Emergency services on standby for the Essex big storm
7:30am Saturday 26th October 2013 in Local News
PLANS are being put in place to deal with the disruption that could be caused by the predicted storms set to hit Essex.
Councils and the emergency services are on alert and will be in talks throughout the weekend if the storm develops.
Weather experts fear Essex could be hit by hurricane-force winds as strong as those which tore down trees and damaged buildings in 1987.
The Met Office issued an amber weather warning, four days ahead of the potential storm, which is expected to hit during the rush hour on Monday morning.
David Johnson, chief fire officer and chairman of the Essex Resilience Forum, said: "Although there is no firm information about how the predicted storm might impact the county, through the Essex Resilience Forum, all emergency services and other agencies, including county and local authorities, are working together to ensure plans – already in place – are ready to be implemented immediately if the need arises.
"Advice to the public will be issued through a multitude of channels including media, websites and social media.
"This is only a prediction at this stage and we would advise families in Essex to keep a close eye on the forecasts."
South Essex train operator c2c, which runs the line from Southend to London Fenchurch Street, is also making contingency plans.
A spokesman said: "If there is a risk of high winds, we may bring in speed restrictions in the fastest areas of the track, which could have an impact on service times. If the winds are extremely high and we see trees falling on the track or the overhead power lines, then we may not run any services.
"It all depends on what happens on the day.
"But we are ready and we will keep people informed if we do have to take any action."

The storm will arrive in the Brest Peninsular area after midnight tonight with gusts of 40 mph, hardly a hurricane, but maybe the fear is that as it moves east along the English Channel it could intensify.

German POWs on the American Homefront
Thousands of World War II prisoners ended up in mills, farm fields and even dining rooms across the United States
- By J. Malcolm Garcia
- Smithsonian.com, September 16, 2009, Subscribe
In the mid-1940s when Mel Luetchens was a boy on his family's Murdock, Nebraska, farm where he still lives, he sometimes hung out with his father's hired hands, "I looked forward to it," he said. "They played games with us and brought us candy and gum." The hearty young men who helped his father pick corn or put up hay or build livestock fences were German prisoners of war from a nearby camp. "They were the enemy, of course," says Luetchens, now 70 and a retired Methodist minister. "But at that age, you don't know enough to be afraid."
Since President Obama's vow to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp erupted into an entrenched debate about where to relocate the prisoners captured in the Afghanistan War, Luetchens has reflected on the "irony and parallel" of World War II POWs and Guantanamo inmates. Recently, the Senate overwhelmingly rejected providing funds to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba, saying that no community in America would want terrorism suspects in its backyard.
But in America's backyards and farm fields and even dining rooms is where many enemy prisoners landed nearly 70 years ago. As World War II raged, Allies, such as Great Britain, were running short of prison space to house POWs. From 1942 through 1945, more than 400,000 Axis prisoners were shipped to the United States and detained in camps in rural areas across the country. Some 500 POW facilities were built, mainly in the South and Southwest but also in the Great Plains and Midwest.
At the same time that the prison camps were filling up, farms and factories across America were struggling with acute labor shortages. The United States faced a dilemma. According to Geneva Convention protocols, POWs could be forced to work only if they were paid, but authorities were afraid of mass escapes that would endanger the American people. Eventually, they relented and put tens of thousands of enemy prisoners to work, assigning them to canneries and mills, to farms to harvest wheat or pick asparagus, and just about any other place they were needed and could work with minimum security.
About 12,000 POWs were held in camps in Nebraska. "They worked across the road from us, about 10 or 11 in 1943," recalled Kelly Holthus, 76, of York, Nebraska. "They stacked hay. Worked in the sugar beet fields. Did any chores. There was such a shortage of labor."
"A lot of them were stone masons," said Keith Buss, 78, who lives in Kansas and remembers four POWs arriving at his family's farm in 1943. "They built us a concrete garage. No level, just nail and string to line the building up. It's still up today."
Don Kerr, 86, delivered milk to a Kansas camp. "I talked to several of them," he said. "I thought they were very nice."
"At first there was a certain amount of apprehension," said Tom Buecker, the curator of the Fort Robinson Museum, a branch of the Nebraska Historical Society. "People thought of the POWs as Nazis. But half of the prisoners had no inclination to sympathize with the Nazi Party." Fewer than 10 percent were hard-core ideologues, he added.
Any such anxiety was short-lived at his house, if it existed at all, said Luetchens. His family was of German ancestry and his father spoke fluent German. "Having a chance to be shoulder-to-shoulder with [the prisoners], you got to know them," Luetchens said. "They were people like us."

