Backing up Exchange 2013 with Backup Exec 2012
My Backup Exec 2012 (Version 14.0 1798.1244) is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I need to Backup Microsoft Exchange 2013. Is this newest Mailserver supported by Backup Exec 2012?
How do I know (are there any additional features in the GUI of Backup Exec 2012), if the Exchange Management Tools for Microsoft Exchange Server are already installed on Backup Exec 2012?
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
...they aren't installed on or in Backup Exec. They are stand-alone Microsoft installations installed on Windows.
BE just references them during backups and restores.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
You would need to install BE 2012 SP2 to be able to backup Exchange 2013. However GRT backup is not supported. See the SCL below
BE does not install the Exchange Management Tool. You would have to do it yourself.
The SCL does not mention the need for the Exchange Management Tool to be installed on the media server. Since GRT backup of Exchange 2013 is not supported, I think there is no need to install the Exchange Managment Tool. You would need to confirm this with Symantec Tech Support.
after spending thousands of dollars for upgrade to get to a point where we can backup server 2012 and exchange 2013 i find this error which is very frustating
Subject: Backup Exec Alert: Job Failed (Server: "SERVER") (Job: "FullBackup Week1")
(Server: "SERVER") (Job: "FullBackup Week1") FullBackup Week1 -- The job failed with the following error: This operation is not supported on 32-bit media servers because Microsoft does not support 32-bit Exchange Management Tools for Exchange Server 2010. You must use a 64-bit media server for this operation.
come one really no backup solution really
There will be support for Windows Server 2012 in BE 2012 R2...but that Beta only begins in the new year.

Everson Griffen is ready to start, but needs to embrace system change
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- Everson Griffen is entering his fifth year in the NFL, but he knows there's still plenty he has to learn.
Griffen, 26, signed his first major contract (five years, $42.5 million) on Tuesday after one career start since the Vikings drafted him in the fourth round (100th overall) of the 2010 draft.
"[The coaching staff is] going to teach us technique, how they're going to teach us to be a smarter football player, how to be a more disciplined football player and the reason I know that is because [Mike Zimmer] is a disciplined guy," Griffen said on a conference call Tuesday. "He wants the most out of you."
You'll hear about Griffen's lack of experience, even though he played a higher percentage of his team's snaps last season than Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, who also re-signed with his team before free agency opened. In the same vein you'll hear some laud Griffen's sack total (17 in the last three seasons) because of his relatively lower playing time -- but his snaps were always set up that way. That will change.
Griffen is finally set to be a starter. He's "ready" to be. He said so nine times in his conference call.
But that roughly equates to 250 [25 percent] more snaps than he took last season. What Griffen's new contract really entails is a pressure to compete consistently, no plays off; a pressure to buy into first-year coach Mike Zimmer's system, which isn't predicated on sacks, and a pressure to be the on-the-field leader his salary cap says he should be.
Jared Allen is gone. There's a new sheriff at right end.
"They signed me to this deal for a reason. They have high expectations of me on and off the field, not just on the field, and off the field, too. I've got to be a man in my household and I've got to be a leader on the field with these guys," Griffen said. "I've got to earn their trust and I've got to earn their respect."
At 57 years old, this may be Zimmer's first head coaching job - but it's not his first attempt in maximizing the production from an either previously underachieving or underused defensive lineman.
A major part of that is getting the player to embrace major change in how he plays.
"I've always taken guys in Cincinnati, Dallas and gotten them to believe that this is the right system for them. I've always used guys in the right way, but I've also got them to believe that this is a team game," Zimmer said last week. "This isn't an individual game. I don't know how, but I'm going to continue to do it.
"I've taken guys, you look at Carlos Dunlap. He was no more of a team run player than anybody when we got him or guys that we've had as free agents. La'Roi Glover when we got him in Dallas, he never had been in the left-handed stance before so I don't have any problems convincing guys to do it, but I'm upfront with them in the beginning: 'This is what I expect, this is how we're going to do it and this is what we're going to do.'"
Griffen was primarily used as a pass rusher in his first four seasons. Of his 1,389 snaps across the past two seasons, 900 [65 percent] of those were pass plays, per ProFootballFocus.com. That's how he got 13.5 sacks in the last two seasons.
While his sack totals may climb with more playing time, don't expect Jared Allen-type production.
Griffen will play more as an every-down player, but he's going to play differently.
A key to Griffen's future success will be buying into Zimmer's system, one that asks its defensive linemen to stop the run first. Even if the Vikings have enough depth along the defensive line to shift Griffen into the interior on passing downs - more than two-thirds of the time he'll be asked to crash the line of scrimmage and/or contain a running back first before looking to take down the quarterback.
The Vikings went all-in on Griffen with this contract and it sounds like he's already bought in.
"These guys here, they know how to use their players. I feel that just talking to the coaches that I sat down with a little bit, they know how to use their players, they know how to put you in the right situation at the right time to make a big play," Griffen said. "I just feel with [Zimmer's] mastermind skills and what he brings to the table, he's going to use not just me, he's going to use every single player on the team the right way and that's what we need. We've got all the talent in the world but when all the talent is used right, then the sky is the limit."

