  • Jon Favreau

In 1873, Arizona Territory, an unnamed loner (Daniel Craig) awakens in the desert injured, with no memory, and a strange metal band shackled to his wrist. He wanders into the small town of Absolution, where the local preacher, Meacham (Clancy Brown), treats his wound. After the stranger subdues Percy Dolarhyde (Paul Dano), who has been terrorizing the populace, Sheriff Taggart (Keith Carradine) recognizes him as Jake Lonergan, a wanted outlaw, and tries to arrest him. Jake nearly escapes, but a mysterious woman named Ella Swenson (Olivia Wilde) knocks him out.

Percy’s father, Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), a rich and influential cattleman, arrives with his men and demands that Percy be released to him. He also wants Jake, who stole Dolarhyde’s gold. During the standoff, alien spaceships begin attacking the town, and Percy, the sheriff, and many townsfolk are abducted. Jake shoots down one ship with a device concealed in his wrist band, ending the attack.

Dolarhyde, Ella, and some townsfolk form a posse to track an alien that may have ejected from the downed ship. Jake, meanwhile, travels to an abandoned cabin, and in a flashback, recalls returning there with the gold just before he and a woman, Alice, were abducted by the aliens. Jake returns to join the posse. During the night, the alien they were tracking appears and kills Meacham, who sacrifices himself to save Emmett, Taggart’s grandson.

By the next morning, most of the posse has deserted, and the others are attacked by Jake’s former gang. Jake, who stole the gang’s loot after their last heist, attempts to retake control, but fails. As he and the others flee, the aliens begin attacking again and Ella is seized. Jake jumps aboard the ship and attacks the alien pilot, causing the ship to crash, but Ella is mortally wounded.

Chiricahua Apaches capture the posse, blaming them for the alien attacks. As Ella’s body is dumped on a fire, she is fully resurrected. Ella is actually an alien who traveled to Earth to help humans resist the invaders after they destroyed her homeworld. The aliens, who have been abducting humans to perform experiments on, are also mining gold to power their machines. They are not invulnerable, however: Jake’s gauntlet weapon can kill them, as well as stabbing and shooting, though the creatures are far stronger and more durable than humans and have superior weapons. Ella claims Jake holds the secret to the aliens’ whereabouts and says they must stop them before they exterminate all life on the planet. After taking Mescaline offered by the Indians, Jake recalls that Alice died in an alien experiment, but he escaped, inadvertently stealing the alien weapon. He can also remember the aliens’ hidden location.

Armed with this knowledge, the group, now led by Colonel Dolarhyde, prepares to attack the aliens’ grounded mothership. Jake returns to his old gang and persuades them to join the fight. In a sneak attack, the humans breach the spaceship, forcing the aliens into a ground battle. Jake and Ella board the ship and free the captives, but Jake is captured. Dolarhyde rescues him and both men escape the ship after killing the alien leader. As the remaining aliens are taking off in their damaged craft, Ella sacrifices herself, destroying the ship using Jake’s gauntlet.

Jake’s memory partially returns, and some abducted townsfolk can recall their past. Still a wanted man, Jake decides to leave; the sheriff and Dolarhyde say they will claim that he was killed. The citizens intend to rebuild the town with the expectation that the newly discovered gold mine will soon bring many new settlers.

Mass gay wedding planned in Australia ahead of court fight

CANBERRA, Australia -- Gay and lesbian couples are planning to join in on a mass same-gender marriage ceremony on Dec. 7 as the Australian government plans a court fight to stop the nuptials.

ACT, the territory encompassing the nation's capital of Canberra, legalized marriage equality this week and the new law was immediately challenged to the High Court of Australia.

Today, the High Court resisted government efforts to expedite the case and adjourned the matter until Nov. 4. Australian media are reporting that hearing now are most likely to be set in early December.

Meanwhile, Ivan Hinton of Australian Marriage Equality told the media that 800 couples have already pledged to get married during a mass ceremony. Hinton proposed to his partner, Chris Teoh, during a news conference called after ACT passed the marriage law.

    ...does City of London police have any jurisdiction outside City of London? Registrar should not have caved in.

    I should like to point out that I, a registered voter and taxpayer, have never been asked whether I want my taxes spent on something so monumentally stupid as a Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit. And I suspect that its creation was an idea planted, bought, and paid for by You-Know-Who.

    Really? So all has to do is a dual search engine ("search for torrents or cat pictures!") and force users to do one cat picture search before they can do a torrent search. This way only 49% of searches are illegal and the service won't be shut down.

Storage Clips: Vendors tout granular Exchange backups

Atempo announced a customer win for its LiveServ Exchange backup and recovery product, and Lucid8 announced CDP and disaster recovery for Exchange.

Daily compilation of storage news:

VC firm picks Atempo LiveServ for Exchange
Atempo Inc. announced that Walden International has chosen Atempo LiveServ for Exchange to provide granular backup and recovery of the company's email data. Walden is a global venture capital (VC) firm, focusing on the communications, electronics, software and IT services, and semiconductor industries. Prior to LiveServ, restoring individual mailbox items from tape took an average of four to six hours. LiveServ splits up Exchange data into components for storage on disk, and such recoveries are reduced to minutes.

Walden International runs two LiveServ servers, one in San Francisco and one in Singapore. The company retains Exchange data at the message and database levels for three months before aging that data off to tape. The most common data recovery requests come from employees who have accidentally deleted emails, contacts or calendar items from their inboxes.