My grandmother who passed away some years ago use to tell us stories of when she was a young woman living in west point Nebraska. One of our favorites stories were those of a WWII pow camp in her town. She told us how the area was populated mostly German immigrants and that up until the first world war the local schools, churches and even courthouse affairs were all conducted in German not English. She said that at some point (I don't remember if it was before or after the first world war) they had banned the use of German in public affairs such as these. Therefore her parents who were born before the first world war were fluent in German and use to speak it in front of her often growing up when they didnt want her to know what they were talking about. she however had never been taught German and had only learned a few swear words. When the POWs arrived at westg point she said she remembered seeing them though the camp fence from time to time. There was some German officer that would make the other POWs march up and down the fence line in formation. She use to shout the few insults she knew in German to them and watch the officer get very red in the face but never turn to look or respond back to her. She also spoke of what may be just local folklore with little basis in truth about a pow who had escaped and lived for several years hiding out in the area. The story goes that he would steal bread, pies left cooling in farm windows or clothes drying on lines from time to time but would always leave something in return. Either some trinket or some chore he had completed in secret for them. I wish I could find some way to learn more about the stories of this particular pow camp in west point Nebraska.

Many times as a young child, I listened to the stories of fathers speaking of imprisonment in Nazi prisons. I even listened to stories of American farmers speak of German soldiers captured and brought to the States. What I personally experienced as a young woman in 1959 was a German who volunteered to turn himself over to Americans rather than the Russians in 1945 as one of the rocket program scientists. I came to love and respect him as a gentle soul who had lived to see his entire family bombed in Dresden where they lived for many generations and he never saw any of them alive ever again. So he became valuable to the space program and became an old man. Yet he remained forever locked into the trauma of war. Our own men came back traumatized forever with nightmares of screaming fellow soldiers lying out in the fields being tortured by German soldiers prodding them with force and our boys could do nothing knowing the Germans were baiting them. They lived with that guilt most of their lives. War is indeed hell and many of our own boys from Vietnam were never even acknowledged by Americans and instead came home to insults which greeted them as they came off ships in wheel chairs, or carried off on stretchers. The thing those protesters forgot was, they were drafted. Not volunteered. And so they came back home to yet more trauma. Some never got over it. My brother didn't.

One aspect does not quite ring true: "By 1946, all prisoners had been returned to their home countries." The U.S. may have shipped all prisoners out of the U.S. but not necessarily to freedom. Many tens or hundreds of thousands were sent to the UK where they were used as forced labor in the agriculture and not released until 1948. The U.S. also sent 740 000 to forced labor in France, where many were killed while being forced to clear minefields. Others were used as forced labor in the coal-mines, some until 1949. Wikipedia has a brief summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labor_of_Germans_after_World_War_II

My grandad is German. He was born in a farm in what is now Poland and lived amongst the polish. He started school at the age of 7 and left at 14 to attend agricultural school. He speaks fluent polish also. At the age of 17 he had to join the army, his father and brother had already joined. My grandad was basically guarding trains and we have talked lots about his experience. He never knew anything about what was going on, he was captured in Cherboug and you will find many were hastily put together and many were labourers. He was taken to Liverpool England then shipped to Boston then Scotsbluff. I have a book sketched in pencil one side in english and the other german. It has an Indiana seal 'Prisoner of war camp, camp atterbury, John L Gammell, Colonel U.S army commanding. My grandad ended up in Comrie scotland where eventually he was free, but his aunt from germany told him not to go home as many were going missing, some in russia. He met my gran and they married. My grandads mother unbeknown to him was given 24 hrs by polish civilians, people they had lived with all their lives and a previous generation also, and left the family farm, and with a horse and cart took the rest of the sibblings and headed to Halle in Germany. They had not much else as everything was left. My grandad never saw his mum until 27 years later 1969 when the Berlin wall went up. My Grandad had been living in scotland up to that point. He is a great guy and talks very positively of his experience and he learned a lot, the sketch book I have reflects this. I think you will find many German POWs did not support the nazi idealogy.

