non-sport cards and card collecting.
Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.
The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426).
The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets":
* League Leaders (10 cards)
* World Series highlights (10 cards)
* Highlights (11 cards)
* MVP's (16 cards)
* Checklists (7 cards plus several variations)
* Team cards (xx cards)
* Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards)
* Managers (xx cards)
* Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards)
* Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589)
1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete.
MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes!
Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced.
More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat
Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal were the two left standing with the champions trophies, but they weren't the only winners from the 2013 US Open. Let's take a look at this year's best dressed, as determined by your faithful Tennis Warehouse bloggers.
Ladies first. First up, we should start with the champion herself. Karly found herself partial to the night look of Serena Williams. I can't help but think of ballerina when I look at her Heathered V-Neck Dress. I think it's the flouncy skirt on the dress and snug leotard-type top. The night version wins out with its pop of pink on a greyish-blue base.
Laura Robson and Maria Kirilenko in adidas by Stella McCartney Barricade impressed Brittany and Jason (yes, the guys weighed in, too!). Brittany liked the beige top to ground the ultra bright orange skirt and shoes. Jason is a big Kirilenko fan, and I have to admit, if someone can pull off an entirely neon orange outfit, it's Kirilenko.

I've finished the tablecloth. But its going to be a gift, so I'll leave posting with proper blocked FO for now. Suffice to say blocking did do it's wonders and I'm very proud. The soysilk yarn smelt funny when wet. Worse than wet wool. Chemical, like paint.
So on to the next project - Forecast using the yarn above. It's not the colour I expected, but nice enough. I cast on during knitting cinema on saturday and I'm already into the fourth pattern repeat. I best get balling that final skien.
Also, my boyfriend's mum has asked me to knit a balaclava. The only information I have is that it is for a child in year 5 (10 year old) and that it should have a full open face, not just a small slat for eyes. I figured black aran weight. Patternwise, I think I'll just work a top-down hat but keep going for longer, casting off central third (or half?) stitches for face and rejoining in round for a ribbed neck.
Apparently my knitterati entry was a runner up. I didn't know I was even shortlisted, so it was a lovely surprise. My prize was some sock yarn and a felted bag, both beautiful. Check out the pictures of the finalists - the winning piece is amazing.
I've had a pattern published in Yarn Forward, but am yet to get my hands on a copy - anyone seen it?

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Jan. 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that it has mitigated multiple SYN, GET and ICMP floods directed against a variety of trading websites operated by London-based Henyep Capital Markets, a leading international online trading and financial services company.
The initial DDoS attack caused performance issues on multiple Henyep trading websites for 24 hours. Company management did not respond to the DDoS attackers' demand for a ransom in exchange for ending the attack, and instead engaged Prolexic. The company's mitigation engineers restored access to all services on the sites within minutes after routing traffic through Prolexic's global scrubbing centers where malicious traffic was removed.
"Financial services companies like Henyep and their mission critical online services continue to be favorite targets of DDoS attackers," said Prolexic's President, Stuart Scholly. "It is vitally important to have DDoS mitigation services in place from a proven, experienced provider with the global resources and bandwidth capable of handling attacks well in excess of 50 Gpbs.
Prolexic DDoS mitigation engineers in the U.S. quickly identified the initial attack as a SYN flood followed by multiple GET floods. The attack campaign peaked at 35.30 Mbps (bits per second), 8.10 Kpps (packets per second), and 122.00 Kconn (connections per second) over two days. Prolexic mitigation engineers were monitoring the attacks and counteracting the perpetrator's changing attack vectors throughout the campaign. As a result, the attackers were unable to take down the Henyep site, nor disrupt services despite the length of the attack.
Recently, DDoS attackers tried to take down Henyep's trading operations again with a 30 Mbps ICMP flood and GET flood without success due to Prolexic DDoS protection. Throughout 2012, Henyep, like many other financial services companies, has continued to be the target of DDoS attackers, but Prolexic's DDoS mitigation services have prevented any downtime.
"The fact that Prolexic protects some of the biggest banks in the world gives us confidence in their DDoS mitigation expertise," said Henyep's director of business development and operations. "We can be confident in protecting our clients' trading activities and access to personal financial information with Prolexic. A high level of customer service is critical to our business and Prolexic DDoS protection helps us ensure 24/7 uptime."
To learn more, the full Henyep case study can be downloaded from www.prolexic.com/henyep.
According to data published last week in Prolexic's Q4 2012 Global DDoS Attack Report, financial services, e-Commerce and software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies were targeted with high bandwidth DDoS attacks in excess of 50 Gbps in the fourth quarter. Over the three-month period, Prolexic logged more attacks than ever before against its global client base and predicts the scale and diversity of DDoS attacks will continue to increase. A complimentary copy of the report is available for download at www.prolexic.com/attackreports.

40. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionraspberryjuice Mar 24, 2010 8:22 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
I had a couple of quick questions regarding RAID and best disk set up on a PC for my requirements, if anybody had the time to help......
1st question: I mainly edit 3 - 4 minute video shorts to music. I film on an EOS7d and a Sony Camcorder (HDV). I do this as a hobby not professionally or for pay. My main requirement for RAID is a belt and braces approach for ensuring that my original video files and photos never get lost. I've just had a NAS expire that wasn't RAID so was considering replacing it with one that was.
Given that I only do this for fun - I was thinking of storing all my video and photo content on a NAS with four 2TB disks (RAID 1) and then copying across to my PC only the files that I need to perform an edit. I've seen the Synology 410j which appears like it might do the trick.
If I then lose my work in progress on the PC - it is no big deal (annoying - but as I'm doing this as a hobby I could live with losing WIP as long as my original files are always protected).
Does this sound like a sensible thing to do - given I don't really think I need the cost of a dedicated RAID card on a PC and I will use the NAS for other things - like music for my Sonos system etc?
2nd question: I have a reasonable spec PC - but think I made a mistake with my hard disk set up. Basically, if all my content is protected on my NAS, I just want the fastest performance for editing and from the built in disks on my PC. Clearly if I can get RAID cheaply on the PC then great - but speed and stability is most important.
I currently have 1 x boot drive with a 250GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE.
I then have 2 x 2TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 32MB CACHE in RAID 0 (stripe)
Basically I'd like to speed up the editing process on the PC. I have i7 920, 12GB CORSAIR XMS3 TRI-DDR3 1333MHz, ASUS® P6T WS PROFESSIONAL, 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX285 PCI EXPRESS, Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit and the hard disks I mentioned above.
The maximum size of content for an edit consists of 80gb worth of Cineform files. So if I copy that from a NAS to the PC I can then start an edit. (I use Adobe Creative Suite 4.1)
What disk configuration should I get on my PC?
How should I structure them?
What files should I put where?
Happy to pay for small SSDs for boot drive etc if that makes a difference?
Or perhaps Velociraptors?
The main reason for making the editing as quick as possible is that I have limited time. This is a hobby and I have a real job so need to get edits done as quickly as possible.
Thanks in advance if anybody has the time to advise / help.
41. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionSimonGTXT Apr 24, 2010 7:05 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Well Thankyou Harm, that is the most useful info on RAID I have found on the net. Unfortunately the net also led me to a page where someone stated that 'editing HD movies in APP is futile without RAID'. Reading through everyone's posts on here, this is obviously an untrue or old statement so I'm looking to find some trustworthy advice on the best setup for editing my daughter's HD .mov's shot on a Kodak V1273 at 1280 x 720. Data Rate 7.14 mbits/sec. I currently have:
Mobo: AsRock 4Core1333 viiv
CPU: LGA775 Intel Pentium Dual Core E6300 (2.80 stock, it's at 3.6 atm)
RAM: 1GB Ballistix Tracer, 1GB GEIL 667 (DDR2)
GPU: Sapphire Vapor-x HD5770 1GB
HDD: 2xWDC WD1600JS-75NCB2 (Western Digital 160gb, one has had a lot of use and is slower and noisier than the other)
1xST3808110AS (Seagate 80GB)
This is obviously inadequate to edit HD movs and I am looking to upgrade next month. I only have the trial version of APP 4.0 CS4 and I will be purchasing a licence key and Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with my (son's!) new build.
I am looking at upgrading the MOBO, RAM and HDD's to:
Mobo: ASUS P5Q Deluxe P45 £129.99 GBP
Ram: PC2-8500+ OCZ Reaper (2x2GB) £ 99.99
HDD's: 4x WDC Black 640GB 6GB/s £ 54.99 each so I think £119.96?
My must have's for Mobo are: LGA775 (I don't have the money go i5 or i7), e-SATA and good o.c.-ing abilities/stability. The ASUS has these.
I don't have the money to move onto i7 yet and even i5 boards with SATA 6GB/s connections are too pricey with the CPU.
My budget is only about £ 450.
I think the question is:
1. Does anyone know if there is / should I wait for a board that's LGA775 DDR2 e-SATA (e-SATA is a must) with 6GB/s SATA or would my upgraded system above without 6GB/s be sufficient when set out right?
2. If the above system is fine, would I be better or worse off RAID-ing for performance?
Thankyou Everyone your input will be greatly appreciated.
42. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionHarm Millaard Apr 24, 2010 8:02 AM (in response to SimonGTXT)
Even though you will not directly benefit with only 4 GB of memory, I suggest you get Win7-64 Pro, not Ultimate and certainly not the 32 bit version.
1. Chances that new 775 boards will be introduced are negligent. It is too dated. Your selected board will do for HDV/DV. For AVCHD the CPU is the major bottleneck.
2. No sense in raiding those 4 disks.
43. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionSimonGTXT Apr 24, 2010 8:24 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Thankyou for your quick response.
Judgding by your reply to mine and other posts, 1) I am understanding that the best way forward would be to go for the upgraded system and forget about SATA 6gb/s until I can afford i7 end of this year. I need to upgrade my Mobo as the one I have is very unstable. 2) I am also understanding the best way to set up my HDD's would be:
C: 640 GB for just OS & Programs
D: 640 GB for just pagefile, media cache and previews
E: 640 GB for just project save files, indexed and conformed/peak files
F: 640 GB for just original media
And of course change Win7Ultx86 for Win7Prox64
3) I'm understanding that a big thing is for these hard drives to be empty and not full up of my backups: I have a 500 GB external and a 500 GB WDC Black coming for external backups. I'll only have the time to use the computer a few hours every week but (external) backup is/has always been big for me.
Are my understandings correct?
Thankyou again Harm, I know that you do this for free and in your own time and I really appreciate your help.
44. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionHarm Millaard Apr 24, 2010 8:34 AM (in response to SimonGTXT)
You are completely correct, both in your disk setup, and the backups.
45. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionSimonGTXT Apr 24, 2010 9:45 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
That's great thankyou very much
46. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionECBowen Apr 26, 2010 8:56 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Excellent explanation. A few things to consider now are the changes that the tapeless workflow has brought to video. Before the tapeless codecs backing up video raws and material was really based on production time and environment more than anything. The enterprise world had to maintain the type of data recovery for ages while the video world could just go back to tape. Now video has entered the enterprise world with the amount of data to backup or maintain and the length of archive. I have many clients who have to maintain raws and or at least finished projects for 6 months to a year period of time. A standard project could be 56GB to 100GB of data that has to be stored with the current codecs. What that means is redundant arrays are for more suitable now to the video world as they have always been for the Enterprise community.
Raid 6 has one big advantage over raid 5 or raid 3. The read speed is significantly faster than raid 5 and the redundancy is far more secure than raid 3. The only requirement is as Harm said the hardware controller. In the tapeless world, editors are not capturing anymore. They are simply copying files from one media to another. This limits the write draw back to raid 6 due to the sequential write that happens most of the time with this method and the higher access time that raid 6 has is negligible when copying few large files from another media that is far slower than the raid anyway. What you need in a tapeless workflow is read speed during the edit workflow which raid 6 has in abundance. The render time writing files is based on the codec and often does not have much performance gain when the write is over 150 to 200 MB/s. You also have the best level of data protection allowing up to 2 disks to fail simultaneously and still retain the array in degraded status. If you keep a hot spare available then your chance of complete failure is near minimized to a complete environmental failure such as a power hit. That can be also limited by software backups to a NAS or E-Sata drive that is only connected to power when needed.
The raid controller is the component though that decides the level of performance and data protection you get. Areca is one of many controller manufacturers that you can get. The performance hit over 50% capacity Sata drives have also happens in raid arrays depending on the controller and the level of raid. Many of the $400 to $600 raid controllers will give you full performance throughout the entire raid volume in a Raid 0 but will still get the 50% volume capacity performance drop with Raid 5 or 6. That also changes when manufacturers update their firmware and change their controller cpu's. The Atto controllers use to be able to maintain performance over the entire array in raid 5 or raid 6 arrays but now have the performance drop with their current chips and firmware. Areca's mid range controllers have always had that performance hit but evidently their higher end controllers that harm has do not. The best controllers you can get are always SAS controllers. Those are basically SCSI controllers which handle Sata drives. SCSI controllers were always able to maintain the performance in an array which was why they were so dominant a decade ago. Now they use the same controller type with Sata drives. The reason some are able to maintain performance and some are not depending on the raid level has to do with the firmware and how it communicates with the controller on each HDD itself. That is really what you are paying for besides the extra ram when buying the $1000+ controllers. Also the raid management software and driver has some affect on this as well. The raid management software affects how efficient and accurate your redundancy is maintained and your rebuild success. It also can decide if your raid controller can get confused in a few scenarios and corrupt your raid 5. I have not seen a raid 6 get corrupted yet so not sure if that can happen. Either way I use and push my client's toward Intel's SAS controllers. They have the new SAS 600 models and they perform as good as Areca or Atto since they all use LSI chips. They have the best management software out that I have seen and they are normally half the price of ATTO controllers. Just some further information to help with deciding what is best for your situation and editing.
47. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionbaumanico Jul 19, 2010 4:20 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
I followed your advices and configured my media system with WD Black 2TB disks, but the data transfer seems still slow...
As for the other it worked well with your configuration and macbook pro, I have to conclude that the problem is the external case -
I use Raidsonic dual bay with USB 2.0
Can you recommend any other external case, I could use (2-4 bay) with FireWire 800 (as eSata to Macbook does not work to my understanding)
48. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionHarm Millaard Jul 19, 2010 4:43 AM (in response to baumanico)
The slowness is caused by using USB2, that is about the worst connection to use when you want speed.
Isn't there a way to get eSATA on a MAC by using a PCI Express card to eSATA connector? Or would this be your solution: http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid.cfm

