Designing a load-balancer based on OS load
This is my first post after two years. Have been in an accident recently and had some spare time to think while taking rest for a month.
"Do we really consider OS load in the load-balancers?" I asked myself one-day while drowsy. There are myriad number of load-balancers which balance network traffic at various layers of TCP/IP. Some are TCP based, some IP, some can load-balance at application level like HTTP etc. But, most of them revolve around network latency etc. and almost none checks for OS load to schedule traffic to a particular node.
"Why?" probably because it is less cumbersome to keep track of the metrics that determine or influence load-balancer's scheduler. But, what's the harm in trying to make a tool which can really load-balance traffic based on the OS load metrics like memory usage, CPU usage, io-wait time, etc. "No harm at all" I replied to my own question (yes, I am talking to myself now-a-days after the head-eye injury during accident). So let's start building a tool which can efficiently provide a "score card" to every node in the cluster and schedule traffic based on who has got a better score. As simple as that!
As a result, I started a project at GitHub, named
Every node in the cluster will have an agent running at a frequency depending upon the overall load of the cluster. The agent deducts (initial score is 100) scores the node based on available resources like CPU wait time, load-average, available RAM, swapiness etc. These can be tunable by predefining thresholds like 20% of the total CPU time is acceptible as a normal wait time for a particular node. The better the score is, the lower the load on that particular node. There is a plan to keep heuristics as well, to make the scoring process a bit smarter over the time by manipulating the thresholds automatically.
After the agent assigns a score to a particular node, it sends that score (along with the trend data, but probably less frequently) over to the load balancer through QPID (v0.30) messaging in JSON format
The load-balancer keeps a queue of all the nodes reverse-sorted based on their scores, i.e the node with highest score will be put in front of the queue and will be scheduled for the next connection, in case this node does not respond, next node in the queue will be considered.
Load-balancer will also keep track of a "participation-score" i.e how many times a particular node has been selected by the load-balancer. The lowest scorers will be reported by the load-balancer along with the different resource-limit/load data pin-pointing the reason why that node was not selected so frequently, thus giving a hint to the sysadmins on the bottlenecks
I have not yet started working on the load-balancer side, nor have I thought of a way to actually switch traffic to the nodes, well not yet. But then there are so many projects going on in that area and I can probably get inspired by one of them or just simply use my tool as an add-on to "influence" their scheduler policies.
So folks, if you are a Python devops/sysops guy and have some ideas to share with me or participate in the project, please drop a comment here, and we can catch up at GitHub.
Lets code it!!!

What's that /boot/initramfs file?
Have you ever wondered how kernel mounts the root "/" filesystem? When I was learning Linux and Unix a few years ago, this question used to haunt me. Why? In order to load a filesystem, kernel needs to have the filesystem module loaded into memory. You can achieve this in two ways, either you compile in the filesystem module code along with the kernel i.e statically link it. Or, you can load the module dynamically when needed. The problem arises there. How is it possible for the Linux kernel to load many kernel modules even before mounting the root filesystem? (If you see dmesg, "mounting root filesystem" message appears towards the end). FYI, kernel modules are usuaally stored in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ directory.
To solve this problem, Linux uses initram filesystem. Grub boot loader takes "initrd" argument along with the location of the iniramfs file. Grub has enough knowledge of the filesystems enabling it to find kernel, initramfs and config files from the /boot filesystem. But it does not yet support LVM or software RAID. That's why you don't get to see /boot partition on an LVM or software RAID.
Anyway, so grub takes the initramfs file, uncompresses it, and lays it out on the memory. Initraamfs contains enough modules and binaries to load the root filesystem modules. When control passes to the kernel, it sees the initramfs filesystem as it's root file system. It then executes /init (yes, it's not a typo) script on initramfs, which loads the modules required for mounting the root filesystem i.e modules for LVM/software RAID, filesystem. Once the root filesystem is mounted, the script chroots to it and the control is passed on to the /sbin/init program. From then onwards, you all know what happens.
Are you not feeling excited enough to see the contects of the initramfs filesystem? Yes, you can see the contents of it. Just execute the following commands:
mkdir /tmp/init
cp /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img /tmp/init/initramfs.gz
gunzip /tmp/init/initramfs.gz
cd /tmp/init
cpio -iv </tmp/init/initramfs
And explore the miniature root filesystem!! :)

How to create external Journal device in Linux with EXT4
Among you, who have worked on AIX, must be smiling and thinking "Is this really something to write about on a blog?". Well, it's true for AIX, as external Journal device is an old story there. On the other hand, I have seen very few or close to none usage of external journal device in production Linux systems.
People who do not know what a Journaling filesystem is, this should be comprehensive enough: The whole idea of Journaling filesystem is to keep a write-ahead data of all the filesystem changes. In this way, creating/deleting/modifying a file becomes a transaction. Remember atomicity of transaction in DBMS? All or None law? The same idea works here. So in case if some thing goes wrong, the filesystem can always roll back to the last known good state. However, all awesome things come with a cost. Here the cost you pay is the filesystem write performance: anytime you want to write data to a file, the filesystem will write to the journal first and then it will write the actual data.
Here's why you might want to have an external journal device for your ext4 file system:
1. You are avoiding corruption in the journal data itself by keeping it somewhere else than the original data
2. As in journaling, filesystem writes data twice, keeping a separate journal device i.e a partition or logical volume on a separate physical disk altogether will introduce a significant performance boost
There's a downside though: You cannot have multiple EXT4 filesystems sharing the same journal device as of now (AIX folks have probably started laughing now).
So how do you actually create a external journal device? Here's how:
mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/block_device_name
While creating a new filesystem, you can easily point to the newly created journal device like this:
mke2fs -t ext4 -J device=/dev/journal_device_name /dev/block_device_for_new_fs
To change journaling from internal to external for an existing filesystem, first unmount the filesystem. Then, execute the following:
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/blk_dev_for_existing_fs
tune2fs -o journal_dev -j -J device=/dev/device_name
There are few things to remember though:
The size of the journal device should be at least 1024*block size of the file system. So a filesystem with 4kb block size should have a journal device of 4mb at least.
Block size of the journal device should be set to the same as that of the actual filesystem
You can gain around 40% performance boost with external journal device (provided, the journal device resides on a separate physical disk). Amazing huh?

