This document provides instructions on troubleshooting subscriber addition and import problems in Cisco Unity versions 2.4.x, 3.x, and 4.x using Microsoft Exchange and Domino (in Cisco Unity 4.x only). In addition, an overview that details the mechanics of the subscriber addition and import process, and a list of common problems and solutions are presented that pertain to:
Adding new subscribers through the Cisco Unity System Administrator (SA).
Importing existing Exchange users into Cisco Unity through the Cisco Unity SA.
Importing existing Exchange users into Cisco Unity using the Cisco Unity Import tool.
Importing subscribers from a CSV file using the Cisco Unity Import tool.
In Cisco Unity version 2.4.x and earlier, Exchange 5.5 was used as the message store for the voice messages and also as the database store to store all the settings for the voice mail subscribers. Custom attributes 11 through 15 and the raw properties starting with "Voice-" were used to configure the Cisco Unity subscriber. But, all these raw properties were not sufficient to create a voice mail subscriber. Therefore, the creation of another object to store the rest of the settings was necessary in order to create a voice mail subscriber. This is why, when a subscriber is created in Cisco Unity, a few settings are entered under the subscriber's schema and then a call handler associated to that subscriber is created. This process was limited in creating more settings as Cisco Unity was including more features in newer versions. This is the reason for the database store being moved to SQL, so that the Cisco Unity database could be expanded with all the attributes to the extent necessary.
This is a behind the scenes process involved with creating and importing a user from the SA.
A copy is made of the mail user template specified as well as its corresponding call handler, taking with it the default information supplied in the template (contact rules, call transfer, and so forth). The result is a mail user object and a corresponding call handler.
The new mail user and call handler are populated with the unique information specified during the initial creation process (extension, alias, first name, last name, and so forth).
A check is run in order to make sure all the unique information does not already exist in the directory.
SA communicates with the DOH (Database Object Hierarchy layer of Cisco Unity).
The DOH negotiates with the directory. Once the user is created in the directory, a unique identifier is passed back to the DOH, which is written to SQL in Cisco Unity versions 3.x and 4.x. In the Exchange 5.5 schema in Cisco Unity version 2.4.x, when a subscriber is imported, the DOH negotiates with the directory. However, instead of waiting for a unique identifier to be passed back, the DOH binds to the existing user that you import.
Note: Information about Mail User Templates for Cisco Unity 4.x can be found in the documentation for Subscriber Template Settings. This information is very similar to Cisco Unity 3.x and 2.4.x. Refer to the correct Cisco Unity version document if not applicable.
This procedure explains the behind the scenes process used to create or import an existing Exchange user using the Cisco Unity Import tool.
A copy is made of the mail user template specified as well as its corresponding call handler, taking with it the default information supplied in the template (contact rules, call transfer, and so forth). The result is a mail user object and a corresponding call handler.
The new mail user and call handler are populated with the unique information specified during the initial creation process (extension, alias, first name, last name, and so forth).
A check is run to make sure all the unique information does not already exist in the directory.
The Cisco Unity Import Tool writes all the information directly to SQL in Cisco Unity versions 3.x and 4.x, or in the Exchange 5.5 schema in Cisco Unity version 2.4.x.
The Cisco Unity Import Tool calls the Sqlsyncsvr to sync the new changes in SQL with the directory.
Note: Information about Mail User Templates for Cisco Unity 4.x can be found in the Subscriber Template Settings documentation. This information is very similar to Cisco Unity 3.x and 2.4.x. Refer to the correct Cisco Unity version documentation if not applicable.
The procedure used to import user data from a CSV file can be found in the Creating Subscriber Accounts documentation.
CSV headers vary from Cisco Unity version to Cisco Unity version. For example, in Cisco Unity 4.x there is a field to import Visual Messaging Interface (VMI) email addresses using the VMI_TEXT_SMTP_ADDRESS column header in the Bulk Import tool. However, this value was not available in the 3.x version of that tool. These are the links for the CSV headers for each version of Cisco Unity.
For Cisco Unity 4.x:
For Cisco Unity 3.x:
For Cisco Unity 2.4x:
Refer to the Cisco Unity Administration Guide and perform a search for CSV.
This series of screen shots shows the standard Default Subscriber Template in the SA and its location in the DOH.
Default Subscriber Template in the SA
Default Subscriber Call Handler Location in the DOH
Default Mail User Template Location in the DOH
Note: In the picture of the Default Mail User Template, the AVP_CALLHANDLER_OBEJCT_ID corresponds to the Default Subscriber Call Handler object in the DOH. All mail users and mail user templates have a corresponding call handler associated with them.
When a voice mail subscriber is created in Cisco Unity, an email account in Exchange 5.5 or an Active Directory account with email enabled in Exchange 2000 (in the case of importing) is used or created to enter a series of voice mail properties in the schema of that email account. Also, a call handler object (created as an Exchange 5.5 object under the Cisco Unity folder in Cisco Unity version 2.4 or created as a record in a different SQL table in Cisco Unity 3.x and 4.x) is created for that subscriber. This call handler is associated to this subscriber and contains the rest of the voice mail properties such as audio volume, and so forth.
There are a lot of elements that take place in creating and importing a user into Cisco Unity. When there is a problem with creating and importing subscribers, it is a good idea to focus on what can be failing or wrong with the process of creating and importing a user into Cisco Unity.
Try different tools.
System Administration (SA). Local or at a remote computer.
Search in the application event log for error messages if one or both of the tools that you use in order to create/import a subscriber fails.
In order to narrow down problems when you import subscribers, it is a good idea to test importing users into Cisco Unity through the Unity SA and also with the use of the Cisco Unity Import tool. This way, you can verify if the problem is with the SA, with the Import tool, or a system-wide problem not related to the specific tool that you are using to import subscribers. For more information about creating subscribers, refer to Creating Subscriber Accounts.
Also refer to About the Accounts That Can Be Used to Administer Cisco Unity from the Accessing the Cisco Unity Administrator documentation.
Permissions of the Directory Service account for Cisco Unity - It is a good idea to run the Permissions Wizard for the specific Cisco Unity version and Message Store that you have implemented in your system. The Directory Service account is the account that AVDSAD and AvDsGlobalCatalog run as. If you have Exchange 2000, you should have the correct rights and permissions under the common OU that contains all the subscribers that you want to import. This is described under the section of the Exchange 2000 scope in the directory.
The permissions or settings for the accounts that can be used to administer Cisco Unity - Check the About the Accounts That Can Be Used to Administer Cisco Unity document in the System Administration guide for Cisco Unity 4.0. The same document can be applied for the rest of the Cisco Unity/Message Store combinations.
In Domino, you need these rights:
For the domain directory database, you need Editor with Delete document rights for the name.nsf file. In order to check these rights, go to the Domino server, open the Administrator program for Domino with an Id that has manager access and click on Files. Select name.nsf, right-click on it, and select Manage ACL. A screen similar to this appears.
For the Administration Process, you need Editor rights on Admin4.nsf. In order to check these rights, from the Domino server open the Administrator program for Domino with an Id that has manager access and click on Files. Select Admin4.nsf, right-click on it, and select Manage ACL. A screen similar to this appears.
Replication changes in Active Directory can take up to 15 minutes even after replication is forced. When you have problems with replication, verify that the Cisco Unity registries that point to the Domain Controller are correct.
If the Cisco Unity system is E2K connected, verify that the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveVoice\DirectoryConnectors\DirSynchAD\1.00\Domains\{your domain}\DefaultDomainController key is set correctly and points toward a valid DC.
