Reba brought along a film crew to a recent show at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, Louisiana to capture the hits, the energy, and the production of her live show. The footage was turned into All the Women I Am, a 90-minute concert special that will premiere on GAC March 17 at 10/9 CT.
"I'm thrilled to be partnering with GAC for this special," Reba said. "We had a blast out on the road with our new production this past fall, and I hope that all the fans who tune in enjoy it as much as we did."
Reba's last televised concert special aired more than 15 years ago. GAC is proud to bring this concert experience into fans' living rooms, giving them a front row seat to one of country music's biggest superstars. "GAC is honored that Reba came to GAC to share her first TV special since the mid-90s with our viewers," Suzanne Gordon, GAC VP of Programming said.
Jon Small served as producer on the project. He has worked with Reba since the mid-'80s, producing and directing more than 18 music videos for her. "When Reba steps into the batter's box, I know what I'm going to get," Jon said. "She's the best female singer and the most professional artist, she's got it all. Even after 27 years of working together, I still get so excited just watching her perform."
Some of the songs in the show's set list include "Is There Life Out There," "I'm A Survivor," "Turn on Your Radio," "Strange," "Somebody's Chelsea," "All The Women I Am," and "Does He Love You," featuring The Band Perry's Kimberly Perry, along with several more of her signature hits.

Checking out the Central Connecticut Region AACA's 36th Annual
Antique Car Show in Glastonbury, CT, Sunday, June 13th, 2010
(this page new as of 1/15/2011)

Gazing at Glastonbury Greats!
I made a mention in another recent recent feature page I had put together for the SAAC web site about the fact that I had been up to the Central Connecticut Region AACAs big annual antique car show in Glastonbury earlier in the day, the same day as the Jaguar Clubs Middlefield Concours (the date for both being Sunday, June 13th, 2010).
At the time, back in mid-June of 2010, I was starting to get a little worried that I would not be able to get out to enough car events in order to be able to hand out all of the mass quantities of Time Machines 2010 flyers that Fred from the T-Bird club had given me, and so I knew that if I could get up there, the Glastonbury event would be an excellent opportunity not only to hand out TM2010 flyers, but ALSO take in a top-notch old car meet!
The Central CT Region of AACA (http://www.cenconnaaca.org/) had officially been promoting this event as their 36th Annual Antique Car Show, and featuring a judged show and flea market (how many actual judged car show s in CT can you think of?there arent many!). And the event was again to be held at the spacious and modern office park that is very easy to get to, right off of the highway (first exit right after you cross the Putnam Bridge on CT Route 3, on the east side of the CT River, of course); the flea market is set up directly adjacent to the car show field also. I was also able to put an SAAC business card ad in this and also the previous year (2009) Central CT Region show booklets, so I felt a little bit of additional motivation to make it out there, at least for a little while.
I got to Glastonbury around the early afternoon, so it wasnt long before the awards were to be starting up. I was very pleased to run into our long-time old car friends Bill Silvestri and Greg MattesenBill had his gorgeous black 63 Sunroof Bug in the show, and Greg had his super-kool brown 54 Ford Pickup also in the show (in the image immediately below, that's Greg sitting, and Bill standing, and Greg's kool '54 Ford center; the image below that features Bill's outstanding '63 VW).
Going through my pictures to choose some to use for this page, I also recognized a couple of superb firetrucks owned by folks who we featured in another recent SAAC web site feature page, Checking out great Antique Firetrucks at the Mount Saint John Fall Festival, Saturday, 10/16/2010, DeepRiver, CT, that got rolled-out on 12/28/2010 (viewable at: http://home.comcast.net/~shorelinesteve/MSJDpRvr10/Firetrucks.html); namely, there was John Kuzminskis Pascoag 1971 Maxim Snorkel (below left), and the Winslow 47 Ford Pumper of Judd Tierney (below right)both machines were looking fine indeed.
I also recognized a couple of outstanding Shoreline-based vintage Mopars, including the 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer of Phil Borgia (background), and the 1961 Chrysler Newport Wagon of John Cote (foreground).
Another vehicle that caught my eye (and my camera's lens) was the fantastic black 1969 Plymouth Barracuda of Joe Amenta. I have seen & admired this car at many local CT-area car shows over the years and even though I have never met the owner, I was able to do some online research and find out a few interesting facts about it. From a "Granby News" feature that was published in April of 2010 it was learned that this particular '69 'Cuda is a "Formula S" 2-door Sports Fastback model with Deluxe Decor interior and Super Commando 383 engine, rated at 330hp. The transmission is a 3-speed torqueflite. And would you believe that Mr. Amenta is also the original owner! Testifying to its rarity, there were reportedly only 272 Fastback 383 Automatic Barracudas produced! Joe drives this fantastic Mopar to many shows in and around our area, and the next time you see it, I would urge you to spend some time checking it out!
Beyond the above-listed particular vehicles, I dont have too much more detailed subject info to go along with the images featured below on this page, but I hope you enjoy viewing them, and that perhaps they help to convey what a wonderful gathering of classy old cars and trucks that took place that day in Glastonbury!
To further flesh out the nature of this event, I also took some time to browse the Central CT Regions web site, and found this descriptive paragraph specifically about the Annual Car Show, which I am happy to include here:
Our big event each year is our car show, which is generally held in June. We usually get approximately 300 show cars, trucks, motorcycles and fire engines, plus parts and food vendors. Our show is popular in that is a judged show, with three trophies in each of 22 classes. Our members are the judges and we hold a judging clinic before the meet and new members are generally assigned to judge with experienced members on the day of the show. After the show, we have a pizza party. The car show nets us money to hold future shows, fund some of our other events and allows us to make donations to various non-profit organizations. Some of the groups that we have contributed to in the past (voted on by the membership) include: AACA Library, American School for the Deaf, Childrens Home of Cromwell, Glastonbury Police Dept.-DARE Program, Glastonbury Police Explorers, MADD, Salvation Army, Shriners Children Burn Hospital, UCONN Childrens Fund, Klingberg Family Centers, and the Jimmy Fund. We try to donate a portion of our funds locally
Our hats are off to the good people of the Central Connecticut Region AACA for working hard to organize and run this outstanding and very long-running old car meet, which benefits so many very worthy causes!
From a browse of the Central CT Regions online-viewable January 2011 newsletter, The Distributor (http://cenconnaaca.org/Distributor/2011%20Jan%20Distributor.pdf), it appears that their 37th Annual Antique Auto Show & Flea Market will be taking place on Sunday, June 12, 2011, so mark that one downand Ill also be adding it to our Calendar next chance I get
More Central CT Region AACA 36th Annual Antique Auto Show 2010 Images...
IMAGES BELOW: Upon entering the Central CT Region's Antique Auto Show as spectator, one walks down a long driveway off of the main road (spectator parking is in another office complex parking area across the main road from the car show location) toward the show field, and along the edge of thast driveway Central CT Region member vehicles are displayed (but are not part of the judged car show). The two images immediately below I believe feature all Region member vehicles...
IMAGES BELOW: And now on to more views of cars in the main (judged) portion of the Central CT Region's 2010 Antique Auto Show...
IMAGES BELOW: There were a few outstanding imports mixed in here and there, within this wonderful gathering of antique automobiles and trucks. The image immediately below features a superb Volvo P1800 sports car (foreground) next to a Triumph and an MG... In the image below that, I have a special appreciation for the clean Savannah Beige '69 VW Beetle Sedan (same color as my former '68 Beetle) featuring "Euro" amber-top tail light lenses, that is sitting next to a very rare bird: an AMC Hurst SC/Rambler from the late '60s (was '69 the only year for these?), in its patriotic red, white & blue color scheme...
IMAGE BELOW: ...And a few hot-rodder-type vehicles too, along the way, such as this radical V-8 powered Chevy Vega from the early/mid '70s. I can see this this one was the "notchback" body style (non-hatchback, in other words). Vega was GM's competitor to the Ford Pinto and the AMC Gremlin, in what was then called the "subcompact" class. Very few Vegas survive to this day. I can imagine what kind of performance one may get from stuffing a V-8 engine into this lightweight automobile--yow!
IMAGES BELOW: Soon it was awards time, and lines of award-winning autombiles began lining up, to be able to drive up to the main tent to accept their well-deserved trophies, with narration over the PA system, allowing spectators to identify the car makes & models, and also the car owners' names.
IMAGE BELOW: All-too-soon, the beautiful antique autos fired up their engines and began to drive off in their separate ways. Here is one more look back at a super-clean basic black Ford as it was about to make the left turn out of the show field, to proceed down the long driveway toward the main road...
Hope you 've enjoyed our look back at the Central CT Region's 36th Annual Antique Auto Show! See you back there in '11!

