For three years, Pennsylvania artist Patrick Connors taught a workshop and painted in Rome each June. He forsook his usual medium — oil — and concentrated on pen-and-ink, gouache, and watercolor while working in Italy. Back in the United States, he would make studio paintings from his references. An exhibition currently on view at the Clark Gallery, in Banner Elk, North Carolina, presents some of those pieces.
One of the landscape paintings that stands out among the semi-finalists selected by Michael Zakian in the September/October PleinAir Salon competition (www.pleinairsalon.com) is "After a Storm," by Philadelphia artist Patrick Connors. We wanted to find out more about how Connors created the piece he calls a "breakthrough painting."
There are a few coincidences among the bimonthly PleinAir Magazine Salon competition winners, including the fact that one husband-and-wife team worked on the plein air painting that won second place, and two artists who are married to one another won separate awards.

I have recently decided that wander-lusters come in many varieties- many more than I had thought. You know, we like to find our commonalities so it is comfortable to believe that a traveler is a traveler is a traveler is a traveler. But one man's treasure is another one's trash. That is true for the non-material treasures we find out on the road just as it is in "real life" back home with material things.
For instance when my husband and I were conversing about the reasons why we travel, one man said that our travel style would not be his idea of a good time at all, even though he considers himself a traveler too. For him, travel is about photography and natural beauty. And if he can't take his camera lenses somewhere, then it won't be as joyful to be there.
The fact is, there are as many types of travelers as there are types of people. There are people who love history and that's why they travel. And people who love people and that's why they travel. Or people who love animals and that's why they travel. It goes on and on.
Of course, most of us who love travel probably have many passions sourcing that love. We love people and adventure and culture and artwork and nature…and that is why we travel.
For that reason, it can be hard to answer that question…"Where was your favorite place to travel to?" One place fuels one passion while another place fuels another.
Thus, I give you my 15 paradises for my 15 different passions.
Zakynthos is just the place to go to feel like the rest of the world's hustle is out of reach. The towns are small and everything is on "island time." The day's itinerary often included "jumping into blue water" and "riding a scooter along the cliffs."
Amritsar is essentially the birthplace of the Sikhs and is home of their most important temple, the Golden Temple. Unlike some religious sights, the Golden Temple is both accommodating to tourists and apathetic of them. I love that. They are purely going about their own religious duties here and while tourists are welcome (as long as they cover their heads and remove their shoes,) there are no disgenuine displays for them.
It's a place to soak up a genuinely fascinating series of religious practices. Men and women bathe in the waters, there is a kitchen dedicated to serving literally thousands of poor people and visitors, and many of the men have enormous turbans and long swords at their sides, important pieces of the Sikh disciplines.
Anyone who's been to Prague disagrees with me on this but I have yet to see Prague (hopefully this fall). So until I see Prague, Vienna wins out as my favorite city for architectural beauty. Every building has that gorgeous stature of something built in a time when things were beautiful instead of efficient. The effect is quite romantic. Unfortunately the Rathaus, one of the most impressive buildings in Vienna, is frequently hosting private festivals, parties, events, etc. So you cannot always get very close to it if a special event is going on.
Not to worry though. Every other building is beautiful too.
Queenstown is not only gorgeous but also has at least three different area mountains for skiing, snowboarding, etc. etc, including The Remarkables which are…remarkable! But you aren't out of luck if you dislike skiing or snowboarding. You can go sky-diving or hang-gliding or hiking. There's something for everyone.
Switzerland is full of incredible views at every turn. Just driving to your destination is an activity in and of itself simply for the scenery throughout the Swiss Alps. Unfortunately, it's heinously expensive.
I love Thai food. Everything from the fried noodle dishes of Pad Thai and Pad See Ew to the soups like Tom Ka Gai and Tom Yum. Thai food is full of the delicious flavors of kefir lime, lemongrass, ginger, coconut milk and other novel things. If you like spicy food go for the Pad Kra Pow (minced chicken in peppers and basil) or if you like the sweeter dishes, go for the Tom Ka Gai, (a coconut based soup with straw mushrooms, pea eggplants and other quintessentially Thai ingredients.)
Bangkok in particular is a good spot for Thai food because you will be able to find Northern Thai dishes as well as Southern Thai dishes. Also Bangkok has lots of street vendors with quality dishes for sometimes even less than a dollar.
Fiji is not only home to some pretty amazing tropical fish, but to some impressive soft corals as well, which contributes greatly to its popularity as a spot for diving and snorkeling. Snorkeling is a beautiful adventure in the Yesawas where there's no telling what you'll see in the clear waters. (…anyone know what that thing in the picture is? We could never figure it out!)
Next time someone asks you where your "favorite place to travel" is, what will you say? Do you have a favorite place for each of your interests?
It's an increasingly accepted as fact that, as a nation, we have allowed a work culture to develop where taking time off is seen a sign of disloyalty or lack of care, and where extended time off is more of a concept than a reality. It's also a given that more and more data suggest that the costs of this approach in stress and lack of free time for rest, recreation and family is having a profoundly detrimental effect on our society.
