This week, menacing union goons unleashed threats, profanity and punches in Michigan, which is now poised to become a "right-to-work" state. Obama met the initial outbreak of violence with the same response he's given to every other union outbreak of violence under his reign: dead silence.
On the floor of the Michigan legislature on Tuesday, Democratic state Rep. Douglas Geiss thundered: "We're going to pass something that will undo 100 years of labor relations, and there will be blood. There will be repercussions!" Geiss referenced the Battle of the Overpass, a violent 1937 incident between the United Auto Workers and corporate security officers for the Ford Motor Company. Dozens of union activists were beaten.
But Geiss wasn't crying victim. This was clearly a signal to the brass-knuckled Big Labor bosses, whom Obama egged on during his Monday visit to the state. Obama inveighed against right to work with his usual class warfare dog-whistle. The thugs heard it loud and clear.
As the Michigan House voted inside to approve right-to-work legislation allowing workers to choose whether or not to join/fund unions as a condition of employment, protesters outside the state Capitol ambushed a tented information booth sponsored by the pro-right-to-work state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Angry union mobsters were filmed cursing and screaming just before the attack.
One hurled an unidentified object at police officers. Another screamed at a citizen journalist filming the chaos: "Freedom of speech this, you f'n fascist a**hole!" Several peaceful AFP members and supporters were stomped on and punched while trapped under the tent as the labor operatives chanted: "This is what democracy looks like." Young Michigan conservative activist and YouTube entrepreneur Steven Crowder was beaten by at least two union assailants while trying to protect the tent and those inside.
Of course, this is just more of the same twisted "civil and honest public discourse" of the administration's union protection squad:
--May 2010: The Service Employees International Union buses in 700 workers from 20 states to storm Bank of America deputy general counsel Gregory Baer's neighborhood and terrorize his youngest son while at home alone in Chevy Chase, Md. The tactic is straight from an SEIU intimidation manual on using community groups to "damage an employer's public image and ties with community leaders and organizations."
--September 2010: AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka praises Nancy Pelosi for taking Obamacare and driving "it down the Republicans' throats and out their backsides."
--August 2011: Striking Communications Workers of America declare "open season" on Verizon. Dozens of cases of sabotaged cable lines are reported.
--September 2011: ILWU bosses lead a "Days of Rage" protest at Port of Longview, Wash., taking a half-dozen guards hostage, sabotaging railroad cars, dumping grain, smashing windows, cutting brake lines, threatening a local TV station and blocking trains in violation of a judicial restraining order.
--February 2011: A Communications Workers of America union thug is caught on tape striking a young female FreedomWorks activist in Washington, D.C.
--February 2011: A Providence, R.I., union supporter says to a cameraman: "I'll f**k you in the ass, you faggot."
--February 2011: Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts revs up Big Labor goons by urging them to "get a little bloody."
--March 2011: Racist SEIU supporters in Denver, Colo., taunt gay black tea party activist and entrepreneur Leland Robinson, who criticized teachers unions at a Capitol rally, by calling him "son," telling him to "get behind that fence where you belong," and jeering, "Do you have any children? That you claim?"
--March 2011: In Madison, Wis., an unhinged crowd of AFSCME, UFCW and SEIU union protesters corner a Wisconsin GOP senator shouting, "F**k you!" and "Shame!"
--August 2011: In Boston, local IBEW 827 storms Verizon Senior Vice President Bill Foshay's neighborhood. Union members scream, "We're here to fight" in front of his private residence on a weekend afternoon.
--September 2011: Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa screams: "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out..."
--December 2011: Union-endorsed port protests in Oakland, Calif., Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego and Houston cause massive commerce disruptions, lost wages, property destruction and untold injuries. A year later, ports are shut down on the West Coast during the busy holiday season, and another set of union port strikes -- spearheaded by the violence-prone ILWU and ILA -- threaten the East and Gulf coasts at the end of the month.
We should "do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations," Obama lectured just over a year ago from his politeness pulpit. In the age of Obama, it's Opposite Day 365 days a year.

After pummeling Benedictine on January 13, the St. Stephen's and St. Agnes Saints have dropped three consecutive games, including a 52-44 loss to Landon on Tuesday.
The two teams traded the lead throughout the matchup, but the Bears' 17-point fourth quarter put the game out of the Saints' reach. Despite the loss seniors Justin Goldsborough and Phil Guglielmo enjoyed 16-point performances.
The struggling Saints are 3-10 and 0-5 in their district. They fell against Bullis and St. Albans prior to their loss to Landon. The team hits the road Friday to take on Georgetown Prep. The last time the teams met, the Little Hoyas left Alexandria with a 76-59 victory.

In a nutshell, the best cheesecakes you have ever tasted. Period. I'm no food critic, but the cheesecakes simply melt the moment it touches your mouth. Each of the 12 flavours simply have that "perfect taste". From strawberry to pineapple to tiramisu, Cat & the Fiddle has truly mastered the art of cheesecakes, and it's totally worth the rather expensive $50 price.
Love their cheese cakes, it was so awesome. Their cakes were not too cheezy and the sweetness was just right . Will order again :) .
Got the fickle feline cheesecake which comes with 10 different flavours. Super worth it considering you get to try all the different cheesecake flavours the shop has to offer. Home delivery was really fast and on time !!
One of the best cheesecakes I can find in Singapore - on par with international shops. Tried the multi flavor one as we had different requests in the party and everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
It would be good to allow for ordering online (on a website) instead of auto-direct to the App. The app tends to hang at times and not that user-friendly too. Have been frustrated with it that I gave up ordering several times. Thanks!
Definitely the best cheesecake I have ever tasted! Ordered Fickle Feline for my husband's birthday and we loved it, specially the salted caramel piece which was simply terrific! The delivery was timely and the person who delivered was very friendly - " we did enjoy the cake, thanks!"
Cheesecake here is really great and really cheap as well! The packaging and the store front looks really nice and colorful as well! They have lots of flavors available here for the cheesecakes, wide variety of payment options, it is also really cheap for a slice of cheesecake! Totally worth it!
My go to place for cheesecakes. Their cheesecakes are rich, flavorful and creamy. I'm always excited to try new flavors each time I'm there. The good thing about the Clarke Quay outlet is that you can purchase individual sliced cakes instead of whole ones (as the Tai Seng outlet allows for purchase of whole cakes only)
I went to pickup from their warehouse place directly at Tai Seng industrial estate as it was a really last minute affair for my parent's birthday cake, i ordered the salted caramel one and it was absolutely indulgent and awesome! It was a perfect blend of sweet , salty and a little bitter after taste which made the cake an absolute treat, highly recommend this! Gonna try their other flavors in future!
Cat & the Fiddle has a really wide range of cheesecakes to choose from. The cakes are delicious, not too sweet and reasonably priced. I placed an order at night and could collect my cake the very next morning! Collection process was super easy and fast.Their location was easy to find as well.
