13.4.1 Spatial Scale of Scenarios
The climate change impacts community has long bemoaned the inadequate spatial scale of climate scenarios produced from coarse resolution GCM output (Gates, 1985; Lamb, 1987; Robinson and Finkelstein, 1989; Smith and Tirpak, 1989; Cohen, 1990). This dissatisfaction emanates from the perceived mismatch of scale between coarse resolution GCMs (hundreds of kilometres) and the scale of interest for regional impacts (an order or two orders of magnitude finer scale) (Hostetler, 1994; IPCC, 1994). For example, many mechanistic models used to simulate the ecological effects of climate change operate at spatial resolutions varying from a single plant to a few hectares. Their results may be highly sensitive to fine-scale climate variations that may be embedded in coarse-scale climate variations, especially in regions of complex topography, along coastlines, and in regions with highly heterogeneous land-surface covers.
Conventionally, regional "detail" in climate scenarios has been incorporated by applying changes in climate from the coarse-scale GCM grid points to observation points that are distributed at varying resolutions, but often at resolutions higher than that of the GCMs (e.g., see Box 13.1; Whetton et al., 1996; Arnell, 1999). Recently, high resolution gridded baseline climatologies have been developed with which coarse resolution GCM results have been combined (e.g., Saarikko and Carter, 1996; Kittel et al., 1997). Such relatively simple techniques, however, cannot overcome the limitations imposed by the fundamental spatial coarseness of the simulated climate change information itself.
Three major techniques (referred to as regionalisation techniques) have been developed to produce higher resolution climate scenarios: (1) regional climate modelling (Giorgi and Mearns, 1991; McGregor, 1997; Giorgi and Mearns, 1999); (2) statistical downscaling (Wilby and Wigley, 1997; Murphy, 1999); and (3) high resolution and variable resolution Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) time-slice techniques (Cubasch et al., 1995; Fox-Rabinovitz et al., 1997). The two former methods are dependent on the large-scale circulation variables from GCMs, and their value as a viable means of increasing the spatial resolution of climate change information thus partially depends on the quality of the GCM simulations. The variable resolution and high resolution time-slice methods use the AGCMs directly, run at high or variable resolutions. The high resolution time-slice technique is also dependent on the sea surface temperature simulated by a coarser resolution AOGCM. There have been few completed experiments using these AGCM techniques, which essentially are still under development (see Chapter 10, Section 10.4). Moreover, they have rarely been applied to explicit scenario formation for impacts purposes (see Jendritzky and Tinz, 2000, for an exception) and are not discussed further in this chapter. See Chapter 10 for further details on all techniques.

I will illustrate with the most frustrating of topics : log laws. I can't think of a topic that seems more boring and pointless to most math teachers and students. I know their virtues as well as you, but let's be honest, 99% of your kids don't really need to know them for anything they are likely to do for the rest of their lives. I posted about it last year, but there was a piece missing, and now it really sings. To believe this works, you have to believe that the one doing the work is the one learning. Nobody gets much out of Miss Nowak doing dramatic performances of math problems and proofs other than Miss Nowak learning how to do dramatic performances of math problems and proofs under the withering attention of 24 bored and irritated teenagers. I don't want to give the impression that I'm giving them a worksheet and being all like, "You're on your own, kids! Time for me to kick back and drink coffee." Because I'm running around, scanning for common questions or points of confusion or missed connections, re-capping with the whole group every five to ten minutes, encouraging and validating, etc. But if you believe "teaching" = "lecturing" then you are not going to see the validity of this approach, and I can't help you.
Phase 1: Productive Struggle
Hook the new thing to something they already know or know how to do. Then make them do it. A few times. Let them discuss and work together. No reason this has to be done in silence. Whether calculators are allowed depends on whether the calculator will let them avoid the things you want them to remember and see. (This particular lesson is no-calculators.)
Phase 3: Use it. Presumably this new thing you've discovered is good for something. Even if that something is obviated by ready access to a shmancy calculator.
Phase 4: Prove it. The hardest part for kids, and the hardest part for me to figure out how to get them to be the ones doing the work. I have had some success with this approach of setting up an organizer and basically telling them what to write. But they still need lots of hand-holding. But at least they are doing more than watching/copying a dramatic performance.
Phase 5: Lots and lots of practice. I want them to understand, but I also want mental automation of relationships and procedures. Because later they are going to use this stuff to learn something new.

Home > Glossary > Disciplines of Study [DoS] > Acoustic Communication > English definition
Wednesday 29 September 2004, by
Acoustic Communication, a term proposed by Barry Truax, is an interdiscipline concerned with sound (and human experience of it), which strives to transcend problems of concept and terminology associated with approaching research from within the 'agenda' of more clearly defined contributory disciplines, such as 'music'. Acoustic communication includes closely related areas of study such as Acoustic Design, Soundscape Design and Soundscape Studies. Whereas in many considerations of sonic and musical experience the orthodoxy will privilege the discipline of Acoustics as a source of concepts and models, Acoustic Communication privileges the notion of sound as information.

"With a vision for how software automation might help our business and also reduce costs, I came upon a nice gentleman in the Welsh countryside. Some emails and a Hangout or two and we decided to move forward. Having never done this there was some initial uncertainty, but it helped that he was a native English speaker and we were a manageable 6 time zones apart.
Andrew proved quick to grasp the initial objectives and was always ready to offer guidance when needed. What impressed the most was Andrew's patience as new feature requests were thrown at him – he managed to prioritize and incorporate them into a still-cohesive and manageable whole. We had a regular Thursday Hangout and many emails and shared Docs in between.
The original (narrow) vision gave way to a more encompassing workflow system that will yield far more benefits to our business than originally planned. Andrew was pleasant and professional throughout; I'm already looking forward to moving on to future projects with Andrew. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Andrew Roberts."

