A home-built virtual RAID with ATA over Ethernet
Raiding the Net
We'll show you how to build a network-based virtual RAID solution using ATA over Ethernet.
ATA over Ethernet (AoE) is a protocol for accessing media via Ethernet. A remote client can access the device directly through ATA commands, which the protocol software encapsulates, transmits, and disassembles at the other end (Figure 1). AoE is often used for building low-budget Storage Area Network (SAN) devices. An interesting feature of AoE is that it lets you combine remote disks on different systems into a network-based RAID array. In this article, I describe how to set up AoE and use it to create your own network RAID system.
Required Components
The exact specifications for the AoE protocol are available online [1]: In a style similar to iSCSI, the literature refers to the system that provides the physical disks as a target. The initiator is the system that integrates the disk.
AoE is very easy to set up on most Linux systems. On the target, you just need to install the vblade package; on Debian systems, this is a painless procedure using:
aptitude install vblade
Running the install on the initiator is just as easy, but this time you need the AoE tools (
aptitude install aoe-tools). You now have the
aoe kernel module, which you can load with
modprobe aoe. If you want to load this module by default at startup, simply add a corresponding entry to your
/etc/modules file.
Providing Media
vblade program lets you manage disks and partitions. You'll need to enter parameters for a shelf number, a slot number, and the network interface to serve up the storage, as well as partition and volume details. You can also provide a file (e.g., a raw image). The shelf and slot number, or their combination, must be unique on the network.
In addition to buffer settings and the access mode, you can specify MAC addresses as a comma-separated list. This list acts as a whitelist: Only computers with the specified MAC addresses can access the data.
For testing purposes, it makes sense to use a raw image. The following command generates a 10GB image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/raw_image.raw bs=1M count=10000
If you prefer to try this with real data carriers, instead of the image (
/test/raw_image.raw), simply insert the device name (e.g.,
/dev/sdc1 for the first partition on the hard disk integrated as
Shelves and Slots
To share the newly created raw image on the target as Shelf 2, Slot 1, simply type:
vblade 2 1 eth0 /test/raw_image.raw
If all requirements are met on the initiator system, the disk will be visible immediately. If all the requirements are not met, you might need to run the
aoe-discover command. To see the media available to the system, you can run,
ls /dev/etherd
although you'll get more detailed output if you enter
aoe-stat (Figure 2).
vblade is fine for test purposes; you will probably want to run the program in the foreground to see a lot of debug information (which you can abort with Ctrl+C). The corresponding background service is
vbladed. In both cases, the data you provided disappears once again after a reboot.
If you want to automate the integration of initiators and targets, the tool you need is
vblade-persist. However, the program is part of separate package and first needs to be installed with:
aptitude install vblade-persist
To provide the raw image used above permanently, it first needs a persistent export:
vblade-persist setup 2 1 eth0 /test/raw_image.raw
Absolute paths are used for the disk or file. Select the device with
vblade-persist auto 2 1 to launch automatically. To deploy immediately without a restart, you can enter:
vblade-persist start 2 1. For an overview of all the persistent AoE exports and their states, simply call
vblade-persist ls.

Renowned Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi feels censorship is a global problem.
"Censorship is an ugly method of improving our life," said Zanussi, who will be honoured Tuesday with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the opening ceremony of 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.
He said that police states tackle this problem in a harsh way, while democratic nations do it in a far more reasonable manner.
Speaking to media persons here Zanussi said, "Internet may build a completely new society or it may destroy us, so the big challenge is to find a balanced way."
Talking about Indian cinema, he said that independent cinema and the popular films are complimentary and one must respect the latter for being the representative of common culture, though not satisfying to personal tastes at times, said a statement.
Known for his artistic and acclaimed films like "Camouflage", "Family life", "The Silent Touch", "The Contract" and "Revisited", Zanussi said of Polish cinema now that "though it is doing well on a contemporary note, but they are not well recognized as was the case during the political turmoil of early eighties."
Describing cinema as a young discipline, the he said that his own best is yet to come.
His film "Illumination" will be shown at IFFI.