Picked up my 'Naughty & Nice' cake today at Cat & the Fiddle's HQ. It's my first time trying their cheesecakes, and the staff who passed me my order was prompt and polite. The cake itself was rich, tasty and filling - would recommend and consider ordering again for another special occasion. Thanks! ^^
Ordered them for an office birthday party. Love the idea that we can order different slices within the cake itself, AND that the slices are readily sliced for easy distribution. My favourite was the orange yuzu one.
Lovely cheesecakes, interesting flavours, good service, and great value. The balance of the cheese is perfect. Best eaten very cold.
Was really tasty and fresh cheesecake! Would recommend to my friends and definitely buy it myself again!
Great choices of different flavoured cheesecakes available. I'm a big fan of the durian mao shan wang cheesecake and the naughty and nice! Will definitely recommend. :)
Ordered the Milo Dinosaur cheesecake for some family birthday celebrations and it was a bit! The oldies loved the twist on the traditional cheesecake with a local drink fave. The cake itself was not too sweet not too fluffy - arguably one of the best cheesecakes we've had in Singapore! Delivery was a breeze and had no issues with missing items. We're looking forward to trying more flavours!
It was my colleague's birthday today and I totally forgot about it. When I found out, it was too late to go out to buy a cake. Googled same day delivery birthday cakes and found Cat and The Fiddle. Cake delivered fresh and neatly packed, the person who delivered it was nice and friendly.. and all my colleagues asked where I got the cake from because the taste and texture was just THAT great. Thank you for the excellent service, will definitely order from you again �
One of my friend's mum love cheesecakes! It was her birthday the other day and we couldn't make up our minds on what cake to get. I managed to chance upon cat and the fiddle, saw the fickle feline 2.0 and thought it was the ideal cake to get due to the different flavors and everybody could try all of them. It was the best choice I've ever made!!!! Everybody loved it, collection of cake was really convenient and easy as well! We loved all the flavors provided and everyone had a fair share of their personal favorites. Such an awesome and wonderful idea, not forgetting that it tasted delicious as well! Definitely going to order again the next time :)

Kylie Jenner Sweet 16 -- $150,000 IN GIFT BAGS ... Headphones, Makeup, Jewelry
Kylie Jenner Sweet 16 $150,000 IN GIFT BAGS Headphones, Makeup, Jewelry
The best part of Kylie Jenner's Sweet 16 party this weekend? LEAVING ... because on their way out, 150+ guests received insane parting gifts -- in the form of luxury goodie bags valued at over $1000 each -- and TMZ has pics of the loot.
Kylie rung in the big 1-6 this Saturday at the AT&T Building in L.A. with her family and other celebs -- like Drake and Big Sean -- and seeing as she's hitting her peak in life, Kylie naturally pulled out all the stops.
But the parting gifts were the coolest part -- the youngest Kardashian family member handed out swag bags filled with 808 headphones, iPod speakers, Kardashian brand makeup, jewelry from her own jewelry line, gift cards, and a bunch of other crap.
Each bag is valued at more than $1000 a pop -- and with over 150 guests at the shindig, that's a big investment in trinkets.
But it probably didn't come out of Kylie's pocket -- fact is, the Kardashian/Jenner name is such a big deal, vendors undoubtedly donated their stuff for free hoping to get their brands in the press. And congrats, it worked.
Still doesn't beat hosting your Sweet 16 in your uncle's friend's Greek restaurant basement. Opa!

Our dog bite attorneys in Traverse City represent clients injured by dog bites and in dog attacks. These dog bites often result in serious injuries and require medical treatment. Common injuries suffered in a Traverse City dog bite attack include:
- Scars on the face, arms, and legs
- Nerve damage
- Broken bones and bone fractures
- Psychological injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Victims of a dog bite or dog attack can be left with permanent scars and disfigurement. Often, dog bite victims will require emergency medical care for sutures, plastic surgery, and rabies shots. Many times, a plastic surgeon will not even attempt to repair the scar for several years after the attack, leaving the victim with a disfiguring and conspicuous scar for everyone to see.
In addition, the medical expenses for emergency treatment and plastic surgery resulting from the dog bite can be significant. These expenses are included in a claim made against the dog owner or keeper of the dog when we file a dog bite case. We also make claims for the pain and sufferings caused by the attack and seek compensation for the scar and any other disfigurement. We have obtained significant settlements for clients injured in these dog attacks.
Quite often, the victim of the dog attack files a report with either the local police or local Animal Control agency. When a report is filed, it is necessary to obtain report. Our firm routinely obtains these for our clients.
These are available to you by simply contacting the agency where the report was filed and requesting the report. There is usually a small fee for the report. For a report filed with local Animal Control, you should request the Animal Control report at the following location:Traverse City Police Department 851 Woodmere Avenue Traverse City, MI 49686 231-995-5150
For more information about your legal rights in a Traverse City dog bite case, call us now at (800) 606-1717 to speak with an experienced Michigan dog bite lawyer or simply submit the on page contact form and we will get back with you quickly.

Installing a Development Environment
We recommend:
See the Dependencies section for information on obtaining appropriate versions of a JDK, the Cygwin environment, the BYacc/J parser generator, and the zipping tools.
The E Source Distribution
For Windows users, we recommend downloading the zip of E source distribution.
Compilation Notes
There are still some deprecated methods used in this release. You can safely ignore these warnings for now.
Building from Makefiles
To build the release, cd to the e/src directory and type make. Be sure that "cygwin/bin" is on your PATH ahead of Windows directories, like "C:/WINDOWS/COMMAND". In particular, some have had problems finding the wrong "make.exe" and "find.exe". Be sure the version of both of these found on your PATH are the ones in "cygwin/bin".
Building in a Java IDE
E itself is a pure Java program. If you don't need to rebuild the installation tools, you can happily develop E using a Java-only development environment, such as Symantec's Visual Cafe (>= 4.1 Standard Edition). For concreteness, and because it's what I use, I'll explain how to build a Cafe project for E, but users of other development environments should easily see how to do likewise in their system. The following instructions assume that you unpack your sources into "d:/e/src", and that you install into "c:/Program Files/erights.org".
To start with, create a "New Project". For a project type, select "Empty Project" since we don't want it generating new source files for us. Select "Project Options". Under the "Project" tab, deselect "Enable RAD for New Files" since this is needless overhead for us. The "Project Type" should be "Application - A program that requires a java.exe to run".
For the "Main Class" enter "org.erights.e.elang.interp.Interp" -- the class whose main() is the top of the E interpreter. Your command line arguments string should be
"-De.home=c:/Program Files/erights.org" "d:/e/src/esrc/scripts/elmer.e"
Elmer is a good way to test each new build of E.
On the "Compiler" tab, we recommend deselecting "Show command line", but salt to taste.
On the "Directories" tab, for "Show directories for", first select "Input class files". This is where you enter the equivalent of the CLASSPATH. You should enter the following in this order:
For "Output files", "Output directory", enter "d:\e\classes". This is where Cafe's compiler will place the *.class files.
