Netwrix Auditor offers optional server-based agents for data compression and filtering in large and/or multi-site locations or agentless Exchange audit data collection. No matter how large or small the Exchange Server environment may be, Netwrix Auditor can handle it all. By employing server-based agents, data from event logs are filtered and compressed from all audited resources and sent across the network so as to maximize efficiency and minimize resource utilization.
These non-intrusive, lightweight server-based agents are safe and only run when collecting Exchange audit data across the networks. Smaller networks can implement the use of centralized data collection if server agents are unwanted. Only valuable audit and event log data is captured and not entire logs.
Compression is rated at 100-to-1 when using these optional agents as compared to raw audit data. Furthermore, not using agents does not alter the product capabilities whatsoever. This allows Netwrix Auditor to fit in a wide variety of environments that may or may not restrict the use of third-party agent software running locally and provide efficient Exchange audit.

Probably. That, says Bill Giles, former chief forecaster of the BBC Weather Centre, is how the next three months of British weather should look.
While the Met Office's first ever "seasonal forecast", issued this week, limits itself to the vaguest predictions about whether the summer in the whole of Britain will be wetter or drier, warmer or cooler than average, Mr Giles - who left the BBC in 2000 - is prepared to stick out his neck.
Last year, he set up the Weather Index (www.wpindex.com), a company he claims can forecast the temperature, windspeed, hours of sunshine and rainfall anywhere in Britain. This, he says, has had an accuracy rate of 80 per cent for medium range forecasting - up to 10 days - and 65 per cent even for forecasts up to three months ahead.
"That is twice as good as a guess - which is the yardstick against which one must measure it," he says.
Mr Giles uses records going back to the mid-17th century and national weather modelling from supercomputers around the world as well as the latest research on global warming.
Can he, though, beat the Met Office's "there is between a 60 and 80 per cent chance that summer will be warmer and wetter than average everywhere in Britain" prediction?
After 40 years as a forecaster, he is more aware than most of the maxim "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". No fool he. But in he rushed.
In Wales, East Anglia, and the South and South-West of England, the Whitsun bank holiday on 3 June will, he says, be warm with a risk of the odd shower, but getting better for the special Jubilee bank holiday on 4 June. Those in Scotland and the North will need to carry umbrellas and possibly jumpers.
Derby Day on 8 June will be blessed with sunshine throughout. Wimbledon, which starts on 24 June, is likely to be unsettled with heavy showers. "The weather will be coming in from the West, and although the heaviest rain will be in the North and Scotland, there will be some wet," says Mr Giles.
"They should be preparing for playing in the evenings and running over. It's a pity they couldn't postpone it until the second and third week of July, when it will be getting really warm."
The British Grand Prix on 7 July should be a scorcher. However, for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester from 25 July to 4 August, the picture is trickier, he says. "The models are giving conflicting advice. I think it will be pretty unsettled with rain and coldish temperatures, then becoming drier and warmer towards the end."
England's second test match against India at Trent Bridge, starting on 8 August, is also hard to call, he says, because if the wind is just slightly off his prediction of westerly, it could start off surprisingly well. However, he says: "It is not looking good at all. Cold and wet, although perhaps getting a bit better. Still not pleasant, though.
"Much better to go for Headingly (22-26 August) on the last couple of days," he says. "And I'd think better still if India bat first. The ball will be moving about a lot to start with."
Probably. "Weather forecasting is a matter of constant refinement," he says. "When we get to 10 days ahead, there may have been big changes. But if you've got to make a decision now, this is the best information available."

Hi all
I have been running for about 2 year now, have been happy sticking to 5k at a time of around 25 minutes, have been doing this about 3 times a week along with cycling and other training at the gym. Have been happy doing this up until now but have decided I want to try and increase distance.
Any tips and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks !
Whack on a bit each week and do one long run (slow! much slower than you would normally) - don't add too much, people say no more than 10% a week but everyone is different as to what their body can take. I'd imagine adding a Km a week on if done slowly for the next 3/4 weeks then back off a bit for an easy week and then continue would work fine. One long slow run a week, and one faster short one with another just get miles in your legs should help your running fitness.
Plenty on here with more experience than me but this is what I've picked over the last year or two
My 5K time dropped rapidly from 25 min (to closer to 20 min) from getting my weekly long runs up to 10, 15, 20 Km (all done very slowly, more like 2 minutes a mile slower than my 5K race pace) and a session of faster stuff in there once a week (tempo, threshold, intervals for example).
Check out McMillanrunning.com to get an idea of your training paces and to get an idea of what you should be capable of at other distances if properly trained.
I reckon the best way for you to improve both your distance and running fitness is to start a 10/12 week training plan for fun - maybe a 10K, or even a Half Marathon one (that's how I started to increase my distance) - plenty on this site in the training section. The ybring you up slowly but mixing it up enough to get a decent training effect - doing 3x5K a week at the same pace, week on week, means you will stop improving after a while.
Thank you! Think I will have a look for a good 10k training programme, sounds like an achievable distance if I take my time. I done a 6k today, 33mins so not too bad, won't increase this now for another week
Going to give slower running and longer distances a go as well

Likely the man would have lied to me if he was willing to lie to his wife, I may end up feeling hurt, and it was not fair to the man's wife. Rob also made a good point that someone who does that lacks courage.
I think I felt resentment because I don't want to feel like I am being controlled as to who I can and cannot date. I don't become infatuated or get attached to someone very easily, but when I do it is hard and fast, and I want to take action on it as soon as possible. Its raw, primitive, and I don't want to be stopped.
I will toss another possibility out there, Rita. Perhaps the infatuation you felt was more about being attracted to the situation of a man cheating than it was to the man himself. There could be some fear surrounding the idea of another man being more available to you -- which is what is possible in an open, honest relationship. Cheating on someone necessitates careful planning, making excuses, covering one's ass, lying, scheming, as well as limiting the time one can give to a mistress. All that energy spent plotting rendez-vous and liaisons kind of consumes the cheater and their mistress, and so that could be interpreted by you on some level as more "safe" in an emotional way -- with a little more work to do on the structure and logistics of a relationship with a cheater might signify in your mind that it will be easier to deal with than someone who can more fully immerse themselves in romance and the potential for LOVE developing between you.
