Its not fully clear for me what do you exactly want to check, but I guess you ask how to check if fields are updated correctly (in all Sxxx tables).
If so, then I do not know any better way that checking logs.
Logs for LIS tables are not generated automatically, so for your user you have to add parameter MCL with value X. You can do it in SU3.
Afterwards you test processes for which you expect some updates.
You create in VA01 sales order and save it
After saving you execute transaction MC30 and there you see exactly what LIS tables were updated and what are the values.
I hope this solve your problem.
Sales Activity reports are not working. MCTV01
Ok. so you have to investigate it, but I guess you checked them using a transaction I advised you, right ?
Check if the link below is helpful:

 Receivers coach Darrell Wyatt running a drill Friday

TUCSON--University of Arizona coaches played host to 140 coaches from Arizona, Texas and California Friday in the spring Arizona Football Coaches Clinic, and then readied the team with a workout in shells Friday afternoon for Saturday's planned practice that will include some scrimmage.

The Saturday workout is from 9:45 a.m. to noon in Arizona Stadium and open to the public. Practices in spring are closed except for this weekend's drill and the annual Spring Game set for Saturday, April 14.

Friday morning coaches clinic sessions included talks by head coach Mike Stoops, defensive coorindator Mark Stoops, offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes and offensive line coach and running game coordinator Bill Bedenbaugh. UA director of football operations said attendance was the best in Stoops' tenure at Arizona.

The clinic opened Thursday evening with dinner and some brainstorming sessions led by both Stoops and Dykes, along with breakout sessions for various units. Guest speakers Friday included John Featherstone, coach at El Camino College in Torrance, Calif.; Dave Henigan, coach at Corsicana, Texas, High School; and Jim Ewan, coach at Chandler, Ariz., High School. UA director of performance enhancement, Corey Edmond, led a session with his staff Friday evening after practice, focusing on speed and functional movement work specific to football.

Arizona concludes its sixth spring practice Saturday of the allotted 15. Stoops has been effusive in his praise for the defensive unit that returns 10 starters and also encouraged by the transformation of the Wildcat offense under Dykes.

The former Texas Texas Tech co-offensive coordinator has installed the multiple spread attack which features prolific use of the forward pass. Tech, in fact, threw the ball more than 600 times in 2006 and Stoops has indicated the Cats will put it in the air 40 to 50 times per game, while retaining enough of the power game to keep a physical character rather than morph into a "finesse" team.

 Clinic coaches at practice

 Mike Thomas in a pattern drill

Stoops credits Dykes and the other new offensive assistants -- Bedenbaugh, passing game coordinator and receivers coach Darrell Wyatt, and running backs coach Michael Smith -- with helping the makeover a smooth process because of their experience and teaching ability.

Noteworthy changes include different schemes for the offensive line, a full package of patterns and routes for four different receiver groups, changed responsibilities for running backs, and a simplified but speedier thought process for the quarterbacks, among others. At times, UA will have five or six potential targets on passing plays.

The players are loving it. Junior receiver B.J. Dennard, cited as one of the most athletic members of the team for the past three years but not always in the mix on the field, said, "Oh, yeah... it's going to be something." He'll contend for serious playing time this year as a "small H-back," not log-jammed at one or two receiver spots as he might have been in a traditional pro-style attack.

"It's going really well," junior quarterback Willie Tuitama said. "I'm feeling more comfortable each day." Fellow junior Mike Thomas, who has 102 career receptions in his first two years, has been considering the notion he might see 100 balls thrown his way. "I'm ready," he says.

For Jessica Simpson, Doing a VH1 Reality Show Was Like 'Missionary Work'
... we presume she means WATCHING the show felt like some sort of charity endeavor.
Lindsay Lohan supposedly used to "fool" her alcohol-monitoring bracelet by putting tea tree oil on it, or jamming the signal with a paperclip. Jessica Simpson says that making her reality show, The Price of Beauty, was like doing "missionary work." The scandal-ridden Sarah Ferguson is in New York hawking her advice books for children, commenting, "Actually, when I was going to talk to you about my books, I suddenly realized that maybe I should take a leaf out of my own books." Meanwhile, Donald Trump wants to find her a role on The Apprentice. Bristol Palin confessed that getting pregnant at 17 was "kind of humiliating." And Mariah Carey pulled out of her role in Tyler Perry's upcoming flick, fueling rumors that she's preggers.
After being arrested last month for running over a no-parking sign and leaving the scene without reporting it, Heather Locklear was cleared of hit-and-run charges. Kirsten Dunst's purse was stolen from her suite at the Soho Grand, and the thief's lawyer claims it's because there were drugs inside. Martha Stewart sat outside at Fatty Crab, gnawing on chili crab with her bare hands and chatting with chef Zak Pelaccio. Daniel Craig and Bruce Springsteen drew attention at Le Bilboquet, as did the Dalai Lama. And while promoting Prince of Persia, Jake Gyllenhaal referred to his ripped physique as "Sex and the City," announcing, "I would just like to say to all the ladies out there, I know this is a big weekend for you in North America this (stands up and points at his body) is Sex and the City — and if you want to see Sex and The City 2 — just see my movie twice."
Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan have been seen getting cozy around L.A., despite saying they're "just friends" and denying reports that they've had a long-running affair which led to Robbins's divorce from Susan Sarandon. Uma Thurman hopped a flight to London to be with her money-manager ex-fiancé, Arki Busson, fueling rumors of a rekindling. Ryan O'Neal is easing the loss of Farrah Fawcett by dating Cheryl Tiegs. Sandra Bullock is slated to attend the MTV Movie Awards, her first big post-split appearance. And despite the fact that she has "no friends" and has cut off ties to her family, Heidi Montag claims to be happier than ever, patriotically tweeting, " My last surgery was the BEST decision of my life!... I truly look the way I have always dreamed, I love America and freedom!"

