One of my favorite parenting decisions came while on the playground with my oldest son when he was shy of two years old. He saw another child's tricycle, something which he had yet to experience, and naturally wanted to try it out. The common reaction at playgrounds is for kids to be told, "That's not yours. Sorry, you can't play with it." So, my first thought was, "It would upset the other child and we shouldn't put them in that situation." But I thought a bit longer, feeling very committed to parenting with positive responses when possible (and -ugh- I really need to work on this again!). I realized we would almost always be happy to share, so why not give it a try with this family? I encouraged Charlie to go ask that child if it was alright to take a turn. I modeled the words for him at his developmental level first, "Turn with tricycle, please?" and we walked hand-in-hand together to the little boy and his mom. Charlie asked but wasn't understood (darn toddler articulation), so I repeated his request. And you know what? They said, "Sure!" Then they asked to borrow a shovel Charlie brought. Both kids were happy as they learned the benefits of requesting and sharing in the best, most tangible way for that moment.
That decision seemed so small at the time but it has impacted our everyday life with kids in a pretty dramatic way. In hindsight I realize that we were making a choice to embrace and trust our immediate community, wherever we were, whether we knew them or not. We were allowing other people to be responsible for their own boundaries instead of assuming the worst and deciding not to "bother" them. We were also taking the risk that the boys would be turned down, and that we could all survive the sad cries that would ensue. They'd be alright, I'd be alright. The risk was worth it.
This attitude has allowed our boys to experience an incredible array of fun situations, activities and toys that they would've otherwise been steered away from. I'd guess that 99% of people respond positively. I realize this seems so simple and obvious, but in my countless experiences at playgrounds and other venues since making this choice, I find that it is very unusual for caregivers to allow children to ask others to explore something, borrow things or take turns if it requires interacting with strangers.
With our oldest, this increased confidence with approaching and asking others has generalized to him being very comfortable talking with most adults, handling transactions in a marketplace with ease, and being willing to share how he'd prefer for situations to be handled. It has led to Charlie feeling comfortable asking random construction workers if he could sit in their vehicle's cabs, countless dogs being pet by Miles, snacks being shared, cockpits being viewed. We could wait and hope people will see the little boys' longing eyes and be willing to offer, but now I much prefer they take the lead when possible..
I think it is really empowering. It allows them to make specific requests regarding their genuine interests as they're out and about, not just what caregivers think they'll find cool. Most adults love fulfilling a little child's request. They love hearing the little voice ask them, seeing their wide-eyes and smiles during the experience, and receiving a lovely little two year old "fank you!" afterwards. I encourage my boys to request their own special treats when we hit our local doughnut shop or favorite bakery. Initially (in the late ones and early twos), both boys needed me to walk them through protocol. "First we wait in line. It's not our turn yet. When it's our turn, you can ask." [Wait, wait, wait. Ack! This is taking forever. Hold on, child.] "Now you can ask for it." Miles still needs some models and sometimes the vocabulary for what he wants, Charlie often needs a reminder to say "please". I usually try to whisper it in his ear with hopes that my reminder doesn't embarrass him, as he's getting to that age. But let me tell you, they get the best responses from the employees. Everyone wins- the boys are confident and pleased with themselves, the employees get a serious dose of cuteness. I get to take in the sweetness of it all.
PS: If you're too worried about stranger-danger to try this, I think this website might have some good advice for you. FYI- I'm there all the time and don't allow any dangerous requests to be fulfilled.

4 Tips to Build Buzz About Your Event
After all the time and money you spend planning a big brand event, the last thing you want to hear is, "I didn't even know that was happening!"
We've planned a lot of events for clients over the years, from intimate gatherings to large-scale corporate gigs. Here are just a few tips to help you get people talking about and attending your event (bonus feature: while all of these tips might take time to implement, they're relatively low cost, which is great when you're trying to plan an event on a budget):
Time is your friend: We have potential clients call all the time with a request to help them promote something like a store grand opening and it's happening…..next week. While you can certainly do a few last-minute things to help get the word out about the event, you're much better served planning your promotions months in advance, allowing yourself time to send out invitations, contact any media who might be interested and conducting some social media awareness programs. Give yourself plenty of time to get the word out.
Connect with like-minded people: If you're in the business of selling cupcakes, do a search online of people in your community who love desserts. You can reach out to these people via channels like Twitter and invite them to your event. You can quickly type in search terms with words to help identify your potential audience and start to develop relationships with these people in the hopes they become customers. These types of relationships take time to develop: see the first point above.
Save the date: Lots of people look to calendars in their community or industry to help them make plans. If you're hosting a charitable fundraiser, make sure to send the details to all of the relevant (usually free) calendar opportunities. Magazines, newspapers, TV and radio stations usually host "Things to Do"-style calendars on their websites; Chambers of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureaus often have a similar feature. Many of these calendars – especially if they come out in print format – have a long lead time to submit details, so send the information in early for the best chance of being included.
Email is not dead: While not a social media darling like Facebook or Twitter, email still holds a valuable place in the world in terms of providing people with news they can use – especially when it comes to events. If you're planning an event, create a clean, concise email to share with your audience. Depending on the nature of the event, you might consider sharing different pieces of information over several emails, and invite people to RSVP via social media to get more conversations going.
These are just a few tactics you can implement to help maximize the buzz happening about your event. What events have you attended recently that did a nice job of getting the word out ahead of time?

Annual Brake Safety Week
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week
Bentley Truck Services is ready to assist customers in pre-inspecting their trucks
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week takes place through September 11 – 17, 2016. Throughout this week, inspectors will be keying in on brake safety. Law enforcement agencies will conduct inspections on commercial vehicles to look for out-of-adjustment brakes, brake systems, and anti-lock braking systems. Within specifications, CVSA stated that inspectors will be on the lookout for "loose or missing parts, air or hydraulic fluid leaks, worn linings, pads, drums or rotors, and other faulty brake system components."
Additionally, inspectors will also be checking for ABS malfunction indicator lights, assuring that they are properly working. Any commercial trucks that fail to meet their standard will result in the vehicle being placed out-of-service. According to CVSA, most inspections will be full Level 1 inspections, and 10 jurisdictions will be using performance-based brake testing to measure braking efficiency.
Furthermore, "CMV brakes are designed to hold up under tough conditions, but they must be routinely inspected and maintained carefully and consistently so they operate and perform properly throughout the vehicle's life. Improperly installed or poorly maintained brake systems can reduce breaking efficiency and increase the stopping distance of trucks and buses, posing serious risks to drivers and public safety."

