The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.- C.G. Jung
Accidentally told i guy i loved him once when I meant to say that i love air conditioning. Oops. Yes, I make mistakes, I am only human. However, I don't play that game of "what if?", I've made my choices and don't regret them, it's how I've become the perfectly awesome person I am today. I am financially secure, enjoy trying out new foods and adventures, and I do stop to enjoy the moment. Hoping to adopt a child someday, but not really thinking of having (creating) my own children. Friends say I have a big heart, that I'm funny and know they can always count on me. I love trying out new things whether on vacation or locally. I can find fun in the most mundane activities, life is really all you make it about. A good match would be someone who stops to smell the roses, likes to go out, but doesn't have to in order have fun and can enjoy a relaxed night at home too. My match must love small dogs, as I have a dachshund and a poodle mix, and they don't like cats. Must be a NONSMOKER and SINGLE (not separated). A not so good match, would want to rush into a relationship, is recently divorced, only wants a physical relationship, is and addict, or is emotionally constricted. So there you have it, a silly, self sufficient, family girl who really just wants to enjoy life and would like to find someone who can share in the journey.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals

By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 01 November 2012 02:39PM
Sourry was speaking at the launch of the Sustain Ability Challenge, which will record 12 families across the UK over the next six months as Unilever, in partnership with the Futures Company, helps them in reducing their monthly food bill by 15% and their household rubbish by 25%.
The Sustain Ability Challenge feeds into Unilever's overall Sustainable Living Plan, in which the company aims to halve its overall environmental footprint.
Sourry said: "Food waste is one of the biggest issues that we know we need to deal with as consumer business in the UK."
Sourry explained that Unilever had focused its latest initiative on documenting and helping to change consumer behaviour towards food waste because 70% of the product's sustainability journey lay with the consumer, from the point of purchase to how it is disposed of.
The remaining 30% depended on Unilever and the way the company sourced its products and handled its supply chain.
She said: "We have been doing a huge amount over the years in our own supply chain to prevent waste happening, and we will continue that journey, but we want to deal with the 70% that is in the consumer's hands and how to drive that.
"I am looking forward to taking these insights and using them productively within our business for long term solutions.
"We want to help people not just to adopt new behaviours, but to stick with them," she added.
Speaking to Marketing ahead of the event, Nora Costello, brand building director for Unilever's savoury, dressings and snacking division, said the company saw the Knorr brand as having "tremendous potential" to benefit from the results of the challenge, which could be seen in upcoming marketing campaigns for the brand.Follow @loullamae_es

Working Paper Number 88 May 2006 Will Debt Relief Make a Difference? Impact and Expectations of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative By Todd Moss Abstract The Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) is the latest phase of debt reduction for poor countries from the World Bank, the IMF, and the African Development Bank. The MDRI, which will come close to full debt reduction for at least 19 (and perhaps as many as 40) qualifying countries, is being presented as a momentous leap forward in the battle against global poverty. However, the analysis in this paper suggests that the actual gains may be more modest and elusive. This is not because, as some anti-debt campaigners fear, that the initiative is a mere accounting trick. Rather, the limited short-term financial impact of the MDRI on affected countries is because the debt service obligations being relieved were themselves relatively insignificant. For example, in 2004 the average African country in the program paid $19 million in debt service to the World Bank, but received 10 times that amount in new Bank credit and more than 50 times as much in total aid. Just as importantly, finances are rarely the binding constraint on poverty and other development outcomes. This is not to say that the MDRI is futile. Indeed the impact could be considerable over the long-term, especially on the ability of creditors to be more selective in the future. But most of the impact of the MDRI will be long-term and difficult to measure. As such, expectations of the effect on indebted countries and development indicators should be kept modest and time horizons long.