Lucid8 announces CDP, DR for Exchange
Lucid8 announced DigiVault 1.4, a continuous data protection (CDP) and disaster recovery (DR) product for Microsoft Exchange. Lucid8's DigiVault tracks changes to the Exchange database and stores these incremental changes as they are committed. Lucid8 is positioning the product to work alongside its GOexchange disaster prevention and database optimization product.

ADIC Pathlight certified with NetBackup
Advanced Digital Information Corp. (ADIC) announced that Symantec Corp. has qualified its Pathlight VX disk-to-tape backup product with Veritas Software Corp.'s NetBackup from Symantec as part of ADIC's participation in the Symantec Technology Enabled Program. The qualification means that end users of NetBackup Enterprise Server Edition and ADIC's Pathlight VX virtual tape library can combine trace data bar codes over tiers of disk and tape.

StoredIQ integrates with Centera
StoredIQ Inc. announced it has completed integration between the company's ICM 5000 content-based classification and policy management software and EMC Corp.'s Centera content addressed storage (CAS). The relationship allows for data classification and automated policies that copy, move, set retention or apply litigation to hold onto information going into Centera. StoredIQ is also now an EMC Velocity2 ISV CAS Specialty Advantage partner and will work closely to market and sell the combined solution.

Emulex announces HBA support for VMware 3
Emulex Corp. announced that its LightPulse line of host bus adapterss (HBA) will support VMware Infrastructure 3. Emulex HBA drivers are available and supported by VMware, beginning with VMware ESX Server 2. Customers deploying VMware Infrastructure 3 may now use both 2 Gbps and 4 Gbps HBAs, and boot from storage area network (SAN) capabilities from Emulex.

Step 4: Managing the BIOS password

An unknown BIOS password can be a pesky obstacle to overcome. Find out the best methods for solving this problem in this step-by-step guide.

Once you've guessed, cracked or somehow reset your BIOS password, it's time to think about handling things differently...

in the future. For starters, consider adding your own BIOS passwords yourself. I've always recommended at least protecting the BIOS configuration with a password. Sure, if it's easy to guess or accessible via a backdoor default, that can defeat the purpose. But, if anything, it can keep your non-technical users from going in and making configuration changes to their systems, locking you out and preventing administrative headaches down the road.

You could also consider adding power-on passwords to critical systems such as servers and laptops. It could be argued that every system is critical if it provides network access or contains sensitive information. (I haven't come across a computer that doesn't meet at least one of these criteria.) This could certainly add some administrative overhead, especially for remote users and servers stored in unmanaged offices or data centers that have to be rebooted occasionally. As I've shown here, adding BIOS passwords is not a foolproof measure, and they may just cause more trouble than they're worth, so proceed with caution. BIOS passwords do offer another layer of security that can buy you time or force an amateur hacker to give up. Bottom line, determine what's really at risk, how BIOS passwords would fit into your organization's culture and politics, and refer back to some alternate recommendations listed at the end of my laptop hacking guide.

Loathe: Yoko Ono for Opening Ceremony – UPDATED

yoko ono, opening ceremony, celebrity collaborations, loathe

Under no circumstances should a woman who dresses like this be allowed to design clothing, for anyone.

I have learnt to accept that celebrities with style (I am not going to say “good” style, because I don’t think many of them have this, but let’s say “style that is liked by the masses”) get asked to “design” collections for big brands. It is basically the norm in the fashion industry, and one of the reasons why I find the fashion business to be so utterly depressing at most times. However, I fail to understand why a celebrity with REALLY bad style is being asked to design a collection for the OPPOSITE SEX.

yoko ono, opening ceremony, celebrity collaborations, loathe

If these Yoko Ono sketches are to be considered good menswear design, then I shall quit fashion and will announce that ANYONE can in fact be a fashion designer as it takes NO SKILL AT ALL.

That’s basically the case with this latest collaboration announcement, Yoko Ono is going to design a men’s wear collection for Opening Ceremony. It is apparently based on “a series of drawings titled ‘Fashions for Men’ that Ono sketched as a gift for her late husband John Lennon on the occasion of their wedding in 1969″ (WWD). Isn’t that sweet? She took a crayon and did some drawings for her hubby and now we are all supposed to swoon? WTF! From what I’ve seen, the drawings are NOTHING special, and appear to have been sketched by a two year old. Plus, neither Yoko Ono or John Lennon had good style.

So why is Opening Ceremony letting her design a collection? I have no idea, but I am guessing it has something to do with getting press and bottom line. Ugh. I may have to hold a bed-in to protest this.

UPDATE: The collection has been released online. And it is even worse than anything I could have possible expected: Yoko Ono for Opening Ceremony.

Images from WWD and here.

    so apparently they had photoshop/adobe/tablets in the 70s? or that’s some really white paper! lol yoko is so bogus. do people like her?? i thought the general consensus for beatles/lennon fans disliked her. i guess anything yoko related (lady gaga’s duet with her, ugh) can be dismissed as cheap marketing towards the oblivious who don’t actually know anything about john lennon or the beatles .. <:D?

  • alexandrasuhnerisenberg

    I don’t like her!

  • alexandrasuhnerisenberg

    Of course I don’t like The Beatles, either. They say you are either into The Beatles or The Stones. Stones all the way!

  • Diane

    Wow… how are they selling a plastic board with bells on it a) as fashion, b) for $400? Or a hoodie with a butt on it? This is a joke, right?

