The Arthurian Companion, Second Edition | |||||
Phyllis Ann Karr | |||||
Green Knight Publishing, 591 pages | |||||
A review by William Thompson
The author herself is a writer of fictional fantasy and romance, with a long bibliography of work, much of it
Arthurian-based. Her background of study is that of an enthusiastic amateur, not in itself damning, as
there is an abundant record of other gifted amateurs having contributed significantly to any variety of
fields. The difficulty here is that it readily becomes apparent that Ms. Karr is both out of date as
well as unaware of significant areas of Arthurian scholarship, nor are her methods always scholastically
rigorous. If, after a brief perusal of her sources, entries and especially her appendices, I,
considering myself at best an amateur in this field of study, find discrepancies and errors in presentation
and analysis, real scholars will certainly raise their eyes from dusty study, shouting loudly foul.
The first indication of trouble starts in the preface, "About the Text." The author honestly
admits that the Companion is "selective rather than exhaustive," by implication a work
more popularizing than comprehensive or academic, its selections personal and idiosyncratic, nor
necessarily established, as in the case of geographical localities, upon archaeological evidence, with
the book's information more textually based than contextually supported by scientific or historical
research or evidence. More importantly, however, the immediate problem announced in the
preface regards the author's choice of primary source material. As Mallory comprises the bulk
of the text's reference, supplemented primarily by Chrètien de Troyes' earlier Arthurian Romances,
the 8-volume Vulgate Version, and the various stories surrounding Gawaine exploits,
especially those by the Gawaine Poet, the author's selection of A.W.
Pollard's printing of Mallory, based upon the Caxton edition, alerts anyone familiar with recent
Arthurian scholarship of an obvious problem. As Mallory's publisher, Caxton is to be
applauded for bringing this work to the public; but it has long been recognized that in doing so he took
great liberties in editing Mallory's original material to suit what he felt were the tastes of the
late 15th-century audience. Since the subsequent discovery in 1934 of the Winchester Manuscript,
most scholars have come to conclude that this document represents a truer version of Mallory's
original, absent Caxton's elisions and amendments, and today editions based upon this manuscript,
or those drawing from both, are considered more authentic -- with Eugene Vinaver's edition generally
regarded as the most authoritative.
That Ms. Karr has chosen to continue to use the
Caxton version raises questions as to her familiarity with contemporary Arthurian scholarship. It also presents the reader who selects one of the more reliable editions of Mallory's work with
a problem regarding the use of the Arthurian Companion, since all the entries' book and
chapter notations are based upon Caxton rather than Vinaver or one of the other Winchester Manuscript
editions. This automatically places a limitation upon its usefulness.
Additionally, in the foreword as well as the appendices, the author admits to only recent familiarity
with the work of Chrètien. This becomes glaringly apparent, along with the author's unfamiliarity
with other elements of recent literary criticism for the period, in certain of her entries, as well
as her comments directed towards Chrètien's work in the appendices. Nowhere in the book is any
mention made of the fundamental concept of "courtly space." Had the author been aware
of this concept and its relationship to the structuring and storyline of Chrètien's narratives, she
would not have misapprehended the role of dwarves within the romances, instead recognizing their
appearance as an intrusion and disruption of the values and aesthetics associated with the
idealized world of the courtly. This would have prevented Ms. Karr from inaccurately
extrapolating an entirely pedestrian role in the narratives that ignores their essentially symbolic
and allegorical function.
A greater appreciation of literary scholarship in this area might
also, more importantly, have avoided the unfortunate and laughable, if not funny, associations the
author draws between Chrètien and comics, calling them "the Looney Toons cartoons
of the day," finding "Chrètien's romances primarily comical," or suggesting
that "Perhaps the best way to translate the spirit of his romances for us moderns would be to
make them into comic books or animated cartoon features." I won't even get into the
author's literary justifications of Disney's Goofy King Arthur. All I can say
is that while scholars have a reputation for non-violence, were I the author, I would avoid attending
in future any academic medieval seminars!
The author's willingness to venture conclusions
and extrapolations based upon apparent misapprehension or lack of information,
even though her analysis of Chrètien's work, aside from her own reading of it, is based admittedly
upon only "a mere smattering of books and footnote references," plagues many of the other
entries. This leads to unsubstantiated or incorrect assumptions, such as that "a noncombatant would
have had a certain ambassadorial immunity as messenger, which a knight would not want to have,"
offered up as evidence for why knights are little used as messengers in Mallory, or that "events
of obviously mystical origin... would probably be beyond the reach of a simple necromancer, even one
as great as Merlin or Morgan." While such conclusions may make sense to the author, they
are purely speculative, without actual evidential basis provided by the texts themselves.
the author's apparent lack of historical background leads also to inaccurate conclusions, such as her
failure to recognize the dishonour attending Lancelot's riding in a cart being due to the latter's
historical association as a conveyance for criminals to execution. Identically, elsewhere the
author, while recognizing anachronisms in Mallory's writing, on the same page (528) fails to
identify the "white monks" as Cistercians. This identification, along with their associations
and support of the Templars, is particularly important in any reading or understanding of the Grail quest.
This predilection to base assumptions upon little other than a personalized reading of the text often
leads the author to interpretations that greatly undermine the credibility of this work as a
reference. Similar is a yielding to personal values in deciding what and what not to
include. In the case of Perlesvaus, held by some scholars to be an essential work
of Arthurian literature and Grail study, as well as a sequel to that of Chrètien's, this work is
refused inclusion due to its brutal and grim portrayal of the medieval Arthurian world, a depiction
some historians might find far more faithful to the historical period than the idealized, fanciful
and courtly aesthetics of Chrètien. Perlesvaus is described by the author as a "monstrous piece,"
a "vile thing" "tainted with such deplorable vibes... I would not suffer it to remain
in my house." The author's selective and idiosyncratic approach here reveals itself to be
predicated more upon her own personal valuations of Arthurian literature, her preferences implicitly
biased rather than an attempt to provide the balanced approach one should expect of a scholar, and
which should be anticipated in such a reference, regardless of its popularization or limitations in
While I will not state this work is without value in terms of offering the casual reader a spot
reference for the reading of Mallory or Chrètien de Troyes, especially when cursorily looking up
characters, place names or events, I hesitate to recommend it. I myself will certainly keep
this volume, turning to it from time to time as a quick reference. Nor do I believe this work
was written or intended for the true scholar. Yet, for this very reason as a reference this
work remains unsettling, and for the average reader ample caution must be applied when reading any
entry not directly verifiable or supported by the actual texts. The explanatory comments and
observations in particular may be regarded as suspect. For that reason alone, if not more: caveat emptor.
William Thompson is a writer of speculative fiction, as yet unpublished, although he remains hopeful. In addition to pursuing his writing, he is in the degree program in information science at Indiana University. |