Sam Bailey's first album, "The Power of Love," has debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. for the week ending April 5, 2014. The Official Charts Company made the announcement on March 30, 2014.
According to the Official Charts Company, "The Power of Love" is the first 'X Factor" U.K. winner's album to debut at No. 1 in the U.K. since Alexandra Burke's "Overcome" in 2009. Burke was the winner of "The X Factor" U.K. in 2008. The Official Charts Company also reports that "The Power of Love" has sold "nearly 73,000 copies in its first week on sale. It has also become the fastest-selling artist album of 2014 so far [in the U.K.], beating current record holder Pharrell Williams' opening week tally of 69,000 for his latest album 'G I R L.'"
Bailey, a former prison guard, was the winner of "The X Factor" U.K. in 2013. The Official Chart Company's announcement about of her No. 1 album came on the same day as the U.K.'s Mother's Day.
She commented to the Official Charts Company about "The Power of Love" debuting at No. 1: "This really is the icing on the cake to an incredible few months. I've worked hard to get where I am and I'm so happy that everyone is liking what I'm doing, it really is a dream come true!"
Bailey was recently on "The X Factor" U.K. 2014 tour, which features the show's Top 8 finalists from 2013. The tour began on Feb. 15 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and ended March 29 in Birmingham, England.
On March 5, 2014, Bailey (who is 36) announced that she's pregnant with her third child. The baby is due in late December 2014, possibly on Dec. 31.
She and her husband, Craig (who is 40), have an 8-year-old daughter named Brooke and a 5-year-old son named Tommy.
Bailey told the Daily Mirror that she took the pregnancy test while she and her husband were shopping in a grocery store: "I went and did it in the toilet while he was getting all the food. I came out and I went, 'Yep, I'm pregnant.' It wasn't planned.
"When I got into the car I was really upset because I thought I'd let everyone at my management and the record label down. But they were really good about it. I was going to go on tour solo at the end of October [2014] but I have managed to move it to January [2015]."
On Feb. 27, 2014, Bailey announced details for her 2015 "The Power of Love" tour of the United Kingdom. The announcement was made on her official Internet outlets, such as her Facebook page. Tickets went on sale on Feb. 28, 2014. (See the tour dates at the end of this article.)
The tour begins on Jan. 29, 2015. If Bailey gives birth by the due date, that means her baby will be less than a month old when she goes on tour.
As for her unexpected pregnancy, Bailey said that one of the first people she told was Sharon Osbourne, who was Bailey's "X Factor" mentor. Osbourne, the wife/manager of Ozzy Osbourne is also a mother of three kids. Bailey told the Daily Mirror: "I'm quite close to Sharon. We speak quite a lot. She's my confidante and has known about the pregnancy. She's been great."
As part of her "X Factor" grand prize, Bailey is signed to Syco Music, the record company co-owned by Simon Cowell and Sony Music. Cowell (who is 54) became a first-time father when his son Eric was born on Feb. 14, 2014.
Bailey said about Cowell: "I hope I'll see him soon. I can teach him how to change a nappy."
As previously reported, Bailey's first album, "The Power of Love," was released in the U.K. and Ireland on March 24, 2014.
Bailey's "The Power of Love" album consists almost entirely of cover songs. Her version of Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper," which is on the album, debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. and Ireland when Bailey's remake of "Skyscraper" was released in December 2013.
"Compass" and "There You'll Be," which were both written by Diane Warren, are the only two new songs on the album.
BBC Radio 2 debuted "Compass" on Feb. 18, 2014.
The rest of the album consists of songs that were originally hits for other artists, such as Jennifer Rush ("The Power of Love"), Shania Twain ("From This Moment On"), Jennifer Holliday ("And I Am Telling You"), Supertramp ("Lord Is It Mine"), Oleta Adams ("Get Here"), Bruno Mars ("Treasure"), Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough") and Alicia Keys ("Superwoman").

Ill have a go at this whole mock draft thing:
1. C.J. Spiller - RB
Speedy home run threat that can share carries with Gore, return kicks, and is not a bad reciever either. Scored a touchdown in every game he played in this past season.
1. Trent Williams - OT
Maybe isn't as good at LT as RT but we already have Staley and with this pick we could have 2 nice bookend tackles for several years.
2. Nate Allen - FS
Goldson has emerged as a starter at one safety spot but this is a position of need and Allen is an athletic center field type that gives us a nice young safety duo.
3. OBrien Schofield - OLB
Ahmad Brooks has showed some flashes but we still need to get more pressure on the QB and this guy is excellent at speed rushing off the edge and could compliment Manny on the opposite side pretty nicely.
4. John Jerry - OG
Guard is still a question mark and this mammoth of a man will be a nice asset, especially if we are facing Suh twice a year.
5. Walter Thurmond - CB
Is a first day talent that suffered a knee injury this past year. Can be a nice corner and an excellent return man. A gamble that could pay off big.
6. Reggie Carter - ILB
Not sure if he'll fall this far but was a tackling machine in the pac 10 and Takeo isn't getting any younger.
7. Daniel Gettis - WR
Might go undrafted but lets gamble on this track runner with excellent size and athleticism.
Of course a lot depends on free agaency but I didn't really get into that. I think this draft fills our needs.

Film incentives' fate going down to the wire
Published: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 5:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 5:06 p.m.
Lights. Camera. Get ready for some legislative action over film incentives.
Early 2000s: Canada was getting the lion's share of motion pictures by ponying up both federal and provincial incentives. States decided they wanted a piece of the pie and began passing packages of their own
Mid-2000s: North Carolina passed its first film incentives package allowing production companies to recoup 15 percent of their costs.
Late-2000s: Other states began to create or juice their own incentives packages to allow production companies to recoup between 25 percent and 30 percent of qualifying expenditures. North Carolina's film business languished.
2010: The Democrat-controlled legislature passed a bill allowing film companies to recoup 25 percent of their qualifying expenses.
2012: The sunset date on North Carolina's film incentives was extended to Jan. 1, 2015. While the majority of states had film incentives on their books, some states began to look at reversing those policies.
2014: Lawmakers begin session Wednesday and must decide in the weeks ahead whether to do away with film incentives, extend them as is, or rewrite the incentives package
Local expenditures by the film industry in Wilmington
2006 — $37 million
2007 — $99 million
2008 — $56 million
2009 — $29 million
2010 — $44 million
2011 — $113 million.

