I had to read your response twice- 2009??!!
Yep, you read that right SLH, DDay was late in '09, I've been on this freaking rollercoster for over 2 years!! He made a chaneg late last year and things did improve (to the point where sex resumed but not without it's difficluties) but it wasn't enough improvement in me for him to sustain his changed behaviour (in other words, if he doesn't get what he wants why bother?)
Hunny, your basically trying to heal from the death of a loved one- no one should EVER dare to put a time frame on that!
He asks me to "move forward" without giving me what I need to heal, "giving" being the operative word there. He has met most of my requirements but frankly, not with good grace IYKWIM some have been met begrudgingly at best, some sporadically and some not at all. I need that consistency of actions from him to believe he truly has changed and is not just placating me IYKWIM
My grandmother passed away in 2002 and I still think about her everyday and dream about her. I still have my sobbing moments. H has NEVER NOT ONCE EVER told me to get over it, it's the closest thing I can think of to compare his pain of my A to, you don't want to think of it and you want to heal, but you can't help the triggers and you can't help the sadness. No one wants to hurt forever. No one like pain, but we have cycles at times of our ups and downs, that's why a lot of times BS's on here refer to that as the roller coaster.
My WH has never understood the death analogy as he says "he's not dead" **shakes head** he has also expressed the opinion that I purposely stay in pain as a way to "punish" him (it really is all about him) He's actually said to me "If you don't want to feel this way anymore, just stop"
It sounds like your H has A LOT of work to do. He better get in and hold on tight or get the hell off 'cause this ride ain't over!
LOL... SLH he thinks he has done a LOT of work... Hmmm, he refuses IC as he doesn't need it (he thinks it's all a bunch of malarky) he knows his "why"... he was "selfish, entitled and depressed"... and "not thinking clearly"... not good enough IMO he needs to dig deeper but I think perhaps that scares him a bit too much.
((((Want To Wake Up))))
Thanks for the hugs, today I could use those.
We've tried MC but finding one around here that has experience dealing with the aftermath of infidelity is a hard ask. The last one we saw wanted me to accept that this was the way he was and just accept the crumbs he offered me if I wanted to stay in the marriage. I was to change, not him... how do these people stay in business? I did see an IC for a while but atm IC is unavailable to me due to finances so I have no one to talk anything over with.
"Unhappy marriages don't cause infidelity. Being unfaithful causes infidelity."
MY WH proclaimed this deep soul mate feelings for his AP. Why not just go?
What purpose was it for to lie to me over and over? What was the purpose of hurting the one that was your soul mate(not me the AP). Leave already.
Can anyone just admit you stayed for finances? or because it was comfortable?
After all this time I struggle with the fact that my WH is a really bad person. He hurt me and he hurt his AP his supposed soul mate. I don't really feel sorry for her- just what the heck? I married my WS because he was a kind person. Who is this person I married- I feel like I am sleeping with the enemy.
Most of all I felt I married a man of integrity. Is this integrity now coming out as a man who is just staying because of the dreaded obligations.
1. changed his cell phone number he had for 7 years.
2. is accountable for where he is.
3. stopped going out to bars/clubs
4. stopped using/selling illicit drugs and drinking so much alchol.
5. fired the friends he was hanging out with and cheating with.
6. comes home right after work and had made me and the baby his priority.
7. was in ic/mc
8. did n/c with ow while i was on the phone. told her that he was married and to never call him again or there would be dire consequences.
9. in church weekly with me and the baby.
these are a few of the things he is doing...we still have a hard time talking about the affair. he says he has so much shame. i know everything...all the gory details. i am just not sure what else he can do. sometimes it seems like he cant do enough.
There are some days when I realize I haven't thought about it. Those times are usually related to time spent with BW and kids, and also when work gets busy. When I have down time, those are the times when I have thoughts of what I did. It's my guess that the remorseful WS will think about the A for a long time. Over time, the thoughts and feelings associated with it change. Eventually it sort of becomes a non-issue. It just isn't at the forefront of everything anymore.
The things you list are a great start. They sort of create a stable foundation which is actually pretty easy to maintain. IMO, they are the low-hanging fruit.
What else is he doing? He hasn't overcome his shame yet, so there is some work to do there yet. If you need to talk about it, and he can't bring himself to do that because he is uncomfortable with that, then there is still some work to do. Are you satisfied with his "why"?
As far as your IC saying you can't trust a cheater, that is bullshit. That conversation has occurred many times here on SI and while some people will always lie, being a cheater or not does not determine whether you are a life-long liar or not.
Sometimes what the WS says is the action. In this case, your WH can't talk about the A very easily. That is the action you should be looking at. As he becomes more comfortable talking about it, the presumption would be that he is working to own his shit, and that is a huge action that can only be judged in your situation by the words coming out of his mouth. But I also imagine that when he get to that point of talking about it, when you are sitting face to face having that conversation, you will know by the expression on his face, by the look in his eyes, and by his body language that he has done the work and that he will continue to do the work.
Why then when I told him to go to her (we do have financial committments but I am basically managing these by myself so he knows I could do it and she has her own place anyway) did he choose not to? I have asked him this, he says he loves me more. How can he though when he spent new year with her in the height of their a and not me, dumped me on my parents so he could have her round our house and palmed me off on work trips days early where I was stuck on my own so he could go out with her on her birthday???
I have a whole heap of o/s questions and even though I can't seem to fix our relationship, I still feel the need for closure on these things which I probably will never get. I have read through the q&a on here and they do help to get some points of view on the sticky subjects but I'll always wonder what my wh reasons were?
Specifically, why did he carry the a on after I found out and have a further ons with ow1 a few months down the line. He says nothing had changed and the ons was a mistake???
Why did he have the subsequent ea/suspected pas?
Why must he indulge in inaapropriate chit chat with other women?
Why does he stil lie even when I find things through my snooping and don't believe a word he says?
Why did he register for adult fun on dating websites when supposedly working on r?
And my biggest biggest bug bear.....how could you do any of this to me if you loved me, how could you bring the ow in to our house, do our special stuff, but me on the back burner for them and then lie, lie and lie some more - why didn't you once think about me. Where is the love in any of that?
The first date I had with my wife she said dont put me on a pedestal I will fall. I thought highly of her, but I never saw her as perfect or put her on a pedestal. But I did treat her better than anyone ever had, and I loved her like no one ever had. I have a concept of me that includes a high level of integrity, compassion and kindness as well as trying to do my best. My wife showed the same traits to me. We are not perfect and sometimes when we slip our partner is disappointed. Lord knows I have disappointed her time and again. But I never had the expectation that she would not slip in some ways. She is human and none of us are perfect.
She perceived that I put her on a pedestal. She had the pressure of the pedestal she thought I had her sitting on. There was a list of things that made her human, not perfect and I loved her. I loved her not in spite of these things or because of these things, but because I loved her with these things, I loved the whole person. I married and took the vows for better or worse, but I lived that from nearly the start of our relationship before we were married.
I did have a perfect expectation - that my wife would never stab me in the back and have relations with another man (EA or PA). After the PA happened and we started to work through it, there was no question this was my expectation and it was not unreasonable. That is not a pedestal. In my opinion that is standing on the curb and not in the gutter. And she did it again repeatedly (for 3 or 4 years).
I guess where I come out on this is yes, the pedestal was real to her. Yes there were things about me and our relationship that she could internalize and feel that pressure. So what made her feel this way why was the pedestal her reality, why did she feel the pressure, and why was this a factor in her betraying me?
OK so that was long the questions I have are did anyone have this as part of their why, what did that look like for you and what helped you figure it out?
the truth is that we have been married for almost 7 years...i was pregnant during the affair...and my husband ended it when the baby was born. he supposedly told the ow he "got married" to "do the right thing and marry his pregnant girlfriend." the truth was that he was married to his pregnant wife the whole time.
is he embarrassed that i talked to the mistress? guilty and shame maybe? like all of his business is really out in the open? does he feel like fool...because he clearly got away with nothing?
i am sure that he never dreamed in a million years that i would be talking to his mistress when he was having his "fun."
maybe he is just mortified????
