I know that's a nice gesture but I've really grown to hate politicians. All of them.
Posted 27 March 2014 - 04:27 PM
I love Spurrier.
Posted 27 March 2014 - 05:19 PM
We used to say, 'We'll wait until next year.' Now we say, 'We'll wait until Spurrier retires,' " -- Clemson grad Sen. Harvey Peeler.
He's still wrong but I can appreciate the sentiment.

OVERTON, Nev. (AP) - Authorities say a Las Vegas tour guide who was trying to get back into a rolling SUV died in Valley of Fire State Park northeast of Las Vegas.
Rescuers say they were called to the park about 11:30 a.m. Thursday and pronounced the 72-year-old woman dead at the scene.
Investigators say the woman had parked a 2007 Ford Expedition in a dirt parking lot in the Lone Rock area when it started to roll forward. Witnesses say she ran to the driver's side and tried to get back in, but the left side of the vehicle hit a large rock formation and she was pinned between that and the SUV.
Police described the situation to KSNV-TV as a sad day for her family and the tourists who were with her.

My deeply Christian housemate got it a few weeks ago, she said she couldn't move, but didn't SEE anything, but HEARD something. It apparently said her name, and was banging the sides of the wooden bed frame. She thought it was me, as it was a frightened young female voice, so as soon as she could move, she texted me from her room (she was too scared to literally walk the 5 yards) and asked if I was ok, and could I come and sit with her. She was near tears, and thought she had been posessed. She had never heard of sleep paralysis, and being deeply Christian, automatically associated the phenomenon with her faith.

But is "banging the...bed"
associated with SP? (Hearing one's name called while alone is so common as to
not require discussion.)
It seems more akin to the "shaking bed" sort of thing, which Christians commonly associate with the demonic.
[However, the one time
Christian experienced the "shaking bed" phenomena, 35 years ago, it was pretty clearly a transient inner ear disturbance, since the room continued to shake even after I leaped out of bed.]

Post subject: My daughter and....
I have had sleep paralysis but is usually when times are very stressful, however, was totally unaware the 'old hag' and sleep paralysis were related? Both her and I have seen in nightmares (myself, as a child when fully awake) an old old hag like woman with long white scraggly hair - I just assumed this was a separate common sighting.

While Sleep Paralysis is a perfectly natural phenomenon there is evidence that it can act as a trigger for paranormal episodes.
And while all sorts of visions have been reported in connection with SP, I've collected more than 30
, the "old old hag like woman with long white scraggly hair" is far and away the largest

Wasn't going to mention this, but I think it counts. A few nights ago I had my first SP experience, but it wasn't full on. I was half awake and feeling great pressure on my upper body as I tried to wake properly, because the British actor Tamer Hassan was sitting on my chest.
It only lasted less than a minute before I was able to shake off the feeling and confirm that Mr Hassan was nowhere in the vicinity. I hope it doesn't happen again, or get worse.

Strangely, I get the same kind of thing, but I think Abi Titmus is sitting on my face, and try as I might, I can't move my tongue. The pressure in the lower half of my body is almost intolerable and needs swift relief once I have broken the spell and can move again.
These instances of sleep paralysis, along with hypnopompic and hynogogic experiences, old hag and all, are so mundane to me as to be boring. They really belong on a medical message board, along with tales of people who eat rotten food and then are "mysteriously" sick.
Nothing mysterious, supernatural, mystical, paranormal about them, just simple workings of the human machine. (Which is not to say that the human machine isn't a mysterious, fantastic device, of course, but it's within that lie all the answers, pure medical science)
The reason I'm so unimpressed by any of this is because of my lifelong struggle with Narcolepsy, these experiences are EVERYDAY occurences for me. Once upon a time they scared the crap out of me, not so much now. The old hag that sits on my chest clears off when I "tell" her I'm going to bone her chocolate starfish, dry. Seriously. She obviously doesn't fancy that much, yet when I used to struggle to gasp a word, prayer, move just an inch, she'd sit there loving it, gloating. Instead of fighting my mind and body, I go with it, and then I can get back to as much of a normal sleep as I get at night.
Lying there when I have a N-attack (or a C-attack, Cataplexy), day or night, I hear all sorts of things, things I can't possibly be hearing, and before and after see the same, but I don't let it bother me, the trick is not to fight at all, and it will be over sooner. My body is not quite right (some say my mind too!!), and I have to live with it, people experiencing these episodes should just accept their little taste of life of a N&C sufferer.
OTR suggests these episodes can be a trigger for paranormal episodes, and this may or may not be so. I can only say from my own personal experience, that nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened around me at such times, even when I was more open to the idea that there was more to it all than chemical reactions in my brain.
Um, except the times that.......nah, you're all probably asleep now anyway. Maybe another time!

I had my first experience of SP yesterday morning. I had fallen asleep on the lounge whilst holding my sleeping baby. I remember my 17 year old step daughter coming over and sticking her finger in my mouth. I tried to open my mouth and I couldn't. I then tried to move my tongue and open my eyes. I couldn't do either of these either. All I could feel was this strong pressure on the back of my neck. I'm not sure how I woke myself up but I soon found myself properly awake and moving again. As soon as I had woken up I asked my 5 year old whether anyone had walked over to me and stuck their finger in my mouth. He replied that nobody had done this. I must say that the effect of being paralysed is most unsettling. I certainly hope it never occurs again.

