After one of the biggest poll jumps (16-10) in the nation, California hopes to continue to click in all three phases of the game. This weekend, the Golden Bears are on the road, playing at much-improved Washington State on Saturday. Cal has won five games in a row, scoring over 40 points in each of those games.
Recapping the Bears
California continued to gel this weekend as the Golden Bears recorded their most impressive win of the season, defeating No. 11 Oregon, 45-24, before a sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium. The Bears were led by junior running back Justin Forsett, who had 163 rushing yards after Marshawn Lynch went down with an injury (he is expected back for this weekend). Nate Longshore completed 14-of-26 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for his first career score. DeSean Jackson had two catches for 77 yards, including a 36-yard TD grab, while also returning a punt 65 yards for a touchdown. Defensively, linebacker Desmond Bishop bagged 10 tackles and a key interception as the Bears held Oregon to just 70 rushing yards (they had entered the game with a Pac-10 leading 227.5 rushing yards per game). Safeties Bernard Hicks and Brandon Hampton each had interceptions as well, to go with eight and six tackles, respectively. The Golden Bears struck early as Hampton intercepted the first pass of the game to set up a short Longshore pass to tight end Craig Stevens. Jackson reeled in his TD at the end of the first quarter and then Longshore scored on a one-yard plunge and Jackson had his punt return score to make it 28-10 at the break. Forsett took over in the second half as the Bears held possession for 22:42 crushing the Ducks' comeback hopes.

A Look at the Cougars
Washington State has already matched last year's victory total as the Cougars have used a stout defense to hold opponents to just 18.2 points and 319.8 yards per game. Pass rushing has been the biggest weapon for WSU, as it leads the nation with 27 sacks in six games. While they have just 26.3 points per game, the Cougars are third in the league in total offense (414.7) and passing offense (252.2). The only blemishes on Washington State's record have come at the hands of No. 3 USC and No. 11 Auburn. Senior Mkristo Bruce, a 6-6, 260-pound defensive end, leads the nation with 10 sacks to go with 36 tackles and an interception. Senior safety Eric Frampton adds a team-best 46 tackles and a pair of interceptions. Offensively, junior quarterback Alex Brink has thrown for 1,334 yards and nine touchdowns while junior receiver Michael Bumpus leads the Pac-10 with 6.67 receptions per game (40 catches for 384 yards). Senior receiver Jason Hill has a team-best five receiving TDs. The Cougars have a trio of running backs - Dwight Tardy (5-11, 212, Fr.), DeMaundry Woolridge (5-9, 229, So.) and Derrell Huston (5-9, 181, Jr.) -combining for 134.8 rushing yards per game.
More Than Four Forties
For the first time in California football history, the Golden Bears have scored 40 or more points five straight times. The Bears had broken 40 points in four straight games on two other occasions. During the 1993 season Cal piled up wins over San Diego State (45-25), Temple (58-0), San Jose State (46-13) and Oregon (42-41). Back in 1920's undefeated season, Cal cruised to victories over the Mare Island Marines (88-0), St. Mary's (127-0), Nevada (79-7) and Utah (63-0).
The Touchdown Touch - DeSean Jackson
Sophomore DeSean Jackson is proving himself to be one of the most potent players in college football. The wise receiver/punt returner has scored a Pac-10 best 10 touchdowns (eight receiving and two on punt returns) in six games this year. For his career, the Long Beach product has scored 18 touchdowns (15 receiving, three on punt returns) in just 17 games. This year, Jackson has 29 receptions for 522 yards after leading the Bears with 38 catches for 601 yards last year. Dating back to last season, over the last eight games, the six-foot speedster has 717 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. He is tied for tops in the nation with receiving touchdowns in eight straight games and also ranks eighth nationally in scoring.
Eight in a Row - DeSean Jackson
With receiving touchdowns in eight straight games, DeSean Jackson is tied for the longest streak in the nation with Rice's Jarett Dillard. The NCAA record is still a long way off as Larry Fitzgerald snared scores in 18 straight games from 2002 to 2003.
Punting is Risky for Cal Foes
Not only has DeSean Jackson established himself as a game-breaking receiver, he is also a serious threat in the punt-return game. On Saturday against Oregon, the sophomore put the game away with a 65-yard return for a touchdown in the second quarter (making the score 28-3). It was Jackson's third career punt-return touchdown, matching California's modern record set by Jemeel Powell from 1999-2002. Bobby Sherman had four punt returns for scores in 1901 and 1902, but two came against non-college opponents.
Passing Fancy - Nate Longshore
Quarterback Nate Longshore has guided California to five straight victories by tallying some fantastic numbers from under center. Over the last five games, the sophomore has completed 91-of-137 passes (66.4%) for 1,325 yards and 17 touchdowns with just four interceptions. His passing efficiency for the last five games is 182.77. In Longshore's first three career Pac-10 games, he is 54-of-82 (65.9%) for 800 yards and 11 scores. For the season, Longshore has a Pac-10 best 169.8 efficiency rating (ninth in the nation).
O-Line Likes Longshore
Despite losing three 2005 starters to the NFL and having two current starters miss games due to injury, the California offensive line is developing into a true strength for the Golden Bears. Oregon came into Saturday's game with 12 sacks in four games, including six in the previous week against Arizona State; the Ducks did not get any on Saturday against Cal. Arizona State had entered week four leading the nation in sacks and the Sun Devils managed just one. The Bears have allowed just seven sacks all season, including only four in the last five games.
Third Down Defense
Oregon came into Saturday's game against California with one of the top third-down conversion rates in the nation at 57.7 percent (30-of-52). However, Cal's defense stepped up, holding the Ducks to just 2-of-10 on third-down conversions. One of those stops by the Golden Bears was a Desmond Bishop interception on third-and-four and another was a forced fumble by Brandon Mebane which led to a Bear touchdown. For the season, Cal ranks third in the Pac-10 in opponent third-down conversion rate at 31.0 percent (22-of-71).
Second Half Control
On Saturday against Oregon, the Golden Bears used their quick-strike offense to build a big first-half lead, then their ball-control attack to foil any chances of a Duck comeback.

