Select Local Merchants
Bob Sumerel Tire & ServiceRead MoreSince Bob Sumerel opened his first retail tire store in 1968, he has always tried to put the customer first, next to all the gold-medal winners and Neil Armstrong. His store's 20-plus current locations offer an entire slate of auto services, from tire rotations and sales to oil changes. On the site's Why Bob Sumerel page, customers and employees discuss the benefits of the company, and the My Garage feature tracks car histories such as oil changes and service reminders. Every Bob Sumerel also operates under the Fixed Forever guarantee, promising that parts will work forever—up until the sun balloons to a red giant and swallows the earth with its unfathomably hot plasma—with warranties to cover any unforeseen problems.10765 Harrison AveHarrison, OH US
QuikStop OilubeRead MoreTrained technicians at QuikStop Oilube's 13 tristate locations complete automotive services from oil changes to tire rotations with an ethos of friendliness and dedication established in 1987. Products keep engines smoothly churning and piston cylinders from attracting feral whack-a-moles. Each location offers full Saturday hours with select centers open on Sundays to ensure convenient service for any schedule. While-you-wait service rests on a trademark 10-minute oil change, complete with a fresh filter and a high-octane lollipop for well-behaved cars.1009 Eaton Dr.Fort Mitchell, KY US
Source 1 AutomotiveRead MoreIt's hard to say which aspect of Source 1 Automotive's 27-point inspection is most helpful. It might be the battery check, though it could just as easily be the fact that the whole inspection is free. Of course, this routine checkup is just one of many services offered by Source 1 Automotive, where certified technicians spend their days repairing finicky transmissions and engines, replacing tires, and brakes. They're just as concerned about their human clients, though, which is why they provide excellent customer service, and personal comforts including complimentary coffee, HD TVs, free WiFi, and comfy couches in a room free of car parts. Kids can even hang out in a play center when they get tired of coloring in owner's manuals.15 E. 4th StreetNewport, KY US
Jiffy Lube DaytonRead MoreThe highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil-Change package, which helps promote the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car?it cools the motor and helps prevent moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians?all of which have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)?service vehicles at Jiffy Lube. In addition to performing oil changes, technicians offer preventative services such as air-filtration and electrical-system maintenance, among others. Jiffy Lube?s quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, complete a service only after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.9435 Fields Ertel Rd.Cincinnati, OH US
Mike's Car WashRead MoreWhen Mike's Carwash first opened in 1948, it was one of only 18 carwash businesses in the United States. Today, the family-owned establishment keeps the 65-year-old tradition of gussying up automobiles alive at 42 locations throughout the Midwest. At each location, accommodating staffers stand by to assist customers during the cleaning process. Decked out in cartoon neckties, the cheerful team ushers cars into computer-controlled washers that eschew traditional gear-operated brushes and baseball bats in favor of controlled sprays and soft cloths. After the mixture of eight signature soaps de-grimes surfaces, 200-miles-per-hour gusts of hot air dry vehicles instantly. Mike's also offers specialty coats to give car exteriors and tires additional shine.1170 W Kemper Rd.Cincinnati, OH US
Majesty Auto CareRead MoreMajesty Auto Care's experienced team of sedan specialists have detailed more than 51,000 cars since the business's beginning in 1993. Four-wheelers roll up to the auto spa before affable staff members hand wash and dry exteriors—careful not to tickle underbellies lest they cause exhaustive chortles—and apply coats of high-quality wax to protect exterior shine. Interior detailing packages boast leather and vinyl conditioning services, a cleaning of doorjambs and locks, and shampooing of carpets. The shop lets auto owners opt for compiled interior, exterior, and ultimate detailing packages or handpick services from an à la carte car-care menu.2525 Compton Rd.Cincinnati, OH US

Next tie 17-19 July 2015
India will travel to New Zealand for an Asia/Oceania second round tie. The winners will advance to September's World Group play-offs. India has won its last 4 meetings with New Zealand.
Last tie 12-14 September 2014
India almost caused a shock when they narrowly lost to Serbia in the World Group play-offs. They found themselves 0-2 down after the opening day but fought back to level the tie at 2-2 but lost the deciding fifth rubber.
India has finished runner-up on three occasions, in 1966, 1974 and 1987, but is yet to lift the trophy. Only India, Romania and Argentina have contested more than one Final without being crowned champion. In the 1974 Eastern Zone Final, India and Australia established a record for the most number of games in a tie, 327.

