I read a blog post from Australia today
hinting that Google may be getting into the backup business. Actually,
what this article says is, "Online backup services allow people to use
the internet like a hard drive." Those are their words, not ours.
Carbonite thinks backup is a lot more than just disk space in the
Think about the problem you're trying to solve: Tomorrow you might
wake up and find out that your hard drive has crashed and everything on
your PC is gone. Or maybe you're like me and you leave your laptop in a
taxi in NY and watch in frustration as it disappears around the corner
forever. Or maybe you've been working on that big presentation for the
last week and at the last minute you do something dumb and erase it.
There have been rumours about Google and Microsoft getting into the
backup business for more than a year. Microsoft finally unveiled their
entry called Windows Live SkyDrive. Google's rumoured "G-drive"
has yet to appear, but we're guessing it will be similar to SkyDrive –
less about automated backup and more about collaboration, file sharing,
and storing a limited number of active documents in the cloud. It will
not be free. Like SkyDrive, you'll get a certain amount of space for
free, and you'll have to pay for more. Compared with Carbonite, it will
be expensive for most users. It will not encrypt your data because
encrypting make sharing applications nearly impossible. And it won't
automatically back up everything on your PC as we do. You'll have to
make a lot of choices and think about it each time.
Our idea of backup is that it should be like buying car insurance –
once you purchase it, you put it in the drawer until disaster strikes.
The less intrusive it is, the better. The one feature of SkyDrive that
I like is the ability to access a backed up file remotely in an
emergency. I was recently on a business trip and forgot to bring a file
that I had on my home computer. It would have been nice to get it from
my home computer's Carbonite backup. We've figured out a way to do this
that preserves the encryption and security of Carbonite's backup, and I
am hoping we can get this feature into a release later this year.
— Dave CEO, Carbonite
I'd like to draw your attention to an article from Heise Security
that claims that some online backup services are not secure. I'm
pleased that Carbonite was among the two that the writers were unable
to compromise. While an article like this is not exactly good publicity
for the online backup industry, if their findings are true (and I
believe they are), some of these vendors deserve to be criticized for
bringing weak products to market that damage the reputation of the
whole industry. I agree with the sentiment expressed on Backup Review:
"Online backup, like online banking and online credit card
transactions, can be made to be very secure, but not everyone is going
to do it right."
In Carbonite's Customer Support department, we answer thousands of questions each week, and many folks want to know the same things. I've compiled a list of the top ten questions we receive most often and the best (general) answers we can give. These answers are specific to Carbonite Version 3.5. (If you're on an earlier version, log into your account and reinstall Carbonite to get the latest version.) Given the length of some of the answers, I have decided to turn this into a multi-part post. And so, without any further ado...
1. What operating systems does Carbonite support, and what new ones are planned for support in the future?
Right now, Carbonite runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista. We're just a few months away from our Macintosh version's release. We didn't develop for nor test on Windows Server 2003 or Windows Small Business Server, but most folks using those operating systems run Carbonite just fine – we just recommend that you first install a trial, back some files up, and test restoring them to make sure that your Windows Server configuration is compatible with Carbonite. We're working on a small business edition of Carbonite due for release later this year that will support some Windows Server operating systems. Carbonite doesn't work on Windows 2000, versions of Windows prior to XP (such as Windows 98 or Windows ME), or Linux.
2. What do the different colored dots mean?
Carbonite has received some excellent news coverage over the past week.
I'm not going to post all the links, but there are two articles that I
wanted to share with those of you who are interested.
First off, today, on the front page of the Business section of the
Boston Globe, was an article about Online Backup. In the article, "Backups are a Breeze Online", Hiawatha Bray discusses the benefits of Carbonite and Mozy. More importantly, he sings the praises of Carbonite:
Given their nearly identical features, either Mozy or Carbonite will get the job done.
But Mozy is beset with a relatively geeky user interface and a tendency
to throw up unexpected and confusing on-screen messages. Company
officials admitted that they need to make their software more
user-friendly. On that score, Carbonite is just about flawless. Just
install it, launch it, and forget about it.

Earlier in the week (Monday, April 28th), Fort Myers News-Press tech columnist Al Winchell wrote about Carbonite, saying:
Carbonite not the least of which is I can personally attest to the fact
that when I was ready to download my XP data from Carbonite to my new
Vista hard drive, it performs flawlessly. I simply moved the Carbonite
utility to my new Vista hard drive, selected the data I wanted to
download (had I wanted to, I could have downloaded all 85 gigabytes of
data) from Carbonite's Backup Drive presentation on my computer's list
of drives, right-clicked on the data and selected 'Restore To.' That's
all there was to it.

We are always happy to see the Carbonite message getting out there,
because so few people realize that online backup is an easy and secure
solution to preventing data loss. I'll be sure to keep you posted with
more coverage.

