i would like that thoguhts on this what are the pros and cons of haveing a backup soutions on tapes or on say blu-ray discs.
i would think that blu-ray discs would replace tape drive in the term of being able to hold more then 50GB to 100GB.

AFAIK, a single-layer BD is 24~GB, double is 48~. Not exactly the 50-100 range you're hoping for.
Jul 20, 2011 at 11:47 UTC
unless you have in the formant of BDXL witch can be 100GB or 128GB
Jul 21, 2011 at 1:27 UTC

Why would you not be looking at Hard Drive solutions? They are cheaper per Gig than Tape or Blue-Ray and they are faster and WAY more reliable? You can use ESATA or USB3 for excellent speed. The small drives are about the same size as a tape cartridge.
If you do not need 'Off-Site', then you can also look at a NAS box. They have come way down in price and a 8TB 4 Drive Raid 5 Solution solution is available for well under $1,000.
Also, any hard drive solution allows for faster search and restore operations.
Jul 21, 2011 at 4:28 UTC
I don't think Blu-Rays will ever replace tapes, they can't hold anywhere near as much data as tapes can, the tape drive I've just bought is an LTO-4 and allows up to 1.6TB of data when compressed, more than 10x the BDXL spec?
Jul 21, 2011 at 10:52 UTC
i know how much taps can hold and the limtites of both types and other types of media with SANS RAID and hard drive backup soutions i just seeking what other people think about this. where i work we ues tapes both 8mm and 4mm. and they do just fine for our setup.
what i should of put is what do you do on your own network for backup setups
Jul 21, 2011 at 11:21 UTC
Well I have 2 setups to manage, the data that is stored in our offices (2 locations 20 miles apart) and then data that is stored in our 2 co-location data centres on different sides of Manchester.
Between the offices I plan to use DFS to sync our main file server between the offices, so there are 2 copies in seperate locations and then take another copy home with me on a tape, giving me both redundant and off site backups. That will happen once I have a fibre link between the offices and can sync the data, just using the tapes at the mo.
For the data centres we have considerably more data and we can't get it to mirror over night, there's too much of it. Each site hosts different websites so the data is different between the sites. For that we use a couple of Qnap NASs with 8 drives giving 12TB of space each. Each night the servers back up to the local Qnap and then every Friday I drive out to the DCs and just swap the drives out, literally drive across Manchester and physically swap them. The worse case scenario here is that one of the DCs gets hit by a bomb on a Thursday and we have to restore the data in that DC back to the backup that was moved across the city the previous Friday, losing 6 days worth of data and orders. A bit much for my liking but a damn sight better than losing everything.
Gotta love Fridays, basically a day of going out for a nice slow cruise, even getting stuck in traffic doesn't bother me as I'm getting paid to sit in traffic lol :D

The only person I know who bought one of those bluray backup devices felt like he got scammed a few months later after realizing how stupid it was compared to every other option out there.
Dont really understand what the question is.. there really is no advantage to blurays over tape except maybe you can stack them easier? They hold less data, probably write slower, I doubt you can write over them anywhere near as many times as you can a tape and they are way more likely to get damaged ( a simple scratch and your data is gone..).
The most common setups are going to be disk-disk-tape or disk-disk-cloud. The people fortunate enough to have $ and a second location will ideally set up WAN replication to their second location and essentially own/manage their own private cloud so their data is protected off site and still spinning on disk.
Jul 21, 2011 at 5:17 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I don't think Blu-Rays will ever replace tapes, they can't hold anywhere near as much data as tapes can, the tape drive I've just bought is an LTO-4 and allows up to 1.6TB of data when compressed, more than 10x the BDXL spec?
"When compressed" is a silly gauge. That means 800GB. BluRay will hold 250GB soon so that LTO4 is only 3x the capacity - but it is much larger physically. Since BD will be 500GB "when compressed".
Now, BD are write once, not write over and over like tape. But they also are vastly more reliable. And way, way cheaper.
I could see BD making some serious inroads in some places.
Jul 21, 2011 at 5:24 UTC
Yea but how much does 1 BD cost? They have to be ~5$ a pop and they are 1 shot.. for archive that could be more affordable than tape but not regular backup where the 40$ tape is used for a year.

When you have things like 7 year retention policies tapes don't get reused all that much anyway. BD could play well for those needing to really archive.
For those looking for shorter term backups, it seems like disk becomes the real competition there.
BDs aren't quite there yet. But could be relatively soon.
Jul 21, 2011 at 7:04 UTC
So that brings us back to the Hard Drive. A Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200K Drive is only $45.00. Holds many days or weeks of backup. When its full put it aside like you would a tape cartridge.
Data searches for recovery is much faster and if you need o recover a 70GB SQL Database its way faster.
If you get an 8 Bay NAS Box and do not run it in RAID but rather as 8 Independant Drives, you can have dedicated drives for MON to SUN backups and the 8th drive for Month End backups or buy some extra cages and use the 8th bay for a second backup that also runs every night and use it as a removable bay for off-site.
Note re Web/Cloud based B/U. Its great if you have a lot of small files that change or get created, but not so good for large DB apps. You either need to copy say 50+GB files over one wire every night which is VERY slow and gets very costly because of all the data that gets transferred. Or, you need to create a replication SQL Server that moves the transactions over the Web/Cloud and that gets way more expensive.
I know a company that had a brain dead idea to do Internet Based Backup to another location. They sent a full copy to the host site and then only copied new or updated files. This included their very large SQL DB which the system saw as an updated file every night. Their ISP provider sent them a $17,000 bill at the end of the first month. They stopped the process and settled with the ISP to pay $5000. Also, their systems also ran much slower because the backup was never finished before noon.
Want to save money and headaches, look at hard drives. Also, look at Acronis for full system backups/images including backups of virtual servers. Need to be on the cheap? Look at Backup4All.
Actually, Backup4All works great as a second backup system in any office since lord knows that using BackupExec to backup to tape is not very reliable.