So. We picked a guest speaker for Pulse, one of IBM's flagship conferences. And this time it's not a sports hero. This time we picked someone more renowned for his serious passion to save the world. For real. Our dude is busting his rump to save us from the fire and brimstone we'll be swimming in when all the glaciers melt. And since we here at IBM have been talking the talk of building a smarter planet, I'm thinking our choice makes a lot of sense. Because the world wouldn't be so smart if we all got dead. There'd be all these data centers floating about aimlessly. Just saying.
Ladies and Gentleman of the blogosphere, please put your fingertips on your keyboard and prepare to tell the rest of the interwebs that we are honored to host:
But if says he's building an arc, I'm still not buying stock in the big box home improvement center that's breeding grackles in its 40 acre parking lot. They're chasing away all the song birds. I'm just saying.

This week marks a milestone for the Pulse team as we kick off our plans for the 2010 conference this week. With my enthusiasm and curiosity to see what we come up with to maintain our creds as the Premier Service Management event at an all time high, I did what I do every day. I logged into Facebook.
Sounds like a cry for help and, judging by the digital face that follows her confession, she is truly concerned. That is, until she discovers she is not alone in this situation.
Hence, this social media voyeur has learned that there is great value to be gleaned from lurking around Facebook and Twitter (LinkdIn too, no doubt) while planning an event for 5000 people.
1. More people are Tweeting and Facebooking more than ever from various mobile devices.
2. More people are retweeting and linking Twitter with their Facebook and YouTube accounts.
3. Sadly, there are still daily wall posts that reflect the state of the economy.
4. It's hot out there.
The writing's on the wall. Just read it.

Pulse 2009: Viva Las Vegas!

Everyone is a winner at Pulse 2009! Why is that, you ask? Because Pulse 2009 will be held February 8-12, 2009 at the legendary MGM Grand in fabulous Las Vegas! We'll open registration and issue a call for speakers in September, 2008. So mark your calendars and reserve your place at the table.
Personally, I thought Pulse 2008 was exhilarating, but true-to-form, Tivoli wants to up the ante. The best way to do that is to get you all involved in the Pulse 2009 game plan. You want more coffee in between sessions? You want a better parking situation? You want more sessions on Green or Cloud Computing? You want to see Lance Armstrong or Hootie, again? Well, friend, add your two cents to the kitty and sweeten the pot for us all. Here's what to do:

It has been gorgeous Friday here in sunny Austin, Texas at a nice 65-70 degrees. It's only fair to give props when props are due, especially since I have used this blog to gritch about the oppressive heat last summer, which ended yesterday I think.
So! Onto the real reason I brought you here:
Did you know that you peeps only have like two weeks left to get your proposals in to present at Pulse? I know you all have an IBM story to tell. Maybe you don't think anyone would want to hear it or maybe you are concerned that you don't have time to prepare. Or maybe you just don't think that there is good reason to bother.
Nonsense, I say to thee!
First of all, this offer isn't just for high-ranking executives or big business partners. We also need the folks who actually hands-on run the stuff we sell your company. Does it work? Did it get you out of a fix? Did it prevent you from being in a fix? Did it save more money than it cost? That sort of thing.
Secondly, you don't have to worry about this taking a bunch of your time. We'll make it easy for you. This is not a test that you are going to be graded on. This is your story and it's one you know so well, you've probably even told it at a cocktail party. And all you need to do right now is pick a category and draft a 150-word description of what you will talk about. Oh, and submit it at the Pulse website by November 2. That's nothing! This blog is already 280 words. Here is an article that can help you get your proposal accepted.
And thirdly, do you realize what an opportunity this is? You will be immortalized!
Seriously, we promote the heck out of the good stuff people say at Pulse. Why on earth wouldn't we? We might even interview you on camera (if you let us) and put you on our YouTube channel and Tweet, Facebook, and of course blog about you. Client presentations from Pulse are wildly popular. My colleagues ping me weekly with, "I need So-and-So's presentation from Pulse 2009 for a meeting with [client, executive, press, you fill in the blank]!" We'll make you famous (sort of).
Here are some more goodies for our speakies:
What are you waiting for? The deadline is November 2 and the clock is ticking!

