BMI saluted the writers and publishers of the past year's most performed songs on Christian radio and television during the BMI Christian Music Awards on April 21 at the company's Music Row offices in Nashville. BMI named Casting Crowns' "Voice of Truth" Song of the Year, while the group's frontman Mark Hall earned the prestigious Songwriter of the Year title. BMI Vice President Jody Williams, along with Senior Director Thomas Cain and Associate Director Beth Mason, of BMI's Writer/Publisher Relations department in Nashville, presented awards for 25 songs in five categories: Christian Rock, Contemporary Christian, Inspirational, Urban Gospel and Southern Gospel.
Gospel star Kirk Franklin, Christian rock outfit Sanctus Real and Casting Crowns' Mark Hall delighted the packed room by delivered scorching performances of their award-winning songs.

Mixed Feelings Over Uncredentialed Administrator
February 26, 2016 / Kern Sol News
By Marcus Castro
LAMONT, Calif. — The Lamont School District Board of Trustees meeting was a full house this past Tuesday as parents and teachers expressed their want for Assistant Superintendent Jose Cantu and their opposition toward him.
Cantu's ability to be the Lamont School District's assistant superintendent of curriculum and human resources is being questioned as news surfaced that Cantu does not have the proper administrative credentials for the position.
Now that Cantu is four years into his position, he is making $144,276 annually and is in charge of around 3,000 students. The district is a low academic performing district where, according to the most recent report of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, 16 percent of students are meeting standards in English and 12 percent are meeting standards in mathematics.
Some believe that if Cantu was replaced by an individual who was certified, the students would have a better chance at increasing their test scores and overall grades, and the district would be better off as a whole.
"We also find it problematic that an administrator with the proper credentials, training or experience has been in charge of enforcing disciplinary action for teachers within the district," said President of the Lamont Teachers Association Stacie Rubinol. "We respectfully ask that these concerns be considered when making future decisions that ultimately affect our students and families of Lamont."
Others believe that Cantu is the right man for the job. They believe that Cantu has been and will continue to do a good job.
"I'll let you know Lamont School District that you have a genuine educational leader in your hands. Mr. Cantu's experience, character and, above all, his devotion to Kern County's children is an invaluable resource for any school district," said Principal of Sierra Middle School Tomas Prieto.
Other supporters of Cantu spoke on his dedication to his work.
"The time I worked with Mr. Cantu I know he's a very committed person and very dedicated to his job… I know that he works hard. We need Mr. Cantu here," said school district employee Hilda Valencia.

Erica Lainé: Landscape and Memory
This week's 'writer abroad' is Erica Lainé (or should that be L'Ainé given her family's origins in the Channel Islands?). She originally trained for the theatre at the Arts Educational School in Tring. Later in London, she worked in the Libraries and Arts department of the London Borough of Camden, running the box office for the Arts Festival and then working as a library assistant for books delivered to people who were housebound. She had to read a huge selection of books so that I could make recommendations and talk to a variety of people about books that they wanted and liked. (What a wonderful excuse!)
In 1977, she moved with her husband and two young daughters to Hong Kong where she worked for the British Council – teaching, writing primary school text books and managing English language projects for Chinese teachers of English. She studied for an MA in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at the University of Reading. In 1998, sheI was delighted to be awarded an MBE for her work in Hong Kong. She is now 'retired' and lives in South West France. She began writing seriously and creatively in 2011. Erica says, "It was the most wonderful experience to be liberated into the world of imagination and stories."
Over to Erica!
I first came to this part of France, the north Dordogne or Perigord Vert in 1992, so close to a department line that we are nearly into the Charente. A family holiday from HK and an inkling that we would buy here for post-1997. My husband is an architect so the almost clichéd project, an old fermette and barn to be converted into a house was what we wanted and what we bought. The story of how the conversion was achieved long distance is a small book in itself but everything was finished and ready to live in by the summer of 1997.
This part of the Dordogne is a benign landscape and a subsidised one. Without the EU Common Agricultural Policy the small farms would not survive and as it is much larger fields are created and hedges taken out. We own almost seven hectares of woodland just five minutes from our house and this will be protected from grubbing out and felling although I did eye up some splendid straight oaks as a possible gift for the rebuilding of Nôtre Dame. The landscape was a huge plus after the metropolis we left behind. HK was a wonderful but frantic place to work and live. Here is tranquillity and soothing images for the eyes. Small valleys that fold in on themselves, gentle hills. This is not the Dordogne of gorges and crags.
We settled down and gardened, walked and adapted to a slower pace of life, although J (my husband) started a small architectural practice, and I had a writing commission for the education department in HK. I also taught a small group of English school children who wanted to keep their mother tongue skills alive in extensive and creative reading and writing.
One of the local history societies, specialising in introducing French history to English speaking residents, 'An Aquitaine Historical Society', asked me if I would take over as president. And so began nearly 20 years of monthly talks, study groups, bring and share lunches, outings to all sorts of places of historical interest. Nearly a hundred members, and a lively group they proved to be! And I was now learning a great deal about local and national French history. This was all very new to me indeed. The history of Normandy was a study group subject and when I read that the loss of Normandy was attributed by chroniclers to Isabella of Angoulême, the wife of King John, I was startled. Angoulême is forty minutes away. Why didn't I know about her?
I began researching. Articles in English and French on the web, letters, charters, the Magna Carta project, references in the histories of 13th century Anglo Angevins, maps, Books of Hours, and not least, fictional accounts where she was usually a minor player.
I began to write her life as I wanted it to be told. What intrigued me was that after she returned to France as a widow, leaving her children by John behind, no one seemed to be bothered about her anymore. And yet notable historians Nicholas Vincent and W. C. Jordan saw her as hugely influential and important. The more I researched and discovered, the more the local landscape and small towns became alive, names unchanged since the 1200s. I could trace a route she would have taken, find old roads that linked important towns named in charters, granting Isabella dowry rights; Niort and Saintes. There were old memories in the marshland around La Rochelle or the stony soil that stretched between rivers.

