Thank you for a wonderful week at sea! I loved every meal onboard! Very inspired by your cooking. Loved seeing all the beautiful sites. Best Regards, Cindy
Elina and Michalis,

Elina your culinary skills are so inspiring, I can't wait for my Bill to make your sweet peppers recipe (Yum!) Michalis your piloting and smiling face will always be remembered.

Dear Mike and Anastasia,
We have spent a magical 10 days on the boat and not often experience such relaxation and the chance to go to so many beautiful bays and towns. We massively enjoyed walking around towns and villages soaking up the wonderful Greek culture. It is rare when you come across people as kind as Anastasia and Mike who have served us to the point where we can ask for no more. –Charlie
The funniest moment for me was when Mike has to jump into the water and it was really cold and he had to get a rope off the propeller and it was funny when he came out because he was jumping up and down because he was so cold. Thank you Anastasia for making wonderful food and mike for being a fantastic skipper. Xxx Mia
Dear Mike and Anastasia,
Although I have only been on the Mystique for a few days, I must say I've had the time of my life and I wish I could stay longer. My bed was extremely comfortable and the food was fantastic. I enjoyed Nutella crepes and bacon for breakfast and toasted sandwiches for lunch. Once again I want to say thank you so much for the luxurious cruise and thank you for taking us to glorious bays which helped me learn to successfully dive from height. –Joss
Dear Mike and Anastasia,
My 10 day stay on Mystique was absolutely magical. Firstly because the beautiful boat was basically a villa with a sail and secondly, because the crew were wonderful, very warm and welcoming to all of us providing us with all we need. Before this, I have never been to Greece and this exquisite sailing adventure was an incredible way to come here for my first time. Thank you so much again, An
Mike, put out the tender
Lower the tender
To shore we must flee
For it is precarious to wee
When starting at the peak
Of the very lovely Mystique
Oh, what a glorious time
Friends, family and wine
And not to forget the sunshine
We forged our way
To a new bay each day
And in Anastasia's care we lay
The heart of a wonderful stay.
Thank you, Edward Cain

We felt safe in your hands Michael! Thank you Elina for the wonderful food and fantastic presentation at every meal! And thank you for caring for every one of us all day long.

|Dear George and Emilia,
Travelling 5000 miles to get here was more than worth it!!!We fly out on Monday, and wish we could come back on Tuesday!
We loved the itinerary and every island we visited. Without your ideas and expert navigation we couldn't have experienced all this.
Your company, jokes and laughs were great. Even better was the beauty salon. Thanks heavens our hair looked good because our figures are ballooning with all the amazing food.
We hope to see you in Miami, and we'll be the captains and cooks for you.
Will you come: "Yes or No"

Your marvelous attention to details has made all the difference in our experience on board.
George, a couple of lithrinia may not retain your reputation as a fisherman your try however was impressive.Emily we may have not challenged your cooking, yet your discreet shadow looking over us has made this trip most pleasant and memorable.
|June 2014