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A Brief Chapter of my Life by Dana Reinhardt is a young adult about the life of a teenaged girl named Simone Turner Bloom. Simone Turner Bloom is a girl who was left by her parents to be adopted at a young age. Throughout her life she knew she was adopted. She has a few great friends, and is living a pretty good life. The main problem with the book was that I could not connect with the characters. In the first part of the book, there is underage drug use, which I am highly against as a whole, partying, and drinking. The use and talk of it all threw me off, and discouraged me from reading the story further. From what I did read, the Dana Reinhardt went into good detail about Simone. She talked about what she was going in school, gave backstory and information on her and her friends, and described details on the people around her. It allowed me to envision what was going on, even if I didn't like what was happening in the story. Even when Simone is puking in a bush, Dana Reinhardt tries to write it in a way so the reader can understand everything that is happening. Overall, though the there is good in A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life, the bad shines over it, and takes away from the book. I've been reading many YA books these days and, while I've enjoyed a good many of them, few have really inspired me. A Brief Chapter in my Impossible Life by Dana Reinhardt changed that pattern, and left me feeling truly happy and fulfilled...I would even go so far as to say that it filled me with a kind of peace. It's a simple story about a Simone, teenage girl whose life is interrupted when she is given the opportunity to meet the woman who gave her up for adoption, 16 years earlier. As a liberal, avowed atheist, Simone is surprised to learn that her mother came from an orthodox Jewish family. The two meet and forge a quick bond, prompting Simone to re-examine what she thought she knew about herself, her family, and the idea of a spiritual life. Reinhardt managed to write a truly feel good story without being preachy or sentimental, and she writes Simone's voice with such a familiar, warm quality. I wanted the story to go on and on. Achingly realistic, beautifully told story of a young woman who meets her birthmother under difficult circumstances. A very promising debut novel from Reinhardt. Deft characterization, tight plotting, and an interesting, multi-layered story about love, adoption, religion and family. I loved the book with all my heart. The CD is nearly as good. Whichever way you prefer, I recommend this one. A junior girl in a Boston area high school dramatically bemoans the daily events in her life, and she believes her life is tough until her birth mother re-enters her life, which sets in motion several plot twists, such as dating, love, and dying. no reviews | add a review

Special Report
Journey into the Heart of Darkness
When my colleague, Wahyudi Soeriaatmadja, and I checked in for our flight to Poso, the woman behind the counter asked why.
"It's dangerous over there right now," she said.
I hesitated just a moment, then a sense of excitement took over as we headed out to visit a terrorist camp discovered just days before.
Since late August, this sleepy coastal town of 220,000 has woken up in terror. Militants murdered two policemen, shot dead one resident and injured three others, including two policemen, when a bomb went off at a police post. Handmade bombs were also discovered by residents elsewhere around the regency.

