Ansible roles for OpenDJ
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 21 February 2014
My colleague Warren, who I had the pleasure to work with at Sun and again with ForgeRock, has been playing with Ansible and has produced 2 roles to install OpenDJ and to configure replication. Check Warren's blog post for the details, or go directly to the Ansible Galaxy.
About LDAP Syntaxes and backward compatibility…
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 20 February 2014
In the LDAP information model, a syntax constrains the structure and format of attribute values. OpenDJ defines and implements a large number of syntaxes (you can discover them by reading the ldapSyntaxes attribute from the cn=Schema entry).
But infrequently, we receive enquiries on an obscure and non standard syntax, often in the form of "I'm having an error importing schema from this or that legacy directory server", with an error message that ends with "No such syntax is configured for use in the Directory Server".
As syntaxes are constraining the structure and format of attribute values, they are implemented as code, specifically Java code in OpenDJ. It's possible to implement new syntaxes by implementing the org.opends.server.api.AttributeSyntax abstract class, and installing the classes or the JAR in OpenDJ classpath. But often, it's easier and more convenient to define a syntax by configuration, and OpenDJ offers 3 possibilities to define new syntaxes. In term of backward compatibility, I will only focus on the 2 main ones, by substitution and by pattern (the 3rd one allows to define enumeration of values).
With OpenDJ, you can define a new syntax by configuration and delegating the contraints to an already implemented syntax. A simple example is the URI syntax (which was defined is some very old schema with the OID 126.96.36.199.4.1.4401.1.1.1). A URI is really an ASCII string, and it might be sufficient to accept attributes with URI syntax to verify that all characters are pure ASCII. The standard syntax for ASCII strings is IA5String aka 18.104.22.168.4.1.14126.96.36.199.15.
ldapSyntaxes: ( 220.127.116.11.4.1.4401.1.1.1 DESC 'URI' X-SUBST '22.214.171.124.4.1.14184.108.40.206.15' )
Insert the above line in the schema LDIF file before the attributeTypes, and you're done.
The other option is to define the syntax as a pattern, using regular expressions. This could be better when willing to enforce additional constraints on an URI, for example, verifying that the URI is an LDAP one.
ldapSyntaxes: ( 999.999.999.1 DESC 'LDAP URI Syntax' X-PATTERN '^ldap://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]' )
So the next time you are trying to import some legacy schema to the OpenDJ directory server, and you have an error due to missing syntaxes, you know what to do to quickly resolve the problem.