One wonderful discovery was that the gold matrix for her seal is in the archives in Angoulême and the archivist sent me an excellent image to use on the cover of book two of The Tangled Queen. For Isabella took her queen's seal back with her to France and used it always. In Angoulême you can see the château that she and her second husband enlarged as their fortunes grew. It is very close to the cathedral where she was married to John in August 1200 and from where they sped north as quickly as they could, for he had snatched her from the Lusignans. The Lords of Lusignan, powerful and important too and who was Isabella's second husband? Hugh Lusignan.
All over the Poitou, châteaux belonged to them and the legend of Melusine is remembered in all. But for me it is Isabella who is remembered, and without coming to live in France I would never have discovered her and written the trilogy.
I drive to places she knew, I ponder on sites of old skirmishes, of buildings where she encountered hostility, and reflect over her tomb in Fontevraud. On this tomb, her arms, as Queen of England, the red and gold lozenges of Angoulême and the three lions of England, impaled or joined together. But she was definitely The Tangled Queen!

Q: How to show a specific form view (custom) on a Single field? I have a field member_id= fields.Many2one('res.partner', string="Member") and Member is created in my Building module through res.partner. I want to show a custom form on member_id rather than form view of res.partner. How is this possible??
py code:
class CreateTicket(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'helpdesk.ticket'

    member_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', string="Member", domain=[('company_type', '=', 'person')])
    office_no = fields.Char(string="Office No")
    floor = fields.Char(string="Floor")
    raised_by = fields.Char(string="Raised By")
    assigned = fields.Char('Assigned')

    @api.onchange('member_id')
    def onchange_member_id(self):
        obj=self.env['res.contract'].search([('membership_id','=',self.member_id.id)])
        self.floor = obj.sector_id.name
        self.office_no = obj.inventory_id.id

XML code:

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="create_ticket_inherit_view">
        <field name="name">Create Ticket</field>
        <field name="model">helpdesk.ticket</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="helpdesk_basic.view_helpdesk_form"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <xpath expr="//div[@name='button_box']/button[@name='action_get_attachments']" position="after">
                <button class="oe_stat_button" name="on_assigned"
                                type="object" icon="fa-tasks">
                            <field name="assigned" widget="statinfo"/>
                </button>
            </xpath>

            <xpath expr="//field[@name='priority']" position="after">
                <field name="member_id"/>
                <field name="office_no"/>
                <field name="floor"/>
                <field name="raised_by"/>
            </xpath>

        </field>
    </record>

I created a member in different model and I want that view but res.partner base view is being displayed every time.

A: Use context to pass the XML-Id of the form that your many2one should display:
<field name="member_id"
         context="{'form_view_ref':'app_name.xmlID_of_form'}" />

There is tree_view_ref, kanban_view_ref that can be used in X2many fields

Sora and Reno returned to camp exhausted. If infiltrating the castle had been their objective, then they had failed miserably. Though a quick glance at their dragon tattoos revealed that each had earned a hefty sum of KP (Knight Points), Reno was surprised to see himself closer to a level-up than Sora, though both were ultimately far from a level-up. Neither minded since in Academic Mode, the benefits of a level-up were likely limited.
Sora then pulled out a musty and worn leafy tome from his leather knapsack. Opening the book, the pages were written in an archaic alphabet; only later did Reno realize that it was Latin.
"You can read Latin?" Reno asked Sora.
Reno laughed. He had to remember that this was a game. A virtual game but a game nonetheless. It was just that the ultra-realism of the world had thrown him off guard. He was used to in-game text always-already appearing in modern English, usually in an easily digestible text-box; he wasn't used to this brutal and realistic violence; he wasn't used to expending his own energies and huffing and puffing from combat. He was used to simply monitoring his stamina bar in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, not heaving and slashing swords and side-stepping and dodging blows. Reno could only imagine how sore he was going to be when leaving the machine.
The two thought about it for several moments before ultimately deciding on the command tent. They got up and searched. After spending maybe thirty-minutes in vain searching, they relented and asked a passing by solider. His directions weren't the most helpful but after another thirty minutes or so they found the tent in question. Finding it only by at the last minute seeing its distinctive crest slung over the entrance, they turned at their heels and entered; the two guards stared at them for a moment but let them in, no doubt under the impression that each of them was knights of some renown or of some important royal advisers.
Sure enough, there was Ulfius, pouring over what appeared to be tactical maps of the local area. Nestled in a corner was the sick lord Uther, thick furs covering him on a rope-bed. Sora and Reno approached.
"Milord, how is the king?" queried Reno, not quite sure how to begin a conversation with an apparently important NPC.
"Ah, young sir knights. I am surprised to see you, especially after such a vicious first blooding. The king is ill, I'm afraid. I am not sure what I shall do to aid him in time to turn the battle." Replied a visibly downcast Ulfius.
Reno and Sora exchanged looks. Reno wasn't sure quite how to stir the direction of the conversation. He supposed that the best course of action was to keep things simple.
Reno smiled at Sora who smiled back. It appeared that they had done it.
Ulfius went to King Uther. He told him of his plan to go and find Merlyn. Uther looked pleased. Ulfius asked if the king had any information which may help the old lord. The king said in turn, "I am seke for angre and for love of fayre Igrayne, that I may not be wool". Ulfius reiterated that he would seek out Merlyn and find a cure.
And with that, Ulfius was off, taking with him both Reno and Sora since he thought of them good luck.
When they were close to leaving the encampment, they happened upon Merlyn. But, something was off… something weird. Merlyn was coated in a sort of darkness. Like his features were only visible through a pane of frosted glass.
Reno and Sora looked at one another puzzled. Neither knew what to make of this; surely, this wasn't something presumed by the text?
Then, a darkness surged; Merlyn was one the ground and dancing around hid fallen figure was a pale, ghost-like reflection of Merlyn. It glared at Reno and it burned his retinas as though he had just had lost a staring contest with the sun. Another darkness surged, this time around Ulfius; again, Ulfius fell to the ground while a pale-reflection of Ulfius danced cruelly around its fallen master's form. Neither Reno or Sora knew what was happening; Reno was positive that this wasn't from the text.
Belatedly, Reno realized that this must have been the "Corruption" listed on the Region map. He told Sora but that still didn't answer any of the questions— like how to get rid of said corruption and what they should even do.
Suddenly, the two ghosts met. They began to talk.
"Foolish Merlyn, will thy travel with me to heal my wretched lord Uther? He is sick and needs your pathetic remedies." Said the ghost-like Ulfius.
"Yes! But only if you give me Uther's firstborn child, so that I may devour him as part of my cannibal feast!" shouted the ghost-like Merlyn.
"Right!" but Sora didn't stop; he drew his short-sword and charged. But his attack had no effect on the ghosts; the blade just went right through. Sora cursed.
"Hahaha… mortal weapons have no effect on us, child." The two spirits mocked.
Then, out of nowhere, something in Reno's bag shined; the light emanated from within like someone had just turned on several high-powered flashlights coated in Disney magic, for, not only was the light bright but it radiated with a sparkling aura that dazzled.
Reno reached into his bag and withdrew a cross. Translucent and made from a brilliant gemstone Reno couldn't hope to ever identify, it was a sight to behold. Emblazoned on the cross in barely discernible writing was an inscription; it read: "When the Devil claws and corrupts, this cross will glow true; speak the Truth and keep His will absolute." That was as plain as day as far as Reno was concerned. Seeing that Sora was preoccupied with his own fancy cross, Reno decided to wing what he thought the cross wanted.
"Absurd; you cannot tell the future, child." Both scoffed.
Reno thought for a moment. No. He couldn't tell the future. He wasn't Merlyn but he was a book reader. He knew what had happened in Malory's original; initially, Ulfius requited to Merlyn's wish to be justly rewarded, under the condition that Uther, in fact, would ultimately be more rewarded than even Merlyn himself. Reno thought that if he spoke this truth, as the cross had said, then the corruptions would be vanquished; after all, these spirits were called "Corruptions". And how did one right a corruption? But putting in the correct data, by removing the incorrect data.
Reno thought hard but Sora was on the right track and had his book open: "'Whom do you seek?'" Asked Sora imitating Malory's Merlyn to Malory's Ulfius as originally seen in the Morte.
The ghost-like Ulfius looked displeased. They looked paler, like they had lost some of their vitality.
In a burst of black, the two spirits were vanquished. Quickly, as soon as the corruptions vanished, both of the actual Ulfius and Merlyn regained consciousness. Feeling a tinge on their wrists, Reno and Sora noticed that each received a hefty experience boost leveling them up to level 2. The tattoo gained a bit in complexity with each of their dragons receiving an extra talon.
Neither of the students had time to reflect on their victory, however, as both were almost instantaneously plucked from the Territory, flying suddenly through the air as though they were propelled by rockets.
They had been returned to the Region map. A single silver star now hung overhead the Territory; underneath the label 'Corruption' now held a single indicter "1/1".
They had done it. Chapter 1.1 was complete.


