PostgreSQL Wire Protocol¶
Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Server Compatibility and Implementation Status
- Client Compatibility
- Implementation Differences
CrateDB contains support for the PostgreSQL wire protocol v3.
If a node is started with postgres support enabled it will bind to port
5432 by default. To use a custom port, set the corresponding
Ports in the Configuration.
However, even though connecting PostgreSQL tools and client libraries is
supported, the actual SQL statements have to be supported by CrateDB's SQL
dialect. A notable difference is that CrateDB doesn't support transactions,
which is why clients should generally enable
In order to use
setFetchSize in JDBC it is possible to set autocommit
to false.
The client will utilize the fetchSize on SELECT statements and only load up to fetchSize rows into memory.
See PostgreSQL JDBC Query docs <https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/query.html> for more information.
Write operations will still behave as if autocommit was enabled and commit or rollback calls are ignored.
Server Compatibility and Implementation Status¶
CrateDB emulates PostgreSQL server version
SSL Support¶
SSL support is only available in the Enterprise Edition. If enterprise is
disabled, all
SSLRequests are answered with
N, indicating to the client
that SSL is not available.
See also
If the Enterprise Edition is enabled, authentication methods can be configured using Host Based Authentication (HBA).
If the enterprise functionality is disabled, all "start up" requests are
answered with an
AuthenticationOK response.
After the authentication has succeeded the server has the possibility to send
ParameterStatus messages to the client.
These are used to communicate information like
server_version (emulates
PostgreSQL 9.5) or
CrateDB also sends a message containing the
crate_version parameter.
This contains the current
CrateDB version number.
This information is useful for clients to detect that they're connecting to
CrateDB instead of a PostgreSQL instance.
Database selection¶
Since CrateDB uses schemas instead of databases, the
database parameter
sets the default schema name for future queries. If no schema is specified, the
doc will be used as default. Additionally, the only supported charset
Query Modes¶
Simple Query¶
The Simple Query protocol mode is fully implemented.
Extended Query¶
The Extended Query protocol mode is implemented with the following limitations:
- The
ParameterDescriptionmessage works for the most common use cases except for DDL statements.
- To optimize the execution of bulk operations the execution of statements is
delayed until the
Syncmessage is received
Copy Operations¶
CrateDB does not support the
COPY sub-protocol.
Function Call¶
The function call sub-protocol is not supported since it's a legacy feature.
Canceling Requests¶
Operations can be cancelled using the
KILL statement, hence the
CancelRequest message is unsupported. Consequently, the server won't send
BackendKeyData message during connection initialization.
For improved compatibility, the
pg_catalog schema is implemented containing
following tables:
Some clients require the
pg_catalog.pg_type in order to be able to stream
arrays or other non-primitive types.
For compatibility reasons there is a trimmed down pg_type table available in CrateDB:
cr> select oid, typname, typarray, typelem, typlen from pg_catalog.pg_type order by oid;
| oid | typname | typarray | typelem | typlen |
| 16 | bool | 1000 | 0 | 1 |
| 18 | char | 1002 | 0 | 1 |
| 20 | int8 | 1016 | 0 | 8 |
| 21 | int2 | 1005 | 0 | 2 |
| 23 | int4 | 1007 | 0 | 4 |
| 114 | json | 199 | 0 | -1 |
| 199 | _json | 0 | 114 | -1 |
| 700 | float4 | 1021 | 0 | 4 |
| 701 | float8 | 1022 | 0 | 8 |
| 1000 | _bool | 0 | 16 | -1 |
| 1002 | _char | 0 | 18 | -1 |
| 1005 | _int2 | 0 | 21 | -1 |
| 1007 | _int4 | 0 | 23 | -1 |
| 1015 | _varchar | 0 | 1043 | -1 |
| 1016 | _int8 | 0 | 20 | -1 |
| 1021 | _float4 | 0 | 700 | -1 |
| 1022 | _float8 | 0 | 701 | -1 |
| 1043 | varchar | 1015 | 0 | -1 |
| 1184 | timestamptz | 1185 | 0 | 8 |
| 1185 | _timestamptz | 0 | 1184 | -1 |
SELECT 20 rows in set (... sec)
This is just a snapshot of the table. Check table information_schema.columns to get information for all supported columns.
Show Transaction Isolation¶
For compatibility with JDBC the
SHOW TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL statement
is implemented:
cr> show transaction isolation level;
| transaction_isolation |
| read uncommitted |
SHOW 1 row in set (... sec)
BEGIN/COMMIT Statements¶