OpenDJ Contact Manager for Android
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 26 November 2013
With OpenDJ 2.6.0, we've introduced a new way to access your directory data, using HTTP, REST and JSon. The REST to LDAP service, available either embedded in the OpenDJ server or as a standalone web application, is designed to facilitate the work of application developers. And to demonstrate the interest and the ease of use of that service, we've built a sample application for Android : the OpenDJ Contact Manager
The OpenDJ Contact Manager is an open source Android application that was built by Violette, one of the ForgeRock engineer working in the OpenDJ team. You can get the source code from the SVN repository : https://svn.forgerock.org/commons/mobile/contact-manager/trunk. Mark wrote some quite complete documentation for the project, with details on how to get and build the application. He published it at http://commons.forgerock.org/mobile/contact-manager/.
The whole application is just about 4000 lines of code, and most of it is dealing with the display itself. But you can find code that deals with asynchronous calls to the OpenDJ rest interface, with paging through results, and parsing the resulting JSON stream to populate the Contacts, including photos. Et voila :
The application is just a sample but it clearly is usable in its current form and will allow once a contact was retrieved from the OpenDJ directory, to add it to the Contacts standard application, call the person, locate its address on maps, send the person an email, navigate through the management chain…
In future versions, we are planning to add support for OAuth 2.0, removing the need to store credentials in the application settings.
As it's open source, feel free to play with it, hack and contribute back your changes.
LDAPCon 2013 – a summary…
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 22 November 2013
Last Monday and Tuesday (Nov 18-19), I was in Paris attending the 4th International LDAP Conference, an event I help to organize with LDAPGTF, a network of French actors in the LDAP and Identity space. ForgeRock was also one of the 3 gold sponsors of the conference along with Symas and Linagora.
The conference happens every other year and is usually organized by volunteers from the community. This year, the French guys were the most motivated, especially Clément Oudot from Linagora, leader of the LDAP Tool Box and lemonLDAP projects, and Emmanuel Lecharny one of the most active developers on Apache Directory Server.
I was honored to be the keynote and first speaker of the conference and presented "The Shift to Identity Relationship Management", which was well received and raised a lot of interest from the audience.
The first day was focusing more on the users of LDAP and directory services technologies, and several presentations were made about REST interfaces to directory services, including the standard in progress: SCIM.
Kirian Ayyagari, from the Apache Directory project, presented his work on SCIM and the eSCIMo project. Present for the first time at LDAPCon, Microsoft's Philippe Beraud spoke about Windows Azure Active Directory and its Graph API. And I talked about and demoed the REST to LDAP service that we've built in OpenDJ. For the demo, I used PostMan, a test client for HTTP and APIs, but also our newly open sourced sample application for Android : OpenDJ contact manager. In the afternoon, Peter Gietz talked about the work he did around SPML and SCIM leveraging OpenLDAP access log.
After many talks about REST, we had a series of talk around RBAC. Shawn McKinney presented the Fortress open source IAM project and more specifically the new work being done around RBAC. Then Peter, Shawn and Markus Widmer talked about the effort to build a common LDAP schema for RBAC. And Matthew Hardin talked about the OpenLDAP RBAC overlay bringing policy decisions within the directory when deploying Fortress.
Then followed presentations about local directory proxy services for security based on OpenLDAP, about Red Hat FreeIPA (another first appearance at LDAPCon) and about OpenLDAP configuration management with Apache Directory Studio. Also Stefan Fabel came all the way from Hawaii ( Aloha ! ) to present a directory based application for managing and reporting publications by a university: an interesting story about building directory schema and data model.
The day ended with a presentation from Clement Oudot about OpenLDAP and the password policy overlay. As usual, talking about the LDAP password policy internet-draft raises the question of when it will be finally published as an RFC. While there is a consensus that it's important to have a standard reference document for it, I'm failing to see how we can dedicate resources to achieve that goal. Let's see if someone will stand up and take the leadership on that project.
After such a long day of talks and discussion, most of the attendees converged to a nearby pub where we enjoyed beers and food while winding down the day through endless discussions.
The second day of LDAPCon 2013 was more focused on developers and the development of directory services. It was a mix of status and presentations of open source directory projects like OpenDJ, OpenLDAP or LSC, some discussions about backend services, performance design considerations and benchmarks, a talk about Spring LDAP… As usual, we had a little bit of a musical introduction to Howard Chu's presentation.
I enjoyed the Benchmark presentation by Jillian Kozyra, which was lively, rational and outlining the major difference between open source based products and closed source ones (although all closed source products were anonymized due to license restrictions). It's worth noting that Jillian is pretty new in the directory space and she seems to have tried to be as fair as possible with her tests, but she did say that the best documented product and the easiest one to install and deploy is OpenDJ. Yeah !!! :-)
Another interesting talk was Christian Hollstein's about his "Distributed Virtual Transaction Directory Server", a telco grade project he's working on to serve the needs of the 4G network services (such as HSS, HLR…). It's clear to me that telco operators and network equipment providers are now all converging to LDAP technologies for the network and this drives a lot of requirements on the products (something I knew since we started the OpenDS project at Sun, kept in mind while developing OpenDJ, even though right now our focus has mainly been on the large enterprises and consumer facing directory services).
All the slides of the conference have been made available online through the LDAPCon.org website and the Lanyrd event page. Audio has also been recorded and will be made available once processed. And as usual, all the photos that I took during the conference are publicly available in my Flickr LDAPCon 2013 Set. Feel free to copy for personal use.
It's been a great edition of the LDAPCon and I'm looking forward to the next one, in 2 years !
Meanwhile I'd like to thanks the sponsors, all 75 attendees, the 19th speakers and the 2 organizers I had not mentioned yet : M.C. Jonathan Clarke and Benoit Mortier.
Updates to opendj-utils
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 24 October 2013
About a year ago, I've introduced a set of OpenDJ scripts and utilities that I've built to facilitate my work with OpenDJ.
Last week, I've pushed some updates to the github repository.
The first improvements are in logstat.py. I've added support for collecting stats about the Abandon operation, as well as some counting and reports on the errors to each operation. This allows to get a feel of how many operations failed and the error code reported.
The second update is a new utility names filterstat.py which scans through access log files and builds a sorted list of all filters used in search requests. The filters are generalized and collated together, and the result should help administrators to understand which attributes should be indexed and what kind of index are required.
Here's a sample output of filterstat (based on an instance of OpenDJ used by OpenAM). The first value is the count and the string is the generic representation of the filter:
$ ~/opendj-utils/filterstat.py access processing file: access 213783 (&(uid=VALUE)(objectclass=VALUE)) 2080 (&(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))) 807 (&(objectclass=VALUE)(uniqueMember=VALUE)) 244 (&(cn=VALUE)(objectclass=VALUE)) 213 (&(&(uid=VALUE)(objectclass=VALUE))) 140 (&(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))) 63 (&(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))(|(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE)(sunxmlKeyValue=VALUE))) 39 (&(&(cn=VALUE)(objectclass=VALUE))) 6 (&(uid=*SUBSTRING*)(objectclass=VALUE)) 2 (&(objectclass=VALUE)(ou=VALUE)) 1 (&(&(uid=*)(objectclass=VALUE))(|(uid=VALUE))) Base search filters only: 2487 (|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=VALUE)) Done
Please give those tools a try and let me know how useful they are for you. And if you have ideas on how to improve them, feel free to fork them and contribute.
What a great ForgeRock European Open Identity Summit !
Last week, ForgeRock hosted its first european Open Identity Summit, in the "Chateau de Béhoust" just outside Paris. For two and half days, our 110+ visitors, a mix of customers, prospect customers, partners and consultants, could attend presentations, meet and greet with ForgeRock employees, have lengthy discussions with peers, exchanging experience or use case scenarios around the ForgeRock Open Identity Stack. All of this in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
All of the presentations have been filmed and will be available shortly through our web site and the summit page. If you missed the event and want to get a feel of the content, please check Simon Moffat's review.
As usual, I've taken a few pictures of the event.
Thanks to all attendees and sponsors of the event. And see you next year for the second edition of our ForgeRock summits.

