Technical Note 1505
Last Reviewed 14-Feb-2013
Applies To
Reflection for the Web 2014 (All Editions)
Reflection for the Web 2011 (All Editions)
This technical note recommends several techniques, including font adjustments and session window sizing, to optimize the appearance of host screens and printouts using Reflection for the Web.
In this note:
Optimizing the Display: Font Settings
Optimizing the Display: Host Screen Size Adjustments
Optimizing Fonts for Printing
Java Fonts and Reflection for the Web
Java applets access fonts differently than native applications. In a Windows environment, this means that a limited number of font choices are available to the user, both for display and for printing. Attachmate has included several settings to achieve an optimal display using this reduced set of fonts.
Optimizing the Display: Font Settings
To adjust the appearance of fonts for display, open a session window. On the Setup menu or on the shortcut menu of your session window, click Terminal, and select the Fonts tab. This section details the version-specific options available on the Fonts tab.
For information on adjusting the size of fonts, see the Optimizing the Display: Host Screen Size Adjustments section. For information on adjusting fonts for printing, see the Optimizing Fonts for Printing section.
Font Settings in Reflection for the Web
The following options are available on the Fonts tab.
Font Selection
Select different fonts from the scrolling menu to see how they affect the display. The default font, RWeb, works well with most session windows close to 600 by 400 pixels.
The Font list contains all fonts made available by the Java Runtime Environment. In most Java 1.1 environments, only a short list of aliases to some of the fonts installed in your operating system will be available. In newer environments, most or all of the fonts installed in your operating system will be available. To add other fonts to this list, see the documentation for your web browser, Java Runtime Environment, or operating system.
Font Size
Choose whether you want to have a font that scales automatically according to the size of the window, or a fixed point size.
- Scale font to fit terminal display
Use this option to have the font resize according to the size of the window. You can specify a Minimum point size for this option. If the entire terminal screen cannot fit in the window using the minimum point size, scrollbars are available.
- Used fixed point size
Specify the point size for the terminal window display. If the entire terminal screen cannot fit in the window using the specified point size, scrollbars are available.
Text anti-aliasing
This setting determines whether the display text will be anti-aliased (smoothed). The options are On, Off, and Default. When the Default setting is selected, the default anti-aliasing behavior of the Java Runtime Environment is used. Note that this default varies between JRE versions and operating environments.
If you have problems with the text display of the selected font using the Default option, On or Off may provide a better text display. In Reflection for the Web 2008, see the help topic, Use bitmap font for small sizes, for another display text option. Beginning in Reflection for the Web 2011, bitmap fonts are no longer supported; True Type fonts are supported and do not require this option.
Preserve character proportions
When disabled (the default), characters are scaled vertically and horizontally to fill as much of the character cell as possible. When this setting is selected, characters will be of the largest size and proportions naturally supported by the selected font, but will not be scaled.
Preserve character spacing
When disabled (the default), the display allocates as much space as possible to character cells regardless of the natural proportions of the selected font, and allocates the remainder to the margins. When this setting is selected, character cells are sized to fit the natural proportions of the selected font, with the remainder being allocated to the margins.
Note: For the highest quality display, disable both the Preserve character proportions setting and the Preserve character spacing setting. Enabling these settings may increase the performance of the display, but may also result in smaller characters, more white space between characters. wide margins, or spacing between rows.
Draw slash through zeros
When selected, a slashed zero is substituted for whatever zero is present in the selected font. If the font already uses a slashed zero, leave this option unselected for the best display. This option affects only the terminal window and has no effect on printing.
Use bitmap font for small sizes in Reflection for the Web 2008
In some environments, fonts may become unreadable at smaller sizes. When this option is selected, a bitmap font is used when the text on the screen becomes smaller than a predetermined minimum size. This setting may improve legibility, particularly in environments without effective text antialiasing.
Note: Beginning in Reflection for the Web 2011, bitmap fonts are no longer supported. True Type fonts are supported and do not require the bitmap font display text option.
Optimizing the Display: Host Screen Size Adjustments
Reflection for the Web (all versions listed in the Applies To section) scales the host output to fit the area in which it is displayed. When you adjust the size of the display area, Reflection automatically resizes the fonts in the display window.
Or, you can choose to use a fixed point size instead. See the Font Size section under Font Settings in Reflection for the Web.
To control the resizing behavior, follow the suggestions that apply to your session's configuration.
Session is Displayed in a Separate Window
You can resize the display temporarily or permanently.
To temporarily resize the display, simply adjust the size of the session window. An end user can drag the borders of a session window to resize it. This procedure must be repeated each time the session is launched unless the setting is saved to the local preference file.
Note: This setting can be saved only if the administrator configured the session to allow users to configure and save their own settings.
To permanently resize the display:
- Open the Session Manager in the Administrative WebStation.
- Create a new session or open an existing session.
- In the Advanced Settings section, click More.
- Select the "Use these windows dimensions" option and configure the Width and Height to your specifications.
- Scroll to the end of the page and click Continue, and then click Save Settings.
Session is Embedded in a Browser Window
Reflection for the Web scales a browser-embedded session window to dimensions specified in the session applet.
To modify the session applet:
- Open the Session Manager in the Administrative WebStation to edit or create an embedded session.
- In the Advanced Settings section, click More.
- In the Windows Size and Status Bar section, configure the Width and Height to your specifications.
- Click Continue, and then click Save Settings.
Adjusting Screen Resolution
You can also modify the size or clarity of a Reflection session window by changing the resolution of your desktop. In general, lower resolution values enlarge the host screen but may decrease the clarity of the display. Higher resolution values reduce the size of the host screen but may make the display clearer.
Optimizing Fonts for Printing
The font used for printing is set differently from the font used for display. Font performance for printing can vary greatly depending on your system configuration. The following variables can affect the appearance of printed text:
Java virtual machine version
Operating system platform
Printer driver
The sections below discuss optimizing the appearance of fonts when printing from Reflection for the Web.
Font Selection
The font setting used for display has no effect on the font used for printing. Resolutions used in printing are usually much larger than those on the terminal display.
To select a font for printing:
- In a Reflection session, click File > Page Setup, and click the Page Options button.
- Select a font from the drop-down menu in the Text Format area.
In versions 8.0 9.x, the RWeb font is not the best choice for printing; it is optimized for terminal display.
Sizing Printing Jobs
The options for sizing a printing job in Reflection for the Web include scaling and row/column adjustments. Specific information about font sizing in IBM printer emulation sessions are addressed in the last section .
Scaling is used to manually increase or decrease the size of your printout. To use scaling (in any aforementioned version), click File > Page Setup > Page Options.
Use the percentage fields to increase or decrease the size of your printout. To change the size of your printout proportionately, enter the same percent value in each field. After changing values,
To print a test page: Click File > Print Setup. Choose your printer destination, and click the Print Test Page button.
Note: If a line of text becomes too long to fit on the page, it will not wrap to the next line. Instead, it will simply be truncated. This occurs because scaling is a direct magnification or reduction of the printout. To increase the size of a printout in a manner that is similar to changing the point size in a text editor, use the row/column adjustments described next.
Row/Column Adjustments
To adjust the point size of a printout: Click File > Page Setup, and click the Page options button.
The default values of 60 rows per page and 80 columns per page produce approximately 10-point type on letter-size paper. To increase the point size, decrease the values. To decrease the point size, increase the values.
Note: To enlarge or reduce text proportionately using row and column adjustments, enter proportionate values in the Rows and Columns fields. For example, reducing Rows to 30 and Columns to 40 should produce well-proportioned, double-sized text compared to the defaults of 60 and 80.
Font Sizing in IBM Printer Emulation Sessions
In IBM printer emulation sessions (for example, session types "3270 printer" and "5250 printer"), font sizing can be more complex.
- The printer session Setup > Terminal dialog box has additional controls: "Fit host page width" and "Fit host page height." When these are selected (the default), the page size defined by the host is automatically scaled up or down to fit the printing page.
- Setup > Terminal provides the option to "Override host page format" control. By default, this is not selected, because the data streams used by IBM for printing usually, but not always, include formatting commands. Such commands are used instead of the row/column adjustments to size the font. So, for the row/column controls in File > Print Setup > Page Options to take effect, "Override host page format" must be selected. Try the default before using this option.
- In the IBM printer session window, click Test Page to perform a general printing integrity and default font appearance check.
- If the IBM host uses "transparent mode", it means that usually there are printer commands embedded in the printing data stream. For example, on AS/400 systems this feature is called Host Print Transform. When a feature like this is used, nothing in the Reflection for the Web user interface has any effect on the font appearance or scaling.

