NHL lockout: More bickering from the privileged class

October 3, 2012

By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist

Fans of the National Hockey League (NHL) are a little hot under the collar these days. The owners and players of the sport they dearly love are involved in a labor dispute that, at a bare minimum, will most likely delay the start of the regular season. It is possible the lockout could even jeopardize the entire season. The exhibition season has already fallen victim to the dispute.

I know most people reading this will find this hard to believe, but at the core of the dispute is money. There is a salary cap in the current collective bargaining agreement; NHL owners want additional economic concessions from players. Players currently receive 57 percent of hockey-related revenue, and the owners want to bring that number down to below 50 percent, possibly even as low as 47 percent. The players’ union offered a deal based on actual dollars, seeking a guarantee of the $1.8 billion players received last season. Following a recent negotiating session, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said, “In these economic times, there is a need to retrench.”

On the players’ side of the ledger, they are claiming annual industry revenue has grown from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion under the expiring deal. Players say they shouldn’t be forced to make concessions. They contend if some teams aren’t making money, management should re-examine the club’s revenue-sharing formula.

To the best of my knowledge, that’s the basics of where both sides currently stand.

I’ve said it many times before, but I believe the average fan couldn’t care less about which side is right or wrong. The majority of us can only fantasize what it would be like to be arguing over millions and millions of dollars. It’s something only a very few elite members of our society will ever know. They are the handful of athletes who have reached the epitome of their chosen sport.

In addition to the handsome salaries they are paid, the fringe benefits are extremely nice as well. They travel in first class, eat only the best meals, stay in the finest hotels, and receive the best health care available. They want for nothing. Those are just a few of the things that come to mind immediately. I’m one who has always been in tune with being thankful for the blessings I have. I wish the owners and the players would do the same.

I’d suggest both of them take a few hours, or even days, if necessary, to take a personal inventory of their privileged lives and try to come up with a way to settle their petty differences.

The longer they continue to bicker over who is going to get a bigger piece of the pie, they continue to remind all of us, our piece of the pie will never measure up to theirs, no matter how hard we work. That’s the sad truth and the harsh reality of being a fan of professional sports.

Help free us from special interests

June 12, 2013

I can’t afford a lobbyist, so I made this sign.” Whatever you thought of the rest of it, that message resonated with most of us. Eighteen months later, we still can’t afford lobbyists, and those who can, control Washington, D.C.

Since Congress is completely dependent on these special-interest campaign funders, they are incapable of bringing about change themselves. We must force it on them. The American Anti-Corruption Act gives us a means to do that.

A group of knowledgeable reformers from across the political spectrum have come together to compose a comprehensive piece of legislation that attacks the root of the corruption. explains how the AACA stops lobbyist bribery, ends secret money and empowers everyday Americans.

The creators of the act are not seeking support for it from Congress; they are seeking the support of you, the citizens. Once we have sufficient support, only then do we take it to Congress and demand they pass it as is, no amendments or alterations. Sign up to become a citizen co-sponsor and help free our country from the grip of special interests at Represent.Us.

The Faces of Storage Hypervisor, Virtual Storage or Storage Virtualization

Storage virtualization can be implemented in different locations

Storage hypervisors were a 2012 popular buzzword bingo topic with plenty of industry adoption and some customer deployment. Separating the hype around storage hypervisors reveals conversations around storage virtualization and virtual storage.

Cloud computing and virtualization building block components image
Cloud and virtualization components

Storage virtualization along with virtual storage and storage hypervisors have a theme of abstracting underlying physical hardware resources like server virtualization. The abstraction can be for consolidation and aggregation, or for enabling agility, flexibility, emulation and other functionality.

Cloud computing and virtualization building block components image

Storage virtualization can be implemented in different locations, in many ways with various functionality and focus. For example the abstraction can occur on a server, in an virtual or physical appliance (e.g. tin wrapped software), in a network switch or router, as well as in a storage system. The focus can be for aggregation, or data protection (HA, BC, DR, backup, replication, snapshot) on a homogeneous (all one vendor) or mixed vendor basis (heterogeneous).

Image of where storage virtualization, storage hypervisors and virtual storage can exist

Here is a link to a guest post that I recently did over at The Virtualization Practice looking at storage hypervisors, virtual storage and storage virtualization. As is the case with virtual storage, storage virtualization, storage for virtual environments, depending on your views, spheres of influence, preferences among other factors what you call a storage hypervisor will probably vary.

Tis the season for open insurance enrollment: Shop and compare

Posted: September 16, 2006 - 12:17am

Although there are no decorations, carols or roast beast associated with it, we're entering a special season.

For the next month or so, many employee-sponsored health insurance plans are offering open enrollment. That's when you can sign up for insurance or make changes to your existing plans.

If your company has only one option, you might be lucky. Most offer several, and choosing the right fit for your needs can be a daunting task.

"Even physicians have a hard time figuring out what's best for themselves," said Dr. Helen Burstin, director of the Center for Primary Care, Prevention and Clinical Partnerships, which is part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services. "The alphabet soup of HMOs, HSAs and PPOs is confusing, but once you find out what each offers, you can see what works for you."

First, you should understand a few basic terms:

The amount you are required to pay for medical care in a fee-for-service plan after you've met your deductible. The coinsurance rate is usually expressed as a percentage. For example, if the insurance company pays 80 percent of the claim, you pay 20 percent.

Another way of sharing medical costs. You pay a flat fee every time you receive a medical service (for example, $5 for every visit to the doctor). The insurance company pays the rest.

