8 Easy DIY Yard Projects
5. Patio Furniture
What's a well-maintained, flower filled deck without furniture? If your current patio table and chairs is on its last legs, before you buy a new furniture set take into account Roberts' mini-guide below for purchasing outdoor furniture meant to last:
• Weather-resistant pillows in bold colors bring comfort and zest to the seating area, while floor pillows add extra seating.
• Make sure your patio umbrella is weighted to prevent high winds from taking hold. Many glass top tables have been broken by high winds

And finally, Roberts says wind chimes and an outdoor clock/thermometer are affordable outdoor accessories to spruce up the area.
6. Building a Fence
Installing a fence around the perimeter of your property could costs thousands, but is certainly necessary for safety and privacy reasons. Barbara Hastings, senior manager in marketing communications at Troy-Bilt, a manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, offers the following tips for constructing the perfect fence (though this project is likely for the experienced DIYers.)
Step 1: Spacing
To begin, you need to plot out the fence outline and mark all corners. Posts should be spaced six to eight feet apart.
Step 2: Posts
Set the fence posts at least two feet into the ground. This should equal one-third of the overall length of the post. Dig post holes at marked locations and add gravel in the bottom of each hole. Place posts in holes and fill with concrete to two inches above ground level -- then brace the posts.
Step 3: Rails
Cut your fence rails once the posts have set. Nail them four feet apart from each other. Attach bottom stringers to fence posts with screws and nails -- usually six inches up from the grade. Attach top stringers to the fence posts approximately six inches below the top of the pickets.
Step 4: Pickets
Once you have determined how many pickets you will need, cut them to length. Lay out the pickets side by side to determine how wide the spaces between them should be. Attach pickets to the stringers with screws and nails. Using a spacer block can help with space consistency.
Step 5: Protection
Once you have completed construction, remember to apply paint or stain to protect the fence from inclement weather.
7. The Birdhouse
You read that correctly -- the birdhouse. It's a common backyard accessory, but whether or not you have one in your yard, it may not have a copper roof. Eric Berman of Erikson Birdhouse shares the following tips for how to construct a striking copper roof for your birdhouse, bound to stand out and garner compliments from guests (and neighbors!)
Step 1: Calculate
Determine the dimensions of your birdhouse's roof to estimate the appropriate size of sheet metal to purchase. Most home improvement stores will cut the sheet metal for you.
Step 2: Bend
Use the bar folder to bend the edges over two to three times around the perimeter. This provides a sturdy, blunt edge for the roof and improves the look of the finished product. After the edges have been folded, you can easily bend the roof with your hands to fit it onto the birdhouse structure.
Step 3: Customize
For a patina look, use the metal spritzer to lightly mist the copper roof. Allow to dry completely. For a newer, polished copper look, omit this step.
Step 4: Attach
Align the copper roof to your structure. On the copper sheet, mark where the nails will attach the roof to the birdhouse. Once the marks have been made, drill holes into the roof using a metal-cutting drill attachment, making sure the holes align with the wooden structure of the birdhouse. Using the copper nails, attach the roof to your wooden birdhouse.
8. Barbeque Cleaning
Now that your deck is looking brand new and your outdoor furniture is in tip-top shape, it's time to start grilling. A filthy barbeque impacts the taste of the food. A dirty grill doesn't mean you need to replace it. Instead of buying a new grill, cleaning your current one is a cost effective way to grill as if you bought the barbeque yesterday. Bruce Yacko, CEO of JAWS Cleaners, shares his expert tips with MainStreet:
Step 1: Heat
Heat the grill to a low heat and use a stiff wire brush for the grate(s). Be careful to avoid coming in direct contact with the hot grates.

braided apple bread
What a week it's been! I spent a long weekend in Arkansas visiting family, which was made a little longer by the record-breaking flooding and rainfall. What remained of this week has been a whirlwind of catching up on work as well as chores around the house. But silly me! In the busyness I completely forgot that I made this bread twice last week, and I wanted to share it with you. It's a beauty.
Like this wheat bread, this is a perfect recipe if you're a little afraid of yeast. Or a lot afraid of yeast. I made this bread at 6,000 feet and again at sea level, and both times it turned out beautifully. If that isn't a vote of confidence for a yeast bread recipe, I don't know what is.

