text: I ordered a safe from Bruce at the [SCI Convention] and I am very happy with the entire process. Bruce got all the details at the show and gave me an approximate date when the safe would be ready. He met that date and the safe is perfect. The packaging was so good that my new safe did not even get a fingerprint on it. Also I own several other gun safes but none match the quality of the safe that Bruce built me. I attend the show every year and usually spend [a large sum] at the auction. This year I bought a goat hunt in Canada. For the quality of the participants that attend the SCI convention I think having Pendleton Safes at the show is a very positive thing.

May has been another busy month for us. We've had weekends away (three in fact; Penkridge, Manchester and Warwickshire) and although it's been busy we've been able to spend some time together which has been lovely. There's been days out to spot the Gruffalo, a charity football match, a visit to Chester Zoo to watch the Chimpanzees and an afternoon with Mister Maker.
Our May kicked off in style with a very rare sunny bank holiday Monday and a trip to the Yoxall Bluebells. It was such a lovely day and we had a good afternoon walking through the flowers, a real blogger cliché but one that just had to be done. Unfortunately my Me and Mine photograph that we took is pretty poor but it's still a nice shot of us all even if it's out of focus.
Here's what the family have enjoyed this month
Mummy has:
- Loved getting dolled up for her friend's wedding and dancing the night away with them
- Sorted out lots of old clothes and is donating them to the Slimming World #SWClothesThrow (no point keeping them when they no longer fit) to raise money for Cancer Research
- Enjoyed a relaxing facial at Chesford Grange Spa
- Loved seeing her friends up in Manchester for the BlogOn conference
- Adores this brand spanking new shiny blog logo thanks to Emma at Daydreams and Ice creams, I absolutely love it, she's such a clever lady
Daddy has:
- Enjoyed watching the Smiling Saddlers versus the Compton Wolves in the Smile for Joel charity football match
- Loved meeting up with the lads and enjoying the starter all you can eat deal at TGI Fridays
- Enjoyed getting his time down to just over 32 minutes for his 5k Parkrun sessions
- Loved visiting the National Football Museum in Manchester with Olly whilst Mummy was at BlogOn
Olly has:
- Loved plane spotting with his Daddy during half term
- Done really well in school and received a special note home to say well done. Daddy went in to school to look at his books and was impressed with his writing and drawing.
- Enjoyed meeting Mister Maker after watching him live on stage
- Loved seeing the chimpanzees at Chester Zoo
June is set to be an exciting month as we have a week's holiday in France and I cannot wait to switch off, a surprise trip to Disneyland Paris for Olly (he doesn't know yet…eeeek!) and lots of other exciting things planned which we're all very much looking forward to!

I have struggled with self-esteem and a quick temper for as long as I can remember.
Having three little ones four and under have only increased my awareness of these problems. It has also increased my desire to resolve them. I do not want my girls growing up thinking they aren't beautiful, smart, funny, and talented in the one-million ways I see them now. I want my son to understand how to love and respect women because I love and respect myself.
After B was born in June 2013, I had an incredibly hard time controlling my temper, getting sleep, eating right and well, pretty mud everything. I constantly felt overwhelmed. In November 2013, I started seeing a councilor again. Yes, again. It had approximately five years since I had seen one. I never really resolved anything with those sessions, I just ended up too overwhelmed with getting married and school. I was newly married, in school, and then pregnant, so I stopped. A few weeks ago I found out I struggle with postpartum depression.
I love my councilor! She has been wonderful, hard, honest, loving, and most important-loving. I have decided to put some of my homework on the blog. This is to both help it sink-in and get me back into blogging. I have not picked back up after I loosing everything.

The other day, I was watching one of Louis Theroux's old documentaries, called Gambling in Las Vegas. Theroux has tackled grittier topics throughout his career, but nevertheless, seeing people in the throes of a gambling addiction – a retired doctor claims she's spent over $7 million in 10 years at the Las Vegas Hilton casino – isn't easy viewing.
But the thing that interested me the most was the insight into how Vegas casinos (well, casinos anywhere) are specifically designed to keep people interacting with them as much as possible – even when it's not in the customer's interest.
If that sounds familiar, it's because the definition of 'dark patterns' in UX is eerily similar.
Persuasive design has received a lot of media attention recently. At the end of 2017, before Facebook's more recent data leak difficulties, a number of high profile Silicon Valley technologists spoke out against the platforms that they helped build. Facebook's founding president Sean Parker criticised the development of functionality that "exploit[s] a vulnerability in human psychology" in order to "consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible". The next day Chamath Palihapitiya, Vice President for User Growth at Facebook until 2011 said he felt "tremendous guilt" for his role in developing interactions that play on "short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops" to maximise engagement.

This build is based around being able to sit on a point and hold it in SPvP.
1.9k toughness and almost 30k health is backed up by Endure Pain at 25% health (4 second duration) and an Endure Pain Utility skill (5 second duration).
It also has two healing shouts that will heal for around 1.7k and can be used even when in the middle of reviving/using other skills etc. "Fear Me!" is also a great skill to use for point denial.
The banner and banner trait have been taken as when you are fighting on a point and an ally dies, it is invaluable to be able to rez them up quickly, the banner allows you to do this and is a very underrated skill.
Choice of weapons has been so that attacks with Hammer when stunned will be drawing on 3k power, which is better than most crit damage, and both sets also have very good CC and survivability.

Rest in Peace: Robert Graham, Everyone's Best Friend at Fairway
"Robert was a total mensch, a smiling, gentle presence in a store that often resembles a food shopper's battlefield."
I was checking out of the express line at Fairway when I saw a a poster with a big photo of Robert Graham, one of the managers at Fairway and the general manager I could always count on in times of need or desperation. I read the copy on the poster in disbelief. It was an in-store eulogy. Robert had passed away suddenly last week. I started to tear up. Robert was a total mensch, a smiling, gentle presence in a store that often resembles a food shopper's battlefield.
I started looking for someone who could explain what happened. I spotted Mitchel London standing outside the store. "What happened to Robert?" I practically screamed. Mitchel explained that Robert had died a week ago Saturday. He had been attending a birthday party for his father with his wife and daughter when he suffered an asthma attack. Usually Robert brought his inhaler everywhere, but somehow, tragically, he had forgotten to bring it to the party.
Anyone who has ever shopped at Fairway will miss his calming presence and the ever-present twinkle in his eye. You will be sorely missed, Robert, but never forgotten.