For some reason when I first posted this, I didn`t notice that there was a topic dedicated to sleep paralysis - so I have a feeling my experience was completely buried in the other thread...
So I will repost here, if only to make it easier for anyone interested to read a first person account. I originally posted it in November, I believe;
I had my first run in with sleep paralysis yesterday, and I have to say it was fascinating.
I laid down for a short nap before having to pick my son up from preschool. As I only had about 2 and a half hours until I needed to pick him up, I could easily imagine sleeping more deeply than intended and not hearing the alarm clock... So I went to sleep in a sort of careful state, trying to be especially aware of noises so that I would wake up on time. This almost always works for me. I can sleep through my alarm with no problems at all if I don`t need to be up, but if I make sure I leave the "Need to be up!" flag in my mind, I wake up easily on the very first sound it makes.
I fell asleep, and something woke me up. (I`m guessing a car sound from outside) I started to wake up, but realized it wasn`t my alarm, so opted to go back to sleep. Then I felt it. Something large and heavy sort of came down on top of me. I could feel it pressing down harder and harder, holding me down. For the first few seconds, I found it frightening.... And then I realized - This is sleep paralysis! The fear disappeared, and I noticed several things. The weight had no specific points. It was even, like a huge lead blanket had been slowly put down on to my body. It was also only on top of me. If something were actually pressing down on me, I would feel pressure from below also, as I would be feeling resistance from the bed. There was none of that, and I was actually quite comfortable. I also wasn`t having any of the breathing difficulties that I would imagine having if something really were on top of me. Maybe this is because I was on my side? Or maybe it was because I wasn`t feeling any fear...
I tried moving, and managed to open my eyes and look up. I was hoping to catch a dreamy glimpse of the dark forms people often report seeing - but nothing was there... And it seemed that the movement broke the spell, and I was able to move. Went quickly back to sleep - and it happened again. I tried to move my arm, but either wasn`t able to or the movement was so feeble that it didn`t make much difference. But it was enough to snap me out of it.
When I went back to sleep again, it happened almost immediately, and I was able to open my eyes and look around a bit at my blurry but normal room. I tried to roll over, but couldn`t, and decided that despite the strange sensation of weight it really wasn`t all that uncomfortable, so didn`t try to snap myself out of it, relaxed, and slept peacefully until the alarm went off.
I wasn`t all that scared - the second I realized what it was, it was more of an experiment to me. But I could easily see how people could be scared out of their wits. I found it quite cool in it`s own way!

Post subject: Sleep Paralysis... night terrors and stress
I experienced very violent sleep paralysis on a recurring basis in my late teens / early twenties. It would always commence as I was drifting off with a strange sensation in my head that I would describe like ones brain being put on a spin cycle. After that came the typical immobilisation and feeling of being supressed by some unseen, but very dark and powerful force. My experience would then take a very violent turn, and I would be 'physically' (in my dream state) thrown about the room or wherever I was sleeping and my surroundings being trashed. Thankfully, it is many years now since these occured. At the time, my mother was in a very unfortunate relationship with a violent alcoholic, and I attribute these night terrors to the stress that that brought about. They are bloody terrifying, and I would not wish them on anyone. Has anyone else experienced the weird 'flooding of the brain' feeling prior to it? I always knew what was coming next when this occurred. Admittedly, back then I smoked a lot of dope and was experimenting with LSD, mushrooms and such, and would gladly accept that these symptoms may be to do with that. The actual terror/paralysis however, I have no doubt was due to waking stresses and fears.

I've suffered Night Terrors all my life. I awake with a feeling of intense evil, I can't move or scream. I feel an immense weight pressing me down into the bed. Then a buzz, incredibly loud and seeming to emminate from all directions, fills the room. Then the bed feels as though it is floating and begins to vibrate wildly.
A few years ago it began to happen again. That night I was very, very tired and as it started I remember shouting with my mind "I CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH THIS TONIGHT! F*CK OFF!!!" It immediately stopped and hasn't happened since!

I have experienced this phenomenon once -and I'm glad only once!
I was about 21/22 and living in a shared flat. I woke up one night to sound of people out the back. I sat up in bed and looked out the window behind me -sure enough I saw a group of young people dressed in evening wear milling around the back green -like they had come from a student grad ball perhaps.
Thinking no more of it, I lay back down again -I then realised I couldn't move a muscle. I didn't feel any presence in the room, just this dead weight on me, making the slightest attempt at movement an impossibility. I struggled and eventually broke the 'spell'.
Justifiably freaked out, I reached over to switch on my bedside light -it wouldn't work. I got out of bed and crossed the room (standing/stumbling on a shoe on the way) to switch on the main light from the door -again, no power. Feeling increasingly alarmed, i then walked through the rest of the house, frantically trying to get some light to work somewhere! And then....I woke up.
Completely freaked out, I then had to switch on my bedside light to make sure I was actually awake. By this point I wasn't sure of anything anymore. Thankfully the light worked. I looked out the window and of course there were no people -there was no room for people in the tiny and very overgrown back green associated with the tenement.
I remember this experience very clearly as i was so weirded out by not knowing what was real and what wasn't. I understand now it was sleep paralysis combined with an incredibly vivid and
dream, but it didn't make it any less scary at the time!

A Description of a Mundane Sleep Paralysis Experience
It happened that I worked evenings, and so putting this to my advantage I took to rising at a reasonable hour of the morning and then retreating to the bed with toast, a mug hot tea and good book. This way some pleasant time could be spent and on that morning I found myself sat up reading The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Not so long after the completion of my breakfast that was tainted only by my stomachs churning due to a weekend of excess, I became drowsy, as I often did, and abandoned my reading when the words on the page began to wander with my sleepiness.
Laying down I drifted in and out of consciousness and I was possessed of that extreme form of drowsiness that felt as if I had been drugged by some powerful narcotic. I don't know for how long I had succumbed to sleep before a tugging of my consciousness impressed itself upon me with such urgency that I found myself awakening in a panic, a state vigorously exasperated by the fact that I was completely unable to move.
It is sure evidence of the impairment of my faculties at that time, that I put my paralysis down to the bed sheets having being tucked in very tightly.To my defense, I had slept in beds like that, but only in hotels. Yet these sheets became so tight that they crushed my chest as I lay there prone, quickening my sense of panic. My eyes wandered and I could see that the bedroom door was fully open behind me and to the right, everything was normal and in its place, only I was being crushed.
It was like force of will, the thing that broke the spell. Some internal conflict had been fought and at the moment the opponent had been overthrown, or mentally forced into submission, the power of movement flooded back into my body. At this moment I felt some hence unrecognized, missing aspect of my consciousness slide into place. The world changed subtly and I truly awoke. The bedroom door was ajar and the duvet was crumpled around me.
What to make of such things? My feelings were of relief and yet there was a strangeness that I struggle to throw off. The mind is surely full of wonders as is the universe in which it resides. I hesetate to draw conclusions from some of them.

