Files in System32 and Winsxs folders not backing up
Hello everyone,
I have recently installed Backup Exec (BE) 2010 R3 on a server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64, we also have another server running BE 2010 R3. The older server is very old and slow and is there just as a spare in case of hardware failure, however, we did used to use it as our main backup server.
Since I started running backups on the new server I found that the backups are smaller than they were when compared to the old backups. I have investigated this and found that the bulk of the files that make up this difference are in the System32 and Winsxs folders. I have compared the amount of data backed up on the new backup job with the amount that was being backed up on the old server and it varies from server to server, but the difference between the backup sizes can be around 20gb.
In a way this is good as it is saving me time on my backups, but I am little concerned as to why BE is doing this, plus I am a little concerned that if it comes to doing a restore that I may not be able to do so properly. As far as I can see every single option on the backup job on the new installation is exactly the same as the old one, so I am not too sure why there is a difference!
Can anyone explain to me why BE is doing this, and also, is it a problem, should I be concerned about it?

Hi Richard,
What sort of compression are you getting during the backup of this new server? Is it more than you were getting when backing up the old server?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...could be different sizes due to drivers, patches installed, whatever else is contained in that folder etc. This folder is apparently expected to grow over time.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Hi, sorry, I should have said that the winsxs folder isn't backing up at all and some of the system 32 isn't backing up either. If I go to restore any winsxs folder the contents of it are blank, however, if I look at the old backup server there are items to restore within this folder. When I log on to the servers and look in the folder there are items on all of them.
...are those folders selected in the backup? Are you using Advanced Open File Option at all? Can you check and see if those folders haven't been excluded for whatever reason?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
As far as I can see all of the folders are selected, plus all folders within the folders that appear to be empty when backed up.
I have checked the global excludes list Edit> Manage Selection Lists> Excludes> Edit and there are only three items in there:
\\*\*\**\interchk.chk /subdir /exclude \\*\*\**\*.tmp /subdir /exclude and \\*\*\**\pagefile.sys /subdir /exclude

Amy LeJeune Harper
We can't tell you how excited we are to announce that Amy LeJeune Harper is has new work in the gallery. Her "abstract aerial landscapes" have been popular with our customers in the past, and you can see a natural evolution of this older work through these new paintings.
"I call this new series 'Essential Relations,' and in this body of work, I created a visual vocabulary to describe the complex nature of human relationships within the context of our increasingly chaotic world," says the artist.
One of the best parts of a gallery owner's job is watching the progression of an artist's work over time. While you can see traces of her old style, you can also clearly see where she's taken it to the next level. Her new paintings reveal a looser, more organic style. We love the layering and drawing withing the paintings and the flowing, almost feminine lines along with her excellent color choices.
Amy LeJeune Harper earned her BFA in painting from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Humanities from Central Michigan University. She is currently an art instructor at Central High School in Traverse City, Michigan where she lives with her husband and two sons.

Clent Hills winter walk
Romsley, WorcestershireRoute details and mapDownload as a print friendly PDF
Route overview
The Clent Hills have been enjoyed by winter ramblers from nearby Midlands towns and cities for over 200 years. This short walk is perfect for a winter family afternoon stroll and leads through woodland to the top of the hill where on a clear day the Welsh Black Mountains are visible on the horizon.
Route details
See this step-by-step route marked on a map
- Directions
- Route
- Bus stop
- Parking
- Toilet
- Viewpoint
Start: Nimmings Wood car park, grid ref: SO938807
Climb up a gentle zig-zag slope into the woodland from Nimmings café and information point. Turn right and follow an easy access path through the trees, with some fine views and resting points on the way. Donkey rides and grass-tobogganing were among the activities that thrilled visitors here in Victorian times but led to quite severe erosion of the Clent grassland. At the same time local farmers grazed their sheep and cattle less and less on the hills. All this meant that if the open landscape wasnt being churned into mud by tourists, it was being invaded by bracken and scrub. Today the National Trust is restoring acid heathland here. It is now a rare habitat throughout the UK, but a great environment for supporting birds like linnet; butterflies such as the small heath and small copper; and solitary bees.
Emerging from the woods you reach a sweeping panorama looking west towards Wenlock Edge and the Malvern Hills. Return to your start point via the all-ability path you came on or turn left and walk up to what appears to be some prehistoric standing stones... The views from here are some of the best in the Clent Hills. To the west is the Severn Valley and the Welsh border, while to the north is Birmingham and the Black Country.
Show/HideThe Four Stones
The Four Stones on the summit of Clent Hill may look ancient and mysterious, but they were actually created in the 18th century for Lord Lyttleton as a folly to be viewed from down in the valley by visitors.
Skirt to the left of the clump of trees behind the standing stones and enter through a gate into Horses Mane Woodland. Listen out for, or try to spot, birds like thrush, nuthatch, yellowhammer or perhaps even a greater-spotted woodpecker.
The colourful yellowhammer can be found in and around the woodland and scrubby hillsides here. They have an interesting high-pitched song which is said to sound a bit like a-little-bit-of-bread-and-no-cheese. As you walk through this area, youll pass lots of old beech pollards. These are 250-year-old trees which were cut just above head height so that they sprouted a mass of branches low down, providing food for livestock. Today, they are home to insects, beetles and nesting birds.
While taking care not to trip on exposed tree roots, look up through the woodland canopy and you may catch sight of buzzard circling above. Skirt left and return to the car park. Why not stop off at Nimmings Wood café for a hot drink and delicious home-made snack to warm you up after your winter walk?
Show/HideFir trees
It is thought that this clump of fir trees was most likely planted as part of Lord Lyttletons landscaping and building of follies in the area.
End: Nimmings Wood car park, grid ref: SO938807