For Cisco Unity 3.x and later with Exchange 5.5, look in the HKLM\Software\ActiveVoice\Directory Connectors\AvDirMonExchange55\1.0 key and subkeys for the configuration.
Cisco Unity 2.4.x does not have a directory connector. The Cisco Unity database and possible subscribers to be imported are stored in the cache from Exchange 5.5. (If this is the case, the troubleshooting has to be focused on Exchange 5.5 and authentication). Troubleshoot the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveVoice\Dalex\1.00\ registry and make sure that the values for this registry are correct. The complete Domain information is under the \Server\Root should have the value of the DefaultDomainController registry folder.
If there is a problem importing or creating Cisco Unity subscribers, check these items in order to make sure that the subscriber is importable.
Check the user template.
In order to import, the user has to have an email account in Exchange 5.5 with the raw property "Allow rich text" set to 1. Or, the user can have an Active Directory that has email enabled in Exchange 2000. In the case of Domino, you can only import users from Domino into Cisco Unity. Therefore the user has to have an email account in the Domino server. In order to be able to import a subscriber, this subscriber cannot belong to any other Cisco Unity. If the subscriber already has Cisco Unity properties in his/her schema, then your Cisco Unity will not be able to manage this subscriber. Refer to Clean a Subscriber from Cisco Unity Properties if this is your case. Check if the subscriber that you are trying to import has Cisco Unity properties every time that you try to import it. Importing a subscriber does not work if those properties are there.
If importing/creating a Cisco Unity subscriber fails in the middle of this process, Cisco Unity has already created two records for that subscriber in the Cisco Unity SQL database. These two records need to be deleted manually in order to be able to import the subscriber again.
If you are unable to import some users, you might need to delete the subscribers' properties. Complete these steps:
Go to C:\CommServer\Utilities\RemoveSubscriberProperties.
Open the RemoveSubscribersProperties tool.
Search for the user that has the problem.
Right-click on the user and choose Remove Subscriber Properties. This option greys out if the subscribers do not have properities.
Note: Ensure the Cisco Unity and Active Directory are synchornized. If not, use DOHProp test in order to resynchronize.
Once the properties are deleted, you should be able to import the subscribers using Exchange.
Scope for Importing Cisco Unity Users from a Mixed Environment with Exchange 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
When you try to import users from existing Exchange 5.5 servers, only the users that reside in the site that Cisco Unity is installed in are offered the Cisco Unity Import Utility.
It is prohibited to import users from an Exchange server that are not a member of the site that Cisco Unity is installed in. Exchange servers connected through a site connector are not accessible because of the Unity architecture. This is expected behavior. By design, all the Exchange servers in a site communicate with remote-procedure call (RPC), which is a faster communication method than Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) which is what Exchanges from different sites use to communicate with each other. When Cisco Unity tries to access a voice mail through the phone, you need to create an RPC connection through a Messaging Application Programmer Interface (MAPI) in order to access the voice message and play it to the user over the phone.
You can change the scope inside of the Exchange 5.5 site by using the Advance Setting tool, which you can download from the Cisco Unity Tools site.
From Advanced Tools, set the directory scope to the site instead of recipients container as shown in this output:
HKLM\Software\Active Voice\DALex\1.0\MailUsers\ STRING: Root
By default, this key looks something like cn=recipients;ou=<Site Name> ;o=<Organization Name>. If you remove cn=recipients; from the beginning, it starts to search for subscribers from the top level down for users in the system instead of starting with the recipients container. This can be done for sites that choose to have their various recipients' containers to be "peers" to the recipients container instead of under it. This gets around that problem. There is a slight performance hit with this.
When you try to import users from existing Exchange 2000 servers, you need to consider having the proper rights and permissions on the common OU that is going to nest the rest of the OUs where your subscribers are going to reside (you can go all the way up to the domain.).
The Permissions Wizard that you can find at the Cisco Unity Tools site ensures the directory facing account has the rights necessary to import users from the selected root container all the way down. However, you still need to set the start of the lookup scope. This can be done in DOHPropTest by changing the setting under AV Monitor > Mail_User_Search_Root to point to the domain or the common OU that is going to nest the rest of the OUs. It can also be done through the registry by changing the registry key named ROOT to empty if you want to point to the domain or cn= <a different OU> .
In a mixed environment with different versions of Exchange, Cisco Unity points to one of the Exchange 2000 servers, and the importing or creating subscriber is handled by the Exchange 2000 server that it points to. The scope is handled as an Exchange 2000 environment.
In a Domino environment Cisco Unity points to the Domino server and there is only one directory to import from.
In order to import a subscriber, you have to make sure that those properties tagging a Cisco Unity subscriber as a Cisco Unity subscriber are not there by mistake. For example, if a Cisco Unity server is removed from the network without properly uninstalling it, this user is still "tagged" as a Unity subscriber and a subsequent installation of Cisco Unity is unable to import that user as subscriber again. In order to uninstall Cisco Unity from your site, you need to use the Uninstall procedure described in the Cisco Unity Tools site. Another example is if you have problems trying to import a subscriber and the subscriber is only created half-way. This is when a problem can occur. These properties are deleted by default when you click Delete at the Administration page in Cisco Unity (SA).
Note: For information on how to run the Cisco Unity Uninstall utility, refer to the Uninstall utility Read Me file associated with your Unity software. If you go ahead and reformat and reinstall Cisco Unity, it will not be uninstalled from your site and will leave behind properties in the schema such as the voice mail users properties. In such cases, it is necessary to clean the user of these properties before you can import them again into a new or current Cisco Unity installation.
When reinstalling Cisco Unity software, it is common to forget to run the Uninstall utility. The Uninstall utility deletes, among other things, the custom properties that Cisco Unity populates in the Exchange Subscriber in order to create a Unity subscriber. If this utility is not run before Unity is reinstalled (to replace existing Unity software and its subscribers) the most recently installed Cisco Unity software is unable to administer or reimport existing subscribers because these subscribers contain custom properties that point to the Unity software that has been replaced. This statement is true for all the versions of Cisco Unity working with any version of Exchange or Domino in Cisco Unity 4.x.
One of the easiest ways to identify this problem, after noticing the above symptom, is to check the custom properties for the failing subscribers:
For Cisco Unity 3.0 and later:
Use either adsiedit.msc (Exchange 2000) or Exchange Admin in raw mode (Exchange 5.5) to verify that the users have values for the location object ID.
For Domino, go to the Domino Server.
Go to the Administrator tool for Domino by selecting Start > Programs > Lotus Application > Lotus Administrator.
Select the People and Groups tab and click People.
Select Subscriber.
Click on the File menu and select Document Properties.
From the Fields tab you will see the Cisco Unity properties starting with AVP_ as shown in the following screen.
For Cisco Unity version 2.4.6 and earlier:
Use the Exchange Admin in Raw mode (Exchange 5.5) to verify that the users have values for custom properties 11 through 15 and also for all of the Raw properties starting with Voice.
The solution is to delete all remaining Cisco Unity properties from the previous Cisco Unity installation from the subscribers, while leaving the Exchange subscriber alone. The messages will be kept in each Exchange subscriber's in-box. These subscribers are re-created in Cisco Unity. All of their settings and greetings are also re-created, and not retained.
Caution: Instructions for deleting the properties for the affected subscribers are described below. Incorrectly following these steps could result in lost data or messages. Try this procedure on a test system until you are comfortable with this process.
There are two ways to remove the Cisco Unity attributes from the Exchange 2000 account. You should always first try the utility "Remove Subscriber Properties" if possible. You can use the ADSIEdit utility only if you have problems using the first utility.
Use the following procedure to remove subscriber properties.
