Top Line
Ask Rep. Tulsi Gabbard why she supports the military's new policy to allow women to serve in combat roles, and the Iraq war veteran speaks from experience.
"I can tell you during my deployment, there were missions that I-- volunteered for and was not allowed to go on, simply because I'm a woman," Gabbard, D-Hawaii, tells Top Line. "They said, 'Sorry, no. No girls allowed.'"
Gabbard served in Iraq and says the military's policy shift is much more than symbolic.
"What we see in the policy change now…is just a reflection of what women have already been doing in the military," she says. "And it'll now open those doors so that we can have women serving in positions of leadership and within units where previously they were not allowed."
Gabbard also brings a first-hand perspective to the issue of sexual assault in the military, saying she "heard and saw incidents" of sexual assault within her military camp when she was in Iraq.
"We got issued rape whistles so that as we walk out of our tent or walk out of our hooch, we've got our body armor, we've got our helmet, our weapon, and we've got our rape whistle," Gabbard recalls. "It was an eye-opening experience to have to consider that fact when we're serving overseas in Iraq and…this is a risk or a danger that exists."
On Capitol Hill, Gabbard, a freshman representative at age 32, says she sees a "great opportunity" to work with "the next generation of leaders being elected."
She adds that there's a "collective impatience" among younger members of Congress, and she has joined the United Solutions Caucus, a bipartisan caucus composed of mostly young, rising representatives.
"It's been relationship-building, but also very substantive to say, hey, in these issues of job creation, of healthcare, of reducing the deficit, we've got to be able to find areas that we can agree on," Gabbard says of the caucus.
For more of the interview with Gabbard, and to hear why she says sexual assault is undermining the military's values, check out this episode of Top Line.
ABC's Cindy Smith, John Parkinson, Eric Wray, Alexandra Dukakis, Betsy Klein and Dick Norling contributed to this episode.

City council members voted Monday to save a lot of cash by changing liability insurance providers. Department heads are hoping they still have the same coverage.
Making the switch from the Michigan Municipal League (MML) insurance plan to one provided by Berends, Hendricks and Stuit Insurance Agency will save the city $7,000 in each of the next three years.
Additional savings could be realized due to the $250 deductible cost in collision insurance compared to $1,000 from MML. The city's claims for collision coverage are generally below $1,000, said city clerk/administrator Renée Schroeder.
A year ago, the city paid $47,000 to MML for liability insurance coverage. This year's bid came in at $39,800. Berends, Hendricks and Stuit (BHS), based in Grandville, Mich., gave a bid of $32,800 and guaranteed that rate for three years if the city wishes to renew the contract.
"The last time we went with someone else, it was a big pain for me," said fire chief Chad Schisler.
Schroeder knew he would be concerned about allowing children to ride on fire trucks during parades, but she checked that issue with BHS and learned it wouldn't be a problem.
BHS was also aware that Morenci provides coverage in a portion of Ohio, but that was acceptable to them, also.
Police chief Larry Weeks said that he also has concerns about leaving MML because he would be leaving behind valuable resources the company offers.
Weeks said the company has a person on staff who is very familiar with law enforcement issues. Weeks has obtained assistance with policy questions, employee-related concerns and civil liability issues.
Schroeder said BHS also has a support person on staff. She acknowledged a "comfort level" with Michigan Municipal League, also, but after reviewing the BHS proposal, she's expecting comparable service.
"For the cost savings, I think it's worth a try," she said.
"I realize we need to save money," Chief Weeks said. "I just want council to understand what we're receiving now."
Schisler was also concerned about replacement cost coverage on city equipment, noting that the cost of purchasing a new fire truck far exceeds the prices paid in the past for the existing fleet of vehicles.
Schroeder said BHS offers the same replacement costs as MML: for fire trucks only and not other city equipment.
With councilors Keith Pennington and Jason Bryant absent, council members vote 5-0 to accept a one-year contract with Berends, Hendricks and Stuit.

