June 25, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
In 1693, The Cellars-Hohenort, then known as Klaasenbosch Farm, was the house of Hendrik ten Damme, Chief Surgeon of the Dutch East India Company. The farmhouse is positioned against the wooded knoll of the eastern slope of Table Mountain. During the 1750's it became part of the flourishing farming and wine producing area. The Cellars was the wine cellar of Klaasenbosch Farm.
After numerous owners, Arnold Spilhaus bought the farm in 1906 and replaced the old thatched farmhouse with the magnificent manor in the German style with square gables, designed by architect Seeliger. It was named Hohenort, meaning "high place" in old German.

I have a 08 Trek FX 7.3 that has seen about 3k miles thus far and has been a joy for the most part. Thing is I am getting bored of riding on my own all the time and was thinking about riding with the local cycle club, well I ran into them a few weeks ago and well, I was not really able to hang with them as they were doing a steady 19mph, after about a mile my legs were not happy and I had to drop back to my 15mph normal pace. My riding is almost all road or bike path so really the hybrid rout may not have been the best path for me, guess I should have looked around more before I got the FX 7.3.
Now the what I have been wondering is, is this bike suitable for such rides via upgrades, fork, bars, tires etc. or should I just get a Trek Series 1, or Specialized Allez*. I know what my biggest problem is, is the uprightness of my riding position, I was hoping that lower road cycling bars would help this. I have seen others suggest putting 700x25 tires on my bike in place of 700x38's it currently has. Others have suggested a road cycle fork for the more aggressive angle to drop the bike more.
*I am looking at these bikes as I have been told by both of the store guys that my 220lb weight isn't the best for carbon frames, losing weight isn't an option with my stocky 6' build, I am actually at my lightest in years.

dailynews ONLINE
Yemen: Al-Qaeda militants who seized a Yemeni town just 130
kilometres (85 miles) from the capital this week are making
"prohibitive" demands for pulling out, a tribal leader said on
A delegation from tribes around the town of Rada, southeast of Sanaa,
met the militants' leader, Tareq al-Dahab -- a brother-in-law of US-born
jihadist cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi who was killed in a US drone strike last
September, the tribal chief told AFP. "Dahab set two conditions --
applying sharia (Islamic law) and releasing 10 detainees, among them
(his brother) Nabil and some prisoners held at Guantanamo," the tribal
leader said on condition of anonymity.
"The conditions are prohibitive given the demand for the release of
Yemeni prisoners from Guantanamo," which is not in the Sanaa
government's gift, he added.
The militants moved into Rada during Sunday night, meeting little
resistance from security forces, according to tribal leaders.
The presence of the gunmen did not prevent residents from going ahead
with a planned protest against the government of veteran President Ali
Abdullah Saleh, as they have for months, witnesses said. Demonstrators
expressed their anger at a transfer of power deal that gives Saleh and
his family a promise of immunity from prosecution, but also voiced
demands for the militants to leave, participants said. "We are appealing
to the regime to expel the armed groups whom it allowed into the town,
because we want to protect Rada from violence and discord," one of the
demonstrators, Ahmed Abdullah, told AFP by telephone.
He was echoing accusations repeatedly made by activists who have been
protesting against Saleh's regime for the past year that he has allowed
militants to seize large swathes of the east and south so that he can
play the Al-Qaeda card with Washington.
Al-Qaeda-linked militants control a string of towns in Abyan, Shabwa
and Marib provinces, but Rada, in Al-Bayda province, is the closest they
reached to the capital.
The strong jihadist presence in Yemen made Saleh a key ally in
Washington's "war on terror" before the Arab spring uprisings sparked a
wave of protests against his regime which he met with deadly violence.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that Al-Qaeda remained a
US concern but called on Saleh to leave.
"We remain focused on the threat posed by Al-Qaeda in Yemen and we
continue to work with our partners there and elsewhere to ensure that
Al-Qaeda doesn't gain a foothold in the Arabian Peninsula through
actions that would undermine the stability of Yemen and the region,"
Clinton said.
But she added: "We regret that the president has yet failed to comply
with his own commitment to leave the country and to permit elections."
Government officials have said the Al-Qaeda-linked insurgency could
trigger postponement of a promised election to choose Saleh's successor
that is supposed to be held on February 21. AFP

