About the Winery
On a north facing hillside overlooking the Ramona Valley AVA sits Woof'n Rose Winery and its vineyards. Stephen and Marilyn Kahle own and operate the vineyard and winery with help from three sons and their respective families. The Kahles love of dogs, and rose bushes surrounding the winery, give a clue as to how aptly the winery is named.
Woof'n Rose makes all of its wines from Ramona Valley grapes, most estate grown on premises. Annual production is 300 to 350 cases per year. The specialty is Cabernet Franc, but the small vineyards also include all of the other classic Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, as well as Grenache Noir and Alicante Bouschet; the wines reflect these varietals and blends comprised of them. When you visit Woof'n Rose Winery for tasting you will sit on an outdoor veranda, overlooking the vineyards and the Ramona Valley, and will chat directly with the owners who double as grower, winemaker, and marketer.
Woof'n Rose's invitation to you is to enjoy the view, conversation, and
Please sip our wine in your quality time,
Time to smell the roses,
Time to kiss puppy noses!

Vettel, who won his first ever Grand Prix here in 2008, made it 10 poles for the season as he continues to close in on Nigel Mansell's F1 record.
On a circuit supposed to be Red Bull's worst over the closing seven races of a one-sided campaign, the reigning champion smashed his rivals to grab top spot on the grid for tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix.
Vettel blitzed the Monza track with a time of one minute 22.275secs to finish a full half second clear of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton who lines up second for the fourth consecutive race.
Vettel made it 10 poles for the season as he continues to close in on Nigel Mansell's Formula One record.
Vettel is now just four short of Mansell's mark of 14 set in 1992, cementing Red Bull's unblemished record of claiming pole in every race this season.

36333 Her Majesty the Queen v. Chad Walsh
Criminal law – Appeals – Deference
On appeal from the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador – Court of Appeal. The applicant was convicted of sexual assault. The Court of Appeal held that the trial judge erred by refusing to consider the application of the defence of mistake of fact in the circumstances of this case. The appeal was allowed. The conviction was set aside and a new trial was ordered.
36314 Christopher Michael Staetter v. Her Majesty the Queen
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – Freedom of conscience and religion
On appeal from the Court of Appeal for British Columbia. Mr. Staetter was charged with two counts of uttering threats and two counts of criminal harassment. The Crown's evidence included numerous threatening text messages from Mr. Staetter to the complainant and numerous phone messages left for the complainant and her father. A psychiatrist testified that Mr. Staetter likely suffered a schizoaffective disorder. The Applicant was declared not criminally responsible and committed to a psychiatric hospital. The Applicant's application for leave to appeal the custodial order was dismissed.
36295 François Deraspe v. Canadian Electrolytic Zinc Ltd., et al.
Civil procedure — Class actions — Case management
On appeal from the Quebec Court of Appeal. The applicant Mr. Deraspe instituted a class action against the respondent Canadian Electrolytic Zinc Ltd. (CEZL), which operated a zinc refinery in Quebec. He blamed it for the release of sulphur trioxide into the air in April 2004. Fearing that CEZL alone could not guarantee execution of any judgment obtained, Mr. Deraspe tried to join the parent companies (Xstrata and Glencore) to his action, alleging that they and their predecessors had operated the refinery through CEZL and used its juridical personality to dissemble fraud or contravention of a rule of public order. The trial judge found that CEZL had had sole [translation] "custody" of the refinery in August 2004 and had been its sole operator. Moreover, Xstrata and Glencore could not be held liable for CEZL's obligations solely because CEZL was one of their subsidiaries. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and condemned the [translation] "improper and outrageous" language used in the pleadings filed by counsel for Mr. Deraspe.
36272 Health Professions Review Board v. Alan Moore and College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia
Administrative law — Boards and tribunals — Health Professions Review Board
On appeal from the Court of Appeal for British Columbia. A complaint was made by a patient to the respondent, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia against the respondent physician, Alan Moore. The College advised the patient that after reviewing the complaint the College had no specific criticism of Dr. Moore. The patient requested a review of the College's decision by the Health Professions Review Board. The Review Board concluded the College's decision was inadequate and the decision was sent back to the College for reconsideration. On judicial review, the Supreme Court of British Columbia set aside the Review Board's decision and reinstated the decision of the Registrar. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.

When Promotions Induce Good Managers to Be Lazy
This paper shows that when being perceived as a good manager is a necessary condition to be promoted, a priori talented managers may undertake excessively risky projects. Indeed, such a choice renders more difficult the updating of beliefs process regarding their actual types. In turn, good managers are induced to lower the level of effort they perform since the extent to which effort impacts the perception the market has about their talent is lessened. This adversely impacts the firms' profits. Hence, career concerns do not discipline good managers in our context. However, we show how employers can limit managerial slack by increasing monitoring

The national average price of a gallon of unleaded has increased 1.1 cents to $2.235 for the week ending Nov. 9, according to federal records.

The sharpest increase in the regions came in the Gulf Coast where the average price moved 5.6 cents higher to $1.972. The Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions saw a decrease of 5.3 cents to $2.215 and 5.9 cents to $2.181 respectively.
Among states, the average gasoline price remains above $2.50 per gallon in four states, including Hawaii ($2.872), California ($2.837), Nevada ($2.708), and Washington ($2.51). It remains below $2 per gallon in six states with the lowest average in South Carolina at $1.947 per gallon.

