Skip to comments.A good time to be armed
Posted on 05/07/2002 9:53:16 AM PDT by 45Auto
I am an unlikely supporter of the National Rifle Association and similar groups. I've not fired a gun in more than 40 years. I dislike hunting intensely and believe all firearms to be symbols of a violent society. But I am also a very practical human being.
I supported the Texas law that allowed concealed handguns. I believe strongly in the literal interpretation of the Second Amendment guaranteeing private ownership of guns. But I also hold that such gun ownership comes with responsibility and consequences for one's actions.
Since Sept. 11, my support of gun ownership has only intensified.
What if the pilots or others on those ill-fated planes had been armed? The thought of a gunfight on a high-altitude plane is frightening, but the mere appearance of armed pilots and passengers might have turned things around.
I have always believed that humans are inherently violent creatures. That gives no comfort to those who hope for human progress and enlightenment. But because of the violent nature of man, we must deter violence by armed means.
Police are armed. There are armed forces to deter aggressors and terrorists. In an extension of this argument, why not an armed citizenry as well?
One situation supports my idea of an armed citizenry.
About 10 years ago, a student told me a very frightening tale. She was driving alone on Interstate 30 late at night. A car with two men came up alongside hers. They began hurling insults at her, motioning her to pull over. She looked straight ahead, trying not to make any face-to-face contact. They continued their insults and tried to run her car off the highway. The mere description of it is frightening.
However, she always carried a gun with her, as she had night classes and also worked evenings as well. She pulled the gun from her purse and held it up so the two harassing men could plainly view it. The convincing way she held the gun and her determined look made the men drive off without any confrontation.
She was convinced that without the gun, the men would have forced her off the highway. By the way, she knew well how to use firearms.
Since then, the issue of terrorism has become front and center for us all.
Why not have everyone who is willing, trained and licensed to carry legal weapons be allowed to do so? I would feel more comfortable in public places if I knew that many people there might be carrying firearms and knew how to use them.
True, terrorists bent on suicide might not be deterred, but they might be stopped before their horror could be unleashed. This has happened frequently in Israel and others places plagued with terrorism. If terrorism were to be unleashed in this country, as some predict and fear, an armed and responsible citizenry would be a helpful addition to the fight.
Citizens have a right to defend their bodies, their property and their liberty. The Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of "life, liberty, or property without due process of the law." Responsible people have the right - perhaps even the obligation - of defending themselves, their families and their property from terrorism, foreign or domestic.
We do not live in a pleasant world. Those who are against firearms unjustly and unfairly believe that depriving people of legal firearms makes us safer. They are wrong!
Please know that gun use and ownership is commensurate with responsibility. If anyone using a firearm harms the innocent, that person should be held accountable, swiftly and surely. I have always believed in gun ownership, but the tragic events of Sept. 11 and the ongoing threat of terrorism have bolstered my long-held beliefs considerably.
Allan Saxe is a UT-Arlington associate professor.
See? Not all academics are liberal pinheads.
You have to admit though, living in Texas probably had something to do with it. It's hard to imagine an associate professor at a state university in New Jersey, for instance, coming to the same logical conclusions.
I'm surprised Professor Saxe hasn't been censured, condemned and/or dismissed from UT Arlington for this. In Liberaland, the truth must be crushed by any means necessary.
You got That right!!
Good question, but for the "licensed" part, Dr. Saxe.
I can find no reference in the U.S. Constitution which allows any government official to "license" a Constitutionally guaranteed unalienable right.
"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep an bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Self-evident, is it not?
Taken as a whole, however, you are moving in the right direction.
P.S. Over the past 43 years, I have used a weapon in a manner similar to (shown to, pointed at, never fired at the mutt(s)) your student 7 times to protect myself or my family. I am convinced that had I not been armed in those circumstances, great harm could have come to me or my family.
amen to that! and here we have politicians who still do not support the arming of pilots and would rather choose to shoot the airliner full of passengers out of the sky. pathetic....

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Natural Dyes and Nanostructural Improvement of TiO2 Film

The characteristics of the dye-sensitized solar cells using natural dyes, such as those of red-cabbage, curcumin, and red-perilla, and synthesized dyes, such as NKX-2553, NKX-2677, and D149, in which a precious metal is not contained, will be explained. The largest conversion efficiency obtained is over 1% for the dye-sensitized solar cell using the dye of red-cabbage. This value is relatively small. However, the cost performance (defined by [conversion efficiency]/[cost of dye]) is more than 50 times greater than that of the dye-sensitized solar cell using Ruthenium complex. Therefore, when the cost of FTO and ITO substrates, oxide semiconductor, electrolyte solution, and opposite electrode becomes very low, dye-sensitized solar cells fabricated using natural dyes may become more pervasive, although the physical device becomes larger than one using a Ruthenium complex. The effects of pH of the dye solution on the characteristic of the dye-sensitized solar cells will be also described. The conversion efficiencies of the dye-sensitized solar cells using the dye of red-cabbage, red-perilla, NKX-2553, and NKX-2677 become larger when the pH value is low. It is expected that this technique will be used in future dye-sensitized solar cell systems.