As such, expectations of the effect on indebted countries and development indicators should be kept modest and time horizons long. 1 Todd Moss (email@example.com) is a Research Fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington DC. A version of this paper first appeared as "The G8's Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative and poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa" in African Affairs, Volume 105, Number 419, April 2006. The author thanks Nancy Birdsall, Steve Radelet, and David Cowan for comments on an earlier draft, and Scott Standley for research assistance. All errors are solely those of the author. 2 Introduction In 2006 the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the African Development Bank (AfDB) will implement the next major phase of debt reduction for poor countries. The plan, now known as the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI), was first agreed by the G8 in June 2005 and has since been approved by the boards of the international financial institutions. The IMF has already begun implementation, and the World Bank and AfDB will follow suit beginning in July 2006. The MDRI has promised it will erase 'as much as 100 percent' of the debts owed by qualifying countries, the vast majority of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. Although this is being presented as a momentous leap forward for Africa and the battle against global poverty, the actual gains may be more modest and elusive. Hopes for a transformative impact on poverty―or even a meaningful effect on the cash flow of African treasuries―are unlikely to be realized. This does not imply that the MDRI is meaningless, but rather that the potential benefits are far from certain, likely to be long-term, and are not of the kind that many activists or observers may be expecting. Origins of Africa's debt burden For much of the post-independence period Africa has seen rising debt levels, at least up until the mid-1990s. In 1970 the external public or publicly-guaranteed debt stock for all of sub-Saharan Africa was just $5.7 billion (or $22 billion in 2003 dollars).2 This grew steadily throughout the 1980s and peaked at $190 billion in 1995 before settling at around $177 billion at end-2003 (see Figure 1). This represented a rise from about 13 percent of regional GNI to over 100 percent by the mid-1990s before dropping to around 70 percent in 2003. At the same time, the debt service payments increased from about $2 billion (2003 dollars) in 1970 to over $12 billion in 1985 before sloping back down. The debt service ratio also rose and then fell roughly in parallel (see Figure 2). 2 All aggregate debt figures exclude South Africa. The main source for debt data used throughout this section is the World Bank's Global Development Finance. 3 Figure 1 Sub-Saharan African Debt Stock 225 125 200 PPG Debt Stock (2003 US$ bn) – Left Scale 100 175 PPG Debt Stock/GNI (%) – Right Scale 150 75 125 100 50 75 50 25 25 0 0 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 20 20 20 20 Note: All data excludes South Africa.

