The Woman in the Dunes, by celebrated writer and thinker Kobo Abe, combines the essence of myth, suspense and the existential novel.
After missing the last bus home following a day trip to the seashore, an amateur entomologist is offered lodging for the night at the bottom of a vast sand pit. But when he attempts to leave the next morning, he quickly discovers that the locals have other plans. Held captive with seemingly no chance of escape, he is tasked with shoveling back the ever-advancing sand dunes that threaten to destroy the village. His only companion is an odd young woman. Together their fates become intertwined as they work side by side at this Sisyphean task.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This beautiful novel by one of Japan's most important writers is also one of the most strangely terrifying and memorable books you'll ever read. The Woman in the Dunes is the story of an amateur entomologist who wanders alone into a remote seaside village in pursuit of a rare beetle he wants to add to his collection. But the townspeople take him prisoner. They lower him into the sand-pit home of a young widow, a pariah in the poor community, who the villagers have condemned to a life of shoveling back the ever-encroaching dunes that threaten to bury the town. An amazing book.From the Back Cover:
"Abe follows with meticulous precision his hero's constantly shifting physical, emotional and psychological states. He also presents...everyday existence in a sand pit with such compelling realism that these passages serve both to heighten the credibility of the bizarre plot and subtly increase the interior tensions of the novel."
-- The New York Times Book Review
"Some of Kobo Abe's readers will recall Kafka's manipulation of a nightmarish tyranny of the unknown, others Beckett's selection of sites like the sand pit...as a symbol of the undignified human predicament." -- Saturday Review

But just when the girls are settling into their new life, Maude is arrested—and before you can say "jailbreak," the orphaned sisters are back on the run!In the sequel to the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of Maude March, Newbery Honor winner Audrey Couloumbis once again takes on a dizzingly fast, delightfully rowdy, and altogether heartwarming ride through the old west—proving that half the fun of any journey is the getting there.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 5–7
The excitement of the Wild West comes to life in this action-packed sequel to The Misadventures of Maude March (Random, 2005). Orphans Sallie, 12, and Maude, 16, continue their adventures, again traveling west in search of their Uncle Arlen and a place they can call home. Maude is unjustly accused of being a horse thief, bank robber, and murderer, and the two girls and their companion, Joe Harden, barely manage to stay one step ahead of the law as they dash across desert and prairie. Joe is a charmingly hapless con man, and the interaction among these three characters provides lots of humor, especially when Maude's fame produces a bunch of copycat outlaws. Sallie's voice as the "wise innocent" with plenty of colorful language is just right as she sees through the hypocrisy of a delicious array of eccentric characters and repeatedly saves the day for her companions. Descriptive details about medical practices, terrain, railroads, food, towns, forts, etc., are woven seamlessly into the lively story and provide a real feel for the flavor of the Old West and life on the trail. There are a few too many annoying references to unexplained characters and events from the earlier book, but they may encourage readers to go back and catch up with the girls' previous exploits. A satisfying sequel.

