Option to VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) lltstat command will panic system.

Option to VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) lltstat command will panic system.
Dear Valued VERITAS Customer,
Because product quality and customer responsiveness are consistent VERITAS Software hallmarks, we take any and all issues very seriously and have quickly moved to address them.
This TechAlert is to inform you of a recently discovered issue, validated by Technical Support, involving VERITAS Cluster Server.
The issue: When using VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS), version 1.3.0 on Solaris, issuing the lltstat command with the unsupported and undocumented '-L' option will panic that system. The '-L' option was intended to be used with a new feature in a future release and was inadvertently left enabled in the released utility. This problem will not be encountered during normal usage of VCS or the lltstat command.
The archive described in this TechAlert contains a fixed lltstat utility that has the '-L' option disabled. Since the '-L' option was not previously available there has been no loss of functionality in lltstat. This issue only exists in the 1.3.0 release of VCS for Solaris. Do not use this lltstat-fix binary on any other VCS release. This fixed binary will be included in the upcoming patch release of VCS for Solaris, and is not an issue in VCS for HP/UX or NT. This problem has been identified as VERITAS incident #57214.
The version of LLT on a system can be identified by checking the VERSION field of the VRTSllt package:
# pkginfo -l VRTSllt
PKGINST: VRTSllt
NAME: VERITAS Low Latency Transport
CATEGORY: optional
ARCH: sparc

I need your advice!
I finally decided to rewire my entire house because insurance companies won't insure.
I had 4 bids: $15,000, $12,000, $8,000 and $5,000.
The one I trust most is the company for $8,000.
But I decided go with a fifth company. It is a highly rated large company which charges by the hour.
He sounds like it will be a little less than $8,000. But that's not the reason I am going with him. His company is big enough to pay for any damage if a guy falls through the roof, plus he has a crew that specializes in rewiring.
Any tips on how to keep from getting ripped off. I am retired and will be home all the time. I will try to do most of the hole cutting. I already have several holes cut to speed access and know how to get to most tough locations in this 2 story house. Each day cost $520 for the crew, so an extra 2 days is $1040 extra or 2 days shaved is $1040 saved.
I am thinking of offering a bonus to the 2 workers. $200 each if you finish in 2 weeks. (Company bidding $8,000 said two weeks.) $100 each, if you slightly go over two weeks. Of course if they show they saved me a couple of days but went over I would still give them $200 extra. Are bonuses, ethical? Any other bonus ideas?
What other tips?
This post was edited by bugbite on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 15:25
Usually the bid is the price and if they get done sooner you still pay the bid price. I would be very careful if they are giving you a price and saying it may be more if they go over 2 weeks. Old work is tricky and sometimes you might think something is easy and its really not. I've had some that I thought would take a few hours and they took a day or two. It sounds like he may have bid low to get the job and plans on the extras, there are alot of people out there that do that, be careful. Also just cause a company is bigger doesn't mean they are better. All companies have insurance and can cover any accidents like falling through a roof.
Thanks Niick,
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I am going with a company that charges by the hour. Not one of the fixed bids.
I know this is risky. That's why the bonus for early completion.
Off the subject: The city built a bridge that would have taken about 2 years at the normal snails pace. They offered the contractor a $2 million bonus if they did it in 4 months. They completed it in 4 months.
If you want to save them time, stay out of their way. Do not get involved thinking it will help. If they are professionals who do this on a regular basis, they already have proven methods to accomplish the work. An unskilled hand, no matter how well intentioned, will just clog up the machine. Also, if you haven't already signed a contract, I would seriously reconsider hiring out this job out on a contract price to protect your financial interest.
There is an excellent article that covers many of your concerns here: http://www.sheknows.com/home-and-gardening/articles/1002949/verify-a-contractors-insurance-to-prevent-unexpected-costs
If a contractor shows any reservations about your communicating with his insurance agent re his insurance, move on.

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — The bodies of three women were pulled Friday from a car that had been in Newport Harbor for hours after it plunged off a pier and landed on its roof, police said.
Part of the Hyundai Accent was sticking out of about 4 feet of water when it was discovered around 6:30 a.m. at the Newport Shipyard, a privately owned marina near several of the tourist city's largest hotels and vacation condo complexes, Newport police Capt. Fred Gonsalves said. A fuel deliveryman saw the car and alerted authorities, Gonsalves said.
