Hey folks, I'm Omair Gillani, a program manager on the Remote Desktop Virtualization team. Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 make deploying and managing Remote Desktop Services (RDS) super easy by using a single pane of glass management interface. However, RDS deployments can get complex, where an issue with any one of the multiple infrastructure components (such as networking, storage, or Active Directory) can cause unexpected issues with the deployment. Diagnosing the exact root cause for a failure can be tricky given that the relevant logs can be spread across multiple servers in the deployment.
The RDV team is very excited to announce the availability of the RDS Diagnostic Tool, a tool designed to help troubleshoot and diagnose issues with RDS deployments. The RDS Diagnostic Tool can be used to get the current status of an RDS deployment or diagnose various types of issues in the deployment. The tool has several tabs that display different aspects of the deployment.
You can download the tool from the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40890.
· The tool needs to be run under a user account with Administrator privileges on all the servers of the RDS deployment.
· The tool needs to be launched on the RD Connection Broker server.
· The tool supports Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 deployments (no support for Windows Server 2008 R2).
Let's look at some of the details of the tool. The tool is divided into five different tabs. Each tab displays specific information for the deployment.
The Virtual Machines tab gathers detailed information about all the virtual machines on the Hyper-V servers.
Single-click: The administrator can click a particular row to see more detailed information in the side panel. Each time a row is clicked, only that row gets refreshed.
User Disks: Shows the current User Disk settings of the virtual machine. If there is any error in applying the user profile, the "Profile" should show as "Temp" and there will be a corresponding error under "Error." If the virtual machine has successfully attached a user profile, the "Profile" should show as "Roaming."
Tracking: Lists the current status of the virtual machine from the perspective of the RD Virtualization Host role service. If the RD Virtualization Host server failed to monitor the virtual desktop, there will be an error under "Boot error."
Broker: Shows whether the RD Virtualization Host server is actively connected to an RD Connection Broker server and the error if it isn't.
The tab gathers information about all the collections supported by the RD Connection Broker server.
Single-click: When a collection is selected, it displays more detailed information about each collection in the side panel.
This tab displays all the provisioning jobs—running, completed, failed—that were run by the RD Connection Broker server.
If a row is selected, the tool shows the job report and all the related events of this provisioning job. Events are gathered from all the RD Virtualization Host servers as well as from the RD Connection Broker server.
This tab also actively monitors new provisioning jobs and does not require a refresh.
This tab lists the last 300 connections that have been made through the RD Connection Broker server.
The results can also be filtered in two ways:
1. User: User name – Displays only the connections made by a specific user.
2. VM: Virtual machine name – Displays only the information associated with a specific virtual desktop.
When the Display button is clicked, the entire database from the RD Connection Broker server is displayed in the text box.
This allows administrators to collect all the Events and Traces from all the computers in the deployment with just one click.
1. Pressing F4 displays the tracing dialog box.
2. To start the tracing on all the computers, the Administrator should press Start.
3. After the error is reproduced, the Administrator should click Repro and Stop.
4. The following Events and Traces log files are collected. These files can be compressed and sent to Microsoft through your respective Customer Support Services (CSS) representative.
This allows administrators to collect all the information of the deployment and put it in a single log file. A log file will be created in the same location that the tool is running.
This refreshes all the information currently being displayed by the tool.
The RDS Diagnostic Tool will help improve the reliability of RDS deployments by enabling IT administrators to identify and fix issues quickly. Keep an eye out for updates on the Microsoft Download Center as we improve the tool in our effort to help make the management of RDS deployments easier.
This looks like it may be very useful in dealing with my most vexing problem, identifying where a user disk may have not been successfully released. The ability to show the machine(s) where a user was last connected will resolve that issue. Very much appreciated!
very exciting, however, when i run it fails to populate any data, all tabs are empty :(
Fails to populate any data for me either....
imho only connections tab working...
f8c63a-etnm-8q52dk6e5wcvd4.hop.clickbank.net THIS IS A GO GREEN LINK NICE SAVING ENERGY AN MONEY IS GOOD
The first 3 tabs (Collections, Virtual Machines and Provisioning) do not display any information. The last 3 tabs are working (Connections, Database and Events & Traces). It does not help that there isn't any information available on how to configure and / or troubleshoot this tool. I guess a Diagnostic Tool should work out of the box...
However, after all these months this tool is still in beta, I guess.
I also find it support for 2008R2 for remote desktop service troubleshooting , is that true ?
Pretty useless. Installed the latest version and nothing is populated under tabs still.
Still no data on the first three tabs. Any suggestion?
This is a much needed tool. The Collections tab did not return any data? I installed on one of my Brokers like instructions said. Am I missing something?
2012 R2 RDS farm with 2 brokers, 2 Session Host, and 2 gateway servers.
It is 2015 and the tool still cannot do anything but run eventlog queries.
Disappointing that there have been no updates.
The tool does not work with RDSCB running in HA mode on SQL server - but keeps talking to the empty WID database that is left behind when you enable HA.

Last night I email Brian LePort and told him the time had come to leave Near Emmaus. I cannot tell you how much I have loved blogging there over 2011.
As many of you are no doubt aware I have been on quite a journey these past months, a journey into the belly of the whale! The journey Peterson describes as "becoming a pastor". Near Emmaus is an academic blog, it is what it does really well. It is what the readers expect. Unfortunately I do not believe I am academic enough and am certainly focusing more of my writing on the pastoral vocation. I am more of a general practitioner one might say.
To Brian, John-Dave, Daniel, Joshua and TV, I say thank you. I wish I could keep up with your level of blogging and thinking, I really wish I could. Thank you for allowing me to stay a while it has been a wonderful time.
I am enjoying blogging now more than ever and that is mostly to do with being free to be myself. I blog what I like when I like and if you don't like you don't need to read it! :) I am enjoying my exploration of what it means to be a good parson and a half decent veggie Gardner and thank you for taking the time to read my dribble!