For compatibility with clients that use the Postgres wire protocol, such as the Golang lib/pq and pgx drivers, the full PostgreSQL syntax of the BEGIN and COMMIT statements is implemented, for example:
cr> BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED,
BEGIN OK, 0 rows affected (... sec)
cr> COMMIT
COMMIT OK, 0 rows affected (... sec)
Since CrateDB does not support transactions, both the
COMMIT and
statement and any of its parameters are ignored.
Client Compatibility¶
pgjdbc JDBC drivers version
9.4.1209 and above are compatible.
reflection methods like
conn.getMetaData().getTables(...)won't work since the required tables are unavailable in CrateDB.
As a workaround it's possible to use
SHOW TABLESor query the
information_schematables manually using
GEO_SHAPEcolumns can be streamed as
JSONbut require pgjdbc version
9.4.1210or newer.
Multidimensional arrays will be streamed as
JSONencoded string to avoid a protocol limitation where all sub-arrays are required to have the same length.
The behavior of
PreparedStatement.executeBatchin error cases depends on in which stage an error occurs: A
BatchUpdateExceptionis thrown if no processing has been done yet, whereas single operations failing after the processing started are indicated by an
EXECUTE_FAILED(-3) return value.
Transaction limitations as described above.
escape processingenabled could prevent the usage of Object Literals in case an object key's starting character clashes with a JDBC escape keyword (see also JDBC escape syntax). Currently, disabling
escape processingwill remedy this, but prevent the Extended Query API from working due to a bug at pgjdbc.
Connection Failover and Load Balancing¶
Connection failover and load balancing is supported as described here: PostgreSQL JDBC connection failover.
It is not recommended to use the targetServerType parameter since CrateDB has no concept of master-replica nodes.
Implementation Differences¶
The PostgreSQL Wire Protocol makes it easy to use many PostgreSQL compatible tools and libraries directly with CrateDB. However, many of these tools assume that they are talking to PostgreSQL specifically, and thus rely on SQL extensions and idioms that are unique to PostgreSQL. Because of this, some tools or libraries may not work with other SQL databases such as CrateDB.
CrateDB's SQL query engine enables real-time search & aggregations for online analytic processing (OLAP) and business intelligence (BI) with the benefit of the ability to scale horizontally. The use-cases of CrateDB are different than those of PostgreSQL, as CrateDB's specialized storage schema and query execution engine address different requirements (see High Level Architecture).
The listed features below cover the main differences in implementation and dialect between CrateDB and PostgreSQL. A detailed comparison between CrateDB's SQL dialect and standard SQL is defined in Compatibility.
CrateDB does not support the distinct sub-protocol that is used to serve
COPY operations and provides another implementation for transferring bulk
data using the COPY FROM and COPY TO statements.
The definition of structured values by using
JSON types, composite types
HSTORE are not supported. CrateDB alternatively allows the definition of
nested documents (of type object) that store fieldscontaining
any CrateDB supported data type, including nested object types.
Type Casts¶
CrateDB accepts the Type Conversion syntax for conversion of one data type to another (see Value Expressions).
Declaration of Arrays¶
While multidimensional arrays in PostgreSQL must have matching extends for each dimension, CrateDB allows different length nested arrays as this example shows:
cr> select [[1,2,3],[1,2]] from sys.cluster;
| [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2]] |
| [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2]] |
SELECT 1 row in set (... sec)
Accessing Arrays¶
Fetching arbitrary rectangular slices of an array using
lower-bound:upper-bound expression (see Arrays) in the array subscript
is not supported.
Text Search Functions and Operators¶
The functions and operators provided by PostgreSQL for full-text search (see PostgreSQL Fulltext Search) are not compatible with those provided by CrateDB. For more information about the built-in full-text search in CrateDB refer to Fulltext Search.
If you are missing features, functions or dialect improvements and have a great use case for it, let us know on Github. We're always improving and extending CrateDB, and we love to hear feedback.
Expression Evaluation¶
Unlike PostgreSQL, expressions are not evaluated if the query results in 0 rows either because of the table is empty or by a not matching where clause.

