Britney wants to put the child support battle behind her, but Kevin Federline is digging his heels in the sand.
Britney wants to put the child support battle behind her, but Kevin Federline is digging his heels in the sand.
[adinserter block="1″]
If you're a little lost, swipe down to read about Britney and Kevin's ongoing child support battle.
In short, Kevin is demanding an additional $20,000 per month from Britney (a total of $40,000), but she's rejecting the offer.
See what Exhale is saying about this.
According to a new report from The Blast, Team B has agreed to meet in the middle – offering K-Fed an additional $10,000 (a total of $30,000), but Kevin is adamant he deserves the full $20,000 extra he's requesting.
Kevin's lawyer says Kevin wants "the reasonable needs of the children to be met," but Team Spears isn't buying that. They believe he wants the money to support his other four kids and, basically, not work like the rest of the entire world.
Fed may want to take the deal, especially considering he's got more than $80,000 in legal bills right now. Just a thought.
[adinserter block="2″]
Britney's vacation to Miami couldn't have come at a better time.
During her time away, Kevin Federline's lawyer subpoenaed the pop star in the ex-couples' ongoing child support battle
"Her lawyer, Laura Wasser, accepted the subpoena on Britney's behalf," a source explains to Us Magazine. "The subpoena also included financial discovery, including Britney's most recent tax returns, and a completed income and expense declaration."
[adinserter block="3″]
The deposition will take place in the next two weeks.
See what Exhale is saying about this.
It's worth mentioning Britney's rumored new single, "Apple Pie," is also supposed to premiere in the next two weeks. Thanks, K-Fed.
To get the full scoop, continue reading the original report below.
IF you're not up to speed with Britney and Kevin's latest legal drama, I suggest giving this story a read first. It details the ups and downs leading up to now, as well as Kevin's letter begging Britney for more money per month (he currently receives $20,000, and reportedly wants it upped to $40,000). Heads up: it's hard to read.
[adinserter block="4″]
Alright, now that you're in the know, it's time to fill you in on the latest K-Fed plea. His longtime attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, gave an interview to Us Weekly (the audacity!) about his client and Britney's child support battle.
In an effort to get information on her financial status, Kevin and Kaplan plan on deposing Britney. They previously tried to get this information, but she declined to provide it. They want this because Britney is an exceptional earner and K-Fed wants a piece of it.

This Was Hard To Read. Kevin Federline Writes Legal Letter Begging Britney For Child Support Increase: "I am simply less of a 'name'"
After her tumultuous times more than a decade ago, Britney lost sole physical and legal custody of their two sons, and in the eyes of the court this has not changed. K-Fed allows "for very liberal visitation in which Britney and Kevin have the boys 50/50," says a source to the mag. "It's at Kevin's sole discretion how often and when the boys see Britney."
That sounds threatening.
Us' insider also believes Kevin "has gone above and beyond what most people would do in his situation." If you fill in the blanks, that translates to Kevin feels he deserves an increase in child support.
Kaplan explains Kevin wants "the reasonable needs of the children to be met."
[adinserter block="5″]
It's worth reminding you Kevin has four other children as well (six total).
A source close to Britney says that "all of [Preston and Jayden's] expenses are paid for," and notes that Kevin's four other children are "not Britney's responsibility."
Here's the depressing and problematic part. The source adds that Britney is "extremely concerned" about losing her visitation rights if she doesn't appease Kevin's monetary request. His lawyer refutes that, saying "this is only about Kevin's request for a reasonable payment increase," but that's not what the underlying message is if you read between the lines.
Can K-Fed prove in a court of law exactly why he needs an additional $20,000 per month to care for Sean and Jayden? Let's see those receipts first… then come cry to Us Weekly, yeah?

8 Super Health Benefits of Saffron
Saffron is commonly known as the "saffron crocus" and very popular around the world. The spice saffron is derived from saffron rose, a perennial plant related to the lily (and scientifically got the name – Crocus sativus).

Ang sabi ni Ryan Agoncillo:
Sabi nito, "It's not true that we don't want to work together anymore. We still have film commitments with Regal and OctoArts together. Funny, but after the successful SSS and Ysabella, ang ABS ang may planong paghiwalayin kami ng soap opera. To think na unlike Sa Piling Mo with Juday and Piolo [Pascual] and the new soap with Derek and Juday, wala pa kaming soap na kami talaga ni Juday ang tinatayaan. Not Krystala, dahil tatlo kaming ipinackage na leading men nina TJ [Trinidad] at Sid [Lucero]. And not Ysabella, which was sold as a Juday starrer with a triangle. In fairness to me, kailan kaya ako tatayaan ng ABS at magiging priority like other stars na sunud-sunod at maraming projects sa kanila?

How to Get Cheap Car Insurance for Veterans
Sure, serving your country should be more than enough reason to get cheap rates for car insurance. However, you may find other factors can help you get even lower auto rates. In many cases, this can also include your immediate family, especially those members living at home with you.
- Your driving record helps a lot. Part of the reason you often find affordable veterans' auto insurance is that statistics indicate veterans are more likely to have a better driving record. If your driving record is mostly clean to perfect, you can expect to see even more impressive low auto insurance coverage rates.
- The car you drive also affects your rates. A brand new financed red convertible sports car will bring your rates up much higher than a safe family vehicle you have paid for in full. Just be aware of things such as this, especially before getting yourself into a brand new auto loan. Some people have found their car insurance premiums to be as high as their car loan per month.
- If you are paying several different companies for many different policies, it is time to find out if putting an end to this can save you money. Not only will you cut down on costs, but you may find it much easier to pay the bills each month. For example if you have motorcycle, boat, mobile home and renters insurance all with different companies, you could save when you bundle your policies to be covered by one provider. Make sure you ask about this when comparing rates.
- Beef up your security and your safety features, and watch how you get even better rates on your car insurance for veterans' policy. Auto insurance providers like to see all the whistles and bells when it comes to safety features. So if you are getting a new vehicle, add these on or see about having some installed in the car you already have. This includes anti-theft devices such as car alarms.
Find Out How to Save
Even if you already have a car coverage policy in place, it is time to start putting your rates to the test. In fact, every time your renewal comes up for review on your auto insurance you should be evaluating your coverage and costs.

By Andrew Lambe. 7th December 2012
In Budget 2013 the Irish Government wielded the axe against it's citizens in the form of tax increases, benefit cuts and the introduction of a property tax, however for the taxation of companies in Ireland the effect is minimal. In fact, there is some good news from the Budget for those considering the registration of a company in Ireland in 2013. As expected, the main corporate tax rate of 12.5% is being retained and the Irish Government have once again reaffirmed their absolute commitment to same.
The main points for Directors of limited companies and those considering an Irish company setup are as follows:
Corporation tax exemption for start-ups
The 3 year tax relief for start-up companies is being reformed to allow any unused credits be carried forward beyond the first 3 years of trading. This is subject to the maximum amount of relief in any one year not exceeding the eligible amount of employers' PRSI in that year.
Closed Company Surcharge
The minimum level at which this charge applies has been increased to €2,000 from €635. The aim is to reduce the administrative burden and assist in cash flow for SMEs.
Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit
The first €200,000 of qualifying expenditure will now benefit from the 25% R&D tax credit on a volume basis, with no requirement to refer to the 2003 base year spend. This is an increase of €100,000. For R&D expenditure in excess of €200,000 the relief continues to be based on incremental costs in excess of the 2003 spend. A full review of the R&D Tax Credit regime will be carried out in 2013.
Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme
This scheme (formerly the BES scheme) will continue to run until the year 2020. While uptake to date has been slow, there is expected to be additional interest in 2013 and future years.
Carried Interest
Carried interest is the return received by venture capital managers for managing investments in certain venture capital funds. Under relieving provisions introduced in 2008, these returns are treated as a capital gain rather than income and are taxed at a lower rate of 15% for individuals holding interest through a partnership or 12.5% for corporates. The relief is to be reviewed to ensure that it operates as intended, in particular to assist small businesses in accessing funding.
Aviation sector
An accelerated capital allowances scheme, over seven years, will be introduced for aviation specific facilities. This will be in place for a five year period and will serve to further bolster Ireland's status as a leading player in the aviation sector.
Taxation of Micro Enterprises: Reduction in Compliance Costs
There is to be a joint consultation between Revenue and the Department of Finance to identify measures to ease the administrative burden of tax compliance costs for Micro Enterprises. Micro Enterprises are businesses with a turnover of less than €75,000 per annum. rebate of statutory
FATCA Agreement with US
Ireland has reached agreement with the US in respect of compliance with FATCA, (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) which broadly seeks to facilitate the reporting of Irish accounts held by US persons, and the reciprocal exchange of information regarding US financial accounts held by Irish residents. This will be of particular interest to the financial services community.
Pension Contributions for Company Directors
Relief for pension contributions is continues at the marginal rate of tax. There was speculation that relief would be restricted to a lower rate of tax however this idea has been dismissed.
However with effect from 1 January 2014, tax relief for pension contributions will be capped in respect of pension schemes that deliver an annual pension in excess of €60,000 per annum.
Company Directors who have made Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVC's) will be allowed a once-off option to withdraw up to 30% of the value of funded Additional Voluntary Contributions made to supplement retirement benefits. Withdrawals will be liable to tax at the individual's marginal rate. This option will be available for 3 years from the passing of the Finance Act 2013.

I'm such a crank this time of year. The craziness of too many people at the stores, the people who forgot how to drive when it snows, or even "dusts" a few flakes, the wrapping like theirs no tomorrow, then the opening like theirs no tomorrow..... if it weren't for my girls, I'd be done with all of it. I just feel like I don't have time to breathe, let alone do anything else. It makes me nuts. And then the fighting with random family members about how I don't want 15 Christmas's.....I want my girls to have one. Santa comes one time a year....not every day of December. Grrr. Enough ranting....well, maybe......
As 2009 comes to an end...
1) Where did you begin 2009?
At Camp. We missed the ball drop yet again. We started the night at Marge and Louis' house.....for some foolish reason we left to go back to camp (apparently at 11:50ish) to fire up the generator to power the TV so we could see it and shout our "Happy New Year" and then go to bed.

5) Did you have to go to the hospital?
Yes and Sort of. Ashtyn needed to see the Doc for an "issue" with bubble bath soap and her pedi was on vacation, so I took her to Urgent Care (its really slow as death care in my book) and Shriners Hospital is a "hospital" and we went there 6 times I think. Oh yeah....I got to go to the ER because I'm a moron and put my hand through the door. Yippee that was fun. I ended up gashing my other hand a few weeks ago too (because I'm great like that...who cuts their hand open on a can of peas????....I do) I needed stitches for that one too but I said to hell with it....bandaids and medical tape.
6) Did you have any encounters with the police?
Yes. Only one time this year. Again, those stupid jerks from BF tried to break in to my neighbors house. I caught them in the act and called my ever so useless PD...big shocker, they didn't find them. I love paying taxes for stupidity.
7) Where did you go on vacation?
Orleans, Vermont.....to our camp

Kubota L3400, backhoe and brush hog

New Hampshire....still
17) Describe your birthday?
My birthday was "forgotten" by my awesome hubby. All his friends remembered though. That was a bad day :(
18) What's one thing you thought you'd never do but did in 2009?
3 things: Host a fundraiser. Enroll Ashtyn in preschool. Put my house up for sale.
19) What has been your favorite moment?
When Ryan's court stuff was over and heard he wasn't going to jail. When I heard Shriners Hospital wasn't closing Springfield.
20) What's something you learned about yourself?
I'm still a very negative person.......and I can inspire people to help do great things.
21) What was your best month?
I think they were all kind of equal. Everyone had their ups and downs.
22) What music will you remember 2009 by?
23) Who has been your best drinking buddy?
Ashtyn and Taylor.....we get to be sober together...yippee
24) Made new friends?

Finally! The holidays (and year) are almost over.
I'm such a crank this time of year.

Ashtyn's Preschool's Winter Concert
I apologize for the random shakiness and occasional blurriness.....It was almost as much a challenge for me to video the performance as it was for the little ones to get on stage in front of 500 people to sing.
Ashtyn was not very impressed by being on the very end of the stage. Jeremy and I thought for sure she was going to fall off at any given moment....she even tried to weasel in a few places away from the end.....but her classmate wasn't allowing any of that.

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Today was Get-ready-for-Christmas day at our house. Ashtyn went to the salon this morning with Grammy and Grampa to get her hair and nails done....something Mommy would never ever do......and then Jeremy and I took the girls to get our Christmas tree at Bishop's Farm in Springfield, VT, which is where we've been going since Ashtyn's first Christmas. After that we went to visit with the Claus's. Ashtyn obviously loved the visit but Taylor had other thoughts about it. Santa and the Mrs. thought maybe it was a little too chaotic at their visiting venue, so they made a special surprise visit to our house after their other visit was over......Taylor still wasn't happy.....
...but we did finally get her to come out to the kitchen for a minute...
and Miss Ashtyn got to tell Santa 8,000 more things she wanted for Christmas and even show off dancing for him and Mrs Claus.....
....but she still doesn't want her picture taken.
And now its time for music and tree trimming.

ReBuilt is back!
A few months ago I found this awesome show on FitTV about people with prosthetics, the people who made their prosthetics. It was really neat to see how they were made and the many different kinds available and what the different ones do or activities they make easier etc. Its called 'ReBuilt:The Human Bodyshop'. Two weeks after my discovery, the show just disappeared with no explanation. It is now back on and I did some checking online about its disappearance and found out it was a short lived series. The first episode aired January 18, 2006 and the 12th (and last) episode aired April 5, 2006. That said, FitTV is showing the series again...here are the dates and times I have found: Dec 7 at 2pm and 3pm, Dec 11 at 9pm, 10pm, Dec 12 at midnight and 1am, Dec 14 at 2pm and 3pm and Dec 18 at 9pm and 10pm. FitTV's site would only give the listings up to the 20th so I don't know any other dates and times yet but if you have the channel, I'd recommend cheking it out.....the few episodes I've managed to catch were really awesome.

Smarty baby
I finally caught it on video...... she's so funny, she "kisses" her smilie to lube it up like I do when her nubbie isn't cooperating.... a little spit solves almost every problem :) I don't really know what the deal is with her nubbie randomly swelling....Monday I couldn't get her prosthetic on without removing the spacer sleeve and putting a nylon on her arm, then on Tuesday I had to put the spacer sleeve back in it and use the suspension sleeve to keep her prosthetic from falling off...... little weirdo.

My house is officially up for sale.....
I'm not quite sure from one minute to the next how to feel about it. The Century 21 sign went up last Thursday and I was not happy to say the least. I didn't cry, like I did when the realtor left after the paperwork the previous Friday. But it made me sad and mad and depressed. Then on Saturday, Jeremy, the kids and I were up in Orleans hanging out and we went to see a house... I fell in love with it and wanted nothing more than to run back here, pack my things and be done with New Hampshire. Then today I got a call from my realtor who informed me she is showing my house TOMORROW!!!!! and I want to cry again. I'm excited to get the ball rolling on this house we looked at, but I really love this house. And I don't want anyone to let it get run back into the ground again. I, along with Jeremy and the rest of our family, have killed ourselves trying to get this house back to what it used to be....and no, I'm no where near done.... it's 100 years old, which is code for "it'll never be done"...... this house is old, big and awesome. But being able to walk outside your house during the day and pee in your yard with no one seeing you.........that's the kind of place I want to live. Not because I have a secret love of peeing outside... I just want to be that secluded. I just wish I could move the house up North with us.

Taxing Prosthetics?
***I am seriously hoping this is untrue. If anyone finds info to debunk this, please send it my way***
Click here for~~~Original Post
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann 11.7.2009 Published on TheHill.com November 6, 2009
As the suicidal Democratic congressmen proceed to rubber-stamp the Obama healthcare reform despite the drubbing their party took in the '09 elections, the president trotted out the endorsements of the AMA and the AARP to stimulate support. But these — and the other endorsements — his package has received are all bought and paid for.
Here are the deals:
* The American Medical Association (AMA) was facing a 21 percent cut in physicians' reimbursements under the current law. Obama promised to kill the cut if they backed his bill. The cuts are the fruit of a law requiring annual 5-6 percent reductions in doctor reimbursements for treating Medicare patients. Bravely, each year Congress has rolled the cuts over, suspending them but not repealing them. So each year, the accumulated cuts threaten doctors. By now, they have risen to 21 percent. With this blackmail leverage, Obama compelled the AMA to support his bill…or else!
* The AARP got a financial windfall in return for its support of the healthcare bill. Over the past decade, the AARP has morphed from an advocacy group to an insurance company (through its subsidiary company). It is one of the main suppliers of Medi-gap insurance, a high-cost, privately purchased coverage that picks up where Medicare leaves off. But President Bush-43 passed the Medicare Advantage program, which offered a subsidized, lower-cost alternative to Medi-gap. Under Medicare Advantage, the elderly get all the extra coverage they need plus coordinated, well-managed care, usually by the same physician. So more than 10 million seniors went with Medicare Advantage, cutting into AARP Medi-gap revenues.
* The drug industry backed ObamaCare and, in return, got a 10-year limit of $80 billion on cuts in prescription drug costs. (A drop in the bucket of their almost $3 trillion projected cost over the next decade.) They also got administration assurances that it will continue to bar lower-cost Canadian drugs from coming into the U.S. All it had to do was put its formidable advertising budget at the disposal of the administration.
* Insurance companies got access to 40 million potential new customers. But when the Senate Finance Committee lowered the fine that would be imposed on those who don't buy insurance from $3,500 to $1,500, the insurance companies jumped ship and now oppose the bill, albeit for the worst of motives.
The only industry that refused to knuckle under was the medical device makers. They stood for principle and wouldn't go along with Obama's blackmail. So the Senate Finance Committee retaliated by imposing a tax on medical devices such as automated wheelchairs, pacemakers, arterial stents, prosthetic limbs, artificial knees and hips and other necessary accoutrements of healthcare.
So these endorsements are not freely given, but bought and paid for by an administration that is intent on passing its program at any cost.

Quick bit
This is just a really cute picture.... I never manage to get any photos of Jeremy on here...so here's a cute one...can't tell Taylor's his daughter
Today I went to Shriners Hospital for their Thank You brunch for people who helped during their "dark days of summer". It was really nice that they did that for everyone. Normally it seems when you help someone they turn around and ask for more when your done.... not SHC. They do everything in their power to let you know just how much anything and everything you do to help is very much appreciated. I had to hold back the tears (yes I'm a sally)during some of the speaches.... I just can't imagine what we'd do without SHC. They've done so much for Taylor and for our family I can never thank them enough.
This was my mission of sorts for the last few months. I was so shocked and happy we collected almost 10 gallons of tabs from June 1-August 1, I was doing everything I could to fill up this tote with tabs by the end of 2009....well we did it....in 3 months! There was about 21-22 gallons of tabs in the bucket and bags....can't really tell by my awful picture but...I know they're there.....and whoever has to pick them up out of the mail room tomorrow will know it too :) ~~Sorry LOSNA, next time I'll make sure they're in a box or something. ....And THANK YOU to everyone who helped with "Tabs for Taylor" and for filling this enormous tote!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Finally some good news
No jail time in Alton road death: Judge relents to wishes of victim's family
By Gail Ober
Thursday, November 5, 2009
LACONIA — The Alton man who killed one of his passengers in a drunken driving crash in September 2008 will not serve any time behind bars, despite his guilty plea, a Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday afternoon.
Ryan Sell, 27, of 33 School St., wept as he apologized to the family of Robert H. Richey of Florida who died when the sport utility vehicle he was driving missed a poorly marked corner and ran into a culvert on Avery Hill Road.
"To sentence Ryan to jail will cause more grief and tragedy," said Megan Quinn who spoke for the entire Richey family, many of whom were in court for the sentencing hearing in Belknap County Superior Court.
"We, the family deserve, to have something positive come from this. We need something positive," she said as she pleaded with Judge Kathleen McGuire to allow Sell to continue with community service, but not to put him in jail. "We can't bear to see another life lost to the shuffle of the system."
Belknap County Attorney James Carroll had asked for Sell to serve 12 months for the vehicular homicide and had agreed to suspend a two- to four-year prison sentence for aggravated driving while intoxicated.
Sell's attorney, Mark Sisti, told McGuire Sell takes complete responsibility for what he had done and has "from the day it happened."
"I don't think taking a chance on Ryan Sell is taking a chance," continued Sisti, who said Sell does not have a drinking problem and has never used drugs or gotten even a traffic ticket.
After silently reviewing her notes for a few minutes, McGuire told those in the courtroom she could not remember a time in her 20 years on the bench when she did not impose prison on someone convicted of negligent homicide — until this time — a statement that brought tears and hugs from both Sell's friends and family as well as Richey's.
McGuire said she was "most persuaded" by Sell's intent that night, which was clearly not to drive.
According to testimony, Sell had gotten a ride to one area club with his mother-in-law and had walked to a neighboring club to meet his wife. His intent was to walk home.
Instead, Sell's uncle, Brian Eagles of Alton, asked Sell to drive him and three of his friends home, one of whom was Richey.
"His judgment was impaired but when he drank, he did not intend to drive," said McGuire who also agreed to let both sides stipulate that Sell did not drink between the time he left the club and the accident.
McGuire said she also considered the rainy, foggy evening, testimony stating the sign at the intersection was misleading and that Sell was familiar with neither the road nor the car.
"The wishes of both families is also critical," she continued. "And, by all accounts, he has been a positive hard-working member of the community."
McGuire sentenced Sell to 12 months in jail, but suspended that portion of the sentence on condition of good behavior. She also sentenced him to two to four years on the aggravated drunken driving, all suspended. He will be on probation for two years and will have to undergo an alcohol evaluation at his own expense. Sell must further perform 200 hours of community service.
The Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Sell's license for four years. However, he can reapply for it in two years.
When asked if he was satisfied with the sentencing, Carroll said the judge imparts the sentence and he respects the sentence.
"There was no way I wasn't going to ask (for jail time) because I think deterrence is important," Carroll said. "It's my job, and I will continue to do it."

Shrine On Springfield Blog
I've started....or at least am in the process of starting.... a blog for Shrine On Springfield, which if you don't already know is our fundraiser for Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield Mass. There isn't a whole lot there yet but I figured I'd get that set up on its own so people looking for that are there and people looking for me and my little munchkins can find us here. There still will be stuff posted of C&M that's on SOS but it will be less than there was this past summer.

Don't Use Planet Aid Yellow Boxes
I donated a bunch of clothing and shoes to the Mason's Clothe the Children project, baby blankets and newborn outfits to Valley Regional Hospital (where both my girls and I were born) and food to our local food shelf this week (I'm in super un-clutter mode...and want to give back at the same time). During my struggle with my closet and shelves, I attempted to rally up some more donations from others. When I met up with a girl in Claremont to pick up her contribution for the clothes drive she told me she was glad I found a legitamit charity because she had dropped off a bunch of clothes to the Planet Aid box and was told that the clothes deposited in them where just shreded. She was the second person to tell me something "not right" about the Yellow Boxes. Another person told me the Planet Aid people were selling them to fatten their own wallets. I was pretty annoyed by this idea since last month I brought 6 contractor bags full of coats, backpacks, shoes, clothes, whatever and deposited it into a Yellow Box. So I decided to check it out when I got home.... it isn't good. The short of it is.....don't bring anything to the Planet Aid yellow boxes. Look for a legitimate charity locally.... there are many!

Waaaaaay too much again
I received an email a couple weeks ago from Ashtyn's school about the Mason's doing a "Clothes for Children" clothing drive for local less fortunate children. Well, they are in for some overloading. I went through the clothes up in my attic...and filled up 2 totes of clothes to give. Then proceeded through what was piling up all over the kids' room and filled another tote of donatables. Then it was on to the basement and closet....hmmm.... I think I need a bulldozer.
My bed is somewhere underneath this mountain of clothing. I just wish they wanted clothing of all sizes not just newborn to 9-10 year old.
I just emailed the Mason (Ashtyn's teacher's father) about how much I have for them and am awaiting an oh-my-god type response. I have 6 totes full right now and I haven't found my bed yet (which I need to do before Jeremy gets home from working up in Newport on Wednesday) and I have a huge bag full of newborn footed onsie outfits, blankets and newborn hats for the hospital..... oh man. And I still have sooooooo much stuff left to go through... and in all honesty I'm totally keeping stuff I can't part with yet....first Christmas dresses and the like..... but I'm trying to be better. Its awesome that my kids are provided for so well, but I feel bad that we are so fortunate and completely spoiled. Its so hard for me to not be a pack rat....its in my blood. My mom and aunt Kathy have perfected it. They have more stuff in their houses than you'd find in 50 "normal" houses..... but they display everything perfectly and beautifully and its always dusted and spotless... and then theres my house...... more clothing than you'd find in the mall, more furniture than the biggest antique store on the planet.....enough toys, ride ons, bouncy seats and what have you for 5 kids (in all fairness its because I have at least 5 kids at my house almost all the time) and my house is itty bitty. At least too itty bitty for me....a normal person would be fine but me and my brood...not so much. Anyway the point of my rambling..... I set out to thin out and thanks to the Mason's having this clothing drive, I finally am allowing myself to thin out a bit.

For internal services, you can use internal Certificate Authority (Internal CA).Nutanix uses SSL to secure communication with a cluster and web console allows you to install SSL certificates.
Nutanix provides simplest way to configure SSL signed certificate to encrypt communication between console and server. You need Microsoft CA and openssl. Openssl can be downloaded from here. Installation of Microsoft CA is explained here. As with any step Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is first step.In order to create csr, you need openssl.cfg file. Following is the file I created. I used similar file for VMware Certificates.
[ req ] default_bits = 2048 default_keyfile = rui.pem distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name encrypt_key = no prompt = no string_mask = nombstr req_extensions = v3_req [ v3_req ] basicConstraints = CA:FALSE keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth, clientAuth subjectAltName = DNS:sssnut, IP:192.168.1.190, DNS:sssnut.shsee.com, DNS:NTNX-f8b67341-A-CVM, IP:192.168.1.170, DNS:NTNX-f8b67341-A-CVM.shsee.com [ req_distinguished_name ] countryName = AE stateOrProvinceName = AbuDhabi localityName = ME12 0.organizationName = SHSEE organizationalUnitName = Nutanix Services commonName = sssnut.shsee.com
Pay special attention to line 14. Do note country codes are two letters only. I was using UAE, but was getting error while creating csr. For UAE, it is AE. Line 2 is the key length. Various key lengths supported by default. Do ensure CA you are configuring has at least 2048 key length. In cfg file I have edited only line 14, 17-22 only. Everything else remains default. After you have downloaded openssl from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html, extract as it to C:\ as shown. Take a backup of openssl.cfg.
You can refer my previous post of openssl.cfg file here
Run following command to create csr request. Do note rui.pem file is private key which is unique per request.

Upload CSR to Microsoft CA as shown below. Review Slide Share for detail steps
This is all needed.
Finally wish to Thank Marc for promoting my previous post. Believe me or not, post hit highest count so far. Power of social media
