John 8:58 and 10:30-33, "I am."
by Matt Slick
Jesus said in John 8:58, "Before Abraham was, I am." This is a very important verse to Trinitarians because it is one of the places we use to show that Jesus is God. We maintain that Jesus attributed the divine name of God ("I AM" from Exodus 3:14) to Himself, but this verse alone may not be sufficient to prove His deity. There are a combination of other verses that contribute to the doctrine. Nevertheless, there are many non-Christian groups that deny that Jesus is God. Therefore, when they come to this verse, it must be dealt with. The reason is simple. If Jesus did say, "I am," it would give strong evidence that Jesus was claiming to be God.
This paper will not attempt to analyze the Greek translation principles that have lead various Bibles to render John 8:58 as "I have been" or "I was in existence," etc. Suffice it to say that the best recognized translations which have sought literal renderings of the text have translated the verse as "I am": NASB, NIV, KJV, RSV, etc.
The Jehovah's Witness Watchtower organization claims that the best translation of John 8:58 is "Before Abraham was, I have been." Notice that they do not have it say, "I am." Is it legitimate for the Watchtower organization to insist that John 8:58 is best translated as "I have been"? Let's take a look.
Ego Eimi means "I am"
In Greek, the words recorded in John 8:58 are "'prin abraam genesthai ego eimi." Literally, this is "Before Abraham was existing, I am." "Ego eimi" is literally "I am." This is the present tense. To say "I have been" is to use the perfect tense. In Greek, his would have been "aemane"; but Jesus didn't use it here. He used the present tense "ego eimi" which is "I am."
There are places, however, in the New Testament where the Greek present tense of 'ego eimi,' "I am," can be translated into the English perfect tense "I have been." An example of this is John 14:9 where Jesus says, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me . . . " In this verse, "Have I been" is originally the Greek present tense 'ego eimi'; but here, Jesus was answering the statement in verse 8, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Since in English it is awkward to say, "I am with you so long, and you still don't know me . . . ,?" it is then rendered as "Have I been with you so long, and you have not come to know me . . . ?" The translation of the Greek present into the English perfect tense is perfectly justifiable here because it doesn't make sense in English, but is it the case with John 8:58? Must it be translated as "I have been"? No. There is no linguistic requirement to translate it as "I have been" particularly when you notice that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus after he said, "ego eimi."
Two Views
Some say that the reason the Jews wanted to kill Jesus after He said, "Before Abraham was, I am" is that it was the last straw in a series of difficult and insulting things Jesus had been saying to the Jews in John chapter 8. Others say that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus for saying "Before Abraham was, I am" because "I am" is close to God saying "I am that I am" in Exodus 3:14. In other words, we can make the case that for Jesus to say, "Before Abraham was, I am" was equivalent to claiming God's name for Himself. This is something the Jews would absolutely protest. Let's look at the arguments:
The first argument states that Jesus had upset the Jews so much by what He had been saying that when he finally made his statement in verse 58, it was the last straw; the Jews snapped, and then they tried to kill him; but, they maintain, it wasn't because Jesus was claiming the divine title. They had just had enough.
What had Jesus been saying? Following is a list of some key statements by Jesus in chapter 8.
- "I am the light of the world" (8:12).
- "I am He who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of me" (8:18).
- "You don't know me or my Father" (8:19).
- "You are from below, I am from above" (8:23).
- "Unless you believe that I am, you shall die in your sins" (8:24).
- "The things which I heard from Him [God the Father], these I speak to the world" (8:26).
- "I speak these things as the Father taught me" (8:28).
- "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" (8:29).
- "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father . . . " (8:38).
- " . . . you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God, this Abraham did not do" (8:40).
- " . . . I proceeded forth and have come from God . . . " (8:42).
- "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death" (8:51).
- "It is my Father who glorifies Me . . . " (8:54).
- "Before Abraham was, I am" (8:58).
The preceding list has many profound statements. It is perfectly understandable that the Jews would be upset; but, it was Jesus' statement in 8:58 that triggered their murderous attempt. Was it because Jesus said "Before Abraham was, I have been" or "Before Abraham was, I am"? Which would be the phrase most likely to be the last straw for the Jews? It is quite possible that either statement would be sufficient; but, of course, any claim by Jesus to the divine name would be a stronger motivation for the Jews to kill Him.
Also, notice statements 1, 5, 11, and 14. These are clear declarations by Jesus where He exalts Himself to heavenly level. The Jews could easily see this and would protest--particularly when Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am." Since He did say, in Greek, "I am," it is more likely that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus for blasphemy. Consider Leviticus 24:16 which says, 'Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him" (NASB).
The Connection with John 10:30-33
Capital punishment was only for serious sins: blasphemy, adultery, etc. From what I can see in the Bible, saying you had a preexistence isn't blasphemy. However, claiming to be one with God is quite different. In John 10:30-33 Jesus said, "I and the Father are one. The Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning me?" 33"The Jews answered Him, 'For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God" (NASB).
Between John 8:59 where the Jews picked up stones to kill Jesus and John 10:30-33 where they again picked up stones to kill him, there is no mention of stoning whatsoever. John 10:31 is referencing back to John 8:59 when it says "The Jews took up stones again to stone Him." Note that they again wanted to kill Him, and this time they give the reason why. They said that Jesus was claiming to be God. Now, where would they get that idea? Could it have been where he said, "Before Abraham was, I am"? Could it be from where Jesus said, "I and the Father are one" (10:30). Since they wanted to kill Him both times, it would seem that Jesus had been making some very serious claims, or was it simply that the Pharisees misunderstood Jesus; and that Jesus never did claim to be God?
But, if Jesus was not claiming to be God in John 8:58 and 10:30, then what was it that He said that warranted such a violent response from the Jews in both cases? What phrase from Jesus did the Jews react to and what 'misunderstanding' did they have about what it was Jesus said that led them to claim that he was making Himself out to be God?
In my opinion, the best explanation for the Jews wanting to kill Jesus is that Jesus was claiming equality with God. They considered this blasphemy. The cults, like the bad religious leaders who opposed Jesus, deny who Jesus really is as well.

