Susan awoke slowly, not quite sure where she was. The bed she was laying in was considerably larger than the one she had at her parents' house in London. It was far more luxurious, as well. She was fairly certain that the sheets were satin, not the cotton she was used to, and the blanket under her fingers definitely felt ornately embroidered. If she didn't know any better she would have sworn that she was waking in Narnia once again, not in her bed in England. She knew it was just her imagination, and it made her just a little sad. How wonderful would it be if she was actually back in Narnia? Then, the baby would be not only with her, but with Caspian and Caspian would be able to raise their baby with her. She felt the tears begin under her eyelids and slipped a hand to her abdomen to feel the life within her.
She sat up quickly with a gasp of fear when she felt her abdomen was much smaller than it should have been. She tore the blanket away quickly, beginning to sob when she saw that she was no longer pregnant. She looked around wildly and another sob stopped halfway though her throat when she saw the figure in the window. Caspian was standing with his back to her. It had been so long, but she could still read his body language somewhat. He seemed calm, relaxed. His stance was strong and sure. She sobbed his name once, and caught her breath when he turned around and she saw the infant sleeping calmly in his arms.
All of the sudden everything came rushing back to her. Coming back to Narnia, Glenstorm finding her in the woods and bringing her back to the castle, telling Caspian about their baby, the marriage, the birth. She began to sob again in earnest when she realized that everything she had thought was just a wonderful dream was actually real. She was in Narnia, she was married to Caspian, and they would be able to raise their baby together. Their little Caspian. He murmured to her in a language she didn't quite understand as he moved to the bed and sat so that she could take their little one in her arms. She knew it was the Telmarine language and that it was probably the language he had spoken from birth, learning Narnian as he got older, but she couldn't bring herself to concentrate enough to translate it. She could only sob how much she loved him as she took their child and kissed the little face again and again before turning her face to her husband for a kiss.
Caspian took Susan's face gently between his hands when she turned her face to him and pressed his lips to hers gently, angling his head to take the kiss deeper almost immediately. He would never tell her, but they had come so much closer to losing her than he ever wanted to think about again. The healers had come to him, two, perhaps three, hours after he had sent Glenstorm and Moonsong to the How and told him that Susan was dying. Nothing they were doing was bringing her fever down. They did not believe that she would last through the night. They told him that he should say his goodbyes to her because they did not think that she would live long enough even for Queen Lucy's Elixir to arrive. It was as if she had held on long enough to make sure that the babe was delivered safely to Caspian, but could hold on no longer.
Caspian had gone back into the room and pretended again that she was just sleeping. Even as he held her in his arms, felt her fevered face, heard how she was struggling to breathe, he pretended that it was just another winter night and he had come to bed late, after she was already asleep. He'd whispered his love over and over again as her breathing became more and more labored. He'd prayed with all his might that she could hold on just a little longer. In the end he was sure it was a matter of seconds between her death and the moment Glenstorm burst into the room, the cordial in his hands. Caspian had poured a few drops down Susan's throat, waited, and fallen to his knees when she began to breathe more normally and the color returned to her face. She'd woken briefly, but he doubted that she remembered. Then she had fallen back asleep and slept until the morning.
"Hello, my love," she murmured when they pulled away gently and Caspian situated himself more comfortably behind her so that they could observe the beauty and wonder of their child together. Caspian the Eleventh continued to doze, unaware of his young parents' scrutiny. Caspian was still murmuring in his native Telmarine language, but she just smiled at it. It meant that he was comfortable beyond thought with her. He didn't think about the language he spoke to her in. She was catching some of the words now. Love, beautiful, forever. They were all words she had wanted to hear from him more than anything for months. Now that he was with her, she still couldn't quite believe that it was true, despite all evidence to the contrary.
She looked down at their baby boy, smiling as Caspian rested his chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck. She ran her hand over his dark hair, so much more than she had expected an infant to have, cooed over his little fingers and toes, not realizing that she was doing exactly what Caspian had done when the baby was first born. They marveled together over the perfect curve of his nose, the bowed shaped of his lips. Susan turned her head to kiss Caspian once more.
"He really is beautiful," she whispered.
"He's perfect," Caspian spoke in Narnian for the first time and she couldn't help the little laugh of pure joy that bubbled up from somewhere deep within her.
"I never thought I'd see you again. I never thought that we'd be like this, that you'd get to see our child. I love you, Caspian."
"I never stopped loving you, Susan," Caspian rocked his small family gently, "If there is one thing that I have learned about Aslan, it is that he may do things in his own time, but he is never cruel. I don't believe he can be."
"You knew we'd be together again?" There was surprise in her voice.
"No," he smiled and breathed in the fresh scent of her hair, "I thought hat we would be doomed to long for each other all out lives. We would have always felt something missing, but we would have found ways to be happy. Our child changed everything. I don't believe Aslan would have ever forced you to raise him alone or denied me the right and pleasures of helping you to raise him."
"I don't believe he would have done that either," Susan admitted, a little bit of sadness in her voice when she remembered her last conversation with Edmund.
"What is it?" Caspian picked up on the sadness in his wife's voice.
"It just makes me a little sad to realize," she murmured, kissing their son gently on one closed eyelid, then the other, "Edmund will have a life like that. He will never be truly happy away from Narnia."
"Why is that?" Caspian was eager to learn anything about the most mysterious of the kings and queens, the one Susan seemed closest to, but wished talking about it did not make her so sad.
"Edmund's tastes in romantic partners are not acceptable in our world." She was surprised that she admitted something she had never told anyone so easily to Caspian. But, he was her husband, she mused, and the love of her life. Perhaps it followed that she trusted him more than she'd ever trusted anyone else.
It finally struck Caspian that he had never seen Edmund in the company of a woman while he had been in Narnia, and that, at the coronation ball, he had seen him in the gardens with a young man he had assumed Edmund had made friends with. He couldn't imagine how love could be considered wrong if it was true, in any nation, and felt his heart tug just a little for his wife's brother, wishing him joy and love silently.
"We can never know what is in Aslan's plan for each of us," Caspian murmured, pressing his lips to her neck gently once more, "We can only trust that he loves us and only wants us to be happy."
"Yes," Susan smiled, "You're right."
"Of course," And they both laughed, "I'd like to introduce Narnia to their new queen and heir today if you feel well enough."
"I feel fine," Susan beamed, "More than I fine."
"You look radiant," He couldn't resist kissing her again, "I love you."
"I love you," She responded.
Hours later at the ball held in celebration of the new heir, the advisors to the king, human and Narnian alike, watched in happy satisfaction as their king beamed at his new wife and doted on his young son. He never let either of them out of his sight for long, but they assumed that was just because he was still getting used to the fact that they were with him. As he realized they weren't going to disappear he would be less inclined to have to know where they were at every second of every day. Not that Susan seemed to mind the attentiveness of her husband at all. She never seemed happier than when Caspian had his arms around her and they were both looking down at their son as if they couldn't believe that he was there and their very own child.
"Out of the many things Aslan could have given me," Caspian had announced, loud enough for all to hear, just after the meal before the musicians began to play, "He has given me a beautiful son and a woman to love more than my own life, my perfect match. Thou art enough," he kissed his son's forehead, "And thou art enough," he kissed his wife thoroughly, "If there was nothing else," his voice had become a whisper only for his wife, who closed her eyes at the gentle words, "It would still be enough." As the kiss had ended and a spontaneous cheer had gone up from those gathered, the musicians had begun.
The atmosphere of the ball was pure joy with all of the guests wishing the young couple and their child only the best. The king and queen of Archenland had stayed, along with Princess Marin. The young princess and the new queen seemed to get along famously. At the dinner they had sat together and laughed often, especially after Susan had asked Marin how she knew Caspian and she had responded that they had almost been married, but that she hadn't been able to go through with it. Trumpkin had tensed up, hearing that, but had only smiled when Susan had just begun laughing and Marin had joined in. Susan knew it was the truth, he could tell, but chose to see the humor in it, especially when Marin told her of the shocked look on Caspian's face when she had told him that she wouldn't marry him. Marin cooed over the baby, holding him when Caspian asked if he could steal his wife for a dance and everyone could see that the young royal couple and the princess would be life long friends.
"Everything's worked out beautifully," Doctor Cornelius sighed happily, his hands folded over his belly.
"Aslan has a perfect plan for all of us," Trufflehunter, ever faithful, smiled as he surveyed what he had thought would never happen.
Trumpkin just grunted, but couldn't hide the light in his eyes as he watched his king and queen, flush with happiness and a lively dance, taking their son back from Marin, who smiled widely. The entire room cheered when Caspian held him up to the sky.
"It'll do," Trumpkin grunted to himself, under his breath, smiling a secret smile that no one else saw, "It'll do."