Simon Property Group's unsolicited $10 billion offer for General Growth Properties is likely to be just an opening bid, if Simon wins the portfolio at all. GGP's initial response was less than enthusiastic: CEO Adam Metz responded in a letter that the offer was not enough to stop the company from exploring other options or buyers. "Simon has serious competition for General Growth," says Stifel Nicolaus analyst David Fick in a research note, citing improved credit market liquidity, recent mall sales and GGP's restructuring of $8.9 billion of secured debt. Likely contenders for the company include Vornado Realty Trust and Brookfield Asset Management.

Long dominating cycles and paths in graphs with large neighborhood unions
Broersma, H.J. and Veldman, H.J. (1991) Long dominating cycles and paths in graphs with large neighborhood unions. Journal of Graph Theory, 15 (1). pp. 29-38. ISSN 0364-9024
408kB |
Abstract: | Let G be a graph of order n and define NC(G) = min. A cycle C of G is called a dominating cycle or D-cycle if V(G) - V(C) is an independent set. A D-path is defined analogously. The following result is proved: if G is 2-connected and contains a D-cycle, then G contains a D-cycle of length at least min unless G is the Petersen graph. By combining this result with a known sufficient condition for the existence of a D-cycle, a common generalization of Ore's Theorem and several recent neighborhood union results is obtained. An analogous result on long D-paths is also established. |

Bedtime can be one of the most stressful times we experience as Parents.
For some reason, our children are designed to RESIST sleep at a time when WE need sleep the MOST! (#LifeIsUnfair)
So, we end up in a struggle with them, which leads to yelling, punishing, stress and exhaustion.
Not the best way to end an already tiring day!
I can totally relate. My oldest, Jelly Bean, is a TERRIBLE sleeper! She has always taken three hours to nap and three hours to go to sleep at bedtime. :'(
I endured two more pregnancies sitting by her bedside trying to entice her into a quiet sleep, only to have her wake up about every 90 minutes yelling for me to stay with her! By the time I was at the end of my third pregnancy, I was sure that I was either going to kill my child or kill myself! I was spiraling towards a depression caused by sleep deprivation.
I was new to the idea of using essential oils, having just learned about them at a homeschool convention. But, one thing I knew was that aromatherapy could change a person's mood, just like music. I figured I would take a shot at using essential oils at bedtime to see if I could get my daughter to sleep more quickly and easily.
Well, the effect was dramatic! Not only is my child more peaceful, but she LOVES the smell of the oils! She requests them when I forget. I now use them on my 2 and 3 year old and they go to sleep as happy campers!
Here are just 3 oils I use to EFFECTIVELY put my kids to bed*:
1. Peace & Calming:
Rub one drop on the bottom of the feet to soothe, calm, relax and enhance a sense of peace over the body.
2. Lavender:
Put one drop on the bed-sheets or the pillows so that your child can inhale its fragrance and settle down. I also use a Diffuser to fill the room with its scent.
3. Valor:
One drop rubbed on the base of the spine to harmonize and align the balance in the body.
*May need to be diluted 1:1 with a carrier oil, such as coconut, olive or V-6.
And guess what? These oils are NOT JUST FOR KIDS! Moms, Dads, Grandparents or any caregiver can use these oils! In fact, Mom - if you're as sleep-deprived or stressed as I was (and still am since I have an infant!), I highly recommend you use them on yourself!
Here's a BONUS oil for you, Mom:
You're welcome! ^_^
Would like to see how powerfully these oils can work for you and your kids?
Or, are you o.k. with the day-to-day fighting and tears?
You can end the struggle NOW.
You can get all 3 oils (Lavender, Peace and Calming, and Valor), plus Stress Away, AND a Diffuser to start using them all IMMEDIATELY, by simply purchasing the PREMIUM STARTER KIT.