When we first encountered this 35-year-old Wayland split-level house, we found its main attribute, a cul-de-sac location in a pleasant neighborhood surrounded by conservation land, was not supported by its design: a stock faux-gambrel that was repeated sporadically through the neighborhood. The front door was all but inaccessible, with the utility door next to the garage serving as the main entrance to the house. Although it was an adequate size, the rooms were characteristically long, low and dark. The homeowners felt (and we agreed) that it looked big but lived small. We saw an opportunity to fulfill the clients' objective: to create a light-filled home that seemed even larger than it actually was. Our first move was to add a full two-car garage, with a master suite above. A true gambrel roof over the new addition gave integrity to the aesthetic treatment of the original house, while providing an open cathedral ceiling to the space inside. The clients' new master suite includes a see-through gas fireplace, dressing room, and bathroom with French doors that open onto its own outdoor balcony.
Sometimes, the biggest addition you can make is a subtraction. The addition of the new master suite allowed the key subtraction: The removal of the floor of the old master bedroom and closet which created a unique double-height space over the living and dining rooms. The vertical orientation of the new space was accented by a tall bank of windows, specially reinforced to stiffen the exterior wall. The front corner of the house was also enlarged with the addition of an elongated bay, giving the living room more comfortable proportions.
The existing screen porch was glazed to create a sunny four-season playroom. The stairwell was widened to create a better connection between levels. The old garage was converted into a large mudroom and a guest bedroom. Upstairs, the new master suite features a see-through gas fireplace, a dressing room, and a bathroom with its own outdoor balcony. The overall feeling is that of an urban loft – airy and bathed in natural light – and a far better reflection of the design sophistication the owners.
Over the course of the planning and construction process, the family added two children. Fortunately, the renovation created nearly a completely new home, with room for everyone.

