I am beginning to see that WCF IIS deployment is no piece of cake, and lots of things break depending on configuration and environment.
Can anyone recommend an online resource that can teach me the art of deployment for WCF IIS Applications.
Thank you
Some of the issues I've already faced when deploying, but not limited to this list:
- Logging stops working
- Production server may have SSL enabled
- Permissions (oh joy!)
- Proxy Servers may / may not be used in production
- IIS version differance
- Windows Server version differances
- Framework features not enabled in production
- 32bit vs 64bit issues
- App gets installed to a virtual directory sitting in the same application as a SharePoint installation
- App pool running under extremely limited credentials
- Locale Differances
The list continues, I want to extend my expertise in this area

If you've been run down (aka over doing it), low in energy (weak defences) or constantly in challenging environments (vulnerable), you can unknowingly absorb lower vibrations of energy. It happens.
We get a little wobbly. Thrown off centre. Lose connection to our normally safe protected self. Sometimes – unintentionally taking on the fear, worry and/or confusion of others. Our emotional and physical health may suffer. We are not ourselves – and we know it.
It can happen to any of us. I am certainly no exception. Gosh, I even get zapped going into a busy supermarket! The truth is there's harsh energies everywhere. On the tv, media, the next internet headline, places, roads, at the other end of the phone and the list goes on.
My "go to" super power (for over a decade now) is my magical bestie from the mineral kingdom – black tourmaline.
Black tourmaline is the most potent protective crystal that I know. Consider black tourmaline your personal body guard to ward off negativity and toxic debris. Your superhero for dealing with the bad guys.
Black tourmaline even brings white light to your own negative thoughts and fears. On a physical level helping with anxiety, depression, panic and stress. That's impressive!
It's the foundational plate I'm using for this months global full moon healing circle. Black tourmaline never disappoints (me) as a warrior for protection.
How to use black tourmaline as a protective tool:
Simply start by buying a piece of black tourmaline. I prefer unpolished (as in the photo)
You can pop a piece of black tourmaline under your pillow, into your bra, coat pocket, handbag, add it to your bath for a healing water elixir, taped to your bottled water or next to your computer.
Keep it close to your energy field. That's the secret.
Of course you can buy jewellery made from black tourmaline. It's a simple way to infuse your auric field with a shield of protection.
Crystal medicine:
1. Pop a piece of black tourmaline between your feet whilst lying in bed. It helps draw out toxins.
2. Gently balance a piece of black tourmaline on your solar plexus to bring clarity and strengthen to your own personal power. Perfect again whilst lying in bed.
3. Grid your office, bedroom or home with black tourmaline. Place one piece into each of the four corners of any space.
4. I would highly recommend black tourmaline if you have been ill. Meditate with black tourmaline and invite more light into your cells.
Protective qualities of black tourmaline infused into card:
For over 2 years now I've been energetically working with the amazing Liquid Crystal Oracle deck along with it's exceptionally detailed guidebook. It's spectacular. I've co-created some amazing alchemy with these cards over the years.
Each card carries the potent healing qualities of the crystal they represent.
I adore working with the mineral kingdom and the deva's that embody each crystal.
Trust me when I say these cards are pulsing with healing energy. They work on a physical, emotional and spiritual level and they are perhaps the most potent healing cards I have come across.
The image on each card has been channelled drawing on the ancient alchemy of Atlantis.
Each card is energetically healing when placed on a certain part of your body or chakra. I now take them on all my retreats. They work swiftly and efficiently.
I often sleep with one of the cards under my pillow. Today I am meditating with the card Selenite for spiritual guidance and for support whilst facilitating my 48 hour Global Full Moon Healing Circle.
Thought I'd share these crystal oracle cards with you as they are an awesome option to work with the healing energies of crystals without having to spend lots of money buying them.
Enjoy your journey with black tourmaline.
Peace, love and crystal healing to you all xx Carole

Tribes are back with their second album, but Toto, doesn't sound like we're in Camden anymore.
For their second set 'Wish To Scream', Johnny and the boys headed out to LA to record in the legendary Sound City Studios, the same sacred dive as Nirvana's 'Nevermind' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' were laid down. That means it could be one of the last records to be made in the iconic San Fernando studio, since its financial struggles were the subject for Dave Grohl's documentary about the place. He bought the famous 'Neve Console' for his own studio to make the 'Real To Reel' album with the Sound City Players supergroup.
