The University of Alberta Press has published a new book entitled Government Information in Canada available in a downloadable open access version:
"Public access to government information forms the foundation of a healthy liberal democracy, but because this information can be precarious, it needs stewardship. Government Information in Canada provides analysis about the state of Canadian government information publishing. Practitioners from across the country draw on decades of experience and hands-on practice to offer a broad, well-founded survey of history, procedures, and emerging issues—particularly the challenges posed by the transition of government information from print to digital access. This is an indispensable book for librarians, archivists, researchers, journalists, and everyone who uses government information and wants to know more about its publication, circulation, and retention."
The editors are Amanda Wakaruk (University of Alberta) and Sam-chin Li (University of Toronto).
They explain that the book:
aims to document both the current state of government information in Canada and the “state of the discipline” of government information librarianship from a practitioner’s perspective,

The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is organizing @Risk North 2: Digital Collections, a one-day forum to be held in Montreal on November 9, 2018.
As part of that forum,  Canadian institutions are being invited to submit proposals for 5-minute lightning talks describing major current digital preservation initiatives:
"Academic libraries, public libraries, national libraries, museums, archives, and any other organizations involved in the digital preservation of cultural and documentary heritage are welcome to submit. Presentations will be selected to reflect a diverse selection of initiatives that are building significant technical, organizational or policy capacity for the preservation of one or more types of digital content."
The deadline is September 20, 2018.

Ode to the Microfilm Reader
"Unlike a computer—even an old one—it was heavy and ungainly. It would not fit into a car, and it could not be carried by two people for more than a few feet. Even moving the thing was an embarrassment. No one wanted it, but no one wanted me to have it around either."
"The xkcd comic gets a laugh because it seems absurd to suggest microfilm as the most reliable way to store archives, even though it will remain reliable for 500 years. Its lasting power keeps it a mainstay in research libraries and archives. But as recent cutting-edge technologies approach ever more rapid obsolescence, past (and passed-over) technologies such as the microfilm machine won’t go away. They’ll remain, steadily doing the same work they have done for the past century for another five more at least—provided the libraries they are stored in stay open, and the humans that would read and interpret their contents survive."

Merger of Canadian Research Knowledge Network and Canadiana.org
The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Canadiana.org merged operations earlier this month:
"Merger discussions began in June, 2016 in recognition of a changed research environment and with the goal of building on the strengths and complementary activities of two of Canada’s most impactful content-based national organizations serving Canada’s digital research infrastructure. This merger allows CRKN and Canadiana to cohesively pursue a united and coordinated strategy that is envisioned and directed by member libraries, and works in partnership with research and memory institutions, funders, and other partners, broadening and expanding Canada’s vision and impact in digital scholarship."
CKRN is a partnership of Canadian universities that undertakes large-scale content acquisition and licensing initiatives to help its member institutions.
The press release announcing the merger provides some "quick facts":
CRKN has worked with Canadiana since 2006 to provide subscription access to the Early Canadiana Online (ECO) collection, which is a large collection of full-text historical content about Canada, including books, magazines and government documents.
Currently, 54 CRKN members have subscriptions to Canadiana Online or the ECO collection. CRKN members provide the bulk of Canadiana's funding through subscriptions and membership fees.
In 2013, CRKN and Canadiana collaborated on the Heritage Project, a 10-year initiative to digitize and make accessible online some of Canada’s most popular archival collections encompassing roughly 40 million pages of primary-source documents. This project was funded by 46 CRKN members.
The merger will leverage Canadiana’s certification as a Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR) to support members in their own institutional digitization work.
As part of the merger, CRKN will propose By-Law changes at its next Annual General Meeting that would allow Library and Archives Canada (LAC), Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) and Toronto Public Library (TPL) to qualify as CRKN institutional members
The merger allows CRKN and Canadiana coordinated representation as part of the Canadian National Heritage Digitization Strategy, which outlines a way for Canadian memory institutions to work together to digitize, preserve and make accessible Canada’s documentary heritage.
The merger allows for CRKN and Canadiana to pursue activities that further the preservation, digitization, access, and discoverability of content, as well as goals in the development of open access to Canadian content.

US Federal Courts Web Archive
The Library of Congress blog In Custodia Legis has a post today on the launching of the Federal Courts Web Archive:
"The Federal Courts Web Archive, recently launched by the Library of Congress Web Archiving Team and the Law Library of Congress, provides retrospective archival coverage of the websites of the federal judiciary. The websites in this archive include those of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as federal appellate courts, trial courts, and other tribunals. These sites contain a wide variety of resources prepared by federal courts, such as: slip opinions, transcripts, dockets, court rules, calendars, announcements, judicial biographies, statistics, educational resources, and reference materials. The materials available on the federal court websites were created to support a diverse array of users and needs, including attorneys and their clients, pro se litigants seeking to represent themselves, jurors, visitors to the court, and community outreach programs."

