Hi guys. I'm new and was wanting to play a caster but idk which. Any feedback?
If you're just looking to play a clothy, for new players I would suggest a Necromancer first and an Elementalist second. Necromancers have the most base HP of any of the casters and are probably the easiest to talent for a new player. Elemenalists look pretty straight forward, and they are once you spend some time with them but figuring out attunement synergy takes a little more attention span than, say, a pet build Necromancer. They're also REALLY squishy unless you build them for survivability.
Mesmers IMO are the more complicated of the three and it took me a while to figure them out mechanically. So much so that I started mine on day one of the head start and played him to 37 that weekend then shelved him until I got more experience with the way the game works. I got two other characters to 80 before I picked him back up and felt comfortable with a couple of builds that I use regularly now.
Mesmers are the least played class for a reason. Obviously not everybody will have the same experience I did, but most would agree they're a pretty complicated class. Plus all the pink and butterflies tend to scare most men off.
All of that said, all of the professions in this game have several different builds that are all viable for you to play once you get used to them and do some research and thinking. A Necromancer could be a mini-zerg with a pet army or they could be a one-man debuff machine turning the tide of a bad fight with smart use of Wells and Marks. Elementalists can be long ranged support or up-close and personal assassins. My Mesmer? He's got ~23k HP and likes to run head-first into enemy garrisons in WvWvW.

I'm not so sure mesmers are the least played profession. Usually when people speak about least player professions I hear engineer and necro. Seems to me that I'm always seeing mesmers around, at least on my server.
I think of lot depends on whether your main focus is PVe or PvP. For example, mesmers in PvP are quite powerful. In WvW, elementalists are quite useful, as well.
Necro pet builds tend to be mostly useful in PVe and the only other build that seems to be useful is a condition wear them down build. That's why necros have so much more health than other caster professions. Because it takes longer to down things.
I'm going to say that it depends completely on your playstyle rather than just making a recommendation. Of all of them, I believe the ele requires the most skill to get right, because there are some pretty easy builds for the mesmer that take relatively little skill to master.
So, do you prefer more large direct damage, more condition damage, wearing down the enemy? More sleight of hand bedazzle and confuse? Those are really the questions.
In this game, it's not really about best. It's all about playstyle. Try one of each, make sure you unlock every weapon on each one and play up to level 20, then decide yourself. Because everyone is going to have a different answer.
Personally, I never really liked DoT type characters like WoW's warlock. I'd rather have a nuking character. Plus I played the necromancer but I sort of got bored at level 15.
Also mods, I accidentally posted this in the wrong part of the forum since I was on my phone.

I'm just looking for an alt caster since my main is a warrior. I like to have a change of pace.
Oh I was going on the last graph I saw they had released, looking back at the date now though it could be waaaaaay different now. I do see more Mesmers now than I used to but I still see way more of every other class but engineers unless I'm hanging out in the jumping puzzle in WvW. I think it's gotten to the point that people have gotten their main characters up and they're trying out other stuff. Most of the mesmers I see are in the first few zone tiers. I'm usually the only Mesmer among with a few warriors and thieves when I do pug dungeons. Now when I do guild runs there could be three or four of us in the run!
Those cookie cutter builds are pretty good but when you customize your character for your own preferences and play style it's so much better than any build anyone else could give you. The great part about this game is that any class can be picked up and played by anybody of whatever skill level, as long as you put a little effort into it.

Mesmers are pretty much as top tier as you can get, hah. If you're just talking about strengths vs weaknesses.
But the other casters fill different rolls.
When I played mesmer I felt really weak. I don't know if I was playing it wrong or what.

Traffic flow is much improved on I-44 near the 41st Street bridge following completion of a project that widened the interstate in this area. This view, looking northeast from 41st Street, shows the new roadway with the Broken Arrow Expressway in the distance. The fourth westbound lane at far left becomes an exit-only lane for the new 41st Street exit ramp, which was relocated to connect to 41st Street at Hudson Avenue. The old ramp was in the grassy area at left. The eastbound I-44 entrance ramp from 41st Street forms a fourth eastbound lane that continues east to the Broken Arrow Expressway and becomes an "exit-only" lane there. Construction on this section began in 2010 and was completed in 2011. The completion of this section makes I-44 six or more lanes between the I-244 east interchange and Columbia Avenue (east of Lewis Avenue). Photo taken November 11, 2011.