VOF Week 1: Knowledge is Power
I never knew how powerful the media could be until I joined the Pulsewire Group in February 2009. This was the beginning of my journey with Web 2.0. I find the Web amazing in that the river of knowledge being created is not from the top down approach we are used to but is created by each and every voice that comes into contact with he web until the river becomes a single flowing river of knowledge on women's issues.
In Web 2.0 , i have found that we are all free to tell our stories the way we, the people involved understand them and the way we want to tell them. Under the Web we have all become experts at writing, story telling, advice giving, information giving and social networking which is a remarkable development in any woman's life. There is no requirement for one to have been a media person or a write to inspire others. I find this to be very encouraging to women who have long wanted to tell their histories but have not had the platform to do so because of educational, social, economic and sometimes even political prerequisites. web 2.0 has made it possible for us to connect at the click of a button and iam proud to say that I have already been able to share a part of my lilife through my journal with Pulse Wire online, an opportunity which I would otherwise never have had had it not been for Web 2.0. I have also learnt a lot from the content pooling, aggregation and sharing aspect with regard to different cultures, challenges and successes faced by different women in the different continents of the world through the articles and comments made through Web 2.0.
Most of us women are scared to death to share our real life experiences in the media due to fear of stigmatization and fear of being labelled indecent names and being shunned by our communities and our own close families. Web 2.0 has provided us with that rare opportunity to bare all and put our issues as women on the table for all to see and debate with some pride without fear of victimization. Through reading and commenting on articles presented in the different groups such as Pulse Wire Web 2.0 is contributing towards building our self esteem and confidence to be the future voices of ourselves and our communities in the media in our different countries.
In conclusion I can safely say that under the new media and the Web 2.0 the lone voice will no longer be so alone but will become very loud with the support of the network . All I can say is that Iam proud to be part of the future voices and look foward to my voice being the louudest.
Roar like a lion Liba!
I too look forward to your voice being the loudest here! I can tell you have many things to say, many thoughts to share and stories to tell. I imagine you come across some intense situations in your line of work and it sounds like you face many challenges in working to get your son accepted as a part of your community. A mother's love knows no boundaries and I know you understand that better than anyone! I encourage you to continue using PulseWire and Web 2.0 to get your voice heard and receive the love and support you deserve!
so glad you are a part of Voices of our Future
A loud voice is growing louder!
Liba, I have the great opportunity to be a listener/reader to your first VOF journal entry. It's a privilege to listen to your story. I'm delighted to know how web 2.0 is strengthening your life and as you say the river of knowledge. Nice image! I like how you describe the freedom it allows you and the cross cultural connections it is providing you.
It must feel empowering to be taking a part in this VOF process. As you write your story, how do you sense your voice getting stronger and louder? I too find this to be very encouraging that women are telling their histories- the histories are busting through! Web 2.0 makes this sharing and connecting possible as you say with the click of a button and you are a part of this explosion. In your life and work- what specific role does web 2.0 play? Can you describe it more so that I can see and feel it? As your voice gets louder, what exactly does it say? What sounds is it making?
I hope to hear from you and I will be listening to your voice getting louder!

There are coffee tables with inbuilt storage, and then there is the earthquake-inspired coffee table designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Garza Marcos. The large crack that appears in the middle of the table is reminiscent of the San Andreas fault, the famous tectonic boundary in California.
Just like the sliding of the Pacific and North America plates that leads to real earthquakes, the coffee table slides open to reveal a useful storage space. As a functional piece of furniture, it is indeed all that it's cracked up to be.

Champlain Valley CrossFit
Jade is the head trainer and co-owner of Champlain Valley CrossFit. Like most CrossFitters, Jade developed an instant addiction to CrossFit when he discovered it in the summer of 2009.
In his pre-CrossFit days, Jade followed the traditional globa gym, body builder routine, but after going through "Fran" as his first workout, he knew he would never re-visit the dreaded curls and leg extensions. Shortly after finding CrossFit, Jade realized that there was no affiliate in Vermont and therefore took it upon himself to open Vermont's first CrossFit affiliate. CVCF is the second affiliate in Vermont, and the first in Chittenden County.
Jade dedicates most of his life to the entire lifestyle of CrossFit— reading, watching, training, learning— so that he can ever improve himself as a coach, educator and athlete. Jade believes that the CrossFit lifestyle is the key to becoming a healthy, happy, fit individual, and wants to share it with all who are interested.
Jade is a native Vermonter, he attended High School in South Burlington, and received his B.S in Business, Summa Cum Laude, from Champlain College.

|Comma-separated values (CSV)
|Written by Sigrid Suski
The comma-separated values (or CSV; also known as a comma-separated list or comma-separated variables) file format is a file type that stores tabular data. The format dates back to the early days of business computing. For this reason, CSV files are common on all computer platforms.
The CSV file format is very simple and supported by almost all spreadsheets and database management systems. Many programming languages have libraries available that support CSV files. Even modern software applications support CSV imports and/or exports because the format is so widely recognized. In fact, many applications allow .csv-named files to use any delimiter character.
The SOBI2 data can be imported and exported as CSV by using our Import and Backup Plugin.