Logon to the Cisco Unity server with a user account that has domain administrative privileges.
Launch the Remove Subscriber Properties utility from the Tools Depot on the Cisco Unity server desktop. You can also use the folder <drive>:\CommServer\Utilities\RemoveSubscriberProperties\RemoveSubscriberProperties.exe (assuming you have installed Cisco Unity on your C drive).
Highlight the container where the users are located (for example, C).
From the right pane, select the user that you have trouble importing (you should see a LocationId associated with this user).
Right-click and choose Remove Subscriber Properties.
Confirm the removal by clicking Yes.
There should now be no LocationId associated to this subscriber and this subscriber is now available to be imported into a Cisco Unity subscriber. If the LocationId still exists, then the user logged on to the Cisco Unity server does not have enough privileges. Try with a different user, preferably the Domain Administrator.
Follow the procedure below.
Ensure that the ADSIEdit utility is installed on the Cisco Unity system.
For Cisco Unity 3.0x (ADSIEdit utility included in the Windows 2000 server CD):
To install the ADSIEdit utility on your system, install the support tools from the Windows 2000 CD located at <CD drive>:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\setup.exe.
Copy adsiedit.exe and adsiedit.dll into a folder on the Cisco Unity system. The folder should be named c:\adsiedit\.
Register adsiedit.dll by running regsvr32.exe c:\adsi\adsiedit.dll after the c:\winnt\system32 command prompt.
Install the ADSIEdit.dll by typing the following command at the command prompt:
C:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 c:\commserver\techtools\adsiedit.dll
You will receive a response window reading:
DllRegiserServer in c:\commserver\techtools\adsiedit.dll succeeded
Once ADSIEdit is installed, double-click adsiedit.msc to open it and press OK for a valid username and password.
Expand the folders to find the location of the users.
The users are most likely located in the Domain NC [...] >...> CN=Users.
Select the subscriber that you want to delete from the previous Cisco Unity database.
The subscriber will show up as CN=1st Name Last Name.
Right-click on the selected subscriber and choose Properties.
Select which properties should be set to Optional.
From the Select which Property to View list, select ciscoEcsbuUMLocationObjectId.
Click the Clear button.
Values will be dimmed with a value of not set.
Click Apply and close this subscriber's Properties window.
Navigate backward to the Domain NC [...] folder.
Right-click the folder and select Update Schema Now.
Right-click again on the Domain NC […] folder and select Refresh.
You should now be able to import this Exchange subscriber into the new Cisco Unity software.
Follow the procedure below.
Open the Exchange Administrator in raw mode by selecting Start > Run and click the Browse button.
Browse to the drive where Exchange is installed, browse to the bin directory, and select admin.exe.
Click Open to open the complete path to \bin\admin.exe.
Add space – r to the end of the text line.
…\bin\admin.exe –r
Go to the Recipients container for the site in Exchange and select the affected subscriber.
Select File > Raw Properties.
After loading the schema, the Raw Properties window appears.
Under List Attributes, select Existing.
Select Custom Attribute 12 and then click Remove until the field is empty.
Note: An edit value and attribute value is dimmed. Click Remove until the attribute value is empty.
Repeat step 8 for Custom Attribute 14 and Voice-Mail-UserID.
Make sure the attribute "Allow rich text" is set to 1.
After replication, this subscriber is available to be imported into a Cisco Unity subscriber.
Note: Technically, you only need to delete Attribute 12, but Attribute 14 is a workaround for Cisco bug ID CSCdu80561 (registered customers only) .
Follow the procedure below.
Open the Exchange Administrator in raw mode by selecting Start > Run and clicking the Browse button.
Browse to the drive where Exchange is installed, browse to the bin directory, and select admin.exe.
Click Open to open the complete path to \bin\admin.exe.
Add space – r to the end of the text line.
For example, …\bin\admin.exe –r
Go to the Recipients container for the site in Exchange and select the affected subscriber.
Select File > Raw Properties.
After loading the schema, the Raw Properties window appears.
Under List Attributes, select Existing.
Select Custom Attribute 12, then click Remove until the field is empty.
Note: An edit value and attribute value is dimmed. Click Remove until the attribute value is empty.
Repeat step 8 for the following attributes:
Custom Attribute 13
Custom Attribute 14
Custom Attribute 15
Ensure that the "Allow rich text" attribute is set to 1.
After replication, this subscriber is available to be imported into a Cicso Unity subscriber.
There will be cases where it is necessary to clean the user notes of these properties before you can import them again into a new Cisco Unity installation. To do this you need to install an agent that allows this action. The Misc Unity Design Elements.NTF template contains an agent named "Mark Subscriber Not Imported in Unity" that performs this task for you. To install this agent make sure the Lotus designer is installed on the Domino server.
Use the following procedure to clean Cisco Unity properties from a Cisco Unity 4.x subscriber with Domino.
Start the Lotus Designer Application on the Domino Server that Cisco Unity connects to and open the public names.nsf file from the Domino server by selecting File > Database > Open.
Download it from http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/RemoveUnityPropertiesFromNotes.exe.
Once the address book is open, open the template file Misc Unity Design Elements.NTF.
Copy the Agent from the template file by right-clicking on the file and selecting Copy.
Paste it to the names.nsf agent section.
You should now have a new agent listed.
Once the agent is copied, a new menu item in the Actions drop-down menu called "Mark Subscriber Not Imported in Unity" appears in the Domino Administration tool as shown in the following screen.
You can now select any user in the address book and clean their Cisco Unity properties. However, exercise caution, because if you delete Cisco Unity properties off of a valid subscriber on a Unity server, they will need to be reimported and rebuilt from scratch.
When Cisco Unity starts creating the subscriber, two records are entered in the SQL database. If Cisco Unity fails to complete the creation or importing of the subscriber, these two records are left behind and cause problems like not being able to access the voice mail box. Deleting also fails. In addition, when you try to create or import a subscriber with the same extension, you will receive an error saying that the extension already exists in the Cisco Unity database. Unfortunately, Directory Walker from the Cisco Unity Tools page does fix or delete these records. It must be done manually.
Note: There is no way to find who deleted a user from the Unity System Administrator page.
Use the following procedure to delete the subscriber records from SQL.
From the Unity server, select Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager. (If you have MSDE and Enterprise Manager is not installed, please install Enterprise Manager by following the instructions in the Cisco Unity 3.1.5 Installation Guide.
Expand the Database until you find the Subscribers and Callhandlers tables.
Right-click on the Callhandlers table, and select Open Table > Query as in the following screen.
Configure your query (as seen in the following image) to search the subscriber that you are trying to delete from the Cisco Unity SQL database.
In the following example, the search is for a subscriber with the DTMF 99999.
Select the entire record and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the Subscribers table.
This section discusses examples and solutions of the most commonly found issues with adding/importing new subscribers in Cisco Unity. If none of the scenarios listed below applies to your situation, please gather as much information as possible by following the generic troubleshooting steps and try to relate that information with the error messages in the event log.
The most common error encountered when adding a new subscriber is "An Unrecognized Error has occurred."
In Cisco Unity 4.x, you may see a variation of this error that includes a hexadecimal error code (the hexadecimal error you receive may vary and does not have to match the screen shot below, this is only an example.).
Improvements are being made to report a more accurate error statement, but for now, this error is by far the most common. The next several sections are scenarios and solutions for a variety of causes for this error.
When trying to add or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "An Unrecognized Error has occurred" error. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added" error.
A default object the SA is expecting to access no longer exist in the database.
Check the DOH to make sure the following objects exist.
The following constitute the most common missing objects. Please note that there can be other scenarios.