Updated at: 11/26/2013 9:35 AM
By DANICA KIRKA
(AP) LONDON - British prosecutors charged a policeman with misconduct Tuesday after a dispute over whether a senior politician insulted police officers outside the prime minister's office grew into a crisis about the integrity of Britain's largest force.
Prosecutors said Keith Wallis is being charged with sending an email to a lawmaker that falsely claimed that he witnessed the Sept. 19 incident. Prosecutors also allege that Wallis arranged for his nephew to support his story.
The case revolved around Andrew Mitchell, a senior Conservative Party politician who was accused of swearing at police and insulting them when they refused to open the gate outside the prime minister's Downing Street office so that he could ride his bicycle through it. Mitchell was accused of calling them "plebs" _ a condescending term for working-class people that struck a nerve in this class-sensitive society.
Mitchell admits he lost his temper and swore as he tried to make his way through the gate, but he has long denied using the term "pleb" or telling officers to "learn your place." He has described the words attributed to him as "a bad caricature of what an ill-mannered 1930s upper-class lout might say."
In the storm that followed, he was forced to resign, but questions were raised about the police account. The so-called "plebgate" incident challenged the ethics of Scotland Yard's police, whose reputation had already been battered by corruption exposed in the phone hacking scandal.
But prosecutors failed to make a determination on who they thought was telling the truth _ noting that no independent accounts exist of what occurred. CCTV images failed to settle the issue as footage is consistent with both accounts.

A fraternity at Miami University in southern Ohio has sued the school for $10 million, arguing that university officials acted with "malice, hatred and ill will" by suspending the organization for having a fireworks battle with another fraternity house, which led police to find marijuana.
The lawsuit, filed by the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati on Tuesday, said university officials violated members' constitutional rights by suspending the fraternity without providing an appeal process and despite the fact that police had not filed charges.
University spokeswoman Claire Wagner said the school acted in the best interest of student safety and followed written policy by suspending the fraternity, which included forcing its youngest members — all sophomores — to move back into on-campus housing.
"Any activity that so readily may cause harm to people or their homes, we have to be aware of and do our best to protect those students," Wagner said.

This one's jam-packed with gems, each one enough to rev your training into overdrive. Don't let Dan's casual style fool you: What you're getting from Dan is... brilliant.
Writes Byron Chandler, reviewing Dan's dvd, "Dan's currently using a modern, competitive style of pulling and lifting, so you may wind up picking and choosing what parts are for you. The thing is, these differences are the fine points -- learning how to pull weights off the ground and extend, getting the arms out of the pull, etc., are what you really need instruction to learn, and this DVD is the best thing available to people without a good instructor. There are not that many people who will even attempt to teach the quick lifts, and fewer than half of them are actually qualified. Dan's the real deal.

International Activities
On June 5, 2001, World Environment Day, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced a $21-million, four-year study of the condition of the global environment. With the participation of 1,500 scientists and many organizations, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment would be the first comprehensive assessment of this kind ever attempted.
At a meeting held in Johannesburg, S.Af., Dec. 4–9, 2000, representatives from 122 governments had finalized an international treaty to reduce or eliminate the production and use of the persistent organic pollutants aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, mirex, toxaphene, and hexachlorobenzene. Tropical countries were allowed to continue using DDT for malaria control until a suitable substitute became available. The phasing out of polychlorinated biphenyls would be gradual so that equipment containing them could remain in use until 2025. The treaty was opened for signature in Stockholm in May 2001 and would come into force once 50 countries had ratified it.
Eight people shared the $750,000 Goldman Environmental Prize at a presentation in San Francisco on April 23. The winners were Eugène Rutagarama of Rwanda, who worked to save his country's last mountain gorillas; Yosepha Alomang of Indonesia for helping to reverse some of the damage caused by mining in Irian Jaya; Oscar Olivera of Brazil, who helped reverse the privatization of the Brazilian water industry that had led to sharp increases in water prices; Bruno Van Peteghem of New Caledonia for his opposition to nickel mining in the New Caledonia coral reef; Myrsini Malakou and Giorgos Catsadorakis of Greece, who helped establish the Prespa Park conservation zone in wetlands with the friendly collaboration of Albania, Macedonia, and Greece; and American journalists Jane Akre and Steve Wilson for their investigation into health risks from the agricultural use of recombinant bovine growth hormone.
On September 7 the European Union (EU) formally approved a directive on renewable energy. This required member states to ensure that 12% of gross internal energy consumption and 22.1% of electricity consumption would come from renewable sources by 2010.
National Developments
On June 11 the federal government and leading energy companies signed a formal agreement to phase out nuclear power. The core of the agreement was a limit on the amount of power each of Germany's nuclear power plants would be permitted to produce. On the basis of an average life of 32 years for each reactor, this would mean the newest reactor would have to close in about 2021. The government published a draft of the necessary legislation on July 9, and after a period for consultation, the cabinet approved it on September 5. As well as setting a limit to the life span of existing nuclear plants, the law required power generators to provide intermediate storage facilities close to their plants for spent fuel and banned all shipments of waste for reprocessing from 2005.
On June 6 Environment Minister Jürgen Trittin told journalists in Berlin that the government planned a major expansion of offshore wind-power generation. By 2030 offshore wind parks, with a total of 4,000 generators, would be generating between 75 and 80 terawatts of power annually. Two North Sea areas had been identified as suitable because they were clear of all marine- and bird-conservation areas. The required investment would be made possible by the German renewable energy support law, which guaranteed a price of €0.09 (about $0.08) per kilowatt-hour for wind power.
On September 5 Boliden Ltd., the Swedish-Canadian company operating the Los Frailes iron pyrite mine at Aznalcóllar in Andalusia, said production at the mine would cease immediately. The mine was the source of the 1998 leakage of waste upstream of the Coto Doñana National Park. The cost of cleaning up the leakage was estimated at €180 million (about $165 million), and compensation also would have to be paid. The company, which filed for bankruptcy in 2000, said these costs were a significant factor in the closure.
The United Kingdom
On July 18 the British government announced that there would be no further reprocessing of nuclear fuel at the Dounreay plant in Caithness, Scot. Reprocessing at Dounreay had been suspended in 1996 owing to an equipment failure, and almost 25 metric tons of spent fuel remained on-site. This would either be stored at Dounreay or be transported to Sellafield, Eng., for reprocessing.
On Dec. 15, 2000, the last of the four Chernobyl reactors was closed down permanently. In fact, reactor 3 had closed some weeks earlier for technical reasons and had to be restarted in order to be shut down formally. Pres. Leonid Kuchma had issued the command through a television link from the Ukraina Palace in Kiev. On April 26, 2001, the 15th anniversary of the accident at Chernobyl, Kuchma led a memorial service in Kiev. Meanwhile, scientists continued to study the long-term effects of low-level radiation released in the accident.