Last night's dreams included sleep paralysis - which I get often and which I've been experiencing since I was a kid - but this time it seemed to be the result of my first lucid dream experience ever.
In my dream, I was walking up the stairs in a place with blank light-colored walls and at the top of the stairs was a crash-test-dummy-type mannequin that appeared to be damaged in the head. I suddenly realized I was dreaming and decided to wake myself up. I "awoke" into sleep paralysis and thought to myself "oh, this was a bad idea." But I started "shaking my feet" and then woke up for real. From my experience with s.p., I really think that most of it is a dream state and only part is awake, not unlike lucid dreaming.

I'm afraid I've fallen off this message board these last few years, but I just keep having stupid sleep episodes and I need to rant about it to people who know what the hell I am talking about.
Last night it was sleep paralysis. My dreams are pretty much always violent and frightening, but last night it was worse because it was followed by the most protracted episode of sleep paralysis I have ever had. I had woken up from my dream, kind of, and became aware of the sound of a dog breathing behind me. Then i felt the dog's paws pushing on my back. (I don't have dogs any more, although I did until recently) I did all the usual sleep paralysis things, trying desperately to open my eyes, trying to scream, trying to somehow wake up. Eventually I did, but I retained this awful panicked feeling of complete terror. I couldn't get the light on quick enough. I had to quickly put on some cheerful gogol bordello, and leave the light on, before I was comfortable enough to reconsider sleep. Arg.
On a related note, my instances of hypnopompic hallucinations are increasing in frequency and intensity. It's usually a spider. I wake up, stare at the ceiling for a while, and notice that there is a huge spider crawling across it. I start to become vaguely worried, but then after a few seconds it fades away slowly as I watch.
I seem to have the whole gamut - intense dreams that have internal cohesion that spans years, sleep paralysis, hypnopompic hallucinations, hypnogogic voices and music, false awakenings, excessive sleep talking (the other morning I woke myself up saying "I need an SBX Extender!" whatever the hell that means).
As you can imagine, sleep is rarely a refreshing experience for me, and insomnia is a frequent visitor
Apologies if this is repetitive, I haven't really been keeping up with the mb. Perhaps I should now

Oracle accused of breaking US competition law over Solaris support
Re: IBM or Redhat funding Terix to attack Oracle?
"You still want to share threads ??"
Can unused threads from one container automatically be used by another container? If not containers are missing an important aspect of virtualization.
"Trust me if what you're saying was a real problem it would have been fixed a long time ago."
One example of a real problem that has not been fixed a long time ago: Doing something with a container without a reboot. That will be fixed when Solaris 11.2 is out later this year.
Is FCoE faster than Fibre Channel? Who knows? Just run your own tests
"Why not end-to-end FCoE?"
When HDS presented its "Universal Storage" they did not mention FCoE with one word. No one in the audience asked about it either. That is the status of FCoE after 7 years of Cisco hype.
My experience is that Cisco UCS is bought for many other reasons than FCoE. One of them being that the network people, or more correctly Cisco people, has had a say in the server purchase.
HP fleshes out faster, flashier 3PAR storage gear
Re: "FC SAN is the the largest and fastest growing mid-range protocol"
"..dedicated FC SAN and specialized skills..."
FC is extremely simple compared to almost any IP network. That is partly the reason why we never see any sort of downtime in our SAN. The story is not so bright when it comes to IP where the ever growing complexity leads to a lot of human errors. Also it seems that the FC manufacturers(except Cisco) are not so eager to release shiny new functionality with a lot of bugs.
HP 3PAR kit wins X-Factor for mid-range storage arrays
I would consider HUS-VM as midrange+ also since it is a scaled down VSP.