The Orson Welles of politics
By JOHN E. SUNUNU
New York Times News Service
Chris Christie might be the closest thing American politics has to Orson Welles. No, that's not a reference to size — something that is talked about far too much in Christie's case. Rather, the Republican governor's meteoric rise to date looks a lot like the Hollywood legend's.
Christie's runaway victory last week in a heavily Democratic state only extends his upward trajectory. As a brash thirty-something he took down party cronies in a primary fight; as a 40-year-old U.S. attorney he prosecuted dozens of public officials for corruption. Now, basking in the glow of his landslide reelection, the question lingers, "What's next?"
Welles faced the same question after making "Citizen Kane" before turning 30, and his answer never fully satisfied his admirers or critics. He'd set the bar pretty high. And although he wrote, directed, and starred in a series of noteworthy films, he never won another Oscar. Regrettably, the last 25 years of his career are mostly remembered for talk-show appearances, small cameo roles, and commercials — like the one where he famously declared that Ernest and Julio Gallo would "sell no wine before its time."
As for Christie, there's no sign that he's peaked. For most politicians, eight years in a statehouse corner office would be the capstone to a successful career. But Christie's powerful presence, unconventional style, and electoral success are a magnet for intensified scrutiny and rising expectations.
Much to his credit, Christie — like Welles — has never worried much about how he's viewed by others. Blunt run-ins with protesters, unions, and most recently an activist teacher have only reinforced that view. The downside of that attitude is a diva's reputation. Welles excoriated Hollywood's studio system, frequently ran over budget, and preferred Europe to America. Christie's biggest national role to date was at last year's Republican National Convention. His keynote speech ran long on time and short on praise for the nominee. Even fans viewed it as a bit self-indulgent. Then again, a similar act got Bill Clinton started in national politics back in 1988.
A newly released book on the 2012 campaign — during which Christie was a short-list vice presidential contender — will only enhance this perception. Vetting documents faulted him for his tardiness, overbearing staff, and penchant for "expensive hotels." In an interview with journalist Jake Tapper, Christie casually shrugged off the substance of the leaked file, but emphasized his personal disappointment at the breach of trust — a display of ease and candor that voters find appealing.
Indeed, Christie viscerally understands something about voters that eludes many elected officials and almost everybody who writes about politics: There is no checklist. Voters don't walk into the voting booth comparing candidates down a list of issues side-by-side; they never have. They care about trust, truth, and leadership, the very qualities that Christie has successfully demonstrated and promoted from his earliest days in politics.
Partisan critics dismiss all of this as a triumph of style over policy. It's a classic sour-grapes reaction, and it misses the real lesson here: Leadership skills matter. Voters look for candor, presence of mind, and decisiveness precisely because we can't predict which issues will challenge us in the future. We want to know these vital qualities can be called upon when those moments of genuine uncertainty reveal themselves.
For their part, media pundits will continue to focus most on criticism of Christie from within the Republican Party. But history suggests Christie can take the heat. Republicans have always insisted on a trial-by-fire path to the presidential nomination. Some of the most visceral criticism of Ronald Reagan came from party stalwarts as he battled through the early primaries in 1980.
And as Reagan knew like no one else, timing can be everything in both Hollywood and politics. Christie's first gubernatorial victory, just a year after the rout of 2008, looked to Republicans like an oasis in the desert and foreshadowed the party's dramatic turnaround in 2010. His triumph last week gave everyone something to talk about.
More significantly, it gives him three full years to govern in the run-up to the presidential elections in 2016.
Life is about much more than winning elections or Academy Awards, but no one wants to be remembered for failing to reach their potential. Christie has already reshaped New Jersey's political landscape and restored its reputation. Surely there's more to his next act than David Letterman and Doritos ads.

Deregulation -- Not Reregulation -- Of Electric Power
October 15, 1999
Currently, state legislatures and the U.S. Congress are debating deregulation of the largest, most highly regulated monopolistic industry: electric power. Commercial and residential customers spend more than $200 billion a year for electricity. Of that amount $20 billion to $50 billion is unnecessary spending caused by regulatory inefficiencies.
The Energy Information Administration has estimated that just allowing competition in retail sales to consumers -- without eliminating the costly inefficiencies of federal regulations -- could lower electricity prices on average by as much as 6 percent to 13 percent within two years.
Although most states are moving toward retail competition, experts say it will not be effective if consumers are required to pay arbitrary fees to reimburse utilities for their so-called stranded costs. (Stranded costs are utility investments that, while apparently justified under regulation, are uneconomical under competition.) Nor is there much consumer choice if there are price controls on power transmission or if local distributors are able to exercise monopoly power.
In California, the first state to allow all residential customers to buy competitive retail electric power, many consumers saw their electricity bills increase after reform, due to fees for utilities' stranded costs, subsidies for green power and more regulators to manage competition.
A solution to these difficulties is divestiture. Today's electric utilities should divest themselves of power generation facilities, creating two discrete kinds of businesses: "supply" companies involved in power generation and "wires" companies involved in transmission and distribution.
States could require utilities to separate into wires and supply companies in order to get compensation for stranded assets. And since divestiture would allow the market to determine the value of utilities' generating and transmission assets separately, most -- or even all -- of the stranded costs utilities claim would disappear. Nor is expansion of state or federal regulatory powers necessary to manage competition -- it will occur naturally -- and consumers can realize the full benefits of market competition: better service at lower cost.

