One night after the players worked well past midnight on the field, the Cubs' front office threatened to do the same thing off it as it tried to complete at least one more trade before the non-waiver deadline Thursday.
A few hours before the Cubs' 6-4, 10-inning loss to the Colorado Rockies, the team acquired disgruntled pitcher Felix Doubront from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named.
But it was the active market for leadoff hitter Emilio Bonifacio, the Cubs' biggest remaining trading chip, that drew the most attention throughout the night, especially after the Cubs held him out of the lineup and, according to a source, told him to prepare for a trade.
"Just waiting for whatever [might happen]," Bonifacio said after the game, adding that he'll approach the homestand finale like any other game. "I've just got to pack like I'm going with the team tomorrow. . . . It's something that's out of my hands."
When the pending free agent arrived at the park just as media clubhouse access ended before the game, he smiled broadly as he made his way to the few teammates in the room, apparently saying goodbyes.
The San Francisco Giants, who optioned outfielder Tyler Colvin to the minors and were poised to release second baseman Dan Uggla on Wednesday night, were among a number of teams pursuing the versatile Bonifacio into the final 24 hours before the 3 p.m. deadline.
Sources said late Wednesday night that the Cubs expect to make a deal Thursday but multiple teams are still involved.
The Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals and even the division-rival Cincinnati Reds were said to have interest.
Bonifacio likes the idea of a pennant race.
"You want to be a part of that," he said, "but right now, you're still a part of the Cubs, and you've just got to keep pushing for the Cubs."
The Cubs acquired Bonifacio the first week of spring training as a minor-league free agent after the Royals released him just before camp opened.
He has about $835,000 left on his one-year contract.
In what likely was his last game as a Cub, Bonifacio had four hits in their 16-inning victory Tuesday, missing the cycle by a triple. He's hitting .279 with a .318 on-base percentage and is 14-for-35 (.400) since returning from an oblique injury July 22.
Doubront, meanwhile, is a left-hander with potentially good upside as a starter, but he turned into a headache for the Red Sox after they moved him to the bullpen last month.
He told Boston media Sunday that the team should use him as a starter or trade him. On Monday, he had his worst outing of the season, and Red Sox manager John Farrell was put in the position of defending Doubront's appearance of disinterest on the mound.
"I don't necessarily buy into the change of scenery," Farrell said after the trade. "Can it invigorate someone in a new surrounding? Possibly. But as I talked with him awhile ago . . . the work is always going to be needed, regardless of where you pitch or the role in which you're pitching."
Doubront, 26, was 2-4 with a 6.07 ERA in 17 games for the Red Sox, including 10 starts (2-4, 5.19 ERA in that role).
He won 11 games each of the two previous seasons and pitched well in two relief appearances (1-0, 1.93 ERA) against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2013 World Series.
"He has performed well for us over a period of time," Farrell said, "and the importance of his relief appearances last year in the World Series can't be understated."

My recent app spree lowered my AAoA on EQ from 10.1 to 9.9. Since 1 month doesnt really equate to 0.1 (12 months but AAoA measured in tenths of a year), would the start of November bring my AAoA back to 10.0 years? I have 30 accounts with 9.9 AAoA right now. (the underlying question is whether I should expect a score boost when my AAoA goes back over 10 years? I cant tell if I had score hit for it going below as I had high utilization report at same time due to hurricane storm damage repair.)
With that many accounts in the equation my bet would be that you would return to 10 with next months roll around. The AAoA does not appear to be dependent on the accounts reporting for the month but rather the passage of time and the age of the specific accounts. I don't believe we have ever established a proven number of years where there is a point boost for age. I believe that I have read anecdotally that more than 3 and more than 5 (or 6?) seems to provide a boost to some members. I don't recall reading anything about 10 years being a significant factor but YMMV.
In credit reporting there is often such a variety of factors in play (utilization, inquiries, new accounts aging, etc.) that it is difficult to attribute a score change to one factor. The only one I know for sure is a brand new delinquency will tank you and I'm not eager to find out by how much.
Assuming you are at exactly 9.9 years (i.e., there is no rounding going on there), one more month won't take you over. You have 297 years of total history, you'll get another 2.5 years with one month across 30 accounts, bringing you to 299.5. 299.5/30 = 9.98. If you're actually slightly above 9.9, you'll probably cross the 10 year mark.
10-25-2012 09:24 AM - edited 10-25-2012 09:27 AM
Just do the math if you want specifics...7.8 yrs for example would be 7 years plus X months. 0.8 = X months / 12 months = 9.6 months. So, 7 years 9 months.
BTW, cross-reference your EQ report from Equifax.com with your myFICO report from time to time. A couple of times I found that Equifax.com's AAoA to be inaccurate.
ETA....YMMV on the score change. On November 1 your AAoA will hit 10 years (as seen by FICO). You might see an increase due to the aging of your new TL(s), but I don't think your AAoA alone will improve your score because you have new accounts reporting.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

More Information
In 2009, Toronto's eight publicly funded universities and colleges of applied arts and technology collectively enrolled 200,000 full-time students.
In a knowledge-based economy such as Toronto's, learning goes beyond graduation. Torontonians are constantly upgrading their skills and number among the tens of thousands of part-time and continuing education students who enroll in these institutions each year.
Like all Canadians, Torontonians deeply value education and the development of a skilled, knowledgeable and highly competitive talent pool. The quality and variety of Toronto's post-secondary institutions mean that local students don't have far to travel to experience academic excellence. This also means that businesses in Toronto don't have far to look for well educated staff to compliment their workforce. An annual output of thousands of specialized graduates provides local businesses with easy access to the diverse skills and talent they need to be successful.
The success of Toronto's post-secondary institutions, and the government's commitment to their future, is evident in the many academic expansions currently underway throughout the City. This development is crucial as these institutions underpin economic growth and contribute to the City's success as a global business destination. Often described as "engines of innovation", universities and colleges increase rates of technological growth and productivity and, ultimately, GDP per capita.
Primarily serving the east end of Toronto, Centennial College is Ontario's first community college. It is also one of Canada's most culturally diverse post-secondary institutions with a student body representing almost 100 cultural groups. Having grown significantly in recent years, the College is expanding to accommodate its increasing needs. Visit http://www.centennialcollege.ca for more information.