|Dear George and Emilia,
Laurie and i would like to thank you for providing us a wonderful experience in the Cyclades over the last week.
Your professionalism and attention to every little detail made for a special adventure during our visits to each beuatiful island.
This experience was special for me because it is the first time that i have been able to enjoy the magnificence of many of the Greek islands from the sea.
The skills of captain George were evident during one day of rough weather. He was able to navigate through rough weather with ease. At the same time Emilia made sure all of us were happy and very well fed with her special cooking skills.
You provided us with the best experience of Greece and we thank you very much!
All the best John and Laurie
|May 2014
|Dear Captain George and Emilia,
You have ruined Greece for us ! How can we ever see it again with out you ? You both have made our trip through the Cyclades perfect. Wether good weather or bad you made each day a wonderful experience. The food was the best we have had in all of Greece. George's fishing skills are now legendary.
The beauty and the silence of the catamaran under sail is something we will remember as a special part of our Greek experience.
Thank you , thank you ! As we head to Crete we are already missing you !
Ron, Marrianne.
|15th of July 2011
|The journey we had a pleasure to go through, which brought us an unforgettable experience, we¢d like to thank for so the hard work and great service of the crew members would not be forgotten.
We would like to say great thanks to Captain George for being both friendly and professional, showing us this little world we would never expected to find in Europe, where the places we visited would leave warm and kind traces in our memories. The atmosphere which was created for the perfection of our holiday made us feel in our own planet without any discomfort which persuaded me to transfer all of our good and thankful feelings in this letter.
It also should not be left out how our great cooking expert Christina introduced to us the best dishes a Greek person could know! The food was simply amazing though some people gained some extra weight…
Excellent work guys!
Maria, Sergey, Nikolay, Victoria, Dina
Being a child and living one week on an amazing boat is a dream come true. I want to thank George and Cristina for being amazing helpers throughout this experience. I couldn¢t think of a better way of spending my 10-11 b-day
Thank you George,
Thank you Cristina,
P.S. I¢ll remember not to come in wet again
|Dear George and Christina
Sharing with you this wonderful week in the Greek islands was very special and a wonderful experience . Many many thanks for all your warmth and caring.
Take care
Graber Family
|See you soon!
|Captain George and Cristina :
We had an amazing experience on the Mystique, floating on oily waters on our way to Mykonos which looked like a dream. Cyclades and Peloponeso islands, night navigation, even herculean effort to repair one of the engines showed that both of you make a perfect team to enjoy safely an incredible holiday on Greece waters.
Food was superb, we will always remember you guys and this excellent week on this amazing catamaran.
Thanks ,
Adrian, Gaby, Tomi and Julia Isman
|June 2012
|Top ten things about the June 2012 Mystique Cruise
1.If your champagne bottle is smaller than 6 liters, you are doing it wrong.
2.Never ask Christina if there is another course of food. There is.
3.Millennium millennium.
4." Attention! Anchor!" = swim time!
5.If it's your birthday, George is your DJ.
6.Wine glass maximum acceptable loss rate (also known as WMALR) is 25%.
7.If you go horse back riding in Paros and they ask your skill level Always say "advanced" . Seriously.
8.Don't screw with the Mykonos pelican.
9.Breakfast at 1pm is the new reality.
10.The Russian way is the only way!
Thank you for an incredible week.
George & Christina- you guys are the best!

The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language in the Indo-European family. Several forms of Latin existed, and the language evolved considerably over time, eventually becoming the Romance languages spoken today. Silver Age Latin was the most popular. Initially a highly inflectional and synthetic language, older forms of Latin rely little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Like other Indo-European languages, Latin gradually became much more analytic over time and acquired conventionalized word orders as it lost more and more of its case system and associated inflections. Its alphabet, the Latin alphabet, is based on the Old Italic alphabet, which is in turn derived from the Greek alphabet. The Latin alphabet is still used today to write most European and many other languages. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar, vocabulary, and eventually pronunciation. Also, although Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite, as most of the literature studied by Romans was written in Greek. In the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which became the Byzantine Empire; Greek was the main lingua franca as it had been since the time of Alexander the Great, while Latin was mostly used by the Roman administration and its soldiers. Eventually Greek would supplant Latin as both the official written and spoken language of the Eastern Roman Empire, while the various dialects of Vulgar Latin used in the Western Roman Empire evolved into the modern Romance languages still used today. The expansion of the Roman Empire spread Latin throughout Europe, and over time Vulgar Latin evolved and dialectized in different locations, gradually shifting into a number of distinct Romance languages beginning in around the 9th century. Many of these languages, including French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish,
flourished, the differences between them growing greater over time. Although English is Germanic rather than Romanic in origin—Britannia was a Roman province, but the Roman presence in Britain had effectively disappeared by the time of the Anglo-Saxon invasions—English today borrows heavily from Latin and Latin-derived words. Old English borrowings were relatively sparse and drew mainly from ecclesiastical usage after the Christianization of England. When William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy in 1066, he brought with him a considerable number of retainers who spoke Anglo-Norman French, a Romance language derived from Latin. Anglo-Norman French remained the language of the English upper classes for centuries, and the number of Latinate words in English increased immensely through borrowing during this Middle English period. More recently, during the Modern English period, the revival of interest in classical culture during the Renaissance led to a great deal of conscious adaptation of words from Classical Latin authors into English. Although Latin is an extinct language with very few remaining fluent speakers, it remains in use in many ways. In particular, Latin has survived through Ecclesiastical Latin, the traditional language of the Roman Catholic Church and one of the official languages of the Vatican City. Although distinct from both Classical and Vulgar Latin in a number of ways, Ecclesiastical Latin was more stable than typical Medieval Latin. More Classical sensibilities eventually re-emerged in the Renaissance with Humanist Latin. Due to both the prevalence of Christianity and the enduring influence of the Roman civilization, Latin became western Europe's lingua franca, a language used to cross international borders, such as for academic and diplomatic usage. A deep knowledge of classical Latin was a standard part of the educational curriculum in many western countries until well into the 20th century, and is still taught in many schools today. Although it was eventually supplanted in this respect by French in the 19th century and English in the 20th, Latin continues to see heavy use in religious, legal, and scientific terminology, and in academia in general.