Southwest Airlines and its Marketing Strategy
By T. Scott
Principles of Marketing
Southwest Airlines is recognized as a leader and "most admired company" in the Airline Industry. At a time when many airlines have struggled to record profits in the wake of the September 11th Attacks and the most recent Economic Crisis, Southwest has managed to earn a profit and flourish. In fact, Southwest has managed to record a profit every year for the last 37 consecutive years. The airline operates nearly 3,300 flights per day making it the number U.S. carrier based on the volume of domestic passengers carried. The Airline operates in 69 cities covering 35 states. Their fleet is composed exclusively of 541 Boeing 737 jets with an average age of 10.5 years. Southwest Airlines operates a point-to-point passenger flights in order to maintain maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
Overall Business Strategy:
Southwest Airlines's business strategy is based on maintaining a competitive advantage in four key areas:
1. Southwest has lower operational costs relative to its competitors and they are able to achieve greater operational efficiency.
2. The Airline consistently achieves and maintains high ratings in customer satisfaction relative to its competitors.
3. Southwest's business strategy is based on an "award winning" Employee/Organizational Culture which fosters a positive work environment for its employees.
4. The Airline competes in an industry where profits are tight by maintaining a competitive advantage across various operational dimensions by which all airlines are measured.
In order to maintain lower its costs and maximize its efficiency, Southwest Airlines was the first airline in the industry to fly one type of jet (the Boeing 737). Flying one type of aircraft allows Southwest to eliminate redundancies in having to provide instruction and training to employees in operating and maintaining various types of aircraft. For...

Grand Hotel Quisisana (5 Star Luxury Hotels) Capri
Via Camerelle, 2 - Capri
Capri: Piazzetta, Faraglioni, Grotta Azzurra and... Quisisana
Three reasons why you'll love it here
- A holiday in a historic hotel, symbol of Capri
- The exclusive wellness treatments in the Quisi spa
- The award winning Mediterranean cuisine
Situated in an unrivalled position, in the very centre of Capri's designer shopping district and close to the Piazzetta, the Grand Hotel Quisisana has for over a century been synonymous with all that is greatest in Italian lifestyle and hospitality.
In the mid 19th century a british, George Sidney Clark, built a sanatorium here, on one of the most sheltered and sunny sites on Capri, calling it "Quisisana" or "here one heals". Gradually, as tourism increased, the sanatorium metamorphosed into an hotel. Over the years it saw many changes of ownership, until it was acquired by the Morgano family in 1981.
Now, after much renovation and improvement, this five star luxury hotel has 150 exquisite rooms and suites. Most rooms have windows onto the beautiful swimming pool and immaculate gardens. The gardens and the sun-drenched terraces offer stunning views of the St. Giacomo Charterhouse and the Faraglioni Rocks beyond.
Fine Mediterranean cuisine is to be found in the "Quisi" Restaurant where guests dine beneath sparkling chandeliers and sweeping arches or amongst the columns of the lovely terrace, as they sip wines from the hotel's exemplary wine list. The poolside "La Colombaia" Restaurant serves regional specialities, including traditional pizza. The recently opened "Rendez-Vous", which has an entrance off Via Camerelle, is now one of the most popular venues. The Quisi has ensured that even those addicted to Sushi can enjoy their favorite Japanese delicacies whilst staying here, in the Quisi and Sushi Bar.
Revitalising face and body treatments restore elasticity tone and balance in Quisi Beauty. In the wellness centre guests will find a saltwater hydromassage pool, indoor pool, sauna, Hamman, steam bath and fitness room and in the hotel's gardens there are tennis courts and a large outdoor pool.
Highly qualified events organisers and their support staff are on hand to assist with important functions of all sorts - conferences, seminars, conventions - which can be held in any of the Grand Hotel Quisisana's ten fully equipped meeting rooms.

The swimming pool facing the Faraglioni is fabulous and, for Capri, it's pretty big too.
Victor R. and 8 others agree with this
The bedrooms are enchanting and the attention to detail is evident throughout, from the choice of linen to the quality of the in-room amenities and technology.
Isabella S.C. and 13 others agree with this

Melanie S. and 8 others agree with this
We were surprised to discover just how big the hotel was, especially when you consider how small Capri is.
Martha S. and 8 others agree with this
If you're looking for the best, you'll find it at Grand Hotel Quisisana: an icon of island hospitality, where all your dreams come true.
Nicholas G. and 12 others agree with this
All the restaurants were excellent: impeccable service, superb dishes, and beautiful presentation.
Friederick A.B. and 7 others agree with this
Not only is Hotel Quisisana situated in the center of Capri, Hotel Quisisana is the center of Capri!
Samuel B. and 12 others agree with this
The Quisisana is the quintessence of Capri: elegant, traditional and, at the same time, equipped with every modern comfort.
Isac M. and 14 others agree with this