The trip clearly took its toll on Tribes, who have come up with a record fully imbued with America. We have an exclusive stream of the album right here. Has the history of Sound City rubbed off on Tribes, and has it been for the better? Let us know below, and check out this week's NME for our verdict.

Hero cop sues department over concealed carry denial
The UC Berkeley officer hailed as a hero for helping to rescue a kidnap victim is now suing her former employer, saying she was wrongfully denied approval to carry a concealed weapon after she retired on medical disability
By Henry Lee
San Francisco Chronicle
BERKELEY, Calif. — The UC Berkeley police officer hailed as a hero for helping to rescue kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard is now suing her former employer, saying she was wrongfully denied approval to carry a concealed weapon after she retired on medical disability.
Allison "Ally" Jacobs' instincts helped lead to the 2009 capture of Phillip Garrido, the man who kept Dugard captive for 18 years at his home near Antioch. A year later, Jacobs suffered an on-duty injury and, in April 2013, she accepted a disability retirement.
Under state law, retired cops are entitled to a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But Jacobs was told she was ineligible for a retired officer card with an endorsement to carry a concealed weapon because UC, in a policy shift, no longer considered her and others receiving disability income to be "retired."
Jacobs' attorney, Michael Morguess, said UC officials were "playing semantics" with officers who "put their lives on the line at UC and got injured in the course of performing their duties."
UC officials said they changed their policy after former UC Berkeley police Sgt. Karen Alberts, who was close to retirement age, unsuccessfully sued UC in 2012 over a similar denial of a weapons permit after she suffered an on-duty injury.
In rejecting Alberts' request for a court order, Judge Evelio Grillo of Alameda County Superior Court suggested that Alberts had the "ability to pursue alternative paths that may lead to the same ultimate result," such as formally choosing to retire instead of continuing to accept disability payments, in accordance to UC policies.
UC's retirement plan is different from state plans like the California Public Employees' Retirement System "in that there is no 'disability retirement' status," said UC spokeswoman Dianne Klein.
Jacobs now does public speeches on the importance of following one's intuition. She said Monday that she needed the permit because, after her publicized role in the Garrido case, criminals might recognize and challenge her.
"I feel, once a police officer, always a police officer," she said. "The fact is all officers are targets the rest of their lives whether retired or not. A big target is painted on my back, and I fear I will not be able to not only protect myself, but my family if the need arises."
Jacobs said she sensed something wasn't right on Aug. 25, 2009, when Garrido and the two daughters he fathered with Dugard after kidnapping her showed up at the UC Berkeley police station to ask for permission to hold a campus event. The pale girls were wearing drab sundresses.
Their interaction with Garrido was strange, and the effect added up to " 'Little House on the Prairie meets robots,' " Jacobs said.
Jacobs checked Garrido's background, saw that he was a sex offender with convictions for rape and kidnapping, and contacted his parole officer. Jacobs got the shock of her life when the parole officer told her that Garrido didn't have any known children.
That set in motion Dugard's rescue and the arrest of Garrido and his wife, who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

A Heritage of Needle Art; Jeffrey R. Krull Gallery, Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne Indiana.
The Fort Wayne Area Embroiderer's Guild will sponsor A Heritage of Needle Art, an exhibition that honors Embroidery, in all its shapes and traditions, as a timeless and enduring expression of art.

Kuhn (March 29, 1872 – September 4, 1948) was an official U.S. Army artist who designed the first authorized coats of arms and unit insignia for the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps, Engineer Corps, Cavalry, Infantry, National Guard and other branches. An expert on flags, heraldry, embroidery, and military antiquities, Kuhn made significant contributions to American military history. A number of Kuhn's paintings are included in the permanent collections of the White House, U.S. Naval Academy Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. Kuhn is the great uncle of Jeffrey Krull, recently retired director of the Allen County Public Library system and Gallery namesake. For more information, contact Susan Mol, firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have an old Northwood compatible Shuttle XPC that I upgraded from a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 (Northwood) to a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 (Northwood). Now, I'm wondering if it is cooling it well enough. I've seen it in the low 60's (C) while idling, but CPU World says the maximum operating temperature is 68 degrees. The BIOS's default temperature for increasing the fan speed was 60 degrees, with the fans reaching full speed at 70 degrees. I've lowered the lower threshold to 56 degrees, but that causes the fan to kick in quite a bit more. Is that the maximum ambient temperature and I'm OK or is that the temperature reported by the CPU (in which case I should be concerned?
