THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Register now! WWW.SQLRALLY.COM
The 2011 PASS SQLRally is just about one month away and it's high time I highlighted some of the important things you'll be hearing about in my precon seminar Leadership and Team Management Skills for the IT Professional. Just to set the context, many of us IT people got to our lofty career positions because of our keen use of technology. It takes a lot of smarts to get where we've gotten, but they are a very specific set of smarts that can't always be used in every business setting. And, since so many of us have topped out in our potential salary as long as we stay in the trenches and the only do technology work, a lot of us are starting to eye those middle manager positions so that we can continue to see our career grow. The only problem is that all of those skills that enabled us to become top tier technologists don't transfer into the management arena.
I'll be teaching a wide variety of soft skills and specific management checklists to help you survive those early transitional days. And if you're not a manager? You'll still want to attend because the wide variety of communication skills we'll cover will help you stay on top of many other real life situations, from leading the local Girl Scout troop to taking a role on the local PTA organization.
You can read the full and pedantic session description at the link I provided up above. But here's a list of Five Funny Things You'll Hear in the Precon:

No Love For Celebrity Softball Game
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kevin Love is no longer on the list of participants in the celebrity softball game at Target Field during the Major League Baseball All-Star festivities.
MLB released the latest list of stars scheduled to take their swings in the exhibition July 13, and Love was not included. Twins spokesman Chris Iles said Love now has another commitment and will no longer be able to take part. Adrian Peterson, Zach Parise and Maya Moore remain among the standouts set to play.
Love's appearance surely would've caused a commotion, and likely boos from the crowd. Having told the Timberwolves he will opt out of his contract after next season, Love is on the trade market this summer.

Pleased by active police response
We want to publicly thank several of our local police officers. It is a story of one good thing leading to another.
The article in the 8/22/13 Local, urging residents to report anything that feels suspicious by calling 911 was very helpful. It is so easy to talk ourselves out of suspicions and intuitions that things are "off."
Shortly after reading the article, Janet experienced something "off" in our immediate neighborhood. She expected to not be taken seriously when she called 911 the following day, with her delayed reaction and was happy that was not the case. The 911 operator was excellent.
Officer Nurse came to our house within an hour and took her report quite seriously. We were so impressed with both Officer Nurse's warmth and professionalism and that of the two officers who followed up a few days later. Both Officer Harris and Officer Seymour could not have been better at listening to our concerns and providing good security advice for the future. You featured their picture in your article.
This iced the cake, already started by Officer Mahan's contact with Ralph as he drove through our neighborhood. All four officers have been excellent in our contacts with them, and we are very grateful that they are patrolling our area.
We also understand that Captain John Fleming of the 14th District has been instrumental in this effort. We would like to thank him, as well. It is heartening to know we are in such good hands. We have such a great team working on our behalf in Chestnut Hill.
Janet Mather and Ralph Purvis

Assumptions on race are uncalled for
I wish to respond to the Aug. 29 letter of Joseph A. Ferry.
Perhaps Mr. Ferry should not assume to know that Trayvon Martin was a "cracker hater." Did Mr. Martin describe Mr. Zimmerman as a "weird a** cracker" to his girlfriend on the cell phone while being pursued by someone that law enforcement instructed to stay in his vehicle and that they did not need him to follow the "suspect."
So basically according to some, African Americans are not at liberty to walk where they please when they please. Did Trayvon Martin steal George Zimmerman's iPod? Why is a stolen iPod even in Mr. Ferry's letter? Keep a Philadelphia crime separate from the Trayvon Martin case.
Stand your ground basically allows for two people to be in a fight, but when one is better at defending himself skin to skin, the other can pull out a gun, kill, and claim self defense later.

