Council supports deepening canal
HOUMA -- The Terrebonne Parish Council agreed Monday to cosponsor deepening the Houma Navigation Canal another 5 feet, to a 20-foot depth.
The resolutions intent is to support the deepening only after a lock and floodgate on the canal are built, said Parish President Michel Claudet and Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock.
Some council members and businesses, boat yards and fabrication yards along the ship channel have advocated for its deepening because they could build larger rigs and structures to be hauled offshore.
Some residents have expressed concern that deepening the canal could make Houma and surrounding areas more vulnerable to hurricane storm surges and flooding.
The council will be a sponsor for the project along with the parish Port Commission and the state Transportation Department. When seeking federal money for projects, local governments and agencies are required to be sponsors and put in some money as well.
Councilwoman Teri Cavalier voted against the resolution, saying after the meeting that she believes now that any canal or deepening of a canal is going to lead to further erosion.
Councilman Alvin Tillman abstained from the vote and later said he did so because he thinks parts of the resolution were ambiguously worded.
Parade stands may still have fee>/b>
HOUMA -- Though some residents complained about having to fork over $100 this past Mardi Gras, parish officials havent decided to give up on the fee, which brought in $9,100.
The Parish Council unanimously voted Monday to hold off making a decision on the permit fee.
This past Mardi Gras, the parish began charging for people to erect viewing stands along parade routes. But at least one resident, C.J. Stoufflet, said he believes the permit is unfair and that the parish inspectors dont enforce the permits.
The parishs Mardi Gras rule committee met last week and recommended the fee stay in place.
The fee and possible changes to several other Carnival rules will be on tap at the councils March 10 set of committee meetings.
Traffic stop yields drug arrests
HOUMA -- Two men were arrested on a slew of drug charges after Houma Police stopped a car on Barataria Avenue Friday night.
Officers on patrol pulled over a green Dodge Stratus because of the cars illegal window tinting shortly after 10 p.m. as the car turned onto Barataria from Hobson Street. A distinct smell of marijuana coming from inside led officers to search the car, said to Houma Police Lt. Todd Duplantis.
A search of the car revealed 50 grams of suspected marijuana, which has a street value of more than $250, 5.7 grams of suspected crack cocaine, which has a street value of over $500, and "Xanbar" pills, a slang term for the prescription drug Xanax, police said.
The driver, Brandon Jamar Bonvillain, 18, 3720 Baker Drive, Houma, is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of Xanax, and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. Bonvillain was also cited for the illegal window tinting. He was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a noise violation.
His passenger, Montrell Laquez Magee, 19, 1724 North Ave., Bogalusa, is charged with possession of Xanax and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. Both were taken to the parish jail.

|ESPN Prediction on Clemson-South Carolina
|Assoc. Editor - Tuesday, March 18, 2014 4:09 PM-
ESPN's Heather Dinich picks South Carolina to beat Clemson this year in Death Valley in her latest "Snapping the streak" article.
Dinich thinks the Tigers have more to overcome with the losses of key personnel on offense like Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins. However, she does point out South Carolina has some losses as well, but she thinks the Gamecocks will continue to win even with losses to NFL.
South Carolina wins six in a row. Ouch. If Clemson couldn't beat South Carolina WITH Sammy WatkinsSammy Watkins
Wide Receiver (2011 - 2013)
#2 6-1, 205
Fort Myers, FL
View Full Profile and Boyd, why should we give them the benefit of the doubt without their record-setting quarterback, leading receiver and leading rusher? Clemson's defense is going to be its strength this year, and one would think that by the time November rolls around, the offense will look like a seasoned group and have closed the gap. It's not like South Carolina doesn't have questions of its own, having to rebuild the defensive line and secondary. Key playmakers Connor Shaw, Jadeveon Clowney, Kelcy Quarles and Bruce Ellington have all moved on. The difference is that South Carolina has continued to win in spite of previous losses like that. Clemson has more to prove.