Source: 2005 World Bank Global Development Finance database 4 For many of the larger developing countries which have faced debt crises, such as Mexico and Brazil in the 1980s, the problem can be traced back to unsustainable borrowing combined with rising global interest rates. For nearly all African countries, however, the story is very different. Few African governments have had access to private capital markets and almost all their borrowing has been from official sources, such as bilateral donors (like the UK or Japanese governments) or the multilateral agencies, especially the World Bank, IMF, and the AfDB. Unlike private creditors, these institutions provided loans at very low fixed interest rates with long grace periods. For example, the loan terms for the International Development Association (IDA, the low- income window at the World Bank) are 40 years at 0.75 percent interest and a ten year grace period. Instead, Africa's debt problems are mainly the result of slow economic and export growth, combined with the perverse effects of the international aid system. Countries borrowed funds on extremely soft terms, but they were still unable to repay the loans because those investments never produced the expected gains. Thus the rise of Africa's debt ratios (debt stock/GNI or debt service/exports) is in many ways not so much a problem with the numerators growing too fast as it is of the denominators growing too slowly (or for many countries not at all). This is why there is very little divergence over the past three decades between the absolute figures and the ratios. Africa's real growth of GNI has averaged just 1.1 percent since 1970, far less than population growth. If the region had instead grown at a modest 3 percent (assuming borrowing was the same), its current debt would be just 37 percent of GNI instead of 70 percent. If the region had grown at 5 percent, the ratio would drop to only 19 percent (Figure 3). Repeating this exercise for exports shows similar results, with the debt service ratio dropping from the actual rate of 6.8 percent of exports to only 3.7 percent if export growth had been a modest 3 percent. It is true that long-term secular declines in the prices of some commodities produced by African countries may have suppressed export levels and exacerbated the problem. But the most important factor in the emergence of the African debt problem has been the underlying lack of expansion in real income or exports. 5 Figure 3 Sub-Saharan African Debt/Income Ratios 140 120 Actual (growth of 1.1%) 3% growth scenario 100 External PPG Debt Stock/GNI (%) 5% growth scenario 80 60 40 20 0 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 20 20 20 20 Note: All data exclude South Africa. Source: 2005 World Bank Global Development Finance database and author calculations. Another factor in Africa's debt burden has been the way donors, and the multilaterals in particular, allocate loans. Most of the bilateral donors have shifted from loans to grants, leaving the World Bank and the AfDB as the main source of loans for many African countries. IDA, for example, uses a score, the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), to skew its resources toward better performing countries. This makes operational sense, but since IDA is a fixed pool of resources that gets distributed each year based on the CPIA, there is no consideration of any country's particular debt sustainability. The part of the World Bank that worries about debt levels is not the same part that determines new lending. Ironically, this results in some of the best-performing countries―Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Mozambique―requiring the most debt relief. The Bank hopes to avoid repeating this problem in the future by increasing the use of grants within IDA and by implementing a new framework linking debt levels to new lending (IMF/IDA, March 2005). Past debt relief As early as the 1970s, bilateral creditors began writing off debts to some low-income countries. Over time, the Paris Club of official creditors added ever softer terms for low- income countries: Toronto terms provided 33% debt stock reduction in 1988, London terms of 50% in 1991, Naples terms of 67% in 1994, and then Cologne terms of 90% in 6 1999. Most African countries used these facilities to restructure and reduce their debts in the 1980s, with many countries returning to the Paris Club repeatedly. Indeed, between 1980 and 2000, 17 African countries reached six or more different agreements with the Paris Club. Many of the bilateral creditors also went a step further than Cologne terms and gave 100% write-offs. By the mid-1990s, Paris Club reductions did not seem to be achieving the aim of debt sustainability and the calls for more widespread relief were mounting. The new president of the World Bank James Wolfensohn, whose tenure began in 1995, was also convinced that more needed to be done to help poor countries cope with their debt problems. The following year, the Bank and the IMF, both of which had resisted debt relief in the past for legal and practical reasons, conceded and created the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. HIPC provides extra relief for those countries that still exceed a defined debt sustainability threshold (mainly a debt stock-to-export ratio above 150 percent) after a Paris Club write-down of bilateral stock. If a country qualifies and meets other performance criteria, they are deemed to reach 'decision point,' where interim relief is provided. If the country stays on track with its reforms and shows that any savings from debt relief are being used wisely, then the country can reach the 'completion point,' which is for irrevocable relief with permanent write-downs of debt stock. In 1999 the HIPC initiative was enhanced further and the terms were softened again. Uganda was the first country to benefit from HIPC, entering the program in 1997 and reaching completion point in May 2000. As of May 2006, 40 countries are HIPC-qualified (33 of which are African) and 19 of these (15 African) have reached completion point (See Table 1). There are eleven 'pre-decision point' countries, which could still qualify before the current sunset of HIPC at the end of 2006.3 3 Eritrea, Kyrgyz Republic, and Haiti were added in 2006 and Laos and Burma were removed. 7 Table 1: HIPC countries, as of May 2006 Completion Point Decision Point Pre-Decision Point Benin Burundi Central African Republic Bolivia Chad Comoros Burkina Faso Congo, Rep.