Tommy Lee of Motley Crue Sued For Assault
A Florida resident has filed a civil suit against Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. The man is claiming that the drummer, who is no stranger to controversy, assaulted him on a Florida beach last summer.
A Florida resident has filed a civil suit against Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. The man is claiming that the drummer, who is no stranger to controversy, assaulted him on a Florida beach last summer.
After finishing up their 2013 Australian tour, Motley Crue will take a short break and head north to Canada for the band's most extensive tour of the country ever. Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee announced 18 dates in six provinces on Monday.
It seems Kiss and Motley Crue will be teaming up again as the two bands are set to headline this year's 'Rock Fest.' The four-day festival will be held from July 18 - 21 at the Venue in Cadott, Wis. and feature a variety of hard rocking veterans as well as newer acts.
All things considered, the last decade has been one of the more stable and harmonious stretches of Motley Crue's career -- which, ironically, might be part of why multiple members have been giving so much thought to laying the group to rest.
There won't be new Motley Crue music coming in 2013, and there may never be another full-length album from the hard-rockers. Vince Neil says there may be an EP in the band's future, but 2014 is as early as that would surface.
The folks at Topps are thinking throwback for this year's run of Topps Archives baseball cards -- and to add a little something extra for buyers looking to pick up some truly special collector's items, they're adding signed, limited-edition cards featuring some of the biggest names in '80s rock.
The brewing legal battle between Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and his former manager, Allen Kovac -- which just last month found Tyler issuing a public statement branding Kovac "rude" -- has spilled over into the Motley Crue camp.
The tragedy that unfolded last Friday (Dec. 14) in Newtown, Conn. has provoked a wide variety of responses, as well as a renewed national debate over gun control laws and mental health policy -- and, as it turns out, Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has his own viewpoint to add to the discussion, whether his fans agree or not.
When he isn't fronting Motley Crue, hunting ghosts, or flying the friendly skies, Vince Neil is also one of rock's busiest entrepreneurs -- and he's adding to his holdings with a new "rock and roll sports bar."
It can't be easy remembering the words to Motley Crue's greatest hits while holding a microphone and scanning one's environment for inappropriate horseplay, but Vince Neil is a seasoned professional, and he can multitask. Just ask the fan who nearly got clocked at his solo show last Saturday (Dec. 1).
There will soon be a new Mrs. Sixx as Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx has announced he and girlfriend Courtney Bingham plan to marry. The two have been dating since November 2010; it's the third marriage for Sixx after unions to Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt and actress Donna D'Errico.
John Corabi came very close to killing himself when he lost his job as Motley Crue's lead singer in 1997.

A storage router and related method are presented for combining multiple Fibre Channel frames together into a single IP datagram for tunneling transmission over an Internet protocol network. The storage router operates by storing incoming Fibre Channel frames in a Fibre Channel frame buffer. When there is sufficient data in the buffer, multiple Fibre Channel frames are taken from the buffer and combined into a single IP datagram. The number of Fibre Channel frames to be combined can be established through a variety of tests, including total bytes of data, number of frames, or through a time-out mechanism. The network layer then fragments the datagram into data link level frames, such as 1500 byte Ethernet frames. When the IP datagram arrives at the final destination, the segmented IP datagram is reconstructed, and the multiple Fibre Channel frames are extracted from the IP datagram and passed on to the recipient Fibre Channel network.