Injury Halts Lynch, but Not Cal Running Game
California running back Marshawn Lynch had his four-game streak of 100-yard games snapped by an injury against Oregon, but the Golden Bear rushing attack was not slowed. Junior Justin Forsett carried 27 times for 163 yards to lead a Bear attack which finished with a season-high 235 rushing yards in the 45-24 victory. Lynch finished with just seven carries for 50 yards and is still averaging 7.0 yards per carry. It was Forsett's fifth career 100-yard rushing day while Lynch ranks third all-time with 13 100-yard efforts.
Tailback Triple Threat
Most teams would crumple if their star running back went down with an injury against the No. 11 ranked team in the nation. However, when California lost junior Marshawn Lynch to an ankle injury in the first half on Saturday against Oregon, it turned to junior Justin Forsett, who simply rushed for a team-season-best 163 yards in the victory. And if Forsett was not available, Cal would not have hesitated to insert senior Marcus O'Keith, known as Mo-Deuce by his teammates, into the rotation. California's 'Tailback Triple Threat' has combined for 670 carries, 4,517 yards (6.74 yards per carry), 38 touchdowns and 20 100-yard rushing days. As the prominent Lynch said in the San Francisco Chronicle, 'There's no shadow here. We all are the front-runner, and I would hate for anyone to feel like any of my teammates were in my shadow. It's just not true.'
Ready to Run - Justin Forsett
Junior Justin Forsett is always ready to run for the Golden Bears. On Saturday against Oregon with Marshawn Lynch hampered by an injured ankle, Forsett galloped for 163 yards on 27 carries - the fifth 100-yard effort of his career. Last season, Forsett finished the year with exactly 999 rushing yards, including a career-high 235 yards against New Mexico State. For his career, Forsett has 1,338 rushing yards on 208 carries for an impressive 6.4 yards per carry.
Forceful Follett
In a lineup full of talented linebackers, sophomore Zack Follett, a freshman All-American last season, continues to make noise. In the last three games, the sophomore has 17 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The best game of his young career came against Arizona State when he recorded 10 tackles, including a pair of sacks, to go with a pair of forced fumbles. His previous career-best was five tackles twice last year. Follett's three forced fumbles is tied for the most in the Pac-10 so far this year.
The Killer B's
California safeties Brandon Hampton and Bernard Hicks are forming a formidable duo for the Golden Bears. On Saturday against Oregon, both safeties had interceptions and they combined for 14 tackles. Over the last two games, the pair have 31 tackles and the two interceptions. Hampton had a career-high 10 takedowns against Oregon State on Sept. 30 while Hicks had a career-high eight stops against Oregon on Saturday. Hampton, a former walk-on, is now second on the team in tackles with 37. Hicks, who made his first career start against Oregon State in place of the injured Thomas DeCoud is fourth on the squad with 29 tackles.
Selling Out
For just the fourth time in the last 50 years, California sold out Memorial Stadium for a non-Big Game. The other three sellouts all came against USC (1977, 1979 and 2005). The Golden Bears have sold out the Big Game against Stanford 14 times in the last 50 years.
Don't Blink
Cal has 17 scores this year that have taken less than two minutes. The Golden Bears have had 12 scoring drives that have lasted less than 2:00 as well as three interception returns and two punt returns for touchdowns.
Building the Lead, Maintaining the Lead
California has not piled up giant second-half numbers in its current five-game winning streak, however, the Golden Bears have not needed big stats in the closing halves. Over the last five games, the Bears have built an average halftime-advantage of 22.2 points: 28-10 v. Oregon, 31-3 at Oregon State, 42-14 v. Arizona State, 42-16 v. Portland State and 28-17 v. Minnesota. Cal has an overall advantage of 171-74 in the first half of all of its games this year, while it is out-scoring its opponents 66-52 in the second half.
Low Key Lynch
Tailback Marshawn Lynch has quietly gone about his business on the field this season. Despite missing more than half of the Oregon game due to injury, the junior has 605 rushing yards in six games (a Pac-10 best 100.8 yards per game, 18th nationally) and is averaging 7.0 yards per carry. He also has 12 receptions for 146 yards, including three touchdowns following his two receiving catches on Sept. 30 against Oregon State. Lynch ranks third on the team with 42 points this season. The Oakland product now has 13 career 100-yard rushing games and 2,479 career yards (eighth all-time at Cal).
Stockton's Hawkins
Wide receiver Lavelle Hawkins, a product of Stockton, Calif., had a solid season in his 2005 debut with the Golden Bears by snaring 18 passes for 171 yards. However, with his strong showing thus far in 2006, Hawkins' 2005 stats look like small change. The 5-11 junior now has 24 receptions for 398 yards in the first six games of 2006. His top performances have come against Minnesota (9 catches for 125 yards) and at Oregon State (6 catches for 128 yards).
Keep Away From Hughes
Senior Daymeion Hughes, who is known by his middle name of Dante, was rated as high as No. 1 among the nation's cornerbacks in the preseason and he is living up to the hype thus far in 2006. The Los Angeles native has been a glove in coverage and ranks third in the nation with five interceptions this season. On Sept. 23 against Arizona State, he added two more pickoffs, returning one 47 yards for a touchdown - the fourth INT return for a TD in his career. The game was Hughes' third career two-interception performance. The Los Angeles product now has 12 career interceptions to climb into a tie for second all-time at Cal. In the Oregon game, Hughes held star receiver Jaison Williams to five catches for 66 yards - Williams had come into the game averaging 115.5 receiving yards per game (second in the nation).
The Tedford Era
Jeff Tedford, now in his fifth year at the helm of the Bears, has quickly brought the program into another 'Golden' Age. The Bears' current four-plus year record of 38-18 (.673) is among the best-ever at California.
Era (Years): Record (Pct.) - Highlights
The Wonder Teams (1920-24): 44-0-4 (.958) - Three National Titles
The Thunder Teams (1937-38): 20-1-1 (.932) - One Championship
Pappy's Boys (1947-52): 53-9 (.855) - Three Rose Bowls
The Tedford Era (2002-current): 38-18 (.679) - Three bowls
Early 90s (1990-93): 30-17 (.638) - Three bowls
Mike White Era (1972-77): 35-30 (.538) - Last conf. title (`75)
Kicking, Not Screaming
California placekicker Tom Schneider is another quiet stat sheet standout for the Golden Bears. Without drawing much attention, Schneider has scored 42 points for the Golden Bears. The native of nearby Walnut Creek connected on a pair of field goals (37 yards and 42 yards) against Oregon State and added a 44-yarder against Oregon on Saturday. He is now a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and 31-of-31 on extra points.
341 Yards - Nate Longshore
Nate Longshore threw for a career-best 341 yards in the Sept. 30 win over Oregon State. It was his second career 300-yard game (the other was exactly 300 against Minnesota). The 341 yards are the 28th-best total in Cal football history and the fifth-best in the Jeff Tedford era (Aaron Rodgers surpassed it three times and Kyle Boller once).
Defense Goes on the Offensive
The Golden Bears had a pair of interception returns for touchdowns on Sept. 23 against Arizona State. Late in the first half, senior cornerback Daymeion Hughes picked off a Rudy Carpenter offering and returned it 47 yards to the end zone. Then in the fourth quarter, Golden Bear senior linebacker Mickey Pimentel put the exclamation point on the win with a 20-yard INT return for paydirt. It is the first time Cal has had two pickoffs returned for TDs since Aug. 31, 2002 against Baylor in the first game of the Jeff Tedford era at California.
Spread the Wealth
With junior tight end Craig Stevens snagging his first two receptions of the season against Arizona State, the Golden Bears have now had 16 different players catch passes this season. Last year for the entire season, the Bears had just 14 players with receptions. The last time Cal had as many as 16 men with catches was 2004 when 18 had receptions. In the Portland State victory alone, Cal had 12 different players catch passes. Dating back to 1997, Cal has had just one game with as many as 10 different receivers catching passes.
More on Longshore
Nate Longshore's totals in the Minnesota game surpassed his career totals entering the game (19-of-31 for 216 yards and one touchdown). In fact, his stats through the first play of the second quarter (9-of-13, 134 yards, 2 TD) had already qualified as his best career game. His first touchdown of the game (to junior Robert Jordan) was his first TD delivery in 371 days and his 300 passing yards marked the first 300-yard game by a Bear QB since Aaron Rodgers threw for 394 yards vs. Virginia Tech in 2003.
50,000 Fans Again
Cal's sellout (72,516) against Oregon marked the 15th straight home game that California has drawn over 50,000 fans. That streak includes every home game in 2004 and 2005 and is even more impressive when compared to the days before the current streak. In the first 13 home games under head coach Jeff Tedford (in 2002 and 2003), Cal attracted over 50,000 fans just twice. The Oregon game was also the eighth game of 60,000+ fans under Tedford, nearly matching the total of nine from the 11 years prior to Tedford's arrival.
Ticket Takers
Since the arrival of Jeff Tedford, California's season ticket count has been on a steady climb. The Bears sold 16,200 season passes in 2002, Tedford's first year. His second season resulted in sales of 22,500. In 2004, the number again jumped substantially, up to a then-school-record 34,100. Last year, California set another mark with 40,134 season tickets sold and again this season, the record has been broken. The official season ticket number for 2006 is 40,262.
Punting Power
Junior-college transfer Andrew Larson has stepped right into the Division I game and shown some serious punting ability for California. The newcomer has punted 22 times for 956 yards - an impressive average of 43.5 yards per punt. However, his net punting is the true measure of his value. Opponents have returned just eight punts for a total of 54 yards, giving Cal a Pac-10 best net-punting mark of 38.3 yards. Last season, with veteran David Lonie handling punting duties, the Bears had a net average of 36.7 yards per punt.
Cal fans and the media can keep up with all the highlights of Marshawn Lynch's junior season by visiting www.Marshawn10.com. The star tailback is a top candidate for numerous awards, including the 2006 Heisman Trophy. The website features highlight video from his first two seasons in Berkeley and will include highlights from each game of the 2006 campaign as the season progresses. Statistics, a complete bio and other information will offer fans and media the opportunity to get to know the running back. In addition, his honors and records and a list of quotes from college football experts, coaches and players from around the nation are available for perusal.
Soon-to-be Graduates
While California does not have any players on the team who have already earned their undergraduate degrees from Cal, 12 players are expected to earn degrees in December: Eric Beegun, Randy Bundy, Andrew Cameron, David Gray, Steve Kelly, Taylor Kunzi, Abu Ma'afala, Tim Mixon, Marcus O'Keith, Erik Robertson, Scott Smith and Byron Storer. Tyler Krieg has his undergraduate degree from Duke and is currently pursuing his master's degree at Cal.
More TV Time
The Oregon game was Cal's first as part of the ESPN on ABC package. It is the fifth different network to televise the Bears this year (Tennessee was on ESPN, Minnesota on TBS, Portland State on Comcast Sports and Arizona State on Fox Sports Net). In addition, UCLA (ABC), USC (ABC) and Stanford (Fox Sports Net) will be televised. The remainder of the games could also be televised. Full broadcast schedules have not been determined.
Non-Conference Wrap-Up
The Portland State game was the final non-league contest of the year for California. The Golden Bears have posted a 15-6 (.714) record against non-Pac-10 foes under head coach Jeff Tedford.
Opening Loss
Despite opening the season with a loss, history has shown success can still follow. The last two conference championship teams at California lost their season openers. In 1975, the Golden Bears fell to Colorado on the road in their opener, but rebounded to finish 8-3 and share the Pac-8 Championship in 1975 behind star running back Chuck Muncie. In 1958, Cal lost to Pacific at home in the opener, but went 6-1 in league play to win the title and advance to the 1959 Rose Bowl behind star Joe Kapp.
Start Me Up
Thirteen different Golden Bears have earned their first career starts in the first four games this year. Redshirt freshmen Cameron Morrah (TE) and Syd'Quan Thompson (CB) were both starters in their first collegiate games at Tennessee, while sophomore Alex Mack (C), senior Bryan Deemer (OG), junior Justin Moye (LB), junior Brandon Hampton (ROV) and junior Thomas DeCoud (FS) also had starting debuts against the Volunteers. In the Minnesota game, redshirt freshman Cody Jones (DL) started at defensive end for the first time. Sophomore offensive tackle Mike Tepper made his starting debut against Portland State. Against Arizona State, junior-college transfer Mike Gibson and senior Mickey Pimentel both made their first career starts, while sophomore Bernard Hicks and true freshman Tyson Alualu each made their starting debuts last weekend against Oregon State.
Bears No. 9 Preseason AP Ranking is Highest Since 1952
California's No. 9 ranking in the 2006 Associated Press Preseason College Football Poll was its highest preseason ranking since the 1952 team was ranked No. 8 in the nation. The No. 9 ranking is the third-highest overall preseason ranking for Cal behind Pappy Waldorf's 1951 and 1952 teams. The 1951 club was ranked No. 5 in the nation in the preseason. This season marks just the 10th year that Cal has held a preseason ranking from the AP, including the current stretch of three straight years. From 1955 to 2003, the Bears appeared just twice in the poll. Under head coach Jeff Tedford, California has been ranked No. 13 (2004), No. 19 (2005) and now No. 9 in AP Preseason Polls.
Cal in Preseason AP Poll
1950: No. 14
1951: No. 5
1952: No. 8
1953: No. 14
1954: No. 12
1976: No. 15
1992: No. 20
2004: No. 13
2005: No. 19
2006: No. 9
Pac-10 Preseason Poll
California was picked to finish second in the Pacific-10 Conference in a preseason poll of West Coast media members who regularly cover the league. It is the third consecutive year that the Golden Bears have been tabbed to finish second, which is the highest that Cal has ever been picked, dating back to 1961. Three-time defending Pac-10 champion USC is the favorite to win the conference. USC garnered 18 of 29 first-place votes in the poll, but California, Oregon and Arizona State also received first-place support.

