Pool brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 78 Designs von 21 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
meinebillardkreide.de (german for "my billiard chalk") will be an online shop where billiard enthusiasts can order billiard chalk with various motives on the label, even with their own custom designs/logos. We are looking for a clear, original and professional logo, with a logogram/brand icon and the company name. The icon should stand for itself so we can use it with or without the company name.
meinebillardkreide.de is an online shop for personalized billiard chalk. The logo should show
- that it´s about the chalk (not billiards in general) and
- that it´s personalized/unique.Customers will be able to choose between motives which we provide and of course they can have their custom design/motive or photograph printed on the chalk label.
Although we like crisp and clear designs we are very open to all kind of ideas and styles. We will try to give as much feedback as possible. We like the concept of 99designs very much. We also know that a good result depends not only on your creativity but also on the communication between you and us. We´re looking forward to this process and are curious about your designs. So let´s go and create a great logo!
Payment will be Paypal and electronic transfer. If required we will check other methods.
- unique and professional logogram/brand icon with logotype "meinebillardkreide.de". "meine" and "billardkreide.de" must be visually separated (no space between, but different weight/color/new line/whatever)
- The icon should stand for itself so we can use it with or without the company name.
- Brand icon should nearly equal width and height (though it can be round/other form, of course). Why: We would like to print the icon on chalk as well, so the icon should fill out most of the quadratic space
- the brand icon should look clear even when printed very small (20mm x 20mm / 0.8 inch x 0.8 inch)
- logogram and logotype should be next each other, so it fits well into the head secion of the website
- clear font for the logotype, good readability
- chalk cube should be integrated, but it´s up to you how you do it. This is how a "normal" piece of chalk looks like, just for those of youwho never saw a piece of billiard chalk. We change the whole label, thecustomer can have a fully customized label with a custom background,his logo, webadress. See here for a picture of one of our prototypes.
- colors: no special color set required
- attributes: clean, modern, fun, professional
- target group: normal people like you and me who like to play billiard (most of them regularly) and like the idea of having something personal
- files: we need scalable files for print and online use, so please vector files CMYK (ai/svg and eps) and a pixel file RGB
- 8-Ball as an element. The logo shouldn´t stand for one kind of billiards (pool, snooker, carom) but for all kinds.

Linguine with Garlic, Prawns and Spinach
I feel lost when hubby isn't around and it can be lonely! So I decided to pay Amazon a visit and order two cookbooks to keep me company. I ordered Tana's Kitchen Secrets by Tana Ramsey and The Itailian Diet by Gino D'acampo. The books arrived yesterday and both are great and full of so many yummy recipes. I particularly love The Italian Diet coobook with 100 healthy Italian recipes to help you lose weight and enjoy food. I couldn't wait to try out some recipes from this book and tonight I tried the Linguine with garlic, prawns and spinach recipe.
This dish is so quick and easy, perfect for when you're starving and your tummy is grumbling. I loved this simple delicious low-fat pasta recipe and can't wait to make this for hubby on his return, he will definitely love this too. If you're a prawn and garlic lover then this one's for you.
On a side note, I weighed myself this morning and my healthy eating is paying off, I have lost 5lbs in the past 2 weeks!
Linguine with Garlic, Prawns and Spinach
Serves 4
300g linguine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, sliced
150g spinach leaves
400g uncooked prawns, peeled
4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered (I omitted these)
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat and fry the garlic for 1 minute until golden.
Add the spinach and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the prawns with the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir well and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the frying pan, then lower the heat.
Add the lemon zest and cherry tomatoes and stir everything together for
30 seconds.
Serve immediately.

First three ingredients are named meat products, grainfree
The first three ingredients in this food are named meat products. The first two of these are in meal form. The third is inclusive of water content. Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dry food product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight, and may be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list than indicated.
There are two further named meat meal ingredients, adding confidence that this product probably contains a decent amount of meat. We note that ocean fish meal is is present, but find no sign of a guarantee on the manufacturer website that this ingredient is free of ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly used to preserve fish meal ingredients, and which is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic.
The major starch source is potatoes. The product contains a small amount of fruit and an excellent range of probiotics. Tomato pomace is filler, but also a minor ingredient in the food.
Overall, this looks to be a decent quality product, with a decent amount of meat included. It is an entirely grain free product: Grains are not a natural part of a canine diet and it is pleasing to see dog foods on the market that exclude grains completely from the diet. Although we do not feel that it quite rates 6*, it appears a strong performer in the 5* category.

When Apple introduced the iPhone more than five years ago, the device was clearly hungry; it ate all of its competitors for lunch. The then-kingpins of the smartphone world never knew what hit them. HP bought Palm and killed it; RIM is on the ropes, and incumbent champion Nokia is now OS-beholden to Microsoft rather than charting its own course.
Nokia had limited success with its first run of Lumia Windows Phones, especially once it was revealed that it could not advance to Windows 8. So in many ways the Lumia 920 is Nokia's first smartphone that is genuinely capable of competing with iPhone. And a competitor it is; the Lumia 920 boasts a feature set that is plainly meant to grab attention. It's a workhorse and it's powered by the brand new Windows Phone 8. And right here it squares off with the newest from Cupertino: the thin, powerful and oh-so popular iPhone 5.
Continue on to see how the battle of Nokia Lumia 920 vs. Apple iPhone 5 plays out.

I'm not really new, but I never really introduced myself and thought I would. I also joined after being a very long-time lurker during my current deployment out here in Afghanistan and never took the time to browse the entire site to see that introductions were welcomed and somewhat common practice.
I'm Bronx.
I was born and bred there (the borough in New York City) and lived there for most of my youth and adolescence. However, I joined the military and escaped with a waiver.
As mentioned, I am currently deployed in Afghanistan. I am told I am a glutton for pain and misery, as I have been overseas now for the past decade plus between Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and my present location. For the better portion of these eleven years I was in, what I've seen referred to as, my Dark Ages. Survival took precedence, I guess.
I wish I could remember the exact MOC I saw here that truly floored me, but that is exactly what it did. I found myself really inspired and drawn right back into the Castle and historic theme I had always loved as a kid as if it were a singularity. Since then, and after finding BrickLink, I have been out of control.
What probably kept me from registering sooner is my total lack of bricks. My living quarters does not lend itself much space. So, any brick purchases I send back stateside with my childhood collection. I couldn't stay away, though, and would purchase a minifigure or three and send it here. That quickly spiraled out and I have been amassing large quantities of troops here.
My goal is to build up four or five factions (Dragon Masters, Crown Knights, Kingdoms Lion Knights and some custom groups) into the several-hundred range, and build each of their kingdoms while telling a story.
Anyone that has ever posted anything has really been great for inspiration and ideas on what I could do. It makes me excited to hopefully eventually return to my collection. It also lends to the possibility of me joining LCC or one of those type groups, as I don't feel I could presently do much other than showcase an army to support one of the groups. Unless that is what someone needs . . . in which case, call upon my banners.
This is a great community of exceptional builders, though, and I am glad I've joined. I'm looking forward to hopefully interacting with more of you.
Thanks for your time in reading my ramblings. Have a wonderful day and holiday season.
Very respectfully,