A kidney transplant is a surgery to replace a diseased or damaged kidney with a donor kidney. The donor may be a relative or friend. The donor can also be someone who has died and donated the organs.
Anatomy of the Kidney
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A kidney transplant is done to replace a kidney that is no longer working and cannot be fixed. It may also be done if the kidney has been removed (eg, as cancer treatment). A kidney transplant is only needed if both kidneys are not working. Kidneys fail due to:
More than 90% of transplanted kidneys from deceased donors remain working after one year. The success rate is higher with a kidney from a living donor.
If you are planning to have a kidney transplant, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
There is a shortage of donors. You may be on a transplant list for some time. You may need to carry a cell phone with you at all times. This will allow the transplant team to reach you if a kidney becomes available.
Your doctor will likely do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
The doctor will cut into the lower abdomen. The donated kidney will be connected to your arteries, veins, and ureter (tube that carries the urine to the bladder). In most cases, the diseased kidneys will be left in place. The doctor will then close the incision. The new kidney may start producing urine right away or within a short time.
You will have a catheter left in your bladder. This catheter will be connected to a bag to collect urine.
3-6 hours
You will have pain during the recovery process. Your doctor will give you pain medicine.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-2 weeks. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have complications.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you will need to:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After the recovery process, you may be able to return to work and normal activities.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs. In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Highway Patrol Moves To Electronic Citations
Associated Press - Fri 07:14 AM 10/12/2012
Kansas Highway Patrol troopers will be issuing electronic citations instead of written ones starting next week.
The system will first be used in the northwest part of the state, with the other six regions to make the switch in a few months.
District courts throughout the state support the move because it is expected to reduce lag time in getting ticket information to the courts and help law enforcement track violations.
A news release from the Highway Patrol says motorists being issued a ticket won't see much of a delay, and their signature won't be required.
The system also won't allow fine amounts to be changed.
The patrol says no new hardware was required to implement the system in patrol vehicles.
Comments must stay on topic and be respectful. Comments that are personal attacks, make unfounded accusations, or are for the purpose of "trolling" or inciting others will be removed. Offending users will have their profile suspended.

Indy452 I am sorry I missed spoke about Iamgonna or Getalife first saying they are one in the same and then falsely calling them names which is forbidden on Ksal.

Yes they do have risk and their personal safety in jepordy when they stop vehicles but they choose to be a trooper.

Well your not so smart victory. A few days ago you took the 'a' out of my name and made comments. Then once again you made false accusations about me and now you are posing as me.

