Oracle® Application Server Installation Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for AIX 5L Based Systems (64-Bit)
This appendix describes solutions to common problems that you might encounter when installing Oracle Application Server. It contains the following sections:
If you encounter an error during installation:
Read the Oracle Application Server Release Notes for the latest updates. The release notes are available with the platform-specific documentation. The most current version of the release notes is available on Oracle Technology Network:
Verify that your computer meets the requirements specified in Chapter 4, "Requirements".
If you are installing a middle tier, check that the OracleAS Infrastructure with which you want to associate the middle tier is running during installation.
If you entered incorrect information on one of the installation screens, return to that screen by clicking Back until you see the screen.
If a configuration assistant failed, check the log file for that configuration assistant. Section F.2, "Description of Oracle Application Server Configuration Assistants" lists the configuration assistants and the location of their log files. If you do not see log files from some configuration assistants in the
ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs directory, exit the installer. This causes the installer to copy the log files to that directory.
If an error occurred while the installer is copying or linking files:
Note the error and review the installation log files.
Remove the failed installation by following the steps in Appendix E, "Deinstallation and Reinstallation".
Correct the issue that caused the error.
Restart the installation.
This section describes common installation problems and solutions:
Section G.2.2, "Message About Installing in a Non-Empty Directory"
Section G.2.3, "Installer Disappears After Running the Preinstallation Checks"
Section G.2.5, "Forgot the Password for the cn=orcladmin Account"
Section G.2.7, "User Interface Does Not Display in the Desired Language, or Does Not Display Properly"
Section G.2.8, "Installer Does Not Display Correct Database Name for OracleAS Metadata Repository"
Section G.2.10, "OracleAS Randomize Password Configuration Assistant Failures"
Section G.2.11, "Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) Failures"
Section G.2.12, "Harmless Error Message from Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)"
Section G.2.13, "OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start HTTP Server Failures"
Section G.2.14, "OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start DAS Instance Failures"
Section G.2.15, "OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start OCA Failures"
Section G.2.17, "WARNING: DCM service may not be available at this time"
There are two sets of log files:
The installer writes the following log files:
The configuration assistants write log files in the
ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs directory.
Note that if you want to access the log files created by the configuration assistants, you need to exit the installer first. The log files are inaccessible if the installer is still in use.
The installer displays a message that you are installing into a non-empty directory.
If you started an installation and went beyond the Specify File Locations screen, but did not complete the installation, the installer has already created the Oracle home directory that you specified. If you later try to install again in the same directory, which contains some files created by the installer, the installer gives a warning that the directory is not empty.
Steps to take:
In the warning dialog, click No to return to the Specify File Locations screen.
In the Specify File Locations screen, click Installed Products. This displays the Inventory screen.
If your Oracle home is listed in the Inventory screen, then you have to deinstall the Oracle home. Refer to Appendix E, "Deinstallation and Reinstallation" for details.
If your Oracle home is not listed in the Inventory screen, then you can just delete the files from the Oracle home and continue with the installation.
The installer disappears after running preinstallation checks
The directory that is the mount point of the CD-ROM or DVD was mounted with incorrect permissions, and this caused the
pwd command to not work correctly. When you run
pwd, it returns "cannot determine current directory".
To fix:
Unmount the CD-ROM.
Change permissions of the mount directory to 755.
Remount the CD-ROM.
The installer should now run correctly.
If your installation was not successful, you have to deinstall it first before you can install Oracle Application Server again. Refer to Appendix E, "Deinstallation and Reinstallation" for instructions.
You forgot the password for the cn=orcladmin account.
You can reset the password in the database. The DSE root attribute name is
Note that after a certain number of failed attempts to connect, the cn=orcladmin account becomes locked. In this case, you have to unlock the account. Refer to the section, Section G.2.6, "cn=orcladmin Account Becomes Locked", for instructions on how to unlock the account.
The cn=orcladmin account becomes locked after ten failed attempts to connect. This is controlled by the password policy. Ten failed attempts is the default value.
If you know the cn=orcladmin password, you can unlock the account by running the following command:
prompt> ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidpasswd connect=dbsid unlock_su_acct=true
where dbsid is the SID for the database. For example:
prompt> ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidpasswd connect=orcl unlock_su_acct=true OID DB user password: enter_ODS_password OID superuser account unlocked successfully.
