Classy Coin Casino - CLOSED 7/2015
Classy Coin has earned a well-deserved spot on LCB's Warning List along with the other Revenue Jet brands including Onbling, Loco Panda, Grand Parker and Ruby Royal. The group has been given ample opportunities to make good on player complaints, of which there are many, but they've failed to respond to simple emails and forum posts. As juicy as the bonuses appear to be, we encourage players to avoid this casino.
The lack of integrity across all Revenue Jet brands is apparent when they stop responding to player complaints and even communications from the LCB team. Clearly they know that players are on to them and it's no wonder with the way they do business. There are several red flags within the terms and conditions but with that said, they implement practices that aren't even stated in the T&C's. You would think that conducting security and verification checks shows steps in the right direction but not when its takes 6 months to complete.
The first complaints started immediately when the casino rep joined the forum in 2012 but he was quick to respond to many of them.The laundry list of issues with the entire Revenue Jet group comes down to the stalling tactics and failure to pay.
Players have complained about logging out and returning the following day only to find that they have a zero balance in their accounts. The rep has given excuses banning due to excessive accounts etc. but with the history of this group we have to wonder how often that is really the case.
Even players that have complied with every request from the casino have still experienced delays. These delays can last months, which is unacceptable. Documents are being sent in and not being reviewed or deemed invalid so players are required to resend and wait. Some casino customers have made an initial deposit only to have their accounts closed and waited weeks to receive their deposit back.
One player took the welcome bonus from Grand Parker, also a Revenue Jet brand, and was told that his documentation was approved and a withdrawal request could be made. Once the cashout was requested he received an email stating that his account was selected for a "random security check", which would take up to 60 days to complete. The shady tactics effect amount as small as $25 up to thousands.
Take note of #12 of the T&C's with regard to the approval of withdrawals.
"Custom approval: Based on player status such as a VIP player, all withdrawals requested will be reviewed, approved or denied within 6 business days of the request being made."
VIP players must wait six days, as if that's some sort of special treatment, while the rest of the players are subject to a 10 day review process. Too bad they can't even follow this rule.
"13. Some bonuses may include cashout limits on winnings which are equal to 10 times the amount of a player's deposit. The casino reserves the right to exercise this limitation at its discretion. Cashout limits will be determined by casino management according to a player's level and recent account activity. Any account may be subject to review. While under review, any pending withdrawal request may be reversed with the requested amount returned to the player's account."

thought I would try out this casino today-deposited for the first time..what a mistake..had $375 to play with , got the bonus 3 x and always won $30+ on each bonus on different games. And never won more than $6-7 on a screen..And my favorite game Pay Dirt wasn't working at all-would never deposited here if I had known that before hand. These casinos that are so tight that they don't let you win annoy the hell out of me...the play thru is so much anyway it wouldn't kill them to at least let you play for longer than an hour-I played between .50 and $1.75 never higher and it was so boring..will check them off my list of casinos to not go back to.
of course I decided to give them one more chance and chalk up my first experience to bad luck-nope..they are just super tight..now I am done
Had bad experience with Classy Coin Casino, they dont cash out, they need 10 business days to cash out normally and after 10 business days i asked whats going on and they told me they are checking all their players now. nothing after 15 business days and the support cant help but just tells you to send emails to their financial department. Stay away from the whole Milore Limited group, Classy Coin, Loco Panda, Onbling and GrandParker Casino they are either broke or rogue i suppose....DONT DEPOSIT THERE OR YOUR WINNINGS AND DEPOSITS ARE GONE!
not to mention they are as tight as a drum..4th (and last ) time playing in the past 2 months..have never won anything and you have to go through hundreds of dollars sometimes just to hit a bad bonus..so boring to get spin after spin with 2 bonus symbols over and over again and never hit the bonus..another one I am done with
I am having the same problem. I started playing about 3 mos. ago, having a little "luck" now and then. I had accumulated about $370.00. Decided to cash out the next day, but I could not get back online. I have tried calling them, tried to get live chat. Nothing. It is as though they have closed their doors.Does anyone know what is going on??Thanks...
I had similar experiences to pretty much every other player who has taken a chance at this site. The fact is that they simply don't pay here. I had literally been playing here only a couple of weeks when I decided to withdraw some of my winnings. Apparently, that was a bad idea because I immediately received an email saying that I was not allowed to do that because they didn't 'approve of my playing patterns'. It was absolutely ridiculous! If they didn't approve of my playing patterns then they should have removed me from the site. But no, they didn't mind allowing me to keep putting my money into them, which proves that that email they sent me was complete nonsense. I know so many people have had the same or very similar experiences. Forget the 10 days it takes to get your money! You won't be getting it period. This site is horrible! I don't know why they have not been blacklisted.
I just sent in my docs. I will update this site with the results... $1500 withdraw.
I deposited a lot here, and finally won about $2500. I sent in all my info, and was approved for withdraws. Instead of cashing out I played the $2500. I made $1000s in deposits to win again. Finally I hit a random for $2517.55 and decided to cash out $2000. I waited a week and was sent this email: Dear Damon,
Due to an administrative decision and security reasons your account has been deactivated, your deposits refunded to your credit card and your playable balance reset.
It may take up to 10 business days for the refund to appear on your account. Therefore we kindly ask you to keep in touch with your card issuer to acknowledge the exact date when the funds will appear on your account.