From PFT:
Atari Bigby signs his tender
Packers safety Atari Bigby will arrive to training camp on time to try to defend his starting strong safety job. A league source has confirmed to PFT that Bigby signed his restricted free agent tender on Tuesday. Adam Schefter of ESPN first reported the news. Bigby, a rangy but highly inconsistent player, is scheduled to earn $1.759 million. Rookie Morgan Burnett has impressed in minicamps and could challenge Bigby for playing time this year. Bigby makes big plays and is an asset in the running game, but too often was the cause of breakdowns in the secondary.
What struck me about this brief write-up was Rosenthal's use of the word "rangy" to describe Bigby. That's not accurate. Bigby can be inconsistent as Rosenthal points out, good against the run and can sometimes make big plays, yes – but "rangy" is simply not a word I'd use to describe Bigby.

Golden Globes red carpet hits and misses
The Golden Globes are typically considered the warmups to the Oscars, not as fancy given the evening's more relaxed format. But Sunday's ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel showed the entertainment world's A-list actresses intent on bringing their A-game.
Considering all the fuss they go to, we reserve the right to ponder and critique their efforts, just as we do their performances. So here are some musings on the red carpet parade.
Among the hits:
1. Tying for first place were two JMs: Julianne Moore in sleek black and white Tom Ford and Julianna Margulies' Emilio Pucci black gown, which was both revealing and covered up. Combining it with a high ponytail was clever styling. The pictures on the red carpet don't do Margulies' dress justice.

Annaconner brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 24 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Grow Towers
We are a small 4-person LLC, recently formed to promote our hydroponic growing towers. We have partnered w/the original designer of the towers and each of the other partners bring a background of sales and marketing to the whole. We all find ourselves utilitizing our skills to promote what we feel is a really well-made, useful product to those wanting to live a greener lifestyle. Most of us are coming into this from our backgrounds in other fields, several of us have had to reassess our careers in the wake of the housing crisis. Whereas before we used our building expertise to build homes, we are now building greenhouses used to grow produce with our towers year round. We have relocated the manufacturing of our product from China to our home here in Western NC. We currently are growing in our greenhouse, providing produce to a large supermarket chain. We are committed to providing the best American-made vertical growing towers on the market. Living near Asheville, which is a truly 'green' community, we feel like we are in the right place at the right time when so many people want to feel better and live better and will embrace this type of product. We are super excited about our future!
One of the things we are most proud of, and was the first focus for our group, was bringing the 'mold' for our towers back to the US for manufacturing. Quite simply, we found we could produce a commercial-grade product that was better made for about the same money AND still support our local economy. This is a very well made pot, better than most on the market (and, yes, we've checked!). So we are targeting everyone from mass production in greenhouses to the individual gardener at home. This product appeals to EVERYONE in that you don't have to have a sunny, flat area to grow. They grow upward, anywhere there's sun or in a greenhouse setting. There is so much potential for where this project can go...into schools, through classes at our greenhouse, this is just the beginning.
We are looking for a logo to represent our hydroponic grow tower system.
We want something that represents green living (so feel free to experiment with color) and the vertical nature of the product. We were envisioning something vertical possibly, but something easy to use within our print supplies as well. Also, keep in mind we see expanding in the future to include related towers for marketing: 'Flower Tower', etc. If the design can integrate other product names in the future, so they look related, that could be a plus.
More information and photos of our towers can be viewed at:
This is the website of the tower's original designer (now one of our partners). The photos you see in the greenhouses were taken in our facility here in Western NC.
I'm also attaching some logos we received recently. We did not care for orientation of these horizontally (when we are all about the vertical nature of the product).
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

