washing area. The nearby neighborhood of Carroll Gardens was for years predominantly Italian-American, and the bocce court was included as a way to both recall that heritage and engage the community spirit, says 345 Carroll's director of sales Millie Perry.
Cost: Two-bedroom apartments start at $1.2 million.

Mel Gibson has turned into some kind of magician. I say this because he's done a handful of incredible and somewhat inexplicable things with his latest movie, Hacksaw Ridge. It's the true story of WWII Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the battle of Okinawa. Doss was a Conscientious Objector who refused to use a weapon, but he was still awarded the Medal of Honor.
This is Gibson's first time back in the Director's Chair since 2006's Apocalypto. His comfort level though, virtually erases that ten-year absence. It's one of the first surprises offered up by Hacksaw Ridge, which opens to a horrific battle scene. Imagine the gore of Braveheart, but with the intensity and explosions of Saving Private Ryan. Gibson wastes no time introducing the horrors of war, where the Medic Doss is trying desperately to save his men. Continue reading →

As the availability of smartwatches advances, small round touch- screens are increasingly used. Until recently, round touchscreens were rather uncommon, and so most current user interfaces for small round touchscreens are still based on rectangular interface designs. To overcome this issue for list interfaces, we introduce CircularSelection. read more
In recent years, mid-air gestures have become a feasible input modality for controlling and manipulating digital content. In case of controlling TVs, mid-air gestures eliminate the need to hold remote controls. However, the absence of a single controller and the nature of mid-air gesture detection also poses a disadvantage: gestures preformed by multiple watchers may result in conflicts. read more

Ali is counting on the 'psych' weapon
There is no logical reason why Muhammad Ali should beat Larry Holmes for the World Boxing Council's heavyweight title here tomorrow. Since he won the title from Ken Norton here two years ago, Holmes, unbeaten in his 35 professional bouts, has been beyond much doubt the best heavyweight in the world.
Ali, nearly eight years his senior has not boxed at all for two years and has met nobody of world class since he too beat Norton in September 1976. It is only sentiment that demands that he should not end his legendary career with a bad defeat.
Yet the gamblers' here, not known for sentimental qualities, have been cautious about wagering on the defending champion. Yesterday Ali, who has been beaten three times in…

"I was overwhelmed at the thought of cleaning my home and getting it ready to sell: I just didn't know where to start. I can't believe what Lance & Mandi were able to clean and repair in
just a matter of days! Without their help, I would have been working on the place for months."
Joy Robinson
Gulf Shores Home Owner
Thanks Lance for the excellent plumbing work! I appreciate it!"
Rick Shade
Silverhill, Alabama
"After living in the same house for 47 years, my house was in need of many repairs. My husband had passed away 4 years ago and I had just let the place go. I realized it was time for me to take it back. Lance and Mandi are a professional couple and they cleaned my home inside and out, organized it , and did a little remodel work. We even had a tent sale to get rid of excess things that had collected over the years that helped fund the project. You will really be happy with anything they do for you."
Sally Davenport
Daphne Home Owner
"I have used various construction & energy services from Green Coast Living at our two homes on Fish River. One of the best improvements to our home was last year when GCL performed an energy audit using their training and experience. Lance was able to identify multiple aspects of our energy loss that we could immediately improve on. Under Lance's direction and expertise we were able to reduce our homes energy consumption by about 30%! We continue to consult with Lance and use Green Coast Living every time we need anything on our homes because he is very knowledgeable and they are very professional."
Gerri Cain
Fairhope Home and Business Owner
"We used Lance Lamb from Green Coast Living a few months ago for our roof. This is the third time I've had to bring someone in to try and fix an ongoing leak. We couldn't even get insurance renewed on our home with this leak problem that no one could fix.
Lance fixed it the first time and under budget!
We've had several rain storms since and I'm extremely pleased to say that not one drop has reached inside and that the insurance inspector loved it. Lance Lamb is very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone."
Karin Wilson
President, Paige & Palette, Fairhope

Eric Young

The job took exactly as long time as we were promised and Lance went above and beyond of what was asked from him. We were very impressed with his professional attitude, attention to detail, flexibility and honesty!
GCL is a real gem among construction companies. We sincerely recommend them for any job you need done. Whether the job is big or small, we have absolutely no doubt that it will be done in the same professional manner as our house renovation."

