The mandate of Halifax Search & Rescue is to locate and rescue lost persons within our jurisdiction in the best possible condition. Our mission is to bring a lost subject home, under any circumstance, as quickly as possible.
"Halifax SAR is an incredible organization. You helped us feel relieved, safe, and assured us that making a 911 call was the right decision. Every step of the way people were there for us. We cannot thank you enough.
- K. Leblanc
"The majority of the public don't know the hard work that is put in by the Halifax Search and Rescue. The level of dedication and man hours put into every search is unbelievable. These volunteers are selfless and determined to find missing loved ones and return them home to their families. They search for missing people like they're searching for one of their own. I am forever grateful to these heroes and their tireless efforts."
- K. Campbell
Search, Rescue & Civil Emergencies
With more than 40 years of service, Halifax Search & Rescue has been involved in some of the largest ground search and rescue and civilian emergencies in North American history. Our team has also lead recovery efforts for large scale accidents including Swissair 111; assisted the Red Cross in 9/11 passenger diversion activity; participated in mass public evacuation for train derailments, floods, infrastructure damage, and fires; and provided transportation services during extreme weather events for hospital staff to and from locations.
As a volunteer organization, we provide an on-site and mobile, self-sufficient command structure capable of responding 24/7 in many contexts outside traditional wilderness search and rescue.
During a search and rescue operation, HSAR has the capacity to deploy a variety of resources depending on the situation. Our team operates with more than 150 active members, a dedicated K9-RCMP certified civilian search dog unit, and six response vehicles including command and logistics trucks, a small boat, ARGO, and several transportation vehicles.
We work with 22 other search and rescue teams in Nova Scotia, as well as every other emergency response team in the region to bring the lost person home, including the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Coast Guard, EMO, RCMP, Halifax Police, the Department of Natural Resources, Halifax Fire, and the Canadian Red Cross.
Halifax Search & Rescue is dedicated to training and has one of the most active volunteer SAR training schedules in the country. We offer five core module courses to our team members and schedule regular training—year round, day and night, and in all weather conditions—to keep our skills current.
HSAR also educates the public on a variety of topics, including map and compass navigation, GPS use and navigation, and woods safety. We offer public courses and programs throughout the year that focus on practical, hands-on learning. Team members also educate hundreds of children annually through the popular Hug-a-Tree program.
SAR Values
Halifax Search & Rescue bases all actions and decisions on professionalism and compassion for the lost subject, the team, and ourselves. We respect and care for one another both within and outside the SAR environment and apply integrity, accountability, effectiveness, and teamwork to all our volunteer efforts.

The World's Thinnest Mechanical Watch Is Now Available for Purchase
The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept watch was merely a prototype in 2018.
By Oren Hartov
Editor's Note: Watches & Wonders (formerly SIHH) has moved online and Baselworld 2020 is canceled, but that hasn't stopped watch brands large and small from debuting their new wares. Stay on top of this year's best new watch releases here.
Piaget is a company that decided upon a niche way back in 1957 and stuck to it: they makes the world's thinnest mechanical watches.
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept, which we reported on back at SIHH in 2018, became the world's thinnest watch at just 2mm, which includes the case. But back then it was just a concept watch and not ready for its time in the limelight as a serial production model. Well, all that has now changed.
Finally, at the end of a six-year R&D cycle, the AUC is ready for wearing. Piaget largely had to throw out the rulebook governing how a wristwatch is traditionally made in order to bring the Concept to fruition: the old multi-part construction including case back and case, movement, dial, hands and crystal was jettisoned in favor something significantly more sophisticated, svelte — and difficult to execute.
In the AUC, the case back functions doubly as the movement's mainplate. Constructed from a special cobalt-based alloy that's 2.3 times stronger than gold, it's very, very difficult to machine. The movement's wheels are just 0.12mm thick and the sapphire crystal an unreal 0.2mm thick. The mainspring barrel, despite having been entirely reengineered to sit on a single ceramic ball bearing, still provides the watch with 40 hours of power reserve.
Everything is, quite simply, an exercise in the utmost form of economy: The crown features a specially designed winding tool and sits perfectly flush with the watch's case. The dial, not being centered, requires a special winding stem. The watch case itself is only 0.12mm thick. The design required five different patents be registered — we could go on.
We'll go on. Incredibly, given Piaget's comfort with semi-bespoke watchmaking (their "Style Selector" was introduced at the brand's New York boutique over 50 years ago), you can completely customize your AUC. Choose the color of the bridge and dial, the finish of the hands and main plate, and pair it with a strap of your choice. There are more than 10,000 possible permutations of the AUC available.
Check out Piaget's site to lear more about this unbelievable watch — pricing is available upon request.

