Dynamic DNS with a virtual web server
Dynamic Duo
A virtual server with a dynamic DNS service might just be the easiest way for a home user to implement an Internet website.
A dynamic DNS service lets the user run a web server from a home computer without a static IP address. Dynamic DNS providers such as DynDNS.com [1], easyDNS [2], or ZoneEdit.com [3] won't even charge you for a static DNS name. If your Internet provider assigns new IP addresses to your router through DHCP, a special program – or even the router itself – will pass the new IP address on to the dynamic DNS service provider, thus updating the DNS record for uninterrupted name resolution services.
Many users are wary of installing a private server because they're afraid of vulnerabilities. An attacker who manages to compromise your web server can access your private machine and possibly even endanger important data. However, if you install a web server as a virtual machine (Figure 1), the damage is limited. If an uninvited visitor runs amok on your server, you can easily restore the system to its previous state. VMware server, for instance, lets you take a snapshot of the current system state and restore it at any time. A virtual web server also offers greater convenience and mobility. If you burn your data onto a DVD or a memory stick, you can put your server in your pocket and load it into another virtual machine on other hardware.
Step by Step
A quick overview will serve to outline the steps for deploying a VMware virtual web server system. Start by installing a virtual server. In this article, I use the free VMware server, which does not need any major network configuration. On the server, install the operating system you will be using for the virtual server as a virtual machine. In our lab, I opted for servers on Ubuntu 7.10 and openSUSE 10.3. Of course, you can choose any other flavor of Linux – many roads lead to Rome.
On the virtualized Linux system, set up the services you want to offer on the Internet. In this article, I focus on deploying an Apache web server, but the process is similar for other Internet services. If your network uses a private address space behind a firewall/router device, the server will only be accessible from the private network at first. As you will learn in this article, you can make the web server accessible from the Internet by assigning it a static IP address on the local network and then configuring the router to forward incoming port 80 traffic to the virtual server's address. If your ISP assigns an Internet address to the router through DHCP, the address will change occasionally. The Ddclient tool will notify the dynamic DNS service provider when the address changes.
The Host
The free VMware server download of version 1.0.4 is available directly from the vendor's website [4]; however, this means installing manually. Ubuntu users can adopt a far easier approach. Launch Synaptic and add another external package source (deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner); then, click to install the vmware-server package.
The serial number you will need is also at the download address [4]. Be warned: Before you are given a serial number, you'll need to answer a whole bunch of questions. After completing the installation, access the server's GUI by pressing Alt+F2 on openSUSE 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.10 and then typing vmware. This takes you to the interface shown in Figure 2.
The next step is to install an ISO image that you download from the web. As an alternative, you can use the host system's disc drive as an installation source if you have the system on a CD or a DVD. Start by selecting File | New | Virtual Machine to set up a new, "empty" virtual machine. Then, select Next and Typical, opt for Linux as the system to install, and select an appropriate version in the drop-down menu.
In the next dialog, type a name for the virtual machine – I chose UbuntuServer and OpenSUSE10_3. Do not change the Location. Now move on to the network settings. If you select Use bridged networking, the server will be set up as a client on the local network. For test purposes, it is perfectly all right to set Disk Size to 5.0 GByte. Check the option Split disk into 2GB files if you want to copy the virtual machine onto external media. Older file systems, such as Ext2 and FAT32, have problems with large files. The server will clean up the required space on the host system if you click Finish. The virtual machine is like a computer with an empty hard disk – time to invite guests.
To assign some of the host system's resources to the virtual machine, click Edit virtual machine settings. Below CDROM 1, click on Use ISO image to use an ISO image as your installation resource. Click Browse to open a file manager and search your disk for the ISO file (Figure 3). If you prefer to use the standard installation medium, keep the default. Click Memory to extend the virtual machine's RAM – you will have to decide how many megabytes of RAM the virtual machine is allowed to steal.
If the host system has multiple processors, you can specify how many of them the virtual server is allowed to use in the Processors menu. When you are done, click OK to complete the configuration and then reboot the virtual machine by clicking Power on this virtual machine. If you need to change the BIOS, quickly press the Esc key – otherwise the installation will be pretty much the same as on any physical machine. In the case of an Ubuntu server, you should choose Install to Disk as your boot option.
A number of HOWTOs on the Internet describe the installation of one distribution or another. Because VMware tricks the distribution into thinking that it is installing the guest machine with standard hardware, driver problems are very unlikely. It is a good idea to click Snapshot after completing the installation to save a copy of the current system. Later on, if necessary, you will be able to restore exactly this state, and you might also want to take another snapshot when your server is up and running and the configuration is complete.
Reality Check
Although a virtual web server offers many advantages, it definitely isn't a solution for every situation. One disadvantage is performance. Systems running on virtual machines are slightly slower than systems running on the hardware. If you're expecting a high volume of visitors because you run a game server or an enormous content management system, you should make sure your server has sufficient resources or else do without virtualization.
Hardware support is also an issue with virtual machines: Your Webcam or MP3 player might not work as anticipated under VMware. The host system that houses the virtual server also needs a wired connection to your home router – virtual machines will not be able to use a WLAN connection on the host. Finally, virtual machines are not suitable for 3D applications; of course, this is not typically an issue for a server. If the virtual server is not an option for you, don't worry: The Apache web server works just fine with dynamic DNS service on the physical machine.

Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Barnes & Noble is having another buy 2 get 1 free sale. This is always a great time for them to suck my wallet dry since they have a pretty thorough classic Who collection. Which 3 do you think I should get?
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Invasion of the Dinosaurs would be my top pick from that list. Yes the effects aren't great but it's a great story.
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
The Greatest Show in the Galaxy is my favorite on this list-- one of many McCoy-era gems. The Time Meddler is one of my favorite Hartnells, some good comic acting in that one.
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Not trying to discourage you from buying DW, but if you compare prices, you'll find that B&N recently raised theirs across the board. Even with b2g1, you will likely be able to buy all 3 at Amazon or elsewhere for cheaper. That said, B&N does have Shada for 24 bucks right now. If you don't have that already, it's a must-get.
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
The Time Meddler and Greatest Show are easily the best of those stories. Though I enjoy them all.
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Of those, Three Doctors, Sunmakers, Greatest Show
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Timelash, The Gunfighters and Warriors of the Deep.
There, no need to thank me...
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
The Time Meddler - fantastic historical that's also a real turning point in Who mythology and what kind of stories Who could tell.
The Sun-Makers - good satire from possibly Who's greatest writer (although not his best story).
The Greatest Show in the Galaxy - clever, innovative adventure with one of the best Doctor/companion teams.
Three good but very different stories, plus you get something from the 60s, something from the 70s and something from the 80s.
Re: Pick my next 3 classic DVD purchases
Well, so far in the results, "The Time Meddler" is running away with this. (It's a bit of an awkward purchase though, economically. It's the only one on the list that isn't the same price as any of the others.)
And, just like in the last poll, no love for "The Mutants." That one sure seems like the bottom of the barrell for the Pertwee years. (Although, I've heard from some people who think "Colony in Space" is worse.)
Of those 3, I'm not even sure the list is actually that dire.
I'm actually quite fond of "The Gunfighters." I like Hartnell's historical comedies and I think Hartnell is more on top of his game here than usual. (If you actually wanted to spoil my Hartnell viewing, you'd be better off suggesting a 6-part slog like "The Sensorites" or "The Web Planet" or even one of the more uninspired 4-parters like "The Ark" or "An Unearthly Child.")
"Timelash" gets kind of a bad rap. And while I agree it's not a high water mark for the series, it's still decent. Its only crime is that it's aggressively low-budget & middle-of-the-road. It just kind of sits there like "Image of the Fendahl" or "The Creature from the Pit."
But I will concede that "Warriors of the Deep" is shite. In fact, I can only think of 2 classic stories that are unequivocally worse-- "Destiny of the Daleks" & "Mawdryn Undead."