The traditional health-care policy. Insurance companies pay fees for the services provided to insured people. This type of insurance offers the most choices of doctors and hospitals.

With fee-for-service, the insurer pays only for part of your doctor and hospital bills. A deductible must be met before the insurance payments begin.

In a typical plan, the deductible might be $250 for each family member, with a family deductible of $500 when at least two people in the family have reached the individual deductible.

The deductible requirement applies each year of the policy. Not all health expenses you have count toward your deductible.

After you have paid your deductible amount for the year, you share the bill with the insurance company. For example, you might pay 20 percent while the insurer pays 80. Your portion is called coinsurance.

Health Maintenance Organization

Prepaid health plan. You pay a monthly premium and the HMO covers your doctors' visits, hospital stays, emergency care, surgery, checkups, lab tests, X-rays and therapy.

You must use the doctors and hospitals designated by the HMO as your primary care providers. The doctor monitors your health and provides most of your medical care, referring you to specialists and other health-care professionals as needed. You usually cannot see a specialist without a referral from your primary care doctor, who is expected to manage the care you receive. This is one way HMOs can limit your choice.

Because HMOs receive a fixed fee for your covered medical care, it is in their interest to make sure you get basic care for problems before they become serious.

HMOs typically provide preventive care, such as office visits, immunizations, well-baby checkups, mammograms and physicals. The range of services covered varies with the HMO, so it is important to compare available plans. Some services, such as outpatient mental health care, often are provided only on a limited basis. Many people like HMOs because they do not require claim forms for office visits or hospital stays.

Instead, members present a card, like a credit card, at the doctor's office or hospital.

However, you may have to wait longer for an appointment than you would with a fee-for-service plan.

Health reimbursement arrangement

A self-funded, consumer-driven health plan that can be completely managed. Unlike traditional insurance, 90 percent-95 percent of premium dollars go to actual care. Payments are made only when an employee visits the medical facility to receive care.

By using the HRA concept with a consumer-driven, high-deductible plan, employers and employees will enjoy the savings in lower premium and lower utilization cost, contrary to current trends of double-digit rate increases.

Reports from carriers and consultants offering this type of plan show medical costs increase less than other health plans.

Health savings account

A tax-exempt trust or custodial account set up to pay or reimburse certain medical expenses.

Some benefits:

Tax-deductible contributions.

Contributions may be excluded from your gross income.

Contributions remain in your account from year to year until you use them.

The interest or other earnings on the assets in the account are tax free.

Distributions may be tax free if you pay qualified medical expenses.

An HSA is "portable" so it stays with you if you change employers or leave the work force.

Preferred Provider Organization

A combination of traditional fee-for-service and an HMO. When you use the doctors and hospitals that are part of the PPO, you can have a larger part of your medical bills covered. You can use other doctors, but at a higher cost.

Most PPOs cover preventive care. This usually includes visits to the doctor, well-baby care, immunizations and mammograms.

In a PPO, you can use doctors who are not part of the plan and still receive some coverage. At these times, you will pay a larger portion of the bill (and also fill out the claims forms). Some people like this option because even if their doctor is not part of the network, it means they don't have to change doctors to join.

Don't use cost as the deciding factor for choosing an insurance plan, warned Burstin.

"A plan may appear less expensive until you actually use it."

The amount of deductibles, co-payments and the frequency of doctor visits might affect how much you pay in the end. Whether a medication you take is covered by the plan will make a difference in costs.

"The best way to pick a plan is to know what you need and find one that covers (those needs) best," Burstin said. "This isn't necessarily the time to shop for bargains."

Tip of the week

On its Web site, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality offers a report called "Checkup on Health Insurance Choices" to help you weigh several factors and pick the best plan for your needs.

Go to: http://www.ahrq.gov/consumer/insuranc.htm#head19 and scroll down to "Checklist: What's Most Important to You?"

Coming next week: An analysis of the state's economy says many working families haven't recovered from the 2001 recession. With so much prosperity around us, what's keeping some down?

Flaming moderate: Bye-bye Barrow

Posted: April 8, 2012 - 12:43am

CONGRESSMAN JOHN Barrow doesn’t need a house. He needs a motor home.

That way, when the South’s last white Democratic House member gets drawn into a new congressional district, he doesn’t have to call a Realtor. He can just get behind the wheel and drive.

The four-term congressman has said good-bye to Savannah, selling his home in Ardsley Park and acquiring new digs in Augusta. It’s the second move he’s made in eight years.

Mr. Barrow, a centrist Democrat and self-described flaming moderate, is one of the few remaining members of Congress who represent districts that are almost evenly split between Democratic and Republican voters. The majority of districts lean heavily to the left or right.

This arrangement helps incumbents keep their seats. But unfortunately, this job security program for veteran politicians also contributes to legislative gridlock. It’s partly responsible for the inability to reach a compromise on critical issues, like health-care reform and debt reduction. Thus a case can be made for fewer “safe” seats, as it forces lawmakers to find the middle ground to remain in office.

Mr. Barrow, a Savannah resident for six years, has generally toed the center line since he was elected in 2004. Back then, he was an Athens attorney. He moved to Savannah after the Georgia Legislature redrew the 12th Congressional District and axed out his home town. That happened again this year, as his Savannah turf was removed from the 12th. So he loaded up the moving van, following his new district like a nomad.

Congressmen aren’t required to live in the districts they represent. But claiming to speak for voters that you seldom interact with in daily life is a political liability. Mr. Barrow is smart to recognize that.

He also knows he’s in for a fight this year for a fifth term in November.