Traveling in Europe always brings the difference between the US and European cultures with regard to work/life balance was illustrated in sharp relief for me. It's one thing to hear how the Europeans put priority on the "life" side of the balance, and it is another to see it in action. As many know, the Europeans enjoy social benefits such as maternity as well as paternity leave, and up to six weeks of vacation time per year.
To see the very obvious benefits of that strategic choice for a shorter work year play out in the lives of everyday Europeans illustrates the point. Watching families strolling in the parks, laughing and chatting happily, on a weekday afternoon or visiting with friends over a drink in a café—enjoying the free time their generous benefits affords them—is to reinforce any stressed-out American's suspicion that we are on the wrong side of the equation.
Of course, there are economic trade-offs along with such benefits. With less time focused on work and more time focused on free time, GDP is affected and taxes are high to support these benefits. Countries with a historically take-it-easy approach to life such as Italy and Spain had no trouble swapping time at work for time with friends, but how do these policies fare in the more traditionally industrious nations of the north? Does this bother many of them?
Not very much, it seems. "Everyone hates taxes of course," a German told me, "but we willingly make the trade-off because it's a good bargain. The time is more valuable." Another said, "We made the conscious choice to arrange the society this way, with the emphasis on maternal and paternal leave and more vacation time. It has many positive benefits. We just do with a little less material things."
In a surprising finding that bolsters the arguments of proponents for more European-syle work arrangements, a recent analysis from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (link to the study is here) found that workplace productivity doesn't necessarily increase with hours worked. Workers in Greece clock 2,034 hours a year versus 1,397 in Germany, for example, but the latter's productivity is 70 percent higher. In other words, there's not necessarily the direct correlation that our system is predicated on.
"You Americans kill yourselves with antiquated work policies," says a French acquaintance. "You have two weeks of vacation, if you are very lucky. We are a very prosperous, industrialized economy with a national healthcare service too. We make it all work."
I knew it begged an inevitable question, and my friend asked it. "So why can't you?"
That statement and its inevitable question was put to me many times, in many places. It is a question I brought back to the US with me. It stayed in my mind as my flight arced across the Atlantic and over the North American continent, remaining as an important souvenir. The issue was never about lingering in cafés or visiting the Alps, but rather the stuff of a good life: choices, time and freedom to make of it what we will. Would you be happier and more productive if you had more of these? What will it take for us as a society to finally demand it?
Since it's summer and the beach is on my mind, I thought I would do a recap of my favorite beaches I've visited over the years. I'm not really one for the crowded party beaches, or cold weather beaches, both of those seem to have made my list because of how beautiful they are. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that there's nothing much better than walking a quite beach at sunset, reading a good book in the shade, or enjoying a tropical drink with the ocean in view. Most of these beaches took a bit of traveling to get to but they were worth it.
We'll start with Italy, specifically the Amalfi Coast.
A friend and I made the trip here a few years ago and I was amazed at how picturesque it was. We rented a car and had to drive up along the coastal cliffs, which for me was a bit nerve-wrecking. The roads were narrow and windy and people drive insanely fast. In September we were able to find a last minute hotel for around $40 a night, with a beautiful ocean view. To get to the beach you had to follow steep switchback stairs for about half an hour through charming coastal neighborhoods. Some parts of the beach are crowded, others very secluded.
Beach number two, Gili Meno, a small island in Indonesia.
Getting here required a flight to Bali, then a flight to the island of Lombok, then a taxi to the harbor, and then a long boat to the second island in the Gili chain. My friend and I were dropped off on the beach after sunset with no hotel reservations and no plan, but as we walked the coast we easily found a hotel with friend staff right on the beach (as are all of the hotels there). You can walk the perimeter of the entire island in one hour, and the sunsets are supposedly world famous.
Starting from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I spent 30 days exploring the United States (traveling to 37 states) and documenting the faces and places I saw on the Greyhound Bus system with photographs and short stories. I showered rarely, slept infrequently, ate poorly, and I loved every uncomfortable minute of it.
My fascination with the culture of the Greyhound started in college when I would take the bus to Montana to visit a dear friend. As I discerned my creative inspiration to street photography, I felt a pull to quit my awful job, forget about my recent heartbreak and get on the road. Why wait?!
While exploring in the few moments I had off of the bus, I wanted to learn about each city's preferred method of travel. Was it bus? Subway? Bicycle? On foot? Why were people commuting the way they were? As you can imagine, the answers varied based on financial and geographical limitations.
I took over 4000 digital and film photographs using four different cameras: Canon DSLR, Holga, Fish Eye and iPhone. My trip was funded solely by the Minneapolis community with individual donations. The gallery exhibit profiling my journey was funded by a FEAST MPLS grant I won in November 2010. My self published book, Falling Asleep Behind the Lens, documenting my journey is available on my website: KPCreates.com