Yesterday was Earth Day, but on the radio someone said that it's
actually Earth Week.
Our question
is: since when does being environmentally friendly need to be confined
to a set time period? Shouldn't this time of heightened awareness for
our planet last for more than one week? Shouldn't we keep the future of
our earth at the top of mind all the time and not just for one
designated week?
But a week (or day) is better than nothing, and hearing that made us think of simple things we can all do to help save the planet. Like backing up, which this NextAdvisor.com post suggests as way to help us go green. With online backup, you don't have to save hard copies of
documents and you don't have to store stacks of plastic disks or CDs
with all your backups on them. And, online backup cuts down on home
storage devices that have to be produced and shipped around the globe.
So, if you don't use online backup for any other reason… do it for the
planet. After all, it is "Earth Week."
This is a picture of Han Solo encased in carbonite from Star Wars. If you haven't seen the Star Wars movies, check out Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back. Carbonite (as in the photo) is featured in both of them.
So why the name Carbonite? First, Jeff Flowers and I are Star Wars
fans. All our servers have Star Wars names, like Yoda, R2D2, Luke, etc.
Secondly, carbonite is a hard material, harder than steel, and connotes
the strength and safety of our data center. And finally, there's the
oblique reference to "carbon copy", as in "Carbonite keeps a carbon
copy of your data...", a phrase we use frequently in our radio
There are a couple of other reasons we went with this name. A very important one was that the URL was available, www.carbonite.com.
Second, when you hear the word "carbonite," you can probably spell it.
If you're going to be advertising on the radio, like we do, you want
people to be able to spell the company's name when they hear it.
Otherwise nobody's going to find your web site. That's my number one
rule for company names. And finally, when you're spending millions of
dollars building a brand name, you want something short, snappy, and
Anyway, that the science of picking a company name!
We're so excited that the Carbonite blog is up and running. There's
been some great coverage on Carbonite recently and we wanted to share some links with you.
USA Today: Carbonite gets personal about backing up PC files
USA Today: Talking Tech Spotlight Video
Bootcamp Technology Show on Bloomberg Radio: Listen to an interview with David Friend
Spokesman Review: When hard drives fail: My experience shows you need to have a plan
We'll keep you posted as more coverage comes in!
I'm David Friend, Carbonite's co-founder and CEO. I've been asked to launch our new blog with a few words about the company, how we got started and what we are trying to achieve. I'm looking forward to being an active participant on this blog and hope you will take the time to do the same.
Jeff Flowers and I founded Carbonite in 2005. We got the idea because Jeff's wife had her laptop stolen (it wasn't backed up) and my daughter had a hard drive crash (she lost half a semester's work). We couldn't find a good solution for them, so we decided to build one ourselves.
In general, our design philosophy is "simple is better." We prefer products like the iPod over things with tons of features but are hard to use. The problem we're trying to solve with Carbonite is a simple one: any day we could lose everything on our computers. And we think this problem demands a simple solution. That's why we created the first unlimited pricing plan in the backup industry – you don't have to make any choices, and you never outgrow it. That's why we made our backup continuous – most people want to backup as they go and not have to worry about leaving their computer on all night for some old-fashioned batch job to run. And most people want to know that their data is really safe, so we use the strongest commercial encryption available and we store our customers' data on redundant disk arrays that are 36 million times more reliable than the hard drive in your computer. Our idea of a great product advance is figuring out how to eliminate an unnecessary feature (which adds needless complexity) by making it automatic so you don't have to think about it.
Are we perfect? No. We have a long list of great ideas for ways to improve the service and we're implementing them with each new release. Most of these ideas we get from our users (even more of an incentive for you to leave comments). Mostly we want things to be simpler, cleaner, more self-explanatory. Nobody we know really wants to "use" a backup system – they just want their data to be completely safe. So the easier the better.
In future blog posts, I'll tell you about some of our challenges. Meanwhile, I'd like to hear from you: do you have thoughts or questions about the product, our service (I know, sometimes you have to wait to talk to a customer support rep – we're working on it), or the people who make up our company?
— Dave CEO, Carbonite