Authorities resume search for missing ASU student
Photo: Image by Journal Broadcast Group
Web Producer: Mekita Rivas
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Police searching Tempe Town Lake for a missing Arizona State University student say they'll resume the search after a resident reported seeing something that resembled a person's silhouette in the water.
Tempe police spokesman Michael Pooley said Friday that the search for Jack Culolias will include the river basin and the area north of Tempe Marketplace.
Pooley says Tempe police received a call Thursday night from a concerned resident who saw an object in the water northeast of the area that crews had searched for three days.
Authorities say Culolias had been kicked out of a Tempe bar Friday night and was suspected of being drunk.
Campus police say Culolias' friends saw him heading to a taxi cab, but he hasn't been seen since. His mother reported him missing Sunday.

Video: Googie Architecture, Part 2
Sunny & Mild Media presents Part 2 of its Googie Architecture Series, presenting design work at the cusp of technological innovations of the 1950s. Emerging out of an obsession with the fast new world of cars, planes and rockets, Googie Architecture became an ultramodern style that sought to encapsulate the spirit of the 21st century. The new forms – sweeping, cantilevered roofs, starbursts, and flowing forms – became a form of advertisement that caught the attention of motorists, for its vibrance along the stretches of highways and for its distinctive style.
This installment features a closer look at the diners and restaurants that thrived in the '50s and were designed with the Googie style. Even the one of the first McDonald's restaurants adapted the style to work with its logo. Many of these buildings stand in ruin now, but the style was used in all kinds of building typologies – most of which emphasized the car: drive-thru's, drive-in's, car washes, diners, and gas stations. Even Las Vegas, and our associations with the its architecture today, are a reflection of that style.
Video: Googie Architecture, Part 1
Googie Architecture, shared with us by Sunny & Mild Media, is part one of a series that encapsulates the futuristic design found prevalent in the post-war sprawl of Los Angeles during the 1950s. Popular among coffee shops, motels and gas stations, the ultramodern style originated from the Sunset Boulevard coffee shop, designed by John Lautner, named Googies. A Googie building was a symbol that a business was with the times, which in turn brought traffic and attention to its doors. Form followed function, and it's function was advertisement.

Googie Architecture: Futurism Through Modernism
At the peak of the modern era, a meshing of car culture and the Space Age brought about the gaudy and garnished Googie architecture. The signatures Googie style lie in sweeping arches and hard angles, cantilevered roofs and bold colors, and, its most relative homage to the Space Age, the starburst. The first of the Googie style, and its namesake, was a coffee shop designed by architect John Lautner by the name of "Googies". With its place on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles the new style caught the eye of many passersby who began to associate the style with the glamour of Hollywood. The spread of this movement from Southern California went most notably north and south along the shore to become a symbol of west coast futurism.

Natalie's Review
Château De Gaudou Tradition Malbec 2008, A.C., Cahors, France: Vintages Wine Panel: This wine is mostly Malbec, with splashes of Tannat and Merlot. Ripe and rich, it exudes delicious notes of blueberry, black-berry, chocolate and raisin. Dry and medium-full bodied, with ample acidity and powerful tannic structure balancing all that sweet fruit character. Opaque, almost black in color. This wine is filled with sour cherry, anise, cocoa powder, raspberry and cinnamon. This one will reward serious cellar time. Give it four years and then keep looking at it for another six after that. My note: This wine is a blend of 15% Merlot, 80% Malbec and 5% Tannat. Lip-smacking delicious with aromas of black cherry, fig, red currant, coffee and cigar box. Terrific acidity for food. It's full-bodied but not heavy. 104935 13% XD 750 mL $13.95 Score: 88/100. January 22, 2011 Full Review