One Dark Day
It all ended on One Dark Day.
The Gods went silent. The Storms roared to life. The Black Riders came.
For each of the young heroes, the world ended.
But they will survive. They will fight back. They will rebuild.
It all started on One Dark Day.
Welcome to One Dark Day, a Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition campaign run by me, StoryDaddy, in Austin, TX, and slated to begin late July or early August, on a night to be determined by consensus from the group. If you've been invited to the game, welcome, it's about damn time you accepted the invite you ingrates. If you're a visitor, hello! We are a very friendly group of mixed-experience roleplayers with a history in White Wolf, D&D4e, and True D20's Mutants and Masterminds (and a few other systems scattered here and there – GURPS comes to mind). While I'm not looking for a particular number of players, availability, other commitments, and general life-crappiness necessitates that I at least seriously entertain the option of bringing in new blood. So, welcome! I hope you'll give it a look.
Interested in playing? Good. I have some caveats.
This is going to be a fairly non-standard campaign to begin, and will become like your typical hack n' slash, dungeon-filled, exciting pulpy romp through the general fantasy worlds of D&D 4e as time moves forward. To start with, because of story reasons, I'm restricting classes to the primal, martial, and arcane power sources only (and any future power sources that are released), and, if you start with the group, you'll have some (minor) restrictions to your character's life story up to present day. All races but Revenant and Warforged (again, story reasons) are allowed. Still interested? Send me an email (I check it every day) and we can discuss the meat.
For my old players, I'm sure you'll be hearing more and more about this as time goes on.
Good luck!

