If you thought Petra Nemcova and James Blunt was a weird match, then the thought of the former Victoria's Secret model getting it on with Russell Simmons will probably make your head explode. I've only just finished cleaning up the little bits of brain off my keyboard.
According to The New York Daily News, Petra Nemcova and the founder of Def Jam Records, Mr. Phat Farm himself, brother of Run (from Run DMC), Russell Simmons, were spotted not once, but twice, attending public events together.
Looks like Petra Nemcova is over the musical stylings of James Blunt. We mentioned last Thursday that the model was spotted with hip-hopper Russell Simmons at a CD party for John Legend – and Simmons assured us they're "just friends." Maybe so, but these friends danced the night away at the JoonBug Masquerade Ball Tuesday and made an early exit from Capitale hand in hand, says our spy.
So, it's officially official. Petra Nemcova has some really weird taste in men. If it's not a wussy ballad singer, it's a hip-hop mogul with a lisp. Sure, he's got money. Lots and lots of money, but so does Petra. I mean, you'd think she'd go for some pretty boy type, instead of looking past all that superficial stuff, and actually liking someone for their personality. Tramp.
Now, because I don't have anymore pictures of Petra Nemcova with Russell Simmons, and because those pictures would be really, really boring, here's some super sexy pictures of Petra Nemcova from Red Book. Lots more after the jump.

Vancouver, Canada
My Rating
Easy and problem free booking. Easy to find Vancouver harbor location. Easy to add visit to Butchart Gardens at harbor terminal. Ride on Seaplane to Victoria was smooth and provided fantastic views. Bus service from Victoria to Butchart Gardens and then to the ferry boat for the trip back to Vancouver and to your Vancoucer hotel was carefree. Great Job Viator!

Anti-Gun Educrats Gone Wild
An essential item on liberals' agenda is to condition the next generation to regard firearms in the hands of private citizens with hysterical horror. Consequently, the insanity (e.g., see here and here and here and here and here and here and here) continues.
Daniel McClaine Jr., a freshman at Poston Butte High School, said he saved the picture as his desktop background on his school-issued computer.
A teacher noticed it and turned him in.
The picture shows an AK-47 on top of a flag.
McClaine said the school initially suspended him for three days Friday.
Since the laptop belongs to the school, the district policy states students are prohibited from "sending or displaying offensive messages or pictures," and cannot access, send, create or forward pictures that are considered "harassing, threatening, or illegal." …
McClaine said the gun is not his. He's interested in joining the military and said he found it on the internet.
It's nice to see teachers are instilling respect for the First as well as the Second Amendment.
In Loveland, Colorado (as mentioned earlier):
A 2nd grader has been suspended from school in Loveland for a make believe game he was playing.
The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. … He was playing a game during recess at Loveland's Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside.
"I pretended the box, there's something shaking in it, and I go 'pshhh.'"
The boy didn't throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. "So nothing can get out and destroy the world."
But his imaginary play broke the school's real rules. The school lists "absolutes" designed to keep a safe environment. The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary.
Alex will be rescuing the world at home until the kerfuffle is "worked out." If only imaginary grenades could rescue it from absolutist moonbats.
A 10-year-old Alexandria boy was arrested after police said he brought a toy handgun to school on Tuesday, a day after he showed it to others on a school bus.
The boy, a fifth-grader at Douglas MacArthur Elementary School whose name is not being released, was charged as a juvenile with brandishing a weapon, police said.
He was also suspended from school, and Alexandria City Public Schools Superintendent Morton Sherman said further action is being considered, including expulsion.
The kid did not even point the toy at anyone or threaten to open fire with it. Its orange tip should have clued in even the most obtuse apparatchik that it was not real.
The lunatic authorities actually transported him to a juvenile detention center after the toy was discovered in his backpack.
The irony of this occurring at a school named after a general who directed American soldiers in combat against authoritarians was no doubt lost on the idiots responsible for traumatizing the child.
On tips from Wiggins, wingmann, Sean C, and Muddypaw. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

