Chinese Jade and Stone Carvings
The term 'Jade' and its Chinese name yu, are often used to designate many different stones and glossy materials. While the name Jade in the west is mostly limited to refer to the minerals jadeite and nephrite, the Chinese Jade (Yu) is a wide concept covering almost any finely worked ancient mineral artifact. The materials that occur are ranging from relatively hard minerals such as agate and crystal and all the way to marble and soapstone. Despite the confusion it could be argued that the proper definition of Chinese Jade should reflect the use the word 'Yu' have in the Chinese culture.
The two most typical 'Jade' minerals are Nephrite, which is a silicate of calcium and magnesium. That has been worked in China since the Neolithic period when it was brought in from Central Asia. Jadeite on the other hand, is a silicate of sodium and aluminum with a different crystal structure. It is slightly harder than nephrite. Jadeite do not seems to have been much used before the Qing dynasty when it by the end of the 18th century was brought in from Upper Burma.
While both nephrite and jadeite are found in a range of different colors, depending the presence of small quantities of iron, chromium or magnesium, the brilliant green stones used in fine Chinese jewelry are jadeite.
Most of the small colorful and glossy stone figures we find today are traditional dress ornaments and good luck symbols from the 18th century and later. Due to its hardness it was considered good protection to carry a pieces of Jade on your body, since that would take the blow if someone tried to hurt you. If the Jade was worked into the shape of a turtle, with its hard shell, that would offer even better protection. Modern souvenir trinkets abounds, made in all kinds of materials, inclusive of glass, so some care is recommended studying the workmanship which tells what is good or not. Kindly see our glossary for more information on the Chinese concept of Jade (Yu).

Server time
Server time is simply the time to which the server's internal clock is set. This may or may not match the time in a given player's timezone.
Server time is important for day/night cycles, which impact such things as fishing, and the inhabitants of Pyrewood Village. It is also important for scheduling some events such as the Gurubashi Arena.
Note: Some newer servers may not have their server time set to match their stated timezone. The assumption is that Blizzard will fix this in due time.

Legend of the Dream Catcher
According to legend, Native Americans wove dream catchers and hung them above their sleeping places. Inspired by a spider weaving its web, dream catchers were believed to offer protection from bad dreams. Bad dreams became entangled in the web and disappeared with the first rays of the morning sun. Good dreams passed through the center of the dream catcher and were guided down to the sleeping person below.

Institute for Combustion Science
Combustion Laboratory
The Combustion Laboratory, established in 1993, focuses on the behavior of chlorine, sulfur, and mercury during combustion. Since the construction of the 0.1MWth laboratory scale fluidized-bed combustor (FBC system) in 1995, over a half million dollars in research funding have been received from the U.S. Department of Energy, EPRI, the Illinois Clean Coal Institute, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The FBC system has been involved in over 8000 hours of testing. This amount of testing time is the longest that has been conducted by any university FBC system in the United States.
The Combustion Laboratory was also awarded a two million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for their project on "Establishment of an Environmental Control Technology Laboratory with a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion System" in the year 2004. The primary objective of this project is to establish an Environmental Control Technology Laboratory (ECTL) using a multi-functional circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) system. The system can be easily configured to make combustion runs with various fuels (such as coal, coal fine, biomass, solid wastes and RDF) under varying conditions to analyze and monitor air pollutant emissions, as requested by the lab's industrial partners. The successful development of these technologies will provide scientific data on atmospheric pollutants resulting from combustion systems and the methodologies required to reduce the emission of these pollutants across the United States.
Since 2002, the Combustion Laboratory has been participating in an ongoing carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration research project using an aqueous ammonia scrubbing technology with China and other countries. CO2 produced from combustion sources, such as fossil fuel-fired power plants, is captured from the flue gas. The CO2 reacts with aqueous ammonia to form ammonium bicarbonate (ABC), which can act as a "CO2 carrier" to "transport" CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels to soil structure and crops in the farmlands due to its water solubility. ICSET scientists have investigated the fate of carbon distribution after the ABC fertilizer is applied to soil. It was found that a considerable amount (up to 10%) of the carbon source is absorbed by plants with increased biomass production. The majority of the unused carbon source (up to 76%) percolated into the aquifer to form stable carbonates. Of those 76% carbon, up to 88% was in the form of insoluble salts (i.e., CaCO3) in alkaline soils. Ammonia scrubbing in a slipstream reactor in real flue gas condition is under investigation at the Combustion Laboratory.
The Combustion Laboratory has investigated two approaches aimed at reducing the environmental impact and human health risk associated with animal confined feeding operations. They are (1) maximizing beneficial utilization of animal waste and (2) reducing ammonia emissions from animal feeding operations. Over the past year, ICSET at WKU developed processes for preparing activated carbon from chicken waste and coal for mercury capture. Low-cost activated carbon samples were prepared from a co-process of chicken wastes. Also, a continuous NH3 emission monitoring study of confined feeding operation (CFO) facilities was carried out using 4 commercially available NH3 monitoring systems. During a two-week monitoring period, it was found that the concentration of NH3 in the test poultry house showed an opposite trend to the ambient temperature. High ambient temperature affected the operation of the venting system, which brought air from outside of the test facility and resulted in the observed lowering in NH3 concentration due to dilution.
Kentucky is ranked second in the nation in installed flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubber capacity for coal-fired power plants. As a result, large amounts of FGD by-products are produced annually. An increase in the utilization of FGD by-products (e.g. agricultural land application) creates significant economic opportunities for the state of Kentucky. However, concerns about the release of hazardous elements have inhibited the usage. The Combustion Laboratory is evaluating the environmental impact associated with land application of the FGD by-product. In this project, the emission, leaching, and bioaccumulation of Mercury (Hg) and other environmentally-concerned trace elements (e.g. Arsenic (As), Selenium (Se), and Chromium (Cr)) from soil, which are amended using FGD by-products, will be quantitatively and mechanically determined. The benefit of using FGD by-products in improving plant growth and soil properties will also be systematically demonstrated.
A laboratory scale gasification unit has been constructed at the Combustion Laboratory. The gasification system has developed a number of important gasification programs, including Advanced Gasification Syngas Multi-Contaminant Cleanup Technologies and Novel Gasification Concepts (e.g. chemical looping gasification and co-gasifying coal with CBM to produce a synthesis gas with an adjustable H2/CO ratio). Additional benefits may include economical abatement of sulfur emissions and the production of a potential mercury sorbent. This process is based on some key chemical reaction mechanisms and their cooperative effects.
Other research projects, "Development for Clean Coal Technology-Horizontal Swirling Fluidized Bed Boiler," and "Application of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Process for the Chemical Looping Combustion of Solid Fuels" are also conducted in this laboratory.