Re: Catching up on SPARC T5
"If you want to migrate a Solaris 10 server to a Solaris 11 server, you utilize containers "
What? Are you kidding? Making a flash archive out of your Solaris 8 server and run that in a branded container on Solaris 11 is nowhere near an OS upgrade. You still run Solaris 8 but now with some trickery I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole in a production environment.
Running Solaris 10 in a container on Solaris 11 is just some half assed attempt to escape the huge task of doing a real upgrade. A task which is comparable to migrate to another HW/OS-platform. Which many do by the way.
"You have some reading to do. Or, you have just not understood what Solaris Containers are good for."
Re: Catching up on SPARC T5
The reason Oracle comes out fairly well on cost in the TPC-C is that they price their software support on Oracles largest systems at $2,300 a year. I could of course ask Oracle-employee Phil how many enterprise customers run this fantasy "support" model but I don't bother since both he, I and everyone else knows it is zero. The list price for Oracle database with a few options is close to $100,000 plus a hefty yearly percentage for support. And that is per *core*.
So any customer who knows how to operate a pocket calculator ie. not a typical Oracle customer, will find that IRL software totally dwarfs the cost for hardware by a factor of 15 to 20. So the logical conclusion is to aim for most bang for the buck on your DB licenses and that is:
Fast cores -> not sparc.
High utilization of cores - > absolutely not archaic Oracle Ldoms virt
And isn't it kind of embarrassing for Oracle that a 5 year old IBM server without the benefit of flash and SSD is on par in TPC-C with the newest and biggest Oracle server with twice the cores and 8 times the number of threads and 80 Tb of flash?. An Oracle system which is so new that it isn't even available for customers yet so no one else has the chance to do a compare.
"Why after all would IBM release Power systems that don't support AIX?"
Wow, after Oracle letting most of the Sun tech die a silent death it is good to hear that the FUD department is still expanding.
What is correct here is that for some of the Power models you have one Linux-only version which is cheaper(competes with x86) and one version which runs a choice of AIX/i /linux(competition fast fading away).
"Solaris is years ahead of AIX".
OK, you are never out in the field so I will tell you how this works. If you are at Solaris 10 and want to go to Solaris 11 you cannnot upgrade. So one has to find or buy a new server, install your new OS and application there and then you have to replicate what is years of configuration from the old production server. In the end you migrate the data and do a switch. This takes weeks, is risky and has extreme cost. You can call Solaris "the most advanced operating system in the universe"(true, Sun has stated this!) all you want but it is still amateur night.
With AIX it is a 10 minute reboot on an upgraded rootvg and a few minutes of relinking Oracle and you have upgraded your major version of AIX. That is enterprise for you.
And before you start about ZFS begin by telling us why Oracle does not use that tech in any of the aforementioned benchmarks.
Re: Catching up on SPARC T5
"And even software licensing is half the cost on SPARC vs Power"
Software is licensed per core and even the old Power7 has more than twice the performance per core of the new T5. So even if Oracle tries to level the field with a core factor(very similar to handicap in golf which gives the lesser players a chance to "win") IBM comes cheaper since software is by far the dominating cost of a system.
With faster cores being more useful for single threaded work(batch) and superior virtualization which utilizes the expensive software even more, IBM wins by a clear margin.
Power also runs AIX which is a real enterprise OS. You can't even upgrade a Solaris 10 system to Solaris 11. A complete reinstall is required. Welcome to the land of Windows.
Red Hat: We do clouds at one third the cost of VMware
Power and PowerVM is a rock solid combination. Why on earth would anyone run KVM instead?
Oracle and Dell forge worldwide server alliance
Re: Pay attention to SPARC folks..
##Nothing in RHEL5 / 6 and their OEL counterparts gives me any reason to think otherwise.
Well, Solaris and RHEL/OEL are strikingly similar in the sense that none of them supports upgrade of major versions. Solaris 10 to Solaris 11 requires reinstall so does RHEL5 to RHEL6. But i will give Solaris credit for the fact that a patch upgrade usually does not break things as is the case with RHEL.
A reinstall could take weeks considering all third party software, drivers and configuration. A real enterprise OS does upgrade of major version leaving all config and software working and takes 30 minutes One such example is AIX.

HP reels in late for LTO-6 party, yells: Tape is BA-ACK
Re: 6.25TB compressed?
If all your data is incompressible the task of calculating library size should be an easy one. If you only have 10TB of data the smallest library available should suffice and even accommodate a significant growth.
I guess the manufacturers compression ratio is based on a typical mix of data. Something between zip-files on one side and empty Oracle tablespaces on the other. Ours is 1:1.6 over 800 filled tapes. 1:2 is probably a little optimistic but not far off the mark.
Converged the HP way?
"HP has launched its LTO-6 tape products and rebranded all its tape hardware under the StoreEver name, saying the tape goodies are now an integrated part of its Converged Storage product set."
Does converged here mean that tape and other storage appear under the same name on a Powerpoint slide or is it any more to it?
Brocade drill-down: Replacement for Klayko in the wings
Shouldn't we all run FCoE now?
In 2007 I was told that bulidng an FC SAN was madness and a dead end. Now in 2012 disk system vendors don't even bother to mention or include FCoE when they present their latest Unified storage system.
What has happened with FCoE? Still just Cisco banging on about it?
Tape lives: LTO-6 rolls out – with more than TWICE the capacity
Good for me
The best thing about the introduction of LTO6 is that LTO5 prices now seem to drop to a decent level. Not long ago a LTO5 cartridge was more than two and a half times more expensive than LTO4. And much the same with the drives.
Cisco: We are NOT lagging behind Brocade
No Cisco 16 Gb FC?
So if I understand this correctly Cisco is not going to step up to 16 Gb FC but rather try to push us over on FCoE.
Brocade has 2-year Fibre Channel headstart on rival
FcoE adpotion
According to IDC FCoE adoption will be about 1% in two years time.
Unless your goal is to be a Cisco only shop there are no reasons for switching to an expensive, complex and under performing technology. A lot of people who can operate a calculator knows that.
One selects technology for a 5 year time frame, the technology that will certainly exist in 5 years time is FC.
FCoE not so sure.
Oracle previews Solaris 11, due in November
questions to the village idiot
To support more threads how come Solaris only needs a patch while AIX needs a rewrite? Care to elaborate?
AIX on Power scales to the largest Power server and always has. What is the problem? That it does not scale to a non existing machine?
If AIX scales to 1024 threads and Solaris to 512 threads how come AIX has a scaling problem and Solaris does not?
What percentage of your computer knowledge comes from actual experience?