Also comparing current POWs to German POWs is not fair. First off many of the German POWs that this article where just regular joes. They where grunts who got caught and where happy they weren't getting shot at any more. Most Germans from this era that I spoke to didn't believe in the Nazi belief. This is evident even among German high command. My Great Grandmother who is German said she never believed in Hitler, and thought that the killing of Jews was senseless. When you ask why she didn't do anything about it she said "because I had 9 kids to raise and the Nazis put food on the table"

My family had 6 german POWs working on our farm in Neberaska. We had one POW who worked from us from approx 1943 to 1954 (yes 1954, after the war he hid out and the Army wasn't that concerned with tracking him down) During this time both during the war and post war he had developed a deep relationship with my Aunt? (my Grandpa's Sister) In 1954 he was finally deported in 1955 my Aunt flew to Germany and married him where they lived out the rest of their days. He passed in 93 I got to meet him although I was very young. I however do remember my Aunt who passed away in 2001. Their relationship was famous in the town, everyone knew the story and loved it. I remember he used to joke, he said "Had I known Americans would treat POWs with as much respect and dignity as they did. I would of joined the Army and in my first encounter with an America i'd of thrown my rifle down and raised my hands up"

As a kid growing up in Dearborn, Michigan, during the war, I think I remember my family driving by some German and some Italian POWs near Willow Run, west of Detroit. I think they were playing soccer in their shorts and without shirts. My Father wanted my brother and me to know that the Italians were not bad guys, but he said the real enemies were the Germans. I remember looking at the two groups and not being able to see any difference. I also have a vague memory of our driving near Leamington, over in Canada, and seeing POWs picking tomatoes out in big tomato fields. A neighbor two doors north of where we lived on North Waverly went down in Europe in a B-17. He was taken prisoner, sent to a camp in eastern Germany, and forced to march westward as the Soviet army approached. He received some very rough treatment on that march near the end of the war, but he survived the war and I never heard him speak badly of his German captors. The young man in the house just to the north of us also served in the European Theater, and I can recall some of the German "souvenirs" he brought home at the end of the war, including a pistol, a few badges or insignia, and two-lens, large "flak finder," one that stood on a tripod and that we kids enjoyed looking using to read small inscriptions on a Charles A Lindbergh school over a half a block away.

I had another Uncle who is an American who was at a pow camp in Florida. He said the German pow could get anything just about it in their PX's. He said he would talk to a pow and get him to get him hosery for his girlfriends because you couldn't buy them on the open market. He said of one incident a guard had a thompson MG and opened up on a prisoner and cut him in half. He was then courtmartialed and then charged for the cost of the bullets. But this was not a german pow but was an American soldier.

My Uncle Hugo had first talked about his experience as a pow after I had returned from Viet Nam and went to Germany on vacacation. He said he surrender with 15,000 other Germans at the Battle of The Bulge. He was I believe in with the Panzas. He said first he was in Colorado and worked in the fields. He said that they would let them go to town on weekends. He said then he was sent to ElPaso, Texas. He said everyone seemed to be real nice to them. He said they always smiled and spoke, but he said that they may have cussed them out while they smiled they wouldn't known. They had PX privilages and were abel to buy cigareets and about anything else including hosery. He didn't smoke so he sold his cigareets and when he returned back to Germany he was able to buy property and build a house. When the war was finally over he said people would spit at them and throw rocks.