Just got out of Day 1 of Pulse General Session Kickoff. I was unable to get a stable connection in the Theatre, so I've had problems in uploading media to the two channels below, but keep checking since I should have cool stuff I'll be discussing throughout the conference uploaded soon:
Videos: Pulse channel on YouTube (see recent activity in left column also click on subscribe to get updates on recent activity)
Photos: Pulse group on Flickr (see slideshow mode) (must click on join group to upload and share your photos too)
-->See here for Day 1 Pulse keynote videos
Highlights so far:
Forrest Sawyer is here hosting Pulse News Network, who is roving around conducting live stories at Pulse
Themes center on Smart Planet, Dynamic Infrastructure, Cloud computing, Service Management in the Industries, new Storage product announcements, and Service Management and SOA.
Laura Sanders and Alan Ganek, in comedy style mode, discussed demos of how
Jim Haney, Harley Davidson CEO, spoke on how important
Tom Rosamillia, General Manager of IBM WebSphere Software, spoke on how SOA and Service Management together help deliver the Dynamic Infrastructure vision and invite folks to learn more at the upcoming IMPACT conference in May.
John Brandt, from the MPI Group, spoke about how Convergence is a great opportunity moving forward. As a community strategist, a key point he kept reinforcing that resonated with me was that Customers are rarely buying a brand. For instance, they are not buying beer, but relationships and community. Yup!
He says we all should be asking three main questions: What do your customers really want? Can employees deliver real innovation? Do your processes drive consistent measurable progress?
Repeated theme throughout the entire morning was: Who will lead the charge for a Smarter Planet and Dynamic Infrastructure: You! You! You! Rich Esposito, VP of IBM IT Strategy and Architecture Services, specifically called out CIOs, stating they are in a bittersweet spot--being challenged to align with both the demands of the business and the world. He said they are in the best position to lead the journey and transform the waters. The good news is that being a good citizen strategically also helps in lowering total costs in managing IT and business infrastructure in the long run!
In the Pulse twitter chatter, a lot of conversation centered on definitions of Cloud and SOA and the smart planet concept.

Jennifer Dennis 110000CSRM email@example.com Tags:  recessioin pulse grand bogeyman conference rational vegas service marketing service-management ibm mgm las 2009 management 2010 2,593 Visits
Hoping to capitalize on some clever Internet trend or hilarious current event for my next blog, I discovered something called the Top 20 Marketing Trends of 2009 on Google. This list managed to be both dull yet somewhat intriguing all at once. Dull because it was a list, which I find inherently boring. Intriguing because I wanted to see just how "on" it's predictions were. Did it predict what was obviously already a trend, or did it predict something altogether fresh that emerged in March or June?
The truth is, I don't know because I never made it past trend #1: Recession Marketing. The author writes,
"Expect a lot of marketing messaging related to the recession. Don't be surprised to see lots of offers that "save you money" throughout the year. With fewer purchasing dollars available, how will your marketing message be distinctive and stand out?"
I confess that the word "Recession" kinda makes me shudder. It's like the Bogeyman. Spooky and invisible. Now that I have your attention, Recession seems to say, let me infect you with anxiety and paralyze you with pessimism.
On the other hand, the Recession has inspired all of us to pause and ponder our situation. It is always wise to think, but thoughts alone never saved nor earned a penny and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, right?
So let's give the Bogeyman the boot!
If you are managing a dynamic infrastructure as executive leadership, security, operations, storage, production, delivery, facilities or communications service, the way to do this is to reduce cost and risk to the business and amp up the service quality and delivery. You probably already knew that, but did you know that IBM Service Management can provide the visibility, control, and automation for your business to lead a successful transition through the recession?
Where to Begin

If you only choose one event in 2010, Pulse is the one you can't afford to miss where you will learn new, proven ways of deploying service management solutions, which could have an ROI benefit 10 times higher than the conference cost.