For archiving BD drives are great. LTO's are just too costly for Small Business.
For regular backups disk and cloud, be it private or not, works great…

Porsche Panamera Diesel To Make Frankfurt Auto Show Debut
If you can afford a Porsche Panamera, fuel prices are probably don't weigh on your mind much. But that's not stopping Porsche from introducing a vehicle that can go 750 miles on one 21 gallon fuel tank.
The Porsche Panamera diesel is capable of 37 mpg (on the highway, we assume) when equipped with low-rolling resistance tires. Granted, those two are the antithesis of what the Porsche brand used to stand for, but our current times require us to sacrifice a pound of flesh to the secular cult of environmentalism – luckily for the rest of us, there's the GT3 RS 4.0.
With a 3.0L V6 making 250 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, the Panamera uses an 8-speed automatic to put power to the ground. Porsche will unveil their newest oil burner at the 2011 Frankfurt Autoshow and AutoGuide will be on hand to cover it live starting September 13th.

Today, I decided to share a Christmas card. I was inspired by a card I saw on YouTube. I did do a couple of things different.
For those of you who know me, then you will know that I represent the crater that has other products. I mostly use Stampn' Up these days, but there are a couple of companies I like to refer to every once in a while.
Stampin Royal Tips
1. To create the background, I used a cloud edgelit (another company) to create a snowy hill mask. I started with Soft Sky ink to start shading in my sky. I used the Marina Mist ink to shade in the dark blue portion of the sky.
2. Stamped trees in the background in Marina Mist. Used the generational stamping technique for the trees in the background.
3. Stamp the grass using Versamark ink and emboss with white embossing powder.
4. Using the Beautiful Branches framelits, cut the tree out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. Adhere to card.
5. Using the Tin of Tags stamp set, stamp with sentiment with Marina Mist ink.
6. Using the Fine Tip Glue Pen, place a thin layer of glue to the embossed grass and along the border of the white snow. Add dazzling diamond glitter for some added sparkle.
Thanks for joining me!

Black Label, Blue Steel
Posting the Grolsch ad reminded me of another beer commercial. Reviving this one this week is very appropriate as it's the 70th anniversary of the "Dambusters" raid.
Of course for British viewers it's full of self-deprecation in that back in the 1980s the England football team seemed to be forever losing to Germany in penalty shootouts.
When I was fifteen I went on an Air Training Corps camp to RAF Scampton, which was the base of 617 Squadron (aka the Dambusters). At the time they were flying Avro Vulcans like this, armed with what we would now describe as cruise missiles (with nuclear warheads, of course - or as the airmen called them, "buckets of sunshine"). Just like the one flying over Niagara Falls in this picture.

Chewy Granola Bars
Recipe by Manda
I "borrowed" this recipe from the kitchen at my college because I fell in love with these bars. They are so much better than store-bought, and you can add or subtract ingredients as you wish. They make a perfect on-the-go snack; a much healthier alternative to chips or cookies, especially for kids (Great for lunch boxes!)
Top Review by Narshmellow
This is a most excellent recipe. My family said they were better than any granola bar from a store! Very easy to make. You could do it with your kids if you have some. Note: I cut the sugar to 1 cup and used organic, I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, used only half the chocolate chips and replaced the other half with coconut. Nevertheless! Chewy, moist, and flavorful and very sweet! A big must if you're looking for that granola bar! Thanks!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/3/2014 (1252 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You're going to hit a pothole. The only variables are when and how hard.
So what is a conscientious driver, who loves an intact front suspension, to do?
With Winnipeg in the midst of the freeze-thaw cycle, city officials say many more potholes are expected to emerge. The city has had about 460 pothole complaints so far this calendar year.
"It's a nightmare," said driving instructor Richard Mutungi, the owner of Winncity Driving School. "Just today, I was on Pembina Highway teaching somebody, there are potholes in three lanes. I had to tell somebody, 'Slow down. You can't weave side to side because there might be a vehicle on the left lane or the right lane.' The best thing is to slow down. The golden rule of driving is you drive the speed to the condition of the road."
Mutungi said changing lanes to try to avoid a pothole is not recommended because other vehicles may be there.
"That's what is causing accidents. Suddenly, somebody sees a pothole, instead of braking to slow down and check (if the next lane is clear), they swing to one side and there's a vehicle there," Mutungi said, noting drivers usually need to drive through the pothole because there's nowhere else to safely go.
"Just apply the brakes as much as you can to reduce the impact of the pothole on your vehicle and try to stay steady. If you slow down, the impact of the damage is less."
Miguel Del Monte, manager of the Speedy Automotive Centre on McPhillips Street, said his customers are bringing in vehicles with front-end damage from potholes.
"A lot of ball joints, struts, wheel bearings, springs breaking because of the potholes when you hit them hard," he said. "The most common problems are with the front ends because when you hit these things, even when you avoid one or two, you're going to end up hitting the third one. There's nothing you can do about it and sometimes accidents happen too, when you try to avoid the potholes."
A Manitoba Public Insurance spokesman said MPI opens about 1,000 pothole claims per year, most of which are received in the spring. Customers pay the deductible and MPI pays the rest of the costs of repairing the vehicle.
Harold Tabin, who owns A Confidence Driving School, said drivers can minimize problems by staying in their own lanes. "Just slow down and go through (the pothole) because swerving just means you're going to create another problem altogether," said Tabin. "I'm on the road all day, so there seems to be a lot more. I've seen some huge craters. It wouldn't surprise me if we discover later on that we're going to have some sinkholes."
Tabin said one car in his fleet, a 2005 Toyota Camry, has already had its front-end suspension replaced.
Terry Omelan, owner of the Graduate Driving School, said the potholes are the worst that he's seen in the 13 years he's owned his business.
"I think the city is probably overwhelmed, trying to catch up with them," Omelan said. "If you are on a road that has one, there's probably more up the road."
Jim Berezowsky, the City of Winnipeg's street maintenance manager, told the Free Press this week this pothole season is expected to last well into the spring and that "this will be one of the worst springs."

