In Windows Server 2008 R2, the Web Single Sign-On (Web SSO) feature provides users with the ability to enter their credentials only once during logon to Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access). After logon, users can launch RemoteApp programs that are part of the same connection in RemoteApp and Desktop Connections without any further credential prompts, even if the RemoteApp programs are configured to use RD Gateway.
This post describes how to configure RD Session Host and RD Connection Broker servers to take advantage of the Web SSO feature when launching RemoteApp programs from RD Web Access.
In Windows Server 2008 TS Web Access, a major pain point for users was receiving multiple credential prompts, first when logging on to TS Web Access and then when launching a RemoteApp program from a terminal server.
In Windows Server 2008 R2, using the new RD Web Access Forms Based Authentication (FBA), users will now have to enter credentials only once in the login page of RD Web Access and will not be prompted again for entering credentials on launching subsequent apps from the RemoteApp Programs page of RD Web Access.
RD Web Access can access RemoteApp programs in two modes (details about these modes can be found in this post):
Web SSO is supported for launching RemoteApp programs from RD Web Access or the Start menu in any of the above modes. For Web SSO to work when connecting to personal desktops or pooled virtual machines (VMs) the client machine needs this hotfix installed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2524668.
The steps for configuring Web SSO and setting up a digital signature for RemoteApp programs for RD Session Host and RD Connection Broker modes are described below.
There are 2 steps required to configure Web SSO when using RD Session Host.
Membership in the local Administrators group (or equivalent) on the RD Session Host server that you plan to configure is the minimum requirement to complete each of the following steps.
Step 1: Add the RD Web Access server to the TS Web Access Computers group on the RD Session Host server
Step 2: Digitally sign the RemoteApp programs on the RD Session Host server
There are 5 steps required to configure Web SSO when using RD Connection Broker.
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the specific server that you plan to configure is the minimum required to complete each of the following steps.
Step 1: Add the RD Web Access server to the TS Web Access Computers group on the RD Connection Broker server
Step 2: Add RD Session Host servers as RemoteApp Sources on RD Connection Broker server
Step 3: Add the RD Connection Broker server to TS Web Access Computers group on each RD Session Host server
Step 4: Digitally sign RemoteApp programs on each RD Session Host server
Use the following steps to sign RemoteApp programs by using RemoteApp Manager. The procedure assumes that you are working from a central administrator workstation, the certificate is stored on the central administrator workstation, and the central administrator workstation has the RemoteApp Manager tool installed.
Repeat the steps in the procedure for each RD Session Host that is providing RemoteApp programs through RemoteApp and Desktop Connection.
Step 5: Specify certificate on RD Connection Broker server
If the RemoteApp programs are signed using a certificate from a public CA that participates in the Microsoft Root Certificate Program Members program (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=59547), then Web SSO should just work.
If the certificate is not issued by a trusted public CA, the certificate must be imported into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certification store on the client computer to be trusted by the client operating system. Members of the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the client computer can import the certificate or it can be done by using Group Policy.
The 'Trusted Certificate Authority Root' certificate (shown below) must be imported in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certification store on the client computer and on the RD Session Host and RD Connection Broker machines. 'Certificate for Signing Remote App Programs' certificate must be imported in the Personal store on the RD Session Host, and RD Connection Broker machines.
If RD Web Access is configured to use Windows Authentication, which is the Windows Server 2008 mode, instead of the default Forms Based Authentication (FBA), users will be prompted for credentials twice: once for the Windows Integrated Authentication for RD Web Access and again on the launch of the first RemoteApp in the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection. Thereafter on subsequent RemoteApp launch, SSO will work as it works in the FBA mode.
Web SSO also works when RemoteApp programs are set to use RD Gateway regardless of whether RD Web Access accesses RemoteApp programs in RD Session Host mode or RD Connection Broker mode.
The configuration of Web SSO for RD Gateway assumes that:
More details on how to configure a 'Connection Authorization Policy' on RD Gateway can be found here.
The step below is needed regardless of the mode RD Web Access is configured. In case of RD Connection Broker mode, the step needs to be performed on each RD Session Host server which is added as a RemoteApp Source on RD Connection Broker Server.
I have very simple setup: Clients XP with SP3 and Remote Desk Top Services on a Win2008 R2 (on SP), I configured the RDWeb and also got ride of the second login that was needed initially when the user clicks on a published app on the RDWeb. However I still can't find a way to get ride of the initial login dialog from RDWeb. All is in the same domain and the url is successfully identified as "Local intranet" every normal ASP.Net website then uses the credentials (especially when it is configured in IIS like that). However I haven't found a way around this Login on RDWeb. Pretty annoying is the least to say, help would be very much appreciated.
[sorry for my bad english (i am French)]
First ... I want to said thank You for this article who is my base for working on this subject
But... just one remark... as usual (as in all the articles on the web) ...
there is not part indicating a way to ... validate !!! the good implementation
Ok for single sign on ... it's easy to see if it work or not ...
But... how to verify the good implementation of the session broker ??
Some idea on this point ?
I like to be able to verify the most clearly as possible if all is really working as it does !
Thanks for all
Hi Patrick,
If you are not getting credential prompts after entering creds once on Forms based auth when end user connects, that means it's working properly. Have you looked at the Best Practice Analyzer for RDS in WS08 R2: technet.microsoft.com/.../dd391873(WS.10).aspx ?
Hi, Patrick,
To add to what Olga said, the RD Connection Broker is responsible for a) reconnecting users to the same RD Session Host server on which they have a session and b) spreading out new connection requests over the servers in the farm. Therefore, one way you can determine that the RDCB is brokering connections as expected is to examine the sessions in the RDS Manager. If one user is running all applications from a single session, and the session load of all users is disttributed across the farm, that indicates that brokering is working. If one server consistently has no sessions but the other servers do, that may indicate an issue if this situation persists over time.
Getting WebSSO to work (single password from logging into RD Web then launching a RemoteApp program) has been driving me crackers and was on the verge of giving up when I tried the solution below (also mentioned by Sergey in a previous post, although the fix was so effective I think it needs a 2nd mention to save anyone else tearing their hair out if they missed it!)
Which leads to an official fix that isn't listed for RemoteApp but solves the issue...
The moment I put that on my server it worked perfectly using RemoteApp, RD Web Access & RD Gateway.
I've followed this guide however i'm still asked to authenticate when accessing https://termsrv/rdweb and also when accessing remoteapp signed .rdp programs for the first launch.
How do i get around this? Is it possible for complete SSO when accessing the website and all launches of remoteapp .rdp applications
Turns out, we're probably doing everything correctly: support.microsoft.com
The hotfix works, unfortunately it's client-side.
I'm also asked to authenticate when accessing https://termsrv/rdweb and also when accessing remoteapp signed .rdp programs for the first launch.
After following these instructions, like Dan I was still being prompted for credentials the first time I launched a RemoteApp. I found this could be fixed by adding the line
in the Custom RDP Settings tab of RemoteApp Deployment Settings in RemoteApp Manager.
For all of those trying to get rid of the RDWeb Apps logon page, it's in the web.config file. You need to go into iis and turn off form auth and turn on windows auth. Then navigate to the web.config file for RDWebApps at C:\Windows\Web\RDapp\web.config (i think). In the web.config will be commented instructions on how to allow pass through auth. Just follow these instructions and this will work.
found the solution to security prompt in Win Auth mode:
edit default.aspx
public bool fUserAdmin = false, fConfigPage = false, bShowPublicCheckBox = false, bPrivateMode = false;
public bool fUserAdmin = false, fConfigPage = false, bShowPublicCheckBox = false, bPrivateMode = true;
@Gerrard Shaw:
Thanks! That was the finaly solution that I was looking for,
For configuring SSO with a Broker you say "The certificate for digitally signing RemoteApp programs on each RD Session Host server and RD Connection Broker server should be the same". What does that actually mean? If you have the same certificate for a bunch of servers with different names won't you constantly get the IE warning message about the certificate name not matching the server name?
Great article! Where to find TS Web Access Computers on WIndows 2012? Not to find here 2.In the left pane, expand Local Users and Groups, and then click Groups. in my installation.
With Citrix one checkbox ... what a mess ...