After a six-year absence (thanks, Kane & Lynch) and a poor film adaptation (thanks, Hollywood), Agent 47 made a triumphant return last week with Hitman: Absolution, an important installment for the stealth genre and a game we thoroughly enjoyed (read our review).
Absolution is just one step in the path forward for publisher Square Enix and developer IO Interactive. There's interest in bringing out a new Hitman film and another video game installment is already in development, although for the first time at a different studio. Hitman: Absolution game director Tore Blystad compares the development to Activision's schedule for developers Treyarch and Infinity Ward (and Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software).
A year ago this week Square Enix announced the opening of a new Montreal-based studio to bolster their presence in the area (with Eidos Montreal already there). Square Enix Montreal would be working on a new triple-A title: a new Hitman game. With the timing of that studio opening early this year and Hitman: Absolution just releasing last week, there's an obvious overlap of production between IO Interactive completing Absolution and Square Enix Montreal working on the yet-to-be-revealed Hitman 6.
What does the developer switch mean for the style and story of the Absolution followup? According to Blystad, it will feature Agent 47 but it will be different.
"We've been talking about these similarities to some of the big movie franchise like Aliens, where everyone's doing it their own way. Every time someone gets their hands on a franchise they do something different. So rather than doing the same thing again you get another take on the character from a fresh perspective."
But will it still feel like Hitman?
"Well there are talks between us and of course it has to be somewhat in sync but it's the first time you could say Hitman has gone out of the house. Luckily it's with someone we know. Some of the key developers came from IO and have been working on previous games so it's not like it's in completely new hands."
An immediate concern upon hearing this news is that Hitman would change, perhaps trading in stealth for action and losing its identity. With IO still involved, we can hope 47 returns with his suit and red tie, ready to trade it in for any disguise to eliminate his mark. With a new Splinter Cell on the way, another game with a storied past in the stealth genre, we wonder how its changes and reception next spring will affect the direction of the next Hitman.
[Update: Hitman 6 concept art drawn live by Square Enix Montreal artists.]
Before IO began work on Kane & Lynch and its sequel, they developed a Hitman game for release every two years. With Square Enix Montreal now involved, we can expect a similar release schedule and potentially, Hitman 6 in the fall of 2014.

I have used this ramp for 5 years. Have three ATV's and four bikes. Works great for loading as you can walk-up with bike, no tall step! ATV just drive up. Length is good because it fits in bed and you can close tailgate, any longer you would have to leave it open. Haven't had a problem with tabs. Just the plastic end caps have fallen out. Chains are fine, they are made to secure to truck while loading not really hold any weight so they could actually be lighter weight. Just got to hold it right when carrying so it doesn't open, I just wrap chains around end through. Hope the helps someone?

I used this product maybe 5 times to load my Polaris Sportsman 500. The quad is well below the 1500lb rating however, the last time I used it I was nearly killed. The ramp broke where the tabs are connected, the safety chain bent straight and failed and I went flying to the concrete below with my 600lb quad on top of me. After a broken tailbone, split elbow and cracked skull I would strongly urge users to never use this ramp again. I know I won't be.

Comments about Haul-Master 1500 lb. Capacity Tri-Fold Aluminum Loading Ramp:
I purchased it to transport my John Deer mower. It is the perfect size. It is not too heavy to lift. I especially like the safety chain feature that keeps it from slipping off the base of the trailer. You have done it again Harbor Freight!! I'll be back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The loading ramp has been very useful/helpful in loading and unloading our riding mower. I have a heart condition, so it is easy to use. I do look around for the least steep angle to set it up, but it definitely does the job.