Preschool Studies
Our basic curriculum is a well-designed mixture of learning through discovery and play with a structured plan of success for each child. Worshiping: The study of God's Word is basic to all areas of instruction. Children will regularly learn the truths from God's Word, the Bible, and memorize Scripture. Every child will continually be assured that they are a beloved child of God, saved through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Growing: Physical development will be fostered through games and exercises using large and small muscle activities. Learning: Our curriculum is designed to stimulate the natural curiosity within every young child. Using hands-on activities along with pre-writing skills each child will be encouraged to explore and better understand his/her world. Sharing: Each child's self-esteem will be nurtured so that he/she can confidently explore and use the talents, abilities and skills given by God and to expand them. Children will be given various opportunities to communicate: verbally, through written and artistic medium and through musical expression. Playing: The social development of the young child is very important. Our preschool will offer many opportunities for each child to work and play cooperatively with others.

Committee's answers critical to future
Forming a 20-person committee to review the UNCW athletic department was a natural action, chancellor Gary Miller said Monday during an interview in his office. Similar studies already have occurred in his tenure, and the timing was right.
The committee is chaired by Terry Curran, the university's head of undergraduate admissions, and includes leaders from across the campus. They'll study a number of issues, including whether 19 teams is the optimal number for a department with the lowest annual budget in the Colonial Athletic Association.
"I think it's very much like other athletic departments I've seen," Miller said. "With the difference being it's coming out of a period of time when not a lot of attention was paid to it. I think we have the right leadership there right now. I look at every operation on this campus, with this question in mind: How do we do it better? And does that require us to do it differently? Differently may mean smaller or bigger, I don't know. That's one of the things this committee will help us figure out.
Miller doesn't plan to make suggestions to the committee, instead allowing it to examine the department's entire portfolio and report to him in mid-May. The model that emerges will raise expectations at UNCW, and Miller expects to meet them.
"The whole athletic department has to be performing at a level of excellence that we expect of everybody else," Miller said. "That's the foundation of our fundraising. There are a lot of people who follow tennis or baseball. Certainly basketball is a signature sport for us and baseball is. You want them to be successful. Of course we'd like to see a little more success from our basketball …"
Miller's voice trailed off, much like the Seahawks' season has.
UNCW clinched its sixth losing season in seven years on Wednesday night with a defenseless performance against Miller's alma mater, William & Mary. Only a handful of Seahawks supporters made the 4�-hour trip to Williamsburg, but what they watched was similar to most UNCW road efforts in the CAA since the program began spiraling downward. The Seahawks are entrenched in the bottom tier of a conference Miller says is an appropriate home.
As the committee investigates the athletic department, it will find that over the last three years it reported to the NCAA expenses that exceeded revenues by $1.4 million. Most athletic departments are designed to break even. But the recent record at UNCW drained the balance in the department's reserve fund to less than $300,000 as of June 1, 2012. As athletic director Jimmy Bass mentioned earlier this week, the basketball team's struggles have hindered fundraising and Seahawk Club membership.
The UNCW athletic department will always rely on student fees and direct financial support from the university for its $11.2 million budget to make sense. Mid-majors operate under those terms. That's one reason Miller requested an increase in the athletics fee from the Board of Trustees in December.
Still, breaking even is a reasonable goal. In 2006 and 2007 the athletic department turned a profit, helping to build the reserve fund to seven figures. In 2008 it reported a slight loss and 2009 it broke even.
Those salad days came on the heels of unprecedented success by the men's basketball team. Now that program looks like a messy child's room after a bout with an industrial fan. Sometimes the clothes are on the floor in the corner, sometimes they're under the bed. But they're never clean and folded in the drawer.
The academic failures have been addressed and overcome; the product coach Buzz Peterson keeps putting on the floor is getting worse, according to all the rankings. He also has three years remaining on a contract worth $430,000 annually, which creates another set of decisions.
The success of the department rides on the strength of the men's basketball team. The committee has to decide whether eliminating other athletic programs makes life more manageable since there's not a basketball resurgence in plain view.
It's a stiff challenge and one of many decisions ahead that will prove whether UNCW truly is serious about elevating the reputation of its entire athletic profile.
Where UNCW might struggle tonight
Defending the perimeter. William & Mary's guards shredded the UNCW defense on Saturday night, knifing to the basket, burying open 3-pointers and setting screens the Seahawks just leaned against instead of fighting through. Now they must try and contain the best backcourt tandem in the CAA. Jon Lee was a preseason all-conference candidate, and his running mate is having a better season. Both can shoot, drive and create, play with a veteran's poise and toughness by making winning plays in the last five minutes.
Good news for the Seahawks
UNCW is coming off its most efficient offensive night of the season and, if it can avoid turnovers, should be able to score against Northeastern, as it did in the first matchup, a 68-64 loss. On that occasion, UNCW committed a turnover on 17 of 59 possessions, but scored at a high rate on the other 42. UNCW forwards Cedrick Williams and Keith Rendleman combined for 25 points on 10-for-14 shooting in that game. They need more touches tonight.
Key matchup
Quincy Ford vs. whoever draws that assignment for UNCW – Hampered somewhat by nagging injuries, the 6-foot-8 small forward has fallen short of the lofty expectations that surrounded him this season. Yet, he's still a versatile, talented prospect, who can affect the game on both ends of the floor with his shooting, length and athleticism. Hawks better keep an eye on him.

