Ahead of England's clash against Spain, Liverpool fans have reacted with frustration on Twitter at calls for Marcus Rashford to start ahead of Daniel Sturridge.
The Liverpool striker started against Scotland in England's World Cup qualifier and scored the opening goal in a comfortable 3-0 victory.
He was given the nod ahead of Tottenham's Harry Kane, who only returned to action in the recent 1-1 draw against Arsenal following a two-month absence.
Kane was released from the England squad ahead of Tuesday night's friendly though and it has sparked discussion on whether Rashford should be given an opportunity up front.
Sturridge is yet to score a goal in the Premier League so far this season but has been in bright form for England, scoring three goals in his last seven appearances.
Rashford made his international debut in the 2-1 friendly victory against Australia in May and scored after coming on as a second-half substitute. The 19 year-old has scored three goals for Manchester United in the Premier League this season.
Here is a selection of the messages on Twitter:
Listening to Sky you'd think Rashford was as good as original Ronaldo and Sturridge is on par with David Nugent.
— Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) November 14, 2016
@SamMcGuire90 Rashford arguably matches Sturridge for finishing, otherwise every part of Sturridge's game is better.
— Tom McMahon (@TomMc_Sports) November 14, 2016
@no1confused Well he is m8… Sturridge will always get goals & better than Vardy, Kane, Rooney, Rashford the lot of them!!!
— Danny Bevan (@Bevan2703) November 14, 2016
Quinton Fortune thinks Rashford should be England's first choice striker. Ahead of Sturridge. And Kane. Oh and Vardy. pic.twitter.com/DKdWNkLj4K

@MesserBest Don't get why people want to dislike Sturridge. He's boss. Scored a bucket load for us too!
— Robbie Fowler (@StaffordScouse) November 14, 2016
Pretty silly that Sturridge has had to defend himself against lazy allegations when people wanted Defoe in the England team

In other Liverpool news, this Barcelona ace is being lined-up as a January replacement for Philippe Coutinho.

Plan to build 12 new homes in a Cardigan cul-de-sac- will create a "social housing enclave" in the south of the town, a site meeting heard this week.
Residents of Tenby Road are objecting to plans by local housing association Tai Ceredigion to build the homes, which include four flats and three one bedroom houses, on waste land at the top of the road.
Tai Ceredigion's agent Jake Raynesbury told the inspection panel that there were hundreds of local people on the housing waiting list.
"This is much needed accommodation for members of the local community," he said.
But residents say that including one-bedroom homes in the development will be "out of context" with Tenby Road, which is mainly detached family houses.
Residents spokesman Paul Bowen said: "We sympathise with Tai Ceredigion. We are not against social housing but object to single bedroom flats which are out of context with this area."
Town councillor Dai Brabrook said Cardigan was already well served with one bedroom flats with new developments in Pendre and William Street.
Other residents suggested that it would be more acceptable to develop bungalows for the elderly on the site.
There were also fears that social problems linked to the nearby Ridgeway and Golwg y Castell estates could spread to Tenby Road.
"I have lived here for 30 years and there sometimes has been trouble," said Huw Forster. "This development means you are bringing it to this side of the road and it will become our problem."
And resident Rich Stretford said: "You are creating an enclave of social housing in the south of the town which will more or less destroy the area."
Other residents claimed that their property values would fall - and said that a few sales on the road had already fallen through because of the proposed development.
They also expressed concerns about increased traffic and the effect on local wildlife.
The site inspection panel will report their findings back to the next planning meeting on August 13.

DETECTIVES are no longer treating the death of a man in Trafford as suspicious.
Police were called at around 7.15pm on April 2 to reports of a body at a house on Chester Road, Old Trafford.
On attendance, officers discovered the body of a 60-year-old man.
A 51-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder, but has now been released without charge.
A police spokesman said: "A post mortem result was inconclusive and further tests will need to be carried out to establish the exact cause of death.
"However, following a thorough investigation, the death of this man is no longer being treated at suspicious."