CONAKRY — At least 24 people were killed in a stampede at a beachside concert celebrating the end of Ramadan in Guinea's capital, news agency AFP said, with Guinea's Presidency declaring a week of mourning after what it described as a "tragic drama".
A statement from the Presidency said the incident occurred at a beach in the Ratoma neighborhood of the capital, Conakry. It noted some deaths and injuries but did not give a death toll.
"While waiting for the results of an investigation, information from health and security authorities indicate deaths and several injuries," the Presidency said late on Tuesday.
AFP quoted Guinean hospital officials on the number of people killed.
The stampede, which occurred during celebrations to mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan in mainly Muslim Guinea, comes at a time when health workers are already stretched by an outbreak of Ebola.
The deadly tropical virus was first detected in the poor, mineral-rich West African country in February and has since spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing more than 670 people, according to the World Health Organization.

Bollywood's Dilbar girl Nora Fatehi turned a year older as she celebrated her 27th birthday with Street Dancer Co-Star Varun Dhawan and Filmmaker Bhushan Kumar. Nora Fatehi has recently grabbed attention with her mind-blowing performance in Satymev Jayate's song Dilbar. After her dancing moves, She will be making headlines for her acting stints in Salman Khan's upcoming movie Bharat. Such a lucky year for Nora Fatehi. Isn't it?
Besides her professional life, She was also the center of limelight for her personal life. The actress was rumored to be in relationship with Neha Dhupiya's Husband Angad Bedi before his marriage. Also, as per the media reports She has a close relationship with Bollywood actor Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi.
Before the marriage, Angad Bedi was seen with Nora Fatehi in most of the pictures and they were rumored to be in a relationship. However, both of them have never confirmed their link-ups in media.

Seems like they turned stranger for each other as in a recent interview when Nora Fatehi was asked about Angad Bedi, She quickly said 'Who's Angad Bedi?'. Also they have unfollowed each other on social media.
Nora Fatehi also confessed that She loves Salman Khan as the reason of taking part in Bigg Boss 9 as a wild card entry, it was her love and craze for Salman Khan. On the work front, She's the part of Salman Khan's upcoming film Bharat. Nora was also seen in Emraan Hashmi's film 'Mister X'.
In a recent interview Nora had said that "Its an extremely exciting time in my career. People are taking notice of my talent and I am working with amazing people from the Indian industry while also achieving international recognition. Ever since I have started working with T-Series its been a successful life changing collaboration. Dilbar has been a turning point in my career and it wouldn't be possible without Bhushan Kumar sir and T-Series. And I am so grateful that they have noticed my talent and believed in me."
She added further"I am happy to announce that i have signed with them exclusively and now we will be working on bigger greater projects like Batla House, #3, Bharat and many many more films and music in the coming years! Looking forward to making history in Bollywood over the next few years and working on some massive projects with T-Series. Bhushan-ji has given me a great opportunity and I am dedicated to making my mark in Bollywood, working extremely hard and putting my best foot forward,"

5. To Be Fully Human
The ability to reason and understand is important to our well-being. But so is our ability to feel emotions. Let's look at how the two fit together.
Intelligence is a wonderful thing. Our ability to reason, to make rational choices, and to look at things analytically has given humanity many great things. But when the mind is operating without the heart, when intellect rules without benefit of humility, we often end up in very deep trouble. In the 20th century alone, we saw the most cultured nation in Europe launch the "final solution," and the most creative scientists among us have managed to spoil the land, the air and the waters.
Have you ever wondered why so many people seem to be afraid of their feelings? They are determined to avoid appearing openly emotional and often behave scornfully to others who are in the grip of strong feelings. They want to feel in control at all times, but one of the things about being fully human is acknowledging that there is only so far reason can go. There are some things in life that are deeply mysterious. They defy logical explanation and require that we accept rather than understand.
Discovery of the evidence of a Higgs boson, that particle that physicists have proposed gives mass to everything in the universe, was a huge labor by a lot of scientists, several of whom work at the University of Washington. In an article at the time, one of the scientists admitted to tears at the announcement, because it was such a momentous scientific discovery. But it was a scientific discovery that was just as much felt – and felt deeply.
So, don't let your quest to understand life prevent you from truly experiencing it, and don't let your desire for knowledge keep you from achieving real wisdom. ~The Pacific Institute
6. Wyden, Merkley, Brown Make Urgent Request for Federal Emergency Aid
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and Gov. Kate Brown today asked federal officials to provide emergency aid for farmers affected by wildland fires raging in Oregon.
The letter from Wyden, Merkley and Brown to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue comes as the Substation Fire is engulfing wheat fields in Wasco and Sherman County and nearly 200 lightning-start fires are burning in southern and central Oregon.
"This type of fire has not been seen in decades and has done untold economic damage to Oregon's farmers," wrote Wyden, Merkley and Brown. "Wheat is a top ten Oregon commodity, valued at nearly $186 million, and this year's wildfires are expected to have a significant impact on our statewide economy. It is with urgency we write to request that the Department of Agriculture provide any emergency assistance possible for farmers affected by wildland fires in Oregon."
The letter notes that the Substation Fire and several other fires have burned tens of thousands of acres in Oregon, already claiming the life of one farmer.
"Our concern is that federal programs such as crop insurance, or even normal disaster assistance, are not sufficient for this type of disaster," the letter said. "Highly rural areas like Sherman County rely on volunteers for firefighting, and very few farms in the wide open wheat fields of Eastern Oregon are prepared for the type of fast-moving fire that has engulfed these counties this week."
7. Congressman Walden: Wildfire Season Across Oregon Highlights Continued Need for Reform
More than 400 wildfires have been reported across our state as this year's fire season is well underway in Oregon and it's already turned deadly with the loss of a farmer's life while trying to stop the Substation Fire. First and foremost, we must thank the brave men and women putting themselves in harm's way to protect people, property, and public lands from wildfire. When others are told to evacuate, firefighters stay behind to do their jobs, and they are owed our gratitude.
In Congress, I've worked hard to pass legislation to improve firefighter health, protect Oregon communities from wildfire, and reform federal forest policy to help prevent catastrophic wildfires. That progress includes:
Firefighter Cancer Registry Act – SIGNED INTO LAW: This is important public health legislation that will require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop and maintain a voluntary registry to collect data regarding the incidence of cancer in firefighters. This registry will allow researchers to have a greater understanding of the impacts smoke inhalation and other occupational hazards have on a firefighter's health, and lead to better treatment options.
Forest Management Reforms – SIGNED INTO LAW: We provided a 10-year fire borrowing fix, to help end the vicious cycle of depleting resources for fire prevention to pay for fire suppression, which increases the risk of devastating wildfires year after year. We also ensured the Forest Service has new tools to reduce the fuel loads that have built up in our forests, and expand their authority for fuel and fire break projects to improve the resiliency of our forests and protect our communities.
Crooked River Ranch Fire Protection Act – PASSED HOUSE: I've worked closely with local fire officials, first responders, and community leaders in crafting this legislation, addressing their concerns about the excess fire fuels that surround Crooked River Ranch. This bill simply makes common-sense adjustments to the wilderness study areas that border this community of more than 5,000 people in central Oregon, creating a safe zone between there and the homes where fire prevention work and firefighting can more readily occur. To read more about this legislation, please click here.
This marks an important step forward for our communities, airsheds, watersheds, and public lands, but there is much more work to be done. I've also supported forest management reforms in the 2018 Farm Bill that is progressing through the legislative process, including the reauthorization of a program to increase timber management in central, southern, and eastern Oregon.