WASHINGTON, February 8. /TASS/. The United States and its allies and partners appreciate the professionalism of the Russian Armed Forces operating in Syria, Director of Public Affairs at the Combined Joint Task Force of Operation Inherent Resolve conducted by a group of countries led by the US in Iraq and Syria, US Army Colonel Thomas Veale told TASS on Thursday.
"We appreciate the Russian Federation's professionalism and regular communication [with its military units deployed to Syria] via the de-confliction line," he noted. According to Veale, the de-confliction line "has been a valuable asset for de-conflicting the congested battlespace in Syria, preventing accidental targeting as well as escalations in tensions or use of force."
According to the colonel, "the exchanges between the Coalition and Russian officials have been regular and professional, and thus the process has certainly served its purpose."
Nevertheless, he declined to answer questions on whether there were any new contacts between the Russian and US militaries in connection with the shelling of Syrian pro-government forces by the coalition near the inhabited community of Khusham.
"Regarding the recent event near Khusham, Syria, the Coalition had been observing a slow buildup of Syrian pro-regime forces (PRF) over the past week," Veale pointed out. "Coalition officials alerted Russian officials of the SDF presence in Khusham via the de-confliction line well in advance of the PRF attack. Coalition officials were in regular communication with Russian counterparts before, during and after the thwarted PRF attack. Russian officials assured Coalition officials they would not engage Coalition forces in the vicinity."
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Syrian pro-government forces came under shelling from the coalition in the Deir ez-Zor province on February 7 due to actions that had not been coordinated with the Russian military. A total of 25 pro-government fighters were wounded. There are no Russian military servicemen in the area, the ministry added.

I really, really dislike gobbledy gook and jargon. Although I understand that at times there is a need to use multi-syllable words I believe that most of the time they are used to impress, not to inform. Like large diamonds and flashy cars are used to show off wealth polysyllabic words are used to show off a big vocabulary as if that was an indication of wisdom. I have preached about it in several of the book reviews I have done over on LibraryThing.com and I expect that I will again.
There was a great example of when it is necessary to use big words to get your point across in a recent episode of Modern Family. Ed O'Neal's character was playing, and winning, Words with Friends with his granddaughter, the smart one, and she was convinced he was cheating. When she confronts him he simply explains that he has a large vocabulary. Not in those words of course, he explains it in a sentence packed with an impressive number of syllables, giving indisputable evidence of the truth of the statement. That is the only reason, in my unhumble opinion, to use those words, when nothing else will work. Why is it we see the value of the common man but not the common word?
A teacher I used to work for once told me that the reason we learn language is to communicate. If we try to communicate with words that people may or may not understand are we sure we are communicating? Howard S. Becker in his book Writing for the Social Scientist, said much the same thing. Over use of technical jargon and obscure words interferes with communications. Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article on much the same topic this week. However I have never read the book in question and although I agree with what Mr. Gladwell is saying I also have to allow for the possibility that Christopher Chabris is correct in this instance. There are times when some obscure word that requires the reader to grab a dictionary and read all the way to the final, most obscure, definition, is exactly what the writer needs to express their idea.
Like curse words, technical jargon and academic speech need to be reserved for when they are truly needed. Common words, comfort words that fit like an old slipper are almost always the best choice to express your ideas. However if your hammer slips and you split your thumb open like a grape "Gosh!" will not be enough to accurately express the moment.