The legislative session opens at noon Wednesday in Raleigh, and one of the major issues with local impact that lawmakers will consider in the weeks ahead is whether to extend the state's film incentives package.
Those in support of extending the incentives as they are currently constituted say they hope lawmakers remember that incentives for the movie and television industry have been something that Republicans and Democrats have historically supported — and something that has been on the books for years.
"The film incentive started as a bipartisan effort and continues to be one today," said Katy Feinberg, spokeswoman for the North Carolina Production Alliance.
Some version of film incentives have been in place in North Carolina since the mid-2000s. North Carolina compared to other states was actually on the leading end of offering incentives to draw the movie and television industry during that time.
Between 2007 and 2008 — as the state's first film incentives went into play — local expenditures by the film industry in Wilmington jumped from $37 million to $99 million, said Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission Inc. Statewide, expenditures increased from $100 million to $161 million.
But the industry languished the following three years as other states implemented or juiced their incentives to 25 percent to 30 percent of qualifying expenditures compared to North Carolina's 15 percent. For example, by 2009, Wilmington claimed just $29 million in local film expenditures.
North Carolina lawmakers responded in 2010 when the Democratic-controlled legislature passed a bill allowing film companies to recoup 25 percent of their qualifying expenses.
"It was a loss of jobs; it was a loss of revenue to the state, and we were only able to barely hang on until we could improve our offerings," said state Rep. Susi Hamilton, D-New Hanover, of the old incentives package.
Republican Rep. Danny McComas, now retired from the Legislature, was among the local delegation that pushed for a juicing of the incentives. It was a good idea then and remains one now, he said.
"I would only hope they don't try to fix something that's not broken," McComas said Tuesday on the eve of session.
In 2012, the legislature passed and Gov. Beverly Perdue signed into law a measure that extended the sunset date of the incentives to Jan. 1, 2015.
So that puts the debate over film incentives squarely in the court of the current legislature. Without action, they will fade away, and supporters say so would the film industry that brings jobs to Wilmington, Charlotte and other regions of the state.
The incentives could be extended as is, allowed to expire or be rewritten — with the latter being a very likely possibility. Hard-line supporters of the industry would like for legislators to do away with the sunset dates altogether that create uncertainty every few years. Georgia, for instance, has no sunset date on its enabling legislation and has become a mecca for big-name, high-dollar films. But the sunset dates allow for a compromise of sorts, a way to extend the incentives while offering a window to readdress them at a later date.
If supporters had their way, legislators also would have addressed film incentives during last year's long session — avoiding a down-to-the-wire decision. But as lawmakers took up a controversial, unprecedented rewrite of the tax code, the debate over film incentives was largely punted to this year.
Challenges ahead
Still, there were a few significant proposals last session that could foreshadow the pending debate likely to take place in the weeks ahead.
For one, there was an unexpected vote last year during a House committee hearing during debate on the massive tax overhaul package to do away with the incentives. It narrowly died on a tie vote.
Furthermore, two local legislators — Republican Reps. Rick Catlin of New Hanover County and Chris Millis of Pender County — started a heated debate over the incentives when they proposed a bill they said was designed to address a constitutional concern with the way the incentives are paid out.
Currently, if credits allowed under the state's film incentives package exceed the amount of taxes the production company owes to the state, the state writes a check to the company for the difference. The Catlin/Millis bill would have eliminated that and instead waived any tax liability the company accrued over five years up to the credit limit.
Since most film companies have no tax liability in North Carolina, that would have killed any financial incentive to film here, industry supporters said.
This issue is likely to resurface again.
But as North Carolina lawmakers debate the future of film incentives, they are not alone. Nationwide, 39 states have film incentives of their books, a number that has grown significantly since the early 2000s, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Pulling back
In the early 2000s, Canada was getting the lion's share of motion pictures by ponying up both federal and provincial incentives. Shortly after that, states, including North Carolina, decided they wanted a piece of the Hollywood game and began to compete with incentives packages of their own.
But in recent years, some states have pulled back on these incentives.
"As the number of states offering film incentives has grown, so have the debates surrounding the benefits and economic impacts of these programs," conference of legislatures said in recently published report.
States that have recently ended their programs include Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin.
Part of the problem, the report says, is the difficulty of evaluating the economic impact of these incentives, as well as economic development programs more broadly.
Studies stake claims on both sides of the film incentives issue.
For example, a recent industry-commissioned report by an N.C. State professor found that film producers provided a net gain of $25.3 million to the state in 2012, and that the industry sustains more than 4,000 jobs to boot.
But a review of that study by the state's Legislative Services Office Fiscal Research Division challenged that claim, saying return on investment for the state revenues is less than 50 cents on the dollar.
Still, Wilmington's Griffin, said a look at the hard numbers shows that the incentive as it stands plays a role in economic development and job creation.
"I think it shows the incentives, like them or not, are directly responsible for the spikes we have had in film production business and its economic impact," he said. "When we have the incentives we do great, and it shows as soon as those incentives start to weaken, it goes away."
But at least one top Republican leader is against the incentives as they are currently structured, highlighting a tough fight ahead. Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger said it "lacks safeguards that protect taxpayers' interests and fails to provide the accountability North Carolinians expect from our job incentives programs."