Finding yourself tired and achy after a long day's sightseeing in Budapest? That can be easily fixed by indulging in one of the city's great experiences—a long soak in the healing waters that residents and visitors have been availing themselves of since Ottoman times. Blessed by its location—it sits above numerous natural springs spouting warm water fortified with minerals—the Hungarian capital offers visitors some of the world's great public bath experiences.
With over fifty baths, spas and public pools, Budapest wisely takes full advantage of the waters burbling up from its sediment. The experience of the spa/bath has become a way of life in this city, and integral part of its social fabric. Some baths date to the sixteenth century when the Ottomans first indulged in the bath craze, and others date from the early twentieth century. It is not unusual for a Hungarian physician to prescribe a visit to the baths, such is the strength of Hungarians' belief in the restorative powers of the experience.
There are dozens of great thermal baths to choose from, but for the first-time visitor the popular Széchenyi offers a fine look into a top-notch Budapest bath experience. Housed in a grand old yellow building situated in the City Park, the enormous complex with the Baroque copper dome looks like every bit the grand nineteenth-century retreat it is; a recent renovation has given the historic building a fresh coat of gleam.
The brainchild of a Budapest mining engineer, Széchenyi was the first thermal bath on the Pest side of the city, with records showing that an artisanal bath existed on the spot by 1881. By 2014 a full panoply of options existed, including an outpatient physiotherapy department.
Upon entering, you'll choose the options you want (children under 2 are free and there is a special student discount), rent your towel, and hit the locker room to change. If you get lost in the complex or just plain overwhelmed by the choices, attendants in white will try their best to assist, though many do not speak English. This being Europe, there are some swimsuit-optional areas, but the American visitor will be happy to know that most patrons are covered—minimally, by severely strained Speedos—but still covered.
Settling into the hundred-degree water, stress tends to melt away like an ice cube under a blazing summer sun. There is nothing to do but watch the other visitors, a great European pastime. An observant guest will find a feast of people-watching opportunities such as blissed-out regulars playing chess in their Speedos and local big shots discussing weighty political matters while struggling to stay awake in the relaxing water, their eyelids heavy as steam swirls around them. Don't worry; you almost certainly be the only tourist there.
There are older, more historic spas and thermal baths in town (some of the Ottoman-era spas) and swankier spas (the Gellert Baths are justifiably popular) but for a locally-loved and affordable introduction to Budapest's water wonders, spending a lazy afternoon relaxing under Széchenyi's glimmering domes is a great way to start.

Last weekend, on a sunny Saturday morning at a local Seattle-area library, I kicked off the first of several ninety-minute "Travel talks" I plan to give this year. The seminar-style presentations, which I call "Traveling The Best of Europe Independently & On A Budget" will be free, presented at assorted libraries in the Seattle metro area.
I began doing these talks several years ago after answering the umpteenth question about how to travel independently in Europe (since that's my specialty), how to plan it, and where to go. I realized there was a hunger for this type of straight-up advice from a trusted source. Since then I've done several, and I'm always stuck by audiences' desire for useful tips and, more importantly, a much-needed infusion of "Hey, I can do this!" confidence.
Some have asked why I bother doing these talks when it's basically free work and free advice. My answer: Sharing my hard-won tips on budgeting, itinerary-crafting, and other how-to essentials is a joy. Moreover, it's a public service. More than just the mere nuts-and-bolts information, I've found that it's the message of "you can do it too!" that is truly valuable, no matter what destination you're discussing. Any guidebook will have a chapter on the basics needed to plan a trip and where to go, but it's a presenter's confidence and palpable love for the subject that can inspire someone to finally book that plane ticket.
So, if you're inclined to spread your knowledge and love of whatever destination you choose, please consider offering a ninety-minute "how to travel independently & on a budget to…" presentation at a local library. Impart your wisdom and fill the room with your enthusiasm for the places you're talking about. You might just motivate a reluctant adventurer to take the trip of a lifetime, and that is time well spent indeed.
One of the many great things about Europe is the magnificent way it celebrates the Christmas season. Throughout the continent, a spirit of festivity can be felt in the wintertime air. The traditions of the season are still strong in this thoroughly modern part of the world, where bustling Christmas markets fill the main square of big cities and bucolic, half-timbered villages alike. In the cathedrals, choirs singing the great medieval Christmas hymns fill the cavernous spaces with angelic harmonies.
With that said, this is the first in a series of posts on the various ways Christmas is celebrated in Europe. While each country has its own festive quirks, many of them share the greatest of the ancient traditions and it's a joy to be enveloped by it.
Germany, for example, is one of the most magical places to experience the season. This seems ironic, as it's arguably Europe's most progressive, twenty-first century nation. But old traditions die hard and Germany reaches far into its medieval past to embrace and celebrate the season. From the Austrian border to the Baltic Sea, from the Black Forrest to Berlin, Germany comes alive at the holidays. Its people break out the gingerbread recipes, the carols, and the colors of the season.
The sprawling Christkindle Markets fill the squares of communities across the country, bursting with music and food and seasonal décor. Traditional favorites such as gingerbread and sweet prune-and-fig candies are served at stalls under a kaleidoscope of Christmas colors. It's not unusual for a small chorus to be serenading the bundled-up shoppers and sightseers with classic old Germanic carols, their puffs of visible breath ascending into the sky on the frosty air.
Performances of the Nutcracker are to be found in theatres across the country, while well-built manger scenes adorn the cobbled public spaces of both the predominantly Catholic South and Protestant North (this, after all the birthplace of Luther and Protestantism). Jolly St. Nicholas looms in the dreams of children eager for the big day to arrive.
It's a good reminder that there is more to Germany that Oktoberfest and the Autobahn. They keep the best of their ancient traditions very much alive as they indulge in the classic sights, sounds and tastes of Christmas festivity.