So victory got caught screwing with someone's name on here. I am not surprised. I noticed that the name was not the same for Iamgonna and wondered what was going on. Plus the verbage was not the same. When you have forums like this it attracts the lonely and mentally ill people to post to feel good about themselves. The sad part is the rest of us have to suffer because of them acting like pre-schoolers. I myself have pointed out that this person has multiple id's now he has proven it. I hope ksal catches on to victory2012 now that he has shown them the real danger he presents on here.
Sunday 14 October 2012 01:15 Report this comment
Gee whiz I am gone for a couple of days and all heck breaks out. Victory2012 I was correct evidently in my complain against you as Iamgonna has found out. Are you going to try it with my name next?? Hope you do because I will not call KSAL but I will go down there and demand you be taken off of here. When people like you start pulling this type of thing KSAL has got to change their procedures for letting people register and abuse the system. There definately is something wrong when someone does this for attention.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Oxygen's 'All My Babies' Mamas' sparks outrage before it airs
To the Times:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
As the nation prepares to observe the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I think it is more than appropriate to revisit the meaning of the above quote and its relevance to an international petition against the airing of Oxygen Network's reality show "All My Babies' Mamas."
The Oxygen Network says it is prepared to air an hour-long special that features a rapper named Shawty Lo, his 11 children and the 10 different women who gave birth to his 11 children. An international coalition (of which I am a part) has launched an international campaign against Oxygen's "show" and is prepared to ensure this travesty clothed in the term "reality" is choked into shame.
Oxygen believes that Shawty Lo's household chemistry or the lack thereof will be entertaining to their young female demographic and give them something to "tweet" about. Our petition, initiated by Sabrina Lamb, is grounded in an uncompromising belief that child exploitation is unacceptable. To be sure, Oxygen is not airing this program to explore or solve any problems. To the contrary, they'll act as if they don't even see problems. And all along they are hoping Shawty Lo's family can create as many problems as necessary to hold a weekly audience.
Based on some general public reactions to our petition, I recognize it's easy to misunderstand why we object to "All My Babies' Mamas." Let me try to be clear here. Our petition is not about the plight of single mothers. Our petition is not about unwed mothers. This is not a moral conversation about a departure from traditional marriage. This is not about someone's right to pursue a career and make money.
This is about a network filming, editing and broadcasting the plight — and exploiting — 11 young children and calling it entertainment. In a now "removed" Internet video trailer, The Oxygen Network introduces the "mamas" of this reality show with stage names like "Bougie (bourgeoisie) Baby Mama," "Fighter Baby Mama" and "Angry Baby Mama." Then, of course, they show related clips of the "baby mamas" living up to (or down to) their names. They scream at each other, talk about each other and plot against each other.
This is the reality viewers will witness with Shawty-Lo's 11 children. Maybe they'll have a therapist on the set to calm the children after they've been traumatized by their own parents. Some people are saying this show is no different than other reality shows. People are asking, how about Basketball Wives? How about The Bad Girls Club? How about this? How about that? Some people are saying, "This exploitation didn't just start. It's been going on for a long time." So has our inhuman apathy. Some people just talk. They talk and talk and talk. They complain and do nothing. Our coalition is doing something about this show. If you're concerned about one of those other shows, get up off your indifferent butt and start a petition. Otherwise shut up.
My personal opinion is that this rapper guy (I hate even writing the words "Shawty Lo." It's pathetically childish) is allowing himself to be used. He knows — like a doorknob knows to turn when you twist it — what he is doing. The women probably know what they are signing up for. Trying to make a little money. They "know" what they are doing. Like doorknobs. But the children. The children. They're children. Untarnished choice as a child is not easy to come by. Especially when your parents are childish. Continued...
You might not be a fan of Aaron McGruder's animated comedy series "The Boondocks." Maybe you've never seen it or even heard of it. I like "The Boondocks," but this is not a promotion for the show. This is a frame for my argument.
There is one episode in particular called "Return of The King" that includes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This is a cartoon where the writer takes creative license and supposes that Dr. King was shot, critically injured and never actually died. Instead he was in a 32-year coma. He wakes up in the year 2000 and observes the condition of African Americans. He is ashamed of them but many of them are happy to see him. Some show their affection for him by calling him the "N" word. He's been sleep for three decades and when he awakes a term he once despised has been transformed into a term of endearment.
The reality is that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not wake up on April 5, 1968. He was shot on April 4, 1968. He died. His dream died with him. He could only come back as a cartoon character. It would be fitting, however. There are a lot of cartoon characters in our midst masquerading as mothers and fathers. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Another King quote.
The Oxygen proposal to use these 11 children for laughs is no laughing matter. It is unjust. Some of us refuse to sit by silently and let this particular madness happen. If you've got something in particular worth standing against do it. We're standing against "All My Babies' Mamas."
In the last few days, The Oxygen Network has started to rephrase their original information about the show. They're pulling down videos. Claiming material was "leaked." They're saying they were misunderstood. They're saying they mean no harm. That doesn't mean harm won't come to these 11 children.
Our coalition has chosen our battle and drawn our line. This moment matters and we won't be silent. Imagine a father putting his daughters on a corner, prostituting them for money. You're probably saying "that's already happening." Yeah? Really? But what are you doing to stop it? Shhh…

text: Local detective agencies, sometimes called private investigation companies, can offer a wide variety of services. Depending on the needs of the client, certain detective agencies may be a better choice over others. Many local detective agencies will specialize in a specific form of investigations. For example, one detective agency may only perform matrimonial (cheating spouses) investigations while another may only offer financial investigations. These types of local detective agencies are often operated by a small team of investigators with specialized experience in the field which they are investigating. Other larger agencies may have the man power necessary to offer a wide range of investigative services. When shopping around for a local detective agency the client should be permitted to ask certain questions to decide if the particular agency is the best fit for their own personal needs. Asking to see a copy of the agencys license to practice is important. In many states, if a person hires an unlicensed private detective, the client may find themselves in a fair amount of legal trouble. Keep in mind that some states do not even require local detective agencies to be licensed. Another good question to ask your local detective agency is if they are insured and/or bonded. States will also vary on this requirement, but a private investigator who is insured and/or bonded in a state which doesn't require it shows a level of professionalism above those who are not. As always, asking the local detective agency for a list of references should always be done. Because of the confidential and sensitive nature of the work, many past clients may not want to be contacted as references, but any good private investigator should be able to produce at least a few names of past clients who wouldnt mind if you contact them for their opinions of the private detective. Professional references are also good because they can legitimize the investigators status and speak as to his or her experience and/or training.