Harm, just a comment on that particular 4 TB external drive with the two big Hitachi's . I have a new one on a workstation (win 7 x64) with the eSata connection and am not real impressed so far. It tested at 160 MB/s with HD Tach, but in real life seems to be much slower. Transfers to it from another internal 1 TB SATA drive were only 64 MB/s, which is much slower than going from my other internal drives to each other, or across our 1 Gb network.
I'm not sure if something else is wrong somewhere in this setup, but he probably should get other opinions before deciding. If it's something else on this particular ws, then it still could be a very good solution. But it would be good to hear from others on that drive too...

As for the other it worked well with your configuration and macbook pro, I have to conclude that the problem is the external case -
I use Raidsonic dual bay with USB 2.0
Can you recommend any other external case, I could use (2-4 bay) with FireWire 800 (as eSata to Macbook does not work to my understanding)
Try looking at this one as an example
Here is a great vendor that caters to Mac but they only sell units with drives in place.

I didn't want to make another topic so decided I'll make my try here:
At the moment the only disk I have is WD Caviar 160GB and some WD Passport 500GB for backup. I was wondering which option would be better to speed up my computer a little:
SSD 30GB for cache files or 2x500GB RAID0 for cache files?
Or maybe the best option would be to buy these 2 500GB WD Black and then:
C: 160GB for OS and programs
D: 500GB for pagefile, media cache
E: 500GB for project files/all other media
F: 500GB G-Drive e-Sata for Backup (which I want to buy too)
I'd be very thankful for all your answers.

Just yesterday I noticed that a 80 GB SSD is € 205 here. A 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 is € 55. I rather have 4 x 1 TB F3's than a single SSD. About 50 times the storage capacity for approximately the same price and around twice the performance of a single SSD. That sounds like a no-brainer to me.

54. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionsarmour2 Aug 1, 2010 3:50 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Harm, I agree very much with your layout and we followed your suggestions a while back and went to single drives on our 3 workstations and have had much better stability and peace of mind. However, as much as we would have loved to have put an Areca RAID card in each ws for our backup, our non-profit budget just would not handle it.
I have opted for another cheap solution that could be a good tradeoff for others too, and would like to hear your comments on it:
We really did not want to use more than four TB drives in each ws (except in our CS5 ws), so opted for having just a boot/prog drive, with another drive for data and the rest. We have been using the other two TB drives as mirrors (RAID1), through a software solution (MirrorFolder) and have had well over a half a year of stability and satisfaction. When one of the OS drives failed, MirrorFolder automatically kicked in at reboot and allowed us to boot off the OS mirror and install another drive very quickly. We lost almost no time and no work.
I realize this is a tradeoff and the ideal would be for the hardware to handle the RAID1, but am offering it as a very nice and cheap alternative to other ways. It has given us great peace of mind and real confidence, especially when backing up to an external 4 TB eSata every now and then. We take a slight performance hit under Win7 x64, but nothing that was enough to bring CS3, CS4 or CS5 to their knees yet.The newest version of MirrorFolder (5,0,252) is very nice and leverages multicores and is quite stable under Win 7 x64. We love being able to mirror an occasional odd project folder at any time with it, too.
55. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionHarm Millaard Aug 1, 2010 3:54 AM (in response to sarmour2)
Motherboards often have some limited raid capability with the ICHR10 chip. That is a perfectly feasible solution for either raid0 or raid1. You have to set it up in BIOS, but once done, you do not need to get a separate software utility. There is hardly any performance penalty, and very likely much less than with a software utility. Raid5 is usually crappy on the ICHR10 chip and will lead to significant performance penalties and requires some serious tuning.
56. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionsarmour2 Aug 1, 2010 4:43 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Maybe someone would be willing to do a "low end" test on the difference between the two? Since this is about the cheapest and least time consuming (from a backup standpoint) of all the "security" solutions, I'm sure there might be a number of others interested in this as well. The new feature set of MirrorFolder is pretty complete, so it could be revealing to those of us with built-in RAID chipsets (but using software solutions instead). MF is especially easy for adding drives later on.
I forgot to mention that MirrorFolder 5 is a beta version I think, so it might be a bit more difficult to obtain for testing without a license.
After checking, this was in the email TechSoft that sent out:
MirrorFolder v5.0 (beta) is now available for download and testing from the link given below. You may use your existing v4.x serial number to install it freshly or over your existing MF v4.x. You may also use the temporary serial number "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" (two computers) to install it on maximum two different computers for evaluation. However, this temporary serial number will expire on 5th Oct, 2010.
To save you work if you wanted to know what is different from the past, here's their info on what's new:Here are major changes in MF v5.0:
* Added support for copying open files using Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service APIs in all synchronization modes.
* Added option to perform synchronization in a separate thread with different priority.
* Added option to perform multi-threaded synchronization on multi core/CPU systems.
* Added option to send email notification on error/warning, and successful synchronization/archive operation.
* The main user interface program now shows volume label of source/mirror drives that are not currently connected. But it still uses volume ID to identify source/mirror drives.
* Supports for selection of network drive/folder as source to mirror on another network or local drive.
* Added command line option to change volume for the mirror folder to mirror it on a new drive.
* Added option to encrypt ZIP files.
* It now automatically use 64-bit ZIP file format if ZIP file size grows beyond 2 GB.
* Added option to synchronize when user remains idle for the specified time.
* Support for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000 has been removed.
* Many other small changes and improvements.
I'd love to see someone test this, as it might save them money (or convince them to buy something useful and cheap that is a real help and very easy to use).