Turbo charge your web servers using Squid HTTP Intercept mode
Now, this is not of course something new. But, I thought of sharing basic configurations of Squid proxy caching server to cache web requests. There are of course a lot more you can do with Squid, one of them is load balancing web servers. One thing to remember though, if your web content is dynamic i.e contains stuffs that change over a short time, you may not gain that much performance boost. Also, this does not wok with Secure HTTP i.e HTTPS as it was designed to avoid Man In the Middle attacks.
So here it is:
eth0: 172.16.1.11/24 => client facing interface
eth1: 10.0.1.11/24 => web server facing client
1. Install Squid
yum install squid
2. Before we start the service we have to do few changes in the config mode to tun on the intercept mode. Open the /etc/squid/squid.conf file
http_port 3128 intercept
It listens on tcp port 3128 and enables the intercept mode specifically designed to facilitate web traffic.
3. Next, we have to set the cache directory and it's size
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid 90 16 256
aufs is better Advanced UNIX file system mode and is better than the ufs mode in terms of file operations. Or else, you may specify diskd mode too which is almost similar but runs as a separate daemon and requires a litlle bit extra fine tuning. 90 MB is the size of the cache. 16 i the number of directories in the cache dir and 256 is the number of the directories under each directory. You may double the numbers depending on the load of the web server.
To have maximum performance, I have mounted /var/spool/squid as tmpfs to keep all of its contents in memory rather than on hard disk
My /etc/fstab has an entry like this
tmpfs /var/spool/squid tmpfs size=100m,rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t:s0" 0 0
4. Set the cache memory size to be used
cache_mem 50 MB
Squid is intelligent enough to decide which content should go to cache memory and what should be kept in the cache disk.
5. Next, you have to set your router to route traffic for the web server to the squid server so that the web queries can take advantage of squid. I used my squid server as the router as well (this is called taking most out of it ;)).
So here are the iptables settings I had to do
A. Enable routing:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 >>/etc/sysctl.conf
B. To avoid looping, we have to tell iptables to accept any port 80 traffic which came from our squid server's IP
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 10.0.1.11/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Then, redirect any traffic for port 80 to localhost tcp port 3128 (which is squid server)
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:3128
While sending out web traffic to the web server, pose as if we are the client
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
Enable forwarding
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
6. Start the squid service now
service squid start
7. Now, we have to point our clients and the web server to the squid server as default gateway and test the network connectiong using traceroute and ping commands.
Everything should be fine now and all web queries should go through squid.

OpenLDAP + NFS + Automount = Complete Identity Solution
Well, we have lots of identity solutions these days. They are ready to be in use out-of-the-box with very little configuration changes. But having said that, be it MS Windows Active Directory, Red Hat Directory Server, or IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, all are based on rock-solid LDAP protocol. Still, I have seen people using OpenLDAP in Open Source projects as well as critical commercial environments.
I thought of setting up my own OpenLDAP server for my home lab, just for fun as well as to have more in-depth knowledge about it. As always, I felt sharing the knowledge I gained and the issues that I came across.
I am using RHEL 6.2 on both the server and clients.
Setting up the server:
1. Install the required packages
yum install openldap*
cd /etc/openldap/slapd.d
find ./ -type f | xargs grep "dc=my-domain,dc=com"
This will usually point to ./cn=config/olcDatabase={2}bdb.ldif file
Open that file and change the domain name with yours in vi
3. Change the domain admin's user name from Manager to root to look like this
olcRootDN: cn=root,dc=vmnet,dc=com
4. Press CTRL+Z while in vi to stop the process and run slappasswd to set a new password for the domain admin, root in this case
5. Copy the password string and type 'fg' to get the vi session resumed. Make a new line after olcRootDN directive and put a line like this with the password
olcRootPW: {SSHA}wIEjnTE+CU6U1KsU5pGdcmEyqZ/jTsbt
6. At this point, you may check if the configs are fine by running the following command
slaptest -u
-u is to ignore warnings for database files, no issues now as we are yet to create them
7. Now, we need to install migrationtools package to migrate exiting users/groups etc. database to LDAP
yum install migrationtools -y
8. cd to /usr/share/migrationtools/ and edit the follwing lines in the migrate_common.ph file to reflect correct domain name
# Default DNS domain
$DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN = "vmnet.com";
# Default base
$DEFAULT_BASE = "dc=vmnet,dc=com";
9. Run the migrate_all_offline.sh script to build LDAP DBs out of local users, groups etc.
10. Now, change the owner of the newly created files in /var/lib/ldap directory
chown -R ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/*
11. Start the slapd service
service slapd start
chkconfig slapd on --level 35
12. Open up LDAP port 389 both TCP and UDP on iptables
iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT
13. At this point, you should be able to see the objects in the LDAP domain using slapcat command
Setting up the client
1. Install the following packages
yum install pam_ldap nss-pam-ldapd -y
2. Run authconfig-tui and select LDAP for User Information and Authentication and select NEXT. You have to then provide FQDN for your LDAP server and domain name in the Base DN field.
Adding/removing/modifying LDAP objects
If you are not familiar with the ldif file format, use slapcat or migrate_passwd.pl script in /usr/share/migrationtools directory to get one example.
Then you may execute one of the following:
ldapadd -a -W -D "cn=root,dc=vmnet,dc=com" </tmp/testuser.ldif
Or else, you may install phpLDAPadmin to administer the LDAP server through web
yum httpd php php-ldap
Getting user's home directory automatically mounted on client
It's better to create a separate home diretory for the ldap users. /home/users => this is what I chose
Share this through nfs server
/home/users 10.0.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_wdelay)
Now, on the client side, configure autofs:
1. In the /etc/auto.master file, you may add the following
/home/users /etc/auto.home
2. Create /etc/auto.home file and add the follwing
* -fstype=nfs red.vmnet.com:/home/users/&
3. Create /home/users directory
In this approach, there will not be any clash between a local user and an LDAP user logged in on the same client machine as they will have separate home directories. Otherwise, a local user would lose access to their home directory once an LDAP user's home directory got automounted on /home.
Now, you are highly likely run into permission issue on the user's home directories if you have not already configured how IDs should match. /etc/idmapd.conf on the client machine is something you need to concentrate on.
This file must be edited for the below directives/options
Domain = vmnet.com
LDAP_server = red.vmnet.com
LDAP_base = dc=vmnet,dc=com
Now, restart the rpcidmapd service
service restart rpcidmapd
You may ask the users to setup ssh-keys and they will be able to log in to any LDAP clients
That's about it!!

