Hi, I'm using vpnc which it is working just fine. However every time I connect to the vpn server resolv.conf is "overridden" with new information returned by the current DHCP server. I'd need to keep the DNS configuration I had for eth0 while still accepting the new DNS config for the tun0 interface. This way I'll be able to access resources from both ends by their names because even I can access them by IP I'd need to keep using their names. Does anyone knows how can this be achieved?
I'd say that every interface should keep the configuration.
Thanks for your help!
As per what I've investigated, within Unix/linux systems we just have one DNS configuration (resolv.conf) at a time and this is the way it works. As a workaround we may have two options:
1 - use hosts file to statically map the names we need and cannot be resolved by the current DNS server. This is a well known, quick and simple solution if we just have few resources to map.
2 - the second solution would be to install and configure a local name server to forward request to the desired name servers based on customized rules. After that, avoid the resolv.conf file to be overridden and setup the local name server as the name resolver.
If anyone else is aware of any other way to do it please let me know.

International Fashion Award Received, Students to Show Work at China's
Fashion Week
The Kent State University School of Fashion Design and Merchandising announces that School Director J.R. Campbell and Associate Professor of Fashion Design Vincent Quevedo were collaboratively awarded the "International Artist of the Year" award at the 2010 Fashion Art Biennale in Seoul, South Korea, for their piece "DMZ," which stands for demilitarized zone.
The winning piece is made up of two knit dresses on dress forms connected by a large section of fabric printed with optical illusion imagery. The middle section has vents and tubes sewn into it, incorporating photos taken from a military submarine's control panel.
"The piece is meant to invoke a somewhat voyeuristic response to investigating the tubes, which mimics the Western hemisphere's cultural response to the DMZ between North and South Korea," Campbell said.
Campbell and Quevedo collaboratively conceived of, designed and created the piece, down to the fabric. Campbell graphically designed the cotton jersey knit fabric and digitally printed it in the school's TechStyleLAB.
Campbell attended the Biennale as one of only four American speakers at the week-long event. The event drew 104 artists from 17 nations and included a symposium of various speakers, performances and the main exhibition on the theme of Fashion Art - War/Peace, which was in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.
The event was held during the G-20 Summit that took place in Seoul last month. The Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors was established in 1999 to bring together representatives from important industrialized and developing economies to discuss issues key to the global economy. Attendees of the summit visited the event and enjoyed the art and performances.
One very positive outcome of Campbell and Quevedo's participation was an invitation extended to the university's fashion school by the Chinese government to send 10 Kent State fashion design students to show their work during China's Fashion Week in March 2011 in Beijing. The chosen students will enjoy an all-expense paid trip and the opportunity to feature their designs before an international audience. Students will be chosen during a competitive process by Campbell and the faculty of Kent State's School of Fashion Design and Merchandising.
The School of Fashion School and Merchandising at Kent State is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and is also recognized as one of the top fashion schools in the United States. The school provides a comprehensive American university experience, a forward-looking and rigorous curriculum in fashion, an aggressive approach to the use of digital technologies, and access to a broad range of international and study away experiences.

Christian Dorflinger Decanter:
I have a beautiful Christian Dorflinger Decanter with a broken stopper. The stem of the stopper has been broken off probably mid stem. The cut glass ball on top is without injury. I don't have the rest of the broken off stem. I dont think a glass blower could add to the stem. Is there anywhere that could possibly have a big supply of stoppers that I could replace the entire stopper? Or any suggestions how to repair?

From experience, it is very difficult to find a replacement stopper. Your best bet might be to find someone to grind down the remaining stopper, to even it up. From your description of the damage, it seem as it is still long enough to function as a
stopper. Look for someone who repairs and restores glass.
I hope this helps.

I once chipped a Tiffany crystal vase, but I found a good glass restorer who was able to even out the chip and make the lip smooth again. These types of repairs are totally possible. Best of luck.