Highway 101 is the pits. From Morgan Hill through the South Bay all the way to Candlestick Park. More than 63 miles of it.
For the first time since Roadshow's annual Dirty Dozen list of readers' most complained-about traffic problems made its debut a decade ago, the top spot is not a single problem area — it's an entire stretch of freeway. There are so many bad spots on 101 that it's hard to isolate one as the worst.
"It takes me between 35 to 45 minutes to get between Woodside Road and San Antonio Road in the morning," groaned Patrick Hollister of Redwood Shores. He's talking about a measly seven miles.
"What is going on with the carpool lane on 101 north between Story Road and 880?" asked Shehnaz Khan of San Jose, saying traffic crawls along at the same pace as the regular lanes until 880. "Is there any way around it?"
Dream on.
Highway 101 was the runaway No. 1 ranking this year in our annual Dirty Dozen survey, based on the hundreds of calls, emails and faxes that roll into Roadshow each week. The list could very well change down the road, now that the column has extended its coverage into northern Alameda County, Contra Costa County and a little of the North Bay. The Caldecott Tunnel leaped to the No. 2 spot.
"It gets clogged terribly," said Don Pomplun of San Ramon on the notorious Highway 24 tunnel that connects Contra Costa County to Oakland.
Howls also are roaring in over the new toll lanes at Highway 237 and Interstate 880, No. 3 this year. The 280-880 mess at Valley Fair came in No. 4, followed by northbound I-680 through Fremont, where a carpool lane is desperately needed. The Bay Bridge crawl came in No. 6.
Interstate 580 through the Livermore Valley is no picnic. The same is true of I-880 from Oakland to the South Bay. So is 101 really the toughest grind?
Believe it, say a couple of guys who monitor Bay Area traffic every day.
"Highway 101 is by far the worst," said Stan Burford, KGO's chief traffic reporter, saying he would include 101 as far as into Sonoma County on top of the Dirty Dozen list.
Added his counterpart at KLIV, John McLeod: "Highway 101 is definitely at the top of the heap."
There's a lack of metering lights (Morgan Hill and Palo Alto), antiquated interchanges (Capitol Expressway, Highway 87, Willow Road, Poplar Avenue and Highway 92), a carpool lane that ends in Redwood City, potholes galore north of Candlestick and just too many cars from one end to the other. Slow, slower and still slower it goes.
The most difficult spot may be the 85-101 interchange in Mountain View, where drivers often cut into exit lanes, then jump back onto the freeway in a desperate try to save a few precious minutes. The exit to Shoreline Boulevard toward the Google campus is a real time waster.
This is tough to swallow. The 85-101 interchange and the exit to Shoreline were built just six years ago — at $125 million the most expensive interchange in Silicon Valley. It's new, but it's jammed.
Over the past two decades, as planners saw the freeway surge coming on the main route into and out of Silicon Valley from the South County and the Peninsula, more than $2 billion has been spent to widen the freeway, add merging lanes, rebuild interchanges, install metering lights, put down new water-resistant pavement and make other improvements.
And more is coming. Work on new merging lanes between Highway 85 in Mountain View and the San Mateo County line will begin in a few months. The carpool lane will be turned into an express or toll lane between Morgan Hill and Redwood City in several more years, and in some spots a second carpool lane will be added adjacent to the existing lane.
There is also talk of converting the fast lane in San Mateo County into a carpool lane — something that has not been done in California in more than three decades, since the Santa Monica Freeway debacle on I-10.
There was such an uproar from solo drivers who lost a lane that Caltrans' philosophy ever since has been to add carpool lanes only if they are new, extra lanes. But 101 is so bad that policy may be rethought.
Despite the many problems with our roads, there are a few reasons to cheer.
To the delight of many, numerous freeways have been repaved — 17, 85, 580, 680 and 880. And there is a major surprise on the list of the 12 best improvements: Interstate 680 south from the I-580 interchange to Fremont ranked among the most complained-about roads a year ago. But in the past few months, I've heard barely a peep — except for complaints about speeders in the toll lane.
"Those of us that drive 680 from the Tri-Valley area have noticed things have changed this year," said Ross Berckmoes, of Pleasanton. "Traffic in the morning coming in and in the evening going out has been lighter. Much lighter than it has been for a couple of years. We are puzzled."
There may be a reason. When traffic gets so bad, drivers change habits and look for a carpool or another route, or they leave earlier or later to beat the grind. That may be a sound strategy on some roads, but not, it seems, on 101.
Pity the unaware. When Peter King of Sports Illustrated came here to cover the 49ers-Giants playoff game three weeks ago, he suffered the agony that is the Bayshore and the Monday after the game wrote in his "dislikes" column:
"Traffic on U.S. 101 at 4:20 p.m. Friday. In rain varying from steady to a heavy mist, it took me two hours and 55 minutes to drive from the 49ers headquarters in Santa Clara to my hotel in downtown San Francisco. One crazy, maddening ride."
Tell us about it.
Contact Gary Richards at email@example.com or 408-920-5335.
Here are some of the improvements planned for Highway 101.
1. Convert carpool lanes into express (toll) lanes from Morgan Hill to Whipple Road in Redwood City.
2. Begin work on Capitol Expressway ramps in spring or summer.
3. Complete Tully interchange work this spring.
4. Continue to plan second southbound exit lane to Highway 87.
5. Merging lanes, metering lights coming from Highway 85 to San Mateo County line to be done later this year.
6. Begin merging lane work this spring from Marsh Road to Embarcadero Road in San Mateo County.
7. Continue study to consider converting fast lane into a carpool lane from Redwood City to San Francisco.
8. Rebuild Broadway interchange.
9. Study to be done on what changes to make at Highway 92 interchange.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Manischewitz Concord Grape Wine
Will Gordon drinks his way through the bottom shelf of the liquor store...so you don't have to.
Last night the Red Sox managed to blow the final game of the season in high style, which means they didn't make the playoffs and thereby allowed my fellow Sox fans to get an early start on writing their epic poems about What It All Means.
Nothing, dummies. It means nothing. It's baseball. Baseball is awesome, but it doesn't have any larger meaning. It's like brown mustard that way. Just enjoy it till it's gone, then turn your attention to football or yellow mustard, which are not quite as good but plenty good enough.
But even though baseball doesn't mean a thing, it can still piss me off mightily. Grumble! Watching your team blow a 9-game lead in the last month of the season is like accidentally painting your pants with the brown mustard that was much better situated on your hot dog or in the palm of your hand. It's disappointing, man. That's why I will spend this interminable baseball winter trying to switch allegiances to a less frustrating team.
Last season I followed the San Diego Padres about as closely as an East Coaster can, because my friend worked for them and I'd met a bunch of Padres during spring training in Arizona. They were all friendly, and it's fun to root for underdogs. But then last winter that friend jumped ship to the Arizona Diamondbacks—who went from last place to first place, due largely to the new assistant to the general manager being my friend, so let's all take a moment to congratulate them and me—and I didn't have the energy to learn a new batch of names and numbers, so I abandoned the Padres, continued to ignore the Diamondbacks, and was stuck with these deeply unlikable Red Sox.
I would be unsportsmanlike to adopt the Diamondbacks now that they're winners, so I'll need a new team of underdogs to root for. Minneapolis looks like my kind of city, and I like the Twins uniform colors. Or maybe Kansas City. I'll think more on that throughout the fall and winter, but right now I need to turn my attention to more pressing matters of loyalty-shifting: My very limited understanding of the Jewish calendar suggests I have between now and sundown to decide if this is the year I sign up in time to celebrate what's left of Rosh Hashanah.
Just kidding. I'm not going to join a religion. But if I had to and my decision were based strictly on the holidays—and it would be—then I think Judaism would have to be a serious contender. A lot of the holidays seem to involve serious repentance and less gluttony than the Christian holidays I grew up with, but I think I might trade all that for the chance at an extra New Year. My favorite secular holiday is New Year's Day, and I have to respect any belief system that builds another fresh start into the calendar.
(It's been brought to my attention that some more observant strains of Judaism ignore the Roman calendar and therefore don't acknowledge the January New Year. Well, I think of myself as more the bacon cheeseburger-eating type of prospective convert, so I'd shop around for a temple that allowed me to double up on the happier holidays.)
If the Jewish grandfather I've never met shows up tonight to mourn the death of the Red Sox and celebrate the birth of the new year, I will serve him kosher wine until he's buzzed enough to switch to something a little less sticky than the Manischewitz Concord Grape I picked up the other day. I'm a sucker for grape-flavored candies and punches, so I can't say that the Manischewitz tastes bad to me, but it doesn't really taste like proper wine, either.
It's very soft and sweet, and if I didn't pour it myself I'd suspect it was the kind of fancy-bottled nonalcoholic grape juice served to children and pregnant ladies. I tend to drink wine a little too fast, so I appreciate the low alcohol content (11 percent) and low price ($6).
If I were really looking to kosher up my liver, I'd explore the wider range of Manischewitz bottlings, many of which are purported to be less sugary than the Concord. I've never had Concord wine, so I'm not qualified to pin the stickiness on the producer; maybe it's just the nature of the grape to taste pretty Welchy. Can any of you heathens point a seeker toward more gratifying baseball teams or kosher wines?