There's probably a level of competence beneath which bad directors cannot fall. No matter how dreary their imaginations, how stupid their material, how inept their actors, how illiterate their scripts, they've got to come up with something that can at least be advertised as a motion picture, released and forgotten.
But a talented director is another matter. If he's made several good films, chances are that sooner or later someone will give him the money to make a supremely bad one. I wonder how much Carlo Ponti gave Roman Polanski to make "Diary of Forbidden Dreams." Ten cents would have been excessive.
This is a movie so incredibly bad that I ask you to ponder the following facts. Even though (a) it stars Marcello Mastroianni, Hugh Griffith and Polanski himself, and (b) provides us with almost 90 minutes during which the attractive Sydne Rome wears little more than a table napkin, and (c) is almost exclusively concerned with that surefire box office winner, sex, it (d) was completed in 1973 and has not been released until now because almost every distributor who saw it fled the screening room in horror, clutching at his wallet.
The movie's original title was "What?" That is reportedly what Carlo Ponti said (in Italian, no doubt, and appropriately embellished) after Polanski showed it to him. In its original version, it looked like the work of a madman, of a crazed cinematic genius off the deep end. Ponti, in desperation, had all of Polanski's outtakes printed up (outtakes are versions of a shot that the director decides not to use.) With the aid of skilled editors, Ponti attempted to substitute various outtakes in an attempt to construct a film that resembled, well, a film.
No luck. When Polanski makes a bad movie, he does it with a certain thoroughness. Even the shots he didn't use were bad.
And so here we have it, Roman Polanski's "Diary of Forbidden Dreams." It concerns (I think) the adventures of the young and shapely Miss Rome, a hitchhiker who stumbles upon a bizarre country villa that also functions as a private hospital.
Among the inmates are Mastroianni, who keeps repeating "What would be nice, I think, would be for us to meet for dinner" until we want to mash a plate of lasagna in his face. He walks about in a bathrobe, smoking a cigarette and inspiring us to wonder how in the world he got into the movies. Really. Mastroianni, one of the most charismatic actors in the world, reduced to a cipher. Hugh Griffith, wearing his usual ferocious whiskers, plays an old tyrant who is forever about to drop dead of a heart attack. Polanski plays another inmate who's a Ping-Pong buff. Mastroianni and, finally, Miss Rome keep stepping on his Ping-Pong balls and crushing them, which leads to no end of ill feeling. I would desperately like to believe no symbolism is intended.
Miss Rome loses most of her clothes soon after arriving at the villa, and spends half an hour wearing the above-mentioned table napkin around her neck before stealing the tops of Hugh Griffith's pajamas. Hugh Griffith is provided with dialog like "Who is that girl wearing my pajama tops?" Another of the residents of the villa paints Miss Rome's left leg blue. There are a lot of shots of her walking around in pajama tops with a blue leg.
These and other shots confirm my long-held suspicion that, when it comes right down to it, there's a nasty streak of misogyny in Polanski. "What we have in mind, dear," I imagine him telling Sydne Rome when he was casting the picture, "is for you to walk around mostly nude for 90 minutes with your left leg painted blue." What she replied I cannot imagine, but she took the job. Some people will do anything to work for a top director.
You will notice that I have awarded "Diary of Forbidden Dreams" one half star. There is a principle at work here, and now's the time to explain it. No movie, no matter how bad, gets no stars at all in the Sun-Times unless it is, in addition to being bad, also meretricious and evil. "Diary" doesn't even have the wit to go that extra step.

You have to take into account floyd brings in at least 400,000 of these buys based on his last PPV's coupled with major advertising on major black oriented tv/networks/hbo. dont just say floyd does nothing, for black people, hes a huge star with appearences in all kinds of black magazines like ebony/jet/essensce. Hes not some ****in nobody and he does have an extensive community behind him to a great extent.

Personally I don't think that De La Hoya is that far out of his prime. Maybe a bit past, but not too much. He did better in his second fight with Mosely, and against Hopkins he was doing a hell of a lot better than Trinidad or Tarver did, he was actually competitive, fighting at a weight class that was too high. In recent years his only really bad performance was against Felix Sturm.

Ryan Ford
Ryan Ford will look to build his fanbase on the east coast of Canada when he returns to action in London, Ontario on May 19 where he faces former UFC title contender Karo Parisyan on the MMA Live 1 card.
The bout was first mentioned by Ford via his Twitter account, but now sources have indicated to MMAWeekly.com that the fight is a 'done deal'.
At 14-3, Ford has been one of the brightest prospects to come out of Canada in recent years, but has stumbled a couple of times in higher profile fights. Two losses to current Strikeforce lightweight Pat Healy, as well as a submission loss to current MFC champion Douglas Lima mark the only losses of his career.
Outside of those 3 fights, Ford has been fairly dominant throughout his career finishing 13 of his 14 fights inside the distance. He has long spoke about facing tougher competition, and he'll hopefully find that test in May.
To call Karo Parisyan's (19-6) career a rollercoaster lately would be the understatement of the year. A one time title contender in the UFC's welterweight division, Parisyan has dealt with everything from suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commissions to being dropped by the UFC, to being welcomed back only to suffer a knockout in his first fight back.
Parisyan will look to get his career back on track when he faces a very hungry fighter in Ryan Ford in May.
The bout will be a part of the MMA Live 1 card taking place in London, Ontario under the new sanctioning for mixed martial arts in the province.