I don't own Harry Potter. (Sadly.) It belongs to the fabulous J. K. Rowling.
This idea has been running round in my head since Christmas, it's about time I wrote it. lol
This story is already finished and will have eight chapters. One posted every two days. This is malexmale. Sorry if it seems OOC in some places.
Summary: Ron and Hermione seeing how close Harry and Ginny are try and help Harry overcome his shyness and look for a spell to use to give him the push to confess his feelings. Unbeknown to them, it isn't Ginny who Harry loves.
Thank you so much to Cathcer1984 for all of her help. You are amazing :) x
I apologise in advance for any mistakes I may have made :)
The sun was just starting to rise at the burrow where everyone apart from Molly Weasley who was making breakfast, was sleeping. Except for one person who was stood outside and had been since the sun had come up. It was to be a busy day, Harry Potter ran a hand through his messy locks, he was to go into diagon alley today along with Ron, Hermione, Ginny and they were to meet Neville, Luna, Dean, Seamus and Hannah.
Together they were to buy their books. They were all returning to do their seventh year again and take their NEWTS. Harry was in two minds whether to go back because of what happened at the end of the war and his friends, so many he cared for had died that night, but with Hermione nagging saying he had to go back to finish school and Ron telling him to just say yes and save himself the earache he decided to go back.
So here he was awake and up before anyone else, not really looking forward to it as the more he thought about going back, the more he didn't want to. "Oh Harry dear you're up. Can you help me and feed the chickens please?"
Harry looked over his shoulder and saw Molly Weasley on the doorstep in her dressing gown. "Okay mum."
Molly beamed at what Harry called her and hurried on back inside. Harry smiled at the look on her face and remembered when he called her 'mum' for the first time. It was just after Fred's funeral and after everyone had either gone to bed or gone home.
Harry walked out of Ron's room and down the stairs, Fred's funeral had been the last one of many. Molly was to say something but broke down so Bill took over. All of the Weasley's were broken when Fred had gone, George more than the rest as he hadn't said anything until he said something today, saying goodbye to not only his twin, but his best friend as well.
Harry was on his way downstairs when he heard a noise come from the twins room, George had gone home as had Bill and Charlie was sharing with Percy and him with Ron and Hermione with Ginny, so as far as he knew, the twins room should be empty.
He put his hand on the handle and pushed the door open and saw Molly sat on Fred's bed. "Mrs Weasley?"
Molly sniffed and looked up. "Harry dear, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Harry walked over and sat next to Molly on the bed and put an arm around her. "I know this is a daft question, but are you alright?"
"No Harry. I know I will be in time, but not for a while yet. I have lost my son Harry." she said, crying harder onto Harry's shoulder.
"I know I could never replace Fred, and I don't want to, but you have gained a son in me. If you will have me...mum?"
"Mum?" Molly whispered and lifted her head to look at Harry who gave her a weak smile. "If you will have me."
Molly sobbed and hugged Harry close. "I have always thought of you as my son Harry. Of course I will have you."
End flashback.
Harry was feeding the chickens when someone walked up to him. "Mum said you was feeding the chickens and that I was to come and help you."
"Morning Ginny."
"You do know that she has only sent me out here in hopes that our fling thing will pick up again don't you. You need to tell everyone you are gay Harry."
"I know Ginny but not yet."
"Do you have your eye on anyone then?"
"Not really. I'm glad I told you though. Ron, I dread to think how he will react, Hermione will be there for me and then get on at me to either find someone or tell everyone, whereas you. I can talk to you and you will just listen and help."
"As long as I can talk to you over my crush for Dean."
"You know you can."
"Then we can help each other out."
Harry laughed and drew Ginny into a hug.
Back inside the burrow, Hermione and Ron were stood at the kitchen sink, Hermione smiling at the sight at the chicken coop. "They are getting close again Ron."
"Ron, go and fetch Harry and Ginny. Breakfast is ready." Molly said as she set the table and turned back to the food to place it all on the table so everyone could help themselves.
As usual in the burrow, breakfast was a noisy affair, all the Weasley's plus Harry and Hermione visiting. Once breakfast was over, Arthur had kissed Molly on the cheek and flooed off to work and Ron, Hermione and Ginny rushed upstairs wanting to get to the bathroom first. Harry who had already showered and dressed before the others got up, stayed downstairs and help Molly clear up. "You're a good boy Harry."
"Well I am all ready to go mum so I might as well help you clear up instead of sitting and waiting for the others."
It was mid morning when Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione walked into the leaky cauldron and saw Dean and Seamus laughing with Neville who had his hand entwined with Luna's who was talking quietly with Hannah.
"Harry." Neville said, looking up and seeing the small group enter the pub with Harry in front.
After greeting, they all moved on and into diagon alley. Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Hannah had gone off together leaving just the boys to wander around. "So Neville, did you introduce Luna to your grandmother then?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. I don't know what I was so worried about. Afterwards when I asked her what she thought of Luna she said 'for someone who doesn't seem all there, she talks a lot of sense. You would do well to keep hold of that one.'"
"I bet if your gran didn't approve that wouldn't stop you would it."
"No mate. I love her. Nothing, not even my Gran will stop me from being with Luna."
Harry laughed and continued walking with Neville as they neared the book shop, not looking where he was going, Harry bumped into someone, making him stumble back, having the wall stop him from falling, but the person he bumped into was just getting to their feet, brushing their clothes down. "I'm sorry." Harry said without looking at who he knocked over as he was crouched down picking up their books.
"I can pick up my own books Potter."
Harry looked up to see Malfoy looking down at him, books in hand, Harry slowly stood up and handed them over, but not before catching the cover of the top book. "You're taking muggle studies this year? Why?"
Malfoy snatched his books from Harry. "My business is my own Potter." he snapped before walking away.
Draco stopped when he reached Blaise who was shaking his head at him. "You said this year is going to different. 'The war is over, I don't have to be afraid anymore, I can let people see the real me, more importantly I can let Harry see the real me and hopefully things will develop from there.' And what do you do as soon as you see Potter? You snap at him. Clever."
"Shut up Blaise, so I panicked, I have all year."
Harry entered the book shop and started to collect the books he needed for his final year when Ron walked up to him. "I saw you. Why was you talking to ferret?"
Ginny who was not far from them, pretended to look for books whilst listening.
"Ron don't call him that. There is no need for petty name calling, we're not twelve anymore."
"He is still a git."
"Not to me, we lost too many people in this war, we have all moved on from it and grown up, there is no need for name calling any more."
"I'm not going to be nice to him."
"I didn't say you had to."
"It was his choice for people to hate him and join the dark side."
"If Voldemort threatened to kill you and your family unless you joined what would you do? Malfoy had no choice. You could see he didn't want any of it. He could have easily have gave us away at the manor but he didn't."
"I don't care Harry, you always have a choice and the ferret made his." Ron said before walking away.
Harry sighed and watched his friend walk away before looking out of the shop window, locking eyes with those stony grey ones of a certain Slytherin before he broke contact and turned to face Blaise.
"Oh Harry you don't."
Harry turned and saw Ginny stood there. "I'm afraid I do Ginny."
"Out of all the men to fall for you would have to pick him wouldn't you."
Harry laughed. "You know me Ginny, never pick an easy task do I."
It was the evening before they all returned to Hogwarts, Ginny returning for for her final year and Harry, Ron and Hermione returning for their eighth year to do what they missed in their seventh.
Molly had Charlie, Bill, and George set the tables out in the gardens whilst Ron, Hermione and Harry were to set the table and Fleur and Ginny were to help Molly as she made the food and laid it all out on the table.
Once everything was set and ready, everyone was sat and talking amongst themselves whilst helping themselves to food, Hermione who was sat next to Ron, nudged him and told him to look further down the table where they both saw Harry and Ginny sat next to each other, talking and laughing. "Why don't they just kiss and get together already?"
"They will in their own time Ron. Is Harry blushing?"
"I wonder how lover boy would fit in with this lot." Ginny said, pinching a stick of celery off Harry's plate.
"He is not my lover boy."
"Not yet he isn't. But he will be. Not only did I see how you looked at him, I also saw how he looked at you. What do you think he will be eating? Treacle tart?"
"Draco doesn't eat that."
"Oh it's Draco now." she said, teasing Harry. "What about whipped cream?"
"Draco hasn't got a sweet tooth Ginny."
"I bet he soon would if the whipped cream covered your co-"
"Ginny! Just what are you and Harry talking about down there? He has gone redder than your hair." Hermione shouted.
Harry ducked his head when he heard Charlie and George laugh out loud at his awkwardness whereas Molly looked at her son and daughter and beamed. Talking and blushing, just how her and Arthur had started out.
Well? What do you think?
Chapter two will be up in two days :)
Review? :)