Centralized logging system: rsyslog, logstash, Elasticsearch & kibana
So I have been a little bit busy with this voluntary work I do in my free time. I am associated with Wikimedia Foundation as a volunteer IT staff. People are very much open and helpful there.
Few months back, I was browsing through their ongoing projects hoping someone would need help in something which I can contribute to. As I was new to their community, things were half clear to me. I needed work on a project which would make me understand their infrastructure and it should be simple enough for me. Of course, I did not want to dive into the most complicated project and then sitting idle, looking at other people's scribbles on IRC.
One day I stumbled upon an interesting project. Its objective was to build a centralized logging system with good search capability. Although they use Nagios for alerting, if someone needed to dive search through logs, they had to log into that particular server and they do a little grep or egrep against the logs. I thought this would be a perfect project for me. I would get to know about the surrounding, plus it's relatively simple to setup something like this.
I was added to the project and I was the only one member. Sweet!!
So I first started with some open source products for experimenting various things. Few did just fine, few did not scale at all. At last I found a perfect combination: Logstash, Elasticsearch, and Kibana.
Logstash is very useful and versatile. It's made of JRuby (Java+Ruby). You can specify inputs and outputs as well as filters. It supports various input types. One of them is "Linux Syslog". Which means, you do not have to install logging agent on every server increasing the overall load of the server. Your default rsyslog client will do just fine. Then comes the filtering part, after taking input, you can filter out logs within Logstash itself. It's awesome but it didn't serve any purpose for me as I wanted to index every log. Next is the output part, Logstash can output logs on standard output (why would anyone want that). But as with input, it supports multiple output types too. One of them is Elasticsearch.
Elasticsearch is a Java based log indexer. You can search through Elasticsearch indices using Lucene search syntax for more complicated query. But, simple wildcard search works too.
Next comes Kibana. It provides the web frontend for Elasticsearch, written on Java Script and PHP, requires only one line to be edited for this to work out off the box.
As of now, I have configured all of them on one relatively larger lab VM. There were several hitches in the beginning, but apart from that it all went pretty smooth.
So here's what is happening:
I had to make a little init script too for these services (logstash and elasticsearch). It's based on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, but should work on CentOS/RedHat as well with a little bit modification.
Here's the script:
#! /bin/sh
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
logstash_bin="/usr/bin/java -- -jar /logstash/logstash.jar"
NICE_LEVEL="-n 19"
# This is needed by ElasticSearch
export ES_HOME="/logstash/elasticsearch"
# sets max. open files limit to 65000
# otherwise, elasticsearch throws java.io.IOException: Too many open files
ulimit -n 65000
start () {
command_es="/usr/bin/nice ${NICE_LEVEL} /logstash/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch"
#command_ls="/usr/bin/nice ${NICE_LEVEL} ${logstash_bin} agent -f ${logstash_conf} -- web --backend elasticsearch:///?local --log ${logstash_log}"
command_ls="/usr/bin/nice ${NICE_LEVEL} ${logstash_bin} agent -f ${logstash_conf} --log ${logstash_log}"
log_daemon_msg "Starting" "elasticsearch"
if start-stop-daemon --start -d "/logstash/elasticsearch" --quiet --oknodo -b --exec ${command_es}; then
log_end_msg 0
# I had to do this as -p option with elasticsearch gives wrong PID
# The same with --pidfile option with start-stop-daemon
sleep 1 # takes a little bit of time before getting caught by below
# don't why I chose to grep for "sigar"; maybe it looks like cigar
ps -elf | grep [e]lasticsearch | grep sigar | awk '{ print $4 }' >${es_pid_file}
log_end_msg 1
log_daemon_msg "Starting" "logstash"
if start-stop-daemon --start -d "/logstash/" --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "$ls_pid_file" -b -m --exec ${command_ls}; then
log_end_msg 0
log_end_msg 1
stop () {
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "$ls_pid_file"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "/var/run/elasticsearch.pid"
status () {
status_of_proc -p $ls_pid_file "" "$name"
status_of_proc -p ${ws_pid_file} "" "elasticsearch"
case $1 in
if status; then exit 0; fi
status && exit 0 || exit $?
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 1
exit 0
The system is in the testing phase. We need to check how it scales for 2000+ servers, maybe we have to think about load-balancing too. But as of now, it really does a great job regarding memory consumption, disk space, processing power, etc.
Once the whole system gets ready to go live for production servers, I would definitely publish more detailed technical stuffs. Crossing my fingers!!