Tim and Sharon Vogt
Fairhope Home Owners
"I am the corporate manager of Alaska Commercial Construction LLC, a leader in Fairbanks, Alaska. I
have had the opportunity and privilege to tour several of the projects Lance was contracted to build. Being in the industry myself it was noteworthy that on each project I toured, although in different
stages of construction they all had several things in common; (1) The construction site was kept
clean, (2) The structures appeared complete, meaning it was apparent in some of the materials and methods used that corners were not being cut to save a buck, and (3) The finished product was immaculate, it was noticeable that extra attention was given to the details.
From what I have seen I have no doubt that anyone who enters into a contract with Lance will be
more than pleased with the finished product as well the process along the way. In an industry that is
only about making
the biggest buck for the least amount of effort I believe Lance breaks the mold, in both his product and the value he puts on the relationships he develops along the way."
David W. Schroeder
Corporate Manager, Alaska Commercial Construction, Inc.
"Lance excels in various aspects of business and construction. Mr. Lamb is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a quality product. He is experienced in material take-off(s) and the implementation of a scope of work. His mild manner will prove to be beneficial in dealing with varying personalities & even everal projects can be maintained by him at the same time."
Micah Aafedt
President, Diamond Consulting and Contracting.
"As president of Blind Monkey Design, an architectural design company, I am pleased to recommend to you my esteemed business associate Lance Lamb. My company produces designs, construction drawings, engineering, & Permitting services for a wide variety of residential and commercial projects.
Over the years I have watched Lance manage building production teams with ease. His ability to lead his team from beginning to end was inspiring. His positive and professional business and personal ethics were a major factor in the continued growth of my company as well as many other companies.
I would without reservation recommend Lance. "
Martha Lee
President, Blind Monkey Design
We have had several opportunities to work with Lance over the last few years. As a hired contractor he designed and built landscape architecture that not only was beautiful to look at, but functional as well. His quality of craftsmanship is second to none. Though the projects he completed or us at NatureScape Landscaping didn't truly showcase his talents he always brought the same amount of creativity and quality to every job. A few years ago I started my own landscape management company and have had the privilege of working with and for Lance at Green Coast Living. I enjoy working with Lance not only because of his commitment to quality, but his integrity and honesty are qualities that are hard to find in business today. We have found Lance to be not only knowledgeable of readily accepted means of construction and remodeling, but also an avid researcher of the latest and newest advancements in "Green" living.It is our hope at BlueWater Landscape by continuing to partner ourselves with people like Lance that we continue to provide the best possible services to our clients."
Gene Montecchie
Owner, BlueWater Landscape, Daphne, Alabama
"We had a raised patio constructed and we are very satisfied with the work performed by Green Coast Living.
Lance fully explained all elements of the job during the planning phase and completed the job on time. Additionally, all work was done in a manner that was non-invasive to the yard plantings."

Who Will Spread the Hate?
Who will help those of us who monitor hate from becoming as lonely and irrelevant as the Maytag repairman during this holiday season of good will and recognition of ubiquitous tolerance pushers like Nelson Mandela and newly selected Person of the Year, Pope Francis?
It has to be Tila "I'm not an anti-Semite" Tequila! You remember her, right? The 32-year-old model and accomplished singer whose vast media credits include the now-requisite celebrity "unauthorized" sex tape, the Emmy-robbed television show Robot Chicken, the enduring love songs "Stripper Friends" and "I F--ked the DJ", and Bravo TV's drama queen award is at it again.
What do faded C-list celebrities with interesting looks do when they become properly irrelevant?
Well, after a suicide attempt, rehab and domestic violence coverage, the inventive ones post bizarre videos and blogs glorifying Hitler and blaming criminal Jewish conspiracies for 9/11 and lots of other lousy things with the world. As we all now know thanks to Tila, Hitler was a prophet who got the shaft from a biased media, who also censored her: "Jewbook [Facebook] bans me constantly for nothing." And of course, nothing says SEXY better than a poster of a scantily clad woman in Nazi garb standing outside of what appears to be a Photoshopped concentration camp. That is the world of Tila Tequila on the web today. Other images on her website include Hitler speech videos -- including one in color!, and media-repressed tidbits, just in case you didn't know, like, "Hitler was also a Vegetarian and HUGE animal lover... what a monster!"
Hitler, Just A Misunderstood Vegetarian Animal Lover Who Dug Kids
In her article, "Why I Sympathize With Hitler, Part 1", she finally sums up the real courageous truth that resonates so well with other racist dunderheads (some who'll post below) about the Holocaust:
I understand the Jewish people went through some shit too, but hey guess what?? SO DID THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED IN EVERY SINGLE WAR THAT TOOK PLACE! You were NOT the only ones! So please, if the rest of us can forgive and forget maybe it's time you do also!!!
And while we are at it, on a day where the hopelessly biased media eulogizes Mandela and names pacifist humanitarian Pope Francis Man of the Year, Tila the truth-teller sets us straight about her real hero:
[t]elling Hitler's side of the story and why my change of heart for him and my sympathy and compassion. When I woke up to the truth in this world filled with lies, and dug a little deeper into the true stories behind what really happened during WWII it just brought me to tears. It brought me to tears because here was a so called "MONSTER" that I used to hate. Why? Because the media told me to hate him. Because I watched a million movies about what a devil he was and all of the horrible things he did. It brought me to tears because I used to think all of those horrible things about him until I learned the truth about the war and what Hitler truly did and he was not a bad person as they have painted him out to be. Not even close!!! I cry because my heart feels ..... broken. Here is a man who was not a coward, stood up for his country in a DESPERATE TIME OF NEED (unlike all of our cowardly leaders), and yet not only did he try his best to help his country and people get out of what was a time of depression, economic collapse, high unemployment, amongst many other things... he lost the war AND was painted out to be a monster after his death. This is what breaks my heart. Especially now that I know the truth. I am a warrior of truth and anyone who is about corruption is my enemy. Simple as that.
Jews Behind 9/11 and the Videos To Prove It!
After laying out the bad things Jews did before, in another posting she promotes anti-Jewish conspiracies behind the 9/11 attacks, complete with media repressed videos, and a graphic of Bernie Maddoff projecting red laser imposed Stars of Davids on a collapsing World Trade Center, finally for all to see:
If you are reading on this website, you are probably already aware that the official story behind 9/11 is absolute garbage. But don't take my word for it, take internationally recognized experts from all sorts of fields who spend all day talking about how the story told to the world is crap opinions.... It is sad that many won't accept this last red pill, especially if you are a member of the Abrahamic tradition.
She ends the piece with videos promoting Jews as the true 9/11 culprits and warns, "Just remember this: once you know the quality of the enemy and their numbers, as well as you have allies, the enemy is not that scary for the Jews fear the Samurai."
Run, Tila, Run (But Not For President)
My favorite part of her postings was how she may shake up the 2016 presidential race: "ONLY WE CAN SAVE OURSELVES NOW OR BRING IN A NEW LEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should just run for office for f--ks sake!"*
Rumors that the mayor of Toronto may offer an endorsement appear unfounded at this time.
Just as us hate monitors were going to kick back with a new Netflix account and a mug of hot cocoa Tila gives us the gift of hate, the one gift that keeps on giving.
*Tila's age and birth outside the United States makes her ineligible for the presidency.