I'm wondering if perhaps I didn't do a good enough job applying the thermal grease.

A nice compilation of tracks issued by Prestige at the end of the 60s – and pulled from unreleased sessions cut earlier in the decade. Most of the material has an early 60s soul jazz groove to it – and there's some nice bits by strong players on the label. Willis Jackson and Wally Richardson groove on "Something Private", Jack McDuff and Red Holloway lay down "Redwood City", Blue Mitchell and McDuff take the "9:20 Special", and Gene Ammons and Clarence Sleepy Anderson play versions of "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "My Babe".

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

The Robber's Last Ride
A novel retells the true story of the bank robber Willie Sutton's final release from prison, on Christmas Eve, 1969, when he toured the New York haunts of his prime.
I've often thought that America's fascination with bank robbers has far less to do with the physical act of robbing a financial institution and more to do with the masculine fantasy of the open road and of an escape from familial and other responsibilities, not to mention the attraction of adrenalized adventure, casual violence and women of loose morals. These are the hallmarks of all our most infamous bank robbers and their stories.
Think about it. Far more banks are robbed nowadays than during the Depression or the Wild West, yet almost all our legendary stickup men hail from these two freewheeling eras: Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the Doolins, John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, even Bonnie and Clyde, though they robbed more drugstores than actual banks. Unlike the largely anonymous bank robbers of today, all operated in a kind of mythic America—a simpler America—many still pine for. Dillinger's occasional exploits in Chicago aside, they roamed across a countryside whose illicit freedoms have been all but obliterated by stop lights, speed limits, highway patrolmen, radar and radio. It's hard to think of a bank robber who attained mythic status robbing banks after World War II, or in the cities.
By J.R. Moehringer
Hyperion, 334 pages, $27.99
But there was one: Willie Sutton. I confess, for all the thousands of words I've written and read about those named above, I had only the dimmest sense of Sutton's exploits before picking up J.R. Moehringer's novel, a rich imagining of a man probably best known for a quote he swore he never uttered. ``Why do you rob banks?'' he was asked. Said Sutton: "Because that's where the money is.'' Ah well. The best quotes are always too good to be true.
Sutton's career was notable for its longevity. Born in 1901, a rough Irish kid from a very rough Brooklyn neighborhood, Sutton spent most of his adult life in prison. His bank robberies were confined to three windows of freedom, in the mid-1920s, the mid-1930s and, after a prison escape in 1948, the three years after that. Sutton, whose jobs were mostly limited to the Philadelphia and New York areas, wasn't quite a gentleman bandit; he carried a Thompson submachinegun and roughed up his share of bank guards. But he never killed anyone, which gained him a certain following.
Mr. Moehringer, author of the memoir "The Tender Bar," builds his narrative around the bank robber's final release from prison, in December 1969. A reporter and photographer were assigned to ferry him around to all his old New York haunts—this actually happened—and "Sutton" traces the bank robber's life through a series of flashbacks at each stop. His boyhood home in Brooklyn. A favorite whorehouse. His first bank. Yankee Stadium. These are told in present tense, without quotations marks, which is fine. But Sutton's long day as a tour guide is told in italics, the reporter called simply "Reporter," the photographer "Photographer.'' This was a little cutesy for me
Mr. Moehringer is a good writer, bringing alive both the 1969 Sutton, cranky and cursing, and the younger versions, idealistic and determined. But few things about criminal history raise my hackles as much as books that glamorize or idealize their subjects. The worst example of this would be the 1968 movie "Bonnie and Clyde," which depicted a pair of Texas-based spree killers as cuddly, misunderstood malcontents. Mr. Moehringer comes awfully close to crossing this line.
Maybe Sutton really was beaten senseless by his older brothers at every turn. Maybe he only reluctantly turned to crime when his girlfriend, a Park Slope industrialist's daughter, begged him to rob her father's company so they could run off together. I gather Sutton really did read and underline Cicero and Tennyson and Plato and Ben Franklin and did in fact drop their quotes into jailhouse repartee with his fellow prisoners. But the net effect is to render one of the 20th century's most notorious felons an awfully likeable fellow.
His Sutton's a smart yegg as yeggs go, though his confederates, each dumber than the next, keep getting him arrested and thrown back into stir. If only Sutton could find another bank man who's read his Tennyson, one senses, he might have never been caught. As Mr. Moehringer imagines him, Sutton spent his career trying, in essence, to raise enough money to rescue that girlfriend, Bess, first from her father, and then from whatever life she was living without him. Bess is the figure who unifies the entire story, a little too neatly, I suspect. But, hey, stranger things have happened.