You might not even notice it, but every minute you're awake, you have to blink your eyelids. Your body does this without you even trying, and for a few reasons. Blinking keeps our eyes wet, pushes dust out of the way, and gives our brains quick, restful breaks from looking at stuff. So our friend Alexis V. asked, how many times do we blink while watching a movie? (And happy birthday Alexis!) To figure that out, we need to know how many times we blink in 1 minute, and that depends on what we're doing. We normally blink 15-20 times per minute, which means our eyes are closed about 1/10th of our whole time awake. BUT scientists have found that we blink less often when we're watching something interesting — like a movie. That said, even if we drop to 10 blinks a minute, over a 2-hour movie our minds will still get lots of breaks, as we'll find out when we do the math.
Wee ones: If you blink 8 times, what numbers do you say to count those blinks?
Little kids: Kids blink less often than grownups — you blink faster and faster until you're 14! How many years from now is that for you, or how long ago was it? Bonus: Babies blink only 2 times a minute. How many minutes does it take for them to blink 6 times?
Big kids: If a movie lasts 2 hours, how many minutes of blinking is that? Bonus: If you then blink 10 times every minute, how many times do you miss out on little bits of the movie?
The sky's the limit: If a kid blinks only 2/3 as often as a grown-up, and blinks 20 times less during a Youtube video, how many times does each person blink?
Wee ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Little kids: Different for everyone…count up to find the years until you're 14, or count down from your age to 14. Bonus: 3 minutes.
Big kids: 120 minutes. Bonus: 1,200 times.
The sky's the limit: 60 times and 40 times. If the kid blinks only 2/3 as much, then the difference in their blink counts will be 1/3 of the grownup's total. We know that difference is 20, so the grownup must blink 60 times, and from there the kid will blink 40 times.

My bestie and her fiance came for a little visit so we took them to one of the prettiest places we know: Sleeping Bear Dunes. Sleeping Bear is one of those places that doesn't seem like it should exist in these fine United States (and in Michigan, no less)–what with its stretches of pristine white sand beaches and freakishly blue water–but it totally does.
A trip to Sleeping Bear would not be complete without a pitstop (get it?) at The Cherry Hut, home of our favorite Michgian mascot, Jerry Cherry. The Cherry Hut is known for cherry everything so we indulged in its famous cherry-ade, cherry burgers, cherry salsa and (naturally) cherry pie.
We stayed in a lovely AirBNB in Frankfort, a few blocks from both Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. Mostly, we wanted to stay here because it is close to the most charming lighthouse, Point Bestie. Evidently, it's one of the most photographed lighthouses in America–for good reason.
And mostly we wanted to visit so we could take our signature back-to-back-BFFs photo, a la Blossom and Six (though, sadly, minus the sweet hats), in front of a lighthouse. Because every BFFreindship needs a lighthouse photo. Herein, we imagined we were Anne and Diana chillaxing on Prince Edward Island.
Of course, no trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes is possible without taking a loop around Pierce Stocking's famed Scenic Drive. I like Mr. Stocking because he built a covered bridge for the sole purpose of having a "picturesque" point for tourists to snap a photo. Because he is a thinking man.
Side bar: the original covered bridge had to be torn down because porcupines munched through the sides!
We got there right when the very tippy tops of the trees were starting to change, though you would probably never guess that it was a chilly fall day with all this greenery, save for Trish and Rich's J.Crew outerwear. And, really, how adorable are they? These two are my favorites.
The scenic drive takes you through forest, wetland, and finally dunes. Here we are standing on the precipice of a dune that stands 450 feet tall. Right where the sand hits the water is a drop that crazy people (ahem, Warren and Rich) run down with abandon and the climb up on all fours, panting.
They say it's worth it. However, Trish and I just sat on the top watching them struggle while we gabbed up a storm.
I love all the quaint Michigan farmland in these parts because it reminds me of all the Iowa farmland I once loved so dearly. And, yes, I made Warren pull a U-turn just to snap a photo of this barn. In fact, I do this so often that he's learned to preemptively make U-turns when we see something that looks even vaguely interesting on the side of the road, which is exactly how we found Dabl's Bead Museum in Detroit a few years ago.
Another Avonlea moment, swaying sea grass and all.
We honestly could have stayed here forever.
One of the easiest and loveliest walks is out to Empire Bluffs. We went right at sunset so we got out to the lake view right after it went down. Still, it was a pretty good show. We also took a series of faux engagement photos.
In Warren's dream world, we would have both been wearing Pirates (or Steelers) gear for our engagement photos. But, alas, we danced across a frozen Iowa lake. How have we already been married for over four years?
We also tried to take some legit engagement photos of Trish and Rich. Next time you're in West Michigan, keep an eye out for a mythical beadered ginger who just might–as legend tells (and if you're really lucky)–photo bomb your engagement photos! We're really hoping this shot is the one that makes the final cut.
But really, Sleeping Bear Dunes is the dreamiest. I'm so glad I live in a state that varies so much–from urban Detroit, to the vast vistas of Lake Michigan, and to (quite literally) Hell (though it's a very charming Hell). We are lucky ducks, indeed.
It's been many moons since I last did Michigan Monday post–mostly because we were busy exploring other parts of the world this summer–so I'm glad that we have a few more excuses this fall to reignite one of my favorite blog series. Here are a few of our favorites:

Free your friends with the power of puzzling in Teeny Green
When you wish upon a star, you just might find a way to save your people from slavery. The trick is, you need to hang onto that piece of the cosmos or else you risk losing everything again. Teeny Green is a puzzle game that revolves around the retrieval of one such star, which sounds like a worthwhile rescue mission if there ever was one.
The hero of Teeny Green is Green, blobby fellow who finds a star and uses its power to free his kind from the Onicrons that have enslaved them. But when the Onicrons decide, "Hey, magic stars are cool," they whisk away Green's property.
Green must navigate over 70 mazes to bring back his shiny belonging. According to Phenom Studios, the maze-centric gameplay in Teeny Green is inspired by the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur's labyrinth, but there are more traps, more platforms to jump around on, and more Onicrons to outsmart (given the inspiration for Teeny Green, we hope there is less backstory involving a woman getting it on with a bull).
Teeny Green is a promising little puzzle game that promotes the power of thought, the power of wishes, and the advantages of having two eyes over one. The title should hit the App Store soon, so stay with Gamezebo for more information about slimy little guys who are best friends with heavenly bodies.

How it can happen?
At first, of course, it can happen when the database is broken, and some keys are missing. But the more realistic case for this inconsistency is indexing data when the data is being modified.
It can be easily reproduced, because index creation or re-activation passes three steps:
- server moves data from the table to the temp file
- data in the temp file is being sorted
- server moves sorted data to the database as an index
So, find the big table, apply "create index" on it, then wait until temp file for the sorting will be completely created in the temp directory, and after that insert some record in the table and commit. Then try to find this record with where condition. Null. Scary?
Yes, but this is fixed in Firebird 2.0 (by write locks on table during indexing).
p.s. gfix also may detect this type of index inconsistency.

In Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth—a classic children's story for all ages—the boy Milo unwittingly takes a journey into a world of fantasy, where he discovers that his own world is far from the boring place he considered it to be.
During one of several encounters with the creatures and people of this fantasy world, Milo learns about the tragedy of living an unexamined life:
"Many years ago, on this very spot, there was a beautiful city of fine houses and inviting spaces, and no one who lived here was ever in a hurry. The streets were full of wonderful things to see and the people would often stop to look at them."
"Didn't they have any place to go?" asked Milo.
"To be sure," continued Alec; "but, as you know, the most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that. Then one day someone discovered that if you walked as fast as possible and looked at nothing but your shoes you would arrive at your destination much more quickly. Soon everyone was doing it. They all rushed down the avenues and hurried along the boulevards seeing nothing of the wonders and beauties of their city as they went."
Milo remembered the many times he'd done the very same thing; and, as hard as he tried, there were even things on his own street that he couldn't remember.
"No one paid any attention to how things looked, and as they moved faster and faster everything grew uglier and dirtier, and as everything grew uglier and dirtier they moved faster and faster; and at last a very strange thing began to happen. Because nobody cared, the city slowly began to disappear. Day by day the buildings grew fainter and fainter, and the streets faded away, until at last it was entirely invisible. There was nothing to see at all."
"What did they do?" the Humbug inquired, suddenly taking an interest in things.
"Nothing at all," continued Alec. "They went right on living here just as they'd always done, in the houses they could no longer see and on the streets which had vanished, because nobody had noticed a thing. And that's the way they have lived to this very day."
"Hasn't anyone told them?" asked Milo.
"It doesn't do any good," Alec replied, "for they can never see what they're in too much of a hurry to look for." (pp. 117-18)
Look up. Look around. Seek wisdom. See beauty.
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.—Proverbs 2:1-6

I figured I would start my own thread to hopefully see how many people are seeing this error. I see a ton of random kicks/disconnects, but this seems to be happening to random players on our servers and it is not even for the same PBO each time. Always different. If I compare my RPT (game) to his, he has all the right signatures numbers just like mine. However, when I look at the server logs, each one of these below is a different disconnect in the span of 20 minutes for the same person. Now one thing we did do was recreate a profile and it worked for about a day. Also note they do have APEX and some do not.
Wrong signature for file addons\props_f_exp_a.pbo
Wrong signature for file addons\dubbing_f_epb.pbo
Wrong signature for file E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\expansion\addons\sounds_f_exp.ebo
Just a few that we see server side, but nothing on their RPT side.

26 Sep My Car Was Repossessed Three Years After I Reaffirmed it in a Chapter 7 – What are My Options?
The bankruptcy law limits how often you can file a second case. A lot has been written about so called "serial filers" – property owners who file multiple Chapter 13 cases to thwart foreclosures, but what about debtors who successfully complete their Chapter 13 or who receive a discharge in a Chapter 7 but find themselves in trouble a few years later.
This morning, I received the following email from a potential client:
I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in October 2005, and ow my car has been repossessed. What are my options because I owe $17,000 and I know they wont get that for the car when it is sold at the auction.
The short answer is that you cannot file another Chapter 7 for eight (8) years from the date you filed your Chapter 7 – in this case sometime in October, 2013. You cannot file a Chapter 13 and receive a discharge for four (4) years from the date of filing your Chapter 7 – in this case, October, 2009.
You could file a Chapter 13 for the purpose of paying back some or all of the repossession deficiency but you would not be eligible for a discharge.
What can we learn from this situation:
- be very careful about reaffirming debts in Chapter 7. In this case, the debtor reaffirmed a vehicle loan but end up not being able to pay the debt. I think that far too often debtors reaffirm debts in Chapter 7 without thinking through the implications. When you reaffirm a debt in Chapter 7, it becomes, in essence, a non-dischargeable debt. In my view if you can come out of your Chapter 7 with no debt and no installment obligations. You are far better off saving up your money to buy an inexpensive vehicle for cash.
- although a Chapter 13 would still be available, it most likely does not make any economic sense. Chapter 13 has become so complicated that most attorneys charge between $2,500 and $5,000 for Chapter 13 cases. If this debtor ends up owing $10,000, it clearly does not make sense to pay $2,500 for the right to pay that $10,000 over five years in a Chapter 13.
- Most likely the best option for this individual is to try to work out a payment plan or subject his/her wages to garnishment. In my view, his/her situation is not one that is solvable by bankruptcy.

Welcome Back to the Woman Wars, Camille Paglia...
The quality of discourse for women today is poor. The many and varied reasons for this will make a post for another day, but for the moment, note that the Mommy Wars and hookup culture discussions might be heartfelt but rarely resolve anything.
Notable recent examples of unproductive chattering: Naomi Wolf has created a new range of vagina puns with her anecdotal account of her technicolor orgasms in her latest book Vagina. The Life of Julia is a left-looking faceless cartoon claiming that women need government to take care of them. (I linked to Iowahawk's parody because the original is too depressing.) Hanna Rosin seeks to convince us that replacing domineering men with domineering women amounts to positive progress. And a fan fiction author addicted to "shouty capitals," E.L. James, captured the imagination of women across the English-speaking world with a poor specimen of a bondage novel that has since spun off a line of sex toys with little Fifty Shades of Grey logo tags. (British comment threads are always informative. Why pay for trademarked logo pleasure balls when limes work just as well?)
Missing has been someone to show how absurd this all is. We, the most privileged and independent women in history, find those discussions compelling? Sure, the Right has been pointing out the absurdities in such discussions for a while, but we are written off as the bigoted and biased Other. Feminist thought needs some honest criticism from the inside.
Re-enter Camille Paglia, the "pro-sex, pro-porn, pro-art, pro-beauty, pro-pop" sixties feminist and heavily published art and culture critic, quiet for the past few years while writing her latest book due out on October 16th, Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars. Our debates suffered from her absence.