This is my code (within and Activity) to try and trigger it:

It is not executing the statement.
I think that is because I access the Database through Content_Providers.
I read this related question and here is mine:
How do I close all open handles to the database? Please post an example, it will be very much appreciated.

What is keeping you from switching to Linux?
I'd like to make time for switching my main system but it is not there yet. What I plan to do is however use Linux on my laptop and get used to it this way. While it will take longer than a radical switch, it is the best I can do right now. Eventually though, I'd like to run all but one system on Linux and not Windows.

5 Surprising Reasons Behind The GNOME Resurgence
When the team behind GNOME came out with GNOME 3, which included the infamous GNOME Shell, the most popular desktop environment of the time saw a sharp decrease in users. And honestly, that trend is pretty easy to explain. When GNOME 3 initially came out, it was incomplete, buggy, and foreign. The concepts behind GNOME Shell were never before seen on a desktop system, and lots of users who were used to panels/taskbars and menus didn't like the rather dramatic changes.
What will it take to merge LibreOffice and OpenOffice?
Ordinarily, I'm all for diversity in free software projects. However, I make an exception in the case of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. The sooner they become a single project, the better. In other cases, I'm slow to accept arguments against duplication of projects. Combining projects does not automatically make for greater efficiency or quicker development; especially in the beginning, personalities can sabotage or even reverse any gains.

