FreeNAS storage solution
Full Bio
Rick Vanover is a software strategy specialist for Veeam Software, based in Columbus, Ohio. Rick has years of IT experience and focuses on virtualization, Windows-based server administration, and system hardware.
Quite nice NAS but Freenas is not flexible. You can not change configuration after implemetation without rebuild matrix from scratch.. More flexible and faster solution is Openfiler. Loot at that : http://www.scribd.com/doc/29643/OpenFiler-vs-FreeNAS
So what are people using FreeNAS (and similar solutions) for? Are these replacing Windows file servers, or stand-alone NAS boxes? I take it we are talking primarily in the small business space here, or are larger organisations using this for less important storage, like an additional backup target?
We choose NexentaCore, it's a true ZFS with all features of FreeNAS and OpenFiler, and it's free too.
I ran with FreeNas last year on 6 machines which rotated through receiving a 90G backup file from BackupNt 2003 for a server 2003 box. I found the file system would become corrupt after about 2 months of daily use with 90G coming down a gig network connection. It occurred on more than one of the backup machines. The filesystem collapsed, not the filecopy. The drives needed rebuilding. I could never work out what was killing them
I'm sure Open Filer is nice, but it is not free like freeNAS--an important consideration.
Thanks to those of you that replied to my question. I'm looking to centralise storage at my house at the moment and was looking at buying a NAS box (I will just RAID1 a pair of 2TB drives). I've got an old PC running as a print server, I wouls like an iSCSI target to play around with as storage for ESXi for my test server, I have previously RAIDed a few drives in a Windows box, but want to move away from that to something that was made for the job, and takes less space and power. Ideally I would like the drives to be formatted as NTFS so I can plug them into a Windows PC if needed. This is only a slight preference though. I'm strongly leaning to a NAS box for the job. It can replace my print server, I'll get something that can be an iSCSI target, it will take up less space and I'm expecting it to be a hassle-free setup. Am I right in thinking this will be a better setup for my needs than FreeNAS? It sounds to me as if FreeNAS is used for jobs where a dedicated NAS box could also be used - FreeNAS sounds as though it has more options at the cost of more complexity.
I'm using 4 old Dell 2450's as network storage for Disk to Disk backups and storage for a couple of ESX Servers. Two are running FreeNAS and 2 are using OpenFiler. Setup is similar and I have no preference of one over the other. I have a 5th server as a large network storage partition for SMB users on an old Powervault 750N. That one is running Ubuntu Server 9.04 setup as a simple ISCSI target. Windows Servers see the partition and use is as a hard drive. Works very well.
I am using FreeNAS at home as a storage and backup device. I have the original 60 GB drive with the install, a 1.5 TB drive that is holding all of my movies, music, pictures, etc, and a 2 TB drive that I am using for backup. I can stream music and movies from this device to my media center with no problem. For the backups, I am using Cobian backup on my windows boxes to backup files to the FreeNAS server. I am also using Microsoft's free Outlook backup utility to back up Outlook email. On my Linux boxes, I am using rsync to backup files to FreeNAS. I find FreeNAS easy to implement and it does exactly what it is supposed to. After 30 minutes of inactivity, I am spinning the data drives down to save electricity. All-in-all, I like it.
erm.... Solaris has a "true" Zetabyte File System - Nexenta have taken the open source ZFS software and integrated it with their own Linux based distro. Having said that - thanks for the info! I will definately give this a try out. Does this OS have a decent gooey for non-techies to help them set up filesystems/sharing/ownerships/etc?
Try ZFS. Easy to set up using the web interface. Though I don't pound my box daily, so I cannot comment on the corruption which ZFS is designed to eliminate.
Pre version 8 has a problem with corrupting hardrive formatted in other then UFS,if you use NTFS or really any other system corruption is almost a sure thing.
Support for openfiler is not - nor is the manual.
As in my previous post you can utilize older hardware that might not cut the muster in your rack anymore.
as long as got good power (UPS) and temp control, leave those drives spinning unless a very long time between uses. Will take a chance doing more damage with every drive startup.
I too use FreeNAS for a home file server for my music, photos and videos as well as maintaining backups for all the computers on the network. I was able to use an old PC and purchase a new 1GB drive to build a NAS rather than spend north of $600 for a turnkey solution. However, I found FreeNAS to be a bit difficult to configure until I ran across this tutorial http://www.lagesse.org/freenas-tutorial-for-windows-users-part-two-configuration/. My FreeNAS has been running without issue for over a year. However, I've never been able to get the UPnP/DLNA media server working, though the problem could be with my media player clients. I would also like to be able to use it as an iTunes server but haven't found enough information to make it work.
How would ZFS compare to NAS? They are two complete different technologies.
Consequence of openness...
All right guys. All you FreeNas haters can stay with those expensive solutions while this is free. It has many options and uses many protocols. My setup has been running for 562 days without any attention. It's only a 345mhz with 128m memory and runs four 500mB drives without a problem. it works great in my business network. Guys, don't hate FreeNas is great!