When I was living in Australia, I found an autobiography in the local library written by a German WWII tank driver who was taken POW by the US. It was a fascinating read. Because he could speak excellent English, he found himself working in the admin offices of the POW camps. In his book he tells many amazing stories of events that happened while he was a POW. But you can tell that the really enjoyed his time here and really respected his treatment. He wasn't a Nazi. Just an 18 year old kid who was drafted in to the war. He ended up at a POW camp in the UK for many years after WWII, and married a local English woman and spent the rest of his life in England. He says he wrote to book to explain his experiences to his grandchildren. I really, really have tried to find the title of his book. I'm so sorry I can't find it. It was published in the UK and doubt he sold more than 5 copies. I read it in 2002. My favorite bits are the stories from his time at a POW camp near Phoenix. He and another POW were transferred to a camp in San Bernardino, CA. The army assigned two MP's in two jeeps to transport them there, about an 8 hour drive across the desert. As soon as they left base, the two MPs stopped and told the two POW's to drive one jeep so that the two MP's could chat on the long drive. The POWs were told told to follow the MP jeep. It wasn't long before the POWs got lost, never to find their MP's again. So they drove on to San Bernardino on what is now Interstate 10. When he crossed the Colorado River into California, he encountered the agriculture stop where Calif. officers check for prohibited fruit and veg. He panicked, thinking it was a security check. Two German POW's, driving alone in a US Army jeep in WWII across the Southwest US would not look good. But, they just asked him if he had any fruit and waived him on. He eventually found his way to the base, late a night, and their MP's were already there, fed, and bed.

My Grandfather who spent his whole life in the southwestern corner of Minnesota told me about his work during WWII. As a civilian, he was in charge of transporting German POW's to work as farm labor in the area farms. He told me that they never ever gave him any problems. He said the reason was that the German officer POWs kept all the enlisted POWs in line. He told me was very impressed with their discipline. I don't know where the camp was. Sorry. Probably near Marshall, MN.

I grew up in NW Indiana and met several Germans that were interned at a POW camp south of Chicago. The buildings were still there in the early 70's and were part of a Girl Scout camp. Think it was part of the Sweetwoods South park system. Believe the Germans said they were captured in Italy and were surprised by the generousity of thier captors. Said the gaurds allowed people to pass them sandwiches and fruit at railroad stops. They worked on area farms that were owned by folks of German and Dutch heritage who fed them like family along with home made beer. They were encouraged to stay in touch after the war, which they did. Many returned home only to find all of their families dead or missing and their towns utterly destroyed. They went to the US Army looking for work and were offered to become recruits in the US Occupational Army to serve as interprators working with the DP's trying to go home. Once their enlistment ended then they were eligible to immigrate to the USA. They did and returned to camp area where they were warmly welcomed back.

In the 1980s, p.m.s book bolobolo became an indispensable guide to new autonomous projects, a manual for applied utopiason a human scale, stressing cultural diversity, freedom of movement, ecological sustainability, and a relaxed attitude towards work themes which remain essential in his new novel, Akiba.
When a tiny detail on a coin disappears for a moment, Marco Vilini, a Swiss insurance-fraud investigator, enters a crisis of subjectivity, and the dull despair of civilized life in Zürich is countered by the neo-Gnostic philosophies of an urban eco-community called Akiba.
Seduced by the reasoning and logic of the community, and convinced of the virtual nature of all experience, Marco and his companion soon make a mortal leap out of this world, arriving in a meta-universe called Limboland. After a timeless exploration of this infinite paradise, they return to Earth with a renewed capacity to bring about utopia here and now.
Akiba combines the age-old schemes of millennial and modern utopias with recent research in ecology, quantum physics and computing, the mathematics of the Big Bang, Peak Oil theories, and the work of Roger Penrose, J. R. Searle, and others.

Fiedler-Toscanie Bow Tie |
Posted By: Robert Bolding |
Location: Memphis, AL United States |
Comments: The tie was better than expected. I loved the fact that I could tie it so that it was one solid color-green or red, or make it green on one side and red on the other, or make it red on the wings and green in the middle, or the opposite. It is actually several ties in one. I highly recommend it. |

Comments: This red & green tie is the 6th or so I've purchased from BTLoV, and it is as great as all the rest. It makes a particularly fitting Christmas-season accessory, though you can wear it at other times, too. It looks great, the fabric is very nice, it's a quality product all around, as usual. |

Spring 2008 Master of Architecture thesis reviews will be held at the School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation on April 22-24.
Download presentation schedule and details (PDF)
These diverse thesis projects culminate not only a year or more of research and analysis, creative thought and labor-intensive design work, but also many years of challenging academic study. The thesis is neither a final exam nor just another studio project. Rather, it is a unique opportunity -- perhaps a once-in-a-career opportunity -- for aspiring architects to explore ideas, sites and programs of their own choosing, and to undertake that exploration substantially on their own terms.
Prospective students, current students, and alumni are encouraged to visit the School anytime to see one or more reviews.