  • alexandrasuhnerisenberg

    Sadly, I don’t think this is a joke. It is actually just the worse collaboration in the world.

    I love Yoko, but this is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

  • alexandrasuhnerisenberg

    Lol. That’s definitely the best way to put it.

    I’ve just check to the site and I can’t stop laughing…. OMG,,,, I used to hate loose and baggie harrem pants on men so much,but this collection is just ridiculous.Now I have to say that the baggie crotch are a bit better.And that lightbulb bra??I’m now speechless. Man,,, I can get a proper and much better pants with $10.

Avnet cuts deal with hoster PeakColo to offer NetApp Private Storage to channel partners

The deal between Avnet Technology Solutions and PeakColo is bearing fruit in the form of NetApp Private Storage for Amazon Web Services.

Today’s announcement of NetApp Private Storage for Amazon Web Services (AWS) from Avnet Technology Solutions (ATS)...

is the first offering from the distributor resulting from its new partnership with PeakColo to expand cloud offerings via Avnet channel partners in the U.S.

And it won’t be the last. ATS, the global IT solutions distribution and operating group of Avnet Inc., has plans to design and develop additional enterprise-class Infrastructure as a Service (IaasS) cloud packages powered by Peak for channel partners to offer to their business customers.

The initial cloud offering is the NetApp Private Storage for AWS data center as a service offering, which integrates NetApp FAS enterprise storage, AWS cloud and network resources, and colocation services.

Avnet is making NetApp Private Storage for AWS powered by Peak available to partners in a pre-architected Avnet CloudAttach package called the CloudAttach 500-S. Retail pricing for the CloudAttach 500-S package starts at $13,500 per month.  The package requires a minimum 12-month commitment, according to the distributor.

“This offering allows customers to consume the technology in an as-a-service offering that doesn’t require them to own any assets,” said Tim FitzGerald, vice president of Avnet Cloud Solutions, Avnet Services, Americas.

NetApp Private Storage for AWS powered by Peak includes the NetApp FAS, in contrast to three other existing NetApp Private Storage for AWS offerings that require customers to purchase their own storage array, according to FitzGerald.

As part of a new Avnet Cloud Accelerator Program Powered by Peak, channel partners are able to white-label the Avnet/Peak package to help them build out a cloud practice. Other program features include:

  • A cloud services platform based on open compute and FlexPod infrastructure.
  • No sales competition from Peak.
  • Deal registration.
  • An ecosystem of complementary software and hardware.
  • MDF based on deal volumes.
  • Sales incentives for deal registration and sales.
  • A self-service portal.

Partners can make money selling the new cloud offering and then by adding services over and above NetApp Private Storage for AWS powered by Peak.

An incremental solution that partners can add, for example, is application hosting and management. An end client may buy a number of virtual machines and run VMware and run that on top of the OS and infrastructure that PeakColo offers as IaaS.

“The partner works with the client to identify on-premise applications and helps with the migration of the workload to PeakColo. The partner can make money on the assessment, the migration and by managing the new application running on the virtual servers powered by PeakColo,” said FitzGerald.

PeakColo, in business since 2006, is an enterprise-class IaaS cloud service provider that focuses exclusively on the channel, not competing against its partners in a hosting capacity. Headquartered in Denver, the company delivers services out of its Denver, Seattle, New Jersey, New York, Chicago and U.K. data centers.

While not committing to any rollout schedule, ATS will develop additional integrated and packaged off-premises cloud solutions for its partners powered by Peak. The solutions will address IT infrastructure challenges that customers face related to production workloads, business continuity, disaster recovery, storage and networking.

“ATS has been in active development for the past 18 months to bring new solutions to market,” FitzGerald said.

Proactive planning crucial to avoiding SharePoint chaos

When orders to install SharePoint come from the top, IT managers need a plan to mitigate potential conflicts.

SEATTLE -- Although SharePoint is already popular in the enterprise, a lack of proper governance policies in some...

enterprises may keep the collaborative application from proliferating even more than it already has.

At the SharePoint Conference here, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates told attendees that by July there will be about 100 million licensed SharePoint users.

More SharePoint News
Microsoft expands SharePoint services for all IT shops

SharePoint brings app challenges to Windows shops
But it's unclear how many of that 100 million are actually actively running SharePoint.

That's because in some companies, where the SharePoint installation is not a bottom-up departmental installation but a top-down directive from senior management, many IT shops are delaying deployments until managers can be sure the sites will have appropriate corporate controls.

One such company is Westinghouse Electric Co., a Monroeville, Pa.-based division of Toshiba Corp., which has about 10,000 inactive SharePoint licenses. The company is currently crafting guidelines that are in line with its needs, according to David Paterline, a business analyst at the company.

Brace for out-of-control, unattended data

IT managers like Paterline know that SharePoint is not just something you roll out. Once SharePoint is in the enterprise it will grow unabated. Without proper governance, sites with inactive content and without clear ownership could proliferate and sit unattended, and storage requirements could explode and slow the SQL Server databases that sit below SharePoint.

"If you don't do SharePoint right the first time, you are going to spend twice as much the second time," said Errin O'Connor, founder and CEO at EPC, a Houston consulting firm. O'Connor is a SharePoint expert who is currently working on 18 installations of SharePoint in the Houston area alone.

