IMO even if it is just tape (which is retarded by the way) it's a used board that is at least 2 years old. I don't think it's worth $200. You can find a better deal and board dude

i got exactly the same board, it is 07/08 season and it is custom, 200$ is expensive for just a used board. You can get the same only brand new if you throw a little more. But again ask the guy how much he used it and check its conditions. Maybe it is not that bad.
For some reason those boards are not dropping to much in price with years. Just google for the prices and compair brand new conditions with this board and decide. |

Wait till the end of March/April for end of season sales. sierrasnowboard.com usually have their boards at 50% off. Now is not the best time to buy as last seasons stuff is pretty much all gone from most retailers. Also check brociety.com for daily deals.

Resting energy expenditure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (April 2010) |
Resting energy expenditure, abbreviated as REE, is the amount of energy, usually expressed in kcal (food calories), required for a 24-hour period by the body during resting conditions.[1] It is closely related to, but not identical to, basal metabolic rate.

The Mini-Nuke was a powerful Megacorp-produced grenade launcher that released a miniature nuclear bomb when fired. The nuclear bomb created a miniature mushroom cloud when the bomb touched the surface of an object, causing heavy damage to any enemies nearby. The Mini-Nuke was the upgraded version of the Gravity Bomb.
The Mini-Nuke can be upgraded further to the Mega Mini-Nuke, all the way to the Ultra Mini-Nuke.
The Mini-Nuke is very useful in the first parts of the game, destroying nearly everything with just one shot. In the later parts of the game, where enemies are a lot stronger, the gun is usually replaced with more devastating weapons such as the Heavy Bouncer or the Megarocket Cannon. However, in Challenge Mode, if the Mini-Nuke is upgraded fully to the Ultra Mini-Nuke, it remains effective all through the game, able to wipe out most enemies with one shot.
Up Your Arsenal multiplayer
The Mini-Nuke is available in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal multiplayer as an upgrade for the Gravity Bomb.

The farthest left route on the wall. Start under a small roof. Look for a pin on the left after the third bolt. |
By YDPL8S From: Santa Monica, Ca. Feb 27, 2009 |
I'm assuming this is not the bolted line described on the Angel Dust page, but further left of that. Pics? |
By mtoensing From: Boulder Sep 11, 2010 |
This route isn't listed in Gunny Rock (at least I don' think it is), but it is harder than 11a. It is bolted weirdly. The 6th or 7th bolt would be impossible to reach from the stance below the bolt if you are shorter than 5'10", and you would have to make a tricky clip. Such a great route, luckily it is just less than vertical, otherwise this sucker would be so hard. Have fun, Matt. |
By seth c Nov 5, 2010 |
With the right beta, this route is no harder than 5.11. You will need a little bit of a go for it attitude to get up this route, but good holds do come, and the bolts all clip from good holds even if you are shorter than 5'10". |

docvette (Thomas Dallas Burke) has passed away.
I received the following email from his brother, and also spoke with the coroner's office in Contra Costa County, CA, where doc lived. (reprinted with permission) Quote:
One of the ways to tell that someone has impacted an online community is by seeing how many people start discussions just to personally thank that person. Docvette was no exception -- here are a few examples: Thanks to Docvette, I just wanted to tip my hat in gratitude to Docvette, It is people like you that make a big difference. His presence will be missed. Doc's collected posts could fill an encyclopedia -- as such, he has left quite a legacy. Like his brother mentioned, his knowledge "shall live on". We'll also be setting up an online docvette memorial on a designated webpage. It will include some basic info on docvette, a collection of his best posts, links to the wiki articles to which he contributed, some final member "thank-yous", and some details on doc's presence on other online communities. If you have any thoughts or memories of docvette, or you want to highlight a particularly good docvette post, please post in this thread and it will be added to the memorial.