This year's Celebrate Me Awards showcased the important work of Mencap's young volunteers.
The awards are your chance to reward volunteers you think are really special. The 2012 winners included two inspirational young volunteers. Nicola Ashley (pictured) is a young volunteer from Mencap group The Getaway Club in Horncastle, Spilsby and Louth.
Nicola started early and has already notched up 12 years as a volunteer. She brings new ideas to the club and is always ready to get involved. She has also just taken on the role of secretary. She was just one of the winners at Mencap's Celebrate Me volunteer awards, announced at the AGM this year.
Volunteers are key influencers, ambassadors and networkers, and are vital to Mencap. People giving their time for the good of others does not just happen – it is because people's passions and commitments are supported by a strong volunteering infrastructure.
Sam Morris, Mencap's head of volunteering
The other winner was Adam Crompton, who volunteers at Mencap's Me2 group in Dudley. The Me2 young people's panel awards a Me2 kitemark to services that provide an inclusive service for disabled children. Adam has a learning disability but doesn't see this as any reason not to get involved – instead, he is committed to giving something back to his local community.
Swinton and Worsley Mencap won an award in the group category, and Kate Taylor won an Outstanding Achievement Award for her ongoing role with the Oundle School Mencap Holiday programme.
Mencap and groups working together to plan volunteer involvement and share resources can offer opportunities to develop a stronger, more united voice. We can share knowledge and information and together prepare a new generation of volunteers.
Sam Morris, Mencap's head of volunteering
If your group would like to partner with Mencap to develop a combined volunteer programme, contact Sam Morris email@example.com or call 07788 473 290

Press Release: Georgia Lottery Corp.
ATLANTA – A Waffle House worker in Valdosta is savoring a juicy prize from the Georgia Lottery. Anthony Hodge Jr. won a $100,000 top prize playing the new instant game Jumbo Bucks Crossword.
"I'm so excited," the 29-year-old exclaimed while claiming his prize recently at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Tifton. "I kept having dreams that flashed, 'Big Winner!'"
Hodge said he was led to Oak Food Mart, 500 N. Oak St. in Valdosta, where he purchased his lucky ticket.
"I almost passed out," the father of two said. "I checked the ticket 20 times."
With shaky hands and a fast-beating heart, Hodge called his mother, sister and cousin to share the good news.
"I am a witness that dreams do come true," he explained. "It kept running through my mind, and now I am more than happy."
The lucky winner anticipates using his winnings to catch up on his personal affairs.
Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $14.3 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Pre-K Program. More than 1.4 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.2 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.

With antialiasing, there's an apparent limit of 60 frames per second (despite disabling vertical synchronization and the Unreal Engine 3-specific smooth frame rate, the limitation may be at the level of the processor). It's interesting to note that testing with antialiasing enabled established a stepped ranking of all the cards at 1680*1050, with the same hierarchy as at 1920*1200. Only the GT200s could hit 60 fps; the 4850 had trouble staying ahead of the Radeon HD 3870 here, but at least it could play with antialiasing enabled, unlike its older brother. But it still wasn't able to catch the 9800 GTX +, while remaining up to 26% behind (at 1920*1200 + filters), and 35% behind the Radeon HD 3870 X2 at 2560*1600.