The University of Ottawa Library and the Carleton University Library, in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada (LAC), are holding a Government Information Day on October 26, 2017.
Truth and Reconciliation Web Archive Launched at University of Winnipeg
"For six years the TRC documented one of the most vicious components of settler society’s colonial legacy of Indigenous erasure: the residential school programme. To trace the popular response to the TRC investigations, the University of Winnipeg, in collaboration with the University of Manitoba, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and Library and Archives Canada has initiated a project to capture and record websites relating to the work of the TRC and responses to its Calls to Action. (...) Staff at LAC similarly archived websites of a national scope. These sites have been captured, described, and curated using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service. This is a pilot project that envisions national participation. The NCTR will provide a hub to facilitate access to all current and future jurisdictions of the web archive."
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Opens at University of Manitoba (November 5, 2015): "The Centre hosts a massive database of its collections including: the materials from the TRC / testimonials from survivors of the schools / millions of records from federal departments and from Library and Archives Canada (records detailing how the schools were created and run; school admissions; school histories; administration records; photographs; maps, plans and drawings) / records from churches that ran the schools (student records; photographs; school newsletters; cemetery records; religious records; administrative records)"

Symantec Testifies Before U.S. Congress in Opposition to Wassenaar Arrangement Cybersecurity Export Controls
On January 12, 2016, Cheri McGuirt a rare joint hearing ofwas titled: Wassenaar – Cybersecurity & Export Control. Given the serious consequences this new international export control could have on global cybersecurity, it was no surprise that the hearing room was at overflow capacity. In addition to Symantec, there were an unprecedented eight witnesses testifying – including executind Mymantec and industry colleagues expressed strong opposition to the international Wassenaar cybersecurity export control, and urged the U.S. Government to renegotiate and narrow the definition at the upcoming annual meeting of Wassenaar nations.
The hearing, led by Subcommittee Chairs John Ratcliffe (R-TX) and Will Hurd (R-TX), along with Ranking Members Cedric Richmond (D-LA) and Robin Kelly (D-IL) focused on the detrimental economic and national security impacts of this new regulation. At the hearing, and in a rare showing of bipartisanship, every single Member of the Committees was sympathetic to our arguments that the regulation would harm cybersecurity.
In addition, at our urging, Congress has taken other actions including a bipartisan group of 125 Representatives sent a letter to President Obama’s National Security Advisor urging the Administration to send the export control rule back to Wassenaar to be renegotiated or heavily revised. We appreciate and support the U.S. Government’s proposal to eliminate controls on technology at the upcoming Wassenaar meeting. The hardware and software controls also should be eliminated as they would continue to hinder the ability of global companies to fully protect their own networks and customers and to stay ahead of future threats.
Vice President Cheri McGuire Discusses the Importance of IoT and Protecting Sensitive Data
Now is the right time to address the security gaps in the Internet of Things according to Cheri McGuire, . In an interview with the Indian Express, McGuire went on to note that there are numerous devices and applications being released and it is important to “ensure security and privacy are built in before [IoT] becomes ubiquitous like the Internet.” McGuire believes that it is easier and more efficient to build security technology into devices during the engineering phases instead of waiting until the device is released to the public.
McGuire also emphasized that insider threat protection is important, particularly after the Snowden revelations. Organizations have to be aware of “who has access to what data, keep logs, tag data to see if something is moving around.” People do not put a flash drive in the computer anymore, instead; individuals use wireless systems to transmit information. McGuire stated “that it does not matter which platform or device, as in the end it is about the data…and how the data is protected.”
Symantec is already the global leader in protecting IoT devices with more than a billion secured. And with IoT devices expected to top 25 billion by 2020, Symantec is leading the effort to protect consumers from hacks against their always-on, Internet connected devices. Symantec’s Internet of Things Reference Architecture provides a good starting point for securing the IoT.

(AllHipHop News) Run-DMC star Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons was "scared" about messing up the group's live reunion with Aerosmith at the Grammy Awards because he had no control over the performance.
Simmons and his surviving bandmate Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels were invited to be a part of the rockers' career-spanning set in January, joining forces with the MusiCares Person of the Year honorees to revisit their 1986 rap/rock classic, "Walk This Way."
"I was shook to my core...!" Simmons confessed on U.S. daytime show Strahan, Sara and Keke.
"When I first got the phone call, I was like, 'Oh my God, I haven't worked with them in years.' I was like, 'D, what are we gonna do?' He was like, 'Ah, don't worry, we'll just go and wing it.' I was like, 'Wing it? I got two weeks!'"
"I had to go to bed saying to myself over and over, 'You're not the only one gonna be on the stage...! You have one little part, you're gonna be Run.' But I couldn't get that in my head that I couldn't control everything, because I'm a control freak and a perfectionist.
"So I was scared up to the moment that I was out there with the mic and singing the song and I was like, 'OK, you can relax now.' But up to that moment, it was bad!"

This is a subspecification of the P3Pby the P3P Harmonized Vocabulary WG as part of the P3P Activity. While this document," The underlying concepts of the draft are fairly stable and we encourage the development of experimental implementations and prototypes so as to provide feedback on the specification. However, thP3P Specification [P3P] specifies an [XML] / [RDF] application that defines the structure, or grammar, of a P3P proposal. This document, the harmonized vocabulary, describes the terms that fit into the P3P grammar; this process is technically called the "semantic definition of an XML/RDF schema or vocabulary." For example, the P3P specification states that P3P statements must declare the purposes for which data are collected, this document specifies a list of six such purposes and their meaning.
Therefore, this document includes a base set of vocabulary elements useful for expressing privacy policies reflective of a diversity of privacy laws, self-regulatory norms, and cultural notions about privacy. This vocabulary can be used to express policies as diverse as anonymous browsing to the provision of personalized Web content and services. However, P3P implementations need not restrict themselves solely to vocabularies defined within this document.
Legal issues regarding law enforcement demands for information are not addressed by this document. It is possible that a service provider that otherwise abides by its proposal of not redistributing data to others may be required to do so by force of law.
To simplify practice declaration, service providers may aggregate any of the disclosures (purposes, recipients, and identifiable use) within a statement over data elements. Service providers MUST make such aggregations as an additive operation. For instance, a site that distributes your age to ours (ourselves and our agents), but distributes your zip code to published (unrelated third parties or public fora), MAY say they distribute your name and zip code to ours and published. Such a statement appears to distribute more data than actually happens.