My experience with Rear Brakes
So I originally took my car into Babbit Motor Works which a supposedly reputable independent mechanic in the Phoenix valley for a brake light sensor that came on. NOT ABS, simple replacement sensor. I ask him to look at my brakes.
He tells me I am "Metal to metal" in the rear and almost metal to metal in the fronts. Now tell me if I'm wrong, but that gives me the impression that the brake pad backing plate is touching the rotor and could be rubbing down the caliper to the point of exposed pistons. Which would mean new caliper (ouch). He claimed that I needed to do this immediately. I heard no metal to metal grinding or even squeaking with my rear brakes just the sensor. I know I didn't drive the car more than 100 miles with the sensor on, so I couldn't possibly have worn down to the caliper. I would call BMW USA and demand they pay for it if that had been the case. 100 miles is no where near enough prevention time. or whatever.
Anyways, he quotes me 400.00 just for the rear brake pads and rotors (Parts only). I ordered my brakes through autohausaz, 173.50 including tax for rear rotors (zimmerman, nothing special), pagid pads and the sensor. almost ~120 percent markup.
He also draws up a pretty similar front brake quote which he recommended.
So he quoted me 140.00 on labor for rear installation, I thought that is also high but not too bad so I call him and try to schedule an installation because i honestly just needed to get this done and they are really close.
As if he was butt-hurt that I ordered my own parts to save myself money on his markup, he told me he couldn't now do the installation since he doesn't know if the parts are good, I said thats absurd, there sealed and good to go. these are cheap ebay brakes, theyre authentic. He wouldn't do it.
So i called my brother who went through a similar dilemma with his volkswagen. He said go to Midas, all they do is brakes. Anyways, Midas does my brakes in an hour for 110.00 and did the job right, even the sensor is installed properly.
They also informed me my mechanic is full of sh*t. My front brakes had 7mm left on them and my rears had 2mm. 2mm is bad, but not "metal to metal" what the f*ck is that saying that I could be damaging my caliper to get business. Needless to say I was pretty mad because I was talking to the owner, Nathan Babbit.
I was impressed to say the least, normally I would never take my car to a Midas or Jiffy Lube or Big O to get serviced, not even for oil if i gave them the quarts, but the midas mechanic installed my brakes which theyre liable for if they fail so all in all good experience.
I would recommend Midas for anyone experiencing a similar dilemma with buying your own brakes and paying someone just for labor.
I wish I had some tools and jack stands down here and I would do it myself. but oh well.

Welcome to the real world.
-Yes, mechanics are going to suggest as much work be done with them as possible, it's called a business. You have the right to decline services on your car.
-Yes, your pads were close to metal backing plate on rotor, and I wouldn't be surprised if this risked damage on some cars.
-Yes, most mechanics do NOT want to use customer supplied parts because then the customer comes back and blames them if their supplied part fails.

I am not surprised he wouldn't install your parts. I am also not surprised by his quote. It is absurd, but that's how all mechanics are.
I would trust Midas to install my brakes. I would probably observe them doing it, but our brakes aren't any different fundamentally for any others. The only extra thing is the sensor and I'm sure they've seen that before on a BMW.
You'll find this will happen with 99% of mechanics out there.

I had the exact same thing happen to me this week. One of the rear pads got to worn and the piston started sticking and quickly wore the pad down, before, I could get to it. So, I'm just going to do the rear pads and rotors myself, using some economy parts on and then use my tax refund to put some quality parts from either Pelican, BAVAUTO and put some all the around the car.

If the brakes need done the customer can make that decision. I wouldn't need to try to scare them to get business.
OP in the future if its an easily check part by sight, ask to see the part in question before a quote is drawn up.

Isis Gets More Money from Biogen Idec
Biogen Idec and Isis Pharmaceuticals will work together to discover and develop antisense drugs against three undisclosed targets to treat neurological or neuromuscular disorders. Under terms of the agreement, Isis will receive an up-front payment of $30 million and is responsible for the discovery of a lead antisense drug for each of the three undisclosed targets.
Isis is eligible to receive development milestone payments to support R&D prior to Biogen Idec exercising its option to license each program. Biogen Idec has the option to license a drug from each of the three programs through the completion of Phase II trials. Isis could receive up to another $200 million in license fee and regulatory milestone payments per program.
In addition, Isis will receive double-digit royalties on sales of drugs. Isis will be responsible for development of the drugs through the completion of the initial Phase II clinical trial, with Biogen Idec providing advice and assistance on research and the clinical trial design and conduct and regulatory strategy for each program. If Biogen Idec exercises its option, it will assume global development, regulatory, and commercialization responsibilities.
The firms inked two other collaborations with each other this year. In January, Biogen Idec paid Isis $29 million up front for a deal centered on development and commercialization of Isis' Phase I-stage antisense candidate for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy, ISIS-SMNRX. Then in June, Biogen Idec paid Isis another $12 million as part of an agreement focused on the development of an antisense drug for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1.

The recent IPO by Third Point Reinsurance focused attention on the sentiment of equity investors towards reinsurance stocks. But despite a greater wariness and many investment alternatives, the sector remains attractive to equity investors—just not to the extent it once was.
As the first initial public offering (IPO) by a reinsurance company in quite a while, Third Point Reinsurance, the reinsurance company started by hedge-fund specialist Dan Loeb, was always going to closely watched by the investment community as a kind of litmus test of the sentiment of equity investors towards reinsurance stocks at the moment, especially in the context of so much alternative capacity pouring into the industry.
Perhaps Third Point Reinsurance should not be regarded as a typical example of a reinsurer. Its investment strategy, managed by Loeb's Third Point LLC, sets it apart from many more conservative players. And its underwriting side, which it describes as opportunistic but disciplined, focuses on lines of business that have historically delivered stable returns.
According to the company's IPO filing, it plans to use the IPO proceeds to add reinsurance programmes from European, Asian and South American clients, though a majority of its business will continue to be from the US.