If the Bs make the play offs and make a decent run then all the Lucic trash talk will disappear. Otherwise he could very well be traded.
Posted 03/29/2015 05:30:12 EDT
Option 3 for me.
Posted 03/27/2015 12:11:16 EDT
Nope. PC has screwed this team over. Royally.
Posted 03/23/2015 03:37:00 EDT
As always for the Bs its a case of hope for the best but expect the worst. That being said I'm not sure squeaking into the play offs is the answer as they're likely just to get destroyed in the first more »
Posted 02/21/2015 06:12:46 EST
PC, or Claude for that matter, should go if the Bs fail to make the play offs. I'd also deal Lucic, Smith, Marchand and Krug who have all been playing like that just don't give a d*mn.
Posted 02/21/2015 06:01:09 EST
Even with the deficiencies in the roster thanks to PC's 'deals' and injuries this team is playing way below expectations and WAY below their talent level. And its been going on and on. I'm looking for more »
Posted 02/17/2015 03:17:10 EST
No way around it, Bs are going to have to trade a player or two with a big overgenerous contract if there is to be cap space for a rebuild.
Posted 02/17/2015 03:05:14 EST
Good points about PC. What can he do now? No matter how the Bruins got into this situation there is no magic solution out of it. Will require many positive tweaks here and there before they're back on more »
Posted 02/14/2015 04:37:34 EST
At present the Bs are light years away from winning another cup. Stop drinking the coolaid everyone.
Posted 02/14/2015 04:35:02 EST
Posted 02/08/2015 05:19:13 EST
Once Lucic racks up a few points I'm expecting confrontations Wensink style.
Posted 02/08/2015 05:17:35 EST
Yeah. And I remember back in 11 getting all excited about apparent Kaberle 'steal' and his smooth passing on the Bs blueline.
Is it any wonder I don't post here more frequently?
Posted 02/08/2015 05:12:04 EST
Don't go Stanley. Because if you stay you give my rare sporatic posts a legitimacy they otherwise wouldn't have.
Posted 02/08/2015 11:43:07 EST
Don't forget Markov in the cranking. Lucic still owes him.
Posted 02/06/2015 04:46:10 EST
Pray the Bruins never trade for Kane. The guy's toxic.
Posted 01/14/2015 02:55:15 EST
The boy has to stay. Not unless PC/CJ want a wholesale fan revolt.
Posted 01/06/2015 03:04:09 EST
I love the way Lucic plays and I love his passion. I hope he stays. But 6 goals in 40 games is just a joke. Or looking at it in another way, that's $500,000 per goal for the first half of the season.
Posted 01/05/2015 02:31:36 EST
Regardless of how many goals the Bs are losing by they are still losing and out of a playoff place. There won't be much of an improvement over the season with the players they have now but neither wil more »
Posted 01/05/2015 02:15:00 EST
Lucic should have a month in Providence.
Posted 01/05/2015 02:13:36 EST
A trade for Matt Fraser might do the trick. Two goals in his last 4 games.
Posted 01/04/2015 04:14:53 EST
The denial here is just staggering. This team has just given up and I guess as long as people are paying top dollar for seats and the players are getting their cash nothing will change. Be interesting more »
Posted 01/03/2015 06:19:38 EST
Happy to send Bergeron and Lucic down to Providence for a week to shake them up. Aw heck, make it two weeks. Don't know what's going on with Bergeron but he deserves more criticism than he's been gett more »

Any predictions on the play offs? Are we looking at a repeat of 1997?

Not sure who will go first. CJ or PC ? Given how the #FireChiarelli (hashtag) is gaining momentum it could be him.

New Surgery Stops Parkinson's Cell Loss
U.S. scientists say they've discovered deep brain stimulation, a surgical procedure used in Parkinson's disease, halts dopamine-cell loss in animal models.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati's Neuroscience Institute posit the act of stimulating neurons with electrodes boosted the amount of an important protein in animals' brains. The protein, a trophic factor known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, is a nurturing, growth-promoting chemical.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder involving the death of dopamine-producing brain cells, or neurons.
"Demonstrating that deep brain stimulation halts the progression of dopamine-cell loss was basically a confirmation and extension of previous findings," said Associate Professor Caryl Sortwell, the study's lead investigator. "But finding the mechanism is a novel discovery that is even more critical. We now know not only that it works, we also are beginning to understand how it is working."
She said the findings hold important implications for patients with Parkinson's disease and could alter the current recommended timetable for surgical intervention.
Sortwell reported the study during a recent conference by the Cleveland Clinic and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Important AND Big news today
First the most important news, to me anyway, Leanne has arrived so we can now share the next 8 weeks of this adventure together.
And now the big news. This is where I spent 5 hours this afternoon
There were three different options from; riding on the road (they had the full range of bikes to choose from), track experience or off road coaching and riding.
So I still can't believe that I ended up astride a BMW 1000 weapon heading down pit straight! What a scary, exciting time. These bikes are so fast, their brakes are so good I think my eyeballs hit my visor when I first applied them. As my friends from home will confirm I am no road rider. If I was meant to find any apexes on the track, well I would still be out there looking. Anyway enough, here is the proof (check out the other bikes that were available)
And if anyone who was there today is reading this, no I wasn't swerving to warm the tires up as I left pit lane - that was my customary wobble....
Here is the off road school, this is Carlos on a brand new GS taking his group through the basics, man could he ride that well. We are staying with Carlos and Catarina in Lisbon, awesome couple.
These are some of the bikes available for the road ride.
Various suppliers also had stall including Touratech, BMW apparel etc.
BMW did it so well, right from the check in procedures, the free lunch / juice / coffee etc, the bike options and even to when we were leaving the bike wash people turned up to groom all of the bikes for tomorrow.
And finally some eye candy from my lunch stop in Estoril
Isn't that just gorgeous.