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
This 524-room hotel in the most popular part of Waikiki is constantly buzzing.
Located on one of the best stretches of sand on Waikiki Beach, the main draw to this Outrigger outpost is its location -- in the heart of the action, between two of the most historic, most luxurious resorts in Oahu, the Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian.
But its popular location has a downside -- it's incredibly crowded, and often noisy. Outrigger's lobby is located on the 2nd floor, so guests enter at street level through what's essentially a shopping mall and head up an escalator. Duke's Canoe Club, a veritable tourist trap and one of the most popular restaurants in Waikiki, is located on the ground floor and its nightly music can rattle the windows on some of the lower-floor rooms. However, the hotel's 2012 renovations included a much-need soundproofing to all rooms, which has made noise less of an issue in most floors. Queen's Beach, just out front, is easily the most crowded beach in all of Oahu.
On the beach, in the heart of Waikiki
With a front door on Kalakaua Avenue and a back door on the sand, the hotel is in the heart of Waikiki. Two of Waikiki's most luxuious hotels -- the Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian -- are next door, and the International Market Place, where vendors hawk endless carts full of puka-shell necklaces and Obama bobbleheads, is across the street.
Kalakaua Avenue is a touristy, milelong stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels that runs along Waikiki Beach on Oahu's southeast coast. It offers a curious blend of mainland creature comforts and local flavor. On the sidewalks, Japanese tourists intermingle with tanned locals, surfboards under their arms, on their way to the beach to catch a few waves after work. On both sides of the street, high-end retailers -- Tiffany, Cartier, and yes, even an Apple store -- are interspersed with indoor malls and streetside vendors hawking cheap seashell jewelry and T-shirts. Seemingly every midmarket chain restaurant can be found here -- Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Tony Roma's -- along with more than a handful of Starbucks and fast-food joints. And towering above it all: 40-story, thousand-room hotels like the Hyatt Regency and Princess Kaiulani dotting the landscape like pins in a cushion.
Center of one of the most famous, and most crowded, beaches in the world
Outrigger Waikiki is on what's arguably the nicest stretch of Waikiki Beach. Loosely speaking, the entire 1.5-mile stretch of sand alongside Kalakaua Avenue is known as Waikiki Beach. In reality, it's more like three separate beaches, the borders of which vary depending on whom you ask. Outrigger Waikiki is located on the section called Queen's Beach, which is the part you see on postcards of Waikiki: manicured, palm tree-dotted lawns leading to a sunny white-sand beach. Children splash about in the shallow water near the shore, while surfers and standup paddle-boarders (the rad new thing to do) patrol the outer waters.
To summarize Queen's Beach in one word: packed. Packed with energy, packed with activity, packed -- most significantly -- with people. Towels carpet the sand like blankets at a sold-out concert. Families with small children, honeymooning couples, even locals taking lunch breaks -- they all merge here, sunning, swimming, and sandcastle-building, all the while doing their best not to kick sand in each other's faces.
Ocean views, but late night noise in lower-floor rooms
In addition to soundproofing, all guest rooms were remodeled and updated in 2012, with even balconies getting a facelift. All rooms received new furniture, wallpaper, linens, and carpets, providing a much needed refreshing. Dated, low-quality bedspreads were replaced by elegant deep-red comforters with a tropical design and matching bolsters, which along with the traditional wood furnishings and a few decor touches helped keep the Hawaiian look of the rooms. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combos (in some cases, half-size tubs) and generic granite countertops, but most have attractive wooden cabinets and locally made toiletries, as well as huge mirrors with bamboo-shaped metal frames.
All the features of a mega resort -- pool, gym, spa, theatre -- but on a smaller scale; expect crowds
Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach draws lots of families with its beachfront location, lively atmosphere, large rooms, and family activities throughout the day -- from lei-making to ukulele and hula-dancing lessons. But its pool doesn't quite compare to the enormous pool and waterslide at the Sheraton Waikiki.
Well-maintained guest rooms and grounds
Save a little mildew in the shower, the rooms are very well cleaned, as is the rest of the property.
Steak and seafood aplenty; plus cheap eats and ample to eat within walking distance
Outrigger Waikiki's on-site restaurants are all either on or overlooking the beach, and they span a wide price range, from cheap sandwiches to $40 steaks. Plus, the hotel's central location means that there's plenty of other places to dine within walking distance.
It's location over luxury at the 524-room Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach -- it's in the heart of the action on one of Waikiki's best beaches. The hotel's 2012 renovations brought somewhat more elegant decor to rooms, as well as up-to-date amenities -- including flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi -- and better soundproofing. The oceanfront guest rooms also feature clear glass lanai railings for unobstructed views of the ocean. While the nearby Sheraton Waikiki's features are a notch above Outrigger, there's something for everyone here, from daily kids' activities to tons of amenities for adults, including surfing and ukelele lessons, a full-service spa, and a fitness center. All in all, it's a decent pick for location if you don't mind the crowds.