Rossi Takes his Rightful Place at the Top with Jerez Win
Reigning World Champion, Valentino Rossi, finally took a race win in the 2009 season at Jerez today during Round 3 of the 2009 MotoGP Championship.
After teammate Jorge Lorenzo qualified on pole, many expected the young Spaniard to run away with the race. Instead it was another local who leaped off the line and factory Repsol Honda rider, Dani Pedrosa, led for much of the race. Pedrosa quickly opened up a 1 second lead from Stoner, Lorenzo and Rossi. After dispatching his teammate, Rossi slowly overhauled Stoner on the factory Ducati and set off after Pedrosa. The Honda rider put on a valiant effort but eventually succumbed to Rossi. Meanwhile, Lorenzo closed on Stoner and looked as if he would take a place on the podium. It wasn't to be as he lost the front end with 3 laps to go. He remounted but there was too much damage to continue.
Randy De Puniet impressed with his 4th place finish as did Marco Melandri on the Hayate Racing Kawasaki. Mika Kallio retired making Sete Gibernau's 11th place the next Ducati home after Stoner. Nicky Hayden continued his troubled season to date with a 15th place finish.
Rossi now leads the championship after 3 rounds with 65 points from Stoner on 54. Pedrosa and Lorenzo both have 41 points. The next race will be at Le Mans, France on May 17th.

2011/12 USPRO Crit Nationals headed to Grand Rapids
Colorado Springs, Colo. (Sept. 30, 2010) — USA Cycling has announced Grand Rapids, Michigan, as the host site for the 2011/2012 USA Cycling Professional Criterium National Championships. The professional men's national championship race will operate in tandem with the Grand Cycling Classic, though a specific date is still being determined.
The 2011 edition will also mark a new era in American bike racing with only U.S. citizens allowed to participate in the pro criterium national championships. In previous editions, any rider who was a part of a UCI trade team could enter the race, with the first American crossing the line crowned the national champion. Following in the footsteps of the USA Cycling Professional Road and Time Trial National Championships, the professional criterium national championship event will permit only American cyclists to start.
"Criterium-style bike racing is extremely popular in North America and the United States has many very talented criterium cyclists," said USA Cycling CEO Steve Johnson. "Changing the format of this event to a stand-alone national championship limited to American riders is a great step that will eliminate the current and sometimes confusing disconnect between winning the race and winning the Stars-and-Stripes jersey. Now is the right time for this change, and Grand Rapids will provide the perfect venue to showcase our top American riders."
The City of Grand Rapids was selected as host out of four strong, final candidate cities following a nationwide search and competitive bid process. The combination of proven experience, strong local sports commission support and solid sponsorship commitment helped the Grand Rapids bid stand out.
"We are very excited to have been selected," said Mike Guswiler, executive director of the West Michigan Sports Commission. "The Grand Cycling Classic has continued to grow into a popular event in downtown Grand Rapids and now, to have the USA Cycling Pro Criterium National Championships as part of this event, brings it to another level and answers the mission of the sports commission in promoting our region as a premier venue for hosting major sporting events."
The Grand Cycling Classic has been a strong event on the USA Cycling National Racing Calendar since 2007 and consists of a classic six-turn criterium course in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. The route includes sections of the historic red brick street pavers, a renowned feature of the downtown business district.
"Arlington Sports is honored to be the promoting organization for the pro criterium nationals," said Race Director Rob Laybourn, president of Arlington Sports. "Grand Rapids was my childhood home, so I am doubly honored, not only to be selected to run the national championships, but to also be able to bring an event to Grand Rapids and support the mission of the sports commission."
"Grand Rapids' selection as home for the USPRO Crit for the next two years is a perfect complement to hometown team Bissell," said Robert Hughes, president of Advantage Benefits. "The Bissell Pro Cycling team is one of the top domestic teams in the U.S. — a team that produced the 2010 USPRO Crit champion. We are excited to be able to race for the championship in 2011 in our hometown."

La Guerre du FeuMarch 8, 2012
A distinctive collaboration between French artists Estelle Hanania and Christophe Brunnquell, two years in the making, will be unveiled next month at the 12 Mail / Red Bull Space in Paris. Chrisophe Brunnquell, artistic director for Purple Fashion, allows access into an element of his multi-faceted career, drawing inspiration from Estelle Hanania, whose dedication to photography has led her to document a sporadic pictorial of daily life, while also working with various magazines such as Vice, Wire, Sang Bleu and Capricious.
The combination of both Hanania and Brunnquell's instinct plays an important role in their exhibition, La Guerre du Feu (The War of Fire), in which they create a portrait of the "crude world they present today." The element of performance in both artists' interaction with live models makes for unprecedented outcomes, letting ideas that are sketched out before the shoot flourish in any form.
Power bounces between the partnership, with Brunnquell often stubbornly negating the models to cause a visceral response, forcing them to attempt to find their place. Hanania will then take over, with her use of masks and raw art defacing the figures and developing upon abstract visuals. What emerges becomes deeply sexual and animalistic, responding exactly to the instructions of the mind, and living out their dreams.
12Mail will publish 1000 limited editions of La Guerre du Feu designed by Estelle Hanani and Christophe Brunnquell themselves.
April 5th to June 1st 2012, 12Mail, Paris.
For more information about the upcoming exhibit see here.

Modesto Police Department
Media Relations Unit
Office of the Chief of Police
Author: Heather Graves
Modesto, CA – Agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and Crime Reduction Team Officers from Modesto Police Department joined forces with law enforcement agencies throughout California in a Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation designed to help reduce youth access to alcohol.
The task force operation was conducted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 and resulted in six arrests. Four individuals were cited for furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors, one individual was arrested for furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor and a warrant and one other individual was arrested for three warrants. The operation was conducted statewide.
ABC agents and local law enforcement conducted a program called a Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation which can lead to the arrest of adults who purchase alcohol for people under 21 years old. Under the program, a minor under the direct supervision of a peace officer will stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. The minor indicates in some way he or she is underage and cannot purchase the alcohol.
If the adults agree to purchase alcohol for the minor, officers then arrest and cite them for furnishing alcohol to the minor. The penalty for furnishing alcohol to a minor is a minimum $1000 fine and 24 hours of community service.
The program is intended to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. According to the American Medical Association, underage drinking can increase chances of risky sexual behavior and teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, compromise health, and result in unintentional injury and death.
Many local operations were funded by the California Alcoholic Beverage Control through the department's Grant Assistance Program (GAP), and some were funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). ABC is a Department of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency.

