Federal Reserve Banks Lackeys in Washington DC = much worse than very, very, very, bad guys
I suggest you use a blend of technologies:
RAIFT Redundant Array of Family Techs. You set up a central NAS with all the data which has a deletion date. Everyone has that much time to copy off and keep what they want. Sure some of the information will be archived more that once; but give each person an allowance and let them decide what is really worth keeping. Let them do all the hard work -- ya silly masochist.
Yep, I dumped the Big C 7 years ago for Juniper. Best part, "start shell user root" and you have a *nix environment When The Situation Requires.
The change a few years ago from 32bit Junos to 64 bit was tedious; but no major complaints about the hardware. The support OTOH needs a swift kick or three. Most problems you can figure out from the docs these days.
"This presupposes the client actually needs more advanced equipment."
Many SMB would like to grow, implement new products/services/foo, or just plain spend less time carving wheels from old process rocks. But, digging their rut from the limitations of their equipment, they forget to look up out of the rut just keeping the business going. Been There Done That Have the T-shirt
You'd be surprised how many SMB would spend for the used 3750 at $125 if that would remove just one process rock. For example, this one "sales" guy could not figure out how to use the DOS based quote system to generate new quotes from previous orders. He would delete old orders and manually re-enter them, instead of updating them, to put in new pricing. I started putting manufacturing process information on the orders and process times for cost analysis. And then bozo would delete them.
For the cost of a network switch, some HDD drive space, and a tape box, I backed up the database to my CAD/CAM box. And when bozo weren't looking, I restored those entries he deleted. The owner was quite pleased at the increase in manufacturing turnaround.
And then the bozo deleted the whole database and I walked out the door -- all the data was still on the CAD/CAM box and tape; but they never found it.
Buy two, they are cheap! Keep one in your office for grins and giggles.
If a significant portion of your datacenter or distribution closets rely uniquely on a single hardware switch, either you need a different architecture or This Switch Is Not For You.
Well, duh.
If you are a medium scale operator who has spent your capex on VMware, with no more funds available, and a CxO(s) who have [correctly] declared all future builds will be on the virtual infrastructure, this is pure win. The developers at SMBs can build the initial deployment on premises equipment; then deploy out on more VMs or hardware or [pick your cloud].
I have been trying to find affordable hardware for just such an SMB development in CoreOS ever since CoreOS was announced. I'll take some of this....actually I'll take alot of this. Great platform for the SMB to become a hyperscale operator some day.
Almost by parallel evolutionary accidental design, one of the best features of the Palm compared to modern phone interfaces is the use of a stylus. Fingers lack the finesse and accuracy of a good stylus. I am not an ape and prefer to use modern tools, thank you.
I also agree about the use of a STANDARD USB PORT instead of some young engineers bright idea of crap. After about a year, those custom USB cable connectors failed to properly connect.
If these people had any , they would license an OS from Blackberry.
"Virtual SAN utilizes a dedicated VMkernel port type and proprietary transport protocol for internode traffic. "
"Because vSphere Network I/O Control requires the use of a VMware vSphere Distributed Switch™ (VDS), all editions of Virtual SAN include VDS capability. For optimal performance, VMware recommends the use of a dedicated storage network."
And this is different or better from my current storage implementation how?
Trevor I understand the bulk of your work is smaller organizations which cannot have a FTE specialist for every function -- but; I don't see a lot of sysadmin work and/or tools. I see Systems Security I/II/III which in the SMB is very likely a function of IT; but is it as responsibility of IT? Business owners and management foisting security off on the SysAdmins because they are too lazy or cheap. Sure IT can install the security systems; but IT should not operate nor be responsible for their function.