Lucinda joins Luke at Java and tells him that she would like to honor Reid in some way. He says that she can start an endowment in his name. They begin discussing Lucinda's latest flawed behavior. He advises her to make things right with her daughter. She doubts that would work but he orders her to go and do it. As she leaves, Noah comes over. Luke tells him how brave and good Reid was. They talk about all the good he did. Noah's impressed by how focused he is. He explains that he wants to stick around to help him out but Luke won't allow that.
Noah and Luke go to WOAK. Luke gives him a new camera. Noah says it's too much but Luke believes in him and wants him to have a career in LA. Noah tells him he'll have to come and visit. They remember that this is the first place they met and kissed. Noah understands that Luke needs to honor Reid's memory and grieve. He'll be waiting for him if he ever decides to get on a plane and come to him. They kiss and Noah walks away.
Noah finds Luke by the water. Things are awkward. Noah knew he would come down there. Luke admits he knew almost nothing about Reid. "I didn't even know how I felt about him until I told you," Luke says. Noah asks him to list all the things he wishes he'd done with Reid. Luke wishes they went swimming or to a movie. They never went anywhere together. They never did much of anything. Noah's sure that whatever they did, it actually worked. Luke really wishes he'd made love to Reid. Noah tells him that Reid was a hero. Luke's sick of hearing people say that. "Reid was an arrogant, restless jackass," he says, explaining that Reid never used his brain when it counted, like when the lights were flashing for the train.
Lily and Holden join Luke and Noah by the water to scatter Reid's ashes. Some of them were kept at the hospital to be part of the new wing. He talks about how dedicated Reid was to the new wing of the hospital and how he will be there forever now.

WASHINGTON — A rare flash of bipartisanship Saturday served as a cruel tease to those hoping Congress is moving toward reopening the government and averting an unprecedented default on the federal debt in less than two weeks.
Only two days after House Speaker John Boehner raised hopes by telling colleagues he won't let the nation go into default, key members of both parties conceded that no one has presented a plausible plan for avoiding it. Instead, they continued to bicker and to ponder the chasm between two warring parties, each of which seems convinced it's on the winning side morally and politically.
Boehner, asked Saturday whether Congress was any closer to resolving the impasse, replied: "No." Aides close to Boehner say he has not figured out how to end the gridlock.
Even the day's top bipartisan achievement — agreeing to pay about 800,000 furloughed federal employees for the work days they are missing — was a thin victory. Congress made the same deal after the mid-1990s shutdowns, and Saturday's 407-0 vote was widely expected.
Still, it triggered the sort of derisive quarreling that has prevented Congress from resolving the larger funding and debt dilemmas.
"Of all the bizarre moments" involved in the debate, said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, "this may be the most bizarre: that we will pay people not to work." He called it "the new tea party sense of fiscal responsibility."
House Republicans said they want to ease the pain from the partial shutdown. Democrats said Congress should fully re-open the government and let employees work for the pay they're going to receive.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Saturday the Democratic-controlled Senate will approve retroactive pay for furloughed workers, although he didn't specify when.
Meanwhile Saturday, the Pentagon ordered most of its roughly 400,000 furloughed civilian employees back to work.
The politics of the 5-day-old partial government shutdown have merged with partisan wrangling over the graver issue of raising the federal debt limit by Oct. 17. If that doesn't happen, the White House says, the government will be unable to pay all its bills, including interest on debt. Economists say a U.S. default would stun world markets and likely send this nation, and possibly others, into recession.

The first interim report about depleted uranium was published in August 1998. This updated report reviews research conducted by both governmental and non-governmental agencies. It also includes the latest data available from a study the Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting on servicemembers who had the greatest exposure to depleted uranium during the Gulf War. Since 1993, the VA has monitored 33 veterans who were seriously injured in friendly-fire incidents involving depleted uranium. About half of this group still have depleted uranium metal fragments in their bodies. Additionally, this update refines previous Gulf War exposure assessments.
The first battlefield use of depleted uranium in tank armor and armor-piercing ammunition took place during the Gulf War. Military experts say that depleted uranium weapons and armor contributed to the overwhelming success of coalition forces during the Gulf War. But after the conflict, some veterans have expressed concern about the chemical toxicity and radiological properties of depleted uranium and possible health risks from its use.
Environmental exposure reports contain what is known today about certain events of the Gulf War. They are part of DoD's efforts to inform the public about its investigations into the nature and possible causes of illnesses experienced by some Gulf War veterans. This report is posted on DoD's website GulfLINK at http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/du_ii/ . Other publications of the Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses are also listed at http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/ .