Last night was our final one at Blachford Lake, and it didn't disappoint. After a slow beginning at 7:30 pm, the lights really got going 3 hours later with a dramatic burst of activity that had everyone outside and gaping skyward. I tried getting some broader landscapes like this one to balance the many detail shots I've gotten this week. This one worked well.
We head home tonight, so this is my last aurora posting for this trip. But in the weeks ahead I will be checking the many useful aurora websites like Spaceweather.com which posts solar activity - the best measure of aurora potential. Keep an eye out for an M-class flare directed towards Earth : a burst of solar energy which almost always results in active auroras. If they are strong enough, the lights may come south of the Canadian border in places.
Anyhow, I hope you've enjoyed this day-by-day account of this aurora trip. We have been extraordinarily lucky with 5 straight nights of clear weather and active auroras. It doesn't always work out this way...
By the way, I am considering leading a couple of aurora photography trips next season - probably centered here in Yellowknife. If you think you might be interested, write to me at kevinschafer.com and I'll provide more details.

May de los Santos used to make laptops and mobile phones at a high-tech Taiwanese electronics factory in Subic Bay free port, near Manila.
She joined the ranks of the laid off as the global financial crisis kicked in, but the 31-year-old has since been training to work as a chambermaid in a local hotel.
"I don't mind going to these classes. I am used to hard work and the hotel industry is the one with demand for workers," she told AFP.
She is one of an army of laid-off workers who are being retrained to meet the demands of the free port, said Severo Pastor, an official of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, the government agency that oversees the enclave.
And these days, he said, that demand is coming from tourism.
Like de los Santos, the port is adapting to the times--transforming from a light industrial zone to a tourism zone and regional logistics hub.
Free port administrator Armand Arreza says Subic's manufacturing future had been in question even before the crisis hit its electronics companies.
For years, low-wage competition from China and Vietnam has been luring companies away and a recent upgrade of Clark, just 75 kilometres (47 miles) from here rendered many of Subic's facilities redundant.
Both Subic and Clark were once US military bases that employed thousands of Filipinos. But a 1992 US military pullout left the Philippines scrambling to find alternative uses for the facilities and jobs for the locals.
Amazingly, Subic adapted swiftly and efficiently, transforming from a naval base into a 13,600-hectare (33,600-acre) free port with an international airport and factories that turned out electronics, garments, shoes, armoured vehicles and medical equipment.
Special "techno-parks" were set up for Taiwanese and Japanese manufacturers.
Federal Express (FedEx) established its Asian courier hub in 1996, using the former base's military airport while South Korea's Hanjin Heavy Industries built a shipyard in 2006 that is now the world's fourth largest.
This year however low-wage rivals abroad and the economic crisis have forced Subic factories to retrench more than 4,000 workers or place them on "forced leave," said Arreza.
FedEx shut its Subic hub in February, moving to China with its larger market and attractive perks.
Arreza said the situation is improving and some workers may be re-hired but he doubts that Subic will ever return to the days of the 1990s.
"Low-cost manufacturing is not the area where Subic is competitive," he said. "Most of our land area is protected forests and protected seas. We don't have any space to accommodate large industrial parks."
Only 4,000 hectares of Subic can be developed compared to 30,000 hectares in nearby Clark.
The future lies in tourism, medical care, ship building and logistics, using the ample space still available for warehouses especially around the largely unused Subic airport, said Arreza.
Hanjin is staying put and companies that require skilled labour may also find it more economical to remain in Subic, he said.
For displaced workers, the government is offering re-training for positions in Subic's tourism industry or even abroad.
Its well-preserved forests, wide seafront and recreational facilities and hotels have always made it popular with tourists and a new highway has made the area even more accessible to day-trippers.
There are no figures on Subic tourist arrivals but Arreza notes that between 8,000 and 10,000 cars of non-free port workers enter Subic everyday, presumably many of them carrying tourists.
Zenaida Pineda, 40, a former electronics worker here, said she now earns as much working as a chambermaid in a Subic hotel as she did at her factory job.
"I like housekeeping more because you can move around, not just stay at your work station. Besides, working on electronics hurt my eyes," she said.
Danny Piano, president of the local chamber of commerce, said, "Subic manufacturers can survive. The Philippines has the capability to do good high-end work," due to workers' better education, communication and English skills.
Subic exported $977.8 million worth of goods last year.
"There needs to be a balance between industry and tourism. After all, this is a free port," Piano said. (Mynardo Macaraig, AFP)

FA charge Carver after half-time melee
Newcastle United have confirmed that the Football Association has charged the club's Assistant Manager John Carver with misconduct.
It comes after the 48-year-old was involved in a half-time fracas during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Wigan. Carver was seen confronting both Latics players and staff in reaction to Callum McManaman's heavy challenge on Magpies defender Massadio Haidara.
The FA has also charged Wigan coach Graham Barrow with misconduct for his role during the incident.
Newcastle confirmed on their official website that Carver has until 4pm on Friday 22nd March to respond to the charge.