George Brown College is one of Canada's most diversified colleges of applied arts and technology and offers its students a rich mix of degree, diploma, certificate and apprenticeship training programs. Due to significant growth in recent years, George Brown's third campus, situated on the City's waterfront, opened in fall 2012. Visit http://www.georgebrown.ca for more information.
Humber College is another of Toronto's larger colleges providing its students with the skills they need to succeed in today's workforce. Humber's Business School, for example, offers more areas of study and specialized choices than any other business school in Ontario. The College also has a sizeable number of part-time students and provides many opportunities for continuous learning. Visit http://www.humber.ca for more information.
One of Canada's leading art and design institutions, OCAD University is located in the heart of downtown Toronto. With its innovative approach to education, low student/faculty ratios and unique programs, OCAD continues to grow in status and popularity. Its presence in the centre of Toronto contributes significantly to the City's creative and cultural renaissance currently underway. Visit http://www.ocad.ca for more information.
Also situated in Toronto's downtown core, Ryerson is one of Canada's most culturally diverse post-secondary institutions with a student body representing almost 146 countries. Known as a leader in film, media and digital media studies, the University is growing rapidly. Its expansion includes a new athletic and recreational centre, the renewal of the School of Image Arts and a new Student Learning Centre. Visit http://www.ryerson.ca for more information.
With eleven campuses dotted throughout the Toronto region, Seneca College provides its students with numerous industry partnerships and opportunities for hands-on learning. Its finance, international business and marketing, 3D animation and electronics engineering programs have received national and international acclaim. Home to students representing 90 countries, Seneca College embodies Toronto's diverse cultural mosaic.
Seneca College's Canadian Institute for Financial Crime Analysis (CIFCA) brings together industry partners from diverse fields to address emerging issues in financial crime. A first-of-its-kind institution in Canada, CIFCA responds to the needs of the financial sector and of all Canadians who run the risk of becoming victims of financial crime.
Visit http://www.senecac.on.ca for more information.
One of the world's leading research institutions, the University of Toronto (U of T) is Canada's largest university. The Times Higher Education World University Ranking 2011-2012 names the University of Toronto as one of the top 20 universities in the world.
U of T's Rotman School of Management is yet another example of the numerous academic expansions taking place in Toronto. The School has an international reputation as one of the world's most innovative business schools and has experienced significant growth in recent years. The Rotman Expansion is part of a $120 million capital, research and education project designed to enhance the global competitiveness of Ontario and Canada.
York University is Toronto's second largest university and the third largest in Canada. Home to Osgoode Hall, Canada's top-ranked law school, and a renowned Fine Arts program, York is also undergoing a major expansion that promises to dramatically alter its direction. At the heart of this development is a $2.6 billion project connecting York Region to the City of Toronto by subway, providing local commuters with new transportation options.
Located at York University in the Schulich School of Business, is the Toronto Centre: Leadership in Financial Supervision. The Toronto Centre was established following the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Its mission is to help financial regulators from around the world improve their crisis preparedness and develop stronger, more inclusive financial systems.
The Centre is funded by the Government of Canada, York University and the World Bank. Its sponsors include the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), among others.

Welcome to the The Face & Body Place
Today, traditional face lifts of yesterday are largely a thing of the past. With today's new facial cosmetic techniques like Botox® Cosmetic, Fillers, and Laser Treatments, we can help women look years—and sometimes decades–younger without drastic surgery.
Women can now look their best more easily, affordably, and more safely than ever before.
As a woman, Dr. Finder understands that choosing the right cosmetic physician is the most important decision you need to make. In addition to considering the doctor's training and experience, there are other factors to consider as well: achieving natural looking results, the amount of downtime required, and affordable costs. Dr. Finder welcomes the opportunity to discuss all of these factors in a confidential consultation.
Be assured a consultation with Dr. Finder is never a commitment to having a procedure. It's more like sitting down with a trusted friend who can answer your questions.
So lets talk—woman to woman.

Gloria Arroyo, the former Philippine president, has called off a planned trip abroad for medical treatment as she was physically weakened by fighting off a government-imposed travel ban, her lawyer said.
The former president's decision was announced on Thursday on national television by lawyer Raul Lambino, two days after the government stopped her from boarding a flight to Singapore.
Arroyo, 64, complained she could not sleep and her blood pressure was unstable while being treated at a Manila hospital she checked into late on Tuesday after her failed travel attempt, Lambino said on GMA television.
"She told me, 'I don't think I can manage to travel," said Lambino, who added he had visited her at the hospital late on Wednesday.
After her camp initially announced that she would try to fly again on Thursday, Arroyo had instead decided to rest until her condition improved, said Lambino, who did not say when she would make another bid to leave.
Arroyo was stopped from flying to Singapore on Tuesday night after she was escorted into Manila airport in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace to support her spine that she says is weakened due to a rare bone disease.
The Philippine government insisted on Wednesday she must stay in the country to face a graft probe, defying the Supreme Court, which ruled she was free to seek medical care abroad.
US not requested
"They are very mean. They are very cruel,'' husband Jose Miguel Arroyo said of the government. "I feel sad. I feel mad. How can they refuse to follow the Supreme Court order? That is tyranny.''
Her dramatic attempt to leave came hours after the Supreme Court overturned a travel ban that President Benigno
Aquino's administration put in place last week as it prepared to charge her with vote rigging and corruption.
Arroyo ruled the country for more than nine years, and was elected to the lower house of the Philippine parliament as her term ended last year.
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was on a visit to Manila, said Arroyo has not requested to go to the United States.
Answering a question at a town hall meeting with Filipinos during her visit to Manila, Clinton said on Wednesday that if Arroyo made a request to go to the US "we would look at that''.
Clinton said any assistance to Arroyo would depend on the request she made.
Arroyo has had a close relationship with the Clintons, being a classmate of former President Bill Clinton at Georgetown University.

Why is there no "Reward for Justice" in the Benghazi Terrorist Attack?
On September 11, 2012 terrorists attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, tragically lost their lives. For the next several days, the public was misled about the circumstances of the attack. In fact, it took President Obama 9 days to call the attack an act of terrorism.
Despite repeated assurances the administration would seek justice for the attack, we still have very few answers. Recently, it has come to light that the suspected Benghazi terrorists are not included in the State Department's Rewards for Justice program. This program allows the Secretary of State to offer monetary rewards for information leading to the arrest of terrorists. Since its inception in 1984, the program has proved to be an effective counterterrorism tool. It has paid over $125 million in rewards and played a key role in the arrest of over 80 terrorists, including those responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
It is disconcerting that the Administration would not employ the successful Rewards for Justice program in this endeavor. Last week, I joined Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and 84 of my colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry asking why these terrorists are not included in the Rewards for Justice program. The full text of this letter can be found here. The four Americans who lost their lives on September 12, 2012 and their loved ones deserve justice. The State Department should use all tools at their disposal to find those terrorists and hold them accountable.

Situated in a building containing artists' studios and galleries, this venture is behind a gray door on the first floor, with a small "Come inside" sign hanging from the knob. The collection, compiled by co-owners Jacob Perkins and Matt Nelson, emphasizes small-press titles and works by up-and-comers. If you want to borrow a tome, you can sign up for a yearlong membership with either $20 or a donation of ten books. mellowpageslibrary.tumblr.com

On the second floor of an anonymous storefront on Wooster Street, you'll find a 3,600-square-foot room covered in 22 inches of loamy topsoil (ring a bell on the ground floor to enter). It's a signifier of what Soho really is, under all of the wealth and mythos of the neighborhood: a space on an island made of dirt and rocks. 212-473-8072, diaart.org
- 141 Wooster St between W Houston and Prince Sts
Birreria Roma

The cozy Italian spot Pizza Roma has an even more intimate annex: a semisecret, reservations-only beer garden. Call at your reserved time for access to a secluded Cornelia Street alleyway, which leads to the 20-seat patio. The beer menu features mostly Italian brews like Moretti and AMA Bionda. If you're feeling peckish, dine on items from the restaurant, like slices of Roman-style pizza.