Savvy Use of Social Media
#3 - Pay to Play. Some social media platforms are now charging for extensive commercial use. Social media platforms want marketers to consider paid distribution 'to maximize delivery' of their messages. Many marketers now pay to have a post from their page appear higher in their audiences' news feeds. These are called boosted posts. All businesses should accept this change despite any misgivings because the platforms can be great marketing tools for relatively little and because fees are here to stay. In every other regard, the only constant in social media is change. To benefit fully from its use, small businesses must adjust to the ever-changing landscape.

#2 - Get Visual. One of the most significant trends is the growing emphasis on the visual aspect of posts. On every social network, the dominant features are images and videos. Visuals are the best performing features on Facebook right now. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth even more.

Savvy use of Social Media
Here are a few tactics that you can use in your business, too.
#1 - Choose quality over quantity. Big businesses can be active on many networks. Small businesses and entrepreneurs don't have the time nor the resources to do that. Rather than trying to make your mark on too many networks, it is suggested to focus on one or two platforms - and to select them by considering the purpose of each platform and determining whether its attributes relate to your business needs. Owners should also determine what target audience the platform serves and how time-consuming it would be to manage. If you would like to increase your media presence but just don't have time or maybe you are not media savvy and don't know where to start, then it would be a worth while decision to invest in hiring a Virtual Assistant that is capable of creating a Facebook page for your business, post tweets on Twitter or perhaps create a business presence for you on Google +, Pintrest or other social media platforms. Give you business a boost and see your sales increase, contact Presto Virtual today.

Preschool triangle worksheets, interactive and printable. Triangle shape recognition worksheets for children ages 3-5
After you and your child have worked through these kindergarten shape worksheets, your child will be able to both recognize a triangle and to draw a triangle.
Children are probably more used to 3D objects rather than flat shapes. Study various objects around the home or outside and point out the shapes in an object to your child.
Work through the exercises below with your child and have fun.
Below are a number of objects and shapes. With your child, count the number of triangles on each line and enter the number into the box. Remember to count both the outer and inner triangles. The final question is a bit tricky!
Print out the worksheet on the left hand side.
Ask your child to practise drawing a triangle. Ensure that it is drawn in an anti-clockwise direction.
Next, there is some decorative bunting. Ask your child to identify the triangles and to color them in yellow using a sharp pencil.
Lastly, ask your child to draw a roof over each of the three towers on the castle in the shape of a triangle.