I originally set out to find a tool that will take a string "b = [(w * h) / 3600] ^ (1/2)" and allow java to do a string substitution to throw values in there, and then throw it at a parser to evaluate the statement.
A friend told me to go find antlr, as that would be the best solution. I have to say I am new to this and it is getting a little more clear.
I found in the examples the exprAST to take the formula and print it out in RPN, at the same time putting it into a binary tree. The problem is that it doesn't support exponentiation, or calculation.
Then I saw the calc example, and it works great except it only does addition and multiplication. Before I go re-invent the wheel (i.e. learn how to make my own grammer file?) has someone accomplished the task of evaluating a string representation of a formula in Java yet? Or developed a grammer file to do it?
Thanks for your help, and any advice.

When I'm old, I'm going to have sagging, misshapen, ugly tattoos.
People love to remind me of this. A miserable buffalo, a rotten pear, a little king whose beautiful ermine coat needs ironing.
Typically, it's someone who doesn't know me well and with whom I've never shared any philosophy about aging, death or even body art, who tells me this.
Although I was only 18 years old when I got my first tattoo, I realized that eventually I would get old.
Jonathan Dowell's head bobs as he begins to play the Mountain Dulcimer. His fingers pluck and slide along the dulcimer that is a rich colored wood and decorated with pearlescent designs. From these hand movements a sweet sound dances out from the instruments' three strings.
Dowell has been playing the Mountain Dulcimer for 15 years and has played many dulcimers but this particular one is different.
Hobbies can be fun and relaxing, but they also at times can be expensive and not earth-friendly.

Thirty bucks may look like pocket change to some but it can actually create a significant change in someone's life.
For the past five years, Los Alamos High School teacher Allen Andraski invited Maureen Mahoney-Barraclough, director of Aid For Africa, have proven how far a small amount of money can go.
Every year Mahonney-Barraclough gives presentations about her experiences with families and orphans affected by HIV/AIDS in South Africa and Uganda to Andraski's World History classes at Los Alamos High School.
The magic of Halloween is something anyone at any age can experience. It's not just kids who get excited about it. Adults get in on the fun, too. For instance, the RE/MAX staff starts planning their Halloween decorations in July and Aspen Copies closes the store at noon on the day of Trick of Treat on MainStreet to transform into a haunted house.
James Cline, who co-owns Aspen Copies with his wife, said the whole staff and even volunteers prepare the business to spook youngsters beginning at 5 p.m.
Curious characters can be seen hanging around Central Avenue. They might be leaning up on lampposts or sitting on benches, wearing goofy grins and oddball get-ups.
These creatively designed scarecrows may not frighten away the crows, but they do effectively welcome in the Halloween festivities and celebrate locals' artistic sides.
The Los Alamos Arts Council kicked off the annual scarecrow contest Saturday and the figures will be on display through Nov. 1. Judges will evaluate the scarecrows this week.
The Guitars and Gateaux series' performers frequently describe the series as being something more than just a concert. They mention that a Guitars and Gateaux show features a relaxed, informal, friendly atmosphere and not only celebrates music but also decadent desserts.
Tito Rios of the duo Sol y Luna is one of the performers who recognizes this quality of the guitar concerts. He said there is a closeness that the performer and the audience share.
Suzanne Morgan Williams, author of "Bull Rider," her first novel for young adults will sign copies of her book from 6- 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Otowi Station Bookstore. Williams will also speak to classes at Los Alamos Middle School.
This week, we take a look at Asset #30, Responsibility and Asset #31, Risk Taking. According to the Search Institute, "Youth are more likely to grow up healthy when they take responsibility for their own actions (and) … believe it is important not to be sexually active or to use alcohol and drugs."
Ahh, responsibility is a big one and an interesting one, too. I think the definition of responsibility for each family is probably very different.
Christmas shopping in October? Absolutely! Saturday, the Art Center at Fuller Lodge will host a "gateway to the holidays" show with dozens of artists returning and many new artists joining the 32nd annual Fall Arts and Crafts Fair at the Los Alamos Middle School. If you are already planning to visit the Los Alamos Heart Council Health Fair for a flu shot, why not reward yourself with a trip to the middle school to explore the beautiful array of unique and artistically crafted goods arriving from across northern New Mexico?
Each year, millions of men, women and children are impacted by war and natural disasters. In these desperate circumstances, quick response is often the difference between life and death.
From 1985 to 2008, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has shipped 61,308 tons of food and 132,028 tons of other supplies to more than 150 countries.
In addition to providing materials, the Church also helps with funds and volunteers.
This is the time of the year when cherub faced salesmen come to the door peddling everything from nuts to wrapping paper in order to raise funds for a variety of projects.
The Chamisa Elementary School PTO has departed from the traditional catalog sales and taken on a new fundraiser to fill their piggy banks.
After attending a large concert for a children's hospital with her in-laws, PTO President Diana McPherson brought the idea of a concert to the PTO board and this week, it comes together in a large community gathering.
It's that time of year again. The leaves are turning and there is a chill in the air. Fall is here and so is the Fourth Annual Piñon Elementary School Pumpkin Patch.
The event will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the school, located at 90 Grand Canyon Drive in White Rock.
This year, not only will pumpkins and baked goods be sold, but there will be lots of fun activities for children. The PTO will provide face painting, craft projects, games and a bouncy house. Admission costs $1 per child.
There are a lot of rookies in the Los Alamos High School Marching Band, including the new band director, Zane Meek. However, their performance at two recent competitions, the Pageant of the Bands and the Zia Competition, proved that while they maybe newcomers, they definitely have talent.
Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk, the navigator for the Enola Gay, will be in Los Alamos Sunday for an appearance and book signing sponsored by the Los Alamos Historical Society. One of two surviving crewmembers of the Enola Gay, Van Kirk served as the navigator for the 509th Composite Group, the squadron that ultimately delivered the atomic bombs on Japan.
Tickets for the event are $5 and are available at the Los Alamos Historical Museum Shop, 1050 Bathtub Row, just north of Fuller Lodge.
It's amazing that the book, "Where the Wild Things Are" only needed a few sentences to become beloved by young readers for generations. It's not just the words that resonate with people – you see the story's illustrations everywhere – coffee cups, T-shirts, posters and stuffed animals. To make a movie after a book that every kid has read and memorized and that features illustrations that everyone recognizes seems tough. There is sure to be someone who will huff, "This is not as good as the book."
I've always been proud of my independence. I feel as though I can go anywhere by myself – a movie, a restaurant, another country – and be just fine.
I still relish the time in high school when I traveled to London with a school group proceeded to purchase a ticket to see an evening production of the musical, "Rent." I traveled to and from the theater all by myself.
Russ Gordon, organizer of the Los Alamos County Summer Concert Series, is putting on a show Friday although not in the usual settings.
Acoustic slide guitarist and banjo player Tony Furtado will perform at 8 p.m. at the Blue Window Bistro. Tickets for the concert cost $12.
Hearing Furtado live is well worth the money, which will help support next years' summer concert series.
The Rotary Club of Los Alamos recently honored Emma Catherine Carroll as the Student of the Month for September.
Emma is the daughter of David Carroll ('Topper Class of 1965) and Janice Carroll, an LAPS teacher. Her sister Anna Carroll is a sophomore at LAHS.
Most parents have had at least one altercation with a car seat.
Whether trying to rescue a child from an aggressive seat belt or working up a sweat trying to get the seat belt to buckle, car seats can be frustrating. And often in the end it is uncertain if the car seat was installed properly.
Parents put their children in car seats to protect them.
However, there are many styles of car seats and just as many types of vehicles in which to install them, often making installing a car seat a daunting experience.

