The present invention relates to network devices and particularly to network switches for packet-based communication systems such as Ethernet networks and also to an improved method of operating such a network device or switch. The term 'switch' is intended to refer broadly to a device which receives addressed data packets at any of a multiplicity of physical 'ports' and which can internally switch those packets so that received packets are forwarded from one or more ports in response to the address data in the packet or modified forms of such address data.
Broadly, switches of the kind to which the invention relates have a multiplicity of physical ports at which addressed data packets can be received. The data traffic, and therefore the occupancy of bandwidth, at any particular port may vary widely. Typically, a switch includes means for temporarily storing packets received by the input ports and means, hereinafter called for convenience 'output buffer', for the temporary storage of data packets before they are forwarded from a port. Such means might be constituted by individual FIFO stores, by respective allocated memory space within a dynamic random access memory or by other forms of memory. Normally the switch includes a forwarding database which is built up typically by the reading of source addresses in incoming packets. The forwarding database permits, from an examination of a received packet and from recourse to associated data, the determination of the or each port from which a received packet should be dispatched. Packets having destination addresses which do not appear in the database need to be 'broadcast' either throughout the whole of the network or part of it in order to achieve resolution of the address. Generally, switches which rely on media access control, otherwise called 'layer 2', addresses are termed 'bridges' whereas switches which rely on logical link control, otherwise known as 'layer 3', addresses are normally termed 'routers'. In almost all switches of this general kind there is a conflict of bandwidths required for different types of packet. In any practical system the buffer space available for the transmitting ports of a switch is limited and accordingly switches in practice are inherently liable to congestion.
Various techniques are currently used to bridge and/or route data packets of different types. These techniques generally rely on the individual packets' protocols or priorities to influence the speed of transmission through the switch and/or to determine whether packets will be discarded if the device becomes congested. Generally, packets of higher priority experience the lower rate of discard.
In British patent application number 9807264.8 filed Apr. 3, 1998 (published as GB-2336076-A) and corresponding U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/093,287 (Moran et al) there is described a mechanism for limiting the aggregate traffic through a port of a network device. The mechanism essentially comprises a counter which increments in accordance with the sizes of packets through the port and decrements at a rate which determines the maximum allowed data rate through the port. The decrementing rate may be remotely controlled by a network administrator. The traffic through the port is limited, if the content of the counter exceeds a threshold, by initiating 'flow control', that is to say the sending of control packets to the other end of the link to which the port is connected. These control packets are, in accordance with a known transmission standard, in a form which instructs the device at the far end of the link to cease sending packets for some period of time specified in the control packet. The proposal does not enable either any distinction to be made between packets of different type or the setting of a maximum bandwidth for traffic of a particular type.
The present invention particularly relates to an improved and more versatile technique for allocating a maximum bandwidth which may be occupied by packets of a particular type in an output link.
In a preferred form of the invention, bandwidth allocation for at least one defined packet type is achieved using a single buffer memory space. Different packet types are selected by for example snooping the protocol fields of packets and/or priority fields in the packets and categorising the packets according to the selection. For at least one and preferably each selected packet type there is a means which determines whether there are enough credits to store a new packet in the output buffer. Each time a new packet is accepted, a respective aggregate count is decremented by the size of the packet. Meanwhile, the aggregate count is constantly incremented at a selectable or controlled rate. In one embodiment of the invention, a counter may be incremented in response to a proportion of pulses corresponding to or defining the speed of a port. For example, if the desired maximum bandwidth to be occupied by packets of a selected type in an output link is to be 30% of the available bandwidth on that link, a counter for packets of that particular type may be incremented in response to three out of each ten successive clock pulses. Alternatively pulses corresponding to slot pulses for an internal slotted bus may be used if it is desired that the counting be independent of the speed of the port.
In an idle state, the counter may be incremented up to the allocation of the output buffer and may thereby store enough 'credits' for bursty traffic.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical 'Ethernet' data packet.
FIG. 2 illustrates schematically a switch architecture for a switch organised according to the invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates one channel of a bandwidth allocator forming part of the switch illustrated in FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical 'Ethernet' data packet or frame of a kind which would be used by switches according to the invention. Such a packet is intended to conform, for example, to the IEEE Standard 802.3 (1998) but may conform to other and modified Standards if desired.
The data packet illustrated in FIG. 1 normally has a header comprising a preamble, a start of frame delimiter, a destination address, a source address, and type data, packet data comprising a protocol header and message data, and frame check sum (FCS) or cyclic redundancy code data at the end of the packet. Other forms of packet or frame which may be employed, such as control frames, may have special destination address codes and in place of the type data may have operation codes followed by control parameters. Control frames need not include message data but will normally include cyclic redundancy code data.
It is necessary in the present invention to sort, at some stage which will be described, packets into at least two categories, of which at least one category will be controlled to occupy a specified proportion of the bandwidth available for the forwarding of packets from an output buffer. There are many ways in which packets may be categorised and it is not intended to limit the invention to any particular group of categories or types or any particular method of characterisation. A few examples will suffice.
One example is to employ media access control priority bits and logical link control priority bits. According to one transmission Standard, particularly IEEE Standard 802.1p, there are three priority bits used to define priority in layer 2 addressing, the bits being located after the destination and source addresses and type field. The layer 3 priority bits are located in the layer 3 protocol header. These various priority bits may be combined using any suitable mapping algorithm to yield, for example, a three bit category field defining eight different categories. Each packet will fall into at least one category, it is not essential that the categories be mutually exclusive.
A second example of categorisation would be to employ different layer 3 protocols.
It may be desired to employ a 'higher level' categorisation, between, for example, audio, video and data traffic. Then the categorisation or filtration, these terms being broadly equivalent, needs to provide translation, for example by assigning different priorities to the different categories. However, such methods of categorisation are known in the art and are at the choice of the designer or dependent on the circumstances.
FIG. 2 illustrates by way of example the architecture of a network switch 1 which is operable in accordance with the invention. The switch 1 has a set of ports 2 receiving addressed packets such as Ethernet packets as shown in FIG. 1. Only three such ports are shown, though very typically there would be many more ports than three. Typically the ports are capable of bidirectional operation, namely they can transmit as well as receive. The ports may he capable of half-duplex or full-duplex working according to preference or circumstances. For the sake of simplicity only the ports 2 are shown as receiving ports and further ports 3 are shown as transmitting ports. In this example, each of the ports is associated with a data link which, in this example, is assumed to have a maximum data rate.
In the present example it will be assumed that one of the ports, denoted 3 a in FIG. 2, is required to provide over an associated link a fixed maximum bandwidth for at least one category of packet. As will be apparent, the invention is applicable in general to any reasonable multiplicity of different categories of data packets. Moreover, each of the other ports may be similarly provided with a bandwidth allocator of the kind to be described but for convenience the description will be limited to the allocation of a maximum bandwidth for a particular type of packet intended for transmission over the link associated with the transmit port 3 a.
Before the characteristic features of the invention are described, the general architecture of the switch will be reviewed.
Packets received at each of the ports 2 are temporarily stored in receive buffers 4 from which they may be distributed to their destination ports by any convenient means. In this example the receive buffers 4 provide packets under the control of an access controller 5 to a time slotted data bus which provides equal access time for each of the receive buffers. From the data bus 6 packets are delivered to the transmitting ports as required. Packets intended for the port are directed to a respective buffer memory 7 which is under the control of a front interface 8 and a back interface 9. All the ports have allocated port numbers and the distribution of port numbers to packets can be achieved in known manner by the access controller S, which includes in known manner a CPU and a look-up table which associates the port numbers with destination addresses.
