Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
 
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
 
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
 
You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
 
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
 
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
 
[Chorus x2]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
 
Jesus, I’ll worship Your holy name
Lord, I’ll worship Your holy name
 
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I’ll worship Your holy name
I’ll worship Your holy name

Unity and Harmony; Day672

But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near.  For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us,  Ephesians 2:13-14

Milestone: Swim-Bike: 2011-2012

To TripleB,
It’s been Day669 since stent #2 and I’m still waiting for the DDay.  I guess there is no really celebration of each day passing.  It can happen again or not.  What is exciting about this journey of being a cardiac patient is the more I spend time on the road and at the pool, the more risk I’m taking and the more fun it gets – facing the uncertainty.  I have not seen my cardiologist for over a year now and I have no idea if my body is in perfect condition.  My only measurement data that I considered myself fit is I can go on long rides with not much effort.  At the pool, I normally starts out with a sub-surface swim of 25 yards  with one breath.  I think I am fit enough to live another day.

Vigilant +Calm Mind; Day669; Special Day

Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.  1Peter 5:8

Sharepoint 2010 Access Denied +SP on Hyper-V

A. Access Denied

PROBLEM: Sharepoint 2010 Access Denied
FIX: Delete Domain Account and then recreate.

I’ve recently migrated a Sharepoint Server 2010 from a Dell Poweredge 2850 to Hyper-V.  Everything works fine except one subsite keeps getting “Access Denied”.  I’ve read a lot of documentation and blogs but none of them provided the solution to the problem.

I’ve narrowed down the issue to a specific user and I can repeat the problem over and over.

After several trial and error and no fix in sight, I tried deleting the account in the Active directory and then recreate it and the account started working. 

 

B. Sharepoint 2010 Migration from Physical to Virtual [Hyper-V] [view P2V Toolkit]
I’ve been testing Sharepoint 2010 for over a year now using a Dell Poweredge 2850 2U Rack Server.  I have a 24U rack in my home office that I utilized for testing and recently, the demand to quite down the office area and reduce the amount of heat generated has become my primary objective lately.  This week I finally able to do it without issues [except the access denied mentioned above]

Benefits:
1. One Server running
2. Less Noise
3. Less Heat
4. Backup/Restore of .vhd is simpler
5. I can use the PE2850 for other tests.

Day04 [End up Buying GT-P3113]

I was on my Day04 of using the GT-Nxxxx and I end up getting the Galaxy Tab 2 7”.  [MSRP-$249.99].  I was a looking a for a special gift for my wife and I don’t want to spend too much. A few months ago, I bought her a nice Dell Latitude 12” with SSD but all she really used it for was just web and email.  By having this tablet at her bedside and work, I think this item will get more mileage.  Let’s see what happens in the next few months.  The goal is to cater all her computing needs in the tablet.  Will see.

Perfect Peace; Day668

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. Isaiah 26:3