His new district is more rural, suburban and conservative. Four Republicans want his job. They will be facing off in the July 31 primary, followed by a likely runoff Aug. 21.

The National Republican Congressional Committee presented Mr. Barrow with a housewarming gift of sorts this week — a billboard with his face on it, along with mugs of President Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Given the Masters tournament crowd that swelled Augusta’s population the past few days, it should get plenty of eyeballs.

But Mr. Barrow isn’t a hard left Democrat. He voted against Obamacare and the president’s cap-and-trade energy bill. That’s why liberal voters abandoned him in Savannah in the 2010 Democratic primary, siding with Regina Thomas, a former state senator.

Outside Savannah, however, Mr. Barrow cleaned up. He went on to win the general election — and to go on record opposing Ms. Pelosi as party leader.

Mr. Barrow has money in his campaign war chest, so he’ll be competitive in his new district. He also has been a big supporter of Savannah’s harbor deepening. We trust that sound position won’t change, even though his ZIP has.

Is Islam a "Religion of Peace"?

I would say on it's face "maybe", but in real life circumstances I say no.

The reason Islam is so peaceful in this country is because most of the Sheria law that they practice is illegal here in the modern world.

If you go to ANY third world country that practices Sheria law (and there are several,)

  • Iran
  • Pakistan
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Nigeria
  • Sudan
  • Iraq (prior to 2003)
  • Egypt
  • Bahrain
  • Azerbaijan

 you see women with veils on (this is MANDATORY) you also see women being stoned to death for things such as getting raped and the men that raped her go free.

A couple was just stoned to death for eloping. They were lured back to their village, captured, buried up to their necks and stoned.

Women have their noses cut off for disobeying their husbands and their genitals mutilated because women are not suppose to enjoy sex.

A religion of peace, you make the call.

Wow. I didn't know that Sheria was that large. I always thought it was just a small town in North India. Women wearing veils is not mandatory in many of the countries that you listed. I understand what you are trying to say here but the same can be said about Christians as well. There are radicals in every religion. That doesn't make the whole religion evil. Quit being so closed minded and fearful of things or people that look different than you.

Investnland 09/08/10 - 11:11 pm

I think that the Sheria Law dictates what you do and how you do it not the local government. As long as it is not illegal in that particular country.
So you are saying that Christians today do the same thing as Islam teaches today? REALLY? When was the last time you saw of a Christian stoning? Have you ever read the Qu-ran? Well before you say "That doesn't make the whole religion evil." maybe you need to read it.

Morality vs. Religion

I've posted this before, but find it fitting.

Morality is doing what is right no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.

Vilnius Captured Beginning the Victory of Lithuania Over Soviet Russia

Celebrating the Ninety Fourth Anniversary of the Liberation of Vilnius

Germany lost the First World War and signed the Armistice of Compiègne on November 11, 1918.  Lithuanians quickly formed their first government, led by Augustinas Voldemaras, adopted a provisional constitution, and started organizing basic administrative structures.  As the defeated German army was withdrawing from the Eastern Front, it was followed by the Soviet forces, whose intention was tospread the global proletarian revolution. They created a number of puppet states, including the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic.

By the end of December the Red Army reached Lithuanian borders, starting the Lithuanian–Soviet War. The Lithuanian government evacuated from Vilnius to Kaunas, the temporary capital of Lithuania. Vilnius was captured on January 5, 1919. As the Lithuanian army was in its infant stages, the Soviet forces moved largely unopposed and by mid-January 1919 controlled about ⅔ of the Lithuanian territory. From April 1919 the Lithuanian war went parallel with the Polish–Soviet War. Poland had territorial claims over Lithuania, especially the Vilnius Region, and these tensions spilled over into the Polish–Lithuanian War.  In mid-May the Lithuanian army, commanded by General Silvestras Žukauskas, began an offensive against the Soviets in northeastern Lithuania.

By the end of August 1919, the Soviets were pushed out of the Lithuanian territory. When the Soviets were defeated, Lithuanian army was deployed against the paramilitary West Russian Volunteer Army, who invaded northern Lithuania.  They were rouse German and Russian soldiers who sought to retain German control over the former Ober Ost. West Russian Volunteers were defeated and pushed out by the end of 1919. Thus the first phase of the Lithuanian Wars of Independence was over and Lithuanians could direct attention to internal affairs.

The only reason that Žukauskas was able to mount that offensive was that he was safely protected by what General Pilsudski set up for Poland. And Lithuania could never get its capital back until Rokosovsky's units mopped up the remaining German units in Courland in 1945 and -46, when the Polish eastern border was re-adjusted yet again to its current boundaries, where the western Ukraine and eastern Lithuania were part of the Poland that Paderewski and Pilsudski put together after winning the battle of Warsaw against Trotsky's Red Armies. The Poles argued that they had just as much a right to Wilno as the Lithuanians, because of the merger of the Ancient Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which forever tied their fates until 1917, when the Germans decided to allow the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians to set up their own autonomous territories under German suzerainity and even under Hohenzollern princes, but with the Germans taking the Ukraine from the Tsar and the burdens of holding that while Russia was falling apart from inside compelled the Germans to give the Letts, Lithuanians, Estonians and even the Poles the possibility and later on the reality of becoming independent--the strongest and most self-reliant of these being the Finns under Gustav von Mannerheim and the Poles under Paderewski and Pilsudski.
Californicated1 January 06, 2013 at 11:24 PM
The other factor that brought in an independent Lithuana minus Wilno/Vilnius in 1919 was what was happening in the Tver province east of Moscow, where the Bolsheviks were having problems trying to defeat the "White" armies of Kornilov and Wrangel, who could have easily taken Moscow. When Trotsky recognized that threat, he had to pull out a great deal of the forces in what would become Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland while Mannerheim's Finns pinned down the Red Army forces holding Petrograd. American and British forces held Murmansk and were using that port to supply Wrangel and Kornilov while British and French forces occupied Sebastopol in the Crimea to supply Deniken's forces against both the Red Army and the Ukrainian Red Army, intent on creating a Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic along the lines of what was being created in Petrograd and relocated to Moscow. This was the situation under which a Žukauskas could function, and when Pilsudski's troops repelled the red armies in Poland and drove them back beyond the Pripyet Marshes, it compelled the Soviets to seek peace here in order to divert those forces to take on Kornilov, Deniken, Wrangel and the other Tsarist/"White" factions out there who wanted to undo what the Bolsheviks put up. The Polish eastern border was futher secured through the Locarno Pact in 1922, where the Poles believed that they needed the Ukraine and Wilno as their buffer between the Soviets and themselves.

