John Baines Johnston
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2010)
Sir John Baines Johnston GCMG KCVO (1918–2005) was a British diplomat. He is best known for being Britain's High Commissioner to Rhodesia when that colony made its Unilateral Declaration of Independence in November 1965.[1]
Johnston was born on May 13, 1918, at Maryport, Cumberland, the son of a Church of England clergyman. and was educated at Banbury Grammar School and Queen's College, Oxford. He served with the Gordon Highlanders in the Second World War.
In 1947 Johnston joined the British Colonial Office, and three years later was sent to the Gold Coast (now Ghana) for 18 months before returning to London, where he was appointed principal private secretary to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Oliver Lyttelton. His duties included working on the new Nigerian constitution and the future of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
In 1956–57, Johnston was head of the Far Eastern Department of the Colonial Office, concerned with delivering independence to Malaya and the future of Singapore. He then transferred to the Commonwealth Relations Office (CRO), where he was head of the Defence and Western Department before being appointed deputy high commissioner in South Africa in 1959.
In 1961 he was appointed High Commissioner in Sierra Leone, then in 1963 he was appointed High Commissioner to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which was dissolved on December 31. He then became the high commissioner to (Southern) Rhodesia.
His tenure in Rhodesia[edit]
Johnston had to deal with what he described as "hardcore racialists" in the Rhodesian Front government (under Ian Smith), as well as with the African nationalists leaders Joshua Nkomo and the Rev Ndabaningi Sithole.
As far as Rhodesia was concerned, Johnston had to try to convince the Rhodesian Front that the British government could not allow independence without firm guarantees that the African population would make rapid progress to the management of their own affairs (whites made up only 7% of the population, but had control of the government). For a year he was the "middleman" as Britain and Rhodesia attempted to hammer out a constitutional basis for independence, with Britain insisting on eventual majority rule.
Johnston's view of Ian Smith (Rhodesia's prime minister), was uncompromising: "a dour, humourless man who could see no point of view but his own".[2] But for a time Johnston believed that, if negotiations continued, the threat of UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence) might be averted.
So tense was the atmosphere in the Rhodesian capital, Salisbury, that Johnston found it impossible to establish relaxed friendships. For his part, Smith found Johnston a "strange man" to deal with.
On November 11, 1965, Smith declared UDI, and Johnston was withdrawn the next day. In January 1966 he was appointed KCMG.
Career after UDI[edit]
Johnston had a period as Assistant Under-Secretary at the Commonwealth Office, in charge of information services and relations with India and Pakistan; he was then Deputy Under-Secretary in charge of Africa during the time of the Nigerian Civil War.
In 1971 he was appointed High Commissioner in Malaysia, whose independence constitution he had helped to negotiate earlier in his career; he had also represented the British government at the independence celebrations.
His final posting was as High Commissioner in Canada (1974–78). Johnston was appointed CMG in 1962; KCVO in 1972; and GCMG in 1978.
From 1978 to 1985, he was a Governor of the BBC.
Johnston died on October 16, 2005.

Featured Golf Course Review:
|Calverton Links -- Excellent Overall
|Review by: J.M.
|18 hole par 71. The above review must mean hole # 8. I treat this course as my home course or club, playing it 30-40 times a year. With it's great service and friendly people, it's always a pleasure. The course is always in great shape, and while six of the par fours are on the short side, the course is not easy. The greens are either sloped or two tiered and tough pin placements can raise par by a stroke on each hole.