Business Assets management which is a function of the Financial/Operations management which too many IT people have allowed the Business to foist off on the continually overburdened SysAdmin. Ain't nothing technical about counting assets.
Now I have eliminated half your list.
One of the most important monitoring tools of the sysadmin: the random walk and talk. Take a break from staring at the screen and use that all access pass to wander around and talk to people. Go to those company meetings everyone can avoid if they have to; then BS afterwards in the hallway. Openly and calmly discuss with some schmuck who using the latest, coolest Cloud-Stores-My-Department-Data, or this app lets me share all my data all the time with my whole team instantaneously -- and the entire world, or other such technical cockroach. Never ever get excited or confrontational or question their use of said tool during the walk and talk. Just smile, return to your desk, search for all other instances of Things-Which-Should-Not-Exist, and take appropriate action.
Tech toys only get you so far; people are the problem.
You mean the same system HP have used in EVA and now 3Par for years?
deja storage vu
No matter how much marketing methods change, the storage stays the same.
Missing some real world operations scenarios here:
What happens when one disk fails?
What happens when a second disk fails?
How does rebuild affect performance?
How does vMotion perform when you have to take a host offline?
This is sales dribble.
Yes, the MBAs kicked out the clever upstarts with ideas and skills. Now all that's left is mediocre; and so is ESXi 5.1. I dread to see 5.5
" Puh-lease, have you forgotten why we moved away from DAS in the first place? Poor utilization, too power hungry, poor resilience, poor central management options, awful centralised backup over the network, and poor inter-server performance."
Specify and purchase the right SAN with the right connectivity and the right software, all this DAS madness goes away. During the cost justification, don't forget the amount of hours@$$$ in tech support to keep DAS madness operating. Then compare to the costs of a properly implemented mid-range SAN for your SME shop over an effective lifetime of the SAN and less manpower. SAN is not going away any time soon.
Certain technology projects which require Hadoop or other non-SQL data storage will use some DAS. But you would be surprised at how you can implement Hadoop on a storage network and reduce your overhead by eliminating some of that data replication.
Ever tried to buy a SAN as an SME? If possible, the SME IT guy should arrive armed and wearing body armor. Get the point across fast.
The SAN salesman for Highest Profits also brought along, uninvited, a gang bang team of PC salesman, Enterprise Software Salesman, Service Salesman, Printing Salesman, Server Salesman, and a couple others.
The SAN partner for Implied Bondage Makeover wouldn't try to discuss options; gold plated and locked in or nothing.
Everest Mountain Climbing tried to sell me a SAN which was actually SCSI arrays with some fast dancing. The dancing wasn't as fast as the music.
Some of us SME IT folk aren't that gullible; and aren't that inexperienced. We just like to act that way; and the big boys fall for it every time. Still wouldn't hurt to have a gleaming stainless steel negotiator hanging next to the cellphone on your belt.
Trevor, did VMware ESXi install? OpenStack? Eucalyptus?
This looks like a good medium scale virtualization platform; might want to include that in your reviews as a standard test.
Darth Oracle, the more you tighten your grip the more software assets will slip thru your fingers.
...Google search on Barracuda Networks, there are some interesting things...
Interesting indeed. Sounds like a comic strip could be made of this company...oh, wait, already done.
Market research analyst "reckons" what sales are for two years; inflates into full article full of ethereal statements, guesses, and ...ahem....insight.
Fluff the popcorn some more to show how full the bin could be.