An effective infrastructure network, including a transportation system that efficiently moves people, goods and services, is essential to California's economic prosperity and quality of life. California's business climate and lifestyle are endangered by decades of underinvestments and poor planning for roadways, schools, housing, levees and other infrastructure.
Develop and maintain a statewide transportation network that is adequate for the needs of business, agriculture and individual citizens.
Federal Transportation FundingPosition: Many transportation projects in California rely on funding from the federal government. The California Chamber of Commerce supports a well-financed, dependable and efficient transportation reauthorization that allows for maintenance of frail infrastructure, encourages new construction projects, and ultimately creates well-paying, reliable jobs for Californians. The CalChamber encourages California's congressional delegation to ensure a fair share of funding for the state in transportation proposals and policies that encourage growth. Federal Transportation Funding
High-Speed Rail in CaliforniaPosition: The California Chamber of Commerce opposed Proposition 1A because of concerns with sustaining additional indebtedness when the state faced massive budget deficits. The CalChamber remains skeptical regarding funding plans that rely heavily on uncertain federal funds and ambiguous ridership numbers. In addition, there are many other high-priority issues that deserve legislative attention and funding.
Nevertheless, the CalChamber recognizes that voters passed Proposition 1A to make the initial investment in a high-speed rail system in California. Until the will of the voting public changes, the CalChamber seeks to limit further increases in costs. The CalChamber will seek to ensure that all interested private firms—whether foreign, out-of-state, or California-based—can bid for contracts without constraints so that the system can be built in the most cost-efficient manner. High-Speed Rail in California
Port CompetitivenessPosition: The California Chamber of Commerce supports policies that result in improved trade volumes, increased employment, and enhanced economic growth. Improvements in infrastructure will ensure that the state's ports remain vibrant and competitive. California lawmakers should focus on policies that improve public-private partnerships to invest in port infrastructure and remove unnecessary regulatory barriers to growth.
The CalChamber supports the following policies in order to make California ports more competitive: A fair, balanced, workable regulatory environment; an enhanced public-private partnership for immediate investment in trade-supporting infrastructure; strategic trade policies that stabilize and improve state and national economies. Port Competitiveness

Funeral pyre to be set up in Lahore
By Anjum GillLAHORE: The Punjab government on Wednesday has approved a plan to set up a Shamshan Ghat for performing last rituals of corpses of Hindus near Saggian Bridge, sources said.Sources said 10 kanals and 15 marlas of land had been allocated for the purpose near Saggian Bridge. The city district government would carry out the project and bear the cost.The government had also allocated funds to renovate the Krishna Mandir of the Balmik Hindu Community in the city on Ravi Road.Hindus burn their dead and throw the ashes preferably in River Ganges. There were about dozen Shamshan Ghats in the city before partition and the ashes were thrown in River Ravi. After Partition, most of the Hindu community moved to India and the number of Ghats diminished.The Hindu community in Lahore had been demanding land for a pyre in Lahore from the past many years and the government had selected suitable land to help out the Hindu brethren, sources said. Munawar Chand, Pakistan Balmik Sabhas general secretary, told Daily Times that the Balmik Hindus had been burning their dead on the banks of River Ravi after partition. For some time the river had not been flowing well and the Hindu community waited till the rivers full flow in the monsoon season to throw their ashes or would go to Sukkur, Mr Chand said.Asked if it were true that most Balmiks had converted to Christianity or Islam, Mr Chand said, Most of the Balmik Christians are secretly Hindus. One will see what happens once the pyre is established. There is a contradiction in their words and deeds.

