The Expanse is very likely the best science fiction show this decade, and somehow it seems to get better each season. I can't possibly hope to do justice to everything going on in it, but the writing, acting, direction, cinematography, effects, and other aspects are about as good as anything on television right now.
Overall, I'll cop to being way behind on my TV viewing, though. About 70% of my viewing is just late-night comedy these days. Another 10% is probably MSNBC. Recent scripted TV shows I've watched and enjoyed:
The Orville - I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. The jokes occasionally fall flat, but not all that often, and it's not as if jokes are really the point of this show anyway. Much as this was marketed as a parody of Star Trek, it's really more of a tribute with occasional jokes thrown in.
Star Trek: Discovery: Like the Abrams Trek films, this doesn't really feel like Star Trek, but also like the Abrams Trek films, it's still really enjoyable, helped out by a strong cast. I started off listing people I felt were highlights and then realised I had most of the cast listed. It's dark for Star Trek, but it still tells a compelling story, and somehow manages to bring itself back 'round to the idealistic side by the end of the season.
Instinct: This reminds me quite a bit of Castle, but without the romantic tension between the leads (obviously, since Alan Cumming's Dylan Reinhart is gay). It's actually kind of shocking to me that it took this long for an American network to make a scripted show with a gay lead character. To CBS' credit, they don't milk too much drama out of this; it's an important part of Reinhart's characterisation, but it's probably only about #7 from the top. Apart from this, it's a pretty standard police procedural, but it's fun, and sometimes that's just what I need.
Lost in Space: Was legitimately not expecting to like this as much as I do. I'm only about one and a half episodes into it so far, but it has a lot of heart to it. It seems to have kept the best aspects of both the original TV show and the film (both of which were not exactly great works of art, but still had redeeming features) while adding some new modern elements that work.
Bull - I think I might've given a cursory review of this when it premiered. It was... OK in its first season - enough that I watched it when it was in the queue, but I didn't feel bad about missing episodes. Michael Weatherly was the main reason to watch it at that point. It's gotten a lot better in its second season, to the point where I make it a point not to miss episodes anymore. The characterisation has gotten a lot stronger and the show now does a commendable job dramatising some serious issues with our legal system.
There are a few other long-runners I'm still watching - Modern Family, NCIS, etc. And there are several scripted shows I watch on my own that I'm... honestly way behind on. Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, The Blacklist, etc. For that matter, I'm also way behind on shows I watch with just one of my parents - Archer, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, etc. Notice that some of these have ended or been cancelled, and others haven't aired new episodes in months or longer. And this isn't a complete list of these.
Beyond that, there are plenty of other shows I want to watch but just haven't gotten around to. (In some cases it doesn't help that I don't have the networks that air them - usually Starz or Showtime.) Maybe I'll list some of these later.

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe happy man, nor make any celebration of joy."
-Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"
"I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to?
'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you"