"Site of Old Baltimore & Capt John Smith" Havre de Grace Things to Do Tip by Ewingjr98
Havre de Grace Things to Do: 37 reviews and 90 photos
At this site near Havre de Grace, you will find two historic markers which read:
Site of 'Old Baltimore' -->
The first County Seat of Baltimore County, 1659 to 1700, was located on Bush River. In 1683 it was made a Port of Entry by the Maryland Assembly.
The town of Old Baltimore was on the bank of the Bush River opposite the sign, in the Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground. Later nearby Joppatowne, then the city of Baltimore became the county's capital.
The second marker reads:
Captain John Smith
in 1608 ascended this river to this point. On his map he called it after his home in England "Willowbyes Flu" or river. Now Bush River.
John Smith gained his fame when he founded the first permanent English settlement in the New World at Jamestown, Virginia.

For kids, performance matters more than you think; after all, they're the ones who are scrambling up the hill and climbing on things while us grown folks merely hike. The Keen Gypsum knows this so they included a heavily treaded, non-marking rubber outsole and secure drawcord lacing, The upper is made of both durable nubuck leather as well as breathable textile, which complements the rambunctiousness rather nicely.

Tough to beat Keens for kids! Super durable and comfortable; no whining. Easy to put on and keep clean. Just buy'em your won't regret it. Not my first pair and definitely not the last.
Do the sizes run big or small?

Hey Jennifer,

In adult sizes the Gypsum runs a half size small. In the kids version, however, they run true to size. I hope this helps.

Bootights coming to Dillard's
Just in time for winter — and the gift-giving season and Black Friday — comes Bootights, the first tight designed exclusively to be worn with boots.
Bootights, a sock and tight all in one, were created by Shelby Mason. While walking through an airport security line, she slipped off her stylish boots to reveal not only her gray tights, but an old pair of white tube socks "borrowed" from her father months before for extra comfort and warmth. Busted! But who among us hasn't worn socks and tights with boots?
Worse yet, one sock had slid down her ankle catching the zipper and snagging a new pair of tights. Shelby spent the entire flight wondering why she couldn't have a cute, quality tight combined with a cozy foot bed to wear with her boots? By the time she landed, Bootights was taking off.
Bootights, costing $30, will be in select Dillard's stores Nov.27. In Oklahoma, you can find them at the Penn Square store in Oklahoma City and at the Woodland Hills Mall store in Tulsa. For more information, go to bootights.com.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have signed offensive lineman Donald Thomas to bolster a unit that lost center Dan Koppen to an ankle injury.
Koppen is expected to miss an extended period after being hurt late in the first half of Monday night's season-opening 38-24 win at the Miami Dolphins.
Thomas was drafted by Miami in 2008 in the sixth round out of Connecticut and spent two seasons with the Dolphins and one with Detroit. He signed with the Lions last Nov. 23 and was inactive for the last six games. He was released on Sept. 3.
In Wednesday's other moves, the Patriots released offensive lineman Thomas Welch, signed tight end Garrett Mills and linebacker Jeff Tarpinian to the practice squad and released linebacker Aaron Lavarias from the practice squad.

Bristol woman dies after hit by carNovember 26,2012
BRISTOL — An 85-year-old Bristol woman has died after she was struck by a car on Saturday while walking across the street, Bristol Police said in a press release Sunday.