The Destination
The beloved stomping grounds of luminary authors like Joyce and Yeats, Dublin is every bit the atmospheric charmer it's made out to be: busy cobblestone streets, cozy neighborhood pubs overflowing with storytelling patrons, traditional Irish music wafting through the air. This isn't to say that you won't be able to find quiet in Dublin. Walk through the gates of Trinity College, the alma mater of Oscar Wilde, or take a seat in St. Stephen's Green to find a bit of peace in the midst of the city.
Though, if it's true quiet you seek, a side trip to the countryside around Killarney is in order. While the town itself is home to only about 7,000 permanent residents, its postcard-worthy side streets bustle with tourists, local hawkers, pubs, and restaurants. Meanwhile, the gemstone-green countryside around Killarney National Park bristles with stone-studded creeks, idyllic waterfalls, and gently sloping mountains. There are even a couple of castle-like estates that seem to have been the inspiration for fairy tales everywhere.
Ready to experience the Emerald Isle in all its storybook glory? Join Great Value Vacations on an eight-day trip to Dublin and Killarney, which includes round-trip flights and train travel between the two cities.

Best League of Legends items
There are many items in League of Legends. Some of them are popular some of them not. In this guide we will list items that have the most impact on the game itself. However this doesn't mean that you have to buy items from this chart everytime you play. Your item build should not be "scripted". Remember that basically there are no bad or good items and your item choice should be situation depended.
In this part of guide, we will consider most useful LoL items if your aim is to attack.
- +25 Attack damage
- +10 Life steal
- +40% Attack speed
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Your attacks deal 8% of the target's current health in physical damage (60 max vs minions and monsters).
UNIQUE ACTIVE: Drains target champion, dealing 10% of the target's maximum health in physical damage (min. 100) and healing you for the damage dealt. Additionally you steal 25% of their movement speed for 3 seconds – 90 second cooldown. (450 range)
Cost: 3200 Gold
The only item in League of Legends that has all necessary stats for attack damage carry: attack speed, life steal and attack damage. Despite that this item was hardly nerfed (cost was increased while range of active ability, attack damage and life steal were decreased) it's still one of the best items in League of Legends. One of the main reasons for this is versatility. You don't need another item to start to rock like it happens with Infinity Edge or Bloodthirster that require Phantom Dancer oк Statikk Shiv to deal decent damage. Another reason is an amazing active ability which often is the last word in duels or can be used as an escape tool. However it's hard to activate it on most ADc's due to low range of it. That's why you usually see BotRK on ranged champions like Twitch or Vayne. For melee champions who are attack speed depended like Irelia, this is just wonderful item which boosts their potential to kill and their survivability.
- +30 Ability Power
- +30 Attack Damage
- +30% Attack Speed
- +10% Critical Chance
- +250 Health Points
- +200 Mana Points
- +8% Movement Speed
UNIQUE PASSIVE – RAGE: Basic attacks grant 20 movement speed for 2 seconds on hit. Minion, monster, and champion kills grant 60 movement speed for 2 seconds. The movement speed bonus is halved for ranged champions.
UNIQUE PASSIVE – SPELLBLADE: After using an ability, your next basic attack deals 200% base AD bonus physical damage. (1.5 second cooldown).
Cost: 3703 Gold
Another independent item which provides multiple stats and increases burst damage. For a full tanky bruiser having Trinity Force is enough to be able to stomp enemy carries. Movement speed boost of 8% and flat 20 when you attack a target is another great addition because there are few items in the game what provide movement speed except boots. In addition, should be mentioned that Trinity Force consists of useful parts which usually are big help by themselves. Trinity Force sits best on the champions with the following features:
- Spells with low cooldowns what leads to frequent triggers of Spellblade
- High base damage since Spellblade damage based on it
- Abilities what apply on hit-effects, e.g. Nasus or Irelia
- +75 Attack Damage
- +100% Base health regeneration
- +12% Life steal
PASSIVE: Damage dealt by this item benefits from life steal.
UNIQUE PASSIVE – CLEAVE: Your attacks deal up to 60% of your Attack Damage to units around your target as physical damage (185 range), decaying down to 20% near the edge (385 range).
UNIQUE ACTIVE – CRESCENT: Deals up to 100% of your Attack Damage to units around you as physical damage, decaying down to 60% near the edge. – 10 second cooldown (400 range).
Since Bloodthirster was reworked in a defensive side, Ravenous Hydra became the best choice if you seek for pure AD damage. Amazing lane sustain and pushing potential combined with great bonus AD stats and damage from the active ability which, in fact, allows to strike twice at once when fight begins. This is nice addition to the burst of any AD melee champion.
- +120 Ability Power
- +7% Movement Speed
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Gains charges upon moving or casting. At 100 charges, the next instance of ability damage you deal will expend all charges to deal 100 (+ 15% AP) bonus magic damage to the first enemy hit and summon up to 3 lesser bolts that target nearby enemies, prioritizing enemies damaged by the ability and champions over minions.
Cost: 3100
Item which was added recently became incredible popular in a short time. Except Lich Bane what suits only a few mid lane champions there were no items with bonus movement speed for mages. Luden's Echo suits all. Moreover it's effect scales with AP thus this item is amazing for poke champions. As well passive effect is a nice addition to the champion burst. Since AP champions usually don't buy items for survivability except Zhonya's Hourglass, mobility is often the key to survive that's why this item is really good. Also it can help you to out roam your lane enemy because it increases your pushpotential and makes you move faster than your foe.
- +50 Ability Power