Runner Hopes to Become First Female Bilateral Amputee to Run a Marathon
Jami Marseilles will make her 26.2 debut at Sunday's Chicago Marathon.
By Alison Wade
Jami Marseilles
Back when Jami Marseilles, of Huntington Beach, California, had legs, she didn't use them to exercise very often. She never dreamed that she would run a marathon one day—let alone run 26.2 miles on prosthetic legs.
It wasn't until Marseilles lost her legs to frostbite at 19 years old that she started exercising. It took another eight years before she tried running.
At Sunday's Chicago Marathon, Marseilles will attempt to become the first female bilateral amputee to run a marathon. If other women have done so, Marseilles is not aware of them. She says she'd enjoy finding other bilateral amputees who want to take on the challenge.
"I'd love to find those women and push them to run with me," Marseilles told Runner's World.
If the run goes well, Marseilles, who will turn 47 next month, hopes to qualify to run April's Boston Marathon (where the qualifying standards and entry window is different for athletes with disabilities). Through her work with the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), Marseilles says she's worked with several women who survived the Boston Marathon bombings, and she would like to honor them.
"My ultimate goal is to run Boston as a tribute to them and how much they've enhanced my life, and the friendship that we've created," Marseilles says.
In December of 1987, Marseilles, a 19-year-old student at Arizona State University, was returning from a ski trip in New Mexico with a friend. They stopped at a gas station to buy a map for directions in the pre-GPS era. The attendant didn't have maps for sale, but he showed them the best route to take by using a map hanging on the wall.
However, they misinterpreted his instructions. They thought he told them to take Route 273, when he had actually advised them to go "to 73." The simple mistake altered the course of their lives.
The two women got caught in a snowstorm, hit a snowbank, and went off the road. Unable to move their car, they waited for help to arrive. They consumed a cinnamon roll, the only food they had, within the first two days and chipped away at a frozen six-pack of Diet Pepsi.
The storm let up after four days. They later learned that authorities had closed the road after they had passed through, and that was why they never saw any snowplows or other vehicles.
The two women spent Christmas and New Year's Day in the car, stranded in a remote part of Arizona. Finally, two snowmobilers found them on January 2, 1988. In all, they spent 11 days in the car, drinking melted snow to stay alive.
Marseilles spent more than three weeks in the hospital following the ordeal. She learned that doctors would have to amputate both of her legs about five inches below her knees because of the frostbite. The news rocked her, but Marseilles was thankful to be alive. Her friend also suffered serious frostbite, but kept her legs.
"My physical therapist in the hospital told me I was now missing almost 25 percent of my body, and the best way to try to heal myself [would be] to gain strength and power through exercise," Marseilles says. "In the beginning I wasn't so happy with that, [having grown] up not wanting to exercise, but when they demonstrated to me how strong I could become, I knew that that was my path."
For the first eight years after she lost her legs, Marseilles lifted weights, biked, and walked. But when she moved to California in 1993, she had to find a new prosthetist. In 1996, that prosthetist inspired her by showing a video of athletes competing in the Atlanta Paralympic Games.
"I was just beyond impressed by these athletes and what they were doing with their bodies, let alone the prosthetic devices that they were competing with," Marseilles said. "That's when I first started running."
Marseilles, then 27, started out as a sprinter and improved so much that she was able to represent the U.S. internationally at Paralympic competitions in Spain, Germany, and Australia. After narrowly missing out on a spot at the 2000 Paralympic Games, Marseilles turned to distance running.
Marseilles ran her first half marathon in 2001 before taking a break from the distance. After having two children, who are now 9 and 11, she ran three more half marathons. Marseilles never planned to run a full marathon, but after running one of her best half marathons in January, she had a change of heart, inspired partially by her work with the CAF.
Sprinting and distance running both require their own type of highly specialized and expensive running legs, different from the prosthetic legs Marseilles wears when she's just walking around. Generally, running blades are not covered by insurance.
"I believe with all my heart they should be," Marseilles said. "I think in incorporating running and having a healthy lifestyle, I believe I actually saved the health insurance companies a lot of money."
That's part of the reason Marseilles is so passionate about the work she does with the CAF, whose grants help offset the cost of running legs, among other things, for runners of all ages and abilities.
Along with being a motivational speaker and author, she is now in her second year working as a kindergarten teacher. Marseilles said she hopes to lead by example and show her students they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.
Because she was born in Chicago, Marseilles will be cheered on at the race by 20 to 25 family members, including her two children and her husband.
Marseilles will start the race with other athletes with disabilities at 7:22 a.m., eight minutes before the first mass start. She hopes to complete the course in six and a half hours, or faster.
"The anticipation of what to expect when I've never pushed past 19 miles—that's what I'm a little nervous about," Marseilles said, "but I also know I'm going to hold in my box of tools [the fact that] if I can survive 11 days in that car, I can survive six and a half hours out on a marathon course."

No "year of the Linux desktop" after 2 decades? LinuxCon keynote: "so what?"
During opening keynotes at the LinuxCon event, Linux Foundation executive …
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the open source Linux kernel, a milestone that is being celebrated this week at LinuxCon in Vancouver. During the opening keynote presentations at the event, Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin and Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst took a look back at the success of Linux and its prospects for the future.
Zemlin began his keynote by asking the audience to imagine a world without Linux. The kernel powers stock exchanges, nuclear submarines, consumer electronics devices, and many other systems. Although alternative software could be used in its place, Linux's unique blend of pragmatic leadership, copyleft licensing, and community-driven development have made it a defining force in the software industry.
Zemlin emphasized the important role that the copyleft licensing and underlying philosophical values behind the open source movement have played in advancing Linux. Although corporate adoption has been vital to the kernel's long-term success and enabling the technical sophistication that it enjoys today, he argued that the freedoms that Linux represents have been a powerful sustaining force, ensuring that technical improvements are accessible to everyone.
"Companies come and go. Products come and go. But one thing endures: freedom," Zemlin said. "[Freedom is] important for the last 20 years, and important for the next 100 years."
Whitehurst shared a similar sentiment and suggested that Linux's license and collaborative development ecosystem have opened the door for a lot of innovation that might not have been possible otherwise. It has lowered the costs and accelerated time to market for many companies.
Major software industry figures like Amazon, Google, and Facebook have built much of their technical infrastructure on top of Linux. Whitehurst questions whether these companies would even be able to exist in their current form if open source software had not been available to them. He argued that the higher operating costs of having to bootstrap a website on more expensive proprietary UNIX solutions might have prevented companies like Facebook from being able to adopt free, ad-supported business models.
He also discussed the ways that upstream collaboration and transparent development have benefited the Linux platform and its adopters. Improvements that were made for specific use cases have often proved advantageous for other groups of users. For example, the improvements to real-time Linux that the United States Navy contributed in order to accommodate the technical requirements of a missile-defense system have been equally useful to Wall Street, which relies on Linux to run the New York Stock Exchange.
Linux as a technology is important, he said, but its impact has transcended technology. Whitehurst believes that the Linux community has created a collaborative instrument that can solve some of the world's great problems.
Red Hat, which is expected to generate $1 billion dollars in revenue next year, is arguably one of the strongest enterprise Linux success stories. Although Linux has seen many successes over the past 20 years, it hasn't always fulfilled the hopes and expectations of its most ardent supporters.
Outside of data centers and enterprise server rooms, the platform's status is less rosy. Linux hasn't brought a revolution of openness and collaboration to the mobile industry despite its widespread adoption by commercial consumer electronics companies. Linux has also consistently failed to gain traction on the desktop, even as Apple is finally beginning to make some headway against Microsoft's desktop dominance.
In a moment of self-effacing humor, Zemlin acknowledged that the illusory "year of the Linux desktop" hasn't come yet—despite his annual predictions of its imminent arrival. Ever the optimist, he seemed to be only half-joking when he declared that 2012 will finally be the year when his prediction comes true. References to the "year of the Linux desktop" became a running joke in presentations for the rest of the day.
Linux has come a long way over the past 20 years. It's hard to guess how much further Linux will advance in the years to come, but the platform's optimistic enterprise backers anticipate a bright future. In a closing statement after Whitehurst finished his presentation, Zemlin suggested comparing the changes in Microsoft and Red Hat stock price over the past decade. Red Hat is still dwarfed by Microsoft's size, but the Linux vendor's 500 percent growth certainly looks impressive.