Australia Mining Tax Changes to Focus on Iron Ore
Talks starting next week on changes to Australia's planned 30 percent mining tax will focus on when the levy should apply to iron ore production, Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said.
"The question is at what stage in the production line does the taxing point kick in," Ferguson said in a phone interview today. "This is the start of the process" for negotiations.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who clinched a deal with independent lawmakers and a Greens Party member to form a minority government after her Labor Party lost its majority at the Aug. 21 election, is yet to win their support for the levy in the world's biggest shipper of iron ore. Laws intended to go to Parliament late next year will now be subject to negotiation with Gillard's partners.
The government set up a committee, chaired by former BHP Billiton Ltd. chairman Don Argus, to hold talks with the industry about how to implement the levy, including tax breaks for depreciation. The committee holds its first meeting on Sept. 20 and may take until next year to complete its discussions, Ferguson said.
"The government went to the election with a package that represented the outcome of detailed discussions as a compromise and regarded as fair outcome for all sides," Ferguson said. "I'm not seeking to have everything wrapped up by Christmas."
The Greens want the tax raised to the 40 percent levy on resources proposed by Gillard's predecessor, Kevin Rudd, and expanded to include uranium, while independent lawmaker Andrew Wilkie says the watered down levy is "unsatisfactory."
Lower Levy
Gillard pledged in July to set the lower levy that only applies to iron ore and coal in a deal signed with BHP, Rio Tinto Group and Xstrata Plc after talks that excluded smaller miners.
The committee plans to start talks with industry across Australia over the next month and will release a timeline for discussions on Sept. 24. The aim is to "work through any outstanding concerns, providing certainty," Ferguson said.
BHP, Rio and rival coal and iron ore companies will pay A$10.5 billion ($9.8 billion) more in tax in the first two years of the levy from mid-2012, according to government estimates.
"From an industry perspective there's a desire to resolve some of these issues of principles sooner rather than later," Ferguson said. "Don Argus and I will be seeking to discuss the work plan with the transition committee and get on with the job."
Whether the levy applies to the raw resource or value added by the miner is "important in an industry such as magnetite," where the resource is processed into pellets used for steel, Ferguson said. Changing the rate and expanding the levy to other commodities won't happen, he added. Magnetite is a lower grade of iron ore that needs some processing before being shipped.
The committee's other members are Treasury Executive Director of Tax Policy David Parker, ex-Woodside Petroleum Ltd. executive Keith Spence, Energy Resources of Australia Ltd. Chairman David Klingner, Toro Energy Ltd. chair Erica Smyth and Chris Jordan, chairman of KPMG New South Wales.

Color Surnames have different origins and depends what cultural where their born or their descendants like Ireland, Scotland Britain or England, Wales Cornish evenly other origins of europe color surnames Like my Surname "White" is Irish gaelic celtic its means in irish Ban or Bane or Macfaoitigh or MacWhite. I am Half Irish and Half German also White could be German but my Irish whites are not Germans. But Color surnames are Saxon or Celtic names too of Color surnames. My Irish White's or Macfaoitigh's sound very cool and my surname is 50 common surname name in Ireland and 20 common surname in United states.

This is the designated configuration of a product and often describes its main function. Keep in mind that this is a general term that should be used to narrow your product selection down to a subset of products that you can shop through more easily.
This allows you to narrow down the finish you are looking for.
This field allows you to narrow your search results by a selected price range. If you desire to view products only within a certain range you can do so.
There are many materials to choose from, each with their own attributes. Some of the more common materials used in Faucets and Accessories are Brass, Stainless Steel, Metal and Zinc Alloys. These offer excellent corrosion and tarnish resistance while allowing many finish options.
Others found in many fixtures such as Sinks, Tubs, and Toilets are various materials such as Vitreous China, Enameled Steel, Cast Iron, and various Acrylics. A few examples are of materials you will find on FaucetDirect:
-Brass is derived from alloys of copper and zinc in
a solid solution. In comparison to bronze which
is principally an alloy of copper and tin. Despite this
distinction, some types of brasses are called bronzes.
-Stainless Steel is one of the most hygienic surfaces and very easy to clean. The unique surface is non-porous which will not harbor dirt, grime or bacteria. Stainless Steel has a high tolerance to corrosion while offering a useful life expectancy of over 100 years!
-Vitreous China offers a long lasting, sparkling surface that resists scratches, fading, and will provide a long lasting finish.
-Enameled Steel is less expensive but very durable and easy to clean. Enameled Steel is the choice when economy is required.
-Various Acrylics are used for most specialty baths. for its forgiving nature and flexibility. The non-rusting surface also allows the inclusion of whirlpool or therapeutic jets as the material can be easily modified.
Select the style best suited for your home.
The measurement from left to right.
The measurement from front to back.
The spout reach is measured from the center of the mounting hole to the center of the aerator.
Measurement from the deck (mounting surface) to the top of the spout.
Right or Left? How can you tell which is which? Whose right whose left? Its easy- just stand in front of your fixture facing it- if your drain is on the right then you have a right drain placement and visa versa. Your drain placement will be on the save side as the wall where your shower faucet is.