Of course, this may not necessarily be the truth, but our minds do naturally and primarily build up defenses. A poly person can have the same logistical and time restraints as a cheater, but everything's out in the open. Perhaps the openness and honesty scares you because if you let in a more full possibility of love for yourself with another man, then you see the possibility also of another woman loving your husband. And you might not really want to look at that. So finding a guy who cheats seems easier to handle.
Any of that ring true for you?
The world opens up... when you do.

They Wait For An Epiphany To Wash In
Nostalgia-induced work with ties to a landscape.
The words are a flow beyond the build of the sea-borne,
not mine, but owned, before they could reach out and take hold.
Scuffing the soles of our shoes on the sidewalks, we're still young
and there's always time to dance in the undertow,
so long as it'll have us.
Out past the shoreline and the depths of the shallows
- where the boats were tied
just down by the dock, both hands deep in pockets
to keep them from r e a c h i n g,
we would move our feet to the sound
of the swallows in the trees so very far above us.
We would whistle, (just like the restless do)
as if it were the birds that we were teaching,
there in the daylight, we would linger,
sway back and forth while the water spoke in tongues.
Hypothesized one day that out past the shoreline
were stored all the answers to the questions
that no ever really asks, and you said matter-of-fact,
"they'll want them, - one day they'll be back."
Then you laughed, like you could see the lone figures
combing the beaches at high tide, eyes held wide
for some trace of their own lost libation,
drunk off of the first and second subjugation
of all the things that they had loved.

Tahunanui Slump
Housing Development on a Large, Active Landslide: The Tahunanui Slump Story, Nelson, New Zealand
Paul C Denton
Mike R Johnston
Soils & Foundations Ltd, Nelson
Above: Ground cracking on the Tahunanui Slump, Nelson, July 1929 (Jones Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, NZ. Ref No. 28916 1/2
Nelson has a wide range of slope instability which largely reflects the varied geology of this city. One area of significant instability involves about 26 ha of hillside overlooking popular Tahunanui Beach.
This area, the active Tahunanui Slump, is part of a complex rotational landslide. The active slump, some 700 metres wide, extends from sea level to the crest of the Port Hills and contains about 120 houses.
Significant, extensive movements and related damage are documented within the Tahunanui Slump in the 1890s, 1929 and 1962 and involve roads and houses. Ongoing resurveys of the area confirm that less damaging movements are continuing, albeit at different rates in different areas.
Residential development, which commenced in the 1920s, has been restricted since 1985 by the Nelson City Council who assumed responsibility for the Tahunanui area in 1950. The Building Act of 1991, and more specifically Section 36(2) has changed the basis by which land development can by regulated. The Resource Management Act 1991 specifies legal requirements to identify, inform and protect the public from landsliding hazards. The Tahunanui Slump poses a hazard to development including the possibility that developments on parts of it could be a danger to life. We present the results of our investigations to date.

Housing Development on the Tahunanui Slump, Nelson – An Update
Paul C Denton
Geo-Logic Ltd, Nelson
Abstract for a paper presented at the LaNZslides ConferenceAuckland, New Zealand, 3 – 5 May 2002
A short history of development, damage and the geotechnical setting of the Tahunanui Slump was presented at an earlier geotechnical conference (Denton & Johnston, 1996)(1).
This large (26 ha) active rotational slump is located in an exclusive residential hillside area of Nelson City which, in the six years since that paper was published, has seen major redevelopment simultaneous with continuing damage. As a result of damaging movements in the 1890's, 1929, 1962 and confirmed continuing ground movements specific engineering controls had been imposed on further development by the Nelson City Council (NCC) with a prohibition of further subdivision since 1985. The Building Act 1991, and more specifically Section 36(2) changed the basis by which land development could be regulated. At the time of paper presentation (1996) no significant development had taken place since 1970.
Following an in-depth geotechnical investigation(2) for the proposed redevelopment of one property on which the original house was severely damaged by ground movement in 1962 and ultimately removed, a building consent was subsequently issued under Section 36(2) and a new house built. Since then building consents for major site redevelopment of 6 properties, including two new houses, have been issued and work completed with an estimated value of around $5 million. Building consent records show that applications for two projects with a significantly lesser value were lodged but ultimately withdrawn over stated concern about the impact of Section 36(2) title attachment requirements. Damage has continued, including the "writing off" by the Earthquake Commission (EQC) of one house for major settlement damage (in 1998), as well as other damage recorded around the perimeter of the main body of the Slump.
This paper examines, some 6 years and $5 million of property development later:
• Changes in the public perception, acknowledgement and response to the risk highlighted by Section 36(2) [replaced by Section 72 (2004)]
• The nature and distribution of on-going damage
• EQC claims and associated issues of information restriction
• The variable standards applied, until recently, by the NCC for geotechnical investigation the Slump

The city has received a Salute to Government Award for its effective use of technology.
The Public Policy Institute, which looks for innovative initiatives in government, took note of Wauwatosa's culmination of a new technology network that allows wireless connectivity between municipal buildings and high-speed data replication.
The project was spurred by an $80,000 Homeland Security grant to install a new video surveillance system, which prompted city staff to use the opportunity to upgrade the rest of its information technology infrastructure, according to an announcement of the award winners.
Milwaukee County was also recognized for improvements in collecting delinquent taxes and going paperless to reduce expenses in the Treasurer's Office. Sue Black, director of Milwaukee County Parks, will receive the Norman N. Gill Award, to celebrate her 30 years of leadership in the park and recreation industry.

Stag Night
Disclaimer: Niels & Gang belongs to Humon, not me.
A/N: written for masterofmidgets as part of the 2011 Yuletide.
There is a man in a church.
It's a nice church – small, with a stained-glass Jesus and flowers on the altar. It's actually quite cosy, as far as churches go.
The man is standing by the altar. He's tall, scarred, no longer a young man, though you can't call him old, not yet. His fists are clenched.
Earlier, there were more people in the church. A man of the cloth glancing impatiently at his watch, friends, family, colleagues filling the pews. But that was earlier. Now there's just the man.
A door slams and he opens his eyes, stops arguing with God and turns to see a young woman striding up the aisle.
"Dad, you've got to stop this."
"Not now, Britney."
"Yes, now. Dad, the guy fucking left you at the altar. He's not worth it."
"Not now, Britney."
"He's just scum, Dad. Come on, let's go find Mom and…"
"I said: NOT NOW, Britney!"
