"nice place"
I enjoy staying at this hotel, becuase it is situated in a nice downtown area close to many restaurants. The pool area/fitness center is very nice. My only negative comment on this property is that I feel the rooms should or could be updated. Though they're comfortable and clean, I feel for the price there should be some renovations done. Also, I think […] nowadays, wifi should be free. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Downtown hotel"
Overall disappointing, expensive, terrible bar very average service, old decor scruffy. Poor value for money.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Amazing location-in the center of Santiago."
The staff was responsive and curtious. The location fantastic! Easy access to the center, Plaza de las Armas.Genuine Expedia guest review
"$200.00 + per night sweat lodge"
I spent a week at the Crown Plaza in Santiago and battled every day with the air conditioning system. Although it allows you to lower it to as much as 10 C, my system would not lower the temperature past 21 C. This past week was unusually hot in Santiago and the Crown Plaza Staff was contacted several times to try and lower the temperature yet the A/C […] system continued not to lower the temperature to my desired temperature. The final straw was when they decided to cut all power to the hotel rooms, including the A/C from 11:00PM till 4:30AM on Wednesday, December 4th. I was told by the front desk staff that management decided that it would be a good idea to do this during the night when the hotel is full of tired and weary travelers, instead of doing it during the day when hotel guests are out and about. Further aggravating the situation, not all guest were notified of the power outage, myself included. There are many hotels in Santiago which are much more moderately priced and I don't mind paying the higher rate in order to obtain certain creature comforts we are accustomed to in the USA. It is my opinion that during this particular trip, I did not get my money's worth. In the future, I will stay clear of the Crown Plaza during the summer months in Santiago.

Nice hotel. I have stayed many places in Santiago and so far this is the best of the mid-range $$ facilities. Unless you want to get up into the $400 USD and up, stay here.Genuine Expedia guest review
"nice mountain view"
goodGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not what I expected for the price"
It is a good hotel but pricy. You can find better hotels for the sameprice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Fine but a ticked off for checking in!"
The hotel was a large, ordinary, well appointment traditional hotel. The service was fine, it was clean. It took me way too long to check in. They could not find my reservation and seemed a bit ticked off with me for it. They were short, perfunctory and verging on rude with the onus put completely on me to find my reservation in foreign country on the […] spot on my phone without the use of thier internet. When I did find my reservation, jet lagged and tired and showed it to them on my phone, it still took them some phonecalls to confirm it, even though it was there on my phone. Not the best introduction or welcome from them. Once I was there, they seemed nice enough, but it was most off putting to be greated that way. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Crowne Plaza, Santiago in winter"
Very comfortable hotel with all the amenities. Many facilities for business traveler.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Business trip to Santiago"
The Crowne Plaza has been updated and is very nice. The staff and services are very helpful. Unfortunately, the location is in a part of the city where traffic is "murder". Other than that, I would recommend this place highly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Hotel"
It was a bit dissapointing that Internet and breakfast were not included in price. Location was convenient for what I needed to do in Santiago. Having stayed in Santiago several times before, I would probably choose a different alternative next time. Some highlights: Good: - Nearby Bellavista - Close to downtime, but not too close - Close to underground […] train station - Nearby Santa Lucia park Bad: - Area can get nasty if anything happens that make Chileans think they need to concentrate to celebrate. - Internet is surcharged and on a per device basis - Only selected reservations include breakfast Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Functional, Clean & Central- Good Value"
Good if you have business in the area, clean and neat. We were visiting family and stayed in different parts of Santiago and surrounding areas, so this was a functional spot used between more leisurely hotels and thus felt very perfunctory. The surrounding area was loud and dirty, but it was the hotel rooms and services provided good value for the […] price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel for a business or family trip"
Nice hotel, very well located near Bellavista and other touristic attractions. The only problem we had is that I thought breakfast was included in our booking but hotel staff said no and it was difficult to contact expedia and get the problem solved quickly, so we couldn´t have breakfast at the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Home away from home"
Everyone I met at the hotel was very nice. They went out of their way to help.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable hotel in Centro"
The hotel was comfortable and clean. Very convienent and close to metro stops for sight seeing. However, the front desk staff warned us that the area could be a little dangerous at night, but the hotel itself felt secure. Wifi use was annoying-pay by day and only one person/device could access the internet in the room at a time.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Crowne Plaza Santiago"
Great room, great location to see Santiago. The hotel was spotless and the bed linens were top quality. Staff was friendly and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Crowne Plaza Santiago"
I would probably stay here again. A good hotel with large, comfortable, modern rooms. Convenient access to metro (Baquedano station) and Providencia (lots of good restaurants). Very friendly and helpful staff. My only problem was with the room cleaning service. They forgot something every time they made up the room. One time they didn't even leave us […] any towels. However, these problems were rectified in less than 5 minutes after calling the front desk. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We were in the middle of the old city, very well located. One of the best reasons for staying in this hotel is Lillana OIrellana the Front office Supervisor. She made sure all our needs were met and with true professionalism. All the staff were helpful, many not speaking English. We would stay at this hotel in the future.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent hotel overall"
My first trip to Chile & Santiago, hotel very central, restaurant I found had a limited variety of food on the menu so I decided most nights to eat in the bar. Rooms very comfortable and well furnished. WiFi in the rooms choice of free limited use or if you are a heavy user pay a bit for it. Breakfast good choice. Overall a very enjoyable stay and will […] use the hotel again when I return next year. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value for just a little extra to upgrade"
Executive room has great views and very comfortable. Staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. Many speak good English which was a real bonus. Lounge club breakfast and evening drinks and canapés very good value. Pool and gym very good although too hot at lunchtime for us Brits. Location ideal for old historic Santiago areas of lastarria and […] downtown, also to San Cristobal hill and for eating out in bellavista. Short trip on metro to newer Santiago for $2 each to El Golf, Kennedy and Prudentia. Concierge helpful and good recommendation for restaurants and tours to Andes, vineyards and coast towns.