Thank you to all all those who remember the LFA series after such a long time and everyone else who watched it.
Also special thanks to NG and Tom for putting this on the front page.
- -
The Little Fighters are on their way to face one of their greatest adversaries, Firen.
After almost 3 years of waiting, the long awaited Little Fighter Alpha series continues.
In Chapter 7 Bat gets killed in an epic battle against Louis Ex and his army. In the previous chapter, the newly formed group of Little Fighters fought against Freeze, believing that they have defeated him.
*In this chapter, Woody, Henry and a group of monks go in search for Firen, one of their most dangerous adversaries. A great and epic battle will occur, along with a twist.*
I would recommend that you watch all the previous chapters before watching this; otherwise you won't get what is going on, and won't have as great of an experience. Even if you don't watch the previous chapters you can still enjoy the great fight scenes that made this series a big hit.
Please leave a review. I'll respond to all your reviews! All reviews are greatly appreciated. Feel free to leave any suggestions on how we can make greater improvements for the next chapter.
*Chapter 10 is in process, and is scheduled to be released by the end of summer.*
Thanks for watching.
-MaxR & Anzrage
Dude, that was amazing.
And it was about time to for the Little Fighter to came back to Newgrounds.
Thanks, I'm glad you found this chapter!
Cool little effects and great fluid fighting!
As soon as I watched it though it reminded me of Dragon Ball Z.
Thanks, I think the creator of the sprites had much DBZ influence in them too.
way better
wow i just watched from #1 all the way thro, and i have to say it got much better as it went, i love the story and now i love the combat. I hope to see more, even after you finish the LF series.
Thank you for taking the time in watching this series from the start, this chapter makes more sense if you do. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I will finish this series for sure!
Can't beleive this series is back!!!!
Love this one, hows a great evolution in the fighting scenes!
Next one try to be faster please!
Thanks, yeah the next chapter shouldn't take too long to release, so don't worry!

Entrapment fears rise with corn storage
Among the inherent dangers of farming, working in or around grain bins and gravity boxes remains near the top of the list. In a matter of seconds, a farmer can become trapped in grain, unable to move and breathe. Suffocation usually follows.That was the case in Elkton earlier this spring. Roy Clark, 77, of Elkton, climbed into a grain bin and, according to Brookings County Assistant Sheriff Scott Sebring, was buried in corn.
Among the inherent dangers of farming, working in or around grain bins and gravity boxes remains near the top of the list. In a matter of seconds, a farmer can become trapped in grain, unable to move and breathe. Suffocation usually follows.
That was the case in Elkton earlier this spring. Roy Clark, 77, of Elkton, climbed into a grain bin and, according to Brookings County Assistant Sheriff Scott Sebring, was buried in corn.
"Emergency workers punched holes in the side of the grain bin to let the corn out and went down in the bin through the top," Sebring said, but it was too late. Clark died in the grain bin due to suffocation.
This past Wednesday in Zachow, Wis., an employee at Sorenson Grain fell into a grain bin and was found four hours later when he was pronounced dead. Firefighters gained access to the bin by cutting holes in the side.
Incidents such as these were researched by Bill Field and Matt Roberts of Purdue University, West Layfatette, Ind., for a report issued in March. Since 1964, the report said, there have been 800 recorded cases of entrapment in the United States and Canada. Of those, 12 were in South Dakota, compared to 119 in Indiana, 99 in Iowa, 63 in Nebraska, 59 in Minnesota and 14 in North Dakota.
Field said the numbers are partly a reflection of each state's data collection efforts. He also said it is interesting to note the two states with the most recorded entrapments are also the first and second states, respectively, in the Midwest in terms of onfarm grain storage capacity.
Another factor is that the domestic corn demand for ethanol has resulted in the largest buildup of storage capacity across the Midwest in history, according to Field.
"This will result in more corn being stored for longer periods of time than in past years and possibly an increased potential for grain entrapments unless there is a change in current work practices," Field wrote.
According to the research, the leading cause of entrapment was spoiled grain.
During a record crop year, such as 2009, when grain is harvested in less than ideal conditions, it can result in more reports of out-ofcondition or spoiled grain in storage and increased probability of a plugged flow when unloading bins. It is then, when a farmer enters the bin to unclog the flow of grain, that entrapment can occur.
"The record 2009 crop should be a reason to celebrate and not the cause for tragedy and sorrow," Field wrote.
Mitchell Assistant Fire Chief Paul Morris recalls responding to an entrapment call near Mount Vernon where the victim suffocated. Morris noted that brain injury starts after three minutes without breathing. That fact, combined with the speed of an entrapment, is often a deadly combination. Morris said the fire department has entrapment training planned for this fall.
Another way that entrapment can occur is when there is a bridge — a hollow space under the surface of a pile of corn — creating a falsefloor effect. If the corn is then stepped on, the bridge can give out and, like quicksand, a person can become trapped in a matter of 10 to 15 seconds.
Farmer's Alliance general manager Jim Morken, of Mitchell, recently attended grain entrapment training in Gettysburg and was surprised at how quickly entrapment can occur. During the training, attendees were lowered into grain in a controlled environment using a harness system.
"It surprised me. Once the grain gets over your knees, you really are not able to free yourself — you're trapped," Morken said. "I thought it had to be a lot higher."
Morken and other experts say that many accidents could be prevented if certain procedures are put into practice. Since many of the entrapment cases happen on the family farm, Morken said people should never enter a grain bin alone and never enter a grain bin when the auger, or grain removal system, is running.
"The key is awareness," Morken said. "Just don't get yourself into a situation where you can become trapped."
Grain does not need to be over the head to get people into trouble, experts remind. When grain is up to the chest, it can be just as dangerous, according to Tom Slattery, of Sioux Falls, the manager of occupational safety and health for the South Dakota Safety Council.
"If you are engulfed anywhere from the waist up, once you exhale and deflate your lungs, that grain fills in (where your lungs were) and then you can asphyxiate," he said.
Slattery said it would be ideal to tell farmers to never go in their bins, but that's ignoring the reality that the practice does happen. He advises farmers to have someone there with them who they can call for help, possibly using a rope.