My WS best friend introduced him to OW. WS and friend would go on trips with the OW's. My WS is hesitate to give up the friendship completely. Friend is also a business acquaitanCe.

Gotta love the life that we livin'
I also built elaborate structures of lies in my affairs. Some of my APs knew I was married, but there were some to whom I said that I was single or divorced. I knew that I had no intention of leaving my husband, and I would tell my APs that which I thought would best prevent them from causing trouble when the time came to leave them. It was always about finding the easiest way to deal with possible conflict, and about protecting myself from exposure.
dday 1 - 12/17/2011
dday 2 - 1/26/2012 (my past multiple affairs revealed)
WHs affair was mainly an online EA. for a brief few weeks it was a face to face EA. and for 2 months it was a PA with maybe only 3 actual physical encounters, 2 in hotels, 1 in a car that I know about and no reference to others.
But the language of their emails etc was highly sexual and very much him being in awe of her physically. They're both above average I guess, though she has a pinched kind of look and he carries a bit of nice cuddly weight. Being middle aged they are not models!
But what hurts is that he never talked like that to me when we were in early infatuation phase. I never expected t because I'm a fairly plain woman and always overweight for medical reasons. But now he's said all this to her I feel:
I'll always be second best
He can't possibly be physically attracted to me or he would have said *something* physical all these years. I always bought his line that looks didn't matter to him but clearly he's capable of being taken by looks.
I just feel he's always comparing me and I cannot ever look as good as her.
Add to that some of the chats they had have the following:
She: men are so visual they only value her for her looks (fishing for compliment of body and mind)
He: no I'm not, I can't be, MrsC is very overweight.
She: oh she's like most people, I'm exceptional
He: we'll you are ....(sickening compliments)
And then when she told him she thought of him whenever she had sex with her H, or in fact even web masturbating.... And tells him not to "just cut and paste"... They go on for a bit with her telling him pretty intimate stuff and then she repeats that she always thinks of him and he says "me too you know".
She didn't challenge it. She seemed to just buy it despite knowing his tendency to "me too".
Now it kind of rationally beggars belief to me. I'm short and fat, she's tall and thin. We are nothing alike physically. I can't quite imagine him having sex with me and being able to think of her- the cognitive dissonance would be too great I'd think.
He says he never did that but won't admit that's why. Just says t would be grotesque and he was just telling her what she wanted to hear and she seemed to have an inexhaustible capacity to believe it.
He admits to masturbating thinking of her while I slept beside him.
What do you think of the plausibility of all this?
How can you be physically attracted to a fat woman with stretch marks and saggy skin from 2 pregnancies close together? If you were wouldn't you talk more about it?
How could you stay with such a wife when you could have tall skinny AP whose body you keep saying you adore?
Is it possible for him to think of her (or porn or anything else) in the actual act with me? Doesn't that mean he isn't attracted to me physically?
I just feel he has no sexual attraction to me but because e loves me and knows how central sex had been to us he is faking it.
I find myself with huge sexual problems I basically pretend I don't have and partially fake it hoping I'll make it one day, he has been told how badly the things he said about her and to her affect me but I don't think he internalized it.
What can we do? Are we a hopeless case of ugly wife and visual husband?
I think many WS's struggle more than they let on. In dealing with that struggle, often times the WS is going to go through a phase, maybe multiple phases, of slinging shit everywhere trying to get it to stick to someone else.
So, the WS finds themselves in an A. The feelings are experienced and expressed. But there is that little thing called a conscience incessantly trying to slap you upside the head telling you you're wrong. A's can feel really good. Good enough to overcome the conscience. So the WS goes with the feelings and does everything that can to try to make it makes sense of it so that the conscience will shut up. This struggle creates the monster that many WS's become during and just after the A. Sometimes the WS stays as a monster. Other times they start to get it.
Was it finances? being comfortable? Sure. That is part of the reality of life. Does it matter that the AP was hurt? No, because they will likely have to face the same challenge as the WS. (how many WS were the MOW or MOM?) Can the WS come to the realization that they made a mistake in the first place and want everything to go back to normal? They can come to that realization, and they can want it to go back to normal, but it won't happen.
That may be where you are at. Your WH may be at a point where he realizes he was wrong and he wants to keep his M because it is what he wants, what is good, what is comfortable, oh, and that he really does love you, but he still has his hackles up a bit.
What was your relationship like before you guys got married? Did all of this really occur only after you were M?
There are many WS who aren't capable of fixing themselves, who will never get it. Their coping mechanisms are so good that they won't be able to turn around from the path they are on. Those coping mechanisms are something that were in place long ago, so they really have nothing to do with you directly, except that you are paying the price for it all now.
I don't think I had the pedestal issue going on, at least I don't think of my issues as being a pedestal-type issue, so I'm not sure how much help this will be.
Is your WW saying that her anxiety over perceiving that she was on a pedestal is what made her do these things? From your profile, piecing together what I can, she was sleeping with this guy when she was in HS or just out of HS. so she was 18? Not sure if the pedestal issue would have had a lot to do with things at that point. You guys were both pretty young.
Later, when her A started up again, what was your communication like? Because reading the first two paragraphs of your question sort of lays out the facts about how you felt for your wife throughout your M. If she wasn't able to grasp that, and be okay with that, then this would point to some long standing issues that were there before you guys got together.
I guess I would question the pedestal issue in your situation.
If she were to read your first two paragraphs, what would she say?
I'm pretty sure I know a couple people who've had A's. No close friends who I can be 100% sure of, but some co-workers. So, nobody really helped me to hide anything, as my BW was only a Christmas Party and Summer Picnic acquaintance with the couple of people who did now something was up.
If you need your WS to give up his buddy, then he should be willing to do that for you. The buddy is not a friend of the marriage. They can still be business acquaintances, but it should be strictly business. Does this buddy have that much of an impact on your WS business doings? Is that a relationship that MUST be maintained?
Well- looking back with IC and long talks with my BH- I was mose likely in a clinical depression when the A started. I had no self esteem and was desperate for attention. I coud hardly get through the day- it never would have occurred to me to leave or change my life. I fell into the A because the OM was paying attention to me. Yes I said ILY to him. Eventually after tryin got break it off several times, he started talking about wanting t omarry him. he never asked me to leave BH and I never offered to/ considered it. See I met OM playing a stupid online fantasy game- so in my head the whole thing was partly that - fantasy. I never really wanted him to be a part of my real life. In fact- when I met him twice in person i was embarrased to be seen walking down the street with him. I don't think he really felt that would "come true" either since he had lied about a lot of his life.
But remember- there is scientific proof that those days of early attraction release a chemical in the brain identical to the pleasure ones released when we are drunk. it is part of the reason it is universally agreed humans act like freaking idiots at the start of attraction. It does not excuse a darn thing I did or what your WH did- but it may help explain why some of these things just cannot be explained by logic. It isne that we just dont WANT to explain sometimes- we acted illogically because the chemicals created a "real" experience for us- and looking back we see it is no more "real" than virtual reality goggles. My finances will be fine with or without BH. I did a terrible thing that- no matter how it turns out- will remain my biggest regret in life. But I am not a bad person. I struggled, I was weak, I was selfish- but I a more than the person who made those choices. Your WH may be too.
@ siri- your list seems like a minimum. there should be NO hesitation on his part. If he can't talk about it- could he write out the answers to questions for you? That worked for me.
