Nibbling Away at Roe v. Wade
For the Supreme Court, Ayotte is an hors d'oeuvre.
There is an awkward bit of bride's-side/ groom's-side stage business to navigate this morning, in bypassing protesters outside the Supreme Court. For some reason, the NOW protesters are blocking the whole right side of the sidewalk, while the anti-abortion demonstrators, mouths sealed with red tape, occupy the left. Nobody seems to want to get too close to the building itself—which has seen some freaky Amityville Horror action of late, including blasted light bulbs at oral argument and the spontaneous hurling of marble chunks onto the plaza.
Once inside, there is no big woolly policy discussion of the competing rights at issue in Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood—the right of a young woman to obtain an abortion versus the right of her parents to know that she is doing so. Instead, the discussion focuses on a flaw—and virtually everyone today concedes it's a flaw—in New Hampshire's parental notification law. The statute requires a doctor to notify parents before performing an abortion on a minor, and contains an exception for cases in which the life of the teen is in peril. But it offers no exception when only her health is at risk. There is an option to bypass the parents via a judge, but that's not completely helpful in medical crises. Prior Supreme Court cases—notably Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Stenberg v. Carhart—have required such a health exception for similar statutes. The question before the court today is a lawyer's question: What to do about New Hampshire's flaw?
There's a second, technical issue in the case. Until now, when the court found that an abortion regulation imposed an "undue burden" on the mother—by requiring, for example, that she notify a spouse before obtaining an abortion—it held the statute unconstitutional "on its face." That meant the court struck down the law altogether—a broad remedy that's been rejected in most other contexts. Most of the time, a law can't be junked altogether unless a plaintiff who has been harmed by it can show that there is "no set of circumstances" in which it could be validly applied. The normal rule is known as the Salerno standard (from the 1987 case United States v. Salerno). If Salerno became the rule in abortion cases—a step the high court has refused to take thus far—then restrictions on abortion would have to be challenged after they'd gone into effect, by plaintiffs facing actual harm. It's clear today that several justices wouldn't object to such a switch. Chief Justice John Roberts, for one, plainly rejects the notion of striking down a whole statute because of a few unconstitutional applications. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor sounds almost like she agrees.
Kelly Ayotte, the New Hampshire attorney general, defends her state's parental notification statute. In her opening sentence, Ayotte characterizes a minor who might seek an abortion as a "child." Just so you know where her head is at.
Justice David Souter immediately challenges Ayotte on something he's found in her brief. He waits for her to find the place in the document and read along as he questions her assertion that in the unlikely event a doctor couldn't obtain parental consent and performed an abortion to protect the health of a minor, that doctor would not be subject to liability because his conduct is "constitutionally protected and independently justified." Souter asks how the doctor's conduct would be constitutionally protected. Ayotte doesn't have an answer. "Doesn't that mean there's a constitutional health exception?" asks Souter. His point: How can the doctor be constitutionally protected unless there is a constitutional right to protect? Ayotte replies that the doctor would be protected from liability under a "competing harms doctrine." Also, her office would be "prepared to issue an opinion" in such cases on the doctor's behalf. Perhaps a note like the one pinned to Paddington Bear: "Please exempt this doctor from liability."
Justice Stephen Breyer wants to talk real-life horror stories (click here to listen), like when a pregnant 15-year-old with high blood pressure walks into an emergency room at 2 a.m. on a Saturday. She's not about to die, but absent an abortion right now she will not bear more children. She refuses to tell her folks. The doctor who sees the girl "doesn't want to risk prosecution," says Breyer. "And he happens to have his lawyer with him." So, what does his lawyer advise? Ayotte cites the competing harms defense. Says Breyer: "But how do you know that's actually the law? Lots of people say this isn't a competing harm. Many say in good faith that the life of the fetus is more important than the possibility of the mother having more children."
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg adds that for a doctor whose license is on the line, the prospect of a possible "defense" is pretty cold comfort. The doctor doesn't want an opinion from the attorney general. He needs to know in advance that he's not violating the law. Justice Antonin Scalia needs to change the subject fast and he does, advising Ayotte to make her other argument—the one about why courts shouldn't find entire statutes invalid based on a few unconstitutional applications. This leads Roberts to ask, for the first of many times this morning, whether Ayotte would accept a "pre-enforcement as-applied challenge" to the statute, brought by doctors facing prosecution.
I am sure that "pre-enforcement as-applied challenge" means something. Perhaps that the doctors facing potential prosecution could come forward to challenge the statute as applied to all of them before the cops actually knock on their doors. What I can't quite figure out is how Roberts' characterization truly differs from the position of the plaintiffs here. Ginsburg makes this point better than I can (she is talking to Ayotte because she can't just ask Roberts, at least not until they get behind closed doors): "You characterize this as an 'as applied' challenge. But how is it 'as applied' if the doctor doesn't have to wait for an emergency?" Justice John Paul Stevens adds, "Do you have to wait until the doctor has an actual patient in his office?" The nice thing about finding a whole statute unconstitutional up front, as the district court and the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals did in this case, is that doctors needn't wait for some woman to be bleeding on a gurney before finding out what they are and aren't allowed to do.
Solicitor General Paul Clement gets 10 minutes to argue on New Hampshire's side. He says the statute shouldn't be gutted based on hypothetical health emergencies—which he characterizes as "literally one case in a thousand." He and Breyer then step all over each other for a while, with Clement curiously refusing to give ground. When Scalia suggests the court should defer to the New Hampshire legislature, Souter notes that what the legislature wanted was clear: It wanted no health exception because that is seen as a big fat loophole. Souter points out that the court should hardly graft it back onto their statute.
Jennifer Dalven has half an hour to argue for Planned Parenthood, and she is in the unenviable position of defending the court's decision in Casey against attacks from the justices who signed the majority opinion in that case. When she suggests that delays in performing abortions might lead to liver and kidney damage or strokes or infertility, Justice Anthony Kennedy (one-third of the trio that saved the core of Roe v. Wade in Casey) cuts her off to ask whether the time taken by a doctor's mere "telephone call to a judge" would really lead to all these awful results. Dalven replies that "every minute is critical."