ICYDK, Alex Gonzaga is now a legit YouTuber. The Kapamilya actress/host has already gained over 100k subscribers and counting, considering her channel is just a few weeks old. From beauty vids with her sister Toni Gonzaga to closet tours in her own home, Alex shows viewers a more intimate side of herself. Her latest upload is no exception; it deals with a more personal matter: love.
In July, Alex sent a call-out on Twitter asking her fans about all their relationship questions:
If you have Questions about what to do with your boyfriend, suitor, ex or crush.. tweet me w/ #AskALEXVlog and ill answer & watch it soon ??— Alex Gonzaga (@Mscathygonzaga) July 17, 2017
To answer the tweets, Alex invited her good friend Luis Manzano to provide a male perspective to complement her answers. Here are snippets from their convo:
On cheating:
Question: "Why do men cheat? [Is it in their] nature?"
Luis: "Don't get me wrong, maraming nagchi-cheat na babae. Why? Puwedeng may nakikita siyang pagkukulang sa kaniyang partner. And at the same time, mayroon siyang pagkukulang sa sarili niya kaya siya bumibigay. But at the end of the day, hindi mo dapat sisihin ang partner mo kapag may plano kang mag-cheat. Lahat 'yun babagsak sa'yo pa rin."
Alex: "Gagawin mo ang isang bagay kapag meron kang hinahanap. Ang pag-cheat, kuya Luis, ay hindi 'yan 'yung 'Wala eh. Wala ako nagawa dahil sa panahon. Nagulat na lang ako nan'dun na eh.' Hindi."
Luis: "But, once again, it's not just men who cheat."
On closure:
Alex: "For me, closure is important but not necessary. Minsan darating ang closure after a year, after two years—'yung bigla kayo magkikita tapos 'dun niyo mare-realize na tapos na [kayo]."
Luis: "Nangyari sa akin 'yan. Nangyari sa akin na may nag-cheat sa akin. Tinawagan ko. 'Nung nalaman ko ang nangyari, sabi ko 'Tapos. It's over.' Never ko na nakausap."

Serena withdraws from Cincinnati Masters with back problems
Serena Williams withdrew from the Cincinnati Masters on Tuesday due to back problems just days after spasms forced her to retire from the Rogers Cup final in Toronto.
"I came to Mason on Sunday and have tried everything to be ready to play tonight, and was still hopeful after my practice this morning," the 23-times Grand Slam champion said.
"But unfortunately my back is still not right."
Williams, twice champion at the Cincinnati Masters, had been hoping to use the tournament as a final tune-up ahead of this month's U.S. Open.
She had been in menacing form in Toronto before retiring early in the first set of the final against Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu, reports Reuters.