Quality and Outcomes Framework 2006-2007 Data tables
This links to datafiles containing National, SHA, PCT and practice level data tables. The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), is a voluntary annual reward and incentive programme for all GP surgeries in England which is part of GP contracts. Results of GP practices' achievement against the QOF are published each year. The QOF is not about performance management, but resourcing and then rewarding good practice. For 2008-2009, a total of 8,229 GP practices in England are included in the published results, covering almost 100 per cent of registered patients in England. The QOF has four main components, known as domains. Each domain consists of a set of measures of achievement, known as indicators, against which practices score points according to their level of achievement.Read More

First-Generation Versus Second-Generation Antipsychotics in Adults: Comparative Effectiveness
Introduction to First-Generation and Second-Generation Antipsychotics (3 of 4)
Individuals taking antipsychotics of either class (first generation and second generation) may discontinue use because of adverse effects, lack of improvement in symptoms, or both.
A synthesis of the evidence from the clinical literature that directly compares the first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics may inform treatment choices that balance benefits and adverse effects for adults with psychosis, mania, or bipolar disorder.
Keywords: antipsychotics | first-generation antipsychotics | second-generation antipsychotics | typical antipsychotics | atypical antipsychotics | adverse effects | psychosis | mania | bipolar disorder

Associate or Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care
Like clean water, safe food, and toilet paper, breathing is one of those things we miss most in its absence. Yet there are so many things that can reduce our ability to take and process good air. Allergies, pollution, disease, smoking, short term and chronic illnesses, birth defects, and even stress conspire to make something as simple as breathing, difficult.
DSU's respiratory care program will equip you to help people of every age and walk of life. From newborn babies to the eldest citizen, many people will breathe easier, knowing you are on the job.
Possible Job Titles:
- Registered Respiratory Therapist
- Respiratory Care Practitioner
- Clinical Respiratory Specialist
- Pulmonary Diagnostician
- Neonatal/Pediatric Respiratory Care Specialist
- Certified or Registered Pulmonary Function Technologist
Job Outlook:
Benefits of a DSU Degree?
- Class Size/personal attention:
- In the clinical portion of the training the student to teacher ratio is 5:1. This small class size allows faculty to keep close watch on student progress.
- Cool facts:
- DSU is the only university in South Dakota offering these professional degrees. The profession of respiratory care is only 60 years old. Our program has been at Dakota State University since 1980!
- Faculty's unique experiences or certifications in this major:
- The faculty all hold the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) national credential.
- Integrated Technology:
- Tablet PC technology is infused into the classroom and laboratory setting.
- Special Facilities:
- The primary clinical affiliate hospitals are Sanford Health and Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, and Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City.
- Special opportunities:
- Students belong to an on-campus respiratory care club, and when in clinical training, the Sioux Falls or Rapid City branches of the respiratory care club. There are two $1,000 scholarships available when students start the clinical training portion of the curriculum.

- This cake looks delicious!I'm going to try it this week.Glad to see the back of Janella Purcell too...she was sooo patronising and downright rude to her co-host! Karen Lewison
- Am making this cake just after this message.....I liked Janella...she was the balance. Zoe seems lovely...love the show very much...very entertaining...and informative.... Rae Harry
- Love the show, fantastic to see it back, the balance between Zoe and Adrian's personalities is wonderful to watch, very imformative and enjoy browing the web site! Cheers Wendylou Wendy Lou
- I just made this cake.....cooking times do not seem right. I cooked for 20 mins as instructed and still very wobbly in the middle.....had to leave it in the oven for another 10 mins. It statrted to brown on the top and I should have covered it with baking paper...but I did not....unfortunately I took it out a little early and it was not quite cooked in the middle. Hopefully this will help somone else out (my oven is fan forced). Otherwise the cake was yummy when assembled. There are simpler recipes for coconut and pineapple cakes - this one was not really worth all the effort (and all the mixing bowls). Nice but not worth all the mess! I wonder if Karen and Rae also made this cake and if they had any problems. Would love to see thier feedback. Jennpf

