Product Description
The publication of Bruce Serafins Colins Big Thing is a major intellectual and literary event for the West Coast. Or rather, it ought to be, but the book likely wont get the A-list play it deserves. As a reader, Ive known about Serafin for almost a quarter century now. Nearly everything hes written has been worth reading, and I and lot of others have regretted his reluctance to write and publish more.
A first book by Serafin was rumoured to be in the works 15 years ago, and even then, people were saying Its about time, and so the publication of Colins Big Thing is cause for an overdue celebration. That the book has been released as a weakly-edited paperback from a small publisher is a shame, but it isnt an accident. Serafin, who put together, all too briefly during the early 1990s, the remarkable Vancouver Review and then helped bring it back to life again this year before retreating once more, has difficulty standing up for his own abilities and skills and he hasnt measured them accurately against those of his contemporaries. While the rest of us have babbled and published, Serafin imposed on himself long periods of resentful silence. Hes one of those solitary human beings who insist that everything be done on his extremely exacting terms. Those terms strain the patience of publishers and other would-be collaborators.
Colins Big Thing is not so much a personal memoir as history of the unique netherworld British Columbia does its best to hide from the outside world. Serafin has created an unyielding record of its end-of-the-land brutality, and of the human and intellectual toll it takes on anyone who lives outside the narrow strip of New Age chrome and brass that rings the outer shores of Burrard Inlet. The tourism industry calls this strip Vancouver, and it has a population of about 200,000 souls too well-heeled for their own good, frantically in search of today, tomorrow, the day after-and its shiniest commodities. Most British Columbians never get to live in this Vancouver, but a larger population lives within the physical and psychic wreckage of its frontier, trapped in a netherworld of their own-and late capitalisms Darwinist-expectations.
Serafin has spent his adult life observing the B.C. netherworld at close quarters, refusing to accept the comforts of that glitzy Vancouver, which he loathes with a passion that is both instinctive and perverse. The result is Colins Big Thing, which contains the most elegant and accurate-and depressing-depictions of the netherworld that have ever been put to paper.
The house is down by the docks, on Odlum Drive. Its old, stuccoed, but with a noticeable touch: next to it, separated from it by a tangle of blackberry bushes, stands a wooden building whose apartments seem to have rented out to whores: dozens of white condoms, obviously thrown from the apartment buildings windows, hang from the brambles in the sun. The picket fence sags. The old concrete walkway is almost lost in the kneehigh grass. The stink from a chicken processing plant a few blocks away makes me lift my arm to my nose as I walk up the steps to the porch.
This passage, which I picked by opening the book and reading a page at random, is typical but hardly exemplary of how good his eye is. There are literally hundreds of passages as well drawn. The book is an unblinking articulation of something everyone on the West Coast knows is there and which nearly everyone-writers included-with sufficient physical and emotional resources studiously avoids.
Is extracting the netherworld from Vancouvers upscale facades a worthwhile project? Yes, certainly, if you compare Serafins Colins Big Thing to, say, the superficial account of Vancouver in Doug Couplands City of Glass. And for Serafin himself, the answer is clearly yes. It is also, I suspect, the precondition for everything he may subsequently publish, of which I hope there will now be more.
Serafins netherworld history isnt divisible from Serafins private history-how else to get at it, or, for that matter, to survive it, which many dont. Among the things Serafin has survived is nearly two decades of working in the postal system, most of them spent on the night shift inside the bowels of the citys Main Post Office, which he describes with a specificity that captures both the excruciating boredom of routinized labour and its effect on himself and his fellow-workers. Few have written from inside any work environment this accurately before, and Serafins unsentimental but often generous treatment of it puts a lot of dull work-writing-a West Coast specialty-to shame:
Its very quiet. I hear no laughter, none of the vivacity youd find in the daytime. People are too tired for that. Their murmuring voices, the way they half-turn their heads to each other, their pauses and occasional sighs, and along with that, the rumbling sound of the big belts going overhead that you can only hear late at night when the machines are off-all this contributes to the sense I have of being in a spaceship far away from the rest of society.
But Serafins private history is occasionally more problematic-as literature-than his record of the netherworld. Throughout the book, he operates, and writes, by an elevated emotional vocabulary, one that describes emotional conditions I understand abstractly but have rarely experienced: Serafin yearns for people, places and times; his heart pounds with desire and fear; he is overwhelmed with anguish, and frequently exalted by events or ideas, or is shattered by them. I happen to believe that this extreme emotional vocabulary is accurate to the way he experiences the world. But I also believe that it engenders-and renders-both intensities and volumes of emotional experience that are extremely uncommon.
One of the apparent difficulties in the book is that Serafin seems unaware of how extreme and uncommon his responses are. For me, one of the interests of his perceptual system is that it is oblivious and hypersensitive at the same time. . .Given the above, it is a miracle that Colins Big Thing is as successful as it is. Yet on virtually any literary and sociological terms I can name, this is an interesting and important document, from the terrifying laconic adolescent fratricide Serafin witnessed as a child to his heartbreakingly futile attempts to make contact with his French-Canadian mother as an adult by sending her copies of Michel Tremblays plays; and through the countless fine details he offers of Vancouvers netherworld to his chilling account of what its like to work inside Vancouvers postal system. Again and again, Serafin shows a willingness to gaze directly into whatever is in front of him. . .
To be aware of his surroundings the way he is involves a strain of cognitive courage few writers are capable of mustering. It is kept from sentimentality by the virtuosity of his writing, and by the relentless will with which he pursues his goal of describing the realities of the West Coast netherworld and the precise nature of the anxiety it invokes in him and those he cares about.
Yet for all Serafins virtuosity, there are also passages of careless and occasionally overblown writing in the book. There are also passages in the book that are hermetic, and will be inscrutable to anyone unfamiliar with the citys east-of-the-beaches landscapes. He employs a curiously inconsistent naming code throughout the book, providing the real names of some people, and using pseudonyms for others. Certainly the last two of these weaken the book as a historical document, although not enough to make it dismissible. A competent editor would have talked him out of the name codes and would have cleared out the local shorthand, but Im pretty sure Serafin refused to allow that kind of editing. Its part and parcel of his distrust of the instruments-formal literature and the larger community of writers-whose acceptance hes just as clearly after.
The books title is taken from a chapter, late in the book, about the cartoon artist Colin Upton, who displays nearly all of the character traits and fidelities Serafin is too shy to claim for himself. The title is therefore revealing and not inaccurate, unless it makes readers miss the fact that Bruce Serafins Big Thing is much, much bigger than it appears. Despite its flaws, Colins Big Thing is a major West Coast cultural event, and hopefully, the precursor to even bigger ones.