This application claims priority to provisional patent application U.S. Ser. No. 60/332,186, filed on Nov. 16, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to the field of Fibre Channel data transmission over IP networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for batching a plurality of Fibre Channel frames into a single IP datagram for transmission over an IP network.
Computers and other host devices are often connected with one or more storage devices via a storage area network (or "SAN"). It is well known to establish such networks using the Fibre Channel protocol, which is well suited for transmitting storage data over networks due to its ability to carry different networking and channel protocols. For instance, it is possible to transmit channel protocols such as SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) or HIPPI (High Performance Parallel Interface) over Fibre Channel links.
The Fibre Channel communications protocol is generally considered to involve five independent layers (Fibre Channel-0, Fibre Channel-1, Fibre Channel-2, Fibre Channel-3, and Fibre Channel-4). Fibre Channel-0 covers the physical characteristics that allow communications over a variety of physical media, such as copper wiring or fiber optics. The Fibre Channel-1 layer defines the 8B/10B transmission coding developed by Widmer and Franasak of IBM. The Fibre Channel-2 layer defines the Fibre Channel framing and signaling protocol. Fibre Channel-3 defines various link service functions. The Fibre Channel-4 level defines the implementation of the different protocols that can be carried over the Fibre Channel connection, such as SCSI or HIPPI.
The Fibre Channel-2 layer defines the Fibre Channel frame 10 as shown in
Fibre Channel based storage area networks are generally limited to campus-sized environments as a result of Fibre Channel's 10 kilometer distance limitation. Recent technology developments have been proposed that would allow these localized SANs to be connected together over Internet protocol (IP) networks. An organization known as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has helped to develop the specifications for one such technology. This technology, known as Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP or Fibre Channel/IP), enables the tunneling of Fibre Channel data between SANs over IP networks. The FCIP technology relies upon the transport layer (such as TCP) for congestion control and management and relies upon both the transport layer and the Fibre Channel protocol for data error and data loss recovery.
The FCIP specification tunnels Fibre Channel data by embedding each Fibre Channel frame 10 within a single IP datagram. This one-to-one relationship is possible because the maximum size of an encapsulated Fibre Channel frame 10 will not exceed 2148 bytes, while an IP datagram (according to IPv4 as defined in RFC 791) can hold 65535 8-bit bytes (including the 20 bytes that are required for the IP header). Thus, after adding the transport layer and IP headers, the FCIP protocol will turn a stream of maximum-length Fibre Channel frames 10 into a series of 2168 byte IP datagrams. Even if the 40-byte optional IP header is utilized, each IP datagram will be only 2208 bytes in length and hence much smaller than the maximum size allowed for IP datagrams.
Once the IP datagrams are created, they are then passed over a physical network utilizing a data link protocol such as ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet, or IEEE 802.3. In the typical environment, the IP datagrams are divided into Ethernet frames that have a maximum size of 1500 bytes (in other words, the maximum transmission unit or MTU of an Ethernet network is 1500 bytes). Thus, if an IP datagram containing a maximum sized Fibre Channel frame 10 is sent over an Ethernet connection, the 2168 byte IP datagram will be divided into two separate Ethernet frames. In most FCIP implementations, this means that after a single Fibre Channel frame 10 is converted into a single IP datagram, the datagram is then divided into one full Ethernet frame and one approximately half-full Ethernet frame. Even though the second Ethernet frame is smaller than the first frame, the overhead required for this half-empty frame to reach its final destination is generally the same as the full Ethernet frame. This utilization of half-empty Ethernet frames by the FCIP standard unfortunately reduces the efficiency of the FCIP connection. What is needed is a way to implement a Fibre Channel over IP that fully utilizes the available IP bandwidth.
The present invention overcomes the limitations in the prior art by providing a technique to efficiently transmit Fibre Channel frames over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. This is accomplished by combining multiple Fibre Channel frames together into a single IP datagram. This IP datagram is then fragmented into separate network frames, such as 1500 byte Ethernet frames. When the IP datagram arrives at the final destination, the segmented IP datagram is reconstructed, and the multiple Fibre Channel frames are extracted from the IP datagram and passed on to the recipient Fibre Channel network.
The present invention requires buffer memory in order to accumulate Fibre Channel frames. The buffer memory stores Fibre Channel frames received from the Fibre Channel network. Multiple Fibre Channel frames are accumulated in the buffer and then combined into a single IP datagram. In a 1500 byte MTU Ethernet network, it will be necessary to fragment this datagram into multiple 1500 byte Ethernet frames. However, while the prior art would often send a half-filled Ethernet frame for each full frame sent over the network, the present invention will more efficiently divide the IP datagram into multiple Ethernet frames.
When the FCIP data is received over the IP network, the Ethernet frames are stored in a buffer until the complete IP datagram can be reconstructed. The IP datagram is then divided back into the original Fibre Channel frames, which are sent out over the attached Fibre Channel network.
The number of Fibre Channel frames to be batched into a single IP datagram can be established through a variety of tests, such as total bytes of data, number of frames, or through a time-out mechanism. The values used for each of these tests can be set through theoretical analysis of a particular network, or through empirical study of prior performances of the present invention. These individual tests can be merged into a single algorithm capable of triggering the creation of an IP datagram using the currently batched Fibre Channel frames.
The present invention is implemented on a storage router that has a Fibre Channel interface for connecting with the Fibre Channel fabric and a network interface for connecting to an IP network. Fibre Channel frames received over the Fibre Channel interface are stored on a buffer within the storage router until a processor within the router determines that a Fibre Channel frame should be created. A transport and network layer object within the storage router creates an IP datagram out of the Fibre Channel frames stored in the router. The storage router then transmits the datagram over the network interface via a data link object. Data received from the network interface is likewise stored within a buffer memory until the entire IP datagram can be reconstructed. Once the IP datagram is reassembled, the multiple Fibre Channel frames within the datagram are sent over the Fibre Channel fabric via the storage router's Fibre Channel interface.
Prior Art
A single Fibre Channel frame 10 can be up to approximately 2 kilobytes (KB) in size. In situations where the Fibre Channel frame 10 contains more than 1.5 KB, it is likely that the resultant IP datagram 40 will have to be fragmented during its delivery to its destination. This is because Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 frames each have an data payload size of approximately 1.5 KB (the actual MTU for Ethernet is 1500 bytes and for 802.3 is 1492 bytes), and a great deal of Internet protocol traffic travels over Ethernet or 802.3 networks. Thus, where the Fibre Channel frame 10 contains a full 2 KB data payload, the network layer will fragment the resulting IP datagram 40 into two Ethernet frames 60. One Ethernet frame 60 will contain approximately 1.5 KB of data from the Fibre Channel frame and the other Ethernet frame 60 will contain approximately 0.5 KB of data. Unfortunately, the network overhead required to send each Ethernet frame 60 to its final destination is generally the same even though one of the frames is more than half empty.
