The Storage Team Blog about file services and storage features in Windows and Windows Server.
I see this question fairly often in the DFS_FRS newsgroup. A customer will be setting up a new namespace and wonders whether he needs to move a bunch of shares under the root folder. The answer is simple: don't use the root folder for storage. Keep your shares elsewhere and create folders in the namespace (aka links) that point to those shares. The Distributed File System service will create its own structures under the root, but there is no need for you to store files and folders there.
Okay, you've said that there is no need to store files and folders there. My question is, is there a reason NOT to store files and folders there.
We are designing a DFS architecture where we plan to create a domain DFS root for each user... the root share will be their home directory... in a subdirectory, we will create DFS links to other shares that the user has access to. One of the advantages to having the users home directory files and folders stored directly in that DFS root folder is that we hope to use Windows 2003 R2 folder based quotas and we would like the quota to be reflected in the clients explorer window (if the quota is associated with a subdirectory of the share, explorer doesn't reflect the available free space accurately).
One drawback to storing files/folders in the root is the fact that you can't take individual root targets offline (i.e., disable their referrals), whereas you can take individual link targets offline.
Also, the R2 DFS Mgmt snap-in does not offer a way to replicate the root folders of a namespace. You have to do this manually by setting up a replication group w/replicated folders that correspond to the root folders.
Finally, if you ever plan to add a link to that root, you should not name it the same name as an existing subfolder under the root. This limitation exists because DFS creates a subfolder under the root that corresponds to the link name. This subfolder is actually a reparse point that, when accessed remotely, redirects users to the remote target. I believe if a folder with the link name already exists, DFS will rename that existing folder (by appending text) and then create a new folder using the link name.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A majority in the North Carolina Senate says the General Assembly should get out of the business of choosing which toll-road projects should be built.
Senators tentatively agreed Wednesday to a House bill that initially directed the Department of Transportation to review an alternate route for a section of Raleigh's yet-to-be-completed Outer Beltline.
But Senate Republicans added language that removed the mandate in state law requiring toll projects for Gaston County and Wilmington roads and for the Mid-Currituck Bridge to be built. Sen. Bill Rabon of Brunswick County says the bill won't kill the three projects but rather throw them back in the pool of projects being evaluated by state engineers for construction.
A final Senate vote is expected Thursday, but House members aren't immediately likely to support the change.

How to deal with the common problem of Dandruff?
Are you drinking 12 to 14 glasses of water a day, having fresh fruits, leafy vegetables and salads in your diet? Are you cheerful and happy always? Well...if it's a yes, then you are on the right track of a 360 degrees transformation!
Today it is all about Dandruff.
This is something that everyone has experienced and suffered some time or the other. Dandruff is the presence of tiny whitish flakes on the scalp and the hair. Medically it is known as 'pityriasis' and this can affect people of all ages- from early teens to old age.
The primary cause of dandruff is the excessive shedding of outermost cells. It could also be caused due to an imbalanced diet, poor blood circulation, unclean hair, over usage of shampoo and not rinsing the hair after shampooing.
Kinds of Dandruff
Greasy or waxy
Dry dandruff- causes
Inadequate blood circulation
Insufficient stimulation of the nerves
Stress and emotional disturbance
Glandular disturbance
Non production of sufficient oil
Lead a healthy lifestyle which includes regular workout, early morning walks, yoga and so on. Meditate. This helps you to remain calm and peaceful. Healthy diet. Drinking plenty of fluids, eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid fatty food and red meat. Keep your hair squeaky clean always using herbal shampoo. Positive thinking and life. Don't be over obsessed with your problems
Try an Ozone scalp treatment at a reputed beauty salon.
Hot oil therapy – massage your head regularly with hot oil.
Lime therapy- dip a halved lime in hot oil and scrub on your scalp. Let it remain for 15 minutes and wash off thoroughly.
Antiseptic lotion treatment. If the itching is really bad, you could apply antiseptic lotion and wash off after 15 minutes.
You could also try a Henna treatment.
Waxy type dandruff - causes
Here dandruff is mixed with sebum which makes the scalp itchy. As a result scales could tear off and start to bleed or ooze.
Keep the scalp clean by shampooing regularly with a herbal shampoo.
Massage your hair with hot oil twice in a week.
If you are using anti dandruff shampoo (ensure you buy the shampoo from a reputed company even if it's slightly expensive) first of all be patient. It takes time. Secondly change the shampoo every four weeks, as otherwise the dandruff will be immune to it.
Herbal Treatment
Massage scalp with essential oils like rosemary, cedar, lemon and eucalyptus.
Soak Methi seeds overnight, grind the next morning, mix in the juice of neem leaves and apply on the scalp. Wash off after 15 minutes. Warm olive oil lightly with a little of camphor and apply on the scalp parting the hair straight and then massaging the scalp in circular movements with your finger tips.
The main thing is to remember there is a solution to every problem.