Unions did much for workers' rights
As Pete Mazzaccaro noted in last week's editorial, "the working conditions of our labor force today are far removed from those of 119 years ago."
Of course our working conditions did not improve by themselves. No matter what one feels about labor unions today, we should all remember with gratitude the countless union members who struggled so hard, even sacrificing their lives, in order to achieve the rights that we take for granted today:
• 8-hour workday, 40-hour work week, and weekends off
• All breaks at work, including lunch breaks
• Paid holidays and vacation
• Pregnancy and parental leave; Family and Medical Leave Act
• Sick leave
• Social Security
• Unemployment insurance
• Minimum wage
• Civil Rights Act/Title VII (prohibits employer discrimination)
• Overtime pay
• Child labor laws; public education for children
• Workplace safety standards and regulations
• Worker's compensation
• Pensions
• Employer health insurance
• Employer dental, life, and vision insurance
• Collective bargaining rights
• Wrongful termination laws
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
• Whistleblower protection laws
• Employee Polygraph Protection Act (prohibits employers from using lie detector tests on employees)
• Veteran's employment and training services; military leave
• Sexual harassment laws
• Americans with Disabilities Act
• Privacy rights
• Right to strike
• Equal Pay Acts of 1963 and 2011 (requires employers pay men and women equally for the same amount of work)
• Laws ending sweatshops in the United States

March recollections are appreciated
Thanks to the Local for featuring a front page commentary (8/29 issue) on the March on Washington, past and present, by Phyllis and Richard Taylor. Their reflections on that day in 1963 brought the struggle for human rights home to Philadelphia in a powerful way.
The Taylors are to be recognized and greatly appreciated for the many brave and prophetic actions they have taken over many years to alert our community to a higher standard of social justice, whether it be opposing racism, protecting the environment, prison reform or the practice of nonviolence in national or world affairs.

Children deserve better from schools
Thank you Sue Ann Rybak for your article on the continuing crises of the Philadelphia School District. While the teachers, staff, students and families have not caused the current financial situation, we are being punished for it with fewer teachers, increased class sizes, no extra-curricular programs, no money for books and supplies, limited nurses and very few counselors.
The School Reform Commission – under state control since 2001 – has arbitrarily determined that schools with a student population of 600 or more will have a counselor reinstated, and schools with less, will not.
Will the children in schools without the benefit of a counselor not have any crises or only have them on the days the itinerant counselor is in the building? Will students no longer need assistance completing applications to high school or college? Who will handle IEP's (Individual Education Plans) for those students deserving of learning or gifted support? Who will help keep the schools safe when staff has already been reduced to a skeleton crew?
A counselor is an integral part of a school's community, providing support to all in the building and is someone essential to providing a quality education for children.
The constitution of the Commonwealth (Article 3, Section 14) calls for providing the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of public education to serve the needs of the Commonwealth. It's time the state does its part to uphold the constitution and it's time for city leaders to come together with the state to find a solution to this immediate crisis with full restoration of teachers, secretaries, counselors, noon-time aides, programming, and books and supplies – everything that makes a school a school.
Officials at the state and local level must work toward a fair funding formula so that we are not dealing with this problem year after year. Our children are the future and our children do not deserve to be pawns in this political game.

We currently have a gym t-shirt, but it has been around for a while and is getting a little old. We are looking for something fresh.
People who buy the shirt love our gym! Most of our members tend you be younger - college students and young professionals.
We are looking for a design for the back of the shirt. Wrapping around the sides is okay as well.
The front of the t-shirt will have our gym logo and the sleeve will have the logo of the parent company - but you guys don't need to worry about that since we are only looking for a design to go on the back.
It is important that the design on the back not look like our logo! Obviously, you can take a theme or element from our logo, but we would like there to be no confusion about which is our logo and which is the design.
I have attached the logo to give you guys a reference point.

Marin County sheriff"s officials say 37-year-old Juan Escamillo-Rojas and nine-year-old Juan Carlos Escamillo-Monroy, both of San Francisco, died after waves pulled them into the frigid waters around 5 p.m. Friday.
The father and son were fishing on a rocky coastline just northwest of the bridge on the Marin Headlands, an area exposed to large swells rolling in from the Pacific.
A fireboat crew called to the area pulled the two from the water, but the father and son were both pronounced dead after being taken to Coast Guard Station Golden Gate.
Another adult was also swept into the ocean, but survived.