He closes his eyes again, doesn't open them again until he's heard the door close behind his daughter. Then he sighs, slumps, turns to look at the pews.
Earlier, they had been full – his ex-wife with that new friend of hers, one of the former Bonds getting into an argument with the German Major from NATO, his sister-in-law-to-be looking more and more lost and uncomfortable with every passing minute. Everybody in his life had been present - save one.
No, that's not quite right, is it?
There is a man in a church.
It sounds like he's growling.
Somewhere else and somewhat earlier, there's a man tied to a chair.
"Honestly, Mr. Gyldensted, this is just childish."
"You've never minded before."
"You've never abducted me on my wedding day before."
"Oh, I see how it is. You find a new guy and suddenly your old friends aren't good enough anymore."
"We're not friends, Mr. Gyldensted. Besides, didn't we establish that you had no business interfering in my relationship with Agent 250?"
"You wound me, 300 – and besides, I'm not interfering."
"What exactly do you call abducting me on my way to my wedding, then?"
"Performing the service I was hired to do."
"Hired? You?"
"Yes, me."
"Someone hired you to abduct me on my wedding day?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
"An interested third party."
But Niels just leans back and smirks.
And time passes.
"You're just going to sit there?"
"Well, usually I'd swap with Duncan right about now, but he's absolutely refusing. Can't think why." The Dane cocks his head, consideringly. "Though I don't suppose you've really got anywhere left to stash a knife, so I guess it won't do any harm if I went and got us some coffee."
Which he does.
In a bedroom with faded wallpaper, there is man tied to a chair. He's beginning to regret having gone with real Scotsman rather than real gentleman. It's beginning to feel a bit – drafty.
There's a man walking up his drive-way, his young daughter holding his hand.
Thomas had expected being home hours ago. But then there was the wedding that didn't happen and then there had been Agent 250 storming into the police station, demanding his help in tracking down Niels, and then there had been hours spent establishing that not only does nobody know Niels Gyldensted's current whereabouts, but his house is empty. Duncan, Natalie – even Elliot seems to have vanished right along with him.
Eventually, he had put his foot down and gone home. It was already well past Wendy's bedtime. She had kindergarten tomorrow, dammit.
All of which brings us to now and the front door opening just as Thomas reaches out to open it.
Niels just smiles, gesturing for Thomas to come in. He doesn't look particularly intimidating, but then, people with milk moustaches rarely do. When Thomas hesitates, Niels frowns.
"Don't make me hold a gun to your head in front of your daughter, Thomas."
So Thomas sighs and walks in and the door falls shut behind him. There are sounds and interesting smells coming from the kitchen and Wendy is already heading in that direction, while Thomas lifts an enquiring eyebrow in Niels' direction.
"I brought Kiddo along. I thought he and Wendy could have a sleepover."
Thomas just sighs and goes through the routine – gun and badge goes in the locked safe, up the stairs, into the bedroom. He pauses at the door at the sight of the man tied to a chair.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me."
Niels just looks innocent, gestures with the gun that came out as soon as Wendy was out of sight for Thomas to sit on one of the empty chairs.
"Wendy's staying downstairs tonight."
"Of course she is – Duncan's made a den for her and Kiddo under the table," and Niels pats the detective on the head before leaving the room.
There are two men tied to chairs, sitting in a bedroom with faded wallpaper. The dressed one glares at the other one.
"What did I do?"
There is a man leaving the police station.
He walks to his car, gets in. Takes out his gun, checks it.
Nobody's heard from Detective Yellowfield since last night. His daughter isn't at her kindergarten.
Agent 250 finally has a place to go.
He parks the car some distance away from the house, sneaks through back yards, climbs in a window and points his gun at - two small children looking up at him.
"Drop the gun."
He turns around to find himself face to face with a shot-gun held by an angry-looking man.
"Hello, Duncan."
"I said drop the fucking gun."
So he does – and then hurriedly picks it back up when the small boy reaches for it and hands it to the woman who has just walked in before anybody has a chance to get too excited about it.
A little while later, in a bedroom with faded wallpaper, there are three men tied to chairs.
There are voices approaching the bedroom, indistinct through the closed door.
"…weren't supposed to…"
"…really should have expected…"
Then the door opens and a woman walks in, followed by Niels.
"I swear, Gyldensted, if you lay one finger on my daughter..."
But Niels just leans against the doorframe, gesturing towards 300.
"See. I've done my part."
"No, you haven't!"
"Sure I have. Keep 'George' away from the church and look – he's nowhere near it."
"But you weren't supposed to kidnap my Dad!"
"Oh, I didn't. He came along all by himself. What did you expect him to do? Sit at home and cry?"
"Now listen here, young lady," and 250 has a pretty impressive 'disapproving father' voice. "I know that you and 'George' aren't the best of friends, but you need to understand that who I choose to marry is my choice. Not yours."
"But, Dad..:"
"No, Britney."
As it turns out, Britney has perfected the daughterly arts of storming off in a huff, slamming the door behind her. A picture falls from the wall and glass shatters.
"So, what happens now?"
"Well," and Niels grins, "I suppose we could have a wedding."
"I thought Britney hired you to prevent the wedding."
"Nah, like I said, she hired me to keep Agent 300 away from the church – which I did. Nobody said anything about a wedding."
"Doesn't matter – it's not like we have a priest."
"Well, as to that – did I ever tell you about that time Peter had me officially ordained in his church?"
"Oh no! No! We are not going to get married like this and we are not getting married by you!"
"Are you absolutely sure about that?" and Niels smirks.
In the end, in the bedroom with faded wallpaper, there's a shotgun wedding. Well, a gun wedding, anyway.
In a bedroom there are two newly-weds, tied to chairs.
Niels has left, taking Thomas with him and oh-so-considerately closing the door behind them with a wink.
The older newly-wed takes out a knife from – well, from somewhere – and cuts himself and his husband loose. For a moment, he considers going after Niels, but "He's probably long gone by now, isn't he?"
Really, he's getting too old for this sort of thing. He sighs, looks at his husband – his very naked husband standing next to a very nice bed – and suddenly don't feel old at all.
"Well, I suppose it is out wedding night."
Downstairs in the kitchen, Thomas looks up from his well-deserved cup of coffee at the rhythmic noises coming from above.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!"