"An update to my story"
About: Astley Ainslie Hospital Astley Ainslie Hospital Edinburgh EH9 2HL Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Accident & Emergency Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France Accident & Emergency EH16 4SA Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Trauma and Orthopaedics Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France Trauma and Orthopaedics EH16 4SA Scottish Ambulance Service Scottish Ambulance Service EH12 9EB Western General Hospital (Edinburgh) Western General Hospital (Edinburgh) Edinburgh EH4 2XU
Posted by Luckybiker (as ),
My injuries were severe - ruptured arteries (needed 30 units of blood); broken fibia, tibia, femur, pelvis, vertebrae; de-gloved muscles, nerves, ligaments and tendons on right leg. It is no exaggeration to say that without a speedy ambulance arrival, I would have died at the scene (I did die at some point and had to be resuscitated). The police report stated that my leg had been severed, and again, the fast response was important in me keeping both my legs.
- that's not the full story either, because I was subsequently received by Accident & Emergency at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, transferred to a ventilator in Intensive Care for 5 days, and spent another 2 weeks there, with a succession of 12 operations by Vascular and Orthopaedic surgeons.
- after transfer to a ward (208), I was nursed back from the brink by really caring and capable nursing staff, while under the possibility of amputation. The orthopaedic surgeon (Mr Keenan) had pinned and nailed my fibia, knee, femur and pelvis - and was an excellent communicator, keeping me fully informed, contrary to what patients often say about surgeons! I was a further 6 weeks on the ward, was diagnosed with a pulmonary DVT, and lost 50 pounds in weight.
- during that time, I had X-ray and MRI scans, and was visited by physiotherapists, dieticians and orthotics staff, all of whom were excellent. But I must single out the physios, whose commitment, expertise and humanity I cannot praise highly enough. Their work continued with domiciliary physio when I got home, then physio sessions at the Western General, where I arrived on crutches and walked out without them after more than a year's treatment, including hydrotherapy.
- after discharge, I visited the SMART centre at Astley Ainsley hospital, who were most helpful in assessing my ability to drive, and advising me on options for vehicle modifications so that I could get back to driving, which I have successfully done.
- I applied for, and was granted (for 8 months) a Blue Badge from Edinburgh Council.
When I look back on the last 18 months, and see myself dying at the roadside, then look at the progress I have been able to make, I am eternally grateful to all who helped me get here - it couldn't have happened without the professionalism at each stage, and the coordination between all the different services.
Response from Stuart Wilson, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, NHS Lothian 4 years ago
This is an incredible story and I am pleased to hear you are recovering.
Thank you most sincerely for your kind words which I have passed on to the teams concerned. As you rightly say a serious incident of this nature involves a lot of people working together to the benefit of the patient and it is nice to hear a story where that has been recognised.
I wish you all the best on your ongoing recovery.

A new radiation scheme has been developed for dynamic general-circulation modeling. An automatic determination of k-distribution parameters and a treatment of solar–terrestrial radiation interacting with gaseous and particulate matter are incorporated into the scheme by a technique that combines discrete ordinate and matrix operator methods. An accelerated scheme for cloud overlap is developed and tested.

