    }

A: You have Tex.Close();  inside your loop. So after iteration 1 the StreamWriter is closed.
Generally Streams that are opened outside the loop should be closed outside the loop.

A: Sounds like an issue with closing your streams to early.I cannot quite work it out on your code, perhaps if you change order of
ms.Close();
cs.Close();

to...
cs.Close();
ms.Close();

it may work
EDIT: As jaywayco has pointed out, the failing code is definitely going to be due to Tex being closed inside the loop. I had completely missed this whilst trying to understand the code
However, you really need to tidy all this up. You should use "using" statements for your streams as this will close them automatically when finished with. Something like....
using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(...))
{
   using(CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(...))
   {
      //code for cs stream in here
   }
}

A view from an Equestrian Vagabond
Jaziret Bey Musc: Too Much Horse
Tuesday July 30 2013
He was Too Much Horse in the beginning.
Kris Hazelbaker got Jaziret Bey Musc as a weanling from breeder Kathy Ann Judson, but as a 5-year-old, he was still too much horse for Kris. Kris contacted Steph Teeter and asked if she was interested in a big heavyweight horse.
"At the time I had Krusty (Nature's Kruschev, Steph's internationally competitive endurance horse), so I thought of (neighbor) Rick Brand, whose regular horse had lameness issues," Steph says. "They went to look at Rhett, and got him in the trailer - that was the first time he'd been in a trailer - and took him home. Then Rick started 'doing Rhett' - which is great, because I don't think anybody else could have 'done' Rhett."
"He was way too much horse for me, too!" says Carol Brand, Rick's wife. "Rick rode him for about a year before I ever got near him. 'Get him away from me!' I'd said. I didn't want anything to do with that horse!"
Rhett as a 6 and 7-year-old was snorty, and hot, and a bolter. His tendency wasn't so much to spook as it was to just GO. "The first training ride I went on with Carol, and Rick on Rhett," Steph recalls, "I was riding Krusty. We were all kind of doing our normal thing down this logging road, then all of a sudden - BOOM! Rhett was just gone, and Rick's coat was flapping in the wind! He was a bolter - you couldn't take your coat off or anything!" (You still can't!)
Rhett's first 2 endurance rides were LD's in Idaho at the age of 7. His first 50-mile endurance ride 2 months later was not just a 50-mile ride - it was all 5 days in a row (265 miles) of the legendary and challenging Outlaw Trail in Utah.
On Day 1, Rhett almost drowned in a bog.
"We were trying to get him out," Carol recounts. "He was going down for the third time, went clear under the mud with his head, and he was exhausted, and wasn't fighting anymore. And then 3 other riders came along, and we took apart everybody's tack, and made a lasso, and all 5 of us drug him out of the bog.
"And the next day he was fine. The saddle was all screwed up, still wet and covered with slime, but we put it on him, and off we went!" Rhett and Rick ended up winning top Heavyweight honors for the 5-day ride.
Rick partnered with Rhett for 2 full seasons - 14 of 14 rides and 615 miles - before Carol finally rode him on a 50 at the end of Rhett's 8-year-old year.
When Rick started having back issues, Carol rode Rhett the next season to 4 of 4 completions, including Rhett's first 100-mile ride, an 8th place finish at the Mt Adams National Championship Qualifier.
When asked what her impressions of him were, Carol says, "He was an amazing powerhouse and you had the feeling that he could do absolutely anything, which has turned out to be quite true. Those were truly the best rides of my life. Rhett has always been my "10" of all the endurance horses I have ridden. All of the horses that came after had some very large (#2) shoes to fill!"
Carol enjoyed riding Rhett, but she had her own horses to ride, and Rick still had back problems, so they decided to sell Rhett.
Steph Teeter suggested some FEI riders who might be interested in him, and it was multiple World Endurance Champion Valerie Kanavy who expressed an interest in buying Rhett, if she could see a video of him first, before she drove across the country to pick him up.
"I decided I'd have Steph to ride him for the video, and I hired a videographer," Carol says. "When the day came for making the video, the weather was just awful. It was raining, and thundering and lightning. I had Rhett caught up, and he was running around doing laps in his pen away from his friends, and just was like a complete fire breathing dragon, and i didn't want to have anything to do with him!
"That's when Steph drove up, and looked at him, and she said, 'I Want That Horse! He's MINE!'"
Steph doesn't describe the thunder and lightning and the fire breathing dragon, but she does recall calling off the video shoot, saying "I'm going to buy him!" She'd ridden the Mt Adams 100-miler alongside Carol and Rhett, and she remembered he was "just amazing"; and something about Rhett that day at the Brands sealed the deal for Steph.
And Rhett has been absolutely amazing, and snorty, and All Go, since then, adding another 4000 miles, and some very unforgettable rides for Steph over the next 13 years.
"Probably one of the most memorable is the 2001 XP (the cross-country Pony Express ride put on only a handful of times by the Duck)." The first day on the XP was just Steph's third ride on Rhett. "For 1 month, Rhett rode every other day, 500 miles total. He just did it, and I was holding him back the whole time. Literally!"
Then there was July of 2010, that Steph got a whim a week before the 100-mile Tevis Cup, to enter Rhett. He was 19 years old that year. Rhett got his 5000 miles in completing his first attempt at the Tevis. "He was amazing!" Steph said in tears, after they crossed the finish line at 4:58 AM. "He never ever didn't give!"
And then, there was the local 50-mile Owyhee Fandango just this May, that Steph herself put on. "The other most memorable ride, really, was the last one I did on him at Fandango, with [husband] John on Sunny - we Top Tenned, just - WHOOSH - I cried at the end. I mean - THAT HORSE! That was really amazing. That was a high!" That horse is now 22 years old.
By Scooter Bey Musc (of the Muscat lines) out of Justy Karliya, by Witez, Jaziret Bey Musc is nearly all Russian, with a little Polish. He's 15.2 hands, superbly steady and purely athletic, with enormous feet (size 2.5 Easyboot gloves) and good bone. Through May of 2013, he's completed 121 of 128 rides with 6 Best Condition awards, and 9 of 12 100-milers. He's got a little gray hair hiding underneath his forelock now, but his body is still magnificently conditioned.
It's not only the Brands and Steph Teeter that Rhett has impressed. He has carried 15 other riders on endurance rides (including Canadians, Belgians, and an Argentinean), and countless others on training rides, and left them all with fond memories. "A warrior like I like them, just up to the rider to manage his temperament and extreme courage!" said Belgian Leonard Liesens. "A true athlete," Carrie Johnson said. "He was in a league all his own," Connie Holloway commented.
Rhett was one of the first endurance mounts I rode in Idaho. I found him powerful, athletic, and extremely balanced beneath me, and All Go. You still don't ride him in anything other than a 3-ring bit. At 22, even though he is roughly the equivalent of a 60-year-old man, he is still all of that, with no indication he'll change any time soon.
So if you're out on the trails and hear a fast horse coming up behind you, and you see a dark bay with an All Go gleam in his eye and a tail that characteristically waves high in the air like a flag (a silhouette that is unmistakable, even across mile and miles of desert), you'll know that Rhett is still burning up the endurance trails.
And he's still too much horse: Steph will still be holding him back.
Rhett admiring himself on the September 2011 cover of Endurance News
P.S. Sherry Morse commented with this valuable tidbit, which I'm adding here: (thanks, Sherry!)
I couldn't help myself and I did his percentages because the 'nearly all Russian, with a little Polish' didn't sound quite right to me.
So...the little Polish part is correct - about 13.28% roughly, and almost all of it from Witez except for the Aramus. I would expect that's where most of the 'hot' comes from.
However, there's more Crabbet in there than Russian by a good bit - officially 49.54376% Crabbet (using the Eastern Crabbet Society's spreadsheet) and only about 37% Russian - and all of that is through Muscat and Nariadni but both of them also have Crabbet blood behind them although ECAHS is probably the only people who recognize that since they were both born in Russia. There's also a bit of Babson way back on his dam's side but that's probably less than 1% of him all together.