You've probably noticed that big is back as far as necklaces go—just check out the latest issue of Stringing magazine to see some of the boldest designs ever. These big-bead necklaces give flash and interest to the more simple fashions on the runway these days.
Admittedly, I'm not much of a fashion maven, but I sure have been eyeing those bigger beads at my local bead shop. I've even brought several home. If you're like me and working with big beads these days, you'll find out quickly that working with them poses a different set of challenges than working with smaller beads. These challenges, however, all have easy solutions:
BalanceWhen working with big beads, you'll want to work your design so the beads balance not only visually, but physically.
Either way, place the beads so the design stays put. You don't want your necklace sliding one way or another because it's not balanced. AbrasionBig beads tend to pull on stringing wire, causing the wire to abrade. It's your job to do everything you can to avoid that situation.
fantastic tips!
Jean - I was shocked to say the least and so thrilled to have my necklace on the Beading Daily website!
The necklace was designed to have the clasp on the side - either side - and this will cause a whole different style of the necklace to appear as you bring each group of beads into the focal point.
This necklace will look just as stunning with a turtle neck and belted cable sweater vest as it does with a linen sheath and jacket.
It is a great honor to be in the Stringing magazine.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones finds his first-team place under threat from fit-again Jose Reina this weekend, but feels he has made the most of his chance to shine.
The Australia international has played the last four matches - his longest run in the side since arriving in the summer of 2010 - but with Reina now recovered from a hamstring injury, he could be relegated to the bench again for Sunday's visit of Newcastle.
Jones admits he is always looking to improve but, after two clean sheets and some good saves in the Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea in midweek, he wants to keep his place.
"Everyone wants to play," he said.
"I have just tried to do as well as I can and I've been fairly happy with how things have gone.
"You can only really produce on things that happen during the game.
"I haven't had masses to do but I feel that what I have done has been fairly steady. There is always stuff I can do better.
"For me this run of games has been a good opportunity to play and show I can perform if needed in the first team.
"The chance came with Pepe getting injured and whatever the manager chooses from now on is only good because it means all of us are putting pressure on each other.
"It's down to the manager to what he sees fit."
Jones accepts it may be difficult to keep Reina, a Spain international who has made 366 appearances for Liverpool, from reclaiming his place.
But he believes the added competition has improved the depth of goalkeeping strength.
"When I came to Liverpool I knew Pepe had an unbelievable record," Jones added.
"He has played massive games in massive competitions and he's a difficult guy to get out of the way.
"We have a good, friendly rivalry, along with Peter Gulacsi as well.
"Every day in training we are trying to beat each other and stake a claim as much as we can but you only get those chances when you play."
Defender Andre Wisdom is also set for a return to the team having watched Liverpool's League Cup defence end at the hands of Rodgers' former side on Wednesday.
He too has got his chance because of injury to Jose Enrique, which forced Glen Johnson to switch to left-back, and is grateful for the faith the Reds boss has put in him.
"You're always hoping to get opportunities no matter what level," the 19-year-old told Press Association Sport.
"I think last season was a good season with the reserve team. We came second in the league and a lot of the lads did some great performances and enough to say to the manager, 'If needs be, I'd like to be given an opportunity'.
"But the club know when to give you that opportunity and they're very good at doing that."

Yes. Those were really stupid. The Sweet Home thing was awful. It's like they could only afford to pay for the rights of 5 seconds of the song, and had to loop it. Yeah, and only one guy they showed actually "got it."and did the horse dance. It was the crazy guy with the flame hair.
BA and RW are probably looking at forming a blue ribbon committee too consider kearning for the down/distance/time on the big screen. The report will probably be due right as the next ticket price hike is announced
Most people had no idea what it was... we actually played it after Verner's pick in the endzone (that ended up not counting). Some kid in blue spandex was doing the dance to it.
and at home on TV they followed the Titans game with 900 zillion hooligans attending some match - all chanting their club song in perfect unison. Something to behold.. That is what's missing from Titans home games..