Thales extends armed forces' full-IP theatre network technologies to French military SATCOM system
Thales has been tasked by the French defence procurement agency (DGA) with extending the full-IP network that supports convergence between French armed forces' theatre networks to the entire Syracuse military SATCOM ground segment.
The Syracuse system currently provides secure, interoperable services to information system users in the theatre and at all levels in the French armed forces chain of command, supporting several frequency bands, notably X band, Ku band and EHF.
Work conducted by Thales will give the French armed forces a fast, secure, full-IP, multi-band unified theatre network capability, operating in the X, EHF, Ku and Ka bands. This totally interoperable, added-value network will guarantee users uninterrupted, flexible and complementary services. It will afford unprecedented end-to-end quality of service, encompassing tactical networks down to the lowest theatre levels, such as Venus and Astride.
The network supports X- and Ka-band services for future "SATCOM on-the-move" platforms—including land vehicles, ships, aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—through Thales's proven SYSTEM 21 satellite transmission system, designed for mobility and compatible with the STANAG 4606 standard adopted by NATO.
This approach accommodates the latest developments from Thales in France and export markets in areas such as secure, NATO-standard modem systems, management, operating and supervision systems, and IP networks. It will also make it possible to optimise human resources for deployments, operations and logistic support.
This unified, full-IP, multi-service, multi-band network is fully in line with future joint forces theatre communications projects and with the COMSAT NG system set to succeed Syracuse.

'Gossip Girl' Stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley Split
"They're professionals," an insider tells the magazine. "They're still good friends and hang out on the set."
Badgley, 24, told Us Weekly a year ago that the working/dating dynamic was no big deal. "Some would say it's a double-edged sword, but in our case, we manage to balance it well," he said.
Lively, 23, has added some major film work to her resume lately, featured in Ben Affleck's 'The Town' and starring alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming 'Green Lantern.'
Lively and Badgley made PopEater's Hollywood Couples We're Rooting For list last February. We wrote, "We're definitely rooting for the Upper East Side's most beautiful young couple. Even on a set where gorgeous cast members and extras come and go, this couple has stayed true. Our fingers are crossed for these two."
The breakup didn't seem to shake up the 'Gossip Girl' set, according to Us Weekly's insider. "Nobody on set had any idea. They're really just private."

Don´t you mean "that´s love" rather than "loonywood"? Most people who meet at twenty don´t stay together for life, that´s not something unique for actors. At least they lasted 3 years.

Alex, I stand corrected. It is just publicized more if you are famous. You are right three years is a long romance for someone so young. They both seem like decent people.

Anyone who can be so popular and get the money he gets must be pretty messed up and is a train wreck waiting to happen. If I was his wife, with those cute little kids, I would run and not look back. I wish him the best, no ill but would hate to see little girls thinking all this is okay. People need to stop watching the show to show their protest, but they won't, so keep the role model in your home.

Hello Joe Gillbanks,
we all have to start somewhere, and here you are!
I'm guessing you're a chap, Joe not Jo, so clothing should be incredibly easy for you to begin gently. If you attend events ( you can find many posted on Facebook), bring your camera along and all you need to wear if you're shy is: pair trousers (NOT denims!), a collarless shirt and a waistcoat - done. You won't stand out and you won't feel out of place either.