The MailUser Template that you are attempting to import with (for example, Default Subscriber).
In the Mail User template, verify the avp_callhandler_object_id contains a valid call handler.
The CallHandler object specified in the avp_administrator_object_id exists in CallHandlers.
If any of these properties is missing, see the Repair Default Objects section of this document.
When trying to add a new subscriber, or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "An Unrecognized Error has occurred." error. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added." error.
Use the following procedure.
In Windows 2000, from the Local Security Settings tree, click Account Policies > Password Policy to disable the setting Passwords must meet complexity requirements.
This is necessary because when Cisco Unity creates a new subscriber, it also creates a new user account for that user. By default, it sets the new account password to 12345678. If the complexity requirements are checked in Windows 2000, then the operating system does not allow Cisco Unity to complete the addition of that user using the simple password of 12345678 and the process fails.
Note: You may need to make this change on the Domain Controller depending on the Cisco Unity configuration.
This section of this document explains how to fix the problem that occurs when trying to import an Exchange subscriber into Cisco Unity from the System Attendant and the Domain Name field to select the subscriber to import is empty. The Default Global Catalog setting in the Cisco Unity registry is not dynamic. This means that if the customer changes the role of the Global Catalog server in their network (demoting the Global Catalog Server to any other domain controller role) or the Global Catalog server is not available (the Global Catalog is replaced with another server or the name of the Global Catalog server is changed), the ability to import an Exchange subscriber into Cisco Unity from the System Attendant is affected. Cisco Unity will be up and running and taking calls as normal, but you will not be able to import subscribers because the Domain Name field will be empty or the list of Exchange servers to import subscribers from will be empty.
For more information, refer to Cisco bug ID CSCdw14838 (registered customers only) - GC Monitor fails to monitor changes if the Global Catalog server moves.
This solution applies to Cisco Unity 3.x and 4.x in a Windows 2000 Box with Exchange 2000 (On and Off Box) in a Windows 2000 domain.
The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.
To make the change manually, you need to go to the registry. Expand the key HKLM/ Software/Active Voice/DirectoryConnectors/DirSynchGlobalCatalog/1.00/Directory. You will see a key called DefaultGlobalCatalogServer. Change it to point to the new Global Catalog server and make sure you enter a fully qualified domain name, such as "mycomputer.mydomain.com."
To change this setting, perform the following steps:
Start Regedit.
Caution: Changing the wrong registry key or entering an incorrect value can cause the server to malfunction. Before you edit the registry, confirm that you know how to restore it if a problem occurs. (Refer to the "Restoring" topics in Registry Editor Help.)
Note: A typical backup of the Cisco Unity server does not back up the registry. Also note that for Cisco Unity failover, registry changes on one Cisco Unity server must be made manually on the other Cisco Unity server, because registry changes are not replicated. If you have any questions about changing registry key settings, contact Cisco Technical Support.
If you do not have a current backup of the registry, select Registry > Export Registry File and save the registry settings to a file.
Expand the key HKLM\Software\Active Voice\DirectoryConnectors\DirSynchGlobalCatalog\1.00\Directory.
Change the DefaultGlobalCatalogServer key to point to the new Global Catalog server by entering a fully qualified domain name such as "mycomputer.mydomain.com."
Note: You do not need to restart the Cisco Unity system.
To verify that the server the above registry is pointing to is a Global Catalog server, use the following procedure.
On one of the domains, start the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in by selecting Start > Programs > Administrative Tools and clicking Active Directory Sites and Services.
In the console tree, double-click Sites and then double-click Sitename.
Double-click Servers and then click the domain controller that corresponds to the Default Global Catalog value in the Cisco Unity server registry.
Right-click NTDS Settings and select Properties.
From the General tab, determine if you want to check the Global Catalog check box to assign the role of the Global Catalog to this server or not.
Note: By default, Windows 2000 only places a Global Catalog on the first Domain Controller in each Active Directory (AD) forest. Allow sufficient time for the account and the schema information to replicate to the new Global Catalog server before you remove the Global Catalog from the original domain controller.
Note: Event 1119 may be logged in the Directory Services log in Event Viewer with a description that states the computer is now advertising itself as a Global Catalog server. In a Windows 2000 domain with only one domain controller, you typically assign the roles of the Global Catalog and the Operations Master (also known as Flexible Single-master Operations (FSMO)) to the same domain controller. However, in domains with multiple domain controllers, particularly in forests with multiple domains, it is important to consider the placement of these roles before you assign them.
When trying to add a new subscriber, or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the An Unrecognized Error has occurred 0x8007200F. error message. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added." error.
The registry setting on Cisco Unity is pointing to the wrong Domain Controller. Verify the following key is set correctly and points toward a valid DC.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveVoice\DirectoryConnectors \DirSynchAD\1.00\Domains\{your domain}\DefaultDomainController
The registry setting on Cisco Unity is pointing to the wrong Domain Controller. Verify the following key is set correctly and points toward a valid DC and that DC is not being upgraded or moved while Cisco Unity is being installed and trying to connect to it.
All of the Domain information is under the registry folder \Server\Root and should have the value of the DefaultDomainController.
For more information, check the General Troubleshooting section related to Access to the Directory under the General Troubleshooting Steps for Creating/Importing Subscribers Problems section of this document.
When trying to add a new subscriber, or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "An Unrecognized Error has occurred." error. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added." error.
Run the Permissions Wizard tool on the USERS container in Active Directory or the container that you want to import from depending on your scope for importing subscribers. There are various reasons that permissions are incorrectly configured within the Active Directory. Typically, the Permissions Wizard should be run on the USERS container, or if the customer stores users in a container other than the USERS container, point the Permissions Wizard to that container when running the utility. An overview of the Permissions Wizard can be found at the Cisco Unity Tools page. There is also a help file located on the Cisco Unity server in Drive Letter:\Commserver\Utilities\PermissionsWizard. Also, restart the AvDSAD and AvDSGlobal Catalog services.
When trying to add a new subscriber, or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "An Unrecognized Error has occurred." error. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added." error.
The account associated with the AvDSAD and AvGlobalCatalog services does not have sufficient permissions. Use the following procedure to fix this.
Verify which account is associated with these services.
Run the Permissions Wizard and choose the account verified in step 1.
An overview of the Permissions Wizard can be found at the Cisco Unity Tools page. There is also a help file located on the Cisco Unity server in Drive Letter:\Commserver\Utilities\PermissionsWizard.
If steps 1 and 2 are unsuccessful, run the Directory Access Diagnostic tool (DAD).
DAD can be run on Cisco Unity version 3.0.1 and higher running Exchange 2000. In Cisco Unity 4.x systems, this tool is located in the x:\commserver\utilities directory. In Cisco Unity 3.x systems, go to the DAD tool located in the Cisco Unity Tools page. The DAD tool is very straightforward and contains suggested solutions for problems it encounters. There is also a training video on DAD as well as an additional help file.
When trying to add a new subscriber, or import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "Templates CallHandler not found." error.
In Cisco Unity 2.4.x, you will have to run the confmgr.exe utility that is found in your Unity server under the directory \commserver\ confmgr.exe. Before you run this utility, you have to understand that the following procedure re-creates the Cisco Unity default database (Eadministrator, Esubscriber, the default templates, opening greeting callhandler, and goodbye and operator CallHandlers). The opening greeting says "Welcome to the Unity system…" as it did when you first installed Cisco Unity, instead of your Company's opening greeting. The same is true with caller input, schedules, and so forth, that you may have reconfigured. Please back-up the greetings that need to restore and make screen shots of the configuration for the default database that you need to reconfigure.