Eight years after discussions first began to re-open a mine 15 kilometres west of Kamloops, New Gold marked the grand opening of its New Afton Mine on Sunday with a TNT blast that sent a mushroom cloud high above the industrial site.
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., hundreds of workers and the general public roamed the grounds of New Afton Mine, which started production on June 28, 2012.
Visitors checked out dozens of trade booths, rescue demonstrations and clown acts and enjoyed free food provided by the Lions Club.
They also filled seating to capacity around a bandstand as representatives from New Afton, government and the Tk'emlups and Skeetchestn Indian Bands paid tribute to the project.
Much was said about the work it took between First Nations stakeholders and the company to come to a meeting of the minds.
Tk'emlups Chief Shane Gottfriedsen told the crowd that New Afton CEO Bob Gallagher was the fourth company head to come to the table, and he brought good ideas.
"I think we wore out three other CEOs from that company," laughed Gottfriedsen. "I'm proud we were tough negotiators."
Over its currently estimated 12-year mine life, New Afton is expected to produce an average of 85,000 ounces of gold and 75 million pounds of copper annually.
But for First Nations members it will pay dividends beyond its production life and for generations to come, said Shuswap elder Bernadette Dodson during a ceremonial prayer.
"It makes me feel good to see so many children here," she said. "One day they'll say 'Yes, I was there on opening day.'"
The project will also pay off for the entire province, said Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake.
More than 400 people are currently employed at the New Afton Mine, 75 percent of which were hired locally, including more than 100 B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Association candidates.
Among those in the crowd was Kathy Moore, whose 29-year-old son-in-law has worked at New Afton since November and was featured in a full page newspaper ad inviting locals to the party.
Chris Gamble had been a landscaper when a New Afton manager suggested he apply, said Moore.
Now he and his wife and their two little children are overjoyed with his new job, where he operates heavy equipment.
"He's already moved up the ladder and they've been very generous with raises," she said. "He absolutely loves the job."
Another worker checking out the grounds dressed in his work duds said he's been at the mine for a week and is amazed at how well they're are treated.
"The benefits plan is surreal," said Greg Pigeon, a 38-year-old father of three from Savona.
Pigeon had been in forestry for 18 years but decided to try something new when the industry's downturn made him nervous.
"It's good we can be so close to home and raise our kids rather than having to be in a camp," he said. "I know some guys who never saw their kids grow up."
Vancouver geologist Catherine Banfield has been at the project for about a week helping to assess a potential for diamonds.
She said as a woman, she's experienced all kinds of "old school thinking" on mining operations, but the attitude depends on the project.
From what she's seen so far, she said, New Afton workers "seem quite happy to be here."
In terms of environmental impact, Lake who retained the Ministry of Environment portfolio after last week's cabinet shuffle, said the mine has been recognized for its sustainable practices.
New Gold is the winner of the 2011 Mining and Sustainability Award.
The award, which recognizes the New Afton project, is a joint initiative of the Mining Association of British Columbia and the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas, and recognizes companies, communities, First Nations, non-governmental organizations, government agencies and individuals committed to advancing sustainable development in the B.C. mining sector.
One of the innovative practices is that the soil is being saved after removal for the land's rehabilitation, said Lake, and plans are to return the site to grazing land.
"In fact the land here will be in better shape when this mine is finished than when it began."

Classic Car News
Classic off-roaders in Vegas
Image: JDM Factory, INC., 2012
The recent SEMA Show, held for those involved in the auto trade at a Las Vegas convention centre, was home to companies of all kinds, as well as plenty of classic cars.
Off-Road.com reports that one of the major displays was that of a number of vintage Willys Jeep examples, which showcased the diversity of the tasks which these classic vehicles had carried out over the years.
Amongst the most unusual Jeeps on show was a 1947 model, which had been built as a fire truck, complete with a full red paint job, a roof-mounted ladder and a built-in water pump.
There was also a 1943 Willys Jeep that, in spite of its age and various adventures, has only covered a little over 36,000 miles since it was first built.
Even a Jeep used by the British special forces, complete with mounted gun and lots of extra jerry cans strapped to the side, was at the event.
The Jeep remains a much loved American classic that has bags of personality and a strong community supporting its preservation. Although the public were not able to access the SEMA Show, there are plenty of events across the country at which these vehicles can be viewed.