On Friday, April 18, a wall of snow and ice crushed 16 Sherpas who were preparing a path on Mt. Everest for their clients. Thirteen of the bodies were recovered, but three remain entombed in the ice. The avalanche caused Everest's largest loss of life in a single day.
For these elite climbers, who guide people up the world's highest mountain, death has been an occupational hazard since the first ascent of Everest in 1922. But this month's tragedy sent a shockwave through the peaceful community. Sherpas, who make from $3,000 to $6,000 each three-month season, are threatening to strike unless they receive better compensation and improved safety conditions.
In the meantime, a group of 10 photographers who have worked extensively with the Sherpa people have banded together to help their friends. The photographers of The Sherpa Fund are selling prints of the mountain and its people, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Sherpa community.
By purchasing a print today, you are helping provide relief to Sherpa families in crisis, as well as long-term support that transcends this single incident. Together, we will build a more comprehensive safety net for the high-altitude workers who help so many Westerners realize their dreams of the summit. [The Sherpa Fund]
This diverse selection of photos, chosen by National Geographic editors, is a gorgeous and productive tribute to the people who have been so dedicated to this natural wonder. To buy a print or learn more about the Sherpa Fund, click on this link or the image below. --Lauren Hansen
"Welcome to The Late Show, and welcome to a whole new world," Stephen Colbert said at the beginning of Wednesday's show. "Because it turns out that hilarious 'Donald Trump is running for president' thing — he meant it." When Trump announced, a few months before Colbert's Late Show launched, they rushed out some videos so they could mock Trump while it lasted, he explained. "It turns out we had nothing to worry about, except all the things we have to worry about."
"A Trump nomination, it's just, it's hard to process," Colbert said. "This feels like a political shift of biblical proportions, like an act of God. But why would a loving God let this happen? Let's find out." So God appeared on the magical dome of the Ed Sullivan Theater, and Colbert asked him. God was as shocked as much of the U.S. "What happened to Jeb? I thought he was a sure thing." Watch below. Peter Weber
Now that Donald Trump has the Republican presidential field to himself, he spent Wednesday beginning to discuss his vice presidential pick. On Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel had a preview of the presumptive Republican nominee's process. "The way he's planning to find and choose the running mate, I think, is going to be a lot of fun," Kimmel said. If you guessed "reality TV show," of course you're right, but it's not a VP reboot of The Apprentice. Watch below for a preview of Vice President Island — the funny-because-it's-true kicker is at the end. Peter Weber
As the 2016 primaries come to an end, so too will Stephen Colbert's joyfully snarky "Hungry for Power Games." On Wednesday's Late Show, he dispatched with the rest of the Republican field, dressed in his Caesar Flickerman persona. "In the past few months, friends, we have lost so many brave tributes, and today, we lost what many are calling more of them," he said, beginning with Wednesday's dropout. "Yes, John Kasich has ended his bid for the White House," Colbert said. "He may be gone, but he's not... who are we talking about again?"
Kasich only won one state, Ohio, but "sadly, even in losing, Tribute Kasich has lost, because last night's big loser was Texas senator and half-kissed frog prince Ted Cruz," Colbert said, showing the inevitable clip of Cruz elbowing his wife in the face three times. "You have to give Ted credit: He went down swinging — even when hugging his wife." After he said he was done roasting/saluting Cruz, Cartoon Donald Trump came on to give some parting shots to the tributes from "District: Deli Meat" and "District: Human?" (and also Carly Fiorina). "Farewell, tributes — I'm sure there's room for you in Trump's cabinet, or at least his trophy room," he said. Watch below — it will likely be the last episode until July. Peter Weber
Between Islamic State demolition and booby traps, U.S. airstrikes, and the Iraqi military's campaign to retake the city, Ramadi is a disaster zone. Once home to a million people, the capital of Anbar Province is now filled mostly with Iraqi troops, bomb squad personnel, and miles and miles of destruction, according to photographs and satellite images provided to The Associated Press by DigitalGlobe. Iraqi forces ousted ISIS from the city in January, AP says, "but the cost of winning Ramadi has been the city itself."
The images show that more than 3,000 buildings, 400 roads and bridges, Ramadi's electrical grid, and the city water system were destroyed or severely damaged by ISIS or the campaign to force out the militants. After ISIS was cleared from the city, families were allowed to return, then blocked when dozens of civilian.s died in explosives rigged up by ISIS — booby traps like ISIS has been leaving in every city they are pushed out of. "The bombs are so costly and time-consuming to defuse that much of recently liberated Iraq is now unlivable," AP says. Read more about the destruction of Ramadi at AP, and get a look at some of the images in the AP video below. Peter Weber
We already know Gwen Stefani ain't no hollaback girl, but now there's definitive proof that George Clooney isn't one, either.
In the latest installment of carpool karaoke with James Corden, Stefani and the host drive around Los Angeles, singing some of Stefani's greatest hits from her No Doubt and solo albums. Between songs, Stefani, bouncing with so much energy her seatbelt can barely contain her, acts out emojis (except the eggplant) and shares her tips for looking ageless (fall in love and have a hit record). Realizing that they need two more people in order to use the carpool lane, Corden picks up a few very special guests — Clooney and Julia Roberts — and we soon learn that Clooney can spell out "bananas" and knows enough of Stefani's lyrics that he could fill in for her onstage if it's ever necessary.
Watch the video below to see the foursome tackle Queen and share their deep thoughts on what exactly it means to be a hollaback girl. Catherine Garcia
A lot has gone on in the past 48 hours — after Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the presidential race, Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, but not before he repeated a conspiracy theory about Cruz's father being with Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK's assassination and Cruz was heckled by a middle schooler.
On Wednesday, Seth Meyers took a closer look at all of these events, and how Trump became the last candidate standing. Republicans, he said, should really think about how a "race baiting, xenophobic, serial liar" like Trump became the presumptive candidate. "It's not a fluke," Meyers said. "The Republican Party is the party of Donald Trump and has been for years." With that, he introduced a clip from all the way back in 2009, when the birther movement, which starred Trump, was going strong. Watch the video below to hear more from Meyers on how Republicans are falling in line behind Trump, including those who previously said they'd never hop aboard the Trump Train. Catherine Garcia
Now that the Republican field has been whittled down to Donald Trump, Conan O'Brien decided to give a proper farewell to the 16 candidates who failed to outlast him. Starting with Rick Perry and ending with John Kasich, O'Brien shared the "reason" why each person dropped out — try to guess which candidate was "kicked to death by mother for shaming family name" and who "actually passed away three years ago." Catherine Garcia