Afric McGlinchey
Selected Poems, by Vona Groarke, Gallery Press, €12.50, ISBN: 978-1852356675
This Selected volume reflects the development of Vona Groarke's poetic sensibility over a period of twenty years. The poems are drawn from her six previous collections, all published by Gallery Press: Shale (1994); Other People's Houses (1999); Flight (2002) (which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize in 2002 and won the Michael Hartnett award in 2003); Juniper Street (2006); and X (2014), which received a Poetry Society Recommendation.
A reviewer might observe that a particular poet is passionate, raw, visceral, working from the unconscious; another poet might be said to be intellectual, cool and refined. I would say that the adjective that best describes Groarke's work as a whole is transcendent. Even in the midst of a grief where "I find I cannot speak of love /or any of its wind-torn ghosts to you / who promised warm sheets and a candle, lit" she manages to leave the shadows behind, and to keep instead, the "remembered light" ("The Garden in Hindsight").
Groarke grew up on a farm in the Irish Midlands, so it is not surprising that her work closely observes the natural world. Yet, while it appears to focus on her own domestic and garden worlds, something about her aesthetic temperament reminds me of the title of Tania Hershman's debut chapbook, "Nothing Here is Wild, Everything is Open". Groarke's images appear to embody an intuitive knowledge of the unconscious, while her lyric language, with its particular powers of inflection, expresses a subtle intellectual discrimination. Fuse these with her remarkably consistent tone and you have the embodiment of her powers as a poet.
Perhaps what is most true of her work is the way she "keeps faith with the world", as Nick Laird has put it. Although she has responded to the 1916 Rising with a narrative poem here, called "Imperial Measure" (which focuses wittily on the sourcing and cooking of specific foods for the rebels) and includes another narrative, "The Game of Tennis in Irish History", set in 1873, Groarke's particular strength is in her attentiveness to human emotions. Her image-making is as painterly as the artist Vilhelm Hammershoi's portraits and landscapes, whose work she admires. Like the paintings, her poems conjure largely blues and whites and earth tones, reflecting an outward calm. But, subtly encoded in their geometry, light and shadow is a hidden turbulence caused by hinted-at losses. Many poems are marked by an ache and a delicacy that reminds me of the poetry of Jane Hirshfield:
…the way your breath on the back of my hand
had three things to say, and none of them got said.
These are poems that have been clearly distilled and, though quiet, they resonate with a smouldering fire. There is, of course, an added poignancy to a retrospective selection, where earlier poems gain a more luminous resonance:
I would have you lie down
on young heather,
all the years between us
pressed clean like sheets of linen …
"Love Songs" (from the collection Spindrift)
It is fascinating that poets ultimately write the same poems over and over. Key motifs unearth what are perhaps unconscious obsessions at the time of writing, although the gradual intrusion of self-consciousness is almost inevitable, particularly when choosing poems to represent your life's work in a Selected volume. Houses, for example, figure significantly in Groarke's work. The idea of house as womb (the beautiful cover features a nest) or house as self, become apparent: "I am floor-length curtains and bookcases, / rooms that listen nicely to each other" ("3"). She appears almost compelled to use the house as a symbol for so many aspects of her life:
I already know
That … I have been required to fly
over the history of my house …
While the house could be seen as a refuge (as well as a symbol of the self), the garden is a project that offers purpose and also marks the passage of time:
… the afternoon staked to two kinds of hour ...
"The Garden as Event"
Groarke's love for her garden and for the tending of that garden echoes her love for language, and the tending of language too. Her attention to le mot juste has been observed more than once. Although there is a thread of pure magical delight in some of her images, for the most part her work is stripped down: "I begin to learn / the simple thing", she writes in "Purism". (I did wonder what was wrong with the more appealing word "Purity". But of course she wanted the subtly different meaning. This is an example of her attention to, and precision with, words.)
A poet at an earlier stage in her career might seek to set off fireworks in her poems, but Vona Groarke is a seasoned poet, who has learned to listen, to wait, for the right words to arrive: " … the rain has too much glitter in it, yes" ("Purism").
Geometric shapes figure largely in this section: "my linear breath" ("Veneer"); "news falls in slanted beats" ("To Smithereens"); "arc of brilliance on the cloth" ("Athlones"); "A summer Saturday pitched / like a mansard roof" ("Just Exactly That Kind of Day"); "The night is required to fold itself up into squares that get smaller and smaller" ("3").