Great posts and some great answers out there. I am just getting my NLE machine up and running and will be doing 5-10 min. segments shot with Canon 5DII in full HD. I have read most of haarm's threads as well as many other resources on RAID 0. Against some of the recommendations I have purchased 2 WD 1 TB Black drives that I want to set up in RAID 0. I will mostly be using PP and I read on Adobe's sys req that you needed RAID 0 for uncompressed.
-ASUS x58 Sabertooth
-I7 950 with mild OC 3.50
-12gb Ram
-Seagate 1 TB (os) sata
-2x 1 TB WD Black Caviar (I want to raid 0) sata
-2x optical drives sata
I can not for the life of me get the RAID to work with the ICHY10 mobo controller. Here are the steps I am following:
Boot to BIOS set sata to RAID 0
Go in to Matrix Drive Manager Make Raid Volume out of 2x WD 1 TB
Boot to Vista 64 disk
In disk manager of install I have the following;
DISC 0 1864 GB unspecified data
DISC 1 936 GB Main
I select the 1864, hit new, specify the size, format, than I get this:
DISC 0 1864 GB unspecified data
DISC 1 936 GB Main
I hit the install drivers link in the bottom left and load the ITCHY10 controller drivers from the mobo disc then put the windows disk back in and install too the smaller 1 TB drive. When windows reboots it hangs at the bios screen when it gets too SATA 4 every time for 30 seconds then it goes on to the windows screen with the scrolling green bar and freezes there. Any ideas? Do I even need RAID 0 or will it work using Haarm's 3 disc set up? Remember it is all HD video I will be editing but not many tracks just lots of cuts.
Thanks in advance.

So you lose your sunglasses and look for them for an hour, finally in desperation you reach out to your friends and ask them if they have seen your sunglasses. You notice as you say this they are starring at your head not your eyes. Your hand quickly moves up to feel the top of your head and bumps into the "lost sunglasses"
Well no sooner did I ask this last question, I unplug the two RAID 0 drives and do a hard reboot as it was frozen. The boot up is still slow but different. It makes it through to the windows screen and says finishing installing windows. Maybe I wasn't patient enough the other 10 times or maybe it was that I unplugged the 2 RAID drives, or a mixture of both.

During the post, you have the drive detection and smart requests. If a drive does not respond initially then the bios will continue to send the requests until the timeout period has been exhausted. That time out period is normally set to 30 seconds by default in the bios. You can lower than to 5 or 10 seconds if you want to. However what this means is you have a drive, likely number 4 that is not responding to the bios. You need to check the cables to that drive and try it on a different sata port. You might have a bad drive.

"Harm" says: ....
The RAID level for paranoids in a hurry. It delivers the same redundancy as RAID 1, but since it is a multilevel RAID, combined with a RAID0, delivers twice the performance of a single disk at four times the cost, apart from the controller. The main advantage is that you can have two disk failures at the same time without losing data, but what are the chances of that happening?"
Raid 10 deserves a little more love,
Raid 3 is impratical for "MOST" users even with Hardware Raid controllers, unless like you said, you get a mortgage to buy Areca,...
-> Any "parity"-based Raid lvl, such as 3,5,6,50,60,... can NOT compare to the straight out "sustained" performance of the multilevel-"KISS" Raid10 (aka 0+1, 1+0).
Actually, "Parity" Raid levels historically, were not meant for "great" performance, as much as they were designed for massive storage solutions. -(ya know, back in the day when disk storage was NOT cheap !).
-> ie. with an 8-Disk Raid10, now you will accurately get 4x the performance of a single disk at only twice the cost. (4-Disks x 2)
Everyone knows Raid10 is the best Raid for "performance" -especially when you need to consider "SUSTAINED" writing,(aka monstrously huge 1080p-style video files, ...).
-> The other obvious thing to consider is that Raid10 does not suffer from performance degradation when it needs to rebuild the array, in fact, Raid10 is virtually instantaneous, unlike the "parity"-based Raid's (aka 3,5, 6...) which can take literally hours, or even days to Build\rebuild while suffering from read/write performance degradation while it's re-building.
The only disadvantage to Raid10, and I do mean the only one, is that you have to consider purchasing twice the capacity required, but Raid10's resilience, performance, and redundancy far outweigh the initial cost of the disks, especially considering the cost of Disk space today ?! comon !
For example, I recently bought (some el-cheapo) (8) Hitachi Deskstar SATA2(7200rpm) 2-Terabyte per/disk for just over $100/each.
In a Hardware Raid10 configuration I easily get ~600 MBytes/sec read/write, (using BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test Utility), and that ain't bad. I also could lose up to half my Disks without worrying about any performance hit whatsoever, at any time.
-> Lastly, "ANY", and "ALL" decent hardware RAID contoller's have at the least, a Raid 10, <- It is FUTURE proof.
In other words, no I do not use Areca, but even if I did, I would use Raid 10 for the obvious reasons.
But also, other hardware Raid controllers, such as Adaptec, or LSI/MegaRAID/3ware, ....can also fit most Video-editing users' needs at half-the price of that Areca.
Either way, Raid 10 should be given primary consideration, before having to consider Raid 3, 5, 6 ...

63. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionHarm Millaard Nov 25, 2010 9:48 AM (in response to RoboGuighes)
I will follow your argument:
Situation 1: Areca ARC 1880/4GB $ 1050, 12 x 2 TB disks in Raid30 @ $ 100 = $ 1200, total cost $ 2250, net storage 20 TB, sustained r/w speed 850 MB/s+
Situation 2: Adaptec 52445 $ 1350, 20 x 2 TB disks in Raid10 @ $ 100 = $ 2000, total cost $ 3350, net storage 20 TB, sustained r/w speed 850 MB/s+
Who says that Areca is expensive? And the Areca has 4 GB cache, the Adaptec only 512 MB.
The conclusion is that in effect the Areca saves you $ 1100 investment. Your suggestion means you pay $ 1100 extra for the paranoid idea that more than two disks will fail at the same time, and I leave out the extra costs for an additional case and PSU to house and power all those 20 disks.
Draw your own conclusions.
with an 8-Disk Raid10, now you will accurately get 4x the performance of a single disk at only twice the cost. (4-Disks x 2)
Where did you go to school? How much is 8 x $ 100? How much more expensive is that than $ 100? In my calculus class one would say only EIGHT times.
You get the same performance at TWICE the price of a raid0, or 4x the perfomance at EIGHT times the cost, would have been much more accurate.
Raid 3 is impratical for "MOST" users even with Hardware Raid controllers, unless like you said, you get a mortgage to buy Areca,...
Your solution is around 50% more expensive than the expensive Areca, so you better try to get a second mortgage as well.

Great thread(s) on RAID!
But, where and how do I set-up all my Adobe appz to use my RAID0?
Should I mount it as a folder, like /data? or as D: / ?
When using Premier with ONE HD for boot and appz and data, even if a 15K SAS, its so slow and frustrating!
I have 4 x SAS 15k Hitachi HDs for use in a RAID system and have them in a RAID0 at present as they are only 75GB each in size, but I will use RAID3 if it's a much better path. suggestions?