Re: Domain Controller cannot boot up after restoring the system st

Hello Bobson,
The article will not help you that way it just clarify the supported way from MS.
Acer Fekay [MCT] wrote this article, DO NOT FORGET, UNSUPPORTED WAY:
Moving hardware, or changing hardware, or restoring to new hardware
Restoring to different hardware is one of the most difficult tasks. However,
as a trainer, prior to the courseware's current use of VPCs, we used top
setup the classroom machines with an automated setup. However depending ont
he size of the class, it can take some time. To shorten the setup time, I
used Ghost to ghost an image of specific machines to get the class setup
started. However, where I used to work, each classroom had various brand
name machines.
I developed a system using the following article. This works for Windows XP,
Windwos 2000, and yes, Windows 2003. Create that MergeIDE file as described
in the article, apply it to the reg, and follow the instructions to copy the
specified files into their proper location. It forces Windows to scan for
new hardware at time of boot, therefore allowing you to bring the machine up
with whatever motherboard hardware type it is, basic VGA, IDE, keyboard and
mouse. It does not work with NIC, sound or specific video drivers, unless
Windows already has the driver built in.
For SCSI drivers, such as a PERC, etc, as long as the target machine has the same type of controller, or you move the controller to the new hardware with the drives, such as with RAID, and this of course depends on how different the target is, in their respective locations, it will work.
The point of this is it will allow you to at least get the machine up and running, then you finish off with NIC, video, etc. Just apply it once, and as long as you backup the whole C: drive, and a System State backup (I do them together in one job), any backup that you try to restore C: drive and the System State, you can restore it to something different and it should boot.
If Exchange is on it, and the full C drive restore and System state backup doesn't work, then after you get the machine running, restore your Exchange backup, which of course an Exchange Info Store backup should not be on the same backup job with the System State job.

Hi Meinolf,
Thank you for your response (as usual)! Does it mean I can fix the
restore problem by following the 249649 article?
Rather than using the official method...any other tools you have tried
without big risk to migrate one server to another?
Thank you again!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your help in advanced.
I do this to try to validate my backup. Here is what I did.
There is a domain controoler I backup from. C drive has the OS
System partition and D drive has the Sysvol and NTDS directories.
I use the system state backup from the domain controller and restore
it on a different box by using Windows backup program (the one comes
with the OS). It did not work. The server keeps rebooting.
I thought...hmmm....maybe the System States does not specically tell
the original sysvol and ntds is on D drive. So I restore the two
folders on the test box first before I restore the system state. But
the result is the same.
I would like to ask what step I missed in order to restore the test
box to run as the domain controller? What should I do in order to
restore the domain controller correctly?
Thank you very much for your help!

Football, basketball, baseball. Most people have a general knowledge of these sports - the game's rules, type of equipment used, each player's function. Well the Patriot League's most recent sport addition, women's rowing, is not one of those types of sports where you'll find many people having a casual conversation about the team's strength of schedule, which top players are out with injuries or about filling out brackets in March. Rowing is a sport unlike any other with a very unique lexicon. In this feature Patriot League rowing student-athletes explain different aspects of their sport to serve as an educational tool for those who are not familiar with a sport the Patriot League began to sponsor for the 2005 spring championship season.
What are the functions of a coxswain? What is expected from your position?
JY: The main function of the coxswain is to be an extension of her coach. It is up to the cox to execute the coach's plan, whether it is during practice or on race day. She must find a way to get the most out of her boat on every single stroke, and be the sole voice of her crew. In a sense, it is the coxswain that is the glue that holds the crew together (coach, cox, and rowers).
What skills must an individual possess to be effective at the coxswain position?
JY:Organization, confidence, and leadership are the main skills required to be an effective coxswain.
Why do you play the role of coxswain?
JY:There is no stronger bond than the one formed within a crew. No other group of people share the same level or type of trust in each other as crew members in a boat. It is only the nine members of a crew that place their toes on the edge of a cliff each and every day and, with the call "hands on," jump off together. Being the leader of such a strong unit is such a fulfilling feeling for me.
Explain the different races in the sport of rowing (i.e. first varsity, second varsity, novice).
SK: The different races and events are structured to allow everyone on the team to contribute and race at a level they are capable. The first eight is the strongest boat in the program and is normally made up of the eight fastest and most experienced rowers. The second eight is normally formed by the next eight fastest and they compete against other second eights as to foster healthy competition and allow an arena for improvement so that they might eventually gain enough experience to move into the first eight. Novice events are made for inexperienced freshmen rowers. Novice boats are formed by the rowers with the least experience in the program. Generally the divisions allow for a place for everyone in the program to contribute at a level which they are best suited for.
Explain the difference in heavyweight and lightweight.
SK: The distinction between heavyweight and lightweight lies in the obvious: the weight of the crew competing. In women's rowing all rowers in a lightweight boat must weigh less than 135 pounds. Generally, heavier crews are faster because they are able to apply more force to each stroke.
Explain the differences between Head races and Regattas.
SK: Head races are long races (normally around 5000 meters). Because they are so long it is impossible to find a body of water that is long enough and wide enough for a series of boats to be lined up across. This means that head races are races against the clock. Boats are stagger started and each boat is timed separately. At the end of the race the times are compared to determine the winner. Regattas are what are typically thought of when one thinks of rowing. Most Regattas are races of 2000 meters with about six lanes across where all the boats start at the same time and are actually racing each other.
Explain the seating and the boat and who gets placed where and why.
SK: The seats in a boat are number 1 through 8. Seat 1 is the first to cross the finish line while 8 is the last. Generally lighter technically sound rowers are placed in seats 1 and 2 as they have a lot of control over the balance of the boat. It is important that these two rowers be light as to not weigh down the bow of the boat as well as technically sound to maintain balance. Seats 3 through 6 are known as the engine room. These rowers tend to be the bigger rowers in the boat and there job is to take very long and strong strokes. Most of the power comes from these four rowers. Seats 7 and 8 are responsible for setting the pace for the rest of the boat. All of the other rowers follow them so they must be extremely technically sound as well as very steady. If they do not keep a steady stroke rating it is very difficult for the rest of the boat to follow in unison.

