Recent Hampton Reviews
The family had the greatest time. Six adults and two children. Close to everything. The unit was clean with all the comforts of home with one minor exception. We would have loved a tv in the master bedroom...but that is just what we are used to. Our neighbors were very nice too!!! We can't wait to go back next year.
Hampton Beach Summer Fun
Great location! Short walk to beach,restaurants, shopping and activities. House is clean and well taken care of. We are booked for this summer again!!
My family rented one side of this house (us and my parents and my sister and her family rented the other side. It was perfect! The front entryway has doors that open it each unit so we could easily go back and forth, yet still have the privacy of separate units. It has a very nice enclosed front porch, dishwasher (woo hoo! first time ever. We have been washing dishes by hand for as long as we have been renting at Hampton) and washer and dryer (washer/dryer/ dishwasher in this unit only). It has a good sized laundry room with windows all around that overlook the back yard, with a door that opens onto the deck/steps that lead to the back yard. Fans were provided in every bedroom. Not realizing this, we had brought a few of our own. We did use one of the extras on the porch - it brought a nice breeze into the living room thru to the kitchen. There are ceiling fans in both sections of the living room. The living room is split into two sections - there is a half wall between the two rooms. There is a couch and chair in both sections. Plenty of room to spread out. The fenced backyard with picnic tables and grills was wonderful. The location is fabulous - it's on a short one way street that loops around by the church, with very little traffic. What little traffic there was went by extremely slow since the house is on the corner (not right on Church Street, farther back on the street). We saw cranes in the bog & could hear crickets at night - so peaceful! We loved, loved, loved the neighborhood / area. We were a short walk to the strip, but far enough away that we could barely hear the sirens going. Master bedroom is large with a TV & big closet. Two other bedrooms: one with a double bed, dresser and closet, the third bedroom with two twin beds and a dresser. Having two bathrooms (full bath upstairs, half bath downstairs) was very much appreciated by all, especially my father who doesn't appreciate all the time teenaged girls spend in there getting beautiful for the beach). There is only one parking space for this unit, so we parked our vehicle in a lot out behind the Casino Ballroom. It was $75 for the week to park there and they were super nice. Our car was parked inside the garage and we could come and go as we pleased 24/7. We absolutely loved it here and hope to return to this house every year for as long as we can for our annual family Hampton trip! We highly recommend!! Thanks so much Jim and Diane! Can't wait to return

The coldest weather of the winter is headed to Troup County, bringing a good chance of ice pellets, subfreezing temperatures and high winds, which will make it feel even colder.
Sunday night's forecast is for a low of 28 and an 80 percent chance of light rain changing to a wintry mix overnight. Winds should reach 15 to 25 mph.
Monday's outlook calls for partly cloudy skies and winds of 15 to 25 mph but a high of only 29.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory from midday Monday to 1 p.m. Tuesday for Troup County and other parts of central Georgia. The very cold air and strong winds can make it feel as low as 5 degrees below zero. The result could be frostbite, which can lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
The winds should ease somewhat Monday night, but the mercury is expected to plummet to near 10 in LaGrange.
Tuesday's high again will be in the upper 20s, but the skies clear and the winds diminish. Tuesday night's low is forecast for 17.

David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.
MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Crooklands at the weekend to celebrate quality local produce.
Country Fest — organised by Westmorland Agricultural Society — showcased the finest food and drink the area has to offer.
Independent food and drink producers and suppliers, who give the region its culinary reputation, tempted the senses at the County Showfield and gave visitors an insight into where their food comes from.
The family event also included a pets' corner, 'meet the farmer', sheep shearing demonstrations, music and dance, a 'grow your own' area, crafts, beer festival, trade stands and dog shows.
Sheep dog trials were a new addition this year and The Westmorland Gazette hosted a wedding fair.
Richard and Barbara Mathews, from Kendal, were impressed with the range of items on sale and stocked up on locally-produced pies.
"We have such a wide variety of food here," said Mr Mathews.
"We have got a lot of farmers who are extending what they do into other products and we like to support them."
Tommy Brady, also from Lancaster, said: "The amount of food that is available is amazing. There are umpteen different types of sausage and pies — you want to buy it all."
Christine Knipe, chief executive of Westmorland Agricultural Society, said: "The sunshine did bring people out on the Sunday and it was very busy.
"The feedback was positive."
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