A key Senate Democrat said Wednesday that a new resolution authorizing force against Syria if the latest diplomatic push fails has a better chance of passing the Senate.
Sen. Carl Levin (D., Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been working with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to draft a new resolution if the United Nations does not approve an enforceable measure stripping Syria of its chemical weapons.
Speaking to reporters in a breakfast meeting, Mr. Levin said the Russian initiative could lead to a positive outcome—a Syrian regime without access to chemical weapons—but only if the U.S. continues to put military pressure.
Mr. Levin said the timing of a vote would depend on the wording of the resolution and did not say when he thought the vote would take place, saying only that it should be held when it was most likely to pass. But even if there is not a vote, a strongly worded resolution that has growing support in the Senate could give the diplomatic talks a lift, he said.
"The prospects are better that this kind of approach can pass, because its aim is to promote a political settlement, which is in everybody's interest," Mr. Levin said.

The White House, Mr. Levin said, has the option of taking military action even if the Senate or House fail to pass a resolution authorizing force. He said it was important for the President to retain his power to strike without authorization.
"We should do nothing to reduce the availability of options to the president. Even if we cannot strengthen his hand we should do nothing to weaken it," Mr. Levin said.
On Tuesday, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey, said the U.S. had two sets of targets aimed at diminishing the Syrian regime's ability to launch chemical weapons or threaten its neighbors.
Mr. Levin said the most difficult targets for the U.S. will be the tanks and artillery that defend the launch sites for chemical weapons.
"The effect will not be small, the effect will be real," he said. "There will be an impact on their overall military capability although the target is their chemical capability. There will be a significant impact."

EPIK (English Program in Korea) is a program to improve the English speaking abilities of students and teachers in Korea, to foster cultural exchanges, and to reform English teaching methodologies in Korea. It is affiliated with the Korean Ministry of Education and is operated by the National Institute for International Education (NIIED). Established in 1995, EPIK program encourages cross cultural exchanges while promoting the development of English language competence for Korean students.[1]
Formally created in 1995 under the name KORETTA, EPIK has placed Guest English Teachers in Korean classrooms for over a decade. The program has undergone many administrative changes and is overseen by the NIIED. Currently, participants live and teach in 16 different Provinces and Metropolitan cities.[2]
EPIK is overseen by NIIED, a division of the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST). EPIK provides recruitment and Guest English Teacher support from a central office in Seoul. In conjunction with NIIED, Provincial Offices of Education offer assistance with various daily and work related affairs to Guest English Teachers. Participants can seek guidance from representatives at their Provincial Office of Education and from EPIK.