Any disclosure is not meant to imply that access to all data is possible, but that some of the data may be accessible and that the user should communicate further with the service provider to determine what capabilities they have.

Unlike short-term rainfall warnings, these long-term warnings may or may not include thunderstorms. Often, when we see these heavy one- or two-day rainfall events, they are associated with one of two things, both being areas of low pressure. Either we see a slow-moving surface low move through, bringing multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms, or we see a slow-moving upper low that will typically bring a long period of steady rain. The one extra ‘ingredient’ that is brought into the mix, especially over western Alberta, is the upslope winds that can really enhance what would typically not be a heavy rain event.
This low, or series of lows, were slow moving or even stationary, and were able to tap into large amounts of moisture, both of which would have brought large amounts of rain on their own. Add the location of the low, which created a strong easterly flow of air that rose up along the mountains, and some regions ended up seeing truly epic amounts of rain and resultant flooding.
Luckily, these perfect conditions don’t come together very often but Alberta has, over the years, seen some big one-day dumps of rain. To try and put things into perspective I looked up some of the one-day rainfall records from across Alberta.

In 1917 enlistment rates were insufficient to meet the replacement requirements for battlefield casualties. For example, in April and May of 1917, Canada took 24,000 casualties as a result of the fighting, while only 11,000 men enlisted in the same period. In response, Borden and his cabinet attempted to enact conscription. It is important to put this within context, in 1917, most of the Entente leaders assumed that the war would go past 1918, with Borden assuming the war would go into 1919, as the collapse of the Russians on the eastern front would allow Germany to focus exclusively on the west.
Still unsure about his capacity to win the 1917 election and subsequently secure conscription, Borden conceived of the wartime elections act, wherein the female relatives of servicemen were temporarily given the right to vote in order to ensure the victory of the pro conscription government. With the onset of conscription in Canada, the anti-conscription sentiment in Quebec began to harden, with a number of major anti-war and anti-conscription newspapers such as Le Réveil and La Liberté being censored by the Borden government. The conscription crisis reached a fever pitch in the summer of 1917, with the anti-conscription newspapers being censored by the government after calls for labour strikes, runs on banks and revolution. Anglophone pro conscription papers in Montreal, such as the Montreal Star, received a number of death threats, with the publisher, Lord Atholstan having his home bombed with dynamite on August 9th.
When an election was called in 1917 to determine the conscription question, Borden won overwhelmingly. However, while he had dominated all of Anglo Canada, the conservatives were almost entirely removed from Quebec. This moment in 1917 is crucial because it marks the permanent alienation of Quebec from the Tories. Prior to 1917, there was a fairly even spread of Francophones on both sides of the aisle. In the election of 1911, Borden took 26 seats in Quebec with 44.1% of the popular vote, whilst liberals took 36 seats in Quebec with 44.6% of the popular vote. However, after 1917 Quebec became overwhelmingly liberal with the occasional exception of Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney’s initial victories. To the modern Canadian, it may be strange to conceive, but the natural ruling party of Canada in its initial founding was the Tories, John A. Macdonald inheriting the long extant Tory tradition established by his predecessors.
However, it is essential to note that Diefenbaker may have signified the final fall of Canadian conservatism, but he was by no means its origins. The death blow to the old conservative way was the passing of the 1917 Military Service Act. In his book, Canada in the Great Power Game, Gwynne Dyer discusses the degree to which the Conservatives alienated the Quebecois with this legislation. The Borden Unionist government composed of Anglo-Canadian MPs pushed conscription through parliament; in doing so, Borden divided the country in half, alienating French Canada from the rest of the nation. Borden’s alienation of Quebec would cede the reins of government to the liberals for the next 36 years. This period allowed for liberal domination of the Canadian institutions.
“… [and told him] that I did not believe that MR. Khruschev wocommunist system and its philosophy. . .This sentiment was echoed by Rear Admiral Jeffery Brock, then vice-chief of Naval Staff.
What does this mean, and why is this important? The answer is that 1917 caused a revolutionary change in Canada’s institutions of power. Prior to 1917, Canada was a conservative country. This was conservatism in the old sense of the word; Canada’s political elites were concerned primarily with stability and order. However, the conservatives and unionists under Borden destroyed themselves by prosecuting WWI, leaving the Liberals the levers of power in Canada for the next 36 years. As a result, the Liberals and their fellow continental apologists were able to gain control of all of the major Canadian institutions. They used this time in power to transform the landscape of Canadian power-politics. Hence when Diefenbaker stands up in opposition to Kennedy’s dictation of Canadian defence policy, the entire elite apparatus of Canada, revolutionized over the preceding decades, betrays him. The final defeat of Canadian conservative-nationalism in 1963 was made possible by its first defeat in 1917.

Electricity and magnetism, linear and nonlinear mechanics, optics, and computational physics are among the diverse physics skills needed in accelerator design and operation.
Accelerator systems require a variety of digital and analog electrical engineering skills. In particular there is a great need for engineers who can work with both low and high power radio frequency (rf) systems. Another area of need is high precision power supplies. Accelerator diagnostic systems require a mix of advanced analog systems and digital electronics.
Accelerators use advanced controls systems to monitor, model and control the hardware which influences the behavior of the particle beam. Needs exist for a range of software and hardware skills in designing and maintaining accelerator controls systems.
Increasingly important to accelerator development is the field of material science. Superconducting rf cavities are of great importance to accelerator developments. Surface properties, particularly of vacuum systems are also of interest.


There are also times when we welcome a final word, a word or event that turns the tide. Perhaps our side is losing, things are looking grim, then suddenly a higher power rules in our favor, or overturns an earlier decision, and what looked like a lost cause is suddenly turned on its ear. The good guys win, the couple live happily ever after, and we go home from the movie happy and full of popcorn.