The development team working on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 admits that the first-person shooter is experiencing some connectivity issues and is currently working to find the source of the problem and solve it.
Gamers have been reporting problems on various forums, mainly on the PlayStation 3 from Sony, but also on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PC.
An official Twitter message from Activision reads: "We are aware of connectivity issues that some players are facing in Black Ops II on PlayStation 3. We are working on resolution, thank you."
Connectivity problems are especially problematic for a game like Black Ops 2 because it relies so much on its multiplayer modes to succeed, which means that Treyarch is working extra hard to solve them.
The game is the latest in the biggest franchise for Activision and is expected to shatter yearly sales records in the video game world.

in two different forums. First, there will be a couple center-stage
presenters giving five minute demos for the entire crowd (aka "main
dishes") at 7pm. In addition, there will be a number of tables set up
at the periphery of the room for live informal demonstrations to
smaller groups during the schmoozing sessions (aka "side dishes"). Each
will help provide the community a glimpse of current local endeavors in
the space and offer the basis for further conversation.
Main Dishes
- Planet Cazmo (Pileated Pictures) - Michael E. Levine
- Thunder Thimble (thoughbot) - Chad Pytel
- BuySellAds - Todd Garland
Side Dishes
- Shareaholic - Jay Meattle
- Muzzylane - David Martz
- Localytics - Raj Aggarwal
- Fluent Mobile - Micah Adler
- Tor Project - Andrew Lewman
- CaptureCode - Tony Padam
If your angel-/self-funded startup is interested in presenting either as a main dish or side dish that evening, just reach out to me at david at webinnovatorsgroup dot com. Please include the name of your company/site/product, a brief overview and description, and a link to a live site or password-protected beta demo site. The sooner applications are submitted the better, but decisions will not be made until a month prior to the event.
If you plan to attend, please REGISTER ABOVE so that we are able to print name tags, appropriately size the venue, etc. Thank you.

U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield says the way to stimulate the economy is to spur job growth by eliminating government regulations that cause economic uncertainty.
He also told us why he thinks Texas Governor Rick Perry is the leading Republican candidate running for president.
Whitfield is chairman of a house energy subcommittee. So in an effort to help Republican House Speaker John Boehner cut $1.5 trillion from the federal budget, Whitfield suggests eliminating the Wind Power Program.
He says wind power is one of the most expensive ways to generate electricity, compared to coal or nuclear power.
Whitfield also says the Obama administration's health care program, over-regulation by the EPA, and stimulus package regulations are keeping the U.S. economy from recovering.