The Model 30/40 International Engine
|As far as oil tanks were concerned,
pure racing International's were normally fitted with full wrap-round
oil tanks, while CS1's were fitted with the oil tank only on the
timing side, the left side normally being used for a battery carrier.
It is difficult to be categorical about this though, as I suspect International's
were also fitted with these 'half' tanks, unless they were
requested in racing specification.
What you can see though on all racing tanks from this point forward, is that the filler was situated on the left, while the non racing tanks were normally on the right. I gather this was mainly as a result of the Isle of Man TT, where the pits were situated such that the mechanics could fill easier from the left.
I did once have a very early wrap-round oil tank from around 1931 vintage. I gather this may have been a 'works' type tank, but had a filler on both left and right sides. However, the necks were made to receive screw in (hexagon type) caps, rather than the later butterfly caps that were very distinctive to Norton's. Stu Rogers told me these were fitted on the earliest wrap round tanks and used the same thread size as the vertical bevel nuts. Interestingly, the tank had a large recess at its base on the right side. If you look very carefully at contemporary photographs of Guthrie sitting on his 1931 TT winning Junior, you can just make out this recess, which looks to have been there to give clearance to the pressed tin cover fitted at that time over the external positive stop mechanism (were these called 'Thatched Cottage' gearbox's?).
|1933 Development
1933 again resulted in further improvements to the Works bikes. The main changes being the introduction of bronze alloy heads (which although no lighter than the iron heads, did have better thermal conductivity) and wider brake drums.
I note as well that, looking at contempory photographs, all the remaining main engine castings on the works bikes look to have been produced in magnesium. These included the crankcases (as in previous year), cambox and covers, timing case and cover and even the vertical bevel chamber castings (see my For Sale section for more on this last item).
That year's TT produced the first ever clean sweep, with a 1,2,3 win in both Junior and Senior events, with Stanley Woods again winning both races.
1933 continued much the same way as 1932, with Norton's and Stanley
Wood in particular winning almost everything. However, by this time
all was not well in the Norton camp as Joe Craig and Bill Mansell (Nortons
boss) were now using team orders and had tried to force Stanley Woods
to let Hunt win the Ulster GP. The upshot of this was that Mansell had
warned Woods that if he was not prepared to toe the line he would be
out of job.
|Eventually at the end of the 1933 season Woods did leave, as did Jimmy Simpson. In the end Mansell was able to retain Simpson, although now contracted to use Shell oil, whereas the main Norton team were using Castrol (the oil companies provided much of the rider sponsorship at this time, supplementing a good chunk of a riders yearly salary).
1934 Season
Also new for the 1934 Works bikes were twin spark plugs, with the sparks
coming from a specially made twin spark, single cylinder BTH magneto.
For the road bikes a larger oil supply to
the cambox was included and a flat washer was incorporated at the base
of the bottom vertical bevel chamber, in case any balls should drop
from the ball races in these chambers. I can confirm first hand that
these washers are very important as the bearings are a real pain! They
are of the self centering variety and when assembling it is very easy
to knock them too far off centre, which often can result in a ball dropping
out of the bronze bearing cage. You then try and replace the dropped
ball, only for 10 more to drop out. A royal pain!!
|Final big change for 1934-35 was that Sturmey
Archer (part of the Raleigh empire) stopped making the gearbox's
that up until that time they had been supplying to Norton's. This
was a problem to Norton's as they had no wish to use any of the
main competitors box's of the time, so they bought the rights to
the Sturmey Archer gearbox's and promptly persuaded Burman's
(one of the main rivals!) to make them for Norton. These gearbox's
were so good in design, that internally they were hardly to change for
30 years, and were used for all manner of special's because of their
strength and ease of use.
The only real fault of the pre-war 'Upright' gearboxes (as opposed to the 'Laydown' box's used from 1950) was the upper mounting location. This was a double lug arrangement, with one lug each side of the frame mount. Unless this was a good tight fit around the frame and kept clamped up tight, play would develop and eventually one of the lugs would snap. Like most owners of pre-war Norton's, I have seen numerous old shells with this fault!
Adopting a similar principle for the Sturmey Archer clutch's, they switched to their own design as well. I cover the story of the Norton clutch in a separate section.
|1935 and Continued Success
Updates to the works bikes continued for 1935. As well as the gearbox changes mentioned above, the engines received even more finning and for the first time, a totally enclosed SOHC cambox, using tappets similar to those later employed in the DOHC cambox. A picture of this cambox can be seen in the Line Drawings section. (Incidentally, I have recently seen a beautiful re-creation of one of these cambox's, which may be offered for sale in limited numbers in the near future – let me know if you have an interest, but I doubt they will be cheap!). Other smaller changes included a raise in compression ratio and larger fuel tanks.
The TT that year turned out to be another 1,2,3, in the Junior, with Guthrie leading Rusk and White home in that order. The Senior was a different story though, and caused a major upset. Guthrie was favourite for the win, but Stanley Woods (who had previously been having a rough time since leaving Norton's) was Moto Guzzi mounted and was obviously out to prove a point. Guthrie was away a long time before Woods and up until the last lap held a reasonable lead. However, while he eased off on that last lap, believing Woods still needed to refuel, Woods did the opposite and put in a new lap record at 26min 10sec (without needing to refuel), to bring the Guzzi home to a memorable win.
|Incidentally, 1935 signified the last year
that the Works team would use the Rigid frame, switching to plunger in
It was also in this year that Arthur Carroll, designer of the International engine, met an untimely end, in a tragic road accident riding his very fast 'tweaked' side valve Norton. Some thought this might result in Joe Craigia
For the first time Inters were supplied with Hairpin valve springs as standard. Aluminium bronze cylinder heads were an optional extra (£5 extra, a small fortune then), but it was pointed out that cast iron heads were less prone to worn valve seats. I can vouch for this with my head, having recently had to have remedial work carried out on the seats for this reason.
|The Montlhery Bike
In October 1935, just before the Olympia show, Jimmy Guthrie with Joe Craig, took a very unusual looking 500cc Norton to Montlhery to try and break the 1 hour record. They had tried something similar the previous year, but had only succeeded in taking the 50km and 50 mile records.
Running on alcohol and fitted with a 7 gallon fuel tank (looking very much like a contemporary Brooklands bike) there were to be no mistakes this time, and the 1 hr record was taken at an average speed of 114.09mph, with a fastest lap of 118.26mph. This was despite a fuel leak, impairing Guthries vision and without using the nose fairing that had been tried in the previous year.
As a footnote to this record attempt, Stu Rogers has built a beautiful and very exact replica of this record breaker, including a very close copy of the fuel tank and even the nose fairing. I have seen this bike in his workshop and can confirm it certainly looks the business!
|1936 and the Introduction
of the Spring Frame
For 1936 Plunger rear suspension was used for the first time on the Works bikes. First tried at Brooklands, they employed large diameter springs retained by alloy caps, but no damping. These works frames are easily identified from the later customer frames (1937-38) by their very liberal drilling to the spring casings. To such an extent that they resemble Swiss cheese!
The Brooklands testing was carried out by Crasher White and new team member, Freddie Frith. A 490cc alcohol engine was used, capable of 110mph and this engine was swapped between the spring frame and an older type rigid frame, to give comparison.
White said at the time that he felt it was much more comfortable and seemed to improve handling. Stanley Woods recounted later that he was surprised at the decision for Norton to go with plungers, as the rival Velocette factory had gone with a swinging arm rear suspension at the same time, which he felt gave much better results.
I own a slightly later (1938) customer version of this 'Big Plunger' chassis, which previously belonged to Titch Allen. Titch told me that these frames were renowned for breaking almost everywhere! (even more so than the later Gardendate design), so were constantly having to be repaired and strengthened.
Results speak for themselves though, and at their first outing, the Swiss Grand Prix in May, Jimmy Guthrie won both the Senior and the Junior on the new sprung frame bike.
|Engine Changes
In an effort to extract every ounce of power allowed, that year signified the introduction of a change of bore for the racing machines from 79mm to 79.62mm. This meant the displacement was increased from 490cc to 499cc, as close to the 500cc limit as they could get.
However, changes to the 350cc engine were far more radical with the bore stroke changing from the well known 71 x 88mm to a shorter stroke 73.4 x 82.5mm (resulting in 349cc). This was the first of many bore/stroke changes to Norton racing engines over the coming years, which would make them shorter stroke and take them further away in lineage from their road going counterparts.
This trend towards 'squarer' engines gave a more favourable mean piston speed, resulting in more power and better overall reliability.
Again, heads and barrels gained more finning while an 8 inch brake was employed for the first time, replacing the 7 inch item.
1936 was another great year as far as results were concerned. As well as many continental wins, that years TT resulted in Frith winning the Junior (Guthrie was credited with 5th after receiving a push from a marshal, following a chain jumping the sprocket) and a fantastic win from Guthrie in the Senior. This second race turned out to be a titanic battle between Guthrie on the plunger Norton and Stanley Woods, now Velocette mounted with a new swinging arm chassis, with Guthrie reversing his previous years fortune, and just pipping Woods to the post.
|An interesting observation at the time was
that the TT bikes that year used Bowden carburettors, not the more normal
Amal TT carburettors.
I was given a couple of these unusual carburettors many years ago, by an old friend and previous Gold Star holder, Bob Pike. I remember fitting one to my current road bike of the time, a rather sporty 1955 Norton ES2. What I remember most about it was it spitting back on me, when kickstarting outside the local supermarket. The small fire that ensued resulted in much hand flapping and swearing!
If memory serves me right, it was shortly after that I graciously (!) donated both carbs to Titch and Roger Allen for their replica of the supercharged Wicksteed Triumph, now residing in the Brooklands museum.