50 Years of evidence: training doesn't work!
1988- Baldwin & Ford "a growing recognition of a 'transfer problem' ….. American industries annually spend up to $100 billion on training and development, not more than 10% result in transfer to the job."
2001- Brinkerhoff and Apking "Almost all organizational training is a marginal intervention and has only slight effects on performance improvement."
Is it time we build training that is designed for transfer?
In the Cafe, the learning is organized to capitalize on recent brain research which suggest that learning is a physical process of changing the wiring in our brains. This takes time and does not happen in the classroom setting itself. This is why so often people are not any different after they've attended training, especially training that focuses on interpersonal skills, where there is already wiring (ingrained habits) in the brain.
The classroom is one component of the Cafe. It is critical because this is where we practice skills to feel we can safely and confidently take them back to our team. But the real work of a Cafe happens AFTER the classroom and some work actually happens before the Cafe too. Weeks of drills and practices are structured to help learners integrate what they have learned. Support is provided by a sponsor who coaches and offers feedback and encouragement. There is a virtual community where learners report in on the drills and support and encourage each other.
Finally, there is a feedback loop built in this process so learning can be transferred. Imagine you are working with a tennis or golf coach. Each week you get a lesson but you continue to do it the old way. All the lessons in the world will not change your approach…you need feedback on how you are applying the new skills. In the workplace, this feedback is best when it comes from people who see you use these skills. Your direct reports, your managers, members of a project team, etc. They are in a position to observe you in action and help you make adjustments on what they see.
These feedback loops can be compared to your baseline behavior (measured before the developmental process begins) to measure progress and see where work still needs to happen.

Tonight's Good Reads and a Video
Just a little link dump on what I feel I should recommend among my readings and watchings today.
97 Reasons Democrats Are Weak On Defense And Can't Be Trusted To Govern In Wartime
Today's Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy, who with courage and decisive action kept on top of their jobs and aggressively confronted one national defense crisis after another.
Jimmy Carter, elected during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and (1) believing Americans had an inordinate fear of communism, (2) lifted U.S. citizens' travel bans to Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia and (3) pardoned draft evaders.
Only 94 more to go as the column begins chronicling the ways in which the modern Democrats suffer in comparison to their historical predecessors, fine figures that I may have had domestic disagreements with but showed major spine on the international stage on our country's behalf. Hat tip to Hyscience.
Big differences seen in party views on patriotism
There is no doubt about Americans' patriotism. We consistently score higher than other countries on polls gauging how patriotic citizens are. We see this every Fourth of July as Americans proudly display the flag and sing the national anthem and watch fireworks.
However, there are some who are weary of our patriotism and they are not shy about telling us so. Howard Zinn, the leftist historian, advised us on the Fourth to "put away our flags" and to renounce "nationalism." Mark Kurlansky, a popular historian, wrote how he was sick and tired of the Founding Fathers. Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks opined that she just didn't "understand the necessity for patriotism."
I myself have no discomfort in questioning the patriotism — or wisdom and common sense, for that matter — of many of my fellow Americans on the far left. Hat tip to Wizbang!'s Lorie Byrd, who receives a prominent plug in the piece.
The New Detainee Law Does Not Deny Habeas Corpus
There are innumerable positives in the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the new law on the treatment of enemy combatants that President Bush will soon sign. Among the best is Congress's refusal to grant habeas-corpus rights to alien terrorists. After all, the terrorists already have them.
That the critique on this entirely appropriate measure has been dead wrong is given away by its full-throated hysteria. Typical was Richard Epstein, a distinguished constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago, who admonished the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Bush administration and a compliant Republican Congress were unconstitutionally "suspend[ing]†the great writ. The New York Times editorial board, in its signature hyperbole, railed that "[d]etainees in U.S. military prisons would lose the basic right to challenge their imprisonment.†What bunkum.
First, Congress cannot "suspend†habeas corpus by denying it to people who have no right to it in the first place.
Quite right. It should also be noted that the overwhelming bulk of the detainees in question should not legally fall under the domain of any protections based upon the Geneva accords to which the United States is actually a signatory. In other words, both under domestic and international law, screw 'em. Hat tip to Raven at And Rightly So.
The first Western Enlightenment of the Greek fifth-century B.C. sought to explain natural phenomena through reason rather than superstition alone. Ethics were to be discussed in the realm of logic as well as religion. Much of what Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and the Sophists thought may today seem self-evident, if not at times nonsensical. But that century was the beginning of the uniquely Western attempt to bring to the human experience empiricism, self-criticism, irony, and tolerance in thinking.
The second European Enlightenment of the late 18th century followed from the earlier spirit of the Renaissance. For all the excesses and arrogance in its thinking that pure reason might itself dethrone religion — as if science could explain all the mysteries of the human condition — the Enlightenment nevertheless established the Western blueprint for a humane and ordered society.
But now all that hard-won effort of some 2,500 years is at risk. The new enemies of Reason are not the enraged democrats who executed Socrates, the Christian zealots who persecuted philosophers of heliocentricity, or the Nazis who burned books. No, they are a pampered and scared Western public that caves to barbarism — dwarves who sit on the shoulders of dead giants, and believe that their present exalted position is somehow related to their own cowardly sense of accommodation.
What would a Socrates, Galileo, Descartes, or Locke believe of the present decay in Europe — that all their bold and courageous thinking, won at such a great cost, would have devolved into such cheap surrender to fanaticism?
Victor Davis Hanson is greatness once again, this time turning his guns on the Euro left and their current betrayal of the virtues of historical liberalism. Hat tip to Rightwingsparkle.
Video: "No Excuses For Terrorâ€
Dovetailing nicely with the above VDH piece is a video in four parts from Britain's Channel Five. So far I've only watched the first part but will catch the rest shortly. Already the piece does an excellent job of pointing out pointing out a wealth of historical hypocrisy coming from the Euro and global left, and I feel I can already label it as a must-see. Maybe it's not a case of "know thy enemy," but it certainly appears to be a case of "know those among you who play quite useful idiots for thy enemy."