|Leave our teachers alone!
'Educate! … but first, we must educate the educators.' - Frederich Nietsche
'Teach your children according to the (changing) times they live in.' - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
My weekend was spent thinking about the shape of Malaysian education to come, particularly as we excitedly await the new Malaysian educational blueprint to go public. Will our children become great thinkers and good and tolerant Malaysians? Or will they become good labourers in the international labour system and continue to be more sophisticated racists?
This is how powerful education is as a contested terrain.
Having been an educator and a student of transcultural philosophies for almost two decades, I find the practice of educating constantly shifting whereas its core remains stable. After teaching more than 40 courses (in the field of education, politics, civilisation, arts and humanities, philosophy, language, international relations, American history and cultural studies) I am still learning what Malaysia is trying to do with her educational system. Today, I have a perspective to share with the minister of education and with dedicated Malaysian teachers.
I am fortunate to have practiced teaching in two different worlds – Malaysia and the United States.
My analysis of Malaysian education is that we seem to borrow too much without thinking, and like the late 1990s Smart Schools project, we seem to achieve many different types of successful failures in our educational reform effort. Teachers, the labour force in the world of knowledge capitalism, become subdued, silent, and silenced followers of the whims and fancies of state mandates. We love hype more than substance. We love intoxicating ourselves with buzzwords. We bully our teachers into working hard and not allowing them time to grow and become 'reflective teachers'.
What if we teach teachers to empower themselves by becoming good and creative curriculum designers? What if we give them a less teaching load, less students, less bureaucracy, less political preaching and less time to prepare for school visits by 'wakil rakyats' and 'Yang Berhormats' who do not have any sense of what the daily toil in a classroom is like? What if we stop wasting their time on non-teaching matters and let them grow as teachers? When teachers are free from these mental imprisonments, they can then become liberators of our children's imagination.
What if we try all these? Miracles can happen in our classrooms, I believe.
Curriculum planning
Over the weekend, I picked up an important book on curriculum and education, Conelly and Clandin's Teachers as Curriculum Planners. As I finished reading it, I asked this question: 'When will our teachers become masters of their own destiny, helping children become makers of their own history?'
Conelly and Clandin's book on curriculum planning provides perspectives which are not entirely new to teachers involved in Whole Language approach to teaching. Tools such as journal writing, biography, picturing and document analysis are among those which have been in use in Language Arts in addition to a range of other tools in the domain of creative movement, reading, writing, media and speaking which are personalistic in nature.
The authors essentially tried to contextualise the principles and strategies within the field of emerging curricular practice partially using the rhetoric of postmodernism. Refreshing, perhaps, is the authors' Gestalt and transcendental analytic approach to curriculum planning they call the 'rediscovering of curricular meaning, framed to include the learner, teacher, subject matter and the milieu.
The strength of the work lies in the comprehensive range of suggestions on how to create an inclusionary and meaningful approach to such a rediscovering which in turn would scaffold learners' construction of knowledge. It is thus constructivistic in approach permeating all levels – from administrators to learners.
I find the idea relevant to our realisation of the terms 'situated cognition' wherein teachers are also required to define their philosophy and exercise their reflective ability so that they and the learners are together subjectivity knowledge; echoing the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran's idea that '... your children are not yours… they come out of you but not of you' and '… children are like arrows of which you are the bow which launch them' and in Socrates' idea of the innateness of knowledge in the human being.
Teachers as meaning-makers
Teachers, in this postmodernist context, are ones who live in a shared milieu but do not necessarily claim monopoly to knowledge, for in Arthur C Clarke's words, 'the future is a different world … they do things differently'. For learners, we are preparing them for a future which, in fact, is a present consisting of an archived past. Through apprenticeship and guided participation, learners appropriate knowledge, skill and understanding of 'situations' via scaffolds erected by teachers. Learning then becomes situated, dynamic and transformative.
Reading the underlying assumptions of Conelly and Clandin's work, I could sense a strong undercurrent of complexity and chaos theory, anti-foundationalism, subaltern narratives and reflexivity and futurism as strands. If I could envision the results of many decades of mass deployment of Conelly and Clandin's strategies in all schools, something such as below would develop:
State-mandated curriculum would be transformed in character; from one of 'rock logic' to one of 'water logic' in nature in which fluidity in growth and shifting grounds in its parameters will be the feature.
Within the disciplines, knowledge will be organic, mutative, and morphic, much more than inter-disciplined. An analogy of this organic-mutative-morphic nature of knowledge construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction (the 'Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu' nature of things in Hindu philosophy) would be the three-dimensional pattern created out of Artificial Intelligence – generated patterns derived out of mathematical equations as in the Mandelbrott set manifested within the paradigm of Chaos and Complexity theories.
The water logic transformation as such can give birth to (Thomas) Kuhnian paradigm shifts, which would be characteristic of integrative, comprehensive and complex systems based upon the principles of 'perpetual transitions'.
Scenarios of change
Since state-mandated curriculum legitimises the state and hegemonises over the minds of those being schooled (echoing the claims of Theodore Adorno and Antonio Gramsci), decades of 'water logic' transformation of bodies of knowledge (especially in the area of 'soft ideological sciences' such as social studies and history) can soften the state and pave the way for its dissolution, echoing Thomas Kuhn's idea that paradigms will shift when contradictions can no longer be contained. Just as capitalism within a particular nation can no longer carry its own weight and therefore had to transform into imperialism.
Such a dissolution of the postmodern state can then set the stage for peaceful revolutions which can give rise to the leadership of the techno-mystics as such dreamed of by Socrates and Plato who saw the beauty of the republic governed by philosopher-rulers.
Perhaps the nature of world politics will change if the most powerful nations on the face of our Spaceship Earth are governed by techno-mystics who will then spread the message of goodwill through the use of technology towards moral ends and through the sharing of creative products in altruistic ways. Wouldn't there be beauty in looking at a perfect world, one that would be ruled by those who have understood the ancient Persian maxim, 'I wept when I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet'?
Managers of virtue (curriculum implementers, principals, teachers, curriculum committees) will become de-centered and 'empowered by being dis-empowered' by the postmodern possibility of personalistic interpretation of knowledge constructs while freedom will exist for the individual to make his and her history to demystify power and to deconstruct invented realities. All these can help create a positive atomisation of society as a critical, creative, futuristic and life-long learning organic entity. Everyone can then find their own meaning for living and truth within themselves and achieve wisdom in their own lifetimes.
The 'McDonaldnised' idea of state-legitimated schooling for economic development and social advancement can be transformed into the notion of learning as living and living as learning with the 'truth always out there, within and everywhere'.
Perhaps the notion of 'Trust no ideology' (with the greatest apologies to the makers of The X-Files!) can be the dominant idea of the age. Such comments as above thus reflect the link between the ideas proposed in Conelley and Clandin's work and the possibilities which can emerge if we look at these from speculative philosophical and futuristic perspectives.
A teacher's vision
I have provided a scenario based upon the principles of futurism (trend analysis/scenario- building) from which ideas when extrapolated can perhaps predict changes.
Just as the postmodern perspective can provide us with tools to critically analyse modernity and modernism, Connelly's and Clandin's suggestions - which are postmodern in character - can provide educators with the means to build scenarios of living, learning and creating which must be made more and more humane.
The idea of growth, then, can be looked at not necessarily as one spiraling upwards and acquiring more and becoming material in the process but would mean to live, to simply live and to continually ask the ontological, epistemological and axiological questions of living. In short, to reflect upon Kung Fu Tze for we may then continue to live with questions and to ask the ones which are simple.
For, echoing Socrates, aren't the simplest questions the most profound?
Teachers unite – you do not have anything to lose except your chains of boredom and non-creativity.