The organisation of the look-up table and the allocation of port numbers is not of any great consequence to the invention Typically, a hashing algorithm may be applied to at least part of the address data in the received packets and preferably to a combination of the source address and the destination address in each packet. The hashing of the source and destination addresses will provide a pointer to an entry or to a series of linked entries in a look-up table, which typically contains entries each comprising at least a port number and usually the source and destination addresses for the purposes of verification and also a link pointer to other entries in the table obtained from different source and destination pairs but hashing to the same result. If a verification process made on an entry does not achieve a match of address data the next entry in a linked list can be examined and so on. This process is typical of look-ups for forwarding tables based on hashing of addresses and does not need to be described in further detail. One example of hashing addresses is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,708,659, issued to Rostoker et al on Jan. 13, 1998.
In any event, those packets which are allotted port numbers corresponding to any of the ports 3 or 3 a will after leaving the relevant receive buffer be conveyed across the switch by way of the slotted bus 6 to the relevant ports.
The memory space 7 may be a respective memory for the port but may be constituted by respectively allocated buffers in a large buffer store, constituted for example by dynamic random access memory. The front transmit interface 8 controls the writing of data into the available memory space in the buffer whereas the back interface 9 controls the read out of packets from the buffer.
It needs to be stated that there is a variety of techniques available for the writing and reading of data packets in the output buffer. For example, as described in Gibson et al., Ser. No. 09/353,149 filed Jul. 14, 1999 (assigned to the same assignee as the instant application) it is possible for the front interface 8 to form a multiplicity of transmit queues in the available data space, according to traffic type, and for the back interface to read out from each of the thereby defined transmit queues in turn. For simplicity it will be assumed that the front interface forms within the available space of the buffer a single queue of packets which will be read out from the buffer 7 by means of the back interface 9.
The invention is not limited to the specific architecture shown herein provided that there are, as indicated in FIG. 2, some means for forming the addressed data packets into at least one queue in output buffer space before the packets are transmitted by way of a respective port or group of trunked ports.
In the present embodiment the switch 1 includes, for each category of packet of which the allocated bandwidth is to be controlled, a respective bandwidth allocation controller 10 which is more particularly described with reference to FIG. 3 Each controller requires an indication of the size of each packet read into the buffer 7. For some types of packet, there is an inherent indication of packet size contained in the packet header. Other types of packet do not have such indication but it is customary for the receiving ports to determine the length of each packet and to provide for transmission across the switch with a packet, status information including the packet size. Such status information and protocol and/or priority data is provided to each bandwidth controller 10 by way of lines 11 and 12 for each packet intended for the output buffer 7.
It needs to be mentioned, before FIG. 3 is discussed, that a front interface such as interface 8 normally includes a discarding function by which the interface is prevented from accepting any further packets under specified conditions.
Included within the front interface 8 are packet filters 8 a, one for each of the different packet types, so that every packet which is destined for the output buffer 7 will be analysed by the different packet filters, to determine whether this packet is from its allotted group or not. These filters are controllable, as will be described, by the respective bandwidth controller, to discard packets of the respective type on receipt of a signal on a line 32
The present invention requires some form of clock pulse signal for the operation of a counter to be described with reference to FIG. 3. Such a signal may be derived from a clock signal for the slotted bus 6 but may, as shown, be derived from a clock 13 which g,governs the particular speed (i.e. data rate) of the respective port, i.e. port 3 a. Clock 13 may be a slave clock driven from a system clock. An output 14 from the clock provides in this embodiment a clock input for a bandwidth controller as described with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 illustrates one of the bandwidth allocation controllers 10 for use in the switch shown in FIG. 2. There will be an allocation controller for each selected packet type for each port. As previously indicated, the bandwidth allocation controller maintains an aggregate count, which is decremented by the size of each packet of the respective type which arrives at the output buffer, and is continually incremented at a selected rate which limits the maximum bandwidth which may be occupied by the selected packet type. The aggregate count is held in a register 30, of which the content is compared with a threshold, preferably representing the maximum expected or permitted size of any packet, by means of a comparator 31. If the aggregate count in the register is greater than the threshold, there is produced on output line 32 a signal indicating that packets may continue to be accepted by the front interface 8. If the aggregate count in the register 30 is less than the threshold, the signal on line 32 to interface 8 indicates that packets of this type should be discarded.
An indication of packet size is provided to the controller on line 11, this line (in practice a multiplicity of parallel lines) being coupled to an input (b) of an 'subtractor' 34 which subtracts the input packet size from the current numerical content of the register 30.
A filter 35 responds to the protocol and/or priority data of the input packet to produce an enabling signal for a selector 36 if the respective packet is of the type that this controller 10 should be monitoring. If the packet is of the respective type, selector 36 passes on the aggregate count less the new packet size to input (c) of the adder 37. If the packet is not of the respective type, merely the prior aggregate count in register 30 is passed to the adder 37.
Counter 38 also receives on line 40 a control signal denoting the proportion of the maximum bandwidth which the respective type of packet should be occupying. Such a signal may be obtained by way of the CPU from a network adminstrator.
Control signal on line 40 controls counter 38 so that the counter counts the same proportion of clock pulses as the proportion of the bandwidth allocated to packets of the respective type. Thus for example if the proportion of the bandwidth allocated to packets of the respective type is 30%, the counter 38 will count three out of every ten slot pulses.
Control signal on line 40 also acts as a select input to a selector 42 which has inputs 43 each representing a respective counter limit for the relevant portion of bandwidth. In the present example, values are provided for each of ten discrete values of the proportion of bandwidth from 10% to 100%. These values may be held in registers which may be preprogrammed before use.
The counter 38 provides each time it counts to the number of pulses defined by the control on line 40 an enabling signal with (i) on the reception of input (d) of adder 37 increments the value at (c) by some fixed number, such as 32 (bytes); and (ii) enables a selector 44; this selector provides either the incremented count to a subsequent selector 45 or the non-incremented output of the selector 36, so that the aggregate count is incremented only if the counter 38 has made the defined count.
The output of selector 44 is coupled to one input of selector 45 of which the other input receives the output of selector 36. Selector 45 is controlled by the output of a comparator 46 which receives the counter limit value on line 47 and the output of selector 44 on line 48. On detection of equality, indicating that the aggregate count has reached the limit for the respective type in the buffer, comparator 46 provides switching signal to selector 45 so that the register 30 is not incremented past the limit for the respective packet type.
Otherwise however the aggregate count formed from the prior content of register 30 any decrementing value from the input packet and any incrementing value from the counter 38, the aggregate count is loaded back into the register 30 for comparison with the maximum packet size by means of comparator 31.
The discard signal on line 32 may also be employed to disable the packet selector 35 so that the aggregate count is not altered by any input packet if packets of that type are being discarded.
The incrementing and decrementing may be arranged conversely although some other alterations are necessary to ensure that the difference between the accumulated packet size and the accumulated slot pulse count is compared with an appropriate threshold to determine whether the allotted proportion of bandwidth has been occupied by the packets of respective type. In particular, the subtractor 34 could add the packet size to the aggregate count and the adder 37 may decrement the aggregate count in response to the counter 38. Then the comparator should produce a discard signal if the aggregate count exceeds an appropriate threshold. The comparator 46 would require analogous alteration.
In practice it may be feasible to combine the packet selectors 35 with the packet filters 8 a so that selector 35 in FIG. 3 would be an AND function enabling selector 36.