Q: Swapping an OLD AD Server with a NEW (Blank) AD Server - Same FQDN I have a Win2k3 domain right now and I would like to upgrade it into a SBS 2008 Domain. This is simply on a VM and not a real world thing. I would like to know what happens. I don't really have the hardware that's big enough to hold 2 server OS (especially a resource hog SBS 2008) and Windows XP client VM's to test the whole thing. I'm just running on my Mac.
I'd like to know what happens if I do a "bait and switch". WIll the client be "migrated" to the new server but without computer and user accounts, thus causing it not to be able to log-in? Will I lose data on the client machine due to this?
I've been looking for info on this but haven't found much. Maybe I'm just using the wrong search query...

A: No, you can't perform a "bait and switch". You'll need to do one of two things:

*

*Unjoin the client computers from the old domain and join them to the new domain and create user accounts in the new domain for your users. These will not map to your old user profiles but you should be able to copy the old profiles to the new profiles.

*Migrate to SBS2008. Microsoft has documentation for doing this. The guide can be used for migrating from W2K3 or SBS2003 to SBS2008. You'll need to ignore any tasks related to Exchange Server, SQL Server, or Sharepoint Server if you're migrating from W2K3 rather than SBS2003. You can do this with one permanent server but you'll need one temporary server to act as a "placeholder".
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbs-2008-2003-migration(WS.10).aspx

A: As far as I'm aware, you cannot "upgrade" to an SBS 2008 domain. SBS 2008 expects to be the only domain controller on the network, and it expects to be starting a brand new domain.
So, if you're going to go down this path, you're going to have to un-join each computer from the old domain and then join it to the new domain.
The computer account will be re-created on the new domain once it re-joins, but no user accounts will come over. You should not lose any data however, but you might need to copy any profile-specific stuff from the old profile to the new one (\documents and settings\{username}.{domain} if the usernames are the same)
It's also worth noting that SBS 2008 is not a "blank" AD server as your title suggests. SBS 2008 is very fully loaded.

PANTHERS SIGN VETERAN PRO CANADIAN PITCHER
The Kitchener Panthers are excited to announce the signing of 6'4 Right Handed Pitcher, Skylar Janisse (Maidstone, ON), for the 2022 season.
Touted as a great teammate and a bulldog competitor on the mound, Janisse projects to be another impact signing for the Panthers this off-season. A 6 year pro, Frontier League Champion, Junior National team member and 2011 New York Yankees draft pick, Janisse will be a great veteran presence in the locker room and appears primed to succeed in the Intercounty Baseball League.
An alumnus of the Windsor Selects program, Janisse was a member of the Ontario youth team at the Canada Cup, played in the Under Armour All-American game and was a member of the Canadian Junior National Team for three years throughout high school. This led to a selection in the 2011 Major League Baseball draft by the New York Yankees. Opting to pursue collegiate baseball instead of signing, Skylar went on to post a 2-1 record with a 0.95 ERA in 20 innings of work during his Freshman season at NJCAA D1 San Jacinto College (Texas). He then transferred to NJCAA D1 Salt Lake Community College where he went 3-1 with a 1.74 ERA, striking out 36 batters in 31 innings pitched. Janisse went on to play his final two years of college ball at NAIA powerhouse Oklahoma City University (Oklahoma), winning a Conference Championship in 2015 and having a standout 2016 Senior season where he recorded 6 wins, 69 strikeouts and a 3.46 ERA.
Janisse has since pitched in 6 Independent Professional seasons, recording a career record of 18-10, 274.1 innings pitched, and 243 strikeouts. His time in Independent ball is highlighted by his two seasons spent with the Joliet Slammers (Illinois) of the Frontier League. In 2017, Skylar had a 6-3 record, a 3.61 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 62.1 innings pitched. In 2018, Skylar made 25 appearances out of the bullpen, striking out 44 in 50 innings pitched, on route to helping the Slammers capture the Frontier League Championship. Most recently, Janisse pitched for the Winnipeg Goldeyes in the American Association in 2021.
Panthers Field Manager, Don Menard, has coached Janisse in the past with the Woodslee Orioles minor baseball organization, wining an OBA title in 2009. When asked about Skylar, he commented; "It will be a pleasure to coach Skylar once again. He's a big game pitcher who gives his all every time he steps onto the mound and is always ready to battle for his teammates. He's a great teammate on and off the field and is sure to be a favourite with the fans".
When asked about the upcoming season, Janisse commented; "It's an absolute pleasure to be signed by such a great organization. I can't wait to take the field and play in front of the Panthers fans. Don (Menard) and I have a lot of history, he coached my Father in 1987 and myself twice in minor baseball. We've won championships together in the past and the goal is to win another one here in Kitchener for the Panthers fans. I can't wait to get started!"
Welcome to Kitchener, Skylar!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of migrant families and children entering the U.S. from Mexico is so high that Border Patrol is immediately releasing them instead of transferring them to the agency responsible for their release, forcing local governments to help coordinate their housing, meals and travel.
Agents are still doing medical screenings and criminal checks, but the decision means thousands of families will be released without first going through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which manages their deportation cases.
And along the border, officials were working to manage the families that had been suddenly released. Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls said his city is working with various non-governmental organizations to make sure families released by the Border Patrol have temporary housing, food, medical care and help with traveling to their intended destinations.
Galvan reported from Phoenix. Associated Press reporter Elliot Spagat contributed from San Diego.
This version corrects the agency name, Immigration and Customs not Customs and Immigration.