Do I think about it everyday? I think about how I have hurt my BH everyday. I think about and regret what I hve done to my family everyday. I rack my brain for ways to help my BH heal everyday. I do not think about OM often at all (at least not until he broke NC this week stupid jerk but that is another post). I live with my guilt but honestly try to channel it into making as many healthy changes as possible. See there is an 85% chsnce my BH is still leaving. I see my job to help him heal and make things up to him as much as possible before that time. After that- I know I will still think about it- but so will he and he had no choice in the matter.
Mrs Consistancy- ugg- how hard for you! well, I am female but i will try. See most of my A was an EA which took place over the computer with 2 physical encounters so...
we did "sexy typing" thing. Why? well partly because I would NOT do any skype stripping sex stuff (ironically because I am way body shy)- and it struck me as a little silly. ALso on Skype when i had to actually see him he was much less appealing i digress
Lots of the time I felt freer to be sexy "in game" when I did NOT see him (especially at first). I can see how an email would be the same. Why- you can imagine them without flaws. I mean- you may have seen the OW- but I am betting you have NOT had to see her up close and naked. I bet she is no more perfect than you are, or I am or anyone else. Your WH, when writing an email, could imaging her as airbrushed, waxed, tanned, etc as he wanted. In email fantasy land- she had never come to bed after dealing with a vomiting kid, working all day or is irritated he left the seat up. He is free to imagine she would constantly smell like roses and be willing to do all kinds of kinky things even when he smells like cheese.
What does that conversation between she and WH show? It shows HER insecurity towards YOU. SHe is basically begging for compliments- to be told he prefers her. Why did WH comply? If he is like I was- he would do and say almost anything to keep feeding the addiction. Sick, but true.
Since they were mostly email partners- who knows what he visualised. I know I did not visualize OM when with BH (but OM was realy ugly)- also I am not visual like that. I think it is plausable he was "in the moment" with you. If it was important to OW that he SAY he thought of her during sex- he would say it. Especialy if all he had to do was answer "me too." That would be way easier than saying "actually I treasure intimacy with my wife and would never let you intrude on that"- since that would cut off the free milk.
Now- can/ is he still attracted to you? Well- I dont know how things ended between OW and WH. BUT- I am a firm believer that confidence and internal sexiness can make just as much a diference as anything else. I feel your pain though. My BH actually told me he was "embarrased" by my weight. He later recanted and said that was not what he meant exactley- but made it clear my being 35 lbs overweight during my depression was "unacceptable." I really believe most women are insecure about our bodies. She showed her insecurity by constantly demanding compliments and comparing herself- if she felt that superior- why would she need him to confirm it??? Give him a list of what HE needs to do to make you feel sexy. Have him do things for YOU that make you feel like a goddess- he worked on convincing her- now he can put the effort into convincing you.
I traded sex and integrity to get the affection and attention I was desperate for- I think it is plausable your WH traded the compliments etc for sex.
Every day he sends me emails full of reasons of why we can't R. The other day he said something about how he's waiting for someone to make a move and until then he's just getting on. He also said something about how his life fell apart as well, not just mine.
And every time he gets in an argument with his OW, or she puts on the pressure, he sends emails about 'going ahead with D'. He knows I am not filing as he can pay for it and do all the heavy lifting.
What is up with him? What's his deal?

Open Source Client for VMware View
Virtualization specialist VMware has released a free Linux client for its VMware View desktop solution.
VMware View, formerly known as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), serves desktop virtualization whereby instances of desktop OSs run on a server and clients (typically with thin client hardware) essentially do the input and output. The benefit is among other things that virtualized desktops can be centrally managed.
VMware View Open Client, the open source adjunct to the proprietary desktop solution, is a client for Linux machines wanting to connect with traditional Windows desktops. The open client is optimized for thin client hardware, with Hewlett-Packard involved in its development, partly so that its Linux thin clients can be certified with VMware View. The open client is also planned to be part of Wyse Technology's thin computing solutions.
Features of the Linux client include SSL tunneling, two-factor authentication through RSA SecurID, and a full command line interface. Not included are multiple desktop sessions and USB or multimedia redirection.
VMware View Open Client is under an LGPL 2.1 license. The company hopes by these industry-friendly conditions to port the product to further operating systems and hardware platforms. Sources and binaries are available from the Google Code website.
MM can wait for PCoIPShame no MM redirection... but with PCoIP possibly being native in VIEW soon, this might make the RDP agent here redundant very soon? Still, sets a bar and will be good to see the PCoIP client released for linux eventually...
Definately good to get the proper client out though - some solutions from endpoint clients just don't quite hit correctly. Perhaps someone can figure out the redirection considering it's open source!

"This invitation was just what I wanted: classy yet cheerful. The touch of color communicates the spirit of a joyful occasion. Friends agree that it is lovely and perfect. I was thrilled with the quality of the cardstock and envelopes, and the printing was flawless."
"I was surprised by how easy it was to work with TinyPrints and how accessible they were by phone when I had questions. Sometimes, it takes a person-to-person conversation to work out the details because emails and proofs do not always get communication down perfectly. Everyone at TinyPrints was wonderful and I look forward to using their services again!"
"We used this card for our son's bar mitzvah invitations, because we were looking for an invitation that was simple and contemporary. Many people have already commented on the lovely and elegant design. The invitations were printed perfectly, and we received the envelopes very quickly. I had scoured many websites before purchasing this card, but this one was by far the best value without skimping on design. The only thing I would caution is that there isn't a lot of space for wording; you have to make it short and sweet!"
"I was able to personalize this card, including importing Hebrew text for my son's name, and changing the format while maintaining the integrity of the design. I am getting wonderful feeback from people ... Clean lines, easy to read, simple but elegant."
"The invitations were terrific! When creating my personalization, I realized that some of the text wrapped around to a second line. Although I wasn't able to fix this, the customer service/graphics folks were wonderful with my requests and made perfect edits. The overall product was even better than what I expected from the online order page. Thank you."

Ripped Tongues, Ejected Birds and Assassin Penguins: 13 Surprising Mascot Facts
The Phillie Phanatic turns 35 today. First introduced in 1977 as a way to attract more families to Veterans Stadium, the furry green talisman of the Philadelphia Phillies was designed for a cost of $5,200 and has since become the most iconic—and most litigated against—mascot in sports. Anyone this hated by Tommy Lasorda must be doing something right.
In celebration of the Phanatic finally being age-eligible to run for president, here are 13 things you never knew about sports mascots.
1. The NHL's first mascot was the Flames' Harvey the Hound, who debuted in 1983.
The Calgary mascot rose to international fame when Edmonton coach Craig MacTavish ripped his tongue out during a 2003 game.
2. The Minnesota Vikings' mascot, Ragnar, is the only official "human" mascot (not an animal or caricature costume) in the four major North American sports.
His namesake is real-life Norse hero Ragnar Lodbrok.
3. Only four NFL teams don't have mascots: the Giants, Jets, Raiders and Packers.
The Rams had also been holdouts until they became the 28th NFL team to introduce a mascot with the 2010 addition of Rampage.
4. Blades, the mascot of the Boston Bruins, was named during the '90s by a young fan named Jillian Dempsey …
… who went on to become an All-Ivy, All-ECAC forward herself at Harvard.
5. BJ Birdy, the mascot of the Blue Jays from 1979 to 1999, was ejected from a 1993 game for showing up the umpire.
The costumed bird was thrown out for attempting to incite the Skydome crowd into thinking that umpire Jim McKean had made the wrong decision on a caught line drive.
6. Iceburgh, the Pittsburgh Penguins' mascot, played an instrumental role in the 1995 thriller Sudden Death with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
One of the terrorists used the mascot's costume as a disguise.
7. The only mascot in the history of pro leagues to change sports is Youppi!
He joined the Montreal Canadiens from the Expos after the baseball team left town for Washington.
8. Benny, the since-retired mascot of the original Winnipeg Jets, was named after the Elton John song.
It's also a tribute to the team's first owner, Ben Hatskin.