The University of Virginia's Center for Politics published an article called Sabato's Crystal Ball on March 22, 2012 detailing the 8 races in the Senate in 2012 that will decide the political fate of which party will end up with control in 2013.[2] The Senate seat in Florida is the toss up state ranked second in likelihood of ending up Democratic, behind New Mexico's Senate seat.[2] Incumbent Bill Nelson's mediocre approval rating is the reasoning behind the "toss-up" classification of the Senate seat, but Nelson is expected to gain Democratic support in time for the election in 2012.[2] Nelson is also expected to face significant opposition from Connie Mack, U.S. representative from the 14th district, in the general election on November 6, 2012.[2]

RYAN VREDE looks at the trends that could shape the Dunedin Test, with the stats suggesting the Springboks will struggle.
The facet of play most lamented among Springbok supporters. Heyneke Meyer's kick-chase approach has failed to work in the manner he has envisioned and the widely held view is that the Springboks have no Plan B, or at least a very ineffective one. Flyhalf Morné Steyn has kicked the 30% of the time he has taken the ball at first receiver – this compared with the All Blacks' 16%. The Blacks' flyhalves have passed the ball nearly 68% of the time, while Steyn is down at 56% and runs the ball 13% of the time. The pace, precision and skill with which the Blacks attack has been their strength. Ominously, the Blacks have broken more tackles than they've made kicks and have broken more tackles than any team in the tournament. Furthermore, they have made the most successful offloads and clean linebreaks in the tournament, which has been central to their attacking success. The Springboks pale in comparison in these attacking disciplines.
It is critical that the Springboks boss the gainline and breakdown in a bid to slow the Blacks' recycle. Their previous showings in the latter have been poor, while their tackling was mediocre at best against Australia in Perth (it had been good before that). The inclusion of Francois Louw at openside flank is a good one, but his effectiveness rests heavily on the team's gainline punch. The Springboks average nearly 16 missed tackles per game. Their previous opponents haven't possessed the capacity to punish them in the manner the Blacks will. They simply have to cut down this figure. The Blacks miss around 11 tackles per match, but very few of those in their 22m. The platform the Springboks' heavies lay will be crucial if they are to break down this efficient unit.
In the absence of any attacking creativity or flair, the Springboks will rely heavily on their kick-chase to pressure the All Blacks into penalties and build their score in that manner. However, tellingly, the Blacks' discipline in their 22m has been exceptional, with the bulk of their indiscretions coming in the zone between their 22 and halfway line (and most of those closer to halfway). Morné Steyn's goal-kicking form has been inconsistent and from those distances his accuracy will be compromised. Frans Steyn's gun-boot may be the alternative, although he too hasn't been too accurate (3 from 8 attempts). The Blacks will want to improve on their penalty count in the opposition's 22m (24% of their total penalties have been conceded in that zone), while the Springboks are slightly better at 21%. However, they are close to 30% in the zone between the opposition's 22m and halfway. The Springboks' biggest problem has been their turnover rate in the red zone, which stands at nearly 43%. That has contributed significantly to struggles and is a facet of play they must improve exponentially to stand a chance of victory. Notably, the Blacks are far better at protecting the ball in this zone, which accounts for their superior try tally. The Springboks have also stolen painfully little (6% of their turnovers) in this area.
The Ref
George Clancy is averaging 3.5 scrum resets per game and is handing out 4.5 scrum infringements (pens and F/K). On average 79% of the time it will be conceded by the defending team. Clancy is handing out an average of 20 penalties per game with the bulk of those coming at the breakdown. On average 7.0 penalties will be inside the 22 and 7.0 penalties will become kicks at goal.

Took a long time :/ When these pants first came out i knew i wanted them. i went to the justice store and got the blue ones, and when i went home and put them on, they were waaaay too long. i have run into this problem a lot with justice because i am very big. the shirts have always been fine but not the pants. i hate having to ask my mom to hem my pants every time i buy them. sadly we just kept putting it off and it took 2 months before i got to wear them, and i had just bought all my new spring clothes and i only got to wear them once. justice has a slim option for jeans, why dont they have an option for short people. March 6, 2014
Big in the waist My six year old is somewhat tall and slim. She is 48 inches tall and weighs 42 pounds. It is difficult to find pants that are long enough but still small enough in the waist. I bought the size 6 and the length of these pants is perfect, maybe even a little long which is great for grow room and in case of shrinkage. However the waist was enormous, at least 4 inches too big. Even though it has a drawstring waistband, if we cinched them up far enough for these to stay up the waist was bunched, wadded, and gathered thickly all the way around which not only looked very silly, but was very uncomfortable for my daughter. If you have an average to bigger built child these might work for you. I expect they would stand up to regular wear and tear and were not made of thin material. December 8, 2013
love the pants! i was suggested these pants by a lady at justice. they are warm and sparkly which i love. i have been wearing this outfit to school lately as well. they are a little itchy but not that itchy that it starts to hurt me. overall, i am glad i have this outfit for the cooler weather we have been getting lately!