Why Does Judaism Make No Sense?
In praise of tribal rituals
Yesterday, my sister threw out some scrambled eggs. I asked her why. She said because she accidentally mixed them with a spatula that was used for milk, and the frying pan was used for meat, and that meant the eggs were no good. I asked her why. She said because that's the halachah. I asked her why. She said, "Because."
There are so many things like this in the Jewish religion. Don't play musical instruments on Shabbat. Why? Because you might come to fix one. So what? You're not allowed. Why? Because. Don't mix wool and linen. Why? Because.
Tell me, Rabbi, is this a sensible religion?
No, it is not. And your first mistake is to believe that Jews do these things for any particular reason. Jews do these things because they are Jews.Your first mistake is to believe that Jews do these things for any particular reason. Jews do these things because they are Jews. Keeping kosher is not a reasonable act, and neither is Shabbat, or the prohibition against mixing wool and linen. The same with Torah readings, bar and bat mitzvahs, black leather boxes, or dipping in the mikvah. These are neither rational nor religious acts—in the modern understanding of "religious." They do not speak to the modern mind because they are not of modernity. They are ancient tribal rituals, preserved by a people obsessed with their history and their tribalism.
A few words about tribalism as the sociologist sees it. Sociology became a science with the publication of Emile Durkheim's monograph on suicide in 1897. Durkheim was a nice Jewish boy who had studied in yeshivah to become a rabbi, like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather before him, but then left to think for himself and challenge his teachers at the Sorbonne. In his paper, Durkheim blamed most of society's woes (especially suicide) on the abandonment of tribalism. He coined the term anomie, which means a state of society where nobody knows who they are, what they have to do with one another, or what on earth they're doing here. Durkheim demonstrated, through the first methodological, scientific study of a social phenomenon, that in turn-of-the-century France, suicide was the realm of the tribeless—meaning the Protestant and the agnostic. Catholics and Jews rarely committed suicide. Because they felt no anomie.
What this runaway yeshivah boy ironically demonstrated, and others after him confirmed, is that a human being without a tribe is like a polar bear without ice—he can survive, but he'll be awfully confused. It's through his relationship with the tribe that a human being knows that the earth beneath his feet is solid ground, that tomorrow is a day like today, that he is who he is and it's okay to be that way. Take the tribe away, and none of that remains necessarily true.
Ask any social worker: Take an aboriginal person off of skid row and plop him back in his tribe, and he's a healthy specimen of life. Rip a wild kid out of that stolen vehicle and make him part of an extended, cohesive family, and he calms down, becomes manageable.
Most social illnesses arose when society grew beyond the tribe. As Jared Diamond points out, tribes are egalitarian. It was chiefdoms and states that gave one man power over another. Communism, socialism, the checks and balances of the modern capitalist state—all of these are attempts to make up for the primal trauma that society experienced as it emerged from its cocoon of the tribe.That is the best description I have of this enigma we call the Jewish people: A Bronze Age tribe residing smack at the vortex of modernity.
Which is the astonishing thing about the Jewish people: We never left the tribe behind. Actually, that is the best description I have of this enigma we call the Jewish people: A Bronze Age tribe residing smack at the vortex of modernity. That's also the best way for me to explain those rituals, sacred objects, sacred spaces and mystic occasions that are such an anathema to the modern mind. It's true—they are absurd within the framework of the rationalist mind, just as polar bears would be absurd hunting for walrus in the Sahara. Kosher garments, Shabbat technicalities and taboo scrambled eggs are downright bizarre outside the context of tribalness—as are the thrice-daily incantations, the black leather boxes, the dip in the mikvah, the candles before sundown, perhaps the entire gamut of the Jewish experience. But tell me, just how much are you in love with the anomie of the modern mind? In Yeats' classic portrayal of the modern mess:
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned . . .
The center cannot hold because there is none. Because modern man is a figment of its own imagination. He defines himself, his world and his place within it each day anew according to the temperament of that day. He is his own point of reference, and therefore he has no center, only periphery.
Let's back up. What is the place of ritual within the tribe?
Richard Sosis, an anthropologist at the University of Connecticut, has put a lot of thought and research into this question and published prolifically on the topic. Sosis observed tribe members who maim their bodies in initiation rites, others who risk their lives in celebratory dances, and even one particular Middle Eastern tribe in which male members would stand for hours shaking back and forth, dressed in fur hats and hot woolen clothes, reciting ancient incantations before a stone wall under the blazing sun of Jerusalem. Sosis was bothered by the seeming counterproductivity of these rituals. "Why," he asked, "does human society universally develop rituals that do not contribute, but rather severely detract from reproduction and accumulation of food and resources?"Rituals deal with something more essential than intellect. Rituals deal with identity.