Read an Excerpt
They say my sixteen-year-old sister passes for a man and shoots like an outlaw, and I cannot argue it, since she has done both in her day.
Maude has been called a hardened criminal, and of this I must tell you, do not believe it. People say a great many things and only some of them are true.
This afternoon I watched from across the street as my sister was arrested. She made a small figure in her plain dark dress, her arms pulled behind her to cuff her wrists.
"Maude!" I shouted.
She didn't hear my voice over all those so filled with excitement. I felt my blood rush toward my feet, leaving me so dizzy and breathless I nearly sat down. For the crowd only saw my sister as a fugitive from the law, accused of being a horse thief, a bank robber, and a cold-blooded killer.
It'd been five months since we found our lost uncle Arlen and settled into a new life with him in Independence. I had begun to believe she might never be discovered to be the infamous Mad Maude, even though a dream came to me over and over, in which I opened a sack to find oatmeal cookies and two train tickets. I always found the oatmeal cookies tasty, and there was no sense of being short of time to catch a train.
I didn't yell again.
The dream flashed behind my eyes as Maude stepped into the sunlight, head held high, the law on both sides of her gripping her at the elbows. I'd never told my sister about this dream, not even that recent time she tried to talk me out of my determination to be ready for just such an occasion as this.
We were getting dressed for the day ahead of us, which was also my twelfth birthday. "When do you plan to go back to looking like a girl?" she said to me. Unlike my sister, I hadn't yet taken to wearing skirts again. Maude said of course I must, as soon as my hair grew in nicely. So long as I could wield the scissors this fate would not befall me.
"It doesn't matter how you dress, Sallie," Maude said. "They might still find out. Then again, they might not. I'm meanwhile missing the sight of my little sister."
"I'll whisper it into her ear," I said. "See if she don't surprise you one day."
"Doesn't," she said. "Is that a few bristles I see under your nose? Why, it looks like the beginning of a mustache."
"It's a shame I didn't ask your admirer, Mr. Wilburn, for a shaving lesson," I said. "That fellow had mustache material growing out of his ears."
Maude whopped me with her feather pillow and we were occupied with battle for a time. As soon as she wasn't looking, I touched my upper lip to be sure she was teasing.
I had begun to think she might be right about one thing--that we might never need to make a sudden run for it. But past events had impressed upon me how fast things could go wrong, and how different life might be after they did. Because of this, I kept some handy items for life on the trail in a sack in the loft. This meant fewer necessaries than you might guess. A horse and a canteen can get you through most anything.
The heroes in the dime novels I read were always planning ahead this way. Maude did not read much and so didn't appreciate this fact. That sack prompted her to remind me of a Bible story.
Three kings were in the desert and couldn't find water for themselves or their horses. They put their troubles before the prophet Elisha, who said to them what the Lord told him, which was, "Make this valley full of ditches. . . . Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water."
Even though it didn't make good sense to those kings to dig ditches, they did it, and sure enough, a big flood came and filled the ditches with water. Which meant you have to get ready for what you want.
"Or in this case," Maude had said, "don't get ready for what you don't want."
Maybe she was right, for a scant hour after Maude was arrested, I was taking stock and judged myself to be as ready as anyone can be for an event that will spin their lives in an unexpected direction.
My plan, in case of Maude's arrest, had always been to go in like a confused younger brother looking for his sister, arguing a case of they had mistook her for this other one. I had half a chance, for no one appeared to have noticed Maude had a younger sister, let alone an unexpected brother.
Only as I was riding to the sheriff's office, I knew why people resorted to packing a gun--in case that first plan didn't work out the way they hoped it would.
The way I saw it, I might could breach the doorway when there was only one lawman on hand. Then, in case he didn't believe my story of they had the wrong female and release my sister to me, I could try to get the drop on that single fellow.
I could see flaws all over this thinking.
One, Mad Maude and the Black Hankie Bandit, both notorious outlaws, were stuck in the same jailhouse. It might never come a time when only one lawman stood on duty. I could be waiting outside till I took root and sprouted leaves.
Two, once me and Maude were on the run, they would know to watch for her traveling with a boy. We had already been two boys, so they'd watch for that as well. And girls couldn't travel on their own without someone wondering why.
Three, the likelihood of getting myself shot.

Bogota, Jul 19 (EFE).- A regional leader of Colombia's powerful Los Rastrojos crime organization was killed in a police operation in the southwestern province of Valle del Cauca, the government said Friday.
Carlos Enrique Salazar, alias "Negro Guerrero," directed the criminal activities of some 250 men from his base in Garrapatas Canyon, authorities said.
President Juan Manuel Santos announced Salazar's death via Twitter.
"We eliminated - en Riofrio - alias 'Negro Guerrero,' chief of Los Rastrojos, responsible for extortion in the north of Valle," the head of state tweeted.
Los Rastrojos is largely made up of some of the right-wing paramilitaries who declined to demobilize as part of a 2004-2006 peace process with the government.
Salazar, who belonged to a militia operating in the southern border province of Putumayo, was among the paramilitaries who refused to lay down their arms.
Even while ostensibly devoted to battling leftist guerrillas, the militias engaged in drug trafficking, protection rackets, cattle rustling and other crimes.