4 Can’t-miss Fish & Chips Plates

As Indian summer lingers, fresh fish and chips take center stage in the Northwest.
Spud’s cod fish and chips: a Seattle classic

Pike Street Fish Fry

Alaskan ling cod and chips are served with your choice of six dipping sauces, including smoked chili mayo and curry ketchup. The flaky, paprika-spiced tempura-batter-dipped fillets are made even more perfect with a heaping side of French fries and a fried lemon.
Capitol Hill, 925 E Pike St.; 206.329.7453

The Walrus and the Carpenter

You won’t even miss the chips (believe it or not) when you bite into a dish of melt-in-your-mouth fried oysters. Sourced from Hood Canal and breaded with a cayenne cornmeal mixture for a light and flaky texture, these oysters are served with cilantro aioli for a fresh finish.
Ballard, 4743 Ballard Ave. NW; 206.395.9227

Emmett Watson’s Oyster Bar

Served in a small corner of the Market, the fried clam entrée is a quarter-pound of simply breaded seafood bliss. Although only mildly seasoned with a bay leaf and celery salt blend, these clams (and the side of hand-cut Washington-potato French fries) are packed with flavor.
Pike Place Market, 1916 Pike Place, Suite 16

Spud Fish and Chips

There’s nothing fancy about the good old-fashioned cod fish and chips at this long-time local institution, but the crisp treat gets the job done and then some: Alaskan cod is hand-cut and hand-dipped in the secret-recipe batter, then fried in 100 percent canola oil and served with freshly cut French fries and house-made tartar sauce.
West Seattle, 2666 Alki Ave. SW; 206.938.0606

Ducorp's Cockatoo

Ducorp's Cockatoo

COMMON NAME: Ducorp's cockatoo
KINGDOM: Animalia
PHYLUM: Chordata
ORDER: Psittaciformes
FAMILY: Cacatuidae
GENUS SPECIES: Cacatua (referring to the bird's call) ducorpsii

DESCRIPTION: This is a large white parrot with yellow under the wings and tail and blue skin around the eyes. The crest is completely white. The beak is hooked and blue-gray blue.
SIZE: Approximately 33 cm (13 in)
WEIGHT: Approximately 500-630 g (17.5-22.05 oz.)
DIET: Seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, and some insects
INCUBATION: Approximately 30 days
CLUTCH SIZE 2-6 eggs
SEXUAL MATURITY: Approximately 5-6 years
LIFE SPAN: Approximately 65 or more years
RANGE: Solomon Island
HABITAT: Inhabits dense forests
STATUS: IUCN Not listed
CITES Appendix II
USFWS Not listed

1. These birds are often regarded as pests because of their diets (sometimes feeding on crops); licensed culling is permitted in certain states.
2. Both parents take part in incubating the eggs.
3. Cockatoos can mimic the sounds of other animals, including people.
4. Cockatoos can hold their food in one foot and break pieces off of it with the other foot.
5. Cockatoos live in small loose flocks.
6. They are very gregarious and quickly learn to mimic. These birds also have a very shrill cry.

Cockatoos are a food source for many animals larger than themselves.

Their feeding habits are very destructive, which annoys most gardeners.

Cockatoos aid in seed dispersal through their eating of fruit.

This species is relatively new to U.S. aviculture because these islands were closed to the export of birds for many years. Previously, only a small number were imported into the United States until late 1993 when the U.S. stopped commercial importation of most bird species.

This species is very popular in the pet trade and is considered to be an exceptionally easy bird to tame. They are generally very affectionate toward humans and have lively personalities. This species is often used for show and appears quite comfortable in exhibition halls among hundreds of other birds and large crowds. One word of caution: since these birds live a long time, owners often have to will them to someone else in case they are unable to care for them any longer.

The U.S. Wild Bird Act forbids the commercial import of any bird listed by CITES which includes most parrots - endangered or threatened.

Margaret Thatcher's 7 Most Inspiring Quotes

Margaret Thatcher, Britain's "Iron Lady," who died today at 87, was a trailblazer. The first women to be the head of government of a Western democracy, her presence on the world stage sent a powerful message. But Thatcher was far from a prop on that stage. She was major player, talking as tough as she walked. With words she comforted a nation in the wake of terror attacks and emboldened women to chart their own destinies. But with words too, she launched a war and eviscerated her opponents.

Margaret Thatcher's obitutary.

"I would just like to remember some words of St. Francis of Assisi which I think are really just particularly apt at the moment. 'Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope."