A woman called
there was this bird
in her yard
couldn't flywasn't a parrot
or anything
just a regular
birdWhat is a regular bird?
The fledgling dove
all downy
and shy
big eyes staring
through those blue circles
rested quietly
in my handtail feathers askew
some missing, a small hole
me, hopeful
she could grew moreas I put her gently
in a towel nest
the mama flew
from the maple's high bower
landing on the wires
to her child?I told her she had
a beautiful baby
someone kind will help her
someone dear will love her
we hope she'll fly soonI hadn't lifted the
soft brown cloak
wings held tighty
against the small bodyhuge black crusty
like a house
burned outthat night
over Long Island Sound
a cloud
flashed white dovesI breathed a golden egg
of light around her
she died in it
next day* * *
why do you do it?
people ask me that
been asking ever since
the junior prom
I was in charge
of the gates of heaven
we set them up, of wood
among pink rosin paths
and woodchips we dyed
blueyou can't do that
my father protested
it's only a dance
Without looking at
our playroom,
I explained that heaven
is not brown tiled floors
it was messy
but we did itnow, I'm fifty
I ponder sometimes
is it true, about heaven
being blue
being up there, in the sky?it's those regular birds
making me wonder
at dawn
I hear them cooing
they pad my porch
on orange toes
brown gentleness
with black beauty markswhy drive 50 miles to save a bird?
dyeing woodchips seems more sensible
but the Talmud says if you save
one life you save the worldif it's a regular bird
she may be just the one
who sings at dawn
the joy
of rising lightthe earth and I
we need that- Sue Holloway -

The BMW manual recommends W40 oil , so I'm using a modern 20W50. Is there any issue using a modern oil since the motor does not have an oil filter. Any recommendation on cleaning the motor from oil deposits? What is the best oil to use?
The BMW manual recommends W40 oil , so I'm using a modern 20W50. Is there any issue using a modern oil since the motor does not have an oil filter. Any recommendation on cleaning the motor from oil deposits? What is the best oil to use?
Clean oil. Cleaning the slingers is a pain. Enough of a pain that most change oil quite frequently, e.g. every 1000 miles or so. I'm currently using name brand 10W-40 in my R69S. I've used name brand 20W-50 in the past. I've used synthetics, semi-synth, and even BMW branded normal oils (back when they were $4/qt). Choice most likely depended upon which was on sale when I last bought a case.What is the best oil to use?
// marc
If you thought that dreaded oil threads were unresolvable for modern bikes, you're really asking for it when you try to figure out what to do for a vintage bike.
Some people believe that you should run old fashioned, nondetergent, straight weight oil in your pre-70 bike, because, as you observe, there's no real oil filter, and therefore, detergent oil will loosen the sludge that has accumulated inside your motor and run it all into the slingers and some of it through the main bearings and conrod bearings.
Some people believe that modern, multiweight, detergent oil is better because it holds all of the dirt, combustion byproducts and cylinder wear in suspension and, when you change the oil every 1,000 miles like the manual recommends, you will get it all out of your engine.
Some also feel it's important to stay with a "motorcycle" oil, one that has the SF or SG API rating, because later ratings have less ZDDP and other antifriction agents in them (they harm catalytic converters, so they have been phased out).
Others observe, however, that heavier oil grades like 20W50 are not (necessarily) subject to this regimen because they are not subject to the API's "energy conserving" logo (pumping oil sucks up a certain amount of power via the oil pump, and thinner oil takes less than thicker oil), and anyway, any modern oil is going to be better than what was available in the 50s and 60s.
There's more, believe me.
If you want to clean the motor, then you'll need to pull it down to the bottom end. Then you can use a power washer or an ultrasonic tub on the block, and this will give you a chance to clean/replace the slingers and check the bottom end while you're at it. Depending on who you talk with, this kind of service is recommended every 30-50k miles. (Yes, I know that there are people who have put many more miles on their /2 motor without anything more than routine maintenance.)
--Darryl Richman, forum liaison
Darryl, Thanks for the detailed and objective summery. Suspending the carbon/abrasion particles and flushing with oil changes makes sense to me. Having taken apart many car engines since the early 80ÔÇÖs I know that the phenomena of clogging the engine with oil deposits has diapered with the introduction of modern oils. The change in tolerances between modern and vintage engines seem irrelevant since most bearings in the R50 are of roller or ball type ÔÇô totally different to modern engines. I wonder how requirements for ball verses sliding bearings on oils differ? Any Tribologiests in the forum to answer this specific question.
I run a good 10W40 oil in my R50/2. No problems. I feel 20W50 would be a little thick for the low volume gear pump in this machine. The "10" part helps to get the oil working faster in cool weather, too.
I did make another change. The manual calls for the same 10W40 in the transmission. I switched that to 85W90 gear oil and it works fine, too.

Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise Body Lotion Reviews
Softly Scented, Moisturizes Well
Layering fragrances is the best way to get the best wear from them, as long as powders, lotions, and soaps aren't too strong. This is a lighter version of the fragrance, just as feminine and alluring, never overwhelming. The moisture lasts long, as does the aroma. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Review subject
My very special friend gave me the lotion and the perfume all at the same time and I most sincerely love it but sadly I am out of it and I truly need it. Can I please have another one?. It is truly an awesome lotion. He loves it too but he can not find it. Can I please have it again?....thanks....Leua — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
quiet scent,supple skin
Beyond Paradise has been my favorite fragrance. I have been dubious about layering fragrance products not wanting to knock others out with what scent I enjoy but this lotion leaves all skin soft beyond belief until my next shower. The scent is not overpowering but subtle and pleasant with a dash of the perfume that I run through as my roommate at William and Mary taught me from her German descent! — 5 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Range tree
In computer science, a range tree is an ordered tree data structure to hold a list of points. It allows all points within a given range to be reported efficiently, and is typically used in two or higher dimensions. Range trees were introduced by Jon Louis Bentley in 1979.[1] Similar data structures were discovered independently by Lueker,[2] Lee and Wong,[3] and Willard.[4] The range tree is an alternative to the k-d tree. Compared to k-d trees, range trees offer faster query times of (in Big O notation) but worse storage of , where n is the number of points stored in the tree, d is the dimension of each point and k is the number of points reported by a given query.
Bernard Chazelle improved this to query time and space complexity .[5][6]
A range tree on a set of 1-dimensional points is a balanced binary search tree on those points. The points stored in the tree are stored in the leaves of the tree; each internal node stores the largest value contained in its left subtree. A range tree on a set of points in d-dimensions is a recursively defined multi-level binary search tree. Each level of the data structure is a binary search tree on one of the d-dimensions. The first level is a binary search tree on the first of the d-coordinates. Each vertex v of this tree contains an associated structure that is a (d−1)-dimensional range tree on the last (d−1)-coordinates of the points stored in the subtree of v.
A 1-dimensional range tree on a set of n points is a binary search tree, which can be constructed in O(n log n) time. Range trees in higher dimensions are constructed recursively by constructing a balanced binary search tree on the first coordinate of the points, and then, for each vertex v in this tree, constructing a (d−1)-dimensional range tree on the points contained in the subtree of v. Constructing a range tree this way would require O(n logdn) time.
This can be improved by noticing that a range tree on a set 2-dimensional points can be constructed in O(n log n) time.[7] Let S be a set of n 2-dimensional points. If S contains only one point, return a leaf containing that point. Otherwise, construct the associated structure of S, a 1-dimensional range tree on the y-coordinates of the points in S. Let xm be the median x-coordinate of the points. Let SL be the set of points with x-coordinate less than or equal to xm and let SR be the set of points with x-coordinate greater than xm. Recursively construct vL, a 2-dimensional range tree on SL, and vR, a 2-dimensional range tree on SR. Create a vertex v with left-child vL and right-child vR. If we sort the points by their y-coordinates at the start of the algorithm, and maintain this ordering when splitting the points by their x-coordinate, we can construct the associated structures of each subtree in linear time. This reduces the time to construct a 2-dimensional range tree to O(n log n), which also reduces the time to construct a d-dimensional range tree to O(n logd−1n).
Range queries[edit]
Range trees can be used to find the set of points that lie inside a given interval. To report the points that lie in the interval [x1, x2], we start by searching for x1 and x2. At some vertex in the tree, the search paths to x1 and x2 will diverge. Let vsplit be the last vertex that these two search paths have in common. Continue searching for x1 in the range tree. For every vertex v in the search path from vsplit to x1, if the value stored at v is greater than x1, report every point in the right-subtree of v. If v is a leaf, report the value stored at v if it is inside the query interval. Similarly, reporting all of the points stored in the left-subtrees of the vertices with values less than x2 along the search path from vsplit to x2, and report the leaf of this path if it lies within the query interval.
Since the range tree is a balanced binary tree, the search paths to x1 and x2 have length O(log n). Reporting all of the points stored in the subtree of a vertex can be done in linear time using any tree traversal algorithm. It follows that the time to perform a range query is O(log n + k), where k is the number of points in the query interval.
Range queries in d-dimensions are similar. Instead of reporting all of the points stored in the subtrees of the search paths, perform a (d−1)-dimensional range query on the associated structure of each subtree. Eventually, a 1-dimensional range query will be performed and the correct points will be reported. Since a d-dimensional query consists of O(log n) (d−1)-dimensional range queries, it follows that the time required to perform a d-dimensional range query is O(logdn + k), where k is the number of points in the query interval. This can be reduced to O(logd−1n + k) using the technique of fractional cascading.[2][4][7]