Bloodless Torture
Lian sat in the mess hall eating her dinner. As she sat there she used her bending to stir her soup Gao came over and said.
"How's it going Master?" Even though he hasn't been her apprentice for about 4 years he still referred to her as such, although now the phrase just dripped in sarcasm. Normally Lian wouldn't take Gao's bait but she needed to blow off some steam.
"I'm more bored than I 've ever been in my life Gao." Lian said slamming her hand against the table. "And that's saying something. It's been too damn long since I've been out fighting. If I don't get any action soon I'm going to turn into you!"
"You mean devilishly handsome with an ugly ass demon living in his head." Gao said before he got into another argument with his "imaginary friend" Butcher. Lian was very close to punching Gao as hard as she could in the face and then repeatedly slamming his face into the table before someone called her name.
"Lian could you give us a hand with something?" the voice came from the Torture Masters new apprentice.
"What?" Lian said trying to keep her fist from trembling. The new recruit explained how they'd captured enemy soldiers but was having a hard time properly interrogating them. Because Des did most if not all the interrogations in the base the Torture Master got sloppy.
As she walked into the interrogation chamber she saw a man chained to a chair and three dead bodies.
"They wouldn't talk?" she asked the torture master.
"No, they died before we could extract any information. We were just about to begin with him." Lian glanced at the chained man as the torture master continued. "We just can't inflict the right amount of damage like Des can
"Let me try." Lian said drawing a dagger and moving to the chained soldier. "What's your name?" The man said nothing and glared at her. Without a word Lian slashed her dagger across the man's chest. Pain shot through the man but no blood emerged from the wound. Confused the soldier and torture master both looked at Lian, who had an emotionless expression. She asked again. The soldier still refused to answer and Lian cut him again this time across his face. Still no blood Lian decided to ask a different question. "Do you know who I am?" she asked. The soldier nodded. "Do you know what I can do?" He nodded again. "Do you know what I can do during a full moon like tonight?" The soldier shook his head. "I can pull out all of you blood through your sweat glands. I've only done so once but I can assure it is a very, very painful way to go." While she explained blood started to emerge from the soldiers skin, confirming her abilities. As the soldier screamed out in either horror or pain, Lian could never tell, she bent the blood back into his body. "Now I'm going to ask you again, what is your name?" This time the soldier answered all of her questions, telling her the location of various camps, and other information, all of which they already had thanks to their contact.
After the soldier had given her all the information she turned to the Torture Master. "You wasted my time for something we already had?" she asked.
"I thought they might have had some new information." he tried to explain, "If the others had talked..."
"You wouldn't have had waste my time?" Lian guessed, "If you hadn't let Des do all the interrogations and kept your skills sharp you wouldn't have had to waste my time!"
"I'm sorry Lian it won't happen again." The Torture Master said. Suddenly blood began to leak out of the man's skin. He screamed as the blood continued to flow, from his skin, from eyes, ears, from everywhere.
"No it won't." Lian confirmed as the man dropped to the ground dead. She turned to the apprentice, "You would do well not to let your skills drop," she warned as she left.
Rocky Rose
"Man, why do I have meet Ursa out here?" Toph complained to herself, "I had to be the only one not on an assignment." As she walked her thoughts turned to her fight with that assassin a few days ago. Over the last ten years she'd fought plenty of assassins but for some reason this one seemed different. Maybe it was due to the fact he spent more time flirting than fighting.
Even though she had absolutely no idea what she actually looked liked, she knew she was fairly pretty due to the number of people who tried to flirt with her regularly, but she was always able to "see" through their words and find what they were really after. But with this guy it was different, and thanks to the fact she was a human lie detector she knew he wasn't just trying to get into her head. Every word he said was sincere. He was certainly no Azula when it came to lying, she figured that out when he said that no one had ever figured out his soldiers before. That lie was blatantly obvious to her.
"What was his name again?" she mumbled as she stopped walking. Around her she could feel a rather large rock formation in the shape of a badger mole. She was supposed to meet Ursa right around here. As she waited she heard a strange sound from above. It sounded like someone screaming.
"Look out below!" The voice yelled as its source crashed into the ground, creating a rather large crater. "I'm okay." The person groaned as he climbed out. Toph knew it was the same assassin she had just been thinking about.
"I meant to do that." He said as he started to shake the dirt out of his hair. Toph was surprised to see that he actually did mean to do that. "Oh hey it's you, Toph right?" the assassin asked when he finished
"Yeah. Who are you again?" Toph asked.
"Lee Chun, at your service." Lee said with an exaggerated bow. "How may I be of assistance?"
"You can get out of here!" Toph yelled as she kicked the ground sending three rock pillars shooting out of the ground at Lee's chest. Lee smiled as he jumped in the air and pushed off them, allowing him to flip in the air. While he was air born he pulled a large tower up and landed perfectly in the middle.
"Why don't you get up here and make me?" Lee taunted from his elevated position. Without a word Toph launched herself up towards Lee. Lee laughed as he made the tower taller, forcing Toph to grab onto the side. With surprising speed Toph began to climb the tower. Lee stomped a few times, causing small spikes shoot out of the surface of the tower, but they were always just a little bit above Toph.
"Is he trying to stop me or help me?" Toph asked herself as she used the spikes as handholds. When she reached the top Lee stood there calmly.
"Well you got up here pretty..." Toph cut him off by sliding her foot forward, sending a good-sized plate of earth shooting out of the ground at Lee. The assassin back flipped over the attack and landed just on the edge of the extension.
"You fight more like an airbender than an earthbender." Toph remarked with the slightest hint of a smile. "Maybe I should call him Twinkle Toes instead of Aang."
"Funny, my master says the same thing." Lee said as he attacked Toph in the same way she did. The two continued to bend slab after slab of earth at each other. Lee would always do some elaborate maneuver to avoid Toph's, and Toph would either just utterly destroy Lee's or stop them in their tracks.
"Why don't you use those earth soldiers of yours?" Toph asked as she grabbed Lee's latest attack.
"No point when you already know how to beat them." Lee answered as he stomped his foot, sending multiple spikes shooting out at Toph's feet. Toph jumped in the air to avoid having her feet skewered, but because she wasn't in contact with the ground she couldn't see Lee as he kicked up a rock then kick it directly at her. The rock caught her directly in the chest and knocked just far enough where she began to plummet down to the ground.
"Oops." Lee said as he dived after her. After falling about 40 feet Lee caught up to Toph and grabbed her wrist. After words he kicked his feet into the tower to stop their fall. "Got ya." Lee said as Toph reached out and grabbed onto the tower's side.
"Why did you save me?" Toph asked.
"Well it'd be a shame to let such a pretty face turn into nothing but a stain on the ground." Lee joked causing Toph to slightly blush. "Anyway you got a good hold on the tower?"
"Yeah." Toph answered.
"So I can let go?" Lee's answer was a stone pillar jutting out into his side, sending him flying off the tower, as Toph hit the tower with her free hand. Lee flew a good distance before he slammed onto the ground a slid about ten feet. "I probably deserved that." He groaned. By the time Toph had slid the rest of the way down, Ursa had finally arrived.
"Well he seems quite smitten by you." Ursa commented.
"What makes you say that?" Toph asked sarcastically.
"The giant rose the two of you made." Ursa said.
"What?" Toph asked as she noticed the shape of the "tower". It was indeed shaped like a giant rose. Toph blushed before she changed the subject. "So what news do you have?" Ursa just grinned.
Forgotten Father
Nikki stood with her mother Miku, outside of a local gang hideout. This particular gang had been harassing them for weeks now and Miku had decided it was time to deal with it.
"Why don't we just tell the authorities?" Nikki asked.
"Because they won't do anything." Miku answered, "Your father and I used to do this all the time back when we were dating."
"You and father fought gangs?" Nikki asked. "Is that why he left us?"
Miku swore under her breath, "Sort of." was her short reply. "Would you just forget about him? He's gone and he's not coming back." Nikki felt her words seemed to be forced. She wanted to press further, but there was no arguing with her mother.
"You ready?" Miku asked.
"Yeah." Nikki responded as they burst into the hideout. The two women used their firebending to put out the candles in the room. The people in the room panicked and attacked the two shadowed figures with their flimsy and cheap weapons. The mother and daughter expertly disarmed their attackers and delivered swift but debilitating blows to their enemies. Within a matter of minutes most of the gang members were running for their lives.
"Now will you tell me about father?" Nikki asked as she kicked a groaning man in the gut.
"I thought I told you to forget about him?" Miku said turning to her daughter, not noticing the gang member who had stayed hidden throughout the fight.
"Hard to forget a man you know virtually nothing about." Nikki countered. Nikki's father had left her and her mother when she was only six. Nikki barely remembered what he looked like.
"Look Nikki about your father. He..." Miku was stopped however by a concentrated blast of fire that struck her in the shoulder.
"Mom!" Nikki yelled as her mother dropped to the floor.
"How do you like that you bitch!" the gangster yelled. Nikki immediately recognized him.
"Tai!" she yelled as the young man shot another ball of fire at her. Nikki swatted the ball away and blasted Tai with a rage filled blast that completely engulfed him.
Minutes later Nikki and a group of doctors were rushing Miku into a hospital. "Don't leave me Mom! Don't leave me like Father did!" she cried as they entered, unaware of the eyes that had been watching the entire time.