There are instances, when a wrinkle reduction cream is purchased by you, also it does not give the consequences that are required. Of course, you think that it's wastage of your your hard earned dollars, which is a genuine fact. Nowadays, it truly is a human tendency, when anyone of us buys acquire any service or any merchandise, she or he wants to get profited from it. It is also accurate for skincare products made to combat the consequences of aging. Like me, I used to be also afflicted by precisely the same situations. Additionally, I bought a skin care lotion, but it didn't give me what I wished to have.
Subsequently, I talked to my skincare expert. She gave me a sense about Encante Serum, which convinced me to hunt about this product online. I genuinely happy to see its results to users. Subsequently, I chosen for this particular merchandise, and today, you are able to view my skin looking normal and radiant. The wonder has happened because of this skin treatment cream. After getting a complete idea of what it comprises, how it functions and significantly more today, it is possible to use this lotion.
Serum functions
as a protective barrier between the damage to the skin from internal and external factors, such as free radicals, poor nutrition, dirt, pollution and and much more. These things aren't any more heading to change the texture and tone of the skin, with its application that is regular. But it really has to be used consistently so that it might function accordingly.
It works step-by step. The first step it takes to boost the elastin and collagen formation in the skin. Subsequently, towards increasing the versatility of skin by by eliminating different aging signs, such as wrinkles, it goes, fold giggling lines, lines, forehead lines surrounding your eyes. Last but perhaps not raises firmness and the softness in the epidermis that is cosmetic so your skin feel amazing and may look.
The serum is a mixture of some natural and strong substances, which really work to boost the texture of the facial skin, whether it is normal, oily or dry. Obviously, it can also perform to the delicate skin due to its fixings that are gentle and simple to consume. Some fixings are Hyaluronic acid, Collagen, vital minerals and vitamins, proteins and antioxidants.
So far as my investigation is related to this discussion, I have not revealed any solitary evidence that claims, some effects that are ill might be produced by it to the skin. It is maintained the goods will not have the well-being, in addition to unwanted effects to skin along with the life-line of a consumer. S O, anyone after 30s can start applying it without the prescription of a physician. Have you been interested to use an antiaging serum? Encante Serum is the top strategy to begin with now! To get a pack of
Encante Serum
, it is important to go to see its official web site.

text: I did think about providing access to the XPathFunctionResolver mechanism directly from the TransformerFactory, as Pier has done, but decided it was one more thing to test and maintain and the world could live without it. In many ways it's not a very satisfactory mechanism, in particular it doesn't solve the problem of mapping XPath types to Java classes so it doesn't really solve the interoperability issues. Let's hope a future JAXP can come up with something better. As you may know, XSLT 1.1 tried to solve this problem and the WG got its fingers badly burnt as a result, which is probably why everyone has been steering well clear of it since.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- With tight end Aaron Hernandez nursing a right ankle injury that is likely to keep him out for an extended period of time, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker could be in line to see expanded offensive duties. That's an opportunity the franchise's career leader in receptions would welcome.
"Obviously I want to be out there as much as possible," he told reporters on Friday at Gillette Stadium. "However I can contribute to help us win, that's my job."
As far as how Hernandez's absence has effected his reps in practice, Welker said he is focused on simply doing his job when called upon.
"I think we all just go out there and do our job to the best of our ability, and whenever you're called upon, you go out there and do that," he said. "And our job is to pick up the slack with Aaron being out."
Beyond Welker, the Patriots may look to recently re-acquired receiver Deion Branch and new tight end Kellen Winslow to help boost the offense.
Welker says having Branch back in the offense is a benefit to the entire unit.
"I think it helps everyone," Welker said of Branch. "Anytime you have a player that can contribute like he can, I think that helps everybody out a lot."
Winslow, who head coach Bill Belichick indicated could contribute on Sunday night, has been on the field for each of the team's three days of practice this week, and has already impressed his new teammates.
"He's a talented player, he gets in and out of breaks really well, runs well, and catches the ball really well," said Welker of the veteran tight end. "We'll look for him to help us out as well."