This little tract of heavenly green is an unexpected retreat within the gray bustle of the Financial District. And you'd never know it was there, situated as it is behind 55 Water Street, one of the largest office buildings in the city. To access the oasis, take the stairway or one of the escalators adjacent to the building's Chase bank. There's a plank walkway and benches, à la the High Line, plus trees and bushes to give you a breath of fresh air.

There's a good chance that you could pass a few hours in this emporiumstorefront's video-game gallery and leave without ever knowing that it's also a clothing shop. Consoles like Pac-Man and Street Fighter II make it easy to while away an afternoon in the arcade, but once you find the walkway to the back of the store (hidden inside a photo booth), you can check out the adjacent menswear shop. Here, you'll find vintage brand-name streetwear and designer collaborations, from Members Only jackets to limited-edition NCAA hats. Venture even faurther back, and you'll come across an outdoor events space covered in graffiti by internationally renowned street artists.

GnomeContinuous using systemd-nspawn
One of interesting projects from Gnome Community which tries to define a new way of packaging. I really don't know how exactly OSTree works, but it generates daily builds (qcow2 images) for Gnome. The OSTree repository which helps in building qcow2 images for Gnome is called "GnomeContinuous". Similarly, there is another OSTree repository which builds qcow2 images for Fedora is called "rpm-ostree"(see ProjectAtomic)
Someone in the vast internet call this tool as "Poor Man's Virtualization". This is nothing but the good old chroot jail with modern walls (namespaces).
So, my experiment is to boot gnome-continus generated qcow2 image using systemd-nspawn to run a pure gnome OS parallelly. First thing is to download the gnome-continuous qcow2 image.
Note: all commands in this post executed under root
# wget http://build.gnome.org/continuous/buildmaster/images/z/current/gnome-continuous-x86_64-devel-debug-20140720.0.qcow2.gz # gunzip gnome-continuous-x86_64-devel-debug-20140720.0.qcow2.gz # ln -s gnome-continuous-x86_64-devel-debug-20140720.0.qcow2 gnome.qcow2
In order to open-up qcow2 images, qemu provides a tool called "qemu-nbd". this tool requires 'nbd' kernel module to be loaded. So, load nbd driver as root,
# modprobe nbd # qemu-nbd --connect /dev/nbd0 gnome.qcow2
Now, we have associated /dev/nbd0 with qcow2 image. This image contains three partitions(boot, swap and root), we have to seperate them into loop devices,
# parted /dev/nbd0 unit B print Model: Unknown (unknown) Disk /dev/nbd0: 8589934592B Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32768B 209747967B 209715200B primary ext4 boot 2 209747968B 276856831B 67108864B primary linux-swap(v1) 3 276856832B 8589934591B 8313077760B primary ext4 # losetup -o 276856832 -f /dev/nbd0 # losetup -o 32768 -f /dev/nbd0 # losetup -j /dev/nbd0 /dev/loop0: [0005]:849 (/dev/nbd0), offset 276856832 /dev/loop1: [0005]:849 (/dev/nbd0), offset 32768 #
Now we have to get the "ostree" boot parameter from /dev/loop1 (which is the boot partition in qcow2 image)
#mkdir boot #mount /dev/loop1 boot #grep 'ostree=' boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg APPEND root=LABEL=gnostree-root quiet splash ostree=/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0 #umount /dev/loop1 #rm boot
"ostree" boot parameter is importent for ostree tools to operate properly, so we have to append this boot parameter into our host machine's /boot/grub/grub.cfg so that this boot parameter will be reflected in /proc/cmdline. Open your host machine's /boot/grub/grub.cfg and append "ostree" parameter like this,
linux /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.14.0-sabayon init=/sbin/init root=UUID=80b5a49b-4156-49b3-ab4d-71d1de2dca36 resume=UUID=7550843f-1e8a-4c8e-b9a3-3c9907164726 ro rd.auto rd.lvm.vg=vg_mohanlaptop rd.vconsole.keymap=us quiet splash ostree=/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0 initrd /initramfs-dracut-x86_64-3.14.0-sabayon
Once done, reboot your host machine and re-setup /dev/loop0 and /dev/loop1 as we did in above steps.
We have to adjust root partition to stop plymouthd and modify default runlevel to "multi-user" instead of "graphical",
# mkdir root # mount /dev/loop1 root # rm root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0/etc/systemd/system/default.target # ln -s root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0/etc/systemd/system/default.target # mv root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0/usr/bin/{plymouthd,plymouthd.disabled} # umount /dev/loop1 # rm root
Now, time to setup the filesystems,
# mkdir root # mount /dev/loop0 root # mount --bind root/ root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0/sysroot/ # mkdir /dev/exported # ln /dev/loop1 /dev/exported/
Now we are ready to chroot,
# systemd-nspawn --bind /dev/exported -b -D root/ostree/boot.0/gnome-continuous/f5a97103e9911b5a19ec154ecccfc6bd77f43e90e27a64adabf054e4db06c38b/0
this will boot the qcow2 image which we downloaded and show a login prompt, get inside as root and mount the boot partition we exported from host machine which will be available inside /dev/exported/loop1,
GNOME-OSTree 0+snapshot-20140717 qemux86-64 console qemux86-64 login: root Last login: Sat Jul 19 22:38:48 SGT 2014 on console root@qemux86-64:~# mount /dev/exported/loop1 /boot
Now, we can start the gnome session by running a X in host's vt2 and point gnome-session inside chroot to connect to DISPLAY=:1
In Host Machine:
press ctrl-alt-f1 and login as root, then type this command # X :1 vt2
Above step will start another X server in vt2 (you can switch between different X servers using ctrl-alt-f[1-9]).
Inside Systemd-Nspawn type,
root@qemux86-64:~# DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session
This will start gnome session in host machine's vt2(ctrl-alt-f2) and show the latest gnome version built by OSTree which you downloaded as qcow2 image in the first step,
Also, you can verify which ostree version the current qcow2 image pointing to, open a gnome-terminal in the gnome-session started in vt2(ctrl-alt-f2) and type the below command,
root@qemux86-64:~# ostree admin status * gnome-continuous 9b441d1f14c4caea17eb2b50a778da4a08e31cbbdf1104edf2cd2cb40a4e3374.0 origin refspec: gnome-continuous:gnome-continuous/buildmaster/x86_64-devel-debug root@qemux86-64:~#
you can also update to the latest version of gnome using following command,
root@qemux86-64:~# ostree admin upgrade
To stop the gnome-session, go to the terminal where you started it and press ctrl-c. It will stop the gnome-session on vt2(ctrl-alt-f2) and give root prompt, now type following command to shutdown the systemd-nspawn machine
root@qemux86-64:~# systemctl poweroff
You will be back to host machine. Now, type following commands to peacefully disconnect everything,
# umount /dev/loop0 # umount /dev/loop0 # rm root # rm -fr /dev/exported # losetup -D # qemu-nbd --disconnect /dev/nbd0
Thats it, the qcow2 image will be properly closed.
Well, if you don't understand the steps in this post, commant here, I'll try to explain as much as possible.
Creating My Own Website with Zero Cost
First of all, I'm not at all a web developer and had very little interest to learn web technology. All started changing during my marrage time, I wanted to create a wedding invitation website just to invite my friends.
My invitation website got good response in office. my colleagues asked about how I managed to create it because I belongs to c/c++ croud and very few in my team have broad knowledge about web technologies to create a website.
I came to know about node.js when I was digging with spidermonkey and gjs. So, for me, node.js becomes obvious choice as I already know little bit about javascript through spidermonkey and gjs.
A little research about node.js exposed me to express.js(web application framework), jade.js(HTML Template engine), stylus.js(CSS Engine) and jeet.js(Grid system)
I then created my wedding invitation site. Initially, I thought I have to spend money to host my wedding invitation site, but I came to know more about Heroku from one of the talk in Ilugc. Soon, my research about PaaS environments introduced me to OpenShift from RedHat. Openshift provides free hosting and OpenShift itself is OpenSource.
So, All I have to do is, create free account in OpenShift, Install rhc gem in my laptop, push my website into openshift through git. Thats all. My wedding invitation site is accessable anywhere and I was able to impress my friends,colleagues and finally my wife.
My wedding invitation app gave me overview of how current web development works, so I decided to have my personal website which consists of blog posts and my photos gallery. Instead of using blog framework available for node.js, I decided to use my existing wordpress blog for blog posts and my existing google drive account for storing photos so that I don't need to use any database for my personal website.
I wrote two node.js modules wordpressrest.js and googlerest.js to access contents in wordpress and google dynamically.
Finally, I was able to come up with somewhat viewable personal website https://mohan43uweb-silentcrooks.rhcloud.com.
If you are viewing this Article through mohan43u.wordpress.com, checkout my personal website at https://mohan43uweb-silentcrooks.rhcloud.com and suggest me better ways to improve it.
SystemCtl Restart MyBlog
Its been 1yr 3months since I published my last post, lot of changes happened in my life. Just a quick look at my past
I got married on 06-Dec-2013 to Deepa (A facebook addict who always wants to be in touch with her friends). Atlast, there is someone who will scold me when I don't eat/sleep/bath properly. I got a nice traveller now to travell with me rest of my life. My stomach is not burning when I go to multiplexes and malls after marrage :)
Moved to Pune
Moved to beautiful Pune on Oct-2013. Nice city. But, I'm missing ilugc meetings very much. I have to start going to lug meeting in pune.
Learnt GStreamer basics and wrote a module for dhvani-tts which can use gstreamer for playing sound.
Node.js & Web
First started learning during my wedding to create a simple website just to show my invitation, now developed a personal website using node.js (more about this in next post).
Well, nice to be back to blogging after a long gap.
As you already know from by previous postfix article, Any mail going through drunkenmonk.org domain will have my gmail address as sender. Thats good. What about receiving mail from gmail?