A chemical peel refers to a controlled removal of varying layers of the epidermis and superficial dermis with the use of a wounding agent, such as phenol or TCA. Chemical peels can be subdivided into the types of wounding agents used and the depth of the peel, either epidermal or dermal.
Since the days of ancient Egypt, chemoexfoliation methods also known as chemical peeling has been used to rejuvenate skin. The original chemoexfoliant was lactic acid, an active ingredient of sour milk that was used topically by the nobles as a part of an ancient skin rejuvenation regimen.
In the Middle Ages, old wine with tartaric acid as its active ingredient was used for the same purpose. Today, these historical chemoexfoliants are known to contain alpha-hydroxyl-acids, which are the active ingredients responsible for skin exfoliation.
The chemical peel produces a controlled partial thickness injury to the skin. Following the insult to the skin, a wound healing process ensues that can regenerate epidermis from surrounding epithelium and adnexal structures, decrease solar elastosis (seen histologically in the sun-exposed skin of the elderly or in those who have chronic actinic damage), and replace and reorient the new dermal connective tissue. The result is an improved clinical appearance of the skin, with fewer rhytides (wrinkles) and decreased pigmentary dyschromia (abnormal color).
Modern day chemical peeling originally was promoted by dermatologists, such as P.G. Unna, who first described the proprieties of salicylic acid, resorcinol, phenol, and TCA. Slowly, the early practitioners of chemical peels began to develop other peeling agents for varying depths of penetration.
Superficial Peeling Agents (Epidermal Peels)
Medium-Depth Peels (Epidermal or Dermal)
Deep Peels (Dermal Peels)
The Baker Gordon peel (phenol 88%, 2ML distilled water, 8 drops Septisol, and 3 drops croton oil) produces the most dramatic results and is the most effective peeling agent currently used. The phenol produces a new zone of collagen that is thicker than produced by laser. The solution is very effective in smoothing wrinkles related to aging and sun damage.
Each benefit plan, summary plan description or contract defines which services are covered, which services are excluded, and which services are subject to dollar caps or other limitations, conditions or exclusions. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there is any exclusion or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
BCBSMT may consider medium depth dermal chemical peels to treat patients with numerous (greater than ten) actinic keratosis or other premalignant skin lesions medically necessary if treatment of the individual lesions becomes impractical. Treatments in this category include but are not limited to:
Special Comment regarding Cosmetic Services: Determination of benefit coverage for procedures considered to be cosmetic is based on how a member's benefit contract defines cosmetic services and their eligibility for benefit coverage.
The main issue regarding chemical peels is the determination of whether the treatment is primarily cosmetic in nature. Actinic keratoses are premalignant lesions, and the medical necessity for their destruction or removal is considered appropriate, although watchful waiting may also be an option. However, a chemical peel for the treatment of actinic keratoses would only be appropriate when there are numerous lesions, making treatment of the individual lesions impractical. For example, Morganroth and Leffell suggest that patients with fewer than 10 actinic keratoses should be treated with cryotherapy.
In addition, curative treatment of actinic keratoses requires a full-thickness necrosis of the epidermis. Brodland and Roenigk estimate that this depth of necrosis would be unlikely with concentrations of TCA less than 35%. Therefore, requests for epidermal peels as a treatment of actinic keratoses may actually represent primarily cosmetic procedures and should be carefully evaluated.
Epidermal peels with alpha-hydroxy acids, so-called fruit acids that include glycolic acid and lactic acid, are frequently used for the treatment of active acne. While low concentrations of glycolic acid can be administered by the patient at home, higher concentrations (50%–70%) are administered in the dermatologist's office. Superficial glycolic acid peels are usually done as an adjunct to other comedolytic therapy done in the office. Typically, patients are treated every two to three weeks on a repeated basis. Since chemical peeling does not represent a curative therapy, treatments may be continued over the course of years. Superficial peels for these patients represent a more intense form of therapy, inasmuch as referral to a dermatologist is required. Therefore patients with acne requesting coverage for chemical peels should have failed a trial of topical and oral antibiotic therapy for acne.
A search of the literature was completed through MEDLINE database for the period of January 2005 through July 2007. No additional published studies were identified that would prompt reconsideration of the policy statement
2009 Update
A search of peer reviewed literature through July 2009 identified no new clinical trial publications or any additional information that would change the coverage position of this medical policy.
Disclaimer for coding information on Medical Policies
Procedure and diagnosis codes on Medical Policy documents are included only as a general reference tool for each policy. They may not be all-inclusive.
The presence or absence of procedure, service, supply, device or diagnosis codes in a Medical Policy document has no relevance for determination of benefit coverage for members or reimbursement for providers. Only the written coverage position in a medical policy should be used for such determinations.
Benefit coverage determinations based on written Medical Policy coverage positions must include review of the member's benefit contract or Summary Plan Description (SPD) for defined coverage vs. non-coverage, benefit exclusions, and benefit limitations such as dollar or duration caps.