Zepherine Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Zepherine claims to be a hardcore fat burner. When we come across a supplement that uses the word hardcore in the product description we are immediately prepared to red flag the product. Hardcore typically means high caffeine with tons of stimulant ingredients. We were able to find the supplement for sale online via the official Matrix Nutrition website in the UK.
List of Ingredients
- Bitter Orange
- Caffeine
- Green Tea
- Guarana
- N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Product Features
Just as we suspected Zepherine is a hardcore supplement in every sense of the word. There are four stimulants in the formula out of five ingredients. The company is transparent in that the amounts of each ingredient are listed in the product description, but in this case those amounts are irrelevant because of the strong stimulant base.
Bitter orange is synephrine. When ephedra was banned synephrine took the ingredient's place in stimulant supplements. There is no clinical support for synephrine like the support that existed for ephedra, but there are claims of horrible side effects like jitters, shakes, nervousness, anxiety and racing heart beat.
Caffeine is the old-favorite everyone looks for in a fat burner. This supplement supplies 117 mg per tablet. The suggested dose is one tablet twice daily supplying more than 200 mg of caffeine.
Green tea is another proven ingredient, but Zepherine only contains 20 mg of green tea. Clinical studies suggest doses closer to 350 mg for optimal metabolism support. At 20 mg you might as well drink a cup of hot green tea.
Guarana, another stimulant, is often added to supplements as a source of caffeine. There is no indication that guarana is standardized for caffeine, but even without that information guarana is still another source of caffeine. Guarana will increase the total amount of caffeine per dose.
- Zepherine lists all ingredients online.
- Caffeine and green tea are clinically proven to boost metabolism and support weight loss.
- Synephrine is associated with negative side effects.
- 80% of the ingredients in Zepherine are stimulants.
Zepherine is a hardcore fat burner, but that is not a good label. The ingredients in the formula are mostly stimulants and that means some dieters should skip the supplement as it could cause dangerous side effects. We love the fact that caffeine and green tea are part of the supplement, but there is not enough green tea and the guarana adds an unknown amount of caffeine.

Kids encouraged to enjoy, explore during 'Play Daze'
Next week, hundreds of local children will converge on San-Lee Park for a day of celebration and dozens of activities tailored toward them.
The North Carolina Play Daze event on Thursday will include demonstrations and more than 30 activity stations, which run the gamut and include camping, art, toys, cardboard fort building, reading corners and more — plus, of course, the chance to frolic in the mud and a creek. A group from the Lumbee Tribe will perform a native dance, tell stories and show artifacts.
"The point is to play for the sake of playing, to be physically active, to challenge each individual to be creative in mind and body, to take risks, to make individual choices [and] to connect with their family and friends," said Judy Thomas, who is helping organize the event through her group, the Lee County Coalition for Families. "We want the children to share in the joy of discovery and interaction without the need for competition."
In addition to the Coalition for Families, the event is being co-sponsored by another local nonprofit, the Partnership for Children, as well as the Lee County Library, the Parks and Recreation Department and several statewide groups.
Thomas said that more than 250 children already have been registered for the free event, and parents who want to sign their kids up need can call the Coalition for Families at (919) 774-8144, extension 209 or 210. The deadline is Tuesday, and all children ages 3-5 are welcome.
The event is new this year and is a replacement for the Day of the Young Child.
Barb Ballachino, a Pre-K specialist with the Partnership for Children, said she's eager to see how the switch is received.
"This year the focus has really changed to outdoor learning environments and just letting children be outside," she said. "... Think of yourself as a child, and the things you did outside. And do children really get a chance to do that as much anymore? I don't think so."
The event will last from 9 a.m. to noon at the park, located at 572 Pumping Station Road in Sanford. There will be water served, but no food — although families are encouraged to bring a snack or a picnic lunch.

|I climbed this route for the first time today, and was amazed at the quality of climbing/position it offered. I also felt that though the climbing on the first pitch was relatively easy, it felt a bit spicy/runout in sections(PG-13ish due to some ankle breaking potential if a couple of brassies about 1/3 of the way up pull). The 2nd pitch, though very straight forward, seemed stout in the grade.

|I agree with Chris. 1/3 of the way up is the mental crux; a few inobvious moves and protected by "okay" micro stoppers/micro cams. The arete is stellar positioning and exposure. P2 is as 5.8 as you can get before being 5.9-. See the comment section for Paralysis for info on how to link up with the upper pitches (P4-5) to make this into an adventurous 4-pitch route that tops out.

|An excellent adventure, especially if done in conjunction with P3 & 4 of Paralysis. The gear is definitely thin, so it warrants PG13. The areat moves on P2, while easy for the route, are quite spectacular!

|I found the first pitch to be pretty scary! It seemed like you would get gear at a ledge and then have to make a difficult move above that ledge. Lots of ankle breaking potential! Cool route non the less.