One reason why governance planning is so important now is that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is light years improved over Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 2003. A lot of companies with deployments of WSS 2003 made some of their mistakes early in the game.

All it takes is one failed backup or poorly executed disaster recovery, and if there were two or three users who had presentations and lost them, you will have lost their support, O'Connor said. So those who are taking the time to plan are doing it the right way.

In the case of Westinghouse, the slow rollout is not because of a previous, chaotic experience with SharePoint. Rather, the company is trying to institute a cultural change. Westinghouse has a lot of technical employees who are used to working independently. Since SharePoint is a collaborative tool, Paterline must sell the company on why it needs a culture change for how it manages information.

Engineers who don't normally collaborate need to learn how to work together. "We need to get people to understand why they would use a wiki," Paterline said.

Establish governance for structure, oversight, protection

Every corporation is different, so the development of governance and policies will vary from one company to the next. Governance offers a structure to mitigate conflicts. "It's about having a vision and managing it," said Joel Oleson, senior technical product manager of SharePoint at Microsoft, in a session at the conference this week.

Oleson laid out a list of 10 steps for creating a successful SharePoint installation. He recommends the following:

  • Have an executive sponsor in the company who can show leadership and get the company to rally behind the project.
  • Define a clear vision and goals for the project. What are you trying to accomplish? Is it a place to store documents or collaborate?
  • Assemble skilled teams. There are defined roles on the business side, on the IT side and on the development side. For example, if business analysts don't understand SharePoint, they might not be able to translate the project well to developers. Creative design teams may not know the limitations of SharePoint.
  • Make sure employee trainers understand SharePoint.
  • You are not just building an application for a business unit, but a service offering. There are all sorts of SharePoint installations and you need to know the different controls and management aspects of each. High-value, custom applications require heavy integration with line-of-business applications. And there are commodity-hosted applications, such as blogs or a document workspace. Some are short term and ad hoc. Others are long term and highly structured.
  • Determine if it is easy to search.
  • Create standards and policies.
  • Know how you will roll out code, release patches, etc. Prepare for configuration management and release management.
  • Recognize that training does not end. This is a cultural change.
  • Keep your project simple.

Food as a Weapon?

A lot of people, experts in their fields, have said that the nations food supply is a prime target for terrorist attacks. Low levels of bio-terror could be inflicted on different parts of the supply chain to disrupt the flow of the food somehow. And not that we've heard anything about organized efforts to this end, large outbreaks of food poisoning do seem to be breaking out with startling regularity:
  • More than 300 people say they became ill, and at least three have been hospitalized, after eating at an Olive Garden restaurant last weekend, health officials said Friday. The customers complained of nausea, vomiting, fever and diarrhea.

    "We're trying to isolate what the cause of the illness might be," said Marion County Health Department spokesman John Althardt.

It's good to know that the local health authorities and the CDC can accurately pinpoint the source of an outbreak within days of occurring, but what about prevention of an actual attack that targets something in the production chain?

maybe just maybe lets say this is a test run of a terrorist attack. Follow me here.

If you were going to try and attack the US food supply what better way to try and see how far you can get. The media's coverage is getting the word out about it event, but also lets the Terrorist know what happens in an outbreak of E coli. What if a different strain had been used? Can you say mass casualties?

My daughter the Microbioligist grad student explained that it is possible to grow bugs and introduce them into the food supply that would make E. Coli look like a walk in the park. Accorking to her any College or University Lab has the right equipment.

If this is an attack; it just further shows the vulnerability of the US food supply.

If it is not...Guess the FDA's inspectors are about as straight as City Hall's hired truck program.

Every day that passes with out a Terrorist attack lulls us further into a false sense of security.

Exitmusic Profiled in New York Magazine, Premiere “The Hours” MP3

Exitmusic, photo courtesy of New York Magazine

This week, Exitmusic’s Aleksa Palladino and Devon Church are featured in New York Magazine. The article recounts how the two met on a Canadian train ride at the age of 18, and details Exitmusic’s first performance of their Piano’s residency (The second of which is tonight. Go already!!).

Yesterday, New York Magazine’s Vulture blog also premiered “The Hours,” an anthemic and swirling highlight from the band’s forthcoming From Silence EP (out October 4).

Exitmusic Announce “From Silence” EP, Residency at NYC’s Pianos

New York City duo Exitmusic — comprised of Aleksa Palladino and Devon Church — will release their first EP this fall. The four song collection, entitled From Silence, will hit stores on October 4. They’ve also just announced a special late summer residency at NYC’s Pianos, rounding out their ranks onstage to include drummer Dru Prentiss and electronic musician Nicholas Shelestak.

Listen to “The Sea” from the forthcoming EP HERE. See Exitmusic’s tour dates & the From Silence track listing, and read more about the band after the jump.

Basking in the Suuns at CMJ

CMJ Festival takes over New York and Brooklyn for five days every year, but it only took one day and two performances for Suuns to take over the festival. Apparently the tasty soul food and pies at Pies N’ Thighs is the perfect fuel for dark drone electro-pop (I should have known something brilliant was in the works when the guys got all Popeyed up, devouring heaping plates of creamed spinach). Suuns started the evening with a set at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase at Music Hall of Williamsburg where apparently hipsters were actually dancing (!) to their set. Photos of the performance can be seen HERE.