This inefficiency can significantly affect network performance, especially in data storage applications where a Fibre Channel sequence includes multiple Fibre Channel frames 10 that contain the maximum 2 KB of data. This situation is shown in
Frame Batching
Taking this efficiency further, it would not be unexpected for a single Fibre Channel sequence to contain many hundreds of kilobytes of data being transmitted by numerous Fibre Channel frames 10 each having approximately 2 KB of data. In this situation, the present invention could combine thirty-one of the Fibre Channel frames 10 into a single IP datagram 40. This datagram 40 would then be fragmented into forty-two full 1.5 KB Ethernet frames 60 and one partially full Ethernet frame 60. In contrast, the prior art FCIP implementations would convert those same thirty-one Fibre Channel frames 10 into sixty-two Ethernet frames 60. In this extreme case, the present invention would provide a greater than thirty percent increase in network efficiency.
Storage Router
The two Fibre Channel fabrics 82, 84 are connected to each other via an Internet protocol network 92 using a pair of storage routers 100. These routers 100 handle the tunneling of Fibre Channel frames 10 into IP datagrams 40 using a combination of standard FCIP techniques and the frame batching technology of the present invention. The present invention will focus on the new frame batching technology, since the basic FCIP techniques are well known in the prior art.
The details of storage router 100 are shown in
A processing unit in the storage router 100 makes the determination as to when the data in the buffer 124 will be grouped into an IP datagram 40. Various techniques can be used to make this determination, such as by counting the number of frames 10 in the buffer 124, totaling the total number of bytes in the buffer 124, or by accumulating data until a preset time period has expired. Other techniques would be obvious to one skilled in the art and are within the scope of the invention. Ideally, multiple techniques are used in conjunction with one another. One such combination would be to accumulate data until a set number of bytes or frames 10 have been received, while allowing a timer to time-out this waiting period if a predetermined period has expired without reaching the desired amount of data.
The number of Fibre Channel frames 10 transmitted in any one IP datagram 40 will depend upon the number of bytes contained within the Fibre Channel frames 10 themselves and the effective available bandwidth of the network 92. In short, more network bandwidth increases the number of Fibre Channel frames 10 that may be transmitted through the network in one IP datagram 40.
Once a sufficient number of Fibre Channel frames 10 has been accumulated in buffer 124, the sequence of frames 10 are passed to a transport object 126 that prepares the sequence for transmission by prepending a transport header to the sequence and thereby creating a transport datagram. The datagram is then passed to a network object 128, which prepends a network header, fragments the datagram into the appropriate number of network interface MTU sized packets, and passes them to the data link object 130. The data link object 130 then prepends a data link header on each fragment and queues the packet for transmission on the network transmit queue 132. From here, the data is transmitted out 134 over the Internet protocol network 92. The transport object 126, network object 128, and data link object 130 can be collectively referred to as networking objects. These objects 126-130 can be actual objects in an object-oriented programming paradigms, or can otherwise exist as software or firmware programming designed to achieve the functions of their respective networking layer.
Frames of data 142 from the Internet protocol network 92 are received on the logical network side 140 of storage router 100 and placed into the network receive buffer 144. Each frame is stripped of its data link and network headers by the data link 146 and network objects 148, and then reassembled into the original datagram. The transport object 150 then breaks down the datagram into the original Fibre Channel frames 10. The Fibre Channel frames 10 are then passed to the Fibre Channel transmit queue 152 for transmission 154 over a Fibre Channel network such as SAN 82 or 84.
The processor 164 is responsible for controlling the various components of storage router 100. Specifically, processor 164 is responsible for directing the creation of an IP datagram 40 when sufficient Fibre Channel data is stored in Fibre Channel frame buffer 170. This is accomplished by having the processor 164 run procedures stored in program memory 174 based upon data and parameters stored in general memory 176. Of course, while
The method 200 of combining multiple Fibre Channel frames 10 into a single IP datagram 40 is shown on
If all of these steps 204-208 are calculated to be false, the method 200 simply places the next received frame 10 in the Fibre Channel frame buffer 170 at step 202. If any of these steps 204-208 calculates to a true value, the method 200 continues at step 210 by combining the frames 10 in Fibre Channel frame buffer 170 together into a single datagram 40. Step 212 adds the transport and Internet protocol headers. The resulting datagram is then fragmented into multiple network (or data link) frames 60 in step 214 according the MTU of the Internet protocol network 92. The network frames 60 are then transmitted over the network 92 at step 216. The method 200 of creating a single datagram ends at step 218, but in practice the method 200 will simply start over again repeatedly at step 202.
The above description implies that the Fibre Channel frame buffer 170 is emptied each time the buffered frames 10 are combined into a datagram in step 210. This is not a requirement of the present invention, as it would be a simple manner to simply place all incoming Fibre Channel frames 10 into the buffer 170, and then use steps 204, 206, and 208 to determine which subset of the frames 10 in buffer 170 are to be combined into the IP datagram 40.
The method for receiving data over the Internet protocol network 92 is essentially the reverse of method 200. Multiple network frames 60 are accumulated to recreate the IP datagram 40. Once the datagram 40 is reconstructed, the individual Fibre Channel frames 10 are extracted from the datagram 40 and sent out over the Fibre Channel network 82, 84.
The invention is not to be taken as limited to all of the above details, as modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For instance, the above explanation described the storage router of the present invention in connection with Fibre Channel frames of a maximum size of approximately two kilobytes. In some environments, Fibre Channel frames are created with a lower maximum size, such as one kilobyte. The present invention is equally useful in this environment, since the prior art FCIP implementations would create a separate IP datagram 40 for each Fibre Channel frame 10. Although there would be no fragmentation in this environment since each IP datagram 40 would be less than the MTU of an Ethernet network, each Ethernet frame 60 would carry less than its maximum data payload (approximately 1 KB instead of 1.5 KB). With the present invention, multiple 1 KB Fibre Channel frames 10 would be combined into a single IP datagram 40, which would then be fragmented as necessary for the network's MTU as is shown in
In addition, the above description showed a specific logical and physical division of components in the storage router. It would be well within the scope of present invention to alter the logical and physical divisions of these components without altering the fundamental process of the present invention. Also, the method of Figure shows three particular tests being used to determine when the Fibre Channel frames 10 in Fibre Channel frame buffer 170 are to be combined into an IP datagram 40. One or more of these tests could be removed or altered, or additional tests could be added to the method and still be within the contemplated scope of the present invention. As the above examples illustrate, the invention should not be limited by the specifics of the above description, but rather should be limited only by the following claims.