Wheelchair Archery
What Is Target Archery?
Wheelchair archery competitors use a target that is a maximum of 48 inches in size with 10 concentric rings positioned 294 feet from the archer. The object for scoring is to hit the center ring or "bullseye". The center ring score is 10 points, with the outer ring being 1 point. The closer to the center the arrow lands the higher the score.
History Of Archery
The earliest arrows date back 64,000 years to South Africa. Eventually bows replaced atlatl as the predominant means to launch sharp projectiles on all continents except Australia.
Civilizations had large numbers of archers in their armies. Archery was an important military and hunting skill before gunpowder.
American Revival Of Archery
After the American Civil War, two Confederate veterans, Will and Maurice Thompson, revived archery in America. Thomas Williams (a former slave) and the two brothers lived in the wild in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. As ex-Confederate soldiers they were not allowed to own guns. They needed other ways to hunt for food. Thomas Williams had some knowledge about the English-style Archery (using a longbow, although it is unclear where he gained this knowledge) and showed Will and Maurice. Later, Maurice wrote a book, "The Witchery of Archery", which became a best seller and people became enthused about the sport of archery.
Formation Of National Association
The National Archery Association was formed in 1879. Public interest soon subsided. It wasn't until 1911 when Ishi (the last of the Yahi Indian tribe) came out of hiding that interest was renewed. He lived the last five years at the University of California at Berkeley Anthropology Museum. His doctor, Saxton Pope, was an instructor of surgery at the medical school. Dr. Pope was interested in Ishi, his culture and archery. Ishi taught him about his culture, how to make the tools the way the Yahi did and how to hunt using a bow and arrow. Ishi died in 1916 of tuberculosis.
Dr. Pope and Arthur Young made several hunting trips and proved that archery could be used to bag large game. They hunted in Alaska and Africa and took several large game animals.
Thus it was proven that archery was effective not only for small game but large game as well, and archery did not lose public interest. Many methods that Ishi taught are still used today by primitive archers.
In the 1920s professional engineers took an interest in archery, a previously exclusive field of traditional craft experts. This led to the commercial development of new forms of bows including the modern recurve, compound and crossbow. These forms are now dominant in Western archery and the traditional bows are not as popular.
In the 1980s the skills of traditional archery have been revived by American enthusiasts and combined with the latest technology. Much can be found in the "Traditional Bowers Bible".
At the present there are wheelchair archery enthusiasts who enjoy hunting large and small game across America. These outdoorsmen are able to get to where they want to go with their special outdoor wheelchairs.
Olympic Competition
Archery and wheelchair archery is an Olympic and Paralympic sport and was represented as early as 1900 at the Paris Olympiad. Perhaps keeping up the tradition of the British skill with bow and arrow the 1908 British Olympic Games saw a Silver and Gold won by sister and brother Lotto and Wily Dod.
Competition has been around since the Stokes-Mandeville Games in England in 1948. There are both standing and wheelchair athletes who compete in men's and women's competitions. The paralympics includes singles, doubles, and team events with competition and scoring procedures identical to the Olympic games.
Wheelchair archery has been in every International Paralympic Games since Rome in 1960. It received international fame as a paralympic sport in 1992 at the Barcelona Games when Paralympian Antonio Rebollo lit the Olympic and Paralympic flames with an arrow.
Wheelchair archery competition is not only for teams or individuals but can be performed in a standing position if disabled.
The governing body for Olympic Target Archery is the Federation of International Target Archery (FITA).
ARST - Archery Standing / In standing the archers have no disbilities in the arms while the legs show some degree of loss of muscle strength, coordination and or joint mobility.
ARW1 - Archery Wheelchair 1 / This class completes from a wheelchair and the archers have limited range of movement, strength and control of their arms and poor or nonexistent control of their legs.
ARW2 - Archery Wheelchair 2 / Archers in this classification are paralyzed in the lower part of their body and complete in a wheelchair.
Sports Equipment
Paralympic athletes use a recurve bow. These bows can be made of wood, graphite, fiberglass or carbon composites. Arrows are either carbon graphite or aluminum.
Bow lengths vary in size and length. It is generally recommended that individuals in wheelchairs use a 48 inch bow.
Wheelchair archery athletes require no equipment modifications, however are allowed to position themselves at a 90 degree angle from the target and can remove the armrest to allow increased draw of the bow string.
The wheelchair archery athlete uses seat and back cushions with restrictions on thickness. In general back cushion are 5 centimeters in thickness and seat cushions to 15 centimeters. Other adaptive equipment used includes chest straps, and universal cuffs to assist in holding the bow, bow sling, amputee adapter device, and an adapted archery bow.