Bel Cantoby Ann Patchett
2002 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction
Winner of the 2002 Orange Prize
Finalist for the 2001 National Book Critics Circle Award
"There are quite a few improbable aspects to Bel Canto, but the handful of times when I found my head popping above the surface of Patchett's novel to catch a quick lungful of realism — is it really possible that among a group of 57 assorted men there wouldn't be one opera hater or homosexual? — I was promptly sucked back under the surface by the book's bewitching undertow. This is a story of passionate, doomed love; of the glory of art; of the triumph of our shared humanity over the forces that divide us, and a couple of other unbearably cheesy themes, and yet Patchett makes it work, completely." Laura Miller, Salon.com (click here to read the entire Salon.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
The government of a small South American country holds a birthday party for the head of Japan's leading electronics manufacturer, hoping to attract its business. Mr. Hosokawa, they know, can't resist the opportunity of a private performance by the world's leading soprano, Roxanne Coss. But it's not Hosokawa or Coss the terrorists want. The guerrillas who raid the party are after the country's president. Unfortunately, they quickly learn that he skipped the soiree to watch his favorite soap opera. Upon successfully storming the building, the naïve rebels find their kidnapping attempt foiled, and they don't know what to do. As Ann Patchett's new novel opens, fifty-seven men, eighteen terrorists, and one remarkable opera singer begin their new life behind the closed doors of the vice presidential mansion. Inspired by the four-month-long, 1996 Peruvian hostage crisis, Bel Canto "is ninety-eight percent fiction," the author says. Roxane Coss was her idea.
"Soon enough," Patchett writes, "the days were divided into three states: the anticipation of her singing, the pleasure of her singing, and the reflection on her singing." The New Yorker raved, "Patchett's tragicomic novel — a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations — invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics and love. Against this grand backdrop, the smallest gestures bloom with meaning." As Laura Miller concluded in a review for Salon.com, "Patchett makes it work, completely." Dave, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening — until a band of gun-wielding terrorists breaks in through the air-conditioning vents and takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different countries and continents become compatriots.
Without the demands of the world to shape their days, life on the inside becomes more beautiful than anything they had ever known before. At once riveting and impassioned, the narrative becomes a moving exploration of how people communicate when music is the only common language. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion and cannot be stopped.
Ann Patchett has written a novel that is as lyrical and profound as it is unforgettable. Bel Canto engenders in the reader the very passion for art and the language of music that its characters discover. As a reader, you find yourself fervently wanting this captivity to continue forever, even though you know that real life waits on the other side of the garden wall. Bel Canto is a virtuoso performance by one of our best and most important writers. It is a novel to be cherished.
"Patchett creates a remarkably compelling chronicle of a multinational group of the rich and powerful held hostage for months....Readers may intellectually reject the author's willingness to embrace the terrorists' humanity, but only the hardest heart will not succumb....Brilliant." Kirkus Reviews
"Ann Patchett's latest novel sneaks up so stealthily on the reader that before you know it, you've already skipped a meal or missed your meeting....The power and majesty of music, the power and acceptability of good writing. It's all there in Ann Patchett's Bel Canto." John Valentine, Independent Online
"Let me put this plainly: Ann Patchett has written the best book I've read in a long, long time. Bel Canto is a masterpiece true to its title, a beautiful song, a broad, bold entirely original love story destined to become an international classic. This is the book we all wait for, the one we thrust into the hands of friends, saying, 'You've got to read this! You've got to read this now!'" A. Manette Ansay, author of Midnight Champagne
"Patchett's tragicomic novel — a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations — invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love. Against this grand backdrop, the smallest gestures bloom with meaning." The New Yorker
"[An] elegantly alluring book....Although this novel is entirely housebound, at the vice presidential mansion, Ms. Patchett works wonders to avoid any sense of claustrophobia and keeps the place fresh at every turn." Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Blissfully Romantic….A strange, terrific, spellcasting story." — San Francisco Chronicle
"Bel Canto…should be on the list of every literate music lover. The story is riveting, the participants breathe and feel and are alive, and throughout this elegantly-told novel, music pours forth so splendidly that the reader hears it and is overwhelmed by its beauty." —Lloyd Moss, WXQR
"Glorious." —The New Yorker
Ann Pratchetts award winning, New York Times bestselling Bel Canto balances themes of love and crisis as disparate characters learn that music is their only common language. As in Patchetts other novels, including Truth & Beauty and The Magicians Assistant, the authors lyrical prose and lucid imagination make Bel Canto a captivating story of strength and frailty, love and imprisonment, and an inspiring tale of transcendent romance.