I tried out both programs briefly and I would reccomend Magarena because it has nicer interface, faster gameplay, better A.I., undo button, prebuilt files (but for some reason they are all multisphere). I feel kind of stupid waiting for hours downloading pictures for the other program since I ended up deleting it.
Downside is less cards, but that's kind a plus for me. I made a newb blue/white merfolk file that is doing well. My main issue with the game so far is the pace of the game with the resource sytem. It's not too exciting waiting to get you lands set up so you can do stuff. Depending on how frequently you draw lands, the game can be over before a player even gets started. Also, having to click through instant timings and such is pretty tedious.

News and Recent Developments
- April 2013: Interesting facts about the Sun Oven - Recently Paul Munsen, Sun Ovens International president, was questioned about where their ovens were being sold. They have been sold in over 130 countries. The Sun Oven is usually considered to be the standard which other solar box cookers are judged by. They are well made of quality components and quite durable. They have a revised version of the Sun Oven called the All American Sun Oven that has a 20% larger cooking area and new wind resistance features. Interestingly, forty-two percent of the Sun Ovens sold worldwide are sold in the state of Utah, USA. Munsen believes seventy percent of the ovens are being kept on shelves with emergency food supplies, the rest are used on a regular basis. The owners appreciate the versatility of the cooker, with the added benefit of helping to lower household kitchen temperatures during hot summer months. When Munsen was recently demonstrating in the Sun Oven in Afghanistan to a group of local women, he was told the cooker could not provide the smoky favor desired in their flatbread, known as naan. Paul's wife suggested adding a few drops of liquid smoke to the batter. A recent delivery of ovens was accompanied by a 55-gallon drum of liquid smoke. The liquid smoke offers some advantages over smoky fires. Munsen says women cooking over fires can inhale as much smoke as they'd get from smoking three packs of cigarettes a day, and children are more likely to contract acute lower respiratory and eye infections.

- April 2013: Jack Howell reports that once the 100 volunteer-built solar ovens were delivered, a solar box cooker variation with a wooden base and 1" of rigid insulation, refugee families were bused to the Trust in Education office in Kabul, Afghanistan. They were given a four-hour lesson on how to use the solar ovens, and each family was given an oven to take back to their camp. Since this initial project, the new cookers are a CooKit variation, being produced at a local box manufacturing company in San Leandro, California. The reflective material used for the solar panel cookers is recycled Mylar coffee bean bags from Peet's coffee headquartered in Berkeley, California. They are cut open and cleaned by adults with developmental disabilities by the people from Futures Explored in Lafayette, CA. With the reflective interior surface facing out, they are then stapled to the cooker panels by the Afghans. We have delivered 2,000 cookers to Afghanistan and collected over 20,000 bags from Peet's (keeping many Mylar bags from the landfill.) The new cookers are working very well and Afghans love them.
- October 2012: Parabolic solar cookers delivered to Afghanistan's remote Wakhan Corridor. The Kirghiz tribe live at the end of this slender finger of land in northeastern Afghanistan. Their primary fuel source for cooking has been dried yak dung, creating smoky conditions in their yurts. The buffalo-like yaks are used for most of their transportation needs. In June, Jeff Waalkes in Kirghizstan and Grace Magney with the Global Hope Network in Kabul were able to deliver ten parabolic solar cookers to the tribe. Grace organized the procurement and had the cookers loaded onto a truck. Jeff's responsibility was to get the truck into the Wakhan Corridor, and where the road petered out, strap everything including the solar cookers to the backs of yaks to deliver them to the Kirghiz. Initially hesitant, members of the tribe were soon cooking food and boiling water. See more of Jeff's photos of the delivery.
- September 2012: Kabul parabolic solar stove company, Starlight Afghan Free Energy Co. improve their reflective surface with a tested 95% reflectivity and are proudly manufacturing 100% Afghan made stoves.
- August 2011: The Spendid Table radio show inteviews SCI Board Member Patricia McArdle - Listen to Patricia discussing solar cooking in Afghanistan.
- July 2011 Patricia McArdle was interviewed on the Kojo Nnambi Show by Rebecca Roberts to discuss her first book, Farishta, and her work bringing solar ovens to the rural poor in Afghanistan. Listen to the interview.
- June 2011: Voice of America interviews Patricia McArdle about her novel Farishta - Solar Cookers International board-member Patricia McArdle discusses her award-winning novel in which solar cooking in Afghanistan is featured. Audio available here.
- September 2010: Trust in Education is a nonprofit that has been involved with building schools in Afghanistan, and has recently begun to send a few solar ovens to the area where they have projects. They hope to build up their efforts helping to introduce solar cooking to local villagers.
- June 2010: SCI board member Pat McArdle's novel about solar cooking in Afghanistan wins Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award!
- May 2010: A Scheffler Community Kitchen is currently being installed at the Jamhuriat High School for Girls in Afghanistan, through the efforts of Solare Brücke. Located in the heart of Kabul, it is planned to be operational in June. Of the current enrollment of 1000 girls, the new kitchen will serve approximately 700 students who have lunch at the school each day. Everyone there looks forward to stop using the wood-fired kitchen stove, and are quite proud that the entire new solar kitchen has been produced in Afghanistan.
- April 2010: Afghan Scouts Harness Solar Energy - U.S. Army Soldiers are teaming with the Afghan Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts in Kabul, reducing the need to use wood as a fuel source. Through finding an alternate fuel source they are helping to create a cleaner Afghan environment while creating a more economical way of cooking. The solution: a solar oven, a box with a glass lid and reflective panels that absorb energy from the sun, trapping the energy inside the box to heat food and water. Solar ovens can bake, fry or steam any type of food.
- August 2005: Manufacturing of the first Scheffler Community Kitchen in Afghanistan was started in the Afghan Bedmoschk Solar Centre. The Solar Centre is initiated and run by our partner organisation Afghan Bedmoschk Solar Centre e.V. Scheffler reflectors can be used for solar cooking, solar baking, solar food processing and as well for production of steam for applications of process heat or for the requirements of hospitals (laundry , autoclaves, cooking). The first application planed in Bedmoschk is a Solar Tandur for cooking the local flatbread. The technical part of the project is done by Solare Brücke e.V.
The History of Solar Cooking in Afghanistan
This country, much in Western news in the last years as the refuge of Al-Quaeda members, has actually had solar activity for some time. A newspaper account (Kabul New Times, July 6,1985 (in the Soviet era) discusses research activity for utilization of solar energy, conducted under the auspices of the Solar Energy Institute, a part of the Academy of Sciences of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The effort was principally directed towards the potential heating of houses (not cooking, in the article shown) in recognition of "an increasing deficiency of traditional (presumably meaning wood) and other energy sources". The article further states that since Afghanistan has 300 sunny days per year, conditions are favorable for generating solar energy. The device pictured in the article is a flat plate collector, with two scientists working on its development. Not long after this article was published however, the solar research work most likely ceased with the end of the Soviet regime and the beginning of the Taliban period.
In a later era, this one under Taliban rule, the SERVE Solar Project, operating in Peshawar, Pakistan, moved its operations to Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in order to serve the population of refugees then returning to Afghanistan, after the departure of the Soviets. SERVE is a British humanitarian agency with projects in health, disability services, relief, and environmental issues. Its work in Pakistan began in refugee camps filled by an Afghan population in 1980. While working on other problems, SERVE discovered the severity of fuel shortages and based on that need, developed a large scale and very successful solar cooking project (see the report on Pakistan). Refugees who moved back took their box cookers with them and demand in Afghanistan was substantial. Initally, SERVE trucked box cookers to Kabul for sale in the market places. Later, they established an office in-country. In 2001, as Taliban rule tightened, SERVE (considered to be a "Christian" organization and hence not acceptable) was forcibly ejected from the country, its gates locked, its staff deported. (Newspaper clipping, NYTimes, date?) After Taliban rule ended, and under the present US led military assistance while the provisional government becomes established and stable, solar cooking has returned to the country. Several projects are underway currently, all too new to have been evaluated for the achievement of their goals. The following agencies are known to have a presence in the country, with a solar cooking component.
Under the leadership of retired SERVE staffer, Gordon Magney (now desceased) and his wife Grace Magney, who returned to live in Kabul in 2002, a small project is underway utilizing a new box cooker developed by an American NGO, the Solar Oven Society (See section in chapter Multi-National Promoters). The new cooker, called the Sport is made of recycled soda bottles with a Mylar cover and (soon to be available) shiny reflectors. Four hundred of the cookers were shipped to Kabul, unassembled, along with the equipment required to assemble the finished product. Under the supervision of Magney, that has now been accomplished. Training of users and sale of the cookers at a cost subsidized by a number of Minnesota churches is underway.
Another project in Afghanistan is sponsored by the Rotary international network (also discussed in the Multi-National Promoter section). A humanitarian unit called The Temple Solar Project was established by several Rotary groups in November of 1998. It has been supplying large community sized cookers called The Villager (produced by Sun Oven) to communities around the world. The cost of each villager is $10,000, plus shipping costs of an additional $3,500. Five of the Villagers have been shipped to Afghanistan; two are already installed and in operation. The others are in transit or awaiting delivery. The first oven was installed in a school, in collaboration with an organization called Friends for Afghan Redevelopment, cooking food for students and staff.. Some smaller solar cookers are not particularly effective in cooking the traditional Afghan bread, an unleavened "naan"type, which is however easily made in the Village. The large oven can also be used for bakeries as income generating projects or in institutional settings such as schools or hospitals. Logistical difficulties are continuous, including moving the goods through customs, appropriate training, and so on, but the projects are proceeding according to plan.
An individual, Laila Petty, was prepared and equipped, by an experienced solar cook associated with SCI, to promote solar cooking, prior to a extended visit she was planning to make to Afghanistan. A native Dari speaker, Ms. Petty was particularly interested in the plight of the "internal displaced persons"(IDP) in Afghanistan who do not receive international assistance from refugee organizations, but are nonetheless homeless and poorly served by charitable organizations. Early in her yearlong stay in Afghanistan, she made a number of contacts with relief agencies; did a number of demonstrations, more or less on her own, and conducted training for cooks in several IDP locations. Her work was well received, but agencies in the country were already overburdened by the difficulties of working in the country and none took up her offer to assist in development of a solar cooking project. She was even able to locate a, potential manufacturer of CooKits, the device she was using to demonstrate, and the cheapest solar cookers available. However, none of her work resulted in any substantial interest. She ultimately found a different cause to work on, but would be willing to assist in a solar project should one develop.