Brighton's Maupay piles misery on Ljungberg's Arsenal at Emirates
*Newcastle out gun Sheffield United 2-0
Rome was not built in a day and Freddie Ljungberg is discovering Arsenal's decline has hardly been a short-term issue either. It will take a prodigious effort, whether from the new interim head coach or anyone else, to whip this group of players into shape and that impression was confirmed in the starkest terms.
Brighton dominated most of Ljungberg's first home game in charge, fully deserving the win given to them by Adam Webster and, 10 minutes from the end, Neal Maupay. Arsenal were unable to build on Alexandre Lacazette's equaliser and many more non-performances like this will strengthen the case for the managerial situation to be resolved as soon as possible, reports the Guardian.
Ljungberg had taken to the dugout in a thick bench jacket that kept the critics who, irrelevantly, had questioned his choice of attire at Carrow Road on Sunday guessing. Whether or not he had discarded the grey sweater this time, he certainly needed his team to be smarter.
To that end he made three changes from the side that had hung on at Norwich: Lucas Torreira had finished that game well so replaced Matteo Guendouzi, while the selections of Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Héctor Bellerín for Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers were unsurprising.
The low-key nature of the opening stages was more noteworthy. Ljungberg was made to feel perfectly welcome but there was not quite a hero's reception; nor was there anything approaching a full house, although there was more life inside the Emirates than for Unai Emery's last rites against Eintracht Frankfurt seven days earlier.
And it was a homecoming when Steve Bruce was appointed Newcastle manager but, in a different way, this was a happy return to where it all began for him.
Twenty-one years after his managerial career commenced at Bramall Lane Bruce inflicted a first defeat since September on his former club Sheffield United to continue Newcastle's renaissance. They are now 11th which, after Bruce's traumatic first few weeks, feels like dizzying heights.
If this was a case of pilfering the points, with Sheffield United dominating much of the match, goalkeeper Martin Dubravka outstanding and Jonjo Shelvey's clinching goal controversial, Newcastle nonetheless had much to savour.
Defenders have proved their best form of attack this season but, with Allan Saint-Maximin scoring Newcastle's first goal and Andy Carroll setting up the second, their forwards finally contributed.
Two Uniteds have more in common than just the suffix. Each is managed by a lifelong fan and Chris Wilder and Steve Bruce turned to talismanic locals as they altered their attacks.
Wilder gave his captain, Billy Sharp, a belated first Premier League start – at 33 he became the oldest English outfield player to make a full debut in the division since 2007 – while Bruce sprang a surprise by bringing in Carroll. It was 3,264 days and the best part of nine years since his previous start for his hometown club, a few weeks before his £35m move to Liverpool.
Arsenal 1 – 2 Brighton
Sheff United 0 – 2 Newcastle
AFN crisis: You can't be autonomous, Ministry cautions faction
The Ministry of Youth and Sports has said the Athletic Federation of Nigeria cannot declare itself independent, insisting it has statutory responsibilities to supervise over all sporting association including the AFN.
The AFN, on Wednesday, at an Extra-ordinary Congress in Awka, Anambra, declared its autonomous from government, saying its action was backed by the statutes of the World Athletics.
The Awka Congress provided a new twist to the crisis rocking the federation after the AFN President Ibrahim Gusau, who had earlier been purportedly suspended by a faction of the board, superintended over the General Assembly Meeting.
Seven members of the board had on Tuesday met in Abuja where they announced the suspension of Gusau for misappropriation of funds and abuse of power. It also set up a probe panel to investigate the culpability of the embattled administrator.
However, in a dramatic twist to the development, a day after his suspension, Gusua led the Congress to declare the federation autonomous of government.
In a release made available to New Telegraph and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Olusade Adesola, the ministry said it approved the decision of the AFN board which suspended Gusau and advised the embattled administrator to cooperate with the investigative panel.
It said that the Abuja meeting was duly convened and its decision is binding on the federation.
The sports ministry also insisted that the AFN must comply with the rules which puts it and its operations under the supervision of the ministry.
"Following from the above, the Ministry cautions the erstwhile President to subject himself to the outcome of the proceedings. We also encourage the Board to continue to carry out the affairs of the Federation in accordance with extant rules and regulations.
"The FMYSD hereby reinstates that it has statutory responsibilities for the formulation, supervision, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes on Sports administration in the country.
"In the discharge of these responsibilities, the Ministry through the 38 National Sports Federations under its supervision ensures the compliance with laid down Rules and Regulations of the Code of Governance, which the constitution of the National Sports Federations recognizes."
Pinnick blasts Rohr for publicly demanding for salary
Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick has criticized Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr for publicly demanding for his salary.
The football administrator denied that the Nigerian Federation is owing the Franco-German despite claims he is being owed salary for three months.
Rohr's public request has led to the Nigerian Federation issuing him a query over his utterances.
Pinnick said : "We don't owe you, you cannot come out to say that we are owning you salary. We pay you, an employee, and you must respect the employer because we pay you salary religiously.
"If they pay you, you don't come out to say they pay you. There are some things you don't say."
Rohr has a contract with the Nigeria Football Federation until June 2020 and can begin discussing with interested clubs or countries next month if his contract is not extended.
The former Bayern Munich defender reportedly earns approximately $50,000 every month as coach of the Super Eagles.
Rohr unveils plans for Eagles' next friendly game
Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has revealed his plan to include new players to play in next friendly game.