–Please Note – This fragrance may also work in countless other applications. The uses above are simply those products that we lab tested this fragrance in. For other uses, it is recommended to test a small amount prior to full scale use. All of our fragrance oils are intended for external use only and should not be ingested under any circumstances.
Juicy ripened plums with a little bit of spicy for a twist that would make a sweet holiday blend.
Suggested Usage Rates
Bulk Apothecary only sells the finest quality ingredients and our Spicy Plum Pudding fragrance oil is no different. All of our oils are custom blended by a team of perfumers that are industry veterans with the knowledge and experience to ensure quality and consistency that is unmatched in our opinion. Furthermore our state of the art facility houses one of the largest stock inventories of fragrance oils in the nation making our signature fragrances available at wholesale pricing to the general public without lengthy lead times.
Spicy Plum Pudding Fragrance Oil
Many people ask us what makes our oils so much different from the competition. The little known secret is that many large suppliers of fragrances dilute their oils with cheaper carriers to increase their profit margin. This is often done at the manufacturing level and allows some suppliers to sell their product at prices that are occasionally lower than our wholesale price. These elevated carrier levels drastically affect product quality and In many cases will force you to use as much as 5-10 times the fragrance oil that you would need with our top quality oils. Our Spicy Plum Pudding fragrance oil can typically scent much more product than any other supplier we've evaluated. That's the Bulk Apothecary difference!

While i confess to never having ever smelled--let alone tasted plum pudding, so i can not comment on fragrance accuracy, i DO say that this fragrance is really yummy and fruity. I was expecting a little more "spice", given the name, but regardless it is still great!
Posted by Jo Ann Sumner on 25th Oct 2016
My sister and I love this smell. It's not over powering, but sweet as a plum pie. Once we put it in the oil mixture it did speed trace up a lot. So we had to act fast.

DIY is a key source of aggravation among households in the South East.
A survey conducted by The Co-operative Insurance has found 43 per cent of people have argued with a loved one about fixing up the home.
Jobs being left unfinished was the top reason for disagreements among homeowners with other quarrels caused by disputes over cost or being sick of waiting for a partner to start a task.
The top five reasons are listed below:
1)Because they got sick of waiting for their partner to do the DIY
2)Because their loved one started a job and didn't finish
3)Disagreement over cost
4)Because the job ended up in disaster
5)Disagreement over how the job should be done
The survey also found almost two thirds of people in the South East refuse to clean out their gutters themselves and more than a third won't put up any pictures.
Around 25 per cent won't change a light bulb and half won't attempt to put up shelves themselves.
Across the UK there is a similar trend with 53 per cent of people who don't do DIY admitting they would rely on partners to do everything from changing a light bulb to laying flooring.
Almost a quarter said their nearest and dearest had refused to help them with DIY tasks whilst one in ten said they are too busy themselves.
One in 20 have declined to help because they had 'DIY fatigue', meaning they had been asked to lend a hand too many times, whilst 33 per cent said not knowing how to do the jobs was the main reason for not attempting the work.
Other reasons include preferring to pay someone to do it, 18 per cent, or having tried to do jobs before and it ending in disaster, 17 per cent.
Caroline Hunter, head of home insurance at The Co-operative Insurance, said: "Updating your home can be a rewarding experience, whether it's doing the work yourself or calling in friends, family or a local tradesperson to help.
"However, we would always urge people to consider the possible implications of DIY going wrong.
"We would recommend that people double-check what their home insurance covers in advance of carrying out any work and assess whether it covers all of their needs.
"While accidental damage insurance provides peace of mind in case of any spills or damage to the home, it is additional cover and should be considered ahead of planning more complex DIY tasks. It's just as important to check that any tradespeople coming into your home have the relevant insurance in case they have any accidents or cause damage to the property. Having the right insurance in place will ensure there is less to argue about if things don't go to plan!"
Other statistics found in the survey are listed below:
Top DIY tasks where paid help is needed across the UK for major jobs include:
1) Electric wiring (60%)
2) Roofing (59%)
3) Plastering (55%)
4) Fixing a leaking pipe (44%) = Laying wooden/laminate flooring (44%)
5) Tiling (40%)
Top DIY tasks where paid help is need across the UK for minor jobs:
1) Putting up an exterior light (33%)
2) Fixing a leaking tap (30%)
3) Wallpapering (26%) = Fixing garden fencing (26%) = Unblocking gutters (26%)
4) Grouting (23%)
5) Unblocking a drain (18%)

In Kathryn Lasky's Dear America, Hope in My Heart, a 9 year old girl named Sofia, emigrates from Italy, to America. While at Ellis Island, Sofia gets detained, and separated from her family! When Sofia looks up at the Statue of Liberty, the sun goes into her eyes, and her eyes get red. The doctors think that she has trachoma. And that's how Sofia ends up in the Ellis Island hospital. You'll have to read the book to see if Sofia gets deported! I don't want to spoil the ending!
I was so happy and relieved when Sofia meets a friend at the hospital. That was my favorite part because it reminded me of when I met my best friend, Charlotte.
I loved reading this book, because it gave me a window into the hardships experienced by the immigrants coming to America in the 1900's. This book reminded me of the many immigrant books Mrs. Diglio read us in class.
Curious and anxious people will love this book because you never know what will happen next. I recommend this book to anyone who loves history, adventure and heartache.