The appearance of large public IM services based on XMPP Core [1] and XMPP IM [2] makes it desirable to implement protocols that discourage the sending of large quantities of instant messaging spam (a.k.a. "spim"). Spim could be generated by XMPP clients connected to legitimate servers or by XMPP servers with virtual clients, where the malicious entities are hosted on networks of "zombie" machines. Spim is defined here as any type of unsolicited XMPP stanza sent by a "robot" and delivered to a human, including messages and subscription requests. Spim has the potential to disrupt people even more than spam, because each message interrupts the receiver (humans typically filter SPAM in batch mode).
Spim blocking is more efficiently performed on the receiving server for several reasons:
However, no automated spim recognition techniques work perfectly all the time. This document is designed to give users control over the spim recognition their servers perform on their behalf.
Clients should be able to:
The stanza blocking protocol defined in XEP-0016 enables a client to control explicitly which senders its server must block stanzas from. Such explicit blocking is suitable for privacy control, but not for filtering spim.
This document contradicts an assumption expressed in the standard blocking protocol in order to extend client control to spim blocking. More specifically, it simply defines a spim recognition privacy-list fall-through action that is different from the 'allow' default assumed in XEP-0016. [5]
The various spim recognition procedures that may be employed by the server are beyond the scope of this document. No single measure can differentiate all spim perfectly. It is RECOMMENDED that servers implement a combination of complementary spim recognition techniques (and other anti-spim techniques [6]).
For example, a server could employ traffic and reputation analysis to filter the majority of spim, and use CAPTCHA Forms to identify the remainder (feeding what it learns back to the traffic and reputation analysis).
A client MAY confirm that its server supports Spim-Blocking Control using Service Discovery (XEP-0030) [7].
<iq type='get' firstname.lastname@example.com/laptop' to='mydomain.com'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/> </iq>
<iq type='result' from='mydomain.com' email@example.com/laptop'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'> <identity category='im' type='server'/> ... <feature var='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0159.html#node'/> ... </query> </iq>
This section specifies server functionality not defined in XEP-0016. This document will not reach Draft status until Server-Based Privacy Rules has been modified to permit this functionality.
A server that supports this protocol MAY maintain a separate [8] list of each user's correspondents. Each list contains all the bare JIDs the user has either sent a stanza to or received a stanza from (over the past few weeks or months).
Note: When it blocks a stanza, the server MUST NOT add the 'from' attribute of the stanza to the correspondents list.
Note: The lists of correspondents have a very different function from rosters. Edits are initiated by the server not the client, allowing the lists to be completely transparent to clients.
The server SHOULD perform the following procedures whenever it receives a stanza that falls through the active privacy list of the user it is addressed to without being either allowed or denied:
When a spim recognition procedure delays delivery of a stanza the server SHOULD store it temporarily.
While delivery is being delayed:
Once delivery of a stanza has been delayed for an implementation-specific length of time, or an implementation-specific number of stanzas from the same sender (or same sending server) are being delayed, the server SHOULD deny delivery of the stanza without informing the sender.
A good example of a delayed spim recognition procedure is when servers use the CAPTCHA Forms protocol to confirm whether or not a client is a spim robot before denying or allowing the delivery of a stanza from a new correspondent. [10] [11]
This informative section requires no client or server functionality beyond that defined in XEP-0016.
The client SHOULD use the 'subscription' type to exclude all JIDs on the user's roster from spim blocking (see the items with order 20, 30 and 40 in the example below).
At least in the medium term, clients that use non-XMPP protocols cannot be expected to support interactive spim recognition techniques (like CAPTCHA Forms). So, if its server uses interactive techniques, the client MAY use the 'jid' type to ensure its server does not block stanzas arriving from the transports the user has registered with (see the item with order 50 in the example below).
If a user believes spim will not be sent by users of a particular server (e.g. the user's own corporate server), then the client MAY use the 'jid' type to exclude all these users from spim blocking (see the item with order 60 in the example below).
<iq type='set' email@example.com/laptop'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'> <list name='normal'> ... <item type='subscription' value='both' action='allow' order='20'/> <item type='subscription' value='to' action='allow' order='30'/> <item type='subscription' value='from' action='allow' order='40'/> ... <item type='jid' value='yahoo.transport.org' action='allow' order='50'/> ... <item type='jid' value='mydomain.com' action='allow' order='60'/> ... </list> </query> </iq>
No spim recognition techniques are perfect. Senders are sometimes falsely identified as spim bots. (For example, when a server sends CAPTCHA Forms, but the client does not support that protocol.)
In these cases the user MAY ask out-of-band the person he is trying to communicate with to allow communications in one of the following ways:
If stanzas from a spim robot running on a zombie domain somehow manage to get past the server's spim recognition then the client MAY use the 'jid' type to block one or all JIDs from the domain. (XEP-0016 already enables this functionality.)
<iq type='set' email@example.com/laptop'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'> <list name='normal'> ... <item type='jid' value='spimmer.com' action='deny' order='70'/> ... </list> </query> </iq>
A client MAY disable server-side spim blocking by ensuring the default fall-through action is never applied. It does this simply by including an explicit fall-through item in its active privacy list.
<iq type='set' email@example.com/laptop'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'> <list name='normal'> ... <item action='allow' order='999'/> </list> </query> </iq>
Note: Before a server with existing accounts deploys this protocol, it MAY ensure all users' privacy lists have an explicit fall-through item. As a result, spim recognition would be disabled until users choose to switch it on.
If a server implements this protocol and its security is compromised, then the attacker may be able to access the list of all previous correspondants for every user. People are unable to delete their own lists and they may not even be aware that they exist. So servers MUST ensure they protect this sensitive information very carefully.