Uruguay's nearly universal water supply and sanitation coverage provides a high quality of service and infrastructure, compared to other Latin American countries.
The utility submitted a revised version of its business plan to Ofwat in a bid to end an impasse with the U.K. regulator over what it can charge for the five-year period starting 2015.
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. announced its enhanced smart water solution, which now supports improved water metering for multi-service municipal utilities. As part of the updated water metering system, the company will be integrating its standards-based IPv6 network with multiple modules from Master Meter Inc.
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. announced that it has been selected for an advanced, multi-application smart grid deployment for City Utilities of Springfield, a community-owned utility delivering electricity, natural gas and water services to more than 106,000 customers in southwest Missouri.
Welsh Water is the sixth largest of the ten regulated water and sewerage companies in England and Wales. Responsible for providing over three million people with a continuous, high quality supply of drinking water and for taking away, treating and properly disposing of the wastewater that is produced, we are fully committed to delivering best quality service at least possible cost.
Caesars Entertainment, one of America's largest gaming companies headquartered in Las Vegas, has invested over $70 million dollars in water and energy efficiency projects since 2004. The company has decreased its water consumption by 18 percent since 2008.
Utility Week™ Live incorporating IWEX is the UK's first and only exhibition dedicated to the business, operational and technical needs of the UK's water, electricity and gas utilities. Building on the rich heritage of IWEX – Faversham House's long-standing exhibition aimed at the UK water companies, their contractors and manufacturing and process ...
The Curtin University research found that fresh fruit production in tomatoes (Solanum esculentum) reduced by 19 per cent when the plant was grown in saline soil and by 88 per cent when it was irrigated with highly saline water.
The Cholderton and District Water Company was established by Act of Parliament in 1904 and was incorporated as a private limited company 35 years later.
The Water Company today has two boreholes, three active covered reservoirs and a distribution network of approximately 50 kilometres of water supply pipe. The system is maintained by the company's own staff.
When Albion Water was licensed by the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) in 1999, it was as the first new entrant to compete against monopoly water companies in England.
For the past 12 years, we have established an exemplary quality and environmental record, building a hard-won reputation as a water company prepared to innovate and to promote a better, more responsive water industry.
We are the largest water-only supplier in the UK and we are committed to delivering a high quality water service to all our customers. We provide 900 million litres of water each day to a population of more than 3.5 million people in parts of Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey, the London Boroughs of Harrow and Hillingdon and parts of the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Ealing and Enfield. We also supply water to the Tendring peninsula in Essex and the Folkestone and Dover areas of Kent.
According to Aliev, the company is ready not only to construct a desalination facility, but also to operate it and to ensure its financing. "With this approach, our aim is to become leaders in the global nuclear market," he concluded.
Montgomery County is hoping local groups can help mitigate stormwater runoff in the region.
The county announced Wednesday it has partnered with the Chesapeake Bay Trust to fund restoration and outreach programs dedicated to reducing stormwater runoff in the area.
Da Nang, which has some of the most advanced infrastructure in the country, has been facing a serious water shortage since mid-August, a highly unusual situation for the city.
Powerfall, a spin-out from telecoms innovator Ziconix, says it can generate electrostatic energy at high efficiencies with water pressure heads of only 50 mbar – equivalent to a 50cm head of water – making it suited to low head hydro applications and energy harvesting.
The competition was a unique public/private collaboration of the Oregon Brew Crew, Clean Water Services and Carollo Engineers to get people talking about water.
This exoticism, though, is an irony. How can an island with such an abundance of water still narrate a story about mothers who have to bring their own supply of water from home as they prepare to give birth at a far away subdistrict health center?
The update has more than 40 feature enhancements intended to help utilities improve work planning processes, enterprise asset management (EAM), and assessment capabilities.

Advisor. Creative. Educator. Traveler.
About Me
I'm Rachel, and I'm passionate about teaching people new things.
Both art and technology can be intimidating and it's my mission to help break down those walls.
Why do I want to do this?
I was a techno-neophyte in my early 20s. I realized the professional world was going to leave me behind. After opening my mind to the possibilities of what technology could help me do and then learning everything I could, it changed my life.
And art? Well, its the most pure expression of the human experience. Experiencing art can foster human connection. Art is a vehicle for dialogue; it helps us get to know and learn about people from walks of life that might vary greatly from our own.
As a content strategist and instructional designer, I work to understand technology (services & products) and then teach others to do the same and then communicate that understanding. I focus on usability, scenarios, and real-life benefits.
As an art advisor, curator, and arts professional, I try to create a comfortable dialogue. I use juxtaposition, comparison, and contextualization to educate.

The release of today's Non-Farm Payroll (
) data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics dealt a devastating
blow to optimistic hopes for global growth. While
ADP's figure
yesterday revealed a sharp uptick in private sector employment,
today's NFP report, coupled with an increase to the national
unemployment rate to 9.2%, bodes ill for an economy struggling with
its own structural deficits.
The NFP employment data was only the latest in a string of
bearish reports. While it revealed the American economy had added
18,000 jobs this past month, it was significantly lower than
forecasts for an addition of 97,000 jobs. The news has driven many
traders into a risk averse mentality, driving safe haven
investments higher ahead of the weekend.
President Barack Obama also commented this week that lawmakers
in Congress still had not reached agreement for lifting the debt
ceiling before the August 4 deadline. Growing concern that the US
may default on its loans has done little to help the risk sensitive
trading environment present in the market this summer.