A few weeks ago, I went to Columbus to visit one of my friends from college. I just happened to have the entire weekend off of work (which never happens) and I thought I'd spend it exploring a new city!
My friend, Lauren is a photographer like me, and took me all over the little towns surrounding Columbus, we went to a farmers market, an art festival, and antique shops. (We also had breakfast at Tiffany's, which I'm sure you saw in my earlier post!
I just love the feeling of being in a new place. Some place where nobody knows you. You are free to be yourself, and meet new people. Which you can do anywhere all the time, but it's so much easier in a new place. I met an Australian lady in the antique shop, and she saw my camera and told me that her daughter was into photography, so I got to meet her darling 12 year old daughter, and talked photography with her for 15 minutes. It was so random and spontaneous. I loved it!
I also took a bajillion photographs during my weekend. I could really see myself going to Columbus more often!Here is a collection of some of the very colorful photos I took while in Columbus!Enjoy!

Perilaku Fraud Detection Pada Auditor: Professional Skepticism, Whistleblowing, Integritas, Time Pressure
This study examines the effect of professional skepticism, whistleblowing, integrity and time pressure on fraud detection. This study uses primary data to collect information in a questionnaire distributed online via a google form. The sample in this study were auditors who worked at KAP in Jabodetabek with 70 respondents based on random sampling—testing the hypothesis ofindicates that professional skepticism does not affect fraud detection. Whistleblowing and integrity have a positive effect on fraud detection. Time pressure has a negative impact on fraud detection.


And, after a dreadful loss Friday night against Kansas City, you could be headed for your first losing season in 11 years as a head coach.
"Believe in the floaties," Saban said.
Huh? Not exactly "Win one for the Gipper," is it?
"Players have to play with confidence," Saban said. "I told the players a story about teaching your kids to swim. They fight and scream even when you hold them, because they're afraid of the water.
"You put two little floaties on their arms, and you can go sit on the side. You can't get them out of the water because they have confidence in what they're doing. They believe in the floaties. Well, we have to have confidence in what we're doing."
Alas, Miami's porous offensive line, budding quarterback controversy and injury-riddled secondary make confidence hard to come by. After Saban gave the floaties speech this week, the Dolphins (2-4) gave their worst effort yet in a 30-20 loss to the Chiefs.
With the game pushed up 42 hours because of Hurricane Wilma, the Chiefs arrived less than six hours before kickoff. But it was the Dolphins who looked jet-lagged, allowing a season-high 462 yards and controlling the ball for less than 19 minutes.
"The most disappointing thing to me is I don't think we showed improvement," Saban said.
Instead, the Dolphins are getting worse. Victories over Denver and Carolina in the first three weeks of the season now seem an aberration rather than an indication of a turnaround from last year's 4-12 fiasco.
The latest loss confirmed that quarterback A.J. Feeley wasn't the only problem in 2004. The Dolphins traded him Tuesday and still played lousy, inviting a renewal of last year's season-long quarterback debate.
Gus Frerotte went 11-for-29 for 125 yards against a Chiefs pass defense ranked 30th in the NFL. He was replaced with three minutes left by Sage Rosenfels, whose lone throw went 77 yards for a touchdown to Chris Chambers.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Saban said after the game. "The guy has thrown one pass.
Rosenfels, a fifth-year pro and a third-stringer at the start of training camp, shrugged off speculation he might become No. 1.
Rosenfels' touchdown pass was one of several big plays by the Dolphins. Ronnie Brown scored on a 65-yard run, and a 47-yard punt return and 34-yard reception by Wes Welker led to field goals.
But the offense failed to sustain anything.
Ricky Williams, playing his, carried six times for minus-1 yard. In two games he has gained 7 yards in 11 attempts, an average of 23 inches per carry.
"" Williams said. ""
Injuries are a growing concern. The already-struggling secondary lost cornerback Sam Madison (hip pointer) and safety Tebucky Jones (chest muscle) in the first half, and two other defensive starters limped to the sideline. Jones' injury appeared the most serious and potentially season-ending.
With his team reeling, Saban refuses to complain about the quality of talent he inherited from the Dave Wannstedt regime, and he insists the Dolphins are better than they've looked lately.
The Dolphins are sinking fast, with no floaties in sight.
TEXT:The Associated Press
MIAMI -- So, Nick Saban, your Miami Dolphins have endured three consecutive increasingly dismal defeats and you're headed back to Baton Rouge for a game against the New Orleans Saints.


This Hearts and Flowers Beaded Cork Pendant is a real stunner. The intricate detail in the heart shaped pendant is exquisite. The combination of the floral elements encased within the hearts with the merest hint of sparkle is simply beautiful.
The cork necklace is a pretty shade of pink cork that is wonderfully enhanced by the addition of the beautiful pink beads and contrasting silver coloured embellishments.
This fabulous, unusual piece oozes vintage style and sophistication and is a real style statement.
Heart pendant (including drop) 70.