A version of this entry appeared previously on Snarky's Machine
As a person who does not particularly enjoy unsolicited social engagement, I find myself locked in an epic battle to protect my precious SAUs (social attention units). I am constantly road testing strategies to ensure this adorable and accessible looking face doesn't start interactions this adorable and inaccessible mind is unable to sustain. If this is not your experience, I'm happy for you, but I can probably do without hearing all the ways in which this makes me "lucky". I don't feel lucky and if I don't moderate my time I'm exhausted when it's over and disappointed with myself I didn't fake labor in order to secure my escape.
One strategy I employ involves heavy use of my cellphone. Seriously, I will not leave my house without my phone and will always call someone and talk to them. People often try to talk to me in public places, asking for suggestions or making nice nice. Now, when I'm in the south, all this goes out the window cause it's real bad manners not to offer your opinion on the heat when asked by a southerner. Besides, they know when the conversation has run its course and are more than happy to mosey along their merry way.
The other strategy I employ is carrying around books. I read them in line and just about any place where there are a collection of strangers waiting for something to happen.
Here is Snarky's Trust me I've done the legwork approved list of books that guarantee your personal space bubble will not be breached.* Inclusion on the list does not constitute a recommendation – though nearly all were enjoyable to me – rather it simply means the title provided effective protection of SAUs.
Airports and such
- This would probably strike most as counterintuitive, but AIRPORT LIT is the best choice to avoid AIRPORT bubble breachers. I'm talking about pulling out the big guns: Crichton, Grisham, Balducci, Grafton and Cook. People often romanticize air travel believing anyone flying has the potential to be enthralling.
It's a great time to pick up a copy of A Time to Kill This Close Talking Assclown or S is for STEP OFF BUBBLE BREACHER.** The key here is the copy should be totally brand new, preferably purchased from the gift shop. Extra points for using the receipt as a bookmark. Additional note: obscure titles are generally less effective and tend to welcome rather than discourage conversation.
- "F" is for Fugitive (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries) by Sue Grafton
- Airframe by Dr. Michael Crichton
Waiting Rooms – Medical
- Since there is often a paucity of anything worth reading if you're not say a parent, gun enthusiast or a card carrying member of AARP, the selection of periodicals provided offer no immunity from bubble breachers whose first comment will involve noting the vintage of the magazines. If you ARE a parent, gun enthusiast or a card carrying member of AARP certainly your lived experiences are probably a lot more exciting than what could be found in those stale periodicals.
Books with provocative titles casting medical professionals or the profession in general in a rather unflattering light are the most effective. Your Dentist might not have read Marathon Man but it's likely they will know what is meant by the phrase "Marathon Man Dentistry". If this is the first time you're hearing this phrase, google is definitely your friend. I'll let you do the legwork on that one.
- Marathon Man by William Goldman
- Examining Tuskegee: The Infamous Syphilis Study and Its Legacy by Susan M. Reverby
- Coma by Dr. Robin Cook
Waiting Rooms – Other
- A diverse range of subjects are suitable for SAUs protection. I lean towards books overtly sexual in nature, though best selling "female" focused self help and astrology titles are useful as well. Car Dealerships are good places to bring out the feminist non fiction or a "Clown Horn" feminist work like Fear of Flying. There is something about a book exploring a woman's sexual awakening that will make people scoot away and redirect their attention to The Price is Right faster than you can utter "zipless fuck".
- The Joy of Sex by Alex Comfort
- Cathy Twentieth Anniversary Collection by Cathy Guisewite
- Oriental Girls Desire Romance by Catherine Liu
- Germs, Guns and Steel by Jared Diamond
- How to Spot a Bastard by His Star Sign: The Ultimate Horrorscope by Lang & Rajah
Coffeehouses, Bookstores and other "enlightened" spaces
- Since folks often venture to these establishments for the express purposes of imposing themselves on strangers Young Adult fiction is often the best bet. Nothing thwarts this particular strain of breacher like the idea that you just might not be very well read.
- Love & Betrayal & Hold the Mayo (Victoria Martin Trilogy) by Francine Pascal
- Sooner or Later by Bruce and Carole Hart
- Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack by M.E. Kerr
- "Offensive" titles are the strongest weapon in the bubble breach protection arsenal. Think of them as broad spectrum antibiotics to be used judiciously.
- Hoochie Mama: The Other White Meat by Erika Lopez
- Razor Wire Pubic Hair by Carlton Mellick
- Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria by Beverly Daniel Tatum
- The Killing Rage: Ending Racism by bell hooks
* offer void where prohibited. some restrictions may apply.
** actual titles may vary. check local outlets for similar products available in your area.