Miss Me Yet?Monday, April 05, 2010
Alright readers, T minus 2 days until the big test! I randomly switch between panic attacks and just not giving a crap anymore. And while I am loathing all of this studying, I will say that I currently have the most complete body of knowledge regarding all things physical therapy now more than I have had at any other point of my education.
(I google image'd "stressed out" and this is what I got—random AND funny. What's wrong with James? That reminds me—remind me to tell you about the time I saw him in LA and my dad embarrassed the total mess out of me.)
From my anatomy to disease pathology to orthopedics and spinal to pediatric milestones to pharmacology and metabolic profiles to stroke and spinal cord injuries… I know it, baby. If you have a question, ask me now!
I'll quickly fill you in on a few fun things that happened over the weekend and other stuff I can't wait to blog about once I get my brain back from the PT gods.
First, He is risen indeed! My sister said it best, that Easter Sunday is always the greatest reminder of the hope that Jesus offers us beyond this earth. We went to an awesome service at our church with several of our friends and I had tears in my eyes through most of the worship… Tyler and I enjoyed a great brunch afterward sitting outside on the patio of The Carlyle (one of our faves). It was a beautiful day and a much needed break from my books.
Second, WE DID IT!! We finally booked our tickets to Italy!! Or actually, to Paris! We've been saving our airline miles for years in anticipation of this trip and we originally planned to have our tickets booked in DECEMBER and since we still hadn't done it, I was afraid we might not ever get it done. We had to do a bit of finagling and transferring with our separate miles accounts, but the tickets are BOOKED and that's all that matters. We're flying to Paris, spending a day or two there, and then taking the train down to Italy for two fabulous, sun-drenched, gelato-filled, look-at-all-this-culture weeks. Neither of us have been to Europe, so I'm anticipating a Griswald-esque comedy of errors, but I. Can't. Wait. Now that the tickets are booked, we can start all the real planning. So bring on the recommendations!
(If you could tell me where this is, that'd be great. Because I'd like to go.)
Not only am I a free woman starting Wednesday at high noon—that alone would leave me satisfied—but I have a fab weekend to look forward to. Friday I'm heading to St. Michael's, MD for a girl's weekend to celebrate a friend of mine who's getting married soon. St. Michael's is where they filmed Wedding Crasher's and though it's really close to us, I've never been up to Annapolis or the Eastern Shore. I'm excited to hang out on a dock with a glass of wine and lot of girls. Super. duper. excited.
I have to leave the weekend early though because Tyler and I are going to the "Grin Gala" on Saturday night to benefit Operation Smile, who are clients of Tyler's company. After a million and a half days in sweats and glasses, this girl can't wait to get all dolled up. [I smell a shopping trip….] The theme is the Roaring Twenties. Have I mentioned I've always had a secret desire to be a flapper? Because I have.
I also have a solo trip to Savannah planned at the end of the month. More on that later. Sheesh! Just writing all of that is making it hard to think about returning to my notes!
But I gotta do it. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day, so I'm headed outside while I hit the books. As always, thanks for checking in—hope y'all had a great Easter weekend.

Bank of America repeated a promise to reduce its inventory of delinquent mortgages by 300,000 in the next 12 months.
The bank, which reported quarterly earnings Wednesday, currently services about 1 million delinquent loans, thanks to its takeover of Countrywide Financial in 2008.
Bank of America is trying to modify troubled loans using principal reduction, but it's seeing surprisingly poor results.
As part of the $25 billion mortgage servicing settlement over so-called "robo-signing," it announced in May that it would begin sending out letters to borrowers, offering an average $150,000 reduction in their loan balances. Of the 60,000 that went out in the first mailing, more than half went unanswered.
"In the early going, the early response rate was lower than our expectations and our expectations were fairly modest on the program," said Bank of America spokesman Rick Simon. "We are somewhat concerned that people are not taking the offer seriously, or that people are just tired of the whole process. This is something we want them to look at because it's a much more streamlined process than HAMP [the government's Home Affordable Modification Program] and could be the one that is the real home saver for people."
Bank of America intends to send these offers to a total of 200,000 borrowers who are at least two months behind on their mortgage payments and owe more than their homes are worth. Loans that are owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not eligible.
The bank is sending out reminders every two weeks and is now making changes to the letters, trying to improve the response rate. Originally, the offer was to be extended for 45 days, but that, too, may be stretched in order to get more borrowers on board.
As for the promise to reduce the number of bad loans it services by 300,000, Simon said Bank of America is relying on other strategies as well, like selling off the bad loans to investors and transferring servicing to other companies. The number is also coming down because the inflow of bad loans is tapering off.
"The delinquency inflow has dropped as the economy seems to be getting a little bit better," Simon said. "For every loan remodified, we are down now to where loan delinquencies are dropping because there's no inflow."
Bank of America reported it set aside $1.8 billion in the second quarter of this year to cover bad loans. That's down 46 percent from a year ago and the lowest level since Q1 of 2007.