Reviewer: Michelle Hamilton (Beaumont / Dallas, TX) 3/2/2015
I got married on Valentine's Day in this beautiful dress and I couldn't have been happier. The dress is worth it's weight in gold! The rose/wine color is gorgeous!
Reviewer: Kathy (Waxhaw, NC) 2/15/2015
Fit like a golve
I wore this dress last night to a masquerade ball and it fit perfectly. I am 5' 8", 235 with a pear shape. I received compliments from friends and strangers on both the dress and its color (a deep red). The dress was comfortable all night, both seated and dancing. The length was perfect with kitten heels. Thanks, Kiyonna, for making "women of size" feel beautiful, too.
Reviewer: Chardonnay (, ) 1/16/2015
I am 5'11 and the length was perfect. I wore sparkly silver Tom's with the dress and it worked out beautifully.
My husband and I decided to get married January 1st of this year. We planned our small wedding in 28 days! We'll have a larger wedding when he graduates with his PhD in a few years. We've been together so long, we just wanted to make it official in front of our family in an intimate setting.
I wore this dress on our wedding day.
You have to be confident to wear this dress. It does hug around the stomach area and is tight in most places. Wear spanx and work it!
Everyone told me I looked perfect!
During our honeymoon, I was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance and hospitalized twice in the same week. I almost died! It was insane. I'm so happy I have this dress, because I think I may wear it when we take our second honeymoon, far in the future after paying off all of my medical bills!
Reviewer: roland (far-rockaway, new-york) 1/7/2015
nice and well fitted
I bought this dress in black and nude and it is so worth the money. I'm so glad I choose it for my upcoming wedding anniversary and I can't wait to wear it.
Reviewer: Carla Avila (Horizon, Tx) 12/9/2014
Mrs A
I ordered this dress in black. It arrived in 3 days and I couldn't have been happier with the fit. The cut truly complimented my curves and I received so many compliments. It's such a gorgeous dress, you will not be disappointed. It was worth every penny.

Whether it was misplaced punts, misreading plays or not protecting its quarterback, Our Lady of Lourdes High School's football team made mistakes Friday as it fell to visiting Pleasantville, 15-7.
The defeat clinched the top seed in Section 1 Class B for Pleasantville (6-1 overall) and the second seed for Lourdes (5-2).
Lourdes scored on the first drive of the game, but was the only time the Warriors would find the end zone. After a 30-yard and a 14-yard pass from Dean Rotger to Christian Keenan, Bryce Gioia rumbled over the goal line for a 2-yard touchdown, which coupled with a kick, gave ...

Really nice job on the trucks Dan, and thanks for posting.Thanks fellas for the kind comments. They all were fun for me. The dog was sent to me by a guy in Texas who got it from a guy in Germany and all at not cost. God bless modelers for helping each other. He is supposed to be Bullet from the Roy Rogers show back in the 50's. I have a figure who is supposed to be Pat Brady, the guy who drove Nellybelle. There are more pics in my photobucket on all of these trucks if you would like to see them. I had fun converting the 53 and the GMC to 4x4's. They both have the same frame and drive train in them from the Mule Skinner Chevy truck. The other 53 has the dump parts from the MPC 53 and I had to make parts of the ram from scratch in order for it to work right. Of course building Nellybelle was a real trip for me cause it was the first time that I did a lot of scratch building. The doors a brass sheet, the boxes on top of the rear fenders are made from sheet plastic and the rung is copper wire. Parts from 5 different Jeeps were used to finish her. That's about all for now. Agian, thanks for the kind words. Dan