From 200 passengers in 2005, to over 15,000 passengers per annum in 2016, Expat Explore offers over 50 tour packages to destinations across Europe, the UK, Turkey, Greece, Croatia and Egypt. Since its first tour, Expat Explore Travel has been conducting expert-led coach tours to Europe and the UK. A company started by two South African travellers, Expat Explore grew out of their desire to share their knowledge and expertise with others.
Expat has always had a focus on providing once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences at an accessible price, delivered at the highest quality possible standards. Over the years, many thousands of passengers of all ages and backgrounds have explored the world's most enticing destinations with us. We're proud to be celebrating 12 years on the road and to think back on all the memorable experiences.
In 1997, Carl Cronje departs a tour to Europe. As a 20-year old, Carl was lucky to win a return ticket with British Airways to any place in Europe. He chose one destination where he knew he would be able to see the most in a short space of time - Paris, France! Travelling with a friend, and having only the time over spring break to explore (on a very limited budget), they traversed Paris by foot for eight full days. Needless to say, by the end of the trip Carl knew Paris like the back of his hand! The following year, Carl returned to Paris, bringing two more friends and acting as their personal guide through the city. After this encounter, Carl knew wholeheartedly that he wanted to follow his number one passion - travel.
Jakes wanted to travel the world straight after school, but his dad insisted that he finish his stint at university first (something he is very thankful for today). Later in his university life he was lucky enough to get his first real exposure to Europe on a student scholarship. This triggered his passion for history, especially European history and how it influenced the rest of the world.
In late 2002/early 2003, Carl and Jakes arrived in the UK after graduating from university. Seeking adventure and opportunity to travel before committing to full-time employment, neither of them expected that they would continue to do so to this very day.
Jakes and Carl knew each other obliquely as student leaders in SA before meeting up as expats working in London. Towards the end of 2004, Jakes had a placement at a recruitment and tax administration company. Wanting to expand to visa services, he met with Carl, who was designing and conducting tours for his friends.
Exploring was something both of them were (and still are) passionate about. So, given the similarities in what they both wanted to do, Carl's creativity, Jakes' business acumen, and their mutual passion for adventure, they took the plunge and started Expat Explore.
The first step was getting approval from the French Consulate in London to allow them to process Schengen visas. Confident that it would work, Expat Explore was officially "launched" (without any real tours and services) by having a party for all friends, family members and acquaintances in Canary Wharf.
The first officewas a 16m2 space in Bromley, London that Carl, Jakes and one additional staff member shared with another company. Carl used the bookshelf as a desk for the first three months - truly humble beginnings. The office then moved to Canada Water, the area we're still in today.
Together, Carl and Jakes streamlined a weekend tour program that offered weekend trips to Paris. With previous experience in part-time weekend tours (which they ran twice a month throughout 2003 and 2004), Jakes and Carl knew all the best ways to explore Paris on foot, as well as the shortcuts on the underground Metro trains. Jakes and Carl were the first ever tour leaders for Expat Explore, and alternated weekends to lead the groups. They wanted tours to focus a lot on history, and made an effort to learn all there is was to know about the regions and cities included on their tours.
The first official tour was held over Easter weekend in March 2005. The tour ran from Friday to Monday over the course of 4 days and 3 nights, at a cost of £129. 42 people signed up for the tour and guests stayed over at the Ibis Budget La Villette hotel - a hotel we still occasionally use today.
Back then the National Express was used as primary transport medium. Groups departed from Victoria Coach Station late on Fridays, and travelled overnight to Paris. After a packed weekend itinerary, they caught an overnight bus back to London to arrive bright and early on Monday morning - just in time for a shower and breakfast before getting back to work!
From the very start Jakes and Carl knew that the secret of successful tours lies in knowing and understanding the passengers and their needs.
After the first year of Expat Explore, it had become a well-established name among the expats living in London. In total, 12 Paris weekend tours departed in that year, as well as four Amsterdam weekend tours. By the end of that year, 500 travellers had travelled with Expat Explore.
The first long Europe tour (predecessor to the current Europe Explorer tour) was a 14-day tour that departed in September 2006 with 36 explorers in tow. It was an experiment that included places Carl and Jakes had discovered over the past three years.
The first 12-day tour (called Europe Escape) departed on 22 July 2007 with 26 guests aboard. This was the start of a permanently scheduled tour program, and also the beginning of one of Expat Explore's most popular tours to date.
Between 2007 and 2011 the first Expat Explore branded coach was introduced. Up until this point, Expat Explore coaches were generically branded by a European coach line supplier. For the first time Expat Explore tours were visible on the road and caught the attention of potential customers. From 2011 onwards, this resulted in a dramatic increase in the amount of Expat Explore tours on the road.
To expand on the multi-country European tours Expat Explore already offered, new in-depth regional tours to the United Kingdom, Italy and France were added. The first regional tour was the 8 day Taste of Italy tour that departed in May 2014 with 23 passengers. The itinerary included wonderful destinations like Rome, Lake Garda and Tuscany and continues to do so to this day.
In 2014, Jakes and Carl made the decision to offer Expat Explore passengers the promise of guaranteed departures. Keeping non-refundable flights and set leave dates from work in mind, they wanted to make sure that no one ever had to face the disappointment of a cancelled tour.
Following this decision tours always departed as promised - even if just one person booked a seat! Very soon passengers started to see the value of our promise and guaranteed departures became an integral part of how we operate. Since then every single Expat Explore tour has departed as planned.
May 2015 - Alpenrose Hotel & Gardens opens it doors!
In the summer of 2014 a hotel in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland came up for sale. Frequent travellers to Wilderswil and surrounds, Carl and his partner Ryan fell in love with the beauty of the Alps and purchased the hotel. Renovations started in 2015, and after it was completed in a record time of six weeks, the new Alpenrose Hotel & Gardens opened its doors for Expat Explore guests in May 2015.
2017 - Celebrating over 12 years of travel excellence!
Today Expat Explore welcomes over 15 000 passengers per annum. We have 31 tour leaders on the road, leading passengers to over 35 countries on more than 50 different tour itineraries.