The command prompts for the password of the ODS schema. By default, the ODS password is the same as for the cn=orcladmin and ias_admin accounts, which you entered during installation.
To change the password policy, see the Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide.
Messages do not appear in the desired language, or messages are not displayed correctly
Currently, Oracle Application Server does not support adding or removing languages after installation.
If you are serving non-English content, be sure you add all the languages that you need during installation. To add languages during installation, click the Product Languages button in the "Select a Product to Install" screen. To see which languages are installed by default, see Section 5.8, "Installing Additional Languages".
If you are serving non-English content and forgot to click the Product Languages in the installation, the user interface might not display properly because the required fonts were not installed. You can fix this by installing the fonts from the "OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities" CD-ROM or from the Oracle Application Server DVD.
Insert and mount the "OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities" CD-ROM or the Oracle Application Server DVD.
CD-ROM: Copy the contents of the
utilities/fonts directory on the CD-ROM to the
ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/fonts directory.
DVD: Copy the contents of the
repca_utilities/utilities/fonts directory on the DVD to the
ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/fonts directory.
During middle-tier installation, in the Select OracleAS Metadata Repository screen, which is the screen where you select the OracleAS Metadata Repository that you want to use for the middle tier, the installer does not display correctly the names of the available OracleAS Metadata Repository databases.
Check the log file
.log. If you see the following lines:
*** Select OracleAS Metadata Repository Page*** Error:*** Alert: Error validating repository on multiple hosts and ports. A database hostname or port is missing.
then it means that your OracleAS Metadata Repository database name contains
PORT or
HOST in uppercase characters. To fix the problem, change the name of the database so that it does not contain
PORT or
HOST in uppercase characters.
This section describes general tips for troubleshooting configuration assistant failures. Refer to the next sections for specific configuration assistant failures.
Configuration assistant failed
Configuration assistants fail from a variety of causes. Some things you can check are:
Check that the listener, database, and Oracle Internet Directory associated with the OracleAS Infrastructure are up and running. If not, start them up and click the Retry button to rerun the configuration assistant that failed.
Check the log files for the failed configuration assistant to determine the problem. The log files are located in the
ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs directory.
Fix the problem indicated in the log file, and click Retry to rerun the failed configuration assistant.
Before rerunning OracleAS Randomize Password Configuration Assistant, you need to perform these steps:
Start Oracle Directory Manager.
Enter the Oracle Internet Directory hostname, port, user name, and password.
Expand Entry Management > cn=OracleContext > cn=Products > cn=IAS > cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases.
Select orclreferencename=your_globaldb_name.
For each schema under the your_globaldb_name tree, there is an
orclreferencename entry. For the
orclreferencename entry:
Change the value of the
orclpassword attribute to the schema name. For example, if
wireless is the schema name, change the
orclpassword attribute value to
orclflexattribute1 to false.
Click Apply.
Perform these steps for all the schemas except
ODS and
Using SQL*Plus, log in to the database where the OracleAS Randomize Password Configuration Assistant failure is occurring, and run the following script.
prompt> sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba" SQL> @ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/admin/unlock.sql
password specifies the password for the SYS user.
Rerun the OracleAS Randomize Password Configuration Assistant.
DBCA fails with the following error:
Open wallet failedoracle.net.config.ServiceAliasException at oracle.net.config.ServiceAlias.<init>(Compiled Code) at oracle.net.config.Service.<init>(Compiled Code) at oracle.net.config.DatabaseService.<init>(Compiled Code) at oracle.sysman.assistants.util.NetworkUtils.registerDBWithDirSrvc(NetworkUtils.j ava:1137) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.DirServiceStep.executePreReqImpl(Compiled Code) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.PrerequisiteStep.executeImpl(Prerequisite Step.java:149) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.Step.execute(Compiled Code) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.PostDBCreationStep.executeImpl(Compiled Code) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.Step.execute(Compiled Code) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.backend.Host$ModeRunner.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:466) ERROR :oracle.sysman.assistants.util.NetAPIException
This error occurs if the
TNS_ADMIN environment variable is set. The
TNS_ADMIN environment variable should not be set (see Section 4.8.6, "TNS_ADMIN"). If it is set, unset it and rerun DBCA by clicking the Retry button in the Configuration Assistants screen.
If you see the following "error copying OC4J config files" message in your log file, the message is harmless and can be ignored.

The OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start HTTP Server fails when you re-run it.
The problem is that Oracle HTTP Server is already running. Before re-running the configuration assistant, stop Oracle HTTP Server with the following command:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
Then re-run the OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start HTTP Server.
The OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start DAS Instance fails when you re-run it.
The problem is that the Oracle Delegated Administration Services instance is already running. Before re-running the configuration assistant, stop the Oracle Delegated Administration Services instance with the following command:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc ias-component=OC4J_Security
Then re-run the OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start DAS Instance.
The OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start OCA fails when you re-run it.
The problem is that the OCA instance is already running. Before re-running the configuration assistant, stop the OCA instance with the following command:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc ias-component=OC4J instancename=oca
Then re-run the OPMN Configuration Assistant - Start OCA.
Re-running the
chgtocfmt script to change back to the original configuration does not work. The hostnames are not converted back to the physical hostname, but the script does not show any errors.
You can re-run the
chgtocfmt script to change back to the original configuration only if you installed the middle tier in a single Oracle home (that is, on the shared disk). Re-running the script in a separate Oracle home installation does not work. To make it work in a separate Oracle home installation, try this workaround:
In the
/config/ias.properties file, set the
VirtualHostName parameter to the virtual hostname that you used in the first run of the
chgtocfmt script.
Re-run the
chgtocfmt script.
In the
/config/ias.properties file, set the
VirtualHostName parameter to the physical hostname.
When installing the first node of an OracleAS Cluster (Identity Management), the Java Security Configuration Assistant may return the following message:
WARNING: DCM service may not be available at this time to synchronize $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/jazn-data.xml file.
This is due to a failure in updating the DCM repository and could happen if your load balancer virtual server is not configured to return immediately to the calling client when the backend services to which it forwards traffic are unavailable.
Perform the following steps to correct the problem:
Run the following command after installation completes:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateConfig -ct jazn
Verify that the
dcmctl updateConfig command did not return any errors.
Use the following command to verify that the password is correct:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -Doracle.security.jazn.config=./jazn/install/jazn.xml -jar jazn.jar -checkpasswd jazn.com admin -pw admin_password
This section describes common problems related to deinstallation:
Section G.3.1, "Obsolete Partner URLs Still Remain on the OracleAS Single Sign-On Administration Screen"
Section G.3.2, "Unable to Reuse Instance Name of a Deleted Instance"
Section G.3.4, "Deconfiguration Failed on Distributed OracleAS Cluster (Identity Management)"
After deinstallation, some partner application entries that are obsolete remain on the OracleAS Single Sign-On Administration screen.
Run the command to de-register the entries for the obsolete partner applications. The command is similar to the command for registration, except that the
-update_mode parameter is set to
Make sure your
LIBPATH environment variable contains
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32, and that your
LIBPATH environment variable contains
$ORACLE_HOME/lib. Then run the command (all on one line):
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib/ossoreg.jar -oracle_home_path $ORACLE_HOME -site_name hostname.domain -config_mod_osso TRUE -mod_osso_url http://hostname.domain:port -u userid -update_mode DELETE
-site_name hostname.domain, specify the computer where the middle tier is installed. Include also the domain name.
-mod_osso_url http://hostname.domain:port, specify the computer where the middle tier is installed, and the port number on which Oracle HTTP Server is listening.
-u userid, specify the operating system user who can start up the middle-tier processes.
For a detailed explanation of the parameters, see chapter 4 of the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide.
You get an error when you try to name a new Oracle Application Server instance using the name of an instance that you deleted.
The name of the deleted instance must be removed from Oracle Internet Directory before you can reuse it. To remove entries for a deleted instance from Oracle Internet Directory, perform these steps:
Start up Oracle Directory Manager. Oracle home refers to the home where you installed Oracle Internet Directory.
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidadmin
In the Connect screen, enter the Oracle Internet Directory connect information. Log in as the Oracle Internet Directory superuser (
Expand Entry Management > cn=OracleContext > cn=Products > cn=IAS > cn=IAS Instances.
Under cn=IAS Instances, select the instance that you want to delete.
From the menu, select Edit > Delete.
Expand Entry Management > cn=OracleContext > cn=Groups.
Select cn=IASAdmins.
In the Properties tab, remove the instance from the
uniquemember field by editing the field. Do not select Edit > Delete from the menu.
Click Apply.
You get an error when you try to use the same global database name or SID as the one that you deleted.
You might see this problem if you deinstall OracleAS Metadata Repository but not Oracle Internet Directory, and you want to reuse the Oracle Internet Directory and the same database name or SID when you install another OracleAS Metadata Repository. The Oracle Internet Directory still contains the name of the deleted OracleAS Metadata Repository. You need to remove this name before you can reuse it.
Note:Do not perform this procedure if you are deinstalling a middle tier.
Start up Oracle Directory Manager. Oracle home refers to the home where you installed Oracle Internet Directory.
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidadmin
In the Connect screen, enter the Oracle Internet Directory connect information. Log in as the Oracle Internet Directory superuser (
Expand Entry Management > cn=OracleContext > cn=Products > cn=Portal > cn=UltraSearch > cn=Database Instances > orclApplicationCommonName=infrastructure_database_name.
Delete all the child entries under orclApplicationCommonName=infrastructure_database_name, starting with the inner-most child entry. To delete an entry, right-click each child entry and select Delete from the pop-up menu. Click Yes in the Confirmation dialog. When deleting child entries, you may get some error messages. You can ignore these error messages.
After you have deleted all the entries under orclApplicationCommonName=infrastructure_database_name, right-click this entry and delete it.
Expand Entry Management.
Expand the Default Subscriber entry. You need to expand each term separately. For example: if your default subscriber is "dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com", you need to expand "dc=com", then expand "dc=oracle", then expand "dc=us".
Then expand cn=OracleContext > cn=Products > cn=Portal > cn=UltraSearch > cn=Database Instances > cn=infrastructure_database_name.
Delete all the child entries under cn=infrastructure_database_name, starting with the inner-most child entry. To delete an entry, right-click each child entry and select Delete from the pop-up menu. Click Yes in the Confirmation dialog. When deleting child entries, you may get some error messages. You can ignore these error messages.
After you have deleted all the entries under cn=infrastructure_database_name, right-click this entry and delete it.
Click Apply.
When running deconfiguring the first OracleAS Single Sign-On node on a Distributed OracleAS Cluster (Identity Management) configured as in Section 12.4.2, "Case 2: Client ---[HTTPS]---> Load Balancer ---[HTTPS]---> Oracle HTTP Server", the Deconfig tool fails. The log file located at
$ORACLE_HOME/sso/log/ssoreg.log has the following error:
Unable to open file $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso.conf. Please check the file path. SSO registration tool failed. Please check the error in this log file, correct the problem and re-run the tool.
The Deconfig tool failed because it was unable to find the
file. Perform the following steps to correct this problem:
Create a link from
osso-https.conf to
cd $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/osso ln osso-https.conf osso.conf
Run the Deconfig tool again.