About the Author
Ann Patchett is the author of six novels, including Bel Canto (winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize), and the nonfiction bestsellers What now? and Truth & Beauty. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she is co-owner of Parnassus Books.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. The article is being written from front page stories that appeared during each year in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
The first five years of the new century were quite eventful in Carbon County.
In July 2000 an explosion at the Willow Creek Mine in the Castle Gate area ended the lives of two miners, and also ended the usefulness of a mine that only opened just a couple of years earlier. The methane-hydrocarbon ignition took place on the night of July 31. Both men had been employed at the mine for less than six months. After that day, the mine never really reopened for operations again because of the gas problems.
It was in 2000 that the idea of removing lockers from Mont Harmon Junior High was first mentioned, too. At the time it was very controversial because many parents and students wondered how they would survive without lockers in the halls. The fight went on for a number of years, but finally the lockers were removed and students go to school there without lockers today.
A crime spree that started in Daggett County ended in the Price area a few days later. On the afternoon of Oct. 21, 2001 Daggett County officials found two deer hunters murdered and based on leads they sent out an immediate statewide attempt to locate on one of the dead men's pickup truck.
At approximately 9:21 p.m. that night Helper Police Officer Kent Allred spotted a suspicious vehicle matching the missing pickup's description traveling on U.S. Highway 6. He attempted to stop the vehicle at 10th North near Martin, but the occupants allegedly refused to comply with the command and Allred radioed for backup assistance.
Carbon County Sheriff's Deputy Tom Stefanoff responded and the two patrol cars trailed the pickup toward Price. Shortly before arriving at the west Price exit, the suspect vehicle picked up speed and a pursuit ensued. The officers had sent word of the pursuit so Price police officers put spikes across the highway. When the fleeing pickup hit the spikes the suspects fired shots at the pursuing patrol cars. One bullet struck the Helper patrol vehicle in the front hood area, but no officers incurred injuries in connection with the armed incident. The spike-disabled pickup continued along U.S. 6 for almost a mile, then slid off the roadway into a field near Creekview Elementary and the Price city domes. The careening pickup truck created a cloud of dust, concealing the suspects while the pair exited the pickup and fled east into field.
Carbon County law enforcement agencies cordoned off U.S. 6, the city streets in south Price and State Road 10 while authorities searched the surrounding neighborhoods on foot for the murder suspects. The manhunt culminated when law enforcement personnel apprehended Lewis and Michael Heffelfinger at an irrigation pump house near the east Price interchange two days later. During that time the community was on the alert for the men who had been spotted by a couple of residents during the two days. The pair were later convicted of the murder of the two hunters.
Long suffering residents of eastern Utah also finally got their case on Highway 6 heard in 2001 when Readers Digest named the highway one of the 10 most dangerous in the nation in 2001. Along with protests to the governor and legislative pressure, the highway began to attract money from the legislature to make it safer. Still many died in the first five years of the century. Even today the highway takes a toll each year, although at a lower rate, as work on it continues on the road to make it safer.
The year of 2001 will always always be remembered for the 9-11, and even though it was a national event, that took place in far away places, the local population was affected quite deeply by the events in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. For weeks after, the community grieved for the lost souls and could only imagine how it would change the world as they knew it.
A year and a half later that attack would be brought home even more as the 1457th National Guard unit from Price, was sent away to training in Washington State and then dispatched a few months later to Iraq. At the time no one knew for sure when they would be coming home. They were expected home sometime in the spring of 2004, but then in an emotional session at the armory, relatives were told that it would still take longer for their loved ones to return home, maybe up to an extra six months. But within two months good news arrived and the National Guardsman were home. They suffered no casualties while in the field.
In 2002 the Olympic Torch passed through Carbon County on its way to Salt Lake City for the Olympics. A number of locals got to hold the torch and a few even got to run with it.
The year also brought a near disaster when at about 7:45 a.m. on July 31, a large crane lifting beams to be fitted for the skeleton of the new administration building at the College of Eastern Utah tipped over and crashed across the site. The construction equipment landed on 400 North between 400 and 500 East, blocking the road and taking down utility lines. Only one injury was reported in connection with the incident. The incident brought national attention to the area.