Oh god the parrot already making jokes on the forums~
50 pages.. no way I can read every one of these posts. To sum up though, despite what you may think, I am not the single point of failure in a scenario where a busty lady makes it through our pipeline. I'm here to be one of many voices that chimes in when appropriate. Can I flip a table or two? Absolutely, if I deem it unnecessary. I really wasn't too terribly concerned about Nami because, well, I think she's a cool design.
Did I notice the ruffles revealing some fish flesh? Yeah, I saw it months ago. Did I think it was particularly a good idea to poo-poo the design when it was on its way, when it was gathering momentum, and when it was being passionately worked on by the artist? Hell no. This will be this particular artist's first champion ever in the game. It's her show in that regard. I didn't find the cleavage to be a monumental red flag.
When I saw the concept I was like.. look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think this concept's complete? Wouldn't you think she's the girl, the girl that has, everything? Look at those frills, how they unfold. How many wonders can one mermaid hold? Looking around here you think, sure, she's got everything. She's got flippers and scepters a plenty. She's got dashes and splashes galore. You want complementary curves? She's got twenty. But who cares, no big deal, she wants more.
She wants to be where the players are, she wants to see, wants to see them fighting, thinking inside of those, what do you call them? Oh, brains! Flipping to mid you don't get to far. Supports are required for healing, casting, strolling along on that.. what's that word again? Lane! Up where they toss, up where they stun, up where they lane all day in the sun, wandering free, wished she could be, part of that role.
What would she pay, if she could play, out of those waters? What sort of gift, would let her lift, up to the game? Betcha in the rift, they get the drift, that they appreciate their healers. Crowd controllers, supporting rollers, ready to sustain, and ready to help with Carry's job. Lock up the gankers and get some assists. What's a Baron, and how does it, what's the word? Buff! When's it enough? Wouldn't they love, love to play some support up above?
Out of the sea.
Wished she could be.
Part of that roll.
..tune in next time when I explain our champion creation process akin to how the mice put together Cinderella's dress.
@IronStylus: I am very disappointed in you and the art team. - Page 50 - League of Legends Community