The book's narrative, a waltzing pace throughout, slowly builds to twin conclusions: Sutton's final confrontation with his memories of his long-lost girlfriend and his headline-hogging arrest in 1951, after a Brooklyn mailman named Arnold Schuster spotted him coming out of the subway. Sutton emerged a national antihero, Schuster a goat, and after Schuster was subsequently murdered—by Outer Borough mafiosi outraged at a snitch, some say—everyone wanted to know if Sutton was somehow behind his death. Mr. Moehringer treats the Schuster killing as his Rosebud, and Reporter and Photographer hector Sutton about it until the book's final pages. The ending is anticlimactic, the Rosebud finally revealed as little more than a Maguffin.
It left me wondering why Sutton attained legendary status. I suspect it had something to do with his best-known exploits arose in 1951-era New York, making him a tabloid contemporary of Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. A generation of New York boys thrilled to those men's stories, and they haven't tired of discussing—or writing about—them yet. Maybe they never will.

AbstractThe objective of this proposal is to build a practical, cost-effective and highly flexible parts library catalog system for commercial shipyards.The proposed catalog systems will complement typical medium to small shipyard IT infrastructures and will enable these shipyards to implement and benefit from improved e-commerce and supply chain concepts.Parts Library Catalog Systems are a means to provide parts information for shipyard design, procurement, and planning processes. Parts data are only entered once, then re-used many times in different areas of the shipyard's business. The catalog system canhelp to reduce the labor content and overall cycle time for all parts related business processes.This proposal will build on Atlantec's Topgallant suite of interoperability products and the architecture and data models developed in the NSRP ISE projects. It will focus on the requirements of small to medium sized shipyards, though.During Phase I of this project Atlantec Enterprise Solutions, Inc. plans to define parts catalog system requirements, to develop product specifications and to prototype an early implementation of the parts catalog system in cooperation with its partnersBender Shipbuilding & Repair Co., Inc.,Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyard, Inc., Liberty Consulting, Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.. The proposed development will provide an affordable and practical parts catalog system for small to medium U.S. shipyards. This new parts catalog system will enable shipyards to implement and benefit from new e-commerce and supply chain concepts.It will support a seamless flow of information for the complete supply chain, and will streamline and simplify parts related business communication and processes.The parts catalog system can help to reduce the labor content and overall cycle time for parts related business processes. Parts data is entered once then re-used many times in different areas of the shipyard's business. The time required to define andselect supplier parts for a specific design can be significantly reduced. Also, the procurement process, i.e. the request for quotation, offer evaluation and the ordering will benefit from a common parts information base at a shipyard. Design changes andrework induced by inconsistent parts information can be eliminated. Also, part equivalency checking can be a big cost saver for the shipyards.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Two people who lost children in the Oklahoma City bombing and two who lost siblings will be among those who will watch in person as Timothy McVeigh gets a lethal injection for the crime.
Paul R. Howell, Kay Fulton and Peggy Broxterman said they were picked in a lottery to witness McVeigh's May 16 execution at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind.
Rudy Guzman will also witness the execution, a victim's relative said.
The U.S. Justice Department refused to identify those who will occupy the 10 seats set aside for survivors of the bombing and for those who lost family members.
The execution will be shown on closed-circuit television in Oklahoma City for survivors and family who weren't selected to watch the execution in person. The private broadcast will be shown at the Federal Transfer Center, a facility used to hold inmates temporarily as they are moved across the country.
Many families said Friday they didn't know who had been selected and that they were eager to find out. Others refused to say whether they knew, calling it a personal matter.
"I would imagine there are going to be some people who won't want anyone to know," said Karen Howick, an attorney who helped the families petition for a closed-circuit broadcast. "There are a lot people that would rather be left alone."
Howell, from Oklahoma City, said he talked with his family and other victims' families before deciding whether he would go to Terre Haute. His 27-year-old daughter, Karan Howell Shepherd, died in the bombing.
"I've been trying to do some heavy thinking for about the last three months," he said.
"I think it will help the healing process. I'm hoping and praying that it does. I think it's going to help my family. That's the main thing."
Howell said he already had one call from a stranger who was angry at him for planning to attend the execution. He said a woman ranted about her conspiracy theories regarding the bombing before Howell hung up on her. He figures he'll get similar calls in the next few weeks.