Source: UCLA to Fire Howland; School Denies Firing (UPDATED)
PHILADELPHIA — Ben Howland will be fired as the head coach of UCLA, with an official announcement coming possibly as early as Sunday, a source with direct knowledge confirmed to SNY.tv.
The news was first reported by Alex Kline of The Recruit Scoop. Citing two sources, Yahoo! Sports later reported that Howland had been informed he was being fired.
"Contrary to multiple media reports this evening, UCLA has not fired men's basketball coach Ben Howland," UCLA Athletics spokesman Nick Ammazzalorso said in a statement.
The SNY.tv source said UCLA was looking to retain assistant coach Korey McCray, who was instrumental in recruiting freshmen Tony Parker and Jordan Adams.
"They don't want them to transfer," the source said.
Freshman wing Shabazz Muhammad is expected to turn pro and will likely be a top-five pick in the NBA Draft, while freshman Kyle Anderson of St. Anthony is undecided about his future, sources told SNY.tv.
Shaka Smart, Brad Stevens, Mark Gottfried, Billy Donovan and Jay Wright are on UCLA's wish list, the source said.
Smart and VCU were eliminated Saturday by Michigan, 78-53.
Earlier Saturday, Pitt announced that coach Jamie Dixon had been extended through 2022-23. A West Hollywood, Calif., native, Dixon has long been linked to openings on the West Coast.
Howland led UCLA to three straight Final Fours from 2006-08, but has been on the hot seat for at least a year.
He was given this year to coach his vaunted freshman class, and did lead the Bruins to the Pac-12 regular-season title. But UCLA was bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by Minnesota, 83-63, on Friday night.
UCLA legend Bill Walton has been a constant vocal critic of Howland, saying last month while calling a UCLA game on ESPN:
"I'm not in charge," Walton said when asked if Howland's time had run out in Westwood. "If I were, things would be different."
Former UCLA great Reggie Miller told SNY.tv this month that Walton's constant on-air criticism of Howland — which we documented in this earlier post — is "huge."
"He's a huge critic, but I mean that's Bill Walton," Miller said. "And he has a right to say that, a guy that's been so big for the UCLA program. He'll understand what it takes. I don't know their relationship, but it's huge when a Bill Walton comes out with those types of comments."