The MDRI Despite increasingly generous debt relief programs and nearly a decade of HIPC, many of the participating countries were still complaining about debt service obligations. Because bilateral debt was reduced through the Paris Club and most of the bilateral creditors have now switched from loans to grants for the poorest countries, the remaining piece of HIPC debt was owed mainly to the multilateral institutions (Figure 4). Thus, in 2005 the major economic powers—which also happen to be both the main creditors and the controlling shareholders at the multilateral institutions—agreed to tackle this residual debt once and for all. The Commission for Africa (2005), chaired by Prime Minister Tony Blair, also called for 100 percent debt cancellation for sub-Saharan Africa. These trends all helped bring about a major conceptual shift: for the first time, the major international financial institutions accepted the premise of moving toward full debt relief. 8 Figure 4 Composition of sub-Saharan African HIPC debt 100% 90% 80% 70% PPG private 60% 50% PPG bilateral 40% PPG 30% multilateral 20% 10% 0% 1970 1980 1990 2000 2003 Source: 2005 World Bank Global Development Finance database. In the lead up to the G8 Summit at Gleneagles, it was clear that some new mechanism was likely to emerge. The UK proposed that the donors assume responsibility for debt service and just make payments to the multilateral institutions on behalf of the indebted countries. They argued that this would free resources in poor countries to spend on other priorities and that it would also ensure 'additionality'. The US made an alternative proposal also to move to 100 percent relief, but to have the World Bank and IMF cover the lost income from internal resources. The Bush administration suggested that the Bank simply net out any debt service from new IDA credits to each country. The main benefit of this option was that, unlike the UK plan, the debt itself could be taken off the books, cleaning up the accounts for both the creditors and the debtors. The effect on cash flow for debtor countries would be neutral and it was thought more politically viable since it would also not have any budget implications for the donors. (A third European proposal was also floated which tinkered with the existing HIPC debt sustainability threshold, but this was rejected by both the UK and the US.) Ahead of Gleneagles, a compromise was reached. The eventual MDRI is based largely on the US proposal, but also includes additional resources 'dollar for dollar'. Some of the non-G8 members, along with World Bank staff, had raised strenuous objections to the plan, claiming that it might imperil the Bank's future financial health since there was no guarantee that shareholders would cover any lost revenue. The US had initially dismissed any such concerns since reflows from HIPCs represented such a tiny proportion of Bank income, but the Europeans maintained that it might become a 9 problem in the future. This final hurdle was overcome at the last minute through the signing of an extraordinary letter by the leading finance ministers pledging to compensate the World Bank for any lost future income from forsaken reflows. (There is no such provision for the IMF, which is expected to use resources from previous gold revaluations and other internal resources.) The major shareholders also have tried to avoid some of the problems of re-lending to HIPC countries by creating an expanded IDA and AfDB grant window for the poorest and most-indebted. What should we expect from the MDRI? The MDRI achieves what debt campaigners might have thought impossible just a few years ago: close to full debt relief for some of the world's poorest countries.4 What then are reasonable expectations of the effect of this achievement for the previously-indebted countries? A good place to start is to assess the various costs of high debt which should soon be lifted. 'Drop the debt' was always partly a moral argument that it was unconscionable for poor countries to pay money to rich ones. But proponents also made a more practical claim that money spent on servicing debts took away resources from other priorities, such as social services. Additionally, there are three other areas where high levels of debt are thought to have possible negative effects and where debt relief might therefore have a lasting positive effect: growth, policies, and institutional development. Social services and poverty Activist appeals for debt relief are typically justified on the basis of diverted resources, thus the common comparison by Jubilee, Oxfam, and other campaigners of the size of debt service versus other spending such as education or health care. The implied argument here is three-fold: (1) countries unwillingly spend money servicing debt that would otherwise be used on social services; (2) money is a crucial binding constraint on raising welfare; and (3) the size of debt service is big enough to have a meaningful effect on those outcomes. If these are all true, then nearly 100 percent debt relief should lead not only to vast increases in social services spending, but also have an immediate positive impact on poverty rates and other developmental indicators. Unfortunately, there are problems with all three propositions. There is some evidence that social service spending has risen following debt relief in the past. The IMF for instance claims 'poverty reducing expenditures' in HIPCs has gone up from 6.4 percent of GDP in 1999 to 7.9 percent in 2004. However, it is far from clear that this is the result of debt relief given the increasing trend of donor earmarking for social services. This is non-trivial since aid inflows average nearly 60 percent of total public expenditure in the 15 sub-Saharan completion point HIPCs. 4 In practice, countries will not get 100 percent relief because the MDRI does not cover commercial debt or any residual bilateral debt. In addition, the multilateral portion has cut-off dates for eligible debt stock, end-2004 for the IMF and the AfDB and end-2003 for the World Bank. 10 Second, there is an extremely weak connection between expenditure and development outcomes. Greater health care spending does not mean better health and more money for schools does not necessarily mean more kids in school. Empirically, there is no relationship between, say, average expenditure on education and school enrolment or between health expenditure and child mortality. There is a long literature exploring this apparent paradox, with most of the evidence pointing toward problems deeper than funding levels, such as weak management, poor quality services, and in some cases low demand (Filmer, Hammer and Pritchett, 2000). Whatever the reason in each country, it simply cannot be assumed that shifts in spending from debt service to social services, if it occurs, will lead to vastly improved living conditions for Africa's poor. Third, the scale of resources involved in the MDRI is relatively small. Although HIPCs have been complaining loudly about the burden of servicing World Bank debt, the size of such flows has in reality been almost insignificant. The 15 African HIPCs paid on average $19 million in debt service to IDA in 2004. But that same year, they received on average $197 million in new IDA credits and $946 million in total aid. In other words, the debt service they paid to the World Bank was less than one-tenth of what they received from the Bank in new money and less than one-fiftieth of all aid inflows. This suggests that the short-term increase in resources from the cancellation of IDA debt obligations would be on the order of 2-3 percent of total aid receipts. Since aid flows to these countries over the past decade has typically fluctuated (up or down) by about $150 million per year, it is difficult to imagine that the savings will make a palpable difference.5 5 Although these figures suggest that the financial impact on HIPCs from the MDRI will be negligible in the short-term, the effect could grow over time; by some World Bank estimates (subject to various assumptions), the overall cost could possibly reach about six times current levels by 2026. 