Doc was a very strong man, his ability to keep helping the folks here while battling cancer showed that. The amount of willpower he must have had was tremendous. He fought with it for 15 years. I knew some of the details that he shared with me, , he wasn't trying to hide the fact that he had cancer, he never wanted to talk of it on the board because he felt the board should be a happy place.
Where ever Doc posted, it was a happy place. His sense of humor, his selfless attitude and focus on others problems are what made him so well liked. He was freekin smart as well. They say a man never dies who is remembered by his friends. I'll remember him. Later, mikey A docvette thank you post I didn't see that Jon already put that one up. One thread where he helped me regain domestic harmony And if you got on Doc's bad side, you were in trouble too...He made me laugh like hell when he opened up a can of Doc style whupass on this thread....
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular.. BE different....ACT normal. No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example Last edited by powerrodsmike; 09-15-2007 at 03:19 PM. Reason: link repair |
That is unfortunate. I always enjoyed reading his posts. They were informative and usually very candid.
Wow! I don't remember him saying he was Sick. I know I did not see a post in sometime just though he was working on a project this summer. But if its you time to go summer is the best time to pass to me. Green tree's the smell of cut grass and flower on the breeze, setting out side enjoying the nice weather and working on the old project just does not get much better than that.
My heart goes out to the family member for you lose. Craig |
Wow that sucks. Doc helped me several times with electrical problems I was having.Smart guy and you allways knew you could trust his advice.
I'm very sorry to here this. |
His wealth of knowledge really helped me out many times. He posted back to a few of my threads and even promptly answered quite a few private messages. I never knew what he was going through and now knowing makes it more special that he took out of his time to do what he did FOR ME!! (somebody he doesn't even know). I will miss that, and always remember who helped me rig up an alternator and safety switches. It was the Doc.
He will be missed by me, for certain
A sense of humor that not many have, with electrical knowledge reserved for the Gods. He was ill when I posted about my father's death, and apologized for not posting in that thread, both by PM, and later while working on another's issue. I have noticed he had not been posting regularly, and was somewhat cooncerned about his welfare. Since I have been here, there have only been a couple of times that he had not posted daily. He would even post from a hospital bed occaisionally. Rest In Peace "Doc" We will all miss you. Bryan |
Doc was everybodys friend.....He could explain complex circuitry in a simple to understand way. He could always come up with a wireing diagram for whatever you were working on. I always read all of his posts and learned a lot about automotive electrical from doing so. I have also seen Doc do a pretty good job of arse chewing when someone needed it.......you have to really be good at it to have people thank you for it, Lol. I have seen him eloquently resolve many automotive problems as well as personal conflicts etc. on this site. He was amazing! He was...DocVette... and I am glad that I can call him friend. Rest in peace brother you are missed.
Here's to ya Doc, keep chasin that line down the highway of forever!
Doc was one of my favorite guys to read.
It was only about three weeks ago that he was having so much fun bashing Lucas electrical components. It's highly commendable that he managed to retain his keen wit despite failing health. We're going to miss him |
I never made a thread or post needing his help, but just about everytime I did a search, a thread would come up where he chimed in with great, on target advice. The man gave VERY detailed explanations and advice. He posted a wiring diagram that I saved for when I get to where I need it.
I'll miss him. He's one of those people that enters your life through the internet and you can honestly say you'd really love to have had the pleasure of meeting him in person. A rare person indeed. God must have had a short in something. |
I loved reading Doc's stuff, he was truly a wiring wizard
I know like many of you Doc seemed like a long time friend. He will be missed by many & those who have yet to come into this site will still be amazed by the info this man has gather & shared over the 3 short years he was here. My thoughts & prayers goes out to his family & friends. The man upstairs got himself one heck of a wiring guy & I'm sure he's looking down on all of us smiling from ear to ear knowing that we all considered him a great friend.. Here's to you Doc thanks for being here when we needed you....joe |
Any time I followed an electrical thread that needed additional information or clarification, I'd anxiously await "Doc here ". His advice was always sound and a great help to many including myself. The board will be a lesser place without him. My prayers go out his family and loved ones. mudlust.

I am hoping that someone can help me with this weird problem . . .
I had an iBook for a couple of years, and despite bringing in for repairs several times, no one could fix the following problem: sometimes (not always, but often) when I type certain lettters (As, S, Es mostly) I get two instead of one, and end up with 'aand' and 'heelo' and that sort of thing. No one at Apple could ever figure out the problem, and so I just learned to live with it. Anyway, I just got a G4 PowerBook and it has been really great, but lo and behold, two weeks after purchasing it, I have the SAME problem with the PowerBook!?! I did transfer some data/documents from my old iBook to the new PowerBook, so I am guessing it must be some kind of bug inside one of the documents? Or maybe a bug picked up from a web site or something? Is that possible? Has anyone else had this problem and/or does anyone know how/if I can fix it? (sorry for the long post) Michael |