text: London - John Terry admits Wayne Rooney would be the ideal signing for Chelsea if the unsettled Manchester United striker is allowed to quit Old Trafford.VIDEO: Man Utd ad featuring Rooney Rooney sent shockwaves through the football world this week when he revealed he would not extend his stay at United beyond the end of his current contract, which expires at the end of next season. The 24-year-old claimed a lack of assurances over United's ability to improve the squad to ensure they can still compete for major honours was behind his decision to end talks over a new contract. Reports suggest Rooney has also angered United by demanding wages of £50 000 a week after tax and he could even be sold in the January transfer window. Given the spending power of Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, the Premier League champions are one of the few clubs who could afford Rooney and Terry knows a swoop for his England team-mate would improve Carlo Ancelotti's squad. "Wayne is the best young player in the world. I am no different to any other player in saying that," Terry said. "You obviously have to respect Manchester United and Wayne, but who knows what's going to happen. "We've got a great squad of players and he would add to that and strengthen the squad. He is the best player in the world for me." French striker Nicolas Anelka, a team-mate of Terry's at Chelsea, agrees that his club should do everything to sign Rooney - even though he would be a direct rival for his place in the team. "If he wants to come to Chelsea he would be very welcome," Anelka said. "Would I buy him? Of course I would, he's a good player." A meeting between United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and the club's chief executive David Gill was set for Thursday to discuss the best way to resolve the saga.

Acrimony was a British stoner metal band who were active during the 1990s. Releasing their debut album in 1994, they are regarded as the pioneers of stoner metal in the United Kingdom, and an important influence upon the scene.[1][2] Although the band never achieved mainstream success, during their career they received much critical acclaim – they were nominated for the Kerrang! Best Newcomer award and earned top review ratings.[3][4] Acrimony have maintained a cult following in the British metal scene, their records reportedly selling for vast sums as collectors items.[5] Allmusic described their musical style as "typical mid-'90s stoner rock" that "combined Black Sabbath's heavy metal riffery, Hawkwind's space rock excursions, and Blue Cheer's fuzzed-out psychedelic feedback with extreme doses of volume .... particularly reminiscent of desert metal gods Kyuss."
Present day[edit]
Since their split in 2001, Stu O'Hara went on to play guitar in Iron Monkey before the outfit disbanded, then he went on to form the Dukes Of Nothing with other ex-Iron Monkey members and members of Orange Goblin. Lee 'Roy' went on to form Swansea-based crust/trampcore, power violence six-piece Black Eye Riot along with Stu and Dorian. Darren and Mead formed The 9ine and Mead has his own trance project Yeti. As of 2008, Stu, Mead, Darren and Dorian have re-grouped and are currently writing tracks, although they're reported to be "different" to Acrimony. They are currently reformed with the new name Sigiriya. Lee 'Roy' Davies now plays in heavy merchants LIFER.

2 fishermen rescued, 2 more missing-A A +A
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
TWO fishermen were rescued by members of the Pontevedra Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office along the town's coastal area Tuesday morning after they were wounded at sea due to strong waves brought about Typhoon Glenda.
In Himamaylan City, two fishermen were also reported missing after theirthey failed to return home since Monday.
Rescued were Rodgie Sibunga, 32, and Noli Espinosa, 49, both residents of Purok Mabulo, Barangay San Juan, Provincial Disaster Management Team (PDMT) weather forecaster Dave Cuajao said.
He also identified the two missing fishermen as Magbanua brothers Soysoy, 18, and Jun-Jun, 20, both residents of Barangay Suay, Himamaylan City.
Cuajao said the MDRRMO of Pontevedra was informed around 11 a.m. Tuesday that a capsized pump boat was seen along the coastline.
The rescued fishermen were brought to the Pontevedra Health Center and are now in stable condition.
Meanwhile, the Himamaylan City Risk Reduction and Management Office said Mila Magbanua reported to their office her two children went fishing at about 4 a.m. on Monday but failed to return until Tuesday.

Appling County and the City of Baxley has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the County in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices.) This system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized: Severe Weather Events, Drinking water contamination, Utility outage, Evacuation notice & route, Missing person, Fires or Floods, Bomb threat, Hostage situation, Chemical spill and gas leak, and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.

How to buy a property through super
- From: National Features
- January 20, 2013
RESIDENTIAL property is one of the fastest-growing investment assets of self-managed superannuation funds, as Australians combine a love of property with the need to fund their retirement.
During the past four years, residential property owned through self-managed super has jumped 45 per cent to more than $15.5 billion.
Sharemarket losses during the global financial crisis and a familiarity with property have aided the trend, but the biggest driver has been the change to borrowing rules, introduced by the Federal Government five years ago.
The change allows self-managed funds to take out a loan to buy an investment asset. Previously, super funds could not borrow.
Different debt
The debt, however, has to be limited-recourse, says superannuation lawyer Bryce Figot, from DBA Lawyers.
"This means if the super fund defaults on the repayments, the lender can only take the asset that the loan is secured against, even if the value of the property is less than the amount still owing," he says.