Use the following procedure to run the utility.
Go to the commserver\confmgr.exe directory.
Run the DOH script.
Click Run.
For repairing default objects, a default object fix script is now included in Cisco Unity 3.1(4).
Only Cisco Unity versions 3.0(4), 3.1(1), 3.1(2c), and 3.1(3) were tested for backwards compatibility.
This script restores the default subscribers, class of services, templates, and location mentioned for Cisco Unity 2.4.x. Please back up the greetings that you need to restore back to and make screen shots of the configuration for the default database that you need to reconfigure.
Please note that if the Mail User Template exists, but the corresponding call handler for that template does not (for example, if ch_defaultemplate is missing), you must manually remove the Mail User Template from the DOH before proceeding with the following steps.
Use the following procedure to restore the default objects for Cisco Unity 3.1(4) and higher.
Run the C:\commserver\localize\defaultconfiguration\enu\FixDefaultObjects.sql from the command line using the syntax osql -E -i fixdefaultobjects.sql.
Note: The script will make a SQL backup of the Cisco Unity database before modifying it and you must CD to the above location to run the script. Run C:\commserver\configmgr.exe.
Select and run Configure Database Schema.
Warning: Do not run the Run Database Schema Script or the database will be wiped clean!
Select and run the Run Rules Configuration Script.
Select and run Configure Default Location.
Run C:\commserver\configurationsetup\setup.exe /sync.
Reboot the server.
Run C:\commserver\utilities\dbwalker\dbwalker.exe when Cisco Unity comes up.
Use the following procedure to restore the default objects for Cisco Unity 3.1(3) and earlier.
Obtain the fixdefaultobjects.sql script from a Cisco Unity 3.1(4) or later version.
Run the C:\commserver\localize\defaultconfiguration\enu\FixDefaultObjects.sql from the command line using the syntax osql -E -i fixdefaultobjects.sql.
Note: The script will make an SQL backup of the Cisco Unity database before modifying it and you must CD to the above location to run the script.
Run C:\commserver\configmgr.exe.
Select and run the Run Rules Configuration Script and select the DefaultRules.sql script file.
Select and run Configure Default Location and select the DefaultDatabase.sql script file.
Run C:\commserver\configurationsetup\setup.exe /sync.
Reboot the server.
Run C:\commserver\utilities\dbwalker\dbwalker.exe when Cisco Unity comes up.
Fix any errors and orphaned call handlers. You can use Directory Walker, which can be found at the Cisco Unity Tools page.
For more information on the above solutions for repairing default objects, see Cisco bug ID CSCdx20173 (registered customers only) .
When you have a Cisco Unity 3.x server with an Exchange 2000 inbox and in production, and you need to transfer all mailboxes and Cisco Unity subscriber information to a new Cisco Unity 4.x server and Exchange 2000 server, several things must be taken in consideration. In Exchange 2000 you can move mailboxes to a new server. To avoid problems, you need to make sure that these subscribers are completely logged out of their inboxes. They may have no access to their voicemail through the phone and Outlook must also be turned off during the moving process. For the Unity Information, if the mail aliases between the two systems are the same, you can use the DiRT utility to move Cisco Unity subscriber information and inbox messages (optionally) as well. You can find the latest DiRT utilities on the Cisco Unity Tools page (be sure to use the latest ones).
If the mail aliases don't match, it will create new mailboxes for those users on the fly. You can then use the Migrate Subscriber Data tool to move the Cisco Unity information (and, optionally, the inbox content as well) to the correct corporate email account. You can get this tool (and training video and help file) from the Cisco Unity Tools page.
When trying to import a new subscriber via the SA, you receive the "An Unrecognized Error 0x80042024 has occurred." error. This is commonly followed by the "The new subscriber was not successfully added." error. This problem only appears in Cisco Unity 4.x.
The account that is being imported does not have the right permissions or enough permissions. Use the following procedure to fix this.
Run the Permissions Wizard on the OU that you will import users from. The Permissions Wizard is in the Tools Depot.
There is a Tools Depot icon on the desktop of the Cisco Unity server.
The user account in Active Directory has to have inherited permissions from the OU.
Go to Active Directory Users and Computers.
Select View > Advanced Features in order to see the Security tab in the account properties.
Go to the OU and double-click on the user account to bring up the Properties page.
Click the Security tab.
Make sure that the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object checkbox is checked.
When you try to add a new subscriber to the Cisco Unity server, you receive the The alias specified matches an alias already existing in active directory error message. But, if you do a search for the same alias by extension or name, the alias is not found.
This issue can be due to a user in the Active Directory (AD) who has the same alias that you want to use. Verify if the user that you are attempting to create already exists in AD or if there is another user in AD that has the same alias. When you delete a subscriber in Cisco Unity, it is only deleted from the Unity database, but the user remains in AD and Exchange. If you do not remove it from AD and Exchange manually, you have problems when you add the user again or add another subscriber that matches the alias.
Verify if the user that is already in AD is valid and active. If this is the case, you need to assign a different alias to the new Cisco Unity subscriber. If the user is not active and valid, you can manually delete the user from AD and Exchange and add the new subscriber in order to overcome this issue. Complete these steps:
Choose Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > Active Directory Users and Computers.
Expand the tree and open the User folder.
Search for the user that has the same alias. Right-click on the user and choose Delete.
This deletes the account from AD only. You also need to delete the mailbox from Exchange.
Note: If you have voicemail only, then the user in AD that matches the alias is probably an old user that is no longer a Cisco Unity subscriber. In this case, it should be safe to delete the user. But, if you are not sure, then you might need to select another alias for the new subscriber. If you have Unified Messaging, since AD serves email users and voicemail users, it can happen that an email user has the same alias. In this case the only option is to create a new alias for the new subscriber.
Choose Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager.
Expand the tree and choose Servers > First Storage group > Mailbox Store > Mailboxes.
Right-click on Mailboxes and choose Run Clean-up Agent in order to disable all of the mailboxes that are not currently associated to an AD user.
Click on Mailboxes in order to see all of the mailboxes listed on the right window.
Search for the mailbox of the user that you just deleted in AD. Due to the clean-up it should show a solid red circle with an X in it.
Right-click on it and choose Purge in order to delete the mailbox and the messages in it.
You are now able to add your new subscriber in Cisco Unity. At the moment you create the new subscriber, a user account appears in Active Directory Users and Computers and in Exchange System Manager. The mailbox is also created.
When a user imports an existing Exchange user to Cisco Unity using Cisco Unity Administrator, this error message displays:
Page Cannot be displayed
Use any one of these workarounds in order to resolve this issue:
Try to force a reconnection by using the Domain Controller/Global Catalog (DC/GC) Reconnect tool available at Unity Tools Depot > Administrative Tools.
Note: This is not service impacting so it is safe to run at anytime. When you force a reconnection, you can monitor it on the Application Log on the Event Viewer. There you see a message when the process starts and once when it finishes.
If forcing the connection with the DC/GC Reconnect tool does not work, try to import Unity subscribers using the Bulk Import Utility (instead of SAWeb) as documented by Cisco bug ID CSCeg18768 (registered customers only) .
The Extension xxxx is already in use by Mail User:xxxxx. Please enter a unique extension error message appears. This error message is received:
When you attempt to import a subscriber
When the Extension field of some users shows a blank value and when you try to put the correct extension in the field
When you attempt to create new user in Cisco Unity
This issue usually happens when the DB field is corrupted. Complete these steps in order to resolve the issue,
Enter a new extension in the extension field for the affected subscribers, and save the profile.