I go this as a sample in my Birchbox. The sample was adequate for several applications. I loved the feel of this going on, and how much a small amount could cover. I have combination/oily skin, however, and the sample was for normal.dry/very dry skin, so I was only able to use it as a special treatment once or twice a week. Any more and I was breaking out.3
I needed a new product to moisturize, and this serum seems to do a good job. A little dab will cover my face and leaves a little to rub into my hands. A great base for starting your day, or a follow-up to washing before bed. My skin feels softer, and that's a nice benefit.
I wear this every single day and I am not really a make-up, moisturizer person. In fact, for awhile I was only wearing coconut oil. This has really helped with my dry skin and with my rosacea/redness in the winter. I highly recommend. It also last forever, so it is worth the cost.5

There is an array of n numbers. One number is repeated n/2 times and other n/2 numbers are distinct.Find the repeated number. (Best soln is o(n) exactly n/2+1 comparisons.)
the main problem here is n/2+1 comparisons. i have two solutions for O(n) but they are taking more than n/2+1 comparisons.
1> divide the numbers of array in groups of three.compare those n/3 groups for any same elements. e.g array is (1 10 3) (4 8 1) (1 1)....so number of comparisons required is 7 which is >n/2+1 i.e 8/2+1=5
2> compare a[i] with a[i+1] and a[i+2] e.g array is 8 10 3 4 1 1 1 1
total 9 comparisons
i appreciate even a little help. thank you
space complexity is O(1).