The American Windsurfing Tour is back, with 5 stops on the tour.
Introducing Trade Wind Event's break out 2011 American Windsurfing Tour.
The same people who presented the hugely successful 2010 Pistol River Wave Bash, will be a driving force behind the first annual American Windsurfing Tour.
• The premier event of the 2011 season is to be held at the famed beach at Waddell Creek, just south of San Francisco. It's been scheduled for the first weekend in May to take advantage of the prime spring sailing season in Central Cal.
• The infamous Pistol River Wave Bash becomes the second stop, held once again over the third weekend of June during that magical time in Southern Oregon when the spring swells are still hitting and the more consistent summer winds are kicking in.
• Next it's off to Punta San Carlos, on Mexico's Baja peninsula, for some world-class down the line wave sailing. To be held over the last weekend of July into the first week of August, in the hopes of coinciding with a tasty south swell from the other hemisphere.
• In association with Trade Winds Events, the crew that has been bringing you the Hatteras Wave Jam is getting ready to go prime time with their event sometime around the second half of September as the East Coast's fall sailing season ramps up in earnest.
• Appropriately enough, the last stop is going to be windsurfing's Mecca, Ho'okipa Beach Park on Maui. The last weekend of October is of course prime timing to catch both wind and swell in Hawaii, and will be by all estimations, an epic finish to the tour.

The artichokes can be steamed in advance and thrown on the grill just before serving, which makes them perfect for entertaining.
Leave a Review
Yummy yummy sauce -- nice grilling method for the artichokes, but the star is definitely the dipping sauce. Would go well with chicken.flag if inappropriate
Made the dip w/ yogurt instead of mayo. Dip was great with grilled chicken, too!flag if inappropriate
My new favorite method for cooking artichokes-- watch out for overcooking the 'chokes, however. Ours were medium-sized; we steamed for 20 minutes, and they were a little too soft after grilling (but still quite yummy). The sauce is a bit much-- I cut back on honey and sesame oil as others have suggested. Next time I'll probably add a bit more mayo. Would also complement grilled asparagus, shrimp, and/or chicken skewers. (Hmm... that's a rockin' first course for a future dinner party...)flag if inappropriate
The sauce recipe calls for WAY too much sesame oil. That was really the only flavor we could taste. Perhaps by cutting that down a bit it would have tasted better, but we were not impressed with the recipe as is.flag if inappropriate
I don't bother grilling the artichokes, it's too much trouble, this review is just for the sauce. As written, I wasn't terribly impressed... it was okay, but not great. With the following modifications however, I make this every time we have artichokes: instead of seasoned salt, I use plain salt and pepper to taste, I substitute 1/2 Tbs of the toasted sesame oil with chili sesame oil for a bit of a kick, and reduce the honey to 1/2 Tbs. In my opinion, those are the only alterations that it needs. Fabulous!flag if inappropriate
We all really like this recipe. YOu must make sure the artichokes are very close to being cooked when you put them on the BBQflag if inappropriate
I thought the sauce was awful.flag if inappropriate
Used the dip with a crudite because of the great reviews. What a waste. Disgusting. I didn't even know which way to go to fix the flavor. Also made soy dipping sauce from jade dumplings. It was very good and may toss with noodles and veggies tomorrow.flag if inappropriate
Making this for the second time in one month. This is a super delicious dip for artichokes, but also for beef. I made it as an appetizer and then served a tritip. This sauce was so good, we used it to drizzle over the beef too. Fantastic! Will make it again and again.flag if inappropriate
Quoted from my five year old: "UMMM! It tastes like... SAUCE! I love it. Can we make that again?" (he licked the bowl I whisked it in) I only used 1 tbs. of the honey, but thought it was fantastic. Probably would taste perfect just the way it was written...flag if inappropriate

I just moved back to Los Angeles for the first in 5 years and am looking forward to this new stage of my life. I completed law school in March up in Seattle and just took the California Bar in July. Although I enjoyed law school immensly, I am still uncertain about law as a career and am currently pursuing a career in entertainment - either as an agent or in production. People generally describe me as funny, kind, genuine, and introspective. As corny as it is, I'm going to have to quote it: "I dig music." I like to karaoke and play softball. I occasionally read poetry at coffee houses. And I have two siblings getting degrees in the sciences - go figure! I am looking for a kind, attractive, funny, and smart woman to explore the city with.