Tape sucks, sniffs EMC
#However, rotating a tape through daily/weekyl backups will kill a tape in 10-30 jobs
I obviously have no knowledge of how you are handling your tapes but these numbers are nowhere near my or others experience nor the specifications for LTO. Frankly they seem absurd.
#$30 per tape vs $100-150 for the same capacity disk,
Since this is EMC related I challenge you to get a quote from EMC for mid-range disk(VNX) that is even in the same ballpark as this number. That is SATA in a chassis with the necessary software and support.
Your calculations also assume using a very small tape library(80 slots) where the drive/slot ratio is quite high. For large librarys slot cost is down to maybe one tenth compared to a small library and the number of tape drives needed per slot is many times lower. So your analysis does not hold for any medium to large business where tape really shines. However if you restrict your analysis to small time operations we are in agreement.
At last your tape-only scenario is nowhere near any real world setups. Most of our backup jobs touches disk even if 90% of the capacity is on tape. So those numbers of yours for concurrent backup jobs seems far fetched. I hear no one arguing that one should ONLY use tape.
Lastly I suspect that your design or your choice of backup software restricts you in using tape optimally.
Tales from the storage frontier: What's next for flash, disk and tape
Tape upgrades
"Its easier to refresh disk based storage than tape. Its not just the tape drive you need to factor in the cost of tape but also the tape library and the effort in human intervention."
We have a tape library +10 years old that has gone through 4 generations of tape technology. It is simply a matter of replacing drives and tapes and let the backup software do the rest. Robotics and library slots works across generations.
Now try to do the same with your 10 year old disk system. Does your new 2 TB SAS drive fit right in there? No, it doesnt. Most of the time a mere generation change in disk systems means a forklift upgrade.
Agree with James
A relevant example is comparing a large TS3500 holding an appropriate number of LTO4-drives with the same capacity of SATA from mid-range disk systems(HDS AMS or EMC VNX).
Based on quotes the cost/TB for tape is less than 20% of the cost of disk. That is excluding any compression, the space savings with tape and the huge savings in power/cooling.
Of course this calculation does not hold for small setups because the initial cost of tape is quite high. But as the environment grows I have seen customers stuck in a corner with their disk-only backup regretting that they did not plan for a tape solution from day one. And the way to plan for that is choosing the right type of backup software. The type which lets you in an optimal way exploit the strengths of both disk and tape.
HP to show off next gen EVA on the Vegas Strip
"2.5billion dollar acquisition to fill an arguably non-existent gap ?"
What? The gap between EVA and the OEMed HDS USP/VSP is huge. In fact I would guess most mid-range systems from other vendors would fit right in there. With room to spare.
EVA is an entry level system, with entry level reliability, entry level performance and entry level functionality. It is cheap and you get what you pay for.
Plane or train? Tape or disk?
Choose both
First I don't follow this disk is always faster thing. For large sequential files ie. your big database tape gives predictable and high performance for backup and most important, your restore. Disk with deduplication is massively over hyped. What happens with your restore performance when your large database is deduplicated into numerous little pieces scattered around a few spindles of slow running SATA?
For any large setup use both disk and tape. Tape for copies. Mix of tape and disk for your primary backup.
And most important: Choose backup software that is flexible and which can leverage the advantages of both disk and tape. Do not buy software that forces you into one storage technology. Do not listen to EMC and Symantec.

Could a hard drive dedupe data?
Dedupe should be as global as possible
For dedupe to be efficient you need lots of data and a lot more than a single hard drive can offer of capacity. A file server with a mechanism that can dedupe across tens or hundreds of drives will obtain a lot more space savings than what a single drive can do.
Hardware compression on the other hand, would be quite beneficial for a single drive. Tape drives do this with success as the performance of the drive in fact increases with the compressibility of the data.

IBM readies Exadata killer
A waste of time
For six years there has been no entries to the cluster version of the TPC-C benchmark. And for a very good reason. There is no interest in these systems at all. Anyone can combine a large number of servers and produce any result they wish. But these systems have very marginal use cases and do not provide the flexibility customers are looking for.
Exadata machines are just of no practical value. Like a wedding ring they only symbolize the current crush Ellison has for a particular hardware vendor. Exadata v1 was supposed to be the killer offspring of the Oracle/HP partnership. That lasted a full year. Luckily only a handful of customers were left with the abortion called Exadata1. I guess the market will have that in mind when Oracle now announces their next creation of hurriedly scrapped together SUN parts.
And now IBM has entered this silly contest.

Anna, miserable in her loveless marriage, does the barely thinkable and succumbs to her desires for the dashing Vronsky.