Treaty of Accession to the European Union [Official Journal L 157 of 21.06.05]
In its July 1997 Opinion the European Commission took the view that the transposal of the Community acquis in the field of direct taxation should not pose major difficulties for Romania. As regards indirect taxation, the Commission requested Romania to make a sustained effort to comply with the acquis on VAT and excise duties in the medium term, although progress had already been made in some areas. It also felt that Romania should be able to participate in the mutual assistance arrangements as its tax authorities developed their expertise in this area.
The November 1998 Report noted that some progress had been made in the VAT field but stressed that efforts needed to be sustained in this area and in that of excise duties with a view to full alignment with the acquis. Further efforts were needed to strengthen the effectiveness of the tax authorities.
The 1999 Report indicated that Romania should continue its efforts to align its legislation with the acquis. The tax administration needed restructuring in order to improve its capacities and administrative cooperation. Tax reform, which would entail reducing VAT exemptions and increasing excise duty levels, was essential.
The 2000 Report noted that further alignment had been achieved in the area of VAT. The number of exemptions had been reduced and the charges and rates concerning the establishment of free zones had come under the standard system. Certain transactions formerly subject to a reduced rate were now exempt, and the scope of exemptions had been extended (construction of new buildings or buildings intended for religious purposes, extension or repair of existing accommodation). A procedure for VAT refunds had entered into force for foreign airlines and specific regimes for second-hand goods and tourism had been introduced. The VAT regime for property transactions had been brought into line with the acquis. A single rate of 19 % was now in force. With regard to excise duty, the system had been reformed but the rates applied to all products were below the minimum rates laid down by the EU. As far as mineral oils were concerned, the scope had been extended to include certain fuels (liquid fuel, diesel and oil) but a specific exemption had been granted to these fuels when they were intended for domestic use. With regard to direct taxation, the tax on company profits had risen to 25%, although a more favourable rate of 5 % was applied to profits from exports. In terms of administrative cooperation and mutual assistance, the pilot scheme had been extended to the entire country on 1 January 2000 and a new harmonised tax return had been introduced.
The 2001 Report noted that Romania had made some progress, especially on excise duties. The specific duty on cigarettes had increased, although the rate was still below the EC minimum. A single rate of excise duty had been introduced for all types of alcohol and alcoholic drinks. However, there had been no improvement in the alignment of VAT legislation. The same applied to direct taxation. Nonetheless, Romania had continued to modernise its tax administration by establishing training programmes and introducing IT systems.
The October 2002 Report stressed the progress made by Romania, especially in terms of aligning its VAT legislation. In June 2002, a consolidated law on VAT was adopted and the new legislation on excise duties entered into force in January 2002. Romania had also continued to modernise its tax administration and improve the revenue collection system. However, no progress was noted in the area of administrative cooperation and mutual assistance.
The 2003 report noted some progress on alignment with the tax acquis and in the field of administrative reform. However, it pointed out that Romania needed to keep up the pace of transposition in all areas of the acquis and devote particular attention to reforming and modernising its tax administration. It also needed to work on improving its IT systems.
In 2003 negotiations on the tax chapter were closed provisionally. Romania was granted a transitional period (up to December 2009) to apply the minimum excise rates to cigarettes. It was also allowed a derogation authorising it to apply special excise arrangements to the distillation of fruit spirit by small fruit growers. Other derogations were granted concerning VAT exemption for international passenger transport and VAT exemption and the registration threshold for small and medium-sized businesses. Overall Romania was meeting its commitments and requirements under the accession negotiations for this chapter.
The 2004 Report noted that Romania should continue its efforts to align its legislation with the acquis. Romania had consolidated its existing laws into a single Tax Code that entered into force on 1 January 2004 and provided for continuing alignment in various fields. The new tax procedure Code also entered into force on 1 January 2004. Other efforts were deemed necessary to complete these projects and reinforce administrative capacity.
The 2005 Report shows that Romania is generally abiding by its commitments in the fields of VAT, excise duties and direct taxation. Romania needs to complete legislative alignment on the acquis in several areas, such as the modernisation of its tax administration.
The Treaty of Accession was signed on 25 April 2005 and accession took place on 1 January 2007.
The Community acquis in the area of direct taxation mainly concerns some aspects of corporation taxes and capital duty. The four Treaty freedoms have a greater impact on national tax systems.
The legal framework for indirect taxation consists primarily of harmonised legislation in the field of value added tax and excise duties. This includes the application of a non-cumulative general tax on consumption which is levied at all stages in the production and distribution of goods and services and requires equal tax treatment of all domestic and import transactions. In the field of excise duties, the acquis consists of harmonised tax structures and minimum rates of duty together with common rules on the holding and movement of excisable goods (including the use of tax warehouses).
Finally, the Community legislation in the area of administrative co-operation and mutual assistance provides tools to avoid intra-Community tax evasion and tax avoidance for both direct and indirect taxation.
Value-added tax
Romania's current VAT system incorporates the main principles of Community legislation. Recent changes include reducing the scope of exempt transactions, eliminating differences in taxation between imported services and similar domestic services and redefining the provisions governing exemptions for the export of goods, passenger transport and certain other services. The dual VAT rates in Romania have been increased to 22% and 11% respectively.
In 1999 VAT exemption was abolished in a number of areas, for example, land rental and health services. A reduced rate was applied to bread, advertising and newspaper selling (which were exempt until October 1998). A procedure was introduced for reimbursing VAT to taxpayers not residing in the country.
In 2000, the VAT legislation respected the EU principles in general but it needed to be adjusted again and supplemented in order to conform fully with the acquis.
In 2001, substantial harmonisation was still required in the field of VAT.
A consolidated law on VAT was adopted in June 2002, introducing a comprehensive definition of taxable persons, reducing the list of incompatible VAT exemptions, introducing VAT exemptions provided for under the acquis and providing for heavy criminal penalties for fraud on VAT refunds. In spite of this progress, alignment remained incomplete in a number of areas, particularly exempted activities - with or without the right to deduction. There were also some rules that were incompatible with the acquis, including the general rules on the chargeability of the tax, rules on the place of taxation, and rules on the payment of VAT. Romania still had to transpose provisions concerning the special VAT regimes.
In 2003 limited progress was made with VAT. Alignment with the acquis was not yet completed, particularly as regards exemptions, taxable persons, chargeability of the tax, the place of taxation, imports, payment of VAT and the introduction of the special VAT regimes provided for in the acquis.
However, the amendments to VAT legislation did introduce some VAT exemptions (letting and leasing of certain immovable property, provision of goods and services to the NATO armed forces). The definitions of the place of taxation for telecommunications, broadcasting and electronically supplied services were aligned with the acquis. Measures were also taken to implement a system of ex-post controls on the management of VAT refunds, significantly reducing the period for effecting the refunds.
In 2004 the new Tax Code introduced a reduced rate of 9%, which the acquis allows. In this context a number of VAT exemptions, contrary to Community legislation, that had been applied previously to a whole range of goods and services, were abolished and replaced by the reduced rate. VAT exemptions were introduced for the supply of goods in the context of diplomatic and consular relations, imports by international organisations and goods placed under the duty suspension arrangements, as provided in the acquis. Lastly, barter transactions were included within the scope of VAT, bringing these provisions into line with the acquis.
Further effort is still needed, particularly regarding exempt activities, taxable persons and special regimes. The VAT exemption and SME registration thresholds need to be reduced to the level agreed on during the negotiations. Provisions on intra-Community transactions also need to be prepared.
In 2005, Romania made progress by removing a number of VAT exemptions incompatible with the acquis. Increased efforts are required to guarantee complete alignment at VAT legislation. VAT registration and exemption thresholds must be standardised in line with the provisions of the Accession Treaty.
Excise duty
Excise duties are now largely regulated by legislation adopted since July 1997 to bring the country's excise rules more into line with Community requirements. New duty structures have been introduced and the fiscal supervision system for the production and distribution of alcohol has been extended. Other measures include the regrouping of products and product groups and a review of the taxation base. The rates of duty for important product groups (spirits and tobacco) have mostly been brought in line with the acquis.
Although the structure of Romanian legislation was increasingly brought into line with the Community arrangements throughout 1998, differences continued to exist, such as the absence of a duty suspension system and tax warehouses. Romania also applied very low rates compared with Community rates.
In September 1999, the Government decided to use the euro as the reference base for calculating excise duty (in 1998 Romania had used its own currency). The system of excise duty on tobacco, introduced in 1998, discriminated against foreign products.
Certain changes in 2000 enabled Romania to come closer to the acquis but it was far from alignment in terms of the minimum rates. As regards tobacco, alcohol and mineral oils, the Commission considered that it would be several years before legislation was brought into line.
In 2001, although some progress was made concerning excise duty rates, Romanian legislation still needed to be adjusted in relation to the structure of duties, exemptions and the rates applied.
New legislation on excise duties entered into force in January 2002. Excise duties were increased for all harmonised product categories and the definitions were reviewed, bringing them closer to the acquis. The taxable regime applicable to alcohol was unified, with the same duty rate applied to both ethyl alcohol and spirits. A major effort was still needed however, mainly regarding the alignment of the scope of exemptions and of the rates and structure of all harmonised product categories.
In 2003 Romania continued the gradual alignment of excise duties for all harmonised product categories although the duty rates applied remained well below the EU minima stipulated in the acquis. A major effort still needed to be made, particularly as regards alignment of the scope of exemptions and of the duty rates and structure of all harmonised product categories.
Romania started registration and authorisation of tax warehouse keepers in October 2003.
In 2004 the major change introduced by the Fiscal Code was the introduction of the duty-suspension regime and the definition of tax warehouses. This constitutes a major step towards alignment with the acquis. The Code also aligned mandatory exemptions with those stipulated in the acquis, as well as the exemptions for alcohol products. The structure of the duty on wines, fermented beverages and intermediate products has been aligned with the acquis. However, significant efforts are still required, in particular with regard to the level of the rates applied to the harmonised product categories, and the scope of exemptions for mineral oils. Romania should also take account in its legislation of the limits of the transitional period agreed during negotiations on spirits produced from fruits and grapes for own consumption.
In April 2005, Romania increased excise duties on tobacco products, alcohol and mineral oils, in line with its commitments. The EU minimum rate for mineral oils has already been reached.
Romania still has to adopt legislation introducing the reduced excise duty rate (50%) on distillation for own consumption by small fruit growers.
Efforts are still required to transpose the provisions on intra-community movements for all the harmonised product categories, and to adopt the Energy Directive.
Administrative capacity
Tax collection has deteriorated significantly in recent years and now contributes only 30% of the State budget. Control procedures for tax administration have been improved. Implementation of the reforms will, however, depend on strengthening the tax authorities at central and local levels. Cooperation and communication are needed with customs, financial authorities and the other institutions concerned.
Since 1998, the new legislation has shown a separation between the rules of procedure and the tax provisions. A tax procedures code has been drafted and a department to help taxpayers has been set up. Other measures have been taken to promote cooperation between national authorities and in the field of training. Nonetheless, the Commission Report for 1999 showed that the administration still exhibited weaknesses concerning the formulation of policies and tax collection.
Although the organisation of the tax administration improved in 2000, further modernisation was required. Despite the efforts made in 2001, Romania's administrative capacities were still inadequate.
In 2002, measures were taken to reduce tax arrears. Assistance and information to tax payers were further developed. A strategy to improve the administrative capacity of the tax administration was also approved in February 2002. The strategy covers the period until December 2006 and will be revised each year. Romania also committed itself to develop a code of ethics by mid-2003.
Despite this progress, the administrative capacity of the Romanian tax authorities remained weak and fraud on VAT refunds reached significant proportions. The revenue collection and the refund systems were in need of major improvement. The drafting and application of the code of ethics needed to be given high priority in order to address corruption issues and improve administrative practices.
The administrative capacity of the Romanian tax authorities remained weak in 2003 and fraud on VAT refunds was significant. Romania needed to continue modernising its tax administration, improving its revenue collection and refund system and developing an effective audit system based on risk analysis. It also needed to give priority to drafting and applying a code of ethics to address corruption issues and improve administrative practices.
However, Romania did carry out useful restructuring of its tax administration. It brought together in a single department the three administrations responsible for levying, monitoring and recovering social security payments and set up a National Fiscal Administration Agency, whose main responsibilities include tax collection, tax control and maintaining the register of taxpayers.
On the other hand, no significant progress was made on administrative cooperation and mutual assistance.
No substantial progress can be reported for 2004 either in the field of administrative cooperation and mutual assistance. With regard to information technology (IT) and interconnectivity, an important IT modernisation programme is underway to address both the IT operational capacity and interconnectivity issues. A National Agency for Fiscal Administration was set up, and became operational in January 2004. In February an Action Plan for 2004 was approved for the Agency. With regard to tax collection capacity, an IT-based database of taxpayers has been developed, containing all obligations and outstanding dues for each taxpayer.
In 2005, significant delays occurred in setting up the information exchange system and IT interoperability obligations. The National Agency for Fiscal Administration (NAFA) is now almost solely responsible for the collection of all revenues for the consolidated state budget. As stated in the report, the administrative capacity of the Romanian tax administration needs to be improved significantly. The level of tax collection in Romania is still low and the control capacity of the administration weak, particularly regarding VAT.
Direct taxation
As far as direct taxation is concerned, the November 2000 report noted that consideration should be given to whether the special tax rate applied to profits from exports was compatible with the rules of the Community and the WTO. In 2001, Romanian legislation had yet to comply with the principles of the Code of Conduct for Business Taxation.
A revised profit tax law was adopted in June 2002. Following the timetable laid down in this law, the reduced rate of 5% applicable to profits on exports was increased to 12.5%. Similarly, certain tax facilities for SMEs and taxpayers established in disadvantaged areas and free zones would also be gradually eliminated.
Romania adopted no new legislation on direct taxation in 2003, but needed to continue to align its legislation to eliminate potentially harmful tax measures.
No progress can be reported for 2004 on the transposition of the relevant EU directives. Romania still needs to transpose the Directive on interest and royalty payments and the savings Directive, and complete transposition of the parent-subsidiary Directive. Romania should also only introduce new tax measures which are in line with the principles of the Code of Conduct for business taxation, and will have to remove, at the latest upon accession, all harmful tax measures, so as to comply with the Code of Conduct to the same extent as current Member States.
In 2005, Romania made no progress in completing the transposition of the Directives concerning direct taxes. Concerning the taxation applicable to interest and royalty payments, Romania was granted a transitional period until 1 January 2011.