Dr. Drew Pinsky, who does not treat the couple, believes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are headed for an explosive split.
Tabloids like Star and In Touch have been attempting to convince us that Brad is likely to "storm out" of the relationship at any moment — if he hasn't already, about a hundred times. And yet! These two movie stars continue to appear ridiculously happy and very much together. It won't last, warns Dr. Drew.
Let's just let the good doctor explain in his own words:
Just add up a couple things. There's no such thing as 'I was a heroin addict.' That doesn't exist in nature. Something is going on with [her] addiction. Or she's in recovery. And I don't see any evidence that's the case. So we've got one person who's a heroin addict. Which is a chronic lifelong condition, period. We have another person who has said things like, "Well, Jennifer [Aniston] was into long-term relationships, that's just her way of looking at things." I mean, that demeaning attitude towards other people's emotions. Now put those two people together and you have got a really volatile situation. And they're constantly creating things to weld themselves together. Which is only going to serve to make a more nuclear eruption. There will be some sort of meltdown that will be phenomenal when it does happen.
There you have it! Prepare yourself for the catastrophic calamity that is surely to come.
Dr. Drew: Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Split Will Be "Nuclear" [Huffington Post]

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Applied Math
"Ancestral relatives of the Manhattan and the martini often follow this formula, and it's amazingly versatile."
Back in 5th grade, when my math teacher, Mr. Kimball, was trying to impress a bunch of 10-year-olds with all the essential and, he asserted, fascinating ways that math would play a role in our lives and careers, he probably didn't anticipate that one of those functions would be related to booze.
Mixing a good drink takes craft and attention, but it also requires a basic understanding of ratios and proportions. While you can always improvise your way into a half-decent gin and tonic or even a martini (assuming you don't mind a little variation in your drinks), cocktails that require more than a couple of ingredients typically follow common structural formulas that have been honed over time.
For example, sour-style, liqueur-sweetened cocktails such as margaritas and sidecars usually fall into a 2:1:1 or 3:2:1 ratio of spirits:liqueur:citrus, depending on how sweet or tart you prefer the result. Remember the particular formula that's to your liking and you can start swapping all kinds of things through to make different drinks: rum instead of brandy, apricot liqueur instead of Cointreau; while a little wiggle with the proportions may be required with some substitutions, as long as you follow the basic formula you can be assured that you'll wind up with something balanced.
In the April issue of Esquire, drinks correspondent David Wondrich offers another handy formula for creating cocktails on the fly--one that calls for two ounces of spirits, one ounce of a fortified wine, a teaspoon of liqueur and a dash or two of bitters. Ancestral relatives of the Manhattan and the martini often follow this formula, with excellent results, and best of all, it's amazingly versatile.
In addition to your standard players in the liquor aisle, you can introduce fortified wines ranging from port to sherry to vermouth to Madeira; while the wine-plus-spirit match may not be perfect, a little teaspoon of Cherry Heering or Chartreuse (or most any liqueur you can lay your hands on), along with a dose of bitters (Angostura is probably your most useful candidate here), tends to smooth everything out and make all the flavors get along.
I gave this formula a test drive over the weekend, matching silver tequila with oloroso sherry and cherry liqueur, and gin with sweet vermouth and a touch of elderflower liqueur. While some attempts were better than others, none of the drinks came out with a flavor that seemed crooked, and the formula held true through several runs.
Are there tried-and-true approaches you take when mixing up something new, either a formula you've developed yourself or an age-old ratio that you find still works well? Fill us in if you have one.

A secondary school in Denmark lets kids grow and cook their own food
Having a special focus on food and movement, the aim of this school is to help children live healthier lives
- February 09, 2019 10:00
- Olya Georgieva
Between Islands Brygge, the Port of Copenhagen and Amager Commons, New Islands Brygge School will be built, as a school where pupils grow and cook their own food. It is expected to be completed by May 2020, in time for the following school year, giving school employees and children time to transfer over. The school building will accommodate a total of 784 pupils covering around 10 000 square metres, with outdoor areas of 4000 square metres.
The school will be built entirely from sustainable materials and its compact form, effective climate screen and efficient duplicate use of functions will ensure low energy consumption on space heating. There will be solar panels in the rooftop gardens to provide an energy source for the school. The school will have an urban farm on the roof where students will grow vegetables in greenhouses and then use what they grow in cookery classes.
Since food is a key element of the school's identity, the dining hall will be the central room hall and a gathering point for student activities. Movement is another focus area for the school. This makes it important that the school's architecture encourages physical activity and play. The top part of the roof is the sports area, with ample opportunity for physical activity on the running track, in the parkour area, or in the enclosed ball pitch.