A Link light rail train travels northbound through south Seattle near the stadiums Friday morning. Sound Transit's plans call for extending light rail to Lynnwood by 2023.
One would go through a city park and take out a condominium complex and two small office centers containing 30 businesses. Another would displace a handful of other businesses. Each of three proposed routes would likely affect wildlife and wetlands in or near Scriber Creek Park.
"Everyone we spoke to said, 'Are you kidding? Why are these even on the table?' " said Linda Willemarck, who has lived in the targeted condominium complex for 17 years.
She helped gather 1,800 petition signatures opposing two of the three proposed routes, which are all trying to end at the Lynnwood Park and Ride lot at 20100 48th Ave. W. A route is needed to keep the regional light rail plan on track, which means providing service in Lynnwood by 2023.
Lynnwood now is pitching a fourth option, which is getting a serious look.
The Sound Transit board of directors, a collection of elected officials from Snohomish, King and Pierce counties, could choose one of the routes for further study as soon as Nov. 21.
Sound Transit proposed three routes to have options to study, said Matt Sheldon, the agency's development director for the future extension of light rail to Lynnwood.
"We have a responsibility in an environmental process to look at a broad range of alternatives," Sheldon said. "That's the whole point here, to get the information out there, let people react to it and let our board (of directors) know what they think."
The transportation agency is currently tunneling under Capitol Hill in Seattle to bring light rail from downtown Seattle to the University of Washington by 2016. Plans call for rail to then be extended to Northgate by 2021 and Lynnwood by 2023.
Voters in 2008 authorized the work under a $17 billion sales tax measure that added bus service and light rail into Bellevue and south King County.
The rail line from Northgate to Lynnwood would run mostly along the east side of I-5, with several stations along the way. The total cost of the 8.5-mile line is estimated at $1.2 billion to $1.7 billion.
In Lynnwood, whichever line is chosen would be elevated between I-5 and the park-and-ride.
The route through the park, condos and business park would be the most costly of Sound Transit's three proposals, at $300 million to $350 million.
This route would leave I-5 at 52nd Avenue W. and run up the east side of 52nd and Cedar Valley Road, skirting several businesses. It would then swing east across Scriber Creek Park and turn along the south side of 200th Street SW, through what is now the 77-unit Cedar Creek condominium complex and the two small business centers. A station would be built along 200th, at the north end of the current park-and-ride.
The second choice also would go up 52nd but would cut east sooner, directly through a small business park of four buildings, skirting a trail along the south side of the park. A station would be built just south of the current bus bays at the park-and-ride. The cost of this segment is pegged at $270 million to $310 million.
Sound Transit's third option would hug I-5 through a wetland area along the freeway. This would be the most direct route to the park-and-ride. It also, however, could interfere with maintenance or expansion of a city sewage pump station and would require a train platform to be built at the south end of the park-and-ride, at the opposite end of the large lot from the current bus bays.
Whichever option is built also requires 800 feet of elevated "tail track" beyond the platform to allow plenty for room for the trains. This proposed route would run across 44th Avenue W. and displace businesses in a mini-mall across the busy thoroughfare.
The cost of this route is ballparked at $270 million to $340 million.
The first and second proposed routes were lambasted by the public at meetings in August. In addition to people from the condominiums and businesses, others who live in a neighborhood on the west side of 52nd Avenue W. said they were worried about noise and other drawbacks.
Lynnwood's city-proposed option would bypass the pump station and enable a train platform to be built relatively near the current bus bays.
It also would miss businesses and condos along 52nd and 200th, though the tail track for this choice could affect businesses east of the park-and-ride lot, according to one sketch.
The Lynnwood City Council unanimously endorsed that choice on Sept. 23. There's no cost estimate yet for that alternative.
Each of the choices would have some effect on wetlands, though from that perspective, the fourth choice would likely be the best alternative, said Jared Bond, environmental and surface water supervisor for the city of Lynnwood.
Adding concrete in Scriber Creek Park could exacerbate wintertime flooding problems at the nearby intersection, he said.
Sheldon said in any situation where a wetland or creek is involved, the rail columns would be placed for the least possible effect. Any wetland area that's compromised would have to be replaced, he said.
Mike Mayes is the owner of Mayes Testing Engineers, on Cedar Valley Road just down the road from Scriber Creek Park.
Sound Transit's first option would run trains "right through my parking lot and be about 20 feet from my front door," he said. It "just wipes out so much stuff. It will turn the area into an industrial graffiti junkyard."
Katherine Dovinh, a State Farm insurance agent, has leased an office in the Bentley Office Centre on 200th for 18 years.
"I like the community, I like the small office," she said. "It costs money to move, I don't want to move. But my main concern is for the people who live in the condos and apartments who would have to pull up and move."
Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling is one of three Snohomish County members of the 18-member Sound Transit board of directors.
Earling said he and the other two members from Snohomish County -- Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick -- have had some conversations about the city's alternative.
"It doesn't mean we'll stop looking at the others, but it has some appeal," he said.
Many of those who oppose Sound Transit's first two proposed routes agree that Lynnwood's proposal would be a better choice.
"I love that alternative. It seems to solve everyone's problems," Mayes said.
After the board picks a route, a full environmental impact study will be done, through the other alternatives will stay on the table during the study, said Sheldon of Sound Transit. He expects that study to be done by early 2015, and the public will again have a chance to weigh in. The board could settle on a permanent option by mid-2015, he said.
Sound Transit also is considering building a $250 million storage yard for light-rail trains near the park-and-ride, near where the rail line would run. The agency is looking at three sites in Bellevue, too.
The Edmonds School District owns most of the property being studied and plans to use the land for a new administration building and bus barn.