The Mythical Tevis Cup 2013: Part 2
The Mythical Tevis Cup 2013: Part I is here
Saturday August 20 2013
"The heat changed EVERYTHING," Kevin Myers said Sunday morning, after tired riders and crews congregated at the Tevis Cup awards. Myers finished 5th on Auli Farwa (their 4th straight Tevis finish), at 10:58 PM. "It was hellishly hot and humid."
Hopes and strategies were affected by the extreme heat on this year's Tevis trail, particularly the deep canyons that were rumored to be as hot as 118°F. "There was this layer of humid mist that just sat on the canyons," Myers said.
Winners Rusty Toth and 8-year-old Take a Break (Quake) were judged fit to continue at their final vet check at the finish line at the Auburn Fairgrounds at 10:12 PM Saturday night. The pair never owned the lead till 5 miles from the finish line. "The game plan was to try to get to the front sooner than that," Toth said afterwards, "but today the heat and humidity slowed me down quite a bit. I'm from Durango, and we have no humidity. This was very challenging weather-wise for us."
Of the 160 starters, 75 completed. 27 horses were pulled for metabolics, and there were a number of rider options, some of them related to the heat. Clydea Hastie, a tough-as-nails 10,800+ AERC mileage rider and 6-time Tevis finisher from hot Arizona, was one of those. "My horse was fine, I wasn't!" Hastie said afterwards. "I had to get off my horse and sit for a while at the bottom of the second canyon. My legs were complete rubber!" EMTs monitored her condition for half an hour. Once Clydea made it to the top of the canyon and to Michigan Bluff, she pulled herself. A friend rode her horse on into Foresthill, where transport out was much easier for the horse.
"The ride was HARD!" said Melissa Ribley of Grass Valley, California, riding 14-year-old Sakajawea. She would know, being a 19,000+ AERC mileage rider, and going for her 10th Tevis completion. After the heat of the canyons, she told her husband and riding partner Robert (32,500+ AERC miles and (now) 13 Tevis finishes) riding the 8-year-old Appaloosa gelding Crow Pony, "We're never doing this ride again!" She was kidding of course, and was beaming when she received her 1000-mile buckle from Robert at Sunday's awards, after they finished in 53rd and 54th place at 4:32 AM. Melissa is the 71st rider to receive a 1000-mile buckle.
By the first hour hold at Robinson Flat at 36 miles - sometimes referred to as 'the Pressure Cooker' for the intensity of the crewing situation - 21 horses had already been pulled, including a horse who suffered a severe fall, and had to be euthanized. 10 more riders were pulled at Robinson. Temperature at Robinson Flat was still mild, in the low 80's.
First riders into Robinson were mother and son team Karen and (Junior) John Donley, of Palm Desert, California. John just squeaked out his first Tevis finish in 2012 with 10 minutes of time left on the clock, after having changed sponsors when his mom was pulled earlier. He was again riding his 10-year-old mare My Mamselle, with his mom riding 11-year-old Royal Patron. The duo led by 5 minutes out of Robinson, and still held the lead by minutes coming into Deadwood at 55 miles, where Jenni Smith and Jennifer Waitte took over the lead by 5 minutes. Those 4 traded the lead until Foresthill at 68 miles, where Jennifer Waitte left first by 2 minutes.
The "Two Jennies" (also humorously referred to by Rusty Toft as "the poor Jennies") rode Jennifer Waitte's homebred mares, 9-year-old M Dash Czoe (Waitte) and M Dash Stellar (Smith). They had the Tevis ride in mind all year, having previously completed three 65 or 75-mile rides to prepare for it, where they finished first or 2nd in the last two rides. Both horses looked great leaving Foresthill, cantering through town on their way to the California loop trail, Waitte in first place, and Smith in 4th, 5 minutes behind her.
Andre Ruggeri, riding 10-year-old Falcon JE, and going for his first Tevis completion, arrived at Robinson in third place, followed by Willemina DeBoer riding 8-year-old Frisia Mameluk (DeBoer finished 7th in the Tevis in 2012 riding SMR Filouette), followed by the 'Two Jennies', followed by Kevin Myers and Rusty Toth, then Jeremy Reynolds riding 8-year-old RR Chances. Chances is a half-brother to the 2012 World Endurance Championship USA team horse A Kutt Above. 9 minutes separated these first 9 riders.
Utah rider Suzanne Hedgecock, riding LZP Julioslastchance, arrived in 15th place, and Utah's Beverly Gray, riding Jolly Sickle, was in 17th place. Hal Hall, going for his 30th Tevis buckle, was in 22nd place, 31 minutes behind the leaders, while perennial Tevis favorite Barbara White, riding Djubilee came in 77th place, arriving 2 hours behind the leaders.
Positions of the top riders stayed much the same at Last Chance checkpoint at 50 miles, with the Donleys still in first by 2 minutes over the Two Jennies, followed closely by Willemina DeBoer, Myers, Reynolds, and Toft.
The heat of the canyons caused many horses to become inverted - their respiration was equal to or higher than their pulse - and caused many riders to slow down. 21 more horses were pulled at Deadwood at 55 miles after the first canyon, 6 of them metabolics, 7 of them rider options. Watching the rider board at Foresthill was something you did and didn't want to do, for the disappointment of seeing another one of your favorite riders on the pull list. Groans could be heard when someone saw a friend's name: "Awww!"
10 more riders were pulled at the second hour hold, at Foresthill, including Barbara White, (Awww!) who herself was recovering from a horse fall the previous Monday. The accident "left me with a pretty useless left knee and bruised ribs. I thought I could gut it out, but it took its toll on Djubilee's back which became very sore," White said later. While disappointed in not finishing, she was proud of her mare, and she was looking forward to presenting some of the awards at the next day's ceremony.
Arriving at Foresthill after 68 hard, rocky, and dusty miles of trail, is an oasis on the Tevis trail, a half-mile long walk under shade trees lined by dozens of waiting crew members and Tevis groupies, cheering the riders and horses in to the vet check. Volunteers jump in to hose off horses and hand out carrots to the hungry horses. It picks up the spirits of tired riders, and the horses know they're at a rest stop. The horses and riders have an hour hold to eat and rest up for the last third of the Tevis trail. All would be riding at least part of the 32 miles in the dark, much of it along cliffs high above the American River.
Leaders out of Foresthill were: Jennifer Waitte and M Dash Czoe, followed 2 minutes later by Kevin Myers and Auli Farwa, and Rusty Toth and Take a Break; followed 3 minutes later by Jenni Smith and M Dash Stellar; followed 3 minutes later by the Donleys.
Leaving Foresthill in 7th place 14 minutes after the Donleys was Utah's Christoph Schork (24,000+ AERC miles), riding GE Starlit Way, a 10-year-old Arabian gelding, owned and trained by his partner, Dian Woodward. Starlit Way's last 2 rides were two 1st-place finishes and a Best Condition award in a 50 and an 80-mile ride, both in May with Dian. Christoph had been steadily moving up since the 5:15 AM start at Robie Park: 19th at Red Star (28.5 miles), 17th at Robinson (36 miles), 16th at Last Chance (50 miles), 10th at Deadwood (55 miles), 8th at Chicken Hawk (64 miles), and 7th at Foresthill (68 miles).
Schork and Woodward's Global Endurance Training Center crew was quite busy, with 4 horses in the ride. Foreigners Australian Rose Ross rode GE Stars Aflame - 2011 AERC 100-mile National Champion (15th leaving Foresthill), and Britain Sally Toye rode GE Honky Tonk Hector (23rd leaving Foresthill), and Nathalie Weemaels of Ecuador rode Pico (SBD) (27th leaving Foresthill).
Sue Hedgecock and LZP Julioslastchance left Foresthill in 11th, 49 minutes behind the leader; with Beverly Gray and Jolly Sickle 8 minutes behind her.
35 minutes separated the same top 7 riders leaving Francisco's vet check at 85 miles, with Waitte still maintaining a lead of 12 minutes, with 15 miles to go.
The final vet check is at the Lower Quarry, at 94 miles. The Donleys were the first into the Quarry, followed 2 minutes later by Toth and Waitte and Smith, and 7 minutes later by Myers and Schork, with Jeremy Reynolds arriving 3 minutes later. Reynolds' horse RR Chances was pulled here for lameness. John Donley's mare was having trouble pulsing down, and she was slightly lame behind; the vets held him longer to see if the mare would improve. His mom (and sponsor) stayed with him, giving up her lead.
From here on, with 6 miles to the finish, the web-watching audience was left suspended, as the webcast did not update! It wasn't until Toth and Take a Break suddenly and surprisingly came bombing into the stadium at Auburn that the fans at the finish knew who was in front.
The Two Jennies actually left the Lower Quarry in the lead by 2 minutes over Toth, and at the awards next day, Waitte described what happened next:
"My riding partner and I, Jenny Smith, who finished 3rd… We were heading home, in first and second place on the road coming up to Highway 49, and something BLEW BY. And we went 'What was THAT!?' It was like it split hairs!
"I asked Jenny, 'Did you see anything?' We just felt this breeze up the back of our necks. It was Rusty!"
Toth added his own version: "…I didn't get the lead till 5 miles from the finish line. The last 2 riders left about 2 minutes before me...
"This horse is off the track, and he's got the most amazing canter, ever. And I knew we could catch them, and we went for it. I just dropped the reins, and let him go…
"I caught the '4 Jennifers' after the Lower Quarry."
Toth and Take a Break finished 17 minutes ahead of Waitte and Smith, followed by Schork, 17 minutes later. Myers and Auli Farwa were 5th, followed by a solo Karen Donley, whose son's mare had finally been pulled at the Lower Quarry. Mark Schuerman and French Open finished 7th, followed by Sue Hedgecock and LZP Julioslastchance in 8th, Beverly Gray and Jolly Sickle in 9th, and Ann Marie Barnett and Ravvens Allune, a 12-year-old Arabian mare, in 10th, at 12:45 AM.
The Global Endurance team completed with all their horses: Australian Rose Ross and Stars Aflame finished 11th, Britain Sally Toye and GE Honky Tonk Hector finished 10th, and Ecuadorian Nathalie Weemaels and Pico (SBD) finished 21st, at 2:34 AM. Ross said at the awards, after receiving her first Tevis buckle: "Crikey! You Americans are so lucky having a trail like this! Keep it going!"
Every horse and rider who finished this hot Tevis ride was notable, but particularly exceptional finishers were Hal Hall and PR Comet, in 34th place at 3:32 AM for Hall's 3000-mile Tevis buckle; Joyce Sousa and 20-year-old, 8000+ mile LV Integrity, in 35th place at 3:35 AM for their 4th Tevis buckle together; 3 of the 4 Blakeleys in 42nd to 44th place at 3:55 AM, with junior Sanoma Blakely finishing her first Tevis on Taii Myr (brother Barrak was unfortunately pulled at Francisco's at 85 miles); Japan's Hiromi Kitaike finishing on Patrick's Fire in 51st place at 4:27 AM for her 3rd Tevis completion in a row; and the tail enders Ed Seider riding Il Remirame, and Michaela Costello riding Nubira, finishing at 4:58 AM.
The next morning's Haggin Cup judging was a whirl of emotions for the 9 riders who showed, and for Dr Greg Fellers, who presents the Haggin Cup. His voice always breaks with emotion when he speaks of these extraordinary horses that participate in this very demanding ride. "These horses today that we looked at, they are more than machines, they are athletes," he said. "They represent power, stamina, grace, heart, will, and they are our teammates. These 10 athletes that we looked at today represent the crème de la crème, the best, the most elite; out of that group we were asked to pick 1 that survived the challenge of the last 24 hours, the one who was in the best condition.
"It is my great honor to announce the 2013 Haggin Award goes to: Julioslastchance ridden by Suzanne Hedgecock."
Hedgecock has over 10,800 AERC miles. Julio is a 12-year-old Polish-bred (on the dam's side) Arabian off the racetrack with over 2000 AERC miles, and a record of 39 completions in 43 starts, including 5 of 6 100-mile finishes, with 6 Best Condition Awards over 7 seasons.
It's been a difficult ride for Hedgecock the last few years with health problems in her family; though she has 2 previous Tevis buckles, this year's Tevis experience was very emotional for her. "Just to be out there showing for the Haggin Cup with all those famous people - it was overwhelming.
"I love my horse. I'm lucky to be here. I loved this opportunity."