John Lennon's killer is now 0-for-8 in requests for parole. Mark David Chapman, who shot Lennon outside his New York City apartment on December 8, 1980, has been denied parole for an eighth time by a three-member panel that still considers him a threat to society; in its denial, the panel wrote to Chapman that he "would not live and remain at liberty without again violating the law...Your actions have devastated a family and those who loved the victim." Chapman is serving 20-years-to-life for murdering Lennon and is permitted to apply for parole every two years, which he'll likely do again in 2016.

Nastily elastic, fantastically dense, "Clouds" heralds a brand-new age for Prince — one where he's ready to return to the spotlight, and on a very big stage. So, really, that makes it the old age for Prince, right?
Or, in this case, the Art Official Age — the title of his first solo album since returning to Warners Bros. The suddenly resurgent Prince is also releasing another project this fall with 3rd Eye Girl called Plectrum Electrum. Both albums are due September 30, 2014.
But first there's this early taste of Art Official Age: "Clouds," which directly references his having been stuck in suspended animation for some time, a sad state of affairs that saw Prince systematically dismantle his own career — beginning with changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol — in the midst of a pitched argument with this same label.
A lengthy period in the indie wilderness followed. He certainly made some great music, but who really heard it? Enough of all that, "Clouds" seems to be saying. Time to get back to good times, to his patented loopy combinations of space-age philosophizing, lip-smacking sexualizing and ass-shaking funkifying. And it's all made complete with a mystifyingly cool vocal assist from Lianne La Havas.
Prince, who recently sold out an overseas tour called 'Hit and Run' with 3rd Eye Girl, has already released "Breakfast Can Wait" and "Fixurlifeup" from Plectrum Electrum. But this one may be the best yet.