Following a hard-fought campaign, television journalist Mauricio Funes of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) won the presidential election in El Salvador on March 15, 2009. Funes, who was the first FMLN presidential candidate not to have participated in the guerrilla warfare of the 1980s, defeated the National Republican Alliance (ARENA) candidate, Rodrigo Ávila, by a margin of 51.3%–48.7%, ending ARENA's long control (since 1989) of the Salvadoran government.
Although sympathetic to other leftist governments in the hemisphere, especially that of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil, Funes emphasized that he did not want ideological confrontation with the U.S. and that he was not a part of the more extreme left represented by Venezuelan Pres. Hugo Chávez. One of Funes's first acts upon taking office was to restore relations with Cuba. In July the Salvadoran government also announced its support for Honduran Pres. Manuel Zelaya, following his overthrow in Honduras. In domestic policy Funes began implementing dramatic improvements in education and children's health benefits, especially for the poor; he provided not only free education, but also meals and uniforms for poor public-school students. He also launched new aid programs for the elderly poor and moved against widespread corruption in the government.
The global recession exacerbated already-serious economic difficulties for the new government, with widespread unemployment and a sharp decline in exports and imports. In addition, remittances from Salvadorans in the U.S. dropped more than 10% during the first seven months of 2009. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in May lowered its credit ratings for El Salvador to BB, two levels below investment grade. Funes promised considerable economic advancement, and his social programs maintained his support. According to a CID Gallup poll, by September he enjoyed an 86% approval rating, even though poverty and underemployment stood at 40%.
Violence and crime remained a serious problem. French filmmaker Christian Poveda, whose 2008 film La Vida Loca reflected the hopeless lives of members of the Mara 18 street gang, was killed in September as he drove back from filming in La Campanera, a poor suburb of San Salvador. The Mara 18 and rival Mara Salvatrucha gangs represented part of a huge criminal network in both Central America and the U.S.

compile errors of boundary condition "expDirectionMixed"
A boundary condition named "expDirectionMixed", which is in the ~/src/finiteVolume/fields/fvPatchFields/derived/expDirectionMixed. It has not been complied during the compilation of OpenFOAM. We compile it by add the name of source file expDirectionMixedFvPatchField.Cto the "file" file, which in the folder ~/src/finiteVolume/Make. And then execute "wmake libso" to compile it .But there are some errors appear, as follow:
I wonder if it is because of the version of OpenFOAM, or other problems.
I have tried to compile it both in OpenFOAM-1.5 and OpenFOAM-1.6, but the errors appear both.
Help me, please.
Thank you everyone.
This is a legacy BC superceded by directionMixed. I have now removed it from OpenFOAM-1.6.x.
ok,I get it.
Thank you for your reply!:)