customer experience analytics
Emotional decisions will cost you thousands without Customer Experience Analytics
It is human nature to make emotional decisions based on nothing more than a reaction to a feeling, even if it is irrational. In business, emotional decisions made every day without thorough customer experience analysis to support them is costing you tens of thousands of wasted dollars. How do you know you are making emotional decisions? If someone had directed you to make a change or has imposed a goal and a customer experience analyst has not verified the accuracy of such, it's a clue that it's an emotional decision. Continue reading
All you have to do is listen to your customers
Voice of the Customer; a catch phrase commonly uttered in offices around the globe. But what does it mean exactly? Where does it come from? How does a business decipher constructive (and valuable) feedback from noise? It is not uncommon to hear a manager say that you need to listen to the voice of the customer (VOC), but often that's where the initiative stops. Proclaiming the need to listen and actually listening are two very different things. So is acting on the information heard.
One of our clients focused on turning such a proclamation into action and made some changes to the internal processes causing customer dissatisfaction. The External Quality Monitoring program using a post-call survey methodology revealed that only 51.6% of their callers stated that their question or problem had been resolved on the first call. With barely more than one out of every two calls yielding a resolution, FCR was obviously an extremely costly issue for them because repeat calls have direct and indirect costs. It was definitely time to take action. Continue reading
Are unneccessary calls hiking up customer experience dysfunction?
What are your callers thinking about when they spend minute after minute on hold to speak to an agent? Probably among the thoughts would be 'what's taking so long'? Studies show that up to half of all customer service calls are unnecessarily placed due to high organizational dysfunction. A communication misstep within the customer service chain inevitably triggers a customer call to figure out what has happened with their order or shipment, for example. These unnecessary calls tie up valuable agent time, run up call center operation costs, increase customer effort and create an overall negative customer experience.
I recently placed an order online but never received an order confirmation. Usually I get a prompt confirmation email that includes the order number and an estimated ship date, but this time I didn't. Of course, my credit card was charged but without my order number or my confirmation I had to call customer service to ensure my order was actually placed. My not-so-helpful customer service agent said I had two options: wait to see if the order arrives or to reverse my credit card charges with my bank and place the order a second time. Something as simple as a missing order confirmation email had increased my customer effort score through the roof. Continue reading
Is your call center equipped to quickly respond to negative social media?
When was the last time you woke up and thought, "I can't wait to have a relationship with my utility company today!" Probably never.
The truth is, most people don't care about having a relationship with your company until they're unhappy with your products and services. Then they can't wait to tell their friends and followers in social media about it. Negative, public customer complaints put companies and call center agents in the position to be reactive with angry customers instead of proactive and positive. And angry customers force companies to respond and resolve complaints almost immediately putting additional pressure on your already busy call center. When immediate restructuring of call center operations to handle customer complaints in social media can't be immediately established, how will your call center respond to your disgruntled customers (and their rants in social media channels) quickly and adequately? How will you stop damage to your brand image online if you call center is either understaffed or ill-equipped to handle customer complains in social media?
We explore the 11 Steps to Social Media Success for Contact Centers in a no-charge ebook. It is possible for the social customer experience to be a positive one; is this in your customer experience analytic strategy? Customer comments like these can deliver valuable insights:
How marketing is destroying customer loyalty
The holiday shopping season is not a surprise to anyone; it comes at the same time every year. I tend to pay homage to the companies who are able to create the illusion of a shortage for their games and toys. Which company wouldn't love to be on the "Hot Toy List" for the holidays? My respect is given to the marketing team; those who create the demand and get the message out through that media that "THIS" is on the must-have list.
Each year I am struck by the fact that everyone knows what these items will be, well before Thanksgiving. What truly baffles me is that while these are the "must-haves" for the season, the retail stores do not have inventory of the items. In the interest of self-preservation, why aren't the stores listening to customer feedback? It's the same every year – we're sold out of X, Y and Z. What customer experience analytics are being used to and who is getting this information? Should there be such a barrier to spending money in retail stores? Continue reading

This salad's combo of buttery avocado, peppery arugula, mellow walnuts and salty cheese is a winner, but celery is really the star of this tasty and unusual salad. It provides a great crunch, and its clean, grassy flavor is highlighted by a light and fresh-tasting lemon vinaigrette. You might never think of these ingredients together in this way, but once you taste them, you'll surely be back for more!
|5 tablespoons
|extra-virgin olive oil
|3 tablespoons
|fresh lemon juice
|1/2 tablespoon
|shallots (finely minced)
|Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
|2 cups
|Earthbound Farm Organic Celery or Celery Hearts (thinly sliced)
|4 ounces
|Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Arugula
|Earthbound Farm Organic Avocado (peeled, pitted and thinly sliced)
|1/2 cup
|toasted walnuts (halves or pieces)
|1 ounce
|Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano
Place the oil, lemon juice, shallots, and salt and pepper to taste in a small jar and seal the lid tightly. Shake vigorously to emulsify the dressing. Set aside at room temperature.
Place the celery in a separate small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the dressing, stirring to coat the slices. Place the arugula in a salad bowl and add about 1 tablespoon of the dressing, tossing to coat; use more dressing as needed.
Divide the greens among 4 salad plates. Top each of the salads with some of the avocado and celery slices. Sprinkle with the walnuts, plus salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Using a vegetable peeler, shave a few thin slices of cheese over each salad. Serve immediately.

Dual Booting
Multiple Boot Environments
PC-BSD® supports a feature of ZFS known as multiple boot environments (BEs). With multiple boot environments, the process of updating software becomes a low-risk operation as you can backup your current boot environment before upgrading or making software updates to your system. If needed, you also have the option of booting into a backup boot environment. For example:
Managing Boot Environments
Boot environments are managed with the beadm command which must be run as the superuser. The following example creates a BE named beforeupgrade. The new BE is a clone of the current BE, the ZFS environment that you booted into.
beadm create beforeupgrade Created successfully
To view all BEs, use the list command
beadm list
BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created default NR / 6.05G static 2012-07-09 05:06beforeupgrade - - 1K static 2012-07-10 12:25
The possible flags in the "Active" field are as follows:
In this example, the current BE is called default, it is active now, and at next reboot; and it is mounted. The newly created beforeupgrade BE exists, but is inactive and unmounted. To activate the new BE:
beadm activate beforeupgrade
Activated successfully beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created default N / 64.5K static 2012-07-09 05:06beforeupgrade R - 6.05G static 2012-07-10 12:25
The flags now indicate that the system is currently booted into default, but at next boot the system will boot into beforeupgrade. Only one boot environment can be active at a time.