I had a rough weekend. Boy, everything and anything went wrong. Tried installing my $40 RF Modulator, JUNK*** I proceeded to rip the mother f-er out, while the car was still on, and threw it across the yard. Mind you, it was snowing out too and damn cold. It landed in a snow back about 30 feet away.
Then, I am like f***, how I am gonna get my damn mp3's to play now.. ugh. I have been unsuccessful finding an aux in for my vehicle, and since it is a lease, do not really want to replace the head unit. so, those are my sound woes.
Next, I was like stupid CoPilot, was not finding a gps signal and I was tired of having the bottom two buttons (Plan & Exit) not showing, so I proceed to switch from 800 x480 to 800 x 600. I thought I would give it a try and see how I like it and what not. But, stupid thing switch the refresh rate to 240hz or whatever, just not 60, so I could not see my screen.
So, I am even more enfuriated, so I am like, I'll just go inside, cool down and rethink my process. Then, I turn off my car and the set the switch to off. I waited 2 minutes for my PC to turn off. So, like the angry t-ed off tempered man that I am, I ripped the damn switch out too.
UGH!!!! so, that is the story and I am sticking to it. I originally tried piecing things together with current parts that I had, i.e. cable, heat shrink tubes, connectors, to save some money. But, I have since ordered a whole bunch of wiring, connectors, cable loom, cable sleeving, heat shrink tubes, heat shrink gun, another RF modulator ($20), about another $250 worth.
So for my project that was supposed to be fairly easy and cheap, it is become a pain in my arse and wallet. Funny thing is I have been contemplating even doing a carPC, but I have been reading posts, and keeping track of hardware/software that would seem to work best. Oh well, I'll post more updates this weekend as all my stuff is supposed to come in today and tomorrow. Hopefully I can get this mother f-er to work and be finished. It is consuming all of my time and I have other hobbies that I want to concentrate on.
Well, how'd you like that update? UGH.. anyone want to come over and finish this for me, it'll be a blast, i'll supply the beer!!

PS: I was "bullied" as a kid, but i got over it. If a teenager decides to commit suicide/go on a killing spree, then that is on them and NO ONE ELSE, so don't even go there.
How is it not your responsibility to censor what you say to someone who hasn't even reached his teens yet? Over a post about some goggles? As someone who has apparently suffered from bullying (not sure what form yours took since it was in speech marks) surely you can understand how irrational and unnecessary it is?
In regards to hiding behind a computer screen, I would gladly meet up with anyone on here to discuss it face to face. Maybe somewhere half way but then I reckon most those posting this crap won't have passports...

TEPCO boss tells Japan disaster zone: 'I'm sorry'
Tokyo (AFP) April 11, 2011
The president of the embattled operator of Japan's crippled nuclear plant visited Fukushima on Monday and apologised for the atomic emergency engulfing the area.
Masataka Shimizu, the president of Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), had wanted to go to the offices of the Fukushima prefecture government in the hope of meeting governor Yuhei Sato, but a local official said no meeting had taken place.
The official gave no reason, but Sato has refused to meet the boss of the embattled utility before.
Shimizu had no plans to see residents who were forced to abandon their houses, farms and fishing boats when the Fukushima Daiichi power plant began spewing radiation into the air, soil and sea, a TEPCO spokesman said.
But he told reporters in Fukushima he was sorry for the mess his plant had created after the tsunami of March 11 rolled ashore.
"I offer my personal apology from the bottom of my heart once again to the people in Fukushima prefecture and residents near the nuclear plant for having imposed such awful physical and mental burdens," he said.
It was Shimizu's first public appearance since March 13, two days after a 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems at the Fukushima plant, setting off the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.
The 66-year-old spent more than a week in hospital suffering from dizziness and high blood pressure. He returned to work on Thursday.
He was also due at the so-called Off Site Centre, a facility inside the Fukushima government building serving as the operations room for dealing with the nuclear disaster.
The centre was originally located about five kilometres (three miles) from the plant, but was relocated to the prefecture government building 60 kilometres away to avoid the danger of radiation contamination to workers.
"He will visit officials and staff at the Off Site Centre and reiterate our apologies and express our gratitude for the work they have done," TEPCO spokesman Taichi Okazaki said before the visit.