Saudi Arabian petrochemical plant. Source: Creative Commons
Petrochemicals are chemical products made from the hydrocarbons present in raw natural gas and petroleum crude oil. The largest petrochemical manufacturing industries are to be found in the USA, Western Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
A relatively small number of hydrocarbon feedstocks form the basis of the petrochemical industries, namely methane, ethylene, propylene, butanes, butadiene, benzene, toluene and xylenes.[1][2]
As of 2007, there were 2980 operating petrochemical plants in 4320 locations worldwide.[3] The petrochemical end products from those plants include plastics, soaps, detergents, solvents, paints, drugs, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, explosives, synthetic textile fibers and rubber, flooring and insulating materials and more.
Petrochemicals are found in such common consumer products as aspirin,automobiles, clothing, compact discs, video tapes, electronic equipment, furniture, and a host of others.[4]
Feedstock sources
The adjacent block flow diagram schematically depicts the major hydrocarbon sources used in producing petrochemicals:
- Methane, ethane, propane and butanes: Obtained primarily from natural gas processing plants.
- Naphtha: Obtained primarily from petroleum refineries.
- Benzene, toluene and xylenes, as a whole referred to as BTX: Primarily obtained from petroleum refineries by extraction from the reformate produced in catalytic reformers.
- Gas oil: Also obtained primarily from petroleum refineries.
Methane and BTX (benzene, toluene and xylenes) are used directly as feedstocks for producing petrochemicals. However, the ethane, propane, butanes, naphtha and gas oil serve as optional feedstocks for steam-assisted thermal cracking plants referred to as steam crackers that produce these intermediate petrochemical feedstocks:[5][6]
- Ethylene
- Propylene
- Benzene
- Butenes and butadiene
In 2007, the amounts of ethylene and propylene produced in steam crackers were about 115 Mt (megatonnes) and 70 Mt, respectively.[7] The output ethylene capacity of large steam crackers ranged up to as much as 1.0 – 1.5 Mt per year.[8][9].
Steam crackers are not to be confused with steam reforming plants used to produce hydrogen and ammonia.
Worldwide usage of optional steam cracking feedstock sources
As of 2004, the percentage of the worldwide steam cracking plants using each of the optional steam cracking feed sources was:[10]
- Ethane: 35%
- Propane: 9%
- Butanes: 3%
- Naphtha: 45%
- Gas oil: 5%
- Other: 3 %
The effect of feedstock on the steam cracking yields of intermediate petrochemical products
The effect of feedstock selection upon the yields of steam cracking products is summarized in the table below:
Feedstocks and example petrochemical products

The Dragunov or alternatively SVD-1 is a sniper rifle featured only in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It replaces the PSG-1 from GTA Vice City, to fit the time period (1984). The weapon is referred to as "Laser Sniper" in-game and fires faster than its regular counterpart. It holds 7 rounds per magazine and also appears as a rampage weapon.
- Washington Beach - Spawns on the roof of the police station.
- Vice Point - Available at the Ammu-Nation shop for $8,000, (decreased to $4,000 when the player beats Phil's Shooting Range).
- For some reason, the red dot will become a non-transparent, red pixelated texture dot when aimed on the water. This is most likey a glitch.
- The HUD looks like the PSG-1 from GTA Vice City showing that Rockstar was intending to use a PSG in Vice City Stories, but it was cut during the development of the game.