The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is defined in the XMPP Core (RFC 6120) and XMPP IM (RFC 6121) specifications contributed by the XMPP Standards Foundation to the Internet Standards Process, which is managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force in accordance with RFC 2026. Any protocol defined in this document has been developed outside the Internet Standards Process and is to be understood as an extension to XMPP rather than as an evolution, development, or modification of XMPP itself.
The primary venue for discussion of XMPP Extension Protocols is the <email@example.com> discussion list.
Discussion on other xmpp.org discussion lists might also be appropriate; see <http://xmpp.org/about/discuss.shtml> for a complete list.
Errata can be sent to <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
The following requirements keywords as used in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119: "MUST", "SHALL", "REQUIRED"; "MUST NOT", "SHALL NOT"; "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED"; "SHOULD NOT", "NOT RECOMMENDED"; "MAY", "OPTIONAL".
1. RFC 6120: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Core <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6120>.
2. RFC 6121: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Instant Messaging and Presence <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6121>.
3. XEP-0016: Privacy Lists <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0016.html>.
4. XEP-0158: CAPTCHA Forms <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0158.html>.
5. The language used in XEP-0016 appears to be deliberately vague (informative rather than normative) in order to permit other default fall-through actions. The protocol defined in this document is therefore (arguably) compatible with XEP-0016.
6. Other examples of anti-spim policies and protocols include: requiring a user to pass a robot challenge before registering a new account, invite-only and/or out-of-band user account registration, providing a standard protocol for reporting spim to both the servers involved, server-to-server connection dialback, karma (client-to-server and server-to-server), legal agreements not to send spim during user account registration, and IP blocking.
7. XEP-0030: Service Discovery <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0030.html>.
8. If the server were to maintain a single unified list of the correspondents of all its users, then spimmers would only need to pass a single spim recognition test before being allowed to send spim to all the server's users.
9. For example, the first time a stanza is delivered the correspondents list will change, typically triggering the immediate delivery of any other delayed stanzas.
10. The very occasional inconvenience of responding to a challenge is small and perfectly acceptable -- especially when compared to the countless robot-generated interruptions people might otherwise have to filter every day.
11. If a human user fails such a robot challenge then his client SHOULD give him the option to resend the stanza immediately.
12. The subscription type SHOULD never be 'none' because XEP-0016 specifies that, for the purposes of blocking, all JIDs not on the roster also have the subscription type 'none'.
13. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols, such as port numbers and URI schemes. For further information, see <http://www.iana.org/>.
14. The XMPP Registrar maintains a list of reserved protocol namespaces as well as registries of parameters used in the context of XMPP extension protocols approved by the XMPP Standards Foundation. For further information, see <https://xmpp.org/registrar/>.