Seagate downplays SSD in MacBook Air, says hybrid the future
updated 03:40 pm EDT, Fri October 22, 2010
Seagate says MacBook Air not the future yet
Seagate chief Steve Luczo talked down the effect of the new MacBook Air's all-SSD mix this week in a question and answer session following its latest results. He acknowledged that the designs would be "obviously pretty competing" but noted that SSDs were still in the minority at Apple, which he estimated sold just five percent or less of its Macs with flash storage. He also reiterated common problems with SSDs, such as their high prices, low capacities and tendency to bog down over time as they fill up and lose efficiency.
Luczo admitted that he himself had a previous generation MacBook Air and liked it, but also used it as an example of the problems Apple might face. He suggested instead that Seagate's hybrid hard drives and SSDs, like the Momentus XT, would be better since they use the SSD more as a cache than as main storage.
"I spend a lot of time cleaning out files so I can make room for not a lot of content, to be honest with you," he said during the call. "I can [also] tell you that my SSD drive takes about 25, 30 seconds to boot now versus the 12 seconds when I bought it. And that's just an issue more related to OS than it is specifically to the technology, but again, with the hybrid, there are things that you can do to alleviate it so that your boot times are actually as compelling one, two, three and four years down the road."
The statements are somewhat misleading as the issue has mostly been solved on SSDs, albeit not yet officially in Mac OS X. The TRIM command is used in Windows 7 and updated Vista systems to automatically collect "garbage" left from deleting files and prevent the drive from wasting time clearing it out. Hints have existed that TRIM is coming to the Mac and may even be present on the new MacBook Air, but it hasn't been confirmed so far.
Seagate's leader still saw the new Air as being acceptable for those who live in a "net environment" like the cloud but thought that the mainstream or those with a local network cloud would need more space.

Prince George has a vibrant, bustling arts and culture community with wonderfully active volunteer and professional organizations that encourage professional and recreational artists. These strong groups and individuals have created a fabric that is uniquely Prince George. The City of Prince George assists and encouraged many of these groups through a number of programs and activities.
The City of Prince George endeavours to be BC's Northern Arts Capital through providing access to the arts for all citizens by supporting the arts, encouraging partnerships, stimulating excellence and acknowledging and promoting the contribution of the arts towards providing an excellent quality of life in Prince George.
The City of Prince George has six guiding principles that help direct its involvement in arts and cultural development.
The City has created a Public Art Advisory group to assist in promoting and developing public art. This dedicated group of volunteers also assists in making recommendations for of a number of other arts and culture issues (e.g. Cultural Grants).
Prince George has a variety of pieces of
public art and it continues to grow. In 2007 the "Transforming Public Art" report was created. It inventoried public art and included a public input process on the future of public art in Prince George.
In 2012 the Public Art Advisory developed a downtown walking guide called
"Public Art in the Heart of Downtown". Enjoy these works of art while visiting the downtown. If you are interested in Public Art in other areas of the community this Self Guided Public Art Tour is also available. Click here for a more comprehensive listing of the
Public Art, the Municipality's indoor art collection, markers and memorials.
The myPG Social Development Fund has a granting stream focusing on "Cultural Richness". This is one of the strategic priorities of City Council.
The City endeavours to be BC's Northern Arts Capital through providing access to the arts for all citizens by supporting the arts, encouraging partnerships, stimulating excellence and acknowledging and promoting the contribution of the arts towards providing an excellent quality of life in Prince George. The myPG Social Development Fund supports projects that:
1. Contribute to the creation of a sense of community identity and spirit, and which contribute to an individual's sense of belonging to the community;
2. Contribute to individual growth and development with particular emphasis on development of the creative potential of people, on youth activities and on community recreation activities;
3. Contribute to developing family strength and cohesion by the provision of opportunities for the family to participate as a unit;
4. Contribute to the understanding of our heritage as a City and Nation, the encouragement of diversity, uniqueness and innovation, and the promotion of respect for diverse cultural traditions;
5. Contribute to community growth and development by fostering increased contact between people of varying groups within the city;
6. Improve coordination and integration of existing services and improve the capacity of board members and staff to plan, develop, promote, manage, and evaluate organizational activities;
7. Are related to identifiable disadvantaged groups within the community and which are intended to remove barriers to access to the arts.
All Cultural Richness projects must contribute to the following strategic goal.
Citizens enjoy a rich cultural life, with more events, facilities, education and community involvement in the arts.
Application forms are historically available in October and due in January. Allocations are historically approved in mid-March. Click here to go to the
Financial Assistancepage on the City's website for more information and application forms.