Exchange 2010 (SP1): Pre-Deployment Tips
e blood, sweat, and tears of migrating a minimally maintained Exchange 2003 infrastructure to Exchange 2010 (and mid-way through, an upgrade to 2010 SP1). All of the docs out on the web for migrations make it seem soooo easy. But if you are going to do anything other than a single server install and are doing things like, oh say; hardware load balancing, Exchange 2003 co-existence, or working in an old multi-domain forest then you are in for some punishment. I think I ran into every possible issue that you can have with an Exchange 2010 migration. One guide that helped me in this endeavor was the r. This guide didn’t cover every aspect for me though, here are a few things that may save you a little bit of hassle. I’ve been meaning to publish this for a while and I have a whole lot more notes from this experience but this is a start.
1.) Ensure all Exchange servers have the right local administrators and are in the right active directory exchange groups.
Here are the AD security groups I would ensure are local admins on your exchange 2003 and 2010 servers:
Exchange Trusted Subsystem is going to be your #1 group to look for in ensuring exchange interoperability between your old 2003 servers and your shiny new Exchange 2010 servers. If you are not doing your own schema prep (aka, you are not the schema admin/enterprise admin) then triple check that replication between the domain you are upgrading to 2010 and those that are remaining as legacy 2003 servers are replicating properly. Even if your local domain shows that an exchange 2003 server in another domain is in the “Exchange Trusted Subsystem” group does not mean that it actually is from the remote domain’s viewpoint if replication is going awry.
2.) Don’t remove ExchangeSetupLogs Directory
I made the mistake of doing this and then when I had to reinstall a component ran into all kinds of issues. It isn’t that large of a directory so just leave it alone and you will be cool. As I mentioned before, you will break your powershell virtual directory if you remove then re-add components. Adding to that, if you experience any errors at all in your install but everything still seems to be working don’t expect to be able to reinstall components without hacking the registry to trick out the installer. You will get to a point in the component reinstallation where it will whine about a previous install going awry, you will then remove the registry settings which it is reading these settings from, then you go to install the components again and the installer will think a reboot is needed from running the prior time. I must have rebooted 20 times for one server that was misbehaving when trying to repair a component (I’m nothing if not persistent)
3.) Never Assume a Wizard will “Just Work”
4.) Don’t mess with the IPv6 settings
5.) Get Powerful with Powershell
New-RoutingGroupConnector -Name "RG Exchange 2003" -SourceTransportServers "labexch1.corp.contoso.com","labexch2.corp.contoso.com" -TargetTransportServers "exchexclus.corp.contoso.com"1. For the photo to be available offline we need to change the thumbnailPhoto from an Indicator to a Value attribute.
Set-OrganizationConfig –ReadTrackingEnabled $true
6.) Get Some Registry Love Too…
Well maybe this is me just being a bit snarky about one issue I ran into where people couldn’t upload attachments over 5mb after being migrated to Exchange 2010. But there are about three different places where you can set limits for e-mail size for an end user and all of them were over 5mb in my environment. I read a bit further into this and found out that “unlimited” actually means 5mb (huh?). Yup, the transport max send size was set to unlimited but until I manually changed it, nothing over 5mb would be accepted.
Change attachment upload limit in OWA from 5mb to 20mb
I already wrote up a quick guide to managing maintenance work on your Exchange 2010 DAG which you can read about in one of my prior entries. You also want to periodically check and see that your DAG replica database log indexes are not out of whack (with the commands later on in the post mentioned above).
I also noticed that in my multisite DAG that the failover clustering was set automatically to allow either site servers to own the IP address of the DAG. This is fine if you are stretching VLANs I suppose, but I am not. So I unchecked the availability to own IP addresses on each network resource for servers that do not have that network available. The setting in failover cluster administration is specifically in the advanced policies of each network IP resource.
Finally, you may want to increase the cross-subnet delay to reduce unnecessary DAG failovers on tenuous WAN links between your sites. This is actually done with a basic administrative cmd.exe prompt and a cluster.exe command:
If the time is off between your internal and your edge servers then the one way sync and other operations may start to fail or experience delays. I opted to have the edge servers sync with my internal servers and open the ntp port to allow them to do so through the firewall.
10.) Do Not Assume Permissions
When I started migrating user mailboxes I started getting errors like the following for some accounts:
FullyQualifiedErrorId : B959FFD311.) Microsoft Has Gotten A Bit More Stringent With Things
Get-Group | Where {$_.GroupType -Like "Global*" -AND $_.RecipientType -eq "MailNonUniversalGroup"} | Set-Group –Universal
$name = $dl.Name
$displayname = $dl.DisplayName
$samaccountname = $dl.samaccountname
write-host "Applying settings for:, $displayname, $name, $samaccountname, $alias, $email" -foreground "green"
Remove Spaces From Mailbox Aliases
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.Alias -match '\s+'} | ForEach-Object {Set-Mailbox $_.Name -Alias:($_.Alias -Replace " ","")}like '* 12.) Don’t Forget To Review Existing Dynamic Distribution Groups Prior to Migrating Any Mailboxes
Furthermore, if you were not the prior dynamic distribution group creator then you may not realize that the dynamic distro groups were created in weird and non-forward moving ways. In my case there were groups that referenced specific servers and were wildly off-base for the target audiences for which they were designed. Most companies rely on these groups for mass emails to their valued employees. Before you start migrating your users do yourself a favor and revisit the current dynamic distribution groups and recreate them as needed to be something worthy to be inherited by your next Exchange admin.
If you are upgrading from Exchange 2003 to 2010 then you need to convert your resource groups in a special way for them to work properly.
Set-Mailbox -Identity “mailbox name” -Type RoomSet-CalendarProcessing
“mailbox name” -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept
Bonus Tip: The outlook address book is really slow to update
Really slow… snail paced slow, honestly. As a basic reference keep in mind that Outlook takes approximately 24 hours to do a full offline address book download if Outlook is running continuously.
So if updating distribution group permissions (adding sendas permissions for example) do a full download of the address book in outlook clients running in cached mode. This also holds true for uploaded photo’s in the GAL for users. If someone asks me how long a photo will take to show up in Outlook 2010 I have learned to say “at least 3 days” and so should you. But if you want instant gratification you can manually update your OAB then have your users all manually download their address books. But that’s crazy talk. 🙂