On Jan. 8, 2012, South Africa's beloved African National Congress will commemorate its 100-year anniversary, celebrating its accomplishments toward breaking the chains of racial segregation and oppression of Black South Africans by the white-ruled Apartheid government and bringing racial harmony to the people. Many African-American activists and politicians in America spoke out against apartheid rule, some even meeting with Nelson Mandela, the ANC leader who was jailed for 27 years for his participation in the struggle for freedom and would later become South Africa's first Black president in 1994. Artists such as Herbie Hancock, Kool DJ Herc and Miles Davis even lent their talents to the Artists United Against Apartheid's Sun City album, a collection of protest songs. Here is a rundown of other prominent African-Americans who fought for racial equality in South Africa.—Britt Middleton

Chicago Public Library Increases Internet Access Through its Innovative "Hotspot at Home" Program; lending service will include laptops and digital skills training.
Via its network of 80 branches, Chicago Public Library (CPL) is the city's largest provider of free Internet access. CPL supports digital literacy and skill development by providing in-library experts, CyberNavigators, who help Chicagoans through 98,000 Internet basics sessions per year, focusing on tasks like creating an email account or completing job applications or finding credible health information. Recent studies have shown that, although outreach and training are partially effective in improving Internet use in low-income communities, the lack of access in the home remains a significant barrier. CPL proposes to attack this problem by providing FREE LOANED HOTSPOTS, along with loaned laptops, and enhanced, targeted skills training.
Who are the users or target customers of your project, and what have you learned from them so far? Please give specific examples.
Chicago Public Library is actively engaged in trying to increase the number of digitally connected and technologically savvy Chicagoans with a special focus on those with low digital literacy and access. CPL already serves these customers through free public computers, free Wi-Fi, and free digital skills coaching. These services are available throughout the Library's network of 80 community libraries. Evidence suggests that these individuals will become more adept Internet users only after practicing digital skills and exploring career websites, health information, social media sites and other Internet basics on their own time. The pilot will take place in 6 neighborhoods in Chicago that have a broadband adoption rate in the house of 50% or less. This "Hotspot at Home" initiative will allow CPL to test this idea, and then refine it through several iterations. As a 2014 winner of the Institute of Museum and Library Services' National Medal, Chicago Public Library is committed to spurring innovation and patron-centered services throughout its branches; this project represents a great opportunity to meet changing patron needs.
2. What assumptions are you making in what you propose, and how will you test them?
We are assuming that many people who do not use the Internet on a regular basis are missing opportunities to participate as fully in civic and economic life as they otherwise might.
We are assuming that the "Hotspot at Home" program will eliminate significant barriers – cost, equipment, and knowledge – for these individuals to begin engaging online. The program will allow people to "test drive" the Internet in their own space, and on their own terms.
We are assuming that these individuals will begin to see the power and relevance of the Internet to their own needs and interests, and that they will become less intimidated and more willing to explore opportunities for deeper, more sustained engagement.
We are assuming that in order to increase rates of in-home Internet usage, we will need to provide both the technology and the ongoing individual support, to increase the users' skills and comfort with technology.
We will test these assumptions by asking users to answer brief surveys, either online or in person, both before and after their experience with having this service in their homes. Their candid responses and perspectives will deepen our understanding and allow us to make improvements to the pilot.
3. How will you get your project in front of the necessary people or organizations?
Chicago Public Library is already a key and strategic partner, along with Smart Chicago Collaborative, World Business Chicago, the Chicago Department of Innovation and Technology, Chicago LISC and others, in a citywide effort to achieve greater digital engagement, as outlined in the Chicago Tech Plan. We believe these partnerships will allow CPL to ensure the widest possible outreach, engagement and dissemination of this project.
CPL's participation in this robust partnership will also insure that we have the right expertise to help analyze the results. Our citywide partners will bring their neighborhood-level knowledge data sets and broad experience to help CPL identify failures or successes quickly. Most importantly, his group has the resources and expertise to help CPL scale this work quickly, once we have a grasp of best practices. We also have a strong public platform as a 2014 winner of the National Medal for Library Service from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
4. What are the obstacles to implementing your idea, and how will you address them?
We will need to test various different approaches for distribution, individual support while identifying the right provider(s) and data plans for the partnership. Clearly, we will also need a plan for addressing issues of damage, loss and theft. Fortunately, our experience with other tech lending initiatives will help us surmount these challenges.
While this approach has not been implemented within the United States, libraries outside the US are now testing similar services in their communities. CPL is very active in the larger Global Library community. This includes hosting an international conference this summer (attended by library representatives from 40 countries) on emerging library service models. This global network will be invaluable as we experiment with this lending model. If funded, we will bring in our broader network from within and outside the US to both inform our approach and then share what we learn.
5. How much do you think your project will cost, and what are the major expenses?
We estimate costs to operate the project at six branches for one year to be approximately $165,000. This includes: 30 hotspots per branch, and ten laptops and/or tablets per branch. This budget also include enhanced and targeted digital skills classes and coaching by CyberNavigators, and some project management support. The biggest variable at this point is the potential participation of Internet