Biased Media's Rope Line Hypocrisy
Reporters from the national press covering the Mitt Romney campaign kicked up a ruckus on Wednesday when the Republican's staff attempted to keep them away from a rope line where they might have heard or seen the candidate say or do something dumb. The incident inspired a feature in the New York Times in which the GOP standard-bearer came off looking like a fragile hothouse flower desperately in need of protection from a press corps that could unveil his inadequacies. This might not be worth much of the public's time, but criticism on this score shouldn't be put down as unfair. If Romney can't be relied upon not to commit a gaffe when interacting with the public at unscripted appearances — something that justified his staff's worries — then he deserves to be called to account for it. However, if this is worth carrying on about when it concerns Romney then we are entitled to ask why isn't it newsworthy when his opponents play the same game?
That's the question some political observers are asking today after members of the Obama campaign made sure to keep reporters away from Vice President Biden when he was working a rope line, an incident that failed to get a mention in the Times. But as much as the lack of interest in the Democrats' desire to protect the even more gaffe-prone Biden is the fact that no one seems to recall that when Barack Obama was running for president in 2008, his control freak staff rarely allowed reporters anywhere near him when he was on the hustings.

[CP] Time flies
Dear citizens of Switzerland,
this is my last message to you as your President (for now ). A month has gone by quickly and when I reflect back on the promises I made, I'm happy with the results. We have achieved our goals for this mandate. Switzerland has made a great progress in CoT, having Military Commander and the Supreme Commander the same month and it is my pleasure to see it was an important month and everything in the alliance went according to plan.
Especially I would like to thank:
- Hoffman12 for being one of the most active MoFAs over the past few months and writing great articles;
- plasmakp, for being a good successor of mine in the MoD department;
- Trogdorthetroll100, for great work as DoE and making it work like a charm even with a small amount of people;
- and last but not least Lotus Black, for all the time and efforts spent on CoT this month.
I hope you will think back on my mandate as one of the successful ones and that it was a remarkable one in swiss history.
I cannot stress enough, that it is important, now more than ever, that we stand together and fight. To be united. Therefore I give my full support to our united candidate, who has always been there for Switzerland. The official watchdog for many months, that has decided to fight in the front lines once more. All my support goes to Rican for the next CP of Switzerland!
Thank you Switzerland!

Hi Mala,
Yes, FoxyProxy for SeaMonkey is close at hand. It needs a little more work and then it is finished. Expect it soon. -------------------- |

Forecasters urge New Mexicans to heed caution as wind advisories remain in effect from Saturday night into Sunday night, bringing blowing dust and fire dangers to most areas of the state.
Today, the state saw a little bit of every season.
Dust in the air and wind in your hair... the metro got a big dose of Mother Nature's fury with gusts up to 58 in Albuquerque.
Strong winds knocked a tree into a home near 10th and Lead, and in Roswell, a tree landed on a van driving by, cracking the windshield. No one was seriously hurt.
The highest recorded wind gusts of the day was 90 mph in San Augustin. Winds reached 71 mph in White Sands, 66 in Las Vegas, N.M., and 63 in Carrizozo.
Gallup got the most wintry surprise with a dusting of snow and 35 degree temperatures.

Surfing isn't really like snowboarding at all
a great article, check it out.

I agree... I live in cocoa beach and have been surfing for 19 years. when I started snowboarding 5 years ago, I thought it would be a very easy transition. it wasn't. the it only feels like surfing to me when I've been carving in deep pow - it feels like riding a longboard. both are wicked fun.

I tried the surfing thing for a while, but fucking south Florida lacks waves so eventually i got stopped going. In addition to that the only time that we got good swells was during the winter and you would freeze your ass in that water.
I rather be snowboarding..... |

Yeah, I surfed for a few days in Costa Rica a while back and it was nothing like snowboarding, but I can't imagine what it would be like to get smashed into a reef by a wave...plus I've never thought of drowning while boarding.

Hahaha! Pretty much a rude awakening for some. Learning the fundamentals of snowboarding is going to be very different than surfing. Riding on top of hardpack vs being in the water. It really isn't the same. Once you can get into deep powder, it becomes more like surfing. Still not the same, but the flow, turning, and such is much more surf related than it is when riding groomers.