MPAA & RIAA: If People Can Sell Foreign Purchased Content Without Paying Us Again, US Economy May Collapse
from the a-bit-of-an-exaggeration deptWe've written a few times about the upcoming Kirtsaeng case before the Supreme Court concerning first sale rights. If you don't recall, the 2nd Circuit appears to have wiped out the first sale doctrine for content purchased outside the country that you want to resell within the US. As we noted, there are significant worries about how such a ruling could really harm innovation. At issue was a guy who bought textbooks abroad and resold them in the US (for less than the cover price that the publishers wanted students to buy). The courts basically found that because the textbooks were made outside the US, they weren't "lawfully made under this title," which is some clumsy phrasing that's at issue here.
Of course, thanks to our copyright maximalism, under Kirtsaeng, if a product is made outside the US and then imported, US copyright law appears to apply to almost everything that's copyrightable... except that first sale rights go away. If that seems dangerous, you get a sense of how important the Supreme Court's ruling in Kirtsaeng can be, hopefully by bringing back some sanity, and showing that if you legally purchase some digital content you have the right to resell it.
It appears that the RIAA and MPAA are pretty scared about this possibility. They've filed quite the amicus brief in the case claiming that buying goods overseas and selling them in the US is the equivalent of piracy. No joke:
Copyright protection is essential to the health of the motion picture and music industries and the U.S. economy as a whole. Like the sale of "pirated" copies, unauthorized importation of copies of protected works made overseas and intended only for sale in a foreign market can undercut or eliminate the economic benefit that Congress intended to provide under the Copyright Act.Oh, and it gets worse. You see, if that darned first sale is allowed on foreign goods, why (*gasp*) the MPAA and RIAA might actually have to deal with people buying goods in one market and selling them elsewhere. Horrors!
Extending the first sale doctrine to copies made abroad for distribution in a foreign market could impede authors' ability to control entry into distinct markets, limit their flexibility to adapt to market conditions, or undermine territorial licensing agreements. If accepted, Kirtsaeng's view of the first sale doctrine could thus prevent U.S. copyright holders from obtaining the economic reward Congress intended to provide under U.S. law to motivate investment in creative activity.Now that's an interesting interpretation of copyright law. The RIAA and MPAA are arguing that if they can't block people from importing the versions they sell overseas, it will somehow motivate less investment in creative activity. Really?
Here's the real problem: the RIAA and MPAA want to have their cake and eat it too. If products bought abroad and then imported into the US don't get first sale rights, then it seems only reasonable that they shouldn't get US copyright protection either. Part of the deal with copyright protection in the US is that as part of it, you accept that buyers have first sale rights that allow them to resell what they legally purchased. What the RIAA and MPAA are attempting to do here is to take away the public's right to resell what they've legally purchased, because it might interfere with one aspect of their preferred business model.
Of course, what this really comes down to is that the RIAA and MPAA absolutely hate the idea that they might have to compete in a global market. They more or less admit this in the brief, suggesting that prices are cheaper elsewhere in the world because copyright law sucks in other places... and allowing cheap goods into the US means that they don't get the "separate benefit" of expansive US copyright law:
When copyright owners distribute tangible copies of creative works in a foreign market, they recoup the economic benefit made possible by the copyright law of that country, which may be substantially less generous or well enforced than U.S. copyright law. They do not realize the separate benefit Congress intended them to derive from their U.S. copyright. If those copies are imported into the United States without permission, the copyright owner might never obtain that full benefit.Boohoo. You sell into one market, people buy, they sell into a different market. Every other business in the world has to deal with exactly that. Why should the RIAA/MPAA get special treatment?
Oh, and of course, they rush to play up how much "harm" this would do if they can't overprice content in the US (what this is really about) by trotting out the same debunked stats about just how important they are -- even to the point of suggesting that allowing people to resell goods they legally bought elsewhere would have deleterious consequences for the entire US economy.
Those harms, in turn, could have deleterious consequences for the U.S. economy as a whole. As of 2010, the motion picture and television industry supported 2.1 million jobs and nearly $143 billion in total wages in the United States.... In addition to the major motion picture studios, the industry supports a nationwide network of nearly 95,000 businesses throughout the 50 States. Id. The music industry employed over 25,000 paid employees as of 2004.... The industry supports many smaller businesses such as retail stores, distribution companies, recording studios, and music professionals. The retail trade alone generates over $7 billion from the sale of sound recordings... Maintaining robust copyright protection is thus crucial to preserving not only the health of these creative fields themselves, but also their substantial contributions to the national economy.That the actual evidence suggests something quite different is, of course, not mentioned. That the overall music and movie industries have been growing quite nicely, even as copyright is more and more ignored, is not mentioned. That more content is being produced and more money is being made... is not mentioned. Inconvenient facts are not allowed.
The filing at one point gets so snarky that it claims that those arguing the other side are using the word "arbitrage" as a euphemism (for what?!), rather than as an accurate description of what happens to normal economies that can't set up protectionist tariffs on importation of goods.
The whole thing shows the same myopic thinking of the RIAA and MPAA -- that anything that threatens their chosen obsolete business model simply must be illegal. Because having the courts and Congress prop up old business models must be better than actually innovating and (*gasp*) letting people resell what they legally bought.