What are the ways for younger people to get involved in rowing before college? Are there high schools that sponsor rowing or is it more of a club sport?
KS: Rowing is not something many people do before high school. It is also one of the few sports that one can join in college having zero experience. I decided to start rowing my freshman year in high school because it was a completely new challenge. The field sports of the spring and fall seasons did not really appeal to me, so rowing seemed a nice change. Luckily, my high school had a fairly well established program for both girls and boys. Many high schools--both public and private--in Massachusetts and other areas sponsor rowing programs. There are also rowing clubs that sponsor youth and high school programs in areas where the schools do not have their own teams. All programs vary in competitiveness and intensity, but every one serves to teach the basic fundamentals of rowing, as well as helping to foster the competitive spirit and team-oriented mindset of each of its participants.
Define the key terms a person would need to know to understand the sport of rowing.
JC: There are many terms in rowing that are unique to the sport; the several terms below are important for a spectator to understand.
Bow: The front of the boat. This is the part of the boat that crosses the finish line first. The person rowing in seat number 1 is called the bow person.
Bow ball: A rubber ball located on the bow of the boat to protect people's organs from being impaled if a crash occurs.
Catch: The part of the rowing stroke when the oar enters the water. The blade should drop quickly into the water, so that the rower's stroke is as long as possible.
Coxswain: The ninth member of the boat who does not row, but is the on-the-water coach for the rowers. The coxswain also steers the boat and informs the rowers of their position in the race.
Coxbox: A portable microphone that connects to the boat's speakers so that the all of the rowers can hear the coxswain's commands. Without a Coxbox, the rowers in the bow of the boat would not be able to hear the coxswain.
Crab: A mistake when a rower's oar is pulled under water. This slows the boat down since the rower's oar becomes stuck in the water, until the rower regains control of his or her oar. With more rowing experience crabs become less frequent, since rowers understand the importance of releasing their blade quickly at the finish of the stroke. An especially bad crab can cause the rower to be ejected from the boat.
Engine room: The nickname for the rowers in the middle of the boat since they are typically the biggest and strongest rowers.
Ergometer: An indoor rowing machine. "Erg" is Greek for work, and "-meter" means measure, so these machines essentially measure the amount of work or power each rower can produce. Coaches often use "erg tests" to evaluate the rowing strength of each rower, meaning the rowers each row a specific distance on the ergometer. The strongest rowers will finish the distance in the shortest amount of time.
Finish: The part of the rowing stroke when the oar comes out of the water. The finish is the end of the stroke.
Lightweight: Lightweight and openweight are the two weight categories that are used during rowing competitions. A woman rower weighing less than 130 lbs is a lightweight rower. A male rower weighing less than 160 lbs is a lightweight rower. These rowers are eligible to compete in a different category of competition than the openweight rowers, who are any rowers weighing more than the maximum for lightweights.
Power 10: A command from the coxswain for the rowers to be especially powerful for the next ten strokes. These moves are often made when a crew is attempting to pass another boat, and during the 500 meter marks of a race.
Seat number: The seats in an eight-person boat are labeled 1 though 8, starting in the bow of the boat. Therefore, the bow seat is seat 1 and the stroke seat is seat 8.
Stern: The rear of the boat. This is the last part of the boat to cross the finish line. The rowers face the stern of the boat.
Stroke: A stroke is one full rowing motion. "Stroke" is also the name of the rower who is the furthest to the stern. They set the rhythm that the other rowers follow.
Weigh enough: A coxswain's command to stop. Rowers know to respond quickly to this command.
What skills are necessary to be successful at rowing? What are the ways Navy prepares to be successful on the water?
FM: Rowing is a sport of hard work, patience, and teamwork. While the physical aspect of the sport is very individual (we're not passing a ball to one another or playing goalie), it is impossible to row in an eight man boat and not have complete and utter synchronicity in your every motion.
During the fall season, we compete in "head races," which are about 4,000-6,000meters. These are longer races that focus on endurance over a long period of time. Boats are started in 10-15 second intervals, and as you race down the course trying to cross the finish line with the fastest overall time, you occasionally pass slower boats ahead of you, which requires a good deal of foresight, competitiveness, and skill from the coxswain steering the boat (Imagine steering a truck around a ninety degree turn at full speed while overtaking another truck).
For the fall season, what we focus on is endurance and overall fitness. Practices involve long, slower-paced workouts with some running or stair workouts for cross training. Stroke rate (how many strokes per minute the boat takes) is important here because you have to find a high enough rate to propel you through the water at a competitive speed, but not so high that your crew runs out of energy before the finish line.
Speaking from Navy's perspective, there are certain things we focus on in the fall. First of all, our program doesn't have too many recruits because the decision to come to the Academy is based on so much more than just rowing. Our assistance coach, Nicole Stimpson, does a great job of bringing in a few top athletes each year, but many girls being recruited to row in college are not necessarily looking for the military aspect and the commitment to service after graduation. This ends up meaning that physically we are smaller as a team than other schools. I stand 5'4'', which is about the size of most coxswains. Many colleges wouldn't look to recruit me out of high school, but at Navy I fit right in. The average height in our boat when we placed 11th at Head of the Charles in fall 2006 was 5'7'', 150lbs. At most Division I schools, rowers tend to be much bigger and taller with the idea that the longer you are, the more time your blade spends in the water, and the heavier you are the more force you'll apply, all equaling faster boat speed. So, for us at Navy we focus on being fitter and more competitive than the other girls out there and making up for what we lack in size with toughness.
The Academy also limits how much time we can spend practicing. According to my coach's calculations, we miss out on six allowable hours a week that NCAA rules entitle us to simply because of our daily schedule. Even when we put in extra workouts or captain's practices, we still don't reach the allowable allotment of 20 hours a week. But these things that may seem like setbacks are really what we thrive off of. We are midshipmen first and rowers second, but a midshipman strives for excellence in everything he or she does, and crew is no exception.
In the winter season, we come inside off the water to the erg machines. This part of our season takes a level of dedication and sacrifice slightly different than the fall or spring seasons. At the Academy, we have very little time to ourselves. The average student takes 18-22 credit hours a semester, as well as having military duties on the side. Add a two to three hour practice a day, and you're a busy person. When we're rowing out on the water and the weather's nice, it's a nice mental break from the daily grind, but in the winter trekking out to the boathouse to sit on a machine and push yourself past previously established physical limits on a daily basis takes a level of devotion that I like to think is unique to our sport. Our team becomes incredibly close over the winter season, and that's what really keeps us going. When you're erging you don't have the same motivation as when you know the person in front and in back of you is working just as hard as you are. Erging is all about the numbers on the screen in front of you, and it requires much more internal motivation. Girls on our team develop strong bonds here as we encourage one another to keep pushing ourselves to the limit to get the best times possible. This may be unique to our team of people indoctrinated with the Navy's ideals of duty, honor and loyalty, but one thing our parents and fans have noticed is that on our team we strive for overall unit success in all endeavors, rather than knocking someone out of the running for a top boat. Sure, people will always want to succeed personally, but on the most basic level we all push one another forward to the best boat possible.
Then spring comes and we're back out on the water for sprint races, which are shorter than head races at 2,000m, and are raced with boats right next to one another at a higher stroke rate than the fall head races. Again, knowing our weakness is our size and allowable practice hours compared to other crews, we focus on what we're good at--rowing tough and having better endurance than other crews.
So this is a long winded way of saying that natural skills you'd expect from a rower--size, strength, and coordination--are really only a starting point. For our program, we focus more on the skills that a rower can develop, namely mental toughness, sacrifice and a dedication to physical excellence. We don't make cuts on our program for that very reason, because as long as someone has a basic level of athleticism (which is a requirement at the Academy in general), any girl who walks onto our team freshman year has the potential to develop into a varsity rower as long as they commit to put in the work.