After a moment's consideration, he grabs the squirt bottle that's kept around for when Mimi starts climbing the curtains and heads upstairs.
Three days later, there are two men in a church.
Britney is sitting between her mother and Detective Yellowfield, looking absolutely furious. Niels and his family is sitting in one of the middle pews, invited in the possibly vain hope that if they can keep an eye on them, they can get through this wedding – reneval of vows, whatever you will call it – without any further interruptions.
"You may kiss the groom."
Of course, that's when the alien fleet chooses to invade...

Chapter Fourteen
Siobhan was kicked awake in the morning by Luke.
'Come on, Freckles, get up,' she was saying.
Siobhan felt herself being kicked closer to the water. 'Waaaaaaah! Alright, alright, I'm getting up.'
She got to her feet. Luke ruffled her hair and spat. It landed an inch from Siobhan's shoe, and she grimaced in disgust.
'Where's the guy with the feathers? And where the clag is my boat?'
Siobhan was about to answer, when she saw the boat being paddled frantically towards them. Luke stomped over to the water's edge and waited impatiently, legs apart, arms crossed.
Warloc landed the boat on the island, already trying to tether it back up. Luke kicked his hands and crouched down to his level.
'What the clag do you think you were doing? Stealing my boat?'
'The apparitions were bothering me,' Warloc said wearily. He looked up and they saw dark rings under his eyes. 'They bothered me all night, I haven't slept. The Emperor must know we're coming and he's punishing me for it.'
'Clagger,' Luke responded. 'Don't tie the boat up, we're getting back in.'
Siobhan nodded and gathered everything up. Luke got her by the collar and threw her in the boat, next to Warloc. He slumped down and went to sleep. Luke jumped in the boat, making everything inside rattle about and water slosh out from all sides. She grabbed both paddles and threw the other one to Siobhan.
Siobhan watched as she quickly warmed up, rotating her shoulder and flexing her arms in and out. Then without warning, Luke stuck her paddle in the water and shoved them away from the island.
Siobhan crawled to the front, and she and Luke paddled. Siobhan guessed it might be easier this time, but it was about the same. Her muscles were aching a bit from yesterday, which didn't help. As they rowed, she tried to take in the loveliness of the morning. It was foggy and cold, but the trees stood out a clear turquoise in the distance, and the lake had become a pool of silver.
'Your friend's a bit lazy,' Luke said contemptuously.
'He is not,' Siobhan protested as angrily as she was able. A glob of water splashed over the side.
'Well he's asleep now isn't he?'
'You're not very nice.'
Luke looked as her viciously and stopped paddling. 'I'm nice.'
'No you're not. You swear all the time and kick people.'
Siobhan also stopped paddling. 'It means using a bad word. I mean, it's not even as if using the same, er, bad word all the time is very scary or anything.'
'Oh yes, Freckle-face, and how many clagging bad words do you know?'
'About twenty.'
Luke smirked. 'How do you know twenty bad words?'
'You may not have noticed,'' Siobhan said, 'but I'm not from Augura.'
'I noticed, Freckles, you've only got to listen to that voice -'
'Yes, yes, yes. I'm from England, OK? I'm what Warloc keeps calling a strange person.'
Luke's eyes widened slightly. 'Oh yeah?'
'Yeah. Where I come from, Luke is a boy's name, and we wear vile green jumpers and we have LOTS of swearwords.'
'Like what?'
As they paddled across the rest of the river, Siobhan reeled off some of her world's most popular curses, and Luke started chanting them. This was amusing at first, but quickly lost its appeal, and she was glad when they reached the other side.
'Right,' Luke said, kicking Siobhan in the side. 'Thanks a lot, get off now.'
Siobhan stood up and looked over at Warloc, still snoozing.
'Warloc,' she said, nudging his shoulder. 'Time to go.'
He woke up, nodded his head up and down a few times and also stood up. Before he left the boat, he cupped his hands in front of his mouth and made an odd noise. It was long and loud, and sounded like a humming whistle.
'Come on, get out of it,' Luke said, helping him onto the grass. 'That's as far as I'm supposed to take you. But...' she sighed dramatically. 'I suppose I could show you the way to the Rider District. They might help you get up the mountain.'
Warloc yawned. 'If it weren't for you, we could be halfway up already.'
Luke shrugged, tethering the boat to a pole. 'I'm taking you to the Rider District, you coming or what?'
Siobhan looked at Warloc, who still looked like he could use a few hours more sleep. But he nodded and let Luke lead the way over the grass. Siobhan walked alongside him.
'Are you OK?' she asked.
'Fine,' Warloc answered. 'Not entirely sure what's going on, but I'm fine.'
'Where did Hurley go?'
'We left him behind. But I called him and he'll find us soon.'
Siobhan looked around. Here, unlike the Enchanted Woodland, the landscape was bare. There were just miles of yellow grass as far as she could see. A few glaucous blue trees were dotted here and there, and small green vines wound their way through the grass. She tried not to tread on any.
'Come on,' Luke called impatiently, standing on a rocky hill some way in front of them. Siobhan left Warloc behind, dashing towards the rocks.
It was looking over the Rider District. It looked nothing like Siobhan had imagined. She'd expected to see more stone buildings and trees. Instead, she saw wooden huts suspended high above the ground on long metal legs. Ladders led up to the homes of the riders. The ground here was bare, and what little grass Siobhan saw was brown and needle-like. The riders themselves were walking around, going about their business. Some wore woollen clothing. Others were dressed head to toe in a sort of leathery armour and carrying odd looking weapons.
In the centre of this district were a number of strange enclosures. They were made of wood – several trees had been planted in a circle, stripped of their leaves and tied together at the top, forming a dome shape. Inside were the dragons. Impressively long beasts of every colour, growling and circling. Occasionally, she saw a dragon throw its body against the side of the enclosure, but the wood didn't bend or break. Siobhan guessed the enclosures were magically reinforced.
Some of the enclosures had fully-armoured riders inside. They were working with the dragons, training them and taming them. Siobhan saw a burst of flame on her peripheral vision, but was too late to see what had happened.
She stood beside Luke, gazing at it all, until Warloc joined them. Then the three of them walked down the hill.
'What happens now?' Warloc asked wearily.
'What happens now,' Luke answered, 'is I grab a dragon from one of these enclosures, and then you fly it up the mountain and see the Emperor. Why do you want to see him anyway?'