Oklahoma's football schedule one of the toughest — again
IRVING, Texas — Of all the traditional top 10 teams, Oklahoma probably plays the toughest non-conference schedule. In the last three years, it has played Cincinnati and Texas Christian at home, Brigham Young on a neutral field and at Miami (Fla.) and Washington.
This year is no exception. After opening against Utah State, the Sooners host Florida State and Air Force then visit Cincinnati. The strategy worked in 2004 when their tougher schedule helped them edge Auburn for second in the BCS standings and a spot in the title game.
In contrast, Florida, for example, has played the likes of Charleston Southern, Troy, Florida International, Hawaii, The Citadel, Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic. This year, Florida hosts Miami of Ohio, South Florida and Appalachian State.
"I'm not sure I embrace it anymore," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "But in the end, (athletic director) Joe (Castiglione) and I felt when we put it all together, other than this past year, we've been in the top 10 usually. We feel there's always a marquee game or two and if you're going to be that kind of team you play those kinds of teams.
"Again, I don't know how much it advantages you. In the end, you lose one game by a point to one of those teams and someone else plays four teams that are easy and you have one more loss than they do, they'll be ranked ahead of you.
"Everybody talks about it now but at the end of the year it doesn't happen. Most of you guys rank them by who's lost and who hasn't and forget about who played who."
Stoops said he can't alter the philosophy if he wanted to.
"We're pretty far out with our (scheduling)," Stoops said before joking, "It'll probably be the next coach. It might change for him."