US 7596110 B2 Abstract A router providing selective routing depending on traffic direction. The router includes two IP interfaces, where each IP interface is associated with a respective virtual private network. The router uses two forwarding tables. The first forwarding table routes traffic towards a first IP interface and a second forwarding table is capable of simultaneously routing traffic in the opposite direction, away from the first IP interface. The first IP interface is coupled to a first tunnel which provides bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations. The second IP interface is coupled to a second tunnel providing bi-directional connectivity to a corporate network. The router also includes a third interface which provides bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations. The router routes traffic through the second interface in the event that a mobile station on one interface is communicating with a mobile station on the third interface.
Claims(7) 1. A router, comprising:
at least two IP interfaces, wherein each IP interface is associated with a respective virtual local area network;
at least two forwarding tables, wherein a first of said forwarding tables is used for routing traffic towards a first of said IP interfaces, and a second of said forwarding tables is used for routing traffic from the first IP interface, wherein the two forwarding tables together allow bi-directional traffic from the same first IP interface;
wherein the first IP interface is coupled to a first tunnel providing bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations and a second IP interface of said IP interfaces is coupled to a second tunnel providing bi-directional connectivity to a corporate network; and,
wherein a third interface provides bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations, and wherein the router routes the traffic via the second IP interface in the event that a mobile station on the first IP interface is communicating with a mobile station on the third interface.