In your mind, you are saying "Its damn easy right? configure your evolution/thunderbird to poing to gmail stupid?" right? yeah, thats right. I can configure any mail client to point to gmail and get mails. But, I want my postfix to play a roll.
Postfix is basically a smtp server, it can also act like smtp client. But, it cant work as a imap/pop3 client.
So, Here is the task, I need to get mails from gmail through pop3 and put it into my postfix so that all other clients connected with my postfix can get that mail. Here comes fetchmail.
Fetchmail is a beautiful program which will act like imap/pop3 client (just like evolution/thunderbird) and instead of saving it somewhere, fetchmail will put that mail into your local machine's mail server. So, all the mail clients connected with your local mail server will get your email from gmail.
Thats enough of theory, lets get down and install fetchmail, first install the package
$ sudo equo install fetchmail $
Now time to configure fetchmail, it uses /etc/fetchmailrc as its only configuration file. But, we need to be careful with it. Because, we are saving the username/password a plain-text, so the permission for /etc/fetchmail should be (0600) for root.
If you start configuring fetchmail by reading 'man fetchmail', you will switchoff easily. That man page is such a damn brief and will confuse you easily. But, fetchmail config is really a easy one. It will take just three lines to configure it. Here is those three lines,
set daemon 120 set syslog poll pop.gmail.com proto pop3 user "foo" pass "bar" to "stupid" ssl sslproto "TLS1"
Here, 'set daemon 120′ will make fetchmail to connect to gmail server every 2 minutes.
'set syslog' will make fetchmail to put logs into syslog.
'poll pop.gmail.com' instructs fetchmail to connect to pop.gmail.com server.
'proto pop3′ instructs fetchmail to use pop3 protocol.
'user "foo" pass "bar" to "stupid"' instructs fetchmail to use 'foo' as username and 'bar' as password to open gmail account in gmail server, fetch those mail from gmail server and put it into local machine's postfix as a mail for 'stupid' user.
'ssl' instructs fetchmail to use secure connection. 'sslproto "TLS1″' tells fetchmail to use STARTTLS for sercure connection.
Thats it for configuration stuff, now its time to restart fetchmail
$ sudo eselect rc restart fetchmail $
Now, you can see your mails are fetched from gmail and available to you through 'mailx' command.
Dovecot (with mbox)
There are different ways to save a mail in *nix systems. The old baddy is mbox which saves all your email in one single file. The new one is Maildir.
Even though mbox have difficulties, traditional commandline mail clients like 'mailx' works with 'mbox' style mail files flawlessly. Also postfix which I setup previously by default creates single mbox mail file inside /var/spool/mail/ directory for each user. So, I need a imap+pop3 server which can operate with mbox like mail files. Dovecot is the choice.
First we need to install dovecot. I'm using sabayon, the instruction is specific to sabayon/gentoo,
$ sudo equo install net-mail/dovecot
Its time to setup dovecot. Before we do, we need to create self signed certificates to use it for imaps and pop3s. Lets first create those certificates.
$ cd /etc/ssl/dovecot $ sudo mkdir oldcerts $ sudo mv * oldcerts $ sudo openssl genrsa -out server.key.password -des3 1024 Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ..........................................++++++ ..................................................++++++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: Verifying - Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: $
We have to give 'pass phrase' here, otherwise openssl command will not create key file. But, having pass phrase for key file is not good, because we need to provide this pass phrase everytime dovecot access this file. Here is the step to remove the pass phrase from rsa key file
$ sudo openssl rsa -in server.key.password -out server.key Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: writing RSA key $
Now generate certificate request with the rsa key file
$ sudo openssl req -out server.csr -new -key server.key You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:IN State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:TamilNadu Locality Name (eg, city) []:Chennai Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:DrunkenMonk Private Limited Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Pattasarayam Generating Unit Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:drunkenmonk.org Email Address []:email@example.com Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []: An optional company name []: $
We should not give password when creating certificate request. Ok, know time to create self signed certificate.
$ sudo openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -out server.crt -signkey server.key -days 365 Signature ok subject=/C=IN/ST=TamilNadu/L=Chennai/O=DrunkenMonk Private Limited/OU=Pattasarayam Generating email@example.com Getting Private key $
Now we have two files /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key and /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.crt to use it for SSL. Lets configure dovecot now, we need to modify /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf like this,
protocols = imap pop3 listen = *, ::
Configuration not ends with /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, it has different conf files for different purpose inside /etc/dovecot/conf.d/, lets modify one by one, Here is /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf
auth_mechanisms = plain login !include auth-system.conf.ext #!include auth-sql.conf.ext #!include auth-ldap.conf.ext #!include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext #!include auth-checkpassword.conf.ext #!include auth-vpopmail.conf.ext #!include auth-static.conf.ext
If you want to permit only current machine's users and don't want to use ldap or other machinisms, then make sure you comment all includes except auth-system.conf.txt.
Here is modifications inside /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf
log_path = syslog syslog_facility = mail
Here is modifications inside /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
mail_location = mbox:~/.mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
Now /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
ssl = yes ssl_cert = /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.crt ssl_key = /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key
Thats all from config stuff, lets restart dovecot.
$ sudo eselect rc restart dovecot
Now, we need to test if it is working, We need to connect with dovecot through imap port with TLS encryption
$ openssl s_client -connect localhost:143 -starttls imap
Above command will show lot of SSL stuffs, and then finally dovecot will say '. OK', we need to start communication with dovecot from there,
. OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. a login mokka somepassword * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE a OK Logged in b select inbox * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 0 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1343790396] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 320] Predicted next UID * OK [NOMODSEQ] No permanent modsequences b OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. c list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" c OK List completed.
The above session with dovecot shows that things are ok. You can now configure your Thunderbird/Evolution to use your machine for local emails. Have a nice day!!
Postfix (with smtp.gmail.com as relayhost)
Most of us forget that postfix not only acts like a mail-server, but it can act like a smtp-client (like thunderbird, evolution).
This post is all about configuring postfix to work as mail-server for my local domain (drunkenmonk.org) at the same time forward any outside domain mails to smtp.google.com with my gmail account credentials. If you are curious about drunkenmonk.org, read my previous articles about dnsmasq and virtual home network. These two articles will explain how I setup my home network.
First things first, lets install postfix (Well I'm using sabayon)
$ sudo equo install mail-mta/postfix
Postfix configuration is pretty simple and straight forward. You have to configure following parameters inside /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydomain = drunkenmonk.org myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost, localhost.$mydomain, $myhostname, $mydomain, mail.$mydomain mynetworks_style = subnet
'mydomain' tells postfix that it should serve as mail server for 'drunkenmonk.org' domain.
'myorigin' tells that postfix should append 'drunkenmonk.org' to any incoming mail's address if the address don't have domain part. Which means, when you do 'mail someuser' from commandline, postfix will append 'drunkenmonk.org' so that To address will become 'firstname.lastname@example.com'.
'inet_interfaces' tells postfix to listen on all network interfaces.
'mydestination' tells postfix that it should be the final destination for 'localhost', 'localhost.drunkenmonk.org', 'mokka.drunkenmonk.org', 'drunkenmonk.org' and 'mail.drunkenmonk.org'
'mynetworks_style' tells postfix that my local network is a 'subnet' type.
Thats all needed for postfix to get start. We can restart postfix with this configurations to send/receive mails between local users. However we want a little bit more from postfix. Lets configure it to use STARTTLS for its communication with its clients
If you wonder what is STARTTLS, its a simple method to establish communication in a secure way. Your server application (like Postfix listening on port 25) says "Hey client I have TLS support, If you want, we can communicate each other in TLS secure way within port 25 itself, If you don't want, we can continue with plain-text, what you say?", then your client (like Evolution or Thunderbird) will tell "OOh!! you offer TLS, then lets do TLS!!". So the packets going between server and client will be encrypted using TLS.
Before STARTTLS, people used different port for secure smtp which is smtps(port 465). But nowadays it is changing, the regular smtp port itself been used for both plain-text and SSL/TLS communication.
We have to configure Postfix to talk in SSL/TLS way, for that we need Self Signed SSL certificate. Lets create one,