Marksmen Master Small-Arms Skills at Grafenwoehr Training Area
May 26, 2009
By Spc. Michelle Waters, 133rd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
Story Highlights
- Small Arms Master Marksmanship Course familiarizes soldiers with individual Army weapon systems
- The course is operated by the 7th Army JMTC Combined Arms Training Center in Vilseck, Germany
- The Grafenwoehr Training Area's ranges can accomodate the full range of individual/crew-served weapons
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany- Soldiers stationed across Europe recently trained on several weapons at the Small Arms Master Marksmanship Course located at the Joint Multinational Training Command.
The Small Arms Master Marksmanship Course, or SAMMC, is a two-week course offered by the Combined Arms Training Center (CATC) that trains Soldiers on the use of the M-249 machine gun, Mark-19 grenade launcher, M-240B machine gun, M-4 carbine, the M-9 pistol and the M-2 50-caliber machine gun.
"The SAMMC is designed more towards non-combat arms soldiers" said Sgt. 1st Class Allen McGillivray, an instructor for the CATC. "We are here to get soldiers familiarized with the different weapon systems that the Army has to offer."
This course also teaches soldiers how to run a range, as well as how to set up a range for each weapon. After completing the course, Soldiers are able to teach their own troops the standards when they get back to their home unit.
"Most soldiers who attend this course are selected by their unit commander. They must be a sergeant or above, or a specialist in a leadership position capable of teaching soldiers," said McGillivray.
During the course, the first week is spent conducting hands on training in which soldiers learn to perform function checks, the functions of each weapons system and proper weapon safety. The second week allows them to put all they have learned to use on the live fire ranges. The training is geared to reach a wide array of Army specialists, independent of their military occupation.
"That's what is great about JMTC. This is one of the few training grounds that have multiple live ranges with so many different weapons systems - from the Mark 19 to the 9mm," said Staff Sgt. Benjamin Hadley, an instructor for the Close Quarter Battle Course and SAMMC.
The JMTC allows soldiers to train on all aspects of possible battlefield scenarios, thus enabling Soldiers to better prepare themselves for situations they find, while in support of Contingency Operations, Hadley said.
"The most important thing we've learned here is proficiency," said Sgt. Daniel Messner, an aviation operations specialist with the 2nd Battalion 159th Aviation Regiment, and student at the SAMMC. "You have to know how to assemble and disassemble your weapons to make sure they are operational."
Hadley said lessons learned on the battlefield are utilized daily in the training conducted at the SAMMC, and credits other NCOs with making the training a success.
"We, as NCO's, have a lot to learn and a lot to share," he said. "Those that are just coming back from war can share their knowledge with the non-combat arms. Every year since we began the war, from 2001 to 2009, the enemy continues to change and get better, but so will we."
By utilizing the numerous training facilities and courses offered by the JMTC, these instructors and students help ensure that future warriors will not only complete their mission, but arrive home safe.

SRINAGAR: The Indian army said it raided a militant hideout and killed five suspected insurgents in a gunbattle in the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir.
Army spokesman Col. Brijesh Pandey said the army suffered no casualties during fighting Monday in Ganderbal region, nearly 30 miles north of Srinagar, the main city of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Several rebel groups are fighting Indian rule. None have issued statements on the incident and the army's account could not be independently verified.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety. Since 1989, a separatist insurgency and a subsequent crackdown by Indian forces have killed an estimated 68,000 people in Kashmir, mostly civilians. Although the armed rebellion is largely suppressed, resentment against Indian rule runs deep.

Tips for Activating Your TracFone
Finally, once you receive your phone, you'll need to activate it. First, go to TracFone.com, then click on the green "Activate Phone, Add or Buy Airtime" button near the top right of the screen. On the next page, click the blue "Activate / Reactivate Phone." Then click the "New TracFone Customer" button on the left, and from there follow the instructions on the screen.
Just a couple of items to note here – in a couple of steps, TracFone will ask for information, but you are not required to give it. Specifically, you may choose NOT to give your contact info, and you may also choose NOT to add an airtime card during the activation process.
Unless you have specific privacy concerns, I recommend that you do give your contact info, including an email address, but NOT a home phone number. This information is not absolutely necessary, but may save you some headaches should you need to contact TracFone for assistance in the future. The reason I suggest not submitting a home phone number is that TracFone will call (with an automated message) occasionally to remind you of upcoming due dates or other offers. My assumption is that most people would prefer not to be bothered with such calls. On the other hand, if you would like the reminders to keep your service active, you may choose to register your home phone number with TracFone.
The other piece of information that you are not required to submit is an airtime card number. I usually skip that step during the registration process. The reason is that I prefer to make sure that everything is working correctly with the phone, and that I actually like the phone, before I add any airtime.
Finally, one other little tip here: write down the phone number, serial number (also called ESN or IMEI), and SIM serial number. You can find these items in the phone's "prepaid" menu. This information is especially helpful if someone other than the owner is managing the phone, or if the phone would happen to get lost or stolen.
Now that your phone is active, you might also be interested in my tips for adding airtime to your TracFone.