- +300 Health
- +15 Magic Penetration
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Dealing spell damage applies a damage-over-time effect that deals bonus magic damage equal to 2% of the target's current health per second for 3 seconds. This bonus damage is doubled against movement-impaired units and capped at 100 damage per second vs. monsters.
Cost: 2900
Having only the Liandry's Torment in your inventory is enough to deal significant damage on champions like Zyra or Lulu even with pure support builds. Due to Liandry's Torment passive AP champions who have any crowd control start to deal decent damage in team fights or during poke. Additional 300 Health Points is also a good help for squishy champions.
In this part of guide, we will consider the most useful LoL items if your aim is to defend yourself and your allies.
- +120 Ability Power
- +50 Armor
UNIQUE ACTIVE: Put yourself in stasis for 2.5 seconds, rendering yourself untargetable and invulnerable for the duration, but also unable to move, attack, cast spells, or use items during this time. 90 second cooldown.
Cost: 3300 Gold
Zhonya's Hourglass is the number one League of Legends item. It deserved this spot because this item able to turn back team fights if used in the right time and place. There are many reasons why you can use this truly gamebreaker item:
- When you went in to burst someone while you play champions like Fizz or Diana. This often leads to situation when enemy team gather around you what makes them an easy target for your allies.
- While you are in the invulnerable statis your cooldowns continue to go off thus champions who have abilities with low cooldowns can make second cast when Zhonya's Hourglass effect last, e.g. Annie or Akali.
- Sometimes you can absorb really huge damage which enemies threw on you.
However may take some time until you learn how to use active ability of Zhonya's Hourglass properly.
- +500 Health Points
- +70 Armor
UNIQUE PASSIVE – COLD STEEL: When hit by basic attacks, reduces the attacker's attack speed by 10%.
UNIQUE ACTIVE: Slows the movement speed of nearby enemy units by 35% for 2 (+ 0.5% armor) (+ 0.5% magic resistance) seconds. 60 second cooldown (500 Range).
Cost: 3000 Gold
The best armor item in the game if your aim is self-defense. Except that Randuin's Omen provides strong defensive stats, it has an amazing active ability for bruisers that allows to slow multiple enemies after engage. Also Randuin's Omen slows attack speed of attacking enemies by 10% (it slows overall attack speed, not just reduces it by 10%. This is another reason why this item is so valued).
- +70 Ability Power
- +45 Magic Resistance
UNIQUE AURA: Reduces the magic resist of nearby enemies by 20 (700 range).
Cost: 2440 Gold
Cheap but is very effective item in the mage competition. Best choice against champions with high burst like Le Blanc when you need survivability without getting behind in damage output. Moreover this item provides useful aura which would be a decent help in team fights since most champions in League of Legends have magic damage on some of their abilities. The only drawback of this item is a short range of aura therefore you often won't get benefits from it on champions whose abilities are long range like Syndra or Xerath.
- +450 Health Points
- +45 Armor
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Deals 25 + (1 x level) magic damage per second to nearby enemies (400 range).
Cost: 2650 Gold
The most popular item for top lane bruisers and there several reasons for that:
- Good defensive stats at cheap cost
- Magic damage which is more valuable in lane fights than physical because bruisers usually have mostly physical damage thus they stack armor against each other
- Increases your split push potential
- +100 Armor
- +20% Cooldown Reduction
- +400 Mana Points
UNIQUE AURA: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 15% (700 range).
Cost: 2600 Gold
Frozen heart has the best aura for the late game when attack damage carries start to rock. Also it provides huge amount of Cooldown Reduction (40% is max in League of Legends) which is one of the most important stats for tanks because allows them to use their gap closer and crowd control abilities much more often what exactly they need in order to sit on enemy carries. Bonus of 100 armor would be a big help during this process, negating damage of ADc.
- +450 Health Points
- +55 Magic Resistance
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Grants a spell shield that blocks the next enemy ability. This shield refreshes after no damage is taken from enemy champions for 40 seconds.
UNIQUE PASSIVE: Grants 45 health regen for up to 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion or when the spell shield breaks.
Cost: 2750 Gold
Banshee's Veil is the best LoL item if you have only one slot for a defensive item. Blocking one spell in the late game can easily lead to avoidance of huge damage or even death. For tanky champions Banshee's Veil effect prevents disengage attempts of enemies when you have to go in. Don't forget about big amount of bonus HP and magic resistance.
- +650 Health Points
- +300 Mana Points
- +100% Base Health Regeneration
UNIQUE PASSIVE – VALOR'S REWARD: On leveling up, restores 150 health and 200 mana over 8 seconds.
UNIQUE ACTIVE: Grants +60% Movement Speed to you and nearby allies when moving towards enemies for 3 seconds. When this speed boost ends, it emits a shockwave, slowing nearby enemy champions by 80% for one second (60s cooldown).
Cost: 2500 Gold
As Luden's Echo Righteous Glory was added recently in League of Legends and become popular very fast. What are you getting when you buy this item? A lot. The most advantage of this item is that it is good during the lane and team fight stages of the game. For the lane phase you are receiving:
- Very decent amount of bonus health and mana
- Health regeneration
- Lane sustain from Valor's Reward is very effective at early game when champions level up fast
For team fight phase you are receiving best engage ability item can provide which is very effective on champions like Maokai or Volibear. Another significant advantage is a cheap cost.
As we mentioned before, your item choice should depend mostly on situation in the game. However there are default item builds which are very close to universal and you may include items from this chart in your builds.