Change the extension back to the original value, and save again
This error message appears when users are imported from Microsoft Exchange:
(Error) Sync failed: annettem. Error: LDAP_SERVER_DOWN
If you receive the LDAP error when you import users from Microsoft Exchange/Active Directory, it indicates that the Domain controller is not set properly. It is recommended to check if the correct Domain Controller is added in the Domain Controller/Global Catalog (DC/GC) Reconnect tool available at Unity Tools Depot > Administrative Tools. You need to enter the active and running domain controller in this tool and click Force Reconnect.
When you try to add a subscriber in Cisco Unity, this error message is received:
Cisco Unity encountered a SQL error. Description: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done. Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server SQL Error Code: 0x0 ADO Error Code: 0x80040e21 Cisco Unity encountered a SQL error. Description: Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded (limit 32). Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server SQL Error Code: 0xd9 ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Complete these steps in order to resolve this issue:
On the Cisco Unity server, choose Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager.
Choose Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group > <UnityserverName> > Databases, right-click on UnityDb and choose Properties.
Choose the Options tab and make sure that these values are unchecked:
Recursive triggers
Auto close
Auto shrink
When you try to run COBRAS import on the Cisco Unity 4.2, you get conflicts for every subscriber that say they were homed on another Cisco Unity machine on the network.
The reason behind the COBRAS backup failure is because the subscribers exist in the Global subscriber DB.
The solution for this issue is to delete the global subscriber. These are the commands to be performed on the command prompt in order to delete the global subscriber
Osql -E Use UnityDB Go Delete From GlobalSubscriber Where Alias like '%' Go

Hmmm, I'm not sure about the Hollow thing, is that the shape of Ino's Soul, or is that the White Shadow ?
Summons... so, is Sasuke, Naruto and Hinato the only ones with them ? The answer is no, so why weren't they used up until now by other ninja (Temari had a Kamaitachi styled one ) ?
So, is Katsui the only Slug that can be summoned and only in her full form, or can be a part of her summoned ? If so, it would have helped Sakura heal people and herself along the way through most of this series...
Somehow the more I look at their growing up forms, the more they remind me of Joker :p.

Casting Crowns
The resulting album, Casting Crowns, was released in 2003 on the Beach Street imprint. It fared extremely well in Christian markets, eventually going platinum and peaking at number two on the CCM charts. A sampler with five songs, Live from Atlanta, was released on Reunion Records in 2004, packaged with a bonus DVD containing band interviews and a music video. Lifesong, released in August 2005, became the band's most successful record yet, cracking the Top Ten in the secular market while maintaining the band's religious fan base as well. Like its predecessor, the record went platinum, and Casting Crowns' increased popularity helped send their follow-up album, 2007's The Altar and the Door, to number two on the Billboard album chart. Meanwhile, the single "East to West" spent a record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks atop the Christian chart. A Christmas-themed album, Peace on Earth, appeared in 2008, tiding over the group's fans (and yielding a number one hit, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day") while Casting Crowns readied another LP of original material. Until the Whole World Sings arrived late in 2009, followed by the live album Until the Whole World Hears in 2010.
Inspired by the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, Come to the Well, the band's fifth studio album, was released on October 18, 2011. The following year, guitarist Josh Mix replaced Cervantes, and in early 2013 the band issued The Acoustic Sessions, Vol. 1. The Top Ten album Thrive came a year later. In 2015, they released a compilation of singles, hymn covers, and alternate acoustic versions called Glorious Day: Hymns of Faith, as well as A Live Worship Experience, which was recorded that summer at Eagle's Landing Baptist Church, where Hall worked as a youth pastor. September 2016 saw the release of The Very Next Thing, Casting Crowns' studio follow-up to the chart-topping Thrive. ~ Steve Leggett

Instructor: Adjunct Assistant Professor and Laboratory Instructor Robert Garrity
Department: Chemistry
Course Description:
This course will explore the historical evolution of society's struggle to understand what cancer is and how to treat it. The modern view distinguishes cancer cells by their apparent ability to multiply forever. In contrast, normal cells have defined life spans. To insure genetic stability, normal dividing cells are systematically killed, and their components recycled into new and healthier versions. Cancer cells overcome the normal cycle of death and replacement. If given the proper nutrients they proliferate forever, achieving a state of immortality. Thus the ongoing war against cancer is paradoxically, a war against immortality. The modern view of cancer evolved from nearly 4000 years of observation, discovery, debate, and modeling, with emphasis shifting over the centuries from humoral balance to cell structure to mutation theory. In 1971 President Richard Nixon enacted the National Cancer Act, declaring a "War on Cancer." In some ways we are winning that war. Today the cancer field is less disparate and more uniform than ever. The best of many areas in science have come together to pave the way for a new era of discovery. Hundreds of cancer-causing genes have been identified. Understanding the role these gene products play in controlling cell proliferation and avoiding cell death has given rise to new hopes and promises. In the U.S. death rates against prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers are in decline. As the population becomes more educated, certain risk behaviors are also in decline. The first anti-cancer vaccine has been developed. More cancers today are treatable than ever before. However, in certain areas we are losing ground. The outcome of too many cancers still remains grim; the incidence of others is alarmingly on the rise; and unexplained cancer disparities exist in various ethnic groups. This course will explore society's historic struggle with understanding cancer by reviewing past and present models of cause, prevention, treatment, and cure. As always, continued education is key to winning the fight.

High Resolution Timeouts
By Steve Sistare-Oracle on Oct 31, 2012
The default resolution of application timers and timeouts is now 1 msec in Solaris 11.1, down from 10 msec in previous releases. This improves out-of-the-box performance of polling and event based applications, such as ticker applications, and even the Oracle rdbms log writer. More on that in a moment.
As a simple example, the poll() system call takes a timeout argument in units of msec:
System Calls poll(2)
poll - input/output multiplexing
int poll(struct pollfd fds[], nfds_t nfds, int timeout);
In Solaris 11, a call to poll(NULL,0,1) returns in 10 msec, because even though a 1 msec interval is requested, the implementation rounds to the system clock resolution of 10 msec. In Solaris 11.1, this call returns in 1 msec.
In specification lawyer terms, the resolution of CLOCK_REALTIME, introduced by POSIX.1b real time extensions, is now 1 msec. The function clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME,&res) returns 1 msec, and any library calls whose man page explicitly mention CLOCK_REALTIME, such as nanosleep(), are subject to the new resolution. Additionally, many legacy functions that pre-date POSIX.1b and do not explicitly mention a clock domain, such as poll(), are subject to the new resolution. Here is a fairly comprehensive list:
pthread_mutex_timedlock pthread_mutex_reltimedlock_np
pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock pthread_rwlock_reltimedrdlock_np
pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock pthread_rwlock_reltimedwrlock_np
mq_timedreceive mq_reltimedreceive_np
mq_timedsend mq_reltimedsend_np
sem_timedwait sem_reltimedwait_np
poll select pselect
_lwp_cond_timedwait _lwp_cond_reltimedwait
semtimedop sigtimedwait
aiowait aio_waitn aio_suspend
port_get port_getn
cond_timedwait cond_reltimedwait
setitimer (ITIMER_REAL)
misc rpc calls, misc ldap calls
This change in resolution was made feasible because we made the implementation of timeouts more efficient a few years back when we re-architected the callout subsystem of Solaris. Previously, timeouts were tested and expired by the kernel's clock thread which ran 100 times per second, yielding a resolution of 10 msec. This did not scale, as timeouts could be posted by every CPU, but were expired by only a single thread. The resolution could be changed by setting hires_tick=1 in /etc/system, but this caused the clock thread to run at 1000 Hz, which made the potential scalability problem worse. Given enough CPUs posting enough timeouts, the clock thread could be a performance bottleneck. We fixed that by re-implementing the timeout as a per-CPU timer interrupt (using the cyclic subsystem, for those familiar with Solaris internals). This decoupled the clock thread frequency from timeout resolution, and allowed us to improve default timeout resolution without adding CPU overhead in the clock thread.