I understand. I must not have explained my question well. This is an old thread I thought may would help me out some. It's not have orignal thread.
I already have built my RAID0 (but could change to RAID3) and use Highpoint's RocketRaid 4320 hardware controller. My question has to do with how best to attach it (or any HD) to improve my video editing performance. I can attach the HD as a separate drive as in D: \ or I can mount it as a folder such as \data under C: . I am not sure which way would boost performance for editing video such as with Premier or Director.
Anyways, I was hoping someone could comment on this concern.
67. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionECBowen Nov 29, 2010 11:35 AM (in response to RoboGuighes)
You might want to check raid 5 and raid 6 performance results again with a standard enterprise level raid controller because things have changed. An 8 drive 7200 raid 5 array on a standard controller like the Intel raid controllers are sustaining 650Mb/s to 700MB/s depending on the drives used for both read and write. Raid 6 on the same controller is averaging 635MB/s to 650MB/s Read and 600MB/s Write with the same 8 drives. You are definitely accurate with the rebuild times although raid 5 and raid 6 rebuild now is down to an hour or 2 with the same controllers. The load is no longer an issue during rebuild as well due to background rebuild options currently. The benefit of raid 10 is the ability to run those arrays on cheaper controllers such as the onboard without having the rebuild penalty that you get running a parity raid. Also the integrity of the redundancy is not as good with parity raids on the onboard controller. However the money you save on the controller, you pay with the extra disks for a similar volume size. Add to that the fact it matters which disks fail with a raid 10 when 2 fail versus any 2 disks in a raid 6 and the old mantra of a raid 10 is no longer the case. That is why we propose parity raids versus raid 10.

Excellent post. I have learned much from this post. I have a much better appreciation of what I am planning to implement. I guess I am "paranoid on speed" as I plan on 1+0. Here is what I have planned:
OS drive: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive. I will be running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, not pro as recommended, as I purchased this at a very discounted rate.
Working drives: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3R HE103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive. I originally went with WD black, but read many issues with TLER. As such, I will be using the Spinpoint f3R (not F3) - I will pay a few dollars more for the higher grade. These will be configured in raid 1+0. Any issues with Samsung F3R running in Raid 1+0? I did not go with the WD RE4 due to the cost increase vs. Spinpoint.
The 1+0 will done using the MOBO (MSI XPower Big Bang) as now I understand there is not much advantage in a separate hardware controller for my situation. Here is what I do not quite understand yet after reading all the posts. As I will be running raid 1+0 on the 4 "working / storage" drives, not the OS drive, is all the "configuration" data stored in the BIOS, or is some stored in the OS? As I am not planning on using any redundancy Raid on the OS drive, will this cause issues if my OS drive crashes and needs to be rebuilt? Will it lose pertinent data needed to keep the raid integrity intact? I will be doing an Acronis backup monthly on the OS drive however. Will this be adequate?
Thanks in advance.
69. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questionECBowen Dec 16, 2010 3:47 PM (in response to sldwaa)
The raid MetaData is stored on the drives in the volume. This is how you can migrate raids from 1 system to another even changing controllers sometimes. Although the changing controller part is sketchy and may not work. It depends what chip the previous controller was using and the drivers for the new raid controller. They have to allow importing foreign configurations. So to answer your question, the raids will be fine if the OS fails.

Looking for recommendations on RAID set up:
I have CS5 running on an I7 OC to 3.3 mhz with 12 gb of RAM, Vista 64. I just lost one HDD out of my three drive set up. 1= 1TB non-raid OS and programs 2=1TB raid 0 vol.1 3=1TB raid 0 vol.2 (I know raid 0 is bad) I had minimal loss of data but now I am ready to take the next step. I usually only edit about 3-10 minute shorts all in HD from the canon 5D mkII. This usually translates to 60 minutes of HD footage and 100 stills needing to be used at a time for any project. I am looking for a cheap but fast and secure way to store my projects. I am thinking about an areca or adaptec controller with 4 disks in RAID 10 in an external enclosure that could be updated later. I would be able to move all projects and file to a single non raid external/ NAS after completion. I went with RAID 10 because of the rebuild time and redundancy yet it will offer me the speed of my RAID 0 set up that failed. My questions are on how to best implement this solution.
1. What kind of actual I/O speed do I need for editing in full resolution? Short projects so render times and read write were never an issue with RAID 0.
2. How does the External Attached Storage work? i.e. external box has it's own controller or do I need a controller in the WS as well or can I just plug it straight to the eSATA port on my ASUS Sabertooth X58 mobo? I am getting confused by the port multipliers and the HBA's described on the ARECA site.

You wrote: "Motherboards often have some limited raid capability with the ICHR10 chip. That is a perfectly feasible solution for either raid0 or raid1." So for a moment I thought: 'not for Raid10'. Then I red your start: "For RAID levels without parity check like Raid0, Raid1 and Raid10 software controllers are quite good with a fast PC." So this PiaH is happy. Furthermore, googling on the string "RAID 10 on ICH10R" did not result in a lot of troubles, on the contrary, it seems to work well, the most critical remark I found was at a 6disk RAID 10 on ICH10R: "It will work, but you will not see the full potential out of the raid array without a dedicated hardware based raid card."
I would like to ask you the following, given the fact 1) the building business where I operate is extremely bad and my budget is very tight after buying ASRockX58Extreme6, Intel-i7-950, 3x4GB KHR1600, Seasonic750W, C300-SSD forOS/Programs and Win7Ult and 2) I am mainly working with Photoshop but sometimes want to touch video-editing to broaden my market:
I'm opting for the 4-disk config from your Guideline with E: and F: in raid0. This is actually your 3-disk config with the Pagefile on the E:, isn't it? Then I would like to set up my D: (media, projects) as a 4 disk RAID 10 on ICH10R. With 4x 1T-SpinpointF3-disks of €50 (or 4x 320GB-spinpointsF4 of €35), this will only cost €200 for 2TB (or €140 for 640GB). Given the fact that I am a poor Paranoïd in a Hurry, does this make some sense, and can I even make this crazier with a 6diskRAID10? Or did I overlook something