Ramon was having a little party at his place. I found him in the backyard with two sexy babes in the hot tub. They were looking luscious in those tiny bikinis. Ahryan had a big juicy ass and Sophie had those huge delectable melons. Soon after, they were getting their pussies licked and fingered by Ramon. Then, they both licked and sucked his cock. They took turns riding his cock and face. Sophies and Ahryans asses looked amazing as they bounced on that dick. They took that load all over their pretty faces. Enjoy.

Delightful marion
Obelixx, have to agree with you.
let's not be too hasty folks
Ah! That's better Marion. Lovely
Know what you mean darren....my knees are grazed too and my skateboard is all broke. Got a lolly to soothe the pain.
Hello spotty mcspotface......my, you are peeved today
it's what grown up experts do....tinker with something because they think it needs "improving"
if you see Hostafan, wish him good morning from me
Yes, heatwave indeed Marion. look forward to your pictures.
flumpy, got some nice white heathers too but mine have gone over.
Morning goddy
can you post a picture? If not, which plants are affected? Are they young plants as opposed to established shrubs etc?
since you garden organically I assume you haven't been using weedkillers...even on a lawn cos spray can drift.
The weather has been cold, frosty, in most plsces and possibly this is the cause
Morning keen, when foliage is yellow then you can cut it off.
always same problem...we love daffs, alliums etc but hate the associated tatty foliage after. Always a temptation to tidy up but for best flowers next year have tolerance
morning Fairy....hope you are at lastgetting the sunshine
I prefer the old format...it's style encouraged me to join this forum....but this new revamped one is ok....ish
I'm going to give it a go
suddenly flower spikes on my lupins. Where did they come from? (Don't answer I know ). By next week they will be open
just illustrates how quickly things change in the garden....month back it felt like a cold spring now it feels like summer.