"Excuse me, sir. Excuse me?"
The banging ceased and two young men in coveralls, stained with oil and dirt, popped up.
"Yeah? Whadda ya want?"
"Do you own this building?"
The tall one walked loose-limbed toward her and pulled a dirty red kerchief from his back pocket. After wiping his face, he looked her up and down before he spoke. "Yeah. Me and my brother here. You need a car fixed?"
"No, I only wondered if you knew the previous owners."
"Nope. But if you're looking for the graveyard, it's back yonder a ways—behind that stand of trees." He pointed to the far back of the lot. "Somebody comes by once in a while to find it."
Dana swayed before she felt Grant's arm around her waist.
Grant spoke. "You mean a cemetery?"
"Same thing, ain't it? 'Cept no one's been buried there as far back as twenty or so years ago. That's all I know. The kids play up there sometimes. It's cooler than down here."
"Thank you," said Grant. He turned to go, but Dana asked to walk back there. The owners agreed that would be fine.
As Dana held Grant's hand, they began to walk up the hill toward the stand of trees. When they had taken several steps, the owner called after them.
"Not much up there. Just a few of those babies' graves."
So, would you consider reading this book?

Wittenberg's Biology Department has a deep commitment to student research. We encourage students to engage in one-on-one research opportunities with faculty throughout their college experience. These experiences are especially important for students who plan to apply to graduate school programs, as many require previous research experience. Students have the option of participating in an ongoing project with a faculty member or creating their own research project. These projects vary both in scope and topic to suit the needs of the individual. Students can conduct research during the academic year, or seek internal funding to conduct their research during the summer months. Many students begin research as early as their sophomore year, and more than half of our Biology majors complete independent research projects with faculty mentors before they graduate.
Students also have the opportunity to complete smaller research projects as part of their coursework for a significant number of biology courses. These projects often take 3-8 weeks of laboratory time to complete, and include the collection, analysis of data, and presentation to the class. Some of these projects are suitable for students to publish abstracts of their work and present their findings at regional scientific meetings.
Wittenberg students present their research in some of the leading regional and national scientific meetings, including:
- Association of Southeastern Biologists
- Kentucky Academy of Science
- Marine Benthic Ecology
- Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference
- Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference
- Midwest Undergraduate Research Conference
- National Conference for Undergraduate Research
- National Speleological Society
- Ohio Academy of Science
- Ohio Physiological Society
Wittenberg students have also recently published their findings in leading national and international journals, including:
- Acta Zoologica
- American Journal of Botany
- American Journal of Tropical Medicine and
- Hydrobiologica
- Hygiene
- Annals of Anatomy
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- Copeia
- Crustaceana
- Journal of Comparative Physiology
- Journal of Cave and Karst Studies
- Journal of Crustacean Biology
- Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
- Journal of Medical Entomology
- Journal of Morphology
- Journal of Traumatic Stress

- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 25
Palm Beach Pool
One of the perks of living in Palm Beach is accessibility to the ocean, but the owner of this home need not venture out to see a beautiful waterscape. Designer Jack Fillips created an outdoor space to match the interior: creamy neutrals paired with hearty values of indigo and navy for an overall masculine aesthetic.
Palm Beach Hot Tub and Pool
The pool and hot tub overlook Florida's Intracoastal Waterway.
European-Inspired Pool Area
Inspired by all things Italian, this outdoor pool deck tucked away in Montecito is imbued with a European aesthetic. The master bedroom opens to the waterway.
Serene Pool Area

I love the marriage between the serious and the not-so-serious, the fancy and the not-so-fancy," explains homeowner Anna Clark about her design philosophy for her home in Hancock Park, California. The vibrant color of the luxe loungers embodies her playful style. See the next slide for more detail.
Poolside Fountain
The fountain enhances the garden feeling.
Moroccan-Inspired Pool Area
Taking risks by a poolside is not recommended unless you are interior designer Kathy Ireland, looking to invigorate your small outdoor space in Santa Monica, California. The space is infused with bold colors and geometric prints, inspired by a visit to Morocco.
Bold Pool Area
A bold pool area is fitting when the interior, history, and homeowners all embody nonconformism. Once home to a women's suffrage activist, the current home in Bellport, New York, serves as a gallery for abstract art from Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
Pretty Lap Pool
The classic lawn setting makes this pool look idyllic.
Inviting L.A. Pool
Ample windows give a view of L.A. poolside accouterments in a cool palette of baby blues and turquoise. The geometric pattern of pillows in brown-and-white grounds the space.
Romantic Pool Area
Greek goddesses would be content to spend a lackadaisical afternoon at this romantic poolside in the Hamptons. Beyond the pool is a vast and lovely English-style garden.
Classic Pool at a Georgian-Style Home
Georgian architecture, like that of this home in the East Hamptons, is admired for its symmetrical design and classic proportions. The minimalist design of the pool coupled with the formal landscape anchors the classic ensemble. See a detail in the next slide.
A Garden Touch in the Pool Area
Hydrangeas soften the hardscaping of the pool area, embellishing the classical theme.
Secluded Vancouver Pool
Palm trees and tendrils of rosemary enclose this Vancouver pool, giving it a tropical vibe. The pool has black flooring, creating an illusory aesthetic that makes it sparkle during nighttime pool parties.
Beautifully Landscaped Pool and Jacuzzi
A beautifully landscaped descent connects the back lawn of this Connecticut home to a lap pool and Jacuzzi, surrounded by handsome chaise lounges and drenched in sunlight.
Pool Bordered by Old South-Style Garden
The tranquil composition of water and clean lines offers balance to the loose planting of flowers. See the poolhouse on the next slide.
Pool House With Curtained Arches
Curtained arches on the poolhouse make for a more formal setting, ideal for entertaining.
Pool At a Napa Valley Vineyard
Framed by olive trees, the courtyard lawn above the pool has a pleasing symmetry.
Designer Barry Dixon's Pool
Tucked away in an acreage in horse country near Warrenton, Virginia, this sophisticated space is the work of designer and homeowner Barry Dixon. "The beauty of the natural world is extraordinarily charged with inspiration. All we have to do is bring it back inside with us," Dixon says. See a detail on the next slide.
Pooch and Pool
Barry's dog, Ellie, a wirehaired fox terrier, perches by the pool.
Pretty Porches and Terraces
If you liked the pool slide show, we think you'll likely enjoy this one, too.