I run Ubuntu and try to use the ffmpeg wrapper in Java from here: http://code.google.com/p/javacv/
It seems to work fine on other systems, but in Ubuntu the project crashes with the following mistake: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'avcodec_decode_video2': /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_decode_video2
ffmpeg is working great from the command line, though.
JavaCV author recommended me to check this link: http://linux-tipps.blogspot.com/2009/05/pretending-package-is-installed-by.html
Probably I'm doing something wrong, but it cannot reinstall libavcodec51 like this.
So the questions are: 1. Is those solution above a good one so I should bring it to success somehow? 2. What are the other ways to solve the problem?
Thank you for your suggestions in advance!

No. 352,138 7 Claims. (Cl. 106-39) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE BaTiO either in single crystal form or in polycrystalline ceramic form, is well known as a ferroelectric material. The many practical applications of BaTiO include, for example, electrical condensers, dielectric amplifiers, memory elements, positive temperature coefficient resistors and non-linear circuit elements such as voltage variable resistors, capacitors and diodes. In such applications, the significant properties include ferroelectric transition temperature, dielectric constant, dielectric losses, electrical resistivity, dielectric breakdown strength, change of dielectric constant with variations of temperature especially near room temperature, and ferroelectric hysteresis characteristics.
It is an object of this invention to improve the electrical characteristics of BaTiO ceramics and of single crystals.
A specific objective is. to improve the electrical characteristics of ceramic BaTiO for capacitor applications. Among the advantages obtained by the present invention for such applications are: improvement of the tempera ture characteristics of the dielectric constant by reduction of the peak occurring at the ferroelectric transition temperature of about 120 C., reduction of dielectric losses, increase of the electric resistivity and of the stability of the material at elevated temperature under electric field.
Another specific objective is to modify the characteristicsof BaTiO single crystals to suit some of the other applications mentioned above. The advantages obtained by the present invention include control of the ferroelectric transition temperature of single crystals, between --10 and +120, according to need, thereby controlling the value of the dielectric constant and of the spontaneous polarization at room temperature, control of the rate of change of the dielectric constant with temperature and increase of the electrical resistivity of the material to much higher values than obtainable by known methods. By proper choice of the ferroelectric transition temperature it is also possible to obtain hysteresis loops with better symmetry, larger remanent polarization and smaller coercive force.
The foregoing and other objects are obtained in BaTiO according to the present invention, by concurrently incorporating zinc and fluorine ions in the crystal structure of BaTiO I have found on the basis of experimental data and of theoretical analysis that these ions are substituted, in principle, according to the stoichiometric formula Ba(Ti Zn,,)O F where x is preferably between about 0.001 and 0.020.
The improvements achieved in the modified single crystal and ceramic materials of the present invention may be better understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the dielectric constant (K) and loss tangent (L.T.) of various polycrystalline ceramic BaTiO materials over a temperature range of -25 C. to 150 C. The curves correspond to the compositions shown in Table I, below.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the dielectric constant (K) and loss tangent (L.T.) of single crystals of modified BaTiO of the present invention (curves E, E, F and F) compared with a single crystal of unmodified BaTiO (curves G and G) over a temperature range of 50" C. to 150 C.
The addition of Zn and F ions to polycrystalline BaTiO ceramic materials may be made by firing in an oxidizing atmosphere a mixture of BaTiO and suitable compounds of Zn and P such as ZnO, ZnCO BaF CaF ZnF SnF or MgF Alternatively, the ions of Zn and F may be added during the formation of BaTiO In this manner, a modified BaTiO ceramic material, may be formed by mixing BaTiO -forming compounds such as BaCO and Ti0 with suitable compounds of Zn and F such as ZnO and BaF compressing and sintering in an oxidizing atmosphere.
I have found that the addition of both zinc and fluorine ions'is necessary to obtain the desired improvement in the electrical characteristics of barium titanate in accordance with the present invention. This is illustrated in FIG. 1, described with reference to Table I, below, with compositions A, B, C, D, corresponding to the curves similarly identified in FIGURE 1.