'We're going to kick his butt, basically,' Siobhan answered.
Luke ducked behind a metal leg of some rider's house. A female rider walked past. Luke waited until she'd gone, then dashed over to the nearest enclosure. She motioned to Warloc and Siobhan, and they dashed over too. Siobhan wondered what was going to happen next.
Luke pressed her face up against the wooden exterior, looking through the gaps at the dragons within.
'We'll go for the red one,' she told them. 'I'm gonna find the door, stay close.'
Siobhan blinked at her. 'Are we stealing a dragon?'
'Yeah. Done it before. Not a problem, this.'
Warloc looked dubious, but nodded. They followed close behind Luke, who had one hand on the wall of the dome, feeling for the entrance. In a moment, she found it, pressed against it, and it sprang open. She slipped inside.
Immediately, the three dragons lifted their heads. Luke scowled, and moved towards the red dragon.
This beast was about seven feet long from snout to tail. It had long gleaming claws and a horned tail that was now swishing from side to side. It twitched its wings as Luke strode towards it. She reached into a pocket, taking out a blade.
She waved the dagger in the air so the dragon could see it. As soon as the beast clapped its yellow eyes on Luke's weapon, it snarled and stomped towards her.
'Is that supposed to happen?' Siobhan whispered.
'I'm not sure...' Warloc murmured back.
Luke swiped the weapon towards the dragon's ear, but it didn't move back. It bellowed and she threw the weapon up in shock. The dragon put a foot down, trapping it. Luke swore and smacked the dragon on the nose.
This was a mistake. The dragon blew thick yellow smoke from its nostrils and reared up on two legs. It swiped out with its claws. One caught Luke in the ribs and she yelled in pain. She dropped to the floor and rolled to avoid the beast as it landed again. It stamped on her foot. She yelled again.
'I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen,' Siobhan said worriedly.
Warloc had seen enough. He opened the door and stepped inside, holding up his staff – but someone pushed past Siobhan and grabbed Warloc. The stranger shoved them both out of the way and entered the enclosure.
Luke had got her blade back and was trying to keep the red dragon at a distance. But now it was swinging that horned tail towards her, and the two other dragons were coming for her as well.
The stranger darted in her direction, both hands out in front of him. His left hand found the dragon's belly, and he felt his way along its scaly body.
'STOP!' he called.
Luke rolled out of the way as the dragon turned its head to the stranger. Whoever he was, he was wearing ordinary clothing instead of armour. He had brown hair and was tall and muscular. He stood in front of the dragon, placing both hands on its long nose.
Incredibly, the dragon was standing still now, and let the man stroke its nose. It breathed smoky tendrils into his face, which couldn't have been very enjoyable, but he stayed where he was, gradually calming the dragon down.
The other two dragons lost interest and went back to walking around the other side of the enclosure.
Luke, now standing, did not seem grateful that this man had saved her from further harm. 'Who the clag are you?' she scowled.
The stranger turned to her. Siobhan saw him more clearly. He had a long, deep scar across his face. His eyes were a dull blue, and didn't seem to be focusing on anything.
'My name is Crusall,' he told her sternly. 'I don't recognise you. Why were you in the enclosure?'
'We needed a dragon,' Luke replied. She drew herself up to her full height, and then suddenly bent over in pain.
'You've been hurt,' Crusall said. 'Is it bleeding?'
'It is,' Siobhan said from outside.
Luke scowled at her as she retrieved her dagger. Crusall stretched out a hand for Luke to take. She looked at him darkly and grabbed him by the arm. 'I'll lead you out,' she snarled reluctantly.
'No, no,' he said. 'I was going to lead you out. You'll be finding it difficult to walk.'
'Not a chance. Ow!'
Warloc spoke up. 'We're sorry for the trouble.'
'There's no trouble,' Crusall said, walking towards him. He gently led Luke out of the enclosure and they stopped in front of Warloc. 'Who are you?'
'I'm Warloc, and I'm a mage,' Warloc said. 'This is Siobhan, a friend of mine. We need to see the Emperor as soon as possible, and Luke here promised us a dragon.'
'I never promised anything,' Luke grumbled.
Crusall turned his head to her. 'So it's you who's been stealing our dragons.'
'I only borrowed them.'
'You can follow me,' Crusall said to Siobhan and Warloc. 'She needs help. Is there any way you can heal her?'
'I'm a mage,' Warloc said apologetically. 'My magic is limited, I'm afraid.'
'I don't need help,' Luke said. 'Look, my foot's fine, and I'm hardly bleeding at all, look.'
'Yes you are,' Siobhan said. 'Don't kick me; it'll only hurt you worse.'
Luke spat in her face and managed a laugh. Siobhan squawked and tried to wipe it away. Crusall just shrugged and stuck out a hand, finding the enclosure wall. He followed it, taking Luke with him. Warloc trailed behind, and Siobhan dragged herself after them.
Crusall took Luke to a relatively short rider residence. Luke got to the top in a harness made of rope, and the others climbed a ladder.
Inside the wooden hut at the top, there was a single room containing a bed, a chair and a thick carpet. Crusall carried Luke to the chair and set her down. She tried to kick him, but he moved away too quickly. He sat down on the bed, and Warloc and Siobhan sat cross-legged on the carpet.
'Hey, you,' Luke called to Crusall. 'What happened to your eyes?'
Siobhan looked at her disapprovingly, but Crusall didn't seem to mind.
'I was attacked by an angry dragon when I was young,' he said. 'But I have not let it stop me training them now. And I've learnt to find my way around the district.'
'How interesting,' Luke said sarcastically, pressing Siobhan's green PE jumper to the wound.
Siobhan asked Crusall the vital question herself. 'Crusall, do you think you could help us, please? We need to get up the mountain, and walking won't get us there fast enough.'
'You're going to see the Emperor,' he nodded. 'Why are you going?'
'Warloc here is cursed,' Siobhan informed him. 'We're going to go to Quelch and demand that he fix him.'
'He's got an apparition thing,' Luke said.
Warloc looked up. 'Tell everyone, why don't you.'
There was a pause.
'So, Luke,' Crusall said. 'Do you get into a lot of trouble?'
'What do you care, you blind clagger?' she spat back.
If this upset Crusall, he didn't show it. 'I'm just interested. Don't worry, I won't punish you for trying to steal a dragon this time. You've been punished enough.'