I looked for it in disk management only to discover the two partition appearing as unallocated, I was really surprised with this.I took it to my computer shop, who only told me that one of the drivers have failed. The drives are just over one year old, so I took them apart and tested them and formatted only to discover that they were working, but in the process lost all the data that was on the drives. I put them back again to raid 0 and deleted the partitions which appeared again despite the formatting. I then created new current partitions and everything started to waork again. A couple of days they were unallocated again, but this time I selected offline in disk management and then online and the partition came back again.
Now the major problem is that when I am editing in Premiere CS5, if I leave it idle and come back after about some time the Premeire will crash and I have to relaunch it again, or the TB 32 will just go to sleep and disappear even in computer management which means I will have to switch it off and on again for it to come back to life. I never had these problems with Vista biz 64, so I am not sure what really is causing that. In vista I had two non raid internal HDDs.
But anyway I have decided to move on and ditch the TB32 because it appears to be slow.. not sure but when I copy files from my internal raid the speeds ranges between 130Mbps t0 60 at times. Since my workstation HP XW6600 is limited to 2 3.5" drives I can change it to 3 2.5" then I can use 1 for C drive and then RAID 0 for the other two, maybe hardware if I get a decent card. Externally I will haul my current 4 1.5s tb to create RAID 5 with a total of 4.5tbs which I will partition appropriately. The next thing now is to get a decent Raid 5 enclosure and the one I can afford is listed HERE . A good enclosure which can oprotect my data in case of power cut is greatly appreciated, because I am always thinking that the TB32 might have suffered a power cut and corrupted my data.
My system have got dual quad xeon (8 virtual cores) 24GB RAM and startech (silicon) card for esata and a MatroX RT X2 and GTX 285 2GB, Win 7 Pro and CS5 PP.
78. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questiondreinz Mar 7, 2011 12:34 AM (in response to Shadreck Rukweza)
Hey Ham,
Thanks for all your hard work and help on the forum. Great info. Now I come to you for some help and recommendation for performance/protection and backup solution. I am editing with Premiere Pro & After Effects CS5 using AVCHD from my GH2. I have a 27" iMac 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7 16GB Ram 1067 MHZ DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 4850.
Currently I have:
- a RAID 0 set up with a 2TB Lacie 2big Quadra on a FireWire 800 for editing video (Media Files, Scratch Disk)
- a 1TB Lacie Rugged XL for Time Machine backup
- a 2TB Internal Hitachi 7200RPM HD that stores my (OS, Applications, Personal Files, Project Files) with 400GB used up so far (plan to keep that to 1TB max since I've been told it bogs down your computer once you got past the half way mark of space)
However, something doesn't feel right to me about this set up. Not sure what it is.
I have been doing tons of research and I'm debating if I need to get something else. And came up with this list. Or even doing an OWC Turnkey Upgrade (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/iMac_2010_27/add_eSATA) and adding an eSTATA port. Do you think this is necessary for the type of editing I'm doing with AVCHD and I won't be doing 10 tracks.
New list:
120 GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD (OS & Applications) --> as my internal HD (OWC Turnkey Upgrade replacement)
Elite-Al Pro Performance RAID 0+1 | 2.0TB Stripe+Mirror (2000GB+2000GB) (Media/Projects & Previews/Exports)
- and then once that is full I was thinking of swapping HD's and storing it manually with some internal drive cases (http://www.hudzee.com/)
- then use thisNewerTech Voyager Q- Quad Interface SATA 2.5" & 3.5" Hard Drive Docking Solution to see what is on the backup drives later on
Where would Pagefile and Media Cache go?
Mercury Elite-Al Pro RAID SAFE 2TB (1TB x 2) 7200RPM 64MB (to back up personal files)
I'm a little lost and confused. I just want something that offers speed, reliability and backup. Nothing over kill. Just to get the job done.
79. Re: To RAID or not to RAID, that is the questiondreinz Mar 17, 2011 10:04 PM (in response to dreinz)
Can someone please help me out with my RAID/BACKUP solution and answer the above message posting. PLEASE! AND THANK YOU!

whitealbum necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 153 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
RugPeople.com & RugPeople.co.uk
I took over a long established Oriental carpet wholesale business from my father and basically took it online, specializing in large Oriental carpets and mainly being a B2B business. It used to be oriental-carpets.com and will now be rugpeople.com (as well as other domains for seperate countries). We are now trying to reposition ourselves towards a B2C "all kinds of rugs" approach, getting away from the old fashioned Oriental carpet business. The website will be advanced in its database search and a fresh presentation online.
Online consumer market. We used to cater high end rugs of 7000-15000€ and now rather 1000€/rug. Couples in their late twenties to late forties who would also be buying at habitat and would shop online at amazon.com.
The logo (domain name and a stylized carpet/rug) should represent our website RugPeople.com. There will be other domains so the text in logo should be easily replaceable. The rug icon can be simple but clever. The words Rug&People should be of different boldness, possibly different colour and font too. Icon should either be left of text or incorporated into the text (e.g. like in the amazon logo) but not above text.
Nothing oriental, no flying rug with a man sitting on it etc. The fonts should not be serif.
The tagline "Believe in the perfect rug" should be incorporated under the domain name.
The logo should contain two colours, possibly one colour. Feel free to experiment with the colours but nothing to bright and candy like, rather earthy. Our previous colour was Pantone 465 (R:189, G:141, B:97) which could also be re-used.
Good examples:
http://www.namdar.com/carpets1.jpg (2 graphics not supposed to be rugs but give an idea of the stylized rug)
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/14032 (very nice)
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/5909 (not so much the font, but the icon, circled icon is also good option)
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/11168 (example of illustration incorporated into the logo)
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/13844 (good icon, also like the shadow and the 3D feel of it)