War Games, a five piece Rock Band from Southern Massachusetts USA, demonstrate their continuous ability to uplift and inspire listeners with themes of finding yourself and not giving up on what means most to you. Formally 'Another Option' the band's debut EP 'Mountains", produced by Ace Enders of The Early November, laid the foundations for the band's sound and established a strong fan base. Though the members of 'War Games' had been rigorously touring the US/UK together for years under their former name, the band's first official tour as 'War Games' was a succession of 25 dates on the Ourstage.com stage of the 2012 Vans Warped Tour. Since Warped Tour, the band have set out on multiple US tours, recorded an Acoustic EP and are currently putting the finishing touches on their first every full length album. The full length album titled 'Holding Patterns' is set to hit stores early 2015, following the album's release will be a full UK tour.

Moon Worship
By popular request I've created a night-time companion piece to "Sun Worship" this afternoon. You might notice that I've given the lady on the rocks a friend with whom to enjoy the view :-)
Dual and triple-screen versions are available.
I've also been working to make DB look a bit better on mobile devices. Check me out on your phone or tablet and let me know that you think!
Look who's turned 10 years old today!
It seems like just yesterday that I was posting about him being born!
Sun Worship
Created this scene in about 8 hours after uploading yesterday's 65 hour render. It was nice to have Shadowfax back!
Nothing ultra-complicated here; just wanted to do a breezy, sunny, happy and quick wallpaper. Is it a bit rough around the edges? Sure, but I will clean that up in the days ahead and have a multiscreen version posted soon.
Halcyon (Glow)
Wanted to create a night version of "Halcyon" with glowing blooms. I changed the blooms to red because, quite frankly, there's been an abundance of purple in my gallery recently.
The volumetric fog made this one a 65hr render rather than a 3 hour render so let me know if it was worth it! The early version I've added to the Pickle Jar doesn't have the fog for comparison.
I've spent the past week or so working through my backlog of multiscreen renders and I've finally had the chance to work on something new!
Now that I have figured out how to create flowering plants in "The Plant Factory" I am learning how to create hanging blooms. Eventually I would like to create a massive wisteria tree.
I must learn how to walk before I can fly however so consider this a baby step in the right direction.
I hope you enjoy it!
Purple Rain (Sunset)
As is usually the case when I post a daytime render, I get requests for a nighttime or sunset view. For my Prince tribute I received requests for both. The night version (which you can find in the Pickle Jar) features a luminescent tree for a more "fantastic" look.
Let me know what U think!
Purple Rain (Tribute to Prince)
Like many of you I was shocked and saddened to hear that one of my favorite artists, Prince, passed away suddenly on Thursday. As a huge music fan and a lover of unbridled creativity in all its wonderful forms, losing Prince feels like someone turned down the lights a little on our world.
I've loved Prince's music since his "Little Red Corvette" days in the early 80s. One of the things that always most fascinated me about him was that he taught himself to play the piano (at age 7), the guitar (at age 13) and the drums (at 14). As a young person he gave me hope that I could teach myself to succeed creatively.
If you've followed my work over the years you know that I try not let the world intrude into my gallery. I've always wanted DB to be a place to escape the pains of real life. This is an exception.
I was working on this render when I heard the news Thursday and I immediately started adapting it to become a tribute to his genius. I hope you enjoy it.
Rest in peace Prince!

Obama – 52%
McCain – 43%
Want to know how stable Obama's lead is at this point? Look no further than Virginia. Public Policy Polling ran the numbers back in the early part of October at the numbers were 51 to 43 in favor of Obama.
Virginia's going blue this election. Count on it.
Some demographic highlights…
- He leads 48 to 39 with independents.
- Democrats support Obama 89 to 8. Republicans support McCain 88 to 10.
- McCain captures white voters 53 to 42, but would need a 60 to 40 split to win.
- New voters who didn't vote in 2004 support Obama 61 to 24.
- 59% of voters say the economy is their top issue. Obama leads among this group 63 to 32.