Warloc started snoring. Siobhan carefully opened his herb bag and took out a jar of red stuff. She scooped out a handful and started to eat.
'I can help you,' Crusall said to her. 'But you should probably rest for the night first. You can stay here.'
'Thank you,' Siobhan said gratefully.
'Hey,' Luke said. 'You. You're blind, you shouldn't be working with dragons.'
'Thank you for the advice,' Crusall answered, 'but I'm perfectly capable. If anyone shouldn't be handling dragons, it's you.'
Luke sat back and grumbled. Siobhan carried on eating the stuff from the jar. It was very sticky and she had to be careful not to get it everywhere.
She looked at Crusall, who was resting back on the bed, and seemed to be looking at the spot near Luke's shoulder. Luke was doing her best to ignore both of them. She was looking at a mirror on the wall.
Siobhan put down her jar, quietly got up and went to examine it. She stepped in front and a huge eye stared out at her. She ducked out of the way, startled.
'That's a magically enhanced mirror,' Crusall said, not looking at her. 'So I can see myself a bit.'
'Right,' Siobhan said, looking in it again. 'So it's been magnified.'
'How, er, how much can you see?'
'Not a lot.' Crusall scratched his head. 'Let's talk about something else. Tell me more about yourselves.'
'Erm, OK. Like what?'
'Are you from Augura?'
'How did you get here? Warloc's a Mage. I don't know much about Mages, but if he can't heal Luke, he certainly can't open a gateway.'
'He can't, no.' Siobhan shuffled. For some reason talking to Crusall made her uncomfortable. She looked around the room, but there wasn't much to see.
'Does he have a familiar?'
'Claggy things,' Luke contributed.
'Yes. Hurley.'
'That might be him outside. I thought I heard something tapping on the door.'
Siobhan glanced over at the wooden door. There was indeed a rhythmic tapping noise coming from outside.
'Oh,' she said. 'Can I let him in?'
'Of course, if he's not carrying anything dead.'
'He… might be…'
She hunkered down and peered through a gap in the wood. Hurley was clicking his beak at her and not smelling like a bed of roses, but luckily he wasn't carrying anything. She opened the door and let him in.
Hurley didn't bother with flying. He walked over on his two legs to where Warloc was still snoring and pecked his shoes for two minutes. Everyone watched, fixated on this little bird, all conversation for the moment irrelevant. Hurley then hopped over to the bed and jumped up and perched on Crusall's shoe. Then he flew over to the chair where Luke sat. Luke had no shoes, and swatted the familiar angrily away when he began pecking her toes.
'Come here, Hurley,' Siobhan cooed, clicking her fingers and whistling a bit.
Hurley came over to perch on her shoulder. She felt quite pleased, until he started clawing and trying to eat her hair. She batted the bird off, and he finally came to rest on the floor, waddled over to Siobhan's jar of mysterious red stuff, and gobbled up the leftovers.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
Come and stay at the Hill House - a stone's throw away from the National Park Boundary. Enjoy wildlife on your doorstep and carefully tended native perennial flowers while staying in a cozy, homey environment.
The house faces south with a sweeping view of Longs Peak and neighboring mountains. Our large wrap-around porch is the best access to the yard of flowers and reflecting pond. It is perfect for reading, dining, being entertained by our visiting hummingbirds, or watching the elk and mule deer pass by. You can even grill or eat outside during our afternoon thunderstorms.
The National Park is just out the back door. The entrance station can be reached without having to negotiate downtown traffic and you can even hike in on foot. If you do want to go downtown and don't want to hassle with parking (a momentous task in the summer months), you can take the town's free shuttle. There is a stop just at the end of the road.
The house boasts three bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. The two bedrooms on the second floor offer privacy, a queen size bed, heated floor in the bathroom, a sitting area, and an eastern or western exposure. The third bedroom is on the ground floor with a queen bed and a private bath.
A well-arranged baker's kitchen offers a large island, two ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, and other small appliances.
On chilly evenings the wood stove warms the dining room that seats (6) with a view of Longs Peak from the over sized door.
The cozy living room offers pull-out couch, cable TV, a combo DVD-VHS player, books of the area, movies, and games.
Wireless internet is also available.
A stay of less than 5 days is $250.00 a night, I require a 4 day minimum unless I have a gap in my calendar.
NOTE: While we have a "Book it" button on our listing, we strongly recommend that you contact us first via phone or the "Send e-mail" button. We want all our guests to love staying in our house as much as we do, and to that end, we'd like the opportunity to answer all your questions and make sure it is the best fit for your party, before you make any monetary commitments.
Keywords: cozy home, views, Rocky Mountain National Park
I returned to Estes Park because of fond memories of earlier days working at Dude ranches in the area. I purchased Hill House in 2007. I have the good fortune to work in Rocky Mountain National Park with the Resource Division. I tend to the native plants during the day and then to my own at home. My background is plants so the yard around Hill House has a mixture of native and other perennials.
I have spent 5 years improving Hill House. What was once a little house with an attached rickety cabin is now a simple but comfortable home. I salvaged all I could when I dismantled the cabin addition and have reused much of the paneling, trim, and exterior siding. I was able to build a small green house using the old windows, siding for the floor, and reused roofing. I also frequented building material recycling yards and have purchased items such as sinks, vanities, the sliding door in the kitchen, as well as other doors. After this long road of never-ending projects, I am excited to share Hill House with you.
During the winter of 2015 I added a garage to the back of the house.
Check out Hill House on facebook to see the before and after pictures.
Trish Stockton purchased this house in 2007
Hill House is close to my beloved Rocky Mountain National Park (I can walk to work). Longs Peak and surrounding mountains can be seen from the front porch. The neighborhood is in a quaint older area of Estes.
If you are tired of driving or didn't bring a car, free transportation is conveniently available from Hill House during the summer season. After a long day of hiking or hitting the shops, Hill House is a great place to relax. The comfy chairs on the wrap-around porch offer not only views of the mountains, but the continuous entertainment of the local birds enjoying all the flowers in the yard.
After only being there an hour, we were all planning our return trip. The home was clean and inviting. Hill House is very convenient to the RMNP(you can actually walk to the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center in about 15 min)and Estes Park. There are several restaurants nearby, so you don't have to go to Estes Park if you want to eat out. But, the kitchen had anything you would ever want to cook with including lots of spices, condiments and baking items if you chose to cook your meals. We all liked sitting on the porch looking at Longs Peak and listening for the elk to bugle. The elk were very active during our stay and we got to hear the bugling at all times of day and night! Trish was very helpful whenever we asked for information and she had lots of tips inside the home as well. I would highly recommend Hill House for your vacation. It would be your home away from home.