Java 5's DelayQueue
The queue classes in the Java 5 package java.util.concurrency package provide solutions for common queuing needs. The DelayQueue class provides a blocking queue from which objects cannot be removed until they have been in the queue for a minimum period of time.
Elements in the DelayQueue must be of type java.util.concurrent.Delayed, an interface that requires two methods to be defined:
getDelay, a method that returns how much time is left before the delay completes, and
compareTo. The Delayed interface extends the java.lang.Comparable interface, so Delayed implementations must specify how they should be ordered with respect to other Delayed objects.
As an example, consider a fax server tied to a single phone line. The outgoing phone line can handle only one call at a time, and transmitting a fax takes many second or even minutes. The fax server cannot lose any incoming fax requests while the server is currently transmitting.
As a simple solution, the server can place all incoming fax requests in a queue, returning immediately to the client requesting the transmission. A separate thread on the server pulls entries off the queue and processes them in the order received. When a request is initially made, it's marked to indicate that it should be sent without delay.
When attempting to send a fax, sometimes the line is busy or the line drops during transmission. If a fax transmission attempt fails, the fax server must place the transmission request back into the queue. At this point, the server marks the request with a delay period (ten seconds, in the below implementation). This wait period allows for the remote connection to be reset or to become available. The wait period also allows for other waiting faxes to have a opportunity to attempt transmission.
The below code demonstrates use of the DelayQueue as the core of a fax server implementation. The building block classes of this application are Fax, Dialer, and Transmitter. In fact, Dialer and Transmitter are represented here as just interfaces--we're not not concerned with the communication details. These interfaces are shown in Listing 1, as well as the definition of a simple thread utility class used by other code in this example. Listing 2 shows the Fax class, a simple data class.
Listing 1. Dialer and Transmitter interfaces; ThreadUtil.
// Dialer.java public interface Dialer { boolean connect(String number); } // Transmitter.java public interface Transmitter { void send(Fax fax); } // ThreadUtil.java package util; public class ThreadUtil { public static void pause(int seconds) { try { Thread.sleep(seconds * 1000L); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } }
Listing 2. The Fax class.
public class Fax { private String to; private String from; private String text; public Fax(String to, String from, String text) { this.to = to; this.from = from; this.text = text; } public String to() { return to; } public String from() { return from; } public String text() { return text; } public String toString() { return String.format("[fax to: %s from: %s]", to, from); } }
The meat of the application is in the FaxServer (Listing 3) and FaxTransmission (Listing 4) classes. A FaxTransmission holds onto a Fax object, and contains the logic to determine whether a Fax needs to wait. I'll provide more details on the FaxTransmission class shortly. The FaxServer encapsulates a DelayQueue that stores FaxTransmission objects.
Listing 3. The FaxServer class.
import java.util.concurrent.*; public class FaxServer { private DelayQueue<FaxTransmission> queue = new DelayQueue<FaxTransmission>(); private Dialer dialer; private Transmitter transmitter; public FaxServer(Dialer dialer, Transmitter transmitter) { this.dialer = dialer; this.transmitter = transmitter; } public void start() { new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { while (true) { try { transmit(queue.take()); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } } }).start(); } private void transmit(FaxTransmission transmission) { if (dialer.connect(transmission.getFax().to())) { System.out.printf("sending %s.", transmission); transmitter.send(transmission.getFax()); System.out.println("completed"); } else { System.out.printf( "busy, queuing %s for resend%n", transmission); transmission.setToResend(); queue.add(transmission); } } public void send(Fax fax) { System.out.printf("queuing %s%n", fax); queue.add(new FaxTransmission(fax)); } }
A client requests a Fax to be sent by calling the
send method on FaxServer. The FaxServer code wraps the Fax object in a FaxTransmission, which then gets enqueued on the DelayQueue. Control returns immediately to the client.
A separate thread on the server, defined in the
start method, loops infinitely. The body of the loop calls the method
take against the DelayQueue object. This call blocks until there is an appropriate element to remove from the queue (i.e. one that has waited the specified minimum amount of time):

So it turns out that J.R. Smith isn't the only basketball player to have untied an opponent's shoes during free throws. A couple decades ago, another trash-talking, non-urban volume shooter pulled the same stunt, and somehow managed not to get written up by a professional sportswriter as a cross between Curly Neal and the lamb-horned beast from the earth. Shame on you, Larry Bird.
Bird and Person continued their personal battle. At one point when Bird was out of the game and lying on his towel in front of the bench, he reached over and untied Person's shoelaces as the Pacer waited for a free throw at the other end.
That's from Jack McCallum's Unfinished Business, excerpted earlier today on The Stacks. McCallum is writing about Bird's jousting with Indiana's Chuck Person during the first round of the playoffs in 1991. Bird got off without a fine, so far as we can tell. Once upon a time, the NBA wasn't so afraid of itself.

=== Container creation ===
Revision as of 12:40, 30 December 2019
Linux Containers (LXC) is an operating-system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host (LXC host). It does not provide a virtual machine, but rather provides a virtual environment that has its own CPU, memory, block I/O, network, etc. space and the resource control mechanism. This is provided by the namespaces and cgroups features in the Linux kernel on the LXC host. It is similar to a chroot, but offers much more isolation.
Alternatives for using containers are systemd-nspawn, docker or rktAUR.