1.1 Agree to begin searching for Kafei
Enter the Mayor's Residence at 10:00am on the First Day. Speak to Madame Aroma in the Drawing Room and agree to search for her missing son, Kafei. Madame Aroma will give you Kafei's Mask to help you in your search.
1.2 Speak to Anju and schedule a meeting
Speak to Anju, the woman behind the counter at the Stock Pot Inn, while wearing Kafei's Mask after 2:18pm on the First Day. Anju will then tell you that she has a clue that will aide in your search. However, she doesn't want to talk about it right then; instead, she asks you to meet her in the kitchen of the Stock Pot Inn at 11:30pm.
1.3 Attend the secret meeting with Anju
Meet with Anju in the kitchen of the Stock Pot Inn at 11:30pm, as she requested. If you aren't able to open the front door of the Stock Pot Inn, you can still get inside by using the door on the roof. You need to use the Deku Flower in East Clock Town to reach the roof.
Speak to Anju while wearing Kafei's Mask. She will tell you that she received a letter from Kafei. Anju has prepared a letter to send to Kafei. She asks that you deposit the letter in a mailbox and then meet Kafei on the Second Day because she is too frightened to do it herself. Agree to her request to receive the Letter to Kafei.
1.4 Mail Anju's letter to Kafei
Deposit the Letter to Kafei in any mailbox in Clock Town before 6:00am on the Second Day.
2.1 Meet Kafei in the Curiosity Shop backroom
If you follow the Postman on the Second Day, you can watch him deliver the Letter to Kafei. He delivers it to a young boy wearing a mask at the Laundry Pool just before 4:00pm. After the Postman delivers the letter, follow the boy inside the door at the Laundry Pool.
Once inside, follow the stairs and speak to the mysterious masked kid. He will mention that Anju wrote about you in her letter, and specifically mentions that you are looking for Kafei. He will then ask you to keep a secret. Agree to keep the secret, and the masked boy will reveal himself to be Kafei!
Kafei will then explain plight: he was turned into a child by "a strange imp wearing a mask", but is hiding because the mask he made for the wedding ceremony was stolen by some "prancing man with a grinning face". Kafei will then give you the Pendant of Memories and ask you to deliver it to Anju.
Before you leave, speak with Kafei one more time to learn about the building. He is living in the backroom of the Curiosity Shop so that he can spy into the store to see if the thief shows up.
2.2 Deliver the Pendant of Memories to Anju
Quickly travel back to the Stock Pot Inn and give the Pendant of Memories to Anju. If you don't deliver the Pendant of Memories before 12:00pm on the Third Day, Anju will evacuate Clock Town and you will be unable to proceed. If you deliver the Pendant of Memories in time, Anju will stay in Clock Town and wait for Kafei to return.
3.1 Return to the Curiosity Shop backroom
The door to the Curiosity Shop backroom will unlock again at 1:00pm on the Third Day. Enter the backroom and speak to the Man from Curiosity Shop. He will explain that Kafei saw the thief in the Curiosity Shop on the night of the Second Day; a regular customer named Sakon who lives in Ikana Canyon.
The Man from Curiosity Shop will then give you the Keaton Mask and ask that you deliver the Special Delivery to Mama to Madame Aroma, Kafei's mother.
3.2 Deliver the Special Delivery to Mama
Option 1: Have the Postman deliver the letter
Option 2: Deliver the letter yourself
3.3 Infiltrate Sakon's Hideout
Sakon's Hideout is at the southern end of Ikana Canyon, but the doorway is impenetrable. The only way to get inside is to wait for Sakon to open the door when he returns home. Kafei is already at Ikana Canyon waiting for Sakon to arrive, but he needs your help to successfully infiltrate Sakon's Hideout. Sakon will open the Hideout door at 7:00pm on the Third Day; you need to arrive before that time.
Arriving on time can be a little tricky if you have not activated the owl statue in Ikana Village. If you are able to warp to Ikana Village, use the Song of Soaring to quickly arrive at your destination. If not, you'll have to ride Epona from Clock Town to Ikana Canyon; the Inverted Song of Time is very helpful.
When you reach Sakon's Hideout, you will find Kafei hiding behind a rock nearby. You need to hide behind the rock with Kafei until Sakon arrives. If Sakon sees you, he will run away and you will be unable to infiltrate the Hideout.
When Sakon opens the Hideout, Kafei will run inside; follow him.
Inside Sakon's Hideout, Kafei will immediately locate his mask, but he carelessly steps on a switch as he walks forward to grab it. The switch turns on a conveyor belt that slowly moves the mask toward a hole in the back of the Hideout. You have a limited amount of time to reach the other side of the Hideout and retrieve the mask before it falls out of reach.
For this segment, you will alternate between playing as Link and Kafei. As Link, you defeat enemies to open Kafei's door; as Kafei, you step on switches that change the speed of the conveyor belt and open Link's door.
Retrieve the Sun Mask
After Kafei retrieves his mask, use the Song of Soaring to warp to Clock Town. It will be after midnight on the Third Day; there is very little time left before the Moon falls.
3.4 Witness Kafei and Anju's reunion
Return to the Stock Pot Inn and enter the Employees-Only Room at the top of the stairs. There, Anju will wait for Kafei to arrive.
At 4:00am, Kafei will enter East Clock Town and run into the Stock Pot Inn. He will rush into the Employees-Only room and be reunited with Anju.
Kafei and Anju then exchange vows; Anju's Moon Mask and Kafei's Sun Mask will combine to create the Couple's Mask.
With less than an hour until the Moon crashes into Clock Town, our quest to reunite these two lovers comes to an end. Play the Song of Time to warp back to the Dawn of the First Day.

|Stick Up For Yourself! (Free Spirit Publishing, 1999)
By Gershen Kaufman, Lev Raphael and Pamela Espeland
Stick Up For Yourself! is the ultimate resource for any kid who's ever been picked on at school, bossed around, blamed for things he or she didn't do, or treated unfairly—and for any kid who sometimes feels frustrated, angry, powerless, or scared. Simple words and real-life examples show how children can stick up for themselves with other kids (including bullies and teasers), big sisters and brothers, even grown-ups. Kids learn how to build relationships, become responsible, manage their anger, grow a "feelings vocabulary," make good choices, solve problems, set goals, and "store" happiness and pride. Questions from real kids are paired with answers about how to handle specific situations calmly, confidently, and effectively. A special note to parents and teachers explores the "self-esteem backlash" and explains what self-esteem really is—and why kids today need it more than ever.