service providers, equipment manufacturers, or other tech companies; if CPL was able to engage one or more of these sectors as partners, up-front and operational costs could be significantly lower.
6. How will you measure the near-term indicators of success?
As noted above, the project's short-term success indicators will be based on responses to user surveys, both before and after their experience of the service. The surveys will help assess participants in the following areas:
1) increased comfort with engaging online; 2) increased interest in engaging online; 3) increased intention or plans to acquire at home or smart-phone based Internet access; 4) perceived increase in access to information 5) perceived increase in opportunities to search for employment, and 6) increase in digital skills and 8) greater understanding of how in home broadband access increases economic, civic and educational engagement.
Like many American cities, Chicago is moving energetically to establish itself as a hub of the 21st century's knowledge economy as outlined in the City's recently released Tech Plan, in which the Library plays a prominent role. The success of this effort hinges in large part on robust, widespread access to information and opportunities to engage with the economic and civic life of the city, in all its forms. A 2011 study revealed that in-home broadband use in many of Chicago's lowest-income neighborhoods barely hits the 50 percent mark, and in a subset of the lowest income areas, is significantly lower. CPL is committed to increasing the number of digitally-connected, information literate and engaged children and adults in Chicago.
CPL will create a Wi-Fi hotspot lending program pilot at library branches in neighborhoods with low in-home broadband use, encouraging residents in these communities to borrow Wi-Fi hotspots for up to three weeks at a time. To help community members build their digital skills, CPL will also provide one-on-one digital literacy and skills coaching along with access to effective online tutorials. This training will be provided by the library's current digital training corps, called CyberNavigators, and with the assistance of outside organizations as training partners.
For community members who lack both broadband access and a computer at home, CPL will launch a pilot computer-lending program, in which specially-tagged and outfitted laptops would be loaned in combination with the hotspots.
Library patrons who are able to visit their local branch take full advantage of its free, high-speed internet services, but many residents, due to work schedules, family responsibilities or other personal circumstances, are unable to use the Internet access at the library during regular hours of operation. CPL hopes to tackle this challenge and in the process increase in-home Internet access and adoption for underserved communities. It is our belief that the users who borrow hotspots will increase their usage of the Internet over time and be more likely to later purchase a service for their home than those that only use the service in the library. The convenience factor of having Wi-Fi and a laptop in the home will also increase their digital literacy because users will be able to use the technology often enough to build proficiency.
If successful, this pilot program could be expanded to include more Library branches, more intensive training, and longer-term hardware and software lending arrangements. The popularity of CPL's CyberNavigator program is strong evidence that Internet access, and the development of the digital skills necessary to take fuller advantage of that access, remain a critical role for the Library to play in supporting the city's civic and economic vitality.
CPL has recently been honored as the inaugural Social Innovator Award winner by the Chicago Innovation Awards and recognized by German university study as the top urban library system in the US. CPL is a finalist for the IMLS National Medal for Libraries in 2014. The library team will build this pilot into its Library Innovation process, which means it will use a Human Centered Design approach to build out the program, test its viability and measure the program's success.
In ONE sentence, tell us about your project to strengthen the Internet for free expression and innovation.
The Chicago Public Library's "Hotspots at Home" program strengthens the Internet by allowing thousands of families access to in-home internet use, thereby deepening their opportunities for educational, economic and civic engagement and, in turn, enriching online communities through these families' inclusion.
Who will benefit from what you propose? What have you observed that makes you think that?
CPL patrons who reside in low-income communities with low percentages of in-home broadband access will benefit most directly from this pilot project. Children might use the in-home access to engage with CPL's online homework helpers from home, and their parents might use the access to apply for employment, for benefits or to research election information. Chicagoans in general will benefit, as the city's overall level of digital skills is improved. The evidence for these claims is affirmed every time a CPL patron creates an online resume and applies for a job, locates important health information, or accesses needed guidance about eligibility for SNAP or other support programs.
What progress have you made so far?
The City of Chicago's Tech Plan laid the groundwork for the Library to test this new approach to increasing digital access, establishing CPL along with Smart Chicago Collaborative and LISC at the center of the City's strategy to vastly improve digital inclusion outcomes. CPL has conducted research and begun exploratory conversations with providers of broadband and hotspot technology and services. In addition, CPL's deep experience with providing digital skills training through its CyberNavigators will help determine the optimal mix of training options to be provided as part of this program.
What would be a successful outcome for your idea or project?
The immediate and near-term indicators of success would reflect 1) a patron's diminished anxiety and increasing comfort with digital technology and 2) his or her willingness and ability to use the technology across a broader range of goals, from checking a child's school records to applying for jobs online. The longer-term goal would be the patron's valuing his/her in-home broadband experience so deeply that s/he took steps to acquire that access for him/herself, via a low-cost option like Comcast's Internet Essentials.
Who is on your team, and what are their relevant experiences or skills?