Although today's Russell report was mostly positive in its dismissal of allegations against climate scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA), it did assert repeatedly that scientists there needed to show more "openness." Scientists in the university's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) were last year inundated with requests for data under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The authors of the report (pdf) found that "there was unhelpfulness in responding to requests and evidence that e-mails might have been deleted in order to make them unavailable should a subsequent request be made for them." The authors said that UEA management should have identified this problem in their risk management to prevent damage to the university's reputation.
Speaking to the press after the release of the report, Muir Russell, panel chair and a former university vice chancellor, said that "there needs to be new ways of making results and data available. ... There needs to be ways of handling criticism and challenge, of responding to a range of different sorts of criticism and getting into a more productive relationship with critics than we have sometimes seen in this case." He went on to say: "We identify the need for some sort of 'public space' where these issues can be aired in an atmosphere that is at the same time unthreatening and properly challenging."
Panel member James Norton, a government adviser on IT security, said: "Now more than ever, science needs to be open. Scientists don't own their data and have at most a temporary lease on it." Russell said that CRU did feel under siege from FOIA requests. "They felt that the same sorts of criticisms and challenges kept coming back and there was a feeling that they had done all they could do."
Russell acknowledged that there are lessons here for all universities conducting controversial but important research. Every university has "jewels in the crown" like CRU, he said, but "you'd better make sure they're properly resourced." In the case of CRU, Russell's report said that UEA's senior management should have accepted more responsibility for implementing the required processes for FOIA ... compliance.
Earlier reports into UEA's e-mail issue also highlighted the problem of openness. A report from the U.K. Parliament's Science and Technology Committee noted in March "a culture of non-disclosure at CRU and instances where information may have been deleted, to avoid disclosure." And an inquiry into CRU's science backed by UEA said in April, "A host of important unresolved questions also arises from the application of Freedom of Information legislation in an academic context."
Other researchers echo the report's call for greater openness. Chris Huntingford of Britain's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, says in a prepared statement:
Although the basic science of climate change can be trusted, it must be totally transparent, stating what we know for certain, and be very clear indeed where uncertainties remain. The methods used to make predictions of future change will have to withstand extreme levels of scrutiny, whether that is from colleagues, policymakers or the general public. So whilst the process following on from the CRU email leak has been painful, there is absolutely clear that this new level of accountability should be very much welcomed.
Some will no doubt complain that it takes up too much time. But my betting is that once it becomes a habit, the time overhead will be less than expected. When under pressure to reply to Freedom-of-Information requests, that additional built-in transparency means we can forward all such documentation. So ultimately enhanced openness could actually save time and comes with the added benefit of retaining trust in the science of climate change.
The last twenty years has seen a shift, from research in to the global environment being an intellectual curiosity to one of utmost importance. For those working in the field, this is both rewarding but it also brings new responsibilities. I'm quietly confident the research community will rise to this challenge, being kept "on our toes" by the ever increasing levels of examination.
Julia Slingo, chief scientist at the U.K.'s Met Office, says:
Climate change has huge implications societal and economically, so it is right that the science is subject to the closest scrutiny and we fully support the need for greater openness and clarity. We are already taking action by making data and codes available, and we have led an international proposal for a new global daily land surface temperature dataset, which has the backing of the World Meteorological Organization and has open access as its key element.