From there Suuns headed into New York for a late night set at Piano’s where they looked downright deadly under a wash of murderous red light. They performed with a supreme intensity that brought the crowd to a fever pitch. After witnessing this performance Jon Pareles of the New York Times called Suuns “Drone Scholars” continuing, “They can let a chord ballon into psychedelic meditation (abetted by a guest saxophone honker), work a drone riff into a dance beat, hurl one at hardcore speed for a intense one-minute song, or peck at it with the obsessiveness of a kraut-rock band… there was rigorous strategy behind every gorgeous onslaught” (read the full review HERE). NPR was in the house too, and captured a little video of the set which you can check out above.

Below is a brief recap on each of the top-volume, news-driven movers in Monday's after hours, taking a look at specific stocks' after hours movement and how that trade may offer insight into potential floor supports, ceilings and trading ranges that could develop in Tuesday's pre-market and early regular session.

Brocade (NASDAQ:BRCD) advanced 5.5% at 4.73 in Monday's after hours trading after posting better-than-expected Q4 results. BRCD popped from the 4.48 mark to an early after hours high of 4.87. It fell back to about 4.51 before settling between 4.67 and 4.77 through the bulk of its evening action. A pre-market open Tuesday looks to have legs near 4.65 to 4.75. BRCD just favors more aggressive next-day same-direction trading than a reversal pattern over the last nine years. The stock has added to its extended-hours performance in next-day regular session trade in 20 of its last 34 earnings events and narrowed or reversed in the other 14. In the near-term, the stock favors widening its share move between the sessions, doing so in seven of the last eight quarters. Looking deeper into the performance data, BRCD is about evenly mixed on the long side, splitting its trade between either widening or narrowing its earnings-driven gains in follow-on regular session play. The mixed trade off earnings-driven after hours gains gives us some pause on the long side, but the broader widening pattern in place may hold out some early prospects for longs to catch some outsized added gains through the morning hours on Tuesday. Early longs may want to target possible upside entry points between 4.59 and 4.70, an area that could form as a near-term floor support and perhaps see some bumps back into the 4.70s.

Dycom (NYSE:DY) advanced 7.4% at 20.70 in Monday's after hours following its better-than-expected Q1 results. DY firmed to plus-side levels of 19.80 to a high of 20.90 and stayed in this area through the bulk of evening action. A pre-bell open Tuesday may have legs surrounding the 20.40 area. Buyers looked confident in Monday's after hours between 19.80 and 20.40, a range where a possible bottom support could form early Tuesday for longs to watch and perhaps catch some upside turns into the higher 20s.

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) slipped 2.1% at 26.28 in Monday's evening session after beating Q4 expectations but also setting its guidance below the Street view. HPQ swung between an early after hours low of 26.03 and a high of 28.34 before setting off on a session-long slide from 27.91 to a late low of 25.95. A pre-bell open Tuesday may have potential in the 26.45 to 26.00 area. HPQ is favoring a pattern where it follows through with more aggressive next-day regular session trade following an earnings-driven after-hours move. It has moved more aggressively in the same direction the next day in 19 of 31 quarters. In the near term, it has added to its evening performance in next-day trade in 11 of the last 15 quarters. Looking deeper into HPQ's movement between the sessions, it has seen an earnings-driven after hours decline in 14 of the 31 quarters we've tracked. In 12 of those quarters, 86% of the time, HPQ has followed its evening decline with a deeper percentage move south in the following regular session. The strong widening trend in place on the downside would have us looking at a short play in HPQ shares Tuesday. Early shorts may want to target possible entry points between 26.75 and 26.25, an area that stood as a ceiling level through the mid-session and second-half of night trade.

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Live, Love, Sangria!
Follow our story as we start a business using our home sangria recipe...

These days it seems more and more that we are accomplishing what we
set out to achieve. Both Senor Sangria Red and White continue to be a huge
success. 2012 is rockin’ along with the summer heat. We’re psyched
and busy as hell as we are working hard to meet demand. But, July quickly
became August. In the blink of an eye September will arrive. Before
you know it, fall is here, and – for some reason – demand drops off
(note: Sangria tastes just as good in the fall!).

So the process of setting goals for 2013 that will dust 2012’s
accomplishments is once again on the forefront of our minds. We want
to keep our feet-on-the-street by continuing to sell and market
our brand. We want to sell more through today’s retailers and
distributors. We want to expand to more states. We want to add
more distributors. Heck, we might even want to introduce
something new… The list goes on and on!

We’ll keep you posted, but In the meantime…stay cool by drinking a big glass of sangria :) and Cheers to everyone!

  • Debby

    I have just discovered your Sangria and the word is spreading…it is absolutely fantastic!  Coming from San Diego, CA where Mexican food/sangria are plentiful, this is THE BEST sangria I have ever had.
    I happened upon it in a Shelter Island, NY liquor store where the owner had two liquor salesmen visiting and we were asked to try some samples.  I tried both the red and the white and what flavor they have, especially when chilled.  I immediately asked them where I could purchase it close to my home and they directed me to the place.  I was there the next week making the purchase of both kinds!  Thank you for all your hard work…I wish you much success.

    P.S.  I will be drinking it ALL YEAR ROUND  :)

  • Snype

    I sampled both the red and white in our local CT liquor store warehouse ( I am not certain if I can say the name of the store so I wont)
    This was the 1st “red” wine that I've ever liked so of course I purchased a bottle of red and white because I had a party and wanted my guests to enjoy it and it was a HUGE HIT.