"good place to stay nice & helpful people"
nice place to stay needs some upgrading staff makes the difference not mutch variety @ breakfastGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfectly functional with good staff"
One for business travellers. Functional, efficient / friendly staff, decent breakfast, good gym / massage. Slightly away from the new business centre part of Santiago. Well worth considering if your budget doesn't extend to the well-known global chains. I would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Made us wait 4 hrs in the lobby till a room was readyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The service and quality were excellent. We only had a short stay between flights (1 night, although we happily paid another half rate to stay until 8pm) enabling us to do some sightseeing and have a rest before our midnight flight. We were able to walk to the Artisans markets, to restaurants, and to the "Funicular" cable car up the San Cristobel Mountain […] to the statue of the Virgin Mary, the Chile Zoo, and outstanding views of the city and mountains. There were mini-supermarkets and a pharmacy nearby and it was close to the subway. We had booked on the Executive level so that breakfast was included and this was fantastic. By the time we got up we were the only people in the Executive restaurant which is on the 22nd (top) floor with amazing views. Patrick was our waiter and his English and service were outstanding. The food was great with a good variety and he cooked our eggs to our specific request and preference. Staff were friendly and helpful and although most did not speak English there was always at least one staff member who did so it wasn't too much of a problem. We used the hotel's car service to and from the airport and this was fantastic. Our driver (Reuben, I think, or a Spanish variation of this) was absolutely wonderful although his English was about as non-existent as our Spanish). Although the graffiti and appearance of the local neighbourhood might make you question how good the area was, we felt safe walking around and would definitely go back again.

Good location Restaurants nearby Clean safe areaGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice but not the best value for money"
This hotel was about what you'd expect from the Crowne Plaza. No major issues but the hotel is starting to age and the amenities don't really match the price. Beware that if you travel during winter/spring the pool may not be operating (it wasn't during our stay).Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke great English. Breakfast was a very nice […] buffet. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Central place"
Good hotel. Clean and well-organized lobby. Parking available underground. Room a decent size tho' undistinguished. Hotel is quiet, tho' located in central part of the city near major university. Staff courteous and fluent in English. Buffet breakfast ok but not exciting, and the restaurant itself needs sprucing up. Small mall nearby with a limited […] currency exchange (won't handle travellers cheques, tho hotel will) and a variety store. A marvellous, if colloquial, dining experience nearby, just a block or so, at the Fuente Alemana where delicious sandwiches – try the barros luco – and hot dogs, complete with fine fries (but only before 3pm!) and cold beer, all at a reasonable cost. Nearby a variety of museums, tho' you'll need to take a taxi. A bank machine close by, Santender, tho I did not use it. If willing to walk three blocks, go down to Portugal street to find a supermarket (especially for wine), fruit store, and bakery. Would stay here again (this my second visit) if wanted to be in the centre of the city. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