Following the instructions on the package of my first multi-shaper, I made many errors, fortunately on scrap paper. I thought I had to cut a 4-inch or 6-inch circle first, then trim around it! Your video was invaluable to me and made using the tool easy and satisfying. I now have a whole file of shapes ready for when I do my next album--- once I found out how to do it right, I couldn't stop!

I've been using one of these punches for about a month now and it works beautifully! Incredibly easy to use and you don't have any problem lining the paper up, they've made it very simple. I had some trouble the first time with the punch not going all the way through, but once I stood up and punched it worked great! What a great idea!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PUNCHES!!!! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get them lined up right, but the magnet is so strong there is no problem with that. I have actually made circles, squares and ovals with these punches for on greeting cards. They look great. I would recommend these punches to anyone! Big Hugs to you all at Paper Wishes for offering such great products!

A new Banksy has been uncovered, or rather unwrapped. Lab Rat, a painting created in 2000 by the reclusive figure, was found shrouded in bubble-wrap in a warehouse.
Art dealer John Brandler has acquired the piece and unveiled it today at the ICN Gallery in Shoreditch. At 2.2 by 2.4 metres, it is too big for his house so he is now looking for a large space to exhibit the Banksy. "Paintings are for seeing, especially ones by him," he said. "Art causes a reaction but it can't do that from a storeroom."
Lab Rat was commissioned a few years before Banksy became known for his satirical graffiti and made up part of a stage design for a Glastonbury set. The priciest of his pieces, 2007's Keep It Spotless, made more than £1 million at New York Sotheby's auction in 2008.
Lab Rat, however, is an example of his more traditional skills. "It shows how he handles a brush," Brandler explains. "A lot of these artists can't do that. They're not original. He will last. In 100 years Banksy will still be relevant but people will laugh at us for having Hirst on our walls."
If Banksy — yet to be unmasked — appeared, he could do so in peace. "How would I know it was him?" adds Brandler. "But if he did come in I think he'd be glad to see it on display."Reuse content

OUR sailors are going for gold again today.
A thrilling medal showdown is set to get underway between Great Britain's and Australia's 470 dinghy contenders.
Portland 's Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell are guaranteed at least a silver medal at their first ever Olympic Games.
However the first-time Olympians could upgrade it to a 'shinier' gold one if they can finish with one boat between them and their Australian rivals Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page.
With just four points separating the two teams at the top of the 470 Men's leaderboard there is everything to play for when the double-points racing gets underway at 1pm today on the spectator Nothe course.
Helm Patience, of Weston, described it as a 'win-win situation' saying: "It's theirs to lose and ours to win."
The 26-year-old said he expected some one-on-one aggressive match racing from the Australians, who would be trying to take control of the Brits to claim victory.
He said: "They've been doing it all week, we've done it to them as well. Game on."
Crew Bithell said they were feeling 'relaxed and happy' going into the showdown in silver medal position.
He said: "We're under no pressure there, the Aussies are under more pressure, it feels like the expectation is on them."
The 25-year-old said he hoped the light wind forecast would not result in racing being called off, with medals awarded on the current standings.
He said: "Obviously we want our shot at it."
Bithell said the pair had been having such fun this week in the big breezes they had shouted 'woo hoo' going over the waves.
He said: "To be honest we've been blessed with the weather, we like the wind and it's been a fairly windy week, we're very good in that, the Aussies are very good in that."
During yesterday's rest day Patience and Bithell went through a few 'match racing scenarios' with their coach and their veteran teammates Ben Ainslie and Iain Percy.
Bithell said: "We've been getting advice off Ben and Iain, some of the best match racers in the world. They've been telling us about the different techniques and the way you can sting them on penalties.
"Especially if it's light on the Nothe course, it plays to our strengths."
Bithell cited how double Olympic gold and silver medallist Percy and crewmate Andrew Simpson had missed out on gold when their rivals benefited from a windshift on this course.
He added: "Hey, Percy and Bart lost a medal when they were the favourites: Let's get one back again."

Doctors are drawn into their profession for all sorts of reasons. Some follow in the footsteps of a relative or friend. Others excel at science at school. In my case, the decision was made one morning, out of the blue, as I looked into an open body.
While studying English literature as an undergraduate I had a friend whose father was a surgeon. When introduced to him, I badgered this man so relentlessly about his job that he asked if I would like to visit his operating theatre.
Over the course of a day, I watched him remove a cancer from a man's jaw, then repair it. I will never forget the way I felt seeing someone's face being dissected, layer by layer, then rebuilt. I made the decision then and there that I wanted to go to medical school.
It's been nearly 20 years since that day, and now I'm a surgeon myself. But I have never lost my sense of wonder at the human body. This column is about the details of the body that have fascinated me; parts as big as a leg, or as small as a cell. I don't aim to be comprehensive, but to convey something of what continues to fascinate me about the wonderful subject of human anatomy.
The hand's early-warning system
Get into position to shake someone's hand, and look at where the base of your thumb meets your wrist. Between the two tendons you will find the anatomical snuff box. In bygone times, this pretty dip was just the right size for snorting snuff from, but today it is known as a hazard-zone by any doctor who has been through training in emergency medicine.
I did mine at The Royal London Hospital and still remember how important I felt turning up to a department which had its own helicopter. Less glamorous was the lecture I received on my first day about all the ways a junior doctor in A&E could end up being sued. One of these involved the anatomical snuff box.
If a person falls on their outstretched hand, they are most likely to break the radius, one of the two main bones supporting the forearm. The most common type of fracture in these circumstances is known as a Colles fracture, where a fragment of bone is broken off the end of the radius and pushed backwards. This is usually detectable on the two routine X-rays requested for any serious wrist injury, and is often correctable under local anaesthetic in the A&E department.
What is much easier to miss, is a break in the scaphoid – one of the bones within the hand – which is also vulnerable to damage from a fall on to the palm. These fractures may be undetectable on routine images from the radiographer. Even special x-rays, showing the wrist from different angles, may appear normal for days after an injury. And scaphoid fractures often result in compromise to the bone's blood supply from the radial artery, one of the main two arteries in the forearm, until the substance of the bone is deprived of essential nutrients. If this occurs a patient can have life-long problems with arthritis of the wrist.
One should never forget to press in the anatomical snuff box of someone who has fallen on their outstretched hand. Eliciting pain from so doing raises a strong suspicion of a scaphoid fracture, which can then be treated, saving both patient and doctor a great deal of trouble further down the line.