Announcing the invasion of the Falkland Islands, 1982

"The people of the Falkland Islands, like the people of the United Kingdom, are an island race. Their way of life is British; their allegiance is to the Crown. They are few in number, but they have the right to live in peace, to choose their own way of life and to determine their own allegiance. It is the wish of the British people and the duty of Her Majesty's Government to do everything that we can to uphold that right. That will be our hope and our endeavour and, I believe, the resolve of every member of the House."

But in a certain sense, we remained an opposition, we were never the establishment. As Ron once put it: the nine most dangerous words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' As usual, he was right."

I have a Guest VM on a VMWare Server (version 1) that I need to have more disk space. Is there a way to grow it's virtual disk or add another?

The Host OS is Windows XP 32 Bit. The Guest OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 RC 64 Bit.

I found a site that shows how to grow the hard drive. It is:techteam.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/… It worked just fine for me. I then followed the steps shown by Glenn Sizemore. –  Vaccano May 22 '09 at 19:00

You can add an additional virtual disk to the machine by:

Shutdown the Guest OS

Right click the machine in your inventory list (F9 to show Inventory List) and choose Settings

Check what your current Virtual Disk type is, you will see either Hard Disk(IDE X:X) or Hard Disk(SCSI X:X) in the current list of Hardware.

When adding the new disk, use the same type so you will know it works properly. Click the Add button and follow the wizard for adding your new disk.

After you have added the disk, you can startup your virtual machine and windows will see it as a new hard drive just as if you installed a new physical drive in a machine.

If you just want additional disk space under a new drive letter, you can stop here.

To be able to spread your current drive over the two drives you need to convert them both to Dynamic Disks (look here for some more info http://www.petri.co.il/difference_between_basic_and_dynamic_disks_in_windows_xp_2000_2003.htm) then span your current partition across both disks.

i think you can grow existing drives [ but then you need to convince guest os to recognize bigger storage space which is very much file system dependent ].

i'm absolutely sure that you can add new virtual disk to existing vm guest. you just power off guest, edit hardware repository and add new drive. that i've done quite a lot of times.

share|improve this answer

While not the most straight forward process it is rather trivial to resize the VM's existing partitions, and it's too easy to grow a virtual machines vmdk/vhd.

Windows 2008/Vista and above:

  1. Shut down the VM.
  2. Increase the size of the existing hard drive.
  3. Open Disk Management by launching diskmgmt.msc
  4. Right Click on the disk in question and select Extend Volume

    Windows 2003 R2/XP and below:

  5. Shut down the VM.

  6. Increase the size of the existing hard drive.
  7. Either:
  8. Open a cmd prompt and enter the following.
    • We'll do all the work using diskpart so open it by typing.
    • Then locate your disk by entering
      List Disk
    • focus on the disk you increased by selecting it.
      Select Disk 1
      Just look for the disk with the free space you just allocated
    • Next locate the partition your looking for
      list partitions
    • set the focus on the that partition
      select Partition 0
    • Now simply expand the partition.
    • your done!
  9. If you used winpe simply reboot, and enjoy the freespace. If you used a surrogate VM. then you'll need to shut that vm down, remove your expanded HD, and reattach to the original VM.

Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm trying to determine if I can use a single firewall for my entire network, including customer servers, or if each customer should have their own firewall. I've found that many hosting companies require each client with a cluster of servers to have their own firewall. If you need a web node and a database node, you also have to get a firewall, and pay another monthly fee for it.

I have colo space with several KVM virtualization servers hosting VPS services to many different customers. Each KVM host is running a software iptables firewall that only allows specific ports to be accessed on each VPS. I can control which ports any given VPS has open, allowing a web VPS to be accessed from anywhere on ports 80 and 443, but blocking a database VPS completely to the outside and only allowing a certain other VPS to access it. The configuration works well for my current needs.

Note that there is not a hardware firewall protecting the virtualization hosts in place at this time. However, the KVM hosts only have port 22 open, are running nothing except KVM and SSH, and even port 22 cannot be accessed except for inside the netblock.

I'm looking at possibly rethinking my network now that I have a client who needs to transition from a single VPS onto two dedicated servers (one web and one DB). A different customer already has a single dedicated server that is not behind any firewall except iptables running on the system.

Should I require that each dedicated server customer have their own dedicated firewall? Or can I utilize a single network-wide firewall for multiple customer clusters?

I'm familiar with iptables, and am currently thinking I'll use it for any firewalls/routers that I need. But I don't necessarily want to use up 1U of space in my rack for each firewall, nor the power consumption each firewall server will take. So I'm considering a hardware firewall. Any suggestions on what is a good approach?

I think that if you are the only person controlling the firewall, and that customers do not want to be able to make changes, you can certainly get away with a single firewall.

You could use iptables on each host, however I never liked that method as introduces too many variables when troubleshooting.

Good luck!

A hit in the cache means that when the lookup was performed, it was found in the cache.

Looks like people looking for unsecured common scripts on your webserver.

Should you worry? Depends if you have any unsecured common scripts on your webserver...

mhm ok. Well, I haven't change any script, just installed regular stuff. Is there something I can do to be sure everything is safe ? thanks –  Patrick Nov 21 '10 at 20:27
I think how to setup a secure web server is a very broad topic. Obviously in general remove stuff you don't need, minimum access and strong passwords for anything you do need combined with keeping on top of patches for OS/installed applications and so on. Then there's IPS/IDS etc. You'd do worse than download and run nessus against your website. –  Hutch Nov 21 '10 at 20:48
I'd specifically block that IP with the firewall and then do a thorough check to ensure it's secure. –  Matt Nov 21 '10 at 20:53
@matt cat and mouse IP blocking is just a bad idea all around. If the web server is locked down (the way any web server should be) script kiddie scanning is not worth the time to manage IP blocks and NAT just makes problems for everyone with IP blocks. THE ONLY TIME TO BLACK LIST an IP is during a successful attack. –  Liam Nov 21 '10 at 21:14

Most likely someone scanning your site to find common tools they can use, and possibly common vulnerabilities.