He said police are still investigating when the car went into the water and why, but said they did not suspect foul play.
The car had Rhode Island plates, and Gonsalves said he did not know whether it was a rental car or was owned by one of the women in the car.
The car was hauled out of the water by a crane around 8:30 a.m.
Newport police Capt. Russell Hayes told The Newport Daily News that one of the victims was from New York state and the two others live overseas. He said emergency personnel were notifying the victims' families and no other information was available.
The driver apparently missed a right-hand turn, Hayes told the newspaper.

India is too poor to understand me, to be interested in me. Indians come here to stay for one day, two days - at the most three days. They come here only for one day, but they want to be treated like others. They feel very shocked when they come to know that I will not be initiating them myself, that some of my disciples will initiate them. They feel very shocked: Why this treatment with us? But you are staying only one day here. In the morning you come, you want sannyas in the evening, and tomorrow you are gone. And the people who have been here for six months meditating, going through dozens of growth groups, working hard, you want that you should be treated exactly like them. You may stay the same way, you go through the same processes, you risk as much as they risk - for that they are not ready. But they feel offended, that they should be given the same opportunity.
Again and again they write to me, "Westerners are sitting in front of you and we are told to sit at the back." You should be happy that even you are allowed to sit at the back. Soon there will be no space at the back. You have to earn it. The people who are sitting in front of me have been here for six years, seven years. There are people who have come once and never gone again. They deserve it, they have earned it.
This is the first reason that I am talking about the highest form of religion; because I am talking about the whole world. To me, nations don't mean anything, races don't mean anything, colors don't mean anything. I am talking about a New Man, which is going to be born, which has become almost an absolute necessity because without the New Man the humanity cannot survive anymore. The old is rotten, and we have to get rid of it; but before we get rid of the old the new has to be brought on the scene. My work here consists in giving birth to the New Man, to a new humanity.
The second reason why the Indians are afraid is that Indians already think they know, and they know nothing. They are simply carrying a dead heritage. They are very knowledgeable, they can recite the Gita and the Vedas and the Upanishads, parrotlike, not knowing what they are saying. They have not experienced those truths, but they can recite them like gramophone records. And because of this, they think they know what religion is. Why they should come here?
The West in that way is innocent, is not knowledgeable. It has a tremendous inquiry, but no blocks; it is ready to explore. The knowledgeable person is always willing to explore; he is always afraid because something may go against his knowledge. He would like truth to be according to him, not vice versa. He is not ready to be according to the truth - which needs guts, which needs an open mind.
In the East, particularly in India, people don't have open mind at all. They have very closed minds. They are so full of holy cow dung that there is no space inside.
I can have an appeal only to those who are explorers, adventurers, inquirers, who are in a way innocent.
And the third reason. The third reason is concerned with those people who are neither poor nor knowledgeable. Why they are not coming here? There are rich people in this country. This is a country of contrasts: ninety-eight percent people are very poor, two percent people are very rich. Those two percent rich people are afraid to come, for the simple reason: just to be associated with my name is a danger. They write to me that, "We would like to come, but we are afraid." Just to be associated with my name is dangerous. People will start talking to them, "So you have also become a victim? So you are also hypnotized? We had never thought that you are so mad, so crazy!"

Audi S7 review
The S7 Sportback is the fastest version of the classy A7. Its twin-turbo V8 engine gives this luxury hatch serious punch
Sponsored Links
The Audi S7 is the performance flagship of the stylish A7 range. Sharing its twin-turbo V8 with the S6 and S8 it has 414bhp and 550Nm of torque. As you'd expect it's matched to Audi's quattro all-wheel drive, to deliver a very accomplished blend of blistering performance and confidence inspiring grip. The beautifully designed and finished cabin is first-rate, while a pair of decent sized rear seats and a hatchback tailgate mean it's a practical choice, too.
Combining the grand proportions of the standard A7 with the familiar trademark styling details of Audi's sporty models, the S7 turns heads. Subtle badges, a chrome trimmed grille, metal effect door mirrors and a pair of twin exhaust pipes mean this performance coupe looks the part. LED headlights give it extra wow factor, while the chrome window surround highlights the sweeping profile of this classy Audi.