Located on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, Vancouver is home to an international community with flavours, sights and celebrations from around the globe. Whether you're drawn to urban beaches, quiet art galleries or the disco ball-like sparkle of Science World, Vancouver holidays offer the perfect mix of low-key and high culture. Pack your parka so you can explore local parks on rainy afternoons, dust off your opera glasses for a concert at the Orpheum Theatre and polish your dancing shoes to hit the club scene—or you could bust a move outside the science centre for a similar effect.
As you plan for a Pacific Coast adventure, you'll be happy to hear that finding hotels in Vancouver is easy peasy, especially near the downtown waterfront. For convenient accommodation near Vancouver Airport, book your stay in the Marpole neighbourhood or in Richmond, a suburb directly south of the airport.
Things to Do in Vancouver
Vancouver may be one of the most populated cities in the world, but there's plenty of green space to explore, from the quiet VanDusen Botanical Garden and Stanley Park to the high-flying Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge that offers a tree-top view from 50 metres above the canyon floor. Swap the flora for fauna at Vancouver Aquarium, where you can journey to otter space—sorry, it was too easy—and make a few finned and floating friends. Not really outdoorsy? Indulge your inner shopaholic with designer finds on Robson Street or get some dim sum in local haunts in Chinatown. Just follow the scent of dumplings. To enjoy some seaside living without straying far from big-city Vancouver accommodation and amenities, lay your towel on the sand at Sunset Beach in the West End or take a ferry to Granville Island for some gallery hopping, and oh yeah, pirate reenactments. Arr, matey!
Getting To & Around Vancouver
Touch down at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), about 13 km south of downtown Vancouver hotels and attractions. Getting around Vancouver is very easy, which is perfect for your easygoing holiday self. Public transportation is affordable and efficient with buses and rail services weaving through the metro area. The city is divided into transit zones and many of the most popular sights are located in Zone 1. Just sit yourself down on a cross-town light rail train, or hire a car or bike to navigate the seaside streets on your own.
Best Time to Visit Vancouver
Vancouver gets some rain, it's true, but that's what makes the city so pretty. During spring (March–May), Vancouver comes alive with fresh blooms and anticipation for the International Dance Festival and EAT! Vancouver, a festival with the sole purpose of stuffing your face with delicious food. Come autumn (September–November), the summer crowds go home and the local celebrations are in full swing, like Bard on the Beach, International Fringe Festival and Vancouver Writers Fest, among others. Which one will you attend?
Ready to explore Rain City? Not without booking flights to Vancouver with Wotif! We've found the sweetest deals on airfares and accommodation in Vancouver so you don't have to.

The Spyder Women's GT Insulated Jacket is there for you when the foggy weather brings a chilly temperature along with it. Spyder placed its proprietary ThermaWeb insulation throughout the sleeves for fantastic warmth, and 3M Thinsulate in the body offers a low-profile insulation that keeps your core nice and toasty while reducing bulk. The stretchy softshell lets you easily hail cabs and wave to friends, and a Spylon+ DWR coating sheds moisture off the jacket for a much longer time than conventional DWR coatings.
A long silhouette covers you from your hips up with wonderful protection against the cold, damp weather. The fleece backing slides over your work attire without a wrinkle, and brushed microfiber at the collar is super soft next to your skin. The softly insulated hood and internal stretch cuffs seal out the poor conditions and retain all that wonderful warmth while you walk to work.

Great jacket, very original, well made!

Prisma Honduras, S.A.This loan is administered by Prisma Honduras. Prisma is one of Kiva's first field partners in Central America and has funded over 2,500 entrepreneurs through Kiva since 2008. Prisma funds smaller than average loans for micro-entrepreneurs to help them grow businesses in urban and rural areas.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