Pasquale Pontoriero's lawyers say he didn't know one of New Jersey's most notorious mobsters was going to the dinner. And as for his two visits to the home of a lesser-known reputed organized crime figure, the lawyers say their client had no idea the guy was mobbed up.
But the judge wasn't buying it. Tuesday, after a 14-month administrative hearing, the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor revoked Pontoriero's work permit under a state law barring dockworkers from associating with organized crime figures.
"I find the Respondent does not possess good character and integrity within the meaning of the Waterfront Commission Act," Administrative Law Judge Patrick McGinley wrote in an Aug. 16 ruling.
The case is a landmark of sorts in the commission's renewed effort to rid the region's docks of mob influence since it was overhauled in the wake of scathing 2009 New York State Inspector General's report. Commission officials and Pontoriero's lawyers say the case marks the first test of a state law amended to bar dockworkers even from associating with organized crime figures.
Until now, the five license revocation cases brought by the commission under the so-called association clause of the amended law ended with the accused dockworker's retirement or voluntary surrender of his license.
Pontoriero, 50, of Lyndhurst, had worked as a hiring agent for Port Newark Container Terminal, doling out $33-an-hour shifts to union longshoremen.
But last year the commission charged that he violated the association clause by attending a birthday dinner for the late Tino Fiumara, a convicted racketeer who before his death in 2010 was identified as a capo for the Genovese Crime family in New Jersey. The commission charged Pontoriero rode in a limousine with several Fiumara acquaintances, including Pontoriero's own father, from the Bloomfield office of Fiumar's lawyer to the Long Island steakhouse where the dinner was held.
The commission also charged Pontoriero twice visited the home of Steven DePiro, identified by federal and state authorities as an associate of the Genovese family.
Pontoriero's lawyers argued their client did not know Fiumara would be at the dinner, or that DePiro was tied to organized crime.
Pontoriero is represented by David Stanziale and Jon S. Deutsch, who was the commission's general counsel prior to its overhaul. In a conference call, the two said they may appeal the case in state Superior Court.

This would support the theory of lightning rods >to prevent lightning strikes. And that is what I learned years ago in a >college meteorology class. Although I was involved in lightning research in the 1970s on tracking the movement of the stepped leader by interferometric positioning of its low-VHF radio emission (published in the Journal of Geophysical Research--forget the exact issue) this note is not a "scientific" comment. Only a reiteration of observations in Colorado. It was my experience, confirmed by K0RF and W4ZV (then W0ZV) that a grounded, naked tower would act as a point discharge and tend to attract lightning. But a tower with a large number of grounded Yagi elements, such as stacked arrays, would tend to drain the charge from the area around the tower and greatly reduce the occurrence of lightning in the immediate vicinity. It is my experience that a single lightning rod at the top of the tower will have no added real effect--if the tower is "naked" it is more likely to be struck, with or without the lightning rod than if it is covered with grounded elements. And in fact, a large number of grounded elements seemed to greatly reduce or even eliminate lightning to the structure. And those little "spiky" things provide no significant improvement over static discharge than a single-pointed rod. The volume that the spikes cover is just too small to make much difference. K0RF, W4ZV, and myself all noted that electrical storms would stop striking as they approached the grounded towers (with lots of elements) and then resume striking as the cell passed by the towers. Typical experience indicated that the lightning would stop some 1/8 to 1/4 mile away and resume in an equivalent distance once the cell had passed. My CO qth was hit a number of times, power lines, phone lines, vertical antennas, naked towers, etc--but once I installed well-grounded towers with stack and grounded arrays there was never another direct strike. Five strikes during the three years I had up some short (40 ft) verticals with significant in-shack and in-home damage. Once I installed the tall towers -- 170-200 ft -- with grounded yagis I had no more strikes during the subsequent seven years. Other than one strike to a yard light on the barn that was outside the "cone of protection" provided by the towers. The barn was about 400 ft from the house and in a low area--in fact the yard light on the end was actually LOWER than ground level for the house and towers. This strike took out some AC wiring in conduit inside the metal barn. From MY personal experience and comments made by others with similar experiences I firmly believe that a naked tower, with or without a lightning rod tends to attract lightning. But that a well grounded tower with lots of grounded Yagi elements tends to reduce or virtually eliminate strikes in the immediate vicinity. YMMV! 73--John W0UN

BOSTON, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Catcher-first baseman Mike Napoli has signed a one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox, General Manager Ben Cherington announced Tuesday.
Terms of the deal weren't released but MLB.com reported it was worth $5 million with incentives that could pay him as much as $13 million.
Napoli was originally set to sign a three-year contract for $39 million with Boston in early December, but the transaction was delayed and then revised after a physical examination revealed he has a hip condition known as avascular necrosis.
Napoli belted 24 homers and drove in 56 RBI over 108 games last season for the Texas Rangers, earning his first All-Star Game selection, but managed just a .227 batting average.
The 31-year-old has compiled a .259 average with 146 homers and 380 RBI over 727 career games with the Los Angeles Angels and Texas.


text: Made the last of this tea as a cold brew. I found this tea to be a bit heavy on the hibiscus so I only brewed it for 3 hours. I find that I do not like cold brewed hibiscus. But it seems that 3 hours was still too long. The tea brewed up a beautiful dark ruby red colour. At the very beginning of the sip, I get an awesome blood orange taste, but then the bitter/sour hibiscus kicks in. I even added some white sugar as a sweetener, which did sweeten it up, but it is sweet and way too bitter at the same time. The blood orange taste kicks in again in the aftertaste. I think I will be able to choke this one down with a puckered mouth, but I will keep it as a hot tea if I ever purchase again.