What's the strangest thing you've seen lately?
Ancient Mayan religious rites being performed in a Catholic cathedral… a unique blend of religions that tells stories about a part of the world with a conflicting history.
Having just come back from another great trip, I'm reminded again of the richness of Europe and the gifts it keeps on giving to any traveler willing to seek them out. I went to France on assignment for three mid-size, nationally-distributed magazines, and set to work almost immediately. It's amazing how profoundly engrossing traveling and learning can be, especially when you have the added incentive of a contract for a story that must be delivered. Poking around the countryside and investigating ancient abbeys, ruined castles, and little medieval towns gives me a charge like nothing else. It satisfies my twin desires of adventure and knowledge.
As usual, the interactions with locals carbonated the experience. Sharing a bench—and soon after, a lively conversation—with a local man in half-timbered Rouen or chatting with the lady at the café table next to mine in the pretty little Burgundian city of Beaune added texture to the photos I'd taken. The clusters of pixels in my camera contained beautiful images of churches and historic buildings, but the connections forged with the everyday residents of these places gave depth and perspective to the memories in my own mind—a depth and perspective I hope will be felt by my readers.
It's the local people—like the kindly town archivist in the German city who helped me make sense of his community's tragic WWII history—that are the real repositories of history and tradition. Without him, I'd never had known about the moving memorial that sits on a seldom-visited hill just outside the town. It was a powerful, emotional experience to visit the lonely hill—the last resting place of so many of his community who lost their lives while the dueling armies fought it out around them—alone at sunset.
At those times you realize that the pretty stuff is only architecture.
Other travelers met on the road have become new friends too; I'll soon be swapping trip highlights over email with the LA filmmaker from the Rhine River Valley village of Bacharach, the Seattle-area photographer from St. Goar, and the US psychology student from Colmar.
As I sit here shaking off jetlag and organizing my hastily-scribbled notes, I smile as I think about the experiences I crammed into my short trip. The research I did and the photos I took will yield excellent material for my article assignments. But more importantly, the experiences are already sowing the seeds of ambition for my next adventure overseas.
Cost per day (for a family of five): $68
Strangest things we've seen lately:
Back home, before 2011 when we hit the road to become The Nomadic Family, we used to not move without seat belts. I would allow the kids to unbuckle only when the car came to a complete stop in the driveway, and not a second earlier. Today, after hitchhiking on the back of banana pickup trucks throughout Central and South America, our motorcycle accident in Cambodia, and most recently, after sitting on the roof of a jungle expedition truck in Gopeng, Malaysia; we no longer regard transportation safety a parental concern. (God help us!) Strangest thing I've seen lately, is all five of us on the back of motorcycles on the curvy mountain roads surrounding Da Lat, Vietnam, with not a care in the world. I've spent my entire motherhood telling the kids how motorcycles were death traps, and here we are, with the Bull Riders of DaLat, on motorcycles. Strange, and liberating, indeed.