11 Table 2: Resource flows to African HIPCs, 2004 (US$ millions) IDA debt service New IDA inflows All ODA Benin 11 37 378 Burkina Faso 9 130 610 Cameroon 19 97 762 Ethiopia 21 476 1823 Ghana 39 288 1358 Madagascar 24 308 1236 Mali 17 70 567 Mauritania 6 42 180 Mozambique 5 194 1228 Niger 6 72 536 Rwanda 5 144 468 Senegal 29 166 1052 Tanzania 41 474 1746 Uganda 30 300 1159 Zambia 16 156 1081 average 19 197 946 Source: OECD, World Bank In addition to the small scale of the potential savings from debt relief, it is also clear that there will be no financial windfall for qualified countries from the MDRI by design. As per the agreement, any savings from forgiven IDA debt service obligations will be netted out of future IDA flows to that country. Since IDA is allocated through a formula including a measure of poverty and the CPIA performance score, countries will earn a theoretical IDA allocation but actually only receive that amount minus what they would have repaid IDA had the debt not been cancelled. The compromise for extra resources kicked in by the donors stipulates that this additional funding is not earmarked for those specific countries, but rather goes into the general IDA pool for allocation through the normal channels. Since many of the HIPCs are also among the top scorers on the CPIA they may see an increase from the slightly larger pooled reflows, but since this pool goes to more than 60 countries, any increase will necessarily be significantly smaller than their individual debt service savings. Economic growth A large literature has addressed the links between debt and economic growth (Pattillo, Poirson and Ricci, 2002). The most common explanation is the so-called 'debt overhang' whereby a high debt burden dampens the incentive to invest because investors expect that distortionary measures may be taken such as higher future taxes. This delays potential investment, discourages long-term investment in productivity, and can create liquidity shortages. Despite these possible channels, empirical studies have failed to identify whether such a debt overhang exists, with the evidence particularly unclear for the low- 12 income countries (perhaps because they receive so little private investment). Given this ambiguity, hopes for a significant boost to HIPC country growth rates from the latest debt deal appear unrealistic. Policy reform dynamics Unsustainable debt is itself an indicator of poor management and weak policies. Indeed, all of the HIPCs are in the midst of major economic reform efforts of some kind. However, the presence of high debt and debt service obligations may create policy pressures that undercut some of those very reforms by distorting policy dynamics, such as encouraging an overly short-term orientation or a weakening of public support for reforms. The nearly full debt cancellation possible under the MDRI could therefore provide a boost to the recipient governments undergoing reform, especially if lingering debt has been a barrier to pushing through changes. However, there is little evidence that past debt relief has led to detectable policy improvements, again suggesting that the short-term outcome is likely to be modest (Chauvin and Kraay, 2005). A potentially important effect on policies from full debt cancellation could be on the creditor side. There is strong evidence that creditors engage in defensive lending (making new loans mainly to cover old ones) and that this undermines the ability of donors to be selective in their allocations (Birdsall, Claessens and Diwan, 2002). If the debt is no longer a factor in lending/grant decisions, then donors could find it easier to direct their resources to better-performers and to withdraw assistance from non- performers. Although it is merely speculation at this point, this could be a strongly positive effect. (If this does occur, it could be another unexpected outcome for debt relief campaigners who have generally advocated softer donor treatment, not tougher selectivity enforcement.) Institutional development High debt, through the contribution toward ongoing fiscal crises and by the heavy administrative burden on weak public institutions, may also impede the development of capable states (Radelet, 2005). Many of the HIPCs not only face capacity constraints in public administration and budget management, but they often struggle even to provide basic public services. Debt management is one essential if complex responsibility of the state and requires high levels of technical skill and political influence. Measuring the administrative cost of managing debt is difficult, but Paris Club rescheduling is one possible proxy. Each time a country goes to the Paris Club it involves a huge set of analytical, legal and negotiating skills monopolized for months at a time. Unsurprisingly higher debt countries return to the Paris Club more often (Moss and Chiang, 2003). Senegal has sought rescheduling 13 times since 1980, while Madagascar and Niger have done so 10 times apiece. Much of the time and effort committed by public officials to debt could now be redeployed in other more productive areas. Although this is conjecture, this might have a positive long-term impact on state capacity. But even in a best case scenario, such benefits would not become evident for many years and the cause would be hard to attribute. 13 Conclusion The new MDRI will significantly cut the debt stock levels of a core set of indebted low- income countries. It is likely that neither HIPC nor the MDRI would have been agreed had anti-debt activists not used emotional appeals to poverty reduction to build support. Juxtaposing debt service against social services and high levels of need in poor countries has undoubtedly been politically effective, both with the wider public and with policymakers. However, the actual short-term financial impact for the affected countries is unlikely to have a meaningful effect on either government finances or on poverty reduction anytime soon. The numbers are simply too small and finances are often not the binding constraint. In other words, debt relief is not likely to have a huge effect because the debt burden was never as harmful as campaigners frequently claimed and the channels in which debt affects development are different than commonly believed. This is not to say that the MDRI is not a good idea, but rather that most of the impact, if any, will be long term and difficult to measure. As such, expectations of the effect on indebted countries and development indicators should be kept modest and time horizons long. 14 References Birdsall, Nancy, Stijn Claessens and Ishac Diwan, "Policy selectivity foregone: Debt and donor behavior in Africa," CGD Working Paper 17, Center for Global Development, Washington DC, 2002.