Astronomers Debate Conflicting Answers for the Age of the Universe
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: December 27, 1994
PASADENA, Calif.— THE axis between polar extremes in one of the most critical and fervently contested battles in science today could be said to run along the second-floor corridor of the Carnegie Observatories building here on Santa Barbara Street, one of astronomy's intellectual addresses.
The dispute is over a seemingly simple number, the long-sought value for the Hubble constant, that would establish the expansion rate of the universe and enable cosmologists to calculate the billions of years that have elapsed since the beginning of space and time. Depending on the outcome, important theories may totter and require revision. But when reputable scientists doing excellent research find themselves getting dramatically different but defensible answers, no one can be sure who is right.
At one end of the Carnegie corridor is the office of Dr. Wendy L. Freedman, leader of an international team of astronomers that used the Hubble Space Telescope to get the most precise measurement yet of the distance between Earth and a far-off galaxy. From this they derived a high value for the Hubble constant and thus a relatively young age for the universe of between 8 billion and 12 billion years.
When the results were announced in October, Dr. Freedman and her team cautioned that it was premature to believe that the problem of determining the Hubble constant had been solved. "It has not," they asserted, noting that reliable distances to many more galaxies would be needed to confirm the high value. Still, with other scientists using different techniques and arriving at similar results, there is a growing impression that the battle may soon be won by the young-universe forces.
Down the corridor is the foremost defender of a low Hubble constant and so of a much more slowly expanding and older universe of perhaps 15 billion to 20 billion years. He is Dr. Allan R. Sandage, who learned his astronomy under the great Edwin P. Hubble, the orbiting telescope's namesake. Hubble was the astronomer who in 1929 discovered that the universe is expanding uniformly in all directions, thereby kicking off the search for the elusive number for that expansion rate.
Dr. Sandage has spent his career trying to clock the expansion, regularly getting a low number, and is by no means ready to concede defeat. Complaining of a kind of bandwagon effect favoring his opposition, he recently offered other astronomers some wry advice he had read in Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot," which was, he said, "Don't cross the river until you find the bridge."
Dr. Sandage pointed to what he said were subtle biases in the selection of targets for the recent distance measurements that could have tilted the results toward the higher values being reported for the Hubble constant. Early next year, he and Dr. David Branch, an astronomer at the University of Oklahoma, plan to report Hubble telescope observations of two exploding stars, or supernovas, of the type Dr. Sandage has relied on for his measurements giving the low values.
"We've seen nothing in these experiments that change our early results or our position," he said.
The spirited conflict over the age of the universe is only part of the ferment throughout astronomy, the welcomed consequence of major advances in ways of investigating the depths of the universe.
"We are in an extraordinarily exciting period for astronomy," said Dr. Vera C. Rubin, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution in Washington. "Any confusion we are experiencing is just because so much is being learned so fast."
New instruments in astronomy are usually designed to create new possibilities for discovery, whether because they see farther or exploit different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Hubble telescope, perched above the cloying atmosphere that for centuries has clouded humankind's view of the heavens, has made so many new discoveries in its first year of full operation that it is in danger of creating a revolution.
Since astronauts corrected its flawed optics a year ago, findings by the Hubble telescope in Earth's orbit have charged astronomy's atmosphere with surging excitement. Expectations among astronomers were never higher that they may at last be close to answering some truly cosmic questions about the origin, evolution and fate of the universe. A rush of spectacular pictures has both confirmed and confounded scientific thinking.
The telescope has provided the most definitive evidence yet for the existence at the core of a galaxy of a dense gravitational mass called a black hole. It photographed a dust cloud that could be giving birth to planets. It also took pictures of surprisingly mature galaxies from the time when the universe was only one-tenth its present age and discovered that there are apparently too few dim stars to account for much of the "missing mass" of the universe.
But one of the telescope's primary objectives was to find the value of the Hubble constant, one of the essential numbers required to explain so much about the universe -- its age, expansion rate and destiny, whether it will expand forever, reach some equilibrium or eventually collapse in what is called the Big Crunch. Progress is stalled for the moment, however, because of the conflicting distance measurements being produced by the Hubble telescope and other instruments.
As much as they want the matter resolved, scientists accept the disagreement as another example of science at work and count on a resolution in a few years, if not sooner.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There are very few stocks worthy of holding a permanent place in your long-term diversified portfolio. The Walt Disney Company (DIS) might be one of them.
For more than 60 years, Disney has been delivering quality entertainment in many different forms. While all their divisions deliver robust growth, the film and TV segment deliver the best aspects of all that is Disney, and that's due to two simple worlds:
Great storytelling.
People can have different opinions about movies. However, sometimes a movie just knocks it out of the park, and earns near-universal acclaim. That's usually because it tells a great story, and does so in a unique way.
Disney films have traditionally been very good and the company has shown great foresight by purchasing three purveyors of great storytelling: Pixar Studios, Marvel Studios, and LucasFilm.
Each studio has cultivated a corporate culture with a mission and a vision. They all have had management that was able to execute on their respective visions.
There is a braintrust at Pixar that has permitted it to deliver an almost-perfect record. Although movie reviews site RottenTomatoes.com isn't a definitive measure of quality, it is a pretty good one. With the exception of Cars 2, every Pixar film has over a 75% rating, with many at otherwordly 99% and 100% ratings (the number is the percentage of professional reviews about a film that are positive). While it is also true that its latest films haven't soared, they still deliver on the whole, and will likely continue to do so.