Fed's Decline or Competition's Rise?
I have heard many declaim the declining footspeed and skills of Monsieur Federer in these, his waning years. Certainly his record is not so dominant in the last three years, as it was 2004-2009.
Alternatively, could the truth be that his competition has simply gotten better with the maturation and improvement of Djokovic and Murray. Now it seems that he has three good players he must consider. (This does nothing to explain a loss to Stakhovsky.)
Maybe the reality is a combination of both. Tennis seems to even more be a "young man's game." Not only is Fed getting older, but also his competition has gotten better. If this is indeed the case, I do wonder where on a chronological graph the two curves intersect?
(Yes, I know he is not a former player, . . . yet. But I do prefer the more informed and reflective level of discourse over here, versus the bile and knee-jerkisms in the General Pro Player forum. Sorry.)
Federer would still be winning 2 slams a year in this era if he was in his prime, he's better than these guys on the fasters surfaces. The top guys in this era are more consistant, also Murray and Djokovic since 2011 are very good players. Nadal and Federer are declining, 2011-2012 are the only years strong than 2004-2005 IMO. Although Tsonga and co are worse than the second tier players of Federer's era e.g. Nalbandian, Davydenko.
Success is not a strong indicator of players prime/peak for the very best, because they have success even out of their prime/peak. for exemple, Nadal had a 80% winning percentage of clay in 2005, and won 40% of his HC master 1000 titles this years. Yet, the common sense tell us that 2005 was not one of his peak year off-clay: He wasn't fully developped on HC and grass at the moment.
Now, on regard of Fed declining, or his opponents level rising? I thing it is safe to say that it is unlikely that the whole field level rised at the same time. It is much more likely that only 2-3 players rose their level, thus making the opposition harder at the top. This theory fit the common sense, who says that Nadal, Djokovic and Murray transformed a weak era into a though era.
We can thus make two hypothesis.
1) If Federer's level have not declined, he should meet the same amount of success against the others players, i.e. maintain the same winning percentage.
2) If Federer's winning percentage has droped, the change should be imputable to the new top players, not to the common journeyman. If the winning percentage diminution comes from the common journeyman, it is likely that either Federer's level has declined, or the common journeyman' level has increased. Which is unlikely.
Krosero showed that his winning percentage went down as soon as 2007, and later further down. Was it at the hands of Djokovic, the new challenger, or Nadal?
Have a look at his record against Djokovic:
In 2007, Djokovic defeated Fed only once: in Toronto.
In 2008, he beated him again only once, but this time in AO.
in 2009, he beated him twice, in Miami and Rome. A feat that has been accomplished by none other than Roddick, Gasquet, Gulbis, Berdych.
In 2010, he beated Fed once, in the USO SF, 9 month after the AO titles.
That 5 loss to the hand of Djokovic in 4 years: I don't think that these loss explain the diminution of Fed's winning percentage.
And a look at his "record" against Nadal:
From 2005-2007, he lost to Nadal eight time.
From 2008-2010, he lost six time.
Here again, it is not the rise of Nadal which is responsible for his poorer winning percentage, as the amount of lost is constent. His loss against Nadal cannot be used to assess Fed'prim/peak because he was losing against him since the beginning. The only difference is that Nadal was able to go further in non-clay slam, and administer to Fed his usual treatment.
So what is certain is that Fed had a winning percentage over 90% from 2004-2006, and around 80% since 2007, and that this diminution is hardly the responsibility of Nadal or Djokovic. We must conclude that he was vulnerable to a range of second tier players he used to own before, and that is a good indication of decline.
As a reminder, Fed lost only against Nadal, Safin, Nalbandian, Gasquet and Murray between 2005-2006.
In 2007 he turned 26 years old (one step of decline according to Falstaff) and his winning percentage declined of one step. In 2007, he registered loss to Gonzales, Canas, Volandri, Nalbandian. In 2008, he had loss against Fish, Roddick, Stepanek, Simon, Blake, Karlovic. In 2009 he lost to Wawrinka, Tsonga, Benneteau, Del Potro. In 2010 to Baghdatis, Gulbis, Berdych, Soderling, Monfils, etc.
So either all this players reached a higher level that the players of his peak years, Fed declined.
Whatever "it" is.
The competition at the top has clearly increased since the days of Fed's domination of 2003 or 2004-2007. So there has been a CLEAR rise in competition. Murray, Nole, and Nadal have been clear superior players to the field of Roddick, Hewitt, Safin, Nalbandian, Davydenko etc. Maybe Nalbandian and Safin had just as as much raw ability as the top guys do today but mentally they couldn't bring it all together week in week out
I always said Fed's resume has been wayyy over-inflated because of how weak the field was from that 4 year span of 2004-2007. If he would have had to deal with a prime Nole, Nadal, and Murray his slam count would be significantly less. During Fed's peak years, Nadal was still becoming a force outside of clay, Agassi was reaching his final years (though he was still good he wasn't as good as he was just a few years earlier when he emerged back onto the scene in 1999), Roddick has a FRACTION of the talent that guys like Nole and Nadal have. Hewitt was solid but definitely on par to Nole, Nadal, Murray. Hewitt still only managed to win 2 slams during that transitional era of 2001-2006 or 2007. In fact, after 2005 injuries ended his run.
Yes Fed isn't the force he was a few years ago. His level has gone down, but the competition at the top of the game has definitely gone up from 2003-2007. There is NO denying that.
Fed was very fortunate that he came along at a great time during a serious transitional era in tennis. Where there were absolutely NO dominant players around in their primes/peaks which enabled to win 3 slams a year for multiple years with not a whole lot of effort or any type of resistance from the field.
Fed fans hate to hear that.. But its true. If he hit his prime a few years later (2008-present) or during the 60s, 80s, early 90s etc.. his accomplishments would be noticeably less. All of those eras had more talented threats around in and around the top which could stop Fed from dominating with the type of EASE he did in the early-mid 00's
I love the way how PSampras' fanboys jump to RNadal's bandwagon to dismiss RFederer's achievement and greatness :p
I believe, its NOT a combination of both. RFederer isn't the even the shadow of himself post 2010 (the decline began in 2008 when he was affected by mono) plus RNadal has also declined that year, he is more injury prone.
Just because this era doesn't have a "RFederer" (dominance), they dismiss the previous era by saying it was weak. The top 10 was STRONGER than it is now. Maybe only the top 3 is stronger now, but overall the competition was better. An old AAgassi was much better than the likes of JJanowicz, GDimitrov, etc.
PSampras played a world no. 200+ in a Wimbledon SF (can't remember the year). What a strong era it must have been :twisted:
I doubt that Djokovic or Murray are playing any better this year than last.
Obviously, Fed at his best is the best of this generation of players.
I also doubt that there is any more depth to the field this year than last.
Yes, going 5 sets to someone who's never been past 4th round in Wimbledon is playing better
Its federer's decline. If fed were at his peak, there is a very real possibility that delpo/murray would not have won their sole slams and djokovic's tally would be cut down to 3-4 slams, not 6, that nadal would have 2-3 slams off clay, not 4.
the era b/w prime lendl, becker, edberg and that of federer/safin/hewitt/roddick/older agassi ( who finally matured ! )
kafelnikov reaching #1 after seven straight losses
moya reaching #1
sampras being #1 in 98 with a considerably worse year than djokovic's 2008
( who ended it at #3 )
'peak' sampras nearly going slamless in 96 ( being down MP to corretja )
agassi doing nothing of note in majors from 96-98
stich being a headcase and very inconsistent
krajicek being perennially injured
I've always said that had these 2 kept their heads & health, sampras would've ended up with less than 10 majors .
If that's not the indication of a transitional era, I don't know what is
Like Flash said earlier Falstaffs analysis throws a lot of light into this subject.It shows that feds performance declined against the field EXCLUDING Novak,Murray,Djoko and Nadal.So the drop in performance can be attributed more towards Decline than rise in competition.
And the age distribution of major finalists in the Open Era which shows how performance goes down after 26
Some Stats
Current ATP Top Ten
1 Djokovic, Novak (SRB)
2 Murray, Andy (GBR)
3 Federer, Roger (SUI)
4 Ferrer, David (ESP)
5 Nadal, Rafael (ESP)
6 Berdych, Tomas (CZE)
7 Tsonga, Jo-Wilfried (FRA)
8 Del Potro, Juan Martin (ARG)
9 Gasquet, Richard (FRA)
10 Wawrinka, Stanislas
I decided to use two separate years as dividing lines for the numbers. The years are 2008 and 2010. The reason I used 2008 for the first year is that is the year I thought Nadal was able to reach levels comparable to what he is now. The second year 2010 was used because I felt that Nadal reached an entirely new level in his winning the US Open that year. His serve was more powerful, reaching speeds of over 130 miles per hour.
The crux of all the debate seems to center on the big three rivals (I will refer to them overall as the big three here) in Nadal, Djokovic and Murray. And another part of the debate centers on the general strength of the players at the top as opposed to the years Federer was at his peak--2004 to 2006 in which he amassed an incredible record and over five years from 2003 to 2007 he won 12 of 20 majors entered. A great percentage of 60%. A number rarely matched in tennis history.
Since 2008 Roger Federer has won 5 of 23 majors for a percentage of 21.74. Still superb but obviously a decline. Nadal has won 9 of 20 majors for 45%. Djokovic has won 6 of 22 (with Wimbledon 2013 still a possibility for 7 out of 23) for 27.27%. Murray has won 1 out of 21 for 4.76% with the 2013 Wimbledon as a possibility for 2 out of 22.
Since 2008 Federer has won 353 matches and lost 71 for a super percentage of 83.25%. Federer has been very consistent in those years with records of starting with 2008 of 66-15, 61-12, 65-13, 64-12, 71-12 and 26-7 this year.
In that time he is 23-34 against the big three. He has lost 47.9% of all his losses since 2008 against the big three. Simple match indicates that he is 330-37 against everyone else for 89.92 percent. A percentage that seems comparable to his best years.
I arbitrary decided to include three others in the top ten, excluding (probably wrongly) Ferrer because subjectively I don't think he has the talent to challenge in majors like the others. Of course Ferrer went to the French final this year so who knows. The others are del Potro, Berdych and Tsonga because not only do I feel they are greatly talented but they have defeated players like Nadal, Djokovic and Federer in majors. Del Potro of course won the US Open.
Since 2008 Federer is 13-4 against del Potro, 9-4 against Tsonga and a surprising only 6-5 against Berdych. Federer is a combined 28-13 against these three for a record of 68.29%.
Combined against all six of the players mentioned Federer is 51-47 since 2008 for 52.04%. Without these six Federer would be 302-24 for a percentage of 92.6% since 2008. This is in line with some of Federer's great years.
In majors since 2008 Nadal is 5-0 against Federer, Djokovic is 5-5 and Murray 1-3 for a combined record of 11-8. Del Potro is 1-4, Berdych is 2-2 and Tsonga is 2-3 for a combined record against Federer of 5-11. Combined all six are 16-19 against Federer in majors.
In majors since 2010 Nadal is 2-0, Djokovic 3-2 and Murray 1-2 for a 6-4 record. Del Potro is 0-2, Berdych is 2-0 and Tsonga is 2-3 for a combined record of 4-5 against Federer in majors. Combined all six are 10-9 against Federer in majors since 2010.
My general feeling is that Djokovic reached a new level in 2011 and that Murray has reached a new level in 2012 with the help of his coach Ivan Lendl. This is a subjective opinion but I believe it is backed by results of the two. I think only in the last couple of years has the big three of Nadal, Djokovic and Murray been at their highest levels. Of course now with Nadal injured again who know what will happen in the future.
Anyway, look at the stats and draw whatever conclusions you may want. Obviously if I moved the year back before 2008 Federer would look better and feel free to do so. I just thought Nadal reached a new level in 2008.