KDE 4 Too Late for Fedora 8
The next release of the Fedora Linux Distribution, version 8, will not use KDE 4 as its standard desktop environment. The reason for this is conflict between the two projects' schedules.
The release of the Red Hat-sponsored distribution envisages a final freeze for October 23, 2007, and Fedora 8 should be ready for downloading November 8. The KDE project is also looking to release version 4.0 of its desktop environment October 23, too late for the Fedora community.
Fedora developers have set up a Wiki that details KDE 4 integration. The page is not currently up to date. KDE 4 is planned for introduction with Fedora 9, which is due for release in May 2008.
Although Fedora 8 will be using a desktop environment from the KDE 3.x branch, KDE 4 update packages are likely to become available shortly after the release.

The move mailbox process in Exchange Server 2003 includes several improvements over the same Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server process. This article describes these improvements, offers suggestions for successful mailbox move procedures, and includes general troubleshooting information.
More Information
Moving Mailboxes by Using Exchange System ManagerTo move mailboxes on Exchange 2000, you use the Move Mailbox command in Active Directory Users and Computers. On Exchange Server 2003, this command is also available in Exchange System Manager. When you use Exchange System Manager to move mailboxes, you can easily move all users from one database or server to another location. As the number of Exchange users in your organization fluctuates, you can move mailboxes to help adjust server workload.
Note Mailbox moves are supported on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 or later.
To move mailboxes on Exchange Server 2003, follow these steps:
- Start Exchange System Manager on the Exchange Server 2003 computer where you want to run the process.
- Double-click Servers, and then locate the server container where the mailboxes of the users are located.
For example, if you want to move mailboxes from the default storage group and mailbox store, double-click First Storage Group, double-click Mailbox Store, and then click Mailboxes.
- In the right-hand pane, click the mailboxes you want to move.
- Right-click the selected users, and then click Exchange Tasks.
- In the Exchange Task Wizard, click Next.
- On the Available Tasks page, click Move Mailbox under Select a task to perform, and then click Next.
- On the Move Mailbox page, click a destination in the Server list, and then click a mailbox store in the Mailbox Store list.
- Click Next.
- Configure how you want any corrupted messages that are found during the move to be handled, and then click Next.
- Click Next.
Mailbox Move Processing In Exchange Server 2003In Exchange Server 2003, you can run multiple mailbox moves at the same time. For example, you can start moving mailboxes on one database, and then start another mailbox move session from another database on the same server. The mailbox move process is now multi-threaded, and the processes run separately and at the same time. The number of moves that you can run at the same time depends on the hardware that you use and on the number of mailboxes that you want to move.
Note Four threads are used for each instance of Move Mailbox.
In Exchange Server 2003, you can also automatically skip and log corrupted mailbox items. In Exchange 2000, the whole move mailbox process would fail if a corrupted item was found. When you move mailboxes in Exchange Server 2003, you can stop processing the source mailbox if corrupted items are found or you can skip the corrupted items and continue the mailbox move.
Note The number of items that you can skip during a move is controlled by using the Maximum number of corrupted items to skip value. The default value is 3 and it can be set as high as 100; this value can be configured when you start the mailbox move process.
Because corrupted items are permanently deleted from the mailbox, you must back up the source mailboxes before you try to move mailboxes. For example, if you skip up to six corrupted items, you can delete up to six messages from a mailbox and still successfully move the mailbox. If the maximum number of corrupted items is exceeded, the mailbox is not moved.
When you move mailboxes in Exchange Server 2003, you can also specify an end time (or cut-off time) for the move process. For example, you can select a group of mailboxes to move overnight; the move operation is automatically canceled for any mailboxes that are not completely moved by the cut-off time that you configured. Any mailboxes that have not been completely moved are rolled back to their source location. Mailboxes that are moved before the cut-off time remain in their new location.
During the move, a detailed move mailbox report log is generated. This report is in XML format and is saved in the drive:\Documents and Settings\Profile\My Documents\Exchange Task Wizard Logs folder, where drive is the hard disk where Microsoft Windows is installed and where Profile is the profile folder for the user who initiated the mailbox move procedure.
Note The report can be opened automatically after the mailbox move is complete.
If a user tries to sign in to their mailbox while it is being moved, the following event will be logged in the Application log on the Exchange Server 2003 computer that hosts the mailbox: The Move Mailbox feature in Exchange Server 2003 helps to prevent the accidental movement of system mailboxes. If you try to move the System Attendant mailbox, you receive the following error message:
Not available for exchangeAdminService objectsIf you try to move a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mailbox, you receive the following error message:
Not available for mailGateway objectsIf you try to move a system mailbox, you receive the following error message:
This is a System Mailbox and it cannot be moved
Recommendations When You Use the Move Mailbox FeatureMicrosoft recommends that you back up the source mailbox server before you try to move any mailboxes. Additionally, perform a full online Exchange backup of the destination server after the mailbox moves are complete. Also, consider backing up messages to .pst files; this will allow for quick recovery if individual mailboxes cannot be moved successfully.
For every gigabyte of data that you move, an additional gigabyte of transaction logs is generated at the target server. Verify that you have sufficient free space on your transaction log drive. If you do not have sufficient free space on your transaction log drive for transaction log file generation, you could temporarily turn on circular logging on the General tab of the storage group's properties page. If you have turned on circular logging during the mailbox move, make sure that you turn circular logging off when the mailbox move is completed. If you leave circular logging turned on, you cannot restore up to the point of failure if the database has to be restored from a backup. If disk space is a concern, you may also want to consider performing incremental backups during the mailbox moves to clear log files.