The company was contradicting a report in German business newspaper Handelsblatt that Enercon "is already thinking about building a works in southern Germany".
However, an Enercon spokesman said: "There are currently no firm plans at Enercon to build a factory in southern Germany.
"We continuously monitor the market place to consider whether and where it would make sense to build a new works and regularly make big investments in our home market, running to 3 digit millions Euros sums per year."
In 2012, blade factories were opened in Haren and Aurich, which are steadily ramping up production, as well as a service and logistic centre in Gotha, which is to be expanded.
Whether a new factory is built depends on factors that include whether expensive transport and logistic costs can be avoided by building factories for large components in the region where turbine sales are strong, the Enercon spokesman explained.

May 08, 2011 01:06 PM|GrZeCh|LINK
I can confirm this issue. In my opinion WebMatrix should not change any permissions in any case. WebMatrix publishing feature is intended to be used with hosting companies which are for sure setting proper permissions during their clients website and directory
structure creation so there is no need to modify them because it will cause more problems than advantages. I'm wondering why this permissions are even changed? What hosting company is allowing to do that?

DotNetNuke installation package comes with the following Manifest.xml file :
<iisapp path="DotNetNuke" />
<setAcl path="DotNetNuke" setAclAccess="Modify" />
So it seems that it is clearly Webmatrix bug (requested Acl is "Modify" not "Read&Write").

Hi Maciej and GrZeCh,
I will certainly look into these issues with permissions being removed (or the other thread about the wrong permissions being set) and post-back with an explanation or plan of action - but generally speaking it is considered a feature of Web Deploy publishing that the applications can determine ACLs that they will require for the application pool identity and that they get set on the destination site to ensure the application will work - this is a plus from FTP publishing, where these ACLs otherwise need to be adjusted manually by the user. The ACLs are defined by the application owners as requirements for their application working.
The server administrator can choose not to allow these ACLs to be changed (particularly on the root) by giving the publishing user limited ACLs (such as Modify rather than Full Control) - but I believe most of those in the hosting gallery do give Full Control to make sure publishing of applications with root-level setAcls still works without error. Server owners can also choose to deny any setAcl operation by Web Deploy, or for specific users, by using Delegation rules (this is akin to the suggested changePermissions=false setting, and is fully controlled by the server admin) - but as most OSS applications in the gallery use setAcls, this limits what applications can be published without error.
May 09, 2011 03:48 PM|GrZeCh|LINK
can you give us some sample setAcl example which will allow to install DNN but not allow to remove existing permissions? I was trying "Read, Modify" but WebMatrix is only allowing to publish when there is "*" or "Read, Write" set. Maybe instead of changePermissions property there could be something like "allowPublishingWihoutSettingPermissions" (I know it's too long :) but you know what I mean) ?
Do you know how many hosting companies allow WebMatrix to change permissions? I still think that if this feature is intended to be used with professional hosting providers then all proper permissions should be already set when customers are creating their
websites in hosting control panels.
May 09, 2011 05:33 PM|MaciejR|LINK
Moreover, in some cases the professional hosting company has to set some special permissions, which should never be removed. For instance, because of well-known bug in ASP.NET 2.0 running under Medium Trust whereby a security exception is raised in mscorlib 220.127.116.11 when calling CreateDirectory method if the application pool identity has no rights defined in one of the parent directories. Note that CreateDirectory is used by DotNetNuke installer in order to check the permissions setting. As a workaround for this bug in ASP.NET 2.0 (fixed in ASP.NET 4.0), read permission for app pool identity has to be set in the parent folder of the application root folder.
So let me to repeat : the permissions already set in the application root folder (inherited or not from its parent folder) should NEVER be removed. Moreover : the inheritance of these permissions should not be broken.

Hi Maciej and GrZeCh,
I have been trying to reproduce this scenario, where the permissions are removed, but am not seeing the behavior you describe where SYSTEM or Administrator accounts are removed. Could either of you please provide some additional information about the steps or settings you are using?
I agree that the removal of the existing ACLs is a serious issue, but it is not being experienced by everyone; I'd like to determine why the two of you are seeing this behavior as there may be a simple explanation or setting that we're missing.
GrZeCh - for the setAcl example are you referring to a delegation rule format or the user ACLs on the directory? For the directory ACLs, you can do "modify" only on the parent directory of the highest-level setAcl. For example, if there are root setAcls for the application, the user would need either full control on the root of the site, or modify permission on the parent directory to the site root. A delegation rule will allow or deny the use of the provider, but not selectively deny one provider while allowing the rest of a WebMatrix publish (which includes other providers) to work. This was considered something the client could just choose to omit if they wanted. We can consider this as a potential feature for the next version (to add the ability within WebMatrix to exclude setAcls when publishing) - but I fear this will not be seen as a common use case for the WebMatrix user given that our Hosting Gallery recommended hosting providers do allow these setAcl operations.
For other clients, such as the web deploy cmd line, it is possible to easily just remove the setAcl entries from the manifest on the client or to skip them to get around this type of problem. Would you be interested in learning how to do command line publishing as an alternative?
Also - for the other thread - I'll try to post an update there tomorrow. It is a bug, and I can give you a workaround that will at least avoid manual ACL updates for future publishes.