Privileged containers or unprivileged containers
LXCs can be setup to run in either privileged or unprivileged configurations.
In general, running an unprivileged container is considered safer than running a privileged container, since unprivileged containers have an increased degree of isolation by virtue of their design. Key to this is the mapping of the root UID within the container to a non-root UID on the host, which makes it more difficult for a hack inside the container to lead to consequences on the host system. In other words, if an attacker manages to escape the container, he or she should find themselves with limited or no rights on the host.
The Arch linux, linux-lts and linux-zen kernel packages currently provide out-of-the-box support for unprivileged containers. Similarly, with the linux-hardened package, unprivileged containers are only available for the system administrator; with additional kernel configuration changes required, as user namespaces are disabled by default for normal users there. This article contains information for users to run either type of container, but additional steps may be required in order to use unprivileged containers.
An example to illustrate unprivileged containers
To illustrate the power of UID mapping, consider the output below from a running, unprivileged container. Therein, we see the containerized processes owned by the containerized root user in the output of
[root@unprivileged_container /]# ps -ef | head -n 5 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 17:49 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/init root 14 1 0 17:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald dbus 25 1 0 17:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation systemd+ 26 1 0 17:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd
On the host, however, those containerized root processes are actually shown to be running as the mapped user (ID>100000), rather than the host's actual root user:
[root@host /]# lxc-info -Ssip --name sandbox State: RUNNING PID: 26204 CPU use: 10.51 seconds BlkIO use: 244.00 KiB Memory use: 13.09 MiB KMem use: 7.21 MiB
[root@host /]# ps -ef | grep 26204 | head -n 5 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD 100000 26204 26200 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/init 100000 26256 26204 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald 100081 26282 26204 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation 100000 26284 26204 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind
Required software
Installing lxc and arch-install-scripts will allow the host system to run privileged lxcs.
Enable support to run unprivileged containers (optional)
Users wishing to run unprivileged containers on linux-hardened or their custom kernel need to complete several additional setup steps.
Firstly, a kernel is required that has support for User Namespaces (a kernel with
CONFIG_USER_NS). All Arch Linux kernels have support for
CONFIG_USER_NS. However, due to more general security concerns, the linux-hardened kernel does ship with User Namespaces enabled only for the root user. You have two options to create unprivileged containers there:
- Start your unprivileged containers only as root.
- Enable the sysctl setting
kernel.unprivileged_userns_cloneto allow normal users to run unprivileged containers. This can be done for the current session with
sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1and can be made permanent with sysctl.d(5).
Enable the control groups PAM module by modifying
/etc/pam.d/system-login to additionally contain the following line:
session optional pam_cgfs.so -c freezer,memory,name=systemd,unified
Secondly, modify
/etc/lxc/default.conf to contain the following lines:
lxc.idmap = u 0 100000 65536 lxc.idmap = g 0 100000 65536
Finally, create both
/etc/subuid and
/etc/subgid to contain the mapping to the containerized uid/gid pairs for each user who shall be able to run the containers. The example below is simply for the root user (and systemd system unit):
Host network configuration
LXCs support different virtual network types and devices (see lxc.container.conf(5)). A bridge device on the host is required for most types of virtual networking.
LXC comes with its own NAT bridge (lxcbr0).
To use LXC's NAT bridge you need to create its configuration file:
# Leave USE_LXC_BRIDGE as "true" if you want to use lxcbr0 for your # containers. Set to "false" if you'll use virbr0 or another existing # bridge, or mavlan to your host's NIC. USE_LXC_BRIDGE="true" # If you change the LXC_BRIDGE to something other than lxcbr0, then # you will also need to update your /etc/lxc/default.conf as well as the # configuration (/var/lib/lxc/<container>/config) for any containers # already created using the default config to reflect the new bridge # name. # If you have the dnsmasq daemon installed, you'll also have to update # /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxc and restart the system wide dnsmasq daemon. LXC_BRIDGE="lxcbr0" LXC_ADDR="10.0.3.1" LXC_NETMASK="255.255.255.0" LXC_NETWORK="10.0.3.0/24" LXC_DHCP_RANGE="10.0.3.2,10.0.3.254" LXC_DHCP_MAX="253" # Uncomment the next line if you'd like to use a conf-file for the lxcbr0 # dnsmasq. For instance, you can use 'dhcp-host=mail1,10.0.3.100' to have # container 'mail1' always get ip address 10.0.3.100. #LXC_DHCP_CONFILE=/etc/lxc/dnsmasq.conf # Uncomment the next line if you want lxcbr0's dnsmasq to resolve the .lxc # domain. You can then add "server=/lxc/10.0.3.1' (or your actual $LXC_ADDR) # to your system dnsmasq configuration file (normally /etc/dnsmasq.conf, # or /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/lxc.conf on systems that use NetworkManager). # Once these changes are made, restart the lxc-net and network-manager services. # 'container1.lxc' will then resolve on your host. #LXC_DOMAIN="lxc"
Then we need to modify the LXC container template so our containers use our bridge:
lxc.net.0.type = veth lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0 lxc.net.0.flags = up lxc.net.0.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx
Install dnsmasq which is a dependency for lxcbr0. Enable and/or start
lxc-net.service to use the bridge.
Optionally create a configuration file to manually define the IP address of any containers:
Container creation
Containers are built using
lxc-create. With the release of lxc-3.0.0-1, upstream has deprecated locally stored templates.
To build an Arch container, invoke like this:
# lxc-create -n playtime -t download -- --dist archlinux --release current --arch amd64
For other distros, invoke like this and select options from the supported distros displayed in the list:
# lxc-create -n playtime -t download
haveged.service to avoid a perceived hang during the setup process while waiting for system entropy to be seeded. Without it, the generation of private/GPG keys can add a lengthy wait to the process.
-B btrfs to create a Btrfs subvolume for storing containerized rootfs. This comes in handy if cloning containers with the help of
lxc-clone command. ZFS users may use
-B zfs, correspondingly.
Container configuration
The examples below can be used with privileged and unprivileged containers alike. Note that for unprivileged containers, additional lines will be present by default which are not shown in the examples, including the
lxc.idmap = u 0 100000 65536 and the
lxc.idmap = g 0 100000 65536 values optionally defined in the #Enable support to run unprivileged containers (optional) section.
Basic config with networking
System resources to be virtualized/isolated when a process is using the container are defined in
/var/lib/lxc/CONTAINER_NAME/config. By default, the creation process will make a minimum setup without networking support. Below is an example config with networking supplied by
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-archlinux # Parameters passed to the template: # For additional config options, please look at lxc.container.conf(5) # Distribution configuration lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/common.conf lxc.arch = x86_64 # Container specific configuration lxc.rootfs.path = dir:/var/lib/lxc/playtime/rootfs lxc.uts.name = playtime # Network configuration lxc.net.0.type = veth lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0 lxc.net.0.flags = up lxc.net.0.hwaddr = ee:ec:fa:e9:56:7d
Mounts within the container
For privileged containers, one can select directories on the host to bind mount to the container. This can be advantageous for example if the same architecture is being containerize and one wants to share pacman packages between the host and container. Another example could be shared directories. The syntax is simple:
lxc.mount.entry = /var/cache/pacman/pkg var/cache/pacman/pkg none bind 0 0
Xorg program considerations (optional)
In order to run programs on the host's display, some bind mounts need to be defined so that the containerized programs can access the host's resources. Add the following section to
## for xorg lxc.mount.entry = /dev/dri dev/dri none bind,optional,create=dir lxc.mount.entry = /dev/snd dev/snd none bind,optional,create=dir lxc.mount.entry = /tmp/.X11-unix tmp/.X11-unix none bind,optional,create=dir,ro lxc.mount.entry = /dev/video0 dev/video0 none bind,optional,create=file
If you still get a permission denied error in your LXC guest, then you may need to call
xhost + in your host to allow the guest to connect to the host's display server. Take note of the security concerns of opening up your display server by doing this.
In addition you might need to add the following line before the above bind mount lines.
lxc.mount.entry = tmpfs tmp tmpfs defaults
OpenVPN considerations
Users wishing to run OpenVPN within the container are requested to direct to either OpenVPN (client) in Linux containers and/or OpenVPN (server) in Linux containers.
Managing containers
Basic usage
To list all installed LXC containers:
# lxc-ls -f
Systemd can be used to start and to stop LXCs via
lxc@CONTAINER_NAME.service. Enable
lxc@CONTAINER_NAME.service to have it start when the host system boots.
Users can also start/stop LXCs without systemd. Start a container:
# lxc-start -n CONTAINER_NAME
Stop a container:
# lxc-stop -n CONTAINER_NAME
To login into a container:
# lxc-console -n CONTAINER_NAME
If when login you get pts/0 and lxc/tty1 use:
# lxc-console -n CONTAINER_NAME -t 0
Once logged, treat the container like any other linux system, set the root password, create users, install packages, etc.
To attach to a container:
# lxc-attach -n CONTAINER_NAME --clear-env
It works nearly the same as lxc-console, but you are automatically accessing root prompt inside the container, bypassing login. Without the
--clear-env flag, the host will pass its own environment variables into the container (including
$PATH, so some commands will not work when the containers are based on another distribution).
Advanced usage
LXC clones
Users with a need to run multiple containers can simplify administrative overhead (user management, system updates, etc.) by using snapshots. The strategy is to setup and keep up-to-date a single base container, then, as needed, clone (snapshot) it. The power in this strategy is that the disk space and system overhead are truly minimized since the snapshots use an overlayfs mount to only write out to disk, only the differences in data. The base system is read-only but changes to it in the snapshots are allowed via the overlayfs.
For example, setup a container as outlined above. We will call it "base" for the purposes of this guide. Now create 2 snapshots of "base" which we will call "snap1" and "snap2" with these commands:
# lxc-copy -n base -N snap1 -B overlayfs -s # lxc-copy -n base -N snap2 -B overlayfs -s
The snapshots can be started/stopped like any other container. Users can optionally destroy the snapshots and all new data therein with the following command. Note that the underlying "base" lxc is untouched:
# lxc-destroy -n snap1 -f
Systemd units and wrapper scripts to manage snapshots for pi-hole and OpenVPN are available to automate the process in lxc-service-snapshots.
Converting a privileged container to an unprivileged container
Once the system has been configured to use unprivileged containers (see, #Enable support to run unprivileged containers (optional)), nsexec-bzrAUR contains a utility called
uidmapshift which is able to convert an existing privileged container to an unprivileged container to avoid a total rebuild of the image.
- It is recommended to backup the existing image before using this utility!
- This utility will not shift UIDs and GIDs in ACL, you will need to shift them on your own.
Invoke the utility to convert over like so:
# uidmapshift -b /var/lib/lxc/foo 0 100000 65536
Additional options are available simply by calling
uidmapshift without any arguments.
Running Xorg programs
Either attach to or SSH into the target container and prefix the call to the program with the DISPLAY ID of the host's X session. For most simple setups, the display is always 0.
An example of running Firefox from the container in the host's display:
$ DISPLAY=:0 firefox
Alternatively, to avoid directly attaching to or connecting to the container, the following can be used on the host to automate the process:
# lxc-attach -n playtime --clear-env -- sudo -u YOURUSER env DISPLAY=:0 firefox
Root login fails
If you get the following error when you try to login using lxc-console:
login: root Login incorrect
And the container's
journalctl shows:
pam_securetty(login:auth): access denied: tty 'pts/0' is not secure !
pts/0 to the list of terminal names in
/etc/securetty on the container filesystem, see [1]. You can also opt to delete
/etc/securetty on the container to allow always root to login, see [2].
Alternatively, create a new user in lxc-attach and use it for logging in to the system, then switch to root.
# lxc-attach -n playtime [root@playtime]# useradd -m -Gwheel newuser [root@playtime]# passwd newuser [root@playtime]# passwd root [root@playtime]# exit # lxc-console -n playtime [newuser@playtime]$ su
No network-connection with veth in container config
If you cannot access your LAN or WAN with a networking interface configured as veth and setup through
If the virtual interface gets the ip assigned and should be connected to the network correctly.
ip addr show veth0 inet 192.168.1.111/24
You may disable all the relevant static ip formulas and try setting the ip through the booted container-os like you would normaly do.
lxc.net.0.type = veth
lxc.net.0.name = veth0
lxc.net.0.flags = up
lxc.net.0.link =
And then assign your IP through your preferred method inside the container, see also Network configuration#Network management.
Error: unknown command
The error may happen when you type a basic command (ls, cat, etc.) on an attached container that have different Linux distribution from the host system (e.g. Debian container in Arch Linux host system). When you attach, use the argument
# lxc-attach -n container_name --clear-env
Error: Failed at step KEYRING spawning...
Services in an unprivileged container may fail with the following message
some.service: Failed to change ownership of session keyring: Permission denied some.service: Failed to set up kernel keyring: Permission denied some.service: Failed at step KEYRING spawning ....: Permission denied
Create a file
/etc/lxc/unpriv.seccomp containing
2 blacklist [all] keyctl errno 38
Then add the following line to the container configuration after lxc.idmap
lxc.seccomp.profile = /etc/lxc/unpriv.seccomp