How much style changes before calling a theme your own?
I have a courtesy question about themes.
I downloaded a basic clean white theme. There is nothing fancy to this theme. It looks simpler than the default theme. While I am very new to WordPress I am quite familiar with XHTML and CSS. I set up my localhost server system on my Mac using MAMP so I test my theme locally.
I have gone into the CSS and changed the code quite considerably. I have a new banner image, added a fixed background page image (for visual effect), created my own top level navigation (points to other static pages), changed the content width, changed the styles for all the posts & sidebar links, changed the footer (with graphics), changed all the margins & padding, changed all the font sizes from pixels to my own custom EM's, changed the fonts, changed roll over colors, etc, etc.
So, while some folks do a little tweaking here and there I have gone and changed just about every line of CSS. Some of these changes make for a totally different viewing experience. So, my question (finally) is do I need to still include text on my site that says "theme developed by John Smith" ?
AFAIK, most themes are developed by adding styles to the PHP and XHTML framework of the WordPress install. When modifying a theme is there a line in the sand that allows one to call the theme one's own and not recognize the beginning theme's author? This must be a gray area. I did not create the PHP and XHTML from scratch nor did I build the CSS one line at a time. But I have modified my CSS from the original CSS that the pages no longer resemble each other (although most two column WordPress sites do have features and presentation in common.) This theme will be used just be me and will not be a public release etc. It would be nice not to have to credit someone else's CSS when I have put so much work in building my own "look".
Any thoughts on the convention and etiquette here?
- The topic 'How much style changes before calling a theme your own?' is closed to new replies.

Both players were in sensational form in the semi-finals, Djokovic coasting past Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-1 and Nadal outplaying Roger Federer 6-3, 6-2.They met a fortnight ago in the Indian Wells final which Djokovic claimed 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, hitting back strongly after losing a hard-fought opening set before outplaying Nadal in the next two."I felt I had a chance last week in Indian Wells," Nadal reflected. "I lost a little bit the focus and the rhythm in the second set, the intensity of the legs and of the shots, so I started to play a little bit more defensive. Against a player like Novak, it's impossible to win the match playing like this."Djokovic is aiming to join an exalted list of players who have managed the Indian Wells-Miami double. The last man to do it was Federer who achieved the feat in 2005 and 2006.Djokovic is going for his second Miami title having first won the tournament back in 2007. He also finished runner-up two years ago, losing to Andy Murray in straight sets.

This collection was lighting up Twitter this afternoon. Adam Kimmel's Spring/Summer 2011 collection comes out blazing with a collection of SoCal inspired looks. We have also confirmed what everyone expected. Kimmel's people tell us the collection is indeed directly inspired by Snoop Dog. Hell yeah it is.
Some words of wisdom from Kimmel on the collection. "American heroes are abundant these days, but one of the most original artists of the last 30 years is Snoop Dogg. He has single handedly reshaped the English language and created a personal style that is its own animal. For my 2011 Spring Summer collection, I decided to go Doggy style. It's Compton via Italy"
Many more looks from the Adam Kimmel Spring 2011 collection after the click.

Although Billy Joel has been on a touring hiatus for the past three years, he's still earned some good press by headlining classrooms rather than stadiums. During a series of college visits, the Piano Man spoke to large groups of college students, often taking a moment to break down his songs on piano.
During one such recent college visit, Vanderbilt University freshman Michael Pollack worked up the nerve to ask if he could play a song with the piano man, himself. Without hesitation, Joel responded with an "Okay," proving that for all the fame and fortune, he's still not too much of a "Big Shot" to share the stage with an aspiring musician. Pollack played flawlessly, and Joel, clad in some dashing shades, crooned those famous lyrics before adding: "Remember that name…Guy's got chops!"
Joel is about to begin touring again with performances scheduled this spring at Jazz Fest in New Orleans and the Stone Music Festival in Australia, and this clip proves that he's a down-to-earth guy who cares about education and that he can still deliver the goods. His management team couldn't have planned it better. (Oh, and for the record: the answer to the question "will my parents ever stop playing 'Just the Way You Are?' is 'of course not!')

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Saër Sène has spent most of this season searching for firm footing.
Safe ground crumbled when he tore his left ACL last August. It has taken the French striker a bit longer than expected to find his way back to it.
Fitness and form presented the expected obstacles. Sène eased back into the New England Revolution lineup in April and then suffered a hip contusion in July.
The inevitable stops and starts along the path to health sidetracked his ability to reproduce the performances he submitted for the Revolution when he scored 11 goals last season.
- Get the latest New England Revolution news at RevolutionSoccer.net
"I think I've been working hard since I came back from my injury," Sène told MLSsoccer.com. "I think I'm getting back on my form. It's a little bit late, but the end of the season is an important part. I'm getting better and better. I am almost 100 percent. That's why."
It shows in his recent displays. Sène has registered a goal or an assist in each of his past four appearances. His production during that spell – two goals and three assists – constitutes the sort of contribution expected from a player of his caliber.
Revolution coach Jay Heaps credited Sène for pressing higher up the field and searching for the gaps required to exert his influence on the game.
"I think he's reading the game well," Heaps said. "He's playing a good, high line. He's finding good angles to get in behind. Defensively, he's putting the work in. That's what we demand of our guys. He's doing an excellent job."
Sène has also embraced the need to start in wider positions. He functions most neatly as a center forward darting behind the line, but his role in the Revolution's hybrid 4-1-4-1 setup necessitates a wider starting point. His willingness to embrace those tenets on either flank permits him to operate in more space and slice into areas where he can either provide for others or strike at goal.
"I'm trying to stay wide," Sène said. "I forget myself sometimes that I need to be away. I have to come touch the ball, go away and then make myself in the best position. I like to come in on my left foot – that's my best side – for the shot or the finish."
Either outcome would suffice for the Revs right now as they bid to secure a playoff spot. Sène said he hopes his return to form can help fire his side to the postseason.
"It's the right time," Sène said. "We have four games left. I want to try my best to go to the playoffs and help the team."