First at all : an issue observed by one or two persons is always an issue.
Here are my setting :
Windows Web Server 2008 R2 + WebSitePanel control panel.
ASP.NET running in Medium Trust.
Fully qualified path to the root of the application: 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\titi.com\wwwroot\'
Permissions set by server Admin (before publish):
Full control for Administrators and SYSTEM on 'D:\'
Read permission for NETWORK SERVICE on 'D:\HostingSpaces' (workaround for 'CreateDirectory' ASP.NET 2.0 bug)
Permissions set by customer using WebsitePanel (before publish):
Modify permission for FTP user account on 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\'
Modify permission for NETWORK SERVICE on 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\titi.com\wwwroot\'
Modify permission for anonymous IIS account belonging to IIS_IUSRS on 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\titi.com\wwwroot\'
Application Pool identity is NETWORK SERVICE, ASP.NET is set to 2.0 Integrated Pipeline
These settings resume in the following effective permissions on the 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\titi.com\wwwroot\' folder :
Full control : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited)
Modify : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited), NS, account belonging to IIS_IUSRS, FTP account (inherited)
Read & execute : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited), NS, account belonging to IIS_IUSRS, FTP account (inherited)
List folder contents : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited), account belonging to IIS_IUSRS, FTP account (inherited)
Read : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited), NS (inherited), account belonging to IIS_IUSRS, FTP account (inherited)
Write : SYSTEM (inherited), Administrators (inherited), NS, account belonging to IIS_IUSRS, FTP account (inherited)
Web Matrix settings :
DotNetNule installed and configured with SQL Server database (not SQL Express). Running on localhost without any issue.
Publish from Web Matrix : all files and database, publish successful.
Effective permissions on 'D:\HostingSpaces\toto\titi.com\wwwroot\' after publish:
Full control :
Modify : account belonging to IIS_IUSRS
Read & execute : account belonging to IIS_IUSRS
List folder contents : account belonging to IIS_IUSRS
Read : NS (not inherited ! - overwritten), account belonging to IIS_IUSRS
Write : NS, account belonging to IIS_IUSRS
NOTE : I don't observe described issue when publishing Web Matrix website created from Web Matrix template.

Hello Maciej,
Thank you for the additional details.
Please let me apologize for my previous wording - I was not trying to imply that this is not a major issue; we are very concerned by it and we really appreciate your taking the time to let us know about it! The fact that you are experiencing it where we are not is worrisome as it means we may be missing an important setting or detail and under-testing it.
We're looking at it to see if we can reproduce these conditions, based on the information you've provided, but we may ask for other specific details if still unable to get the same behavior.
Thank you for your help on this.

We're having the same issue as well. after removing the "User" group NTFS permission, now any time someone uses WebMatrix or webDeploy with Visual Studios all inherited permissions are removed exept for the app pool user and the webdeploy user.
This issue is causing alot of additional work.
Jun 13, 2011 08:42 AM|yellow#5|LINK
Anyone? No one has this issue where the inherited "System" and "Administrators" permissions are being removed after web deploy either by WebMatrix or Visual Studios?

Do you guys have the local "Users" group in your parent hosting space i.e. d:\hostingSpaces ? If the IIS team would remove the "Users" group from their parent directory they should be able to reproduce the issue right away.

Wow, I think that I have finally found the source of great frustration! I have been troubleshooting my IIS folder permissions for months. Everything would be working fine, and then I would check something, and boom, no more website. I even told one of the MS Website spark hosting providers to shove it, cause they kept blaming it on me.
Here's my situation: I have an existing Wordpress Site that I host locally. I had the great idea of making it faster by moving the site to a Website Spark hosting provider and then using webmatrix to make code edits and develop plugins and themes. Every time I would turn around, the site would go down, and i could never track down the reason. Apparently it was because I uploaded my locally tested code, and it changed all of my site permissions. I knew it was a permissions issue, and tried to work with the hosting provider to resolve, but they insisted it wasn't their problem. I thought that the hosting provider was to blame, bad hardware or something, but after reading this thread I am sure that it's webmatrix. Moreover, I have recently had the SAME exact issue after I tried to view my site code locally in webmatrix. It sounds like I'll be having the same trouble in VS which sadly brings me back to notepad or dreamweaver to do all of my site code.

I have received a private message from harshmittal (see below). Because I am really tired of the incompetence of Microsoft I think that I will abandon the Microsoft hosting solution an offer to my customers only LAMP solution. Anyone interested in continuing this thread is welcome.
My name is Harsh Mittal and I am Senior Program Manager with Web deploy team. First of all, I apologizethat solution provided by Microsoft did not resolve the issue.
Beforeposting the solution to connect, team verifies that solution actually works forthe repro we have in house. But many a times our in house repro may not be the best representation of your environment.
In order to proceed further and resolve the issuesyou are still facing, we will need detailed explanation of the current issue.
Can you pleaseprovide us detailed repro steps and problem you are facing with current workaroind, so that WebDeploy team can work towards solving this issue?