Please explain RAID to me
My photo and video library has grown beyond the capacity of my internal HDD and I want to move away from my convoluted system of multiple Aperture libraries. Instead, I want to have 1 Pro library and 1 Personal library, with the Aperture libraries sitting in my iMac's 1TB internal drive and all of the masters residing in an external.
I'm new to RAID and have only begun to understand how it works. I'm hoping a kind and knowledgeable fellow MacRumors member will help me choose the best solution for my setup.
I've come across the LaCie 6TB 2big Thunderbolt Series RAID Hard Drive which appears to do what I need.
1 - I want to have both internal drives mirror each other 100% so I always have 2 exact copies on site.
2 - I need a 3rd HDD that I will keep off site in my bank's safety deposit box.
I think the first part will be straightforward. Set up RAID 1 and put my files on the drive and both HDDs will mirror each other. Am I correct so far?
Now the second part, I'm not sure how this will work. Can I swap out a drive every week with the one held off site? Will RAID see the differences and go to work on matching the data or do I have to format the offsite drive, and then set it up to copy one of the on site drives? Because I'm going to be doing this pretty regularly, I don't want the mess and confusion of having to set this up every week.
I know the DROBO might do what I need, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to spend $1K on just the device without any HDDs inside. How is the DROBO different than a traditional RAID?

Not sure....
if I fully understand you, but to me, first part of the setup is straightforward and seems to me you had figured how to proceed. Second part is somewhat tricky to me. But I would do the following, cumbersome as is: Clone one of the copies to the third hard drive, and mantain it off site.
And about RAID:
maybe it is helpful

Yeah, all the different types of RAID are confusing the heck out of me.
Your system might work. 2 HDDs in the LaCie and then make a simple clone every week on to the offsite drive.
The only issues with this setup are that I have to go to the bank twice (pick up drive, clone, bring it back to the bank) and at some point every week, I have all my backup copies in the same place at the same time.
To prevent that, I wanted to be able to simply swap out one of the local drives, go to the bank, drop off that local drive and pick up the offsite drive, go home and plug that one in which would become the new second local drive until next week when I swapped it again with the offsite drive.
I'm trying to be clear but this is inherently complex.

