Dell Perc S300

8149: Acronis Bootable Media Does Not Support Dell PERC S300 or S100 RAID

http://kb.acronis.com/content/8149

this took up way too much of my weekend.

a client asked me to image an old PowerEdge 2850 and slap it into a new AMD powered Dell PowerEdge r415.. imaging the older system with its PERC 5i hardware RAID posed no challenge. Not so with the new PowerEdge R415 and it's Software based "windows only" PERC S300 RAID controller.
I recommended that the client migrate applications (Peachtree accounting and a few other legacy apps + 200 gigs of files) and also to purchase a hardware based PERC H700 RAID controller.

A park will replace tunnel 3 construction site. "when" is still unclear

Tunnel 3 construction site block 1077 lot 29 in Hell's

Block 1077, Lot 29 was acquired by the New York City Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) pursuant to a Uniform Land Use
Review Procedure (ULURP) application for site selection in 1993. CB4
and the community have been advocating for park/community open
space on the site since 1993. Correspondence has been ongoing since
then between DEP, Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), CB4,
local elected officials, and the block association, all expressing a
commitment that the site will be developed as a park when construction
of the shaft is complete. DEP will require a permanent easement for
access to the shaft for maintenance, which could easily be
accommodated with surrounding park use.
The Tenth Avenue Site should be developed with housing on the
western portion of the site, over the rail cut, and park on the eastern
portion of the site. The building should run through the block on the
western boundary, with arms pointing east toward Tenth Avenue. After
the rezoning in April 2008, in connection with the Real Estate
Industrials project, the entire site is zoned R8 and maximum FAR is 4.2
per ZR Sections 96-101 and 96-31. A special permit should be used
under ZR 96-104 for maximum height of 99 feet.
The park should be mapped and developed as Hell’s Kitchen Park West,
with facilities for older children and teens (volleyball and basketball
courts moved from Hell’s Kitchen Park), adult seating areas, and lots of
green. The park should include a comfort station, which could be in the

adjacent housing development. DPR should design, the housing
developer should build, and the City should fund the park, which should
be fenced the same as Hell’s Kitchen Park. A full-time attendant, not to
be shared with other parks, should be assigned to Hell’s Kitchen Park
and Hell’s Kitchen Park West.
To absorb neighborhood population, the eastern portion (where
volleyball and basketball courts now are) of Hell’s Kitchen Park should
be renovated, along with other nearby parks including Raymon Aponte
Playground on West 47th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and
May Matthews Park on West 45th and 46th Streets between Ninth and
Tenth Avenues.
In regards to the water tunnel easement on the site, a minimal amount of
renovation is required for hatchways and vent, it should be fenced,
landscaped, and become an integrated element of the park.(CB4, HCC)

Peter Freeman. I never knew him growing up in central Maine but I had heard of him. Been meaning to make it down to his store that has been getting some good press since hearing about it from Meghan Meyers (Solon Maine) a few months back. Best of luck Mr. Freeman! Sounds like you are cooking up some great treats across the river... One of his concoctions (Maple Egg-Cream) just ended up in the best seasonal drinks section of TimeOut New York. Congrats Peter! See you down there soon. Sounds like I can bring my dog too.