An age old question...
Hi guys - sorry if this is a cliche of a question, but I can't really find a specific answer for this anywhere, so I'm hoping one fo you can help!
I currently have the following:
Core2Quad Q9400 Overclocked to 3.2Ghz, with some Mushkin ddr2 800 Ram, so its running in a 1:1 ratio. Due to the 800mhz Ram, I cant really comfortably overclock the processor any more.
Current Gfx card is a GTX460 1 gb.
I play on a 46 inch tv at 1080p, and I want some real graphics muscle for upcoming games like Crysis 2 and to be able to enable some features on Metro 2033. Basically I want to futureproof a little in the graphics department without having to upgrade to an I5/I7 rig just yet (waiting till the 3rd quarter, so the bugs are ironed out!).
My question is: Would it be worth getting a GTX 580 now, or would this be bottlenecked by my processor? Also, even if it is, would a bottleneck prevent me from benefitting from the cards Anti Aliasing capabilities (e.g. the card is bottlenecked in Frames per second by the processor, but would other IQ settings impact the framerate any more? Are the IQ settings also CPU dependant?) I hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance
Re: An age old question...
Your processor is still fairly powerful. If you want to get a GTX 580, get a GTX 580, and enjoy it. :)
Re: An age old question...
Hehe thanks - I guess that's all the justification I need! :D