Deborah Lipstadt: On History and Truth
The campus may look different, but the fond memories and comfortable feelings associated with Brandeis never change for Deborah Lipstadt, who returned to her alma mater on March 2 to participate in a leadership conference and speak about her new book.
"I always love coming back," said Lipstadt, who earned a master's degree at Brandeis in 1972 and a Ph.D. four years later. "But this is different to come back to this kind of welcome and this response."
Lipstadt participated in Truth at Stake, a conference on the protection of historical truth, but the events at the Shapiro Campus Center centered on Lipstadt's book about her libel trial against a Holocaust denier. Before the conference, she spoke about her book as part of the Office of Communications' Meet the Author series.
"History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving" recounts the hardships of being sued for libel by David Irving, a man Lipstadt named the most dangerous of Holocaust deniers in an earlier book.
Irving was dangerous not only because he was a revisionist historian, but also because he was broadly read and even praised by the mainstream media, according to Lipstadt.
Lipstadt's triumph in the London courtroom changed people's opinion of him. Irving is now infamous for being a Holocaust denier, a discredited historian, and a liar.
"I have not dealt a death blow to Holocaust deniers - it doesn't go away," said Lipstadt, the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University and the director of the school's Institute for Jewish Studies. "You don't win the battle, but you keep fighting the war."