Now we need to suck all the e\src\jsrc\*.java files into the project. Right click in the Project pane and select "Insert files". Navigate to the directory "e\src\jsrc", select "subfolders", click on "Add All", and then click on "Ok". Wait while it adds all these files to your project. Once it's done, be sure to remember to save your project or Save All.
Finally, on the "Project" menu, select "Run in Debugger". Hopefully, after everything successfully compiles, you'll see an Elmer window. You are now running Elmer under the Cafe debugger. Have fun!

Atchison History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
An ancient Strathclyde-Briton family from the Scottish/English Borderlands were the first to use the name Atchison. They lived in Berwickshire.
Early Origins of the Atchison family
The surname Atchison was first found in Berwickshire an ancient county of Scotland, presently part of the Scottish Borders Council Area, located in the eastern part of the Borders Region of Scotland, where one of the first records of the name was Johannes filius Ade was a "custumar" of North Berwick in 1384 and later appears as John Atkynsoun in 1387. [1]
Early History of the Atchison family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Atchison research. Another 67 words (5 lines of text) covering the years 1408, 1563, 1552, 1558, 1580, 1634, 1621, 1628, 1580, 1634, 1000, 1611, 1638, 1629, 1685, 1657, 1657, 1655, 1701, 1695, 1699, 1695, 1688, 1748, 1727, 1748 and 1728 are included under the topic Early Atchison History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Atchison Spelling Variations
Before the printing press standardized spelling in the last few hundred years, no general rules existed in the English language. Spelling variations in Scottish names from the Middle Ages are common even within a single document. Atchison has been spelled Acheson, Acherson, Atcherson, Aitcheson, Aitchison, Atcheson, Achison and many more.
Early Notables of the Atchison family (pre 1700)
Another 46 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Atchison Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Atchison Ranking
In the United States, the name Atchison is the 4,078th most popular surname with an estimated 7,461 people with that name. [2]
Migration of the Atchison family to Ireland
Some of the Atchison family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
For Scottish immigrants, the great expense of travel to North America did not seem such a problem in those unstable times. Acres of land awaited them and many got the chance to fight for their freedom in the American War of Independence. These Scots and their ancestors went on to play important roles in the forging of the great nations of the United States and Canada. Among them:
Atchison Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Atchison Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Atchison Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Emigration to Australia followed the First Fleets of convicts, tradespeople and early settlers. Early immigrants include:
Atchison Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include:
Atchison Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
USS Arizona
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Ane chast arbor
Motto Translation: One pure tree.

Those are so cute. Nice job!ReplyDelete
Love this!! I am going to get some cans tomorrow & try this out!ReplyDelete
hey crissy this is awesome.. I love it, is there any chance you have a larger picture of the close-up flower in blue jar (the one you have in the header? )I would love to feature it! :)ReplyDelete

How is it that you are fixing them together? it looks like they have a bead or button in the middle, but no clues in the tools list.ReplyDelete
Wow. I love this idea! I am going to try some of these. The only thing that worries me is I have a lot of grandkids and I know the edges on these are sharp. They would have to be kept up high. Beautiful idea!ReplyDelete
I absolutely LOVE this!!! I left my coke can unpainted so the red and coca-cola logo was on top... Thanks for the awesome idea!!!ReplyDelete
Hey, could you check out my brand new craft blog? I need some followers!ReplyDelete
oops... it's http://theindigobucket.blogspot.comReplyDelete
I was so thankful I found this site! A stranger I didn't know gave me a cream soda and I wanted to pay him back in a unique way so I created a flower from the same pop can he gave me. This is such a great idea!!ReplyDelete
These are so neat! I'm going to try it for sure. Thanks!ReplyDelete

The flowers are GORGEOUS, but I have a concern: are the edges of the flowers sharp at all? If so, is there a way to treat them to deal with that potential issue?ReplyDelete
Que delícia achar o blog de uma brasileira mostrando como se faz artesanato no Brasil. Amei suas rosas!! Ficaram realmente super lindas!!!ReplyDelete
Tenho visto essas rosas nas feiras, a maneira de fazer pode ser a mesma, mas o jetiinho e o talento é único!!
Bjs e um ótimo restinho de semana e um final de semana melhor ainda!!!
So pretty! This is my next project I am trying and I may have to take up drinking Arizona tea to make that beautiful flower!ReplyDelete
Coloquei um link no meu blog!!!!!!!
Really pretty.ReplyDelete
I was wondering how you keep the edges from being so sharp.
What do you use to sand them?
I'm just now finding this. Thank you so much for posting. I found a pretty Arizona tea can in the middle of the road and hopped out and picked it up! Already made a rose out of it and bought some more metal to work with. Thanks again! -Beth S. In TexasReplyDelete
Just found you on CSI and WOW!!!! These are awesome!ReplyDelete
This is very interesting ...I like your craft ideas !! Melbourne floristReplyDelete
Best tutorial EVER!!!ReplyDelete
I made this and wrote a little blog post on my blog :) (its rather new blog, still a baby haha) http://takemetothetime.blogspot.com/2013/12/arizona-tea-flowers.htmlReplyDelete
Those look great! How clever. I'm going to try them soon.ReplyDelete

Frequently Asked Questions
From Linux-VServer
We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or look at the old wiki to find the information not migrated yet.
To ease migration we created a List of old Documentation pages.
What is a 'Guest'?
What kind of Operating System (OS) can I run as guest?
Is this a new project? When was it started?
Which distributions did you test?
Is VServer comparable to XEN/UML/QEMU?
With which version should I begin?
Is VServer secure?
What is the "great flower page"?
Resources usage
Resource sharing?
- memory: Dynamically.
- CPU usage: Dynamically (token bucket)
Resource limiting?
- using ulimits and rlimits (rlimit is a new feature of kernel 2.6/vs2.0.) per guest, to limit the memory consumption, the number of processes or file-handles, ... : see Resource Limits
- CPU usage : see CPU Scheduler
- disk space usage : see Disk Limits and Quota
How do I limit a guests RAM? I want to prevent OOM situations on the host!
If you want a recipe, do this:
- Check the size of memory pages. On x86 and x86_64 is usually 4 KB per page.
- Create /etc/vserver/<guest>/rlimits/
- Check your physical memory size on the host, e.g. with "free -m". maxram = kilobytes/pagesize.
- Limit the guests physical RAM to value smaller then maxram:
echo %%insertYourPagesHereSmallerThanMaxram%% > /etc/vserver/<guest>/rlimits/rss
- Check your swapspace, e.g. with 'swapon -s'. maxswap = swapkilobytes/pagesize.
- Limit the guest's maximum number of as pages to a value smaller than (maxram+maxswap):
echo %%desiredvalue%% > /etc/vserver/<guest>/rlimits/as
- Correctly display the memory information inside the guest:
echo "VIRT_MEM" >> /etc/vservers/<guest>/flags
Disk I/O limiting? Is that possible?