Reverse Migration Still A Force Shifting The Urban-Suburban Balance
Population trends in many major metro areas include a reversal of the traditional flow of adults from urban centers into suburban enclaves. Increasingly, these suburbs are greying demographically while thirtysomething workers and apartment dwellers prefer to stay close to the urban action.
Asking different demographers why this is happening will get you different answers. Some point to lows in tolerance for commuting, suggesting that the rise of electronic virtual workspaces have the effect of naturally avoiding the scourge of commuter traffic. Others suggest the lifestyle preferences of millennials aren't well-served by postwar conceptions of suburban life. Still others claim the allure of the city is growing in attraction as national crime rates fall.
Whatever the true reason(s) for any changes in your market, the shift in demand for work and apartment space is something you have to stay on top of. Servicing clients with the right solution means understanding and anticipating what is on their minds. When it comes to suburban-urban choices, recent selected market news on reverse suburban migration might help get a picture:
Primary Markets:
- Reverse migration from North Jersey to New York City signals a new challenge.
- Suburbs Try to Prevent an Exodus as Young Adults Move to Cities and Stay
- More Americans Moving to Cities, Reversing the Suburban Exodus
Secondary Markets:
- Has The Great Migration From The Suburbs Begun [In Atlanta]?
- Downtown resurgence giving new life to Cleveland
- Millennials are Saving St. Louis, and Why We Need More of Them

See "Getting There".
Route Description
All distances are per my GPS.
Place..................Distance (Km)...............Elevation (m)
VR Village...........Zero................................2450
Stream Jct..........4.8...................................2650
Total.....................10.8 Km
From Varengeh Rood Village (2450 m) hike a trail that soon crosses to the western/northern banks of the Varengeh Rood River. After 4.8 Km, you will reach a large grassy area where a stream joins the Varengeh Rood River from the left (north) (2650 m). This is the stream that goes in the valley between the Kharsarak and Sorkhab Peaks. You must turn left and follow the trail that goes along the banks of this stream (Beware that if you miss this stream and attempt to go up the second stream that goes between Kharsarak and Sootak the Great Peaks, you will encounter difficult rocky terrain). After 4 Km, you will reach a metal shack (3300 m) built for the wild life protection officers but often used by mountain climbers. You can spend the night in the shack or camp at a nice stream-side spot.
Hike above the shelter to the 3524 m saddle where the north slopes of Kharsarak will come into full view. Follow any path up the slopes. The last 100 or so meters will require some Class III scrambling.
Essential Gear
In summer, nothing more than good hiking boots.

A late surge wasn't quite enough for the Danville girls Tuesday at Jessieville, as the Lady Little Johns rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit before falling 50-48 Buffalo Island Central in the first round of the Class AA State Tournament.
Danville trailed 26-17 at the half and 32-20 just over two minutes into the third quarter before closing the period on a 13-6 run to trail 38-33 entering the fourth.
The Lady Mustangs stretched their lead to 49-39 midway through the fourth before a basket by Misty Bewley sparked a 9-0 run to pull the Lady Little Johns within 49-48 on a basket by Lisa Beck with just 48 seconds to play.
But the hole turned out to be a bit too deep. Buffalo Island added a free throw with 2 seconds left to set the final score.
Bewley led all scorers with 17 points. Beck had 10, Kaitlyn Weindel had nine and Caitlin Ramey added eight.
The Lady Little Johns shot a very respectable 50 percent from the field, including 4 of 10 from behind the arc.
But the Lady Mustangs shot a scorching 61.1 percent from the field, including 4 of 9 from 3-point range.
Jessica Shepard had 14 points for Buffalo Island, Ashley Tate had 13, and Nan Lee Bridges finished with 12.
Buffalo Island 54, Danville 47
Buffalo Island's Brooks Taylor scored 24 points, and teammate Hunter Smith added 14, as the Mustangs eliminated Danville from the Class AA State Tournament with a 54-47 victory Tuesday at Jessieville.
The game was tied 24-24 at halftime. Danville led 26-24 early in the third after a pair of free throws by C.J. Davis.
But Taylor scored five points in less than 2 minutes to put Buffalo Island up 29-26 with just under 6 minutes remaining in the third, and the Mustangs never trailed again.
Buffalo Island led 34-31 entering the fourth quarter and 40-33 with 5:43 to play. Danville got as close as 42-40 after a 3-pointer by Jonathon Spikes, but the Mustangs responded with a quick 4-0 spurt to take control.
Buffalo Island made just one field goal in the fourth but went 18 of 22 from the foul line in the game's final 612 minutes, hitting 8 of 8 in the final 38 seconds to secure the win.
For the game, the Mustangs were 23 of 28 from the free throw line to just 6 of 9 for Danville.
Spikes led Danville with 17 points. T.J. May had 11, and Chase Peek added eight.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: LifeinAsia
My site already offers free tutorials and check lists, but does not offer any free services like free submission to a couple of SE and link pop searches.
Is it any good to install such free services on a SEO site or is it a waste of bandwith?
Is there some clues that my site could be penalised if over submission occurs from it?
Finally, does any of you can recommend a "no strings attached" inexpensive subission script that is fast and easy to maintain?
Is it that bad? :( ?
My site clearly identify my company as a site promotion agency specialised in search service positionning. Targetted audience are Web design agencies so we never see end clients in portfolio. We clearly describe our services in the site but never mention certain ones. There is no way to sell cats without calling a cat, a cat.
Thanks for your advice. But is really the current climate that bad?
glengara, I have the same gut feeling about free auto-submit service. It seems that it devaluates the professional service.