The producer we know that fed distillers to his cows fed them right on the ground one scoop shovel at a time. His cows were in good shape and no ill effects that I ever heard of. These were dry ones.Denny wrote:What kind of problem's with distiller's? I've heard how the cow's won't breedback,you'll get brainer's etc.etc.etc. I fed my cows 30#s of wet per head per day last winter was cheaper than hay the cows were fat and not one brainer.Now it's a year later and the cows are calveing faster than any year in the past.To me it's a feed company seeing a loss of money if they don't convince the farmer/rancher to buy their miracal in a bag or tank.If you want an honest answer ask someone who's done it.I've over fed wet distillars 3 times more than they reccommend with no ill effects.You can load a trailer full of it and park it right out with the cows they will eat until they are full and walk away.This was all done with wet distillars grain so the dry would be different.Plus the hay intake was cut in 1/2.Our local feed mill put on meeting/meal talking about feeding distiller's they had those old farmer's scared to death of the product.It worked on many of them as they keep selling lick barrel's.Feed salesman are like the government they only worry about their own bottom line.I've seen a good friend go broke on advice from his feedman.He was a dairy farmer.loomixguy wrote:Never said or thought anybody was dumb.........Just posted what dealer cost would be on a 20% AN range cube, before adding margin, freight, or applying any discounts. Sorry if you thought I insulted you.
Distillers "can" open up a whole other set of problems, though..........
Wet ones have water added? I've never been around them. I've heard of it. The guy who bought our steer calves was pleased to see we had been feeding them dry distillers he thought they would then go to eating wet ones easily.

- To increase participants awareness of their leadership styles
- To compare and contrast individual leadership experiences within a group
- To allow participants to share their past learnings in a creative forum
Group Size
Ten to twenty participants
Time Required
Sixty to ninety minutes, depending on the number of participants sharing their leadership histories
- A copy of the Leadership History Survey for each participant
- Pens and paper for each participant
- Flip-chart page for each participant
- A variety of colored markers for each participant
- Masking tape
Physical Setting
A room with chairs and a surface on which participants can spread out and work on their drawings.
- Give all participants paper and pencils to take notes.
- Announce the goals of the activity, briefly explaining that the leadership styles we currently exhibit come from experiences we have had with leaders in our past. Say that they will have an opportunity to reflect on those people who have influenced their leadership styles.
- Give everyone a copy of the Leadership History Survey. Read the first question and have participants individually write their answers. Continue through the questions, reading them out loud to give participants time to reflect and write their answers. (Five to ten minutes)
- Once the participants have all completed the Survey, tell them that they will now create a poster of their "Leadership History." Give everyone a sheet of flip chart paper and colored markers, and ask participants to create a drawing of their own leadership history, based on their answers to the Survey.
- Tell them there is one very important rule for creating leadership history posters. They must not use any words, but only pictures. (Fifteen to twenty minutes)
- Once all participants have completed their drawing, have them hang their posters on one of the walls of the room with masking tape.
- Ask each participant, one at a time, to share his or her leadership history poster with the rest of the group, describing the events depicted. (Two minutes per person)
- Once all participants have described their posters, debrief the activity by having the group compare and contrast the different experiences that were shared and their learnings. (Ten minutes)
- Conclude with a discussion about the impact we have on others and their leadership styles. Encourage participants to think about the influence they have in their reporting relationships. Address the following questions:
- What common leadership experiences did you notice?
- What were some of the most significant events in peoples leadership histories?
- In what ways might we actively impact leadership within an organization? (Ten minutes)
Instead of participants drawing their Leadership Histories, they can use magazines and cut out pictures that represent the events of their past, then tape or glue them to a poster.
Leadership History Survey
Instructions: Answer each of the following questions in as much depth as possible. Wait for the facilitator to read each question rather than reading ahead.
- Where were you born? What type of neighborhood was it (city, suburb, or country)?
- How large was your family? Any brothers or sisters? Were you youngest, oldest, or in the middle?
- What games did you enjoy playing as a child? Did you usually lead, follow, or do a little of both?
- List your best friends as you grew up. What did you especially like about each of them?
- Name an adult (a parent or other adult) you were close to as you grew up. What leadership qualities did this person exhibit?
- Name a teacher who had a strong influence on you as you grew up. What did this person do that influenced you?
- What was your first "real" job? What leadership learnings did you obtain from that job?
- List all the jobs you have had in your career.
- Who was your best boss? In what ways was this person a good leader?
- Who was your worst boss? In what ways was this person a poor leader?
- Identify mentors (formal or informal) who have influenced you. What changes have you made as a result of their influence?
- What one significant piece of leadership advice would you give to others?