Still Images from the Staged Workshop of I WAS NEVER ALONE

Porky's Spring Planting is a seven minute Looney Tunes short film starring Porky Pig, released in July 1938. Like all Looney Tune cartoons of the time, it was produced by Leon Schlesinger and distributed by Vitaphone.
A 1938 issue of the Film Daily called it "Farmer Troubles" and gave the following synopsis:
"Garden activities are started by Porky with the help of his pooch, and they plant all the seeds for the various vegetables, with special emphasis on the corn. When the crops are ripe, the hen starts selling tickets to the rest of the chickens, turning the garden into a cafeteria. The corn gets special attention. Before everything is gone, Porky makes a deal with the chickens, agreeing to plant a separate garden of corn for them."

Silver Shadow II
Engine Size:
Ext Color:
Other Color
Int Color:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and very collectible example of this 1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II sedan. This was the best and last year of the legendary Silver Shadow series and this was one of the very last models built!
The car was originally purchased and serviced by its original owners at the Rolls Royce dealership of Newport Beach, California on 2/23/1981 and owned for many years by the same family until sold to its most recent owner in 2010 and i
n recent years it has been serviced at the 'British Car Clinic', the renown independent Rolls Royce/Bentley specialists of Santa Monica, CA. Finished in it's simply stunning original two-tone 'Porcelain White over Athenian Blue' color paint with matching Rolls Royce hubcaps and pin stripes and with original matching 'Dark Blue with Magnolia Piping' color Connolly leather hides and matching carpeting. The paintwork is in quite exceptional condition throughout and all the chromework including the Rolls Royce grille is absolutely outstanding and virtually flawless! The interior is also in very fine and exceptional condition (obviously always garaged from the sun and elements) and the mohair headliner is virtually perfect. The original and magnificent burled walnut woodwork is also in very fine condition throughout. All the power options and electric windows are working as they should and this well maintained Rolls Royce engine runs extremely strong. These cars are not slow - the engine purrs like a kitten, never stalls or idles rough and is extremely reliable - there is plenty of power to pull away at the lights and it cruises at high speeds with absolute ease. The transmission shift is almost imperceptibly smooth and the temperature always remains cool.
This particular model drives particularly well and must be driven to be fully appreciated. Without a doubt you will look long and hard to find a finer example of this rare and very collectible and super striking 1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II with only some 52K original miles, obviously always garaged with no accidents and never abused! The car will be sold with its very rare original factory 'Construction and Test Records' folder showing the original import papers from the UK and the car's original order form showing its original specifications and invoice for 26,595 English Pounds, including the specially ordered with 'Non-standard' two-tone paint, 'Top Roll, Instrument Board Roll, Underdash Trim and Radio Surround in Dark Blue, internally adjustable passenger side mirror and Wheel Discs in Porcelain White', original car assembly summarys, final inspection reports, safety checks, engine assembly, final road test, final paint inspection, etc; a rare and simply stunning amount of exclusive and original hand written documentation showing the painstaking effort to produce the world's finest hand built autombile of its day. It was shipped from the Crewe, England in March 1980.
The Silver Shadow II is truly a sensual car that you can drive with your fingertips, smooth and relatively silent, it's thoroughly therapeutic for both drivers and passengers. The delightful precision action of the electrically powered steering column gear change and the ultra light weighted power steering allows one to park this 5000lbs of pure luxury with literally one finger and this long but actually quite slender car is anything but ponderous thanks to it's torque and brilliant turning radius! The ride is truly luxurious from a high riding position.
For those who are unfamiliar, Rolls Royce no longer exists as it had for over one hundred years. This is the last in the original line of cars hand built in the legendary Rolls Royce factory in Crewe, England with a quality and craftsmanship that far surpasses that of today's mass produced models with many BMW parts - this is indeed a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, from a time when Rolls Royce was truly building the world's finest automobiles - a great investment for the Rolls Royce enthusiast or collector or simply an outstandingly striking example of a very rare and unusual Rolls Royce for the discerning luxury classic car owner!

Welcome to the Trüpp Legal Corner designed to keep business leaders informed of critical employment legislation and case law.
ACA reporting for those who missed the deadline
ACA forms were due to the IRS electronically by early April making those who failed to meet the deadline vulnerable to substantial financial penalties. For employers that missed the deadline, filing late is better than not at all, and will result in a reduced penalty amount.
New disability claims procedures
The Department of Labor (DOL) implemented new procedures for processing disability claims. These changes took effect on April 1st, going forward, employer-sponsored plans and plan documents need to be updated as needed.
Washington state updates equal pay law
Washington state recently passed an update to their equal pay legislation that creates additional requirements for employers. The new law will expand potential liability for workplace practices and provide new efforts to achieve pay equality.

12.27 Kilos of Cocaine seized at the Hidalgo/Reynosa International BridgePosted on April 16, 2009
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the
Hidalgo/Reynosa International Bridge in Texas seized close to 12.27
kilograms of cocaine.
CBP officers working at the Hidalgo/Reynosa International Bridge
intercepted the northbound 2005 Ford F-250 pickup truck on April
16, 2009. During the inspection process the vehicle was referred for
an X-ray scan that revealed anomalies within the vehicle's dash and
firewall areas.
"Tyson," a narcotic detector dog, alerted officers to the presence of
narcotic odors emanating from the pickup truck's front bumper.
While conducting an intensive examination of the vehicle, officers
discovered 11 cocaine packages concealed within a man-made
factory compartment near the right front tire wheel assembly.
The driver, Rafael Martinez Galvan, a Mexican citizen, age 32 from
Conroe, Texas was arrested on federal drug charges. After his
arrest, Martinez Galvan was transferred to the custody of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents who continue
to investigate this failed smuggling attempt. CBP officers seized the
Ford F-250 and the cocaine.

Without any explanation Ittle Dew 2 has disappeared from the Switch eShop in North America. The game is still available over in Europe, so we're not quite sure what's going on. Usually these situations apply to an age rating, but Ittle Dew 2 has been available for quite some time. It would be surprising to see it yanked this long after launch due to a ratings issue. We'll try to get word on what's going on and report back.
UPDATE - The developer of Ittle Dew 2 has taken to Twitter to discuss the situation, and they're hoping to get the game back on Switch at some point.

Which I mailed off to him and to this day haven't gotten my traded unit.
Fortunately for me I have his name, address, and phone number and most of all delivery confirmation and insurance papers.
I think this week coming I will go to my post master and start to file for federal crime of fraud by mail.
I hate to do it but I will give him one more chance with a phone call to tell him of my intentions then proceed with the formalities if I don't get what was suppose to be sent to me or my microphones back.