BY MICHAEL BARONE, Investor's Business Daily
Michael Barone
As Barack Obama called Tuesday for a bipartisan immigration bill in Las Vegas and Sen. Marco Rubio called for one on Rush Limbaugh's program, the chances for passage look surprisingly good.
But in some quarters — mostly from the right, but also from liberals such as blogger Mickey Kaus — comes a complaint that deserves to be addressed.
We tried this once already, they say, in the 1986 immigration act. We were told that in return for legalization of illegal immigrants we would get tough border control and strict enforcement against employers who hired illegals.
We got the amnesty, these folks say, but we didn't get effective border control or workplace enforcement. We got instead a huge flow of illegals, who number 11 million now.
Why should anything be different this time? It's a reasonable question, and I think there are reasonable answers. And let's not charge anyone with racism here. After all, illegal immigrants have, by definition, done something illegal. And legalization involves some element of forgiveness.
The argument for granting legal status is that we as a nation have been complicit in tolerating a situation in which it's easy and profitable to violate the law. The price of changing that is granting legal status to otherwise unobjectionable illegals, since we can't deport 11 million people.
So what are the reasons to think such legislation would produce different results from those of the 1986 law?
Border enforcement. It's clear that we've been doing better and can do better still. Fences at some portions of the border have stopped illegal crossings, and we have unmanned aerial vehicles unavailable 25 years ago.
The eight senators' framework called for an "entry-exit system that tracks whether all persons entering the United States on temporary visas via airports and seaports have left the country as required by law."
That suggests something feasible now that wasn't back then: an identity card linked to a database with biometric identification. India is now creating such a system for its 1.2 billion people. Why can't we do that for many fewer immigrants and visa holders?
High-skill immigration. The 1986 law left intact a system with more slots for collateral relatives such as siblings than for high-skill graduates. Today, there's a big demand for the latter.
The senators' framework calls for green cards for those with U.S. advanced science, math and tech degrees. Why keep these people out? Why tie them to one employer?
As we pause to celebrate the anniversary of our nation's independence, it seems appropriate to consider the vital role played by the American military in the birth of our nation. Long before the 1776 Declaration of Independence, Americans were fighting in foreign lands on our behalf. In 1741, ...
California keeps reminding us what has gone astray with America in recent years. The state is in the midst of a crippling four-year-old drought. Yet it has built almost no major northern or central mountain reservoirs since the New Melones Dam of 1979. That added nearly 3 million acre-feet to the ...
The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the redefinition of marriage seals the end of America as the Founders envisioned it. From well before 1776 until the second half of the 20th century, the moral values of the United States were rooted in the Bible and its God. Unlike Europe, which defined itself as ...
President Obama just can't help making false claims about guns. On Friday, during his eulogy in Charleston, S.C., for Rev. Clementa Pinckney, Obama spent four minutes pushing his agenda for gun control. But from how American violence compares with other countries to what opinion polls show, Obama ...
Observant Christians — and adherents of other faiths — are reeling from the Supreme Court's declaration of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage and preparing for an unprecedented struggle for their right to express their beliefs and live their lives accordingly, as new battles ...