Holding on to a Vision: The Willy Brandt Centre in Jerusalem
"Over there; that's our house!" The German political scientist Matthias Ries is pointing towards the Abu Tor quarter of town, and you can hear the pride in his voice. He's coordinator of the Willy Brandt Centre, an international meeting place in Jerusalem, which has opened for the first time in October 2003. Here, Israelis and Palestinians are invited to enter into dialogue with each other, and with Europeans.
It took a lot of commitment and staying power even to get this far. Matthias Ries, a civilian peace activist, has already been in Jerusalem for three years, pushing the project towards completion. From a tiny office in the Old Town, Ries set up seminars and workshops for Israeli and Palestinian partner organisations. Now, he's backed by a small team of Palestinians, Israelis and Germans; and now, he is running a real Centre, named after the German politician and Nobel prizewinner, Willy Brandt.
In times like these, holding on to the vision of such a meeting-place is no easy task (nor, indeed, has it ever been easy). All official contact between Israelis and Palestinians has been cut off, the future of the Akaba peace plan is in doubt, and projects promoting dialogue – as in the days of the Oslo peace process – are actually far from popular. The vision behind this project dates back to 1996. As the Oslo negotiations took their course, young politicians from all three sides – the Palestinian Fatah youth, the youth wing of the Israeli Labour Party, and the German Young Socialists (Jusos – the youth wing of the SPD) – agreed on a contract to establish the Centre in Jerusalem. Since March 2002, the project has been under the aegis of the "Socialist Youth International", and further partners have joined them since then.
Dialogue? Yes – but not at any price!
With the escalation in violence since the start of the second Intifada in September 2000, the actual establishment of the Centre receded in importance. It seemed much more urgent simply to keep any kind of dialogue going at all - even if this meant accepting that there's more than one way of interpreting the word "dialogue": in response to the wishes of those taking part, Israelis and Palestinians began holding their own, separate, seminars and workshops. In other words, there were no shared meetings between the two groups.
"Nowadays", says Matthias Ries, "I don't have the motivation to persuade both sides that it matters to maintain dialogue. In fact, I'm very far from doing such a thing, and that has a lot to do with having experienced the "encounter projects" during the Oslo process. I mean, it can't be our goal to bring two individuals together and say, 'Oh, now they'll notice that the other is also a human being, or that he doesn't fit their image of the enemy.'" Ries insists that it cannot be his task to convince the partners – i.e. the Israelis and Palestinians – to accept anything they just don't want to accept right now.
That dialogue is possible nonetheless lies in the very nature of the project. In many cases, the Internet helps, allowing anyone to access the results of "the other side's" seminars and workshops. Although there is a widespread inability to communicate across the gulf, a series of seminars entitled "Deciding for History" does offer one way of breaking the silence. It allows each side the opportunity to present its own view of the country's history, by means of an image-based, multimedia presentation in the Internet – and it enables everyone to see how that history is perceived by the other side. By using the Internet in this way, Ries hopes to allow all those participating to comprehend the other side's viewpoint. In the long term, he hopes, this will lead to a meeting of minds on a basis of equality. The main targets of this project are young adults, who may later turn out to be the political decision-makers in their society.
"What does peace mean to you?"
More than 30 seminars in this series have already taken place; a highly promising project, says Ries. And once the results have been evaluated, the idea is to be taken a stage further. The next phase will be entitled, "Decision for Future". Matthias Ries explains: "We want to ask the participants, 'What does peace mean to you, and what can you contribute to the achievement of peace?', without shifting the focus onto what others need to do." Ries is particularly proud of the fact that those taking part are now collaborating actively on the project and making their own suggestions as to how things should proceed. "During the first phase of my work", Ries recalls, "I was busy knocking on doors, making offers, saying 'Hello, here I am; I'm your contact from the Willy Brandt Centre - what are the chances of working together?'" Now, however, more and more people are approaching him and the Centre.
Some want to take part in seminars, while others come requesting assistance –for "Future Forum", for example: a project from the Israeli side, conceived as a kind of Think Tank for the study of important current political issues. On the Palestinian side, the most popular seminars are those on how to prepare for elections; should elections ever actually take place, people here want to be ready for them. In Germany too, says Ries, there is a lot of interest in the opportunities afforded by the Centre: "It allows young German socialists to encounter Israelis and Palestinians on an equal footing. One week, they can be talking to young Palestinian politicians, and the next week they can be doing the same thing with Israelis."
Holding on to the vision
The opening of the Willy Brandt Centre marks an important stage on a long journey; yet a great deal remains to be done. Most Palestinians live on the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, and will therefore have no access to the Centre - for they are not permitted to enter Jerusalem. Thus, the Centre's staff will still have to travel to Nablus, Ramallah or Gaza City in order to hold seminars and keep contact. Moreover, says Matthias Ries: for the time being, "separation" will also be maintained in the Centre itself: "For now, activities at the Centre will continue on the basis of separation. We will carry on holding separate seminars as long as this represent the wishes of the participants, especially those on the Palestinian side. But: in the same building!"
Sooner or later, Ries hopes, there will come a time when all parties will enjoy equal access to the Jerusalem Centre, and will be able to use it as a forum for communication and exchange amongst equal partners. The right place has already been found: according to international law, the house that will host the Willy Brandt Centre is located on the Green Line – the former border between the Eastern and Western halves of Jerusalem. It's a symbolic gesture; and now, the task is to bring the vision to life.

D-Day Remembered
The D-Day period In June 1944 will be remembered by many as a time of personal tragedy and loss, but despite the trauma and sadness, D-Day is remembered as the beginning of the end of war in Europe.
In what became one of the most dramatic and daring operations of the Second World War, a concentrated effort by the allied forces made an assault on the Normandy beaches of France to create a Second Front in the fight to rid Europe of Hitlerism.
In this commemorative film we share the memories of; Women who were left behind; the first soldiers on the beaches; those in Operations and those who remember Southern England which had became what amounted to a giant army camp accommodating millions of troops.
Includes many rare archive photographs and contemporary footage of the Normandy beaches and preparations in Britain for the commemoratlon of this solemn yet momentous occasion.
Approximately 40 minutes duration.