Songbirds Shuffle: Amelinks love story told through a series of one-shots based on songs.
Then you Came One-shots: One-shots surrounding Amelia, Link, Christopher and the family they build.
After her appointment with Carina Amelia went home, alone.  The car ride was painfully silent so she turned on the radio but it didn’t help in the slightest. She missed him and there was no running away from it. She missed him and he was probably only 10 minutes away, a reality that was unbearable to say the least. She wanted him by her side, no she needed him by her side but she screwed up and she had no other choice but to wait it out. She just hoped she wouldn’t be waiting too long.
If she thought the car ride was unbearable she had no hope in surviving their bedroom. His clothes were all over the place, I mean he practically lived there. He really only went to his apartment when he needed a special shirt or to reference old textbooks and medical journals. She wondered what he was wearing, not in like creepy way but he definitely didn’t have a lot of choices back at his place. As she looked around ssleep surrounding by reminders of him but she had to at least try.
She stripped off her clothes and put on his old Mariners t-shirt, it was her favorite one and at the moment none of hers fit so she was wearing a lot of his. It was soft and it still smelled just like him despite her many uses and for some reason it was weirdly comforting. It was like he was still there by her side. She went to the bed only to find a note sitting on her pillow case, it must of been from before his accident. It read.
 I know this isn’t what we you and I can’t wait to meet our little peanut.in this room so she gathered up her blanket and headed down the hallway to Maggies room. “Maggie,” she quietly spoke not wanting to wake the kids “Maggie” she repeated a little louder when there was no response.
“Amelia, is everything okay?” Maggie questioned she opened the door only to be met with a red eye Amelia.
“No,” she breathed out Maggies question only causing Amelia to finally break, “Link left and I can’t sleep in that room” she began to explain but Maggie knew where this was going.
“Come in” she ushered Amelia in and helped her get into the bed. She kept on repeating “I got you” in attempts to calm her down, she couldn’t really tell If it was working. Once the two of the them were situated in the bed Amelia explained everything that happened and she just let all her emotions run out. Maggie didn’t talk at all, that’s not what Amelia needed right now, right now all she needed to do was vent.
“Can you text Link for me,” she finished up her story getting a very concerned look from Maggie, “I told him I would tell him how the appointment went and I don’t really trust myself texting him” she reached for her phone on the nightstand, “please,” she pleaded once last time giving Maggie the look that always made her break.
“Umm” she thought out for a second not wanting it to sound to attached or emotional. He just needed the facts. “Hey Link, the appointment went well. Peanut is as healthy as can be,” She told Maggie not knowing if it was too much, “Hows that?” She questioned.
“Well it better be good because it already sent” she tried to joke around, “can we please go to bed now?” she pleaded to Amelia who looked like she was winding down a bit.
Amelia woke up to a text from Link, well not woke up because that would imply that she had any sleep. The text was simple but it was stuck in Amelia head. It read.
 Link was glad that the two of them were good, the baby and her. I mean the rational part of her knew Link and she knew he would still care but the other side of her, the pregnant and emotional side, was stuck on those simple words. He still cared maybe she wouldn’t have to do too much waiting after all, she just had to figure out who the father was.
She had just finished up the test when she spotted Link, he was standing next to Jo and he didn’t look well. He must have not gotten any sleep either because bags seemed to make their home under his eyes. They weren’t laughing just talking, Link had said something about Alex being away so she assumed Link was staying with her.
Whatever they were talking about must not have painted Amelia in the best like because when she looked back Jo was staring at her, giving her the look. She took that as her sign to leave, deciding to check up on one of her patients before Link spotted her.
“Okay” Link simply stated as if it was a mundane task. There was hardly even a reaction in his face and Amelia couldn’t take the silence she was forming so she continued on.
“Okay,” silence again, “I’m all done so page me if you need me,” he finished looking towards Nico and then left, leaving Amelia alone once again, well alone surrounded by the OR staff. An OR staff that was trying to hide the fact they already knew what was going on.
Okay. Okay! Really that was all you could think off Link thought as he scrubbed out. He could have said a million different things. He could have said how he missed her, how he loved her, and how he regretted everything he said yesterday because all of it was true. He kept on replaying that moment trying to think of anything else he could have said but it was all blank. He wasn’t lying when he said he was scared she might go back to Owen, that option always seemed to be there and once he finally thought they had gotten past it all, she might be pregnant with his baby. He knew Owen would want to be in the picture and he was terrified that he would be pushed out so he did it for her, he left and he hated himself for it.
He always played it safe, he wasn’t uptight or anything but he never risked it when things really mattered, when his heart was on the line. This was a trait he always credited his parents for and right now it wasn’t protecting him, at this moment it was only causing damaging. Sure, there was a chance that Amelia would leave, a there chance that things won’t work out but Link was willing to risk it this time. He was willing to risk the potential pain if that meant he could have Amelia and their little family but he told her to take her time so all he could do was wait. Both of them now waiting for the other to make up there mind.