By Michael Futch Staff writer
The Kendall family is on the clock, just months removed from having to relocate from government-funded transitional housing off Old Wilmington Road.
Their two-year stay is reaching an end.
"We're prepared to move right now," said Melissa Kendall.
She said she and her husband, Travis, and their four at-home children have been approved for permanent housing in the nearby Oak Run Apartments off Campbell Avenue.
Change has come in other ways for this family, which has been classified as homeless for the past year and a half.
Melissa Kendall, who is 41, started working for Food Lion about six months ago. She also has earned her high school equivalency diploma since The Fayetteville Observer reported on the family in April. The story, "The New Face of Homelessness,'' focused on their son Tanner Kendall, a teen at Terry Sanford High School.
"It has been 22 years of beating myself up," said Melissa Kendall, who regretted that she had never finished high school.
"That's why I'm so onto my children to complete school," she said. "It's a prideful thing to say I graduated from high school on a job application."
Though the Kendalls are still trying to regain their foothold in life, she expresses hope of a brighter future. Melissa wants to study criminal justice. The fact that the family relies on her paychecks, along with food stamps and the occasional financial assistance from Travis' father, poses a problem that must be worked out.
The 43-year-old Travis remains unemployed.
As for Tanner, he's got a girlfriend.
And about a month ago, he started a personal blanket-and-coat drive for the homeless.
"Because I feel like some homeless people," he said, "are not getting the treatment they deserve."

BeyondRAID™ Technology Every Drobo product comes with the revolutionary BeyondRAID storage technology — the next generation of redundant disk protection. BeyondRAID will not only keep your data safe, but also will increase uptime and availability. BeyondRAID technology offers several improvements over traditional RAID-based storage systems, including the flexibility to replace failed disks, increase capacity and with a single click switch between single and dual disk redundancy all without costly downtime.
Key features of BeyondRAID include: Data protection against two simultaneous hard disk failures Instant capacity expansion without downtime Self-management Automatic healing
File System and Operating System Agnostic DroboPro and its underlying BeyondRAID technology currently support the Windows, Mac and Linux¹ platforms, with file system support for NTFS, HFS Plus, EXT3 and FAT32. Since DroboPro is a block level system, it easily adapts to almost any environment.
Mixed Drive Capacity Utilization Grow storage in line with data capacity needs with minimal effort. To add capacity, customers can simply insert a new hard disk or replace the smallest disk with a larger one, even when all eight disk bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology enables IT managers to efficiently mix n' match disk brands, capacities and speeds. This allows for continuous expansion as disk capacities grow. Now, expansion is automatic, instantaneous and access to data is always maintained.
To find out exactly how much free capacity you'll have with your choice of disk capacities, try out our interactive Capacity Calculator.
Redundantly Safe Utilizing dual disk redundancy, DroboPro's BeyondRAID technology can ensure your data is safe even if up to two disks fail simultaneously—all without a moment of downtime. You can even switch between single and dual disk redundancy with a click. You'll feel safer knowing that if disks do fail, DroboPro automatically enters a state of self-healing wherein it relays out your data across the remaining healthy disks and sectors.
Proportional Rebuild Times The time it takes DroboPro to rebuild data after a drive failure or removal is proportional to the amount of data stored in the pool—meaning the less capacity that is used, even on a 2TB disk, the shorter your rebuild times will be. This is superior to traditional RAID, which lacks proportional rebuild times, and is forced relay out every bit even if it does not contain user data.
Since DroboPro is "Data Aware", it tracks where data is on each disk, so it can differentiate between used and unused portions of disk. This expedites rebuild times and reduces your risk of losing data to an additional disk failure. In short, your data is safer on a Drobo.
Self-Healing When DroboPro detects a "bad" hard disk, it proactively advises you with a series of warnings ranging from a blinking red LED on its front panel, to pop-up alerts in Drobo Dashboard, to email alerts. What DroboPro does next is exceptional. Entering a self-healing mode where it repairs around the bad sector or disk, DroboPro will work until it returns to the safest state possible. If DroboPro has sufficient time and free capacity (indicated by all lights returning to a solid green state), it can even withstand additional hard disk failures — that's the power of self-healing.
Smart Volumes™ Create new volumes in seconds and manage up to 16 x 16TB volumes over time with ease. The innovative and timesaving Smart Volume management technology integrated into DroboPro allows volumes to pull storage from the common pool of disks rather than a specific physical disk allocation. The labor of resizing and migrating volumes is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent engineering. And increasing the available pool of storage on DroboPro is as simple adding or upsizing drives.
Storage Virtualization BeyondRAID was designed from the ground up to allow the storage capacity of the array to expand and contract. BeyondRAID makes this a simple process by utilizing a technology called "virtualization." Virtualization provides a layer of abstraction between the data requested by the file system and the physical location of that data on the disk drives. A given piece of data can be located on any drive, and on any physical location on that drive. This is what makes adding a drive to a Drobo so simple. The new drive just provides additional places to store data.
Virtualization is what enables BeyondRAID to effortlessly change the data arrangement on the drives, for example, changing data stored as a mirror into data stored as parity stripe, say, without interrupting the user access to data. Virtualization completely decouples the physical space available in the array from the space reported to the operating system. This is how BeyondRAID is able to remove the need to manually expand/contract the file system as more space becomes available or is removed.
Thin Provisioning Thin Provisioning is a technical term that describes how the BeyondRAID technology communicates with your operating system. BeyondRAID communicates with your OS about how much disk space you have, up to 16TB per volume (this varies with older operating and file systems). Specifying a larger amount of storage than is physically available allows you to grow into the volume without having to reformat or migrate your data in order to add capacity. BeyondRAID automatically also reclaims space as you delete files.
Self-Managing DroboPro is storage that manages itself. There are no complex configuration screens, DIP switches, confounding choices, web consoles or other complications that prevent so many other storage devices from working out of the box.
Drive Reordering One long-standing requirement inherent in traditional RAID-based systems was that if for some reason you needed to remove the drives, you'd have to replace the drives in the exact same order. When you remove your disks from DroboPro, you can put them back in any order you like.