Mischa Barton has drinking 'fasts'
Actress MISCHA BARTON keeps her drinking under control by giving up alcohol for six-week "fasts".
The O.C. star stays healthy by ditching booze for long periods of time, but insists she hasn't given up for good.
She tells The Daily Mail, "I don't want to give up booze completely but I now have regular six-week fasts when I don't touch a drop and it seems to work for me...
"I've never had a serious problem with drink really, just a couple of high-spirited incidents when I was younger. But I've grown up a bit now."
Barton checked into rehab after a drink driving arrest in 2007. She was sentenced to 36 months on probation, alcohol education classes and a fine, but she also enrolled in a private program to "prove I was sober".
She previously said of the experience, "It really helped in getting the more serious aspects of my case dropped because, you know, that's what they want to hear; you're not an alcoholic and you don't have a problem. So I did it in the most low-key way possible... I just did the program and got through it."

It's time for the space human exploration advocacy community to get its act together. A change in U.S. Presidents, as will happen this year, almost always leads to a change in American space policy and plans. Whoever is elected this year will set the policy the country will be living with on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11: July 20, 2019. With that reality in mind, those of us who wish for mankind to make additional "giant leaps" can no longer afford the perpetual bickering amongst ourselves that has characterized the pro-space advocacy community since about the time Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. It is time for those of us who desire to see humans expand throughout the solar system (and then beyond) to come together, compromise, and unite behind a plan to get us again started down that path. The situation is complicated further by the very vocal disagreement between the "private" versus "public" space development communities; another distraction we cannot afford.

2. Open ManyCam. Click on the Sources tab at the top, shown in a red box in the following screenshot. Your screen should now look very similar to the one in the screenshot. (Colored boxes have been added to the screenshot to help you find the buttons referenced in the following instructions more easily.)
3. Click on the Desktop button, shown in a brown box in the above screenshot, to select the Desktop as your source.
4. Use the Full Desktop, Partial Desktop, or Custom Desktop (all shown in the green box in the above screenshot) to select how much of the desktop you want to show.
- -If you select Full Desktop, the entire desktop will be shown (including the ManyCam window, when it is not minimized).
-If you select Partial Desktop, ManyCam will follow the mouse, keeping it in the center of the shot. The amount of area shown is determined by the "force size" option on the right (shown in a pink box in the screenshot). If you do not select a size, the size will be set by the broadcasting program you are using (e.g. the Ustream.tv Broadcast Console, Flash Media Live Encoder, or Ustream Producer).
-If you select Custom Desktop, a gray, semi-transparent window will appear. Resize the gray window and drag it over the region of the desktop you wish to capture, and then press OK in the upper left corner of the gray window.
5. Set the "Update rate" slider (shown in a blue box in the above screenshot) appropriately. Dragging it toward the left, toward 0, will increase the framerate and reduce the appearance of choppiness.
6. Open your broadcasting program of choice, select "ManyCam Video Source" as the video source, and start your broadcast like you normally would.
Bonus Tip! To prevent the ManyCam.com logo from showing in the bottom right of your video, click on the Effects tab at the top, select "Text over video" on the left, and uncheck the "Show ManyCam.com Logo" option that appears right below the video window once you have done so.