The Suunto D9tx is the world's first all-in-one wrist trimix dive computer. It brings together top-of-the-line features in a full titanium housing with sapphire glass, creating a design that complements a boardroom suit as well as it does a wetsuit. With gas switching between up to eight gases, the same technical RGBM as the award-winning Suunto HelO2, and an easy-to-read 3D tilt-compensated compass, it's the perfect all-in-one companion for adventurous spirits. A trimix-compatible dive computer opens up the increasingly popular world of technical diving including wreck and cave diving by allowing you to explore the depths for longer.
Suunto's innovative tilt-compensated electronic 3D compass redefines underwater navigation. Regardless of the angle of your wrist, you'll have full confidence in the accuracy of your bearings. The Suunto D9tx integrates a digital compass, which can be used both while diving and on dry land, and can be accessed from either the DIVE mode or TIME mode. The Suunto D9tx displays the compass as a graphical representation of a compass rose. The rose displays the cardinal and half cardinal points, in addition to which, the current bearing is also displayed numerically.
The wireless air integration is provided by the included Transmitter that is easy to install in you first-stage regulator HP port. This small and compact transmitter 3.15" (80 mm) in length and 1'57" (40 mm) diameter will transmit cylinder pressure to the wrist computer eliminating the traditional HP hose associated with conventional analog pressure gauges, lowering the divers profile and streamlining your gear for more efficient diving adventures. The rated working pressure of the transmitter is 4,000 psi (300 bars) with a maximum allowed pressure of 5,000 psi (360 bars). The cylinder pressure function not only gives you your current cylinder pressure, it also informs the diver of their Air Time Remaining (ATR). The computer calculates your breathing rate by the drop in cylinder pressure along with your current depth giving an accurate calculation of available time in respects to your breathing rate. It also will alert you when you have reached your reserve air 500 psi (35 bars) by displaying zero (0) air time remaining. Tank pressure is displayed both numerically and graphically.
Suunto D9tx has three dive modes. The Air mode is used for diving with standard air, the Mixed Gas mode for up to eight different gas mixes, and the Gauge mode for use as a bottom timer. D9tx supports Trimix in Mixed Gas mode, and you can accelerate decompression by switching to a gas mix with a higher oxygen percentage. You can preset eight different gas mixes (with oxygen between 8% and 99% and helium between 0% and 92%) and set PO2 values for each individual gas. It's also quick and easy to switch between enabled gas mixes during your dive. In Gauge mode, Suunto D9tx works as a bottom timer and also provides accurate profile sampling and bookmarking functions. A dive timer with a reset function displays the dive time in minutes and seconds. This is extremely useful for timing accurate bottom times and decompression stops.
Using the Suunto technical RGBM algorithm, Suunto D9tx enables continuous decompression for optimal ascent time. The Deep Stops add further protection with a series of deep stops between your maximum depth and ceiling. ??The Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) is a modern algorithm for predicting both dissolved and free gas in the tissues and blood of divers. It was developed in co-operation between Suunto and Bruce R. Wienke BSc, MSc, PhD. It is based on both laboratory experiments and diving data, including data from DAN.
The D9tx Dive Computer is a compact watch style computer that measures 1.94" (49 mm) in diameter with a thickness of 0.68" (17 mm) and weighs a mere 2.96 oz (84 g) without bracelet, so you can wear it every day as a timepiece. Computer has an operational depth display from 0'- 394' (0 -120 meters) and in Gauge Mode will display as deep as 656' (200 meters). Computer is altitude adjustable to 10,000' (3,000 meters), has a 12/24 clock function, dual time, stopwatch, ascent rate monitor alarm, ascent time display, audible alarm, deep stop function, full decompression data, log book memory of approximately 80 hours, maximum depth alarm, personal adjustment features, safety stop function, and displays temperature.
Transmitter is powered by a 1/2 AA Lithium Cell. Computer has a durable rubber wrist strap, comes with a USB Cable, comprehensive Owner's Manual and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

The Micato offices are buzzing with holiday cheer. From New York to Cape Town, Nairobi to New Delhi, everyone is talking about the best gifts for their loved ones and each other, and the highest item on the list is always safari gear.
We don't mind admitting it: we're a bit obsessed with safari life. Khaki clothes, Bushnell binoculars, lightning-fast cameras and Africa-themed books are usually the things that we end up exchanging during the holiday season. Red Maasai shukas (cloth wraps) also go over well –the color is festive as could be.
Fortunately we have the Micato Safari Store, which stocks everything from multi-pocketed photographer's vests to head-lamps to Teva sandals. But there are other presents we love to give too, including handy convertible pants and cozy fleece vests, camera filters and lenses for the shutterbugs in the family, travel games, maps and even safari-handy apps for technophiles.
Our gifting lists have grown by leaps and bounds. We had just hunkered down to organize our lists and share them with you. Then we heard the news: BBC Travel had beaten us to the punch, crafting a superb gift list with a piece de resistance of a hot-air balloon safari with Micato.
As BBC says: Best. Gift. Ever. Well, it's hard to argue with that.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Obito with Gedo and beasts assuming it obeys him over Madara
BM Naruto and Hashirama can hurt him for sure i think Itachi,3rd Raikage and Minato could possibly hurt him as well as Mu with his dust release
I don't understand why Madara fanboys think he's unbeatable, he's going to be defeated anyway or are you telling me Madara is going to succeed in his plan and go against everything the manga has been about.
Also Bijuu = Perfect Susanoo
As of now I'm going to go with the shinobi that are alive, Naruto, Sasuke and Obito.
tenten with the mighty BANANA FAN!!!
Hashirama, Rikudou Sennin, Nagato, Naruto, etc, no reason to brag about someone as Madara...everyone has a weakness or flaw within them, and I'm sure he has plenty.
Sai can solo him with his ink birds.