Description The invention relates to the technical field of TCP/IP routing and forwarding and relates especially to concepts within virtual private networks (VPNs). The main applications for the invention are IP routers with high VPN scalability demands, such as the GGSN (Gateway GPRS Switching Node) in GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) networks. The invention relates to WPP 5.0 (Wireless Packet Platform). A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an extension to a network that is remotely administrated. This network is carried over the local network via tunneling, either in protocols that either can be IP based or not IP based (for example ATM). When extending these networks into mobile packet data networks, a single node must handle a large number of VPNs. This implicates that the management and configuration of all these extensions to the VPNs has to be managed by the operator managing the mobile packet network. In for example GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), the GGSN (Gateway GPRS Switching Node) connects the mobile network to the remotely administrated network. One known solution is based on an implementation of packet filtering doing packet forwarding. By defining a packet filter that forwards all traffic from one interface or tunnel to another interface or tunnel, the routing information in the forwarding table will not be considered and the traffic can be forced to a remote network. Another known WPP solution to the problem is to directly map traffic from one interface/tunnel into another interface or tunnel, without making a forwarding decision based on the destination IP address. This known solution is called APN (Access Point Name) Routing. The disadvantage with the above solutions is poor redundancy, since the packet filters (or mapping table) are not dynamically updated and the interface or tunnel that the packets are forwarded to might be unavailable due to link or network problems. Likewise interfaces�IP_IF3�and IP_IF4 are mapped to Ethernet interface ETH_IF2 of node B. IP interfaces IP_IF5 and IP_IF6 is mapped to ETH_IF2 on router RT. IP_IF1 of node A forms a first virtual private network VPN_1 with IP_IF3 of node B. IP_IF4 of node B forms a second virtual private network VPN_2 with IP_IF6 of router RT. IP Packets may be communicated between the respective IP interfaces over the respective VPN's. To the various IP interfaces of each respective VPN it appears that the Ethernet segment is exclusive. In It is first object of the invention to set forth a router that allows for selective routing depending on traffic direction. It is a secondary object to set forth a router that allows for communication between various private networks. It is a third object to set forth a system allowing for forced traffic over a specific interface. It is a fourth object to set forth a system in which packet control is deferred to a corporate network. According to a further aspect of the invention, in order to increase the security in a VPN network it is desired that all traffic (i.e. IP packets) from mobile terminals always shall go via the home network. This gives the VPN administrator the possibility to specify the packet filtering rules to be applied both for traffic destined to a mobile terminal, as well as for traffic coming from a mobile terminal. This is independent of whether the packets are destined to the same mobile network extension as the packet originated from, or not. Without forcing traffic to the home network, the packet filtering rules would have to be configured by the operator of the mobile extension to the VPN network instead of the administrator of the home network. Further advantages of the invention will appear from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention. According to the invention, multiple VRF's (VPN Routing/Forwarding instances) are used per IP interface. An IP interface can for example be a bi-directional IP-in-IP tunnel or an IP-over-Ethernet interface. The forwarding table that is used to route traffic from a given interface may not route traffic to the same IP interface. This distinction makes it possible to let traffic in one direction belong to one VRF and traffic in the other direction belong to another VRF. Furthermore, if the interface has multiple peers, each peer end-point can belong to different VRF's. As indicated by the arrows, forwarding table VRF_1 routes packets form IP interface IP_IF3 to IP interface IP_IF1 and IP_IF2 depending on which mobile station the given packet is intended for. Forwarding table VRF_2 route packets from source MS_A and MS_B to IP interface IP_IF3 and further to the VPN access net. Thereby, the traffic between mobile stations MS_A and MS_B can be controlled by the VPN access net. A node A connects to the router via virtual local area network VLAN1 and a node B connects to the router via virtual local network VLAN2 over the common Ethernet segment ETH_S. A second router R comprising forwarding table VRF_T connects VLAN3 over the common Ethernet segment ETH_S. The second router also connects to the Internet. Forwarding tables VRF_1 defines for destination A a next hop of IP interface IP_IF1 and for destination node B IP interface IF2. Forwarding tables VRF_2 defines interface IP_IF3 as default next hop address. Forwarding table�VRF_T�defines IP interface IPIF_3 for both destinations A and B. A packet sent from mobile station A to B is forwarded along arrow 10 through IP interface IPIF_1 to forwarding table VRF_2 and further on to IP interface IPIF_3 to router R, arrow 20, and back again to IP interface IPIF_3 and to forwarding table VRF_1. Forwarding table VRF_1 defines IP interface IPIF_2 as next hop for destination B, and consequently the packet is transmitted to node B along arrow 30. The router is being configured such that in the event that a mobile station on one interface IP_IF1 is communicating with a mobile station on interface IP_IF2, the traffic may be routed via the second interface IP_IF3. In It should be understood that the many other technologies that Ethernet could be used on the data link layer. The forwarding table for a VRF can only have routes to interfaces that in the outbound direction belong to the VRF. The question of which VRF to use for the forwarding decision is selected from the VRF configuration for the inbound direction of the receiving interface. The definition of interfaces in both outbound and inbound direction can be extended to also consider the source and destination peers (can for instance be identified via link level addresses) to allow different VRFs for different remote peers (for example routers) on a multi-access link. The distinction between inbound and outbound direction provides the possibility that an interface can be used by multiple VRFs in the outbound direction. That is, several VRFs can use the same outbound link; e.g., both VRF_1 and VRF_2 could use the same outbound link, for instance IPIF_3. This feature is very useful together with broadcast and multicast based services. One example is that it makes it possible to have a separate multicast VPN that gives multicast services that several other VPNs can use. Traffic from the multicast network can be forwarded into another VPN where the end-users of the service are connected. The benefit of doing this is that the common services between the networks can use one common network architecture that enables more efficient use of the transport links. This is how multicast networks are used to give better performance, but multicast services are currently not possible to share between VPNs and this invention provides a solution to the problem. The main problem in WPP solved by the invention is that it allows GGSN nodes to defer packet filtering to a remote network to decrease the need of packet filtering configurations for the manager of the GGSN node. The present invention provides a scalable routing solution towards the external networks. This example also shows, when applicable, the separation between the SGSN and GGSN operators. It is a strong business case for an operator to provide the corporate networks with a service, making it possible for the corporate network administrator to configure the packet filters for the mobile stations and monitor all traffic to and from mobile stations. It is therefore a strong business case for a GGSN vendor to provide an operator with equipment implementing this invention. It should be noted that forwarding tables VRF#37 and VRF#42 are controlled by Operator 2 in accordance with whatever agreement exists between Corporate and Operator 2. The ability to route packets to the VRF in the opposite direction for an interface have been implemented. This is necessary to implement, if ICMP messages shall be supported. The VRF for the opposite direction is easy to find, since ICMP messages are generated for an outbound interface and the packet can then be handled as if it had arrived on that interface. The forwarding table in a VRF can be updated by a routing daemon. Routing daemons receive their routing information from different interfaces and can treat these interfaces as belonging to different routing areas. By separating the inbound and outbound direction of these interfaces, the routing protocol can be configured to filter which information to send to different interfaces. Thereby, the directions of the routing updates can be separated; if the routing protocol used for route announcements supports unidirectional links. The invention can for example be used for IPv4 and IPv6. Both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be bi-directional or unidirectional. The present invention provides the possibility for a router (or host) to treat bi-directional interfaces as two uni-directional interfaces at the same time as the peer routers (or hosts) view the interface on the router (or host) as a bi-directional interface. In other words, the surrounding network environment is not affected by the use of the invention, if it is not deliberately used in such a way. The invention has a high potential to solve many current and future problems in different areas of IP routing, since it is a fundamental change of how interfaces are treated in IP routing and forwarding environments.

Meta Question
Why does a great answer reward more points than a great question?
Asked by tups (6707
December 28th, 2012
I, personally, think it should be the other way around. I think everybody can give answers – they can either be quality or lame or shallow or whatever. Answers are uncertain, no one can know what the right answer is for real – it is debatable, it is thin.
But asking questions is an artform, it is true and answers can lie in question. You are curious, you want to learn, you are open-minded. People answer things all the time. I think the world needs more asking people, honest people who knows that they really know nothing and therefore they ask, instead of people thinking they know everything.
I think Socrates would agree, no?
Anyway, what do you think about this on Fluther?