Please visit The Deli's full web charts organized by genre and region.
Catherine Dwyer, also known as the guitarist for the alt-rock outfit Sports, offers fans the perfect soundtrack for summer feelings with the release of her solo EP Please Relax. Recorded under the moniker Spring Onion, her new album is DIY at its best. Mostly written and recorded within the walls of her Philadelphia home, Please Relax is an intimate portrait of yearning, infused with dream-pop nostalgia, heartfelt riffs, and candid poetics.
"Egg (Driving Song)," the EP's opener, unfolds with an Aimee Mann-meets-Girlpool earnestness. Telling the story of a commute clouded by desire, the song is a catchy confessional, with lines like "I'm sorry for what I said and didn't say" and "I'll write songs about my flaws/cause that's a way to self absolve." The lo-fi grit of Dwyer's anthem instantly tugs at the heartstrings, transforming even the most jaded listener into a hopeful romantic with each iteration of its fuzzed-out beats.
That sentiment is extended on "Chili". Twangy chords are quickly followed by Dwyer's straightforward but evocative vocals, bringing to mind Built To Spill's "Carry the Zero" and B-sides by indie darlings like The Babies. The track, although laidback, is unflinchingly sincere, the steady build of its instrumentation, urging its audience to actively listen and exist in the moment. The hissing snare and piano of "Poem 3 (Piano)" cast a similar spell, making each reprise of "but I don't live alone" a testament to the millennial plight of finding solace in a shared space, while the EP's title track and atmospheric closer serves as a suitably melodic mantra to calm the anxieties and emotional side effects of living.
Despite its brevity, the openness of Please Relax is astonishingly raw and brave. Listening to her songs will remind you that you're not alone. - Dianca London

Just when you thought that it was time to give up on books entirely — really, who needs them when TV is so good — Mindy Kaling has announced that she will begin penning her second collection of memoirs while on hiatus from The Mindy Project, which recently got the greenlight for its second season.
Kaling's first collection of essays Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), which was released in November of 2011, focused primarily on her childhood and the steps she took to make it in comedy and show business. Her new book will center around "the high highs and low lows of the past 18 months" and will likely be published in the next year and a half.
Kaling made the announcement at her show's PaleyFest panel where she also told the audience that she would be returning for The Office series finale as the much beloved Kelly Kapoor. Good, because if everyone else got to come back and Mindy Kaling had to stay away, we would all have to kill ourselves like Romeo and Juliet. (The Claire Danes one.)

SKF's oil and gas solutions on show at Offshore Europe 2015
2015 August 27, 10:00 CEST
SKF will present a range of innovations that meet the needs of the oil and gas industry at Offshore Europe 2015.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 27 August, 2015: SKF, the knowledge engineering company, will be showcasing a range of innovations that are improving reliability and efficiency for Oil & Gas OEMs and operators at Offshore Europe 2015.
Among the solutions on display is the top drive exhibit, where SKF will showcase a range of its latest top drive equipment, which is designed to improve the operational reliability of critical top drive systems. This includes high performance bearings, seals, lubrication and condition monitoring products.
Costly failures of top drive equipment can occur due to excessive loads and vibration, lubricant contamination, or electrical discharges and hydraulic blockages. SKF top drive solutions address these challenges and reduce the likelihood of failure. SKF tapered roller thrust bearings, for example, deliver high load carrying capacity, the ability to accommodate shock loads and high wear resistance even under an ineffective lubricant condition – increasing bearing service life as a result.
Furthermore, the company will show the SKF Thruster Monitoring, an integrated and flexible condition-based maintenance (CBM) solution for propulsion and positioning thrusters in the marine and offshore sectors. The benefits of using the SKF Thruster Monitoring solution include extended class survey intervals, reduced need for dry-docking, for lower risk of failures and improved ship availability. As a result, end-users can ensure greater thruster reliability and improved asset availability.
Also on show will be the solution for jack-up gearboxes, launched earlier this year. Ensuring better reliability and safety of jack-up gearboxes is key to productivity in oil and gas. This is why SKF developed its latest package of bearing, seal and lubrication products for jack-up gearboxes. This product solution includes the most advanced SKF Explorer CARB and Spherical Roller bearings, which have been proven in many of the most challenging applications, and high performance seals to prevent the ingress of contaminants. Benefits include greater load carrying capacity and improved gear to gear contact, which help to extend gear life while reducing the risk of failure.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see the SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-M; a powerful, cost effective solution for monitoring the condition of offshore machinery. Alongside SKF @ptitude Monitoring Suite software, the SKF Multilog IMx-M provides a complete system for , early fault detection, diagnosis and initiation of machinery shutdown. Further to this, the SKF Multilog IMx-M system can provide automated advice that enables the correction of existing or impending conditions that may impact on machine reliability, performance and availability.
The booth will feature an example of SKF's magnetic bearings solution. The company has worked alongside the world's leading manufacturers and operators of onshore, offshore and subsea turbomachinery to develop its E300V2 control cabinet.
The E300V2 is a modular system for improved reliability and incorporates a number of important new features. These include remote monitoring and diagnostics, redundancy of key components, backup UPS and a high-resolution data acquisition system.
Last year SKF celebrated the commission of its 1,000th S2M active magnetic bearing in the oil and gas sector. This technology will also be available for view at Offshore Europe 2015.
This year's Offshore Europe takes place on 8-11 September 2015 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Visitors to the event will find SKF at Stand 1H41.

Will Schuester I Hate You
Best part of Glee last night? Sue Sylvester's Vogue, right?
When I was in high school, our drama program put on a week of "Circus" performances for local elementary schools every yeaer. It was a huge production, we worked on it for months, and for two years in a row, my best friend EB and I choreographed a Madonna routine that became the highpoint of the show. We were obsessed with Madge, and EB kinda looked like her, especially when she pulled her light, light, light hair into a ponytail Blonde Ambition styles.
Every day after school we painstakingly watched the music and tour videos for Express Yourself and Vogue and learned all the moves. We practised those moves for weeks and weeks and weeks. Then we cut a mix of both songs, with EB as M and me and our other friend JS as Niki and Donna and we delivered a pretty flawless imitation (for 16 year olds) for 5 sold out shows. After that we entered a lipsynching competition and won.
The next year we expanded – it was a 4 song medley (Keep It Together, Into the Groove, Papa Don't Preach, and Holiday) with 20 dancers and again, meticulous copycat of the same routines she delivered on her Blonde Ambition Tour. I still remember most of it. And I can still do every step in the "ooohhhh you've got to, let your body" section of Vogue.
I wish I had the foresight to have saved our video. F-ck!
Anyway, as you can see, with a much bigger budget, Glee recreated Vogue frame for frame. OMG. Remember Oliver Crumes? Remember when they meangirled him? It's time to watch Truth or Dare again.