Big ol' girly man.Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, under growing pressure from his conservative supporters, promised Wednesday to veto the gay-marriage bill passed less than a day earlier by the Democrat-led Legislature.
The Legislature's action trampled over Proposition 22, an initiative passed overwhelmingly in 2000 that banned same-sex marriage in California, said a spokeswoman for the governor.
"The governor believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action -- which would be unconstitutional -- but by a court decision or another vote of the people,'' said Margita Thompson, Schwarzenegger's press secretary. "We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails the vote. Out of respect for the will of the people, the governor will veto AB849.''
Democrats said they weren't surprised by Schwarzenegger's announcement but were disappointed, especially by the speed of the decision.
"For a man who claims rather grandiosely to be 'following the will of the people' when he doesn't even allow the people to express his will to them as he does with every other bill is a deep disappointment to me," said state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica.
Condemnation from gay and lesbian rights activists was swift.
"Who's the girly man now?" said Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights. "... Real courage and real leadership and real strength and real protection of those who are marginalized by the law should have come at hands of a governor who prides himself in his strength of leadership and his boldness."
While Schwarzenegger had hinted he would veto the bill, Wednesday's abrupt early evening announcement came as a surprise. "I'm not going to talk about that at all today,'' the governor said when he was asked about a possible veto at a morning meeting with Salvation Army volunteers in Sacramento.
At the same Sacramento stop, Thompson told reporters there was no hurry to make a decision on the bill. It would be handled the same as any other bill sent to the governor, she added.
But outside the Salvation Army warehouse, Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families talked about how important the bill was to the conservatives who recent polls show have become Schwarzenegger's strongest supporters.
"If the governor is going to keep his word and be the people's governor, he has to veto AB849,'' he said.
Schwarzenegger needs something to fire up his supporters heading into the Nov. 8 special election. With both his "Live Within Our Means" budget initiative and reapportionment revamp slipping in the polls, the governor can't afford to have any Republicans stay away on election day.
Conservative leaders such as Traditional Values Coalition lobbyist Benjamin Lopez already have suggested that if Schwarzenegger didn't veto the same-sex marriage bill, "many conservatives will stay home in protest."
By quickly promising the veto and accusing the Legislature of ignoring the wishes of Californians, Schwarzenegger could quickly find himself with plenty of supporters. While a Field Poll last week put the governor's approval rating at a record low of 36 percent, California voters were even less enamored with the Legislature, knocking its rating down to 27 percent.
"The governor can point out that he's the one person in Sacramento who's responding to what people said they wanted in a statewide election,'' said Kevin Spillane, a GOP consultant. "He can also talk about how the Legislature is more interested in same-sex marriage and driver's licenses for illegal aliens than it is in the meat-and-potato issues that affect the life of each and every Californian.''
It's a stand that could play well not only with Republicans but also with moderate Democrats and independents still unhappy at the idea of same-sex marriage and now angry that the Legislature has pushed aside their vote.
But Democrats are warning the governor that five years have made a big difference in the way Californians view same-sex marriage.
Two months before voters passed Prop. 22, a poll by the Public Policy Institute of California showed that likely voters favored a ban on same-sex marriage by 57 to 38 percent. In a poll taken last month by the same group, likely voters were split evenly on the question, 46 to 46 percent, although nearly 70 percent of Republican voters continued to disapprove.
"The issue has become more partisan, but that's a pretty major shift in public opinion,'' said Mark Baldassare, the poll's director. "If it came to a vote today, it could be a very close election.''
Schwarzenegger can win back moderates because "it's a chance for him to make history and stand up for equality,'' said Gloria Nieto, a member of the Democratic National Committee's gay and lesbian caucus and executive director of the Lyon-Martin Women's Health clinic in San Francisco.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said he wasn't surprised at Schwarzenegger's announcement, but he said the governor had missed a "rare and unique" chance.
"He missed a golden opportunity to stand on history and do what is noble and right," he said.
Democrats pledged to continue battling until Schwarzenegger actually signed the veto message.
Kuehl said supporters, including those in Hollywood, would continue to put pressure on the governor.
"There will be people he calls his friends who will call and try to influence him," she said. "A lot of people in the industry know this is the right thing to do and understand there is no reason loving couples shouldn't be able to be married in the state."
Regardless of what happens now, the fight for same-sex marriage is not over, added Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, the author of AB849.
"The more the public becomes familiar with the issue, they move in our direction," he said.
What happens when that religious setting won't do it? And an overwhelming majority of them won't due to the plain, literal decrees in the Bible which guides most church doctrine.Originally Posted by Chip R
I belong to a church - and alot of churches follow this thinking - that won't marry two heterosexuals if the are living together prior to marriage.
Alot of people want that nice church wedding. But they just don't want to have to adhere to church teachings in order to get it. And when that is the case - let them go to a secular source.

Sure, there's likely only one Truth, but I'm 100% positive you couldn't be farther away from it. Far as I'm concerned you're absolutely morally wrong on this.Originally Posted by traderumor
Now I fully understand you have the same take on my position and that's fine. We don't have to agree. That's why I made the point that this isn't a theocracy. Frankly, neither one of us should be hostage to other's morality.
That's why gay marriage should be treated as a matter of law, which is supposed to be blind on matters of race, religion and sex.
And, again, apparently we haven't reached any sort of decadent tipping point here in Massachusetts. Haven't had orgies in the street or people deciding that the institution of marriage has lost all meaning. Like, I said it's like gay people started getting married and the only people it affected was them. Everybody just went on with their lives. Wow, it's like live and let live in action.
The only boogeyman in the closet with this is that of the people who think their morality/religion/fear/intolerance should dictate the laws that guide everyone else. I don't see why that should matter as a point of law as it's patently unamerican.

This is the argument that several thousand people in Utah are going to use if Gay Marriage is adopted nationwide. They will say, "your morality/religion/fear/intolerance should not dictate the laws that guide us. You allow gays to marry, under that say law you must allow multiple marriage." If you apply the equal protection clause of the Constitution to Gay Marriage (which is their claim in the courts), then you must apply it to Polygamy. If you don't you are discriminating against them and not being very tolerant.

To which they'll get the reply that our legal system is built around two-person unions and the property, inheritance, divorce, child-rearing issues involved make polygamy completely inapplicable to the American legal system.Originally Posted by George Foster
Legally speaking, polygamy doesn't have a leg to stand on. The main problem is that it violates the equality fundamental to our current marriage laws. It's nothing more than a red herring in the gay marriage debate. The one sets no precedent for the other.