New York Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry and defenders Rafa Márquez and Tim Ream were selected to the 2011 MLS All-Star First XI. This is the first MLS All-Star selection for all three players, who will be part of the squad that will face English Premier League champion, Manchester United, in the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Red Bull Arena – the home of the Red Bulls located in Harrison, NJ.
The First XI received the most votes at their respective positions from combined fan voting on three platforms – online at MLSsoccer.com, via text message, and via Twitter. The online and text voting ballot consisted of six players from each club, as chosen by a panel of media members. The First XI is not necessarily the starting lineup. Red Bulls and MLS All-Star coach Hans Backe will select the starters based on player availability and tactical considerations. If First XI selections are unavailable due to injury, international duty or other commitments, Backe will select alternates for the game day roster, but all First XI players are All-Stars. Only the Los Angeles Galaxy had more players selected from one team (4) than New York.
Mexican National Team captain Márquez joined the Red Bulls from FC Barcelona during the 2010 season as a Designated Player. A savvy defender with excellent distribution abilities, Márquez has helped the Red Bulls to a 6-4-10 record, second in the Eastern Conference. He has contributed one assist while starting in nine games this season, missing a significant portion of time due to 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup duty and helping Mexico win the championship. In 2010, Márquez, the captain of the Mexican National Team, chipped in with a goal and an assist in 10 games.
Ream, a finalist for the 2010 Rookie of the Year award, has been a consistent presence on the Red Bulls' back line. He has started and played in 14 of the Red Bulls' 20 games this year. Between April 9, 2011 and May 7, 2011, Ream helped anchor a Red Bulls defense that did not allow a goal in 333 consecutive minutes. Drafted in the second round (18th overall) out of Saint Louis University in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Ream was part of the United States' 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad and has earned seven caps. In 2010, Ream was voted Red Bulls Defender of the Year after leading the league and club in games played (30) and minutes played (2700).

A GreenPrint for Minnesota: State plan for environmental education, third edition | Minnesota Environmental Education Advisory Board
Resource type: Guide
A GreenPrint for Minnesota: State plan for environmental education, third edition www.seek.state.mn.us/greenprint is the state plan for environmental education for 2008-2018. It was developed by the Environmental Education Advisory Board, and supporting staff with input from the environmental education community. GreenPrint, third edition is designed to serve those of you who educate, provide funds, develop programs, support efforts, and set policies that affect environmental education in Minnesota.
Minnesota has a strong history of environmental education and the state plan is an integral part. GreenPrint, third edition and the three state plans before it have all been written to help educators bring their audiences closer to the state goals for environmental education (Minn. Stat. ? 115A.073). Because of the evolving nature of environmental education, GreenPrint, third edition also recommends that environmental educators target their programs and plans toward achieving environmental literacy for all Minnesotans.
The EE community is growing, as is the array of topics being taught. As Minnesotans seek ways to lessen their impacts on the natural world, the educational needs of sustainability topics such as energy efficiency, living locally, organic foods, transportation, green building, and climate change need to be met. The more we teach environmental education based on the understanding of natural and social systems and their interrelationships, the more issues environmental education includes and the more people needed to provide and support education on them.
As you jump into GreenPrint, third edition, whether as a policymaker or an on-the-ground educator, please make good use of the document by marking up the pages with notes, dog-earing corners and highlighting pieces until they glow. No plan, especially one as important as this one, should ever look brand new.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'm a fun, outgoing guy born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I moved to St. Louis from Portland, OR where I was for the last 3 years. While I love my job and what I do, I'm ready for something more...something real. I'm looking for someone to spend time with, have adventures with, or just sit on the couch and watch a movie with.
MO is my 6th state since graduating from college, having moved around a lot for my career in radio. It's been a journey, having lived in such diverse places as Wichita. KS and Las Vegas...those two cities couldn't be more opposite! While its not easy to move around the country, it's given me a chance to do many incredible things and meet celebs and musicians, which is something I never thought I'd get to do growing up in the Midwest.
I would much rather do dinner and a movie than a club and I'm really just looking for someone who I can be myself around. I have a pretty high stress job, so I'm hoping to fine someone I can feel relaxed around and forget about troubles for a while. I love great restaurants, concerts, movies.
My life is kind of a strange dichotomy....On a Monday, I could be sitting on the couch and watch Family guy...but on Tuesday I could be sitting in a dressing room with Lady Gaga...like I said, strange dichotomy.
I love to travel, explore my new city, go to movies and concerts, and just spend a Sunday running around, shopping, eating, playing

VIDEO: Don't forget to 'Twerk Your Turkey' this Thanksgiving
Move over Adam Sandler. The folks at LogoTV have put together their own Thanksgiving song called "Twerk Your Turkey."
Citing that the holiday has a lack of "musical patronage", the creators said they hope the tune "is destined to become the greatest holiday song of all time." Tongue firmly implanted in check, we assume.
The video is complete with an uncooked bird gyrating against a wall. If that wasn't enough, there is pie, corn and various other side dishes to round out the silliness.