From DreamFactory
DreamFactory instances use Git, Composer, and Artisan (a component of Laravel) to move from one version to another. Typically, this is for upgrading, though you could use this procedure to move to older versions of the software as well.
New Instructions Available
In an effort to make the upgrade process easier we are providing the following system specific upgrade instructions
- Upgrading Bitnami Linux
- Upgrading Bitnami Windows
- Upgrading Bitnami Mac
- Upgrading Bitnami VMs (cloud and local)
- Upgrading Manual Install on Ubuntu 16.04
- Upgrading Manual Install on Mac OS X (10.11)
Important Notes (read before starting)
- Windows users need to have Git shell for these procedures, such as Git for Windows
- Install Directory
- References to Install Directory or {install directory} refer to the top level directory that houses the actual DreamFactory code.
- For manual installs this would be where you cloned the DreamFactory git repo, such as
- For Bitnami installs this is the htdocs folder within the Bitnami installation. Here are the default locations for each operating system, where x.x.x-x represents the version and release number.
- Unless otherwise noted all commands should be run from the install directory.
- Linux:
- Mac OS X:
- Windows:
- Linux:
- Permissions
- Bitnami Cloud images (AWS, Azure, etc.) need for commands to be run using sudo, since root owns all of the Bitnami installation directory
- If the new code writes over the storage or bootstrap directories, you'll likely need to reset permissions. Use the info below when doing Perform the Upgrade step #9. The proper permissions are
- For Bitnami Cloud images,
- For manual installs with Apache or Nginx
- Debain based distros,
www-data:{user who owns the parent directory}
- RHEL based distros,
apache:{user who owns the parent directory}
- Debain based distros,
- Bitnami local installers, this step shouldn't be necessary if you are performing the upgrade as the user who did the inital install.
- For Bitnami Cloud images,
- Commands that use the PHP executable can be completed two different ways depending on install type. For instance, if you are using the artisan migrate command. You will need to adjust the instructions below to fit your scenario.
- For manual installs and Bitnami CLOUD images, PHP should be installed as a system command. You simply call it by name:
$ php artisan migrate --seed
- For Bitnami LOCAL installs, you must put the full path to the PHP executable file. The defaults for each OS are:
- Linux:
$ ~/dreamfactory-x.x.x-x/php/bin/php artisan migrate --seed
- Mac OS X:
$ /Applications/dreamfactory-x.x.x-x/php/bin/php artisan migrate --seed
- Windows:
$ /c/Bitnami/dreamfactory-x.x.x-d/php/php artisan migrate --seed
- Linux:
- Composer
- Commands that user Composer can be completed two different ways depending on install type. For instance, if you are performing composer install. You will need to adjust the instructions below to fit your scenario.
- For manual installs, you likely installed composer as a system command:
$ composer install --no-dev
- For Bitnami installs, (or if you only installed the composer.phar file locally) you must use PHP to call composer:
$ php composer.phar install --no-dev
Perform a Backup
- Before upgrading or switching versions, you should make a backup of your environment.
- Backup Files
- In your shell, navigate to one level above the install directory.
- Make a copy of the install directory.
$ cp -r {install directory} {install directory}.backup
- In the unlikely event of a severe issue, you can restore this file backup.
- Backup Database
- Use your database tool of choice to make a complete backup of the database, such as phpMyAdmin, which comes packaged with the Bitnami installers.
- In the unlikely event of a severe issue, you can restore this database backup.
Perform the Upgrade
- Navigate to the install directory in your shell.
- Make sure you've checked out the appropriate git tag.
- If you're updating to the latest version, you'll checkout the master tag. If you're moving to a specific version number, you'll checkout that version number as the tag.
$ git checkout master
- If you have unsaved changes, you'll receive a message indicating which files have changes in them. You will need to stash the changes.
- You must do this step BEFORE checkout if you have made changes to or replaced any files in the main DreamFactory repo (such as changes to composer.json.)
$ git stash
- Repeat the checkout step.
- Pull the latest from git (again, using the appropriate tag -- master or version number).
$ git pull origin master
- Reset permission on storage/ and bootstrap/cache/
- Bitnami local installs can skip this step. Bitnami cloud images, VMs, and manual installs will typically need to perform this step.
$ sudo chown -R {web service user}:{your user group} storage/ bootstrap/cache/
$ sudo chmod -R 2775 storage/ bootstrap/cache/
- Use Composer to update all the vendor repos.
- Note for commercial users: Copy your commercial license files into the working directory before running this command.
$ composer install --no-dev
- Migrate the database.
$ php artisan migrate --seed
- RARE CASE: If upgrading from DreamFactory 2.0 or 2.1 to DreamFactory 2.2 or higher, migrate the old service types to the new ones (add the --pretend option to see what it will change).
$ php artisan dreamfactory:service-type-migrate
- Clear the application cache.
$ php artisan cache:clear
- If the code pull wrote over storage or bootstrap directories, reset permissions
$ sudo chown -R {web server user}:{directory owner} storage/ bootstrap/cache/
$ sudo chmod -R 2775 storage/ bootstrap/cache/
- Restart your web server process.
- For Bitnami local installs, use the Bitnami Manager app to restart Apache.
- For Bitnami cloud and VMs, use the control script.
$ sudo ../../../ctlscript.sh restart
- For manual installs, use your OS service management utility to restart Apache or PHP-FPM and Nginx (depending on which tool you're using).
It's possible that you may encounter some known issues when attempting to upgrade your instance. Below are a few known issues and how to fix them.
- When attempting to run
composer install --no-devor any other
php artisancommand you get an error similar to this one:
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with error code 1and
[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\CommandNotFoundException] Command "migrate" is not defined.
- Resolution
- Navigate to the install directory.
- Remove the compile cache and framework cache manually.
rm -rf bootstrap/cache/compiled.php storage/framework/cache/*
- Resume the upgrade process. Begin by running the composer install step again.
- When attempting to run
$ ../../../php/bin/php composer.phar self-updatecommand you get an error similar to this one:
[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]The "https://getcomposer.org/versions" file could not be downloaded: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
- "Resolution"
- Check your connection and give the network a few minutes before running the command again.
- "Resolution"