0TechSupport , 25 June 2008 19:43Bottom line as i see it, this is a Smashing card!
Prices on the UK market put a HD4850 at £120 (ebuyer.com) where as the GTX260 is £300! considering the overal performance difference between the two, i'd get 2 HD4850's in Crossfire mode and still be cheaper than a GTX260.
Once again AMD/ATI have produced a card that isnt amazing on performance, but bang for your buck its probably the best card on the market at those prices
0david__t , 25 June 2008 19:54The very fact that, yet again, we have a whole page dedicated to noise is a sure sign that these manufacturers still don't have all of the priorities covered. How many years ago was it that THG posted that funny video showing an Nvidia card as a leaf blower & barbecue? - and still we have to put up with substandard cooling solutions. I haven't bought a graphics card for years now without getting an aftermarket heatsink to go with it - thank god for companies like Zalman & Thermalright who are sparing our ears!!
0americanbrian , 26 June 2008 01:37I have seen on the reg that the 4870 more than doubles the performance of a 3870. If this is true and they hit a ~$300 price tag than AMD/ATI are back baby.
Apparently they use 160W at load but beat the 3870 on performance/W by a long way.
Can't wait to see it. Even though I know that this site rakes in more from intel/nvidia.
0QueueMan , 26 June 2008 14:26http://www.pcper.com/images/reviews/581/4870cf/cod4-2048-bar.jpg
Dual 4870s can take on a 280 no sweat and push for serious performance, and they're supposedly near similar price. By itself the 4870 takes on the $100USD more; 260. I smell price drops.
0JohnVulcan , 28 June 2008 14:55Thanks to Tom's Hardware for including the FSX test in these results. It's interesting to see how differently the cards line up with FSX. No other game produces similar results or shows up the new technology in a different light. To any serious simmer it is the AA/AF performance on big screens that is crucial and this shows the biggest differences and biggest insights. Also it was good to see that my card (an overclocked 8800 GTX) is still top of the pile!
0Anonymous , 29 June 2008 19:49lets just hope that this brings in enough profits to help the CPU market, because if you look at the info on the intel nahalem, it looks as though they have alot more potential, but they dont want to release that potential just yet, where as, if AMD release a competitor then we might just see the nahalems full potential!!

Yes, exactly, just what I needed, ANOTHER RANGEFINDER. ("Hi, my name is Matt, and, I'm addicted to old rangefinders." "HI MATT...!" ) Well, I'd been curious about the performance of the Industar-50 lens and though previously reluctant to own one because of its - er - unusual design, I couldn't pass up the chance when I saw one affixed to this unusual red Zorki 6. The Zorki 6 is the last unique model of the Zorki rangefinders, incorporating all of the things they learned along the way: compact design, wind lever, hinged back, wide rangefinder base, AND strap lugs. No slow speeds or hot shoe though. Now, to be fair, the Zorki 4K is actually newer (production from 1972-77) -- it's an 'improvement' on the venerable and long-lived 4, with a hinged back and somewhat dorky-looking wind lever. It also has a wider shutter speed range of of 1 - 1/1000. BUT, the speeds are painted on rather than engraved and wear off easily. And it lacks strap lugs.
Overall the Zorki 6 has got a great feel - nicely compact and balanced, with a short and smooth shutter release stroke. The hinged back makes for easy film loading. The compact design makes it a pleasure to hold. Now, the wind lever sounds like it would be more convenient than a knob, and on a modern Japanese rangefinder like the Konica Auto S2 or the Yashica GSN it is indeed, but the geared lever on this, like that on the FED 3b (it's nearly identical) and FED 5, actually make me wish for a smooth-winding knob like on a late model FED 2. (That sentence makes sense, I swear!) It's a longish stroke too, easily 180 degrees, though you can double-pump if you like. Speaking of the FED rangefinders, if you're familiar, the Zorki 6 feels kind of like a FED 2 with a FED 3 style wind lever.
At any rate, it's a handsome camera that's hard not to love, and if you don't mind the lack of slow speeds it's likely to become a favorite shooter as it has for many others who don't want to admit they have a FED 5 in their arsenal.
What I thought at first was a clean, functioning classic soon revealed itself as a cosmetically nice old dog needing more than exercise to get it going again. The first issues I saw were that the wind lever was very stiff, and the aperture ring was wiggly. So I removed the top of the camera and lubed the gearing (isn't that what everyone does when they get a new camera?) but it made only a marginal difference. So on a tip from a fellow ruscam afictionado, I found that loosening the two dark screws that hold down the gearing cover below the wind lever freed up some pent-up tension and let the wind stroke be more relaxed and free. After retightening them and fixing them with some nail polish, now the wind is smooth like butter. And of course I Windexed all the glass while I was in there. Then I packed a little grease into the aperture ring to take up some of the movement, seems better now.
After running some film through it, I saw that it had two other problems: a light leak on the latch side, and an inability to focus to infinity. I started to take apart the lens to adjust it and then got an idea - I tested it with a known-good Industar-26M using frosted glass and a loupe at the film plane and found that it wouldn't reach infinity either! So I removed the lens mount plate (four screws) and found a paper shim underneath, which I removed to let the lens mount be closer to the film plane, and that worked. Why would the shim hinder and not help? Who knows! As for the light leak, I saw that the camera must have received a ding on the door; the edge of the door by the latch was bent and not mating properly. I gently but firmly straightened it with a pliers wrapped in electrical tape. Now it mates much more effectively. Note that the hinge side should already be sealed with a permanent strip of felt. There is no such strip on the latch side, so proper mating of the door is critical to the light-tightness of the back, but I put one on mine anyway, as I was still having an issue. Just a strip of self-adhesive felt on the door latch side, and it did the trick.
Tips & Tricks
Unlike with most FSU rangefinders you don't need to cock the shutter before changing speeds, but if like me you have several it's probably best to retain the habit throughout so you don't screw up the shutter on your FED 2...
The tripod mount is not the standard 1/4" mount, but the European 3/8" mount that requires an adapter, which you can find if you look around.
And for you tinkerers - if you're attempting to dismantle your Z-6, note that the collar surrnounding the shutter release, and the locknut underneath it, are reverse-threaded. Vertical adjustment for the rangefinder is done by rotating the circular rangefinder lens on the upper front of the camera; horizontal (infinity) adjustment is done with a screw hidden underneath one of the nameplate screws. Another quick note - if you take off the bottom plate for any reason, note that there are two spacer washers on the door side screw holes that give clearance for the door to close properly. They like to fall out and get lost on the floor if you're not careful.