One of the very first things I learned about when I became vegan was refined sugar. It simply disgusted me that a lot of sugar brands are refined through animal bone-char. That is NASTY. Unrefined sugar is easy to find, tastes so much better, and doesn't require animal by-products in the production process (plus, it is so much prettier in its natural color). I only use sugar when baking and sometimes in cooking, but I have been making a lot of cupcakes lately, and I was seeking out some colored sugar crystal sprinkles to adorn my cupcakes. After looking both online and in several grocery stores, I discovered that a vegan sugar crystal sprinkle does not exist. Some people have recommended the India Tree brand, but I was skeptical of the "sugar" on the ingredient label. So, I e-mailed the company asking if the sugar they use in their sprinkles is refined, and if so, is it refined by the bone-char process. The response? I was told that India Tree does in fact use bone-char processing for their sprinkles, but that no remnants remain in the final product.
Well, even though there are no "remnants" (eeeewwwwwww!!!!!) in the sugar, the process is definitely NOT vegan. I will be attempting ways to make my own colored sugar crystals…if I succeed, I will post my methods! I am aware of these vegan sprinkles made in Germany, but I really want a "crystal" sprinkle! If anybody knows of a brand I've overlooked, please let me know! I am aware that the "sugar issue" is a personal choice for people. For me, knowing that animals suffered in order to refine sugar is enough for me to purchase and use only unrefined. Compassion for animals!

After 10 years of incentive regulation, reliability has declined in Ontario. Regulators failed to enforce service-quality standards, and consumers are suffering as a result.
Ontario's Failed Experiment (Part 2)
Service quality suffers under PBR framework.
for three years now, the Board considered it timely to review the SQIs and to further develop service quality regulation applicable to electricity distributors…
The notice listed the issues for review: review of the existing service quality indicators; consideration of additional or replacement indicators; the frequency and the periodicity of reported performance; defining degraded service and regulatory responses to service degradation (remedial action reports, possible financial consequences); urban and rural, large and small, and other distinctions in reporting or standards; and, the form and purpose of service quality audits in a comprehensive SQR plan (remedial plans and financial rewards or penalties).
Subsequently, Ontario Energy Board staff released a paper, "Service Quality Regulation for Ontario Electricity Distribution Companies" (2003 staff report). Importantly, an associated staff discussion paper reaffirmed the link between quality and rates: just and reasonable rates must consider the quality of the service provided: "Service quality regulation is integral to economic rate regulation, to setting 'just and reasonable' rates. From the perspective of the users or customers of the service, there must be a consideration of the 'value' of the product or service, where value is defined as the product or service meeting or exceeding the needs and expectations of customers relative to the price charged." 3
The 2003 staff report noted under cost of service (CoS) regulation, firms' incentives weren't at odds with service quality because they earned a return on investments and prudent and necessary costs were passed along to the customers. The staff discussion paper noted that under CoS the review process was usually annual, and embedded a review of service quality and reliability.
" …Such reviews occurred periodically—often annually. Service quality could be reviewed as part of the revenue requirement and rate application, with consideration of how existing operational expenses and planned capital investments would contribute to the maintenance or improvement of service quality. Poor service quality could also be a factor considered by the regulator in reducing the allowed revenue requirement (without exacerbating the situation by the utility cutting costs and services in response to reduced revenues)…Also, the 'rate base' concept of CoS regulation, some argue, provides an incentive for the firm to overinvest and provide 'gold-plated' service, and so service degradation is thus seen as less of a risk under CoS regulation."
Commenting on PBR, the 2003 staff report noted that differing incentives might result in cost containment degrading service. Under PBR, the OEB staff noted a greater need for ongoing monitoring of service performance:
"… PBR differs from CoS in that it provides incentives for a firm to improve its productivity … Another advantage to PBR is … less frequent detailed reviews … With less frequent detailed reviews, there is an increased need for ongoing monitoring of service performance, to ensure that any problems that do occur are addressed … Also, the incentives inherent in PBR … could result in … degraded service. Service quality monitoring serves as a counterbalance to ensure that adequate service is maintained … In some PBR plans … the service performance of the firm may be a parameter affecting

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

I am a Mother of two living in Christchurch, New Zealand. I love crafting and teaching it where I can. I have held crafting classes in my own home as well as at church, my kids school and do craft lessons at stepping Stones Trust (an outreach for those with mental illness). I am currently on the Creative Clay Design team which ends March/April 2012 but will be reapplying. I am also on the Fiskars Ambassador program (bit like a design team position) for Australian and New Zealand division (this position has been long term since May 2008). I believe in recycling where I can often using plastic bottles, plastic packaging, old clothing and cereal boxes in my crafting. I love the challenge of creating my own embellishments.
I am a Graphic Design and Multimedia Graduate putting some of those skills into my crafting and online presence. Currently cleaning at church and volunteering in the office there and very happy with that as I have more time to craft.
My future goals are to get paid work in the Scrapbook/crafting industry.... in what area.... not sure where and how at this stage but working on it... the ultimate would be designing papers and embellishments for a company. Or even doing paid demonstrations and classes. Until then I am happy where I am and what I am doing.