In January 2013, after over 30 FRSA complaints were lodged by BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) employees, OSHA and BNSF reached an agreement (Accord), where BNSF agreed to modify certain policies and practices alleged to interfere with employees' rights under the whistleblowing provisions of the Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA). BNSF also extended settlement offers to 36 employees who alleged retaliation.
The Accord
BNSF agreed to make changes to three policies alleged to interfere with employees' FRSA rights: the Policy for Employee Performance Accountability (PEPA); the Personal Performance Index (PPI); and the Employee Review Process (ERP).
The Accord reflects the seriousness with which OSHA is taking whistleblower claims, and the lessons from the Accord apply in many respects to each of the 22 whistleblower statutes within OSHA's perview. Employers are well advised to review their policies, protocols and procedures to ensure they are not reasonably construed as discouraging reporting of injuries or violations of rules and regulations. Likewise, performance review policies that take into account the reporting of injuries or potential regulatory violations should be carefully reviewed with the same goal in mind.

No CIA Fake Driver's Licenses In WA
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Lawmakers have moved to block the CIA from using a Washington state program that has issued hundreds of fake driver's licenses to government agencies. A measure approved by the state House would give legislative approval to the program — but only for undercover law enforcement officers. Rep. Judy Clibborn said the bill protects investigators while also making the program more accountable.

Relais de la Poste: Why We Did Not Stay at the Beach
We found this delightful Inn only 17.5 km from Caen. It is 3*. We wanted a base from which to make day trips to Caen and Bayeux and had the time to Drive around the Suisse Normand area on another day. We do not like beach resorts small or large. It was off-season and because we were taking demi-pension, we were given the suite with a nice view and the best of furnishings (like another honeymoon). The meals were excellent Normandy cooking featuring beef in daubes or stew-like presentations. The dessert at each meal was different and made with apples; of course one dessert was the Tarte normande. We learned about the "Norman trou" which was included.(We will write this up in Basse-Normandie>Customs). We have had New Jersey Apple-Jack before but this has an "aged" flavor and like any good brandy, was easy to sip neat. The experience is 20 years old and still vividly retained.
The food and the ambience were worth the trip. (Michelin gives it 2 forks).