This article only applies to Squared Up Version 2.0. If you're looking for help with Squared Up Version 3.0, please visit our new knowledge base
Who can log on to Squared Up?
Squared Up adheres to SCOM Role Based Access Control (RBAC), meaning any SCOM user can log on to Squared Up with their normal windows logon and password. For you this will be your SCOM admin account, but users with other roles - such as Read-Only Operator, Operator, Advanced Operator and Author - may also log on to Squared Up.
To see which users have which SCOM user role, and to add users to a SCOM user role see How to check and edit SCOM User Roles
When you first log on to Squared Up to run through the Setup and configure the data warehouse connection you should log on as a user who is a SCOM Admin AND a SQL sysadmin user. See How to make a user a SQL sysadmin user
How does my Squared Up Licence affect how many users can log on? What are named users?
Whilst any SCOM user can log on to Squared Up, the number of users is restricted by the number of licences (Named Users) you have purchased from Squared Up. If for example you have purchased 10 licences, the first 10 users to log on will get entered into the users.xml file as Named Users and will consume licences accordingly. However, you can also edit the usernames in users.xml to specify which 10 users you wish to be able to logon to Squared Up. See Managing Named Users (Licensing)
While trialling Squared Up, the Evaluation licence provides you with unlimited logons (ie. users are not recorded or restricted by the users.xml file), but the users must still be SCOM users in order to authenticate.
Named Users Licences - Full-interactive use
Users who log on to the normal Squared Up URL http://<servername>/SquaredUp as a fully interactive user, are able to drill down to further information, edit company knowledge, respond to alerts etc, as much as their SCOM role allows, see below. These users will each consume one of the Named User licences that you have purchased.
How do SCOM roles and permissions affect what they can do in Squared Up?
Squared Up adheres to the role-based access control (RBAC) within SCOM. A SCOM user accessing Squared Up will automatically be restricted to only what their SCOM permissions / RBAC allows them to see. For more information see How do SCOM roles and permissions affect what they can do in Squared Up?
Editing Company Knowledge
You may want your Squared Up users (SCOM Operators or Advanced Operators) to be able to edit Company Knowledge without having to give them the full SCOM Authors role and, if so, please see How to allow SCOM Operators to edit Company Knowledge
Who can author Squared Up dashboards?
From a Squared Up licensing perspective, any user with a Named User licence has the ability to create / edit dashboards.
However, by default, only SCOM administrators are given permissions to manage dashboards in Squared Up.
If you do wish to extend this capability to non-administrators, dashboard designer permissions can be easily extended to other users. See How to give users permissions to create, edit and publish dashboards (dashboard designer permissions)
Static Non-Interactive Dashboards
Open Access
When publishing a dashboard simply tick 'enable open access' and both SCOM and non-SCOM users can have access to a static non-interactive image of the dashboard which updates every minute. The benefit of Open Access is that there is no need to set up an additional Squared Up instance, users are not prompted to login, it does not consume user licenses and it is highly scalable. You can choose to create an Open Access navigation bar or just give access to the randomised URL. For more information see Open Access Dashboards
Read-only access and Anonymous Access Server (superseded by Open Access)
Users who browse read-only dashboards do not consume a named user licence. When accessing read-only dashboards, users cannot click on anything to get more information or drilldown to the underlying data. Users can either log on and browse read-only URLS on your normal Squared Up server http://<servername>/SquaredUpv2/grid/readonly/, or you might have set up an anonymous access server, meaning that users don't need to log on in order to access read-only dashboards, i.e. http://<anonymous_access_server>/SquaredUpv2/grid/readonly/
Can the same user access Squared Up from more than one device?
A user can roam across devices, but cannot connect from more than one device simultaneously. A user can have Squared Up open in several browser tabs on the same device at the same time, but cannot access Squared Up from multiple different browsers at the same time.

Do you want to buy a home?
First Question is whether it is a good time to buy, and how much can you afford.
There's a lot to consider when you're thinking of purchasing a home. The most crucial problem to be tackled is whether or not it is a smart time to move based on your circumstances and your budget. We can review what is happening and give you great insight into whether this will be a good time for you to move. We do this by knowing the market, knowing what loan programs are available, and knowing fabulous lenders who can see if we can design a loan that will work for you. Usually, within an hour we can help you figure out what you can afford, what area to look at to get the best home for your circumstances, and then we can start to design a plan to find your next home.
Do you need help making sure you don't lose out on the great homes that go quickly?
Currently, there is limited inventory in our market, the great homes tend to move rather quickly. To avoid missing out on opportunities we provide instant notifications based on a search designed for your specific needs. If your dream home pops up and you travelling, we can absolutely do a preview for you so that you can get an inside perspective to determine if it's a good option for you.
Want to know if this is a smart buy?
When we work as your buyer's agent our job is to make sure that you get the best deal on the property. We also need to make sure that you are aware of any problems or issues that will cause concern when you are ready to sell that home. We are looking at the house as a potential sale for you, and we will give warnings about conditions that will cause concerns. Although you make the final decision, we will give you a heads up if we feel like this is not going to be a good investment.
Want to know how to make the best offer?
Our market, like all markets, has a particular etiquette in regard to offers. When you are ready to make an offer on a home we will provide you with detail about recent sales, customary allowances and even potential insight into the seller's motivation. You can use this information to craft a great offer and we will fight hard to get you what you want. We do this for a living, and we have a great reputation for strong negotiations, so you can rest assured that we will help you get what you need.
What happens after you have the contract?
The negotiation for the sales price is only the start of the home selling process. Now you need to determine whether the home has any hidden flaws. We will provide you with information about attorneys who will review the deed to make sure there's no problems with the title, with home and pest inspectors who will give you a rundown on the home itself, and finally we will work with the lender and the appraiser so that you are not experiencing any delays in closing. If you need any other recommendations for storage units, movers, cleaners, contractors, etc, we are a great resource for all of that.
What happens if there's problems with the timing of closing, or if the house isn't ready, etc?
Closings get delayed. Usually, the cause of the delay has to do with loan problems or it may be because you are buying a new property and the building isn't complete. As your agent our job is to keep up with your lender and the builders to make sure that everything is progressing on time.
In regard to builders, we can give you a good estimate of what to expect whenever you are looking at purchasing. We can review recent sales with other agents to see if these builders are meeting original deadlines, and take that into account to help you make scheduling decisions.
In regard to problems with the lending issues, we find that our recommended lenders rarely drop the ball, in the last 5 years we have only been delayed twice and both times it was because the buyer didn't get the paperwork to the lender on time.
Outside lenders frequently have delays though, we will give you a heads up about this at the beginning to warn you in case you are not ready for delays, and of course, we will be happy to provide recommendations for temporary housing, storage, and movers if you need these.
We are always here for you:
1. We help you sell your home if you decide to move!
2. Want to know how to improve the value of your home?
3. Want to know how much the house down the road sold for?
4. Want to know where you can find a good contractor to fix something?
5. Do you want to know whether it is a good idea to refinance your existing loan?
6. You want to repaint or add an addition, call us to learn how to do the work so that you get the best bang for your buck!
7. Are you interested in learning about how roads, businesses and/or school information will affect your home value?
8. Do you want to find an investment property?
9. Do you have a friend or family member who is thinking of moving and you want to make sure they're well cared for?