If the Oklahoma City Thunder had lost their game tonight, they would have lost three in a row for the first time since 2011. The fact that they were playing the team with the worst record in the NBA was no consolation, because they lost to the worst team in the Western Conference two games ago. However, the Thunder prevailed and knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 11, 101-85.
Kevin Durant continued to play well, scoring 33 points with 10 rebounds, and Serge Ibaka seems to be finally over his flu like symptoms and is playing like he has most of the season with a fantastic double-double. Ibaka scored 17 points and added 17 rebounds in the game, while adding three blocked shots in the game.
Reggie Jackson, who has been solid most of the season, has struggled over the past week and only scored 14 points in the game with four assists. Luckily, Jeremy Lamb was impressive off the bench, scoring 17 points, and shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha added 14 of his own with six rebounds.
The turning point came in the third quarter. The Thunder only led 38-35 at the half, but Oklahoma City exploded in the third quarter, scoring 39 points and taking a 15 point lead into the final period. Kevin Durant missed his first eight shots but calmed down and finished the game hitting eight of his final 10 attempts.
"Yeah it got away in the third quarter," said Bucks coach Larry Drew. "I thought defensively we had some breakdowns and against a good team you just can't do that. Offensively our shot selection wasn't very good and we didn't move the ball very well."
The Oklahoma City Thunder next hit the road on Tuesday, Jan. 14, for a game with the Memphis Grizzlies.

RGEOS Polygon Hole Comment Functions {rgeos}
Utility functions for assigning ownership of holes to parent polygons
createSPComment(sppoly,which=NULL,overwrite=TRUE) createPolygonsComment(poly) set_do_poly_check(value) get_do_poly_check()
- sppoly
- Object that inherits from the
- which
- Vector, which subset of geometries in sppoly should comment attributes be generated
- overwrite
- Logical, if a comment attribute already exists should it be overwritten
- poly
- Object of class
- value
- logical value to set "do_poly_check" option, default TRUE
In order for rgeos to function properly it is necessary that all holes within a given POLYGON or MULTIPOLYGON geometry must belong to a specific polygon. The
SpatialPolygons class implementation does not currently include this information. To work around this limitation rgeos uses an additional comment attribute on the
Polygons class that indicates which hole belongs to which polygon.
Under the current implementation this comment is a text string of numbers separated by spaces where the order of the numbers corresponds to the order of the
Polygon objects in the
Polygons slot of the
Polygons object. A
Polygon object is a polygon, a non-zero number implies that the
Polygon object is a hole with the value indicating the index of the
Polygon that "owns" the hole.
createPolygonsComment attempts to create a valid comment for a
Polygons object by assessing which polygons contain a given hole (using
gContains). Ownership is assigned to the smallest polygon (by area) that contains the given hole. This is not guaranteed to generate valid polygons, always check the resulting objects for validity.
createSPComment attempts to create valid comments for all or a subset of polygons within a
SpatialPolygons object.
Warning: check polygons
The helper functions get and set the imposition of checking of objects inheriting from
SpatialPolygons for proper assignment of hole interior rings to exterior rings in
Polygons objects. The internal GEOS representation defines a POLYGON object as a collection of only one exterior ring and from zero to many interior rings, so an sp
Polygons object corresponds to a GEOS MULTIPOLYGON object, but without proper hole assignment. By default
do_poly_check is TRUE; if it is set to FALSE using
set_do_poly_check(FALSE), and the
Polygons object is not valid in GEOS terms, GEOS may crash R, which is why checks are imposed by default.
The details below show how hole assignment is handled in the package; here we assume that the hole status slots of all Polygon objects in a given Polygons object are set correctly. In the examples below, we use a data set from maptools which has the holes correctly assigned, and we see that the SpatialPolygons object is geometrically valid both initially and after removing the comment attribute on the only Polygons object in
usa - regenerating internally within rgeos from the hole status slots since
do_poly_check is TRUE.
If we modify
usa by setting all hole status slots to FALSE, the SpatialPolygons object is geometrically invalid even though a comment attribute can be created - the function
createSPComment is deceived by the incorrect hole status slots. To rectify this, we use
checkPolygonsHoles from maptools on each
Polygons object. This function calls
gEquals and
createPolygonsComment from rgeos to check whether the hole status slots are set correctly. Experience shows that many imported datasets from for example publically provided shapefiles have incorrect hole status values. Running
checkPolygonsHoles is time-consuming when the number of member
Polygon objects is large - attempts will be made to make this more efficient.
Warning: planar geometries
The geometries handled by GEOS are assumed to be planar, so that any rgeos functions making measurements will give incorrect results when used on geographical coordinates measured in decimal degrees. Topological functions may work satisfactorily, but will not understand spherical wrap-around.