Here are some exceptions for which the default resolution is still 10 msec.
- The thread scheduler's time quantum is 10 msec by default, because preemption is driven by the clock thread (plus helper threads for scalability). See for example dispadmin, priocntl, fx_dptbl, rt_dptbl, and ts_dptbl. This may be changed using hires_tick.
- The resolution of the clock_t data type, primarily used in DDI functions, is 10 msec. It may be changed using hires_tick. These functions are only used by developers writing kernel modules.
- A few functions that pre-date POSIX CLOCK_REALTIME mention _SC_CLK_TCK, CLK_TCK, "system clock", or no clock domain. These functions are still driven by the clock thread, and their resolution is 10 msec. They include alarm, pcsample, times, clock, and setitimer for ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF. Their resolution may be changed using hires_tick.
Now back to the database. How does this help the Oracle log writer? Foreground processes post a redo record to the log writer, which releases them after the redo has committed. When a large number of foregrounds are waiting, the release step can slow down the log writer, so under heavy load, the foregrounds switch to a mode where they poll for completion. This scales better because every foreground can poll independently, but at the cost of waiting the minimum polling interval. That was 10 msec, but is now 1 msec in Solaris 11.1, so the foregrounds process transactions faster under load. Pretty cool.

Thanksgiving: It's the day to count your blessings and express your gratitude. It's also a wonderful opportunity to escape the norm (or cousin Norm) and get the heck out of town. Instead of going "over the river and through the woods," take a trip to a glorious Southern resort that offers a special splurge for the season. We guarantee a memorable holiday.
Visit This Beachfront Legend
When a guest turns into the long driveway that leads to The Breakers, shoulders relax, and a smile starts. This anticipatory feeling of ease and fun is only the beginning. The relaxation process that captures a visitor at The Breakers―the oceanside gem of Palm Beach, Florida―works like a gentle massage. A total of 140 acres await the person hopeful for a luxurious yet comfortable holiday. And no matter which way the weary wayfarer turns, there's something different to see, do, and enjoy.
Five pools, 5 acres of newly developed beachfront, 20 new poolside bungalows, a spa, and golf galore fill the hours during much-cherished vacations.
Weekly activities for families make this spot a favorite for returning guests. A Thanksgiving Day buffet covers the main holiday need, but there's so much more. Entertainment in The Tapestry Bar and live music on the weekends in The Beach Club add to the jovial atmosphere. "Visitors create their own experiences here," says one employee. "We don't have a cookie-cutter package."
It's easy to make choices, opting for any of eight different restaurants. The Seafood Bar features an aquarium bar and a view of the ocean. The stunning Circle Room offers soaring 30-foot frescoed ceilings and serves up delectable breakfasts and Sunday brunch. A free shuttle ride away, an Asian restaurant, Echo, mesmerizes the palate with some of the freshest seafood available, not to mention steamed edamame (as addictive as freshly boiled peanuts).
Others find their holiday fun in the full-service spa or on the golf course. "You don't have to step a sandal off the property," says the concierge. "You have golf and The Spa. The course has children's lessons. And the 6,160-square-foot family entertainment center has games, movies, and its own Italian restaurant." By the way, children under 16 stay for free.
Need some retail therapy? Go shopping at Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Steuben Glass, and Piaget, to name just a few of the boutiques on-site. Every Tuesday afternoon, the resident historian, Mr. Ponce, expounds on the lore of The Breakers, with its several species of plants and animals, 15th-century tapestries, and stunning Italian Renaissance architecture.
The Breakers may be 111 years old, but it thinks fresh. For instance, you can skip the traditional turkey, and dine alfresco in the warm ocean breeze, indulging in just-caught mahi mahi, fresh lemonade, a view of the Atlantic, and a slice of Key lime pie (its recipe dates back 100 years). Basking in this place's glow inspires a happy prayer of thanksgiving at any age.

Fergie Battle Studded Bootie
"I purchased these Bootie/shoes, a little late in the season but still had the opportunity to wear them a few times esp since here in NY, it has taken its time for spring to arrive.I absolutely love them! I have a lightweight suede blazer in the same color which was the reason I bought them in the first place. They match perfectly & for the height which is about 6", they are very comfortable.I am 5'1" tall & my husband is 6'3" so with the big height difference, I normally always wear shoes, boots, & sandals with some height to them. Because of this reason, it is important I'm comfortable & can easily wear them all day. That is definitely the case with these "booties" esp since they have a wedge in front it also helps to level them off.Anyway, I think you understand the point, they are really adorable and you can wear them with jeans as well as a skirt, etc. Very happy as usual with my purchase from DSW... That's probably why I'm Premier Member (definitely why)!!!"

Last week, we made some good progress on tracking down those text messages Veronica Smith was getting, and that evidence plus other new information led us back to Billy Lee, who has more to do with this case than we knew at first.
We tried to have another conversation with Kenneth Lemmons, but that didn't work out quite like we'd hoped.
In this update, we talked to Dwight Kramer again recently because we're trying to determine where the ketamine came from, and the hospital is an obvious possible source. Mr. Kramer was helpful. Sort of. We at least have a lead or two to follow up.
Watch what Dwight Kramer said about whether any ketmaine was missing from the hospital.

Ten Years of Images of Iraq
The Iraq war began on March 20, 2003, to rid Iraq of a dictator and eliminate his weapons of mass destruction.
The images remain fresh even as the memories fade - the blinding flash of "shock and awe" bombing, the square-jawed confidence of an American president leading his people into war, the cowering prisoner trembling on the ground in the face of a small piece of American power.
Then and Now Images

Ten years ago on live television, U.S. Marines memorably hauled down a Soviet-style statue of Saddam, symbolically ending his rule. Today, that pedestal in central Baghdad stands empty.

Skip to comments.Two Way Radio Reviews and Buying Guide:
Posted on 11/19/2012 7:44:28 PM PST by Kartographer
You might remember growing up with walkie talkies, well today they are called two-way radios. I remember going to Radio Shack to look at their selection of walkie talkies as a kid and always dreaming of having a high powered military set that had ranges of over a mile. Today almost all two-way radios have ranges from 1 to 2 miles and they are much smaller than the ones we had a decade or so ago. Two-way radios are very useful - they are great for long road trips when taking separate cars, on the ski slopes, at amusement parks, when hunting or camping, on backcountry hiking trips, or even in large shopping malls. Businesses can use two-way radios instead of cell phones in many situations as well. There are no per minute charges with 2-way radios which is one benefit over traditional cell phone use. Plus, if you are in the woods where cell phone don't always work, a two-way radio may just save your life. What should you look for in a two-way radio from the store? We get into two-way radio features in our buying guide down below.
(Excerpt) Read more at consumersearch.com ...
I myself have a set of Motorola TALKABOUT T9500XLR Two Way Radios and have been pleased with their performance.
Preppers' PING!!
I have a nice pair of Motorola Talkabouts with headsets, and a pair of Cobras. The Cobras were $2 at a garage sale, the Talkabouts were "free" at a garage sale because the people lost the charger (charger and 2 new NiMH battery packs was, I think, $30).
People are ditching the FRS radios because they carry cell phones and think they don't need them.
In-ear headpieces are nice because nobody else can hear that chirp when you end a transmission.