It was Friday when Amelia got the results back and she hadn’t seen Link since the day in the OR. Jo said he was taking some time off and Amelia honestly thought he just needed space so she gave it too him. But she nervous, completely and utterly nervous. She knew that these results would change her life completely. She hoped it was Links but she knew there was good chance it was Owens, and if it was Owens… it was Owens. She already chose Link and opening the results was proving to be quite difficult so she just stared at them, sitting down in the plant room all alone.
Link was spending his time off preparing his big gesture for Amelia. If he had any shot to be with her, he was going to go down swinging. So he had spent the last week fixing up the house. The house that would hopefully be theirs one day. He wanted to get her input on it first but the circumstances didn’t really allow for it so he just went in full force and the house was almost completely done, with the exception of some bedroom furniture and the finishing touches on the nursery. He really couldn’t wait to show Amelia. The truth was he missed her, putting the house together was just a flash of memories they would miss if he wasn’t her choice.
Today was his first day back and he was on mission to find her. He had to see her and tell her it didn’t matter, that he wanted her even if she didn’t want him back. He wanted to see her, to talk to her, to do everything with her, so he made his way to their place, the plant room.
When he got there that was he saw her.
“Do you want me to leave?” He asks knowing how worried she must be and he didn’t want to make it worse.
“No” she looks up at him before placing her palm on his “Please stay.” He stayed silent just giving her a slight nod to acknowledge her request. The two of them just staring down at the envelope. “Link, I’m scared” she admits “What if it’s Owens?” her voice shakes a little at the thought and Links heart breaks for her. He knew this must be killing her.
When they got to the house, Amelia was confused to say the least.
Story note: I know the events of this series don’t add up exactly, try to just focus on each miniseries as their own little universe.
93. Kissing in the rain and getting soaked.
89. Dancing in the rain.
his arm was thrown around her waist, and he was sleeping as if nothing was bothering him.
Amelia on the other hand was wide awake, awoken by the sound of pitter patter on the window. ￼￼ she looked at her side of the room, staring at the raindrops one by one. they fell perfectly, and Amelia was growing impatient.
she was awake, and she didn’t want to be alone. She turned in her boyfriends direction, and kissed his lips￼￼￼￼. Once. Twice. Three times, until his eyes fluttered open.
“Good morning.” She smiled, kissing him again in rejoice. She was glad he was awake.
“Amelia, it’s 3 AM. I wouldn’t dictate your ideas, but you have work, babe.” He mumbled, remaining in his sleepy state. ￼￼ he turned away from her, and Amelia was visibly upset. If only he could see her face.
she didn’t say anything else, instead she got up from the bed. ￼￼￼She walked straight outside in a pair of his boxers, her t-shirt, and felt the rain on her skin.
It was cold but she didn’t mind, until her boyfriend came outside. Link wrapped her inside a towel, but she shook it off of her shoulders.
“no.” She shrugged. “Baby, come on.” Amelia grabbed his arm, and pulled them into the freezing rain. If there’s one thing Link knew about her, was not to underestimate her sporadic ideas.￼ So, he wrapped his arms around her waist once they hit a stopping point, and she involved her’s around his neck.
She kissed his lips for what seemed like the thousandth time, and he smiled. “Dance with me.” Amelia told him. It wasn’t a command, but it was a statement.
Her boyfriend complied, and they began swaying in silence.
It was the sweetest voice, and his heart sunk deeper and deeper.
Every time she spoke, he realized just how much he loved her. ￼They could be doing anything, anytime, and she would light up the whole scene.
She was the brightest without trying, and he admired all of her.
Even the things that annoyed him.
He sung a song with a soft melody about love, because what the hell else would he do?
It was slow and perfect as they swayed to the music, and time slipped away from them.
He was so gentle and kind with her, and it made her feel as if she was the only girl in the world. he made her want to do cheesy things like dancing in the rain, and make out like highschoolers.
Though they were new to the term, they could definitely use it. They were in love.
The type of love where nothing else matters when you’re with your partner, and you are exactly that. Partners.
When the song ended, Amelia could barely spring up words mesmerized by his blue eyes.
usually link will tell her that her eyes are captivating, and that she could undo a man with one simple glare. Little did he know, he did the same for her.
she still couldn’t speak as he was looking straight into her irises, so she went in for the kill.
she kissed him, sweet and slow. They weren’t in a rush, and they would never be in a rush together. She groaned, feeling his warmth as he slid his tongue through her entrance. ￼￼￼￼￼￼ she smiled, and allowed it.
“The sky is falling.” Amelia ￼grinned, as they separated their lips for air.
he was about to place his lips back on his girlfriends, but Amelia stopped him. “what about the shifts?
Jo’s breathing slows and her sobs stifle. Link slowly releases her from his embrace.
“I don’t know what to say, Jo.” Link looks at her with soft eyes and a sympathetic expression. It’s not enough.
Jo walks past him, towards the counter where her untouched glass of wine sat.
“I couldn’t bring myself to drink it. I feel sick. Where else could he be? Dead in a ditch? I think someone would’ve told me. He has abandoned his life, his job, his friends. He just left; like it was nobody’s business.  She opens the box of donuts that Link brought over, taking out a powdered sugar.
Jo sighs, “I’m sorry Link. I know you have your Amelia situation. At least I know my husband doesn’t think I’m enough. You still don’t know if Amelia is carrying your baby or not, or even if she loves you.” Link follows Jo to the kitchen of the loft, drinking some of Jo’s wine.
 Just in October we got married, again. He promised me he wasn’t going to run. I’m better now. He was good, we were good. We wanted babies and forever. What happened?” Tears run down her cheeks, and Jo puts the donut down.
“Want to watch a crappy movie?” Link suggests.
“Yeah, whatever.” Jo says distantly.
Me: Grey’s is trash I will not watch it.