WITH VIDEO Sheriff set on forensic bulking, synergy between communities in next term
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard was sworn in Tuesday for his fourth term as top lawman.
And over the next four years, the sheriff said he is looking to expand upon some of the county's law enforcement projects that have been long-term.
While he is in the process of swearing in more than 1,500 deputies across the county, he said a main focus of his office will be the bulking-up of the forensic science laboratory.
"It becomes very important when you talk about forensic evidence: How quick you can do it and what capabilities you have," he said Wednesday.
He said that although the Michigan State Police have a great crime lab and staff, they were hit hard when the Detroit Police Department closed its own in 2008.
"Now, all of the work from Detroit goes to the state," said the sheriff. "The state is pretty overwhelmed, and so, sometimes there's some pretty significant lags to getting certain evidence back — specifically DNA."
Quicker turnaround on forensic evidence really makes a big difference in crimes and that's why sharpening the county's crime lab is the next thing he'll actively pursue while working with the Michigan State Police, he said.
He added that ideally, the state police will "help train our people to be DNA analysts and technicians to operate right here."
His vision is — with the forensic training — every Oakland County agency will be able to give the sheriff's office cases they have on a priority basis, which will help with turnaround and with the state's workload. Continued...
Bouchard said he has reallocated resources in the past few years to position his office to add DNA analysis to the lab's repertoire, which includes chemical analysis, firearms analysis, fingerprint analysis and more.
"It's one of those unseen things, but it's very important," he said.
He gave the example of the I-96 corridor shootings that were reported in Oakland County.
"All of the forensic determination in terms of the firearm that linked the suspect to the nine different crimes was done right here in our crime lab."
He said that, frankly, the public expects forensic results because a lot of what they see on television isn't reality.
"It isn't quite that way in the real world," he said. "But juries have come to expect at least something out of the forensic side of the house."
That will be a bigger focus in his next term, he said — to be operational on the DNA side in the lab.
"Then we'll be a fully functional crime lab on virtually every major discipline," Bouchard said.
The sheriff's office is also working on expanding the technological link between criminal justice information in five counties, including Oakland, he said.
This system — Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System, CLEMIS — allows neighboring counties to share specific information about suspects of crimes, types of crimes, and more. Continued...
He noted that he was recently a "whisker's hair" from getting the Detroit Police Department in on CLEMIS.
Constant reorganization of management in Detroit has hindered him from doing so, however.
"It might be a jinx to talk CLEMIS," said the sheriff warily.
He added, however, that it would be great if Detroit joined the network.
"The synergy, the sharing of information directly, via CLEMIS, would be huge for (both) our agencies," said Bouchard.
If properly implemented, he said, it would allow Detroit's police department to redeploy 500 officers.
"That's part of (Oakland County's) success — we're a lean organization," he said.
While Bouchard's next four years are still ahead of him, he says there are three communities — and two fire departments — that are looking into joining the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
He said he can't say which regions are researching a partnership, but he said his office never seeks out any contracts; they listen when the individual communities say they are looking into joining the sheriff's office.
"If someone comes to us, we'll give them a price and let them decide," Bouchard said. Typically, he added, the sheriff's office is 20 percent cheaper. Continued...
However, "it's up to a local community," he said.
Bouchard was appointed as the county's sheriff in 1999, and was elected in 2000. He has held the job since then, being re-elected in 2004, 2008 and in this year's election.
He manages a budget of more than $141 million and oversees 1,200 employees.