I also picked up a few in-car CB radios in the same way, but I have not checked them out.
Why not get a armature radio license.
The entry level test is very simple.
I just picked up a pair of Trc217 the other day. They take ten batteries, don't ya know.
$60 got the pair. One was still in the box.
Now if I can remember my CB call sign....
I've got some dual band FRS/GMRS radios, Uniden GMR3689-2CK. They work well enough, but no-where near their advertised maximum range, even in clear dry weather over open flat terrain. 36 miles? I've never had them work at more than about 4 - 5 miles. OTOH, I have some cheap Cobra FRS radios that I have used out to about the same range, and heard other's talking from about 15 miles away. (ok, I was on a mountain side at that time looking down/out with direct LOS)
I have considered it, but not sure of the advantage. I mostly just want something to use to communicate with my team.
Lt FReeper?
I've used handi-talkies since they were called that and used peanut tubes and had B+ voltage.
During the great DX opening in 1999, I used a 5 watt handheld to talk from Texas to California on 6 meters (52.525Mhz)
More recently, I've relied on Icom and Kenwood radio for durability, functionality and reliability.
Batteries, batteries, batteries.
Know how stuff works. Choose your frequency based on your location, and operational conditions.
I agree with a previous poster. Get your ticket (license), and find an Elmer(old guy with years of experience) to guide you.
"Why not get a armature radio license."
What is an armature radio?
These radios would be very useful in a natural disaster situation, but in a SHTF government collapse, "they" would have a list of potential holdouts (possible preppers).
Points to ponder.
I spend to much time on here now. If I had a HAM license I never get anything done! ;-)
It's almost like an amateur radio operator, but a heck of a lot more dangerous. I shouldn't say much. I have problems with speeling sometimes.
Get an amateur radio operators license. Then you can transmit with some POWER!! :-)
You don't have to make it a full time hobby.
Besides, with the crappy sunspot cycle, it's not very fun this peak.
Is the FR Ham ping list still operative? I don't think I've seen a ping from this list for some time now.
Thanks, auto correct got me again.
But your response made me laugh.
Best deal in the verse!
DON'T pay more than 50.00 delivered!
Many Asian Ebay sellers...here is just one.
Well, I am here for information and help.
I started in 1958 as K4ZKZ, specializing in working DX.
I made it to the ARRL "Top of the Honor Roll" in DXCC.
In the 90s, I took the call of W4EX, an old friend, totally blind since the 50s, but the very top DXCC operator in the world, and builder of very fine 4-1000 amplifiers, as well as able to repair anything, and climb his antenna towers.
His widow asked if I would like to take his call sign.
I have been inactive since leaving the USSA in 2000.
My last business was two-way radio sales and service.
Life isn't for the timid.
It is related to coil radio in DC motor talk.
Recently resurrected a couple older HTs that had been idle for years. Might try to get active a bit, but the Hawaii JAM scene is pretty dead. Still not much for gabbing anyway.
What does one buy while one still can? I have FRS radios of course, but If I was to take up a notch, what should I buy. I know radio people are knee deep into their radios, but If you have one week to go buy a communication platform what would it be? Regards.

I prefer American engineering for ham radio.
If you haven't transmitted, and used the radio, you haven't got a characterization history of battery usage, etc...
Gear you haven't broken is gear you haven't tested.
Good to carry any kind of xmit radio in the mountains though. Saved my life, once.
From eham
Even if it was twice it's $50.00 the UV-5R would be a great radio for value\features\performance. I have the " Full combo plate" ( 3600 Mah battery, hand mic, MFJ 1717 ant., progamming cable ) and am well pleased with my set up. Even without all the extra's it is a capable radio system. The standard battery lasts a long time,Fit and finsh rival more expensive radios, the audio and TX is more than good, and the other features ( dual watch ) make one wonder why the Japanese companies are not worried. We're talking $50-60 here not $100-300+. The radio looks good, construction is very good ( especially the Plus model) and the darn thing just works well. Yeah..., it's VERY easy to program with the cable and software but do not listen to the whiners about manual programming... just go to YOUTUBE and look at the tutorials.Manual programming CAN BE DONE
If.. as people say ...,the Chinese GOVT. is subsidising Baofeng in order to penetrate the hand held market, I have no problem with that. Heck, we've been doing that for decades with US agricultural products to penetrate the world food market . That's capitalism and just old fashioned business. To see a non-capitalistic country ( China ) practice capitalism is refreshing proof that our model of subsidies is not bad business Why pay more just to support overpriced Japanese radios? Buy two UV-5R's and enjoy an affordable and competent radio. How can you go wrong for the price?
Like I said, just passing on what I saw. In a real SHTF situation, I doubt "they" will have a lot of spare time to enforce GPMS license compliance.
All range claims of over 1/4 mile or so with FRS and a mile or two with GMRS radios using rubber duck antennas are bogus. With a decent "real" antenna fed with low-loss coax mounted 30-40 ft high you could reasonably expect to get 10 mile radius coverage on GMRS with the typical radio. Add a yagi (which you can easily make out of hardware store materials) and yes, 35 mile range is probably possible. The problem with the advertising is, they omit about 90% of what I just said and that just pisses people off. This ain't rocket science, but it is radio science.
VX-150, by Vertex Standard / YAESU
Probably the best, portable hand held radio in it's class for the money. About 160 bucks.
2 meter, with a range of anywhere from 25 miles to around the globe using links/repeaters.
Amateur radio license required.
But isn't lowering your profile also smart? Isn't the first rule of prepping to not let people know you're a prepper?
Also -
Your FRS/GMRS radios are fine for the purpose you have in mind, in an emergency there will likely be a boatload of them on the air and the potential to form neighborhood nets and segregate traffic by channel is a plus.
But if you're looking for SECURE digital mode voice communications that would provide similar secure comms to military SINGCARS take a look at: http://www.trisquare.us/
These are 900 mhz frequency hopping spread spectrum radios, meaning their are virtually impervious to eavesdropping and jamming. These radios would serve a different - but vital - role in emergency comms, because they would be immune to the congestion and interference that may easily render FRS/GMRS unusable. Plus, you might want a private and secure channel that could not be monitored by anyone else.
The range of these digital radios is no greater than any other radio of similar power. In fact, Trisquared's "truth about range" is a good no BS explanation. About $70 a pair.
I have used an FRS radio effectively at over 2 miles.
From a mountaintop, looking at where I was trying to communicate with.
Step back in the tree-line 60 ft, fergetit.
I don't know anyone today that knows what a Smith Chart is. But there you go.
I am 95% sure my work here alone on FR has placed me on a couple of list.
There's even more than one FReeper who hates preppers so much I am 100% sure they will make sure I am on some list if it be in their power.
According to the manual, outdoors over flat terrain the TSX300s effective range was about one and a half miles.
Throw in buildings, RF, hills etc.....well..
I'm not a coward. I'm an American. I was just passing on an observation to an interest group (preppers) that tend to care about staying under the radar (they came up with "Rule #1", not me).
I guess it is OK to share this on freerepublic, we are all trustworthy patriots that can keep our security concerns secret, and only among ourselves.
I developed a code that I think is unbreakable, I even tried it with a special operations radio operator and he could only roll his eyes when he was totally baffled by it's complexity.
To use it, the first consonant (or consonant cluster) is moved to the end of the word and an ay is affixed (for example, computer yields omputercay or truancy yields uancytray). The objective is to conceal the meaning of the words from others not familiar with the rules.
With practice, skilled operators can use it to quickly share information, safe from the prying ears of the NSA, and others.
Perhaps you have a false concept about an 'interest group'.