The symbol X, the striking title of her sixth collection, is both a negative symbol (suggesting "wrong" and "no") and affirmative and assertive (X meaning yes on a form, X marks the spot, the target, bull's eye). It suggests both the rational (mathematical) and the intuitive (emotive symbol of a kiss). There is its central holding point, and also four directions heading off to the four corners of the page, or universe. Like the X, Vona Groarke is a poet of paradox – both spontaneous, full of fire, and also almost Prufrock-like in her caution. One example is the way this hesitancy is contradicted by a predilection for the longer line, something I associate with a certainty, a rational groundedness, rather than the spontaneity of thought suggested by shorter lines. Brilliantly, she takes the very open-ended symbol of the X and explores its myriad possibilities, ultimately seeking to find, amid all the contrary impulses, her core:
so I may walk in the room
of my own breath
Perhaps in order to prevent herself shooting off, like a Cupid's arrow, into unknown territory, she confines the big abstracts to specific shapes and measurements: "squares of music"; "fractional slippage of love" ("Just exactly that kind of Day"); "square of light" ("The Garden as Event"). Time and space can also be elastic: "One minute is cavernous // compared to the next" she writes in "Ghost Poem". Or she does the opposite – in "Front Door", she reveals that the possibility of great magnitudes can be compressed into a small space: "The sky inside my head grows out / of a single cell of blue."
Such visual images and symbols are both concrete and abstract, intersecting her physical and cerebral worlds. Other motifs are the moon, hands, water, a lighthouse, a windmill, and also language and accents – aspects that identify an individual's roots. The clarity of language is balanced by subtlety; compelling recurring motifs are markers for what is left unsaid. It is the combination of all these elements that keeps the reader intrigued:
What leaves us trembling in an empty room
is not the swell of darkness in our hands …
Groarke is also capable of a wryness that leaves the reader guessing at undertones:
My mother has gone and bought herself a piglet
because none of us comes to visit anymore.
George has good manners and is clean in his ways:
he is courtly, thoughtful, easy to amuse …
When I tell him I'm glad he's there when I can't be,
he answers 'thank you' in a voice too like my own …
In her review of X in The Stinging Fly, Ailbhe Darcy queries Groarke's "intemperance" in bandying about such an enormous word as "love". Although there's no denying her sensuousness (in "Veneer", from the earlier collection "Flight", she imagines her tongue grazing "the whorl at the base of his neck"), I feel that Groarke's poetry is anything but intemperate. The X symbolises, for me, an attempt to contain that vast emotional realm, to prevent a spilling over into excesses of pain, loneliness, all the sorrow of a fractured relationship. These are not rhapsodic poems. Instead, there is a stoicism that ensures a life beyond loss:
Though there is only the road
and its sidelong songs
to mark time with you, walk on.
Trees talking shadow talk
will make no mention of you.
As she says in a poem from the collection Spindrift, written immediately before X:
Thistledown, fuchsia, flagstone floor:
this noun house
has the wherewithal
to sit out centuries …
"An Teach Tuí"
With characteristic humility, Vona Groarke is piercingly aware that her habit of staring long and deeply might cause her to annotate the trees forensically, but miss the wood:
and you look everywhere
but it's not to be found
until there it is
right in front of your eyes
and still you keep on looking.
"Just Exactly That Kind of Day"
Not everything in Groarke's poetry world is tangible. There is a strong presence of ghosts, for example. But they are welcome, helpful presences, who "gather / in their arms what light the house holds, / pooling it in doorways so none of us / will ever have to step out into the dark ..." ("3"). This is a collection brimming with such lyricism. In both tone and content, Groarke's poems are layered with sub-texts and juxtapositions. Her attention alights at times on the cosmos, infinity, and at others, on the bricks and mortar of her home: walls, windows, rooms. While the mood of the collection is one of solitude, it also explores the connection to all living things, in language that refracts our own experience, like light and shadow's dance. Beneath the weight of life's sorrows, her impulse for joy still stirs, nowhere more evident than in the wonderful "Pier", from the collection Spindrift, where, again, the word "open" appears:
And then let fly. Push wide,
tuck up your knees so the blue nets hold you,
wide-open, that extra beat. Gulp cloud;
fling a jet trail round your neck like feather boa,
toss every bone and sinew to the plunge …
This energy and momentum contrasts with an otherwise stopped-time sense of her emotional state. Yet, even here, there is a hesitancy. One senses that these are instructions to the self, urging herself to overcome the paralysis caused by fear (in this case, of the tide): "release your ankles from its coiled ropes". In "Going Out", again, the impression is that she is talking to herself as much as to her daughter, to whom the poem is dedicated:
Walk your walk through ten thousand doorways
so the music of you is one and the same as the music
of starlings and new moons and traffic lights and weirs …
Why did I choose to call her work transcendent? Because, in a collection of almost sublime purity – and yes, I mean that word – she moves from a youthful confidence inspired by love, to a state of "chassis" (as Tom MacIntyre might say), and finally to a point where she looks outward, away from the enclosing confines of the symbolic house. And her images perform the complex, layered work of transcendence, as in "High Notes", where the word "open" appears to be her new spur, to look both outwards and inwards; to be receptive, to write
for no one in particular,
written to be open, for the sake of openness,
this night and every budding night inside.