Italy Vacation Rentals - Certified Luxury Villas, & Apartments
Italian Lake View Apartment
Parker Villas Exclusive - A private pocket listing available nowhere else
With commanding views over Lake Garda, Regina del Garda lords above Gardone Riviera's bustling main square with shops and restaurants lining the streets below. Its panoramic vista is enhanced by a flower filled, lakeside promenade that's perfect for romantic evening strolls. The passenger ferry stop, 100 yards from your door, is an invitation to explore all of Lake Garda.
Regina del Garda occupies the top two floors of a former silk factory. From a furnished covered balcony, it overlooks the pretty pedestrian piazzetta where summer concerts take place. Isola di Garda, the lake's largest island, hovers on the near horizon. To the left is the impressive expanse of the Grand Hotel Gardone.
Furnished in a contemporary style, the main level's open living, dining and kitchen area has four sets of French doors opening to a furnished balcony, bringing in the sights and sounds of this summer resort town. The bedroom on this level faces the other side and sits above the Gardesana, the main road circling Lake Garda. On the top floor, a sloping ceiling results in rooms with dormered windows facing the lake. On this level, there is a small bedroom with a single bed suitable for a child. The apartment is air conditioned.

Matt Dillon didn't Crash his rented 2009 Chevy Impala while traveling 106 MPH through Vermont, but the actor did receive a ticket for the Wild Things he did on the road.
The 44-year-old actor was taken into custody last night after exercising poor judgment while driving more than 40 MPH over the posted speed limit. Had he been going slower he could have gotten by with a ticket but, at those speeds, it's considered reckless driving and excessive speeding. Bummer. On the other hand, we're assuming the rental car he used was a non-SS 2009 Chevrolet Impala, proving the vehicle can actually beat 100 MPH.
Maybe he was just prepping for the sequel to Herbie: Fully Loaded?

So it's been a week since I posted! (Thanks to @kickingdonkey for pointing that out!) Work has been crazy and there's other bunk going on in my life - so I had to take a mini-break from the blog. But hey - I'm back - and I have a ton of posts in "draft" mode - so this week should be packed!!!!
First up - last Monday was my one year anniversary! It's been a whole year since I got married to my hunkahunkaburninglove Larry! I With that, we decided to revisit the spot of our wedding with a picnic of sorts.
For our picnic food - we decided to get something to go from Pomodori's - it's just a few minutes away and Larry has been wanting a pizza from one of those wood-fired ovens for quite a while.
As for the pizza - we got the "Best Holler for the Dollar Combo" ($19.50) which had pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausage, beef, onion, black olives and mushrooms. Wow!
It was a good pizza - although not the best I've had from there. I think with a delicate crust like this - it's really better suited for their "gourmet" pizzas with more delicate ingredients. We both liked it though and with that hunk of cheese bread - we had quite a bit left for the next couple of days.
Why Should You Go? Well most people when in Montgomery go for the bbq - I think they're missing out. I really enjoy Pomodori's. It's a nice place if you eat there as well - I've had great service every time. And be sure to get the cheese bread - it was awesome!!!! (It seems like years ago when I went without cheese for 2 months! haha)

A 22-year-old man has been remanded in custody in England after appearing in court charged with the murder of an elderly man in the early hours of Christmas Day.
The body of Bernard James Smith, known locally as Jim, was discovered at the junction of Shakespeare Road and Wordsworth Avenue on the Highfields estate in Stafford at around 12.50am on Wednesday.
A post-mortem examination revealed 83-year-old Mr Smith died as a result of multiple chest injuries.
Staffordshire Police said Joseph Nicholas Moscicki, 22, from Little Acres, Gorse Ride North, Finchampstead, in Wokingham, was arrested shortly after the discovery of Mr Smith's body.
He was last night charged with murder and failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis.
After a brief appearance at Cannock Magistrate's Court this morning he was remanded in custody to appear at Stafford Crown Court on Monday.
It is thought Mr Smith was returning from a night out at a social club to his home in sheltered housing off Shakespeare Road when he was fatally injured.
His nieces have spoken of their grief at his death.
In a statement released through Staffordshire Police they said: "The family are finding it extremely difficult at this time but we would just like to say that our uncle Jim was very independent and enjoyed regular visits to the Highfields Social Club where he met his friends on a daily basis."

Coming Sunday: A profile of "Surf Report" playwright Annie Weisman and her hometown influences. Arts
Right in the middle of an interview, Gregory Harrison turns around and takes off. Not even a goodbye. Hardly a wave.
Enough of a wave, though, for Harrison — actor by vocation, surfer by compulsion — to carve graceful arcs across its face until fins hit sand. (When it comes to wave-riding style, the man does know his lines.)
Harrison, best-known as Gonzo from the 1980s TV series "Trapper John, M.D.," is starring this month in that rare phenomenon: A major new play set explicitly in San Diego. He plays a local venture capitalist and wave warrior in the world premiere of "Surf Report," written by Del Mar native Annie Weisman and beginning performances Tuesday at the La Jolla Playhouse.
Since Harrison is a lifelong surf fanatic, he's been spending lots of non-rehearsal time in the water at breaks from La Jolla Shores to Swami's to Tamarack.
So, a reporter who wants to talk with Harrison seems duty-bound to go surfing with him.
On a gray May evening at La Jolla Shores, Harrison says the lead character he plays in "Surf Report" wouldn't be caught dead in such barely surfable conditions.
"I think he'd choose to do business today," Harrison decides. "Or he'd say, 'Maybe I'll get on my plane and fly down to Baja.' "
For Harrison, though, it's a perfect day on the water. For talking.
"I think if there were really good, surfable waves coming in, I might not be as relaxed and enjoying it as much," he admits. "It would be a really staccato kind of interview."
Harrison, who turned 60 during "Surf Report" rehearsals last month, still does a lot of TV (most recently as a regular on "One Tree Hill") and has appeared on Broadway in "Chicago" and "Follies." But it's rare for those jobs to involve surfing.
The only other time he managed to combine the two, he wound up creating something of a cult icon: the mystical soul surfer Chandler in the 1987 surf flick "North Shore."
Harrison not only acted in but directed the water sequences for that film; it was no "Citizen Kane," but Harrison's surfing experience gave the performances some in-water authenticity missing from, say, "Big Wednesday" (the 1978 macho wipeout that Harrison unsuccessfully auditioned for).
On the beach in La Jolla, a 41-year-old surfer named Frank Engert strikes up a conversation with Harrison, then realizes he's talking to Chandler in the flesh.
"Wow, that is just, like, so cool!" Engert tells him. "I'd just been surfing a few years when I saw (the movie), and I used to joke with people: 'I'm a soul surfer, dude!' It was the whole 'North Shore' thing."
Later, Harrison says it's not unusual for him to get recognized out in the lineup by surfers of a certain age.
"They were all 16 or 17 years old when 'North Shore' came out. It was a seminal influence in their lives. If one of them recognizes me, it goes through the lineup immediately: 'Whoa, Chandler, dude, your wave!' I get more free waves out of that."
Get him on the water and Harrison can start to sound as if he's channeling Chandler: "Every wave is like a snowflake, different from the last one," he says at one point.
But Harrison has had more than 50 years to grow philosophical about the sport, which he learned while growing up on Catalina Island in the 1950s. Now he lives in Oregon, surfs around the world and counts legends of the sport (Shaun Tomson and Peter Townend) among his friends.
Not that it makes him forget about his day job.
"I'm almost as passionate about the art and craft of acting as I am passionate about my surfing," Harrison says.