How to Post on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board
There's a few simple things you should know before you ask your first question on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board.
The people here are a curious, intelligent, and helpful group. We have everyone from retired mechanics and mechanical engineers to people just getting interested in hotrodding for the first time. Everyone likes to come together around a good discussion, and if you can provide us with one by asking a good question, we will be in your debt.
But, if you don't take the time to consider your question before you ask it, you probably won't get a good reply, if you get one at all.
The effort you put into asking your question is equal to the quality of the responses you will receive in return.
Before You Ask
Before you make a single post on the board, you should have already read at least 100 other posts. Just skimming through several pages of posts will give you an idea of how people act around here.
If you make a post without having read any previous posts, it will be very obvious to everyone.
We have several tech forums here, for everything from engine to interior questions, as well as forums for non-automotive discussions. Put your posts in the correct forums. If you aren't sure where a tech question should go, put it in the General Rodding Tech forum. If you have a tech question that could be placed in one of multiple tech forums, then just choose one. You can put a clutch question in the Engine forum or the Transmission-Rearend forum -- either one will be fine. Put it in the Body-Exterior category, and it will be obvious you weren't paying attention.
If you have a non-automotive question, or discussion to start, don't put it in a technical forum. Put it in the Hotrodders' Lounge. Questions about Hotrodders.com, or the Hotrodders Bulletin Board, go in the Hotrodders Q&A forum. Questions or discussions about the Hotrodders Knowledge Base should go in the Hotrodders Knowledge Base forum. Smack talking threads, or threads you think might get out of hand, go in the Dump.
The question you are about to ask may very well have been asked, discussed and answered before. So before you ask, look around. Use the board search function. Do a search in the Hotrodders Knowledge Base.
Then, when you post, demonstrate that you've already looked for an answer. Say "I looked at such-and-such website" or "I talked to so-and-so about this" or "I searched through the board archives". This shows everyone that you respect their knowledge, and you didn't just run to them for an answer without thinking it through.
When you ask a question, you are asking someone for a favor. Nobody owes you an answer. So be polite.
Composing Your Question
The way you are perceived on the internet is dictated by one thing alone -- your words. So use them carefully.
We aren't English professors here, but we do ask that you try to spell reasonably. Use periods. Don't use ALL CAPS, it's considered shouting. Write a descriptive title, not "having a problem", or "need some help". Everyone here is having a problem, and needs some help .
Read your post over before you post it. Then, read it after it's posted. If you need to change anything, use the edit button. Use the preview post feature.
Here is an example of the same question, asked by two different new users.
User 1 can't get his engine to start in cold weather, so he posted the following:
Title: NEED HELP!
User 2 also can't get his engine to start in cold weather. He posted the following:
Title: Engine won't start below 40 degrees
Hi guys -- new member here. I'm having a problem getting my engine to start when the temperature is below 40 degrees. I've searched through the old posts and the Knowledge Base, and I've done such-and-such as was recommended, but it still won't work.
Here's exactly what happens when I try to start it...(followed by a DETAILED listing of the problem).
Here's my setup...(followed by a detailed listing of all parts that might be relevant to this problem).
What's the next step for me to take to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Which user would you answer?
User 2 started off with a descriptive title for his post. Then, he demonstrated that he had already searched for an answer. He gave a detailed description of his problem, and a detailed description of all relevant parts. He described the steps he had already taken. Then, he asked an outright question -- "What's the next step for me to take to troubleshoot this problem?". And he was polite. He'll probably get plenty of answers to his question, and plenty of people willing to help him out.
User 1, on the other hand, apparently took little or no time to compose his question. He was rude and inconsiderate. He obviously didn't even read the page when he signed up, because he is breaking half of our rules. He must've just quickly clicked on the "I Agree" button. He will either be ignored, or he won't get a satisfactory answer.
Same problem, same question. Asked two different ways.
Questions Not to Ask
If you ask one of the questions below, or something similar, people will probably either make fun of you, or they will ignore you. Take your pick.
"How do I make flames come out of my exhaust?"
This has been asked numerous times before. If you don't know the answer, you aren't using the board search.
"Will 302 heads fit on a 350?"
See #1.
"Should I get a Holley or Edelbrock carb?"
See #2.
"Howdy, I got a 350 chevy 4 bolt main. It is in a chevy car with a chevy transmission. It has an intake. How much do you guys think horsepower I am making and torque power abilities at the peakness PRM's?"
You are making 500 horsepower with the intake turned on, and 600 horsepower with the ashtray in the upright position. Your RPM torque should reach peakness at 65 or 75, depending on the barometric temperature, and whether it's a Chevy or a GM.
Any answer you receive to the above question will be as useless as the answer we've just given. There is no magic dyno here. If you have solid numbers, cam specs, or other data, ask around and someone will run your figures through Desktop Dyno or some other similar program to give you an approximate horsepower and/or torque reading.
Before you ask how much horsepower or torque such-and-such part will add, you had best understand exactly what such-and-such part does. If you don't understand, just ask, and someone will be happy to explain.
After You Ask Your Question
After you ask your question, and get a few ideas from the people who answered you, be sure to come back and let us know what happened. We like to know how our ideas worked out, and if they helped you or not. We like to know how the problem was solved. Also, it helps other people who will look at the discussion later on.
Miscellaneous Stuff and Common Questions
Don't try to pretend that you know more than you do. Admit what you know, and what you don't, and people will be happy to help you learn. Try to show off, and someone who knows 10 times as much as you will make you look like a ******* in front of everybody.
Don't use foul language in the tech forums. We're not Mother Teresa here, but when asking or responding to questions in the tech categories, try to keep it PG-13. You can reserve the more casual talk for discussions in the Hotrodders' Lounge, or in the Dump.
Stay on topic. A question on gear ratios should not end up as a heated discussion on global politics. You can chit-chat all you like in the Hotrodders' Lounge. The tech forums are for on-topic technical discussions.
You'll probably find that most of the conversation at Hotrodders.com centers around domestic hot rod and muscle car era vehicles, but we appreciate automotive diversity in all its forms. If you are an import car enthusiast, we welcome you here. Please be sure to read this post.
You might be wondering how you can get your own custom picture under your name when you post on the board. Those are called "avatars". We'll be happy to make you your own custom avatar if you send us your username, plus a pic to: [email protected]. It usually takes up to a week after you send your pic to see it on the board. No animated graphics, please.
You might see people using abbreviations like LOL or ROTFL. The most common ones are LOL (Laugh Out Loud), ROTFL (Rolling On The Floor Laughing), or HTH (Hope This Helps). If you see any others that you aren't sure of, just type them into the search engine at AcronymFinder.com.
If you are unsure of exactly how to post, click here for an explanation.
If you are having login problems, or password problems, click here for help.
If you have some other questions about how the Bulletin Board works, you might want to have a look at the Bulletin Board FAQ. If that doesn't answer your question, please feel free to post your question in the Hotrodders Q&A forum.
If you see someone on the board who seems like they might not have read this page, please remind them to do so. If you see someone on the board who appears to be repeatedly ignoring the above guidelines, please let me know immediately at [email protected]. If you would like to suggest an addition or a modification to this page, please start a new topic with your ideas in the Hotrodders Q&A forum on the board.
Nobody expects you to get everything here right on the first try, and everybody screws up from time to time. We thrive on good discussions, and we're relying on you to ask good questions.
It doesn't matter if you've been wrenching on cars for decades, or if you've never done an oil change before. If you demonstrate respect, and show people that you're willing to learn, every door here will be opened for you.