Daniel J. Doyle Technology & Society
The series, honoring Daniel J. Doyle, a professor emeritus and the College's 1984 Master Teacher, features presentations by noted authors and academics and will challenge audiences to consider the impact of technology on our society.
Watch Protecting Identity in the 21st Century
Presented by Lisa Bock
Since the internet became public in 1992, rapid technological advances have opened the world to many possibilities. With them, came multiple threats to our identities, our safety, and our financial resources. Society has embraced technology, but how can we be sure that we are interacting with the correct entity in an environment that promises anonymity? Companies seek ways to mitigate threats and secure data (for instance, through the use of passwords, the main means of providing authentication). However, it has become obvious that passwords alone are simply not enough to protect us.
Biometric technology is becoming more influential, as it provides a more robust method of protection, using fingerprints, iris, voice, palmprints or facial recognition. This technology, introduced through the FBI's Identification Division in 1924, when it began storing fingerprint cards, will, in many ways, influence the way society interacts with digital devices. Unlike a password or a smart card, biometric technology identifies an attribute that is not only unique to the individual but also defies duplication.
How will biometrics affect the individual sitting at his/her personal device? How will cost, effectiveness, and the need to maintain biometric traits safely and privately affect the industry? These are the questions consumers, governments, businesses, and all denizens of the online world need to consider as they move into the next iteration of identity protection.

Relto (which, according to Yeesha, means "the high place") is an Age originally Written as a gift for her parents, and resembles Myst Island. (Although Myst Island was an island in an ocean, whereas Relto is a lonely mountain peak above clouds.)
The Book itself has the previously unheard of ability to follow its owner (and only its owner) through the link when it is used, and is also capable of linking to itself. This defies several rules of the Art which were previously held as absolute.
Another unique feature of the Relto Book is that it is capable of adding new items to the Age, through the addition of pages scattered throughout other Ages. These pages do not appear to contain any D'ni writing; rather, they are pictographic depictions of the item that is added. Additionally, these items can be turned off and on by touching the symbol itself.
Yeesha has said that Relto will change as an explorer's explorations continue, reflecting who they are: becoming the "soul" of the explorer. It is presently unclear to what extent Yeesha intends this, and speculations on this subject also extend into the Book's ability to somehow identify who is using it when linking.
In reality Relto appears to be based on Rialto Beach, in Forks, Washington, USA. This beach is near the Cyan Worlds headquarters, and it has rocky outcroppings which strongly resemble the Relto "island", and at certain days the mist completely obscures the sea and beach, just as Relto is a lonely peak above the clouds.

The "priciest piece of aluminum in NYC" – a taxi medallion to operate a single cab in NYC – reached a new record-high of $609,000 in August for an individual medallion (see chart above, data here), more than double the average prices in 2004. The average price for a corporate-owned taxi medallion reached a new record high in July and August at $825,000.
Membership in the "taxi cartel" certainly has its privileges: above-market returns of 17% per year for corporate medallions and 15% for individual medallions in a permanent bull market. Over the same period from 2004 to 2010, the average annual return on the S&P500 was -1.10%. See previous CD posts here, here and here.

MORE than 18 million people were lured to the north west last year - boosting the region's reputation as a world-class visitor destination.
And Manchester's shopping, nightlife and stunning new attractions are highlighted as an integral part of the tourism bonanza.
The Lowry arts centre is a major jewel in the crown, along with the stunning architecture of the Imperial War Museum North and one of the icons of retail therapy, the new Harvey Nichols store on Deansgate.
The North West Tourist Board is taking part in London's World Travel Market next Monday for the first time in a decade with a portfolio of some of the most popular attractions in the country.
Andrew Stokes, managing director of Marketing Manchester, said: "Manchester is delighted to be returning to the World Travel Market.
"The profound changes in the city over recent years make it an easy place to showcase.
"As a destination for shopping, events, entertainment and just pure urban cool, it now has few rivals in the country."
More than 50,000 visitors from 189 countries will be going along to the capital's largest international travel exhibition, with delegates battling to show what they have to offer.
The Manchester message to both domestic and overseas visitors is that the city is fashionable, a capital for major events, top for sport and music, plus an ideal gateway to the rest of the region through Manchester Airport.
The campaign is organised by the North West Tourist Board and the North West Development Agency and Peter Mearns, director of marketing for NWDA, said: "In 2002, 18 million people visited the north west, contributing £6 billion to the region's economy.
"We feel a strong presence at the World Travel Market affords us the perfect platform to launch our campaign."
The NWDA invests £400 million a year to encourage economic, social, physical and environmental regeneration of the region.
In addition to Manchester, four other places in the region are described as world class.
They are the Lake District, Blackpool, the UK's brightest seaside resort, Chester, the country's most complete walled city - and Liverpool, the European Capital of Culture 2008.
The North West Tourist Board is a partnership between VisitBritain, 39 local authorities and 1,200 tourism businesses in the region.