His answer: Rituals deal with something yet more essential, something that precedes the intellect. Rituals deal with identity, the context in which intellect functions. Identity in turn is the glue by which a tribe is held together. Specifically, Sosis demonstrates, we're speaking of rituals that are attributed meanings that cannot be falsified (read: can't prove it, can't disprove it), involve significant risk or sacrifice on the part of the individual ("too risky to fake"), and are performed together or in concert with other members of the tribe. If there's no risk, you haven't proven anything to anyone, not even yourself. And if it all makes perfect sense, then you did it because it makes sense, not because of who you really are.
It's like bringing your wife flowers or buying her diamonds. Now does that make sense? Good money gone to waste on items that provide no utility. But that's just the point: If it would make sense to you, it would mean nothing to her. It's only when we do the irrational that we establish firm bonds of commitment and joint identity.
Within the Torah cosmology, non-falsifiable ritual has yet a greater place. The mitzvah-rituals not only bind the people together as a cohesive whole, but also bind the people to an underlying truth that is wholly transcendent and unknowable, sometimes known as G‑d. That is really the essence of Jewishness, and the secret of Jewish survival as a tribe: The covenant. Yes, other tribes have their particular deities, totems and worships. But with the Jewish people, that covenant with the Unknowable Maker of Heaven and Earth is our defining truth. That is who we are, and without it we are not.
So, how do I establish, sustain and perpetuate a covenant with a transcendent, unknowable G‑d? If I cannot affirm my commitment to another individual through something that I do because it makes perfect sense to me, all the more so can I not establish an eternal bond with an infinite entity by means of cute little acts that fit neatly within my puny brain. The only true bond is through the super-rational. Like those black leather boxes on my arm and head.All the Jew, from head to toe, must be involved. That includes the brain and heart. But the prime motivation is "I'm a Jew."
Does that mean nothing is allowed to make sense? Not at all. This Infinite G‑d desires a bond with the entirety of each one of us—with our hands, our feet, our hearts and, yes, even our brains. If nothing would make sense, then the brain and heart would be left out of the equation. So, He provides opportunities to bond through mitzvahs that make sense as well, like don't steal, visit the sick, honor Mom and Dad. Even the ones that transcend reason—the ones we call chukim, such as the prohibition against wearing wool and linen mixed together, or eating meat cooked with milk—these as well have been provided a kind of reasoning that works within a certain realm.
Yet nevertheless, when it comes down to the prime motivation for all of them, for everything Jewish a Jew does, it's because "Hey, I'm a Jew, and this is what Jews do." In other words, it comes down to our covenant with a G‑d that we never quite figured out, and don't really expect to. But we do His stuff because, hey, we're His tribe.
Like throwing out those eggs. It's a bonding experience. Do it with love.
I've learnt more about Judaism and the beautiful way a Rabbi thinks.
May G-d bless Rabbi Tzvi and his family.
The only difference between then and now is that we are no longer living in separate Jewish communities. Instead, we are swimming upstream in a non-Jewish world, and it is difficult to swim upstream all the time.
I do not know which mitzvos you find lack meaning, but it was long ago noticed that many mitzvos are "chookim"--meaning there is no way to understand their point.
Their point is that we do them simply to express love for Gd because that's what he asked us to do. To look for a heksher on a can or box is to say, "I love You, Gd, and I have faith that You have Your reasons for asking us to do this."
The very fact that it makes no sense--not that we can see--makes it an act of faith and love to do it anyway.
It's not religious to throw out the eggs. It's not rational either. It's just that this is something we do.
Be here now. Be aware of what you are doing and thinking. That's actually very modern. But it is also a by-product of living Jewishly.
Notice which spatula you are using on those eggs.
And do it lovingly.
Abstaining from this or that is not a ritual. A ritual is something one DOES, not something one abstains from. Calling it a "taboo" fails to make it a ritual.
E.g., shopping for kosher food. Each individual does it on her own, using dozens of hekshers (besides OU which all accept). I do it by cooking from scratch.
Wearing this or that is not a ritual. A ritual is something one DOES, not something one wears.
We are a tribe with a certain way of life, with few rituals.
OK, the bris.
But we avoid defining ourselves as the only humans. (In many tribes their name for themselves is the name, in their language, for "humans". Ask who they are and they will reply with something which means, in their language, "We are THE people.")
As you say, we see ALL as human.
But I would have thrown it out if nobody had been around to eat it.
With the same attitude as the way I shop for kosher food or for utensils.
With the same attitude as the way I choose a kosher restaurant.
With love.
I could remark on the way our children turned out, but she can't help the fact that she, not being a Jew, has no tribe.
I will note that she later wed a nonobservant Jew. They seem very happy together.