Making Their Mark
Architects Built Foundations of Success at MDC
Contending with a painful football injury, Robert Chisholm didn't have much of a career plan in mind when he graduated from high school. So, how did the quarterback come to be one of Miami's most celebrated architects? Miami Dade College put him on his path to success.
"Everybody in my family was an engineer," said Chisholm. Undecided about taking up the family trade, Chisholm spoke to an MDC counselor, who encouraged him to try architecture. It turned out to be a perfect match.
"Natural abilities and talents were revealed that I was totally unaware of," Chisholm said.
He obtained an associate degree at MDC and transferred to the University of Florida's renowned School of Architecture. "I had very good teachers at MDC," he recalled. "When I landed in Gainesville, I was ready to tackle anything." He later went on to earn a master's degree in planning and urban design at the University of Miami.
Chisholm has garnered numerous distinctions, including the naming of a service award in his honor by the Community Partnership for the Homeless, which he chaired for five years and for which he designed two facilities, both of which he did pro bono.
"It does no good for me to create beautiful buildings or relish other accomplishments if I am not first a good human being," he said.
Drafting a New Start
Caridad Hidalgo-Gato had aspired to be an architect ever since grade school in Cuba. But speaking little English upon her arrival to Miami in 1974, the young single mom knew there would be hurdles to overcome. With the backing of MDC, a loving family and unshakeable determination, Hidalgo-Gato was able to shape her own American Dream.
First signing up for essential English classes, Hidalgo-Gato funded her studies with grants obtained through the College and by working for MDC's audio-visual department.
"I would often set up equipment for teachers and find it difficult to communicate because my English was still so limited," recalled Hidalgo-Gato. "But everybody at Miami Dade College made me feel so welcome. Never did any of the staff, the faculty or the students make me feel apart in any way."
Hidalgo-Gato soon launched into core courses to obtain an associate degree with honors, paving the way to bachelor's studies at the University of Miami, where she graduated cum laude.
For the past two decades, Hidalgo-Gato has been the principal of her own firm, KVH Architects, largely handling government contracts. She is also an active member of the Association of Women in Architecture and Engineering (AWAE), which she helped to found.
"Thanks to the start I got at MDC, possibilities opened for me that otherwise would have been out of reach," said Hidalgo-Gato.
Cornerstone of Success
Going to college is an exciting time of rapid change for most people, and notably so for award-winning architect and Miami Dade College alumnus Iñaki Muguruza.
Fresh out of high school, he moved from Venezuela to Miami, where his parents owned a modest apartment. He next set out at MDC to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an architect.
"It was my first time away from home, my first time in a new country, my first time going to college – and studying in a new language," said Muguruza. "There were so many firsts that I think it made me who I am more than anything else."
Professionally, Muguruza has worked for major firms such as Arquitectonica of Miami and New York-based Swanke Hayden Connell. For the past 15 years, he has been a partner in his own firm, Insight Design, winning awards from such prestigious national and global institutions as the American Institute of Architects and the International Interior Design Association.
"MDC was the foundation to practically everything in my life," Muguruza said. "Not only did it teach me the basis of architecture, but it taught me to be a man and be independent."

The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
Greetings to everyone in western Illinois. I'm a hope'n no one stashed their warm clothe'n too far back in the closet for summer storage such that they were unable to retrieve the necessary protection for the cooler weather we've been a have'n.
Frost forecasts, prior to yer read'n this column, hustled everyone on top of the situation to provide cover for vulnerable plants.
Previously, I warned ya about the danger of eat'n frosted rhubarb. Be sure to keep that warn'n in mind.
How's ever one doin' with asparagus thus far? Records prove asparagus was one of the first vegetables humans ever cultivated.
Ancient Greeks and Romans used it fer medicinal purposes, and believed it was a cure-all for almost any ailment.
It spread throughout Europe when the conquering Romans brought it to other countries. In Europe it was first popular as an ornamental because of it's ferny foliage. From Europe, asparagus was brought to American colonies and since then it has become a part of spring in our country, grow'n both in gardens and in the wild.
It is a significant cash crop in some parts of the United States. In other areas it grows wild and is picked by folk who frequently have mapped and await its arrival.
Asparagus is considered a powerhouse among vegetables because it's packed with a more complete balance of nutrients than any other.
It's full of vitamins and minerals, iron, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and folic acid. High in fiber and low in calories and carbohydrates, asparagus is definitely a must fer my home garden.
If'n you partake in asparagus and a recommended daily dose of two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with a glass of water, you will definitely be in tune with ancient remedies for a healthier life.
With much of the corn planted or replanted and sprout'n thru the ground with last week's warmer weather, many folk are a feel'n much better than before the warm weather came.
Even the USDA and other fortune tellers with their supposedly infallible crystal balls and other remarkable fortune cookies, are predict'n a good crop come this fall and invariably lower prices.
I like'n them early forecast'n -price break'n demons against decent prices for the farmer-to a NASCAR race.
Those folk who race fer NASCAR, or Indy, or even over in West Burlington, put together the best car they can afford and make it ready to win the next race.
But what do ya know, the best car is only part of the equation to win a race. Oft times, the best care does not come in first.
A lot of winnin' a race, after ya have a good car, depends on other factors. Races can be determined by pit crew performances, the competition of other drives, the weather, the track, etc, etc.
Well, my friends, a similar comparison can be made of a timely planted crop. How much of it was planted when the soil was less than ideal, for example to wet, to cloddy, too compacted, etc, etc?
The weather from here on out, affects crop size for sure. All the future unknowns of too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet, affects yields as summer develops.
Extreme heat at pollination time affects yields. Not everyone chooses the same high yield'n hybrid seed, fertilizer program, or weed control program, which all can affect yields.
Strong winds, early frost, and early snow at harvest time can affect yields and combine harvest performance. The list could go on further but I think ya should have gotten my point by now.
Those early forecasters are more certain to be used as a tool to negatively affect prices and/or put huge profits in speculators pockets than they are any propensity fer accuracy at this early stage of the game.
Have'n the best race car and timely plant'n is only a piece of a complex puzzle future success. Don't get suckered by those price minipulations.
Ladder up yer sales and take yer profits in stages. Greedy marketers have no more assurance for a good race than those who only have a good car tied to a bad driver and strong competition.
Write'n about such skullduggery reminds me of another warn'n around these parts.
There is yet be'in reported home break ins whilst folks are away even for short period of time.
I reckon we'll have to think about lock'n our doors but even that don't work in some of the cases.
Be on the lookout for strangers in yer community and what they might be up to.
For sure if'n they aren't aim'in to scout yer place out for future robbery then they's in all probability up to no good for other reasons.
Likely as not, if'n they aren't check'n yer'n house out for future theft, they is probably check'n yer rented land out to determine how high a cash rent to offer yer land owner to put ya outa work.
One theft or the other, both moral thieves are up to no good for sure enough. Chances are, as it is reflected on a bit, that same farmer scout'n out yer land and a try'n to find out yer landlords address may not be a stranger at all, but yer next door farm'n neighbor. Of course, that don't happen in western Illinois, but folk in other parts of the country and across the river should bewares, I've been told.
There's a graduate student do-n studies on badgers in western Illinois and will be place'n scent stations and cameras in various places along road sides. Did ya ever wonder where them badgers has come from?
My neighbor caught a fox in a live trap the other day. Now this neighbor is elderly and been around foxes around these parts all of his life. In recent years the fox population was way low, kinda like coyotes, and turkeys. All of a sudden they shows up in recognizable large numbers.
And, these new fox has a different look to them. Their head, neck, body, and ears is shaped differently than the fox of old was. Many folks around these parts are a wonder'n where the DNR may have imported them from and was it the same territory they brought the coyote and turkey from?
Congratulations to all of this year's graduates. The boys and I wish the best for all of you'ns.
Keep on Smile'n
Catch ya later