"Tell 'em to come on," he said. "I guarantee I can take 'em."
McVeigh was convicted of the April 19, 1995, attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which left 168 dead.
The Daily Oklahoman reported that Broxterman of Las Vegas and Fulton of Red Wing, Minn., were chosen. Kathleen Treanor, whose in-laws and 4-year-old daughter died in the bombing, named Guzman as a witness.
Treanor had wanted to watch the execution in person, but she said not being chosen is a "blessing in disguise." She plans to watch the closed-circuit broadcast.
"At least I'll be near my support people," she said. "I'm kind of halfway thankful I wasn't selected."
Broxterman's son, Paul Broxterman, 42, is a federal agent who was killed in the bombing while Fulton is the sister of Paul Ice, 42, a U.S. Customs Service agent who died.
Broxterman told The Daily Oklahoman that she called Fulton after she was notified Wednesday of her selection.
"We're so happy. We just feel as though we are representing both Pauls," Broxterman said. "And it's something that I just have to have. . . . It's going to be closing that door and it will be closing it tight."
About 285 victims earlier said they wanted to watch the execution.
An area is also being reserved at the Terre Haute prison for victims who want to be at the prison, but will not watch the execution.
Vicki Hamm, a survivor who wasn't selected to attend the execution in person, said she is considering watching from Oklahoma City.
"I just worry that if I see the execution, I will see his face when I close my eyes," she said. "Now I only see my friends and the Murrah Building the way it was. I don't want that to change."

Training Hints and Tips
- Zahur, who is located in Nardah, will clean your herbs for 200 coins per herb. She will also decant potions into 2 or 3-dose vials for the low price of 50 coins. Bob Barter at the Grand Exchange also has a similar service, but can decant potions into 4-dose vials as well.
- Strength potions are available in the free-to-play worlds by visiting the Apothecary in Varrock and trading him one limpwurt root, one lot of red spiders' eggs and 5 coins.
- Remember that water-filled vials can be bought from stores. Ardougne general store is one of many places you can buy these from.
- Train your Herblore skill alongside Agility by visiting the Brimhaven Agility Arena, where you can trade your tickets for herbs. You could even adventure into the Yanille Agility Dungeon and be lucky enough to obtain the sinister key, from fighting Salarin the Twisted.
To get to Herblore secondary ingredients areas quicker, you might want to consider purchasing a locator. These can be bought using reward credits in Mobilising Armies. Each officer of the officer tower can offer you a different level of locator.
By using the locator, you can choose to be teleported to a Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing or Herblore secondary ingredient area. Once you have made your choice, the locator will make some mysterious calculations and then teleport you randomly to a suitable spot. Try not to be wasteful: the locators have a limited number of charges and can only be refreshed by buying another or playing a game of Mobilising Armies.
Sinister Chest
In the Yanille Agility Dungeon resides Salarin the Twisted. He can only be defeated by elemental strike spells but, if you are successful, there is a chance that he may drop a sinister key, which is used to open the sinister chest in the skeleton room.
Upon opening the chest you will get poisoned, so it is a good idea to bring along an anti-poison of some type.
The chest contains a fixed set of nine cleaned herbs, which are:
If you have completed the Eadgar's Ruse quest you can now collect the herb goutweed from the troll storeroom and exchange it with Sanfew in Taverley for other herbs.
Once you have completed the quest, you will need to return to the Troll Stronghold basement storeroom and hide from the guards between the crates and boxes; then take your chance to dash across the room and grab goutweed from the crate without being caught.
You will then need to take your collected goutweed to Sanfew, who will exchange them for an equal number of grimy herbs.
Polypore Dungeon
Neem drupes grow within the Polypore Dungeon. These inedible fruits can be ground to oil using a pestle and mortar and stored in a jug. The oil can weaken the mutated creatures that live within the Polypore Dungeon.
If you have an empty jug (or one filled with neem oil) and pestle and mortar in your inventory, when you pick the drupes, you will automatically squeeze the oil into the jug. Otherwise you will just pick the drupes and they will be added to your inventory.
Note that the oil does not "tag" a creature for you - a weakened creature will not attack you - and the oil cannot be sprinkled if there are no viable targets within the area.