'Sons of Anarchy' Season 6 Start: Kurt Sutter Dishes On New 'Tough Guy' Character For Upcoming Installment [VIDEO]
Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter is at it again with his teasers, as he's recently wet the pallets of the SAMCRO loyalists for its upcoming sixth season.
Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter is at it again with his teasers, as he's recently wet the pallets of the SAMCRO loyalists for its upcoming sixth season.
In the latest edition of WTF Sutter, the Sons creator give his audience a couple of hints on a brand new character he's reportedly signed on to play a crucial role.
The first hint is that a male actor will fill the future part. Sutter then goes on to state his second hint, which is that the character will indeed be a "tough guy." To top it off, he stated that someone that's a TV series regular on another program would embody the respective role.
Depending on how the season unfolds, Sutter said he might bring the actor on for more than one episode. The tattooed writer stated that the reason he couldn't reveal the newly signed on actor's identity is because he has given him the opportunity to share the news via the proper industry avenues.
Sons of Anarchy will be premiering its sixth season on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 10/9 p.m. Central on the FX network. Be sure to keep checking back for more of the latest details from EnStars on the gritty biker TV series. Check out the Sutter segment mentioned below!

Tiger Lilies
After a storm,
the earth bathed in light,
clouds float in bright skies;
tiger lilies pulse on a breeze.
Lawns humming with mowers,
mountains unfurl royal ribbons,
poplars catch sunrays'
after the storm.
Plants popping up in gardens,
raindrops glitter on grass,
Hyatt-Mill Creek murmurs;
the earth bathed in light.
A time to rejoice,
fog lifts from Brasstown Valley,
the windchimes ringing;
clouds float in bright skies.
By the little river,
a Monarch butterfly
dips down and touches
tiger lilies pulsing on a breeze.