Section 36.1.21, "Calendar Controls in Oracle IRM Server Not Accessible Via the Keyboard"
A product defect has been identified in Oracle IRM when it is used with a single large size or multiple open Microsoft Excel files. This may affect the integrity of the Microsoft Excel files that are saved with Oracle IRM.
When you have Oracle IRM enabled with multiple Excel files open or a single large size sealed Excel file, the defect causes data truncation in the open Excel files. There is no error message or warning when the truncation happens.
This defect has been observed for file sizes greater than 10MB although the issue cannot be ruled out for smaller size files as well. The amount of data truncated is random but the rows affected are typically those at the bottom of the file. After the truncation occurs, the data is permanently lost data when the file is saved.
The workaraound is to use smaller sealed Excel workbooks, if possible. If not, confirm the correct row size with the document author, and confirm that value each time you open the sealed file.
There is no confirmation of a resolution as Oracle IRM is nearing the end of support and will be EOL soon.
To protect the security of sealed PDF documents, some Adobe Reader functionality is disabled or restricted, as described below.
Protected Mode in Adobe Reader X
Sealed PDF documents cannot be opened if Adobe Reader Protected Mode is active. If Protected Mode has not been disabled in advance, Oracle IRM will offer to disable Protected Mode when you attempt to open a sealed PDF document. You can choose not to accept, in which case Protected Mode will remain active and the sealed PDF document will not be opened.
Use of Toolbar and Other Controls in Adobe Reader X
When using a sealed PDF document in the traditional view, you cannot use the toolbar that is shown within Internet Explorer across the top of the document. Instead, you must switch to the Read-Mode view (using
Ctrl+H) and use the buttons on the floating toolbar that appears in that view. You can use the buttons on the Read-Mode floating toolbar to save and print the sealed PDF document (if you have sufficient rights), and to page up and down, or to zoom in and out. You can also, subject to your rights, use the following keyboard shortcuts: Print (
Ctrl+P), Save (
Ctrl+Shift+S), and Copy (
Use of Toolbar and Other Controls in Adobe Reader 9
The following Adobe Reader 9 toolbar buttons do not function:
Create Adobe PDF using Acrobat.com
If you click these buttons, you will see a message that the associated function is unavailable.
All other Adobe Reader 9 controls are available if you have sufficient rights. If you do not have sufficient rights, you will see a message when you attempt to use the control.
A further restriction applies to controls added to the Adobe Reader 9 interface by users when they have a sealed PDF document open: the added control will be inactive until Adobe Reader is closed and reopened.
Read-only support for Windows 2000/XP
Sealed documents will always open read-only when opened from Microsoft SharePoint using Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft Office XP. From Microsoft Office 2003 onwards, full checkout, edit, and save capabilities are supported. The following is the behavior when using a Microsoft SharePoint web site to browse and open sealed files:
Microsoft Office 2000 "open" behavior. Clicking any file in Microsoft SharePoint will result in the option to open the file or save it locally. Sealed files will always open read-only unless saved locally.
Microsoft Office 2000 "edit" behavior. The Edit in Microsoft Word [PowerPoint/Excel] option is not supported for any file (sealed or unsealed).
Microsoft Office XP "open" behavior. In Microsoft SharePoint 2007, when clicking a sealed file, a download dialog will be presented offering the option to open the file or save it locally. Sealed files will always open read-only unless saved locally. In Microsoft SharePoint 2010, when clicking a sealed file, a download dialog will be presented offering only the option to save the file locally.
Microsoft Office XP "edit" behavior. In Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010, when choosing Edit in Microsoft Word [PowerPoint/Excel] from the drop- down list for the file, nothing will happen for the following sealed file types:
.sdot. All other sealed file formats will open read-only. In Microsoft SharePoint 2010, the Edit Document option is missing for sealed files when using the Datasheet view.
Files opened from Microsoft SharePoint that are locked for editing by another user will not offer the chance to edit a local copy and merge changes later. Oracle IRM Desktop forces the document to open read-only. In Microsoft Office 2010, the Office bar and Backstage view offer an Edit button to switch to edit mode: this is prevented for sealed documents. If you wish to edit the file, you will need to open it for editing from the Web browser: if it is not locked for editing elsewhere, it will open editable.
Microsoft Word 2010 files opened from SharePoint 2010 are read-only
The following Microsoft Word 2010 sealed file types cannot be edited if they are opened from SharePoint 2010:
.sdotm. Other sealed Microsoft Word formats (for example,
.sdoc) will open as normal. The workaround is to save a copy of the file locally, edit that file, then upload it to SharePoint.
The Check Out button is sometimes missing when opening a sealed Excel file in Protected Mode
If the Microsoft SharePoint Web site is running under Protected Mode in Internet Explorer on Microsoft Vista or Microsoft Windows 7, the Check Out button is not shown. To work around this issue, check out the file first from the Web browser, or open the file directly via Windows Explorer, the Open dialog (available by choosing Open on the File menu), or the most-recently-used (MRU) list.
Using Microsoft Outlook to work with SharePoint offline
Microsoft Office 2007 onwards supports the ability to open a SharePoint folder in Outlook. The SharePoint files can then be worked on while offline, and Outlook will handle the synchronization of any changes. There are known issues with this capability when working with sealed files because Outlook opens them differently to native Microsoft Office files. You may get the message "Outlook cannot track the program used to open this document. Any changes you make to the document will not be saved to the original document" when opening sealed files from this view, and changes made to the sealed file will not automatically upload to the server. A manual send/receive is required.
In Microsoft Office 2010 the sealed files are opened in a mode which is similar to email attachments and require the following protected view settings:
Uncheck Enable Protected View for Outlook Attachments. This will allow opening of the server file from within the Outlook offline view.
Uncheck Enable Protected View for file originating from the Internet. This will allow opening of files when they are being edited offline.
Using Windows Explorer to open sealed files from SharePoint
Microsoft Office 2003 on Windows Vista may have problems opening sealed files from the Windows Explorer view of SharePoint. Microsoft Office may display a message similar to the following:
Could not open http://<sp_server>/DavWWWRoot/Docs/MyFolder/file.sdoc
A workaround for this is to access the folder using UNC. For example:
When using the base release of Lotus Notes version 8.5, if the context selection dialog is canceled when sending a sealed email, an error occurs and the message is lost. This does not occur in earlier versions of Lotus Notes. This issue is resolved in Lotus Notes version 8.5.2.
The use of Save As is blocked in Microsoft Office 2000/XP for sealed files if the destination is a WebDAV folder (for example, in UCM). You'll need to save the sealed file to the local file system and upload it manually to the WebDAV folder. However, if you have the 11g UCM Desktop Integration Suite (DIS) installed, you can save sealed files as a new content item in UCM using the DIS menu in Microsoft Office.
The use of Save as Sealed, or of right-click Seal To (from Windows Explorer), will work when the destination is a WebDav folder.
When you check out unsealed files in SharePoint 2010, you are warned about the checkout and given the choice to use a local drafts folder. When you check out sealed files in SharePoint 2010, the file is checked out without giving the option to use a local drafts folder.
This issue refers to Oracle IRM Fields set up using custom properties, as described in the Oracle IRM Desktop help, in the topic Adding Oracle IRM Fields in Microsoft Excel.
The problem occurs when using a combination of Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or 8, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft SharePoint 2007.
If you open a sealed Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains custom properties, when you go to edit the spreadsheet, the custom properties are initially shown with the placeholder
#NAME? rather than with their correct values. The custom properties should update with their correct values when you start to edit the spreadsheet.
The behavior of automatic save and automatic recovery in Microsoft Office applications is as detailed below.
On automatic recovery, users are prompted to save the file to disk immediately in order to persist the recovered changes to a sealed file on disk. This is true for all versions and applications which support auto-recovery.
All supported versions: automatic save and recovery of sealed files should behave as normal, with the exception that automatic saving is blocked if the filename contains a dot that is not part of the extension (for example,
my.filename.sdoc), or if the filename contains any double byte character.
In Word 2010, automatically saved files recovered from the Recovery pane will not automatically prompt for a Save As: users will need to perform the Save As manually.
PowerPoint XP, 2003: automatic save and recovery of sealed files should behave as normal.
PowerPoint 2007: the automatic saving of sealed files does not take place.
PowerPoint 2000: automatic save is disabled if sealed files are open, meaning that, if the system crashes, any unsaved changes to any file (sealed or original) will be lost.
PowerPoint 2010: Automatically saved files do not appear in the Recovery pane, but Microsoft Office 2010 creates auto-saved files that can be opened via the Backstage view, enabling changes to be recovered.
All supported versions: automatically saved Excel files (
.xar) will be sealed, but the recovery of these files does not happen automatically. To recover "lost" changes, users need to locate the
.xar file and rename it to
Excel 2010: Automatically saved files do not appear in the Recovery pane, but Microsoft Office 2010 creates auto-saved files that can be opened via the Backstage view, enabling changes to be recovered.
Microsoft Office draft documents
Microsoft Office keeps unsaved copies of files for a short period. These are accessible from the Backstage view. Oracle IRM treats these files as auto-saved files, and opening them users will be prompted to perform a Save As operation. To use the restored file in place of the original file, users must copy the saved version over the original.
Because of these restrictions, it is recommended that you do not rely on automatic save and recovery. Instead, save your work frequently when using these applications.
Oracle IRM no longer supports the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.
Error messages are sent to the client (Oracle IRM Desktop) in the language of the server (Oracle IRM Server). Therefore, if the locale of the server is different to the locale of the client, the error code may be rendered in garbage characters. The error code remains readable, and can be provided to support services as necessary.