With temperatures expected to dip into the single digits in the days ahead, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is warning pet owners to play it safe.
The group recommends that cats never be left outdoors in cold weather. Cats often seek warmth under the hoods of vehicles. So the ASPCA warns motorists to bang on the hood of their vehicle if there are stray cats in the neighborhood. This can alert the cat before you start the vehicle and prevent injury or death of the cat.
The ASPCA also warns that during snow events, dogs should remain on their leash. It can be more difficult for them to track scents and find their way home. Proper tags are also important.
If salts are being used on your steps, it is a good idea to wipe your pet's paw so that they do not consume the substance. There are some pet safe salts on the market. Antifreeze can also be deadly and pets should not be allowed to have access.
The group also reminds pet owners that very young and very old animals are especially vulnerable to the extreme cold. But if any pet is kept outside during the winter months they should have access to warm dry shelter. The animal's water source must also be monitored frequently to make certain it doesn't freeze.

Too Much Snow? Consider a Hot Date in Cancun
If you're in my part of the world, you just might be a bit snowed in right now and thinking how nice it would be to get away to somewhere warmer.
Perennial favorite Cancun has a pretty good remedy for anyone sick of the snow. Over the past few months, public and private investment has resulted in more than one billion gallons of fresh sand being added to the beaches here (as well as in nearby Cozumel and Playa del Carmen).
In keeping with the fast-approaching Valentine's Day holiday, I recently wrote an article about "Five Ways to Say 'I Love You' in Cancun" for Explore, the inflight magazine for TACA, one of Latin America's largest airlines. Even if you arrive long after the pink hearts and creamy chocolates have disappeared from the room service trays, you still might find some inspiration in that article.
In addition, I've uncovered a couple seasonal specials at two Cancun resorts where I've especially enjoyed staying:
Sun Palace: The early spring savings promotion at this attractive adults-only all-inclusive means that you'll get $20 off new bookings when you reserve three or more nights through April 27.
Me Cancun: This hip beach resort, which hosted the 22nd season of MTV's "The Real World," is offering an "adults-only month" through the end of February that includes three-for-the-price-of-two guest rates, mixology workshops, pool parties and after parties.

Prenatal Arsenic; Electric Fish; Cholera
- Prenatal arsenic exposure can alter genes
- The children of mothers whose water supplies were contaminated with arsenic during their pregnancies harbored gene expression changes that may lead to cancer and other diseases later in life, MIT researchers reported in a new study. In addition to establishing the potential harmful effects of these prenatal exposures, the study also provides a possible method for screening populations to detect signs of arsenic contamination.This is the first time evidence of such genome-wide changes resulting from prenatal exposure has ever been documented from any environmental contaminant. It suggests that even when water supplies are cleaned up and the children never experience any direct exposure to the pollutant, they may suffer lasting damage. Press Release PLoS paper
- Omnidirectional Electric Fish
- What could an African lion stalking a distant impala in the African savanna possibly have in common with an electric fish searching for nearby water fleas in the Amazon River? Both the lion and the rather less daunting 14-cm black ghost knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons) use sensory information to help them to locate and catch prey. But lions, which rely on their acute vision during the hunt, engage in passive sensing, whereas the knifefish actively senses by generating a weak electric field around its body. And while lions and most other predators both sense and move mainly in the forward direction, the knifefish can sense in all directions and swim rapidly backward and forward to intercept its prey. PLoS Biology paper
- Princeton scientists break cholera's lines of communication
- A team of Princeton scientists has discovered a key mechanism in how bacteria communicate with each other, a pivotal breakthrough that could lead to treatments for cholera and other bacterial diseases.The mechanism is a chemical that cholera bacteria use for transmitting messages to each other, known as CAI-1, and has been isolated in the lab of molecular biologist Bonnie Bassler. Her team has shown that the chemical also can be used to disrupt the communication that exists among the bacteria, potentially halting the disease's progress. The discovery could lead to an entirely new class of antibiotics."Disease-causing bacteria talk to each other with a chemical vocabulary, and now we can interfere with their talk to control infections," said Doug Higgins, a graduate student in Bassler's lab and first author of the research team's paper on the findings. "This paper specifically concerns cholera, but it provides proof in principle that we can do it with any bacteria."Press Release

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Airline pilots are seeking expanded authority to carry handguns in airports, a U.S. group said.
Pilots are allowed to have weapons in cockpits but they say it is not enough to keep aviation as safe as it can be, and they want approval to carry weapons anywhere on the plane or in an airport terminal, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Sunday.
"That would put us in line with law enforcement," said Marcus Flagg of the Federal Flight Deck Officer Association, which represents armed pilots.
He said the number of pilots trained and qualified to carry guns is just behind that of the FBI, which has 13,800 armed agents, and that the goal is better protection against a terrorist attack and stronger safeguards for U.S. commercial aviation.
As the law stands, he said, pilots cannot even visit a restroom with a holstered firearm.
Pilots can learn weapons skills in an intensive six-day training course. Flagg said armed pilots are on five times more flights than federal air marshals and are the "last line of defense" in air safety.

Thank you for sending a link to the adoption.state.gov page to the following email(s):
How to Adopt
Intercountry adoptions are governed by three sets of laws: U.S. federal law, the laws of the child's country of residence, and the laws of your U.S. state of residence.
The time it takes to adopt a child from another country and bring that child to the United States varies widely. Generally, it takes one to four years, though it can take longer. The length of time depends on a number of factors, including the country of origin's procedures, the adoption service provider's process, the U.S. immigration process, and the specific circumstances of the adoption. See our Country Information on the adoption process in over 175 countries.
Adoption service providers are to disclose all expected costs associated with your adoption before you sign an adoption services contract. This is required of providers for adoptions under the Hague Convention. This requirement will extend to all intercountry adoption service providers in July, 2014. See Working with an Adoption Service Provider for more information.
Hague Adoption Convention
The United States is part of an important treaty on intercountry adoption called the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention). The treaty governs adoptions between the United States and approximately 90 other countries. The process of adopting a child from a Convention country differs in several key ways from adopting a child from a country not party to the Convention. See Who Can be Adopted for more information about the Convention and Orphan adoption process.
Support During the Process
Adopting a child from abroad takes patience and determination. Not only is the intercountry adoption process complex, but unexpected complications may arise. Because the process can take so long, finding emotional support during this time can be helpful. You may also find it beneficial to consult with other parents or support groups about issues and concerns associated with adoption.
Here are some good places to start your support group search:
- Adoption Services Support Groups for Adopting Persons
- Child Welfare Information Gateway
- Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption
- Families with Children from China
- Guatemala Adoptive Families Network
- ICHILD (for families interested in adopting from India)
- Korean American Adoptee Adoptive Family Network
- North American Council on Adoptable Children