Q: is http cookie the right place for storing user information Scenario:
I want to call an external api for authentication and then store the response in session so that any subsequent requests I make could use that information to do certain checks.
I am using Laravel and it offers you the option to store your session data in cookies. Are they safe to store user details, if they are retrieved from an external API? Any security risks? Is that a good solution?


ALEM member companies design, manufacture, supply, install and maintain proven ranges of scissor lift tables for use in a multitude of demanding applications.
Using a robust scissor mechanism to provide strength and stability over variable lift heights, scissor lift tables have a level platform that can also be fitted with a conveyor, turntable, tilt mechanism and many other options to meet individual applications. They can be fixed or mobile and can raise and lower from a few kilos to 100 tonnes or more between different levels in numerous industries and environments. Typical installations include the support of packing and production lines to maintain loads at an optimum working height whilst removing or adding layers of products. Scissor lifts are also frequently used to transfer goods and/or operators between floors or varying floor levels. Within loading bays, they are relied upon to simplify the safe loading and unloading of vehicles, aircraft and rail wagons. When used as versatile vehicle lifts, they facilitate parking in domestic or commercial premises and, as maintenance lifts, they provide controllable access for engineers when carrying out repairs or exchanging components within buildings or beneath machinery. Sizes range from a small mobile scissor lift to one that is used in an aircraft carrier!

What's new in construction
Currently, 16 nuclear reactors in the UK generate around a sixth of the electricity we need. All but one of these reactors could be retired by 2030. To replace them the government is in the process of commissioning the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors at eight sites in the UK.
The building of the reactors at each one of these sites could be a significant multi-billion pound project in its own right and generate thousands of construction industry jobs on a local and national scale. For example, at the peak of the work at Hinkley Point C in Somerset, which is in the process of being planned to take place between 2016 and 2023, a workforce of approximately 6,000 people could be employed.
Hinkley Point C - Different stages of construction | 04:59
This animation explores the inner workings of the EPR reactor and shows the different stages of the build, including earthworks, construction and electricity generation.
To find out more about the Hinkley Point C project, visit the EDF Energy website.
Many large construction developments
The types of professions from the construction industry that could be particularly in demand at Hinkley Point C include steel fixers, concretors, scaffolders, civil engineering operatives, construction supervisors and managers, labourers and plant operatives. The main developments they could help to build include:
Two UK EPR nuclear reactors units
Two turbine halls
Cooling water infrastructure
Fuel and waste management facilities
Electricity transmission infrastructure
A sea wall
A public information centre
Landscaping for the construction land
In addition, there could be a significant number of associated building developments taking place in the surrounding area of Hinkley Point C. The main ones are accommodation campuses for construction workers, park and ride facilities to transport workers, a temporary jetty and refurbished wharf to deliver heavy equipment, a bypass around a nearby village and a series of highway improvement schemes.
The largest Dam in the UK is the Llyn Brianne Dam in South Wales. It is 300ft high and holds back 62 million tonnes of water.
Meeting a demand for skills
To meet the demand for the professions needed to build these developments, key organisations from the construction industry are working together on a number of initiatives. This includes developing frameworks for training programmes and apprenticeships to produce the skilled construction workers that are required.
Authoritative career information and guidance is also being developed to educate existing members of the construction industry and potential new entrants about how they could be part of the nuclear build programme. This will include profiles of relevant construction jobs and case studies of people who are already doing these jobs. These case studies will explore their career paths and particular skills.
For further information about Hinkley Point C, visit EDF Energy's website
The nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C will produce power for five million UK homes.
The main earthworks will require the excavation of four million cubic metres of earth, the equivalent of 1,300 Olympic swimming pools.
The 230,000 tonnes of steel needed for the project could build a train track from London to Rome.
The three million tonnes of concrete required is 75 times the amount that was needed to build The O2 arena in Greenwich.
Compared to existing nuclear reactors, EPR reactors have enhanced safety features, are more efficient and produce less long-lived radioactive waste.