Tim McGraw Looking for a New Record Label to Call Home
Now that Tim McGraw has officially parted ways with Curb Records, he's searching for his next big deal and big contract. While the singer will release an independent single to radio in January, he's been window shopping at the biggest labels in Nashville.
There are potentially tens of millions of dollars on the table for a multi-album contract with a major record label like Warner, Sony or Capitol. The Tennessean reports that McGraw and manager Coran Capshaw have had preliminary chats with executives from all three, as well as one with the head of Big Machine Records, the independent label that is currently home to Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts.
The end of the year in the music business often resembles the NBA trading deadline, with executives and promotions staff switching teams in a rush before the first business day of 2012. The Tennessean suggests that McGraw will wait for things to settle down before deciding which company or which executive he wants to work with. Lawsuits are still pending from and against Curb Records; two cases are expected to be heard early next year.
An all-star lineup of country superstars have "switched teams" in the past two years, including Alan Jackson (from Sony to Capitol), Martina McBride (Sony to Big Machine), Rascal Flatts (Lyric Street to Big Machine) and Montgomery Gentry (Sony to Average Joe's). It's likely that the next two years will bring more shakeups.

Due to my traineeship, I got pretty deep into Adobe Illustrator during the last couple of weeks so I drifted away from the normal boring livery painting that CTDP does ( ) and started vectorizing stuff. This is what I'm up to at the moment, although it's pretty far from being finished:
If I have the time, I'd want to start collecting that stuff and maybe one day open my own blog or something like that. What do you think so far?

a widget that can be added to a Blogger page to create a better navigation bar (<< First Comic, <Last Comic, >Next Comic, that sort of thing...)

Current status / Next steps
I've just started playing around with vserver and am finding the documentation regarding this project lacking. As such, the way I'm doing this below may not be optimal.
That being said, I'm thinking that the next step to make this more efficient would be to write the proper scripts to integrate pacman into util-vserver as has been done for apt, rpm, etc... The actual files may be found in /usr/lib/util-vserver.
Preparing the Host
To prepare the vserver host environment, you will need to install both a vserver patched kernel, the vserver utilities and their dependencies which are located in the AUR. The required packages are Template:Package AUR, Template:Package AUR, Template:Package AUR, and Template:Package AUR
Paths of Interest
/etc/vservers : configuration root ( reference )
- /etc/vservers/.defaults : configuration skeleton used when building new guests
- /etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase : symlink to the folder containing vserver guests. This defaults to /vservers.
- /etc/vservers/<guest name> : guest specific configurations
Preparing the Guests
Vserver will launch guests from subfolders of /etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase. As such, creating a new guest system is as simple as installing the required packages in a folder of the host. Furthermore, there's nothing stopping you ( and quite a few things encouraging you ) to mount filesystems to the subfolders of vdirbase and installing your guest in there.
If you plan on doing this often, I highly recommend that you write yourself a little batch script since most of these steps can be automated quite easily.
Preparing the guest installation media
NOTE : This is all heavily inspired from wiki:Install From Existing Linux and will therefore be quite brief when not mentioning Vserver specific steps.
Optional: Base variables to follow along with the steps
GuestName= # Name of the guest GuestRoot=/etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase/$GuestName GuestPackages= # Listing of packages to install via pacman GuestDisk= # Installation target device GuestNetDevice= # ex.: eth0, dummy0, etc... GuestIP= # I think you get it GuestContext= # Unique identifier for the guest, I go with the last part of the IP
Optional: Preparing the guest disk
- Create a LVM Physical Volume, a Volume Group and a Logical Volume ( wiki:LVM )
- Create a filesystem on the lvm volume
- mkdir $GuestRoot
- mount /dev/$GuestDisk $GuestRoot
Optional: Link the host and guest pacman cache
- mkdir $GuestRoot/var/cache/pacman/pkg
- mount -o bind /var/cache/pacman/pkg $GuestRoot/var/cache/pacman/pkg
Prepare Vserver
- vserver $GuestName -m skeleton --context $GuestContext --interface $GuestNetDevice:$GuestIP --flags lock,virt_mem,virt_uptime,virt_cpu,virt_load,sched_hard,hide_netif --initstyle plain
- (optional) cd /etc/vservers/$GuestName/interfaces
- (optional) cp -r 0 1
- (optional) echo 'lo' > dev
- (optional) echo '127.0.0.$GuestContext' > ip
Prepare the guest's filesystem
- Prepare guest filesystem for the pacman db
- mkdir -p /newarch/var/lib/pacman
Install the base system
NOTE : To save some time, it's probably a good idea to create a text file containing all the packages to install and call it via "pacman -Sy `cat $GuestPackages` -r $GuestRoot" instead of the following :
- pacman -Sy base -r $GuestRoot
- Optional: If you want to chroot into the newly created guest so as to install new packages, it might be a good idea to mount a few filesystems required by some packages.
- Bind /dev, /proc, /sys to the corresponding directories in $GuestRoot
- Modify guest configuration files to enable a smoother boot process
- Modify /etc/inittab by deleting all lines that create the consoles ( agetty )
- Modify /etc/rc.shutdown by removing anything hardware/clock/mount related. This includes most everything under Saving Random Seed'.
- Modify /etc/rc.sysinit by anything hardware/clock/mount related.
- Create /etc/init.d/rc
- Modify /etc/syslog-ng.conf by removing file("/proc/kmsg")
- Modify /etc/rc.conf by removing the networks Daemon.
- Ensure /etc/rc.* can be executed: "chmod +x /etc/rc.*"