The Mythical Tevis Cup 2013: Part I
"It's Mythical!" said Nathalie Weemaels, of Ecuador, when asked why she'd come to ride in her first Tevis Cup. She'd be aboard Christoph Shork and Dian Woodward's Pico (SBD), a 9-year-old Arabian gelding. "I want to learn about this kind of endurance riding, so I can show my fellow Ecuadorian riders there is a choice between the flat racing endurance and this kind of endurance riding."
The Tevis Cup has been a mythical institution since Wendell Robie and a handful of friends first proved a horse could do this 100-mile ride in one day from near Truckee, California, to Auburn, California in 1955.
Even if you're not a first timer, the legendary lure of Tevis probably has drawn you back into its web. When you look across the Sierra Nevadas on the drive down that forest road into Robie Park, and know you'll be riding 100 miles over those mountains into Auburn, it can't help but stir your emotions, no matter how many times you've ridden the trail.
And the smitten came again, this year only 161 of them signed up to ride. (Around 200 are usually entered.) "Tevis Gremlins," said Dave Rabe, referring to the low number of entries. Dave came to crew for friends Kerry Redente and Bill Taylor, going for their first Tevis finishes. Dave just recently returned to the endurance trails after a bad accident in December where he fell off his horse and hit his helmet-less head. He wasn't ready to tackle Tevis again though: "I've been having trouble with the heat."
The heat: Mother Nature always plays her part with the Tevis trail and participants, but this year was going to be a particularly hot one. Temperature predicted for Auburn on Saturday was 102° F, which meant those canyons that the horses and riders would be traversing would be even hotter. "The heat is going to make it a ride, not a race," said Kathy Perry, who would be riding her friend Becky Spencer's horse Home Run Derby, a 10-year-old Arabian gelding, in quest of Perry's 22nd Tevis buckle.
Some people prepared for the expected heat, training themselves and their horses during the hottest parts of the days, and putting blankets on their horses while training. Two returning Tevis riders in particular did not have heat training on their side. Kevin Myers and Rusty Toth of Durango, Colorado, only have the mountains and altitude to train in. That is probably a good alternative, as Myers (riding Auli Farwa) and Toth (riding Farraba) finished 3rd and 4th respectively last year, with Toth and Farraba winning the Haggin Cup (Best Condition judging the day after).
This year Toth would be riding 8-year-old Take a Break, with a 13 for 13 record, including 2 100-mile finishes. Myers would be again riding Auli Farwa, a 13-year-old Arabian who has over 3000 miles, and a 50 for 50 record, including 10 100-mile finishes and 3 Tevis buckles. That is after a freak ankle injury almost ended his career before it started at age 5.
"That wasn't the plan," Myers said. "I was going to ride Stoner (Farraba), but he got a girth gall. All the hard training, massages, and supplements went into Stoner, but we pulled Far (Auli Farwa) out of the 'back 40' for this ride." Myers was somewhat exaggerating, as Far's last 2 rides in April and May were two 2nd place finishes and 2 Best Condition awards in two 55-mile rides.
Hal Hall would be going for his 3000-mile Tevis buckle, his 38th attempt at Tevis, riding Fred Emigh's 16-year-old half-Arabian half-Standardbred gelding PR Comet, a horse with a 27 for 27 record, and a 10th place finish in the 2009 Tevis Cup under Mark Engemann.
Barbara White, 65, calls this an annual pilgrimage, and a "spiritual experience." This would be her 43rd Tevis ride, and she'd be going for a record 33 Tevis buckles. (Barbara herself is Mythical to some of us : ). She'd be riding Djubilee, a 12-year-old Arabian mare. With a 37 for 38 record, it would be Djubilee's first Tevis, and first 100-mile ride.
Another pair of endurance legends would be hitting the Tevis trail together. Joyce Sousa - 22,000 AERC miles - and 20-year-old LV Integrity ("Ritzy") - 8000 endurance miles, and 33 100-mile completions - would be going for their 4th Tevis buckle together. The pair most recently won the 100-mile Owyhee Fandango in May, and completed two back-to-back 50-mile rides in June.
Dayna Weary had unfinished business with her horse, 15-year-old The Reverling TGE (Crickett) on this year's Tevis trail. She'd gotten him at 7 and had him for 8 years, but had never ridden the Tevis on him. Some years she had other horses to ride, and 2 of those years were special circumstances. "In 2007 and 2009, Barbara White had needed a horse to ride, so I gave her Crickett to ride. She finished both years, which was fortunate, as those were her 28th and 29th Tevis finishes. That allowed her to get her 30th buckle the next year, which her dad (Bob Suhr) was able to see before he died. That was very special!" There had to be some good Tevis Karma in that. So this year Dayna and Crickett would team up together for the first time to tackle the Tevis trail together. Unfinished Business was the name of her team.
Clara Berner, a 15-year-old Junior from Washington, was back for her 2nd attempt at Tevis on her adorable blue-eyed 12-year-old Arab/Welsh/Paint pony Benjamin. Last year she and her mom Mary Kraus were overtime; this year Clara would ride with her mom, and had Kathy Sherman lined up as a back-up sponsor, in case her mom got pulled. Clara was a not-quite-addicted endurance rider when I first met her at the Owyhee Canyonlands in September of 2009 when she did her first Limited Distance ride, but showing up for Tevis the second time proves that has changed. She and Benjamin have been working hard at the Tevis goal the last 2 years. Benny looked outstanding - buff and fit, one of the fabulous-looking Tevis horses that belonged on this trail. Clara was one of the 10 Junior riders whose entries were sponsored by EasyCare and Echo Valley Ranch.
What stood out to many people at the Vet In at Robie park was the outstanding condition of the horses. I heard it from many people I talked to. "I've never seen so many fabulous-looking horses than here at the Tevis," said Jeff Stuart, an endurance rider there to crew for Andy Bown, going for his 3rd Tevis completion on Tucker, a 14-year-old Arabian gelding. "Unlike some of the FEI competitions," he added.
It is true that 99.9% of this year's Tevis horses looked like outstanding athletes, not too overweight and not too thin (unlike many FEI competitions around the world), and all exceedingly fit. Likely every one of the Tevis riders know exactly what they're getting into and exactly how challenging this course is: 100 miles of rock and dust; cumulative 19,000 feet of ascent and 22,000 feet of descent. "It's a hard ride and it's not for wimps or horses that aren't trained for it," said vet scribe Diana Hiiesalu-Bain, who has seen every aspect of the Tevis Cup, having scribed, crewed, and ridden and completed it. (See her blog entry on Scribing for this year's Tevis.)
The stories go on and on: Utah's Bev Gray and her outstanding Jolly Sickle (37 for 37 rides, 5 of 5 100's and 13 Best Conditions, 11 wins, 1 Tevis buckle), who was ready to "bust out of his skin"; Utah's Sue Hedgecock and LZP Julioslastchance (38 of 42 completions, 4 100-mile completions, 5 Best Conditions) - "I'm just here," Sue said; Stephané Chazel from France returning to attempt his second Tevis completion, riding Potato Richardson's SMR Filouette, who finished in 7th place in last year's Tevis with Willemina DeBoer; Japan's Hiromi Kitaike riding Patrick's Fire, going for her 3rd Tevis buckle in a row; the Blakeley family of 4 from Oregon - father Wasch going for his first Tevis buckle, mother Gabriela going for her 3rd buckle, junior son Barrak going for his 2nd buckle (he was pulled last year, at The Quarry at 96 miles), and junior daughter Sanoma riding in her first Tevis…
The stories would continue on ride day and afterwards, starting at 5:15 AM July 20th, in the 58th running of this mythical Tevis Cup.