Happy 97th Birthday Girl Scouts!
Wow, it's hard to believe that the Girl Scouts of America are just 3 years away from celebrating their 100th birthday!
Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.
Within a few years, Daisy's dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of nearly four million girls and adults, a significant growth from its modest beginnings nearly a century ago. In fact, more than 50 million women in the U.S. today are Girl Scout alumnae. We invite you to learn about our robust organization and its rich history. From our willingness to tackle important societal issues, to our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness—Girl Scouts is dedicated to every girl, everywhere.
I can't tell you what Girl Scouts did for me growing up. While not a terrible childhood, it certainly wasn't picture perfect either. I give Girl Scouts a LOT of credit for giving me the ability to look back on my formitive years and to be able to say they weren't that bad. All my best memories growing up involved Girl Scouts, whether is was regular troop meetings, outings, council camping trips, or summer camp. Heck, I even spent the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 at a Girl Scout meeting! It's helped me to become the strong woman I am and I can't thank my leaders and other volunteers enough.
I'm sadly not in touch with them anymore, but in the off chance they ever do a Google search for their names… THANK YOU! Shirley Taylor, who was my leader from the time I was in Brownies until the day I graduated high school, was a huge influence and inspiration in my life, and I kick myself all the time for not keeping in better contact after going away to college. While in high school our troop was merged and co-lead by Deborah Kelly and her sister Pam (for the life of me I can't remember Pam's last name). They also helped to shape me as a young woman ready to go off into the world and I learned so much from them as well. I can only hope someone finds this and forwards it to them so Thank you so much from Trisha (Floyd) Fawver!

Historical Period:
The 18th Century
Adam Smith (1723-1790) is commonly regarded as the first modern economist with the publication in 1776 of The Wealth of Nations. He wrote in a wide range of disciplines: moral philosophy, jurisprudence, rhetoric and literature, and the history of science. He was one of the leading figures in the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith also studied the social forces giving rise to competition, trade, and markets. While professor of logic, and later professor of moral philosophy at Glasgow University, he also had the opportunity to travel to France, where he met François Quesnay and the physiocrats; he had friends in business and the government, and drew broadly on his observations of life as well as careful statistical work summarizing his findings in tabular form. He is viewed as the founder of modern economic thought, and his work inspires economists to this day. The economic phrase for which he is most famous, the "invisible hand" of economic incentives, was only one of his many contributions to the modern-day teaching of economics. [The image comes from "The Warren J. Samuels Portrait Collection at Duke University."]
It is with regret that we announce that, as of February 14, 2014, we are no longer able to host the Glasgow Edition of the Works and Correspondence of Adam Smith on the OLL website, as Oxford University Press will no longer grant us the electronic rights to do so. This edition of Smith was one of the first new titles we added to the OLL website after it went live to the public in March 2004 and it has been an important part of our collection ever since. Over the coming months we plan to replace as much as we can with other editions of his works.