Big weekend of archery planned in Stafford this weekend
Posted: May 21, 2014|
STAFFORD Archers are hosting an "Archery Big Weekend" event in the town this weekend.
It takes place at Stafford Cricket and Hockey Club from 10am-2pm on Sunday, May 25, and it's a chance for people to come along and have a go at archery for free.
The Big Weekend was originally established by Archery GB in 2012 as part of efforts to generate greater interest in archery as a pastime.
There will be fun taster sessions for new people to try the sport in a friendly setting on the day.

Ensuring high availability of critical network services like DHCP figures high in the list of priorities for any enterprise. In an environment where clients get their IP addresses and network configuration automatically, uninterrupted network connectivity is dependent on the availability of DHCP service at all times. Let us consider for a moment what high availability of DHCP server is intended for:
- Any authorized computer which connects to the network should be able to obtain its IP address and network configuration from the enterprise DHCP service at all times.
- After obtaining an IP address, a computer shouldbe able to renew its lease and continue using the same IP address so that there is no glitch in connectivity.
Windows Server 2012 DHCP provides a new high availability mechanism addressing these critical aspects. Two DHCP servers can be set up to provide a highly available DHCP service by entering into a failover relationship. A failover relationship has a couple of parameters which govern the behavior of the DHCP servers as they orchestrate the failover. One of them is the mode of the failover operation – I will describe this shortly. The other is the set of scopes that are part of the failover relation. These scopes are set up identically between the two servers when failover is configured. Once set up in this fashion, the DHCP servers replicate the IP address leases and associated client information between them and thereby have up-to-date information of all the clients on the network. So even when one of the servers goes down – either in a planned or in an unplanned manner – the other DHCP server has the required IP address lease data to continue serving the clients.
There are two modes of configuring DHCP failover to cater to the various deployment topologies: Load Balance and Hot Standby. The Load Balance mode is essentially an Active-Active configuration wherein both DHCP servers serve client requests with a configured load distribution percentage. We will look at how the DHCP servers distribute client load in a later post.
The Hot Standby mode results in an Active-Passive configuration. You will be required to designate one of the two DHCP servers as the active server and the other as standby. The standby server is dormant with regard to serving client requests as long as the active server is up. However, the standby server receives all the inbound lease updates from the active DHCP server and keeps its database up to date.
The DHCP servers in a failover relationship can be in different subnets and can even be in different geographical sites.
The support of these two modes enables a wide range of deployment topologies. The most rudimentary one is where two servers in a Load Balance or Hot Standby mode serve a set of subnets which are in the same site.
A slightly more involved deployment where failover is being deployed across two different sites is illustrated in Figure 1. Here, the Hyderabad and the Redmond site each have a local DHCP server servicing clients in that site. To ensure high availability of the DHCP service at both the sites, one can setup two failover relationships in Hot Standby mode. One of the failover relationships will comprise all subnets/scopes at Hyderabad. It will have the local DHCP server as the active server with the DHCP server at Redmond as the standby. The second failover relationship will comprise all subnets/scopes at Redmond. It will have the local DHCP server as the active server and the DHCP server at Hyderabad as the standby.
Figure 1: DHCP Failover Deployed Across Two Sites
This deployment construct of two DHCP servers backing up each other for two different set of scopes via two failover relationships is extensible to more than two sites. One can visualize a ring topology involving multiple sites where a server at each site - in addition to being the active server for the local network – is the standby server for another site. The failover relationships can be set up to form a ring topology through the DHCP servers at different sites.
Hub-and-Spoke is another multi-site deployment topology which lends itself quite well to how organizations are looking to deploy failover. Here, a central DHCP server acts as the standby for multiple active DHCP servers each of which serves a different branch office.
Windows DHCP server has so far met the HA requirement by enabling hosting of the DHCP server on a Windows Failover Cluster or by split scope deployments. These mechanisms have their own disadvantages. The split scope mechanism relies on configuring identical scopes on two DHCP servers and setting up the exclusion ranges in such a fashion that 80% of a subnet's IP range is used for leasing out IP addresses by one of the servers (primary) and remaining 20% by the other server (secondary). The secondary server is often configured to respond to clients with a slightly delayed response so that clients use IP addresses from the primary server whenever it is available. Split scope deployments suffer from two problems. IPv4 subnets often run at utilization rates above 80%. In such subnets, split scope deployment is not effective given the low free pool of IP addresses available. The other issue with split scope is the lack of IP address continuity for clients in case of an outage of the primary server. Since the IP address given out by the primary DHCP server would be in the exclusion range of the secondary server, the client will not be able to renew the lease on the current IP address and will need to obtain a new IP address lease from the secondary server. In the case of split scope, the two DHCP servers are oblivious to each other's presence and do not synchronize the IP address lease information.
To host the DHCP server on a Windows Failover Cluster, the DHCP database needs to be hosted on a shared storage accessible to both nodes of a cluster in addition to the deployment of the cluster itself. DHCP servers running on each node of the cluster operate on the same DHCP database hosted on the shared storage. In order to avoid the shared storage being the single point of failure, a storage redundancy solution needs to be deployed. This increases the complexity as well as the TCO of the DHCP high availability deployment.
The Windows Server 2012 DHCP failover mechanism eliminates these shortcomings and provides a vastly simplified deployment experience. Moreover, DHCP failover is supported in all editions (Foundation, Standard, Data Center) of Windows Server 2012. As one of the server reviewers aptly put it, this is high availability of DHCP on a low budget!
DHCP failover can be configured using the DHCP MMC as well as the DHCP PowerShell cmdlets. Everything you can do via the MMC for DHCP failover is achievable via the DHCP PowerShell cmdlets as well. The DHCP MMC provides a Failover Setup wizard which greatly eases the setup of failover. There are two launch points in the DHCP MMC from which a user can start the wizard. The right click menu options on the IPv4 node now have a Configure failover… option. If launched from here, all the scopes on the server which are not yet setup for failover are selected for failover configuration. Alternatively, if you select one or more scopes and right click, you will see the same Configure Failover… option. If launched in this fashion, only the selected scopes are configured for failover. Please see the step by step guide to setup failover using DHCP MMC. You can download the "Understanding and Troubleshooting guide" here.