"With the next FIFA window, we will be in the qualifiers for the (2022) World Cup, so it will not be the moment to try new things with players we have never seen before," Rohr said on Brilla FM.
He further stated, "You never know what can happen, we will see because I think before the FIFA [World Cup] qualifiers, we would have perhaps a friendly, this is the moment to test new players."

Everton boss slams Iwobi, teammates
Everton manager Marco Silva has criticized the display of Alex Iwobi and his club teammates following Wednesday's 5-2 thrashing against Liverpool in a Premier League clash at Anfield.
Iwobi and his teammates went into the 235th merseyside derby against local rivals Liverpool following their poor run of results which has seen them pickup just four wins from 14 games.
The Toffees however could not cope with the intensity of Jürgen Klopp's side as the 5-2 loss saw them drop into the relegation zone, thereby piling more pressure on Silva.
The under-fire Portuguese coach didn't hide his frustration, hence,labelling his players not good enough after the loss.
"We cannot concede goals in the way we conceded. The way we conceded was not good enough, we should be more brave,"
"It is really tough for us to be in the relegation zone but if you are there you are making the same mistakes. I'm not here to talk about the fight of the players, our opponent was more brave than us. We should do better, of course, we were not good enough."
"We are making some mistakes which put us under big, big pressure. The type of mistakes we are making is because the players are playing under big pressure because of the position in the table.
"They are making some mistakes that are not normal for the level we are."

How I will trounce Ruiz –Joshua
- Ruiz: I'll die protecting my titles
Anthony Joshua has opened up on his gameplan to prise the world heavyweight titles back from the clutches of Andy Ruiz Jr on Saturday.
Joshua is in Saudi Arabia for his rematch with the Mexican after June's incredible upset in the USA.
The 30-year-old has opened up on his tactics for the fight, in order to nullify Ruiz's power, and he even admitted asking his opponent for any tips on how to get the better of him.
'For me, take centre. If I'm six inches in front of Ruiz, all takes for a man to miss a punch is six inches,' he told reporters. 'So sometimes you haven't even got to be running around the ring.
'I asked him upstairs, I said: "How do I beat you, then?" He says: "Mate, you should move around a little."
Meanwhile, Joshua insists that he won't be celebrating should he regain his belts on Saturday evening.
'This time, I am not here to put on a show, just to win,' he told reporters.
'Look at the undercard – I fought most of those guys and won. I have been around the block in a short space of time. I am definitely experienced and I know what I am doing.'
World heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr has said he fulfilled a lifelong dream when he triumphed over Britain's Anthony Joshua in June and he would "die trying" to defend his belts in the title rematch in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Mexican-American Ruiz produced one of boxing's biggest upsets when he dethroned the previously undefeated world champion Joshua with a seventh-round stoppage at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"I have been doing this since I was six and it is finally paying off," Ruiz told the BBC. "There is no way I am going to let these belts go, I will die trying.
"It has been a roller-coaster and now that I made the dreams come true there is no way I will let these go."
Ruiz, however, said he would not 'underestimate' Joshua and that he had his own strategies to counter the former Olympic champion.
"I know he lost weight and that he will try and box me around," Ruiz added. "So it's my job to prevent that.
"(In the June bout) I was the one who had the strength, the one backing him up. When I jabbed I pushed him away."