Configuring Specific Features
Updated: May 3, 2004
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 with SP1
This section describes the various features configured in the common scenarios GPOs.
Roaming User Profiles
A user profile is a group of settings and files that define the user's environment. A profile includes program items, screen colors, network connections, window sizes and positions, and so on. Roaming User Profiles (RUP) enable the server-based storage of user profiles, which means that users can move between computers and see an identical environment. The RUP is downloaded to the user when s/he logs on and, by default, is stored back on the server when the user logs off. This feature is one component of the concept of "free-seating" – the capability for users to roam between computers yet maintain an identical environment.
Scenarios in Which Roaming User Profiles are Used
Due to the order in which logon, profile creation/loading, and the application of GPOs occurs, it is not possible to specify the location of a user profile using Group Policy. For this reason, specifying the user profile location is a distinct and separate step from the application of GPOs. Therefore, to ensure that a user is configured correctly, it is important to move that user into the appropriate OU and, additionally, configure the user object as described below.
The common scenarios leverage Roaming User Profiles as follows:
Used: Lightly Managed, Highly Managed, Multi-User, AppStation, and TaskStation
Optionally Used: Mobile User
Not Used: Kiosk
Roaming User Profiles Configuration Steps
For the purposes of illustration, this document assumes a server named CommonServer is available to store user profiles. The following steps are necessary to create a share for user profiles and configure user accounts appropriately.
On the CommonServer computer, create a folder called profiles.
Share this folder as profiles$.
Set share permissions to Full Control for the Everybody group (security will be enforced by NTFS permissions when the user profile folders are created).
Ensure that caching for this folder is disabled (only use caching for folders where you do not store profiles).
For each account for which Roaming User Profiles is required, set the profile path in the user object to \\CommonServer\profiles$\%user name% (the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in is the most common way to edit this parameter). At the time the user profile is created, the %user name% environment variable will be resolved to the name of the user.
Roaming User Profile Notes
It is a best practice to allow the user-specific accounts (in the Profiles folder) to be automatically created at the time the user profile is first established. This ensures that the appropriate set of NTFS permissions and ownership are set on the folder.
|Roaming User Profiles have their own caching mechanism, which can interfere with Offline Files synchronization and can lead to unexpected behavior and loss of data. Therefore, make sure that caching is disabled for the shares where you store profiles.
Redirected Folders
Folder Redirection allows the contents of a folder in the user's profile to be redirected to a location on the network. For example, you can move My Documents, which is typically part of the user's profile and cached on the local drive, to a folder in the user's home directory on the network. Enabling this feature is useful because the My Documents and Application Data folders often contain large amounts of data. Enabling Folder Redirection helps speed up logon and logoff time because the contents of the redirected folders are not copied along with the rest of the user profile.
In most cases when you use Folder Redirection, you will combine it with Offline Files so that users can access cached copies of the redirected folders when disconnected from the network. In fact, with Windows XP, all redirected folders are also cached locally by default (this is not the case with Windows 2000).
If you have a high volume of users that use a single computer, consider enabling the At logoff, delete local copy of user's offline files Group Policy setting to prevent the local hard drive from filling up with cached files from multiple users. This setting is located under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files.
|You should use this policy setting with caution. If a user has been working offline and has not synchronized their changes, their changes will be lost at logoff when their offline files are deleted.
When you implement Folder Redirection, the destination folders are automatically created, and security is configured on these folders automatically. You can change the security of redirected folders by checking or clearing Grant the user exclusive rights to foldername,which is located in this path: User Configuration\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\foldername - Settings tab.
For example, if you redirect the My Documents folder to \\CommonServer\Docs\%User name%, do not create a User Name folder in advance. If the folder exists in advance and the current user is not the owner of the folder and its contents, the redirection process fails. If the folder does not exist prior to folder redirection, however, it is created and the user is made the owner of that folder. If you use the Create a folder for each user under the root path option in the Target Folder Location dropdown box, Folder Redirection automatically appends %user name% to the root path you specify.
|If you must create the folder in advance, ensure that the user is the owner of the folder and its contents. To change the ownership of a file or folder, use Windows Explorer or the Subinacl.exe utility. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=18341).
|When Group Policy Folder Redirection settings go out of scope, by default, they leave the redirection in place. The Settings tab has an option that allows you to redirect the folders to the local computer; however, avoid using this option. The default setting is the safest because no data is moved when a Folder Redirection policy falls out of scope. Any new Folder Redirection policy then redirects as appropriate.
Scenarios in Which Folder Redirection is Used
The common scenarios leverage Folder Redirection as follows:
My Documents and Application Data Redirection: Lightly Managed, Highly Managed, Mobile, Multi-User, AppStation and TaskStation
None: Kiosk
Redirected Folders Configuration Steps
Because a server name is specified when configuring redirected folders, the GPOs provided with this CommonScenarios.msi do not specify Folder Redirection properties. To fully implement the scenarios in your environment, you must carry out the following steps.
On the CommonServer computer, create a folder called redirected.
Share this folder as redirected$ (the full share name would therefore be \\CommonServer\redirected$).
Set share permissions for the redirected$ share to Full Control for the Everyone group (security will be enforced by NTFS permissions when the user profile folders are created).
For both the Lightly Managed (User) and Highly Managed (User) GPOs, do the following:
In GPMC, right-click the GPO, and then click Edit.
Within the Group Policy Object Editor, go to User Configuration/Windows Settings/Folder Redirection.
Right-click the My Documents node and click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, change the Setting list to Basic – Redirect everyone's folder to the same location.
Leave the Target Folder Location list set to Create a folder for each user under the root path.
Set the Root Path field to \\CommonServer\redirected$, and then click OK. Folder Redirection automatically appends %user name% to the path specified.
Right-click the Desktop node and click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, change the Setting dropdown box to Basic – Redirect everyone's folder to the same location.
Leave the Target Folder Location list set to Create a folder for each user under the root path.
Set the Root Path field to \\CommonServer\redirected$\, and then click OK. Folder Redirection automatically appends %user name% to the path specified.
Close the GPO.
- In GPMC, right-click the GPO, and then click Edit.
Redirected Folders Notes
The steps above ensure that all scenarios – except the Kiosk scenario – implement redirected folders. Because the Kiosk scenario is a child of the Highly Managed scenario, it is necessary to disable the Folder Redirection setting specified in the Highly Managed (User) GPO. This is achieved – through the supplied Kiosk GPOs – by redirecting the appropriate folders back to the local user profile location; this is, in essence, the same as disabling Folder Redirection.
Internet Explorer Configuration
There are two types of Internet Explorer Group Policy settings: the standard Windows registry settings and a collection of registry settings and files used to configure Internet Explorer. The standard settings are located in the Group Policy Object Editor under Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer, and the configuration settings are located in User Configuration\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance.
The Internet Explorer Maintenance settings can be set in two modes: policy mode or preference mode. Policy mode is enforced and automatically resets any settings users might change (if they have the appropriate permissions) when Group Policy is applied.
|Like all registry-based Group Policy settings, Internet Explorer Maintenance policy mode settings reapply only when the GPO changes. Unlike most registry-based Group Policy settings, configuring an Internet Explorer Maintenance setting does not prevent the user from changing that setting.
Preference mode sets initial default values that the user can change, subject to other Group Policy settings that affect the user. The preference settings are only applied again when the administrator makes changes to the preference settings. To allow users to change these preferences, they must be able to access Internet Options on the Tools menu. You allow users access by configuring settings in the Group Policy Object Editor under Computer (or User) Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer.
You cannot use policy and preference modes together in a single GPO. If you need both modes, you must use two separate GPOs. The included scenarios are configured using policy mode, so you might need to create an additional GPO using preference mode for your environment.
Kiosk Scenario Configuration
The Kiosk scenario uses a single account that is a member of the Domain Users group (all new accounts in a domain are added to this group) with no special privileges. To enable the use of this account with no user intervention, the AutoLogon feature is used. At startup, the operating system logs on automatically using the account and password specified in the registry key below.
Kiosk User Account Configuration
The account used by the Kiosk scenario should be configured as follows:
Password never expires
User cannot change password
To configure the account for auto logon, a tool that is part of the Windows XP PowerToys can be used to specify the user name and password. For more information about the PowerToys, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101706.
Specifying the Kiosk Application
The packaged GPOs specify Internet Explorer as the auto launch application for both the TaskStation and Kiosk scenarios. This is handled by enabling the \User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Custom User Interface Group Policy setting. The value used for this policy (for both scenarios) is:
%programfiles%\internet explorer\iexplore.exe –k
This has the result of automatically launching Internet Explorer (in full screen mode because of the –k switch) when a user logs on. In effect, the policy is used to replace Windows Explorer as the shell. By updating the Custom User Interface Group Policy setting, you can dictate the application to be launched in the TaskStation and Kiosk scenarios in your own environment.
Resetting Kiosk Settings to a Default State
In some cases, you might want to reset the Kiosk environment to a known state. Although Kiosk users are prevented from making most changes to a Kiosk-based computer, a few application-specific settings cannot easily be managed by using Group Policy settings. For example, if a user resizes the Internet Explorer window, the window starts up in that size for all subsequent users.
You can use a mandatory user profile to reset the Kiosk settings. To do this, use the following procedure:
Log on to the user account and configure the appropriate settings.
Log off of the user account and then log on as an Administrator.
Copy the profile to a local or network directory and then rename the profile root to OldName.man.
Modify the user object and specify this directory as the profile path.
After you carry out this procedure, if a Kiosk user logs on, the computer settings reflect the settings defined in the mandatory profile.
Disk Maintenance
Applications used on a Kiosk-based computer can write data to the disk drive. To prevent the disk drive from filling up, set a disk quota that leaves at least 100 megabytes (MB) free on the system disk.
You should consider using the disk quota in conjunction with a scheduled script that removes older temporary files each night. If the Kiosk application creates a lot of temporary files, the script might also need to run disk defragmentation to maintain system performance.
Disabling Logoff Capability for Kiosk Users
Kiosk users cannot log off the Kiosk account by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del or by using the Start menu. When the computer starts up, it automatically logs on to the Kiosk account.
|In the Kiosk scenario, Kiosk users are prevented from logging off; however, in the Kiosk GPOs provided with this white paper, logoff capability is enabled because it makes testing easier. Therefore, before deploying the scenario, you need to disable the logoff feature.
A disadvantage of disabling the logoff feature is that an administrator cannot easily log on to the computer. The administrator cannot restart the computer from the console because shutdown and restart are disabled for the kiosk user. To resolve this, you can use one of the following solutions:
Solution 1
Restart the computer by doing one of the following:
Execute a remote restart using shutdown.exe.
Perform a hardware reset or power off of the computer (this solution is not recommended because it could lead to data loss or system malfunction).
- Execute a remote restart using shutdown.exe.
When the computer restarts, hold down the Shift key to bypass the automatic logon feature and access the standard logon dialog box.
Solution 2
In this option, the logon feature remains enabled. The administrator logs off from the Kiosk account and then holds down the Shift key to bypass the automatic logon feature. The disadvantage to this method is that a user could do the first part of this operation. Although they would be unable to log on, this would leave the logon dialog box displayed and render the Kiosk computer unusable until it is restarted.