Treasury of Lives: Nyingma Founders Part 6, Zhechen Monastery
Biography and autobiography in Tibet are important sources for both education and inspiration. Tibetans have kept such meticulous records of their teachers that thousands of names are known and discussed in a wide range of biographical material. All these names, all these lives—it can be a little overwhelming. The authors involved in the Treasury of Lives are currently mining the primary sources to provide English-language biographies of every known religious teacher from Tibet and the Himalaya, all of which are organized for easy searching and browsing. Every Tuesday on the Tricycle blog, we will highlight and reflect on important, interesting, eccentric, surprising and beautiful stories found within this rich literary tradition. The following biography summarizes the biographies of the 1st and 2nd Zhechen Rabjam Rinpoches by Samten Chhosphel on the Treasury of Lives.
Part 1: Padmasambhava
Part 2: Dampa Deshek
Part 3: Nyangrel
Part 4: The Jangter
Part 5: Dzogchen
Nyingma Founders, Part 6: Zhechen Monastery
Monasteries in Tibet were—and continue to be—institutions that developed over time. Most, it is fair to say, began when a master sat down somewhere to practice with a handful of disciples. A small hut is built, which is expanded into a permanent temple, and at some point formal observance of the monastic code is initiated. Sometimes the whole thing is picked up and relocated. The precise date of founding, then, is never entirely clear, and many Tibetan monasteries carry two or more start dates. Such is the case with Zhechen Monastery, Tennyi Dargye Ling, one of the six "mother" monasteries of the Nyingma tradition. Ask three different people and you're likely to be given three different dates. For example, the 1st Zhechen Rabjam, Tenpai Gyeltsen (1650–1704), places the founding at 1690 or 1695, and the 2nd Zhechen Rabjam, Gyurme Kunzang Namgyel (1713–1769), places it far later, at 1735.
Tenpai Gyeltsen was born in central Tibet to a powerful family. At the age of 13, he ran away from home to study first at a Sakya monastery and then various Geluk institutions. He took novice ordination and earned a reputation for excellence in scholarship, acquiring the title of Rabjampa, indicative of immense learning. While in the service of a close aid of the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682), he attended teachings in Yerpa, north of Lhasa, by the 1st Dzogchen Drubwang, Pema Rigdzin (1625–1697), who became his lifelong guru. It wasn't long before he mastered Dzogchen theory and practice, and was henceforth known as Dzogchen Rabjam. Not long afterwards, the 5th Dalai Lama, a major patron of Pema Rigdzin, commanded Tenpai Gyeltsen to accompany his guru to Kham to assist him in the establishment of Dzogchen Monastery, the founding of which is usually dated 1684.
At some point during the establishment of Dzogchen Monastery, Tenpai Gyeltsen moved a few kilometers west and initiated a community that eventually became Zhechen Monastery. According to one history, the year was 1690, and the community was named Zhechen Orgyen Chodzong. It consisted of an assembly hall and monks' quarters, and its first abbot was named Pema Wangchuk, the "Laughing Lama." According to another history, the institution was founded in 1795, and it was simply a small study center.
The exact characteristics of Zhechen Orgyen Chodzong are not really known, but it is unlikely that Tenpai Gyeltsen remained there long enough to develop much of an institution. We read in his biography that the King of Derge offered him the Karma Kagyu monastery of Trasho Pomdrak, where he spent a few years, leaving after the monks made plain their displeasure at being administered by a Nyingma lama. He then decided he would spend the rest of his life in retreat. But upon learning in 1697 that Pema Rigdzin had passed away, he returned to Dzogchen to help with the funeral, where he would remain until his own death in 1704.
Around the year 1717 the younger brother of the 2nd Dzogchen Drubwang, Gyurme Tekchok Tendzin (1699–1758), was identified as Tenpai Gyeltsen's reincarnation. He was given the name Gyurme Kunzang Namgyel (1713–1769) and was brought to Zhechen Orgyen Chodzong. There was a community in need of a reincarnation of its founder.
Gyurme Tekchok Tendzin received teachings from a number of prominent masters, including his brother, the Dzogchen Drubwang; the 3rd throne-holder of Mindroling Monastery, Rinchen Namgyel (1694–1758); the 5th Dorje Drak Rigdzin, Kelzang Pema Wangchuk (1719/20–c.1770); and Drime Zhingkyong Gonpo (b.1724) of Katok Monastery. These represent four of the six Nyingma "mother" monasteries, which goes to show the close interconnection of these institutions.
Around 1734 or 1735, Gyurme Kunzang Namgyel, then just over 20 years old, either established a new institution on the far side of the valley or moved Orgyen Chodzong Drubde to a new spot and renamed it Tennyi Dargye Ling. This Zhechen Monastery then developed into a major site of Nyingma study and practice, said to have maintained a 160 branch monasteries across Tibet. A formal monastic college added in the early 20th century trained some of the greatest Nyingma lamas of recent times, including Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910–1991), who rebuilt Zhechen following its destruction by the Chinese, first in Nepal and then in its original (or second) location.
Alexander Gardner has a PhD from the University of Michigan in Buddhist Studies and serves as the Associate Director of the Rubin Foundation.