  • SenorSangria

    Hey Snype…

    Thanks for taking the time to send us this message. We are fairly new to the CT market and are trying our best to build up our following. Thank you for taking the time to sample our sangria. Please tell all your friends about our sangria we need all the help we can get.

  • joi

    My mother introduce me to you guys during a recent trip to New Jersey and I am hooked!!! I live in Jacksonville, FL. Is there a local store that sells your sangria??

  • Roycondell

    has anyone tried the red warm?  like a mulled wine?

  • Guest

    I just received a bottle for Christmas…OMG…this is the best sangria I've ever tasted! Expand to Delaware please!

Sample Description

To prepare for this case study, students do background reading on landslides and rock avalanches and read the introductory portion of Hermanns and Strecker's 1999 article on rock avalanches in Argentina. In class, students receive data (assembled from figures in the article) on bedrock geology and physiography, as well as stereonets showing orientations of prominent joint sets, bedding, and foliations in the bedrock. Their task is to answer the question of why gigantic rock avalanches occur is some places but not others in this part of Argentina. The activity gives students practice in interpreting geologic maps, using stereonets, and peer teaching. Each student receives one of four possible data sets and must ultimately explain his/her analysis to others. The activity also connects structural geology to another geoscience discipline.

any storage controller that can do RAID-0 can do JBOD?

Am looking for a storage solution using ZFS, currently have Dell Perc5i and 6i not sure about their capabilities for JBOD.

does ZFS really only need JBOD for RAIDZ, RAIDZ2 etc?

share|improve this question
Yes, but I've never come across a good reason for using JBOD - and there's lots of bad ones. –  symcbean Jul 19 '10 at 11:22
interestingly one of the largest mail systems around is all based on jbod's. –  tony roth Jul 19 '10 at 18:15
What server is this going into? what slot type? how many disks of what type? –  Chopper3 Jul 19 '10 at 18:41

Yes, even non-RAID controller can do JBOD. This is even more basic than RAID-0.

share|improve this answer
does this mean any RAID controller is good for ZFS? –  John-ZFS Jul 19 '10 at 9:36
Yes, if you plan to use RAID-Z. However RAID-Z is heavily taxing for the CPU. If you don't plan to use specific ZFS features, IMO hardware RAID is better. –  wazoox Jul 20 '10 at 11:42
Sorry Wazoox, the Dell PERC 5i and PERC 6i don't support a passthrough or JBOD mode at all. Additionally, anytime you let ZFS store the data redundantly (not just RAIDZ, but Mirrors too) you benefit from ZFS end-to-end checksumming and it's ability to catch and silently recover from bit errors. When you abstract the mirrored disks away from ZFS using your raid controller, ZFS can only notify of block corruption and can't self heal. –  notpeter Jul 22 '10 at 22:54
@notpeter whilst there's no direct JBOD passthrough, you can create a RAID0 array for each drive, which is essentially the same thing. –  Mark Henderson Jul 23 '10 at 4:47
@notpeter please notice that all true RAID controllers allow scrubbing, which basically comes free (it doesn't hinder performance significantly), which isn't the case with RAID-Z. –  wazoox Jul 23 '10 at 10:30

JBOD is 'Just a Bunch Of Disks' and is essentially non-RAID. It's essentially using the RAID controller as just a pure disk controller. I believe that ZFS does its own internal storage management, which is why this is a valid thing to do with ZFS. Note that 'valid' is not the same as 'ideal'; it depends a bit on how much redundancy you want.

share|improve this answer

The Perc5i and Perc6i are lame in this respect (no JBOD) and thus not particularly well suited for ZFS. Others have had good luck with the Dell SAS 6i/r as it can be acquired relatively cheaply (~$150) and I believe can operate in non-raid JBOD mode. I'd give Dell a ring and ask first, since I've never used it that way myself. Don't mention ZFS when you call, just ask them if the SAS6i can present drives without any RAID protection or whether they must be part of a RAID0/1 virtual disk.

ZFS wants your disks, not an abstracted 'virtual disk' or LUN. With any configuration (single drive/mirrors/stripes/raidz) ZFS will use your CPU to calculate block checksums for data integrity. With RAID-Z/RAID-Z2, ZFS additionally computes parity blocks using your CPU (RAID5/RAID6 on a PERC5/PERC6 has an onboard chip for this). If you do mirroring, ZFS doesn't need to calculate parity and thus has lower cpu overhead (only checksums, no parity) yet since it has access to multiple copies of the data ZFS will notice any corrupted blocks (on read or scrub) and self heal.

share|improve this answer

There's a very important distinction between JBOD and Raid-0 that I haven't seen anyone mention: when a disk fails in a single-disk-Raid-0, it means that that whole Raid-0 has failed, and that means that you can't replace the failed disk without rebooting the server (unless you are able to use a raid utility like MegaCli, but that doesn't seem to be very easy). If a disk fails in JBOD mode, you should be able to hot-swap the drive and ZFS will rebuild the ZFS pool.

See this thread: MegaRAID JBOD substitute

Another thing to keep in mind, is that you should technically be using a raid-enabled drive (like WD Caviar RE or Barracuda ES drives) in JBOD mode. If not, the raid controller may erroneously detach a disk that is busy trying to repair itself. But at least you'll be able to hot-swap it.