From MU massive MISO to pathwise MU massive MIMO
SPAWC 2014, 15th IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications, 22-25 June 2014, Toronto, Canada
The Interfering Broadcast Channel (IBC) applies to the downlink of cellular and heterogenous networks, which are limited by multi-user (MU) interference. The interference alignment (IA) concept has shown that interference does not need to be inevitable. In particular spatial IA in MIMO IBC allows for low latency. However, IA requires perfect and typically global Channel State Information at the Transmitter(s) (CSIT), whose acquisition does not scale with network size. Hence, designs that are optimal in terms of Degrees of Freedom (DoF) may not be so in terms of more relevant net DoF, accounting for CSI acquistion or at finite SNR. Also, the design of transmitters (Txs) and receivers (Rxs) is coupled and hence needs to be centralized or duplicated. Here we propose to take advantage of Massive MIMO simplifications, esp. for mmWave, by considering (multi-) path CSIT for crosslinks, which can be obtained without feedback. We consider a hierarchical cross/direct link beamformer design, maximizing Weighted Sum Rate (WSR) with partial CSIT at finite SNR, requiring on local CSIT. We also point out the use of receive antennas in genuine MU Massive MIMO.

A user interface, also called a "UI" or simply an "interface," is the means in which a person controls a software application or hardware device. A good user interface provides a "user-friendly" experience, allowing the user to interact with the software or hardware in a natural and intuitive way.
User Interface Design in a software application focuses on anticipating what users might need to do and ensuring that the interface has elements that are easy to access, understand, and used to facilitate those actions. UI brings together concepts from interaction design, visual design, and information architecture.
Algo Engines is designed as a B2B application targeting users of wind turbines, solar plants, biomass power plants etc. We have a web and a mobile interface to facilitate operations and analytics of IoT devices. As a first step, we identified the user types or personas:
We understand the value which data analytics brings to our users' assets and we provide them with a holistic & well organized platform for IoT data analytics. As Brenda Laurel rightly said "A design isn't finished until somebody is using it", the purpose of our web application and mobile app are not totally accomplished until the user is thoroughly benefitted with it and keeps looking forward for more from it. We aim to leverage the above UI design principles to extract value from big data analytics, cloud and predictive modelling for our customers.
In our upcoming posts, we will share more details on how we designed, redesigned our UI over the course of time. We hope to share some more steps in the design process that we adopted.

Joan Jett Sinner
Published Sep 01, 2006As exciting as it is to know that Joan Jett hasnt mellowed a bit, it would be even more exciting if she put out a great comeback record. Ever since her riot grrrl re-appraisal a whopping 12 years ago now, Jetts been relatively silent on the recording front, though shes remained a touring force. The problem here lies entirely with the new material, co-written mostly with Le Tigres Kathleen Hanna and former Bryan Adams collaborator Jim Vallance. The strange thing is that those two aesthetic arch-enemies actually share credit on some of the same songs, the results being the dogs breakfast youd think they would be. Things get downright silly on Jetts own "Fetish, featuring a "vocal arrangement by Kathleen Hanna that has Jett articulating the title like "fat dish. In Jetts tradition of nailing cover versions, the two best tracks are the Sweets bitter bisexual anthem "A.C.D.C. and the Replacements "Androgynous sadly, thats about as queer as it gets. Jett fans who want to hear her get her rocks off should check her Peaches collab on Impeach My Bush instead. (Discovery Docs)

Head Vector 100 One HF (2012)
Rating: / 5
Price: $599.00
Year: 2012
Level: 4
Gender: Female
Easy to get on, with dialed stance angles, a fuzzy warm liner, fat power strap, and cool Spine-Tech buckles—no wonder testers dug this boot. As with the men's Vector, the 100 One's forefoot/toebox fit is roomy, but the ankle/heel fit is snug, and the boot's flex is way tougher than its rating suggests. Notes: 40 mm Velcro powerstrap offers solid closure, dual elliptical cam style cuff adjustment offers maximal stance modifications, Supermacro ratchet top buckle catch offers quick adjustment for wide or skinny calves.

A little girl sat on the swing set in her front yard, blankly staring at the grass beneath her white shoes, she did not move when her father placed his hand upon her shoulder.
"Octavia, come inside now, it is getting late."
Still she sat, silently.
"I know that you are sad right now, but you have to come in, sweetie."
The small child slowly lifter her head and stared at her father, crocodile tears running down her porcelain skin.
"O, I know that this is hard, but you can do it, your mother needs you to be strong."
With a nod, she slid off the swing and slowly walked into her home where she found her mother sitting on the couch near the fireplace, a photo album rested on her lap and a glass of red wine in her right hand.
"Mommy?" Octavia's voice trembled.
Her mother turned her head and looked at her daughter with a sad face.
"Don't be sad, mommy, you have to be strong for daddy."
Octavia walked to her mother's side, placed a small hand on her shoulder and despite the tears drying on her cheeks, she was able to genuinely smile. Her mother stared into the depths of her daughter's eyes but said nothing as she was fighting the urge to break down.
"Be strong, mommy." Octavia said before turning to go to her bedroom.
She pulled herself up onto her bed and stared at the ceiling, the muffled sounds of her mother crying in the living room filled her ears.
"Daddy, how can I be strong when mommy isn't?" She asked her father who was not lying next to her.
"You are a strong person, you are my daughter, after all. Your mother is hurting right now, and I know that this is hard for the both of you to understand, but time will help, I promise."
Octavia's expressionless face quickly crumbled as she placed her head on her father's chest.
"Daddy, why can't I hear the beating in your chest anymore?" She sobbed.
"Because, my little princess, I am not longer living in this world."
"You are with the angels now?" She asked, sniffling.
"That's right." He sat up and stared into his little girl's eyes, "Octavia, it is time for me to leave now. Be strong and be the very best that you can be." He got up and stood at the side of her bed, "Octavia, I love you, always and forever. Please don't ever forget that."
She jumped from her bed and stared up at her father, "Please don't go! Don't leave us!" Her tears dropped from her chin, puddling onto the hardwood floor. "Please, daddy!"
"No tears, my little princess. I will see you again and I will always be with you. In your heart, memories and dreams." He touched her cheek, wiping at a tear.
"I love you, daddy." Her small voice broke.
He smiled and slowly disappeared from her sight; Octavia took one ragged breath and nodded to herself. The small girl went to her mother's side and cleared her throat in attempt to make her voice sound stronger, "Mommy, don't cry anymore. Daddy will never really leave us."
Octavia slid onto the seat next to her mother and stared at the open photo album where she saw a picture of her father dressed in combat gear as he wore a smile on his face, it was the last picture they had received of him before he was taken from them.
"Daddy." Octavia said aloud, looking up, she knew that her father was staring down at them and smiling.