World Ocean Journal
Have time for a quick survey?
If you've read Vol. 1 of World Ocean Journal we'd appreciate your feedback. The survey will take less than five minutes to complete. Your answers will help us to improve upon our new annual e-magazine, and we appreciate your willingness to be a part of the creative process. THANK YOU.
World Ocean Journal is an annual e-magazine on ocean culture, issues and solutions to today's ocean issues. In this inaugural volume we'll include essays, interviews, art, exhibits and performances which profile some of the vital impacts of the ocean on our lives.
Having trouble viewing the Journal online?
Download a PDF here. (file size: 23 mg)
In the FIRST EDITION of World Ocean Journal (released in January, 2014) you will find:
An excerpt from the introduction to Lincoln Paine's extraordinary new book, The Sea & Civilization, a one volume maritime history of the world, just released by Knopf and sure to be one of the most important publications of its kind in 2014.
A video interview with Dr. Darron Collins, President of the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. He'll talk about the synergistic relationship between the ocean and human ecology, providing a refreshingly optimistic view of the inter-relationship between social conduct and the sustainability of Nature. He will focus on new interdisciplinary alternatives, economic practices, and individual and collection behaviors.
The emphasis on change and revolutionary solutions continues in a conversation with Wendi Goldsmith, founder and CEO of the Bioengineering Group. She and Trisha Badger, Managing Director of the World Ocean Observatory, discuss new engineering practices, ecological design, and innovative restoration projects in coastal wetlands, municipal parks, and inland waterways.
Internationally, you will find a survey of artistic representations of Mami Wata, an African goddess of the sea, by Dr. Henry John Drewal, a colorful portfolio of artistic representations of this sea spirit who has found her way into the material and religious culture of Africa and the African diaspora.
You will hear a live performance of "Visions at Sea" by The Rubens Quartet, a young Dutch chamber ensemble, composed by Joey Roukens and commissioned for the 2013 re-opening of the National Maritime Museum of The Netherlands in Amsterdam.
And you will hear a plea for international consideration of the impacts of climate change and sea level rise on small island nations by Ronnie Jumeau, Seychelles Ambassador to the United Nations and United States, excerpted from a video interview at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2009. Produced by the World Ocean Observatory and Compass Light Productions.
Finally you will see World Ocean Observatory Director Peter Neill's own reflections on "reciprocity" as a rationale and framework for exchange of value and engagement between the ocean and us, between civil society and the natural world that sustains it. This essay was first heard on World Ocean Radio on 2013.
We hope you enjoy this inaugural issue of World Ocean Journal. If you like what you see, please share it with your e-mail contacts, colleagues at work, friends old and new, and other CITIZENS of the OCEAN through your own organizational links and personal connections. Help us by introducing this new tool to everyone you know!
And why not help us evaluate the results? TAKE THIS QUICK SURVEY and/or contact us at [email protected] with your reactions, comments, and suggestions. The next issue will come out in late 2014; we welcome ideas for future content and connections. Thank you for your interest and commitment to the world ocean.

Midwayusa got to gunsmithing and go under ruger then 10/22 probably like a billion accessories.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
~George Washington
I have a factory stainless bull barrel with a custom stock I finished from a ruff blank. Too much work. Bonded to it, can never sell it. Adds a little color to all my black guns.
They are a good gun. Some say other rifles in that cost tier are better shooters for small groups. I in fact prefer a Marlin 39a, or a smaller Browning BL22. Those cost more, but I prefer a lever action. A semi auto wastes ammo, in the thrill of tossing lead.
10/22's can be cool.