Trevor, it's called
commit confirmed 5
Available on all Juniper network switches. No secondary management network required.
"... Not everyone who owns an Audi is a tit, I'm sure there are normal Audi owners..."
I'll have to see some statistical evidence from a scientific study before I give that statement full credence. I think it's something that sublimates off the interior which causes this type of mentality; some people may just be naturally immune.
"...suppresses the body's natural resistance to incompletely established international standards. It's quite safe..."
Priceless, absolutely priceless. The Software Engineers, Quality, and Architects loved this one.
Wunderbar1 sounds like the only storage you have ever managed is IBM or some other legacy storage which has not been engineered recently. 3PAR ASICs-- some may consider ASICs to be a limiting factor in implementation; but the improvement in performance is worth it.
Charles 9
Incorrect! All assets belong to the people; and the government is allowed to hold certain assets in trust, at the pleasure of, and for the benefit of the people. No we are not "subject" to the government; we allow ourselves to function under guidelines provided by government [until such time as those guidelines mutate into intractable enforcement].
Can't you find a more mathematically rigorous concept for determining regular readers/commentards? That is a computer you are using and not a civil servant I assume.

Egads, Doubleclick.net? I have those buffoons blocked by default for many years now. If you want to make some secondary revenue thru advertising frames, find a reputable and relevant ad service.
The VDI sales architects state virtualizing the desktop does not deliver the total virtualization ROI if you don't virtualize the apps. A four month project to evaluate virtualizing all the software used in my department found a definitive conclusion: software applications can be virtualized; software tools cannot. 50% failure rate.
And I just saw presentation where the current tool for virtualizing apps is known to be..ahem...difficult. A new app virtualization environment will Be Here Soon; but still does not solve the Software Tools Don't Virtualize problem.
That's nice. Will Dell now spend time researching how to protect servers against dust, gravel, mice, spider, crickets, snakes, lizards, Vice Presidents, and Marketing? Cushy controlled datacenters provide more that just heat and humidity control.
The question is which absorbed company or product will be marginalized or diffused into obscurity within the larger behemoths; and then reborn in a slightly different form in another small company?
[the blue eyes are looking at you HP]
Students leave education with no training in security. In fact, exactly the opposite. In order to ensure the student's primary focus is targeted on learning the material [for which the student has paid], secondary detractors -- eg security--- are routinely and aggressively removed from educational systems. Since education cannot possibly provide training in the security required for each and every type of business type, security training must be provided by the employer. For smaller businesses, this is a financial burden which is usually avoided.
Basic security needs to be addressed in education and training.
There will be no customer service war with Best Buy in the sense you are hoping for. What you will have is one more sadistic tech mistresses who will take all your money, make you feel inadequate and angry, and leave you feeling hopeless.

I'm Sorry Sin, But You Have the Wrong Person
"The number you are trying to reach has been disconnected." Ever hear that? It means the people you're attempting to contact have closed, or moved, or died, or gave you a wrong number, perhaps even on purpose. How rude! The same can happen with the mail, according to Elvis, whose postman brought his letter right back saying, "Return to sender, address unknown. No such person, no such zone."
Take Up Your Cross… Daily?
For most of us, the cross is a religious symbol. It hangs on the wall of a church or on a chain around our neck. And what we do with the cross physically usually happens in our minds too. We think about the cross at church on Sunday. After all, it's a "church" thing.
Would You Willingly Be Executed?
"It's just my cross to bear." I've heard people say that phrase about the dumbest things. We tend to say it about things that annoy us, inconvenience us, or maybe cost us time or money. It reveals that we really haven't a clue what it means to take up our cross.

Title: Identity of fragrant oak-like leaves used at funeral
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:In the early 1950's I attended my grandmother's funeral in the Southern West Virginia area. At the gravesite, the funeral home had provided what looked like dried oak leaves, (red brown and gold colored) attached by wire to tiny green pointed sticks that could be placed on the grave. The wonderful scent they gave off has stayed with me my whole life, but I've never found it again. Is there an oak-like plant that has a naturally wonderful scent, or was this just probably artificial?
This is a challenging question and I have thought about it a lot and asked the opinion of several people. The best candidate any of us can think of is Sassafras albidum (Sassafras). There are 3 varieties of leaves that appear on the tree and one of the variations definitely has an oak-like appearance. In the fall, the leaves turn shades of red, orange and yellow. All parts of it are aromatic—roots, bark and leaves. Florida Forest Trees, Assateague Naturalist and GardenGuides all mention that the leaves and other parts of plant have a spicy or lemony scent.

Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race - A humbling defeat
by Bruce Montgomery RSHYR media on 29 Dec 2013
Perpetual Loyal will be back again for next year's Rolex Sydney Hobart © Rolex/Daniel Forster
In the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Anthony Bell has tasted victory on Investec Loyal in 2011 – but in 2013 he failed to beat his nemesis, Wild Oats XI, with his latest super maxi, Perpetual Loyal.
The new boat came to the race as arguably the fastest maxi in the world (it is the former Speedboat, former Virgin Money, former Rambler 100 that was leading the 2011 Rolex Fastnet Race when it lost its keel).
Yesterday it was humbled in this Rolex Sydney Hobart, beaten across the line by three hours 10 minutes, and having had salt rubbed into the wound on Friday when Oats passed within 200 metres of Perpetual Loyal, which was then leading.
'It was sobering when the guys went past us, that's for sure,' Bell said.
Designed by Argentinean Juan Kouyoumdjian, Perpetual Loyal has a notional top speed of 45 knots, but in this Hobart race, she never reached those speeds. The best they got out of her was 35 knots, but Bell knows her day will come. He will be back next year.
Perpetual Loyal has a life. Its time will come.
'For two-thirds of the race we were looking at the dial and it was showing single digits,' Bell said. 'There were times when we had only one knot.'
He said he thought it would be hard to keep the crew motivated.
'They self-charged and they kept going and going and going,' he said.
'Yes, mate, we'll come back next year. Don't you worry about that.
'In a traditional Hobart race, this boat really moves. For a brief time today we had 35 knots. It loved it. That is what it is built for. Hopefully, one day we'll have a traditional Hobart race.
'Perpetual Loyal is a long term proposition. It's done a lot of work for us, raised a lot of money for charity. That's our prime goal in racing.'