OP needs remote backup. RAID is not a backup but is meant for quick recovery of a dead HDD.
I'd suggest looking into remote storage, Amazon S3, DropBox, SkyDrive, there are plenty out there.
If you want to DIY get a NAS and look into r-sync (remote sync to another NAS) or plunk a HDD dock (USB or e-SATA) on the NAS, let it run nightly or weekly backups and take that backup offsite. Two or three portable HDDs and a NAS your data should be dandy. Nice thing about the NAS is it'll do the backups unattended while your computer is off or doing other things.
Summary the NAS is a backup of your Macs HDD data (Time Machine can do this) and the portable drive is a backup of your NAS's Time Machine image.
Edit: note you're from Toronto, Me too I'd be happy to help you set up if you need assistance.
|Feb 5, 2013, 10:29 PM
Keep in mind that my iMac has a 1TB Fusion Drive. It's not enough for my library so I need the masters to be on an external drive. Does Time Machine back up external drives? I don't believe it does, or didnt when Time Machine was launched.
My lingering question is that: if I remove one of the drives from the RAID, will popping in a new drive then automatically mirror the remaining HDD?

Only RAID 1 (mirroring) does each drive have a full copy. Again this is not a backup as deleting a file will delete it on both drives. HDDs in any other configuration only contain partial data and would be useless by itself. Rebuilding the array will be time consuming.
IMHO avoid a RAID, you don't need it.
FYI Mountain Lion supports multiple TM backups in a round robin fashion.
I'll try to give you some suggestions tomorrow that should work well.
PS can you estimate how much new data you'd use in a month, an online backup solution might be perfect for you if you have the bandwidth.

Here's a well written explanation.
|Feb 6, 2013, 12:35 AM
I personally would never make a plan that involves swapping the RAID drives in and out. Leave them in, let them do their thing.
If the multiple bank trips are that big an issue simply add a fourth drive to the rotation. Leave the 2 in the RAID all the time, one clone at the bank and a second clone at the house. Simply swap the two clones each week.

Three drives.
Drive one contains the original files.
Drive two contains copy 1. At night an automated task copies new files from drive 1 to drive 2.
Drive three is kept off site and is periodically swapped with drive 2.
Sorry I'm not up on Mac archiving any more. I'll take a look around and see if I can flesh out the details.
|Feb 6, 2013, 01:54 AM
If I understand correctly, you want to use a RAID as a backup. Don't, a RAID is not a backup! Your backup procedure can actually destroy all of your data for reasons I will explain below. Also, it will not save all of your data, all of your edits are contained in your Aperture library and not on the masters (the RAW files). The purpose of a RAID1 is to allow you to continue working after one drive fails. It is not intended to be a backup solution. Of course, you can make backups onto RAID volumes. However, using two separate external drives is more safe than using a RAID1 enclosure.
I would suggest a different solution: get three external drives, one of them Thunderbolt, two of them don't need to be Thunderbolt drives. If you have a recent iMac, go for USB3 drives which are almost as fast, but a lot cheaper. Also get a Crashplan subscription (unlimited single computer has cost me $50/year). Put the external library on the fast and big Thunderbolt drive. Then use the two other drives as a Time Machine backup (10.8 can automatically deal with more than 1 Time Machine backup drive).
The DROBO is a different kind of animal, it gives you RAID-like protection, but just like any RAID (with the exception of RAID0 which does not give you redundancy), it is slower than a single hard drive in some respects. The advantage of the Drobo is that offers much, much more storage capacity than a two-harddrive solution. If you need more than 4 TB/volume of storage in the near future, a Drobo is an option. Otherwise, it is cheaper to stick with other solutions.
Now to why your idea is really, really bad: first of all, you put enormous strain on your drives. Probably what you will end up doing is remove only one of the drives (say the one in drive bay 2). This means every time you insert the other backup drive in bay 2 you rebuild your RAID. The drive in bay 1 has to go through all the data again, all up to 3 TB of it. The wear you put on drive 1 will increase the likelihood of failure for drive 1 substantially. But you also increase the wear of all drives. Most failures are silent. That means once the drive in bay 1 becomes unreliable, it will clone all errors to your two other drives, causing the data loss you sought to prevent. Cycling through the drives is also not an option, because it introduces another silent failure: if you remove your »good« drive 1 before all data could be mirrored to the other drive, the data on your drive 3 is replaced with the incomplete data on drive 2.
This is not an academic exercise, I've read an article where one company was using this exact procedure for their »backups«. They changed the drives daily and ran into problems when rebuilding the RAID1 started to take longer than 24 hours
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
|Feb 6, 2013, 12:17 PM
Thanks for the advice and clarifications so far. I now understand why I can't use RAID for a swappable backup. However, I like it for hardware failure protection. I've had an HDD fail on me with just a tap on the desk and I lost about a week's worth of photos.
A combination of Flash SWT and OreoCookie's plans seem right.
So this is what I'm considering:
iMac 1TB FusionDrive: Aperture Library
Time Capsule 3TB: Backups iMac including Aperture Library
CrashPlan for offsite iMac backup
A RAID of 2x3TB: Aperture Masters
Offsite A + Offsite B: Masters backup. One of these 2 drives sits daisy chained to the RAID. Time Machine or Aperture Vault updates changes. The other sits in the bank. I rotate every week.
Over kill maybe?
Q: How much will a RAID slow down my system? It's just for the masters, not the working Aperture library. I'll get a Thunderbolt RAID enclosure.
Q: If one of the RAID drives fail mechanically, will that corrupt its twin in any way?
Q: Can Aperture Vault backup referenced masters? I know it didn't when Aperture 1 was released. I'd rather use the built in Vault than Time Machine.
Q: Any suggestions on an HDD dock and HDDs for the Offsite drives? Which is better for the backups, slower drives or fast ones? Any particular brand that is resistant to being frequently mobile?