# cat /sys/block/hdc/queue/scheduler noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq
The default is anticipatory a.k.a. "AS". When running several guests on a host you probably want the I/O performance shared in a fair way among the different guests. The kernel comes with a "completely fair queueing" scheduler, CFQ, which can do that. (More on schedulers can be found at http://lwn.net/Articles/114770/) This is how to set the scheduler to "cfq" manually:
root# echo "cfq" > /sys/block/hdc/queue/scheduler root# cat /sys/block/hdc/queue/scheduler noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]
Keep in mind that you have to do it on all physical discs. So if you run an md-softraid, do it to all physical /dev/hdXYZ discs! If you run Debian there is a predefined way to set the /sys values at boot-time:
# apt-get install sysfsutils [...] # grep cfq /etc/sysfs.conf block/sda/queue/scheduler = cfq block/sdc/queue/scheduler = cfq # /etc/init.d/sysfsutils restart
For non-vserver processes and CFQ you can set by which key the kernel decides about the fairness:
cat /sys/block/hdc/queue/iosched/key_type pgid [tgid] uid gid
Hint: The 'key_type'-feature has been removed in the mainline kernel recently. Don't look for it any longer :(
The default is tgid, which means to share fairly among process groups. Think every guest is treated like a own process group. It's not possible to set a scheduler strategy within a guest. All processes belonging to the same guest are treated like "noop" within the guest. So: If you run apache and some ftp-server within the _same_ guest, there is no fair scheduling between them, but there is fair scheduling between the whole guest and all other guests.And: It's possible to tune the scheduler parameters in several ways. Have a look at /sys/block/hdc/queue/....
Nice disk I/O scheduling, is that possible?
It's split into three groups, called real-time, best effort and idle. The default is best-effort, but within best-effort, you can have a niceness from 0 to and including 7. You can set this niceness by the tool ionice, which for debian is either in the package util-linux or schedutils. To change the io-niceness you need the CAP_SYS_NICE, and need to have the same uid as the processe you want to ionice.
- Note: If you want to use any schedulung other than best-effort you will also need the CAP_SYS_ADMIN-flag. Be warned that this gives quite some capabilities to the vserver, not just for I/O scheduling!
If you want to increase the niceness of an I/O hogging process within a vserver you need to do:
chcontext --xid sponlp1 sudo -u '#2089' ionice -c2 -n5 -p24409with sudo and ionice installed on the root server to increase the *nice*ness of pid 24409, with uid 2089
What is unification (vunify)?
What is vhashify?
It creates hardlinks to files named after a hash of the content of the file. If you have a recent version of the vserver patch (2.2+), with CONFIG_VSERVER_COWBL enabled, you can even modify the hardlinked files inside the vservers and the links will be broken automatically.There seems to be a catch when a hashified file has multiple hardlinks inside a guest, or when another internal hardlink is added after hashification. Link breaking will remove all the internal hardlinks too, so the guest will end up with different copies of the original file. The correct solution would be to not hashify files that have multiple links prior to hashification, and to break the link to the hashified version when a new internal hardlink is created. Apparently, this is not implemented yet (?).
How do I manage a multi-guest setup with vhashify?
mkdir /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/vunify/hash /vservers/.hash ln -s /vservers/.hash /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/vunify/hash/root
Then, do this one line per vserver:
mkdir /etc/vservers/<vservername>/apps/vunify # vhashify reuses vunify configuration
To hashify a running vserver, do (possibly from a cronjob):
vserver name-of-guest hashify
The guest needs to be running because vhashify tries to figure out what files not to hashify by calling the package manager of the guest via vserver enter.
In order for the OS cache to benefit from the hardlinking, you'll have to restart the vservers.
To clean up hashified files that are no longer referenced by any vserver, do (possibly from a cronjob):
find /vservers/.hash -type f -links 1 -print0 | xargs -0 rmUntil you do this, the files still take up place even though no vservers need them.
Filesystem usage
Is there a way to implement "user/group quota" per VServer?
What about "Quota" for a context? Howto limit disk usage?
How do I tag a guest's directory with xid?
Filesystem XID tagging only works on supported filesystem. Those are currently: ext2/3, reiserfs/reiser3, xfs and jfs. To activate the XID tagging you have to mount the filesystem with "-o tag" (former tagxid is outdated since VS2.2). Attention: It's _not_ possible to "-o remount,tag", you have to mount it freshly. The guests will tag their files automatiaclly. If you copy files in from the host, you have to tag them manually like this:
chxid -c xid -R /var/lib/vservers/<guest>
Note: Context 0 and 1 will see all files, guests will only be able to access untagged files and their own XID. They can see other XID files but no information about the file, e.g. no owner, no group, no permissions.Note: It is not advised to tag the root filesystem, as explained by Herbert : trying to do so will expose you to some troubles !
How can I copy anything from host to guest partition, normally unvisible on host?
vnamespace --enter <xid> -- /bin/bashand then use standard cp or rsync programs.
Does it support IPv6?
I can't do all I want with the network interfaces inside the guest?
How do I add several IPs to a vserver?
Here is a little helper-script that adds a list of IPs defined in a text file, one per line.
#!/bin/bash j=1 for i in `cat myiplist`; do j=$(($j+1)) mkdir $j echo $i > $j/ip echo "24" > $j/prefix done
How do I assign a new IP address to a running guest?
- add the ip on the host, for example
ip addr add 18.104.22.168/24 dev eth0
- add the ip to the guest's network context (a guests NID is the same as the XID {context ID})
naddress --add --nid <nid> --ip 18.104.22.168/24
- enter the guest (best via ssh)
- restart the services that need to make use of the new address if required
- update the config in /etc/vserver/<servername>/interfaces to reflect the changes for the next guest restart (if desired)
If my host has only one a single public IP, can I use RFC1918 IP (e.g. 192.168.foo.bar) for the guest vservers?
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s $VSERVER_NETZ ! -d $VSERVER_NETZ -j SNAT --to $EXT_IP
See: HowtoPrivateNetworking andhttp://www.tgunkel.de/it/software/doc/linux_server.en#h3-VServer_Masquerading_SNAT (THX, [MUPPETS]Gonzo)
If I shut down my vserver guest, the whole Internet interface ethX on the host is shut down. What happened?
Can I run an OpenVPN Server in a guest?
This is the minimal OpenVPN configuration for the Server which will be used to demonstrate how to get it running in a client:
# Networking setup server 192.168.16.0 255.255.255.0 dev tun16 ifconfig-noexec comp-lzo # Certificates dh ... ca ... cert ... key ... # Management persist-key keepalive 10 60 verb 4
First of all you have to prepare the host with a persistent interface in the right mode and with the right settings. This is easily done by using openvpn and the ip and route tools.