Located five minutes from the main drag of Estes Park, and nestled in the mountains that make this location famous, this property allows one to avail of the amenities of town while ensconcing oneself in the beauty and solitude that is the Rocky Mountains. Trish has thought of everything to make her house your home. Your job is to relax, and relax you can, be it sitting on the porch as elk, squirrels, hummingbirds, and Rascal the black cat check you out as the new tenant, or by partaking in the numerous activities in town and its majestic, breathtaking (literally, for us sea-level-dwelling folk, and figuratively) environs. If you end up staying here, it may take a day or two to get used to the quiet, the only "noise" being the gentle wind from the west that blows in the morning. My suggestion.....make the effort. Your body and mind will thank you.
We truly enjoyed our week long stay at the Hill House.
The setting is excellent, each morning we woke to beautiful mountains and sunshine. Each evening we had the indoor fireplace to warm us at the dinner table. I love to cook, so we made breakfast and dinner at the Hill House. The kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation and serving.
We will definitely plan to stay at the Hill House again.
Wonderful experience.
Sharon and Bill
Our family totally enjoyed our week at Hill-House! All of the features of this cabin were really appreciated. Tricia's attention to details are both special and fun!
Excellent space for 6 adults, excellent and fully equipped kitchen, enjoyed it all!
A great location close to Rocky Mountain National Park. We enjoyed hikes, the view from the tram, dinner in town, game nights around the dining room table, ping pong, and s'mores at the fire pit.
This was a great week for us all, and one we'll always remember.
thanks for the awesome stay. it was the 3rd time we have rented this cabin and we will definitely be back. we love the location (close to the park, not so busy) and the cabin is so thoughtfully maintained. there are books, movies and toys for the kids and no joke, my kids said they like estes park more than disney world. seriously. thanks again, trish!
We just spent a week at Hill House. There were 6 adults and 1 infant. We appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom and a powder room to boot. Plenty of hot water and everything was clean!
The house is very inviting and comfortable. even for 7. The views of the mountains, deer, elk and even the hummingbirds made each visit to the front porch a delight.
Trish was great and helped us work through some reservation problems. She made a point to visit with us on the first day and give some good advice on visiting RNMP.
We highly recommend this house for your next vacation rental - unless it conflicts with our next visit.

Bill Hartzia – Turing Test
A bitter memory of promise lost,
Life gone, destroyed by paranoid device.
"A Snow White kill," decreed the Wicked Queen,
"No proof to show it was a suicide!"
Though Alan may have chosen muddied ways,
Using a most deceptive mind to hide,
Retaliation still tastes apple-sweet.
Indecency was all they coyly charged,
No crime at all except to prudish thought:
"God sends no man to jail, they send themselves!"
So Alan took the red pill, he refuted.
Cryptanalyst throughout the years of war,
Engima was a triumph of his work.
No codes could be believed to be secure,
The lives he saved would scarcely know his name.
Each flight of fancy brought a fast world on,
New ages of computers, robots, thought.
A century is gone, the world's sped up,
Respecting genius, and not too late...
Yet all around machines now bear his mark.

Cracking Bricks mean trouble! They can be a sign of major problems around the corner, which is why it's very important to address any cracks or movement in your brickwork to avoid more expensive costs in future.
From Ballarat Underpinning Services' 33 years' experience, one of the major problems is that many foundations are too shallow. The area between the old foundation and a firm clay base is the problem area – too wet it will subside, and too dry it will shrink.
These two scenarios only have one outcome, your home or building falling away.
If you notice windows or eave quads on corners moving, a popped up window sill, or cracked brickwork in your house, it may be time to consider the benefits of underpinning or restumping your home.
But how do you know whether you need to restump or underpin your home? Both bring your home back up to its original level, But Restumping is traditionally used for older weatherboard homes that sit off the ground on raised concrete or wooden stumps. Underpinning, Which is what we do, is for homes where the concrete foundations are subsiding and falling away, if you are experiencing any of these problems give us a call for an obligation free chat.
Colin Taylor is fully licenced and insured, a member of the HIA and MBA and able to organise all plans, permits and title if necessary.

International Action Needed To Ensure The Quality Of Medicines And Tackle The Fake Drugs Trade
A global treaty is urgently needed to tackle the deadly trade of substandard and fake medicines, say leading experts in a paper published on bmj.com today.
Their call comes just days before 100 World Health Organisation member states hold their first meeting to discuss the problem, and the authors hope it will help to influence the debate and lead to some concrete actions.
The lethal meningitis outbreak in the US due to contaminated steroid injections has again highlighted the serious consequences of this global problem. Other recent examples include a heart medicine containing a toxic overdose of a malaria drug, which led to 125 deaths in Pakistan, and a fake cancer medicine containing starch and acetone trafficked to Canada and the US. The extent of harm to patients is still unknown.
Substandard and fake medicines harm and kill patients, write an international group of experts led by Amir Attaran from the University of Ottawa in Canada, with the help of the World Federation of Public Health Associations, International Pharmaceutical Federation and the International Council of Nurses.
In poor countries, the World Health Organisation estimates that over 10% of medicines may be "counterfeit" and, although medicine safety is better in rich countries, fake drugs still cause thousands of adverse reactions and some deaths. In the European Union medicines are now the leading illegitimate product seized at the border, increasing 700% from 2010 to 2011.
Yet despite years of debate, no agreement on how best to tackle this scandal has been reached, they argue.
They say that progress on the twin challenges of safeguarding the quality of genuine medicine and criminalising falsified ones "has been held back by controversy over intellectual property rights and confusion over terms."
They believe that to move forward, several challenges must first be overcome.
For example, anti-counterfeiting laws must shift from protecting commercial interests to protecting public health interests; there must be clear, internationally agreed definitions for different types of illegitimate medicines; and more transparent surveillance and research is needed to measure the global scale of the problem.
"We argue that tackling the challenges of poor quality, unsafe medicines requires a comprehensive global strategy on which all stakeholders agree," say the authors.