What your sneeze says about your personality
Nose shape, structure may determine type of sneeze
Some sound like mortar fire, others like somebody just stepped on a mouse.
We each have our own individual sneezing style. But what, exactly, determines whether those sneezes come out dainty and demure or whether they blow down the entire house?
READ: Don't let allergies stop you from traveling
"Sneezes are like laughter," says Dr. Alan Hirsch, a neurologist, psychiatrist and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. "Some [laughs] are loud, some are soft. And it's similar with sneezing. It will often be the same from youth onward in terms of what it sounds like."
Hirsch says he doesn't know of any studies that have been conducted on various sneezing styles and what they might mean, but says he does believe the way we sneeze reflects some component of the personality.
READ: You toothbrush could be the hidden spreader of germs in your home
"It's more of a psychological thing and represents the underlying personality or character structure," he says.
A person who's demonstrative and outgoing, for instance, would most likely have a loud explosive sneeze, whereas someone who's shy might try to withhold their sneezes, resulting in more of a Minnie Mouse-type expulsion.
The shape of our nose or the bone structure of our face might contribute a small degree to certain sneezing styles much in the same way the resonance of our voice is affected by our anatomy, says Siegel. But "what we perceive as the sneezing sound is not really affected significantly by the nose structure."

|A novel intraurethral device diagnostic index to classify bladder outlet obstruction in men with lower urinary tract symptoms.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19125194 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Objectives. Using a urethral device at the fossa navicularis, bladder pressure during voiding can be estimated by a minimal invasive technique. This study purposes a new diagnostic index for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs). Methods. Fifty one patients presenting with LUTSs were submitted to a conventional urodynamic and a minimal invasive study. The results obtained through the urethral device and invasive classic urodynamics were compared. The existing bladder outlet obstruction index (BOOI) equation that classifies men with LUTSs was modified to allow minimal invasive measurement of isovolumetric bladder pressure in place of detrusor pressure at maximum urine flow. Accuracy of the new equation for classifying obstruction was then tested in this group of men. Results. The modified equation identified men with obstruction with a positive predictive value of 68% and a negative predictive value of 70%, with an overall accuracy of 70%. Conclusions. The proposed equation can accurately classify over 70% of men without resorting to invasive pressure flow studies. We must now evaluate the usefulness of this classification for the surgical treatment of men with LUTSs.

|Self-appraisal, anxiety and depression in women. A prospective enquiry.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3446309 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Depressive illness is known to be associated with low self-evaluation, but it has been suggested that there may be a reciprocal connection as well, such that low self-appraisal (in the absence of illness) makes the subsequent onset of depression more likely. A prospective study, using a community sample of 376 women, provided data about clinical state over a period of 18 months, and self-appraisal questionnaire scores were determined on two occasions separated by 6 months. There was no evidence that low self-evaluation predicted future episodes of depressive illness, except in women who reported previous psychological episodes for which they had sought medical help, and, even for those with previous episodes, much of the predictive power of low self-esteem was accounted for by individuals who were subsequently recognised to have been in the early stages of illness. Conversely, there was little evidence that prior episodes predicted future illness in people with high self-esteem. One explanation of the findings is that recurrent episodes of illness cause progressive impairment of self-appraisal, but other possibilities are also considered. Women who had recovered from illnesses detected at the first interview still had significantly less self-confidence 6 months later than those who were well throughout.

I have to admit I've been in more than a few laundromats over the years.
I've had years when I had an appropriate washer and dryer at home, and other years when there was a blank wall and a couple of hookups where the washer and dryer were supposed to go.
My pose when I enter a laundromat is that of someone who is there rather by accident, a long-distance traveler, perhaps, who has accumulated bags of unwashed clothes over days on the road doing something magnanimous for mankind. ...