The doctors, practising a uniquely Chinese style of integrated medicine, established a great reputation for their efficacy and benevolence. As China once again focuses on her economic and political relations with Africa, how will this realign her international health diplomacy?
Qing Hao or sweet wormwood (artemisia annua) was for centuries known as effective for intermittent fever in classical Chinese medicine. After many years of research and trials in Asia it is now part of the leading WHO approved anti-malaria treatment.
'Impossible is Nothing' was one of the slogans of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China's great 'coming out' party. But what does China need to do to consolidate its gains and aspirations?
Silk manuscript from a Han Dynasty tomb (closed 168 BCE) illustrates Yangsheng (Life Nurturing) therapeutic exercise forms, some of which are practised in substantially the same manner to this day.
The UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity takes an interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching, and is strong in the social sciences: history and culture, archaeology, the environment, law and international health and development. It is committed to UCL's Grand Challenges especially as they relate to China: global health, sustainable cities, intercultural interaction and human wellbeing.
The Confucian concept Ren 仁, the quality that makes
individual and society 'human' or 'humane', is at the centre of contemporary
Chinese ethical discourse and CCHH will take up this debate in relation to
health. We support
interdisciplinary research and education in all these aspects of
China's health, and China's impact on world health, past, present and
The Centre brings together UCL's considerable China expertise in an ambitious programme of teaching and research. We aim to develop existing connections and facilitate new collaborative initiatives with institutions in China, creating new spaces for dialogue and debate about effective and appropriate health interventions.

The Fraud Act 2006
Every business must be aware of their obligations and responsibilities in ensuring that there are policies and procedures in place to deal with fraudulent activity. Business law of this type is covered by the Fraud Act 2006.
Basically, in any context, fraud means an act of dishonesty which has the intention of gaining something or causing a loss.
Under the Fraud Act there are three kinds of fraud which can be committed by businesses.
Types of fraud
Fraud by false representation
This covers dishonest statements, both written and oral, made with intent to deceive. The Act prevents businesses from publishing misleading, false or deceptive material with intent, and forbids them from being reckless with the truth.
Fraud by failing to disclose information
Within the context of business law, there are certain bits of information that directors have a legal duty to disclose, such as:
- Details of share dealings
- Contracts or proposed contracts, to be shared with fellow directors of the company
- Information for investors, such as assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses etc
- Knowledge that should be expected to be shared in a fiduciary capacity with the company
Fraud by abuse of position
This part of the Act prevents individuals within companies from dishonestly taking advantage of their power over others to benefit themselves or a third party.
This covers their fiduciary duty to act in the company's and its shareholders' best interests, to not solely benefit from a large transaction to the detriment of the rest of the company, to not use insider information when dealing in securities and to not abuse and manipulate the market.
To make sure they are compliant with the Fraud Act 2006, the majority of businesses should have in place a Fraud Prevention Policy.
As a minimum, boards and directors should familiarise themselves with the Act, be aware of their duties as a director as prescribed by common law, business law and the Companies Act 2006, and make sure that processes are in place to ensure that information and statements made by and on behalf of the company are accurate.