A beautifully appointed and comfortable cabin, effortless performance and loads of grip – the S7 has it all. The silky smooth character of the V8 engine is infused with a subtle V8 soundtrack, while the standard twin-clutch gearbox offers fast shifts. The standard Drive Select system allows you to fine-tune the steering, throttle, suspension and gearbox and while the Audi is accomplished rather than thrilling, it has great body control and feels pretty sharp for a car of this size. Standard air suspension ensures it rides okay, too.
Audi has a strong reputation for reliability and the S7 features components used across the range. Six airbags, xenon lights and parking sensors are standard. The full range of Audi's active safety technology features on the options list. You can choose from active cruise control, lane departure warning and blind spot warning. There's also the option to specify a head up display, a reversing camera or Audi's speed limit display system.
Compared to conventional coupes, and even similarly sized saloons, the S7 is very practical. With four very comfortable seats and decent headroom in the back, passengers are well looked after. The generous 535-litre boot expands to 1,390 litres when the seats are folded flat. There's also the option to add a ski hatch between the rear chairs, but it's the versatile hatch tailgate that gives the S7 its biggest advantage over traditional performance saloons.
Running Costs
Clever cylinder shutdown technology means when it's not under heavy load, the large capacity V8 runs on only half its eight cylinders. Audi's hi-tech artificial noise creation system means you never notice that you're temporarily driving on four cylinders, while the tweaks help reduce emissions to 225g/km. However, the S7 is still in the 35 per cent tax bracket, so it isn't a cheap company car choice. Combined fuel economy will realistically dip below the 30mpg mark, and while a Mercedes CLS 500 will fare better at the pumps, the Audi has better predicted residuals.

how much?
Running costs aside I don't think there is anything better out there for the money.

Consensus met on four-team playoff
By Adam Rittenberg and Mark Schlabach
CHICAGO -- The BCS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick on Wednesday endorsed a seeded four-team playoff model for college football that would begin for the 2014 season.
The commissioners' consensus must be approved by the BCS presidential oversight committee, which meets June 26 in Washington, D.C. If approved, the four-team playoff would replace the BCS system, which has been in place since 1998.
"We're very unified," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. "There are issues that have yet to be finalized. There's always devil in the detail, from the model to the selection process, but clearly we've made a lot of progress."

"The biased television coverage plays its part, but unlike Soviet propagandists, who told people what to think, Russian propagandists tell people what they want to hear".Russian TV propagandists must have taken their clues from American TV networks, especially their Iraq war coverage. The article itself seems to confirm this view. Still, Russians have yet much to learn, particularly how to pretend being "impartial" and "independent" while producing conservative, state-sponsored propaganda (or agit prop, to pick an old bolshevik expression).
@ NB12. You know pretty well that I meant the ruthless and unpatriotic behaviour of some of our ethnic fellows, residing as citizens among different nations - according to Karl Marx' famous "On the Jewish Question". These individuals are damaging the reputation of hundreds of thousands of us who are different. We should clearly dissociate ourselves from those criminals and not give them on top of that even shelter. I really don't understand Israel on this matter.
In the case of Nazi Germany, I hope and have confidence that this was a one-time derailment in her history (due to an inhumane dictatorship and other circumstances) and not a recurrent theme of their intrinsic ethnic behaviour.
To NB12:The only reason I brought up Jews was because Hermitter asked me a question about them. I was simply answering his question, that is all. They are completely irrelevant to the wider debate. I did not imply in any way that because Gaidar is Jewish he is a CIA agent.I also didn't say that Jews were unloyal to Russia, I said that those oligarchs in the nineties (most of which who were Jews) were unloyal to Russia, and thank God that their (not Jewish) rule is over. Finally after accusing me of saying "absolutely another thing to claim that because of their genetics or origin or they were bent selling off the country to foreign interests" you say: "I start believing that paranoiah is simply a part of the Russian genetic code."This is very hypocritical.So I really do not appreciate you mischaracterizing me with such cheap and false shots especially over such a touchy issue, and I would appreciate an apology...Finally, instead of answering the post that I addressed to you, you chose to answer to a post that I posted in responce to a question that Hermitter asked me. Unproffessional.Finally about the reforms in the early 90s.In a sense you are right that shock therapy was going to be painful regardless of how it was implemented. But this has nothing to do with selling off he country's oil production assets at cut rate prices to God knows who. The backlash that followed was absolutely natural and justified. And your earlier statement about a continuation from the Yeltsin regime is true also in the sense that many of the same neo-liberal economic policies are being followed today with such "icons" as Chubais and Chernomyrdin and newcomers like Kudrin still determining econ. policy.And you brought up the Baltics... I really hope you don't support their criminal regimes. European Union countries that issue gray "non-citizen" passports to people who were born in the country. SS marches in downtown. EU should be ashamed of themselves. It was the "Latvian Strelki" that helped Lenin come to power. Nato members or not, they will pay for their apartheid policies.