Eventually the Jews will all unite around the core idea of Chassidic Judaism. The ways to get to this point are as numerous as the Jews are. Yet time is pressing and some of us are getting restless.
If the Jew, even for a fraction of a nanosecond, would sense, even intuit, the Divine Love behind the most puzzling chukim, those laws without rational explanations - and he/she CAN, because that's what being Jewish essentially means and that's the Response G-d really is after- he/she would drop every inquiry as to the reasonableness of it. There might, - and as Rabbi Freeman hints to - there probably is an "explanation" behind the chukim ( I personally suspect that it is a Pure and Simple 'I LOVE YOU'), yet it completely would lose its urgency for the Jew touched by Divine Love.
If all this sounds arrogant and/or pathetic to your ears dear friends, then you have no inkling of an idea how it feels for a Jewish human heart to be exhaustively dedicated to its G-D. But you will, eventually you will.

After that, you can build architect. Just ignore architect quest on island for now until you upgrade handy.
Hi, Papa smurf is asking me to build Architect's house,however I can't see it anywhere on the menu item – how do you fix this? Thanks
You need to complete Papa Smurf's quests FIRST in the main village. Don't go to the island yet. Complete all the quests in the main village to upgrade Handy's house, then you can see and build Architect Smurf. Fyi, Architect Smurf can only be found on the island's build menu, next to Slouchy.
hi guys and any other andriod users please help. my game is on a htc and i can now update my phone and would like to transfer my game. i emailed beeline, they replied there was no way to do this but they would transfer my sbs that i have bought. Great news about the berries but i'm on lever 41 and its taken months to get this far and i really dont want to start again please help
I upgraded the last version but instead of the percentage showing in the bar a big number shows instead and I cannot proceed in levels..what shall I do?
Beeline has normally released an update that should fix it.
Does anyone know why the new update isn't compatible with HTC desire??
No you need to ask Beeline that question we are only a fan page
I cannot even download the new update for android. My device says: Not enough memory although there is lots of it (12 GB should be enough or am I wrong?).
You might want to e-mail Beeline for technical assistance.
i have the same situation
i have the same situation can somebody help me?
me too i can't upgrade ,same thing happened…
Me too Anyone got any info about it yet.
If helpful, Use this link is to download the app so download it and install over previous one… May fix some problems….. Do not Unninstal current app Just install New one over it…
my name is Zain Rizvi
pls add me on android from fb
my id is :- https://www.facebook.com/inszain
There is a update for IOS and when I updated, NOTHING EXCEPT THE ICON OF THE GAME CHANGED. SAD:(. WHY? I already tried to reboot my device. It did not work. And I love updates. HELP!!!
Have you realy looked at al the placec because there are not many thing in this new update that been showing immediatey
For the Android user rafts issues can be fix… Tap several times on the rafts house you"ll be able to rebuy it…. Put it over the current one and upgrade it again rafts Will appear again
New SV update for Apple ver. 1.2.0:
– Smurf Hut Customizations by Handy Smurf
– Architect Smurf customizes huts in the island
– Clockwork Smurf comes to the island
Sadly no "farmer smurf" for the island yet. 😉
Yup saw it too, we'll provide more info as soon as we can.
Still rafts are not fixed! So much for patching it up!
Mine isnt either.
My two rafts never work!
You can try to buy the raft house again and place it over the old one in this way you maybe can get your rafts back but it only works on android and you need to tap on the raft house in the menu a several times before it works because it will say that you already have bought it
Jeee thx Sassete! I lost all three of my rafts at once 2 weeks ago. I tried your tip and it worked! Only downside is that you have to pay again to update the raft house, but at least I have my rafts back!
Thank u guys!!
One of my rafts revived~~!
I have a quick question. I've lost 3 of 4 rafts, where they have never come back (2 weeks), but I didn't lose the smurfs. Since I have only used $ to purchase/upgrade the Raft Hut and not SB, can I remove the Raft Hut and rebuild it and get 4 new rafts? Thanks.
Yes you can try to do that
i update it just fine…. and somehow on star section, there's a HUGE collection of limited edt critters like red, purple, green, blue color crab, 4color mouse, purple butterfly, 4 color squirrel, ducks, ice cream wagon, baby smurf toy, baby smurf teddy, porcupine, bat some statue, even red bird with nest, and mole (that havent come out yet in IOS ver)… it's good for some that missed the chance to buy them… (no clock indicate you have to hurry up ticking too) but the problem is, it cost HUGE LOT of SB too!!! *sob…my sb…* and still no painter smurf or vanity smurf…..
The bat looks Great in my village
the bat looks Great in my village
Everyone who is having the problem outlined above should contact beeline. I have, but i got the impression from their reply that they are not taking it too seriously. The more people who email them, the more they are likely to to something about it. Myself, I'm giving them another week before uninstalling.
Finaly after weeks of waiting an upgrade. It proves my point that beeline is not serious with android. After downloading I get a strange language all the time which is annoying. Also smurfberries are gone again and the dam on the island. Thanks who can informed me what to do
My village isnt working either and I was on level 17 (after restarting once already), I contacted beeline but they dont seem to be able to do anything. Anyone got any ideas?
loving the update i can finally travel to my island and the game doesnt crash. we now have all critters. although beware I bought a teddy for 8 sb but i think I was charged more.
Smurf's Village completly disappeared from my Google play store So I am not able to update my game… Anyone have the same problem? I'm on Android version 2.2.2. Maybe this version does not support Smurf's anymore..? Help!
I also facing the same problem.. My device is SGS GT-I9000. Google Play is telling me that my device is not compactable with this version release….
Pls fix fast as I doesn't want to miss those limited critters, duck and etcc……..
Hello! Can you send me the apk for the new 1.0.7a version? I have a problem with Android Market/Google Play. Thanks a lot!
We are not beeline and can't send u anything.
If u dont see the app in the market, that means the app is not compatible with your device.
The update is totally of, my bridge is gone, houses are missing andi can't reach nt island anymore. What's wrong. How can I get my things back?
reboot device. If still doesnt work then u need to restore your village. See recovery link on right side of webpage
Hi Brainy, for those of us stuck on the main menu at play this update does nothing to address the quitting back to home screen. The more and more I read many Android users are still stuck at the main menu and restore village does not work.
Hi I just upgrade village but still nothink works for me way way I cant play when I press play button and nothing wouldnt let me play.
Can I unistall and install game so I can back too my smurfs or I lost everythink plaese help also send mail too support but no respond jet
No , uninstalling on android will delete all game data.
Beeline page https://getsatisfaction.com/beeline_games
Support firstname.lastname@example.com
Yeah me too..
Been 2 weeks since my app wont open. Just updated to the latest version but stiil doesnt solve my problem, the game close instantly when i click on play button.
Tried everything, Reboot device – Play on Airplane mode – Recovery village, but stiil..
Already contact beeline , waiting for their good news..
Same here Lukacz. Update did nothing for frozen games.
glad that i am not the only that face this problem. beeline does not respond to my mail either. i hv not been playing the game since a month ago. i know my hubby happy that i dont play but i am so upset, please help friends.
Is there limited time stuff in this android version like ios?
we dont know, sorry
Can you tell me when yo know?
sure i can… btw, how to send the pic??
it is not glitch. they are available on android for SBs too.
Are you able to upload a pic to photobucket and post the link here?
Brainy, rebooting did not solve the problem. I had to restore the old game but that cost me smurfberries and a few longduring tasks…. On the island I lost the new house…. Bummer
sorry, i dont hv photobucket account and when i tried to sign up, its somehow error… but i dont think it's a glitch, since smurf village in my sister's galaxy s and my friend's LG optimus have those limited-edt-bazaar as well….
Thanks Jenny. I'll check my android village when I get home tonight.
I have send a email to Beeline. For those that are interested in there respons:
We do apologize, and thank you for your bug report. Unfortunately, there is no timeline for a fix, but our development team is aware of the issue and they are already working on it. We hope to have a solution soon. Thank you for your support and patience.
I really hope it will be fixed soon!
Actually also items bought with smurfberries…. I have 3 smurfettes houses… Unfortunately Just one smurfette after closing and reopening the app the other 2 dissapear
hi I have all of those items too as well as a jumping fish on my island way cool! have most android users been able to rebuy their raft house i tried repeatedly tapping on it but couldnt get it.
I did click the link but it says page not found. How i get back to my last quest.