High School state championships and near championships were plentiful during the first five years of the new millennium. In 2000 the Carbon High football team did something no team since 1951 had done, they made it to the state quarterfinals. Led by the quarterback play of Brady Martinez and the strong play of Carson Pollastro, Ryan Avery, Dan Mower, Kenny Gressman, Dominic Lewis and Jan Jorgensen, the team disposed of Union High 38-7 in a playoff game to get a trip to St. George to face Snow Canyon.
Unfortunately the biggest winning season since the mid-20th century (and up until 2011) came to an end on a warm southern Utah November afternoon as the Warriors took away the state championship dreams by beating the Dinos 46-27.
But many in that same group of athletes who lost out on that state dream were able to recover and come back in the spring of 2001 and take 3A baseball championship, the first state championship the school had won since 1997 when the girls basketball team won it all and the first for the boys in any sport since the baseball team won it all in 1952.
Ironically, they played the game on a field in St. George, this time on a warm May evening, and they faced many of the same athletes that had taken them out of the state football championship race the fall before. This time the outcome was different as the powerful Dinos downed Snow Canyon 7-6. That night the team came into Price triumphant, escorted by police cars and fire trucks blowing their horns as they drove from the south end of town into the Carbon High parking lot where a huge crowd greeted them.
It had been so long since such a celebration of a championship had taken place in the area that people around town flooded Carbon County dispatch with calls wondering about what was going on and if they were in danger because of the all the emergency vehicles and sirens that were sounding.
The next school year, in January of 2002, the Carbon High diving team was able to take a "true" state championship. Diving is a sport in which there are no divisions, all schools regardless of size compete equally. The teams big stars were Kimberly Snook, Mikeleen Loveless and Derek Potter.
But the big school year of pure championships came in 2004-2005. In that year Carbon's volley ball team took the 3A state championship, and in February they took the state high school basketball championship as well. And again that spring the boys of the school won the state high school 3A baseball championship.
The volleyball win came at the expense of a nemesis in the form of Morgan High that had dominated the sport for a decade and who had beaten the Lady Dinos time and time again. Players like Monica Shorts, Jamie King and Morgan Warburton, who was named the MVP of the tournament, finally brought home the crown. That winter, many of the same girls that had played on the volleyball team entered the state basketball tournament with a 19-1 record and a number one ranking in the state. And once again, in the final game, it was Morgan that was in the way. But another Morgan, Warburton it was, showed the Lady Dinos victory as they raced to a hard fought 64-54 win. Warburton was also named MVP of the state basketball tournament.
The baseball team once again finished their season in St. George, this time beating Pineview High School 10-3 for the 3A crown. Players on that team that were instrumental in the win included Joe Via, Cameron Oliver, Chris Hanson, Nick Nielsen, Tyler Nelson, Chris Hatch, Dustin Howa and Mike Zaccaria.
Price City was also given an award that recognized it as the best city in Utah under 10,000 population in 2004. The town was cited for everything from its infrastructure to its recreation and beauty.
The glory of winning championships at Carbon High School in 2004 and 2005 were displaced by dismay and unhappiness in another part of the county when it was announced in the late winter of 2005 that East Carbon High School would close its doors that spring. A series of public meetings were held that winter concerning the fate of both Helper Junior High and East Carbon. Finally the Carbon School Board voted 3-2 in April to close the east county school.
That spring the final senior class launched blue and white balloons into the air as they walked out of the building after the final graduation was held in the building. The school that was built in 1959, with such high expectations with the support of a corporate sponsor was no more. The building would be demolished within a year. Nearly in its footprint would rise Bruin Point Elementary, which operates as the only Carbon School District facility in the community today.

What I Learned Today, Episode 1
What I Learned Today, Episode 1: Conformity and Personality
Here is a rough first draft of an audio podcast I attempted to start a few months back entitled, "What I Learned Today." This podcast was intended to be my reading and commenting on selections of books and internet links which demonstrated something new I learned. This first clunky and unedited audio (sorry about all the repetition and gaps) is a collection of items I found in a Psychology textbook (cited in the podcast) that I stumbled across at a thrift store. The articles deal with experiments conducted in social conformity. Are opinions and behaviors dependent on surroundings and peers? Thoughts?