The topic says most... but the reason for the question is that as you well know, the BG2:EE has been out for a bit and I doubt that overwriting everything is a good solution in that game. Should you also not yet know, the BP mod has gotten some good updates lately and as the Ascension mod is part of it's content. Now the reason for the actual question is this: If it's not likely that the Ascension mod itself will be updated anytime soon to be fairly well compatible with the BG2:EE, it's likely that we might wish to vision the future of the mod and as such, an unilateral view would be good, as we should try to avoid division of the mod projects.
The invisible topic here is, should we ask DavidW to take the BP's Ascension component as the next standard for the future of SCS or not(indicating an update to this mod would be coming).
Re: Any chance of updatesb to the Ascension ?
There's a group of us led by Cuv updating Ascension. Hold your horses.
2, the BG2 players... who are not expecting this.
3. the BGII EE players.
You might wish to make sure that the three later groups know that this is happening... not that you need to do it yet, but before it is released, not after.
So... any news of that project, or is this considered abandoned?
I'm very interested in an updated version of Ascension. The mod sounds very cool, but I heard of some bugs/problems associated with it, so i hesitate to use it in its current state (v1.4.24).
Re: Any chance of updates to the Ascension ? Yey, apparently yes.
It's just on hold for probably a while longer, since most of us are being flogged into doing other tasks.
Really loved this mod, and would like to play EE with ascension. But seems like it has been basically halted at this point.
If you guys are too busy with real life and other tasks, we certainly understand - but honest answer would be better than persistent silence.
The latest version of Big World Project's pdf file lists version 1.4.23, while weimer's website offers 1.4.24 as the latest version; I'm guessing the information in the pdf is outdated, rather than there actually being an updated version out there?
The version updates from v1.4.x have all been translation related stuff, not bug fixes, so it's kinda same if the BWP uses the v1.4.1, or v1.4.24 ... if it brings it's own translations. ... as noted in the primary components actual version flag, the component name is still ~Ascension v1.41 (requires ToB)~ .

California water managers increase deliveries
Farmers will soon receive 10 percent more water than predicted earlier this month.
Recent storms have boosted water supplies, allowing water managers to increase deliveries to farmers and cities
By Megan Hansen
California's water managers are increasing deliveries to California's cities and farms, saying recent storms have boosted supplies. Today the state Department of Water Resources reported the snowpack has grown to more than 130 percent of normal for this time of year. That means water suppliers will receive 30 percent of their water requests…up from 20 percent promised earlier this month. Mike Young is a fourth generation farmer in Kern County. He says the extra water is always needed… but it's still not enough.
Young: "In some senses it's almost too little too late, because a lot of people have had to make planting decisions three months ago, when we didn't have the comfort to know that we might even have water, and banks weren't lending to grow a crop."
Last year, farmers and cities received 40 percent of their share. But state officials say they cannot provide full water deliveries this year because the rain and snowfall were not enough to reverse three years of drought.
Meanwhile, the April storms that helped maintain the snowpack in the Sierra are also providing a cushion for the Reno area's summer water supply. And the National Weather Service says more snow is possible next week when another wave of unsettled weather moves into the region.