Herblore Boosts
|The Herblore cape, Herblore cape (t) or Herblore master cape can be used to temporarily increase your skill level by 1. To do this, equip one of the capes, right-click it and choose Boost.
|It is worth noting that Greenman's Ale temporarily increases your Herblore level by one. This can be purchased from the Dragon Inn (located in Yanille), brewed or bought from Jossik the lighthouse keeper's store after completing Horror from the Deep.
|A brown Spicy stew, amongst other things, has a random chance to increase your Woodcutting, Farming, Fishing, Mining and Herblore levels by up to 6 levels (or decrease them by the same amount).
Using the Summoning skill, you'll find that there are a few familiars that might be useful for training your Herblore capabilities. Of particular note is the macaw, whose special move finds plenty of herbs.
Useful Items
|If you have a Herblore level of 49 and a Dungeoneering level of 55, you may be able to purchase a scroll of cleansing from the rewards trader at Daemonheim for 20,00 Dungeoneering tokens. Once used, the scroll will disappear, giving you the following permanent effects:
|Upon finishing the Thieves' Guild caper, "A Guild of Our Own", you will be able to create a vial of stench by mixing a bowl of chopped onion into an unfinished irit potion. This vial of stench can be taken to Chief Thief Robin in the Thieves' Guild who will 'activate' it for you. Carrying this potion while stealing from stalls will enable you to immediately trade back your stolen goods to the very stallholder you lifted them from, their watering eyes stopping them from identifying you as the thief.
|Herbicide can erode any grimy herb that drops from a monster, giving you twice the amount of XP you would have received for cleaning that herb. To choose which herbs are eroded in this manner, 'Inspect' the herbicide and make your choices on the interface. Herbicide can be bought for 34,000 Dungeoneering tokens from the rewards trader. A Herblore level of 21 and a Dungeoneering level of 21 are required to purchase it.
|There are a few sets of gloves available from Fist of Guthix that anyone interested in Herblore should look to purchase. irit, avantoe, kwuarm and cadantine gloves increase the chance that you will receive those herbs as drops instead of other herbs. Any time that you would receive a herb drop, there is a 50% chance that it will automatically be the same herb as your gloves. This has no effect on creatures like fever spiders, who only drop one type of herb. These gloves will crumble to dust after 100 drops of the same herb as your gloves.
You need a Herblore level of 50 to wear irit gloves, 60 to wear avantoe gloves, 70 for kwuarm gloves and 80 for cadantine gloves.
|Once you have reached a certain point in the One Small Favour quest, you will learn to make Guthix rest. Of course, this is still useful after you have completed the quest. To make the potion, you will need an unfinished harralander potion and a clean marrentill. Successfully making Guthix rest will earn you a total of 59.5 Herblore experience.
When drunk, the potion can cure poison, reduce poison damage by 10 life points per dose, heal 200 life points, temporarily boost your maximum life points by 200 and restore 5% of your run energy.
|To learn to make Sanfew serum, you must have completed the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest and be interested in gathering some nail beast nails from Temple Trekking / Burgh de Rott Ramble. If you then speak to Sanfew, he will explain how to make this potion. You'll need a super restore, a ground unicorn horn, snake weed and nail beast nails.
Sanfew serum combines the effects of super restore, cure poison and cure disease potions all in one, as well as proving to be an effective weapon against the nail beasts themselves. Note that the effects are not as potent as those of the individual potions drunk separately.
|One dose of an ultra-growth potion skips a wood tree or fruit tree Farming patch ahead two stages. The potion can only be used once per tree.
Boosting Experience Gain
|The medium, large and huge fallen stars can boost your XP gain depending on your level. To activate your bonus XP, you must click the star. Once the bonus XP has been added to your bonus XP pool, the star is removed from your inventory.
|Each individual item in the botanist's set (boots, gloves, mask, top and trousers) grant 1% extra XP each. A complete set will grant an additional 1% XP bringing the total to 6% for the whole set.
|Each individual item in the witchdoctor set (mask, robes and legs) can grant 1% extra XP each. A complete set will grant an additional 1% XP (to Herblore, Farming and Hunter) bringing the total to 4% for the whole set. This bonus must be activated by catching all ten common jadinkos and all three god jadinkos at Herblore Habitat within the same week, and speaking to Papa Mambo. The bonus is active for 30 minutes.
Herblore Training in Dungeoneering
Main article: Dungeoneering/Herblore
It is possible to train all of your skills while Dungeoneering, and Herblore is no exception. Herbs can be gained from monster drops or by Farming, and, once clean, they are ingredients for useful potions. You can also gain Herblore experience by completing Herblore skill doors.