Barnes' extreme care in developing his small to medium-size acrylic or casein panels is apparent to even the casual viewer. Precision and intricacy of detail draw in and hold the viewer. His use of unusual objects commands admiration from collectors who value traditional rendering of form and color, as well as those fascinated by the juxtapositions of miscellaneous remnants of the natural and contrived universe.
Growing up in California, Barnes attended UCLA before studying with Byron Burford in Iowa City, whose course in materials and techniques introduced him to egg tempera and casein, his major media since. Soon after his Iowa City period, signs appeared of what has become Barnes' signature style - landscapes noted for their "loneliness" by a local critic alternated with still-life studies of odd combinations of small objects. Recently, after sojourns in Tucson and Santa Fe, Barnes is bringing a warmer, more relaxed ambience to his exotic works.
Since 1983 Barnes has exhibited in over 45 Midwestern and Southwestern exhibitions, and his work, which hangs in over 20 public and corporate collections, is sought after by a faithful and patient group of private collectors. Images of his work have been published in ArtNews, Southwest Art, New Art Examiner and New American Paintings.

The so-called Tebow bill -- legislation that would allow home-schooled children to play varsity sports for teams at public schools they choose not to attend -- was thrown for a loss in Virginia's Senate.
Delegate Rob Bell's bill failed to emerge from the Senate Education and Health Committee on a 7-8 vote Thursday as scores of home-school children and their parents waited for hours in a cramped legislative meeting room.
Advocates for the legislation argued that the taxes they pay that support public education entitles children whose parents opt to teach them at home to high school interscholastic teams for organized sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball and football.
Opponents, however, said families had a choice to enroll their children in public schools where they have a right to try out for sports teams and that children schooled at home don't have to sit in classrooms all day and be subject to the same testing as those in local schools.
"You knew the ground rules when you opted to home-school your kids. You made that choice and that is your choice to make," Senate Democratic Leader Richard L. Saslaw told Steve Henderson of Suffolk, who home schooled two of his children.
"I understand, sir, and what I would say is, we pay our taxes, too, and there's no difficulty in taking our money," Henderson replied.
"Your taxes also purchase an F-22 jet fighter, but that doesn't give you the right to fly it," Saslaw shot back.
Steve Henderson's home-schooled son, Josh Henderson, excelled at baseball at a Baptist school in Suffolk and is a 16th-round 2012 Major League draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers who leaves in a few days for spring camp in Arizona. His appeal was simpler.
"I just want you all to give these guys a shot," he said, gesturing toward about a dozen young children queued in the committee room aisle awaiting a chance to speak.
The bill is informally named after Tim Tebow, the New York Jets quarterback who was home-schooled in Florida before he won a Heisman Trophy at the University of Florida. While it has enlisted emotional support from home-school households -- many of them conservative -- it has generated fierce opposition from public educators, including organizations representing teachers, administrators, school boards and superintendents.
The Virginia High School League, the statewide sanctioning body for interscholastic competition at 313 publicly supported high schools, spearheaded the opposition. Students who participate in sports or other events governed by VHSL must meet 13 separate eligibility requirements, the first of which is to "be a regular bona fide student in good standing of the school which he (or) she represents."
"Home schoolers and their advocates have testified that they're not to be treated differently, they don't expect preferential treatment, that they agree to meet the same requirements as public school students, but they have chosen a different education path and I urge you not to create a small, elite group with separate and lesser standards," said VHSL executive director Ken Tilley.
Virginia is among 31 states where only children enrolled in a public school may participate in the school's competitive interscholastic organizations. Twenty-nine allow some level of participation by those who are not full-time students.