Urea as a hydrogencarrier: a perspective on its potential for safe, sustainable and long-term energy supply

Recently, there have been publications reporting the use of urea, as a source of hydrogen/fuel cell power. There have however been no reports that singularly assess the suitability of urea for this purpose. This article provides not only a perspective on the attributes of urea ((NH2)2CO) as a hydrogen carrier for fuel cells but also presents the findings of a review on the feasibility of utilising the enormous natural resource of urea that exists. Urea is a cheap and widely available commodity with well developed manufacturing infrastructure and a rapidly increasing volume of production. This offers rapid implementation of urea for application as a hydrogen carrier either directly or as a source of ammonia. Compared with other industrial chemicals previously considered, urea has the advantages of being non-toxic, stable, and therefore easy to transport and store. This report reveals that the natural resource of urea could be a solution to long-term future sustainable hydrogen supply and that the present status of scientific knowledge necessary to extract this natural resource is in the most part understood. It is considered realistic that these sustainable routes could be exploited if they are given sufficient focus of research attention.

An in depth look at Saint Joseph's non-conference schedule
Grant Labedz
Posted onJul 21, 2016 at 4:39 PM
The Saint Joseph's Hawks released their non-conference schedule for the 2016-17 season this past week, and the 2016 A-10 Tournament Champions are going to have quite a few tough tests before reaching conference play. Though the Hawks will be without leading scorers Isaiah Miles and DeAndre' Bembry this coming season, they'll still have a number of weapons, including head coach Phil Martelli, who can get the job done. Let's take a look at each of Saint Joseph's matchups individually.
Saint Joseph's vs. Toledo, Saturday, November 12th
The Hawks will begin the 2016-17 season with a home game against the Toledo Rockets. Toledo is coming off a 17-15 season in the MAC. The Rockets lose leading scorer and rebounder Nathan Boothe (19.3 and 9.0) but will return pretty much everyone else. Colorado transfer Tre'Shaun Fletcher and Marquette transfer Steve Taylor Jr. will be great additions to this squad, and Toledo should be one of the better teams in the MAC next season. Saint Joseph's should still be a solid favorite at home, but the Rockets will be looking to upset.
Saint Joseph's vs. Columbia, Monday, November 14th
After just one day of rest, the Hawks will have to get ready for their next home opponent, the Columbia Lions. One of a handful of teams to go out with a win last season, Columbia won the 2016 CollegeInsiders.com Tournamet over UC Irvine and will look to be a solid contender in the Ivy League next season. Though this team will lose quite a few seniors, it still has an impressive array of rising seniors that will help get the job done. The Hawks narrowly escaped Columbia 80-78 last season.
Saint Joseph's vs. Loyola-Chicago (Paradise Jam), Friday, November 18th
The Hawks will be playing in the 2016 Paradise Jam, and will have a first round battle with Loyola-Chicago. Though this team finished 15-17 last season, it did manage to beat a solid Creighton team and an NCAA Tournament team in Northern Iowa twice. Though this won't be a "gimme" game for the Hawks, I'd expect them to be able to handle the Ramblers and advance to the Championship game.
Saint Joseph's vs. Ole Miss/Oral Roberts (Paradise Jam), Saturday, November 19th or Sunday, November 20th
Depending on the outcome of the first game in this year's Paradise Jam, the Hawks will play either Ole Miss or Oral Roberts in the 2nd round. Oral Roberts will have some work to do if it wants to beat Ole Miss, but it still returns a lot of talent from last season. The Rebels will miss leading scorer Stefan Moody (23.6 PPG), but Sebastian Saiz will be back for his senior season. Saint Joseph's could get a very intriguing matchup against Ole Miss if both teams make it to the 2nd round.
Saint Joseph's vs. Creighton/NC State/Washington St/Montana (Paradise Jam), Monday, November 21st
Depending on how the first two rounds of this tournament go, the Hawks could be facing any of these four teams in the third round. I'd expect the Creighton Jays to be the favorites to win this entire tournament, especially with incoming transfer Marcus Foster. That being said, NC State should be a solid team once again, and the Wolf Pack could make a run to the Championship as well. If the Hawks could find a way to win this tournament in St. Thomas, it'd be a huge boost to their NCAA Tournament resume.
Saint Joseph's vs. Temple, Wednesday, November 30th
After a well-deserved break from basketball, the Hawks will return home and face an injured Temple Owls team. Though the Owls were the American Conference Champions in the 2015-16 season, things could be different with current injuries threatening Temple's chances of competing for another title. This should be an exciting rivalry game between two Philly teams that are both usually pretty good. I'd expect Saint Joseph's to have the slight edge in this game, but if the Owls get healthy, they could win on the road.
Saint Joseph's @ Villanova, Saturday, December 3rd
The 2016 NCAA Tournament Champions will be back, and it wouldn't be surprising to see them make another magical postseason run. Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins will both be leading this team next year, and this is going to be a very hard matchup for the Hawks. Villanova beat Saint Joseph's 86-72 in Hawk Hill last season, but I'd expect this year's outcome to be even more lopsided. Villanova is going to be good, and regardless of the outcome, this will be a great way for the Hawks to get some experience before conference play.
Saint Joseph's @ Drexel, Sunday, December 11th
Drexel was atrocious last season, but that didn't stop the Dragons from almost taking down Saint Joseph's in the Hawks' home opener. Though Saint Joseph's escaped with an 82-81 victory, it was definitely a scare for this team. The Dragons won just 6 games last season, and I wouldn't expect them to be too much better this year. I'm sure they'll be playing with a chip on their shoulder against their Philly rivals this season, and the game will be at Drexel. Saint Joseph's has to come out of this one with a win.
Saint Joseph's @ Princeton, Wednesday, December 14th
Saint Joseph's game at Princeton will be a return game for a home-and-home series that began last season. The Hawks took down the Tigers 62-50 in Hawk Hill, but Princeton will return all 5 of its starters from last year. I could see Princeton having what it takes to pull the upset here, given that the game is being played in New Jersey. The Hawks have the talent to compete, but the Tigers could be starting 5 seniors next season.
Saint Joseph's @ Illinois State, Sunday, December 18th
Another return game in a home-and-home series, Saint Joseph's will travel to play Illinois State next season. The Redbirds are coming off an 18-14 season, but they were able to notch some big wins at home. Taking down Wichita St. and Northern Iowa, Illinois State was 11-3 at home last season. The Hawks were road warriors last season, but Redbird Arena is never an easy place to play. Illinois State keeps 3 double digit scorers from last season. In addition, it'll bring in talented transfers that include Saint Louis' Milik Yarbrough. Again, this is a game you cannot sleep on if you are Saint Joseph's.
Saint Joseph's vs. Lafayette, Wednesday, December 21st
This should be a tune-up game for the Hawks. The Leopards were horrible last season, winning just 6 games overall and 3 in conference play. There should be no way that Saint Joseph's drops a home game to a team like this, but stranger things have happened. Look for the Hawks to roll through this team.
Saint Joseph's vs. Penn (Palestra), Saturday, January 21st
In the middle of conference play the Hawks will take a break from the A-10 and face Penn in the historic game at the Palestra. The Hawks will be facing their 3rd Ivy League team in the Quakers, and this could be one of the easier ones to beat. Saint Joseph's took down Penn 75-60 last season, and Penn shouldn't be a ton better this season, though they do have some talented sophomores on the rise. I'd expect the Hawks to get the win at the Palestra.