A harsh fight over the fate of a stately old hotelBreaking News
he Belleview Biltmore Hotel still exudes some of the grandeur of a time when tycoons like its builder, the railroad magnate Henry Plant, spared little expense to entertain visitors. There is a ballroom with a stained-glass ceiling, a hidden stairway for children and their nannies, and hallways wide enough for hoop skirts.
But the romance of the hotel has faded, replaced by an acrimonious fight over whether it should be saved.

This mint sauce recipe is an effective way of preserving mint for use during the winter.
It can grow like a weed during the summer but dies down completely over the winter.
It's a must have with roast lamb - along with mint jelly of course.
Miracle-Gro Aerogarden with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit
Indoor herb gardening is becoming very much the rage these days. You can just snip a few herbs off the stems, grab a tomato or chop a chilli while you're cooking.
The indoor gardens look gorgeous in the house too with their lush green foliage and gentle background light.
The most trusted name in the market is Miracle-Gro and their flagship is the 6 (UK) or 7 (US) pod model - click on the flag to find them for your country.
You will need a good handful of mint for this recipe.
Give it a rinse with clean water and dry it.
Pick the leaves off the stalk.
It is better to have young leaves for this recipe, but it won't affect the finished sauce if you leave it a bit later in the season.
This recipe is designed to keep the mint preserved in vinegar ready to make into a sauce to serve with your food.
Finely chop the mint leaves.
To make the sauce, you only need to add white wine vinegar and caster sugar.
You can use other vinegar or sugar, but I like to use these in the recipe.

Creating the National Pastimeby G. Edward White
At a time when many baseball fans wish for the game to return to a purer past, G. Edward White shows how seemingly irrational business decisions, inspired in part by the self-interest of the owners but also by their nostalgia for the game, transformed baseball into the national pastime. Not simply a professional sport, baseball has been treated as a focus of childhood rituals and an emblem of American individuality and fair play throughout much of the twentieth century. It started out, however, as a marginal urban sport associated with drinking and gambling. White describes its progression to an almost mythic status as an idyllic game, popular among people of all ages and classes. He then recounts the owner's efforts, often supported by the legal system, to preserve this image. Baseball grew up in the midst of urban industrialization during the Progressive Era, and the emerging steel and concrete baseball parks encapsulated feelings of neighborliness and associations with the rural leisure of bygone times. According to White, these nostalgic themes, together with personal financial concerns, guided owners toward practices that in retrospect appear unfair to players and detrimental to the progress of the game. Reserve clauses, blacklisting, and limiting franchise territories, for example, were meant to keep a consistent roster of players on a team, build fan loyalty, and maintain the game's local flavor. These practices also violated anti-trust laws and significantly restricted the economic power of the players. Owners vigorously fought against innovations, ranging from the night games and radio broadcasts to the inclusion of African-American players. Nonetheless, the image of baseball as a spirited civic endeavor persisted, even in the face of outright corruption, as witnessed in the courts' leniency toward the participants in the Black Sox scandal of 1919. White's story of baseball is intertwined with changes in technology and business in America and with changing attitudes toward race and ethnicity. The time is fast approaching, he concludes, when we must consider whether baseball is still regarded as the national pastime and whether protecting its image is worth the effort.