|Reviews for At Fate's Hands
| Guest chapter 29 . 5/3
I love good Nu, she has a lot of potential that is rarely explored.
| Guest chapter 27 . 5/3
Very Good writing. The plot, while convoluted, feels like Blazblue(quite possibly the most confusing game in existence if you consider how screwed up the continuity is). The OCs are important, but only as side characters or something new for the main cast. Voivod especially is interesting.
| B.B.Wolf123 chapter 5 . 1/28
I'm only on chapter 5, but I'm enjoying this story a lot so far. Your writing is great, and I'm loving the dialogue, battles, and the way you characterize everyone. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your fic!
| SuspiciousCook chapter 35 . 7/29/2014
| Roses Of Yuushi chapter 35 . 7/28/2014
It is enviable how you've managed to weave the lore of BlazBlue into such a thought out, amazingly well written and perfectly paced tale. I can't wait to read your next installment, and I have to congratulate you on your incredible story thus far. Thank you for sharing this with the world, and undoubtedly inspiring others to forge ahead with their own tales. You are a gift to consumers and producers of fanfiction alike.
Side Note: Your perfectly crafted versions of Relius and Terumi have to be two of the most annoyingly persistent antagonists i've ever read. Understandable given their roles in a series that is essentially about inevitability and the fragility of our perception of free will, but damn i'll be celebrating when they finally expire. I have to REALLY give you kudos for your portrayal of them. Awesome job!
| MovieVillain chapter 35 . 7/10/2014
Can you please continue on?
| Aged chapter 35 . 7/1/2014
I don't like how Jin talks so...casually about killing. I know it's carried over from canon but this don't excuses it. You can always get rid of the more...inconvenient(aka bad) parts of the canon without major damage. I think we call it Fix Fic, right? Well, if it's totally focused on it.
For another side...living forever has its uses. If it means you can't be killed. I excpect Voivod to make some heroic sacrifice out of it.
It's supposed to be a mistery who possesed Terumi? Well, then I bet it's Bang.
| VadeXtra chapter 35 . 6/29/2014
Nice job finishing this looooong fic! It has been such a long ride.
I am looking forward to that shift in character focus... especially that Terumi twist. I enjoy the throughout attention to all the characters and the carefully written plot, but the long pause between plots for different characters (a given since you write each section in detail) sometimes distract the overall flow and focus of the story. Sometimes I forget what they were doing and have to reread a few chapters back just to check that out.
BTW about the Terumi's possession... I'm pretty sure you have already decided who it is, but I hope it isn't one of the major characters, who need more focus and development than being Terumi's pawn. Personally I think it would be fun to see him possess Jubei...
Anyways, keep the stories coming!
| Rialga chapter 35 . 6/27/2014
Whoa. This chapter was incredibly tense in a number of ways. The situation between Jubei and Kokonoe. Izanami's punishment on Voivod, the poor bastard. And more. But Jin now possibly taking up Hakumen's mantle is definitely something of note as is Noel's determination to use her power to help kill Izanami. But Terumi! Oh man, I sure hope it's not one of the MAIN main characters that he possessed...
I wish you well on writing the next and final installment of this trilogy and in life in general. Also looking forward to your one-shot if/when you get it up; an Azrael story sounds pretty interesting.
| Fireminer chapter 35 . 6/27/2014
Ending, Beginning, is it matter with a wheel?
Anyway, great story! I should congrat you.
Also, just wondering, the life of the commoners much be in such disorder now. Thinking whether if this is the perfect chance for a revolution. Jin, Bang, Tsubaki and even Jubei have a lot of followers, am I correct?
Also, how about merging Yukianesa with Mu-12? A true Yuki-Onna?
| mysteriousguy898 chapter 35 . 6/27/2014
Thank you for this awesome read. If Terumi picked Tsubaki, I'll never forgive either of you, but I'll endure. How would he explain away a change in voice or eye color from two methods of mind control? I see there will be at least one chapter of training montage for the new weapons, which is great.
| King of Beasts chapter 35 . 6/26/2014
*Slows claps appreciatively*
I am glad to say that I followed this all the way from On Strange Wings up until now, and I'm not disappointed.:)
I'll be looking forward to the third installation of this trilogy. Until then, I'll be re-reading the first two for kicks. See you in part three!
| Fireminer chapter 34 . 6/3/2014
A great story indeed! The battle could quite quite a headache to read, still, it's good.
With Noel gained Mu's power, what is next for Jin? Okami?
| Ashcroft the Second chapter 34 . 5/21/2014
I feel ashamed, not reviewing this chapter for as long as I did! I have to say, this was one of my favorites so far, in spite of the lack of action-or perhaps because of it? I don't know. I just like the quiet moments for the perspective they give the "war." Especially getting the chance to see Ragna and Tsubaki properly reunite: not going to lie, I grinned like a dope.
| JinxTsubaki4ever chapter 34 . 5/20/2014
Hay Velvien, when are you going to make another JinxTsubaki fic, I'd love to see one from you.

Certainly agree with what monger posted.And if I somehow was not clear that I only was making a point of reference that kaminak is first up to drill before atac,then its my bad. I own a bit of kam and the maiden 43-101 has cemented any loose doubts as to the size of that growing resource.o
We can only hope here at gsr to hit 1 or 2 good holes if and when they do a program of substance. Afterall there is not confirmation of a resource yet. But the hunch based on the samples and area look promising. Even more is the fact this is a district! Seems the nucks are about to part with the future again? Gillis was in washington scouting young talent, only Corey would fetch that.

This guest post is by Kevin Prufer, whose newest books are National Anthem (Four Way Books, 2008) and Little Paper Sacrifice (Four Way Books, forthcoming). He's also Editor of New European Poets (Graywolf Press, 2008) and Pleiades: A Journal of New Writing.
The speakers in these carefully crafted poems are, first of all, keen and imaginative observers. One sits in a cafeteria watching a workman eat boiled rice until the grains "carried by the chapped hand / . . . gather and scatter like clouds between the blistered lips." Another stands outside at night observing the moon, telling us how "I turned around / and caught her furtive eye, her soiled feet. / Blushing, as if she were being watched, she hid behind a cloud / and reappeared in the distance." A third narrator stands in a hospital corridor listening to the agony of the others, "a judge of cries," teasing stories out of pain. "Every cry is singular," she tells us,
like a bird's feather,
so that even without touching the trembling shoulder
you can tell if the crier has just learned the name of his disease,
or if he has been sentenced to death,
or if he weeps over a cold body.
Heeduk Ra's poems, set in Korea's cities (a hospital elevator, a church's back stairway) and natural landscapes (where graves become boats and falling snow becomes feathers, flowers, rice), are filled with intricate detail, surprising turns, and moments of sadness, transcendence and breathtaking grace. Here, the daily minutia of Korean life are rich with imagery, reflecting not just their own details, but the brilliant and unpredictable mind that would tell us about them and, in so doing, imbue them with deeply personal turns of phrase and sharp, often witty, metaphors.
In one of the book's most lovely poems, the speaker contemplates renting a room, finding in the mundane task a deep connection with Korea's history and the lives of others:
To rent a room in Damyang or Changpyung,
to visit it like a chipmunk,
I looked in every village I came across.
Walking past a place in Jasil,
I saw common flowers in the yard
between the traditional Korean house and a modern annex.
When I entered through the open gate,
a man was sharpening his scythe on the grindstone
and his wife's scarf was wet, as if she had just returned from the fields.
"Excuse me, I wonder if I could rent a room.
I'll stay here two or three nights a week."
When I pointed at the traditional house
she smiled. "Well, our children moved to Seoul,
so we live in the annex. Yes, the main house
is unoccupied, but we hold it in our hearts.
Our family history lies there."
Listening to her, I saw the clean wooden floor
on which lay day's last light.
I didn't press for the room, I left,
wondering if the couple knew
that I'd already rented it, was living in their words—
that in their hearts they lived in the vacant house.
Heeduk Ra, born in Nonsan in 1966, is widely regarded as one of Korea's preeminent younger poets. Woo Chung-Kim and Christopher Merrill's plainspoken, moving translation makes it clear why. Distinguished for their graceful sensibility, rich imagery, and subtle intelligence, these poems will hopefully bring a wide English language readership to this valuable poet.
"Rambling Jack—what's that?"
"A novel. Novella, I guess."
"Yeah, it looks short. What is it, a hundred pages?"
"Sorta. It's a duel language book, so really, only about… 50 pages total."
"50 pages?"
"Including illustrations."
"And this—what. . .