Your favourite garden centre in the Calgary area?
Hi everyone,
As I am starting my gardening life in Calgary, I am exploring the different garden centres in the area. So far, I have visited the following:
1. Sunnyside - it is close to where I live, has a large selection of perennials and things, but the prices seem to be outrageous! Is it just me, or does anyone else find that too? For instance, a 2 gallon pot of Pinky Winky hydrangea would cost you $36.99 there!!! WOW!
2. Spruce-It-Up - nice selection of caliper trees and shrubs! The prices seem reasonable too.
3. Greengate - smaller selection of trees, but nice selection of perennials. Price seems OK.
Which are the other garden centres that I should visit, and what are your favourite ones and why?
Also try Golden Acre, Greengate, Blue Grass and Cobblestone for the big ones. Cobblestone is on the other of the city for you though and I find their quality of plants shockingly poor.
I would've heartily recommended Edward's but they seem to have gone out of business :(
Cochrane has Anything Grows. If you don't want a warranty then shrubs and trees are 35% off.
Smaller places are Garden Retreat (best selection of seeds and veggie plants in town) and Plantation (inner city, but they always have some interesting perennials).
Yes, Sunnyside can be very expensive. Everything goes 50% off though around the last week of August - first week of September (never an exact date, they move it around each year to keep people guessing).
shazam, thank you for the information. This is very useful indeed!
Anything Grows sounds good - I think that as long as I select the right hardy plants, I should not need any warranty, right!? Well, I could be wrong.... but 35% off sounds good!
I really like those Proven Winners flowering shrubs like those hydrangea paniculatas that they have. Which nursery or garden centre would have a big selection of these please?
I would love to check out these places, esp. Plantation, as I am not too far away from them and I like to find interesting perennials too!
BTW, do you think that the local big box stores, e.g. Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, carry a decent selection of shrubs and perennials?
Thank you again.
Costco has really good prices on their shrubs...the garden center is only open for a short time and their selection is limited, but all the plants I've ever bought from them has survived. My Pinky Winky hydrangea was from there and I paid less than $20 for it (in a 2-3 gal pot).
Costco is good but has a limited selection and they close up quite early.
The CT near where you live is okay but the garden centre there is quite small. The CT near Southcentre is their biggest in the city and they take care of their stuff. Prices are quite good too. CT Dalhousie is also very good but that might be a hike for you.
I don't really like HD because they carry far too much out of zone plants, but if you know exactly what you need they're not bad. The Macleod Trail one next to Chinook Centre takes care of their stuff all season. They do bring in awesome specials throughout the season - they had lilies for around a $1/pot a couple years ago, for instance.
Costco and Sobey's have the best ready-to-show hanging baskets for the big box stores.
Walmart has a very good selection of roses for $10. They go super duper quick though. They bring in at least three shipments in.
RCSS is also another good place to buy stuff. Also they have a great selection of pots at a reasonable price.
Golden Acre should have a good selection of hydrangeas for you, along with a one year warranty.
Forgot to mention, Sunnyside gives a two year warranty on plants now so I suspect that's what accounts for their really high prices these days. Also I think they still have a guarantee on annuals and perennials for the current season.
Justjoey, thank you - I think I am going to get the trees from Spruce It Up!
shazam - thank you very much for the great tips. In fact, I followed your advice and went to Canadian Tire at Dalhousie today (not too far from my work place) this evening - guess what? I really scored big time! LOL! I got a couple of 5 gallon Quick Fire for about $28 each!!! I was SO HAPPY! The plants looked very healthy and already had buds. I also got a 2 gallon Coppertina Ninebark but that was not on sale.
Mind you, I was a bit sickened by how poorly treated most of the plants were at Canadian Tire. Many of them were bone dry and drooping! I was mad....
I need to visit the CT near Southcentre to see what they have! Now I really want a 5 gallon Blacklace Sambucus - it's my favourite shrub and I really want one here so badly....
I thought I would chime in to give my $0.02 about the Black lace elderberry you mentioned. I bought that shrub a few years back and it only lasted through one winter. Luckily I had bought it from Sunnyside where I was able to get my money back with their 2 year guarantee. I'm not sure if others have had better experience with this plant in Calgary but it might be a shrub worth buying from a place that gives a guarantee!
They are beautiful though...
groggyfrog, thank you for your input! Did you plant the Black Lace Sambucus in any area that might be more protected at all? Or was it in a more exposed area?
I really miss my lace leaf Japanese maple so I really want to have this shrub as a "substitute" for my Japanese maple!!! :-)
Yeah, that elderberry was all the rage a few years ago. It proved not hardy for many of us on the prairies. I think your best best would be a dark-leafed ninebark or something like it. I would love to be able to grow a Japanese maple here! The Canadian Tire here brought in Japanese maples and porcelain vine one year...I wonder how that went.
Just a note for buying roses at places like Walmart. They are, more often than not, mislabeled. It's a good deal if you aren't particularly fussy about getting the exact cultivar. $10 beats over $30 at the nursery if you aren't fussy.
When buying hostas at the big box stores, be aware of the hosta virus (HVX) that is quite often apparent in their stock. It is a fatal disease of hostas and will spread through infected sap to your healthy hostas (through garden tools, etc). Look up images on the internet so you know what to avoid.
Ostrich, I had the Black Lace planted in a somewhat protected area - it was located quite close to my house.
I remember hearing or reading somewhere that even if you do get that shrub to overwinter our zone, it will still die back to the ground.
I do love my ninebarks though. There are several dark ones that would be a nice substitute, as already mentioned. I've had better luck with the darker-leafed ninebarks than the chartreuse-leafed ones as well.
Donna, thank you for the tips. I tend to buy the more "reliable" stuff from the big box stores, and I usually go to independent garden centres for roses and things. Talking about Japanese Maples, I actually saw a beautiful lace leaf Japanese Maple at Golden Acre a couple of days ago. It was big and full and beautiful... and only selling for $149.99!!! Something like this would have sold for over $300 where I was before in the States! Can I overwinter it here???? Just kidding.....
Shazam!!! Look what you have done! I went to the Canadian Tire on Southland and MaCleod Trail today - it's a wonderful garden centre there! They really took care of their plants and then there was a great selection too. Anyway, I got a Pinky Winky in a 5 gallon pot for $28 there too! I think the 25% off sale for these 5 gallon shrubs end today. Then I went to another Canadian Tire and they just opened up a crate full of 2 gallon shrubs. I found 3 very full and healthy looking Incrediball there! So I just could not resist the temptation and got 3. Somehow, everywhere else I went, the Incrediball's all looked terrible. So I just had to get these nice and healthy ones!
groggyfrog, I have grown ninebarks too - while they are nice, they are nowhere near as nice as the Sambucus BlackLace! Just my opinion... I guess I will try it this year. If it does not come back, then at least I have tried.... sigh!
Thanks again everyone.
shazam, thanks for the tip about bugbane! I had never considered it before, so this is great to know. I will watch out for it!
I was also looking at those hydrangea standards too - I was wondering if I should get one but then I was worrying that it would not look as good if some branches actually die back after winter. And it's pretty expensive too... oh well, let me rationalize why I didn't get one! LOL
BTW, I went after work, and the traffic was BAD. Now I remembered why I didn't want to live in the beautiful southern Calgary...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose for a fifth day during a holiday-shortened, thinly traded session on Friday as investors picked up recently beaten-down shares of large technology companies.
Market participants were also encouraged by signs of progress in talks about releasing aid to debt-saddled Greece and piled into U.S. retail shares as Black Friday got the holiday shopping season under way.
U.S. stock market trading ended early and was closed on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Volume was the lightest of the year, though the session was abbreviated. Shares of big-cap technology companies climbed as investors took advantage of the day's upward momentum to add to positions, helping the S&P 500 rack up its second best week of 2012.
"Anyone that was on the sidelines waiting for a pullback like the one we just had in some of the tech names, they're looking for any glimpse of strong price action for 'permission' to enter into those (stocks)," said Todd Salamone, director of research at Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati, Ohio
Microsoft (MSFT.O) helped lift the Nasdaq, gaining 2.8 percent to $27.70, while Apple Inc (AAPL.O) rose 1.7 percent to
From mid-September to mid-November, the S&P tech sector .GSPT shed about 13 percent as the broader market also dropped.
Research in Motion RIMM.O surged on optimism about its soon-to-be-launched BlackBerry 10 devices that will vie against Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone and Android-based smartphones. RIM was up 13.6 percent at $11.66.
Greece said the International Monetary Fund had relaxed its debt-cutting target for the country, suggesting lenders were closer to a deal for a vital aid tranche to be paid. But other sources involved in the talks cautioned the funding gap was far bigger than Greece has suggested.
Euro zone finance ministers, the IMF and European Central Bank (ECB) failed earlier this week to agree on how to shrivel the country's debt to a sustainable level and will have a third attempt at resolving the issue on Monday.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI gained 172.79 points, or 1.35 percent, to 13,009.68. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX rose 18.12 points, or 1.30 percent, to 1,409.15. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 40.30 points, or 1.38 percent, to 2,966.85.
The S&P 500 broke a two-week losing streak to rise 3.6 percent. Stocks had tumbled earlier in the month on worries about the impact of tax and spending changes set to take effect from January, but hopes that politicians will reach a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff helped the market recoup some of those declines this week.
The Dow and S&P 500 both closed above key technical levels for the first time since Nov 6, which could provide additional support. The Dow ended above 13,000, while the S&P broke above 1,400.
The Dow rose 3.3 percent for the week, while the Nasdaq jumped 4 percent. The Nasdaq had ended lower for the previous six weeks in a row.
Volume was about 2.8 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with the year-to-date average daily closing volume of over 6 billion.
Advancers outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by 2,407 to 469 on the New York Stock Exchange. On the Nasdaq, advancers had the lead, with 1,775 stocks gaining and 548 shares declining.
The retail sector rose as investors looked for signs of how much consumers are spending as stores lured shoppers with Black Friday deals and discounts.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, kicks off the U.S. Christmas shopping season for retailers and is often the busiest shopping day of the year. The National Retail Federation expects sales during the holiday season to grow 4.1 percent this year compared with last year's 5.6 percent increase.
If the traffic and sales numbers look strong early on, "it usually gives a sense that the season will be in line with expectations," said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama.
"The way that could work against a stronger retail season is if there's no follow-through, there could be discounting on the part of retailers."
Wal-Mart (WMT.N) rose 1.9 percent to $70.20, while Target (TGT.N) gained 1.2 percent to $64.48.