$ cd /etc/ssl/postfix $ sudo mkdir oldcerts $ sudo mv * oldcerts $ sudo openssl genrsa -out server.key.password -des3 1024 Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus .............................++++++ ..........................++++++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: Verifying - Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: $
Here you have to give a 'pass phrase' to generate RSA private key, but having a key with 'pass phrase' is asking for trouble. You have to manually type this password everytime postfix access this key. The following command will remove 'pass phrase' from a RSA key
$ sudo openssl rsa -in server.key.password -out server.key Enter pass phrase for server.key.password: writing RSA key $
Now you have a RSA private key file server.key without 'pass phrase'. Its time to create certificate request,
$ sudo openssl req -out server.csr -new -key server.key You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:IN State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:TamilNadu Locality Name (eg, city) []:Chennai Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:DrunkenMonk Pvt Ltd Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: Pattasarayam Generating Unit Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:MokkaPandi Email Address []:email@example.com Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []: An optional company name []:
Don't give any password when creating certificate request. Finally create a self signed ssl certificate using following command,
$ sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt Signature ok subject=/C=IN/ST=TamilNadu/L=Chennai/O=DrunkenMonk Pvt Ltd/OU= Pattasarayam Generating email@example.com Getting Private key $
Ok, thats it. You will have two files, one is /etc/ssl/postfix/server.crt and another is /etc/ssl/postfix/server.key, Now configure postfix to use these two for SSL/TLS communication, Add the following lines at the end of /etc/postfix/main.cf
# TLS Support smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/postfix/server.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/postfix/server.key smtpd_tls_security_level = may
Finally, start postfix
$ sudo eselect rc restart postfix
Check if postfix can operate with STARTTLS,
$ sudo openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp
Above command will show the server certificate and all SSL stuffs. After this, whatever you send will be encrypted, now check if it can send mail,
250 DSN EHLO drunkenmonk.org 250-mokka.drunkenmonk.org 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN mail from: firstname.lastname@example.com 250 2.1.0 Ok rcpt to: firstname.lastname@example.com 250 2.1.5 Ok data 354 End data with . Subject: test mail test mail . 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as E0E352C0091 quit 221 2.0.0 Bye closed $
Now see if root got a test mail
$ sudo mail >N 8 root@drunkenmonk Tue Aug 7 16:50 14/533 test mail &p From firstname.lastname@example.com Tue Aug 7 16:50:23 2012 X-Original-To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: test mail Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 16:49:48 +0530 (IST) From: email@example.com test mail &q $
We are not done yet. There is one more part. Lets make postfix to forward mails to gmail.
Till now, postfix can send/receive mails within drunkenmonk.org domain. But if someone from your subnet want to send a mail to a person who have mail address outside drunkenmonk.org domain (let say email@example.com), then your current postfix will try to contact mail server of yahoo.com. But, yahoo's mail server will reject your mail because drunkenmonk.org is not a vaild registered domain.
But, If you have a gmail account, you can forward the mail first to smtp.gmail.com with your account credentials so that gmail will send your mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with your gmail account credentials. The person who owns email@example.com will receive a mail with from address as yours irrespective of whoever send within your local network.
To make postfix to know your credentials, we need to create a credential db with gmail account credentials, For that we need to add following line at the end of /etc/postfix/saslpass file
# run following command to generate hash password db # that can be used inside postfix's main.cf # # command: # postmap hash:saslpass # # #file content format: #remotehost username:password smtp.gmail.com foouser:barpassword
Now run the following command to create saslpass.db
$ cd /etc/postfix $ sudo postmap hash:saslpass
Now you can see saslpass.db created as a Berkeley DB file. We can now use this file inside main.cf to inform postfix about your gmail account credential. Before doing that, please remove /etc/postfix/saslpass file or change its access to 0600 for root. Because your credentials are in plaintext. We need to add following lines at the end of main.cf
# gmail smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers = high smtp_tls_verify_cert_match = hostname, nexthop, dot-nexthop relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587
Here 'hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass' actually makes postfix to access /etc/postfix/saslpass.db file. You can remove /etc/postfix/saslpass which have your gmail password as plaintext. It will not affect postfix and postfix doesn't need it.
Thats it, we are done. Once you restart postfix, It becomes capable of sending mail to outside world but with your gmail account's credentials. Thanks for reading all the way down to this line. Have a nice day!!
Virtual Home Network (with Dnsmasq , Bridge, TUN/TAP, Qemu)
As I said in my previous article, this post will explain how we can use bridge interface to configure networks inside virtual hosts and much more about virtualization.
First we need to make sure our machine is capable of kvm virtualization, see if you get any output for below command
$ grep -E 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo
Most modern processers supports Hardware assisted Virtualization. If you don't get any output for above command, It means you don't have a processor capable of providing Hardware Assisted Virtualization. Qemu-kvm will not work, but you can use Qemu without kvm or some other virtualization applications like virtualbox etc. Also skip 'LOADING KERNEL MODULES' section of this article if you don't have kvm support.
If your processor supports kvm, then we have to load following kernel modules and make sure they load automatically whenever we restart our system. In gentoo/sabayon, we need to modify 'modules=' line in /etc/conf.d/modules file as
modules="kvm-intel tun"
Here 'kvm-intel' is the kernel module for virtualization and 'tun' is the kernel module for 'TUN/TAP' devices. For, AMD machines, we need to load 'kvm-amd' instead of 'kvm-intel'. Now we need to load these modules for the current run, Here is the commands which will load 'kvm-intel' and 'tun' drivers into kernel
$ sudo modprobe kvm-intel tun $
Next is to install required packages, Here is sabayon command to install required packages
$ sudo equo install app-emulation/qemu-kvm net-misc/bridge-utilities net-dns/dnsmasq sys-apps/usermode-utilities $
'qemu-kvm' is for virtualization, 'bridge-utilities' is to get 'brctl' command, 'dnsmasq' is to handle DNS and DHCP requests from guests, 'usermode-utilities' is to get 'tunctl' command.
Its time to create interfaces, first we need to create the bridge
$ sudo brctl addbr br0
Assign IP address to the bridge,
$ sudo ifconfig br0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Next, create a tap0 interface, following command will create 'tap0′ pseudo slave interface from /dev/net/tun master interface
$ sudo tunctl -t tap0
Now, we need to hook the tap0 interface with the bridge br0
$ sudo brctl addif br0 tap0
Bring up the tap0
$ sudo ifconfig tap0 up
If you read my previous article, I have dnsmasq configured to serve DHCP requests coming from br0. Hooking tap0 into br0 will make the guest send DHCP requests via tap0->br0 and my host machine's dhsmasq process will serve ip address to the guest. We have to make sure iptables dont block BROADCAST packets as well as open the port 53 and 64 so that dnsmasq will get the DHCP and BOOTP packets. Make sure your iptables contains following lines,
$ sudo iptables -t filter -L | grep -E 'BROADCAST|domain|bootp' ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ADDRTYPE match src-type BROADCAST ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:bootps ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domainflags: FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:bootpsflags: FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN $
Now we need to make sure MASQUERADING is enabled and let your host system forward the packets. Also make these settings permanent so that reboot dont break the settings,
$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE $ sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 $ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables save $ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables reload $ sudo sed -i 's/^.*net.ipv4.ip_forward.*$/net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1/g' /etc/sysctl.conf
Check these settings are ok,
$ sudo iptables -t nat -L Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere $ sudo sysctl -a | grep ipv4.ip_forward net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 $
Finally, its time to start virtual guest, first we need to create disk image, Here is the command to create a 5GB raw disk image for qemu-kvm
$ sudo qemu-img create -f raw Debian.img 5G $
Now download debian netinstall image for amd64 architecture
$ sudo wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/mini.iso $
Atlast, start the guest with with tap0 networking
$ qemu-kvm -cpu kvm64 -drive file=Debian.img,if=virtio -cdrom mini.iso -boot order=dc -m 512 -soundhw sb16 -name "Debian" -net nic,model=virtio -net tap,ifname="tap0",script=no,downscript=no
Thats it, your qemu guest will automatically get network settings from host machine. You can also verify that dnsmasq served a DHCP request via syslog
$ sudo grep 'dnsmasq-dhcp' /var/log/messages dnsmasq-dhcp[9810]: DHCPDISCOVER(br0) 192.168.2.89 52:54:00:12:34:56 dnsmasq-dhcp[9810]: DHCPOFFER(br0) 192.168.2.89 52:54:00:12:34:56 dnsmasq-dhcp[9810]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.2.89 52:54:00:12:34:56 dnsmasq-dhcp[9810]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.2.89 52:54:00:12:34:56 virt0 $
Well, if you still reading this article and not get bored, you must be a *nix admin. Have a great day!!