Book Description
The definitive guide to the uke, its legends and history (plus a fantastic songbook)
The ukulele has gone from strength to strength in recent years, undergoing a massive resurgence. You can hear the uke all over the place, from trendster indie rock to top ten pop songs, from unshakeable TV ads to YouTube megahits. And this obsession shows no sign of abating - all over the country people are picking up a ukulele and starting to strum, at home, in classes and down at the pub. Schools are even replacing the faithful recorder with a jazzy, inexpensive uke. Famous idlers Gavin Pretor-Pinney and Tom Hodginson have spent hours idling away on their ukuleles to produce the ultimate uke handbook: an illustrated guide to its history crossed with a how-to guide and songbook. This is the book that will bring the underground movement into the mainstream. The first half of the book delves into the rich history of this eccentric little instrument, from its birth in Hawaii to its popularity across the world, with a timeline from 1897 to today and a ukulele hall of fame that includes George Formby, Hawaiian legend Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and YouTube ukulele superstar Jake Shimabukuro.
Then on to the practicalities: the anatomy of the ukulele, which uke to buy, how to play it, how to strum, pick, read chord charts and tune the strings. Once you know all this, you can get playing the songbook, which includes a wide spread of songs from medieval lays and nursery rhymes to blues and rock 'n roll. Beautiful presentation and tab notation make reading the music easy, even for beginners.
About the Author

When it comes to Thanksgiving, some people pride themselves on their stuffing, while others line-up early for Black Friday deals.
And some take the turkey-centric holiday even further. Take, for instance, Barbara Orr Ehrhart: the bride who celebrated her passion for the day's main dish at her wedding -- and we're not just talking about the menu.
From a wedding gown made entirely of turkey feathers, and feathers (in lieu of rice) thrown at the newlyweds after the wedding ceremony, Orr Erhhart let none of the bird go to waste on her Big Day.
Below, a slideshow of the kooky, turkey-filled festivities from the archives of LIFE magazine.
In 1947, designer Barbara Orr Ehrhart walked down the aisle in a gown made from turkey feathers -- designed and constructed by the bride herself. It took 500 yards of white plume feathers (a truckload of White Holland turkeys) and several months to make the wedding dress.
And she wasn't the only one wearing feathers. In addition to her own wedding gown, Orr Ehrhart also made dresses for her bridesmaids from turkey feathers for her Oregon wedding.
Orr Ehrhart collected 34,000 white plumes from 300 turkeys and dyed them yellow, pale green and black for her Big Day. The bride said that the wild birds she collected feathers from were dead or fatally injured before she considered using them.
One of the bridesmaid's dresses was valued at $18,000 at the time -- which would be nearly $175,000 in today's dollars.
After the ceremony, wedding guests threw feathers -- not rice -- and settled down for a (you guessed it) turkey dinner.