9. The only mascot in the four major sports that is not costumed is Al the Octopus, the cephalopodic mascot of the Detroit Red Wings.
The eight-legged beast was named after Joe Louis Arena building operations manager Al Sobotka — no relation to Frank, Nick or Ziggy.
10. T.D., the mascot of the Miami Dolphins, was invited to Hong Kong to participate in the 2005 Chinese New Year's Day Parade.
11. The Mascot Grand National is an annual race over hurdles between mascots of English soccer teams which has taken place annually since 1999 in Cambridgeshire.
Yet it's fallen into disrepute in recent years because teams seemed to be hiring ringers instead of using the day-in-day-out performers.
12. Bailey, the mascot of the Kings, wears No. 72 not as a tribute to one-time right winger Shane Churla (who also wore the number) but because that's the average temperature in L.A.
He also appeared on The Price Is Right.
13. The university of Texas football players ate their mascot at a sports banquet in 1920.
The longhorn steer was fattened up and served at a football banquet because the school didn't have enough money to care for him and he wasn't tamed to roam the campus.

Revenue for the state's General Fund may shrink by as much as $28 million in fiscal 2014, state officials said in budget hearings Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, state agencies are asking for $263 million more than than they'll get by the end of fiscal 2013, which ends Sept. 30.
State number-crunchers say the situation isn't as bad as it was last year — when the Legislature opened with half-billion-dollar gap in the budget — but it's a budget squeeze that has become familiar to legislators since the 2008 recession.
"Every year, I keep expecting it to get better, and every year it's the same thing," said Rep. K.L. Brown, R-Jacksonville.
Norris Green, director of the Legislative Fiscal Office, told lawmakers the General Fund — which pays for non-education agencies — will have $1.66 billion on hand in 2014, about $28 million less than the $1.68 billion budgeted for the current year.
Finance Department Director Marquita Davis offered rounder, rosier numbers, saying the General Fund would take in about $1.7 billion. But both offices see the General Fund growth as essentially flat, at best, and both see state agencies' requests outstripping the General Fund.
At issue is the continued growth in Medicaid and the Department of Corrections. Together, budget officials say, the two departments take up 56 percent of the General Fund. In 1997, only 36 percent of the budget went to the two agencies. A growing prison population and a post-recession increase in the Medicaid rolls are largely responsible for that growth.
Gov. Robert Bentley's office has not yet released official budget requests for most state agencies, but Davis said Medicaid needed $700 million. That's nearly $100 million more than the $603 million the agency got in 2013, and tens of millions more than the request lawmakers predicted.
Asked for his actual budget request Tuesday morning State Health Officer Don Williamson declined to cite a number.
"I need $700 million, but I won't request that much," he said.
The situation for the Education Trust Fund, which pays for the state's schools, looked better than the General Fund picture. Alabama's education system is paid for largely through sales and income taxes, and Norris said the school system would likely have $237 million more on hand in 2014.
That growth was due to growth in the state's economy. Davis said the economy was projected to grow by 2.9 percent in 2014 and 2.6 percent in 2015.
Davis said Alabama wasn't alone in struggling to pay the bills after the recession.
"All states are facing these dilemmas," she said.
Davis presented a list of what other states are doing to fill budget gaps. Illinois released inmates, she said, and Georgia consolidated colleges. Fourteen states have raised cigarette taxes, Davis said.
Alabama has tried cuts, as well. The state has 34,657 employees in 2013, Davis said — about 3,000 fewer than in 2010. State officials are also trying to rein in the cost of Medicaid; a commission appointed by the governor has recommended moving to a system similar to managed care, while legislators are considering a bill intended to trim fraud and waste from the system. Lawmakers last year rejected a cigarette tax that would have generated an estimated $220 million per year. A smaller tax is proposed as a bill this year.
Bentley has rejected a call to expand Medicaid to about 300,000 new clients, something called for in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Critics of that decision noted that the federal government would pick up the tab for the first three years of the expansion. Bentley said the system couldn't be expanded until it was fixed.
Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, asked both Green and Davis if they'd calculated the budget effect of expanding Medicaid. Both said no.
"The reason we have not focused on it is that the governor's position is that he is not expanding Medicaid," Davis said.

- " LOVED Abagail's. My friends stayed at the Avalon House and I stayed there for a night as well but I thought Abagail's was much better. Every bed has a lamp and 2 usb charging ports attached which was very convenient. The breakfast was good as well. The only downfall is the luggage room. It doesn't seem too safe, lockers would be a good addition. "

- " I stayed at Abigails 2-3 nights a week for 5 weeks. Depending on the room, the shower was good, beds weren't noisy. Disappointed there weren't lockers in the room, but they have them in the common room. Appreciated the free breakfast every morning! There were some things that needed to be fixed up, so it wasn't the best cared for facility. "

- " DO NOT STAY HERE! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND GO TO THE GENERATOR! I have traveled the world and stayed in many hostels and this is actually THE worst hostel I have EVER stayed in. It was dirty with mold on the floor. There were bedbugs. The hallways smelled. The breakfast was stale bread. The staff was AWFUL. I felt like every time I needed something they made me feel like I was an inconvenience to them. It was noisy. The internet only worked in the lobby. You were charged extra for towels. "

- " You were asked to return your key each time before leaving the hostel, and had to buzz in when you wanted to return. The hostel had a 24 hr reception desk, so getting in was never a problem. However, it seemed that just about anybody who buzzed was let in....even people not staying at the hostel. It was great if you had friends you wanted to meet up with in the common room....but for security purposes, it was not the best. However, friendly staff, clean kitchen, good breakfast, large rooms, WIFI "

Two TTU engineering faculty honored for contributionsPioneering research in robotics and substantive contributions in teaching, research and service have resulted in significant honors for two faculty members in the College of Engineering at Tennessee Technological University.
Sastry Munukutla, a professor of mechanical engineering with Tennessee Tech's Center for Electric Power, has been named this year's recipient of the college's Brown-Henderson Outstanding Faculty Award, named in honor of Engineering Dean Emeritus James Seay Brown and in memory of James Henderson, the college's first dean.
Ahmad Smaili, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is the 1996 recipient of the Kinslow Research Award, which recognizes the research paper judged most scholarly, insightful and significant in contributing to the advancement of engineering knowledge. Both were recognized during the college's annual Engineers Week Banquet.
Outstanding college professors teach, conduct research and engage in professional service activities, and the philosophy behind those three responsibilities is that each enhances the others to the benefit of students, the academic community and society as a whole. To the faculty and students who nominated him for the award, Munukutla represents that ideal: a faculty member who has contributed much as a teacher, researcher and professional.
Highly regarded by students, Munukutla has excelled in teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, consistently receiving excellent evaluations. Students turn to him as a mentor and friend, and he has directly influenced the work of 19 master's and four Ph.D. students, whom he supervised.
In research, Munukutla has been responsible for an array of projects and programs that total more than a million dollars in external funding. These efforts have engaged colleagues and external funding partners in collaborative, multidisciplinary work, and many have involved both undergraduate and graduate students. A testament to the academic merit of these efforts is that many have resulted in publications in refereed journals and conference proceedings. Equally significant, the work was conducted in tandem with a number of utility companies and related associations ranging across the midwestern and eastern United States -- organizations the Center for Electric Power was created to assist.
In the area of service, Munukutla has made substantial contributions to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which elected him as an associate fellow and presented him with a Booster Award.
The publication that won Smaili the Kinslow Research Award introduces the idea of a new class of linkage arms that Smaili calls robomechs. A robomech combines elements of a robot and a mechanism, but it differs from both by having more than one end effector, a device able to act on electronic impulses in a manner similar to the way the muscles of our hands respond to neural signals. Each end effector can carry a different tool, enabling the robomech to perform coordinated multifunction tasks that neither a single mechanism nor a single robot can do. This new concept provides a new class of mechanical arms that can do more with less when used in a wide range of applications such as assembly, packaging, material handling and other manufacturing processes.