Afric McGlinchey's second collection, Ghost of the Fisher Cat (Salmon Poetry), has been nominated for the Forward Prize for Best Collection.

Pan's Labyrinth | DVD | (21/05/2007) from £3.68 | Saving you £11.50 (71.90%) | RRP £15.99
Innocence Has A Power Evil Cannot Imagine. Pan's Labyrinth is the story of a young girl that travels with her mother and adoptive father to a rural area up North in Spain 1944 - after Franco's victory. The girl lives in an imaginary world of her own creation and faces the real world with much chagrin. Post-war Fascist repression is at its height in rural Spain and the girl must come to terms with that through a fable of her own.
We Were Soldiers | DVD | (05/11/2007) from £4.09 | Saving you £8.90 (68.50%) | RRP £12.99
In a place soon to be known as 'The Valley of Death' in a small clearing called landing zone X-Ray Lt. Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) and 400 young troops all from an elite American combat division were surrounded by 2 000 North Vietnamese soldiers. The ensuing battle was one of the most savage in U.S. history...
Volver | DVD | (13/08/2007) from £4.57 | Saving you £10.00 (62.50%) | RRP £15.99
Spanish for "coming back," Volver is a return to the all-female format of All About My Mother. Unlike Pedro Almodóvar's previous two pictures, the story revolves around a group of women in Madrid and his native La Mancha. (The cast received a collective best actress award at Cannes.) Raimunda (a zaftig Penélope Cruz) is the engine powering this heartfelt, yet humorous vehicle. When husband Paco (Antonio de la Torre) is murdered, Raimunda makes like Mildred Pierce to deflect attention away from daughter Paula (Yohana Cobo). After telling everyone the lout has left, she struggles to conceal his body. The other women in her life all have secrets of their own. Her sister, Sole (Lola Dueñas), for instance, has taken in their mother, Irene (a sprightly Carmen Maura). Since Irene perished in a fire, is this person a ghost or simply a woman who looks like her? Then there's their childhood friend, Agustina (Blanca Portillo), who is desperate to find out why her mother disappeared after the blaze. Was she responsible? Almodóvar deftly blends the ghost story with the murder mystery in his tribute to the Italian neo-realist films of the 1950s. The resilient Raimunda is a throwback to the earthy heroines of Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani. The latter appears in Luchino Visconti's Bellissima, which shows up on Sole's television one night (thus confirming the link). If Almodóvar's 16th feature lacks the emotional punch of the more audacious Talk to Her, it's less heavy-handed than Bad Education and Cruz is a revelation. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Slumdog Millionaire | DVD | (01/06/2009) from £2.22 | Saving you £16.60 (83.00%) | RRP £19.99
Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this wildly energetic, Dickensian drama about the desultory life and times of an Indian boy whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance on his country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Jamal (played as a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother are orphaned as children, raising themselves in various slums and crime-ridden neighorhoods and falling in, for a while, with a monstrous gang exploiting children as beggars and prostitutes. Driven by his love for Latika (Freida Pinto), Jamal, while a teen, later goes on a journey to rescue her from the gang's clutches, only to lose her again to another oppressive fate as the lover of a notorious gangster. Running parallel with this dark yet irresistible adventure, told in flashback vignettes, is the almost inexplicable sight of Jamal winning every challenge on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," a strong showing that leads to a vicious police interrogation. As Jamal explains how he knows the answer to every question on the show as the result of harsh events in his knockabout life, the chaos of his existence gains shape, perspective and soulfulness. The film's violence is offset by a mesmerizing exotica shot and edited with a great whoosh of vitality. Boyle successfully sells the story's most unlikely elements with nods to literary and cinematic conventions that touch an audience's heart more than its head. --Tom Keogh Stills from Slumdog Millionaire (Click for larger image)

Tell No-One | DVD | (15/10/2007) from £4.25 | Saving you £15.50 (77.50%) | RRP £19.99
Relentless edge-of-your-seat suspense jaw-dropping high-octane action and a powerful love story combine in what has been hailed by many critics as the best film of the year.