Viewing output from vserver $GuestName start / stop
NOTE : For me, this only worked in the actual consoles, not in X.
- Make sure that the device /dev/console exists in the guest
- If it does not, cp -a /dev/console $GuestRoot/dev/
SSH will not start
I noticed that /dev/null did not always get created properly in my first experimentations. Therefore I did a quick :
- cp -a /dev/null $GuestRoot/dev
- cp -a /dev/zero $GuestRoot/dev
Furthermore, if you're not using the dummy network driver and are attaching to the host's network interface, you'll want to configure the ListenAddress statement of /etc/ssh/sshd_config so that it binds only to the guest's IP address as opposed to 127.0.0.1.
SSH immediately terminates the connection
On my machine, SSH used to authenticate me correctly and log me in, but then immediately drop the connection without an explanation. Consulting /var/log/auth.log revealed the following:
sshd[17899]: pam_limits(sshd:session): Could not set limit for 'nice': Operation not permitted
This is easily fixed by commenting all nice related lines in /etc/security/limits.conf.
Tips & Trick
Network via dummy adapters
Here, you're either using the dummy module to create virtual network adapters or created interface aliases via /usr/sbin/ip or /usr/sbin/ifconfig. I went for the former and configured the host as such :
- /etc/sysctl.conf : net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Modify or add that statement to enable routing on the host
- /etc/rc.local
modprobe dummy numdummies=$NumberOfGuests
ip link set dev dummy$GuestContext name $GuestName
This provides me with dummy interfaces that I can route / firewall that are all named the same as my guests... yay.

Salvation Army Kettle
No Salvation Army scene would be complete without a Salvation Army band. A female character dressed in the distinctive blue and red of the army calls attention to the red donation kettle by ringing her bell. A male companion, dressed in matching colors plays the tuba while a younger member stands holding a bible. In 1995, Bob and Joyce Byers were invited to attend the Salvation Army School for officer training graduation where they were named the first two Samuel Logan Brengle fellows. At the ceremony they were cited for their service to the army as volunteers for their annual giving, Christian witness, and the establishment as two full perpetuating cadet scholarships for the school of officer training. "We have been incredibly impressed by the Salvation Army's dedication to its work of serving Christ and helping man kind," says Bob. It has had a profound impact on the way the Byers have chosen to run their business.
The Order of Samuel Logan Brengle fellows is named for a man who dedicated his life to the work of the Salvation Army. In the early 1900s Brengle rose through the ranks of the Army's to become a mentor to the Salvation Army leaders around the world. This fellowship was established "to honor those who make significant contributes to the enhancement of the training of officers in the eastern US territories. Sine 1992, Byers' Choice and the Byers family have raised over a million dollars in support of the Salvation Army and their many worthy causes.