# openvpn --mktun --dev tun16 # ip link set dev tun16 txqueuelen 100 # ifconfig tun16 192.168.16.1 pointopoint 192.168.16.2 mtu 1500 # route add -net 192.168.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.16.2
If you need different settings, openvpn will tell you the ifconfig and route commands it uses to configure the interface when being started on the host with the original config file, but without ifconfig-noexec. Additionally, the guest needs /dev/net/tun to make OpenVPN happy. This can be created with MAKEDEV:
# cd /var/lib/vserver/<myopenvpnserver>/dev/ # ./MAKEDEV tun (creates the dev/net/tun device accessible by the guest - even a tap interface needs /dev/net/tun !)
Finally, the guest needs to have the tun device assigned:
# head /etc/vservers/<myopenvpnserver>/interfaces/1/* ==> /etc/vservers/<myopenvpnserver>/interfaces/1/ip <== 192.168.16.1 ==> /etc/vservers/<myopenvpnserver>/interfaces/1/nodev <== tun16 ==> /etc/vservers/<myopenvpnserver>/interfaces/1/prefix <== 24 #
The client's conf may look like that:
# Basic setup client proto tcp-client dev tun remote <ipaddress> comp-lzo verb 4 # Certificate ca ...[ Based on derJohn's original answer, all errors mine ]
Trying to connect to a vserver from the host or another vserver on the same host fails
sin_addr=inet_addr("xx.xx.xx.xx")}, yy) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
A: The host/guest cannot communicate with another guest on same host.
- check all netmasks on all interfaces (do they overlap) ?
- check policy routing (disable it temporary) ?
- check that lo is up (Networking within a host/guest always uses lo interface)
Can I use iptables ?
Is it possible to prevent guest from bringing down primary ip?
Administration tools
Which guest vservers are running?
CTX PROC VSZ RSS userTIME sysTIME UPTIME NAME 0 77 965.1M 334.6M 14m14s18 2m28s69 1h33m46 root server 49152 7 14M 5.2M 0m00s40 0m00s30 1h30m15 chiffon
Is there a web-based interface for vserver that will allow creation/deletion/configuration etc. of vserver guests?
- http://Openvcp.org which is a distributed system (agent!) with a web-interface, with which you can build/remove guests
- http://vsmon.revolutionlinux.com/ is a distributed monitoring-only solution that allows you to search for a particular vserver in your park.
Hosting foreign distributions
I run a Debian host and want to build an Ubuntu guest. Howto?
vserver vubuntu build --force -m debootstrap --hostname vubuntu.myvservers.net --netdev eth0 --interface 192.168.0.2/24 \ --context 42 -- -d breezy -m http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[UPDATE] Currently there are problems in building breezy under unclear circumstances, which seems to have to do with udev. If the above didnt work, try:
vserver vubuntu build --force -m debootstrap --hostname vubuntu.myvservers.net --netdev eth0 --interface 192.168.0.2/24 \ --context 42 -- -d breezy -m http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu -- --exclude=udev
In very recent versions of the utils, the problem should not occur anymore (it has to do with the 'secure-mount' if you look in the MLs)
Well, sid's debootstrap knows how to bootstrap Ubuntu linux. Make sure to have a current debootstrap package:
apt-get update apt-get install debootstrapThe knowledge how to build ubuntu 'breezy badger' (which you probably want to be your guest at the time of writing) has been added recently.
I want to build a Gentoo guest. Howto?
Application level problems
I did everything right, but the application foo does not start. What's up there?
When I try to ssh to the guest, I log into the host, even if I installed sshd on the guest. What's wrong here?
Port 22 # Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to #ListenAddress ::
And now change the setting to
Port 22 # Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to ListenAddress your.hosts.ip.here # not the guests IP!
Then '/etc/init.d/ssh restart' on the host, after that on the guest (if you did apt-get install ssh on the guest already.) Do I have to explain more? If the hosts sshd binds all available IP addresses on port 22 (The hosts 'sees' even all addresses of the guests!). So if the guest starts its sshd, it can't bind to port 22 any more. You need to change that setting only on the host.(BTW: A similar approach has to be done for a lot of daemons, e.g. Apache. If the daemon does not support an explicit bind, you may use the chbind command to 'hide' IP addresses from the daemon before starting.)
Bind9 does not like to start in my guest.
My mysqld running in a guest behaves strangely and is awfully slow/locks up
Pure-FTP does not run inside a VServer?
Why do neither sshd nor crond (vixie-cron) work correctly in my CentOS / Fedora guest? I get 'pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid' and similar lines in my logs.
pam authentication (also used with openssh) enables "pam_loginuid.so" in the /etc/pam.d/* files. Comment those out as they are not necessary and will not load within a guest anyway. This probably is also necessary on updates later on, if the configs get changed. You therefore may add the following command line to a cronjob file or your software update script:
/bin/sed --in-place -e "s/^session.*required.*pam_loginuid.so/# session\trequired\tpam_loginuid.so/g" /etc/pam.d/*
How do i install nagios-plugins on a Gentoo guest?
The easiest way to do this from the host (assuming the guest is running) is:
vnamespace -e <xid> -- chroot /vservers/<name> emerge nagios-plugins -va
Somebody runs ntpd in guest and you can't use ntpdate in host?
ntpdate -u ntp.domain.xy
or you can use command:
chbind --nid 42 --ip 220.127.116.11 -- ntpdate ntp.domain.xywhere IP will be the IP of host.
Start / Stop a VServer
How do I make a vserver guest start by default?
echo "default" > /etc/vservers/derjohn/apps/init/mark
If you want to start it earlier, please read the init script "/etc/init.d/util-vserver" to find out how to do it. In most cases you don't need to change this. On Debian the vservers are started at "20", so after most other stuff is up (networking etc.).Besides that I created a small helper script for managing the autostart foo: ((vserver-autostart))
My host works, but when I start a guest it says that it has a problem with chbind.
What is old-style and new-style config?
How can I reboot/halt guests?
For legacy Linux-VServer (i.e. 1.2.x), you have to replace /sbin/halt in the guests with vreboot and start rebootmgr in the host. You also need to have a <guest>.conf file in /etc/vservers for each guest. Please have a look at /etc/init.d/rebootmgr.For Linux-VServer 2.0+, sys_reboot has been virtualized to do the right thing. No changes are needed in guests. Please note that some things depend on the init style used by the guest : read util-vserver:InitStyles
What is the initial PATH?
When I try to start a guest i get this message "/proc/uptime can not be accessed. Usually, this is caused by procfs-security. Please read the FAQ for more details"?
Is SMP Supported?
Do I really need the legacy-interfaces? What are these legacy-interfaces?
I have a vserver running on a Linux kernel with preemption. Is VServer "preempt" safe?
32 vs 64 Bit? What should I take?
[*] Kernel support for ELF binaries <M> Kernel support for MISC binaries [*] IA32 Emulation <---- without that, the entire 32bit API is not present <M> IA32 a.out support
You can force the guest to behave like a 32 environment like this:
echo linux_32bit > /etc/vservers/$NAME/personality echo i686 > /etc/vservers/$NAME/uts/machine
(thanks cehteh for the hint!)
But you can force debootstrap to put 32 bit binaries into the guest by 'export ARCH=i386';
export ARCH=i386 ; vserver build ....