On March 5, we posted a blog about a new threat called Trojan.Bayrob that targets users of the eBay auction site and, more specifically, motor auctions. Following further research, we are able to shed some more light on the mechanics of Trojan.Bayrob. As stated previously, this attack is targeted at users who will be highly likely to buy a car on eBay, (e.g. second-hand car sales companies).
In this attack, victims are sent an email about a car that is being offered for sale. The email contains a legitimate slide show program that shows images of the car on offer; however, the email also contains the Trojan.Bayrob file. Below are two examples of what the slide show looks like. While the victim views the slide show, the Trojan is silently being installed in the background.
The email most likely contains two different components that are crucial for the attack to succeed. The email contains a link to a real eBay auction and an executable. This executable is a dropper that drops two files into a temp folder (see note below); one is the legitimate slide show program that displays photos of the car on offer, and the other file is the Trojan.
A typical attack works as follows: the victim receives an email about a car for sale, and he (or she) opens it and runs the attachment – always a bad idea! He sees the photo slideshow of the car, but silently the Trojan has also been dropped and installed. The victim decides he likes the look of the car and clicks on the link to the real eBay auction.
At this point, the Trojan is running in the background and starts intercepting traffic (for more details see the previous blog). If the victim decides to check the feedback for the seller he will be presented with a fake feedback page by the Trojan instead.
This fake feedback page shows great feedback, leading the victim to believe that the seller is genuine and trustworthy. See the screen shots below:
The victim is also presented with other fake information to persuade the victim to buy the car. Based on this fake information, the victim decides to buy. At this point, the attack is almost complete; all the attacker has to do now is wait for the victim to complete the purchase and for the money to arrive.
The good news is that all of the attackers' control sites mentioned in the previous blog have now been taken offline! However, I am sure that the attackers will regroup and set up new servers. Therefore, the usual advice still stands true, i.e. don't run executables from people you don't trust!
The security response team have still not seen this attack in action, as the control servers – which were initially not sending down correct configuration data – have been shut down. The information shown here has been attained via static analysis of the Trojan.
Note: The two temp files are dropped in the "c:\documents and settings\[current user]\local settings\Temp\" folder and are named kvet*.exe. One file is the clean slide show application, and the other is the Trojan.

Sorry, I misread what Jorge wrote. bound does change results, etc. He was just saying that if, to eliminate NAF, you want to get rid of ! bound or OPTIONAL, he much prefers optional. I don't think Axel was suggesting at all that we get ride of the NAF in SPARQL, just that we make it clear and easily accessible via a better syntactic construct. I personally am open to removing it, but believe that if we include it, then there's no point in not making it nicely accessible, and, indeed, some points against not doing so.

"I am deeply, deeply saddened by this senseless horrible tragedy and my heart goes out to his mother and family. Vernon was a great fighter but much more importantly, he was a very special person outside the ring. His charitable efforts are all well-known and documented but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Vernon was a genuinely kind-hearted, caring and supremely principled and loyal human being. I came to know him and love him as a great friend far beyond the realm of boxing. He was the first fighter I became involved with as an advisor and he and I had a special bond from the very beginning. Vernon was a great human being and the world was a better place with him in it. I will always treasure the time we spent together and I will always love him and miss him. May God bless and keep him."

Lōkahi Canoe Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
The club is established to perpetuate and to provide the opportunity to participate in the Hawaiian tradition and culture of outrigger canoe racing.
Our mission is to:
Our recreational paddling program continues year-round and provides an opportunity for you to participate in Hawai'i's official team sport, and to share in the historical and cultural legacy of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling.
Recreational paddling is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5:45pm to about 7:30pm. Competitive Lōkahi members who want to maintain OC6 proficiency and get some additional coaching are welcome to come down for any scheduled practice session. If you want to better your performance next year, then you need to start working out now and you have the option to include off-season paddling in your schedule.
Saturday morning practices start at 7:00am, with canoes in the water at 6:45am. If you want to paddle Saturday morning, plan on being out on the water for 2½ to 3 hours, with at least 2 hours actual paddling time. These practices are more intense than the weekday evening sessions and are not intended for very young or inexperienced paddlers. See Coach Wayne if you have any questions about participating.
Dues for recreational membership are $80 for 6 months from the month you start paddling with us, and entitle you to participate in Lōkahi practices and activities short of HCRA-sanctioned competition. If you join as a recreational paddler and later decide you'd like to compete, we'll apply your payment to the dues for competitive paddling.
If you have not paddled before or if you're just visiting, you can join a weekday practice session for a $10 donation. Check our "Join" page for more information.