Beautiful Dreamer
Phone: 256.536.3117
Website: http://www.renaissancetheatre.net/
The play is written by A. E. Elmore, Professor of Drama at Athens State University. The Huntsville performance will be previewed by the Gaylord Corporation, owner of the Grand Ole Opry, and by the Barter Theater of Virginia. Gaylord sponsored the original run of Lonesome Highway in the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and Barter sponsored another staging after its New York run.
Beautiful Dreamer: The Life of Stephen Foster, will be performed at the Renaissance Theatre from February 22-28 and March 1-3, 2013. Directed by Ron Harris with Musical Direction by Terry Jackson. Marianne Windham will choreograph the play.
Renaissance Theatre presents a brand new musical based on the short sad life of America's greatest songwriter, Stephen Foster, will star Jason Petty, who won the prestigious Off-Broadway award (The Obie) for his multiple-nominated creation of the role of Hank Williams in Lonesome Highway in 2003. Afterward Petty took the play for a successful run to the Schubert Theater on Broadway as well. The show is directed and designed by Ron Harris, with a beautiful set, costumes and of course, the music America loves.
Stephen Foster died an alcoholic in the Bowery at the age of 37 at the height of the Civil War in January, 1864. He was living a subsistence life in a combination grocery-liquor store, writing songs for his next drink. He died a gentle but broken man who had never made much money from writing America's most popular songs of his day, some of which have remained our most popular ever since. These include "Camptown Races," "Oh, Susannah," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Way Down upon the Swanee River," "Old Black Joe," "Beautiful Dreamer," and "I Dream of Jeanie." Some of Foster's greatest songs are almost forgotten today. These include "Nelly Bly," "Old Uncle Ned," "Nelly Was a Lady," and a stirring Civil War marching song called "We Are Coming, Father Abraham."

Red Hat implements interoperability on both tactical and strategic levels:
Strategic: Red Hat is committed to and contributes to the definition of open standards because systems conforming to those standards can work together.
Tactical: Applications running on dissimilar systems can use shared resources (for example, printers, files, and identity) either because they use a standard interface or because Red Hat provides a software bridge between those dissimilar systems.
Red Hat is committed to giving you the largest choice of applications.
Identity management
User identity management is a fundamental IT building block. Efficient corporate governance depends on a consistent identity across systems, and users become frustrated when they need multiple identities and passwords to do routine work.
Whether your primary repository of identity information is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) (or another identity manager) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux® or Active Directory in Microsoft Windows, either can be used to drive a single source of identity within your datacenter.

Vegan Family,
Looking back over the past year in blogging made me come to a conclusion: this blog is effectively over and has been for at least a year. Only 30 posts in 2012 (half the number from 2011), and none of particularly great. I have been especially negligent responding to the comments. I think it is time for this Vegan Dad to retire.
Like most retired dads I will most likely kick around the house grumbling about politics, the economy, and the kids who keep walking on my lawn. I may even, on occasion, do something useful. I will maintain the Facebook page which has put me in contact with so many amazing people, and which has been my outlet for non-food posting.
While I am sad to see the blog go, my non-blogging life is pretty busy. Four kids, three book projects, a wife in grad school, and community obligations don't leave much time or energy to be creative in the kitchen.
It has been an amazing journey and I want to thank you all for making it possible. A blog really isn't anything without the people who read it, comment on it, use it, and share it. Since September 2007 I posted 834 entries that resulted in 5,669,334 pageviews and 10,929 comments. 4628 people subscribe to the blog, and 11,593 people like the Facebook page. Not bad for a dad from North Bay.
While this blog is over, my commitment to veganism is not. I am glad that this blog has been an inspiration to vegans new and old, and I hope it will continue to serve as a resource in the future (I will leave it online so you can comb through the archives). Blogging forced me to expand my horizons and try new methods, flavours, and ingredients. May our culinary curiosity never be sated.
So, that's it for me kids. Take care of yourselves, and do no harm.
Vegan Dad