Chiefs pile misery on Downs
Posted: 11 January 2009 Time: 17:23
Nigerian striker Zito Ogbonna scored his fifth League goal for Kaizer Chiefs as they claimed a precious 1-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Johannesburg Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The game never quite lived up to its pre-match billing, but Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral will be relieved to have got his side back to winning ways after four games without a victory.
For Downs boss Henri Michel, it is now just two wins in 10 games as their season continues to go from bad to worse.
A blisteringly hot day and the long grass on the pitch did not help the players and at times, even in the first half, both sides seemed to coast through the game as the players caught their breath.
New boy Abia Nale provided a chance for Ogbonna on 15 minutes, but the striker slipped at the vital moment and Downs were able to clear.
Josta Dladla had the best two chances of the opening period. The first came as he beat the offside trap, but couldn't hook the ball over the onrushing Itumeleng Khune in the Chiefs goal, with the minder managing to block his effort right on the very edge of the box.
Excellent play from Derrick Spencer down the lefthand side then set Dladla up with a clear sight of goal 15 yards out, but the winger showed poor technique as he lent back in the shot and the ball flew high and wide of the goal.
Sundowns had the better of the first half, but in the end each side managed just one shot on target each and the goalkeepers were mere spectators for much of the opening period.
The home side should have been ahead five minutes into the second half. Sibusiso Zuma reached the by-line and provided an inch-perfect cross for Collins Mbesuma, who, with the goal at his mercy, made only slight contact with the ball and Chiefs were able to clear.
Zuma fired in a terrific shot from 25-yards that had Khune diving to his right and saving well, while at the other end Jose Torrealba's header from the edge of the box just went wide, though Calvin Marlin appeared to have the effort covered.
But the deadlock was finally broken in the 80th minute when Ogbonna was left totally unmarked in the box and powered a header from Nale's cross goalwards, leaving Marlin with no chance.
And just minutes later it was almost 2-0 when Nale's excellent right-footed shot from 30-yards cannoned back off the post and away to safety.

LAMONT CONGO, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA BOARD OF PROBATION AND PAROLE, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole in the case of Lamont Congo, Parole No. 4028H.
Lamont Congo, petitioner, for himself.
Arthur R. Thomas, Assistant Chief Counsel, with him, Robert A. Greevy, Chief Counsel, for respondent.
John C. Armstrong, Assistant Public Defender, Parole Division, for Office of Public Defender.
Judges Craig and Palladino, and Senior Judge Barbieri, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Senior Judge Barbieri.
Author: Barbieri
[ 104 Pa. Commw. Page 512]
In this parole revocation appeal, we are called upon to determine whether the appeal of Petitioner, Lamont Congo, is "wholly frivolous" so as to entitle his appointed counsel leave to withdraw. Congo appealed an order of the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole (Board) that recommitted him as a convicted parole violator to serve the entire remaining balance of his unexpired term, seven years, three months, and thirteen days. It is counsel's petition for leave to withdraw that is before the Court at this time.
The following facts are pertinent to our disposition of counsel's petition. On November 9, 1981, while on parole, Congo and a friend, Raymond King, were involved in an altercation with one Robert Hendericks. Hendericks and King had fought previously with King being the loser. Congo tried unsuccessfully to shoot Hendericks and passed the gun to King who then succeeded in shooting Hendericks. Hendericks subsequently died of his wounds. Congo was arrested on May 25, 1982, and charged with Murder*fn1 and Possession of an Instrument of Crime.*fn2 He was convicted of Third Degree Murder and Possession of an Instrument of Crime in Philadelphia County Common Pleas Court on December 16, 1982. In the meantime, the Board asserted that he had violated conditions 5B*fn3 and 5C*fn4 of his parole.
[ 104 Pa. Commw. Page 513]
On January 9, 1985, he was given a parole Violation/Revocation Hearing before a quorum of the Board at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford (SCI-Graterford). Following that hearing, the Board, by order dated February 26, 1985, revoked his parole and recommited him as a technical parole violator for thirty-six months and as a convicted parole violator for the entire balance of his unexpired term. The Board also extended the maximum term expiration date of his original sentence to June 4, 1992.
On June 16, 1986, Congo sought administrative relief and reconsideration of the Board's February 26, 1985, order that recommitted him as a technical parole violator in light of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Rivenbark v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 509 Pa. 248, 501 A.2d 1110 (1985). On June 20, 1986, the Board partially granted the relief he requested by vacating its prior recommitment as a technical parole violator but now required him to serve his entire unexpired term as a convicted parole violator for his murder conviction. He appealed that decision contending the Board should have reduced his backtime by thirty-six months and moved up his re-parole eligibility date accordingly. We appointed the Montgomery County Public Defender to represent him pursuant to Bronson v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 491 Pa. 549, 421 A.2d 1021 (1980), cert. denied, 450 U.S. 1050 (1981), since he was incarcerated in SCI-Graterford, in Montgomery County. Following his review of the record, counsel has petitioned for leave to withdraw under our decision in Craig v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 93 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 586, 502 A.2d 758 (1985), on the ground that Congo's appeal is wholly frivolous. See generally Wile, The Right to Counsel Under Pennsylvania Law in State Parole Revocation Hearings, 91 Dick. L.R. 151, 182-183 (1986).
[ 104 Pa. Commw. Page 514]
In reviewing a petition by counsel for leave to withdraw based upon the alleged frivolity of an appeal, we must first ascertain whether counsel has complied with the technical requirements of Craig. In this case, we are satisfied that counsel has done so. Counsel has filed a petition for leave to withdraw as well as an Anders*fn5 brief, both of which have been served upon Congo. Counsel has also informed him of his right to procure substitute counsel or to file a pro se brief raising any points he may deem worthy of merit. Finally, Congo has been provided with thirty days in which to respond to counsel's petition either by the filing of a pro se brief or the procurement of substitute counsel and has duly filed a ...