In his paper, Smaili introduces features of robomechs, identifies geometric constraints and synthesis procedures, and provides an example of an application. His paper appeared in the refereed publication Journal of Mechanism and Machine Theory in February 1995.
Such groundbreaking research carries on the tradition of Ray Kinslow, whom the award honors. Kinslow taught at Tennessee Tech for 32 years, serving as head of Engineering Science and Mechanics for 25 years. In addition to excelling in education and administration, he was a prolific researcher, particularly in the area of hypervelocity impact. Smaili's Kinslow Award-winning paper will be submitted as Tennessee Tech's nominee for the Outstanding Contributions in Research Award presented by the 1996 Southeastern Section of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Maintaining Your Signing Identities and Certificates
Code signing your app lets users trust that your app has been created by a source known to Apple and that it hasn't been tampered with. All iOS apps and most Mac apps must be code signed and provisioned to launch on a device, to be distributed for testing, or to be submitted to the store. Code signing uses cryptographic technology to digitally sign your app and installer package. You create signing identities—stored in your keychain—and certificates—stored in Member Center—to sign and provision your app. These assets uniquely identify you or your team, so its important to keep them safe. This chapter covers common tasks that you perform to protect and maintain your signing identities and certificates over the lifetime of your project.
For the types of the certificates you'll use to develop, test, and distribute your app, refer to "Your Signing Certificates in Depth."
About Signing Identities and Certificates
Code signing your app allows the operating system to identify who signed your app and to verify that your app hasn't been modified since you signed it. Your app's executable code is protected by its signature because the signature becomes invalid if any of the executable code in the app bundle changes. Note that resources such as images and nib files aren't signed; therefore, a change to these files doesn't invalidate the signature.
Code signing is used in combination with your App ID, provisioning profile, and entitlements to ensure that:
Your app is built and signed by you or a trusted team member.
Apps signed by you or your team run only on designated development devices.
Apps run only on the test devices you specify.
Your app isn't using technologies you didn't add to your app.
Only you can submit revisions of your app to the store.
If you choose to distribute outside of the store (Mac only), the app can't be modified and distributed by someone else.
Code signing also allows your app's signature to be removed and re-signed by a trusted source. For example, you sign your app before submitting it to the store, but Apple re-signs it before distributing it to customers. Also, you can re-sign and submit a fully tested development build of your app to the store.
Xcode uses your signing identity to sign your app during the build process. This signing identity consists of a public-private key pair that Apple issues. The private key is stored in your keychain and used by cryptographic functions to generate the signature. The certificate contains the public key and identifies you as the owner of the key pair. The certificate is stored both in your keychain on your Mac and in your developer account. An intermediate certificate is also required to be in your keychain to ensure that your certificate is issued by a certificate authority.
To sign apps, you must have both the signing identity and the intermediate certificate installed in your keychain. When you install Xcode, Apple's intermediate certificates are added to your keychain for you. You use Xcode to create your signing identity and sign your app. Your signing identity is added to your keychain and the corresponding certificate is added to your account in Member Center.
Signing identities are used to sign your app or installer package. A development certificate identifies you, as a team member, in a development provisioning profile that allows apps signed by you to launch on devices. A distribution certificate identifies your team or organization in a distribution provisioning profile and allows you to submit your app to the store. Only a team agent or an admin can create a distribution certificate. You also use different development and distribution certificates to sign iOS and Mac apps. For a complete list of certificate types, refer to "Your Signing Certificates in Depth."
For a company, other team members have their own signing identities installed on their Macs. Member Center contains a repository for all of the combined team assets but doesn't store any of the private keys.
Because the private key is stored locally on your Mac, protect it as you would an account password. Keep a secure backup of your public-private key pair. If the private key is lost, you'll have to create an entirely new identity to sign code. Worse, if someone else has your private key, they may be able to impersonate you. In the wrong hands, someone might attempt to distribute an app that contains malicious code. Not only could that cause the app to be rejected, it could also mean your developer credentials could be revoked by Apple. Private keys are stored only in the keychain and can't be retrieved if lost.
If you want to code sign your app using another Mac, you export your developer profile on the Mac you used to create your certificates and import it on the other Mac. You can also share distribution certificates among multiple team agents using this feature.
Viewing Signing Identities and Provisioning Profiles
To verify or troubleshoot your certificates and profiles, view them in Xcode Accounts preferences. Although Xcode manages these assets for you, you may occasionally need to request or revoke specific certificates and to refresh your provisioning profiles.
Requesting Signing Identities
Before you can code sign your app, you create your development certificate and later, a distribution certificate to submit your app to the store. You can create all the types of certificates and signing identities you need using Xcode. Xcode requests, downloads, and installs your signing identities for you.
For a company, a team member requests their development certificate using Xcode, but downloads and installs it later, after it's approved, as described in "Approving Development Certificates." Only a team agent or admin can create a distribution certificate. Only a team agent can create a Developer ID certificate. If you have a company membership, read "Managing Your Team" for a description of team roles and tasks that team agents perform on behalf of team members.
Xcode asks to create development certificates for you when you need them. For example, when you assign your project to a team or create the team provisioning profile, as described in "Configuring Identity and Team Settings," a dialog might appear asking if Xcode should create a certificate for you. Because of this, you typically request distribution certificates using the Xcode Preferences window.
In the Xcode Preferences window, click Accounts.
Select the team you want to use, and click View Details.
In the dialog that appears, choose the type of certificate you want to create by clicking the Add button (+) below the Signing Identities table.
For a description of each type of certificate, refer to Table 11-2.
In the Signing Identity Generated dialog that appears, click OK.
The new signing identity appears in the Signing Identities table.
A team member may need to wait until a team agent or admin approves the request.
To return to Accounts preferences, click Done.
You can now export your signing identities to create a backup, as described in "Exporting Your Developer Profile."
Verifying Your Steps
Verify that your certificates are correct and ready for use. Certificates must be valid in order to sign your app—and for a Mac app, to sign your installer package.
The first time you verify your certificates, verify them in Xcode, Keychain Access, and Member Center to learn where they're located and how they appear in each tool. Keychain Access and Member Center display the expiration dates of your signing identities and certificates. Later, you'll use Keychain Access for troubleshooting.
Verifying Using Member Center
Member Center should show the same certificates you see in Xcode and Keychain Access because it stores the public keys.
In the Certificates section, select Development or Production depending on the type of certificate you want to verify.
The name, type, and expiration date of the certificate should match the information that you view in Xcode.
Verifying Using Keychain Access
Keychain Access shows the private and public keys for each of your signing identities.
Launch Keychain Access located in
When you request a development or distribution certificate using Xcode, the certificate is automatically installed in your login keychain.
In the left pane, select "login" in the Keychains section and select Certificates in the Category section.
Your development and distribution certificates appear in the Certificates category in Keychain Access. The name of the development certificate begins with the text "iPhone Developer" for the iOS Developer Program and "Mac Developer" for the Mac Developer Program, followed by your name (development certificates belong to a person).
Other types of certificates also appear in the Certificates category of Keychain Access.
Verify that there's a disclosure triangle to the left of the certificate.
If you click the disclosure triangle next to the certificate name, your private key appears. If the disclosure triangle doesn't appear, you're missing your private key. (Read "The Private Key for Your Signing Identity Is Missing" to fix this issue.)
Verify that the certificates are valid.
When you select a certificate, a green circle containing a checkmark appears in Keychain Access above the list of certificates. The text next to the checkmark should read "This certificate is valid."
If the certificates shown in Xcode and Keychain Access don't match your certificates in Member Center, read "Certificate Issues" for information about how to resolve the discrepancies.