But Wait, There's More!Posted: January 14th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Event, Lynn, Marblehead, Salem | Tags: Cookie Creations, cooking demonstration, Girl Scout Cookies, Lynn Restaurant Association, Relief for Haiti, Taste of the North Shore, The Blue Ox | No Comments »
Wow, this winter is turning out to be full of awesome food fun. After we posted the upcoming events article earlier this week, several more items came across our desk that we wanted to let you know about.
First of all, we can't believe we hadn't heard about the Cookie Creations event happening on January 21 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem. A fundraiser for the Girl Scouts, this one sounds like a take on the Iron Chef TV show: a competition among local chefs to create the most fabulous dessert with the secret ingredient being, you guessed it, Girl Scout Cookies. For $30 (two for $50) you can taste the treats, mingle with local celebs, and vote on the crowd favorite. How can we refuse an event like this when we can't even say no to a Thin Mint?
On January 24, Matt O'Neill is at it again, helming another cooking demo and dinner at The Blue Ox. This one focuses on braising, with braised short ribs as the second course. Sounds perfect for a warming mid-winter menu. And if you can't make it this time, the folks at the Ox tell us that for 2010 they plan to hold cooking demos the fourth Tuesday of every month, so mark your calendar now.
Coming up on January 30, Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead is again hosting their popular Taste of the North Shore. This year's all-you-can-eat buffet includes fabulous foods from A&J King Artisan Bakers, The Blue Ox, Grapevine Restaurant, Passage to India, Pellino's, Sixty2onWharf, and Sticky Rice to name a few. The ubiquitous Billy Costa will be on hand to emcee the event, which also includes live music, dancing, an auction, and a raffle in which the first prize is great seats to the 2010 Opening Day Red Sox game against the Yankees. The event starts at 6:30p.m., and tickets are $50 per person. For more information, call (781) 631-9300 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lastly, we want to give a big shout out to the Lynn Restaurant Association for standing up to organize a relief effort for the survivors of the Haiti earthquake. Please check out the list of participating restaurants at Lynnhappens.com to see what and where they are collecting.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CUR) announced that it will present preclinical data in five poster presentations at Neuroscience 2012, the 42nd Annual Meeting for the Society for Neuroscience., October 13-17, in New Orleans (http://www.sfn.org/AM2012/). These posters will cover new data pertaining to Neuralstem's NSI-566 spinal cord stem cell line for cell therapy, and its patented, neurogenic small molecule compounds: NSI-144, NSI-150, NSI-158 and NSI-189. Abstracts of the poster are available at http://www.sfn.org/am2012/index.aspx?pagename=final_program
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20061221/DCTH007LOGO )
NSI-566 is in a Phase I trial to test the safety of the cells and procedure in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). The last patient was treated in August, 2012. Neuralstem was recently approved to commence a NSI-566 trial in stroke in China, through its Chinese subsidiary, Neuralstem China, and has submitted an IND to the FDA to commence a trial in spinal cord injury with the same cells in the U.S.
NSI-144, NSI-150, NSI-158 and NSI-189 are small molecule, orally active compounds that stimulate new neuron growth in the hippocampus. NSI-189 is currently in a Phase Ib clinical trial testing its safety for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).
The titles and schedule for Neuralstem's poster presentations at Neuroscience 2012 are:
NSI-144, NSI-150, NSI-158 and NSI-189
About Neuralstem
Neuralstem's patented technology enables the ability to produce neural stem cells of the human brain and spinal cord in commercial quantities, and the ability to control the differentiation of these cells constitutively into mature, physiologically relevant human neurons and glia. Neuralstem has recently treated the last patient in an FDA-approved Phase I safety clinical trial for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, and has been awarded orphan status designation by the FDA.
In addition to ALS, the company is also targeting major central nervous system conditions with its NSI-566 cell therapy platform, including spinal cord injury, ischemic stroke and glioblastoma (brain cancer). The company has submitted an IND (Investigational New Drug) application to the FDA for a Phase I safety trial in spinal cord injury.
Neuralstem also has the ability to generate stable human neural stem cell lines suitable for the systematic screening of large chemical libraries. Through this proprietary screening technology, Neuralstem has discovered and patented compounds that may stimulate the brain's capacity to generate new neurons, possibly reversing the pathologies of some central nervous system conditions. The company is in a Phase Ib safety trial evaluating NSI-189, its first neurogenic small molecule compound, for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Additional indications could include chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), Alzheimer's disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

February 15, 2012
I've only had two pilot auditions so far, and one of them I actually passed on (gasp!!) because I didn't like the character/script. The first audition was for a really cool CBS pilot and the character was a lot of fun to play. I know with episodic casting, the process is very fast, but I don't really know how it works with pilots. I know that the process can be fast, or take weeks. The other pilot really isn't worth mentioning.
Last week, I shot a commercial/print ad for Speedstick deodorant. I didn't even have to audition! This situation is another lesson in why building great relationships and doing good work on set can bring forth other opportunities. Some of you may remember that in the spring of last year, I filmed a guest spot on a web series called "Stay At Home Dad". Here is the link to my episode here.
So, the same production company that produces this series was commissioned to shoot several spots for this product. They knew that they wanted me for one of the spots because they loved what I did on SAHD, but when they went to the clients, the clients still wanted me to come in and audition with all of the other actors. However, when they showed the clients the web series episode, they decided to give me the part then and there.
When I was on set for the commercial shoot last week, I was talking to one the producers, Brandon Williams, who also stars in the web series, and he told me that the success of the web series has opened more doors for them. They have been taking meetings with various networks who are interested in turning the web series into a half hour sitcom. Brandon told me that if the show gets picked up, he wants me to appear in one of the episodes! And that, my friends, is how you cultivate lasting professional relationships in this business. You do a great job on set, keep a fun and positive attitude, and make people fall in love with you and your work.
Also, as I type this, I'm on hold for another commercial that shoots in a couple of days. I'll get to spend the whole day eating strawberries and apples if I book it.
In other news, I started a new acting class and I'm very happy with it so far. I'm taking an advanced technique/scene study class with Terry Schreiber, the owner/founder of T. Schreiber Studio. I feel as though I'm being challenged in this class and I've already learned so much by being there. It's a hard class though. It's 5 hours long and that can be pretty brutal, especially when I'm hungry.
And finally, I'm still working on my "Pseudo-Casting Director" series, but it's A LOT to put on "paper"! I hope to start rolling those out in a couple of weeks. We are moving into the callback phase of the casting and we are very excited to bring back some of these actors and see what else they can bring to these amazing characters. I will keep everyone posted as things progress.
ETA: After posting this, I found out that I booked the commercial and the role in the pilot has been cast.

Lol Well what if your not the modeling look? And thats a hustle itself tooReplyDelete
It's up to you to figure out which day job is best for you. You asked me MY favorite and since the only thing I've ever done aside from acting is modeling/restaurant work, I chose accordingly.ReplyDelete

I got a question, how did you know acting was for you? I love acting and the thing is that it is kinda depressing when you having booked work in a while. I let it get to me sometimes, in terms of doubts. I know I want this but it scares me not seeing work.