Beaufort | Blu Ray | (01/02/2011) from £5.99 | Saving you £14.00 (70.00%) | RRP £19.99
Lebanon War veteran Joseph Cedar (CAMPFIRE) directs a harrowing, often haunting account of Israel's 2000 withdrawal from Lebanon and the Beaufort ('Good Fort') mountain fortress. Built by Crusaders in the 12th century, the fort was captured by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in 1982 at the start of the Lebanon War. Eighteen years later, increasing criticism at home and abroad has led to Israel's decision to withdraw completely from Lebanon. Charged with managing the fort's defence and its evacuation is 22-year-old commander Liraz Liberti (Oshri Cohen). Eager to lead but emotionally untested, Liraz must maintain his bare-bones troop's discipline between bouts of claustrophobic tedium and increasing harassment by Hezbollah mortar attacks. That tenuous balance threatens to unravel with the arrival of bomb-disposal specialist Ziv (Ohad Knoller), as well as an unexpectedly sophisticated Hezbollah strike that reveals the limits of Liraz's abilities. Director Cedar and co-screenwriter Ron Leshem (on whose novel the film is based) eschew political statements and side-taking to instead examine the complexities of individuals bound by duty to a seemingly lost cause. Affectingly acted and directed, BEAUFORT--winner of the Silver Bear at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival--acknowledges the futility of war without ever surrendering its humanity or sense of hope. The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

In SharePoint 2013 the creation and application of themes has been revamped with the intent of making it easier to use, as well as more powerful (now including optional fonts and images). The new concept added is the Composed Look, a combination of a master page, color scheme and optional fonts, as well as an image. Using the design manager even a non-technical end user could create a complete design package, ready to deploy. What's even better, you can mix and match parts, taking color scheme from one theme and the font from another, all from a web based wizard.
Although there is some material written already, much of it on Elio Struyf's blog, I still struggled to make the various code snippets I found work together. With this article on SharePoint theming I hope to add to the available documentation and examples, as well as giving a light tutorial on creating a composed look to be used with a custom master page which includes custom elements and CSS.
To use the examples I give in this article you need to have the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure (this in turn requires SharePoint Server, not Foundation) Site Collection feature activated, as well as the SharePoint Server Publishing Site feature.
Alternatively you can grab one from /_catalogs/theme/15/ on a running site. Rename it to your wishes and take a look inside. It's a pretty straight forward XML file, where each color is defined using hexadecimal. It does not handle RGB, and has an uncommon format for defining transparency. To create an 80% transparent black background (black is #000000) you would use CC000000. The two first characters define the transparency, the rest is a regular hexadecimal color.
Once you have your .spcolor edited to your liking, you'll want to check out its effects on a live page. The fastest way would be to upload the .spcolor file to /_catalogs/theme/15 library. After this, it should be available as a color scheme in the Design Manager.
Just like with the SPColor file, we can define our own fonts using the .spfont file type. It can be found in the same place as the .spcolor files on both hive and live sites. The XML is slightly more involved than the color scheme one, but far from complicated.
Looking at the existing font scheme files, you'll see that it contains a list of fontSlots, where each fontSlot is given a name. The fontSlots in turn contain s:latin, s:ea and s:cs elements. These correspond to western, east asian and complex script languages. All three are required.
Note that the eot-file is required to display the font in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. A second issue is that Chrome will not handle anti-aliasing correctly for woff/ttf files. It only shows svg fonts well. But sadly, it will use the first one given to it and SharePoint wont let you choose the order. If you have a working fix for this, please email me!
or on a live site at /_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx. Once copied and renamed, you can upload it to the library at that URL. In order for this master page to be available as a Composed Look in the Design Manager, we also need a preview page. I will go into this a bit more later, but for now, make a copy of the corresponding preview file, rename it as you did the master page, and upload it appropriately.
If you want to make sure you are seeing your custom master page in the next step, add an element or just some text somewhere.
One simple way to set the master page is to open up the design manager (remember that you need to have activated the Publishing Server Site Collection feature, as well as the Publishing Site feature, for this to be available), choosing any Composed Look from the pre-installed looks, then selecting your custom master page in the Site Layout select menu. Apply this Composed Look and check it out, you should see your custom elements/text. You can also pick your color scheme from the color scheme select menu, but since they don't have names, it may be hard to make out exactly which one is yours! Use the preview window to the right of the menu to determine what theme is correct.
In order not to have to generate this composed look by selecting the appropriate color scheme every time you change the theme, you can save a specific composed look. To do this, in Site Settings, under the Web Designer Galleries header, you should find the Composed Looks link. Clicking on it will take you to a list containing all the saved themes. Click new item and fill in the information to store your specific combination. Give it a useful name, as this will show up in the gallery.