to Hey Stranger:
Otrageous videos! and there are many more similar ones on youtube.

In all other respects I am not. Not that I particular care for nationality but if asked I would define my origin as Russian/Central Asian. I have relatives in Armenia too. Why do you ask? You think that Jews are responsible for some of your PR problems?
2 NB2And I live in Saint-Petersburg at the moment and have opposite point of view. Hermitter is right, most ill-wishers never been to Russia and have no idea what it is. I don't say all of them but most. 2 Phan Kane And mr. Bush is shaking hand to mr. Saakashvili - the war criminal who admited today that he attacked Ossetia first. (maybe you don't know that, the free media seldom write about such uninteresting things).
The point Random Commentator is making about the need for transparency is generally correct and even more correct in the case of the Russians who are usually very distrustful of all systems and institutions. Russian financial institutions are not even opaque, I would call them murky and this makes Russia ill prepared for crises of this kind that are driven very much by the collapse of trust between and to financial and other institutions. Across the West the credit system, inter bank lending, all seized up, but Russia simply went straight into the state of economic paralysis. You can make intelligent or unintelligent guesses about the solvency of various Western financial institutions, but in Russia with its endemic corruption nobody is even trying to do it. The credit and investment simply stopped as a result of the absence of any reliable information about who and how is doing during this crisis. The Russians has already burned 1/4 of their foreign reserves and rainy day funds to little effect and the Russian government will have to take providing credit to industries on itself, if it wants at least the minimal economic activity to continue.
Your point of view just proves that Russia can only take bad examples as a partern. In fact. it never turns itself into best examples. I may explain it only by the fact that Russian political elite wants to keep its power on the basis of autaritarism. Otherwise current Russian elite would fail in mid-term political strategy. Russia strongly believes in one rudimentarial myth --- only political power may bring fortune and nothing else. Putin's team don't see itself in society without strong power as Kremlin. This is what Putin's team follow in its current plan. They called it "Putin's plan". The Kremlin's pro-Putin team can even agree on making him, Putin, a monarch.
The absence of freedom with the presence of an illusion of freedom seems to be what the Kremlin wants. Sort of like the old serf system, where there were an aristocratic elite, with everyone else stuck below. Conditions aren't as bad as they were back then, but really, conditions everywhere are better than back then (more or less). I wonder if the state propaganda, in telling people what it wants to hear, is sort of like the old Orwellian principle of keeping the masses calm with soothing music. Keep trouble out of their minds, keep protests and discontent out of the streets. The whole things an illusion of course. But one wonders if the PM and president of Russia have their hands tied when it comes to nationalism and sustaining this illusion. For example, I wonder if Medvedev (or even Putin) could even satiate the publics desire for revenge without invading Georgia. The beast of nationalism may get out of hand yet.
Especially when the European Governments give shelter to sticky fingers Russian nouveau riches.
We have enough freedom in Russia and maybe even too much. That's why I'm here reading Economist and other western publications. We can criticize anyone in this country but you still cannot believe it and it's your problem then. Feels like some of you wish Russia to go down the drain. Then there would be nothing much for you to do as not to express your creativity and skills in your compositions on Russia and its politics. However, reading your posts here one feels that you draw information only from western sources and never read Russian media and it means that you don't get a different point of view on the events. For your knowledge we got access to any sort of western media. I guess many of you watch CNN, ABC or the like. Specially ABC or NBC do you see any difference between home news and world news? Anyway Putin is supported by the majority of population like 80% and it was admitted by the Economist and not only. Today Putin was answering questions of the Russians on Russia's TV for more than 3 hours on various matters including democracy in this country. Hope you'll have pretty soon a chance to read reports in the Economist and we'll again meet to discuss the breaking news from Putin.