Cricket's Greatest Rivalryby Simon Hughes
'Hughes takes us on a breathless tour through cricket history, the great players, personalities, matches and events. He never slackens pace or dwells on the dry details of the scoreboard.' - The Times From the William Hill Award-Winning author of A Lot of Hard Yakka comes Cricket's Greatest Rivalry: A History of the Ashes in 10 Matches, a fast-paced, distinctive history of the iconic, 135-year-old cricketing rivalry between England and Australia. The new paperback edition is completely revised and updated to include the tumultuous two series of 2013-2014, which saw more more twists and turns in this enthralling contest. No other sport has a fixture like the Ashes. From the early 1880s the rivalry between these two great sporting nations has captured the public imagination and made sporting legends of its stars. Commentator, analyst and award-winning cricket historian Simon Hughes tells the story of the ten seminal series that have become the stuff of sporting folklore. Cricket's Greatest Rivalry places you right at the heart of the action of each pivotal match, explaining the social context of the time, the atmosphere of the crowd and the background and temperaments of the players that battled in both baggy green and blue caps. Simon starts his story at the very birth of the Ashes and tells the tale of the band of Australians that took on the best gentleman and players in the Empire's HQ and beat them on their home turf. That momentous occasion set the tone for some epic contests including: The thrilling 1902 Test at Old Trafford, which was one by a mere three runs. The incredible innings of Hobbs and Sutcliffe in front of a tense and packed Oval in 1926. The legendary 'bodyline' series of Jardine, Larwood, Bradman et al in 1933. The incredible run chase in 1948 that also saw Bradman's last test. England's reprise in the fifth test of 1953 when Lock, Trueman, Bailey and Hutton steered the hosts to a whirlwind victory. The fearsome pace attack from the likes of Lillie and Thompson that transformed the contest in the first Test of 1974 and shaped the Ashes as a tournament for decades to come. Botham's Ashes in 1981 that restored pride in a sports-mad nation. The match up at old Trafford where the magic of one Shane Warne sent shockwaves through the game. And finally the breaking of the Aussie stranglehold in 2005, when Flintoff, Pietersen and Vaughan did the seemingly impossible and re-established the greatest of rivalries. The book also includes complete statistics and records of all the Ashes fixtures and results and much, much more!

He also had a front row seat for the 1990 return of "Junction Boy" Gene Stallings. Those firsthand memories, plus many great moments from "days gone by," are just some of the stories as told by the Voice of the Crimson Tide. Other memorable moments include: Bama takes Southern football out west Bear Bryant answers "Mama's call" 12 national championships Joe Willie and the "Snake" The Goal Line Stand Mike Shula and a return to the Bowls "The passion he brings to his broadcasts, be it NASCAR or Alabama football, is beyond compare. There is no one better to write a book about one of the proudest franchises in all of college sports." ?Mike Helton, President, NASCAR "A whole generation of Alabama fans [know] Eli as "The Voice of the Tide." Like all great broadcasters, he is a wonderful storyteller and this book is filled with some stories that I had never heard. An enjoyable combination of Bama football history and behind the scenes broadcast booth stories." ?University of Alabama coach Mike Shula
The Cripplerby Chris Leben Daniel J. Patinkin
It takes a certain kind of person to do whatever is necessary to make a living as a mixed martial arts fighter. And it takes another kind of person to stand out from all the rest as both a wild man and a rock star. Chris Leben, otherwise known as "The Crippler," is that kind of person. Leben's reputation started when he appeared on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show and competition where hopeful fighters live together and vie for a UFC contract and a path to greatness. He quickly made a name for himself with his controversial and abrasive behavior. During his subsequent ten-year career in ultimate fighting, Leben became one of the most recognized figures in the sport, enthralling audiences around the world with his wild, head-first style of fighting as he took on some of the world's best fighters, including Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Wanderlei Silva. But Leben's success in the ring and international fame hid a troubled background. Abandoned by his father at a young age, Leben's mother worked long hours to raise him and his two siblings, and Leben learned early he had to be tough to fend for himself. For most of his life, Leben struggled with alcohol and narcotics, and he was suspended by the UFC for nine months for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The Crippler is not just an exciting account of his rise to prominence within the UFC; it's the incredible story of a renowned wild man dealing with his personal demons and learning that the toughest opponent is always yourself.