After reading all the reviews, didn't care to deposit s single dime, but i did register just to get the Free No Deposit Bonus, and I wasn't surprised to get absolutely not even close to winning anything. On paper, it looks solid, a $30 No Deposit Bonus, 40xb WR for slots, and a maximum $100 cash out, so not bad. Needless to say that I didn't win a single spin, which is really weird, and I don't remember playing anywhere with that bad result.
The site doesn't look to shabby, and the games selection looks good, and I even like to play RTG games, but this was a typical mission impossible.
Only downloadable software available, and that didn't help to make me want to play more, since I tend to avoid it whenever I can.
So, I'm afraid I don't have much good to say about this one, I registered only to give it a test, and not even that went well.
i won the jackpot in august 2012 8999.00 they would not pay me sent in all my docs called three to four times. said finance would contact me waited three days for email or phone call never got one called them and they said i could not directly talk to finance very poor communication and i knew when i called the first time they would never pay me will never ever play there again

I don't really comment on casinos but this one I really have to.
I claimed a NDB, made a playthru, documents has been approved, deposited $21 as required.
My withdrawal was canceled and everything was voided. I've been gambling for 2-3 years I used to break some rules because I did't know much about online casinos but come on I know what to do and what not to do while I play those free money.
I am not going to waste my time by trying to get my withdrawal.
All I wanna say is, you guys should be careful with this lame casino. There are enough good RTG casino with a fast payout and willing to pay.
Here I decided to post something, for me it's the best RTG I've played. Used to cashout twice with no deposit code , both payouts were quite long because of the verification and the deposit and took out some time but they worked finally. Everythings best with this site Classy Coin. 5 stars.
For its welcome bonus, Classy Coin Casino has created one of the more unique bonuses available on line. ClassyCoin offers its players three different bonus options over the first two deposits: There's the Nickel option—a 150% match on any deposit amount; the Dime option—a 200% match on deposits of $50 or more; and the Quarter option—a 300% match on deposits of $75 or more. All told, players can rake in up to $5,000 in bonus cash between the first two deposits. Additionally, players that use the Dime and Quarter bonuses are automatically entitled to receive an added casino bonus of $10 and $15, respectively, after playing.
ClassyCoin Casino also has a table games bonus—150% on the first two deposits. For a casino that has a strong focus on slots games, it's refreshing to see that they've created a high bonus for tables as well. In addition to the bonuses mentioned above, ClassyCoin has a 250% High Roller bonus for table players who deposit at least $700, as well as weekly bonuses and promotions for both slots and tables.
Classy coin for me is the best Real Time Gaming casino online.
They offer many no deposit codes on regular basis and you can reedem them all with no doubt about it. Games I really enjoyed there were a lot and during my play I hit nice wins during wagering so the payout ratio here is on a good level from this what I experienced. Black Lotus is a nice game and you could win much on this I also like Cesars Empire which is also here at classy coin.
Never deposited there but it's a good place and trusted to play with own money , they are cashing money with safety it's long here but it works.
So I can recommend this one to everyone.
Very popular casino, which offers slots from RTG. I really love those slots especially: Pay Dirt! and Hairway to Heaven. The gives a lot of no deposit bonuses each week. You have to be aware to not use two in row without a deposit between them.The casino is cashable, but the verifiaciot and waint for funds are quite long. The minus that the excluded my country last month.3/5
It is very good popular RTG casino , unfortunately recently they are no longer ok for polish players :( Before they used to be very good site where you could play a lot with their no deposit codes and their games were very great , it's too bad to hear that because site was fully cashable and professional.
One of the better RTG casino's. You can trust this one in everything.
Here I opened the account for a no deposit.
I managed to make the wagering but never made the withdrwal.
When I had 100$ in my account I contacted the support to ask them what to do in order to receive the money.And they said that I can make an witdrwal of 125 and that I need to complet a faxback for and to send them a lot off documents.
So I have sent the documents and all and they said to me after a few days that the documents are ok but that I need to make a deposit first in order to accept them.
So I said what the hell if I will make a deposit at least I should make the hole amount 125.I ended up losing everithing.
I don't know how they are with the payout process and all so I can't say nothing to good or to bad about them.
They seem like the usual rtg casino with a lot off verification and slow withdrwal time.
i personaly don't trust any rtg casinos, not one
Nice casino with nice many no deposit bonus codes, what is bad is that only one you can redeem (and then also potentially withraw) without depositing real money between them...
I signed up for this place a long while back now and from what i can remember it was a well presented place with decent customer support, i had no trouble with the no deposit bonus. The games are a bit limited as the only software is RTG, I was asked to present with documents when I had finished the bonus, but I ended up losing it all anyway, overall it is a pretty decent RTG casino.
I like this casino, never had any problems with anything. I have deposited a couple of times, haven't won yet but I trust them enough to keep depositing.
love the variety of games but wish you were allowed to redeem more than one free chip in a row
lovely rtg site definitely worth trying withdrawable fully and with lots of free codes coming up regullary as not other sites do , well one of the best rtgs, definitely withdrawals take quite a long time but they work
Classy Coin - Rtg powered casino which has good name. I like the no deposit from LCB site and it was the main reason i Joined this one. 40x fair wagering requirements, could let players to withdraw their winnings to the max 100$. Luck was aside me, so I decided to take welcome bonus of puting 40 dollars and got 60 additional instantly. 60x wagering requirements stumped for me and no winnings was claimed at that time, but has long playing time and fun.
Never made any cashout , but willing to do so in the nearest future. All in all, not bad one!
I am a member here and used the no deposit bonus but was not lucky, I havent deposited yet, I did use several other no deposit bonuses as well as free spins but found out you cannot use them one after another without a deposit in between which is fair I agree, so will have to deposit to get to play here, I see many like this casino but some have had bad experiences,
Worth a try I feel, I won on Onbling casino off a no depost bonus, cashed out $100 took about 3 weeks.
I have deposited at this casino several times. They do send me a lot of email with deposit bonuses that are ok, but nothing special. They do have promotions from time to time that are enticing somewhat, but not enough for me to go back again right now. I have also heard through the grapevine as well as from forum members that their withdrawal process leaves something to be desired. I hear they can give many excuses when dragging out payouts and the time frame can be well over two weeks. This is a pet peeve with me. If I win, I want my money quickly. I don't ask to play and pay later. I know they certainly wouldn't allow that request. In my opinion, you can do better in just about every aspect of play. But I must say that I haven't heard any one say that even eventually they did not get paid. So there ya go, my opinion.
Interesting casino. I played there about 2 months ago. Got no deposit bonus and lost all money in 30 minutes. Bad luck on me. But I don't get this one : Cashout Time:Long delays and non payments.
For now I am scared from this casino. How long are these delays? And there are no payments? 1 star from me.
I does not get any worse than this. Do yourself a favor. Rather than deposit here give the money to you local animal shelter, homeless shelter, or beggar on the street.
This operation is purely rogue. All you need to do is read their term and conditions and this is evident.
If you dare to even get slightly up in their casino they will look for a reason to lock your account.
Yep,another casino rogue.If you dont know the truth about them you will deposit there for sure because of the incredible promotions they have to offer.Belive me i know alot of people who never succeded to withdraw the winnings.I advice you to stay away from them.Tell me what casino has 7 days pending time frame.And after those 7 days they are begining to excuse,"We are sorry but now there is some security checking of the accounts",untill there you cannot withdraw,etc...
I can't say anything bad about this place, so far anyway. They offer some attractive deposit bonus's as well as cashback on your deposit. There customer service is better then some but average. I have yet been able to cashout here yet, but other then that they are not so bad.
This one is probably one of the worst places I played online. You'll get a promo emails from them every day with some no deposit or deposit bonuses but if you win you'll not get paid ever.
I once played with bonus they offered me through my email but lost it and then I exchanged loyalty points for cash and played with it. After few hours of play I got my balance up to 600$ and asked for withdrawal. Seven days later I got an email from them where was stated that my account was randomly selected for some security checks and that this will be done in 60 days.
I waited for about a month and then sent a email to see if anything has changed, but instead of anything good they sent me email where they notify me that I wont be paid...Nice.
Hope no one will make a mistake and deposit at this place or its sisters sites.
They are quite generous with no deposit offers. I played there once with a free chip and met the wagering. Then I read numerous amount of bad reviews and decided to not deposit there to get my withdrawal. The thing is that minimum withdrwal was 100$ and the free xhip max cashout was 40$, they wanted for me to deposit there 60$ and send documents and only then cashout would be processed. I do not trust them and I suggest not to deposit there.
I have played Achilles at Classy coin so many times that I can tell this: The game is manipulated!
Don't spend any money at this casino, cause if the other games are set up in the same way you will never win anything big from it. I know the game after playing it hundrereds of times at different casinos and at Classy coin it always act weard.
That is my opinion. Anyone else with similar experience?