An Equal Voice for All
The New Hampshire-based Coalition for Open Democracy was established to address one unavoidable fact: American government no longer works for the American people. Citizens of all stripes agree that Washington is incapable of addressing our nation's most pressing problems because special interest money has infected our politics. On healthcare, education, taxes, poverty, environment, the deficit and more, ordinary people are paying the price for systemic corruption in Washington.
Founded by Doris "Granny D" Haddock, Open Democracy works to educate and inspire citizens in New Hampshire and beyond to "walk the talk" for democratic reform. Through our NH Rebellion (#NHR) campaign, launched by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig, we are committed to making the corruption of money in politics a leading bipartisan issue in NH's first-in-the-nation presidential primary in 2016 through mass-participation walks, birddogging candidates, a speakers bureau, and more.

vindaloo curry
Does anyone know where I can get (Indian) hot vindaloo curry powder?I had some a friend brought back from England, but am out and can't seem to find any that is comparable. Not being really familiar with the L.A. area doesn't help me know where to look, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
I don't know for sure they carry vindaloo curry powder - but there are a few Indian markets in "Little India" - basically a stretch on Pioneer Blvd (b/w 183rd St. and 187th) in Artesia. I've found everything else Indian related there.
re: rednyellow
thanks so much dtud and rednyellow!!
My husband always orders lamb vindaloo at Bombay Cafe on Pico, east of Bundy. He loves it but it's pricier than the typical take-out Indian experience in the UK.
If Artesia is too far for you, you can try India Sweets & Spices. I've only been to the one on Los Feliz Blvd, but they have many other locations.

re: rastan
There's a branch on Venice in Culver City. It's tiny, but I'm almost sure they would have vindaloo powder. I stocked up on garam masala and they had a bunch of other spice blends too. I don't know how their stock compares with the Los Feliz or other branches.
Since you are looking for a vindaloo curry power, it probably is something Anglo-Indian, since, from my understanding, powders are not used in India. In the UK powders are common.
May I suggest one of the British shops in Santa Monica, or Bay Cities, also in Santa Monica, which also has a selection of curries?

Boss admits Benzema interest
Sir Alex Ferguson was last night accused of trying to unsettle Lyon striker Karim Benzema by admitting he is keen to sign him for £30million. Fergie confirmed his interest in Benzema ahead of Manchester United's Champions League meeting with Lyon, a tactic the French club's president claimed was deliberately designed to unsettled the 20-year-old. Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulus, who hosted Fergie three weeks ago when the United boss went to watch the French champions ahead of their European meeting, turned on the Scot. Aulus said: "When Lyon, during the season, are interested in a player from another French club, everybody cries 'scandal'. But when, a few days before playing Manchester United, I read here and there that Ferguson is going to make an offer for Benzema, is that not destabilisation?" Despite United's interest, Benzema is under contract until 2012 and has claimed he wants to stay at Lyon for at least one more full season, although his club would be unable to turn down a £30m bid.
David McDonnell, Daily Mirror
Ahead of the second leg clash with Lyon, The Sun claims skipper Cris will miss the game at Old Trafford through injury.
In other news, The Sun reckons United and Liverpool are eyeing Peterborough's 6ft 5in goalkeeper Joe Lewis. Sir Alex Ferguson and Kop chief executive Rick Parry were at Wrexham on Tuesday night to see Lewis in action.

Look at it this way. Blame it on the government. It is Because of unfair tax laws, imposed by our socialist government. Corporations are now being forced to find any and all addtl profits by any means. So they open to gain an advantage and post more sales, to make up for our tax structure.
Dont you people see it? Its obamas fault..

March 8, 2006
The Fluvanna County School Board is set to look over the Domino Plan again in their meeting Wednesday night. It's the first one since the Board of Supervisors rejected their multi-million dollar plan to build a new high school.
The Fluvanna County School Board will hear information Wednesday night addressing concerns that some members of the Board of Supervisors had with the Domino Plan. It's then up to the school board to decide which direction to take.
This comes just three weeks after the board of supervisors struck down the proposal in a three to three vote.
"We understand that they had some further questions and some further information that they would like to see from the board, and so we're at the point of presenting that information to our [school] board tonight," said Fluvanna school superintendent, Dr. Tom Smith.
Some of the issues last month included whether the high school will hold enough students by 2020 and if the facility would offer vocational courses.
Fluvanna's school board chair says he understands some of the uneasiness.
"One of my biggest concerns is when you move into a brand new school or a new addition within a year or so you've almost outgrown it. So I personally don't have any problem with...at least putting in core facilities for more students," said John Gooch, Fluvanna School Board Chair.
The almost $60 million Domino Plan involves building a new high school, moving the middle school into the current high school, and turning the middle school into a 4th and 5th grade elementary school. It would be the most expensive project in Fluvanna's history. However it's one Gooch says he wants to stick with.
"I think for the most part right now we're just looking at trying to see if we can't take the existing Domino Plan and make it fit some of those requests," he said.
School officials are hoping that they can make the plan work for everyone fairly soon.
"We do need to move forward in one way or another. We need to build something," said Dr. Smith.
Now if the school board is satisfied with the information presented, they may decide tonight to give the green light once again to the Domino Plan, with some possible changes. It will then go before the board of supervisors once again.