From Wikipedia:Preboot Execution Environment:
- The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE, also known as Pre-Execution Environment; sometimes pronounced "pixie") is an environment to boot computers using a network interface independently of data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems.
In this guide, PXE is used to boot the installation media with an appropriate option-rom that supports PXE on the target. This works well when you already have a server set up.
Get the latest official install media from download page.
Next mount the image:
# mkdir -p /mnt/archiso # mount -o loop,ro archlinux-2017.12.01-x86_64.iso /mnt/archiso
Server setup
You will need to setup a DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP server to configure networking, load pxelinux/kernel/initramfs, and finally load the root filesystem (respectively).
Arch currently only supports BIOS-style PXE booting. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50188 for more info.
Bring up your wired NIC, and assign it an address appropriately.
# ip link set eth0 up # ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
You will need both a DHCP and TFTP server to configure networking on the install target and to facilitate the transfer of files between the PXE server and client; dnsmasq does both, and is extremely easy to set up.
Configure dnsmasq:
# /etc/dnsmasq.conf
port=0 interface=eth0 bind-interfaces dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h dhcp-boot=/arch/boot/syslinux/lpxelinux.0 dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg dhcp-option-force=210,/arch/ dhcp-option-force=66,192.168.0.1 enable-tftp tftp-root=/mnt/archiso
Thanks to recent changes in archiso, it is now possible to boot from HTTP (
archiso_pxe_http initcpio hook) or NFS (
archiso_pxe_nfs initcpio hook); among all alternatives, darkhttpd is by far the most trivial to setup (and the lightest-weight).
First, install the darkhttpd package.
Then start darkhttpd using our
/mnt/archiso as the document root:
# darkhttpd /mnt/archiso
darkhttpd/1.8, copyright (c) 2003-2011 Emil Mikulic. listening on: http://0.0.0.0:80/
Note that it is important that the server is running on port
80. If you start darkhttpd without root access it will default to
8080. The client will try to access port 80 and the boot will fail.
For this portion you will need to figure out how to tell the client to attempt a PXE boot; in the corner of the screen along with the normal post messages, usually there will be some hint on which key to press to try PXE booting first. On an IBM x3650
F12 brings up a boot menu, the first option of which is Network; on a Dell PE 1950/2950 pressing
F12 initiates PXE booting directly.
Looking at journald on the PXE server will provide some additional insight to what exactly is going on during the early stages of the PXE boot process:
# journalctl -u dnsmasq.service -f
dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPDISCOVER(eth1) 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPOFFER(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPREQUEST(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPACK(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/whichsys.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe_choose.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/ifcpu64.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe_both_inc.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_head.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe32.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe64.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/splash.png to 192.168.0.110
After you load
pxelinux.0 and
archiso.cfg via TFTP, you will (hopefully) be presented with a syslinux boot menu with several options, where you can select Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) (HTTP).
Next the kernel and initramfs (appropriate for the architecture you selected) will be transferred, again via TFTP:
dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img to 192.168.0.110
If all goes well, you should then see activity on darkhttpd coming from the PXE-target; at this point the kernel would be loaded on the PXE-target, and in init:
1348347586 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/aitab" 200 678 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347587 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/x86_64/root-image.fs.sfs" 200 107860206 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347588 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/x86_64/usr-lib-modules.fs.sfs" 200 36819181 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347588 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/any/usr-share.fs.sfs" 200 63693037 "" "curl/7.27.0"
After the root filesystem is downloaded via HTTP, you will eventually end up at the normal live system root zsh prompt.
Unless you want all traffic to be routed through your PXE server (which will not work anyway unless you set it up properly), you will want to stop
dnsmasq.service and get a new lease on the install target, as appropriate for your network layout.
You can also kill darkhttpd; the target has already downloaded the root filesystem, so it is no longer needed. While you are at it, you can also unmount the installation image:
# umount /mnt/archiso
At this point you can follow the Installation guide.
Alternate Methods
As implied in the syslinux menu, there are several other alternatives:
You will need to set up an NFS server with an export at the root of your mounted installation media, which would be
/mnt/archiso if you followed #Preparation. After setting up the server, add the following line to your
/etc/exports file:
/mnt/archiso 192.168.0.0/24(ro,no_subtree_check)
If the server was already running, re-export the filesystems with
exportfs -r -a -v.
The default settings in the installer expect to find the NFS at
/run/archiso/bootmnt, so you will need to edit the boot options. To do this, press Tab on the appropriate boot menu choice and edit the
archiso_nfs_srv option accordingly:
Alternatively, you can use
/run/archiso/bootmnt for the entire process.
After the kernel loads, the Arch bootstrap image will copy the root filesystem via NFS to the booting host. This can take a little while. Once this completes, you should have a running system.
Install the nbd package and configure it:
[generic] [archiso] readonly = true exportname = /srv/archlinux-2017.12.01-x86_64.iso
Existing PXE Server
If you have an existing PXE server with a PXELINUX system setup (e.g. a combination of DHCP and TFTP), you can add the following menu items to your
pxelinux.cfg file in order to boot Arch via your preferred method:
LABEL 2 MENU LABEL Arch Linux x86_64 LINUX /path/to/extracted/Arch/ISO/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz INITRD /path/to/extracted/Arch/ISO/arch/boot/intel_ucode.img,/path/to/extracted/Arch/ISO/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img APPEND archisobasedir=arch archiso_http_srv=http://httpserver/path/to/extracted/Arch/ISO/ ip=:: SYSAPPEND 2 TEXT HELP Arch Linux 2017.12.01 x86_64 ENDTEXT
You can replace
archiso_http_srv with
archiso_nfs_srv for NFS or
archiso_nbd_srv for NBD. Adding the
ip= instruction is necessary to instruct the kernel to bring up the network interface before it attempts to mount the installation medium over the network. See README.bootparams for available boot parameters.
DHCP interface rename bug
FS#36749 causes default predictable network interface renaming to fail and then dhcp client to fail because of it. A workaround is to add the kernel boot parameter
net.ifnames=0 to disable predictable interface names.
Low memory systems
copytoram initramfs option can be used to control whether the root filesystem should be copied to ram in its entirety in early-boot.
It highly recommended to leave this option alone, and should only be disabled if entirely necessary (systems with less than ~256MB physical memory). Append
copytoram=n to your kernel line if you wish to do so.
copytoram=n and
archiso_pxe_http are mutually exclusive.