Back atop the college basketball mountain, Michigan looks comfortable wearing the crown.
With one under their belt as the AP No. 1, the newly-minted top team in the land has played its way to the pinnacle for the first time in over 20 years. The return to glory is reason to celebrate for a patient fanbase and an opportunity for the program to get a little extra— albeit well-deserved— buzz.
Though, big picture, it doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot in late January.
Make all the parallels you want to teams in Michigan's position at this time of the year; they're definitely plentiful. Kentucky was the No. 1 team in the country at this point last season before going on to win the national title. Throw in the fact that the last time the Wolverines held the No. 1 ranking, they went on to play for the National Championship. That's surely the tip of the iceberg.
But there are no banners going up at Crisler Center for what Michigan's done so far this season. Frankly, having that 'No. 1' next to their name at any point prior to the Big Ten tournament is little more than a well-earned perk.
The program's goal remains the same; contend for the conference championship and go from there. A No. 1 ranking in the polls was never a prerequisite.
"Our goal at Michigan is to be No. 1 in the Big Ten," Michigan coach John Beilein said after his team was named top dog Monday. "When you achieve that honor, you will have a chance at the National Championship. All through the year, polls will spark great interest among college basketball fans everywhere and that is always good.
"Our coaches and players, however, will remain focused on our goals of improving daily and competing for the championship within our conference."
Is Beilein downplaying Michigan's return to glory? Maybe.
And that's just the way it should be. Continued...
Regardless of where it ranks nationally, Michigan's approach to focusing on the conference championship does a lot of good for a team in its position. It should help alleviate the pressure of an otherwise overhyped and rather meaningless position given the time of year and should help keep the focus on each individual game in a very dangerous conference.
And should Michigan suffer a loss and lose that top spot at some point during the rest of the regular season— a highly likely possibility given their schedule down the stretch— it likely won't deter them from the goal they set from the beginning of the year.
Michigan's reign could very-well be short lived. Sure, they blasted Northwestern Wednesday at the Crisler Center, but the Wolverines' first real test comes Saturday. Michigan travels to Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. to take on No. 3 Indiana.
"We're looking forward to it, it's going to be a lot of hype," Trey Burke said Wednesday night of the looming matchup with the Hoosiers. "I know the guys are ready."
Just as Michigan fans shouldn't make more out of where their team is ranked right now, they ought not panic over a road loss to the Hoosiers. Though, beat Indiana on its home court, and the Wolverines would have the inside track to the Big Ten Championship; which is the prize they're really after.
At least for now.

When running SMP virtual machines, it is possible for one VCPU to be spinning on a spinlock, while the VCPU that holds the spinlock is not currently running, because the host scheduler preempted it to run something else. Both Intel and AMD CPUs have a feature that detects when a virtual CPU is spinning on a lock and will trap to the host. The current KVM code sleeps for a bit whenever that happens, which results in eg. a 64 VCPU Windows guest taking forever and a bit to boot up. This is because the VCPU holding the lock is actually running and not sleeping, so the pause is counter-productive. In other workloads a pause can also be counter-productive, with spinlock detection resulting in one guest giving up its CPU time to the others. Instead of spinning, it ends up simply not running much at all. This patch series aims to fix that, by having a VCPU that spins give the remainder of its timeslice to another VCPU in the same guest before yielding the CPU - one that is runnable but got preempted, hopefully the lock holder. v3: - more cleanups - change to Mike Galbraith's yield_to implementation - yield to spinning VCPUs, this seems to work better in some situations and has little downside potential v2: - make lots of cleanups and improvements suggested - do not implement timeslice scheduling or fairness stuff yet, since it is not entirely clear how to do that right (suggestions welcome) --
From: Mike Galbraith <email@example.com> Add a yield_to function to the scheduler code, allowing us to give enough of our timeslice to another thread to allow it to run and release whatever resource we need it to release.