Divine Surf Graces Church for Surfing America Prime
Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk? Event 2
Church Beach, San Onofre State Beach
October 6, 2012
This was our 5th year at Church San Onofre for Surfing America Prime and it has never let us down. Like clockwork, a new southern hemisphere swell began pulsing in Friday afternoon with shoulder to head high, glassy peaks. The surf and weather couldn't have been better with the wind staying down all day and the swell building in consistency. The abundance of great waves produced some stunning surfing prompting PacSun USA Surf Team Assistant Coach and announcer, Micah Byrne, to proclaim, "I've been to 12 or so Prime events and the surfing in this one was so advanced it blew me away. The bar has been raised so high by this series and it's great to watch all the kids blow up!"
There were lots of memorable performances, but standouts included 13 year-old Meah Collins battling back for the win in the Girls U18 division after a disappointing 4th place in her main division, Girls U16. Steffi Kerson flying under the radar and coming from seemingly nowhere to take the win in Girls U16. Jake Marshall also redeemed himself after his 4th place finish in Boys U16 to decisively win the Boys U18 division by positioning himself on the south peak and boosting a huge slob air on a running right. Eithan Osborne took his second win in two contests in the Boys U14 division dominating with a 9.5 and 8.17 for a 17.67 heat total. Griffin Colapinto was back in form with his trademark power surfing combined with an arsenal of cleanly executed airs propelling him to the top spot in Boys U16.
With the talent level in Surfing America Prime, most of the heats were absolute barn burners. Boys U18 Quarterfinal number 4 was a throw-down where Jake Marshall, Colt Ward, Thelen McKinna-Worrell and Jake Kelly were all out doing one another in great surf for the entire 20 minute heat. Jake Marshall took 1st with 15.16, but Jake Kelly was 4th with 14.37. Only .79 points separated 1st from 4th!
Next up is event number 3 at T-Street San Clemente December 8 & 9. This event was rescheduled from Salt Creek on November 3 & 4 to avoid a conflict with NSSA SW Open event schedule then.
1. Jake Marshall, 16.16, Encinitas

I'm working up toward a Christmas book gift list for the Claremont Review in a few more days, and the process has made me press ahead further into Jean Yarbrough's indispensable new book, mentioned here previously, Theodore Roosevelt and the American Political Tradition. There are lots of TR books out there—some of them even pretty good, though most are not that good on the question of exploring and untangling his political thought in depth. Yarbrough's is.
Yarbrough goes further than virtually all other authors in particular on TR's intellectual background, with a fascinating chapter on "The Education of Theodore Roosevelt." I've lately been fascinated by the question of the educational backgrounds of presidents. (For example, read Calvin Coolidge's account of his Amherst education in his autobiography if you want to see a proper education properly received.) Yarbough has figured out what courses TR took and what books he read at Harvard, and then wrestles with why he didn't seem to absorb what others did from reading, for example, Frederic Bastiat, or knowing about The Federalist (which he did not read at Harvard). For example:
As he sought to attract a younger generation of college-educated men to political careers, Roosevelt had one bit of advice: "Read The Federalist—it is one of the greatest—I would hardly know whether it would not be right to say that it is on the whole the greatest book dealing with applied politics there has ever been." . . .
Yet for all his praise of The Federalist, it is worth noting that Roosevelt himself had little to say about the particular theory of republicanism it expounded. He had not read the work in college, and it is not clear when he first sat down with it, or how carefully he considered its arguments.
One of the things Yarbrough is on to that very few people have ever sufficiently noticed is how the so-called "Social Darwinists"—supposed conservatives, remember—actually played a significant role in undermining the central philosophy of the American Founding, and how "Social Darwinism" was picked up by the left-Progressives like Woodrow Wilson. Short sample:
Although [William Graham] Sumner is often described by both his supporters and critics as a "classical liberal" in the tradition of John Locke and the founders, this characterization is misleading because it focuses exclusively on Sumner's defense of limited government and individual liberty, while ignoring the Darwinian ground of his argument. . .
Yet Sumner's objection was not simply that natural rights has strayed too far from their eighteenth century moorings. His Darwinian view of nature was fundamentally at odds with the founders' moral understanding of the "law of nature and nature's God."
There's a lot more here to wrestle with, and because of TR's in-between character (in-between left-Progressivism and more decent liberal reformism), understanding him more clearly is useful to seeing our way ahead today.