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
How does one fight and win a war against an empire based around a religion? With Plan M!
Dreadstar #6 ("Siege") by Jim Starlin has Dreadstar and Company finally put into action Plan M, their strategy to fight against the Instrumentality. This issue is rather elegant in its simplicity of focusing on Plan M, setting up the proper circumstances for it to be executed and then executing it. It's a smart and cynical plan that ties into another of Starlin's longstanding interests/themes: the corruption of spiritual faith through organised religion. The Instrumentality clearly is a corrupt church, so do you defeat that?
The issue begins with Dreadstar and Company being tasked with delivering a serum to a Monarchy mining colony that's been under blockage by three Instrumentality Destroyers and has contracted an outbreak of some virus. It's a mission of mercy that clearly puts the Instrumentality in the wrong. They break through the blockage by blowing up a Destroyer (though the goal was to cripple it) allowing them to land and distribute the serum. Then, a previously unknown member of the crew, Maxilon, addresses the crowd. He delivers a stirring speech that affects those who hear it immensely. His speech is broadcast throughout the galaxy, affecting those watching as much. Skeevo is the only member of the crew throw offguard by this new member, but he's just as touched by everyone else who heard his speech. That's when the bombshell is dropped: Maxilon is a robot. He's Plan M! He's a messiah/saviour created by Dreadstar and Company to combat the Church of the Instrumentality on its own terms by presenting an alternative figure to draw people's need to worship and surrender themselves to. If they had simply continued a frontal attack against the Church, how could they separate the government from the faith? Killing the Lord High Papal isn't a solution, because he would become a religious martyr. He's not just the ruler of an empire, he's the leader of a faith.
Starlin has used religion and 'the Church' as a focus for his stories time and time again. In Warlock, the Magus embraced the messianic role that Adam Warlock always spurned, becoming the god of a corrupt church. In The Infinity Crusade, the Goddess represented the 'good' in Adam Warlock, but became religious zealotry. In his recent DC work, Lady Styx represented one church, while Synar was the 'god' of another. He doesn't seem to like or trust the institutions of organised religion, seeing them as filled at their highest levels not by humble servants of the faith, but by greedy, nasty, power-hungry individuals who manipulate the true believers to maintain their grasp on power. He doesn't seem to have any issue with spirituality and faith, he despises those that abuse those things — and, to a degree, those who allow their faith to blind them to the immorality of their church's leaders.
The way that Starlin presents Maxilon is clever: we never know exactly what he says. Part of his appeal we're told is that he's transmitting on a subsonic level when he speaks that stimulates people's nerve endings to create a gut reaction/special feeling when he speaks. So, it's not what he says, it's how he says it — to a degree that we could never experience in a comic. Before revealing this, Starlin's narration hints at that: "He speaks of the serum which he has brought to his brothers and sisters, to what he calls his cosmic family. / His words are not new. In fact, his message is nearly as old as humankind, but something is different this time." If Starlin had written his dialogue, it wouldn't have seemed special. It would have been the same old 'love thy neighbour, be nice to everyone' preaching that we all know, have all heard, and how would that make Maxilon come across as something 'more than' to us? He needs to seem better and more than human. Not just because he's a robot, but because we're meant to believe he could be the sort of person that could draw people to him, who could be "great than they are… / …something they can blame for the bad times and thank for the good times. Something they can worship," as Dreadstar describes him.
There's also some cynicism in how Starlin presents Maxilon and what people would want out of a messiah. It's a very superficial messiash: good looking, clean-cut, somewhat non-threatening… ultimately kind of bland. We're told that none of the regular Dreadstar crew would fit the bill for various reasons (too warrior-like, too ugly, too non-human, too blind). Look at the Lord High Papal and his hulking chalk white, no-nosed, bald, red-eyed appearance and notice that Dreadstar and Company aren't simply presenting an alternate choice, they're presenting a more appealing one — in a superficial sort of way. It's not the message that matters, it's that the message comes in an attractive package as well. Someone strong but non-threatening and handsome and human and male. He's not just a messiah, he's a pop star type.
Sometimes I'm surprised at how little controversy Starlin seems to create in his attacks on religion. I'm still amazed that Marvel let The Infinity Crusade happen, actually. The Church of Instrumentality not pissing off more people (that I'm aware of) is a surprise. The total lack of any attempt to hide that it's the Catholic Church would make for some angry Catholics, don't you think? The clergy in the Church wear the collars, their symbol is a modified cross, and their leader is called the Lord High Papal. Starlin draws upon the time of the Holy Roman Empire, I believe, for the Church of Instrumentality mostly since that was the Church's high point as a ruling empire, but that doesn't mean his attacks on the corrupt nature of the Church don't still ring true to a degree.
It's telling that the Lord Papal's reaction to Maxilon is one of anger and wanting to know everything about him, presumably with the plan of getting rid of him. That's another sign that somewhere in the Papal is a sincere faith. Because he's a believer, he can't see beyond the superficial elements of Maxilon. Z. on the other hand tells the King of the Monarchy exactly what Dreadstar is doing. He doesn't know that Maxilon is a robot, but he sees right through the plan, because he's not a man of faith. He's a cynic, he's a non-believer, and isn't taken in by the obvious ruse.
This issue features one of Starlin's better recaps with very little of what came before told to the reader. The recap is buried within a news report on the blockage, eventually letting us know that Dreadstar and Company are rebels fighting the Instrumentality and, then, their names and somewhat brief descriptions. It's an effective and strong way to catch the reader up to speed. Considering not much has actually happened in the series so far that's essential to know for this story, it makes sense to keep things brief.
Josef Rubenstein does the inks for this issue. Last issue, Al Milgrom did the inks and he was a better fit. The art here is less polished than usual, espcially when it's not a close-up panel. Rubenstein's line work isn't as smooth as Starlin or Milgrom's, giving characters a harder, less attractive look at times. On close-ups, he embellishes too much for my taste. His faces go the other way in those instances, having too much detailed, looking too refined. It's a style of opposites: either a panel will look underdrawn or overdrawn, very little in between.
This issue also began the brief Berni Wrightston back-up strip, but I've never read those and won't be discussing them. Sorry for those of you who are fans.
Tomorrow: beware the mindtrap!
The backup strip seems to be quite thoroughly forgotten.
Starlin's use of corrupt churches and organized religion as evil… well, it got a bit old after a while, dinnit? I mean it's basically the /same/ corrupt oppressive church every time, just with some different names and symbols.
Also, given what the HLP must know about the Twelve Gods, it's hard to see how he could be any kind of sincere believer.
Doug M.
It's hard to shake that core belief even when you know better, though. I don't think the Lord High Papal IS a sincere believer on the surface, I think it's still there, though, buried deep inside and still defines how he thinks to a degree.
I never really had any use for organized (or dis-organized) religion. I wouldn't stand in the way of a person's right to believe or not to believe in whatever religion they choose to believe.
Just as long as they don't break any laws or harm people in the name of religion.
Starlin still makes good story.
Do you really picture Z as a cynic, particularly when compared to High Lord Papal?
I'd guess the Instrumentality is based not on the Holy Roman Empire but the late, post-Constantine Roman Empire — or possibly the Catholic Church during the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Z never got developed much, which was a pity. However, hie comes from a race of planet-raping monsters, self-selected from the elite of a lost civilization. That suggests not so much cynicism as a sheath of arrogant bastard wrapped around hard core of utter selfishness.