Louisiana-Lafayette quarterback Eric Rekieta was going eight-for-eight to open up the game, the Cajuns were consistently flirting with going into the Oklahoma State endzone, the Cajuns had 131-yards to the Cowboys 33-yard-line, all while the Cowboys had 33 yards of offense. They also had 32 yards in penalties, not a winning ratio.
Cornerback Robert Jones appeared to save the Cowboys with an interception in the endzone to stop a Cajun threat, but Cowboy tailback and the Big 12's leading rusher Tatum Bell gave it right back with a fumble on the next play. The bench was solemn, the fans were too quiet, and enter Venrand Morency.
This is the same Vernand Morency that flashed onto the O-State landscape with a sensational 108-yard debut against Louisiana Tech in the 2002 season opener. The same player that was curtailed by an ankle injury most of last season. Yes, this is the same guy that came from minor league baseball and got into trouble off the field in the spring. He has spent more time in head coach Les Miles' dog house than he has he out of it.
Morency made major strides toward playing time during the open week. Backup Seymore Shaw has been hampered by a turf toe, and when Bell committed the cardinal sin of fumbling, Morency got the call to return to action. He started with three carries for a total of 13 yards and a first down. That was just the warmup, as the next series he busted a 12-yarder, then an 11 yard carry, a sensational tackle busting 17-yard pickup, a tough three-yarder to the one, and finally, the one-yard plunge for the touchdown. It was good hard, tough running. The kind of performance delivered by Cowboy great tailbacks of the past.
"My whole mindset coming into the game was to pound it," said Morency when asked about that drive. "It's going to come to me and I'm just going to be patient. I knew my line was going to do a great job and they did."
Morency's performance lifted the Cowboy spirits. It was defenders Greg Richmond and Antonio Smith that rushed out to greet Morency after he carried for his first score. Everybody picked up the performance.
"We just love watching him run," said defensive end Greg Richmond. "We have great backs on this team. He's a sophomore grown man. He's like 24 years old. He runs so hard, and I just want to tip my hat to him."
"As a player you like that because you fight week in and week out on the practice field and you know the players respect you," said Morency. "As a football player you love that."
Morency was showing plenty of emotion himself, after several runs he looked up in the stands and screamed. It had to feel good for the oldest of the Cowboy players to be out there carrying the ball under the lights rather than on the scout team or in a backup role in practice. Morency showe much less emotion after the game than he did on his biggest run of the night, a 68 yard burst up the middle that saw him turn on the afterburners after breaking the line of scrimmage.
"Just watching film, I knew what the guy in the middle of the field was going to do," explained Morency. "I kind of hopped over somebody, and like I said the line did a great job."
Morency had help as quarterback Jsoh Fields hit D'Juan Woods for an 18-yard touchdown connection, and Darrent Williams sent the OSU Sports Information staff scrambling after he apparently became the first Cowboy to return two punts for touchdowns going 78 and 59 yards. Those were great highlights, but Morency was the guy that generated the emotion that makes the Cowboys play better.
"I prepare myself week in and week out as if I'm the starter," said Morency. "I was just glad to get the opportunity."
"Vernand Morency had a heckuva a day," said head coach Les Miles. "Morency had a great week of practice. He really was pointing towards an opportunity and that opportunity was given to him and he made the most of it. There was no reason to take him out."
Eventually there was as the Coboys had tucked the game away, but not before the former Colorado Rockies minor leaguer had rushed carried 18 times for 189 yards and the two touchdowns. Morency averaged a whopping 10.5-yards per carry. Tatum Bell will still be the starter, but I'm guessing that we won't have to wait so long before we see Morency again.

Hi all,
Have added our first W2K8 terminal server to our W2K3 domain. So far so good. The first problem I noticed was that I tried to delete/rename local profile copies from the server to "fix" a broken local profile copy, like you would on a W2K3 machine, but as it turns out this totally breaks everything on a W2K8 server! You have to delete the registry entry linking to that user's SID so it will recreate the local copy of the profile instead of just logging the user on with a temp profile... But I digress, we got over that hurdle.
Next thing is, can anyone recommend any good tips for getting the server to behave similarly to a W2K3 teminal server so our users don't get too freaked when they log onto it? I've already struggled with making the logon screen look more familar, next is using group policy to do things like pin shortcuts to the start menu and change the start menu back to the classic type etc.
I'm sure some of you may have already gone through this painful process, so any help or links to guides much appreciated :)

Some of the info here looks pretty relevant:

Dare I ask...why not let the users get used to the new OS?
While there will be a small learning curve, they will get over it.
Apr 23, 2012 at 11:00 UTC
I agree with Dthraco.
We with our users getting windows 7, the swtich to windows 2008 based RDS was rather seemless and complaint free for the users. The bigger annoyance was the 64bit thing that gave us a few issues.
Overall, the biggest pain point for me was that Microsoft dropped support for modifying the DPI via an RDP session in 2008 R2... my older users (*cough* more visually challenged) weren't really thrilled about that.
Everything else really just fell into place pretty easily.
Apr 24, 2012 at 2:59 UTC
Dare I ask...why not let the users get used to the new OS?
While there will be a small learning curve, they will get over it.
Basically because I wanted to give them as similar an experience as possible to avoid us getting 40 calls to ask us why the start menu doesn't look the same, or why they are having to type domain\\user when they log in..
You're probably right, best to let them learn, and I can put together guidance, but I never underestimate user's capacity to surprise me with reactions to change!
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:13 UTC
The login screen issue cannot be changed to be exactly like 2003 Microsoft removed that functionality when they did Vista.
Group Policy settings should handle the rest..
Apr 27, 2012 at 11:00 UTC
Pleased to say, I managed to get the login screen looking not EXACTLY like server 2003, (as this is not what I was trying to achieve), but managed to achieve the same functionality.
I did this by:
1) Setting two group policy settings that were targeted only at the 2008 TS. These were:
Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies/Security Options>Interactive Logon>Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name - ENABLED
Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies/Security Options>Interactive Logon>Interactive Logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL - ENABLED
So far so good, but unless you do step 2, it still always tried to log me onto the local computer, not the domain (unless you type the UPN prefix of domain\\\\), so this is the crucial step....
2) On the terminal server, go to the Terminal Services Configuration console. Right click the RDP-Tcp connection, and go to Properties. Click the Log on settings tab.
- Click "Always use the following log on information"
- Leave the username blank, and prefill the domain with your domain name.
I couldn't find a way to do this second step with GPO, I think it has to be set per terminal server, but anyway, it WORKS!!!!
The other thing you must ensure, is if you are connecting from a Windows XP client for RDP, that you blank out the username before connecting if it has been saved in an RDP file.
This second step wasn't easy to find as far as I'm concerned.. I managed to find it eventually on a Microsoft forum post where someone else had had the exact same problem, I'm really just posting it here in the hope that it helps other people.
My login screen now looks like the attached when you connect from an XP client.

Weathering is the word that defines all the manners that break down rocks in the location near the Earth's surface. When you look at a mountain range and look at piles of loose boulders and debris from landslides, it is weathering that has loosened them from the solid rock of the mountain. There are two main classes of weathering processes: mechanical and chemical. Weathering Wind causing abrasion or also water crashing against rocks causing breakage of rocks overtime. Mechanical and Chemical Mechanical weathering: Mechanical weathering procedure breaks rock down piece by piece, by physically destroying them.
Chemical weathering: Chemical weathering method breaks down rocks atom by atom through diverse types of chemical reactions.
Weathering Tree roots causing breakage of rocks. Weathering Frost wedging or thermal expansion has caused to break the rock in half. Himalayas: How is it affected by Weathering The Himalayas, also known as Himalaya, is a mountain range in Asia separating Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has some of the most highest peaks in this planet, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over a hundred mountains exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in height. The Himalayas is currently suffering the effects of frost wedging, where water seeps inside the rocks, and freezes. As the water freezes, it expands, cracking the rock from the inside.
Weathering Can see water runoffs causings cracks or pathways to be made. Thank You for watching the Presentation

MIAMI (AP) Tymell Murphy scored 22 points to lead Florida International to a 70-68 victory over Texas Southern on Saturday night.
Murphy was 10 of 14 from the field with 12 rebounds and two steals. Jerome Frink chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds.
The Golden Panthers (4-2) were down by as many as 10 points in the first period before a 23-13 run to even the halftime score at 34-34. The two schools kept it tight in the second period with FIU holding a narrow lead and Texas Southern tying the score three times. Tied at 63 with 4:25 left to play, Frink snagged a defensive rebound on a missed free throw by the Tigers' Aaric Murphy leading to a jumper by Dennis Marvin sparking a final 7-5 scoring run to finish the game.
Murray led the Tigers (2-2) with 22 points, 11 rebounds and two assists.

Swiss Ski Season Delayed By Lack Of Snow
December 5, 2011 by staff
Swiss Ski Season Delayed By Lack Of Snow, The start of Switzerland's ski season has been delayed by a shortage of snow across the Alps.
The country has experienced its driest autumn on record, meaning many slopes have yet to receive any snowfall, the BBC reports.
The largest resorts such as Davos and St Moritz have used snow cannons to open in time for the traditional start of the season, while many other slopes remain closed.
BBC correspondent Imogen Foulkes said the news is worrying for Swiss tourism, which has already taken a hit from the strong Swiss franc, which makes a skiing trip to Switzerland more expensive than going to France, Italy and Austria.
Snow was spotted in some parts of the Swiss Alps on Saturday, although experts said it wasn't enough to mark the beginning of the ski season.
Ski resorts in neighbouring countries have also suffered from a lack of snow.