My Review:
Susan May Warren has written another awesome book filled with romance. This book is the three book in the series A Christiansen Family. I haven't read the other two books but I was able to follow along just fine. I read the book during vacation on the beach and I loved how the setting of the book was placed in Hawaii. I enjoyed how relatable the characters were and how Max and Grace both avoided falling in love at all costs. They seemed to be too terrified to let someone in and let themselves to be loved. This is something I personally struggle with myself letting someone get close enough and perhaps even falling in love with them. Yes, love could end but it also could last! Very eye-opening messages! I also liked how the book had a Christian message that was spread throughout the novel.
My favorite character was Max Sharpe and I connected with how he held onto the guilt of accidentally injuring Owen and ending his hockey career. The book had a great lesson about dealing with the truth and forgiving yourself and others when they make mistakes. This book also touched on Max's family background and I liked how Susan described in details everything Max felt. Max didn't feel like he deserved happiness because of Huntington's disease that runs in his family. Max didn't want another person having to suffer from seeing him going through the effects of the disease. I loved how she intertwined this facet of the novel and I thought it prominently enhanced the character dramatics. I liked how she added a minor character, Raina to the storyline and her story portrayed the importance of choosing our actions carefully. I would have liked to see more of her story played out more in another novel. If you're looking for a romantic novel, then this one is for you!
"I received a review copy of When I Fall In Love from Litfuse for this review."
About the book:
Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she'd vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled-or maybe yanked-away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace's faith will face its toughest test yet.

The open source OpenStack cloud platform is out with its fifth major release today, delivering new features for clouds. OpenStack enjoys the support of more than 150 companies, including big names like Rackspace, Cisco, Dell, AT&T and HP, all of whom are building clouds with OpenStack technology.
The Essex release has a strong focus on cloud stability as a result of a release cycle change to allow for more quality assurance time. The OpenStack Diablo release came out in September 2011 after a six-month release cycle. With Essex, it was again a six-month release cycle, but the QA time was tripled and the feature freeze was moved to to six weeks before the release to allow extra time for stabilizing.
"We really expanded the QA cycle out in Essex to make thing solid and stable, coming out of this release cycle," Jonathan Bryce, chairman of the Project Policy Board for OpenStack told InternetNews.com. "As result, people have been much happier with the state of where things are."
Among the key innovations in the Essex release is the Horizon OpenStack Dashboard, which provides both administrator and self-service user functionality. The Essex release marks the first full integration of the Dashboard into the OpenStack project.
"As an administrator, you can log in and get the overall picture of your cloud and see the resources that are available and what has been provisioned," Bryce said. "Users can log into Dashboard to provision their own virtual machines, networking and block storage devices."
The Dashboard is also connected to the OpenStack Keystone Identity service which in the Essex release becomes the default identity engine for OpenStack. Keystone now provides authentication across the core OpenStack components.
OpenStack's core components include the Nova compute, Swift storage and Glance image service. Across those components the Essex release also introduces new security features. In Glance there is now the ability to protect an image, and Nova provides a more secure root wrapper. Swift object storage security now benefits with a new feature for expiring storage objects.
"The community is maturing and as we get enterprises that are serious about deploying OpenStack they are paying extra attention and effort to security," Bryce said.
One item that is not yet in the full OpenStack release is the Quantum networking project. Quantum became an incubated project as part of the Diablo release and is currently set for including in the Fall OpenStack release.
"One of the interesting challenges that lies ahead is as we see this massive proliferation of different OpenStack clouds, how the different clouds will connect together," Mark Collier Rackspace vice president of business & corporate development, told InternetNews.com. "You'll start to see an increased focus on making sure the different OpenStack clouds are all really compatible to empower users to move their workloads wherever it makes sense."