Recently a law was introduced in Florida, requiring international visitors to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) in order to drive while visiting the State.

Our doors and roadways remain open to all international travelers with valid drivers' licenses from their home country. Visitors can feel free to motor in Florida without worry or the necessity to obtain an International Driving Permit. The Convention & Visitors Bureau has communicated with our delegation to offer strong support for an exemption to this law, especially for Canadian and other English language licenses while they review the entire statute. We welcome our many international visitors, and encourage all to continue with their Florida travel plans.

Rather than paying cash, many clients select to finance the system through conventional loans, monthly lease payments and or a power purchase agreement, as these options reduce the upfront capital requirement and often improve the return on their investment. Most Commercial Solar Systems can take advantage of the (30%) Federal Tax Credit, bonus deprecation and State / Local utility incentives. Sullivan Solar Power offers three major options for commercial clients:
- Capital Leases – Zero Down 100% Financing. Minimizes the upfront cost and allows the site host (Lessee) to utilize the Tax Credit as well as the bonus depreciation of the solar system and any additional incentives available. For Tax and accounting purposes the site hose (Lessee) owns the system, thus it is classified as an asset and the lease payments are considered a liability. Interest payments on the lease can be deducted for tax purposes.
- Operating Leases - Zero Down 100% Financing but the terms of the lease leave the tax benefits with the Lessor, while lowering the monthly lease payment to the site host (Lessee). Operating Leases tend to be the most favorable type of lease with payments lower than current cost of energy.
- Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – The Site Host neither owns and or leases the solar system but purchases the energy generated by the system at a specific rate over an arranged term. The Power Purchase Provider who owns the system receives the tax benefits and is responsible for all the operations and maintenance of the system. The Site Host typically has the option to buy the solar system after 6-7 years. Most large scale commercial and utility scale project are done in the form of a PPA.
Commercial PACE
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing program is also available for non-residential properties and or commercial properties. PACE financing allows eligible property owners to borrow up to 100% of the cost of their solar system, and then pay the money back through their property tax assessment, typically over a 20 year term. The project economics look very attractive, and allow projects to cash flow, assuming that the property owner has tax appetite and can utilize the federal tax credit and depreciation. More information about Commercial PACE and a list approved technologies as well as regions can be discussed with a Sullivan Solar Representative.
Territories that currently allow non-residential PACE financing:
- Los Angeles County
- Sonoma County
- Palm Desert
- Western Riverside Council of Governments
- More to come…