Sailors visiting the dual-nation island of St. Martin and St. Maarten may want to stop by nearby Saba.
Travelers arriving on Saba by boat need to enter at Fort Bay. This port of entry is located at the southwestern side of the island. Saba's former port was located in the area between Well's Bay and Ladder Bay. Although travelers can no longer enter the country here, in case of difficult conditions sailors might be be granted permission to anchor offshore in this area.
It should be noted that when the winds are particularly strong, each of these ports can provide some protection. Should the winds be coming from the northeast, head to the port at Fort Bay. Southeastern winds will lose much of their power when travelers are anchored in Well's Bay or Ladder Bay on the northwestern side of the island.
Minimal docking fees are charged, as the entire area around Saba has been named part of the Saba Marine Park. Several regulations protect the reefs, which are the biggest attraction on Saba, at least nominally. Sailors should expect to pay $3(USD) per person, per week to dock on Saba.
To clear into Saba, travelers should follow these instructions:
Contact the harbormaster in Fort Bay on channels 16 or 11.
Once the harbormaster has been contacted, sailors will usually pick a mooring off of Fort Bay and clear ashore.
If weather is particularly bad, sailors may be able to travel to the anchorages at Well's Bay or Ladder Bay, where moorings marked yellow with a blue stripe are set aside for visiting yachts. Sailors will then need to reach Fort Bay, usually by dinghy.
The harbormaster is located in the government building near the pier in Fort Bay. Hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
It's worth noting that it's possible to check in and out at the same time – even if you're planning to stay on Saba for a few days. This means you'll only have to visit the harbormaster's office once. Travelers can also leave all of the clearance formalities to the harbormaster at a rate of $10(USD) to $30(USD), depending on the yacht's size.
Travelers should take the same precautions when visiting Saba as they'd take visiting any other Caribbean island. Watching for coral reefs is a must because of Saba's famed underwater formations. However, trade winds and rains, as well as the time of year, are always sailing considerations.
A Word of Caution: Since 1987, the waters around Saba have been a marine park. It is illegal for travelers to spearfish or take coral, and sailors may only anchor in sandy areas where coral cannot be damaged.
Travelers who don't have their own yacht can still sail themselves to Saba. Whether you're interested in sailing under your own guidance, with the help of an experienced professional, or just going along for the ride, there is plenty to learn about chartering.
When considering a charter, it's best to begin by learning about the different types of charters available:
Bareboat: Experienced sailors can charter a boat which they navigate themselves. They are both captain and crew of the ship, and must know what they're doing.
Skippered Bareboat: This is a bareboat charter with the addition of a skipper. Skippers are hired separately, and are sometimes required by charter companies when less experienced sailors want to sail bareboat.
Crewed Charter: With a full captain and crew, travelers on crewed charters find themselves on a high seas vacation, complete with an onboard cook.
Charters can be found through many routes, but it's popular to charter through a charter broker. Charter brokers can be especially helpful at matching vacationers with a crewed charter, though they can also help with bareboat charters.
Charter brokers are often part of two trade associations: the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA) and Charter Yacht Broker's Association (CYBA). Travelers may choose to search on their own for brokers from these two organizations, but a number are listed here:
In the Caribbean:
|Charter Broker
|Telephone Number
|Crewed Charters (U.S. Virgin Islands)
|Nicholson Yachts Worldwide (Antigua)
|Paradise Connections (U.S. Virgin Islands)
|Regency Yacht Vacations (U.S. Virgin Islands)
284-495-1970 (BVIs)
|Stewart Yacht Charters (U.S. Virgin Islands)
|Yates Yachts (U.S. Virgin Islands)
In Florida:
|Charter Broker
|Telephone Number
|Broward Yacht Sales Charter Division
|Charter Specialists
|Fraser Yachts Worldwide
|June Montagne Yacht Charters
|Marine Group of Palm Beach, Inc.
|Nicely-Dunn Yacht Charters
|Paradise Yacht Charters
|Rikki Davis, Inc.
|RNR Yacht Charters
|Tom Collins Yachts Worldwide
|Whitney Yacht Charters, Inc.
|Yachtstore, Ltd.
Another way to charter a boat is through a charter company. The two most popular large yacht charter companies in the Caribbean are The Moorings and Sunsail, though there are many different others. They can be described as large, small, first-tier, or second-tier.
Large companies often have more yacht options and are often easiest for first-time charterers. However, many smaller companies choose to stay small in an effort to provide top-notch customer service. The benefit of a larger company with a larger fleet is that they will almost always be able to offer an alternate yacht should any problems occur with your designated charter.
First- and second-tier companies are not related to size. While first-tier companies will have the newest equipment with the most extras, second-tier companies can offer lower rates on older yachts purchased directly from the fleets of first-tier companies.
Charter considerations include everything from size to cost. When planning a charter vacation, make sure you're getting exactly what you want.
Many experienced charterers choose a three-cabin, two-bath monohull ship, but these are generally not suggested for first-time charterers or families. Monohulls provide a more authentic sailing experience, but they also feature thin, plywood walls that allow almost all sounds through.
Catamarans are suggested for both families and first-time sailors. These ships are considered to have more comfortable cabins, and are known to experience much less roll in port, meaning that travelers prone to seasickness will have fewer problems with catamarans.
It's suggested that travelers consider booking a yacht with one more cabin than they intend to use. This is to ease the time spent aboard, as travelers spending long periods of time onboard the ship may wish to have a bit more space.
Costs are another consideration when chartering a boat. While two couples chartering a typical monohull ship and splitting the costs may end up with a lower cost per night than an average resort, the outcome may not always be this economical. Skippers charge between $80(USD) and $120(USD) per day, and are paid on top of the bareboat charter cost.
Crewed charters cost more than a bareboat charter, and the crew's tip is not included in the original cost. An appropriate gratuity is about 10 to 15 percent of the entire charter cost. Tips make up approximately 30 to 50 percent of the crew's income, so travelers should be sure to include this in their budget.
Food is another important cost that cannot be overlooked. When choosing a charter through a company, the company may offer to stock the ship for you. This convenience may outweigh any additional costs, but it is certainly not the cheapest way to stock the ship. Remember that when bringing along a skipper or a full crew, you'll be responsible for providing their food as well.
Crewed charters often come with some nice extras that can help to save you money over a bareboat. While most crewed charters come with items like snorkels and windsurfs, travelers will often have to pay additional for these items in bareboat charters. Bareboat charterers may also want to request items like a power windlass to help with anchoring, canvas sun shields for the cockpit, and even GPS and other electronic extras, though these may come at an additional fee.
The time of year that you set sail matters for more than just the weather. Charter costs, as well as island costs, go up during the high season. The sailing high season lasts from January through March, which overlaps with the high season for tourism in general throughout the Caribbean.
Other incidental costs can include deposits and cancellation fees. Always read the fine print before signing for a charter to make sure that you understand the costs and terms of the agreement.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Saba, and sailing through the Caribbean can be a one-of-a-kind experience.
Help us improve! We welcome your corrections and suggestions.