Hi Richie,
I'm toying with Xen currently; finding it more robust than openvz but I've not done too much with it as yet.
Later this year we are building a new server core and I'm going down the road of virtualisation, redundant core switches and a dual SAN with High Availability (Openfiler with DRBD).
So far my tests have all revolved around Linux Xen (which is proving to be very easy, stable and nice to setup). My problem, at the moment, is that my boss is having doubts about it and talking about just putting in standard, basic, servers
What I'm looking for is a list of schools, companies, etc that use it and are happy using it (some online documentation to back it up would be excellent).
I, personally, don't see the problem as the virtual clients will mostly be running Windows 2008 server - but I think his concerns are that I'm looking at something very much "non-standard" (he's worried that when BSF takes over I'll be kicked out or re-deployed elsewhere - not to mention the concerns of what would happen if I had an accident).
Assurances that the whole setup will be fully documented (with "noddy guides" and pictures too!!!) haven't completely satisfied him, so any help very much appreciated
Hi Richie,
I'm toying with Xen currently; finding it more robust than openvz but I've not done too much with it as yet.
A friend of mine is the MD of Memset, a successful web hosting company who use Xen extensively to provide virtual 'dedicated' servers.
Among other things, they host Private Eye's website
We have everything except our MIS on Xen in production, and that will be too when we can find a good time to do it. What do you want to know? - visit if you like.
@AngryTechnician: thanks I'll use that as a reference
@powdarmonkey: thanks for the offer, but I'm really just looking for the info to make my case. I'm looking to try SIMS virtualised too
I'm trying to build up a good written case to present to my boss to allay his fears that I'm building on something not tried and tested, reliable and industry used.
Amazons EC2 compute cloud (i think im right in saying one of the biggest network of VMs on the planet) is built on xen