'Maleficent' Teaser Trailer & Images: Disney Sends Angelina Jolie to the Dark Side
Posted on Wednesday, November 13th, 2013 by Angie Han
In the original Sleeping Beauty, there's little debate that Maleficent is one nasty fairy. She curses a child to death; she kidnaps a prince; she refers to herself as "the Mistress of All Evil," for crying out loud.
But Disney's upcoming Maleficent aims to muddy that perception a bit. In this live-action retelling, Maleficent (played by Angelina Jolie) starts out as a perfectly sweet gal before tragedy hardens her heart. The first trailer for this dazzling fantasy has just hit the web, and you can watch it after the jump.

text: Full Fat Farm in NY's finger lakes is looking for an intern for the 2013 growing season. We are a small off the grid homestead whose goal is to become food self-sufficient while growing the most nutrient dense produce possible. Over the last several years, we have been incorporating Biodynamics into our organic and biological (soil building) farming practices, and have had good luck with planting, cultivating and harvesting by Maria Thun's calendar. Now we are moving toward making the preparations and innoculating compost this spring so we can spread it this fall. We practice intensive rotational grazing with our livestock: a dairy and a beef cow, one goat, a couple pigs, and a flock of laying/meat birds(dual purpose). Intern duties would include moving fences, milking, planting, harvesting, cultivating/weeding, making and spreading compost, cooking, canning, freezing. The food we provide is nutrient-rich, fresh, and delicious. Apprentices usually stay in our house for the season in our extra bedroom. Accomodations are rustic. We are located in a remote, beautiful, hilly spot surrounded by state forest, at the end of a dirt road, so it is quiet up here. We are a family of 4 with 2 daughters age 6 and 4.