All breaks for all arrivals
The staff behind the bar were less than helpful when it came to ordering food. There were no opening times other than 'til late'. We were then told that this meant 8pm and we couldn't order food despite the fact it wasn't actually 8pm yet! Also better security is needed in the arcade as we witnessed some youths rocking the machines to steal money!
Not enough staff, we witnessed a lifeguard serving food to customers. Times given in childrens entertainment guide are 100% inaccurate.
Caravan was lovely but not a lot on the site or nearby but we went for a relaxing weekend which this site was perfect,would not take kids as I feel they would get bored but nice site for relaxing and excellent value for money.
very poor windows broken in unit dogs hairs on seats cigarette butts everywhere very high price drinks staff helpful was only thing stopping me from going home used you before and had good holiday not sure now
very poor
When we arrived we had a dirty caravan and shower was broken and part of the seatee was broken. Pool was dirty and cold. Electric kept going off all over the campsite. Washing machines were broken and tumble dryers. Broken benches near the park. Small park and not a lot for children to do on the campsite. Cigarette ends all over the campsite on the ground. Would not recommend to anyone.
Caravan was wonderful but location in middle of nowhere not suitable for people that don't drive. The shop is dirty and has literally nothing in it. Bar well over priced and food is over priced and inedible. Entertainment was just ok
It was the worst holiday ever. Ok the weather did not help,as it rained all week. But it was a nightmare holiday,the site was so boring with nothing to do.they make out there is lots to keep you busy,but there is not.
Staff in reception we're really unhelpful and clueless about local area. Would have preferred an honest answer of I don't know then the lies they said. Lifeguards and bar staff were great as were the site team when we had a blonde moment.
after reading many bad reviews i was very concerned about this site .but i need'nt have worried it was a perfect site for my two young boys aged 4 & 8 the clubhouse was perfect not too big so i could keep an eye on my children at all times weather it be on the park or dancefloor .we had some good days out to margate and surrounding areas
the only thing i was dissapointed in was the pool clock has smashed & instead of getting a new one they'd put clingfilm over it
i wouldn't reccomend this site for anyone with teenagers as theres not enough for them to do .but if you have little people theres plenty & a great entertainment team starting early with kids clubs and working very late in the evening
Very dirty caravan, dispite the staff sending someone in to clean again, i ended up cleaning it myself. Pool water very murky. Oven unable to use . No plugs for sinks. Boliers always turned out after use. Missing curtain pannel for living area (where we slept). We were lucky to be able to leave the site daily and visit farms, diggerland etc.
didn't know a car was needed to go to the beach .swimming pool was not open at 10 o'clock, pool stay was limited as pool is to small for the park .club house to small for all the people most nights could not find a seat so we went back to caravan .very disappointed what a waste of money.
caravan was very clean and so was the surrounding park. Club was also clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Beach was about 10 minutes drive and is sandy. The park is down a small country lane about a mile with passing places, so if your not confident on small roads its probably not the place for you. The pool is very good, the only one thing I could criticize is every time it rained the pool closed all together. Because it was linked to the outside pool the water temperature dropped which meant they had to close, which is something we could of done with my 3 children to keep them occupied. If they could solve this would be great.
Friendly an helpful staff

"Hold on, hold on, hold on, don't hit him, don't hit him. Watch him…" the rest of the sentence is indistinct, but he's likely telling the guy to watch for the blood as he's zooming in to capture the close up
The following audio is unclear.
[After the screwdriver stabbing]
"What? With what?" as the cameraman responds to the boy who stabs the victim
"What, he's still alive?" says the guy stabbing the victim
"He's still moving his arms after I ripped up his intestines" the cameraman muffles indistinctly
"He's having a fucked up day" says the stabbing guy after he'd stepped on his stomach.
[More muffled talk as he proceeds to stab him in the eyes with the screwdriver]
"Get over here fast. Kill him already."
"What?" says the stabber
"Kill him already."
"I already put the hammer back. He's already dead."
"I poked out his eyes and he's still not dead" says the cameraman
"Get the knife" cameraman continues
*Proceeds to bludgeon him then interrupts by saying something indistinct*
"More, more" cameraman telling the other guy to keep bludgeoning him to make sure he's dead
"Hold on, hold on"
*They start walking back to the car*
More muffled talk from the blond killer
"Wash your hands" cameraman says and tells him to spray cleaning chemical on the hammer
"I'll hold it"
*Muffled talk from the guy washing the hammer*
*More muffled talk from the guy washing his face and walking back from his car*
"I stuck the screwdriver in his brain" says the camera man
*Muffled talk from the guy washing his hands*
"I got him in the nose from his eye" or something along those lines
"I don't understand how he was alive? I felt his brain" says the camera man
"I was holding the screw driver like this *muffled/don't understand*"
Before the video ends the blond guy says "Alright, let's get a picture"
One of three teens later on quit but the other two continued to murder. The Ukraine police eventually tracked down and detained the teens, which brought immense relief to the people of Dnepropetrovsk and the rest of Ukraine who watched with terror as there was one brutally murdered victim after another. The computer that was seized by the police contained videos of 21 murders and over 300 photographs, including images from funerals as the boys would capture themselves flipping off the graves of their victims.
The Ukraine police did not reveal how they caught the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs but investigation on motives uncovered the brutal truth - the teens were killing as a hobby. They were murdering people to have a collection of memories when they get old. Each of the boys, who were classmates and come from wealthy families, admitted that they were killing just for fun. They were picking their victims at random - mostly people who looked like they would not fight back."

Mark your calendars, folks.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is down-sizing its inventory. Beginning March 1, more than 160 spirits and 240 wines will be sold at discount prices, according to recent reports.
Here's a list on the Patriot-News website that shows the labels being nixed with prices you can expect to pay for them. The choices range from grape-flavored vodka to $135 bottles of Courvoisier.
Now that's some Black

From a few nuts, a Norman business grew
The business thrived.
In the summer of 1983 the Masons built the building at its current location, half a mile west of Interstate 35 on State Highway 9.
By the late 1980s, they had bought most of the equipment from a peanut shop next door that closed.
In a few more years, Bill Mason added a bakery.
Sales took off.
Bill Mason died in 2005, and Karen Mason died in 2008.
Brett Mason, who had been living in Hawaii for about 20 years, came home in 2005 to keep the business alive.
"People ask me, 'Why don't you sell it?' I tell them I can't. I can't sell Mason's Pecans. It's been here forever," he said.
The business has its ups and downs, he said, with this year's pecan crop being one of the best ever as far as quantity.
"I've had some people get as many as 400 pounds of pecans from one tree," he said.
So many people have brought pecans to be cracked, he still has a waiting list.
A good crop is a mixed blessing, he said.
"It probably means my retail sales will tank next year, because people will have all the pecans they need," Brett Mason said.
While many people know that the business sells pecans and peanuts, and does custom cracking and shelling of pecans, not everyone knows that the shop also sells other kinds of nuts, including pine nuts, as well as nut candies, honey, syrup, jellies, relishes, molasses, hot sauces and barbecue sauces.
Mason's also operates a bakery and makes custom baskets.
The store is open seven days a week from mid-September through Easter.
After Easter, the store is open Monday through Saturday but closes on Sundays.