Make that a thing.
What if my morality says it's ok to kill people? Why do you impose your morality on me, which says I'm not allowed to kill people? The imposition or morality argument fails to recognize that both sides of any issue espouse a morality of some type. Some people's morality is derived from religion, other's aren't. The US Constitution has stated that the Congress shall pass no laws establishing any specific religion from which our laws will derive their moral compass. This doesn't mean individuals cannot use a relgious justification for wanting to pass a type of legislation. In fact, many of our laws have such justification, it's just that so many people agree with it, that it's not an issue.
Somebody is going to have their morality upheld, and some other people aren't. The moral imposition arguement is pure BS.
If you go out and kill another person, then you have infringed on their Constitutional right to "Life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness."Originally Posted by RedsManRick
Homosexual marriage does not infringe on any rights of any individuals outside of the marriage.

Colin Farrell Says Being A Father Has Changed His Life
According to celebrity dad Colin Farrell, being a father has changed his life for the better. The Irish hunk, who has two sons, James, 9, and Henry, 2, says that fatherhood has helped him ditch his bad habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle instead. Here are some snippets of his interview with the UK's Men's Health Magazine:
Colin Farrell has revealed that his wild days are over and he now enjoys a healthy lifestyle crediting his children as the reason for the dramatic change.
In an interview in the September issue of Men's Health magazine the Irish star has revealed he has undergone a total body overhaul in order to live as long as possible' so he can see his sons James, nine, and Henry, two, grow up.
Colin explained: What my first son James did was allow me to care for something in this world when I couldn't care for myself. James saved my life.'
Farrell's eldest son, who suffers from Angelman syndrome, was fathered with US model Kim Bordenave, while Henry's mother is actress Alicja Bachleda-CuruÅ› who Colin split from a year after the birth of their son.
And speaking about his healthy lifestyle compared to his old habits he explained: I don't put the same level of energy into healthy living as I did into unhealthy living. I put an enormous amount of energy into the destruction of my body and if I put the same amount into treating my body in a positive way, that too would end up being a sickness. But I eat really well, drink loads of green tea, and take a s***load of vitamins.'

New care home in Penkridge set to welcome residents
Posted: July 18, 2014|
STAFF at a new care home in Penkridge are looking forward to welcoming their first residents, including 87-year-old Mary Briggs.
Pencric, was officially named by Jeremy Lefroy, MP for Stafford, and Janet Johnson, chairman of South Staffordshire Council. The independent living complex provides apartments within a supportive environment for residents aged 55 and above. People living in the scheme benefit from having a dedicated team of staff who can provide support if needed and respond to emergencies 24 hours a day.
Mary Briggs said: "In the past two years I've had two falls at home. I fractured my back in five places and can't walk unaided. I've been quite happy in the bungalow I'm in now but it's not walking frame friendly and since my accident I'm not able to get out and about so I've found it very lonely.
"I'm looking forward to having more company, more activities going on around me, and the peace of mind of knowing help is available on site".

Congrats to former first daughter Chelsea Clinton who got engaged to her longtime beau over the weekend.
Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter is officially engaged to be married to Marc Mezvinsky, a banker and fellow Stanford alumni.
He's the son of former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinsky and former Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy, so it looks like they have a lot in common.
According to People magazine, on Friday, the pair sent out an e-mail to friends and family, saying: "We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged!
"We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."
Congrats to the happy couple!