TABLE I Compositions of B T10 Batch Composition (gm. mole) It will be noted that a sharp increase in dielectric con stant occurs at about C. (FIGURE 1) for the sample containing no additive (sample A) as well as for samplescontaining zinc only (sample B) or fluorine only (sample C). However, in the sample containing both zinc and fluorine (sample D), the sharp increase in dielectric constant at about 120 C. has been flattened considerably. Similarly, the loss tangent is lower for sample D than for the other samples. These improvements are therefore a function at the zinc and fluorine ions incorporated into the lattice structure of BaTiO Example 1, below, describes the method of preparation of composition D. The other compositions (A, B, and C) were prepared in a similar manner, however, altering the constituents to provide the compositions shown in Table I.
EXAMPLE I 178 parts by weight of BaCO were mixed with 76 parts by weight of Ti0 and 8 parts by Weight ZnO and 9 parts by weight BaF The mixture was pelletized and fired at 1200 C. in air for 6 hours. The fired pellets were then ground, pelletized and fired at 1300 C. in air for 6 hours to yield dense pellets of BaTiO doped with Zn and F ions. An electrically heated furnace was used to preference to a gas fired furnace in order to minimize the amount of moisture present during firing. This was done to avoid excessive volatilization of fluorine which occurs when excessive moisture is present during the firing step.
The dielectric constant and loss tangent of the resulting ceramic material was measured at various temperatures Patented Sept. 5, 1967' 3 between 25 C. and 150 C. The data is plotted as curves D and D in FIG. 1.
In order to reduce fluorine volatilization, the rate of reaction should be as high as possible. For this purpose, the use of homogeneous mixtures of batch materials, consisting of very fine particles, and sintering at lower temperatures in oxidizing atmosphere, free of water vapor, is beneficial. The use of very well mixed or coprecipitated batch materials and sintering by hot pressing is particularly desirable.
Of the fluorides used in the batch preparation according to Example 7, only a small fraction of the fluorine ions is incorporated in the lattice. The quantity of fluorine found after firing, as reported in Table I, Column D, represents the fluorine stabilized in the lattice. The remainder of the fluorine is volatilized by hydrolysis, and the BaF from which the fluorine is volatilized is converted into BaO, a normal batch constituent, for the formation of BaTiO Substantial amounts of BaF can be used in substitution for BaCO without ill effects if reaction conditions are such as to cause hydrolysis of the excess fluoride. A fluorine bearing gas may be introduced in the furnace atmosphere in order to suppress volatilization of fluorine from the batch. In such case the amount of fluoride added to the batch may be somewhat reduced.
From the zinc compound used in the batch, a quantity of zinc in about 1:2 mol ratio of Zn to stabilized fluorine is incorporated in the BaTiO lattice. The excess Zn will form a second phase, such as Zn TiO which is not desirable in larger amounts, since it does not have the advantageous electrical properties of the modified BaTiO For this reason, it is preferred that the amount of zinc compound in the batch does not exceed about 0.1 gr. mole per gr. mole BaTiO and it should be used in the batch preparation in substitution for both barium and titanium Under conditions where fluorine volatilization is less, a more complete incorporation of fluorine in the lattice is obtainable, the amount of zinc needed in the batch is lower since the fraction of Zn atoms incorporated in the lattice is greater.
Generally, the addition of zinc to BaTiO will increase the solubility of fluorine in the lattice. However, zinc cannot be introduced into the lattice without the presence of fluorine. Fluorine, on the other hand, can be introduced into the BaTiO lattice without zinc addition, but it has no effect on the ferroelectric transition temperature. Because of the possibility of introducing fluorine by other means, such as by the presence of fluorine-bearing gases in the furnace atmosphere, in which case the addition of zinc would only further enhance the uptake of fluorine, it is not possible to establish an upper limit for the fluorine. The lower limit of the number of fluorine atoms can be established as at least twice the number of atoms of zinc present in the BaTiO lattice.
The electrical characteristics of single crystals of barium titan'ate may also be modified in incorporating zinc and fluorine into the lattice structure of the crystal. Single crystals may be prepared by partially dissolving barium titana te powder and a source of zinc ions such as zinc oxide, zinc fluoride, or zinc carbonate in a potassium fluoride flux at temperatures of about 1100 to 1250 C., and then crystallizing from the flux at a slow rate of cooling.
The electrical characteristics of single crystals grown in this manner are shown in FIGURE 2. In the figure, curves E and F show the variation of dielectric constant (K) as a function of temperature for single crystals grown in accordance with the procedure described in Example 2, below. The variation of loss tangents ('L.T.) as a function of temperature of the same crystals is shown by curves E and F. Curves G and G, show similar functions for a barium titanate crystal grown from a potassium fluoride flux with no zinc ions present. It will be noted from FIG. 2 that a higher dielectric constant at room temperature is obtained in the crystals grown in accordance with Example 2.