Top Buyer Tips: Business Notebooks
Important features to look out for when choosing the right notebook for work
With so many business notebooks claiming to offer exactly what you need, how do you know which one's the right fit? Here are some important features you need to consider that'll make that choice a whole lot easier.
Cybercriminals rule in today's world, which is why businesses need to step up their game and really investigate how to arm themselves against viruses, Trojans and malware. That's where a laptop with good security features comes in - one that not only fights the nasties but also protects data if your laptop is lost or stolen. After all, your business notebook contains all kinds of important and potentially sensitive information and keeping that information secure is not a trivial matter.
For those who rate security as their top concern, look at notebooks that come with an integrated fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, which can be used with standard passwords for added protection.
Some brands also offer hard drive encryption and a dedicated security suite so that you can limit access to sensitive material that's stored on your notebook. Remember to take backups regularly and you might want to consider software and services which can track stolen laptops and remotely disable them or wipe data.
Battery Life
With new models being introduced regularly, most good notebooks offer five or more hours of battery life before it needs to be recharged. Look out for the highest number cell battery and, if that's not enough, buy external batteries so you'll never be caught out.
If this is a big concern for you, the new HP Pavilion dm3 is powered by a standard 6-cell battery that offers no less than ten hours of continuous operating time and Dell's Latitude line is known for its long battery life using low power settings.
If you're a frequent flier and are constantly on the move for business reasons, having to lug a bulky device isn't an appealing prospect. But you know you don't have a choice because you're in a rush to finish a key report or presentation...
One of the most important factors for any business notebook is portability because it gives you the freedom of taking it with you anywhere.
Look for something that's small and light enough for you to use and carry with ease, but without compromising on performance. This will really come down to what you need to do with the device, and whether you're going to need functions like a DVD burner or a big screen, or whether you can substitute these for external drives, or projectors at client premises when you need them, saving you from carrying the weight when you don't.
Being able to access the internet and contact your employees or employers is an absolute necessity and cannot be ignored when choosing the right business notebook, including whether your device comes with an integrated webcam and microphone for communication ease.
WiFi connection is a standard on most good brands and is necessary when trying to connect to different public wireless networks at airports or hotels. It saves you spending money on an optional card, and also improves compatibility with other devices and reduces power consumption. Alternatively, notebooks with Mobile Broadband built-in, or an add-on GSM broadband dongle will give wider connectivity in countries where the service is available.
Will your notebook meet your performance demands? If you're hesitant about the answer, invest some time and effort to find out exactly what you need. Check out the notebook's RAM - the higher the RAM, the better it is for graphics and video. 1 and 2 GB RAM is quite common, but this can go up to 4GB for certain models. The new Windows 7 is said to work even on 1GB so you probably don't need to splurge too much for more..
Multi-core processors is what you need so functions like streaming video or writing a DVD for presentations can happen seamlessly - a single-core processor can easily buckle under a heavy load.
Most good business notebooks will come with plenty of storage space, usually with 60 to 80 GB hard drives. External hard drives can be purchased if needed or consider a notebook that allows expansion of your internal notebook hard drive.
This is quite an important factor that often gets overlooked. After investing time and money on your laptop to be by your side, you don't want it to be damaged beyond repair if you've dropped it accidently. Even if you've got a backup of your work handy, it's still inconvenient to wait all that time for it to be repaired or replaced. This is precisely why you should look out for the overall build quality of the notebook you're planning to buy. Also, look out for things like whether swappable drives are held securely in place.
Some brands like IBM and Dell have designed a protection system so that your hard drive remains protected from accidental falls and spills. Take the time to ask vendors about the features in place to save you worrying in the long run.