On the Oracle IRM Server Management Console, if you make changes on a tabbed page that has an Apply button, and then move to another tab without using the Apply button, the changes will be lost. You will not be prompted to save the changes that you made.
The following Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel formats are not supported for sealing when using the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack with Office 2003 and earlier: SPOTM, SPOTX, SPPTM, SPPTX, SXLSX, and SXLTX. For these applications, use other file formats that are supported for sealing.
In Oracle IRM Desktop, if you attempt to check in your rights while a sealed email is open in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Word may hang. It is recommended that you do not check in your rights while a sealed email is open.
In Lotus Notes, if a sealed email has a communication thread with multiple messages or replies, the title bar may show a temporary file name instead of the correct subject name. You may also be prompted to save changes when you have not made any. No harm should arise from these anomalies.
Sealing files of size 2GB or larger is not supported in the current release of Oracle IRM Desktop.
When setting up indexed search, if you enter incorrect authentication credentials for a legacy server (for example, a 10g Oracle IRM Server) that has been set up for Windows NT authentication, the login retry dialog will show options for Windows basic authentication. You should not use Windows Authentication credentials to log in to legacy servers set up for Windows NT Authentication.
If users attempt to open a legacy Microsoft Office 2007 document (a document sealed with an older version of Oracle IRM), and Oracle IRM Desktop has not been synchronized with the server against which the document was sealed, the attempt will fail. The sealed document will not be opened, and the user will not be prompted to authenticate against the server to which the document was sealed. A second attempt to open the sealed document should succeed, because the initial attempt should have synchronized Oracle IRM Desktop with the server. Alternatively, the user can synchronize to the server manually (using the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog) before opening a legacy sealed document.
When using OAM (Oracle Access Management) 11g for SSO, the Log Out link on the Oracle IRM Server Management Console does not log the user out.
This release of Oracle IRM Desktop is available in many more languages than previous releases, including some double-byte languages. However, for legacy (10g) servers, as previously, data (user names, etc.) must still be entered using the 7-bit ASCII range of characters.
In some dialogs in the Oracle IRM Server Management Console, the Return key does not execute buttons. When this occurs, use the SPACE key instead.
In the Oracle IRM Server Management Console, the calendar controls are not accessible via the keyboard, and do not appear if the console is in Screen Reader mode. To enter a date using the keyboard, the date should be typed in.
This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 36.2.1, "New JPS Configuration Properties for User and Group Searches"
Section 36.2.2, "Mandatory Patch Number 12369706 For Release 126.96.36.199.0 of Oracle IRM Server, To Fix Role Edit Bug"
Section 36.2.3, "Installing the 64-Bit Version of Oracle IRM Desktop"
Section 36.2.4, "Reboot Necessary to Obtain New Online Information Button"
Section 36.2.5, "Deploying Oracle IRM Using Oracle Access Manager Version 10g"
Section 36.2.6, "LDAP Reassociation Fails if User and Group Names are Identical"
Section 36.2.7, "Upgrading Oracle IRM Desktop From Versions Earlier Than 5.5"
Section 36.2.8, "Synchronizing Servers After an Upgrade of Oracle IRM Desktop"
Section 36.2.9, "Reapplying Lost Settings After an Upgrade of Oracle IRM Desktop"
Section 36.2.10, "Changing Oracle IRM Account When Authenticated Using Username and Password"
Section 36.2.11, "Post-Installation Steps Required for Oracle IRM Installation Against Oracle RAC"
Section 36.2.12, "Enabling the Oracle IRM Installation Help Page to Open in a Non-English Server Locale"
The following new JPS configuration properties are supported in PS5. These settings allow the attributes used in the Oracle IRM Server Management Console user and group searches to be defined.
Property: oracle.irm.default.search.user.attributes
Valid values (one or more values are allowed, separated with a comma):
Default value = "NAME,USER_NAME,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,BUSINESS_EMAIL"
Property: oracle.irm.default.search.group.attributes
Valid value:
Default value = "ROLE_NAME"
This complements the search filter attributes already supported in jps-config.xml.
Property: oracle.irm.default.search.filter
Valid values (one of the following):
Default value = "CONTAINS"
An example JPS LDAP service instance entry:
<serviceInstance name="idstore.ldap" provider="idstore.ldap.provider"> <property name="idstore.config.provider" value="oracle.security.jps.wls.internal.idstore.WlsLdapIdStoreConfigProvider"/> <property name="CONNECTION_POOL_CLASS" value="oracle.security.idm.providers.stdldap.JNDIPool"/> <property name="oracle.irm.default.search.filter" value="BEGINS"/> <property name="oracle.irm.default.search.user.attributes" value="USER_NAME,NAME,BUSINESS_EMAIL"/> <property name="oracle.irm.default.search.group.attributes" value="ROLE_NAME"/> </serviceInstance>
The Oracle IRM Server Management Console has an issue that requires a patch to be applied to the installed or upgraded system. When selecting rights for a context, the Properties, Edit, and Remove buttons are always disabled and cannot be used. Selecting one or more rights will not enable the buttons.
Patch 12369706 fixes this issue. This patch can be downloaded from
To install the patch:
Log onto https://support.oracle.com
Select Patches & Updates.
Enter the patch number
12369706 in the patch search.
Click Search.
Follow the installation instructions provided with the patch.
For this release, you can choose to install a 64-bit version of the Oracle IRM Desktop client tool. There are no specific instructions for this installation, but if you attempt to install the 64-bit version in a 32-bit environment, you will see messages that this is not possible.
After an upgrade from a previous release of Oracle IRM Desktop, the new Online Information button on the IRM tab in the Properties dialog (obtained by right-clicking Properties on a file in Windows Explorer) is missing until the system is rebooted. This does not affect new installations. A workaround is to restart after upgrading from a previous release of Oracle IRM Desktop, even though the installer does not prompt that a reboot is necessary.
Deploying Oracle IRM version 11gR1 in an environment using Oracle Access Manager version 10g requires additional configuration to process logout requests properly. For detailed information, see the section "Configuring Global Logout for Oracle Access Manager 10g and 10g WebGates" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Security Guide.
When reassociating an LDAP identity store, the Oracle IRM process for exporting user and group information has an issue if user and group names are identical. If a user and group have identical names, the export process will lose either the user or the group details during the export step. This is because the user or group name is used as the file name, so one file overwrites the other. A post-reassociation workaround is to check user and group right assignments, and to manually reassign any that are missing.
You can upgrade to this release from Oracle IRM Desktop version 5.5 onwards, by running the installation wizard on the computer that has the older version.
For versions earlier than 5.5, or from any version of SealedMedia Unsealer or Desktop, you can upgrade to this release only by uninstalling the older version and installing this release.
If you are upgrading to this release of Oracle IRM Desktop from a 10g release, you will lose the locally stored rights to use sealed documents (the rights that enable you to continue working when you are offline). When this happens, you will have to obtain new rights by going online and synchronizing with the server. For this reason, do not begin an upgrade unless you have online access to the server.
When upgrading on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may encounter a file lock and be prompted to retry, ignore, or cancel. You can safely use the ignore option if this happens.
If you are upgrading to this release of Oracle IRM Desktop from a 10g release, you will not be synchronized to any servers (Oracle IRM Server). This will show as a blank list on the Servers tab of the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog. Servers are automatically added to the list when you open sealed documents for which you have access rights. The easiest way to repopulate your list of servers is to open documents that have been sealed against servers on which you have rights.
If you are upgrading to this release of Oracle IRM Desktop from a 10g release, your previous settings (as shown on the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog) are not applied to the new installation. These include support for email systems, so you should reset these before attempting to work with sealed emails in Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.
Oracle IRM Desktop caches user rights in an offline database. In earlier releases, this database was shared by all users of a machine. In this release, there is one offline database per Windows user.
You are strongly advised to use only one Oracle IRM account with each Windows account.
If you authenticate to the server (Oracle IRM Server) with a username and password, you can change the account you use as follows:
On the Update Rights tab of the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog, check in rights for all servers by clicking Check in.
On the Servers tab of the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog, select the server to be updated and click Clear Password.
Quit from any Oracle IRM-enabled applications, such as Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office.
If you think that Oracle IRM-enabled applications may still be running, restart Microsoft Windows.
On the Update Rights tab of the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog, synchronize rights for all servers by clicking Synchronize.
Users who are automatically authenticated to the server using Windows authentication cannot change their Oracle IRM account.
Access to the offline database is protected by your Windows credentials. You are no longer required to additionally authenticate to Oracle IRM when working offline.
To use Oracle RAC with an Oracle IRM instance, the Oracle IRM data source needs to be altered using the WebLogic Administration Console and the following procedure:
From Services, select JDBC, then select DataSources.
Select the OracleIRM data source.
On the Transaction tab, check Supports Global Transactions, then check Emulate Two-Phase Commit.
Click Save.
This will set the
global-transactions-protocol for Oracle IRM data-sources for Oracle RAC to
Use the following procedure to enable the Oracle IRM installation help page to open in a non-English server locale:
Unzip the shiphome.
Extract all the non-HTM files (7 files in total) from
help\en in the
ecminstallhelp.jar file located in
Put these 7 files into the folder jar for the locale in which you will install ECM.
ecminstallhelp.jar with the modified version.
There are no known issues at this time.