Led Zeppelin rolls out catalog on Spotify starting today
One of the most coveted catalogs in rock history is arriving on streaming audio site Spotify beginning today. Led Zeppelin and Spotify will be rolling out the legendary hard rock band's entire Atlantic/Swan Song catalog over the next five days. Today, listeners can hear "Led Zeppelin" and "Led Zeppelin II," and on Thursday they can stream "III" and "IV/Untitled/ZOSO."
On Friday, Spotify will post "Houses of the Holy" and the classic double album "Physical Graffiti." The original studio album rollout on Spotify concludes with "Presence" and "In Through the Out Door" on Saturday. Finally, Spotify will post the band's live collections and odds-and-sods albums, "The Song Remains the Same," "Coda," "How the West Was Won," the "Mothership" box set and the band's 2012 London reunion, "Celebration Day."
Word started filtering about a potential deal with one of the streamers about a year ago and that guitarist Jimmy Page was once again remastering the catalog. While audiophile vinyl is probably best, "Ramble On" sounds pretty spectacular on Spotify's high-quality setting, and tomorrow you get "Misty Mountain Hop" — just in time for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."
For a more complete look at the Led Zeppelin/Spotify deal, check out Monday's Static column.

A study of African American and Chinese women shows a possible link between a high-carb diet and type two diabetes.
Experts say refined carbohydrates, like some pastas and rice, increase blood sugar and the demand for insulin.
A study of over 60 thousand Chinese women found those who ate the most carbs a day had a nearly 30 percent increased risk for type two diabetes compared to those who ate the least.
However, a study of 40 thousand African American women found those who kept a healthy weight and incorporated high amounts of whole grains into their diet had a nearly 60 percent reduced risk for the disease.

SUN CITY: Volunteers target seniors
Habitat for Humanity, Citibank team up to help out
SUN CITY ... The trim on Ruth Goulet's home has needed a paint touch-up for a while, but the 78-year-old Sun City resident said she doesn't trust herself on a ladder anymore, and has to prioritize how she spends her Social Security check.
With that, home repairs and yard maintenance often fall by the wayside, she said.
But on Saturday, a swarm of volunteers helped Goulet with her trim and much more. They cut back the trees and bushes in her front yard, pulled weeds, swept ... even washed her windows.
Goulet was one of seven elderly Sun City residents who benefited Saturday from a joint project between Citibank's "Global Community Day"and Habitat for Humanity's "Helping Hands" program.
The two groups teamed up to help the seven residents by taking on yard work and other projects that the homeowners couldn't easily accomplish because of health or financial constraints.
Citibank provided about 100 volunteers from across the county for the event, and Habitat for Humanity helped organize it and donated supplies.
"I feel our senior citizen population is in need," said Tammy Marine, executive director for Habitat for Humanity's regional office. "It's a joy to provide relief to that population."
The overall effort might have cost an estimated $10,000 when factoring in the volunteer man hours and donated supplies, Marine said.
Many seniors take pride in their homes, and would do the work themselves if they were not struggling with health or money issues, she said.
"They would if they could, but they literally can't," Marine said.
That's the case for John and Margaret Orpe. The couple got into a severe car accident last year. Since then, it's been impossible to tackle home and yard projects, they said.
"We used to do a lot more before then," said Margaret Orpe, 74. "My husband can't use his right arm anymore."
On Saturday, the couple watched as about10 volunteers washed their windows, raked away leaves and weeds from their backyard, and repainted a patio rocking chair and picnic table.
"I just want to say how thankful we are that they remembered us seniors," said John Orpe, 78. "This is a terrific bunch."
Margaret Orpe said she was looking forward to sitting on her favorite rocking chair again. She said she has had it for nearly 20 years, and has wanted to restain it for a long time.
She said the effort reminded her of when she lived in England during World War II, and neighbors would come together to help each other out after bombing raids.
"I think this is just wonderful," she said. "It's amazing."
The recipients were not the only ones smiling Saturday. Several volunteers said they were pleased to help out.
"It makes me feel good to help people who aren't able to do the work on their own," said Citibank employee and Palm Springs resident Donny Thompson.
Many of the workers brought their family members and children to help out.
Debbie Walser, a manager with Citibank and a Moreno Valley resident, said the company's third annual volunteer effort is a massive undertaking, with tens of thousands of volunteers across the globe giving back to their communities Saturday.
Walser said she especially liked this year's local project in Sun City.
"I can see the necessity for our older citizens who can't do this anymore, but want to take pride in their homes and yards," she said.
Saturday marked the first time Citibank employee Cindy Russell pitched in with the annual undertaking. Pausing under the hot, midday sun after trimming all the hedges around Goulet's home, Russell said it's hard work, but worth it.