At least I want. Ruby has GIL(giant interpreter lock). And giant lock naturally enforce an app to implement cooperative multithreading model. Therefore it has similar problem with your one. Python solved this issue by slowing lock mechanism (two pthread-cond wakeup each GIL releasing), but I don't want it. Also, If pthread_cond_signal() call sys_yield_to imlicitly, we can avoid almost Nehalem (and other P2P cache arch) lock unfairness problem. (probaby creating pthread_condattr_setautoyield_np or similar knob is good one) --
Often, the thread calling pthread_cond_signal() wants to continue executing, not yield. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function --
NAK NAK NAK, yield_to is utter crap, and the only reason kvm 'needs' it is because its wants to be utter crap (run unmodified guests). There is plenty of sane serialization primitives for userspace, fix your locking mess instead of pushing crap. The only reason I'm maybe half-way considering this is because its a pure in-kernel interface which we can 'fix' once unmodified guests aren't important anymore. --
If not pulled and this_rq() != task_rq(p), only assigning ->next could kick p onto its CPU? If not, how is the lock contention eased then? A few words to explain please. thanks --
/* * ask scheduler to compute the next for successfully kicking @p onto its CPU * what if p_rq is rt_class to do? */ next = pick_next_task(p_rq); if (next != p) p->se.vruntime = next->se.vruntime -1; deactivate_task(p_rq, p, 0); activate_task(p_rq, p, 0); if (rq == p_rq) schedule(); else resched_task(p_rq->curr); yield = 0; --
Wouldn't that break for FIFO and RR tasks? There's a reason all the scheduler folks wanted a per-class yield_to_task function :) -- All rights reversed --
Where is the yield_to callback in the patch for RT schedule class? If @p is RT, what could you do? Hillf
If the user chooses to overcommit the CPU with realtime tasks, the user cannot expect realtime response. For realtime, I have not implemented the yield_to callback at all because it would probably break realtime semantics and I assume people will not overcommit the CPU with realtime tasks anyway. I could see running a few realtime guests on a system, with the number of realtime VCPUs not exceeding the number of physical CPUs. -- All rights reversed --
Then it looks curr->sched_class != p->sched_class is not enough, and yield_to can not ease the lock contention in KVM in case where p->rq->curr is RT. --
RT guests are a pipe dream, you first need to get the hypervisor (kvm in this case) to be RT, which it isn't. Then you either need to very statically set-up the host and the guest scheduling constraints (not possible with RR/FIFO) or have a complete paravirt RT scheduler which communicates its requirements to the host. --
Even guest is not RT, you could not prevent it from being preempted by RT task which has nothing to do guests. --
Sure, but yield_to() being a NOP for RT tasks is perfectly fine. Pretty much all yield*() usage is a bug anyway. --
There's a limited use case. One host can have a few RT guests, say a host with 8 CPUs can have up to 6 or 7 RT VCPUs. Those guests get top priority. The host can then have some other, low priority, guests that scavenge remaining CPU time. In this case, no yield_to is required for RT guests, because they do not do overcommit. -- All rights reversed --
RT guests don't make sense, there's nowhere near enough infrastructure for that to work well. I'd argue that KVM running with RT priority is a bug. --
This definitely wants to be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and if it were possible I'd make it so only kvm.o could use it. It really sucks that kvm is a I'd simply bail if its not the same cgroup, who cares about that case The calling site already checks for same_thread_group(), we never even This only works by the grace that the caller checked p->se.on_rq. A I don't get this.. Why would you resched the remote cpu, surely you --
too I suppose. Target doesn't live here, preempt is still set/allowed, so we want the remote cpu to schedule. -Mike --
A couple questions. Do you have any numbers? If I were to, say, run a 256 CPU VM on my quad, would this help me get Does an Intel Q6600 have this trap gizmo (iow will this do anything at all for my little box if I were to try it out). -Mike --
First of all, you can't run 256 guests on x86 kvm. Second, you'll never see better performance when you overcommit. What this patchset does is reduce the degradation from utterly ridiculous to something manageable. This allows a host to deliver reasonable performance when overcommitted vcpus are actually used, but it's not a good idea to run 64 vcpus on a Likely not. Run http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=blob_plain;f=kvm/scripts/vmxcap;hb=HEAD, look for 'PAUSE-loop exiting'. I think the first processors to include them were the Nehalem-EXs, and Westmeres have them as well. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function --
Oh darn, need new box to get all the toys. Thanks. -Mike --
I meant a 256 vcpu guest. Certainly you can run 256 guests, you're I have a patchset somewhere that emulates pause-loop exiting by looking at rip during timer interrupts. Unfortunately timer interrupts are very rare compared to pause-loop exits, so it's not very helpful. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function --
Looks great. Assuming there are no objections, Mike, can you get 2/3 into a fast-forward-only branch of tip.git? I'll then merge it into kvm.git and apply 1/3 and 2/3. Since the merge window is about to open I'd like to merge this for 2.6.39 so it gets to stew a while in tip.git, kvm.git, and linux-next. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function --
Wrong guy. Fast-forward is Peter's department. -Mike --
Right, let me have a look, I put this thread on pause for a while, need to catch up. --