Tom Cable Q&A
Posted on November 17, 2010 by Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
A transcript of Raiders' coach Tom Cable at his press briefing Wednesday following practice:
Cable: Heyward-Bey did not practice, he strained a hamstring last Tuesday at practice Schilens did not practice Zach Miller practiced limited, John Henderson practiced limited, as did Nnamdi Asomugha
Q: How much work did those three do?
Cable: It was a decent amount; hopefully it will be more Thursday, We want to kind of put them so through some things today and see how they feel Thursday. If they feel like they did at the end of practice, we're probably going to get more and more out of them
Q: That sounds encouraging …
Cable: Very.
Q: Could you rank those three, who is the farthest from coming back?
Cable: Not really. I think they're all about the same. They're doing well
Q: How serious is Heyward-Bey's injury?
Cable: It's just sore. It's a real slight strain, not real serious, but it's one of those things where if you push it too much too quick, it could become serious.
Q: Did Schilens have a setback?
Cable: It's not so much a setback, it's responded really well when we're on the field running straight ahead; it's just a matter of being able to cut and coming in and out of cuts. Still not very smooth yet.
Q: What has been the impact of Hue Jackson?
Cable: He has been a big lift for us in that we've taken some stuff he brought from Baltimore and his past at Cincinnati and put it with what was here and he's done a nice job meshing the whole thing together.Some of the specific things, a little more gap scheme in terms of running the football and I think his idea of throwing the ball down the field bodes well for what we're trying to do. A lot of it is play-action. It's been a real good fit that way.
Q: Roethlisberger very good when flushed out of the pocket, what's the best way to defend him?
Cable: I think you have to keep him in the pocket. We're very aware that one, escapeability, he may be as good as there is. Outside the pocket, he's dramatically, to another level, dramatically better than most. So you want to squeeze him from all angles, whether it's with pressure or with a four-man rush. The biggest thing is if you get your hands on him is to wrap him up. I think that's the biggest thing. That's the biggest thing. Very good at getting out of sacks and potential traffic. And then you stay in coverage on the back end, because that's where he does a really good job is escaping and throwing the ball down the field.
Q: How much more difficult in that you play man, whereas on zone team might be looking at him, but in man guys can't see him or what he's doing?
Cable: I think as long as you plaster and stay on your man, you're in good shape. I think it plays to our hands a little bit better because we are a man team. If you're in zone and looking to him and he escapes and moves out you start losing people in coverage.
Q: You watched last year's game and comeback with your team what point did that serve?
Cable: I watched it last year on Monday, but we used it as part of the breakdown to some extent. I think the importance is we were just there almost 12 months ago, that we went in there, hung in there, hung in there, and found a way to win the game. I think, when you talk about when you're going to Pittsburgh , people want to talk about their style of play, talk about their crowd, a very football savvy group of people. Just the fact that we've been there, found a way to have success there and just to kind of reiterate the fact that this is another team.
Q: Players have been talking about how you connect with them. Who have been your coaching influences?
Cable: I think I've had a lot of good influences. My college coach was Dennis Erickson. My high school coach, Dick Armstrong. Guys who have mentored me in this league, Alex Gibbs, Steve Mariucci, Keith Gilbertson. I've had very good fortune in terms of who I've been around, and I think all those guys had one thing in common and that was they connected with the players.
Q: A lot of energy today as practice opened . . .
Cable: I think that comes with success. We've won a few games now and you come back from the bye, we're healthier, we're excited for the second half of the season. You look out there, and you all do a good job of kind of telling them where they're at and what's ahead of them and all that. So there is a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. We're excited about going to Pittsburgh and the opportunity that's ahead of it. And it just comes from finding some success.
Q: How do you address the danger of being overconfident?
Cable: I won't let that happen. We haven't done a damn thing, and that's been our motto. We have got to keep grinding and fighting and going to work and cutting it loose and doing what we do. I think if I ever feel like we lose sight of that, I'll reel them back in, but that's not us, at least not yet.
Q: Do you feel as if you still have something to prove to people about your being a contender?
Cable: You do because we have to have that feeling. For one, we haven't done anything yet. We have won three games in a row, we're 5-4, we missed a kick in Arizona , we didn't score a touchdown at San Francisco . And those two things kind of, from a coach's standpoint, really gnaw at you because you kind of know what you're team should be. But we're not. So, in order to accomplish anything, we have got to keep doing our job, which is getting better.
Q:Do you sense a boost in Ford's confidence after big game vs. KC?
Cable: Not really. I've kind of thought from the very beginning that Jacoby had that air about him. It was just a matter of getting him acclimated him, teaching him the system and then finding out where he fits. And what coaches do is, find out where can you use a guy and what kind of role can he have. But he's always been a confident guy in who he is.\
Q: Can you emulate the Patriots and other teams that spread out the Steelers and beat them with the pass, or are you not built that way?
Cable: We're really not. You hit it on the head. We have to be who we are. At the same time, you look at some of the issues that they had on Sunday night was about spreading them out and mixing them up. Where do you have that fine line between what we are and what our strengths are into trying to be something maybe a little more that way, meaning spread? At the end of the day, be who you are and you might mix in a few things.
Cable quick hits

Tatoo? What about a big DHB tatted across your stomach?
I bet you wished you had these redbull/hi caffeine drinks back then huh?
Oakland coach Tom Cable reportedly wouldn't go on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" because he didn't want to go on the show with former Raider Warren Sapp. Sapp has been very critical of Cable and the Raiders in the past. It's Cable's right to not want to talk someone.
Oakland running back Darren McFadden believes the Raiders aren't be taken seriously enough after its 5-4 start. If the Raiders can beat Pittsburgh on Sunday, that perception could change. Meanwhile, the Football Outsiders have some statistical keys to the Raiders' game at Pittsburgh.

"Dont be upset fellas, my boys in college and the pros are , had a huge weekend. The folks that say I dont know qb talent, my favorite players, and my favorite team is pissing on their pillow case, and i love it.
David Garrard, Cam Newton, Campbell Smith, ill take any one of these dudes in silver and black in a heart beat. These cats get it done."

445.Macho Man Randy Savage Says:
Spread them out with Ford, Murphy, Z.Miller and Dmac, sprinkle some N.Miller. Play Bush at HB…The pass will set up the run, these are the Steelers.
^^^^^^^
Agreed….but I would also like to see more Wildcat and Pistol formations and Campbell roll out of the pocket more away from pressure.
Have to keep that Steeler defense off balance. Use DMC more as WR also in the slot and use double TE sets with Miller and Myers and Reece needs to be put in the slot also and used as more of an H back.
The offensive scheme and formations need to be MIXED up all game long to keep the Pitt defense off balance!

Wrong again AIG,
I listed some of my favorite players in response to being ripped for my opinions on how they play.

my buddy was a GI doing those mobile tracked arty and he had to drive the ammo track during the first gulf.

Stop falling for the BS caricatures. I served like Jimmy Carter and George McGovern served. I despise chickenhawks like Cheney and Reagan and Gingrich and…
Are they trying to take his Heisman Trophy away for all the money he took to go to Mich?

I don't fell sorry for many people, I do fell sorry for you. The Dew is the Necter of the Earth, and New Yrok is HE!L.
Dude, back away from the ledge…. We can fix this. Let me know if you need a road map to success!
Trade Jon Condo for Gods Country Dew!

LoL Raccoon. I like New York. Taxes are a little high, but I dont own a house anyways. Bills fans get a little annoying sometimes but I just remind them that their team name stands for Boy I Love Losing Superbowls
I hear you. I used to follow the Marines FB page and the Marines on there were mostly far right guys. FB had to take it down. You sir has just earned another notch of respect from me. Nothing like a lib with Marine Corp cred.
I'm not a fan of chickenhawks on the right nor a fan of the far left who never served either. Wolfowitz and Cheney are the two biggest Chickenhawks, but the one that takes the cake for me is Douglas Feith. What an a$$ he is.