// Uncolored, plain source file: deriv2.java // An example file explaining how to use // com.stevesoft.pat, com.stevesoft.pat.wrap, // and com.stevesoft.pat.apps
import com.stevesoft.pat.*; /* Inventing patterns for package pat was possible, but not a simple operation in the past. Now it is easy. To define a pattern you now need three things: 1) A name: The syntax for your pattern will be "(??name)". By beginning the pattern with the String "(?" we follow the convention established by Perl for creating new pattern strings that don't conflict with previously existing ones.
2) A normal Regex pattern: Probably whatever pattern you want to define must satisfy a certain standard Regex. In our example, we want to match valid mathematical statement of the form digit+digit=digit. This rule must satisfy the Regex "\\d\\+\\d=\\d" as one criterion for a successful match. 3) A Validator: You should derive a class from Validator that defines the method validate(String src,int start,int end). This method does whatever other checking you require for your pattern to match that a normal Regex can't do -- in our example we check to see if the first two digits do, in fact, add up to the third. The first argument is the String we are searching, the second is the start position of the matching portion of the string, the third is the end position. If your validator method wants the String to match, it should return the new end position within the String. Often, this will just mean returning the value passed in the third argument of validate, as below.
If you return a -1 from this method, the validation fails and Regex will keep looking (if possible) for something that matches your pattern. These three things, the name, pattern, and validator should be given to the static method Regex.define(String name, String pattern, Validator v). Once this is done, further compilations by Regex will know about your new pattern. */
// This is the new rule we wish to define... class CheckMath extends Validator { public int validate(StringLike src,int start,int end) { // get the values of the three digits -- we know // that we will have digits here because of the // pattern we specified. int d1 = src.charAt(start)-'0'; int d2 = src.charAt(start+2)-'0'; int d3 = src.charAt(start+4)-'0'; return d1+d2 == d3 ? end : -1; } } public class deriv2 { public static void main(String[] args) { Regex.define( "math1", // name of our new pattern "\\d\\+\\d=\\d", // a standard Regex that our pattern must satisfy new CheckMath()); // Validator for our pattern // The second argument to Regex is the replacement rule, // and, as is conventional, $& expands to the matched portion // of the pattern. Regex r = new Regex("(??math1)","correct($&)"); // Substitute for valid matches in a test String. String p = r.replaceAll("math 1+1=2, 2+3=4, 6+2=8, 1+3=9, 2+3=5."); System.out.println(p); } }

Unanswered: Is it possible to re-enable the sa account?
I were requested by the security department in our company to enable "password expiry" and "max failed logins" for our sybase server. My question is, what happens if the sa account get disabled due to these settings, is there any way to re-activate it presuming no other users are having sa_role kind of privileges?

It is a good idea to have at least 1 login either sa or preferably sso_role without any login triggers on it. At the end of the day, if ever you get locked out you could at least get back into the server using the -p switch in the RUN file. -p only works for active sso login and not for the locked/expired ones.

-p in RUN_file is for resetting password. Use -u instead to reset password.

Why won't the speaker turn on?
When I try to play music on the speaker, the speaker won't turn on. It seems to be unresponsive to the power button being pressed. How can this be fixed?
Is this a good question?
When I try to play music on the speaker, the speaker won't turn on. It seems to be unresponsive to the power button being pressed. How can this be fixed?
Is this a good question?
When the speaker does not turn on, it could be because of a few reasons. The first reason is that the battery is not charged. Charge the battery for a few hours and then try to turn it back on. The second reason is that the Oontz Angle 3 may have been water damaged. The Oontz Angle 3 is not waterproof, so place it a designated area and give it time to dry out. So if neither of these solutions work please refer to the troubleshooting page to identify the real cause of the issue.

I have he same problem used it once tried to turn it off so I could leave the house and it would not turn off....Came home tried to use it again will not turn on been charging all night and it acts like it will not charge the charging light stays red tried to turn it on while plugged in to charge and still nothing it has never been near water so any kind of help would be great
Was this answer helpful?
it happened the same to me, in my case the problem was the power switch, i had to gently press it downwards while i was moving it to "ON", that worked for, such a pitty that i had to figure it out because i paid for it... but at least it works.
The thing is that if i press it a little bit upwards it will turn OFF, so it is a "contact" problem, you need to press it downwards while you turn it on so it stays well placed in order to make the right contact and turn this on.
Hope that helped.