For the command line users, DHCP PowerShell provides the following PowerShell cmdlets for setting up and monitoring failover:
In addition to these, Get–DhcpServerv4ScopeStatistics cmdlet which returns scope statistics has a "-failover" switch. Specifying this switch causes the cmdlet to return failover specific statistics for scopes which are configured for failover.
In conclusion, DHCP failover in Windows Server 2012 provides a high availability mechanism for DHCP which is very easy to deploy and manage and caters to the critical requirements of continuous availability of DHCP service and IP address continuity for the clients. Early adopters of the feature have shared our enthusiasm for this critical DHCP functionality and feedback from them has been very positive.
Give it a spin on Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate and we hope that you will find it useful!
Team DHCP
Great stuff. Been wanting something like this for quite some time...
@Stewart, Agreed it is SO nice to see code changes on bits of the OS that haven't seen an update like this since NT4!
There is an error in the text: There is no Enterpise Edition for Windows Server 2012.
Quote: "DHCP failover is supported in all editions (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Data Center) of Windows Server 2012. As one of the server reviewers aptly put it, this is high availability of DHCP on a low budget!"
Thanks Thorsten for noting that! The reference to enterprise edition has now been removed from the blog.
Also, if you change the lease duration for a scope in one server, it won't replicate to the other server. You have to micromanage that setting along with the other settings that I mentioned, on each server.
You can replicate any scope configuration including lease duration, options, reservations etc using the "Replicate scope" action provided in DHCP MMC. This will replicate the scope configuration to the partner DHCP server.
Dear All,
I have configured the two windows 2012 std server on two different site with DHCP fail-over service. i just want to know how the fail over works.. ? should i need to add the partner IP in my network switches (Ip helper address) so that in case of primary server fail host can reach up to partner server ??
Your urgent response in this regard will be highly appreciated..
Hi Nadeem,
You need to add IP addresses of both the DHCP servers in your network switches as IP helper addresses. This will ensure that DHCP client requests (broadcast messages) reach both the DHCP servers. If you have configured a load balanced failover, only one of the servers will respond to a given client when the failover relationship is in NORMAL state i.e. both servers are up and running and able to communicate with each other. The servers compute a hash of the MAC address of the client and have an a-priori understanding of which hash will be served by which server. When one of the servers goes down , the failover relation moves into COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED state (Lost contact with partner). While in this state, the server will respond to all client requests.
Erm, replication of allow\deny MAC filter? I'm surprised this feature was completely missed out, we rely upon this in our organisation to prevent anyone from just plugging a device in, it seems this is the only aspect the Server 2012 replication doesnt handle, am I mistaken?
Hi Ross, DHCP failover does not provide for replication of server level/wide configuration. Allow/Deny MAC filter is a server level/wide configuration. The reason this is not provided for is because a DHCP serve can participate in more than one failover relationships with different partner DHCP servers. In such scenarios, replicating server level configuration can lead to undesirable resultant server level/wide configuration. If your server has a single failover relationship or a allow/deny MAC address filter list that applies to all servers, you can setup a regular sync between the DHCP servers by writing a simple PowerShell script and integrating it with Windows Task Scheduler so that it runs on a periodic basis.
Let us know if you have further questions.
I'm currently testing this new feature and It's a great improvement from clustering DHCP with 2008r2.
One issue though - I've configured a hot standby failover setup for my DHCP servers. For testing purposes I've set state switchover interval to 10mins, and MCLT to 5 minutes.
I see from the event logs the relationship status changes from:
NORMAL to COMMUNICATION_INT
then 10mins after:
COMMUNICATION_INT to PARTNER_DOWN.
Which is expected. However, 5mins after that I should expect my second DHCP server to take ownership of the scopes I've specified. However, the DHCP MMC snap in tells me that I only have 5% of address available in the secondary DHCP server's pool for both scopes. Am I right in assuming this should go to 100% after the MCLT time has expired?
Hi David,
The statistics are not updated to reflect the fact that second DHCP server has taken ownership of the entire address pool of a scope. So, you will not see address available on the second server go to 100% after MCLT expiry in PARTNER DOWN state.
I was wondering if the Active-Passive mode can be used on more than two servers. We currently have a centralized DHCP server. One of our schools had their fiber cut and could not log in to local resources. We would have 12 schools that fall in to this scenario. So, could we set up Active-Passive with that many servers? Thanks.
Hi Jlinesnm,
Yes - you can use active-passive (hot standby) mode or active-active (load balance) mode on more than 2 servers. But this will have to be for a different set of scopes. Here is how I see it getting deployed in your scenario. Lets say each of the 12 schools have few scopes/subnets e.g. School1_scope1 and School1_scope2 for school1. You will deploy one DHCP server at each of the 12 schools. The DHCP server at each school will have scopes of that school configured e.g. School 1 DHCP server will have School1_scope1 and School1_scope2. Likewise for each of the 12 schools. You will then configure a failover relation in hot standby mode from each of the school DHCP servers to the central DHCP server e.g you will create a failover relation - School1-Central which has School1_scope1 and School1_scope2 as part of that failover relation. Likewise for each of the 12 schools. The central DHCP server now will have 12 failover relations each of which is with a different school DHCP server. The central DHCP server will be standby server for each of the failover relation. The DHCP server at each school will have a single failover relation for which it will be the active server.
With this deployment, the DHCP server local to the school will lease IP addresses to the computers/devices at that school. If the DHCP server local to the school goes down, the clients at that school will get DHCP service from the central DHCP server which would have now turned "active" but only for the scopes of that specific school.
This deployment topology is referred to as hub-and-spoke. You can read a blog about it here - blogs.technet.com/.../multi-site-deployment-topologies-for-dhcp-failover.aspx.
You will need to ensure that the DHCP relays at each school are configured to relay DHCP client messages to both the DHCP servers - central server and local server.
Let us know if this deployment topology would work for you.
Thanks for this. One other question, can the setup be reversed? You describe the scenario for the schools being active and the central server being passive. Can we reverse that and have the central server be the active server and the school sites be passive and only become active if communication to the central server goes down?