Bemused Ernie Merrick labelled it the most difficult season in his 27-year coaching career.
Knackered skipper Andrew Durante called the rollercoaster campaign "mentally draining."
Whatever the adjectives, Saturday's 4-1 loss to Melbourne Victory summed up the Phoenix's ultimately disappointing season.
There were more injuries, as goalkeeper Glen Moss (hip flexor) was forced to pop painkillers before taking his place on the bench, and Carlos Hernandez limped off with a thigh problem.
More ill discipline, as Shaun Timmins was sent off for hacking down Kosta Barbarouses, and some turnstile defending, with the 51 goals against the worst in the club's seven-year history.
Merrick genuinely believes that an unlucky run of injuries was to blame for a ninth-placed finish, handing over the wooden spoon to Melbourne Heart.
"If you look at the table I think you get a false picture of where we're at," Merrick said.
"With our best team out and the way we were travelling, I think we'll be a very exciting team next year."
Durante put his own hand up for the defensive woes, but life has been made hard through a constantly changing back four.
He is steadfast in his belief that Merrick's move to a more attacking brand of football will translate to a rise up the ladder next season.
"To say the season's been a complete failure, it's far from it," Durante said.
"So many players have stepped up and become better players this season. You speak to Siggy [Ben Sigmund], speak to Vinnie [Vince Lia] and they've enjoyed their football so much. The back end has been difficult, there's no hiding from that and there's been lots of changes. But it's not all doom and gloom. It was actually quite an enjoyable new style that we brought to the Wellington Phoenix."

Los Angeles Clippers #34 | F / PF
Paul Pierce Rumors & News
- Height: 6' 7"
- Weight: 235
- Age 38
- Seasons: 17
- Salary: 3,376,000
- Birthplace: Oakland, California
- College: Kansas
With the Clippers done for the year, the 38-year-old's future is in question. Paul Pierce said in September that if the Clippers won the championship, he'd retire riding off into the sunset. It didn't quite go down like that, and now we're left waiting for his decision as the Clippers find themselves done for the year in April. "I don't have much basketball left--whether it'll be this year or another year," said Pierce before the season. It was clear to those watching throughout the season that the former Boston Celtics legend didn't have enough in the tank to do his brilliant career...
How will everything fit together? Preceding a more in-depth breakdown of the Clippers' financial situation, here are some key ideas to keep in mind going into the off-season: The salary cap and tax line are both going to jump tremendously. The Clippers will most likely NOT have any cap space (it's technically possible but would involve renouncing several key players), but they will also most likely avoid being tax payers, giving them access to the full mid-level exception. It's not much, and its value is diluted by the sheer amounts of money available in the NBA landscape this...
The season is over, but the blog is about much more than that. The Clippers' big four were all saddled with injuries, and Austin Rivers' half-court heave failed to force overtime in a deciding game six. And so this Clippers season came to an end, my first as Editor-in-Chief of Clips Nation. I've been on the site as a commenter for seven years now, and I debuted on the front page in October of 2011. Even with that experience, taking on the full-time day-to-day duties was still a larger burden than I ever expected. I found myself doing more than I thought I would have to, and leaning...

Williams never ushered in an era of dominance the Nets would have hoped when moving to the borough. He was hurt constantly and put up mediocre numbers. Former teammate Paul Pierce pretty much threw Williams under the bus later, saying Williams wasn't a...

Look, the East has more teams that can win more regular season games than they lose! As you may know, the Clippers stunned the Utah Jazz last night in Utah 102-99 in overtime. Jamal Crawford played well overall and hit the game winning three-point shot with ticks left on the game clock. While the Clippers didn't profit from this win in terms of the standings (they're stuck with the 4th seed regardless), it was definitely encouraging to see players like Cole Aldrich and Pablo Prigioni step up and contribute in a big way. Even Paul Pierce turned the clock back with a great offensive...