Now, a small gotcha. If you look at your master page preview file, you see it has a very custom format. The one thing that stands out is on the first line, the default color scheme. What caused me three days of headaches is my assumption that for a certain master page, the intended default .spcolor file should be here. This however causes a slightly surprising thing. The CSS files included in the master page will not be compiled when this .spcolor file is chosen in the composed look. Any replacecolor directives will be ignored. This is only for the .spcolor defined in the preview file. Any other color scheme chosen in the design manager will trigger the appropriate process. This of course works for the built-in master pages as the default color scheme is already defined in the CSS files. No replacements are required.
For example, the Seattle master page preview file defines Palette001.spcolor on its first line. If this combination is chosen, it will still render correctly, because all CSS files associated with this master page have these colors as default. The ReplaceColor directives are ignored.
If you, like me, have added custom elements and custom CSS on the master page however, your own files will also not be compiled. Even worse, if you've set your custom .spcolor in the preview file, you will be tearing your hair out trying to figure out why all other themes work but yours.
A simple solution is to define no .spcolor file on top of the master page preview. SharePoint handles this perfectly fine and all color schemes will trigger the replacement process in the SharePoint theming engine.
Finally, let's build an example project. We'll create a color scheme, a custom master page with preview, a custom CSS file with ReplaceColor and tie it all together in a composed look.
We create our composed look and apply it using an EventReciever.
Recently a coworker and I started working with the Sharepoint 2013 spcolor file, part of Sharepoint composed looks, and I thought I could share our findings in hopes of helping someone else in the same situation.
This means that all elements with the class 'some-class' will be assigned the font color #262626 and not #000000. The ReplaceColor comment replaces the specified value with the corresponding value from the spcolor-file.
This can be used when creating your own themes, or in another word: composed looks. A custom made CSS file, as well as Sharepoint's own CSS files, can use ReplaceColor .
And this is where we hit our firt road block, the lack of documentation. Although the names in the pcolor file are somewhat descriptive, it is impossible to tell exactly which elements they affect. There are, so to speak, some gaps.
We searched the spcolor file, looking for the selectors that used ReplaceColor and then we added those selectors as comments to the spcolor file in order to make it easier to use. It isn't great bedtime reading, but I hope it can help to somewhat ease the process for future development of composed looks.

Absence, The: Enemy Unbound
Vengeance and Victory
The melodic death metal/metalcore genre is quite frankly a mixed bag. Though there are plenty of great bands in the genre, it's often stereotyped with the over-commercialized garbage that is (admittedly) ever-present within the music scene. The Absence is a solid, talented quintet that would have a very tough time fitting in with the latter description. Although their style is nothing that a melodeath fan hasn't seen before, that doesn't stop Enemy Unbound from being a highly enjoyable album. There are plenty of head-crushing riffs, technical approaches, and melodic solos to impress most fans of the genre. If you like the American melodic death metal/metalcore sound, Enemy Unbound is a highly recommendable release.
Enemy Unbound consists of 11 tracks, all of which are pretty strong. The opening song serves as a great intro, but right after that you're thrown into melodic death metal madness. All of the tracks are solid, professional compositions. My favorites are "Deepest Wound" and "Enemy Unbound", although every song has distinctly memorable hooks. Unfortunately, The Absence's formula gets a bit tired by the end of the album, but it's not a huge problem considering the quality of the compositions. If you like a lot of variation in your music, this may be a bit of a drawback, however.
The musicians in The Absence are fantastic. They're a tight-playing, professional unit who manages to incorporate melody and technicality into their sound. If you pay a lot of attention to the album, it's actually amazing how technical Enemy Unbound is for a melodeath release. I especially have to applaud drummer Jeramie Kling for his terrific drumming. That guy is a monster behind the kit, constantly amazing me with double-bass rhythms and intricate details.
The production is really good. It's a bit too polished for my tastes, but it fits this style of music like a glove. Good job on Peter Joseph and Patrick Pintavalle's part.
Enemy Unbound is a really good third album by The Absence. If they could develop a bit more of a distinct and diversified sound, I could see them easily becoming one of the leaders of the melodic death metal/metalcore genre. As for now, Enemy Unbound is a very enjoyable release, well worth 3.5 stars.

Yesterday I had an problem with a Host Named Site Collection, or rather it appears that one of the servers appeared to be slow. But being a HNSC no AAM's were created for it and with four front ends to test how the hell do you hit each one sseperately.
Chap running the servers was kind enough to give me the IP addresses and of course I can then edit the hosts file and test each one from the main address.
Enter Fiddler, did I say how much I love fiddler ?
In fiddler is a rules file, CTRL-R will get you there. In that we can do marvelous things, in this case I wanted to handle my HNSC problem by having 4 separate urls I could hit and test each server in a load test script.
oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "192.168.1.10"; // <– Server IP here!
oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "192.168.1.11"; // <– Server IP here!
oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "192.168.1.12"; // <– Server IP here!
oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "192.168.1.13"; // <– Server IP here!