Review: Saturday Night Live - Charles Barkley/Alicia Keys
by Annie Wu, posted Jan 10th 2010 12:45PM
(S35E11) Charles Barkley isn't much of an actor. I knew that even as a little kid, when I saw him pop up in Space Jam for all of five minutes. If anyone was expecting to be blown out of the water by Barkley's performance, they really need to reconsider if their entire life is plagued by self-sabotage, as that was clearly a silly thing to hope for and a set-up for inevitable disappointment.
Going in with low expectations made this episode easier to watch. There were a few points here and there where Barkley seemed more comfortable, and some of his pre-taped segments were pretty funny. Overall though, this wasn't a particularly memorable episode, apart from the fact it was bumped by over thirty minutes, thanks to something called the NFL.
And yes, as a young person that isn't very well-versed in sports Space Jam is my go-to reference for Barkley.
Review: Saturday Night Live - James Franco/Muse
by Annie Wu, posted Dec 20th 2009 12:50PM
(S35E10) I hope you all rolled a towel against the crack of the door before watching James Franco host. This was the most I've laughed at an episode in quite a while, but I am still not entirely sure if it's because watching for ninety minutes gave me a bit of a contact high. Okay, even if you argue that I'm inferring a lot because bits of Pineapple Express are still lingering in my brain, there's no denying Franco was definitely extra-squinty, extra-grinny, and was half-slurring, half-spitting his speech through most of the night.
There was also a lot of making out. No man, woman or tree was safe. Or bong, I guess. Maybe.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Taylor Lautner/Bon Jovi
by Annie Wu, posted Dec 13th 2009 12:58PM
(S35E09) Hello, Twilight fans. I know you're only here because of your screaming hearts, thudding so hard that every beat is a case for internal bruising. I'm going to be upfront: I don't like Twilight. I tried reading it before it was a "thing" because my friends recommended it to me and I found myself struggling to get through it because, well, even then I knew it was embarrassing. I also watched the film, which I thought was very funny, though I realize that was probably not the intended effect.
That said, I thought Taylor Lautner did a great job. See? I'm not just swimming in haterade. Obviously, I wasn't prepared to like him, but just like Blake Lively from last week, Lautner delivered a strong performance. He seemed really comfortable throughout the entire episode and was surprisingly natural, more natural than some of the actual cast members at some points, at least in terms of blatantly looking at cue cards.
And thanks for keeping your shirt on for all 90 minutes, Sharkboy.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Blake Lively/Rihanna
by Annie Wu, posted Dec 6th 2009 2:35PM
(S35E08) I will be perfectly honest: I was not at all looking forward to this episode. A few months ago, I had forced myself to watch two seasons of Gossip Girl for blogging purposes (okay, it was also an excuse to stare at their fantastic costuming), and I couldn't bring myself to continue. One of the reasons why I disliked the show so much was Serena, Blake Lively's character.
However, I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by this episode. Lively was minimally awkward and brought great enthusiasm through the entire evening (though not an exhausting amount of zeal Joseph Gordon-Levitt style). I liked how it didn't seem Lively went on the show with a mission (apart from showing off her crazy legs); she didn't try to show off her musical side, cling to strictly "pretty girl" skits, or get controversial. She was just there, having a good time.
Also, for the most part, the writing was solid this week. Probably the most consistently funny installment in quite a while. Even the strange treatment of the Cold Open (with the Obama party crashers) was adorable.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Dave Matthews Band
by Annie Wu, posted Nov 22nd 2009 12:38PM
(S35E07) I imagine it played out like this: Joseph Gordon-Levitt was at home last week, trying to mentally prepare for his first go as Saturday Night Live host by watching January Jones. Her performance turned out to be wooden and incredibly low energy and, consequently, the laughs were minimal. This struck fear into Mr. Gordon-Levitt's heart, and, terrified, he dropped the pint of Phish Food that he was eating in my imagination. "I won't let this happen to me," I bet he said. "I'm going to eat two fistfuls of Pixi Stix at 11:25 p.m. Saturday night and have someone inject me with a near lethal dose of adrenaline. I'll also wear a lot of vests."
And that's how Joseph Gordon-Levitt managed to exhaust a seated audience through sheer enthusiasm and volume alone. Maybe.
Review: Saturday Night Live - January Jones/Black Eyed Peas
by Annie Wu, posted Nov 15th 2009 12:32PM