Squeaky wheels, my dearies
Remember Scott the dick from Enterprise car rental in Hazleton, PA? Turns out Enterprise does a follow-up satisfaction survey. A judicious and calm explanation of my disappointments has yielded me a weekend special rental of pretty much any car I want for the cost of a tank of gas. Where should I go?

Darkness Falls
Just a note, this was written before Thor 2 came out.
Where once was light, now darkness falls. Where once was love, love is no more.
Although his face was wiped of emotion, Loki's heart writhed in pain. It seemed so long ago that he and Thor were carefree children, carelessly running through the halls of Asgard. It seemed so long ago the he felt loved by his parents and brother- No. They were no more related to him than he was to Tony Stark.
Over the span of his immortal life, the god of mischief and deceit had fallen from grace. His life in the light of Asgard was dimmed by Thor's overpowering shadow, by his annoying arrogance. No one ever cared for green-eyed Loki, the outcast god, the undesirable, the Jotun.
Don't say goodbye, don't say I didn't try.
Everything Loki had ever done, subconsciously or not, was to gain approval from the Allfather. He had excelled in his studies and his magic, surpassing Thor with ease in the hopes that Odin would say, "Well done, my son." But Odin didn't want a child with astounding intelligence and fantastic magical abilities, he wanted a child with more brawn than brains. He wanted Thor instead.
These tears we cry are falling rain for all the lies you told us, the hurt, the blame.
"So why did he lie?"
"He kept the truth form you so that you would never feel different."
But I did feel different, Loki realized. He had always felt different, acted different, thought different. The Asgardians had always sensed that Loki was different and didn't bother to hide their disdain.
"No. You took me for a purpose. What was it?... Tell me!"
"I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Bring about an alliance, bring about a permanent peace through you. But those plans no longer matter."
Loki felt as though he had been stabbed in the stomach at the mere memory of Odin's words. To be used as a political toy by the mad he once called "father" genuinely hurt him; it tore at his soul and hardened his heart. Everything he'd done to please Odin had been in vain.
Not even my true father loved me, Loki thought bitterly. Am I not wanted by anyone?
And we will weep to be so alone. We are lost, we can never go home.
"So I am no more than another stolen relic locked up here until you might make use of me?"
Things could never be the way they were before the battle on Jotunheim. Loki could never again be the quiet, intelligent son of Odin. Now he was the son of a monster, the bastard son of his enemy.
So in the end I'll be what I will be. No loyal friend was ever there for me.
Alone. Alone and lost and hated. That's all he was, all he could hope for because who could ever love a monster like him? He had tried, and very nearly succeeded, in killing off his own disgusting race, tried to murder the man he once called brother, killed countless innocent mortals; he couldn't go back now, he was already past the point of no return.
Now we say goodbye, we say you didn't try. These tears you cry have come too late. Take back the lies, the hurt, the blame.
"You give up the Tesseract, you give up this poisonous dream! You come home!"
For a brief moment, Loki had considered Thor's offer. I could go home, back to mother and we could be a family again, the god pondered. I could be a prince again- Only I can't. The Other would find me, torture me, kill me, destroy everything in his path.
And so Loki decided: he would not give up his fight to subjugate the earth, he would not stop fighting for some shred of sanity, of love, of hope. He would become Midgard's king and prove to the Allfather just how worthy he was of being Thor's equal.
You are lost, you can never go home. You are lost, you can never go home.
In case you wondering, the song is called "Gollum's Song" from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I just knew it was perfect for Loki.

Celina Industries continues to excel in all aspects of Agricultural equipment, most recently delving into the design and production of numerous styles of ventilation. It is with this in mind that Jamie Dues, Account Manager for Agriculture at Celina Industries, has undergone extensive training to become a certified Positive Pressure Tube Ventilation (PPTV) Consultant.
Consultant Training Requirements
Through seminars at the University of Wisconsin, she has studied all of the various aspects that affect proper ventilation systems. This includes air changes per hour, ventilation design variables, and the proper amounts of fresh air required for the barn contents. As a PPTV Consultant, Jamie is able to assess any agricultural installation for the proper ventilation apparatus, providing both personalized layouts and also providing sales of Ventilation Tubing that is the proper size for the space.
The Importance of Adequate Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is extremely important for the well-being of farm animals, especially when housing younger animals. Proper air flow is enough to decrease respiratory disease, minimizing any sort of draft on any livestock contained within. There are multiple factors when designing a ventilation tube, which can affect the design of the tube itself, variances present in the diameter of the tube holes and their location and spacing. The base ventilation systems – referring to the fans used to power ventilation – need to be taken into account. Fan sizes and speeds can affect the viability of various tube diameters.
PPTV Consultation (Jamie Dues) Background
Jamie came to Celina Industries in January of 2016. Agriculture has been in her pocket her whole life, growing up and working on a friend's family farm, showing horses and performing upkeep year-round. After high school, she studied to become a registered Veterinary Technician, working with both small and large animals. Jamie is one of only two PPTV Consultants in the tristate area, putting her in a unique position to serve the surrounding communities in a capacity that was, until very recently, inaccessible.
These years of experience in agriculture make Jamie Dues a sure fit for Celina's continued growth in the ventilation industry.
Learn more about Celina Industries and what we have to offer on our website: http://www.celinaindustries.com/ or contact Jamie directly at (419) 586-3610 ext 123.