Often compared to the likes of James Taylor and Don McLean, Australian songwriter and performer Andrew Marshall combines stirring vocals with earthy, acoustic instrumental textures.
Andrew infuses elements of folk, roots and rock into his intimate live shows, drawing in audiences with his creative instrumentation and lyrical storytelling. His use of the didgeridoo is influenced by traditional styles of play and inspired by his travels in the Australian outback.
Andrew has performed shows and festivals around the UK including regular live performances on commercial stations Exeter FM and BBC Radio. He achieved number 1 chart positions on Radio Free South West in July 2008 and February 2009, and was a finalist in the Australian songwriting Musicoz Awards in 2010 and 2012.
Now based in Tasmania, Andrew can be found performing live shows around various parts of the country. He recently escaped the 2011 southern winter with an outback tour around the Kimberley, MacDonnell Ranges, and northern Flinders Ranges.
Andrew is currently recording his second studio album. One of the tracks from the album (unreleased) will soon feature as the soundtrack to an Australian documentary.

By Sgt. Melissa StewartDecember 13, 2012
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- Soldiers of 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI), have a new tool to help them counter the almost constant threat of improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan.
Members of A Company, 3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 3rd BCT, as well as members of combat-arms units in the brigade, convoyed to Range 44 last week to conduct training on the Man Portable Line Charge, a piece of equipment designed to detonate or uncover hidden IEDs.
"In recent operations in Afghanistan, (MPLCs) have been used to breach IED beds, especially when you're out on dismounted patrols," said Capt. Christopher Raisl, commander of A Company, 3rd BSTB.
This is not the first time the Army has supplied Soldiers with such gear. The Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breeching System was designed to be carried between two Soldiers in backpacks and allow for hasty breeching.
"In theory, it will 'sympathetically' detonate the IEDs in the area, or at least uncover the pressure plate," Raisl said. "The only problem with that is that you have to (carry) two 55-pound packs.
"So they came up with this, the MPLC."
The system weighs about 35 pounds and can easily be carried, set up and detonated by one Soldier. It is a rocket-launched explosive system designed to clear an area of other explosives. A Soldier proficient on the MPLC can set up and detonate an explosive in approximately one minute.
"It's practical," said Spc Anthony Gaston, a team leader with A Company, 3rd BSTB. "They really conformed it to the issues we face in Afghanistan."
Gaston said the MPLC sets off pressure plates while searching out IEDs.
"For the challenges we come across, this is perfect," he added.
Some of the Soldiers who went through the training have real-life experience with the MPLC from the brigade's most recent deployment to Kandahar Province in Afghanistan.
"We were on a patrol to the north of (Combat Outpost) Garabohned and there was a (building) we had to go investigate, and there were reports of a heavily IED'd area," said Sgt. Andrew Pemberton, a squad leader with A Company. "We pulled out the MPLC, and we fired it to the back side of the (building). It employed perfectly."
The area Pemberton was patrolling was littered with IEDs. According to his account, the weapon helped him and his fellow Soldiers uncover three "sympathetics," or IEDs that were buried in the road.
A mechanism like the MPLC becomes invaluable to Soldiers needing to move across an area suspected to be full of explosives.
"The weapon has already proven to be a valuable asset to Soldiers in 3rd BCT," Pemberton said.
Soldiers said they realize the value of the MPLC and understand that it could save their lives while deployed.
Both seasoned combat veterans and new Soldiers fresh out of basic training were able to learn from and understand the training they received.
"The instructors seem extraordinarily knowledgeable about the man carried line charge system," Gaston said of the training his company received. "They say it takes about a minute for the average person to set one up, so hopefully, with this training, (my Soldiers) will be down to the minute."
Four MPLCs were fired at the range. After instructors from the Asymmetric Warfare Group demonstrated firing the first MPLC, Soldiers were chosen from the formation to fire the other three.
While everyone could not fire the MPLC, some of the Soldiers at the range said the device is so user-friendly that a Soldier only needs to see it fired to understand how to use it.