Cross Rhodesby Mark Vancil Dustin Rhodes
He first burst onto the scene in the nineties, covered in gold face paint and exhibiting a one-of-a- kind flamboyant style that bewildered his foes and thrilled his fans. Inside the ring, Goldust is as tough as they come, known for using outrageous mind games and taking down his opponents with unparalleled ruthlessness. It's no surprise, then, that wrestling is in his blood; Goldust is the son of Dusty Rhodes, "The American Dream." What is it like to be the son of a wrestling icon and follow him into the same profession? In this no-holds-barred account, Dustin Rhodes speaks frankly and openly about his journey. He talks about being a young boy who desperately missed his dad. A young man who only wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and threw aside a football scholarship to eke out a meager existence in regional wrestling. A green wrestler struggling to prove to his peers that his work, not his name, had gotten him to where he was. Rhodes describes how, in the midst of a painful five-year estrangement with his father, he finally made a name for himself as Goldust and then let it all go, tumbling into a descent of self-medication that led him away from a red-hot career as a WWE Superstar and nearly cost him his life. When he finally hit bottom, Rhodes knew where to look for help from the family he always had: his father and World Wrestling Entertainment. When he got clean and sober and was offered the chance to wrestle for WWE, he snapped up the offer. The everyday existence of life on the road, working with and watching the new Superstars-- like his brother Cody Rhodes--has reminded Rhodes of why he loves being a wrestler. Cross Rhodes is an intimate portrait of one man's road to redemption and a unique glimpse into one of the most famous families in WWE.

The Crossingby Kathy Watson
On the night of 24 August 1875 Matthew Webb, a 27-year-old British Navy captain, launched himself into the English Channel at Dover. Twenty-one hours and 45 minutes later he became the first man to swim the English Channel. In this acclaimed biography, Kathy Watson shows how Captain Webb was instrumental in bringing the sport of swimming into the modern era. It is also a study of the Victorian drive to push back the boundaries of endurance. In THE CROSSING, Watson uses this great British eccentric's extraordinary life as a springboard to explore themes of obsession and failure and the emerging force of the media, and swimming's place in our psyche.
Crossing Antarcticaby Jon Bowermaster Will Steger
In March 1990, Will Steger completed what no man had ever before attempted: the crossing of Antarctica, a total of 3,700 miles, on foot. Lured by the challenge and the beauty of Earth's last great wilderness, and determined to focus the world's attention on the frozen continent now that its ecological future hangs in the balance, Steger and his International Trans-Arctica team performed an extraordinary feat of endurance.
Crossing the Driftlessby Lynne Diebel
The Driftless Area is the land the glaciers missed, an ancient landscape of bluffs, ridgetops, and steep valleys that long ago was a seabed. Covering much of southwestern Wisconsin, its contours were deeply carved from bedrock, not by ice but by many rivers. Crossing the Driftless is both a traveler's tale and an exploration of this dramatic environment, following the streams of geologic and human history. Lynne Diebel and her husband, Bob, crossed the Driftless Area by canoe, journeying 359 river miles (and six Mississippi River locks and five portages) from Faribault, Minnesota, where her family has a summer home on Cedar Lake, to their Wisconsin home in Stoughton, one block from the Yahara River. Traveling by river and portage, they paddled downstream on the Cannon and Mississippi rivers and upstream on the Wisconsin River, in the tradition of voyageurs. Lynne tells the story of their trip, but also the stories of the rivers they canoed and the many tributaries whose confluences they passed.

I have written several times in the past about my visits to the Wild Animal Sanctuary located outside Denver.
I made another trip today and the improvements since my trip last thanksgiving are amazing. The 'Mile into the Wild Walkway' is almost complete. The most recent extension opened 3 weeks ago and the last of the current project will open in a couple of weeks.
When we first went in 2009, you could only really observe the lions and tigers well. Now the bears, wolves, and smaller animals (fox,lynx,bobcat) are easy to observe.
We went on a Saturday morning when the animals were being fed so most were very active as they saw the 'chuck wagon' coming.
The bears were very active - saw two grizzlies 'sumo wrestling' for quite a while. The tigers were very active and vocal.
Admission is still only $10 for adults while I would say the value is at least twice what it was.
We spent about 2 hours. I could have stayed longer but 'the Stomach' - a.k.a. my son - needed to be fed.
The website was updated a few months ago and is very well designed.