no one lol.maybe sasuke and naruto when they power up or sth....but otherwise A-A
hashirama, Naruto, Danzo, Orochimaru if hands are restored. can all damage uchiha madara
EDO Onooki, EDO Hashi and EDO BM Naruto.
Naruto, not just damage him but also kill him.
And this is why Madara-fanboys are the low intelligent on NB...
Ten Ten Sakura and Ino.......
akatsuki- with itachi's totsku blade/mirror shield, deidara's ultimate c4, Sasori's black sand, nagato rinnegan, Kakuzu immortal, and kisame super shark bomb justu.
Madara can't counter deidara's c4 and would have to keep an eye on Itachi because of totsuka blade.
the full power of either the Akastki or the former Jinkuri's
obito+ naruto+ hashirama
edo nagato & obito is enough

No, Madara pwns those with PS
Genjutsu one shots.
No...Madara has long since surpassed him.
Dude you're retarded, even with senju dna, EMS, and Rinnegan, Hashirama would still win. But current Madara is in Edo form which makes him unable to die unless sealed and he has INF chakra so he would most likely win in Edo form. But without it he would still lose with his current abilities.
Naruto and some help
ramen guy D
-Obito plus his paths could damage Madara severely
-Kabuto plus 4 kage level Edo's
-Gold+Silver Brothers, Naruto and Bee
-Kakashi, Guy and Obito
-1st and 2nd Hokage
-Nagato and Itachi
I think they all explain for themselves

The three most common types of solar cookers are box cookers, curved concentrators (parabolics) and panel cookers. Hundreds — if not thousands — of variations on these basic types exist. Additionally, several large-scale solar cooking systems have been developed to meet the needs of institutions worldwide.
Box cookers
Box cookers cook food at moderate to high temperatures and often accommodate multiple pots. Worldwide, they are the most widespread. There are several hundred thousand in India alone. See Solar box cooker designs.
Parabolic cookers
Curved concentrator cookers, or "parabolics," cook fast at high temperatures, but require frequent adjustment and supervision for safe operation. Several hundred thousand exist, mainly in China. They are especially useful for large-scale institutional cooking. See Parabolic solar cooker designs.
Panel cookers
Panel cookers incorporate elements of box and curved concentrator cookers. They are simple and relatively inexpensive to buy or produce. Solar Cookers International's "CooKit" is the most widely used combination cooker. See Solar panel cooker designs.
Most solar cookers work on the basic principle: Sunlight is converted to heat energy, that is retained for cooking.
Fuel: Sunlight
Sunlight is the "fuel." A solar cooker needs an outdoor spot that is sunny for several hours and protected from strong wind, and where food will be safe. Solar cookers don't work at night or on cloudy days, though during the best months for cooking, many foods can be cooked under intermittent clouds or a light haze, as long as food is put out early and there is definitely more sun than not overall. Extra covers or simple foiled boosters can help under marginal skies.
Converting sunlight to heat energy
Dark surfaces get very hot in sunlight, whereas light surfaces don't. Food cooks best in dark, shallow, thin metal pots with dark, tight-fitting lids to hold in heat and moisture.
Retaining heat
A transparent heat trap around the dark pot lets in the sunlight, and keeps the heat that is produced from escaping. This is a clear, heat-resistant plastic bag or large inverted glass bowl (in panel cookers) or an insulated box with a glass or plastic window (in box cookers). Curved concentrator cookers typically don't require a heat trap.
Capturing extra sunlight energy
One or more shiny surfaces reflect extra sunlight onto the pot, increasing its heat potential. Mirrors, aluminum foil, mylar, mirror-finish metals, chrome sign vinyl, and other shiny materials have all been used successfully for solar cooking, depending on the type of cooker and the environment in which it will be used. See Reflective material.

A large percentage of back pain actually occurs when muscles are injured. Damaged ligaments and strained muscles can lead to a great deal of pain and discomfort. This article is a great resource to treat your back pains. When cared for properly, the back pain from an injury need not become a permanent condition.
It can be difficult to get a doctor's appointment the same day as your back injury, and most people will have a tough time sitting or laying down. A lot of people have discovered that lying flat on their back with knees bent is the position that is most comfortable if they have a ruptured disc. Your muscles and tendons will be able to relax more easily.
Does your back hurt on a regular basis? Don't do a lot of twisting as you go about your day. During normal cleaning, or lifting objects that are heavy, if you twist your back you can cause an injury or pain. When playing sports, it's important that you pay close attention to the way you move your spine, and that you stop if you feel back pain or tightness.
If you are at risk for back pain, it's doubly important to get those eight glasses of water in each day. A healthy diet can benefit you in a number of ways, including preventing back pain. A healthy diet full of essential nutrients can decrease back pain and lead to overall better health.
Most individuals understand how it is to experience back pains. The know about it from experience, or they might be experiencing it right now. The wisdom you need for your back pain was in the preceding paragraphs, and now the time for their application has come. Do what you can to manage your pain and to keep yourself healthy.