The 1990 Lamont Selection is The City in Which I Love You by Li-Young Lee, who was born in Jakarta. In the 1950's, his father was a political prisoner for a time. The family fled Indonesia and Mr. Lee traveled through Hong Kong, Macau and Japan before coming to the United States when the poet was a child.

Secretary-General's message on World Wildlife Day: "Go Wild for Wildlife"
New York, 3 March 2014
For millennia, people and cultures have relied on nature's rich diversity of wild plants and animals for food, clothing, medicine and spiritual sustenance. Wildlife remains integral to our future through its essential role in science, technology and recreation, as well as its place in our continued heritage. That is why the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 3 March – the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) – as World Wildlife Day.
Despite its intrinsic value to sustainable development and human well-being, wildlife is under threat. Some of the world's most charismatic species, as well as lesser-known but ecologically important plants and animals, are in immediate danger of extinction. A major cause is habitat loss. Another is the increase in illicit trafficking.
The environmental, economic and social consequences of wildlife crime are profound. Of particular concern are the implications of illicit trafficking for peace and security in a number of countries where organized crime, insurgency and terrorism are often closely linked.
While the threats to wildlife are great, we can reduce them through our collective efforts. On this inaugural World Wildlife Day, I urge all sectors of society to end illegal wildlife trafficking and commit to trading and using wild plants and animals sustainably and equitably.
Let us work for a future where people and wildlife coexist in harmony. Let's go wild for wildlife!

The Detroit News is a daily news publication covering the state of Michigan. Along with The Detroit Free Press (owned by Gannett), The Detroit News is one of Detroit's two major daily newspapers. (The two papers' business operations are managed by the Detroit Media Partnership, which oversees business, marketing, and manufacturing operations while the newspapers keep separate editorial staffs.) The Detroit News boasts a daily circulation of about 180,000, and also operates on the Web through Detroit News Online. The paper was founded in 1873 and was acquired by Gannett in 1986. It was sold to MediaNews Group in 2005.
In an effort to reduce expenses, Detroit Media Partnership cut its home delivery of the Detroit News to twice a week in 2009. (The Free Press will also offer home delivery of its Sunday edition.) The paper continues to distribute news to readers online and publishes a smaller print edition available free at newsstands. The move came in response to declining readership and advertising revenue.
The joint operating agreement combines the papers' circulation and advertising functions, but the Detroit News and the Free Press continue to have separate newsrooms and independent editorial management.