SEV 8 Collection and empty folders
We have collections enabled on our journaling stores. the information is collected and stored in cab files correctly but the original folders structure stay intact. These folders are empty and don't seem to be used. We use netbackup for backup. Netbackup spends hours just crawling these empty folders. Is there an easy way of getting rid of these folders? Can I just delete them?
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
we just covered this topic in another thread. please have a look here:
Andy Becker | Authorized Symantec Consultant | Trace3 | Symantec National Partner | www.trace3.com
thanks for posting in that thread. there's some very valuable information from JesusWept2 that should be right up your alley
Andy Becker | Authorized Symantec Consultant | Trace3 | Symantec National Partner | www.trace3.com
These links may provide some more information:
Question: "EV2007 Should collection folders remain after their contents are passed onto their final storage location? I just noticed on one of our servers there are 21,782 empty folders in the collection area, using up about 127MB of disk space for allocation tables."
Answer:(Maynard K) "Yes, this structure will remain long after savesets are committed to your Centera. Can they be removed? I have heard two tales in regards to this. I have encountered an issue in which I had to try and add in folder's that were missing because my StorageFileWatch process was choking a structure that wasn't complete."
Question: "
I'm running EV9.0 on Windows 2003 r2 SP2 and have a very nice, agressive collection schedule configured that works very well. Only thing - it leaves behind all the directories from which the archived files are collected from, so even though one of my partitions has been collected from about 2 million files down to about 80 thousand files, I still have about 2 million directories on disk, most of which are now empty.
I suspect the sheer numbers of empty directories are contributing to backup performance degradation and very slow report generation of disk usage information (eg: diruse.exe, treesize, etc). There is also 600GB of a 2TB LUN that I also can't account for when comparing the disk properties free space to the folder/ file size properties from any of the disk usage reports. (The disk properties shows 600GB more in use than any disk usage report total).
What would be the impact of manually deleting these empty directories? For example, when an item is retrieved from a CAB file, does EV expect the original directory structure to still be in place, causing the process to fail if I have removed those directories? Or will it store the archdvs file along side the CAB file, rendering the orignal directory structure irrelevant, or possibly will is recreate the original directory structure as required?"
Answer: (JesusWept2) "
Enterprise Vault should recreate the directory no problem.
So what i would do if i were you, find an item through search that has been collected and then open the item through the browser, then locate the ArchDVS file on disk, then rename or delete the folder its located in, then try and open the item again.
You should see it open and you should see that EV has recreated the directory and reextracted the item to an ArchDVS file."
OK So i just tested it and it *does* recreate the folders
Heres the steps i followed
Step 1:
Go to http://yourEVServer/EnterpriseVault/Search.asp?advanced
Step 2:
Uncheck "Search Attachments",
change Sort Results to "Archived Date, Oldest First",
change Details to "Full"
Step 3:
Press the Search button
Step 4:
Make a note of the "SeqNum" on a particular result (i.e. SeqNum: 1)
Step 5:
Run the following query to get its CAB file location
SELECT A.ArchiveName, S.IndexSeqNo, S.IdChecksumHigh, S.IdChecksumLow, S.IdDateTime, S.ArchivedDate, S.IdTransaction, (PE.PartitionRootPath + '\' + C.RelativeFileName)
FROM EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Archive A,
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Root R,
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.PartitionEntry PE,
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.VaultStoreEntry VSE,
yourVaultStore.dbo.Saveset S,
yourVaultStore.dbo.Collection C,
yourVaultStore.dbo.ArchivePoint AP
WHERE S.CollectionIdentity = C.CollectionIdentity
AND S.ArchivePointIdentity = AP.ArchivePointIdentity
AND AP.ArchivePointId = R.VaultEntryId
AND R.RootIdentity = A.RootIdentity
AND A.VaultStoreEntryId = VSE.VaultStoreEntryId
AND VSE.VaultStoreEntryId = PE.VaultStoreEntryId
AND PE.IdPartition = C.IdPartition
AND S.IndexSeqNo = 1
AND A.ArchiveName LIKE 'Your Name%'
Step 6:
From the results i can see that the CAB file this item is located in is in:
E:\Vault Stores\myVault Ptn1\2010\01-20\B\Collection12345.CAB
My Transaction ID is : B03A658C-C9B1-43E8-E748-F87CCD744251
My Archived Date is : 2010-01-20 20:54:00.000