10 Movies Millennials Must See to Understand the 1970s
The era of devils, divorces and disasters, captured on film.
June 27, 2014 - 9:00 am
I knew things were bad when, a few years ago, I actually found myself missing the Seventies.
Many, many American movies made during the Seventies share one overarching theme:
America is falling apart!
Tim Dirks' must-read, 6-part overview of the films of this era begins with this highly-concentrated, perfectly observed paragraph:
Motion picture art seemed to flourish at the same time that the defeat in the Vietnam War, the Kent State Massacre, the Watergate scandal, President Nixon's fall, the Munich Olympics shoot-out, increasing drug use, and a growing energy crisis showed tremendous disillusion, a questioning politicized spirit among the public and a lack of faith in institutions — a comment upon the lunacy of war and the dark side of the American Dream.
Our own Ed Driscoll has done yeoman's work chronicling that decade's "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" leftwing auteur boom: the death of the studio system, and the rise of hot young directors – Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese — whose visions still inform American film, and the culture at large.
(See also A Decade Under the Influence and Sexplosion: From Andy Warhol to A Clockwork Orange.)
Most recently, Kyle Smith proffered his "10 Best Films of the 1970s."
My list is different than Smith's because the "best" films of that era (and I agree with many of his selections) don't necessarily capture the mood of the times as well as lesser movies.
What follows is a guide for millennials who are forever hearing about "the Seventies," are living with that decade's toxic cultural fallout, and who wonder what life during this tumultuous time (although, aren't they all…?) was really like.
That's why I've neglected to mention anachronistic or overly escapist fare: all the bloated feel-good musicals; anything by Disney, Mel Brooks or Cubby Broccoli; all but one of Woody Allen's "early funny ones"; sweeping pseudo-period Oscar bait like Barry Lyndon, The Way We Were, New York, New York, The Sting and Funny Lady; and time-less blockbusters like Star Wars, Halloween and Rocky.
(Incidentally: most movies about the Vietnam War were made in the 1980s.)
However, I have included movies about the Seventies that were made later, if they accurately evoke the time period. Note: There are a LOT of these.
Ideally, curious readers should get hold of the ten movies I've chosen as exemplars of my ten different themes, then temporarily get rid of their computers and phones (because it's 1972, and "Ma Bell" still hasn't shown up to activate your line). Next put on some thick polyester clothing, and eat nothing but Cheesies and Orange Crush for the duration. (The Seventies were VERY orange.)
Close all your curtains to help mimic the sinister, suffocating atmosphere we marinated in.
And press "play."

This review was written and provided by Candy Little author of The Unwilling Bride.
Synopsis: Black Earth: End of the Innocence
Nathan, Heather and Cynthia, appropriately nick-named Sin, all go to the same school and church. Although their lives
are very different, their paths intersect to help each other. They must work together to save the world from meteorites and
They encounter a president who's goal is total domination, black fog that kills, an alpha hit team hired to alienate a church
youth camp and several more bad guys along the way. But, they are not alone. Alien beings from other planets have come
to Earth to try and stop Legion and save the human race. And Pearl, an immortal must find her own purpose in life by
helping the people of Earth.
Review: Black Earth: End of the Innocence
Although Science Fiction isn't my normal genre, I found myself caught up in this fast paced novel and couldn't stop reading. It is
a great take on the book of Revelations.
From page one, my heart broke for Pearl, an immortal who is trying to kill herself so she can go to heaven to be with her father.
No matter what she does, she can't die.
Nathan has just graduated and his parents don't bother coming to the ceremony. On top of that, his girlfriend is more interested
in flirting with another guy than congratulating him.
Heather is in love with Nathan but has never said anything to him because of his girlfriend. Trying to deal with the emotions of a
tragic car accident that left a baby dead, she goes off to a church youth camp. Missing Nathan isn't helping her feel any better.
Although Cynthia (Sin) has made a name for herself in school by sleeping around, it's hard not to feel compassion for her when
she is raped at a bar. The fact that she has a dominating, abusive mother, makes her life even more tragic.
Although I loved the plot and found the characters well rounded and believable, I do have a few cautions as far as the Christian
content. There is quite a bit of sexual content. The story line for Sin revolves around her having sex with many boys, but to
include women also, was more than I could take.
I also realize that Mr. Silver is a bad guy, so kidnapping and making sexual slaves out of women is believable, but it seemed overkill.
I got tired of reading the word "crotch".
Also disappointing was the story line for Sin. I would have liked to have seen her evolve more, and truly regret her actions. It felt like
she started to regret them a little, but never truly asked God to forgive her.
Most of the time I was able to keep up with the jumping around from character to character but a few times I got lost. I also found some
inconsistencies like Sin taking a pregnatency test when she'd just been rapped the day before. A test won't show anything for a month.
Over all I would highly recommend this book, and for only .99 you can't go wrong.