Another thing is that pretty soon relations between Russia and the West will improve (they're improving already now if you follow the news) and your masters will give a sign not to be that biased in your scribbles on Russia.
Yankee Doodle the logic is that the American missiles in Poland threaten to nuke Russia and cause disbalance of power.
old big brother ) What are you? A novelist? The thing is that Russia has never been a brother to western countries. It was America who created a lame image of Russia. What Russia is trying to do is just to develop and make others count with it! All recent tendencies in the policy of Russia is just a reply to the hostile countries. Its not a secret that weak Russia gives many advantages to EU to some extent and more to USA.
I'm pretty sure that Russia is not interested in what is going on in USA and on the contrary USA has always been jealous when Russia felt fine. We have oil and gas and the whole Mendeleev table here while USA is a mere nothing these days with tons of papers and securities which don't actually have any back up. All America has now is a huge debt! What is more it drags the other countries to the debt pit. Once again would like to point out that I personally don't have anything against any nation and country in the whole world, but I remain the fierce opponent of the US policy. So go on print your currency... it already floods the markets... in a while, dollar will not cost today's dime. And again it is not blind nationalism it is a fact which many don't want to face.
You never heard about the Cold War and many other facts because your education system is very specific. You guys are narrowly oriented in school, when here in Russia people learn a wide scope of subjects which definitely broadens their outlook. Ok, probably you are the exception, but in general what I written in my previous post is a crying truth. I have lived and studien in US for half a year and I can tell you several facts from my own experience in US. However, that is also true about the British, but thats a different story.
I once again admit that there are also the exceptions. There are no bad nations there are bad people and it is usless to deny that every nation has this kind of people.
In terms of Iran... Well, ok! I know lot's of Countries that in past said they wouldn't do this or that and US is not an exception. Example: Germany signed a doc saying they will not attack Soviet Union. The outcome of this is a common fact. No need to comment on this.
Recent events: Georgia also had said it will not attack Osetia, but it did.
Honestly, giving Iran nuclear power is very dangerous thing, even for Russia, but from another point of view I can understand iranians. They just don't want to loose their country as Iraqians did, thanks to US. We can also dwell on the fact that Iran is an extrimist country, but could you please tell me who gave the US the power or who put the US in charge of deciding on the matters of such countries as Iraq and Iran? Is US a modern Mother Teresa? Americans pay a big price for the plans of your government and those who stands behind it. I really feel sorry for those who died during 9/11, but this catastrophy was fabricated by your government. No evidence of the aircraft crashing into the building of Petagon was ever found. The purpose of this all is to unwind the war in Iraq and get access to Iraqian oil. There is also a version that Bin Laden does not exist at all. He is created by FBI just to be blamed for all troubles in US. Ok but that is a different story, but as a true American you should be curious about all that.
Financial turmoil. I would be very gratefull if you could explain me, where does this crisis originate from??? I would not like to dwell on this again and again. Please refer to the newspaper articles and special literature that explains the reasons of the present economic crisis or at least follow the financial news. I will only give you a slight hint... It all started from the default on the US sub-prime mortgages.
I have also met a lot of different Americans, and many of them are still good friends of mine. You are absolutelly true that Americans don't have a clue of what happens in Russia, but I'll tell you they don't know what happens in the world, morover they don't realize what happens in US. They are not worried about it? ) They simply don't care.