It's never too late in life to learn. I realized this in the last ten days or so during which I experienced so many hues of silence that I had not known in the remaining period minus the crucial 'enlightening' 10 days.
I admit and confess that I had called retribution on myself by my one inadvertent action. On May 30 when my son got married a thought came to my mind which I posted on Facebook wherein I said that I felt I had become a father again by bringing a daughter- in- law home.
This came naturally to me like 'leaves to a tree' as Shelly would have said.
What followed was also natural but I had not anticipated it. First came a 'threatening silence' from my own daughter, happily married for ten years. She did not say a word to me but her tone of conversation sort of conveyed it- so there is 'another daughter'. But she explained to so many others quite vocally why a daughter in law could never be a daughter.
Then there was a 'condescending silence' in my own house. How stupid and emotional can a man be and many an example was quoted to prove that this infatuation was temporary and in fact below the dignity of the status I had acquired. And this would very soon end in disaster as had happened with so and so.
But besides these interested parties or vested interests if I can say what surprised me was the 'sneering silence' of so many people I did not think mattered in my life till now and predictably from the female species. They were either suffering their marriage or suffocating in them but my comment brought out their sniggers in the open. 'Oho, aaha, just you wait for the veneer to fall off and you will repent your high and noble ideals."
The gender divide was wide open. While my comment drew applause from the male friends and even relatives who may not have entirely agreed but lauded my genuine expression. But for the female species it was a total No,No, Impossible even Blasphemy.
Thankfully a majority of them preferred to maintain a 'deafening silence', waiting for the inevitable retribution for my action that could befall me anytime.
It is these I am most scared of which reminded me of the famous lines "Itna sannata Kyon hai bhai" a la A K Hangal in Sholay.