WALSALL, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/12 -- As young adults in the UK spend ever longer living at home with mum and dad, large numbers of them are unable to take the 'do-it-yourself' approach to fixing issues in the home, and are becoming the generation of 'do-it-for-me'. New research from HomeServe, Britain's leading home emergency and home insurance provider, reveals that many young Britons are unable to perform basic tasks like rewiring a plug or bleeding a radiator.
The study, which looked to examine the situations that UK adults felt would necessitate calling out a tradesman, found that two-thirds (66%) of 18-24 year olds didn't know how to rewire a plug, 63% couldn't bleed a radiator, and 59% wouldn't be able to clear a blocked gutter. Most startlingly of all, one in six (16%) did not even know how to change a light bulb.
Worryingly, the results illustrate that a majority of young people would be ill-equipped to cope in a range of home emergency situations - 57% didn't know what to do in order to help clear a blocked drain, while more than two-thirds (68%) would not know how to turn off their water supply in the event that a pipe burst, an essential step to minimising damage while waiting for a professional to arrive.
HomeServe Memberships CEO Jonathan King said: "These results appear to show that for many young people, learning do-it-yourself skills is no longer a priority. For many who live at home, or whose parents are always on hand to help, fixing things or knowing how to stop them going wrong may not be of great concern - but sooner or later, these are skills that we're all going to have to rely on. What is concerning is that many young people who are moving out on their own for the first time don't take up home emergency cover - when the evidence suggests that this is the group who are least equipped to cope with, or prevent, a home emergency situation."
But while many of the under-25s call upon their elders for DIY advice, three in 10 people over the age of 45 had to ask a younger friend or family member for help with more modern household tasks, with the most difficult skill being downloading music or video files from the internet - something that one in six (17%) struggled with. A similar proportion had to ask for help with uploading pictures to Facebook (16%), and burning or ripping CDs and DVDs (17%).
Younger people might argue that DIY expertise is no longer as relevant or useful as it once was, and that 21st century life has created a whole new set of skills that it is more valuable to know. Three-quarters (74%) of respondents said that being able to send a text message was essential knowledge for modern life, and 65% felt that it was very important to be able to change a mobile phone's battery or SIM card. The skill that was perceived as the most useful was being able to send emails with attachments, cited by 84%. Meanwhile, setting the VCR is a skill that is dying out - only 24% saw it as essential.
In many cases, a lack of confidence in one's own DIY abilities can lead to embarrassing blunders. Asked to describe the most embarrassing occasion on which they had called a tradesman out to the house, one in 200 mentioned nailing or drilling through a water main behind a wall or floorboard in true slapstick fashion. Other gaffes included a 'gas leak' that turned out to be smelly cat litter, another that was the result of a hole in a can of shaving foam, and a broken extractor fan which had been installed without an outlet. A further one in 100 described calling out a tradesman to fix their boiler, only to find that the thermostat was turned down.

HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- Idera, a leading provider of application and server management solutions, today announced the availability of three new free tools for both SQL Server DBAs and IT administrators. Idera's Server Backup Free delivers a free copy of their leading high performance server backup product. Idera's SQL backup status reporter and SQL permissions extractor allows DBAs to quickly and easily ensure that databases have been backed up and copy permissions across servers. All of these tools are designed to help administrators better manage the growing number of servers in the enterprise.
The new Server Backup Free is a full-featured copy of Idera's Server Backup Enterprise, but for a single server. Now IT departments can experience fast disk-based backup for Windows and Linux Servers as well as VMware, Xen and Hyper-V without a commitment. For companies with growing server environments, Server Backup Enterprise delivers high performance at a price point that can scale to backup your servers without breaking the bank. Server Backup Free features include:
- Backup physical and virtual servers in minutes, not hours
- Backup to any disk-based storage -- second hard disk, NAS, SAN, etc.
- Restore files in seconds with Disk Safe technology
- Download and go in minutes with easy installation
The popular SQL backup status reporter allows DBAs to view a graphical representation of backups across their SQL Server environment. This tool is critical to knowing whether a working backup is available when needed. Idera's SQL safe then goes further to help companies feel confident with the consistent running of the fastest and most compressed backups. SQL backup status reporter features include:
- Quickly identify databases that have not had backups
- View backup history including the backup date and type
- Simplified grid view for easy sorting and navigation
- Identify full and differential backups for one or many databases
The new SQL permissions extractor takes the pain out of permissions porting and security by enabling DBAs to easily copy and reassign permissions from one server to another without having to write a single line of script. SQL permissions extractor ensures consistency and security. Idera's SQL secure completes the process and allows you to harden security with pre-defined and customizable policy templates to ensure the SQL Server environment is safe. SQL permissions extractor features include:
- Generate T-SQL scripts for copying of user permissions to another server
- Edit, save, and execute permissions scripts
- Include object level permissions for selected databases
"Idera has made a commitment to providing free tools and solutions that help both IT and database administrators better manage their servers," said Rick Pleczko, president and CEO, Idera. "It's our way of paying back the success that the community has helped us achieve."