The best & worst sustainable seafood supermarkets
Filets on display. SOURCE: AP/Brian Branch-Price
Last week in this space we broke down the sustainability of fast food fish. As it turns out, sustainability is perhaps more prevalent at the drive-thru than it is on a white tablecloth at a high-end restaurant.
But what about the supermarket with its endless glass doors keeping Mrs. Paul's and Gorton's in their blissful deep freeze and its fish counters of artful displays of tuna steaks, shrimp of every conceivable size, and pink filets of salmon glistening 'neath the fluorescents? Is it safe to dip into these waters? Michael Conathan has the story.
Increasing seafood sustainability mostly focuses on consumers, but the buying power of vast chain stores makes them a primary target for establishing sustainable practices. After all, a company with billions of dollars in annual sales can afford to hire people to investigate the finer points of a complex issue like seafood sustainability, while the average Joe shopper doesn't have the time.
Consumers must ultimately take responsibility for their purchases, but it's a whole lot easier if we can pick a retail outlet that already made the good decisions for us.
Fortunately, much of the seafood in the freezer section is already fairly high on the sustainable scale. Both Gorton's and Mrs. Paul's use pollock in their fish sticks and non-species-specific "filets." The U.S. pollock fishery, as discussed in last week's column, is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council. Worth noting, however, is that foreign pollock fisheries are not certified, so make sure what you buy is labeled "product of USA."
In addition, many national supermarket chains have taken significant steps to make their seafood counters more sustainable in recent years. This helped take the pressure off consumers and fish stocks. The movement encompassed upscale organics such as Whole Foods and has been embraced by many massive chains not at the top of anyone's most-likely list.
Since 2008, Greenpeace has been producing an annual report ranking 20 of the nation's largest supermarket chains on sustainability. The report does not disclose the metrics used to assign the oddly detailed scores (the top-ranked chain, Safeway, received an arcane grade of 64.61 out of 100). But the takeaway here is that there's marked improvement in supermarket policies on product sustainability in recent years. Not a single chain received a passing grade of 40 or above in the first report. Fully half of the chains eked past the threshold last year. And 15 out of 20 stores made the cut in 2011.
This includes even unlikely suspects such as Target, which ranked second, Costco, and Walmart.
Greenpeace recognizes stores that support particular initiatives, including ending distribution of clearly unsustainable species such as orange roughy (a.k.a. slimehead) and prioritizing conservation measures in Antarctica's Ross Sea. It also rates retailers on more general policies such as:
- Prioritizing species that minimize environmental damage and bycatch of nontarget species
- Increasing transparency throughout the distribution chain to ensure fish are not sourced from illegal, unreported, and unregulated fisheries
- Supporting policy changes including establishment of marine protected areas
- Removing unsustainable species from inventories
The New England Aquarium has also been working with major seafood retailers for over a decade, and it's been instrumental in developing sustainability practices at Ahold Supermarkets, which operates stores under the names Giant, Martin's, and Stop-and-Shop, at seafood outlets such as Darden Restaurants (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and others), and with major frozen retailers like Gorton's.
Greenpeace's top five sustainable seafood supermarkets
1. Safeway (a.k.a. Pavillions, Tom Thumb, VONS) – 64.61
2. Target – 63.74 (tie)
2. Wegmans – 63.74 (tie)
4. Whole Foods (Wild Oats) – 61.77
5. Ahold (Stop & Shop, Giant, Martin's) – 59.22
Greenpeace's bottom five
20. Meijer – 10.0
19. Winn-Dixie – 11.5
18. Supervalu (a.k.a. Albertson's, Shaw's, Star Market) – 15.0
17. Publix – 21.5
16. Giant Eagle – 32.38
Still, some choices are bound to be better than others even if you're shopping at a top-ranked supermarket. Wallet cards, like those you can get at many aquariums that help you choose ocean-friendly seafood, don't always rank all species in the same categories, and their criteria aren't always ideal. Maine lobster, for example, is one of the most sustainably managed fisheries in the world with virtually no bycatch or gear impact on habitat, and strict enforcement of size limits and protections for egg-bearing females. Yet it only receives a yellow "good alternative" rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program.
If the experts can't even agree, the average consumer's efforts to make sense of the sustainability question can be enough to make you just say "forget it" and go get another package of chicken breasts, a decision which""as University of Washington Professor Ray Hilborn pointed out in a recent New York Times op-ed""comes with its own set of environmental costs.
The fact is, you don't need an advanced degree in environmental science to figure out which fish is going on the table tonight. And I don't know about your local market, but I can't get a cell signal in mine that will let me check one of those handy apps, like the ones from Blue Ocean Institute, Monterey Bay Aquarium, or Safe Seafood.
So here are three key things you can do to make your fish choices more sustainable. Perhaps more importantly, they're things you can remember to do while checking your list, placating your antsy kids, and trying to spend as little time as possible roaming the aisles. They even come in a simple ABC format:
Ask. Distract Junior with a free sample of bread and hummus and flag down the fish monger. Sure, there's a good chance the person behind the counter doesn't know much more about where the products come from than you do. But ask where the fish comes from, how it's caught, and generally whether the store has a sustainability policy. Even if you don't get comprehensive answers, you let the store know that it matters by asking.
Buy American. Fish is required by law to be labeled with its country of origin. Different organizations dicker over the application of the "sustainable" label. But U.S. fisheries are among the best managed in the world, and we have effectively ended overfishing in America. Buying domestic seafood supports U.S. industries, reduces the distance your fish has to travel to get to you plate (in most cases), and ensures your filet is not from an overfished resource.
Cut your portion size. Chef Barton Seaver spoke eloquently about the benefits of relishing seafood in a recent TED lecture. But he explained that you should enjoy less of it and fill the rest of your plate with veggies. It's good for your wallet, good for your waistline, and good for the environment. Spend the money you save on that smaller swordfish steak on a better bottle of wine and savor the opportunity to sample the ocean's bounty today and into the future.
Choosing sustainable seafood can be as complex or as simple as you want to make it. But picking the right store and then remembering these three points will get you a long way down the road to supporting sustainable fisheries.

That's interesting and surprising about Safeway. Does this mean every Safeway is managed this well – I find that hard to believe. My local Safeway insists on selling Atlantic Farmed Salmon, and here on the west coast that means fish farms and the associated problems of sea lice and point source pollution of the waters.
What about cat food? My old cat is finicky, and likes her seafood cat food from a can. I've tried other foods, but she won't eat it. I can't get her to change in her old age. I'd hate to think what bycatch goes into that food!
Terrific paragraph:
"Cut your portion size. Chef Barton Seaver spoke eloquently about the benefits of relishing seafood in a recent TED lecture.

The closer we get to vegan — less meat, less often, more veggies — the better. Open and shut case.
How "sustainable" from a CO2 perspective is that glass of fine red wine from a European or even a California vineyard with all the fossil fuels used for production and distribution compared to a larger portion of swordfish?
At my local farmer's market, there are two fish mongers. One has a wider selection, but uses a fixed gill net. The other has a narrower selection, but they use hook and line. At five dollars a pound, I buy from the hook and line guys.
This is Southern california, so they all have to follow limitations regarding open seasons, locations and the restrictions of their permits.
there is also a guy that sells crabs, but I don't like crabs.
We also avoid foreigh fish, and only buy supermarket fish if they are US caught or grown.
Re: New Enland lobster–Although currently plentiful, It's on "good alternative" list of the Monterey Bay Aquarium because "population status is still weak or unknown" and because of "infrequent accidental entanglement of endangered North Atlantic right whales in lobster fishing gear, or pots is a cause for environmental concern."