Baby Elephants Orphaned By Wild Life Poaching
By: Angeline Ajit
What is the Problem?
The problem is that in Africa, many young elephant calves are being orphaned because their mother and other family members have been killed to serve the brutal ivory trade. The ivory trade is basically the illegal trade of ivory that comes from the tusks of elephants. For an elephant, family is all important; a calf's very existence depends upon its mother's milk for the first two years of life.
Here Are Some Fun Facts...
Nearly 100 elephants are killed each day by poachers looking for their tusks.
Back in 1900, there were an estimated 10 million elephants in the wild.
In 2014, wildlife charities estimate that there are roughly 500,000 elephants remaining
70 percent of the demand for ivory is centered in China.
Kenya alone has now lost more 85% of its elephant herd.
China has the largest market for ivory trade.
Since 2007, the illegal ivory trade has more than doubled.
What Countries Are Affected?
The main countries that are being affected are:
Kenya - This is because Kenya has the greatest amount of elephants being poached.
China - This is because 70% of the demand for ivory is centered in China. This effects China because the poachers are killing the elephants to sell and trade the ivory in their tusks. Especially in China, the worlds biggest ivory trade market.
What Are Some Organizations That Are Helping The Cause?
Some of the main organizations that are trying to help this cause are:
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - A lifetime dedicated to the protection and preservation of Africa's Wilderness and its denizens, particularly endangered species such as elephants and Black Rhino
Save The Elephants Organization
How Can We Help?
Here are some things you can do the help reduce the amount of poaching or elephants:
*Become informed about the issues involved in the elephant and ivory debate.
*Donate money to one of the organizations that help protect elephants from being poached.
*Spread the word and tell others about the problem.
*Do not buy products that contain ivory.
*Try not to go to circuses because, at circuses, elephants are usually being abused and treated wrongly.
*Support an permanent ivory ban.
*Foster a rescued baby elephant.
What Actions Are Being Taken To Prevent This Problem?
Some actions that are being taken include
Inspiring Stories:
Here Are A Few Inspiring Quotes...
"Protecting elephants is an important part of fighting climate change. Why? Because every day across Africa and Asia, elephants disperse billions of seeds, some of which will grow into the forests of tomorrow, sequestering and storing carbon, generating rainfall and stabilizing our climate. Save the elephants to save the forests to save the world!" -Ian Redmond
Elephants are a natural wonder of the world. We are proud and honoured to have these remarkable animals in our countries, but they are disappearing fast from many places and action is necessary. - Ibrahim Lankoande

That's already been done, as of HADOOP-928. FileSystem implementations now opt to use ChecksumFileSystem. The buffer size defaults to io.buffer.size, but applications may pass an explicit buffer size to the FileSystem. The FileSystem implementation is free to ignore that hint. Doug

You would have read so many rumors and leaks about the Samsung's new smartphone, the Galaxy S3. In case you are not sick with them, we have some more for you. Guess what? There were lot of rumors on the launch date and finally it is confirmed to launch on May 3. It is quite normal to have many regarding the features.
What we have for you now is regarding the outside. SGS3 is expected to have a 1080p Super AMOLED high definition screen, quad core Exynos processor and LTE support as per earlier reports. Now, it is claimed to have a partially ceramic casing with glass or metal accents on it. It is expected to come in multiple colors. It will have either blue with black or white option.
We already saw that it might have a physical home button and five row UI. It will not have the on screen buttons that will be present in the Android 4.0 ICS devices. Galaxy S3 will be the official handset of London Olympics 2012. This makes sense as the company has announced the launch on May 3 in London.
What do you think about these rumors? Will all these be true? What features you like the Samsung Galaxy S3 to have on board?

The Coffman huanted mansion
enter if you dare!!!!!!!!!
Do you still want to move here!!!
It it said that this mansion is the scariest one of them all. There are ghosts everywhere you look in the bedrooms in the kitchen, bathrooms and always in the living room.
NO one and I mean NO one goes near this mansion. On Halloween it sends its vampires and werewolf's out to terrorize the children and steal there candy and burn it. Now people live five miles away from the mansion and that's so that they cant hear the screams and they still are scared.
The glowing of that one window is from the witch and her evil doing, its said that shes trying to make her self young again. And ever night she goes and laughs throughout the night on her broomstick.
See what did I tell you now its demonic and hot!!!!! And thats not all that happens, its added with cinnamon. See how evil it is. Whats is really weird is like sometimes the witch has like strings attached to her when she flies, or a light is flashing around her like shes a hologram or something so yah.
The werewolves aren't entirely real but we can atleast say we caught one. And well what do you say do you want to come here and visit it is soooooo scary!!!!!!!!!

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Job - cutting back and trimming privet and conifer hedges that were, shall we say, a little out of control. We were very pleased with the whole process - from the initial visit to quote, the actual quote, the work done, and the cleaning up after the work had been completed. Michael and his team did a great job - they even worked for a while in the pouring rain. They gave advice about the hedges in our garden, and did a couple of extra jobs that weren't on the original list. Would highly recommend.