328810 Moving mailboxes between servers
Event and Error Messages That Are Related to Mailbox MovesIf your organization includes a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 that is connected by using the Microsoft Active Directory Connector, stop replication over one or more recipient Connection Agreements until the mailbox moves are complete. After the changes have replicated throughout the Microsoft Active Directory directory service, restart replication.
How to Troubleshoot Mailbox MovesIf you experience problems during the move mailbox process, see the move mailbox log that is described earlier in this article.
You can also increase the level of detail that is captured in the Application log by increasing the logging level. To do this, follow these steps:
- In Exchange System Manager, right-click the source server, and then click Properties.
- Click Diagnostics Logging.
- In the Services list, double-click MSExchangeIS, and then click System.
- In the Categories list, click Move Mailbox.
- Under Logging level, click Maximum, and then click OK.
- Size limits on the destination server, including mailbox size limits, can prevent successful mailbox moves. Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition includes a 16-gigabyte limit.
- A mailbox must be associated with a valid account. If the account that is associated with a mailbox is disabled, the associated external account must reference SELF in the Active Directory directory service or in a resource account.
Note The SELF account is available in all Microsoft Windows 2000 domains. All SELF accounts share a well-known security identifier that is the same across all domains.
- View the Admindmp.txt file to troubleshoot issues that occur during or after a mailbox has been moved.
- Try comparing the mailbox attributes on the problem mailboxes with mailboxes that are known to be good to determine whether a configuration difference is causing the move issues.

Last year my Japanese Maple looked it's best in the approx. 5 years I've had it. It came through a blizzard and didn't lose a branch. This spring, most of it seems dead in the middle half of the branches and then there are leaves at the tips. Do I prune these branches all the way back to the trunk? It doesn't look like there would be much tree left after that.
Is my Bloodgood more dead than alive?
Tom, I have done something called Root Flare to all my JM and fruit trees.
Check this link and scroll down till you come to root flare. There are a number of pages on root flare.
It looks very odd but it will make a big difference in a trees health.
Toni, the root flare problem might be something to look into if you have the time and inclination to do so but to answer your question about pruning, if it were my tree I think I would just sit tight for now and see how it develops this growing season before I would do anything drastic.
Thank you Dwight and GardenSox for your responses.
I am a novice with trees and this is the only tree I've grown in my garden other than a pine tree that had to be removed b/c it was leaning and threatening to take out the garage with a good wind. At this point, I am inclined to wait and see if the branches that are bare in the middle with leaves at the tips, will send some offshoots. I don't know what to expect this gardening season with the unusually warm weather patterns we've been experiencing.

I would love to use Spiceworks to not only manage my IT tickets, but also help our maintenance guy with tracking his issues. Is there a way to set it up so that when a user is putting in a ticket, they either choose Maintenance or Help Desk, and then this ticket automatically gets placed in either the IT Help Desk or into the Maintenance help desk? I realize the software is not made to do this out of the box, but i cant be the only one who doesn't want to have to install to different ticketing systems.

Hi Jim from Orlando,
You are absolutely right that I did not explain myself very clearly when I wrote that first complaint. I was just so in shock that my car was gone that I just rambled.
This actually all started back in December when I went on short term disability. We called them and asked if we could have the December payment deferred. They said yes no problem but to send them $50.00 which we did. Unknown to us after we sent them the $50.00 check they decided not to defer the payment. So by the time we were to pay again they said we owed a double payment. We could not believe they decided not to defer our payment as agreed but had no choice to pay a double payment. We told them we would send a double payment electronically from our computer (checking account) but they said absolutely not. They told us they needed the two payments sent by moneygram and we could do that at Walmart. We couldn't understand why but had to make the payments so they wouldnt take our car. So that is what we did. They sent us two statements since then showing that the money orders were applied to my account. I have the statements in black and white. They sent me my last statement showing I owed for March 15th. When we found that they took my car we were scratching our heads because we couldnt figure out why. Then we called and they told us our money orders were reversed on March 30th (2 months later) How were we to know this when our statements reflected the money orders? We assumed from the statements that everything was fine and why wouldn't we? They are the ones that made us use the moneygram from Walmart and would not accept anything else. We asked them what a reversed money order meant and they did not know and could not tell us. They gave us a different number to Nuvell to call and they didn't know either. They said to get my car back they needed another double payment (mind you this is the second time we paid for the same months) or I couldnt get my car. I pleaded with them to let me send an electronic payment from my on line checking account. They said no money order no car! That original money order did get on someone's desk at Nuvell to have posted it as paid to my account. Called moneygram and they keep you on hold for hours. I kept the phone on speaker most of the day as I went about my business in the house and they never answered. Okay so now we call Nuvell back to say we have no choice and it is against our better judgement but we will send ANOTHER DOUBLE PAYMENT. They then tell us our car was sent for auction which had only been repossed 2 days earlier and the fee was going to be alot higher. Okay now we were at their mercy and send the money order in the total amount they wanted us to and they released my car. We pick it up on Wednesday. I have contacted a lawyer who is going to take my case because somewhere along the line someone stole my money. And that is it in the nutshell. Thank you for responding and I am so sorry if I came off a little too harsh on you. I was just upset and I guess the timing was bad when I saw your response but I realized after I read my original complaint that it was missing alot of parts.
Take Care.

The bottom line to all this is they repo'ed the car because according to them you didn't make the payments or make good on these "reversed money orders".
Why are you messing around with money orders in the first place? A checking account is easier to deal with.
Secondly, if what I'm reading is they did not credit these stupid money order payments to your account because they were "reversed". Did you ask them what that means? Did you save receipts from these things from Walmart? Is there a customer service number on the receipt so you can call them and find out what the story is from the perspective of the M/O company?
In your original posting, you said NOTHING about "reversed money orders" or "payments mistakenly made to another account". You did say you couldn't make the payments.