Welsh College Learners best ever sporting success at UK national championships
The Welsh colleges' hopes of performing well in a selection of sports at the AoC National Championship were rewarded last weekend, as they finished in 8th place.
Celebrating one of the best performances ever at the three day championship between 26-28 April, Wales' strong team of approximately 200 students competed in 14 different sports.
Welsh college learners joined 11 regions across three countries to battle it out in a variety of sports, from rugby, to hockey to golf and table tennis. The Welsh team really pulled together in all areas showing great team spirit and sportsmanship throughout.
Recognising the effort of all competing learners, Robert Baynham, Sport Coordinator at ColegauCymru who supported the Welsh colleges in Nottingham, said "what a great weekend of competitions, with Wales winning medals and performing better than ever before".
Medals won included:
Women's Rugby – Gold
Women's Hockey – Silver
Women's Cross Country – Bronze – team event
Women's Cross Country – Bronze – Individual
Men's Table Tennis – Silver
Some notable 4th places also included Women's Football and Ability Counts football
The full results for the championships can be found HERE
Iestyn Davies, Chief Executive of ColegauCymru added "the opportunity for our Welsh learners to compete against the best from the UK and perform at an event as prestigious as this is fantastic, and certainly something for each and every one to be proud of. A huge thanks to everyone from Wales, learners, staff, supporting and governing bodies and families of the competitors."
The team was supported by sponsorship from Cardiff Metropolitan University and CollegesWales Sport. College staff provided some top flight coaching with a number of former international players and managers getting involved in the squad. Support from governing bodies including Welsh Schools Athletics and the Welsh Rugby Union in particular was also an added advantage in identifying athletes for the Wales team.
The success of the team is a real reflection of the opportunities that FE colleges provide in sport, providing learners with access to top level competitive sport and opportunities to represent their colleges and country. ColegauCymru and CollegesWales Sport would like to thank all of the people involved in achieving this success over the weekend and look forward to another successful championships next year.
The event saw a former Grŵp Llandrillo Menai learner and aspiring Journalist Patrick Hinchcliffe volunteering to report on all three days activities and interviewing competitors. Read more HERE about what Patrick captured from the weekend.
Also please find a full report HERE on the Cross country competition from the Welsh Athletics website.

(Noun)	Famous 1897-1937(?) American aviatrix. First woman to fly the Atlantic non-stop solo. Disappeared, probably near tiny Howland Island in the Pacific while trying a multi-stage circumnavigation of the globe. "Lady Lindy": a reference to Charles "Lucky Lindy" Lindbergh - because of her fame in aviation and her appearance: tall, tousled, good-looking, slightly minatory.
Usage: Theories about what happened to Amelia Earhart continue to the present. The likeliest and most prosaic is that she was lost when her plane crashed and sank. The most dramatic is that she was deliberately overflying and photographing Japanese-mandated islands which were widely thought to be being fortified - in violation of international law: she crash-landed, and the Japanese executed her. A futile exercise: "Turning on the landing lights for Amelia Earhart".


The Diehl VS81 Veneer Splicer is designed to splice long length veneers, custom veneers or high end veneers which require no visible joint line. Traditional splicing requires taping or stitching joints which is more labor intensive and requires more sanding. The VS-81 eliminates this need. Veneers with pre-glued edges are fed into the VS-81 Splicer which accurately carries them through upper and lower heating bars, firmly bonding the edges, to form a perfect seamless joint. The VS81 is equipped with metal lower chains and upper pressure pads.
The Diehl VS-82 Veneer Splicer is similar to the VS-81 except it is equipped with the exclusive non-marking, lubrication-free Diehl "Poly 2000" lower chains and upper pressure pads to eliminate staining on certain species of wood.

Q: Are there any A.I. resources that explain the concepts and present source code? Are there any A.I. resources that explain the concepts and present source code, similarly to AI Horizon?
I've read books and research papers but they generally present a conceptual approach, without really delving into the source code of it.

A: Books

*

*Programming Game AI by Example, by Mat Buckland.
Covers lots of gound, with good code examples on the CD for everything in the book. Notably, includes State Machines, Goal Driven Behaviour, Path Finding/Planning and Fuzzy Logic.

*AI Techniques for Game Programming, by Mat Buckland.
The book name is a bit of a misnomer. It's about Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms. The implementations are in a game format, but the information is more general. Again, all of the source is available on the CD.

*AI Game Programming Wisdom Series, by Steve Rabin.
The series is formatted like the Game Programming Gems series, ie. they're a collection of articles written by industry professionals and professors. The size of the articles makes them easily digestible in chunks. Some of the articles provide implementations, some are more 'high level' descriptions.

*Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig.
The book's website has the has the source code for the algorithms presented in the book, in several languages. There is also a discussion group, where you can post questions or start a discussion about the material in the book.
Communities & tutorials

*

Strong Bayern squad for late-July US tour
Allianz Arena in US national colours
Created on 05-07-2018 at 10:30 AM
Increase font size Text size
From 23 July, FC Bayern Munich will spend a week in North America and play two friendly matches. Following previous tours in 2014 and 2016, the motto for the third Audi Summer Tour USA will again be "Visiting Friends". On 25 July, the German record champions will meet their Italian counterparts Juventus in Philadelphia (tickets), followed by a meeting with reigning English champions Manchester City in Miami on July 28 (tickets).
The attractive matches form part of the now established International Champions Cup (ICC). New Bayern head coach Niko Kovac will also use them as important tests as he prepares his team for the new season. Kovac will have a strong squad at his disposal, including Arjen Robben, Franck Ribéry, Arturo Vidal, David Alaba, Javi Martínez, Kingsley Coman, Rafinha, Juan Bernat, Sandro Wagner, Sven Ulreich, Serge Gnabry and Renato Sanches.
To set the mood for the US tour, the Allianz Arena was illuminated at night on Wednesday this week, American Independence Day (4 July), in the colours of the US national flag.
"Our summer tours are an important part of our strategy to compete in international markets with the big European clubs from England, Spain, Italy and France," commented FC Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. "America is one of our focus countries. With the 2026 World Cup being awarded to the USA, Canada and Mexico, the USA has now become even more important."
FC Bayern opened its New York office in 2014. Since then, the club has concluded important agreements with partners such as Columbia University and youth football organisation Global Premier Soccer. Through its representative office in New York, FC Bayern has been able to expand and intensify its ties with American fans and the wider public.
FC Bayern Munich now has around 27 million followers in the USA. Since 2014, the number of fan clubs has increased tenfold to 138 in 39 states. FC Bayern now boasts agreements with seven companies headquartered in the USA, including Goodyear, Procter & Gamble, Beats by Dre, EA Sports and OXiGEN. A first sporting cooperation was arranged with FC Dallas in February. Its goals are the promotion of talent and the exchange of training philosophies.
FC Bayern Board Member for Internationalization and Strategy Jörg Wacker said: "The Audi Summer Tour is a key element in expanding our brand even more strongly in the global world. At the same time, our American fans have the opportunity to experience our stars up close. We look forward to the top games against Juventus Turin and Manchester City, the champions from Italy and England respectively."