When your daughter has been kidnapped and thrown in the trunk of a taxi, you're gonna want Malin Akerman on your side. At least, that's what the producers of Medallion are thinking. THR is reporting that the blonde is in negotiations to star opposite Nicholas Cage in the action thriller. Cage is playing the father of the kidnapped girl, while Akerman will play his ex-girlfriend who helps him get her back.
Here's the twist – they're both retired thieves. So if you think that they're going to recover Cage's daughter without drawing upon some good ole' fashioned thievin' skills…then you just don't know movies very well.
Simon West will be directing, having worked with Cage before in his debut, a quirky little thinkpiece called Con Air. Filming starts in New Orleans in March, with no release dates specified just yet.

The Best Kava Kava Root Liquid Herbal Extract Information
Kava Kava root liquid herbal extract is also known by its scientific name, the Piper methysticum which is a tall bush in the pepper family that is abundant in the South Pacific Islands. In the Pacific regions, this was considered to be a good alternative for alcohol. It can be utilized as a celebratory drink, but more often used for the religious rituals of the people.
The plant has been used to relieve the symptoms and manifestations of anxiety, restlessness and sleeplessness. Also, stress related symptoms may be relieved when the plant is taken. It can be used as a pain medicine. These can either be taken on its liquid form or chewed in its physical form. This will produce the numbing effect that they want to have.
The taste can be characterized as pungent by most users and the unique aroma is usually characterized by the muddy odors. Colors may range from grey to an opaque greenish material for the people. According to native tribes, chewing is said to have a stronger effect as it produced the finest particles and is more potent. The strength would be dependent on the strain or variant of the whole plant.
For those who are taking the whole thing, there may be some side effects that may manifest. There are cases where the plant is said to have caused the liver failure of healthy people. Ideally, it is essential to consult a doctor first when using the medicinal herb. This should not go along with the same thing.
The popularity of the drink has led some businesses to produce a soda which has been marketed as an anti energy drink. This drink is said to produce a calming effect without the muddy taste that the drinks are usually associated with. These products are also marketed as a ready to drink beverage for many people in the area.
There have been concerns about the plant and the liver. Even the Government agency assigned to regulate these products has filed up some reports that would allow them to make it. However, the clinical trials that have been conducted have not found the liver toxicity as opposed to the claims of adverse reactions that some people had.
The conventional medicines and other diets may cause some side effects and may trigger a few allergic reactions which would interact with the prescription. Some of the known side effects or interaction with the other medicines might make the medical condition worse. This should be taken cared of for the time being.
This should not be taken by people who have Parkinsons Disease. This is because of the possibility of the medicine to interfere with the Dopamine levels. Experts believe that it should not be combined with alcohol and other medications that are meant for insomnia and anxiety. It could also be an additive for the better thing.
Today, most formulations only contain the synthetic kavain for economic and health reasons. It is primarily used in many social gatherings which increases the feeling of being relaxed. The kava kava root liquid herbal extract is a popular herbal cure and drink in the pacific islands.

'Scandal' star enjoys giving good tweet
FILE – This May 16, 2011 file photo shows actor Joshua Malina at the Academy of Television Art and Sciences' event with the cast and producers of "Scandal". Malina, who plays U.S. attorney David Rosen on the series, relishes having a presence on Twitter, talking about "Scandal" or whatever else. His tweets can range from biting to witty to as he described them in a recent interview, "self-promotion and dumb jokes." (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — It's not coincidental that the stars of "Scandal" live tweet during episodes. They're encouraged to do so.
When several of the show's actors recently visited New York to promote the premiere of season three, ABC made sure to book Kerry Washington on a Login to read more

Archaeology and Religion, 2016
Activities: Theatre
Hometown: Columbus, OH
High School: St. Francis de Sales High School
Most Influential Professor: Dr. Gabriel has given me a new love for science. I never enjoyed science classes in high school, so I dreaded my science courses in college. Dr. Gabriel creates a relaxed, comfortable learning environment and uses fun games and his sense of humor to put you at ease and make science fun. He's taught me that just because I haven't done something well in the past, doesn't mean I can't do well in the future.
Favorite Part of Class: Within my majors, there's a lot of room for interpretation. Dr. Knauth is wonderful at giving us the opportunity to form our own interpretations. She starts by giving us an example of how she interprets something based on evidence. Then, she opens it up to the class by explaining her interpretation isn't necessarily the right one, because there are many interpretations and everyone sees something different. I enjoy exploring her interpretation and then forming my own.
Getting Involved: One of the things I love most about Lycoming is that you don't need to have a major in theatre to participate in performances. So far, I've been cast in five shows! There is literally something for everyone in theatre. If acting isn't your thing, we're always looking for carpenters and painters for set design, tech experts for lighting and sound, designers for costumes and sets, and someone to sell our tickets. I wouldn't want to spend my time outside of class any other way.
Advice: Don't be afraid to take risks. College is the ideal environment to take advantage of new opportunities. You can try so many different things in college, whether it's a class, a club or an activity. Take advantage of it, because you never know when you'll have some of these opportunities again!