The Dio-Xros is a form of Digi-Xros merging a X Loader wilder and their main partner into the Digimon's natural (or second) Mega Level form.
Creation and History
When creating the X Loader, Omnimon created the idea of merging the General/Hunter with their partner, after the concept of Digivolution was added into the X Loader, the team began work on the idea of the Dio-Xros, but was interrupted due to SkullKnightmon's attack on their lab.
After the second defeat of Bagramon and DarkKnightmon, the X Loaders are returned to Omnimon to continue the development of the Dio-Xros, while Xros Heart continues on other adventures in other worlds (such as New Vestroia and Mobius.) while Dan, Star and Airu continue Hunting Digimon who attacking the worlds, leaving their X Loaders unable to be upgraded.
It takes nearly half a year, but the program is created, but Omnimon warns Phineas, Ferb and Isabella not to use the power of the Dio-Xros just yet. But due to the unknown Digital Reality using emotions for the Digimon's power, Phineas partially taps into the Dio-Xros' power and forces OmegaShoutmon to Dark Digivolve into DuskShoutmon. During that Isabella and JetSparrowmon manage to tap into the power, and Dio-Xros into Sparrowmon's second Mega Level form of GuardianSparrowmon.
During a battle with an half-Bakugan/half-Digimon hybrid, Ferb and ZekeGreymon are able to Dio-Xros into TitaniumGreymon.
After feeling a sense of uselessness and fear, another incomplete Dark Digivolution occurs forcing JetSparrowmon to become RaidenSparrowmon, despite the best efforts of Arresterdramon, Cho-Hakkaimon, StarBirdramon and TitaniumGreymon the Dark Mega Level is to much for them. Phineas and OmegaShoutmon are finally able to claim the ability to Dio-Xros into the form of AlmightyShoutmon.
Name Origin
- The name "Dio" comes from a merging of the words "Digi" and "Bio" while retaining "Xros" from the natural "Digi-Xros".

Admire the most beautiful places of Forgaria nel Friuli and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
The House of Handicrafts and Rural Geis Riscjei was opened in 2005 by the municipality, in the former headquarters of the Dairy turnaria of Cornino to host wooden rakes, gerle and other items in Wicker, donated by the inhabitants of the country, made until 1976, the year of the earthquake. The production of these objects was typical of the place thanks to the abundance of wood, available in the monte Prat plateau and the significant amount of existing bed of Wicker Tagliamento.
The structure is divided into two rooms:

(Part 3 of Part III): Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
A/N: Sorry for the delay. Here's the final part of Part 3 which should have been all one part to start with. (sigh) For those who have asked, the original title "One is the Loneliest Number" is an old(ish) song by Three Dog Night. This "chapter" is named after one of the lines of the song. It was the only line left I hadn't used. The song, as it turns out, is extremely repetitive. So this title doesn't have anything to do with this chapter. Is that confusing enough?
It wasn't too hard for Jim to determine which of the structures just outside of town was the seat of government, where he was pretty sure he'd find the Califer and his 'advisors.' Because there was something more going on down on this God forsaken planet than had been obvious to them. And he was determined to find out just what that something more was. It had already gotten him temporarily relieved of command. If he could find the evidence he needed, he'd either regain his command or be permanently relieved. Either way, he'd be damned or freed by the truth.
He was crouched behind a convenient hedgerow just outside to governmental complex, studying the comings and goings of the inhabitants. He hadn't seen anyone who looked like the Califer although he had yet to see him in person. He had studied the mission briefings enough to know if any of the natives leaving or entering were the ruler of the planet. And none of them fit the description.
There was a back door to the imposing structure and he decided that was his best bet to gain entry. Slip in hopefully undetected, find the Califer and then…. Well, that part of the plan was a little sketchy but he'd done more with less.
As he started to rise to move closer to the back entrance, a very warm hand clasped his shoulder, pushing him back down. Jim's heart was racing and his brain momentarily shut down. Shit. Caught already, were his slightly panicked thoughts. Right up until Spock whispered in his ear.
"You should have told me you were coming down," Spock said, studying his Captain with a look of impatience. He was also wearing only his black undershirt and regular pants, deciding as had Jim that the gold and blue were too obvious in the dark of night.
Jim shook his head in response to Spock's statement. "You need to go back up. I'm already relieved of command."
"Unjustly," Spock said. "I cannot allow them to do this to you."
"You can't be in this, Spock. I have to do this alone."
"You do not," Spock corrected. "As you so often state, two heads are better than one."
"We don't need two heads on the chopping block," Jim insisted quietly. "This is my fight."
"This is our fight, Jim. One we will win together," Spock said.
Jim shook his head. "No, Spock. Go back up. I'll be fine. I have to clear my name. And, no offense, get my ship back."
"I have the same goals. I do not wish to be Captain," Spock said.
Jim sighed. "Please."
"No," Spock said, ending the debate and studying the back entrance. "What is your plan for getting inside?"
"I don't know. I'm making it up as I go along," Jim said.
"You have been watching Raiders of the Lost Ark again," Spock observed, making Jim laugh softly.
"Now you've decided to experiment with Human humor?"
Spock shrugged, intently watching the doors of the complex. There seemed to be a lot of activity for so late into planet's night.
"What are they doing? It's close to midnight and it's been like this since I got here 10 minutes ago," Jim said, crouching low beside Spock.
"I am curious about the same thing," Spock agreed. "There. See those two in the ornate blue robes?"
"Yeah," Jim agreed, watching them follow the cobblestone path that led up to the front door.
"They just exited the back. Why would they leave through the back to enter in the front?"
"An excellent question. And none of the natives we encountered wore robes. They were all dressed like the ones we accidentally brought up – simple pants seemed to be their usual manner of dress."
"Yes," Spock agreed. "If we can intercept two such figures, we can use their robes to go in undetected."
"You think?" Jim asked, watching three more cloaked beings leave the back door and go to the front entrance to be admitted by a smallish figure wearing the pants the others had been wearing. "What if they are having a meeting that requires a secret handshake?"
"Then you will figure out what that handshake is," Spock said in certainty.
"Thanks," Jim chuckled softly. "This is just weird."
"It is indeed. I am relieved that you decided not to simply accept the actions of the Admirals," Spock said, turning to study Jim with intense black eyes.
Jim shrugged. "Once I got over feeling sorry for myself, I got really pissed. Anger always motivates me."
"That is good to know," Spock said, returning his focus to the mysterious activities at the front entrance.
"You already knew," Jim replied, Spock quietly agreeing with his statement. "Okay. Let's go toward the back. You can nerve pinch the next two into oblivion."
"Do you have a phaser?"
"No. I couldn't beam down undetected if I took one. Stupid safety protocols."
"Why did you not simply disengage the scanner?" Spock asked.
"Would have taken me too long to reroute the circuits. By the time I finished, Scotty or Sulu would have been alerted."
"I see. You may need to practice," Spock suggested, making Jim laugh.
"Yeah. I need to remain adept at subterfuge on my own ship."
"It could be helpful should we ever be overtaken by intruders."
"I do know that," Jim agreed. "Look. There's two now. Come on."
Spock nodded and followed Jim closer to the back entrance, staying behind the hedgerow until they were parallel with the two robe clad figures. Jim and Spock silently approached from behind, Spock disabling them simultaneously.
"You sure you can't teach me that?" Jim asked as he divested the first of his heavy blue cloak, conveniently complete with a deep hood.
"Quite sure," Spock said, fastening his robe at his throat and pulling the hood over his head. They moved the bodies to the opposite side of the hedgerow, going to the front door where they were admitted with no questions asked, no secret handshake required. The beings who had already entered were still in the huge foyer, a curved stairwell hugging the back wall. Everyone's focus seemed to be on the stairwell so Spock and Jim looked that way as well.
It wasn't long after they entered that two men appeared at the top of the stairs, looking down over the balcony. One was clearly the Califer, adorned in regal purple robes, gold markings woven into the fabric.
Jim had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop his gasp when he saw the second man. He could feel Spock's surprise course through his body to echo his own. Commander Kor stood next to the Califer in his Klingon uniform, scowling down at all those looking up at him.
Jim instinctively took a small step backward, wondering how soon they would be able to exit the gathering. They had all the information they needed. The Klingons had gotten to Ksaddurru first and were apparently manipulating the Califer for their own purposes. Which with Klingons was never going to end well. Having him relieved of command was obviously a bonus.
"Our plan is progressing better than we had hoped," Kor said with great satisfaction, those gathered murmuring and nodding. "The Captain of the dreaded Federation starship has been humiliated and dismissed. We will not be bothered with those lowly Humans and their pathetic attempts at 'peace.' The Klingon Empire will protect you and your resources in exchange for a fair share of your minerals and precious metals."
"The ship remains above our planet," one brave soul said, safe to voice concern in the anonymity of the group.
"It will depart before many more hours. We have disgraced them and left them no reason to remain," the Califer said, to Kor's nods.
"Your job is now to secure those resources we have agreed to accept in exchange for your protection," Kor said. "I expect to see the entire inventory delivered here within the next 4 days. If you fail me, my ship will have no choice but to depart, leaving you defenseless when the Federation exacts their harsh retribution against you."
"That is something we will not tolerate," the Califer said in reinforcement of Kor's words. "For now, we will celebrate our victory. Join us in the Hall of Mirrors for a victory feast."
There was general agreement with that, all of the robed beings going toward a wide hallway to the immediate left of the stairwell. Kor and the Califer remained on the balcony so Jim and Spock had no choice but to follow behind, hoping to find a convenient exit. That opportunity arose just before they were going to enter the huge Hall of Mirrors when a servant exited the kitchen, Jim and Spock quickly entering, to the surprise of those working. It didn't take long from them to arrive outside, discarding their cloaks and requesting transport from a very startled Lt. Zandi. Once they were safely back on board, Jim went straight to the communications panel, ordering Lt. Zandi to take them out of orbit.
"Coordinates, sir?" Lt. Zandi asked.
"The nearest moon or planet that will disguise our presence," Jim ordered. "I'm on my way to the Bridge. I'll explain when we get there."
"Yes, sir," Lt. Zandi agreed. They heard him issuing the order as they hurried out of the transporter room. Lt. Zandi stood as they entered the Bridge, leaving the Captain's chair for the rightful Captain.
"Turns out the Klingons arrived before we did," Jim explained to the Gamma crew on the Bridge. "They are exploiting the planet – demanding their natural resources in exchange for 'protection' from the Federation."
"That explains a lot," Bones said as he crossed over to Jim and Spock from the turbolift. "What are we going to do?"
"Did Admiral Pike contact us?" Spock asked.
"He did, sir. Half an hour ago. Lt. Scott explained that you were indisposed. Both of you," Zandi said.
"Okay. Food poisoning in space is no fun," Jim said. "Lt. Russell, please see if you can reach the Admiral."
"Aye sir," he responded, turning to do so. It was only a matter of minutes before Pike appeared on the viewscreen.
"Are you two okay?" Chris asked in undisguised concern.
"We're fine, sir," Jim assured him. "We were on the planet."
"I see," Chris said, eyeing them both. "What did you learn?"
"The Klingons beat us here," Jim said, the realization dawning on Chris' face.
"No wonder," Chris said. "All right. Spock, you need to remain in command until I can get this straightened out. Jim, stay out of sight, please. What is your current heading?"
"Lt. Zandi?" Jim asked.
"We are heading toward Dokuwo Major at impulse, sir. Once we are out of detection of their sensors, we will go to warp 2 and arrive there in short order."
"Very good," Pike said. "The atmosphere of Dokuwo will hide you from the Klingons."
"Our thoughts exactly, sir," Zandi agreed.
Pike nodded, focusing back on Jim. "Lay low. I know it will be hard for you."
Jim shrugged. "I'll keep myself busy and out of trouble, sir. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Jim. I'll tell you all about it later."
"Okay. Lt. Zandi, I will be in my quarters. I'm sure you won't need me but if you do, you'll need to ask Mr. Spock instead."
"Understood, sir," Lt. Zandi said with a nod, watching the three men leave the Bridge. He was just glad that the Captain was back and would soon be back in his rightful place, on the Bridge. As it should be.