dhicks is using something simmilar and may be a good person to talk to when he is next on:
Your Virtual Setups
If mainstream support is a problem, you could always go down the Citrix XenServer route (which I have done). I'm not sure how 'supported' your SAN solution would be. You could always download 'Express' and try it out.
I'm not worried so much about the paid support side of things - I find that the ppl on here and other forums (fora ????) are very helpful.
I'm making sure everything is fully documented so that anyone new is easily able to keep things going
As I've said, I'm really just trying to reassure the powers that be that Xen is used in industry (and, hopefully, other schools) and is stable, etc
We run Xen on top of CentOS 5.1. Installation consisted of checking the "virtualisation" option on the install screen. That was it. Then you just create a config file for each VM (easy stuff, just tell it what disks to use, how much RAM to assign, stuff like that) and away it goes. "Standard" computers with single network cards assigned work easily, you can have a VM up and running in about 5 minutes.
Things I've found fiddly:
Installing drivers. You're using a customised Linux kernel, which generally works just fine, but can be a bit of a palaver if you have an exotic RAID controller or whatever. I never did get our (very cheap, eBay-bought) SATA "RAID" controller working, and it took me ages to get through the installation of a SCSI card (mainly, it turns out, because all the disks were dead anyway - explains why I couldn't seem to mount them...). My advice is simply to buy proper (£300+) hardware RAID cards that the machine will see as a single SATA disk, which is a good idea anyway as you'll get better performance. Either that or buy motherboards with 8 or 10 SATA controllers.
Similar to the above problem with drivers, installing DRBD proved a bit fiddly, too. The problem is that CentOS' packaged copy of DRBD seems to be set up to work with the non-Xen kernel. I eventually figured out that all I had to do was type "yum install drbd", then copy over the DRBD driver from a previously installed location and update the modules list. All quite easy in the end, but took a bit of working out (I have the details written down at work, I'll post them at some point). You also have to remember to configure CentOS' firewall to let DRBD traffic through.
Windows 2003 and 2008 work just fine under DRBD in HVM mode, assuming you have a processor that supports virtualisation extensions. I couldn't get Windows NT 4 to work (kept blue-screening a few seconds after booting from the install CD ISO) so instead I ran it under QEMU, which works just fine (and surprisingly fast). I have still to figure out exactly how to get networking working with QEMU - I was working on it last thing Friday, I hope to have it sorted tomorrow.
I couldn't get our SIMS (Windows 2003) server to transfer wholesale to a Xen VM, it simply refused to boot. It could well be that I didn't try long enough (I found out that SIMS now runs on Server 2008, so I figure I can just install a new 2008 VM instead) or that there needs to be some cunning conversion/transference done. That's the kind of thing where you could maybe hire in some paid support (a consultant for a day to transfer accross your existing Windows servers) or buy some conversion software to help you (Citrix are bound to be able to flog you something).
I can't quite get my head around networking with multiple network cards in a VM. The idea with networking is that create a "bridge", basically a software-simulated switch, which you then "plug" other network connections into. Choosing the "virtualisation" install option on CentOS sets all this up for you for one connection per VM - it all just happens. However, I wanted to have our Internet gateway and web server machines be VMs so I could move them between ADSL connections if one went down. An Internet gateway/filter/firewall needs two connections, of course - one to the outside Internet and one to the local network. Setting up the second network bridge and getting all the connections plugged in to the right places wound up utilising some scripts, which seems a bit complex just for a network connection. Again, it could well be that I've got the wrong idea somewhere (or, er, just not read the manual...).
I've trundled along fine with Xen so far (as of Friday I'm up to 10 Xen machines in our "cloud"). As with any virtualisation system, it's probably best to have all shiny-new servers with nice RAID cards and multi-core, virtualisation-supporting processors stuffed with lots of RAM. However, our system consists of some very, very old and crusty servers (I think one is from 1999) and some very, very cheap servers (£99 Dell specials) and everything still works, so the performance overhead certainly can't be huge.
David Hicks
webman (26th January 2009)
I'm already testing Xen on Centos 5.2 on a quad core desktop and a dual core athlon x2 (at home). I've had XP, Centos (32&64 bit), Win2k3, Win2k8 all running fine, but obviously not tried connecting client machines yet. I've even had VMs installed on iSCSI targets attached to the xen server (ran really slow, but I did have Openfiler sat on an old Compaq P3 733MHz lol).
I might even play around with Vista and Windows 7...
I want to try to build a Windows 2008 SIMS setup, but I believe there are problems with getting updates if you are already running a SIMS server - I'll also have to dig out the SIMS installation docs (once I find them).
I'm in the middle of building a test for Openfiler with DRBD and Heartbeat (on two Compaq P3 733's - so fast test lol). However, with money constraints looming, I'm not sure how much of this I'll be able to build - I might have to try to split some of the project over a couple of years (BSF permitting).
The servers I'm going to be using will have "proper" on board RAID (server class boards, so should be too) as opposed to the fake RAID you get on desktop computers.
More than likely I am going to sit our ADSL/cable link behind a firewall and just point our virtual gateway (Linux with Websense7) at it to save having to dedicate a LAN connection to the ADSL link.
One thing I'm not able to test until I get the hardware is Xen "live" (and not so live) migration - there are various documents on how to do it, though.

[MB-8199] [Doc'd] many concurrent view requests cause excessive resource consumption and even crash Created: 04/May/13 Updated: 09/Aug/13 Resolved: 09/Aug/13
|Couchbase Server
|Affects Version/s:
|2.0.1, 2.1.0
|Fix Version/s:
|Security Level:
|Matt Ingenthron
|Remaining Estimate:
|Not Specified
|Time Spent:

|Original Estimate:

|4-core CPU, 16GB RAM, Linux
|Operating System:

In response to many view requests against the scatter/gather view merger, a node can allocate so many resources that it will fail to recover.
In one case, this did cause many timeouts in the log leading to max_restart_intensity:
Supervisor: {local,ns_node_disco_sup}
Context: shutdown
Reason: reached_max_restart_intensity
Offender: [{pid,<0.17237.774>},
|Comment by Matt Ingenthron [ 04/May/13 ]
|Note, I put this on 2.0.2 since I know it shouldn't be 2.1 and there does not appear to be a 2.0.3. I feared it would be lost if it didn't have a fixfor version. Please move as appropriate.