Transfer Application
TLU follows a rolling admission policy, which means that an admissions decision is made after the application file is completed by the applicant. A student application is considered complete only after all required documents have been received.
Transfer Application
Application Deadlines
- Fall: August 1
- Spring: January 4
Required Documents
- Application for admission: Common Application(Fall applicants only), Apply Texas Application or TLU web Application
- Essay/Writing Sample
- Official transcript(s) from every institution attended—even if no credit was earned, a transcript is required
- Official high school transcript is required if you have less than 24 transferable hours*, or if you graduated from high school within the past five years (This is a federal requirement.)
- Recommendation letter from someone familiar with your academic background
- Transfer Addendum
*If a transfer applicant has fewer than 15 transferable hours, in addition to the high school transcript, the applicant must submit official SAT or ACT test scores.
Transfer Guidelines
- A maximum of 68 hours may be transferred from community colleges to Texas Lutheran University. For students with more than 68 hours, the 68 hours that best complete the degree plan as of the first semester the student attends TLU will be transferred. No changes may be made to the choice of transferred hours after the student starts classes at TLU.
- Only grades of "C-" or better will transfer. Grades of "D" do not transfer.
- Community college courses may not transfer into TLU as upper-division courses (300-400 level), even though TLU may have an upper-division course with exactly the same name and description. Community college courses may not be used to fulfill the 30-hour upper-division requirement for graduation at TLU. However, the course may be used as a substitute for an upper-division course with an approved substitution form signed by the chair and dean.
- FREX134, Exploring the Arts & Sciences, is required of all students except transfer students entering with 24 or more hours, no more than 12 of which may be earned through dual participation
- Only four hours of Physical Education (Kinesiology) activity will apply to degree requirements.
- Only four hours of Ensemble Music will apply to degree requirements.
Core Courses Guide
At TLU, we want our graduates to achieve a breadth of knowledge in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Toward that end, students need to meet requirements in 9 areas we call the Foundations and Dimensions of Liberal Education. These areas are closely aligned with what other schools call their "core" courses or "basics."
Transfer students like TLU because we are flexible with the kind of courses we will accept as fulfilling these dimensions. Check out the core curriculum crosswalk below—you will see that you have many options when it comes to fulfilling each dimension.
Using the Crosswalk
For example, suppose a student has taken 9 hours of credit, English composition (ENGL1301 and ENGL1302) and a sociology course (SOCI1301). Using the core curriculum crosswalk, you'll see that the 2 English courses fulfill the 6-hour composition dimension, and the sociology course fulfills 3 of the 6 hours required in the social science dimension.
Here's another example: Suppose you are planning to transfer to TLU and you want to select a course that will fulfill the humanities dimension. Examine the humanities portion of the core curriculum crosswalk. You will see that the humanities dimension requires 6 hours (2 courses) from different disciplines. Any of the courses listed in that section will fulfill the requirement. You can pick from a multitude of history, communication, speech, geography, English literature, and philosophy courses.
Texas Lutheran University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities. The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the non-discrimination policies: Dr. Bernadette Buchanan, Title IX Coordinator, 830-372-8060. TLU's Title IX policies are outlined at www.tlu.edu/titleix.
For further information on notice of non-discrimination, visit http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/CFAPPS/OCR/contactus.cfm for the address and phone number of the office that serves your area, or call 1-800-421-3481.

Overall , my stay was good . A few small complaints though . First being next to freeway is very noisy . Second I guess you you would categorize as construction/fit n finish , carpet in the room was not installed well , drawer near window was "fixed" with metal bracket rather than fixed properly .

Giant Is Epic, Damn It!
I was reprimanded recently for misusing the word "epic". I said something to the effect that my Buffalo wings were epic, and my dining companion pointed out that my Buffalo wings were not in any, way, shape or form related to long-form poetry and that if Homer (the poet, not the Simpson) knew that the word was being so egregiously misappropriated, he would roll over in his tomb (or urn, or whatever). Noted. Most of us know it's not correct to give something mundane an epic quality, but it's fun to say until you realize how lame it truly is. And you do, of course, realize it's totally lame when you Google it and see Urban Dictionary proclaim that anyone using the term inappropriately is an epic asshole. Now chastised and enlightened, I tread lightly when I use the word. Luckily, I feel relatively comfortable using the word to describe the Dallas Theater Center's musical production Giant. Obviously, if you've read the novel or seen the classic film, you already know that it is a beast of a story -- covering two generations of conflict and social change. The musical version is broken into three acts and will require that you devote your entire evening to the Benedict family and all of their drama. But the payoff -- a melodic score and some of the most memorable Texas characters to ever darken a stage — is, indeed, epic. Giant runs at the Wyly Theater in the AT&T Performing Arts Center, 2400 Flora St., from January 18 through February 19. Tickets are $15 to $165, and may be purchased online by visiting dallastheatercenter.org.
Tuesdays-Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Jan. 18. Continues through Feb. 19, 2012

I've got AutoNav 1.49a installed. I am trying out the NextGEN Gallery plugin, which is the most popular gallery in the WordPress world, and one of the most popular plugins period.
The AutoNav changelog says,
"New filters for extensions like NextGEN Gallery thumbnail support, and for taxonomy-images plugin. These are then implemented in auxiliary plugins, or theme files."
So, how exactly do I get AutoNav to display thumbnails from NextGEN galleries? Where is this "auxilliary plugin" you mention, does it exist?