Blog Tour and Review: Glamorous Illusions
8:40 AM | Posted by Chelsey
Publication Date: June 1, 2012
Publisher: David C. Cook
Series: Grand Tour Series #1
It was the summer of 1913, and Cora Kensington's life on the family farm has taken a dark turn. Not only are the crops failing, so is her father's health. Cora is carrying on, helping her mother run their Montana farm until a stranger comes to call, and everything changes. Cora then learns a secret that will radically change her future: she is the illegitimate daughter of a copper king who has come to claim her.
Cora is invited to take the "Grand Tour" of Europe, a journey intended to finish a person's education, to solidify an understanding of ancient culture and contemporary refinement. As she travels from England to France with half-siblings she's never known, Cora encounters the blessings of the Kensington family name, as well as the curses. But when an unbidden love begins to form, she realizes the journey is only beginning.
Faced with the challenge of accepting her father, new family, and the identity that comes with it, Cora also struggles to accept that she is also the daughter of the one true King-a Father who is the only One who can truly heal.
As soon as I saw the Eiffel Tower pictured in the background I was so willing to read this book! I am all about some Paris. The cover is just beautiful and when you see the dress that Cora is wearing on the front cover it will just mesmerize you. The tan and pink colors add a vintage feel and it appears as if the sun is about to set. I honestly do not think I have view a more beautiful cover all year.
Cora Kensington is a small town girl from Montana whose life changes in one swift moment and she is whisked away on a Grand Tour of Europe. This is truly a rags to riches story and Cora has a hard time believing it herself. At times she dreams of having nice things and pretty gowns, but she never actually thinks that all of that could ever possibly be hers. She is introduced to family that she has never known and journeys into a world that is far different from her own. She leaves her mother and father behind and becomes a beautiful and admirable young woman.
The whole premise of being whisked away to Europe in order to finish one's education is quite intriguing. I found myself being rather envious of Cora at times. The talk of ballrooms, elegant gowns, and royal princes has Cora's mind spinning and at the same time she cannot wait to grab her own little taste of adventure. This book only added to my appreciation to the European continent; so refined and picturesque. I was delighted to take this trip with Cora because at first she did not think that she deserved something as wonderful as a Grand Tour education and as her character developed she came to find that she was just as worth as anyone else.
I absolutely loved Cora as a character because once she reached past her hesitations she was quite adventurous. She thrived on it actually. Here is one of my favorite quotes by her, "In the last year, I'd decided I loved learning. It fed me. Expanded me. Shaped me" (14). Cora wanted to become a teacher and she had a deep passion that continued to instill a strong drive within her. She knew that there was more outside of her little sleepy hometown just waiting for her to seek it out. I could really connect with Cora and appreciate everything that she stood for.
Cora was up against many obstacles in this book, and one of those being her newly discovered siblings. They were not all as welcoming as she would have hoped they would be. Some, such as Vivian, saw Cora as unrefined and often feared that Cora would ruin their good name. Her siblings never had a worry in the world while she was raised in poverty and prayed every day for enough food and money for her parents to get by. She almost envied them at times and definitely had a very hard time connecting with them. She tried her best to reason with them and even to make them like her. Her oldest sibling Vivian spouted out, "She is not family to me. She is a stray dog my father brought home" (187). Cora had many barriers to break through and at times it was so heart wrenching to see the way she was treated.
My favorite part of this book was Cora's relationship with their tour guide, Will McCabe. His job was to make sure that the Kensington children make the most of their trip to Europe and that they retain the historical importance of such a journey. His feelings, however, began to lie with Cora. Will was never pushy with Cora, but he made it clear from the start that he would do whatever he had to in order to protect her. He was charming and very sensitive. I admired Will so much because he never gave up on his feelings for Cora even when he was told that it would not be appropriate in the least to romanticize with her.
Did I mention that this is a series? Well, it is and I am so excited for the next book! Lisa Bergren wrote an amazing novel that can make anyone appreciate the grand beauty and elegance of Europe. I cannot compliment this book enough and I did not want to put it down. I am so very proud to add it to my forever growing collection. If you love historical romance and have any desire to see or have seen the marvelous European continent, then you should pick up a copy of this book as soon as possible!
**A copy of this book was provided to me by the Publisher for an honest review**
Lisa's time is split between managing home base, writing (including a fair amount of travel writing), consulting and freelance editing (with a little speaking here and there). She's married to Tim, a liturgical sculptor, graphic designer and musician. They have three kids-Olivia (15), Emma (12) and Jack (7).
All five of the Bergrens make their home in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Looking For Help! Garnet Colored Chocolate
Baking By LaineysFlourPower Updated 29 Jan 2016 , 4:03pm by LaineysFlourPower
Hi all! I need to make FSU cake pops. Anyone have a clue how to get the chocolate garnet? Red, brown and purple maybe? Looking to the experts...thanks in advance!!
Have you tried adding those colors of candy melts to your chocolate? There are also candy colors which are oil based.
If you are dipping them in chocolate, using chocolate, not white chocolate, then using pearl dust & brush to apply the color you are wanting to add is a very effective way to get the color you are seeking. The chocolate color underneath the dust (crimson, garnet or red) adds to the color, surprisingly. Test dusting before you commit, but it could also be a very effective way to get 'er done. :)
@Pastrybaglady - No, I can try that...but I thought it might be better to color white chocolate. I bought the oils and will play with it all this weekend.
@gigiel - I will check to see what I can find for colored pearl dusts.
Thanks for the responses!!

