The mention of log cabins usually brings to mind thoughts of Abraham Lincoln chopping wood in a flannel shirt – hardly the image of sleek modern design. So, when we heard about OLGGA Architect's two-piece transportable log cabin – the Flake House, we knew we had to check out this eye-catching, curiosity piquing design. The exterior of the nomadic, road-ready dwelling appears for all the world like a stack of lumber that has been broken into two halves, while the interior strikes a complete contrast with smooth, sleek modern lines.
Lacking traditional accommodations such as a kitchen and a bathroom, the Flake House is in fact based on the concept of a "folie" and makes reference to a broken branch, whose unconventional scale is the main idea of this project. It is designed to be built-up, taken down, left behind or taken along, inhabited or left to its surroundings.
The initial design for the structure was conceived in 2006 for the CAUE 72 competition Petites Machines à Habiter, and will be exhibited this month at the Festival Estuaire in Nantes, France. For those of you interested in getting your hands on one, the Flake House will be up for auction via the Internet at the end of the festival, which runs June 5th-August 16th.

It is a very eye catching design. I think with a few different versions it will be a hit!

I wonder if government will demand property tax if one to bring this cabin into the woods somewhere in the US.
I don't think this approach as efficient as having a home on wheels, a camper.
Shropshire Architect June 4, 2009 at 11:02 am
A great idea. It doesn't matter how many trees are used, they are a renewable resource that absorb Co2 when growing. I suppose it could be built out of reused telegraph poles but that could affect the design.
vibenade June 4, 2009 at 2:37 am
how many trees exactly have to be cut down to built this thing??

Help prevent heart disease in women
It's February and American Heart Month - a time to focus on the continual battle to stamp out heart disease. WomenHeart and Clos du Bois announced they will join millions of Americans nationwide in supporting women's heart disease awareness and prevention with the launch of www.ToastToWomen.com. This new Web site is part of a year-long campaign to raise $100,000 to defeat women's heart disease, the leading cause of death for American women. The National Institutes of Health says heart disease kills eight times as many women as does breast cancer.Ideally timed between Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, www.ToastToWomen.com offers visitors a simple, heartfelt way to raise funds and awareness for women's heart disease by sending a free—yes, I said free--personalized e-card to the special women in their lives. For every e-card sent from ToastToWomen.com, Clos du Bois will donate $1 to WomenHeart: the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, for a total donation of $100,000. If you are 21 or over you may send one of three attractively designed, personalized e-cards by visiting www.ToastToWomen.com Simply insert your birth date in the boxes on the main page and hit enter. That takes you to the second step when you simply tap Send a free e-Toast now. On page three under Let's get started are Step 1: Choose a design Step 2: personalize and Step 3: Preview and send. These simple steps guarantee that another dollar goes to research while your friend or family member gets a heart-warming message. Let's not forget that every dollar counts.