I often get asked which are my favorite venues within the Winelands or the Cape Peninsula for hosting weddings. And I always feel that it's not a fair question because Cape Town and surrounds, and in fact the whole of South Africa, boasts so many amazingly functional and visually appealing locations.
So, for this blog I took the liberty of identifying some of my favourite venues within a 20 km radius of our offices in Somerset-West. There are other exceptional locations that I love working at so journey with us as I list more venues here that are very dear to my heart.
1. Clouds Estate, Stellenbosch
Treat yourself to true luxury and the best that nature has to offer. Situated on one of the world's most beautiful mountain passes, Clouds Wine and Guest Estate is a small boutique hotel at the peak of the Helshoogte Pass. This private estate is a working farm that produces its own wines. It also offers premium accommodation that blends designer luxury with all the mod cons. A stylish destination surrounded by incredible views, a stay at Clouds Hotel & Villas is truly memorable. Their team will enhance the awe-inspiring setting and world-class facilities with exceptional service and attention to detail.
2. The Conservatory, Franschhoek
Nestled on the banks of the Kastaiing River, The Conservatory is set among vineyards and ancient oaks, presenting an absolute hidden gem for your special day. Their facilities are set on spacious grounds and surrounded by the majestic backdrop of the Franschhoek Mountains, providing a private and tranquil setting that is ideal for photographs and making wonderful memories. It truly feels as if you are celebrating within a greenhouse in the perfect countryside setting. The interior and the garden exterior marries in perfect union.
3. Grande Provence, Franschhoek
Set on 47 vine-covered acres, Grand Provence is in the heartland of the wine country and offers both authenticity and grandeur to the bride and groom. The venue offers an extraordinary setting for your special day, with endless photographic opportunities, whether outdoors in the beautifully manicured garden or indoors in the superbly decorated private room of The Jonkershuis.
The estate also scores top marks for their accommodation. I will make the Owner's Cottage my own residence in a heartbeat and they would need an army to get me out of the main bedroom!
4. La Residence, Franschhoek
When I drove through the gates of the estate for the very first time – we are talking ten years ago – I was stunned by the daring colour of the exterior. Within minutes of stepping inside, admiring the interior, architecture and clever design, it all made sense and spoke to my soul.
The 30 acre estate is the perfect place to unwind. With swimming pools, a spa, restaurant, vineyards and endless private spaces in which to curl up with a good book. My favourite space at this 5-star estate is the Elton John suite.
Great food and fine wines are the order of the day at La Residence but the natural beauty of the surroundings lends itself to numerous diverse experiences from hiking and cycling to visiting art galleries, festivals and motor museums.
5. Laurent at Lourensford, Somerset-West
This elite venue is situated on one of the most historic agricultural farms in South Africa. Lourensford Wine Estate is rich in history and heritage. Laurent offers a backdrop of mountains, vineyards and orchards with the sleek veranda overlooking the polo field. Our team brings this venue, with its offer of the finest food and wines, full circle working alongside local and international wedding coordinators – with our clients' ideas adding the final magic ingredient.
6. MolenVliet Oosthuizen Family Vineyards, Stellenbosch
MolenVliet Oosthuizen Family Vineyards is a boutique wine and guest estate situated in the Banhoek Valley in Stellenbosch with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards.
The luxury accommodation comprises a 5-star offering that captures the magnificent views of the vineyards, mountains, river and the well-established gardens. I love these gardens in particular as it is so well manicured, yet, makes you feel as if you are surrounded and engulfed by the Knysna Forest. There are a multitude of locations to choose from and so much freedom within their offering and their approach. It is a true pleasure for The Aleit Group to work here.