Welcome To Camp Nightmare Lyrics
Run, run, run for your life my friend. Obvious this is wrong on all ends. It's getting worse they've been dispersed. It's a nightmare. This is not my idea of a getaway. Oh no! It's full blown. This is a battle zone, what once was home. So, as regret starts to overflow and the doubt grows, it all goes to show. I regret this decision completely. Somehow we've all been separated. I get the feeling I'm not out here alone. I get the feeling, that there's no place left to go. I can't see, running blindly. Starting to accept my unavoidable end. Cabin fever puts that gleam, in my eye. Slit your throat, watch you curl up and die. Saw your bones at your shoulders and thighs. Just getting started as I remove the eyes. Pull these teeth out for this necklace of mine. Inside the chest, rip the heart from inside. Cut out the rest so my hunger can die. Skin your bones in a box by the riverside. This is now how it's supposed to end. This is now how it's supposed to end. This is now how it's supposed to end. This is now how it's supposed to end. All, that's inside yourself is now coming out. You'll never go home again. So, don't regret what you did this year. Just concentrate what you do right now, very well could be your first and very last move. This is not how its supposed to end.

A 22-year-old Somalian woman who claimed that she was wrongly prosecuted after fleeing to the UK to escape a civil war has lost a human rights compensation fight.
The woman was charged with possessing a false identity document after flying into Stansted in December 2009 - and remanded in custody pending trial.
But in June 2010 she was given asylum, a prosecution was discontinued at a hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court and she was freed.
The woman - who told immigration officials that she had been "advised to come to the UK" - claimed that her mental health had suffered while she was in custody.
And she argued that the decision to prosecute had been an unlawful interference with her right to respect for private life.
But a High Court judge ruled against her in 2013 - concluding that the decision to prosecute was not a human rights breach and in accordance with the law.
And the Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal after a hearing in London.
Appeal judges told how the woman had left Somalia - after her parents were killed and she was raped and assaulted during attacks by a rival clan - and travelled to the UK via the Netherlands.
"(She) arrived in Holland on Christmas Day 2009," said one judge, Lord Justice Pitchford.
"The appellant flew from Eindhoven to Stansted on 27 December 2009, the day after her 18th birthday.
"Her travel document was examined by (an) immigration officer ... Neither the name nor the photograph matched the appellant."
The judge said the woman, who was not named in a written appeal court ruling, had claimed asylum.
"She told (an) immigration officer ... that she had come from Somalia for her safety. There was a war in Somalia," he added.
"Asked why she had not claimed asylum in Holland, the appellant said she knew nothing about Holland and had been advised to come to the UK."