This happens all th time. This doesn't mean somebody is targeting your site specifically. You should not be worried if you have secured your site:

  • all versions are up to date: server, application, etc.
  • all admin tools (phpmyadmin, custom, etc.) are accessible from only (use an SSH tunnel to access it from your client)
  • no SQL injection, default password, log file accessible to the world, etc.

There are scan going on all the time to find vulnerable servers.

UPDATE: Make any admin tool, and /admin, available to only (in your Apache configuration file for example)

Then, create an SSH tunnel to redirect the remote to your local machine (port 8000 for example):

ssh user@server.com -L8000:localhost:80

If you use Windows, Putty lets you do the same thing.

Then, you can access /phpmyadmin with http://localhost:8000/phpmyadmin

This ensure than /phpmyadmin is not available to any IP unless they can also SSH to your box.

share|improve this answer
my phpmyadmin is actually accessible from any ip. The point is that I'm using a remote VPS, I cannot make it accessible from phpmyadmin only. –  Patrick Nov 21 '10 at 21:01
If you have reasons to believe that you're of heightened vulnerability (if your site is notable enough that someone might put manual effort into an exploit, or if you have publicly published your site infrastructure details), then it may be worthwhile to IP lock your tools. I believe that by your comment you mean "accessible from local only". You're right. The point of phpmyadmin is to be able to use it remotely. But that doesn't mean you necessarily have to allow access from "everywhere". SSH into your box and set up an IP filter for phpmyadmin and put your new IP up on as as needed basis. –  Steven Xu Nov 21 '10 at 21:12
@Steven Xu Ok thanks.. I just have a quick question about phpmyadmin link in my var/www directory. Is this line (permissions) fine ? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 22 09:04 phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin –  Patrick Nov 22 '10 at 9:06
It shouldn't be a big deal (although I've never seen that particular phpmyadmin configuration before - using a symlink). Phpmyadmin is relatively powerless since it doesn't store your access credentials. However, it is a potential avenue of attack. If your SQL server is accessible globally, then it makes no difference whether an attacker goes though phpmyadmin or your SQL process. A potential point of caution is that a publicly accessible phpmyadmin may flag your site as one with "weaker" security measures. I can't tell if this is the case since the only request was for a camelcased version. –  Steven Xu Nov 22 '10 at 16:01

From what you posted, they didn't find interesting things on your web server (most lines are 404). They only hit successfully http://yourip/ (200) which is a small page with less than 146 bytes (default page of your distribution).

If you only need local access, put a firewall. If you only need few people to access it, change the default port to something less obvious. Even better, crypt the connection (https) and put a password protection (don't put password without encryption).

share|improve this answer

This happens often enough that it's worth putting a CGI or similar in a few of the common places (or using aliasing to make it respond as if it were in those places), and have it trigger something to block them at your firewall.

When something like this happens, it's worth looking to see if they found something:

grep [connecting ip address] /path/to/access_log | grep -v '" 404 '

(try to find what they requested that wasn't a 404 error)

... and if it's a stock PHP, CGI, etc, check to see if there are any reported vulnerabilities against it). If they seemed to focus on one script in particular, focus there, and also look to see if there's anything abnormal on the machine, such as files with modification times near when they were trying to get in.

Often, they can't get in with just one step -- they use some vulnerable program to upload a file to somewhere it'll get executed, and then issue a second command to get it to execute ... if you're lucky, it'll all come from the same IP, and you can easily find what got executed, and either find the file if it didn't delete immediately after running, or use the filename to search the internet for clues on what they might've done.

I am booting up some Amazon EC2 instances. Specifically, Alestic instances in us-east for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04. When I log into those machines I can use "uname -a" to check the kernel versions. And as expected, they are different: 2.6.32, 2.6.35 and 2.6.38.

To my great surprise, however, their AKI is actually the same! That is shown in the web-based management portal, and also by the ec2-describe-instances command.

When I look into the /boot directory, I can see the kernel image files, such as vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-virtual. The names are appropriate for what "uname -a" shows on that instance and they are also of different sizes.

So, what is going on here? I was under the impression that you can use specific AKIs to get different kernels in your machines. Here I see different kernels, but the same AKI?

If you could help me to understand this, I would much appreciate it.

Thank you very much...

If this is using the pvgrub method ("User Provided Kernel"), the base aki is the same because it's chain loading into a user-defined (by Altesic) kernel. This is how kernels may now be (carefully) upgraded without breaking your box in previous AMIs.

Check that the AKI matches one listed in the PDF below.

I have a system that I've built for using optical signals to communicate underwater. I'm using a GNURadio + USRP system to test this and I have a program that creates an ethernet connection across my system. I need to measure the link quality as a function of communication distance, water quality, etc.

My question is what method should I use to measure ethernet link quality, and how? Say I have a FTP connection, how would I go about measuring and plotting the retransmits? Or, is there an easy way to directly measure TCP packet CRC failures? What other useful metrics could I gather? I want something more high-level than bit-error rate vs. signal/noise.

Wireshark is a very useful tool for examining ethernet links.