Mauritius Cuts Tourism Estimate; Hotel, Airline Shares Drop
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Mauritius cut its forecast for tourism arrivals this year, sending hotel and airline shares down, as the debt crisis in Europe curbs demand.
The estimate was reduced to 980,000 from 1.01 million, the Port Louis-based official statistics agency said on its website today. The country attracted 964,642 visitors in 2011.
Tourism and textiles are the main sources of foreign currency for the Indian Ocean island nation, and almost two-thirds of visitors last year came from Europe. The European Commission forecasts a 0.3 percent contraction in the Eurozone's economy this year. Visitor numbers declined from a year earlier in December and January, two of Mauritius's peak tourism months.
"We shouldn't be over-optimistic, taking into account the economic downturn in Europe," Swadicq Nuthay, an economist at Axys Capital Management Ltd in Port Louis, which oversees assets of 5 billion rupees ($173 million), said in a phone interview. "The industry, unfortunately, hasn't been proactive enough in its market diversification strategy."
New Mauritius Hotels Ltd., the country's largest leisure operator by market value, dropped 2.1 percent to 70 rupees, the lowest since March 2009. Sun Resorts Ltd., the second-largest resort group, fell 1.2 percent to 41 rupees. Lux Island Resorts Ltd. retreated 1.4 percent to 21.90 rupees, its lowest level since Dec. 21. Air Mauritius Ltd., sub-Saharan Africa's fourth biggest airline, retreated 0.8 percent to 12 rupees.
"The mood has been negative for a while," said Bhavik Desai, a research analyst at Axys Stockbroking Ltd. "It was an expected downward revision which should have already been factored in."

NCAA: Letran ties rival San Beda at the helm after crushing Arellano
More News from Mark Giongco
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Letran seized a share of the top spot after trouncing Arellano, 70-59, in the NCAA Season 89 men's basketball tournament Monday at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
The Knights, who bounced back after absorbing a shocking 76-80 loss at the hands of the Lyceum Pirates in their previous outing, tied defending champion San Beda Red Lions in first place with a 10-2 slate.
Reserve guard John Tambeling led the beatdown with 15 points while lanky center Raymond Almazan dominated the paint with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Letran zoomed ahead early and never relented as it clicked on both ends to lead by more than 20 points in the second half.
The Chiefs, who succumbed to their ninth setback in 13 games, failed to rack up back-to-back wins a feat that would've gotten their flatlining Final Four bid going.
Mark Cruz also had 12 points for Letran. John Pinto paced Arellano with 17 points and five assists.

BACARDI® Together This Summer and Rediscover the Daiquiri With BACARDI Classic Cocktails Hand Shaken Daiquiri
CORAL GABLES, Fla., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — BACARDI(®) – the world's favorite and best-selling premium rum- today introduces a new addition to its ready-to-serve portfolio, the BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI. This pre-mixed cocktail minimizes preparation without sacrificing taste, simply "open and pour" to enjoy the ultimate daiquiri.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110630/NY28926-b )
BACARDI CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI is a contemporary rendition of BACARDI's original Hand Shaken Daiquiri, a timeless classic in the world of cocktails. To create the perfect balance of flavors, this signature drink is prepared with BACARDI(®) Superior Rum, tangy lime juice and sugar. The result is a perfectly balanced spirit that offers a consistent and reliable taste with each pour – garnish with a lime wedge for a cool cocktail that everyone will love.
To celebrate the launch of BACARDI CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI, the brand has joined with actress, model and entrepreneur, Brooke Burke, to bring consumers fun and festive tips to make at home entertaining easy. The "Dancing with the Stars" co-host will share recommendations for hosting a great party and fashion advice, such as:
- Make an Impression – Pick a theme when hosting a summer-inspired bash by adding a few outdoor touches and ocean accents like seashells, lanterns or string lights. For a chic look, serve daiquiris in pretty tinted glasses. Use an ice-cube tray featuring different shapes for an extra-fun flair or add mini-umbrellas for a playful accent.
- Sit and Sip -Get the party started by serving guests a signature drink. Set-up at a stylish service station with ice buckets; tie a single large ribbon or floral lei around it, add ice and BACARDI CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI; pour and serve!
- Serve Something Delicious- What's a party without great food? A pot-luck is a great way to share the preparation. Have your guests bring a variety of finger foods like chicken kebabs, pasta salad and fresh fruit. This way, they can nibble at their leisure instead of waiting in line for the grill!
"The summer is my favorite time to entertain and BACARDI makes cocktail time easy with the new, ready-to-serve, BACARDI HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI," said actress, Brooke Burke. "This sweet drink is a quick and convenient way to enjoy a classic cocktail. Simply open, pour over ice and enjoy! Paired with good music, delicious food and chic decor, you have the elements of a perfect party and more time to be together with your friends and family."
Following suit with the BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS PINA COLADA, BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI, BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS RASPBERRY MOJITO, BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS MOJITO, the BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI will continue to increase the popularity of the easy pour-and-serve design. Similar to its predecessors, the BACARDI(®) CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI is packaged in a translucent bottle that showcases the simplicity of design and mixture. The 15-percent alcohol-by-volume (30 proof) ready-to-drink cocktail is available in a 750-ml size as well as a 1.75-liter. It has a suggested retail price of $12.99 and $19.99, respectively.
"BACARDI CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI is the perfect addition to the brand's ready-to-serve portfolio and a new staple for sophisticated at-home entertaining," said Toby Whitmoyer, vice president and brand managing director, rums category, at Bacardi U.S.A., Inc. "Our goal is to encourage people to get together and when they do, to offer them a way to enjoy more time with their guests, without sacrificing flavor or style. BACARDI CLASSIC COCKTAILS HAND SHAKEN DAIQUIRI is a natural extension for the brand and also pays tribute to one of the most celebrated cocktails in our history."
The BACARDI Hand Shaken Daiquiri cocktail was reportedly invented by a mining engineer in the small town of Daiquiri, Cuba in 1898. After experimenting with local ingredients he combined fresh squeezed lime juice, sugar, crushed ice and BACARDI(®) Superior to create what he named the Daiquiri.
The launch will be supported nationally with consumer and trade print advertising, digital, POS, sampling events and PR. For more information, please visit www.bacardi.com or www.facebook.com/bacardi .
About BACARDI( )Rums
In 1862 BACARDI revolutionized the spirits industry when founder Don Facundo BACARDI began producing his remarkable light-bodied, smooth rum – BACARDI, the world's favorite premium rum brand. The unique taste of BACARDI Rum inspired cocktail pioneers to invent some of the world's most famous drinks including the BACARDI Mojito, the BACARDI Daiquiri, the BACARDI Cuba Libre, the BACARDI Piña Colada and the BACARDI Presidente. BACARDI Rum has won more than 400 awards for quality and product profile. Today, BACARDI rum is produced in Puerto Rico, following the production legacy set forth by Don Facundo – crafted in a five step distillation process, aged in American white oak barrels, and filtered five times for unparalleled quality and smoothness.