Upgrading from OpenNebula 5.0.x¶
This section describes the installation procedure for systems that are already running a 5.0.x OpenNebula. The upgrade to OpenNebula 5.10 can be done directly following this section, you don't need to perform intermediate version upgrades. The upgrade will preserve all current users, hosts, resources and configurations; for both Sqlite and MySQL backends.
Read the Compatibility Guide and Release Notes to know what is new in OpenNebula 5.10.
If you are using the vCenter drivers, there is a manual intervention required in order to upgrade to OpenNebula 5.4. Note that upgrading from OpenNebula < 5.2 to OpenNebula 5.4 is NOT supported. You need to upgrade first to OpenNebula 5.2, and then upgrade to OpenNebula 5.4.
Upgrading a Federation¶
If you have two or more 5.0.x OpenNebulas working as a Federation, you need to upgrade all of them. The upgrade does not have to be simultaneous, the slaves can be kept running while the master is upgraded.
The steps to follow are:
- Stop the MySQL replication in all the slaves
- Upgrade the master OpenNebula
- Upgrade each slave
- Resume the replication
During the time between steps 1 and 4 the slave OpenNebulas can be running, and users can keep accessing them if each zone has a local Sunstone instance. There is however an important limitation to note: all the shared database tables will not be updated in the slaves zones. This means that new user accounts, password changes, new ACL rules, etc. will not have any effect in the slaves. Read the federation architecture documentation for more details.
It is recommended to upgrade all the slave zones as soon as possible.
To perform the first step, pause the replication in each slave MySQL:
mysql> STOP SLAVE;
mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
Slave_IO_Running: No
Slave_SQL_Running: No
Then follow this section for the master zone. After the master has been updated to 5.10, upgrade each slave zone following this same section.
Upgrading from a High Availability deployment¶
The recommended procedure to upgrade two OpenNebulas configured in HA is to follow the upgrade procedure in a specific order. Some steps need to be executed in both servers, and others in just the active node. For the purpose of this section, we will still refer to the active node as such even after stopping the cluster, so we run the single node steps always in the same node:
- Preparation in the active node.
- Backup in the active node.
- Stop the cluster in the active node:
pcs cluster stop.
- Installation in both nodes. Before running
install_gems, run
gem list > previous_gems.txtso we can go back to those specific
rackgems if the
pcsdrefuses to start.
- Configuration Files Upgrade in the active node.
- Database Upgrade in the active node.
- Check DB Consistency in the active node.
- Reload Start Scripts in CentOS 7 in both nodes.
- Start the cluster in the active node.
Before proceeding, make sure you don't have any VMs in a transient state (prolog, migr, epil, save). Wait until these VMs get to a final state (runn, suspended, stopped, done). Check the Managing Virtual Machines guide for more information on the VM life-cycle.
Stop OpenNebula and any other related services you may have running: OneFlow, EC2, and Sunstone. Use preferably the system tools, like systemctl or service as root in order to stop the services.
Backup the configuration files located in /etc/one. You don't need to do a manual backup of your database, the onedb command will perform one automatically.
cp -r /etc/one /etc/one.$(date +'%Y-%m-%d')
Follow the Platform Notes and the Installation guide, taking into account that you will already have configured the passwordless ssh access for oneadmin.
Make sure to run the
install_gems tool, as the new OpenNebula version may have different gem requirements.
If executing
install_gems you get a message asking to overwrite files for aws executables you can safely answer "yes".
It is highly recommended not to keep your current
oned.conf, and update the
oned.conf file shipped with OpenNebula 5.10 to your setup. If for any reason you plan to preserve your current
oned.conf file, read the Compatibility Guide and the complete oned.conf reference for 5.0 and 5.10 versions.
Configuration Files Upgrade¶
If you haven't modified any configuration files, the package managers will replace the configuration files with their newer versions and no manual intervention is required.
If you have customized any configuration files under
/etc/one we recommend you to follow these steps regardless of the platform/linux distribution.
- Backup
/etc/one(already performed)
- Install the new packages (already performed)
- Compare the old and new configuration files:
diff -ur /etc/one.YYYY-MM-DD /etc/one. Or you can use graphical diff-tools like
meldto compare both directories, which are very useful in this step.
- Edit the new files and port all the customizations from the previous version.
- You should never overwrite the configuration files with older versions.
Database Upgrade¶
The database schema and contents are incompatible between versions. The OpenNebula daemon checks the existing DB version, and will fail to start if the version found is not the one expected, with the message 'Database version mismatch'.
You can upgrade the existing DB with the 'onedb' command. You can specify any Sqlite or MySQL database. Check the onedb reference for more information.
Make sure at this point that OpenNebula is not running. If you installed from packages, the service may have been started automatically.
For environments in a Federation: Before upgrading the master, make sure that all the slaves have the MySQL replication paused.
After you install the latest OpenNebula, and fix any possible conflicts in oned.conf, you can issue the 'onedb upgrade -v' command. The connection parameters have to be supplied with the command line options, see the onedb manpage for more information. Some examples:
onedb upgrade -v --sqlite /var/lib/one/one.db
onedb upgrade -v -S localhost -u oneadmin -p oneadmin -d opennebula
If everything goes well, you should get an output similar to this one:
$ onedb upgrade -v -u oneadmin -d opennebula
MySQL Password:
Version read:
Shared tables 4.11.80 : OpenNebula 4.12.1 daemon bootstrap
Local tables 4.11.80 : OpenNebula 4.12.1 daemon bootstrap
MySQL dump stored in /var/lib/one/mysql_localhost_opennebula.sql
Use 'onedb restore' or restore the DB using the mysql command:
mysql -u user -h server -P port db_name < backup_file
>>> Running migrators for shared tables
>>> Running migrators for local tables
> Done in 41.93s
Database migrated from 4.11.80 to 4.13.80 (OpenNebula 4.13.80) by onedb command.
Total time: 41.93s
Make sure you keep the backup file. If you face any issues, the onedb command can restore this backup, but it won't downgrade databases to previous versions.
Check DB Consistency¶
After the upgrade is completed, you should run the command
onedb fsck.
First, move the 5.0.x backup file created by the upgrade command to a safe place.
mv /var/lib/one/mysql_localhost_opennebula.sql /path/for/one-backups/
Then execute the following command:
$ onedb fsck -S localhost -u oneadmin -p oneadmin -d opennebula
MySQL dump stored in /var/lib/one/mysql_localhost_opennebula.sql
Use 'onedb restore' or restore the DB using the mysql command:
mysql -u user -h server -P port db_name < backup_file
Total errors found: 0
Resume the Federation¶
This section applies only to environments working in a Federation.
For the master zone: This step is not necessary.
For a slave zone: The MySQL replication must be resumed now.
Do not copy the server-id from this example, each slave should already have a unique ID.
- Start the slave MySQL process and check its status. It may take a while to copy and apply all the pending commands.
mysql> START SLAVE;
mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
SHOW SLAVE STATUS output will provide detailed information, but to confirm that the slave is connected to the master MySQL, take a look at these columns:
Slave_IO_State: Waiting for master to send event
Slave_IO_Running: Yes
Slave_SQL_Running: Yes
Reload Start Scripts in CentOS 7¶
In order for the system to re-read the configuration files you should issue the following command after the installation of the new packages:
systemctl daemon-reload
Update the Drivers¶
You should be able now to start OpenNebula as usual, running
service opennebula start as
root. At this point, as
oneadmin user, execute
onehost sync to update the new drivers in the hosts.
onehost sync is important. If the monitorization drivers are not updated, the hosts will behave erratically.
OpenNebula will continue the monitoring and management of your previous Hosts and VMs.
As a measure of caution, look for any error messages in oned.log, and check that all drivers are loaded successfully. After that, keep an eye on oned.log while you issue the onevm, onevnet, oneimage, oneuser, onehost list commands. Try also using the show subcommand for some resources.
Restoring the Previous Version¶
If for any reason you need to restore your previous OpenNebula, follow these steps:
- With OpenNebula 5.10 still installed, restore the DB backup using 'onedb restore -f'
- Uninstall OpenNebula 5.10, and install again your previous version.
- Copy back the backup of /etc/one you did to restore your configuration.
Known Issues¶
If the MySQL database password contains special characters, such as
@ or
#, the onedb command will fail to connect to it.
The workaround is to temporarily change the oneadmin's password to an ASCII string. The set password statement can be used for this:
$ mysql -u oneadmin -p
mysql> SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpass');