From wikipedia page on ZFS: "Note that hardware RAID configured as JBOD may still detach disks that do not respond in time; and as such may require TLER/CCTL/ERC-enabled disks to prevent drive dropouts: [29]"

I have a LAMP server which hosts multiple sites. That server has a static IP address. What I would like to do is to point different domain names to different virtual hosts. For example:

Domain Names abc.com xyz.com

Virtual Host Paths /var/www/sites/abc /var/www/sites/xyz

I would like to have abc.com point to the /var/www/sites/abc site and xyz.com to point to the /var/www/sites/xyz site.

Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do from both an Apache and DNS configuration standpoint?

It is also worth noting my host is Linode.

Thanks in advance!

DNS: Set up each domain name to point to the same static IP address. Nothing else is required, there.

Apache: Turn on Name-based virtual hosts: NameVirtualHost *:80

Then for each virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName abc.com
        ServerAdmin <email address>

        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/abc

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/abc/abc-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/abc/abc-access.log combined

The log directives aren't required for virtual hosting, but I like to log access and errors separately for each vhost, and this lets you achieve that. (make sure the directory exists, though, or apache will fail to start).

Also, if you only want to enable virtual hosting on the one IP address replace *:80 with <ipaddress>:80 in the above.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/ for more info...

share|improve this answer

Yes. That's exactly what named based virtual hosts are used for. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/name-based.html

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

hey it would be cool if you derscribe exactly what usage you have for the tool, there are many different tools in linux with lots of functionality. For Roundtrip stuff you can use Tcpdump, otherwise i would also recommend Wireshark. –  Oliver Stutz Jun 19 '12 at 7:40
Wireshark looks good is there any thing that can give a graphical view like Visual Round Trip Analyzer where it shows the number of packets/requests per port? –  kumar Jun 19 '12 at 10:03

How about Wireshark? It's a network analyzer which can capture and display any network traffic - and it works on Windows too.

share|improve this answer
Wireshark can load "tcpdump" files and both are based on libpcap, so why not point out both? –  0xC0000022L Mar 11 '13 at 17:38

I am partial to iptraf, should be available in most distribution repositories!

share|improve this answer

That depends on what you want to get. Just a small list of tools to start from:

  • wireshark (ethereal) -- a great tool to analyze the network traffic
  • tshark — wireshark with a console interface
  • tcpdump — lightweight traffic sniffer and analyzer; almost always is installed
  • trafshow — a tool that shows you which traffic goes through an interface and where it goes
  • different netflow tools — they do the same but in more enterprise fashion
share|improve this answer
don't forget iftop –  HTDutchy Jun 20 '12 at 12:40

If you just want to see if there is any traffic or errors on network interfaces in real-time, then something like the following could be handy:

$ watch -d ifconfig
share|improve this answer
Also vnstat to keep record of the usage ... –  0xC0000022L Mar 11 '13 at 17:39

Check out ntop: http://www.ntop.org/

share|improve this answer

As Matthew Gall responded, iptraf is always a handy tool to determine bandwidth usage on a network interface basis. Also iftop is another utility, i will recommend reading the below post. Network traffic and bandwidth monitoring in linux

share|improve this answer

Wireshark. You should be happy with it. But remember to setup Wireshark to run as non root user: http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/7523/ubuntu-machine-no-interfaces-listed

share|improve this answer

Wireshark is the way to go, but when you install it on Linux you may also need to install a package called "wireshark-gnome". After installation, run it by typing "wireshark" into a terminal.

I'd like to have postfix relay incoming email to one of 5 possible recipients in a somewhat random - or at least evenly distributed way.

for example, when a message addressed to help@domain.com arrives at the postfix server, i'd like that message to be related to one of : admin1@domain.com, admin2@domain.com, admin3@domain.com, admin4@domain.com, or admin5@domain.com.

each incoming message would go to one of the adminX addresses and all messages would be load balanced across all 5 evenly(ish).

is that doable?

share|improve this question

No, postfix can't do that by itself. A procmail filter might help, but why not set up a real ticketing system where you can track progress of issues, share them and make sure things proceed when an admin goes on holiday?

OTRS is a decent ticketing system for smaller environments. Atlassian JIRA is good too, but rather expensive. There are other options too of course :)

share|improve this answer
Jira is not a troubleticketing system. I'd suggest RT4 for the easiest to use and set up. –  adaptr Jan 28 '13 at 9:51
Jira is definitely useful as a ticketing system. Or at least my 170000 tickets think so :) I find RT more an exercise in masochism than a ticketing system, though I've not used RT4 yet. –  Dennis Kaarsemaker Jan 28 '13 at 9:56
But it is a bugtracker. It has no sane options to control ticket flows without re-programming the whole damn thing. –  adaptr Jan 28 '13 at 10:24
You mean RT4 right? :) –  Dennis Kaarsemaker Jan 28 '13 at 10:42
Argh burble urgh you...you... –  adaptr Jan 28 '13 at 11:34

You might be able to send to a common address and then program procmail to do something like this.

share|improve this answer

If you are interested in commercial solution I can add this feature to MSH Traffic Policy - server side rules for automatic content control and flow administration for Postfix and Sendmail.

Application has big potential, so if you want to try it, let me know.

share|improve this answer

I definitely agree with the need to have a real ticket system...if that is what you are trying to do.

That being said, you CAN do this by using a combination of postfix and haproxy. You will need to setup multiple instances of postfix (take a look at the "postmulti" command), one for each user you need to include. You then have each instance send all it's mail to one user (lookup the luser_relay in the Postfix configuration docs.)