On debian when using the newvserver script "export ARCH=i386" has no effect, just use:
newvserver --arch i386 ...
Distribution specific questions
VServer is included in the stable Debian GNU/Linux for years now. What VS version did they include?
Were can I get newer versions of VServer as ready made packages for Debian?
Why isn't there a device /dev/xyz within a guest?
I want to (re)mount a partition in a running guest ... but the guest has no rights (capability) to (re)mount?
# vnamespace -e XID mount -t tmpfs -o remount,size=256m,mode=1777 none /var/lib/vservers/<guest>/tmp/
(if there's a problem, try expanding the symlinks in the mount path) Be warned that the guest will not recognize the change, as the /etc/mtab file is not updated when you mount like this. To permanently change the mount, edit /etc/vserver/<guest>/fstab on the host.
If you get:
mount: can't find /var/lib/vservers/<guest>/tmp in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
then try instead:
vnamespace -e builder chroot /var/lib/vservers/<guest>/ mount -o remount,size=64m,mode=1777 /tmpNote that this not work for adding a bindmount (-o bind) of a directory outside of a vserver into the vserver. For this, there is no alternative but restarting the vserver.
Does anyone know how to increase the size of /tmp within a vserver w/o restarting?
# vnamespace -e XID mount -n -t tmpfs -o remount,size=32m tmpfs /<vdir>/<guest>/tmp
or something like that. The arguments are needed since mount is not going to be using /etc/fstab for the information and the version of /proc/mounts is best understood by
# vnamespace -e XID cat /proc/mounts.See Frequently_Asked_Questions#I want to (re)mount a partition in a running guest ... but the guest has no rights (capability) to (re)mount?
#1 ERROR: capset(): Operation not permitted
How can I make 'vserver start' mount the root filesystem?
/dev/drbd0 / xfs rw,dev 0 0
I deleted a guest's directory without shutting it down. Now I have a "ghost" running. Is there any possibility to get it out of proc without rebooting?
When using nice and su (for example, in the updatedb cron job), I get: su: Permission denied. What does it mean?
$ strace nice su nobody [...] setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0, 0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
You can use 'su nobody -c nice some_cmd' instead.(Now there's the question of why a guest process cannot lower its nice value.)
How do I handle NFS mounts within in a guest?
1) Mount the NFS share from the host OS and let vserver guest access it as part of it's file system.
mount --bind may also be beneficial in this scenario.
2) Use util-vserver and create a fstab.remote file in the /etc/vserver/<vserver_name> directory. Populate this with the NFS shares and they will be mounted in the context of the vserver guest.
See http://www.nongnu.org/util-vserver/doc/conf/configuration.html
3) Add capabilities to the vserver guest instance to grant sufficient rights to allow NFS mounts.
Add the following to /etc/vserver/<vserver_name>/bcapabilities
Add the following to /etc/vserver/<vserver_name>/ccapabilities
See Capabilities_and_Flags for more information about vserver capabilities.If you want the NFS shares to be mounted when the guest starts, add them to /etc/vserver/<vserver_name>/fstab
vserver start/stop/enter fails with something like "vnamespace: execvp("/usr/sbin/vserver"): No such file or directory" ?
vnamespace -e <guest> cat /proc/mounts
If there is no /usr, you can fix your problem with simply mounting it using the following command:
vnamespace -e <guest> mount /dev/<device> /usr
How could I rename a vserver directory?
- Stop the vserver in question
- rename the /vservers/<server name> directory
- rename the /etc/vservers/<server name> directory
- update link: /etc/vservers/<server name>/run → /var/run/vservers/<server name>
- update link: /etc/vservers/<server name>/vdir → /etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase/<server name>
- update link: /etc/vservers/<server name>/cache → /etc/vservers/.defaults/cachebase/<server name>
- update link: /var/run/vservers.rev/<server XID> → /etc/vservers/<server name>
- Start the vserver in question. It should start properly.
Upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2
I now get errors like "ncontext: vc_net_create(): Invalid argument; dynamic contexts disabled." on startup. Vservers are not started
echo 101 > /etc/vservers/myvserv/contextADDENDUM: please consider that valid static contexts are between 2 and 49151 ( daniel_hozac on IRC ) otherwise you will end up with unexplainable error "ncontext: vc_net_migrate(): No such process" when trying to start the vserver.
How do I assign a static context to an existing vserver?
Since upgrading to a newer VS version my guest complains about "vsched: non-numeric value specified for '--priority_bias" at start time. What's wrong?
# cat /usr/local/sbin/vserver-convert-schedule-to-scheddir #/bin/sh mkdir /etc/vservers/$1/sched sed -e 1p -n /etc/vservers/$1/schedule > /etc/vservers/$1/sched/fill-rate sed -e 2p -n /etc/vservers/$1/schedule > /etc/vservers/$1/sched/interval sed -e 3p -n /etc/vservers/$1/schedule > /etc/vservers/$1/sched/tokens sed -e 4p -n /etc/vservers/$1/schedule > /etc/vservers/$1/sched/tokens-min sed -e 5p -n /etc/vservers/$1/schedule > /etc/vservers/$1/sched/tokens-max mv /etc/vservers/$1/schedule /etc/vservers/$1/schedule.converted.see.scheddir # see: http://oldwiki.linux-vserver.org/Scheduler+Parameters # see: http://www.nongnu.org/util-vserver/doc/conf/configuration.html#sched
Here is an example how to do so:
# mkdir /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/0 -p # echo kernel.shmall > /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/0/setting # echo 134217728 > /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/0/value # mkdir /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/1 -p # echo kernel.shmmax > /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/1/setting # echo 134217728 > /etc/vservers/<vserver>/sysctl/1/value
It's also explained on the geat flower page:
- see: http://www.nongnu.org/util-vserver/doc/conf/configuration.html -> Look for "sysctl".
After changing those values, restart your guest, enter it and check if the values are set:
# sysctl -a | grep shm ... kernel.shmall = 134217728 kernel.shmmax = 134217728

America Held Hostage
Welcome to America Held Hostage.
The reference is not just to the ongoing government shutdown that theoretically could be — but in all likelihood won't be — over by the time you read this. Rather, it is also to the intransigence and extremism of the Republican Party, a brand of government-by-crisis political thuggery that made this confrontation inevitable.
And not just the Republican Party but more specifically, that collection of cranks and outliers within the party so addled by hatred of the president, so crippled by the mental disorder known as Obama Dementia, that they are incapable of rationality and reason. They are the right wing of the right wing, a walking id so fully divorced from reality that even many of their fellow conservatives are wary — and weary — of them. And these are the people who are running the show.
God bless us, every one.
This latest in a series of manufactured crises centers on the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's landmark health care reform. It may be a good law, may be a bad law, may be (and probably is) a good law with some flaws, but one thing is certain: it is a law. Duly passed by Congress, duly signed by a duly elected president, it has survived no less than 41 votes by congressional Republicans to weaken or repeal it — not to mention a showdown in the Supreme Court. No law in modern memory has been more thoroughly or energetically challenged.