Join a safari to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve for close encounters with leopards, lions and birds of prey. Then get a big-city fix in Nairobi, a mix of modern skyscrapers, bustling markets and traditional cultural centres. Wind down on Mombasa's palm tree-fringed beaches and shop for antiques and local art in its Old Town. Then fly or take a ferry to car-free Lamu Island, home to Kenya's oldest Swahili settlement.
Relax in equatorial Kenya on the eastern coast of Africa, lapped by the Indian Ocean and punctuated by the mighty Rift Valley. Book a trip to Southern Kenya to spot lions and lemurs on a wildlife safari at the Masai Mara Game Reserve or the Tsavo National Park. From here, travel north-east to the cosmopolitan Kenyan capital, Nairobi. In northern Kenya, visit Lake Turkana, a huge desert lake with a volcanic island at its centre. Or explore the fertile Central Highlands, dominated by the 17,000-foot Mount Kenya, the country's highest mountain.
Start with Kenya's vibrant capital city and business centre, Nairobi. Colonial buildings jostle for space with glistening skyscrapers, including the Kenyatta International Conference Centre with its 30-storey round tower. Or relax in Kenya's second city of Mombasa, the coastal capital and beach resort hub. Lose yourself in its Old Town's labyrinth of winding lanes. Or visit the Fort Jesus built by the Portuguese in the 16th-century to guard the Old Port. You can learn about the centuries of battles here at the museum inside.
Take in Kenya's wilderness and wildlife on a safari to southern Kenya's Amboseli National Park, located in the shadow of Tanzania's snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Or spot lions and elephants in Tsavo National Park. You'll see rhinos and flamingos at Lake Nakuru, and migrating wildebeest in the Masai Mara Game Reserve during October. Meet the Turkana people near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, the Kikuyu in the foothills of Mount Kenya and the famous Masai tribes in the south. Explore Kenya's coast, a long stretch of white-sand beach with coral reefs to snorkel off shore. Take trips to islands in the Indian Ocean, including laidback Lamu Island, where you can ride a donkey to UNESCO-listed Lamu Town.

Some DeKalb residents told lawmakers the county cannot stand to have one more city.
"Let's be careful with this," said county resident James Wilson, about a movement to incorporate the Brookhaven community. "Because after a while East Lake is going to want a city, Kirkwood is going to want a city, [and] Panthersville is going to want a city. And then what's going to be left for the county? You're going to have a little four-block place here between these cities."
Although residents discussed the proposed transportation tax and changing DeKalb's form of government, among other subjects, the proposed cityhood of Brookhaven was one of the most-discussed topics during a town hall meeting with DeKalb's legislative delegation to the state's General Assembly.
John Steineken, a "50-year resident of DeKalb County by choice," said the county needs less, not more, cities.
"It's not going to do the county any good," Steineken said. "It's going to hurt it."
It was because of that possibility that Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D-83) said she pre-filed House Bill 672 in November which would require a two-year minimum period before a community could vote to incorporate.
Proponents of the proposed city are using a study by the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute to support their cause. According to the study, the proposed city is financially feasible and would be more advantageous than remaining unincorporated.
But that study, paid for by the non-profit, non-partisan Citizens for North DeKalb, does not consider the costs to Chamblee, Dunwoody and unincorporated DeKalb, Oliver said.
Resident John Stabler, who lives near the proposed borders of the city, said a new city would be "a redundant government entity" with "more possibility for government intrusion" into the lives of residents.
"The people who propose a city are self-appointed, they weren't elected, and the decisions they make about boundaries will affect people outside the boundaries who do not have a chance to vote on whether or not the boundaries are OK," Stabler said.
Elena Parent (D-81), who is studying the incorporation practices of other states, said she has concerns with Georgia's process.
"The current procedures seem wanting and they don't take into account any of the neighboring communities and the welfare of the county," Parent said.
Joel Alvarado, the county's legislative director, said the incorporation movement is part of a trend occurring in the state's larger counties. In 2008, Dunwoody was incorporated and in November a Gwinnett County community voted to form the city of Peachtree Corners.
"The issue of Brookhaven is not a uniquely DeKalb County issue," Alvarado said. Georgians need to address a philosophical question: "What do we want it to look like in the future? Do we want a balkanized region where we have all these little communities all competing against one another? We have to ask ourselves what direction we are going as a state."
Sen. Emmanuel Jones (D-10) had a simple opinion about the proposed Brookhaven: "I'm personally opposed to the formation of any more cities in DeKalb County."