What is NDE:
There are some stories from people that have personal experiences for near death experience of almost dying or (NDE). In the earliest days the account recorded from Plato's The Republic(10.614-10.621). Base on the story Plato the great philosopher had describes a mythical soldier, telling of his near-death experience about an afterlife and reincarnation.

Great session today at the webinar. The archive of the session is now up in all of its Wimba glory. Feel free to go and check it out.
I really liked the discussion that came out of it, especially the response to questions about assessment of Web 2.0 tech in Academic Libraries. We’ve been thinking about doing an MS Library 2.0 Summit themed on Assessment for the Fall. Interested? What do you want to have numbers for? What is tricky to assess for you? Or do you already have a great 2.0 assessment program going? Maybe you could be one of our speakers! The normal structure of the conference is to have a keynote and then nine or so “Steal this Idea” speakers. These are just regular folks who’ve found something that works for them that they want to share. It’s been a huge success in the past, and we are trying to make it even more value-added and targeted this time around.


Sudoku is a Japanese game which is a logic-based, number-placement puzzle. In this game one has to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids all contains the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which has to be completely filled.
This game Sudoku teaches us a lot of things about life. God provides us this puzzle of life, which we have to fill. It has many levels, easy, medium, hard, hardest. Sometimes we are given the levels and sometimes we ourself make or choose it. It can be filled in many ways from any number but in the end it has just one aim that is it has to be completely filed similarly we can live our life at any level, in any way but it is has to be lived completely/ fully.
It teaches us that as every puzzle has a solution, similarly however hardest problem/situation we face in life, it thus have a solution. Only what is needed is that we instead of focusing on the problem try to focus on the ways and means to get the solution of it. It may take time, but one needs to think about the solution with full concentration, focus, patience and belief. In some hardest situations of life we may have to take option, use hit and trial method (risk/help). Like in Sudoku, till we easily get the number to be filled in box, we are happy, confident but the real challenge comes when we are stuck up (adverse situation of life). That is the real challenge, what we do then. Do we take help, cheat, look around, throw it away, ignore, we feel angry, upset/hopeless, many times we just keep on looking at the numbers filled up (past incidents) and try to find out that where have we gone wrong. If we catch hold of the number (mistake) that we have filled wrong, then we can correct it , if just few numbers are filled incorrectly. But sometimes we might have filled majority of the numbers wrong, then instead of correcting it, repenting it, we must set for a new Sudoku (new beginning of life).
Manytimes when we cross check (analyze past events) and realize that we have not filled any number wrong (done anything wrong) yet we are not getting the desired results (unjustice) then we might be so angry and so frustrated by not getting the solution (just/fair treatment) that we might just give it up. The easy thing is to give up but the hardest thing is to solve it. It may take time, test your patience but if you have determination/will power to solve it then eventually one will succeed and the satisfaction, happiness, pride, energy that one feels and gets is unmatchable when one fills up the hardest Sudoku or when one sails through the hardest situation of life. It is that moment, the moment of giving it up and the moment of getting oneself calm/composed/ rejuvenated that makes the difference. For quitters never win and winners never quit.
While solving the hardest Sudoku (goal/aim/passion/dream) many times your family members, colleagues, elders, friends, acquaintances etc will distract you , will tell you just leave it, don’t act as a fool, don’t waste your time, what will you get by solving it. They might also gossip about you. But one has to be deaf to it. For the moment one achieves something that seemed hard/impossible in the beginning then it the same people who obstructed you from doing it will praise you “Ho gaya !!! wah wah very good”. Some might also get interested and might also like to learn from you (inspiration for others).
So keep playing the Sudoku of your life, with full confidence, passion, dedication, perseverance, patience, fill it up with all numbers of dreams, happiness, prosperity, love, enjoyment for your life Sudoku should not be left unfilled, no matter how hard it might seem, it still has a solution.

Ben E. Keith eyes Houston expansion

A Fort Worth food and beverage distributor aims to make a fresh delivery in the Houston market.
Ben E. Keith has requested a tax abatement package for development of the company's first Houston area distribution warehouse, to be built on 82 acres purchased earlier this year.
The 101-year-old privately held firmwants a piece of the action on the home turf of two heavyweight Houston competitors.
Sysco Corp. (NYSE: SYY) ranks as the No. 1 food service supplier in North America with 190 distribution centers serving more than 400,000 customers. Sysco, which also has a presence in Dallas-Fort Worth, posted annual sales of $35 billion for fiscal year 2007 that ended June 30. For the same time period, the company had net earnings of $1 billion.
Houston-based Silver Eagle Distributors LP took over the title as largest Anheuser-Busch distributor in the nation on Aug. 1. It is the No. 1 beer distributor in the Houston area and fourth-largest in the country. The 45-year-old firm services more than 10,000 retail establishments.
Privately held Ben E. Keith, meanwhile, sells food, paper goods and equipmental businesses. The company has six distribution centers serving more than 14,000 customers in 10 states. Ben E. Keith also is o -- delivering beer to 60 Texas counties.
Economic development folks are working hard to make the Houston area deal happen.
Barkley P was impressed by a tour of Ben E. Keith's facility in Fort Worth. He says the efficient facility gave him some insight into what a Missouri City plant might look like.
"They want to be in this region," Peschel says. "We want them to be herHouston-area customers currently are served by Ben E. Keith distribution centers in San Antonio and Fort Worth.
The company spent a year scouting out roughly 15 area sites before acquiring 82 acres in Beltway Crossing, says Jude Filippone of Transwestern, who represented Ben E. Keith in its land acquisition.
"They decided on that site because of accessibility to Beltway 8," he says. "Once they decided to move forward, they acted fast."
Craig Woodcook, an attorney with Ben E. Keith, confirms the land purchase, but would not give specifics on size and scope of the proposed development.
Woodcock says the company will furnish details after negotiating a tax abatement package with Missouri City, Fort Bend County and the water district.

D do.
We are of course referring to the BBC's f judging on Strictly Come Dancing. Although I do harbour reservations about Craig Revel Horwood - darling.
It's widely accepted that the BBC didn't have an especially good independence referendum campaign as a significant number of Yes activists, were of the opinion that the BBC pursued a deliberate pro-Union agenda.