In its pulsating 14th-century heyday, this walled port was the region's richest city. Home to rich merchants and bejewelled courtesans, Famagusta's streets and markets echoed with Greek, Arabic, French, Hebrew – even Tamil and Norse.
The fabled setting for Shakespeare's Othello, it was also the seat for Jerusalem's exiled French Crusader kings. Later ruled by Italians and then conquered by the Ottomans, it testifies to a storied past. Within a few blocks stand a French Gothic cathedral, an Italian Renaissance palace, a Byzantine church, and an Ottoman madrassah-turned-restaurant.
"You have 2,000 years of historical architecture within reaching range. It's astonishing," says Allan Langdale, a Canadian art historian who recently made a documentary about Famagusta's beauty and plight.
Now, in a rare bicommunal project, the city's estranged Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities are uniting to preserve the ancient walled city's architectural treasures. So far, such efforts have been frozen by the politics of a divided Cyprus and a lack of funding.
Supporters hope the cooperative nature of the project will help overcome political hurdles, opening legal channels for foreign funding. In turn, they say, the project could boost reunification efforts for Cyprus by building confidence. In a symbolic step toward reunification, the crossing point on Nicosia's Ledra Street was to be opened Thursday.
"The people of Famagusta, Greek and Turkish Cypriots ... should join forces not only to save the past, but to build a future in a reunited Cyprus and Famagusta," Alexis Ghalanos, representative of Famagusta's displaced Greek Cypriot community, said at a meeting that launched the project in December.
"The value Famagusta holds for world heritage is greater than all those things that have separated us for so long," he added. "I sincerely hope that this [initiative] can prove a steppingstone to the opening of the city to Europe and to Cyprus as a whole."
Oktay Kayalp, Famagusta's Turkish Cypriot representative, agreed that a common front is needed to help the city that he sees as a historic bridge between East and West, Christianity and Islam.
The political atmosphere was transformed following February polls, when Greek Cypriots rejected their hard-line president and voted in moderate President Demetris Christofias. For the first time in decades, both sides have conciliatory leaders determined to restart peace talks that collapsed four years ago.
Famagusta lies on the internationally unrecognized, Turkish-controlled northern half of the island, which foreign experts say lacks money and expertise to preserve the monuments. Greek Cypriots, who head the island's internationally recognized government, generally frown at unsanctioned intervention in antiquities in northern Cyprus, which they do not have access to. For more than three decades, none of Famagusta's 45,000 former Greek Cypriot residents have enjoyed access to their homes in new Famagusta, a fenced-off ghost town known as Varosha.
Cyprus has been split along ethnic lines since 1974, when Turkey invaded the north in response to a Greek Cypriot coup engineered by the military junta then ruling Greece. Some 180,000 Greek Cypriots and 50,000 Turkish Cypriots were displaced.
The UN and world heritage groups are enthusiastic about preserving Famagusta's history. "It's a very important city to Western European history," says Costa Carras, a vice president of Europa Nostra, a Pan-European heritage foundation. "It will be an absolutely wonderful project for the EU and the EU ideal, because it will show culture can help bring people together."
Europa Nostra is chairing a conference April 4 in Paris at which Greek and Turkish representatives of Famagusta will address European parliamentarians and UNESCO officials about the need to preserve Famagusta's endangered architectural heritage. "The Stones of Famagusta," Mr. Langdale's film, will be screened. Eighteen international academics will then hold a two-day scientific workshop on the walled city. This event, supported by Mr. Ghalanos and Mr. Kayalp, will have a touch of historical romance thanks to the presence of a French descendant of the dynasty that ruled Cyprus during Famagusta's peak: the resplendently named Prince Philippe Roux de Lusignan.
Famagusta was a minor port until the First Crusade was launched in 1095 to wrest the Holy Land from Muslim control. Just 100 miles from the Syrian coast, it gained strategic importance. Its preeminence was sealed in 1291, when the Crusaders lost Acre, their last Holy Land outpost.
Christian refugees, merchants, and traders from the region flocked to Famagusta, transforming it into a key emporium for trade between Europe and the East.
The island was ruled by the Lusignans, an eccentric dynasty of French Crusader nobles, for three turbulent centuries until the Venetians took control in 1489. In 1571, after a 10-month siege, the 200,000-strong Ottoman Army captured Famagusta, expelling its Greek Cypriot inhabitants, who have never since lived within the old walled city. Ottoman rule ended in the late 19th century when Britain took over.
Langdale says there is no finer Medieval and Renaissance walled city, with the possible exception of Dubrovnik, Croatia. In "Journey Into Cyprus," the celebrated travel writer, Colin Thubron, enthused: "Nothing could be stranger for a lover of architecture than to walk through so many Medieval ages together."
Famagusta's honey-colored Venetian-era stone walls, nearly two miles long, are still intact, ranking among the world's finest examples of Renaissance military architecture. But no serious conservation has been done since independence in 1960. Some of the 150,000 cannonballs fired by the Ottomans at and over the Venetian-era stone ramparts remain visibly embedded in church walls. War was followed by centuries of neglect and weathering. The French Gothic cathedral of St. Nicholas, which Ottomans turned into a mosque, shows signs of erosion.
There is "real structural concern [for many of the city's monuments]," Langdale says. Chunks of floriated stonework, carved in medieval times, lie scattered around churches, while empty cans and pigeon droppings litter once-magnificent buildings.
Langdale points out a fragment of stone tracery that tumbled from a half-ruined 14th-century Carmelite Church since he last visited it only two months ago. "The neglect is amazing," he says.

I love the show! I was even prepared to leave my robotics meeting early to watch it.
Okay I found a thread wherein someone had supposedly been contacted by the producers of this programme to tell her story, but I am interested in finding out if anyone is a fan of the programme, watching it regularly.

It ALWAYS gives me goose-pimples...
Sometimes, i wonder if i am being influenced by the Narr. on Discovery
...He's kinda spooky all by himself...but all kidding aside...
There are 2 episodes that really stand out for me ( they were from last year) :
- The one where the family is living in Asia and the land was haunted, really bone-chilled me..;
- The other one was where a family had moved because one of their son's had cancer & they needed to be near the hospital... It turned out the * good deal* they had gotten on their new house had, in fact, been a former funeral home where the mortician did very twisted things to the corpses...
(Did anyone see these?)

Yes, I think I saw this. The young girl was the one spooked? The father refused to believe what was going on, but her mother believed...?
I'm going to start keeping track of each episode that I've seen.

Okay is it just me or does it seem like the episodes are mostly about possessions?
Admittedly it's been a few weeks since I've watched it, but it's like every other episode is about possessions.
YOU took the words right outta my mouth, Darlin'...

Anyhow, it was about a small boy who had a malovolent spirit as an imaginary friend and it sort of took him over. It made the hairs on me stand stright up. Did anyone see it?
Posted 05 January 2007 - 03:16 PM
I want to see if the show I watched last night is the same show your all talking about. It isn't "A haunting" it was called "Haunted"?
Anyhow, it was about a small boy who had a malovolent spirit as an imaginary friend and it sort of took him over. It made the hairs on me stand stright up. Did anyone see it?
Hello Cmraposa~
Out here in CALI it is on the Discovery channel and it is called A Haunting...
Yep, it was a re-run...MAN was freaky!!!...where did the picture come from that the little boy was holding in his hand??? Who was the pic of? That part confused me a little...was it MAN as a child?
The thing about A HAunting...is it is often left unresolved....(i.e the family moves) ....like last weeks episode where the "demon" was coming from out of an unknown backyard well...
The husband in the show was sitting in his car after he had discovered the well & suddenly the car turned on...
In front of the car, there was what looked like a horned man standing there looking at him...the husband said the eyes were entrancing...and then the car's engine started to rev, lurched forward and sped toward a tree. He stopped the car in time...
Afterword, the family had an exorcism done on the boy that was being possesed by a Catholic priest and then packed up and moved. Sometimes, i wonder if the new occupants that move into these places experience similar things OR do only certain families experience it...?! What do ya'll think?

Hi Mothers,
I am a first time mother. My LO is 5 months yesterday. She has always preferred my right breast and will nurse on that side longer and more efficiently. Due to this, I have noticed that my right side does not fill as quickly and is much smaller and softer. When she does nurse on that side she is only frustrated if I am not completely full on the left side. She will also either not finish the breast because she is frustrated that the let down isnt forceful enough or she already had enough on the right side. I have tried to up my supply by pumping but when it comes time to feed my left seems to not have enough milk. She only likes it when I am full. I have also tried mothers milk and lactation cookies, I drink water most of the day, and I still deal with this issue. When she was a newborn I think I had an oversupply so she got used to having a lot of milk. Now that she is 5 months things I guess have regulated. My question is what are the best practices to increasing milk supply on one side? Should I pump and let her be frustrated on the left side or should I let the breast fill and leave it alone and let it do what its going to do? Oh I forgot, if I start her on the right side she is completely satisfied with the right and does not usually want the left (sometimes she will take it) but if I start her on the left she always needs to switch to the right. My other question is, should I just block feed and not switch sides so that it gives time for the left side to fill up?
Thanks so much in advance for all your help.