The Game Developers Conference is perhaps where PlayStation Home's heart is. After all it was there, in 2007, that Phil Harrison unveiled Sony's vision of a networked virtual world for PlayStation 3.
As announced at last month's GDC, Home has since been downloaded 19 million times and has seen many evolutions. And now more changes are occurring with the launch of new tools designed to increase the options developers have when it comes to creating games for Home.
But what does this mean for the average PS3 owner? Will the changes be enough to make those who have left Home want to return? Eurogamer sat down with Jack Buser, director of Home for Sony Computer Entertainment America, to find out.
Eurogamer: What does the GDC Home announcement mean for gamers?
Jack Buser: These new tools will give our game development community the tools they need to build better games than you've ever seen before in Home. The new client will allow games to have better graphics, more robust physics and online, real-time multiplayer capability.
This will allow us to build game types like online multiplayer first-person shooters, racing games... All kinds of game types that maybe you haven't ever seen before in PlayStation Home.
Eurogamer: So you're saying they're going to be better looking than any games we've seen in Home - but how will they compare to regular PS3 games? Presumably they're not going to be right up there with, say, Killzone 3?
Jack Buser: One of the great things about PlayStation Home is that it's leveraging the power of the PlayStation 3 hardware to provide these 3D immersive experiences that normally you wouldn't be used to seeing in social games.
Also, the game types that we see in PlayStation Home cater much more towards the core PS3 demographic. So you're going to see things like shooters on the platform which, traditionally, social games don't necessarily support.
In terms of graphical capability per se, I wouldn't really draw an overarching comparison. I'd leave it up to the consumer to decide, when they're playing these game, how they feel about the graphical quality. Personally, I think some of them are absolutely beautiful.
Eurogamer: But there are already online racers and shooters with really great visuals available for PlayStation 3. If I already own Killzone 3 or MotorStorm, why would I bother booting up Home to play those other games?
Jack Buser: Well, there are a few big differentiators to playing games inside PlayStation Home rather than standalone retail games or our downloadable games. The first of these is that you're playing these games as part of a continuous world.
So as you're wandering around this world, you might just find a game and find yourself as part of that game without really knowing you've joined a game. Or you might just see a group of people huddled round a game, wonder what it is and wander over to check it out, in a very seamless way.
One of the most fun things in PlayStation Home is wandering around the world and finding all the great games there are to play, that maybe you wouldn't know about otherwise.
Secondly, I'd imagine a big differentiator is the business model. Many of these games, like Home itself, are free to play.
At conferences like GDC, we toss around the word freemium. [Home racing game] Sodium 2 you can play absolutely for free - boot up Home, we don't charge anything, go over to Sodium 2 and start racing. That is very differentiated from traditional retail or downloadable games where you'd have to pay.
So if you want to play with your friends on Sodium 2, you can just tell them to come on in , it's free and you don't have to buy anything.
Eurogamer: What's in it for you, then?
Jack Buser: The freemium business model is a new business model in games that's gathering a lot of traction on social game platforms in general.
The core philosophy is that these games are free to play and you don't have to buy anything, but if you want that extra edge you can buy a special weapon or booster or some sort of special something, at a very low price point, generally via microtransactions, which gives you an edge in the game.
You don't have to but you can if you want to, and that's the core of the experience. You'll have some subset of the overall audience that will want that edge.
Eurogamer: But doesn't that mean gamers who do just want to play for free are at a disadvantage, compared to those willing to spend money?
Jack Buser: It depends on how the game is designed. A game like Sodium 2 is designed to be a balanced experience. You come in and race with your friends. If somebody wanted to purchase the booster using a microtransaction economy, then it's a matter of game balance.
There's a lot of talk about how to overcome the challenge and that's one of the more interesting things going on in game development right now - how do you incorporate this business model with game design? We're fortunate to have PlayStation Home developers who have really mastered this aspect of balance in their titles.
Eurogamer: You've just announced that Home has been downloaded 19 million times. Obviously that's a huge number, but it's still less than half the installed base of PS3. Considering Home is free, you're saying it's a great service with all these free games, why is it that less than half your userbase is interested in it?
Jack Buser: First off, I should say we're very excited about that number. For any service built into a piece of hardware, that's a very significant.
Eurogamer: I'm not saying it's rubbish...
Jack Buser: Right. There are a couple of things you have to do to get into PlayStation Home. First of all, you have to be connected to the internet - not everyone's PS3 is.
Second of all, you have to be connected to PlayStation Network. Some hardware is sold into territories where Home is not available. Then you have to come into Home.
So there is a process, and it is free, and we're extremey happy with the attach rate we do have, but you do have to register for PSN and be online.
Eurogamer: So do you think there's a registration block? Basically people can't be bothered to go through the admin required to get into Home?
Jack Buser: I'm not so sure. I really think that in terms of getting people into Home, it's just a factor of how many people are playing games online, how many people are registering for PSN then coming into Home.
That said, to have that attach rate so high is really a testament to not just Home but also the PS3 userbase. That's a very, very high attach rate for a service on a piece of hardware.
Eurogamer: I know you're not saying what the number of active users is. But anecdotally, I know a lot of people who installed Home on their PS3s and have since lost interest in the service, and haven't been back. Is that a problem you're conscious of? Or do you think that's just the minority?
Jack Buser: There are two big factors which go into an active userbase. The first of these is acquisition - getting new users to come in and try the service. One of the great things about Home is that it's built into the Cross-Media Bar, it's core to the PS3, so that acquisition is really efficient for us.
The second factor is retention. One of the things we've found to be the killer app for retention on the platform has been games.
A lot of users who are coming into Home now are presented with a new Home navigator which allows them to access content relevant to them. This allows them to to get into these games and see the kind of experience we're providing now.
We also see a lot of users returning to the service now they see these kinds of games are available on the platform, and that many of them are free to play.
So we're quite happy with the direction the platform's growing in right now. This focus on games has really treated us quite well.
Eurogamer: What would you say to someone who hasn't booted up Home since they first downloaded it? How would you persuade them come back to the service?
Jack Buser: First of all, just come back in and play some of the games. Sodium 1 is currently live, Sodium 2 is coming soon, try out the Midway, Novus Prime, Dragon's Green...
There are so many great games on the platform which are ready to play. If you haven't fired it up in a long time, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Jack Buser is director of PlayStation Home for Sony Computer Entertainment America.