with wings of spun glass,
you flit about the grass
and land on my hand.
Small pearls hang in poplars,
honeysuckle perfumes a breeze,
the swallowtail zigzagging--
fairy of the flowers.
Drinking the marigold's mystery,
there are jewels on your body,
you flutter in the air
with wings like spun glass.
When wild strawberries droop
on the woodland trail,
and the rain crow lifts songs,
you flit about the grass.
In shimmering robes of silk
that catch the sunlight,
you fold your wings
and land on my hand.

splashing rainbows on roadbanks,
an emblem of kings;
you outrank the rose.
Clouds float like angels
over fields of wildflowers,
taking your place at spring;
you march into May.
Lifting your face to the sun,
a Monarch butterfly sips nectar
from the crystal fountain
splashing rainbows on roadbanks.
On the heels of tulips,
the iris stands as a sentinel,
keeps time with the drumbeat;
an emblem of kings.
A time to everything,
the mourning dove cooing;
with majesty you flare out
and outrank the rose.

God sends ministering angels
to light our path;
and help my mama heal.
God sends ministering angels
to lift our faltering spirits,
and help my mama heal.
Let us hide our thorns in roses.
To lift our faltering spirits,
teaching Mama to walk again;
let us hide our thorns in roses.
Sunshine breaks through the clouds.
Nurses disguised as angels
to light our path,
therapists filled with God's love;
roses perfume the mountain air.
--Brenda Kay Ledford
Mama fell on March 7, 2015 and broke her hip. She had surgery the next day and was in the hospital a month. Now the Mountain Nursing Service is providing nurses and therapists to care for her at my home. She's responding well and using a walker. We are very pleased with the excellent service this agency is giving.
I would appreciate very much your keeping Mama in your prayers as she recovers.
Also, I wish all my blogger friends a very Happy Mother's Day.

pink azaleas dot the hillsides;
she whispers in the woods,
life bursting from earth's tomb.
Pink azaleas dot the hillsides,
sap flows through veins;
life bursting from earth's tomb,
dogwoods wear white crosses.
Sap flows through veins,
the valley glowing with verdant grass;
life bursting from earth's tomb,
a symphony of song birds.
Tulips splash rainbows on lawns,
she whispers in the woods,
renewal of the soul,
April stirs sleeping roots.

Early spring morning,
raindrops glitter on the poplars,
lupines sprinkle hillsides.
Wearing orange-striped vests,
cups open to drink sunshine,
a rainbow of tulips.
Snow twirls on breeze,
hundreds of apple blossoms
tossing petals to the earth.
Easter cantata,
robins perform in the hills,
daffodils dancing.
--Brenda Kay Ledford
I hope all my blogger friends will have a beautiful and splendid spring. I'm so glad to see spring again. It gives me hope that "all things work together for the good to those who love God and called to Him." We indeed serve a living Lord! Amen!