"Latakia" Top 5 Page for this destination Latakia by MadKiwiBeast
Latakia Travel Guide: 80 reviews and 180 photos
Fianlly after much confusion I finally found what I was looking for - The Ass of Assad. My map and directions say its on Sharia 14 Ramadan but the locals call the street something else. Even standing on this street somebody told me there is no street by that name. I don't know if its just one of those days but I suspect its just that the people of Latakia just don't understand maps. Admittedly my bad day started in Tartous, when the cleaner of the hotel I stayed in insisted I pack now and leave the room - at 10.30, checkout is 12. So very pissed off, not having had a coffee or cigarette i slammed the door and threw my stuff in my bag. The day didn't get better. Arriving in Latakia, instead of being let out at the bus station they just put me on the street somewhere. I was not in the mood for being ripped off by a taxi so decided to walk. One helpful man sent me in the right direction, said go that way and after a while turn right. So I did, but turned right too early, asked directions to 14 Ramadan Str where Assads arse should be and got sent down the wrong street. After walking some time and not finding his posterior I asked again and was told Ramadan street was miles away, this I ignored because you hear it all the time in Syria, a 10 minute walk is miles away. so I just asked which direction, this way, this way, that way? The man just looked confused. Luckily 2 guys overheard me asking directions to Ramadan St or Hotel Latakia or Assads statue and said walk 400 m down the street on your left, turn right and after 300 m is Assad and hotel Latakia. Finally got there. The guy working there was really rude straight away and told me I have to pay 400, I had been told less than half that. I refused and walked out, sat on the stairs feeling miserable and thinking I would just go back to Damascus, stuff the castle Salah al din and Latakia. The man came out and said I could have another room for 300. I just looked at him in disgust, why didn't he tell me that the first time? The hotel next door, Samir Amis was only 200syp but had this really stephen king looking "hotel" scrawled at the top of the stairs in dripping red paint (see latakia hotel tips for picture) But its clean, with nice staff so decide to give Latakia a chance. Thinking maybe my directions were incorrect I went and asked for a map at the tourist information - my directions to get there were good. But it turns out there is nothing wrong with my directions, its the maps or the people or both. I asked a map in Arabi to be sure it was correct but still the tourist information even (who can't really speak any other language or tell you anything you don't know already, like directions to the microbus station, or the name of the street on which you are standing) insisted Ramadan Street is round the corner when the map clearly states its straight ahead. There are no street signs and it seems the locals have just made up their own names for streets which do not correspond with the map. I am so happy I bothered to learn the script even if I can't speak the language. Don't bother asking directions here you'll only get lost.
Next day: To my humour a Norwegian cyclist had the same issues....
Just became a vegetarian today. Wish I could photograph a stench. As a walked into town looking for the backside of Assad I had to walk down a street full of chickens, some in cages, some just standing on top looking dehydrated. Being a smoker, my nose is not the best, thank God, cos as it was I nearly puked and had to hold my breath. Vile, putrid, revolting, my vocab just does not extend far enuff to describe the smell. On the same street was what appeared to be a restaurant called the French Cock which gave me my first and so far last smile of the day.
I stumbled across some students practising music just down the street near the internet cafe. Apparently they are there every Thursday. It was a great mix of classical arabic instruments and violin. Worth looking for if you are here on Thursday.
Went to Qalat Salah ad din, the castle the next day which was cool with a cyclist from Norway and a rather annoying little syrian guy but it was all good. Castle pics later

J. Rawls and Sadat X speak on their influences and the new project, The Hip-Hop Affect.
Taken from J. Sands' The Poet Tree of Life LP.
It's been awhile since J Rawls and J Sands dropped an album together. The much heralded Lone Catalysts have been virtually invisible – sans a few J Rawls releases – since they dropped the critically acclaimed Hip-Hop back in 2001. So, while we have sat and been drilled with crappy release after crappy release, [cont.]
The Pittsburgh to Cincinnati duo of J. Rawls and J. Sands are Hip-Hop personified, from Sands off-beat lyrical sidestep to Rawls sublime musical subtleties, the two have risen above the blase' marketeers to become a respectable pair for 2001 and beyond. The Lone Catalysts' sound isn't abrasive or mind-altering, rather it's subdued, with a producer/emcee relationship reminiscent [cont.]