For a while back in the mid-Sixties, it seemed like every city in the United States had one: a group of four or five guys so enamored of the reworkings of American rock and R&B by the British Invasion's front line that they had to take a stab at it themselves. Honing their three-chord craft in garages, at teen dances, and in amateur contests, these groups either found their own voices somewhere in the molten, blues-baked stomp of the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and the Animals, or they simply bashed out crude covers or thinly veiled originals built on the chassis of "Louie Louie" and "You Really Got Me." An astonishing number of these bands put out singles, on their own with money borrowed from their parents or through local, sometimes national, independent labels. Some landed regional hits with their abrasive, often ramshackle waxed attempts to create their own Beatlemania, and a few actually hit the Billboard Top 100. By the late Sixties, though, even the national hits had been forgotten by the radio-fueled masses and rock and roll hipsters who were flirting with the concepts of psychedelia and the conceits of art rock.
Then in 1972 some of these one-shots and regional hits resurfaced as Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968, a double album issued by Elektra (the onetime home of the Stooges and the MC5) and emblazoned with acid-inspired cover art that implied something far more wretched than its 27 tracks delivered. Assembled by New York City rock writer and guitarist Lenny Kaye and based on an idea by Elektra's then- president Jac Holzman, Nuggets created a kind of alternative rock and roll universe, one that gave voice to the first generation of rock and roll bands influenced not by the blues and R&B icons of the Thirties through the Fifties, but by the variations by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, et al. -- that is, the first bands influenced exclusively by rock and roll. Fittingly, the music was tough, wiry, driven with barely harnessed energy that usually outweighed anything close to technical ability, to the point that it's hard to imagine anyone thinking a hit could come of chunks of music so ragged, loose, and chaotic. But in a rock and roll universe created around the talisman of the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie," anything seemed possible.
Although most of the songs it featured were hits of some kind, Nuggets wasn't so much a collection of oldies as a posthumous shout from the darkest part of rock and roll's netherworld; not every great song had found its way into the consciousness of the mainstream. Heard together -- with the savage intensity of the Chocolate Watchband's "Let's Talk About Girls" giving way to the fuzz-guitar psychedelia of the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)"; the horny raunch of the Shadows of Knight's "Oh Yeah" drooling into the Amboy Dukes' nascent heavy-metal recasting of "Baby Please Don't Go" -- these lost jewels shined as brightly as the country, blues, and gospel 78s gathered on the equally monumental Anthology of American Folk Music and were about as influential on the artists who heard them.
The original Nuggets collection didn't exactly tear up the charts; it slipped quietly out of print not long after its release, as did its 1976 reissue on Sire. Now more than twenty years later, Rhino has assembled the four-disc Nuggets, a staggering representation of the massive body of work produced by myriad garage-rockers from the Sixties. In addition to debuting the original albums on CD, the set adds 91 songs to the package, including most of the songs Lenny Kaye had slated for the never-materialized second volume in the series, as well as work from a slew of groups absent from that first lauded volume (among them the Sonics, the Litter, the Monks, and the Wailers). Though many fine songs from the era aren't included -- it would take at least ten discs to do the genre justice -- Rhino's compendium inarguably represents the quintessence of this nearly forgotten mass of nearly forgotten 45s and buried album cuts.
Kaye, of course, could not be happier. "It tells the rest of the story," says the long-time Patti Smith Group guitarist of the new box set during a phone interview from his New York City apartment. "There are larger hits here, and there are greater obscurities. There's certainly a fuller telling of the story begun on Nuggets. There are a couple of extra cuts by bands that needed more definition. I'm holding the box right now and, to me, I'm looking at a series of albums that might've happened had the original Nuggets continued."
The new collection acknowledges the battalion of groups and records that stomped into the consciousness of garage-rock fanatics thanks to a series of albums inspired by the original Nuggets. Especially the multivolume sets, most notably Pebbles, Back from the Grave, and Highs in the Mid-Sixties. The additional discs (not to be confused with the shoddy compilations Rhino issued in the mid-Eighties under the same title) flesh out Kaye's original compilation and attest to the prodigious number of great records made in the United States during the supposed takeover by the swell of English groups that supposedly salvaged the heart, soul, and fire of American rock and roll. Though even the best of the records from these groups were smeared with the influence of the Stones, the Animals, and the Kinks, many were as good as, and sometimes better than, the stuff cranked out by the bowl-cut Brits who followed in their wake.

Tom Brady in Enemy Territory ... and Injured?by Free Britney at . Comments
The New England Patriots are 18-0, and one Super Bowl victory away from what many thought to be impossible - a historic, perfect season.
But has their leader come up lame?
Photographs and video from TMZ show Tom Brady wearing what appears to be a walking cast while in New York yesterday. The Boston Herald reported that Brady - flowers in hand - was visiting his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.
Clearly wearing a cast in this photo, Tom Brady did not deny that he suffered an injury during Sunday's AFC Championship Game victory over San Diego.
"You know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady said in an interview with a Boston radio station.
"I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I would have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."
Maybe some relaxation with Gisele Bundchen will help Brady recover in time for the Patriots' Super Bowl matchup against the New York Giants February 3.
As for his adversary in that game?
Giants quarterback Eli Manning was probably spending time with his significant other (fiancee Abby McGrew). We don't have any pics, though, sadly.
I have something to tell Tom Brady: "There's always a BAD karma." And to the stupid Gisele Bundchen: "U're just like a piece of TRASH. Victoria's Secret is so damn stupid to be hiring a stupid woman like u! U don't even have boobs. U're completely anorexic, u even look like a man! I'm sure u don't even have brains. Stupid bitch!"

"Spirituality According to Paul," by Rodney Reeves, is a good book if you're interested in what Christianity probably is instead of what some people make it out to be. A couple of excerpts:
It is astonishing to me how quickly we offer our judgments about the misery of others. … Whether we admit it or not, most of us look callously upon the suffering of the masses because we think "they're getting what they deserve." God's judgment always seems to fall on others, never on us. We simply add up the equation of cause and effect, figuring that someone must have done something very wrong to get such a bad result. But this equation is where Christians are very inconsistent. We don't say that about Jesus. "He was innocent," we say. "He didn't deserve the cruelty of the cross," we insist.
Rodney Reeves, page 27
Here's another one:
American politics cannot contain Christian faith. For example, politics makes enemies; Christians love enemies. Americans are taught to preserve national and personal interests at all costs. Paul taught his converts to prefer the interests of others. American consumerism is built on the idea that we should always want more. Paul was content with more or less.
Rodney Reeves, page 31
I would add few more contradictions between our politics and our proffered faith, but this blog is about Rodney Reeve's book, not my opinions.

Roger faces Tim in final
07.10.2006 | Tennis
Roger blasted past Germany's Benjamin Becker 6-3, 6-4 to reach final in Tokyo. This means that Roger will meet 10th seed Tim Henman on Sunday.
Roger showed a supremely confident display and said that "it was pretty straightforward. The feeling's good. My dream was to be in the final." He has now improved his win-loss record for the year to 76-5.
"The last little bit is a bonus. It's a great opportunity to win maybe my first tournament in Japan." Roger only needed 36 minutes to take home the first set, the second one was even quicker after he broke again in the third game.
Becker, who ushered Andre Agassi into retirement at the US Open last month, simply had no answer to Roger's bewildering arsenal of shots.