Very good
"One of the most gorgeous places I have stayed!"
Casa Gardenia was one of the most beautiful intimate places I have ever stayed!!! I was fortunate to have stayed here in February/12 and Maria and Tito the owners made sure my stay was a wonderful one. I spent most of my days enjoying my book and napping at the pool. I stayed in a Suite on the 3rd floor which had the most gorgeous view of the Bay. The balcony provided the most wonderful quiet time and the suite was exceptionally clean and comfortable. I loved the location because everything was within walking distance... the bus to Mega, the shops, the beach and the restaurants. Casa Gardenia will and does provide everything you need to feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous property. If you are considering staying here you better book now for next year because they have many repeat guests which should tell you something!
"Home away from home !"
Home away from home is the best way we can describe Villas Gardenia. From the time you arrive at the gate , ring the bell you are greeted with such a warm and inviting feeling, Maria and Tito and all their staff go out of their way to make your stay whether it be for one night or months so very enjoyable. Always there to help you or get anything you may need or just have a friendly chat. The grounds , gardens and pool are all kept so lovely , it's a tropical paradise. Rooms are very spaceous , clean and private, Kitchen well stocked with all your cooking utensils, oven ,large fridge and BBQ out in the common area where many Happy Hours have taken place along with the beautiful sunsets. Bed is very comfortable, lots of closet , drawer space. Washroom nice and large with a big shower,good water pressure. Great location for quick walk to the beach , close to shopping or heading into the quaint town of Bucerias to do a little shopping or have a meal at one of the many fine restaurants. We stayed for one month the first time at Villas Gardenia , enjoyed ourshelves so much decided to stay for two months the next year . Going back again , can't wait to see everyone.
"Villas Gardenia - A true oasis!"
My husband and I stayed at Villas Gardenia in January for four weeks. It was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had. The suite is spacious, with a window in the front facing the garden and small french doors in the back facing onto the private patio and the ocean, also gardens of bougainvillea. The whole outside area is beautifully finished in tile so it is immaculate and the stairs up from the road below are a work of art, designed by Maria. Such luxury! What we loved most was the private patio which we enjoyed every morning and evening and times in between when we were "home". We were told that an impromptu "happy hour" would happen by the pool occasionally where the guests in the neighbouring suites could gather if they wished. We very much enjoyed meeting others and it made for a very homey atmosphere. Most evenings the BBQ would be fired up as the sun went down. What an experience and what a view!! Sunset included every evening - free of charge! The location was perfect, right in the middle of town 2 blocks from the beach. Internet cafe - 1 block below. We enjoyed the stroll into the "old town" to pick up our fresh vegetables, fresh fish and seafood. There are wonderful restaurants nearby, all with a different atmosphere as well as lovely people. As mentioned by other guests, the bus will stop right outside the front gate of the villa heading to the Mega(the large supermarket)and onto Puerto Vallarta. Or if you wish, catch it across the street and head to Sayulita, San Francisco, La Penita and beyond. The bus ride itself is quite an experience! Who would guess a/c and movies! Shorter routes, different buses, different entertainment!! I visited a friend in Bucerias the previous year and took the opportunity to look at accommodations in town and viewed 12 to 15 - villas gardenia was by far the nicest and the best price. In 2012 we are returning for 6 weeks. Maria and Tito are the kindest of hosts and treat their guests like family.
"feels like coming home"
Donna and I have been staying at villas gardenia on and off (when vacationing in mexico) for the past ten years. We have always been treated like family.The accomodations are well cared for and staff are always friendly. It is very well secured and the grounds are beautiful. Villas Gardenia seems to attract only the best vacationers and as a result have had great visits with many of them and enjoyed reuniting with them over the years. As far as Bucerias is concerned, what a great little town with a wonderful variety of shops and restaurants. We can't say enough good things about our stays at villas gardenia.
"A Perfect Tropical Vacation Home"
We were very fortunate to find this vacation rental in 2000 and have enjoyed staying here since. Our hosts, Maria and Tito, provide the most excellent service in a relaxed and friendly way. I would say they go above and beyond expectations. They will pick you up at the airport, tell you where to shop, places to visit and even took me to the doctor one year! The villa we rent is on the main floor. It has a front and back terrace. Both terraces are accessed by 2 large patio doors, which provide excellent lighting inside. The front has a large garden with tropical plants and palm trees. The back terrace we use for lounging and dining and we love the panoramic view of Banderos Bay. Great for seeing the occasional whale and cruise ship passing by. The grounds and pool are picture perfect. Lots of patio furniture and outdoor bbqs. Inside the open plan villa is spacious and airy with high ceilings and modern fans. The kitchen has lots of cabinets and modern appliances. The dining, living and bedroom areas are tastefully decorated with Mexican furniture and art. The bedroom has a king size bed. The bathroom is tiled and accommodates a large shower. The best part for me is that there is maid service 3 times a week and they keep the villa immaculate. The villa is located on a hillside (great for a view) and is a couple of blocks from the beach. The beach is great for walking (for miles!) Boogey boarding, swimming and windsurfing are popular activities. Shopping is great in Bucerias and all within easy walking distance. There is a huge flea market, a variety of restaurants and many shops for trinkets, clothes and groceries. If you want a larger grocery store, Mega is about a mile away on the bus. There are lots of buses available to take to you on any adventure you wish, whether to Puerto Vallarta or Sayalita or in between. We love the villa and look forward to going each year to enjoy the tropical sunshine and renew past friendships.
"awesome vacation spot"
We have stayed at Villas Gardenia for several years and love it there. We always tell people it is a hidden treasure.From the main gate you see this beautiful big house and never realize what is all behind those gates.It is a surprise to see how the hillside has been incorporated into the design of the villas.The grounds and pool area are beautiful.The suites are decorated very nicely and are very clean. The owners,Maria and Tito,are wonderful,friendly people.They pick you up and drop you off at the airport and do their best to help out with any problems you run into while there. Cable t.v. and internet are supplied,which is kind of nice so we can keep in touch with what is happening back in our frozen Canada. The location of Villas Gardenia is great.The bus stops right outside the front gate to take you to P.V.,Sayulita or the Mega Superstore(which is only minutes away and has all the groceries you want) The beach is only 2 blocks away out the other gate.The beach in Bucerias is beautiful,you can walk for miles on the sand. Bucerias is a great little Mexican town with all the amenities:a flea market,vegetable markets,many great restaurants and lots of little shops for anything you might want. It is a perfect place to spend our winter vacation.We start counting the days until we can go back as soon as we get home(only 148 days to go) Herb and Carol,Saskatoon
"Tropical paradise!!"
Soon as you enter the front gates of Villas Gardenia you know that you are in a tropical paradise. The lush and pristine grounds with all the exotic flowers that are in full bloom and the gorgeous swimming pool soon make you forget the cold and snow you left behind in Winnipeg. We have been coming back to Villas Gardenia for a number of years, and upon arrival we still stop and just take it all in as if it was our first trip. The terraces with their breath taking view of Banderas Bay and surrounding area is a must in the evening, just sit, relax and enjoy the view! We also started our" Winter Getaways" in Puerto Vallarta, various places in Mexico and some all-inclusive hotels and then came across this gem in Bucerias through a friend. What a beautiful find! Villas Gardenia is located perfectly, just a block an ½ from the beach, and there is a bus stop practically just outside the front gates. You can either take the bus which is just minutes away from Super Mega supermarket or just a few extra more minutes to Super Wal-Mart in Mescales. Purchase your groceries and bus it back or treat yourself to a Taxi. If "cooking isn't your thing" there are plenty of restaurants in the area that will tease and please your palette. Bucerias and surrounding areas are rich in markets and local color. There is something to please everyone. The accommodations at Villas Gardenia are always clean and well decorated with a modern flare of Mexico (thanks to Maria Rodriguez's decorating skills) The Villas kitchen is fully equipped with whatever you need to cook meals if you so desire. The owners Maria and Tito, and their staff go out of their way to ensure that your stay is enjoyable and memorable. You will be "hooked" and will keep coming back just like us. See you in December!
"As always, a wonderful, very enjoyable experience."
We started our winter getaways in Mexico at all-inclusive hotels from acapulco to Cancun, and in 2000 decided to try a rental in Bucerias. We had visited the town while staying in Nuevo Vallarta near Paradise Village. We fell in love with Villas Gardenia, not only from the beauty of the place, but the owners treated you like family. We have returned year after year, watching it grow, and it has only become better, with all the new technology available, as well as the wonderful, relaxing atmosphere of the place. The town, with lots of restaurants, church, beach flea market, and festivals is only a short walk away. It is very visitor friendly, for all ages, with alot of English spoken. They have a great Mega Supermarket where you can buy groceries only a few minutes on the bus you catch right in front of Villas Gardenia. Of course, it is fun to stop at the Mini Markets scattered around town to pick up a few things while you are out getting your exercise. We have visited quite a few places over the years, but will keep coming back to Maria and Tito's. Not only is the weather so much better than Chicago, but we are very well taken care of at Villas Gardenia, as are all of their guests. This is very important being so far from home.
"A relaxing , feels like home, vacation"
Everything said in the previous review sums up our experience. These rental units are a real find ! The location - great ! The staff -wonderful ! The apartment itself- clean , comfortable , roomy and fairly well-equipped. Bucerias has much to offer for those who wish to do something more than just relax. It offers a variety of good restaurants and some very unique shopping. We have stayed at Villas Gardenia twice and are looking forward to our third stay this year. Maria and her staff do their best to ensure that thier guests have an enjoyable time . Can't wait !
"Charming destination in Bucerias"
Villa Gardenia was our first experience with Rental by Owner. We found this an exciting experience, corresponding with the owners and seeing pictures along with details was very satisfying. On arriving at the PV airport we were picked up by an employee, very pleasant, offered to stop for us to pick up groceries, a very warm welcome. The Villas Gardinias is located near the main road entering Bucerias, however, the minute you enter the gate and the private gardens, you feel like you have escaped into a very private and beautiful space. The property is terraced, and we found it very quiet and tranquil. Our stay was in November which is the off season for Mexico. There were ourselves and two other couples who were previous guests. We found our unit very cozy, with a strong Mexican flavor, which we loved. The accommodations were very clean and had everything we needed. We loved our terrace where we enjoyed the view and sunset on a daily basis. The location was perfect, we were in walking distance to everything, Art Walk, beautiful Mexican Boutiques, Market, Margarritas, Fine and Casual Dining. We were just on the edge of downtown Bucerias, therefore, it was very quiet. There were buses available on the main street if you felt the need for an advernture to P.V., Sayulita, Rincon, or maybe just to the nearby Mega store where you could find any of your needs. We were two blocks from the beach, if you wanted to walk without going on the beach, lots of options. An affordable laundry nearby, second hand book store that trades books and if you enjoy arts and crafts there are classes just minutes away. My husband and I have been to Mexico many times, staying at other rental units, also at three and five star resorts. There was something we found a little bit special about Villas Gardenias, we are going for three weeks on our next visit.