EMC Avamar Virtual Edition 7.1.1 for Microsoft Azure and Hyper-V Released
EMC today announced the release of a new version of its Avamar Virtual Edition which integrates the company's Avamar solution with Microsoft Azure and Hyper-V. EMC's Avamar offers variable-length deduplication, daily backups and recovery, and support for virtualized environments. Avamar Virtual Edition can be deployed in a Hyper-V virtual machine in order to serve as a bridge between legacy backup functionality and cloud-based backup and disaster recovery solutions.
Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) can replicate between physical or virtual Avamar deployments and can be integrated with EMC Data Domain Systems via the DD Boost software as well as the company's VCE Vblock and VSPEX offerings. AVE can target an Avamar Data Store in order to take advantage of the data store's high availability and reliability via its Redundant Array of Independent Nodes (RAIN) architecture with daily recoverability verification and disaster recovery through replication.
Each AVE instance supports up to 4TB of storage capacity which can be used to support enterprise backup and recovery requirements across three typical use cases. AVE can be used to power direct cloud backups via Avamar's backup agent for use cases such as integrating with remote offices. The software can also be used to replicate backups to the cloud and to protect cloud-based applications.
This expansion of support for Microsoft products is of course interesting given EMC's ownership stake in competing entity VMware. The move does highlight EMC's desire to be everything to everyone and makes strategic sense on that front.

Which is not to slight the rest of her trio. In fact, it proved more than capable of backing Spalding's one- woman show, even stealing the spotlight from her at times. Keyboardist Leonardo Genovese was everywhere at once: in the background, at the forefront, on the piano, on various keyboards (one, which must have been tuned especially for Paris, even sounded like an accordion). Wherever he was his presence was certainly felt. Playing the only chordal and melodic instrument, Genovese was given the lion's share of the solo space, and he continually impressed with the fluidity and freshness of his ideas.
In the meantime, drummer Lyndon Rochelle was an absolute rock behind the kit. Many of Spalding's songs have complicated meters, twisting and turning and rarely repeating themselves. Rochelle was somehow able to find a groove on each one, and his ability to alter the groove ever so slightly brought out the best in both Spalding and Genovese.
The tunes ran the gamut of styles from blues to pop to jamband, touching on standards and Argentinian dance music along the way. Spalding, meanwhile, made each style her own. Her voice is light and flutters up and down scales as a bird's song might, yet it possesses at the same time an inexplicable power. And her bass playing, while still raw and not nearly as fluid as her vocal stylings, is certainly at a very high level. At times during her solos, it sounded as if she were singing through her bass.
The first set opened with a soulful vocal improvisation that immediately whipped the crowd into a frenzy, followed by a fiery "She Got To You" from the excellent Esperanza (2008, Heads Up Records) and a very different version of "Autumn Leaves." Other highlights included an extended version of "I Know You Know" and a beautiful rendition of "Precious," both off Esperanza, as well as the second- set-closing "I Can't Help It," dedicated to Michael Jackson.
No longer is Spalding "the next big thing": she has arrived. Her work in the studio relates little to her live show. In the studio, her vocal performances are flawless, the arrangements tight and constructed. On stage, raw emotion takes over. She and her band are spunky, innocent, reflective, seductive, and rebellious all at once. The density of sound for what, at its core, is a piano trio, is remarkable. Unlike the fleeting luminescence of pop stars, Spalding's is a star that will continue to shine its light on the jazz world for decades to come.