Recovering NBU Catalog for system refresh
We are planning on building a new Netbackup instance in order to upgrade, and move from Windows to Linux (Red Hat) all at once. I have read that in order to perform a catalog restore to a new system, that they must be at the same version level. Therefore, I plan on upgrading our current Windows box to version 7.5 before moving over to Linux on the new box.
1st Question -
My primary question is, is it possible for me to take a backup of the catalog on a Windows 2008 server (NBU Version 7.5) and to recover that catalog in to a Red Hat Enterprise v6.2 (NBU Version 7.5) environment? From what I read online, Symantec keeps re-enforcing that version numbers need to be the same, but they do not talk much about going between system platforms. I just want to make sure that this is doable.
2nd Question -
If our Master server is based on Linux, can we still have Windows 2008 media servers that communicate with it? The reason I ask, is that I have been told by Symantec that VMware backups will not work unless the media server performing the backup (via V-center) needs to be a Windows machine. Therefore, we need to leave one of our media servers on Windows in order to accomadate this type of backup.
Thank you for any answers you can give me. I have read many documents, but none are very specific to my questions. I have also opened a ticket with Symantec support, but I find support off this forum is usualy more helpful.
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
1. You cannot restore a catalog from a windows server to a linux server.
It is possible via consulting services from one of the Symantec Partners, but not as an in-house task.
Here is a technote that confirms this :
Technical support are not allowed to carry out this work.
2. Windows media servers will work fine with a Linux master.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Goodbye again, old friend
This time, Bombers really are leaving the Polo Park stadium
In retrospect, we should have suspected it was all too neat and tidy.
A touchdown run by Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Chris Garrett before a sellout crowd on the final play -- supposedly ever -- at Canad Inns Stadium in last November's East Final put an exclamation point on a frigid 19-3 Winnipeg victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, sent Winnipeg to the Grey Cup and provided a storybook finish to a stadium that was, for better and worse, an icon in this city for over 50 years.
It was a little piece of Winnipeg history all nicely tied up in a pretty bow for us all to seemingly admire for generations to come. Until it wasn't.
Because, jump ahead 50 weeks to this afternoon and we're going to play out the whole "Final Game" charade again, only this time the fairy tale ending is a horror story, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have seemingly never been further from the Grey Cup and that capacity crowd from last year would fit nicely, probably with room to spare, in one grandstand this afternoon.
From heroes to zeros, the Bombers have fallen further and faster than that guy who jumped from outer space last month.
"I heard the new marketing phrase is: 'Last Time at Canad Inns -- This Time We're Serious,'" offensive tackle Glenn January laughed Friday following the last-ever practice at the Polo Park stadium.
And why not laugh -- the Bombers' season has been a joke and the Bombers organization has been a laughingstock and the only thing left to do is turn out the lights on a stadium that's the only thing in Winnipeg more broken down than Buck Pierce.
They say closure is essential in the recovery process after a traumatic event and there's not much doubt Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans were traumatized by their team this season. And so in that sense, perhaps the closure fans will obtain today -- on the 2012 season, on the stadium, on an entire era in this city's sporting history -- is coming at an ideal moment.
If the Bombers hit rock bottom this season -- on the field and in the front office -- than there is only one way to go from here. And January, for one, says he sees today's game -- coming as it does just 48 hours after the club announced head coach Tim Burke and general manager Joe Mack will return in 2013 -- as not so much the end of an era, but rather the beginning of one.
"Now that we have a future in place and we know we've got some continuity, we're not viewing this as the last game of this year, we're viewing it as the first game of next year. This is an opportunity for us to start something and end on a high note," said January.
"We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to the fans. And we owe it to the coaching staff and upper management to go out there and get a win."
A win today would actually cost the Bombers the first overall pick in next year's CFL draft because it would vault them over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and into seventh place overall in the final regular-season standings. But the mood in this organization this week is that they will gladly trade one place in the entry draft for the modicum of self-respect that would be earned from grinding out a win over the Montreal Alouettes this afternoon.
This is a team, after all, that has all too often failed over the last season-and-a-half to answer in games that called for a display of heart and character, most recently in a must-win game last weekend in Hamilton in which they mustered the grand total of 18 points against a Ticats defence that promptly gave up 43 points to a third-string quarterback in Toronto on Thursday in a must-win game of their own.
A win today certainly wouldn't provide the fairy tale finish of last year's East Final. But in some ways it would be an even more fitting send-off for the old stadium -- ugly, deeply flawed and very, very gritty.