- Data is archived to an EMC Centera storage partition.
- Collections are enabled on the partition.
- The following Windows System Environment Variable is set to 0 (disabled):
What is Affected
This issue is known to exist only when the following conditions have been met:
- One of the following versions of Symantec Enterprise Vault is installed:
- Archiving to an EMC Centera partition that is configured to use Collections
- The Environment Variable FP_OPTION_STREAM_STRICT_MODE exists on the server that is running the Enterprise Vault Storage Service
How to Determine if affected
There is a potential for data loss to occur if all the following conditions are met:
- Archiving to an EMC Centera partition that is configured to use Collections. (See 'How to check if Collections is enabled')
- The Environment Variable FP_OPTION_STREAM_STRICT_MODE exists on the server that is running the Enterprise Vault Storage Service. (See 'How to check if FP_OPTION_STREAM_STRICT_MODE Environment Variable exists')
To Determine the Scope
Using EVSVR to scan a Vault Store Partition:
1. Install the Hotfix in the Formal Resolution section of this TechNote.
2. Open EVSVR.exe from the Enterprise Vault program directory (i.e C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault).
3. At the EVSVR prompt type "Edit" and hit Enter.
4. In the EVSVR Operations GUI, select the Centera Partition to scan.
5. Under Operations to Perform, choose Verify, ArchiveObjects, and SavesetValid.
6. Click "Save As" to save the settings as a .xml file.
7. At the EVSVR prompt type "Load".
8. Browse to the location of the xml file previously saved and click "Open".
9. At the EVSVR prompt type "Start".
Note: There is no progress indicator for EVSVR, when the scan is complete the EVSVR window will display the message "processing has stopped".
10. Once complete, view the EVSVR log file (located by default under \Enterprise Vault\Reports\EVSVR) and look for an entry like the following to determine the items that are affected:
Collection Identity: 2365, DVS RelativeFileName: PF0OAC1O7R5M5eE1D7CUSI78ESOG4320TEMSND0N487E285728R6A
Decompression failed [0xc0041aa7]
11. To verify if there is data loss, the BLOB data must be extracted from the Centera Clip using the instructions in this document:
12. Use EVSVR to extract the contents of the BLOB to a folder:
a. Open EVSVR.exe from the Enterprise Vault program directory (i.e C:\Program Files\Enterprise vault).
b. At the EVSVR prompt type "Interactive" and hit Enter.
c. At the prompt use the following syntax to specify the Vault Store or Archive ID and the Saveset or Transaction ID:
ExtractSaveset <path to blob file> [-o <OutputFolder>]
<OutputFolder> - The folder to put retrieved files into.
EVSVR Command> ExtractSaveset C:\folder\PF0OAC1O7R5M5eE1D7CUSI78ESOG4320TEMSND0N487E285728R6A.Blob45 -o C:\Test
The blob file name proceeds the Decompression failed [0xc0041aa7] error in the EVSVR log file and is given a file extension when extracting from JCAS.
After EVSVR completes, the extracted files will be found in the output folder specified.
13. Open the .CDF file that was generated when following the instructions in Step 11.
14. There should be a dvs in the output folder for every SavesetId listed in the CDF. If there is not a dvs file for each SavesetId then data loss has occurred.
If Device Level Sharing is not enabled then the single eclipblob size entry is greater than the last SavesetDataOffset.
<SymantecCollectionV1.5SavesetInformation VaultId="17BE0A710B6D1154E8762890BABC129251110000evsite.domain1.local" SavesetId="201006237310342~201006231624290000~Z~A15492BE4D0D3E1AE461D78C245EA6B1" ShareType="0" SavesetDataOffset="1496874" SavesetDataSize="12922" />
<SymantecCollectionV1.5SavesetInformation VaultId="17BE0A710B6D1154E8762890BABC129251110000evsite.domain1.local" SavesetId="201006237310361~201006231624300000~Z~A158347BD1431FAC577B07C782A98451" ShareType="0" SavesetDataOffset="1509796" SavesetDataSize="12764" />
<eclipblob md5="2S75BQ7IR52NIx2SM3MAN4F6VSFG5C78HI504D7O3HEDGOUOV6QFG" size="363733" offset="0" />
If the SavesetDataOffset size plus the SavesetDataSize size is greater than the eclipblob size data loss has occurred. From the example above,
SavesetDataOffset = 1509796
SavesetDataSize = 12764
eclipblob size should be = 1522560
The actual eclipblob size is 363733 which means data loss has occurred.