Tye Tribbett / Tasha Cobbs / In association with WLIB
Thursday, August 8, 2013
7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
Although Tye Tribbett has toured and performed with some of the biggest artists in the secular world, including Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Elton John and Jill Scott, this GRAMMY nominated artist's musical talents lie in the realm of Gospel music. Tribbett passionately spreads the goodness of God through his music. His musical ministry's songs use the "buildups of rock power ballads, the slow strut of P-Funk and churchy, organ-driven call-and-response" to touch the hearts of many, according to The New York Times. With his solo debut at #1 on the Billboard Gospel chart, his album Fresh positions Tribbett to step forth boldly with a new message of renewal. According to the Washington Post, this "wondrous album" highlights Tribbett's songwriting skills as he wrote or co-wrote each song, showcasing a variety of powerful music, including the first single "Fresh." Tribbett's previous chart-topping albums, Victory Live! and Stand Out! featured his former musical ensemble and gospel choir, Greater Anointing.

When Tasha Cobbs took the stage at Northview Christian Church in Montgomery, Alabama in 2012, she did so neither as a nationally renowned vocalist, nor as a recording artist making her major-label debut. Instead, with microphone in hand, she ascended the platform prepared to do what she had done every week since her teenage years—lead the congregation into worship. It is no surprise then that the result of her effort, the album, Grace stands as a moving example of the raw power of a live worship experience. The eight-song project reveals Tasha at her best as a psalmist, songwriter, and minister.

All News Releases By Date
Upper Basin Cleanup "Roadmap" Released by EPA
Release Date: 08/28/2012
Contact Information: Mark MacIntyre / EPA-Seattle / 206-553-7302 / email@example.com
State of Idaho & Coeur d'Alene Tribe Concur on 30 year, $635 million plan.
(Seattle – August 28, 2012) A roadmap for the next 30 years of cleanup in the Upper Coeur d'Alene River Basin came into sharper focus today, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delivered the signed, written framework, called an Interim Record of Decision Amendment (RODA).
According to Dan Opalski, Director of EPA's Superfund Office in Seattle, the weighty document reflects increased activity in some areas and less emphasis on others, when compared to the July 2010 Proposed Plan.
"We listened closely to all perspectives about how to provide the greatest environmental and human health improvement while balancing the duration and costs," said EPA's Opalski. "This decision sets forth an ambitious, yet thoughtful and methodical approach to reducing risks from metals, making the Coeur d'Alene Basin an even safer, healthier place to live, work and play."
Prior to signature, the EPA received written concurrence from the State of Idaho and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe. Letters of support were also received from the State Of Washington, The Spokane Tribe, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). EPA worked closely with the Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission (Basin Commission) to hone the approach outlined in the RODA.
The Upper Basin cleanup is now expected to cost about $635 million over 30 years.
A RODA, or Record of Decision of Amendment, captures and documents fundamental changes to a cleanup plan. An amendment can reflect new information gathered as the cleanup progresses and can also set priorities based on cleanup goals and public input. This action selects cleanup work for the Upper Basin that was not included in the original Interim Record of Decision (ROD) signed in 2002.
The goals of the cleanup remain the same:
- To improve surface water quality,
- To protect earlier cleanup work from recontamination,
- To clean up contamination sources, and
- To prevent contamination from moving downstream.
Between July 12, 2010, and November 23, 2010, EPA responded to over 6,700 comments on the Proposed Plan. After carefully considering all the comments, we responded to each and then summarized EPA's responses to general categories of comments. Many of the comments EPA received helped shape the changes reflected in the RODA.
Next Steps
On-the-ground work under this RODA is expected start as soon this fall and design work is already underway. A draft Implementation Plan will be available shortly for public review and comment.
The Implementation Plan provides an overview of EPA's plan for doing cleanup actions outlined in the RODA during the next 10 years. It also provides an overall vision and strategy for setting priorities and doing the cleanup.
Opalski further underscored the Agency's dedication to working with local communities and the Basin Commission as the cleanup moves forward.
"We're building on a solid track record of success and accomplishment in the Basin," said Opalski. "We remain committed to working closely with the Basin Commission and will listen carefully to Basin communities as we perform the cleanup, monitor results, and continually improve and streamline our work."

Amazon has removed 5,000 e-book titles from its Kindle store after it failed to reach an agreement with distributor Independent Publishers Group (IPG) over the terms of a new contract. IPG was founded in Chicago 41 years ago and entered the e-book business in 2001. It's the second largest independent book distributor in the US.
According to a Chicago Tribune report, Amazon began to pull IPG's titles from its e-book store at the start of this week when discussions between the two companies failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Print editions of the pulled titles are still available from Amazon.
In an email published on Tuesday in the online Publishers Lunch newsletter, IPG president Mark Suchomel pointed the finger at Amazon, accusing the company of putting pressure on publishers and distributors in the hope of getting a better deal.
"Our electronic book agreement recently came up for renewal, and Amazon took the opportunity to propose new terms for electronic and print purchases that would have substantially changed your revenue from the sale of both," Suchomel wrote in the email. "It's obvious that publishers can't continue to agree to terms that increasingly reduce already narrow margins." Amazon hasn't commented on the issue.
At this point in time it's not clear if the two companies will get back around the table in an effort to resolve the issue.
According to Suchomel, the removal of IPG's books from the Kindle store shouldn't have a big impact on the firm's business, adding that its titles are still available at other online stores such as iTunes and BarnesandNoble.com.
The spat between Amazon and IPG may stir memories of a dispute Amazon had with one of the largest publishers in the industry, Macmillan, back in early 2010. Amazon had wanted to sell the publisher's e-books for no more than $9.99. Macmillan believed its publications were worth more and when the two companies couldn't agree on pricing, the online retail giant pulled Macmillan's titles from its Kindle store. After about a week, however, Amazon backed down and Macmillan's e-books were returned to Amazon's virtual shelves. We'll have to wait and see whether IPG can also achieve a favorable outcome.
With e-publishing still in its infancy, clashes between companies in the industry are inevitable. Margins are tight for everyone in the business, with Amazon keen to attract consumers to its Kindle Fire tablet and other Kindle devices by offering goods in its online store at competitive prices. Publishers, meanwhile, have their own financial concerns and are reluctant to price their product too low.
As for Suchomel, of course he would rather have his books in the Kindle store than out. But he wants it to happen on terms he considers to be fair. Offering something of an olive branch, he said this week, "If they want to buy our books, they can buy them. We are happy to deal with them."