Thanks for posting this info. We are going to this part of the world in June and have this on our list of places to visit. We especially love seeing animals in the wild but this would be great too.
We wouldn't have known about it except for your post, so thank you again.

bigtyke -
Thanks for posting this again. I've had this place on my radar since your original post, but as I only get back to CO from Australia once a year, I've yet to fit it in.
Next time maybe.
Report Abuse
The road to the sanctuary is in the process of being paved. As a gravel road it wasn't too bad, but with the increased attendance, the county decided to pave it.
Here is a video showing two bears 'sumo wrestling'.

So glad I found this forum, I have not heard of this place but it is now on the to do list when we are there.

Why did it take so long for justice to be done? Paedophile policeman honoured by the Queen is finally jailed 25 YEARS after abuse was first reported
- Disgraced former officer Danny Bryant, 65, was finally jailed this week for six-and-a-half years for a decade of abuse involving five boys
- Devon and Cornwall constable admitted ten counts of indecent assault against five boys between 1974 and 1985
- Four reports made to police but no charges brought against Bryant
- Judge David Ticehurst said it was 'a matter of regret that the force did not bring him to justice before'
Bryant admitted ten counts of indecent assault against five boys between 1974 and 1985
Police have been forced to deny claims the force covered up the crimes of a paedophile policeman and allowed him to escape justice for 25 years.
Danny Bryant, 65, was finally jailed this week for six-and-a-half years for a decade of abuse involving five boys.
Many of the offences took place as he ran a police life-saving club - a role that saw him honoured by the Queen with the British Empire Medal.
One of his victims said Bryant abused him from the age of 14 and in 1988 he gave a detailed statement to police when he heard another boy had fallen into his clutches.
Tormented Russell Dawson, who waived his right to anonymity, said police wrote back saying they 'did not feel they had enough evidence to prosecute'.
His family then considered legal action but an officer allegedly visited them and warned about the 'horrendous ordeal' a civil case would be and they decided to drop it.
Bryant continued as a Pc in Devon and Cornwall Police until 1993 when the force was alerted a fourth time to his crimes when another victim came forward.
Mr Dawson said his mother offered to help police investigate the fresh claims but was told they did not need her help and asked not to call them again.
Bryant was allowed to take early retirement the following year on 'ill-health' but was not arrested until April this year, when Mr Dawson demanded another investigation, and carried on working with life-saving clubs in North Devon.
Bryant continued as a Pc in Devon and Cornwall Police until 1993 when the force was alerted a fourth time to his crimes when another victim came forward
He admitted ten counts of indecent assault against five boys between 1974 and 1985 and was jailed at Taunton Crown Court in Somerset on Thursday.
Many of the offences took place at the now-defunct Devon and Cornwall Police Surf Life-saving Club which he was a founder member of.
Jailing Bryant, of Bideford, North Devon, Judge David Ticehurst said it was 'a matter of regret that the force did not bring him to justice before'.
He was jailed this week for six-and-a-half years for a decade of abuse involving five boys
Mr Dawson, 44, who went to court to see Bryant jailed, said the disgraced officer started abusing him in 1983 and the effect on his life had been 'crippling and devastating'.
He said: 'It has been incredibly difficult getting on with my life.
'I only wish that the Devon and Cornwall Police had handled the matter differently when I first reported the abuse in 1988.
'I'm sure that would have prevented other children from being abused by this man in whom I had placed my trust.
'People must not be afraid to speak out against their abusers even if these people are respected in their community or hold a position of authority.'
Speaking after the case, Detective Chief Inspector Dave Thorn said: 'The reason it wasn't prosecuted was not as a result of a cover-up. It was the result of insufficient evidence.
'Having said that, we are willing to learn lessons if there were investigative techniques which we used at the time were not up to scratch.'
Devon and Cornwall police said they voluntarily referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission in April.
A spokeswoman added that the IPCC had determined that the case was suitable to be investigated locally and it had been referred back to the force.
The force said: 'Danny Bryant's crimes have had a significant impact on the lives of his victims and we are doing everything possible to support them at what is an extremely difficult time.
'The fact that Danny Bryant committed these crimes while a serving police officer makes them all the more serious and an unforgiveable abuse of trust which the public should quite rightly give to a police officer.
'These offences are historic and safeguarding procedures have changed significantly since the 1980s when they have taken place.'
The IPCC have been contacted for a comment.