It's the perfect place for casino gambling. It already has the cheesy name.
'Pleasure Island'.
It's just waiting on the Texas Legislature to make this dream of gaming revenues, tax money and jobs a reality. It's a panacea for washed up places like Port Arthur that have seen better days.
That's why Chairman Terry Doyle, of the Pleasure Island Commission, wants it.
"Casinos hire a lot of people, a lot of unskilled people. If Texas desperately needs anything, it's jobs for the unskilled."
Unskilled workers are as plentiful around here as…gators in the slow, muddy bayous. People that aren't fit for construction jobs. Probably couldn't dig a ditch either. That's what people are here say about them anyway.
Will it happen? Hell no!
Big dog State Senator Tommy Williams says it will not.
"Before this session, there was probably a shot at passing something like that through the Senate. I think with the new members that we have in the Senate, it's probably less likely than it was before. And I think it is very unlikely that either one of those proposals would get through the House."
So who are the "new members"?
Seems these religious conservatives have a moral objection to gambling the rest of the heathen population of the state doesn't necessarily share. Never mind that most of these "objectors" probably wouldn't miss those potentially enriching Powerball drawings. Or have state lotto tickets in their wallets and purses.
Even the Dallas Morning News, newspaper to the conservative stronghold of Texas, noted the hypocrisy of these self-called freedom loving Tea Party legislators. Legislators who are "more loyal to their socially conservative bases than free-market principles". They don't seem to mind government intervention and thwarting the will of the people when it suits their purposes.
Getting back to Alpha dog Senator Tommy Williams.
He says, "I don't have a big, huge moral objection to it, but I'm not sure it's for the benefit of the state".
Oh, come on Senator! Are you serious?
Even to keep us from having to pay an extra fifty bucks per vehicle to keep our crappy Texas highways "maintained".
Meanwhile Pleasure Island will probably fall into the intracoastal canal before casino gambling gets legalized in this state.