Quite literally, the term "philosophy" means, "love of wisdom." In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is much the same. Those who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking, answering, and arguing for their answers to life's most basic questions. To make such a pursuit more systematic academic philosophy is traditionally divided into major areas of study.
At its core the study of metaphysics is the study of the nature of reality, of what exists in the world, what it is like, and how it is ordered. In metaphysics philosophers wrestle with such questions as:
Epistemology is the study of knowledge. It is primarily concerned with what we can know about the world and how we can know it. Typical questions of concern in epistemology are:
The study of ethics often concerns what we ought to do and what it would be best to do. In struggling with this issue, larger questions about what is good and right arise. So, the ethicist attempts to answer such questions as:
Another important aspect of the study of philosophy is the arguments or reasons given for people's answers to these questions. To this end philosophers employ logic to study the nature and structure of arguments. Logicians ask such questions as:
The study of philosophy involves not only forming one's own answers to such questions, but also seeking to understand the way in which people have answered such questions in the past. So, a significant part of philosophy is its history, a history of answers and arguments about these very questions. In studying the history of philosophy one explores the ideas of such historical figures as:
What often motivates the study of philosophy is not merely the answers or arguments themselves but whether or not the arguments are good and the answers are true. Moreover, many of the questions and issues in the various areas of philosophy overlap and in some cases even converge. Thus, philosophical questions arise in almost every discipline. This is why philosophy also encompasses such areas as:
|Philosophy of Law
|Philosophy of Feminism
|Philosophy of Religion
|Philosophy of Science
|Philosophy of Mind
|Philosophy of Literature
|Political Philosophy
|Philosophy of the Arts
|Philosophy of History
|Philosophy of Language

Northern fulmars are found in ocean waters over continental shelves. They are found from the pack ice of Arctic waters to temperate waters. They seem to prefer shelf break habitats (the area where the continental shelf begins to descend towards the sea floor) or areas over the continental slope. They are rarely seen more than 100 km from shore. They breed on rocky cliffs and islands up to 1 km inland, but typically close to the water or coastal. They have occasionally been reported nesting on human structures, like houses in coastal areas.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; polar ; saltwater or marine
Aquatic Biomes: coastal

before XBMC boots up i see the EVOX logo.
midnight club 3 DUB edition messes up the most on me...it usually reboots directly to the XBMC dash (by passes EVOX screen) and sometimes it just freezes. other games that freeze sometimes are Halo2 and Doom3
backed up games that work perfectly:
ninja gaiden
tony hawk underground
brothers in arms
i looked for the evox.ini files everywhere but cannot find them to change the IGR option.
the games where all backed up using dvd2xbox.
the only other thing i could think that it would be is the system clock but i cant find how to set it anywhere in XBMC.
anyone know what else the problem could be? i really hope its not a hardware issue.

Perfect hair color, resistant. Makes the hair shine and the color does not fade.
I've used a ton of hair dyes...been dying my hair various shades of red/burgundy and auburn for the past 7 years and have real good experience with it. This is a good hair color for the value. Its so hard to dye color over color and this one definitely works on dark hair. The color is gorgeous gorgeous!!! My only complaint is that the color is extremely harsh on the scalp. I'm pretty tough from years of coloring and this has been the only hair color that has irritated my head so be careful if you're sensitive skinned.
i was growing my hair out for about three months. was really excited to get this color on but my roots took color where the rest of my (which has been dyed before)did not. so now i have half light pink/purple crayon weirdness hair and half regular dark hair with a small hint of burgundy... and the weeird part is my natural hair color is DARK and it lightened it up wayyyy too much so its hardcore pink. now i have to dye it back before i go to work. so if you have natural hair,dont get this color. i know it was only $5 but now i have to go get it fixed...good lord!
I used this product hoping for a nice burgundy color, but it just looks black. Even when in the sun, it barely has any hints of purple in it.
It doesn't really rinse out well, either. I spent an hour in the shower trying to rinse all the dye out but there was still some on the towel. Even now, after 4 washes there is still dye left.
my hair looks like i put red kool-aid in it , its hideous ! i will never use that color ever again
Bought this because i loved the color on the box but it turned my hair BRIGHT and i mean BRIGHT red when it was supposed to be a burgandy brown so i was disappointed on that. won't purchase again.. good deal on the price though.

Hi there!
I'm using WordPress for a website project where there're some requirements about privacy respect. Thus, I would to encrypt my data user using a AES algorithm. As I'm developing a custom plugin, I have no problem to encrypt my user's sensitive data, because I provide the page that contains the registration for. But the problem is when it comes to display and modifiy these information in the core WordPress' backend. I couldn't find out where and how I could do that... I've looked for this information in the Internet for hours without being able to find it.
I've found this page https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-aes/ where a guy has developed a repo on Google Code, doing (almost) the stuff I want to do, and he tells that he sent a mail to people at WordPress for merging his code into WordPess' core. As that guy did not do a plugin or whatever, it lets me think that it's not possible to modify the reads and writes done from and to the database, from the backend...
Could some one help me about this issue?
Thanks in advance.

While the menus certainly are crisp and attractive, the fancy packaging for this disc -- with a cardboard sleeve that slips over the black case, the later proclaiming this to be the "Collector's Edition" -- would suggest that there'd be more supplemental material included here than there is.
Then again, you hardly need much else when you've got a feature this fucking fantastic; Pat Myne's shooting style is as fluid and eye-popping as it gets, and holy Christ does he know how to make a girl look mouthwatering. not that these particular girls aren't plenty mouthwatering to begin with (this actually is one of the best lineups of teen pussy we've seen in the past year... and we've seen lots), but the outfits Myne puts on them, and the way he just brings them in with his camera brings it to another level. So do your clientele a favor and bring this disc to their attention.

I just found my pubring.gpg and secring.gpg files, which I created for experimenting purposes years ago. I also know, in ascii, my public key. Because I can't remember how I generated my keys and what program I used, I actually don't know how to make use of these files. I remember my passphrase as well.
So, how can I make use of these files? Is there a concise guide for this? Is there a convenient GUI program under windows to handle these?

GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini (file photo)
Sequestration, for all of its downsides, might give the General Services Administration an opportunity to polish its muddied image as agencies look for all possible ways to save money, the agency's leader said March 19.
"This is the time for GSA to demonstrate its worth, and really make amends for things that happened," Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, told a panel of House appropriators. The mud comes primarily from the revelation of a lavish conference that came to light in 2012, prompting then-administrator Martha Johnson to resign.
Dan Tangherlini's full statement
GSA itself is in a "sequestration-free zone," as subcommittee chairman Rep. Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.) described it, because most of its funds come from agencies' rental payments or charges for using its contracting services, via the Industrial Funding Fee, rather than appropriated funds.
Yet Tangherlini said GSA can show its value now as it provides options for what it was created to do in the first place: Push down the cost of services and products through scalable purchases and leases. GSA's mission is to deliver the best value in real estate, acquisition, and technology services. It has also been working to cut costs for agencies on conference and travel expenses. GSA itself announced the cancellation of two summer conferences due to sequestration and budget cuts.
GSA is hunting for money-saving solutions through rent consolidations and bulk buying of products and services through strategic sourcing, which has gained a lot of support among agencies, Tangherlini told the House Appropriations Committee's Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee during an oversight hearing.
Tangherlini said that agency leaders have been cordial to him since he became acting GSA administrator, but now that is changing. Because agency interest in learning all of their options for reducing spending with minimal mission impact, "I have to say I'm pretty enthusiastically received right now," he said.

We flew into Monterrey on Dec. 21st and rode in a taxi from the airport to La Posada at El Potrero Chico (EPC). The drive time was about 45 minutes. This is our first view of EPC on the drive there. The climbing is concentrated in the notch canyon just right of center in the photo.
We got settled into our campsite at La Posada straight away. It cost us $5 per night per person at La Posada which includes hot showers, use of a kitchen with refrigerator and all the other kitchenly amenities you'd need and free wi-fi. Luis, the 30 year-old owner, is a great guy and runs an excellent operation.
View of the bathroom and showers.
We then set off into town to get some groceries. The area called The Front Side of EPC is visible behind us and the canyon to the left is where most of the climbing is located.
The distance to the nearest town, Hidalgo, is about two miles. We started out on foot but caught a ride with Tami Wright, owner of Tami's Cafe at EPC, a great little coffee shop/cafe right next to La Posada. Once in town we headed straight to the ATM to get some pesos. The exchange rate was roughly 10 pesos to one USD.
There are two main grocery stores in Hidalgo. One near the central plaza and one closer to EPC near the cement plant. We hit them both before walking back to EPC.
Our first dinner was at the always delicious, Checo's, across the street from La Posada. Caguama beers (40s) cost $2.50 USD and dinner entrees were about $3.50 USD. The Chicken Mole special was delicious.
The main entrance to EPC the next day. The walk to the climbing from La Posada was about ten minutes! Bill and I had been here before in 2002 and were excited to break Allison in big time the first day by climbing the classic 12 pitch route, Space Boyz, 5.10d.
Our first route of the entire trip was Space Boyz, 5.10d, 12 pitches. It follows the obvious line in the center of the photo to the summit of the point seen here. Allison would get broken into EPC in a big way!
We got on the route at 7:30am with Allison leading the first pitch. With all bolted anchors, EPC is the ideal place for belaying two seconds simultaneously using an auto-blocking belay device like the Reverso or ATC-Guide. We made very good time even as a group of three in this fashion. Clipping into the belay anchors with adjustable daisys or PAS allowed us to untie and easily switch the leader too.
Looking up the second pitch of Space Boyz.
Allison, with Bill close behind, seconds pitch 3.
Looking down P3 with the pavillion down at the base.
Allison seconding pitch 4 or thereabouts
I led pitch 6 which is considered one of the crux pitches. It traverses right from the belay and then goes up these two corner systems. Great exposure and great climbing. Bill led P7 after this which is the second crux pitch and, in my opinion, a bit harder than P6.
I linked P8 and P9 by skipping bolts to conserve quick draws. This is looking down P8 and P9. Note the cleared lines of vegetation to both sides of us. These are the other routes. It takes quite a bit of work to clear a route at EPC.
More P8 and P9 action.
Bill linked the last pitches to the summit. We're about to top out here.
Summit time! We're about 1200' up and there's about another 1200' above our mini-summit here. Huge walls! The summit register box was broken and empty, though.
Rapping down. Even though we had two 60m ropes, it's much easier to rap on one line because all the vegetation has a tendancy to snag ropes. The less rope you have to pull, the better.
Final rap to the ground. Note our packs hanging on the second bolt up the route. This is good to do to let others know you're on the route and to prevent theft.
The second day we climbed at the Wonder Wall. This is Allison on the "best 5.8 in the park", Mr. Hanky. It was quite good.
View of the swimming pool complex in the EPC looking out towards Hidalgo.
Bill on lead of "Mr. Hanky"
Next to Mr. Hanky was an unknown, new route with gold hangers. It goes at about 5.10c we think.
Allison topping out on the "new route"
Later that same day we climbed the route, "The Same But Different", 5.10b on the Fin de Semana wall.
Me in my new helmet that I received for Christmas. Thanks Dad!
From the top of "The Same But Different" we accessed the second pitch of "Pepe y Lupe", a fantastic, clean and asthetic corner pitch rated 5.10b. Awesome.
Getting some stemming moves in.
Bill seconding on the second pitch of Pepe Y Lupe.
There's a third pitch, rated 5.7, to "Pepe y Lupe". Bill led it but found only a single bolt and ring at the top so he lowered from it rather than belaying me up to it.
Our friends Don Taylor and Peter McLachlan were also at EPC. This is Don on a 5.11 route on the Mini Super Wall I believe.
Peter on the same route.
Yum! Boiled corn spread with mayo, red chile and cheese from a street vendor in the EPC. So tasty!
Full moon!
Next day we headed to the Spires to climb a bolted 3-pitch off-width chimney route called "Crack Test Dummies". It was OK but not great. It's the obvious off-width line on the left spire in this photo.
Allison starting lead on "Crack Test Dummies" first pitch.
She's in there, look closely.
Bill and I followed in the double ropes. As it turns out, sandstone off-width is way better than limestone off-width.
I led the second pitch and then Bill led the third pitch, a shorty to the summit!
From there we headed to the busy Mota Wall (a.k.a. Lower Sense of Religion Wall) to climb routes Tlaloc (5.10b), All Fun & Games (5.10b), Juggalo (5.11a) and Cactus Pile (5.7, 5.10, 5.9). This is Bill leading All Fun and Games.
Me leading through the very strenous crux on Juggalo (5.11a)
Allison leading the first pitch (of three) on Cactus Pile (5.7, 5.10, 5.9).
Seconding the second pitch of Cactus Pile.
Allison and I seconding the third pitch of Cactus Pile.
View across the canyon looking at El Toro.
For Christmas Eve dinner we went to Homero's for a big dinner that was supposed to start at 7pm. At 8:30pm, Milton announced food wouldn't be ready until 9:30pm. This was lame so we got our money back and went back to La Posada. However, we did meet a nice couple from ABQ--Eric and Betty--along with another couple from Texas.
The party scene at Homeros just before we left.
So, instead of a fancy Christmas Eve dinner we ended up with Ranch Style beans on corn tortillas with orange juice to wash it all down. :-)
Christmas day we climbed the "mountaineering route" called Dope Ninja, (5.7, 5.10, 5.10b, 5.6, 5.9, 5.7). It has a funky traverse pitch and definitely has a wild feel to it. It was good but cold in the shade and wind all day. This is Bill following P2. (I linked P1 and P2 resulting in huge rope drag!)
Allison following P2 of Dope Ninja
Bill led the 5.10 pitch 3. This is Allison following.
Looking down at Bill and Allison seconding P4, the traverse pitch.
Traversing on P4. Definitely not clean climbing but certainly holding an "alpine feel".
Allison seconding the final pitch to the cool summit of Dope Ninja. For those familiar with the area, the summit of DN is also the same summit of Snott Girlz. DN just climbs the opposite side.
At the top of Dope Ninja in the sun, finally!
Rapping at EPC can suck. This was one of those times.
Me on lead of the fun (and extremely well-bolted) route, Black Cadillac, 5.11b. There's a sweet "bread loaf tufa" about 1/2 way up this route. Neat stuff.
Allison on lead of "Black Cadillac", 5.11b, at the Cat House Wall later that day.
Using the awesome bread loaf tufa left-hand hold. Check it!
Bill's turn to lead Black Cadillac.
Back at La Posada
12/26 was warm and Allison wanted to take a rest day so Bill and I headed out early to climb Pancho Villa Rides Again (5.10, 5.10c, 5.10a, 5.10a, 5.10a) and we did alternate finish on last pitch at 5.11, accidentally. This is Bill seconding the first pitch.
Nice bolted belays everywhere. Ideal for autoblocking.
Bill leading the fourth pitch, a nice corner pitch that would protect nicely with gear but no need! In fact, most of Pancho Villa is great crack climbing that was first led on gear long before the route was bolted.
Topping out on Pancho Villa. I saw separate line of bolts while leading the final pitch and followed them. Turned out this finish is an alternate 5.11 finish. A bit of a surprise when I was expecting 5.10a. :-)
Summit shot.
After climbing Pancho Villa we went back to camp and picked up Allison for some cragging that afternoon in Virgin Canyon. Leading The Popsicle Kings, 5.10a. A fun route.
Bill on The Popsicle Kings.
Leading XL Puff Sneaker, 5.11d. Super thin slab action.
Dinner at La Posada with Don, Bill, Allison and Peter.
Each night after dinner we'd hit the tent at about 8pm and read for a bit. Nice schedule.
12/27 we headed to The Dihedrals for some great crack and corner climbing. We passed by spires on the hike in.
This is The Dihedrals area right next to the Surf Bowl.
We all led a great route called Dead Man Walking, 5.9.
Next to Dead Man Walking was a route that is one of my favorites at EPC--The Texas Tumble. The first pitch, seen here, is a great 5.10d pitch with two parallel cracks that offered awesome stemming, laybacking and jamming.
The second pitch of The Texas Tumble was fun 5.9 slab climbing.
Allison at the top of P1 on The Texas Tumble.
Super clean face route that is an open project still...
After the Dihedrals we climbed this new route in the Surf Bowl called Blue Fin, 5.12a. Poor rock quality down low but it had an awesome tufa handrail at the overhanging finish.
Grabbing the tufas!
Busy day at the Mota Wall as we hiked back from The Dihedrals. Look closely at the lower portion of the wall.
Awesome to see this small fry on lead on the Mota Wall!
To round out the day we climbed a very sustained 5.10b called Baked Fresh Daily. The whole route overhung slightly the entire way but good, positive holds keep the grade reasonable. Pumpy for sure!
Enjoying some downtime at camp. I finally had the time to read the last Harry Potter book!
At the Friday market getting fresh fruit and vegetables.
Lots of cheap toys too!
And fried stuff!
Hamburgesa Especial really has ham on the burger!
Enchilada suizas for Fritzy
Apparently Los Delfines has great seafood dishes but you know I didn't find out! I was glad to see the "y carnes" on the sign. :-)
Walking the streets of Hidalgo
The cement plant is a major landmark near town
We're super romantic, see?
For our last day we climbed the new classic Treasure of the Sierra Madre (5.10, 5.10, 5.10c, 5.9, 5.10c, 5.9, 5.7). Allison started us off with her lead of the first pitch, 5.10.
Looking up the sixth pitch
Leading through the crux of the fifth pitch.
On the airy summit! It afforded a great view of the Potrero.
Group shot of the trip!
But we weren't done yet! Bill and I climbed the three pitch route, Cloud Nine (5.10b, 5.11b, 5.10d). This is Bill following the second pitch. We both agreed the 5.10b first pitch felt harder than the second pitch 5.11b. However, Allison was able to TR the first two pitches and she didn't have any trouble on the first pitch.
Bill leading through the wild rock of the third pitch of Cloud Nine. Interesting formations and smooth rock that really made us think. It was cool!
I was able to belay Allison from the top of the second pitch on Cloud Nine, 5.11b, making for one super long TR!
Allison seconding the second pitch of Cloud Nine.
Had a big night!