Thank you GrZeCh for your support to Microsoft.
Now, it is perhaps a right time to fix also the bug described below ?
Mar 05, 2012 06:34 PM|OWScott|LINK
I ran into this same issue today so I wanted to include a summary and some more details since this is a long thread.
It's a WebDeploy issue with Visual Studio, but not with WebMatrix because of the way they each update the permissions on deployment. The issue is caused by the inherited permissions being dropped. If you inherit permissions like SYSTEM, Administrator and other management accounts then they will be dropped with a Visual Studio WebDeploy publish.
There are three possible solutions or workarounds (the 3rd is what I used):
1) Update the server to use WebDeploy 3.0.
I haven't tested but harshmittal mentioned above that V3 beta has a fix for this.
2) Fix the ACLs on the site:
The kicker is that for WebDeploy v2.0 and earlier the folder above the site root needs to have proper permission for the WebDeploy setAcl assigned user. As an example, consider the case of WebsitePanel with the following structure: c:\HostingSpace\accountname\domain.com\wwwroot\.
It's 'domain.com' that needs to have proper permissions assigned.
You would need to run the following:
icacls c:\HostingSpaces\accountname\domain.com\ /grant management_account:(OI)(CI)(Rc,S)
3) Update the Service Delegation rules
My situation today is for WebsitePanel which sets the permissions on 'domain.com' automatically. So I can't use option #2 without applying code changes to WebsitePanel. Instead, there is another option.
If you used an identityType of CurrentUser for the setAcl provider then you can switch that to a SpecificUser which has permissions to the disk. In this case of WebsitePanel it does need to be an administrator on the server, but the user can be used for just this specific task to minimize the footprint.
Here's the provider rule before:
<rule enabled="true" providers="setAcl" actions="*" path="{userScope}" pathType="PathPrefix">
<user name="*" isRole="false" accessType="Allow" />
<runAs identityType="CurrentUser" />
And here's the rule afterward
<rule enabled="true" providers="setAcl" actions="*" path="{userScope}" pathType="PathPrefix">
<user name="*" isRole="false" accessType="Allow" />
<runAs identityType="SpecificUser" userName="iisAclUser" password="[enc:….=:enc]" />
You can set the password using Management Service Delegation at the server level in IIS Manager.
Apr 20, 2012 05:51 AM|GrZeCh|LINK
WebDeploy 3 RC has just been released:
Maybe our problems will be solved

According to readme from WebDeploy v3RC:
this issue has been fixed:
"Change: In some cases Web Deploy publishing removed inherited permissions on root folder of site. Web Deploy V3 fixes this issue. "

About 50 people, mostly Pocono residents, have been charged in three separate prescription drug rings that raked in a total of $10 million in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, state and federal authorities said Thursday.
About 50 people, mostly Pocono residents, have been charged in three separate prescription drug rings that raked in a total of $10 million in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, state and federal authorities said Thursday.
Authorities armed with search warrants also seized 28 guns in Pennsylvania and two in New York as part of the two-prong, 15-month investigation dubbed "Operation Script King" in Pennsylvania and "Operation Cuba Libre" in New York.
Investigators charged John Romagnolo, 44, of Cresco, who reportedly called himself the "Script King," and Bryn Walter Stevenson, 29, of Tannersville, with leading separate drug rings competing against each other in Pennsylvania.
Authorities said Patricia Rodriguez, 28, of Bronx, N.Y., and her husband, Hector Rodriguez, 29, supplied both rings.
Meanwhile, New York City doctor Hector Castro, founder of Itzamma Medical Center whose office Patricia Rodriguez managed, led his own ring in New York and New Jersey.
Between the three rings, a total of over 500,000 Oxycodone pills, 70,000 of which were in Pennsylvania, were diverted onto the black market in all three states, authorities said.
Romagnolo and Stevenson led competing drug rings, both getting Oxycodone prescriptions from New York City doctor Hector Castro's office managed by Patricia Rodriguez.
Romagnolo traveled to New York to get his 28-member ring's prescriptions while Stevenson had his 22-member ring's prescriptions delivered.
According to court papers, John Romangolo sent a text message on Nov. 5, 2012, bragging: "Dam right I call the shots im the script king."
Romagnolo and Stevenson each gave Rodriguez other people's names and personal information.
Many of these were people each ring planned to use as "fillers" to illegally fill prescriptions, but authorities are investigating to see where they got the rest of the names.
Rodriguez then wrote out prescriptions in the names given her.
Stevenson then text-messaged his prescription delivery requests to Rodriguez, who sent husband Hector Rodriguez to deliver them in Monroe County.
Romagnolo meanwhile traveled three times a week to New York and bought his requested hard-copy prescriptions for $500 each from her.
Romagnolo and Stevenson each then had the prescriptions filled at Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City pharmacies and illegally sold them for a profit.
Each ring's fillers communicated regularly via text messages and waited turns to fill the prescriptions.
Romagnolo, Stevenson and Patricia Rodriguez kept track of when and where each filler filled a prescription so as not to draw pharmacy or law enforcement attention.
Romagnolo and Stevenson paid their respective fillers cash or delivered pills back to them as payment for filling the prescriptions.
The fillers used cash or private insurance or medical assistance cards to pay for the prescriptions, paying $20 to $30 per Oxycodone 30-miligram tablet.
If the fillers paid with insurance, it cost less to fill the prescription and the organizations reaped more profit.
From February 2011 to December 2012, Romagnolo and Stevenson filled a total of over 500 prescriptions, using 100 different names to fraudulently obtain over 70,000 Oxycodone 30-miligram tablets worth $2.1 million on the street.
Authorities said northeastern Pennsylvania's demand for Oxycodone was so high that many pharmacies ran out of the drug or refused to fill prescriptions.
Authorities this week executed search warrants, arresting Romagnolo, Stevenson and their respective ring members.
Authorities also seized more than two dozen handguns and rifles, five ATVs, a dirt bike, digital scales, numerous pill bottles, several scrips and several thousand dollars in cash.
All defendants will appear in court at future dates.

So my new Smoke is losing air.....Pretty weird is when it first happened I thought maybe I didn't shut a valve all the way. I pumped it up and let it sit in the yard for about 4 hours and it was still hard and firm. OK, great it was me. Took it out the next day for a ride and was in the water maybe 30 min, came in landed and the leading edge was mushy again. Checked the valves and all seated fine.
What could be causing this? I've talked to a few people that said this happened to them as well when only flying the kite (weird)
It was pretty cold 45 deg when flying. Any help or advice would be great.