The most recent addition to the facilities and services at Greenwell State Park is the Francis Knott Retreat Lodge, designed and constructed with the special needs of guests with physical and mental disabilities in mind. Greenwell State Park is located in Hollywood, in Saint Mary's County.
The completion of the Francis Knott Retreat Lodge fulfills one more part of its benefactors vision. In the early 1970s John Philip Greenwell, Jr. and his sister Mary Wallace Greenwell donated their farm to the state with the condition that a park be developed that would be accessible to visitors having physical and mental disabilities. After the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the 1980s, which required the state to develop all parks to the accessibility levels of the Greenwells' vision, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) raised the accessibility bar for Greenwell even higher than its benefactors had envisioned.
The Lodge was named after James Francis Knott, who started working for the Greenwells in the 1950s as their farm manager. After the farm was donated to the state, Francis Knott was hired by DNR to continue managing the farm and park. Knott died of cancer in 1990 while still serving as the Greenwell State Park Manager.
Though totally accessible, the majority of the lodge guests do not have any disabilities. The majority of the groups using the facility do so because they are using other park facilities for events such as weddings, family reunions, organizational retreats and workshops. However, it is anticipated that a larger clientele with the special needs the lodge accommodates will start to utilize the facility. This increase in interest should occur as additional facilities and programs are developed in the park that meet the special needs of visitors with disabilities.
After donating their farm to the State, the Greenwells created a foundation to assist DNR with respect to the department's duties and obligations to manage and operate Greenwell State Park. It is the Greenwell Foundation that manages and operates the Francis Knott Retreat lodge. Reservations and further information can be acquired by contacting the Greenwell Foundation at: 301-373-9775.

Nice And WarmAbout 2 months ago, I bought some girl jeans. I like to wear them with my panties, they feel so nice. I just wish I could fill them out better than I do. My butt is so straight, no curves in other words. Anyway though, it has been getting cold in the mornings and without my hair on my body I have been suffering the cold whether, so I did what any girl would do and added pantyhose to my wardrobe, under my jeans. What a joy. They keep me warm and make me feel good at the same time. I don't know why women complain about them so much. Other that the fact that they like to roll down, they feel so nice on the legs. I feel so special when I wear them, just like a girly girl.
i grew up in the petticoat era, before pantyhose were available. and my mom didn't buy me my first garterbelt and stockings until i was 15. so, i've always had a preferrence for wearing gartered nylon stockings instead of pantyhose. but, when the mini-skirt era replaced my petticoats. i found various occaisons when it was necessary to wear pantyhose.

what i'd like to ask here. does anyone ALSO wear silky nylon pant liners over their pantyhose, under their jeans, trousers, or slacks? how about those silky short legged "pettipanties", (often referred to as "beaver cheaters" in my mini-skirt wearing days) over your pantyhose while wearing shorts or a short skirt?

for me, i enjoy the double silky sensations with every step, of my silky nylon clad legs rubbing against the silky nylon pants liner, rubbing against my pants legs.

just wondering if i'm our of my realm.

Same here, MaryAnne! I feel so special when I'm wearing pantyhose!! I mostly wear pantyhose with my dress slacks, but sometimes I wear them with jeans too. The feeling of your nylon encased legs rubbing with the fabric of the jeans is simply orgasmic!
I love to wear pantyhose as well under my clothing not just because of the fetish I have for them but also they keep me warm as well. I try and wear them or tights everytime I go skiing for the warmth and feeling I just wory about getting hurt and being found out that I wear them.
I have also been worried about getting hurt, getting to the hospital and everyone finds out of my wearing pantyhose and the fact that I paint my toenails red but you know what? The joy these little things give you is much greater than the fear of being caught in them. Most people are narrow-minded and name something as "weird" because it's not typical of men to wear stuff that's considered feminine. Wear what you like and support it!
i agree!
imagine having to wear thick sets of real cloth diapers with plastic panties 24/7, having a pair of 38-C breasts left over from being on hrt for 30 years, and also wearing women's things along with having your nails painted, like me?
Absolutely my dear. I feel exactly the same way. The joy far outweighs the risk!
I shave my legs in Sept or around there and reallly feels sexy when I put em on after I shower.