In Beck Documentary, Soros Is 'Puppet Master'
Fox News host alleges billionare's global conspiracy
Here is what Fox News host Glenn Beck said yesterday on the first installment of his two-part documentary on Jewish billionaire financier George Soros. This followed images of the Star of David; video of implicitly Holocaust-era European Jews; and the flashing of Soros quotes that express a lack of sympathy toward the Jewish people. It involved Beck pointing to a chart that alleged a conspiracy drawing various, disparate crises inward toward Soros.
I told you that there was a structure being put into place in our country, and it was designed to bring about the fundamental transformation that has been promised. Through the course of the journey of this discovery, amazingly, all paths, time after time, really led to one man: George Soros. One guy. There's a crisis collapsing our economy—George Soros. When the progressives, the administration, look for a savior to step in and save the day—George Soros. He makes predictions, and his loyal followers make sure they come true. He's pulled no punches about the endgame: It's one world government, the end of America's status as the prevailing world power. But why? Well, if you want to understand the why there, you have to ask questions, and there's a few things you need to know about George Soros. … Eighty years ago, George Soros was born. Little did the world know then economies would collapse, currencies would become worthless, elections would be stolen, regimes would fall. And one billionaire would find himself coincidentally at the center of it all. [My bold.]
That is my transcription of a clip (below) that Media Matters has posted (I neglected to DVR the progam, as Beck himself advises I do at the outset; I haven't made the same mistake today). Elsewhere, Beck, who in the past has essentially said that the Jews killed Jesus, says, with his trademark more-sorrow-than-anger stare of faux-anguish, "His mother was a strong anti-Semite—his words, not mine"; reports that Soros said he felt no guilt at having to aid in the confiscation of his fellow Hungarian Jews' land before World War II; and he describes Soros' ultimate goal as "one global society, one global gatekeeper." He describes Soros' alma mater, the London School of Economics, as "Fabian Socialist" (which may help explain the behavior of fellow-alum Mick Jagger).
Bizarrely, Beck cites the support Soros' Open Society Institute gave to various revolutions in Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and elsewhere (good revolutions!), and casts them in a negative light: "So what is his target now? Us. America." Beck floats the notion that Soros is planning a coup.
Beck notes that Soros was born George Schwartz to Orthodox Jews in Hungary, but is now an atheist; he casts Soros, now, as a self-hating Jew who does not support Israel.
Beck acknowledges that the charge of anti-Semitism has been levied at him for this lewd "Puppet Master" spectacle. His reponse: "I'm probably more of a supporter of Israel and the Jews than George Soros is." Of course, according to Beck, that is not saying much.
Is Beck an anti-Semite? My understanding, as only an occasional Beck viewer, is that most of this stuff is just par for the course. Still, to adopt the man's over-the-top rhetorical techniques for a moment, allow me to ask again: Is Beck an anti-Semite? I just reported. You decide.

cool cool cool... Actually i'd love if the kill Gwen
I LOVED dancing Parker in 3! In the comics, the suit absolutely made him an arrogant and aggressive weirdo, and all the Arrogant Aggressors i know dance readily because they love themselves. I just liked that even with all that power, and all that confidence... peter was still a major dork. I think it worked
...but i havent met anyone else who felt that since the film came out. I guess i should let it die :/
i hate midnight showings too. I cant stand cheering for cheerings sake, and that tends to happen when our people get what we want.
and finally, i freaking love it when you use the extended CV song at the end of the podcasts. I dance like an arrogant aggressor myself.