CAMERON - On Wednesday, at approximately 3:00 AM, Cameron Police was notified of a Burglary in Progress alarm being activated at Stoney's Liquor Store, located in the 200 block of Milam Street in Cameron.
Two suspects pried open the front of the doors to the business and entered into the business, proceeding to the interior ATM machine, where the cash door was pried open and an undetermined amount of cash removed from the machine. The suspects exited the store and ran to the west side of the building where they were picked up by a grey/silver 4 door sedan with plain no tinted windows.
The get away vehicle was stopped across the street on Milam Street, watching the events, and as soon as they suspects exited the building, the vehicle drove across the street and picked up the suspects near the Cameron library.
Cameron Police responded to the scene in less than 3 minutes. The suspects were wearing ski masks, dark clothing, and were carrying a pry/hallagan tool which they used for the force entry.
Approximately 20 minutes later, Rosebud Police began a pursuit of a gray sedan in which 3 individuals had occupied. One subject was arrested while two fled on foot. It is uncertain if this is the same vehicle with the same suspects from the burglary, but Cameron Police Investigators will be following up on this lead.
No one was injured in any of two events. There is a possibility the same subject's were involved in a similar crime in Fayette County as well.
The case is currently under investigation.

Sun square Saturn is probably the most challenging of the Sun Saturn natal aspects as both Saturn and the square aspect represent tests and challenges that have to be overcome in order to get ahead in life. This aspect may cause difficulties early in life with self-esteem as a result of criticism from people, especially authority figures like the father.
This can lead to these people being hard on themselves but the benefit here is that they strive with determination and perseverance to overcome any setbacks and become masters of self-discipline, achievement and responsibility.
Sun Square Saturn Celebrities
Astrologer Zane Stein (16′) faced some personal trials which led him to raise his children as a single parent. With all this extra responsibility, he has still managed to become a highly respected astrologer with many lasting achievements to his name as a pioneer in Chiron and asteroid studies. Actor Jason Alexander (38′) had many hardships as a youngster, he said he "was always scared as a kid of getting picked on or humiliated or actually beaten up by bigger kids." He turned this around by using comedy as a defense mechanism which led to his great recognition.
Oprah Winfrey (03′) certainly started life with many difficult challenges, she was an illegitimate child and practically abandoned, raped and abused which of course has led to lifelong insecurities. Salvador Dali (27′) had terrible Saturn responsibilities placed on him by his parents. He was named after his older brother who died as a baby, and his parents forced him to wear his clothes as a reminder that he would never replaced his dead brother. Other celebrities with Sun square Saturn include Jane Fonda (27′) and George Harrison (27′).

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
In the bottom of the ninth inning, it looked like CSUN (4-4) was about to mount another come-from-behind effort; in Sunday's game against Texas Tech, the Matadors score the tying and game-winning runs within moments of one another to steal the victory out of the Red Raider's hands at the last moment.
Down 3-0 going into the bottom of the ninth, the Matadors could not take advantage of a two-out double hit by third baseman Dominic D'Anna, and ended up on the wrong side of a 3-0 ballgame against the visiting Evansville Purple Aces (2-4).
The loss snapped the Matador's three-game winning streak, created after successfully sweeping Texas Tech in a three-game series last weekend.
A combination of singles and Matador errors in the first inning led to the Purple Aces first two runs of the game. Two frames later, the Purple Aces took full advantage of a Longpre hit batsman as Evansville third baseman Cody Fick eventually scored the third run of the game on the back-end of a successful double steal.
First inning notwithstanding, Matador started Bryan Longpre had a solid performance on the bump as he only allowed six hits over his six innings pitched.
Right-handed pitchers P.J. Rousey and Brian Slover only allowed one hit combined in their collective three innings of relief, keeping the Matadors in the game as the afternoon progressed.
But it was the effort of Evansville starter Wade Kapteyn that kept CSUN at bay; after scoring a 18 runs combined in their last three games against Texas Tech, the Matador bats were only able to produce six hits on the day.
Responsible for half of CSUN's offense was third baseman Richard Cates as he went 3-for-4 at the plate, and was the only Matador who was able to find success at the plate on a consistent basis throughout the game.
The Matadors look to end their six-game homestand on a successful note as they face the Evansville Purple Aces one more time in their series finale Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
There will be no radio for tomorrow's game, however Gametracker will be available for those fans unable to make it to Matador Field.
NOTE: During CSUN's upcoming road trip at Nebraska, all four games will be available via Gametracker for Matador baseball fans to follow all the action live and on-line.

A Bryan man says he has a big problem with wild hogs on his property.
News 3 finds out why he says he was slapped with a big fine from the city after trying to get the wild animals under control.
They're destroying his property; ripping through fencing, digging holes all over his front yard, breaking toys, even injuring one of his dogs.
"He had stitches all right here. You can feel the scars," said Bryan resident, Jim Swartz, about his dog, Jigsaw.
Swartz says wild hogs have probably cost him $2,000 in damages at his home in the 3000 block of North Texas Avenue in Bryan.
A local game warden says new city developments have the wild hogs migrating into places like this. We're under North Texas Avenue right now, you can hear the traffic. Where there's shelter, shade and food and water nearby.
"I've made probably four or five complaints from October until now and it's a joke, that's what it is," said Swartz.
City reps for animal control say they don't have any records of calls for service at Jim's address.
They came out about three weeks ago, though, because of complaints from two other residents.
Swartz said, "She said are these your pigs? I said, no ma'am, these are wild hogs."
Jim says he fed the animals and tried trapping them with dog kennels.
"She says, no sir, being that you have fed them, they're your pigs," commented Swartz.
According to city officials, animal control doesn't have the capability of trapping wild game like this.
Swartz said, "I said, you have no right to tell me that I'm responsible for some pigs that have been tearing up my land. I said, I just told you to go ahead and take them, that they've been a nuisance to me."
Jim ended up with a 400-dollar ticket.
Police believe Jim was keeping the wild animals as pets, based on nearby residents complaints.
It's illegal to harbor wild animals within city limits.
Jim says that's not the case.
"I'm gonna make sure I fight this 110% because I'm not responsible for it or anything else," Swartz said.
He'll get a chance to make his case, in municipal court...a month from now.
Texas Parks and Wildlife numbers show there are more than 1.5 million feral hogs in Texas.