EnlightenmentEnlightenment[1] is a lean, fast, modular, and extensible window manager. It provides a desktop for launching applications, managing windows, and doing other system tasks like suspending, reboots, and managing files.
The first time you run Enlightenment, you will be prompted to select your Language, then either a touchscreen or a standard computer profile. You will then be prompted to select the size of title bars, the type of window focus, and whether or not to use compositing. If in doubt, you can select the defaults by pressing "Next" at each initial configuration screen.
Figure 6.6a shows a screenshot of Enlightenment running a standard computer profile on PC-BSD® 9.2. The icon on the far left of the iBar has been clicked in order to access the applications menu.
Enlightenment is very customizable. The User Guide[2] describes how to configure windows, shelves, menus, wallpaper, and much more.
evilwm[3] is an extremely light window manager. It does not support window decorations or icons and uses keyboard shortcuts to access xterms in order to run applications from the command line. Figure 6.7a shows a screenshot of evilwm running on PC-BSD® 9.2.
Notice that there are no icons, nor is there a system tray, an application panel, or window buttons. An xterm has been opened using Ctrl+Alt+Enter and shows the output of the ps command.
The keyboard shortcuts for manipulating windows are listed on the evilwm site[4].
To exit evilwm and return to the login screen, type killall evilwm within an xterm.

ownCloud[5] is open source software that allows you to create your own cloud storage. This allows you to share data, contacts, and calendars with other devices and users.
In PC-BSD®, you can create your own private cloud service by installing ownCloud either into a traditional jail that you created using Warden® or into a TrueOS® installation. For security reasons, installing ownCloud directly onto a desktop installation is not recommended, as the web and database services it requires may expose the desktop to security vulnerabilities. If you are installing ownCloud on a PC-BSD® system, create a traditional jail as it isolates the software installed into the jail from your desktop operating system.
Install and Start the Required Services
If you are installing ownCloud into a traditional jail, make sure that the jail has been started, then go to the "Tools" tab of the jail and click the "Package Manager" button as seen in the example in Figure 9.9a.
Check the boxes for databases ➜ mysql56-server, lang ➜ php55, and www ➜ apache24, then click the "Apply" button to install these packages.
Once installed, go to Tools ➜ Service Manager which will open the screen shown in Figure 9.9b. Highlight the apache22 service and click the "Enable Service" button and then the "Start" button. Repeat for the mysql service.
Verify that you can reach the web server by typing the IP address of the jail into a web browser. You should receive an "It works!" message. You will need to first allow incoming TCP port 80 on the jail interface using Firewall Manager if you use a web browser on a different computer.
If you are installing ownCloud onto a TrueOS® system, you will need to create the jail and install the dependencies from the command line. When creating the jail, specify the jail IP address and hostname as seen in this example:
warden create 10.0.0.1 owncloudjail --startauto
pc-metapkgmanager --pkgset warden --chroot /usr/jails/10.0.0.1 add MySQL,Apache,
Once the software is installed, access the jail by its IP address in order to edit the /etc/rc.conf file within the jail so that the required services start when the jail is available:
warden chroot 10.0.0.1 vi /etc/rc.conf
Add these two lines to that file:
Save your edits then start the services:
usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start
Verify that you can reach the web server by typing the IP address of the jail into a web browser. You should receive a "It works!" message. You will need to first edit /etc/pf.conf in order to allow incoming TCP port 80 using if you use a web browser on a different computer. An example would be to add a line to the "Nic specific rules" section:
pass in quick on re0 proto tcp from any to (re0) port 80 keep state
You may wish to replace any with just the IP addresses of the systems on your network. re0 should be replaced with the interface used by the jail.
Configuring ownCloud
You are now ready to download and configure ownCloud. If you are using a traditional jail on your desktop, go to Tools -> Launch Terminal to access the jail's command line. If you are using TrueOS®, use the warden chroot command to access the command line of the jail.
Once at the command line of the jail, download ownCloud into the Apache data directory.
cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data fetch http://download.owncloud.com/download/2012.4.5.12/owncloud-2012.4.5.12-enterprise.tar.bz2 tar xzvf owncloud-2012.4.5.12-enterprise.tar.bz2 chown -R www:www owncloud
Next, configure the MySQL database, substituting ocuser and mypass with the username and password that you wish to use:
mysql -u root mysql> create database owncloud; mysql> grant all on owncloud.* to ocuser@localhost identified by "mypass"; mysql> quit
Next, add the required PHP options to Apache. Open /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf in an editor and look for this line:
#AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
Add the following lines directly below that line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Then, look for the following section:
<IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.html </IfModule>
and change it to:
<IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule>
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24 restart
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart
Save your changes and restart the Apache and MySQL services.
Test your changes from a web browser by adding "owncloud" to the end of the IP address of the jail. For example, type http://10.0.0.1/owncloud/. You should see the setup screen shown in Figure 9.9c.
Input the name of the user and password that will be used to administer ownCloud, then click the " "Advanced" button. In the advanced settings, click the "MySQL" tab and input the MySQL username, password, and database name that you configured previously. Click the "Finish setup" button to save your changes and enter your new cloud interface -- shown in Figure 9.9d.
Click the left panel of the interface to access a type of media. For example, if you click "Files" and then the "New" button, you can upload a file, folder, or from a URL. If you click "Contacts", you can add a contact or import/export the address book.
Click the "Settings" icon at the bottom of the left panel to add users, configure applications, change the administrative configuration, and to access "Help".
Instructions for synchronizing the calendar and address book, integrating with a file manager, and integrating with a media player can be found in the documentation section of the ownCloud website[6]. Synchronization clients are available from the owncloud site[7].