Millions of people take the safety of their food, water and consumer products for granted on a daily basis. Why? Because of three letters: NSF. NSF certification is your key to making sure that the products you use meet strict standards for public health protection; EPDM 70 durometer NSF approved O-rings are your answer. In the rubber industry, the most important standard by far, is the NSF Standard 61. Rubber compounds submitted to NSF undergo rigorous testing to determine whether any contaminants leach or migrate from the material when in long term contact with drinking water, and if so, if the level of migration is acceptable from a public health viewpoint. These compounds also comply with FDA requirements. EPDM O-rings provide resistance to heat, water and steam, alkali, mild acidic oxygenated solvents, ozone and UV exposure. EPDM O-ring compounds also withstand the effect of brake fluids and Skydrol, and other hydraulic fluids. EPDM compounds are not recommended for gasoline, petroleum oil and grease, and hydrocarbon environments. NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is an US Standard issued by the National Sanitation Foundation which defines the acceptable levels of contaminating substances and impurities that may leach or migrate from components and devices into drinking water systems. Whether you manufacture valves, faucets, copper tubing, sinks, thermostatic mixing valves, backflow preventers, toilets, septic tanks, showers or practically any other type of plumbing product, NSF provides the testing and certifications you need to gain product acceptance and code compliance across North America. Faucets and plumbing products intended for contact with drinking water should be tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61. This American National Standard limits the amount of impurities that individual products can introduce into a homes water supply, including lead and other metals, volatile organic chemicals, phthalates and bisphenol A.

Thanks to a lot of sweat and some intense bargain hunting, we have two exquisite new bathroom makeovers at our house.
I love the new rooms, but I am a bit wistful at the same time because we lost a treasured and irreplaceable piece of wall art in the renovation.
First, let me tell you all about the bathrooms. My husband, Dan, and I try very hard to keep our home looking decent. We do global cleanings weekly, which means all floors are swept and washed, rugs are shaken, furniture dusted and bathrooms sterilized. But, with five kids at home, three dogs, one cat and full-time jobs, there isn't a lot of time or money to keep up with repairs.
Such was the case with our bathrooms, which had not seen any major work in 10 years — no paint, no new linens. The bathrooms, like other areas of the house, were well beyond shabby chic. They had deteriorated to just plain shabby. The off-white paint was full of stains. The dark walnut finish had worn off the oak cabinetry and the hardware had fallen off some of the cabinet doors and drawers.
So, I kept my eye out for some inspiration. In my several-times-per-week pilgrimages to T.J. Maxx and Marshall's, I cruised the bath section and found some gorgeous, affordable shower curtains. One had an abstract fleur-de-lis pattern in cream, turquoise and charcoal gray; the other was pastel teal with pop-art botanicals in chocolate brown, light mocha, spring green and brick red. These fabrics moved me and the price was right, so I snapped them up. There were two in the fleur-de-lis pattern, so I grabbed both of them along with the pop-art botanicals, which was the only one available in that print.
Whenever I start a renovation project, I always try to find the textiles first (rugs or drapes) and work from there. Paint colors can always be easily matched to fabrics.
Dan painted the downstairs bathroom a beautiful creamy off-white as the backdrop for the fleur-de-lis pattern. By happenstance, I found towels at Marshall's weeks later that were a perfect match in color and pattern. I used one of the fleur-de-lis curtains as it was intended and hung it at the shower. The other I transformed into a valance for the shower curtain and a matching set of curtains for the window. It looked amazing, especially after we added luxurious, but bargain-priced charcoal gray bath rugs and an abstract painting of birds in flight. A sawed off wine bottle sits on the countertop filled with a display of $2.99 spray painted tree branches and twinkling LED lights.
The upstairs bathroom was a similar story. Dan painted the walls a rich mocha to match the pop-art botanicals. I found striped bath towels in brick red, white, dark brown, mocha and spring green — exactly the colors in the curtain. We added pastel teal bath rugs and brick red window curtains. Dan replaced all of the missing hardware on the freshly stained oak cabinetry. He also glued down the old almond colored Formica counter, which is 28 years old, but in great condition and not the least bit ugly. And, we spray painted perhaps the most ugly component of all — the old, rusted metal baseboard heating system. We also added the same $2.99 LED tree branches displayed in a sawed off green wine bottle. The final result was another "wow!"
But, we had spent all that was in our meager budget and I had no wall art. What to do? I had a framed picture on the wall behind the toilet, but purple flowers in a vase went with the old purple bathroom. So I got this brilliant idea to scan the new shower curtain on my computer and print out a new piece of custom artwork.
"Genius!" I told Dan as I patted myself on the back. And that's when I noticed it. The bathroom was decorator beautiful, but I had lost a treasure. When our son, Jeff, now 13, was 8 years old, he had taken a black flair pen and drawn two little basketball players and a hoop on the wall behind the door. It was a very naughty thing to do. I chided him for it, but through the years, whenever I looked at it, I smiled.
Now it was gone, covered over by the new paint job.
"Dan, Jeff's basketball boys are gone," I moaned.
"Oh well," Dan said.
"You know what I wished I had done? I wish I had taken a picture of the drawing with my cell phone so we could have it forever. I would have given Jeff a copy when he was 30 years old. We would have laughed so hard."
"Yup," Dan said, who was exhausted from all the work he'd done.
Our dining room is probably next on the decorator's remake, but I will be sure to somehow preserve one section of the wall. The kids measured themselves against that wall for the last six years and their names, heights and dates recorded are all on display.
I can't lose that, no matter how chic I want the dining room to look. It's rare and precious and I want to keep it forever.