ON AIR - Night Time Network
Southampton continued their good run of recent form as they defeated West Ham in Saturday's evening Premier League kick-off. Maya Yoshida's ninth-minute goal would prove to be the crucial score.
The victory is The Saints' fourth win in five games, and it sees them move within three points of fifth place. There was one disappointing area for Ronald Koeman as former Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama was sent off for a lunge on Dimitri Payet.
Southampton will look to continue their run against Swansea next week, while The Hammers will look to bounce back against Norwich.

In the world of volunteering there are so many ways to help. It can be as simple as picking up a piece of rubbish, to as complex as providing medical treatment. It can require years of training, or no training at all. Within Safe Families our volunteers are usually not social care professionals, they are simply people with big hearts who feel passionately about helping others. Many volunteers regret not having a professional background, feeling it would be an advantage when it comes to helping families but what the families we support often need is not a professional but a friend. And sometimes the "professional" in us needs to take a backseat and let the "friend" in us shine. One of our volunteers, Jeanette, tells us how she made the transition from professional to friend over some funky boots.
I have been a professional child care practitioner for over twenty-five years. However, when I became a Safe Families volunteer Family Friend, I was deeply and profoundly challenged. I thought about Jesus when he walked the earth, and how He became a friend to others. I longed to be a good friend but I felt like I was hiding behind a professional mask.
Keep healthy boundaries, be respectful, and build on a trusting relationship. Why had it been so easy for me to do as a professional, and yet so different as a volunteer, with a desire to make a connection to another human being based on love?
I felt vulnerable, and open to feelings of rejection, or that as Family Friend I might say the wrong thing, or the chemistry might not work between us.
On my third visit, the young mum asked if I could take her shopping. She had an operation two years previously, which resulted in her dying on the operating table. The medical team brought her back, then for a further twelve months she had to stay in a rehabilitation centre, to learn how to walk, talk, eat, and regain skills that so often we take for granted. She also lost weight, to the point she no longer had clothes that fit her properly.
This young woman felt she has been given a second chance to live and she has many goals and ambitions to fulfil. One of them is to wear bright clothing, bright coloured hair, to show the world and herself that she is a survivor.
Now I love fashion. I love bright clothes. You could say we are the perfect match for each other. As we entered the large fashion outlet, there was a 50% sale on. My young mother was excited to see she would be able to purchase many items. I stood beside this mother in the shop, giving her advice. I felt shy and she seemed a bit shy with me.
Then it happened – engagement! I saw a gorgeous pair of boots (in my view), and I told this young mother that I liked them, and they were half price. This young woman in a relaxed and less shy manner said, "Well, if you like the boots buy them". I said no, because this was her time. In a kind but firm manner, she told me not to be so daft. Then I saw her not as a lady needing support from me, but as an individual in her own right. I also saw her being herself and not hiding behind a mask of self-protection.
So, I tried on the boots, got excited, and allowed this young woman to join in my excitement. Then I saw a hat that went with the boots, and we both tried on hats, laughed and were excited together.
We began to talk in a less shy manner. I no longer felt boundaries, or that I was hiding behind a professional mask. We had become friends. It was a profound moment.
When I talk to volunteers I often hear them say they feel a little nervous, shy, or vulnerable. It is humbling and rewarding to be able to say through my experience that engagement will come simply through being "yourself".
I have discovered that my new friend and I are kindred spirits; we share many common interests, we love funky, not very sensible clothes, funny hats, and leopard-print boots. I no longer feel like the professional going in. I am a friend.
Thank you to all our volunteers for catching the vision of Safe Families and reaching out to so many families in your community! If you're not yet involved and out like to be, please fill out the enquiry form below and we'll be in touch to explain a bit more.