Oh yeah, it is 7 years, not 10. :)
To Gsamsa and others:I will explain myself on the Jewish question one last time...I have nothing against Russian Jews. All I am saying is that there is a difference between Russians and Russian Jews. Just like Tajiks or Uzbeks who live in Russia are not ethnic Russian and they have their own (cultural) characteristics, so do Jews that live in Russia and abroad have their own characteristics and are not ethnic Russian by nationality - when I say characteristics I do not mean better or worse (If feel like I am talking to children that I even have to explain this!). I know this is hard for Americans to understand, since everyone in America is "American"... I still consider all of them to be Russian citizens or "Россияни" (or those people that live on the Russian land and are Russian citizens), and they are welcome! Our diversity makes us stronger! I am not 100% ethnic Russian myself. Different ethnicities in the U.S also have their own characteristics - you cannot deny that!You write: "Kornilov, you try really dishonestly pretend you are not antisemetic, but yet, looking at your posts, every Russian that criticizes Russia, or you think is bad, or the ones Tir Tairngire described, are "Jews". Meanwhile, those who are mindlessly patriotic like yourself who don't leave Russia are "true Russians"."This is a bunch of bullcrap. I have never implied anything of the kind. I simply pointed out that the vast majority of first tier oligarchs under Yeltsin were Jewish. I am just stating facts and answering a specific question that Hermitter posted to me. This issue has nothing to do with the debate. The point I made about Russian Jews in the U.S - from my experience, having lived there, there is a general Anti-Russian hysteria that permeates their community (I am sure there are others who will confirm this). This is sad. It is just an observation. This does not mean that every Russian Jew in the emigre community is bad. Finally, there are many ethnic Russians who are also very unpatriotic - including in the elites. This is actually a point that the Economist misses, when they talk about the nationalistic attitude in the elites. The sad truth is that a lot of them don't care about Russia at all and are just lining their pockets and are actually unpatriotic. So patriotism on the whole, in a multi-ethnic country doesn't have anything to do with nationality. you wrote:"like people elsewhere, including here in the US, whenever the elected representatives of the people steer their country in the wrong direction, they should have the right to rebel and remove them from power"Ha Ha! When is the last time the American people have removed a president from power after rebellion!?!? LBJ stayed in power irregardless of the million man protests against him.Putin is loved here becasue the standard of living has gone up TEN FOLD under his rule!!! His popularity here is genuine, sa even the economist is forced to admit. His popularity ratings hover at 80%. So what are you talking about? Yeltsin who's rating was 5% should have been removed from power. Yes there are still many poor people in Russia, but you shouldn't believe the official statistics about Russia. Our society has not yet reached the advanced stage of social development of Europe, people still hide their true incomes from the taxman, many salaries or "gray" (only part of them are declared) and some are still even "black" (none of them are declared). So we are definitely not the poorest country in Europe. Have you ever been to Moscow? Yes Yeltsin was a traitor. Gorbachev was not a traitor, he was just an incompetent idiot. TO Yankee doodle - why did you chose to ignore my responce to you about Nuking Poland - it makes too much sense?
A threat isn't a threat anymore if it lacks the will to realization. This is the case according to Russia's desolate point of view, which would be comparable to Clausewitz's definition of war.(War is merely a continuation of politics.)But I don't think it's legitimate referring to nukes, since the damage by nukes is too huge.
GSamsa, well ok, there is some sense in what you have written about my country, but only part of it. Americans are brought up and taught that Russia is an evil and people that live in Russia are bad (they are poor, thaey hate Jews, they drink vodka and they are as clever as a brick) Well that's enough mate, you only see what you want to see and you belive it is true! Moreover you air your wrong views to the others here shielding it by the freedom of thought and speech.
If Russia is the poorest so why is the whole Europe so dependant on us? Concerning our allies, Iran for instance, now tell me why can't they have nuclear weapon? Iraq was another evil for the US and what? Did you find any weapons of mass distruction there? No, you only found another source of oil that US were so keenly looking for. Why doesn't US mind its own business??? What is the purpose of placing the missile shield in Poland and Check Republic? US caused the world financial and economic crisis it's debt is higher than the dept of Russia and you tell us that Russia is a poor country? Russia is becoming stronger - that is what you americants refuse to accept! I wouldn't like to comment the issue of Jews, cause I find it already nationalistic. Live and let live. But if you critisise Russia please look at your own country and think it over. You know what is the most sad thing in that? US will always be Russias antipole no matter who sits in the president's chair.
kuzmich wrote: "Yankkee Doodle, ... Do you believe in that stuff on nuking Poland? ..."No, I doubt that Russia will really nuke Poland. Why does Russia threaten to nuke Poland? Is this threat really the fault of the United States?
To Tir Tairngire:Almost all "Russian" immigrants in the U.S are actually Jewish. When I lived in the U.S, I found it pretty hilarious when Americans would tell me about the local "Russians". Plus most of the immigrants are ones that couldn't make it back home. Just like you shouldn't judge all Cubans by the wave of Cubans who came over to the U.S in the 70s, you shouldn't judge all Russians by those that emigrated (especially when they are of a different nationality!)