Knockout leaves turning yellow, then crispy brown and falling
I have 8 knockout roses and 2 katy road pinks that all seem to have the same problem. The lower half leaves turn yellow, then crispy brown and fall off. The roses continue to grow and bloom but I'm left with leggy, scraggly bushes. We've had an ongoing drought for 3 years now and it's very difficult with so little rain to feel my garden is watered well. I have clay soil also. I was told it was blackspot but the leaves don't get spots and various treatements for fungus haven't helped. The stem even gets yellow at the point of connection to the cane.
If there are no spots it's probably not black spot. My guess is that the rose is just shedding older leaves due to heat and water stress. Leaves perspire and the rose loses water so it sheds leaves to maintain a better water supply to the parts that are growing. If they are other wise healthy and blooming I wouldn't worry...just water, a lot!
Lower leaves are the oldest leaves and will drop for any number of reasons but in heat and water stress, roses will sacrifice old growth for new. An annual dropping of leaves isn't uncommon as we enter a period of natural dormancy or significant weather changes that impact uptake or availability of nutrients to the plant.
Increasing the water during periods of heat and drought will limit the leaf-drop but also erecting some type of shade structure will limit it substantially as the intensity of the sunlight and heat is reduced.
Limiting or reducing fertilizer applications during extremely hot weather will curtail some new growth and not stress the bush as much.
Keep in mind that when leaves turn yellow and fall in a forest, we call it Autumn and expect the trees to go dormant as winter moves in. Some roses react the same way as they sense changes in humidity and temperature. In this area, we do a light pruning to remove summer growth and encourage new growth and fall blooms then do a hard-pruning in January. At that time, we remove all leaves anyway.
I believe blackspot is a tough disease for arid climates to have, especially when the average daily temperatures are over 90F and humidity less than 15%. Phoenix even saw a couple days where humidity was less than 0% this summer.
I agree with the others that it is probably aging leaves turning yellow and dropping off, but just to be sure, check and see how wet the soil is around those roses--like stick you finger in 4 inches and see if it is wet that deep down. If it is, you may be losing leaves from too much water. Perhaps you are overcompensating, given the drought and water problems, and now are over-watering. But if the soil is not wet, don't worry about it. Probably just an aging problem.
The stem even gets yellow at the point of connection to the cane.
That would be a concern, if the stems are turning yellow then I would wonder if the plant is either going dormant for the winter or you are having problems below the surface. It could be spider mites since you said it has been very dry. Are you seeing any webbing near the yellow leaves?
I definitely now think it's a combination of our intense heat this past summer and the lack of rain. Our city water tends to contain a lot of calcium and relying solely on it is difficult. With even just a 1/2 inch of rain you can notice a distinct difference in the landscape. I'm going to try using soaker hoses weekly to do a deep watering and see if that helps.

Estimation-Based Load-Balancing With Admission Control for Cluster Web Servers
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The growth of the World Wide Web and web-based applications is creating demand for high performance web servers to offer better throughput and shorter user-perceived latency. This demand leads to widely used cluster-based web servers in the Internet infrastructure. Load balancing algorithms play an important role in boosting the performance of cluster web servers. Previous load balancing algorithms suffer a significant performance drop under dynamic and database-driven workloads. The authors propose an estimation-based load balancing algorithm with admission control for cluster-based web servers. Because it is difficult to accurately determine the load of web servers, they propose an approximate policy.