OWC, a.k.a. Otherworld Computing, showed off primarily three new products: the Accelsior, the Viper, and the KR. The Accelsior is a storage system using PCI-Express to serve up SSD blades. Configured in RAID 0, the drives were capable of more than 1300 MBps read and a very impressive write speed. The Viper is a new SSD that OWC claims will saturate a SATA III 6 Gbps connection at its 600 MBps maximum. Lastly, OWC shows a ridiculously awesome 200 ft drop test on its KR series of iPhone 4/S and iPhone 5 cases. These cases are built to withstand some serious punishment. Check out the video for more on OWC's CES 2013 lineup.

The SX300 is the worlds first 384GB mSATA solid state drive. The AE400 is a multi-use device that can act as a WiFi extender, media player for Smart TV's, portable wireless storage and much more. The SE900 is a Thunderbolt portable solid state drive. ADATA also showed us the next generation of mSATA technology that will launch when Intel's Haswell platform launches.

OCZ has had their ups and downs over this past year as we explained in our review of their brand new Vector solid state drive. This year at CES OCZ is really only announcing one consumer product, which is the Vector PCIe Solid State drive. If you remember OCZ's Revo drives this is the same type of drive except it is based on the new Barefoot 3 controller that we saw in the new Vector drive. Read on to check it out!
Jan 04, 2013 Bob Buskirk Reviews, Storage 4
This is officially the first consumer solid state drive from OCZ that is using the new Barefoot 3 controller. This new controller is designed completely in-house by OCZ. OCZ is touting this new drive as the standard for performance users and it offers sequential read and write speeds of 550MB/s and 530MB/s respectively. The Vector is available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB versions and OCZ is backing it with a 5 year warranty. Will this be the drive that saves OCZ and puts them back on track or is the the last ditch effort of a dying company? Time will only tell.