Fasanerie Zweibrucken
The Fasanerie was designed and built by the Polish King Stanislaus Leszcynski in 1714 for his pleasure. The Fasanerie was a summer residence where Kings were former guests. The Romantik Hotel Landschloss Fasanerie has since been built on the 18th century mansion built by King Stanislaus Leszcynski.

Bain & Savon-Nettle and Marshmallow Shampoo Bar
This shampoo bar was created to smooth and rehydrate dry, lacklustre, and/or curly, hard-to-manage hair. It softens the hair naturally, promotes hair growth (due to it's high content of plant proteins), provides natural shine to dull hair follicles, soothes dry scalp and helps reduce itchy scalps.
Nettle increases blood flow to your scalp. It also oxygenates your hair follicles and strengthens hair fibres, promoting healthier, shinier, fuller hair. It is also used to treat dandruff.
They have used their own nettle and marshmallow root infusion grown in their vegetable garden in Cumbria.
Begin with thoroughly wet hair. Take the bar and rub it all over your scalp and down the shaft of your hair if you have long hair. Put the bar down and work it into a wonderful lather. You may have to do this a few times. Rub a dub dub. I may take a few times to get used to using the bar.
Please don't use your shampoo bar once or twice and decide you don't like it, everyone's hair is different and it may take a little time for your hair to adjust. It may take up to two weeks to rid your hair from all the residue left over from the chemicals in the commercial shampoos. Give your hair time to adjust to the lack of chemicals and hair product build up. But stick it out and get through this period and you will realise just how much healthier your hair is, it will be soft and shiny in no time!

|The Slutwalkers of Canada
Then, what is the point in dressing 'like' a slut? Let's just look at India? Who is a slut? How many of us have actually seen sluts? I have interacted with a couple of them from the devadasi community (the community of women segregated by the bloody brahminical caste system to do just sex work for upper caste men), and they were not different from any of the other women. Only that they did sex work for a living, while the rest of us did office work for a living; there was no other difference except for the difference in brutality that the class-conscious patriarchy had dealt with us and 'them.' And, today, the women organizing slutwalk, without taking into cognizance the brutality of patriarchy and its oppression on women who were termed sluts, seem to embrace the very word and even want to flaunt it! And, these are women who don't do sex work for a living, but somehow want to embrace the identity; how convenient is that?
|A Sold Cow
It's not without reason that one begins to think that a hypocritical society can only produce hypocritical and selfish struggles! The slutwalk India doesn't come into existence because women in Kashmir were raped by the armed forces or strong women like Thangjam Manorama were brutally assaulted by the Assam Rifles, or not even when women on city roads are habitually sexually assaulted, irrespective of the clothes one wears, but when a Canadian policeman shoots off his mouth! What about the policemen closer home, who constantly taunt, harass, and even murder women? How is that there's no such outrage? Do these women (the slutwalkers) feel more in solidarity with the western (read white-skinned) women than our own women, who do cringe, cry, and even commit suicide when harassed and termed a slut? Perhaps, there's a simple solution: women come out and accept the term slut and in fact look at it as a liberating experience to be called a slut and do sex work in a market where the consumers are predominantly men. Is this the limits of one's imagination or understanding of women liberation? This is perhaps the death of imagination, or a more sinister, neo-liberal-market-economy-dictated imagination!
|A 'taken' woman
We need to also identify how the market keeps bringing back these as fashion statements and women actually take to these as if these really make them look good! And, again look good for whom? For men! Perhaps, more than slutwalk, what we need are perhaps some lessons from history about how the sindoor came into existence; how sold out cows were marked on their foreheads with the vermilion and today the taken women (married) women have a vermilion marker on their foreheads!
I believe more than a slutwalk, what we need is for women to create a shared space that unites all women who are pummeled every day by patriarchy in a myriad of ways and break the roots of patriarchy and identify its ever changing colors and deal with it. But, can all women across classes and castes be united, without giving up the privileges of class and caste?
If the answer is no, and that the slutwalk is being organized only to represent the aspirations of a certain class of women, then don't claim to represent 'all' women or even the women who do sex work for a living, especially if you do not share their world view even by a decimal point. So much, yes so much work needs to be done before we could see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, especially for the Indian woman, and the slutwalk will only lead them into an even more darker tunnel that is conceived by the holy matrimony of patriarchy and the market.