Your new plans sounds good. I don't think it's overkill, you'll sleep much better at night. My backup plan is not all that different. I have two primary backup drives, one is located at home, the other in my office. In addition to Crashplan, I also store my recent work documents on my Dropbox (although that's mostly text and pdf files, so they don't take up much space). I don't fear OS X updates and the likes or that someone breaks into my apartment and steals my computer and my backup drives.

Just a quick post to say THANK YOU to all who've answered and offered advice to this question, esp. OreoCookie +1k to ya
PS: What really gets me is that this is not that unique of a question, there are many many thousands of people with similar needs,,, amazing that there is no "best" option that is already an "off-the-shelf" solution that is also not highway robbery

I purchased the LaCie 2Big 6TB. I consulted with an Apple Genius and it appears that my original intent seems to be the way to go:
1 - Aperture library kept small (no masters) on the iMac's internal Fusion Drive
2 - Masters kept on the LaCie in RAID 1.
3 - Rotate 3 HDDs inside the LaCie and off site. 2 kept on site mirroring eachother in RAID 1 and another kept off site. Every week or so, bring a drive home and swap it out with one of the drives in the LaCie.
...though there is stlll a lingering question:
Q: Will the LaCie need to reformat the new drive and copy everything over again or will it simply fill in the differences since it was last plugged in? The Apple Genius thinks that it varies by drive manufacturer but that the LaCie appears to be hot swappable.
LaCie even sells drives with the bracket that seems to be for this very purpose.
If it needs to rebuild the entire RAID every time, then this will put too much of a burden on the drives that need to be read and re-written every time they're swapped. If the incoming drive only needs to be updated, then this is not much more than if it were in the bay the whole time and is a viable solution.

I replied in another thread, but IMHO your proposed strategy above is very high risk. For instance how are you going to recover from an enclosure failure? How are you going to recover from accidently deleting a folder of images?

I'll throw my 2-cents worth into this thread
The only RAID array worth using for a home user or enthusiast is RAID0 for the performance and volume increase benefits. All other forms of RAID are designed to provide business continuity in the event of a drive failure. That's right... Business Continuity. How much money do you stand to lose while you run to your local computer store to buy a new drive (or wait for UPS to deliver one)? This is your business case for RAID 1, 10, 01, 5, 6, etc.
A home user's most likely causes of data loss are probably (in this order)... User error, data corruption caused by application/OS bugs, theft of computer/storage system (or act of god), and then maybe drive failure. Only an offsite backup will protect you properly from all of these.
The first thing most home users (and businesses) should figure out, is not what RAID array to run in on their NAS, but where they are going to keep their offsite backup, and how often they are going to update it.