(S35E06) There was a strange moment of nodding recognition at the end of the night, as I watched Jason Sudeikis and January Jones in the cloud-gazing sketch. Throughout, the man pauses to consider the woman's weird behavior and then concedes, "Ohh, you're a very pretty, pretty woman." Yup. That's pretty much how I reacted the entire night, especially during really bad sketches like the farting Grace Kelly (take a moment to think about that: Farting. Grace. Kelly.)
Jones was kind of a stiff host with not particularly daring material, but, goodness gracious, her real-life 50s Barbie prettiness was mesmerizing. Her performances in the mid-century instructional video and the aforementioned cloud-gazing sketch were the best of the evening, but that's not saying much since the rest of her appearances were strange and wooden. Even her good night felt like it had been programmed in and auto-tuned for maximum polite insincerity.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Taylor Swift
by Annie Wu, posted Nov 8th 2009 9:40AM
(S35E05) I had to talk myself through being allowed to criticize Taylor Swift. Ever since Kanye West VMA outburst turned everyone in America into Swift's over-protective mom, she's been shown even more as an innocent country-inspired sweetheart. Every time she messed up in this episode, I felt the need to hold back any not-super-great remarks because, well, she's a teeny-bopper! Teeny-boppers are just kids goofin' around!
And then I have to pause and remind myself that she's almost 20-years-old, around the same age as Shia LaBeouf and Ellen Page when they first hosted and Abby Elliiott when she initially joined the featured players. Screw it, there's no need to hold back. Swift is a musician, so we can't expect her acting skills to be super-good, but the fact I keep thinking she's only 14 shouldn't affect anything else.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Gerard Butler/Shakira
by Annie Wu, posted Oct 18th 2009 2:03PM
(S35E04) I remember sitting down and staring at Gerard Butler as he made funny, smarmy faces at the camera. And then I blinked, only to see Butler was thanking the cast and viewers for a wonderful show. I looked on the computer screen. There were half-remembered notes haphazardly tapped out at some point.
Somehow, I had jumped forward ninety minutes. Had I finally mastered short-term time travel? Or did I just watch an incredibly forgettable episode of Saturday Night Live? Probably the latter. However, I vaguely recall a destructive robot adorably struggling through a wall. If that was actually a dream and not real life, please don't tell me.
Saturday Night Live: Drew Barrymore/Regina Spektor
by Annie Wu, posted Oct 11th 2009 10:29AM
(S35E03) Drew Barrymore is energy. Pure, almost-scary energy. It's disorienting to watch when one is bleary-eyed and staring at a tiny TV in the wee hours of the morning, but this trademark makes for consistent television-viewing. While the quality of Saturday Night Live's writing may waver from episode to episode, every time Drew Barrymore returns, one can safely expect absolute enthusiasm and a palpable willingness to step back and laugh at herself.
All right, little Ms. "I Extra-Love Female Empowerment," prepare for me to work that ego.... Especially when one compares her to the typical "hot girl" host (see: Megan Fox's SNL premiere), Barrymore doesn't box herself in and offers a lot more opportunity for fun characters. Would someone like Fox ever be willing to bolo it up to play Nina Wilkes Booth? I doubt it.
Saturday Night Live: Ryan Reynolds/Lady Gaga
by Annie Wu, posted Oct 4th 2009 2:38PM
(S35E02) After that Jenny Slate f-bomb nonsense and Megan Fox's not terribly original hot girl material from the season premiere, it was exciting to see a really solid episode (and a star-studded one, at that). Ryan Reynolds did a fantastic job as host (snaps for his wavering voice during the porcelain fountains sketch and accent in SYTYCD), though he didn't have any major stand-out roles. Did I miss the memo that Lady Gaga wasn't just musical guest but co-host as well? Such a role is normally left up to Ryan Reynolds' giant biceps.
It's been a while since we've seen such consistently enjoyable writing in an episode. Usually, there's a distinct lull during the course of the 90 minutes, but I didn't feel it this time. Hopefully, this is a good indication of the rest of the season.
SNL (probably) welcoming two new female cast members

Several sources have been following up on a report on Sean McCarthy's The Comic's Comic blog about two new Saturday Night Live cast members, including the New York Post and Variety.
The two newcomers will reportedly be Jenny Slate, who has appeared in the "7th Floor West" series of sketches on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and the Iranian-born Nasim Pedrad, who had a one-woman show called Me, Myself, and Iran at The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. Both have worked with the Upright Citizens Brigade troupe. (Note: although several sources have said the new additions are official, NBC's publicity department is not confirming it, as of about 11 AM today).

So a college student over 40 years ago was arrested for possession of marijuana! Let me assure you, as a college student at that time, he was by far not the only one and certainly not the only politician.