Requesting Additional Developer ID Certificates
Developer ID certificates are used to distribute your application outside of the Mac App Store. Create your Developer ID certificates, along with other types of certificates, using Xcode, as described in "Requesting Signing Identities." If you want more Developer ID certificates, you can create up to five of each type using Member Center.
Under Certificates, select All.
Click the Add button (+) in the upper-right corner.
Select Developer ID under Production, and click Continue.
Select the certificate type—Developer ID Application or Developer ID Installer—and click Continue.
Follow the instructions to create a certificate signing request (CSR) using Keychain Access, and click Continue.
Click Choose File.
Select a CSR file (with a
.certSigningRequestextension), and click Choose.
Click Generate.
Click Download.
The certificate file appears in your
To install the Developer ID certificate in your keychain, double-click the downloaded certificate file (with a
.cer extension). The Developer ID certificate appears in the My Certificates category in Keychain Access.
Installing Missing Intermediate Certificate Authorities
To use your certificates, you need to have the correct intermediate certificate in your keychain. An intermediate certificate ensures that your certificates were issued by a trusted source. The intermediate certificate, named Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority, is installed in your system keychain when you install Xcode. The intermediate certificate for Developer ID certificates is called Developer ID Certification Authority. If you accidentally remove an intermediate certificate, you can install it again.
First try refreshing your provisioning profiles in Xcode, as described in "Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode," to install missing intermediate certificates. If that doesn't work for you, download and install the missing intermediate certificate.
Click "Download certificate" under Apple Intermediate Certificates for the intermediate certificate you're missing.
A certificate file, with a
.cerextension, appears in your Downloads folder.
Double-click the certificate file to install it in your system keychain.
Exporting and Importing Certificates and Profiles
After Xcode creates your certificates and profiles for you, export them to create a backup of all your assets. You do this to, for example, transfer your assets to another Mac you use for development or repair a certificate if the private key is missing. Refreshing your certificates and profiles in Xcode won't replace a missing private key. Instead, import your certificates and profiles from a backup.
The export file, called a developer profile, contains the following team assets:
Development certificates
Distribution certificates
Provisioning profiles
You can also export selected certificates to share with other team members. In this case, the export file contains just the certificates you select.
Exporting Your Developer Profile
Because the developer profile represents your credentials to sign and submit apps to the store, Xcode encrypts and password-protects the exported file.
Choose Xcode > Preferences.
Click Accounts at the top of the window.
Click the Action button (the gear icon to the right of the Delete button) in the lower-left corner.
Choose Export Accounts from the pop-up menu.
Enter a filename in the Save As field and password in both the Password and Verify fields.
The file is encrypted and password protected.
Click Save.
The file is saved to the location you specified with a
In the dialog that appears, click OK.
Exporting Selected Certificates
To export a few certificates and exclude the profiles, select the certificates in the details dialog.
Choose Xcode > Preferences.
Click Accounts at the top of the window.
Select the team you want to view, and click View Details.
Select the certificates you want to export in the Signing Identities table.
Choose Export from the pop-up menu below the Signing Identities table.
Enter a filename in the Save As field and password in both the Password and Verify fields.
The file is encrypted and password protected.
Click Save.
The file is saved to the location you specified with a
Click Done.
Importing Your Developer Profile
You import your developer profile to restore missing private keys or when you want to switch to another Mac.
Choose Xcode > Preferences.
Click Accounts at the top of the window.
Click the Action button (the gear icon) in the lower-left corner.
Choose Import Accounts from the pop-up menu.
Locate and select the file containing your developer profile, and click Open.
The file should have a
Enter the password you used to encrypt the file, and click OK.
In the dialog that appears, click OK.
Removing Signing Identities from Your Keychain
You remove signing identities from your keychain if they're invalid, no longer used (perhaps they belong to a previous team you were a member of), or are missing the private key and consequently, aren't usable. If you're missing a private key and have a backup of your signing identities, import your developer profile, as described in "Importing Your Developer Profile," immediately after removing the signing identities. If you remove signing identities for some other reason, read all the steps in "Re-Creating Certificates and Updating Related Provisioning Profiles" to avoid code signing issues later.
Launch Keychain Access (located in
In the Category section, select Keys.
Click the disclosure triangles for all the private keys to reveal the associated certificates.
Select all of the private keys associated with the certificates that you want to remove.
For how to recognize the type of certificate by the name as it appears in Keychain Access, refer to Table 11-2.
Select the corresponding public key for each private key.
Press Delete (on the keyboard), and when a dialog appears, click Delete.
In the Category section, select Certificates.
Select all of the certificates that you want to remove.
The certificates won't have private keys.
Press Delete (on the keyboard), and when a dialog appears, click Delete.
Revoking Certificates
You revoke certificates when you no longer need them or when you want to re-create them because of another code signing issue (refer to "Certificate Issues" for the types of problems that can occur). You also revoke certificates if you suspect that they have been compromised. If you're a team admin for a company, you may want to revoke development certificates of team members who no longer work on your project. Revoking certificates may invalidate provisioning profiles, so read all the steps in "Re-Creating Certificates and Updating Related Provisioning Profiles" to avoid code signing issues later.
Revoking Privileges
Table 11-1 lists the types of certificates that each team member can revoke. Individual developers are the team agent for their one-person team, which means they have permission to revoke all types of development and distribution certificates except as indicated. For a company, any team member can revoke his or her own development certificate, but a team member can only revoke distribution certificates if he or she is a team agent or admin.
Type of certificate
Team agent
Team admin

Your development certificates:
Other team admin and member certificates:
The team agent's certificate:
Store distribution certificates:
Developer ID certificates:
Push notification certificates:
Pass certificate:
You can't revoke Developer ID or Passbook certificates using Member Center. Instead, send a request to Apple at
email@example.com to revoke these types of certificates.
If Apple revokes your Developer ID certificate, users can no longer install applications that have been signed with that certificate. Instead of revoking a Developer ID certificate, you can create additional Developer ID certificates using Member Center as described in "Requesting Additional Developer ID Certificates."
Revoking Development Certificates Using Xcode
If the development certificate you want to revoke appears in the Accounts preferences in Xcode—it's a certificate you created on your Mac and is in your keychain—then you can revoke it using Xcode. Otherwise, use Member Center to revoke the certificate, as described in "Revoking Certificates Using Member Center." (If you attempt to revoke a distribution certificate using Xcode, you'll be redirected to Member Center.)
Choose Xcode > Preferences and click Accounts at the top of the window.
Select your team and click View Details.
In the dialog that appears, choose the development certificate you want to revoke and click the Action button (the gear icon to the right of the Add button) below the Signing Identities table.
Choose Revoke from the pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, click Done.
Revoking Certificates Using Member Center
Use Member Center to revoke all types of certificates belonging to your team. For example, revoke development certificates for other team members or distribution certificates that you no longer need or want to re-create.
Under Certificates, select All.
Select the certificate you want to revoke, and click Revoke.
In the dialog that appears, click Revoke.
Replacing Expired Certificates
When your development or distribution certificate expires, remove it and request a new certificate in Xcode. Follow the same steps to re-create certificates, as described in "Re-Creating Certificates and Updating Related Provisioning Profiles." Use Keychain Access or Member Center to view the expiration dates of your signing identities and certificates, as described in "Verifying Using Member Center" and "Verifying Using Keychain Access."
Re-Creating Certificates and Updating Related Provisioning Profiles
Re-creating certificates and updating related provisioning profiles isn't a simple task, because these assets are related and reside on both your Mac and in Member Center. If you revoke a certificate, any provisioning profile that contains that certificate becomes invalid. Xcode automatically regenerates team provisioning profiles for you, but you manage other types of provisioning profiles yourself. This section covers all the steps you perform to fully restore your code signing assets.
There are several reasons you might want to re-create your certificates and update related provisioning profiles. For example, you do this if:
You accidentally removed one or more private keys from your keychain and don't have a backup to restore from.
You want to remove revoked or expired certificates and their related provisioning profiles.