4 EXAMPLE 2 A mixture of 15 grams of CR grade BaTiO powder, 0.25 gram of ZnO and 0.25 gram of BaF all in powder form and intimately mixed, were placed in a platinum crucible with 33.5 g. potassium fluoride, added to form a top layer. The crucible was covered with a platinum cover sheet, and heated for 6 hours at 1150 C., then cooled at a rate of 20 C./ hr. to 900 C. at which time the remaining flux was poured off. The crucible was then placed back in the furnace and allowed to cool gradually to room temperature. In the crucible single crystal platelets with a butterfly twin growth habit were found. The crystals were cubic at room temperature exhibiting a perovskite type structure and were characterized electrically by dielectric constants and loss tangents shown as a function of temperature in FIG. 2 (curves E, E, F and F).
In this method an ample source of fluorine ions is provided by the potassium fluoride flux, and the volatilization of fluorine, found to be a limiting factor for ceramic preparations, is of no concern. Single crystal specimens were pulverized and leached with dilute hydrochloric acid to eliminate flux inclusions and other impurities not incorporated in the crystal structure. The material was then chemically analyzed and found to contain 0.013 gr. atom of zinc and 0.056 gr. atoms of fluorine per gr. mole BaTiO Crystals grown without zinc addition, whose charac-teristics are also shown in FIG. 3 (Curves G and G), contain about 0.03 gr. atoms fluorine substituting for missing oxygen ions in lattice. The diiference in fluorine content between the two cases is 0.026 gr. atoms, that is twice the number of zinc atoms found in the lattice. On this basis, the stoichiometry of the crystal growth, disregarding the fluorine addition which occurs without the presence of zinc, is BaTi Zn O F or in a more general form BaTi Zn O F It will be seen that this formula satisfies the rule of electrostatic neutrality of the lattice.
The amount of zinc and fluorine found to be incorporated into the lattice, according to the example above, does not necessarily represent the limit of solid solubility of the system. Larger amounts may be substituted by adding more ZnO to the batch. However, the control of the ferroelectric transition temperature between about room temperature and C. is of primary interest. If the lattice contains more than .013 gram atoms of Zn per gram mole of BaTiO the ferroelectric transition temperature is shifted farther below room temperature, where the properties are of less practical interest.
The assumption that zinc atoms are substituted in titanium positions is based on several facts and considerations. The main evidence is that zinc containing crystals are P-type conductors while crystals without zinc are N- type. Acceptor states responsible for conductivity inversion are only possible if the bivalent zinc ion takes the place of a higher valency cation which can be titanium, but not barium. Furthermore, the replacement of a Ti+ ion (ionic radius 0.68 A.) with an ion of Zn (radius 0.74 A.) would cause an expansion of the lattice from tetragonal to cubic as is the case in the crystals of the present invention. On the other hand, Zinc in replacement of barium ion could only lead to structures different from the present perovskite lattice, such as the spinel structure, because of misfit of ionic radii.
The crystal containing 0.013 gr. atoms of zinc transforms, on heating, to the cubic structure at about 0 C. Crystals containing smaller amounts of zinc have transition temperatures between 0 C. and 120 C., and have therefore different ferroelectric properties and different temperature characteristics of dielectric constant at around room temperature. At a zinc level of 0.001 gr. atom per gm. mole of BaTiO the transition temperature is near 120 C. By increase of the zinc content from 0.001 to 0.01 (atoms per mole BaTiO the ferroelectric transition temperature and the peak of the dielectric constant will progressively shift from 120 C. to room temperature and below. Such additions are also advantageous for increasing the resistivity of the crystal, decreasing the loss tangents and for obtaining more stable and improved hysteresis characteristics. Crystals can also be grown with higher zinc content, up to at least 0.02 gr. atoms per gr. mol BaTi0 As mentioned previously, these crystals are of P-type conductivity. P-type crystals have higher resistivity and lower loss tangents than N-type crystals grown without zinc addition because the mobility of P-type charge carriers is lower. A substantial increase of resistivity is also obtained, for this reason, in Zinc and fluorine containing ceramic materials. Higher resistivity is associated with higher breakdown strength, and better stability of electrical characteristics in general, under exposure to electrical load or to elevated temperatures.
Various methods can be used for controlling the zinc content of BaTiO crystals grown from fluoride fluxes, such as the use of different amounts ofa zinc compound added to the BaTiO powder, the use of different ratios between BaTiO and flux and different growth temperatures. The use of BaF shown in Example 2 is beneficial but it is not a necessary condition. Non-fluoride fluxes may also be used, provided that fluorides are present in an amount at least twice the quantity of zinc to be introduced into the crystal.
It will be evident to one skilled in the art that variations and modifications can be practical within the scope of the invention, as described above and defined in the appended claims.