Summary:Inspired by the life of Hank Garland, a legendary musician who joined the Grand Ol' Opry at 15 and rose to fame in the early 1950s as Nashville's premiere session guitarist. Garland's immense, innovative talents grace the timeless recordings of such music icons as Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline. In 1961, he startled the music world by jumping genres from country and pop to jazz with the release of "Jazz Winds From A New Direction," a tour de force that to this day is considered an all-time classic jazz album. Tragically, a near-fatal car crash cut Garland's extraordinary career short. Bur forty-three years later, his stunning artistic triumphs live on in cou... Full Summary >>

PETALUMA -- The nonprofit organization Committee on the Shelterless, better known as COTS, announced a shift in leadership, with Mike Johnson, the agency's chief operating officer, assuming the role of chief executive officer.
[caption id="attachment_73538" align="alignleft" width="200"] John Records[/caption]
Effective July 1, Mr. Johnson will replace current and longtime Executive Director John Records, who will be transitioning to the COTS board of directors, where he will continue in an advisory role for fundraising and development of programs, according to the Petaluma nonprofit that serves the homeless and provides transitional and temporary housing.
The change in leadership is part of a strategic plan to coincide with the 25th anniversary of COTS, officials said. Mr. Records has served as executive director for 21 of those years. He will continue to assist the organization, founded in 1988, with research and collaborative efforts, including an ongoing partnership with the University of Albany, New York.
"I feel great satisfaction having guided COTS to its 25th successful year including gaining national recognition for our work to transform lives," Mr. Records said in a statement. "I am proud to be part of the team that has built a strong foundation for COTS, including mentoring my successor, to ensure that we continue to provide award-winning services to our community for many years to come."
His successor, Mr. Johnson, has been with COTS since 1999 and become COO in 2010. He manages day-to-day operations at the nonprofit, which has an annual budget of $3 million, a staff of 30 full-time employees and 120 volunteers who account for roughly 40,000 hours.
"Our goal at COTS is to continue to provide the outstanding services and programs that have effectively and successfully transformed the lives of thousands of people in our community," Mr. Johnson said. "The agency's number one priority will be support for our "Invest in Miracles" development strategy to sustain the long-term health of our programs for homeless families and adults."
COTS currently offers nearly 319 bed per night for those without shelter, including 177 children last year, and its kitchen serves more than 126,000 meals per year, delivering over 762,000 pounds of food annually.
In addition to providing shelter, COTS has a significant positive impact on Petaluma's local economy, according to a 2012 study by Economic Forensics & Analytics, which is run by Dr. Robert Eyler, who is also director of Sonoma State University's executive MBA progam and Center for Regional Economic Analysis.

Nice staff and location is wonderful. The cleanliness of the bath house is fantastic and the free shuttle bus around the island (Acadia National Park) is a great service. - rst6
Jun 2014 - $47.00
As someone else mentioned, this campground IS NOT big rig friendly. The inner roads are incredibly tight with many obstacles in the way. Fences, rocks, railroad ties, and other campers. Utilities are fine. Sites are not level. Dog walk is overgrown with grass and weeds. Bathrooms are dated but adequate. We were there before the busy season. Can't imagine it with a full camp. We will find another campground as long as we are in a bigger camper/fifth wheel. - elaine170
Aug 2012 - $55.00
Very busy camp, but is was the middle of August and next to Acadia National Park. Sites are close together. Shuttle bus stops across the street, very convenient. Staff was very polite and helpful. Not sure if we would stay there again as it was busy and the sites close together, not our first choice, but the location cannot be beat. - Wsurf