A Millenial Medievalist's mind on the matter
Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute for district 12 in place of her sister, Primrose. fanpop
Every time I hear the word "Millennial," I think about my Backstreet Boys Millennium CD. I'm 23 years old, and I haven't listened to it in about 10 years. It astounds me that I have lived long enough to say I have ignored something for a whole decade. I don't feel old enough or socially conscious enough to be part of a generation - much less the new "It" generation.
As a result, it always catches me by surprise when someone publishes a new article about Millennials and our problems, or when someone asks me what I think, as a Millennial, about anything, from President Obama to mason jars to gluten. And it's enraging when someone applies his or her conceptions about Millennials to me without even bothering to ask my opinion.
Every generation complains about the one that succeeds it. But why do Boomers and GenX seem to devote so much time and angst to the millennial state? I blame technology - but as a history student. Let me explain.
The world is constantly changing. It is a magic tapestry with many shifting designs and colors; patterns emerge and dissolve as soon as ideas are abandoned for something new. Even something as simple as pop songs can revolutionize -- both Elvis and the Beatles changed the face of pop culture overnight. Before telecommunication in television and later the Internet, however, it took a significant amount of time for trends and ideas to disseminate.
Do you remember that scene in Gone With the Wind when Rhett Butler brings Scarlett a hat from Paris? It was all the rage when he left there, months earlier. But now, with the Internet, Atlanta girls can easily see what hats the girls in Paris are wearing the very same day. Trends are almost instantaneously shared, crossbred, mutated and abandoned.
I often hear other history students speak longingly of their desire to exist a few centuries into the future. Just think of the wealth of information historians will have about this time period! Through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, we are constantly tracking, updating, and hashtagging our every move. We are a generation of record-generators, and perhaps that is the reason we attract so much attention. Through technology, we have the ability to put ourselves out into society, to be known and recognized for who we are.
That is exactly why Boomers and GenX are so concerned about Millennials. The Internet makes our cultural movement immediate and inherently knowable. The lack of mystery allows Millennial culture to be shared, crossbred, mutated and, ultimately, abandoned. To our elders, Millennials are a new trend, a new idea. We don't need to wait for the historians of the future -- our parents and elders can analyze all our records and make judgments just fine themselves.
Old as dirt though they might be - parents are not historians. My field of history is medieval/early modern and, as such, my professors often ask me, "What could you possibly know about XYZ?" This question invites me to step back from my own experiences, to prevent me from applying biases to the people that wildly differed from myself. It takes active work and consideration to understand the medieval mindset, just as it takes active work to comprehend the many-colored tapestry of Millennials.
We cannot assume that different generations are culturally similar just because they are temporally close. Neither can we assume that one generation is a cultural monolith. I'm a southern goth Episcopalian - what could I possibly know about a hipster buddhist from Portland or a Massachusetts sorority girl?
All I ask the generations before us is to think about their similar situation. It's not enough to read our Facebook statuses or comment on our Instagrams. Thoughtful, contextual analysis is always required. Because really, what could a Baby Boomer possibly know about a Millennial?

If you are hailing a cab today, it may pay to check you can pay in cash.
Paymark has confirmed some merchants using wireless eftpos terminals are currently unable to accept eftpos payments because of a connectivity issue.
Paymark said its own network was working normally, but it had been made aware of "a technical issue" for merchants using some terminals that connected using Vodafone's GPRS data network.
Vodafone said it was not an issue with its network.
"Our customer, Cadmus, provides eftpos terminals in taxis. Cadmus uses a third party link to carry the data traffic from our network to their own, and it is this link which appears to be broken," a spokeswoman said. "We are doing all we can to help our customer get back online."
Wellington Combined Taxis said this morning that it was one of the companies unable to accept eftpos.
ANZ Bank, which operates the country's second, smaller eftpos network, said its own systems were operating normally and it was not aware of any connectivity issues.