From prehistoric times poetry has shaken, freed and transformed the awareness, sensitivity and feelings of mankind.
Each poet has a different conception of poetry, a poetic thought on reality, singular and moving.
While some cultures have room for skepticism or nihilism, in other territories poetry is a living hope.
The mythic poetry of the primitive peoples expresses the clans' intermingling with the Earth's energies and the elements.
Poetry lives in ceremonial songs of the ancient peoples, with traditions that survive the dark times.READ

1. Don't bathe more than once a month right now. Pups need the natural oils in their skin. Ours are 8 and 11 mos and we now give baths about once every other week.
2. You're not doing anything wrong, puppies need time to acclimate. When we brought Liam home it took him about four days to show us his "wild side." 3. You're going to have pet odor regardless...you have a pet now. This was a big thing for me too and now that we have two babies it's worse. I clean the floors like every 3-4 days and I bought glade plugins which help tremendously. Our bedroom was the worst and now all I smell is the plugin when I walk in.

He's quite the cutie!!! Congratulatiosn on your addition. i bathed Horatio every week but only his legs because he is white so as a puppy he was always dirty. Now he gets bathed every couple of months since stuff doesnt stick to his adult coat like his puppy coat. I'd say to get stuff you can sprinkle in the carpet and vaccuum up to help with doggy odor but if you keep pup and bedding clean, there shouldn't be any pet odor anyway. Good luck

When a water line broke this morning in the area of Central Park Elementary School, 900 Central Park Drive, causing city officials to issue a Boil Advisory for the Central Park area, Bossier Parish School administration immediately swung into gear.
A truck with non-potable water was dispatched to the school for utility use such as using sinks, lavatories and flushing toilets, and there is enough bottled water to take care of the children's drinking water needs until the end of the day, according to D.C. Machen, superintendent of Bossier schools, who went to the school when he learned of the situation.
Machen told NBC 6 News it was decided not to send the children home, as the situation was temporary and should be resolved within a few hours.
The break occurred this morning in a service line near the intersection of Central Park Drive and Princeton Avenue which resulted in a loss of water pressure in the area.

By most measures, ASU season ranks among most memorable
DEC 09, 2013 11:44a ET
It's understandable. They smelled roses, but the Sun Devils came up short, instead sliding to the conference's third bowl slot against a Texas Tech team on a five-game losing streak.
The reality, though, is that the 2013 season has by most measures already been the program's most successful since the 1996 team made ASU's last Rose Bowl appearance.
For starters, the Sun Devils have already won 10 games. They won as many in 2007, but that season included just one win over a ranked team -- one that ended up finishing the season 7-6. This year, ASU has wins over three ranked teams, won the Pac-12 South and hosted the Pac-12 Championship Game.
The Holiday Bowl also gives ASU a chance to reach 11 wins for just the sixth time in program history.
The Holiday Bowl is also ASU's most prestigious postseason game since its 2007 Holiday Bowl loss to Texas and a significant step up from the Las Vegas Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. The Sun Devils can earn back-to-back bowl wins for the first time since 2004-05.
The season also ranks among ASU's best for individual recognition. Graham won the Pac-12's Coach of the Year award; defensive tackle Will Sutton earned the conference's Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year award for the second straight season, becoming just the second player to do so in the Pac-12; and 13 players earned first- or second-team All-Pac-12 recognition. The six first-team selections are the most since ASU joined the Pac-10 in 1978.
The Sun Devils also cleared a few significant hurdles. They secured the program's first big-stage wins in quite some time, beating Wisconsin and Washington -- both of which were ranked No. 20 at the time -- on national TV before doing the same to then-No. 14 UCLA to clinch the Pac-12 South at the Rose Bowl.
The win over UCLA was also ASU's first road victory over a BCS-ranked opponent in more than a decade, the last coming over No. 6 Oregon in 2002.
ASU also showed resilience not seen in recent seasons. There was an admirable comeback attempt from a 29-0 deficit in an early season loss to Stanford (cutting the margin to 11); a 13-point fourth quarter rally to beat Utah on the road; and finally, a fourth-quarter stand to stave off a UCLA rally in Pasadena.
These were not the Sun Devils of old. They might not have reached the Rose Bowl, but they got closer than any team since 1996, and there are signs of staying power.
They are not without flaws. They have struggled on special teams and made plenty of mistakes on both sides of the ball. The coaches have room to improve, both in game situations and on the local recruiting trail.
But when the book closes on the 2013 Sun Devils, it should go down as one of the program's most memorable seasons.