I think that MJ knowing from the start seems like she just wanted to date him because he was Spider-Man, and then she didn't marry him because actually dating Spider-man was too much for her. BUT, with the way Dan Slott is writing her now, she knows who Peter is, as Spider-Man and Peter and everything he goes through and sacrifices. Her knowing from the beginning adds to that, she knows him through and through from the very beginning. She has a better understanding of what he goes through day by day. They even show, while Peter is saving the day from Doc Ock, MJ is thinking I know what Peter is doing and what he is going though. So now it adds to the idea I think. And when they start dating they maybe will show her in a different light.
With her knowing all this time, and them not in a relationship yet, making her his best friend.
I remembering reading Gwen's 1st appearances and in the beginning she meets Peter at college, she is already friends with Harry and then Flash befriends them too and they become like the cool kids. And they don't like Parker because he is always to snobby and thinks he is better than them. But really he is worrying about Aunt May who is dying and the bad guys and being Spider-man and him and Aunt May being able to afford their house, etc. So a few times she tries to be his friend and he is like "oh, um, what?" Not really paying attention because he is preoccupied, and so she gets mad and storms off thinking what a jerk he is. So in the beginning she didn't like Peter Parker.
I liked Aunt May's reaction in 616 to Peter being Spider-Man rather than Aunt May from the Ultimate comics. in 616 she is shocked and angry and all these emotions, she walks around and thinks. But ultimately she becomes sort of ok with it. She even helps him, writing letters to news papers about their Spider-man coverage (dropping the bugle because of their one sided view), helping peter get through airport security.
but in the Ultimate comics she seemed angrier, and not just when she found out, but she always seemed agitated. When she did find out she threw him out of the house. But its not just that, Aunt May is written less sickly now and better I think.
My favorite change in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, I think, would be the whole DNA genetics angle. the Spiders were genetically altered and Peter's DNA was genetically altered, and its all because Osborne was trying to recreate the Super Soldier Serum formula. So Green Goblin, Spider-Man, Hulk, are all connected to Captain America and the Super Soldier program. I liked that a lot.
I heard the original plan for Spiderman 3 was going to be that Vulture and Sandman were in prison together. They break out, Vulture is the brains and he uses Sandman as the muscle. Sandman is a reluctant criminal. then Sandman is transformed into sandman, and is still manipulated by Vulture. Then fit Harry as GG in there too, and thats the movie. No Venom, no dark Spider-man, and probably no Gwen. But the studio forced it. IMO if they were going to do Venom, that should have been it, no Sandman or GG.
I think Kraven could be done well, he is this ultimate hunter guy, like an evil Batman versus Spider-Man. He is an expert fighter, expert with weapons, expert tracker, while Spider-Man is so inexperienced that he doesn't seem like he stands a chance against Kraven. Kraven is also blood thirsty, overly aggressive, and angry. He will hold nothing back in destroying Spider-man. I think that would work. And maybe Kraven dies while fighting Spider-Man, maybe he is defeated. Spider-Man standing over him, cops all around, and Kraven refuses to surrender and jumps at the cops or something and causes his own death. Or something less dark but still him dead in the end by his own hand.
And then in the Spider-Man after that you can bring in the Chameleon as the next bad guy, he could be like Spider-Man's Joker. The thinking bad guy to his step brother Kraven's brawn. He is out to avenge Kraven's death or defeat. He uses his ability to look like others to cause chaos in Peter's/Spider-Man's life. Chameleon is a spy, trained in combat and spying. He could even be pushed to being a creepy rout, where maybe he gave his whole life over to being a spy and now he is burned and has nothing so he uses his skills to be an assassin/murderer and now his target is Spider-Man.
In the original comics I thought it was supposed to be that Peter gained a lot of knowledge and understanding when he was bitten by the spider. Suddenly he understood how spider's make webbing and how to create it himself.
Avi Arad (or whatever is name is) said that they always had to tie Spider-Man's world back to Petr. So that is why he always had to remove his mask and why all the bad guys were connected back to Peter. Something Ditko didn't want, he felt that in the real world the bad guy is usually someone you don't know and are not connected to in any way. Just some bad guy. But the movies thought that everything had to relate back to Peter for the audience.
I want to see them go the James Bond rout too. I was even thinking up a Mysterio idea where his costume was similar to Spider-man from the movie but holographic. And that the Spider-Man 6 would have the Sinister 6. But I'd love them to do the James Bond thing with all the superheroes, so that maybe down the line we could have Spider-Man meet the Hulk or something.
I understand how taking the James Bond approach to super hero franchises seems like it would work on paper but it practice it just doesnt work at all. Case in point the Batman franchise. When Michael Keaton and Tim Burton moved on Joel Schumaker and Val Kilmer/George Clooney took over and we ALL know how that turned out (even though I like Batman Forever more than most). The James Bond approach barely even works in the James Bond franchise, and especially not how you describe it since it is pretty much canon that nearly every James Bond is a different spy and the name is passed along with the 007 ranking.

I completely agree with Tony about going the James Bond route, I mean look simply at that franchise and seeing how it works very well as well as looking at shows like Doctor Who for example, I think it would work and would love to see movies go past the three film's marker they seem to end at.

Andrew garfield was great as Peter parker, Tobey Maguire was too emo and broody.However Rhys Ifans' preformance as the Lizard was alright ,I expected more from the preformance but I did'nt hate it. Althought it would have been "amazing" if the Lizard role was darker like in the "shed"storyline.Electro ,would be better than mystero as the next villain though , he'd be better as a light harted villain which I think would work well with the random banter produced by peter.

The company accepts all insurance programs and offers senior discounts.
Robbi Meade's pet name for her children is "Sweet Peas." So when she decided to launch a consignment store for children, the term of endearment seemed to be a natural choice for the name.
Thus, she recently opened the business under the name of Sweet Peas Consignment Boutique.