but they are loaded with vitamins and iron and can be snuck into meals easily
2. Green tea. In a nutshell, people who drink green tea have about a dozen health advantages over people who do not—from cancer prevention to longevity to gentler skin aging—thanks to its antioxidant polyphenols. Organic green tea is preferable (nothing undoes positive health effects like a load of pesticides) and can be found in bulk for cheap at large grocery stores. 3. Broccoli. This is the item on the list you'd be best off learning to love if you don't already, because its nutrition profile beats out all other veggies according to a Harvard University study. It has well- documented anti-inflammatory effects, which can help with everything from eye health and arthritis to heart disease and sun damage. Eat it a couple of nights a week if you can. A favorite simple recipe is broccoli steamed with olive oil, salt, and garlic. 4. Salmon. You obviously want to be careful about sourcing when it comes to any fish choice—check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium's new recommendations for salmon here—but the short version is, wild Alaskan is a good bet. Salmon is loaded with anti-inflammatory omega 3s, healthy fats, and vitamin B12. Bonus side effect: Glowing skin. 5. Extra virgin olive oil. It's gotta be EV: Eat it for heart-disease prevention, cancer prevention, its cholesterol-lowering good fats, its antioxidants, and because it's completely and utterly delicious and frankly, a good olive oil tastes better than butter. 6. Dark leafy greens.Yes, they can be bitter and less than exciting at first, but they are loaded with vitamins and iron and can be snuck into meals easily (omelets, pasta, salads, etc.). Prepared the same way as the broccoli suggestion takes five minutes and is super tasty with eggs for breakfast.