Asda Money Reveals Three new Cars for Summer
With new car sales in June increasing by more than 13%, Asda Money reveals that motorists are snapping up new cars in their droves, with just under 215,000 new car registrations in June alone1.
For drivers who are keen to purchase a new set of wheels in 2013, Asda Money looks at three new cars for the summer.
1. Skoda Octavia estate
Debuted in June the all-new ŠKODA Octavia Estate comes available in three trims, S, SE and Elegance, and has an on the road starting price of just £16,790. The model's flagship 2.0-litre TDI CR delivers 150PS. CO2 emissions for the 13 model range from 99g/km, making the car exempt from road tax and the London congestion charge, to 121g/km.
Standard features include 16" 'Minoris" alloy wheels, leather steering wheel (4 spoke) and electro-mechanical power steering.
2. Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion
The five-seat Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion offers a winning combination of 'comfort, safety and practicality'. Making its way to UK showrooms in August the model delivers fuel consumption of 88.3 mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 85 g/km, which means like the Octavia it is also exempt from road tax and the London congestion charge. The model's 1.6-litre engine delivers 110 PS, reaching a top speed of 124mph. Pricing for the model starts from £20,000 for the three-door version, £20,750 for the five-door.
3. Dacia Logan MCV
Described as the 'UK's most affordable estate' the Dacia Logan MCV will make its official debut in the summer, with first deliveries scheduled for July.
The 5-seater comes with a choice of two petrol engines the new 1.2 16v 75 brand new TCe 90, with its a three-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit.
The TCe 90 delivers a fuel economy of 56.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 116 g/km. The range of features include media nav (available on selected versions) is a fully-integrated multimedia system, cruise control with speed limiter (on some versions), and power steering on all versions.
Whichever model you plan to invest in, in 2013 getting the right car insurance quotes will help to ensure that you get the right car insurance policy for your needs.

New York
New York never disappoints but we felt especially lucky on our trip this autumn with the beautiful Fall weather lighting up the city.
From an afternoon stroll past the Guggenheim, and little Italy; lunch at the Spotted Pig in the Meat Packing District to stunning views from the top of the Rockafella Centre we left feeling truly inspired.Associated categories: Inspiration

Designer Pudsey 2012
We love the new Designer Pudsey Collection for BBC Children in need. Pudsey has ditched his spotted eye patch and iconic yellow in favour of Swarovski crystals and a variety of different fabrics.
The bears were designed by some of the biggest names in fashion, with branding and exhibition design from Fivefootsix. Each bear takes on the designer's trademark style, from Pucci prints to Burberry's gent.
We spotted the collection in Selfridges where the designs can be seen from the 23rd October until the 14th November 2012, before being auctioned to raise funds for the charity.Associated categories: Design : Special Events

I'd like to be...at the Olympics
On Saturday I was lucky enough to experience London 2012 first hand, watching Athletics at the Olympic Stadium. The atmosphere inside was electric as we cheered on Ennis and co, with other highlights including Usain Bolt in the 100m and 'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius in the 400m first heats. After an amazing morning, we headed out to Park Live to watch the evening session, where Jess Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah all won gold. Sitting on the hill watching the big screen with all the other team GB fans was very special. I'm sure there will never be anything quite like it. Truly inspiring stuff!Associated categories: Special Events
London Booster by David Cerny
Whilst out in Islington we stumbled upon David Cerny's installation 'London Booster'. Part of London's cultural Olympiad, the artist worked on the 'Routemaster' bus for 6 months, transforming it into an 'athlete'. The 1957 bus finishes push-ups in reps of ten, grunting and groaning with every lift. It's amazing.Associated categories: Art : Special Events
Ready, Steady Go!
After Friday's fantastic opening ceremony we went into town to soak up some of the citys atmosphere. We headed to the Mall to see the Men's Cycling Road Race, joining thousands of people cheering in anticipation for Britain's first Gold. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, but the buzz in London is amazing right now so looking forward to what more is to come. Good luck team GB!Associated categories: Special Events
Design: Paper
Prior to creating 'I'd like to be' we produced designs and illustrations for a variety of clients. We recently discovered our work for Lovely Honey had been included in the new book 'Design: Paper' from Rockport Publishers. The book explores the use of paper within design and is filled with inspiring work spanning the areas of identity, print, packaging and papercraft. Find it online from Amazon and Rockport Publishers. If you have a project in mind please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.Associated categories: Design : Inspiration
They're Grrreat!
We really love these retro style packs created by Kellogg's to mark the Jubilee. The limited edition designs are inspired by Kelloggs' drawings dating back to the 1950s, when the Queen ascended to the throne. They're available from Sainsbury's until the 25th of June.Associated categories: Design
I'd like to be an artist
We recently attended a talk by illustrator Marion Deuchars. Her naive and quirky style is instantly recognisable and she's created work for clients such as Jamie Oliver, Penguin Books and Cass Art.
The talk was focussed around her latest project, 'Let's Make Some Great Art', a lovely book, "packed with stimulating ideas to spark your creative imagination." It encourages us to break away from our computers and reengage with creative moments, as she does herself at her 'play desk'. She reminded us about lots of techniques we'd long forgotten from our childhoods, (remember making spiders by blowing paint with a straw?)
Her book and animations are well worth checking out.Associated categories: Design : Inspiration