For back up I recommends doing muliple things
(1) Buy a second larger RAID system and use this with Time Machine and keep it connected to the computer full time. It will protect from data corruption and so on and keep old versions of your files. This RAID needs to be quite large.
(2) A third RAID system that you keep in a different building, as far away as possible. Every so often you swap this with the #2 system above.
Yes this is expensive. But it is the absolute minimum. What did it cost you to shoot all those images and what are they worth to you. Seriously it might be they are worth almost zero, shots for clients you will never see again, 10 year old weddings and what not. If so then trash it all.
But on the other hand if these are photos with current comercial value what are they worth? $50K? If so maybe it is worth spending 5K to back them up. If your data is not worn $50K how in the world have you been paying the rent?
The bottom line is (If you care about the data, big IF there) then you must always, at all times, (even while making a backup) have three copies of the data and one of those copies must be off site. That is the bare minimum
With only three copies the only way to do this is to (in this order) drive one backup copy to the off site place, that the old one back home. NEVER bring the off site home so all three are all in the same building.
Also with only three copies you MUST use an incremental backup so that you never overwrite old data or there will be a time when you don't have three copies
With four copies you have more flexibility.
About RAIDS. Google "FreeNAS". It is a built-it yourself RAID system. Get a decent mid-range dual core computer and a stack of Western Digital "RED" disks and 16GB of RAM and make a storage server.

Did you know that MyPyramid is out and MyPlate is in? I love this new graphic that was adopted by the USDA last June. Dietitians have been advocating this way of eating for a long time and consumers tend to find it easier to understand. I mean, we typically eat off of plates not pyramids, right?
The Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) is on board with MyPlate as well. This March, in honor of National Nutrition Month, the Academy's theme is "Get Your Plate in Shape".
Here are a few tips for shaping up your plate:
- First of all, the size of your plate does matter and this is one instance where bigger is not necessarily better. Think "plate" not "platter" and aim for a 9" diameter.
- Make half of your plate colorful fruits and/or vegetables. Plan to vary your fruits and vegetables so that you get a rainbow of color over your week or month, which then provides you with a range of different phytochemicals (beneficial plant chemicals).

Alexander Dovzhenko - Zvenigora (1928) - DVD
For centuries invaders have coveted the treasures of Ukraine. And for centuries they have been guarded by Grandfather (Nikolai Nademsky - Earth). This mysterious treasure remains hidden at Mount Zvenigora eluding the often violent search conducted by Poles, Cossacks and Germans in the course of centuries. In the turbulent years of the twentieth century, the treasure is sought by his descendants in the hope of recovering a past in danger of being lost. A "cinematographic poem", Zvenigora moves from past to present, combining reality with fantasy. It conveys the spirit of Ukrainian history, its transition from a rural, agricultural society to the modern world of industrialization and its discontents.
Zvenigora was immediately recognized as a masterpiece by Sergei Eisenstein and V. I. Pudovkin. The most sensual and poetic of Soviet masters, Alexander Dovzhenko'sunconventional vision and experimental style remained rooted in his love for his native Ukraine; its culture and its people. Zvenigora, his first major film, is also his most joyous work.
This is intellectually Marxist, and yet montage is an incredibly exciting form of filmmaking. Now used by advertisers and Hollywood blockbusters, in the hands of Soviet filmmakers it was a revolutionary cinematic experience -- Socialist Review
As the lights went on, we felt that we had just witnessed a memorable event in the development of cinema -- Sergei Eisenstein

Resident Evil 6 Walkthrough (Leon) | How to beat Mutated Derek Simmons
Resident Evil 6 features three distinct co-op campaigns, following the paths of Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Jake Muller as they attempt to stop the spread of the deadly c-virus. Thankfully, GameZone is here to provide a full Resident Evil 6 walkthrough, helping you find all the game's secrets, and learn how to beat every boss!
Resident Evil 6 Walkthrough | Leon's Campaign
Boss Guide: Mutated Derek Simmons
This is a fairly annoying fight, simply because it drags on for so long. Your best path to victory is to guide Derek over to the red explosive barrels around the arena, then fire at them. The explosion will cause Derek to revert back to his normal form, but don't waste your bullets! Run up and melee him, then punch his face in with some QTE.
After doing this twice or so, a Humvee will burst into the room with two guns on the rear. While shooting, aim for the giant eyeball in the monster's head. After a few direct hits, you'll be thrown off and allowed to resume the boring explosive barrel hunt.
If you run out of barrels, its time to resort to explosive charges. If you don't have any of these bombs, then try your best to aim for that giant eyeball, though keep your distance so you don't get eaten. A few more hits and you should be done with this form of Derek Simmons, though you can be sure that he'll return!