Court not always the place for child-custody battles
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I do not believe your advice to Country Mom to get the husband to call his lawyer because his wife is withholding visitation because of a girlfriend of less than one year was helpful. I can relate. I've been in a relationship for five years. My partner's ex has taken away his children and refused him access to the children time and time again for no valid reason. It takes several months to appear in front of a judge. After several years of court battles, my partner was granted access to his children 50 per cent of the time. Eight months later, there was a minor disagreement and she refused to let him see his children for three months. My partner did everything to gain back access to them. Even if there is a custody agreement, everything must be done through the court -- a slow and painful process.
Then the judge decided not to restore the 50 per cent agreement, as the child-care arrangement had already been changed and it would be a disruption to the children's lives. They now have to wait for a trial judge, which costs thousands of dollars and many more months. So my partner's ex clearly did something illegal, and not only were there no consequences, but she was rewarded! I agree it can't hurt for Country Mom to call the ex herself, however, a hang-up is likely all she will get. -- Seen How the System Works, Winnipeg
Dear Seen the System: Divorce mediation is another way to go. It would help, in this case, to get all three people involved to work it out. It's really Country Mom -- the new girlfriend -- that the ex-wife is fighting in this battle. So far she is winning. Why would she want to co-operate? Luckily, divorce mediators have ways and means that can often work to reduce the anger and jealousy quotient between parents and get everybody to work together for the childrens' sake.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This situation described by Country Mom may not be entirely as it seems. There is a business called Fairway Divorce Solutions that helps couples mediate these kind of situations and is far less costly than the court option. I have been there and done the court thing and I wish Fairway was available then. They are at 204-414-9181, 43 Scurfield Blvd. -- Another Way, Winnipeg
Dear Another Way: This divorce mediation group also offers one free consultation. The website fairwaydivorce.com has more information.

Add Your Voice to the Movement
August 23, 2011 by HRC staff
Our bus tour is packed with ways to better connect you to the LGBT community, from workshops to sermons to open houses. Though our bus may move on to the next tour stop, the spirit and excitement lingers.
HRC's 'On the Road to Equality' tour brings together a true representation of our diverse community. We asked the group in Nebraska to take a moment to add their voices to the movement, and to tell America why equality is important to them and their state. Despite their different backgrounds, the message was the same: Equality gives the LGBT community the chance to love themselves.
One man from Omaha, Nebraska said that his decision to live equally and openly has allowed him to better care for himself and his family.
Another woman said she defends equality because, "I'm an American and it's my responsibility as an American citizen to protect all other American citizens, regardless of their gender, their religion, their sexual orientation."
Check out our video page to see what else the people of Nebraska had to say about our tour, Nebraska's LGBT community, and their struggle to live honestly. Their stories are an inspirational glimpse into the resilience of a diverse community that is too often marginalized.
Get on board and be a part of the equality movement. Stop by an open house near you and share your story of equality.

Because who actually wants to wait in line at Starbucks?
As ELLE's photo director, I am responsible for every single image we publish in the magazine. Hey, it takes a lot of synthetic energy to hawkeye a zillion contact sheets every day! And as a mother of two with an hour-long commute, my patience for fussy pick-me-ups is, well, zero. That is why I am obsessed with Grady's Cold Brew coffee concentrate. I first heard of it last summer when [associate editor] Seth Plattner kept a growler of it in the communal fridge. I watched enviously as he poured the stuff over ice and then mixed in milk for the perfect at-your-desk latte. The bottle is chic. It makes an awesome present. Plus, with eight servings in each $15 bottle, it's a whole lot more economical than that $6 Agave Rhubarb Frappuccino you're sipping on. In short: Grady's on the rocks, rocks.

January 18-24; Touring Guatemala
By DAVID W. CHEN
Published: January 25, 1998
After gunmen raped five American college students in Guatemala last weekend, some people questioned whether the students should have been there at all. The State Department had warned that the country was dangerous for tourists.
Defending the St. Mary's College program, Jorge Rogachevsky, a professor on the ill-fated trip, said, ''Part of education is to reach out and expand into areas that are somewhat unknown that have an enriching quality.'' Many St. Mary's students agreed, saying they hoped the program would not be scaled back. DAVID W. CHEN

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman (later the entirety of DC), Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings -- arguably a majority of the world's largest entertainment properties -- have all been brought to life in videogames after being passed through the adorable LEGO filter by Traveller's Tales. And, well, they've handled each franchise masterfully and created some truly great games with each of them over the years. What could possibly be next?
I can't be the only one who's been dreaming since LEGO Star Wars that we would one day see LEGO Marvel make its videogame debut, but, seeing as Traveller's Tales is a subsidy of Warner Bros., it was seemingly never going to happen. However, by some remarkable turn of events (due to the magic of licensing), here we are with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
It's nothing short of a miracle this game was even made, but it's something we can only be happy about.view full story + comments