I Let The Fear Go And Make Room For More Happiness To Sink In
This Could Be The Longest Title Ever
I have learned when we give up something we make room for something else
Seems simple enough
It took years for me to understand the real meaning
We can't have everything
So spend your time wisely and by all means have lots and lots of fun
Life is not about working for a living
It is about living and working to make all things possible
If I had my life to do over
I would work less and enjoy more because work never gives you the things you need
It chips away from your most precious gift in life called time
Where it is often shed like dog hair
Only to find traces all over the house and we know the dog was here
But when I am not sure or I don't remember
So if we learned anything today
Make every moment count because it makes so much sense
To enjoy all the people that make our loves so special
Without them life really isn't worth a dime
So next time when you go to work and want to work overtime for the extra money
Is it worth it ?
Would you want to spend your last days working away from your family or with your family who loves you unconditionally
I know bills are high and we all need money
Money is never your friend it only fills your wallet that has a hole on both ends
So glad l have re-appeared on your page. l wonder who took me away in the 1st place.
Enjoy your holiday. Don´t forget to be friendly with the Indians.
Words of wisdom. Too bad we don't live each day to the fullest!
´money is never your friend´ How lovely this piece is.
Awesome and beautiful in fact.
Thank you
Dream On,
I loved the comment at the end: "Money is never your friend it only fills your wallet that has a hole on both ends."
Ain't it the truth!
Thanks for the lines, i particularly like you flow and choice of words.
Yeah, we need to let go of fear, worry, anger, guilt, sadness and other stressful emotions. Yes to the power of living in the now. Enjoyed your hub. I like to write about emotional recovery and miracles. Peace and Light...Gary.

Showing the Trask Coliseum side of its personality, UNCW almost pulled another stunner.
Showing the Trask Coliseum side of its personality, UNCW almost pulled another stunner. The Seahawks overcame 11 missed free throws and having their best player on the bench with five fouls to have a shot at upsetting Delaware on Saturday night.
Seahawks guard Chris Dixon drove left off a screen at the top of the key and pulled up for a 15-footer that hit short and missed long. Cedrick Williams' tip-in attempt missed and the Blue Hens escaped with a 79-78 victory to remain tied for second place in the CAA men's basketball standings.
UNCW fell to 10-18 and 5-11 in the CAA and has lost 7 of 9.
"Bottom line is, we had a chance to win the ball game," UNCW coach Buzz Peterson said. "We had a decent look at it there. We didn't screen well off it. That's been an Achilles' heel, and then the free throws, that's the difference in the ball game."
Delaware (16-13, 11-5) rode its talented backcourt combo of CAA-leading scorer Devon Saddler and shifty sophomore Jarvis Threatt.
Saddler scored 24 points and Threatt added 23 on 8-of-12 shooting.
In a game with nine ties and four lead changes in the second half, Delaware went up 79-78 on a Josh Brinkley free throw with 1:07 remaining. He was battling UNCW star Keith Rendleman for a rebound on the play, and the questionable call went against the Seahawks, sending their star to the bench with five fouls.
"We both went up for a rebound. I just happened to get my arm caught in there, and I couldn't get it out," Rendleman said. "I mean I got in there, but that was great acting. Sorry if I'm saying that, but it's great acting."
Dylan Sherwood missed a 3-pointer for UNCW and the Blue Hens used the clock. Saddler missed a 3-pointer from the left corner and Dixon grabbed the rebound on the right side. He raced across halfcourt with the ball, but when he didn't throw ahead to Sherwood under the basket, UNCW coach Buzz Peterson didn't like how the play was developing and called a timeout with 7.2 seconds remaining.
He drew up a play where Williams and Tanner Milson set screens above the top of the key. But the Seahawks' execution was poor.
"If we'd have held them up there, I felt Chris could have turned the corner and whoever was guarding Dylan, I felt Dylan was the guy to hit the shot for us over there," Peterson said. "But Chris turned the corner … I told Chris to put it up early so Ced could come in and Freddie could crash the boards. But we didn't set a good screen. When Threatt got through there, I thought, 'Uh oh.'"
Rendleman was honored for breaking the school's rebounding record before the game and played all out in his penultimate game in Trask. He had 26 points and 12 rebounds, but missed seven of 11 free throws.
"It wasn't so much mentally, it … I was tired. I was missing 'em short," Rendleman said. "That's where I've got to concentrate a little bit better. They kept coming to me and we was getting what we wanted … I've just got to be able to step up and knock them down."
UNCW was 7 of 18 at the free-throw line, while Delaware was 12 of 15.
Dixon added 12 points for UNCW and Freddie Jackson and Cedrick Williams chipped in 11 apiece.
The Seahawks play their final home game at 7 on Wednesday vs. William & Mary.