How long do you anticipate playing Bespin DLC?
106 posts Member
I have enjoyed playing the Bespin DLC the past two weeks as a Season Pass holder. I like the various maps and modes, but I know eventually I will get bored of the Bespin playlist. Like with Outer Rim before it, I will eventually return to one of the base game playlists. I admit that Walker Assault is my favorite mode and I enjoy the base game WA playlist. It was nice that the Bespin DLC included a WA map, but how many times can you play that map in a row? People have bashed the base game for its lack of content, yet I think it says something that I keep coming back to it. The three additional free WA maps help of course. So, how long do you anticipate playing the Bespin DLC? Do you think you will keep playing it until the Death Star DLC drops in September (approximately) or do you think you will revert to another playlist in a month? Just curious what the community thinks. This is not to bash the Bespin DLC. I like it, but...
5513 posts MemberAlready quit playing it. Playlist killed it for me completely. I can't even binge fighter squadron.DIRECTOR & PRODUCER: GALACTIC CIVIL WAR FILM0
135 posts MemberI think i will be playing Bespin till death star is out. If anything the worst than can happen is stop playing bespin constantly the last week or two before death star comes and play some vanilla with some outer rim just to keep it fresh and also to keep me ready for Death Star!:) One thing that helps is usually playing with friends or a clan cause at any moment you guys can experience something sweet like fails, strategizeing moments, epic kills, or just plain talking about battlefront while playing.0
103 posts MemberI always play with the same friends and when they don't want to play Bespin we just take a couple of days off from it and play the Vanilla maps or Outer Rim. It's actually refreshing after doing the same thing over and over.0
547 posts MemberI like big team objective games so Im mostly back to normal game, I only play Bespin 20% of the time, only so many times I can play cloud city, it's not even that good a map anyway
1 big objective map on 2 DLC is a bit of a disaster for me0

513 posts MemberI'll be playing it until I reach rank 70. After that and the purchase of the Shock Trooper I will be taking a Battlefront break and playing some other games I have wanted to play. I really like Bespin and the playlist doesn't bug me, but it's good to take a break now and again and come back recharged and ready to play.0
Lmao how long uhh buddy after 4 days i got bored... Id still play if the playlist didnt make me play things i didnt wanna play..0
2605 posts MemberYea same, went back to vanilla supremacy/WA.0
4 posts MemberAnd I guess I can't get a refund on buying the Bespin DLC within 24 hours?
It won't let me, it's absolutely horrible.0
58 posts Memberonly really sticking around bespin to finish the bespin Hutt contracts, when I finally get my last disarm generator for the shock grenade I will likely drop Bespin, move back to OR and Vanilla.
for a DLC advertised as large modes only, 1 map is really poor, with 2/3 small CQC maps. Sabotage is good, although could probably do with a smaller player count. an extraction and Sabotage mixed playlist would be brilliant, with maybe 10 v 10, but who am I kidding, will never happen.0
2394 posts MemberI lasted about two hours. The playlist ruins it. I'm not even finishing the contracts.0
1663 posts MemberI rotate between everything to keep me interested. Thankfully supremacy and WA on the vanilla maps seems to do it for me and keeps me going.0
698 posts MemberI literally played outer rim non stop. Never went back to vanilla once it came out.
With bespin, I'm already done... I've gone back to vanilla.
I switch it up with some outer rim.
An then when I get bored with that I'll check out the bespin maps...
And then get tired of the playlist.
Playlist is awful an the way they set up their DLCs leaves a bad taste in your mouth0

730 posts Memberdoesnt anyone else have the option to choose the map you want to play or is is just me? I know on ps4 if I want to play blast all day in the rebel depot, I can, just by hitting square and choosing map once I highlight whatever mode I want. So, to me, there is no forced playlist. I'm free to choose mode/map any way I like.0
169 posts MemberAll contracts finished, iam done.0
14 posts MemberJuly 6, 2016 12:32PM edited July 2016To be honest, I already got kinda tired of it. Mostly because I dislike the carbon freezing chambers so much due to how compact and crazy it is. I don't feel like it's worthy of 16vs16 players. Maybe 8vs8 would suit it better. I'd have to say I'm enjoying the vanilla maps and OR more.0
873 posts MemberAs of yesterday I finished all my contracts, so no more forced Sabotage for me. Done with Bespin until I get bored with the vanilla maps again.0
I'm about 90% done with Bespin already. That bloody playlist. I actually didn't mind the playlist before they changed it to mostly Sabotage. I really dislike that meat grinder of a mode. So, that just killed it for me.
Aside from the aesthetic beauty of the maps, the gameplay is really boring across most modes. It's the same thing over and over again. control point inside a room. defending team is holed-up in there. Attacking team grenade spams to gain control. Rinse and repeat at the next control point.I find your lack of Guinness disturbing0

Probably the same for me. No complaints about it or the playlist, I've just got a backlog of games accumulating from the Steam Summer sale. And Overwatch is still fresh and deserves some love.
Just about ready to flip to rank 68.The greatest teacher, failure is.0
1429 posts MemberUntil Deathstar comes out. I played nothing but OR until Bespin0
I've already completed all contracts that required Bespin, so probably not much longer. I'll be back to vanilla for actual variety and modes I want to play soon.
There's no excuse for not having a DLC-owner playlist that mixes DLC maps with vanilla maps in whatever specific mode you want to play. Many other games include this feature. In CoD, it's seamless. You don't even realize you're in a DLC-owner only playlist.0

Yep. These developers just don't get it, man. I also have to wonder how much the PC environment is ruining it for console players. Seems like they are catering to the PC lack of a playerbase with this playlist rubbish, and console players are left to suffer.

I wonder whats diffrent i mean i wanna like bespi more then outer rim but for some reason i dont. Is it because were getting bored? Or what0

PC players are very vocal, so it could be that. From what I can tell, the player base on PS4 is strong enough to support multiple playlists (maybe I'm wrong?).Themainman wrote: »I wonder whats diffrent i mean i wanna like bespi more then outer rim but for some reason i dont.