Having failed epically and repeatedly to kill it, these right-wing Ahabs now embark upon an extortionate new tack that, even for them, is astonishing in its disingenuous gall. They have blocked passage of a routine resolution to fund the government unless the health care act is defunded. Then they condemn the president because he won't "negotiate" with them.
It's as if a Little League team lost a big game on a critical call. They complain to the umps, they look at the instant replay, they file an appeal with the league, but the call still stands. So they take the ball and go home and say they will not play again until the other team agrees to "negotiate."
What a crock. In that scenario as in this one, there is nothing to talk about. The problem isn't the fairness of the process, but the inability of losers to accept the loss.
Once upon a time, a parent might have addressed the problem of children behaving like brats through the vigorous application of leather to the region of the gluteus maximus. Once upon a time, a voter might have addressed the problem of politicians behaving like brats in much the same way.
But the ability to spank legislators is largely lost. The reason in a word: gerrymandering — voting district lines drawn to insulate legislators from voters with contrary viewpoints. Lawmakers choose their own voters, are answerable only to those true believers who already agree with them. It is a system guaranteed to reward extremism and make punishing it nearly impossible.
When you cannot "throw the bums out" (congressional incumbents are re-elected at a dictatorship rate: 90 percent), the bums are free to be as splenetic as they want to be. There is no pressure to be a statesman. Indeed, statesmanship becomes a liability.
The system must be fixed. Districts should be drawn by judges or other nonpartisan entities along sensible geographic and demographic lines. No more of these crazy-shaped districts that look like Plastic Man eating spaghetti on a rollercoaster.
The stakes could hardly be higher. The full faith and credit of the United States is at risk. Yet the right wing of the right wing engages in petulance, pettiness and pique that would embarrass a 4-year-old. They will have things their way — or they will shoot the hostage.
These people seem not to understand that elections have consequences. Unfortunately for this country, obstructionism does, too.

How long does it take to clip my bombay hair extensions in?
You will be able to to put in your extensions in less than 5 minutes, and remove them even quickly. With practice comes experience, so in no time at all you will be a pro!
How long will my bombay hair extensions last?
It is very simple, the better you take care of your extensions the longer they will last. Bombay Hair can last anywhere from 3 months to well over a year. On average, with daily use, they last from 3 to 6 months; with good care, and less frequent use they can last well over a year. An important factor in expanding the lifespan of your extensions is by deep conditioning! It is great to deep condition them once a week (if you wear them often). Also, overnight deep conditioning with a small about of Argan or Almond Oil is just lovely for your extensions! We recommend laying your extensions flat to dry on satin or silk.
What hair is used for your extensions?
100% Indian hair is used, as the hair cuticle of Indian hair is thin and therefore Indian hair has the ability to blend in with most, if not all, hair types. Not only that, Indian hair also keeps its natural elasticity allowing curls to last longer and bounce unbelievably beautifully! Even more so, Indian hair easily holds hair products, as well preserves moisture, for an extended period of time - meaning, your hair style will look luscious and last longer with100% Indian hair.
What is Remy hair?
Remy is considered the highest grade quality of human hair because the steps required to collect and process the hair is done with such care. Specifically, the hair is hand picked and individually arranged in the same direction of growing hair - meaning, the cuticles run downwards in order to prevent tangling. The tedious and gentle process used by Remy standards to collect and arrange hair ensures that hair remains soft, silky, shiny and completely tangle free.
What is the difference between the 160 grams and 220 grams of hair?
Bombay Hair sets are spread amongst 10 wefts (pieces) so you can place all 10 wefts, of various sizes, around your head to achieve an extremely thick and voluminous look or use less wefts - the choice is yours! The difference between the 160 gram and 220 gram set is that the 220 gram set wefts are thicker and 2 inches longer. So if you want a serious set of extensions - the 220gram is your best bet!
What kind of clips are used for extensions?
Our clips have secure rubber grip. They are light and small, so they will remain virtually undetected under all that gorgeous new hair.
Can bombay hair extensions be curled and flat ironed?
YES, just like your own hair! Go straight, go curly or even both in one day! Just always remember to use a heat protecting spray before working with hot tools.
Can I color/dye bombay hair extensions?
The extensions can be colored but at your own risk as the hair has already been processed and coloring it may or may not damage the hair - if you are wanting to color your extensions always test hair dye on a smaller weft (a 1.5" piece) before coloring the whole set - since, different types of hair dyes contain different chemicals and we cannot be sure how the chemicals/heat from the dye may react with the hair.
Bleaching the hair extensions that have already been processed is extremely harmful for the hair. Therefore, we never recommend bleaching the hair.
Can I wash my extensions?
Yes, you should wash the hair extensions as if they were your own, using a gentle color safe shampoo (to help prevent color from bleeding) and conditioner (or just use a conditioner to clean the hair). Treat them with plenty of conditioner to keep them moist and healthy. Lay flat to dry.
Also, when you receive your new set of extensions you can always wash them with a conditioner, before use, to bring out all the thickness!
How often should I wash my extensions?
You do NOT need to wash your extensions often, as over washing can easily dry out your extensions. It is important to keep in mind that extensions are not attached to your scalp (as they are on a weft), so it does not receive any natural oils from your scalp. Therefore, your extensions will dry out faster than your own hair. To help prevent your extensions from drying out, deep conditioning is important - always remember Bombay Hair will only receive the moisture you give it (i.e. conditioning, deep conditioning etc.).
Can I blow dry my extensions?
We advise against using a blow dryer on your extensions as this can decrease your extensions lifespan, but you are more than welcome to blow dry your extensions since out hair is 100% human! We know that blow drying them gives that extra volume...!
We recommend, that you lay your extensions flat to dry naturally as this will give them a longer life span.
How do I store my extensions?
In a flat dry area. We suggest your buy a small plastic container (i.e from a dollar store) and store them in there so you know they are safe and dry.
Do bombay hair extensions hold curls well?
Yes, extremely well! We proud our selves on carrying real 100% Indian hair as this hair type is super easy to style and holds curls over an extended period of time, since the natural elasticity in Indian hair is maintained in clip-in extensions. Get bouncy beautiful hair today!
Does BOMBAY HAIR contain silicone?
We use little to NO silicone on your hair extensions. Therefore, our extensions, unlike most companies, are not overly shinny. As we know we sell high quality hair and therefore we do NOT need to coat our hair heavily with unnecessary chemicals! Our hair looks, feels and acts like real hair.
Is shedding normal?
Yes - like all extensions and our own hair, shedding is normal - especially when you first receive your extensions. This is called, 'initial shedding.' We recommend brushing out your extensions nicely before first use. Overall, shedding should be minimal after the first couple of uses, but if you find that it is excessive please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Does bombay hair offer a return and/or exchange policy?