Ratings for Dr. Harold A. Barnard
Dr. Barnard was my family physician for about 6 years. I always felt that he took a personal interest in and commitment to my health. He went far above and beyond to seek out answers to questions and provide care for my family. I was always confident in his opinions and recommendations. My young daughter trusted him and actually looked forward to her visits. On the other hand, I did have a few issues with his office staff, who didn't have the same time and consideration for his patients that the doctor always showed.
I always found Dr. Barnard very helpful and willing to listen to what I had to say. He gave me the impression that he wasn't rushed and really did what to hear what I had to say. The only time I had to wait was when I came in through urgent care without an appointment. Other than that, he was very punctual. My first time seeing Dr. Barnard, he wanted to do a series of tests on me to try to eliminate common causes of my fatigue. I fainted when they took the blood (not their fault at all!) and they gave me an IV and let me rest while they took very good care of me. I can't even imagine what would have happened in some other doctors' offices if I'd have fainted like that. I can assure you I wouldn't have been taken care of like I was. My only complaint is that he moved.
Extremely self centered and opinionated. Talks more than listens.
He was very knowledgeable and the staff was very helpful. The only gripe I had was the nurse couldn't interpret his handwriting for my prescription. Talk about stereotypical. Haha.
The Nurse Station is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. To have a perscription called in takes 48 hours, which is not acceptable. To be put through to a machine is impersonal and does not help a patient for any urgent need. They do not return any phone calls in a timely manner, just as they dont fill perscripstions promptly either. It is unfortunate that it reflects on the physician.

The world's richest literary prize has been won by Moroccan-born novelist Tahar Ben Jelloun with his timely tale of an underground desert concentration camp.
Already a bestseller in France, This Blinding Absence of Light was praised by the judges of the €100,000 Impac Dublin award for its "beauty and clarity of language, its formal restraint which gives it subtle power, its commitment to its terrible subject, its passionate evocation of the human soul and the will to survive."
It is based on the true story of the concentration camps in which King Hassan II of Morocco imprisoned his political enemies under appalling conditions. When the chambers were opened in 1991 only a handful of survivors emerged from the six-by-three-foot cells in which they had been held for decades.
Jelloun talked with the "living cadavers" of the camps and turned their narrative into a novel, described by the judges as "a moving description of both unlimited evil and the power of the human spirit to survive".
Born in 1944 in Fez, Morocco, Jelloun moved to France 1961. He is the author of The Sacred Night, which won the Prix Goncourt in 1987, and Corruption. He is also the winner of the 1994 Prix Maghreb.
He will share the Impac prize with his translator, Linda Coverdale.
In addition to being the literary prize of greatest monetary value, the Impac award is also one of the most eclectic. The winner was whittled down this year from a longlist of 125 books which featured crossover novels and popular names such as Michael Dobbs and Tony Parsons alongside such literary heavyweights as Paul Auster, William Trevor, Margaret Drabble and Rohinton Mistry. Nominations for this year's list were made by 162 libraries in 47 countries.
The Impac also stands out for its long lead time. Novels first published in English between January and December 2002, or first published in a language other than English between January 1998 and December 2002, are eligible for consideration.
The panel of judges reflected the international nature of the prize and included the Indian novelist Anita Desai, Malaysian poet and writer Shirley Geok-Lin Lim, Norwegian poet Knut Odegard and Anglo-French novelist Michèle Roberts.

Why do I get the feeling this wouldn't have been such a big issue if it were somebody from a Western European gene pool, selling cartoon or sports collectibles crap.
February 26th, 2005, 12:18 AM #9
Insinuating there's a prejudice here towards where people live or what they sell, is in extremely poor taste. PM spamming is forbidden, and really not only here but I don't visit any message board that allows PM spamming of any kind. Even a fairly newish member should know the rules of the board they participate.
With the abundant email spam, cold call sells on my phone and all of the other junk advertising I get, some seemingly desparate attempt to recruit me through PM is not welcomed. I'm sure the others that were targeted were just as annoyed, but it seems I was just the first to alert Haiko to it.
If you can't legitimately gain affiliates, it's time to rethink your strategy.

Since I see no indication that Haiko decided to lift the ban on the other screen name, this second screen name is going under a ban also. If you receive a ban from this board, it doesn't mean to just start posting again under a different screen name.

I am still reading threads.
can I ask after reading this one,
is it just me , or do I get the feeling, that as a merchant
from Europe I would be wasting my time if I signed up shareasale,??
the reason I am thinking of shareasale is,
we have sold our product online by ourselves,
and got a good response,
but most of our sales went to the states.
we have a top notch skin care product,
that is winning international awards.
please let me know if I read this thread wrong.