I recently bought a home with Craftsman Chain drive 1/2hp GDO on the garage doors. Not sure of the age of the openers, but they do NOT have the terminals for the IR Sensors. Yesterday as the door was closing it bound just as it was near the closed position. I disconnected the door opener and tried to isolate the binding problem, but the door seems to work fine, with no binding or apparent problems, opens and closes smoothly each time. The door opener now seems to only want to try to close the door it will not open the door at all. I disconnected the opener and operated it thinking it needed to cycle to get back to it's default closed position but still no use. It sounds as if it is under a load even with the door disconnected. I am thinking that the opener is stuck in the closing cycle and for whatever reason is not able to reset or reverse. Any suggestions or should I just spend the money and replace the opener?
Don't know but the Garage/Workshop forum has dozens of posts on Craftman garage door openers & they even have a couple of guys that repair them for a living come on & tell you what to do.(Thought I was going to get help organizing my garage LOL) If my Craftman door needs help, that's the place to go. it's about 28 yrs old so probably will outlast me!!

Instead of a /surrender vote popup "spam" every few minutes wouldn't it be less intrusive and more clean to do it the following way?
A greyed out small white flag button under the minion count at the top right of the interface. We are talking size similar to the ping buttons on the map. After 20 minutes the button becomes enabled and is no longer greyed out.
If you push the button a popup appears "Would you like to surrender?" Yes/No
After being selected (Yes) the button turns green. It can be pushed again to toggle it to red and change your mind about surrendering.
Edit: /Surrender in chat toggles your vote to yes. /Unsurrender untoggles your vote to no.
The game continues uninterrupted and WITH NO SURRENDER VOTING until 4/5 people have toggled surrender.
After 4/5 members have selected to surrender the surrender occurs and their nexus is destroyed.
At disconnect or leave for more than 5 minutes a player is considered to have toggled yes to surrender automatically. If they return the toggle is set back to No.
If you like the idea above, please show your support by replying to the thread. Otherwise Rioters may not see it.
Edit: Keep The Replies Going!! +1650 thumbs up and counting! Awesome guys!
Hopefully we get some red attention soon. This is a good quality of life change.
Good feedback! So far the thread summary is positive. Many players have expressed wishes that a final surrender confirmation box appears when 4/5 people have toggled yes.
Edit: Can any riot employees pass this on to the appropriate department?
Edit: Good feedback! Another idea put forth is for the popup that appears after toggling the flag to show the current yes count. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Edit: 1000 Upvote Milestone!!! Wohoo! Keep it coming guys!
Every time you +1 without posting another person plays Teemo.

The only problem with this I could see would be people forgetting to toggle the flag and having an unintended surrender go through, but I really like this idea!
You could also have /surrender and /unsurrender to toggle it without clicking it.
Nah, bad idea. People already give up way too easy - once this happened people would be surrendering after every bad teamfight after 20 minutes.
Bump for glooory.

I honestly don't see why it isn't like this already.
It'd make things simpler.

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan 4 Dr SE Passenger Van Extended Review
Very good gas mileage
It's a little big sometimes.
It's Been Good! — The Grand Caravan has the Mitsubishi 3 liter engine, which was my engine of choice. I like the high-revving capability of the 3.0. The only problems have occurred recently, at 99700 miles. 1. The air condition pulley keeps throwing off belts, and I've been told that this is because the pulley is out of alignment. Haven't had it fixed yet. 2. Air Bag idiot light keeps going on and off. 3. Oil pan has a Kelly plug because of an incompetent shadetree mechanic (myself) insisted on changing oil himself and rounded off the drain plug. Other than a failed battery, that has been all in the last 8 years of ownership! Once I work out the handful of bugs, I may just keep it.
Owner for 8 years, 3 months
Miles Driven per Year:12,000

I like being able to fill it with E-85
mileage sucks but it does on most mini vans
Roomy, Nice Ride, Nice To Drive — Has decent performance, it is a mini van so not going to win any races, the fuel economy isnt that great but its ok. has plenty of room, i hauled a washer and my wife and 2 kids still had plenty of room. styling isnt to bad ours has a decal on it so that makes it look a little better.

height, safety
gas milage, cheap interior parts.
Love It, But Would Like A Little More Quality To Have Gone Into It. — Love the space and height of the van, LOVE the built in car seats. I can get my kids in and out easily, and see them easy when driving. Has some problems now, that are fixable, nothing horribly major. nice height off road for driving, can see well, only one small blind spot. switches seem to be cheap since several are broken or almsot broken.

good family van
just dont salvage title it
Cheap And Affordable — This van has good performance, it goes from 0-60 in 6.0 seconds and it does have an amount of $40 for gas and $20 for maintenance. This would be the best family van because it is cheap and runs awesome because my van has 360,000 miles on it and is still running good. The condition of my van outside and inside is okay but outside is bad.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Roomy, great looking (for a minivan), powerful, decent gas mileage
Other than the fact that it's over a decade old and has it's share of wear and tear, none
98 Grand Caravan Sport — Yeah, go ahead and laugh but I love this van. It's roomy, powerful and fully loaded with power everything and a killer Infinity sound system. I drove it to Colorado and back this summer without a lick of trouble and got 25 mpg.

Smith & Wesson came out with a 1911 in scandium made by there performance center. This is the 1911 I want MSRP is $1500 and I would rather plunk the money down on this, than a Wilson Combat, or any of the other real high custom jobs.
If you're going to build as 1911, do it right. Go 10mm!
I built 3 of those sarco kits up a couple months ago. LOTS of hand fitting involved. Frame to slide alone took better than a day to get it right. Tools are expensive and only work for 1911.
Bottom line $325 each for parts kits and frames, $275 in tools. $416.67 each not counting custom parts and time. You decide if its worth it for yourself, answers may vary....
FYI: by the way i' m a machinist by trade and don' t count all the precision measuring tools in the above estimate...

About the Ticket Supplier: Boston Celtics
Quite simply, the Boston Celtics are "the Franchise," Celtics Green is "the color," and the winking leprechaun that serves as the team's logo symbolizes five decades of NBA tradition.
A charter member of the Basketball Association of America (which evolved into the NBA), Boston flies more title banners from the rafters of its home arena than any other franchise.