|per bug scrub, alk - can you chk if aleksey a. can take a look at this?
|Comment by Aleksey Kondratenko [ 07/May/13 ]
We know this problem so I don't believe we should look again.
Fixing it for 2.0.2 feels a bit late but possible if really needed
|Comment by Dipti Borkar [ 07/May/13 ]
When you say, "we know this problem" can you elaborate on it a bit more? With more customers using views, they are likely to hit this as well.
Can you help us understand the scenario a bit more? When this problem can happen? What is the probability of hitting this?
|Comment by Aleksey Kondratenko [ 07/May/13 ]
|If you send too many view requests to any node it'll swamp it and kill. I recall seeing that during pre-2.0 testing and there must be MB- somewhere.
|Comment by Maria McDuff (Inactive) [ 09/May/13 ]
per bug triage, upgrading to blocker.
the fix is to throttle the requests and not to crash/terminate.
it's fine to be slow but not crash.
alk k to take a look for 2.0.2
|Comment by Aliaksey Artamonau [ 16/May/13 ]
|We merged a simple request that can be configured via internal settings: http://review.couchbase.org/26334.
|Comment by Aleksey Kondratenko [ 16/May/13 ]
It should also be noted that given we don't have experience how well this approach works in production we decided to have "unlimited" as default limits.
We can try playing with that stuff in-house plus get some experience with customers after 2.0.2 is out and then we'll have enough data to enable it by default and set right limits.
|Comment by Aleksey Kondratenko [ 16/May/13 ]
|CHANGES text is here: http://review.couchbase.org/#/c/26361/2/CHANGES,unified
|Comment by Matt Ingenthron [ 16/May/13 ]
|Alk: we should request QE to develop a test for this. See it cause the problem in 2.0.1 and see it not cause the problem in 2.0.2, right? Assigning it to Maria for that purpose, then it should be closed perhaps when verified? Not sure what QE's process is here now.
|Comment by Matt Ingenthron [ 16/May/13 ]
|Maria: Can you work with the team on the appropriate way to test that this is fixed and won't cause other problems?
|Comment by Maria McDuff (Inactive) [ 17/May/13 ]
pls verify by:
-instrumenting a test that sends many view requests. do manual first then automate (if you already have a test that does similar test scenario such as this, just tweak that and use it here for this verification testing).
-verifying no crashes happen. if you observe, slowness, note it here. slowness is ok.
-noting alk k's "unlimited" dflt limit set. verify all his changes on review link.
-using stable build of 2.0.2 which should be built tonight or tomorrow.

We also need to document this.

|Has QE verified that this does in fact solve the problem?
|Comment by Perry Krug [ 28/Jun/13 ]
Karen, just one thing:
-[FIXED] The release notes link on page 352 points to "Adjusting Rebalance during Compaction" but should be "8.8.1. Limiting Simultaneous Node Requests" right?
|Comment by Aleksey Kondratenko [ 28/Jun/13 ]
|renamed to ticket's subject to more accurately reflect it's nature. I.e. this is not strictly speaking a leak.
|Comment by kzeller [ 01/Jul/13 ]
Fixed link: In the past too many simultaneous views requests could overwhelm a node.
You can now limit the number of simultaneous requests a node can receive. For
more information, see REST-API, see <xref linkend="couchbase-restapi-request-limits" />.
removing labeling until relevant for 2.2
|Comment by Chiyoung Seo [ 09/Aug/13 ]
Please close it if it is already resolved.

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona RB Ka'Deem Carey records slow 40-yard dash time, ASU RB Marion Grice doesn't participate
After watching the offensive linemen and tight ends have their fun Saturday, Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey and Arizona State running back Marion Grice finally got the chance to showcase their talents at the NFL Combine Sunday.
Though, it was hardly a showcase for either.
Carey, who led the Pac-12 with 1,885 rushing yards to go along with touchdowns in 2013, didn't exactly impress scouts with his 40-yard dash results at Lucas Oil Stadium. The former Wildcat's second time of 4.70 seconds ranked 29 of the 33 running back participants.
Despite entering the weekend with projections that he'd be one of if not the top running back taken in May's NFL Draft, Carey, according to CBSSports.com's Rob Rang, certainly didn't help himself.
The 5-9, 207-pound back's staggeringly slow time will certainly drop his draft stock, though he plays much faster than this workout indicates. He's an instinctive, determined runner with good quickness whose soft hands and grit as a pass blocker make him a weapon on all three downs.
As for the other local tailback, Grice was one of three running backs who didn't run the 40-yard dash.

About Pamela LaGattuta
We purchased this home because we love the area and life on the lake and someday hope this will be our retirement home. I grew up in the area, and after living and teaching in the Detroit area for fifteen years, am very glad I made the move back to Northern Michigan.
Pamela LaGattuta purchased this house in 2012
Why Pamela LaGattuta chose Long Lake Town
This home is perfect for a family vacation. It is in a quiet neighborhood on the lake, yet so close to the convenience of Traverse City. We started using VRBO after the birth of our daughter. We found it was much easier for us to vacation with a baby/small child when we had a full kitchen, laundry facility and our own private, quiet space. We hope other families will enjoy the Traverse City area and the amenities of our lake house.
What makes this house unique
We love the indoor hot tub and fireplace. Every night, after dinner, we make smores and have a dip in the hot tub before we go to bed. Our daughter thinks it is a special way to end the day...making memories.