Guatemala City, Jul 26 (EFE).- Guatemala's National Coffee Association, or Anacafe, announced the existence of a new variety of coffee plant immune to roya, a fungus that causes coffee rust and which damaged crops on 70 percent of Guatemalan plantations in 2012 and 40 percent in 2013.
The plant, dubbed Anacafe-14, was presented Friday at the 25th National Coffee Congress, the organization said in a communique.
The new variety was created naturally in 1984 by a cross between Pacamara and Catimor plants near the village of El Tesoro, 206 kilometers (128 miles) from Guatemala City in Chiquimula province on the Honduran border.
The result of the natural hybridization produced "a sturdy plant" with "larger fruit," Anacafe said.
The owner of a plot of land in Francisco Manchame village identified the coffee plant and began the process of selecting the best fruit to use as the seed, and in that way produced a new generation "with exceptional characteristics," the organization said.
Following the fortuitous discovery and production of the plant, Anacafe said it detected the plot of land and began to supervise the crop "to technically confirm the characteristics" of the coffee plant, aware of its genetic potential.
The organization found, after six years of researching the soil, the climate and other factors, "valuable characteristics" in the variety, such as "resistance to roya and the drought," along with "excellent vegetative vigor" and "high productivity."
Roya, a rust fungus that spreads through coffee plantations, sometimes carried by the wind, first appeared in Guatemala in 1980, but a resurgence of the disease affected 70 percent of plantations in 2012 and 40 percent in 2013.
Guatemala is the seventh largest coffee exporter in the world and the commodity provides jobs for 1,100,000 Guatemalans, or 18 percent of the active working population, according to official figures.

The main food product of our tradition is tortellini: a thin sheet of pasta filled with delicate meat and closed. The recipe and the handwork has been transmitted from mother to daughter for generations.
This dish is a must on our tables, served in every party or gastronomic event in Valeggio. It became increasingly popular and point of interest for tourists
The birth of tortellini refers to an ancient medieval legend called the "Love Knot".
It tells the story of two lovers Silvia and Malco that couldn't stay together because they belonged to different worlds. Silvia gives Malco a silk handkerchief that they tied as symbol of their eternal love. The legend says that women wanted to remember the story of the lovers cooking a thin sheet of pasta, cut like an handkerchief and filled with something. Every year in Valeggio there is the "Feast of Love Knot": a great dinner served in a long table on the Visconteo Bridge where you can eat the best tortellini of Valeggio.
Other traditional products are fresh seasonal vegetables like peach and kiwi, and our local wines: Bianco di Custoza and Bardolino DOC with their sweet and fruity flavors.

The Rough Patch For Solar Manufacturers Should End Within Three Years
The latest report from NPD Solarbuzz — a market research firm based out of Santa Clara, California — projects that global revenues for the solar photovoltaic (PV) module industry will drop from $25.5 billion last year to $20.5 billion for this year. That 20 percent plunge, according to Solarbuzz, is a simple matter of overproduction.
The supply of potential solar PV capacity shot all the way up to 45 gigawatts by 2012, while end-market demand only reached 29 gigawatts. The cause was a precipitous drop of 50 percent in the average selling price of the modules, which is great for anyone who wants to buy, install, or use solar energy, but not so great for firms that supply it.
So now there's an ongoing drop in revenues, and a lot of backtracking amongst firms to bring supply back into line with demand, according to NPD Solarbuzz Senior Analyst Michael Barker:
Share values of several publicly listed PV companies have been falling close to delisting levels, operating losses have been reported in the hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter, and many manufacturers are continuing to file for insolvency.
As CleanTechnica noted, the recent bankruptcy of then Chinese solar manufacturer Suntech Power is only the most high-profile example of the problem. (Though it looks like Suntech's troubles also had a lot to do with bad financial management outside of any question of market fundamentals.) The good news is that the reckoning should be short. NPD Solarbuzz also projects revenues will start climbing again in 2014, and should clear 2012's level by 2016.
Solar PV Module Supplier Revenues Forecast To 2017
There's an argument to be made that the short-term culprit here is the contest between the United States and China, to see who can subsidize their respective solar industries the most (Hint: China is winning). On the other hand, finding the most economically efficient way to deliver energy — or finding the best "comparative advantage" roles for the U.S. and China in the solar market — is only the second most important goal of promoting renewables.
The most important goal is preventing worldwide ecological and civilizational catastrophe. And the entire way we currently conceptualize and measure economic activity doesn't grapple with the damage we're doing on that account.