After receiving a complimentary bottle of Huiji Waist Tonic (from Singapore Home Cooks and Huiji), I read through the ingredients and learnt that Huiji is made with 6 different kinds of premium-quality herbs, Cordyceps, Ginseng, Du Zhong, Dang Gui, Shou Wu and Da Zao.
So I thought Huiji would be a good alternative to actual herbs used in Emperor Herbal Chicken.
In addition to Huiji, I only added dried huai shan, red date and goji berries to the broth as I happen to have these ingredients in my fridge (cannot remember when or where I got them!).
It's really simple to whip up! There are only 3 of us in the family and we prefer chicken leg than a whole chicken so it makes this dish even easier to prepare. Just rub salt all over the chicken legs, leave for 10 mins, rinse and pat dry. In a cooking pot, combine chicken stock, huiji waist tonic, dried huai shan, red date, goji berries and rock sugar. Bring to boil and simmer till rock sugar is melted. Make corn starch slurry and add to the broth to thicken it slightly.
Line aluminum foil and cooking paper over a heat-proof pot or bowl, place chicken legs into the lined pot and pour the broth over the chicken. Wrap up the chicken and place the pot into a steamer with rapid boiling water. Steam the paper wrap chicken for 2hrs and it's ready to serve!
Huiji Paper Wrap Chicken 汇集纸包鸡
- 3 kampong chicken legs
- 250ml (1 cup) chicken stock
- 100ml Huiji Waist Tonic
- 5 pcs dried huai shan
- 5 pcs red date
- 1 tbsp goji berries
- 40g rock sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch + 2 tbsp water
- Rub salt all over chicken legs, leave for 10 mins, rinse and pat dry. Set aside.
- In a sauce pot, add chicken stock, Huiji, dried huai shan, red date, goji berries and rock sugar. Bring the mixture to boil and simmer till rock sugar is melted.
- Add corn starch slurry to thicken the broth.
- Line a heat-proof pot or bowl with aluminum foil and cooking paper. Place the chicken legs inside. Pour the broth over the chicken legs.
- Wrap up the cooking paper and aluminum foil tightly.
- Place the pot/bowl into a steamer with rapid boiling water. Steam for 2hrs and the chicken is ready to be served.
When I served this dish for dinner, the HB thought that I had used one of those commercial Emperor Herbal Chicken packs, which shows that the taste is actually similar :) Haha. In fact, I thought it tastes even better! With Huiji Waist Tonic, I don't have to buy those premix anymore! The broth is so flavourful that once again I ate more rice than usual :p
This recipe is another keeper for me!

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson
Take one slightly OCD supervillain with a penchant for science, one golden knight who works for the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics, and one superbad shape-shifter girl.
Swirl it all with a heavy dose of sarcastic humor, a heaping of death and destruction, and a taste of the days of Lancelot with a hint of today's science technology.
Read for a day (or two) and you'll see what an OUTSTANDING graphic novel this is!!
Ballister Blackheart is a supervillain. He's created not only a name but a reputation for being the nemesis of the kingdom's golden boy, Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin (and the humor begins...). They've been fighting for years because of a joust gone wrong and nothing will mend the friendship they once shared.
And then along comes Nimona. Such a cute girl with red hair...and a penchant to want to destroy, kill and maim. She's a shapeshifter, and can replicate into anything in order to help Sir Blackheart take over the kingdom. But there are a few slight problems.
He wants control and order, she lives in chaos.
He's not into hurting or killing people, she doesn't think twice about not doing it.
He's a seasoned veteran, who's been working on his reputation for awhile. She's a young newbie, with lots of enthusiasm and curiosity.
Together, they are beginning to tear the kingdom apart (even though she's allergic to bananas and can hardly watch a scary movie), especially after they find out what the Institution is truly up to.
The Director assigns Sir Goldenloin the task of killing the girl and capturing Blackheart, but he's not sure he can do it. Go against the Institution and lose his place of glory or kill a little kid? What's a knight to do?
Stevenson creates a graphic novel which not only tells a great story, but also brings about fits of laughter. Her art is a spot-on delivery of building and creating characters and their personalities the reader understand through through the artwork Stevenson creates. She carries it forward not only through artwork, but the subtle ways the characters interact and speak to each other all while an exciting tale is told. No wonder this was nominated for the National Book Award....it's truly an excellent GN! HIGHLY recommended for JH/HS

We will be reading Nimona for our Teen Book Club in 2016 and the price was very reasonable since we purchase the books for the teens. Very cool book!

Happy Holidays to you all!
I am here to share a card I made using the new Winter Stamp Kit.
This adorable Henry was colored with copics, cut out, and popped up with some pop dots to give him dimension.
I love the sentiment because I believe Christmas is a magical time of year.

Year of New Beer: Double Crooked Tree IPA, Dark Horse Brewing (MI)
Written By: Dion on 05/02/2012
Got this in a trade with TW in Indy, so I'm not sure of the age on this bottle, but the aromas are much sweeter and more caramel-like than expected. Hop intensity fades with age, and this one is dialed back a bit, but still some juicy grapefruit & floral notes present. Walking the line between Double IPA and barleywine, I believe.

Thanksgiving, 1985, is a good time for wine drinkers to reflect on America the bountiful. Viking explorers once called this continent Vinland and now vines are grown and wines are made from sea to shining sea.
The explosion of interest in wine since 1970 almost has tripled the number of wineries in California, from 240 to 662. Outside California the growth is equally dramatic.

I'm late, but I'm here. I'm actually finishing a two-week stay with my parents in Maryland, and being back in the US has been such a wonderful experience. I'm a little afraid of what my reaction will be when I get back, but we'll just have to see.
So back to the reason for the post. It's Tuesday!! This week's Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Elizabeth of Cake or Death? Be sure to check out her site for this yummy recipe.
This was a really great recipe for me. I've always liked bread pudding, and this one did not disappoint. It had the yummy custardy flavor and texture of bread pudding, but it had an added bonus of a delicious apple center. My dad commented that this bread pudding felt a lot lighter than ones he had previously eaten. I think this is mostly due to the addition of the apples and the fact that the bread is separated, so you don't get one big chunk of custardy bread. Just another reason to praise Dorie for her superior baking skills. We are in awe.
I apologize for the less than ideal pictures but it was a sad rainy day today, and I didn't get this done in time to have even minimal lighting. Oopsie. But don't let the bad pictures deter you. This is yummy. And especially good with ice cream (which I homemade, but I'll leave that to another post.)
But be sure to check out the other TWDers who made this recipe. I'm sure their pictures will more than convince you to make this.
And for just a FYI on my pregnancy update, I got to hear my little one's heartbeat today. So exciting, so special.