Skip to comments.CNN: BHO to be in Press Briefing Room in 5 mins. (developing)
Posted on 07/22/2011 3:12:29 PM PDT by STARWISE
Very short notice, but per Woofie, no info as to the subject matter, but he will be in the Briefing Room.
God bless and save America.
It's Friday afternoon late .. gays, debt ceiling.
CNN reporterette: allegedly offer was made to Boehner, and the ball is in his court .. awaiting answer.
Stalement over taxes and how they will be worked out.
One of the Dem topics: during various stages, at different points, Pubbies walked away from what the Dems considered near deals. (Sure)
A lot of tension on both sides.
Awww, we get to see his arrogant mug again. A dose of Dear Reader to start the weekend.
Obama to Speak After Boehner Breaks Off Debt Talks
How fascinating.
The Apocalypse is coming!
Expected in five minutes? That means a half hour.
Chris Wallace on Fox just said Boehner broke off talks with Obama and will work with Senate leaders to get something done.
I'm glad. McConnell should do the saem-tell harry and the Dems to do their job—we're done.
This ought to be good.
Blame Boehner.
The gang of six screwed up any deal that could have been made.
Would someone with more willpower that will prevent them from destroying their television watch and report?
sounds like 5 minutes from now might be a good time to take a dump.
He's resigning and going back to Kenya. His village is missing its idiot.
(Hope springs eternal)
I'm out of bricks...
Obama is going to announce that our financial system is near collapse and promises the unemployment rate will stay under 10 percent if his debt plan is passed.
Skroow him. He and the Dems have never presented a budget of their own.
What exactly does the Boy King want now?
whatever it is, it's a lie
A little preening for the end of DADT?
Obama talking BS. Where is his plan? He is trying to use the so called 'bully pulpit'. Hope it backfires
I love it whenever these guys make news.
I guess he wants us all to bend over now...
Evidently someone reprogrammed the teleprompter for an increased space between words. Bovine scat, in easy to understand second grade cadence.
Who does he think will bear the burden of having no deductions ?
Here it comes...Into the principal's office at 11 tomorrow. What a turd.
Obama telling Boehner et. al. what time they need to be at the White Hut? Uh, huh.
Just tuning in to hear him spin some whoppers.
(and CRYBABY!)
His martyr complex is very annoying.
Bite this you tin pot dictator wanna' be!
Sacrifices from people who, like him, have "done well"??? Has he ever earned a dollar in the private sector in his life? And who is HE to order the Senate leaders to the White House?
Lies, lies, and more lies.
This loser is talking about political posturing? What a joke.
Oh joy!
If Boehner refuses to meet, it will be a step in making the commie a lame duck. My problem is this: I think Boehner thinks the debt limit will have to be raised in the end, so I think he will capitulate in the end.
So what happens if those people he has ORDERED to come to the principals office tell him to go fudge himself?
I'd rather hit my hand with a hammer than watch the Jackass in Chief on the boob toob.
Could Congress pass a law that it's a felony to show OBastard's mug on TV?
Cut Cap Balance Period
"His martyr complex is very annoying."
His fugly face is annoying. I think America is really getting sick of seeing him on TV.
Obama Couldn't get a call back from Boehner.
And, he's "been left at the altar several times."
Boehner may just be afraid Barry would do just that.
Boehner *does* seem to think raising it is necessary.
accomplished without raising individual tax rates.
What does this POS think will happen when he takes away deductions. Thaaats right folks you pay more in tax's.
Are we really looking for a compromise? Not if it increases the money I have to send for these people to redistribute the wealth.
Gotta get that shot in at Talk Radio.
Rent free, Rush, rent free.
Tee Hee.
LOL, audio on Fox News went down. However I'm forced to listen to his drivel on CNN. FUBO!
Old saying:
he would pay a nickel to lie, to evade telling the truth.
Beyond a loathesome creature.
I await Boehner's version .. not this gibberish and spin.