Space Docks
Posted 27 April 2014 - 04:49 PM
Please assume I'm a complete moron and explain space docks to me. I get the production capacity of [planet resources] +2, but how does this work when building shops etc???
Posted 27 April 2014 - 07:17 PM
When you build GF or FT, that's 2 pieces of plastic for 1 resource. Counts for two against the limit, it's just cheaper. You can build a solo GF if you really want it and the production capacity won't allow 2, but you still pay full price.

When building at space dock there are 3 constraints:
1. You are limited by your resources available and the cost of the unit printed on the Race card. Other additions are refineryif you use theses optional rules or the tech: Sarween tools.
2. You are limited by the number of ships (War suns, Dreadnoughts, Cruisers, Carriers, Destroyers) that can be on that Hex. The limit is set by the number of command counters on your fleet supply.
3. A Space dock can only build a number of plastics (units) = Planet resources(+ any refinery)+2 for Dock+ 1 if you have the Tech: Enviro compensators.
I am not sure what you mean by shops. If building a Space dock in a multi planet system that already has a Space dock this does not count against your production at the existing Space dock because you are building on the empty planet not at the existing Space dock. Refineries and colonies don't count against Space docks production either.

I am not sure what you mean by shops.
I believe that the mentioned "shops" was a typo when writing "ships".

USA (MNN)–Roughly 17-thousand Americans fled their homes on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday. A burning hazardous waste plant sent a chlorine cloud and other dangerous fumes throughout the region.
The plant, EQ Industrial Services, handles a wide array of industrial waste, from paints to solvents, and houses chemicals such as chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, sulfur and fertilizer.
Apex and Wake County have both declared a state of emergency. In doing so, officials have started the process of asking for government assistance.
Trans World Radio spokesman, David McCreary says because of the environmental risks, their international headquarters in Cary, North Carolina evacuated. "The office was closed. Basically, the roads surrounding the office have been closed off, so there was no access to the office today at all. None of the staff was able to even report."
Other news sources report that Washington has is keeping tabs on the fire. They've also sent three Environmental Protection Agency officials, eight E-P-A contractors and two toxic specialists to the scene, along with air-monitoring and emergency response equipment.
Residual pollution remains a risk after the fire is put out, but McCreary says the staff hopes to be able to get into their offices in the next day or so.
As for their international listeners, "In terms of ministry, our worldwide network of broadcast is still going strong, so the Word is getting out around the world. Some of our things like finance and our support roles are going to be delayed a little bit, but otherwise, the ministry is still going on strong."

RNC Chair Calls Harry Reid A "Dirty Liar"
After Reid charges that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years, Reince Priebus fights back. Coincidence? Clint Eastwood just endorsed Romney.
Reid Spokesman Adam Jentleson sends this response:
Republicans can try to cover up for Mitt Romney's stonewalling all they want, but this issue is not going away until Romney decides to be straight with the American people and release his tax returns. It is sad that the most secretive candidate since Richard Nixon has forced his party to defend his decision to hide the truth about his tax returns. As Senator Reid has said, an extremely credible source informed him that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for ten years. From the one year of returns Romney has released, we've seen that he uses secret offshore accounts in places like Switzerland and the Cayman Islands to avoid paying U.S. taxes. It's clear Mitt Romney is hiding something, and the only way for him to clear this up is to be straight with the American people and release his tax returns.