Peaches Geldof has spoken for the first time about her father Sir Bob's excitement at the prospect of becoming a granddad – and his joy at discovering his first grandchild will be a boy.
In an exclusive interview in this week's HELLO!, the 22-year-old writer and TV presenter reveals how she broke the happy news to the 60-year-old Boomtown Rats frontman on Boxing Day – having kept her pregnancy a secret for almost five months.
She explains that she and her fiancé, musician Thomas Cohen had wanted time to "enjoy this sacred time as a couple" before sharing the news with their respective families.
And she reveals that when Sir Bob found out, he was "overwhelmed and emotional".
"Oh my God, he was so happy, especially as I'm having a boy. The poor man's been surrounded by women up till now," says Peaches.

Tony Kanaan gets going with Ganassi at Sebring
Dec 4, 2013, 1:30 PM EST
Two days ago, Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan had some fun seeing his face on the Borg-Warner Trophy for the first time. But today, he and his new teammates at Chip Ganassi Racing are putting in work.
Kanaan (pictured), reigning IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon, and American driver Charlie Kimball are testing at Sebring International Raceway this afternoon. For Kanaan, the session marks his first test with the team after leaving KV Racing Technology at the conclusion of the 2013 season.
"I'm excited, obviously," Kanaan said this morning. "It's a new challenge for me. I have a lot of things to learn today as far as the way [Chip Ganassi Racing] runs things here. I'm just enjoying it. It's a really good day for me. I can't complain."
Along with Kanaan joining their own ranks, CGR is now part of the Chevrolet camp after running with Honda engines from 2006 to 2013. Dixon said the team was looking to compare between both power plants as part of their test work.
"Today is more comparison stuff – go over some of the late development things we had streaming through for the season, and obviously, the big compare between Chevy and Honda and see where we need to work and see what areas are good," he said.
"There are a lot of new relationships, so it's good to get an early test in before Christmas and start working on relationships that we hope prosper in the new year."
Also keen on trying out the new Chevy engines and gaining a baseline for upcoming tests this winter was Kimball, who claimed his inaugural IndyCar win this past year at Mid-Ohio as part of a solid third season in the series.
"We have a lot of work for the day and it will give a direction of which way we need to head in the next few weeks before we really start preseason testing in January and February," he said.
As for working with Kanaan, Kimball noted that the two have gotten along well early on.
"We've enjoyed getting to know each other," Kimball said. "…When we get in the car, the relationship will develop more."

I'm interested in how to leverage digital and social media to build communities and advocacy for brands. It may seem as though I spend an inordinate amount of time scrolling through my Tumblr dashboard and Instagram feed, browsing my subscriptions on YouTube and pinning dream wardrobes and interiors on Pinterest, but I find it helps me stay in-the-know in an ever-changing social landscape.
You can check out what inspires me over on tumblr, hear my take on social media over on the Socialnomics blog and follow my day-to-day thoughts (with the occasional glee commentary) on twitter.
Some of my favorite moments over the past few years include meeting Lady Gaga, Lea Michele (my idol) and wonderful YouTubers like Kandee Johnson, and Michael Buckley.
Things I love: Karaoke, a good banh mi sandwich, Downton Abbey, #OITNB, Inside Amy Schumer, Jenna Marbles & Shane Dawsone YouTube videos, Jerome Jarre snapchat stories, Logan Paul vines and Nestle Aero Mint.

text: The importance of rattling your own cage by John Hayward 4 Aug 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to Go See 'The Way Way Back': I saw "The Way Way Back" and was also pleasantly surprised. It's jarring to see Steve Carrell as an outright villain, instead of the uptight well-meaning doofus he usually plays. That brilliant opening conversation (which comes to define the central conflict of the movie, as the young protagonist makes clear in a heartrending later scene) was especially effective because Carrell's heartless "I think you're a 3" evaluation was as shocking as having him pull out a gun and shoot someone. It's a clever script that never loses sight of the central premise you identified: the importance of rattling our own cages from time to time, and avoiding the kind of rut every major character is stuck in. It's an interesting contrast between the way Sam Rockwell's funny, groovy water-park owner represents both a guru of relaxation and emotional liberation to the protagonist, but is also an arrested adolescent trapped in his own inescapable life-cycle. There's humor in the way Rockwell and his employees accept their lot in life, but it's a bit sad to think of how things will be going at the Water Wizz the summer after the movie ends... and the one after that... and the one after that. To the wise adult, children can be an early warning system against self-obsession and inertia. If your child is feeling moody, isolated, and abandoned, you're doing life wrong.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves. With a mistake so many made in their youth, this band singlehandedly torpedoed themselves from ascending to the heights in metal held by only the select few like Metallica and Megadeth before them. After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More

With the music industry pretty much dead anymore, nothing really comes off as shocking.

Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time.

With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER.

Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar.

Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly. There's an expectation of severe brutality which the band delivers time and time again. Certainly, it comes with different levels of acceptance to one's ears, but ultimately the only thing that matters if it says… Read More
Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad.

Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals
Concert Tickets
There's just something about Philip Anselmo that most metal fans don't get. In fact, I would go as far as to argue that even most of those hardcore Pantera fans don't fully understand the motives and direction that Anselmo takes half the time. More than just about any other musician in metal history, Anselmo is the single guy that has taken a lot of varied metal styles to the masses. Through his notoriety as a legend with Pantera, Anselmo has been able to introduce much more extreme types of metal to the majority of metalheads that would probably have never listened otherwise. Speaking only for myself, my first exposure to such varied music as Anal Cunt, Necrophagia, Christ Inversion, Arson Anthem and Superjoint Ritual all came SOLELY because of Anselmo's involvement with those projects. It has NOTHING to do with any music at all that I heard prior to picking up those releases. To be honest, I haven't liked all of it, but I don't think that's really what it's about for Anselmo anyway. To his credit, he lives and dies metal...all kinds of metal...and he is out to create as much of it as humanly possible.
Six Feet Under
It's not at all hard to continue on the death metal journey that's known as Six Feet Under. Regardless of the band being fronted by the most significant growler this genre has ever seen, the band always delivers solid doses of high end heavy metal that, unlike most death metal, doesn't rely on hyperspeed to mask shoddy playing. To the contrary, I might call Six Feet Under the very original, true metalcore band in the sense that they brought a touch of melody to the sound and then mixed vocal brutality to that from day one. These days, damn near every single one of the new age metal bands does that, but back when Six Feet Under debuted, they were fairly unique upon themselves for doing just that. Certainly, the members of the band have changed along the way, but UNBORN simply continues the heritage Chris Barnes started with this band. In short, UNBORN is pretty much what we've all come to expect from Six Feet Under.
As a fan of both death metal and Cryptopsy, I have to question why this band, or any other death metal band for that matter, would even bother with a greatest hits release that is fleshed out with live tracks and demos. Especially a band with years on them like Cryptopsy. I wonder specifically about the demo inclusion for any band like this. Let's face it, as a fan of death metal over the last 20 years, we've all learned to accept some pretty demo sounding music in these types of band's actual releases. To say the least, so many great death metal albums had terrible sound to begin with, so hearing songs even more poorly recorded or before they were fleshed out really has no appeal to me. Additionally, Cryptopsy is one such band that's had some dodgy sounding material in the past, so hearing this music contrasted against a few new recordings really points that out as well.
Holy Suffocation, is this a tribute band? Actually, it's not. Dehuman is a Belgian death metal band that claims themselves to be an "old school death metal" band, and they are certainly right on the mark with that. BLACK THRONE OF ALL CREATION certainly could have done well in 1996 or so...long before this genre was uprooted and bastardized by all the influence of Metalcore to ruin future generations of sonic death.
While I appreciate the old school sound that Dehuman has, they unfortunately sound like they might have recorded with gear that hasn't been updated since the '90s as well.
Job For A Cowboy
For many years now, Job For A Cowboy has been somewhat of a whipping post for me. From their start, they were a metalcore band that wanted to be a death metal band, but were seemingly afraid to take it all the way over the edge and become just that. Their album GENESIS was kind of laughable to be honest; a collection of songs from a band that wasn't sure if they wanted to hop on the trend or have integrity. Their followup, RUINATION was a step in the right direction, but still featured a bit too much of that deathcore spirit for my taste. Somewhere along the way though, Job For A Cowboy must have heard from guys like me that wanted them to become a full fledged death metal band and stop messing around with trendy gimmicks. DEMONOCRACY is just what the doctor always ordered from them - full on brilliant death metal.

PLYMOUTH — Although many area yards had a crouton-like look and feel over the last six weeks, it has been a lucky summer for Marshall County and much of Northern Indiana.
Currently 54 Indiana counties were locked into active burn bans, while Marshall County entered fall without making the sizable list.
"You look at the map and its almost all directly south of us, besides Lake and Porter counties," Plymouth Fire Chief Andy Metsker said. "It's been one of those summers where it's been just wet enough. And, people have been careful and doing the right things so that we haven't had anything major in our area."
According to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, burn bans — restrictions on outdoor burning activities — are ordered by local chiefs like Metsker or their legislative body, city, town or county. Chiefs are obligated to decide what burning will or will not be allowed, and how long a ban lasts.
"Decisions are made based on all of the information that we get, from the Indiana State Fire Marshall's Office and other avenues," Metsker said.
To check current burn ban status, citizens can call their local fire department or log on to www.in.gov/dhs/files /burn-ban/.
Regardless of conditions, two times of the year constitute burning busy seasons, with one fast approaching.
"Typically early spring and late fall bring off things and trash from the winter out in the township," Metsker said. "Since there is a burning ban ordinance inside the city of Plymouth, we don't have any problems there. There are only recreational type burns allowed there."
More prevalent than actual danger in the fall is the inconvenience burning activities can cause.
"Outside the city limits you can have issues neighbor-to-neighbor with burning of leaves, where someone wants to open their windows and the folks next door or down the road are burning," Metsker said. "It's more bothersome than anything."
Throughout Indiana, trash cannot be burned due to the potential adverse affects on the environment and the population. Burning wood and related byproducts is fine, with proper discretion.
Metsker indicates local residents are good at using common sense.
"Most of the time they're very careful about it," Metsker said. "Rainy and low-wind days are great. You just have to pay attention to conditions, and the previous day's conditions are very important, too."
Outside of recreational activities such as campfires and bonfires, citizens are required to burn during daylight hours. If a large burn is needed, they are asked to contact their local sheriff's department.
"That's necessary so we aren't dispatched to things that aren't an emergency," Metsker said.

Add chicken to pot and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add carrot, celery, onion, and garlic; sauté until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in 4 thyme sprigs and 2 whole bay leaves. Add wine and boil until almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add enough broth to come halfway up sides of chicken; bring to boil. Cover pot; place in oven and braise until chicken is tender, turning chicken once, about 1 hour.
Remove pot from oven; transfer chicken to bowl and cool slightly. Strain braising liquid into large saucepan. Boil until liquid is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove skin and bones from chicken; shred chicken meat into bite-size pieces and reserve for chicken rillettes. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill chicken and braising liquid separately.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 3/4 cup butter to skillet and allow to melt. Stir in tarragon and thyme, then shredded chicken and reserved 2 1/2 cups braising liquid. Simmer until chicken is very moist and tender and liquid is slightly reduced but some liquid still remains, about 5 minutes. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Mix in parsley and chives.
Pack chicken rillettes into large glass jar or divide among smaller jars. Chill uncovered until cold, then seal jar and keep chilled. DO AHEAD Can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Serve rillettes with crusty bread and pickles.