Charles E. Choate (1865-1929)
Designs railroad towns, and the largest concentration of his work is found in Sandersville and Tennille in Washington County, where Choate settled at the turn of the century.
Charles Edward Choate was born on August 31, 1865, in Houston County. He was a student at the University of Georgia by 1889 and began a ten-year period of architectural apprenticeships throughout the 1890s (with Peter Dennis in Macon, George Thompson in Dublin, and Joseph Turner in Augusta). In 1892, with Wesley W. DeHaven, he established the partnership of DeHaven and Choate.
At Methodist minister, serving churches across middle Georgia. He studied at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1897 to 1898, and the next year a newspaper account announced that Choate would begin collaborating with the Reverend George C. Thompson. Thompson, a minister-architect specializing in church design, was the architect of the Methodist church in Dublin. Choate's church designs include the brick Romanesque revival Tennille Baptist Church (1900), showing the influence of H. H. Richardson; Methodist churches for Wrightsville and Stillmore, in Georgia (1907); the Second Presbyterian Church (1908) of Greenville, South Carolina; and the grand Park Street United Methodist Church in Atlanta (1912).
His early work, however, is best evidenced by the several buildings in Sandersville and Tennille that
This spirit of "high style" elaboration informed Choate's remodeling in the 1890s of the Plantation Plain–style Brantley-Haygood House (1850s) into an Eclectic Victorian great house of paired veranda posts, porch turret, harp brackets, and projecting cornices. Similar features characterize the Queen Anne–style Paris-Veal "Silk Stocking Street" house of 1900, nicknamed in reference to Rachel Paris's penned remembrances of her family. Choate's versatility is evidenced by his last Tennille house design, the Kelley-Mertz House (1919-20), a stuccoed and tile-roofed Craftsman bungalow.
During most of the first decade of the twentieth century, Choate lived and practiced out of Augusta, where several of his houses survive in the Green Street Historic District. By 1909 Choate and Cyril B. Smith had opened an office in the Candler Building in Atlanta, and about five years later Deford Smith joined the firm. In 1925 financial difficulties resulted in Choate's moving to Florida, where he worked in Tampa and Orlando before moving to Montgomery, Alabama, where he spent the final two years of his life. In 1929 he moved to Maysville, Kentucky, the hometown of his wife, Agnes Dodson. He died there that same year.

2014 sees the debut of One Night Wonders, a series of top-class spoken word shows to run in Melbourne throughout 2014. Four headline acts from Australia and overseas will perform full-length solo shows that will be recorded, mastered and released as live albums. This way we'll capture the best writing from four illustrious careers, along with the live atmosphere that gives so much vitality to stories, poetry and spoken word.
Small audiences can be part of this live recording, in a series of up-close performances in the plush Mission to Seafarers Chapel on Flinders Street. There's a bar, a courtyard, a garden, the occasional sailor, and support acts to get each evening going. Supported by the City of Melbourne, entry at the door is by donation (from zero dollars up), or seats can be pre-booked for a fee. Given the small venue, booking is a good idea.