For the love of god, somebody get me a 3DS. I made the unfortunate mistake of backing the wrong Nintendo console, grabbing a Wii U late last year, when I should have put my eggs in the portable basket. Now I'm not able to play the fantastic Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and I feel absolutely terrible.
Along with Donkey Kong, a few other choice morsels launch this week. Resident Evil Revelations makes the move from the 3DS to home consoles; The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing sees the eponymous hero hunt monsters in a gothic-noir fantasy universe; Call of Juarez goes back to its western roots in Gunslinger; and the Wii U gets a bunch of ports. Lucky me.

LEGO City Undercover for the Wii U, despite a heap of technical issues, brought a ton of charm to the platform. The fully voice acted experience was not without its camp and cheese factor, but ultimately it provided a fun open world experience for fans who were longing for a new Wii U game to play.
Enter the portable version, titled The Chase Begins for the Nintendo 3DS. It tells the story of super-cop Chase McCain before he was, in fact, a super-cop. As a companion to the Wii U version, it had the opportunity to augment the console package, and possibly push the brand into new territory.

Underneath my gruff exterior beats the heart of a kid obsessed with LEGO. Even now, if I see some of those little bricks, I drop what I'm doing, and start building, ignoring whoever else is in the room. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that I'm pretty excited for LEGO City: Undercover, which drops this week along with a whole bunch of other games.
Set in an open world and story-based, it sounds like my cup of tea, especially since my favorite LEGO game has to be LEGO Batman 2. And come on, the hero is called Chaise McCain, the name I wish I was now blessed with.
Along with the tiny brick goodness, a slew of other games launch this week. Gears of War: Judgement is a thing, and will undoubtedly feature shooting and steroids; fighting giant monsters refuses to go out of style in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate; The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct appears, and still looks terrible; and the Wii U gets a Need for Speed game. All this a more falls from the skies this week.

Nissan backs the ground-breaking DeltaWing experimental racing car project
By Vincent Rice
March 29, 2012
By definition racing vehicles are these days developed within the confines of a formula to ensure a level of close competition. The formulas are changed every season or so but developments tend to be incremental rather than revolutionary. One experimental project that has been running outside of any formula and hopes to truly change the face of racing is the Delta Wing project designed by US-based Brit' Ben Bowlby and supported by motorsport legends Don Panoz and Dan Gurney. Now the project has attracted a suitably hi-tech powerplant, some serious sponsorship, and its first race.
We first wrote about the DeltaWing over two years ago when the concept, with a rolling mock-up, was entered in a competition to design the IndyCar vehicle of the future. It's unclear whether the conservative IndyCar organization still has any intention of embracing a radically new type of racing car but the partnership of Bowlby, Panoz and Gurney obviously felt the potential rewards justified development of the unusual composite chassis.
The DeltaWing is unlike any other racing car currently on track. The driver sits well back in the car, almost over the rear axle and looks ahead down a long, narrow fuselage to narrow twin front tires, specially created for the car by tire partner Michelin. With a rear-mounted engine, the car has a strong rearward weight bias, which makes it highly maneuverable, while its light weight and slippery shape make it far more efficient.
To take the project to the next stage, and perhaps a slightly different direction, global manufacturer Nissan has committed in a big way to providing engines and engineering development expertise. A race-prepared 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, featuring direct petrol injection and a turbocharger, will power "Nissan DeltaWing", which is half the weight and has half the aerodynamic drag of a conventional racer.
Nissan is no stranger to endurance racing and indeed the Nissan DeltaWing's first real race will be at Le Mans. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the organizers of the famous Le Mans 24 Hours has invited the car to run in this year's race from "Garage 56" - the spot in the pit lane reserved for experimental cars. As it doesn't conform to any existing championship regulations, Nissan DeltaWing will not be eligible to challenge for silverware and will carry the race number "0".
The new engine, badged DIG-T (Direct Injection Gasoline – Turbocharged), is expected to produce around 300 hp, sufficient to give Nissan DeltaWing lap times between LMP1 and LMP2 machines at Le Mans, despite having only half the power of those conventional prototypes. It features the same technology found in Nissan road cars, such as the Nissan Juke DIG-T.
Concept originator and designer Ben Bowlby commented: "Nissan has provided us with our first choice engine. It's a spectacular piece. We've got the engine of our dreams: it's the right weight, has the right power and it's phenomenally efficient."
The first two Nissan DeltaWing drivers to be confirmed are British Sportscar racer Marino Franchitti (brother of IndyCar star Dario) and Nissan's reigning FIA GT1 World Champion Michael Krumm. The 2012 Le Mans 24 hour will be raced on the 16th to 17th of June and there is sure to be huge interest in this unique vehicle - and yes, it does go around corners - here's the video evidence.