Tom at Disney California Adventure Stores
by, 04-17-2012 at 12:00 AM
Hello, and welcome to this week's [B]'From The Mouth Of The Mouse!'[/B]
Each week, we spotlight a different Cast Member story to give you more insight into some of your favorite attractions, resorts, and movies from all over the Walt Disney Company.
[SIZE=3][FONT=verdana]This week, we're chatting with Tom, who works in the shops at Disney California Adventure. He's been there for over 7 years, and provides some great insight to a Park that people may not enjoy as much as the original Disneyland. But after reading his interview, you may see it in a different light![/FONT][/SIZE]
Here's Tom!
[/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=verdana][I]JEFF: How did get into Disney to begin with?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM:[/B] I used to watch the Mouseketeers, the original ones, all the time on our little 12 inch black and white TV, back in Montana after school. My cousin and I read lots and lots of comic books; my favorites being the Duck family with Uncle Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews. The Living Desert and the True Life Adventures made the strongest impression on me. When you saw that paintbrush on the movie screen you knew it was going to be special. All those factors combined really started my love for Disney![/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: How did you wind up working for Disney?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM: [/B]I had worked in medical research, both for a private firm and a hospital, for over 30 years and finally retired. Looking for some extra income, I came upon a Disney job fair in Anaheim. I went in at 11:30 and had a job at 2:30![/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: What was your role there?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM:[/B] I worked in the stores the whole time, at Disneys California Adventure. After 4 months, they made me a trainer. Later on, I became a core trainer. I did, however, work at Disneyland three times and twice at World of Disney (on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve, yikes)![/INDENT]
JEFF: Did you want to work at California Adventure?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM: [/B]There were no openings at Disneyland at that time, so I got DCA. Luckily, the evening hours were better for me at DCA, since I was commuting from Hollywood then.[/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: What were your responsibilities there?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM:[/B] Early on, all cast members would were short and the evening shifts, which were only 4 hours. You closed the store, closed the registers and cleaned up.
As a full time CM with more seniority, I would open the store, verify the registers, and stock up the counter supplies. Doors would open and we would greet the guests coming in. We were front line CMs answering a lot of questions about attractions, hours, locations, etc. We also were giving out birthday buttons, talking with guests and their kids, straightening up, and of course, ringing up sales.
With a lot of new CMs, I would be helping them, as well as register procedures. If it rained, we called it ponchomania, because lots and lots of guests lined up to buy ponchos. If the store sold pins, you had to deal with all the pin traders as well; the bad ones were referred to as pin nazis and you knew them by sight. In the Duffy stores, collectors would come in to buy the new items, with a 25 per person limit at a time, so that required two of you to handle those sales. We did lots of chatting with guests as well, and people commented that our park was much friendlier than the other one. In all fairness, Disneyland gets mobbed most of the time, and their CMs get burned out there very quickly.[/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: So you have seen firsthand some of the construction and renovation going on the last few months. Do you feel like this will help with the otherwise negative image DCA had? [/I]
TOM: [/B]I have to say this very strongly: I never heard one single guest complain about the construction to me. They all knew that something magic was going on and when the walls came down it would all be worth it for them. A major theme park had never tried this scale of reconstruction and still stayed open before. Theyre doing it now and it's almost done.
I definitely agree that the park I came to work for in 2003 was not what it should be. There wasn't enough for the guests to do and we weren't very busy. When it's finished this summer, it will almost be a brand new park and much better. I know that people had some sort of expectation it would be Disneyland Part 2 when it opened. It's not. Disneyland is unique and it's the original that make everything else possible. When World of Color came online, I know certain website contributors immediately pooh poohed it as inferior to Fantasmic, and that we wouldn't be able to handle the crowds, and why would anyone want to see it. Well, we passed the million visitor mark a long time ago, and guests seem to love it. As great as it is with the new social technology today, there is too much second guessing today with all the instant feedback websites like Twitter.[/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: Any times you can think of that you went out of your way to make a guest's visit more magical?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM:[/B] I remember a little girl who had come with her family with the sole purpose of meeting Mulan. It was their last day and they hadn't been able to find Mulan. I called up and found out where the meet and greet was and sent them over. They just made it and she stood in line twice to visit with Mulan. They came back to the pin cart where I was and really thanked me.
Another time, I worked briefly in Midway games. A family came with a little girl who was missing three fingers on her hand. She wanted to throw the ball and try to knock down the figures to win a monkey. They didn't patronize her and let her throw even though she barely made it over the wall. I told her that the game wasn't working right and knocked them down myself and let her choose which monkey she wanted. Her smile was wonderful. Those are days that made it all worthwhile for me.[/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: Im sure you get your share of crazy stories about Guests too. Any youd like to share?
[/I][INDENT][B]TOM: [/B]A guest once wanted to know if our store was open until we closed. We said yes, of course it was. And the joke backstage was that we were also closed until we opened.
Another guest said she liked our park, but was sad that we had gotten rid of Pirates of the Caribbean. This happens a lot, as people just come in and automatically assume it's Disneyland. They can't find Space Mountain, Winnie the Pooh, or the castle. Once they find out, they want to know if they have to drive to Disneyland or take a taxi. Other guests have asked where the Betty Boop stuff is, Shamu the whale plushies, Daffy Duck items, and before we bought them, Spiderman figures.
I heard a guest ask where Walt Disney World was and could she drive there from LA in a day. When she was told it was in Orlando, Florida and 2000 miles away, she asked where Florida was. She was not a foreign visitor![/INDENT]
[I]JEFF: Any additional thoughts about DCA that you want people to keep in mind?[/I]
[/FONT][/SIZE][INDENT][SIZE=3][FONT=verdana][B]TOM:[/B] If youve ever been to DCA in the past, please come back to give it another chance once all the construction walls are down and everything is finished. Itll be wonderful.
We'll have more attractions, including a high speed car race in Cars Land. The Wine and Food Festival will be back. We'll have our own parades back again. We ARE different from Disneyland, but still part of the Disney experience.
The Harry Potter thing at Universal really scared the DisneyCcompany when they realized that other parks could do Disney one better at theming, so they put a lot into the new Cars Land area. For me, it's not a competition between us and Disneyland. Disneyland is unique and very special and I always will love going there. But I love my park, and the people in it, too. DCA is just another aspect of the big world of Disney. There are more adventures than just Tinkerbell and Winnie the Pooh, once you get to know it![/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT]

Two things about this story strike me as odd. As they point out over at ToyFare, DC Direct usually makes stuff based on DC comics for the direct market, as you might expect. These are of course not based on DC work, and furthermore seem to be headed for the mass market. Second, "release date: fall?" That's over six months from now; it seems like they would have done better to get them out a bit sooner. But maybe the manufacturing process doesn't allow for that or something.
Anyway, click on over to ToyFare to see the prototypes for a Draenei Paladin, an Orc Shaman, a Dwarf Warrior, and Illidan. (Is it just me, or is the paladin wielding a one-handed weapon with no shield nor offhand?)