SAN DIEGO - Dozens of San Diegans told 10News they lost thousands of dollars investing in an elaborate resort in Mexico.
The resort known as "The Residences" is located 30 minutes south of Tijuana. Dozens of San Diegans were recruited by American companies like Stewart Title of California, First American Fund Control and Coastal Design & Development Group, to invest in the development in 2005.
Luis and Laurentia Armenta were some of the original investors. They spent $535,000 on a condo.
"[It] was for pleasure and, at the same time, investment also," said Laurentia Armenta.
Luis Armenta said they invested all of their life savings, but now it is all gone.
The Residences was supposed to be completed by 2007, but construction stopped, and the Armentas said it hasn't been touched since. The couple hired an attorney to file a lawsuit on their behalf, and 47 others have joined that lawsuit. Together, the 49 plaintiffs invested $8 million in The Residences.
The lawsuit, filed in San Diego Superior Court one year ago, is asking for the money back and damages. The Armentas said they should have been making a profit off the condo the past few years. Instead, they said they are struggling to pay their mortgage and growing medical bills.
"I have very high stress because of this problem," said Luis Armenta.
Dolores Contreras, attorney for the developers Coastal Design & Development Group, said, "CDDG is like everyone else; they are victims of the economic crisis."
Contreras said The Residences has not been abandoned, and she added, "Funding is on the way, and we hope the project will be completed this year."
Attorney Nick Lewis, who is representing the plaintiffs, said he doesn't believe that.
"It doesn't mean anything to our clients because they don't have anything," said Lewis.
JAN. 16, 2013 UPDATE: Contreras emailed 10News several updated pictures of The Residences. Contreras said the photos show the resort at about 80 percent completion.
Contreras also issued the following statement regarding the lawsuit:
"To prove fraud, Plaintiffs must prove that my clients never intended to build this property. In looking at the pictures and the project itself, it is evident that millions of dollars have been poured into this project…Plaintiffs' money is in the project and is still an asset that they have ... Moreover, unlike many developers who have ran away from their obligations or simply filed for bankruptcy, our clients are available, have continuously stayed in touch with all buyers and are diligently working on completing this project which they hope to get back up and running this year."
Lawyers for the plaintiffs agree work has been done, but added it does not excuse the fact that their clients haven't been able to use or profit from The Residences when they were promised completion five years ago.