While the Cades Cove loop road or Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail are big draws for our guests at this East Tennessee Bed and Breakfast, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is doing some needed repairs on these heavily trafficked roads starting March 1st, 2010. Roads affected and the targeted completion of these repairs are:
Cades Cove Loop (that will also close one-way Parsons Branch & Rich Mountain Rd) 5/21 (an update from the Park, the Loop Rd. will open a month early on 4/24!)
Clingman's Dome 5/28
The Sinks parking area 5/25
Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail 5/28
& Cherokee Orchard past the Noah B Ogle cabin 3/19
While these are some of the Park site seeing highlights, these closures will not affect normal "drive through" traffic on the artery roads. Trails accessed from the roads under repair will be closed also, but with 900 miles of trails in the Park, you have a plethora of choices to choose from. As always, for up to date information on closures call the National Park at 865-436-1200. Extension 631 will give you road closures, and extension 630 is the weather report.
So you might ask yourself WHAT IS A PERSON TO DO while we deal with the face lift? Jeepers, :-O not to worry! There are enough outdoor nature activities besides the shop till you drop experience in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to keep you busy for a week. Or, why not order a picnic lunch or appetizer tray and stay here? Come to breakfast in your robe and curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book, game, or watch a little satellite TV afterwards.
Several years ago on New Years Eve, guests Craig and Ashley stayed here while their friends Allen and Jodi got married in the area. The next year they came back and brought Allen and Jodi with them, appearing to have become a yearly tradition. (Lucky me…) After breakfast on New Years Eve this year, Jodi dug a 1000 piece puzzle out of the game cabinet and said she thought she would put it together. This was the last full day of their stay and honestly I was thinking she is out of her mind. It would take me the whole three days of their stay just to pick out the straight edge pieces and get the perimeter put together. A few hours later I took the middle photo you see on the left. They broke for dinner and went out and about; afterwards, with the four of them watching TV, Jodi continued. Occasionally someone else would plunk in a piece. By midnight she was down to the last couple of hundred pieces and had the full attention of all of us. I think we/SHE finished around 2 or 3 AM. I believe the government is missing the boat by not offering her a job. ("Should she choose to accept…") I can see her sitting in a room with no windows, low light, and piecing together something that saves us from ourselves. With five minutes to spare. What a gift. mizkathleen@ Gracehill