Originally written on Brewers Bar | Last updated 11/18/14
(Image: AP/Morry Gash) Two years ago today, September 23, 2011, the Brewers defeated the Florida Marlins 4-1. Combined with a Cardinals loss to the Cubs later that evening, Milwaukee clinched its first division title in nearly three decades. That game happened to be the last of my 9-pack, and it's hard to imagine I will have a better live-sporting-event-attendance experience for the foreseeable future. I remember thinking it was pretty unlikely that game would be the clincher, but thanks to a St. Louis bullpen collapse against the Mets the previous day, I got lucky. The game was in some ways a microcosm of the incredible 2011 season. Home runs by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder accounted for all the RBIs, Yovani Gallardo pitched a dominating 7.1 innings with 11 strikeouts, and the then untouchable K-Rod/Axford combination shut the door. When Axford struck out Bryan Petersen only moments after Alfonso Soriano's homer in St. Louis put the Cubs ahead for good, the fans in Mi...

Ultimately, Stan Brakhage's movies are more about consciousness than "vision" per se, and they can't be reduced to their tricks alone. The films explore how we engage with thought and action at the same time, or how we deal with memory and expectation. Brakhage believes that film can be a way to bring the inside (emotions, ideas) to the "outside"--that is, to the audience. Since his images are really just a means for the viewer to explore more profound concepts, it can be said without embarrassment that "watching" is the wrong word for what the audience does with his work. "Meditating upon" is more like it.
In person, Brakhage is quirky, digressive, and even chatty, undeniably dedicated to his self-willed project. Stories abound of his refusal to wear glasses, causing his friends to worry that when he drove them from the airport he wouldn't see the signs. (He's not foolish; his friends are still alive.) He's made himself a heroic figure, not out of ego but because of sheer obsession and fascination. Brakhage isn't famous (except in avant-garde film circles), but he is surely the most revered of this country's experimental filmmakers. For years he was part of the show-and-tell independent film tour that brought artists and their works to cities and campuses. That circuit has disintegrated, but Brakhage remains influential: His edgy/poetic technique shows up directly or indirectly all over the place, whether it's in the early R.E.M. videos by James Herbert (a Brakhage admirer), the harrowing last frames of Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, or the mixed-format style of so many current TV ads.
Maybe this filmmaker deserves to be seen as a musician. Once trained as a boy soprano but not otherwise known as a musical performer, Brakhage has recently admitted in print that his goal is to achieve "visual music"--an elusive feat that has obsessed everyone from the Russian composer Scriabin to Walt Disney. Indeed, music, with its lyricism, melody, and harmony, seems a fitting way to insert depth into daily life. Stereolab has a song called "Brakhage," and one of its two minimalist verses observes ironically, "We need so damn/Many things/To keep our days'/Lives going." Regardless of whether the song has much to do with Brakhage, it makes a handy tool for proposing seeing and thinking as two of the most essential things in life, as well as the claimed territory of this great artist.
"Stan Brakhage: The Art of Seeing" continues at Walker Art Center through February 26; an informal master class with Brakhage will be held at MCAD on February 27 at 11 a.m. For tickets and information, call (612) 375-7622.

Carnegie Mellon is a factory like school, and for many can be overwhelming. It is important to know what you want to do, and as you progress, that industriousness can be molded into passion as you see fit. It is however sad that in many cases majors are not able to interact and inspire one another as they should.Read More

CMU is good for the ambitious students or students who want to it all. A lot of the majors here, especially those in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, are interdepartmental and even cross majors. The cost can be pretty steep and students having to take a short leave of absence due to stress is not uncommon.Read More

'Terminator: Genesis' Has the "Same Feel" As 'Terminator 2′
Posted on Tuesday, March 18th, 2014 by Angie Han
Not a lot has been confirmed so far about the plot of Terminator: Genesis, other than the fact that it'll involve some time-travel elements. But in terms of the movie's tone, Arnold Schwarzenegger says it'll have the "same feel" as 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What it won't be like, according to the Terminator, is director Alan Taylor's last movie, Thor: The Dark World.
Of course, capturing that same T2 vibe will be a lot easier if Taylor is allowed to aim for an R rating. And on that front, Schwarzenegger confesses he isn't really sure what's going to happen. Hit the jump to read Schwarzenegger's comments.

Walter Stegman
Tuesday, December 30, 1952
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Linguist, record collector, and translator of opera libretti Walter Stegman hosts.
He plays excerpt from first act of Verdi's La Traviata (performed in German) and then discusses linguistics in opera, he calls the translations a shock: strange sounds coupled with the music.
Stegman then plays the death scene of Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov performed in Italian and then in the original Russian.
He then plays two examples of the Spanish lyric-dramatic genre zarzuela.
To illustrate the idea that he doesn't always think that an opera is best performed in its native language he palys Elektra by Richard Strauss in French and in German.
Followed by French art song "Come Let Us Wander Alone" by Peter Cornelius.
Next, Gluck's Orpheus is performed in French, English and Italian. Stegman prefers the Italian.
Orchestral interlude "La boda de Luis Alonso" by Jerónimo Jiménez.

WALTER, hopefully you will remember an aspiring young dancer from the early l950's. you lived just off of central park west somewhere in the seventies, I believe. I was showing you my double pieouette and fell on your coffee table and broke your cigarette dish (sorry, I didn't have enough moneyu to replace it) also, you got a very large dog, and on a walk in the park, the dog got away anc chased a horsebeck rider, and you were in trouble. I remember, you worked at the city radio station. have often thought of you through the years. if you receive this, please send me a message. I live in edgewater, florida. I would love to call you for a chat if you are available. my phone # : 386 663 4028.