The cold hard facts of life are they don't care what the reason is you are late. They've heard it all before, in fact, over and over and over. The only thing they care about is that YOU agreed to make the payments on time, everytime. The contract does not give you or anybody else a "pass" for medical reasons. The reason they did the repo is they think its better for them to at least get the car back than nothing. If this is a subprime lender, then they will manage their accounts much closer than a prime lender would.
There is nothing different here than the normal account management tactics used by other lenders. From what you've written, it doesn't appear they violated any laws in this instance.
Bottom line, they felt their security (the car) was in jeopardy. By getting the car back, they can sell it at auction and get something back and sue you for the rest.

A Grand Feast
I'd forgotten how beautiful Hogwarts was. The summer had been a long one and school was always at the back of my mind. Every week or so I'd receive a letter from a school friend, but otherwise I had no interaction with magically folk for the last two months. Thank goodness for school.
Toby, Dylan and I walked to the carriages together. In front of us, my class friends Maria and Claire were laughing manically. They turned to see me.
"Oh, hey Arianna. Didn't see you there." Claire said between chuckles.
I ran off ahead of the boys and boarded the carriage in front of theirs.
"Maybe we'll see you later?"
I nodded and smiled as we rode away.
When we were out of earshot, Maria took an opportunity to make fun of me, an enjoyment that rarely came around. "So, who's your new friends?" She said mockingly. "They look a little old for you."
"C'mon guys, that's not funny. They're nice guys."
"Oh, I bet they are!" They joked together.
I laughed, tutted and shook my head. "You're just jealous because I'm friends with 4th and 5th year boys." I retorted. "Plus, he's American."
The Great Hall was packed and the Sorting Hat was out once again. I sat half way along the Gryffindor table, with Claire and Maria on either side, and the ginger boy, Hugo Weasley, sitting across the table. Hugo had inherited his father's appetite, as he was ripping the chicken in the centre of the table to shreds. It was lucky that I wasn't hungry.
I turned on the bench to face the other tables. Toby was sitting with his friends at the Ravenclaw benches, the house where I should've been placed. Behind him, Dylan wasn't short of company, with people dying to know the new kids name. Then, the Slytherins, where Trixie Malfoy sat, glaring at me.

How Cadbury's Venkatesan is trying to replace mithai with chocolate
Generate Enquiries for your Business by Listing on Economictimes.com
MUMBAI: Cadbury may be synonymous with chocolate in India and command a two-thirds share of the billion-dollar market here, but ChandramouliVenkatesan bristles at the suggestion that he has an easy job. The marketing and strategy chief for Cadbury Kraft in India (he also oversees chocolates in Asia) is an oddball in the foods industry, sharply focused on making select brands blossom rather than launching and managing an overflowing basket of products like many of his peers.
Rather than leading a launch blitz, Venkatesan has spent his time growing the chocolates category. He has tweaked the marketing ploy for new categories such as dark chocolate with Bournville and premium milk chocolate with Dairy Milk Silk, which together account for 5% of the market today; and he is also looking for ways to make chocolates more easily available, consumed more often and to get brand loyalists to upgrade from conventional 5 and 10 Dairy Milk bars to pricier options.
Clearly, the challenge for Ventatesan is not so much to maintain Cadbury's dominant share but more expand the chocolate pie. He's doing that by pushing to replace traditional sweets as a dessert with chocolate. The campaign 'Khaane Ke Baad Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye' seeks to achieve this even as another one - 'Shubh Arambh' - seeks to have chocolate as a replacement to mithai when starting something new.
"Our markets (chocolates and biscuits) should double every five years," Venkatesan says. While the chocolates market globally is much bigger than biscuits - which the local operation entered into with Kraft brand Oreo a year and a half ago -- in India it is the other way around. Biscuits are a $3-3.5 billion opportunity and chocolates are a third of that.
At the same time Cadbury Kraft is opening up new categories to encourage bigger-ticket spending with, for instance, a brand like Bournville, a dark chocolate. Initially, Cadbury went in for the kill with a 65 bar, but quickly realized that consumers were wary of spending on a new chocolate and taste at such a high price band.
"The initial conversion was easy ... you had people who had already experienced dark chocolate overseas ...getting the next round of consumers was harder." says Venkatesan. To expand its reach Cadbury introduced a 30 pack and simultaneously a barrage of promotions (with the tag line 'you don't just buy a Bournville you earn it') to educate consumers on cocoa and prod them to expand their taste beyond conventional (read sweet milk) chocolate.
Venkatesan uses a cricket analogy to explain his patience with new products. "You don't give a new batsman just one Test and expect him to fire; you let him play for a while and see how well he plays," he says. As a marketer, he is using similar guidelines for his products and indeed to measure the success of his team.
While maintaining Cadbury's supremacy is important, he frequently says that a long-term goal of industry growth and setting up the "organisation for the future, with a pipeline of products and innovation," is how he would like to be judged.
"I have known him for 20 years and he's built a keen understanding of the consumer... he spends time analysing them and is able to marry the science and numbers of marketing with the creative side smoothly," says Bharat Puri, global head of Cadbury's chocolate business in Switzerland. He believes that Venkatesan's diverse career (both within and outside) has helped him provide this wide-angle perspective to marketing.
Madhukar Sabnavis, country head for discovery & planning at ad agency O&M, points out that Venkatesan has been able to use his sound knowledge of marketing not just to lever more sales of chocolate, but to also refresh and re-launch brands such as Gems. "He is able to see well ahead of where a brand today stands and sees it as a dynamic and evolving entity," he says.
This ability to look ahead--both from a brand and consumer perspective--has helped him spot the opportunity for new brands in India and to expand consumption. "Each brand--Dairy Milk, Five Star, Perk and Gems-- has a separate identity and Venkatesan is able to sharply position them to not just dominate their category, but also eat into the much larger traditional sweets market," adds Sabnavis.