Ryan O'Neal's battle with the University of Texas over ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of his late girlfriend Farrah Fawcett is getting even more contentious, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The Love Story actor has moved to block a legal bid forcing him to turn over his private journal.
In court documents the veteran Tinseltown star has filed and obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, the Oscar-nominee objected to the University's motion to compel him to produce any material that refers in any way to matters surrounding the Warhol painting of Fawcett.
O'Neal's lawyers have pleaded with a judge, "This request outrageously seeks 15 categories of documents over a 34 year period. It is overbroad, unduly burdensome, oppressive, compound, and harassing."
What's more, the high-powered attorneys further accuse the school's board of regents of "conducting a fishing expedition for unspecified documents" which is "hopelessly vague and ambiguous."
In their multi-million dollar lawsuit, the University has asked a judge to order O'Neal, 72, to turn over the portrait, which Fawcett bequeathed to their Austin, Tex., campus where she was once a student.
But in a countersuit, O'Neal claimed Warhol gave him the portrait of Fawcett, the late mother of his drug troubled son son, Redmond.
O'Neal is also moving to block their request to have the actual Warhol portrait brought to the courtroom for the trial, which is set for November.
PHOTOS: Tatum, Ryan & Redmond O'Neal With Friends After Farrah Fawcett's Memorial
"A photograph of the portrait could just as effectively be used… during trial," O'Neal's lawyers have argued.
They charge that it would be "unduly burdensome…to bring such a purportedly valuable item to the courthouse (where it be subjected to the risk of theft and/or damage)."
The University has reportedly assessed the value of the painting at $10 million, a figure O'Neal has indicated that he disputes.

How do you account for non daily burn exercises in your workout program?
I am about to start the daily burn TBT program and wonder how to integrate my current exercise routine into the schedule. I play hockey twice a week and I am wondering how to get that into the schedule. Should I just not add anything else during those days? Or just some of the recovery day parts?by: mistergrau
by: KateHough
Hey mistergrau,
I'd suggest doing the prescribed TBT workout each day, and keeping your hockey days just as they are, while taking one extra day off per week. This means that you may have a few double workout days, but depending on your age, current health, and time limitations, it should be fine. If you are feeling extra sore or overtrained, cut out the workouts on your hockey days.

I think the story is always the same because it happens a lot. The NGE for SWG was a totally different game, and I went and played emu pre-nge servers for a bit a few years ago.
You're right though to some degree. there is definetely a "golden era" issue that goes on with games. The games were certainly not perfect, SWG lacked any real PvP besides open world when i played it. I don't want a clone, but rather some kind of biologically related MMO.
I've read that if the KS hits 2 million then 3 million of additional funding gets thrown in and the warchest is at 5 million. One argument put forward is that the exclusion of PvE will free a substantial amount of funds. Still your have a valid point that 5 million is not a lot for an MMO of today.

What man is a man that does not make the world better?
I think what is being lost in the last several posts was the idea of the OP: that removing PVE is not an innovation.
"Friends" lasted 10 years and is still in syndication on multiple channels to this day. What happend to "Joey"?
The Jedi's lose in "The Empire Strikes Back." There were massive seige battles in "The Two Towers."
You don't make good sequels by removing core items from the original i.e. WAR had only 2 factions but 6 realms. WTF were they thinking?!
If the only progression is through RVR, then all skill levels and experience values will have to coexist on one team. After 7 days, you will have first time players, day 2-3 players, and day 7 players. Let's say this game is a /level 50 version of DAoC. The experience factor of knowing your character is going to be huge.
"Oh, everyone that plays will figure it out enventually," is what one reply will be. Well, the lack of respec'ing, lack of practice, and lack of experience in a PVP only game will lead to some bad builds.
"That's ok. It will create more replayability." The only reason for alts in DAoC was to give the player something to do instead of play their "main" in RVR. Why would that be necessary? Because RVR can go dead. Groups can become full and no one is making more. After you spent an hour filling your pug, you got stomped twice and everyone left.
If the game is: log on, find a group, go fight another realm, gain some xp, build my skills, log off. Then it's too late, that game is League of Legends.
"Oh but its not 5v5. Its 100v150v1000 or more. And its not a sandbox. You can go anywhere." You're correct, the teams are unpredictable but the concept is not. And only very rarely did a 3 realm fight happen at once on DAoC. Sometimes you got backdoored during a seige, but typically, it was good strategy for realm A zerg to avoid realm B zerg while attacking realm C. And "you can go anywhere?" Really?! The sandbox may be much larger than your typical MOBA. But the RVR area is still contained with boundaries; it is still an arena. Just because you don't see the walls from where you standing, doesn't mean you aren't in a room.
Do I like PVE? Nope. I hate it. But did I look boot camp either? Hell no. But I know it was necessary in my progression in order to become a Marine.
If you eliminate PVE, you're putting rifles in the hands of children. The last Americans that did that lost the Civil War.