You want to remove all the certificates and provisioning profiles from a previous team before you join another team.
If you use multiple Macs for development or belong to multiple teams, you might want to set up your Mac for a new project.
However, if you're experiencing certificate, provisioning, or build issues, review "Certificate Issues" first before performing these steps because removing your certificates is irreversible.
Choose the certificates you want to re-create. For example, if you experience problems running your app on a device, you may only need to re-create your development certificate. Keep in mind that re-creating a distribution certificate doesn't affect your development certificates or development provisioning profiles. Similarly, re-creating a development certificate doesn't affect your distribution certificate or distribution provisioning profiles.
Follow these steps to re-create your certificates and update related provisioning profiles:
Revoke the certificates using Member Center, as described in "Revoking Certificates."
Provisioning profiles containing a revoked certificate become invalid. For example, if you revoke your development certificate, all the development provisioning profiles containing that certificate become invalid:
If necessary, remove the signing identities for these certificates from your keychain, as described in "Removing Signing Identities from Your Keychain."
If you revoke your own development or distribution certificate, remove the corresponding signing identity from your keychain. Otherwise, the owner of the certificate should remove the signing identity on his or her Mac.
Optionally, request new certificates using Xcode, as described in "Requesting Signing Identities."
If you revoke a development certificate, requesting a new development certificate or refreshing provisioning profiles in Xcode, as described in "Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode," regenerates the team provisioning profiles. They no longer appear invalid in Member Center after you do either of these actions:
Remove or regenerate other types of provisioning profiles that contain the revoked certificates, as described in "Editing Provisioning Profiles in Member Center."
Xcode doesn't automatically regenerate distribution provisioning profiles or custom development provisioning profiles you create using Member Center.
If you changed provisioning profiles in Member Center, refresh your provisioning profiles in Xcode, as described in "Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode."
If necessary, install the modified provisioning profiles on your devices, as described in "Removing Provisioning Profiles from Devices."
Once the certificates are repaired on the primary Mac, export your developer profile, as described in "Exporting Your Developer Profile."
If you're repairing multiple Macs, perform these additional steps on the other Macs:
Remove the signing identities from your keychain, as described in "Removing Signing Identities from Your Keychain."
Import your developer profile, as described in "Importing Your Developer Profile," that you created on the original Mac.
Creating Push Notification Client SSL Certificates
You use Member Center to generate your push notification client SSL certificates. A client SSL certificate allows your notification server to connect to the APNs. Each App ID is required to have its own client SSL certificate. Similar to signing certificates, you use separate client SSL certificates for development and distribution.
If you don't have an explicit App ID that matches the bundle ID, create an explicit App ID, as described in "Registering App IDs," before continuing. Otherwise, creating a push notification SSL certificate automatically enables the explicit App ID to use push notifications. Review all the steps in "Configuring Push Notifications" to add this capability to your app.
Click the Add button (+) in the upper-right corner.
Select the checkbox next to "Apple Push Notification service SSL" either under Development or Production, and click Continue.
Choose an App ID from the App ID pop-up menu, and click Continue.
Follow the instructions on the next webpage to create a certificate request on your Mac, and click Continue.
Click Choose File.
In the dialog that appears, select the certificate request file (with a
.certSigningRequestextension), and click Choose.
Click Generate.
Optionally, click Download.
Click Done.
Setting the Code Signing Identity Build Setting
Occasionally, you may want to use your own custom development provisioning profile instead of the team provisioning profile that Xcode manages for you. For example, you might do this if you want to limit development of an app to a subset of developers or if you're testing different app configurations. If so, create a development provisioning profile, as described in "Creating Provisioning Profiles Using Member Center," and set your code signing identity build setting to use the new profile.
When you build the app, you code sign it with the signing identity matching the certificate contained in the provisioning profile you want to use. The possible values for the Code Signing Identity build setting pop-up menu are:
Don't Code Sign. Don't sign your app. Choosing this option disables entitlements including sandboxing.
Automatic Profile Selector. Selects an identity that matches your developer or distribution certificate name.
Identities without Provisioning Profiles. Selects a code signing identity that isn't in a provisioning profile.
Other. Selects a specific code signing identity. The code signing identities in your default keychain are listed by the name. Expired or otherwise invalid identities are dimmed and can't be chosen.
A menu item appears in the Code Signing Identity build setting pop-up menu for each provisioning profile to which your development certificate belongs. The default setting is the platform-specific development certificate that appears in the Automatic Profile Selector menu item, which matches your development certificate. For a description of each type of certificate that may appear in this menu, refer to Table 11-2.
Before you begin, decide whether to set the Code Signing Identity build setting at the project or target level. For a single target, you can set this build setting at either the project or target level as long as you're consistent. For multiple targets that use the same code signing identity, set this build setting at the project level. For multiple targets that use different code signing identities, you set this build setting for each individual target. For example, choosing the project level ensures that any helper apps inside of your project are code signed as well as the main app.
Set the Provisioning Profile build setting to your development profile and the Code Signing Identity build setting to your development certificate.
In the Xcode project editor, select the target.
Click Build Settings.
In the Build Settings pane, click All and type
Code Signingin the search field.
From the Provisioning Profile pop-up menu, choose your development provisioning profile.
Xcode automatically sets the Code Signing Identity build setting to "iPhone Developer" for iOS apps and "Mac Developer" for Mac apps.
If necessary, from the Code Signing Identity pop-up menu, choose your development certificate.
For iOS apps, choose the certificate in the provisioning profile menu item that begins with the text "iPhone Developer:" followed by your name. For Mac apps, choose the certificate in the provisioning profile menu item that begins with the text "Mac Developer:" followed by your name.
Your app is code signed the next time you build it. You can build and run your Mac app by simply clicking the Run button. For an iOS app, follow the steps in "Launching Your iOS App on a Device" to sign your app and launch it on a device.
To use the team provisioning profile again later, change the Provisioning Profile build setting to None. To learn more about Apple's code signing technology, read Code Signing Guide.
If the development provisioning profile doesn't appear in the Provisioning Profile menu, refresh provisioning profiles, as described in "Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode." Then try to set the Provisioning Profile and Code Signing Identity build settings again.
If a code signing error occurs when you build the app, verify that the Code Signing Identity build setting is correct. Also, check whether the Code Signing Identity build setting is set at the project or target level (target settings override project settings). To troubleshoot the Code Signing Identity build setting, read "Build and Code Signing Issues."
Your Signing Certificates in Depth
Your code signing identities, stored in your keychain, represent your iOS and Mac program development and distribution credentials. You should be familiar with the names of these certificates, because they appear in menus, and the types of certificates, because they appear in lists, so that you don't accidentally remove them from your keychain or Member Center.
There are different types of signing certificates for different purposes. Development certificates identify a person on your team and are used to run an app on a device. During development and testing, you're required to sign all iOS apps that run on devices and Mac apps that use certain technologies like iCloud and Game Center.
Distribution certificates identify the team and are used to submit your app to the store or for a Mac app, distribute it outside of the store. If you're a company, distribution certificates can be shared by team members who have permission to submit your app. There are multiple kinds of distribution certificates, each associated with a specific method of distribution. Different code signing identities are also used for iOS and Mac apps.
Signing certificates are issued and authorized by Apple. You must have the intermediate certificate provided by Apple installed in your system keychain to use your certificate; otherwise, it's invalid. The intermediate certificates provided by Apple and installed by Xcode are:
Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority. Used to validate development and store certificates.
Developer ID Certification Authority. Used to validate a Developer ID certificate for distribution outside of the Mac App Store.
Refer to Table 11-2 for the mapping between the type of the certificate, the name of the certificate as it appears in Keychain Access, and the purpose of each.
Member Center displays the team name (or person's name) and type for each certificate. Xcode Accounts preferences displays the type of certificate in the Signing Identities column. Keychain Access and the Code Signing Identity build setting pop-up menu in Xcode display the name of the certificate.