This Super Dividend REIT Can't Be Beat
TORONTO ( TheStreet) -- Real estate investment trusts have been a staple in investors portfolios for many years. Their stability and income make them a natural fit for investors desiring both yield and capital appreciation. Too often, however, investors never look beyond their borders to find the "best of the best" investment.
There are multiple reasons why many prefer to stay within the confines of their own borders: differing accounting standards, tax implications, legal/regulatory differences and, at times, the difficulty in monitoring one's positions.
What if you were told that there is a best in class REIT located just north of the United States? Sound appealing? Then if you were told that just about any retail REIT that wants to do business in Canada typically goes to this REIT to get it done, would that be interesting? These are not rhetorical questions, these questions are a roadmap to RioCan REIT (RIOCF.PK in the U.S. or REI in Canada).
RioCan describes itself as "Canada's largest real estate investment trust with a total capitalization of approximately $13 billion as at March 31, 2012. It owns and manages Canada's largest portfolio of shopping centers with ownership interests in a portfolio of 333 retail properties, including 10 under development, containing an aggregate of 80 million square feet including 46 grocery anchored and new format retail centers containing 12 million square feet in the United States through various joint venture arrangements."The five driving factors of REIT performance and stability (those attributes which draw investors into the REIT sector) are:
- Diversity: In order for a REIT to produce consistent results, they must have a diverse portfolio - both geographically and by tenant.
- Occupancy: Occupancy is the life blood of a REIT as tenants create the net operating income and funds from operations.
- Leverage: While it is best for a REIT (or any company) to utilize leverage to increase returns, too much leverage increases the chance of financial distress. With a REIT, consideration must be paid to the use of mortgage debt relative to total debt as encumbered assets do not necessarily add a "safety cushion" for investors.
- Funds from operations: Ultimately, the product of the REITs operating performance has to show up in the REITs funds from operations.
- Distributions: At the end of the day, many REIT investors are income focused investors and the purpose of number 1 through 4 above is to ensure dividend stability and growth.

Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes...here's how to help your family prepare for the next natural disaster?
(13 Photos)
Jennifer Fink
Oct 26, 2012 at 8:58AM
Floods. Storms. Widespread power outages. And now, Hurricane Sandy is poised to strike. Every week, it seems, there's another story about a life-interrupting disaster. But few American families are adequately prepared to weather such a disaster. Often, all it takes is a thunderstorm that knocks out your power to realize how unprepared you are for a real emergency. And preparing for the unexpected is a bit more complicated when you have a baby, in fact, almost two-thirds of American families do not have an emergency preparedness kit at home, according to a Harris Survey sponsored by GE.
You don't need to build an ark -- or build a solar-power hydroponic greenhouse and fish farm in your backyard, like one family did on National Geographic's hit show, Disaster Preppers. Instead, "assess what are the most likely emergencies, and build your planning around those," says Tom Guilford, a civilian contractor in Emergency Management at Offutt AFB in Omaha, Nebraska. Here are the products to have on hand.
Emergency Step LadderWhat It Is: Two-Story Fire Escape LadderWhat It Includes: Slip-resistant rungs and an easy-to-unfold, non-tangling design. It holds up to 1,000 pounds and can be easily stored under a bed.Why You Need It: If you have a two (or more) story home, you need an escape ladder. During a fire, a window may be your best chance of escape; the blaze may block stairs or doors. Plan regular fire drills, and make sure that your children understand how to use the ladder or, that you know how you'll carry your baby or toddler down in an emergency. Where To Buy It: $33 at Amazon.com