Having learned from the Cubs that to reject a centenarian fan means certain doom, the Boston Red Sox are employing the spry Arthur Giddon as a bat boy for one batter on Saturday.
The 100-year-old retired lawyer will assume bat boy duties at Fenway in Boston's game against the Yankees. And it's not like he doesn't have experience: He had been a bat boy for the Boston Braves in 1922 and '23.
Giddon was born in 1909, and to give you a taste of the kind of baseball carbon dating I'm talking about, the Pittsburgh Pirates won the National League pennant that year. Coming in fifth place: The Brooklyn Superbas.
Also born in 1909: Mel Ott.
"I'm fighting macular degeneration," Giddon confided, "but I can still enjoy watching a game because I recognize the shape of Big Papi (David Ortiz [stats]), and Kevin Youkilis [stats] is easy to spot by the way he bats, jumping up and down."
"I have a lifetime of memories, but they're all fading fast," he said. "Yet my baseball memories have lasted. Did I tell you I met Ted Williams in '39, when he was a rookie? I used to see him walking around Kenmore Square. He seemed like kind of a lonesome guy, so I said 'Hi' a few times, but he never had much to say."

Crystal chemistry of cation-exchanged forms of epistolite-group minerals. Part II. Vigrishinite and Zn-exchanged murmanite
Lykova, Inna S.; Pekov, Igor V.; Zubkova, Natalia V.; Yapaskurt, Vasiliy O.; Chervonnaya, Nadezhda A.; Zolotarev, Andrey A.; Giester, Gerald
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 27 Number 5 (2015), p. 669 - 682

The crystal structure of vigrishinite, an epistolite-group heterophyllosilicate with essential Zn, has been reinvestigated; the ideal end-member formula is revised to Zn2Ti4-x (Si2O7)2O2(OH,F,O)2(H2O,OH,〈)4 with x<1. Structure models of Zn-exchanged forms of murmanite after 5 and 24 hour experiments with 1N ZnSO4 solution at 90 °C have been obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structural formulae are [B1]Ca0.04{Na1.22(Ti1.19Mn0.60Nb0.21)}{[A1,A2]Zn1.03(Ti1.64Nb0.36)[Si2O7]2}O2(O,OH)2(H2O)4 for vigrishinite and {Na1.14(Ti1.45Mn0.50Nb0.05)}{[A1]Ca0.77 [A2]Zn0.13(Ti1.85Nb0.15)[Si2O7]2}O2(OH,O)2(H2O)4 and [B1]Zn0.15 [B2]Ca0.18{Na1.06(Ti1.32Mn0.60Nb0.08)}{[A1]Zn0.70 [A2]Ca0.12(Ti1.74Nb0.26)[Si2O7]2}O2(OH,O)2(H2O)4 for the 5 and 24 hour Zn-exchanged forms of murmanite, respectively (braces give successively the contents of the octahedral O and heteropolyhedral H sheets). The triclinic (P–1) unit-cell parameters are respectively: a = 8.7127(17), 8.871(3), 8.748(2) Å; b = 8.6823(17), 8.844(6), 8.724(2) Å; c = 11.746(2), 11.734(6), 11.675(3) Å; α = 91.481(4), 92.75(3), 92.503(13)°; β = 98.471(4), 97.60(4), 97.846(13)°; γ = 105.474(4), 106.23(2), 105.875(13)°; V = 845.0(3), 872.7(8), 845.9(4) Å3. Our data (1) confirm that vigrishinite was formed as a result of natural ion-exchange of murmanite Na4Ti4 (Si2O7)2O4 · 4H2O with Zn2+ in low-temperature solutions; (2) prove that direct transformation of lomonosovite Na4Ti4(Si2O7)2O4 · 2Na3PO4 into vigrishinite, without prior leaching of Na+ and PO4 3– from the former and formation of murmanite, is unlikely; (3) suggest the following ion-exchange mechanism: during the early stage Na+ leaches into the solution whereas Ca2+, a common admixture in murmanite, migrates into one of the sites in the H sheet, leaving another site vacant for further entry of Zn; in the next stage Zn2+ enters the emptied site in the H sheet and, in small amount, into the interlayer whereas Ca2+ partly moves from the H sheet into the interlayer; (4) show the transformation of the murmanite-type unit cell (P1; V ≈ 440 Å3) into the vigrishinite-type cell with a and b parameters corresponding to the ab face diagonals of the former during the first stage of the exchange with Zn, due to ordering in the H sheet. New findings of vigrishinite in two pegmatites of the Lovozero massif, Kola peninsula, Russia (at Severnyi open pit, Mt. Alluaiv and at Pegmatite #60, Mt. Karnasurt) in the same setting as at the type locality, i.e. only in close contact with cavities after dissolved sphalerite, show that the ion exchange in epistolite-group heterophyllosilicates is not uncommon in Nature. Our data indicate there is a continuous solid solution between murmanite and vigrishinite.

While small child is napping I made my way to the computer and started perusing through some weekend photos, tidying up a little bit of work, playing a little bit of blogger catch up and I stumbled across Little Miss Nancy J's blog and my jaw dropped.
These. Booties. Y'all.
They are everything.
I think my favorite are the tan. But I have an internal struggle because I just purchased these fancy little wedge numbers in a similar color from Nordstrom Rack a week or so ago.