This is only the second question with the parallel-python tag. After looking through the documentation and googling for the subject, I've come here as it's where I've had the best luck with answers and suggestions.
The following is the API (I think it's called) that submits all pertinent info to pp.
def submit(self, func, args=(), depfuncs=(), modules=(),
callback=None, callbackargs=(), group='default', globals=None):
"""Submits function to the execution queue
func - function to be executed
args - tuple with arguments of the 'func'
depfuncs - tuple with functions which might be called from 'func'
modules - tuple with module names to import
callback - callback function which will be called with argument
list equal to callbackargs+(result,)
as soon as calculation is done
callbackargs - additional arguments for callback function
group - job group, is used when wait(group) is called to wait for
jobs in a given group to finish
globals - dictionary from which all modules, functions and classes
will be imported, for instance: globals=globals()
Here is my submit statement with its arguments:
job_server.submit(reify, (pop1, pop2, 1000),
depfuncs = (key_seq, Chromosome, Params, Node, Tree),
modules = ("math",),
callback = sum.add, globals = globals())
All the capitalized names in
depfuncs are the names of classes. I wasn't sure where to put the classes or even if I would need to include them as they are in the
globals() dictionary. But when I ran it with the
depfuncs() empty, it would raise an error such as "
Tree not defined" (for example).
key_seq is a generator, so I have to work with an instance of it in order to be able to use
def key_seq():
a = 0
while True:
yield a
a = a + 1
ks = key_seq()
ks is defined in
globals(). When I didn't include it anywhere else, I got an error saying '
ks is not defined'.
When I include
ks in
depfuncs, this is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python26\Code\gppp.py", line 459, in <module>
job_server.submit(reify, (pop1, pop2, 1000), depfuncs = (key_seq, ks, Chromosome, Params, Node, Tree), modules = ("math",), callback = sum.add, globals = globals())
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pp.py", line 449, in submit
sfunc = self.__dumpsfunc((func, ) + depfuncs, modules)
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pp.py", line 634, in __dumpsfunc
sources = [self.__get_source(func) for func in funcs]
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pp.py", line 713, in __get_source
sourcelines = inspect.getsourcelines(func)[0]
File "C:\Python26\lib\inspect.py", line 678, in getsourcelines
lines, lnum = findsource(object)
File "C:\Python26\lib\inspect.py", line 519, in findsource
file = getsourcefile(object) or getfile(object)
File "C:\Python26\lib\inspect.py", line 441, in getsourcefile
filename = getfile(object)
File "C:\Python26\lib\inspect.py", line 418, in getfile
raise TypeError('arg is not a module, class, method, '
TypeError: arg is not a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object
I'm pretty sure
arg is referring to
ks. So, where do I tell
.submit() about
ks? I don't understand what's supposed to go where. Thanks.

Biographical Sketches of Margaret Ann McGee Pettigrew and William Thomas McGee As published in The Salem Monitor issue of Nov. 4, 1897.
There is a history of the McGee family that we consider proper to relate at this time.
1- We will begin with the Rev. William McGee, the grand-father of Margaret Ann McGee Pettigrew. We find the following biographical sketch given of him in McDonald's History of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
"William McGee was born in N.C. in 1768. He was licensed and ordained in N.C. before 1796, at which time he was sent West as a missionary. He joined the Cumberland Presbyterian in Oct. 1810, and helped to form the confession in 1814. He died in 1817."
He was licensed and ordained in the Presbyterian Church and remained a member of it until the time he became a member of the Cumberland Presbytery as shown above. The "West" referred to in the biography has reference to that part of the states of Kentucky and Tennessee that lies between Green River in KY., and the TN. River in TN. This section of the West was known as "The Cumberland Country." From the best evidence we have at hand, William McGee lived in TN.
John McGee, a brother of William McGee was a minister in the Methodist Church. It was through these two brothers that what is known as "the union" was accomplished. Of which McDonald says: "The union formed in the time of the McGees was nothing more than a written contract to commune together and hold meetings together --- "union meetings." This was the beginning of inter-denominational communion which is so popular and wide-spread in America, and is now breaking down the denominational bigotry of the East, and it is to be hoped that within a few more years it will accomplish as much in the Eastern churches as it has accomplished in America.
William McGee was pastor of the Old Beech Church in Sumner county., TN. This church and its pastor sided with the revival party in 1800 and with its pastor came in the Cumberland Presbytery soon after its organization in 1810.
We regret that we are not able to give the names of the children of William McGee.
2- John McGee, the father of Mrs. Pettigrew, was the oldest son of Rev. William McGee and form the best information we have at our command he was born in TN. The family record was destroyed in time of the late war, hence the time of birth and marriage are possibly lost. He was married to Miss Margaret Dickson of Carroll Co., TN. To them were born seven children: William, Robert, Adaline, James, Thomas, Isabella and Margaret Ann. These have all passed away except James, who lives on his farm in Dent Co., MO. John McGee lived about 25 years in Obion Co., TN where, perhapes all of his children were born. He moved to the State of Missouri in 1845 and located in Dent Co., six miles south of Salem. He died at his home some time in Sep. 1864 or 1865.
3- Margaret Ann McGee, daughter of John McGee, was born in Obion co., TN., 22 Dec. 1833 and moved to the State of Missouri with her parents in 1845. She was married to E. A. Pettigrew 26 may 1858. To them were born six children: Belle, Thomas, Margaret, Eliza, George, Robert, Fannie, and Edwin A. of whom Belle, now Mrs. Dr. Welch of Salem, MO., Thomas and Fannie, now Mrs Owens of Dent Co., MO. and Edwin A. of Montana, are still living. etc...her death, which occurred 11 Oct 1897 at the home of her dau, Mrs. Dr. Welch, in Salem, MO. etc etc