With open wheel wells? That's a laugh. The rules of aerodynamics being violated suggests that this is an unworthy effort.Facebook User

@Nicholson: Maybe you have to reconsider. Formula-1, Nascar, Indycar, Touring-Cars, they all have open wheel wells for a reason. And they don't perform bad.sascha.kremers
30th March, 2012 @ 06:40 am PDT
Even with the habit of open wheel wells, nobody would do such a project, nor NISSAN would welcome, if it was not very feasible.
I was waiting for news like this, since the presentation of that innovative design.Sergius

They called it maneuverable I call it unstable.Slowburn
30th March, 2012 @ 12:48 pm PDT
This car is running backwards.
Accepted practice is to have a three wheeler (which this essentially is) with the two wheels in front since when turning the the outside front wheel will be subject to the highest load . Learned this while racing soap box cars.
This car is sacrificing turning dynamics for aero dynamics. Question is : which is more important on a car built for this kind of racing ?stan lind
30th March, 2012 @ 01:24 pm PDT
This looks very promising to me and I have been following it since it's beginning.
Good luck to all involved, can't wait for the race!
30th March, 2012 @ 02:10 pm PDT
re; stan lind
So long as the weight is in the tripod and low either design works well. The Morgan 3 wheeler was notoriously unstable but then the incredibly poorly designed Reliant Robin came along. I think it was an eugenics experiment.Slowburn

I worked at BigMachines full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
Don't know. It used to be great, and I would sing its praises whenever I could. Being an early employee, my career grew exponentially thanks to the opportunities I had at BigMachines. If you worked hard and proved yourself, the promotions and advancement were limitless. Unfortunately, I don't think it's the same place now as it was then.Cons
I stumbled onto this site looking for something else, and happened to click on the BigMachines profile. Reading the employee reviews and how dissatisfied they are with the current state of BM just makes me happy that I left when I did (several years ago for reasons unrelated to dissatisfaction). I left when the old management regime was still there, and all were well respected, smart, and nice folks. The kind of people that you knew had your back if you needed it, and seemed to really care about employee happiness. It sounds like the new management that was brought in by the Board is just the opposite. That is a shame.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Returned 10 pallets of retaining wall block on Friday!
The driver was not happy with me!
He had three off the trailer and put in their spot. I'm looking at these things going "What the heck are they?" "Where's the front?" They were two and a half feet long! They're only supposed to be 12" wide! How the heck am I supposed to turn a corner with these? They weighed darn near 100 lbs! So I tell the driver, don't take any more off the truck and call the salesman. He's not in, talk to a different, very nice man. He says you need to split them in half with a chisel. WHAT???? I say "You have got to be kidding me." I was in tears, I was so upset. No one told me this! So I need to pick out different block for the retaining wall. Something I don't have to break apart!! Why me.
The trench has been dug for 3 freakin' weeks. I want the darn wall in!!