The work is in three movements, the second and third of which run consecutively. While it is possible to see the cello as the main protagonist of the quartet, as the music progresses the texture becomes fully integrated, and there are important solo passages for the first violin and the viola. It was preceded by Shostakovich's Fifteenth Symphony, which saw a return to more classical structural precepts – although the composer's gift for creating large-scale works from the merest of thematic germs is there shown at its most complete. The symphony, however, has another layer of interest, for Shostakovich admitted that it had an underlying 'programme': the story of a man's life. In effect, it was his own life, but the aspect of reminiscence – which assumed greater importance in his few remaining works and which impinged upon his thinking at that time – can also be found in the Fourteenth Quartet.
This is not to say that this feature, exemplified in self-quotation, is as pervasive as it was in the Eighth Quartet, but it is there to some degree. It would equally be wrong to infer that No 14 is easier to grasp than its immediate predecessors, despite the relative outward simplicity of structure and melodic appeal which it undoubtedly possesses, for beneath the surface – especially in the finale – there are, as we might expect with this composer, more subtle processes at work.
The entire material for the Fourteenth is derived from the first six bars: a repeated F sharp on the viola, above a quirky, almost childish, theme on the cello. The working of these ideas is not difficult to follow, although we may at first miss the implications of the rather odd preparation for the second group of themes – first, again on the cello, and secondly, a continuation on the first violin (as a third idea). What might pass for the development is concerned with four 'workings' of this material – as duos, trios and textural 'spatial' effects, ending on a high C sharp before a viola recitative heralds a truncated recapitulation, almost in the 'wrong' key. The cello then has a longer recitative, joined by the viola and second violin in continuing the reminiscence of the first idea; the movement peters out in F sharp.
The second movement, Adagio, begins as if it were to be a slow study on an eleven-bar theme in D minor on solo first violin, which contains all twelve notes of the chromatic scale. A few bars of full texture leads to another unaccompanied first violin idea, now joined by the cello, who takes up the initial theme. In one of Shostakovich's most remarkable stretches of quartet-writing, a long duo between violin and cello ensues, until both violins, with the viola pizzicato between them, decorate the texture above a long cello line, arco, of great expressiveness. The pizzicato is gradually discarded, and the passage dies away with repeated As on second violin, leading to the final section of the movement, which slowly oscillates between G minor and its leading tonality, F sharp. First violin revives the pizzicato, repeating C sharp (the dominant of the home key), and then the finale is upon us – with a theme taken directly from Shostakovich's opera Katerina Ismailova, the second version of the opera Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk (then still banned in Russia).
The text is 'Serezha, my dear! my dear!', no doubt a reference to the cellist; the finale is in two main halves, both devoted to full (yet very different) development of this material, with earlier themes from the quartet (and elsewhere) moulded into a fast and almost explosively powerful outpouring, followed by a gradual lightening of texture and slowing of tempo: a far more lyrical treatment of the ideas, with the cello fascinatingly scored so as to be heard above the other instruments, quietly brings the Quartet to a close in F sharp major.

Hello, hope this the right place for this question, sorry if it is not.
I am looking to get an DSLR for the family, so I can take pictures of birthdays, weddings, etc, I would also like the camera to take good low light photos.
I also want HD video to film my son.
I think I have narrowed it down to the cameras above but I can not really tell if it worth spending the extra money on the EOS 650D, compared with the 600D?
Do the cameras have similar lens mounts?
I am asking as I am wondering if I get the 550D that they may stop making lenses for it?
The camera will also eventually be used to take macro shots of mouths (I am a dentist not just weird...) so this also comes into consideration.
The lenses I am looking at I have put links up to and wanted to know if they were ok for what I need them for?
Also, the HD video that is taken, what file type is it and what editing software can you use to edit it and how can you watch it on a TV.
I brought a HD camera (JVC) and transferring files and editing them was a nightmare and trying to watch them on a TV even harder, so that is why I am asking.
If you have got this far, thanks

Earlier this year, Onkyo announced a few new receivers. Now, we're already seeing one of them go on sale.
Amazon has the Onkyo TX-NR515 7.2-channel receiver listed for just $376.36. This is a little over $222 off the list price, and also includes free shipping.
The TX-NR515 features hardwired Ethernet networking, with the option to add wireless via the UWF-1 Wireless USB adapter (sold separately). That connectivity is important, too, since this receiver has music "cloud server" access via MP3tunes.
Other features include 3D support, InstaPrevue, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, Onkyo's own WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology), Audio Channel Return, and plenty of HDMI and USB ports. It also has Marvell's Qdeo processing, Dolby Pro Logic IIz support, and Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL). That MHL feature is an interface protocol that allows 1080p video and stills with 7.1 channels of surround sound to travel over HDMI from MHL-compatible smartphones and other portable devices.
Of course, this model is also compatible with Onkyo's free Remote App for the iPod touch, iPhone and Android devices.
There's no word on how long Amazon will have this receiver at this price, but it is the least expensive that we've seen. Just make sure to choose Super Saver Shipping to get delivery for free, and save a little more on this purchase.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