?Good morning to you. Well first things first….very happy to announce a lucky winner of the pair of blue and white plates. Congratulations goes to…..
Result:? 33?? Scribbler July 11, 2013 at 10:21 AM?
As with all my random musings post…this one is a bit of this and a bit of that. I loved hearing your take on the white dresses yesterday. Many of you loved my personal fave too, #3 though for the event tomorrow night its way too dressy, it is the kind of dress I would love to own and have in my closet, it feels like a throwback to elegant timeless Audrey Hepburn but there were so many I loved. If you missed the post click here, and weigh in on your favorite. Let's get started, shall we?
One Kings Lane. Admittedly I have grown a little skeptical of this site. I used to love it but my last three orders either came in damaged or were of inferior quality…so that was a huge disappointment. One was pillows that were so cheaply made I ended up giving them away, two broken ice buckets and dishes that came in that looked beautiful online but were really horrible in person. So though I still like to occasionally look I am have been leary about ordering any more. However I would have soooooo made an exception for both of these items…….both sold out!!!! The chairs I was devastated over…they are sooo beautiful, they belong here!!! Come to mama…….
I was however on a small scale able to score at least something, got? these lovely French bath products…I am sucker for fine soaps and anything with lavender.
Pillows……again! So this time around I am stressing and mulling over choices for my back patio. The Chiang Mai look gorgeous back there, I must say. Wrong size, I need bigger (but you get the idea)….however have found these, also Schumacher which have a similar feel but are still different (awaiting swatches to seal the deal).? Thoughts and opinions? Such a hard choice…..really love them all!
I like the idea of using these with one of the geometrics above
Or I can stay with what I have
And I have ordered lumbars in navy with ivory monogram to use on the club chairs….
A good cookbook. You know me and my books. I just can't seem to stop buying them. Just ordered Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. I had given this to a friend who loves to cook for her birthday? and when she started telling me about all the delectable recipes she has tried from the book and told me it's now one of her favorite books (a big compliment because this girl is a serious cook) I knew I had to get one of my own….all in the name of keeping my southern heritage alive of course (and those taste buds on high alert)! Click here to see it on Amazon.
?I was happy to do it and thought it was worth sharing in case you too feel inclined to help out. There is no such thing as a donation too small and literally every dollar is so appreciated. Click here for more information.
More Hamptons bliss. I don't know about you, but I never ever tire of seeing the beautiful Hamptons. Hopefully you agree because here are some wonderful highlights from recent trips out that way (that I forgot were on my computer)!
?Super charming Sag Harbor, if you ever get the chance….go!
?These dudes have a rough life……
?This set the tone for our lunch with a front row seat of the yachts (my friends idea to place the glass here and she's onto something:)
?We had fun watching the crews lug things from oodles of flowers to fresh produce onto the yachts
?Doesn't this look wonderfully old fashioned down to the vintage car?
?And this my friends,? is the famous American Hotel, a famous small town hotel where legions of famous faces and minds have visited
?The newest "it" hotel Topping Rose House
?We hit the cute pop up shop of Serena and Lily
?The decor was perfect for the beach lifestyle
?This was cheery…
?Here is the house dubbed "the perfect house" by? my boys when they were about five years old, it's stuck ever since:)
?East Hampton patriotism at its finest
?Hydrangeas are everywhere…..must be that salt air that keeps them so beautiful!
?I think these boys were artists and were sketching this beautiful scene, though I was hoping they would move!
And then another day we were at Dockers in Quogue and I loved this bar stools, done in navy and white…so chic.
Around my house.? Back to the drawing board, and want to finalize pillow selections, get them ordered, get the rest of my trees (now that I found them) and finish up the patio while we can still enjoy it! Awaiting fabric swatches for pillows and rest of trees coming in this week….
?I stuck a tree in just to get an idea…..love it. The tree is about 7 feet tall to give you an idea. I LOVE these planters but they are obviously too small, so the search continues for planters that I can get now and not have to order…..
?Added the geometric with navy tape, love it
?Do you like the lumbar or square on these chairs?
?These bad boys are slowly coming back….they took a beating in the 99 degree heat and intense humidity, so much so that we had to move them. They are finally getting a little life back
Mini and mama orchid. If you are thinking the colors look odd, guilty as charged…I started fiddling with settings on the camera and changed it without knowing how to change it back!
?Love this pale lilac hydrangea too in my statuary planter
Added a bunch more of the richly hued hydrangea now growing in abundance around here, think they look perfect in the blue and white container……
?Love mixing the colors
Shop news. I always get really excited about new products. As fall approaches and in preparation for the holidays I will be adding more things, I am always on the prowl for something wonderful. Check out these magnificent new pieces getting added, they are en route. I am so excited, love each and every one. Best part they are priced unbelievably low but are available only in certain quantities…once they are gone that is it! I will announce when they are physically here.
?Adore this pale blue vase. A new take on ginger jars and I think a pair will be perfect in my bedroom!? 11″ x 26″ $145.00