Proxmox VE differential backups
Proxmox VE is a complete virtualization management solution for servers. You can virtualize even the most demanding application workloads running on Linux and Windows Servers. Checkout their page: proxmox.com
Due to lack of better backup functionality I prepared patches to support differential backups in Proxmox VE. These patches are in use for over a year.
Currently supported version is 4.2.
What are differential backups?
According to Wikipedia:
A differential backup is a type of data backup that preserves data saving only the difference in the data since the last full backup. (…) Another advantage, at least as compared to the incremental backup method of data backup, is that at data restoration time, at most two backup media are ever needed to restore all the data. This simplifies data restores as well as increases the likelihood of shortening data restoration time.
What my patches do?
My patches extends vzdump, xdelta3 and Web-GUI support. And yes, these patches fully support OpenVZ and KVM.
System administrator can use one additional parameter in Backup Jobs (Datacenter -> Backup -> Add/Edit) the Full Backup Every:
- By default this value is set to 0. Which simply means: use old behavior (always create full backups).
- But if you specify value larger than 0, for example 7. It will instruct the vzdump to create full backup once a week and use differentials for the rest.
Please consider the following example:
vzdump 101 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --compress lzo --storage local --node hvm --fullbackup 4
It will create full backup of VM101 every 4 days, compressed using lzo, stored on local storage.
How to install?
There are three files:

When everything went right, you'll see:
Proxmox VE 4.2 - differential backup support Kamil Trzcinski, http://ayufan.eu/, [email protected] PATCHED: /usr/share/pve-manager/ PATCHED: /usr/share/perl5/PVE/ Restarting PVE API Proxy Server: pveproxy. Restarting PVE Daemon: pvedaemon.
Download and install xdelta3. If you want to use LZOP compressor, you have to download my xdelta3 compilation.
wget http://ayufan.eu/projects/proxmox-ve-differential-backups/pve-xdelta3_3.0.6-1_amd64.deb dpkg -i pve-xdelta3_3.0.6-1_amd64.deb
However, if you paranoid about installing untrusted applications you can compile the package yourself. All the sources can be found here: pve-xdelta3-master.tar.bz2
Previous release of xdelta was 3.0.5. Please update to the newer one: 3.0.6.
And what about uninstall?
The procedure is simpler than installation. Type in the bash:
bash pve-4.2-diff-backup-addon revert
After a while, you'll see:

What about UPGRADE? (READ THIS)
This is important part. If you will ever want to upgrade your Proxmox installation (by apt-get dist-upgrade or apt-get upgrade) ALWAYS revert/uninstall patches. You will still be able to apply them afterwards.
How to apply new patch version?
- Use previous patch to revert changes.
- Download new patch version and apply as described before.
The results
The results are really astonishing! These are real word values:
VM full diff 1day diff 2days diff 3days diff 4days
You see the differences. The diff sizes strictly depends on the use of the VMs. Using differential backups I have backups from last month (full backup once a week, differential daily)
Why this is not upstream?
I tried to push the changes upstream. They were rejected by Dietmar:
We removed that feature 3 years ago. I have no plans to re-add that. We want to keep vzdump a simple tool.
But I thought that it would be really shame if I wouldn't go public with this.
Is it stable?
Yes, it is. This extensions uses xdelta3 as differential backup tool, which proven to be well tested and stable. I use it for about 9 months on 4 different Proxmox based servers. No problems so far.
However, if you happen to be paranoidal about backups… You should consider running following script. The script simply tries to verify all differential backups. I recently updated the script to support new VMA archive. So now you can verify backups all supported backups.
wget http://ayufan.eu/projects/proxmox-ve-differential-backups/pve-verify-backups
chmod +x pve-verify-backups
./pve-verify-backups <backup-dir>
In case of any problems applying or reverting patches you can always simple revert back to stock. Simply reinstall modified packages:
apt-get --reinstall install pve-manager qemu-server libpve-storage-perl
Then you can try to reapply patches once again.
In order to remove all leftovers you have to edit /etc/pve/vzdump.cron and remove fullbackup switch from vzdump command line.

The Nobel Prize Committee has officially nominated the war-renouncing Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, a civic group said Friday.
The Executive Committee for "The Nobel Peace Prize for Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution" promoted the campaign for the purpose through the Internet, and 13 advocates and one organization sent a recommendation to the Nobel Institute in Norway.
The institute informed the group, based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Wednesday evening it has officially accepted the recommendation, according to the group.
The winner of the peace prize will be announced Oct. 10.
Article 9 stipulates that Japan forever renounces war, noting, "Land, sea and air forces as well as other war potential will never be maintained."
"Calls are growing domestically that Japan should be allowed to exercise the right to collective self-defense, and pacifism faces a huge danger," 72-year-old Yoshiaki Ishigaki, co-representative of the group, said. "We hope to make an appeal for the magnificence of Article 9 at home and abroad."

"Church of the Dominican Monastery" Top 5 Page for this destination Sighisoara Things to Do Tip by HORSCHECK
Sighisoara Things to Do: 218 reviews and 529 photos
The Church of the Dominican Monastery (Biserica Manastirii Dominicane) was a part of an early 14th century Dominican Monastery complex. Nowadays only the church still exists as in 1888 all other buildings of the monastery had to make place for the current town hall.
Since 1556 the church functions as one of the town's main Lutheran churches. Similar to the Black Church in Brasov, also the interior of the Church of the Dominican Monastery is decorated with oriental carpets which were brought to the town by local merchants.
Entrance fee to the church is 2,00 RON. It includes access to an interesting small church museum, which has many exhibits from the town's Transsylvanian Saxon history on display.
The Church of the Dominican Monastery is located inside the historic old town. It stands in close neighbourhood to the Clock Tower.

Heard on the Field
'Super' Dallas Fans Upset About Tickets
Ticket holders who weren't given seats at Super Bowl XLV have inspired an uproar, but some fans who did get seats are equally upset. On Tuesday, an undisclosed number of Dallas Cowboys season-ticket holders filed suit against the team and its owner, Jerry Jones, claiming their Super Bowl seats offered a limited view of the field and weren't the top notch ones they say they were promised when they paid at least a $100,000 licensing fee for each of their Cowboys tickets. The Cowboys and the NFL declined to comment.