Save it and do a test.
I even ran WireShark to see what was actually happening on the network stack, and it works, it was routing requests for specific servers to each individual server, and because we set the hostname to what it should be any code JS or server using the server name works fine too.
Makes me really want to crack open the fiddler manual and find out what other voodoo I can do.


Location of the World Sights Park: Recently my Facebook was swamped with people visiting some place which had nearly all of the famous landmarks from all around the world, right here in the Kingdom. Albeit the landmarks were scaled down replicas, it still was fascinating to think what place had all of these. One of my friends told me that this place was not only in Saudi but extremely close by. This place was in fact located at the Eastern Ring Road at the Exit no. 10. Nasir Al Raijhi, Al Mughriza which is opposite to the Philippines Star City counterpart in this part of the world. For all single people, the place is open only Tuesdays from 4 pm onwards, while the rest of the days are for families only.
Entrance Fee to the World Sights Park: I had already made up my mind that I would go visit this place even if I had to wait till Tuesday. I invited some of my friends to go with me. We looked at our schedules and then decided to head over to this undiscovered place next week. Upon arrival, the gatekeeper charged us each SAR 10 which was definitely not a burden on anybody's wallet.
We concluded the tour by visiting the Historical City located in Petra, Jordan and also the Windmills of Netherland, both of which looked absolutely amazing. The last stop we made was the area which included the national landmarks of the Kingdom.
Riyadh Metro with 6 lines, which areas would it cover in Riyadh?

On the relationship between bird and woody plant species diversity in the Uttara Kannada district of south India
Daniels, Ranjit RJ and Joshi, NV and Gadgil, Madhav (1992) On the relationship between bird and woody plant species diversity in the Uttara Kannada district of south India. In: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 89 (12). pp. 5311-5315.
pnas5311.pdf
Bird species richness is inversely related to woody plant species diversity and vertical stratification in the natural vegetation of Uttara Kannada, the district with the largest contiguous tract of humid tropical forest in peninsular India. This inverse relationship may be explained by the fact that although the peninsular Indian evergreen forests are rich in woody plant species when compared with the drier vegetation, they harbor an impoverished bird fauna due to their smaller overall extent and greater isolation. Much of this impoverishment is accounted for by the absence of many species of understory timaliids characteristic of the humid evergreen forests of the Eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia. The plantations of Uttara Kannada largely derive their bird fauna from the drier vegetation and exhibit the commoner trend of a positive correlation between bird species richness and vertical stratification of the vegetation.

Dr. Thomas C. Gorman
Prominent among the representatives of professional interests in Jones county is Dr. Thomas C. Gorman, successfully practicing as a physician and surgeon in Anamosa. He holds to high ideals in his chosen life work and his careful preparation has made him well qualified for the onerous duties which devolve upon him in professional connections. He was born in Hale, Jones county, on the 4th of August, 1874, and is a son of John and Mary (Rooney) Gorman, both of whom were natives of Ireland. The year 1847 witnessed their arrival in America and in Troy, New York, their marriage was celebrated. Soon afterward they removed to Chicago, Illinois, where they remained for about five years and later came to this state.
Dr. Gorman has spent his entire life in Iowa, pursuing his education in his youthful days in the schools of Dubuque. Later he determined upon the practice of medicine as his life work and to this end was matriculated in the Rush Medical College of Chicago in 1893. He pursued the regular four years course and was graduated in 1897. He spent the succeeding year and a half at St. Elizabeth Hospital, thus putting to the practical test his theoretical training and qualifying for the onerous duties of a private practice in the broad and varied experience for hospital work. On leaving that institution he came to Anamosa in 1908, opened his office here and has since successfully practiced, being regarded as one of the leading physicians and surgeons in this part of the state. He is also acting as surgeon for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway at this point. He is very careful in the diagnosis of his cases and his judgment seldom if ever is at fault in determining the outcome of disease. He performs all professional duties with a sense of conscientious obligation that has won him the confidence and support of the general public and the regard of his professional brethren.
In addition to his practice he owns a city dwelling, three farms, two farms of three hundred and forty acres in Fairview township and another tract of four hundred and eighty acres of land in Texas. He is a stockholder and director in the Niles & Waters Bank, a director of the public library and also a director in the Anamosa Fair Association, and in the control and management of these interests he displays the qualities of an enterprising and progressive business man as well as the salient features of a successful medical practitioner.
On the 15th of October, 1902, Dr. Gorman was married to Miss Nellie E. Gavin, a daughter of Malachi and Mary Ellen Gavin, both of whom were natives of Ireland. Dr. and Mrs. Gorman now have two sons, Thomas Gavin and Edward Carroll.