Inquiring mini owners want to know, will 1/2 fiber/resin mix that is popular in most gov buildings able to stand a shot from a mini 6.8 Barnes TTSX 110 gr bullet! The fiber material is 1/2 thick 6x6 in square. Stay tuned for some weekend fun!!!

My guess is that it will not stand up to the test. It sounds too rigid, you would need to layer it with maybe spandex in-between each layer. I would think maybe 3 layers with 5 layers of silk or 3 layers of spandex between each layer of fiber board that might work.
don't forget the tannerite, tri!
i still haven't shot any of that stuff...hard to believe they sell it at academy now.
are you gonna post pics of your barrier penetration attempts? will you try it with the 5.56? i always heard the 5.56 is more powerful from a mini than an AR....
"the results of shooting random stuff with a mini shooting challenge"...hmmmm...may have to re-phrase that, but it has potential, tri!
here's a little melon i popped at the range once. why not?
I have 4 pcs to play with, I'll try a Barnes MPG 55 gr with my mini 14 also. More pics and video to follow!
I may see how it stands up to 1/2 of tannerite too!
I can't imagine that round not going through that........what is it? Building sheathing? Looks expensive for that purpose......
This was a fun test, 1 panel 1/2" thick will stop the follow;
40 S&W 155 gr ball ammo
44 Mag 5/6 shots 240 gr HP
45 ACP 200 gr HP
12 GA tactical slug
12 GA Hunting slug
All shot from 10 ft away
Also stopped a 55 gr Combined Tech in 223
1 panel 1/2" will not stop the following;
223 Barnes 55 gr MPG
6.8 SPC 110 gr Vmax
6.8 SPC 110 gr Barnes TTSX
243 87 gr Vmax
So onto 1" panels that will stop the following;
223 55 gr MPG
243 87 gr Vmax
6.8 110 gr Vmax
6.8 110 gr TTSX
308 168 gr Noslet BT
All shot at 45 yds away, feel free to veiw my YouTube channel for results of this day many other mini 14 test.
The only thing that penatrated the 1" panels was the 223 SS109 with a steel core. http://m.youtube.com/#/user/triross
HOLY CRAP! I never woulda guessed!
Curious Tri, was the 1 inch piece a solid piece or two 1/2 inch pieces stuck together? I'm wondering if like woven armor the first half inch would be penetrated and the second would stop it.
How expensive is that stuff? And where do you get it? I could see putting that stuff on the back of a headboard to a child's bed. You know, to stop a bullet from hitting them in their sleep in the event of a home invasion.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Should Hacked Companies Disclose Their Losses? 68
from the what-did-you-lose? dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If they have an obligation to report losses by fire, storm, vandalism, or theft in meatspace, they should have the same obligations regarding over-the-net attacks.
Businesses don't report these tings to their customers or account holders or even their shareholders. They report these things to the police and their insurance companies in the hope of recovering from their losses. Even then, they are not obligated to do so, it is simply the most logical and prudent action.
So, I guess your answer to the question of; Should Hacked Companies Disclose Their Losses? your answer is no.
By law, US companies don't have to say a word about hacker attacks, regardless of how much it might've cost their bottom line
That claim is only true in a narrow and impractical sense. Several US states have mandatory data-breach reporting laws [ncsl.org]. A company doing business in those states, generally meaning buying or selling to/from persons or companies in those states, must comply with those laws. Generally they require notifying customers whose personal data is at risk. I have received two such letters myself since my state's law went into effect.
IANAL but really I don't think it takes a lawyer to be aware of these laws. Anyone who is informed about computer security should at least know of their existence, as should any IT manager employed in those states.
If that break-in has a material affect on their financials, yes, they do.
The impact is the bar here. If that break-in resulted in someone pilfering a vault with the firm's operating capital, then it needs to be reported on the form.
If they stole a lamp in the front office, no.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.

What Microsoft won't tell you is the dial pad doesn't work to make selections for extentions on switchboards under Android. This means all your calls to companies, institutions, government etc are defunct and requires paying extra for by using your usual cell phone SIM. Unless they have manned switchboards.
There's no information on this at all when signing up. Since the dial pad works for dialling a phone number, and the marketing is "make cheap online calls to phones" you only have two weeks to discover this and cancel your subscription.
In a one hour "support" call, where they do not up front ask for OS, device, version of Skype, etc, suggesting immature support, I was finally told that "oh, the dial pad doesn't work in Android. Never has." In the call it was blamed on Skype just recently having been acquired by Microsoft. Er, that was three years ago.
Some further investigation shows that this problem went unattended on Windows7 for a whole year 2011-2012, although Microsoft Skype now claims it's been addressed both for Windows and on Macs.
No official plans exist to address this, nor are there any replies by Skype on the forum.
So, Skype is ripe for picking unless Julie Larson-Green takes action.