Several media outlets reported Sen. John McCain's assertion, in his March 26 foreign policy speech, that "[w]e need to listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies," without nothing that, during the run-up to the Iraq war, McCain made statements that suggested the opposite of "respect" for the views of U.S. allies. For example, in February 2003, McCain likened France, which opposed the invasion, to an "aging movie actress in the 1940s who's still trying to dine out on her looks, but doesn't have the face for it."
A Los Angeles Times article asserted that Sen. John McCain "is running as the most fiscally conservative" presidential candidate, and specifically cited in support only McCain's "critici[sm] [of] the Medicare prescription benefit when it was created in 2003, saying that Congress and President Bush failed to provide for the long-term cost." But Sen. Hillary Clinton also opposed the bill the Times cited, saying the legislation would "start an insurance cost death spiral that will unravel Medicare's financing."
The Boston Globe's Peter S. Canellos reported that Sen. John McCain's "opposition to Bush on a range of issues, combined with his nonideological voting record, gives him an image of moderation." In fact, McCain himself has stated, "My record in public office taken as a whole is the record of a mainstream conservative," and has said that he will "offer Americans ... a clearly conservative approach to governing." Furthermore, academic studies of McCain's voting record have ranked him among the most conservative members of the Senate.
The Associated Press reported that Sen. John McCain "has decided not to accept the public matching funds," but that the Federal Election Commission "wants him to assure regulators that he did not use the promise of public money as collateral for [a] loan." The article did not mention that FEC Chairman David Mason has asserted that McCain cannot legally withdraw from the public finance system without FEC approval. Additionally, a Wall Street Journal article did not note that McCain may not be able to opt out of the public financing system.
On Today, Tim Russert discussed the schedules from Sen. Hillary Clinton's time as first lady and asserted: "Senator Clinton has made her experience such a part of this campaign, particularly her eight years as first lady. So this may be very rich in terms of exactly how did she spend her time, who did she meet with?" Russert added that "this, I think, today will be analyzed very closely by all of us at NBC News and media organizations across the country." Indeed, while NBC and MSNBC journalists discussed more substantive issues related to her schedules, they also repeatedly discussed what the schedules say, or do not say, about where Hillary Clinton was during Monica Lewinsky's encounters with President Clinton, in many cases teasing segments or leading them with that information.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed that when Hillary Clinton said, "[N]o matter where you were born, or how much money you are born into, no matter where you worship, or the color of your skin, it is a bedrock American principle that we are all equal in the voting booth," she was using "code language." Scarborough made the "code" claim two more times on Morning Joe.
Responding to Barack Obama's comment, made in his March 18 speech addressing controversial statements by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that his white grandmother had "uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes," Joe Scarborough said: "I really wonder why anybody, why any man, would throw his grandmother under the bus during a political speech regardless of the point he was trying to make." But last week, Scarborough said that "we all have people that we love dearly who are crazy," adding, "Do not hold me accountable for things that my father has said in the past ... or for e-mails ... that my mother sends me. ... And again, Mom and Dad, I love you. I'm just making a bigger point."
Joe Scarborough asserted on MSNBC's Morning Joe: "John McCain has never attached himself to these people on the far right that say if you're gay, you're going to hell, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera." In fact, McCain has "attached himself to" some notable religious figures who have made controversial statements, among them John Hagee and Rod Parsley.
On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade discussed the release by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign of a list of campaign contributions raised by Antoin "Tony" Rezko -- which the campaign says will be donated to charity -- and asserted that the list was of "people that donated to his campaign for Senate and for the presidency." Steve Doocy replied, "Well, actually, I think it's just during the presidential campaign." In fact, a Politico article noted that "the only presidential campaign contribution on the list" came from "financier and Hollywood producer Thomas Rosenberg."
Interviewing Al Franken on CNN's American Morning, Kiran Chetry falsely claimed that Al Franken, in a 2005 appearance on David Letterman's show, "said some things about Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, saying they should be executed for treason." In fact, as Franken noted, he had said that "George H.W. Bush, the president's father, was the head of the CIA, and he has said that outing a CIA agent is treason. ... And so, basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed." Chetry then denied having said that Franken "advocated" executing Rove and Libby.

New Startup Hopes to Push Open Source Pharmaceuticals 101 101
waderoush writes "Nothing like the open source computing movement has ever caught fire in biology or pharmaceuticals, where intellectual property is king. But drawing inspiration from the people who make Linux software, and the social networking success of Facebook, Merck's cancer research leader has nailed down $5 million to launch a nonprofit biology platform called Sage, which aims to make it easier for researchers around the world to pool their data to make better drugs. 'We see this becoming like the Google of biological science. It will be such an informative platform, you won't be able to make decisions without it,' says Merck's Eric Schadt, a co-founder of Sage. He adds: 'We want this to be like the Internet. Nobody owns it.'"