Jumbo Hammock Chair - Currambera Model (Apricot Color)
These over sized jumbo hammock chairs are great for indoors or on your patio, anywhere you want to relax and can even allow the right size person to lie down as well as sit upright. The uniqueness of the chair rather than a hammock is you can sit upright making it easy to read, watch television or just visit with someone while relaxing.
What makes this hammock chair unique from other chairs?
The spreader bar:
Crafted with cultivated bamboo (managed on a farm) and engineered with plate technology giving it extra strength and a smooth surface. Since it is bamboo you do not have to worry about leaving it outside during the summer months.
Responsible forestry:
The FSC® logo guarantees that the wood used in making these chairs is in compliance with the strict rules of the Forest Stewardship Council from sowing the tree via several processing steps up to the final product. FSC®-License Code: CO12427.
The hammock chair swivel:
The patented design integrated safety swivel provides you complete safety and comfort. It allows you to rotate around your own axis without over winding the suspension ropes and causing failure.
Tear proof selvage (an edge produced on woven fabric during manufacture that prevents it from unraveling):
The two borders of your hammock chair lying surface feature a particularly tight weave. Because of this robust surface, exceptional stability is guaranteed.
High number of suspension cords:
You will benefit from additional comfort thanks to a multitude of suspension cords that distribute your body weight equally to the cloth of the hammock chair therefore giving you a unique feeling of being suspended comfortably.
Pure 100% Cotton in the sitting area:
Pure cotton is a material that is very soft to your touch or against your skin, very comfortable, tear proof and durable.
The chair is detachable so you can machine wash at 30 °C (86 °F) gentle cycle.
Hammock Chair Specifications & hanging requirements:
Seating length front to back: 210 cm (6 ft 11 in).
Seating width side to side: 130 cm (4 ft 3 in).

Reading a book called "The Hacienda: My Venezuelan Years," and though I don't think it's intended to be a comedic book at all, this part made me laugh, perhaps because it's vaguely familiar.
"He said he would die if I didn't marry him. He said it was my destiny. I was sixteen and I didn't know then that it was an old cliché, as though, somewhere, there is a little latino lexicon of courtship which is learnt by heart in adolescence and then regurgitated to girl after girl."
– Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

I have an Asus EeePC 1225B with an existing Windows 7 installation on it. The hard drive layout is like this
Partition 1: UEFI Boot 15MB
Partition 2: C:\ Windows 7 100GB
Partition 3: D:\ Empty NTFS partition 200GB
Partition 4: Win7 Recovery partition 15GB
I'd like to install Backtrack 5R2 on this laptop but this is my first experience UEFI so I'm a bit cautious and don't really know where to start.
I have no CD-media for Windows 7 so I really don't want to have to re-install it (not sure how I would do that without the recovery partition in place and untouched).
I'm hoping I could just install BT5R2 on partition 3 (or in the space which currently holds partition 3 at least) somehow and not touch the rest of the partitions much but I'm just not sure where to start here.
Any and all advice and pointers would be very much appreciated.

Almost three years after then Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff trumpeted government success in smoothing the legal path to U.S. citizenship, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined business leaders Wednesday in calling for a dramatic increase in the number of immigrants with scientific and technological expertise.
In a panel discussion entitled "Immigration and American Competitiveness: The Challenge Ahead," speakers told an assembled group of business people and lobbyists that other countries are now able to retain talented scientists and engineers more effectively than the U.S. because of a broken immigration system, and that American lawmakers need to act quickly to fix the problem before the U.S. is outpaced by emerging economic powerhouses in Asia.
"We want legal immigration," Chertoff said in an October 2008 speech. "As much as we want to discourage illegal immigration, we want to encourage legal immigration. Here I am delighted to say that the United States Citizen and Immigration Services has worked very hard to improve the business practices and to reduce the backlog."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who founded the financial business service Bloomberg, LP before becoming mayor, said quotas limiting the number of H1b work visas, which are good for three years, and green cards, which allow permanent residency in the U.S., issued to those seeking residency in the country are "arbitrary," and "crazy."
The number of H-1B visas issued each year is capped at 65,000, according to the Center for Immigration Policy.
"Our visa distribution should be more in line with our economic needs," Bloomberg said, noting that less than 10 percent of visas are granted for business reasons, as opposed to the many issued to reunite separated families.
"That's just terrible public policy," Bloomberg said. "We should dramatically expand the number of green cards available to the best of the best."
Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas J. Donohue said educated foreigners have a lot to bring to the table for American employers, and noted explosive growth among the Mexican and Latin American Economies in recent years.
"Our neighbors to the south are young," Donohue said. "We are older, as a society."
Donohue told attendees that the current system doesn't allow top skilled professionals to remain in the U.S. indefinitely, leaving American businesses with one choice.
"We send the jobs to where they are," Donohue said.
Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the Department of Homeland Security, said the government is already working to communicate immigration requirements to business leaders seeking to bring in talent from overseas, and that his agency currently approves about 80 percent of business immigration applications.
Mayorkas said "controversial" and "divisive" talk about foreigners stealing American jobs makes having a realistic policy discussion difficult.
A comprehensive immigration reform bill that included some of these provisions died in a 2007 Senate vote, amid criticisms that it offered amnesty to illegal aliens, which that bill also included.
"Businesses should continue to advocate, continue to engage in the dialogue," Mayorkas said.
Robin Paulino, Senior Counsel for Global Immigration at Microsoft, said the software giant finds a lack of qualified workers among Americans.
"Finding the right talent isn't as simple as substituting one person for another," Paulino said.
A spokesman U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, (R-TX), said this is a policy lawmakers should pursue.
"We need a smart immigration policy that brings in the best and brightest," McCaul said.
A 2010 study from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce predicted that the American labor force would have 3 million fewer skilled workers than jobs available by 2018.
Washington Bureau Correspondent Amanda Sakuma contributed to this report.

