Contrary to the general understanding, most pirates did not habitually carry firearms and edged weapons, wear gold earrings, possess a parrot, have at least one wooden lege supporting a body covered in tattoos. Seamen were very likely to receive injures at sea hauling on ropes and tackle in bad weather and have several scars. Pirates created a sort of "pension fund" within their Articles to cater for this eventuality. Ashore amongst 'landsmen', a seaman would be instantly identified from his sea-going language - often extremely foul - his habits, mannerisms and his walk. A pirate ashore with 500 pounds was richer than 99% of the population of Europe and America - an average value take by pirates between 1700 and 1725 was about 1 million pounds each over this period every year. The total value of plunder using historic records was over 1000 million pounds at modern values.

Hi Brian,
My understanding is, the failure of daily backup restore is not related the files we don’t have privilege to backup.
We can easily exclude those files from the backups, but I believe the daily backup restore will still fail.
The question is: why we are getting these errors when doing the incremental restore:
Current device(s): /tts5/uv_backup/uvbackup_tts2_data__d_01
Scanning image for requested files/records...
Restoring /tts2/data/ADDENDUM.000 (07:21:18)

I made a Baked Potato Salad today for a work picnic today... which is essentially all the elements of a loaded baked potato chopped up in tub.
I also started making Salmon Cakes powdered whole oats, lemon juice, mustard, and eggs. I cover them with wasabi sauce.
My experimental archives include:
poached rosemary tilapia
garlic pate' disguised as hummus
banana pineapple chicken
stuffed artichokes (from a Sicilian handed down recipe)
avocado butter
pumpernickel stuffing
3 meat meatloaf
focaccia bread
acid jelly candies
jambalaya... to name a few.
I guess my interest started when my father had me make bouillabaisse at the easily burned age of 6.

Someone told me how Swine Flu started so I've been working on a new virulent Hamster Flu in my basement... I've blown out 3 hamsters so far.

11:47 am - More layoffs
Another suprise layoff yesterday of 14 people at my work.. seven of which nobody knows how to do their jobs. I could be next.
Apparently it is unacceptable to say "fuck" at work so I'm wedging in "fecundity" to as many statements as possible.

Modest Mouse on June 10 at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre
Now if I could only get Arcade Fire, Beirut, Gogol Bordello and/or Devotchka to come to Raleigh.
Band of Horses will be in Asheville on June 16th.
So what's the deal with June? Someone is conspiring against me.

As a warning.. I get a little steamed with my family. What follows is my reply to my brother political rant. His rant is at the bottom.
I can debate rape, I can debate religous belief in politics, but instead I will say that as a man, my opinion would fly too loose and lofty with the knowlege that I never can become pregnant. Seriously, let women only debate this and let's watch.
Also is this the best way to select a President whether he can change the highest court so they can make abortions illegal? What about my fucking Social Security or the Damn Economy that has been shat on. What about the oil spills that resulted after a hurricane hit the Gulf... let's pollute the fucking fuck world from fuck by putting a few more of those mines out in the ocean. Why not. Sorry I really can't trust anyone's political judgement that ever voted for someone with the last name Bush.
Outside of those thoughts... you may have a point. I'm actually fiscally conservative so I'm not crazy about Obama's healthcare but I like his vision of the future better than That ONE (McCain). And what is bullshit about sitting down with your friend's enemy to negotiate. Right, they hate Isreal... but I think in our family unit we know what can brew in silence. Why should we let Republicans allow that kind of resentment and hate brew toward us. Oh I know... so they can use fear to get elected again.
Samuel Johnson:
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Senator Obama and I do not agree on any single issue. We can debate some of these, but there are a few positions the Senator holds that you can not defend. The most important of these is his support for abortion - regardless of the age of the mother or the age of the child.

12:11 pm - Requiem for a theatre chair
In every theatre
is a chair, worn and neglected of care
When the picture show is started
She just succumbs to that awful station
circumvented and muffled by someone's derriere.
It is a misery of temptation
To be helpless in bounderies of the soul
With murderous vengence she wraps around hind quarters
Impotent inaction and choking on fallen tootsie rolls.
Lot's wife had it easier
A pillar of salt may be neglected and in a fix
but it is better to be blown and licked
by the tradewinds and the fauna
then pressed upon by an ass and getting kicked.