"Gamers have been worried for some time about their ability to buy Battlefield 3 from Steam, and EA has now provided an official statement on the matter: until Valve changes its policies, the game won't be available on the most popular digital distribution service in the United States. According to EA, this isn't their call; it's due to the fact that Valve has placed restrictions on how content can be shared on the games sold via Steam."
Today's daily deals in the Steam Holiday Sale of 2010 bring some huge discounts to a good set of games. Immediate standouts are Burnout Paradise, The Witcher, and BioShock 2. These deals will last until tomorrow morning at 10AM PST, when we'll get a new set of discounts. Your deals for 12/21 are:
"You may love Steam and games publishers may love Steam, but games retailers are certainly having no love for the premier digital distribution channel for PC games. According to MCV, certain game retailers in the UK are upset enough by Steam to threaten that they will not carry any product that carry any Steam integration. Retailers feel that Steam integration will just drive customers to the Steam service, thereby killing the retail model." | more
The closest thing to Steam and Linux is a Mac OS X... I know it's sad right?
"Question: Final question, and one I'm sure you're not super-keen to answer, but I promised one of our tech guys I'd ask it. What truth is there to rumours that you're also working on a Linux version of Steam? -- Doug Lombardi: There's no Linux version that we're working on right now..."
Given the added improvement of the Mac OSX running a Unix-based operating system with Intel processors, it doesn't' take the programmers long to cross platforms. I'm a little surprised that Apple is actually doing something right here. It feels like a perfect win-win for Steam and Mac to work together. I've known plenty of Mac Book users installing Windows XP on separate partitions. Some of the hold backs for Mac adopters are in large part due to the lack of game support. So what are your thoughts on this matter?
Alien Swarm is a game and Source SDK release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community.
With the first full-fledged expansion for Dragon Age: Origins hitting North American today, digital distributor Steam has commemorated the occasion with a "Midweek Madness" sale.
Both Dragon Age: Origins PC and Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition PC have been marked down by 33%--making then $33.49 and $43.54, respectively--with the prices good until 4 PM PST on Thursday, March 18.
Clues in the latest update point in that direction
It would seem that with the announced update to Steam, Valve has reportedly left some clues that a potential port of Steam to Mac OS X might actually be in the works. While Valve isn't talking, our sources tell us that the beta has offered some clues that seem to indicate it could be in the works.
The decision to bring Steam to the Mac OS X platform really isn't that surprising because a number of publishers are already using the Steam service to offer Mac versions of their titles.
A public beta for an all-new user interface for Steam, Valve's digital distribution program, is now available to all users through the beta opt-in setting inside of Steam. If you have Steam installed, click here to opt-in.
In the press release, John Cook, director of Steam development, released the following statement:
We made hundreds of changes to the Steam client as a result of customer feedback on the interface, performance, and functionality. For example, we swapped out the Internet Explorer rendering engine with WebKit, which gives us a bunch of size, stability and performance benefits. This release of Steam leaves us well prepared for another year of strong growth.
A full rundown of the new features in this beta can be found at the Steam website.

Skate hard, don't give up, have a good attitude - good qualities for hockey players that go a long way toward winning games.
But Dave King was looking for more.
King, a Coyotes assistant, is one of the foremost teachers in the sport, knew going beyond that threshold held limitless possibilities. For three-plus decades, as an NHL, Olympic and international coach, he has been subtly changing the way the game is taught and played.
"He really influenced all of us to organize ourselves at practice, to have a game plan," said Ken Hitchcock, coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets. "He saw the game intellectually way above us. We always thought the game was hard work and determination, and that would get it done.
"We never really knew much about systems of play, but Dave brought structure to all of our thought patterns."
King, Clare Drake and George Kingston initiated coaching symposiums and clinics that quickly became must-attend events. When King was named coach of the Canadian national team, he hosted symposiums, and "we went out of our way to get to those," Hitchcock said.
King chuckled when told of some of Hitchcock's glowing praise.
"I wouldn't go that far," said King, former coach of the Calgary Flames and first coach of the expansion Blue Jackets - a job Coyotes coach Dave Tippett also sought prior to the 2000 season.
"I've been around a long time, and . . . I just think you come up with ideas, try to be innovative in what you're doing, and I guess you discover a couple things along the way."
King's preparation and grasp of tactical points convinced Tippett that he needed his old friend on the staff.
"I respect his knowledge of the game as much as anybody in the world," said Tippett, who played for the Canadian Olympic team in 1984 and 1992.
It's not as simple as it sounds - be in the right place at the right time, communicate on the ice, play within the system, be structured. King was able to develop techniques that made it easier for players to excel.
Hitchcock is one who credits King with teaching the art of communication on the ice, including naming of positions and areas on the ice "that every hockey coach in the world uses now."
While King deflects praise for his efforts, he continually helps veteran and young players understand and play the game a little bit better. He's a firm believer in using a lot of video as a teaching tool, noting that some players are visual learners. In that area, he shows players clips of them doing things right, not wrong.
Teaching can be frustrating. What seems easy to pick up for one player can baffle the next. King says it takes patience, then smiled and added he hopes what he's saying makes sense.
While he acknowledges the help he has given, he says his greatest satisfaction is how many of his former players have entered the coaching ranks at various levels.
"I don't rate myself in terms of Olympic medals, championships, those kind of things, he said. "I've always kind of said to myself, 'If my guys are coaching, I must have done something right.'
"That to me has always been kind of my benchmark."
"Dave's got a whole wealth of knowledge that a lot of young guys haven't seen before.
"His penalty killing (techniques) helped me over the short little while he's been here, getting better with my reads. He'll just fix on certain spots in the offensive zone, those dead areas that are good scoring spots."
- Third-year center Daniel Winnik
"His knowledge of the game is right there at the top with any coach in the league. It's the little things, tactical things he's aware of. He's a teacher of the game . . .
"Especially with the young guys, he'll be a great influence to them, for us (veterans) as well. He'll have the opportunity to see the little things on video or just by his eye."