text: My favorite research items on older homes are to consult the City Directory (usually published by a title company for business reference) at the public library. Just start with the year the house was built to find out who lived there, their profession, etc. and work your way forward. You can usually put together a pretty interesting story of what happened with the house and maybe contact some of the families if they are still in the area. My public library keeps a vast photo library which contains a lot of neighborhood and individual house photos, and you can also go through old newspaper ads.

The minimum wage in the Isle of Man is set to rise.
Tynwald will be asked to increase it in the July sitting.
The full rates would be:
Aged 21 and over (except certain trainees): from £6.40 an hour to £6.65.
Eighteen to 20 (except certain trainees): unchanged from £6.40
Trainees 18 and over: unchanged at £5.24
Seventeen: unchanged at £5.24
The changes have been recommended by the Minimum Wage Committee to introduce a new age bracket applicable to 18- to 20-year-olds and to increase the Isle of Man's minimum wage by 25p per hour, an increase of 3.9 per cent, for those aged 21 and over. Subject to Tynwald approval, the new rates will come in to effect from October 1.
Minister for Economic Development Laurence Skelly MHK said: 'The minimum wage is an important incentive to encourage people into work as well as representing an important part of government's aim to protect the vulnerable and make work pay.
'There is always a fine balance between meeting the demands of employers and employees but I believe the committee's recommendation has achieved this, so I am bringing forward regulations to give effect to the committee's recommendation to Tynwald.
'The introduction of the new age bracket for 18- to 20-year-olds will reduce the risk of young workers being priced out of the labour market and better recognises the greater experience and skills that those aged 21 and over tend to have over their younger counterparts.'
The UK's minimum wage for people over 21 is £6.31 an hour.

Cody Simpson fans got a double dose of delight on Monday night as the star took the dance floor to perform his Jazz routine on "Dancing With the Stars", plus people heard his new single too. The energy in the building was definitely felt as the star rocked the ballroom and seemed to be at ease with the performance. According to "Hollywood Life" on Monday, Cody Simpson won't be taking off his shirt any time soon, but that doesn't matter as he had great scores.
Cody Simpson had a corner of the ballroom set aside for his fans. Youngsters brought signs and screamed every time he stepped on stage (or his name was mentioned.) Looking to really offer up a hype for the artist, these kids made it known that Cody Simpson was in it to win it.
The Jazz dance performance definitely did well too. The judges offered a score of 35 out of 40 for the artist. With good scores given in Hollywood, the only thing left was for the fans to weigh in and share their approval. As the total score is a compilation of judge's scores and America's voting, it takes strong numbers on both points to keep Cody Simpson in the competition

It's not the first time Coldplay have covered "Fight For Your Right," or even the first time they did so in tribute to Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys. They did so at the All Points West festival in 2009, when Yauch was first diagnosed with cancer and had to pull out of their headlining gig at the festival. But of course, now the cover takes on even more weight—odd to say about a rendition of one of the most purposefully stoopid songs ever written—with Yauch's tragic passing, and it was an emotional performance for Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl in California, during which singer Chris Martin shouted out "ADAM YAUCH!!" and ended the third verse with "So we're sending all our love to the Beastie Boys!"
If you missed it the first time around at APW—or if you just love Coldplay and the Beastie Boys enough to experience it a second time—you gotta give it a watch. It's a full-band performance this time, rather than just the Martin solo, and it's really a surprisingly moving cover.

Lily has since been featured in countless editorials, advertising campaigns, and numerous covers working with some of the most reputed photographers and designers in the industry. And landed her first British Vogue cover when she was 16 years old! Lily has also appeared on the cover of fashion titles including American and Japanese Vogue -- as well as having walked the catwalk for Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Hermes, Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs.
While 2012, brought supermodel status as Lily joined the supers; Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Karen Elson, Jourdan Dunn, Stella Tennant and good pal Georgia May Jagger on stage for the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony -- dressed to impress in an Erdem gold embroidered and lace cocktail dress. It was stunning!
But Lily is much more than just a model. Born to an artist and jewelry designer mother, art has always featured heavily in Lily's life. She studied history of art at England's prestigious Cambridge university and admits that working as a model perpetually transports her into new environments which broaden her perceptions daily.
"One day I might be in Dior couture watching paper butterflies fall in a room, or faking death in a crystal McQueen jumpsuit in a ballroom in Paris, or hanging off the side of a palace in India for a Tim Walker photoshoot." Lily describes in British Vogue.
She has also woken her imagination by starring in a string of movies, including her first role at the age of seven for a friend's short, Attitude Adjuster, St Trinian's (2007), and Terry Gilliam's film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus (2009), in which she starred alongside the late Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law.