"Frenzied" –Strange, Monster Galaxy at Dawn of the Universe
Posted on Feb 5, 2020 in Astronomy, Cosmos, Galaxies, Science, Universe
"Even before the universe was 2 billion years old, XMM-2599 had already formed a mass of more than 300 billion suns, making it an ultramassive galaxy," said Ben Forrest, a postdoctoral researcher at the UC Riverside about galaxy XMM-2599, that formed stars at a high rate and then inexplicably died. "More remarkably, we show that XMM-2599 formed most of its stars in a huge frenzy when the universe was less than one billion years old, and then became inactive by the time the universe was only 1.8 billion years old."
"In this epoch, very few galaxies have stopped forming stars, and none are as massive as XMM-2599," said Gillian Wilson, a professor of physics and astronomy at UCR in whose lab Forrest works. "The mere existence of ultramassive galaxies like XMM-2599 proves quite a challenge to numerical models. Even though such massive galaxies are incredibly rare at this epoch, the models do predict them. The predicted galaxies, however, are expected to be actively forming stars. What makes XMM-2599 so interesting, unusual, and surprising is that it is no longer forming stars, perhaps because it stopped getting fuel or its black hole began to turn on. Our results call for changes in how models turn off star formation in early galaxies."
The research team using spectroscopic observations from the W. M. Keck Observatory's powerful Multi-Object Spectrograph for Infrared Exploration, or MOSFIRE, to make detailed measurements of XMM-2599 and precisely quantify its distance, found XMM-2599 formed more than 1,000 solar masses a year in stars at its peak of activity — an extremely high rate of star formation. In contrast, the Milky Way forms about one new star a year.
"XMM-2599 may be a descendant of a population of highly star-forming dusty galaxies in the very early universe that new infrared telescopes have recently discovered," said Danilo Marchesini, an associate professor of astronomy at Tufts University and a co-author on the study.
Evolutionary Pathway Unclear
"We have caught XMM-2599 in its inactive phase," Wilson said. "We do not know what it will turn into by the present day. We know it cannot lose mass. An interesting question is what happens around it. As time goes by, could it gravitationally attract nearby star-forming galaxies and become a bright city of galaxies?"
"Perhaps during the following 11.7 billion years of cosmic history, XMM-2599 will become the central member of one of the brightest and most massive clusters of galaxies in the local universe," said co-author Michael Cooper, a professor of astronomy at UC Irvine, said this outcome is a strong possibility. "Alternatively, it could continue to exist in isolation. Or we could have a scenario that lies between these two outcomes."
"We identified XMM-2599 as an interesting candidate with imaging alone," said co-author Marianna Annunziatella, a postdoctoral researcher at Tufts University one of the team that was awarded more time at the Keck Observatory to follow up on unanswered questions prompted by XMM-2599. "We used Keck to better characterize and confirm its nature and help us understand how monster galaxies form and die. MOSFIRE is one of the most efficient and effective instruments in the world for conducting this type of research."
Image at the top of the page is an artist's impression of what a massive galaxy in the early universe might look like. The galaxy is undergoing an explosion of star formation, lighting up the gas surrounding the galaxy. Thick clouds of dust obscure most of the light, causing the galaxy to look dim and disorganized, very different from galaxies seen today.

Q: PHP - Managing Session - Doesnt Logout I have created a user authentication system with necessary DB tables and php.
THe first time before I login (Before any SESSION is created) the redirect on every page works perfect (ie Redirects to the login page if not logged in).
But once I login with a user and then logout the same doesnt work. I think it might be a problem with not ending the SESSION (Sorry if am wrong)
Here are some pieces of the code in each Page
Login PHP
    <?php
session_start();
$message="";
if(count($_POST)>0)
{
    include('config.php');
    echo $_POST['username'];
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='" . $_POST["username"] . "' and password = '". $_POST["password"]."'");
    $row  = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    if(is_array($row))
    {
    $_SESSION["id"] = $row[ID];
    $_SESSION["username"] = $row[username];
    $_SESSION["password"] = $row[password];
    $_SESSION["mname"] = $row[mname];
    $_SESSION["fname"] = $row[fname];
    date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta");
    $lastlog=date("d/m/Y");
    $logtime=date("h:i a");
    $query = "UPDATE `members` SET `lastlogin`='$lastlog',`logintime`='$logtime' WHERE `ID`='$row[ID]'";
    mysql_query($query);
    $_SESSION['logged'] = TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
        echo "<SCRIPT>
        alert('Wrong Username/Password or Awaiting Approval');
        </SCRIPT>";
        header("Location:login_failed.html");
    }
}
if(isset($_SESSION["id"])) {
header("Location:member/myprofile.php");
}
?>

PHP code on every page
<?php
session_start();
include('config.php');
if(!$_SESSION['logged'])
{
header("Location: ../login.html");
exit;
} ?>

And Finally Logout
    <?php
session_start();
unset($_SESSION["id"]);
unset($_SESSION["username"]);
unset($_SESSION["password"]);
unset($_SESSION["mname"]);
unset($_SESSION["fname"]);
header("Location:../login.html");
?>

Is there any problem with my Code. Am i missing something? I couldn't get it right. Pls Help
Thanks guys got it solved..
Now can you tell me  How I can redirect login.php to user home page(myprofile.php) in case the User is logged in (Session exists) - Like facebook,gmail etc

A: Instead of calling unset() on each session var, you can simply use session_destroy(), which will destroy all of the current session data.
session_start();
session_destroy();
header("Location:../login.html");

For complete destructive power, you might also want to kill the session cookie:
setcookie(session_name(), '', 1);

See this question for a more complete example of session logout.

A: You need to unset $_SESSION['logged']
Also you should reference keys in the $row variable with strings. Eg $row['username'];.
Turning on E_NOTICE level warnings with error_reporting will help you with this.

A: If you haven't already, reset the session login
unset($_SESSION['logged']);

Or just change it to false
$_SESSION['logged'] = false;

A: When you are directly hitting a page in address bar for the first time then its a new request which goes to the server and server checks for existing session as written in your code. But its not same when you are pressing back button after logout. In this case there is no request is going to the server instead the request is fetched from browser cache. If you want to disable this situation then you have to tell browser explicitly to not to store your page in cache memory. For more detail please go through this link

To ensure there is compassionate, competent and consistent care and support for all who are open to receive it.
More specifically, we visit those within our circle of care who are not able to get out and may be in hospital, in a senior's residence, in a long term care facility or at home.
We aim to bring comfort in the form that is needed – a light hearted conversation, a prayer (if desired) or just by being a quiet, reassuring presence.
Who is the Pastoral Care Visiting Team?
We are a group of people from the congregation who feel called to visit persons who are lonely, ill or shut-in. Our members are compassionate, good listeners, trustworthy and understand the importance of confidentiality.
We make monthly (or more frequent) visits to various homes and seniors' facilities.
We make weekly visits to the hospital.
We meet together on the third Wednesday of every month (except July and August) in the church hall for fellowship , to coordinate visits and to resolve any problems that may arise.
We provide training for new members in the delivery of appropriate, effective, ethical and respectful pastoral care.
If you are interested in joining us, we welcome new members to this important Ministry. If you know of someone who would like a visit or if you would like to be visited yourself, please contact Martha Scales at 250 832-4119 or leave a message with the church office.
In January, 2011, a new volunteer position was created to coordinate the many individuals and groups providing formal and informal pastoral care to others.
Rev. Gloria Christian is our new Pastoral Care Coordinator. See the Pastoral Care Pamphlet for all the details.


A race of white deer collect forgotten thoughts and memories in the thread between their antlers. A greedy king sets out to capture one but when he brings it into daylight the deer turns to gold and the thread he took and tied to his finger suddenly begins erasing his memories. By the time he cuts off his finger to free himself, all he can remember is that he is king. Years later his son creates a Chain-of-Offices to remind himself of his father's shortcomings.


Docplexus, India's largest community of Doctors practicing modern medicine, created history by crossing the 300K member recently. This remarkable feat was achieved within 5 years of inception. Doctors across 94 specialities from 1,500 towns and cities routinely use Docplexus resources in their clinical practice.
With a mission of Empowering Doctors, Docplexus educates and updates physicians with the latest developments in medicine. Docplexians derive huge benefit from our offerings like clinical case studies, treatment guidelines, online CME (continuing medical education) courses, KOL (Key Opinion Leader) webinars, policy updates, KOL interviews, and Docplexus News.
We constantly roll out initiatives that keep doctors engaged and active on the portal. Special days such as World Heart Day, Doctors' Day, etc. are leveraged to acknowledge their service to society. We recently introduced two new series – A Day in the Life of a Doctor (ADILOD) and The Key Opinion. ADILOD is a short feature film that showcases the relentless services of leading doctors, capturing a day in their busy lives. The Key Opinion is an interview series where renowned doctors talk about latest treatment techniques in their therapy area, share advice on improving practice, and their message for the community.
As their Knowledge Partner, Docplexus helps these associations communicate and collaborate with doctors regarding different initiatives. We also cover their events/conferences and host the coverage on a dedicated microsite on our portal so it can be viewed by our members at their convenience.
Docplexus bridges the communication gap between Pharma and Doctors and has emerged as the trusted marketing partner of 30+ pharma companies.
To celebrate this milestone, we came out with a video that tells why Docplexus is where it is and thanking doctors for continuing to trust us.
Sheetal Sathe is Marketing Manager at Docplexus, a global online community of doctors.