Topics from the Microsoft SQL Server Protocols team - Netlibs, TDS, SQL Browser, etc.
In continuing with the theme of understanding error messages I'll discuss the "login failed" messages that are surfaced by the client and written to the server's error log (if the auditlevel is set to log failures on login which is the default) in the event of an error during the login process.
If the server encounters an error that prevents a login from succeeding, the client will display the following error mesage.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Server <server name>, Line 1Login failed for user '<user name>'
Note that the message is kept fairly nondescript to prevent information disclosure to unauthenticated clients. In particular, the 'State' will always be shown to be '1' regardless of the nature of the problem. To determine the true reason for the failure, the administrator can look in the server's error log where a corresponding entry will be written. An example of an entry is:
2006-02-27 00:02:00.34 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.
2006-02-27 00:02:00.34 Logon Login failed for user '<user name>'. [CLIENT: <ip address>]
2 and 5
Invalid userid
Attempt to use a Windows login name with SQL Authentication
Login disabled and password mismatch
Password mismatch
Invalid password
11 and 12
Valid login but server access failure
SQL Server service paused
Change password required
Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
To check please open SQL Enterprise Manager and look under Properties-->Compatibility-->Privilege Level check the Run this program as an administrator
Suddenly started receiving a log full of login failed messages with Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
This happens for any login where the default db is not explicitly stated. Explicitly stating the default db in the connection works fine, but should not be required in a correctly working server (so long as the default db is correctly set).
The users are using domain login AND access is granted by an AD group. The group has the default database attribute set, the default database is online, and the users have access to no other databases by membership in any other group.
I've also tried to rule out schemas without owners and SQL Agent jobs referencing db's that don't exist. I remain baffled.
Any ideas what I'm missing or how to troubleshoot this?
Hi dear,
I am getting error 18456 after trying to log in,using windows authentication.What I have is sql server 2005, 90.It is installed on a window vista and I have been using it for ages.
Any ideal what I can do to get connected?
Thanks in advance!
As said before,the error I get is 18456.There was no state ,line or severity with the message.I hope this info will help.
installed a copy of SQL Server 2005 on my PC. Now when I start it I select my own PC as the server name and the Authentication is set to "Windows Authentication". My username is already written and greyed out and the password box is greyed out. However when I click connect it fails with error 18456. I get error state 11:Valid login but server access failure.
You just need to start the sql with admin previlage or run as administrator, hope should work.
There could be much more resions, as the original says.
1) Check the Server Property for the security configuration, If it is windows, bydefault SQL SA account should be disables.
2) Try to enable SA account
3) Match the password.
4)Make sure other login user the Secure (Connect to SQL Server)
5) and much more since the more error you get you have more solution to resolve that... See the BOL and other SQL forums..
I'm getting Error:18456, Severity:14, State:1.
Could any one help me on this issue.
Thank you in advance,
Hi.. i am using SQL Server 2008. server authentication is set to "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode". when connecting using windows accounts everything is fine, but any attempt to connect as e.g. 'sa' fails with this 'State: 1' error message... greets, rm
my error state is 1
what can ido?
Error Number: 18456
Severity: 14
State: 1
Line Number: 65536
Who ever is facing any problem in sql while login in sql authentication mode, just try this trick,
Step 1: Login in to windows authentication
Step 2: Run following script:
-- ***********************************
-- SQL Query to Alter the [sa] login and reEnable it
USE [tempdb]
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD=N'123', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
ALTER LOGIN [sa] ENABLE
now close your SSMS and restart it and try to login again by userID 'sa' and pwd '123'...
Logon,Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 58.
Login failed for user ''. Reason: An attempt to login using SQL authentication failed. Server is configured for Windows authentication only. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
State 58 means An attempt to login using SQL authentication , where Server is configured for Windows authentication only.
Same problem here. Installed sqlserver locally to do some development testing. Wondering best way to setup permissions to get on the db.
What if I have a state 11 error on a LAN?

Will this actually be a game shown or just another great looking trailer with a fake hud on the bottom of the screen? Also I read somewhere that this was going to be a ps4 exclusive... Any confirmation for that? Curious to here everyone's thoughts.

@thestandardtoaster: It will be playable and we'll get more details. It says so on the TGS site.

Specifically the 3 player co-op fight versus that Dragon, at least if the translator of this morning's stream is to be believed. Rewatch the on-stage gameplay presentation. At the very end, the translator says something to that effect.

Because Jimi Hendrix knew true love is eternal. And because Emmylou Harris's voice confirms it. "Waterfall/For a million days/Fall with me for a million days."
Because there's more than one path to eternal love: "Let the chips fall where they will, let the wicked burn in Hell/And we'll burn together if they do/Yes, we'll burn together, me and you."