Jeopardy! category: CAVES (20-5-2015)
$1200 clue: To be legally called this blue cheese, it has to be aged in the Combalou Caves of southern France
The gist: If the Jeopardy! writers decided to raise Californian cows and sell Parmesan cheese, they could do so legally.Not so with Roquefort, because it's one of the relatively few Geographical Indications protected by U.S. law. That's because (broadly speaking) the term "Parmesan," although it derives from Parma, Italy, has come to refer to a generic type of cheese, while Roquefort – apparently – still carries the connotation of cheese that comes from that region of France. Don't ask me, I'm not a lawyer.
Anyway, Roquefort is a blue cheese made with sheep's milk that may, dubiously, date back to Roman times, as Pliny the Elder remarks about a strong "herbed cheese" from Gaul – which could really be anything. 13 centuries or so later, however, Charles VI of France granted, in a royal decree, that cheese coming from caves in the region of Roquefort could not be seized as payment of debt, since the locals had no wheat or wine, the poor guys, but were blessed with caves that produced a special cheese. Whether or not this cheese-from-Roquefort's-caves resembled anything like Roquefort today is unclear.
The reason Roquefort must come from Roquefort is that the bacteria that produces the cheese's blue veins and distinctive taste, P. roqueforti, grows in the caves' soil, although today the soil is grown in the lab which reduces the element of chance in its production. It's notable for the strong taste of butyric acid, also the compound principally responsible for the distinctive smell of human vomit. It is soft and crumbly, and is commonly described as "sweet," "smoky," and "salty." According to a bunch of cheese websites I consulted, it goes well with nuts and figs, and can be added to salad dressings, pizza, and pasta. Your mileage may vary.
The clue: If you know your cheese, you'll know this one: Roquefort is probably the best or second-best known blue cheese, up there with gorgonzola, which is, if you couldn't tell, Italian. You also know that it's legally protected, which could again be a hint, but probably only if you know cheese anyway.
In Jeopardy!: Roquefort shows up in 19 clues in the J!Archive (ten more than either gorgonzola or Stilton, a well-known English blue cheese). 13 say that it's blue, but only three say that it come from sheep's milk. Its epithet, the "king of cheeses," comes up in six. France comes up in eight, and caves in four. Really, this cheese has a lot going on, both flavour-wise and Jeopardy! wise. Remember it as a French cheese, but there are lots more of those.

GRPA – Monday, October 29th 6-11pm
Game #1 – Star Wars RPG Beta Playtest
Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
2-4 Players
GM – Mike O'Brien
It is a time of civil war. Throughout the galaxy, the outmanned and outgunned REBEL ALLIANCE battles the GALACTIC EMPIRE. The Rebels have scored their first victory, destroying the fearsome DEATH STAR. Despite the recent upheaval, the Galactic Civil War does not dominate the galaxy.
In the remote Outer Rim Territories, a band of smugglers and fringers work to escape debts owed to the ruthless gangster, Sinasu the Hutt. Summoned to the planet Tatooine, they are given a chance to loosen his grip by flying an unusual smuggling run. First, they must withstand the darkening underworld and the might of the Empire…
As many of you may have seen, Fantasy Flight Games has recently released the Open Beta Playtest for the forthcoming Star Wars: Edge of the Empire role-playing game. We have the first of the three planned stand-alone sourcebooks for FFG's vision of the Star Wars universe, and we want to share it with you ASAP. Gamescape is now officially announcing that we'll be demoing SW:EoE to any who are willing to participate.
Check out what FFG has to say about the game and how your role-playing experience and suggestions can be added to the final version of the new Star Wars RPG!
Game #2 – PFS# 2-25: You Only Die Twice (Tier 5-9)
Pathfinder Society
4-6 Players
GM – Joshua Archer
When a Pathfinder agent working in the famed Blakros Museum in Absalom falls victim to a terrible, ancient evil, it falls to the PCs to hunt down the released terror before it can retrieve a relic of the mad astronomer Ralzeros the Overwatched.
This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–9). Players may build characters according to the Pathfinder Society Play rules. I will have some ready-built characters for those who do not have their own. I will also assist those wishing to create PFS characters via email or on the forum. Find out more about Pathfinder Society here.
Game #3 – Watchers in the Sky
Trail of Cthulhu (Gumshoe)
3-5 Players
GM – Dale Horstman
Your friends cannot be trusted, your knowledge means nothing, and everything you hold dear turns to dust.
Abraham Kale stares out his window on St. Mary Bethlehem Hospital for the mentally ill. His gaze is transfixed across the rain drenched London street to the roof of the building opposite his window. There are at least thirty black avian forms the size of house cats poised on that roof all returning his gaze. They are birds to the casual observer, maybe crows or ravens. To Abraham, they are so much more. In his eyes, he can see the misshapen forms and unnatural gate of these creatures. He watches them constantly and feeds them when he can – primarily out of fear, because he knows they watch him back.
Trail of Cthulhu is a role-playing game of Lovecratian Horror based on Pelgrane Publishing's GUMESHOE system and the mythos developed by Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu game. The system is simple and easy to learn, so new players or veterans of the Chaosium system are welcome, as well as players who may already be familiar with Trail of Cthulhu. Trail of Cthulhu does contain some mature content, and would probably not be appropriate for younger players.
October GRPA Event: Monday, October 29th 6-11pm
Please call the store (415.457.8698) or (Email Us) to reserve a spot in any of the above games.

charming vintage prints
I discovered the company hprints doing a google search on Paul Iribe (an artist and interior designer well-known around 1920) and was sucked into this website for an hour ++. A stockpile of inspiration for anyone interested in illustration, type, fashion…or just some entertainment (like the big man floating in the water while smoking a cigar !). p.s. the average price for a print is $20: not bad!