Ethernet has its own check that it performs before TCP's check. It is the Ethernet layer that catches line errors and is probably the best place to be investigating.

share|improve this answer
@Kellenjb As you probably know, if Ethernet recognizes a corrupt frame it does not retransmit, it leaves that to a higher level protocol (typically TCP). –  blankabout Mar 31 '11 at 1:03
@blankabout correct. Thanks for clarifying my post. –  Kellenjb Mar 31 '11 at 3:07
@gallamine By checking for link layer errors you are able to determine the performance of the link you created. If you go any higher level then that then there can be errors and dropped packets that have nothing to do with your link, but rather just the nature of Ethernet networks. It is best to not deal with these in your situation. –  Kellenjb Mar 31 '11 at 3:09
@Kellenjb, I have wireshark installed. You're suggesting I track the LL errors there? Is the layer exposed to Wireshark, or should I track TCP retransmits as a proxy metric? –  gallamine Mar 31 '11 at 13:34

I tried to find such a tool to verify my long range WiFi link but the best thing I came up with was ping.

sudo ping -i 0.01 -c 10000 -s 1024

You can change both the interval -i (in seconds) and packet size -s (in bytes) to change the bandwidth utilization. Large packet sizes are also more sensitive to link errors (1 bit error will cause the whole packet to be discarded) so expect higher lost packet counts with bigger -s.

These are OS X (really BSD I guess) ping arguments but this will work on both Linux and Windows if you adjust the option letters. –  jpc Mar 31 '11 at 10:39

We probably need way more information then you've provided here. What version of Windows Server? What hardware is this server? What is the specific eventid for the FRS errors? Are people able to logon when it's "frozen"? If not, what errors are the users getting? –  GregD Oct 8 '11 at 15:41
Dear Greg, It is MS server 2003 Enterprise installed on a Dell PowerEdge 1800 (Intel Xeon 3Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 80GB HDD). The Event ID for FRS Warning/Errors are 13520, 13565, 13509, 13508, 13560, 13561, 13568). Once the server is frozen. People will not be able to login, which means no internet (as the internet authentication happens through AD), WiFi... basically all the services linked to AD wont work until i reboot the server. This problem is totally killing my life. When ever the server is down. I had to go to office and reboot to resume the services. This is happening at random times. plz help –  Pavan Oct 8 '11 at 16:14
and also... the FRS errors exist from the year 2006 itself but we never had this problem. One thing that i have noticed, before the server is frozen... all the services slow down... login takes time... network shared drives take time to open... internet authentication takes time and then it is totally frozen/unresponsive. –  Pavan Oct 8 '11 at 16:19
so this was working all along then recently went bad or have you been fighting this awhile. –  tony roth Oct 8 '11 at 22:55

You've got two problems here. FRS replication is one thing, which is unlikely to be related to the server hanging.

There should be some specific management software from Dell that is for that server - I forget what it's called. If you haven't got that on there, install it and keep an eye on the logs. If you have got it installed, make sure it is up to date and make sure all the drivers and firmware are up to date too.

Robin, I have already installed Dell DSET Report Tool and generated the report and sent it to Dell. They say that there are no issues with the hardware or the Software. It is totally confusing on to what is causing this issue. –  Pavan Oct 10 '11 at 15:57

Could be something is memory leaking up to the point of the lockup. You can use Task Manager and or Performance Monitor to see what is consuming the mem/ cpu. A consistently positive "Mem Delta" value may indicates a memory leak.

Also verify MSConfig to check if there any startup services (Silent Malware) are marked ON.

Check your list of installed programs in control panel "Programs" and find if there any worthless application is installed.

I am trying to connect a number of VMs using Open vSwitch. The VMs are on two separate physical boxes. Here is what I did:

  1. Created two tap devices on one physical host
    sudo ip tuntap add mode tap tap0 and same for tap1
  2. Bring them up
    sudo ip link set tap0 up
  3. Add them as ports to Open vSwitch
    (br0 was created as a OVS bridge previously) sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap0 tag=1

Now I booted the VMs (using VirtualBox) and assigned addresses and Now when I try to ping one VM from another, I get the error Connect: network is unreachable. Since both VMs are connected to the switch on the same VLAN, I expect to be able to ping one from another. What is going wrong here?

Update I found that the routing table goes blank after some time and that is when ping fails. If I add a static route, it works for some time and fails again. Any idea why does the routing table is erased?

This turned out to be a problem with DHCP configuration on the guests. Once I removed that, it worked fine.

Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

This should be actually a very obvious setup, but somehow I have missed the obvious step!

Default assumptions: FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p11, Squid 2.7.STABLE9. These are not changeable, so "upgrade to the latest version" does not apply for me. FreeBSD is using ipfw (also not changeable).

Our setup works the following way. The jail host does nothing but run ipfw. One special jail is configured with a valid IP address (the rest have private addresses). This jail runs Squid to forward incoming requests and distributes it among the many other jails where Apache is running. This is easily accomplished with Squid in accel mode (with http_port [real IP address]:80 vhost), using squirm to properly redirect URLs to the appropriate jail, and making sure /etc/hosts on the host knows which jail is pointed to. ipfw restricts incoming requests, and allows jails to respond. This works flawlessly, and has been working for years without a glitch.

However, an increasing number of hosted websites also require contacting external webservices. Since all websites have to be on the jails, the only solution is to run Squid also as a proxy server for them (and only for them), and allow outgoing connections only to the required services (typical examples: Yahoo! weather, or APIs from Google), which required setting them up on squid.conf as well as allowing outgoing connections from the jails. So website jails can only connect to the external world via the Squid jail; there is deliberately no "workaround" for security reasons (that part is also not changeable).