Jegri island Lighthouse is about 11 km from Mahuva town which is about 100 km South West of Bhavnagar. Mahuva is situated on coastal highway and is a Rail terminus. Jegri island is made up of sand stone rocks. It is surrounded by swamp leading to Mahuva bay. There is a metalled road from Mahuva to the lighthouse. Regular bus service is available.
Mahuva was part of Bhavnagar State prior to independence. Port at Mahuva had trade links with Malabar, Konkan and Bombay. The state Metre and Narrow Gauge rail link was extended up to the port. Steamer service for Bombay touched Mahuva also in the early 20th century. The port has since died down with only fishing activities left now.
Jegri lighthouse was earlier known as Katpur lighthouse. It started in 1871- an ordinary wick lamp inside a 6th order optic kept on the terrace of light keeper's dwelling. The wick lamp was replaced by DA gas flashing light in 1930. Subsequently the present 30m Lighthouse tower and RCC Baffle wall were constructed in 1959. The equipments for the light and its gensets supplied by M/s. Stone Chance, Birmingham were installed in December 1959 and the light was exhibited on 15th January 1960. The sound vibrators and gensets for fog signal, supplied by M/s. BBT, Paris were installed in 1962 and was put in to operation on 15th April 1962. The fog signal was decommissioned in 1986. The direct drive system and Battery operated emergency lamp were incorporated at the station on 3rd September 1995.

Reducing carbon emissions – police, fire and ambulance
Reducing carbon emissions – police, fire and ambulance
Police, ambulance and fire services are reducing carbon emissions, leading by example within the communities they serve and to support Government progress towards national Climate Change Act targets of 34% by 2020 (42% Scotland) respectively.
But, carbon reduction also delivers considerable efficiency savings for our emergency services. Building and transport-related cuts to energy consumption of 25 per cent or more are achievable through numerous low cost implementation measure, many with immediate payback, relatively small CAPEX or with payback periods under three years.

112 CHAPTER 6 Hyper-V and high availability Clustering is done by using technology to group two or more servers together into a single functional unit. Traditional clustering techniques require the individual servers, or "nodes," to be physically identical--that is, they need to have the same hardware configuration, memory size, CPU speed, etc. They also need to be identical in software configuration, with the same OS and (ideally) patch levels, and the same applications installed. In addition, all nodes of a cluster must have access to the same data storage, at the same speed; this is typically done with a high- performance SAN. There are two common types of clusters: fail-over and load-balanced. Fail- over clusters consist of a single node that typically handles all of the client requests, called the Primary node, and one or more nodes that are largely inactive unless the Primary node goes offline; these are called Secondary nodes. In a load-balanced cluster, all of the nodes participate actively in serving client requests. In most cases, a load-balanced cluster can also serve as a fail-over cluster, since one or more nodes of the load-balanced cluster can typically fail without the other nodes being impacted. In any cluster, two major challenges present themselves: determining the status of a node member (particularly in fail-over clusters), and determining which node of a cluster currently controls a clustered application and its data. The first challenge is met with a heartbeat network, which is typically a physically separate set of network cards that communicate a signal, or heartbeat, to determine the status of each node. Data ownership is tracked by a data partition called the Quorum. The Quorum is a separate partition from the shared data, that also needs to be equally accessible to all nodes in a cluster. The quorum tracks which node is the owner of a given set of applications or data. A simplified diagram can be seen in Figure 6.1. MICROSOFT FAIL-OVER CLUSTER AND NETWORK LOAD BALANCING Microsoft has built into Windows Server since 2000 the ability to create a fail-over cluster in their Enterprise and Datacenter editions. The process is greatly simplified in Windows Server 2008, utilizing a wizard-based approach to validation and configuration of the nodes. The validation por- tion of the setup wizard checks your nodes as well as the available storage and network connections to ensure that the infrastructure will support the cluster, as well as checking the applications to ensure that they can support a clustered environment. It will also confirm that the server hardware is sufficient to support a clustered environment, before performing the steps necessary to set up and configure the cluster.