In the late afternoon sun, a group of women are busy plaiting each other's long hair. It has been a routine for these women here in Dar es Salaam's Bunju B village. Under the breeze of a mango tree, they chat away the afternoon as young mothers among them suckle their young ones.
It is a beautiful setting, in an otherwise busy city where some semblance of such enviable company is quickly fading. But beyond the stories, these women are also huddling together for their safety. A mysterious serial rapist has been terrorizing this village.
''Every time we have to lock ourselves in our houses for fear of being attacked by the rapist, whose identity we are yet to find out. He attacks mostly during the night,'' says Aziza Khamis, a 32-year old resident of Mabwepande in Bunju A.
It is difficult to overemphasize the scale of the risk the women in this sleepy village have been facing. According to the women in this area, the fear of the rapist - nicknamed 'Mahmud' - has been a nightmare for them.
At one time, he raped and injured a woman in the area, according to the residents. The victim, thought to be his first victim, was taken to Mwananyamala hospital where she was admitted and treated.
''She was bleeding. She had several cuts to her face and other parts of the body. Her body was bruised. She was left to die there as her attacker used a panga to attack her before raping her,'' says Aziza, one of the residents who rescued her.
''The rapist would attack at night, but now, has started attacking during the day. We have reported the case to the police,'' said another Mabwepande resident.
Mabwepande residents now don't know what peace is. They have always been on the lookout for him.
''We have to walk in groups and alert each other when the sun sets because this man (Mahmud) attacks any woman who walks alone be it at night or day. He even breaks into people's houses and sexually abuses those he finds alone,'' Fatuma Iddy, says.
Mwanajuma Athumani, another resident of Mabwepande narrated that, last year; a middle aged woman was raped and almost killed by the suspected rapist who still remains at large.
"That was the first time our village had witnessed such an act where someone stabs you with a knife and leaves you almost dead. The incident made us realize that the man is very cruel," Mwanajuma said.
In Mabwepande village, the women mostly make local brew and also work as food vendors to earn a living. They make them in their homes and sell in nearby pubs. And that journey to sell their produce is fraught with danger. They have been forced to walk in groups to minimise the possibility of attack
"Every day we have to wait for each other to sell the beer and come back together because we don't know what would happen to you the next minute you are walking back home alone,'' says Rehema Abbdalla a 54-year-old woman.
''Even though he is not known, we suspect that he is a new person in this area, because we have never experienced such a thing before. But we will get him so that we and our children can be safe," Rehema says.
Abdalla Kunja, the ward officer at Mabwepande has received reports about the rapist on the prowl.
''I have heard about it and it's very sad that he even targets old women and young children. We have now put up a group of people on the alert to catch him so he can stop causing fear and agony in our village, we know he has his own informers but we will catch him as his days are numbered," says Kunja.
Mabwepande residents spoke of peace that was prevailing in the village before the rapist started terrorizing them.
Aziza is so disheartened by this issue and said that rape is the most sinful thing one can do. "I don't understand why someone can even rape school children. It is very disgusting," she says.
Even school children are not spared by the rapist and now these pupils are aware of the danger and they now walk in groups when heading home or to school.
"Our parents told us to be careful since the story of the rapist was revealed here. Sisi tunaogopa sana, tumeambiwa tusizungumze na mtu ambaye hatumfahamu kwani anaweza kutubaka. (We have been advised by our parents that we should not talk to strangers because we may be raped)," said Zainabu Sallu, a 12-year-old pupil, who was in the company of her friend Halima Juma.
Cases of rape continue to be reported across the country with police records at Wazo Hill police station in Kinondoni district indicating that a total of 71 rape cases, were reported between January and December 2010. Out of these, 24 were sent to the courts while 47 were thrown out due to lack of evidence.
In 2011, 88 rape cases were reported, 32 were taken up by the courts while 56 were thrown out for lack of evidence. This year, between January and March, 27 rape cases have been reported with 10 being taken up by the courts.
Rape is a very serious and heinous crime that needs collective fighting in the society and at government level. Any one raped should not shy away from reporting the matter to the nearest police station and obtain a PF3 in order to process the case. One is also supposed to stay with the clothes on and not take a shower as this helps the police and doctors to obtain evidence when handling the case.
Corruption has also hindered rape cases from being prosecuted in courts and therefore it's the role of citizens to come together and fight corruption that denies them justice.
According to Dr Spitla Makeyi, an HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT)/Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) expert at the Mwananyamala hospital, the hospital receives an average of three rape cases in a day.
''Most of these cases are received at night and we are worried about the cases because they are on the increase. The bad thing is that young girls are raped by people whom they trust and know very well. Like now we have a case of a young 22 year old student who was raped and sodomised by someone she knows and on top of that he beat her. We also have others with similar stories,'' says the doctor.
Rape victims risk getting infected with HIV if they don't seek medical attention within 72 hours. Seeking medical advice enables them to get Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) which helps in preventing HIV infection.
''It is important for one to come in quickly for medical attention because it will save your life, we administer PEP that is meant to prevent the infection of HIV when you are still negative, and this helps a lot," says Dr Makeyi.
Mabwepande residents call upon government to help in the search for the mysterious rapist.

I rode the dunes in Oregon for three days and was thrilled with the amount of pulling power compared to the paddle tires these replaced. The striaght paddle and wide tire game me the traction I needed to get up "widow maker" with ease. Several people in our group were thinking of swapping to these after the trip was done.

I see that most of these CFW's are for 3.55. I was wondering why aren't they working on a non-jb method for 3.41 before tinkering with 3.55?
I understand Rebug is floating around. Now why arent there more TRUE PUP's out there similiar to that or even following there lead? They said lvl2 was not a thing they could tinker with because the measures put in place by Sony on 3.55's update.
So why is there not so much more concern for 3.41? Wouldn't we be able to almost achieve a non-jb solution a lot faster seeing as the dongle's pull the job off already and we have more information about 3.41 as is? Isn't there a way of doing so without the dongle's in the first place that would sound more reasonable (or faster) than consuming our time with CFW for 3.55?
I am not upgrading to 3.55 because of the flaws in it. I see absolutely no need to as it add's support for almost nothing I would want. Regardless of geohot's firmware (which I don't like as is) which I give credit for pulling it off, I still see no big USE in tinkering with 3.55 at all.

Creating Secondary Indexes
A secondary index is automatically used during searching when it improves the efficiency of the search.
Secondary indexes are maintained by the system and are invisible to the user.
Any column(s) may be specified as a secondary index.
Columns in the PRIMARY KEY, the columns of a FOREIGN KEY and columns defined as UNIQUE are automatically indexed, (in the order in which they are defined in the key), and therefore creation of an index on these columns will not improve performance.
Secondary index tables are purely for Mimer SQL's internal use - you create the index, and Mimer SQL handles the rest. Index names can be made up of a maximum of 128 characters.
If, for instance, you want to know which products were released on a specific date, Mimer SQL would have to search successively through the entire ITEMS table to find all items that matched the date you specified. If, however, you create a secondary index on release date, Mimer SQL would locate that date directly in the secondary index, which would save time.
Secondary indexes can improve the efficiency of data retrieval; but does introduce an overhead for write operations (UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE). In general, you should create indexes only for columns that are frequently searched.
Indexes cannot be created directly on columns in views. However, since searching in a view is actually implemented as searching in the base table, an index on the base table will also be used in view operations.
Examples of Secondary Index
Create a secondary index called ITM_RELEASE_DATE on the RELEASE_DATE column in the ITEMS table:CREATE INDEX itm_release_date ON items(release_date);
Primary key columns may also be included in a secondary index. If a table has the primary key 'A,B,C', the primary index would cover all three columns of the primary key.
The following combinations of the columns in the primary key are automatically indexed: 'A', 'A,B', and 'A,B,C'. In addition, you could create secondary indexes on columns B, C, BC, AC etc.
An index may also be defined as UNIQUE, which means that the index value may only occur once in the table. (For this purpose, NULL is treated as equal to NULL).
Create a UNIQUE secondary index called ITM_EAN_CODE on the EAN_CODE column in the ITEMS table:CREATE UNIQUE INDEX itm_ean_code ON ITEMS(ean_code);
Sorting Indexes
The sorting order for indexes may be defined as ascending or descending. However, this makes no difference to the efficiency of the index, since Mimer SQL searches indexes forwards or backwards depending on the circumstances.