Tom Palmer is busy touring Meath libraries this week-the final week of Children's Book Festival 2011.
Tom made it over to us from the U.K. despite the dreadful weather.
He talked about his two series of books-Foul Play and Football Academy. He also spoke about his new book Scrum!
He entertained children in Navan and Ashbourne libraries this morning with his Football Reading Game. Children had to answer football-related questions from today's papers and from magazines and books. The kids who answered correctly went into a penalty shoot-out contest to win the Football Reading Trophy.
He answered lots of interesting quesions from the children and signed autographs and books.
All the schools were supplied with an advance pack of materials, activities, sample chapters and posters and a selection of his books.
Here are some photos from Ashbourne Library

The annual Children's book festival by Meath County Council Library Service kicks off this Monday (October 3rd). All through October school children will visit Meath Libraries to see authors, illustrators, storytellers, and take part in drama and poetry workshops throughout the county.
The festival will be launched this week by Author/Illustrator Oisín McGann in Ashbourne and Navan Libraries where Oisín will host comic book workshops for the children.

My passion is to help people to be in touch with their true self so that we can live our life fully, happily and joyously.
In my therapy session, I use various tools for healings. In order to identify people's challenges in their life, firstly I assess each energy field by checking meridians and chakras including each energy fields such as physical body, emotional body, mental body and spiritual body.
Once the core issue is found in these energy fields, the client and I will∂ work together to release any old beliefs, blockages then transformation process begins. Healing only occurs within, so my job is to facilitate and navigate people to find a balance in themselves and promote wellbeing.
It is such an honor to be involved in each person's soul journey and witness that person's soul to shine.
My learning about the truth in connection between body, mind and spirit is still ongoing.
I feel strong gratitude towards each client and my involvement in their life and every case has been such an inspiration for me.
My goal is to cultivate living in this very moment and accepting who we truly are to young children, so that they can deal with some challenges along the way peacefully and joyously.

WATCH: Bird removes snake's gut
Gabriela Benavides, a wildlife vet, went to the Kruger National Park in early August and after an awesome sighting with 2 honey badgers, they were getting ready to head back when they decided to drive one more loop.
"As we turned, my husband spotted a snake in a mud hole, which was quite unusual for winter time. A bird flew away as soon as we stopped and while we were trying to figure out what type of snake was it, the bird, a grey-headed bush-shrike, started tugging at something that also pulled the snake. Soon we realized they were the intestines of the snake - a Rufous Beaked Snake. At a closer look, it didn't have eyes anymore and there was blood on its face. The bird kept pulling and pecking on the snake, and the snake kept opening its mouth as a threat, but couldn't do much else to defend itself in its weak state."
"At first, we got excited, but as we figured out what was going on, it became gruesome and sad. It was obvious the bird was winning so we just hoped it ended quickly for the snake. We knew it was nature but took all our strength to stay on and be witnesses of how cruel sometimes the circle of life is."The bird got a chunk out of the hole where the intestines were sticking out and flew away with it. The snake didn't move after that, the head was in a hole in the mud, so we couldn't see any movement of the tongue and we assumed it was dead. It took another 20 minutes for the fight to be over."
"I have never seen a bird so small kill a snake for what looked like a meal. In fact, I never even thought a snake would on its menu. We first thought it was defending its nest, but in the end, the bird took a big piece of some internal organ of the snake, which ultimately killed it. It was a once in a lifetime sighting."
"Never underestimate a sighting that is not as glamorous as the big 5, because you might end up being a witness of a unique experience that takes you through so many emotions at once, from excitement, doubt, horror, sadness and even empathy for a snake which most of the times we fear. Every minute spent in the Kruger is worth it, as one never knows what might be around the next corner."

T-Mobile was more than pleasantly surprised when it discovered that in almost all of its 3,000 stores across the nation, people were lining up in order to purchase an iPhone. It was the only major carrier to not sell the iPhone. Even prepaid carriers like Virgin Mobile USA and Cricket got their hands on the iPhone before T-Mobile could. T-Mobile tried to play things off by saying it didn't need an iPhone because it had a large selection of Android devices that were even better than the iPhone, but yesterday's turnout proved otherwise.
Some stores were extremely busy and required stanchions, while other stores saw the commotion die down later on in the day. Many T-Mobile customers were relieved that they would finally be able to use an iPhone on their carrier. And while the customers would have to pay a lot more for their iPhone compared to other carriers, that didn't deter them because in the end, the cost of the iPhone combined with T-Mobile's low rates would ending up saving them a lot more in the long run.
Customers were able to get the 16GB T-Mobile iPhone 5 for a $99 down payment, and $20 monthly payments for 24 months. If they wanted an iPhone 4S instead, they would have to pay a $69.99 down payment, and $20 a month for 24 months. And finally, if they just wanted an iPhone 4, they would only have to make an $18 down payment, and pay $18 a month for 24 months. While the iPhone 4 and 4S is only available in one storage size, if customers wanted an iPhone 5 with more space, they would be able to purchase a 32GB version with a $199 down payment, or a 64GB with a $299 down payment (monthly payments stay the same).
T-Mobile also announced a trade-in program, where customers can trade in their old iPhones to reduce the payments of their new iPhone 5. While we're not sure how many people took advantage of the trade-in program, we do know that T-Mobile has seen some phenomenal results from the launch of its iPhones. T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Mike Sievert told AllThingsD, "Clearly they want the iPhone 5, and they are voting with their feet that they want it from T-Mobile." Be sure to check out our review on the iPhone 5 to see if its the device you should switch to.

Dating – Wow! I remember as a young girl being so excited about one day being able to date. My parents were wise in teaching me about not only who to date, but what kind of friends to choose.
Principles applied to dating begins with knowing what a good friend looks like. Those principles should be taught when our kids are young.
1. Encourage your son or daughter to hang out with groups of friends; they don't want to isolate themselves. It's more fun in a group with no pressure and so much more enriching.
2. While they are young, encourage your children to pick great friends. When they begin dating it will be a much easier transition to showing them who to date. Church youth groups are a fantastic place to meet friends. I'm not so naïve to believe every student in your son's youth group is totally focused on God, but it's a good starting place to finding friends of either gender.
3. Encourage your children to hang out with friends who don't demand their way or hurt them in any way.
4. Establish the fact that your daughter was created by God and has much worth. She should never allow anyone to misuse her. That goes for guys also. Abuse is a serious problem among our teens. Your teen needs to know she/he is special to you and to God. No one should be allowed to abuse them in any way. Teach them to choose wisely who they will allow to be part of their life.
5. Teach your sons how to treat a lady . . . a lost art. Teach them to protect a girl beginning with mom and their sisters. Dad needs to be the example of a loving husband who cares for his wife and his daughters and treats them well.
There is so much to do to prepare your teen for dating. Take it seriously and begin young.

On Sunday, October 18 esteemed experimental improv duo White Out will be joining forces with legendary guitarist Nels Cline for a very special performance at LPR! The show will celebrate the release of Accidental Sky, White Out and Cline's exciting new release on Northern Spy Records. We caught up with White Out's Lin Culbertson and Tom Surgal to ask them a few questions about collaborating with Cline, making Accidental Sky and much more. Check out the interview below.
[For more great stuff from White Out and Nels Cline, check out their recent contribution to Dusted Magazine's Listed series—Lin, Tom and Nels each pick their ten favorite records!]
LPR: How did you first meet Nels? When did you first perform with him?
White Out: We first met Nels when Tom and Thurston (Moore) played in a Monday night series that Nels curated at the now defunct Alligator Lounge in West LA. We first started playing with Nels about 15 years ago at Spaceland (now Satellite) in Silver Lake, CA.
Your concert on the 10/18 is the release show for Accidental Sky. Can you tell us a little bit about the record and how it came together? Were did you record it?
This album is of great import to us as it is the first released document of the three of us playing together. In many ways it represents the culmination of many years worth of collaboration. This unit has cultivated a highly personal musical language together and we managed to faithfully capture that special chemistry on record. The recording session took place in our home, utilizing a mobile recording unit deftly operated by sound engineer extraordinaire Mark Maloof. The vibe was very relaxed and intimate and everything was recorded live to tape in one day.
How did you come up with the album title?
We have an old TV that Tom found in the garbage and it is sometimes difficult to discern written titles when it's in the program guide mode. As a consequence we misread the title for the Jackie Chan action vehicle Accidental Spy as Accidental Sky. It seemed like an apt title for a new White Out album, and Lin had an image that appeared to be the perfect visual complement.
How did you hook up with Mountains, who are opening your release show?
Mountains is one of our favorite bands currently performing. We are very pleased that they will be joining us on the bill.
How has White Out evolved since you started back in 1995?
We all like to think that we evolve over the course of time, but in some ways we were fully formed the first time we ever played together. There seemed to be an immediate rapport that has only improved over time. We have also expanded our sound by consistently playing with a select group of heavyweight collaborators including: Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, William Winant, Zeena Parkins, and of course Nels.
Tom, can you tell us a little bit about your record collection and the documentary that you are working on, Fire Music: A History of the Free Jazz Revolution? How and when did you first start collecting, and what made you decide to pursue the film?
I first starting buying Jazz and Free Jazz albums when I was 13 years old, after hearing a particularly impassioned interview with Rahsaan Roland Kirk on the radio. I fell in love with the Free Jazz oeuvre and consider it to be one of the most volatile and important cultural movements of the Twentieth Century. I decided to make a documentary about the music that has historically been such a vital part of my life, because it has gone virtually undocumented up until this point in time. I wanted to chronicle the legendary architects of the movement while they were still with us. (Six of my interview subjects have died since shooting commenced.)
Lin, we really dig the poster you designed for the show. Can you tell us a little bit about your creative process and influences when it comes to design and visual art?
For this poster I just reworked the image used for the album artwork and subjected it to a few rounds of Photoshop magic. I do a lot of my work in Photoshop and Lightroom and really consider myself to be more passionate about photography than design. For that reason I would cite photographers more than designers as my primary stylistic influences. Visionaries like Robert Frank, Jeff Wall, Francesca Woodman, Man Ray, Roy DeCarava, Sally Mann, Ana Mendieta…
You posted some "White Out Art Selfies" on the White Out Facebook page earlier this year. What inspired that? Any other art you've been into lately?
We go to a lot of art shows and we just got in the habit of snapping some pictures of ourselves in the course of our many excursions to the museums and galleries, for no particular reason. The art makes for really vibrant backgrounds. Facebook kept bugging us to post for our audience, so we just threw them up. We have seen so many really great shows of late: Sigmar Polke, Isa Genzken, Anish Kapoor, Michael Heizer, Robert Heinecken, Tehching Hsieh, Jeff Wall, Lee Ufan, Glen Ligon, Dan Graham, and Charles Burchfield, among many others. We get inspired by the ritual viewing of art, which we find to be creatively restorative.
Don't miss White Out & Nels Cline at LPR on 10/18 with Mountains!