Frozen Fairyland
The rising sun paints
the snow-capped mountains
with broad brush strokes,
pink and purple shades.
Under the veils of lace,
white silence fills the hills.
Walking through the forest,
footsteps crunch snow.
A cardinal rustles
powder from the pines,
berries frozen on holly;
winter carves ice sculptures
on Hyatt-Mill Creek.
Three deer appear,
icicles dazzle on roofs,
wood smoke curving heavenward.

Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett 370.

5 Broken Cameras and The Gatekeepers' loss at the Academy Awards was no loss
for Israel, Bayit Yehudi MKs said on Monday morning."The Israeli film,
the anti-Israel 5 Broken Cameras did not win the Oscar. I did not shed a tear,"
Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett wrote on Facebook.MK Uri Orbach
(Bayit Yehudi) took to the social network to write a sarcastic message: "Make a
face like you're disappointed that the two documentary films that 'represent
Israel' didn't win the Oscar for Best Documentary. Oy, so unfortunate." 5 Broken
Cameras, co-directed by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi, features footage collected
by the former starting in 2005, when his fourth son was born, that follows
skirmishes between Palestinian villagers from Bil'in and IDF soldiers protecting
the nearby town of Modi'in Illit and his son's growth.MK Motti Yogev
(Bayit Yehudi) called to boycott the film, saying it "slanders Israel in a
tendentious way and we should not cooperate with them." "The name of the film, 5
Broken Cameras, comes from the fact that many times people set up those cameras
as a way to incite against the IDF and the state," Yogev wrote on his Facebook
page Sunday evening, before the Oscars began. "This is like a broken telephone
that in the end brings an incorrect sentence. These cameras only show part of
the picture and twist it in a way that does not reflect the conflict." MK Tzipi
Hotovely (Likud) cracked a joke about 5 Broken Cameras on Facebook, writing
"meanwhile, we found Guy Davidi's reaction on [his film] not winning the Oscar"
and posting a photo that appears to have been taken through a shattered
lens.Judy Mozes Nir Shalom, wife of Likud Vice Premier Silvan Shalom
tweeted that it was "great to wake up and read that the members of the Academy
shares my opinion. I hope those who were responsible for budgetary aid, which
came from taxpayers' money, for films that want to bury us will pay with their
jobs." Top of Form MK Ayelet Shaked (Bayit Yehudi) expressed support for a
campaign by reservists who are considering suing the creators of 5 Broken
Cameras for libel.After appearing on Channel 10 talk show "Orly and Guy"
together with a reservist who served in Bil'in, Shaked called the soldier a
hero."The whole studio was full of pride when he spoke," she stated.
"The truth will win over those trying to twist it." The reservist in question is
a member of Consensus: Guardians of the IDF Spirit, an NGO meant to anti-IDF
attacks in the media, which started a campaign against 5 Broken Cameras this
week.Consensus put out a video animated by the popular YouTube cartoon
"Srutonim" calling to "stop the incitement in Israeli cinema" and spoofing the
documentary, as well as Waltz with Bashir and Beaufort, Israeli films that were
nominated in 2008 and 2007, respectively.Davidi responded to questions about the potential
lawsuit in a phone call with "Orly and Guy," saying that his film "documents
what happens and does not stage scenarios or distort facts. I have no idea about
the rumors that people want to sue me, because I am focusing on our
accomplishments." MK Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz) denounced the right-wing
politicians for enjoying the films' loss."The satisfaction that the MKs
from the Bayit Yehudi and Likud draw from the fact that the films didn't win is
disgusting," he stated. "Instead of being happy that an Israeli film is
internationally recognized and promotes culture in Israel, they are busy trying
to minimize public discourse and shut mouths." Horowitz added that "the
government that apparently will be formed will not be better than its
predecessor in everything connected to preserving Israel's democratic nature and
will continue fighting against freedom of speech instead of for it." Labor MK
Omer Bar-Lev made a play on the Israeli slang idiom "living in a movie," which
means "delusional," in reference to Bennett's comments and reports that Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is uninterested in seeing either of the
Oscar-nominated films."Those holding the wheel – Netanyahu – or those
who will sit next to the driver, thanks to [Yesh Atid leader] Yair Lapid's
generosity, chose to close their eyes, not to shed tears and continue ignoring
what is happening, even when the territory is on fire," he said. "Anyone who
cannot watch the movies is living in a different movie than reality.