Excerpt: he food and sundries available at Amazon Go aren't the kinds of products typically associated with the retailer that one might find at one of its bookstores. These stores represent a futuristic but ultimately fractional part of the retailer's push into groceries, the massive market that is developing into its fiercest battlefield with Walmart. Of course, its main incursion is via its Whole Foods supermarket acquisition. For now, Amazon seems more focused on reducing prices at the organics-focused chain. But the number of Go stores may soon rival or exceed the number of Whole Foods' markets, as Amazon has announced plans to open thousands of the 7-Eleven competitors in the coming years as it contemplates smaller and larger versions that can accept filthy greenbacks.

Not Present: Rhoda Geduld, Ladd Hagmaier
Art Swenka called the meeting to order at 2:00 PM
The Pledge of Allegiance was said by all present.
A quorum was met with eight directors present.
AGENDA: Jo Ornaheim made a motion to accept the agenda with one addition under 'New Business: B. New Ownership Report – Dixie Swenka.' John Griego seconded and all directors approved it.
MINUTES: Dixie Swenka made a motion to accept the minutes from the July 20, 2017 meeting as submitted. Jo Ornaheim seconded the motion, and all directors approved it.
A. Randy Wright and Dixie Swenka reported on the review of the bylaws and made recommendations on needed revisions. These included changes to the fiscal year; terms of office for officers and directors; notice of meetings; director emeritus status and amendment of bylaws. John Griego motioned that the bylaws revisions with noted changes be approved. Bill Simms seconded the motion, and it was approved by more than a two-thirds vote of the directors (seven yeas and one abstention). A copy of the approved changes is attached as a Word.doc titled "Review and Revision of KXNM 88.7 Community Foundation Bylaws."
B. Dixie Swenka described the process of completing and reporting the New Ownership Report required by the FCC. Dixie distributed a questionnaire, which included identifying and contact information for each director. The station's attorney will complete the report and provide a Federal Registration Number (FRN) and password for each director.
TREASURER'S REPORT: John Griego provided and explained a detailed P&L Statement and Balance Sheet through August 16, 2017. The reports included additional information about accrued funds to repay the county for the transmitter purchase and more detailed lines about revenue and expenses.

The discussion focused on how the station is officially notified about road closures; power outages; fires; flooding and other emergencies, and the process to broadcast emergency alerts.
The station has some contacts, who provide emergency information for broadcasting, but there are notable exceptions with the Sheriff's Office and Highway Department among others. The directors recommended that a meeting be held with officials from the Sheriff's Office, Highway Patrol, Emergency Management, Fire Department and Highway Department and others with the purpose of improving the station's ability to make emergency notifications.
Bill also reported on other feedback from listeners who are concerned about changes in programming, especially the broadcast schedule and shows that are not longer broadcast including, X-plore the Back 40, Firearms Safety and Equine Compass. These shows are archived, and can easily be added back into the programming schedule.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Art Swenka reported on the need to shut-off the transmitter within the three minute notification time-frame required by the FCC. Art is working with John Chidester to accomplish this. Art is also focusing on attracting new underwriters and servicing existing and inactive underwriters.
A. Randy Wright distributed forms documenting In-kind Professional Services for FY 2017 and for July and August 2017.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday September 20, 2017 at 2 pm at the KXNM Offices and Studios in McIntosh.

Sanders highlights press reporting on confidential material using debunked example
By Brett Samuels - 08/01/18 03:22 PM EDT
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday criticized the media for reporting on classified information, but in doing so cited an example that has been widely debunked.
Sanders was asked during Wednesday's press briefing about the harassment CNN correspondent Jim Acosta faced at President Trump Donald John TrumpAmash responds to 'Send her back' chants at Trump rally: 'This is how history's worst episodes begin' McConnell: Trump 'on to something' with attacks on Dem congresswomen Trump blasts 'corrupt' Puerto Rico's leaders amid political crisis MORE's rally in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday night. She denounced violence of any sort but suggested the media should not report on certain sensitive subjects.
"The president does think that the media holds a responsibility — we fully support a free press but there also comes a high level of responsibility with that," Sanders said.
"The media routinely reports on classified information and government secrets that put lives in danger and risk valuable national security tools," she added.
She highlighted a report in the late 1990s that disclosed U.S. officials were able to listen in on Osama bin Laden's satellite phone.
She blamed the press for alerting bin Laden to the tactic, saying he stopped using the phone and "the country lost valuable intelligence" as a result.
However, as multiple reporters quickly noted on Twitter, the report Sanders referred to has been deemed an "urban myth." Multiple factors likely played into bin Laden's decision to ditch the satellite phone, and there were a number of press reports over the course of several years acknowledging his use of the device.
The Washington Post detailed the controversy surrounding the reporting in 2005. It noted that information on bin Laden's use of a satellite phone to communicate with aides was reported as early as 1996. The source of that information was the Taliban, not a U.S. government leak.
A second report in 1997 on bin Laden's use of the phone was sourced to the al Qaeda leader himself, the Post reported.
A Washington Times report on the satellite phone in August 1998 came one day after the U.S. launched missile strikes on al Qaeda training facilities, the Post reported. The Bush administration later blamed the Times's article for revealing sources and methods.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report on Sept. 7, 1998, that the U.S. had intercepted bin Laden's phone calls. The al Qaeda leader had likely already stopped using his phone at that time, according to the Post.
Sanders on Wednesday did not reference a specific article in the bin Laden case but used the decades-old example to take issue with the current media climate of reporting on otherwise secretive government programs and deliberations.
"We certainly support a free press, we certainly condemn violence against anybody, but we also ask that people act responsibly," she said.
Her criticism echoed that of President Trump, who on Sunday called the press "unpatriotic" for reporting on government affairs.
"When the media - driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome - reveals internal deliberations of our government, it truly puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk! Very unpatriotic!" Trump tweeted.
The Trump administration has had a tense relationship with the press, with the president frequently deriding media coverage he dislikes as "fake news" and encouraging his rally crowds to jeer reporters in attendance.

Add a new Eze-Breeze 3-season room to your Greensboro, Winston Salem or Piedmont Triad area home!
One of the most popular things we build, here in the Piedmont Triad area, is 3-season rooms with Eze-Breeze windows. An Eze-Breeze window system is a 4-track clear vinyl window system that transforms your screened porch into a multi-season room.
Three-season rooms using this vinyl window system are as beautiful as they are functional.
Take a look at the photo above. You can see how incredibly clear the vinyl windows are. They are also super easy to clean. The windows in the system above are closed. You can see the 4 sections of each window. The system is a vertical track system. Easily lift the windows to open 25%, 50% or 75%.
Take a look at how the 4-track window system works.


Welcome to The Alexander Technique and Beyond!
Writing a blog is a new venture for me and I am really excited about the potential for spreading news about the work I do and how it might help you or someone you know!
I think of this as a journey. I'm not sure where I am going or exactly how to get there, but I move forward with curiosity and as much wisdom as I can muster at the moment. There will be detours and dead ends, I'm sure, for life is like that. But to stay in one place is not an option, either.