Solid State Drives are becoming the more cost effective upgrade to the traditional home computer. Adding a solid state drive will speed up Windows boot up time, will allow your applications to load faster and make data transfers much easier. Today we are taking a look at Kingston's latest solid state drive, the SSDNow V300. This drive boasts sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/s, which is about 7-10 times faster than your traditional hard drive. The V300 is also Kingston's first drive to use Toshiba's 19nm NAND flash memory. Kingston is aiming the V300 at consumers who want to get the most for their money. Read on as we take a look…

It has been a really long time since we have reviewed a product from Mushkin. Mushkin has mainly been known for memory products, but like most memory companies have moved into the storage realm with solid state drives. Today we are taking a look at their top tier SATA 6GB/s Chronos Deluxe Drive. The big difference between this drive and the normal Chronos is that it uses premium Toshiba toggle mode NAND memory and the Chronos uses asynchronous NAND memory. This is the new 7mm drive as well, so you will be able to use it as an upgrade for thin devices like your Ultrabook. Read on as we take a look at the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Solid State Drive!

Thanks for following up on that comment, Mr. Daykin. Is this a topic that you or one of your colleagues could dig a little further into? I think we'd all be very interested to know the "specifics" that Mr. Fleming "opts not to share." You know, what with wanting transparency in government and such....

How do I move large number of former employee mail to vault?
We have a number of former employee email stlil in Exchange 2003. We've migrated the current users to new Exchange 2010 mailstores. The fomer employee accounts are disabled. The former employee user objects are in their own OU and I do have another EV policy to run against them but EV won't archive unless their user accounts are enabled (AFA I've seen).
Is my only recourse to bulk enable a block of "x" former employees at a time and let the EV task run overnight?
This leads to a follow up question. The reason these former employee mailboxes have not been fully archived is b/c we're required to disable these accounts the moment the employee leaves the building for the last time. There's no window to allow EV to run against the associated mailboxes. How does everyone else out there handle vaulting of former employee mailboxes?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Comments 9 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You have a few options:
a/ Use our tool called Archive Leavers
b/ Enable the EV registry key to process disabled users:
With a 0 day archive policy, and enabling the archival of disabled accounts like Rob mentioned above. We follow almost the exact same exit procedures and handle it in this way. Please keep in mind that vault will only archive 1000 items per night, so if the user was especially heavy mail user it may take a few nights to get their entire mailbox archived. Once the mail is archived you are free to delete the exchange account as well.
If I was helpful in solving your issue please mark my post with a thumbs up or a solution! Have a great day :)
I've been testing the (free) Archive Leavers tool from Quadrotech, and it works like a charm.
Main advantage is that it archives everything immediately, and removes old shortcuts, effectively leaving you with an empty mailbox. If you are ok using that tool I suggest doing that, as that requires the least amount of effort.
See here: http://www.quadrotech-it.com/products/evtools/free/archive-leavers/ for more information.
Thank you, Gertjan, MCSE, MCITP,MCTS, SCS, STS

Ok, humor me while I ask a question and let me know if I'm overthinking this.
I was considering creating a new vaultstore partition for these former employees. Most of them have archived email in another EV vaultstore partition already. Once I enable archiving of disabled users, a new mailbox policy will be applied to these users. So will all there archived originals move to the new vaultstore or will it remain and just existing non-archived mail get archived to the new vautlstore?
If it's split, is that ok?
A new vault store partition won't make any difference.
A new vault store won't either.. just when you re-enable them for archiving they'll end up with a new second archive in the new vault store.
Is that okay?
2 archives?
That's up to you really. I would personally do it that way .. at all.
Sorry, yeah I was typing too fast for my little brain to keep up :)
I meant I would NOT do it as you suggested. Having two archives is just a pain, in my opinion.
Do you ever worry about the partitions getting too big? All my current vault stores are on LUNs now, but we migrated to NetApp not too long ago so now I'm considering moving all the vaultstores to CIFS shares (a separate discussion altogether).
My FSA vault store already has three different partitions due to disk space limitations. My Mbx (aka Exchange) vault store has two different partitions, again due to disk space issues.
If new vault store partitions don't make a difference, and they can't get "too big", then it looks like I should migration my existing vault stores to CIFS first before enabling archiving of disabled users, correct?
Well we're talking a different issue now, right?
LUN size, and partition rollover, should really be a different forum thread than this one, in my opinion.