Are you a patient of Mark Petroff, MD?
Reviews (5)
5 out of 5 stars Rhinoplasty
Finally Did It! - Lake Oswego, OR
If you are in the Portland area and considering Rhinoplasty, Dr. Petroff and his staff are literally the best around. Everyone, from when you walk in the door until you leave, is so nice and courteous. And Dr. Petroff clearly knows what he is doing.
3 out of 5 stars Rhinoplasty
Long-lasting Resultswere Better Than I Could Have Imagined - Portland, OR
He isn't the warmest person in the world, but at the end of the day, I want a doctor who is confident and competent - and Dr. Petroff is both of those. I go to other doctors for injectables (because they're cheaper), but Dr. Petroff is the only person I would trust with a scalpel on my face.
5 out of 5 stars Facelift
Deep Plane Face Lift - Oregon
Dr. Petroff is good & knows what he's doing. I was looking for results and he provided that for me. Yes, his bedside manner could have been better, but I was looking for the outcome. He doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but gets right down to it ( what else can you expect from a surgeon). He's not touchy freely, but knows his stuff. When I'm ready for a second face lift in 10 to 15 years, I hope he's still around to do my second facelift.
4 out of 5 stars Liposuction
Submental Lipectomy - Portland
Very happy with my surgeon. Very relaxd atomosphere and answered all my questions. I can see myself going back in a few years.

THEATRICAL REVIEW: Cinderella (2015)
Directed by: Kenneth Branagh
Produced by: Simon Kinberg, David Barron, Allison Shearmur
Screenplay by: Chris Weitz
Edited by: Martin Walsh
Cinematography by: Haris Zambarloukos
Music by: Patrick Doyle
Starring: Lily James, Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett, Stellan Skarsgård, Nonso Anozie, Sophie McShera, Holliday Grainger, Derek Jacobi, Helena Bonham Carter, Hayley Atwell, Eloise Webb
Based on Cendrillon by Charles Perrault and the 1950 Walt Disney Pictures film
Year: 2015
I am admirer of the work put out by Disney, despite not always admiring the company itself. Their penchant for retelling the same stories time and time again admittedly gets old, and their recent attempts to remake and retell their animated films in live action, complete without songs, did not sit well with me. This isn't the first time they've done this – they did the same thing back in the '90s when they did live action versions of The Jungle Book and the briefly franchised 101 Dalmatians and its sequel, the obviously named 102 Dalmatians, which… at least they got Glenn Close to come back? Anyway, I was not particularly looking forward to Cinderella – a retelling of a tired story which, to be quite honest, provided us with one of Disney's lesser animated films back in the day – especially after the massive disappointment that was the atrocious Maleficent last year seemingly proved this whole thing was just one big cash grab, motivated by the money Tim Burton's also-atrocious Alice in Wonderland made. When the trailers came out, the ones with actual actors and not just a spinning glass slipper, I didn't even like the look of the film. So, no, I was not looking forward to the new and needless Cinderella, 2015 edition. Read more…
THEATRICAL REVIEW: Chappie
Directed by: Neill Blomkamp
Produced by: Simon Kinberg
Screenplay by: Neill Blomkamp, Terri Tatchell
Edited by: Julian Clarke
Cinematography by: Trent Opaloch
Music by: Hans Zimmer
Starring: Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Watkin Tudor Jones ("Ninja"), Yolandi Visser, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Sigourney Weaver, Hugh Jackman, Brandon Auret
Based on the 2003 short film Tetra Vaal by Neill Blomkamp
Year: 2015
Oh man. Chappie… I was so hoping this would be good. I absolutely love District 9 and think it's still one of the best, most original sci-fi films in recent history, and I was thrilled that it was nominated for Best Picture, regardless of whether it was only because they had expanded the selection size. Neill Blomkamp's follow-up, Elysium, wasn't anywhere near as good, and its moralizing was clumsy as hell, but it was definitely an interesting and mostly entertaining film that also looked very nice. Chappie was an opportunity for Blomkamp to look at what worked and didn't work from both films and deliver something truly special. Blomkamp himself even recognized the fact that Elysium was a step in the wrong direction in a refreshingly candid interview with Uproxx, wherein he points out "it was all resting on a somewhat not totally formed skeletal system, so the script just wasn't there; the story wasn't fully there." That's awesome, and all, but man… What happened, then, with Chappie?! Read more…
REVIEW: DuckTales: The Movie – Treasure of the Lost Lamp
Directed by: Bob Hathcock
Produced by: Bob Hathcock, Jean-Pierre Quenet
Screenplay by: Alan Burnett
Edited by: Charles King
Music by: David Newman
Starring: Alan Young, Rip Taylor, Christopher Lloyd, Russi Taylor, Richard Libertini, Terrence McGovern, Joan Gerber, Chuck McCann, June Foray
Based on the TV series DuckTales and Uncle Scrooge comics created by Carl Barks
Year: 1990
Yeah, if you grew up watching this series, there's a pretty good chance that the theme song is playing in your head right now – it's certainly playing in mine as I write this. It's practically obligatory at this point to mention it anytime the show is brought up – and I'm certain we'll see it brought up again more and more thanks to the recent announcement from Disney that they would be reviving the show for Disney XD, likely due to the success of the remastered DuckTales video game and the ensuing renewed interest in the property. It's certainly why I chose to review this movie, which just so happened to have been in my collection, thanks to the Disney Movie Rewards program, which was, up until recently, the only way to get it.