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Sad consequences of political ambition
THE saddest aspect of the Chris Huhne affair is the rift with his own son.
As politicians trample over any and everything in their fight to get to the top and stay there, we sometimes forget what that ruthless ambition and selfishness must do to their families. I wonder how David Mellor's children felt when his ex-mistress Antonia de Sancha surfaced again last week?

Plato's Closet gives you the biggest bang for your buck
Faren Ready-Hale, staff writer—Plato's Closet in North Little Rock had its grand opening on Oct. 5, and business has been taking off ever since. Plato's Closet is a retail store that focuses on selling the latest trends, and staying in touch with in-season fashions.
Plato's buys and sells gently used brand-name clothing and accessories. It isn't like most consignment shops. You don't have to wait for your clothes to be sold before you get paid. Plato's will buy your clothes on the spot, as long as they are in style, ready to wear and in good condition.
The store accepts clothing and accessories from popular stores such as, Aeropostale, Hollister, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, American Eagle and more.
Plato's offers trading for clothes, too. Once clothes are brought in to sell, instead of receiving cash, you can get clothes worth the amount of your old clothes.
Currently, the store is looking to stock up on winter wear such as sweaters, coats and boots, but Plato's Closet accepts clothes from all seasons at anytime of the year.
The store accepts most clothing items, excluding swimwear, evening gowns and sunglasses.
The target demographics for Plato's Closet are teens and twenty-somethings, but there are selections for older consumers as well.
Walking through the front doors, you would think you were walking into a regular store in the mall, without the regular store prices. The racks of clothes are color-coordinated and arranged by size, making shopping easier for the consumer.
Plato's Closet has a large variety of everything including jeans, shirts, shoes, scarves and accessories from brand names, like Jessica Simpson and Bebe, without paying high prices. A pair of jeans from True Religion purchased online can cost anywhere between $200 to $300, but at Plato's, they are $45.
Marsha Guest, a Plato's Closet employee, said she enjoys it. She originally worked at Plato's Closet in Wichita, Kan., where she learned all about the business.
"I'm addicted to it now. It's like in my blood," Guest said. "This job allows me to keep up with the latest trends."
Guest said she feels that Plato's should be located around college students.
"I think there should be a Plato's close to college students because selling clothes would be a good way for students to get extra money."
Crystal Ojukwu, senior psychology major, has never been to Plato's Closet but once she found out about the store, she thought it was a good way to earn some money.
"I think great. It's a good way to clean out your closet and get some money for your old clothes," Ojukwu said. "This store would be great for college students."
Plato's Closet is located in the Lakewood Village Shopping Center at 2621 Lakewood Village Drive in North Little Rock. For more information on Plato's Closet, visit the website www.platoscloset.com.

UN award for fair trade coffee company
Mountain Partnership member Dean's Beans Organic Coffee has received a United Nations award for empowering coffee-growers, primarily women, to improve their lives and their children's futures.
The American fair trade company and founder and CEO Dean Cycon were recognized with a Women's Empowerment Principles Leadership Award in Community Engagement for a record of innovative social and market-based approaches to realizing gender equity in coffee-growing regions.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women, presided over a ceremony for the award winners in New York on 6 March attended by 250 business leaders and representatives from civil society, governments and the UN.
"Strong source communities are vital to our business, and women are the foundations of those communities," Cynon said in his acceptance speech.
Women's Empowerment Principles is a partnership of UN Women and the UN Global Compact which provides a roadmap for business to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community.
Dean's Beans was created 20 years ago to model how business could be a force for positive social change in coffee growing communities and still be profitable. The company works in 12 countries importing fair trade organic coffee and cocoa and has a profit sharing program with all employees and all farmer cooperatives it works with.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government and private officials crowded onto a podium Monday to warn computer users about the spread of the ''Code Red'' worm before it threatens the well-being of the Internet.
They said the worm, which has infected hundreds of thousands of computers running Microsoft's Internet server software, is a worldwide danger. They called on computer users to secure their systems by downloading a software fix.
Ron Dick, head of the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center, lamented that too many computer users think of their systems as dumb appliances, not recognizing that a computer needs ''to be constantly monitored and maintained. It functions like a living organism.''
Officials worry that newly discovered versions of the worm can be reprogrammed to launch crippling attacks on any site.
The FBI is working with Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia to fight the worm's spread. FBI legal attaches stationed overseas have sent the word to 46 other countries. Investigators don't yet know who wrote Code Red or where it started.
The worm is set to spread again this evening. Officials said the quick spread could bring sporadic but widespread Internet slowdowns and variants of the worm could do more extensive damage.
Unlike a virus, which needs a person to help it spread, a worm infects other computers on its own.
Web site administrators running Microsoft Windows NT and 2000 operating systems, along with the Internet Information Services software, should download Microsoft's patch from the company's Web site. Home users running Windows 95, 98 or Me are not vulnerable.
''We should consider it a civic duty to ensure that if you are running IIS software, you have patched it,'' Dick said.