Low Tech but Highly Delicious: Gummy Bear Chandelier
Part of an entire series of gummy bear sculptures by YaYa Chou, this chandelier looks both tasty and retro-chic. But we can't help but wonder how long it will hold up. It seems like only a matter of time before it's either devoured in a nostalgic munchie fit or melted by the light bulbs into a swirling, sticky rainbow… »

TL6P: With a stunning 1650 lumens, the TL6P is the larger of our two canister technical lights but with a number of great features and upgrades from the TL6, the TL6P remains popular with many types of divers. One important upgrade is a mesh strain relief cord cover to protect from wire kinks or stress, as well as plastic strain relief on connection points. The second upgrade is that a switch mechanism has been added to the light head for ease of use; this means there is one magnetic rotary switch on the light head with three power settings and also a magnetic slider switch on the battery canister with two power settings. A focused 8 degree hot spot beam with a 70 degree periphery beam make this light aversatile choice not only as a technical light, but as a handheld canister lightfor multiple uses. The light is sold with a battery canister (P/N: BATCAN2.2) with a replaceable NiMH battery cell pack (P/N: BATCELL2.2). For longer battery life, we recommend the XL-size battery canister (P/N: BATCAN4.5). Accessories included with the TL6P include a hard aluminum Goodman-style handle and a smart charger with quick and slow charge options outer edge. The insulating magnetic switch protects the battery pack from becoming flooded and allows Hi-Lo output settings. The light is equipped with a thermal protection system that prevents light overheating by cutting power off due to prolonged use on land. The entire system (Light Head, Goodman Handle and Battery) weighs 61.24 oz (1,736 g) on land with a Negative Buoyancy of -23.28 oz (660 g) underwater.
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.

Vernon Scott was the head of the Ideal Amusement Company, according to Boxoffice of October 2, 1937. The item said that the Vernon Theatre had opened "…at the turn of the year…." I guess that would mean either December 31, 1936, or January 1, 1937.
At the time of Scott's death in March, 1942, the Ideal Amusement company operated a circuit of 14 theaters. Scott was succeeded as President of the chain by former general manager F.X. McClellan.

About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Practical, Relaxed
I use it all the time as a pretty purse. I like the strap and the deepness of it as nothing will fall out. I do wish it had a zipper just in case as I am known to throw it into the car etc. so far nothing has fallen out. My stuff is easy to find in it. I am anxious to reverse it and use the leather side. Great purse!

RTS Stock Exchange to calculate first Siberian Index
RTS Stock Exchange to calculate first Siberian Index
RTS Stock Exchange has today launched a new benchmark index for Siberian-based companies – the RTS Siberia Index. This is the first regional stock index to be launched within Russia and is in cooperation with the Inter-regional Association for Economic Cooperation of Subjects of the Russian Federation "Siberian Agreement".
RTS Siberia Index is the first regional indicator that tracks ten enterprises in the Siberian Federal District. The new capitalization weighted index helps investors to monitor the investment attractiveness and economic development of Siberia firms.
RTS Siberia Index is a joint project of RTS Stock Exchange and the Inter-regional Association "Siberian Agreement" carried out under the Agreement on cooperation for increasing the economic potential and investment attractiveness of enterprises in Siberian Federal District.
In addition to analyzing the investment attractiveness and development potential of the region via the performance of its stocks the index is also designed to meet the legal requirements for the composition of specialist investment funds, thus making it eligible for the creation of tradable index investment funds.
The RTS Siberia Index constituents and their sector classifications include:
- PJSC Belon (Raw materials)
- OJSC Sibirtelekom (Telecoms)
- OJSC "MMC "NORILSK NICKEL" (Raw materials)
- JSC "RusHydro" (Utilities)
- JSC "WGC-3" (Utilities)
- OAO Raspadskaya (Raw materials)
- JSC Gazprom Neft (Energy)
- JSC "TGK-11" (Utilities)
- OAO Southern Kuzbass Coal Company (Raw materials)
- MDM Bank (Financials)
The new benchmark will provide a solid information support to government initiatives in Siberia including in carrying out major investment projects, developing inter-industry connections and positioning the Siberian Federal District in the integrated economic space of Russia and on the international level.