2014 IN REVIEW: My Top Films of the Year
I saw so many movies this year, I honestly couldn't pick the best movie. The selection was so wide because I saw so many, I honestly couldn't pit movies I just enjoyed versus films I admired. So, this year, I've decided to do something different — I separated them into genres. it's not exactly what you might expect – Guardians of the Galaxy isn't in sci-fi, for instance, because it's much more of an adventure film in space.
I've ordered these based on gut instinct overall, however, and so you'll be able to see what I (currently) favored over others. That being said, however, all of these movies are fantastic.
I'm tired of explaining things, honestly. The process of doing the year in review this year was a lot longer than I intended. So, yeah. You know the drill. Read below! Read more…
2014 IN REVIEW: The Worst Movies of the Year
This 2014 in Review series is taking me a lot longer than I anticipated, but such is life and work. After this, we'll be getting to my favorite films of the year, but before I do that, it's time to pass judgment on some of the worst films released in 2014.
These are the movies that bored me, that angered me, that were so bad they left me bewildered as to how they even got released in the state they're in. For your reference, this year I have also included the Rotten Tomatoes score for each movie. While I cannot say that the order I've placed them in is definitive, even for me, they are arranged roughly from worse to worst, ending with my pick for the #1 worst film of the year. I have more picks for 2014 than I ever have in the past, but it was a pretty easy and obvious pick, though some of you might be thinking of the movie I put in the #2 slot. I have my reasons why it went there and not at the top, but you'll just have to read to find out.
2014 IN REVIEW: Everything in Between That I've Seen
Finally, we come to the films that I actually did see! As with the films I didn't see, these films will come at you in three parts: the films that were just somewhere in the middle in terms of quality, the films I greatly disliked, and the films I really enjoyed.
I use those qualitative terms just to avoid confusion over what I'm ranking here. The films in this section range from generally bad to generally quite good, but never elevating to excellence or making me fall in love with them or making me hate them with a passion. That being said, I didn't expect to like some of the films here as much as I ended up liking them, and, of course, I was letdown by others I actually was kind of looking forward to.
If you don't see the movie here and didn't see it in the list of films I didn't see, then you can almost certainly be guaranteed to find them on one of my next two lists, as this is just a portion of the 121 total films I ended up seeing from 2014 as of this writing, whether in theatres, on DVD/Blu-Ray, or through streaming. Read more…
2014 IN REVIEW: The Films I Didn't See (September – December)
I'm not going to waste too much time this year on introductions. For this third and final part of my review of films I didn't see, we're going through the prestige Oscar-baiting season. You know — hammy acting, controversial subjects, beautiful cinematography, politics… It's often a mixed bag, and for every stunning masterpiece, there's often a lot of films that misstep and come off like a cheap cheeseburger dressed up to look like prime rib. … I'm hungry.
This is by far the biggest portion of films I didn't see, largely due to a lot of them coming out so much more recently and not being available to rent, if I missed them in theatres.
Yes, 2014 may have been a record year for me seeing the most movies from that year, but there were still movies I never got around to or never even had the ability to see due to either foreign or limited release. I still like going over them, however, as this process often leads to me finding some unexpected gems that I might enjoy. Some of these I might become so interested in that I see them before I even get to the films I did see, so there is actually a possibility you might see these films reappear in this 2014 in Review series if that becomes the case.
Anyway, here are many of the films from September to December 2014 that I didn't see, for one reason or another. It's by no means complete, but that's what you get when you're using Wikipedia and Best of/Worst of lists from other sites. Read more…

I was told that I have to backup my EFS so that if anything goes bad e.g. Losing my IMEI, i can recover them. Please teach me how to backup and restore it surely and safely. Thank you very much!

So how hardy is this salvia. Has anyone overwintered it in the mid Atlantic region, say zone 6 or 7. They showed up at a sale table over the weekend, and since the price was right I bought five. Secondly, is it really a guarantica? The tage listed it as such, but I recall somewhere else seeing it just listed under its name, indicating it may be a hybrid.
It's a hybrid between guarantica and gesneraeflora so I don't think it's as hardy as regular guaranitica. It gets taller than the regular guaranitica and it has never wintered over for me but neither has any guaranitica. The hummers love it. Sarah
I have grown it for years now. The first year I had it, I lost it. I made the mistake of cutting it back in the fall. I mulch heavily right before frost and so far it has come back every year for the past 7 years. The color is great but the stems are a bit on the fragile side and it flops easily. I always take one pot into the greenhouse before frost "just in case." Trina
Thanks Trina. That makes me think I should take a cutting now, rather than wait until September. I've been using your general NO-CUT rule for Black & Blue for years, and so far so good. The only difference in your method is the heavy mulch before frost - I've always waited until after. You given me something to consider.

I am a donor & client of FixNation. They have help us control the exponential grown of the feral colony at my workplace. It has been in-check for four years now!
With the traps FixNation has loaned to us, we have had 14 cats and kittens fixed for FREE and released at my workplace. We've even been able to find homes for a couple of abandoned tames, because they were fixed (for a very low cost) and had a clean bill of health from the dedicated staff at FixNation.
FixNation doesn't just "fix" cats, they help stop coyote attacks in residential and urban areas by keeping cat populations down. This keeps cats and predators safe. It also helps preserve bird, lizard, and rodent life- all vital to a healthy environment!
These folks are great! Please consider making a donation to them today!