Very suprised I got the last word on this topic. I'm going to guess that most are too concerned about how they will become a career crafter in a game that revolves around PVP. I personally love the idea about some farmville in the middle of the game.
The whole notion of removing PVE and making CRAFTING more intense is poppycock.

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

It sounds more like a scheme to gather interest based on the rose-colored memories of old DAoC fans.

The UDAR Party hopes that at least 15% of the electorate will support its party list at the elections to the Verkhovna Rada, party leader Vitali Klitschko has said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
Klitschko said that the opposition parties would participate in parliamentary elections "in different columns" and have a chance of gaining a landslide victory over the ruling party and its satellites.
"We, for example, expect to garner at least 15% of the vote," he said.
At the same time, Klitschko said that his party was ready to defend election results.
"We are preparing to defend the votes of citizens, including the votes for our party and for the parties that are not associated with the current government. We will work with civil society organizations, Ukrainian and foreign observers and journalists," Klitschko said.
He said that the main peculiarities of the current campaign were "a tough government apparatus, betting on bribery, rather than persuading voters, as well as the absolute ignorance of the government of the opinion of the public and foreign partners regarding the fairness and transparency of the campaign, and attempts to create conditions for a possible fraud at the stage of the formation of the commissions."
The parliamentary elections in Ukraine are scheduled for October 28, 2012.

1-In-6 Children Suffer Speech Difficulties
A new British survey indicates that a surprising number of children are unable to speak words by the time they reach 3 years of age.
The YouGov poll of 1,015 parents of children aged 1 to 7 also revealed that boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to have trouble learning to speak English words.
The average age for a baby to speak their first word is between 10 to 11 months, with toddlers typically speaking up to 300 words by the time they reach 2 to 3 years of age, according to the children's charity I CAN.
However, 4 percent of the parents participating in the survey reported that their child had said nothing until they reached the age of three.
Such late speech development can sometimes lead to low scholastic achievement or mental health problems.
The survey found that a baby's background was not a factor in how quickly they learned to speak. Indeed, babies in day care were just as likely to have late speech development as those left in front of the television all day.
"We know there is a golden period for developing children's communication between 0 and 5 and that early intervention is vital if children are struggling," said I CAN CEO Virginia Beardshaw in an interview with Britain's Times Online.
"Chatting to your child, playing word games, pointing things out and having fun together every day all give your child the right start to communication," she said.
Speech therapists recommend that parents interact as much as possible with their babies. This should include reading stories and talking to their children as well as encouraging their babies to begin speaking.
The survey found that 34 percent of girls spoke their first word before reaching the age of 9 months, compared with just 27 percent of boys.
Overall, 16 percent of parents reported that their child had difficulties learning to speak. However, among parents of boys, 25 percent reported such problems.
Nearly 95 percent of the parents surveyed recalled their child's first word, with the most common (15 percent) being "Dadda", followed by "Mama" at 10 percent. Other top words included "cat", "car" and "no". Some parents reported their child speaking unusual first words, such "beer", "gadget", "hoover" and even "tits-up".
Girls were able to connect words at an earlier age than boys, with one-in-five girls having done so before the age of 1, compared to one-in-six boys.
Nearly 25 percent of the parents who reported that their children had difficulties learning to speak did not receive assistance.
"It has lifelong effects for children in terms of their ability to learn to read and write," said Jean Gross, the British government's new adviser on childhood language development, in an interview with the Times Online.
Childhood health goals are too focused on obesity and immunization at the expense of more subtle problems, she added.
All of the parents surveyed said they had told stories, looked at picture books, sang nursery rhymes and played word games with their children. But children with more affluent parents enjoyed these activities at a younger age than those from less affluent families.
Eighty percent of parents were aware that if their child mispronounced a word the correct action was to repeat it back to them correctly.

The U.S. 20/23 entrance to southbound I-75 reopened about 5:30 p.m., Monday, after crews cleaned up a spill from an overturned tractor-trailer, Perrysburg police said.
The truck was hauling about 33,000 pounds of steel forgings that spilled onto the ramp when it rolled onto its side early Monday afternoon, police said.
Authorities said the driver of the semi was taken to St. Luke's but additional information on the driver's identification and injuries was unavailable.

