Outstanding file server and web hosting server; could be faster - Synology DS209 2100 2TB Disk Station 2-bay SATA NAS Server for Workgroups and Offices Network Storage Server This is my second Synology. This replaced my four year old DS206. I am very satisfied. Bad news first: (1) Speed: Although I'm glad to report that DS209 is at least twice as fast or as the DS206, it is still no contest to an internal hard drive. I actually hesitated between buying the Synology and building a real Windows server. That being said, I feel the Synology really is fast enough for its intended purpose. (2) Hidden Features: Although the very basic setup of Synology DS209 is straightforward and simple, many advanced functions require a tech savvy person to dig out. (3) Connectivity issues: I used to be plagued by a very annoying problem with Synology. The good news: (1) Performance: This thing works, very reliably. (2) Web station: The Synology can host up to 30 websites.

In real life, she is sitting on the sofa in the bay window of her San Francisco assisted-living facility. But in the virtual world, Anderlini is on a Hawaiian beach, and it's sunset, and she is surrounded by a glistening sea and a molten, purple-red sky. "Hello, it's so nice to see you again," comes Kim's pre-recorded voice from inside the headset. "Oh my goodness!"

Kingfisher Project – Description Greek Sailaways are one to two week sailing holidays in a Christian environment offered through August and September, aboard the S/Y “ENCOUNTER ” our 90ft (27m) traditional gaff rigged schooner. Aboard the “Encounter” you’ll have the opportunity to experience the joy and beauty of sailing among some of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean Sea. In the evenings however, you’ll be able to relax as you gaze at the setting sun, laying safely at anchor in a remote cove enjoying fine Greek and international meals, good company and the gentle sounds of the sea. The daily schedule will involve sail training, knots, navigation, snorkeling over reefs and through caves, cliff jumping and windsurfing with lessons included, also excursions ashore, as well as ample opportunity to relax with a good book or chat with a friend, or just lay on the deck and soak in the sun. Most days we will take the opportunity to explore God’s Word in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

La Cave, landscape painter" Skip to main content Shelter From The Storm | The Official Bob Dylan Site ’Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” Copyright © 1974 by Ram's Horn Music; renewed 2002 by Ram’s Horn Music
Family History - Church Courts GoConqr - Changing the way you learn Outlaws and Highwaymen Can soup change the world? Detroit - once a manufacturing giant - went bust in 2013.

Snow is falling, and so is the temperature - it's -15C at last count. Unsociable conditions such as these would put paid to plans for many people, but not in Detroit. "Winter 'Soups' always do well," says Detroit Soup founder Amy Kaherl, preparing for the latest of her fundraising events. With a small team of dedicated volunteers, an empty hall is quickly filled with tables laden with huge loaves of bread, and the waft of soup. "Tonight is our 95th soup, and in total we've raised over $85,000 (£57,000)," she says proudly. The 33-year-old Kaherl is a master multi-tasker - with her rapid-fire speech she is the kind of person who can answer three questions in one sentence. With the presentations over, soup is served. "The money can only go so far, and it went pretty fast actually. Inspired?