To be honest, I am one lucky person who never experienced any kind of respiratory discomfort during springtime.
When I met my husband in 2013, he told me how annoying and sometimes painful these seasonal allergies could be. His started when he was a kid, and since then, he tried absolutely everything to get rid of them. Injections, over the counter medicine, you name it.
Little did he know I would soon make him my long term case study!
Being the owner of a restaurant, his allergies really get in the way of everything. Can you imagine serving dishes when you need to sneeze every ten seconds? It goes without saying, that this part of the year was always a major issue for him.
Initially, it would last about two to three weeks, some days better, some worse. Eventually, he always ended up washed-up and tired, not being able to sleep soundly anymore, and physically exhausted from sneezing and blowing his nose.
I started my research within French aromatherapy, as I am from France. My favorite book was Pharmacist Danièle Festy's "Ma bible des huiles essentielles", where I found an interesting preventative treatment with tarragon essential oil (Artemisia dracunculus). Of course, it implied internal intake of the essential oil.
Ingestion is a tricky topic, and now that I have done more research about it, I tend to stay on the cautious side, although I do ingest essential oils when needed and appropriate (of course, not any oil, and only to deal with a very specific issue).
Ingestion of Tarragon essential oil is rather contraindicated1, so I decided to go for a topical application with a low dilution.
My treatment plan had two different approaches:
- Use essential oils as a preventative, two to three weeks before the beginning of the season.
- When the allergies start, providing relief throughout the day.
Prevention Blend
My prevention blend recipe is the following, a 5% dilution of 45 drops essential oil in 1oz. of jojoba oil. (This recipe for adults only!)
|Essential Oils and Carrier/Base Products
|Purpose /Intention
|Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus)
|6 drops
|Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum)
|Rich in camazulene – a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic3
|6 drops
|Lemon (Citrus limon)
|Immune enhancer, detoxifier
|15 drops
|Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora)
|Immune enhancer, respiratory system support
|18 drops
|Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis)
|Carrier oil
|1 ounce
How this was used:
He would rub this blend on his chest twice a day for two to three weeks.
Symptom Relief Blend
Once the symptoms started, I made him a chest salve and a pocket inhaler to carry around, using the same synergy, so his symptoms would stay under control.
45 drops of essential oils, in 1oz of salve:
|Essential Oils and Carrier/Base Products
|Purpose /Intention
|Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)
|Decongestant, expectorant
|6 drops
|Niaouli (Melaleuca quinquinervia)
|Anti-allergenic, decongestant
|15 drops
|Peppermint (Mentha x. piperita)
|Strengthening, expectorant, antispasmodic
|3 drops
|Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
|Anti-inflammatory, calming, nurturing
|21 drops
|Beeswax (Cera alba)
|Emulsifier, humectant, rigidity
|3 grams
|Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis)
|Carrier oil
|1 ounce
See this article for how to make a salve.
We have followed this treatment every year until now, and the positive results achieved are one of the main reasons why my husband became a fervent supporter of aromatherapy. We managed to keep the duration of the symptoms under a week – some years even only a few days – and whenever they are bothering him, he can find comfort in essential oils during the day while working normally.
The next step to this treatment plan – there is always room for improvement – is to work at keeping his stress in check before allergy season, since stress can play an important role in the severity of the symptoms.
May you weather the season of sneezes well this year with a little aromatic support!

I love fashion! I have enlisted pinch hit photographers for my outfit of the day pictures when Katy is unavailable. The result is a bunch of different poses. I am going all out Zoolander silly with the wispy look away thing – so funny!