Great idea!
More needs to be done to insure that broadband internet access is made available to more of our city's underserved residents.
I'm glad to see the the CPL is looking to lead the way for Chicago.
I understand that there is a hotspot lending program in Forest Park already.

Hi Catherine - Great proposal! I have a few questions:
- How much do you anticipate the running of this program will cost on an annual basis, and which provider do you anticipate using?
- How many hotspots do you plan to make available overall, and, to Kyle's point, do you have plans to collaborate with other libraries in the public library system to spread this type of access?
Thanks so much!
Catherine Brown

Thanks, Emi. Since this will be a very new kind of service, we want to test it in 6 locations before deciding if and how to roll it out more broadly. We'll use an iterative design approach at each site, so there may be variation in the number of hot spots at each location. We anticipate demand will be high overall, so our idea, as it stands today, is to start with 150-200 hotspots.
This would cost about $150k annually, which covers devices, including laptops, annual service plans and additional Cybernavigator digital coaching time at these locations for one year. These costs could go down significantly if we can get a provider to contribute devices, services or both. We don't yet know which provider we would use.
These six pilot sites will help us decide if and how to make this service available throughout the rest of the 80-branch system in Chicago. We know libraries in other cities are also exploring this idea, and we're committed to collaborating with them to develop, refine and learn from this pilot. The CPL team is actively engaged in exchanging information about recent service innovations, like the Maker Lab (
/), by hosting and participating in national and international library convenings.

Ok... but what about those individuals that access the internet on mobile devices, are they being factored into this equation?
With recent and current trends showing the majority of internet use is mobile device based, would a home based legacy wifi initiative be effective?
The Public Library Infrastructure as a whole may be best served as a federated network instead of individual initiatives that don't leverage the effective reach of The Public Library System as an Institution.
As a reference, I'll point to a study that averages 77 million people 14 and older access the internet through public libraries yearly, in the United States alone:

I'd imagine many people would make us of these hotspots on their smartphones rather than laptop. People on low incomes who have to choose cheaper cellphone tariffs rely on free wifi to get the most from their phone and get online. In fact, assuming these hotspots have the usual range of 100 feet or so, several neighboring families could get together and share the hotspot - probably using mobile devices more than laptops.

Kyle, Ben is exactly right. We're looking at hot spots that can support up to 8 devices at a time, so one hot spot could enable several family or community members to work on laptops and mobile devices simultaneously.
Veronica Medina
March 21, 2014, 13:08PM
This is a fantastic idea to have hot spots available to "check-out" so families, especially school age kids, can take them home and even use borrowed laptops to do their homework. Genius.

Thanks, Veronica! We think this concept can increase both broadband access and digital skill development in neighborhoods where in-home access rates are very low.

when asked about who Miami would probably take if they keep the first pick and don't go with Dorsey, he said that he figured they would go with Chris Long.
Just thought I should share.