There's one Mac or iOS development certificate per team member. Therefore, development certificate names contain the person's name. All other types of certificates are owned by the team (shared by multiple team members) and so, contain the team name. Individual developers are a one-person team, and so your name and the team name are the same.
Certificate type
Certificate name
iOS Development
iPhone Developer: Team Member Name
Used to run an iOS app on devices and use certain technologies and services during development.
iOS Distribution
iPhone Distribution: Team Name
Used to distribute your iOS app on designated devices for testing or to submit it to the App Store.
Mac Development
Mac Developer: Team Member Name
Used to enable certain technologies and services during development and testing.
Mac App Distribution
3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Team Name
Used to sign a Mac app before submitting it to the Mac App Store.
Mac Installer Distribution
3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Team Name
Used to sign and submit a Mac Installer Package, containing your signed app, to the Mac App Store.
Developer ID Application
Developer ID Application: Team Name
Used to sign a Mac app before distributing it outside the Mac App Store.
Developer ID Installer
Developer ID Installer: Team Name
Used to sign and distribute a Mac Installer Package, containing your signed app, outside the Mac App Store.
In this chapter, you learned how to maintain your development and distribution signing identities that you'll use throughout the lifetime of your app. You also learned how to identify the different types of certificates in Xcode, Keychain Access, and Member Center.

Morning all.
Apologies if I seem to be starting a lot of discussions lately but we are getting pushed to get our last few defects fixed asap.
We have a 'Release Management' Process which wasn't working as the precondition test was incorrect - I've fixed this.
However, looking at the process as designed by LANDesk, I'm not sure if this design should actually work correctly.
Can you please take a look at the 2 preconditions that are followed by manual actions (diagram attached).
Are the 2 manual (windowless) actions 'Return to Release Being Scoped' a valid method to 'Move on' to another status within a process?
Many thanks,
The process IMHO looks OK but maybe I'm missing something; difficult to see from just the picture.
Are the "Return To Release Being Scoped" in fact the same Action or 2 different actions but one with trailing space in the name to make it look visually the same in the process Action panel. I presume that if both preconditions are satisfied then only one instance of the Action is displayed in the Actions panel?
I wonder why they chose though to use 2 seperate preconditions rather than use a calculated condition that satisfies both tests in one go; "Any CNN or Release Component Removed".
You can't have 2 stacked preconditions for an action item. You can have 2 different preconditions for an action item. In the 1st case 2 things need to be true before the action item is available (this will not work). In the second case, either of the conditions can be true to allow the action item to be available.
Thanks for taking the time to replay Julian.
I need to check but I think that the requirement was for these to automatically move on without any manual actions taken – could it be that our consultant has simply forgotten to make these automated actions?
This makes a mockery of the UAT sessions we had before Xmas !!
Thanks for the reply too Carl.
The attached image was a bit ropey but there aren't 2 stacked preconditions - they are both in parallel under a single status.
The more I look at this the more it appears that the Process was badly designed and poorly tested - but we are 2 months into a LIVE system !!
Ah but in that case process designer wont let you have 2 preconditions feeding automatic actions from the same status because if both preconditions were true then the system would reach some deadlock state of not knowing which branch(es) to take. Will not allow you to save the process but I think it lets you design it still because it doesnt do it's dependency checking until save.
What you can do though is feed a single precondition (calculated of course) which evaluates to true if either of your originl (seperate) criteria is true and then feed than (via an automatic move on action) into a condition (which is setup to test for just one of the criteria) and then the YES/NO branches can go where you need them too. Think, without testing again now, I've done this in the past during process design.
Well, you live and learn Julian !
I've been using LANDesk for a year but haven't had any formal training so I'm learning as I go.
It makes you wonder what the consultants get paid for sometimes.
It now transpires that the customer wants to review the whole process which yet again points to poor testing in the first place.
Many thanks for your help and I'm sure I'll use your advice in the redesign.
No comment as I'm a ServiceDesk consultant for LANDesk partner Pangea Systems so would be shooting myself in the foot!
Hi Kieron,
Forgive me for striking a balance for my consultant collegues.
There are a couple of points here which you have to some extent referred to yourself. The first is that the testing that was done was not good enough and that isn't something that the consultant can manage. Second, it seems to me that the customer isn't entirely sure of what they actually want, and finally, on the whole, the consultants implement what the customer has asked for, yes there are implementation tricks and other techniques that they should apply as necessary, but it is the customers design at the end of the day.
I might also suggest, very nicely , that doing some training is not a bad thing. It is a complex tool and if you want to deploy complex solutions with it, then that deep level of understanding is essential.
Point well made Andy.
Apologies, this wasn't a cheap shot at any of our consultants as they were most helpful to me in the implementation phase.
I also agree that the lack of system testing and product training has made it really frustrating from a Support perspective.
I'll keep my views to myself in future.
Just wondering what training you would suggest for the likes of Keiron or myself? He seems to be in the same situation as me, self taught, has a good enough grasp on the product but doesn't have the deep level of understanding that you've mentioned.
I did recently do the Advanced Servicedesk training but apart from a couple of things everything else I'd already learnt from LANDesk documents or here on community. Speaking to others on the course who have completed most of the Servicedesk training courses they didn't think I'd benefit from any of those either. I'm currently "attempting" to teach myself BOO to be able to acheive more using calculations in processes but if you can recommend any in-house training I'd definitely be interested.
There is a 4 day administration course (LANDesk Service Desk Core Administration & Design) that I took was was very helpful. I would have been completely lost without it, this software isn't always as intuitive as we would like. They have a process course as well. If you know the admin basics and want to change processes (who doesn't) might be more what you want. I highly recommend the admin class for all admins. It is well worth the money as you won't need a consultant as much.
I found the consultant we had to be very capable and put together a nice starting point for us that worked well. No it wasn't prfect but it was pretty good. He did what we asked him to do, not what we wanted. Big difference there. He got us most of the way there and I "finished" the details. I say "finished" because after 2 years were still not done making changes but we do have a stable system that does what we need it to do. We just keep finding better ways to do things or new problems where Service Desk is the solution.
Thanks Carl I'll have a look at the Core Admin and Design course, see what it entails. I had hoped to do the Process Design course but after speaking to 2 people who have done it it didn't sound like I'd get much out of it. I had already built our Request processes from scratch pre upgrade to 7.4, our consultant did polish them up for me though, and even better showed me the bits I wasn't sure of. Since then he'd probably not recognise them if he came back over as they've been reworked and new processes created as well. As you say, you always find a better way of doing something - or in our case finding a way to stop certain analysts doing things!!
But definitely our consultant was great, I'd say in some things he didn't do what we asked for, he asked us what we were trying to acheive by it and then explained how we wouldn't get that with the design as we had it and reworked it so we would . And as I said, I was fairly new to being an admin of Servicedesk when he came over but he took the time to explain things to me and made me do them, and do them properly - I am now as pernickety about window design as he is

This letter is why I love you! I too am a VERY VOCAL woman. I have two girls who I would do anything to protect they are teenagers now . Just a little fyi you raise them to be strong independant woman and when they turn out to be just that it kinda sucks . They rebel against us. Any way I don't even like them to put their pictures on internet because of creepers . My heart goes out to you. The scale that you have to deal with it on. Keep strong and know that EVERYTHING you do for them is because they are yours and they are truely the thing that makes your heart sing.
I agree some of my most favorite is not on there although I love them all When pink first came out I said she was the real thing and here for along time. I have watched her journey and I know that the best is yet to come
Just wanted to say thank you for just being you. You are an amazing person inside and out . You speak to millions and say the things alot of us need to hear . Thank you for being our voice. You have made a great journey to where you are today. And I know that the best is yet to come. Good luck with the next exciting chapter in your life. LOVE YA !