City faces challenge developing vast vacant lots
The Home Front
Its leap year 2012, a time to take a leap forward to look at the challenge Chicago faces in the future of developing its vast supply of vacant land.
One of the great questions Mayor Rahm Emanuel faces is what to do with the ever-growing real estate wilderness Chicagos vacant lots.
The city of Chicago estimates there are currently about 10,000 vacant lots on the South Side most of them stretching from McCormick Place around 22nd Street to Hyde Park and from Lake Michigan deep into Englewood. Thousands more vacant parcels can be found on the citys West Side.
However, William Lavicka, a master preservationist who heads Historic Boulevard Services, believes the citys land bank may contain more than 50,000 lots when both city-owned and privately owned vacant property on the South and West sides are taken into account.
Lavicka says city blocks ravaged by teardowns look like a mouth with missing teeth. If these properties could somehow be resurrected from the deep, dark fiscal hole of delinquency and put back on the active real estate tax rolls, then tens of millions of dollars in new revenue could be injected into the city budget.
Urban pioneer Lavicka, a tough, innovative guy who served in the Seabees during the Vietnam War, is still telling war stories about his adventures renovating abandoned properties on the Near West Side for the past 35 years.
In 2010, while renovating the Gut Heil Haus, a turn-of-the-century fortress-like building that formerly was a German Social and Athletic Club at 2431 W. Roosevelt Rd., Lavicka slept in the property at night armed with a baseball bat and a shotgun to guard its beautiful interior appointments.
The renovation of the old West Side German beer hall is just one of dozens of vintage properties Lavicka personally saved from the wrecking ball while serving as an urban commando.
His swashbuckling victories against the urban pirates range from helping save a row of mansions along the 1500 block of West Jackson Boulevard and obtaining landmark designation and listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to the spirited renovation of a dozen churches, including the Church of the Epiphany on Ashland and Adams.
These works of renovation and art are just a few of dozens lovingly outlined in Urban Structure, a self-published book authored by Lavicka to remember his lifes work in words and pictures accomplished over the past four decades. The book, completed while Lavicka struggled to recover from illness, is an amazing record of accomplishments by a creative and tenacious man.
Meanwhile, hundreds of properties are being deposited every month into the citys land bank by foreclosure-minded mortgage companies and banks who are seeking to rid their books of delinquent homes and apartments.
The process typically starts with abandonment, boarding up, and then foreclosure. But the blight and foreclosed properties are far from forgotten by the neighbors and the community.
With no hope for a resale to recoup the investment, the bankers neglect results in abandonment of the property. The weeds grow, the windows are smashed, and the building becomes an unsafe place for homeless people to squat, a drug house, or the site of a fire.
Eventually, this scenario forces the city to raze the property and reduce the banks real estate tax classification from improved property to vacant land, which is taxed at a much lower level. Often the land is just donated to the city for back taxes, or picked up in the tax scavenger sale.
Typically, the abandoned building also becomes a resource for Chicagos underground economy and is stripped of its valuable appliances, furnaces, light fixtures, copper pipe and electrical wire. Often, the urban pirates even take the hardwood floors, fireplace mantels and doors.
Even if an investor buys the abandoned building, secures it with guard dogs to protect the buildings improvements and begins to renovate the property, it sometimes isnt a happy ending. It is not uncommon for the dogs to be poisoned and killed by the urban pirates to scavenge the profits within.
Maybe Mayor Emanuel should put Lavicka, a champion of preservation, in charge of policing the citys junkyard of abandoned buildings.

The Pittsburgh Panthers and the Syracuse Orange have both applied to and been accepted as new members of the ACC, the conference announced today. The addition brings the ACC to a total of 14 schools.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse will each have to pay a $5 million dollar exit fee for leaving the Big East. In addition, Big East by-laws state that schools who leave the conference must provide 27 months' notice.
However, lawyers for both schools are expected to negotiate that time frame down. Otherwise they couldn't begin ACC play until the 2014 football season.
Various reports have also indicated that Texas and Texas Tech could move to the ACC. There are also rumors that current Big East schools Connecticut and Rutgers could apply to the conference.
For now, the ACC is at 14 schools and could very likely end up at 16. Both scenarios mean that the ACC will probably realign and change their division names. Currently the divisions are Atlantic and Coastal, but they could become a more geographical North and South.
It also means that the ACC's future football schedules will change. When the conference expanded to 12 with the addition of Boston College and Miami (FL), the format was set through the 2015 season.
It remains to be seen what this announcement means for the future of the Big East. The conference is now down to seven football schools, which includes the addition of TCU in 2012. If Rutgers and UConn were to move to the ACC, it would almost certainly be the end of the Big East as a football conference.
Football Schedules:
Everyone calls the SEC poachers for taking A&M but look what conference seems to steal teams all the time……BC, VT, Miami, Pitt and Syracuse. Anyone left in the Big East? WVU better hope the SEC comes calling soon.
Kudos to the ACC for getting a jump on expansion this time around before anyone else
ACC how about taking TCU get in on the fort worth market. Don't leave poor TCU hung out to dry again like in 1995 with the SWC.
There is going to be no one left in the Big East, this is ridiculous! They ought to just break it up now and spread out the teams that are left! This is not right and not fair to the teams that are now stuck in the Big East. And now asking for $20million to leave, should have changed that before Pitt and Syracuse decided to leave. USF needs to look to get out of there before WVU leaves!
The ACC page on this site needs to be updated
I think U.S.F. and West Virginia sould go to the S.E.C. and for Big 12 Missouri,Iowa State ,Kansas ,& Kansas State should go to the Big 10 Before the Hammer falls on the big 12 . Ifthe S.E.C. Will not take W.V. & U.S.F.or the Big 10 doesn't wont the othere 4 I said earlier W.V. & U.S.F. should go to The Big 10 .

LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw should have been slamming his helmet against the wall or breaking a bat in disgust or cursing out everyone in sight. Yet there he stood, in the hallway leading to the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse, dressed in a blue sweater, black slacks and dress shoes.
As he put his backpack over his shoulders, reporters filed into Joe Torre's office to ask the Dodgers' manager how his team squandered a 6-2 lead in the ninth inning to the New York Yankees, who went on to win 8-6 in 10 innings.
Kershaw wanted to leave, but he stood there. No more than 50 yards from the double-door exits, he stood and waited with his backpack on until reporters were done talking to Torre, so Kershaw could answer questions about another solid start wasted by the Dodgers, who have seemingly made it their job to find new ways to lose to American League opponents this season.
On Sunday, Kershaw allowed four hits and two runs while striking out five through seven innings, and he did not walk a batter for the first time in his career. His performance, however, will largely get lost on a night when Jonathan Broxton and the bullpen let him and the team down. After Broxton entered the game in the ninth inning with the Dodgers holding a four-run lead, he proceeded to give up four runs during a 48-pitch inning which seemed like it would never end. George Sherrill then allowed a two-run homer by Robinson Cano in the 10th, which gave the Yankees the improbable comeback win.
While Kershaw was denied his eighth win of the season, no one can deny the poise and control he demonstrated on the mound and in the clubhouse after the game.
"It's tough to watch at times, but I have confidence in Brox every time he's out there," Kershaw said. "Even when he was struggling, I felt that he was going to get out of the inning. It was just one of those nights when everybody had a bad night, and when you're a closer it gets highlighted even more."
There were plenty of Dodgers who had bad nights in a game which saw the team once again lose its composure, as Russell Martin and Garret Anderson were tossed during the Dodgers' unraveling. Kershaw, however, wasn't one of them.
Every now and then when Kershaw stands on the mound, he gives you a glimpse into his future and presumably the future of the Dodgers, as well.
Of course, that is if the Yankees don't swoop in and sign him to an astronomical contract as soon as he reaches his prime, as they've done with so many other players in the past.
Kershaw is the type of pitcher the Yankees would hand a blank check to today, if they could, and on Sunday he showed them firsthand why he's one of the best young pitchers in baseball and will no doubt have the word "young" removed from that description sooner rather than later.
In front of a crowd filled with more celebrities than a Lakers playoff game and against a lineup with the most accomplished (and hyped) hitters in baseball, Kershaw pitched one of the best games of his young career. He wasn't awestruck by the Yankees or the thousands of flashing lights every time Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez or Mark Teixeira came to the plate. He simply threw strike after strike after strike, 63 overall in 101 pitches.
Not only was Kershaw a calming presence on the mound, but he also helped his own cause when he came to the plate. Kershaw sacrificed three times against the Yankees, which is the most sacrifice bunts for any major league player this season and the most for a Dodger since Kershaw had three sacrifices on Sept. 8, 2008, against the San Diego Padres.
"There's a lot of hype involved when you're playing the Yankees and I'm sure they're used to it, but I tried to come into this like it was another game for me," Kershaw said. "They have a good lineup, don't get me wrong, but I just attacked them and didn't let anything else get to me."
Kershaw's jersey number (22) offers a constant reminder of how young he is, even if his mesmerizing curveball and blistering fastball leave you asking (sometimes demanding) far more than anyone realistically should of a pitcher his age.
It's understandable for Dodgers fans to expect Kershaw to be their ace now as opposed to later. It's reasonable to look to him as a savior even if he's still a student. It's logical to compare him to Sandy Koufax, as Torre did earlier this year, when thinking back to the last great Dodgers lefty with a blinding fastball and unhittable curveball.
Kershaw constantly gives you reason to shower him with such praise even though he rolls his eyes and shakes his head when he hears it. His turning point this season came May 4, when he retired only four of the 13 batters he faced against the Milwaukee Brewers, lasted just 1 1/3 innings and was charged with seven runs during a nine-run second inning. It was the shortest outing of his career and may have served as a wake-up call, as well.
In his next game, five days later, he was matched up against the Colorado Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez, who had a 6-0 record and a major league-leading 0.83 ERA. Kershaw responded with eight innings of two-hit ball in leading the Dodgers to a 2-0 victory.
Despite being deprived of the win on Sunday, his gem against the Yankees was perhaps his best performance since that game.
"What he's done to himself right now is great," Torre said. "He's been very good pitch count-wise, and that's been a change from earlier in the season. He's growing up before our eyes."
The knock against Kershaw for much of his career has been that he wastes too many pitches and walks too many batters. It seemed like an old concern as he meticulously navigated his way through seven innings while carving up the Yankees' lineup.
"He takes something from every start he makes," Torre said. "He's gradually gotten to the point where you expect something good out of him, and tonight was a good test for him going up against Andy Pettitte."
As he left Dodger Stadium, Kershaw, the youngest player on the team, seemed to be the most composed player on an agitated roster which has now lost 11 of the past 15 games.
"Some of the frustration was being let out at the wrong direction," he said. "It just shows the type of emotion this team has and how badly a lot of these guys have to win. You can't take that away from them, but we have to come to the park tomorrow and get after it. We'll be fine."

HHS students favor Obama
Published: Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 8:56 a.m.
For the students of Hendersonville High School, the choice is clear: Obama.
Photo Galleries
In a straw poll that wrapped up a weeklong symposium on the 08 election, 65 percent of the Bearcat students voted for Obama. In an electoral college vote set up as part of the study, Obama won 485-53.
HHS students have chosen the right candidate two out of the past three presidential elections, the re-election of President Bush being the only one they missed.
Since 1996, Hendersonville Highs social studies department has held the weekly symposium before presidential elections for students to learn in depth about the election process, candidates policies and the art of campaigning. Everything is explored, from the psychology of presidential advertising, where students study famous commercials to learn what methods were used to express their point, to lobbyists influence on certain issues.
The 2008 symposium culminated Friday as the student body, broken into groups representing the 50 states, voted for president.
First of all, we want them to understand the basics of the election process, said social studies teacher Kaye Youngblood. But we also want them to understand how blessed we all are to live in this country.
Decked out in red, white and blue, and plastered with campaign buttons theyd made throughout the week, the students listened to guest speakers U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, state Rep. Carolyn Justus and Paul Goebel, a retired HHS teacher who is running against Justus. They emphasized the importance of voting and having an active political life.
Following the speeches, students were given the opportunity to ask the guests questions that mattered to them, among them the economy.
They truly understand that if the economy is not strong theyre not going to have a good job, Shuler said. And having a strong economy and having a great vision for the future (is something) we have to make sure they have.
Another weeklong activity, The Down and Dirty Grassroots Political Action Game, involved students obtaining and spending money to push issues in Congress.
Regarding the $700 billion bailout plan, there was a slight edge in support of the bailout. McCains Healthcare Plan won more support than Obamas. Students opposed off-shore drilling and were adamantly against Obamas tax plan.
Students cared the most about an issue neither candidate has played up abortion. A third of all money spent was used for that issue. The students endorsed a proposed amendment outlawing abortions except in cases of rape, incest or when the health of the mother is at risk.
The weeklong event seemed to resonate with students.
Generally its hard for young people to get into politics because were so concerned with other things, said Corey Jones, a junior at HHS. And this gave us a chance to really get into it and it was just a fun experience.
As the crowds cheered for each states declaration of support for Obama or McCain during Fridays assembly and asked questions to their representatives, it was clear the student body of HHS cared not just about who would win the presidential race, but politics in general.
We hope students take elections seriously, that they look at the issues and which candidates support those issues and figure out how they should vote before they walk into the voters booth, said social studies teacher Jerry Smith. We also hope that this gives them faith in our country and that they can make a change in voting.