Future Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers football games will be played on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the Big Ten announced today.
The third annual Hy-Vee Heroes game will be played on Friday, Nov. 29, 2013 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. It was previously scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 30.
Games in 2014 and beyond will also be played on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is dubbed Black Friday.
This will be the third consecutive year that Iowa and Nebraska meet on Black Friday. Nebraska beat Iowa 20-7 in Lincoln in 2011 and 13-7 in Iowa City in 2012. Nebraska leads the overall series 28-12-3.
"We're excited about playing our annual football game with Nebraska on the Friday after Thanksgiving for a number of reasons," said Gary Barta, UI's director of athletics. "This provides the student-athletes who have already lost the opportunity to spend the holiday at home with their families two days away from football. In addition, the Friday television window provides great exposure for our program. We greatly appreciate the adjustments in schedules that our fans, and those who help us stage the game in Iowa City every other year, will have to make."
Football Schedules
Nice! This is a prime time slot and Iowa would have been foolish to move it to Saturday. I hope they can keep it going beyond 2014.
It said "future" "football games." Since that is plural then I expect that this will be the new status quo into all future years.
I have always thought and said the Big Ten should have a season ending fanfare with half the conference season ending games being played the Friday after Thanksgiving and the other half of the games being played on the Saturday. For Big Ten fans we could see back-to-back-to-back… Big Ten games all weekend. Start with Iowa-Nebraska on Friday morning and end with Michigan-Ohio State on Saturday night. I'd be in heaven.
Looking forward to this. Great exposure for Nebraska, great for Iowa, and great for the Big 10. Don't want to be going up against Michigan-Ohio State, and Nebraska has been playing on Black Friday for over twenty years. It's good to keep these traditions going where we can, even if Black Friday has been glutted by so many games. Last year: http://wp.me/p1ZYxe-Dg
Really the "tradition" is only Nebbies. Iowa's old last game rival for decades was Minny. Now that they have an outdoor stadium, glad that is over. Miserable, arctic cold and wet weather in Twin Cities usually presented itself before the Metrodome era making it more suitable for curling or hockey. Personally, I would prefer round robin BIG games but OSU and UM dictate what everyone else has to do…..create a new "rival". At least czar Delaney won't force that label anymore after this year on Purdue or Iowa like the crossover game was.

BlizzCon 09: Cataclysm zones revealed, detailed
The new World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, was revealed today as you are well aware.
Good thing because the new zones for the expansion have been revealed and detailed as well.
There will be several, apparently, and starting zones Gilneas (Worgen-Alliance) and The Lost Isles (Goblins-Horde) will be level 1-15.
Also, every zone in Azeroth has changes made to it in some form. Some cosmetic, some with monster level changes, and flying mount support all around and even some underwater mounts.
Looks like the Horde has also taken Southshore, ending the battle with the Alliance tucking their tails between their legs.
Loads more over on Shack, with pictures of the new zones.

Am trying out ImageResizer and am looking for a good method to dynamically Authorize user access to images(and other files) based on role, group etc thus restricting image access. I read that ImageResizer support Url Authorization, but unsure to wich extent(only that if i implement it will follow or there are helpers for this). Preferably a soultion that would work with their disk cache module as well. Seen some generic information regarding implementing custom url authorization, but unsure if its just a matter of setting up authorization for the image paths as one would any other resource then let imageresizer work against that. Or if some logic should e connected to imageresizer. Found some nfo here regarding url authorization in general but i guess that im not the first about to implement this combination?
The optimal setup as i see would be a restriction where no files (thumbs, images, cached images or otherwise) would be available online if authentication havent granted access.
So looking for more info / details regarding a sound and decently secure implementation of this, perhaps sample implementation / code of this exists somewhere i havent found?
Edit: Computer Linguist link gave me much of what i was looking for. Two things struck me though. 1. Is there any best practises redarding what should go in a event handler or i can just build a service for this specific purpose and make use of it in the handler? 2. Since this will be triggered for every image i guess that avoid doing direct dbcalls for permission checks(ie try to device a method of caching the permissions for the respective user)? Or the practicle implications of this are usually so small that it doesnt matter? When thinking of it, does User.IsInRole not do direct dbcalls for determining membership?