Pecan-Raisin Cinnamon Rolls
The tempting aroma of these freshly baked cinnamon rolls always sells them! I bake hundreds for two annual fund-raising events in our community. —Marvel Irvine, Alta, California
Total TimePrep: 50 min. + rising Bake: 20 min./batch + cooling
Makes4 dozen
- 11 to 12 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 3-1/2 cups water
- 1 cup canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 to 4 tablespoons water
- In a very large bowl, combine 8 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a large saucepan, heat water and oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each half into a 24x15-in. rectangle. Brush with butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Sprinkle with pecans and raisins.
- Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long sides; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 24 rolls. Place rolls, cut side up, in four greased 13x9-in. baking pans.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 425° for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, extracts and enough water to achieve spreading consistency. Spread over warm rolls. Cool on wire racks.
Editor's Note: Dough may need to be mixed in two batches, depending on the size of your mixing bowl. To halve the recipe, use 1 package plus 1-1/8 teaspoons yeast and 1 egg plus 2 tablespoons beaten egg. The other ingredients can easily be divided in half.

This recipe also works without eggs as well, the cinnamon buns are just as good or better. You don't have to compensate with the other ingredients either.
Feb 12, 2010
I've made these several times and my family loves them. Although I did scale down this recipe and only make 24 at a time.
Apr 10, 2009
If you want something that the whole family will love---this is a must try. I have made them for family gatherings & always try to make sure I have some in the freezer for guest.

Sunday of Orthodoxy in San Francisco
For the sixth consecutive year, the Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the West Coast gathered to celebrate the Sunday of Orthodoxy. This year the Hierarchs and faithful celebrated the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vesper services at the Los Altos at the Church of the Redeemer.
On the first Sunday in Lent, we commemorate the decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 A.D. upholding the use of holy icons in Orthodox worship. We also commemorate today the unity of Orthodox belief and the oneness of our Faith throughout our various jurisdictions, nations and languages and across the continents and the centuries.