Tashionista on Fashion
Here are the #ootd Instagram pics that I hadn't posted (have I?). Oh well, I can't remember. I haven't done a fashion blog post in a while. It seems that I may be running out of new combinations and so, we are talking a lot of re-runs.
I just received all the March issues of all my fashion magazine subscriptions. They are so thick with the Spring collections! Makes me desire new stuff. I am loving what Marc Jacobs is doing. Just saw the fashion show on-line. It was cute mini dresses with oversized jackets and mid-calf boots (and funny bowler hats). Loved the proportions. I feel the urge to on-line shop…. Someone should really try to stop me.
Dressing the Part
I am back to work and school! It is fun getting dressed up, not so fun going into a building with no air conditioning, but I adjusted to it within days. And today – it actually felt cold in here!
I spent the summer in exercise clothes, bikinis and shorts. I hiked seven miles a day and did pilates twice a week or so. Working on fitting teaching into my exercise schedule, lol.
As for artwork, I took down my art show at the Sullivan Library in Chittenango, New York, and I plan to exhibit the Talisman paintings in October at the Half Moon Bakery and Bistro in Jamesville, New York. Eight paintings are still on display in the Lawrence Pavilion at Summit Medical Group in New Jersey. They will be there until January, I think, unless the show gets extended.
Penny Santy is showing her paintings in the Chittenango Middle School library! She will give a presentation about them on November 15, 2016. I am planning to do some projects based on her work. Four classes will be doing oil pastels or paintings of cows and bulls as part of my SLO tests.
In addition, I'm planning lessons on George Rodrigue, Jasper Johns, Keith Haring, Wolf Kahn, Japanese wood block prints and Greek mythology. So fun!
Last Licks
Here I am, officially home from the last day of school. I will be heading over to the Sullivan Library in Chittenango, New York in a bit to install my annual summer art show. It will hang through August 2016!
I have many plans for my summer – travel, parties and lots of art shows. I thought last summer was my best ever, so I am really looking forward to all the fun and surprises in store for me in the next two months. I don't know why I am certain it will be even better, lol, but I get the feeling that my life is getting better and better every minute…because it is!
Here are my final outfits of the day (#ootd) from the past couple of weeks. No more outfit pics for a while since I will be living in Champion sports gear and Trina Turk bikinis, although I just received my new Trina Turk top and am dying to wear it. Lord & Taylor had a CRAZY sale on-line – 30% off almost everything plus an additional 15% off on top!
I love fashion!
Happy, happy summer!
Classroom Tashionista
Here are my most recent #ootd pictures. I am grateful for Katy Conden, my fellow art teacher, work colleague and all around bestie who has been taking such good pictures with my Samsung Galaxy 6. She makes it so fun to vogue it up every morning.
I am getting my hair done more frequently these days. Amanda LaDue at Miracles in Fayetteville, NY is a true miracle worker. She has single-handedly transformed my look. The other day one of my work colleagues told me that I look younger now than I did ten years ago when we first started working at the middle school together! That is so sweet!
It is such a thrill to get such positive responses on Facebook and on Instagram as well, where a lot of other fashion bloggers are giving me kudos, most notably the local fashion sylist, Jackie Terribile (@thesmalltownstylist) She is a friend of my little sister. Jackie blogs about the Syracuse fashion scene and does some guest hosting on a local morning show.
I am a lot older than the typical fashion blogger so, yes, it is all so flattering and wonderful. I am empowered by Madonna's statement about her Met Gala outfit and the idea that age should not even be relevant when it comes to fashion, beauty and all that.
The above picture was taken by Roberta Mou, the Home & Careers teacher (when Katy was absent one day). Note the kitchen background. I am never normally in a kitchen, lol. I never cook except to make cupcakes once and a while for the art talks we have at school.
I wore this white dress on a day I was demonstrating an India Ink lesson! I wore two smocks. In my defense, I love this dress and I can't just stare at it in my closet and not wear it once and a while. I am going to an event at the end of the month that has a dress code – resort casual – and this dress is perfect except for the color. It is literally never appropriate to wear white to anything wedding-related unless you are the bride.
Nine West asked to repost the above picture on their website and on their Instagram account. Those sandals are my most recent purchase. They are so comfortable. They come in two other colors – emerald green is one of them. They have a zipper in back and a gladiator style lace-up in front. I love the support this style offers!
The beaded cross necklace – my mother got it from the Indian Village at the New York State Fair in the 1940s. I am in love with it! I built many of my outfits in the past two weeks around this blue, gray, beige and gold color scheme.
Now that the school fair is over, it is pretty much smooth sailing until the end of the school year. Hopefully, the backgrounds in my #ootd pictures will improve, meaning I will start cleaning the room and putting away unnecessary supplies. (Sure I will.) And then before we know it, it will be summer vacation!
Yeah, I guess I am not a typical fifty-something, lol. No cooking or cleaning, but a big yes to a stress-free aesthetic in four-inch heels.
Neutrality is a Cool Cat
I guess I feel most comfortable wearing neutral colors – black, white, gray, beige, navy blue….
People keep making comments to me about my wardrobe – that it seems unlimited, that my closet must be colossal, et cetera.
It is an illusion, I think, because I have repeated a lot of separates, although I try to mix things up enough in order to create new looks. And I have to admit, this is a lot easier when you stick with neutrals.
One of my friends wants me to be her stylist and while I love fashion, I cannot see myself as someone else's personal shopper. Fashion reflects one's personality, of course, but as well as I know her, I can't be limited by a budget. If I desire something, I don't stop until I get it. I know that other people, my friend included, do not generally live by that creed.
Case in point – I just bought two evening dresses – a gown and a cocktail dress – for upcoming events (a BCBG Max Azria and a Jill Jill Stuart!).
They were in the $300 price point range. So…I will be driving to work on fumes for three more days. I have also lost three pounds, lol, no food in the house. No biggie. Everything always ends up working out for the best.
Hey – if I sell every "cat" painting I brought to the Summit Medical Group art exhibit (in the Lawrence Pavilion Lower Lobby Gallery) in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, I will make $11,800 less a 10% donation to that local animal care charity.
That's enough to buy at least a few more clothes. That show starts April 25, 2016. It is open to the public – my favorite type of art show – a captive audience, people who may not seek out art venues but are at the offices for other reasons. It's my bread and butter (ha ha – figuratively. You know I don't eat bread or dairy).
The opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, May 5th, 2016 from 5:00-8:00 pm. Summit Medical Group is located at 1 Diamond Hill Road, Lawrence Pavilion, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922. Call (908) 277-8806 for more information.
#ootd on Time
Here are the outfits I wore to work from the past couple of weeks. I donned my orange Trina Turk dress on Friday in support of Syracuse University sports (my alma mater). The men's and women's basketball teams did well this year. They both made it to the Final Four! There was so much excitement in this town. I watched the last three games at different venues and it has been a blast. Last night, the crowd was disappointed with the outcome, but that energy turned into an amazing night of dancing to the live band that took the stage at Shifty's once the game ended.
Of course, Mother Nature took the loss a bit harder and decided to give us back our snow!
How crazy is this? It is the view from my back porch taken a minute ago. Yes, just this morning! Funny, because yesterday I was contemplating whether or not I would mow the lawn today….
My 5th graders finally finished their wood sculptures. They are currently on display in the school library. Next we will tackle a slab/hand built clay sculpture. I haven't done the lesson in ten years, which was the last time I taught 5th grade art, so that should be fun!
My Studio in Art class is working on a mixed-media still life drawing and the rest of my 8th graders are painting their clay projects. They have a choice of metallic paint or fluorescents. The glow-in-the-dark element is soooo fun! One of my students donated his black light to the classroom. We can now check the projects in progress to see if the paint is covering well. Thanks, Joe S.!
The end of the marking period is fast approaching, leaving only ten weeks of school for the year! Wow. It was about this time last year that I got my first cell phone. Yeah, I know! I was living under a rock for the first fifteen years of the new millennium.
Stephanie G., one of my Studio in Art students from last year, was the one who told me about #ootd (outfit of the day). I guess you can blame her for turning me into a fashion monster, lol.
But, of course, I was already coo-coo ca-ca for fashion. It seems as though time has flown by this school year but at the same time… it seems to be standing still. I don't feel as though I am aging. I actually really love the way I have finally caught up to myself. To my dreams for myself, I mean. Because suddenly, I'm achieving everything the real me has ever wanted.
And in the process, I have found my life's purpose. Giving visual voice to local artists. Assisting them in any way I can to help them achieve their goals and dreams. Offering positive energy to students – not to persuade them to have art careers necessarily, but to help them fall in love with art, with the arts. And to believe in themselves in the way that they know they can achieve anything they want. That they should not stop working towards a goal until either they achieve it or stop desiring it.
It's taken me a while to learn this stuff, but time hasn't actually mattered, if that makes any sense. This journey has been the true gift.
Okay, time to throw on the giant parka and venture out into the April sprinter (winter in spring?) wonderland on my way to a brunch date with one of my besties. But first I need to decide what to wear….