Report Bugs
Have you found a bug in PC-BSD®? If so, please take the time to read through this section to ensure that your bug gets reported to the correct group and is resolved in a timely fashion.
First, determine the type of bug that you are encountering. Is it a bug that is preventing you from properly installing and running PC-BSD® (a system bug), or is it an issue with an installed software package such as FireFox (an application bug)?
An application bug can fall into a few different categories.
Application Packaging Bug
The first is a packaging bug, which is when you can not install the application or it simply crashes on startup. Please report these types of bugs by logging into the Trac Database[1] and clicking "New Ticket". In the "Type" drop-down menu select "PBI Packaging Bug" and select the operating system version you are using in the "Version" drop-down menu. Use descriptive words in the "Summary". In the "Description", provide as much detail as possible about the bug, such as:
If you would like to include a screenshot of the error or a log that includes error messages, check the box "I have files to attach to this ticket" to browse to the location of the attachment. Use the "Preview" button to read through your ticket to make sure that the information is clear to the person who will resolve the issue. When finished, click the "Create ticket" button to submit your bug report.
Application Runtime Bug
An application runtime bug occurs when an application installs and is able to start successfully, but during use, it crashes or exhibits some other type of undesired behavior. An example would be OpenOffice failing to import a type of document properly or a chat client unable to keep a connection to a network.
If you installed the application using AppCafe® and you think that the problem is related to how the PBI was packaged, report the bug on the PBI Discussion Forum[2]. If you suspect that the problem is with the underlying FreeBSD port, you can use FreshPorts.org to determine the email address of the port maintainer. If you do email the port maintainer, indicate the name of the port, any error messages that you receive and how to reproduce the bug, and indicate if you are able to assist the maintainer in testing any patches to the port. Once the port is fixed, let the PBI Discussion Forum know so that the PBI can be rebuilt using the fixed port.
System Driver Bugs
A system bug is any bug which prevents the initial installation of PC-BSD®, or causes issues with hardware. Some examples would be a non-bootable system, failed installation, missing drivers for your hardware, or a non-functional desktop after installation. To report this type of issue please follow the instructions below for your type of system bug.
An example of a system driver bug would be a missing network driver, no sound output, or no disk drives detected. Most of these types of issues are directly related to the FreeBSD base upon which PC-BSD® is built, and are best fixed by discussing them with the FreeBSD team directly. Reporting a bug to FreeBSD can be done using the Send PR[3] page. You should also search the FreeBSD mailing lists as other users may have already discovered the bug or have a work-around for your particular hardware. Below are some of the related mailing lists:
System Installation Bugs
Any bugs encountered during the installation of PC-BSD® should be reported to the Trac Database[9], with as much detail as possible, including:
Submit PBI Requests
Test PBIs
Create PBIs
Purchase PC-BSD® Swag
Host a Mirror
We are always interested in more download mirrors. If you have a system with a high-speed connection, 350-500GB of space, and the ability to rsync with a host, you can greatly help the PC-BSD® project and PC-BSD® users by becoming a mirror. More mirrors means faster download speeds and more geographic locations for users to download from.
This rsync command will mirror the entire collection of installation files and PBIs:
rsync -vaz --delete-delay --delay-updates isc.pcbsd.org::ftp .
That command should be run as a cron job with a recommended frequency of at least once daily with a preferred interval of every 12 hours.
Once you have begun the rsync process, send an email to kris at pcbsd dot org letting him know the URL of the mirror so that the new mirror can get listed and become available to users.
Seed a Torrent
PC-BSD® is also distributed as a torrent[10] and you can increase download speeds for other users by seeding, especially during the first two weeks after a new release. If you are new to seeding, read through the GotBSD FAQ[11] first.
The Network-P2P category of AppCafe® provides several torrent utilities including:

Posted by togrady in SQL Server Admin on August 22, 2011
The checkpoint process writes dirty pages from the buffer pool area of memory to physical disk. It does not remove the pages from the buffer pool instead it marks them as clean again.Its purpose is to reduce the active portion of the log necessary to preform recovery so the frequency at which the checkpoint process is run determines the length of time it will take to recover the database when it is started up. This needs to be balanced against the overhead required to run the checkpoint process. Similarly to the lazy writer process, checkpoint runs as a background task. We can query the sysprocesses system table to view its status:
SELECT cmd, spid, status, dbid, login_time, waittime, lastwaittype, loginame,cpu, memusage, physical_io FROM sysprocesses WHERE cmd IN ('LAZY WRITER', 'CHECKPOINT')
By default SQL Server determines the interval at which the checkpoint process runs. This is usually every 1 minute. This behaviour can be changed by setting the recovery interval which is an advanced configuration option.
Generally I don't change the default value of 0 which is to allow SQL Server control the checkpoint process.
Checkpoint and the buffer pool
I want to see exactly what the checkpoint process does and how this impacts on the buffer pool. I have setup a test database called DBA (DB_ID = 7)with a table called tblTest. This is a small table with a couple of rows. I have already determined that it is using page 222. The first thing I want to do is clear the page from cache. TO do this I am going to call the checkpoint statement to clean the page and then I am going to call DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to remove all clean pages form the buffer pool. Since I have set the recovery interval to 1000 minutes the automatic checkpoint process should not kick in. Just to be sure I am also going to turn on Trace flag 3502. This will log all checkpoint activity in the SQL Server Log.
I can verify that the page is not in the buffer pool by using the dm_os_buffer_descriptors dmv.
1: select * from sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
2: where page_id = 222 and database_id = 7
Next I am going to bring the tblTest into the buffer pool and dirty it., I am going to do this by updating all the existing rows in the table.
I can verify that the page is now in the buffer pool and that the page has been modified (dirty). The is_modiifed column in sys.dm_os_buffer_discriptors indicates the status of the page (clean / dirty as 1/0)
1: select * from sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
2: where page_id = 222 and database_id = 7
When we run a checkpoint again the page should remain in the buffer pool but it should now be clean
5: select * from sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
6: where page_id = 222 and database_id = 7
This shows that the checkpoint process cleaned the page and left it in the buffer pool
Checkpoint and the transaction log
I am not going to get into Transaction Log management. For the purposes of the demo I setup the following
- The database is in the simple recovery mode
- There were no outstanding active transactions
- No other transaction log dependant features such as replication or DB mirroring were setup on the box.
I have a database setup and I have run a number of transactions against it. The recovery interval has been set to 1000 minutes. I am going to use DBCC LOGINFO and the undocumented
6: SELECT [Current LSN],[previous LSN], [Operation], context,
7: [Checkpoint Begin], [checkpoint end], [page id], [minimum lsn],
8: Dirty Pages] spid, [Begin Time], [Transaction Name],
9: [End Time], [Lock Information],Description
10: FROM ::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL) ;
1: checkpoint;
3: dbcc loginfo;
5: SELECT [Current LSN],[previous LSN], Operation, context,
6: [Checkpoint Begin], [checkpoint end], [page id], [minimum lsn],
7: [Dirty Pages] spid, [Begin Time], [Transaction Name], [End Time],
8: [Lock Information], Description
9: FROM ::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
So when does checkpoint run
When the database is shutdown a checkpoint is run against each database. The only exception to this is when shutdown is called with the no wait option or the server crashes.
The checkpoint process is run before each backup
The transaction exceeds maximum's for the active portion
SQL Server Clustering 2 – Windows Setup
We currently run a couple of production SQL Server clusters, the trouble for me is that they are very stable, I do not have to do much to maintain availability. to improve my Clustering knowledge I am taking a 2 phased approach. Since I learn best by doing, on top of reading up on the theory I am going to build a two node windows 2003 cluster (virtualised) I am going to install SQL 2005 on top of it.
I was lucky that a few things went wrong and I learned a lot doing the install. The most important thing I learned do not attempt to install a SQL Server Cluster using RDP. Make sure all RDP connections are closed before starting the install and install from the console. I do not know why this is an issue, I must investigate further??? The error messages returned talked about Error message saying the native client will not install and No process is on the other end of the pipe. troubleshooting both of these, in the end it was RDP that was causing the issues.
I used VMware to build a 2 node windows 2003 cluster and I installed a SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition cluster on top of this. The main documents I consulted during the install were
|SQL 2005 Clustering White Paper
|Windows 2003 Cluster White Paper
Following this documentation, these are the notes I made to assist me with future installs.
- Setup a single Virtual Machine using a standard configuration but add an additional NIC for the private heartbeat
- Install Microsoft Windows Enterprise Edition with all applicable updates on both nodes, keeping both configurations identical. When the setup completes
- Configure networking for both the LAN and the Private heartbeat NIC's
- Under Control Panel > Network Connections > Advanced Settings >
- Configure the binding order, the LAN NIC should come first
- Configure the private NIC
- Disable everything except TCP/IP
- Set the duplicity to half / 10mb's –reliability over performance
- Use a separate class of network to public
- FOR TCP/IP have no default gateway, no DNS, disable NETBIOS
- Power off Node1
- Within VMware Clone Node1
- Turn on the cloned Node1 which becomes Node2
- Change the server name and the assigned IP addresses
- Add Node2 to a domain
- Turn on Node1
- On both nodes run ipconfig /all and complete a quick comparison between nodes
- Add Node1 to domain
- A minimum of 3 shared disk are required (Quorum, MSDTC, SQL)
- Add the shared disks to Node1, to do this the disk must first be zeroed out.
- Use PUTTY to logon to the Server console and run vmkfstools –w diskname.vmdk
- When adding the disk there is a requirement to use a new SCSI controller which is set to LSI Logic, with the SCSI bus sharing set to Virtual.