Yes, please read our exchange and refund policy before ordering. You do have 7 days to get a return or exchange. When you receive your shipment it is very important that you test your shade color FIRST. A test strip, that is also apart of your 10 piece set, will be attached at the bottom of the main package. You simply open that part first and, without removing it from the cardboard backing, check to see if the color matches your own shade.
If it matches and you are satisfied then go ahead and open the main package. If it does NOT match DO NOT open or tamper the main package and please inform us via email at email@example.com that you would like a return or exchange. It is the senders responsibility to pay for the shipping charges, and to ensure that the package arrives safely to us. Therefore, we advise sending the package with a tracking number.
Why are bombay hair extensions non-refundable if I open the package?
Human hair extensions are considered a hygienic product. We take matters of hygiene and public safety seriously and DO NOT ALLOW opened items to be returned for the safety of all of our clients.

Oklahoma City, OK – Rudy Gay poured in 28 points and Zach Randolph continued his string of double-double performances as the Memphis Grizzlies came through with an impressive 107-97 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Randolph racked up 20 and 11 rebounds before being ejected with 2:05 left to record his seventh consecutive double-double to begin the season. More importantly, the Grizzlies registered their sixth straight win since opening the 2012-13 campaign with a road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
"We all had a high level tonight and it showed on the court," said Randolph. "We shot the ball well and kept them from getting too much on the transition."
Memphis overcame a 10-point deficit after one quarter and a 34-point outburst by reigning NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant to halt a five-game win streak by the defending Western Conference title-holders.
Durant knocked down 12-of-21 shots and added 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City, with Russell Westbrook amassing 17 points and 13 assists in defeat and Serge Ibaka posting 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting on the night.
The Grizzlies trailed 30-20 after one period before beginning the second with an 11-2 run sparked by five points from reserve Quincy Pondexter, then later outscored the Thunder by a 15-4 count over the final four minutes of the opening half to open up an 11-point lead at halftime.
Pondexter ignited that surge as well by burying a 3-pointer that snapped a 41-41 tie with 3:45 remaining in the second quarter, and Memphis closed out the quarter on a 10-0 run to account for the 56-45 advantage.
Mike Conley's layup off a Thunder turnover with 32 seconds left in the half pushed the margin to nine points, and the point guard fed Marc Gasol for a short jumper at the buzzer later on to give Memphis a double-digit cushion at intermission.
"The second quarter when we were outscored by 21 points was tough to overcome," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. "We have to come back and figure out ways to improve."
The Grizzlies extended the lead to 65-49 less than three minutes into the third quarter. However, Oklahoma City would climb back into it before the session would end.
Down 73-59 with five minutes left in the third, the Thunder embarked on a 10-2 flurry capped by a Westbrook trey to pull to within six points, though that would turn out to be as close as Oklahoma City would get.
Gay netted the game's next six points, including a nifty pull-up jumper that put the Grizzlies up 83-71 in the beginning stages of the fourth quarter. Memphis maintained a double-digit advantage for much of the contest's final stanza, countering a 5-0 Thunder run that closed the home team within 97-89 with 4:18 to go by holding Oklahoma City scoreless over the next two-plus minutes.
The Thunder broke the scoreless drought when Westbrook sank two free throws, with Randolph and Oklahoma City Kendrick Perkins both tossed in between the attempts following a heated exchange between the two.
Game Notes
Memphis improved to 5-0 this season and 22-3 since the start of the 2011-12 campaign when scoring 100 or more points ... Gasol, who finished with 14 points, and Ibaka were both teammates on the Spanish national team that captured a silver medal at the London Olympics after falling to a United States squad led by Durant and Westbrook in the championship game ... Randolph entered the night atop the NBA with an average of 14.5 rebounds per game.

Stocks edge lower after weak manufacturing report
A surprisingly weak manufacturing report sent stocks lower Monday. December is historically the best month for stocks.
| New York
Stocks edged lower on Wall Street Monday after a surprisingly weak manufacturing report heightened concern that fiscal deadlock in Washington is already hurting the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 59.98 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 12,965.60. The Standard and Poor's 500 dropped 6.72 points to 1,409.46. The Nasdaq composite was down 8.04 points to 3,002.20
U.S. manufacturing declined in November to its weakest level since July 2009, the Institute for Supply Management reported. The ISM's index fell to 49.5 from 51.7 a month earlier, below the 51.2 reading forecast by analysts. Any number below 50 on the scale means that manufacturing is contracting. Businesses expressed concerns about the "fiscal cliff," a series of sharp government spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless an agreement is reached to cut the budget deficit.
"The ISM numbers probably took a little air out of what was some hope for better news on where the economy is going," said Jim Dunigan, executive vice president at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia. "We're still in the camp that this gets resolved and we don't go over the cliff, but there's a lot of angst between now and then."
The White House and Congress are still seeking to hammer out a budget deal that will avoid the "cliff." Republicans, led by House Speaker John Boehner, have balked at President Barack Obama's opening proposal of $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, a possible extension of the temporary Social Security payroll tax cut and heightened presidential power to raise the national debt limit.
House Republicans on Monday proposed their own 10-year blueprint to President Barack Obama that calls for increasing the eligibility age for Medicare and lowering cost-of-living hikes for Social Security benefits.
"There's a sense of insecurity until the President and Boehner get their act together," said Ben Schwarz, chief market strategist at New York-based brokerage Lightspeed Financial. "If they put together a package in short order, if they do it in the next couple of weeks, you'll see a strong rally."
Stocks have fluctuated since the Nov. 6 election as investors worried that a deal may not be reached in time to avoid the tax hikes and spending cuts, which economists say could push the U.S. back into recession. The S&P 500 is still 1.3 percent below its closing level on the day that Americans went to the polls, having fallen as much as 5 percent in the weeks following the election.
Wall Street opened higher Monday following news that manufacturing in China, the world's second-largest economy, grew for the first time in 13 months and after Greece announced details of a bond buyback program. The Dow had been up as much as 62 points shortly after the opening bell.
December is historically the best month for stocks. The S&P 500 has advanced an average of 2 percent over the past 30 years during the month of December, according to research from Schaeffer's Investment Research. The next best month is April, with an average return of 1.7 percent. The worst month is September, where investors lose an average of 0.7 percent.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose 1 basis point to 1.62 percent.
Other stocks making big moves:
—Dell rose 42 cents, or 4.4 percent, to $10.06 after Goldman Sachs raised its rating to "Buy" from "Sell." Goldman cited Dell's healthy cash balance and said a recent decline in the stock may have been overdone. Dell has slumped this year as consumers migrated away from desktop PCs and laptops to portable devices such as tablets and phones.
— Health Management Associates fell 45 cents, or 5.7 percent, to $7.50 after the CBS news program "60 Minutes" broadcast a segment critical of the company's patient admission policies. The program included interviews with former employees who said HMA pressured its emergency room doctors to admit patients.
—Supervalu jumped 30 cents, or 12.6 percent, to $2.68 following a report that private equity firm Cerberus is considering multiple options for buying parts of the struggling grocery store chain.