Rugby Football Union chairman Martyn Thomas stands down
Martyn Thomas has stepped down from his position as chairman of the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
The announcement comes as the RFU's disciplinary officer published a report into the ousting of former chief executive John Steele in June.
It is understood Judge Jeff Blackett's conclusion called for Thomas's resignation along with nine non-executives on the management board.
He will remain acting chief executive until a permanent appointment is made.
The rest of the management board have survived after a vote of no confidence was reported to have been defeated by a majority verdict.
In a statement released by the RFU, Thomas said: "This was a difficult day for the Union but at the end of the day this does now mean we can finally move on.
"The most important thing was that we maintained stability for staff and our other partners and in the coming weeks I will be ensuring that we navigate to calmer waters and that we can get on with our core purpose of rugby."
The RFU council discussed the 52-page report's findings in a four-hour meeting on Sunday.
The full report will not be made public, but an executive summary will be put together by the panel in "a timely fashion".
Thomas, who was made RFU chairman in April 2005, will remain chairman of Rugby World Cup 2015 - which is being staged in England and Wales - and will stay as an RFU representative on the International Rugby Board.
His decision to stand down leaves the RFU without a permanent chairman or permanent chief executive.
Blackett said he was pleased the report was received in "the spirit it was delivered".
"As guardians of the game [the] council had some important decisions to take and discussions were robust and emotive in that regard," he commented.
- June 2010 - John Steele appointed chief executive, tasked with undertaking a "comprehensive review" of the RFU
- January 2011 - Steele's shake-up plans are approved by the management board, leading to creation of three key roles: operations director, development director and elite performance director, a position rumoured to be tailor-made for Sir Clive Woodward
- April - Performance director responsibilities are downgraded so as to no longer include the management of the senior England squad
- 12 May - Decision to change performance director role is reversed by management board, prompting "clear-the-air" talks between Steele and RFU chairman Martyn Thomas
- 19 May - Woodward formally withdraws from performance director recruitment process
- 9 June - Steele resigns following emergency board meeting
- 15 June - RFU disciplinary officer Judge Jeff Blackett begins wide-ranging inquiry
- 29 June - Rejigged RFU management structure confirms Thomas will stay on as acting chief executive, with Peter Baines as board chairman
- 10 July - Thomas stands down as chairman of RFU following release of Blackett's report
"I would like to thank my panel for a job well done and hope that as a game we can now draw a line under the events of the past few months and get on with rugby."
Oxfordshire RFU council member Paul Murphy will serve as interim chairman pending a special general meeting, when Thomas's permanent replacement will be decided.
That meeting, however, can not take place for at least 60 days, meaning the RFU will be without a chairman when the World Cup in New Zealand starts in less than nine weeks.
The standing down also raises the possibility of potential embarrassment for the RFU if no fixed chairman is in place when the World Cup is handed over to England as the host nation for 2015.
Murphy told BBC Radio 5 live that could be the case, but added that it was more important to appoint the right people to the jobs.
"We do have, I'd like to think, competent people standing in those roles at the moment," he said.
"In a lot of cases it's about getting the job done correctly and right. There's no need to rush things through."
Meanwhile, the search continues for an elite performance director, the handling of which was said to have been a key factor in the board's loss of confidence over Steele's position as chief executive.
Blackett's wide-ranging investigation reviewed the RFU's hiring procedures.
The review panel also comprised RFU council members Geraint Ashton-Jones and Malcolm Wharton, plus Andy Reed, chairman-elect of the Sport and Recreation Alliance, and Vic Luck, formerly general manager of IBM UK.
The panel interviewed more than 65 key figures, reviewed over 90 media articles and took on board the conclusions of an earlier review of the performance director recruitment process, conducted by RFU chairman of governance Peter Baines.
The report focused on the process of Steele's appointment in June 2010, as well as the circumstances leading to his departure after an emergency meeting last month.
The process of trying to fill the performance director role was also scrutinised in Blackett's investigation.
The job had seemingly been set up for 2003 World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward, only for the 55-year-old to formally pull out of the process following changes in the specification of the role.
Steele's removal from the job description of overall responsibility for the senior England team seemed to block the possibility of Woodward's return.
Shortly afterwards the RFU board reverted back to the original description but Woodward withdrew, stating his commitment to his post as director of sport with the British Olympic Association.
However, despite it featuring heavily in the report, Murphy insisted Thomas's stepping down was "not directly" related to the handling of the performance director position.
"We addressed a governance issue which was where Martyn was wearing two hats which everyone felt a bit uncomfortable about in terms of him being the interim chief executive as well as chairman of the board," added Murphy.
"He quite rightly helped us resolve it. He got a very good endorsement in terms of him carrying on in his role as acting chief executive.
"We must now start moving forward. It is a difficult time for the Union, there's been some issues about the reputation in the press.
"We need to start repairing these things."

This scholarship will serve as an inspiration to my family and me for the rest of our lives. Your financial generosity will allow me to achieve many of my goals and has inspired me to help others."
Linda C. Young, president, Wallace Community College, Jeremy Hester (David Whigham Mixson Memorial Endowed Scholarship), Chris McCain (Dr. Imogene Mathison Mixson Endowed Scholarship), and Dr. Imogene Mixson.
Dothan, Ala. – Wallace Community College presented two endowed scholarships during fall term 2013. Christopher (Chris) McCain, Skipperville, received the Dr. Imogene Mathison Mixson Endowed Scholarship and Jeremy Hester, Dothan, received the David Whigham Mixson Memorial Endowed Scholarship.
Dr. Mixson, a legendary educator and lifelong resident of the Wiregrass, endowed the Dr. Imogene Mathison Mixson Endowed Scholarship in November 2011 and the David Whigham Mixson Memorial Endowed Scholarship in June 2013 through the Wallace Community College Foundation.
"I am excited to endow a scholarship in memory of my late husband, David Whigham Mixson, my best friend and partner in promoting education," said Dr. Mixson. An Auburn University honor graduate, Mixson's husband was noted for "his vision, commitment to quality, hard work, and service." The scholarship in his honor will provide financial assistance to WCC students for years to come.
Hester is a pre-engineering student in the Nuclear Engineering Technology program and will transfer to the University of Alabama via distance education after completing his degree from Wallace. Jeremy is married and has an infant son. He maintains a 3.885 GPA and is on the President's list, all while working at Anderson Home Builders. The scholarship will help Hester obtain his goals while juggling work and a family. "I am a full-time student, a full-time husband, and a full-time father of a 5-month-old little boy named Emmett. I've been fortunate enough to work for a company that appreciates my desire to better myself and allows flexible hours," Hester said. "This scholarship will help ease financial burdens that cause unwanted stress."
Dr. Mixson began her career as an English teacher at Dothan High School before moving into postsecondary education. In August of 1982, she was named as an English Instructor and Chair of the Language Arts Department and subsequently moved into the role of Assistant Academic Dean at Wallace Community College. Dr. Mixson also served as the Academic Dean from 1983 to 1996 and was instrumental in expanding health sciences program offerings. She also served as Interim President at both WCC and the Alabama Aviation and Technical College. The contributions she made to Wallace Community College still impact instruction today, and she continues her commitment to education through these scholarships.

Customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are two different things. The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) scores that many dealerships and manufacturers rely on as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) do not really have much to do with building loyalty.

As CRM vendors bolt on different applications, the proverbial Swiss Army Knife philosophy emerges. Is it practical for cutting a steak? Or is it a 12-in-one tool with pliers, toothpicks, tweezers, and multiple blades – something complicated and bulky and not as simple as a serrated steak knife?