|Re: Apache 2.0 rant
|Fri, 19 May 2000 05:51:13 GMT
Ryan, Let me just say that what you and the others have done with APR and the 2.0 architecture in general is great. It's making the Apache 2.0 port to NetWare very smooth. Still, there are issues and will always be issues that need to be resolved. As long as we keep an open mind and suppress the egos we'll be successful in delivering a top notch product. Also let me reassure you that people will contribute their time to Apache 2.0. I'm planning on posting my port to NetWare within this month. Keep in mind that while I have been looking at your work daily I have also been making sure we at Novell will have the necessary infrastructure (such as pipes) on NetWare so Apache on NetWare will be functionally equivalent. It's just going to take some time. Relax, take a deep breath and keep up the good work. -Mike- >>> email@example.com 05/18/00 07:37AM >>> Please ignore this whole message if you want, this is a way for me to get some stuff off my chest. I have a feeling that if I don't say these things now, I will end up walking away from Apache. <RANT> For the last month or so, I have seen an increase in the number of messages complaining about how Apache 2.0 has been implemented. The funny thing is that all of those messages are from people who were very active in the 1.3 development, and very inactive in the 2.0 development. Different reasons have been given, "I've been to busy", "the code is too complex", "I didn't think 2.0 had a future". I have one question for all of those people: Where were you all two years ago when this project started? Now I'm going to tackle these issues one at a time. "I've been too busy" -- too bad, you were too busy doing other things, now take the time to learn the new system. You didn't help write the code, and instead of fixing it, you are complaining about it. That doesn't fly with me, I'm ignoring messages from these people from now on. "The code is too complex" -- That's right, this code is more complex than Apache 1.3. It is more complex because we aren't trying to support just Unix anymore. If we were trying to support just the platforms that 1.3 started with, 2.0 would look very much like 1.3, and in a year we would have the same unmaintainable code base, because new platforms are being added with #ifdefs. Sorry, this is the price we pay for trying to be everything to everybody. "I didn't think 2.0 had a future" -- You made a bad choice then. I started asking in January for alpha and beta releases, and people said they hadn't had time to look at the code. So, we waited and had our first alpha in March. If you still didn't think Apache 2.0 had a future, you weren't paying attention, and that's not my fault. Now, the other thing that I have noticed, is that people who have been working on 2.0 aren't having problems getting code written that is usable. This is not just me, nor is it people who have been working on the code consistently since the beginning of 2.0. Take a look at Jeff Trawick, he has come into the picture only in the last two or three months, and he commits a lot to 2.0. Or how about William Rowe? He hasn't been working on 2.0 since the beginning. Chuck Murcko started working on the proxy code for 2.0 in March, he's making good progress. Bill Stoddard is busy, but he still finds time to make commits occasionally. Bottom line, if you don't like the code, stop complaining and do something about it. Don't tell me the code is too complex for you to understand, if that's the case, rip it out and start it over. When you have something working, commit it. But I am sick and tired of hearing people bitch and moan because 2.0 doesn't look like 1.3. </RANT> _______________________________________________________________________________ Ryan Bloom email@example.com 406 29th St. San Francisco, CA 94131 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- $39 for a BYOB paint-your-own pottery class for two (a $90 value)

Cool Creations Pottery Studio & Cafe
All artwork starts with a blank canvas—or, in the case of Cool Creations Pottery Studio & Café, a blank vase, plate, or ceramic figurine.

Poppy Delevingne has been unveiled as the 18th face of the 2015 LOVE advent calendar.
So far the line-up has included videos from beauties like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski. On Friday (18Dec15) catwalk star Poppy shared her video-game-themed turn for the magazine.
"#LoveAdvent "When life gives you peaches"," she posted alongside the clip on Instagram.
In her short video, Poppy is wearing a black dominatrix-style outfit, consisting of a high-waisted pencil skirt, balcony bra and long gloves. She seductively sticks her tongue out as a robotic voice says 'welcome'. Images of a watermelon and a peach then flash up on the screen in between close-ups of the model's butt. At the end she fondles a whip and a banana flashes up.
Poppy, 29, also appeared in the 2014 calendar, this time in a sexy white swimsuit.
2015 has been a big year for Cara's older sister as she also partnered with footwear label Aquazzura. Her eight-piece collection launched earlier this month (Dec15), with Poppy and creative director Edgardo Osorio working very closely together.
"Each time a new collection is released, I become more attached to the Aquazzura aesthetic. I love wearing (Edgardo's) shoes, they always have a sense of humour to them," Poppy gushed to WWD.
Edgardo was just as complimentary about his new design partner, praising her flawless taste in clothes. "I've always admired Poppy and I love her style - a very English mix of kooky and chic," he said.
Prices start at $595 and go up to $1,450. The shoes are available at Net-a-porter.com; Colette in Paris; Level Shoe District in Dubai; Bergdorf Goodman; Saks Fifth Avenue and Matchesfashion.com and Aquazurra's website.

SANTIAGO, Feb 4 (Reuters) - A consortium led by France's Aeroports de Paris is the top bidder for a concession to run Santiago's international airport for the next 20 years and build a new terminal, as the Chilean capital seeks to become a hub for pan-Pacific traffic.
The Nueva Pudahuel consortium was selected as the preferred bidder among five competing groups on Wednesday, the Chilean Public Works Ministry said.
The consortium consists of Aeroports de Paris, which runs Paris' Charles de Gaulle, France's Vinci Airports , and Italy's Astaldi. The preferred bidder classification means its bid was the most competitive but the decision must still be revised by the government.
The bid offered 77.6 percent of revenues to the government and would see over $900 million investment in the first four years of the contract to build a new international terminal that will more than double passenger capacity, Astaldi said in a statement.
The consortium did not give details of likely future revenues or income from the concession, which is due to begin in October 2015.
The Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport opened in 1967 and has been run since 1997 by a consortium formed by Chilean, Spanish and Canadian companies.
It currently has a single terminal building divided into international and domestic, which over 16 million passengers passed through in 2014. That is about half the passenger traffic registered last year at South America's main hub, Sao Paulo's Guarulhos in Brazil.
But with traffic growing at around 10 percent a year, the Chilean government is keen to position Santiago as a Latin American entry point, in particular for growing cross-Pacific routes. The region's biggest airline is LATAM Airlines, headquartered in Santiago. (Reporting by Rosalba O'Brien; Editing by Tom Brown)