NetBackup Operations Manager (NOM) was introduced with Veritas NetBackup 6.0. It is a core component of the product providing advanced operational monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting and reporting. Designed to support NetBackup administrators and the operations team, NOM is focused on real-time, centralized monitoring across the NetBackup environment.
Some of the highlights covered in this document include:
- Advanced Operational Management Capabilities in NOM – Key Features and Benefits
- NOM and Veritas Backup Reporter – The Complete Management & Reporting Solution
Advanced Operational Management
NOM provides monitoring and management across multiple NetBackup servers. Communication between the NOM server and NetBackup managed servers is continuous, providing a real-time view of operations. A select subset of servers can be monitored using advanced data filtering options. Custom or ready-to-use filters allow only information satisfying the defined conditions to be presented. For instance, a filter may be applied to display only jobs for a specific client or policy, or to include/exclude certain exit status codes. These views might be critical in quickly communicating backup health of a particular customer's environment or identifying issues with a set of mission critical systems.
Web-based administration
Often the greatest challenge with globally distributed, complex enterprise data centers is remote administration. Issues range from slow connections that require significantly increased administration time to installations with large system footprints that consume valuable space and resources. The NOM interface is Web-based and provides efficient remote administration across multiple NetBackup servers from a single, centralized console. Administration can be done from any Web-enabled system. There is little system resource impact as there are no local installation requirements beyond the browser platform.

Online Ad Revenues in 2007 up 26%; Growth Still Slow
According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, online advertising revenues for 2007 came to a total of $21.2 billion, up 26% from the $16.6 billion internet advertisers spent the previous year. Revenues for the fourth quarter in 2007 were $5.9 billion, up 13% over 2007's third quarter and 24% over 2006's fourth quarter. However, despite these highs, growth is still relatively slow.
Yet the report, which IAB worked on with PricewaterhouseCoopers, which calculated the figures, shows the resilience of online advertising as traditional media has been affected by the economic downturn. Segments that make up internet advertising, like display, search, classifieds and lead generation, showed the following results in 2007 according to the study:

Rihanna's first two videos from Rated R have been fairly somber, severe affairs. Well, she's breaking that trend pretty definitively with the video she just released for her new single, "Rude Boy." It's a wild explosion of clashing colors, bold block lettering, and shaky camerawork. As many observers instantly pointed out, it all owes more than a little to the aesthetic of M.I.A. – which, if you ask me, is not a bad thing at all.
On another note, the "zoo animals" section of this video's budget must have been off the chain. Click play below to see Rihanna partying with a lion and a zebra (along with several human beings), then let us know what you think of Ri-Ri's latest production.

I'll tell my opinion.
I will not say that the hack "Azure Horizons" did not deserve to win the contest. But I think he should not have more points in graphical presentation that the Light Platinum. Because all tiles the Azure Horizons is Fire Red tiles, and Light Platinum tiles 90% are the created by WesleyFG (and other 10% are from other tilers).
The only way to solve this problem of votes for friendship, it's doing the voting with entire community.
I'm not saying they voted for friendship, but it's not impossible, no?
If do vote with the entire community will be very difficult to have voting friendship.

Kansas City, MO -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced that a public meeting will be held on April 17, 2003, to discuss the evaluation of the performance of the utility, state and local participants in a full-scale/ingestion exercise with the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant, located near Fulton, Missouri.
Members of the public and the media are invited to attend this meeting beginning at 1 p.m. at the State Emergency Operation Center, 2302 Militia Drive, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Representatives from FEMA's Region VII office, located in Kansas City, Missouri, will chair the meeting and discuss offsite activities. A representative from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Region IV office, located in Arlington, Texas, will discuss the onsite activities.
The state of Missouri, along with the counties of Callaway, Gasconade, Montgomery and Osage will participate with the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant in a two-day exercise on April 15-16, 2003.
The exercise will require the activation of the Emergency Operations Centers for the state of Missouri, as well as the above listed counties. The activities of the state, county and local units of government will be observed and evaluated by FEMA. The Callaway Nuclear Power Plant onsite performance will be observed and evaluated by NRC.
The exercise is a biennial requirement to determine the adequacy of the radiological emergency preparedness and response plans. The primary focus is on the ability of the state of Missouri, the utility and the participating counties to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant. The evaluated exercise provides reasonable assurance that the appropriate protective measures can be taken onsite and offsite in the event of a radiological emergency.
The NRC is the federal agency responsible for evaluating onsite emergency plans and exercises for nuclear power plants. FEMA is responsible for evaluating offsite plans and exercises for states and counties through the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.