Living Alone and Living Well With Diabetes
Planning ahead makes good sense for anyone with diabetes, but for someone who lives alone, it takes on added importance. When you live alone, for example, you can't take for granted that someone will be with you — or even come home eventually — to help if you develop hypoglycemia or to get supplies for you if you get sick. Sticking to a meal plan can also be a challenge if you don't enjoy preparing meals for one. And getting the support you need from others may take more effort if it has to come from outside the home. Nonetheless, people with diabetes can and do manage their diabetes successfully while living alone. If you live alone, here are a few tips to help you deal with these and other challenges.
If you frequently experience hypoglycemia, talk to your doctor. Let him know that you live alone and that preventing hypoglycemia is a priority for you. If you don't use one already, your doctor may suggest switching to a rapid-acting oral medicine or insulin. The newer, rapid-acting pills and insulins carry less risk of hypoglycemia than the older, slower-acting ones. Also, the new peakless basal insulin analog, insulin glargine (brand name Lantus), may have less risk of hypoglycemia than older, long-acting insulins. Using an insulin pump can also reduce the risk of hypoglycemia as long as basal and bolus doses are calculated correctly. You might also ask your doctor if using a continuous glucose monitoring system would be helpful for you. Such devices can reveal patterns in blood glucose levels that are often missed by regular monitoring.
In general, if you feel you could use more help learning to manage your diabetes, consider making an appointment with a certified diabetes educator who can work with you on monitoring and other diabetes tasks. A diabetes educator may also be able to offer Blood Glucose Awareness Training (BGAT), which helps people with diabetes recognize and interpret symptoms associated with high and low blood glucose levels. Your doctor may be able to recommend an educator, or you can find a list of certified diabetes educators in your area at www.aadenet.org. You can also call the American Association of Diabetes Educators at (800) 832-6874.
In addition to regular blood glucose monitoring, establishing connections with other people can be an important part of maintaining personal safety. Depending on your comfort level, it can be to your advantage to let people near you know that you have diabetes, such as neighbors, friends, or local shopkeepers with whom you have regular contact. You may want to ask a few neighbors if you could call them in the event of a "diabetes emergency." If they say yes, keep their phone numbers in an accessible place, or program your phone to call them with the press of a button. Consider establishing a buddy system with a network of people who know to check in with you if you are out of contact for a specified period of time. You can give a person you trust an extra key to your house so that someone can gain entry if you are unable to open the door.
If you have special needs, or are otherwise worried about having an emergency in the home, there are many personal emergency response systems (PERS) available. These usually involve a button kept in the home that you press if you are having an emergency, which notifies a response team to come to your house. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) publishes information on choosing the right PERS, which you can access by visiting their Web site at www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers.htm. You can also call the FTC toll-free at (877) 382-4357.
Ensure that your important medical information is accessible in the event of an emergency. Carry identification that lists your name and medical condition. In addition to your ID, make up a card or sheet that lists the names of your emergency contacts and the name and telephone number of your primary-care doctor. Be sure to let people know that you have listed them as an emergency contact, and give them the name and phone number of your doctor. On the card, list your current medicines (prescription as well as nonprescription) and medical conditions. In addition to carrying this information with you, keep a copy at home, perhaps in an envelope posted on the refrigerator or near the telephone. Some people also choose to prepare an emergency "ready bag" complete with diabetes and emergency supplies in case a quick evacuation from the home is necessary.
Sick days
Because managing your diabetes requires certain supplies, and because you will probably not want to go shopping for these supplies when you are sick, it's a good idea to stock up on sick-day necessities ahead of time, when you are well.
What are these necessities? You will need all the supplies you usually use, such as pills, insulin, syringes or pump supplies, test strips, and lancets. There are also certain food products that are good to have on hand for a sick day, such as bottled water, juice, Jell-O, soup, and other healthy, shelf-stable foods that are palatable when you're sick. Other items that may be useful to have on hand include antinausea drugs such as Pepto-Bismol or the prescription drug prochlorperazine (Compazine), which comes as a suppository; antidiarrheal remedies such as Imodium A-D or the prescription medicine diphenoxylate and atropine (Lomotil); regular soda or Gatorade with sugar; ketone testing supplies, particularly for people with Type 1 diabetes; and glucagon, which is not made to be self-administered but is still recommended for people who live alone.
When you are sick, you don't want to be searching around your house for important phone numbers, so keep a list of all the phone numbers you might need in a place where you can find it easily. These phone numbers might include your doctors, neighbors, local emergency services, or your medical insurance company. If you have home-delivery grocery stores or pharmacies in your area, make a note of these phone numbers as well.
Signs indicating that you need to seek help immediately include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, moderate to high ketone levels, high blood glucose (over 300 mg/dl) that doesn't respond to treatment, sleepiness and confusion, shortness of breath, or losing more than three pounds in a 24-hour period.
Shopping and cooking for one
Buying in bulk can make economical sense when you choose foods that won't go bad quickly. Vegetables like beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, potatoes, and winter squash keep well for more than a week. Nonfat dry milk and dry buttermilk are an option for cooking, because they are shelf-stable for long periods of time. Buying bags of frozen fruits and vegetables allows you to remove the portion you want and store the rest in the freezer with no spoilage.
If you buy a larger amount of food, you also have the option of cooking several portions at one time and freezing the leftovers for a later date. This will give you a few easy stand-by meals that can be quickly reheated when you are too rushed or tired to cook. Breads, soups, and stews freeze well, for instance. Wrap individual portions in plastic wrap or bags, or put them in plastic food storage containers.
Buying individual portions may make more sense if you're buying fruits, vegetables, and other foods that don't last very long in the cupboard or refrigerator and don't freeze well. Additionally, if you don't like eating leftovers or don't have the appliances necessary for long-term freezing and quick reheating, individual portions that can be finished off in one sitting without waste may make more sense. (For a list of cookbooks for one or two, click here.)
Meals tend to be more enjoyable when eaten at a relaxed pace in a comfortable environment. If you get little pleasure from your meals alone, think about what would make them more enjoyable. Would a tablecloth help? Flowers or candles? How about putting on some music while you eat? A meal alone can be more than something to be rushed through.
Whether you exercise alone or with other people, wear visible medical identification (such as a necklace or bracelet) when you exercise in case you have an emergency that prevents you from relaying information about your diabetes or other medical conditions. If you go for walks, go jogging, or go cycling alone, leave a note on your refrigerator saying where you went and what time you left. If you plan to go camping or take some other overnight trip, tell a friend about your plans so there is someone who knows where you are and when to expect you back.
Of course, living alone doesn't mean you have to exercise alone. Many people enjoy exercise more with a partner or group, either in a class setting, on organized walks or hikes, or just informally. If you take an exercise class or work out at a gym or fitness center, you may want to tell your instructor or the gym manager that you have diabetes and that there's a possibility you will experience hypoglycemia. Let that person know how you normally handle the situation.
Getting support
Even if you're not depressed, you may feel lonely or wish you had more support from others in coping with your diabetes. How you go about it will depend on what feels comfortable to you, but it is possible to make new social contacts, deepen your relationships with people you already know, and meet others with diabetes who can sympathize with you and offer both practical and emotional support. Just because you don't live with your family doesn't mean you can't keep in touch and have a close relationship with them. Spending time communicating with your family or friends over the phone or with e-mail can take as much or as little time as you want, and it may help you feel less lonely and more supported.
Joining a diabetes support group, whether in person or online, will put you in touch with people who are facing some of the same issues that you are. Support groups can help people with diabetes adapt to the diagnosis, cope with complications, and learn to manage the disease more effectively. If you participate in an online chat or forum, for safety's sake, do not use your real name and do not reveal your phone number or address.
You may also be interested in attending a diabetes class instead of or in addition to a support group. Learning more about diabetes and developing self-management skills can make dealing with many challenges much easier. Diabetes education programs are available in many parts of the country, and Medicare and most insurance companies will cover part of the cost of attending them. To find information on support groups and education programs in your area, you can check the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Web site, www.diabetes.org (click on "Community Programs & Local Events"), or call the ADA at (800) 342-2383. Another resource is the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Online Support team, which consists of volunteers from around the country who are available to personally answer your questions and concerns about diabetes and provide support. Visit the Web site www.jdrf.org to learn more.
Living alone with diabetes may present certain challenges, but there are resources and tools at your disposal to help you live safely and healthfully.