This also works well, and has been working for several years, also without a glitch.

Unfortunately for our beautiful setup, an increasing number of web services are (very thoughtfully) moving to HTTPS for extra security. Here is the catch. Even though Squid's configuration is prepared to allow outgoing HTTPS requests through itself, the result is always a 400 Bad Request, which shows up on the logs as:

1345810897.782      0 <internal jail address> TCP_DENIED/400 1695 CONNECT :0 - NONE/- text/html

Note the strange "CONNECT :0" request. Other links on this topic point to a badly configured port translation/connection configuration somewhere, but this is not the case; the error is exactly the same, no matter what client is used (lynx, curl, wget, own XML-RPC libraries, etc.).

The jail host configuration, even though severely limited with ipfw, has absolutely no problem with outgoing connections for HTTPS requests.

The "special" jail where Squid runs has also no problems with outgoing HTTPS requests, so I know that the firewall using ipfw is not to be blamed. However, an HTTPS request made on that jail through Squid will fail exactly like any requests from the other jails.

What I believe that is happening is that this kind of solution will not work for HTTPS, since all that gets relayed through Squid is the initial CONNECT — the rest of the data is "invisible" to Squid. Under normal circumstances, NAT on a router should handle the return of the data correctly. But this special configuration doesn't really rely on NAT, and I'm quite sure that enabling NAT would also be forbidden — the admin doesn't want the internal IP addresses to be exposed publicly via NAT. So Squid has to handle all the conversions and all the connections.

Does this make sense? I realise that HTTPS is quite a different protocol than HTTP, and, as such, some things which are easy under HTTP might not work under HTTPS because of that. There are also trade-offs to be taken into account: a complete revamp of the whole solution costs labour and time, and it might not justify that just to give access to a very few webservices now and then.

Note that the above complex setup of jails is not changeable (e.g. running squid on the real host instead of the special Squid jail is not an option). All that is allowed is tweaking ipfw and configuring Squid. Extra software that might be required is allowed in extreme cases. Ugrading/changing existing software is not.

Thanks in advance. My apologies for the long email and the relative lack of configuration dumps; this is a relatively mission-critical system and I'm not allowed to post much of its configuration publicly. However, I will be more than glad to answer yes/no questions like "Did you remember to set [obscure configuration command] to 'true'?"

share|improve this question
FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p11 <-- Um... you know that release was end of life'd back in 2010 right? I know you said the version is "not changeable" but you need to start making plans. We can help with that... Also have you tried the squid instructions for https:// connections? –  voretaq7 Aug 24 '12 at 15:47
I would strongly recommend using seperate instances, if not seperate software for the forward and reverse proxying. They are very different operations, and running both types of traffic on the same server is tricky to configure securely (i.e. not running an open proxy) Squid really isn't designed for reverse proxying. Varnish works well, but Apache Traffic Server appears to be very effective. –  symcbean Aug 24 '12 at 16:02

I've been given several Sony Viao VGN-BX760's from old software engineering students. I'm supposed to install Windows, drivers, necessary software, and image the other laptops with it. The problem is Sony's drivers from their own website are broken.

Even after installing every driver listed on Sony's support page, there are two VGA Controllers without drivers, an Unknown Device, and the optical drive driver says "no device is connected." What it means is, the device I'm compatible with must not be here. I know the drive works, I installed XP from it. Sony either has the wrong driver, or gosh, I don't know.

So are there other ways to get drivers? If these other Viaos are working, is it possible to rip drivers from them? Thanks.

Edit: To the best of my knowledge, we do not have the original system discs.

Something to check for is a hidden recovery partition. I just reloaded a Vaio using that, and that saves you the hassle of tracking down drivers. One of the function keys should trigger the recovery or a boot menu where you can select the recovery from. I am a huge fan of this since I have had a number of laptops with no image or support disks handed off to me for reloading, and we don't have VLKs. A quick check on google indicates that it might be F-10.

Try having a look at something like Everest and use it to find the real device models so you can search them up from the original device manufactures compared to the sony website.

I'm working a linux machine running CentOS. I don't have full sudo powers and theres multiple versions of python already installed on the machine and the whole thing is a bit of a mess, stuff like numpy doesn't work and I need to install modules which rely on that. I've been doing some reading and it would seem like removing and reinstalling python may lead to bit of a f**k up in the machine.

I was wondering if its possible to just install python (and hopefully R) into my own home directory or something and then install the modules I need into that directory and run what I need from there?

You're right to be wary of upgrading the installed version of python; RH/CentOS is very dependent on it, and can get very upset if you upgrade it underneath the running OS.

On old (C5) boxes, when I needed python 2.6, I often built it to install under /usr/local/python26. If you prefer to do it under your home directory, that should work fine also.

I can imagine CentOS throwing a temper tantrum screaming "I DON'T WANT TO USE THIS PYTHON VERSION" and tossing packets to and fro. –  Nathan C Jun 20 '13 at 12:40
You don't know the half of it. Took about 30 minutes to clean the server room ("bring the mops and buckets, for they shall shortly be required"), and some of the ethernet cables remain permanently scarred. Most of the debian-derived systems needed trauma counselling. –  MadHatter Jun 20 '13 at 12:42

I started learning to program on the Apple IIe when I was in 3rd grade. I've worked in many languages, including C, C++, Pascal, Java, PHP, Perl, C#, Visual Basic ... once you've worked in enough languages, working with a new one ceases to seem all that impressive.

I've worked professionally as a software developer for my entire adult life. Currently, I'm a .NET developer working in Omaha, Nebraska.