Welcome to the Neighborwood by master paper craftsman Shawn Sheehy is at once a breathtaking work of interactive art and a fact-filled exploration of the great outdoors. Young readers learn about the habits and survival skills of seven different creatures through pop-up models of the places they call home.

FSF Publishes New Quick Guide on GPLv3
The quick guide gives a short and understandable explanation of the objectives of version 3 of the GPL; recent discussions on GPLv3 had caused many developers to forget the generic purpose of the license – guaranteeing the freedom of software development.
The document briefly recapitulates what the General Public License (GPL) aims to achieve. The author goes on to explain the changes between versions 2 and 3 of the GPL, and the motivations behind the changes citing three threats to freedom. One of them is tivoization, named after the Tivo digital video recorder that contains GPL'd software but prevents users from modifying the GPL programs by validating a digital signature. The other two threats that led to changes in the GPL are Digital Rights Management and Microsoft's patent covenenant. The author also refers to interfaces to other licenses. The author of the Quick Guide, Brett Smith from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), has posted the guide on the FSF announce mailing list.
The changes introduced by GPLv3 include new compatibilities to other licenses, as shown by the graphic from the Quick Guide.
The Open Source community can view the text as an impetus to understand the GPL as an opportunity rather than a bone of contention or a threat. Brett's short, informal announcement closes with the words: "We hope this serves as a useful resource for developers considering adopting GPLv3 for their own projects." Shortly afterwards a senior Red Hat developer commented: "Excellent job, Brett."
The guide is available online, or as a PDF document, and as a zipped tarball in text only format. According to GNU's Who Brett Smith has been with the Free Software Foundation since 2002, and has worked as the Chief Webmaster and Shipping Manager, before becoming the "licensing guru" at the FSF's licensing and compliance lab which provides "the public with a "knowledge infrastructure" surrounding the GNU GPL and free software licensing, and enforcing the license on FSF-copyrighted software."

DALLAS The project to build a $35 million streetcar line between downtown Dallas and North Oak Cliff got a green light on Tuesday.
Environmental clearance was granted for the 1.6-mile line from Union Station to the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Beckley Avenue.
That means DART can find a contractor to install the track across the Houston Street Viaduct the and begin buying streetcars using a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The streetcar will provide connections with with DART light rail, TRE and Amtrak trains and buses at Union Station.
"In addition to creating much-needed jobs for workers in Dallas, this proposed streetcar line will advance economic growth in downtown neighborhoods by linking them with major employment centers throughout the region," said Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff in a written statement.
There are future plans to add additional streetcar lines in Dallas.

2013 F800GS forks and rims
Since it has been a lot of complains regarding F800 forks and rims, do anyone knows if these issues have been resolved on 2013 model?
Same Rims, but the forks are WP. :evil
I am curious to know this as well as I am soon to be purchasing either an 800 or the KTM. Really like the 800, but needing to upgrade suspension and wheels on an already pricey bike seems like a bad plan.
I still doubt that BMW has done any real upgrade to the forks like - gasp - making them adjustable or even just not crimping the cartridges so that they could at least be revalved...
But maybe PatrickM will expand on what he heard and where.

I would say the horses mouth is in Germany, and this is what the Motorrad DE site says:
I'd bet money on the fact that the forks are the same between the US and Germany, and that Motorrad USA simply screwed up.
Wanna bet against me? :deal
The US site (http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/us/en/index.html) lists the forks as 45mm so it's the same as the German one.:D
New fork, why do I say this? This was a recollection from about two weeks back, but I'll try to explain what I do remember.
This came in from my dealer when the bike was in for her first service (9/15). He noticed a leak and proceeded to tear down the fork.
At that point he noticed that the fork seal was a different size, and I want to say 43mm. He went looking in the US for a replacement seal and there weren't any in the CONUS. He checked the parts diagram and saw that the Germany site wasn't up to date with the new 2013 model and that there were only 10 (5 sets) of those seals in DE anyhow (so he requested an overnight of a set of seals). In addition, because of the different size of the seals he said BMW hadn't released an official tool to do the job.
They cleaned it up and put it back as best they could. Told me to keep an eye on it and if it happens, be prepared to take it in again.
In conclusion..
1. No fork seals available in the US
2. No updated tool to manage/replace/repair the seals
3. Only 10 available in Germany
4. Having to overnight replacement seals
This leads me to believe it's a different fork. If it were the same fork and seal, they'd be able to swap it out with the parts they had/have on hand.