My good friend Tim Pinnick has made a special request for me to give a little more detail on NGS this year in Raleigh. Tim's specialty is black coal miners, but he lectures and writes on a wide variety of African-American historical topics and is one of the most lively and gracious individuals you'll ever meet. He's got loads of information on his website, so please check it out if you haven't already.
So thanks Tim for that reminder. My godmother Carole and I drove down to the conference on Tuesday and the weather could not have been more perfect—the drive was relaxing and restful. There was an African-American panel session that was scheduled for that Tuesday that was advertised as having Dorothy Spruill (who wrote the groundbreaking Somerset Homecoming) and Henry Louis Gates. It was disappointing that at some point they changed the program and neither individual came. I did hear that Dr. Barnetta McGhee White's presentation was wonderful.
I will say I was dismayed that there were not many classes focused specifically on African-American topics. In comparison to the Federation of Genealogical Society's (FGS) conference over the past few years, FGS was far more responsive to the special requirements of African-American research. In fact, at NGS there weren't many classes relevant to any minorities. There was one excellent seminar on African-American research by Reggie Washington from the National Archives, but that was it. There were also classes on:
- Plantation Papers at the North Carolina State Archives
- Melungeons
- Indian Ancestry
- Mid South African-American AG Professionals
That's four classes and one seminar out of nearly 100 sessions! I think NGS can do better than that. I'm not sure how many of us submitted papers to present, but if that was the issue, then we need to step up the plate. I certainly think this illustrates why the upcoming International Black Genealogy Summit in Fort Wayne in October is so important and so desperately needed. This will be the first major genealogical conference that brings together African-American genealogy organizations from around the country. It will be held October 29-31, 2009 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Nevertheless, there were plenty of good lectures and great teachers at NGS. The classes were insightful and instructive. Needless to say I came away with lots of new methodologies and research to try. Much of it was reinforcement of things I haven't paid enough attention to. Don't you constantly feel that there are just not enough hours in the day? Dr. Thomas Jones and Elizabeth Shown Mills continue to be at the top of their respective games and I attended several classes by them both. I get exhausted just listening to the level of detail and meticulous nature of their research! It shows me just how much more I have to do. One of the things I'd like to point out about their lecture handouts is that they always give reference lists of journal articles to reinforce the lessons they teach—I often get copies of these articles and have found them particularly helpful. Other standout classes for me this year were several sessions on court records, one on using topographic maps, the new Rootsmagic 4.0 genealogy software , and a terrific lecture on what exactly is considered reasonably exhaustive research.
A few more points: I would be remiss if I left out that one of the highlights of the conference was the Exhibit Hall. They had so many interesting exhibiters and books, books and more books! A few I'll highlight:
- Historic Stagville—a project to uncover in part the descendants of the 900 enslaved individuals that belonged to the richest antebellum family in North Carolina, the Bennehan-Cameron family. This was a fascinating organization, doing important work—check out their website.
- Caswell County Historical Association–rarely do I see the average genealogical or historical society undertaking the type of slavery project they are here–they purchased and are spending thousands to restore and digitize a critical slave ledger for Caswell County. It consists of 148 pages of recorded tobacco and slave trading information from 1837-1845. I don't think there is information about the ledger on their website, but if you are interested, I'm sure you could contact them. They had the ledger out on their display table.
- Genlighten-this new company aims to hook up people who need copies of documents with people who can get the documents. It's not a new idea, but the way they have it set up, I think it'd be nice for some side income.
We researched at the North Carolina State Archives a few days, and the Archives staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. There is a free shuttle that runs all day long downtown, so we just hopped on the shuttle in front of the conference center and got off a few blocks down at the Archives. You can also purchase copies of lectures from the conference if you didn't make it-I'm a big fan of doing this and there were long lines of folks buying.
I had the odd experience in Raleigh that was a fire at my hotel one morning, prompting everyone to have to evacuate before 9am. Luckily, it wasn't anything serious, but as I had just gotten out of the shower, I have never gotten dressed so fast in my life!
Overall, the conference was a good experience. One of the benefits of attending conferences is all the sidebar conversations you get to have with lecturers (thanks to J. Mark Lowe for all those tips on Tennessee!) and the people you get to meet while having lunch, waiting for lectures, etc. etc. I met two wonderful women from the AAHGS chapter in New York and we hung out a few days. Now I've got two more hopefully lifelong "genealogy friends" to add to my roster of support and encouragement.
Whew, that was a long one. Well Tim was that enough detail? LOL