The Future Of Interactive Post Cards - We Require an App for That
The other day, I was speaking to an innovative entrepreneur which had licensed some of that new technologies which allows for brief video sequences in actual paper magazines. If you haven't noticed them, they are quite distinctive and cool. It's as if the paper comes alive and it plays a quick 10 second video. If you haven't seen this, why not go onto YouTube and appear up this new technology to see a demonstration of how it all functions. Now then, it appears to me that this technology may be extremely good for interactive postcards.
Yes, the postcards would price more when they had been sold, perhaps $.50 much more, but they would inform a distinctive story. Especially if they had been customized, for instance, if you had been on holiday you could take a quick video from your iPhone of you walking across a particular landmark, and then download that file into a postcard printing machine which would print it on the spot. This could be a whole new kiosk type company, maybe a franchise, or perhaps something sold to particular retailers in tourist areas.
Another thought along this line came to my mind while I was brainstorming on this topic would be to send a postcard, a normal postcard which had an iPhone barcode which would allow your relatives that you sent a postcard to, to click on that and go to a web site which would have a fast video of you at that location which represented the postcard. This could be done a quantity of ways, and you as the tourist could take the picture on your intelligent telephone, download it to the website, and push the postcard via to print that barcode onto the back.
Following all, a postcard is a fantastic way to say that you've been someplace, but if your family members members and buddies can actually see you there enjoying yourselves, then that postcard comes to life, that would make it ten times much better. This is why I say we need a future interactive postcard technique, and we need an app for that for all of us high-tech wizards who want to show the world that we have been there, and done that. If you'd like to talk about this with our think tank at a a lot greater level, I do hope you will please send me an e-mail.
postkarten online
Yes, this technologies requirements some much more mental horsepower to define and refine the idea, but I'm sure if we develop it, individuals will purchase it, and the new age of interactive postcards will be ushered in with fantastic delight from travelers both near and far. Please think about all this and believe on it.

As Naughty Dog's Game Director Evan Wells settled in his chair during our meeting with him at Sony's Foster City offices earlier this week, his opening monologue definitely had some impact to it. "This is the end of the trilogy," he said, looking at us straight in the eyes. "We want to make sure that the storyline comes to a strong close and that we tie up all the loose ends from the previous two games before we wrap it up."
To say that he knows how to get your attention from the start would be an understatement.
Last shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo last month in Los Angeles, Jak 3 is easily among the most anticipated games for the PlayStation 2. With its precursors (yes that's a pun) already the recipients of several critical and commercial awards all over the industry, there's a lot to live up to here; especially when considering how cutthroat the market is in terms of sequels. But with the Naughty Dog team already more than seven months into production, and the squad more than familiar with the PlayStation 2's architecture, we don't doubt that they can do it -- particularly after spending a good two hours with the latest build.
"We've made a lot of technical improvements," added Wells before loading up one of the new vehicular levels. "We added all sorts of things to make it look and run better than Jak II did. Cloth dynamics, rag doll physics, bump mapping, and a lot less clipping should put it up there with all the other big games in terms of its presentation." And presentation it has. In the time we spent with it, Jak 3 had plenty of impressive looking aspects to it; from the vast openness of its levels to its sharply improved character models, it's still a very pretty looking game.
But what really helps Jak 3 stand out more than the rest of the crowd is the game's attention to the smaller details; things you wouldn't normally think would hold that much importance until you see them in practice. When Jak heads out into the harsh desert wasteland, for instance, he dons a pair of helpful goggles and a protective scarf to help him brave the brutal elements. Additionally, when Jak moves throughout the environment the completely independent weather system produces the same random climate conditions found inJak II; only this time, Jak's clothing react's to the winds much more realistically thanks to the aforementioned cloth dynamics.
Despite the technical advancements, though, the improvement that stood out most in our mind would have to be the refinement of Jak's level design. As most of you may remember, one of the biggest complaints that fans of the previous game had were that the stages were too confined and uneven. This hitch also played into the fact that Jak II's level of difficulty bounced up and down too drastically in several different areas. But from what we can tell so far, that little problem is now a thing of the past.
"There's a huge war going on in Haven City between the Metal Heads and the Crimson Guard and it's destroyed most of the area," remarked a smiling Wells. "It actually works out pretty well from a design standpoint, because we can destroy most of the city to keep the series moving forward while bringing players a brand new experience. But at the same time, we can still keep them in a familiar place and have links to the previous games to keep everything together. Overall, though, we want people to set foot into Haven City and the Desert Wasteland and be blown away. We want to connect to people on a personal level this time, and I think we're doing that."

Yes. I'm abso-freaking-lutely positive.
Buy my new book 'For Those With Eyes to See' for Kindle (or the Paperback edition when that goes live in the next 24 hours), and tweet the purchase (include @tblackford3 in the tweet so I'll know about it!) by
If you don't have twitter, just leave a comment here. But either way, if you are selected, you will need to forward me a copy of your Amazon confirmation e-mail for the purchase.
Unfortunately, due to shipping costs, I can only offer this to US, Canada, Mexico, and UK residents unless you are willing to pay the shipping costs yourself if you win.
There will also be nine 'runner up' prizes - four chances to win a signed copy of 'Critical Incident' on its own, three to win 'Emergent Pattern,' and two for 'Through the Woods.'
With ten chances to win, and the only cost for entry being grabbing a crazy short story collection for $2.99, you'd be kind of evil not to try!

text: Full_Name: Quanah Gibson-Mount Version: 2.4.x OS: NA URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (126.96.36.199) Both openssl and gnutls support loading CA certs from multiple directories. It would be handy to be able to do this for slapd and the ldap clients. For example, zimbra puts its CA certs in /opt/zimbra/conf/ca, but the system it is installed upon is going to have a different default destination for where its ldap clients look for CA certs. By having support for the multiple paths, the configuration can be adjusted to look in both the system location, and any number of specialized ones.