Rampant McManamon the patron saint of Meath's lost cause
As an exercise in humility, it was like Da Vinci saying he just threw a few colours on a piece of paper and suddenly emerged with the picture of a serenely smiling dame.
"Ah, I just got on the end of a few scores," deflected Kevin McManamon. Within a deluge of 3-20, perhaps one could be forgiven the momentarily mis-placed memory of a fine 1-5.
Perhaps this was the day when the term impact sub was consigned to history; certainly, whatever the updated version of the infamous 'blue book' may be, it is indelibly written that individualism means nothing and everything to a Dublin team seemingly destined for greatness.
On this day, McManamon's impact didn't require a substitute. After no little time, it became apparent that the greatest competition in yesterday's Leinster final was that produced within the champions, not the illusory contest presented by the challengers.
Less than halfway into the first-half, as Meath meandered up the field with flimsy intentions, there was an almost unspeakable dereliction of duty on Dublin's behalf.
For, as Stephen Bray drifted aimlessly towards the Dublin posts, it was as if the champions bestowed upon him a silent decree; take your point, son, we are already planning our next attack. They allowed him do so; Dublin snaffled another restart, claimed with almost impossible physical dexterity by Diarmuid Connolly, and McManamon claimed the first of his four opening act points from play.
In this moment, the contest was distilled into its meaningful form in terms of advancing this year's All-Ireland championships; a Leinster title may have been up for grabs but, in essence, this game was about fine-tuning the best available options for Dublin to retain their Sam Maguire.
GAA Newsletter
Within moments of that settling rebuff to Bray's point; the contest was brutally consigned to a burial plot.
Meath, sadly, brooked no argument in their attempts at their Sisyphean task; indeed, they were busy enough trying to counter their own deficits as much as Dublin's advantages while the game was still technically alive. Their late switch, bringing Graham Reilly into a defensive position, infected their defence with a virus instead of immunising it from the blue wave of attacks; by the time they had cottoned on to who they were supposed to be marking, Dublin were out of sight.
The sense in which the more competitive aspect of this match was played out within blue ranks was neatly parcelled by the delivery of the opening goal which effectively killed this contest; blue-clad supporters argued at half-time as to which Brogan brother delivered the decisive blow.
Those who watched more closely would have been enthused by the clinical intervention of McManamon, for, as Jack McCaffrey injected pace to the move, it was the so-called 'supersub' who incised the precision.
This pair, aside from McManamon's start the last day against Wexford, have been deemed unworthy of starts in this Dublin side this summer; yesterday was their declaration of intent as the unseemly rush to squeeze into Jim Gavin's starting 15 gains momentum.
It is Gavin's genius that, as much as he inculcates the familiar mantra that names are more important than numbers, the names themselves remain excessively obsessed by wanting to be numbered amongst that coveted first 15.
As he outlined in this newspaper only two days ago, McManamon's cheery nature doesn't absolve him from a feral desire which screams the intent that, as much as he wants to achieve for his team, he also wants to achieve for himself.
Balancing this steely determination of the individual to provide the best for himself to dovetail with the best for his team is the underlying motivation of this Dublin team and its unflappable commander.
McManamon's determination was writ large; his scores from play, not to mention his goal assist, rendered redundant his erstwhile status as that of a mere "squad player."
As he tore up and down the flanks, his work-rate matched his score accumulation; more naturally talented players may have surrounded him,but the Jude's man owned the afternoon.
A man who was once better known for providing the unpredictable was now revelling in delivering a predictable, steady supply of coherence to a fluid, seamless attacking display of brio and invention. Names and numbers flitted in and out of the action in a blue blur but the overall momentum remained unchallenged; the individual and collective drive always retained its formidable intent.
Trash time came early but Dublin never descended to its perils; hence, Paul Flynn tracked back 70 yards to make a tackle that, in the context of the contest, was utterly meaningless.
But, in the context of this team, it meant everything. Both to him as an individual and to his team, as a guiding light to the incessant demands required of every unit in this extraordinary collective.
This was a comfort blanket; their greater challenge will be to negotiate he defensive blanket from northern foes. You more than suspect they will have the answers.

Puffy Taco Shells
Chef John
Ingredients18 m servings 128
- Adjust
- Metric
Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Mix masa harina, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl using your fingertips until dough forms and pulls away from the sides, 2 or 3 minutes. Form into a firm, flattened ball and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Keep dough balls covered with a damp paper towel as you fry them, one at a time.
- Place dough ball between 2 sheets of plastic or a split open zip top bag. Flatten to form a small circle about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, slide in the first circle. Very carefully baste hot oil over the top of the shell with a spoon to keep oil circulating over the top surface. When shell has puffed (after about 15 seconds), cook another few seconds and flip it over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat for each shell.
- When shells are still warm and pliable, gently push down puffed tops to create room for the fillings and slightly crease the shells for folding.
- Fill with your favorite taco fixings and serve while shells are still warm.
- Cook's Note:
- You can also deep-fry the shells at 350 F (175 degrees C) for about 90 seconds.
- For the best results, make the dough and use it right away. I've tried to make it ahead of time, but the tortillas didn't seem to puff up nearly as much.
- Partner Tip
- Reynolds® parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.