I had one of those days where I could not tell if I was coming or going. I just knew I would run into myself if I worked at it.
I must get a little more organized, all my ducks in a row for tomorrow. I am subbing in the water aerobics class. I think I will leave the belly dancing out It is always fun coming up with a routine for class.
I weighed today for the first time in two months and I am staying about the same. I have worked soooooo hard, I must admit I had a moment of negative thinking...
but thankfully the thoughts did not last long. I also got to spend some time with the kids and the new Wii machine. I am not much into games like these or into fitness videos either. It seems I have three left feet and no thumbs when I try games and videos.
I think I've got the hang of something and then I find I don't quite fit in.
All in all I got nothing much accomplished. I was in situations I am not really comfortable in almost all day. I survived and tomorrow is another day. I promise to plan better, take more time, and accomplish something. I might even reward myself.
Have a great Friday one and all!
Spanky and I set off for a walk in our backyard. There are lots of sights to see:
This is the nest of a cactus wren and the dark in the middle is three baby birds.
The cacti are in full bloom. Here is the road going north by my house..neat clouds and the clouds with the sun to the west just beginning to set.
These yellow blooming plants smell very sweet and Spanky likes to walk under them.
Lots of new growth and the Pinon trees are making new cones which means if we get rain, we will have nuts this year.
Not bad for a backyard. Upon return to the house..I had one tired little warrior and one little Weena ready to go for her walk.
Have a good evening and a great Thursday!
What to do, what to do....I don't have to work today so I can step out of my usual routine. I might over plan and get nothing done, however, I have hit the gym and I have done my lifting.
Let's see. I need to do laundry, clean house, water the garden, eat, swim, ride, shop....
I still have not found the perfect sun bonnet!
I need to get my laundry done for sure...but it can wait. I think I'll look at some wildlife photos sent to me by one of my friends..........
Who am I kidding? Some days just bite!
I am tired, haven't recovered fully from the triathlon and work in all of the heat. I am going to take a nap and I will rethink this day when I get up.
Have a great Tuesday!
The final results for the Milkman have not been published yet. The timers and cameras probably melted from the heat and humidity! The temperatures ranged between 112 and 115 degrees by finish time.
My swim coach and I arrived the day before the tri in lovely Dexter, New Mexico which is a Dairy Farming area about 15 miles or so from Roswell, New Mexico. The tri takes place at Lake Van.
The area on the right side of the swim finish chute.
The area to the left of the finish chute and where the waves lined up at the beginning of the race.
Each participant places a hand on this dock and waits for the gun shot to signal the start of your wave of swimming.
I was totally freaked out about swimming in the open water. When we arrived the day before....and I looked out at the float line....
I was just about to yell "calf-rope" and come home. We decided to swim the entire course and it was a good decision. Down one side and back on the other.
I panicked a little in the middle of the first side and really had to talk myself into doing this swim. After a minute or so pep talk, we set off again and finally finished the swim.
Here I am at the finish.....damp, cool, content and fairly confidant. If I had not done this swim the day before the tri, the morning of...I would not have done this race.
SO...we did not "win" anything but a coffee mug. Officially, we completed a very difficult sprint triathlon. I won a mental victory by doing an open water swim. Tina's mental victory was finishing the bike portion of the tri. We both got to experience an "Africa hot run" segment and we even enjoyed an ice-cold beer with lunch after the race. SHHHHHHHH--don't tell anyone I had a beer. My first in a year!
Try-athletes rule!!!!!!!!! Get off the couch and get busy fellow Spark People! You'll be glad you did.
Wow it is really hot! Survived open water swim and will do one again...just hard to find open water here in SW New Mexico. I finished and I am happy but on a borrowed computer so I will give more details upon my return home; including pictures.
Everyone have a great weekend!

In early August, the city of Toledo, Ohio raised an alarm: a bloom of toxic algae in Lake Erie had poisoned the drinking water supply for the city. Toledo residents spent days using bottled water, and officials scrambled to solve the problem. The algae faded naturally. But harmful algal blooms seem to be a growing threat to waterways all over the country.

What is the best way to limit users access to the portal? I can't see anything in the HAP config which would apply and i can't see how to use IIS Authorization rules (as this requires the user to already be authenticated else it blocks the login page)..
Can't help but think i'm missing something.. or would this be a new feature request?