A Fox Lake man is facing a felony charge after police said he drove his pickup truck into a home near Spring Grove, pinning a woman under it.
About 1:45 a.m. Sunday, Lake County Sheriff's deputies responded to a vehicle tjat crased into a house in the 28900 block of South Avenue in unincorporated Spring Grove, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Deputies discovered a white 2009 GMC pickup intruded several feet into the home and a 71-year-old woman, who had been sleeping at the time of the crash, pinned under the truck.
The driver of the truck, identified as 28-year-old Talon C. Franz, had fled the scene, according to the release.
Upon further investigation, deputies heard from witnesses that the pickup truck had been traveling north on Route 12 at a high rate of speed and struck a 2018 Volkswagen SUV.
The female homeowner was freed and taken to the Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. The driver and passenger of the Volkswagen also were taken to the same hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Franz was found at his home and was charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury traffic crash, reckless driving, failure to report a traffic crash, improper lane use, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
The most serious charge, leaving the scene of a personal injury traffic crash, a Class 3 felony, carries a possible penalty of three to seven years in prison.
Franz remains held in the Lake County Jail on $75,000 bail. He is next due in court 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Day the World Ended (1955) was the fourth film directed by Roger Corman. Rick (Richard Denning) is a heroic scientist who, among others, must face off against a mutant monster (Paul Blaisdell) after an atomic war destroys human civilization. Chet Huntley of NBC, later of The Huntley-Brinkley Report, narrates. The film was released by American International Pictures as a double feature with The Beast with a Million Eyes.
The film is referred to in a 2001 horror film of the same title, The Day the World Ended. The film was remade in 1967 with the title In the Year 2889 with the dialogue repeated almost entirely verbatim.
The film starts later in the day, following an all-out atomic war, which has apparently destroyed most (if not all) human civilization, and has left the Earth contaminated with radioactive fallout. The apparent single exception is a box canyon, surrounding by lead-bearing cliffs, in which former Navy Commander Jim Maddison, lives with his daughter, Louise, in a home stocked with supplies against just such a holocaust. Into this natural bomb shelter come stumbling several survivors, who just by chance were inside the canyon when the war occurred.
After initially refusing to admit the others, Jim relents when his daughter pleads with him and appeals to his humanity. Among the survivors are a geologist, Rick (Richard Denning), who just by coincidence happens to specialize in uranium mining, and a small-time hood, Tony (Mike Connors - billed in the film as "Touch" Connors),with his "moll" Ruby, on their way to San Francisco.
After establishing the basic characters, the film presents two obvious struggles for survival: the first is the simple question of whether the radioactive fallout will dissipate, and if so, before the rain comes to wash what's in the atmosphere down to Earth, contaminating their shelter.
The second threat comes in the form of a giant, hideous monster, which seems bent on killing anything it comes across, but only eating those creatures which are contaminated by fallout.
A less obvious, but no less dangerous threat, is the hidden menace of Tony; although seemingly charming and helpful to the others, his true character and intentions are revealed to the audience: he wants the other men out of the way, so that he can have the two women to himself.
In a climactic final act, all three dangers coincide, as the monster kidnaps Louise, but then releases her into a small lake, where he is obviously afraid to enter. Rick appears and attacks the creature, which then runs away, as it begins to rain. Following the creature, they find it destroyed by the rain, and realize that it used to be Louise's missing fiance. Tony, having stabbed Ruby to death when she realizes that he wants to be with the younger Louise, then steals Jim's pistol and waits to waylay Rick when he returns with Louise. As he takes aim at the approaching Rick, Jim reveals a second, concealed pistol, and shoots Tony dead.
Jim then dies from radiation poisoning, but not before revealing that the rain is radiation-free and will wash away all of the remaining contamination, making the world safe to venture out into again, and that he has heard voices of other survivors on the radio. Rick and Louise, the final two survivors of the original group, walk hand in hand out of the canyon, with the end-card, "The Beginning" appearing on the screen.
James Nicholson of AIP thought up a title then commissioned Lou Rusoff to write a script. It was the second film by Golden State for the American Releasing Corp.
The film was shot over ten days. Denning was paid $7,500 plus a percentage.
It was released on a double bill with The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues.
The two of them proved popular, due in part to some savvy marketing by James H. Nicholson. Within two months of release the films had earned $400,000.