I like the aesthetic of the Bespin maps, but what I don't like, as opposed to OR and vanilla, is the two extremes: 1) wide open maps where I get sniped coming out of my spawn by the same d-bag on top of a building on the other side of the map; and 2) the absolute overcrowded cluster bomb of the Carbonite Freezing Chamber. These would be great if they were mixed in with all the other OR and Vanilla maps, but having to play just those two extremes over and over and over really grates on my nerves after a while.
698 posts MemberI don't play it. Got the season pass ages ago. I'm happy about the new weapons (ok I'm happy about the EE-4). I don't use the new hero/villain and because my favourite mode is not represented in Bespin, I just don't bother.0

I feel your pain, I sporadically play and I've not even had a chance to play Bespin FS. It's royally Pee'd me off.
2473 posts MemberHaha are you asking how long I'll play it non stop for? probably a few games, then I go to outer rim or something, you're forgetting, the point of these dlcs isn't to keep us enthralled for weeks on end without doing anything else, it's simply to ADD TO THE GAME. do I think Bespin is failing? no. will I only be playing bespin for the next month? of course not. but it will surely be apart of my day to day rotation, always have to get a few games of sabotage in.0
974 posts MemberI'll be playing it for quite a while. Right now I'm kind of rotating my time between vanilla Cargo, Outer Rim, and Bespin, and having a blast. I like the modes, the playlist doesn't bother me, and it's just fun for me.0
193 posts MemberJuly 6, 2016 2:38PM edited July 2016I play Bespin a bunch because most of the people I play with are into it. I personally am over it, and much prefer to play vanilla Walker Assault or Outer Rim. After getting all the new toys, I find this DLC to be a fairly shallow experience. It sure is pretty to look at, but I feel there's just not a lot more to it beneath the surface. Sabotage is fun enough, but I find Extraction to more interesting and to have more staying power.
4638 posts MemberUntil the next dlc comes out. Even then I'll keep going back and playing it0
129 posts MemberGotta buy it first to play it0
1074 posts MemberI was back to the vanilla gameplay for my favourite Walker assault mode as soon as I completed the contracts. The playlist has killed it for me again.
If there was a playlist for season pass holders that played through all of the dlc in random order, that might interest me.0
July 6, 2016 5:45PM edited July 2016The playlist is such a terrible and unnecessary evil, that I will not buy any DLC if it has a forced playlist.
More DLC playlists would encourage more to use their DLC, and more to buy. Then people that like the same thing, can find each other, and play together. This also could make the DLC feel integrated into the base game planets.
July 6, 2016 5:47PM edited July 2016I like big team objective games so Im mostly back to normal game, I only play Bespin 20% of the time, only so many times I can play cloud city, it's not even that good a map anyway. 1 big objective map on 2 DLC is a bit of a disaster for me
Of course, we know why it's not 20v20...because DICE has this horrible idea that a mixed-mode playlist is a good idea. The playlist is the problem, not the solution.0
July 6, 2016 5:54PM edited July 2016the player base on PS4 is strong enough to support multiple playlists
PC players, and every platform, quit/re-join the DLC playlist, so DLC owners are ALREADY fragmenting themselves into "virtual" playlists/servers. Adding ACTUAL new DLC playlists (server variety) would just duplicate what's already happening, but with none of the drawbacks (wasting time, missing 50-90% of a new match, never playing with the same people twice, leaving the last server under-populated, not playing in a full server, etc), and enabling unique advantages (you could have Bespin WA playlist rotate across Cloud City + all base game WA planets).
Sure, certain maps/modes in certain DLCs might be unpopular, so unplayable...just like every DLC in every game ever. You can only play what's popular.
If DICE is worried, they could just track to see if utilization goes down or wait times go up, and go back to 1 DLC playlist if needed.

Indiana Cold Case Homicides Playing Cards
The Indiana Department of Correction, in partnership with the Indiana State Police and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, have released two editions of the "Indiana Cold Case Homicides Playing Cards". The decks of playing cards each profile 52 unsolved homicides and missing persons cases from around the state. Each playing card features information on an unsolved murder or missing persons case and a photo of the victim.
Members of the public who would like to provide information on the victim of a cold case homicide or missing persons case, or who would like to have a case reviewed for inclusion in a future release of the deck, may contact the Indiana Department of Correction at firstname.lastname@example.com
If you have information about any case in this deck or a case that does not appear in this deck, please call the Indiana State Police T.I.P.S. Hotline at 1 (800) 453-4756.
The card decks are being distributed throughout Indiana prisons and to law enforcement authorities, and will be the only decks of cards available for purchase in the state's prison facilities. The aim of the project is to create an awareness of these unsolved cases in the prison population and encourage offenders to provide information that might help solve the cases. Officials hope the cards may jar inmate memories or provide a clue that, when combined with other information, might provide the break investigators need to solve a case.

Desktop and Laptop Data Recovery Services
Laptop Data Recovery
In the field, your laptop is probably your closest companion, gathering and storing information while you're away from your company's main network. Hours and days of irreplaceable data can be saved to your laptop's hard drive, and if it gets damaged, recovery can be crucial. And when they fail, it's almost like having an arm or leg cut off.
Whether your laptop has been dropped or run over, had coffee, soda or water spilled on it, corrupted by viruses or just quit booting, more often than not, your data can be recovered and restored.
Whether you have a single hard drive in a desktop PC or a laptop hard drive, ADR Data Recovery Inc., technicians are qualified to recover data from all laptop hard drives without voiding the warranty.
Desktop Data RecoveryVirtually every business and organization in the world has at least one desktop with which they maintain vital business records and personal files. Because of the workload you put on a desktop's hard drive they tend to fail and data loss is more frequent and can be devastating.
Desktops can suffer from simple to very complex data loss situations. From deleted files and software malfunction to electrical and complete mechanical failure. Desktop hard drives are susceptible to many types of failure from hardware, viruses, and natural disasters.
The good news is that ADR Data Recovery successfully recovers data from thousands of
desktop and laptop hard drives every year.
Take these simple steps to protect yourself from permanent data loss and increase your chances for a successful recovery.
What to do when your laptop or desktop hard drive fails:
- Turn off your computer immediately-continued operation can cause greater damage
- Do not turn your computer off and on hoping it will fix itself-when a hard drive is in a distressed state, any extra actions can create more damage
- Do not install or re-install any software or hardware
- Do not take it apart, open or attempt to clean a damaged drive
- Do not use a file recovery or other software to repair damaged drive: especially if it is not spinning, clicks or beeps
- Do not try to turn on, clean or dry a wet or muddy drive: put it in a zip lock bag and call for help
- Do not try to operate a visibly damaged hard drive. Allow the experts to help you out.
We regularly recover data from laptops, desktops and external hard drives made by these manufacturers:

|Welcome to the daffodil site
|The aim of this site is to help you to name daffodil cultivars. Churchyards, municipal plantings and parkland are the best places to search for daffodils, and the best time to look for them is between January and April. Most of the plants you find outside gardens will have been planted intentionally or will have grown from fly-tipped waste; few will have come from seed.
You need to understand from the outset that many of the plants you find cannot be named with certainty: most cultivars are just too ill-defined to make this possible. Some, like 'Tete-a-Tete', you can easily learn to name, and you will always be able to say that your specimen was "close to such-and-such a cultivar". To make the process of identification as simple as possible, the site is divided into three sections. The first, found by following the how to ID daffodils link, describes the way that the pictorial key is supposed to work. The main part of the site is the guide, which takes you through the basic steps needed to identify your specimen, based mainly on the colours of the 6 petals (3 outer and 3 inner perianth segments) and the trumpet (corona). The trumpet may be one-coloured or zoned with more or less distinct rings of different colours. The last section is a pictorial glossary showing some of the most important technical features used in distinguishing between cultivars.
Special thanks to my daffodil teacher, Martin Harwood, who is owner of the National Collection at Silwood Park, Ascot, SL5 7PY. The mistakes, however, are entirely mine: please send corrections and suggestions for improvements to the web site to m.crawley [at] imperial.ac.uk.

text: I'm not too much of a hardware person, but I just bought a Compaq 127006-041 512MB PC133 CL3 ECC SDRAM Memory chip from somebody (who I don't know that well) and tried to install it into my desktop computer and when I booted up the computer it beeped three times and wouldn't boot. I asked the guy about this and he said that it's RAM made specifically for a server, hence the ECC. Doesn't ECC stand for Error Correction Code? Is that true that ECC chips are made ONLY for servers and is that why it didn't work? I don't know if I trust this guy, so that's why I'm asking, imo he probably sold me faulty RAM, but I wouldn't make accusations unless I actually knew, so I'm asking for any insight as this isn't my area of expertise. Thanks.

GAAFR Supplement (e-book format and softcover)
Stephen J. Gauthier, Director of GFOAs Technical Services Center and author of Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting (GAAFR or Blue Book) and numerous other GFOA publications is the author of GFOAs new GAAFR Supplement. There have been several developments affecting accounting, auditing, and financial reporting for state and local governments since the release of the GAAFR in 2012. First, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has released four new standards. Second, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission has issued a significantly expanded version of its classic Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
The supplemental link contains the following new material to address those developments:
- A supplement to Chapter 22, Detailed Note Disclosures, which accounts for changes in note disclosure requirements resulting from the issuance of the three new GASB standards;
- A new version of Chapter 23, Pension Benefits, Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB), and Termination Benefits, rewritten to reflect the new guidance on employer accounting for pensions in GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions;
- A supplement to Chapter 30, Other Specialized Applications, which incorporates the provisions of GASB Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations, and GASB Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees;
- A supplement to Chapter 32, Other Required Supplementary Information (RSI), which addresses employer RSI for pensions consistent with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 68;
- A new version of Chapter 36, Postemployment Benefit Plans, rewritten to reflect the new guidance for pension plans in GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans; and
- A new version of Chapter 42, The Comprehensive Framework of Internal Control, rewritten consistent with the new and expanded COSO framework.

text: Awesome backpack and great customer service 5 I bought this backpack for college. Let me tell you that this is one of the lightest laptop backpacks (and I've done my research). It is very useful, has a lot of space and the front pocket is very useful for keeping everything organized. It is great for small trips because you can have your laptop save and easy to access and the compartment is large enough for packing a couple of clothes. Not only this backpack is well design and very resistant, the customer service from case logic is fantastic. I received wonderful response from their customer service, way beyond what I expected. The quality and design of their products is very good and the price is very affordable. Highly recommended Silvia / Student/ mom Atlanta, GA 2018-06-22

The wide rolling hills, outcrops and quarries of Sandstone and Gritstone that pepper northern England have long been popular with the locals, though visitors are less common, except on the few better known cliffs. Although lacking the extensive edges of the Peak District, there are many fine crags and hidden classics here waiting for the diligent explorer. This guidebook will help climbers get the most from this superb and varied area.
The book is a selected route and crag guide although it still manages to pack over 2350 routes between its covers, spread across 44 crags. The main focus is on routes of all grades from Moderate to E9, but the best bouldering is also described.
Rockfax App Version
The information is available on the Rockfax App via the Download tab on the Crags tab. More information on the App here.

3 Reviews for Northern England
Chris Craggs has sprinkled his fairy dust over all the popular edges from Almscliff to Kyloe, effortlessly locating, describing and beautifully illustrating all the climbs that most of us would ever want to do across this great swathe of northern England.
Just got the book through and used it today at Brimham, our first visit to the crag, made finding our way round very easy. Like the fact that you've put a map at the back, always thought western grit should have done that.
The boxes at the start of each crag breaking down what grades are at the crag and their quality is a nice touch. The photography keeps getting better from guidebook to guidebook, nothing else can compare. For those used to the rockfax format, there are a few new symbols, including how busy the crag gets.
Also good is the flaps on the cover to help keep your page, with handy topo information on the front and ticklist on the back.
Nicely done and good pictures. A lot was missed out and the grading is out by a bit, but we always expected that I suppose. Good effort though and I hope it sells well, just a pity about Barker's eh?