Proper potting technique for potted rose tree
Size of pot?
1 inch gravel at bottom of pot?
Best potting soil? (Since we'll be winterizing this in the garage I am concerned with the weight of the pot)
I came across this:
To prepare a container for the rose to be planted in, place a layer about one inch deep of gravel or other medium sized rocks in the bottom of the container. This serves as drainage and prevents the soil from becoming too compressed at the bottom. Next, to prepare the soil, combine one third good quality commercial potting soil, one third well- aged garden compost (if this is not available then substitute more of the potting soil) and one third well-composted mushroom or steer manure. You may wish to add an extra cup of perlite to the mix to enhance drainage. It is beneficial to the rose to add one cup of bonemeal to the soil. To increase the nutrient level, fishmeal and bloodmeal may be added. Roses are heavy feeders, as they need fertile conditions to produce many blooms over the growing season.
Fill the container about two-thirds full with the soil mix. Place the rose, with its roots spread out comfortably, over the slightly mounded soil. Then fill in around the rose with the remaining earth. Press down gently and firmly around the protruding canes. The soil surface should be level with the bud union (where the rose is grafted onto the rootstock). If the rose seems too deep in the container or the soil level is well below the brim of the pot, repeat the planting procedure. The soil will compress somewhat with time and the entire contents will sink somewhat in the container. It is advisable to fill the container right to the top. Water so that the contents are well saturated. Containers dry out more quickly than soil in the ground; it is important to water container roses often, especially during long periods of drought and heat. A quick spot-check for dryness will determine whether a rose needs to be watered. Scratch about an inch down into the soil. If it is totally dry the rose is in need of fluid.
from my experience scratching down halfway or a bit more in to that type soil in a pot will show wet soggy soil no mater how long its been sense the last watering.
don't know anything about roses though so that could be good but I would expect not good.
there are plenty of threads on this forum about pine bark based potting mixes that would probably best suit your needs for growing in pots.
it is an interesting subject which is fun to mess around with and makes a lot of sense to me and seems to work for many on here, and from my short experience is working for me too.
If your primary concern is the weight of the soil, I'll leave you to figure out what's lightest. If your focus is offering your plant(s) the best opportunity to come as close as possible to realizing their potential, you can do a LOT better than the suggested soil and methodology you inquired about in the OP.
1/3 commercial potting soil (regardless of its quality) + one third well-aged garden compost + one third well-composted mushroom or steer manure will yield an extremely water retentive soil that lacks adequate aeration, and even an equal part of perlite won't help. You're also at risk of fertilizer burn or ammonium toxicity (especially when it's cool and/or cloudy) if you're not VERY careful about using a combination of fishmeal/bloodmeal. A good soluble synthetic fertilizer would be easier, more efficient, and less likely to burden you with issues related to your nutrient supplementation.
Rose trees and or roses are notorious for dying in a conatiner mix that does what Al is saying within the first season.
I would invest in a good soilless mix that is suggested my many here....Just type in 'Tapla Mixes' in the garden web search feature and you will get a great start!
Al I wish for my rose tree to flourish. Just when trying to figure it out. I'd seen mention of using a light soil in pots that need winterized and assumed that the route to go.Which I had no idea one considered that. Now that I know otherwise...I'll forgo that option.
Bummer...our mature compost was just pushed over a steep ravine hill in hopes to remedy a horrible dead smell that we wasn't sure was coming from that area. Or down wind to our lake association. It seemed to help...but again it depends on cross winds. So still not saying it totally fixed our problem.
So where does one get mature compost? Garden center?
Can I stick to Miracle Grow? And how often would you suggest it? On the YouTube video I watched it said every other water. Then or said after you deadhead.
I've ground cover roses and they are simple. But I do wish to give this tree a chance. Not only is it pretty...it was a gift from my boys.
Meyermike...soulless mixture. Is that the gritty soil I have read about? I'll check it out as well.
I'm just leaving it in the pot it came from until I know how not to kill it.
cadillactaste, I have been doing a lot of work looking into soil and potting before I plant my container roses, since I will need to overwinter them too. Here is what I think I am going to do:
Get a large planter, line the bottom with newspaper and then some stone. Wrap the sides in bubble wrap for added insulation during the winter.
I've considered making my own soil blend (specifically this one but the more I look into it the more complicated it seems to get!
In the end I think I will follow the advice in the comments of that post and get this pre-mixed soil and and then use fish fertilizer.
FWIW - the newspaper will just slow drainage and retain more water. The stones won't improve drainage ..... in fact, they are counter-productive because they will cause water to perch in the soil ABOVE your drainage layer; and the bubble wrap won't offer any protection against killing lows - it will just marginally increase the length of time it takes for the temperature to reach that critical temp.
CT - there are different ways to look at a soil. To me, a heavy soil is one that retains a lot of excess (perched) water. Light soils aren't necessarily light in weight, but they are airy and hold little or no excess (perched) water. Mature compost, or any kind of compost is great in the gardens & beds, but can quickly become problematic in containers because of its small particle size and its propensity to hold LOTs of water ...... something you'd be better to avoid in containers. If you concentrate on ensuring your chosen soil will retain adequate amounts of air (even at container capacity) for the expected interval between repots (different than just potting up) you'll be offering your plants a better opportunity to grow closer to their genetic potential.
The fertilizer part is easy. If your soil has dolomite in it (which has the Ca/Mg Miracle-Gro lacks), you can use their all purpose 24-8-16 or 12-4-8. Don't concern yourself about building a soil to feed the plant. That's what fertilizers are for - container gardening is much different than growing in the earth, and many of the strategies (like feed the soil and not the plant) are best left in the garden.

Tiruchirapalli City Corporation plans to create over 100 recharge pits for harvesting rainwater
Tiruchirapalli City Corporation has begun a survey to identify insanitary toilets and buildings in the city in order to initiate appropriate follow-up measures, said Corporation Commissioner V.P. Thandapani here on Wednesday.
The survey will enumerate toilets and buildings considered insanitary if they do not have proper disposal mechanism for human waste. Toilets which are not connected to the underground drainage or septic tanks, and those which let out sewage into open drains will be considered insanitary.
Once the survey is completed, notice will be issued to owners to initiate appropriate measures, he said at a workshop on 'Simple steps to achieve water security – rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling,' organised by the Rain Centre, Chennai, and SCOPE, a voluntary organisation, in the city.
Mr. Thandapani said the civic body had planned to create over 100 re-charge pits for harvesting rainwater across the city, especially in areas where rainwater is found stagnant.
Emphasising the need for proper design and maintenance of rainwater harvesting structures (RWH), Mr. Thandapani said the corporation had taken up a campaign to ensure that all buildings in the city had RWH structures last year. However, many buildings are yet to be provided with RWH structures or require rejuvenation of existing ones.
He said RWH structures should be designed properly in proportion to the built-up area and open space in a particular building, and the quantity of the rainwater that could be harvested. In most buildings, RWH structures had been put up to meet minimal requirement. Town planning officers and engineers should ensure that the structures were designed properly taking into account the annual average rainfall of the area and the soil conditions.
Sekhar Raghavan, Director, Rain Centre, Akash Ganga Trust, which had set up the Rain Centre, had received a grant from Arghyam, a non-governmental organisation based in Bangalore, to conduct 15 workshops on efficient methods of rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling in Tamil Nadu. Six of them had been held in Chennai and three each are being organised in Coimbatore, Madurai, and Tiruchi, he said.

(En español: Fractura)
Say: frak-chur
When a bone breaks, it's called a fracture. If you ever hurt yourself and think you might have a fracture, don't move! Wait until someone comes to help you because fractures only get worse when they're moved around. Usually, a doctor will put a cast around the fracture to protect the area and help it heal.