A Bigger Picture
This weekend we were at the Royal Academy for David Hockney's A Bigger Picture. We'd been looking forward to this for months and the sell-out exhibition didn't disappoint. The focus is on Hockney's landscapes, this is not a new subject for him and we are reminded of this at the start of the exhibition with works dating from the '50s to '90s. The majority of pieces on display were created in the last decade, these include oil paintings, watercolours, charcoal drawings, photographic joiners, films and his recent iPad drawings. Hockney still divides opinion but I love the fact he constantly embraces technology to find new ways to express his art. Having grown up not far from where Hockney did I've always felt a strong connection and influence with his work, he captures the Yorkshire countryside perfectly and this show was a nice reminder of home.Associated categories: Art : Inspiration
Pick Me Up!
The weather was lovely today so we decided to put our pens and pencils down and take a walk along to river. We stopped off at Somerset House to see the annual illustration show, 'Pick Me Up'. It's well worth a visit - there's lots of prints to buy along with events and workshops to take part in. Our favourite piece was these beautiful wooden figures shown here. The show's open until 1 April so make sure you see it soon!Associated categories: Art : Inspiration
David Pearson
Last night we headed over to Not Inhouse for a talk by typographer and cover designer David Pearson. We've bought many a book purely for the cover alone and it was great to hear the inspiration and thinking behind his work. David previously worked in-house at Penguin Books before leaving to set up his own studio. At a time when the printed book is under increasing threat of digital technology it's a reminder of the simple pleasure of holding a beautifully designed, old-fashioned book. Who needs a kindle?! Not Inhouse regularly host talks by lots of interesting and talented creatives whilst helping to raise money for charity, check out their site to see who will be the next speaker.Associated categories: Design : Inspiration

25 Trees and other Pictures
Just back from a fantastic couple of days in Yorkshire. I'm always inspired by visiting Salts Mill in Saltaire. It's a beautiful space in an amazing setting, as well as home to a vast collection of works by Bradford born artist, David Hockney. I was lucky enough to catch his '25 Trees and other Pictures' exhibition, featuring the changing seasons of the Yorkshire landscape. It's on until the end of April so make sure you go and see it! As a long standing fan of David Hockney I can't wait to see his 'Bigger Picture' exhibition at the RCA next month in London.

9th ICP International Summer Academy and Forum, Caux (Montreux), Switzerland
12th to 16th of July 2016
The 9th International Summer Academy and Forum 2016 offers its participants an overview of the problems that arise due to the impact of companies setting up in complex environments and how to address them through mediation and dialogue. These businesses have a direct impact on communities and their habitat therefore sometimes causing complex conflictive situations locally without the political or social infrastructure to address them. Due to the absence of these structures, resulting conflicts can often not be prevented or properly addressed. The situations include complaints in property rights, employment opportunities, protests about water use or environmental degradation. Reactions by the concerned communities may escalate rapidly, affect the companies' reputation and lead to high costs due to loss of production and time invested to manage conflicts from the company's side. Furthermore local communities have expectations towards the industry regarding the distribution of wealth or the socioeconomic development of their region. Companies have the potential to play an important role for development and stabilization in these complex environments, win-win solutions are possible and ICP would like to explore this venue.

Recently sold before earnings just above 14 bucks. At 10.20 this thing is too cheap. Probably get a 5-8% bounce tomorrow.
Look for an upgrade because of valuation. Stock has been steady with low volume during the recent stock market upswing. Think we'll see 12 by year end.
I am not from the Delaware area, but I like this one from a valuation perspective at current sp. Are their other casinos coming on line in the immediate area that will adversly effect DDE? Trying to understand why stock is falling so much. Thanks!