I love baseball. I have loved baseball ever since I was a little kid... and I still do.
I love everything about it -- the symmetry of the diamond, the formality of the uniforms, the complexity of the strategy, the significance of every millimeter, broiling July afternoon games, cool September night games, second-guessing every hit and run play and pitching change, the scent of the grass and the crack of the bats.
Baseball may just be the last unhurried spectacle on this planet. I am going to miss it.
Many complain that the game is just too slow. The pace is interminable, the action is...well…not very, and the intervals between the good stuff far outlive the good stuff. I don't agree. In fact, to me the allure is precisely that. Everything in life is like a lightning bolt on steroids. But baseball has no clock. It may just be the last unhurried spectacle on this planet. Yes. I sure do love baseball.
I am going to miss it.
Very few of you remember, or have heard of, Carl Furillo. He is actually the answer to a personal trivia question of mine. "What is your very first baseball memory?" Better than average, but not a player of Hall of Fame caliber, Furillo mostly roamed the confining patch of grass, otherwise known as Right Field in Brooklyn's Ebbets Field -- home of the Dodgers -- in the 1950's. I can still see him scooping up a scorching one-hopper and rifling the ball to first base before the startled batter arrived there. Stan Musial he wasn't, but no outfielder ever threw the cowhide with more accuracy and velocity than Carl. (He ended up owning a butcher store in Queens.)
When the Dodgers fled to the greener pastures of the West Coast, I was forced to pledge my allegiance to the Yankees -- they being the "only game in town." But when the Mets were born in 1962, this nine-year-old was love-struck. Who cares if they lost a lusty 120 games -- more than any team since 1899 -- that first season? The Mets were mine and nothing could tear us apart.
Languishing in last place in the National League each year, they became, as later described in Wikipedia, a byword for ineptitude. They were truly laughable and lovable and I was hooked. Since we expected them to always lose, each rare victory became an opportunity for a full blown celebration. And when, out of nowhere, Tom Seaver led them to victory in the World Series in 1969, me, my friends, all of New York, and losers from every walk of life became…winners. We were intoxicated and signed lifetime contracts to be fanatical fans forever.
But forever is a big word, you know.
The years went by and the Mets, like all sports teams, ebbed and flowed. Lots of frustration (we now expected them to win) with occasional moments of joy and elation sprinkled in. So it goes for followers of professional sports teams. The magic of the game, however, never waned or fluctuated.
I became a better than average ballplayer myself (did someone say Carl Furillo?), playing on several teams in summer camp, city spring leagues, and summer bungalow competition. For many years it was hard to keep me away from a softball game. Waking at 6 A.M., traveling for hours, or 35 degree April Sunday mornings were never obstacles to nine innings of beauty and perfection. Like most kids, I loved playing and I loved watching.
But this kid was also growing up. Baseball was truly a great escape -- harmless, fun, and mesmerizing -- but I began to consider that perhaps, just maybe, there was more to life than Jerry Koosman, Lee Mazzilli, and Rico Brogna.
Along the way, God blessed me in abundance -- an exceptional wife, eight unbelievable children, a growing psychotherapy practice, a love of Torah learning, exceptional friends and family, several books to write, speeches to give, films to produce and direct, and many, many bills to pay. This impressive array of activity meant that baseball would, upon occasion, not be able to totally dominate my life.
But, all too often, dominate, it did. Staying up too late, listening to the West Coast games became a near-necessity. My time in the car -- a potentially valuable commodity -- was wasted with incessant SportsTalk prattle. Meaningful conversations, especially with my sons and with friends, were overshadowed by statistical debates and mindless trivia. I convinced myself that I was bonding with them, and perhaps I was, but I knew deep down that more substantive bonding agents would work too.
Like it is with any addiction, there is no middle ground. I needed to go cold turkey.
And so, about ten years ago, I walked away from my favorite pastime. I continued my active, on-the-field competition, but I stopped watching, listening, reading, following, discussing, analyzing, and, above all, caring about my heroes of swat. Because like it is with any addiction, there is no middle ground. I could not become an occasional fan with a passing interest. It just wouldn't work. I needed to go cold turkey. And so I did.
There was just one problem -- that didn't work either.
I guess I just missed it too much, or needed it more than I thought. Maybe I just wasn't ready, I don't know. But before too long I was swept back in -- counting the days to Spring Training, questioning the choice of the split-finger fastball over the slow curve, and dissecting the stats of next week's opponents. I can't deny it -- it was fun. It made me feel young.
Of course I knew that the emotional investment I was making in every victory or defeat wasn't real. If I stopped to pinch myself I would, naturally, realize that some total stranger named Gary or Jose or Carlos hitting a ball, 2 7/8 inches in diameter, over a fence 345 feet away was not of any cosmic or personal significance. But there is something enjoyable about pretending to care about something that, in truth, is pointless. It is the essence of every great motion picture and every novel. It helps us to safely touch feelings that long to be experienced without the fear of exposing them to authentic suffering.
But two years ago I tried again.
It was the final day of the 2008 campaign. After 161 gut-wrenching games, my beloveds needed a win over Florida to tie Milwaukee for the last playoff berth. And after 2007's historic collapse, most Mets' fans held their hearts in their throats and prayed for providential intervention. I may have skipped the Heavenly beseeching, but the pulse was definitely up a notch or three.
I won't belabor the point. With two outs and a runner on in the ninth inning, the Mets were down 4-2. The season hung in the balance. Ryan Church was the batter. I liked Church. He was steady. He was talented. I watched him stride to the plate with confidence. The capacity crowd of 50,000 plus stood as one and held their collective breath. Before me sat my lonely bowl of cashews… unaffected. I was way too nervous for food. Church cocked his lumber with determination and intensity. The pitch was delivered. The contact was true and mighty. The ball flew far and deep into center field…right into the glove of the enemy.
It was over -- the game, the season, the hopes, and my passion.
I remember sitting stunned for a few minutes. I am ashamed to admit I felt pangs of sadness. More than that, I felt sad that I felt sad. But I seized the moment. I would never let Ryan… or Gary or Jose or Carlos… hurt me again. I lifted a handful of cashews into my palm and said a blessing. Then I rose from my seat and I said goodbye. Forever.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Forever is a big word. That is true. But I have not watched, listened, read, followed, discussed, analyzed, and, above all, cared about my heroes of swat for a single moment since that fateful day. And if that sentence also sounds familiar, it's because it is.
But this time it feels different. Sometimes you just know.
Please don't misunderstand. Baseball is great – the symmetry, the scent, the timelessness etc. And if the time comes when I am healthy enough to enjoy that occasional lazy August afternoon jaunt or that passing glance at the box score without caring at all, I might just taste a morsel or two.
But until then, I have some wonderful memories.
Was I addicted to baseball? It's hard to say. And even if I was, it sure is a lot healthier than the addictions we most commonly relate to. But if we define addiction as allowing something to control you instead of the other way around, the term may actually fit. And even if I wasn't addicted, I just felt that my time could better be invested elsewhere.
So thanks Carl… and Tom, Darryl, Doc, Mike, Keith, Cleon, Jesse, Tug, and Mookie. It's been great. But I have to move on. I hope you understand.
Life is waiting and I just need the space.

Finally I'm getting around to responding to lost devices in Direct3D in my core engine code. It's actually not as tough or complex as I once thought.
However it is not working correctly yet. Here is what I'm doing:
- Testing return value of TestCooperativeLevel() at start of render
- If return is D3D_OK, proceed to update and render
- If return is D3DERR_DEVICELOST do nothing but return to caller
- If return is D3DERR_DEVICENOTRESET, invalidate device objects for CD3DFont, Reset() the device, Call InitD3D() to re-initialize device with stored D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS (class data member), and return.
The Reset() is not working completely. When I Alt-Tab out of the game and then back in, it works but only the font is showing. I can clear the back buffer to any color I want, but no primitives or textures are visible.
Any ideas as to why this might be?