Children from the child development program at the College of Eastern Utah play on the campus of the college during fall quarter 1974.
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. The article is being written from front page stories that appeared during each year in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
As 1974 progressed it became evident that labor troubles in the coal industry were ahead. In early August the UMWA president stated that if union miners didn't get sick leave as part of their contracts there would be no contract. Later, beginning on August 19, the union also closed down all mines for five days as they took a "memorial" period that had been negotiated during contract talks in 1971.
The memorial period was officially to remember (and there were events associated with the work stoppage) the "many thousands of our brothers who died in mine disasters and of occupational diseases." November brought a general strike when the present union contract with all but two of local mines expired on Nov. 12. Negotiations seemed to go well and the issues seemed resolved over the next three weeks, but on Dec. 1 only four of the 12 local elections approved the contract the way it had been negotiated. However, nationally, the union members approved the contract with 55 percent of them voting yes. Altogether the mines had been idled by the strike for about four weeks.
Water was a big problem in the area in 1974. A severe drought was striking the area and cities were in fear that they could actually run out of water. Price City made moves to get residents to conserve water, not only because of the drought, but also because of just short supplies within their own system. At times during the summer of 1974, the Sun Advocate reported that the water tanks on Wood Hill became dangerously low.
At the time Price was planning a new pipeline to bring more water into the city. In early September the paper ran a story about a meeting of ranchers and stockmen who met with Senator Frank Moss and representatives of the Department of Agriculture concerning disaster relief for agriculture in the eastern part of the state because of the drought. The reports from the agri residents ran from no water in any ponds to feed not being available because there wasn't enough water to grow crops.
In October, Utah Power and Light held an open house at the partially completed Huntington Power Plant. At the time one unit was in operation and the company wanted people to see how the plant was built and how it was being operated. Today, a fixture in the area, the plant was unique being located part way up Huntington Canyon with its own reservoir (Electric Lake) to help supply water to the plant. Coal did not have to be shipped to the plant because the Deer Creek Mine was less than two miles away and the coal was shipped to the plant via conveyor belts. The dedication that took place on Sept. 30 was attended by 450 civic and business leaders from around the state.
Late September brought an unusual high speed chase to the area. Two men, one from California and the other from Wisconsin, had teamed up and stole a Porsche in Colorado. While on I-70 going west they were pulled over by a Utah Highway Patrolman who clocked them going 90 in a 55 mph zone. When the trooper found the car had not registration, he suspected theft, and took one of the men into his patrol car and told the other man to drive back to Green River as he followed. But the man kept stopping saying the car was giving him trouble and the trooper told him to lock it up and come to the patrol car.
The driver's partner in the car put a choke hold on the trooper and the troopers gun went off shattering the windshield of the cruiser. The two stuck the trooper in his car and when another car came along they held the occupants at gun point while they ran the state vehicle off the embankment and tore out the two way radio. They then drove off west in the Porsche. The trooper was released by another passer by and went to Green River and reported the incident.
Meanwhile the pair got to Fremont Junction and tore north on Highway 10 toward Price with speeds of 100 miles per hour. They actually avoided road spikes and made it into Price turning on 100 South and doing speeds of 80 miles per hour. They ended up in a wash northeast of town and ran off on foot. Despite large numbers of law enforcement personnel looking for them they had not been found by dark.
But hunger and lack of sleep got to them and they came out of the desert and checked into the Mission Motel. The police were alerted that two men fitting the description of the fugitives were there and they were arrested.
In another bizarre story two Moab men were kidnapped after a man walked into a mortuary owned by one of them and forced them to withdraw money from their bank accounts. He then brought them to Price, had them rent a car, and tied them up in a motel room with rope and tape he had them purchase at Skaggs Drug. He then left them until one man was able to get loose and contact police. But with six hours lead the man had got away by then. However a few days later the man was arrested in Portland, Ore, when he went to a hospital for arm and chest pains. A felon from previous crimes that were committed, his name sparked the interest of the hospital and then police which matched his fingerprints with evidence from crimes committed in Utah.