Mogadishu - A US military drone crashed in a Somali coastal area south of Mogadishu on Friday, a local government official and witnesses said.
"It's a small unmanned American plane. It's small and can be carried by three people," said Mohamed Mohamoud Helmi, the government official in charge of security in the town of Merka.
"The object, a small plane, is now in the hands of the police forces. It fell near the coastal area of Agaren," said Osman Hassan Hussein, Merka's police chief.
The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.
Agaren is located around five kilometres south of Merka, a large town around 100 kilometres south of the capital Mogadishu.
"It was flying from the direction of the ocean and it crashed in an area where children were playing football," said Helmi.
"It doesn't appear to be damaged and we are ready to hand it back to anyone who claims ownership," he added.
Several witnesses said the drone was found early on Friday.
"I saw the small plane, it's about one metre and a half," local president Mohamed Saddam said.
"It has cameras on it and things like computer components." - Sapa-AFP

Introducing the PlaneWave Instruments CDK24, a 24 inch (0.61 m) f/6.8 Corrected Dall-Kirkham Astrograph telescope. The CDK24 has a dual truss design, with 3 cooling fans for the back of the primary mirror and 8 fans for the front surface of the primary mirror. The CDK24 covers a 70 mm field of view without any field curvature, off-axis coma, or astigmatism. The instrument weight is 240 lbs (109 kg) and comes standard with a back plate retaining ring ready to accept the focuser of your choice.
|Carbon Fiber Truss Design
|Minimizes thermal expansion which causes focus shift with changes in temperature
|Dovetail expansion joint
|Allows for the difference in thermal expansion between carbon fiber and aluminum. The expansion joint allows the aluminum dovetail expand and contract without stressing the carbon fiber lower truss
|Cooling Fans
|Three cooling fans ejecting air from the back of the telescope and four fans blowing across the boundary layer of the mirror surface. This helps the telescope to reach thermal equilibrium quickly. The fans are controlled by a computer if the optional Electronic Focus Accessory (EFA Kit) is purchased.
|24.5 inch (622 mm)
|24 inch (610 mm)
|Focal ratio
|Laser Collimated and Permanently Fixed
|Precision Annealed Borosilicate
|Prolate Ellipsoid
|Enhanced Aluminum - 96%
|9.45 inch (240 mm)
|Precision Annealed Borosilicate
|Enhanced Aluminum - 96%
|CDK24 Focus Spacer (240343)
|This 5.3" long spacer may be installed between the backplate and the focuser to take up some of the CDK24's extra backfocus and reduce the torque placed on the focuser mechanism. This spacer is sized such that the backfocus distance behind the focuser will match that of the CDK20.
|Ronchi Spacer (200354)

The CDK telescope is a brand new optical design invented by Dave Rowe. The goal of the design is to make an affordable astrographic telescope with a large enough imaging plane to take advantage of the large format CCD cameras of today. Most telescope images degrade as you move off-axis from either coma, off-axis astigmatism, or field curvature. The CDK design suffers from none of these problems. The CDK is coma free, has no off-axis astigmatism, and has a flat field. The design is a simple and elegant solution to the problems posed above. The CDK consists of three components: an ellipsoidal primary mirror, a spherical secondary mirror and a lens group. All these components are optimized to work in concert in order to create superb pinpoint stars across the entire 42mm image plane.

The numbers say the Volunteer unit is one of the tops in the nation. They rank 12th defensively and only allow 86 yards per game on the ground. The Tennessee front seven has already notched 19 sacks and 30 quarterback hurries. The two defensive ends, Parys Haralson and Jason Hall, have 20 TFL's and 10 ½ sacks between them alone. It's an imposing defense. The one concern could be the loss of All-American defensive back Jason Allen to a season-ending hip injury. Sophomore Inquoris Johnson has been adequate in his place but only stands 5-9. Johnson will have his work cut out for him covering Notre Dame's two 6-5 wide receivers, Maurice Stovall and Jeff Samardzija. Head coach Charlie Weis was not lying when he said the Tennessee defense would be the best the Irish will face all year long. But the best offense the Volunteers have seen is LSU's, which is ranked 39th. Notre Dame has a top-10 offense and the battle between the units is the key match up of the game.
With Vols head coach Phil Fulmer calling the offensive plays, what is to be expected?
Weis said not to expect any radical changes from the Tennessee offense. Fulmer will be different in the pattern which he calls plays. One has to expect that if Fulmer is going to call the same order of plays as Randy Sanders, who resigned this week from his offensive coordinator and play calling duties, a change would not have been made. There will be subtle differences but not to the effect some would think. Redshirt freshman Arian Foster ran for 148 yards and a touchdown last weekend against South Carolina and expect Fulmer to use him early and often to control the clock and keep the ball away from the Notre Dame offense. The Volunteer offense has been anemic at scoring, averaging 16 points per game. With Fulmer calling the plays, can Tennessee finally find the end zone on a consistent basis? If they do, this game will come down to the fourth quarter.
This is a good challenge for the Notre Dame offense. Tennessee has a top-flight defense and the Irish players have praised them all week. Everyone is looking at this match up but it could come down to how the Volunteer offense does against the Notre Dame defense. Tennessee will try to slow the game down. Foster has to have a big game for the upset to occur. The Volunteer quarterback situation is as unclear as it was heading into the season. It appears that Erik Ainge will get the start. Can one of these guys actually play an entire game? The two-player rotation has not paid off. Tennessee has a lot of talent and potential. But Notre Dame executes on the field and the Irish offense is the best Tennessee will see in 2005. Weis's contract extension also puts a lot of pressure on himself. The critics will be eyeing this game closely hoping Notre Dame stumbles. But Weis is at his best when the lights are shining the brightest (see three Super Bowl wins). This team, as it has been every single game, will be prepared and ready for the big test of a 3-4 team looking to salvage their season. The front seven of the Tennessee defense will force Notre Dame to pass the ball and Brady Quinn's assault on the Irish record book propels his team to another win. Notre Dame 34 Tennessee 20.