Not so fast, Jack Frost: How to beat the winter blues
For a bonus, Skis.com is offering a $50 gift certificate to anyone who signs up for a beginner lesson this month.
On average, equipment rentals range from $20 to $55 per day, depending on equipment quality and rental locations.
Curling patrons — a number that spikes every four years during the Olympics before sharply dropping off again — may be seen as participating in a sport that is in the league of so-called non-athletic activities like bowling. However, this game is harder than it looks.
Beginners can attend training sessions where they learn the fundamentals of the sport. Each is required to master the skills of sliding the stone (known as "throwing"), sweeping the brooms and launching out of the hack — a foothold on the ice that is similar to the starting blocks used in track and field.
Ultimately the aim is for the stone to land in the innermost concentric circle in an area on the sheet known as the house. The person launching the stone begins across the ice (called the "sheet") and is required to glide 20 plus feet from the hack to what is called the hog line, the area on the sheet where he releases the stone.
Once the stone is released, team members sweep brooms on the ice and scramble to keep up with the stone's speed, brushing feverishly to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone. When the stone needs to pick up speed, they'll hear calls of "Heavy! Harder!" from the team's captain. When the stone needs to slow down, the skip will cry, "Up!" indicating they should cease sweeping.
A curling team consists of a lead, who launches the first two stones; the second, who slides the third and fourth; the vice skip — or assistant team captain — who throws the fifth and sixth stones; and the skip — or team captain — who throws the final two stones.
Each team takes turns sliding their respective stones. The skip for each team stands in the house and holds their broom over the area where the stone should land, and coaches the sweeping of his team members. When it is the skip's turn to throw, the vice skip takes over the skip's responsibilities.
Thought this ice sport was only for Wii users and citizens of Canada? Think again. This sport of brushes and stones can be found in your backyard and for affordable prices. Find one of dozens of curling clubs nationwide.
This sport offers fun for the whole family with the bonus that it can be done in your backyard.
Snowshoeing offers an easy segue into winter activities. It's relatively inexpensive. Rentals range from $15-$30 per day at sporting goods stores. Once you bundle up, strap on your snowshoes and pick a trail, you're good to go. The shoes are generally lightweight and at times you feel as if you have nothing on your feet. The wide surface area of the shoes allows you to feel as if you're floating on the harder snow and is ideal for cruising through fresh powder.
All skill levels can participate in this sport, and given the activity's inherent lack of structure, it can be taken at any pace. Those looking for a leisurely winter stroll can snowshoe in their local park, while those looking to break a sweat can pick a mountain trail.
For more information on snowshoeing, visit trails.com.

Trellis Bioscience has granted MedImmune a worldwide, exclusive license to its preclinical-stage antibodies directed against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The deal could be worth up to $338 million to Trellis should a product resulting from this arrangement reach the market.
MedImmune, part of AstraZeneca, will pay Trellis an up-front cash payment as well as fees for potential development, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Trellis has advanced the antibodies to IND-enabling studies, and MedImmune will take over further preclinical and clinical development. MedImmune will also be responsible for worldwide commercialization, while Trellis stands to earn royalties.
MedImmune is also developing a vaccine to help prevent RSV. Additionally, last year it submitted an NDA for an anti-RSV antibody called motavizumab.
Trellis' RSV antibodies were identified using its CellSpot discovery platform, which allows high-throughput screening of human B cells in a multiplexed format. This enables identification and isolation of rare human antibodies produced from the B cells of RSV-infected patients, the company points out. CellSpot also allows for simultaneous measurement of up to 10 antibody characteristics from single antibody-secreting cells, including probes for specificity and affinity, Trellis continues.
With CellSpot, Trellis has focused on infectious diseases. The RSV program is the most advanced, followed by antibodies against cytomegalovirus that are at the lead-optimization stage. The company is also conducting lead identification in influenza and has two antibacterial programs at the target-validation stage.

War Criminal Nears Indictment
Charges against Libby would be a major step in unraveling cabal's Iraq plot — finally
What did George W. Bush know? When did he know it? That's irrelevant. He's the Harriet Miers — the cipher — of his own administration. As Scooter Libby's expected indictment later today nears, the real questions include these: What lies did U.S. CEO Dick Cheney want the American people to believe about Iraq? How did he and Libby, his chief aide and someone who sat in all the Iraq policy sessions, get that task done?
It really doesn't matter what Patrick Fitzgerald does or doesn't do. Keep checking his website for info, but that won't change the facts that we already know:
The Iraq debacle was the result of a plot by the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal to "fix" the intelligence to justify an unjustified invasion. After gushers of blood have drowned more than 2,000 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis, don't people finally get that?

Scooter Libby is Dick Cheney's top aide. He was involved not only in that plotting but in the plotting against Valerie Plame, wife of whistleblower Joseph Wilson. And so was Cheney himself.
Who cares what those two and Karl Rove had their front man Bush say to the public? What went on behind the scenes by the real decision-makers?
How fitting that this secondary plot centers on what did or didn't take place in Niger, one of the poorest places on Earth. Our government's dismissive treatment of the horrendous starvation in Niger early in the summer — even by our black Secretary of State Condi Rice — should have told us what would happen in late August, when Hurricane Katrina hit, when black people in our own country fell victim to a natural disaster and New Orleans got hit by devastating whitening strikes.
But let's go back to the unnatural disaster of Iraq. Watergate was a third-rate burglary — literally. But we all know its significance as an exemplar of abusive presidential power.
No matter what yakkers like David Gergen say on MSNBC or elsewhere — that this stuff doesn't rise to the level of a Watergate or Iran-Contra scandal — they're wrong. It does. Watergate, Bill Clinton's cum stains — those are mere specks compared with the abuse of presidential power by Bush's main handlers Cheney, Libby, Rove, and Rumsfeld. More on that later. In the meantime, bloody hands all around.