Additional Information
- Helps dehydrated hair look its best
- Repairs split ends
- Locks moisture
Moisture is essential for great natural coils and curls. As I Am DoubleButter Cream is a rich emollient blend, graced with the finest array of natural butters and organic oils.
In addittion to outstanding natural moisturizers, it contains Pro-vitamin B5, (known as Panthenol), to help repair split ends and strengthen hair.
Provides dehydrated hair with what it needs to look and behave its very best. Locks in moisture and gives dull dry hair softness, shine and manageability.
Apply As I Am DoubleButter Cream sparingly or liberally depending upon your hair's need for moisture, manageability and vitality. Rub within palms and scrunch onto hair gently so that coils and curls are undisturbed.
As I Am DoubleButter Cream may also be used to set soft lustrous twists and twist-outs.
Don't rub oils or butters into your finished style too vigorously. It disturbs coil/curl definition. Instead, rub product between the palms of your hands, then massage throughout hair and scrunch onto ends.
Try using a little As I Am DoubleButter Cream along with As I Am Twist Defining Cream for in-between retwist touch-ups.

As I Am DoubleButter Cream 20 21
Great Moisturizer Didn't work well at first and then I found out how to use it and now it moisturizes my hair well. I love this stuff. April 2, 2015
Doesn't like my hair I have 4C hair. It has extreme shrinkage with extreme coils which lead me to believe I have something other than 4C hair. Anyway EVERY time I was my hair when I air dry it it's straw dry. I can't do anything to get my hair to be soft and manageable. I tried the As I Am cowash once but it left my hair the same way. Dry, brittle, lifeless. I used this twice and both times had the same results. This left my hair feeling extremely dry but felt waxy. The first time I used this I put it on my hair while it was wet and I didn't use a lot. The turnout wasn't so great. The second use resulted in me putting this on while my hair was dry. This time I put more on my hair and it left my hair the same way. Dry, brittle, and waxy. I don't know why my hair does this after I wash it. It's been doing this ever since I went natural which was March 2012. January 21, 2015
Great for coily hair I first tried this product on dry hair and absolutely hated it. I was so disgusted because the cost was very dear, but fortunately I held on to it. Once I learned about the L.O.C. method and began using it this way, I have never looked back. Hands down the best moisturizer I've used thus far. I use to use Keracare buttercream with their leave in, but that's definitely more lightweight than this. This is expensive, but it's a lot of product packed into the jar and it last me roughly 8 months. I pair the doublebutter cream with the leave in from this line or Shea Moisture's detangler if I desire thicker moisture. I would only recommend this for people with really dry hair (3c-4c range). If you purchase this and find it too heavy, you can try to salvage it by only using a small amount on wet hair, so the formulation is diluted or you can return it. They now have a lighter weight moisturizer called the Cocoa shea whip, which may be better I don't know, because I have not tried it. July 22, 2014
Not for me I have tried several products from this line. This is the only one so far I don't love. It is much too thick and even a tiny bit left my hair stiff, sticky, and dry looking. Maybe it is just too heavy for my hair to handle. **i have fine 3a/3b naturally curly Caucasian hair. July 12, 2014

Family & Friends,
I am privileged to have the opportunity to go to St. Petersburg Russia from June 6-12 this year. I will be traveling with a small group of other pastors through the missions organization Open Doors. We will be meeting with local field staff along with indigenous pastors from Russian and the stan countries. The indigenous pastors and field staff are both under persecution in their places of ministry, much of it from their own government. During the trip the other pastors and myself will be meeting with these ministers to encourage them, listen to them, and pray for them. We will also have the unique occasion to strategize ways of ongoing support and ministry in these regions.
What first drew my interest in this trip was the ability to go to Russia and possibly develop long term possibilities for ministry there. I have a heart for Russia. It first started with a fascination with the literature and history of the country. That has grown into a deep desire to be involved with an ongoing work such as this in that country. I am excited about this opportunity and how it could create an avenue for taking the Gospel deeper and deeper into Russia.

Hi, my name is Monsoon. And I'm a Traxxaholic.
Started 7 weeks ago, I purchased a new Revo 3.3 to replace my 5 year old Revo 2.5. A week later, bought a Slash 4x4 VXL and a Stampede 4x4 VXL. 10 Days later I bought a E-Revo 1/16 VXL. A week after that, I bought a Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL. Sold the Revo 3.3, because I was enjoying the electrics too much.
And finally today, I purchased a Summit. Do I have a problem or what...? Thought I would share while my batteries are charging for maiden drive.
Tomorrow my buddy and I are taking the Slash's to the track for our first race.
Show me the serenity......

Respond to Review of Le Potager du Marais
by davidbridel
Review: It might be a bit over-rated. Sure, it's refreshing to find well-made vegan food in the heart of Paris. But I found the three entrees my party ordered to be lacking in variety, the desserts to be less than fresh, and the price to be pretty severe. It's good, but I can't say I thought it was great.

Choosing Java vs Python on Google App Engine