They point to other global treaties, for example on human trafficking or money laundering, that "have helped governments strengthen their laws and cooperate internationally to clamp down on the havens."
They also point out that under today's leading public health treaty - the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) - the law is now tougher on fake tobacco than on fake medicines.
They urge WHO to embark on a similar process to that used to create the FCTC, which they believe "avoids unnecessary controversy and can better enable governments, companies, advocates, and the health professions to protect the public's health."

Wales - The inaugural Backyard Bash was by all indications an unmitigated success.
The Sunday night gala at The Legend at Brandybrook wasn't just any old pro-am pairings party. The room was filled with A-list Wisconsin celebrities, including several members of the Milwaukee Brewers, and the atmosphere was electric.
The conversational buzz and wine-glass clinking died when Maj. Ed Pulido of the Folds of Honor Foundation took the microphone; by the end of his stirring speech, you could have heard a pin drop.
On Monday, after a Coast Guard helicopter flyover, 19 PGA Tour pros - including Wisconsin's own Steve Stricker, Jerry Kelly, Mark Wilson, J.P. Hayes and Skip Kendall - teed it up with teams of amateurs, each of whom paid $3,500 for the privilege.
The two-day event netted approximately $130,000 for The First Tee of Milwaukee County, the Folds of Honor Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project, Veteran Shield and Birdies for the Brave.
"It seemed like everybody really enjoyed it, including the Tour players," said Joe Stadler, executive director of the Wisconsin PGA Section, which organized and ran the event.
"Our whole thought from the start was to make this fun and I think we pulled it off."
Now the question is, where does the Backyard Bash go from here?
Is it, as Kelly hopes, a prelude to the PGA Tour returning to Wisconsin? The Tour ended a 42-year run in Milwaukee in 2009, pulling up stakes after title sponsor U.S. Bank pulled out.
"You know me," Kelly said. "I want a PGA Tour event back in Wisconsin. That's where I think it should go. That's where I want it to go."
Or, is the Backyard Bash destined to become a nice two-day event that attracts top players, gets a small but enthusiastic gallery and raises a ton of money for charity? Stricker thinks that's a more realistic goal.
"Jerry and I and Mark can recruit and get the top players on the PGA Tour," he said. "I talked to some (Champions Tour) players and we could recruit there, too, and get some of those guys coming back.
"You'd create interest that way, I think, where you're getting some of the new up-and-coming guys and some of the great old-time players coming back. I think that would be a nice mix."
In order for Kelly's dream to come true, the event would have to attract a title sponsor willing to make a multi-year commitment in the range of $8 million annually. That kind of sponsor isn't exactly falling off trees these days.
"The PGA Tour is not going to put you on the schedule and say, 'OK, let's see what kind of event you can do,' " Kelly acknowledged. "It's all about the dollars."
The alignment with veterans' charities could get Backyard Bash organizers in the board rooms of a couple of major Wisconsin companies with big military contracts, but the economy isn't favorable for a deal.
"Long-term, I'm on Jerry's page," Stadler said. "I just don't see it happening tomorrow with all the majors coming to Wisconsin."
On the other hand, Stadler does want to grow the event. The inaugural Backyard Bash came together too late to include spectators; not only were the logistics at Brandybrook a challenge, but there wasn't enough time to plan for ticket sales, marshals, gallery ropes, concessions, etc.
"I'd anticipate allowing a limited number of spectators (in 2012)," Stadler said. "It needs to be kept minimal. You have to make sure you structure it so the Tour players have fun.
"At some point if we add a second day (for the touring pros) it would become a spectator and entertainment event."
Stricker said he'd like to model the Backyard Bash after the CVS Charity Classic hosted by Billy Andrade and Brad Faxon. Since its inception in the 1990s the two-day pro-am has raised more than $7.5 million for Andrade-Faxon Charities for Children, Inc.
Stadler said it was difficult to predict the future of the Backyard Bash.
"Steve, Jerry and Mark were actively involved in the planning," Stadler said. "Courtney (Buchach of the WPGA) recruited players. Four or five of us are working behind the scenes. So you're talking eight opinions, and the eight of us have never been in the same room.
"We will meet at some point. We need to be on the same page."
Whichever way the Backyard Bash goes, it got off to a rousing start.
"It just shows people want golf back," Kelly said. "This is a great start to what we want to do."

Where I stayed
First stop is Windsor for a quick peek at the castle. The �10 Vodafone microsim l have bought for the iPad is not connecting so without maps, we circle Windsor aiming for the turrets and finding what will undoubtedly become the next two week's norm... Impossibly narrow and one-way streets and outrageously priced carparks!
The castle dates from the time of William The Conquerer with all eras of style since, but it is the large round towers from the 1100's that capture the eye
Thirty years ago, Rod and l wandered into the main front lawn area of Windsor for free. Now - surprise! - there is a hefty admission charge (to pay for the restoration of the part that burnt down a few years back) and we elect instead to cruise the shops and grab lunch. The Edinburgh Woollen shop just outside the castle is still there, thirty years on. I remember looking at a tartan skirt kit there and deciding we'd find one cheaper up north and away from the tourist haunts. Never did. This time l admire the cashmere jumpers and again defer...
We wander down to the Thames and find river boats and scores of white swans being fed by tourists.
Another couple of hours finds us at Stonehenge just out of Amesbury. We are almost alarmed when it pops up on the top of a rise and at the fork of two busy roads.
People are spread along the cyclone fence snapping through the wires but we pay the admission. We arm ourselves with the included audio guide and circumnavigate the stones closer up albeit from a marked path. From pictures, l had expected a wider taller circle than it actually is, but the story of the pre-historic collection and transport of these stones from 300 miles away is impressive. Antiques indeed!
Without my Google maps to navigate, and a lack of helpful road signage, we are left to Hilary's phone and it's new Apple Maps app. It cannot locate our village, so with only a postcode as it's reference, it takes us cross-country on single lane horse trails but it does not fail us. We arrive successfully at Midway Place B&B in Fairleigh Wick, about 5 miles south of Bath. It has rated highly on booking.com and we are not disappointed by the charming building, rooms or hostess, Nita.
Dinner is at the well regarded "Fox & Hounds" inn next door, dating from 1741. There is widespread disappointment when we learn that the recommended hog roasts for the evening have run out, but the meals we order are excellent and an earlier dinner tomorrow is definitely planned!