Just thought I should share.
No mercy for posters who are:
-completely one-sided
-incapable of adjusting & reforming their original opinions on a player/coach
-incapable of complimenting a player/coach they don't like or criticizing a player/coach they do like
-believe that what they think they see is beyond reproach
-incapable of exchanging opposing thoughts & ideas to arrive at a new & more refined point of view
You know who you are...
I'm not Mel Kiper but I think we're going to take Chris Long as well.
That seems pretty accurate to me at this point. I like Dorsey if the draft were today.
But, I feel strongly that they would go Chris Long if they didn't go with Dorsey.
The dark horse third guy is Matt Ryan. Keep an eye on him. Nobody else is worthy. Its a three horse race. Right now I like Dorsey by a solid margin.
I agree too which is evident in my sig.
2015 Miami Dolphins Mock Draft
1. WR: Devante Parker -Louisville
2. ILB: Denzel Perryman-The U
4. CB: Steven Nelson-Oregon State
5. RB: David Cobb-Minnesota
5. DT: Marcus Hardison - Arizona State
6. C/G: Chad Hamilton - Coastal Carolina
FA signings: DT Ndamukong Suh, TE Cameron Jordan, WR Kenny Stills
FA Wish List: OG Justin Blalock or OG Dan Connelly, Stevan Ridley
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
i dont know, but it seems to me that it looks more and more that Matt Ryan will be the pick at #1. Ireland just keeps making mention of him too much on top of the fact that he stated that QB and NT are his main priorities this draft on NFL network.
now do they feel "that" good about Flacco at #32 to pass up Matt Ryan? Hmm. Not sure. We'll see.
I dont know... do we help the OL who was excelling the first half of the season, regressed, then did a little better to end the season, or do we help the DL who was last in the league against the run for the whole year?
I think the need is at DL, but the more i hear of this injured back by Dorsey the more I stray from him. An injured back for a lineman is a huge injury becaus eof all the leverage and pushing thats can put alot of strain on the back. An ijured back was what forced Bowens to retire, I wanna say Chester too but I cant remember if it was his back or something else. (I know these were older players, but Dorsey already coming into the league with a back issue isnt good IMO)
At this point in our off season, predicting who we're going to take is about as accurate as predicing if its going to rain in Miami on draft day. Pointless.
I'd rather have Dorsey. If he is as versitile as Boomer says he is, then he has to be accounted for on every snap, every down. To me that's the same as drafting an offensive skill player.
Enjoy your burrito.

PARIS - A late try by Oyonnax's Jonathan Bousquet gave his side a losing bonus point that kept them in French Top 14 rugby and sent Perpignan down for the first time in 103 years.
With Bayonne winning comfortably 23-13 against champions Castres it came down to a straight fight between Perpignan and Oyonnax for survival.
The Catalans led several times and came close to ending Clermont's four-year winning run at home, which now extends to 75 matches, before succumbing 25-22.
That bonus point defeat would still have been enough to keep the 2009 champions in the Top 14.
But Oyonnax came back from 19-3 down at Brive, who had nothing left to play for, to score tries from Guillaume Bousses in the 66th minute and then Bousquet eight minutes from time to lose only 19-17 and secure themselves a bonus point.
Seven-time champions Perpignan had never before been relegated from the top flight in the professional era and had not gone down since 1911.

I'm having problems creating a test X509Certificate in my store that I can use in WCF. All of the certificates I create have the same result when I try to use it in the WCF channel factory - "The private key is not present in the X.509 certificate".
channelFactory.Credentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.CurrentUser, StoreName.TrustedPeople, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, "MyClientCert");
I've tried putting the certificate in LocalMachine, having it self-signed vs. a test CA. Nothing helps, the certificate always has the property HasPrivateKey equal to false.
UPDATES: I've gotten past the above problem, by following the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650751.aspx. However, I'm onto a new problem with the certificate now generating a new error when I try to send the message to the queue. The error is:
An error occurred while sending to the queue: A cryptographic function failed. (-1072824272, 0xc00e0030).Ensure that MSMQ is installed and running. If you are sending to a local queue, ensure the queue exists with the required access mode and authorization.
Again, the process works if I use a real cert instead of a test one, so it seems like it has to be something related to the certificate.

After returning to our dorms at Beijing Normal High School, at around 10:30 pm, we all crashed hard. Tomorrow we have a long day ahead of us again. When quick comment, "Is daddy in jail?" My daughter asked this when seeing pictures of me inside or dorm rooms here. :)
I apologize for the lack of pictures lately. I will do my best to upload some.

All of the kids had a great experience and many kids came back with food and gifts. We met back at the hotel and waited an hour and a half for our bus to return to the hotel. Our luggage was below the bus so we had to wait in the lobby. However, this gave our kids more time to visit with their Chinese partners and I would say that these exchanges are the true meaning of why we come on this ...

It would be like being served a steak and potato dinner and only eating the rolls. Usually the rice will be served after the soup and at the beginning of a meal. Note: One ...