Stuff We Talked About: What Her V-Day Gift Means
WHAT HER VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT MEANS: More than any other holiday, what a woman gives her man on Valentine's Day can become the source of endless speculation on their true feelings and intentions. So God Bless the fellas at AskMen.com for decoded the meaning behind some of the most common gifts for men …
Grooming Products. A nice shaving set shows that she wants you to keep up your appearance, probably so she can show you off to all her friends.
Cologne. She's just trying to make sure you smell amazing whenever the two of you are together.
Electronics. An electronic item like a new smartphone or iPad shows that she's really into you, and wants to stay connected whether it's over email, text, or phone calls.
Intimate Bedroom Gifts. Adult-themed bedroom games and edible novelties show she's totally willing to get wild between the sheets.
A Classy Watch. A nice watch is a BIG DEAL. Since you're probably going to wear it every day, it's going to be a constant reminder of her. This chick is seriously into you.

Kathy Bassett: More Browns Park adventures
December 9, 2009
The winters in Browns Park are normally pretty mild.
Well, of course, there were some exceptional years, like 1949 just before Christmas when it began to snow and snowed so deep that the plows formed tunnels that were way higher than the vehicles.
And a county man told me about one where it got so deep he couldn't get his plow through the snow. But, those years are few and far between, so most of the time Browns Park stays pretty decent.
Well, except for the wind and cold. It isn't exaggerating to say that it gets so cold the chickens run to town and ask KFC if they can use the deep fat fryer.
When Mother Nature does decide to get a little ornery, she "lets 'er rip!" Whoooeeeee!
I remember one such winter.
Recommended Stories For You
It was a Saturday in the late 1970s. It was opening morning of goose season. The sun suddenly disappeared, and within a couple hours, here came big ol' flakes.
The snow just got deeper and deeper.
Frank finally decided that maybe he should go fire up the motor grader and get busy out there on the highway. Pretty soon, he came back to the house with some folks that had gotten stuck and were half-frozen.
I quickly fixed up hot coffee, for which they were grateful. While we sat there visiting, Frank brought in another load of people who'd gone off in a ditch. Everyone was so amazed that when they'd left their homes to come "goose-hunting" it had been beautiful weather!
Within a couple of hours, the house was filling up with people who just couldn't get their vehicles to stay on the highway or just couldn't go any further, so they pulled into our place.
We didn't think anything about taking in what others would consider strangers — everyone was visiting and having a great time after getting warmed up. Several of the ladies and I got busy and started cooking up food. We made cakes, pies, cookies, chicken and dumplings, and just whatever came to mind. We fixed and it got eaten.
A semi load of cattle being driven up toward the Utah line didn't make it and jackknifed in the middle of the highway.
Talk about a fiasco.
Frank managed to get the semi straightened around, and guys on horses tried their best to round up the cattle to reload. What with the cold wind blowing snow every which-a-way, they were pretty miserable.
Well, for one thing, you couldn't see past the nose on your face. I think their lips were frozen, and they couldn't laugh when Frank asked them if the cows were going to threaten a milk strike if they didn't get thermal bras for their udders.
Finally getting done, one cowboy tried to get off his horse and couldn't even do that. They had to cut his chaps to get him off the horse. Poor guy said he didn't ever remember being that cold.
The next couple of visitors were the strangest.
Two drunks.
They were pulling a camper trailer and low and behold, it slid off in a ditch.
They insisted that Frank pull them out because they were not going to leave their camper there. He got it pulled back up on the road, but then they wanted him to pull it down to our house where it would be safe.
Well, that being accomplished and taking a long time, it was fruitless trying to keep the highway cleared, and with no more tourists, goose hunters, drunks or cowboys to be seen anywhere, Frank came home. We ended up with 21 people there.
The kids entertained them and we piled blankets, sleeping bags, pillows and whatever we could find, and everyone slept on the floor. Everyone's tummy was full. It was warm and dry and I might add, and very cozy in a small house.
Thank goodness everyone had a pretty good sense of humor.
Oh, yeah, the two drunks insisted on sleeping in their trailer, so that was helpful.
They were so pie-eyed that they were goofy, didn't want anything to eat and went straight out to bed after Frank got their furnace going for them.
Sometime during the night, the snow stopped.
The next morning, everyone arose and helped with a big pancake breakfast, and Frank went back to work clearing the highway and finding vehicles that the owners drove back to the house.
By mid-afternoon, almost everyone had left, and the house was strangely quiet. The two drunks still were sleeping it off, so they stayed another night but left early the next morning — without their trailer.
They said they'd come back when the snow melted. So their camper sat in our yard for several days.
It's been awhile. We could be due for another Mother Nature adventure soon.

Works flawless here, read the thread carefully. Anyway doesn't make sense to use it on our "tiny" screen, much better on large screens
P.S: Almost forgot, of course you need to be rooted to install xposed framework & the modules Otherwise no "sugar" for you

Aint-it-Cool-News.com has gotten their geeky hands on 3 minutes of Sylvester Stallone's "John Rambo", and by that I mean Stallone sent them the clip to drum up fanboy support. And hey, it should work. Watch John Rambo spurn the advances of Julie Benz; watch John Rambo cut a man's guts out; watch John Rambo machinegun a poor bastard into little bits and pieces; then watch John Rambo sneak up behind a man and chop his head off with a knife. No, really, all those things actually happens in this clip. Yup, it's basically John Rambo going all "Saving Private Ryan" on some Burmese military scum. I'm sure most of these footage won't make it into the final trailer, which should look something like this, minus, you know, all the blood and (literally) guts. Good stuff!
The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.

It's A Grind in Castaic, CA
Elsworth rated this place and said
The service and tea here is wonderful. Coffee is available, and while normal brews are high quality, specialty drinks leave something to be desired. Expect a relaxing atmosphere, quiet coffeehouse music, a bookshelf and wonderful seating. Wifi is free (with purchase of a drink), and outlets are moderately plentiful.