In his fraternal relations Dr. Gorman is connected with Mount Carmel lodge of the Knights of Columbus at Cedar Rapids and with the Modern Woodmen Camp, No. 167, at Anamosa. He is also a member of the Catholic church and his political allegiance is given to the democracy. He is a man fearless in the defense of whatever he believes to be right and his position is never an equivocal one. In matters of public concern he manifests discriminating and intelligent citizenship, laboring earnestly and effectively for the welfare of the community, while in social life his genial qualities have won for him warm friendships and kindly regard.

AXE® Continues the Find Your Magic Initiative with Launch of "Senior Orientation"
John Legend and Carlos Andrés Gómez kick off program to promote inclusive masculinity in high schools
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The high school experience can be painful. The atmosphere of the hallways, locker rooms, parties and social media channels often push insecurities to the forefront as young guys struggle to figure out who they are within the confines of "who they're supposed to be."
This pressure to conform can churn out unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. In fact, of the young guys who find themselves facing this inner turmoil, 81 percent turn to bullying, 71 percent to sexual harassment and 51 percent experience depression*. To help empower young guys to confidently embrace their true selves, AXE announces "Senior Orientation," a program dedicated to bringing a message of self-expression and inclusivity directly to high school students.
Through a custom curriculum and series of performances, seniors will be encouraged to foster an environment of inclusive masculinity. Co-developed with AXE by masculinity expert, poet and author Carlos Andrés Gómez, and featuring award-winning musician and activist, John Legend, the program will rally seniors to take a mentorship role with underclassmen that shows them there's no one way to "be a man." Both Legend and Gomez will also help select and mentor students to perform at Senior Orientation to express their own unique voices to their school.
"Finding the courage to express your truest self is a crucial part of growing up and being the best person you can be. I'm proud to continue working with AXE to help young guys find their magic," said Legend. "We want to encourage guys to be open and creative, to embrace their individuality and to conquer their fears. While there's so much pressure to fit in, the greatest find a way to stand out."
Senior Orientation will take place this year at Centennial High School in Columbus, Ohio – close to Legend's hometown – and is open only to Centennial students. As part of the Columbus City School District, Centennial's administration and students are proud of fostering a culture of encouragement to self-expression. The school is now eager to take it even further with the AXE Senior Orientation program.
"Society conditions guys to puff out their chests and pick on the kid who doesn't conform to the mold," said Gómez. "They think – that guy over there plays the flute, does ballet or has a lisp, it's ok if I make his life miserable. They think being the bully makes them 'look cool,' but it's really just trying to fit in at all costs. Or they think disrespecting girls will make them more of a man. It was the same when I was in high school, and I still see it with the kids I work with today."
"As a men's grooming brand, AXE has always been about helping guys feel more confident," said Dawn Hedgepeth, Senior Director of US Deodorants & Male Grooming at Unilever. "The truest source of confidence is the freedom to embrace and express your truest personal style, down to the very fibers of your DNA. We absolutely owe it to our guys – and the women in their lives – to champion a more inclusive world where this is possible. There's no place today more in need of this than our high schools."

90+ Best Inspirational Positive Surrogacy Quotes
Positive surrogacy quotes: Surrogacy is a complex and sensitive topic. It deals with many different emotions; the pure love of wanting to have a child, the struggle of not having a child, and the pain of having a child and not having the ability to truly be a parent to that child.
Surrogacy is a topic that has been portrayed in many different lights. It's important to be informed and know how your surrogacy agency operates.
Surrogacy is the process in which an embryo created by IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is implanted into a woman who is not the genetic mother of the embryo. Couples who are infertile might use surrogacy to have a child and an infertile woman might also use surrogacy to bear her own child.
Surrogacy is a complicated process that involves several people and each of them might go through a different phase of surrogacy at different points in time. However, the process starts and ends with the intended parent.
Here are some surrogacy quotes to inspire women for sarrogacy, which unintentedly reflects women's power.

Right from the Author
Many people know what surrogacy is, but they are not sure how it works and the different steps taken to make it happen. There is a lot of confusion between surrogacy and adoption, while one is a legal agreement and the other is a social agreement; they have a lot of common ground.
Who is Surrogat's mother? Explanation; Egg donation or oocyte donation or ovum donation or ova donation is a procedure in which a female donates her egg(s), or ovum(s), or ovaries to another woman or to a couple who are unable to conceive a child on their own, for assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as In vitro fertilization (IVF).
In the context of the medical field, the term surrogacy means an arrangement for the carrying of a pregnancy for intended parents.