Jolt Awards: The Best Programming Utilities, July 29, 2013 The top utilities that solve annoying development problems.
Finalist: VMware Fusion 5.0
VMware Fusion 5.0 is a virtual machine host designed exclusively for the Mac OS X platform. In addition to running Windows and Linux VMs, Fusion also has the ability to run native Mac OS X virtual machines. While these OSX VMs can't be used outside of Apple hardware-hosted environments, they offer a nice way to sandbox system updates and software patches that, unlike Windows or Linux updates, cannot easily be rolled back. VMware Fusion 5.0 also offers several useful features for running a Windows VM, including full support for 3D hardware-accelerated Windows 8. It also supports the latest Mac OS X features, such as the ability to stream a virtual machine's display output to an AirPlay-compatible device, such as an AppleTV.
At $49, Fusion is also considerably less expensive than its inspired Workstation counterpart, and it provides a superb solution for Windows and Mac developers alike looking to run near native Windows machine performance without having to resort to Apple's Boot Camp.

The New Bern Board of Aldermen passed a 2013-14 city budget Tuesday night that does not call for a property tax increase but does increase fees on garbage collection and city graveyards.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen passed a 2013-14 city budget Tuesday night that does not call for a property tax increase but does increase fees on garbage collection and city graveyards.
Aldermen approved the budget without discussion after delaying adoption at the last meeting to get more information.
Alderman Bernard White, who had questions at the last meeting about some of the appropriations along with Aldermen Sabrina Bengel and Dana Outlaw, said he was satisfied.
�I think y�all did a pretty good job,� Outlaw said.
Bengel, Mayor Lee Bettis and Alderman Johnnie Ray Kinsey also praised Keith Fiaschetti, the finance director, for answering their questions, which mostly related to funding for the Fire Department to hire volunteer firefighters.
The new budget includes a hike in garbage pickup fees by $3.75 per month; a 7 percent increase in most fees for permits and inspections through development services; and an increased in holiday openings and closings at city cemeteries from $400 for residents and $700 for nonresidents to $500 for residents and $800 for nonresidents.
Aldermen approved an increase of $10,077 on top of the city manager�s recommended budget of $4,123 for Allies for Cherry Point Tomorrow, or ACT, for a lobbyist to promote the airbase on Capital Hill. The increases will come from contingency funds.
The $43,560 that was recommended for the merger of the volunteer fire organization with the city fire department was broken down into line items that include $12,000 for part-time salaries plus $2,366 in fringe benefits, leaving a balance of $29,194, reports show.
The budget also provides funding for a $27,501 increase for the governing board, from a current budget of $309,076 to $336,577. The money will be used to pay the $10,077 increase to Allies for Cherry Point Tomorrow and Highway 17 Board and also reflects a small increase in the clerk�s salary. ACT and the Highway 17 Board were taken out of special appropriations this year and put in the governing board line item. Aldermen are also paid out of the governing board line item and did not receive raises from current budget. The city�s administration fund will increase $68,600 from a current budget of $512,768 to $581,368.
As a last-minute budget revision to the current 2012-13 budget, aldermen approved an increase of $15,000 to the city�s legal service to cover legal fees involving a lawsuit filed by Robert Raynor, a former alderman, against the city involving health insurance for life he and a former board once voted for themselves. Last year, the legal department was appropriated the same as this year, $203,364.
An additional $5,000 was added for new weather alert features to the city�s Code RED system. There were also changes in the water, sewer and electric funds to pay off debts and interests on loans and to increase funding to the phase II portion of the Neuse Boulevard water main project with funds left over from the first phase of the project.

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 will not only become the most affordable Mercedes in the when it goes on sale in the U.S. later this year, but also the second most efficient behind the diesel E250 Bluetec. The EPA has rated the front-wheel-drive CLA250 at 26/38/30 mpg city/highway/combined.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The only transmission option is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. These impressive mileage ratings put the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 near the top of the entry-level luxury class, with only the 2014 Lexus CT200h hybrid beating the CLA's rating with its numbers of 43/40/42 mpg city/highway/combined. Other competitors like the 2014 BMW 320i and the 2014 Acura TSX have lower ratings of 24/36 mpg and 22/31 mpg city/highway, respectively. New competitors will hit the scene within the next few months, though, with the 2014 Audi A3 sedan coming to the U.S. in early 2014and a possible new Infiniti compact based on the Q30 Concept coming within the next year.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 starts at $30,825 with destination. The performance-oriented CLA45 AMG will arrive by the end of the year, and a CLA250 4Matic all-wheel-drive model will be on sale by early 2014. The CLA's four-door-coupe styling is supposed to imitate the larger Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and will be the first front-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz model ever sold in the U.S.

I didn't know you read C&L. What other political blogs do you frequent?
I read Andrew Sullivan's daily dish and zefrank's page, although that's much more ridiculous than political, although it's often about politics.ReplyDelete
That's probably all for political blogs although yours counts I suppose.
I sure hope he runs again.ReplyDelete
Dr. ibear
We'll see. He's got the credibility, the time in exile, the sympathy factor (he was robbed!), and, most shockingly, the sense of humor.ReplyDelete
"Hi, I'm Al Gore. I used to be 'the Next President of the United States.'"
Better than Hillary.
You know, I am no fan of George Bush, but I am still amazed by the sentiment in the debate that Gore won the election in 2000. The truth is that he didn't. The argument that SCOTUS was the wrong body to finalize the election is fine, but the truth is that no one has yet generated an actual count of votes that woudl give the election to Gore, including the coalition of news media that re-counted over the succeeding several months.ReplyDelete
And either way, it must be accepted that from a statistical point of view, the election was a dead tie. The number of votes of separation was within the margin for error.
You must give up the fantasy, as attractive as it is for you, that Gore won the election. It was a tie, and the only arbitrary mechanisms we had to decide the election all pointed to Bush, so we had to make the decision.
And I agree that Hillary is unelectable so the Dems need to fund us someone soon.