Pastor, C. P. Church
Salem, MO. 28 Oct 1897
Biography of William Thomas McGee
1- Rev William McGee (same as above)
2- John McGee gr-father of Wm. Thomas McGee (as above)
3- William McGee, the son of John and the father of William Thomas, was born in TN. and came with his father to MO. in 1845. He was married to Miss Martha Ross on 24th Feb 1858, in Hickman Co., KY. To this couple were born six children----William, Thomas, Sudie, John, Mollie, Amanda and Fins Ewing McGee. William McGee died 22 Sep 1892, at his home in Dent Co., MO., seven miles south of Salem, where he settled when he md and where his widow and one son still live.
4- William Thomas, son of William McGee, was born 5 Aug 1859, in Dent Co., MO. and md: Miss Martha A. Pemberton, 21 Sep 1881. To whom were born three sons----William Jessie, Lawrence and John Clyde McGee. He made a profession of religion in 1881 and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at new Hope, Dent Co., MO. In 1883 he moved to Salem and became a member of the Cumberland Presb. Church at that place. etc. He was stricken with typhoid fever from which he died on 21 Oct 1897. etc...
I have another record of the McGee and Pettigrew family line and will post that later.

Hmmmmmmmm ... must be enemy teritory or somethin'!
I've used a pair of first generation 645AFs since late '99, I previously owned a pair of 645 Supers which were later sold for a 'blad 553 which was replaced in the studio by an RZ c.1992.
... neway, before the 645AFs I shot a Nikon F4s system for candids.
I don't shoot NASCAR, NBA or any other such subjects so "slow" AF on the F4s and slow-er on the 645AF bodies are a non-issue. I don't shoot babies but I don't *think* you'd have a problem with either an AF or an AFD
I still use the RZ for portraiture though

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut — Oh, if the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society only knew.
As Pantera, Slayer, Static-X, Morbid Angel and Skrape laid siege to the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday night at the launch of the Extreme Steel tour, the mind boggled at the thought of the Jehovah's Witness event staged at the same venue two nights earlier.
Would they approve of the thin trails of smoke of dubious origin wafting across the arena? What would they think of Slayer vocalist Tom Araya's lyrics about shooting sprees, madness and hell? And what would they make of the fan gleefully toting a hand-drawn "Show us your t–s" sign?
Chances are most normal folks wouldn't much care for the shenanigans that played out at the coliseum Wednesday night. (Click here for photos from the tour launch.) Fortunately, "normal folks" aren't a big part of Pantera's target audience. With Ozzfest exploring the various shades of hard rock (from pimp rock to goth rock to metal and everything in between), the Extreme Steel trek is a fairly straightforward lesson in brutality, courtesy of the uncompromising metal of Pantera and Slayer.
Any experimentation was left to Static-X, who served up their industrial-flavored rock only after death-metal vets Morbid Angel had sufficiently bludgeoned the crowd. Despite the recent top-10 debut of Static-X's Machine, the band battled to a split decision Wednesday night.
Backed by a wall of amps capped by thick 6-foot-tall bolts, Static-X (including injured bassist Tony Campos, who provided backing vocals while wearing a sling) drew heavily on their 1999 debut, Wisconsin Death Trip. Familiar tracks like "Push It," "I'm With Stupid" and "Love Dump," along with new offerings like "Black and White" and "This Is Not," had most of the general admission floor bouncing, but the less-impressed angrily awaited the arrival of more brutal sounds.
Fortunately for them, Slayer weren't too far behind. Poised before an image of a ghostly demon and an imposing wall of Marshall amps, guitarist Kerry King — clad in a black sleeveless T-shirt (what, you were expecting Tommy Hilfiger?) — rocked his head back and forth as the band thrashed through its set. As bassist/vocalist Araya bellowed from underneath a mess of hair, the crowd activity intensified, including one sprawling wrestling match near the back of the arena floor.
The trek finds Slayer ramping up for the July 10 arrival of God Hates Us All, but the band offered a hefty chunk of familiar songs, including "Stain of Mind," "Mandatory Suicide" and "South of Heaven." Through it all, Slayer's rabid following grinded and churned until sweat-soaked bodies emerged from the venue floor at the close of the band's set.
It didn't take long after Slayer's set for chants of "Pan-ter-a" to rise from the crowd. It's been over a year since the headliners unleashed Reinventing the Steel, and after tours on Ozzfest and with Soulfly, this looks to be the band's last go 'round in support of it.
"This is the last time you're going to see Pantera for a very long time," frontman Phil Anselmo warned audience members, urging them to get all they could out of the show.
Anselmo and his bandmates held up their end of the deal, shedding any trace of road wear and taking the stage with the fury of an animal freed from its cage. Pantera set the pace for the rest of the show by kicking open the door with "Hell Bound," accompanied by a 12-foot wall of flames that shot from atop their amps. Anselmo worked the crowd like the lost child of Charles Manson — a tangle of hair and scruffy beard conspiring to hide his face — as the band worked through a set thick with newer tracks, including "Goddamn Electric," "Revolution Is My Name," "I'll Cast a Shadow" and the aforementioned "Hell Bound."
Despite the Steel-heavy set, the band worked in time-tested gems like "F—ing Hostile," "This Love," "I'm Broken" and "Walk" as well as live rarities like "War Nerve," "Mouth for War" and "Strength Beyond Strength" (dedicated to Slayer).
"Now this is what I call a true crowd, not a bunch of f—ing followers," Anselmo said. The trademark Anselmo displays of love were there as well, including the chest pound, the big nod, the point and the full-extension handclap.
Hopefully fans in New Haven picked up on them, because it might be a while before they see them again.