I know you have probably thought about this, but I want to remind you of something very important. The choices you are making today will impact you in the future. Now you may have just thought, "no crap genius" or you may be a little slow like myself and gone, "man I needed to be reminded of that."Too many time you and I don't treat the future us very well at all. We don't exercise, eat right, and some of our habits are destroying our heart, lungs, or liver! And my biggest mistake is not saving money for the future us (family). It is simply easier to give the present me what he wants, and let the future me try to figure out a way to get out of the mess. Yeah, that real fair to the future me right?
We all do it, we put stuff off for the future us to handle. We say things like, "I'll save money one of these days" or "I'll get motivated to lose weight and excercise one of these days." And what happens when the future us has to handle the past junk? Well, there is going to be a very good chance the future us will put it off as well (for the future future us). And if we don't change something...if we don't break the cycle there comes a day when we are in too deep. And we realize there is a very good chance there isn't going to be a future us. I don't want this post to depress you, but I do want it to motivate you. You and I must start making decisions TODAY that will make life easier and healthier for the future us.

Mr. Witte's Music Technology Blog-
This class is for high school students at Winnebago Lutheran Academy who want to learn how to make music on computers. We use Audacity and Garageband as our main tools, and we have fun almost every single day figuring out how to make music using audio and MIDI, but we also learn how to record vocals and instruments and even play guitar and drums if we need to.

Leave comment on what I should name it.
As I was gagged and tied in a corner I could feel every eye staring at me. I had my eyes close with a gun to my head. But, how I ended up in such a situation, you may wonder. Well, it all started yesterday, I was on my daily commute when, all of a sudden, I saw a sight I could not believe. My favorite book store just got the new book, Dungeon of the Wardens. That's where I made my first mistake. I swerved in a U-turn on a non U-turn intersection. No cop saw me, but as I realized my mistake I got all depressed because I tarnished my perfect personal driving record. I lost control and crashed into a jewelry store. Turns out I just helped a bunch of gangsters rob the place. They took the loot, grabbed me, and drove away from the scene. I said what they did was not good moral character and lectured them until they slapped a piece of duct tape over my mouth. They took me to a warehouse that stored medical supplies. I was tossed to the floor, and was asked my name.
"Fr-Fr-Fr, Frank," I responded.
One guy came up to me. He reeked of body odor and was a big burley character. He removed his ski mask and stared at me. He asked one of the other guys what to do. One gut opened a box and tossed him a syringe; the man gave a sick sadistic smile.
When I rose from my drugged slumber I realized we were on a cargo plane.
The droning of the engines was deafening. The flight dragged on for an hour or so. We landed in an abandoned air field where they took me to a hanger. All of a sudden, I heard a helicopter. Suddenly, I feel a gun go to my head; I see the hanger doors open policemen shoot all the gangsters. When I get back to work I realize that my boss docked my pay for the week.

I'm hoping to find someone willing to create a regional map for my ongoing campaign world. I'm working on a website, and the map where the map would be a centerpiece. Once (if) it gets posted, I would cite your work however you wanted to. I also plan to post a PDF of the world on the site, and you would be attributed there as well. This is a vanity project, so I wouldn't expect much publicity from it though. PM me if you are interested in this. Thanks!
I have a small budget set aside for the map and a little art. I can pay fifty dollars for a well made map. I also have a trade list of some rpgs/comics, and if you are more interested in those goods, I can trade you more than fifty bucks worth of stuff (link).
Some information about what I'm hoping for:
* [Paid, I am happy to pay $50 for the map]
Time Constraints
* Negotiable. I really have no idea how long this takes. A month or two?
* In perusing this website, I am blown away by maps in this style:
Description of Map
* The map will basically cover an area the size of the eastern US with a few small islands off the coast. It will have a few cities scattered throughout. It's an underdeveloped area, so it should focus on natural features (forests, mountains, etc). It will be roughly 700 miles north to south and the same east to west. There will be some room for creative input from the cartographer.
Quality & Size
* You'll have to help me with size and vector and stuff. I envision being able to take it to a printer and making a poster out of it. I'd also like to put it on the hypothetical website. That may not be feasible. That's why I need your expertise.
Copyright -
* I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.

Names Like This
From approximately the early 1600s until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865, Africans were brought to America against their will to be sold as slaves. Many African Americans can trace their ancestry to this slave trade.
Slaves were generally stripped of their traditional names and given new ones either by their captors or new owners. Slaves were often given names from the bible or that reflected the work that they did. Names that were short, simple and percussive like Tom, Jack, from Classical literature such as Nero, Venus and Caesar or were surnames of American leaders such as Washington or Madison were also given.
Directly after the Civil War, many freed slaves cast away their slave names and adopted new freely chosen ones. Some took on the full forms of their shortened names, while others embellished their names with various prefixes and suffixes. For example suffixes such as -inda turned a name like Clara into Clarinda, and Flora into Florinda. Created names were more popular for girls while boys were still given more traditional names like James or George.
Today, created names are very popular for both genders. Popular names are combined with various prefixes and suffixes which are often stressed in the pronunciation of the name. Suffixes such as -on, -won, -quon, -el, -ell and -isha help to form names like Davon and Marquon from David and Mark and Monisha from Monica. Prefixes often include Chan-, Shan-, Ka-, La-, De-, Ja-, Tri-, Wa- and Sha- and help to form names like LaTasha and Shandra. Traditional African names as well as names from the Muslim faith are also popular.