Admittedly, tax and grant subsidies for renewable energy technology are an imperfect response to that problem. Building prices into the energy we get from fossil fuels that actually account for the ecological and social risks of carbon emissions would be far more elegant — and might help avoid some of these annoying overshoots and busts in the renewable energy market. But getting a price on carbon is proving to be a difficult political lift.
And in the meantime, simply sitting on our hands isn't an option.
(h/t: CleanTechnica)
11 Responses to The Rough Patch For Solar Manufacturers Should End Within Three Years
In the short term there might be some perception that some win and others lose. Actually, that might be minimal because if you haven't noticed, time is getting extremely compressed.
In the long term . . .
"The most important goal is preventing worldwide ecological and civilizational catastrophe."
In the 1870s John D. Rockefeller could see that the oil industry would grow wildly, so he set about to form a monopolistic cartel, then a monopoly company. China will be back soon enough, building out excess gigawatts of solar panels again in a further attempt to monopolize world energy production. Unlike Rockefeller, the ruling party in China is probably a bunch of bunglers who will soon completely tick off the rest of the world with their monopolistic tactics, except for the United States Congress which shall say "Moo" because they are always good for being milked by anyone rich.
There are a lot of external benefits: environment, infrastructure, health, resilience, life . . . and solar should be heavily subsidized way beyond fossil fuels.
Of course, life is not fair.
Paul, I usually think your comments are insightful and intelligent so am surprised by this one. China is doing her very best to provide affordable renewables to meet the climate challenge, something the USA could had done if it had chosen to use its wealth to help with the global struggle, ME
Except for the "except for" part, you are being a trifle simpliste. Like most monopolists, John D. acted with purist intent and goodness of heart. Watch Episode One of The Prize to see how your mischaracterization is soooo uncharitably misplaced.
Similarly, I wouldn't bet on the professional oligarchs running China to continue to make an ecological hash of us just because they've done such a smashing job in the past. They are pros…
Exactly! The drop in prices is fantastic and a gap between production and 'demand' insane. If the things are being built they should be installed, and to Hell with 'business plans' and any other capitalist mambo-jambo. When neo-liberal capitalist priorities and drives enter a sphere of action, humanity, decency and sanity are replaced by greed and the search for profit. To build a global system based on a crude calculus of profit and loss, expressed in monetary terms only, to the exclusion (often forcible) of all other values, is moral insanity, and, as we can see every day, it reduces everything to a lowest common denominator, a moral and spiritual grey sludge of undifferentiated sewage.
It doesn't have to be morally insane, however. That's not life-that's the actions of the tiny ruling elite, members of the distinct species Homo monstrum at work. They are the cuckoos in the human nest.
I try to see both the childish and the altruistic, the competent and the incompetent in the same people.
The Chinese government wants to talk a great game. They wanted a 300 mph train so they built it. They wanted an entire ecological city so they planned it, but last I heard the funding fell through.
Then there's the reality on the street. Beijing's air pollution can be terrible. The country had a ten day traffic jam. I saw a program segment where, in one place, all of the pollinators had been wiped out. Human farmers pollinated their crops with Q-tips. There's another tale circulating that China graduates half a million engineers a year, except that in one factory, college diplomas were being handed out to factory workers on payday.
Again, I see the Christian upbringing in John D. Rockefeller, and how he brought his kids up to be stewards of the wealth. He still strangled his competitors by colluding with a railroad to gouge his competitors and then the railroad had to pay him the difference. He still carried out the entire cartel operation in code, with code books. His name in the code book was "chowder", I believe. He knew that these actions were possibly illegal and that they could at the least prompt a massive consumer boycott against his company. Standard Oil was vilified by the American public, and in the end Teddy Roosevelt took antitrust action to break Standard Oil up into seven companies all with the name Standard Oil in their names.
I'd like to point out a problem I see that could happen: All of these solar panel companies collapsing, their assets being sold off. These assets include patents for their technology. What's to stop these patents from ending up in the hands of oil companies or non-practicing entities (Read: Companies that sue for a living) that will serve to hinder the industry? It's a real threat – Google "software patent apocalypse" – We're in the middle of that right now. Also, remember the Cobrasys NiMH debacle that popped up near the end of the GM EV1's life.
Tianjin Eco city is partly built and has people living in it already. Others such as Chendu are being either planned or built. I'd forget the bungling bit if I were you, ME