In her spare time, Lee enjoys gardening on her balcony and also plays in Family Tree, a Long Beach-based indie-folk and children's-music band that has performed in local venues such as Koo's, Que Sera and the Prospector and just returned from a cross-country tour.
A Cal State Long Beach graduate, Lee laments that one of the most difficult things about crafting is pricing. As Abbott refers to her own efforts as slave labor, Lee explains, "I make a profit because I don't really take into account what I should get paid for my time, but I pretty much just take into account how much something would be worth to someone else and what the materials cost."
She feels that if she raises her prices—her stuffed dinos go for $20—people will no longer purchase her goods. "It's only because I know I'm so cheap," Lee says. "I'll love something and I won't buy it because it's expensive."
heartsandlaserbeams.etsy.com; www.heartsandlaserbeams.com
The pricing dilemma is a common one for crafters. Steph Calvert's store is the most successful of the entire Mafia's. She's been doing it the longest and was able to quit her day job in March, relying only on her Etsy store, her website, her items in boutiques and a freelance graphic-design job doing those cutesy tees you see in mail-order catalogs such as Delia's. (Her favorite is one of Grover teaching us, once again, the concept of near and far.)
Calvert's especially known for her robot designs, a character that has been showing up in her doodles for years: "I was robot-y before robot-y was cool!"
Among Calvert's best-sellers are melamine plates with her colorful original designs, ranging from a robot to a very assertive carton of milk. "One of the hard parts about being a small, independent designer is that you don't necessarily have the resources to get better pricing," she explains. "My melamine plates are really cute, but I hate they're priced so high. And they have to be because I can't order a thousand of each design from China. I'm hoping I can keep doing them, but it's kind of an uphill battle with that sort of stuff."
A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Calvert has had experience doing art for websites and even for Osh Kosh B'Gosh—in, yes, Osh Kosh, Wisconsin, which she insists wasn't really all that bad.
Calvert makes an assortment of items, including handmade aprons, archival prints, and graphic and slogan T-shirts, most of which are just inside jokes with her husband. "One of the shirts I do has a trolley on the front and 'Ding, ding!' on the back of it. The joke behind it is what I call it when the thong underwear hangs over the waistband of the pants and you just wanna go up and go 'ding, ding!' and pull on it! It signals your stop."
Calvert will actually not be in attendance with the rest of the Mafia at Second Saturday—she'll instead be attending the opening reception of her art show, "Coming Clean: Secrets and Stories From Catholic School" at the Kids Are Alright boutique in Belmont Shore; it runs through the end of the month.
She was inspired to paint her series of woodland creatures in compromising situations by from her days as a student at St. Bonaventure School in Huntington Beach. A bird flying upside-down as others look on was about the time she got in trouble for flipping the bird at the eighth-grade retreat. A bunny in a tartan school jumper whispering something to an adult bunny sitting on a tree stump? About how she used to make up horrible things she'd done to tell the priest at confession just to make things interesting. A smiling badger holding a tree branch atop its forehead tells the story of how she wanted to be a unicorn when she was 6.
leatheretteheart.etsy.com; leatheretteheart666.mevio.com
Liz Abbott sits in the living room of her Belmont Shore apartment in a black skirt and a TSOL shirt she has modified into a tank top with safety pins. She calls the room her personal sweatshop, and it does kind of look like one: Along the walls, there are two sewing tables she's carted back and forth between New York and Los Angeles, both draped in scraps of bold fabric. An old metal '50s x cabinet with countless drawers and a large table is just around the corner, along with more cloth and supplies. Among the chaos are a few midcentury-modern pieces and kitschy gems: a pink plastic Hello Kitty camera, a Twiggy storage box, a baby-blue Barbie jumbo jet covered in pink daisies. She's nursing a cold as she frantically prepares for Saturday.

I love noodle shops. If I could open one I would. Unfortunately my mother was Italian not Asian. While the price is good, as is the thai iced tea, the food is nothing to rave about. I'll likely go back again to try their ramen but my 2 stops thus far have not been impressive.
Posted by food junkie on 09/08/2007
It was a cold day and the noodles were hot, comforting and really quite tasty. Perfect for a chilly day or after a long night.
Posted by west town diva on 09/29/2006
Like many things that have popped up in Wicker Park, this just isn't as good as it could be. The food was unimpressive, and not nearly as good as some of the other smaller, local joints. If you want some good tasty Thai head down a few blocks and pass on this place.
Posted by a fan on 07/20/2006
PROS: This noodle shop is one of the best casual spots in the area. The service is always courteous and the portions are huge. Very reasonably priced. CONS: No delivery to the West Loop area.

The Convict Water Supply Trail, a self guided tour of the water supply used by the Australian convict penal settlement
This 600-metre walking trail takes you beyond Port Arthur's manicured lawns and flower-bordered paths and into the surrounding bushland.
The Convict Water Supply Trail tells the story of an ambitious engineering project that aimed to make the convict settlement self-sufficient in the production of flour.
Along the trail you'll see the remains of convict-built reservoirs, aqueducts, mills and water wheels, offering a glimpse of the dreams and disappointments of this grand venture.
The trail also documents the growth of a free community from the ruins of the penal system and explores the environmental impact of white settlement, the regenerative power of Tasmania's endemic flora and the changing attitudes over the last 200 years to the Australian landscape.
The Convict Water Supply Trail begins behind the Hospital and finishes at the Commandant's House.
Allow 30 minutes.