Once you have multiple instances setup and running on different posts (all must run on something other than 25), setup haproxy on port 25 and have it load balance between the instances.

Here is my rss blogroll list:

and you cant go past: XKCD

For SQLServer see Brent Ozar

Brent is already making name for himself here on SF serverfault.com/users/431/brent-ozar –  bendewey May 1 '09 at 21:12
thanks, sir! –  Brent Ozar May 28 '10 at 11:35

Mark Russinovich's blog is very technical and comes highly recommended. You'll learn a lot about how Windows actually works including lots of examples of troubleshooting difficult real world problems.

Mark explores (and solves) lots of problems that many would explain by saying things like 'Windows slows down if you've had it installed for a long time'. Those same people will then tell you that reinstalling / rebooting is the best solution.

That is a great blog, though it would be nice if he updated more frequently! –  Keithius May 28 '09 at 15:55

Raymond Chen to find out why Windows is the way it is; some of the content is very developer-technical in C and over my head, but much of it isn't.

The Official Microsoft blog from your product teams - Exchange, Word, ISA, SBS, etc.

For malware, Graham Cluley is excellent

Raymond Chen has incredible insight to the fundamentals of Windows. Highly recommended. –  Frode Lillerud May 5 '09 at 16:11

I've recently become hooked on the Security Now podcast.

I like the content but I want to smack Leo Laporte –  Joe Philllips May 28 '09 at 16:47

Robert X. Cringely -IT Industry commentary

Dilbert Blog - sometimes IT, very funny

Cringley is more of a global insight reporter. I love his postings, but they are more of a speculation based on facts rather then a general IT blog. –  mrTomahawk May 5 '09 at 15:47

http://blogs.technet.com/askds/default.aspx - MS Directory Services blog, useful for DFS and file related information

http://www.istartedsomething.com/ - Not so much IT Admin, as general Windows/computing news, but a good resources.

http://news.zdnet.com/ - Opinion articles may not be agreeable, but usually a good source of news.

RunAsRadio - a podcast for IT professionals. Although not a blog it still gives IT pro's a steady stream of valuable info on a variety of topics.

The Microsoft Blogs are really great across the board. A few favorites:

I despise MS documentation as it's generally written in some oddball bureaucratese language with lots of circular references. I find the folks writing the blogs to be a breath of fresh air as they actually write in English.

While not a blog, I get a ton of useful info from the Ars Technica Forums, Ben Rockwood's blog for Sun stuff and tons of others that aren't coming to mind. Google Reader is my friend.

Not a blog, but an excellent source of the same type of information

Linux Journal

Need more linux answers to this question too...

  • IT Toolbox has a few good blogs on a variety of IT topics.
  • Compsci.ca can also have some good blog posts at times if you are ok with it being university students posting mostly.

Not a blog per se, but hacker news has an awesome collection of posts (voted by the users).

In no particular order:

  • Scott Lowe's blog is quite specialized to Virtualization and enterprise storage but it's excellent in that niche.
  • High Scalability is an aggregator of all things massively scaled, not much content there that won't appear in other places but it does bring it all together in one RSS feed.
  • Bitdroppings is good, low traffic though.
  • Matasano Chargen is extremely focused on security and pen testing but it's fantastically well written.
  • Max Indelicato's blog on 'distributed, scalable, software systems design and development.'

For security, one of my favorites is DarkNet.org.uk.

How is Joel On Software not listed so far? Given his close association with this site!

but his blog is more about the software, not really IT-related. –  kentchen Jun 18 '09 at 6:59
not always, his posts about beauricracy and how a good it team should work are applicable to everyone. –  Mark Henderson Jun 18 '09 at 20:18
didn't he quit that blog recently though? –  Oskar Duveborn May 28 '10 at 12:31
Not entirely, its focus changed a few months ago. –  Mark Henderson May 29 '10 at 8:35

There's the mother of all IT blogs: http://planetsysadmin.com/

There's Anton Chuvakin's Security Warrior Blog: http://chuvakin.blogspot.com/

Marcus J Ranum's site is sort of a blog and has valuable if infrequently updated information: http://www.ranum.com/

Uber Geek Brian K Jones has a blog at his amusingly named domain. It delves into mostly *nix issues. He is responsible for introducing me to and convincing me of the concept that SysAdmins should be proficient in at least one programming language: http://www.protocolostomy.com/

Bruce Schneier's blog and Crypto Gram newsletter is a must for anyone interested in security. It doesn't just focus on computer security, but a much more comprehensive thought process. Watching Schneier and Ranum face off is an enlightening experience. http://www.schneier.com/blog/

Basically, peruse the many blogs in the Planet SysAdmin blog roll. In fact, I see at least one person from that blog roll on this site. ::waves at Matt Simmons::

I'm also on planet-sysadmin. I've met Ranum and Schneier and can attest they both rawk. –  sysadmin1138 Jun 18 '09 at 2:13
Don't forget to check marcus "rear guard" security podcast rearguardsecurity.com. It's very sincere about security and IT facts (trust, codpendence, honesty...) –  chmeee Jun 18 '09 at 7:21

A good Exchange blog:

Interesting posts on some technical AD topics.

Author of adfind and admod (plus others) tools.

Jurgen Appelo, NOOP.NL blogs author, published Top 100 best blogs for Developers here. Maybe it could be useful for you.

Some of my favorite sysadmin/operations/IT blogs:
