Area cities are moving forward with plans to take over sewage billing since Tennessee American Water has opted to stop offering the service on Oct. 31 after providing it for 60 years.
About 60,000 sewer customers in Chattanooga; East Ridge; Red Bank; Lookout Mountain, Tenn.; and Rossville can expect their sewage bills to increase -- though it's not yet clear by how much.
A handful of potential vendors responded to a request for proposals to handle the sewage billing for Chattanooga, Rossville and the other cities, which belong to the Hamilton County Water and Wastewater Treatment Authority.
"We're working together to select a vendor," said Jerry Stewart, Chattanooga's director of waste services. "We're in the final stages of making a selection."
Tennessee American Water had been charging 40.5 cents per month per customer for sewage billing since 1992 before deciding last June to get out of the third-party billing business.
"We were doing it for [less than] what the true cost was," Government Affairs Manager Kino Becton said. "We weren't making any money out of it."
Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield has said that customers' monthly sewage bill could increase by $3 once the switch takes place.
The logic behind having a water company do sewage billing is that there's a fairly direct correlation between how much water a customer uses and how much goes down the drain.
For public health reasons, it's not legal to shut off someone's sewer service when they don't pay a bill. Instead, sewage agencies have the option of shutting off a debtor's water.
Area sewage agency officials were concerned that decoupling the water and sewage bills would remove this enforcement ability.
"We met those concerns," Becton said. "We actually went back to the table after hearing those concerns."
Additionally, in its most recent session, the Georgia Legislature passed a law that gives a private water supplier five days to suspend water supply to customers that haven't paid their sewage bill.
The Rossville City Council was going to sign an interlocal agreement at its meeting Monday night to participate in the sewer billing agreement. The Chattanooga City Council was scheduled to sign the interlocal agreement today.
"We're going to piggyback on whatever they [Chattanooga] do," Rossville Mayor Teddy Harris said Monday afternoon.
Tennessee American Water is a division of the American Water Works Co. Inc., a private company that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. American Water Works had revenue of $2.7 billion in 2010 and has 15 million customers in 30 states and Canada.

Kyle Carpenter to Receive Medal of Honor By Harold Hutchison
During the War on Terror, American servicemen have covered grenades with their own bodies to protect their comrades. Three of them, Army Private First Class Ross McGinnis, Master-At-Arms Second Class Michael A. Monsoor, and Marine Corporal Jason Dunham, who made the ultimate sacrifice, received the Medal of Honor posthumously. A fourth American serviceman, Marine Sergeant Rafael Peralta, controversially received the Navy Cross for covering a grenade in Iraq – with the possibility that he, too, could receive the Medal of Honor.

Order Non-ChiCom Fishing Vessels Out of South China Sea By Harold Hutchison
While the world's attention has been focused on the crisis in the Ukraine, the ChiComs have not been idle. Chinese Communist forces have been pushing out fishing vessels from other countries.
According to a report by TheDiplomat.com, the ChiComs began enforcing maritime regulations set forth in November out of Sansha city, a military base set up in the Paracel Islands. The ChiComs have been more aggressive in the South China Sea over recent years as the Unted States has made major defense cuts.

There's a vendor at our farmer's market who sells the most delectable middle eastern food -- and his personality is as distinctive as the goods he sells. Every weekend, you can hear him from over a dozen stalls: "get your baba ghanoosh!" or ""dee-licious Kalamata olives!". When you see him, you have to make sure you've brought your appetite because he insists that anyone passing by try gigantic samples of his delicacies. Before you can say "I already ate", he'll tear off a big hunk of whole wheat pita and personally prepare for you an unbelievable combination tasting from amongst his 20 different dips, yogurts, sun dried tomatoes, olives and hummuses.
Sometimes I wonder how this charmer makes any money given the amount of food he gives away, but when you see how many people walk away from his stand with their bags full of his specialties, his talent as a salesman is apparent. Every time I have my mind set on buying just one thing from him, I end up with at least 4 or 5 additional items in my cart -- he's that persuasive. I've even seen kids (my own included) who might not ever think of trying a certain food, quickly fall under his spell. Yes, this is the man who first persuaded Kenya to try manchego cheese. Now, if I don't have a hunk of manchego in our fridge at all times, I have a very unhappy little guy on my hands.
This all brings me to today's recipe. I had never thought of putting avocado in hummus. A few weekends ago, I was was convinced to buy some of his and Chloe ate the entire pint in one sitting. She demanded more and I obviously didn't have any so I tried making my own. It was a big hit.
Now if could just figure out how to make manchego cheese....

Love your website, and I don't even have kids at home anymore!
I love your recipes and comments. Please add me to your mailing list.
My word, you really have some fabulous recipes! Can my husband, 2 year old son and I come and live at your house?!
This is the first time I have heard about this avocado hummus. It sounds different. It looks like all of the ingredients are natural and this can be a healthy snack on any day. After reviewing all of the positive critiques this recipe received, there is not a better way to have my own opinion on it than try to make it.
My second avocado was too ripe, so I made one batch (using sunflower seed butter since it is what I had one hand, and two instead of one garlic clove since they were small cloves), took half the mixture out, and then purreed one more garlic clove and a handful of cilantro into the second half. Delicious, and more flavorful. Great recipe!
How long will this keep in the fridge? Also, could you freeze hummus? I have two ripe avocados so wanted to make a double batch, but don't want to waste any…
This will keep in the fridge for about a week. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container. I also sometimes place plastic wrap directly on the hummus, and then put the lid on the container to keep it from turning brown. If you are going to freeze it, place it in a zip top freezer bag and squeeze out all the air. Then defrost in the fridge overnight.
Saw this pin on pinterest and had the ingredients to make it on hand so I went for it. I am absolutely hooked! I made it first last wednesday and I'm already on my third batch! Great recipe!
Thanks Catherine, did not know it was made from sesame seeds. My little girl has not had any form of nuts- that I know of – so will omit it for now. Thanks for that!
This looks great, my 8mt old loves avocado – I don't, can't stand it. The only veggie I do not like! Is tahini ok for babies?
Tahini is made from sesame seeds, so you should consult your pediatrician, but if your baby has tried nuts without a problem then it should be fine!
Catherine: Interesting idea I hadn't thought of. I just made some roasted bell pepper hummus yesterday and I'll put avocado on my "to do" for the next batch I make. I also make artichoke/feta and parmesan/pea hummus. Both are wonderful. You should give those flavors a try. The amounts I add are based on flavor. I never measure. I will tell you that hydrate and boil 1-2C of chickpeas and then start with 2C of the cooked peas and about 1/2-3/4 C of tahini and go from there. Let me know if you try either of these yummy treats.
Hi, My friend is vegan… would this be ok for me to make her to eat?
Yes, this is vegan-friendly! It does not contain any animal products or byproducts.
I visited my mom a couple of weeks ago and at her local farmers market the mediteranean food guy had avocado CILANTRO hummus. my almost two year old loved it!(i did too)
i live out of town so its not available to me and i was just thinking of how i could try to recreate it. what a coincident, thank you for this recipe. im going to just add cilantro to your recipe and hope it tastes similar.
This hummus looks amazing! I have tried different flavors but never avocado. I can't wait to try it!
I am the only one in my house that likes avocado but all three kids and husband loved this hummus!
i'm totally making this today. YUMMY!!
My 12 month old LOVED this spread on a spinach wrap… Mommy loves it too. What a great twist on hummus
This was a huge hit in my house. My 3 year old said he wasn't going to eat any, but as soon as he watched me enjoying it he started to steal mine. I made him get his own bowl. He was a very satisfied boy!

Yes, it is my job to explain to them why I think HTML5 is not the ideal option to use at this time, but so far, I've managed to convince only a few, by far not everyone. And how could I? If you look at the massive support HTML5 is getting from the "big" industry players, then many see that as enough justification to go the HTML5 route. In fact, I've been told numerous times that I was hindering progress by suggesting to use HTML4.01.
Like I said, I find it's too early to use HTML5 and don't use it whenever I can, but sometimes I have to respect a client's wish unless I didn't care about paying my bills.

Comments about PT Round Bezel Halo Diamond Ring with Side Stones (1/3 ct.tw.):
I absolutely LOVE this ring. It is simple but exquisite, practical but dazzling, modern but classic--just like the one who wears it. Moreover, my boy-friend chose center diamond from Russia--owner's motherland--which makes it even more special (for the thought & love that went into the purchase). I can see myself being 95 years old still adoring this beautiful masterpiece.
Comments about PT Round Bezel Halo Diamond Ring with Side Stones (1/3 ct.tw.):
I purchased this ring to propose to my new fiancée and the product/service well exceeded my expectations. The ring produced by Brilliant Earth looked exactly as it did on their website - flawless and full of sparkle! My fiancée could not have been happier on our special proposal day and she has been showing off her new ring to everyone she sees. Moreover, she is receiving countless daily compliments from friends as well as strangers. The ring is extremely well built and affordable. A must buy in my opinion.
Service and delivery comments:
The ring I received was clearly exceptional, however; where Brilliant Earth really shines is in their customer service. I dealt with a lovely salesperson named Beth and she delivered top-notch customer service from beginning to end. Beth was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and helped me to find the perfect ring within my budget. As a Canadian customer, she also helped ease my concerns with international shipping. After the ring was delivered, we realized that the size did not fit my fiancée's hand, but Brilliant Earth was efficient and precise in having the ring sized and delivered back to me in the same condition that I received it the first time. They also insured it to make sure that nothing bad happened during shipping. To top everything off, Brilliant Earth even replaced a couple of small diamonds in the ring that, while nice, did not look absolutely perfect. We now have a flawless and stunning engagement ring and I have a VERY happy fiancée! Way to go Brilliant Earth and especially Beth!

Senate Vote Could Close Thrift Stores, Neighborhood Centers
Jul 12, 2005 — The House has slashed over half the funding for an anti-poverty fund called the Community Services Block Grant. The money funds neighborhood centers around the country. Experts say it would mean many of those centers would have to close. The Senate is expected to vote on the issue later this summer. The cuts would take effect in 2006. Gregory Warner reports from a neighborhood center and thrift store in Canton.

guestfs-faq - libguestfs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
libguestfs is a way to create, access and modify disk images. You can look inside disk images, modify the files they contain, create them from scratch, resize them, and much more. It's especially useful from scripts and programs and from the command line.
libguestfs is a C library (hence "lib-"), and a set of tools built on this library, and bindings for many common programming languages.
For more information about what libguestfs can do read the introduction on the home page (http://libguestfs.org).
Virt tools (website: http://virt-tools.org) are a whole set of virtualization management tools aimed at system administrators. Some of them come from libguestfs, some from libvirt and many others from other open source projects. So virt tools is a superset of libguestfs. However libguestfs comes with many important tools. See http://libguestfs.org for a full list.
libvirt is not a requirement for libguestfs.
libguestfs works with any disk image, including ones created in VMware, KVM, qemu, VirtualBox, Xen, and many other hypervisors, and ones which you have created from scratch.
Red Hat sponsors (ie. pays for) development of libguestfs and a huge number of other open source projects. But you can run libguestfs and the virt tools on many different Linux distros and Mac OS X. We try our best to support all Linux distros as first-class citizens. Some virt tools have been ported to Windows.
Libguestfs takes a different approach from kpartx. kpartx needs root, and mounts filesystems on the host kernel (which can be insecure - see "SECURITY" in guestfs(3)). Libguestfs isolates your host kernel from guests, is more flexible, scriptable, supports LVM, doesn't require root, is isolated from other processes, and cleans up after itself. Libguestfs is more than just file access because you can use it to create images from scratch.
vdfuse is like kpartx but for VirtualBox images. See the kpartx comparison above. You can use libguestfs on the partition files exposed by vdfuse, although it's not necessary since libguestfs can access VirtualBox images directly.
NBD (Network Block Device) is a protocol for exporting block devices over the network. qemu-nbd is an NBD server which can handle any disk format supported by qemu (eg. raw, qcow2). You can use libguestfs and qemu-nbd or nbdkit together to access block devices over the network, for example: guestfish -a nbd://remote
Mounting guest filesystems in the host is insecure and should be avoided completely for untrusted guests. Use libguestfs to provide a layer of protection against filesystem exploits. See also guestmount(1).
Libguestfs supports LVM. Libguestfs uses parted and provides most parted features through the libguestfs API.
The simplest method is:
guestfish --version
Libguestfs development happens along an unstable branch and we periodically create a stable branch which we backport stable patches to. To find out more, read "LIBGUESTFS VERSION NUMBERS" in guestfs(3).
If you are a Red Hat customer using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please contact Red Hat Support: http://redhat.com/support
There is a mailing list, mainly for development, but users are also welcome to ask questions about libguestfs and the virt tools: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
You can also talk to us on IRC channel #libguestfs
on FreeNode. We're not always around, so please stay in the channel after asking your question and someone will get back to you.
For other virt tools (not ones supplied with libguestfs) there is a general virt tools mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
Please use the following link to enter a bug in Bugzilla:
Include as much detail as you can and a way to reproduce the problem.
Include the full output of libguestfs-test-tool(1).
See also "LIBGUESTFS GOTCHAS" in guestfs(3) for some "gotchas" with using the libguestfs API.
This obscure error is in fact an SELinux failure. You have to enable the following SELinux boolean:
setsebool -P virt_use_execmem=on
For more information see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806106.
[This error message was changed in libguestfs 1.21.18 to something more explanatory.]
This error indicates that qemu failed or the host kernel could not boot. To get further information about the failure, you have to run:
If, after using this, you still don't understand the failure, contact us (see previous section).
If you see any of these errors on Debian/Ubuntu, you need to run the following command:
sudo update-guestfs-appliance
You get a permission denied error when opening a disk image, even though you are running libguestfs as root.
This is caused by libvirt, and so only happens when using the libvirt backend. When run as root, libvirt decides to run the qemu appliance as user qemu.qemu
. Unfortunately this usually means that qemu cannot open disk images, especially if those disk images are owned by root, or are present in directories which require root access.
There is a bug open against libvirt to fix this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045069
You can work around this by one of the following methods:
Switch to the direct backend:
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
Don't run libguestfs as root.
Chmod the disk image and any parent directories so that the qemu user can access them.
(Nasty) Edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
and change the user
Note: If this error happens when you are using a distro package of libguestfs (eg. from Fedora, Debian, etc) then file a bug against the distro. This is not an error which normal users should ever see if the distro package has been prepared correctly.
This error happens during the supermin boot phase of starting the appliance:
supermin: mounting new root on /root
supermin: chroot
execl: /init: Permission denied
supermin: debug: listing directory /
[...followed by a lot of debug output...]
This is a complicated bug related to supermin(1) appliances. The appliance is constructed by copying files like /bin/bash
and many libraries from the host. The file hostfiles
lists the files that should be copied from the host into the appliance. If some files don't exist on the host then they are missed out, but if these files are needed in order to (eg) run /bin/bash
then you'll see the above error.
Diagnosing the problem involves studying the libraries needed by /bin/bash
, ie:
ldd /bin/bash
comparing that with hostfiles
, with the files actually available in the host filesystem, and with the debug output printed in the error message. Once you've worked out which file is missing, install that file using your package manager and try again.
You should also check that files like /init
and /bin/bash
(in the appliance) are executable. The debug output shows file modes.
yum install '*guestf*'
For the latest builds, see: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391
The version shipped in official RHEL 5 is very old and should not be used except in conjunction with virt-v2v. Use the up-to-date libguestfs 1.20 package in EPEL 5: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
It is part of the default install. On RHEL 6 and 7 (only) you have to install libguestfs-winsupport
to get Windows guest support.
It will be part of the default install, and based on libguestfs 1.22. You will need to install libguestfs-winsupport
separately to get Windows guest support.
After installing libguestfs you need to do:
sudo update-guestfs-appliance
On Ubuntu only:
sudo chmod 0644 /boot/vmlinuz*
You may need to add yourself to the kvm
sudo usermod -a -G kvm yourlogin
Hilko Bengen has built libguestfs in squeeze backports: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=guestfs&searchon=names§ion=all&suite=squeeze-backports
Hilko Bengen supports libguestfs on Debian. Official Debian packages are available: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libguestfs
We don't have a full time Ubuntu maintainer, and the packages supplied by Canonical (which are outside our control) are sometimes broken.
Canonical decided to change the permissions on the kernel so that it's not readable except by root. This is completely stupid, but they won't change it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725). So every user should do this:
sudo chmod 0644 /boot/vmlinuz*
libguestfs in this version of Ubuntu works, but you need to update febootstrap and seabios to the latest versions.
You need febootstrap ≥ 3.14-2 from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/febootstrap
After installing or updating febootstrap, rebuild the appliance:
sudo update-guestfs-appliance
You need seabios ≥ 0.6.2-0ubuntu2.1 or ≥ 0.6.2-0ubuntu3 from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/seabios or http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/seabios
Also you need to do (see above):
sudo chmod 0644 /boot/vmlinuz*
Libguestfs was added to Gentoo in 2012-07 by Andreis Vinogradovs (libguestfs) and Maxim Koltsov (mainly hivex). Do:
emerge libguestfs
Libguestfs was added to SuSE in 2012 by Olaf Hering.
Libguestfs was added to the AUR in 2010.
Compile from source (next section).
You'll have to compile from source, and port it.
If your Linux distro has a working port of supermin (that is, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ≥ 6.3, Debian, Ubuntu and ArchLinux) then you should just be able to compile from source in the usual way. Download the latest tarball from http://libguestfs.org/download, unpack it, and start by reading the README file.
If you don't have supermin, you will need to use the "fixed appliance method". See: http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/
Patches to port supermin to more Linux distros are welcome.
Note: This issue is fixed in Fedora ≥ 19 and RHEL ≥ 6.5.
Because of the complexity of building the libguestfs appliance, the source RPMs provided cannot be rebuilt directly using rpmbuild
or mock
If you use Koji (which is open source software and may be installed locally), then the SRPMs can be rebuilt in Koji. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji
If you don't have or want to use Koji, then you have to give libguestfs access to the network so it can download the RPMs for building the appliance. You also need to set an RPM macro to tell libguestfs to use the network. Put the following line into a file called $HOME/.rpmmacros
%libguestfs_buildnet 1
If you are using mock, do:
mock -D '%libguestfs_buildnet 1' [etc]
Note for Fedora/RHEL users: This configuration is the default starting with Fedora 18 and RHEL 7. If you find any problems, please let us know or file a bug.
SVirt provides a hardened appliance using SELinux, making it very hard for a rogue disk image to "escape" from the confinement of libguestfs and damage the host (it's fair to say that even in standard libguestfs this would be hard, but sVirt provides an extra layer of protection for the host and more importantly protects virtual machines on the same host from each other).
Currently to enable sVirt you will need libvirt ≥ 0.10.2 (1.0 or later preferred), libguestfs ≥ 1.20, and the SELinux policies from recent Fedora. If you are not running Fedora 18+, you will need to make changes to your SELinux policy - contact us on the mailing list.
Once you have the requirements, do:
./configure --with-default-backend=libvirt # libguestfs >= 1.22
./configure --with-default-attach-method=libvirt # libguestfs <= 1.20
Set SELinux to Enforcing mode, and sVirt should be used automatically.
All, or almost all, features of libguestfs should work under sVirt. There is one known shortcoming: virt-rescue(1) will not use libvirt (hence sVirt), but falls back to direct launch of qemu. So you won't currently get the benefit of sVirt protection when using virt-rescue.
You can check if sVirt is being used by enabling libvirtd logging (see /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.log
), killing and restarting libvirtd, and checking the log files for "Setting SELinux context on ..." messages.
In theory sVirt should support AppArmor, but we have not tried it. It will almost certainly require patching libvirt and writing an AppArmor policy.
That's because it does a lot of things.
Libguestfs -- as it is packaged for Fedora -- satisfies the following conditions:
The Fedora package is full featured, that is, it supports every possible feature of libguestfs (every filesystem, every filesystem tool, etc.)
A common request is to split up libguestfs into separate feature areas so you could, say, install XFS support and NTFS support separately. This is not possible right now.
The download size of the libguestfs package is relatively small (ie. not ten's of megabytes as it would be if it included a complete, "statically linked" appliance).
The Fedora package automatically updates itself if there is a security update. It doesn't include a huge static blob that has to be rebuilt and users have to re-download if there is an update.
Able to be installed without needing direct network access. This is important when using closed networks, privately mirrored repositories or RHN Satellite.
The Fedora package can be tested during the build.
If you want to drop any one of those conditions, then you can package libguestfs differently and make it have fewer dependencies, fewer features or a faster start up time:
Take appliance/packagelist.in
in the source, and comment out any features you don't actually care about. For example if you never anticipate editing a Windows guest, remove all the ntfs-related packages. You can get away with fewer dependencies.
Use libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance(1) to build a compressed appliance. Bundle this with your package and set $LIBGUESTFS_PATH
to point to it. Users will have to download this large appliance, but no dependencies are needed, and supermin-helper(1) is not used.
Reconstruct and cache the appliance once during package install. The Debian packaging currently works like this, but requires network access during package install.
Don't run any tests during the build. The build will be much faster, but also less likely to work correctly.
Note that running the tests in tests/qemu
is probably a good idea, since those are sanity tests. Also you should do make quickcheck
to ensure libguestfs is basically working.
In Fedora ≥ 18 and RHEL ≥ 7, libguestfs uses libvirt to manage the appliance. Previously (and upstream) libguestfs runs qemu directly:
| libguestfs |
| direct backend | libvirt backend |
| |
v v
+-------+ +----------+
| qemu | | libvirtd |
+-------+ +----------+
| qemu |
upstream Fedora 18+
non-Fedora RHEL 7+
The libvirt backend is more sophisticated, supporting SELinux/sVirt (see above), hotplugging and more. It is, however, more complex and so less robust.
If you have permissions problems using the libvirt backend, you can switch to the direct backend by setting this environment variable:
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
before running any libguestfs program or virt tool.
This may improve the stability and performance of libguestfs on Fedora and RHEL.
Any time after installing libguestfs, run the following commands as root:
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance
libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance /usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance
ls -l /usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance
Now set the following environment variable before using libguestfs or any virt tool:
export LIBGUESTFS_PATH=/usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance
Of course you can change the path to any directory you want. You can share the appliance across machines that have the same architecture (eg. all x86-64), but note that libvirt will prevent you from sharing the appliance across NFS because of permissions problems (so either switch to the direct backend or don't use NFS).
By far the most important thing you can do is to install and properly configure Squid. Note that the default configuration that ships with Squid is rubbish, so configuring it is not optional.
A very good place to start with Squid configuration is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/MockTricks#Using_Squid_to_Speed_Up_Mock_package_downloads
Make sure Squid is running, and that the environment variables $http_proxy
and $ftp_proxy
are pointing to it.
With Squid running and correctly configured, appliance builds should be reduced to a few minutes.
Hilko Bengen suggests using "approx" which is a Debian archive proxy (http://packages.debian.org/approx). This tool is documented on Debian in the approx(8) manual page.
Note: Most of the information in this section has moved: guestfs-performance(1).
If the underlying disk is not fully allocated (eg. sparse raw or qcow2) then writes can be slow because the host operating system has to do costly disk allocations while you are writing. The solution is to use a fully allocated format instead, ie. non-sparse raw, or qcow2 with the preallocation=metadata
libguestfs caches a large-ish appliance in:
If the environment variable TMPDIR
is defined, then $TMPDIR/.guestfs-<UID>
is used instead.
It is safe to delete this directory when you are not using libguestfs.
If the input to virt-sparsify(1) is raw, then the output will be raw sparse. Make sure you are measuring the output with a tool which understands sparseness such as du -sh
. It can make a huge difference:
$ ls -lh test1.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rjones rjones 100M Aug 8 08:08 test1.img
$ du -sh test1.img
3.6M test1.img
(Compare the apparent size 100M vs the actual size 3.6M)
If all this confuses you, use a non-sparse output format by specifying the --convert option, eg:
virt-sparsify --convert qcow2 disk.raw disk.qcow2
Resizing a disk image is very tricky -- especially making sure that you don't lose data or break the bootloader. The current method effectively creates a new disk image and copies the data plus bootloader from the old one. If something goes wrong, you can always go back to the original.
If we were to make virt-resize work in-place then there would have to be limitations: for example, you wouldn't be allowed to move existing partitions (because moving data across the same disk is most likely to corrupt data in the event of a power failure or crash), and LVM would be very difficult to support (because of the almost arbitrary mapping between LV content and underlying disk blocks).
Another method we have considered is to place a snapshot over the original disk image, so that the original data is untouched and only differences are recorded in the snapshot. You can do this today using qemu-img create
+ virt-resize
, but qemu currently isn't smart enough to recognize when the same block is written back to the snapshot as already exists in the backing disk, so you will find that this doesn't save you any space or time.
In summary, this is a hard problem, and what we have now mostly works so we are reluctant to change it.
Eventually we plan to make virt-sparsify work on disk images in-place, instead of copying the disk image. However it requires several changes to both the Linux kernel and qemu which are slowly making their way upstream (thanks to the tireless efforts of Paolo Bonzini). Then we will have to modify virt-sparsify to support this. Finally there will be some integration work required to make sure all the pieces work together.
Even with this implemented there may be some limitations: For example, it requires completely different steps (and is probably harder) to sparsify a disk image that is stored on a SAN LUN, compared to one which is stored in a local raw image file, so you can expect that different storage and backing formats will become supported at different times. Some backing filesystems / formats may never support sparsification (eg. disk images stored on VFAT, old-style non-thin LVs).
Opening remote libvirt guests is not supported at this time. For example this won't work:
guestfish -c qemu://remote/system -d Guest
To open remote disks you have to export them somehow, then connect to the export. For example if you decided to use NBD:
remote$ qemu-nbd -t -p 10809 guest.img
local$ guestfish -a nbd://remote:10809 -i
Other possibilities include ssh (if qemu is recent enough), NFS or iSCSI. See "REMOTE STORAGE" in guestfs(3).
You have a disk image located inside another system that requires access via a library / HTTP / REST / proprietary API, or is compressed or archived in some way. (One example would be remote access to OpenStack glance images without actually downloading them.)
We have a sister project called nbdkit (https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit). This project lets you turn any disk source into an NBD server. Libguestfs can access NBD servers directly, eg:
guestfish -a nbd://remote
nbdkit is liberally licensed, so you can link it to or include it in proprietary libraries and code. It also has a simple, stable plugin API so you can easily write plugins against the API which will continue to work in future.
Qemu (and hence libguestfs) only supports certain VMDK disk images. Others won't work, giving this or similar errors.
Ideally someone would fix qemu to support the latest VMDK features, but in the meantime you have three options:
If the guest is hosted on a live, reachable ESX server, then locate and download the disk image called somename-flat.vmdk
. Despite the name, this is a raw disk image, and can be opened by anything.
If you have a recent enough version of qemu and libguestfs, then you may be able to access this disk image remotely using either HTTPS or ssh. See "REMOTE STORAGE" in guestfs(3).
Use VMware's proprietary vdiskmanager tool to convert the image to raw format.
Use nbdkit with the proprietary VDDK plugin to live export the disk image as an NBD source. This should allow you to read and write the VMDK file.
The UFS filesystem format has many variants, and these are not self-identifying. The Linux kernel has to be told which variant of UFS it has to use, which libguestfs cannot know.
You have to pass the right ufstype
mount option when mounting these filesystems.
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt
Windows ReFS is Microsoft's ZFS/Btrfs copy. This filesystem has not yet been reverse engineered and implemented in the Linux kernel, and therefore libguestfs doesn't support it. At the moment it seems to be very rare "in the wild".
Typical symptoms of this problem:
You get an error when you create a file where the filename contains non-ASCII characters, particularly non 8-bit characters from Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, etc). The filesystem is VFAT.
When you list a directory from a VFAT filesystem, filenames appear as question marks.
This is a design flaw of the GNU/Linux system.
VFAT stores long filenames as UTF-16 characters. When opening or returning filenames, the Linux kernel has to translate these to some form of 8 bit string. UTF-8 would be the obvious choice, except for Linux users who persist in using non-UTF-8 locales (the user's locale is not known to the kernel because it's a function of libc).
Therefore you have to tell the kernel what translation you want done when you mount the filesystem. The two methods are the iocharset
parameter (which is not relevant to libguestfs) and the utf8
So to use a VFAT filesystem you must add the utf8
flag when mounting. From guestfish, use:
><fs> mount-options utf8 /dev/sda1 /
or on the guestfish command line:
guestfish [...] -m /dev/sda1:/:utf8
or from the API:
guestfs_mount_options (g, "utf8", "/dev/sda1", "/");
The kernel will then translate filenames to and from UTF-8 strings.
We considered adding this mount option transparently, but unfortunately there are several problems with doing that:
On some Linux systems, the utf8
mount option doesn't work. We don't precisely understand what systems or why, but this was reliably reported by one user.
It would prevent you from using the iocharset
parameter because it is incompatible with utf8
. It is probably not a good idea to use this parameter, but we don't want to prevent it.
The filesystem was not prepared correctly with mkisofs or genisoimage. Make sure the filesystem was created using Joliet and/or Rock Ridge extensions. libguestfs does not require any special mount options to handle the filesystem.
We recommend you start by reading the API overview: "API OVERVIEW" in guestfs(3).
Although the API overview covers the C API, it is still worth reading even if you are going to use another programming language, because the API is the same, just with simple logical changes to the names of the calls:
C guestfs_ln_sf (g, target, linkname);
Python g.ln_sf (target, linkname);
OCaml g#ln_sf target linkname;
Perl $g->ln_sf (target, linkname);
Shell (guestfish) ln-sf target linkname
PHP guestfs_ln_sf ($g, $target, $linkname);
Once you're familiar with the API overview, you should look at this list of starting points for other language bindings: "USING LIBGUESTFS WITH OTHER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES" in guestfs(3).
In general, yes. However this is not legal advice - read the license that comes with libguestfs, and if you have specific questions contact a lawyer.
In the source tree the license is in the file COPYING.LIB
(LGPLv2+ for the library and bindings) and COPYING
(GPLv2+ for the standalone programs).
Please supply all the information in this checklist, in an email sent to libguestfs
@ redhat.com
What are you trying to achieve?
What exact commands did you run?
What was the precise error / output of these commands?
Enable debugging, run the commands again, and capture the complete output. Do not edit the output.
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
Include the version of libguestfs, the operating system version, and how you installed libguestfs (eg. from source, yum install
, etc.)
If no libguestfs program seems to work at all, run the program below and paste the complete, unedited output into the email:
There are two LIBGUESTFS_*
environment variables you can set in order to get more information from libguestfs.
Set this to 1 and libguestfs will print out each command / API call in a format which is similar to guestfish commands.
Set this to 1 in order to enable massive amounts of debug messages. If you think there is some problem inside the libguestfs appliance, then you should use this option.
To set these from the shell, do this before running the program:
export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
For csh/tcsh the equivalent commands would be:
setenv LIBGUESTFS_TRACE 1
setenv LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG 1
For further information, see: "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" in guestfs(3).
You can use the same environment variables above. Alternatively use the guestfish options -x (to trace commands) or -v (to get the full debug output), or both.
For further information, see: guestfish(1).
Call "guestfs_set_trace" in guestfs(3) to enable command traces, and/or "guestfs_set_verbose" in guestfs(3) to enable debug messages.
For best results, call these functions as early as possible, just after creating the guestfs handle if you can, and definitely before calling launch.
Use the event API. For examples, see: "SETTING CALLBACKS TO HANDLE EVENTS" in guestfs(3) and the examples/debug-logging.c
program in the libguestfs sources.
Enable debugging and then read this documentation on the appliance boot process: "INTERNALS" in guestfs(3).
Enable debugging and look at the full output. If you cannot work out what is going on, file a bug report, including the complete output of libguestfs-test-tool(1).
We offer a command called guestmount(1) which lets you mount guest filesystems on the host. This is implemented as a FUSE module. Why don't we just implement the whole of libguestfs using this mechanism, instead of having the large and rather complicated API?
The reasons are twofold. Firstly, libguestfs offers API calls for doing things like creating and deleting partitions and logical volumes, which don't fit into a filesystem model very easily. Or rather, you could fit them in: for example, creating a partition could be mapped to mkdir /fs/hda1
but then you'd have to specify some method to choose the size of the partition (maybe echo 100M > /fs/hda1/.size
), and the partition type, start and end sectors etc., but once you've done that the filesystem-based API starts to look more complicated than the call-based API we currently have.
The second reason is for efficiency. FUSE itself is reasonably efficient, but it does make lots of small, independent calls into the FUSE module. In guestmount these have to be translated into messages to the libguestfs appliance which has a big overhead (in time and round trips). For example, reading a file in 64 KB chunks is inefficient because each chunk would turn into a single round trip. In the libguestfs API it is much more efficient to download an entire file or directory through one of the streaming calls like guestfs_download
or guestfs_tar_out
The problems are similar to the problems with FUSE.
GVFS is a better abstraction than POSIX/FUSE. There is an FTP backend for GVFS, which is encouraging because FTP is conceptually similar to the libguestfs API. However the GVFS FTP backend makes multiple simultaneous connections in order to keep interactivity, which we can't easily do with libguestfs.
appear to have no effect?When you add a disk read-only, libguestfs places a writable overlay on top of the underlying disk. Writes go into this overlay, and are discarded when the handle is closed (or guestfish
etc. exits).
There are two reasons for doing it this way: Firstly read-only disks aren't possible in many cases (eg. IDE simply doesn't support them, so you couldn't have an IDE-emulated read-only disk, although this is not common in real libguestfs installations).
Secondly and more importantly, even if read-only disks were possible, you wouldn't want them. Mounting any filesystem that has a journal, even mount -o ro
, causes writes to the filesystem because the journal has to be replayed and metadata updated. If the disk was truly read-only, you wouldn't be able to mount a dirty filesystem.
To make it usable, we create the overlay as a place to temporarily store these writes, and then we discard it afterwards. This ensures that the underlying disk is always untouched.
Note also that there is a regression test for this when building libguestfs (in tests/qemu
). This is one reason why it's important for packagers to run the test suite.
make all disks read-only?No! The --ro
option only affects disks added on the command line, ie. using -a
and -d
In guestfish, if you use the add
command, then disk is added read-write (unless you specify the readonly:true
flag explicitly with the command).
guestfish --ro
as a way to backup my virtual machines?Usually this is not a good idea. The question is answered in more detail in this mailing list posting: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-August/msg00024.html
See also the next question.
guestfish --ro
?This command will usually not work:
guestfish --ro -a /dev/vg/my_root_fs run : fsck /dev/sda
The reason for this is that qemu creates a snapshot over the original filesystem, but it doesn't create a strict point-in-time snapshot. Blocks of data on the underlying filesystem are read by qemu at different times as the fsck operation progresses, with host writes in between. The result is that fsck sees massive corruption (imaginary, not real!) and fails.
What you have to do is to create a point-in-time snapshot. If it's a logical volume, use an LVM2 snapshot. If the filesystem is located inside something like a btrfs/ZFS file, use a btrfs/ZFS snapshot, and then run the fsck on the snapshot. In practice you don't need to use libguestfs for this -- just run /sbin/fsck
Creating point-in-time snapshots of host devices and files is outside the scope of libguestfs, although libguestfs can operate on them once they are created.
A lot of people are confused by the two superficially similar tools we provide:
$ guestfish --ro -a guest.img
><fs> run
><fs> fsck /dev/sda1
$ virt-rescue --ro guest.img
><rescue> /sbin/fsck /dev/sda1
And the related question which then arises is why you can't type in full shell commands with all the --options in guestfish (but you can in virt-rescue(1)).
guestfish(1) is a program providing structured access to the guestfs(3) API. It happens to be a nice interactive shell too, but its primary purpose is structured access from shell scripts. Think of it more like a language binding, like Python and other bindings, but for shell. The key differentiating factor of guestfish (and the libguestfs API in general) is the ability to automate changes.
virt-rescue(1) is a free-for-all freeform way to boot the libguestfs appliance and make arbitrary changes to your VM. It's not structured, you can't automate it, but for making quick ad-hoc fixes to your guests, it can be quite useful.
But, libguestfs also has a "backdoor" into the appliance allowing you to send arbitrary shell commands. It's not as flexible as virt-rescue, because you can't interact with the shell commands, but here it is anyway:
><fs> debug sh "cmd arg1 arg2 ..."
Note that you should not rely on this. It could be removed or changed in future. If your program needs some operation, please add it to the libguestfs API instead.
guestfish -i
?These questions are all related at a fundamental level which may not be immediately obvious.
At the guestfs(3) API level, a "disk image" is just a pile of partitions and filesystems.
In contrast, when the virtual machine boots, it mounts those filesystems into a consistent hierarchy such as:
/ (/dev/sda2)
+-- /boot (/dev/sda1)
+-- /home (/dev/vg_external/Homes)
+-- /usr (/dev/vg_os/lv_usr)
+-- /var (/dev/vg_os/lv_var)
(or drive letters on Windows).
The API first of all sees the disk image at the "pile of filesystems" level. But it also has a way to inspect the disk image to see if it contains an operating system, and how the disks are mounted when the operating system boots: "INSPECTION" in guestfs(3).
Users expect some tools (like virt-cat(1)) to work with VM paths:
virt-cat fedora.img /var/log/messages
How does virt-cat know that /var
is a separate partition? The trick is that virt-cat performs inspection on the disk image, and uses that to translate the path correctly.
Some tools (including virt-cat(1), virt-edit(1), virt-ls(1)) use inspection to map VM paths. Other tools, such as virt-df(1) and virt-filesystems(1) operate entirely at the raw "big pile of filesystems" level of the libguestfs API, and don't use inspection.
guestfish(1) is in an interesting middle ground. If you use the -a and -m command line options, then you have to tell guestfish exactly how to add disk images and where to mount partitions. This is the raw API level.
If you use the -i option, libguestfs performs inspection and mounts the filesystems for you.
The error no root device found in this operating system image
is related to this. It means inspection was unable to locate an operating system within the disk image you gave it. You might see this from programs like virt-cat if you try to run them on something which is just a disk image, not a virtual machine disk image.
and internal-*
functions do?There are some functions which are used for debugging and internal purposes which are not part of the stable API.
The debug*
(or guestfs_debug*
) functions, primarily "guestfs_debug" in guestfs(3) and a handful of others, are used for debugging libguestfs. Although they are not part of the stable API and thus may change or be removed at any time, some programs may want to call these while waiting for features to be added to libguestfs.
The internal-*
(or guestfs_internal_*
) functions are purely to be used by libguestfs itself. There is no reason for programs to call them, and programs should not try to use them. Using them will often cause bad things to happen, as well as not being part of the documented stable API.
Please send patches to the libguestfs mailing list https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs. You don't have to be subscribed, but there will be a delay until your posting is manually approved.
Please don't use github pull requests - they will be ignored. The reasons are (a) we want to discuss and dissect patches on the mailing list, and (b) github pull requests turn into merge commits but we prefer to have a linear history.
Large new features that you intend to contribute should be discussed on the mailing list first (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs). This avoids disappointment and wasted work if we don't think the feature would fit into the libguestfs project.
If you want to suggest a useful feature but don't want to write the code, you can file a bug (see "GETTING HELP AND REPORTING BUGS") with "RFE: "
at the beginning of the Summary line.
About 5 people have commit access to github. Patches should be posted on the list first and ACKed. The policy for ACKing and pushing patches is outlined here:
Of course you can. Git makes it easy to fork libguestfs. Github makes it even easier. It's nice if you tell us on the mailing list about forks and the reasons for them.

WindSight Fall 2013 Conference '13 Highlights

Poll measures attitudes toward wind energy
Montreal, October 29, 2010 – Seventy-five per cent of Quebec residents would like to see the province continue developing wind energy after the year 2015 according to a survey commissioned by the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA). Furthermore, Quebecers believe that this source of green and renewable energy provides important economic benefits and they want Quebec to further develop its wind energy expertise.
The survey, conducted by the firm Léger marketing between the 12th and 14th of October, polled 1,000 Quebecers ages 18 and up. The survey indicates Quebecers' attitude toward wind energy is increasingly improving. Based on the survey, there has been a 23 per cent increase in people whose opinion of wind energy has improved compared to 2009. More importantly, 75 per cent of those polled said they would like to see Quebec continue developing wind energy, and 82 per cent of those polled believe that Quebec should develop an expertise in wind energy as it did with hydro-electricity.
«This survey sends a clear message to political decision makers—Quebecers want Quebec to continue to develop wind energy after 2015 and to position itself as a global leader in this area as it has already done with hydroelectricity , stated Robert Hornung, president of CanWEA. «CanWEA remains committed to working productively with local communities and all stakeholders in exploring wind energy's role as a contributor of both economic and environmental benefits to Quebec over the longer-term».
The survey also revealed that the majority of those polled consider wind farms to be an important source of economic benefits to the regions in which they are located. The results of this survey are being made public as more than two thousand industry representatives take part in CanWEA's 26th Annual Conference and Exhibition, the largest renewable energy event in the country which takes place in Montreal between the 1st and 3rd of November.
Poll results and details can be found at http://www.canwea.ca/windvision_quebec_e.php (in French only).
About CanWEA: CanWEA is the voice of Canada's wind energy industry, actively promoting the responsible and sustainable growth of wind energy on behalf of its more than 400 members. A national non-profit association, CanWEA serves as Canada's leading source of credible information about wind energy and its social, economic and environmental benefits. www.canwea.ca

Met gala: A-List for art
Masterstroke event brings VIPs and advocates—from rarely seen Baby Fores to Ben Chan, Vicki Belo who could connect to after-party techno sounds
By Anna Isabel C. SobrepeñaPhilippine Daily Inquirer
Jaime Zobel de Ayala had just been to Davos, but when he walked into the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, he looked fresh and energetic.
Socially selective Jorge and Stella Araneta not only made an appearance but stayed for the dinner with good friends and traveling companions Lani and Conchitina Bernardo and Bobby and Olivia Romulo.
They joined Chuching and Marge Tambunting, who were also among the early arrivals at the Met 2013 Gala Night for the opportunity to walk through the exhibit on the second floor.
It was worth Washington SyCip's efforts to negotiate the steps up to view canvases of illustrious names in Philippine art such as Fernando Amorsolo, Romeo Tabuena, Jose Joya, Pacita Abad, Nena Saguil, among key names in Philippine modern art.
While it may have been the years that measured SyCip's pace, other art enthusiasts also moved slowly, pausing to have their moment before an Onib Olmedo or a J. Elizalde Navarro.
Joanne de Asis Benitez and Jimmy Laya lingered over one or another painting or sculpture.
Paulino Que, quietly taking in the works, was among the collectors, artists and institutions that had magnanimously loaned pieces for the Met exhibit.
Elements of a fine evening
The permanent exhibition, "The Philippine Contemporary: Scaling the Past and the Possible," was a major attraction of the invitational event.
The event was organized by the Metropolitan Museum Foundation board of trustees, specifically board members Irene Martel Francisco, Doris Magsaysay Ho, Mercedes Zobel with Ricco Ocampo.
Board of trustees chair Butch Campos acknowledged the generous response of sponsors and donors of the museum before Kai served up courses accompanied by LVMH wines—Terrazas Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 and Reserva Chardonnay 2008.
The fundraising dinner was part of a collective effort by advocates of Philippine art and culture to make the Met a truly world-class museum.
Board president Tina Colayco thanked the committee members in her brief remarks after the Apple-Sampaguita Sorbet was served in Japanese tea pots.
Guests were seated at long tables draped in gray which ran the length of the ground-floor gallery.
The Jazz Quartet at the lobby and Argentine music on the accordion at the Gallery gave way to Nuevo Flamenco's contemporary sound during the plated service.
The modulation was respectful of social intercourse to allow Baby Fores and Nene Quimson decent conversation, with the guitar, bass, flute and kahon playing in the background.
Gala committee members Olivia Campos and Fe Rodriguez were seen going around greeting friends and ensuring they were well attended.
Art to touch
There were intervals between the Pan-Seared Chilean Sea Bass and the Akamiso Braised American Angus Short Ribs to soak in Emmanuel Garibay's oil-on-canvas "Masa" or Ronald Ventura's intermedia "Basic."
Artworks surrounding the dining set-up stirred another sensibility, adding to the pleasures of degustation. It was a younger set of artists on the walls but even the tablescape was a venue for new and current expressions.
Leeroy New's plastic coils build up into other-worldly forms with spore-like tendrils in luminous colors. Set as centerpieces with plants and hollow blocks, it was an art statement inviting discourse.
Yet even art philistines might have been provoked to react, especially when performers, wrapped in the same glow-in-the-dark medium, emerged to cavort on the aisles, pleading plaintively to touch them.
It was a masterstroke to invite the generation of Jesse and Patrick Maxwell to an after-party.
The young people had begun to mill in the bar area separated from the gallery by a wall.
Tim Yap and Cristalle Henares enjoined the patrons of art, who were finishing up their Red Velvet Crepe Cake, to stay for the next part of the evening which some of their children had come for.
While sponsors like Ben Chan and Vicki Belo could relate to the techno and house music that replaced the earlier sounds, others like Arturo and Tessie Luz chose to walk the red carpet out into the waiting chauffeured cars.
Departing art cognoscenti waved at each other, leaving the arriving 20- and 30-somethings to find their own space at the museum to the spins of Kat Razon.

Plymouth Christian Academy seventh-grader Caleb Godin battled through more than 36 rounds to win the Association of Christian Schools International District Spelling Bee. / Plymouth Christian Academy
A district spelling bee can be an event chock-full of drama, nail-biting tension and nervous laughter.
But it didnt seem to bother 13-year-old Plymouth Christian Academy student Caleb Godin, who battled through more than 36 rounds to win the Association of Christian Schools International District Spelling Bee with the word impetigo.
Caleb was among 16 finalists to start the afternoon competition and he continued to advance by easily knocking down words such as isosceles and beriberi, a cluster of symptoms caused primarily by a nutritional deficit in Vitamin B1 (thiamine).
Approximately 130 students from 10 district schools gathered Friday, Jan. 31, to spell their way to the top during the 12th annual ACS International Spelling Bee at Plymouth Christian Academy. One highlight of the ACSI Bee was the intensity of Room 12 the sixth-grade bee. That competition went on for a grueling 50 rounds as students blasted through the sixth-, seventh- and finally eighth-grade word lists to determine the winner.
By days end, Caleb was the district winner. Hes been in the finals before, but confidently captured the district trophy for the first time this year.
School officials said the seventh-grader showed true sportsmanship when he turned to congratulate his opponent before being awarded his trophy. Caleb will be traveling to Indiana for the regional competition next month.

Capsicum annum
The dried form of the poblano, Ancho chiles are one of the "holy trinity" (together with the mulato and pasilla) used to make many of the myriad traditional Mexican mole sauces. Mildly sweet with a plum-like flavor, it won't overpower dishes with its low Scoville rating. Traditionally pureed and used in sauces, Anchos also add interest to soups and salsas. Try them in Pumpkin Kale Enchiladas for a delictable treat. |

Over the weekend, Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder made available for download a live performance of a new song called "All The Way" that he debuted at a concert at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago in August. The song is about the Chicago Cubs, who on Saturday captured the National League Central Division title, and to whom Windy City native Vedder has pledged baseball allegiance to all his life--a lifetime in which neither he, nor anyone else under 100 years of age, has borne witness to a Chicago Cubs World Championship, seeing as how the Cubbies haven't won a World Series since (yes) 1908.
According to the notice on the group's home page, Vedder wrote the song "at the request of Ernie Banks," the Hall Of Fame infielder known far and wide as "Mr. Cub"--and who, at age 77, I guess will now also be known far and wide as the oldest Pearl Jam fan. In any event, it's a pretty good song, which you can hear here:"We are not fair weather but foul weather fans/We're like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands," sings Vedder, echoing the underdog sentiment that has always been a part of a loyal Cub fan's life. And it follows in the inspirational footsteps of last year's Wrigley Field on-field musical hit, "Go Cubs Go," written and originally recorded by the late Steve Goodman, the singer-songwriter who passed away in 1984 and was known as much for his Cub devotion as for being the composer of the classic "City Of New Orleans."
Goodman also wrote one of the great baseball-themed songs ever--"A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request":
Of course, any discussion of baseball songs always comes back to the granddaddy of them all: Jack Norworth and Alfred Von Tilzer's Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which just happens to be celebrating its own 100th anniversary this year. Are the stars aligned for the Cubs to finally break through to baseball's promised land? Time will tell, of course, but until then, here's our all-time favorite version of the seventh-inning stretch classic, performed at (where else?) historic Wrigley Field by that well-known baseball fanatic, Ozzy Osbourne:
Play ball!

Minimize Wool Contamination
Contamination in the domestic wool clip gives every U.S. sheep producer a bad image. Contamination lowers the overall yield or useful quality of the wool clip. Common sources of wool contamination: dirt, vegetable matter, paint, polypropylene twine, colored fibers, and tags.
The shearing area must be kept clean with frequent sweeping to reduce risk of contaminating freshly shorn fleeces.
Use only new and approved wool packaging materials. Used bags and packs contaminate wool and cause identification problems.
Properly label all wool packages for: grower name, line or type of wool, individual bag number, and classer number (when applicable).

DULUTH — Kerry Dortch brings his Puppet Farm to the same street corner every year, during the Duluth Fall Festival.
After a decade or two, he knows kids come back to find him, hoping to get a glimpse of his hand-made puppets, while he hopes to make a sale. And everyone, he says, has a little fun.
"What's better than a kid's smile?" Dortch said of his favorite part of the annual Duluth tradition. "Nothing that I know of."
Thousands of people poured through the streets of downtown Duluth Saturday, checking out the wares, enjoying some tasty treats, browsing through the art, dancing to the music and visiting with neighbors.
"It's a big deal," Chloe Hill said of the festival, as her daughter Haven danced on the Town Green.
Artist Kathryn Fincher, who grew up in Duluth, said the festival is the only one where she is sure to set up a booth each year, happy to take part in the hometown tradition, which raises money to beautify the city and brings together hundreds of volunteers.
"The heart and soul of Duluth is in the people, and that is what this is about," Fincher said. "It's the whole community coming together."
With a carnival for the kids and everything from used books to expensive art for the adults, the festival is expected to bring about 100,000 people to the downtown area. On Sunday, the fun continues, with a race in the morning and a community worship service on the Town Green before the rides and booths open back up.
Lance Bradley said his family is new to the area but happy to find such a great community to have fun.
"It's amazing," he said, as his 3-year-old daughter Elizabeth was treated to a crazy hairstyle by one of the vendors. "She's having a blast, and the weather is great too."

Workplace Prayer
My Heavenly father, as I enter this workplace I bring your presence with me. I speak your peace, your grace, your mercy, and your perfect order in this office. I acknowledge your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and done within these walls.
Lord, I thank you for the gifts you have blessed me with. I commit to using them responsibly in your honor. Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job. Anoint my projects, ideas, and energy so that even my smallest accomplishment may bring you glory.
Lord, when I am confused guide me. When I am burned out infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit. May the work that I do and the way I do it bring faith, joy, and a smile to all that I come in contact with today.
