                Spectacular front cover picture (and articles) in the NoCOUG 
Journal
        
        
                
                        Dear NoCOUG members and friends,
                
                        

                        The front cover of the November issue of the NoCOUG 
Journal features a spectacular picture of a Bigleaf Maple in blue and purple 
fall colors taken by NoCOUG member Dave Abercrombie. Who knew that fall colors 
could be blue and purple? Dave swears that he did not Photoshop this picture.

                        

                        But the inside of the Journal is just as spectacular as 
the outside. A very special treat for you is a reprint of the first chapter 
(Overview and Architecture) of Mark Rittman?s best-selling book on Oracle 
Business Intelligence published by McGraw Hill. Mark started writing the book 
in 2006 so it?s only taken him seven years to finish it. But it?s been well 
worth the wait as you?ll definitely agree after this excerpt.

                        

                        Another very special treat for you is the results of 
the Third International NoCOUG SQL Challenge. Master sorcerer Lukasz Pluta 
(Poland) will wow you with a wonderful Es-Cue-El spell to help the Wicked Witch 
of the West decide whom to invite to the Third Annual Witching and Wizarding 
Ball at Pythian Academy of Es-Cue-El and No-Es-Cue-El. Lukasz Pluta becomes the 
fifth knight of the August Order of the Wooden Pretzel, following in the 
footsteps of previous challenge winners Alberto Dell?Era (Italy), Andre Araujo 
(Australia), Rob van Wijk (Netherlands), and Ilya Chuhnakov (Russia).

                        

                        But I?m keeping you from reading the November issue.