Stripping Down a San Francisco Home
After 10 years of restoration, Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman's Victorian forgoes bold hues for a revealing white décor.
By Joshua Lyon
Mix and Match Vintage
Neutral hues unite the variety of vintage chairs surrounding the Fridmans' dining table. They found the pendant lamp at a Paris street market, and the china cabinet at a California antiques store. "Painting our dining table white really shows off the curves of its legs," says Rosy.

Mortgage Relief
In his television address at the weekend to mark the end of the bailout programme the Taoiseach Enda Kenny said banks must do more to deal with (those in) mortgage distress. But report a from Government yesterday revealed that few people in mortgage arrears have used an independent financial advice service set up last year, though more than 100,000 people remain in difficulties. Sean was joined by Noeline Blackwell Director General of the Free Legal Advice Centres(FLAC), who is not impressed at what's been done to help those in trouble.http://www.rte.ie/radio1/today-with-sean-o-rourke/programmes/2013/1217/493362-today-with-sean-o-rourke-tuesday-17-december-2013/?clipid=1379357

Partridge Orpington
This color was created in England, but was never recognised. It is, however,
recognized in Denmark, Germany and Holland.
A tip for breeding good females is that the markings in the saddle of the male
should be interrupted.
The eye color of the partridge orpington is brown-red, the beak and legs
pinkly white. In the females darker shining is allowed
These birds are incredibly calm and gentle. They are absolutely
stunning to look at and very good layers of medium to large eggs.

* Hinduism..

Webster Dictionary
the worship of Vishnu
Vaishnavism is one of the major branches of Hinduism along with Shaivism, Smartism, and Shaktism. It is focused on the veneration of Supreme Lord Vishnu. Vaishnavites, or the followers of the Supreme Lord Vishnu, lead a way of life promoting differentiated monotheism, which gives importance to Lord Vishnu and His ten incarnations. The oldest religious text in Vedic, Rigveda, describes Lord Vishnu as the Supreme Deity in Vishnu Sooktham: Rigveda mentions the Supreme Lord 93 times. Other shlokas are devoted to his faithful servants, mentioned in the scriptures as the limbs of Lord Vishnu. These minor deities include Indra, Surya, Rudra, Maruta, Vayu, Agni and Manyu. In general, the Vaishnava Agamas describe Lord Vishnu as the "supreme being and the foundation of all existence." This is explained in Katha Upanishad 2.2.13: nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam/ eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman, "the Supreme Being, the Personality of Godhead, is the chief living being amongst all living beings and grants the desires of all other eternal sentient beings" Its beliefs and practices, especially the concepts of Bhakti and Bhakti Yoga, are based largely on the Upanishads, and associated with the Vedas and Puranic texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, and the Padma, Vishnu and Bhagavata Puranas.

Novation agreement: transfer of service contract
Transfer a service contract between customers using this easy to use and effective novation contract. Although this novation agreement can be used to transfer any service contract, we have used the example of a transfer of website hosting services between hosting providers. Changes for other types of service agreement are very simple to make. The most common use for this agreement would be to change the parties to service contracts on the purchase of a business.
About this novation agreement
Use this document to transfer one party's rights and obligations under a service contract to another party.
This is a simple yet comprehensive agreement that can be used to novate any service contract with only minimal editing. It ensures continuity of service when the party receiving the service changes. For the purposes of providing a working example, this document has been edited to allow the transfer of a website hosting service agreement between the customers of an Internet service provider (ISP).
The consent of all three parties - the transferee, the transferor and the other contracting party - is required to effect the novation. Unless you specifically require the consent of the other contracting party (perhaps because your contract has a non-assignment clause), our assignment agreement may be an even simpler way of transferring your contract to someone else.
Why not a deed of novation?
We have a longer article titled Deeds: clearing the confusion on what a deed is, when to use one and why that explains why a deed of novation is unlikely to be required in practice.
To summarise the article, the deed format is used where one party to a contract receives no consideration. However, a novation is invariably "for value", and as such, a deed of novation confers little additional advantage.
In the unlikely event that a party agrees to novation out of pure kindness, the consideration can be entered as "one pound", or a "peppercorn". The sum does not need to have any relation to the value of the debt being novated.
When to use this novation agreement
This document can be used to transfer any service contract to another party.
There are, of course, many uses for this agreement. Examples of when this document might be used include:
- On the sale/purchase of a business that depends on the continuation of certain services (e.g. website hosting)
- On the sale of an asset in the process of being produced or amended
The buyer of this document might be:
- The service provider, looking to make sure that the buyer of the business keeps his business with the service provider
- The buyer of the business, keen to sort out the smooth transfer of day to day operations
- The seller of the business, who wishes to make a sale as easy and therefore as attractive to a prospective buyer as possible
You should use this novation agreement, rather than an assignment agreement if all parties to the contract will agree to the change and sign the contract. Its usually easier just to get the transferring parties to sign an assignment agreement, but some contracts have non-assignment clauses that mean that novation is the only valid way of transferring the contract to someone else. If in doubt, use this agreement and obtain consent from all involved.