Abstract– We have studied 27 KREEP basalt fragments in six thin sections of samples collected from four Apollo 15 stations. Based on local geology and regional remote sensing data, these samples represent KREEP basalt lava flows that lie beneath the younger, local Apollo 15 mare basalts and under other mare flows north of the Apollo 15 site. Some of these rocks were deposited at the site as ejecta from the large craters Aristillus and Autolycus. KREEP basalts in this igneous province have a volume of 103–2 × 104 km3. Mineral and bulk compositional data indicate that the erupted magmas had Mg# [100 × molar Mg/(Mg + Fe)] up to 73, corresponding to orthopyroxene-rich interior source regions with Mg# up to 90. Minor element variations in the parent magmas of the KREEP basalts, inferred from compositions of the most magnesian pyroxene and most calcic plagioclase in each sample, indicate small but significant differences in the concentrations of minor elements and Mg#, reflecting variations in the composition of lower crustal or mantle source regions and/or different amounts of partial melting of those source regions.

Is there simple service to store strings under my key that can be used by bots?
- Simple command line access, automatic posting allowed
- No need to keep some session with the service alive
- I choose the key (so pastebins fail)
- No requirement for registration/authentication (for simplicity)
- The string should be kept for about a month.
I want something like:
$ echo some_data_0x1299C0FF | store_my_string testtest2011
$ retrive_my_string testtest2011
Do you have ideas what should I use for it? I can only think of using IRC somehow (channel topics,
/whowas, ...), but this is too complex for this simple task.
No security is needed: anyone can update my string. The task looks very simple, so I expect the solution to be similarly simple. Expecting something like single simple
curl call.