You can set the text width using
:set textwidth=n (or
:set tw=n) where n is a positive integer, for example:
:set tw=79
Also make sure that you have the "t" formatoption set!
:set formatoptions+=t
That will automatically wrap text as close to 79 characters as white space allows without exceeding the 79 character limit. This option wraps at word boundaries.
The textwidth option can be unset using:
:set tw=0
If you want to apply this to specific areas; bring the cursor at the beginning of the text you want to format and type
gq. Now specify the range, say
$ to format a large line.
:set wm=2
sets a wrap margin of 2 characters from the right window border. A system-dependent EOL character is inserted and the line wraps as you type. This option may be useful in some situations, but probably is not what you are looking for.
on a line or paragraph that is too long, and vim will wrap it automatically at your assigned textwidth.
The above methods will do a "hard" wrap of your text, by inserting newline characters. An alternative method is a "soft" wrap which does not change the text but simply displays it on multiple lines. This can be achieved with:
:set wrap linebreak nolist
Note that this may lead to a bunch of screen lines being taken up by only a single "real" line, so commands like j and k which move on real lines will skip over a lot of screen lines. You can use gj and gk to move by screen lines.

Umberto Robina's Home is, as the name suggests, the home of Umberto Robina, leader of Los Cabrones. It is located in Little Havana, Vice City. Umberto owned the home in 1984, but it is unknown as to whether or not he lived or owned the home in 1986. A Cuban Hermes is always parked outside, and the home is the starting point for Umberto's missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
- Inside there is a poster of "Los Santos Fop", a parody of the 80's film Beverly Hills Cop, with Los Santos referring to one of the three cities in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- The house may still exist in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, however the house is not decorated and does not play a role in the storyline, the Umberto Robina's missions are all received in the Café Robina.

Go Green Success Stories
Now I am totaling geeking out. First, I have told most of my co-workers and friends about my 'gas chart' and now I'm e-mailing you about it. But your book 'Go Green, Live Rich' wanted to know my story.
OK, I will make this as short as I can.
I used to think that I was saving money by driving home to eat lunch instead of eating out. I only live 6 and half miles away, 13 miles round trip, so yes I am saving money going home. However, I can save even more. I have created a chart with a variety of variables, but for my purpose of going home for lunch the only variable I change is the daily price of gas. Today's price of gas in Austin, Texas is $3.39 and at that price it costs $2.45 a day or nearly $590 dollars for the year just to go home. Granted the number is an estimate, and does not take into consideration holidays and vacations. Regardless, this money I am spending on and do not even realize it. Six and half miles adds up?
So to take it a step further, I track my savings and at the end of the month I plan on writing a check to an account I never use but some how have open in name. Once this dollar amounts to a 'serious amount' I plan on investing it somewhere.
On top of that, my wife and I have given up on the 'daily plastic water bottles', so I plan on pumping up the check I mentioned above by $15 a month on savings from not buying all the Ozark bottles.
I have attached my 'Gas Chart' (excel file) in case you are interested. It can be used for more than daily trips.
Thank you,
Garrett L Hall Austin, Texas
Saving More Than $200 a Month While Going Green
Hi David,
I really enjoy reading your articles. Especially those like this article which help us "green up."
First, I think one of my best accomplishment of going green is spreading the word. I know many people who believe that one person extra won't make a difference. I am very proud to say I've changed the minds of at least 5 of my friends and they have started taking steps in becoming environmentally conscious. They've at a minimum changed all their light bulbs to the energy efficient types.
As for myself, I have also done the light bulb thing, reduced the amount of water I use by installing special nozzles and of course recycle. I recently moved out of my home to an apartment where I find it to be a little more challenging to do as much as I'd like, but I'm still working it. I carpool with a co-worker which is significant because although my car claims Ultra Low Emissions, it is still somewhat a gas guzzler. That has saved me at least $160-$200/month. I also wait until the weekend to do my errands because I pick my sister up and we knock everything out in a day which reduces driving around 5 times a day.
Before I moved, my family and I were really starting to get into these steps. Fortunately, my family is still going strong. My sister composts almost everything from coffee grinds (she even gets them from work) to left over food and vegetables, egg shells. You name it, she's composting it. This compost goes into her garden which is greatly helping her plants. Also, when we do water changes in our fish tanks (we both have fish), we use the old water for our house plants and around the garden. You should see how much better they bloom. Our azaleas are HUGE!!!
We have had a complete house energy audit done through PSE&G (thanks to my mother). The result of this was we got the new light bulbs, the entire house was insulated, new nozzles were put in place for faucets and showers, pipes and the water heater were insulated, and they replaced one of the thermostats. The house is quieter, warmer in the winter. We live in the Northeast and we haven't had to put the heat above 68 degrees all winter - even on the really cold days, and it is cooler in the summer with the a/c only on low.
Finally, I'm sure there's more that my family does that I simply can't think of right now…after reading your article on Yahoo, I have opted out of receiving junk mail, pre-authorized credit and insurance and catalogs.
Thank you very much for your tips and I look forward to reading more.

Reducing Costs And Helping Conserve Energy
I am helping my electric/fuel company preserve natural resources, by having joined a program called "Savers Switch", where from June to September I save 15% on my cooling costs and also help conserve energy. (The electric co. cycles the air conditioner off and on at 15- to 20-minute intervals during peak hours to help conserve energy).
I also have small things like a low-flow shower head. I have adjusted my water heater to 115° and I hang-dry my clothes outside rather than use the dryer. Small things add up!

Deployment of a Sophos package from the Sophos Enterprise Console or manually running the setup.exe causes the msi to fail with the following error:
1327, Invalid Drive <driveletter>
First seen in Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+
The installer tries to access the network location to confirm it has the necessary rights. This issue occurs when the access attempt is performed as the computers SYSTEM account rather than a user account and the SYSTEM account does not have the necessary rights to the network location.
This can be caused when the folder redirection has been performed on the HKLM registry hive instead of the HKCU hive. Microsoft's KBA on folder redirection can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242557.
Note that (as described in the above link) the modified hive should be HKCU. The HKLM hive should retain the default settings so that the SYSTEM account accesses it's local resources instead of attempting to access the network.
Before continuing read our warning on making changes to the registry.
You will need to make two changes:
By default the registry values under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
The registry values under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders all point to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ at the beginning of the path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
Usually you will find that only a few of the keys under these locations have been modified, so a quick check of which keys have been edited and which keys have not will show which format to use. If unsure, compare against another machine.
Group Policy or a start-up script can be used to deploy the change across a wider scale.