- Add the disks to Node2 following the same procedure
- Power off both nodes
- Power on Node1 and add the disks through disk management and DISKPART setting the partition alignment.
- Verify the disks in window's explorer – add txt document edit and delete
- Power off Node1
- Power on Node2 and Test the disks
- Power off Node2
- Power on Node1
- Ensure to have
- IP address for Cluster and a cluster name
- A domain account which has local Admin rights on Node1 and 2
- from Cluster Administrator launch cluster setup wizard
- When the setup completed review the cluster configuration log file C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\Cluster\clcsfsrv.log
- power on Node2
- From Node1 add Node2 using Cluster Administrator add node
- Test that failover works between both nodes.
- From Cluster Administrator
- Set the Network Priority. Give private priority
- Configure Private (heartbeat) for Private only
- Public (LAN) for mixed
On both node1 and node2
- Enable MSDTC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817064
- Configure MSDTC http://support.microsoft.com/?id=301600
- Ensure MSDTC will failover for both nodes
Query Performance
How can I identify slow running queries and what causes a query to run slowly?
One approach I like to use to identify query performance issues is use the built-in DMV's available from SQL Server 2005 onwards. One of my favourites to start is sys.dm_exec_query_stats. This DMV looks at plans that are stored in the plan (procedure) cache. The view returns one row for each statement in a plan. When using this dmv I have to remind myself that not everything gets stored in the plan cache for instance:
- Zero cost or trivial plans
- DBCC , Backups and RECOMPILES,
On top of this older plans can get aged out depending on resource requirements, so it will not give a complete picture of your system, but it is a good good place to start given its benefit's including:
- the data already collected for you by SQL Server
- it is non intrusive and resource light
Query Anatomy
It is worth taking a quick step back and reviewing how the plan cache fits into to the Anatomy of a Query. When a user executes a query SQL Server asks the command parser to verify that the query is syntactically correct, once this completes successfully it next generates a hash for the query and checks the plan cache to see if an existing plan is available for the query. Command Parser checks the –> plan cache (part of the buffer pool memory). It is area of memory that sys.dm_exec_query_stats queries for its information
sys.dm_exec_query_stats can help identify where plans are over utilising resources such as:
- CPU (worker)
- I/O – Memory (logical)
- I/O – Disk (Physical)
- Recompiles A bottleneck on any of these resources can cause queries to run slowly.
A quick but important distinction, important for SQL Server performance
- Physical I/O = Disk = Expensive (slow)
- Logical I/O = Memory = Faster
sys.dm_exec_query_stats gives the time the plan last started executing and the time the plan was compiled. This can be useful in narrowing the scope of the result set, for example if I only want to look at queries executed today or this week. The dmv also gives the plan handle and sql handle these are tokens that refer to the batch and plan that the query is part of, more on these later.
The chart below distinguishes between the various resources required by a query and the values we can obtain from sys.dm_exec_query_stats.
Totals – are totals since last compile
max / min – values are values achieved ever by the query
When running a query I can order the result set based on any of the resources identified above. If for example I have already identified that CPU is a bottleneck then I can order the result set by either total_worker_time or the average worker time DESCENDING.
Taking all this on board I usually end up with a query that look like:
,creation_time –time plan was last compiled
,last_execution_time — time the plan last started executing
,plan_generation_num – The number of times the plan was recompiled
,execution_count – number of times plan was executed since last recompile
,total_worker_time/ execution_count as avg_CPU_time
,total_logical_reads / execution_count as avg_Logical_read
,total_physical_reads / execution_count as avg_Physical_read
,total_logical_writes / execution_count as avg_logical_writes
FROM SYS.dm_exec_query_stats
order by avg_CPU_time DESC
The result set will tell me; for an averaged execution which queries are using the most CPU time.
- Has a query started to run slower and how can we tell ?
- We already looked at the total_elapsed_time / execution_count = Average Elapsed time
- Difference between the last_elapsed_time and the total_elapsed_time gives us an idea if it is running more slowly. Also we can look at the max_elapsed_time and the min_elapsed_time
- Difference between Average worker Time and last_worker_time = increase in query cpu time for last time run
- Is the difference across multiple queries or just one?
To make it more meaningful and to allow me to start troubleshooting performance issues what I need to see is the text of the query and the plan the query is using. To get these I use the sql_handle and plan_handle tokens I talked about earlier to call a couple of more DMV's. Firstly sys.dm_exec_sql_text, this dmv is a function and takes the sql_handle as a parameter, it needs to be combined with the statement_start_offset and the statement_end_offset to retrieve the query text. Books Online has an example of how to achieve this.
(SELECT SUBSTRING(st.text, statement_start_offset/2 + 1,
(CASE WHEN statement_end_offset = -1
THEN LEN(CONVERT(nvarchar(max), st.text)) * 2
ELSE statement_end_offset
END – statement_start_offset) / 2
FROM sys.dm_exec_sql_text([sql_handle]) AS st) AS query_text
TO look at the query plan,I use the sys.dm_exec_query_plan dmv this takes the plan_handle as a parameter and returns the queries execution plan. Exercise caution when executing this dmv as can be resource intensive.
select * from sys.dm_exec_query_plan([plan_handle])
BOL search for : sys.dm_exec_query_stats

Trying to utilise all a Physical Servers CPU's of one host in VMware
Posted by togrady in Uncategorized on April 6, 2011
Our VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise license covers us for for 2 physical CPUs (1-6 cores per CPU), we are running it on a 2 CPU x 4 core box giving us 8 virtual CPU's but as we discovered we can only allocate 4 virtual CPU's per host.
TO resolve this we would have to purchase an Enterprise Plus license per cpu for a 2 cpu server. In fact to enable failover and VM ware high availability features we would also need to purchase a set of licences for an additional server.
We are currently evaluating the best way to provide a high availability SQL Server environment. At the moment we are using MSCS we felt we may be able to better utilise server resources if we could move SQL Server to VMware but this may not be justifiable given the license costs of Enterprise Plus
VMware have a KB about it here http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/editions_comparison.html