The setCameraDir API function of the TConnect 3D Viewer does not always work. In following case it is not setting the camera direction as given in the parameters.
viewer.setCameraDir([0.6, -0.5, -0.5]);
The result of this is:
{0: -0.6469966173171997, 1: 0.5391638875007629, 2: -0.5391638875007629}
And not {0: 0.6, 1: -0.5, 2: -0.5} as expected.
Why is that? Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?
Also I can't find a way to set the camera upvector. I would expect a setCameraUpVect function just like there's a getCameraUpVect, but there's none. How can I set the camera upvector?

The internationally recognized Fox School accounting faculty are actively engaged in research covering a broad spectrum of topics relevant to the private sector, government, and to not-for-profit institutions. The Department ranks in the Top 20 in "research "productivity (Coyne et al. 2010). Its PhD program ranks 20 overall in accounting doctoral programs for recent graduates, rated high in specific areas and methods including Auditing (1), Archival (14), Managerial (26), and Financial (33) (Stephens, et al. 2011).
The faculty aims to create and expand knowledge and understanding of accounting in theory and practice in these core areas. Through scholarship, teaching, and outreach, faculty seeks to communicate this to our students, to the profession, and to continuously be recognized as a top research program nationally and internationally.
Accounting plays a vital role in the development and growth of businesses and other entities in society. Accurate, reliable and transparent disclosures and financial information are critical for owners, managers, providers of capital and other parties to make informed decisions about how to use and allocate resources. Accountants and auditors support and help ensure that capital markets are functioning properly. As capital markets have grown internationally and continue to become more globally integrated, the role of accounting and implications of our research crosses boundaries and borders.
Themes – The Global Impact Of Fox School Research
Research is a top priority at the Fox School. Faculty and students across departments regularly make unique contributions that impact the academic world and the global business community, as well as society as a whole. Learn more about the important work done at Fox by exploring the following research themes.
Focusing on approaches to, and consequences of, measuring managerial activity and implications for firm valuation.
Addressing the implications of the separation of ownership from control for monitoring; research in this area includes understanding compensation structures, the role of internal and external auditors, and risk assessment.
Investigating the role of incentives of managers, auditors and the corporate board in determining the transparency and quality of financial reporting; this area also includes how the firm communicates to investors, potential investors, creditors, employees, and other stakeholders.
Focusing on the role of regulation (e.g., SEC) in financial reporting, the shift in the public accounting profession from self-regulation to independent regulation (and the PCAOB), and recent regulatory changes in corporate governance brought about by the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank Acts and financial accounting standards setting (FASB, IASB).
Examining the relevance and reliability of information that is useful to decision makers and using economic and psychological theories to understand the role of information by managers in organizations, participants in labor markets and investors in capital markets.

Pharr unveiled its new $1.5 million toll collection system Tuesday after months of pushing the new process to the trade community.
Local, state and federal officials were on-hand to witness the system's launch. License plate readers, laser scanners and account notifications similar to bank account alerts are being implemented at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge.
Companies that send trucks across the bridge will be better able to track their vehicles and accounts they have set up with the bridge, and other entities through their trucks pass, such as toll roads in South Texas.
"As a city, we understand how important it is to continually provide our customers with the best opportunities to be successful, in order for Pharr to remain competitive as an international port of entry," said Pharr Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez. "By implementing the latest technology, we are working to help our customers streamline their operations and more easily and effectively manage their businesses."
Many trucks that cross the bridge continue on to the Port of Brownsville, where goods are then shipped via barge or ship. Between the port and Pharr are toll roads in Cameron County, which is why county officials and Pharr commissioners signed an interlocal agreement last June to enhance the toll collection on State Highway 550, the 10-mile stretch from Interstate 69 to the port's entrance.
The city expects to accrue about $33,000 annually by collecting tolls from trucks that cross its bridge and subsequently continue on to the port using SH 550, according to Pharr Bridge Director Luis Bazan last June.
The new revenue stream will boost the Pharr bridge's already-robust $12 million yearly intake. Pharr has the only full-service commercial land port of entry in the area, which is a financial boon for the city but can also harm the trade industry, as wait times for trucks often back up for hours.
Up until now, companies using the bridge have been able to sign into a Pharr-specific website where they could only view the barebones of their account. Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority officials presented the new system to a room of trade community employees this summer in South Pharr.
"They can pull their statement, and even that takes a full 24 hours for them to even view it," said Jesus Adrian Rincones, chief financial officer for the CCRMA.
The bridge toll payments, which companies currently route to Pharr through PayPal, is not efficient, Pharr officials said. This new system will allow customers to monitor their accounts in real time, they won't have to pay an extra fee to PayPal and the system will alert customers of their account balance like a banking notification email.