The Capitol of Virginia was designed by Thomas Jefferson and constructed in 1788. It is over 215 years-old and is the second-oldest state capitol in continuous use in the United States of America. A picture of the original Capitol is to the right.
In 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified in the Old House Chamber. Aaron Burr was also tried and acquitted of treason in the old House Chamber in 1807.
The Capitol also served as the Capitol of the Confederacy during the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee accepted his commission to head the Army of Northern Virginia in the Old House Chamber of the building.
In 1906, the Capitol Building was substantially modified by the adding of side wings and an $83 million renovation was completed in 2007. A picture of the new Capitol is to the left.
The Rotunda in the Capitol also features a life-sized status of the 44th District's most famous resident, George Washington, sculpted by Jean Antoine-Houdon. It is the only statue that George Washington modeled for during his lifetime.
Tour Information
Please note the new public entrance at Bank and 10th streets is handicapped accessible. Ramps and elevators are available to assist visitors with special needs to both the original 1788 Capitol and the 1906 wings.

Using the eDirectory Management Toolbox
Novell Cool Solutions: Feature
By Jim Henderson
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 13 Dec 2002
Now you've done it; you've taken the next giant leap in your eDirectory journey, and have upgraded to eDirectory 8.7. Along with eDirectory 8.7, of course, you wanted to have the latest tools, so you installed the eDirectory 8.7 web applications, which included iManager 1.5. Everything is set, and you are ready to manage your entire directory service from your favorite browser. Good-bye, command-line tools, good-bye ConsoleOne, good-bye NetWare Administrator. Hello, iManager 1.5, hello iMonitor, hello....
eMbox Client?
That's right, the eMbox Client -- "eMbox" is a concatenation of "eDirectory Management Toolbox". This neat little tool really packs a punch and is, in fact, well documented with online help and with its own online documentation pages. But if you are like me and neglected to read any of the eDirectory 8.7 documentation, you have probably overlooked this very powerful tool. Even more startling, however, is that even if you didn't know it was there, if you use iManager 1.5, you've already been using eMbox.
That's right -- eMbox provides a lot of the functionality that is exposed through the iManager 1.5 web interface. This tool can be invoked either on the server or on a workstation, as it is written in Java, and operates as a batch command or through an interactive text interface. But even if you are familiar with the eMbox Client, you will want to continue reading, because there's some functionality hidden away that will make your life a whole lot easier when using this tool.
The command-line interface for this tool is pretty straightforward. And if you're used to command-line functionality, long command lines are something you are very familiar with. For example, the command (typed on a single line):
java -ns embox -s 127.0.0.1 -p 8008 -u admin.mycompany -w mypassword -t backup.backup -f backupfile.bak -l dsbackup.log -s 300 -t -e -b
Logs into the local server as admin.mycompany with the password mypassword, and starts the backup tool to run a full directory services backup (including stream files and security files) log to dsbackup.log, and limits the backup file size to 300 MB.
For most of us mere mortals, however, remembering all of these different options is just a bit cumbersome. There are so many options available in eMbox that can be submitted on command-lines or in the internal batch file or system batch file that it would take years to learn all of the different options and what they apply to.
Fortunately, there is a very Cool Solution to help get these options correct the first time, every time, and get the command to do what you want it to do. And the bonus is that you don't have to download anything -- the solution is right there inside the eMboxClient.jar file you installed with iManager 1.5, just waiting to be discovered.
Say hello to the eMbox GUI Client.
That's right; Novell's developers included a Java-based GUI right in the client. At this time it is not officially supported by Novell and is completely undocumented, however the usage is pretty straightforward and -- this is the beauty of it -- there's an option to tell you what the command line that goes after the -t parameter needs to be to accomplish the task you wish to accomplish.
To use the eMbox client, you need to have Sun's JVM 1.3.1 installed on the server or workstation you wish to use. There is a launcher executable or NCF (depending on the platform you are running eDirectory on) called edirtool.ncf (NetWare), edirtool.exe (Windows), or just edirtool (Linux and Solaris) that launches the JVM with the appropriate command-line options to start the client. If you want to run on a different platform, the easiest way to do this is to use the command-line:
java -cp path/to/eMBoxClient.jar embox
Note: For NetWare, you need to include an -ns parameter after the java command in order to prevent an abend; the -ns option creates a new screen on the NetWare server for the JVM's messages to be displayed in. Also, be sure the '/' characters above are appropriate for the operating system you are running on; on Windows and NetWare, you will want to use the '\' character instead.
And either add the parameters for the task you wish to accomplish, a -i (to run in interactive mode), or a -g (to run the undocumented GUI).
So on a Linux workstation, we can launch the eMbox GUI Client with the command:
java -cp /NetWare/nw6/sys/system/embox/eMBoxClient.jar embox -g
This gives us the following window:
In order to see the different options that are available, you have to log in. Press the login button and enter the distinguished name of your administrative user account, such as admin.mycompany and your password. The SSL box should be left unchecked for now. The port number defaults to 80 if no value is installed; on a NetWare installation of eDirectory 8.7, you usually find this on port 8008; the eMbox documentation describes how to determine what the port number you should use, but port 80 is usually not going to be correct. Once you are logged in correctly, the window will look like this:
Now you can expand the different tools and see the different options that are available to you. For example, under the dsrepair control are 22 different dsrepair tools, from running a full unattended repair to repairing a single object. For each of these tools, different function options are displayed in the right-hand pane in a form you can fill in with appropriate values. Once the options are filled in, you can run the command right from the GUI, and the status will be returned in the status window in the bottom pane.
By now you are probably wondering how this helps you build the long, complicated command-line commands; you're thinking "sure, I can run commands from here and not have to remember all those different switches, but I need to run these with CRON.NLM or from one of the batch files you talked briefly about earlier."
Under the Settings menu, there are two options -- Show Command Line and Advanced Mode. The first of these two options will change the layout a little; let's select to do a local database repair and see what the window looks like.
As you can see, there's a new window here entitled Command line that shows the options you've selected using the GUI in command line form. You can easily copy the command line from this window and paste it into your batch file or CRON script.
Note: These are the parameters after the -t parameter if you are using the command-line client, so you need to start the JVM and provide the login information if the command requires it, as was shown in the command-line earlier in the article that showed how to run a backup with various options.
As of this writing, it appears that the Advanced Mode item activates options similar to those activated with the -A command-line switch for DSREPAIR.NLM; as with using the switch with DSREPAIR, this should only be done if you absolutely know what you are doing.
So, that's a quick rundown of the eMbox GUI Client. Now there's no excuse for not setting your systems up to regularly run the tasks necessary to ensure your directory is healthy -- at least, you can't say that the command-line needed to run the tasks is just too complicated.
